The woods were a little quiet. Fatty Yu was very worried about whether a snake would suddenly fall off his head. He tried hard to control the appropriate distance between Sister Meng and me. In his words, he wanted to be the first to be the first to be attacked by a snake if it bit him. It took time to find Sister Meng and get treatment.
However, his wishful thinking soon came to nothing.
Something inside seemed intent on distracting them. Sounds started coming from different directions.
"Master Gu, these things seem to be deliberately distracting us?" Daozi turned around and said.
"Yes!" Song Beike nodded, "I think the more this happens, the more we have to do the opposite."
"Yes, the enemy is right, it is best for us to divide our forces into two groups."
"What? The troops are divided into two groups?" Fatty Yu asked in surprise, "Shouldn't we be closely united if we do the opposite? Why are we still separated?"
"Fat man, you are stupid. If we don't separate, we will be doing what you want!" I smiled mysteriously.
After that, the Ghost Marquis greeted Su Muzhe and the others and walked into the mountains. Knife and I stayed and continued in the original direction.
About half an hour later, I saw a treetop in the forest. At a glance, I saw a dark wind blowing inside, and there were scattered clothes and debris everywhere, and it was a mess.
"It seems that it was left behind by the villagers when they escaped." Daozi looked at it last time and picked up a shoe on the ground.
"Come and look, there are bones here!"
"There are still some residual blood stains on the bones. It seems that they are the remains of something that was eaten." Knife analyzed.
"Damn it!" Fatty Yu cursed secretly, took out an engineering shovel from his bag, and stood ready.
There was an abandoned livestock pen a hundred meters away from us. When we took a closer look, we immediately stopped and didn't dare to take a big breath.
I saw a zombie about ten feet tall with green fur all over its body, greedily eating a pig leg.
"Damn, it's a rice dumpling!" Daozi said coldly, one of his hands already touching the long-handled knife at his waist.
"How can there be rice dumplings in broad daylight?"
"It's too dark here, and the yin energy is strong. It's not surprising that zombies appear here. What's more, don't you see the bones all over the ground? It means there is enough food here."
Knife took out a net and a few peach wood nails from his backpack, then hid in a corner not far from the zombies and nailed five peach wood nails there. As long as the zombie steps on the nail, the sole of its foot will be pierced and the nail will be unable to move.
The knife gave me a signal, so I picked up a few pieces of rotten smelly meat from the ground, placed them carefully in the center of the net, and then hid behind a boulder.
The zombie jumped out of the pen when he smelled the food, and rushed to the net in one step. Then his two green-haired corpse claws picked up the raw meat and started to eat it. At this moment, a huge net covered the whole place.
The zombie immediately jumped to the left subconsciously, trying to get out of the way of the net. But this time it jumped, it just jumped onto the peach wood nail embedded with the knife, nailing its two soles to the ground firmly.
The zombie immediately roared with bared teeth, widened its golden eyes, and waved its claws wildly, trying to break free.
After struggling to no avail, he became furious, opened his mouth, and streams of corpse energy poured out.
"This corpse gas is highly poisonous. Once inhaled, it will immediately cause corpse transformation. Everyone, be careful!"
"What should we do?" Fatty Yu said in fear, "I can't find my black donkey's hooves!"
"It's not a big problem, just hold your breath and it'll be fine!" Daozi said easily.
We were about to retreat when suddenly a figure swooped down from the tree and approached the zombie with lightning speed. Suddenly, the soles of his feet stopped, and we saw a flash of red flames in our eyes, and then the zombie fell to the ground. Become a charred corpse.
When I looked at him from a distance, I felt that the man's back looked very familiar. After taking a closer look, I found that she was a woman in her sixties. She seemed to have been seen somewhere before, and it was not long ago.
Daozi and I went over to say thank you, but when we got closer, we were suddenly blinded.
That person was none other than Yan Yunshu. I opened my mouth so wide that my neck became stiff, and I muttered, with a look of surprise on my face.
"Mr. Yan?!" Daozi's attitude suddenly became respectful.
"Mr. Yan?" I immediately realized that things might have reached another critical point, "Why is she here too?"
Mr. Yan looked at me and then at Huai Rujin, and said, "Why did you arrive just now? We have been waiting for you for several days."
I asked: "Mr. Yan, what is going on? What kind of wind brings you here?"
"That girl Lin Xiaoyu sent a message saying that you are here."
"But I didn't tell her that I was here?" I thought to myself, but I was mainly worried, "This Yan Yunshu has a suspicious identity. She is most likely a descendant of a Taoist priest from Guizhou. She appears here this time. , I’m still not sure what route to take, so I’ll just be on guard.”
Huai Rujin analyzed: "I think this may be my father's intention to spread our news along the way. I think his intention is to set up obstacles for another group of people."
"Another group of people?" I asked confused.
"It seems that this is the eldest lady of the Huai family? You are right, your father is trying to buy you time." Yan Yunshu said, "We have been hearing news about you all the way here, and it has become a river and lake. The first big move.”
I thought about it and felt that things might really be on track at this point. He looked at Daozi again, "Daozi, how long do you think Master Gu and the others have been gone? Why haven't they come back yet?"
Daozi shrugged, saying that he didn't know either, "Don't worry, Mr. Gu is an old man, it's okay."
"Isn't that what I'm talking about? Isn't it that Mr. Yan is here and we can't have a good time together?"
Daozi paused and said, "However, Mr. Yan is here, and we really need to find him quickly!"
Yan Yunshu didn't seem to care about the whereabouts of Gui Hou Ye and the others, "Let me remind you, the other party is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Don't let them take the lead."
"Them?" All I could think of at the moment were the enemies of the Huai family mentioned by Hua Rujin, but I was thinking in my heart, "But those people are not worth mentioning at all, but you, Yan Yunshu, It’s even more doubtful, I even doubt it now, this is all a play directed and acted by you!”
Daozi asked doubtfully: "I wonder who these other people are?"
"Going up from here is the highest point here, which is also the location of the dragon's horn." Yan Yunshu said, "When you get there, you will naturally know."
"Then what should we do next?"
"Did you see the two people buried alive outside?" Yan Yunshu said, "These two people died before you came. In fact, we were already there at that time, but they still died in front of us."
"Oh my God!" I said in surprise, "Did it really happen to those snakes?"
"Snakes are not scary, it's the people who control them that are scary!"
I nodded thoughtfully and thought to myself: "It's a pity that we don't know anything now. It seems that the other party has a lot of background."
After a while, Lord Ghost led Su Muzhe and the others back. This Lingnan No. 1 Gu, who has been famous in the world for a long time, can be considered a monumental figure. Daozi and I can't wait to see him. And the senior masters. But when he saw Yan Yunshu, he became very respectful, and his previous unruly attitude was gone.
"Mr. Yan? Why are you here?" Ghost Marquis asked in surprise.
Su Muzhe and Song Beike were much more polite when they met Yan Yunshu than when they met Lord Ghost, and I was immediately confused. Su Muzhe and Song Beike greeted Yan Yunshu, and she just nodded slightly.
Taking advantage of Yan Yunshu's inattention, Lord Gui turned his head and bared his teeth, asking the knife with his mouth: "What's going on?"
Daozi smiled helplessly and replied with his mouth: "I don't know either, it just happened by chance."
According to the agreement between Lin Xiaoyu and I, we originally planned to wait for the matter here to come to an end before rejoining them. Of course, we were with Huai Rujin, so we couldn’t hide this matter, and Yan Yunshu knew it too. It makes sense.
Unlike that guy Lao Ji who sneered at Yan Yunshu, Mr. Guihou respected Yan Yunshu very much. Originally, Daozi was going to help Mr. Yan carry his luggage, but he was snatched away by Mr. Guihou. I patted the knife from behind and said, "What's going on? Why is Master Gu carrying Mr. Yan's luggage?"
"You don't understand this. Although Mr. Gu is an elder in the clan, he admired Mr. Yan very much when he was young. He said that she was a hero among women, and that she was not inferior to men. Anyway, she is... you know!"
"I finally understand." I nodded, my heart skipping a beat, "Isn't this Master Gu secretly in love with Yan Yunshu?"
"Anyway, no matter what, I'm getting more and more excited now. Now that all the heroes are coming together, it's a great event. It's exciting just thinking about it!" Daozi said excitedly.
We continued to head towards the top of the mountain. On the way, we heard Lord Ghost talking about the pursuit process just now, saying that those things may be controlled by people, but the opponent was able to escape without revealing anything under the pursuit of four top masters. .
Along the way, I saw only a vast expanse of white between the sky and the earth. Snowflakes were falling from the sky, scattered and gathered, light and naughty like butterflies, dancing in various postures in the air, flying or hovering. Or fall straight and quickly to the ground.
Looking down from the mountain, the land is covered in silver. I couldn't help but think of a poem and read: "On a clear day, it is particularly enchanting to see the snow-covered land."
As soon as we climbed to the top of the mountain and looked far into the distance, our eyes were involuntarily attracted to a plain at the foot of the mountain, which was a flower field. There is white snow all over the fields, but only the flower field is covered with a thin layer of snow, exposing the flower buds, and the faint fragrance is floating in the wind, making people feel relaxed and happy.
"How come there is such a big flower field here?"
"This place was developed into a farm not long ago, and this flower field belongs to that farm." Song Beike pointed to a building at the foot of the mountain. It was large in scale and looked like a house. "When I came here, it was still a wasteland. I didn’t expect that time has changed and it’s already a completely different story!”
