Is that Luming Mountain?
Yu Ye reined in the horse and stopped to watch.
After turning a corner along the mountain road, there was no longer any obstruction by rocks and trees. Three to five miles ahead, there stands a stone mountain hundreds of feet high. Seen from a distance, the shape of the mountain looks like a deer crowing with its head raised. Especially the deer head, body and tail are lifelike in shape.
Yu Ye took out an animal skin from his arms.
According to the map on the animal skin, Luming Mountain has arrived.
At the foot of Luming Mountain, there is a mountain col. On the mountain col, there are lush trees and houses, you can hear the crowing of cocks and the barking of dogs, and the curls of smoke from kitchens.
Pingshui Town.
I remember that Feng Laoqi mentioned before his death that his belongings were stored in Pingshui Town in Luming Mountain. You can find things just by following the signs on the map. I didn't pay much attention at the time, but now all the clues are on this map.
Yu Ye held the animal skin and carefully identified it.
On the palm-sized animal skin, there is a mountain drawn crookedly. If it were not marked with the words Luming Mountain, it would look more like a dog. The dog head, which should be called a deer head, is actually quite detailed. Not far from Luming Mountain, there are several houses painted on it. It should be Pingshui Town, with a cross street, big trees, and a yard. In addition, an arrow was drawn to go around Luming Mountain with the words Beimang Village written on it. Other than that, no secret marks were found.
Yu Ye turned the animal skin over again to check, but there was still nothing.
The map left by Feng Laoqi is no different from a child's random doodles. How can we find the belongings he stored in it?
Yu Ye raised his head and glanced at the sky before driving his horse forward.
Last night I was sleeping outdoors and met some disciples from Beiqi Mountain. Although he didn't show up, he thought about it for half the night. It is really difficult for a child in the mountains to worry about life and death, worry about hatred every day, and also worry about the changes in Daze Daomen. When you really can’t figure it out, you can only take one step at a time. But now when he arrived at Pingshui Town in Luming Mountain, what awaited him was still blank.
After crossing a stone bridge, we arrived at the town.
There are few pedestrians on the streets, but the smell of food wafts from every house.
It was lunch time.
After walking a hundred feet along the street, we came to an intersection. To the south of the street, there are few households; to the west, there are many houses, and the street goes through the town; to the north, there are several independent courtyards. There is an old tree growing in the courtyard. Its branches and leaves are whirling and its crown provides shade, making it quite eye-catching.
Yu Ye waved his horse's head and headed north.
After a while, I came to the old tree.
There is a tea stall under the shade of a tree, and a man is guarding it. Maybe there is no business at noon, and he is dozing alone.
Around the old tree, there are five or six houses, which look like the residences of wealthy people. I don’t know if any of them have the courtyards painted in Feng Laoqi’s picture.
Yu Ye put away the animal skin in his hand and jumped off the horse.
"Hey, I'm thirsty. Here's a bowl of tea!"
The man woke up from his nap, stood up and greeted.
Yu Ye walked to the stall, took the tea and tasted it. It had a faint medicinal smell and a hint of sweetness.
"This is a local herbal tea with added licorice. It is sweet and delicious, and it can relieve summer heat and reduce fever!"
The middle-aged man had a kind face and asked with a smile: "I am a foreigner, right? Are you visiting relatives or friends?"
"Come and find your relatives!"
Yu Ye drank herbal tea and said something perfunctory. He looked at the houses around him and asked, "Does the eldest brother recognize the owners of these families?"
"Of course I recognize it!"
The man nodded, shook his head and said, "There is a yard that has been vacant all year round, but I have never seen the owner."
"Which family is Brother talking about?"
"It's in the alley over there."
Yu Ye followed the man's fingers and saw that there was indeed an alley twenty or thirty feet away. He put down the tea bowl and led the horse towards the alley.
The alley is located between two houses.
When Yu Ye walked to the alley, he remembered that he had forgotten to pay for tea. But the elder brother was so kind that he didn't pursue any demands.
Crossing the alley, another independent courtyard appears in front of you. The door to the courtyard was locked, and the door lock was covered with dust. The steps were surrounded by grass, and there was a small tree growing alone beside the courtyard door.
Yu Ye looked at the small tree in front of the door and secretly called out luck.
Several houses and a tree were painted on Feng Laoqi's animal skin. So he guessed based on the picture, found the old tree, and asked the man selling tea about the situation of the surrounding residents. He never thought that it would be wrong, but instead led him to find the place in front of him.
The uninhabited yard and the small tree in front of the door, aren't they the scenes painted on animal skins?
Yu Ye tied the horse under the tree, took the long sword in his hand, and walked around in front of the courtyard gate. Seeing no one around him, he jumped up from the ground, jumped directly over the courtyard wall, and landed lightly in the courtyard.
Once upon a time, Envy Chenqi and Bai Zhi came and went like shadows like the wind. Now he is as light as a swallow and jumps like flying. But so what, on the contrary, he is panicked day by day and restless every night.
The yard is full of weeds. The side houses on the left and right are also covered in dust and look like they have been unoccupied for many years. There are three rooms facing south, but the doors are open, and the front doors are covered with messy footprints.
Yu Ye frowned.
There were clear footprints on the ground, it was obvious that someone had been here.
Does this courtyard belong to Feng Laoqi? Did he find the wrong place? Who else could climb over the wall like him?
Yu Ye walked to the door of the house and stopped, looking at the quiet yard again.
The yard is quite spacious. Although it is overgrown with weeds, the well platform, flower stands and pool are also unique. It is obviously the residence of a wealthy family. However, the rockery in the flower garden is quite ugly and looks nondescript.
Yu Ye walked into the house.
There are no partition walls between the three main rooms, giving you an unobstructed view, but the walls are empty, with nothing but dust on the floor and messy footprints.
Yu Ye was greatly disappointed and beat the scabbard on the ground.
He didn't give up.
If he looked in the wrong place or couldn't find the property stored by Feng Laoqi, he would have no way to explain it to Feng Laoqi's family.
Maybe something is hidden underground.
I knocked on the floor tiles all over the house and activated my spiritual consciousness to check, but still found nothing.
Yu Ye had no choice but to give up and thought of going to the side room in the yard to take a look. And when he was about to walk out of the house, his feet stopped.
At this moment, the sound of someone landing suddenly came from the yard, followed by chaotic footsteps, several figures rushed into the house, and the sound of bowstrings suddenly sounded loudly.
Yu Yeshang was stunned, a few cold stars came towards his face. He hurriedly dodged left and right, but he still uttered an ouch, covered his chest with his hands, staggered back and pressed against the wall, "plopped" and collapsed on the ground, and lost his voice: "Ginger Bear..."
Five strong men rushed into the house, each holding a crossbow. After a volley of fire, they drew their long knives and slashed at them. And then another person walked into the room. He was also quite surprised and said hurriedly: "Wait a minute... Is it your boy?"
The five men stopped, but they still held up their long knives with murderous intent.
Yu Ye sat on the ground, covering his chest with his hands. Half of the arrow shaft was exposed in his hand. He looked seriously injured, but his eyes were blank, staring at the person who made the sound in disbelief.
The strong man who entered the house later had a slightly crooked neck and looked a little weird, but his fierce appearance was the same as before. He was coerced into joining the gang, and they robbed the tomb together. They were imprisoned in the Yan family dungeon together. In the end, he was killed by Mr. Feng for betraying his brother. Seven ginger bears strangled with chains.
Jiang Xiong looked at Yu Ye sitting on the ground and couldn't believe it. He walked closer, stared and asked, "Why is it your boy, Feng Laoqi?"
It turned out that he thought he was Feng Laoqi!
Yu Ye seemed to be frightened and said calmly: "You are dead, could it be a ghost..."
"oh?"
Jiang Xiong stretched out his hand to wipe his beard and suddenly laughed: "Haha, if I hadn't cheated my death, how could I have deceived Feng Laoqi and the Yan family, but..."
He shook his neck, put away his smile, and said bitterly: "Feng Laoqi almost strangled my neck, and I will have to settle the score with him today." He lowered his head to look at Yu Ye, and said suspiciously: "I heard that someone came here. , I thought it was Feng Laoqi who came back. I know that he has been waiting with several brothers in this house in Pingshui Town until today. Didn't you escape from the Yan family with him? Why didn't you see others? When you came here, were you ordered by him to get the treasure?" A fierce look appeared on his face, and he said fiercely: "Boy, tell me the truth, where is Feng Laoqi's treasure hidden, and where is he himself?"
Yu Ye sat on the ground leaning against the wall.
In front of him were five fierce men and the resurrected ginger bear. The shining blade has reached to the tip of his nose, and the bloody murderous aura is cold and threatening.
Yu Ye couldn't help but closed his eyes.
Alas, sometimes what you see with your own eyes may not be true. And that moment is just like this moment. Jiang Xiong's fake death not only deceived Feng Laoqi and the Yan family, but also deceived him in the wild. In order to obtain Feng Laoqi's treasure, Jiang Xiong's insidious intentions and vicious methods are breathtaking.
"boom--"
Perhaps getting impatient, Pan Yuan raised his foot and kicked Yu Ye.
"Boy, if you don't say anything, I will kill you with one knife!"
Yu Ye curled up his legs to avoid and glared at each other.
"hehe--"
Pan Yuan exchanged glances with the companions on his left and right, and said with a sneer: "I picked this kid up on the road and tricked him into dying. Who would have thought that he was so lucky that he is still alive today. He must know the whereabouts of Feng Laoqi. Look, How can I entertain him!"
From the outside, Yu Ye is just a poor boy from the mountains. Now that he is in his hands, he can only control whether he lives or dies.
"Hey, you still have a sword?"
Yu Ye covered his chest with his left hand, and placed his green steel sword on his right hand.
Pan Yuan glanced down, stretched out his hand to grab the long sword, and pulled the sword out of its sheath with a clang. His eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "Xuanhuang Daomen...the sword of Daomen? Boy, how can you hold such a good sword? Do you dare to use it to kill people..."
Before he finished speaking, someone slowly stood up.
Even though five sharp knives were forcing him, he still turned a blind eye and slowly lowered the hand covering his chest. The arrow was thrown to the ground by him, but his chest was unharmed.
Pan Yuan was suddenly startled, and suddenly his eyes flashed. The long sword he was holding was snatched away by his hand. He and his companions were all shocked.
"Boy, what kind of tricks are you doing..."
"I want to kill someone——"
