Although Commander Xu, the inner courtyard guard of Xue Mansion.
It's about He Mansion's Li Guards.
Jin An couldn't fully digest it in a short time.
I always feel like this is quite magical.
But fortunately, Jin An has never seen any battles in the past few months, so it's not hard for him to accept.
"Wei Li, tell me honestly, what is your real name?"
"plum?"
"May?"
"Which one is your real name?"
Li Huwei slapped his chest loudly and said that he would change his name or his surname. Of course his surname was Li, and his real name was Li Luotian. Jin An immediately laughed, I believed you, and said, "Why don't you call yourself a righteous man?" Li, of course Li?”
Jin An's words were originally expressed in reverse, meaning that since you, Guard Li, can even disguise yourself, wouldn't it be natural for you to change your name?
Who knows.
Li Huwei didn't know if he really didn't realize that Jin An's Kitchen God was attached to the Door God - there were paintings inside the paintings. After hearing Jin An's words, Li Huwei's eyes lit up and he suddenly smiled.
"good!."
"It's reasonable and reasonable. This is good."
"Since ancient times, many heroic young men and talented men were defeated in the end because they were unable to be straight, courageous and strong in middle age. From now on, I will be called Li Suo. Of course, Li is straight and strong."
Looking at Guard Li who was so thick-skinned, Jin An's forehead had a few black lines hanging down.
"If you can't get rid of your mule, you can still be confident, right?"
The old Taoist priest laughed out loud at Jin An's remark, and gave Jin An a big sow, saying that the devil is as high as one foot, and the road is as high as one foot. Little brother, you are awesome, doing one thing after another. .
Next, under the leadership of Li Huwei, Jin An and the old Taoist priest met the witness Li Huwei specially found in the lower courtyard of Xue Mansion.
They began to interrogate these people overnight for any possible clues about Headless Village.
These people are all Xue family servants who followed Xue Xiong to hunt in the mountains a year ago.
As the eldest son of the Xue family, Xue Xiong often takes a month or two to go hunting in the mountains.
In the past two months, the eldest young master of the Xue family would definitely not have done the work of making fire, cooking, washing and setting up tents himself.
So a year ago, the eldest son of the Xue family went hunting in the mountains. In addition to a few martial arts instructors who were his mentors and martial arts teachers raised by the Xue family, he also brought with him a large number of ordinary servants and several medical clinics opened by the Xue family. Several doctors there.
These servants were ordinary people. They were only responsible for the eldest son of the Xue family, making fires, cooking, and living in the wild. They were also the logistics staff. Therefore, they did not go into the mountain together, but stayed outside the mountain to take care of the logistics.
A year ago, there were as many as thirty or forty people accompanying him.
The Xue family is a wealthy family and is not short of money.
In the world of rich people, they can really do whatever they want.
It is precisely because of this that the Xue family left a major clue to the location of Wutou Village this time.
There are thirty or forty people who can provide the general direction of Tutou Village.
Although due to their ordinary physiques, these servants and doctors did not accompany him to the mountains for hunting, but only provided baggage and support materials outside the mountains, they followed Xue Xiong's footsteps all the way.
Just ask the servants and doctors where Xue Xiong and the others have been, which mountains they have hunted in, and what their general routes are, and then they can easily deduce the general direction of Wutou Village.
…
…
There is a high mountain in Wuzhou Prefecture called Wushan Ridge.
Wushan Ridge is one of the highest mountains in Wuzhou Prefecture. It is named because the mountains are green and rich in medicinal materials.
One of the tributaries of the Yinyi River flows through Wushan Ridge, so the mountains are very humid and cold. This also causes the mountains to be shrouded in clouds and fog all year round, making it easy to get lost, so few people go deep into Wushan Ridge.
Moreover, this primitive mountain forest is densely covered with wild beasts and poisonous insects. Even if there are hunters who live nearby and make a living by hunting, they only dare to move around the outskirts of the mountain.
The place adjacent to Wuzhou Prefecture is called Cangshan Prefecture. If we talk about the most famous mountain in Cangshan Prefecture, it is Cang'er Mountain, where the word "Cangshan" comes from.
Cang'er Mountain is connected to the sky by the sea of clouds and towers into the clouds. This is a majestic and steep mountain range that spans the two prefectures. One of its branches extends into the boundary of Wuzhou Prefecture and borders Wushan Ridge of Wuzhou Prefecture, forming a complex mountain topography.
Both Wushan Ridge and Xang Er Mountain are inaccessible and steep mountains with complex terrain and poisonous insects and wild animals. Only herb collectors and hunters dare to enter the mountains.
But I only dared to wander around the outer edge of the mountain and never dared to go too deep.
Only the brave martial arts practitioners who are skilled in martial arts, or the young knights with the dream of being a chivalrous and righteous man, dare to go deep into the mountains and forests full of wild beasts to kill the giant man-eating insects.
Xixisuosuo——
Xixisuosuo——
Two rough men covered in blood and carrying machetes ran wildly through the forest, knocking through thickets of weeds and thorns and frightening the birds in the forest.
The two men had sinewy faces and a fierce look in their eyes. At first glance, they were two wanted murderers who had just committed a crime outside and were planning to escape into the mountains to hide.
And judging from the similar facial features of the two, they are still two brothers.
"Brother, it's almost dark, why haven't you found the hanging road yet?"
"The herb gatherer we just killed on the way into the mountain said that there is a suspended road after entering the mountain. It was a secret shortcut that merchants used to avoid bandits and enter Cangshan Prefecture from Wuzhou Prefecture. We are here We haven’t found the hanging road yet, could it be that we have been deceived?”
"Damn it, if I had known he had lied to us, I should not have wiped his neck just now but disembowelled him like a pig or a dog. Wiping his neck would have made him die too easily."
This pair of brothers, the eldest brother is called Wang Haichuan and the younger brother is called Wang Haifu.
The person who just spoke was his younger brother Wang Haifu.
The younger brother is tall and muscular, and the nine-ring machete in his hand weighs six or seven kilograms, making him a head taller than his older brother Wang Haichuan.
The elder brother is lean and slender, with a somewhat dull face and an honest face. He was silent along the way and didn't talk much.
But when it comes to ruthlessness, this taciturn and seemingly honest man is responsible for the most murders.
These brothers were a pair of ruthless gangsters who robbed merchants and killed people without blinking an eye. They had been wanted by the court for many days.
Today, the brothers killed several government officials and village warriors, and then escaped from the local government's siege. Faced with the siege and suppression by several government officials, the two brothers had no choice but to go deep into the old forest with dense forests and few people.
So there was this scene in front of me.
"Brother, in my opinion, that bullshit Hanging Road is most likely fake. Why don't we quickly change our route before it gets dark? Otherwise, if we don't find the Hanging Road, we will end up in vain."
"We don't necessarily have to flee to Cangshan Prefecture. Wuzhou Prefecture is so big. After our brothers change their names, we can find a hilltop and become king, and then continue to work back to our old line of work. We will still have big fish and meat for every meal. Happy days.”
Wang Haifu was so bored that he kept looking for something to say along the way.
But the eldest brother Wang Haichuan remained silent all the way and just ran away.
The younger brother Wang Haifu, who was taller than him and had a strong back, seemed to be more afraid of his elder brother who was a head shorter than him. Seeing that his elder brother was silent all the way, he shut up obediently and continued to escape with his elder brother.
He knew that his brain was not as flexible as his elder brother's.
Ever since I was little, my eldest brother has been the main one.
The two brothers continued to run wildly in the quiet deep mountains and old forests, knocking through bushes and thorns. Suddenly, their vision was empty.
The lush vegetation disappeared and became an open space.
A cliff appears in front of you.
A winding and steep cliff road appeared in front of them.
The cliff road is extremely steep, as if it was carved out by miraculous craftsmanship. It stands at the junction of Wushan Ridge and Cang'er Mountain, as if the mountain range has been torn apart and a fault zone has been created.
The cliff road is narrow and steep.
The two brothers took a look and found that there were even many places where it was difficult for even one person to pass.
"Is there really a hanging road?"
"Hey, it's no wonder they say money can make all the difference, but those walking businessmen can actually find such a dangerous road in the mountains. Brother, do you think we will encounter those walking businessmen later?"
His younger brother, Wang Haifu, looked at the cliff road and saw a steep cliff that would be irreversible if he lost his footing. He laughed and joked. The heavy nine-ring knife in his hand made a clanging sound when he shook it slightly, and his murderous aura was cold.
Wang Haifu spoke in a relaxed tone.
If you don't have any courage, how can you make a living by killing people and robbing goods?
For reckless bandits like them who always keep their heads in their waistbands, they have long taken life and death lightly and are not afraid of death.
"We just happened to escape all the way. We didn't bring enough dry food when we went into the mountains temporarily. If we encounter those traveling merchants later, we can just kill them and replenish our five internal organs temple."
The lean and silent Wang Haichuan, with numb eyes, looked ruthlessly at the cliff road standing on the steep mountain wall, and said in deep thought.
Wang Haifu laughed and said something clever, and then the two brothers boldly stepped onto the cliff road in front of them.
Hua Hua——
Hua Hua Hua——
Dusk is dim.
The gloomy sky is mixed with raindrops, beating on the cold mountain walls. The weather in the mountains is like this. It will be sunny when it is sunny, and it will rain suddenly when it is raining.
Wang Haichuan and Wang Haifu never thought that this thrilling and difficult cliff road would be so long. When they reached the end, the cliff road became even more difficult to walk. It turned out that neither of them could stand, and they had to cling to the steep mountain wall. Only by carefully stepping on the road under your feet with half of your foot can you walk slowly.
It is precisely because of this that the two brothers were delayed for a long time and saw that the sky was getting darker and darker.
It was already dark in the mountains.
At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew from nowhere in the mountains, and then it started to rain heavily, which made the already steep cliff road even more difficult to walk.
But having come this far, the two murderous brothers could not go back any longer. They could only endure and continue to move forward, hoping to get out of this damn cliff road as soon as possible, which made people lose patience long ago.
After walking carefully for some distance, before it got dark, they finally saw that the cliff road in front of them began to gradually become wider.
It is difficult to lower half of the foot, but it is possible to lower both feet when the person is pressed against the mountain wall.
The sun was lower at this time and was as red as blood.
The bright red sunset is getting lower and lower in the mountains.
When the last light on the horizon completely faded into darkness, Wang Haichuan and Wang Haifu finally walked through the most difficult part of the hanging road, and the road in front of them became open enough for one person to walk normally.
The two brothers continued to walk forward on the cliff road under the silver moonlight.
Along the way, the eldest brother Wang Haichuan walked silently in front, while the younger brother Wang Haifu followed behind, cursing and complaining.
It is said that this cliff road is really not something that normal people can walk on. How can money push the devil? It is clear that money can push the devil. These traveling businessmen can really hide. Don't let him meet the traveling merchants on the next cliff road, otherwise they will cut off their legs and leave them here to starve to death.
The mountains are quiet.
Quiet.
It was as silent as a huge tomb, not even the chirping of insects or birds, it was silent.
Too quiet.
It's so depressing.
The half-moon above the head seemed to have been half eaten by a tengu. The silver moonlight fell on the quiet mountain forest. On the cliff road, only Wang Haifu could be heard cursing along the way.
Under his feet, there was a pitch-black cliff with nothing visible.
Every time I lower my head and look at the cliff below, I can't help but imagine that there is a pair of blue eyes hidden in the darkness under the cliff, staring at people quietly.
suddenly.
Snap!
"Hmm? What's the sound?"
Wang Haichuan, who had been walking in front, suddenly looked back behind him with a cautious personality.
But behind him there was only darkness, darkness, shrouded in the darkness of the mountains. He could see nothing and heard no strange noises.
"Brother, are you too suspicious? Why didn't I hear anything?"
Wang Haifu, who was impulsive, also followed Wang Haichuan and listened carefully, but he didn't hear anything behind him.
"Brother, I think you are too nervous. If there is really a beast following us two brothers, it just so happens that the nine-ring knife in Grandpa Wang Haifu's hand will make us hungry and open the Five Zang Temple all the way." Wang Haifu said nonchalantly.
The nine-ring knife in his hand rang loudly in his hand, and he said cruelly.
Wang Haichuan stayed there for a while.
He looked behind him suspiciously.
It has been quiet behind me. Except for the occasional whistling mountain breeze, the mountains are quiet and quiet at night.
Later, Wang Haichuan shook his head, thinking that maybe he was too nervous, and the two continued on their way.
However.
The two brothers had not taken a few steps when suddenly, snap! Snap!
Something's wrong!
There is indeed movement!
This time, even the careless and reckless Wang Haifu heard movement behind him, which was the sound of footsteps.
Someone has been quietly following them.
Clang!
Wang Haichuan drew his sword out of its sheath. The two brothers had been working together all year round, keeping vigilant eyes on each other in the direction of the dark mountain wall behind them.
The footsteps disappeared.
The mountains were quiet for a while.
Snap!
The footsteps sounded again, tap, tap, tap—
This time the footsteps kept echoing on the empty cliff road, getting closer and closer. Under the tense muscles of Wang Haichuan and Wang Haifu, in the darkness, there were actually flames beating in the dark sky.
Like a bunch of will-o'-the-wisps dancing in the void.
The bunch of will-o'-the-wisps got closer and closer with the sound of footsteps, and then a Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe with five internal organs approached.
The Taoist priest with five internal organs robes was a middle-aged man, carrying a bag on his back, like a hiker, and holding a torch in his hand.
The face of this middle-aged Taoist priest with five internal organs robes appeared and disappeared under the dim light of the torch, and it was difficult to see the expression on his face clearly for a while.
Wang Haichuan and Wang Haifu were stunned when they looked at the middle-aged Taoist priest who appeared on the cliff road late at night.
Seeing that there were other people here, the middle-aged Taoist priest in five-colored robes was also stunned.
"Hey, are there any other donors on Xuankong Road late at night?"
"I am a Taoist priest from Wu Zang Taoist Temple. I heard that there is a village in the mountains called Taoyuan Village. I have been looking for Taoyuan Village in the mountains. I wonder if the two donors have heard of it?"
