The van was driving along the provincial highway with six people. Sometimes when there was road construction, the driver was familiar with the road and turned to the rural road to continue running. It seemed that he often ran on this route.
"Brother driver, it looks like you know the road very well! If you haven't run before, you wouldn't dare to drive around." Sun Renyi broke the silence and said.
"Isn't that right? I've been soliciting customers for almost ten years, and I haven't been anywhere. I've been here many times! Hehe!" The driver lit up his cigarette regardless.
"You are really amazing! Are you familiar with the area we are going to?" Sun Renyi wanted to get some information.
"I'm not familiar with it, but I know something." The driver blew out a smoke ring.
Sun Renyi looked at a few people and thought about Xiao Jiujiu.
In order to avoid unknown dangers, they chose to go to the southern part of Yun Province, where there are also gathering places for ethnic minorities.
Sun Renyi usually knew something about that place, but it was all popular information. It was difficult to distinguish between true and false, and the real situation was almost blank.
"Brother, can you tell us about that place? We need to go there for testing, and we will also come into contact with some people from ethnic minorities." Sun Renyi said.
"Well... the south side is full of ethnic minorities, including the Miao, Hani, Bai, Naxi, Dai, Mosuo and many more. Each has its own customs and culture." The driver introduced casually.
"Um...are they easy to get in touch with?" Liu Mingqiang asked tentatively.
"Okay, it's the same as the Han people, but the customs are different. It's great national unity!" The driver blew out another smoke ring.
"I heard that the Miao people can use poison?" Zhou Kai suddenly asked.
Several people quickly winked at him, and Yu Xiaolong even pinched his thigh secretly.
"Yes!" the driver replied casually.
Everyone was stunned, and Sun Renyi quickly asked: "Are they really good at bewitching?"
"Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, many people have seen it with their own eyes! It's not as amazing as in the movie, but it's almost the same." The driver took a deep breath of cigarette.
"A bug entered the body without anyone noticing? And then it was eaten from the inside?" Wang Tianxiang couldn't help but ask.
"A few years ago, a man from our neighboring village went to collect herbs nearby, and unknowingly strayed into the depths of the forest, which is the territory of the Miao people. He saw with his own eyes a man controlling insects flying in the sky, and then disappeared. Everyone thinks it’s poison!” The driver opened the window and threw out the cigarette butt.
"Oh...I see, I heard that thing is scary! I don't dare offend those people." Sun Renyi said thoughtfully.
"Those people can't distinguish between good and bad, right? Let's go... to get tested. How could they use Gu to trick us?" Xie Tianyun said.
"That's hard to say. I heard that some of their tribes are quite xenophobic and would let themselves in uninvited." Wang Tianxiang said worriedly.
"It's not that weird. I know several Miao people who are just like us. Only in certain festivals do they wear national costumes. In other cases, their customs are just different." The driver shook his head in disapproval.
"Maybe there is someone dishonest!" Zhou Kai waved his fist.
"Of course, there are good people and bad people everywhere, that's for sure." The driver shook his head again.
"Well... indeed." Sun Renyi nodded.
"Gu, that thing is something only a very small number of people know how to do, not necessarily a few in several villages. Besides, you are members of the public, you are going to test something without harming their interests, so what is there to worry about? ?" the driver waved his hand and said.
"Yeah, what does it have to do with us!" Sun Renyi quickly explained.
The old van ran like this for seven or eight hours and stopped in front of a beautiful valley.
"The other side of the valley is where you want to go. The road ahead is difficult, so I can only take you here." The driver said responsibly.
Several people got out of the car and looked at the valley ahead.
"Brother, how far do we still need to go?" Sun Renyi asked.
"We still have about an hour to go!" the driver said.
Sun Renyi gave him the money, and the other party didn't count it. He happily hummed a tune and drove away.
Everyone looked at the valley in front of them, then looked at the jungle in the distance, looked at each other, and then started to move forward.
It seems that few people pass by here, and there are no traces left by humans at all.
The narrow dirt road ends at the mountain pass, so you can only walk. The road is full of potholes, weeds and rocks.
"The air here is so good!" Wang Tianxiang took a deep breath.
"Isn't that right? There is no industry, no pollution, it's all trees. It's nothing like our north, which is all gray and dirty. Look at this place!" Sun Renyi walked at the front and sighed.
"Blind Sun, where is my mobile phone? What time is it?" Zhou Kai suddenly remembered.
"I threw it away." Sun Renyi said lightly.
"What the hell? Throw it away? Why?" Zhou Kai's eyes widened, and the others also looked at him in surprise.
"Mr. Sun... my mobile phone costs more than 2,000 yuan. Although we have a lot of money now, we can't afford to build it like this!" Wang Tianxiang said with a sad face.
"Blind Sun, your Grandpa Zhou's is more than 4,000 yuan! Although it is a foreign-made fruit phone, you can't say that I worship foreigners because of this, right? You can't just throw it away! If you say something, I will replace it with a domestic one. Damn it!" Zhou Kai pointed at Sun Renyi and cursed.
"I...I have used my more than two thousand for several years, but..." Xie Tianyun was also distressed.
"Mr. Sun, you must have a reason, right?" Yu Xiaolong asked.
"What's the fuss about? Remember the old man collecting rags before we left? He was a spy from the Gongsun family and told us to run away. He specifically told us to turn off our cell phones and throw them away! Do you understand?" Sun Renyi looked back. Watch them.
"What? That old man is a spy? So the Gongsun family helped us? Why did you throw away the phone?" Yu Xiaolong asked in confusion.
"That's right, thanks to the timely reminder from the Gongsun family, otherwise we wouldn't know what would have happened if we were still there! Don't you know that mobile phones can locate locations? Although I am backward in thinking and not as good as you young people, this knowledge is still Yes, okay!" Sun Renyi put his hands behind his back and didn't look back.
"Tch! It's not like that! Can they directly target us like in foreign movies and send missiles over? Or send a bunch of killers?" Zhou Kai was very doubtful.
"Little Fatty, Little Fatty, don't you think about it. The Cui family is so powerful. Isn't it easy to find us? They have insiders in every department! Otherwise, they can be the first family in the province?" Sun Renyi pouted. He said with a serious mouth.
"This... okay, let me believe you for once! But my high-end mobile phone! There are still photos!" Zhou Kai said aggrievedly.
"Okay, fat man, what's a cell phone? I'll buy a better one in the future, life is still important." Wang Tianxiang patted Zhou Kai on the shoulder.
After walking for more than an hour, we finally emerged from the valley, facing an endless forest.
"I don't understand why we have to come to this inhospitable place! Where can we go? I don't believe that no matter how awesome the Cui family is, they can have insiders all over the country!" Zhou Kai panted and sat down on the ground.
"Little Fatty, first of all, tell me to go south. Then, Wang Jiutian and the Black Blood Alliance may be related. Don't forget our original intention of coming here!" Sun Renyi looked into the depths of the forest.
"I'm sorry to bother you all, but you have come to this point just to find my father." Yu Xiaolong said.
"What are you talking about! We are all brothers! We should do it! Uncle Wang is a good man, and I am worried if he can't find him! But... we are on the run." Zhou Kai quickly comforted him.
Everyone entered the forest without saying anything.
There is no road, so the group can only move forward step by step.
Countless unnamed trees were extremely lush, causing great obstacles to progress. Everyone was scarred. Fortunately, they were all practitioners and healed very quickly.
They were harassed by countless mosquitoes, and various venomous snakes often appeared on the ground. Zhou Kai didn't stop cursing along the way.
"Come on, please apply this to block all mosquitoes." Xie Tianyun took out a bottle from his bag.
"You guys, wouldn't you have taken it out earlier? Those things are so annoying!" Zhou Kai grabbed the medicine bottle.
As Sun Renyi walked, he looked back from time to time to observe, and occasionally threw a Taoist talisman.
"Mr. Sun, what are you doing?" Liu Mingqiang couldn't help but ask after looking at it for a long time.
"I blocked our auras to prevent anyone from chasing us here." Sun Renyi threw out another Taoist talisman, and it disappeared in a few seconds.
"What the hell? Are you kidding me? Even the gods can't find us all the way down here and here again! Blind Sun, you are too nervous." Zhou Kai said dismissively.
"Fat man, don't underestimate the enemy!" Liu Mingqiang said.
"You young people must remember, be prepared for everything, anything is possible! Only in this way can you survive in the spiritual world." Sun Renyi looked at these people and said seriously.
"Okay, okay, whatever you say will be whatever you say!" Zhou Kai waved his hand.
The group continued to move forward arduously, with Sun Renyi walking at the front and constantly looking at the compass.
There are all kinds of fruits in the deserted forest. Zhou Kai grabbed a handful and was about to put it in his mouth, but then he put his hand down.
He approached Xie Tianyun and asked, "Brother Yun, see if this is edible? Don't poison me again."
"Well... you can eat this, no problem!" Xie Tianyun took it over and looked at it carefully.
Zhou Kai stuffed the fruit into his mouth, took a few sips, nodded and said, "Okay, okay! It tastes really good!"
Everyone couldn't help but stop when they heard it, picked some, and were all amazed.
Zhou Kai saw a big pile a few meters away and took a few steps to pick it up.
"Be careful, fat man!" Sun Renyi suddenly shouted.
