During this time, everyone's previous negativity had completely subsided, leaving only excitement and hatred towards Lai Qian and others.
They believed in Liao Cheng the most and respected Jiang Pan a lot.
But everyone is still vaguely afraid of me.
I motioned for everyone to bring all the food they had distributed with them.
Although the horses were taken away and most of the large water bladders containing water were emptied, everyone still had their own small water bladders, so they could hold on for at least part of the way.
This time it was Liao Cheng who led the way.
We don't have horses, which is actually a lot more convenient and makes traveling much faster.
But before we went far, we saw some horse corpses abandoned on the road...
Everyone looked extremely gloomy.
Tang Ding followed me and whispered: "Almost everyone is dead, only the two big horses are left..."
"Actually, two big horses are enough to carry things. They don't use ordinary horses, and they won't let us use them." No one said much. Everyone naturally understood the meaning of Tang Ding's words.
It took us about half a day to get back to the previous fork in the road.
There are some signs of camping on the ground.
There are two forked roads on the left and right, one of which looks very flat and wide, while the other is narrow and cramped.
There were still signs of people passing by on that wide road.
Liao Cheng paused for a moment and then walked directly towards the narrow road.
Among the people behind, someone suddenly said uneasily: "Mr. Liao, they should have walked this road..."
Liao Cheng did not stop, nor did he look back. He just said lightly: "It's just a blindfold. Lai Qian and the others also know that we won't all leave. Some of us will definitely follow."
"If you look at the width of the road and there are still traces, it means you haven't seen the parchment, or you can't understand it."
"Whoever takes that road may not be able to come out alive." Liao Cheng's words immediately silenced people.
He led the way and let us into the narrow road.
This narrow road is the gap between two mountains. It is at most two meters wide and will be very narrow for three people walking on it.
It was afternoon and the sun was shining brightly, but it was unable to penetrate the mountain and enter the narrow road.
Looking up, there are slopes on both sides, and looking up are two faces carved into the rock.
Someone was shouting in surprise: "Look! The face appears again! Sure enough, this is the right road! On the mountains around the three-way road last night, there was no face anywhere?!"
Someone else whispered: "I see that Xu Shuang has been playing tricks along the way. We have seen his face at some points, but sometimes and sometimes not at the back. He deliberately led us astray? Maybe, it's Those two old bastards Lai Qian or Bizong made a mistake."
Everyone's tone along the way was indignant, but it was not so dull.
During the walk, I simply did not avoid suspicion and took out the original parchment.
After I watched it for a while, Liao Cheng's hand suddenly pointed at one of the locations.
The place he pointed to happened to be the narrow path we were walking on.
If you follow this route, you will reach the tomb within three hills.
It is said to be a tomb, but in fact, there is no path in that section and it is completely blurry.
It is very likely that there is a new way out, and perhaps you need to find it by spending money and setting acupoints.
While I was thinking about it, Liao Chengze said: "They should have to go around here for a long time." Liao Cheng pointed to the second mountain, and I immediately understood that that was where he did his tricks.
Our group hurried on without stopping or relaxing.
By the time it got dark, we had walked through the remaining three mountains, a third of the way.
That is to say, we came to the front of the second mountain.
The mountains here are no longer as bare as before. There are a lot of vegetation growing on the mountains, but the color is dull.
Liao Cheng told everyone that there is water here.
And he took out Mr. Lingzheng's magic weapon, the transparent bottle containing the goldfish. After calling a few helpers, we went to look for water.
We stopped and camped here.
Lai Qian and the others were on their way in the middle of the night before us, and I'm afraid they have already walked two-thirds of the way. Of course, there is still a possibility that they haven't left this second mountain...
After all, Liao Cheng moved his hands and feet.
Tang Ding led his servants to make a bonfire and a tent.
The paper man bent his waist and climbed up the sloping hillside, and he actually hung the green corpse out of the paper!
Under the bleak night sky, the green corpses were hung with paper ties on the dark old trees. The wind blew, but the paper ties could not move, which made them particularly eye-catching.
Especially the reflection of the moonlight made the paper tie glow with a faint turquoise light, adding a bit of violence.
During this period, Liao Cheng came back with the few people just now.
They really filled their water bags and distributed them to everyone.
We gathered around the campfire and baked pancakes to satisfy our hunger.
The paper man Xu had arranged all the paper bundles. He came back to us and said quietly: "I was a little more restrained before. If along the way, I would keep vigil with paper bundles every night. Even if I didn't look at them, they would I have some ability. I won’t let those people..."
Before the paper man Xu finished speaking, Liao Cheng gave him a piece of dough and said with a smile: "Old man, if you use paper ties to guard them, I'm afraid they will come up with some tricks and break your paper ties at night and damage them. Your strength."
"After all, he is still Mr. Yin Yang, and he has his own uniqueness."
"Now that they are gone, it may not be such a bad thing."
"The Good Corpse Pill is hard to distinguish, and there is only one Suspicious Dragon Book." Liao Cheng's words immediately made the paper man Xu's eyes freeze.
The paper man promised not to say anything more, and in the end he only said one sentence: From now on, he will keep vigil.
The night is getting darker.
We each went back to our tents to rest.
No problems overnight.
Early the next morning, we broke camp and started on our way.
Along the way, we found many traces, but they were very messy.
Moreover, in this second mountain, there are many old trees and denser shrubs. It is not a bare mountain at all.
It was almost noon when we walked out of the mountain pass.
Further back, you can see a huge mountain.
That mountain is one-third higher than the normal Black Mountain.
And there is no longer a human face on the top of the mountain, as if the top of the mountain has been carved into a human body, but the body has no head...
"It seems that if you pass through that mountain, you can see where the tomb is." Liao Cheng murmured in a low voice.
At this moment, the two thin Taoist priests suddenly murmured at the same time: "It smells of blood." The next moment, the two of them walked quickly down the rocky hillside on the side.
There is indeed a road at the exit of this mountain that leads to the last mountain ahead.
On the right side of the road is a hillside, about twenty or thirty meters high. At the bottom is a pool, deep and bottomless.
Dongyang and Shangqing Taoist priests were walking fast on that hillside.
We looked down almost simultaneously.
At a glance, I saw a mangled corpse at the junction of the bottom of the hillside and the pool. Blood stained a lot of rocks, and some even flowed into the pool...
Lai Qian and his group of five gentlemen, plus Xu Shuang...
Who died? !
