Forgotten City.
Not a city, but a mountain range.
Liu Zheng didn't know much about the mountains in Northeast China in his previous life. But the majesty of this mountain is no different from the mountains in Sichuan.
What made him dumbfounded was.
Before Gu Guan entered the mountain, he also held a superstitious activity to worship the mountain.
After giving up here, he waved his hand and entered the mountain!
Go into the mountains!
Then he quickly ran back to Liu Zheng and said seriously: "Liu Shilang, you must follow closely, this mountain is very evil!"
Liu Zheng looked surprised: "Brother Gu walked through Wangchuan?"
He insisted on his choice and walked into the mountains with a group of jailers. Naturally, others could not defeat him. But this group of jailers had a good impression of Liu Zheng, so they naturally surrounded him. Hearing his words, a younger jailer laughed: "Liu Shilang, our leader has been escorting this prisoner for more than ten years! Where has he not been to this place of exile? Wangchuan, of course. Passed by!”
Liu Zheng was a little moved.
At this time, having an experienced person is really helpful.
Gu Guan also grinned: "There's nothing we can do about it... How can we make money from this!"
The crowd burst into laughter.
Indeed, escorting mortals is the most profitable business for these government officials. Although the journey is long, the income is considerable. Why did these ancient government officials rush to escort mortals? First, the income subsidy is very high, and second, many prisoners' families will pay them bribes so that they can help take care of these prisoners so that they will not starve to death on the road. The third is that as long as they come out to escort prisoners, they are the bosses and do not need to be supervised by any yamen. They are free to drink if they want and go to a brothel if they want. Every time you pass a city, you don't have to spend money yourself. Some of the prisoners' family members give them money for consumption.
This Gu Guan is an expert here.
He smiled honestly: "I did walk through the River of Forgetfulness with Master back then. Although several years have passed, I have never forgotten what Master once said to me."
"What words?"
A group of people were very curious.
Gu Guan looked serious: "Master said that there are three people in Wangchuan who cannot leave!"
"One, we can't walk in fog!"
Everyone nodded, the fog in the mountains was indeed dangerous.
It is easy to get lost, and there may even be some poisonous gas miasmas that can directly kill people.
"Two, some people can't leave!"
Everyone was shocked.
It's really scary to see a person suddenly appear in this deserted mountain and forest. Who knows if it is a human or a ghost, who knows if it is the man-eating savage?
Liu Zheng also nodded.
The experiences summarized by these old people are very valuable.
Gu Guan continued to smile and said: "Third, there is a road that cannot be walked!"
"What?"
Everyone couldn't understand it now.
At this time, they were escorting 100,000 people. They had just entered the mountain and happened to be walking on a main road. Because it’s not very deep yet, the mountains next to it are not particularly complicated. But after hearing what Gu Guan said, everyone's expressions changed.
Gu Guan laughed and said: "It's okay now... these three items can only be discussed after passing the Wangchuan Valley!"
Lethe Valley...
It doesn't sound like a good place.
A group of jailers fell silent.
This is a real 100,000 people.
Because it is still on the road, it can accommodate ten people in a row. But despite this, this team is still very long, and the end can't be seen at a glance. These prisoners refuse to walk on the Road of Forgetfulness, so the challenges they are about to face can be imagined.
In this way, we chatted and walked all the way.
At first, people were nervous.
But this mountain is really too big.
After walking for a long time, the surrounding environment has not changed much.
But Liu Zheng knew in his heart what he was here for this time.
Along the way, he used pen and paper to record various places on the road that could be used as markers, a stone of various shapes, and a strange-looking tree. He recorded all the road signs in the southeast, northwest and northwest very clearly.
finally.
The day's journey passed like this.
There were no near misses on this day.
It was not without any problems on the road, maybe because the mountains were too deep. Occasionally, a few wild beasts would run out, causing panic among the crowd.
Three wild boars caused panic among the prisoners. It took a lot of effort to kill the wild boars, but it also injured dozens of prisoners who had gathered together.
Dusk falls.
One hundred thousand people began to set up camp.
The three killed wild boars were happily boiled into a pot of soup by the jailers.
Gu Guan's experience is quite sophisticated.
Knowing that as the journey progresses, the beast will be the first to threaten people's lives.
So during the day, he sent people to collect the feces that looked very big.
The larger the excrement, the more ferocious the animal that produced it.
Then, spread the feces next to each tent.
really.
At night, the terrifying howling sounds of wolves were heard all around.
Liu Zheng was frightened.
But what he saw when he got up was Pei Qianyun's back.
"Don't be alarmed, sir. They don't dare to come over. They have been barking for a long time!"
Pei Qianyun laughed loudly. He lit a fire at the entrance of the camp one night. Specially guarding Liu Zheng's safety.
Liu Zheng got dressed and stood up: "You also have to rest for a while. How can you bear this?"
Pei Qianyun glared and said, "Young master, you must not do this. You are a rich man. Qianyun is so energetic that he can go without sleep for seven days!"
Liu Zheng pretended to be angry and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? The deeper you go, the more dangerous it becomes. If my life is really in danger, I have to rely on you to protect me. How can I not rest? Go to sleep!"
Pei Qianyun was yelled at by Liu Zheng and muttered aggrievedly, but he did not dare to refute. He dropped the fire stick in his hand and returned to the camp obediently. But lying on the quilt, he still couldn't fall asleep, and secretly looked at Liu Zheng sitting by the fire.
Liu Zheng was moved and dumbfounded.
Pei Qianyun is completely like a younger brother to him now.
The two of them were inseparable every day. Liu Zheng still loved this idiot with natural supernatural powers from the bottom of his heart.
Sitting next to the fire, Liu Zheng looked at the surrounding environment thoughtfully.
Fortunately, the weather was good today and the sky was filled with stars. Liu Zheng raised his head and easily found the Big Dipper in the sky.
night.
It seems so quiet that your heartbeat slows down a lot.
Behind him, Pei Qianyun's snoring sounded.
Liu Zheng smiled slightly.
at this time.
Suddenly Liu Zheng's expression changed slightly.
Why did the wolf howl disappear?
He looked around.
Except for a few fires in the camp, everything was dark.
Sudden.
There was a chirping sound in the woods.
Liu Zheng's eyes lit up.
