In the dead of night, Zhan Yue, who was lying on the bed, did not fall asleep. Instead, he was alert and alert to all the movements outside. Sure enough, the hard work paid off, and a slight door opened.
A strong figure walked past Zhan Yue's window and quickly disappeared into the night.
"Where is Yu Dayou going so late?" Zhan Yue stood up and chased after him, his figure like a ghost.
The moon in this fantasy world is yellowish and bright, and it is completely different from the blood moon in the world of spirits and cannot be looked directly at. Under the moonlit night, Yu Dayou was extremely fast and agile. However, Zhan Yue relied on the world's best lightness skills to follow step by step without being noticed by Na Yu Dayou.
"It's amazing. I didn't expect that he could be so fast with such a tall body. This Yu Dayou is definitely not a simple villager." Zhan Yue became more and more frightened as he chased after him. He felt that Yu Dayou almost discovered him several times, and even Fortunately, there were many trees and boulders along the way. He is the best in Qinggong in the world and he almost lost him, which shows that his strength is extraordinary.
After a long time, Zhan Yue followed Yu Dayou to the back mountain. The back mountain had been deserted for a long time. There were no fields, but a cemetery composed of tombs. The ancestors of Yunmo Village were often buried here.
"Aren't you afraid of meeting ghosts when you come to the cemetery in the middle of the night?" Through the moonlight, Zhan Yue could clearly see what Yu Dayou was doing. He looked around warily, and then took out something from his arms. He walked to a tomb, and there was a secret pavilion under the tombstone. Then he put the things in his arms into it, and then buried the traces with soil and weeds. No abnormality could be seen at all. Leave with peace of mind.
After doing this, he left directly. However, Zhan Yue was not in a hurry to go to the tomb. Sure enough, after a while, Yu Dayou turned back and saw that no one touched the tomb, so he left with peace of mind.
"Sure enough, I'm careful. Fortunately, I'm more cautious. If I rush to get that thing, I'm afraid he will catch me." Zhan Yue smiled slightly, and when it was confirmed that Yu Dayou had really left, Zhan Yue's figure appeared. Before the tombstone, the thing was taken out and then restored to its original appearance. It was a small wooden box. Under the moonlight, Zhan Yue opened it. Inside was a piece of silk cloth. There seemed to be a painting on the silk cloth, like a map. A point was marked on the map. The silk cloth On the side, there are also a few words written - Under the ancient locust tree.
"What is this? A treasure map?" Zhan Yue frowned. The treasure map was very complete. Just follow it and find the locust tree. If there really was a treasure hidden, Yu Dayou would have gone and retrieved it by himself long ago, but if it wasn't a treasure, then what was it?
"Forget it, let's go back first." Zhan Yue knew that he couldn't see why he looked at it like this. He put away the small wooden box and flew towards Yunmo Village with extremely light skills, returning to his room one step ahead of Dayou. middle. Then, he lay down naturally, breathing calmly, as if he was asleep.
Soon after, Yu Dayou came back as expected. He leaned against the window of Zhan Yue's house, listened to the steady breathing coming from inside, and confirmed that he was still in the house. He finally felt relieved. This person should not have followed him, otherwise he would not have come back before him. He was very confident in his Qinggong. He didn't use full speed when he went to the cemetery, but he was faster when he came back. If ordinary people were to follow him, they might have exposed his secret. Unfortunately, Zhan Yue is a thief, and his lightness kung fu is the best in the world.
Nothing happened after that. The rooster's crow woke up the sunrise, and people in the mountains got up early. By the time Zhan Yue came out, many people had already gone to work in the fields.
"Brother Zhan, come here for breakfast." Yu Dayou woke up Zhan Yuelai. Aunt Yu had already prepared millet porridge for breakfast.
After breakfast, Yu Dayou sent Zhan Yue to the entrance of the village and kindly reminded: "Brother Zhan, Yunmo Mountain is not peaceful recently, you should leave early."
Zhan Yue asked: "Brother Yu, I heard that there are bandits here, right?"
Yu Dayou frowned and sighed helplessly: "Yes, I heard that the bandits are becoming more and more cruel. In the past, they only stole money and women, but now they have started to massacre villages."
"Does the government not care?" Zhan Yue asked.
"Government? Humph." Yu Dayou smiled disdainfully, with helplessness in his smile, "The government has too much time to take care of itself. Above the temple, there are rotten trees for officials, and between the palaces, animals eat their salary. Our country of Gale has constant disasters, how can they care about it? We, the people of the mountains and plains, are at risk of life and death, and we don’t even have officials to collect taxes, what do you think?”
"The court can't protect the people and can't collect taxes?" Zhan Yue's heart sank. The world was more chaotic than he imagined. It was so chaotic that local officials didn't care about collecting taxes.
"The bandits are causing trouble, so can't you move away?" Zhan Yue asked again.
"Our ancestors have all lived here, and there are still good fields here for us to survive. If we move away? If we move elsewhere, there will be no bandits and bandits. What's more, there may not be such good fields outside. With these mountain fields and wild fields in the mountains, Fruits, vegetables and wild animals can support our population of more than 200 people, but if we leave... we may not be able to stand on our feet after leaving," Yu Dayou explained.
Zhan Yue nodded, knowing that it would be a fool's errand to persuade the people in this village to move away. Even if they knew that bandits were dangerous, they had no other choice.
"Brother Zhan, let's go. Go north. Don't go to the south. You may encounter bandits there." Yu Dayou said again.
The strong man in front of him was quite enthusiastic and treated him well. Zhan Yue sighed, but it was a pity that he could only use some means to obtain more information. If he asked questions carefully, he would never get the answer.
"Before I leave, I want to ask Brother Yu, what is this?" Zhan Yue took out the silk cloth he got earlier.
When Yu Dayou saw the thing, his expression suddenly changed and he shouted: "What are you doing? Give that thing back to me!" After saying that, he reached out to grab it, but Zhan Yue nimbly dodged it.
"Good skills! Who are you?" At this moment, Yu Dayou finally realized how powerful Zhan Yue was.
"In short, they are not enemies. Does Brother Yu know that bandits will launch an attack on your village soon?" Zhan Yue said again.
"That's none of your business, return the things to me quickly!" Yu Dayou's eyes were red and he was on the verge of going berserk.
"I just came to inform Brother Yu that bandits will come to massacre the village in the near future. Please make plans in advance. As for this thing... I just want to know what it does." Zhan Yue finished speaking and put the box away. Throw it back with the silk cloth.
"You..." Yu Dayou didn't expect that the other party would return it, but he still took out the knife from his waist and killed Zhan Yue. "Knowing this secret, how could I let you leave." However, no matter how high his martial arts skills were, But he didn't encounter Zhan Yue at all, and Zhan Yue just dodged and fled. Yu Dayou knew that he couldn't catch up, so he could only watch Zhan Yue escape.
"Damn it! I regret not listening to my mother!" Yu Dayou gritted his teeth and returned home. Although the map was returned to him, Zhan Yue had probably memorized the information on the map. What's the use of paying him back.
When Yu Dayou returned home, he knelt down directly in front of Aunt Yu.
"Mom, the child is unfilial. The secret that has been guarded for so many years has finally been leaked." Yu Dayou said.
"What's going on?" Aunt Yu helped her son up, also looking confused.
"That's it..." Yu Dayou told Aunt Yu everything.
However, Aunt Yu became more and more confused as she listened, "This Zhan Yue should not be a bandit as you said, nor should he be from the palace. He doesn't even know the secret of the map. You said you revealed the secret." No, after all, he doesn’t know anything, but is it really a coincidence that such a master appears here?”
On the top of the room, Zhan Yue lay on it, going back and forth, eavesdropping on the conversation between mother and son. This was something Yu Dayou didn't expect at all.
"I don't know either, that man's qinggong is extremely high. You said at the beginning that this map would be given to General Yue's people, but we have been waiting for so many years, and General Ye has not sent anyone to come to us. I'm afraid... "
"Hey, this was your father's request before he died. I don't know why General Yue didn't send someone over. Maybe you should have taken the initiative to find him." Aunt Yu said.
"But mother, your legs and feet are not good. If I leave, who will take care of you? That is something our family cannot afford. If you are submerged in history, it is also a destined ending. Compared with this, I prefer to stay with my mother and take care of you." Yu Dayou said.
Aunt Yu touched her son's head. "But this is your father's last wish. I heard that the bandits are going to join the rebel army? Once they leave, there will be no threat to Yunmo Village. Then you can leave here and give your things to Yue General."
Zhan Yue became more and more confused as he listened. Are these things related to your mission?
At this time, a voice shouted: "Oh no, the bandits are coming!"
Zhan Yue frowned, what was supposed to come had come.
