Central Plains·Wuzhen Waiguan Road
Yun Musheng's heart tightened. He had felt strange before. Although this prison was not large, it did not have the strength of more than 300 people. From this point of view, there really was a large number of people detouring from the mountain on one side. Rush.
"It's past noon. It's already late. If it doesn't happen sooner, Wuzhen will..."
Ma Qingfeng brought in the two fast horses that Qiu Mingming rode when he came. Yun Musheng hugged Qiu Mingming's willow waist and jumped on one of them. Ma Qingfeng put the young girl Lingluo in front of his crotch, and that's it. Like this, four people and two horses galloped towards Wuzhen.
About half an hour later, the entrance to Wuzhen was already in front of the four men and horses. The entrance looked calm, as if the gang of thieves hadn't arrived yet.
Ma Qingfeng sniffed the scent in the air, glanced at the surrounding trees, then glanced at Yun Musheng beside him, and then used the reins to fix the little silk in front of him on the saddle.
Yun Musheng understood it clearly and whispered in Qiu Mingming's ear: "I'll catch it soon."
Then the two men suddenly waved their whips and rode forward at full speed. The sounds of movement in the forest nearby were getting closer and closer. Yun Musheng and Ma Qingfeng both held the hilts of their swords tightly, waiting for the enemy to attack.
The two riders were still galloping forward on the official road, and were about to reach the entrance of Wuzhen. However, no one emerged from the forest on both sides, as if they were waiting on purpose.
Several people dismounted at the gate of Wuzhen. Sure enough, the commotion in the forest started again.
But the strange thing is that there are screams inside, which are hysterical and endless. Yun Musheng felt strange and was about to step forward slightly, but was grabbed by Ma Qingfeng's shoulders.
"Don't go, there's something weird."
He took out the jade chain around his neck from his clothes and showed it to Yun Musheng's eyes. He saw that the jade stone carved in the shape of Maitreya was slightly cracked.
Hearing the strange roar in the forest behind him, Yun Musheng couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Could it be that in addition to the prison guards and bandits staring at him, there are also demons and monsters causing trouble around Wuzhen?
The tall weeds suddenly opened up, and a man wearing a one-eyed patch escaped from the bushes with three or five boys. They were all injured, and their faces looked like they had seen an evil spirit.
Yun Musheng hurriedly rushed forward, and suddenly saw that several people behind Duyan were hooked by something unknown, and were dragged back one after another. The only one left, Duyan, seemed to be unable to escape the clutches.
Seeing this, Yun Musheng hurriedly grabbed the one-eyed collar. This move was not out of compassion for the evil man, but if he didn't leave anyone alive, there would be no way to know the secret of the evil spirits in the bush.
He firmly grabbed Duyan's collar and tried to pull him in his direction. Unexpectedly, several tree vines suddenly emerged from the bushes, some wrapped around Duyan's body, and some whipped at Yun Musheng.
Although Yun Musheng didn't want to reach out, the cane that hit him hurt him. Suddenly, a two-edged revolving knife struck, and the vines binding One Eye were instantly cut off. Ma Qingfeng sheathed the knife and stood behind the One Eye to prevent any more vines from attacking.
Unexpectedly, a long ghost hand suddenly stretched out from the forest, brushed past Ma Qingfeng's ear, and grabbed the back of the one-eyed man. The sharp nails dug into the flesh. Gradually, the whole hand became almost Digged in.
Blood continued to flow from the one-eyed mouth, and no matter how hard Yun Musheng tried, she could no longer pull the person in front of her. The ghost hand dug a certain distance from One Eye's back and stopped, as if it had caught something.
Ma Qingfeng stayed frozen in place, not daring to move at all, for fear that the ghost hand close to his face would suddenly turn around and grab his throat.
He kept mumbling to Yun Musheng: "Let go, quickly, let go quickly."
Yun Musheng still looked unconvinced and refused to let go.
"Let go, it's useless, his spine is caught!"
Only then did Yun Musheng react. He looked down and found that One Eye's belly was slightly bulging, as if it was being held up by the ghost's hands.
Ma Qingfeng moved his feet with difficulty, leaving the ghost hand that was almost clinging to him. When he moved, he felt as if he was carrying a thousand kilograms of weight.
The next second he fell away from the ghost hand and fell to the ground, the ghost hand retracted it in an instant at lightning speed, pulling out a mutilated skeleton from the body with splashing flesh and blood, leaving only the face A layer of skin and flesh swayed in the wind, and then fell to the ground.
The ghostly hand holding the one-eyed body retracted into the forest, the weeds that had been opened closed again, and the forest gradually returned to a dead silence.
The four of them froze in place, only hearing a bit of howling as the cool wind blew by.
Xiao Lingluo's cry broke the peace of the four of them. Qiu Mingming held the child, but her eyes still couldn't focus. Even the back of her neck seemed to be trembling slightly.
The sun was setting, and night was gradually approaching. The men who had previously helped set up an ambush at the eleventh checkpoint also returned one after another. They saw the blood and flesh on the ground and in the forest, and they were lying on the ground in shock. Of the four people, everyone thought they had successfully killed the incoming bandits.
A group of young women and children who had been hiding in Wuzhen also came out to greet them. Everyone had happy smiles on their faces. These strangers actually wiped out the invading bandits before Master Wan came back. , and even killed the three leaders of Zhenlao Pass, which can be said to have completely eradicated a cancer.
But only these three people, plus Xiao Lingluo who was still sobbing in Qiu Mingming's arms, knew how all these bandits died tragically without leaving any one behind.

At night, the four of them sat around in a wing of the inn. In order to thank them for saving Wuzhen, the innkeeper cooked a table of sumptuous dishes and took away two jars of fine wine.
When the shopkeeper and the waiter left, the four people in the room were still silent. Ma Qingfeng raised a jar of wine and drank several large gulps to gain courage. Then he finally broke the silence and said, "I'll leave early tomorrow morning. In all my life, I’ve never seen anything so scary.”
"What do you think that is?" Yun Musheng asked.
"Who knows what the hell it was back then, but it must not have been a human being. Human beings don't have that kind of strength!"
Yun Musheng nodded and then asked: "What Brother Ma said is absolutely true. Where do you plan to go next?"
Ma Qingfeng replied: "Lingluo and I were originally going to Junting, Jinghong Hall and the Marquis' Mansion on this trip. Then we could choose one of them to go in and work as an official with the skills learned from the calamity of the moon. It’s also good for my Lingluo to settle down.”
There was a knock on the door again, and in behind the waiter was shopkeeper Ding from the porcelain shop that morning. His face was red, as if he had drunk some wine, and he was still holding the bottle of crabapple red glaze porcelain bottle in his hand. .
"Heroes, you saved our Wuzhen, I, Old Ding... Hiccup... I specially used this Begonia Red to fill the fruit wine made by my mother-in-law. I came to thank you all. This fruit wine is very fragrant~ Hiccup. "
Shopkeeper Ding said as the drunken body kept swaying. Yun Musheng hurriedly stepped forward and followed the waiter to support shopkeeper Ding and took the crabapple red porcelain bottle, only to find that there was nothing in the bottle.
"Hiccup~ Oops, I'm sorry brothers, I, Old Ding, burp~ drank all the wine in this bottle when it came here. I'll go back and get it right now."
"Hey, shopkeeper Ding, wait a minute." The waiter on the side grabbed the drunken and shaking shopkeeper Ding. "It's getting late, so don't wander around outside. Master Wan said that you must not leave the town after Haishi at night. What if something happens?"
Unexpectedly, shopkeeper Na Ding let go of the waiter's hand and said with some temper: "What can happen? Those bandits were all killed by the heroes. I, Old Ding, can't even walk around the official road tonight." hinder!"
After that, shopkeeper Ding and the waiter pushed and shoved each other out and went out. Seeing that it was getting late, Ma Qingfeng also took Xiao Lingluo back to his private room.
Yun Musheng was about to leave, but Qiu Mingming caught him by the corner of his clothes, and then he hugged a quilt and threw it on the ground. He looked at Yun Musheng with watery eyes, then at the quilt on the ground, and gently He said yes.
Yun Musheng understood it, so he had no choice but to spread the bedding and lie down on the floor. Only then did Qiu Mingming feel relieved and return to the bed.
