Traveling two hundred miles north, Changsheng and others left the official road and changed their route to the northeast. The direction of Buxian Mountain is from northeast to southwest, and the end of the vein is located in the northeast of Shenzhou.
At first you could still see villages and homes, but later the road became narrower and narrower, and there were fewer and fewer homes along the way.
In the evening, everyone entered the Buxian Mountains, deep in the mountains and dense forests, completely deserted.
At this time, Nissan Chiba's silk map came into play. It clearly marked the path to the area where the ugly cow was. There were no roads in the deep mountains, but there were no roads in the mountains and other places. The woods are very different. The trees are extremely tall. Since they are all big trees with a thickness of several arms, the distance between the trees is very large. The huge crown also blocks the sunlight and lacks sunlight. The small trees in the forest are It is difficult for trees and thorns to grow, so everyone can drive their horses and walk calmly under the tree.
The sun set shortly after entering the mountain, and it was pitch dark under the forest. Fortunately, everyone had night vision, so they could still ride horses quickly under the forest.
It is now spring, and the temperature in the Central Plains has begun to rise, but the temperature in the Northeast is still very low, and there is even snow that has not melted in some shaded places.
When passing through a snow-covered depression, Yu Yi reined in his horse and inspected the hoof prints left on the snow. "There were eight horses when we entered the mountain. One of them left and came back. It must be the female Japanese pirate who pretended to be me." "
Changsheng nodded. Although the masters of purple energy could fly across the sky, horses still needed to be used as foot power for long-distance attacks. If Yu Yi checked correctly, there should be seven Japanese pirates waiting from the mountains at this time.
After checking the horse's hoof prints, everyone set off on the road again. Although the hibernation had passed, the temperature here was very low, and most of the hibernating snakes and insects had not yet come out of their holes. Therefore, there were no chirping insects in the forest, only the occasional sound. A few wild beast roars.
The Dragon Vein Continuation Map was drawn in the pre-Qin Dynasty and includes the locations of all the earthly branches. Because it covers a large area, the map is not very accurate. However, Nissan Chiba's map only records the path into the mountain, which is single and specific. Accurately, everyone on our team climbed over the mountains according to the path recorded on the map, and went deep into the hinterland of Bulhan Mountain at the second watch. It was roughly estimated that at this time, it was less than a hundred miles away from the red dot marked on the silk map.
As the destination approached, everyone began to slow down, and the occasional conversations between each other were kept in low tones. Worried that the Japanese pirates would see her if she flew high, Da Tou instructed Miss Bai to fly low to the forest.
After another fifty miles, Changsheng and others stopped. At this time, everyone was on the east side of the southern mountain peak. From here, they could see the faint flash of fire on the mountainside of the northern mountain.
As the saying goes, the two adjacent peaks seem to be very close, but in fact they are far apart from each other. In addition, there are trees covering the area. Everyone on our side can only vaguely see the faint fire on the mountainside of the northern peak. But he couldn't see clearly the specific situation there, and naturally he couldn't determine the specific number of people.
Seeing Chang Sheng staring at the fire in the distance without saying a word for a long time, Da Tou asked casually, "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong?"
Hearing Big Hair's question, Changsheng came back to his senses, "I once encountered the Unitary Chicken, one of the twelve earthly branches, in the desert of the Western Regions. The Unitary Chicken is not flesh and blood, and has no spiritual energy, but the Unitary Chicken has golden energy. It can control the surrounding metal things with its own metal breath."
Da Tou knew that Chang Sheng had not finished speaking yet, so he looked up and waited for him to continue speaking.
Changsheng continued, "Since Youji has no spiritual energy cultivation, it is not appropriate to use the spiritual energy level to describe its ability. If you have to use the spiritual energy level to describe it, Youji's spiritual energy cultivation must be higher than Taixuan. And they can move freely within certain limits.”
Changsheng paused for a moment before speaking again, "The unitary chicken can control the metal things around it, and the ugly cow naturally has the ability to control the surrounding things. Moreover, the five elements of the ugly cow belong to earth, and the five elements are based on earth. She Its ability should be stronger than that of Youji, and these Japanese pirates are definitely no match for it in a head-to-head confrontation. What I’m wondering at this time is how dare these Japanese pirates start a fire under its nose?”
Hearing Changsheng's words, no one answered immediately. After a moment of silence, Datou spoke first, "Is it possible that their location has exceeded Chou Niu's sphere of influence?"
Changsheng shook his head. According to the Dragon Vein Continuation Map and the Silk Map, Chou Niu should be fifty miles ahead. The location where the fire appeared must not be beyond the area Chou Niu can control. To put it bluntly, this group of people Now we are on the territory of the ugly cow.
"Could it be that the Earthly Branches don't know why the Japanese pirates came?" Yu Yi guessed.
Chang Sheng thought for a while, nodded and said, "It is possible that the five elements belong to different people and their temperaments are also different. The unitary chicken I met before was not angry but powerful, cold-blooded and easy to kill. This is the common characteristic of people with five elements belonging to metal. , and Chou Niu’s five elements return to earth. People who belong to the five elements of earth are honest, honest, stable and peaceful. They are not sure about the intentions of the Japanese pirates. Chou Niu may indeed choose to wait and see what happens.”
"What to do now?" Big Head asked.
"Go over and have a look." Changsheng shook his reins and urged his horse.
Changsheng went first, and everyone followed. This time Datou did not drive Miss Bai again, but rode with Shi Xuanming.
There were trees covering the area, so no one had to worry about being exposed in advance. The soil under the forest was soft, so the sound of hooves was not loud when the horses were running.
At the foot of the northern peak, everyone dismounted and walked up the mountain.
Not long after walking, a large area of abandoned city walls appeared in front of them. This city wall had been abandoned for many years and had seriously collapsed.
Changsheng was not surprised when he saw the abandoned city wall, because Sasaki had previously said that the ugly cow lived in an ancient city in Buhan Mountain, and was worshiped as an immortal goddess by the people here.
The further you go up, the more various relics of the ancient city become. Although it has lost its former glory, it is not difficult to find from the various remaining relics that this ancient city built on the mountain was very majestic back then.
At this time, everyone on our side was less than five miles away from the fire on the mountainside. Chang Sheng said in a low voice while walking up, "At this time, the Japanese pirates here are waiting for the arrival of Ikeda and others. Let's make a plan and get as close as possible. Don't rush to take action. When will I Draw your sword, when will you attack?"
After Chang Sheng said this, all four people nodded.
As the distance shortened, Chang Sheng could vaguely see that the place where the fire appeared was a flat area on the mountainside, which should have been a square in the ancient city.
When Changsheng was ascending, he whispered to Yu Yi and taught her a sentence in Japanese. At this time, the Japanese pirates already knew that he could speak Japanese. If he spoke by himself, he was afraid that the other party would become suspicious. If Yu Yi took the initiative to greet them, he could completely dispel the other party's suspicion. suspicion.
There are masters of purple energy among the Japanese pirates, so it is impossible for everyone on our side to approach quietly. Instead of waiting until the Japanese pirates hear the strange noise and ask questions, it is better for our side to take the initiative to speak, which will appear calm.
When he was a hundred feet away from the bonfire, Changsheng nodded to Yu. The latter understood and said loudly in Japanese, which roughly meant, 'We are here. '
As soon as I heard Yu Yi's voice, someone beside the campfire said, "Thank you for your hard work." '
There was more than one person talking around the campfire, and several others were talking to Mitsubishi Mori, which roughly meant, 'Master, General Ikeda has arrived. '
"Hurry up." Chang Sheng pretended to urge him in Japanese.
After Changsheng finished speaking, he changed from walking to running, with Datou and others following closely behind.
Changsheng ran at the front. When he came to the flat area, he looked around eagerly. No more, no less, they were seven people.
Seeing Changsheng and others arriving, Mitsubishi Mori and others immediately left the fire and came forward.
Just when the two sides were close at hand, Changsheng's nose trembled slightly, and he lowered his hand and drew his sword...
