The search sergeants of the Chu army came to the foot of the east mountain peak and divided into three teams. There were more than ten people on each of the two mountain paths on the left and right. The rest began to climb the mountain in a wide fan shape.
Wu Sheng observed them briefly for a while and judged that at least five of them were Qi Refiners, probably Chariot Cultivators. Such a force seems a bit weak to search a high mountain, but you can figure it out with your toes. These people are all eyes and ears, and must be masters of real action, such as the Chu monks who are currently in the main peak cave.
A problem that worried Wu Sheng arose. These guys were tending to search for his secret cave!
Turning around and looking towards the main peak, I happened to see two people walking out of the cave at the top, looking around.
Wu Sheng's heart suddenly hid, and he hid immediately, not daring to look again, and slipped down under the cover of woods and shrubs.
It is not a good place to stay any longer. Although half of the remaining tanks have not been obtained, life is at stake after all.
Wu Sheng made up his mind and returned to the secret cave at a high speed. He packed a roll and carried it on his back. After coming out, he took the untraveled wild road and fled towards the Dongshan Pass.
When approaching the east mountain pass, he did not jump out directly. Instead, he climbed up the ridge next to him and looked down from above. His experience and caution saved his life again. Dozens of Chu troops were stationed outside Dongshan Pass, blocking the road tightly. From the looks of it, they should have set up camp here long ago.
Since there is a Chu army here, there must be some at other mountain passes. There is no way around it, so we still have to find a way to escape from here. Although the Chu army blocked the mountain pass, their control area was not large. Wu Sheng walked south along the mountain ridge, where there was a high cliff standing thousands of feet tall.
Wu Sheng a few days ago would probably not have dared to go down from here, but now he is equivalent to a Qi practitioner who has entered the spiritual practice. Although his true energy cannot be released, he is light and healthy and has amazing endurance. He can climb up. If you can't do it, you can still fall down with a rope.
In fact, I am afraid that only masters who have entered the realm of refining gods can go down on their own without external help.
It's just that the cliff is wide and it is easy to be discovered by the Chu army at the mountain pass during the day. They have to wait until night and use the waiting time to make the rope.
The cliff is too high, so the rope must be long enough. Ordinary bark will definitely not work. It is best to use strong vines. Wu Sheng searched along the mountain ridge and finally saw a dense vine.
Just as he walked over, a man suddenly emerged from the vines. He was in ragged clothes and had a crooked bun. He bumped into Wu Sheng head-on. The two of them stared at each other and froze in place.
Wu Sheng's eyelids twitched, he took out the thunder hammer and slowly handed it over: "I've met Brother Ban."
The corner of the other party's mouth twitched, and he raised his sword upside down: "Mr. Wu..."
This person is none other than Monk Shuang Cha. When he heard that Wu Sheng was going to be the Sikou, he rushed over to give him gifts. But when he heard that Wu Sheng couldn't become the Sikou, he turned his back on him and refused to recognize him. Putting aside his behavior towards Wu Sheng, his cultivation level is at the peak of Qi refining. It stands to reason that he can be considered a strong player among the remaining monks in Hufang. However, he has never been removed from his position. Regarding this, Wu Sheng Also very puzzled.
The two of them were silent for a moment, and said at the same time: "Brother class..."
"Mr. Wu..."
"Speaking--"
"Speaking--"
Shuttle Bus spoke first: "Mr. Wu...it's been a whole winter, why are you still here?"
Wu Sheng said: "At that time, my cultivation level had not recovered, so it was difficult to leave."
Everyone on the bus glanced at Wu Sheng and asked, "Congratulations to Mr. Wu then?"
Wu Sheng smiled: "Although he is still not sharp, he has recovered more than half. Why is Brother Ban here?"
The bus replied: "Young Master Zhui is in the hands of the Chu army. Someone has been trying to rescue him, but unfortunately there is no chance."
"Young Master is still in the mountains?"
"Yes, we will keep him in the main peak cave."
"Why don't you send it to Yingdu?"
"Who knows?"
After chatting for a few words and confirming that the other party had not surrendered to the enemy, the two gradually relaxed. Shuang Che cursed: "I don't know what illness the Chu army had. They suddenly searched the mountains on a large scale. I had no choice but to take the risk and break out."
Wu Sheng coughed dryly: "Brother Ban, do you have any clever ideas for getting down the mountain?"
Ban Lane: "Can you come up with any good strategies? It's just a matter of making a rope and falling off a cliff."
This time Wu Sheng smiled, and it turned out that the hero had the same idea: "Then together?"
"Okay!" Shuttle nodded cheerfully.
Dense vines are entangled among the rocks and big trees, and there are several kinds of them that can be used to make ropes, and they are all very tough. A shuttle bus has been made, which is several feet long. He is looking for a longer one inside, ready to connect to the previous one. Now that Wu Sheng has arrived, the progress has been accelerated.
While making the rope, Wu Sheng asked: "Brother Ban, are you staying in Leigong Mountain this winter?"
Shuttle broke a vine into several bundles from top to bottom, rotated and tightened it again: "There is nowhere to go, otherwise it will be difficult to enter the mountain again. Where is Mr. Wu hiding?"
Wu Sheng cut off the thorns on the vines: "In the woods between the South Peak and the West Peak, when the Chu army was searching the mountain, they hid everywhere. They were very embarrassed at first, but they got better in the next two months. It was just that it was cold and they had to eat. It’s hard to find. Where is Brother Ban? Besides you, is there anyone else left in the mountain?"
Shuang Cha shook his head: "Leigong Mountain is not big. Who can survive under the eyes of the Chu Army until now, except Mr. Wu and a certain person, who else has this ability..."
Before they finished speaking, the two of them bent down at the same time and looked to the left. There was a rustling sound, and a man suddenly came in from outside. His body was covered with dust and he looked miserable.
Shuang Cha was already in a sword stance, but when he saw this, he let go of his hand, took two steps forward and shouted: "Mo Che Zheng? Are you still alive?"
A chazheng is the commander of a chariot, a halberdier on the chariot, and a team sergeant who accompanies the chariot. They are usually people with good cultivation. Wu Sheng has never seen this chazheng, but apparently The other party was also a remnant who luckily survived the Chu army's encirclement and suppression.
Mo Chezheng held the bus's hand and said tremblingly: "Is there anything to eat? Something to eat..."
The driver hurriedly took out a piece of dried meat from his arms, and Mo Che took it and tore it into pieces, filling his mouth with it.
Mo Che was eating the dried meat to regain some strength, and then he noticed Wu Sheng. Wu Sheng didn't know him, but he knew Wu Sheng: "Mr. Wu is here, lucky, lucky."
When asked about the current situation, Mo Chezheng also hid in Tibet for a winter in the east of Shandong Province, but he was different from Shuangba. Shuangba was waiting for an opportunity to rescue Young Master Zhui, but he had no hope for it. He wanted to escape, but suffered from various difficulties. Chu troops were stationed at every mountain pass and could not escape.
Mo Chezheng was yelling: "I don't know which bastard stabbed a basket and stole the Chu army's camp, which prompted the Chu army to search the mountain... Is this false? I heard it from the Chu army on the way. ...If I see him, I will shave his skin! He will not let anyone live..."
Wu Sheng changed the topic: "Everything has its pros and cons. Although it alarmed the Chu army to search the mountain, it brought the three of us together again. The so-called unity is strength. As the only remaining survivors... ."
Before he finished speaking, another rustling voice came in, and several people outside were chattering: "Come on, the vines here are all high-quality..."
"Not bad, not bad, enough to make a good rope..."
"Come on, Lao Liu, hurry up, the Chu army will have to go up the mountain if you don't know..."
"Shhh - keep your voice down, there are only a few of us left in the entire Leigong Mountain, we are Hu Fang's last hope..."
