Gradually the sun sets in the west, darkness slowly covers the earth, and the Jade Rabbit rises in the east. This is the favorite moment of the evil spirit, and it is also the moment when the mountain beasts and monsters breathe in the moonlight.
In the Yue family's residence. After the Yue family had a meal, Grandpa asked the housekeeper to set up tables and chairs in the center of the yard to wait for the five families to come.
"Dad, they should choose the time at midnight, otherwise it will be inconvenient for those ghosts to show up." Father sat on the right side of Grandpa, holding a teacup, one to drink tea, and the other to warm his hands. After all, in this atmosphere, holding the cup A hand warmer is so disrespectful, except of course my grandpa.
"No, they will arrive at midnight." Grandpa is wearing this fox fur glove. There is a bronze hand warmer in the gauntlet. This fox glove was specially found by grandpa. As for why Woolen cloth? Without further explanation, if I ask, if there is something at home, my grandfather will never say that it is for revenge against the Hu family and to deliberately make the Hu family angry.
"What about asking the housekeeper to get ready?" Father put down the tea cup and looked at grandpa and asked.
"There is nothing worth preparing now. Everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared. How can you sit still and have nails under your butt?" Grandpa looked at his father's unsettled look, folded his hands and frowned and reprimanded.
"Isn't this unreliable?" My father frowned. It wasn't that I resented what my grandfather said. It was just that when people couldn't fully control things, they would always feel strangely agitated. Especially my father was a person with a strong desire for control.
"Be steady. Your face will not change even if Mount Tai collapses. A gentleman is not important, and his authority is far away. You still don't read enough. Sit down and be quiet." Grandpa folded his hands and closed his eyes, but his ears moved. It was obvious that he had abandoned his vision and started to listen to the wind.
Many times at night, the ears are more real and accurate than the eyes. The children of the Yue family all have extraordinary five senses. After a long period of training, at night when there is wind, the ears can hear and distinguish clearly, within fifty meters. The wind blows.
(The eldest son and grandson of the family, the future heir to the head of the family, has been taking medicinal baths and conditioning with traditional Chinese medicine since he was six years old. His five senses have been greatly strengthened, and he is also equipped with methods to train the five senses, just to better find Feng Shui. Array eye, sensing magnetic field position.)
At the west mountain pass of Langxiang, it is even more eerie and quiet than during the day. You could still see the shadowy figures, but now there is no trace. The cold moonlight of the bright moon in the dark night shines here, making you look like a beast. The west mountain pass is even more mysterious.
"Drive..." In the silent night, the sound of rolling horse hooves was continuously amplified, like thunder. A group of people kept riding forward. There were no less than a hundred people in the crowd. Behind this group of people, There was also a long line of people and horses flashing with fire.
On the west mountain pass of Langxiang, on the leeward side, there seemed to be people vaguely behind some hay and big rocks, and there seemed to be people lying on many trees.
"Master Huo, you said we can't wait here all night in vain. It's too uncomfortable in this cold and cold weather." A little boy was leaning on the lee side of a tree. To his right was Master Huo, and to Master Huo's right was Master Huo. Another little guy, and two little guys sandwiched Mr. Huo in the middle, which can protect Mr. Huo from the wind. The three of them are under a tree, and it is relatively warm. After all, the temperature is really low at night at this time. , I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t cold. If I didn’t take a few sips, I really couldn’t stand it.
"Can't you wait?" Master Huo rolled his eyes at the young man and said angrily. Everyone knew that it would be cold outside that day. When his eldest brother Chilong gave him this errand, he said that this trip was It's hard work, but it's also a good job. As long as you do it well, catch the eye of the master, and get a reward, then you will be the boss in the future, and your eldest brother can smoothly pass on the position of leader to the boss. In my hometown, this position is the one above who didn't nod, so it has been passed down for a long time. If I do it well this time, I won't be the master who can control it.
"You don't dare." The little guy shrank his neck and shook his head like a rattle. He didn't have the guts to disobey orders.
"He just talks a lot, and it's useless to talk about it. If you have the time, it's better to take a break and save some heat." A kid on the other side raised his hat with his hand, exposed one eye, and looked at the kid Just a glance.
There is a difference between underlings and minions. Some minions rely on and flatter the boss to become his followers. They just want to coax the eldest brother. As long as the eldest brother still likes him, then he has status. Some people who have great skills in their hands become the followers of the elder brother by beating them. Such minions are quite cool and look down on those who rely on flattery to get to the top. The elder brother likes them for being able to fight, but also I hate their bad temper.
"Master Huo, here we come, here we come..." A young man hurried over. This was the sentry on duty at Xishan Pass. His reporting meant that the real owner had arrived.
"How many people are there?" Mr. Huo opened his eyes, looked at the young man who came to report, and asked after he stood firm.
"Master, there are more than a hundred cavalry in the front, and there will be four to five hundred people behind." I thought for a while, made a rough estimate, and then reported to Master Huo.
"Did you hear that? Tell all the brothers to stop moving and don't lose sight of yourself." Mr. Huo leaned against the tree and just lay in the nest of the tree without moving. He turned his head and ordered his subordinates.
"Yes, Lord Huo." When the boy who delivered the order heard Lord Huo's instructions, he immediately notified the brothers in each team.
"Go and inform Master Jin that the real master has arrived." Master Huo ordered to the flattering little man beside him.
"Okay, I'll go and come back quickly. You can stay out of the wind." The little guy said with a flattering smile, and stood up to inform Master Jin.
Such a scene also happened at Diao Ye's place. The difference was that Diao Ye was around, but there were no flatterers, because anyone who dared to flatter in front of Diao Ye would die. Diao Ye was extremely disgusted with flatterers, and he himself was able to defeat capable people. Fight hard.
At the highest point of Beishan Mountain in Langxiang, under a big rock, Jin Ye and his younger brother Jin Er sat opposite each other. On the ground were a jar of wine and a cowhide bag containing soy sauce, dog legs, and a roasted pork belly. chicken.
"Rustling..." There was a sound of very light footsteps. This sound sounded like someone who was a long-distance mountain runner, who was very proficient in walking in the mountains and forests.
"Who?" Jin Er stood up, hunched over, holding a pistol in his hand, and shouted softly in the direction of the sound.
"Master Jin, the real master of Xishan Pass is here, about four to five hundred people." Master Huo's minions ran to the Jin brothers to report.
"Shasha..." There was another sound of footsteps, and a figure was faintly seen running over.
"Master Jin, people are here. There are five to six hundred people." A young man ran over. This was Master Diao's people.
These two groups of people came to report the situation at Xishan Pass. There was not much difference in numbers. No one could count them one by one at night. It was normal for there to be differences in numbers.
"Okay, the rightful owner has finally arrived." Jin Ye nodded, stood up, and took a closer look at the West Pass with a telescope.
