Holy Bone

Chapter 157

Although Commander Xu is the guard in the inner courtyard of the Xue Mansion.

It is the matter of Li Huwei in He Fu.

Jin An couldn't fully digest it in a short time.

It always feels like magic.

But fortunately, in the past few months, Jin An hadn't seen any battles, so it wasn't hard for him to accept.

"Li Huwei, tell me honestly, what is your real name?"

"plum?"

"May?"

"Which one is your real real name?"

Faced with Jin'an's question, Guard Li slapped his chest loudly, saying whether he would change his name or surname, of course his surname was Li.Jin An immediately laughed, I believed you, and said, "Why don't you call Li the righteous Li, the natural Li?"

Jin An's words were originally expressed in reverse, meaning that you Li Huwei can even change your appearance, isn't it natural to change your name and surname?
I don't know.

Li Huwei didn't know if he really didn't realize that Jin An's kitchen god was pasted with door gods—there was a picture inside the painting. After listening to Jin An's words, Li Huwei's eyes lit up and his face burst into a smile.

"it is good!."

"Be confident, of course, this is good."

"Since ancient times, so many heroic youths and geniuses have lost in the end. When people reach middle age, they can't be straight, angry, and strong. From now on, I will call Li Suoof course. Li Zhi is strong and strong."

Looking at Li Huwei with such a thick skin, several black lines hung down Jin An's forehead.

"If a mule doesn't come down, it can be said to be justified, right?"

The old Taoist laughed out loud at Jin An's allegory, and gave Jin An a thumbs up, saying that the magic height is one foot and the road is ten feet taller, and you are still a little brother, you are awesome, one set after another.

Next, under the leadership of Guard Li, Jin An and the old Taoist met the witness that Guard Li had specially found in the lower courtyard of the Xue Mansion.

They began to interrogate these people overnight, looking for any possible clues about the headless village.

These people are all servants of the Xue family who followed Xue Xiong to hunt in the mountains a year ago.

Xue Xiong, as the young master of the Xue family, usually takes a month or two to go hunting in the mountains.

As for the lighting of the fire, the cooking of the meals, and the laundry during the past two months, naturally it will not be the turn of the majestic young master of the Xue family to do it himself.

Therefore, a year ago, when the young master of the Xue family went hunting in the mountains, he brought a large number of servants of ordinary people and several people from the Xue family's medical center along with him, in addition to the few mentors who taught him martial arts and the martial arts masters raised by the Xue family. Several physicians.

These servants are ordinary people, and they are only responsible for the young master of the Xue family's cooking, eating and living in the wild, that is, the logistics staff, so they did not go into the mountain together, but stayed outside the mountain to take care of the logistics.

A year ago, there were as many as 40 people in the entourage.

Who is Xue's family is a big family, not short of money.

In the world of rich people, they can really do whatever they want.

It is also because of this that the Xue family left a major clue to the location of the headless village this time.

There are 40 people who can provide the approximate direction of the headless village.

Although these servants and physicians did not accompany them into the mountain to hunt due to their ordinary physique, they only provided supplies and backup materials outside the mountain to help them, but they followed Xue Xiong's footsteps all the way.

Just ask the servants and the doctor, where Xue Xiong and the others have been, which mountains they have entered to hunt, and the general route, and then it is easy to deduce the general direction of the headless village.

……

……

There is a high mountain in Wuzhou Prefecture, called Wushan Ridge.

Wushan Ridge is one of the highest mountains in Wuzhou Prefecture. It got its name because it is full of greenery and rich in medicinal materials.

One of the tributaries of the Yinyi River flows through the Wushan Mountains, so the humidity in the mountains is very cold.This also caused the mountains to be shrouded in clouds and mists all year round, making it easy to get lost, so few people went deep into Wushanling.

Moreover, this primeval mountain forest is overgrown with wild beasts and poisonous insects. Even if there are hunters who live nearby and hunt for a living, they only dare to move around the mountain.

The place adjacent to Wuzhou Mansion is called Cangshan Mansion. If you talk about the most famous mountain in Cangshan Mansion, it is Cang'er Mountain, where the word Cangshan comes from.

Cang'er Mountain is connected to the sky by the sea of ​​clouds, towering into the clouds. This is a towering and steep mountain range straddling the two prefectures. One of its branches extends into the boundary of Wuzhou Prefecture and borders on the Wushan Ridge of Wuzhou Prefecture, forming a complex mountain range.

The Wushan Ridge and the Cang'er Mountain are precipitous mountains that are inaccessible to human beings. The terrain is complex and full of poisonous insects and wild animals. Only people who gather herbs or hunters dare to enter the mountains.

But I only dare to wander around the outer edge of the mountain, never daring to go too deep.

Only martial arts practitioners with high skills and courage, or the young heroes of the rivers and lakes with the dream of being a hero, dare to go deep into the mountains and forests full of beasts to kill man-eating worms.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Two reckless men covered in blood and holding machetes ran wildly in the forest, smashing through thickets of weeds and thorns, and startled the birds in the forest.

The two men had fleshy faces, and their eyes were full of fear. It seemed that they were two wanted murderers who had just committed a crime outside and planned to escape into the mountains to hide.

Seeing that their facial features are somewhat similar, they are two brothers.

"Brother, it's getting dark soon, why haven't you found the Hanging Road yet?"

"The herbal picker we killed on the way into the mountain just now said that there is a suspended road behind the mountain. It was a secret shortcut used by traveling merchants to avoid robbers and enter Cangshan mansion from Wuzhou mansion. But we We haven’t found the Hanging Road until now, could it be that we were deceived?”

"Damn it, if I knew he had lied to us, I shouldn't have wiped his neck just now. Instead, I would have ripped open his stomach like a pig or a dog. Wiping his neck would make him die too cheaply."

This pair of brothers, the elder brother is called Wang Haichuan, and the younger is called Wang Haifu.

The person who spoke just now was his younger brother Wang Haifu.

The younger brother is thick-backed, and the nine-ring machete in his hand weighs six to seven catties. He is a head taller than his elder brother Wang Haichuan.

The elder brother is thin and slender, with a dull face and honesty. He is silent and doesn't speak much along the way.

But when it comes to cruelty, this taciturn, seemingly honest elder brother has committed many more murders than Wang Haifu.

This pair of brothers is a pair of thugs who block roads and rob. They specialize in killing, setting fire, kidnapping and looting. They commit all kinds of crimes and have been wanted by the court for many days.

Today, the brothers killed several yamen servants and Xiangyong in a row, and then escaped from the siege of the local yamen, but faced with the continuous siege of several yamen arresters, the two brothers had no choice but to go to the deep mountains and old forests where there are dense forests and few people. drill.

So there is this scene.

"Brother, in my opinion, that bullshit Hanging Road is probably fake. Why don't we change the road before it gets dark, so that if we don't find the Hanging Road, it will be nothing in the end."

"Besides, we don't necessarily have to flee to Cangshan Mansion. Wuzhou Mansion is so big. After our brothers change their names and surnames, we can find a hilltop and become king at random, and then continue to work back to our old business. There is still a big meal. Fish and meat, happy life."

Wang Haifu was really bored and suffocated, and he kept looking for something to say along the way.

But the eldest brother Wang Haichuan remained silent all the way, just running away with his head buried.

The younger brother Wang Haifu, who is thicker and taller, seems to be more afraid of the elder brother who is a head shorter than him.Seeing that his elder brother kept silent all the way, he obediently kept his mouth shut and continued to follow his elder brother to flee for his life.

He knew that his brain was not as flexible as his elder brother's.

Since I was a child, I have been dominated by my eldest brother.

The figures of the two brothers continued to run wildly in the quiet deep mountain and old forest, bumping away bushes and thorns. Suddenly, their vision was blank.

The lush vegetation disappeared, and it became an open land.

A cliff appeared in front of him.

A winding and steep cliff road met the eyes of the two brothers, and their eyes immediately showed joy.

The cliff road is extremely steep, as if it had been dug out by a ghostly axe. It stands at the junction of Wushan Ridge and Cang'er Mountain, like a fault zone that has been torn apart by the mountains.

The cliff road is narrow and steep.

The two brothers glanced into the distance, and even saw that there were many places where it was difficult for even one person to pass.

"Is there really a hanging road?"

"Hey, no wonder it is said that money can turn ghosts. Those traveling merchants actually found such a dangerous road in the mountains. Brother, do you think we will encounter those traveling merchants later?"

The younger brother Wang Haifu looked at the cliff road, it was a steep cliff that would be irreversible if he stumbled, he laughed and joked.While talking and joking, the heavy nine-ring knife he held in his hand shook slightly in his hand, making clang and clang sounds, with a murderous aura.

Wang Haifu spoke in a relaxed tone, not at all afraid of the dangerous road dug on the cliff in front of him.

After all, if you don't have the guts, how can you make a living as a gangster who kills and robs goods?

For reckless gangsters like them who keep their heads pinned to their belts all the year round, life and death have long been taken lightly.

"It happened that we escaped all the way, and we didn't bring enough dry food when we went into the mountain temporarily. If we meet those traveling merchants later, we will just kill them to collect money and dry food, and make up for our five internal organs temple."

The thin, silent Wang Haichuan looked numbly at the cliff road standing on the steep mountain wall in front of him, and said in a deep voice.

Wang Haifu laughed and said something wonderful, and then the two brothers boldly stepped into the cliff road in front of them.

woohoo-

wow wow wow-

Twilight dimmed.

The drowsy sky, mixed with rain, slapped on the cold mountain wall. The weather in the mountain is like this, it is sunny when it is sunny, and it rains suddenly when it is rainy.

Wang Haichuan and Wang Haifu did not expect that this thrilling cliff road dug on the cliff would be so long.When we got to the end, the cliff road was even more difficult to walk, and even one person couldn't stand upright. He had to stick to the steep mountain wall and carefully step on the road with half of his foot in order to walk slowly.

It was precisely because of this that the two brothers delayed a lot of time, seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker.

It was already dark in the mountains.

But at this time, a monster wind suddenly blew up from nowhere in the mountains, and then it rained heavily, which made the already steep cliff road even more difficult to walk.

But they have already gone so far, and it is impossible for the two murderer brothers to retreat, so they can only bite the bullet and continue to move forward, praying to get out of this damn cliff road that makes people lose patience long ago.

After walking a certain distance carefully like this, before it got dark, they were delighted to see that the cliff road in front of them finally began to gradually widen.

It is difficult to drop half of the sole of the foot, to the person who is close to the mountain wall and can drop both feet.

The sun was lower at this time, and it was as red as blood.

The crimson sunset is getting lower and lower in the mountains.

When the last ray of light on the horizon completely sank and turned into night, Wang Haichuan and Wang Haifu finally walked through the most difficult road on the Hanging Road, and the road in front of them became wide enough for one person to walk normally.

Under the hazy silver moonlight, the two brothers continued to walk forward on the cliff road.

Along the way, the eldest brother Wang Haichuan walked in front silently, and the younger brother Wang Haifu followed behind, cursing and complaining all the time.

It is said that this cliff road is really not for normal people to walk. It is not that money can make ghosts turn mills, but it is clear that money can make mills turn ghosts.

Wang Haifu cursed again, on the next cliff road, don't let him meet traveling merchants, otherwise their legs must be cut off and thrown here to make them starve to death.

The mountains are quiet and silent.

It was as silent as a huge grave, not even the chirping of insects or birds.

too quiet.

So depressing.

The half moon above the head hangs alone in the sky, as if half of it was eaten by a dog, the moonlight falls in the quiet mountain forest, and the only sound is Wang Haifu's cursing along the way.

And at his feet, there was a pitch-black, gloomy cliff where nothing could be seen.

Every time I look down at the cliff at my feet, I can't help but wonder if there is a pair of blue eyes quietly staring at people in the darkness under the cliff?
suddenly.

pat!

"Huh? What sound?"

The eldest brother Wang Haichuan, who had been walking in front, suddenly looked back with a cautious personality.

But behind him, apart from the darkness, the dark and blurred mountain shadow, shrouded in darkness, he couldn't see anything, and he didn't hear any abnormal noise.

"Brother, are you too suspicious, why didn't I hear anything?"

The impulsive Wang Haifu also followed Wang Haichuan to listen carefully, but he didn't hear anything behind him.

"Brother, I think you are too nervous. If there is any beast following us brothers, just use the nine-ring knife in my hand to make us hungry all the way to the Wuzang Temple." Wang Haifu said indifferently.

The Jiuhuan Dao in his hand swayed loudly in his hand, making people look murderous.

Wang Haichuan ignored his younger brother's noise, and stayed there for a while, looking behind him suspiciously.

But there is always silence behind.

Except for the occasional whistling mountain wind, the mountain at night is as quiet as a tomb.

Afterwards, Wang Haichuan shook his head, thinking that maybe he was really nervous, and the two continued on their way.

I don't know.

Before the two brothers could take a few steps, suddenly, patter!Slap!

Something is wrong!
There is indeed movement!
This time even the careless and reckless Wang Haifu heard footsteps behind him.

Someone has been quietly following behind them.

Clang!
Wang Haichuan drew his sword out of its sheath, and the two brothers cooperated all the year round, immediately staring vigilantly at the direction of the dark mountain wall behind each other.

Just then the footsteps disappeared again.

The mountains are quiet again.

pat!

But not long after, the footsteps sounded again, clack, clack, clack——

This time the sound of footsteps kept echoing on the empty cliff road, and as they got closer and closer, under the tense muscles of Wang Haichuan and Wang Haifu, in the dark, there were actually flames dancing in the middle of the night.

Like a ball of will-o'-the-wisp dancing in the void.

With the sound of footsteps, the group of will-o'-the-wisps got closer and closer, and then a Taoist priest wearing a five-color Taoist robe approached.

The Taoist priest in the five-color Taoist robe was a thin middle-aged man with a bag on his back, like a hiker, holding a torch in his hand.

The face of the middle-aged Taoist priest in the five-color Taoist robe, under the dim light of the torch, appeared and disappeared from time to time, and it was difficult to see the expression on his face clearly for a while.

Wang Haichuan and Wang Haifu looked at the middle-aged Taoist priest who appeared on the cliff road late at night, and they were all taken aback.

Seeing that there are other living people here, the middle-aged Taoist priest in the five-color Taoist robe seemed to be taken aback by surprise.

"Hey, is there anyone else on Hanging Road late at night?"

"I don't know how to call the benefactors? I am Yu Youzi, a Taoist priest from the Wuzang Taoist Temple. I heard that there is a village called Taoyuan Village in this mountain. I have been looking for Taoyuan Village in the mountains. I don't know if any of the benefactors have heard of Taoyuan Village. ?”

Under the dim light of the torch, a smile appeared on the thin face of the middle-aged Taoist priest, but this smile always gave people the feeling that something was wrong, and it made people feel weird.
