Please calm down your anger

Chapter 15 Evil in the valley road, riding horses and snow

Mountain ghost, the ghost in the mountain.

In Dayan Kingdom, the mountain ghost is not the beautiful mountain god who "rides the red leopard and obeys the raccoon dog", but generally refers to all the evil spirits in the mountains. Sometimes they can't distinguish their shapes, so they are collectively called mountain ghosts.

"Mountain ghost?!"

Tang Zixiong's face was ugly, and he asked sharply: "Who did you hear said it was a mountain ghost, could it be someone pretending to be a ghost!"

He was in a bad mood. Shiwa village had just had an accident, and finally people's hearts gradually stabilized. If rumors spread, the nearby Town God's Temple would make him lose money.

The young man gritted his teeth: "Master Tang, those who came back said that when they passed the mountain road, there was a sudden strong wind, and the rocks fell, hurting many people, and they couldn't see anything clearly."

stoning people...

Wang Xuan's heart skipped a beat, he remembered the records in "Swallows Searching Mountains", he turned his head and said: "Liu Shun, go back to the government office to get my weapons, meet at the south gate."

"Yes, my lord!"

Without saying a word, Liu Shun turned around and ran towards the government office.

Wang Xuan looked at the puppy in his arms, hesitated a little, then strode towards the city gate, his figure erect in the heavy snow.

"Master Wang, you..."

Tang Zixiong opened his mouth in the back and was at a loss for words.

To be honest, he was very clear about Li County Magistrate Wang Xuan's intentions to build momentum, he made a lot of jokes secretly, and he even sneered at the changes in the military mansion.

A few days ago, he helped Emperor Xuan with errands, he seemed to be respectful, but in fact he was coping, otherwise he would not have brought people to the door to trade without verification.

But today Wang Xuan changed his outlook greatly.

The boy next to him chuckled: "Here we go again, this Captain Wang seems to have a real reputation..."

"Shut up!" Tang Zixiong snorted coldly: "Quick, go and lead a fast horse."

……

When Wang Xuan arrived at the gate of the city, the county captain Jin Hu had arrived with the yamen servants.

There is an open space near the city gate, with a wooden frame erected on one side, which is usually used to post official documents or reward notices from the county government.

The official roads in various parts of Dayan are often cleaned by Jing Yaosi, which is considered safe, but the mountain roads and wild roads cannot help taking care of them, so caravans often hire guards to travel with them.

Today, mules and horses are neighing and whining, and there is a lot of noise.

Several carriages were almost torn apart, and all the wounded were being pulled on them. Even a few mules and horses knelt on the ground snorting, and the snow was dotted with red spots.

The yamen servants ordered the strong men to carry the wounded, and Liu Cheng, the head catcher, asked them one by one.

Soon, Liu Chengcheng turned around and came towards Wang Xuan and Jin Hu, bending down and clasping his fists: "Reporting to my lords, my subordinates have already checked, and all of them were traumatized. According to them, there was only one person who saw the black wind howling." There is a white shadow on the mountain."

County lieutenant Jin Hu frowned: "A white shadow... can not only show the body in daylight, but also raise the wind. Could it be that there are evil cultivators who harm people?"

Wang Xuan shook his head slightly: "Everything has a source, evil cultivators harming people is nothing more than covetous cultivation of flesh and blood, how can we allow the caravan to escape?"

"Master Wang means..."

""Dayan Soushan Map" records that in EZ, there were people in distress who complained about their corpses and turned into spirits, causing trouble in the mountains. Because of their resentment during their lifetime, they liked falling stones and hitting people the most, and they were called stone corpse spirits."

"Corpse?!"

County lieutenant Jin Hu and Liu Cheng took a breath at the same time.

Although corpse spirits and zombies are both transformed from corpses, they are completely different.

Zombies are born with evil energy, although they are invulnerable, they take years to conceive, weaker people can dig them out and burn them.

But corpse spirits are completely different. They absorb the essence of heaven and earth by burying their grievances deep in the ground, and can produce tricks as soon as they are born.

Cold sweat immediately fell on the forehead of the county captain Jinhu: "It's over, Daoist Li Shouxin went to the mountains near Shiwa Village to check the terrain, and he hasn't returned yet..."

"My lord, your weapon!"

Just at this moment, Liu Shun and Zhang Heng arrived, both wearing armor and swords.One is carrying a rotten silver gun, and the other is holding a bow and arrow.

Wang Xuan nodded, first put the bow on his back, then hung the quiver on his waist, spun the rotten silver gun against his shoulder, thought for a while and handed the little black dog in his arms to Liu Cheng, "Please send it back to Catcher Liu Military mansion."

County lieutenant Jin Hu saw that Wang Xuan was driving anxiously: "Lord Wang, you must not be impulsive, wait for Li Daochang to come back, or report to Jing Yaosi..."

"That's too late."

Wang Xuan shook his head and said, "The Nanshan Valley Road is the only way to go to Fucheng, and if you want to ask for help, you have to go through it. If the corpse hides in the forest, there will be endless troubles."

"This..." Jin Hu was momentarily at a loss for words.

He knew that what Wang Xuan said was correct, the corpse fled into the vast forest, even if Jing Yaoji came, it would be difficult to find, if he came out to harass him from time to time, who would dare to leave the mountain road in Yong'an County.

Wang Xuan looked at the arrowhead engraved with grooved runes in the quiver, "Don't worry, Lieutenant Jin, I know this well."

After finishing speaking, he looked around and saw that there were more and more people gathered around, and said with a smile: "Furthermore, if I hide, I'm afraid this captain who fights tigers will become an idiot captain again."

The county lieutenant Jin Hu's eyes became serious, "Okay, I'll gather all the experts and go together."

Wang Xuan nodded slightly, "Alright, maybe there are still injured people there."

At this moment, Tang Zixiong hurried over leading a snowflake black zebra, "My lord, this horse has very strong legs."

"Just in time!"

Wang Xuan was also polite, turned over and jumped on the horseback: "Liu Shun and Zhang Heng, I will go first, you follow County Captain Jin, remember, if I am not around, you must not enter the forest!"

After finishing speaking, he twisted the rein, raised his gun and rode out.

One person and one horse quickly disappeared into the heavy snow...

County lieutenant Jin Hu gritted his teeth: "Liu Cheng, gather the troops, and we will go too."

Looking at the busy yamen servants, Tang Zixiong's boy said in a low voice, "Well, these yamen officials are not good people on weekdays, but today they are showing some chivalry."

Tang Zixiong glanced at his subordinates indifferently: "What knowledge do you have in our remote place in Yong'an? The old man tells you that although there are many intrigues in the world, there is also a lot of pride."

"They're not from the rivers and lakes..."

"Hey... When will the court and the rivers and lakes be separated again?"

"Master Tang, Jianghu...what the hell is it?"

"Jianghu... When you understand, you are already old..."

……

It was snowing heavily, and the wilderness was white.

"drive!"

Holding a gun, Wang Xuan rode his horse and galloped wildly, facing the wind and snow howling, his blood was boiling.

The former was poor since he was a child, and he only learned equestrianism in Fucheng, but after coming to Yong'an, he was poor and destitute, and almost forgot that the dragon spear is horse spear.

Now the horse is galloping wildly, the silver spear in his hand stabs up and down instinctively, and the evil spirit infects the horse below him, causing bloodshot eyes to appear in his eyes, his hoofs are like the wind, and large snowflakes splash behind him.

Half an hour later, the vast Nanshan Mountain was within sight.

I saw a winding and rugged valley road, steep mountains on both sides with dense pine trees, white and green in the snow, and the atmosphere is vast and vast.

Every county in Dayan has particular attention to the site selection, all of which are places where the energy of the earth gathers the spiritual orifices, or they are surrounded by mountains and rivers, or they occupy plains, so the geomantic omens are excellent.

For example, Yong'an County, although it is located between basins and surrounded by vast mountains, is relatively closed, but it has been around for thousands of years, and several wars have been avoided.

And the valley avenue is the only access to the official road leading to Dayan Bingzhou.

After riding his horse into the canyon mountain road, Wang Xuan quickly calmed down.

As the evil spirit subsided, the horse under him regained consciousness and snorted hot air from his nostrils, obviously very tired.

Wang Xuan patted the horse's neck to comfort him, then shook his head slightly: "Ordinary horses really don't look good, and we must find a good military horse in the future."

Then, while driving the horse forward slowly, he observed the mountains on both sides.

Although the Stone Corpse Essence has been recorded several times in the "Dayan Soushan Map", which is consistent with this attack in all aspects, he has never seen it before, and he is extremely vigilant in his heart.

Scattered and rolled cargo boxes and bloodstains can be found from time to time along the way, some of which have already been cracked, revealing the cloth, farm tools and various irons inside.

The annual Town God's Temple Fair is not only an opportunity for businessmen to buy and sell, but also a time for the people of Yong'an to buy new year's goods after a year of hard work.

If it is not resolved as soon as possible, I am afraid that no merchant will dare to come again.

At this moment, a corpse appeared in front of him, his whole body was bruised and purple, his face was distorted in horror, his belly was disembowelled, and the blood on the ground was frozen into ice slag.

Wang Xuan's face also turned gloomy.

Stone Corpse Essence...can't take people's viscera...
