Tomb Raiders in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 73 Entering Flying Star Ridge
"All go back, if I don't come back after three days, all of you should leave here and go elsewhere to make a living!" Zhang Faqiu said loudly.

This is just making the best use of the situation, if it wasn't for me just riding the waves, making these people mistakenly think that I am the legendary river god, they would not listen to me.

In this era, the belief of the people is a very powerful force, just like the rebellion of the brothers Zhang Lu and Zhang Jiao. Because of the belief of the people, as long as they climb up and shout, responders gather.

Some elderly people pointed to the ancient sword that Zhang Faqiu mentioned, and said loudly to those around them: "Did you see that, it is the Zhangjiabao sword that killed the dragon, and it has just been washed into the flood. This is the river god!"

Seeing this, everyone became even more convinced that Zhang Faqiu was the manifestation of the river god.

The crowd began to retreat rustlingly, and both sides of the river bottom became empty.

"Brother Zhang, you are amazing!" Li Mojin stepped forward and gave a thumbs up from a distance. As for the other soldiers, they looked at Zhang Faqiu with awe.

Li Mojin had already seen Zhang Faqiu's fabulous methods when he broke the situation of the five ghosts carrying the coffin before, but now seeing Zhang Faqiu standing on the torrent again, he was as shocked as others.

Zhang Faqiu just rolled his eyes at Li Mojin's compliment, and he was afraid for a while: "Did you see something in the water before?"

"I thought it was the water dragon that came back!" Li Changkun took over the conversation: "But it looks like some kind of vicious monster!"

"I only saw one mouth and the white fangs, and the rest were covered by the spray!" Li Mojin also nodded.

What the rest of the soldiers saw was similar to this. When the creature rushed out of the torrent, it brought a big splash to cover up its true face.

Zuo Xiaoqing looked at the rolling yellow water, with some strange expressions in his eyes, before Zhang Faqiu could speak, Zuo Xiaoqing said, "I didn't see clearly either!"

Zhang Faqiu began to ponder, what kind of creature can come and go freely in the torrent?
Crocodile?

It is probably unlikely. Although the natural environment in these days is much better than that of later generations, and many animals that cannot be seen in later generations can be seen in the wild, no matter how powerful the crocodile is, it is impossible to swim rapidly against the torrent.

With such a fast flow rate, I'm afraid that no creature can go down and out of the water freely, unless...

Zhang Faqiu got on his horse and didn't think about anything else.

After the body mutated, it now shows various benefits. The first one is that the water does not wet the body. When the rain falls on Zhang Faqiu, it will flow away naturally, without getting his clothes wet at all.

Seeing this scene in the eyes of everyone, it is also enviable.

Sitting on the horseback, Zhang Faqiu began to carefully examine the ancient knife in his hand. It was about the same length as an adult's arm, and weighed about ten catties. In the end, he told Li Mojin , This thing has a lot of rust on the knife, it doesn't look like anything valuable...

"No..." Zhang Faqiu pulled the red cloth strip on the knife. He clearly remembered that when he pulled the red cloth strip to pull the ancient knife out of the mud just now under the water, the top of the ancient knife was clearly A very frightening knife light lit up!
But... why is it rusty now, as if it has been buried in the soil for hundreds of years, without any luster?

Some things cannot be speculated with common sense. Zhang Faqiu felt that he could travel to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty as a living person. It is not an exaggeration for such rare things to happen.

At this time, a man on a horse chased him up from a distance, and the sound of hoofbeats interrupted Zhang Faqiu's meditation.

This is a middle-aged man with a slightly fat body, wearing a thick and heavy coir raincoat, and inside is a long gown that men in the Han Dynasty wore every day.

Zhang Faqiu recognized it. This is the dibao that Li Mojin asked to question.

"What are you doing here?" Li Mojin shouted before Zhang Faqiu could ask.

The dibao chuckled, looked at Zhang Faqiu in fear, and then said: "I really don't know that Grandpa General is Lord River God. This villain is here to lead the way for Lord River God."

Li Mojin sneered, and followed Dibao's words: "Since you know that this general's grandfather is Lord River God, do you still need you to lead the way?"

Zhang Faqiu really doesn't need it, as long as he knows a general range, when he gets there, he can use the direction of the mountains and rivers in that place to deduce where the big jiao will gather water and turn into a jiaolong.

This is why Zhang Faqiu and others did not find a guide when they set off from Zhangjiazhuang.

Zhang Faqiu doesn't often say that tomb robbery is my specialty!This is based on the mountain topography, deducing the direction and position, which is naturally his specialty.

"This... a small family has lived on both sides of the river for generations..."

"Come on, let's go back, we don't need you here!" Li Changkun also stood up, and bluntly rejected the land security.

Dibao looked at Zhang Faqiu, the river god, in fear, and was a little annoyed, so he was about to turn around and leave, but at this moment, Zhang Faqiu said:

"Then follow!"

"Come on!" Di Bao enthusiastically introduced himself to everyone. His name is Zhou Chang, and his ancestors have lived by the West River for generations.

Xihe is what the local people call it, because the river flows from east to west, so it is called Xihe.

When Zhou Changzu uploaded it, he encountered many incidents of slaughtering Jiao. Of course, most of them were very smooth. As long as the old Zhang family's ancient knife was hung on the stone arch bridge, Jiaolong walked down the river and passed through the bridge hole. time, he will be beheaded to death.

Li Mojin sneered at this: "Since this is the case, why didn't it work this year? From my point of view, these early years weren't anything to go by at all. Nao, this time I met the right master, so naturally it will not work."

Zhou Chang was blushed by Li Mojin's words and couldn't say a word, so the whole team became quiet again.

It took half a day to walk a distance of fifty miles.

In the cloudy and rainy weather, I couldn't tell the exact time, but looking at the gradually darkening sky, any fool would know that the night is coming.

When Zhou Chang came here, he became a little nervous, always staring at one place with his eyes, and then looked back with great fear, which made people's hearts a little creepy.

Li Mojin somewhat regretted that he hadn't stood up against this Faqiu back then, and brought such a cowardly and useless person on the road. Wasn't it because he was just looking for trouble?

However, these complaints are just thinking about it in his heart, in front of so many guys (Cao Jun soldiers), he will naturally not rush Zhang Faqiu.

Zhang Faqiu reined in the horse and waved at Zhou Chang. Zhou Chang pulled the horse's reins, and the skinny horse walked up quickly.

"Grandpa River God!" Zhou Chang looked at Zhang Faqiu in fear, looking a little embarrassed.

Zhang Faqiu smiled: "Since you are the land protector here, you should know where there is a cave in Feixing Ridge, or the thatched house that Orion built on the mountain."

Zhou Chang nodded, pointed in one direction and said, "Which way to go, three or two miles away, there is a cave. All the hunters will spend the night there before entering the mountain."

Zhang Faqiu nodded, since this is the case, then where to spend the night is naturally the best choice.

It's just... Zhang Faqiu looked in the direction Zhou Chang was pointing at, but a very bad feeling arose in his heart...

After entering the mountain, on the muddy road, you can no longer ride a horse, you can only lead the horse. If you don’t encounter such rainy weather in normal times, you can naturally ride a horse to the cave that Zhou Chang said inside.

Three or two miles of mountain road sounds very close, but when we got outside the cave, it was completely dark.

Fortunately, Zhou Chang knew the way, and led Zhang Faqiu and others to find this place in the dark.

Contrary to Zhang Faqiu's expectations, there is still fire in the cave!

someone!

The barking of the horse alarmed the people in the cave. Before the people came out, there was the barking of dogs. Two knee-high hounds ran out of the cave, barking around the crowd.

Zhang Faqiu couldn't help but think of the big dog that Xiahou Dun raised.

Immediately afterwards, someone came out. It was a big-bodied hunter with a longbow in his hand. When he saw whether it was a man or a beast, this man also laughed.

"They are all brothers who come to hunt in the mountains, come in and enjoy the fire!"

Zhang Faqiu responded, and rode in.

After the fire, I could see the Orion's appearance clearly. There was a simple knife on his waist, and he was wearing clothes made of unknown animal fur, which looked quite thick.

When Orion saw that Zhang Faqiu and others were wearing armor, his complexion changed.

These days, the imperial court's control over the local area is getting weaker and weaker. Wu Fu is the most powerful person in this era, so there is no one in the world who is not afraid of Wu Fu.

"Brother Zhou Chang!" Just when Orion was afraid, a familiar face appeared in front of him.

Zhou Chang also laughed, and introduced to Zhang Faqiu: "Grandpa River God, this is the Orion of our village, named Cai Lao Er, a simple and honest man."

Zhang Faqiu nodded slightly, without speaking, he directed the other soldiers to start a fire from Cai Laoer's pile of firewood, and then three more fires rose in the whole cave, and he started to roast something to eat.

Zhou Chang was obviously very familiar with Cai's second child, and the two gathered around the fire, talking and laughing.

Similarly, Zhou Chang also told Cai Laoer about the fact that Zhang Fei went to be the grandfather of the River God. After Cai Laoer finished listening, he looked at Zhang Faqiu with a sense of sacredness besides fear of accidents. worship and respect.

After Li Mojin ate a few pieces of roasted dried meat, he couldn't sit still. He touched Cai's second son, and asked with a smile: "Brother, I'm more curious, everyone is watching Jiao, why did you come to Feixing Ridge by yourself?"
