The old demon of Montenegro wants to practice Taoism

Chapter 123

Shan Yangze looked in the direction the arrow came from, but found no one, which in itself was a big problem.

They are now hiding in a forest. Although they have not yet entered the mountain, the forest is not dense, but all kinds of trees are intertwined, and it is impossible to find a gap from more than ten meters away.

Even if the man fled immediately after missing a hit, he couldn't stay in this place anymore. The few people walked forward for a while, getting farther and farther away from the stockade. Not far away was the road into the mountain, and occasionally the movement of caravans could be heard from above. .

Wantong looked at Governor, "Can you detect someone approaching?"

The governor shook his head, and carefully took the arrow in Shanyangze's hand, "Look at the angle of the arrow, and the carvings on the pole, it seems that it is not a handicraft of the Han people." There are many shops in the world that sell this, you remember the inn where we stayed, they also used this when they went hunting."

Shan Yangze glanced at Huai Shu and Guo Qian, both of them shook their heads as if there was nothing there, this is really strange, where did the arrow come from?

"It's not too late, it's better for us to enter the mountain here." Shan Yangze glanced at the messy village below, "Many people have already entered the mountain, and we won't attract attention if we are caught in it."

Although Wantong agrees with this point, but... "This enemy is in the dark, what should I do if you leave and stare at me?"

"Three ways, either we send you to the government office in the town, and leave after the Jin Yiwei arrives, but this time, three days have passed." Shan Yangze withdrew the poisonous arrow from the governor's hand, He used a formula to burn the arrow, "The second is to stay in this village and find out the real culprit before leaving."

"No, no." Wantong felt that these two were not good ideas. "The first one took too long, but the second...we really can't control this village."

"Then there is only a third way." This time it was the Governor who spoke, "You go into the mountain with us."

Wantong's worried eyebrows were about to drop, "I...it's really not that piece of material..."

Shan Yangze frowned, he didn't even want to take Yan Chixia with him, let alone Wantong, "You don't have to really follow us into the mountain, after you go in, you pretend to have a twisted foot, and then find a way to get out." The people from the mountain will come out with them."

Wantong felt relieved, slapped the donkey's butt, and said, "Let's go!"

After walking a few steps forward, Wantong realized that Shan Yangze didn't seem to be following. He was just about to turn his head, but Huai Shu pulled him away, "Brother left a few helpers to report to Yan Chixia, let's go first, he will come later." Come up."

Wantong still couldn't help turning his head, and saw that Shanyangze seemed to be talking to a group of people, but there was nothing on the other side. Wantong rubbed his eyes, and looked back again, feeling the wind After a while, Huai Shu laughed, "This is the beginning--" Guo Qian coughed, and Huai Shu immediately changed his words, "In short, you also contributed."

Shan Yangze and the others turned to the right road, and after a while, they caught up with a team of herb collectors who also went into the mountain overnight because they were afraid of trouble. Several entrances and exits of the stockade were sealed, and the latter seemed to be pulled back to check their luggage."

This person was still complaining endlessly, Shan Yangze and the governor looked at each other, and couldn't help quickening his pace, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that he was coming for them.

After all, the night road was not easy to walk, and besides, it was over the mountain. They estimated that they had walked out of the sphere of influence of the village, so they found a flat place to rest.

Early the next morning, a few people started on their way. The only way out of the mountain here was to go to the village that was on fire before, so they had to go further inside to see if they could find the herb pickers who came in from other places, because they had to check for news from time to time on the way. So they didn't go fast, and finally found a team of herb pickers who had been in the mountain for nearly ten days when the sun was setting on the second day, and entrusted Wantong to go out.

Shan Yangze was still a little worried, so he camped overnight with the group, and secretly gave Wantong a small cloth bag called an amulet, which was actually the hiding place of No. 50 ghost, and finally broke up.

Sending off Wantong, a few people were about to rush in, but they didn't expect to see an acquaintance, the porter they met in the village earlier, and a group of seven people went into the mountain to collect herbs.There were black and red marks on the porter's face, as if he had been burned.The porter sat by himself, a little far away from the seven people, and gnawed a dry biscuit in his hand.

Shan Yangze vaguely pointed at the porter, and said to the governor: "The ones in the stockade, are they allowed to go? I'll go and find out." Then, he took a water bag and pretended to fill it with water by the stream. Shi Shi glanced at it inadvertently, "I'm afraid your face is burned, why don't you rest more at home."

The porter smiled wryly, "The house is on fire, and the three children need to eat."

"Oh." Shan Yangze sighed, "It's not easy. I saw the fire that day and followed the big flow into the mountain. I don't know what happened afterwards?"

The porter seemed to be afraid, so he didn't say a word, but his employer, a big and three rough, laughed and said, "How is it? The mountain is closed." He glanced at Shan Yangze and said, "There are only four of you~" The ending sound rises, which always makes people feel malicious.

When Shan Yangze came back and sat down, they were all people with sharp eyes and ears, so he didn't need to repeat it, except that Huai Shu was a pure force supremacist, Guo Qian and the governor were both vigilant.

Now that Huatou had been aroused by Shan Yangze, the few people over there started chatting again.

For example, the porter took them into the mountains under the pretext of taking his wife back to her natal family for refuge. For example, the price for him to go into the mountains was [-] yuan a day.Although Shan Yangze didn't intend to hire a porter, he also mentioned this topic when chatting with the innkeeper earlier.

Normally, it is 120 Wen per day within ten days, and it rises to 150 in ten to fifteen days. If the time is long or the distance is long, [-] is also available. He only charges [-], which is indeed a cheap sale.

Shan Yangze and the others listened to a few words, and found that those people were very cautious and did not say their destination, and looked at them from time to time.The few people didn't want to cause trouble, and felt that their footsteps were much faster than theirs, so they left immediately after the governor finished his meal.

The first time I came here, I brought an old eunuch with me, and they walked slowly. This time, I followed the young governor, and the road was much faster. Counting the time spent on finding a new home for Wantong on the first day, they also walked slowly on the third day. We arrived at the top of the mountain in the afternoon, and we went down to the entrance of the cave.

Shan Yangze arranged a few talismans around the camp, and said: "The entrance of the cave below is a forbidden area, and most of them are watched by people. Let's go down when the night is quiet."

Governor also heard about their experience of going in for the first time, and he did not express any objection. Besides... In fact, he was still a little skeptical about whether it was here. Although Shan Yangze was very confident, he thought about the reasons he said carefully. , It's a bit like a coincidence, but this is not the most worrying thing now.

The Lord is the only one who needs to eat... so uncomfortable.

After walking deep into the mountains, Shan Yangze hurried on his way in order to hurry up, leaving only one person's ration, and the Governor knew that Shan Yangze's pale younger brother was not human either...

Although surrounded by a group of monsters to eat, but these monsters look like vegetarians, so it shouldn't be very dangerous...

While the governor was eating, he thought about the reasons Shan Yangze had said earlier.

First of all, it was naturally Zhang Sanfeng. The search for the elixir of life began with Zhang Sanfeng. Zhang Sanfeng fell here, so there must be something related to the elixir of life here.In addition, the things on that painting were found according to Shan Yangze's reasoning, so there is something in this last place.

However, Zhang Sanfeng's fall here can also be explained that he wanted to find a place that would not be discovered by later generations. This Shennongjia is the nearest mountain that meets the requirements, so he found this place.

The second is the human skin map. Shan Yangze said that when they first came, they met a group of tomb robbers who took a human skin map and said they were looking for good things. map.

The third is that a group of savages who don't understand the language guard the place, and these savages seem to be in a primitive society, which proves that the things inside have a long history.

The governor still felt a little risky, so he couldn't help but frowned again.

In fact, there is another reason that Shanyangze did not say, that is, he is from Montenegro, and the things in Shennongjia are very attractive to him, and it must be here.However, this reason is still a bit hard to tell the governor.

After eating, the governor closed his eyes and rested for a while, Shan Yangze waited until the third watch, and woke up the people, and they packed up their things, and went into the cave without a sound.

There was no change in the cave from the last time they came, there were still three corpses kneeling in the big cave, their faces were lifelike, and they looked like living people, except that they had lost their breath.Seeing these three corpses, Shan Yangze heaved a sigh of relief and said, "At last no one has been here."

"Let's go." Shan Yangze found the talisman he had left behind, and pointed to the hole on the other side, "Those people entered from here. But before going in, I have to explain a few words."

"There are strange snakes with legs inside, you must not be bitten by them."

"If you smell a strange fragrance, immediately stick the talisman I gave you on your face and seal your mouth and nose."

That's right, the governor was very upset when he heard these two items... because these two items were entrusted to him alone...

After finishing speaking, Shan Yangze smiled again, "Don't worry too much, anyway, if you don't get separated, you won't die, even if you die--" Guo Qian kicked him.

"Go in." Shan Yangze said seriously.

Being interrupted by Shan Yangze, the tension dissipated a lot, but not long after they entered, they saw a corpse.There was no blood on his body, so he must have been poisoned to death by a strange aroma.

Shan Yangze remembered that their leader was a burly black-faced man, this one was obviously not, but in line with the principle of not letting go of the slightest clue, he still went up and searched, and there was nothing on this man except some food .

There are only three entrances from the big cave, but the more we go in, the more entrances there are. Shan Yangze said: "We searched for them one by one. At the beginning..." He thought for a while, "We were chased by people, so we ran in. In less than half an hour, the old eunuch was bitten to death by a snake, they are all gangsters, they are definitely not as good as the old eunuch."

The governor nodded, carved a mark at the entrance of the bifurcated hole, and took out the hourglass from his arms, "It's only half an hour, if you can't find it, change another way."

Afterwards, several corpses were found, some of which were bitten to death by snakes, with a pool of dried-up dark marks on their bodies, and some of them had no scars on their bodies, but their expressions were half-smiles, which were a bit scary to look at.

It takes an hour to go back and forth from each cave entrance, because strictly speaking, they haven't set foot on the right road yet, so they rested for a while without finding two roads. After finding nine roads, Shan Yangze finally found the leader of the tomb robbers.

The map was held in his hand, he must have just read it, but the direction he fell was a bit strange, it was facing the way he came.

Shan Yangze took out the map from his hand, the first thing he saw was not the road, but the cauldron in the middle!

It is exactly the same as the murals in Gaochang ancient country, it is here!

Even Governor's tired face smiled, just looked at the map, he frowned and said: "It looks like another cave, we have to go back to the big cave?"

Shan Yangze hummed, and said, "Just find it."

As the few people walked back, the governor looked at the intricate maze on the map and couldn't help asking: "Who built this place, such a huge project--"

Shan Yangze pulled him suddenly, covered his mouth, "There are people outside!"
