Looking closely, I noticed that the colors of the plants here were different from those I had seen before.

As he walked, the hairy man who took the lead suddenly stopped.

He looked warily ahead, crouched down, and pressed his ear to the ground.

After listening carefully, he turned his head and pointed to the tree, and then led the way up the tree quickly.

Yang Jiu glanced at Wen Qingzhu, and with her consent, led all of them to climb the tree.

About a quarter of an hour later, there was the sound of leaves in front of me, and someone was breaking through the bushes and rushing towards him.

After only a few breaths, a wave of green-eyed, gray-furred jackals appeared in front of him.

They galloped past and disappeared again in the blink of an eye.

Only the rolled up leaves slowly fell in the air.

Silence returned to the forest, and the hairy man climbed down, and everyone followed.

Wen Qingzhu sniffed, and there was a very peculiar smell in the air.

"What's wrong?" Xi'er found Wen Qingzhu staring in the direction where the jackal had disappeared.

"It's fine." Wen Qingzhu turned her head and pointed inside, maybe she was too careful.

All the way deeper, the smell that remained before became stronger and stronger.

Wen Qingzhu began to worry in his heart, and shouted to let Yang Jiu come over.

"Did Madame notice something wrong?" In fact, Yang Jiu himself was also very worried.

Wen Qingzhu pointed to the air: "You should be familiar with this smell, you must have encountered it before when you marched with Hou Ye and them, right?" ”

"It's black oil." Yang Jiu touched his chin, "It's just that this place is full of mountains and forests, and the trees are lush, and the black oil is generally underground, and only when the situation is very accidental, will others find out." ”

Wen Qingzhu stopped, carefully feeling the direction in which the smell wafted from.

Finally feeling the origin of this taste, Wen Qingzhu pointed in one direction and said, "Master Hou, they must be over there!" ”

Everyone stopped and turned their heads to look at her, especially the hairy man.

He pointed in the direction ahead in confusion, meaning that he had seen Fu Lie over there.

Wen Qingzhu went over to explain to him, although the Mao people didn't understand, but since they had found the direction themselves, he would follow.

This time they found the right direction, and Wen Qingzhu and his party began to speed up.

At the same time, the maze is under the mountain.

The Night Watchmen reappeared, this time with three of them.

The leader was still holding the disc, pointing in the direction of Wen Qingzhu and saying, "The holy stone has a sense again, it's in here!" ”

"But the place where the holy stone lost its sense before, it is far away from this maze, and if someone enters the maze, it is impossible for us not to know!"

The leader raised his head, looked at the mountain in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "The holy stone has already appeared, but after so many years of no induction, I thought that I would never be able to find it again, but now the holy stone has appeared again, that is the guidance of the witch god, since it is in our maze, it will be easier!" ”

After putting away the silver plate, the leader waved his hand and led the people into the maze.

According to the direction pointed by Wen Qingzhu, the Mao people led them forward, dodging many traps along the way.

At this time, not only Wen Qingzhu, but the rest of the people were thinking about who Mao Ren was.

They were very fast, and Aggie followed behind them, looking at the hairy man's eyes with more and more horror.

This maze is the only way to enter the mountain, except for the special guide of the Wu clan, only the night watchman who created this maze is the most familiar.

The leader Aji has seen a lot, and he is generally trained by a special person, and he is basically in his thirties.

Based on Aji's observations, he could be sure that Mao Ren was definitely not the one who led the way.

Then he can only be-

When he touched it, Aji didn't notice it for a while, and his foot tripped over a stone and fell to the ground.

Although there was a thick layer of dead leaves on the ground, he was caught off guard and made a lot of noise.

Everyone squinted at him, Aji didn't care about the pain, got up with a roll, and quickly lowered his head to cover the fear in his eyes.

Wen Qingzhu slowed down, walked beside Aji, and saw through his mind at a glance: "Who are you afraid of?" ”

"No, no! Madame misunderstood! It's all their own people here, how can the villain be afraid of anyone! Aggie didn't dare to look up at all, and hurriedly denied it.

Unfortunately, his nervous hand betrayed him.

Wen Qingzhu smiled and looked in the direction that Aji had just seen.

The gaze happened to fall on the hairy man.

"You know who the hairy man is." Wen Qingzhu's tone was very affirmative, and a hand quietly rested on Aji's shoulder.

Aji, who was already jealous and nervous, suddenly a hand reached over his shoulder, which frightened him so much that his legs weakened and simply knelt down.

Except for Mao and Mao, the rest of the people stopped and turned their heads to look at Aji.

Aji, who was kneeling, put his hands on the ground and began to tremble.

The hairy man at the front felt that they had stopped, and he also stopped, walking towards Wen Qingzhu.

He can't speak, but he can still make sounds.

A questioning 'ho-ho' sound came from his throat.

Who knew that Aji suddenly raised his head, tears and snot fell together, and he kept retreating and shouted, "Don't come here!" Don't come here! ”

The horror contained in the voice made people's eardrums tremble, and I saw Aji staring at the hairy man deadly, his face trembling deep into the bone marrow.

Wen Qingzhu asked the hairy man to back down, and Aji was a little better, but he was still shaking badly.

"Aji, who the hell is the hairy man? If you don't say it, I'll let him carry you. ”

Aji immediately shook his head, knelt in front of Wen Qingzhu, and said with fear and fear: "Madam! He's a night watchman! So familiar with the maze, and able to avoid all the traps perfectly, only the Night Watchman can do it! ”

"He's the Night Watchman?" Wen Qingzhu glanced back at Mao Ren and found that his eyes were very confused.

Aji immediately pointed at the hairy man and shouted, "He is really a night watchman!" I vouch for it with my life! He must be a night watchman! No one has ever seen what the Night Watchman looks like, but they have been! They were all black! Some people have the same hair as he does! ”

"Are you sure?" It's not that Wen Qingzhu doesn't believe Aji, but that Mao Ren is really simple.

According to what she had learned, the Nightwatchmen were extremely cold beings, and they carried out the orders of the priests in strange ways, and they were never heard to have failed.

Naturally, the failed Night Watchman is dead.

Aji climbed in front of Wen Qingzhu and said in horror: "Madam! I won't admit it! It was that night! The Nightwatchman came to our village out of nowhere, and if I hadn't witnessed it in the latrine that day, I wouldn't have known what the Nightwatchman looked like! ”

After a moment of silence, Wen Qingzhu replied: "The Mao people have no malicious intent. ”

"What if he's in disguise!" Aggie still wouldn't believe it.

Wen Qingzhu narrowed his eyes: "No one can escape my eyes, and along the way, I can be sure that he has lived in this mountain for at least ten years." ”

"I don't believe it!" Aggie turned around and knelt to leave.

But Yang Jiu suddenly fell in front of him and looked down at him: "If you don't believe it, you have to believe it!" Since Madame has let you go, she will naturally not let you go. ”

"Madame!" Hu Sen, who had been silent, suddenly walked out.

He looked at poor Aji with pity: "I think what Aji said should be true, doesn't Madame think he is too familiar with this place?" And most of the night watchmen are talented, and the hairy people don't just agree with this condition. ”

"But he's useful to us now." Wen Qingzhu only said this sentence, and the meaning is self-evident.

Hu Sen was silent for a while, and said slowly: "You can't blame Aji for this matter, the reason why he was able to escape that night was because he hid in the dung pit all night, and he saw with his own eyes how the whole village died. ”

After being quiet for a while, Wen Qingzhu turned his head and left a sentence: "You are responsible for watching him from behind." ”

"Thank you, ma'am!" Hussen arched his hand, turned around and helped Aggie to his feet.

After walking for more than an hour, Wen Qingzhu found that the holy stone in the purse began to heat up again.

She suddenly clenched her voice and said in a low voice: "Believe it or not, I smashed you!" ”

I don't know if it's a sense, the heat of the holy stone slowly drops.

Wen Qingzhu then instructed Yang Jiu and them to speed up.

In the middle of the maze, the three Night Watchmen suddenly stopped.

The leader was surprised: "There is no reaction from the Holy Stone again!" ”

"Impossible!" The black cloak on the left said coldly.

The black cloak on the right said in a deep voice, "Can anyone control the holy stone?" ”

The three of them were speechless in an instant, which is even more impossible!

But if not, what could stop the sacred stone?

There was silence for a long time, they couldn't continue to waste time like this.

The leader asked the person on the right: "The eighth decides, we have to give an explanation to the eldest brother about this matter." ”

The black cloak on the right stretched out of his right hand, covered with long black hair, about an inch long.

After moving his fingers and calculating for a while, he pointed in one direction: "Over there!" ”

The other two had no objection, nodded and followed in the direction he pointed.

On the edge of a gloomy cliff, Fu Lie led his men to collect several large bags of black oil.

Everyone had black oil stains on their hands.

The air was filled with a disgusting sour stench, but everyone tried to endure it.

In order to get black oil, you have to keep going down, and on top of the black oil, there are various animal carcasses.

The one that is close to the oil is about to become powder, and it will become one with the rock.

But at the top, there are animal and plant corpses that have only been dead for a few years, and they stink.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a cliff here, Fu Lie and the others would not be able to collect black oil that could burn for a long time with just the tools in their hands.

The forest here is very steamy, and the fire is not easy to ignite, let alone set fire to drive away wolves.

But now that they have this black oil in their hands, not only do they not have to worry about it at night, but they can also burn a safe place.

The sky slowly darkened, Fu Lie chose a tuyere, and then instructed his subordinates to dump black oil at a fixed point.

When night fell, he immediately ordered the black oil to be lit.

It was the end of August, and the night was dark, and they had to get the fire burning as soon as possible.

In less than a quarter of an hour, a fire broke out in front of them, and the fire began to burn and spread downward.

It's slow, but at least it's burning.

The light of the fire slowly rose up, and the thick black smoke rose up, merging with the night.

Wen Qingzhu, who was outside the ten-mile mountain road, suddenly smelled a strong scorching smell.

The hairy man was the first to stop, he quickly climbed the tree, stood at the top of the tree, and looked into the distance.

Bright fires burned in front of them, and their eyes were unhurriedly falling down.

The hairy man quickly climbed down, gestured, and a warning 'ho-ho' sound came from his throat, and his eyes were full of anxiety.

Wen Qingzhu was shocked in his heart, could it be that Fu Lie and the others had already made a move!

"Quick! Go over there! Wen Qingzhu pointed to the direction to the right, and the wind was blowing towards the south.

They had to head north as soon as possible, but they were facing the crater of fire and had to flee first.

Under the leadership of Mao Ren, everyone ran wildly all the way.

But the fire clearly did not spread in one direction.

The smoke soon billowed in, and Wen Qingzhu and the others could also see the fire.

The hairy man stopped suddenly, turned his head and pulled Wen Qingzhu on his back, and by the way, he took Xi'er under his arm, and began to run quickly towards the east.
