Chapter 586: Cave Mountain

Chu Xunyu followed the insect repellent who was full of earthy smell, and came all the way to the back mountain col, and sure enough, as he expected, the Mu family hired someone to dig something here, and the Mu family took the drawings to supervise the work here, so he already had a plan in his heart, and was ready to find an opportunity to smooth out the drawings, and then he could understand what they were doing.

Suddenly, Chu Xunyu's instinct for no reason turned his head, this reaction was honed from the war period, and he had a heartfelt feeling of the crisis, Chu Xunyu looked back with some surprise, and found that there was a praying mantis on the trunk of the big tree he was leaning on, less than an inch away from his cheek, he didn't feel strange, he looked at it, and then he reacted, it turned out that there was a bright red on the head of this praying mantis, which was the "insect whistle" of the insect repellent maker.

Chu Xunyu once heard this kind of rumor during the war, it is said that the corpse chasers in Hunan have their own lineage, belonging to the background of the semi-"Taoist" family, more similar to the shaman of the Northeast Jumping God, it seems that there is a bit of "witch" in it, good at driving the dead and animals, which is a bit like the snake repellents in southern Xinjiang, and very similar to Maoshan alchemy, so they have a lot of side door characteristics mixed in, so they are unique in the rivers and lakes. Acting strangely and in an obscure manner, over time they also extended to other branches, and this insect repellent was one of them, in addition to "repelling" insects, they could also "drive" insects, and all insects or animals they drove had a bright red on the top of their heads, like blood.

This is an extremely strange and practical means, and it is not an unfathomable cultivation method, so don't underestimate mortals, there is a saying: "The world does not boast of high means, and the overlord also has the end of the road", this is the truth that Chu Xunyu experienced in the war with his life, the cultivator is not a lofty existence at all, as long as he gets the essentials, mortals can also kill the cultivator, otherwise this vast land of Shenzhou has long been the world of the cultivator, and if mortals can survive, there is naturally a reason.

After the mortal can kill the cultivator, look at the front first, because the insect repellent is doing a shady job, so he drove other insects to hide in the gaps of the trees to act as a secret whistle, so the rivers and lakes are called "insect whistles" , Chu Xunyu immediately made a decision, immediately moved his mind, his feet were slightly off the ground, and his body was suspended in the air, he knew that these insects could not be touched or killed, otherwise once they were killed, the red on the top of the head would emit a strange smell, which attracted the attention of other insect whistles around him, and woke up the insect repellent maker, it was Chu Xunyu who followed, if it was replaced by Mu Yuan, what would he do, he would have already startled the snake.

Chu Xunyu knew that it was without further ado, so he waved his hand and pinched an ordinary "wind" word, and a mountain wind hit for no reason, blowing straight sand and stones, the dust on the surrounding mountain walls was scattered, and it was difficult for people to open their eyes, and the camp of the insect repellent was suddenly in chaos, and all the people who were still asleep were awakened, and the wind and sand lost their eyes for a while.

Chu Xunyu secretly called out the word "good", and was ready to fly over silently and take advantage of the chaos to take the drawings by hand, but he didn't want to be in the wind and sand, and the man who came to supervise the work of the Mu family actually stuffed the drawings into his arms for the first time, and then squatted down to avoid the wind, which was really unexpected, but it proved Chu Xunyu's idea even more, they were digging something important.

This plan didn't work, Chu Xunyu had no choice but to press his temperament and continue to peep from the side, but he didn't want to have an unexpected gain, but seeing that the wind and sand outside were small at this time, the man who supervised the Mu family said to the fat man: "Since everyone is awake, let's work, anyway, it's already evening now, and it will be dark in a short time, it doesn't make a difference if you are early or late, you can finish early and rest early." ”

The fat man looked left and right, and the insect repellent under his command got up from the ground one by one scolding, shouting that the mountain wind was not the right time, which shocked the good dreams of the masters, and the fat man stretched out his hand and replied in the official dialect with a Hunan accent: "There are problems with work, but you have to add money to start work early." ”

"Then add it, money is not an issue. As soon as the overseer man stretched out his hand and took out a silver ticket, his big arm turned out to be a full hundred taels, "This money is extra for you, as long as you can finish it early." ”

The fat man's eyes lit up when he saw the silver ticket, and he immediately took it and shouted: "Everyone is working, the uncle of the Mu family is quite generous, this silver ticket can top us three times, don't be sleepy, it's light." ”

There is a saying that "money can make ghosts grind", this white silver is more effective than any elixir of Taishang Laojun, and those insect repellent craftsmen immediately came to the momentum when they saw that they were so generous, and they were no longer noisy, and they directly picked up the guy to "pass the light". The word "Tongguang" is also a black word on the rivers and lakes, all those who dig the cave ridge are called "Tongguang", because digging the ground, the light will naturally be channeled, and over time, this has become the "Jianghu mouth" that this line of work should avoid the government's investigation.

Those people lifted the rags piled up on the ground, revealing a big hole, Chu Xunyu had extraordinary eyesight, looked carefully, the traces around the hole were so neat, these people deserved to be good at breaking the wall of the cave mountain, the shovel mark cut was angular, smooth and smooth, such a hole is not a problem for two people to go down, what is it that is buried in it, which provoked the Mu family to spend a lot of money to invite this group of skilled insect repellent craftsmen from Hunan to come here?

Speaking kung fu, the four people who have already put down the rope continue to dig, looking at the length of the rope, Chu Xunyu couldn't help but be secretly surprised, this depth is at least dozens of zhang, the other people above the entrance of the cave keep putting down the basket, from time to time there will be dug up loose soil to hang up and fall to the side, every once in a while, it will go down again two people to replace the two inside, and the replaced person will not care about the others, directly take out some medicine and juice from the package he carries and smear it on his body, it is estimated that the deworming power of the underground body is exhausted, so he immediately replaces it.

This is a long insight for Chu Xunyu, Chu Xunyu has never seen an insect repellent working before, this time it is really an eye-opener, about a tea time, when Chu Xunyu was looking at it, the man of the Mu family happened to talk to the fat man on it, only to hear him ask: "Is your craftsmanship good, don't dig in the wrong direction, it stands to reason that you should find something when you dig today." ”

"You can rest assured. The fat man shook his hand while smoking a dry cigarette, "As long as you provide the right paper, we will not dig up the wrong one, and we will wait patiently." ”

"Okay. The man of the Mu family nodded, then kept silent, staring at the entrance of the cave with a frown.

Watching the sun gradually set in the west, I suddenly heard an exclamation from inside the cave, and then all the insect repellent workers who pulled the rope at the entrance of the cave were pulling the rope violently, and someone shouted: "Step on the thin ice!"

Chu Xunyu's spirit was shocked, "stepping on thin ice" refers to encountering trouble, crossing the river and walking on the ice in winter, there is always a time when you are unlucky, stepping into the ice hole, and the rivers and lakes generally refer to bad luck and big trouble.

The fat man over there was very calm, knocked on the cigarette pouch and scolded: "Isn't it just a little insect monster, called the impostor, all pick up the guy and drag it out to get it!"

At this moment, a fishy wind came from the cave......
