Chapter 66: What happened to Xiao Wu

They climbed towards the nearest mountain.

Xiao Wu is the highest kung fu among the four, and it is natural to explore the way in front of the head. He unsheathed the long sword at his waist and struck it in the knee-high grass, and countless pheasants and hares were disturbed and flew out.

The mountain road is very narrow, and on the way, there are occasionally colorful poisonous snakes lying lazily on the rocks. Seeing their hearts pounding, they were all on guard and detouring when they passed. lest it be alarmed.

The four of them looked around left and right, their eyes were bright, but looking at it, here, in addition to the fresh air and beautiful scenery, although there were several caves along the way, they were all dark and damp, and the grass and moss were dense, and they really didn't look like people who could live there.

Xiao Wu and the others gossiped as they walked, and slowly chatted to Yang Dezhao, who lived in such an inaccessible and uninhabited place. I really don't know how to think about it......

After trekking all the way up, they finally came to the halfway point of the mountain, at this time, the sky was already dark, they found a sheltered cave and built a bonfire, Xiao Wu walked outside the cave, ready to hunt two prey to fill his stomach.

Xiao Wu came outside with a long sword, the sky was already dark, and the sky was shining with a little starlight. A waning moon hung for half a day, scattering a piece of silver and white.

He touched his deflated belly and walked forward with his legs raised, his body disappearing into the darkness......

After a long time, he carried the two roe deer and hurried back, and when he was not far from the cave, a terrible scream suddenly came from the cave.

Something happened!

He threw down his prey and ran into the cave.

Before he could arrive, the screams rang out again, this time Zhao Si's voice.

He flew back anxiously, but his heart slowly sank.

What's going on?

As he approached the entrance of the cave, he slowed down and crept closer to the entrance.

He is not a fool, although he is the only one of the four who has the highest martial arts, but he is only one step higher, if he is still sure of dealing with one of them, and the three of them are the same, he can only run away. Now, they may all have encountered an unfortunate enemy, an enemy that they can't deal with together, even if they add him, it won't help.

He decided to see what was going on.

He crept close to the cave, and poked his head out to peek into the cave.

The sight of the cave made him so frightened that he almost screamed, and he covered his mouth in time...... Under the reflection of the bonfire, there was a miserable scene in the cave, Zhao Si and they were lying on the ground covered in blood, and there was a fat man with a fierce face sitting next to the bonfire, holding a bloody arm in his hand and gnawing, and his sharp teeth were shining like a blade. Blood trickled down the corners of his mouth, staining the placket red.

This cruel scene made Xiao Wu fall into an ice cellar, his body was extremely stiff, and his teeth couldn't stop chattering.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, the fat man stopped biting, pricked up his ears, and shrugged his nose to sniff in the air. Maybe it was because the cave was full of the smell of blood, so he couldn't catch Xiao Wu's breath.

Oops! It's going to be discovered! Xiao Wu's heart was cold, and he held his breath when he landed, so nervous that his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

He tiptoed back, farther and farther away from the hole......

He ran down the mountain in a panic, and as he was leaving, he looked back, and the surroundings were dark, and the cave was full of red light, like the mouth of a giant beast that wanted to devour......

The thorns along the road cut through his trouser legs, and blood flowed from his calves.

He ran all the way, and the desire to escape triumphed over hunger and pain.

When he really came to the foot of the mountain, he let out a long breath, and his dull eyes finally had a hint of anger, although his face was still a little pale. But the heart that was beating wildly slowly returned to stability.

Xiao Wu came to a dense forest on the side of the road, and the horses they rode during the day were tied to the forest.

After a while, he took a tall horse out of the forest and came to the road, flew on the horse, and with his legs in the belly of the horse, the horse neighed, and spread its hooves and galloped away.

Sitting on the horse, he recalled the tragic situation in the cave, and his heart was afraid,

Zhao Si and the others were eaten by monsters, but fortunately he was not in the cave at the time, so he was not with them, otherwise...... The cool breeze blew in the night, and he couldn't help but shiver.

Dakong Mountain is so dangerous! No wonder the two groups of people who had inquired about the news before him did not go back...... Although he survived, he didn't find the Yunzhan Cave, so how could he make a deal when he went back? However, if he wanted to go to Dakong Mountain again, he would not dare to go to death.

In this way, he wandered around Dakong Mountain, neither daring to return to Yejiazhuang nor going deep into Dakong Mountain again.

Caught in a dilemma!

Until he saw Zeng Qian's group, I don't know why, maybe he was ashamed, or scared, his first reaction was to turn around and flee, unwilling to meet them.

...... After listening to Xiao Wu's story, "What kind of monster eats people, it's just nonsense!" Zeng Qian was furious, and pulled out his sword and put it next to Xiao Wu's neck.

"The old man spares his life! How dare the little one deceive the master, what he said is the truth, there are indeed monsters!" Xiao Wu was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

"You really didn't lie to me?" Zeng Qianhu wondered. Looking at Xiao Wu's appearance, it doesn't look like he's lying.

"The little one dares to swear to the sky! If he tells half a lie, let me thunder and thunder in the sky, and I won't die well!"

"This ...... To put it this way...... Are there really monsters in the world?" Zeng Qian's face began to turn pale. He has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has seen a lot of things, and he has vaguely heard about fairies, devils and monsters, but he has never really seen it. Therefore, he always thought that these were rumors made up by fools and fools, and he didn't believe them from the bottom of his heart.

Now, Xiao Wu's words are convincing, gambling and vowing, and his three views are beginning to collapse!

There is such a danger in the Great Sky Mountain, it is simply rampant with demons and monsters, so Yang Dezhao can live there, but I am afraid that it is also a monster or something. They rushed to save people this time...... Isn't that too presumptuous?

Ye Qing had different expressions on their faces, and their expressions were complicated.

Fortunately, Zeng Qian is also an old man, and after the shock, he slowly regained his composure.

"I see, such a tragic thing happened, why don't you come back and report it?"

"This ...... This ...... "little five-language stopper." He was naturally embarrassed to say that little bit of caution.

"What, this, that. Zeng Qian frowned slightly. Xiao Wu's little bit of caution he didn't understand, but seeing that he looked panicked, his eyes were blank, obviously he was overly frightened, and he looked pitiful, and he didn't care about it. Immediately waved his hand, "Forget it, there's nothing for you here, you better hurry back to Zhuangzi." ”

Xiao Wu saw that the owner of the village did not blame him, and his heart suddenly relaxed, and after kowtowing to say goodbye, he ran away.

Zeng Qian shook his head helplessly, and said to Ye Qing: "Virtuous nephew, it seems that this trip is very dangerous, so don't go." ”

"What about you, teacher?" said Yuan Guihan.

"I, hey, I'm an old bone, even if I lose it in the Great Sky Mountain. Zeng Qian smiled freely.

"Why did Uncle Shi say such a thing, it's about the little junior sister, how can we let you go to danger alone...... Could it be that in your eyes, we are the kind of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death!" Ye Qingzheng said.

"Haha. The virtuous nephew misunderstood, how could he be greedy for life and afraid of death from Autumn Leaf Villa, but now ......"

"Don't say any more! Uncle Shi, we won't go back...... Brothers, do you say yes!" Ye Qing turned back and shouted to the knights around him.

"The owner is right, we won't go back!"

"Yes, old owner, don't persuade anymore, if we don't rescue Miss Ye, we will not give up!"

The knights chattered and patted their chests in reassurance.

These knights were all scattered in the rivers and lakes before they were recruited by the Autumn Leaves Villa, and they loved to be competitive and competitive, and they walked on the rivers and lakes on weekdays with righteousness as the first, and life and death on both sides. Even if you don't want to, for the sake of face, you won't show weakness in your mouth.

And so the people were united...... Well, on the surface, it's like we're united.

Zeng Qian was immediately moved, his eyes were red, and he almost burst into tears.

...... They rested in this village for the night, recuperated their spirits, and after daybreak, after dinner, they set off again and ran towards Dakong Mountain.

Not long after walking, I happened to meet Taixuan halfway.

Zeng Qian and they flew past Taixuan, and they should have had nothing to do with Taixuan. However, Zeng Qian has been cultivating his mind since he withdrew from the rivers and lakes, and he has become a lot more benevolent, and he looks at Taixuan and is also heading towards Dakong Mountain. Afraid that the other party would not know the horror of Dakong Mountain, he deliberately turned around and persuaded Taixuan to stop.

It was this trace of kindness in his heart that made Taixuan have a good impression of him, so he opened Chrysostom to persuade Zeng Qian.

How could Zeng Qian not know the danger this time, when he heard Xiao Wu's description, he felt that this time he was afraid that he would be more auspicious, and Ye Sheng couldn't help it. With his temperament, he had no choice but to retreat.

"Why are you so troubled, you know that there are tigers in the mountains ahead, why do you want to go to the tiger mountains. Taixuan persuaded bitterly.

"I understand the kindness of the Taoist chief, but Ye Sheng's niece fell into the hands of that wicked person and didn't know what kind of torture she was enduring in the hands of that wicked person. How can I bear it? Speaking of this, Zeng Qian smiled bitterly.

Taixuan nodded, "Your Excellency is really affectionate and righteous, which is so admirable." ”

"Where, I have no choice but to do it, since the Dao Master already knows the danger ahead, let's go back quickly, don't go any further...... So, say goodbye. I hope that I will have the opportunity to meet the Taoist again in the future. With that, Zeng turned the horse's head and prepared to leave.

"Will there be a date later?" Tai Xuan shook his head.

At this time, Yuan Guihan came from the front to beat his horse, and before he could get to the front, he shouted loudly: "Teacher, what's the matter, the brothers have been waiting in front for a long time, is something wrong?"

"Ahh Zeng sneaked a horse to meet Yuan Guihan.

Zeng Qian and Yuan Guihan walked side by side, and when they left, they glanced back at Taixuan. I faintly saw that Taixuan had a mysterious smile on his face......

The group finally came to the foot of Dakong Mountain, looking at the vast Cangshan Mountain, the mountain is high and the road is steep. Several peaks reach into the sky, and white clouds wander on the mountainside. The green hills are faint, the scenery is beautiful, and the dangers hidden in the mountains are also prohibitive.

They turned over and dismounted, straightened their robes and blades, "Teacher, this big empty mountain is so vast, where is the Yunzhan Cave?"

Zeng Qian was also very distressed, and raised his eyes to look, "I don't know where it is, let's look for it while walking." ”

"Well, that's it. Ye Qing nodded in agreement.

Zeng Qian was the first to walk into the mountain, and Ye Qing and the others followed.

Yuan Guihan walked a few steps and came to the front of Zeng Qian, "Teacher, let's go ahead." ”

Zeng Qian knew that the apprentice was worried about his own safety, and he was relieved.
