1120 The night road.
Dangqing mountain.
The remaining veins.
The night was low, and a mountain village built near a cliff was brightly lit.
A group of strong and fierce-looking bandits walked around with their weapons and bows in their hands. They ordered the slaves and servants to pack up and prepare to move.
In the midst of the chaos, a young Bandit scratched his face and shouted at his slaves to speed up. After a while, he looked around and made sure that no one was paying attention to him. Then he went to his companions and asked in a low voice,”Brother GUI, why would the chief let us leave at night?”
“It’s so troublesome in this dark.”
The bandit called brother GUI laughed and smacked the young Bandit on the head, causing him to stagger.”You can think of it, but chief can’t?”
we’re not some small characters from the Green Village. We’re not going to make a fool out of ourselves in broad daylight.
At this moment, in the main hall of the village, three muscular and sinister-looking bandits were topless. They were standing under an ancient god statue and wiping their weapons.
A few tall bandits walked in and bowed. “Greetings to the three Chiefs.”
The leader in the middle didn’t even raise his head and asked,”The carriage is here?”
“Yes, we’ve already found them. There’s even a bed in the carriage …” The bandits replied.
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by the leader, ” “Then let’s do it, quickly move this thing up.”
“Yes!” The bandits agreed and immediately stepped forward. They cupped their fists towards the statue and moved it out of the shrine in a flurry. They placed it on a simple and crude green felt carriage outside.
Then, they found a hemp rope and tied the statue firmly to prevent it from falling out of the carriage due to the bumpy road.
After packing up, he went back to the main hall to report.
The three leaders had no intention of checking it. After all, this statue was passed down from their ancestors. The elders had been constantly reminding them to worship it and to bring it along once they moved.
Therefore, now that they were moving, although they brought the statue, they didn’t want to spend too much effort on it.
After a while, the three of them finished cleaning their weapons, checked their belongings, and put on their outer robes. The chief tied his belt and ordered, ” “Let’s go and see how the children are doing.”
“It’s getting late, time to go.”
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the village was ablaze with fire. The bandits of the Qing village were on their way to the Yan Hui Valley.
The night wind whimpered, and the burning aura behind him gradually faded away. The cold aura unique to the night gradually invaded.
The first, second, and third leaders rode on their horses, surrounded by the bandits. They walked at the front of the group, while the carriage carrying the statue was pulled by two of the oldest Fuma, falling at the back.
While monitoring the progress of the team, the three of them chatted in low voices.”The mayor of Li Jiao city is too fatuous and tyrannical. The official road has collapsed for so long, but he didn’t even repair it!”
as a result, the caravan changed its route three years ago, and we have no income for a long time. We have no choice but to attack the surrounding villages and towns.
“That fatuous official should be killed!”
“The villages and towns like dangqing mountain are all extremely poor.” The second-in-command shook his head and sighed. what profit? Our brothers all need to eat, so we have to move now.”
otherwise, we’ve been operating here for many years. Just this stronghold alone has cost us a lot of manpower, material resources, and effort. How can we bear to give it up? ”
&Nbsp; the leader raised his head and looked at the night sky, consoling, ” “Don’t be so dejected. As the saying goes, the new won’t come if the old doesn’t go. I’ve already ordered people to investigate the returning Goose Valley we’re going to. There’s also a water route in addition to the official road.”
“There are many fat sheep and caravans in the past.”
after we go, as long as we can stand firm, we will definitely be able to rise to the next level and live a better life than before!
“However, the troops that are going from there are a mix of good and bad. We have to be more open.”
“There are some tough guys that can’t be provoked.”
for example, the chief of the fu Yuan escort agency is a first-class expert. He can kill all three of us by himself.
“Don’t worry, big brother,” the second head immediately said,”who in the underworld doesn’t know chief escort Lu?” Why would they have any ideas about the fu Yuan escort agency?”
“The real trouble is probably those unknown experts.”
&Nbsp; the third head laughed evilly and said, ” it doesn’t matter. If we can’t do it directly, we’ll just drug them.
if not, we can open a brothel at the foot of the mountain as a spy. If it’s a young master who has just entered the Jianghu, we can use both soft and hard tactics to trick him into joining us. In this way, no matter how skilled he is, won’t he become one of our people? ”
“We’ll talk about this after we’ve settled down in the wild Goose Valley,” said the great master. Sigh, the world is getting worse and worse, even us bandits are having a hard time making a living.”
“Isn’t that so?” The second-in-command said with emotion, ” I remember that when we went down the mountain ten years ago, we were always carrying gold and silver. What rare treasures have we not seen? ”
“Big bowls of wine, big chunks of meat, big scales of gold … This is the life a good man should Live!”
“It’s been getting worse and worse these years …”
“When we reach the Wild Goose Valley, we must do our best!”
As the three of them chatted, they suddenly realized that their surroundings were getting quieter and quieter.
The chirping of insects, the night wind, the chirping of birds … All the sounds of nature had disappeared without a trace.
There was only the sound of footsteps and the monotonous and gloomy sound of horse hooves hitting the mountain road echoing in the forest.
It was as if everything in the world had died at this moment, and they were the only ones walking through this place alone. It was so quiet that it made people’s hearts palpitate.
Gradually, the three of them felt that something was wrong.
They had already explored this path during the day, but now it was becoming more and more unfamiliar.
On both sides of the road, wild grass and trees grew. It was a desolate and unfamiliar sight, one that he had never seen before. Moreover, the marks left in the day had all disappeared!
Did he take the wrong path?
Thinking of this, the great master immediately ordered, ” “Stop!”
The team did not hesitate and immediately stopped.
&Nbsp; the chief head called the person who scouted the path during the day and asked, ” “Where is this place?”
The man looked at the completely unfamiliar environment around him, swallowed his saliva, and said with difficulty, ” “I, I don’t know …”
Shua!
The chief head raised his hand and chopped down, killing him on the spot. He said coldly, ” “Trash!”
turn around and go back! he ordered.
“Yes!” The bandits immediately replied.
After a short commotion, the group began to change direction and headed back the way they came from.
“Tap, tap, tap …”
Not long after the crowd left, on the dark path, the corpse that the great master had hacked to death suddenly moved. It quickly rolled over and climbed up. It walked stiffly towards the group.
The night wind whistled, and the burning torches kept shaking, casting flickering shadows.
An hour later, the group of bandits stopped again.
The three heads ‘expressions were not very good. As they walked back, the road became more and more unfamiliar!
They had no idea where they were now!
“Big brother, what do we do now?” The second head took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, ” the road ahead and behind is wrong. We must have walked into a fork just now.
this place is too unfamiliar … the third head frowned. it’s best to find a local to ask if there are any houses nearby.
The second head shook his head and said,”we’ve already walked so far just now and didn’t see a single person.” Also, it doesn’t look like there’s anyone nearby.”
“What do we do now?” the third head asked. Should we move forward or backward?”
&Nbsp; the chief head frowned and thought for a moment, ” we’ll turn around again, but it’s still an unfamiliar place. Let’s continue moving forward.
“I don’t believe that we haven’t even met a single family along the way!”
The second leader and third leader both nodded. “Alright!”
&Nbsp; thus, the leader ordered, ” continue forward.
After a short pause, the team set off again. The flickering fire illuminated the confused faces.
Under the night sky, the starry torches were like a huge millipede that slowly wriggled through the forest.
Another period of time passed, and the bandits still didn’t see any houses. Instead, they walked further and further into the remote area, and the vegetation around them grew lustier. It was clear that there were few people.
The surrounding temperature continued to drop, and Yin Qi dispersed. On the ground, gray-black frost and snow appeared, as if they had come to the territory of no living person.
The three heads felt that things were getting more and more strange. Just as they were hesitating whether to continue forward, a figure seemed to have appeared in front of them.
However, under the night sky, they could only make out a vague outline with the illumination of the torches.
The three heads were immediately overjoyed. The head immediately said, ” “Go over and ask for directions!”
The team immediately sped up and approached the figure.
“Xiao Lulu …”
However, at this moment, the horses they were on all stopped and revealed irritated expressions.
Just as the three heads were feeling puzzled, in the blink of an eye, their steeds became strangely quiet and silently advanced.
Thus, the group continued to move forward, their speed getting faster and faster.
In front of them, the blurry and dark figure had been standing in the same place, not moving at all.
However, no matter how fast the team sped up, they could not get close to the figure.
The distance between the two sides had never seemed to close!
Gradually, everyone began to feel that something was wrong.
&Nbsp; the leader immediately tightened the reins and wanted to stop, but the Mount didn’t react and continued forward.
His expression changed, and he was about to say something, but immediately after, he heard the second and third heads beside him exclaim at the same time, ” “The horse is not listening to me!”
“The Mount is possessed!”
The great master felt his scalp tingle for no reason when he heard that. He immediately replied without any hesitation,”Stop! Turn back immediately!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the bandits saw the scene in front of them change. The figure who had been standing in front of them had disappeared. In the vast wilderness, a lonely grave stood alone, a wordless tombstone quietly standing.
