Chapter 187 Leaving (1st update)
Song Gu said: “Always put the overall situation first.”
Wu Chen thought for a while and then said: “You have received the official’s order. Let’s see if the officials mentioned the Taoist priests from Sanqing Temple or Yuan Tianshi going to Longgu Mountain. If not..."
Wu Chen did not continue.
Yu Shian and Song Gu looked at each other. The two did not speak. They both knew in their hearts that the news about the haunting in Laojie Mountain could be spread, but the news about practicing ghosts could not be spread. Now that they know this The only people left were Wu Chen, Yu Shian, Song Gu, Gao Er and Yu Shian's personal soldiers.
The soldiers just followed along, scared to death, and didn't know the whole story. What about the others? It would be okay if Yuan Tianshi or other Taoist priests only participated in catching ghosts, but how could there be only ghosts in Longgu Mountain? What will happen if too many people know?
It’s all in the official mind.
Yu Shi'an advised:
"I think it is not easy to find Yuan Tianshi. People all over the world don't know where he is. I have never seen this person in so many years. Even if I find him , only officials can use him, he is not really a god, Wherever the officials ordered him to go, he could arrive in the blink of an eye. Maybe he couldn't be found even after the matter was settled. As for the Taoist priests of Sanqingguan, it's not that I despise them, and it's useless to look for them, so I can't judge based on their participation. The official’s wishes.”
No one said anything.
The room was quiet for a moment, and Wu Chen suddenly raised his head and said, "It's time for me to go."
Yu Shi'an and Song Gu just wanted to ask if the second year of high school is back? Then I heard hurried footsteps in the yard.
The second year of high school students opened the door and said:
“It’s not wrong this time. They arrived in Yu County first, with three carriages and a dozen people escorting them on horseback, heading southeast. It was late at night, and there were not many people seen. There was a farmer in Yu County, and a husband and wife I haven’t seen anyone for a few days. I think they took them away and then went to Liangcheng. A farmer in Liangcheng also disappeared, but it was a long way to go..."
The second year of high school said as he picked up the teapot on the table. He took a few sips from the spout and then said:
"They arrived in Liangcheng five days ago. They didn't dare to leave during the day. Judging from the time, they set off after we closed the mountain."
"This is because they saw the result they wanted, and they felt relieved. Get on the road." Yu Shi'an said calmly.
Song Gu asked: "Then where will they stay after leaving the cave? Will there be any...monsters left there?"
Wu Chen shook his head and said:
" There shouldn't be anything left behind. Those things are treasures to them. How could they leave them so easily? There's no point in leaving them behind. They even thought that Su Chang only wanted them to bring one each, but they tried their best to bring more. In their opinion, after the five hundred soldiers were killed this time, Laojie Mountain must no longer be used... I am more worried. Yes, have those books been copied by them and taken with them? Ancient books are not as useful as Su Chang’s notes.”
Song Gu and Yu Shian nodded at the same time.
Wu Chen stood up and looked at Big Tou who was sitting on the edge of the bed with his head lowered. He sighed and said:
"Brother Big Tou, you can stay here to eat every day. Follow me. We have to travel day and night. You also heard that we are several days behind them. We need to be on the horse all day long and have nothing to eat but pancakes..."
"I know, I'm just a little worried." Datou. He said with his head hanging down.
Wu Chen's heart skipped a beat and asked, "Do you think I'm... in danger this time?"
"It's hard to say." Datou raised his head and looked at Wu Chen seriously.
Wu Chen frowned. He couldn't get closer to Yang'an County if he caught up with him this time. If Datou sensed danger again, he would have to rush to warn him.
Thinking of yourself lying in a pool of blood, even if you are not dead, you can't recreate it after the blood is gone, and you can only lie weakly in bed for the rest of your life, with no money in your hand. It is a fantasy to complete the mission and go back. !
Wu Chen hesitated. He knew the urgency and importance of catching up immediately, but Big Tou's attitude made him fearful. He would not even be able to stand up in the future, and he had to sacrifice nothing!
Yu Shian spent the past two days asking about Wu Chen with the soldiers who followed him up the mountain. When he took the time, he even murmured privately with the sophomore in high school, and then he also knew the magic of Big Head. He knew that the day Wu Chen fell into the illusion, Big Head Zeng rushed up the mountain regardless of his own safety, as if he could predict something.
Seeing that Wu Chen was so entangled, Yu Shian came up with an idea and said, "How about this? I'll send troops to drive carriages and follow you with big heads. Although they can't walk as fast as you, they won't be far away. Really, it doesn't matter. He can't get over it for a while, but the soldier can!"
The big head immediately jumped up and asked: "In the carriage, maybe you can bring some food?"
Wu Chen felt that this was also a solution. If something happened, he would ask the soldiers to rush over and warn him. It was too late, so he couldn't help but click He nodded, but how to ensure the safety of Datou?
The second year of high school students seemed to know what Wu Chen was thinking, and said hurriedly: "I will pick a few skilled soldiers to follow, and with Deputy Yu's soldiers, I think there will be no problem."
< br>Wu Chen took a deep breath, clasped his fists towards Yu Shian and Song Gu and said, "Then let's say goodbye, see you later!"
...
Wu Chen and the sophomore class galloped ahead, but unexpectedly they didn’t bring anyone with them.
Da Tou was sitting in a carriage, being escorted and followed by more than a dozen soldiers and guards on horseback. It didn’t take long before he could no longer see the dust raised by Wu Chen and the second year of high school riding.
Yu Shi'an and Song Gu arrived at the city gate. Seeing the group of people walking away, Yu Shi'an whispered to Song Gu: "Wu Chen doesn't know the luck of this trip, but if he fights with those eight people, there will be no one around him. Others saw..."
Yu Shian did not finish his words.
Song Gu naturally understood the meaning of Yu Shi'an's words. The reason why he asked Yu Shi'an to follow him up the mountain without Wu Chen's consent was because of this meaning. Laojie Mountain is inherently weird. When encountering anything, just rely on it. How can their two mouths convince others?
Now Wu Chen is afraid that the lives of others will be in danger, so he only takes high school students with him. They know this is the reason, but what about those who don’t know? Even if the two of them help to speak in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain clearly.
Song Gu thought for a while and said: "I have thought about this before. At this point, none of us can shirk the blame. We can only bite the bullet and go on. When the official order comes, I will catch up! We can’t let him do the hard work alone and be burdened with all kinds of suspicions!”
Yu Shianchang! He sighed and said, "This matter is no different than others. If I hadn't followed along all the way and seen with my own eyes how Wu Chen dealt with it, and I only knew that Wu Chen could see ghosts, was not afraid of illusions, and could destroy Su Chang's more than ten years of hard work, I would I will also advise the officials to kill him as soon as possible."
Song Gu stopped and stared at Yu Shian.
"Oh, I mean, if I didn't follow... the officials didn't follow."
"No, I will catch up now. Wu Chen must not be able to handle this matter alone. There must be someone I have someone by my side who can explain things to the officials..." (End of Chapter)
