Chapter 38 038 Demon (4)
However, this kind of external statement will most likely not have any effect, and the Wang family themselves know it.
Three years ago, the missing cavalry of the Wang family's caravan was said to have been intercepted by monsters, but the real situation was actually known to the Wang family themselves.
In other words, they have always been suspicious of the theory that the caravan was robbed and killed by monsters.
And this time Wang Wu directly brought them the lost silver, which confirmed their suspicions.
After all, if you think about it, you will know that the monsters in this place were swept out by the imperial court decades ago. How could they have escaped again in less than a hundred years and dared to intercept and kill a group of merchants guarded by monks? Team?
Monsters are not leeks. If you cut one this year, another one will grow right away next year.
Moreover, the Bone Forest is not a good place even for monsters. After all, even if you are a monster, you don't like to be neighbors with certain things.
There are monsters in the Dead Soul Mountain, but the monsters there basically never come out. And even if they appear, they are only in the deepest part of the Dead Bone Forest, that is, the area connected to the Dead Soul Mountain.
And those monsters are not so much monsters as they are...
magic.
The place where Wang Wu and the others live is deep in the Forest of Bones, but it's not the deepest part yet, but it's actually not that far from there.
Counting from the dog cave where Wang Wu lived, at his speed, he could reach the deepest part of the Bone Forest at the foot of Dead Soul Mountain in about three hours.
Yes, Wang Wu's cave used to belong to a dog demon, but this dog demon had already entered the belly of someone from Hedong or Hexi County. Later, there was another owner, a tiger demon, but he also died. The basket is probably still soaking in a wine bottle in a certain family.
Monsters eat people, and people eat monsters too.
The transformed monster will reveal its true form after death. As long as it is not part human body and part animal body, it is just a large animal, so of course it can be eaten.
And unlike humans, which are not delicious in monsters' mouths, monsters are very delicious. Even monsters themselves like to eat monsters.
The disappearance of the Wang family's caravan is inseparable from his compatriots, and the monster is just the one who was blamed, although he is not completely blameless.
After all, Zhu Sanniang did kill those people who robbed the Wang family's caravan.
But those boxes were indeed not moved by Spider Sanniang. When Wang Wu was looking for clothes in the corpse pit, he didn't notice any special bones in the corpse pit.
Maybe he really didn't pay attention at the time, but if the monk hired by the Wang family did die there, it was impossible for Spider Sanniang not to notice it.
As a monster, it was obviously impossible for her to miss a monk with human elixir.
Rendan is a good thing. Even Spider Sanniang, who was rich before, has never eaten this stuff. If she had really eaten it, given her temperament, she would definitely have to show it off to herself.
There was something wrong with this matter from beginning to end. Even without Wang Wu bringing the money, the Wang family had been investigating it for the past few years. But unfortunately, they couldn't find anything until Wang Wu arrived.
The monk was nowhere to be seen, but the goods appeared in the pit. This is obviously outrageous.
Due to cost considerations, some goods will definitely not be escorted by monks, nor will they be escorted with space equipment.
But such goods are small in nature, and even a few boxes of silver ingots cannot take up much space. Just ask the monks to use Qiankun Sleeves and equip them with a few bodyguards, and they can travel lightly and concealedly.
After Wang Wu brought the news about the money scam to the Wang family, the Wang family naturally quickly came to a conclusion:
The monk is a traitor.
Even Wang Wu could guess this, let alone the Wang family.
"I heard that the monk who was in charge of escorting the bodyguard was a good friend of Miss Wang?" On the way to the corpse pit, Wang Wu rode closer to Li Yuan and asked.
"Yes, the two of them are still sisters sworn to Jinlan." Li Yuandao said in a rather emotional tone:
"The two were already sisters when the woman was not a monk. They grew up together and have a very good relationship."
"Her parents were once servants of the Wang family. Later they left the Wang family and opened a shop in the city to do business. The Wang family has taken good care of them over the years."
"But later on, I forgot the name of that woman. Her parents got seriously ill, maybe fourteen years ago? They died soon after, and the woman has been alone since then."
"However, the Wang family has always been helping her, so she didn't have to worry about food and clothing. Later, she showed her talent, and it was the Wang family that helped her to enter the Xuan Qing Sect and become a monk."
"Miss Wang cannot cultivate the true Tao, and she is not from a true family like Shaoxia, so she can only cultivate the Gangqi martial arts. However, the relationship between the two has always been very good, and they are like brothers."
"Until three years ago?" Wang Wu asked.
"Until you come here, young hero, and tell me about the corpse pit." Li Yuandao.
"The girl is still engaged to the second young master of the Wang family. The second young master of the Wang family, Miss Wang, and her have grown up together. The second young master and her are still childhood sweethearts."
"After what happened three years ago, the second young master didn't think about food or food all day long. He was bedridden for a long time and almost died for his love."
"Fortunately, he doesn't know the news you brought, Wang Shaoxia, yet." Li Yuan said with emotion, "Otherwise, he might get sick again."
While listening, Wang Wu suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye that Wang Lan's hands in front of him were shaking.
"Have you used sound insulation?" Wang Wu looked at Li Yuan and asked.
"It's broken!" Li Yuan was shocked. But fortunately, as a warrior, Wang Lan is still very strong inside. Well, probably, logically it should be.
All in all, this is just a small episode.
Time soon came to noon. The group had something to eat on the horse. After a short rest, the horse team set off again and accelerated.
The horse started to gallop, its speed increased from the initial speed of fifteen kilometers per hour to twenty-five kilometers per hour, and it was still rising gradually.
"Almost there!!"
Soon, when Wang Wu saw the familiar forest, he shouted, and the cavalry began to accelerate.
It is now noon, which is the time of day when the yang energy is the strongest and almost also the safest.
For now, everything is within the established plan and there is no deviation.
Wang Wu's horse team arrived at the target location at noon when the Yang Qi was the strongest, and then, after waiting for Li Yuan to perform the spell, a group of people entered the Bone Forest and went to the corpse pit to retrieve the Wang family. Lost property.
"Something's wrong."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
But when everyone stopped and started to prepare the layout, and Li Yuan also took out various props to make talismans, Wang Wu suddenly spoke.
Everyone looked at him.
"What's wrong? Young Master Wang?" Wang Lan rode up to Wang Wu and asked. But Wang Wu ignored him and just kept staring at the forest ahead, as if there was something there.
Everyone followed his gaze and looked towards the forest.
Even under the daylight at noon, the Forest of Bones is still gloomy, and some white figures can be vaguely seen wandering in the forest.
Some were wandering aimlessly, while others were standing under the trees. Although they couldn't see their faces, they could feel that they were looking at this side.
Li Yuan also stared there for a while and cast his magic eye at the same time, but except for some wandering ghosts and corpses, there was nothing there.
There are no monsters, no demons, and no ghosts.
So, he withdrew his gaze, looked at Wang Wu, who looked increasingly solemn, and said with a smile: "They are just some wandering souls, and Brother Wang doesn't have to be like this..."
But at this moment, Wang Wu's expression suddenly changed and he became horrified. Then, he shouted loudly: "Fuck!! Get out! Get out!!!! Quick!!!!!!"< br>
"Quick!!!! What the hell are you doing standing still?!? Go quickly!!!!"
After speaking, Wang Wu stopped explaining and directly clamped the horse's belly and kicked the horses of Wang Lan and Li Yuan on the left and right, "Let's go!!!"
The horses under the three of them screamed in surprise, instantly rushed out of the cavalry, and ran towards the distance.
"Hey——"
Hee hee hee, haha, haha——"
At this time, shortly after Wang Wu issued the reminder, everyone heard it. Another voice besides Wang Wu’s urging:
It seems like smiling but not laughing, like crying but not crying.
"Don't look back! Don't even look back!! Run!!!"
Wang Wu pulled the horse's mane, and the horse felt pain under his crotch. He immediately accelerated and rushed towards the direction where the people came from.
Immediately after him, everyone present reacted immediately after hearing the sound. Everyone is not a novice, so they naturally know what to do.
Everyone mobilized their mounts, accelerated to the extreme in an instant, and followed Wang Wu in the direction of Hedong County.
Behind them, about two kilometers away, a huge human head slowly flew out of the Bone Forest.
The face of the human head was like a paper doll, bright red and white, which made people panic.
But it also has a pair of human eyes, with the upper and lower eyelids flipping open as if violently opened, revealing a whole eyeball inside.
The eyeballs are dark, but if you look carefully, you seem to be able to see something swimming inside.
It came outside the forest, its two black eyeballs turning left and right, and then quickly locked onto the horse team galloping on the official road.
"Hee...ah - hee hee, hahaha..."
It laughed and flew over there.
Monsters and monsters, this is a ghost.
