"What?! Didn't you look around?"
"Looking! We searched around the old temple separately, but we didn't see anyone. We didn't dare to go out in the mountains before dawn. I can only look for people along the usual trails or places with footprints, but I still can't find them." An old man frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Are there any wild beast tracks around?"
"That's not true. Wild animals in the Western Mountains usually don't go past the old temple. We didn't find anyone, so we planned to go down the mountain. Passing by the second ridge, we found many traces of entering the mountain. Brother Shanhe took us to follow them. I followed the footsteps and found that there were many people at Erling Pinggu. They had set up an altar there!"
After saying that, he took a deep breath, "We don't know what they are doing, Brother Shanhe said. , They seem to be looking for something in the mountains."
"Is the loud noise in the mountains related to them?"
"I don't know, we were about to go down the mountain when the earthquake shook the ground. I almost lost my life."
"It's broken!" Gao Shusheng said to himself, and hurriedly called to the people next to him: "Hurry up and find Shanhe, and be careful, don't be impulsive, and keep people here. Keep an eye on him over there and let him go find Sophora japonica."
Uncle Laozu couldn't help but stand up with his crutches, looking serious: "They foreigners don't understand the rules of the old temple in the mountains at all. If you anger the mountain god, our whole village will suffer.”
When everyone heard this, they were filled with indignation and cursed.
"No wonder Sister-in-law Huaihua said that there was a big disaster in the village. We were still thinking that it was our own family that caused the trouble. Now, look, it is outsiders who caused the trouble!"
"Li Zheng, uncle from the old clan. , you guys should come up with a solution quickly."
Gao Shusheng was also worried, "Why are they all coming to our village all of a sudden?"
The old uncle on the side suddenly fell silent, his turbid old eyes narrowed slightly. , seems to be thinking of something old.
The surrounding villagers were talking a lot, and Gao Shusheng noticed something strange on the face of the old uncle.
"Uncle Laozu, what are you always thinking about?"
"I am thinking that Sophora japonica has always said that the crisis in Gaojia Village requires the help of noble people to resolve it."
When Gao Shusheng heard this, he hurriedly raised his hand to stop everyone's noise. Seeing this, the other villagers shut up and looked at the two people without knowing why.
Gao Shusheng tried hard to recall the words that Sophora japonica repeatedly chanted before entering the mountain...
Uncle Laozu raised his head, stared at Gao Shusheng, and said: "At first Sophora japonica said that noble people are rare, let us Don’t miss it, but she can’t tell you what a noble person is like. She hesitates and doesn’t say a complete sentence. Do you still have an impression?”
Of course Gao Shusheng had an impression. At that time, his father was still alive and he had not yet gotten married.
Seeing that he seemed to have some realization on his face, the old uncle said again: "I have been wondering over the years, what exactly is the disaster and the noble person that Huaihua mentioned, the closer it is to the time she predicted. , the more I doubt whether this is accurate. In previous years, the harvest was average, but this year it was better than before, and it didn't look like something was going to happen. I didn't expect that as winter came, a large group of exiles entered the village. "
The old man paused and said, "Shu Sheng?"
"I'm here, old uncle, please speak the same language." Gao Shusheng responded.
“We have never had so many outsiders come to our village at once. I guess the noble people that Sophora japonica was talking about must be among these people. They all rush to the Western Mountains, and the Western Mountains are not peaceful.”< br>
"Then let me take the young people into the mountains to have a look. Outsiders don't understand the rules in the mountains, and we can't let them do whatever they want." Gao Shusheng had already thought this in his mind just now.
Uncle Laozu thought for a while and nodded, "That's fine. You can bring someone over to take a look. I'm relieved. By the way, before entering the mountain, you go to the village temple to worship, put up incense sticks and say, Take the bag of asking stones from the village temple with you, and bring something with you, just in case.”
“Okay!”
Calm in Gaojiacun, early in the morning. was broken by a sudden accident.
In the incense burner in the village temple, three pillars of light smoke lit up.
Gao Shusheng took the young people from the village into the mountains through another road.
*
The carriage arrived not far from the foot of the Western Mountain, and another loud noise came from the mountain!
The horses were startled, and there was constant neighing all around! "Xu——"
Everyone hurriedly pulled the reins and tried to calm the frightened horse.
I had just passed by the frightened prisoners on my morning trip when I encountered another tremor. I was so frightened that I fell to the ground and shivered. Soon there was a lot of noise around me, and many people were shouting and running for their lives. Bar!
The custody officers hurriedly caught the fleeing prisoners from all directions and kept them under strict supervision.
This time, because of the extra men under Wang Chong and the large number of officers and soldiers, the riot was quickly put down.
The prisoners were huddled in a crowd, their faces full of fear, and no matter how hard the guards beat and scolded them, they refused to go any further.
Although he knew that he might die on the way to exile, no one was willing to take risks as long as he could survive.
Wang Chong's carriage is in front, not far from the foot of the mountain.
There were rocks rolling down the mountain. The horses leading the cart were frightened. They stamped their hooves on the spot and snorted heavily, and refused to go any further.
Wang Chong was in the carriage, chatting with Xie Yuchuan when his mortal enemy invited experts from other countries to come here to fight. Several foreigners under his disciples were not as good as others and were seriously injured by each other.
This matter can be big or small. The other party is too arrogant and now greedy. Wang Chong said that he was too angry to ask Xie Yuchuan for help.
Before we talk about the key point, something happened outside.
Wang Chong lifted the car curtain and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on?"
Ma Yuan turned around and replied: "Sir, there was a loud noise in the Western Mountains, and the mountain was shaking just now. The falling stone frightened the horse, but it’s okay now.”
Wang Chong looked up at the mountain with a grim look on his face, and couldn’t help but curse: “You don’t know how to live or die, how dare you touch Tai Sui’s head!”< br>
Xie Yuchuan frowned, "Do you know who is responsible for the strange movement in the mountain?"
At this point, Wang Chong could no longer hide it from him, "Who else could it be? Just the person I told the Major General just now, for the sake of a bad breath, invited foreign magicians to go rampant in our country and give them face." ”
Xie Yuchuan was silent for a moment.
A faint smile came to my ears.
In the carriage, the aroma was always lingering. Xie Yuchuan looked at Wang Chong across from him who couldn't help but curse. From beginning to end, the other party didn't know that they were not the only ones in the carriage.
Wang Chong even saw him with an upright posture in the carriage, and mistakenly thought it was the Xie family's tutor, and politely praised the Xie family's extraordinary family style.
A gentleman should be careful about his independence. He has seen it in Xie Yuchuan.
Only Xie Yuchuan himself knows what it is about him to be a gentleman who is cautious about independence and respects himself.
That's because there is a "god" beside him.
How dare he show any disrespect.
There are always some concerns in my heart.
At this time, he heard the laughter of the family god. Without waiting for a concentrated response, he only heard the family god say to him:
"There is indeed something unusual in the mountains. I will go check it out for you. If it's not troublesome, I will make them quieter."
Hearing this, Xie Yuchuan suddenly said out of thin air: "Thank you."
The next moment, the fragrance beside him disappeared in an instant.
The family god left.
Wang Chong suddenly turned his head and stared at him, hesitated for a long time, and asked: "Who was the young general talking to just now?"
