- A heavy autumn rain fell, freezing Zhao Ran, Guan Er, and Lu Jin to death. Guan Er pointed forward and shouted: "Master Fang, there is still one mile to the Yangfang Station!"
Along the muddy official road, Zhao Ran tightened his grip on the old donkey's neck. The old donkey raised its voice and moved forward with its hooves. The muddy water it stepped on splashed all over the faces of Guan Er and Lu Jin behind him. The three of them soon saw a yard surrounded by a wooden fence beside the official road. In the middle of the yard were several broken houses built with mud and tiles.
Guan Eryue immediately stepped forward and kicked open the fenced courtyard door. He led Zhao Ran to the largest house in the middle and shouted: "Li Yichen! Old Li! The master of my house is here, hurry up and come out to greet us!" "
Three post officials ran out in a panic, two of them were busy pulling the horses, and the first one had a smile on his face: "Is it Master Jiang? Why are you free today hmm? Where is Master Jiang? Taoist Master Guan"
Zhao Ran saw that he was still looking around, so he went straight into the house without saying much. Guan Er and Lu Jin followed closely behind him and said to the post official: "Master Jiang has gone to the room to take over the reception. This is my new Master Zhao. Old Li, please clean up the house quickly and bring a bucket of hot water." Come, my family needs to change clothes, the rain is making us miserable."
Li Yicheng agreed without hesitation and personally arranged for Zhao Ran and others to go into the guest house to change clothes and wash up. Then he prepared some hot soup, noodles and other food for Zhao Ran and others to fill their stomachs.
After eating and drinking, and drying his clothes, Zhao Ran finally had the time to look at the inn. The inn was not big, with five or six wooden houses crowded together, connected by thatched corridors, and there was a simple stable outside the house. One postmaster and two postmasters, this is the entire staff of Yangmayi. Such an inn is much smaller and more dilapidated than other inns that Zhao Ran has seen - except for the largest main house in the middle, which is still intact, the other rooms are leaking, and several wooden barrels are used to cover them. .
The quality of the inn has nothing to do with Zhao Ran. The purpose of coming here is to enter the mountains. According to Guan Er's description, Changchong Mountain is one of the few places in Guyang County where monsters may appear, and it is also a key inspection place of Wujiyuan Fangtang. However, over the years, I have only heard rumors about it from the common people, but I have never really discovered it. Over monsters.
Zhao Ran waved to Yi Cheng, who stepped forward respectfully and saluted: "Greetings to Fangzhu Zhao, Mr. Li has a blind eye and does not know Taishan. He has been rude many times before. I hope Fangzhu will forgive you."
Zhao Ran waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. Li Cheng, Pindao came here this time to go into the mountain and have a look. You don't need to prepare anything. We will leave when the rain stops and we won't stay at your place. Let me ask you, is the closest place in Changchong Mountain Is there anything strange?"
"Something strange? Uhno, she's fine. Everything is fine."
"Well, thenare there any rumors in the nearby villages? For example, did anyone die suddenly?"
"No."
"Is anyone missing? Especially children"
"Nothing."
"Thenis there any other animal that is weirder? For example, does it know how to speak human language?"
Both Guan Er and Lu Jin looked at the corral in the yard at the same time.
"Not at all. Fangzhu Zhao, forgive Li for talking, are you here to check for monsters? If so, Fangzhu doesn't need to. People spread rumors that there are monsters in Changchong Mountain, and they are just trying to scare themselves. Li is in Yangmayi It has been three years and I have never seen it before. Everything in the nearby villages is the same as before, nothing unusual."
Zhao Ran was very discouraged after hearing this. He came over excitedly and was poured a basin of cold water on his head by Li Yicheng. The feeling was really colder than the autumn rain! However, since he had already arrived here, it was definitely impossible for him to go back home. He had no interest in talking to Li Yicheng at the moment and was waiting eagerly for the rain to stop.
Li Yicheng waited carefully beside him, never taking the initiative to speak, but he did his best, until the autumn rain subsided, Zhao Ran and others got on their horses (donkeys) and left. Then they turned around and looked at the broken pieces on the table. The flour grains said distressedly: "Another two kilograms of white flour Taoist men, don't come here again, I, Yangmayi, can't bear it!"
Zhao Ran didn't know that Li Yicheng was worried about food from behind. He really didn't give money, and Guan Er and Lu Jin certainly wouldn't give money either. The post station was run by the government, and all supplies were the responsibility of the government. With Zhao Ran's status, if If you still have to pay, everyone should stop entering the Taoist sect.
Although the autumn rain stopped, the sky was still gloomy. I walked along the rushing stream towards the mountain col, and soon entered the mountain. The deeper he went into the mountains, the more discouraged Zhao Ran became. Without him, there were many people in the mountains, smoke curling from cooking stoves, terraced fields, roosters crowing and dogs barking. Where could there be any signs of monsters?
Zhao Ran got a little angry and turned around and asked: "Guan Er, you told me there is a demon here. Look, does it look like a demon?"
Guan Er hesitated and said: "Master Fang, that place where there are demons??, what should it look like? "
"Naturally, it should be smoky and inaccessible" Zhao Rangang said this, slapped his forehead, and secretly wondered why he had fallen into a fixed mindset. Who said that a place with monsters must have this scene? Now his interest came back and he smiled and said: "Let's continue into the mountains!"
With one anger and one smile, Guan Er and Lu Jin looked at each other in confusion.
Changchong Mountain is not big. There are villages and acres of land in the front mountain. Although there are no households in the back mountain, there are still many people. At least the mountain road is very spacious. Zhao Ran opened his eyes and looked around, and finally noticed something strange.
Zhao Ran immediately urged the old donkey to leave the mountain road and head towards the mountain col on the south side. The old donkey climbed over the mountain col, flew over a deep gorge that was not wide, and jumped down from the cliff several feet high, pulling Zhao Ran down. Take it to a slope.
The bay-red horses that Guan Er and Lu Jin were riding were not as capable as the old donkeys. They had no choice but to dismount and follow behind them. However, they were blocked by the deep stream and had to shout from behind: "Master Fang, wait for us!"
Zhao Ran said: "You two are waiting here." He ignored them and rode an old donkey to find a secret hiding place. He looked at a pond more than ten feet away for a moment. He was overjoyed and secretly thought that it was true. The trip was not in vain, it really took no effort at all!
When he opened his heavenly eyes and looked around, he found that the flow of heaven and earth qi here was different from other places, a little more rigid and a little less natural. After observing carefully at a close distance, I was already sure that this was a phantom formation, and the layout of the magic formation was not very clever.
Zhao Ran is quite "talented" in formations, and he has also set up illusion formations using the killing Five Elements Divine Formation, and even fought in a battle with it, so he quickly saw the illusion. The foundation of the formation. This pond is just an illusion and does not actually exist. As for what the illusion of the pond is trying to hide, you must first break the illusion to know.
How to break this illusion? Zhao Ran also has a way. Although his Five Elements Divine Formation disk has been damaged, he still has two Five Thunder Divine Night Talisman on him. He just needs to place one at the center of the formation. With the power of this talisman, the simple magic array in front of him can be destroyed with just a few clicks. Breakable. But of course he wouldn't be that stupid. Firstly, the Five Thunder Divine Night Talisman is very precious and he is reluctant to use it here. Secondly, after breaking the illusion array, who knows what is inside. If a big demon comes out, Zhao Ran will do it. Just looking for death.
Zhao Ran knocked out the communication talisman from Jiang Zhiheng's hand and chanted a curse. The talisman swayed in the air, turned into an arrow, and shot towards the northeast.
So far, Zhao Ran still can't decide whether there is a "demon trace" under this illusion that he wants to investigate. But at least this pond is indeed an illusion. As long as the magic circle is involved, he has enough reasons to summon the Taoist walker. If there really are monsters, then Zhao Ran has made a great contribution. If not, it doesn't matter. He is close to Master Da Zhuo and Uncle Xiao Zhuo. It would be good to see if it is possible to ask for another set of array disks. It would be good to gain some advantages. .
In addition, there is another reason why Zhao Ran is eager to see Dazhuo and Xiaozhuo. His green cord has disappeared. If he went by what he saw in his dream last night, Lu Suo should have entered his own Qi Sea - he felt that it was almost certain. But what I almost mean is that there is another possibility. He is currently unable to look inside and see what is inside his own Qi sea, so he dare not make a final judgment. He wanted to ask these two uncles whether his bones had been corrected. If the bones were corrected successfully, then it meant that the dream was true. If the bones were still not corrected, then Zhao Ran didn't know what to do. Judgment is good.
It was already dark now. Zhao Ran lay down on the edge of the slope and observed the illusion of the pond for a while. He didn't see anything strange, so he got up and quietly left the place. He didn't know when the two master uncles, Da Zhuo and Xiao Zhuo, would arrive, but just looking at the distance traveled by the messenger talisman, at least it would not be possible to arrive in a moment. It could take at least three to five hours, and at most it might take an hour. Not necessarily two days.
Back to the edge of the deep stream, he persuaded Guan Er and Lu Jin to go back, and asked them to find someone's house to stay in the front mountain, and just wait for him there. I don't dare to take these two with me when it comes to catching monsters. I have an old donkey as my companion, and I have the Five Thunder Divine Night Talisman and the Divine Walking Talisman beside me. Even if it doesn't work, I still have a certain ability to protect myself. If something unexpected happens, these two Not to mention that the position is purely a burden, and it is very likely to cost one's life.
Guan Er and Lu Jin were very loyal. They heard that Fangzhu Zhao had discovered traces of the monster. Although they felt guilty, they still insisted on "protecting" Fangzhu Zhao until Zhao Ran lost his temper and reluctantly left.
After sending away the two "bodyguards", Zhao Ran returned to the secret place where he had just sat down, took out the dry food from the thumb, and while eating, secretly monitored the illusion of the pond in the distance.
As soon as he swallowed the last mouthful of dry food and gently wiped the flour around his mouth, Zhao Ran's eyes suddenly stopped on a small tree next to the slope, and he couldn't help but shrink suddenly.
A group of black shadows was standing on the branches of the trees, rising and falling with the night wind.
