Chapter 40 Shaoshan Madman
Danhe Prefecture, more than a hundred miles outside Xishou County, Shaoshan.
There is a village outside the mountain called Yijiacun. In recent days, four crazy people have appeared in the village.
The villagers were carrying logs and holding torches, making a lot of noise.
Four men in front of the crowd were tied up, and the villagers escorted them toward the fields.
"Village chief, don't you need to report it to the government?"
"The official doesn't care about our small village. He burned these four lunatics to death and told everyone in the village not to enter the mountain."
"The Niujia Village in the mountains has been attacked by evil spirits. Some of the survivors who escaped said that evil spirits were skinning their villagers..."
The old village chief walked in front holding a torch, the villagers quickened their pace, and the four tied men were still roaring.
The four of them were kidnapped and burned to death by the villagers because they committed murder, arson, and defilement of women.
Villagers who are familiar with these four people know that they were honest people before going to the mountain, but their personalities changed drastically after going to the mountain.
The four men had their hands and feet tied up, and they looked crazy and wanted to bite people.
At this time, three carriages came from outside the village.
The three carriages were taking the main road in the village and were heading towards Shaoshan.
"Hurry up and stop them. Don't let them go into the mountain and get evil, and then come down to harm us." The old village chief greeted.
The villagers who were behind the crowd hurried to the road and shouted from a distance.
"Foreigners, please don't go into the mountains. There are monsters in the mountains that skin people."
"Everyone who goes up the mountain is crazy. There is something evil in the mountain."
They shouted loudly, but the three carriages drove straight past, ignoring their warnings.
The carriage passed through Yijia Village and entered the wild road to Shaoshan Mountain.
The first carriage was driven by a grandfather and grandson, Lao Huang and Xiao Fuzi.
Both the grandfather and grandson looked ugly, but they heard clearly that the villagers claimed that there were monsters that skinned people in the mountains.
"Drive with peace of mind. When we reach the foot of the mountain, you and your grandson only need to watch the car and don't need to follow us into the mountain."
The second master's voice came from the car curtain, making the grandson and grandpa feel relieved.
There were four people sitting in the carriage. Shen Yushu looked out the window and said, "The villagers who entered the mountain suffered a disaster. I think there are still people who came to Baiyang Gate and stayed in Shaoshan."
Zhu Li asked: "Some of them stayed in Shaoshan. Could it be that the senior brother has not escaped from Shaoshan?"
According to the information discovered, the senior brother appeared in Shaoshan nearly half a month ago, and there was news that he was being hunted by the Baiyang Clan.
Now half a month has passed, and it is possible to be there or not.
"Elder brother may still be there, but he probably escaped! The Baiyang sect left some people behind for two purposes. One is to use local materials to refine some talismans, and the other is to wait for the eldest brother's disciples, which is the three of us.
!"
"Should we disperse and go up the mountain to look for clues, or should we act together?"
"It would be safer to act together. The only medicine slave is Li Si. There are two Taoist priests in Baiyang Gate and two ritual realms. It is difficult to escape if we meet alone."
When a Taoist priest refines qi, the first level is the one-qi level, which can be refined and nourished; the second level is to open two rituals and refine yin, yang, water and fire.
For example, those who refine corpses are beyond the realm of walking corpses. After refining the fire, they can cultivate corpse fire like Taoist priests.
Liu Feng had little experience in this, so he just sat aside and listened to the two people's arrangements.
After completing the four or five miles of wild road, the carriage stopped.
Two people were left to look at the car, and eighteen people got out of the car. They looked around and saw the vast mountains and forests in front of them.
……
In addition to Niujia Village, there are several places where mountain people live scattered in Shaoshan.
Among the mountains, there are more than a dozen families of mountain residents scattered in one mountain.
Under the darkening sky, no one from these families went out, but smoke rose from one house.
On the mountainside, there are several grass and mud houses closely connected together, and there is movement in one of the houses.
Listening to the sound, it was the cry of a young woman, and there was also the yelling of an old man.
After a while, the door opened, and a disheveled old man in green clothes walked out. His hair was half white and he was cursing.
"We spent three taels of silver to marry him back home, but my son is dead. It is not natural to serve me now."
The old man in green looked crazy, and there was blood on his fist, but it was obviously not his blood.
He took a few steps to the kitchen, where a large pot of skinned meat was boiling.
"It still needs some heat, let's stew it for a while."
"If you keep howling, I'll stew you together."
The constant wailing in his ears made the old man in blue even more frantic. He rushed out of the kitchen and was about to teach his daughter-in-law a lesson.
"Hey, here are some outsiders. The real people in the mountains have arranged treasures, and they dare to walk on the mountain road!" The old man in green saw a group of people appearing on the mountain road from a distance, and he suddenly grinned.
On the mountain road here, there is a group of eighteen people who have been driving for more than half an hour.
When the old man in green looked at them, the eighteen people also looked up at the old man.
There is no other reason. There are more than ten households in this area, but only one has smoke from cooking.
"The old man's crazy expression may have something to do with Baiyang Clan." Liu Feng saw it most clearly.
Behind the three brothers, a scar-faced bandit stood up and said, "Fourth Master, I'm going to get that old guy over and question him."
Liu Feng glanced at the scar-faced bandit and nodded lightly. Zhu Li and Shen Yushu on the side did not object.
Just the next moment, something bizarre happened.
The scar-faced bandit had not gone far, and disappeared without a trace.
The seventeen people's eyes were sharp, all staring at the place where the scarred face disappeared, and they didn't notice the slightest movement.
"Let someone else go over." Shen Yushu said coldly.
The remaining thirteen thieves couldn't help but clenched the steel knives in their hands. The thief known as Ah Bao gritted his teeth and rushed to the place where the scar-faced thief disappeared without making a sound.
Under the dim sky, he quickly stood on the mountain path and did not disappear.
"Second Master, let me look for the scar."
After the words fell, he turned around and took a few steps, just like the previous thief, he disappeared without a trace in an instant.
The number of eighteen people was suddenly reduced by two, and the twelve thieves here all looked gloomy.
They know in their hearts that they and others are being used as abandoned children, so they are not afraid of a simple death, but it is still unavoidable for them to face evil things.
Among the twelve thieves, the bald thief was the leader. He looked fierce and said: "You three, let twelve of us go there together. I don't believe that we can't take down an old guy."
Five ivy branches stretched out from Shen Yushu's body. He said calmly: "Tie them all with ivy and let's go there together."
Sixteen people, including Yao Nu Li Si, were tied together.
The compound eyes on Liu Feng's face opened quietly, and nothing strange was seen.
Immediately afterwards, Dharma Eyesight and Zen Eyesight were used one after another to make sure it was not a deception.
Unable to figure out the mystery, Liu Feng said solemnly: "How about changing positions and walking around to the mountainside."
"As expected, wherever there may be clues, the Baiyang Sect has arranged means. It is the same as not changing." Shen Yushu said in a deep voice.
The group of people said no more, and the sixteen people connected together through the ivy and walked up the mountainside.
