Chapter Thirteen Hundred Ghosts Night Walk
The atmosphere in the car fell silent again.
Death is a heavy word for everyone here, whether it is Liu Dahong, who has been living in the world for many years or Gu Ning, who is only sixteen years old.
But Su Changan laughed, just like that night, Mo Tingyu laughed and died, Wutong smiled and gave him away. He was as big as Gu Ning, and he could not see through life and death. He just knew that you had to laugh, no matter what kind of swords and fires were waiting for you in the next second, you had to laugh, because you had to tell this world that you would not admit defeat.
"Actually, Brother Liu and Brother Gu don't have to worry too much." Su Chang'an said, "We don't know who the Gu family has offended. But one thing is that they want to send Gu Xianjun to Chang'an safely, and we will send him. Brother Gu also said that Gu Xianjun is one of the three marquises of the Gu family and has a noble status. If you are not sure, the Gu family will not rashly send Gu Xianjun out of the Gu family. So as long as we bring Gu Xianjun, there may not be a glimmer of hope."
When the two of them heard this, they looked at each other and saw a surprised look on each other's face. At this moment, they heard Su Chang'an mention of the joints, and they realized that things were not as bad as they imagined.
"Brother Su said very well. If we make arrangements properly, we will not have no chance of winning." Gu Ning nodded and said, looking at Su Changan with a slightly different look. He thought that Brother Su could become Mo Tingyu's disciple, but it seemed that it was a bit unique.
"Well, Mr. Su, Mr. Gu, look at this, let us tell you about this tonight, so that you can be a little cautious. Then let everyone work together and come up with a suitable way." Liu Dahong's face improved a lot, and his heart became alive.
"Then let's do as Liu Biao said."
The group finally waited for the evening with a strange mood, and the escort team found an empty place to stay overnight.
This is Liu Dahong's years of experience in warding. A place with a wide view makes it easier for his companions who are vigilant to observe the situation, and then lit a bonfire to keep warm and drive away wild animals.
The three of them summoned the rest of the people, but Gu Xianjun did not get off the carriage for some reason, and even the food was delivered by Su Mo.
But the three of them thought it was good. As long as Gu Xianjun stayed in the carriage and did not show up, he would have a little more confidence in escorting.
After everyone had supper, Liu Dahong told everyone about the matter. Everyone was naturally not too happy to know their situation, but fortunately the three of them repeatedly stated the pros and cons of it, and the anger on everyone's faces was slightly relieved.
Just said that he could find a way, but everyone was at a loss.
In the end, Lin Ru, a taciturn boy, spoke.
"The north is here, with many mountains and roads, few villages and vast people. After passing Youyun Ridge, the Central Plains is where the official roads are smooth and there are always officers patrolling each other. If the thief wants to rob the young marquis of the Gu family, he will definitely choose to act in the north. One can cover up the eyes and the other can prevent the emergence of the troubles. Therefore, the key to this trip is how to walk from the north to Youyun Ridge."
"And the thief will choose to act at night. We can rush to the road at night and rest at daytime. This will not only maintain a high degree of vigilance at night, but also have a better vision during the daytime break, and facilitate alertness."
Lin Ru said this in a casual manner, without any rushing momentum, and there was no sign of an ordinary boy panic when he experienced a major change.
Everyone also felt that Lin Ru’s words were reasonable and well-founded, so they made some additions to the details and decided on the plan.
So, the group rushed to the night and rested in the day. In a blink of an eye, ten days passed, but no expected danger occurred, and even a robber had not encountered another time.
"There is Youyun Ridge in front, and the Central Plains after passing Youyun Ridge!" Liu Dahong's carriage was at the front, with two lanterns hanging at the rear of the carriage, guiding the way for the carriage behind at night.
A burst of cheers came from the escort team. Everyone has been worried these days. As long as they pass through Youyun Ridge, they will be safe.
"The eldest lady of the Gu family is really a lady. She has never come out of the car for more than ten days and even needs Momo to serve her when she eats." Su Changan, who was sitting in the car, muttered dissatisfied. He obviously didn't have much favor to this little marquis of the Gu family who made everyone feel so embarrassed.
"Brother Su, don't think too much. In fact, the little marquis she is doing this for our own good. The more she doesn't come out, the safer we will be. Momo said it was serving, but in fact she just gave her some food. It might be okay." Gu Ning smiled and persuaded, and finally he was about to reach the Central Plains, and his mood was getting better.
"Haha, Mr. Gu is right!" Liu Dahong's heartfelt laughter came, and his heart that had been hanging all day long was finally let go, and he let out the familiar heartfelt laughter again.
"By the way, Brother Liu, Youyunling is in front of you. It is said that this Youyunling monster is rampant and extremely dangerous. But why can you spend it safely every time? Are you really good at ancient Chinese and can communicate with the mountain masters?" Su Changan finally asked the question that had been lingering in his heart for many years.
Originally, this kind of question involved the secrets of Liu Dahong's escort team, but Su Changan had never been scheming and asked whatever he wanted. Moreover, after the experiences these days, the few people could barely share the hardships and hardships.
Liu Dahong didn't think about hiding it, and said with a smile: "Actually, no one else is as evil as it is. I just know a tree spirit in this mountain. He seems to have great prestige in this mountain, so every time I pass by, the monsters don't come to harass me."
"Tree Spirit? Then isn't it the same group as the demon clan in the north?" Su Changan was a little confused. Naturally, he didn't hate the demon clan. Although his father had been fighting with the demon clan in the border for many years, he felt that it was the business of the Holy Emperor and the demon clan emperor. The people below were all making a living. At least ordinary people don't like wars. Su Changan believes that the people of the demon clan should not like it either. Moreover, his master's wife is also a demon clan, so he has no reason to hate the demon clan.
But what he didn't understand was that since the Holy Emperor was fighting with the demon clan, there were so many monsters living in Youyun Ridge, why didn't the Holy Emperor care?
"It is said that there are great monsters in Youyun Ridge. They have lived in Youyun Ridge since ancient times and have made no mistakes with the rulers of the human race in history. Although the Holy Emperor is very talented, he is unwilling to waste his military power in Youyun Ridge." Gu Ning explained on the side.
"Then aren't they watching us fight with the demon clan?" Su Changan didn't understand even more. There was no reason why his family and outsiders fought, but you were standing by. Su Changan felt that the monsters in Youyunling should not be a good thing.
"What's so strange about this? There is a country where monsters live in the south." Liu Dahong interrupted. He often contacted the monsters of Youyunling, so naturally he did not repel monsters like ordinary people in the Wei Dynasty.
"Ah? There is also such a place." Su Changan heard about Loulan for the first time and thought it was very strange. He thought that he must go and have a look if he had the chance.
"Now we have entered Youyun Ridge, and the monsters here recognize my smell and will not attack me. Even the thief wants to rob the little marquis, he has to consider whether the monsters in Youyun Ridge agree." Liu Dahong seemed to have arrived at his home court for a while.
The two people in the car smiled when they heard this. When they arrived at Youyun Ridge, Liu Dahong, the "landlord" of Youyun Ridge, was in charge, which was really much easier.
Su Changan opened the curtain of the carriage and found that Youyunling and the Northland looked like two worlds. There was no snow in the northland all year round, and dense vegetation grew on the cliffs. He only felt that it was different from Changmen and looked very beautiful.
He turned his head and looked at the scene that he had never seen in sixteen years. It was a pity that the stars were dim tonight and he couldn't see it clearly.
Su Changan was feeling a little regretful. Suddenly, he found a black shadow standing on the mountain road ahead, but he couldn't see it clearly under the night. Is it a beast in the mountains? He thought so.
"Woooooooooooooo~"
Before we could ask, a sound suddenly sounded in the quiet mountains. It shaped a strange tone and appeared suddenly with an indescribable smell.
Su Changan only felt that his hair was exploding, and a chill rose from the soles of his feet, passing through his limbs and bones, and he couldn't help but fight a cold war.
"What is that?" Su Changan felt his voice trembling.
"Maybe it's the monster in the mountains?" Liu Dahong was not sure, and the voice inexplicably made him frightened.
The escort team slowed down, and Su Mo and others also poked their heads out and wanted to ask, but were stopped by the strange atmosphere at this moment.
Liu Dahong lifted the lantern in front of him and drove the car slowly towards the black shadow. He looked nervous and even had a trace of sweat on his forehead.
Su Changan and Gu Ning also opened their eyes wide and stared at the black shadow. Gu Ning even secretly used his internal energy. He was already in the spirit gathering realm. If he was just an ordinary beast or even a monster, he would have the power to fight.
The car slowly approached and stopped not far from the black clothes.
It was a man, wearing a black robe, lowered his head and holding an unknown instrument in his hand, like a flute and a sheng. The creepy sound just now was made by this object.
This scene is indescribable. In the Youyun Ridge where the monsters are rampant, a "person" is playing a desolate music in the night of the mountain road.
"Gulu!" Liu Dahong's Adam's apple squirmed and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He carefully put the lantern forward a little, trying to see his face clearly.
Su Changan held the knife in his hand. He didn't know how to sword skills and couldn't draw it out, but he always felt relieved when holding the heavy hilt. Gu Ning's hand was shining with white light, and his magic was ready. Everyone in the escort team took out their own weapons and stared at the figure nervously. Even Su Mo and others took out their weapons. They were already in the spirit gathering realm, not really students without the power to tie a chicken. Only Gu Xianjun was still sitting in the carriage, as if anything that happened outside had nothing to do with her.
The man in black robe never realized anything. He played his intriguing music in his own way. The man in black robe was calm and gentle, and Su Chang'an and his party were as if they were facing a great enemy. They confronted each other like a lion and a flock of sheep.
Finally, the music came to an end.
The man in black robe put away his weird instrument without any haste and then slowly raised his head.
Su Changan finally saw the appearance of the man in black robe, and everyone also saw the appearance of the man in black robe at that moment.
Su Mo screamed and everyone gasped.
It was a changing face, sometimes men and sometimes women, sometimes old and sometimes young, sometimes beautiful and sometimes ugly, sometimes human and sometimes beast.
He raised his hand, his left hand as white as jade, and his right hand as withered as bones.
He smiled at everyone, but his smile was filled with jokes and cruelty.
His lips slowly opened, and his voice was hoarse, like a saw pulling the rotten wood.
He said: "Hundred ghosts walk at night!"
