Liu Zheng didn't know much about the mountains in the Northeast in his previous life. But the majesty of this mountain is no different from the mountains in Sichuan and Sichuan.
What made him dumbfounded was...
Before Gu Guan entered the mountain, he also performed a superstitious activity of offering sacrifices to the mountain.
After giving up here, he waved his hand and entered the mountain!
Go into the mountains!
Then he quickly ran back to Liu Zheng and said seriously: "Liu Shilang, you must follow closely, this mountain is very evil!"
Liu Zheng looked surprised: "Brother Gu walked through Wangchuan?"
He insisted on his choice and walked into the mountains with a group of jailers. Naturally, others could not defeat him. But these jailers had a good impression of Liu Zheng, so they naturally surrounded him. After hearing his words, a younger jailer laughed.
Standing up: "Liu Shilang, our leader has been escorting this prisoner for more than ten years! Where has he not been to this place of exile? Of course he has walked through the River of Forgetfulness!"
Liu Zheng was a little moved.
At this time, having an experienced person is really helpful.
Gu Guan also grinned: "There is nothing we can do about it... How can we make money from this!"
A group of people burst into laughter.
Indeed, escorting mortals is the most profitable business for these government officials. Although the journey is long, the income is high. Why did these government officials in ancient times rush to escort mortals? First, the income subsidies are very high
Second, many prisoners' families will bribe them so that they can help take care of these prisoners so that they will not starve to death on the road. Third, as long as they escort the prisoners, they are the bosses and do not need to be subject to any government supervision. They are free.
If you want to drink, you can drink. If you want to go to a brothel, go to a brothel. Every time you pass a city, you don’t have to spend money yourself. Some of the prisoners’ family members give them money for consumption.
This Gu Guan is an expert here.
He smiled honestly: "I did walk through the Wangchuan River with Master back then. Although several years have passed, I have never forgotten what Master once said to me."
"What words?"
A group of people were very curious.
Gu Guan looked serious: "Master said that there are three people who cannot leave in Wangchuan!"
"One, we can't walk in fog!"
Everyone nodded, the fog in the mountains was indeed dangerous.
It is easy to get lost, and there may even be some poisonous gas miasma that can directly kill people.
"Two, some people can't leave!"
Everyone was shocked.
It's really scary to see a person suddenly appear in this barren mountain and forest. Who knows if it's a human or a ghost? Who knows if it's the man-eating savage?
Liu Zheng also nodded.
The experiences summarized by these old people are very valuable.
Gu Guan continued to smile and said: "Third, there is a road that cannot be walked!"
"What?"
Everyone couldn't understand it now.
At this time, they were escorting 100,000 people. They had just entered the mountain and happened to be walking on a main road. Because they hadn't gone very deep yet, the mountains next to them were not particularly complicated. But when Gu Guan said this, everyone's expressions changed.
.
Gu Guan laughed and said: "It's okay now... these three items will not be discussed until we pass the Wangchuan Valley!"
Lethe Valley......
It doesn't sound like a good place.
A group of jailers fell silent.
This is a real number of 100,000 people.
Because it is still on the main road, it can accommodate ten people in a row. But despite this, the team is still very long, and the end cannot be seen at a glance. These prisoners refuse to walk on the Wangchuan Road in their hearts, so,
The challenges they are about to face can be imagined.
In this way, we chatted and walked all the way.
At the beginning, people were still very nervous.
But this mountain is really too big.
After walking for a long time, the surrounding environment has not changed much.
But Liu Zheng knew in his heart what he was here for this time.
Along the way, he used pen and paper to record various places on the road that could be used as markers, including a stone of various shapes and a strange-looking tree. He recorded all the various road signs in the southeast, northwest and northwest very accurately.
clear.
finally.
The day's journey passed like this.
There were no near misses on this day.
The road was not without incident, probably because the mountains were too deep. Occasionally, a few wild animals ran out, causing panic among the crowd.
The three wild boars caused panic among the prisoners. They had to go through great efforts to kill the wild boars, but they also injured dozens of prisoners who had gathered together.
Dusk is coming.
One hundred thousand people began to set up camp.
The three killed wild boars were happily boiled into a pot of soup by the jailers.
Gu Guan's experience is quite sophisticated.
Knowing that as the journey progresses, the beasts are the first to threaten people's lives.
So during the day, he sent people to collect the feces that looked very big.
The larger the feces, the more ferocious the animal that produced the feces.
Then, spread the feces next to each tent.
really.
At night, the terrifying sound of howling wolves was heard all around.
Liu Zheng was frightened.
But what he saw when he got up was Pei Qianyun's back.
"Don't be alarmed, sir. They don't dare to come over. They have been barking for a long time!"
Pei Qianyun laughed loudly. He lit a fire at the entrance of the camp one night to protect Liu Zheng's safety.
Liu Zheng got dressed and stood up: "You also have to rest for a while. How can you bear this?"
Pei Qianyun glared and said, "Young master, you must not do this. You are a rich man. Qianyun is so energetic that he can go without sleep for seven days!"
Liu Zheng pretended to be angry and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? The deeper you go, the more dangerous it becomes. If my life is really in danger, I have to rely on you to protect me. How can I not rest? Go to sleep!"
Pei Qianyun was yelled at by Liu Zheng and muttered aggrievedly, but he did not dare to refute. He threw down the fire stick in his hand and returned to the tent obediently. However, he lay on the quilt, still tossing and turning, unable to sleep, and secretly looked at the man sitting by the fire.
Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng was moved and dumbfounded.
Pei Qianyun is completely like a younger brother to him now.
The two of them were inseparable every day, and Liu Zheng loved and cared for this idiot who was born with supernatural powers from the bottom of his heart.
Sitting next to the fire, Liu Zheng looked at the surrounding environment thoughtfully.
Fortunately, the weather was good today and the sky was filled with stars. Liu Zheng raised his head and easily found the Big Dipper in the sky.
night.
It seems so quiet that your heartbeat slows down a lot.
Behind him, Pei Qianyun's snoring sounded.
Liu Zheng smiled slightly.
Just then.
Suddenly Liu Zheng's face changed slightly.
Why did the wolf howl disappear?
He looked around.
Except for a few fires in the camp, everything was dark.
