The two of them stopped flying over the ground and walked into the town of Aokou like ordinary mortals.
The small town was either made of stone or made of wood, with three to five hundred households scattered in height. The smoke from cooking was drifting in the wind, and the sounds of chickens and dogs could be heard one after another. It was quite a pleasant scene.
This is the most common thing in other counties in other states, but at this time, Yunzhou is in chaos, and everything is like a hell on earth, not to mention the earlier barbaric military disasters. In comparison, such a peaceful place,
But it looks extremely weird!
Arriving in front of the town, Lin Ji looked at the stone statue standing beside him, and Lu Zhaoer also noticed something was wrong.
The stone tablet is not big, only about four feet high. There is a strange-looking kobold standing on top of it, with bared teeth and eyes, lifelike.
At first glance, apart from its strange appearance, there is nothing special about it.
But both of them clearly noticed that there was an indescribable aura hidden in the stone statue.
It is neither ghost energy nor demon energy, and it has nothing to do with spiritual energy.
"Are you two guests... going to Zhanma Town?" At this moment, a short, skinny, dark-faced man wearing a wide shirt and a long coat bowed and asked half-heartedly.
Lin Ji glanced at him. This man was not very old, only around thirty. But he had a rough and dark complexion, and spoke with a strong local accent. The way he pretended to bow and salute was even more ridiculous, especially when he was wearing
This extremely ill-fitting dress is obviously the dress of a scholar, and it looks awkward no matter how you look at it.
Seeing that the two of them didn't answer, the man was a little nervous and said hesitantly: "The young one knows a shortcut, it only costs... five dollars."
I was originally a self-recommended guide, and I was still a novice.
"That's right." Lin Ji responded, "I just wanted to ask for a question. Naturally, your reward will be indispensable when I get to Zhanma Town."
"Okay!" When the man heard this, he bared his big yellow teeth and said with joy, "You two guests, come this way."
As he said that, he turned sideways to make way.
Lin Ji looked around and took a few steps forward, seemingly unintentionally asking: "Is Zhanma Town originally so lively?"
"What's the matter?" the man replied, "Originally, in addition to gathering herbs, people in that town were engaged in woodcutting and hunting, let alone big shots like the two guests. Even we Aokou people are too lazy to go there.
! Speaking of which, just over a month ago, for some reason, a group of immortals came to Zhanma Town, where rabbits usually don’t poop. Then the number of people coming and going became more and more..."
"Get out of the way!"
At this moment, the horse's hooves were flying quickly, and a scream was heard in the distance.
When he turned around, he saw a carriage with a black shed.
Rolling up a trail of smoke and dust, he hurried past several people and headed straight forward.
Not long ago, Lin Ji stopped a car, and so soon another one came!
Moreover, he no longer turns his head to avoid it.
Is it because of the stone statue at the entrance of the town?
"Look..." the yellow-toothed man accompanied Xin Xin and said, "In the past, you would never see a big carriage like this all year round. But now not only do you see them every day, sometimes there are more than a dozen!
Tsk tsk..."
The man shook his head repeatedly and said with great envy: "Zhanma Town is full of smoke!"
"Are there any immortals there?" Lin Ji responded.
"Quite a few!" the man took over the conversation and said, "The two guests are also here to seek immortality, right? Recently, a lot of big shots have come, all going to that town to seek immortality. The immortals in that town are all different.
They are all flying around..."
"Oh?" Lin Ji pretended to be very curious and inquired, "Is there anyone who rides on a fairy bird?"
"That's not true," the man replied, "but the appearance of those immortals is very strange, but... I can't tell what is strange."
We learned from Yuan Ziang and Kong Zheng that the monsters who robbed the people were all riding big bats.
From this point of view, it seems that this group of people who abducted children and gathered in Zhanma Town is another group of people?
The two of them followed the man through the small town and entered a mountain path.
According to him, taking this small road is seven or eight miles closer than the main road, which is why the five dollars are worth it.
Halfway through, I met two more guides who were very familiar with the yellow-toothed man and had just returned.
It seems that this new business is not bad.
Soon, after trekking all the way, we finally came out of the forest.
In the distance, you can see a big mountain standing in front of you.
The mountain is about a thousand feet high and shaped like a steamed bun.
However, there is a neat gap of more than ten feet in the middle, which is bottomless in the long run.
The terrain blocking the mountain pass suddenly rose, and stone houses of different sizes were built in a scattered manner.
The figures were flashing and the carriages were lined up. It looked like they were from a wealthy family.
"Two guests, do you see it? That's Zhanma Town! Don't forget what I told you all the way. Don't go out after dark. That place is really weird!" The yellow-toothed man stood still.
The figure instructed again.
"Thank you." Lin Ji took out a banknote and threw it over. The man took it in his hand and looked at it suspiciously, as if he had never seen this thing before.
Lu Zhaoer threw a piece of broken silver over, and the man nodded and bowed his head and thanked him profusely.
After getting off the path onto the main road, I realized that there were quite a few horse teams and vehicles coming from afar.
Judging from the way they dress, most of them are from wealthy families, and many of them are brought here with their families.
Lin Ji and Lu Zhaoer blended in quietly and headed straight for Zhanma Town.
Zhanma Town is not big, with only about a hundred households in total.
The copper ring trembled faintly. Lin Ji glanced towards the northwest corner. Lei Hu's family should be nearby.
But now is not the time to take them away.
After walking around the town, Lin Ji discovered that there were monster-like statues standing around the town. Some were like tigers, some were like eagles, and some were like turtles and toads. Each one had the head of an animal or the body of a human.
, there is an inexplicable aura hidden.
"Look." Lu Zhaoer pointed to a mark in front of him and said, "There used to be a statue here, but it was recently moved away."
Lin Ji nodded and said, "It should be the one in Aokou Town."
Looking up, the side with the removed statue is facing the endless canyon ahead.
Standing here, you can see more clearly.
The two walls of the canyon towered thousands of feet high and were as flat as a knife, just like...
It doesn’t seem like it!
Lin Ji suddenly woke up. What kind of mountain canyon was this? It was clearly someone who forcibly split this thousand-foot mountain into two!
A thousand-foot-long mountain shaped like a steamed bun opens up a hundred-foot-wide canyon in the middle, and the horizon is endless!
this……
And who did it?
when!
A clear bell sounded far away from the depths of the canyon.
It hit the stone walls on both sides, causing waves of echoes.
"The mountains are opened, the mountains are opened!"
The crowd of cavalry waiting on the spot immediately became agitated, and everyone rushed forward in a hurry.
"Look, the immortal is coming!"
There was another shout of surprise from the crowd.
Lin Ji looked up from among the crowd and saw three figures floating in the sky from the depths of the canyon.
