"Gentleman, there are many stone ships."

Looking at the row of boats, Gouzi was a little surprised, "It's still so busy in the first month of the year."

"It seems that Wenshui is being used as a canal."

When I opened the map, I saw that the quarry was not far away, and the construction site was just southeast of Wenshui.

"Strange, southeast of Wenshui, shouldn't it be 'Wuwen County'?"

Frowning, Wei Hao was puzzled.

"Gentleman, the national fortunes here have declined greatly. Who is protecting the boatmen and trackers?"

"Generally speaking, it's a demon slayer or a charlatan escort. But in the current situation, that may not be the case."

Entering a mountainous area, it suddenly started snowing, and noises could already be heard.

Wei Hao stepped on the snow without leaving a trace, and soon reached the top of a cedar tree. A white cloak wrapped around his body. Looking into the distance, he saw a valley where Wenshui River passed. The mountains on both sides had been dug out.

A huge gap.

The gravel rolled down, passing through logs and ropes, and gradually slid to the shore.

There are fleets of boats on both sides of the river. The trackers drag the cables and lean forward, almost parallel to the ground.

Use your hands and feet together to move forward.

Next to the team of trackers, someone would cast spells from time to time, mostly to ward off the cold so that the trackers could continue working.

More advanced spells are more expensive, and not everyone can afford them.

However, seeing this scene still made Wei Hao feel very angry. A good spell, instead of finding ways to stretch, is used to supervise the drawing. It is simply abominable!

"I've never seen this kind of attire before."

Wei Hao carefully looked at the warlocks who were keeping the trackers away from the cold. They were not so much warlocks as soldiers who knew how to use magic.

Logically speaking, this kind of person shouldn't appear so arrogantly.

Seeing that those guys all had the same symbol, Wei Hao compared the similar symbols he had seen one by one, but there was still nothing similar.

It's not the symbol of the Imperial Guard, the Qin Tian Prison, the Xun Tian Prison, or the Long Xiang Army, the Flying Bear Army, and other powerful forces.

"This symbol has a horizontal line under the semicircle and a vertical line running through the center... I've never seen it before."

I asked Gouzi, "Xiao Wang, have you seen this symbol?"

After drawing it on his palm, Gouzi shook his head, he had never seen it before.

"It seems that it should be new."

Wei Hao was suddenly startled, "The Lord of the Land said that a noble man has arrived. Is the one who can come here recently not 'Dong Bohou'?"

Moreover, "Dongbohou" is also a strange title that was hastily confirmed. The ancient legends are no longer reliable, and everything has to start from scratch.

After such deliberation, Wei Hao asked Yan Xuanxin to come closer to conduct reconnaissance and make sure.

The flying swallow in the first month is not very reasonable. Yan Xuanxin changed into a linen robe and turned into a little sparrow, jumping around the mining area and landing in the stone ship from time to time.

Soon, Yan Xuanxin flew to Wei Hao's side.

"Elephant Master is from the residence of 'Dong Bohou'. These monks who follow the trackers are members of the 'Heaven and Earth Guard' under 'Dong Bohou'."

"'Heaven and Earth Guard'?!"

Wei Hao was speechless for a moment, what a punishment for "Dong Bohou".

What a loud tone, and even brought out a "Heaven and Earth Guard".

"Xuan Xin, first go and see where these stones are being unloaded. The construction site should be where the unloading is."

"yes."

The little sparrow flapped its wings and flew away, searching along Wenshui River.

"Gentleman, where are we?"

"First go to 'Jiangjiagou' to find out."

"okay."

call!!

The cloak shook and he immediately ran away, not even leaving any footprints on the branch where he was standing.

Not long after, a few first-month tits landed on top, tilting their heads and looking around, apparently not realizing that someone had just come to where they were.

In the mountains, Wei Hao's figure was like a white horse, and the traces could not be seen clearly under the cover of snow.

Wang Zhaixing showed his head and sniffed slightly, sensing where there was a human presence.

Wei Hao's perception has spread to fifty miles away. The location of "Jiangjiagou" is not far away in a straight line. It is only fifteen miles away from the quarry. However, it is blocked by seven or eight hills and the winding mountain road is far away.

As long as I move forward on two legs, I won't be able to hold back for hundreds of miles.

Among the hills, Wei Hao accidentally discovered a large number of altars. Each altar was similar to a beacon tower, with soldiers stationed inside.

As little as one person, as many as a team.

There are both long and short weapons, and they are also equipped with various talismans and magic weapons.

"Good guy, when did the local garrison become so wealthy?!"

Wei Hao was very shocked. You must know that a strong army like Long Xiang's army does not mean that the talisman paper is used as toilet paper.

But along the way, we passed by seven or eight hills, and there were more than twenty sentries, large and small, with a total force of about a thousand people.

To light a fire, you don't use a fire sickle, you use a "fire charm", a kind of talisman paper that can light things on fire.

Although it may seem inconspicuous, in order to make rune paper, you must have the help of a practitioner who specializes in runes.

And if you want to carry magic power, ordinary paper is useless, you must have "aura" inside to show it.

Paper is definitely not simple or ordinary.

According to the practice of past dynasties, the "tribute paper" usually made under the supervision of famous ministers and generals has its own "aura". The cultivation of making talisman paper only needs to solve the problem of running the runes in one go, and the rest is completely natural.

Generally speaking, these items are controlled items and are unlikely to become widespread.

The imperial court controls the demon slayers from two sources: one is the basic materials, that is, elixirs, auras, etc. used to enhance strength; the other is the "righteous method" that is used in the world, which is used for cultivation.

Not all evil spells can be successful. Evil spells can make you stronger, but you will die if you are struck by lightning. However, the "right method" is different and you are not afraid of being struck by lightning.

Like a piebald fox, it already lacks both family assets and "righteousness". If it is just a fox with poor qualifications, it will die if it is struck by lightning, and it has no determination to fight and fight again, which makes it even worse.

Two daughters exchanged a thousand years of cultivation. If any big demon got such a good deal, he would be the first one to come over and kowtow to Wei Hao.

Kowtow a few times, no ambiguity.

Precisely because there are so many pitfalls in practice, how could Wei Hao not be shocked when he saw ordinary soldiers using "fire charms" to make fires to keep warm?!

"What is the origin of this 'Dong Bohou'?!"

Wei Hao patted the dog's head on his chest.

Gouzi was speechless for a moment: "Gentleman, I'm just a dog, not a spy."

"You didn't study hard at Qilin Academy?!"

"That gentleman didn't say anything about ending the world's heroes properly at Zhuque Academy."

"I'm an arithmetic person, so I just need to learn elementary mathematics well. Besides, I'm very familiar with the local officials in Beiyang Prefecture, and I know them all."

"Gentleman, you want to be the number one scholar in arithmetic. If you want to look at the world, how can you only focus on one-third of an acre in Beiyang Mansion? I want to criticize you!"

"..."

The little dog was very eloquent, and Wei Hao was so angry that he rubbed the dog's head angrily.

Not long after, we finally arrived at a Wubao. In terms of shape, it was somewhat similar to a "rectangular earth building", built in the shape of a "pin" and built against the mountain.

The entire "Jiangjiagou" has quite a few Wubao groups in the shape of a pin, but it can be seen that they are a bit depressed now.

"There are officials stationed here."

Wrapped in a white cloak, Wei Hao stood at the highest point, looking down and feeling the atmosphere around him. In a place similar to an ancestral hall, several officials in fox fur were eating around the stove.

Judging from the attire, he is definitely a Daxia bureaucrat.

But there is something wrong with the guys waiting on me.

"fox?"

Several of the maidservants are not human beings, but vixens, with low cultivation and weak magic power. They probably cannot withstand the attack of a hunter.

"It's interesting."

Wei Hao immediately guessed, "Could it be that the generosity of 'Dong Bohou' has something to do with the inhuman spirits?"

This is not impossible.

From the perspective of others, aren't Wei Hao and Wang Fubo cooperating with the spirits?

What they did, "Dong Bohou" naturally did too.

But there was another thing that Wei Hao found strange. The men in "Jiangjiagou" were over-exercised, and not all the people in "Jiangjiagou" died.

There are still men, old and weak women and children left. There are thousands and hundreds of people.
To be continued...
