196 Cave Down

Wei He shook his head slightly, turned around and left the yard.

I happened to see the two siblings again. They were looking for someone to ask them about their father.

It's just that there are too many people coming in here, and many people don't know who their father is at all, and they all shake their heads and say they don't know.

After asking for a while, I didn't know anything. My brother was about to cry, but my sister kept comforting him sensibly. Sometimes she squatted down and tried to hug her brother, and sometimes she sang to him.

"Sect Master..." A female disciple from the Wanqing Sect couldn't stand it anymore. She came closer and wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to speak.

"I know what you want to say." Wei He was silent for a moment, "For children like this, who are helpless, our Wanqing Sect can recruit them and train them together to become our disciples. Of course, the premise is that they are willing."

"Thank you, Master!" The female disciple wiped away her tears, suddenly became happy, and hurriedly walked towards the siblings.

Wei He left the yard, jumped up, and landed gently on the roof of a two-story building where no one was heard.

This is a middle-class family in Qingqi County. The head of the family is very kind and charitable. Except for the small population, there are no other shortcomings.

But this time the plague wiped out an entire family of five people.

In just half a month, the whole family was wiped out.

Situations like this are not uncommon in Qingqi County.

Every house hangs white silk ribbons and everyone is tied with black cloth.

On a normal day, a middle-class house like this would be empty and would have been visited by gangsters and thieves long ago.

But now, no one dares to come. Those who dared to come, and those who have come before, are gone.

Wei He stood on the stone tiles on the roof, overlooking the whole county.

The entire county is only about a dozen streets in size, surrounded by mountains on all sides, with a small river in the middle running through the county.

Looking from a distance on the river, you can still see white gauze lanterns placed by someone at this time. This is a unique mourning custom for rich families after someone dies.

Wei He did not stop and rushed towards Xuanjing.

Soon we left Qingqi County, and then Heshan County. The situation was slightly better, but it was still white everywhere, and paper money and white silk were everywhere.

After Heshan County, I passed several small villages, but they were all empty and desolate.

It is even more desolate than Feiye City before.

At least there was still Katori Sect in Feiye City at that time. Although it had bad intentions, it was still popular.

But here it has lost even its popularity.

‘Such a serious plague, the state capital should respond soon. It depends on how they respond. If they can’t, I’m afraid...’ Wei He had already made plans to move away at any time.

It seems that I can no longer stay near Xuanjing.

With a sigh, Wei He speeded up and rushed towards Xuanjing City. He had to talk to Wang Shaojun to see what the current situation was like.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

Jiuying's medicine made the man's condition much better, and as he was strong, his condition gradually improved.

There are not many such examples, but they are not absent either.

In order to thank Jiuying and Wei He for their help, the hunter took Wei He and finally entered the Black House Mountain.

Heiwu Mountain is a mountain range that is very big, as big as two Taizhous.

The middle spans thousands of miles, with countless seas of trees, poisonous insects, and endless mountains.

Wanqingmen only occupies less than 1% of the marginal area.

The hunter man took Wei He all the way deep, out of the Taizhou area, and headed straight for the main ridge of the Black House Mountains.

He seems to have some strange ability to accurately avoid the tracks of various ferocious beasts.

Soon, we came to a place deep in the mountains, in front of a large white pine tree.

White pine trees are extremely rare, and the one here has grown to be as thick as a person can hug it.

The surrounding pine trees are tall and straight, the light is slanting, and there is not much fog.

A small and delicate red squirrel stands on the hunter's shoulder.

At this time, the squirrel was looking far away and making a squeaking sound towards the mountain wall deep in the forest.

"It's over there. It's only more than a mile away from the cave at most. Go straight ahead. There's half a boulder blocking the entrance of the cave, and there's a mark I made on the stone." The man introduced briefly.

"Very good, please wait here while I go take a look." Wei He also poisoned the hunter to prevent him from doing anything.

He lightly scratched the pine tree with his hand, and immediately made several clearly visible scratches as marks.

After leaving the mark, he jumped up and rushed forward quickly.

Deep in the Black House Mountain.

A group of pine trees spread out, revealing a green slope in the middle.

There is a cave on the slope that seems to have artificial traces.

The cave is five meters high, and there is a large boulder at the door. The surface of the stone is covered with various moss and vines.

At this time, many people had gathered in the cave.

But most of these people don't dress like those from Taizhou.

They hold scimitars and small shields, wear white and gray headscarves, and their clothes and pants are all tattooed with dark red lace. Both men and women have lace.

The only thing that distinguishes the identity of these people is the style of their clothes and pants. Some have various knots, and some are simple and extremely plain.

Others have connected many pearls and jades.

There were more than ten people present, and all eyes were focused on the entrance of the cave.

There were several warriors dressed as Taizhou people there, who were blocking the entrance of the cave in a group and unable to enter.

There are also many warriors wearing turbans in the cave. They hold swords and shields and block the entrance of the cave to prevent anyone from entering.

"We discovered the true power of this cave wall first, Ge Muyi, why don't you let us in?" One of the Taizhou warriors said angrily.

"This is the state boundary. This cave has already reached our territory. Since it belongs to us, it belongs to us Jinzhou warriors. What qualifications do you have to look at it?"

A young man wearing a silver headscarf chuckled. He held a pipe in his hand, took a slight puff and blew out a smoke ring.

"Besides, the real power of this cave wall is for those who are capable. If you have the ability, you can rush in and hide it from us. Unfortunately, you don't have the ability." The man in the silver turban shook his head and smiled.

"You..." At this time, the Taizhou warrior wanted to speak, but suddenly he heard an exclamation from the people around him.

"It's Shasikui here! Flat-top sand knife Shasikui!"

"The Golden Ox Stick Romma Yi is also here!"

"The masters of the Chihua Sect are here too!"

"It's been four days, and everyone who is supposed to come has almost arrived."

The surrounding onlookers murmured and retreated further to avoid conflicts that would affect them.

The experts in turbans from Jinzhou arrived one by one. They were all wary of each other and had sharp eyes.

As for Taizhou, it was only supported by a few warriors from beginning to end.

After all, this place is too far away from the capital of Taizhou, and no one dares to cross the miasma and go deep here.

Unlike over there in Jinzhou, it has become a habit to stay with the miasma of poisonous insects all year round.

This cave wall true skill is a special true skill that was accidentally discovered on the stone wall in the cave before.

It runs through the details of the entire process from first blood to training the internal organs.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted the prying eyes of many forces.

Now that so many people have come at once, it is already the smallest number of people these days.

Soon, the warriors from Jinzhou took turns entering Shandong one by one to observe the real skills on the cave wall.

As time went by, almost most of the Jinzhou warrior forces present were given opportunities to rotate.

But there was still no news from the Taizhou warriors. Everyone was blocked by the cave and not allowed to enter.

Xue Dan, who took the lead, was so angry that he was shaking all over.

He and the warriors behind him all live in the safe area of ​​the Black House Mountains near Jinzhou.

The so-called safe area means that there is no miasma and there are few strange and ferocious beasts.

Because it is very close to Jinzhou Hunting Area, this mountainous area is actually not sparsely populated, and you can often see people coming in and out to collect herbs.

On weekdays, Xue Dan has no conflicts with these Jinzhou people, but once interests are involved, Jinzhou people will be quite united and unite with the outside world.

That's when.

A group of people with headscarves in Jinzhou took turns going in to observe and transcribe, but in the end they still refused to let Xue Dan and others in.

"I heard that there is another mystery behind the real power of the cave wall. It seems that there is also a large underground palace hidden. Could it be that they have been looking for the underground palace?"

"I really can't say for sure, otherwise there would be no need to spend so long just to do the real work on the cave wall."

The sound of someone discussing in low voices reached Xue Dan's ears.

When Xue Dan heard this, his heart became even more furious.

Strictly speaking, the area here is not just Jinzhou, but also part of Taizhou.

But this group of people actually refused to let them in to copy. This shows how overbearing they are.

You must know that they were the first people to truly discover the true power of the cave wall, and now they can't even enter the cave.

"Here comes Hero Lei Wu!" Suddenly a cry of surprise sounded from behind.

Xue Dan and others were immediately overjoyed.

Lei Wu is a Taizhou knight who is not weak in Jinzhou. He is very skilled in martial arts and often likes to fight injustices.

Soon, there was a strong man in black clothes and a white turban in the forest. He walked as fast as flying. He passed through the large grassland and shrubs in a few times and landed lightly near the cave.

"What's going on?" Lei Wu took a look and found that Xue Dan and others were blocked outside the cave entrance, so he immediately asked in a deep voice.

"Master Lei, you came at the right time." Xue Dan quickly stepped forward and explained the cause and effect one by one.

This is not the first time that warriors from the two states have fought over each other on this border.

The warriors in Jinzhou, both individual and powerful, are stronger than those in Taizhou.

Obviously Taizhou has more warriors, but Jinzhou is more united and exclusive.

The conflict between these two sides starts with business.

Taizhou is adept at martial arts and requires a large amount of food resources to supply the warriors in the state.

Jinzhou happens to be a major grain-producing land, and a large amount of grain flows in.

However, merchants were pursuing profits and always wanted to maximize profits when exporting grain. Seeing that Taizhou became more and more dependent on them, they began to slowly increase prices.

In addition to food, other resource commodities also had such price increases. As a result, Taizhou's impression of Jinzhou people gradually became extremely bad.

As a result, the saying gradually formed that there were many barbarians in Taizhou and many profiteers in Jinzhou.

At an important juncture of civil strife in Taizhou, the Jinzhou Chamber of Commerce took advantage of the situation, jointly negotiated prices, speculated on grains, raised market prices, and made a huge profit.

Since then, the hatred between the two parties has been completely forged.
