I have a long pupil

Chapter 133 The Weird Cottage

"A place where evil things gather?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Biao asked: "Did Taoist Master Xu Yuan mention it, what kind of evil is it?"

Zheng Yongxiang smiled wryly and said: "The Taoist priest just said not to get close. How dare you talk too much when you are an ordinary person."

Wang Xin was very anxious, "Will they...will stray into the path where evil things gather?"

"probably not."

Zheng Yongxiang shook his head and said: "As early as when the heavy fog came, there were many visions on that mountain road, covered by forest fog, none of the people who strayed in could come out, and some people saw giant snakes several feet long crawling in the bamboo forest. Spray clouds and mist."

"I was ordered by the Taoist priest to engrave a stone tablet as a warning. The people in Shanyindu know about this, and no one dares to go that way..."

Hearing this, Zhang Biao got up and said, "Since that's the case, there's no need to delay. I'll leave now, thank you."

Wang Xin was even more anxious, and hurriedly packed his bags.

"Master Immortal, don't worry."

Zheng Yongxiang hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "I'll order all the soldiers and horses, and go with the immortal master, and take the three villages together."

Wang Xin was in a bad mood, and said with a sneer, "You want to take advantage of the wind? Could it be that the holiday news deceived me?"

"How dare you lie to me?"

Zheng Yongxiang was taken aback, and quickly explained: "To Moyang City, there are two roads by water and land. It is very dangerous to walk on the water road from time to time with river monsters and water ghosts, and the mountain road is occupied by bandits."

"Huaizhou is like this, the mountain bandits are mowed like grass and grow long. We were going to suppress the bandits, but because of the fog and disaster, we became the cover of those mountain bandits, and the spies we sent never came back, so we delayed. "

Zhang Biao frowned and said: "With the help of Daoist Xu Yuan, it's just a few cottages, it's not hard to find it?"

"The fairy master doesn't know something."

Zheng Yongxiang looked distressed, "Daoist Xu Yuan only promised to help us build a temple to resist ghosts, and other things... don't care much."

What he said, Zhang Biao instantly understood.

The Zongmen borrowed the power of the local wealthy family, and it was just a pure exchange of benefits, so how could they help with all their strength. Xuandu Guan was able to build a temple to ensure the survival of most people, and it was already considered a decent family.

Besides, Xu Yuan is very arrogant, he can get along with him as an equal, but he is superior to Zheng Yongxiang, he can order him around at will, how can he help them suppress the bandits.

Having figured this out, Zhang Biao didn't care, nodded slightly and said, "Yes, but you must follow my orders for this trip. If you act without authorization, you will be at your own risk."

"Thank you Xianchang."

Zheng Yongxiang was overjoyed when he heard the words, and almost knelt down to thank him.

He is the concubine of the Zheng family, who had no chance to enter the sect to cultivate, and was arranged at the gate of Huaizhou. He seemed to be a beautiful man, but in fact he was caught between the family and Xu Yuan, and he was angry at both ends.

If you can get through the land route, it will be considered a great achievement.

Thinking of this, he hurried out of the tent, ordered nearly 300 soldiers and horses under his command, held swords and bows, and lit torches.

When Zhang Biao and two came out, there were already a lot of men outside the tent, and the torches were blazing, illuminating the dense fog into a hazy yellow.

These are the Huaizhou garrison in name, but in fact many of them are Xiang Yong, a son of Zheng's family. They have known Zhang Biao's identity in the past two days, and they are full of confidence.

With such a movement, the people of Shanyindu were naturally awakened.

They saw each other off along the way, some people offered drinks from time to time, and many women waited and watched with children in their arms.

"Father! Father!"

"Don't worry, little fish, if we get through the mountain road, we will be able to afford salt, so stay at home and wait obediently..."

Zheng Yongxiang and Zhang Biao rode in front, and explained in a low voice when they saw this: "There are phosphorite mines near Shanyindu, but there is no salt rice. damage, and the price of salt has skyrocketed."

Zhang Biao was thoughtful, "The fog disaster lasted for a long time. I'm afraid there is no hope for food this year. Has Xuandu Guan ever said how to solve it?"

This is the focus of competition in the mist disaster.

If the Liang Dynasty had a method of growing food, I am afraid that there would be no urgency to start a war. If the sect wanted to gain a foothold, there must be a way.

When Zheng Yongxiang heard this, he hesitated for a long time, looked around carefully, and then said in a low voice: "When the spring begins, the fog disaster has not yet come. Several major families in Huaizhou have been ordered to recruit a large number of farmers to go to Bozhou."

"I once asked the elders of the clan, they said that there is no need to worry, as long as you persist until autumn, the food shortage will be solved..."

Zhang Biao nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

It seems that he guessed right, the sect should have the method of imperial planting, which is probably also a means of controlling the local wealthy family.

What Zhang Biao didn't know was that not long after he left Shanyindu, Taoist Xuyuan rushed back with two monks.

One of them was wearing the Taoist robe of Xuandu Taoism like him.

The other person is dressed in linen with a sword on his back and a full beard, like a down-and-out swordsman.

"Going to suppress bandits?"

Seeing the empty camp, after Xu Yuan asked the reason, he was immediately annoyed, "This Tai Sui is also not clear-headed, why meddle in ordinary people's affairs?"

The accompanying Taoist Xuandu said with a smile: "After all, he is a wild cultivator without foundation, Senior Brother Xu Yuan, why do you have to take him there?"

Xuyuan Fochen shook his head and said: "You don't understand, I am good at the art of looking at Qi, although Tai Sui tried his best to hide it, but most of them have already cultivated to the state of body forging."

"The realm of body forging is impossible!"

The swordsman in hemp said coldly: "Even among those who are blessed on the mountain, there are not many who have reached the state of physical training. Most of them cultivated indiscriminately, and they didn't know it when they were backlashed."

"If we act recklessly, whoever can't reach the state of body training, a wild cultivator is a wild cultivator, and no matter how famous he is, he will destroy his own foundation."

"Forget it, if this kind of person enters the imperial mausoleum, once he gets caught, it will be a disaster. The three of us are enough."

"Alright."

Xu Yuan shook his head and said: "I wanted to use him to hold back the Yanjia sect, but I forgot about this, two fellow Taoists, let's go."

After finishing speaking, the three of them left Shanyin Ferry, took advantage of the night, and disappeared into the thick fog in the dense forest...

…………

Goooo!

In the darkness, a night owl chirped.

Originally it was late at night, coupled with the heavy fog, even if the torches were blazing, walking on the mountain road, 50 meters away, it was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

After leaving Shanyin Ferry, everyone was cautious.

Zheng Yongxiang said loudly: "Hurry up, raise the talisman flag to deter demons and monsters!"

As he spoke, he explained to Zhang Biao: "Traveling in the shadows of the mountains, there is no temple to guard, fog and disasters come, and ghosts often appear. I spent a lot of money to buy the talisman from Daoist Xu Yuan."

Zhang Biao was curious, turned his head and was speechless.

I saw only a talisman attached to the huge flag. I checked it with the eyes of spiritual vision. It was called the Xuanguang Suppressing Evil Talisman. It did have some effect, but it was only a first-grade yellow grade.

"There is movement!"

Before the words fell, someone exclaimed in front of him.

In the dense fog, there was a figure standing on the right side of the mountain road, covered in blood, with his head lowered and motionless, his figure flickering.

"Everyone, don't move!"

Zheng Yongxiang yelled quickly, "Don't worry, there is a fairy god talisman, that thing dare not approach, let's wait for a while, that thing will go away."

"It's just a dead soul."

Zhang Biao frowned, "Didling, wasting time, step forward to show the way, just follow me!"

After all, he rode his horse to the front of the team.

Zheng Yongxiang's scalp tightened, but he didn't dare to refute. He and Wang Xin rode on the horse and came to the two sides of Zhang Biao.

Zhang Biao's identity had been leaked, and he no longer concealed it. He took out the Nuo mask and put it on his head, and his vision was immediately clear.

"Give me the torch!"

As soon as the order was given, someone immediately handed over the torch.

Zhang Biao circulated his true energy, and a trace of phoenix fire poured into the torch.

Bang!
In an instant, the raging flames rose, flickering with blood-colored light.

The phoenix fire is a fusion of Sanyang true fire, blood spirit root and blood in Zhang Biao's body, and its power to suppress evil is multiplied. Although there is only a trace, it makes the dead soul unbearable and disappears quickly.

"Follow me, speed up!"

Zhang Biao didn't explain, and rode out.

Just as he expected, the heavy fog came, and the obstacles in the spirit world disappeared, and ghosts became more rampant outside the scope of the River Temple.

But these are nothing more than little ghosts, and under the phoenix fire, they all run away crazily.

Swish!
In the dense forest, a black shadow flashed past. It was a ghost, which often haunts the mountains and forests. It can manipulate the fog in the forest to make ghosts hit the wall...

Squeak!

A thick fog was irradiated by the fire, and it screamed and quickly disintegrated. This is Lin Mei, like the water charm, who is good at confusing passers-by in the forest to hang himself...

Zhang Biao wears a Nuo mask on his head and walks with a fire to ward off all evil.

When all the soldiers saw this, their confidence increased greatly.

Zheng Yongxiang trembled even more excitedly, thinking in his heart: "This is Tai Sui, it really is the big devil..."

Naturally, Zhang Biao didn't know what the boy from the Zheng family was thinking, so he accelerated forward while checking the map.

When the sunrise was approaching Mao, he stopped.

There is a valley in front of you, the mountains on both sides are steep, the forest is deep and you don't know the way, the fog is shrouded, and there are occasional strange sounds coming from the darkness.

Zheng Yongxiang naturally didn't have the ability to penetrate the fog, but he was very familiar with this place. He lit a torch to distinguish the terrain, and then whispered: "Xianchang, this is this place."

"This place is called Heifeng Ridge. Before the heavy fog came, there was a group of green forest tyrants who felled grass here. The leader was Bai Xianzu, and the bandit was called Poison Hand King Kong..."

"Bai Xianzu!"

Wang Xin was stunned with a trace of panic, "This guy is hiding here, brother Biao, is he taking people for food?"

The Six Doors were originally in charge of Jianghu affairs, and many people with names, they all knew that Bai Xianzu was one of them.

This person was originally an expert in the army, he had made many military exploits, and he was considered to have a great future, but it was discovered that this guy did not know when he had contracted the bad habit of cannibalism, and then he was exiled in the rivers and lakes.

He is also the key focus of the Six Doors, but he was born as a spy in the army and is extremely vigilant, so he has escaped pursuit several times.

If it really falls into the hands of this guy, it will be more than auspicious.

Zhang Biao's heart sank slightly, and with a whistle, the black cat Yueying flew out accompanied by smoke and entered the dense forest.

"Meow!"

After a while, cat meowing came from the forest.

"Follow!"

Zhang Biao ordered everyone to enter the mountain path on the right, and soon found a rugged path leading to the top of the mountain.

After arriving here, everyone is no longer afraid.

A son of the Zheng family stepped forward to open the way. They had rich experience in fighting in the mountains and forests, and they kept stabbing into the pile of dead leaves with bamboo poles.

Snapped!
An iron beast trap jumped up.

Zheng Yongxiang inspected it carefully after receiving it, and saw that it was stained with rust, he immediately frowned and said: "It was placed a long time ago, and the machine is almost broken. Could it be that they didn't go down the mountain?"

Everyone was puzzled and speeded up.

The heavy fog makes it easy for Bandits to hide, but as long as they find a target to attack them, it is also a kind of cover.

"stop!"

When approaching the top of the mountain, Zhang Biao frowned, ordered everyone to stop, and then held a torch to cover him.

On the dark and damp old tree next to it, there is a decayed wooden house, which is obviously a sentry post, but it is already covered with moss and dilapidated.

And on the trunk, there is something hanging, it is a human-shaped cocoon, which is tightly wrapped in silk threads, covered with dust and dead leaves.

"Is it... spider silk?"

Zheng Yongxiang swallowed, and looked around nervously, "Xianchang, there is something wrong here."

Under Zhang Biao's signal, Wang Xin stepped forward with a knife and slashed.

clap la la...

Densely dense little black spiders swarmed out...
