Chapter 1053 Blood Demon Ridge
Gaowan ignored us.

He kicked the triangle eye several times, and after he was completely relieved, he said to his subordinates with an extremely stern face: "Leave him in the village! It's up to him to live or die! Let's set off on time!"

To die is not to die.

The Miao villagers are very simple.

I won’t just watch people starve to death here.

But how long does it take for him to digest the big meal?
It's hard to tell.

In any case, after this time bomb was removed, at least Xiaozhu was safe all the way.

The people in Gaowan began to pack their things.

We also packed our things. Apart from clothes and dry food from Grandma He’s house, we brought nothing else.

Xiaozhu helped Granny He get down from the stilted building.

There was a black cloth package hanging around the old lady's neck, and she didn't know what was inside. She walked tremblingly, couldn't see her eyes, her body looked frail, and her face was full of worry.

I'm even worried that she won't be able to reach her destination.

President Liu once told me that Grandma He, as the female Gu King, was very impressive in the past and was a feared existence in the western Hunan area. When she got old, she still suffered such bullying. It was just a trick of fate.

The main prop for President Liu and me is the sedan chair.

Two bamboo poles with a chair in the middle. The legs of the chair and the bamboo poles are tied with ropes. It is very simple.

Xiaozhu helped Granny He get into the sedan chair.

President Liu and I lifted up the sedan and walked forward, while Xiaozhu followed beside the sedan.

Gao Wan and others were extremely well equipped and followed us.

The old lady's body is very thin and very light, only about 60 pounds. With the abilities of President Liu and I, it is really easy.

But the pain is that we are ordinary mountain people now. We can only show our strength and dare not use the breathing method in Qigong to walk on the mountain road. It is easy to show our ability, but it is more difficult to forcibly suppress our ability. We walk very awkwardly. Instead, he made himself sweat profusely.

But that's fine too.

Flaws are not easy to find.

A group of people plunged into the vast Wuling Mountain!

During the march, I carefully observed Xiang Liu's team of seven. Miao Gu Master did not know martial arts. The other five were relatively powerful, but they were no match for the three of us. Only Gao Wan This guy walked such a rugged mountain road without blushing or panting. His belly was constantly inflating and indenting, giving people a feeling of calmness.

This man is a qigong master!
I don’t know if the Yin Qigong taught to me by my dear eldest brother Guan Hong can beat him in seconds. I really want to try it.

From the overall strength point of view, with the abilities of the three of us, if we want to break out, no matter how powerful Gao Wan is, these people will basically be defeated.

But we can't do that for the time being.

The Tian family's highest goal is to seize the coffin and collect sesame seeds. If they all die, Granny He's granddaughter will definitely die too.

Grandma He knew that Gao Wan and others were all dead on the mountain. She must have known that her granddaughter abroad could not be saved, and she would definitely not take the three of us to find Qilin Coffin Zhi.

This is the most basic logical relationship for the trip to Wuling Mountain.

I understand better the reason why the Tian family did not send Xia Xilai this time.

According to Xia Fengxian's character, he would never care about the life and death of Grandma He's granddaughter. He might have taken action against Gao Wan and others halfway.Wuling Mountain is rugged and difficult to navigate, with dense broad-leaved forests everywhere and thorns at your feet.

We followed the direction marked by the map in our mind and headed west.

Grandma He would sometimes touch the leaves on the side and chew a few mouthfuls to make us walk in a different direction.

The first two days were basically uneventful.

When we rested at night, the people in Gaowan probably feared that we would freeze to death on the mountain, so they threw two tents for us. Xiaozhu and Grandma He lived in one tent, and President Liu and I lived in one tent.

But these birdmen eat separate food from us.

Every day when we set up camp, Gao Wan and others were far away from us. The Miao Gu Master still sprayed medicine outside their tents to prevent insects and snakes as before. Of course, he would not come to spray medicine on our two tents, but We are not afraid even if Grandma He is here.

This girl Xiaozhu gets along very well with Granny He, and sometimes she can amuse the old man. When she is resting, Granny He will touch Xiaozhu's head with a kind face, as if an old grandmother loves her granddaughter.

This may be the so-called old man's fate.

Hu Sanmiao, Mrs. Anjia, Grandma He...

They all like Xiaozhu very much.

On the third day.

The team has reached the depths of Wuling Mountain, where the broad-leaved forest blocks out the sky and sun. We seem to be isolated from the whole world.

at dusk.

The four of us ate grain cakes and rested early.

Xiaozhu came over and asked: "Brother Shapi, Brother Deshou, do you have any clothes that you want to change? There is mountain spring water over there. I will take it to wash it."

I saw Xiaozhu's eyes blinking, as if she had something to say, so I said to her: "You have been tired for the whole day, let's go together, just take a few showers."

After speaking.

The three of them left the tent and ran to the spring to rub their clothes.

Seeing that I was far away from the camp, I asked Xiaozhu, "What's wrong?"

Xiaozhu said: "Grandma He just told me quietly that the area I will pass through tomorrow is called 'Blood Demon Ridge', and there will be blood demons that eat people. To pass through the Blood Demon Ridge, you need to apply sun-blocking cream on your feet. The blood demon will not discover the yang energy in people, otherwise their lives will be in danger, and she even asked us to tell Gao Wan and others."

I frowned and asked, "She is a Gu woman, how can she talk about these feudal superstitions?"

President Liu said: "No! Witchcraft and witchcraft, witchcraft first and then witchcraft. In Miaogu's eyes, all witchcraft actually come from the power of gods. Granny He's thinking is very normal. The old lady is not doing well these days. Talk, now we are suddenly reminded that something weird should happen ahead."

I asked: "What does the old lady mean that she has ointment on her body and wants to protect the entire team?"

Xiaozhu nodded: "Yes! That's why I came here to tell you."

I said: "This old lady is too kind!"

Chairman Liu said: "She is probably worried about the safety of her granddaughter."

I said to Xiaozhu: "You go back and tell the old lady later that we have told Gao Wan and others what she said in full." Gao Wan replied, they have their own awesome Gu Master, and the Blood Demon Ridge is as smooth as walking on the ground. , they didn’t dare and didn’t need the sunscreen she gave them, and they also warned the old lady not to meddle in her own business and just take care of her old bones.”

Hearing this, Xiaozhu looked extremely surprised: "Huh?! If we don't apply sun cream on them, if they all die in Blood Demon Ridge without getting the Qilin Coffin Zhizhi, Grandma He must also know that her granddaughter is hopeless. We It’s impossible for the old lady to continue taking us into the mountains.”
