Chapter 517 Strange Traces

The farther Yan Xiaokai and his party went, the more rugged and steep the mountain road became, and the less people visited.

But it is also true, the cemetery of Yan’s ancestors is in an extremely remote mountain and old forest, at least ten kilometers away from the village. For chopping firewood, mowing grass, herding cattle, or having a tryst in the field, you can do it on the mountain near the village. , there is absolutely no need to run so far.

In fact, this is indeed the case. After walking for six or seven kilometers, the mountain road leading to the cemetery is overgrown with weeds and almost completely covered by vegetation, making it difficult to recognize!

While Yan Xiaokai had to support Shang Xin behind him, he also used his hands to push away the weeds and weeds blocking the middle of the road, so his walking speed slowed down.

As she was walking, she suddenly heard a slight "hoo" from behind, as if the sound of a sharp knife being drawn out of its sheath. She looked back suspiciously, and was immediately startled, because Yu Nu pulled out the sharp soft sword hidden in her waist, Standing with a sword in his hand, his eyes looked directly at himself.

Yan Xiaokai couldn't react, "That... Yunu, what do you want?"

Yu Nu's long sword pointed forward slowly, pointing the tip at him, "Master, if I kill you here, do you think Master will know?"

Yan Xiaokai looked left and right, and the surrounding vegetation was densely covered with thorns and thorns. If he was killed, let alone know, even the corpse would be hard to find, so he asked with a chill in his heart: "Are you telling the truth or not?"

Yu Nu was expressionless and asked indifferently, "What do you think?"

Yan Xiaokai didn't answer but instead asked: "What good will it do you to kill me?"

Yu Nu said: "At least I don't have to be directed by people shouting and cursing."

Yan Xiaokai said sadly: "Yu Nu, is your resentment towards me really so deep?"

Looking at the two men who were getting more murderous, Shang Xin didn't seem too anxious, instead he said gloatingly, "It's only deeper, not the deepest! Ada, it seems that you have done too many bad things, and you have already provoked people's resentment." Already!"

Yan Xiaoke couldn't laugh or cry, "Shang Xin, do you think she will let you live after I die?"

Now, it was Shang Xin's turn to be stunned, without making a sound.

Yan Xiao raised his chest suddenly, with a resolute expression, and said decisively: "Okay, if you really want to kill me, you can come!"

Yu Nu asked suspiciously, "Aren't you going to fight back?"

Yan Xiaokai shook his head slowly.

Yu Nu asked again: "Why?"

Yan Xiaokai said flatly: "Because your acting is too fake."

Yu Nu was startled, looked at Shang Xin who was on his shoulder and asked, "Is it really so fake?"

Shang Xin nodded, "It's too fake, your tone isn't cold enough, your murderous intent isn't strong enough, and your eyes were still smiling when you said you were going to kill someone. You look like this, a fool thinks you're really going to kill someone!"

Yu Nu was defeated, the long sword in her hand weakened weakly, and she sighed: "It seems that I really don't have the talent for acting!"

"Did you just know now?" Yan Xiaokai snorted coldly, and then shouted: "Stop giggling, if you want to open the way, hurry up and open the way, what are you kidding, this kind of joke is not funny at all!"

Yu Nu gave him a resentful look, took two quick steps to pass him, and swung her long sword to cut off the weeds and thorns blocking the road to open the way ahead.

As they continued walking, Shang Xin asked in a low voice, "Ada, what have you done to Yu Nu?"

Yan Xiaokai thought about it seriously and said, "I didn't do anything except what she just said."

Shang Xin thought for a while and said, "Then you really deserve to die!"

Yan Xiaokai: "..."

After a pause, Shang Xin said again: "Ada, did you seem very scared just now?"

Yan Xiaokai snorted and said: "I'm not afraid! Yunu really wants to fight me, it's not certain who will win!"

Shang Xin propped up a little bit, stretched her hand in from the back of his neck, touched it, took it out and put it in front of his eyes, "Look, what is this?"

Yan Xiaokai said: "Sweat!"

"Cold sweat to be exact!" Shang Xin corrected, and sneered, "I said you're not afraid!"

Yan Xiaokai argued: "I'm not a robot, and you weigh at least ninety pounds. After walking with you for so long, can I not be tired? If I am tired, can I not sweat?"

Shang Xin said, "Then why don't you sweat everywhere except your back?"

Yan Xiaokai looked embarrassed, "How do I know, maybe the sweat glands on the back are more developed!"

Shang Xin snorted, "I've seen some shameless people, but I've never seen such a shameless one."

When the two were competing, Yu Nu, who was leading the way in front, stopped suddenly and let out a "Huh".

Yan Xiaokai also immediately stopped, and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

Yunu pointed to the mountain road ahead and said, "It seems that someone has been here before us."

Yan Xiaokai said disapprovingly: "If you've been here, you've come here. What's so strange, you rely on mountains to eat mountains, and rely on water to eat water. Maybe they are villagers who drive cattle and cut trees!"

Yu Nu pointed at a small tree in front of her with the tip of her sword that was cut off at the root but had a thick mouth and said, "Can ordinary villagers cut this tree down with a single knife?"

Yan Xiaokai let Shang Xin off, went up to take a closer look at the tree that had been cut down, and found that the cut was neat and smooth, without any creases in the middle, obviously it was severed by someone with a sharp knife!

Puzzled in his heart, he took out the hatchet that had been placed in advance from the basket containing the sacrifices, and then chopped down another tree of similar size next to it.

With a sound of "pia!", the tree snapped off, leaving a fresh and neat cut, which was almost exactly the same as the previous one.

Yu Nu asked, "How is it?"

Yan Xiaokai frowned and said: "This person at least has my third or fourth success ability, he is obviously a master!"

Shang Xin laughed loudly when he heard it, "You two sounded very powerful. From my point of view, this was just hacked by an ordinary villager! There's nothing to make a fuss about."

Yan Xiaokai didn't make any excuses, he just swung the hatchet across and handed it to her, saying, "Go and try!"

Shang Xin didn't talk nonsense, picked up the hatchet, and hopped to find a tree that was about the same size as the two just now. After posing properly, he held the hatchet tightly with both hands, and chopped at the tree with all his strength.

With a sound of "pia!", the tree shook, leaving a shallow cut, but Shang Xin's knife was shaken and fell out of his hand.

Shang Xin stood there blankly, clutching his hands that were numb and aching from the shock, saw Yan Xiaokai's playful expression, and asked embarrassingly, "Why is this tree so hard?"

Yan Xiaokai ignored her, picked up the hatchet and put it in the basket that Yu Nu was carrying, and then asked: "Yu Nu, what do you think?"

"Judging from the old and new marks of the cut and the overflowing grease, it should have been half a month since this tree was cut down." Yu Nu said, and the tip of the sword pointed at another thorn that had also been cut down. : "Master, look, there is more than one master like this!"

Yan Xiaokai took a closer look and found that the thorns were also cut off neatly, but the direction of the knife was exactly the same, obviously it was not done by the same person.

For a while, Monk Zhang Er was a little puzzled, why did these masters come to this deep mountain and old forest?

After thinking for a while to no avail, Yan Xiaokai said: "Go ahead and have a look!"

The three of them continued to move forward, inspecting carefully all the way, and found that there were many similar traces on the road, and sometimes the traces would change suddenly, instead of going along the mountain road, they would go up or down the mountain road. A gap was opened, only to disappear suddenly after tens or hundreds of meters, and then return to the mountain road.

Such traces continued on the mountain road until the three of them arrived at the cemetery where Yan Xiaokai wanted to worship.

Looking at the endless mountain road ahead, Yan Xiaokai didn't move on, but led the two girls into the roadside cemetery, picked up a hatchet and began to clear the weeds around the cemetery.

The two women sat side by side to rest at the side of the cemetery, looking at the busy Yan Xiaokai, Yu Nu couldn't help asking: "Master, did you find anything?"

Yan Xiaokai, who was weeding, paused for a moment, raised his head and said, "I feel like these people are looking for something."

Yu Nu said, "What giant snake and beast are you looking for?"

Yan Xiaokai shook his head and said, "I don't know, let's continue to explore after the worship. Let's see what kind of plane these people are doing?"

Yu Nu was about to nod, but Shang Xin yelled, "Should I still go? I'm almost exhausted. Let's go back quickly after worshiping! Even if those people are really masters, if they really want to find some rare treasures, What does it have to do with us?"

Yu Nu said: "We are just curious!"

Shang Xin said, "Sister Yu, curiosity sometimes kills not only cats, but people as well."

Yu Nu froze for a moment, then nodded and said, "That makes sense."

After Yan Xiaokai cleaned up the weeds and roots, set up sacrifices, weighed twelve dragon coins, then started to burn oil candles, and then set off a string of firecrackers, and then began to burn incense, still muttering What.

After burning the incense, he saw the two women still sitting there motionless, so he said, "Hey, you two, come over and burn the incense."

Yu Nu was about to stand up, but Shang Xin stopped her, then glared at Yan Xiaokai and said, "We are not the daughter-in-law of your Yan family."

Yan Xiao couldn't help but laugh, "Does it have to be a daughter-in-law to offer incense?"

Shang Xin said: "Since you are not a daughter-in-law, why should you offer incense?"

Yan Xiaokai was defeated, so he had no choice but to say: "Okay, I admit that you are the daughter-in-law of the Yan family, let's offer incense!"

Shang Xin blushed, spat lightly on him, then stood up, hopped over, took three sticks of incense and began to worship.

Yan Xiaokai has one eye and two big eyes, really want to be the daughter-in-law of my Yan family?When he was in a daze, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Yu Nu was blinking at him continuously...

After the three paid their respects, they packed up their things, walked out of the cemetery and returned to the mountain road. Looking at the mountain road that was still extending forward, Yan Xiaokai really wanted to explore again.

But before he could speak, Shang Xin, who was back on his back, begged for mercy: "Ada, please don't go, I'm really tired."

Hearing her weak voice, Yan Xiaokai had no choice but to give up, and then scolded: "I know I'm tired, I told you not to come, but you still want to come."

Shang Xin curled her lips and remained silent.

But Yunu interjected: "If you don't come, how can you offer incense to your ancestors, how can you let them know that they have such a granddaughter-in-law?"

Shang Xin's face was full of embarrassment, and she scolded: "Sister Yu, you are dead, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Yu Nu smiled, "I'm not wrong!"

Yan Xiaokai nodded, "Yes, you're right, you just offered incense too!"

Yu Nu: "..."

Seeing her embarrassed expression, Yan Xiaokai was immediately happy, he weighed Shang Xin on his back, and said with a happy face: "That's great, I have two more daughters-in-law out of thin air after paying homage to my ancestors. Hey, tonight you The two of you must remember to come to sleep with you!"

Two women: "..."
