Si Tian Guan

    The more than ten miles from Dingling Hill to Chengsongling is not easy to walk.

    They left one person at the foot of the mountain to guard the horses and walked up the mountain on foot.

    Liu Chongming unfolded the map and took a look.

    Many herb collectors and woodcutters said they knew the locations of the three tombs. After a little inquiries, they had a clear direction.

      suffer.

    Although the sun above the head shines, it can be blocked by layers of tree crowns, and only a mottled light is left on the ground. Light shadows.

    The forest was very quiet, and occasionally a strange bird chirped, which sounded a little scary.

    Ding Lekang looked around, fell a few steps behind, came to Qu Chenzhou, and asked softly: "Qu Sitian, there are so many trees here, you say... those legendary tree demons, will they In groups?"

    Although they estimated that the strangeness and the strange tree here are two different things, the news that came early in the morning was not the same.

    The middle-aged businessman Qu Chenzhou asked them to stare at yesterday still lost his whereabouts. He disappeared when he went to the side to release water.

    The place where the people disappeared was not far from the Chengpine Ridge, so they had to be vigilant.

    "Impossible," Liu Chongming interjected in front: "Since that thing only picks the single person to start, it must have scruples about the crowd. If there are so many monsters in groups, the whole The hills can't be preserved."

    Qu Chenzhou looked at the position of the sun and replied, "It shouldn't be. If the movement is so big, Sanmian Prefecture will send troops sooner rather than just some verbal rumors."

    Ding Lekang responded, feeling a little relieved.

    Although he is holding Jin Wuwei, it is the first time that he has encountered such a ghost.

    He took two more breaks, and when he looked up at the west-sloping sun, he suddenly raised his voice: "No."

    "It's not right," Liu Chongming looked around calmly: "In broad daylight, there are really ghosts hitting the wall."

    Not far in front of them, a clump of yellow mushrooms grew out of the dead half of the tree. This is the place they have walked twice.

    "A ghost?"

    Ding Lekang and several entourages drew their weapons at the same time and looked around vigilantly.

    "There are indeed ghosts."

    Qu Chenzhou's physical strength is not as good as the others, he has been surrounded by walking in the middle, only then stepped forward and took the map from Liu Chongming's hand.

    "There are ghosts in you." He pointed in one direction: "I have been curious since just now, there is a road over there, why are you all going around the same place. Go this way."

    "Wait, over there..." Ding Lekang thought he had fallen for evil, and just sounded to warn that there were thorns in front of him, and he couldn't walk, but he saw Qu Chenzhou walking straight, just an ordinary tree But the tree, next to the tree is a road where the grass has been trampled down.

     Even Liu Chongming was inexplicably surprised, but immediately followed.

    Only walking out of a cup of tea, the scene I see is no longer the place I passed before, through the mottled canopy, I can even see smoke dissipating.

    Ding Lekang finally worshipped: "Qu Sitian is really a god."

    Qu Chenzhou waved his hand to silence him, then pointed forward: "Is there someone in front?"

    There is smoke in the air, if this is the place they are looking for, it is obvious that someone is worshipping now.

    Sure enough, as Xiao Er said, she just couldn't find the way up the mountain, but it was only a near miss.

    The tiredness of climbing the mountain in the middle of the afternoon was swept away, everyone quickened their pace, and soon they could see the fire from the cracks in the woods.

      The ashes were blown away by the mountain wind.

      The two looked at each other more.

    Hearing the footsteps here, the two also raised their heads together.

    Ding Lekang waved his hand, and the attendant behind him drew a knife and surrounded him: "Who!"

    "Don't be rude!" Qu Chenzhou scolded and waved his hands to make everyone back off.

    Before he stepped forward, the blind young man walked towards him at a rapid pace. Although he was blind, his steps were light and steady, as if he could see the road.

    Liu Chongming considers himself to be well-informed. It can be seen that his appearance is also a little numb, but he still takes a step sideways and stops people halfway: "Stop!"

    "Sir!" The young man stood up in a good-natured manner, and across Liu Chongming, gave Qu Chenzhou a deep salute, surprised and delighted, and very attentive.

    "Sir, we met again, do you remember us? Did you come here to play? Have you eaten? Where do you live now? What's your name?"

    The young man behind him pulled him hard, and reminded softly: "An Ning, you talk like this in a topsy-turvy manner, it will scare people."

    Everyone's eyes were on Qu Chenzhou, even Qu Chenzhou himself was inexplicably surprised: "You know me?"

    "In the past, I received a lot of attention from my husband, but I have never been able to meet him again," the young man's voice was gentle, but he looked very nervous, like a child who didn't go out often was pushed into full view, He pinched his fingers uneasily and asked, "Dare to ask Mr., have you ever found Chongming?"

    This time it was Liu Chongming's turn to stay for a while: "Find me?"

    The two people who looked alike looked at each other with a sigh of relief and laughed.

    "Congratulations to the two of you for renewing the front line and connecting again."

    Liu Chongming groaned in his heart.

      is wrong.

    "What nonsense are you talking about!" He scolded: "Who are you!"

    "I'm sorry, I forgot, I'm really sorry... My name is An Ning," the man pointed to his companion behind him: "His name is Yan Guiqi, and the thank you gift to Mr. I met by chance today, I didn't bring it with me, I'll go get it... Can you wait here, sir..."

    "I don't know you guys, and I'm not the gentleman you said, so don't talk nonsense," Qu Chenzhou interrupted him coldly, and glanced at the wooden bird over there: "You guys are playing tricks on mysteries. First of all, I don't care who you are, I will go to the yamen with us and talk about it later."

    The young man named An Ning did not expect that Qu Chenzhou was full of hostility, and immediately panicked: "Sir, I am not..."

    He was clumsy at words, his eyes flickered, even more suspicious, as if he was about to step forward and was pulled by another person.

    "An Ning, let's go first, he doesn't remember."

    "Stop for me!" Ding Lekang suddenly shouted, without saying a word, he slashed at An Ning.

    The power of his knife is like a tornado and thunder.

    The attendants screamed in horror behind them.

    "Dare to touch the peace?"

    "Ah...return, don't..."

    Ding Lekang reluctantly shouted: "All around!"

    I don't know how many branches stand out from the soil, as if a shield wall suddenly grows, blocking everyone.

    In the dust, the huge wooden bird squeaked and lifted the two people into the air, and the sound came from mid-air.

    "Thank you for your help, Mr. Today is not the time to talk, we will meet you another day."

    As early as when Ding Lekang dropped the knife, Liu Chongming quickly fit Qu Chenzhou and pounced, rolled beside him, and was busy letting go of people before everyone got up in dismay.

    Seeing the roots and branches on the ground shrink into the soil, everyone's faces are ashen.

    Before coming to Chengsongling, no one expected to encounter such a thing.

    "The tree... the tree demon?" Someone finally held back the fear and spoke in a trembling voice.

    Qu Chenzhou also turned pale, stood up and patted the soil on his body, but did not speak, and did not look at Liu Chongming beside him.

    Things were completely out of his expectations.

    The two strange and inexplicable people are clearly their dubious "tree demon", completely contrary to his previous vows.

    To make matters worse, the two seemed to be quite friendly with themselves, and even said Zhongming's name.

    Everything is tangled together into an unsolvable knot.

    The eyes of several people looking at him are not the same as before.

    He took a slow breath and commanded: "Search around to see if there is anyone else?"

    No one obeyed his orders, Ding Lekang pointed at him with half a saber: "Qu Chenzhou! Who are they! Who are you!"

    Several attendants looked at each other and turned their blades.

    "He knew the monster just now..."

    "The monster's ghost hits the wall, and can't stop Qu Sitian..."

     "What is Qu Sitian! He's a monster!" Ding Lekang scolded sharply: "What are you leading us here for!"

    Everything went off track.

    Youkai…

    These two words are layered on top of each other, and it seems that countless people once called him that.

    Little monster, kill him...

    Qu Chenzhou's hand was slightly clenched in his sleeve, looking at Liu Chongming as if he was afraid, he stepped back in front of him, and stood opposite him... beside Ding Lekang.

    "I don't know them," he took a step forward, his legs trembling: "I'm not a monster either!"

    Ding Lekang couldn't help but take a half step back under the staring eyes of those pair of demon pupils. When he saw Liu Chongming in the corner of his eye, he became more courageous.

    "Sir! Let's take him down together! Let's see what he is!"

    "Okay, together..."

    They were too close, Rao Shi Ding Lekang was immediately alert, and the sword also slashed from the shoulder to the side.

    "Liu Chongming! You're crazy!" Ding Lekang's knife fell to the ground, covering the wound and scolding: "Do it! Do it quickly!"

    "You dare to call him a monster!" Liu Chongming pouted: "What the **** are you!"

      The closest person to the boat.

    The man was startled by a series of sudden changes at first, until he saw the sharp sword pointed at him, he suddenly woke up, grabbed Qu Chenzhou's shoulder with one hand, and quickly raised the knife horizontally with the other.

    "Don't come..."

    Before he finished speaking, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and a short sword stabbed out of Qu Shenzhou's sleeve and nailed it into his heart.

    "Well done." Liu Chongming took the time to boast, without turning his head, he rushed towards the other side.

    The man fell to the ground, vomited several mouthfuls of blood, and suddenly burst into tears.

    "Qu...Qu Sitian, don't eat me, I haven't hurt you...I'm also following orders..."

    His words came to an abrupt end, and he fell to the ground, with two swords in his chest and back.

    "Ding Lekang escaped down the mountain." Liu Chongming drew his sword and threw it at him: "Don't let him run away!"

    The ghost hit the wall has disappeared, he followed the blood on the soil all the way down, and after running for a while, he suddenly realized that they were holding hands.

    The hand that had been shaken countless times in the dream was held by him so naturally, without breaking free.

    He stared uncontrollably, his eyes almost popping out, if it wasn't for being yanked by someone, he would have almost hit the tree head-on.

    Liu Chongming hurriedly restrained his expression and did not dare to be distracted again.

    It didn't take long for him to start. He thought he would catch up with the injured person soon, but the bloodstain disappeared suddenly.

    Everywhere is weird, they didn't dare to disperse, they chased forward together for a while, and had to turn back to find someone.

    Other people are going to die, Ding Lekang can't stay, even if he dies, he has to see the body with his own eyes.

     The footprints are gone."

    A person who is so seriously injured may bandage the wound, but it is impossible to cover up the heavy footprint.

    Qu Chenzhou did not look down at him, but his eyes fell on a tree not far away. The half-dried trunk revealed a dark tree hole with yellow mushrooms growing on it.

    "Why are you here again?"

    He slowly stepped forward and took a closer look at the mushrooms, feeling that it was different from the ones he had seen before.

    The mushrooms just now seemed to be only bright yellow, but now the spire is dyed with a faint blush.

    Someone was pulling his sleeve.

    "Wait a minute, I'll take a look here..."

    He was about to pull back his sleeves, and wanted to reach out to pick a mushroom to have a look, but his wrist was grabbed, and it felt rough to the touch, not like a human hand.

    "Sink the boat!" A snarling roar ran towards him with the sound of crazy footsteps: "Get out of there! Hurry up!"

    Qu Shenzhou hurriedly turned his head and saw the winding and dry branches wrapped around his wrists, climbing up toward his arms.

    A drop of blood dripped from the sky on the shoulder.

    He looked up in horror, and saw Ding Lekang wrapped in cobweb-like branches above his head, and countless branches were like an iron cage, covering him head-on.

    The author has something to say:    It’s not good to write too much about Anning, I’m afraid of distracting guests, just know that Anning is a friendly army, and was almost shot by a sinking boat hundreds of years ago Shi Lai, and later turned an enemy into a friend. I’m in retreat and rushing towards the end. Now it’s all in the manuscript box. If you feel confused and don’t understand it, it’s still an old practice. You’ll understand it later. PS: An Ning this person , in terms of being stupid and timid, it is the most outstanding among the cubs [a specialty that is not worth being proud of...]
