After noon, Shi Xuan and Ding Mingde were ready to leave because they had to rush to Yuhua Pavilion. The two stood up and said goodbye to Yan Jujian. At the same time, Ding Mingde politely invited Yan Jujian to accompany him. After all, both parties have the same destination and are meeting again. It would be rude and rude not to invite them. But after all, Yan Jujian's identity and origins are not clear. If they really go together, they will waste a lot of energy on guarding, so they just invite him politely. If the other party is interested, he will naturally decline.
Unexpectedly, Yan Jujian had no intention of declining and agreed directly. Shi Xuan and the two were unable to get off the tiger, so they had to ask him to get on the carriage. For Shi Xuan, maybe this is okay. The danger in the open is much easier to deal with than the shadow in the dark.
Zheng Daniu's face turned green when he looked at Yan Jujian's burly figure, but Shi Xuan's promise of five taels of silver as a reward made him unable to object. He could only watch Yan Jujian step onto the carriage and press him. The carriage creaked, and even the two horses in front involuntarily took a small step back.
Two horses pulled the heavy carriage slowly walking on the official road. Since Yan Jujian got on the carriage, he just sat cross-legged in the back and basically didn't talk much, except for occasionally asking Ding Mingde a few words about Shi Xuan was completely ignored, and even Shi Xuan could feel a slight sense of wariness.
Shi Xuan felt more and more that this trip to Tongxuan Mountain was weird, but since he was going to seek immortality and seek Taoism, and he had the means to keep things under control, there was no way he could just give up.
The weird atmosphere in the carriage continued to the foot of Tongxuan Mountain. Just after half the time, Shi Xuan could already see the three words "Tongxuan Mountain" written on the boundary monument at the foot of the mountain.
After giving Zheng Daniu some money and sending him away, Shi Xuan went to the back of a mountain wall on the pretext of convenience, intending to take this opportunity to hear what Yan Jujian, who was a little wary of him, would say to Ding Mingde after he left. .
After arriving at the mountain wall, Shi Xuan leaned against the rock, closed his eyes and adjusted his breath, entering an ethereal state, using his keen senses to the fullest. Because the distance here was far, he could not hear as casually as before.
As expected, I heard Yan Jujian say in a low voice: "I wonder if little brother Ding knows what happened when a certain family came to Shuanghu Village in Tongxuan Mountain?"
"No, aren't you looking for an old friend?" Ding Mingde said in a confused voice.
"Yes, a certain family's friend came to Tongxuan Mountain two years ago, but no news came back. A certain family was worried about his safety, so they came here to find him."
"Are you in danger in the mountains? It is said that there are many ferocious beasts in this mountain."
"Hahahaha, will he die from the mouth of a wild beast?" Yan Jujian's mocking voice couldn't control the volume.
"Then...that is?" Ding Mingde said hesitantly.
"After a certain family came to Chuzhou City, they conducted secret investigations for a long time and found that many people disappeared in Tongxuan Mountain every year, and they all had one thing in common. Hehe, do you know what it is?" Yan Ju Jian did not answer directly and turned to another topic.
"Been eaten by a wild beast?" Ding Mingde replied blankly.
"Hey, they are either people like you, whose parents have died, or people who are away from home all year round and don't go home for several years. In short, even if they disappear, it won't cause too much trouble. Waves of people."
"Ah? How, how, how could it be possible!" Ding Mingde was a little frightened.
"So, a certain family originally wanted to go up the mountain to explore by themselves, but by chance I heard that you were going to Shuanghu Village in Tongxuan Mountain, and then I remembered that this place name was also mentioned in a letter sent to me by a friend of the certain family. I came over to inquire. After that, I found out that your parents were deceased, and combined with the information I had obtained from a certain family before, I decided to go with you."
"I, I, I'm not going." His teeth began to chatter, and he was about to retreat.
"Brother Ding, don't you think it's too late to go back now that you've reached the foot of Tongxuan Mountain?" Yan Jujian said in a playful voice.
"You...what are you doing? Brother Zi'ang, by the way, I'll go back with Brother Zi'ang!"
"Hey, your brother Ang doesn't have to take you back!"
"What do you mean?!"
"He is a hidden master. If he wants to kill you, it would be easier than killing a chicken!"
"It's difficult, can't it be possible! No way! Brother Zi'ang is generous and bold, and he has the legacy of the ancients. He is a gentleman at first sight!" Ding Mingde retorted excitedly, and the more he spoke, the smoother he spoke, and the last half of the sentence was completed in one go.
"I don't read much, but I still heard a saying, which is, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to let others go. I'm afraid you two haven't known each other for a long time." Yan Jujian said leisurely .
"This, this..." Ding Mingde was speechless.
"Brother Ding, since you are here, why not take a certain family to investigate and get to the bottom of things and completely solve the troubles? Otherwise, even if you return home, you will not be safe and may even harm your loved ones."
"Cousin, yes! Cousin, he is coming too!"
"That's right, let's go with a certain family. Without boasting, the certain family can definitely keep you safe, little brother. Although your martial arts brother Zi'ang is very powerful, It may not be better than one hand." Yan Jujian's calm voice was full of confidence.
"This..." Ding Mingde's hesitant voice.
"In this world, including the hidden old monsters, those who can defeat a certain family can be counted on ten fingers." Yan Jujian's calm voice gave people a lot of confidence.
"Okay! I promise you!" Ding Mingde gritted his teeth and agreed.
Seeing that the two of them had finished their discussion, Shi Xuan stayed behind the mountain wall for a while before slowly walking out. He apologized to the two of them with a smile on his face, saying that he had a bad stomach.
Yan Jujian still looked indifferent to Shi Xuan, while Ding Mingde, who was not good at acting, responded to Shi Xuan with a slightly evasive attitude. Shi Xuan pretended not to see it and urged the two of them to go up the mountain together. This Tongxuan Mountain looks very weird, but we won't go to places that are not weird.
" Ah," he yelled, then turned around and ran away.
Tongxuan Mountain is deep and quiet, with crisp bird songs. Even in the hot summer, you can feel the coolness. In this environment, the three of them soon arrived at a luxuriously decorated pavilion, with a plaque hanging on it saying "Yuhua Pavilion" in Chinese characters. There is a stone tablet on the left side of the pavilion, which records the history of this pavilion. It was built with donations from the previous dynasty. Twenty years ago, and three years ago, wealthy families in Chuzhou City donated money for repairs.
After Ding Mingde saw this pavilion, he said to Shi Xuan and Yan Jujian: "My cousin said that the chief steward of Shuanghu Village will be waiting for me here since Youshi. Now there are still more than two quarters of an hour until Youshi. We might as well go into the pavilion and rest for a while.”
Shi Xuan nodded, Yan Jujian did not comment, and the three of them entered the pavilion and sat down on each side. Shi Xuan planned to take advantage of this gap to regain his energy and prepare for the next trip, so he closed his eyes and rested his mind after sitting down, and his inner energy began to move slowly. Yan Jujian didn't know if he paid the same attention as Shi Xuan, but Shi Xuan noticed that he was also sitting with his eyes closed, not saying a word. Ding Mingde, on the other hand, was restless. He stood up several times and wanted to go to Yan Jujian, but then walked back hesitantly and sat down again.
When Qi was flowing, time flew quickly, and soon the sun began to turn westward. Ding Mingde judged from the shadow that it was almost the time of united hour, so he stood up and prepared to wake up the other two. But before he opened his mouth, he saw Shi Xuan and Yan Jujian opening their eyes respectively.
Shi Xuan stood up and said with a smile: "It seems that Youshi is coming soon." At this time, Shi Xuan saw a figure coming out of the corner of the mountain road in the distance, "Uh, is that the big housekeeper?" He pointed to that side.
Ding Mingde hurriedly turned around to look, but unfortunately his eyesight was poor and he could only see a blurry black shadow.
The figure staggered over, and after a while of burning incense, he came closer. He was an old-looking man, wearing colorful black cloth clothes and a military hat. The hair exposed from the hat was already old. She is all white, with deep wrinkles on her face, like orange peel. She is dry and thin. She is holding a big red lantern in her hand with the word "王" written on it
Shi Xuan looked at the old man and had a strange feeling in his heart. It seemed that something was contained in this body. Unfortunately, it was not convenient to use magic to open his eyes to see it now.
Yan Jujian gently pushed Ding Mingde, who was frozen on the spot, and Ding Mingde stepped forward and saluted as if he suddenly understood: "Is the old man the chief steward of the Wang family in Shuanghu Village?"
The old man raised his head, looked at Ding Mingde with cloudy eyes, and returned the salute with a hoarse voice: "It's the old man, but Mr. Ding Mingde?"
"Is this the name of the butler Gao?"
"My natural surname is Wang. I don't want to offend Mr. Ding's ears with a nickname. Just call me Butler Wang. Who are these two?" The chief steward saw Shi Xuan and Yan Jujian behind Ding Mingde.
"These two are my friends, Shi Xuan, Shi Zi'ang and Yan Jujian. I sent them here to visit Tongxuan Mountain. I wonder if I can take them to Shuanghu Village to stay overnight tonight?" Ding Mingde looked at it. I had already thought about what to say.
The chief steward's turbid eyes looked back and forth at Shi Xuan and the two of them. Shi Xuan felt a chill, as if he was being stared at by some cold-blooded animal.
After a few moments of silence, the butler said calmly: "Since he is a friend of Mr. Ding and a guest of Shuanghu Village, he is naturally welcome, but I am afraid that the greeting may not be appropriate."
"I'm so sorry for bothering you, so I'd like to thank the housekeeper first." Ding Mingde was secretly pushed by Yan Jujian again, and he hurriedly expressed his gratitude, which finally finalized the matter.
The butler glanced at the three of them again, then half-turned around and said, "Three distinguished guests, please follow me. The road in the mountains is foggy and it's easy to get lost." Then he picked up the lantern and staggered towards the way he came.
Shi Xuan and the other three glanced at each other. Ding Mingde closed his eyes and followed closely behind the butler, while Shi Xuan and Yan Jujian walked side by side at the end.
