When they set off from the melon seed temple, everyone sat on the ox cart. The group did not mind the dirty equipment and chatted in the cart.
The road here was not easy to walk on. After all, the mountain road seemed to be winding. Fortunately, the ox cart was moving slowly and everyone did not feel too bumpy.
The driver was an old man at the foot of Meng Mountain. According to him, the village was a little far away, so very few people came out.
They were lucky today. The last time he came out was three days ago. If they missed today, they would probably have to wait for two or three days before someone came out.
"Looking at your attire, you look like you're going to climb mountains and wading through water to play, right?”The old man asked as he drove the ox cart in front.
Third Master Wu smiled and said," Yes, I heard that the mountains and rivers here are a little special, so I came to take a look."”
"Then you've come to the right place. Three days ago, a group of people also came to Meng Mountains.”the old man said with a smile.
After hearing the old man's words, Third Master Wu, Fan Zi, and his other brother, Da Kui, looked at each other.
"Is that so? Then where did they go?" Third Master Wu asked.
The old man didn't suspect anything and said," I don't know about that. I just lead the way. They're really generous. They gave me 10,000 yuan to send it down the mountain."”
Everyone could not help but shake their heads when they heard this. This old man was really shameless and obviously wanted everyone to pay more money.
"Don't worry, I won't forget your share." Fan Zi said unhappily.
10,000 yuan was a piece of cake for the Wu family. There was no need to argue over 10,000 yuan.
"Yo! Thank you in advance." The old man said with a wide smile.
After the old man turned his head, Third Master Wu lowered his head so low that he almost bumped into the barbarian.
"Third Master, could it be that he's a kindred spirit?”Fan Zi asked.
Third Master Wu nodded and said,"What other motives could they have for coming to such a godforsaken place?"
This old man obviously knew that we weren't good people, so he asked for an exorbitant price.”
"Who could it be? Didn't you say that the ancient tomb recorded in the platinum of the Warring States Period was extremely secretive and that few people in the world could find it?”Fan Zi asked.
Third Master Wu smiled and said," Like I said, just because there aren't many people doesn't mean there aren't any. We'll just have to act according to the situation."”
Perhaps it was because they knew that someone was fighting with them, so everyone was a little depressed and rarely spoke along the way.
Although the ox-cart moved slowly, it was still spacious. Sitting on the ox-cart and enjoying the surrounding scenery was a unique experience.
The young man still had the same cold expression. Wu Xie had talked to him several times because of the saber on his back.
However, this person didn't answer him. After Wu Xie was snubbed, he could only chat with Zhang Qi.
It was already the next morning when they set off from Hangzhou to Shandong Guazi Temple.
Adding on the delay in looking for the little brother, it was already afternoon.
However, he did not know how far Meng Mountain was. Could it be that he still had to walk at night?
Although they were not afraid of walking at night, since they knew that someone had already arrived, they definitely wanted to fight as soon as possible.
Therefore, he wanted to rush to Meng Mountains before it was too late. After resting for a while, he would enter the mountain the next day.
"How much further?" Third Master Wu asked the old man.
The old man looked at the sky and said,"The mountain road is very far. We will arrive at least eight or nine o'clock in the evening."”
Third Master Wu frowned. The people living in the mountains slept early, and they would not be able to find a place to rest after eight or nine o'clock.
"Can you hurry up?" Fan Zi knew Third Master's concerns and asked.
The old man said," There is a waterway. If you want, you can reach the village before sunset. But if you take the waterway, you will have to spend a lot of money."”
"It doesn't matter how much it costs. We're unfamiliar with this place and don't want to walk at night.”Third Master Wu said.
The old man smiled and said," Alright. If you want to take the waterway, it'll be there in a few minutes. This is the only place with a boat within a hundred miles."”
Not long after, the ox cart stopped. After the old man got everyone to move everything down, he patted the old bull's butt and the old bull slowly went back.
"Uncle, are you just going to let it walk on its own?”Wu Xie asked curiously.
The old man smiled." As the saying goes, an old horse knows the way. I, this old cow, can also recognize the way home."”
"Stop talking nonsense and move the things." Third Master Wu shouted at Wu Xie.
Because they did not know the situation in the ancient tomb this time, they had brought a lot of equipment.
After following the old man to the river, they saw a small pier not far away. It was actually just a place where they could dock their boats.
There were a few wooden boats on the river. Although the wooden boats were not big, they were enough to seat a few people.
There was a small pavilion by the river. A man was sitting inside smoking a pipe with a big yellow dog beside him.
The big yellow dog didn't even bat an eyelid when it saw the newcomer. It was probably already used to the smell of strangers.
"What a strong smell of dead people."
Zhang Qi could smell the stench of corpses from afar.
The smell of the corpse was different from that of the young man and his own.
One of them was born dead, and the other should have been living with the dead all year round.
And this man and dog seemed to be feeding on the dead.
Zhang Qi wasn't surprised by this kind of person. Many people started eating dead people's flesh since they were young in order to mix with the dead.
The little brother was not surprised by this situation. It seemed that this kind of thing was already common to him.
"He's the only boatman on this river, so his personality is very strange. Should I go and talk to him?”the old man said.
Third Master Wu nodded and said,"Thank you."”
The old man walked towards the man after saying that politely. He chatted with the man for a long time in the pavilion before returning.
"He told us to wait. He wants to finish a few puffs of smoke.”the old man said.
Everyone put down their equipment and sat by the river to smoke.
At this moment, the big yellow dog also walked over. It seemed to be very interested in Zhang Qi and the little brother.
Zhang Qi knew that it was because of the smell of death on their bodies that attracted this yellow dog.
"Woof woof!"
Wu Xie kept teasing the yellow dog.
Although the yellow dog was very interested in Zhang Qi and the little brother, it still walked towards Wu Xie.
"It stinks!" Wu Xie couldn't help but say.
Third Master Wu's expression changed." This is the stench of corpses. It seems like this person is not simple. Everyone, be careful."”
Because the yellow dog was too smelly, Wu Xie wasn't interested in it at all, so it walked towards Zhang Qi and the little brother.
"Get lost!" Zhang Qi snorted coldly.
"Woof woof!"
……
Immediately, the yellow dog seemed to have seen a ghost. After barking in fear, it hurriedly ran back to the pavilion and hid behind its master.
