Chapter 265 Sir, please follow me.
Hu Chong is a martial arts fanatic. He has been like this since he was a teenager. Later, after he got married and had a wife and children, he was still obsessed with studying martial arts. To talk about the fact that he ran to the vast snow-capped mountains where his family lived and practiced in seclusion for more than ten years without a trace, it has to start from the previous year when Hu Chong met Guan Yonghuan in Dajue Kingdom for a duel. Hu Chong heard that Guan Yonghuan, the son of the Demon Cult, was a martial arts genius who reached the peak at a young age. Hu Chong went through a lot of twists and turns to find Guan Yonghuan for a duel, and Guan Yonghuan, who was in Dajue Kingdom, had just made friends with Zhong Jie. After Guan Yonghuan followed Zhong Jie, the two were inseparable. When Hu Chong found Guan Yonghuan, he naturally got to know Zhong Jie.
Their tortuous story is a long one, and it is natural that they get to know each other better with each passing day. When Hu Chong fully understood Zhong Jie's strength, he suddenly had an idea and left Dajue Kingdom without saying a word and returned to Hujiabao in the snowy mountains. He told his wife and children some things, and then plunged into the aimless snowy mountains. Everyone knows that the snowy mountains, as long as you go deep into it, are completely separated from the outside world. What is more mysterious than traveling through time and space is that people will not know the length of time, or even day and night, until time and space are still.
God was also partial to Hu Chong. After more than ten years of unremitting efforts, he finally succeeded in practicing the peerless magic skills, and then he came out of seclusion and reunited with his family.
Hu Chong still felt heartbroken when he thought about the debt he owed to his wife and children for more than ten years or nearly twenty years. His son was not right and did all kinds of wrong things, and his daughter suffered humiliation and depression. If a disaster came, all the descendants of the family would die. Hu Chong was very anxious.
Hu Chong decided to take these useless descendants back to Hujiabao first, and then go to Hongwan Mountain alone.
In order to prevent his children and grandchildren from having any chance to cause trouble, he wanted to personally lead them away from Hongwan Mountain and watch these children and grandchildren leave the territory of Dajue Kingdom.
Hu Chong had just packed his luggage and set off with his children and grandchildren. After walking a short distance, they were stopped by a group of soldiers who refused to let them leave Hongwan Mountain no matter what.
Hu Chong's second son, Hu Meng, quickly negotiated with the leading officers and soldiers on his father's behalf.
Hu Meng asked the officers and soldiers, "What happened to the officer? Why didn't you let us go?"
The leader said, "This is an order from our superiors. Why are you asking so many questions? Anyway, there is something going on. You just need to follow orders and don't run around."
Hu Meng said in embarrassment: "But...but the Hongwan Mountain behind us is not safe. There are always deaths in that mountain. If we don't leave, we will probably be killed."
The officers and soldiers were unmoved. He said, "Aren't there just one or two wolves, insects, tigers and leopards? You are also a group of grown men. Aren't you more powerful than those beasts when you add them together? Anyway, you are not allowed to run around casually, or you will die immediately."
Hu Chong asked immediately, "What do you mean, sir? It's still safe down here, how could you die immediately?"
The official suddenly got angry and said, "Just stay where you are. We are a large group of people here to suppress bandits. Be careful that we mistake you for bandits and suppress you at night."
Hu Meng saw that the little soldier was yelling at his father. Although their Hu family was a grassroots family, they had a high status in the underworld and the Hu family had strong connections in Dajue. He really didn't regard a few soldiers as a threat. He put on a sullen face and wanted to argue with the man, but was stopped by Hu Chong.
Hu Chong said to the officer, "Sir, let's be honest now. The danger in Hongwan Mountain is not just caused by a few wolves and tigers. There are actually evil spirits in there, monsters that eat human organs and capture people's souls. We mortals can't stop them."
The officers and soldiers seemed moved. Several soldiers looked at each other and whispered to each other. It was obvious that they had also heard about this incident.
The official said, "You said you saw this with your own eyes? If you didn't see it with your own eyes, then you are spreading rumors to confuse the public. I think you want to be beaten and imprisoned."
A military commander is most afraid of rumors that mislead the people and shake the morale of the troops. Thinking of this, the general pointed at Hu Chong's family and said, "I think you are the demons you are talking about. You must have some ulterior motives for telling such nonsense. I think it's best to arrest you all and interrogate you thoroughly." As he said that, he was about to order his subordinates behind him to arrest people.
Hu Chong immediately pretended to be weak and fawning and said, "Don't be angry, sir. We were wrong and said the wrong thing. Sirs, please don't bother with a group of poor people like us. We are just a group of idlers who like to travel. Sirs, if you don't want us to run around, then we won't run around. We won't leave... we won't leave. We will go back now." After saying that, he left in shame with his family.
After walking a distance, Hu Meng asked Hu Chong in confusion, "Father, what does this mean? Are we really going to listen to them and not leave?"
Hu Chong said: "Didn't you hear that? Hongwan Mountain has been surrounded by them. They are going to cause trouble. They are afraid that we will cause trouble. They might even kill us."
When Hu Meng heard what those people were thinking, he couldn't help but curse them as "black-hearted dog officials."
Thinking about the group of soldiers going up the mountain, he said, "You ignored our words and were afraid of being eaten by those evil spirits. You don't know what's good for you."
Hu Chong suddenly had some inexplicable thoughts in his mind, and he didn't know what those officers and soldiers were coming for.
Night soon arrived. Hu Chong waited until his family members were asleep, then he quietly went out and ran all the way to the mountain.
Hu Chong stood halfway up the mountain, and suddenly looked up and saw a flash of lightning in the distance. The special thing about him as a martial arts master is that his eyesight is particularly good at night. When he looked there, he saw the trees shaking and the qi was chaotic and unstable. He knew that a hidden master was competing there. Hu Chong's restless blood immediately surged, and he ran towards that direction with great excitement.
Hu Chong's judgment was very accurate. There was a fierce fight going on there. It was the crazy and violent Chu Yanqiu.
During the day, when Chu Yanqiu was happy to meet Shen Wen again, they were attacked by the blood talisman that appeared out of nowhere.
This time, seven blood talismans appeared. Chu Yanqiu and these blood talismans were sent out from day to night. Shen Wen, who was not attacked, had been hiding in the bushes and watching. The more he watched, the more speechless he became. These blood talismans were not only powerful, but also indestructible. They were knocked into the soil and the rocks, and they could still fight again after being dug out. They were so strong that there was no reason to speak.
Hu Chong, who sneaked in to check the situation in the dark, was deeply shocked when he saw the fighting status of Chu Yanqiu and Xue Fu. He hid behind the earth slope and became more and more frightened the more he watched. He felt that he was badly beaten compared to them. He began to doubt his life. Could it be that the more than ten years of seclusion in the snowy mountains, the more than ten years of hard practice and self-breakthrough, were just a dream?
Hu Chong was unwilling to give up and his hands were itching. Facing his inner heart and the fighting scene, he was eager to try. Perhaps his inner desire was too strong, and those blood runes inexplicably discovered him, and two blood runes attacked him.
Hu Chong took advantage of this opportunity and started fighting with the blood talisman.
Shen Wen naturally didn't know Hu Chong, but his appearance reminded Shen Wen that perhaps he should go and see what Qu Qiu Shui was doing first.
Shen Wen then quietly left, found a direction, and searched in the dark under the guidance of the drone beetle.
Last night at Guandi Temple, Qiu Shui was crazy and wanted to die together with the five old men. Shen Wen did not participate but he knew the news.
When Shen Wen really arrived near the Guandi Temple, the zombies of the Qiu Shui School were still lying in ambush nearby, in all directions, and it seemed that they wanted to trap the five fellow villagers in the Guandi Temple.
Those zombies don't recognize humans. They will attack any living thing they encounter, and the same is true for Shen Wen. Moreover, these things know how to attack in groups. As soon as Shen Wen knocked down a zombie, five or six more came from all directions, and Shen Wen was overwhelmed in an instant.
At this moment, two blood talismans suddenly appeared, like divine soldiers sent from the sky, and actually helped Shen Wen deal with the zombies.
There was also a masked man in black. While the two sides were fighting fiercely, he pulled Shen Wen aside and said, "Sir, I'm here to save you. Let's go!"
The man's voice sounded strange, but it sounded very familiar to Shen Wen.
Shen Wen took advantage of his unpreparedness and pulled off his black face scarf.
"Are you the little Quanzi from the Ruiwang family? Why are you here?"
Although Xiao Quanzi was dressed as an assassin and came to rescue Shen Wen fearlessly, he did not have much skills. He was not panicked when Shen Wen suddenly exposed his identity. He still said indifferently: "Sir, do you know how dangerous you are? The evil spirits on this mountain will eat people. If you don't come with me, you will die in their mouths."
After Xiao Quanzi finished speaking, he didn't care whether Shen Wen agreed or not. He grabbed Shen Wen's hand and dragged him away.
Xiao Quanzi almost pulled Shen Wen to run. The two of them walked so far away at a very fast speed that even the sound of fighting behind them was almost inaudible.
However, Xiao Quanzi was too weak. He was already gasping for breath and lying on the tree trunk, too tired to move. Naturally, he let go of Shen Wen.
Xiao Quanzi took a breath and turned back to Shen Wen and said, "Let us rest for a while. There is a shortcut down the mountain nearby. Just follow me and we will be safe soon."
Shen Wen said: "Don't worry, I didn't expect that you would have the courage to save me in such a dangerous place like Hongwan Mountain?"
Xiao Quanzi recovered his breath and said, "You asked me to serve you in front of the prince, so I am still serving you now. Your safety is naturally what I care about most."
After saying that, Xiao Quanzi pulled Shen Wen's sleeve again and set out to escape.
But this time, as they hurried through the woods, they felt something was increasingly wrong.
Until he was exhausted and out of breath again, Xiao Quanzi leaned against the tree trunk and said, "What's going on? We have been walking for half a day and we are still not out of the forest. This doesn't make sense."
Shen Wen naturally sensed something was wrong. He pointed at the morning star in the sky and said, "Look, it's almost dawn. Counting from the time we were at Guandi Temple, we have been in this forest for more than just half a day. We are almost walking all night."
Xiao Quanzi also saw the Enlightenment Star in the sky. He blinked and asked, "Is it there?"
