Chapter 58 Longevity Thief

The reason why Panshe Mountain is called 100,000 is that it is extremely wide, shaped like a coiled snake, winding in the clouds. Within two hours after entering the mountain, Xu You deeply felt the pain of running a horse to death on the mountain. The mountain road is rugged, and many gullies are clearly close, but they do not have the technology and human resources to build bridges. They can only go around a few miles along the steep valley and then climb up the mountain again. If you encounter a large area of ​​poisonous miasma, the distance you need to go around will be further.

The worst thing is that it rained heavily a few days ago, and the ground was muddy, with deep and shallow feet, making it very hard to walk. Fortunately, the rain had stopped for two days, and the mountain torrents should have been released, and the stream at the bottom of the valley could also be crossed. Otherwise, it would be hard to save the gods. If it weren't for the magical illumination technique that could have kept Xu You's extremely keen six senses at all times, with his first experience in entering the mountains, he would have probably lost his direction and could not distinguish between the southeast, southwest and north.

Everyone joined hands and most of them had cultivation. Although it was a night road, they did not delay much trip. By dawn, they had a tacit understanding between each other and had a little faster speed. When they were hungry, they would be able to drink some pure mountain spring water when they were thirsty. This was a rare pleasure.

With Zong Yu, the big fat sheep, Chen Jing's interest in Xu You plummeted. He only carefully inquired about Zong Yu's wealth along the way. He estimated that he had calculated the amount of money he would be extorted in the future and was not very concerned about Xu You.

Xu You was also happy to be quiet and had a great chat with Zong Yu's three followers. From them, they learned that the girl's name was Zuo Qiu Sijin, but other information was as tight as a bottle. However, after a short time of getting along, Xu You could confirm that they were definitely not from the prefect's mansion. The one who got it from was a real person, and it was very capable.

You should know that these days are no different from later generations. There are advertisements for applying for certificates on the streets and alleys. According to the laws of the State of Chu, anyone who forged official cards and those involved in the case, regardless of the severity, would be killed!

Moreover, the government has a variety of anti-counterfeiting methods. It is not that you can do whatever you want by taking a card. The risks are high and the benefits are small. Therefore, the craftsmen who are doing this are rarer than the white dragon that appears in the river.

Listening to the chatting of the few people behind him, Zuo Qiu Sijin's face was calm and she didn't say a word to Xu You again.

In the evening, after finding the cave for a temporary rest, Xu You bent down and pinched his sore calves and asked, "How long will it take to get out of Panshe Mountain?"

Chen Jing replied: "It will take another day and night."

In other words, they had to travel day and night for two days and nights. If others only left during the day, it would probably take five days to go out. This is simply God's food to eat. If there were no bandits to grab one, I would be sorry for such good geographical conditions.

Chen Jing quickly peeled the newly hunted mountain rabbit, set up a fire to roast it, and sprinkled some sesame, which made him so complete. Zong Yu played the role of a playboy with four words exhausted on his face, and sat on the ground, and the three followers were serving the drinking water. On the contrary, Xu You played a poor role and did not show too much fatigue. However, he explained that he often traveled around the country, his body was not as weak as he looked, and there was nothing to doubt about.

After eating delicious rabbit meat, I continued to walk under Chen Jing's leadership. When I passed a mountain path, I was blocked by mud and stones due to a landslide. There was no big problem, so I just walked around it, and it took some time at most.

Chen Jing said: "I know there is a shortcut nearby, which can probably shorten the distance by two hours. It just so happens that this road is not easy to pass, and I don't know if there is any such situation before. Why don't we take the shortcut to save time and effort?"

Seeing that the trip was halfway through, Xu You guessed that Chen Jing should start small movements. Zong Yu obviously had the same idea and took over the conversation and said, "Why don't you say it early if you have a shortcut? Let's go out of this broken mountain quickly. I'll endure it for another day and it's going to get bleeding!"

The so-called shortcut is to slowly go down from the depression on the left, then go up, and take several 90-degree bends. Zuo Qiu Sijin suddenly slowed down and whispered when Xu You stood side by side: "The previous direction has always been correct. From now on, we will go northwest..."

Linchuan is southwest of Geyang. Since entering the mountain, no matter how he goes around, he still walks to the southwest. He is even in the wrong direction. It can be imagined that Chen Jing has ulterior motives.

"One hour!" Xu You stared at Chen Jing's back and said, "I will only give him one hour. If the enemy takes action within one hour, I will go with you. If it exceeds one hour, then take down Chen Jing first. Under torture, I don't believe that he is really tight-lipped!"

Zuo Qiu Sijin's divine thoughts were dazed for a moment. Xu You was obviously weak and could not help but the sudden murderous aura made her feel like a mountain and even her breathing paused for a moment.

"good!"

After about half an hour, I came to a forest land with weeds and thorns, and the sky was dark and dark. With the glimmer of torches, I seemed to see monsters opening their bloody mouths, waiting for their prey to fall into the trap.

Chen Jing tightened his feet, and with a scream, his body hung upside down, hanging in the air and swayed in the air. Several black shadows flashed in the forest, and Zong Yu exclaimed: "There are ghosts, there are ghosts!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The three followers were prepared to shoot bamboo arrows like locusts from the forest, standing in front in a fan shape, unsheathed their swords, waving like the wind, and blocking almost all the arrows with the jingling sound.

These bamboo arrows were stimulated by simple mechanisms, and their speed and strength were not very powerful. However, just in case, Zuo Qiu Sijin stood close to Xu You and protected him with Qingming. What surprised Xu You was that Zuo Qiu Sijin's weapon was actually a soft sword wrapped around her waist. She shook in the wind and made a sound of gold and jade, which showed that it was not an ordinary thing. If there were any bamboo arrows that had leaked the net, they were cut off by her light sword, and Qingming didn't need Qingming to take action.

As the bamboo arrows ended, a large net fell silently in the sky, covering everyone. Before they could break free, more than 20 men in black came out. Eight people grabbed the net from all sides and exerted force together. The net tightened in an instant, and the few people staggered into a group. Because of the close distance, Zuo Qiu Sijin was hugging Xu You, and from head to toe, he was sticking tightly, and even couldn't insert a piece of paper. This repeated the embarrassing scene on the boat, even though it was even better.

More than a dozen other people were holding swords and guns, approaching Xu You and others' necks, chest and abdomen, making them afraid to resist. Zong Yu had originally planned to surrender and sneaked into the bandit's nest. He struggled symbolically for a few times, and was patted on the cheek with a gun, and immediately became honest as a child.

At this time, Chen Jing, who had just been hung up, also walked out and smiled and said, "If you hadn't seen your skills, you wouldn't have to use this net of heaven and earth. Fortunately, I was not hurt, so I can get more ransoms at that time."

"Chen Jing, you!" Zong Yu was very immersed in the show, angry and afraid, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "It turns out that he is in the same group as the bandits..."

Chen Jing laughed and said, "Mr. Li Langjun, we can only make money and not kill people. You just need to be obedient, write a letter to your family, and then stay in our village for ten days and a half months. Once the ransom comes, you will be released immediately."

The thief of immortality?

They have become bandits, but do you still want to make a living? However, there are too many people in Jiangdong who believe in the Tao of Heaven, and it is not surprising that bandits call themselves immortality.

"I...I..." Zong Yu said tremblingly: "It's easy to say about money, don't harm my life!"

"Stop talking nonsense, come and seal their eyes and mouths. Yes, it hasn't opened for two months, and finally a few fat sheep have arrived. Maybe the mountain master is happy and I will reward you to go to Linchuan to find the soft little lady for a night!

"Hahaha!"

The thieves laughed, and some people looked at Zuo Qiu Sijin with malicious intentions. Her back was facing the bandits, and her dress contracted by the net outlined a nearly perfect body. Under the illumination of the torch, she swayed an unknown style.

Xu You bounced the net rope with his fingers, neither vine nor numb, but it was stronger than the fiber rope I had seen at Hongyezhu. It was difficult to cut off ordinary swords. However, with his current cultivation level, it would be easy to get out of trouble.

If these bandits were not good at seeing each other and touched Zuo Qiu Sijin, they had to deal with them first and then ask where the nest was. Anyway, there were many people, and there were always weak-willed people who could not stand the punishment.

But this will alert the snake and cannot understand the real situation inside. In the future, leading troops to encircle and suppress the enemy will definitely achieve half the result with twice the effort. Therefore, if you can do nothing, try not to do anything.

"You don't want to die?" Chen Jing noticed that his two companions wanted to reach out to touch Zuo Qiu Sijin, and sneered: "The mountain master strictly ordered people to be the first, and wealth is the best. Those who dare to use excuses to lust and insult women, remove their power, cut off their feet, and throw them into the snake cave to receive the crime of consuming bones by thousands of insects. Have you really thought about it?"

The two bandits were immediately frightened and their desires disappeared. They didn't even look at Zuo Qiu Sijin. Even when they were blindfolded, they were also polite, fearing that they would be punished by the mountain leader when they encountered a place they shouldn't have touched.

With this point, we can see that this group of bandits is not a mob. Whether setting up an ambush or attacking, they all perform their duties and cooperate skillfully, and with the orders, they actually have some sharp momentum that only regular troops have.

Everyone was blinded, gagged, tied their hands together, and lined up and back. They were driven away by the thieves for about two quarters of an hour, up and down, unable to tell where they were, and then they heard Chen Jing shouting: "Ascending ladder!"

The sharp sound of friction between the thick iron chains sounded, and it lasted for half a stick of incense. Xu You stepped onto a bridge. The bridge should be very high at an altitude, and you could feel the howling wind and the violent shaking of your feet. When your feet stepped onto the ground, you heard Chen Jing shouting: "Open the You Mansion!"

Xu You was scolded and bent down and walked slowly along the steady stone steps, first down, then straight, and then up. After walking for a while, they entered the room and could hear the breathing of people around them. Chen Jing ordered people to take the black cloth, and Xu You's eyes suddenly became clear.

This is a big house made of pure wood, high and wide, without any decoration, only the burning torch illuminates the entire space. There are eight chairs in pig's skin on the left and right, each chair has one person, tall or short, fat or thin, and two women. Their clothes are not as simple and wild as they imagined, but rather the black and red military uniforms that are common in the soldiers of the prefectures and prefectures.

In the middle is Zhang Huskin chair. The person on the chair should be the mountain master in Chen Jing's mouth. He is seven feet tall, has a strong face, with thick stubble, and reveals unforgettable roughness and heroism. However, his voice was very soft and he said lightly: "Are these the fat sheep you mentioned?"

Chen Jing said excitedly: "Report to the mountain master, these fat sheep are not simple, at least they are middle-aged gentry. I think I will make a lot of money this time!"

"Is that true?" The mountain master leaned forward slightly, his eyes swept across Zong Yu and others' faces. When it was Xu You's turn, his eyes narrowed. After taking a closer look, his expression changed and he stood up.

Xu You felt strange and looked at it carefully. Only then did he see his appearance clearly and feel shocked. However, in front of Zong Yu, he was inconvenient to recognize each other and shook his head gently.

The mountain master's eyes exploded with a burning flame, and he sat up straight again, saying, "Take them down and keep them separately. Also, take good care of them, give them hot water and meals, and don't neglect them!"
