Chapter 55 Chapter Two

The road was unimpeded, and within a few days, we arrived at Wulong Mountain, the designated place of the corpse exorcism meeting.At this time, there is still one day before the official date of the corpse exorcism meeting. Wulong Mountain is located in Longshan County, at the junction of Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan and Guizhou provinces. The mountains here are continuous and majestic.The mountains are steep, the cliffs are upright, the canyons are deep, the waterfalls are hanging high, the caves are in groups, the Yinhe is densely covered, and the landscape is peculiar. Perhaps because of the dangerous terrain, and the fact that this place has been a must pass from Hunan to Guizhou and Sichuan since ancient times, there are many merchants in the past, and Wulong Mountain has been a place where bandits have been haunted since ancient times.The bandits called "Beard" by the local people haunted the deep mountains and old forests, robbing the passing merchants.If you stand on the mountain peak and look at the endless virgin forest of Wulong Mountain, you will feel a sudden chill.

Therefore, when rich businessmen from all walks of life arrive at Longshan and pass through Wulong Mountain, they have to stay overnight, and they don’t start their journey until dawn, and they have to go in groups. Individual travelers also have to spend money to hire a few bodyguards from the county bodyguard bureau to escort them convoy.Even so, merchants in the past still have to be careful. "Xiucai, this Wulong Mountain is tall and densely forested, and it looks very gloomy. The bandits here are probably more ruthless than the bandits in Tianniu Village. Our party is so eye-catching, these bandit beards won't be eyeing us, will they?"

"It doesn't matter if you stare at it!" "You put it lightly. I'm afraid you are a scholar and you meet a soldier. You can't explain why, and you might lose your life!" "Families have their own rules, and they have their own ways. You don't know that the bandits who rob homes also have their own rules. They don't snatch the things of the dead, and they don't snatch the belongings of the mortician!" "I see! You can rest assured!" Talking and laughing all the way, I didn't realize I had reached a dense forest in the valley.

"Don't move! I opened this road, and I planted this tree. If you want to pass this way, leave the money for the road!" Suddenly, a group of seven or eight people jumped out from the forest, with machetes in their hands and their heads on their heads. tied with coarse cloth, and shouted at us. "Grandma is a pickle, it's a bandit! Just talking about these bastards, the bastards will arrive!" Tian Gudao said to me, without panic on his face, probably because he heard me just now that the bandits don't rob the corpse gang's property, so he feels at ease. "Shoulder to shoulders, raise the lantern a bit higher, we are a yellow grass house! Hewu is a model of the god of joy, not a sheep, no red goods." I shouted at the robbers blocking the way in quackery.Tell the other party that we are morticians, please let us go.

"Damn, chattering, I don't know what kind of fart I'm talking about, maybe it's a Java boy from Java, haha..." Unexpectedly, the other party looked at each other, and the cripple in the lead cursed with a Sichuan accent. "Grandma is a pickle, and my father is a mortician, you guys make way!" Seeing that the other party didn't respond, Tian Gudao became anxious and couldn't choose what to say. "Haha, what's the matter with the morticians? I'm robbing you mortal artisans. Damn, I've heard that there is a lot of money for cadavers, and it comes quickly. Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and leave the money, or you will die." It’s hard to guarantee!” The leading lame man from Sichuan didn’t accept this at all.

"Grandma is a kimchi, do you still follow the rules of the world? I think you dare to come out to rob even a cripple. I am really worried for you. If you are chased by your opponent, how can you run, haha..." Tian Gudao mocked the cripple . I am afraid that Tian Gudao has taken the guts of a leopard. Since people don't respect the rules of the world, they still provoke each other like this. Regarding the performance of the lame man, I was also very puzzled: first, he was so dedicated to robbing houses that he couldn’t understand the slang of the world; second, he was a thief but didn’t follow the rules of the world; Insufficient color; fourth, the posture of these people holding the knife is not right, and they look unprofessional.

Are these people pretending to be fake bandits? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel nervous. It seems that these people are fake bandits, and they should be disguised by other corpse expelling sects. The purpose is to prevent Liumen disciples from entering the mountain to participate in the corpse exorcism meeting, so that I can increase my chances of winning the championship. According to the agreement of the corpse exorcism conference: any exorcist or corpse exorcism sect shall not use abnormal means to prevent, intimidate, coerce, or threaten opponents to participate in the corpse exorcism conference. Violators will be disqualified from participating in the conference; Those who are despicable will be permanently disqualified from participating in the corpse exorcism conference, and will never be allowed to engage in corpse exorcism.

Although the meeting of exorcising corpses stipulates this in detail, there are still many sects or individuals who do not hesitate to take risks in order to seize the "Brahman Mantra Heavenly Rod" and put gold on their own or their sect's face.Because of this, cheaters are caught every year and lose their participation.Some sects are even more notorious and lose face because of this. "I think you are not bandits at all, but exorcists from other sects!" Suddenly, Tian Gudao yelled. The people on the opposite side were stunned for a moment, and then their faces sank, as if they were a little panicked, but they denied it flatly: "I am a bandit, mother, can it be that the bandit has writing on his face!"

When I heard Tian Gudao expose their lies, I was filled with distress. If they jumped over the wall because they were found out and afraid of being caught, they would be in big trouble. What a disaster!Sure enough, the cripple whispered to the people behind him, then his eyes suddenly changed, revealing a fierce look, and he slowly approached us. Oops!It seems that the other party is going to attack!My mind was spinning rapidly, quickly searching for a way out of the dangerous situation. "Where did the little thief come from, dare to come to grab food on the uncle's site!"

At this time, I saw another group of people rushing out of the mountain. Before the words were finished, the figures came to us, inserting themselves between us and the lame group. We and the cripples were taken aback at the same time.It's really a praying mantis catching cicadas, and the oriole is behind. I took a closer look, the leader of this group of bandits was a bearded man, there were more than 20 people, holding sharp knives in their hands, judging from their posture, I knew they were often engaged in murder and robbery. The lame man was startled at first, but regained his composure in an instant. It seemed that he was also an old sparrow who had seen the storm.

The lame man clasped his fists in both hands, and said to the bearded man, "Brothers, the water really rushed into the Dragon King Temple. We also hadn't eaten food for several days, and we were so hungry that we happened to meet this group of people when passing by Guibao Land, so we wanted to get rid of it." Order something to eat. I don't want to surprise you, I'm really sorry. I'm here to apologize to everyone, and I hope you will be more tolerant!" "Haihan's fart! The snatching of food has already been taken to Lao Tzu's territory, brothers, get it for me!" The bearded man yelled, and more than 20 people immediately surrounded the cripple's group. He didn't dare to resist, so he had to submit obediently. He probably knew that we were morticians, and there was no threat. The bearded man was not in a hurry, and looked at us leisurely. I seemed to feel that this bearded face was very familiar. Suddenly, Tian Gudao shouted: "Are you brothers from Tianniu Village?" After he reminded me, I suddenly realized that this bearded man was the little leader who kidnapped Tian Xiaomei in Tianniu Village. The bearded man was also a little surprised when he heard Tian Gudao calling out.Turned around us, and then suddenly shouted: "So it's the two masters! Grandma is a bear, it's really a fate, I didn't expect to see you here." After inquiring about the situation with each other, the bearded man told us the reason for Wulong Mountain. It turned out that after we came out of Tianniu Village that day, the head of Tianniu Village burned down the village and then dismissed his staff. After being disbanded, some bandits in the cottage had no advantage other than blocking roads and robbery, and some even became homeless.Therefore, the dozens of people who accompanied them decided to continue to make a living by blocking roads and looting, because Tianniu Village had been burned and could not stay any longer, so they elected the bearded man to be the boss and set up a new stronghold in Wulong Mountain. The bearded man kindly invited us to sit in the newly built cottage and drink as guests. "Okay, are there any women in the village?" Tian Gudao immediately agreed. "Master Tian is a good friend, but there are no women in the village, but there are a few female mice. I wonder if Master Tian is interested? Haha..." the bearded man laughed heartily.Tian Gudao also laughed. "Brother, don't listen to this guy's nonsense. We are in a hurry to attend the corpse exorcism meeting, so we don't have time to drink." I interrupted their laughter. Hearing that I refused to go to their village to drink, the bearded man was a little upset, but in the face of my repeated thank you, it was not easy to get angry.Besides, the cripples, seeing us and the bearded man so hot, were half suspicious and half frightened. Seeing the lame man's reaction, the bearded man said to us: "Masters, I will leave these bastards to your disposal, and you can do whatever you want!" When the cripples heard this, their faces changed drastically. They expected that we would not let them go easily. I came up to the lame man and said, "Who are you?" The lame man replied: "We are thieves passing by from other places." "Is it really a thieves? I don't think so, you are like a mortician!" I suddenly scolded. "We really are thieves." "You guys are still stubborn!" At this moment, Tian Gudao found a handful of paper talismans from the lame man's pocket. "This is a talisman we use for self-defense, it has no other meaning." "Is this compass also used for self-defense?" Tian Gudao then found another compass. "We use this compass to identify the direction." "It's really strange. I haven't heard of a highwayman who is afraid of getting lost! Grandma, pickle, have you ever heard of a sow climbing a tree!" "Yes... yes, my grandma's sows can climb trees..." the cripple replied awkwardly. "Haha..." Hearing what the lame man said, the bearded bandits burst out laughing. "You have the guts, don't you admit that you are a mortician? Don't think I can't deal with you." I turned to the bearded man and said, "Boss, I don't want to deal with this group of people anymore. I'll just stay in your cottage as a pawn." Let’s be a thieves, it can be regarded as the best use of talent.” "Okay, Master Leng is very thoughtful, and we went with me. The goddamn hero sees the same thing, haha... Our cottage is about to recruit troops and expand the team." The bearded man seemed very happy. When the cripple heard that I wanted to keep them here as bandits, he became anxious, and immediately said to me with a sad face: "Master, I have told you the truth, please don't let us be bandits here, okay? " "Didn't you insist that you were a bandit just now, and you still have to explain what!" I deliberately imitated my Sichuan accent to pretend to be confused. "We are not bandits, as you guessed earlier, we are also exorcists." "Since you're an exorcist, why did you switch to becoming a bandit?" "Don't embarrass us, it's not because of the corpse meeting." "Which sect do you belong to!" Tian Gudao was impatient and went straight to the point. "We can't say this even if we are killed. If we say it, we will lose face in the world. It would be better to kill us!" The cripple was sticking to the last line of defense. "I don't want to say it, and I don't force you, so you should stay on the mountain and be bandits!" I threatened again. This trick really worked. After hesitating for a long time, the cripple finally said reluctantly: "We are the heirs of the Qu Pai exorcising corpses." After speaking, the lame man wept bitterly, and kept slapping himself.It is estimated that he felt guilty for betraying Shimen. "I have told the truth, please let us go." The cripple begged. "It's definitely not a problem to let you go, but you have to wait until after the exorcism meeting is over. During this time, I will wrong you, and stay in the cottage for a few days first!" I replied. Knowing that I had made up my mind, the lame man sighed without protesting. I asked the bearded man to take the cripples to the stockade and take care of them for a few days, and the bearded man readily agreed. On the occasion of parting, I advise the bearded gang to behave themselves and stop being bandits. The bearded man said that his group, apart from blocking roads and robbery, did not have any skills to make a living, and they were still familiar with their old profession. I smiled wryly, sighed, and waved goodbye without any further persuasion, and drove the seven dead bodies to the depths of the valley. "Master Leng, we will also join in the fun at the Corpse Exorcism Conference. If you need help then just ask." After walking a few steps, the bearded man shouted behind him. The further you go in, the quieter it becomes.The beautiful Pidu River, like a jade belt, winds and turns in Wulong Gorge.The Grand Canyon, also because of the Pidu River, looks aura and rhythm.On both sides of the canyon, there are undulating mountains, beautiful peaks, lush grass and dense forests. The beauty of the Pidu River buffers the mystery of the Grand Canyon.In the canyon, exotic flowers and plants are competing for beauty, thousands of animals are in harmony, and thousands of birds are singing together. If there are no bandits here, it is really a beautiful gallery. Walking in it, you will feel like you are in a fairyland on earth. When we reached the middle of the canyon, we suddenly noticed that there were more pedestrians on the road, walking in groups of three or four, and we knew it was a mortician at a glance. It seemed that people who participated in the corpse exorcism meeting were coming one after another. Seeing us waving through the city with the flag of Tianlu Corpse, many of the corpse-hunting colleagues showed strange eyes, as if we were out of the ordinary.
