Chapter 1465 Evil Cultivator
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Tang Qisheng tore the wrapping cloth into strips and distributed them to everyone to blindfold.
Li Bai picked out a herb from the herbs he carried with him and gave each person a small piece, asking everyone to hold it in their mouths, saying that it could refresh the mind.
The pill tasted slightly bitter, and then became more and more bitter. The fat man couldn't help frowning.
Everything was ready, and everyone blindfolded themselves. The fat man held the horse's tail tightly with his hands and took a deep breath. He never thought that one day he would pin his fate on a horse.
Not only his, but also the doctor's horse. The doctor's horse ran away without a trace, so at this moment Jiang Cheng had to stand behind the fat man and hold the fat man's clothes with his hands.
Horse-fat man-Jiang Cheng, the three temporarily formed a combination, and the key to the combination was the horse.
Just before everyone was about to set off, the fat man seemed to be inspired by the bitter taste in his mouth and asked: "Well, I have a question, why do we stupidly follow the horses by the tail instead of riding them?"
This question made everyone stunned, because they got lost before because they were holding the horses and restricting their movements, and now they rely on the horses' instincts, so everyone chose to look at Jiang Cheng who proposed this plan.
Jiang Cheng took off his blindfold and touched his nose embarrassedly, "Actually, they are all the same, but since he said so, then do it according to what he said."
After all this trouble, everyone changed their formation and finally set off, but due to the fat man's physique, Jiang Cheng couldn't ride on the same horse with him.
Tang Qisheng offered to give his horse to Jiang Cheng, and he and Zhu Jie could ride together, but Jiang Cheng declined politely. Jiang Cheng turned and walked towards Shao Tong, "Brother Shao, let's go together."
Shao Tong naturally understood Jiang Cheng's intention, and smiled and replied: "If this can make Brother Jiang feel more at ease, of course there is no problem."
Jiang Cheng jumped on the horse, put his arm around Shao Tong's waist, and whispered in his ear: "Brother Shao, don't worry, I feel safe with you."
At the same time, he squeezed his legs against the horse's belly. Without the guidance of people, these horses trotted one after another. Judging from the nearby horse hoof sounds, these horses were heading in the same direction, and then they left it to fate.
After walking for an unknown period of time, the team finally stopped. Jiang Cheng and others carefully took off the blindfold. Surprisingly, the surrounding fog did not dissipate, but the visibility was slightly better. They seemed to be on a hill now.
Standing here and looking around, it was all a hazy sea of fog, and the fog in the sea of fog was constantly rolling, as if something was surging rapidly in it.
There were jagged rocks under their feet, and occasionally there were several half-foot wide, bottomless cracks. Jiang Cheng and his men couldn't figure out how these horses arrived here safely.
But riding horses in such a place was obviously unrealistic, and they didn't dare to do it. They were even more worried that the horses would knock them off the cliff after being frightened, so everyone tied the reins of the horses to a nearby tree, came to an open place, and gathered together to discuss what to do next.
But suddenly, the horses seemed to be frightened by something, and began to struggle violently, raising their front hooves and pulling the reins violently.
"The horses are frightened!"
Zhang Qizheng rushed over to comfort the horse, but was almost trampled by the raised horse's hoof. The fat man actually saw fear in the horse's eyes.
With a "snap" sound, the reins tied to the tree were torn off, and the strongest horse turned and rushed into the fog.
Then the second one.
"Not good, our supplies are still on the horse's back!" Tang Qisheng roared.
The fat man took advantage of his flexibility to take a lot of dry food and water bags from the irritable horses, but the horses could not stay and rushed into the fog.
Just when everyone was hesitating whether to chase or not, soon, the roar of horses came from the depths of the fog.
The roar was very shrill, and it soon ended after a few sounds, and the fog fell into silence.
His scalp was numb, and the fat man couldn't help but take a few steps back. It was obvious that there were other things hidden in the fog.
Yao Shunyu's face turned cold, "It's those ghosts, they are chasing us!"
There was no need to discuss this time. Everyone immediately picked up the food and water bags and headed in the opposite direction of the roar.
After walking for just a few minutes and bypassing a huge rock, the scene in front of them stunned everyone. They saw a star-like light in the hazy fog.
The light was motionless, as if embedded in the fog.
As the wind blew, the fog was gradually lifted like a gauze curtain. After a moment, the fat man suddenly opened his eyes. A village appeared not far in front of them.
A muddy path emerged from the fog and meandered towards the village.
The village in the fog was terribly quiet. The fire they saw before was lit from the village. Usually, the presence of fire means that there are people living there.
They walked all the way to the entrance of the village. The village was quiet. What was even more strange was that the previous lights also disappeared.
Everyone stopped. Everything here was weird, as if the lights just now were just bait to attract their arrival.
The fat man had something in his heart that he didn't dare to say. He felt that this village might be a ghost village.
But looking inside from the entrance of the village, although the village was not very big, it was still neat inside and did not feel dilapidated and abandoned. Through the low courtyard wall, you can still see the fishing nets hanging and drying in the courtyard, as well as some rough tools that cannot be named.
This is a fishing village, that's obvious. There's a small wooden boat upside down in the open space not far from the entrance of the village. There's a big hole in the bottom of the boat, and it looks like there's no need to repair it.
Just when everyone was hesitating whether to go into the village or continue to observe, a strange sound suddenly came from behind, and then several figures rushed out from behind the tree.
They were several strong men, led by a shirtless man with one blind eye. He held a harpoon in his hand and pointed it directly at Jiang Cheng and the others, saying sternly: "Who are you? What are you doing in our village?"
Seeing that the other party was alive, everyone felt relieved. Jiang Cheng explained: "Don't get me wrong, we came from Luo'an City. We encountered fog on the way, and the horses we were riding ran away. We didn't know the way, so we accidentally came to Guizhuang."
"Really?" The one-eyed man stared at Jiang Cheng, his eyes seemed to want to drill a hole in him.
Jiang Cheng spread his hands and said sincerely: "Of course it's true, we have no ill intentions, as long as we find the way, we will leave your place immediately."
"Search for me."
The man waved his hand, and the other men surrounded him and began to search him. In the end, the things that were searched were placed on the ground. There were only food and water, a few books, and some medicinal materials.
Just when Jiang Cheng and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, they suddenly heard a man excitedly say, "They are really human beings, not those evil cultivators!"
