After two glasses of wine, the old official let go of his guts.
With a slight blush on his face and a little rosacea, he began to complain to Wu Ming.
"Oh? Looks like there are a lot of people these days?"
Wu Ming's heart skipped a beat.
"That's right... Let's go further east from here, which is the place where no one shits in the past... On weekdays, even a ghost doesn't come, but recently, it's been evil. There are waves of people. They eat and ask for cards, and let the little one The old man’s family has lost their livelihood this year..."
The old official made a bitter face, and immediately became excited again.
I secretly kept these words in my heart, even though my son didn't say anything, why did I say all of them when I saw a strange official today
Some regretted it, and said with a smile: "The little man made a slip of his tongue after drinking, and he is a rough man. The adults laughed at me, laughed at me..."
"nothing… "
Wu Ming sent the old official away, eating and drinking casually, looking left and right: "Isn't this the contact point set by the Department of Strange News? How come no one has come yet?"
bang!
Hoo hoo!
Just as he was thinking about it, the gate of the inn was kicked open again, pouring into the room full of wind and sand.
"It's really a poor country!"
A somewhat sharp voice came, with a delicate and mellow voice, it seemed to be a boy who hadn't spoken yet, and it seemed to be a woman.
Wu Ming was a little surprised, and immediately saw three officials dressed in official styles walk in. A young man in brocade clothes was holding his nose, his skin was like jade, with a crystal clear color, and slightly rosy.
The complaint just now obviously came from her mouth. At this time, she was taking out a brocade embroidered with gold silk to wipe her hands, and there was a look of disgust on her face.
'Dressing up as a man? Should it be so obvious? '
Wu Ming complained silently in his heart.
"..."
The old official had obviously never seen such a person who was as beautiful as jade. Perhaps the girl at this time was like a fairy made of jade in his eyes, and he simply forgot to answer.
"Shan'er! It's done!"
Behind the girl was a rough-looking middle-aged military officer, followed by a thick-headed young man.
The general handed over the stamped voucher to the old official, and said to the old man, "Hurry up and prepare dinner, there are still three good rooms! We will stay for one night, and tomorrow I will see three fine horses!"
"this… "
The thick and crisp paper of the official document in his hand, as well as the big bright red seal, densely packed with secret marks and words, are obviously not fake, but the old official has a look of embarrassment on his face: "Lord Qianhu... I really can't make it up!"
"Can't make it up?"
The military officer frowned, looked around, and sneered again: "According to the rules, your post station should have three officials, five helpers, cooks, grooms, and nine horses... Are there none? This bull, hehe... Presumably, he usually rents money for profit, so what is the crime of abusing public property?"
After saying these few words, the old official almost knelt down: "My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life!"
"Let me spare you, you know what to do!"
The military officer of Qianhu sneered, seeing Wu Ming again, he narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had looked at him for a while, he was a little confused and didn't want to cause trouble, so he went to another seat and sat down.
"Uncle really has sharp eyes! Just a few words can scare the crap out of him..."
The young man said flatteringly: "It really deserves the name of Lingzhou Goshawk!"
Another girl disguised as a man looked left and right, and looked at Wu Ming with a pair of shiny black eyes from time to time, obviously a little curious.
"Shan'er, don't worry too much!"
Seeing the girl, the thousand households had a look of helplessness on their faces: "This mission is dangerous, why do you follow?"
"Daddy... my daughter is not weak, at least Brother Canghu, he can't beat me!"
The girl proudly pointed at the young man.
Canghu's face turned red, he almost wanted to find a crack in the ground to slip in, he was really ashamed that he could not beat a young girl in vain.
"Nonsense!"
Military officer Qianhu frowned, and scolded: "Your cousin let you! A little spell, on the battlefield, the military spirit will disappear as soon as it rushes, what's the use?"
"Daughter knows..."
The girl's face turned red: "So when I came out of the mountain this time, I begged for a magic weapon from my master!"
"oh?"
Military officer Qianhu was startled.
He naturally knew that his daughter's master was an accomplished master of Taoism and had some connections with his family, so he accepted his daughter as a disciple.
It's just that I didn't expect that this time I went down the mountain, and I was given a magic weapon!
"Could it be that a real person calculates the secrets of heaven and knows that I have this difficulty? Is it to send my daughter back to protect me, and also to increase contact?"
It is precisely because of this idea that the middle-aged man did not refuse his daughter to go with him.
Now that he heard that the treasure was also given, his face suddenly turned unhappy and worried.
Knowing that this mission of the Department of Strange News will definitely not be so simple.
"This lord..."
As he was thinking slowly, the man on the table next to him came over with a smile on his face: "I'm Zheng Jun, I'm Baihu of the Department of Strange News in Dingzhou, I don't know..."
"Are you Baihu?"
The girl immediately chirped like a sparrow: "Amazing! My father is Qianhu, brother Canghu has only been a general banner until now!"
Like a daughter, the middle-aged man covered his eyes helplessly.
Especially the Canghu next to him, lying on the gun for no reason, with a speechless expression on his face at this moment.
"It turned out to be Lord Qianhu!"
Wu Ming gave a deep bow, but he didn't salute. After all, he was not a subordinate, and the difference was not more than three ranks, but he still showed his token.
It is said that there are naturally some marks of Taoism on this token, which can confirm the Allah, but when it meets Wu Ming, it will naturally be faked directly, and the clothes are seamless.
It's as if Qianhu, the strange news department, didn't notice it. After the inspection, his face softened a little: "Brother Li from Dingzhou also met me a few times. I don't know how it is now? You can lead the team here , where are you staying?"
"Master Qianhu is sick and cannot come..."
Wu Ming replied calmly, but bypassed several mechanisms secretly buried in the goshawk's words.
"This Li Zongyi..."
After a few words, Goshawk has generally believed in Wu Ming's identity, but he felt a little frustrated in his heart, and even more envious of Li Zongyi: "It's better to use this method to escape the errand!"
Of course he didn't expect that Li Zongyi was not pretending to be sick at all, but a real sickness!
"... That's why I came here because I was eager to serve the country, but I don't know why there is no one at this contact point..."
Wu Ming said with some regret.
"You are one step late, the earlier masters of the Department of Unusual Information have all gathered at Baigu Mountain!"
Although this young girl has practiced Taoism and has the rank of a sorcerer, she has a noble aura, but she is innocent and innocent, and she vented her feelings with a few words.
"Bone Mountain?!"
Wu Ming was overjoyed, and thanked him with a smile on his face.
"Wait!"
At this time, Goshawk still had some doubts in his heart, and drank another bowl of wine: "Young people are awesome, how about you go with this old man?"
"Huh?"
The girl was startled, and even the Canghu next to her was taken aback.
'When going out, it is most taboo to walk with strangers, and to talk lightly...Why is my uncle so uncharacteristic? '
Canghu was a little puzzled, but seeing that Goshawk had a serious face, and it wasn't because he was drunk and slipped his tongue, he secretly held back.
"Coming together? That would be disrespectful!"
Wu Ming, however, agreed without hesitation, no matter what the man's plan was.
Even though there are all kinds of calculations and schemes, if I break them with my own strength, what can I do
…
"Bone Mountain..."
In the early morning, four fine horses cut through the silence and set out on the road with smoke and dust.
Wu Ming grabbed the saddle, but there was a look of doubt on his face: "Why do I seem to have never heard of this place name? It doesn't seem to be on the map..."
Canghu next to him explained in good faith: "Shangzhou is dilapidated, and even the maps are rarely detailed. Most of them are from hundreds of years ago... Of course not. This Baigu Mountain was originally an unnamed barren mountain near Shengjing in Shangzhou. , it was only in the last few decades that it was discovered that it possessed supernatural powers, which seemed to have mutated evil spirits, and someone had seen traces of a bone demon god, so it got its name... We also heard the news after asking around for a long time!"
"Bone Demon God..."
Wu Ming's heart moved, and he also felt that the faint spiritual imprint was constantly strengthening as he and others hurried on their way, and he was a little speechless in his heart: "It can't be such a coincidence, can it?"
"I also heard from Master!"
Seeing Canghu showing off, the girl immediately leaned over, with an excited look on her face: "I also heard from Master... Back then Shang Jie had no way and was punished by heaven, not a single blade of grass could grow in Shengjing, and there were many wild and ferocious beasts." The appearance of beasts, rampant for a while, hurt people's lives... Even the things born of that kind of evil spirit are very harmful to us ascetics... "
"I see!"
Wu Ming smiled and nodded, but complained silently in his heart: "Dragon Sha mixed with the aura of a mysterious bird, with the curse of the dynasty, even ordinary earth immortals are difficult to use... Your master is just a real person, and you still want to make up your mind?"
Goshawk didn't say a word, silently watching her daughter and nephew fighting fiercely with Wu Ming, but occasionally there was a gloomy glint at the bottom of her eyes.
After another half a day, a big mountain appeared in front of Wu Ming and the others.
"This is the Bone Mountain? Really..."
Cang Hu opened his mouth wide, and it was difficult to describe the scene in front of him.
Wu Ming looked around, and as far as he could see, a black mountain range occupied most of his field of vision, and there seemed to be snow on the top, and there was a faint roar of beasts.
Originally, there should be no grass around Shengjing, but at the foot of the mountain, there are clumps of black bushes, as black as iron, with barbed branches and sawtooth-like leaves.
"Extreme things will be reversed! This should be a condensation point of evil spirits, but there is a little life instead!"
Wu Ming nodded, let go of his spiritual sense, and sensed the breath of living beings, and even traces of huge beasts.
"This mountain not only has the legend of the Bone Demon God, but also has many bone beasts, which are more ferocious than ordinary beasts! Be careful!"
Goshawk exhorted solemnly.
"Bone beast?"
"Well, according to that person, this bone beast is mostly in the shape of a tiger and wolf. The outer skin is covered with bones. It looks like armor. It's very fierce!"
Canghu said with some fear.
