Old Man Mu was quickly washed away along the river. When he was washed away, he estimated that he was at the end of his life.
He trusts me quite a bit, perhaps, it is also helpless, after all, he is about to die and there is no other people around.
I am still a person who keeps promises, especially the entrustment of dying people. Since I have promised, I must do it. After Old Man Mu disappeared, I immediately got up and headed to the river bend sixty miles away.
Sixty miles away, I said it’s not close, I said it’s not far. When I was halfway there, I happened to meet a villager who was driving home with a cart and took me for a ride. But in the evening, I arrived here. Pianhewan.
This is a small creek with no people everywhere, and it is still twenty or thirty miles away from the nearest village. I have never been to this place before. When I first arrived here, there were no people near the river bend. After waiting for about a moment, a man came here by rowing a small broken boat. After docking the boat, he sat by the river bend. On, took out a fishing rod.
This person should be about the same age as the old man Mu, and he is also thin and dry. I watched him pick up the fishing rod, thinking that this should probably be the person that Old Man Mu said.
I walked over, and the other party didn't respond. I came to him and tentatively asked: "There is someone who is fishing by the river just like you. Do you know him?"
"Old Man Mu?" The man turned around and asked, "He asked you to come?"
"Yes." I said Old Man Mu's name as soon as I looked at the other party, thinking that there should be nothing wrong.
"What's wrong with him?" The old man seemed to have a feeling, put down the fishing rod in his hand, stood up and asked, "Can't he come by himself?"
"He's gone." I told me about the experience of meeting Old Man Mu: "He asked me to tell you, let you report to your suzerain, that person is still alive."
"I know." After hearing the ending of Old Man Mu, the old man seemed to have expected it, but he couldn't accept it for a while, his expression was a little sad.
I heard Old Man Mu talk about this old man fishing in Crescent River Bay, called Old Man Lei. After hearing what I said, Old Man Lei dropped his fishing rod, turned and walked towards the boat docked on the shore.
I knew that he was in a hurry to report the letter, so he followed two steps and asked: "Are you going to see your Sect Master? Can you show me to see him?"
Old man Lei guessed that he had also seen me on Huangquan Road. Hearing what I said, he thought about it and said, "Get on the boat."
I didn't expect that he would agree so simply and decisively, and quickly boarded the boat. However, after I got on the boat, I wondered that the Huangquan Corpse Collector should not be on Huangquan Road at the moment. If it were on Huangquan Road, it would be impossible for Old Man Lei to take me there so happily.
"Is your Sect Master not on Huangquan Road?"
"You are very smart." Old man Lei steered the boat and walked to the north: "The lord is indeed not on Huangquan Road."
Between his words, there is still a trace of unspeakable melancholy. For a person of this age, his tears may have drained long ago. Even if he encounters some sad things, he will not cry like the past.
But I can see that Old Man Lei is very uncomfortable.
"You and that old man have known each other for a long time, right?"
"It's been a long, long time. I do the math. It has been several decades since I was a child." The old man Lei looked at the south side, although it is impossible to see it already.
The old man walking down the river, but he still wanted to take a look.
The second appearance on the human road was sixty years ago. At that time, the old man Lei and the old man Mu were both in their teens. In a blink of an eye, sixty years later, the green youth has also become a white-haired old man.
"Old Man Mu told me that the person is still alive. Who is he talking about?" I can now be sure that the person Mr. Mu said must be a very important person, but there is no clue. come out.
"I don't know." The old man Lei shook his head and said: "We are just looking for a kind of stone in the river. That kind of stone can judge a person's life or death."
The polished stone is used to judge the death of a person. If the lines on the cross section of the stone are not interrupted, it means that the person is still alive. If it is interrupted, it is dead. It is very effective. Old man Mu and Lei have been looking for this kind of stone for a long time, but they don't know who the stone represents.
Perhaps only the Huangquan Corpse Collector can truly understand this.
Old man Lei drove the boat for a long time, and only moored on the east bank in the middle of the night, and then went ashore. After getting ashore, he walked for a long time with twists and turns. At the edge of a forest, he learned a few bird calls.
Not long after, a man came out of the woods. After seeing Old Man Lei, he led him in. I followed behind and walked to the deepest part of the deep woods. There was a small shack in front of him. After I got closer, I saw the corpse hunter in Huangquan.
I didn't expect that the Huangquan corpse hunter would live in such a place. He had accumulated such a large treasure house, rich in the enemy's country, but lived in such a forest shack.
"Old Man Mu found the stone. He saw it with his own eyes and said that man is still alive." Old Man Lei walked to the Huangquan Corpse Collector and said: "Old Man Mu...no longer...Leave this message, then..."
Huangquan’s look on the corpse hunter also seemed to be serious. These old guys were all veterans who had followed him for many years. They were very experienced, and the one who died would lose one, which was a great loss.
"He wants to come and see you." Old man Lei turned his head and pointed at me again, and said, "I brought him here."
"Go down and take a good rest. Now that you find the stone, you don't need to look for it again."
Old man Lei went aside. At this time, I saw that there were still many people in the forest, but they were all hidden in the dark, which was difficult to detect.
I walked to Huangquan's corpse hunter, and when it was possible, I realized that his face was not very good, sallow and sallow, as if he had suffered a serious illness.
But then I realized that he was not sick, he must have been injured after a battle with the Anonymous and the others.
When I think of this, and look at the environment he is in now, my heart suddenly clears. The Huangquan corpse hunter must have suffered that time. Peerless masters like Wumingshi, Wankun, and Passerby will be difficult to resist when they come out. Three came, plus a scholar holding a nether figure, the Huangquan Corpse Scavenger must have failed to guard the entrance of Huangquan Road.
Huangquan Road will inevitably fall, if it weren't for this, it would be impossible for the Huangquan Corpse Collector to hide in such a place with people.
Huangquan's corpse hunter is not in good spirits, but in front of me, his waist is still straight.
"Since it's here, just sit down." The Huangquan Corpse Collector sat down in the shack, and then
Make tea in boiling water.
"Are you used to living in this kind of place?"
"If a person pursues something, he must be lacking something, and if he gets everything, he will have no attachment to everything." The Huangquan Lao Zuo man poured the tea and said, "You must be in southern Xinjiang."
"Yes, I went to the ancestral land of Qiankun Dao, but there was no danger, but I finally came back."
The corpse hunter Huangquan asked me about my details, and I told him about it. Actually, I am not very clear about the situation on the Qiankun Dao. I just saw the big dog. I think the Qiankun Dao may also be there. Some movement happened.
"Isn't that big dog raised by you? How did it get to the ancestral land of Qiankun Dao?"
"That dog, I'm just raising it temporarily for others." The Huangquan corpse hunter smiled faintly: "The leg is growing on it, and it's going out, no one can stop it."
"Huangquan Road, isn't it... Is it occupied by Qiankun Dao? Otherwise, you wouldn't hide here."
"Yes, Qiankun Dao occupies Huangquan Road." Huangquan Corpse Collector said: "Since they want Huangquan Road, they temporarily give it to them."
I feel a little puzzled. The Huangquan corpse hunter has spent so many years of hard work on this matter, and it is rumored that this time the human road will return to the world, and everything will come to an end. That also means that the gate at the end of Huangquan Road is about to open.
Will the Huangquan corpse hunter give up willingly at this time? I don't think it will. If I fight for one thing all my life, then I will not give up anyway.
I looked at Huangquan Corpse Collector, and when I wanted to ask him, I saw a light flashing in his eyes.
Suddenly, I suddenly realized that he seemed to have a different meaning.
He manages Huangquan Road alone. After so many years, no one is more familiar with Huangquan Road than him. Even if Qiankun Road occupies Huangquan Road, Huangquan Corpse Hunter can still control the overall situation. But he quit willingly and took the road to the world. What did this show
"When things are at the last juncture, someone will always have to sacrifice." Huangquan's corpse scavenger seemed to know what I was thinking, and said lightly: "Since Qiankun Dao must get ahead, let them grab it."
I understand that when the gate is opened, there will inevitably be a lot of casualties. Qiankun Dao desperately occupied Huangquan Road at this juncture, and they definitely wanted to open the gate. In this way, all the problems will have to be faced by Qian Kun Dao.
"So, they are still calculated by you?"
"No one is calculating who, I didn't invite them, they want to come, how can they be called calculating?"
When Huangquan Corpse Collector was talking, he coughed twice. He wiped his mouth unintentionally, but I keenly saw that his hand was stained with blood.
It was at this moment that I noticed that between the temples of Huangquan's corpse hunter, there was already white hair.
In this short period of time, he was seriously injured, and he was also much older.
"I'm fine, fine." The Huangquan corpse hunter found me watching him in secret, and said lightly: "I can't die yet."
"I want to ask you alone." I scratched my head and remembered the story I heard about Madame Mingyu when I left southern Xinjiang. Yaoyue didn't explain the origin of Madame Mingyu clearly at the time. So, I want to ask Huangquan's corpse hunter.
