NOVEL NEXT Chapter 88 Rules
Don't move, don't move! When Li Huowang's voice sounded in the dark bamboo forest, everyone froze in place instantly.
They stood there motionless, looking up at the rows of bamboo tips above their heads, for fear that these things would just go straight down.
Don't move. Li Huowang said, he raised his right foot and took a step forward.
When the others saw this scene, their hearts rose in their throats, but when they saw that the bamboo above their heads hadn't changed, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Huowang lifted his foot and took a few steps forward, and after turning around in a circle, the bamboo was still the same bamboo, nothing changed.
Could it be that the bamboo in this poor place looks weird? Gou Wa said hesitantly.
Regardless of whether it was true or not, Li Huowang didn't dare to guess, and started to ring the bell with one hand, and Mr. You, who was formed by lines, quickly patrolled around the bamboo forest.
After a while, when Master You came to Li Huowang and said that there was no problem, Li Huowang's heart was slightly relieved.
What he was relieved was not what Master You said, but that the strange staring feeling disappeared.
Li Huowang didn't put Master You away immediately, but took him forward together.
Although the ringtone makes people dizzy, it is better than being attacked by the so-called Eighteenth of the Twelfth Moon.
Follow up, let's go through the forest quickly.
Li Huowang walked towards the bamboo forest while ringing the bell. He opened the buckle of the cowhide bag with his fingers, and the instruments of torture inside were quickly spread around his hem.
At this moment, everyone held their weapons and held their breath, one by one, followed closely, for fear that they would not be able to keep up if they fell behind.
As time passed, the bamboo tips above the head became lower and lower, and the lower ones even touched the roof of the carriage.
The sound of the bamboo tip being pulled on the roof of the carriage was piercing and sharp, which made everyone feel very depressed, but Master You still showed that he had no enemies.
Walking through this strange bamboo forest, everyone has the feeling of being drilled into the mouth of something, and those bamboo tips are the fangs of that thing.
In this environment, Li Huowang didn't know how long he had been walking, and his dizziness made him lose his sense of time.
Suddenly, he felt a light in the distance, exit!
Excitedly, he waved his long sword that was as sharp as iron, and a large piece of bamboo was cut down, and the dazzling sunlight shone in.
The sun in the sky made everyone squint their eyes subconsciously. It was too dazzling. Judging by the position of the sun, it should be already afternoon.
When everyone who came back looked forward, they couldn't help but widen their eyes. They actually saw a village behind this strange forest.
The blue-tiled houses in the distance are scattered and uneven, which is no different from all the villages that Li Huowang saw on the road.
And at the edge of a clear pond at the head of the village, some big girls and young daughters-in-law are beating their clothes while chatting and laughing about trivial matters.
Brother Li, are you really here? Could we have gone to the wrong place? Xiao Man asked suspiciously with a slight frown.
After quickly filtering the location given by Master Jingxin in his mind, Li Huowang put away the bell in his finger and walked towards the distant village.
Follow the prison, don't let your guard down, maybe this is just an illusion of the eighteenth of the twelfth lunar month.
The eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. Could it be a village? Bai Lingmiao murmured to himself.
What she said was also in Li Huowang's mind. The only information he could get about the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month from his teacher was that it was red.
As Li Huowang and the others approached, the women who spotted them first were naturally the women washing clothes. They picked up the clothes, whispered and walked towards the village.
The approach of such a large group of people wearing black gauze hats obviously attracted the attention of the people in the village. Groups of young and middle-aged men surrounded the village with some agricultural tools, their eyes very wary.
Outsiders! What are you doing in our Wujia Village? Are you passing by or visiting relatives? An old man with a goatee shouted to Li Huowang from a long distance away.
Li Huowang's eyes swept over the faces of all the villagers, but he didn't find anything abnormal. On the surface, it seemed that this was really just like a normal village.
Will the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month be here? Li Huowang thought to himself.
When he saw the village chief yell out the second sentence, Li Huowang led the people over, cupped his hands, and opened the map to them.
Old man, please trouble me, is the location on this map your village?
What? Ask for directions? The old man took the map and started talking with the people beside him in a low voice.
Li Huowang stared at their faces intently, observing any expressions on their faces.
After discussing for a while, the village head handed the picture back with both hands. Outlander, you have found the wrong place. The seat on the map is twenty or thirty miles away from here.
I found it wrong? Haven't arrived yet? Li Huowang quickly calculated the distance from Anci Temple to here, Master Jingxin said it was two hundred miles, and he was not a machine, and a little error seemed normal.
Hehehe, then I was reckless, and I found the wrong position. Li Huowang's generous hands arched at the people in front of him again.
But old man, the sun is about to set, can you let me stay overnight? It's been half a month's journey, and we are really tired.
This... the village chief looked at Li Huowang and the others with obvious vigilance in his eyes.
Old man, please do me a favor. The smiling Li Huowang leaned over, and the long robe wrapped around the other's hand.
Feeling the slight sinking of the palm, the village chief's expression changed immediately, and he pinched it with his fingers.
Okay, the west wing of our house is still vacant, so I'll let you live in it, remember, it's only for one night.
Just as the two carriages were walking towards the village on the moss-covered stone slabs, Gou Wa leaned over and asked in a low voice, Senior Brother Li, didn't you find the right place?
Li Huowang glanced sideways, at the villagers who were peeking out from the door.
Maybe we're on the right track? Maybe this is what we're looking for?
He has been out for so long, and the most important thing he has learned is that he can only believe one-third of anything that others say.
Since the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month can change into any shape, a complicated village is undoubtedly very convenient for hiding.
I don't know if it eats people. If it does, then this village is also a very convenient place to get food.
His eyes began to search, looking for all the red in the whole village, but he still didn't find any red when he reached the village's home.
Arriving under the archway at the entrance, the village head clasped his hands and looked at the outsiders in front of him.
Let me talk about that first. There are many rules in Wujia Village. These are the rules passed down from the previous generation. They cannot be changed. If you want to live here, yes, you must abide by the rules. If you can't do it, you can do it now. Walk.
rule?
