Chapter 58

At the foot of the mountain.

Not long after Luo Qingzhou's master and servant went up the mountain, several figures gathered in the dense forest beside the path.

One of them, a thin man, was surrounded in the middle.

Some of the other people had sinister faces, fierce auras, or fierce eyes, but they were respectful to the thin man.

"Boss, it's confirmed, we're already up the mountain."

"It's just the master and the servant, no one else is seen."

"We have been waiting for almost a month, and today we can finally finish this order and leave this hellish place."

The thin man's eyes flashed and his voice was low: "Second and fourth, you take the lead first. Third and fifth, you go around to surround, pay attention to the surroundings, and don't act rashly for the time being. First, take a clear look at the situation on the other side of the second and fourth. Me from behind."

"Boss, I'm just a weak scholar and a little maid. Do you need to be so cautious?"

"Lao Wu, you don't understand this. The boss always does things without leakage. A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength. After all, he comes from a wealthy family. Although we don't see any guards on the surface, it doesn't mean there are no guards behind his back. , maybe waiting on the mountain."

"Yes, it's better to be cautious."

"Then my second brother and I will go up first to test and see if there is anyone else?"

"Yes, let's take a closer look first. If you have the chance, take action directly and kill the scholar first with a thunderous strike. That will be considered as completing the mission."

"Hey, boss, I saw that girl. She is small and exquisite, her skin is white and tender, and her appearance is pretty and dewy. Later, we brothers..."

"Don't be stupid! What kind of woman can't be found if you have money? Quickly fight and finish them off as quickly as possible, take the remaining money and leave."

The thin man had a stern look on his face.

The few people discussed in a low voice before going up the mountain separately.

The sun soon rose to the sky.

Banshan Yueyao.

In the woods, smoke curled up.

Luo Qingzhou and Xiaodie knelt in front of the burning incense candles and threw the paper coins they bought into the flames one by one.

The air was filled with the smell of burning paper and burning incense candles.

The vague writing on the wooden sign became increasingly blurred in the rising smoke.

The cold wind blew around, the leaves rustled, and the ashes on the ground were swirling and flying everywhere.

When Luo Qingzhou knelt down and raised his head again, he suddenly saw through the smoke that the writing on the wooden sign was distorted.

At the same time, from the corner of his eye, he saw a vague and erratic gray shadow strangely appearing on the right side of Xiaodie who was kneeling next to him.

When he suddenly turned around to look, the gray shadow suddenly disappeared.

There were only a few wisps of ashes and unburned scraps of paper, flying in the wind and then gone away.

"Sir, what's wrong?"

Xiaodie's eyes were red and she was wiping tears.

"fine."

Luo Qingzhou withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, and threw all the remaining banknotes into the burning fire.

He looked through the smoke at the wooden sign in front of him, and then at the grave behind the wooden sign.

If it is true as what the book about ghosts and ghosts says, there are ghosts in this world.

Then the mother at this time may really be appearing as a ghost, looking at him miserably from the side, crying silently, but unable to recognize him.

For some people, this image may be scary.

But for him, it's just pain.

"Master, don't be sad... Madam's spirit in heaven will definitely be very happy if she knows that Master has married a woman who is like a fairy and is living a good life now."

Xiaodie comforted her with red eyes.

"Yes, mother would be very happy if she knew that the two of us have left Chengguo Mansion and are living well in our new home."

Luo Qingzhou looked at the burning fire in front of him and murmured.

"Let's go."

The fire paper on the ground burned cleanly, and there were not many incense candles left.

Luo Qingzhou stood up, extinguished the flame, looked at the grave again, and left with Xiaodie.

"Madam, we are leaving. Your servant and the young master will come to visit you again during the Qingming Festival."

Fluttershy sobbed and waved.

The master and the servant walked through the woods and tombs and walked up the mountain path.

At this time, two men, one old and one young, walked out of the woods opposite.

After seeing them, the middle-aged man, who was probably in his forties, hurriedly waved and said, "Young Master is staying here. Can I ask for directions?"

The two men came to the master and servant, with honest smiles on their faces.

Luo Qingzhou looked at them, nodded and said, "Where are you going?"

The middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled honestly. Just as he was about to speak, Luo Qingzhou pointed at the woods behind them and said, "Is that person your companion?"

The two men were stunned and looked back.

"Bang!"

Suddenly a muffled sound sounded out of thin air!

"哢!"

The sound of broken bones immediately sounded!

The young man's head suddenly tilted back, and he staggered back a few steps. With a "pop" sound, he fell directly to the ground. His eyes widened, his forehead was sunken, and his brain matter burst out. He died instantly!

The middle-aged man suddenly turned around, and just as he was about to take out the hand hidden in Yue Yaojian's robe, there was a "bang" sound, and Luo Qingzhou's right foot had already kicked his Yue Yaojian's chest hard, directly knocking him off. He kicked him out!

"Crack!"

He was kicked into the woods behind, and the hand hidden in his robe had been taken out. In his hand was a dagger with a cold light.

But at this moment, his chest was collapsed, his ribs were all broken, and streams of blood flowed from his mouth and nose.

He was lying on the ground, his mouth open, his eyes widened and he twitched a few times. His body went limp and he was completely dead!

This incident happened in the blink of an eye!

Before Xiaodie on the side could react or even scream, the two men were punched and kicked to pieces, their bones shattered, and they died!

Xiaodie's eyes widened, she covered her mouth, and just about to scream, Luo Qingzhou took her little hand and prepared to run down the mountain.

But at this moment, a thin man suddenly appeared below.

The thin man was originally stopping below, as if admiring the surrounding scenery. When he saw this scene, his expression changed first, and then he ran up.

Luo Qingzhou immediately pulled Xiaodie and prepared to run towards the mountain.

But two more men appeared on the mountain, both holding daggers with cold light in their hands, and rushed down.

"Walk!"

Luo Qingzhou didn't hesitate at all, and immediately ran into the woods with Xiaodie and the old man and the young man who just walked out.

When passing the body of the middle-aged man, Luo Qingzhou suddenly picked up the dagger from the ground, put it into Xiaodie's hand, and whispered: "Take it!"

Xiaodie's face turned pale, she was holding the dagger tremblingly, her legs were weak, she couldn't run at all, she cried: "Master, you... you run first, don't worry about me..."

Luo Qingzhou didn't say anything, but pulled her and continued to run forward.

"Boss! This..."

The two men who rushed down from the mountain with daggers in their hands were frightened when they first saw the miserable death of the two corpses on the ground. Their faces were full of horror and they stopped in their tracks!

This... was this done by the scholar?

The two of them had their mouths open, their faces turned pale, and they were frightened. They dared to pursue him again!

Don't you mean he's just a weak scholar with no strength? How come he instantly shattered the skull and bones of the second and fourth child with just one punch and one kick? Is this fucking more cruel than them? ? ?

The thin man looked at the corpses on the ground, his face equally shocked and ugly. However, he immediately saw clues from the two corpses and gritted his teeth and said: "That scholar is also a warrior! But he is only in the realm of skin refining, chase!"

He has already succeeded in refining the skin, and is now refining the meat, and there is a maid beside the other party, who cannot escape!

If we back down at this time, wouldn’t it mean giving up halfway?

What's more, these people are desperadoes. They have wandered on the edge of life and death many times. After this meal, they finally have a chance to get a large sum of money. If they succeed, they can fly far away and have no worries about food and clothing. How can they give up?

The meat that reaches his mouth must not be allowed to fly away!

The thin man was the first to rush into the forest.

The remaining two men looked at each other, with a fierce flash in their eyes, gritted their teeth, clenched their daggers, and followed.
