When Wu Feifan and Wu Jinsong's cousins, who were transported to the inn, finally successfully completed the trial task of two inferior freshmen of Anxi brave college after unexpected difficult planning and a life-threatening duel.

On the other hand, Zhang Heng and his party, after following a group of people in the escort agency for a comfortable day, finally ushered in their own crisis and challenge.

That night, they camped out in a deserted village near a post station.

This deserted village is only Li Xu away from the post station.

A few years ago, because of the continuous business travel on the post station and an endless stream of pedestrians, the whole village benefited a lot, which made the whole village prosperous and prosperous.

If this trend continues, the village near the post station will gradually form a village. Within ten years, the village can form a small town.

In a period of time, I'm afraid we can form a city wall with small sparrows and complete internal organs.

But none of this happened in the end.

Because just when the small village was booming, one winter a few years ago, business travel was not good, passers-by disappeared one after another, and all the people in the small village died overnight on a windy night.

Whether adults or children, men or women, whether healthy or sick, all died overnight.

Even the poultry and livestock, chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep in the village died in their owners' homes.

It was not until the spring of the next year that a business traveler came to the village again for lodging that he unexpectedly found that the village had become a dead village and lost all its vitality.

The business trip found that those who died were still as calm and natural as before, and many people seemed to have a faint smile on their faces.

Except for some people outside the house, they were covered with ice and frozen stiff. Those people in the house, if not for the business trip who had tested their breath, heartbeat and pulse, would think that these people were just meditating or just falling asleep. But in fact, all these people have died. I don't know how long they have died.

After learning the news, the city master of the nearby area specially sent the most experienced craftsmen under his command to check the cause of death of the dead.

As a result, after more than a month of exploration, he finally left without saying a word and looked ugly.

According to the information obtained by people familiar with the matter, after returning to the city Lord's house, the recovery of the city Lord was only four words: incredible.

After reporting this incident and leaving the gate of the city Lord's residence, the famous Wuzuo mysteriously disappeared. He did not return to his official office, nor to his small but tidy, quiet and clean home. Some people said they had seen him go out of town on a donkey.

Some people say that he looked at the rolling East River on the stone bridge in the city and was stunned for a long time. When the sun was about to set, he suddenly jumped gently with both hands holding the stone railing pole and jumped into the muddy and Yellow River under the bridge.

Some people even said that the real him didn't go out of the city master's house at all

There are different opinions on this matter, but there is only one final result, that is, he disappeared after he came back from that day and went to the city Lord's residence.

Maybe Wuzuo is dead, maybe he has sneaked away.

This matter is not important. What is important is that his personal experience shows the importance of a matter.

That is the cause of death of the villagers in that village.

This incident finally even alerted the Anxi governor's office, which then invited the brave people of Anxi brave college to jointly explore the deaths of villagers in the village.

The results of the exploration were inconceivable.

According to the exploration results of the brave man who once went to the village and Anxi brave college, almost everyone couldn't help but frown when they heard the results.

The cause of death of the villagers is the same as that of heatstroke.

In the cold winter of ice and snow, all the people in the whole village died of heatstroke overnight.

No one can believe such a thing!

But it is true!

So far, no one has made it clear how the villagers of this village, including the poultry and livestock in the village, died of heatstroke at almost the same time on an ice and snow winter night.

Since that happened, although the village names in the village have been emptied and buried in the nearby mass grave.

However, no one is willing to live in the village. Even homeless beggars are not willing to come to this strange and mysterious village.

In the past, because of the mysterious death of the villagers in the village, as long as they have a choice, they try to choose not to settle in the village.

Only those escort agencies that think they are strong and are not afraid of any accidents, or all the officials, will settle down in this village without taboos.

When Zhang Heng and his party came to the village, it was still early, and the orange sun was still half hanging in the sky in the West.

Look at the sky. It will take at least an hour before it gets completely dark.

When sun Yaoting, the chief escort of Beihai escort agency, came to the village, he put his hand over his eyes and looked up at the sun in the sky in the West. He was going to lead the people on the way and try to get to the next village.

Just then, at the back of the line, Mr. Yudi and his party were surrounded by eight chambermaids riding on black clouds and snow antlers. Suddenly, a short and pleasant flute with unknown meaning came from the small pavilion on the back of the ferocious giant elephant.

As soon as the sound of the flute fell, Qingxue, who was sitting in front of the party, blinked her eyes, immediately hit the horse, drove the black cloud covered snow antler horse, and rushed to the place where sun Yaoting was in the center of the team.

Hearing the sound of the flute from the rear of the team, Eric Yaoting wanted to open his mouth, but he didn't speak at this time.

Since joining the team, Mr. Yudi has never come out of the small pavilion on the back of his own giant elephant, and he hasn't even said a word.

So far, sun Yaoting has no idea whether the other party is male or female.

All things of Mr. Yudi were conveyed to his eight maidens through the ever-changing sound of the flute, and then to Eric Yaoting through the eight maidens.

After sun Yaoting thought for a while, Qingxue came to sun Yaoting on his high toe and high spirited, Xiongjun's extraordinary dark clouds covered with snow.

Before waiting for Qingxue to speak, sun Yaoting greeted Qingxue on horseback and said with a smile: "here comes Qingxue girl? I don't know what Mr. Yudi has to say this time?"

Qingxue immediately heard sun Yaoting's voice and was slightly stunned. Then she hugged her fist and saluted. Then she said, "chief escort, Mr. Yudi means that it's getting late today. If chief escort sun is not in a hurry, there is not a village nearby. We might as well stay here tonight?"

Although what Qingxue said was polite, it was obvious from the look on her face that she had determined that sun Yaoting would promise her.

After hearing Qingxue's words, sun Yaoting didn't look unhappy at all. After a little thinking, he nodded, opened his mouth and said with a smile: "what Mr. Yudi said is that it's really late today. We've been on our way all day. It's time to have a good rest."

Then, sun Yaoting of Beihai escort agency turned his head and opened his mouth to a middle-aged escort in front of him: "escort Lu, it's late today. Tell everyone to turn to the village in front and stay in this village tonight."

After listening to the words of sun Yaoting, the chief escort of Beihai escort agency, the middle-aged lead escort Lu didn't immediately go to give orders. Instead, he tilted his head and glanced at the clear snow covered by dark clouds. A look of disdain and displeasure flashed in his eyes. Then he turned the antler horse head and rushed to the front of the team.

A moment later, under the leadership of master Feng, Zhang Heng and his party led a large team down the post road and turned to the deserted village nearby.

After the people settled in the village, it was really dark.

Zhang Heng and his party and Beihai escort agency settled down in a large family in the village, and the ten escort carts were also settled in the courtyard, surrounded by escorts.

Only Mr. Yudi and his party did not live in this courtyard, but chose a small courtyard nearby that looked exquisite and clean.

For the choice of Mr. Yudi and his party, general escort sun seemed to be unknown. He didn't say a word and didn't comment.

That night, after eating the dry food they carried with them, they found their own rooms in the courtyard, lived and slept one after another.

Only the night watchman still raised a fire under the eaves, drinking wine, eating barbecue and boasting together.

Late at night, the orange fire under the eaves burned smaller and smaller. Gradually, the orange flame finally disappeared and extinguished, leaving only curling smoke and burning charcoal.

The three night watchmen also leaned against the porch column under the eaves and fell asleep.

At this time, a figure suddenly flew into the courtyard and looked at the three night watchers who were sleeping with their heads up under the eaves. Suddenly, they fell quietly in front of the three people, like a dragonfly skimming the water. With a gentle wave of the sleeve of their right hand, a milky white light smoke suddenly divided into three, They jumped into the nostrils of three sleepy night watchmen.

Three groups of light smoke just flew into the nostrils of the three escorts. A strange and strange look suddenly appeared on the three faces. Then in the next moment, their heads suddenly looked like their necks were broken, and their heads suddenly hung in front of their chest.

The Taoist shadow stretched out his hand, put his fingers under the noses of the three people's heads, and then fell in the center of the yard with no expression. He looked down at the ten escort carts in the center of the yard. Then his right hand turned over, and there was a dark dagger in his hand. The dagger was pulled up on the escort cart.
