Chapter 416： 416 Five Ding Three

Chapter 416 Chapter 416 Five tripods and three

The setting sun is slanting to the west, and the dim light passes from the top of the courtyard wall, through the treetops, and falls on the edge of the white stone chessboard.

Several chess pieces are covered with withered and fallen leaves, and they flip slightly in the wind.

A petite and beautiful woman in a white dress with a golden bell around her waist. Sit quietly at one end of the chessboard.

"If there is a lovesickness that can't be lifted, it will make the love go deep into Qingyao" (Qingyao, a kind of lantern that Daling puts in the river to express his thoughts. People will write the last words of their feelings on the lampshade. When the lantern Flying away means forgetting everything and starting over.)

"If you don't see Qing Yao, you can forget everything. But you are not suitable for taking the path of extreme passion." A tall man in a blue robe with fluttering sleeves had already stood at the end of the courtyard at some point.

He approached slowly, and sat down at the other end of the chessboard familiarly.

"Among the four extreme states, the extreme heart is the easiest, but also the weakest. But it is the safest one."

He looked at the opposite woman.

"You want to follow the laws of polarity and demons, but neither of them are suitable for you."

"But I've already gone halfway. I can't turn back." The woman raised her head, revealing a confused and pale face.

She is the celestial girl Tongzhang who has disappeared for some time!

"If you insist, I can indeed help you. But you are not suitable for these two paths." The man sighed.

"I'm not afraid." Tongzhang stretched out his hand and placed it lightly on the chess piece, "Someone once told me that in this world, only strength can last forever. And Jilu and Tianmo are the strongest."

She felt the coldness on the chess pieces, and vaguely knew that she had forgotten a lot. Also became a lot stronger.

But not enough

"Then you will be very painful." The man replied.

"I have experienced too much pain, it doesn't matter. No one understands pain better than me. It will only make me stronger." Tong Zhang replied.

"." The man did not reply. He just looked sideways at the sinking sunset.

"If you are really sure, then think of your original desire first. Not getting what you want is the most fundamental thing."

The celestial girl looked up at the man.

"At first... I wanted to live, then later I forgot."

"Then what do you remember?" the man asked.

"I still remember."

Tong Zhang lowered his head.

"I"

Her mind went blank, and she couldn't answer anything at all.

"You know that getting stronger can lead to a better life, and you forget everything in order to become stronger. Your only obsession is to become stronger. But you also forget that you don't know why you want to become stronger."

The man sighed.

"If you don't remember anything, then look for your past memories. Whether it's revenge, gratitude, or protection, no matter what it is, as long as it's yours and the most important thing, go get it Come back. Whether it is the demon or the law of the extreme, this is very important.

Otherwise, you will never be able to set foot higher if you are so foolish. You will always be stuck in the first stage. "

"I understand." Tong Zhang closed his eyes and nodded slightly.

Dan Province, Yunxia Mountain.

After two days of rushing on the road, Mo Qingyu and his team finally took Zhang Rongfang to find Yunxia Mountain.

As for where they were going?

Then it is out of Zhang Rongfang's concern.

Yunxia Mountain is famous for the fact that the top of the mountain is often bathed in clouds and mist, refracted by the rays of the sun.

The mountain is not big, but the official roads and mountain roads below are densely intertwined, which is an important place where Dan Province and other provinces intersect.

On both sides of Yunxia Mountain, there are large areas of steep and difficult valleys, mountains and so on.

Only here is the most suitable for traffic.

"This is Yunxia Mountain."

Mo Qingyu stood on the **** of a small hill, pointing to a mountain not far away to introduce.

"From here, there are three road directions, namely to Fucheng, Muyang, and Sijiufeng."

"Generally, when outsiders enter the province, they will go to Fucheng first to inquire about news. After all, Fucheng has the largest population and information extends in all directions."

Zhang Rongfang looked at the mountain peak, and then glanced around.

He was imagining, if he were Ding Yu, and he came here with a map in his hand, what would be the first thing to do?

"Ask. I will ask someone first." Zhang Rongfang feels that his brain has become much smarter recently. I feel that flesh and blood supplementation seems to be really useful for improving aptitude.

"Where can I find someone to ask?"

"There may be only three channels, one: passers-by. Two: herbs and woodcutters. Three: nearby residents."

Passers-by are the most difficult to grasp, because the randomness is too large.

As for the woodcutter who gathered herbs and woodcutters, he looked around and saw nothing. Obviously, no one came here to chop wood and gather herbs.

Last nearby resident.

"Are there any residents nearby?" He asked suddenly.

"We don't come here very often." Mo Qingyu hesitated.

"Then you are useless." Zhang Rongfang's eyes turned cold.

"Wait, wait!" Mo Qingyu shuddered and shouted immediately, "There are so many of us, maybe we know something about the surrounding situation!"

She hurried to discuss with the rest of the women. At this time, they were the only ones in the team.

The two men who were captured by the fascination were released long ago.

A group of people ask and answer, repeatedly ask, and ask.

Finally, Mo Qingyu found a woman who was familiar with the situation nearby.

She pulls people up.

"I'm old, my lord! My name is Chen Daniu and I am nineteen years old!"

This woman has beautiful features and a good upper body figure, but her skin is a little darker, her hands are rough and chapped, she is obviously used to doing farm work since she was a child.

"Da Niu, hurry up, don't keep your lord waiting!" Mo Qingyu hurriedly urged.

"Yes." Chen Daniu briefly introduced the surrounding situation.

From her dictation, everyone learned that there are three nearest villages around Yunxia Mountain.

Go to the village in the direction of Fucheng, and there is a place called Ranxin Village.

Immediately, Zhang Rong asked her to lead the way to the village.

The group of people crossed several hills non-stop, and soon found the Ranxin Village that Daniu mentioned.

The village is not big, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is only one entrance and exit.

There is also a wooden building and arrow tower at the entrance.

After the people from Mo Qingyu went up to negotiate, the group was allowed to enter the village.

Soon, after paying some favors, Zhang Rongfang easily met the head of the village—a 70-year-old man with the body of a girl.

"Tell me, what's the matter with you? I thought you were traveling merchants nearby, but I didn't have any goods. If you want to find out something, hurry up, I have to go back to work." The village chief's name is Zheng Chunjuan. Although she is petite, but in The prestige in the whole village is obviously not small.

Zhang Rongfang noticed that the woman who served them tea would tremble slightly when facing the village head, obviously extremely frightened.

"That's it. I want to find out if there has ever been a young man like this who passed by here before?" Zhang Rongfang handed over Ding Yu's face that he had just drawn with charcoal.

Zheng Chunjuan took it and looked at it.

On the paper, a man's face, which was drawn delicately and exquisitely, appeared in front of his eyes.

"This person" She pursed her lips, as if trying to remember.

Actually, there are at least ten or twenty men who come into their village every month, so I don’t necessarily remember them.

But Ding Yu made a deep impression on her.

It's all because this kid has been squeezed for so many days, but he still has the strength to escape, and his legs are not weak. Really talented!

So she was very impressed with it.

How long has passed at this time, and someone came to look for it so soon. She didn't expect it.

It wasn’t so fast before. It usually took several months, or even half a year, before someone came to ask.

Most of them have no news, and no one pays attention to the missing people.

"I don't have any impression of this person." As for acting skills, the village head Zheng Chunjuan has long been proficient, and her heartbeat doesn't even speed up.

How many times they have done this kind of thing to deal with the relatives of the men they found.

He had already dealt with it easily, without changing his face.

"Think again?" Zhang Rongfang unconsciously revealed a touch of gold in his hand.

That is the color of gold leaf.

Zheng Chunjuan saw it, and a trace of greed flashed in her eyes.

But she thought about it for a while, and shook her head helplessly.

"Sorry, sir, it's not that I don't want to say it, but I have never seen this person before."

Zhang Rongfang carefully stared at the other party with his dark-light vision, but there was nothing unusual about his expression, heartbeat, or breathing.

It seems that I really don’t know

He exhaled lightly and stood up.

"Since that's the case, I'm sorry to bother you. I'll take my leave." He still left a coin and turned to leave.

"Guest go slowly." Zheng Chunjuan picked up the money with a smile and watched the other party leave.

She didn't throw the broken silver away until she could no longer see anyone.

She doesn't like this little money at all.

Especially when I just got a large sum of money from that Ding Yu.

The amount of money is so huge, and that token, at first glance, it is not an ordinary power background.

People who can be found so quickly, casually revealing information, isn't that asking for trouble?

Zheng Chunjuan smiled, she is not that stupid.

Outside the house, Zhang Rongfang and his team walked quickly between the houses, preparing to leave the village.

Passing by a few small buildings, Zhang Rongfang noticed that there were girls in the buildings who put yellow flowers on the bronze mirrors.

Pasting yellow flowers is the custom of the previous dynasty. Since the founding of Daling Dynasty, many provinces have not had this custom for two hundred years.

There are still

Looking at these girls after removing the decals, there are faint flower marks on their faces, which is beautiful and elegant.

In addition, many of their clothes are of good material.

There are also houses here, all of which are two-story buildings.

"This village is very rich," he said.

"It should be because it belongs to Heilong Township and is next to the main traffic road." Mo Qingyu replied in a low voice.

Zhang Rongfang thought for a while, and indeed, the external traffic of the entire Dan Province passes through here.

In this way, there is some truth to being rich.

Immediately, he stopped thinking about it and walked out of the village with a group of people.

The huntress on guard on the tower whistled at them from a distance, with a frivolous look on her face.

Leaving the village, Zhang Rongfang decided to go directly to Fucheng. Over there, you can first contact the leading personnel you sent, and then gather a group of local personnel to conduct a large-scale search.

This is much more efficient than searching by yourself.

"No!" Zhang Rongfang suddenly stopped in the forest.

"My lord?" Mo Qingyu and others stopped behind in confusion. "What's wrong?"

"Why can't you see a man in that village?" Zhang Rongfang frowned.

"." A group of women looked at each other, but they didn't understand what it meant.
