Chapter 4, the "Loophole" of Xieling

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Xu Rui, I have met all the brothers

There is nothing on myself that they covet, so the likelihood of being stabbed in the back is very low

At that moment, several sudden cries of anguish echoed, drawing their attention away.

Leave a way out; it may come in handy at a critical moment

In an unfamiliar environment, one should speak with three parts truth and seven parts falsehood, and it is advisable to avoid standing out

Two quarters of an hour is equivalent to half an hour

Xu Rui looked at this unremarkable man, feeling secretly astonished.

A barefoot young man, dressed in tattered clothes and with dark skin, muttered softly

After taking a brief glance at the few figures in front of the tombstone, he tightened his grip on the rough wooden stick and cautiously stepped forward

The man who invited Xu Rui with an open gesture clasped his fists and smiled

Moreover, he also wanted to gather more information about the unloading of the ridge from these individuals.

In addition to the one in his hand and the one that was taken away, there are four more tokens on the stone platform

However, after five hundred years, the grass on the graves indicates that the once-great family has long since fallen into decline

It seems that he is mostly a traveling performer.

His expression was stiff, his gaze cold, emanating an aura that warned others to keep their distance

However, Xu Rui was not the first person to come here

"I was just startled by that filthy thing, and I almost went to present the urinal to King Yan. Now my head is still in a daze, and I can't come up with any ideas. Brother Wang, please don't make it difficult for me." Xu Rui said with a bitter smile.

They were driven in by the people from the mountain unloading, and it was only about an hour or so.

Although when there are many people, one can rely on others for support, no one can guarantee that they are not the one being used as support

He understands this principle

Upon hearing this, apart from Tu Feng, the others all displayed an expression of lingering fear on their faces.

Regardless of everything, we have finally made it through. The next thing to consider is how to get out, Wang Qi said

With a face full of excess flesh, eyes gleaming with ferocity, and a scruffy beard, combined with a filthy prison uniform, it is evident that he is not a person of good character

In front of the tombstone, there is a stone platform measuring two feet square, used for placing offerings

There are a total of five individuals, each with distinct temperaments, yet all of them have managed to reach this point and obtain the token, and none of them can be considered as ordinary individuals

Although Wang Qi is a man of martial prowess, he possesses a certain degree of wisdom and knowledge from books.

Tu Feng was able to suppress his inner fear of the spirits in such a short time, accurately finding the path through the dense fog and obtaining the token, which demonstrates his formidable skills

Damn it, I ran into an old ghost smoking a big joint, with a thumb-sized joint, who directly smashed a guy's head. If I hadn't run fast, I would have been done for.

Of course, we cannot be certain, but since we have been here, we have not encountered any of those filthy things. This indicates that the safety here is definitely higher than outside said Xu Rui with a smile

This person is also wearing prison clothes, but compared to Zheng Guansi's tall stature, he is much shorter, yet more robust.

From the tombstone, it can be seen that the Li family was once prosperous with many descendants.

... ...

A letter of appeal

Friend, would you like to come and sit for a while

It is evident that they all collided

Zheng Guanxi, the butcher

"Just now we were discussing how to get out of this cursed place with the token. Brother Xu, do you have any good ideas? Feel free to share them with us," Wang Qi said with a smile.

A cough drew the attention of everyone present

My wife was out cheating on me, and in a fit of rage, I killed both her and that scoundrel. I was captured by the authorities and ended up wearing this dogskin.

This individual is particularly striking; Xu Rui stands at a height of 1.83 meters, and the other person is even taller, being nearly a circle more robust.

Hehe, what does it matter if a big stick hits someone? When I encounter that filthy thing, I will directly pull out its rotten intestines and wrap them around its head. As long as I manage to wrap it, it will die instantly

On the left are the descendants at the time of the monument's erection, while on the right is the burial date, during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty. It has been nearly five hundred years since then.

A handsome man dressed in a blue robe smiled

Wang Qi, a rough man who travels the rivers and sells his art

Walking up to the tombstone amidst a series of inquisitive and scrutinizing gazes, I took a brief glance.

Those who are able to arrive here have evidently obtained the token

Xu Rui's gaze swept over the crowd; although he did not wish to stand out, he also did not want to be excluded.

The two graves are arranged side by side, clearly indicating a couple's joint burial site

Xu Youfang, an actor

"Brother Tu, you are the first to arrive. How long has it been since then?" Wang Qi asked hastily

Look towards the ever-silent Tu Feng

There are no more words after the two characters

The front features the characters "卸岭" in an iron painting style, while the back is smooth and devoid of any inscriptions

There are tokens placed above.

The item in hand is not made of iron, but rather a piece of fine ebony

... ...

Reach out and take a token

Xu Rui pondered for a moment

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that in situations with a large number of people, there is the factor of finding someone to rely on in case of danger

After a slight nod, Xu Rui turned to look at the last person.

Hearing the commotion, the gazes of the others also turned in that direction

Noticing Xu Rui's gaze, he chuckled with a grin

Turning my head, I glanced at the person beside me, who was staring at me.

Xu Rui quickly bent down and picked up a token, stuffing it into his bosom

"Who told you that those filthy things wouldn't come here?" Tu Feng splashed a basin of cold water.

Indeed, we can wait until dawn, when the sun rises, and all the demons and monsters will turn to ashes." Lai Sanlang exclaimed excitedly

The Wind of Slaughter

Humans are social animals, and when faced with danger, they instinctively come together to act.

The leader of the Xueling said, "Let us go to the center of the Luanzanggang, the Li family grave, to take the token out, but did not specify when to go out"

Therefore, Zheng Guansi and Lai Sanlang both strongly agree with his words

Alright

Tu Feng pondered briefly, "It should be nearly a quarter past."

The tomb of my grandfather, Li Gong, whose courtesy name was Wenxiu; the tomb of my grandmother, Zhou Shi, whose courtesy name was Guiying.

A single sentence caused everyone's smiles to freeze on their faces

As he spoke, he tugged at the tattered prison uniform he was wearing

For a moment, the atmosphere was somewhat silent

Brother Tu, do you have any good ideas

He clasped his fists and quickly scanned the crowd with his gaze

It is evident that, in the eyes of the Stone Tigers, the number of individuals who can pass the test and obtain the token will not exceed ten. Having personally experienced the eerie and repulsive nature of that female ghost, he felt that even ten might be too many

"If you ask me, let's wait a bit longer. Once more people have received the tokens, we can go out together," Xu Youfang said

Lai Sanlang, a shipworker

The eyes of the crowd suddenly brightened

Zheng Guansi still had a face full of fear.

The speaker is dressed in gray short sleeves, with the sleeves rolled up, revealing hands with thick knuckles, clearly indicating that he is a practitioner of martial arts

The more people there are, the greater the goal.

A cold remark struck at the deepest concern in the hearts of Wang Qi and others
