Chapter 70: The Jiang Family Hiding in the Mountains
This forest is really deep and old. There are some mountain roads at the beginning, but there are no roads at all later. I can only follow the old man through the jungle.
"What the hell is this place? Is there anyone living here?"
I couldn't help but curse.
"What the hell, if it weren't for you, a little bastard, do you think I would be willing to come to this damn place?"
The old man also glared at me and yelled at me.
Damn, the old man was right, it was indeed for my sake. I forced a smile and said, "Master, please calm down."
He snorted and ignored me. I took out a chicken drumstick from my backpack and handed it to him.
"Master, here's a chicken leg for you."
The old man turned around immediately, his eyes lit up when he saw the chicken leg, and he snatched it away, staring at me and scolding, "You little bastard, didn't you say you didn't have any?"
"This is the only one. There really is no more."
"The Jiang family has too many enemies, and some of their grievances have been accumulated for several generations. They hide in the mountains and forests to avoid their enemies. Wild beasts often appear in this forest, so ordinary people will not enter. They have set up many formations where they live. If you enter rashly, you will never reach the Jiang family's location."
Damn it, it takes a genius to settle down in such a hellhole place. There isn’t even a road. Is this whole family going to live in this forest until they die?
I followed my master into the jungle for most of the day, but the old man seemed to be quite familiar with the route. It seemed that he had come in this way when .
When I thought about the fact that this old man had to suffer for my sake, I felt a little guilty and touched. Apart from my parents and my younger sister, I guess no one else would be willing to do this for me.
"Hey, Master, thank you."
I couldn't help but say it, but because I was a little embarrassed, my voice was quite low. The master glanced back at me, snorted through his nose, and said, "Go to hell, you stinky boy, if you don't curse me in your heart, I can live a few more years."
I grinned and chuckled.
"The Jiang family is very stingy. Although I can find their home through this small path, they are still unwilling to let me take a safe route, so we still have to go through this broken place."
The master was muttering in front, and it seemed that he was also very unhappy. This was not a path at all. There were tall grass and bushes everywhere. I didn't know how the old master found such a place before.
We took several breaks along the way, and in the evening we finally heard the master say, "Fuck it, we're finally here. If you don't let me take the safe route this time, I'll never come to this kind of hellhole again."
We walked out of the jungle and the view suddenly opened up. There was a huge valley, which seemed to be as big as several football fields. There was a large number of modern-style buildings in the valley, surrounded by a circle of steel fences, which were at least five or six meters high.
At each of the four corners of the fence stood a tall tower-like building, with weapons on top. The long cannon barrels could be seen from a distance. Damn, why did it look like a secret base?
The valley is surrounded by a circle of high mountain walls and on the mountains are dense jungles. The entire valley is protected by the surrounding mountains and jungles, and it is really difficult to discover this place from the outside.
There seemed to be a halo flickering slightly in the sky above the entire valley. The master said that the Jiang family was good at the art of formation. It seemed that this flickering halo was most likely a formation, which should be used to hide and protect the valley.
"See that halo? With this formation in place, we won't be able to find this place even if we search from the sky. And if we approach from the forest, the formation will automatically attack."
I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart, and asked quickly: "Then how do we get there?"
The old man pointed to the valley over there, made a whirling gesture, and said, "We can go around from the outside and reach their main gate. As long as they find us, it will be fine. Although the outside is also very dangerous, I have already figured it out when I came here last time."
Damn it, I’m clearly here to find a wife, why do you act like a thief?
After a while of wandering in the jungle, we finally arrived at the main gate. The main gate was as big as a city tower, with two huge steel doors tightly closed. Outside the gate was a wide artificial cement road, but after a few dozen meters, the road entered a mountain tunnel.
"That road is the Jiang family's own safe route, but these guys have set up many checkpoints and formations on it. For outsiders, that road is much more dangerous than this jungle."
As the master said this, he walked out of the jungle first and headed towards the main gate, but I could see that he was very cautious.
"You follow closely."
My heart tightened and I quickly followed closely behind him.
"Beep!"
As we approached, but had not yet reached the main entrance, a slight alarm suddenly sounded from the top of the gatehouses extending outward on both sides of the gate.
My nerves immediately tensed up, and I shouted nervously: "Master, please retreat, we have been discovered."
The old man turned around and glared at me, then shouted, "What are you yelling about? It's a good thing you were discovered. I brought you here to meet my wife, not to rob you."
"oh."
The alarm sounded once more and then stopped. When we walked onto the cement road and approached the main gate, the main gate slowly opened and a man in his 40s or 50s walked out. He was dressed very simply and looked like an ordinary rural person.
"Brother Jiu, you're here so soon."
He would greet the person with a smile no matter how far away he was.
Brother Jiu? Brother Jiu?
"Fuck you, can't you just let me in through the safe route? Is this the path that people use in the mountains?"
The master cursed.
"Then Brother Jiu, you came in anyway, didn't you? How could such a small matter be difficult for you?"
The master rolled his eyes, patted my head with his hand, and said to the man, "Jiang Lao San, I brought my apprentice here. See, my apprentice is a handsome man."
I also stood up and raised my head slightly in coordination.
The middle-aged man stared at me with a smile, which made me feel creepy and inexplicably scared. I couldn't help but shrink my neck again.
The master patted my head again, and I suddenly felt a coolness on my head, and the feeling of fear disappeared immediately.
Damn, he showed me his power right away, damn it. I widened my eyes, straightened up again, raised my head higher, and stared at the middle-aged man.
"Haha, Zhongyuansheng, ghost reincarnation, yin and yang coexist, but also master the power of extreme yin and extreme yang at the same time. I wonder if it is a punishment from God, or a gift?"
