Yin Yang Fu Mo Lu

Chapter 452 Ancient Salt Road

Su Su was also worried and nodded: "A war is definitely inevitable. I just hope that the addition of the underworld will make the old ghosts here a little more timid. In addition, cousin, don't worry too much, we are getting closer to the truth step by step. The development of the situation is becoming more and more favorable to me."

Zhang Tianci smiled, turned around and looked at Zhong Yang's Gillian's grave, sighing in his heart.

If it wasn't for the deaths of Zhong Yang and Gillian, then what Su Su said was correct.Because of the Wanren Peak battle, Zhang Tianci regained the order of the Heavenly Master and shattered the fighting spirit of the ghost-masked man.In Shennongjia, they wiped out a few more ghost generals, broke through the coffin-carrying array, and captured ghost infants.

However, Zhang Tianci couldn't be happy that Zhong Yang and Gillian were dead!

The two of them waited silently for the return of Dynasty Mahan.

One night passed, and at dawn, Wang Chao Ma Han came back with Gong Zigui and other ghost boys.

What made Zhang Tianci overjoyed was that Dynasty Mahan also brought a team of ghost soldiers, with a total of about twenty, all high-spirited ghost soldiers in soap clothes.

"Da Zhenren, we have brought a team of ghost soldiers, hoping to help." Dynasty Mahan said with clasped fists.

"Thank you two brothers. It's daytime now, can we set off?" Zhang Tianci asked.

"Okay, I'll let the brothers follow us invisibly." Wang Chao smiled and waved, "Let's go."

A group of ghosts in soap clothes became invisible one after another, attached themselves to the body of Dynasty Mahan, and followed everyone towards the forest area.

Susu explored the road ahead, leading three ghost boys.

Zhang Tianci and Chao Chao Ma Han followed, following Su Su's instructions.

Seeing that Su Su moved very quickly and had an air of immortality, Ma Han of the Dynasty could not help but be curious, and quietly asked Zhang Tianci: "Master, is this Miss Hu also from Longhu Mountain? Her Taoism is so powerful, I'm afraid she's not here Under Da Zhenren, right?"

"Yes, she is my cousin, and she is indeed very powerful." Zhang Tianci answered vaguely, changing the topic to talk about something else.

Chao Chao couldn't ask any more questions, so he had to chat with Zhang Tianci while rushing on his way.

Shennongjia is a large area with many highways passing through it.But Zhang Tianci didn't want to go by the road because it was expected that the ghost would be in a remote area.If you take the road, you will definitely miss something.

Although Su Su was leading the way, she didn't know where the trip was going or the specific address of the ghost nest.

This is still an exploratory trip, so everyone starts from the northeast corner of Shennongjia and plans to go straight to the southwest corner and cross the entire Shennongjia.

Fortunately, this time there was a ghost commander from the underworld participating in the operation, so Zhang Tianci and Su Su were a little arrogant, checking while walking, not as secretive as before.

When we reached noon, the sun showed its face.

Zhang Tianci took care of Guitongzi and Dynasty Mahan, and decided to rest for a while before leaving in the afternoon.

Susu was still exploring the way ahead, working tirelessly.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Su Su rushed back and said: "Cousin, according to the itinerary, we will arrive at the ancient salt road tonight. The terrain there is very dangerous, so we must be prepared. The ancient salt road is very long, stretching for more than 50 miles, all in the On the cliff, passing through the ancient salt channel, you will find the real hinterland of Shennongjia.”

"Is there an ancient salt tunnel?" Zhang Tianci was not very familiar with it.

Su Su drew a picture on the snow and drew the trend of the ancient salt road. She explained: "In ancient times, there was no salt production near northwest Hubei, and sea salt could not be transported in. Therefore, salt dealers transported salt in from eastern Sichuan and then exchanged it for mountain products. , to make huge profits. So a salt transportation trail was opened to connect Sichuan and Hubei, which is the Sichuan-Hubei Ancient Salt Trail, which happens to cross Shennongjia."

"How do you know what happened hundreds of years ago?" Wang Chao was stunned and asked.

"I...read it from a book." Susu said.

Zhang Tianci was worried that Mahan of the Dynasty would suspect Su Su's origin, so he hurriedly called everyone on the way, saying: "The ancient salt road is difficult to walk. We can travel during the day, and the worst is to delay it for one more day."

Su Su nodded and took a step forward, leaving a mark for Zhang Tianci and others to follow.

When we arrived at the entrance of the ancient salt road, it was already dark. Susu was waiting, pointing to a place not far to the south, and said: "Cousin, this used to be an ancient market, but it is now abandoned. However, there are still houses. It hasn’t collapsed, so you can barely stay here for one night. And there’s a ghost spirit here, so maybe there will be something to gain.”

Mahan of the Dynasty also looked around and said: "There is indeed a strong ghost spirit, Da Zhenren, since we are here, let's sweep away the wild ghosts here step by step."

"Okay, let's stay here for one night." Zhang Tianci nodded.

Su Su led the way and led everyone around the mountain ridge. Among the trees in front of them, it turned out to be an abandoned deserted village.

The deserted village is very small, with dozens of households in it.The houses are divided into two rows facing each other, with a cobblestone street in between.

The houses are all wooden buildings, and most of them have collapsed. Only a few households in the middle can barely survive.

Zhang Tianci walked back and forth and said, "The residents here probably moved out not many years ago. There should still be people living here three or forty years ago. It must have been later that roads were built in the mountains and the salt transportation trails were abolished. The residents just moved away.”

Su Su nodded and said: "Judging from the top of the ancient salt channel, this is indeed the case. The salt channel must have been abandoned for decades. It is covered with moss and weeds, and now it is covered with snow, making it even more difficult to walk."

While everyone was speculating on the past rise and fall of this deserted village, they found a relatively neat house and lived in it.

Dynasty Mahan led his team to ambush outside the deserted village, forming an encirclement.

Zhang Tianci and Su Su removed some broken wooden boards from other wooden buildings and lit a fire in front of the door.

At night, Su Su took Tian Xiaohe to rest on the upper floor of the wooden building while monitoring the surroundings.

But Zhang Tianci was alone, sitting by the fire in front of the door, warming up and making alchemy.

The night was silent, and fine powder-like flying snow floated in the air.Suddenly the direction of the wind changed, and the fire in front of Zhang Tianci began to sway.

Zhang Tianci just pretended not to know and looked down at his alchemy furnace.In the elixir furnace, the ghost-attracting elixir is being refined. The aroma is filled with the aroma and the green smoke is lingering.

In the mid-air in the distance, the will-o'-the-wisp gradually lit up, gradually increasing from one o'clock to two o'clock.

Then, the will-o'-the-wisps began to move closer to Zhang Tianci, forming a half circle in front of Zhang Tianci.These are all lonely ghosts. They couldn't resist the attraction of the ghost-attracting pill and surrounded them step by step.

Zhang Tianci raised his head, glanced at the will-o'-the-wisp in front of him, and suddenly said with a smile: "There are so many lonely ghosts, why are they still afraid of me alone, and dare not show themselves?"

The will-o'-the-wisps around him were frightened and suddenly floated away.

But they did not drift away. Seeing that Zhang Tianci did not pursue him, they slowly gathered around again.
