Chapter 70: Going to the meeting in the bamboo forest

The name of Moluo Town is "Zhen", but its area is no smaller than a city. It has four gates and bustling traffic. Everywhere you look on the streets, there are people from all sects of the Moluo sect, wearing fancy clothes and weapons.

When leaving the inn, Mo Yu deliberately walked around the West Street entrance to test whether there was anyone suspicious following him. The result was good and he found nothing.

Follow the flow of people on the street and gradually go around North Street.

As the saying goes, plan first and act later, and don't do anything you are not sure about. Since the other party mentioned Beizhu Forest, I would go to Beizhu Forest first to find out.

Does this bamboo forest exist? What are the strange things in the bamboo forest?

The North City Gate is the same as other city gates, except that the word "North" is engraved on the city wall. The city gate is wide open, and there are no defenders, so you can enter and exit at will.

Mo Yu was wearing a black coat and robe, with the collar of the robe pulled up as high as possible to hide his young face, lest he be spotted by someone with ill intentions.

In Mo Luo Town, there are demons who are licentious, and burning, killing, looting and looting are commonplace. Mo Yu has never forgotten this, nor dares to forget it.

When I left the city, I encountered two sects that had been feuding for a long time. Each side had a younger generation climbing the magic ladder, but only one came back. As a result, one side thought that the other side was secretly causing the death of its younger generation.

If you want to inflict a crime, there is no reason to hesitate. The sky is dark and the earth is dark, and the battle is endless. People passing by avoid it and stop to watch the show.

Taking advantage of this gap, Mo Yu walked past the outside and hurried towards the west side of the city.

I had previously inquired with people in the city about buying and selling information, and found out that two miles west of the north city gate, there was a natural bamboo forest, which was deep and dense, winding and complicated like a maze.

Once upon a time, a leisurely person entered and was trapped in it, unable to find his way and stayed there for five or six days. When he came out, he was in a miserable state and had lost a lot of weight due to hunger and thirst.

There are also people who are well prepared, bring enough water and food, and after several explorations, they find nothing in the end. The bamboo forest is just a bamboo forest, and there is nothing strange about it.

At this moment, Mo Yu stood outside the bamboo forest, looking at the faint bamboo forest in front of him.

There are more bamboos in the south, and they are evergreen all year round. In addition, the climate is not as cold as in the north, with plenty of light and moist soil. At a glance, most bamboo bodies have a white wax layer, and few bamboo leaves are slightly yellow.

Mo Yu was not in a hurry to enter the forest. He made a mark on the spot and then walked straight to the left side of the forest. He didn't see the end for several miles.

Go back, then go straight on the right side, and it will take you several miles before you see the end.

At first glance, this bamboo forest is not that big. It only has a horizontal diameter, not a vertical diameter. Looking back on the words of the person who sold the information, it is very likely that those who come out of the forest will find their way out left and right.

Stepping into the forest, there are layers of yellow bamboo leaves on the ground, which are soft and fluffy when stepped on. Walking along a straight line for a mile, the front is still deep and endless, and the surroundings are quiet, making you feel eerie.

Looking left and right, there were only bamboos, but there were still bamboos. I felt inexplicably irritated in my heart, my eyes were wandering, and I had a faint tendency to feel dizzy.

There is something strange about this bamboo forest!

Feeling alert, he patted his face with his hands, regained consciousness, and hurriedly returned along the original path. Using his skills at a fast pace, it actually took him twice as long as when he came in to get out of the forest.

Walking out of the forest, he found that he was dozens of meters away from the place where he entered the forest. Mo Yu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and secretly exclaimed that it was dangerous!

I almost fell into the forest and lost my direction. Fortunately, I didn't go too deep and my response was timely. If I had hesitated again, I might have been trapped for four or five days.

The general situation has been figured out, and there is no need to explore further.

The possible reasons for the secret person to set the meeting place here are, firstly, to prevent Mo Yu from being followed, so that he can hide in the bamboo forest at any time; secondly, because the bamboo forest is secretive and hidden from the eyes and ears of others, it is inconvenient for people to talk in a crowded place.

.

As for the third reason, this is what Mo Yu thought about today: the person who sent the message is indeed a member of the Blood Refining Sect. He may have done this because Sun Xiangyi could not be caught when he escaped, and he wanted to use himself as a bait to lure Sun Xiangyi away.

Come here to catch them all!

Thinking this way, it can also explain why there has been no movement from the Blood Refining Sect. I thought there would be ambushes outside the four major city gates, but I went out of the city today and found nothing. This is not in line with the style of the Blood Refining Sect.

In today's situation, we are always at the mercy of others, and we often cannot help ourselves. Even if we know that there are tigers in the mountains, we still have to go to the tiger mountains.

He set off to rush back and when he arrived at the city gate, there was no one left on both sides of the battle, leaving only a few pools of bright red on the ground. The faces of the people coming and going were as usual and unmoved.

I wanted to rush back to the inn, but when I passed by a pancake stall and saw a large circle of residents, I stopped and queued up to buy a few.

Back at the inn, Mo Qi was meditating and woke up when he heard some noise.

Mo Yu put the pancake wrapper on the table, pointed at Mo Yu and begged: "Cultivation is not something that can be accomplished overnight. It must be done step by step. Take your time and eat something first."

After Sun Xiangyi's incident, Mo Qi was greatly stimulated. In addition, due to the Peak Demon Meeting, he considered himself a burden, had a low personality, and practiced hard every day. Mo Yu saw this and kept it in his heart.

Just because you don't tell me, doesn't mean you don't know.

Mo Qi came over, opened the wrapping paper, looked at the steaming pancakes, felt moved in his heart, nodded to Mo Yu, took out one and handed it to Mo Yu: "Brother, you can eat too."

Mo Yu shook his head: "I've already eaten it, there's no need to worry."

After saying that, he walked to the window, opened the window, looked at the scattered passers-by outside, and told Mo Qi everything he saw today.

Mo Qi ate and listened. After listening, he asked solemnly: "According to what the elder brother said, this bamboo forest is a place of right and wrong. Should we go or not?"

Mo Yu already had the answer to this, and he smiled: "Go, of course I want to go, I want to see who is the master who is pretending to be a ghost here."

Mo Qi's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he half-tempered: "Brother, can I go too?"

There was a trace of expectation in his words, and Mo Yu felt a pain in his heart. How could Mo Qi be allowed to walk on thin ice like this! After thinking about it, he realized that the person in the dark had always been in control of his movements, and Mo Qi should also be under observation. Therefore, it was impossible to leave Mo Qi alone.

Safety.

Bite your gums and wear it!

When Mo Qi learned that he could also go with him, he was very excited and started preparations immediately.

The two days were uneventful. The only change was that the various factions in Mo Luo Town were getting fewer and fewer people. They left from the four gates one after another, leaving only some of their permanent subordinates.

On the third day, they recharged their energy during the day, ate and drank enough, left the inn at dusk, and went to the horse market to buy two bay-red horses.

It was nightfall and there were few people at the city gate. Two tall and handsome horses came out from the north city gate with their whips whipped. The horses' hooves kicked and the dust flew, and they rushed to the bamboo forest two hundred meters away.

Find a secret place, hide the two horses and tie them up, and then walk to the bamboo forest.

It was five o'clock in the morning when they arrived at the bamboo forest. They did not enter the forest first, but crouched in a bush outside the forest to see if anyone had set a trap in advance.

It was a half-moon night and the night wind was freezing. An hour and a half passed without even a single figure appearing.

Mo Qi tightened his coat and robe, rubbed his hands and said in a low voice: "Brother, it's almost midnight."

Mo Yu looked up at the position of the waning moon, looked around, and responded: "It was deliberately two hours early tonight. In this case, either the other party came earlier than us, or there is something strange in the forest. There is another possibility.

, because he doesn’t even bother to do anything.”

Mo Qi blinked his eyes and carefully considered the meaning of Mo Yu's words. Indeed, if the strength is strong enough, any conspiracy is just a tiger in the paper and cannot be attacked.

The cold night penetrated the body, and the two stopped talking and waited with bated breath for the appointed time.

Finally, after another three moments, the time struck as expected, and the half-moon arrived at the bamboo forest, where the sky was clear.

Mo Yu stood up, and Mo Qi followed suit. The two slowly walked towards the bamboo forest. When they were about ten steps in front of the forest, a red light suddenly lit up deep in the forest.

If the distance is too far to see clearly, it should be the guidance given by the other party.

"It seems that the other party is quite on time." Mo Yu looked at the red light in the deep forest and teased.

Mo Qi, on the other hand, was on full alert and held the You Snake in his right hand in advance. This time, he was determined not to be a burden.

Without much hesitation, the other party should have known about the arrival of the two men, so he gave the signal. The arrow was on the string and had to be fired. He had no choice but to enter the forest as promised.

The two of them entered the forest. Mo Yu took out a chopstick and took off a cloth bag from his waist. He opened it and found white flour inside. He dipped the tip of the chopstick into the flour. After walking a few steps, he stopped and touched a piece of bamboo with the tip of the chopstick.

Do it.

The night was dark, and the red light moved forward. Strangely enough, as the two of them moved forward, the light moved further away. When the two stopped, the light stayed still.

From this, Mo Yu guessed that the bright light was a lantern or the like, and someone was carrying it, so he was so spiritual. Otherwise, in the middle of the night, in the quiet bamboo sea, other people would have thought it was a ghost.

After following the red light for half an hour, the flour had bottomed out, and they were still surrounded by a bamboo forest. The two of them sighed at the depth of the forest sea. If Mo Yu hadn't recovered in time that day and got lost here, there was a high chance that he would have lost it.

You're going to suffer a lot.

Continuing to walk, Hong Guang had no intention of stopping. At this point, Mo Yu simply threw away the chopsticks and flour bag, put aside his mentality, and quickened his pace to chase Hong Guang.

As the speed increased, the red light became faster. After two sticks of incense, the red light finally stopped where it was and did not move forward with the two men.

Seeing this scene, Mo Yu motioned for Mo Qi to follow him, and the two of them slowly walked toward the red light.

After advancing fifty meters, the scene in front of us suddenly changed. There were no bamboos around, and it was completely empty. Looking closely, it was not that there were no bamboos, but that the bamboos had been cut down deliberately, and there were still some traces left in the pile of bamboo leaves on the ground.

After walking another fifty meters, there is a gravel road paved with bluestones on the ground. As we continue walking, there is a door made of bamboo at the end of the gravel road. There is no fan, only a door frame.

On both sides of the bamboo gate, there is a fence surrounded by sharpened bamboos.

After passing the gate, there was still a gravel road. On the left side of the road was a vegetable garden and on the right side was a livestock house. As the two passed by, they heard the crow of a chicken.

Ten meters away from the livestock house, at the top of the gravel road, there is an exquisite two-story bamboo building. There are five or six red lanterns hanging outside the building. On the steps outside the building, there is the same lantern at the moment, but it is carried on the right hand.

.

The two of them stood in the courtyard, looking at the person holding the lamp in front of them. They were both dumbfounded and their expressions changed greatly.
Chapter completed!
