Donghu Mountain is extremely dangerous. The cliff where Zhao Xing is standing is covered with clouds and mist. It is impossible to see the end clearly, but it is at least four to five hundred meters high.

Falling down from such a high place?

Zhao Xing took a closer look and found that the man was in a bloody mess and even had several parts missing.

But he's not dead yet!

Under observation with bright eyes, this man actually still has a glimmer of vitality.

"What the hell, it scared me!" Zong Shichang jumped up from his chair.

"It's a person." Zhao Xing activated the bright eye spell.

"Dead and alive?"

"Not dead yet, but almost dead."

"No! I know this person!" Zong Shichang looked at him carefully and his expression changed.

Then he immediately ran over.

Zhao Xing looked around, supported Xingyun, and then slowly walked over.

"Brother Wang, how did you fall from the mountain?" Zong Shichang ran over to the rubble and squatted down.

"Pig, pig..." The man surnamed Wang seemed to be a warrior. Only half of his body was left, but he was not completely dead. He even had the strength to speak.

"Pig? How can there be a pig here?" Zong Shichang said. "Brother Wang, please make it clear."

"Horse, horse..."

"Horse? What do you want to say?" Zong Shichang couldn't figure it out. It was a pig and a horse. What exactly did you want to say?

"Brother Wang, if you have any last words, please state them clearly. No, I won't remember them even after passing the Wangyou Monument."

"You, uh~" The man surnamed Wang widened his eyes and refused to close his eyes. He didn't know if he was angry with Zong Shichang.

"Don't worry, although I don't know why, you died serving my Zong family. I will definitely take good care of your family after you go out." Zong Shichang reached out his hand to close the other person's eyes with some sadness.

Strangely enough, after Zong Shichang said these words, the man who was still staring at death closed his eyes.

"Kakakaka~"

When the man was completely dead, suddenly a dark wind came out, and the pile of rubble began to sink downwards, sucking both parts of the man's body into the ground.

When Zhao Xing and Zong Shichang saw this, they quickly bowed their hands and paid homage to the ground.

This is the ghost of Donghu Mountain, sending the officials' bodies away.

After leaving the rubble pile, before Zhao Xing could ask, Zong Shichang took the initiative and said: "This man's name is Wang Dong, and he is a member of the martial arts department in Mai County. One of the four people entrusted to my family is him."

"He didn't reach the eighth level of Juyuan until he was forty-five years old. He couldn't straighten himself out. He asked to come to my house this year. My father promised to get him a place as a guard this year. He never thought that he would die here not even an hour after going up the mountain.

.”

"Brother Zhao, you said that he was both a pig and a horse before he died. Are you blaming me and shouldn't take this job from me?"

Zhao Xing shook his head and said: "If he blames you, how can he trust you to take care of his family?"

Zong Shichang seemed to feel relieved: "Yes, but what exactly does he want to tell me?"

Zhao Xing said nothing and was thoughtful.

After someone died, Zong Shichang had no leisure time to drink and enjoy the scenery. He sat there frowning and thinking.

Unexpectedly, it hadn't been quiet for long before another pitiful and rapid cry came from the depths of the jungle, mixed with the roar of an unknown beast.

Fortunately, the roar gradually faded away after a while.

After a while, Zong Shichang stood up, took out a box from the box and walked over: "Brother Zhao, I plan to go mountain climbing, so I won't be here to accompany you."

"Why did you change your mind?" Zhao Xing asked.

Zong Shichang sighed: "I originally planned to wait at the foot of the mountain. But now that I have entered the mountain, it is not safe whether it is up or down the mountain."

"I plan to contact the other three people. If we gather together and have their protection, it will be safer."

"Here is a box of Juyuan Dan. You can take it and use it. Let's say goodbye."

Zhao Xing looked at the medicine box Zong Shichang put down: "Brother Zong, wait a minute."

Zong Shichang turned around, with a look of doubt on his face.

Zhao Xing said slowly: "I didn't want to say more, and I don't know whether it would be good or bad for you to say it, but I see that the brother named Wang you invited was seriously injured before he fell off the cliff."

"The collapse of his chest must have been caused by a blunt object impact, and according to the last words he left, it should be referring to the one-horned bamboo horse, a treasure of the craftsman."

Zong Shichang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

Zhao Xing added: "Let me make a bold guess. It is possible that no one knows about the transaction between your family and the brother named Wang."

"The Zong family's large business in Nanyang County will inevitably arouse jealousy. If someone takes this opportunity to attack you, then he may have blocked the disaster for you in this accident."

Zong Shichang's expression changed, and his eyes became suspicious.

Zhao Xing said calmly: "Donghu Mountain is supervised by Yin Shen. Although killing is prohibited, snatching and fighting are not prohibited. This boundary has always been very blurred. Otherwise, there would be no need to set up the Monument of Forgetting Worry."

"Besides, you don't have to do it yourself to kill. Suppose I compete with you for your beauty, cast a spell to tie you up and leave you here, and a wild beast eats you afterwards. This is not considered a violation of the rules, it can only be regarded as your bad luck."

"You are not lacking in this kind of wisdom. I still suggest that you go down the mountain directly without taking this risk."

Zong Shichang frowned, seeming to be thinking about Zhao Xing's words.

It can be seen that this rich boy has never been severely beaten. After all, he is surrounded by people who are flattering and flattering him. Everyone gives his father three respects. How could he think so much?

Now that he was reminded by Zhao Xing, he seemed to think of something, his expression changed uncertainly, and he seemed to be struggling.

Zhao Xing continued: "If you have to go up, you should be more careful. When you encounter someone riding a bamboo horse, turn around and leave. Don't risk your life that I guessed wrong."

Seeing Zong Shichang deep in thought, Zhao Xing said no more.

Besides, it would be taboo.

As he said just now, if something happened in the mountains, it was due to bad luck.

If you have bad luck, how can you become an official in the Qi Luck Dynasty?

It’s the same as being promoted to the ninth rank. If the luck of the country and dynasty promotes someone with inherently poor luck, it will cost more.

The fortunes of a country and the dynasty must consider the balance of revenue and expenditure, so there is a rule that after the death of an official, the fortune will be returned to the dynasty.

There is also a situation like Xue Wenzhong who has not been promoted for decades. In the final analysis, the old Si Nong's innate luck level is too low, and he can only be a ninth-rank official unless he can make great contributions. But it is difficult to be a Si Nong in the rear.

Is there any opportunity to make great achievements?

Cailingxiu not only screens out those with bad luck, but also gives people the opportunity to make up for their bad luck.

Of course, there are more methods than these, but he doesn't plan to go into too much detail about the secrets involved.

His reminder of this was worthy of some of the information Zong Shichang had previously provided.

"Okay, I understand, thank you Brother Zhao." Zong Shichang bowed his hand.

Zhao Xing nodded and watched him leave.

As for whether Zong Shichang believed it or not? Who did he have any grudge against, and would he continue to go up the mountain? He was not interested in knowing, and he had no intention of paying attention.

His diamond bamboo and ivy are about to mature.
