After noon, Shi Xuan and Ding Mingde were about to set off because they were rushing to Yuhua Pavilion. They stood up and said goodbye to Yan Jujian. At the same time, Ding Mingde politely invited Yan Jujian to accompany him. After all, the destinations of both sides were the same, and they met again. If they did not invite him, they would seem rude and rude. But after all, the identity of Yan Jujian was not clear. If they really walked together, they would waste a lot of effort to be wary, so they just invited him politely. If the other party was tactful, they would naturally refuse.

Unexpectedly, Yan Jujian had no intention of refusing, so he agreed directly. Shi Xuan and the others were unable to get off the tiger, so they had to ask him to get on the carriage. For Shi Xuan, maybe this is better, the danger in the open is much easier to deal with than the shadow in the dark.

Zheng Daniu looked at Yan Jujian's burly figure and his face turned green, but Shi Xuan's promised reward of five taels of silver made him unable to object. He could only watch Yan Jujian step onto the carriage, which made the carriage squeak, and even the two horses in front couldn't help but take a small step back.

Two slow horses walked slowly on the official road with heavy carriages. Since Yan Jujian got on the carriage, he just sat cross-legged behind him and basically didn't speak much. Except for occasionally asking Ding Mingde, he completely ignored Shi Xuan, and Shi Xuan could even feel a faint warning.

Shi Xuan felt more and more that this trip to Tongxuan Mountain became strange, but since he was going to seek immortals and seek Taoism, he had the means to keep his feet on the box, so he could not give up.

The strange atmosphere in the carriage was maintained until the foot of Tongxuan Mountain. Just half past Shen Shi, Shi Xuan could already see the three words "Tongxuan Mountain" written on the boundary monument at the foot of the mountain.

After giving Jinzi a hand over Zheng Daniu, Shi Xuan used the excuse to go to the back of a mountain wall, intending to take this opportunity to hear if Yan Jujian, who was a little wary of him, would say something to Ding Mingde after he left.

After arriving at the mountain wall, Shi Xuan leaned against the mountain rock, closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing, and entered an ethereal state, and tried his best to exert his keen senses, because the distance here is far away and he cannot hear it as casually as before.

Sure enough, he heard Yan Jujian lower his voice and said, "I wonder if Brother Ding knows what happened to a certain family when they arrive at Shuanghu Village, Tongxuan Mountain?"

"No, didn't you go find an old friend?" Ding Mingde's voice was somewhat puzzled.

"Yes, the friend of a certain family came to Tongxuan Mountain two years ago, and no news was sent back. A certain family was worried about his safety, so they came here."

"Did you encounter danger in the mountains? It is said that there are many ferocious beasts on this mountain."

"Hahaha, will he die in the mouth of a beast?" Yan Jujian's mocking voice could no longer control the volume.

"Then...that's that?" Ding Mingde hesitated.

"After a family came to Chuzhou City, they secretly investigated for a long time and found that many people disappeared in Tongxuan Mountain every year, and they all have the same point, hehe, do you know what it is?" Yan Jujian did not answer directly, but turned to another topic.

"Being eaten by wild animals?" Ding Mingde replied in a daze.

"Hey, they are either people like you, who have both parents died, or who are away all year round and have not been home for several years. In short, even if they are missing, they will not cause too much trouble."

"Ah? What, what, how could it be!" Ding Mingde was a little scared.

"So, a certain family originally wanted to go up the mountain to explore it, but by chance he heard that you were going to Shuanghu Village, Tongxuan Mountain, and remembered the place name mentioned by a friend from a certain family, so he came to ask. After that, he asked you that you were both dead, and combined with the news that a certain family had found before, the certain family decided to go with you."

"I, I, I won't go." My teeth began to tremble, ready to give up.

"Brother Ding, don't you think it's too late to go back to the foot of Tongxuan Mountain? "Yan Jujian's playful voice.

"You...what are you going to do? Brother Zi'ang, by the way, I'll go back with you with Brother Zi'ang!"

"Hey, your brother Ang doesn't have to take you back!"

"What's the meaning?!"

"He is a hidden master. If you want to kill you, it is easier than killing a chicken!"

"It's hard, can't! No! Brother Zi'ang is generous and generous, with the legacy of the ancients, and he looks like a gentleman!" Ding Mingde retorted excitedly, and the more he said it, the more he was smoother, and the next half sentence was completed in one go.

"I don't read much, but I still heard a saying, "You should not have the intention to harm others, but you should not be willing to let others go. I'm afraid you two haven't known each other for long." Yan Jujian said leisurely.

"This, this..." Ding Mingde was speechless.

"Brother Ding, since you have come here, why not take a family to find out the truth and completely solve the consequences, otherwise you will not be at ease even if you return home, and even cause trouble to your relatives."

"Cousin, yes! Cousin, he is coming too!"

"That's right. Let's take a family to go. Some family said without boasting, "With a family here, you will definitely be able to protect your safety. Brother Ang, your brother, is very powerful in martial arts, but may not be able to surpass a hand of a family." Yan Jujian's plain voice was full of confidence.

"This..." Ding Mingde's hesitant voice.

"This world, plus the old monsters that cannot be found in the hidden world, can surpass a certain family, and can count them with ten fingers." Yan Giant Sword's calm voice gave people great confidence.

"Okay! I promise you!" Ding Mingde agreed gritted his teeth.

Seeing that the two of them had finished discussing, Shi Xuan stayed behind the mountain wall for a while before slowly walking out, apologizing to the two with a smile, saying that they had suffered from stomach upset.

Yan Jujian still ignored Shi Xuan when facing Shi Xuan, while Ding Mingdeguan couldn't act and responded to Shi Xuan with a slight dodging attitude. Shi Xuan pretended not to see him and urged the two of them to go up the mountain together. Tongxuan Mountain looked strange and big, but we won't go to the uncharacteristic place.

The three of them walked silently on the mountain road, especially Ding Mingde, whose faces were heavy and fearful, so that his waist was almost bent. If Yan Jujian hadn't been standing behind him, Shi Xuan was very doubtful if he would scream "ah" and then turned around and ran away.

Tongxuan Mountain is deep and quiet, with birds singing crisply. Even in the hot summer, you can feel a cool air. In this environment, the three of them quickly arrived at a luxuriously decorated pavilion with three seal characters "Yuhua Pavilion" hanging on the plaque. A stone tablet erected on the left of the pavilion, which recorded the history of this pavilion. It was built by the Minister of the previous dynasty. Twenty years ago, three years ago, wealthy families in Chuzhou City donated money to repair it.

After seeing this pavilion, Ding Mingde said to Shi Xuan and Yan Jujian: "My cousin said that the butler of Shuanghu Village will wait for me here at the beginning of Youshi. Now there are more than two minutes left before Youshi. We might as well go into the pavilion to rest for a while."

Shi Xuan nodded and said, "Yan Jujian did not comment, so the three of them went into the pavilion to sit in one side. Shi Xuan planned to take advantage of this gap to recover and prepare for the subsequent itinerary, so after sitting down, he closed his eyes and rested his mind, and his internal energy began to run slowly. Yan Jujian was not sure whether he was as careful as Shi Xuan's fight. Anyway, Shi Xuan noticed that he was sitting upright with his eyes closed and did not speak. Ding Mingde was restless, and stood up several times and wanted to walk towards Yan Jujian, but then wandered back and sat down again.

As the qi was moving, time flew quickly, and soon the sun began to turn west. Ding Mingde judged from the shadow that it was almost time for You, so he stood up and prepared to wake up the other two. But before he could speak, he saw Shi Xuan and Yan Giant Jian opening their eyes respectively.

Shi Xuan stood up and said with a smile: "It seems that the hour of You is coming soon." At this time, Shi Xuan saw a figure walking out from the corner of the mountain road in the distance, "Uh, that's the big butler?" He pointed at the other side.

Ding Mingde quickly turned around and looked, but unfortunately he had poor eyesight and could only see a blurred black shadow.

The figure staggered over and came close in an incense stick. It was an old man who looked very old, wearing a black cloth dress with a color and a hat. His hair exposed was completely white, his face was very wrinkled, like an orange peel, and he was dry and thin. He was holding a big red lantern in his hand with the word "king" written on it.

Shi Xuan looked at the old man and felt a strange feeling in his heart, as if something was put in this body. Unfortunately, it is not convenient to use magic to open the eyes of the sky now.

Yan Giant Sword gently pushed Ding Mingde, who was frozen in the spot, and Ding Mingde seemed to suddenly realize his enlightenment and saluted: "Can the old man be the butler of the Wang family in Shuanghu Village?"

The old man raised his head, looked at Ding Mingde with his turbid eyes, and gave a whisper, his voice hoarse: "It's me, but Mr. Ding Mingde?"

"It's right below that the butler's surname Gao is named?"

"Old is naturally named Wang, and he dare not taint Mr. Ding's ears. Just call him "Old King Butler, who are these two?" The butler saw Shi Xuan and Yan Giant Sword behind Ding Mingde.

"These two are friends, Shi Xuan Shi Zi'ang and Yan Jujian, who are here to come and visit Tongxuan Mountain. I wonder if they can take them to Shuanghu Village tonight for a night?" Ding Mingde seemed to have already thought about what to say.

The butler looked back and forth at Shi Xuan and the others with his turbid eyes. Shi Xuan felt a chill, as if he was staring at him by some cold-blooded animal.

After a few breaths of silence, the butler spoke lightly: "Since he is Mr. Ding's friend and a guest from Shuanghu Village, he will naturally welcome him, and he is afraid that he will not be able to greet him well."

"I'm so disturbing, thank the butler first." Ding Mingde was secretly pushed by Yan Giant Sword and hurriedly expressed his gratitude, which was finalized.

The butler glanced at the three of them again, then turned halfway: "Three distinguished guests, I'll be with you. The road in the middle of the mountain is foggy and easy to get lost." Then he lifted the lantern and staggered towards the road ahead.
