Chapter 225 Big Event
A yawning voice suddenly came from the room.
Fang Zhixing's heart trembled and his expression suddenly became tense.
There was a creaking sound.
Wang Jiayun opened the door.
At this moment, her hair was naturally scattered, with pajamas draped over her shoulders, and her appearance in the swaying oil lamp added a hazy beauty.
She looked at Fang Zhixing, her eyes flickering, wanting to smile but shyly, and said softly: "Hero, it's so late, do you have any instructions?"
Fang Zhixing's complexion had returned to normal, and he smiled faintly, "It's nothing serious. I see the sky is a little cloudy, and I feel it might rain tomorrow. I want to tell you that if it rains heavily tomorrow, we won't leave for the time being."
Wang Jiayun hummed and nodded, "The roads are slippery and muddy in the rain, and it's really hard to walk on."
As he was talking, a head popped out. It was none other than Little Axe. He looked up at the night sky and asked curiously, "Is it raining?"
Fang Zhixing was surprised and asked, "Little Axe, didn't I open a room for you? Why are you here?"
Little Axe chuckled and said, "I want to sleep in the same room with my sister."
Wang Jiayun smiled helplessly and said, "He insisted on getting into my room, and I couldn't stop him."
Seeing this, Fang Zhixing responded, "I'm glad you don't mind. I'll go back to my room first."
He turned and walked away into the next room.
The little dog got up from the bed.
In the darkness, he saw Fang Zhixing walk in and sit down on a chair, propping up his chin with one hand. He looked like he was lost in thought and it was impossible to see the expression on his face clearly.
Xigou couldn't help but ask in a voice transmission: "How is it going? Did you find any information?"
Fang Zhixing pondered for a moment, sorted out what Xue Bohua had said, and told his story in detail.
"What the hell?!"
After hearing this, Xigou was shocked and said in amazement: "Can that little axe fulfill any wish? It turns out that it is a wish-making machine!"
Fang Zhixing snorted coldly, "More like a demon. From what Xue Bohua said, no one who made a wish to Little Axe had a good ending."
The little dog jumped off the bed and walked back and forth in front of Fang Zhixing, looking very excited.
After a long time, he sent a voice message: "What are your plans?"
Fang Zhixing raised his lips slightly and asked, "Do you have an idea?"
Xigou stopped and squatted in front of Fang Zhixing, saying seriously: "If the small axe is really a wish-making machine, you can definitely take advantage of it. For example, you can ask others to make a wish to the small axe, and you can keep the benefits for yourself, and let others bear the consequences."
Fang Zhixing was speechless and said, "You are such a sinister idea, it's amazing that you could come up with it."
Xigou Lian said: "Let go of your personal qualities and enjoy your immoral life.
For example, if you want to complete condition 6 and witness the birth of a restricted area, this task is too difficult and you have no idea where to start.
But now you can just find someone, give him some money, and ask him to go find the hatchet and make a wish. "
Fang Zhixing raised his lips and said disdainfully: "Then, I can also help you make a wish, such as turning you into a human, right?"
The dog dodged a glance, shook his ears, and said with a wry smile: "If Little Axe really has that ability, why not give it a try?"
Fang Zhixing was silent for a moment, then said sternly, "The existence of the Little Axe is completely beyond our understanding. My attitude towards such things has always been to stay as far away from them as possible and never provoke them."
The dog was not happy and shouted, "Where is your adventurous spirit? When facing unknown things, you always try to get in touch with them. Isn't this your usual attitude?"
Fang Zhixing shook his head and said, "The unknown I'm talking about doesn't include wish-making demons like Little Axe."
Xigou was speechless. He just felt that Fang Zhixing was too cowardly and timid. He shouted, "You are a cheater, what are you afraid of? As long as you do a few more experiments and find a few more people to try the axe, you should be able to find out his details soon. Then it won't be too late to decide how to deal with him."
Fang Zhixing said decisively: "I am timid and cowardly, unlike you who still have eleven lives and can do whatever you want. If you want to provoke Little Axe, I won't stop you, but I will run away tonight."
"What, escape?"
Xigou was confused. Suddenly he shuddered and smacked his lips and said, "Are you going to abandon Wang Jiayun?"
Fang Zhixing stood up and sneered, "What kind of brain does Wang Jiayun have? Do you need to worry about her?"
Xigou was puzzled and asked, "I can understand that you want to run away, but Wang Jiayun didn't do anything wrong, why do you hate her so much?"
Fang Zhixing tightened his lips and said in a cold voice: "Wang Jiayun is a smart person. She should know clearly how strange Little Axe is. But she frivolously let Little Axe into the room and slept with Little Axe."
Upon hearing this, Xigou immediately realized that there was something wrong with Wang Jiayun.
If it were him, he would never dare to let the small axe into the room and sleep with her.
How big a heart does this have to be? Also, along the way, Wang Jiayun's performance was a bit too mature.
Logically speaking, she was just a rich lady in Blackrock Town, but whether she was driving the carriage or doing other things, she did not show any temper of a rich lady.
In short, it was bizarre! Not to mention, the person Xiaofutou was harassing was Wang Jiayun, not Fang Zhixing.
Therefore, if Fang Zhixing wanted to get rid of Xiao Axe, getting rid of Wang Jiayun was the inevitable choice.
Suddenly it was late at night and everyone was asleep.
Fang Zhixing and Xigou walked out of the room quietly and left the inn quickly.
There were two boxes left in his room, which were the treasures given by Wang Jiayun, and a farewell letter.
I don’t want money.
Fang Zhixing felt that it was a bit hard to earn the money Wang Jiayun was making, so he simply gave up trying.
The man and the dog walked through the streets and alleys, crossed the county town, and finally climbed over the city wall and left the county town calmly.
They walked along the official road and traveled through the night.
The dark dawn passed, and a hint of paleness appeared on the horizon.
A big mountain appeared ahead.
Fang Zhixing took out a map from his arms and spread it out.
This was the latest map he bought in the county town, and the route was marked in great detail.
"This mountain is called 'Nanping Mountain'. It is a natural barrier standing to the south of the county town."
Fang Zhixing quickly found his exact location on the map and said thoughtfully, "Cross Nanping Mountain and walk another two or three hundred miles south, and you will reach Zhuosha River. After crossing that river, you will be able to leave Xiahe County."
The little dog listened carefully and replied, "If we only calculate by the distance, it's not very far."
Fang Zhixing analyzed: "I asked around and found out that all the ferry crossings on the Zhuosha River have been controlled by the rebel army. I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult to cross the river."
Xigou said indifferently: "The rebels are just a bunch of rabble, they can't stop someone like you who is at the Ninth Bull Realm."
Fang Zhixing doesn't think so. The rebels may be a mob at the bottom, but there are definitely capable people at the top.
The fact that the traitor Tan Lang was able to retreat safely from Qinghe County is enough to prove that his strength should not be underestimated.
"Well, let's take a break first."
Fang Zhixing sat down under a big tree, took out some dry food and started eating.
Xigou also ate a third-grade top-quality meat pill, so his food was actually better.
From the perspective of raising him alone, Fang Zhixing had never treated him unfairly.
“Huh?!”
After a moment, the thin dog suddenly raised its head, pricked up its ears, and looked towards the Nanping Mountain.
"What's wrong?"
Upon seeing this, Fang Zhixing also looked over there, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink.
Then I saw black smoke rising from Nanping Mountain and faint flashes of fire.
The thin dog transmitted the message: "I heard a wolf howling. It is most likely the wolf of the wolf cavalry."
Fang Zhixing could not help but frowned and asked in surprise: "Is there a war going on on Nanping Mountain?"
The thin dog scratched his throat and said anxiously, "There are a lot of wolves howling, more than one, which makes me want to howl too."
Upon seeing this, Fang Zhixing took out the dog leash and tied the thin dog's mouth without saying a word.
"Woo woo~"
The thin dog widened its eyes and glared at Fang Zhixing, expressing its dissatisfaction and protest.
Fang Zhixing ignored him and just said, "Let's go over and take a look at the situation first."
The man and the dog left the official road, walked through the woods, and ran to the foot of the mountain.
From a distance, they smelled a burning smell coming towards them.
Fang Zhixing tiptoed to the top of a big tree and looked around.
It was a terrible sight. There was a raging fire on Nanping Mountain, with trees burning in large tracts, accompanied by billowing thick smoke that was choking even from a long distance away.
"Fang Zhixing, there are footsteps!"
The thin dog suddenly sent a voice message to remind him that he had heard something while lying on the ground.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Fang Zhixing focused his gaze and soon discovered a figure swaying at the foot of the mountain.
I saw wolf riders in armor swooping down from the mountain and gathering at the foot of the mountain.
Looking at the situation, it looks like they have suffered a defeat and are retreating in a hurry.
Fang Zhixing jumped down from the tree with a somewhat uncertain expression on his face.
The thin dog asked, "Why, there is no way to go?"
Fang Zhixing nodded and said, "The fire is burning the mountain. I don't know how long it will last."
Xigou thought so too. Once a wildfire starts, it will never end and may even burn for several months.
There's no way the two of them could cross a wildfire; they're not strong enough to do that.
Furthermore, even if they were not afraid of fire, once they entered the wildfire area, their vision would be obstructed by the thick smoke and they would inevitably run around like headless flies.
This road is blocked! The dog couldn't help but ask, "Is there any other route?"
Fang Zhixing took out the map and studied it again, then said thoughtfully, "If we go west, we can also bypass Nanping Mountain, but we have to pass through at least three counties, and it may take us one or two months to travel."
Xigou was unwilling to do this any longer and complained, "Those three counties must have been captured by the rebels a long time ago..."
While they were communicating with each other's minds, suddenly there was a sound of disordered footsteps.
The man and the dog quickly hid.
Soon, a group of wolf cavalry came galloping from a distance.
They did not take the main road, but chose to walk through the woods.
This group of wolf cavalry consisted of more than twenty people, divided into two groups.
The wave in front ran past quickly without any stopping.
There were two wolves walking slowly behind.
The two cavalrymen riding on the wolves had brighter armor and were more muscular, and they were suspected to be the leaders of this group.
They walked and talked, oblivious to the people around them.
"Brother, I didn't expect the rebels to have the guts to attack Nanping Mountain. Do they think Nanping Mountain is so easy to climb?"
"Haha, this fire is great. It can stop 100,000 rebels and at least kill 30,000 of them."
"Well, the rebels are just a bunch of rabble. How can they be compared to our wolf cavalry? After a few rounds of charging, we killed them to pieces and made them flee all over the mountain."
"Yes, if the county governor hadn't issued an urgent order for us to call off the troops, we could have destroyed those 100,000 rebels in one fell swoop."
"Alas, what a pity! Why did the county governor suddenly order a retreat? We were clearly on the verge of a great victory!"
"I don't know, but..."
The two cavalrymen exchanged words with each other.
At this point, the elder brother looked around and lowered his voice and said, "I heard that something big is going to happen on Nanping Mountain. If we don't retreat, everyone will die on the mountain."
Another little brother's face changed drastically, and he asked curiously: "Oh, what's the big deal?"
The eldest brother shook his head and said, "They are very tight-lipped. Anyway, this is a very big event, and it only happens once in a hundred years."
The younger brother couldn't help but look back and said excitedly: "How about we stay and take a look?"
The eldest brother said, "Don't make trouble. The county governor has ordered us to return immediately and not to stay any longer."
After saying this, he squeezed his legs together and the wolf immediately ran wildly.
After a gust of wind, the two wolf riders disappeared into the woods.
More than a hundred meters away, Fang Zhixing and Xigou walked out and couldn't help but look at each other.
"What's going on?"
The thin dog stared towards Nanping Mountain with wide eyes, feeling puzzled.
Fang Zhixing hesitated for a moment and sighed, "Let's go back the same way."
The dog said speechlessly: "No way, going back to the county town?"
"Um."
Fang Zhixing took a deep breath and said, "It looks like we can't take this road to Nanping Mountain anymore."
They had no choice but to turn around and walk back, walking more than ten miles in the woods before turning onto the official road.
As he was walking, he came towards an old bald monk wearing a patchwork robe, with a shiny head, a string of Buddhist beads around his neck, and a wine gourd in his hand.
"Oh, isn't that it?!"
Fang Zhixing's whole body tensed up and his heart skipped a beat.
The dog was surprised and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Fang Zhixing replied: "That man is an evil monk who broke his vows."
Xigou paused for a moment and exclaimed in astonishment: "Ah, why is he also in Xiahe County?"
The evil monk who broke his precepts is a strong man who dares to challenge the three Nine Ox Realm masters, and he has an extremely strange temper.
Fang Zhixing once "died" at the hands of an evil monk who broke his precepts.
The dog asked, "Shall we run away?"
"It's too late."
Fang Zhixing quickly rejected the idea, "When I saw the evil monk who broke his precepts, he must have seen me as well. If we suddenly run away, it will only arouse his suspicion."
Xigou took a deep breath and said, "What should we do then?"
Fang Zhixing said, "Stay calm and walk normally. I hope he won't notice us."
The thin dog lowered his head slightly and didn't dare to look up at anyone.
The two sides gradually shortened the distance, thirty meters, twenty meters, ten meters.
The evil monk who broke his precepts glanced over at him, but Fang Zhixing didn't even look away.
"Haha, my friends are here, why are we going back?"
Suddenly, the evil monk who broke his precepts stopped walking, put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Aren't you here to see how the forbidden area was created?"

I went to the hospital today and am in very bad condition. The next chapter will be very late, so I'll read it tomorrow.
