  "Brother Feng?" "Uh-huh." "You're really only in your twenties? I look at you and you seem like an old monster, with secrets hidden all over you."

  "Haha" the wind rose and laughed: "You're not the same, unfortunately you don't like to drink, or else I'd really be willing to have a drink with you until we're drunk. Those two brothers of yours are also very interesting, this outside world is wonderful, I really want to go out and travel with you guys."

  "Is someone blocking your way?"

  The wind rose and the clouds lifted their heads to look at the sky: "Beyond one's control."

  "Do you want to put it down or just look at yourself? Now that the world is at peace, clinging to those past restrictions and frameworks is afraid of being bound by your own feet."

  The wind and clouds rose, Shendao said: "Alright, I should go now. This side will be handed over to you. The mountain road is long and it's inevitable that some strange things will happen. I think you can handle it."

  Cha Wenbin also stood up and said: "Tonight, the planet Venus is slightly dim, the southern fire spirit dominates evil, it's the territory of the fire god Zhurong. I advise Brother Feng a sentence: Fire meets water then extinguishes, meets wind then wins."

  "Thanks for the reminder." Feng Qi Yun raised his fist in a gesture of respect, turned around and walked away along the mountain ridge, alone and empty-handed. He was so carefree. Zha Wenbin thought that if it weren't for his identity, this person would definitely become a close friend...

  Looking at the remaining embers in the bonfire, Cha Wenbin's worries grew even more. What he said earlier was not just nonsense. The Huo Xing he mentioned refers to Mars. Whether it is in Eastern astrology or Western star divination, this planet is considered a symbol of war and death. Chinese astrology has always believed that its appearance is the sign of the year's success or failure, controlling the fortunes of the imperial family, the emperor's rituals, major funerals, and calamities.

  Now this star suddenly appears in the south, the southern Vermilion Bird, the five elements belong to fire, Zha Wenbin only hopes that he can come back a little earlier.

  A person's plateau is desolate, the empty surroundings make him involuntarily tighten his clothes, and he suddenly hears someone behind him say, "Cold?"

  Turning back to look, it was Ye Qiu, his face still somewhat swollen, but his complexion wasn't bad, apparently he had woken up.

  "How was it? You should have come in earlier, that snake... is said to be very poisonous."

  "It was him who saved me." Ye Qiu's gaze looked into the distance, where the wind and clouds had just passed.

  Cha Wenbin comforted him: "Thanks to him too, it's cold outside, go in."

  Ye Qiu shook his head and said: "He's been sleeping all day, I wanted him to get up and move around a bit, how could you let him go alone?"

  Afraid he can't handle it?

  Ye Qiu added a piece of firewood to the bonfire and said, "My intuition is that he won't come back, I don't want to owe him."

  "Do you want to go too? But..." Cha Wenbin read the information from his eyes, Ye Qiu must have heard their previous conversation, and he thought that Feng Qi Yun's departure was extremely dangerous.

  "You stay, some things I'll go instead of you." His words were so light, yet Cha Wenbin was clearly looking at his body and couldn't say the reason in his heart for refusing him. There are some people, once they make a decision, they won't change it, and when they tell you, it's just to show respect for you, Ye Qiu is that kind of person.

  "How about I go with you?" asked Zha Wenbin tentatively.

  Ye Qiu poked his head into the tent and asked, "Is it suitable?"

  "What's wrong with you!" At this time, the fatty crawled out from inside, revealing a big white tooth and smiling: "You little guy makes a move and I know it, Old Two, you're not a good person, you've got injured and gone out for a stroll, leaving me to sleep in here, isn't that bullying your Fatty?"

  It's done, this living treasure is out and no one can persuade him to go back. Cha Wenbin said helplessly to Ye Qiu: "Why don't we just go together? Leave Jia San here, we'll come and go early, he's just a child after all."

  "This is the kind of talk I'd expect from Old Zhang. A man should do what a man's supposed to do. I found it strange that when I asked him about it during the day, he just pretended to be mysterious and wouldn't say anything, trying to make me dance around in circles. What scene hasn't Old Zhang seen before? I knew there was something fishy going on."

  Fatso had a high-powered flashlight in his hand, he didn't like walking at night, five or six of them were carrying it on their backs, with grenades hanging from their waists, and the sense of security was doubled. Ye Qiu was in front, Fatso was behind, and Cha Wenbin was bringing up the rear, they all said that going up the mountain was easy but coming down was difficult, but now it's the opposite. Coming down was very smooth because there were grains on the stones here, as long as you avoided those red sharp stones, rushing down was still quite fast.

  Because of a layer of mist, Pongzi's flashlight couldn't penetrate very far, so he kept paying attention to shining the light for Ye Qiu in front. As they walked, he felt like something was off, why did it seem like the footsteps behind him had disappeared?

  He turned around and found that Zhang Wenbin was nowhere to be seen!

  "Second brother, wait, Old Zhang is gone, I think he fell behind somewhere!" Fatso was only two or three meters away from Ye Qiu at this time. At this distance, with his loud voice shouting, even a sleeping pig would be woken up. But Ye Qiu seemed to have not heard anything and continued walking forward. This made Fatso anxious, and he shouted again: "Second brother, are you deaf? Old Zhang is gone!"

  Looking at Ye Qiu's figure continuing to move forward, Pangzi was anxious. At least Ye Qiu was still in his line of sight, but where was Cha Wenbin? He stomped his foot and turned around, wanting to go back and take a look, but after walking a few steps, he felt something was off. Why did Ye Qiu seem so concerned about Cha Wenbin? How could he have said nothing when he spoke to him? Did he really not hear him? As a seasoned Jianghu veteran, Pangzi immediately realized that this was no ordinary phenomenon. He thought of going to pull Ye Qiu back, but didn't want to wait for him to turn around and look again. Good guy, Ye Qiu had also disappeared!

  At this time, the mountain below suddenly started to rise again, and the fog was like a half-appeared god in the movie, "squeaking" from the soles of the feet, and quickly rising. Fatty felt that his hair was dripping with water in an instant, and he lost direction immediately. Fortunately, this slope is still clear up and down, old rivers and lakes are old rivers and lakes, now fatty is not confused, he took out a five-six gun and fired a shot upwards. In the middle of the night, the movement was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, too loud to hear.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, there was a response soon after, and before long he heard the voices of Cha Wenbin and Ye Qiu arriving one after another.

  "Fatty, what's going on! Where are you now?" "Where are your people? How come they all disappeared!"

  Fat boy distinguished Ye Qiu's voice from the sound, and he waved his hand with a strong flashlight and shouted loudly: "Your grandma's hammer second, I've been calling you for half a day!" Then he turned around and said to the back: "Cha Ye, how did you get lost? I'm right here, see?"

  "Where is it?" He heard Cha Wenbin shouting again in a daze.

  "Over here! Over here!" The fat man kept waving his flashlight, and at this time he heard Zhang Wenbin shouting to him: "Fatso, what's going on?"

  "Damn it, are you all deaf?! Lost! Lost!" he shouted loudly, his voice almost cracking. Then, seemingly Ye Qiu's voice asked again: "Where are your people? Why are they all lost?"

  These two! Fatso is also about to be driven mad, he hears the voices of those two people as if they are under his feet. He wonders if the two people have taken advantage of the thick fog and made their way to the riverbank. Yes, it's true that the mountain slope is now impassable, the best choice is to head down, anyway, just slide down with your hands stuck to the ground.

  "Fatso, what's going on!" Fatso heard Cha Wenbin still shouting over there and he also shouted back: "Alright, all of you stay there and don't move, I'll be right back with my flashlight." Today was really a tough day for Fatso. His thick palms were constantly rubbing against the stone, occasionally hitting that damned red rock which was as sharp as a knife, cutting his skin every time it touched him. Fatso could only keep kicking the ground with both feet, thinking to himself that as long as he didn't cut his own vital parts, he'd be fine.

  "Chubby, what's going on!" Zhang Wenbin's voice continued, with a hint of anxiety in his tone. Chubby was responding, but it seemed like the other person couldn't hear him. Thinking back to how Ye Qiu hadn't heard his own shouts earlier, Chubby was really at a loss. He sped up instead. His clothes and pants were ruined, torn and cut all over, but he stumbled and staggered down the mountain anyway.

  "Fatty!" Zhang Wenbin was still shouting at him, and he too became impatient, continuing to say: "Don't ask what's going on, I don't know what's going on either. Can you give me a fire to signal or something? I really can't see anything!"

  Following the direction of Cha Wenbin's shouting, Pangzi had already heard the sound of water. He estimated that at this time, he and Cha Wenbin were no more than ten meters apart. As long as Cha Wenbin didn't move, it was like playing a game of blind man's bluff, and even a child could find him. However, soon his flashlight saw a red glow in front of him, which must be Cha Wenbin lighting a match. Pangzi had more than once ridiculed him for being outdated, saying what era was this that someone still used those things? But Cha Wenbin said he was used to using matches.

  Seeing the signal, Fatso immediately waved his flashlight as well. Through the layers of fog, the red fire on the other side seemed to have moved a bit. Hey, this is good, so organized, Fatso carefully felt around for the stones under his feet. But just as he looked up again, he felt something was off, what was it?

  How did Cha Wenbin end up holding two lighters at the same time? Suddenly, Fatty discovered that next to the red one was another red one, and the red glow was illuminated by his flashlight. If he didn't shine it, he couldn't see anything, just a dark mess. At this moment, he stopped in his tracks, carefully inserted the flashlight into the sleeve of his jacket and shouted: "Old Cha, are you with Lao Er?"

  "Fatty!" This shout of "Fatty" was correct, it was indeed Zhao Wenbin's voice, but it was a bit softer, "What's going on?"

  Fatso slowly raised the five-six, gently pulled up the gun bolt, he kept staring at that red fire, a more and more uncomfortable feeling gradually rose to Fatso's heart, he said while slowly retreating backwards "I say, Cha Ye can't you ask another question, always this one, are you eager for me to make some trouble?"
