Following that, Chu Xuanchen asked Yang Fei to investigate the bandits' recent whereabouts.
Yang Fei quickly found out that the bandits had recently appeared in a place called Black Mountain.
"Black Mountain? Where is this mountain? What's the surrounding terrain like? "Chu Xuanchen asked.
"Black Mountain is very far from Yaoshan. It's a very remote mountain. The mountain is rugged and steep, and it's very dense. It's said that wild beasts run amok there, and it's very dangerous. There's also an ancient tomb that's been abandoned for thousands of years. Other than hunters, most people don't dare to go up the mountain. However, three months ago, the villagers near Black Mountain suddenly began to spread rumors that when they went hunting in the mountain, they discovered that the ancient tomb was haunted. They said that there were many ghosts in the ancient tomb, and the surroundings were filled with skeletons. It was very scary, so they didn't dare to go hunting in the mountain anymore. Other people's expressions also changed when they heard about it, so now no one dares to go near Black Mountain! "Yang Fei said.
"Haunted? Three months ago? Did the government send people to Black Mountain to investigate? "Chu Xuanchen asked doubtfully.
"No, it's haunted, and there are skeletons everywhere. Who dares to go!" Yang Fei said.
"Even the government doesn't dare to go?" Chu Xuanchen asked.
"Of course, the government officials are also ordinary people. They're also afraid of ghosts, so they don't dare to go to that damned place!" Yang Fei said.
Chu Xuanchen coldly narrowed his eyes. "Fine, then I'll go and see what's inside!"

After finding out the bandits' recent whereabouts, Chu Xuanchen asked Yang Fei to lead the way at noon the next day. He brought everyone to a nearby village about four li away from Black Mountain.
Once they reached the village, Feng Qin disguised herself as a village girl. She carried a cloth bag and walked towards Black Mountain alone.
Once she set off, Chu Xuanchen and Yang Fei hurriedly followed behind her. Yun Di led the rest of the group and followed far behind.
Along the way, Chu Xuanchen asked Yang Fei to scatter many small white stones on the ground for Yun Di and the rest to guide the way.
Soon, Feng Qin braved the cold wind and walked to the foot of Black Mountain.
As soon as she got there, she realized that the surroundings were very quiet. It was unusually quiet.
Looking from afar, the black mountain on the other side was very strange. There was a gloomy and terrifying aura all around. She stopped in her tracks and didn't dare to move forward.
At this moment, a burst of eerie and ghostly laughter suddenly came from all around. This laughter was sinister and creepy, and it made her hair stand on end. She was so frightened that she screamed and turned around to run back.
"Little beauty, where are you running to?" At this time, a few burly men with sabers suddenly jumped out from the surroundings. The moment they jumped out, they surrounded Feng Qin.
When Feng Qin saw this, a trace of craftiness flashed across her eyes, but her face had an appearance of being so frightened that her entire body was trembling. "You … Who are you? What do you want? "
"What do we want to do? Can't you tell? "
"Little beauty, don't you know that this place is very dangerous? A girl like you actually dares to come here alone! "
"Haha, Sixth Brother, look at the bag she's carrying. She's a foreigner, right? It was normal for outsiders not to know. Little miss, have you heard that there are many young girls going missing in Yong City recently? "
"You … You guys, so those missing young girls were all kidnapped by you guys. So you guys are bandits!" Feng Qin said fearfully.
"Hahaha, Sixth Brother, this little girl is not stupid! She even knows that we are bandits! "
"Girl, don't be afraid. When you come up the mountain with us, we will treat you well!"
After they finished speaking, they laughed complacently and surrounded Feng Qin.
