Chapter 50: Exploring the Valley in the Mist
"Miss, and Young Master Shangguan, how are your injuries?" the old man asked with concern as he looked around.
"I'm just a little out of strength, Brother Long, he ......"
"I'm fine, I've already killed that man. Shangguan Zhengtian held the girl in his arms, and he didn't want to let go even if he struggled, "Now I'm tired of Li Bo taking care of the surroundings, and I'm ...... with Hongdou"
Without taking Guan Zhengtian to finish speaking, the old man smiled and retreated.
The snow was stained with red blood, and it was extremely dazzling. After the old man left, the two were not in a hurry to heal, Shangguan Zhengtian looked at the blood stains on the ground and said, "Hongdou, you and Li Bo will go back later, I'll go to the valley, and I'll look for you when I come out."
"Hmph, I don't like people in the way, so I want to drive them away, don't you?" Zhou Xiaoxiao pursed his lips and looked aggrieved.
"You know I didn't mean that. ”
"Brother Long, do you know what I'm most afraid of?"
"Huh?"
"In the Soul Eater Array, I saw you, but no matter how I chased you, I couldn't catch up, and finally watched you die in front of me but couldn't get close. My greatest fear is not death, but not being able to face danger with you. ”
Shangguan Zhengtian looked at the girl in his arms and was silent for a long time, he wanted to refuse but couldn't find a reason, and finally said: "Okay, let's go together, but you have to be obedient." ”
"Come less, you have to be obedient, every time you hear the news of the miracle medicine, you can't give up, and you don't want your life. The sadness on the girl's face vanished instantly, and she writhed in Shangguan Zhengtian's arms: "Let go of me, Uncle Li's divine sense has been paying attention here." ”
"Red Bean, are you using a forbidden technique?" Shangguan Zhengtian let go of the girl, and the two stood opposite each other, Shangguan Zhengtian caressed the girl's forehead with ointment, Xu was in pain, causing the girl to frown frequently.
"Still talk about me, what's the matter with your eyes?" As soon as the ointment was applied, Zhou Xiaoxiao slapped Shangguan Zhengtian's hand away and looked at his closed eyes with a straight face.
"It'll be fine in a few days. Shangguan Zhengtian replied with a glance.
Zhou Xiaoxiao looked at the stupid appearance of the person in front of him, rolled his eyes and glared at Shangguan Zhengtian.
"Brother Long, Uncle Li is guarding by the side, let's recuperate first. ”
"Good. ”
On the snow, the two of them sat cross-legged on the ground, each taking a pill, and closed their eyes to luck.
The stars are moving, and a day and night are fleeting. The snow didn't stop, masking the signs of yesterday's fight. When Zhou Xiaoxiao opened his eyes, he was white, and when he opened his aura slightly, he saw another snowman beside him.
"Do you want to add a dragon horn to Brother Long?" Zhou Xiaoxiao tilted his head and muttered to himself.
"Miss, don't mess around. The old man surnamed Li, who came over at some point, grabbed Zhou Xiaoxiao, "Young Master Shangguan is making a breakthrough at this moment, so I can't disturb him." ”
The girl was slightly stunned when she heard this, and couldn't help but feel much lighter in her steps, and stood beside Li Bo and said worriedly: "Brother Long, he just made a breakthrough a few days ago, and now he has broken through again, will the foundation be unstable?"
Li Bo laughed silently: "Miss, you really care about it, how can the Shangguan family's exercises have an unstable foundation since they were introduced?"
"But if you improve too quickly, your mood will also be affected, right?" the girl still frowned.
"Miss, don't worry, Young Master Shangguan is so talented, why should you have such concerns. By the way, what happened here before, and who dared to provoke the Zhou family and the Shangguan family?"
Glancing at Shangguan Zhengtian, who was on the verge of breaking through, Zhou Xiaoxiao sorted out his thoughts a little, and then talked about the previous things in detail, but hid the forbidden art from talking about it.
The old man was silent for a while, and finally spoke: "Miss, although the Zhou family's forbidden technique can improve its power for a while, it will affect its own foundation, and everyone in the Zhou family knows this. ”
The girl knew that she couldn't hide it, so she stuck out her tongue and didn't speak.
"This bottle of divine essence is the old man's family, and the young lady should not suffer a loss in the next test in the clan. The old man took out a jade bottle from his bosom and handed it to the girl.
"Thank you, Uncle Li, I know that Uncle Li loves Xiaoxiao the most. The girl hugged Li Bo and shook it.
"The old bones are falling apart. ”
"Li Bo must live a long life, where is he old now?"
At this time, the snow around Shangguan Zhengtian slowly dispersed, and the aura around his body slowly gathered above his head, and a golden dragon shadow rose to the sky, hovering in mid-air, hovering rapidly, stirring up the wind and snow.
The dragon shadow raised his head and was about to roar, and Shangguan Zhengtian below was already standing up, and with a wave of his hand, the dragon shadow instantly dissipated without a shadow.
"Brother Long, how are your eyes?"
"It's all right, don't worry. Shangguan Zhengtian's eyes were bright, and a dragon-shaped shadow swam in the depths of his eyes.
"I had bothered with it before. When Shangguan Zhengtian broke through, he noticed a few wisps of aura fluctuations in the distance, and they disappeared in a flash, thinking that there were a few people in the distance who had been secretly disposed of by the old man in front of him.
"Young Master Shangguan is polite. The young lady told me about the previous incident, and the old man thought of a few strange things recently. ”
"How many strange things?" Shangguan Zhengtian wondered.
"It is also recently, Tang Bufan, the third son of the Luo family, Meng Shu of the Meng family, etc., all the young generations who are famous outside the world have this experience, and these inexplicable powerhouses are all difficult to find. ”
"Someone uses this to deduce the strength of the forces in the southern soil, and use this to provoke chaos?" Shangguan Zhengtian was awe-inspiring, and his voice couldn't help but grow cold.
"No one has such courage, this sudden appearance of inexplicable forces has attracted the attention of many sects, if they make any big moves, I am afraid it will cause indignation. However, how much of this struggle has made the parties have an explanation for the strength and weakness of the younger generation. ”
"Oh?" Shangguan Zhengtian couldn't help but bow his head and think, and then said: "If the potential of the inheritor of the second-class forces is greater than that of the first-class forces, it will inevitably attract the hostility of the surrounding forces, and there is no need to make any big moves, just a little inducement, or it may be able to influence the situation on one side." ”
"Haha, Young Master Shangguan can see it clearly. But then again, those who have such courage here will not be so petty, and those who can exist in the world, from the powerful and invincible Sword Mountain to the small forces that do not enter the stream, have something extraordinary, how can they not see this clearly? Although they can't figure out the thoughts of this force, there is one thing that can be seen clearly. Li Bo's eyes became softer and softer when he looked at Shangguan Zhengtian.
"I don't know what Li Bo is referring to?" Shangguan Zhengtian was puzzled.
"This action is not big, but it is not small, many forces are paying attention, and even the best disciples sent out of the door are hoping to become famous in a fight. However, there is such a person now, and no one can reach the limelight, not to mention whether it is a blessing or a curse for the time being, the name of this first person has also fallen. ”
"Then who is the most powerful now?" asked Zhou Xiaoxiao.
"The eldest son of the Tang family, Tang Bufan. I heard that the person who turned into a virtual realm forced Tang Bufan to use his sword and killed Miss Tang, who expected to be killed by Tang Bufan with a sword. Li Bo sighed, followed by a long sigh. "In addition, there is one more thing. ”
"What's the matter?" Seeing that Li Bo's expression turned solemn, the two couldn't help but look right.
"A few days ago, an arithmetic master in the clan died violently, and there was an unfulfilled arithmetic plan left in front of him. The arithmetic was already old and frail, and the arithmetic was easily sent by heaven, but no one cared too much about it, and the half of the arithmetic chip was also put away. Who knows, another teller died that night, and the half of the hexagram left in front of him was also the same half. This matter attracted the attention of the clan, and in the end, at the cost of more than ten arithmetics, only one sentence was obtained. Li Bo paused, glanced at the clear sky, and suppressed some voice: "There will be chaos." ”
The clear sky suddenly exploded, and even Zhou Xiaoxiao and Shangguan Zhengtian took a sharp breath of cold air.
The three of them were silent for a while, and then Li Bo spoke: "The Zhou family is taking precautions at the moment to prepare for trouble, and I also took the time to come here." If the young lady does not want to return to the clan, she will bother the young master Shangguan to take care of one or two. ”
"There is no need for Uncle Li to advise, Hongdou and I have a marriage contract, and I will protect her thoroughly. ”
"Okay, the old man will go first. Miss, if you have nothing to do, return to the clan earlier. Li Bo glanced at Zhou Xiaoxiao and turned to leave.
"Lieber, you have to be more careful. Zhou Xiaoxiao shouted.
"Red Bean, let's go. "The previous vision lingered in Shangguan Zhengtian's heart, like a dark cloud, which made people extremely uneasy, and at this moment Shangguan Zhengtian only wanted to go early and return early.
"Do you want to go back to Shangguan's house?" asked Zhou Xiaoxiao.
"It's okay, instead of worrying about the family, it's better to focus on the present. Let's go. ”
The road was unobstructed, the forests and mountains continued to sweep back, and a line of light footprints spread over the snow until it was invisible, and was soon covered again.
An ordinary town sits in front of it, and a man and a woman walk slowly towards the town.
"Brother Long, why don't you go over directly?" Zhou Xiaoxiao's gaze stopped at the back of the town, where he couldn't really see it, but both of them knew that the valley where they found the ice jade was there.
"Don't rush this moment, adjust your state first. And the town is close to the valley, so you may find something. ”
The town is very ordinary, and walking in it, you don't need the two of you to deliberately sense it to know that there are no cultivators in it.
"Why do you feel that the aura has become thinner?" Zhou Xiaoxiao frowned.
Shangguan Zhengtian didn't say anything, he sensed it carefully, and then said, "Be careful." ”
The town is really not big, but the shops on the street are also complete, and Shangguan Zhengtian picked a tavern with a lot of family and walked in.
"You're not from the neighborhood. Xiao Er quickly walked over.
"Not bad. I heard that there is a treasure in the valley behind, so come and have a look. "Shangguan Zhengtian went straight in.
Xiao Er showed that it was really like this, and said: "It's true that there is a treasure in the valley, but ......" Xiao Er paused and stopped talking.
Shangguan Zhengtian took out a silver ingot and put it on the table, the little second suddenly opened his eyebrows, looked left and right, and hurriedly put the silver ingot into his waist, and this time continued: "That valley is evil, you just heard that there is a treasure, but I don't know how many people have died there in the past few years!"
"How many years?" Shangguan Zhengtian wondered.
"Yes, it's been a few years. When I was a child, I often went to the valley to graze, but for some reason, the cattle and sheep did not want to come close, and in the following years, many people died in it, and now no one dares to go there. ”
"No one dared to go, and as far as I know, there were people who came out of it some time ago. Shangguan Zhengtian lit the table.
"This young master, you don't need to frame the small ones, the small ones won't talk nonsense, you go to the street and ask casually, that valley is occupied by an immortal family, and no one can approach it now. ”
Shangguan Zhengtian and Zhou Xiaoxiao glanced at each other and continued to ask, "How long have they been here?"
"It's been a few days, I'm afraid it's been half a month. ”
"Well, just grab some food. ”
After Xiao Er left, Zhou Xiaoxiao suppressed his voice and said, "Brother Long, do you think the news of this Ice Jade Heart is fake?"
"Whether it's true or not, it's worth a visit. ”
After only a little food was eaten at the table, the two of them had already left, leaving Xiao Er who shook his head at the dining table.
