Chapter Seventy-Four: The Old Man of the Barren Valley

The darkness obscured all the movement of the figures, and only a pair of eyes like ghosts of fire shimmered faintly in the forest, which looked a little crazy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoEspecially when Lu Chen walked back, the pair of ghost flames swooped over, making people's hearts tremble.

Lu Chen stretched out his hand to block the head of the dog stretched out by Ah Tu, who was shaking his head and tail in the dark, and said angrily: "I usually can't see it, you stupid dog is quite scary at night." ”

"Wang, Wang, Wang......" Ah Tu called in a low voice twice, as if he was a little proud, not ashamed but proud.

Lu Chen shook his head helplessly and said, "Let's go." ”

Under the cover of night, the figures of a man and a dog quietly disappeared in the darkness, like ghosts in this lonely mountain.

After descending Longshan, it was still late at night outside, and Lu Chen did not rush back to Crescent City immediately. In fact, at this time, Crescent City had already been closed, and if he didn't have the ability to fly in the sky, he wouldn't be able to enter the city even if he went back.

Lu Chen took Ah Tu to find a secluded place far away from Longshan, and then took out something from his arms, which was the same thing he had taken out from the cracks in the rocks and rocks in the mountains and forests before. At this moment, looking through the light of the faint starlight in the sky, it was a sealed letter.

Yellow paper, red wax seal, other than that, there are no marks or handwriting on the outside of the envelope.

Lu Chen looked at the envelope in his hand silently, and after a while, he tore open the seal with an expressionless face, took out a piece of stationery, and looked at it.

Of course, there were words on the letterhead, but there were only a few lines, and Lu Chen quickly read it. When he saw the last sentence of the letter, his face that had been very calm suddenly changed, it was a very strange change, not anger, not joy, as if it was a memory, all kinds of emotions came to his heart in an instant, crossed his eyes, his expression was so complicated at that moment, but in the end, everything finally returned to silence and silence.

"Hoo ......"

Suddenly, there was a soft sound, which startled Ah Tu, who was lying beside Lu Chen, and when he turned his head to look, he saw that Lu Chen lit a small fire fold in his hand, and then lit the letter along with the envelope.

The flames quickly swept up, engulfing the letter and burning, and the light of the fire illuminated Lu Chen's face in the darkness and reflected in the depths of his eyes.

After a while, he sighed softly and whispered, "The ghost is not gone!"

At dawn, when the first morning light had just fallen on the horizon, Lu Chen woke up, and then, without any hesitation or warning, he walked south with Ah Tu. Until the Yuehu Gorge appeared in front of his eyes, Lu Chen did not hesitate at all, and strode away like this, re-entering the land of confusion.

For returning to the old land, Ah Tu, the black dog, didn't seem to have much resistance, but looked very excited about this vast mountain world, running and jumping everywhere in front of and behind Lu Chen, smelling everywhere with a dog's nose, and finding several towering trees to pee by the way.

But no matter what, Ah Tu would never leave Lu Chen too far, and even followed him more closely than when he was in Crescent City, almost never leaving Lu Chen's sight.

One person and one dog walked all the way, and the route they took was the same as the road that Lu Chen took Yi Xin and others to Heijia Mountain that day, so on the second day, Lu Chen and Ah Tu once again stood at the fork in the road near Heijia Mountain.

Ah Tu stuck out his tongue, squatted on the ground, looked left and right, his expression seemed relatively calm, and there was no excitement about returning home, or the stupid dog couldn't remember that a place not far from here might be his hometown.

And Lu Chen glanced at Heijia Mountain in the distance, but he walked in the other direction with a faint face.

There, to the depths of the Lost Lands.

In the distance in that direction, there is a past buried in the years, full of blood, hatred and betrayal.

There is a barren valley there.

※※※

Lu Chen and Ah Tu arrived in the barren valley on the sixth day.

The dangers and hardships encountered along the way were far better than the experience in Heijia Mountain that day, and the demon beasts that infested on the way also quickly became stronger, especially the closer they got to the barren valley, the more powerful the various dangerous demon beasts became, and even the invisible signs of chaos of the five elements of spiritual power became much stronger.

Fortunately, Lu Chen seemed to be born to be particularly good at this kind of dangerous wandering between mountains and wilderness, and after avoiding fierce demon beasts and many strange dangers many times, he still came to the outside of the valley with Ah Tu.

The barren valley is a desperate valley surrounded by mountains, and only a narrow passage connects to the outside world, and there is a strange power in the barren valley since ancient times, so that all living beings cannot survive here, so it has the name of the barren valley.

Ten years ago, there were remnants of the Three Realms God Sect who did evil here, trying to make a big deal, but they were detected in advance by the True Immortal Alliance of the Righteous Path, and sent a large army to surround and annihilate them, sweeping away the ugly and evil demons, and making the atmosphere of the world clear.

Legend has it that in the past, the battle shook the earth, changed the color of the wind and clouds, the mountains shook the ground, and the demon cult suffered heavy casualties, but afterwards this place was so angry that ordinary monks could not approach the weaker ones, and it was rumored that the world was caused by the poisonous spell cast by the demon monk who died miserably that day. Anyway, this valley is already desolate, so after a long time, no one will come at all.

When Lu Chen walked up the narrow mountain road, looking at the somewhat familiar mountain terrain around him, there was still a trace of complexity in his eyes, but when he walked to the entrance that was about to enter the barren valley, he suddenly stopped.

On the hill next to the mountain road in my memory, there was a figure standing there at this moment.

The mountain wind blows, and the clothes are swept up, and the hunt flies.

Lu Chen was in a trance for a moment, as if he saw a handsome man dressed in white, but the illusion was fleeting, and what caught his eyes was a ...... standing in the wind Fatso.

"Hey!" the fat man stood on a high place, smiled and waved to Lu Chen, and shouted, "Long time no see." ”

Lu Chen crooked his mouth, watched the somewhat stupid old horse jump down from the hillock, sneered, and said, "Why aren't you dead yet?"

Lao Ma Zhengse said: "It's wrong for you to do this, everyone has known each other for a while, and has been a neighbor in a village for ten years, and you came up and asked me if I was dead, can this friend still do it?"

Lu Chen snorted and said, "If it's a friend, don't bother me." ”

The old horse shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile: "If it were me, of course I wouldn't have come to you, isn't there no way......"

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his face changed slightly, and said, "You mean ......?"

The old horse glanced at the valley behind him and whispered, "He's here too." ”

The corners of Lu Chen's eyes twitched slightly, and a trace of complex light passed through the depths of his eyes, and he stood in place silently.

Lao Ma looked at his expression, wanted to speak and stopped, and finally sighed lightly, patted Lu Chen's shoulder, and said, "Go in, he wants to see you." ”

Lu Chen bowed his head slightly, and then didn't say a word, and after being silent for a long time, he finally took a step forward and slowly walked into the barren valley that had been uninhabited for a long time.

The towering cliff was like a sharp sword reaching into the sky, covering the sky and the sun, leaving only a shadow on the earth, and Lu Chen quietly walked into the shadows again, gradually disappearing.
