Virtuous Chapter 4: A Strange Land

Wen Yin raised his head slightly and said, "Master, senior sister is also a last resort. She's not easy either. ”

Zhao Ning looked at her and smiled with satisfaction: "It's hard for you to be so considerate at your young age." Your senior sister hasn't hurt you in vain all these years. Xiao Yin, you look weak and obedient, but you are actually a soft person on the outside and strong on the inside, and a smart person in ice and snow. I am relieved that the Sacred Valley is in your hands. ”

"Master......"

"Alright, you don't have to guard me. Do what you have to do. I don't have much to teach you now. Our master-apprentice fate can be regarded as a good beginning and a good end. ”

“……”

Wen Yin silently lowered his head and knelt for a moment before he got up and retreated, closing the door for Zhao Ning with his own hands.

The many disciples kneeling outside raised their heads one after another, and someone asked, "Little junior sister, ...... master?"

Wen Yin glanced at everyone and said, "What should you do, do what you need to do." ”

When the people heard this, look at me, I will look at you.

Wen Yin said again: "The life span is fixed. ”

The meaning of the words was clear, and everyone heard it clearly, so no one said anything more, nodded their heads, and dispersed.

Before midnight that day, Zhao Ning slept peacefully. At that time, Wen Yin had been guarding the bedside.

The next day, Zhao Ning was simply buried according to the rules of the Holy Valley, and on the morning of the third day, Wen Yin succeeded to the position of the Lord of the Holy Valley, but for some reasons, she clearly stated that she was not allowed to declare that Zhao Ning had died, let alone mention her existence in the valley.

Wen Yin was a closed disciple that Zhao Ning later accepted in private, and outsiders did not know about it except for the people in the Holy Valley. Therefore, since then, people have always thought that Hua Nu is Zhao Ning's only closed disciple, and they don't know that Zhao Ning has passed away, and Wen Yin is the new Sacred Valley Lord.

Since taking the position of the valley master, Wen Yin's responsibilities have become more and more, first of all, she has to arrange the affairs of the valley first, secondly, she has to entertain several people who are close to the valley in the outside world, and finally, she herself has to move around the rivers and lakes to understand the affairs of the rivers and lakes.

The Holy Valley is a relatively special existence in the rivers and lakes, and unlike the lonely faction, the obedience of the lonely faction lies in the fact that there is only one person in the sect but there are thousands of tentacles in the rivers and lakes. As for the Sacred Valley, although there are many disciples, it is a lonely existence, neither participating in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, nor having anything to do with other sects, but it is famous in the rivers and lakes because of the name of the legend of medical skills, and there is no one in the rivers and lakes who does not sell the face of the Sacred Valley. Therefore, many times, many unknown secrets of the rivers and lakes, the Sacred Valley is the earliest and deepest known. And this is due to the fact that everyone in the door, especially the valley owner, walks around in the rivers and lakes.

On this day, Wen Yin was taking a nap, and Xiaoqing hurriedly walked in from outside with this note.

"Miss, there's an invitation here."

Wen Yin frowned slightly, and slowly opened his eyes to look at her: "Where did you come from?" ”

Xiaoqing shook her head: "I don't know. There's a scary pattern written on it. ”

"Pattern?" Wen Yin felt strange and stretched out his hand: "Show it to me." ”

Xiao Qing hurriedly handed over the note, and this pattern was drawn on it, like a bull's head, but it was like a horse's face, put together together, both strange and hideous, but it really looked like a bull's head and horse face that came up from hell to lock the soul.

This pattern Zhao Ning had shown her in the past and left a very deep impression on her.

In this world, there is only one person who will use this pattern as a symbol, a dragon ghost.

There are actually two factions in the rivers and lakes, one is on the Ming Road, which is what people often call the rivers and lakes today, which are visible and well-known, what sects, what characters, what martial arts paths, etc., everything is known. And the other faction is on the underworld, commonly known as the underground rivers and lakes, that is, they can't see the light, they are seemingly non-existent, there are very few people who know their existence, they are invisible, ghostly, maybe secretly do a lot of things that cause blood, but no one has ever known this.

And this dragon ghost is the king of this underground rivers and lakes, and the underground rivers and lakes represented by him are all where the cow ghosts and snake gods are.

Wen Yin looked at this pattern and frowned slightly.

She once heard Zhao Ning mention this dragon ghost, it is said that he is a big devil who kills people without blinking, don't look at him as unknown, but every move can turn the entire rivers and lakes upside down, and with a move of his fingers, he can cause a cruel killing.

Zhao Ning said that wherever he went, it would be a hell Shura field.

A person that even the master is unwilling to deal with, does she have the ability to deal with it?

Xiaoqing looked at her face and asked uneasily, "Miss, what's wrong?" Will something bad happen? ”

Wen Yin looked at Xiaoqing, afraid that she would be worried, so he didn't tell her the details, but said, "Get ready, we're going out." ”

"Out of the house?" Xiaoqing became excited, in the past two years, Wen Yin has also gone out to see people one after another, and there are countless places she has been to, Xiaoqing has also gained a lot of knowledge, and now when she heard that she was going out, she couldn't help but be excited, and hurriedly asked: "Miss, where are we going this time?" ”

Wen Yin's eyes were deep, and he said, "Hell." ”

Xiaoqing's face was stunned: "Little, Miss, what are you talking about?" ”

Wen Yin smiled: "Don't be nervous, I'll tease you." The place we went to this time was not far away, in Linzhou. ”

"Linzhou?" Xiaoqing immediately became excited again: "That's a good place!" I heard that it is one of the most prosperous ancient cities in the south of the Yangtze River! Miss, who are we going to see this time? ”

"Lord Hades."

Wen Yin responded.

Xiaoqing's face was stunned again, and then she sighed helplessly: "Miss, don't joke about such a serious matter, okay?" ”

Wen Yin asked puzzledly, "I'm not joking with you now." Xiaoqing, we're really going to see Hades this time. ”

“……”

Xiao Qinghu looked at her face suspiciously, it stands to reason that although her own young lady occasionally jokes, she didn't see her make a joke and look so serious, I don't know why, Xiao Qing suddenly felt that something was not quite right, and she was vaguely unstable in her heart.

Seeing her slightly apprehensive look, Wen Yin got up with a smile and said, "Okay." Don't worry. Although that person is a bit difficult to deal with, it doesn't mean that we will suffer anything. Just walk and see. ”

Xiaoqing's face changed slightly, what does Miss mean by this? What's not easy to deal with, what's the pain? I don't know why, but the uneasiness in my heart is getting stronger.

However, no matter how uneasy you are, the scheduled itinerary still has to go.

The next day, Wen Yin took Xiaoqing and set off for Linzhou.

After about ten days, they arrived in Linzhou smoothly, but when they were at the gate of the city, two mysterious figures stopped their carriage and said that they would take them to meet people in person.

Xiaoqing didn't follow it at first, but Wen Yin answered directly.

"Miss, why did you promise them? What if they are bad people of unknown origin? ”

Wen Yin smiled and said, "Don't worry." I'm not going to follow the bad guys. ”

"But Miss ......"

Xiaoqing wanted to say something, Wen Yin put his index finger on his lips and motioned for Xiaoqing to shut up.

“……”

Wen Yin smiled: "I know what you're worried about. Trust me, it's going to be fine. ”

Xiaoqing looked at her serious appearance, so she had to sigh and say, "Since you said so, Miss, of course, you have to listen to Miss." ”

Wen Yin smiled, suddenly lowered his head, and took out a gauze scarf from his sleeve.

Xiaoqing watched in confusion as she covered the lower part of her face with a scarf, pinning the corners to her hair.

"Miss, what are you doing?"

"Next, we have to go to the clinic frequently, and we come into contact with special people big and small in the rivers and lakes. It is better not to show your true face in the future. ”

Xiaoqing nodded: "What Miss said is, lest anyone look at Miss in the future and cause trouble for Miss." Miss, do I have to disguise myself too? ”

Wen Yin smiled: "It's okay for you. Someone has to prove my identity. ”

Xiaoqing was puzzled at first, and then realized: "Oh...... Miss means that although everyone will not know your true face in the future, Miss, as long as you see me, you can prove that the woman next to me is Miss herself? ”

"Clever."

After receiving the compliment, Xiaoqing raised her eyebrows proudly: "Who made me Miss's maid, how can I be stupid." ”

Seeing her so proud, Wen Yin smiled and said nothing.

Soon, the carriage came to a screeching halt.

A voice came from outside: "The Lord of the Sacred Valley has arrived. ”

Then, a slight movement was heard, and immediately afterward, an old woman's voice came: "Please get out of the car." ”

Wen Yin and Xiaoqing glanced at each other, and Xiaoqing asked, "Miss, what now?" ”

"Go down."

Xiaoqing nodded, got up and pushed open the car door, gave way to the side, and Wen Yin walked out first.

As soon as I went out, I saw that the two mysterious men were gone, and in their place were all women, and the two columns were standing in two rows of young maids, but standing at the front was an old woman, although she looked old, but she was dressed very neatly and capably, and she was very spiritual.

As soon as the old woman saw Wen Yin, her eyes were very sharp: "I haven't seen you for a while, but I didn't expect the valley lord of the Holy Valley to rejuvenate and become so young." ”

Wen Yin got off the carriage indifferently, glanced at the old woman, and said with a smile: "This must be Meng Po, right?" When we first met, I was the new valley lord of the Sacred Valley, Wen Yin. ”

"The new valley master?" Meng Po's eyes froze: "Then the Lord of Zhao Gu is ......"

"Not long ago, the master had already driven the crane west."

Meng Po's expression slowly eased, and nodded thoughtfully: "I just think what she said last time was a little strange, I see." ”

Wen Yin was stunned, not understanding what Meng Po's words meant.

Before she could ask, Meng Po looked up at her and said, "However, the new valley lord looks too young. ”

There is a sense of doubt in this statement.

Wen Yin heard it, and he didn't get angry, and said with a smile: "Although I am still young, since my master is willing to hand over this burden to me, presumably, what I have is more than just the trait of being young." ”

Hearing her words, Meng Po looked at her with a deeper gaze, and then smiled: "Indeed." Zhao Gu Lord has always had a vision for people, presumably since she made such a decision, she must have her own reasons. It's just that our master has always taken some time to get to know you, the new lord of the Sacred Valley. ”

Wen Yin smiled and nodded: "Each other." ”

Meng Po smiled, turned sideways, bowed slightly, and said, "Lord Wengu, please inside." ”

Wen Yin nodded and went in according to his words.

Meng Po led the way on the side,

This is a somewhat strange courtyard, and it looks no different from the general gate from the outside, but when you go inside, you will suddenly feel a cold aura, and the further you go inside, the stronger this feeling becomes. This is like a deep house, walking and walking, Wen Yin feels that the terrain seems to be going down, and the environment is getting darker and darker, and the surrounding buildings are also black, outlining strange and terrifying graphics and carvings. At first glance, it really has a bit of hellish atmosphere.

Xiaoqing was still very calm, but the more she walked to the back, the more scared she became, and she subconsciously approached Wen Yin a few points, her face turned pale.

Meng Po noticed, glanced at Xiaoqing with a smile, and said, "This Xiaoqing girl doesn't seem to be a little used to the atmosphere inside us. Why don't you wait outside? ”

"No, no. I'm with our young lady! ”

Although Xiaoqing was afraid, she was not at ease to let Wen Yin face these terrible scenes alone, and rejected Meng Po's proposal as if she were going home.

Meng Po thought it was interesting and said with a smile: "It's a good girl who protects the master." ”

As she spoke, she turned to look at Wen Yin, and saw that she was fearless, although the veil covered the lower half of her face, but an indifferent smile could be seen in the eyes exposed above, so tranquil and beautiful, as if all this in front of her was not a scary hell scene at all, but a beautiful fairyland on earth.

Meng Po couldn't help but look at Wen Yin a little differently: "Lord Wengu is very calm." ”

Wen Yin smiled: "I can't wait to meet the owner of this house." ”

The smile in Meng Po's eyes became even worse: "I think that our master and the master of Wengu may get along very well." ”

As he spoke, he continued to point the way on the side and asked Wen Yin to turn left.

Under the guidance of Meng Po, Wen Yin and Xiaoqing turned left and right, and after walking for a long time, they came to a garden, which was full of flowers and trees, but the trees were full of dead leaves, the grass was weeds, and most of the flowers were wilted. The strangest thing is that there are many, many small mounds in this garden, on which there are wooden signs, like tombstones, but there are no words. From time to time, the wind blew, a little cold, and the surrounding atmosphere was bleak and eerie.

Xiaoqing was already trembling with fright, and grabbed Wen Yin's cuffs tightly.

Wen Yin gently patted the back of her hand to soothe her.

Meng Po smiled and turned her head to look inside, and said, "Master, the Lord of the Sacred Valley has arrived. ”

“……”

There is no echo inside.

Meng Po called again: "Master, are you taking a nap?" ”

After a while, a voice finally came: "When did the Sacred Valley change the valley owner?" ”
