Changbai Mountain, named after many white pumice stones and snow, is known as "thousands of years of snow and 10,000-year-old pine, straight to the first peak in the world".

Changbai Mountain is a place with the reputation of "sacred mountain, holy water, Qilin, fairy fruit", etc., and is also the birthplace of the Manchus, and has the reputation of "holy land" in the Qing Dynasty.

Changbai Mountain is one of the top ten famous mountains in China, in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" called Buxian Mountain, the Northern Wei Dynasty called Tu Taishan, the Tang Dynasty called Taibai Mountain, Liaojin has the name of Changbai Mountain.

In the depths of the sparsely populated Changbai Mountain, there is a valley like a fairyland on earth, in which batches of purple bamboos are planted, and a trace of morning mist covers the lake in the center of the valley, which makes the wooden houses on the lake also add a lot of color.

At this time, thousands of birds and birds suddenly appeared in the purple bamboo forest, and there were nearly hundreds of people wearing white clothes and iron masks in the bamboo forest, moving and jumping towards the wooden houses in the lake.

The people in white came to the lake one after another, knelt down on one knee together, shook their hands, and sang respectfully: "Welcome to the master!"

The wooden door of the wooden house opened, and a white shadow walked on the waves, standing on the shore, but it turned out to be a ghost-faced man in white.

"The head of the family has an order, and the ten elders are sent to see him!"

Immediately the men in white departed. After a while, the Ten Elders and the white-clothed ghost-faced man went to the wooden house in the lake.

"I'll wait to meet the master!" the ten elders waved in unison to the head who had their backs to them.

Ying Taoguang turned around, looked around, and said loudly: "I asked you to wait today, because there is something important to discuss." ”

The Great Elder immediately spoke: "Just as the head of the sect commands. ”

"Let me ask you, in this world, is there still a place for me to dominate the family?"

The Great Elder looked at his face: "Back to the master, the times have changed, and the vertical and horizontal academics of my Zongheng family are indeed almost useless. ”

"In this case, I want to enter the depths of the Ghost Valley!"

As soon as these words came out, the ten elders were shocked.

"Master, this is inappropriate!"

The Great Elder was straightforward. Ying Taoguang looked at him deeply: "Why?"

"Boss, in the depths of the Ghost Valley, it is extremely dangerous. I know that you want to find the other half of "Vertical and Horizontal Martial Arts" that Wang Chan Lao Zu placed in the depths. But the head of the family is not allowed to take risks!"

"I have attained the highest level recorded in the first half, and there is no way to enter. Anyway, I've got it in mind. Now it's just a matter of informing you!"

"In addition, pass on my order that the position of head of the family will be inherited by one of the ten elders. I'm stepping down as head of the house today!"

When the elders saw that Ying Taoguang had made up his mind, they bowed down one after another: "Congratulations to the master!

Three days later, deep in the Valley of Ghosts.

Ying Taoguang was panting, the original white clothes were now in tatters, and although his upright body had been opened with a few wounds, he was a little strong.

"In the depths of this ghost valley, it really lives up to its reputation. With my current strength, it's hard to move an inch here......"

A violent beast roar sounded from behind him, Ying Taoguang's face changed, and he immediately puffed up his qi machine and quickly jumped on the tall trees around him, and quickly fled forward by borrowing his strength.

A two-meter-tall giant tiger jumped out of the jungle behind and quickly chased after Ying Taoguang.

Ying Taoguang secretly complained in his heart, this giant tiger's physical strength was too strong, he had chased and killed him for almost two days, and he had never seen this beast rest, he knew that this was the case, he should not have jumped over the tree above his head at that time, but was noticed by this beast and chased and killed until now.

After running for a while, Ying Taoguang suddenly found that he had reached the end of the Ghost Valley, with a cliff in front of him, and the fierce tiger behind him was getting closer and closer. The heart became more and more urgent, looking for a way out, and found that there was a big hole in the cliff wall nearly ten meters high, and the heart was determined, and quickly jumped to the top of the tree, and finally jumped into the cave before the tiger arrived. The giant tiger circled under the cliff for a while, and saw that Ying Taoguang could not come out of the cave, so he lay on the ground, staring at the entrance of the cave with a pair of tiger eyes, full of bloodthirstiness.

Ying Taoguang rested on the ground for a while, poked his head out of the cave, and saw that the giant tiger was still under the cliff, so he couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, and turned his head to look into the dark depths of the cave with interest.

"Looks like I have to go in. ”

Tick, tick, tick.

The sound of water droplets falling on the bluestone and splashing was particularly noticeable in this empty and silent cave, and Ying Taoguang naturally lowered his hands and walked step by step in the direction where the sound of water came, walking very lightly and slowly, to ensure that he could launch the most violent attack at the moment when danger came.

The result was beyond Ying Taoguang's expectations. waited until Ying Taoguang walked to this stream that had been forced up by drops of water over the years, and did not encounter all kinds of ambushes that Ying Taoguang envisioned.

Ying Taoguang glanced around with a pair of sharp eyes, and when he found that there didn't seem to be anything abnormal, his brows furrowed, and he quickly stretched out.

According to calculations, the other half of "Vertical and Horizontal Martial Arts" is in it. There's no need to rush, anyway, you can't escape from the palm of my hand!"

Ying Taoguang continued to walk deeper. This time, he was not in a hurry, picked up two round pebbles from the ground, and kept coiling them with his right hand, with a leisurely expression, and a smile flashed in his eyes when he walked through the blind corner of this cave......

After a while, Ying Taoguang's footsteps gradually faded away, until when it completely disappeared, a white-haired monkey actually came out of the bottom of the stream!

The white-haired little monkey squeaked a few times, and after making sure that he didn't hear Ying Taoguang's footsteps walking back, he plunged into the water again. When he came back to his head, his hands tightly held a bamboo slip wrapped in a thick tarpaulin.

Bang, bang, bang, bang,

"Yes, yes, a little white-haired monkey is so psychic. So, little monkey, would you like to give me the bamboo slips in your hand? As long as I have something, I can exchange it. Ying Taoguang's eyes flashed with interest.

The little monkey completely ignored Taoguang's words, and fled to the depths of the cave with the bamboo slip in his hand on his chest.

Ying Taoguang smiled: "I just walked that road." ”

Sure enough, when Ying Taoguang walked over slowly, the little monkey had been tied to his legs by a simple trap made by Ying Taoguang with the torn clothes belt, and was squeaking and hurriedly untying the clothes tied to his feet with his paws, and the bamboo slip fell to the side.

Ying Taoguang picked up the bamboo slip with a smile, and casually scratched the belt torn from the special clothes in Guigu. The clothes belt broke directly, and the little monkey was also scared and squeaked away.

Ying Taoguang didn't chase it, but opened the bamboo slip and took a look, only to see that the first piece of bamboo was engraved with "The Lower Part of Vertical and Horizontal Martial Arts"

Ying Taoguang quickly looked at the bamboo slips, and after making sure that he had memorized them completely, he put the bamboo slips on his chest and sighed: "It's good to remember this point, take the bamboo slips back to other people to practice, after all, I'm too lazy to teach!" ”

Ying Taoguang didn't realize that the bamboo slip on his chest was close to his chest wound that had not healed, and it emitted a faint purple light, and the wound kept gushing blood and was absorbed by the bamboo slip.

When Ying Taoguang was about to leave the mouth of the cave, he quickly stretched out his head and found that although the giant tiger was still under the cliff, it had already crouched down to rest.

Ying Taoguang's eyes narrowed, and he quickly puffed up his qi, jumped onto the big tree behind the giant tiger, and didn't look back, just ran for his life.

Sure enough, a beast roar sounded, and the giant tiger quickly chased after Ying Taoguang.

And as Ying Taoguang puffed up his qi, the blood in his chest seemed to flow faster and faster.

......

"Huh, huh, it's finally almost to the Ghost Valley Bamboo Forest, damn it, why are you so dizzy in the first two days?" Ying Tao's bare face was bloodless, and he was chased by the giant tiger for two more days, and he finally arrived home!

Just as he was about to shout for someone to come out to greet him, Ying Taoguang suddenly saw darkness in front of him and fell to the ground.

In front of him, he could vaguely see that several Guigu disciples had arrived, and Ying Taoguang noticed the rapid passage of life in his body, and smiled bitterly.

"Dying on your doorstep is such an interesting burial place......

"Damn, I haven't finished the second half of "Vertical and Horizontal Martial Arts" yet......"

Finally, Ying Taoguang's eyes fell into darkness.
