The two mountains and gorges are verdant and verdant, and the lush distant mountains can be seen from the gap in the middle, the red sunset hangs on the peak, and the large rouge clouds on the horizon dye everything with a hazy bright color, dragging the shadows of the two people and one tiger for a long time.

Xiao Yu walked through the mountain pass with Hua Yue with joy, and suddenly the front opened up, and a large flat and broad valley appeared, with bright streams and blue lakes, lush grass, colorful wildflowers everywhere, dense jungles next to it, and mountains in the distance.

The view is stunning.

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment of disappointment, as if talking to himself and as if to say to Hua Yue: "Do you have to go through this valley to get out?" ”

Hua Yue pondered for a moment, wrinkled her brows lightly, and said, "Judging from the topography of this valley, it seems that only the gorge that I came in just now can go out. ”

Xiao Yu blurted out in disbelief: "How come?!" ”

As Hua Yue said, not only did the two of them not leave Luofeng Mountain, but they walked in for another day, and there was no way out here!

How can this be?

Hua Yue thought for a while before saying: "The masters of this array have the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes, if it weren't for the fact that some of the trees in the array have withered over time, I wouldn't be able to find the formation gate, but I didn't expect to make a mistake in the end." I guess that the maze was set up to protect this valley, so there is a gate into the valley, and the exit of the dense forest should be somewhere else, but I can't crack it for a while. ”

Xiao Yu thought for a while and said, "The person who set up the formation should be in the valley, and the two of us will go to visit and ask him to show the way." ”

Hua Yue said: "I also have this intention, but the time set up by the maze array is extremely long, and the person who set up the formation must no longer be in the world, and I hope that there are descendants who know the formation to stay here." ”

Xiao Yu couldn't help but look at the dense forest in the distance.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the stone terraces in the forest that are higher than the tops of the trees are dyed a faint crimson, which is particularly eye-catching.

Such high-rise buildings are extremely rare nowadays.

Xiao Yu patted Huahua and asked him to take the two of them to find someone.

Entering the valley is a swamp, even if you walk on the side, it is easy to fall, so Xiao Yu rode on the back of Huahua's tiger, and Huayue followed.

The sky was getting darker, and the moonlight was like frost, sprinkled coldly.

The grass and reeds at the water's edge are almost a man high, like dark green waves stretching into the distance, and the air is filled with the fragrance of fragrant grass. The two walked by, occasionally startling snow-white gulls and herons, and hares scurrying by. There are many fireflies flying on the edge of the grass, and they are reflected in the clear water like stars.

"It's beautiful!"

Even if Xiao Yu was anxious in his heart, he couldn't help but be moved by this scene, and turned his head to remember that Hua Yue couldn't see it, and he was a little surprised, so he turned to talk about the formation.

"Young Master Yue, you said that the maze in the forest has been around for a long time, when was it laid out?"

"At least a thousand years ago, I think." Hua Yue said leisurely.

Xiao Yu couldn't help but marvel, such a long history can almost have changes in the vicissitudes of life, but this ancient formation still does not change, and it is still guarding this valley. She looked at the stone building in the distance again, and began to be full of curiosity and yearning for this trip, and then a question came to mind.

"After all this time, is the valley still inhabited?" Xiao Yu looked around with great eyes, although there was moonlight, he couldn't see it clearly.

Hua Yue said: "Then it depends on luck." ”

The autumn night is silent, you can hear the chirping of insects of different lengths, and the moonlight pours on the meadows, which is gentle and charming.

Huahua didn't take the two to the tall stone tower, but made a detour and turned towards the forest next to it. Although Xiao Yu was puzzled, he did not stop him.

Several wooden houses appeared in the forest ahead, and Flowey stopped in front of one of them.

Hua Yue listened carefully before saying, "May I ask if the master in the house is there?" The two of us strayed into the valley and couldn't find a way out, so we took the liberty of disturbing and hoping for the nobleman's guidance. ”

A weak old voice came from inside the house: "Who? ”

Hua Yue was stunned.

Xiao Yu listened to this like the dialect of his hometown in his previous life, which was a little close to slang, but it was also completely different, and it was even more different from Yayan, and it was estimated that Hua Yue couldn't understand it. It's just that she hasn't spoken for too long, and she is very rusty, so she spit out a few words for a while.

"Hello old man, how can I get out of this valley?"

Hua Yue really didn't understand this dialect, and when she heard Xiao Yu say something, she suddenly turned her head in surprise.

There was silence in the room for a long time, and the man said in a low and intermittent voice: "You can actually speak the words of the village? In that case, let's come in...... Ahem......"

A quick, but not very strong cough rang out, as if the man's days were numbered.

Xiao Yu and Hua Yue hesitated for a moment and pushed the door in.

The damp smell hit her head-on, Xiao Yu involuntarily covered her mouth and nose, and immediately felt that something was wrong, so she hurriedly removed her hand, took out the flint, and borrowed the moonlight to light the oil lamp on the table, so that she could see the situation inside. In a very simple and dilapidated room, there was an old woman lying on the bed, skinny, withered, looking like a dying tree, and the clothes were very special, completely different from the outside.

"You're from outside the mountain?" The old woman asked with a dying breath.

"Yes." Xiao Yu nodded.

The corners of the old woman's mouth twitched, and she said, "I don't know what's going on outside." Are you here for a treasure hunt? The world is too whimsical, if the people in the village knew about any treasure, they would have dug it up a long time ago, how could they wait for you to wait for outsiders to come in and look for it, cough cough ......"

Xiao Yu immediately checked her pulse, but found that the old woman had run out of oil, and she couldn't help but feel a little pity in her heart.

"Don't look at it, the old woman can't live for a few days, and she refuses to breathe until something happens, God opens her eyes, and she finds someone to come and bury my bones. I have lived for more than two hundred years, and it is time to be content, ahem. ”

With these words, the old woman's breath became more and more rapid.

"You speak slowly, don't be in such a hurry." Xiao Yu stretched out his hand to smooth it, and when he heard the second half of the sentence, he was shocked and couldn't help stopping.

"More than 200 years?!" Xiao Yu let out a low exhalation.

The old woman only coughed and said nothing.

Hua Yue didn't understand, twisted her brows slightly, and said, "The situation is not very good, did you ask her how to get out of the maze?" What's going on in this valley? ”

Although Xiao Yu felt that this move was a little unkind, he still inquired according to his words.

The old woman was not impressed, and tried to tell everything she knew, and was interrupted several times by a violent cough.

Xiao Yu only felt thrilled, not only because he couldn't bear to hear the old woman cough like this, but also because he was shocked by her intermittent narration, and it was difficult to come back to his senses for a long time.

After a while, Xiao Yu relayed these words to Hua Yue.

According to the old woman, the tribe that lived in this valley had a long heritage, dating back to ancient times, and the few words left by her ancestors still faintly mentioned that their clan was the legacy of the immortal assistant to the king, and they did not know why they lived here.

The stone tower in the dense forest over there is the temple built by the sages.

However, as time went on, most of the books of history were damaged and scattered, and the temple was abandoned. (To be continued.) )
