"That night Madame was really a bad luck. About the monster was entangled by a large group of tigers and leopards, or after a fierce fight, it was almost dawn, and there was no real elephant trunk rushing, otherwise the lady was also very dangerous. As for our journey, there was no trace of the tiger and leopard, because many days have passed, and the traces left behind have long been washed away by the mountain rain, so it can be expected that the monster has not passed on this road since that day, because the birds and beasts on this road have long been extinct. But I can't think of any monster that's so powerful. ”

Li Kecheng was explained in detail by this leader, as if he had witnessed it, nodded again and again, and laughed: "Gou Bucai, you are really like a god, you are the Zhuge Lord of our Blue Lion City." ”

Gou Bucai hurriedly humbled a few words, but pointed to the west col and said: "We have been walking for two days unconsciously, please see, my lord, the sun has slowly slanted to the west." Since we know that there is such an unknown monster, and we can't find out where it is hiding for a while, we really need to be careful. Even if we have a place to stay tonight, we have to find a safe place early. ”

While the two were talking, they turned left and right between the heavy mountains and mountains, and walked another way, which was about dozens of miles away from Blue Lion City. The mountain in front of the horse gradually tightened, and came to a valley mouth. The rocks on both sides are steep, the wall stands thousands of timester, the valley is thick and shady, the pine waves roar, all are the pine forests that can be hugged by the towering earth, and the gloomy can not see the bottom of the valley. The mouth of the valley is eastward again, and the sunset in the west slants into the valley from behind the horse, reflecting on the pine forest with iron lin's beard, brilliant and mottled, the scene is very, and the place where the sun has not arrived, it is so gloomy and gloomy. Sometimes a gust of wind blows up at the mouth of the valley, and the trees shake their branches, as if grabbing and grabbing. The surging pine waves are also mixed with the sorrow of the mountain holes, sharp and poignant, swaying out from the bottom of the valley, which makes people listen to the creepy.

Gou Bucai lifted the reins of the horse, crossed Li Kecheng, turned the horse's head, raised his right arm, and said loudly: "My lord, the valley is not a good land, let's enter the valley slowly." When Li Kecheng arrived at the mouth of the valley, he was already suspicious, and after being stopped by the leader, he immediately issued an order to stop the people and horses from entering the valley, and sent two fine leaders to the valley first to find out whether there was a road at the bottom of the valley.

After a while, the two leaders reported: "The terrain in the valley is wide, and it is a large pine forest at the beginning. All the stalagmites that grow from the ground, the height is four or five zhang, and there are also stalagmites drilled and combined, accumulating into strange-shaped stone screens and stone barriers. Below, there are small springs flowing everywhere. After walking more than one stone, I still can't see the bottom clearly. It seems that the terrain in the valley is so wide that it may be a mountain gorge that can be traversed. Don't dare to delay, come out of the valley first and make a decision. ”

Li Kecheng frowned, and said to Gou Bucai: "Let's go into the valley and have a look." ”

Gou Bucai nodded and said, "Okay!" shrugged and jumped off the horse first. Because as soon as you enter the valley, there are dense layers of pine forests, and the flying Ke is dry, blocking the road and pulling clothes, and you can't ride it.

Li Kecheng also jumped off the horse, and a personal leader came over and led the horse on behalf of the two.

Gou Bucai pulled out a pair of steel-tired gold-wrapped lieutenant whips on his back, which were the only commemorative blades left to him by his father, and were taught by his uncle, Master Wuzhu. Over the years, he has spent a lot of hard work on this pair of blades, and at this moment, he pulled out the whip and walked into the valley first.

He walked all the way, paying attention everywhere, just now when he arrived outside the valley, he already suspected that there was something strange in the valley, I was afraid that Li Kecheng would be in danger and take the lead. In fact, Li Kecheng is also a heroic and sparse character, and he is not afraid to charge into battle, so why not be afraid of fierce beasts?

As soon as you enter the valley, there are pine forests, the branches and leaves on the top layer by layer, cover the light of the sky, and the sun has sunk to the west, it is particularly obscure, the leaves and branches under the forest are dying, the years are deep, the accumulation is higher and higher, and the mess is like a quagmire. After walking one foot high and one foot low, everyone walked through a large pine forest.

The terrain outside the forest is wider, and sure enough, there are countless stalagmites standing high and low on all sides, which are strange and strange, and the stalagmites that usually dot the round garden are very different. Most of the stalagmites are covered with a layer of green moss, although the terrain is wide, it is surrounded by thousands of rock barriers, blocking the setting sun in the west. There is also a kind of miasma like mist and smoke in the valley, floating and sinking among the stalagmites. At first glance, the strange-shaped stalagmites seemed to be pouring out of the ground with countless ghosts. At the foot of the stalagmite, a trickle of water flows, and silver snakes generally pass through.

Li Kecheng and Gou Bucai didn't care about this, commanded a team of people and horses, skewered in the stalagmite cracks, and hurriedly walked to the bottom of the valley. Gou Bucai accidentally jumped over a wide stream, where he landed, there was a large stalagmite with a drill peak that was more than ten zhang high and resembled a lotus canopy, blocking in front of him, the whole body was crystal white and snow-white, and the light could be seen.

Gou Bucai inadvertently held the stalagmite with his hand, and suddenly felt a hand of sticky salivation, and it was fishy and pungent. Gou Bucai sighed, leaned over, and quickly washed his hands on the stream, and did not say anything at that time, and hurriedly walked forward, the stalagmites gradually became clear, and a hundred fine springs converged into a clear stream.

The surface of the stream is only one zhang wide, twisting and turning, and seems to originate at the bottom of the valley. On both sides of the stream, there are all primitive ancient trees such as Zinan, which are huge and friendless, half dry and half luxuriant, and some of the trees are hollow, and they are the size of houses. Li Kecheng and Gou Bucai led a team of people and horses, and walked along the bank of the stream, and the current peak protruded, and the top was thin and green, and it seemed that it had reached the end of the valley bottom, but the sound of the stream was rushing like thunder, and the roar was ringing.

Li Kecheng and Gou Bucai rushed to the foot of the peak first to check. Originally, the valley is set in the valley, the place where the source of the stream is turbulent at the foot of the peak, the rock wall at the foot of the peak is suddenly opened, the shape resembles a heavy iron gate, from the peak waist below, it is absolutely like the portal that is artificially chiseled, and it is like a deep hole again. Although the entrance of the cave is two or three zhang open, it is mysterious and mysterious to look into, it is difficult to measure, and the wind in the cave is miserable, carrying a musty and wet smell, which is embarrassing. The entrance to the cave is full of abrupt rocks to the left and right, and there is no other path to take. By this time, the shadow of the sun had sunk, and the valley was getting darker and darker very quickly, and the scenery on all sides was blurred and difficult to discern.

Li Kecheng secretly thought that it was so dark in this deep cave, and it was getting late, if he rashly entered the cave, if he ran into a herd of fierce beasts, he would definitely die in vain! This place was far away from the valley mouth, and there was no way to withdraw again. After pondering for a long time, I was in a dilemma.

Li Kecheng was in a bit of a dilemma, and wanted to discuss a way with Gou Bucai, but seeing him patrolling back and forth under a few big trees on the south bank of the stream, as if looking for something, Li Kecheng hurried across the stream in a panic.

Li Kecheng originally stood on the north bank near the entrance of the cave, crossed the stream, had to pass through the hole, accidentally turned his head to look into the cave, and suddenly saw the extremely deep place in the cave, there were several clusters of starlight flickering and flickering, and looked closely, the starlight that flickered in the depths of the daring love actually moved up and down from a pair of pairs, and gradually expanded, it seemed to move towards the entrance of the cave, and faintly heard the snort.
