The surrounding trees are pitch black and hard, I don't know what kind of strange tree species, even the leaves are black, and these trees are about the same height and size, dense places can not even be drilled through, the valley is flanked by unclimbable cliffs, there are no streams and no wind, a qiē lifeless, full of weirdness.

Wang Baoyu used the dragon slaying knife to mark the tree as he walked, and with the power of the dragon slaying knife, it was as easy as cutting tofu, but cutting on this kind of tree was almost the feeling of cutting tofu skin.

That is, Wang Baoyu's dragon slaying knife is indestructible, and it is not easy for ordinary weapons to leave traces on this kind of tree, but the situation is still not optimistic, and the marks are done every once in a while, but Wang Baoyu urged the horse to turn around several times in the bushes along the forest path, and the result will turn back to the same place every time, which is clearly a labyrinth.

After wandering around for a morning, Wang Baoyu finally saw some doorways, and the shapes of these paths were clearly designed according to the shape and direction of the Bagua map. Then, only by entering the middle ground can it be possible to find the way out.

How can I get into the middle ground? Wang Baoyu used his brain, based on his knowledge of the Book of Changes, to conclude that only the Kun hexagram was unimpeded, and the Kun hexagram was in the southwest.

Judging by the occasional sunlight in the woods, Wang Baoyu set the right direction, went straight to the southwest, and then from the southwest to the northeast, passing through the piles of trees, and suddenly opened up in front of him, the trees disappeared, and a low hill appeared.

The hill is surrounded by a dark backwater, on which a stone bridge is erected, and above the hill there are several low thatched huts that appear to be inhabited.

Wang Baoyu cautiously urged the horse to the stone bridge, and looked down from the bridge, but felt that it was dark in front of him, and he almost fell into the water. This black water is so weird, the black is unfathomable, as if it wants to suck people's souls into it.

Not only people, but even Xiao Tianma, shaking his head and walking diagonally, Wang Baoyu's hands and feet were weak, and he couldn't make a sound, and even his consciousness began to blur, and he quickly took out a square towel stained with awakening water and smelled it, and his mind became clear, and he shook it under Xiao Tianma's nose, and Xiao Tianma shook the horse's head violently a few times, and then began to walk in a straight line again.

A man and a horse all knew the Yan zhòng of the situation, but they didn't dare to look down anymore, and hurriedly crossed the small bridge.

Coming to the largest thatched hut in the middle, Wang Baoyu got off his horse and walked in slowly. At this moment, he was sleepy, tired and hungry, and what he hoped most was to find something to eat.

The grass hut was cleaned up, and on a desk at the entrance, Wang Baoyu found some boiled potatoes, I don't know how many days they had been shelved, and they were dry and slag, but they were so hungry that they drooled when they saw what they were eating.

Wang Baoyu unceremoniously ate several in one go, and drank several scoops of water, and then perked up and entered the back room, but was startled by the scene in front of him.

On a specially made wide and high bed lies one, a polar bear!

Wang Baoyu's first reaction was to run away, but as soon as he stepped out of the door with his front foot, he felt that something was wrong, how could there be a polar bear here, he must be too tired to see the wrong one.

Wang Baoyu turned his head, rubbed his eyes, and took two steps closer to take a look, and when he saw it clearly, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Lying on the bed was a short and fat old man! weighed more than 300 pounds, and was lying motionless on the bed, with gray hairy hair covered by a quilt, and the length was still more than the foot, piled up on the soles of the feet. The beard was also more than two feet, the fat face was tender and white, there were no eyebrows, and the eyelids were large, looking at least sixty years old.

On the table in the corner of the room, some ancient books were thrown messily, and a short knife hung on the wall. The most striking thing was a wooden box not far from the head of the bed, and because the contents were so full, the lid was half-open and half-closed, revealing only yellow gold.

The fat old man was so quiet that he didn't make a sound, and he didn't know if he was dead or asleep. Wang Baoyu leaned over to take a closer look, and saw that he was asleep, and his complexion was also very good, but he couldn't feel a trace of breath.

Based on Wang Baoyu's experience, this fat old man has probably entered some kind of cultivation realm, and it seems that he is not a mortal, he didn't dare to disturb, moved a small wooden pier and sat down against the wall.

From yesterday morning to now, Wang Baoyu has not closed his eyes at all except for the moment when he was in a coma, and as soon as he relaxed, drowsiness came surgingly, and he soon fell asleep against the wall.

When Wang Baoyu woke up, it was already dusk, and the fat old man also woke up, sitting on the bed bloated, blinking his little eyes, and looking at him with an incredible look.

Although these eyes are small, they are black and white, blazing, and full of wisdom to see clearly, Wang Baoyu did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "Old immortal, if you strayed into this place, there is a lot of disturbance!" ”

"How did you get in?" The fat old man asked with a strange expression.

"It's a maze of gossip outside, but I've learned a little bit about it. I can't get out, I can only come in. Wang Baoyu scratched his head embarrassedly.

"It's extraordinary to be able to solve the mystery of my plate." The fat old man couldn't help but praise one.

"Dare to ask the old immortal Gao's name?" Wang Baoyu asked politely.

"The old man's surname is Lou Mingzibo, and the Taoist dream hermit." The old man said.

Wang Baoyu searched in his mind for a long time, and seemed to have no impression, and asked again: "Dare to ask Gao Shou?" ”

Lou Zibo waved his hand and said, "I don't remember!" ”

"Old immortal, my name is Wang Baoyu, and I am Cao Cao's military advisor." Wang Baoyu introduced himself.

"Cao Cao? What does it have to do with that Cao Di? ”

Cao Di? That's going to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period! Wang Baoyu smiled: "It doesn't matter, Cao Cao is the prime minister of the dynasty." ”

"Prime Minister Cao? I don't know who it is! Lou Zibo shook his head, he was not impressed, and based on this, he might have been here for at least a few decades.

"Old fairy, you should always know Yu Ji, right?" Wang Baoyu asked unwillingly.

"Yu Ji?"

"Well, it looks like he's a hundred years old."

"Oh, I remember. When he was young, I used to see it, and it was good, and he was a good material for cultivation. Lou Zibo nodded.

Wang Baoyu was completely dizzy, how old is this person, but he looks much younger than Yu Ji, and it seems that his cultivation is far above Ji.

Wang Baoyu couldn't find a topic for a while, the two of them stared at each other like this, Lou Zibo coughed, and said: "This is the Hidden Valley, which is called the Valley of Death by the outside world, and I once wrote that those who enter the valley will die, how dare you enter?" ”
