Chapter 14: The Horror of the Valley
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Xiaofan has been in the house for three years, Ye Chen has been coming to Qingyunmen for sixteen years, ten years of refining weapons outside, and in the remaining six years, in addition to cultivating, Ye Chen is scurrying around in the back mountain, Ye Chen is looking for the soul rod in the valley, but after looking for so many years, he still hasn't found it, so he simply doesn't look for it. And Zhang Xiaofan has been enlightened and guided by Ye Chen, bringing Tian Buyi constant surprises, except for the first year when Tian Buyi saw Zhang Xiaofan's ugly face, the second year in the cold winter Zhang Xiaofan officially broke through the second layer of Taiji Xuanqing Dao, and in the third year, that is, now, Zhang Xiaofan broke through the third layer! And this year's breakthrough on the first floor, the shocked Lao Tian couldn't think about it, and often said: "Seeing that the seven-vein martial arts is coming, although the eighth does not have the talent of the seventh, but this year's breakthrough posture." If this is given a few years, how good it would be when Xiao Fan cultivated to the seventh or eighth layer of Yuqing! ”
But he was always told by Su Ru's mother that he was delusional, it was not enough to have a Ye Chen in the Shangqing Realm, and he also needed a Zhang Xiaofan of the seventh or eighth layer of Yuqing, and you still let other peaks live.
Ye Chen watched Zhang Xiaofan walk towards the back mountain with a firewood knife in his hand, nodded and looked at the old black in the courtyard: "Old Hei, go, follow Xiao Fan!" Call me for something! ”
Lao Hei nodded and hurriedly chased after Zhang Xiaofan! When Zhang Xiaofan saw Lao Hei coming up, he waved his hand to Ye Chen on the roof, and took Lao Hei into the mountains and forests!
Ye Chen took a sip of wine and said, "It is estimated that during this time, Xiao Fan should have met the dementor stick!" ”
Since Du Bishu came down the mountain, Da Zhufeng has lost its liveliness, and he is practicing all day long, and then he is staring at Tian Ling'er and Zhang Xiaofan to practice and play. None of the illegal traversers were found, and the Seven Veins would be martial soon, and Tian Buyi would not allow him to go down the mountain, hey~ This day, it's so boring! Ye Chen stretched his waist and was about to go to cultivation, and at this moment!
"Roar~Roar~Roar~"
A hurried roar rang out!
Ye Chen's face changed, and he said secretly: "It's not good! Immediately, he didn't even sacrifice the Zixiao Sword, and the whole person turned into a thunderbolt and rushed towards the back mountain!
And Song Daren, Wu Dayi, who was awakened by the roar of the old black, and Tian Buyi of the Shoujing Hall also walked out, looking at Ye Chen, who disappeared into a thunderbolt, the corners of Tian Buyi's mouth twitched: "This stinky boy, cultivation has improved again!" ”
Zhang Xiaofan came up to the mountain and came to the familiar bamboo forest, but when he saw that the mountains were verdant, layer upon layer, the mountain breeze passed by, and the bamboo sea rose and fell, like the waves of the sea, which was extremely spectacular, and his heart was suddenly wide, looking at the old black beside him.
He took a deep breath of the fresh mountain air, moved his body, and walked into the bamboo forest with a firewood knife. The place he went to was different from when he first came three years ago, it was in the deepest part of the bamboo forest, where there were large bamboos and the bamboo was even harder.
In the early morning, a light mist wafts through the forest, like a light veil, and the green bamboo leaves on both sides of the path are crystal dewdrops, which are beautiful and clear.
After walking for a while, you will be in the middle of the green sea, where most of the black knotted bamboos are towering, and the branches and leaves are luxuriant, reaching into the sky, and the light penetrates through the gaps in the branches and leaves, leaving shadows on the ground. Zhang Xiaofan looked left and right, picked a big black bamboo, compared it to painting, and raised his knife to cut, and Lao Hei was also lying not far from Zhang Xiaofan at this time and watched!
"Poof", there was a muffled sound suddenly, Zhang Xiaofan only felt a pain in his head, but he was hit on the forehead by an object. He looked down and saw a pine cone rolling on the ground. There are black knotted bamboos on the left and right in front of here, and there are many bamboo shoots, but there are absolutely no pine cones.
He thought for a moment, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, looked around, and said loudly: "Senior sister, is it you?" ”
His voice spread far away through the bamboo forest, but no one answered for a long time. Zhang Xiaofan knew that his senior sister had always been naughty and loved to play tricks on people, and was about to shout again, when suddenly his brain hurt again, and the pain was so great that he was thrown by a pine cone again, and above his head, there was also a scream of "squeak".
Zhang Xiaofan looked up in pain, and saw that on this black bamboo, there was a gray-haired monkey crawling at some point, holding a few pine cones in his hands, and his tail hanging upside down on the bamboo branches, "squeaking" squeaky laughter, with a gloating appearance.
Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a while, he had never seen a monkey in the bamboo forest in the past three years, and almost all of the bamboo forests on the big bamboo peak were bamboo forests, only there was a pine and cypress forest in the deep valley in the shade of the mountain, it seemed that this monkey was living there, and he didn't know how to run up the mountain today.
The big bamboo peak is tall and steep, although there is no Tongtian Peak higher than the clouds, but it also goes straight into the sea of clouds, climbs up from the foot of the mountain, there is almost no way to go, the disciples in the Qingyun Gate are mostly in the sky to come and go. Zhang Xiaofan's cultivation is shallow, in addition to cutting bamboo every day, he has also heard the senior brothers talk about it every day, the pine and cypress trees in the deep valley behind the big bamboo peak are forested, deep and unfathomable, and the people are inaccessible. Back then, the ancestor of the Great Bamboo Peak lineage had also been explored in the deep valley by the sword, but it was only a primeval forest, and there was nothing strange about it, but there were more fierce beasts and poisonous insects, but they never came out of the valley, so they had nothing to do with each other over the years.
He was thinking about it, when he suddenly saw the monkey's hand raised, his heart jumped, and he hurriedly moved away, and sure enough, another pine cone fell down, and if he didn't dodge, he would suffer again.
When the gray monkey saw him dodge, he screamed twice, and his face was angry, as if he blamed Zhang Xiaofan for not dodging.
Zhang Xiaofan made a grimace at the monkey, ignored it, and walked away, thinking that this monkey actually took pleasure in smashing people, but it was rare, it was really an ignorant beast. He took two steps, and suddenly heard the sound of the wind behind his ears, and he couldn't dodge.
"Poof", the back of the head was hit by a hard pine cone again, this time the force was not light, "Wow~ You stinky monkey, I'm going to give you some color today!" At this time, Zhang Xiaofan, who was already on the third floor of Yuqing, was furious, and stepped on the thunderbolt that the seventh senior brother taught him, and chased towards the gray monkey!
So in the deep valley, between the shadows of the trees, but seeing the gray shadow in front and Zhang Xiaofan behind, dangling around, chasing and running, Zhang Xiaofan was followed by a fire-filled old black!
After chasing for another half an hour, the gray monkey didn't know what kind of alien species it was, but it didn't show any signs of exhaustion, and it still fled quickly. But after such a long chase, Zhang Xiaofan has gradually become familiar with the method of shuttling through the forest, and he is getting closer and closer.
The gray monkey fled all the way to the depths of the valley, Zhang Xiaofan looked forward, only to see that the trees in front of him were thinning, and the light was shining through, vaguely a clearing, and there seemed to be the sound of water. At this time, the gray monkey's scream became more and more urgent, as if he couldn't imagine that this person would not give up after chasing for a long time, but he could not retreat, so he had to desperately flee forward.
Not long after, the eyes lit up, and sure enough, it was an open clearing, the ground was full of gravel, and there was a small blue pool in the middle, and the water was rippling, flowing westward. The gray monkey fled here, obviously hesitating, but the sound of breaking the air behind him came in the blink of an eye, and he had no choice but to fall to the ground and run forward again. But for some reason, its pace has become extremely slow, and it seems to be running for its life, and it is almost like a walk. Rao is so, it is still moving forward step by step.
Zhang Xiaofan saw it in his eyes, and his heart was strange, but while he wanted to quickly avoid obstacles, he wanted to pay attention to the monkey's tracks, and his whole mind was highly concentrated. Seeing that he was about to catch the monkey, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly made a "boom" in his head, his body shook twice involuntarily, and a feeling of nausea and vomiting rose from his five internal organs, rushing straight to his head, and his whole body trembled in a moment. Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback and at a loss, at this moment, the old black behind him woke up Zhang Xiaofan with a "roar", and his chest suddenly became hot, and a warm air spread out, protecting his heart, and then counteracting the nausea.
Zhang Xiaofan subconsciously looked at his chest and felt that the warmth came from the dark purple bead that Pu Zhi gave him.
Zhang Xiaofan looked around again, and saw that with the pool of clear water as the center, within three zhang, there was no grass, but outside the three zhang, there was a lush forest. And Lao Hei stood three feet away and stared at the waterhole with a full body of hair, he gritted his teeth, and forced to hold back the nausea in his heart from time to time and walked towards Lao Hei.
The distance of two zhang is not worth mentioning in normal times, but under the invasion of that disgusting feeling from time to time, it is extremely difficult to walk. It was not easy to get out of Sanzhang, Lao Hei bit Zhang Xiaofan's clothes belt, and pulled Zhang Xiaofan to a big pine tree, and the disgusting feeling disappeared immediately.
