Chapter 41: The Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations

When the group arrived at the Sword Lake Palace, it was still the same as when Wu Xi left, the door was open, and there was silence inside. Wu Xi asked the coachman to park the carriage outside, and walked in with the three of them with the package.

"Who? Is it Brother Wu? Zhong Ling heard their footsteps and ran out of the martial arts training hall.

"It's me" Wu Xi responded, avoiding Zhong Ling's panic due to the inconsistent number of footsteps.

Seeing him, Zhong Ling smiled sweetly and said, "You're back!" "The big eyes were bent into crescents, and I was very happy. walked in front of Wu Xi with small steps, and held his hand affectionately, like a pair of little lovers in love. Immediately, she also saw Mu Wanqing behind Wu Xi, and said in surprise: "Sister Mu, why are you here?" As for the coachman and the cold-faced man, they naturally ignored it directly.

"I can come if I like, what's your business?" Mu Wanqing saw that she was so close to Wu Xi, she was inexplicably a little angry, and she was not angry when she spoke.

"Oh" Zhong Ling was a little afraid of her, Sister Mu, and she didn't dare to speak anymore when she was fierce, and her timid appearance was also extremely cute. When he showed it to Wu Xi, he couldn't help but smile, touched her hair, and asked, "Is he still in it?"

"Well, he never woke up." Zhong Ling said. Wu Xi walked inside, and several people hurriedly followed. All the violent things on the ground have been cleaned up by Zhong Ling, Wu Xi glanced at her, and she returned a bright smile. Wu Xi also smiled and walked to the place where Duan Yu was lying, Zhong Ling used a few stools to build a hospital bed for him, and several people could smell the smell of him from a long distance.

When he got closer, the thick layer on his body was full of blood scabs, as if he hadn't taken a bath for decades, but fortunately, all the children present were some children of the rivers and lakes, and no one felt disgusting or anything.

Wu Xi examined him, took some herbs from the package and rubbed them for him roughly, and then took out the cloth and divided it by two and wrapped him in a mummy. The few people on the side of this novel treatment were all dumbfounded, and there was a feeling that even though they didn't know what they were doing, they felt like they were powerful.

Zhong Ling asked curiously, "Brother Wu, what are you doing?" ”

"These herbs can prevent his injuries from worsening, and if you want to take him away later, there will be bumps on the way, so tie him up with a cloth so that these herbs don't shake off." Wu Xi patiently explained.

"Brother Wu, you are so careful." Zhong Ling looked at Wu Xi who was doing things in a daze, and said with some intoxication. Wu Xi turned his head to look at her, revealing a sunny smile.

After wrapping up Duan Yu, Wu Xi asked the coachman to carry Duan Yu on his back and asked him to put Duan Yu on the carriage.

"Brother Wu, where are we going next?" Zhong Ling, who had been following him all the time, asked.

"Next, I'm going back to Da Song, you can go with me, okay?" Wu Xi asked as he looked into Zhong Ling's eyes and looked directly at her.

"Ah, oh, good... Okay..."Hearing this, Zhong Ling didn't know what he thought, and whispered with a little blushing.

Wu Xi smiled, reached out and pinched her small nose, and then said, "But before that, we still need to settle this wounded person first."

"Well... I don't know who he is......" Zhong Ling played with his hair, frowned and thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said, "It's better to put him in my house, our house is quite close to here."

"Well, so be it." Wu Xi thinks this method is good, it saves time and effort, although he wants to befriend this Duan Yu who is favored by fate, but it is impossible to serve him all the time like a wet nurse.

No one else objected, Mu Wanqing thought that he had made an appointment with the master to meet in the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations if it was safe, and the cold-faced man's task was to be optimistic about Mu Wanqing and Wu Xi, but there were no requirements for the specific destination, and the coachman naturally listened to the employer.

So since there was no objection, the group went to the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations again. Duan Yu was in the carriage, the coachman was in the front of the carriage, the cold-faced man had his own horse, and the remaining three people only had two horses to travel.

Of course, none of the three wanted to stay in that cramped carriage with the stinking mummy, so there must have been two people riding together.

Wu Xi's personality is not so cold now, and seeing this, he took the opportunity to invite Zhong Ling to ride with him in a very personable manner, but it made Zhong Ling blush and heartbeat.

It's a pity that Zhong Ling was just about to agree to him and was disturbed by Mu Wanqing, and the well-behaved Zhong Ling naturally couldn't resist the spicy Mu Wanqing, so he had to ride with her after scolding her a few words. Wu Xi was of course a little disappointed when he saw this, but he didn't force it.

The purpose of going to Zhong Ling's house, naturally Zhong Ling led the way, she did not take them directly to the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations, but first went to a Zhuangzi, this Zhuangzi is also her family's property, and there are many servants and maids of her family living in the village.

Wu Xi settled the coachman's wages and told him to leave, and Duan Yu was naturally handed over to the servants in the village to take care of. After Duan Yu was settled, Zhong Ling took Wu Xi and the three of them to the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations. Since I arrived at the door of the house, it was obviously not appropriate not to visit the master, and the hour was not early, so if I had to hurry up, I would have to sleep in the wilderness again.

Zhong Ling took them straight to the mouth of the valley, and when they got there, they could see that there were nine large pine trees standing side by side, and Zhong Ling went around to the back of the fourth tree, and pushed away the weeds, and the roots of the trees were a little up to reveal a hole.

This entrance is very hidden, but Mu Wanqing and Wu Xi both know about it, and they are not surprised. Only the cold-faced man watched intently and secretly memorized the steps. His small actions didn't hide from Wu Xi, which made Wu Xi have a little change in his opinion of him, this person should be regarded as a leader in the shadows, and his professional quality is quite good.

This Zhong Ling had already opened the baffle, revealing the stone steps below, she turned around and smiled at Wu Xi, and took the lead in drilling, Wu Xi and Mu Wanqing followed closely behind. The cold-faced man hesitated slightly, and then went down, and after going down, he didn't need to be reminded, and he consciously closed the baffle again.

The four of them passed through the tunnel and came to a flat land again, surrounded by trees and grass blades. Next, I had to knock on that paragraph and lead a maid out to receive it, but Zhong Ling was the master, so naturally he didn't need anyone to guide him, so he just said loudly, "I'm back!" And he went straight inside.

"Miss is back!" A girl's voice suddenly came from behind the pine tree, and then a maid turned out from behind the tree, her face was full of joy, but after seeing the two of them, she became a little hesitant again.

"What are you looking at? These are my friends, where is my mom? Zhong Ling saw that she was still and worried that Wu Xi would not like it, so he couldn't help but remind.

"Huh? Oh, yes, Miss, Madame is drinking tea in the garden. The maid hesitated to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, and walked to the front to lead the way.

When passing by the pine tree that said "Those surnamed Duan enter the valley to kill without forgiveness", Wu Xi and the cold-faced man couldn't help but look at it twice, the corners of Wu Xi's mouth curled, and the cold-faced man frowned.

A few more people passed through a few more rooms, and Wu Xi noticed that there were more and more flowers and plants arranged in the courtyard, thinking that he was getting closer and closer to the garden.

Before she had entered the garden, the maid said in a loud voice, "Madame, Madame and her friends are here." The sudden arrival of two strangers made her a little uneasy, the male owner of this Ten Thousand Tribulation Valley has always been very unwelcoming to outsiders, especially men, so she couldn't help but remind the hostess in the garden. Of course, she had seen Mu Wanqing, and she knew that she was a disciple of the master's mother's fellow senior sister, but Mu Wanqing was cold by nature and was not familiar with it.

"Oh? It's Ling'er back! Come here and let me see you. A soft female voice came over the wall, and her joy could be heard in the voice.

"Mom! I'm back. Zhong Ling also seemed very happy when he heard this voice, and subconsciously quickened his steps.

After another doorway, I finally walked into the garden, where the flowers and plants in the garden were lush and neat, and there were many kinds of flowers, among which the camellia was the most abundant. There is a pavilion in the middle, and there is a woman about thirty-six or seventeen years old sitting in the pavilion, looking at Zhong Ling with a smile, and the eyebrows of the two are very similar, obviously Zhong Ling's mother Gan Baobao.

Zhong Ling saw Gan Baobao, smiled, and rushed over to throw himself into her arms, obviously very dear to a mother. The two made love for a while, and the woman smiled at Mu Wanqing before looking at Wu Xi and the two said, "Why don't you introduce your friends to your mother?"

Hearing this, Zhong Ling stood up with a sigh of relief, and introduced Wu Xi in the aisle: "This is Brother Wu, his martial arts are amazing, even more powerful than his father!"

"Hello aunt, my surname is Wu Mingxi, a person from Wuzhou in the Great Song Dynasty" Wu Xi smiled and said hello, behaving as generously and decently as possible, so as not to make things troublesome. Therefore, Gan Baobao also has a good impression of him, she is a senior member of the Appearance Association, and it will be easier for a handsome offspring like Wu Xi to get her favor.

"Hello Wu Gongzi, the son is graceful, knowledgeable, young and young martial arts are already so strong, it must be a family history" Gan Baobao said, she is also a person from the past, and she can see Zhong Ling's affection for Wu Xi at a glance, and she is also quite satisfied with Wu Xi, so she does not hesitate to praise at this time.

"Aunt has won the award" Wu Xi didn't think about pleasing her in particular, and after having a good impression, she didn't want to say more polite words, after all, she was still not good at these.

Gan Baobao nodded, looked at the cold-faced man and said, "What about this son?" Zhong Ling was stunned when she heard this, and looked at Wu Xi, she only paid attention to Wu Xi, but she didn't even ask the name of this person.

"Hello aunt, my name is Duan..."The cold-faced man also greeted him surprisingly, and paused when he said the word "Duan", and saw that Gan Baobao and the maid had changed their faces, so he coughed and said: "Duanmu Lei." After all, he rarely spoke, and this sentence was not said properly, neither "you" nor "under the ground", nor did he tell his origin, but no one paid attention to this, knowing that he was not surnamed Duan, Gan Baobao and the maid were relieved.

Wu Xi knew that he was testing the relationship between the people in this valley and the surname Duan, so he said: "This person has some relationship with me, and this time I passed by the treasure land, so I called him to visit my aunt together."

"Oh, yes, okay." Gan Baobao heard Wu Xi say that this cold-faced man was a friend of his daughter's friend, and he quickly took his attention away from him.

She looked at Mu Wanqing and said, "Miss Mu, your master is in the valley now, go and meet you, she is very worried about you."

"Really? Master, is she really safe, this is really good, where is she now? I'll go see her. Mu Wanqing was overjoyed, and her speech was a little incoherent. After all, it was not the servant aunts of the Mandala Villa in the original book who were chasing them, but a group of very professional and dangerous assassins.

"No need, I'm here." At this time, another female voice came, this voice was a little more gentle than Gan Baobao's voice, a little more cold, and several people looked at the entrance when they heard the voice.
