Chapter 21: The Grottoes of the Deep Valley

The skeleton's two deep sunken eye holes flickered with blue fire, Bai Sensen held a bronze spear in his hand bones, and his whole body was filled with black gas, so he rode over step by step on the horse bone, the sound of the horse's hooves was like a sound from hell, and the fierce momentum made people even breathless.

He was completely stunned, and saw the majestic skeleton approaching step by step, and had already raised the bronze spear in his hand and stabbed at him.

At this moment, a gunshot rang out in the valley under the cover of night, and the iron bullet from the shotgun struck the bronze spear, and suddenly sparks shot in all directions, and the spear that pierced out was a little crooked, and the young man narrowly avoided it, it turned out that his grandfather chased all the way up and shot at the last moment.

The young man was already frightened at this time, and he didn't react at all, no matter how his grandfather shouted, he was always stunned in place, unable to move.

Seeing that the centaur skeleton raised its spear and stabbed again, the old man was shocked and anxious, and raised his strength and fired again, this time it hit the head of the centaur skeleton, but who would have thought that the skull was even harder than the bronze spear, and the iron bullet had no effect at all.

In the midst of the horror, the old man rushed over quickly, kicked his grandson to the ground, and hurriedly took off his shoes and buckled them on the top of his head, and the young man woke up from a dream and recovered from that sluggish state.

The grandfather and grandson completely escaped from everything, and they couldn't take care of anything, and in a panic, countless bloody wounds were scraped out of their bodies by thorns and bushes, but they couldn't take care of it at all.

I don't know if the shoes on the head played a role, the centaur skeleton did not chase after it, but even so, the grandfather and grandson did not dare to delay for a moment, and escaped from the mountain overnight. Since this incident, the young man has developed an infinite fear of the mountain, and would rather farm than continue to be a hunter in his ancestral business.

After listening to the young man's narration, this large group of people all looked at each other, we are okay, we have experienced a lot of strange things, just a skeleton, it is nothing, but for these villagers who have been digging in the mountains all their lives, this is tantamount to the most terrifying legend.

When we learned that we were going to such a terrible place, there was a commotion in the crowd, and several people were so frightened that they refused to go any further.

The village chief Ahua reprimanded several times, but it was useless, seeing that the situation had changed, the Taoist priest hurriedly stood up and said: "Everyone, folks, please listen to the Taoist master, they said that the Taoist of the Demon Valley was only there some time ago, and he also entered the valley, those so-called demons and monsters didn't even dare to let out a fart when they saw the Taoist master, you can rest assured, there is a Taoist master, to ensure that you are safe and sound, when the time comes, you just block the way out, don't let go of the lame horse." ”

After the Taoist priest finished speaking, he saw that there were still many people who didn't believe it, so he took out a stack of yellow talismans he was carrying with him from his pocket, distributed them to everyone, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the exorcism talisman drawn by the ancestor of the Taoist sect. ”

I saw that these yellow talismans he took out were all painted casually at my home in Chengdu, and I couldn't help but despise it in my heart, if the ancestor of the Taoist priest had a spirit in the sky, he would definitely not let go of this unfilial grandson who ruined his reputation.

But not to mention, these simple and traditional villagers still eat this set, Huang Fu in his hand, the fear on their faces has been reduced a lot, coupled with the persuasion of the village chief, the morale of the team has been raised.

With monkeys and young men leading the way, we soon arrived at the legendary Valley of Strange Demons, which was indeed an extremely deep valley, no, it could not be described as a valley anymore, it was a completely miniature Yeling sinkhole.

Its depth is only about one-third of the Yeling sinkhole, the width is far exceeded, the sinkhole is straight up and straight down, and the demon valley has a very obvious inclination, but it is still very steep, standing on it, you can only vaguely see the bottom of the valley without grass, all bare-exposed dark rocks, uneven, it looks like a crater that has just been hit by a meteorite.

According to the young man, the Demon Valley is extremely terrifying, and extremely terrifying things will happen just a little closer, but now that we have all reached the edge of the valley, nothing has happened, which can't help but raise doubts in my heart.

Seeing that we had come to the edge of the Demon Ghost Valley safely, the villagers, especially the monkey and the young man, were holding the Huang Fu given by the Taoist priest like a sacred object, obviously attributing us to the Huang Fu for being able to get here safely, and they were even more convinced of the Taoist priest's words.

It's good for us, but the valley is steep, how do we go down?

We didn't expect the Demon Valley to be so deep this time, so we didn't prepare a rope at all, and the Taoist bastard wouldn't remind it, but when we got to the place, we couldn't go down, even if the children were really below, we could only look at the valley and sigh.

The Taoist priest patted me, smiled, told me not to worry, said that he had his own way, and after speaking, he led us around the other side of the deep valley.

I didn't understand what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd, so I could only follow, and when I came to the opposite side of the deep valley, I found that this position had a relatively gentle slope that could go down to the bottom of the valley, but it was still dangerous, so I asked Lin Qiao'er, who insisted on following, to wait on it, and half of the team followed me and the Taoist priest down, and the other part stayed on it to answer.

The arrangement stopped, and we didn't care about resting, so the Taoist priest took the lead, and I followed, and the village chief Ah Hua led the villagers to climb down after us.

This damn canyon is a real headache, the slope is gentle, but the slope is full of loose debris, and it is very likely that a foot will cause the whole wall of gravel to slide, the same as an avalanche, but the avalanche is much more comfortable than the landslide, and these gravel are very sharp, if you are not careful, you will be cut on your fingers.

We walked extremely painfully, more than 100 meters of height for more than an hour to finish, and when we stepped on the bottom, I only felt that both legs were trembling, and the hanging heart finally let go.

After this period of suffering, my physical fitness has made great progress, and my physical fitness is better than that of these villagers who have lived in the mountains for a long time and farmed all year round, and I am still so tired that my legs tremble, and they are even more poor, and half of the dozen or so people who came down with me collapsed on the rocks as soon as they landed, and they couldn't stand up.

Seeing this situation, I said in my heart that it was bad, if the lame horse really hid in the deep valley, then this guy was really well prepared, this valley is completely the best natural obstacle, even if it is not the villagers, but the long-trained armed police, after experiencing such a climb, there will definitely not be much physical strength left, even if it is really fought at that time, he will not necessarily suffer a loss if he waits for work.

I expressed my worries, and the Taoist priest immediately snorted coldly: "Hmph, you are afraid of a hair, there is a Taoist master, you don't need to do it, the Taoist master can clean them all up alone, and I called you here just in case to prevent him from escaping, do you still think that the Taoist master really plans to rely on these guys?" ”

While speaking, the Taoist priest glanced at the men from Luogang Village lying on the ground with contempt, and shook his head.

I rolled my eyes and said to him, "Since you are so good, why did you fall for someone else's way last time, if it weren't for Lao Tzu in time, you would have become a fucking roast pork." ”

was poked by me in the sore spot, and the Taoist priest suddenly showed embarrassment: "Last time, didn't we fall for someone else's trick last time, hmph, if you face each other with real swords and real guns, Daoist will not be afraid of him." ”

"The other party is going to be Gu, do you have a way to deal with it?" I asked curiously.

"Cut, isn't it just a little evil Gu? Do you really think Dao Ye can't handle it? To tell you the truth, compared to one of the veins of the Xuanmen Dao, the witch Gu is just a small way, thinking that I am in the Shenzhou, thousands of years of inheritance, will I still be afraid of a small Gu art? It was just Dao Ye's carelessness before, otherwise Dao Ye had a hundred ways to deal with that Lao Shizi Chrysalis Gu, this time, Lao Tzu had to peel off the bones and skin of the Xiao Xiao who was hurting people secretly. ”

The Taoist priest said impassionedly, how much of the content of the words was boastful, and how much was out of grief and indignation, I don't know, but seeing that he was so confident, my heart was also reassured, and I asked him what to do next.

The Taoist priest thought for a while, pointed to the people who collapsed on the ground and said to the village chief: "These soft-footed guys don't care, you follow us with the rest of the movement, the grotto is in the middle of the deep valley, there is no light in it, you only need to light for us, and the rest is all wrapped up on the Taoist master!" ”

After saying that, he quickly pointed to the few remaining people who were just panting slightly, and then walked towards the middle of the valley without looking back.

I pulled out the Apocalypse Sword on my back, followed the Taoist priest, handed the sword over, and asked him, "Hey, you don't have a guy in your hand, do you want it?" ”

The Taoist priest looked back and immediately rolled his eyes: "Damn, you still keep this thing!" Lao Tzu is carrying it like carrying a mountain, not only can it not help, but it will also affect the skills of the Taoist master. ”

Hearing him say this, I remembered the characteristics of the apocalypse, so I took out a few Yan Wudao talismans from my pocket and handed them to the Taoist priest. What I handed him was the powerful thunder talisman of Zhengqianmen, this thing is risky to use, and it will be charged to me if I am not careful, and it is useless for me to keep it, it is best to use it to defend the Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest's eyes were straight when he saw this talisman, he had coveted these talismans of mine for a long time, and when he was in the hospital before, he asked me for it with a dead face, and I didn't give it at the time, which made this guy complain for a while.

He snatched the thunder talisman, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Immeasurable, your grandmother is a Tianzun, a good thing, this is a superb good thing!" It's better than a bomb, a lot of electricity! ”

I looked at him with disdain, and said in my heart, you are a fucking Taoist priest, can you be a little promising?

As I spoke, I had already seen the grotto mentioned by the Taoist priest, which was more of a cave than a grotto.

It was a very wide stone crack in the ground, and it was pitch black inside, I don't know why the Taoist priest said that he was a grotto?

"Come, give Dao Ye a flashlight!" The Taoist priest shouted, and immediately a person behind him handed over a flashlight, and the Taoist priest took it and bit it in his mouth, supported the stone walls at both ends of the gap with both hands, and turned over and drilled in.

I followed him closely, and the wooden sword in my hand got in the way, and I carried it back on my back, and the rest of the people followed.

The entrance to the stone crack was very deep, and the Taoist priest who got into it first slid down for several minutes, and suddenly let go of his hand with a light snort, and the whole person fell.

I thought his hand slipped and fell, and I was shocked, but immediately I heard the sound of landing from below, and my hanging heart couldn't help but loosen, and I also learned that he let go of his hand, and his body fell about a meter high, and my feet also touched the hard rock ground.

The Taoist priest was already looking around with a flashlight, and by the light of his flashlight, I could see the situation below, and finally knew why he called this a grotto.

Under the stone crevices are huge cracks of large and small hollows, extending in all directions, very complex, it is not an exaggeration to call it a grotto.

When everyone had come down, I asked the priest, "Hey, what now?" It's all over the place, it's like a labyrinth, how do we find it? ”

"Hmph, what are you looking for? They're here! ”

The Taoist priest snorted coldly, suddenly turned around and looked at a dark gap, and shouted, "Since you're here, come out!" Dao Ye and your account, it's time to settle it! ”

I was taken aback, and hurriedly turned to look at the place, and at the same time all the other people's flashlights shone in that direction, and the lights gathered, and the darkness was dispelled, and sure enough, I saw a person standing in the crack of the stone.

Someone immediately raised a gun and aimed it at the man, and we stopped him: "Wait, don't shoot yet!" ”

As I spoke, I looked at the guy carefully, not far away, and I could see very clearly that it was a long-haired man with a mustache, in his forties, very ordinary-looking, with a straw hat hanging on his head, ragged clothes, staring at us with a gloomy face.

"It's really you, lame horse!" The voice of the village chief Ah Hua remembered.

Seeing that the other party still had a gloomy face and didn't speak, Ah Hua scolded with an indignant face: "Why did you do this? The people in the village treat you well, how can you do such a hurtful thing, children, where did you take the children captive? ”

At this time, I saw the lame man grinning, revealing a row of yellowed teeth: "Child, hehehe, they are about to become sacrifices to summon the gods to come, this is their mission, you stupid guys didn't kill this stupid Taoist priest, it's a pity, but it doesn't matter, when you find here, you have already stepped into hell, accept God's arrangement!" ”

The convulsive sound was extremely unpleasant, and after he finished speaking, he suddenly whistled, and a noisy sound suddenly sounded in the dark stone crevices around me, and my heart jumped, and I suddenly had a feeling of extreme foreboding.
