Chapter 16: A New Dream

A pure white stone house, abruptly located on the mountainside full of blue-black rocks, at the foot of the mountain is a field of bluestone houses, high and low, surrounded by several slightly majestic bluestone buildings. The surrounding undulating mountains are like a barrier that encloses the place into a valley. There seemed to be hot steaming over the valley, and the air became a little distorted, with layers of ripples.

Outside the white stone house, a figure stood with his hands down, of medium stature, with a black robe and a black cape, the hem of which was embroidered with a flame pattern with white gold trim.

"Xia Yan, how are things going?" an old and dull voice came from the stone house.

Hearing this voice, the man in black named Xia Yan hurriedly said respectfully, "Back to Master, the disciple sent out should be back soon, don't worry." In order not to arouse suspicion, the people sent out were all 'red' level disciples, but with the older Han Feng leading the team, there would be no accidents. ”

"Han Feng, is that idiot who is almost forty years old and hasn't broken through the Triple Exercise Method?" the old voice in the stone house was questioning.

"It's him, but Han Feng hasn't been able to rush to the realm for a long time because of his poor qualifications, he has been doing foreign chores in the valley since he started, he has rich experience in dealing with the world, and his mind is flexible. And his strength is not bad among the deficit generation, and the first heavy flame devouring skill is also practiced perfectly. With him leading the team, it was easy to deal with some barbarians. ”

"Hmph, I hope so......"

Xia Yan stood still for a while, seeing that there was no sound in the stone house, bowed, slowly took a few steps back, turned around and jumped a few times, and landed lightly at the foot of the mountain. Looking back at the white stone house half-hidden behind the mountainside boulder, Xia Yan's eyes flashed with resentment, "Old immortal, pretend to be mysterious with me, and don't tell me what you send someone to do, if you don't say it, do you think you can hide it from me?" Hmph...... I'm also the valley master anyway, I really think I'm a puppet at your mercy, hehe, I'll make you regret it......"

Xia Yan's figure disappeared into a majestic bluestone hall. At the heavy lintel of the bluestone hall, three golden characters show the unusual place - Divine Flame Valley. In the name of God, it shows the strong strength and self-confidence of the people of this valley.

Divine Flame Valley, one of the three most powerful forces within a radius of thousands of miles. The other two major forces are "Biluoquan" and "Jijiazhuang".

The Divine Flame Valley is famous for its fire attribute exercises, and the secret technique in the valley is "Flame Devouring Gong", which absorbs flame energy to practice the exercises. When the person who has practiced it faces the enemy, his fists, feet, and fingers will be wrapped in flames, which is a domineering exercise. The Valley of the Divine Flame is located in a volcano of earth fire, and according to legend, the patriarch of the Kai sect is a traveling magician, who happened to encounter the eruption of earth fire during his travels, and swallowed it by alchemy of earth fire, and his skill has increased greatly. So he realized the Tao here, and by chance, he created the "Flame Devouring Gong", and then excavated and transformed the earth fire volcano, and founded the Divine Flame Valley, which has been inherited for more than 1,000 years. There are more than 1,000 disciples in the valley, divided into four levels: "red", "yellow", "white", and "gold", which correspond to the color of the flames emitted by the exercises. The "red" level is the lowest, the flames are red, and most of them are ordinary disciples. The "Yellow" rank has become the elite of the valley, serving as a deacon and captain, and is the backbone of the Divine Flame Valley. There are only a few people in the "white" rank, and they are already the highest level in the valley, the position of the elder. As for the "gold" level, it has not appeared for hundreds of years, and the person with the highest skill in the valley is the Great Elder, named "Wei Chongshan", that is, the one who lives in the white stone house. The valley master of the Divine Flame Valley, Xia Yan, is the only disciple of Wei Chongshan. Wei Chongshan abdicated more than ten years ago to make way for Xian, built a cold jade stone house on the mountainside, and devoted himself to cultivation to break the realm.

The mountains and dense forests shrouded in night are even more eerie and quiet. In a slightly gentle place on the mountainside, several black-robed people sat on the ground around a bonfire. Under the tree not far away, Jiang Hua and Mu Qingyun were resting against the thick trunk, Jibu was sleeping peacefully in Mu Qingyun's arms, and the two of them swallowed the dry food given by the black-robed man without a mouthful. The mountain road for nearly a day has exhausted Mu Qingyun's physical strength, and he is already sleepy at this time. Jiang Hua was not tired, but he also pretended to be tired, and he didn't want to show the black-robed man that his physique was different from ordinary people.

"Senior Brother Han Feng, you said that the valley lord asked us to catch this woman thousands of miles away, what the hell ......is it" He Ming saw that Jiang Hua and the three of them were already asleep, and he couldn't hold back his curiosity that had already exploded.

"Be quiet!" The black-robed middle-aged man known as Han Feng interrupted He Ming's questioning sharply, and glanced at a black-robed man next to him out of the corner of his eye, and saw that the black-robed man closed his eyes and did not move, as if he did not pay attention to He Ming's words. Thinking that there was still a difficult and dangerous road behind that required everyone to work together, his tone eased, and he said in a low voice, "How can we low-level disciples know the valley master's thoughts, this woman must be very important to the valley master, everyone must be cautious and cheer up along the way, if the task cannot be completed, everyone knows the consequences." Hearing Han Feng's warning, and then thinking of the valley master's methods, except for He Ming, the others all shivered.

He Ming was still more active, "Don't worry, senior brother, it's safe all the way when you come, we follow the mark when we came, it's fine." Besides, there's an extra guide to lead the way, though, we don't need a guide either. ”

Han Feng swept the black-robed man who had closed his eyes and was silent just now with his afterglow again, and was relieved to see that he still didn't react. Seeing that He Ming was a little disapproving, he didn't refute directly, but calmly said slowly, "When we came, we were running with all our might, and the speed was very fast, you don't underestimate this dense forest, we were very lucky when we came, and we didn't encounter danger, but in the high mountains and dense forests, there must be fierce beasts infested, we took a few ordinary people, who were inconvenient to move, although we were not afraid of ordinary beasts, but we still acted cautiously." He Ming originally wanted to ask Han Feng again, the task was only to catch this woman, but now it's good, and he brought two more ......

"He Ming, you and Zhao Ping take turns keeping vigil tonight. ”

"Yes, brother. He Ming and another black-robed man replied respectfully, and could only let go of their thoughts of asking.

Jiang Hua has been pretending to sleep, and he only vaguely heard a few words in the dialogue of the black-robed man, "Valley master, task, mark, guide......" A few simple words, but Jiang Hua roughly deduced the meaning.

"These people were sent by a valley lord to arrest Mu Qingyun, the task is very important, Mu Qingyun and Jibu will be fine for the time being, they want a living person. These people have made marks in the dense forest, and they are very good, and they will not be afraid to get lost if they have the opportunity to escape. As for the guide, Jiang Hua didn't figure it out.

The night was getting deeper, everyone fell asleep, only the black-robed man Zhao Ping, who was keeping vigil at night, was still fighting his spirits, constantly looking around, and dutifully guarding everyone. But Zhao Ping didn't notice that a pair of small smart red eyes were watching them from behind the trunk of a tree not far away.

Jiang Hua found himself suddenly appearing in a pitch-black space, as soon as he stretched out his hand, a cold and rough touch came, as if it was a stone wall, and before Jiang Hua continued to explore, the space suddenly brightened, and Jiang Hua saw the scene around him clearly.

It was a large square stone chamber, and the rough walls around it were surrounded by sinuous light that formed a pattern that illuminated the stone chamber in detail, except for the pitch blackness of the roof, as if something had absorbed the light. Seeing the scene in front of him, Jiang Hua instantly understood that he was in a dream again, and there was no mysterious person, but it was replaced by patterns. Since he came here, he has never had a normal dream, and the first dream allowed him to learn the mysterious actions to improve his physique, what kind of magical thing could this dream be? Thinking of the benefits brought by the first dream, Jiang Hua couldn't wait to observe those patterns of brilliance.

"Why are these pictures so familiar...... "The more Jiang Hua looked, the more he felt that he had seen these patterns somewhere.

"Isn't this the human body structure diagram I learned in textbooks when I was in school?" Jiang Hua was a little stunned, but these human body structure patterns were more complicated, a full fourteen patterns, and the lines of different thicknesses in each pattern ran through the whole body, making Jiang Hua dizzy.

Jiang Hua couldn't remember the specific content in the textbook, and only vaguely remembered that this should be a human meridian diagram, "But how can there be so many?"

"No, this should be the twelve meridians of the human body, and two of them are the two meridians of Rendu. "Learning is not useful, but the novels and idle books that Jiang Hua is familiar with make him remember that the human body has twelve meridians and two meridians. These descriptions of the meridians have appeared too many times in the novels Jiang Hua has read, so they are deeply memorable. Thinking of this, Jiang Hua became inexplicably excited, "The descriptions of the meridians in the novel are generally related to advanced martial arts or the practice of exercises, the first dream is to let me improve my physique, is this dream ...... You want to teach me some peerless magic skills!" Jiang Hua thought of the beauty, and his heart jumped with it. Jiang Hua hurriedly looked around, touched every wall where it could touch, and was frustrated to find that there was nothing but a glowing figure of the human body. There are no mantras hidden on the walls, no exercises hidden in the dark grid, and even the meridian maps do not have the practice routes that are often described in novels.

"Hey, a novel is a novel after all, and it seems that I can't be a peerless master......" Jiang Hua secretly laughed at himself. At this moment, the brilliance on the wall changed again, and I saw that some brighter and more dazzling points of light appeared on each line, densely covered with the whole pattern.

"These points of light, are they acupuncture points?" Jiang Hua guessed.

As the light flickered, the light on the wall faded, and a huge pattern that took up almost the entire wall emerged. Jiang Hua remembered that this was a picture that had just appeared, but it was larger, the lines and light points on it were clearer, and some words appeared next to the lines and light points. Jiang Hua knew these words, but most of them had never seen them, but what surprised him was that the reading and meaning of these words appeared in his mind inexplicably.

"Zhongfu", "Qize", "Taiyuan", "Shaoshang", words that have never been heard or heard spit out from Jiang Hua's mouth, and every time a word is read, the light spots or lines in the picture will shine brighter and flicker.

"Is this for me to memorize these veins and acupuncture points? Yes, these things must be useful. Jiang Hua figured out the meaning of this dream, so he began to carefully observe the direction of the veins on the memory pattern and the location of the acupoints, and kept comparing on his body to find the corresponding position.

It wasn't until all the veins and acupoints on the pattern were memorized that Jiang Hua lay down on the ground tiredly, and the brilliance on the wall disappeared as Jiang Hua's gaze left, and the space became dark again. Jiang Hua looked at the roof while moving his somewhat sore eyes, and in his sight, the black space began to distort, like a cyclone. It was a strange feeling, it was dark all around, but the twisted cyclone was even darker and brighter. Jiang Hua suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and quickly closed his eyes. At the moment when his eyelids were about to close, Jiang Hua seemed to see a few words emerge from the cyclone-

"Red Dust Practice".
