Chu Liuyan said: "The time I was poisoned was thanks to Uncle Qiao. He was so mobile that he didn't stay here long after he settled me in. For the most part, I still know about it from that woman. I don't know what the woman's last name is, but let me call her Sister-in-law Lan. During this time, she has always helped me boil medicine and take care of me. I should have thanked her so much, or I wouldn't have been able to see you. ”

I nodded, although I have only met once, but that Lan sister-in-law seems to be rough-looking, and her personality should be a very easy-going person, with the simplicity and kindness of mountain people.

Chu Liuyan continued: "Sister-in-law Lan told me that this Immortal Valley has only recently become like this. Before, it was just an isolated hideaway. ”

"Isolated? Xanadu? Is there such a place? ”

Chu Liuyan nodded and said, "Of course." Sister-in-law Lan and they have lived here for generations, and it is said that they have lived here for hundreds of years. ”

"Hundreds of years? How is this possible? ”

Chu Liuyan waved his hand: "You listen to me." The original owners of this immortal valley were hundreds of soldiers. They contracted a strange contagion. With the medical conditions at the time, it was almost a terminal illness. According to the system at that time, these soldiers were to be executed and then buried deeply. But the generals at that time were kind-hearted and loved their soldiers like sons. He ordered the soldiers to gather and stop in a closed village. He will report to the court again and ask a more intelligent Lang Zhong to heal. As a result, the imperial court consulted the imperial court, which ordered that the soldiers must be executed immediately. Failure to do so could lead to an entire army being infected with infectious diseases. But the soldiers were stationed in the village at that time, and the people in the village were also sick. The general had no choice, so he sent the soldiers and villagers to the valley deep in the mountains, and blocked the news and closed the road, which was equivalent to trapping them in the valley. ”

"It's like letting them fend for themselves." I sighed.

Chu Liuyan nodded: "That's right, that's it." After these soldiers and villagers were trapped in the valley, it was probably due to the environmental reasons in the valley, coupled with the fact that there are many rare herbs in the mountains. Many people have improved their symptoms after taking the medicine. But the road is already blocked, and it is unlikely that they want to get out. So, after picking herbs on a large scale and eating them, they lived in the valley. That location is what is now the Valley of the Immortals. ”

Listening to Chu Liuyan talk about the origin of this immortal valley, I was deeply amazed. It turns out that there is such a historical problem here, and this place is not deserted, but has always been lived.

Chu Liuyan continued: "Those exiled soldiers and villagers, after living here, have slowly recovered from their illnesses. But because the road had been sealed and a special seal had been attached, they couldn't find their way out after several attempts. So they gave up the idea of going out to live. Because in that valley, the four seasons are evergreen, the products are abundant, and the land can be cultivated by oneself and completely self-sufficient. The soldiers, as well as the women of the villagers, were also matched with each other. of this valley

, it has also slowly formed its own village, and with its own patriarch, the people here have survived for generations......"

Hearing this, I asked: "Uncle Shi, if you count from the Qing Dynasty, even if it is a late sunshine, it will be some years now." For so many years, no one has ever found out here? ”

Chu Liuyan nodded: "That's right." I also had this suspicion at the beginning, but later Sister-in-law Lan told me that the general had violated the military order by locking so many people in the Valley of Immortality to fend for themselves. In order to prevent others from finding this place, the general invited Coats and made arrangements in the surrounding feng shui. Of course, it is not excluded that there are some other measures, in short, it has become a lonely place, and the people inside can't find their way out, and ordinary people outside won't find it even if they pass by in this neighborhood. How it was arranged, Sister-in-law Lan couldn't understand. ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "I don't think anyone will find anyone here, it should have something to do with that Yin Bridge." And what happened next......"

Later, after living for several generations, as the people in this valley were born, old, sick and died, and the number of births became smaller and smaller, the people here also withered more and more. From the original hundreds of people, to only more than a hundred people living later, the most recent patriarch is Qiao Bo. ”

I asked, "There are more than 100 people living here, why don't I see them?" Only saw Qiao Bo and Sister-in-law Lan? ”

Chu Liuyan smiled bitterly: "That's because life here has been ruined, and two years ago, there were invaders who occupied this place." The original people in the Valley of the Immortal were taken away, and now no one knows where they were taken, and their lives and deaths are unknown. Fortunately, at that time, Qiao Bo and Sister-in-law Lan, as well as a few people packed up their supplies in the underground passage, survived. ”

"Underground passages?"

"Yes." Chu Liuyan pointed to the ground and said, "The soldiers who were trapped here at the beginning still wanted to leave here. Although they couldn't find a way out, they tried all kinds of methods, one of which was to dig tunnels underground, hoping to open a passage from the underground and use the passage to return to the outside world. But this goal cannot be achieved, no matter how they fight, they will eventually return to this valley of immortality, and it is as if someone has cursed it. However, in this way, the underground passage has become an underground network that extends in all directions. The underground road is even finer than the road above. However, in the future, this underground has not been used except for the reserve materials. Only the patriarch and a few people knew the direction and distribution of the passages. ”

I nodded, "No wonder Jober was able to bring you in through the passage." He was so familiar with the road in the village that he brought me back safely. He's been living here for decades. ”

Chu Liuyan nodded and said, "Yes." Jober has been here since birth. The place where we are located is called Xiaozhai. This place is separated from the stockade outside by half a mountain. The geographical conditions affect the temperature to be relatively low in normal times, and it is a place to store daily necessities. Relatively speaking, it is still safe. ”

I thought of everything I had encountered in Xiao Zhouzhai before, and I couldn't help asking, "Uncle Shi, who is the person who invaded here?" Is it from the Fire Soul Group? And also...... I once saw a white-robed fairy fall from the mountain onto the bluestone platform, and give things to the living dead. ”
