Yumian described the scene to Huayan in detail, and then helped her sit down beside her, "You wait for me here, I'll come when I go." ”

Hua Yan grabbed him and said worriedly: "This place is too far from the middle of the lake, and it is impossible for anyone to fly over without borrowing strength!" ”

Yumian smiled casually, leaned over to Huayan and asked happily, "Is Yan'er worried about me?" ”

Hua Yan gently withdrew his hand, turned to the side, and reproached: "When is it, you still have the heart to take care of other things." ”

As he was talking, someone next to him was already eager to try. The first to strike was the head of the Qingxu Dao. He seemed to have the foresight, and picked the farthest road from the shore, and jumped to the pavilion to the north. Because he knew that no one would dare to try this path easily, so that no one would dare to compete with him.

He was already small and thin, and he was very good at light work, stepping lightly on the surface of the lake, and with the help of three or four short wooden stakes, he leaped swiftly to the pavilion, like a dragonfly touching water, without difficulty.

Just when everyone was still stunned, the Qingxu Daoist had already arrived in the small pavilion.

I saw that there was a stone trough with lotus flowers in the pavilion, and there were no other brocade boxes and the like. Qingxu Daoist couldn't help but be a little anxious, he looked up and down in the small pavilion carefully, but still found nothing.

So far, I can only entrust my last hope to the stone trough. He rolled up his sleeves and groped his dry hand in the mud of the stone trough, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he found a delicate bag.

Qingxu Dao Chang trembled and washed the mud on the brocade box, only to find that the lotus pill was raised at the root of this lotus! The rhizome of the lotus flower is the rope that blocks the bag.

He couldn't wait to open the bag and take out a red pill, but with his suspicious nature, he would not take it immediately, but carefully stored it in his arms.

Seeing that the Qingxu Dao Leader had obtained the pill first, the others couldn't wait and ran towards the remaining two small pavilions. However, they were not as smooth as the Qingxu Dao Chief.

Halfway down the road, either the soles of their feet slipped, or their physical strength was exhausted, and they fell into the water one after another, and they could no longer see their movement on the calm lake, as if there were man-eating monsters hidden in the water, filling them all.

Such a strange scene also discouraged the rest of the people.

Guan Er was not as reckless as they were, but came to the old man for consultation, and he leaned over and saluted, "I have seen the messenger in Xia Guan Er." ”

"What advice does Second Master Guan have?" The old man returned the salute gently.

"There is still something unclear below, and I would like to ask the messenger to clarify my doubts."

The old man replied with a smile: "Be a good man, just say it." ”

"Just now you only said how to get the pill, but you didn't say how to enter the valley. This place is already so far away from the small pavilion, and there are no ships nearby, even if we take the pill, how can we go to the Valley of the Madmen? Guan Er pointed to the small pavilion in the north, and asked the old man about the Qingxu Daoist who was in a hurry.

And the Qingxu Daoist only thought about how to obtain the pill, but he never thought about how to get to the Valley of the Madman, and now he has used most of his physical strength to go to the pavilion, and he can't support it to fly back, let alone cross the lake to the Valley of the Madman. Neither advance nor retreat, the Qingxu Daoist is already trapped in the small pavilion.

With a mysterious look, the old man laughed loudly a few times and replied, "This is the test of all heroes. I beg your pardon for the decrepit and no comment. ”

Although Guan Er's skill is not as long as Qingxu Dao, he is slightly better in terms of resourcefulness. He left the old man's pavilion, turned around and walked through the woods, and at last, he walked out with seven or eight bamboos in his arms.

When others asked him, he didn't pay any attention, and he used grass and vines to trap the bamboo side by side, and then he quickly jumped on the water with it, and ran towards the small pavilion to the west. On the way, he almost fell into the water, but finally arrived successfully. After obtaining the elixir, he used the bamboo planks he brought with him as a boat, and slowly slid all the way in the direction of the Valley of the Madmen. He turned a blind eye to the Qingxu Daoist's desperate pleas.

The second place has been obtained by Guan 2. This made the two or three people who were still waiting on the shore crazy.

Jade Mian couldn't bear it anymore, tied up his robe, and prepared to walk to the small pavilion to the east. There were still two competitors in front of him, and they had already reached the kiosk before they were in contention.

Hua Yan suddenly stood up, grabbed the jade face, and asked, "Do the little pavilions on this lake have names?" ”

Yumian looked back for a week, and although he didn't know what he meant, he still replied: "Yes, in the north, west, and east directions, they are Miaoyu, Miaoxin, and Miaoyue." ”

"That's not right...... How can there only be these three? ......" said to himself, shaking his head in a low voice.

Yumian suddenly added: "I patronize the distance, but forget the near." There is also a small pavilion on this shore, but this pavilion is shabby, and the name is not clear......"

Hua Yan smiled happily, "That's it!" ”

Yumian held Huayan's shoulder and soothed: "Okay, don't think nonsense, don't worry, I'm sure." It's more difficult than light work. Those are even less important. ”

Huayan refused to let go, and hurriedly said: "No! The last Lotus Pill wasn't there! ”

"Yan'er, what did you say?" Yumian asked in surprise, and he took the painting to a secluded place to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

Hua Yan said anxiously: "Let's go to the small pavilion on the shore, the messenger should be in a hurry." ”

"What?" Although Yumian didn't understand the intention of painting Yan, he still helped Huayan and walked over.

"Xiao Shengwen Zhiyuan, take my sister to see the messenger." Jade bowed to the old man and saluted.

The old man said with a pleasant face: "The jade-faced boy doesn't have to be polite. Do you have any questions? ”

Hua Yan stepped forward and said with a smile: "We want to ask the old master to give me the Lotus Pill." ”

The old man stroked his beard and smiled: "The two of you want to take the elixir, how did you come to the old man?" Both of them are well-known figures in the rivers and lakes, and they should compete fairly. ”

Hua Yan took a step forward and said with a smile: "The last Lotus Pill is placed here, why does the old master need to play dumb riddles with us again?" ”

The old man raised his head and laughed, "What do you mean by this, girl?" ”

"Although my eyes can't see, my heart can discern it." The so-called Baili Pavilion, in fact, is the name of the lake, there are a total of four pavilions on the lake, namely Miaoyu, Miaoxin, Miaoyue, and Miaohua. It's just that this pavilion on the shore is deliberately not trimmed, and the word Miaohua is gradually withering, so it is not easy for people to notice. The old master only said that the Lotus Pill was in the pavilion, but he didn't specifically mention it. I still remember that the old master once read a poem and wanted to ask where to find the fairyland? It's better to get drunk with peanuts. The answer is obvious. ”

"The girl's heart is as fine as dust! Since you already know, why didn't you come and pick it up sooner? ”

Hua Yan replied with a smile: "The closer you get, the more people will scramble." Wait patiently and you'll be able to get your hands on it. ”

The old man nodded in approval, he took out a brocade box from his sleeve and handed it to Hua Yan. "The girl is really smart. It is the luck of the Madman Valley to have the girl here, and the owner of my valley must not be very happy with the girl's arrival! ”

"It turns out that Yan'er has known for a long time!" Jade Mian said excitedly.

Huayan couldn't be happy, she lowered her head, in a dilemma.

The old man saw the concerns of the painter and explained: "My valley master has already explained, the jade-faced boy is a friend, and he can go with the girl." ”

"So, thank you for the valley master's accommodation." Painting the face owes the body.

"The old man saw that the girl was extraordinary, and a requiem song was enough to shock the Quartet, so he dared to ask the girl what her name was? Who is the teacher? The old man asked, a pair of shrewd eyes looking at every look of the painting.

It seems to show that it is impossible to lie in front of him.

Huayan was slightly stunned, not knowing how to answer. If you report to your home, you don't know how much trouble it will cause. Nowadays, the rivers and lakes are dominant, and it is indispensable to form grievances with others. Now she is alone outside, and her martial arts have been lost, and if the enemy knows about it, her life will not be guaranteed.

"Old master, have you forgotten? She's Xiaosheng's roommate! is called Narcissus, she has never worshipped a teacher, let alone a person in the rivers and lakes. How can a little song cost a person's life? Don't make such jokes, old master! The sister has been weak since she was a child, and she has suffered countless illnesses, and Xiaosheng brought her sister here to ask for a prescription. Jade Mian took the initiative to come forward to play a round for the painting face.

The painting was silent, grateful.

When the old man heard this, he laughed and said nothing.

"Now that we've obtained the elixir, let's go quickly!" Yu Mian said, and he was about to pull the painting face and go out.

Huayan asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"To the Valley of the Madmen, of course! Qingxu Dao Chang and Guan Er are one step ahead of us, and it is estimated that they have arrived at this time. Jade Mian was slightly anxious.

Hua Yan didn't answer, turned to the old man and said, "Please also ask the old master to guide us the way." ”

The old man nodded admiringly and said, "Please come with me, two of you." As he spoke, he glanced at the empty shore, chuckled, and led the way out of the Miaohua Pavilion to the side door, and into the bamboo forest.

At the end of the bamboo forest, there is a foothill, and on the moss-stained green mountain wall, there is an ancient iron gate, which looks solid and heavy.

Jade Mian and Huayan hurriedly followed, only to find that there was a cave hidden in the lower left of the Miaohua Pavilion, the road in the cave was flat, the lights were dim, but the door was covered with dense weeds, making it difficult for people to notice.

Yumian asked in surprise, "Could this be the key to the Valley of the Madman?" ”

The old man opened the door and said, "The two of you will follow later, and the old man will take the first step." The old man flicked his beard and chuckled, and walked in with a light step.

Behind the door is a long and dark stone road, the cold air is cold, the skin of the head is strong, the painting face and the jade face have just stepped into the door, the iron door immediately and automatically closed tightly, cutting off the light and warmth outside the door, and the four suddenly fell silent, not even a trace of sound can be heard.

If you want to kill someone, this is a good place to be.

"How did Yan'er know about this place?" The sound of jade face wafting in the pure cave.

"The old master's poem has made it very clear, where to find the fairyland? It's better to get drunk with peanuts. This indicates that the Lotus Pill is in the Miaohua Pavilion, and he wants to find the way to the Mad Valley in the Miaohua Pavilion. I remember you once told me that the Valley of the Madmen has been known as the Lonely of the South since ancient times. It is in line with the orientation of Myokata. ”

"It turns out that the East Pavilion, the West Pavilion and the North Pavilion are just tricks, and the real passage is in the south!" Jade Mian suddenly realized.

When the old man who led the way heard this, he couldn't help but praise: "The girl's intelligence is unmatched. It's a pity that those mediocre men only know how to use force, not their brains, and to this day, I'm afraid they are still swimming on the water! Hahaha......"

The old master's hearty laughter filled the entire cave.

When the old man said this, Jade Mian also looked ashamed, but fortunately, in the dim cave, no one could see his embarrassed expression at the moment.

Although they successfully passed the test of the Valley of the Madmen, they still did not dare to slack off, otherwise they would most likely end up like those who fell into the lake.

Why has the Valley of the Madmen thrived for hundreds of years and its location is still little known? It must have something to do with their strict precautions.

From hundreds of people involved, more than 50 people remained, 10 people showed up, and in the end, only four people survived. This seemingly peaceful game was spilled in the dark.

The winner is not necessarily king, and the loser will not return.
