Volume 1, Frontier Chapter 003, Netherworld

Netherworld Valley, as the name suggests, is an abyssal deep mountain valley, located thirty miles away from the north side of Lingxu Peak, sandwiched between the Fengming Peak on the northwest side and the Wanghai Peak on the southeast side, and there are bottomless Netherworld Caves at the bottom of the valley. I have heard others say that the cold water of the abyss at the bottom of this netherworld valley is like a sleeping dragon coiled at the bottom of a mountain stream, its tail buried in the deep mountain valley, but its head rushes into the endless East China Sea; Therefore, this Fengming Peak and Wanghai Peak are equivalent to the two natural gods on the side of the Hidden Valley Cave, guarding day and night. Otherwise, once a malicious crowd invades from the sea, or a demonic person flies from the netherworld, the Heavenly Holy Land Spirit Void Peak and Spirit Void Pavilion in this human world will be directly exposed to the side of the clutches of the evil enemy's attack.

Shang Qingtian didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly rushed to the Netherworld Valley on the east side with the master's latest refining of this Hundred Variety Away Knife. He tapped on his tiptoes, walked like a fly, climbed over the wall, galloped and jumped, and in a short time came to the edge of this bottomless valley.

In fact, it is the midsummer of May, the pine on the mountain is like a cover, and the sun is still like fire, but the valley is like a green bamboo like a cloud, cool and quiet. Standing on the cliff in the middle of the mountain, you can see the cold pool of the narrow and horizontal fork at the bottom of the valley, its shape is like a handle sickle and the moon hook is longitudinally bent and oblique, the dark green is like the jasper of the deep mountain, the deep is like the dragon with resentment, and there is a faint and deep breath of coolness and depth, which makes people look cold. Walked to the bottom of the valley, saw a lot of pebbles and jasper, looked at the cold pool closely, and felt a little more relaxed, which gave rise to the feeling of the pool, but saw that the water in the pool was deep and clear, and the cold air was more obvious, so that the swimming fish in the water were rare. But there is a fish with a pair of bird-like wings, which flies up and down on the surface of the water, and sparkles, and from time to time its mouth makes a sound like a mandarin duck. Shang Qingtian knew that this was the legendary slippery fish, and he heard that once this fish appeared, there would be a serious drought. He had no choice but to walk along the bend of the valley floor, looking for it as he went, but he saw that on the cliff on one side of the valley, there were three big red characters engraved on the cliff like a sharpening face, and under the red letters, on the shore of the secluded lake, there was an ochre-colored rock with two black characters engraved on it: "Nourishing water."

"It turns out that this place is called Zitong Mountain, and this deep valley and secluded water also have a name. He muttered to himself.

Running forward for about half an hour, the valley gradually widened, like a slender bell mouth gradually opened, the water surface also widened, from the deep and narrow cold pool, expanded into a deep and wide lake, but saw that there was a piece of bluestone engraved with red characters at the water's edge, and when I got closer, it was the three red characters of "Xilong Lake".

There are more and more jade stones at the water's edge, jasper, white jade, topaz, and red jade, which are strange and colorful. There are more trees on both sides, such as wolfberry trees, catalpa trees, paulownia trees, weeping willows, camphor trees, magnolia trees, well-known unknown, tall and straight, colorful, brilliant silver flowers, shrubs and trees, everything, sandwiched into a forest, dense as weaving. And in the depths of this dense forest, all kinds of animal cries began to be heard, some like mandarin ducks moaning, some like babies crying, some "dangkang dangkang" crying, some piglet-like howling, some like wolves howling, and some like patients vomiting...... The screams are strange and unheard of, and they make his scalp explode for a while, and then he is shocked by his throat and eyes, which makes his heart tight and loose for a while, and he feels that this deep mountain valley is the most mysterious and unpredictable place in the world, no wonder the master usually doesn't let him come down at will?

It was always too slow to walk like this, so he jumped lightly, jumped on the branches, stretched his arms lightly, stepped on the treetops, changed his legs, and walked slightly, jumping on the leaves and branches at the top of the forest, dancing like a dance. The lake flows slowly, the green hills on both sides fly by, and the sounds of various animals in the woods are one after another, endlessly, high-pitched or low-pitched, sharp or thick, and varied. After listening to it a lot, he was no longer surprised and afraid, he had been cultivating in the mountain for nearly ten years, and he had never gone down the mountain freely, but now he was full of kung fu, with a sword at his waist and a valley, but he had a feeling of a heroic boy crisscrossing the rivers and lakes.

After "flying" for about half an hour, although the mountains on both sides of the river were still high and the forests were lush, the water surface was vast, the wind and waves were high, the air was fresh, and there was a slightly fishy and salty smell, but there was an intermittent low trumpet sound in the ears.

"Am I going to the East China Sea?" he asked himself.

Looking around left and right, I saw a familiar mountain standing in the east, a mountain with two peaks, and it was really similar to the ethereal peak of the fairy mountain. Under the blue sky, the outline of the emerald green onion cage depicts two round arched peaks like peaches, plump and round, round and attractive. On the top of the peak, each protruding from a peak like a bean's head, making this peak look more like the trembling breasts of a young woman lying down, which immediately attracted Shang Qingtian's youthful eyes and made him think about it. In the middle of the two peaks, as if a piece was stripped away by the gods, a vertical sinking pit was formed, which was shaped like a deep ditch in the seductive deep ditch on the woman's chest; above the deep ditch, there was a pale blue natural rock floating and resting, as if there was a true qi below to support it, looking at it from afar, it was faintly swaying there, and there was a whining ghostly sound, the sound was like a low horn; under the deep ditch, halfway up the mountain, there was a bare piece of cyan mountain rock, which was engraved with three big red characters of "Dongshi Mountain".

"What is his grandmother's called 'Dongshi Mountain'? Shang Qingtian's face turned red when he saw it, he stretched out his tongue and licked his lower lip, and said to himself. "It seems that this is the legendary 'Dangling Stone'. At the foot of the mountain, there is a mottled black reef rippling with waves, and three big red characters are also engraved on it: "Xilong Bay".

His ears always listened to the sound of something different, and he calmed down and listened carefully, but he heard thousands of birds and beasts singing happily, and the sound of the wind and water was as harmonious as ever, but in this primitive symphony of natural creation, there were faintly mixed with a few angry rebukes and coquettish shouts of young women.

"Someone!"

He was startled, and fell to the ground gently, listening with his ears up, listening to the sound and identifying the position, and the feeling was coming from the front.

Jumping up again, stepping on a tree, and speeding rapidly, I heard the continuous shouting and angry rebuke of young women in the distance ahead, and then heard the roars of two men, and then a "clanging" golden strike.

The figure is getting closer and closer, and the voice is getting clearer and clearer, and after a while, I saw the water in the distance, which is as wide as the sea, two men in black chase a woman in red with a sword, and fight on the water, the two men are getting braver and braver, and the killing moves are continuous, the long sword in the hand of the woman in red, the silver light is shining, and the air is as clear as the wind, it is not a vulgar thing at first glance, but under the siege of the two, it is gradually difficult to support, repeatedly in trouble, and repeatedly turn danger into safety, but it is also safe and sound. What is the ability of two big men to bully a weak woman? So he shouted:

"Who is so bold, who dares to trespass into my Qingyang Mountain to spread wild trouble?"

The sound of the shouting immediately turned into a floating air wave, which jumped over the water waves in the valley and spread quickly.

The two men in black who were in a hurry suddenly heard someone shouting in front of them, and they couldn't help but be stunned, and the kung fu in their hands slowed down, and the woman in red took the opportunity to swing away the halberd and Ge in their hands with a sword, and fled on the waves, heading straight to Shang Qingtian's side.

"What a fast skill!" Shang Qingtian exclaimed, "Light skills are more beautiful!"

I saw the woman in red, Ling Bo walked slightly, her body changed, and she rushed to his side in a few clicks.

"Childe save me!" the woman shouted, her voice was crisp and pleasant. Then he tapped the waves of water on his toes, like a dragonfly, and jumped ashore and hid behind him. The two men in black also chased in front of them in an instant, skimming the water and going ashore.

Shang Qingtian crossed his arms, hugged him to his chest, took a small step across his legs, stood majestically in front of her, and greeted the man in black.

"Who are you, how dare you stand in my way!" asked a tall, thin, red-faced, neck-length man in black, in a strong voice. I saw that he was holding a halberd in his left hand and his right sleeve was floating in the air, and it turned out to be a one-armed man.

"I am Shang Qingtian, a disciple of Fengming Peak of Qingyang Mountain, and I was about to ask you, who are you? Why did you break into my Qingyang Mountain Water Stream?" Shang Qingtian asked rhetorically.
