Chapter 115, the ruins of the ghost village
It was dusk when the four of them returned to the "Shennong Inn", and it was dinner time.
"Fifth Senior Brother, can you have some wine to relieve your fatigue?" Hua Qinglou asked.
"Xiao Er, what is the best-selling wine here?" Liang Qingshan looked up and asked with a smile.
"'Three Emperors' Wine!" Xiao Er replied.
"This 'three days' is to eat and squeeze the ancient 'Three Emperors'!" Li Qingtong said with a smile.
"Then come to two catties of 'Three Emperors Wine'!" Liang Qingshan said.
After drinking wine, eating dinner, and then soaking in a hot spring bath, most of the fatigue from the bloody battle for most of the day was relieved. But the hour was not too early, and the four of them went back to their rooms to rest.
The next morning, the four of them rode fast horses and galloped westward, seven hundred miles a day, through a heavy green hill and green tent, and came to a valley mouth in the evening. There was a huge village outside the valley, and the four of them got off their horses and came in, but they saw that the doors were closed, and no one came out after knocking for a long time, so they couldn't help but wonder.
"Dare to love this is a ghost village!" Hua Qingtong said.
"What nonsense?" Liang Qingshan reprimanded.
"There is no one who gasps, what is it if it is not a ghost village?" Hua Qingtong pouted in disbelief.
"It doesn't matter if he has anyone or not, let's open a house first and find a warm place to sleep for the night!" Li Qingtong said, opening the rusty door lock of the first house.
Don't look at the Iron General guarding the door, but for them who are cultivators with strong skills, it is not an obstacle at all.
When I entered the courtyard, there was nothing in the courtyard except firewood stacks and stone strips, and I opened the door lock of the main house, but I saw that there was nothing in the room except for stone tables and stone benches, earthen stoves and earth beds. The four of them opened the two next two houses, and they were all the same, and the whole village was like a newly abandoned ruin.
"If you want to eat a hot meal and sleep in a soft bed, can't you?" Liang Qingshan shook his head, taking out the cold and hard dry food from his storage bag and about to nibble on it.
"Fifth Senior Brother, it's not easy to eat hot meals and hot dishes?
After that, he took out pots, spoons, chopsticks from his storage bag, as well as green onions, rice, oil, salt, and a pot of growing bean sprouts.
"Are you really yours?" you brought all of this?" asked her.
"The storage bag that Senior Brother Fifth gave me is the same size as yours, but I don't have any complicated weapons and magic weapons, so I brought some things that I usually eat, and I need them in case of emergency!"
"Seventeen! It's a good feeling to have a sister!" Hua Qinglou smiled comfortably at Li Qingtong.
"Remember to sneak me away in the future!" Meng Jiang said as she looked at the two older children who were a little younger than her. "I'm going to cook!"
The aroma of food wafts from the precincts for a while.
"Let's eat!" Li Qingtong shouted happily, and asked Meng Jiang again, "What kind of good thing is that white porcelain vase in your hand?"
"Prepare fragrant soybean sauce!"
"Hey, even this!" Hua Qinglou said in surprise.
"There's a lot more to it and that's more practical! You'll all see it later. Meng Jiang smiled,
While eating, a middle-aged man with strong bones walked in from the gate, wearing an ordinary blue coarse cloth shirt, with a mustache, and carrying a bamboo basket with a lot of herbs in it.
Finally seeing one alive, Hua Qinglou hurriedly stood up and greeted him.
"This big brother, we came in first without the master's consent, and I apologize to you. Hua Qinglou said politely.
"Oh, the four of you came from afar, right?"
"Exactly, it's not early, I came to the house and wanted to spend the night, and I asked the master's eldest brother to forgive me. ā
"I'm not the master here! I'm a medicine picker in the village outside, and when I pass by this village, I see the smoke curling here, which makes me wonder
, just come and have a look. ā
"We were just going to ask for advice, why is this an empty village?" Liang Qingshan walked over and asked.
The herb picker replied, "Where is this? You see the valley in front of you? It is the famous Spider Valley of this generation, which stretches for hundreds of miles, and there are no people left. ā
Li Qingtong said: "It seems that there is a story! What the hell is going on? ā
"Hey!" the herb picker sighed, "It's a long story......
According to the herb pickers, the Poisonous Spider Valley, formerly known as the Blue Sky Valley, was originally a place with green trees and green mountains, blue sky and clear water, and dense population. About ten years ago, a strange-looking black-clothed Taoist came to him, claiming to be Elder Xianxuan, and brought a group of disciples to raise spiders in the middle of this valley. Someone from the government came to ask, and they said that raising spiders can also spin silk and weave, benefiting the villagers, and the transportation in this mountain is inconvenient, and the population is relatively sparse, so no one has come to ask anymore. Who knew that after three years, the spinning of silk was not successful, but the spiders multiplied in the mountain pass, and these spiders were highly poisonous. Later, the valley was full of poisonous spiders. The villagers reported that no one cared about the county government in the distance, so in order to avoid the poisonous disaster, they had to move away one after another, so that the nearby population was completely moved. In the mouths of people in this area, Bitian Valley has become a poisonous spider valley.
"It's really unreasonable!" Liang Qingshan said hatefully, "It seems that tomorrow we will go into the valley to sweep away the poisonous spiders and eliminate the harm for the people." ā
"I can't help it!" the herb picker hurriedly dissuaded, "That black-clothed Taoist is not only highly skilled, but also knows magic and witchcraft, and there is a group of disciples who follow him to practice the exercises. The county magistrate didn't care about it completely, and on a few occasions he sent troops to surround and suppress them, trying to drive them away, but he couldn't beat them at all. ā
"The generals of the government can't beat them?" Li Qingtong asked in surprise.
"Yes. The man in black who called himself Elder Xianxuan was by no means an idle person, and when he heard that they had later bribed the government with a lot of money, he would not be able to do so. ā
"A bunch of idiots! a bunch of rice buckets! The court has raised them for nothing!" Li Qingtong said angrily.
"By the way, did the four guest officers drink the water in the mountain stream at the mouth of the village?"
"Exactly, could it be that this stream is also poisonous?" Liang Qingshan hurriedly asked.
"I don't know if it's poisonous, anyway, the local passers-by don't drink it now, just in case, I have this kind of water poison grass here, you might as well chew one by yourself." ā
"Thank you, big brother!" After Liang Qingshan waved his hands and thanked him, he took the detoxification grass and chewed it, and everyone also chewed one. The herb picker left some more antidote herbs and took his leave.
After yesterday's battle at Crocodile Beach, Liang Qingshan and Li Qingtong both found that although Meng Jiang had learned some exercises, he didn't know how to fight, and he didn't dare to participate in fighting. After asking, I found out that Wan Qingye only taught her the most basic set of internal strength and mental methods that were semi-public in the cultivation realm, only teaching her how to concentrate on the Tao and how to refine and transform qi, and also taught her a set of the most basic boxing routines, which were also for her to refine her body. Therefore, although Meng Jiang was born with a delicate body, and his cultivation skills had quickly reached the entry level of the second order, he only appeared here.
That night, Li Qingtong was ordered to teach Meng Jiang martial arts tactics, and taught her some combat skills and methods with actual combat significance. One of them taught seriously, the other studied seriously, and they studied until late at night.
The next morning, after a simple breakfast, the four of them rode their horses to the Poisonous Spider Valley, determined to eliminate the spider venom here.
Entering the valley at the beginning, but seeing the green hills on both sides like obstacles, stretching endlessly, the ancient trees on the mountain are towering, the bushes are dense, all kinds of wild vines are even more lingering, it is completely a green world, only the loess mountain road at the foot has been winding inward, covered with countless large and small stones, and also covered with pieces of plantain.
After about two quarters of an hour, a group of men in black emerged from the hillside ahead
, gradually getting closer, but seeing that they all have shaved hairstyles similar to crocodile beach Yujiang. One of the young yellow-faced stunned men, holding a long scimitar, walked in front, and when he saw Liang Qingshan and his group of four galloping on horseback, he shouted: "Who is coming?"
Hua Qinglou rode a horse and walked in the front, and then replied loudly: "Your little grandfather and IāI am a cultivator of Qingyang Mountain, who are you?"
"Haha! It seems that we are fellow Daoists, we are the cultivators of this Blue Sky Valley. My honorable name is Molaheng!"
"Isn't it just a group of Northern Demon Demons, and dare to call themselves cultivators?" Hua Qinglou said with a smile.
"Little white face, are you impatient to live, and dare to speak out at the door of my Bitian Valley?"
"What's the matter with provoking you?" Hua Qinglou replied angrily, jumped off the horse, and stood firmly in front.
"Then I'll meet you, the little Taoist priest of Qingyang Mountain?"
Mora said, raising his knife and slashing at him. Hua Qinglou raised his sword to greet him, but when he heard the crisp sound of "dang", Venus was shining, Hua Qinglou was shocked and numb, and the other party couldn't help but take a step back.
"It's still a little bit of skill! It's much stronger than the previous batches of generals. Come on, come on, I'll fight you for three hundred rounds. Mora screamed.
"It's been a long time since I've been fighting, and my master's hand is raw. I'm going to play with you today!"
Hua Qinglou said as he raised his sword like sweeping the other party's head and neck.
This Mora is not too tall, but he looks sturdy, with a horizontal steel bone, and it looks like a stable steel tower when he goes there, and when he sees the opponent's flying sword sweeping, not only does he not dodge, but stretches out his left hand to block his head. Hearing only a "swoop", the long sword cut through the opponent's sleeve, but apparently did not hurt the opponent.
"Oh, and you still have a blackiron bracer?" said Hua Qinglou.
"What kind of Xuantie bracers? This is the Xuanjin that I have cultivated by practicing the magic ra, and it is not bad!"
Mora Heng said, "hissing" and tore open the black shirt with his hands, revealing the brown and yellow blackened skin.
"Come on, little Taoist, wherever you look, if I frown, I won't be called Molaheng. ā
Hua Qingtong remembered the "ring golden cover" passed to him by the master when he was about to go down the mountain, and recalled the master's words in his ears, "You only need to wear it on one of your fingers and silently recite the secret in your mouth, and it will instantly spread all over your body with your blood, which can be as soft as your skin and flesh, and as indestructible as a steel armor and golden helmet......
Thinking of this, Hua Qinglou silently recited the heart formula of "Ring Golden Cover": "Qianben Yang Dao, Kun is Yin Virtue; The thunder and drums, the wind and rain moisten, the thunder and the wind are thin, and the water and fire are intertwined. The natural qi transforms essence and blood, the five elements respond externally, and the five internal organs are combined. Hundreds of herbs give birth to immortals, hundreds of beasts become demons, fairies are magical, and gods are virtuous. ā
"Little magic, how can it be comparable to my Dahua's Dao Gong Mental Method?
"What are you trying to do?" asked Mora.
"I'll stretch out my neck and let you raise your big knife and slash three times, and if I'm safe and sound, I'll cut you three more times in the neck, what do you think?"
Li Qingtong shouted loudly: "Senior Brother Fifteen!
Liang Qingshan hurriedly shook his hand at Li Qingtong, signaling him not to worry.
Mola Heng raised the big knife and slashed at Hua Qinglou's straight neck, and felt that the knife was as soft and weak as cutting cotton, and finally it rebounded back when it fell into the ground, but it was dull and shiny, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
"Eat me two more times!" Mora shouted loudly and slashed twice in a row, but Hua Qinglou did not move at all, unharmed.
"Devil!" shouted Mora, and fled with the crowd.
