Falling Dust Valley, the top of the southern country, is in the spring, the mountains are green, and a full of air runs through the earth.

Ling Baoxiao stood up from the big chair in the middle of the wide marble square, took two steps forward, and his voice spread again, " Now let's talk about the rules specifically, originally we were going to cut down and transport the specified amount of timber to the designated place in the shortest possible time as the basis for the winners, but later we felt that the endurance of the contestants was also tested to a certain extent in the competition of the Yuan Yuan, so we set an hour this time, the person who cut down the least amount of wood will be eliminated, and there will be no reward for the most, but I hope everyone will use their own strength, this is also a preparation for the Yuan Yuanhui, and we need as much wood as possible, so we don't have to worry about the woods。 ”

After these words, there was a whispering sound underneath, after all, the rules of this competition were unprecedented, and it was not uncommon for the disciples to discuss it, so Ling Baoxiao was not angry, just smiled and looked at the expressions of the Ling Sect disciples, and then slowly continued: " The location of our competition this time is the woods in the mountains behind the Falling Dust Valley and the square here, and someone will mark a place for wood in this square in a while, and I also ask the disciples of each sect not to affect the competition of the players in the marking area, and if there are any disciples who violate the rules, they will be expelled from the door immediately!"

The last sentence obviously caused a sensation, it seems that this competition is very important, and you can't enter the marking area during the game, whether it affects the players or not, it will definitely be maliciously planted by other disciples. As a result, many disciples looked around looking for disciples who did not have a good relationship with them or had a holiday, sweating profusely and being very nervous.

Ling Baoxiao glanced back at Huo Bochang and Tan Longxi, saw that their expressions were natural, and there was no objection, and continued: "Of course, the timber transported here in the competition also has strict requirements, not casually, each piece of wood must be one foot and five feet long, clean in appearance, and must be broken from the roots, and the roots and whiskers cannot be carried, the top and roots of the wood must be polished and smooth, and the quality and thickness of the wood are not required." If there is any timber that does not comply with the rules, it will not be counted in the overall score. In addition, the trees in the back mountain are vast, so you have a limited area to mark the line, and if the wood rolls out of the line area, it will not be counted in the score. ”

Everyone naturally sighed about the strictness of the competition, but they didn't really worry about it, because it wasn't them who were competing, they were just watching the excitement, and it wasn't their business whether the disciples in the sect were embarrassed or not, originally they were not very valued in the door, so they could take this opportunity to straighten their waists. Of course, these people are only some of them, and there are many people who have a good relationship with the participating disciples, and they are secretly cheering for them, and beads of sweat will appear in their palms from time to time.

"Although this competition is a primary selection, the rules of the competition are also very strict, which is a big test for all the contestants, and if you can't pass this test, then you will not be able to gain a foothold in the fierce struggle of the Yuan Zhihui. Now that I've talked about the specifics of the preliminary round, I'd like to ask the other two leaders in the valley to say a few words as well. Ling Baoxiao retreated and motioned for Huo Bochang to go up and say a few words.

Huo Bochang looked solemn and stepped forward, the old man was not inferior to the masculine Ling Baoxiao in terms of the loudness of his voice, as if he was secretly competing with him, "Disciples of Falling Dust Valley, although only a few of you are participating in this competition, it is of great significance, you also have to learn from it, maybe there will be a chance for you to show it at any time." In addition, as the law enforcement manager of Falling Dust Valley, I also want to put forward a rule for this competition, that is, you can't deliberately hurt people in the competition, if there is such a disciple, he will be disqualified immediately. When he saw that the disciples were talking again, he said sharply: "Everyone also knows that this competition is nine into eight, and if one person is disqualified, there is no need to compete again." But in order to demonstrate the discipline of Falling Dust Valley, it must be so!"

Lian Shuo under the high platform snickered: "Master is really good-looking, at this time, he has to reveal his position as 'law enforcement manager', and he can't deliberately hurt people, he is really worthy of his position!" In fact, Lian Shuo didn't know that Huo Bochang's words were all for him.

Seeing Huo Bochang retreat, Tan Longxi got up autonomously, took two steps, cleared his throat, and his already sharp voice became even more harsh, "I won't say anything else, I hope the participating disciples will show their abilities! Don't hide it, they are not outsiders, just show your hand to the same disciples." ”

After the speeches of the several masters, many disciples were already tired of standing, and they suddenly realized in their hearts: it turned out that the master asked him to bring rations because the speech was too long.

Fortunately, Ling Baoxiao sympathized with the disciples in the valley and prepared more than 1,000 small stools for them to sit and watch the game. There is another point that was not mentioned just now, that is, you can watch the game on the road from the back mountain to the square, but you are not allowed to participate in the game, I have sent nearly a hundred elders in the valley to supervise you, if there is a violation, the same as the above rules, immediately expelled from the Valley of Falling Dust. ”

The disciples who originally thought that the speech was finally finished were sighing again, only those elders who had gone through the last Yuan Meeting, were relatively calm, with natural faces, and looked like they were listening to the speech seriously, but in fact, the spirits had long since flown away.

The venue was set up for nearly an hour, and the game finally began......

The disciples of Lingmen are the eldest disciple Ying Wei and Xiaofeng Tianyuan;

Huomen's disciples are the eldest disciple Han Mo, Chu Tiankuo, and the younger disciple Lian Shuo;

The disciples of Tanmen are the eldest disciple Chaofei and Qiuji Han Xu.

Nine people rushed from the end of the Yuan Peak Square to the back mountain, among which Ying Wei was far ahead, Tianyuan was in hot pursuit, and most of the other disciples could keep up with the speed of the public, the only one who was lagging behind was ......

"Lian Shuo, you big idiot! You won't run faster! Everyone is here!" The person who spoke was Jing Xuan, a female disciple of the Ling Sect, although her name was extremely quiet, but her personality was extremely spicy, and she often mingled with Lian Shuo.

Although the rules of the valley in the Falling Dust Valley are strict, there are also many female disciples, and there are many disciples of the Ling Sect, and there are naturally many female disciples.

Lian Shuo made a grimace at Jingxuan, smiled and deliberately slowed down, and scolded: "Hot girl, let you scream hotly! The more you call me, the more unhappy I am!"

Jingwan said angrily: "You can do whatever you like, it's better to run backwards, it has nothing to do with me anyway." ”

At this time, Jingwan was running with Lian Shuo, who knew that when Lian Shuo heard this, he actually stopped and ran backwards. Jingwan was so anxious that she was about to burst into tears, she caught up with Lian Shuo backwards, pulled his arm, and said in a crying voice: "Good Lianshuo, good Lianshuo, you run quickly, if you are eliminated, I will never play with you again in the future!"

Lian Shuo grinned and said, "Actually, I will." ”

After speaking, he stepped on his feet, rose into the air, and gradually disappeared......

The bright moonlight sprinkled on the long back valley path of the Falling Dust Valley, as if the earth had asked the sky for a thin veil to cover its original ugliness and set off its own unique beautiful brilliance.

Lian Shuo couldn't help but think of the scene under the moonlit night when he fought the four-tailed demon wolf with Ziling, remembering it from time to time, exhilarating from time to time, and sighing from time to time.

The moonlight gently caressed Lianshuo's hairline, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of warmth in his heart.

He looked in the direction of the forbidden land, and always felt a powerful force attracting him to the forbidden land, making him want to stop.

He had been out of the valley for a few months, but he was very different from before he came out of the valley, and now he was surprisingly calm, he looked at a boulder at the mouth of the forbidden land, on which were engraved two big red characters, "forbidden land".

There are two such forbidden places in the Falling Dust Valley, this is the first, not far from the end of the Yuan Peak, and there is no one to handle it. But the second forbidden place is different, it is in the most remote southwest corner of the Falling Dust Valley, it is eerie and terrifying, few people go there, and even the Falling Dust Valley itself only sends dozens of disciples to garrison twenty miles away every month, not daring to get too close. It is estimated that no one will go to such a second forbidden place if no one is stationed there, and people with great curiosity like Lian Shuo will also stay away and don't even think about it.

The forbidden place he went to last time was the one in front of him, there was plenty of spiritual energy in it, all kinds of plants were very lush, many rare species could be found in it, and the range was also very large, probably occupying a radius of a hundred miles. It can be described as a very spectacular view, which is comparable to a scenic spot.

But this place is not allowed to enter, do you say that people are angry or not?

But it also speaks for itself: there must be a secret here!

The last time I went there I didn't have any purpose, I just wanted to see what was strange inside, but I only saw a few wild rabbits with wings and an ancient tree as huge as a mountain. I didn't see anything else.

Now he wants to go in again, the purpose is naturally not to satisfy his inner curiosity about new things, mainly because he found that the aura inside is very different from the outside world, and it is a little similar to the aura of the Medicine King Gu Tianchi, but it feels very different.

Lian Shuo still knows too little about this world, and he will feel very new about everything that is normal, let alone such a very strange place.

So, he walked in.

There was no one around, and Lian Shuo calmly walked in with a slight snoop with his weak divine sense. In fact, he didn't even need to snoop around, and if anyone really wanted to spy on him, he would never be able to find out easily.

Flowers are open, red flowers, white flowers, purple flowers. The stars twinkled, red stars, yellow stars, white stars.

Lian Shuo found that on the trunk of the pine tree, there was a small yellow-brown vine entangled, and the vine had no leaves, only clusters of small flower buds, swaying in the wind, with a pitiful and charming smell.

The catkins flew, the elm money fell, the butterflies and the spring petals that fell to the ground said goodbye, and the pea flowers turned into fat green pods.

This night did not have the feeling of night at all, through the hazy moonlight, Lian Shuo enjoyed this world that belonged to him alone.

Lian Shuo looked up at the starry sky, took a long breath, and slowly exhaled it, he was indeed a little tired these days. Fiddling with those exercises, mental methods, and methods all day long, I feel uncomfortable.

Even if he couldn't get anything in this forbidden land, he would have to stay inside for a while, because the outside world, even the territory of the Falling Dust Valley, was extremely noisy and chaotic, and this pure land in the forbidden land was not the habitat of his soul.

He stood for a long time, and finally came down on his knees, ready to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and try to practice.

At this time, a strange thing happened, he involuntarily carried it, his body was instantly filled with aura, the tiredness of the past few days on his body disappeared at once, Lian Shuo felt extremely relaxed, he couldn't help but smile, and thought: I can't imagine that this can have such a relationship with this forbidden land, is it here that the Loose Half Immortal realized?

Lian Shuo didn't have time to think about it, because cultivating the mind method is a long-term way, and this night is incomparably short, and it is possible for the sun to rise in the blink of an eye, and it will be easy to be discovered in the forbidden place at that time.

Lian Shuo adjusted his mind, tried to calm his mind as much as possible, seized the time to luck the dantian, and re-lucked it, and after the body became relaxed again, he silently recited the method again, and began to close his eyes and comprehend the way of heaven.

Each of these tips is comprehended in the sun and the moon, not in a vacuum, Lian Shuo feels that it is better to understand it than to repeatedly use the rest of others.

In a matter of moments, Lian Shuo had already run the recipe for a week, and he felt good. But when he ran on the second Sunday, it was difficult, and every time the breath in his body flowed, he felt like his muscles and bones were broken. He endured it for three weeks, and then he was in no mood to continue practicing.

Originally, when he ran the method in his residence, he could easily run it for seven weeks a day, but in this place full of aura, he was panting, sweating profusely, and every joint ached. This is a feeling that he has never felt before when he practices many mental methods, as if he will just feel tired and tired, like it will make people comfortable and relaxed, not to mention any pain.

Maybe it's because this Fallen Dust Valley is different!" he thought.

He slowly stood up, stretched his waist, and took out the green bamboo from his waist that he had brought from the red bamboo forest.

This green bamboo is indeed ordinary and unusual, but Lian Shuo cherishes it very much, because it is the first meaningful thing he gets when he comes out of the valley, and he wants to keep it well. He was a nostalgic man, and although he was not yet young, he already had the habit of collecting small objects and keeping diaries, and he explained every time to his brother who asked him curiously: "Man's destiny is destined. Maybe I'll die at some point, I'm afraid that I'll forget the good past in the human world when I get to the ghost world. ”

Originally, he didn't know what the ghost world was like, but since he saw the ghost doctor and ghost monk in the Medicine King Valley, he guessed what the ghost world looked like based on their appearance.

Because their faces were a little dark, revealing a cold and gloomy cold, Lian Shuo thought that the ghost world was dark and cold, and there was no sunlight all day long. But the character of the ghost doctor is still very gentle, which makes Lian Shuo like it very much, so Lian Shuo feels that the ghost world must be the same as the world, there are good people and bad people, and there must be a clear distinction between good and evil, warmth, beauty, angels, and out-of-the-world masters.

The green bamboo emitted a faint cyan shimmer in the moonlight, and Lian Shuo tossed it into the air, quietly watching it spin in the starlight.

Boom -

A heavy muffled sound echoed in the air......

Lian Shuo immediately retracted the green bamboo and looked around alertly, he was worried that someone had discovered his whereabouts, and after thinking about it, if his whereabouts were discovered, he would not use such a loud noise to scare himself!

He wondered why the people in the Valley of Falling Dust didn't hurry over when they heard the loud noise.

A cup of tea has passed, but still no one comes.

Lian Shuo looked at the starry sky in confusion, as if the deep starry sky was the source of everything.

Suddenly, a brilliant colored light spread out in the starry sky......

Lian Shuo felt a powerful air current rushing towards him, and he decided to follow the direction of the air flow to take a look. Whether it's for his curiosity or for the safety of Falling Dust Valley, he wants to go.

He adjusted the flow of air in his body and took a few deep breaths.

After calming down, with a touch of wrist, a green green bamboo appeared in his hand, clenched it with one hand, and rushed away with an arrow step, leaving only a vague figure
