Soon after nightfall, the sky was dark.

In the East Valley, buildings stand quietly, casting faint shadows on the ground. There was silence in the heavens and the earth, and everyone seemed to have fallen asleep.

Bian Yao jumped off the bed softly, carefully opened the door, tiptoed to the railing outside the house, glanced at the valley from above, and then walked slowly down the ring stairs.

In this building, he lived on the top floor, while Mu Xiyou lived in the lowest room, and the second and third floors were empty and uninhabited.

"Tuk tuk. Bian Yao stood sideways outside Mu Xiyou's house, raised his hand and gently knocked on the wooden door twice.

"Who?" said a question from inside the room, which was deliberately kept low, followed by the faint sound of footsteps.

After a few breaths, the door was opened open, revealing half of the owner's face.

"You're not a little daring! Come on in. Mu Xiyou was a little surprised, but quickly opened the door.

Bian Yao dodged into the house, and after he closed the door, he asked aloud: "On the way back before, there was something I forgot to ask you. ”

In the faint darkness, Mu Xiyou glanced at him, smiled helplessly, and said: "It's only been a day since you entered the valley, and you ignore the rules of the valley and run the door, if you are caught, we will both be severely punished! ”

"I'll just delay you for a while, and I'll leave after asking. Bian Yao smiled.

"Hurry up, I don't have any time to spend right now. Mu Xiyou hurriedly urged. The battle in the afternoon had almost depleted his spiritual power, so he urgently needed time to recover.

"Regarding the Sword Valley you mentioned, can I go in?"

"I don't know why you care so much about Sword Valley, but I advise you not to enter it for the time being. Mu Xiyou paced to the edge of the shop, sat down on it, and continued: "I don't know whose private rules are, once an outsider steps into the Sword Valley, he must fight with any of the people inside. There are people who don't know the underlying rules, and they walk in because of curiosity, but they are all beaten and bruised and swollen before they are released, and the principal and the teacher don't even ask. ”

Hearing this, Bian Yao was very surprised, and couldn't help but lean against the wall with his arms crossed, lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "Do the people of Sword Valley stay in the valley all day and never come out?"

"Of course not! They are hungry and are going to the orchard. In addition, they will also come out every time there is a 'ten-day war'. ”

Bian Yao was overjoyed when he heard this, and said that as long as the people inside came out, he would have a chance to confirm his conjecture, whether that young sword cultivator was Twilight Song or not?

After thinking about it, he paused, and then asked, "What is the 'Shun War' you are talking about?"

"The Ten Battles are held every 10 days, which is similar to the battle practice every afternoon. It's just that the usual combat cultivation is carried out between the same ranks, but the ten-day battle is to cross the ranks. After Mu Xiyou finished speaking, he let out a painful sigh and said, "It's really terrible! In five days, it will be the tenth battle day, and at that time, you and I will inevitably have to fight against the mid-term dream maniac, and we will be abused again!"

Bian Yao was stunned for a moment, but he didn't take the cross-level battle to heart, but felt that Mu Xiyou's reaction was a bit exaggerated. He subconsciously thought that since the opponent was one level higher than him, it was normal if he couldn't beat him, and the most important thing was that he wouldn't worry about his life, so it wasn't a big deal.

"In this valley, except for the dream king, everyone else is in the dream mad realm?" he suddenly asked a question in his heart.

"Don't count the old people and the teachers in the valley, and the girls in the Valley of Hundred Flowers who specialize in wood healing don't count, the only people you can meet are dream maniacs and sword maniacs. Mu Xiyou hesitated for a moment, and said with a little mystery: "I heard that there is a place called Ghost Valley, and whoever can break through to the Dream King realm is qualified to go there. ”

Bian Yao felt relieved, Mu Xiyou's answer was roughly the same as his conjecture, he didn't care about this by asking, he just wanted to verify the curiosity in his heart. He is not interested in the "Ghost Valley" mentioned by Mu Xiyou.

"There's nothing to ask, right?" Seeing that Bian Yao was silent, Mu Xiyou suddenly stood up and put on a posture of sending off guests.

"Thank you, not for the time being, see you tomorrow, I'll go first. Bian Yao smiled, feeling a little embarrassed.

Back in his house, Bian Yao sat on the soft grass bed against the wall, his heart couldn't calm down for a while, thinking that the new person in the Sword Valley might be Twilight Song, he had an inexplicable joy, and he couldn't wait for the day of the war to come sooner.

Early the next morning, Bian Yao left the house and walked downstairs to find Mu Xiyou waiting for him with the door open.

The two of them went to Yangmu Valley together, and on the way, they inevitably accepted the strange eyes of others.

At the beginning of entering the valley, Bian Yao originally wanted to have a good relationship with the people inside as much as possible, but it backfired. Because of Mu Xiyou's relationship, or those people have a xenophobic mentality, his original idea came to naught after all, because he found that although the eyes cast by those people contained one point of curiosity and two points of envy, the meaning of disgust accounted for seven points.

After yesterday afternoon's battle, all the children of the Mu clan believed that what Bian Yao, a foreigner, relied on was nothing more than spiritual power far beyond ordinary people. This natural advantage, although very enviable, does not make them fearful!

Although the head of the valley had a word in advance, he could only make those Mu clan disciples dare not act rashly against him, and he could not control their emotions.

Inexplicably hated by others, and it's also a group of strangers, a group of people who they originally wanted to get along with. Fortunately, there is still a guy to deal with, and he doesn't have to worry about life being too boring.

Bian Yao thought very openly, he was optimistic and happy by nature, he didn't like to deliberately force everything, and he wouldn't do anything like a hot face and a cold ass at all! Besides, he thought in his heart, anyway, he didn't plan to stay in the valley for long, sooner or later he would leave here and leave Shuxian.

In this case, if you want cold noodles, then you will always be strange!

Even if you have to meet these people every day, or even be hostile to them, so what?

It's just that he can't understand that he is not popular as a foreigner, but why those people are so unfriendly to their fellow clansmen, and it can even be said that they hate it to the point of hatred!

It stands to reason that if Mu Xiyou had really done something that was hated by others, he should have been driven out of the valley a long time ago, how could he continue to stay in the valley. He really wanted to know, what was going on with what Mu Xiyou said?

Judging from Mu Xiyou's initial reaction and attitude, it seems that he does not intend to say this matter in a short period of time. Bian Yao naturally wouldn't stare at it, let alone ask Jiaoxi about this matter, so he was temporarily pressed to the bottom of his heart.

In the morning practice, Bian Yao meditated among those strange trees as usual, just like yesterday.

In the afternoon, he went to Xigu to practice fighting, and Bian Yao ignored the hateful gazes from others, and continued to fight according to what he wanted in his heart.

No matter how suitable it is, it is necessary to familiarize itself with and improve it by relying on the application in actual combat, so that it can gradually improve and give full play to its greatest advantages. He used a war of attrition to delay and defeat both of them without being harmed in the slightest.

During this period, several Mu clan disciples put forward their opinions to the head Mu Qiyuan, hoping to prohibit Bian Yao from using this method of warfare. The reason is that this delaying tactic delays time and is very unfair!

In this regard, the head of the valley just smiled and said, "There is nothing wrong with using one's own advantages to win in battle, and there is no reason to prohibit it! Not to mention that the way of fighting should not be the same, it is reasonable to choose a tactic that suits you as the direction of development!"

The principal's reply, which sounded like favoritism to outsiders, made the other early dreamers except Mu Xiyou feel very dissatisfied, but they were helpless, because they had no way to refute it, and no one dared to question the decision of the head of the valley! But in their hearts, there was more and more resentment towards Bian Yao.

After the battle practice was over, when returning to the East Valley, under the advice and request of Bian Yao, the two of them left the West Valley, turned all the way to the south, bypassed a valley hill halfway, and walked into a narrow unfamiliar valley road.

Sword Valley is located in a corner in the northwest, not far from the West Valley, but it is a bit of a detour.

Unlike other places, there is no stone tablet with inscriptions erected at the mouth of the valley of the sword.

What caught my eye was a huge dark green stone sword, which was inserted vertically in the center of Taniguchi, occupying almost one-third of Taniguchi's width.

Not far from the valley mouth, there was a turn, so I couldn't see the situation in the sword valley.

Bian Yao stopped beside the stone sword, and looked inside for a while, intending to take a chance to enter and explore, but under the persuasion of Mu Xiyou, he had to dispel his thoughts and leave the Sword Valley with some reluctance.

After returning to Donggu, it was already dark, and the two of them spoke briefly and went into the house separately.

In the days that followed, nothing unexpected happened, and everything was business as usual.

In the past few days, through the mouth of Mu Xiyou, Bian Yao has gained a little more understanding of the environment in the valley.

There is a place called the North Valley in the Valley, which leads to the Inner Valley.

All the children of the Mu Clan, whose bloodline has awakened and are no more than twenty years old, have all been locked up in the inner valley to cultivate before they have cultivated to the realm of Dream Mania, and they cannot leave!

There is another Nangu, where all the children of the Mu Clan who have cultivated to the late stage realm of Dream Mania will move there, and their daily cultivation will also be carried out in Nangu. Compared with the early and middle stage dreamers, the number of late-stage dreamers is much smaller, only about 20 people.

In addition, the South Valley is the only entrance to the Outer Valley, and the Outer Valley is one of the most magical and special places in the entire Valley!

Time flies, and four days have passed in a flash, and the day of the war is coming!
