Chapter 208: Shocking Change
In the event of the robbers, Wang Yi had already sent a letter to his home, and dozens of dart masters were ready at the border of Shiguo to ensure that the returning caravan was foolproof. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In Songcheng, Zhou Yingying and He Hua changed into their usual clothes and wore hats to cover their faces.
Gu Qiuyu also wanted to hide her appearance and pretend to be a middle-aged person, naturally she didn't look like it, but she made Zhou Yingying busy left and right, and she was very happy. It's just that Gu Qiuyu always has a big burden behind him, which is packed with a sword box, so that people who know him will be suspicious at a glance.
The three of them first found a small restaurant and ate some things, Gu Qiuyu had been away from Lingzhu Country for almost a year, and now he had eaten a simple and familiar taste, and he was still a little happy in his heart, and then the three of them walked around the city again. Gu Qiuyu borrowed some money from Zhou Yingying and bought some tea and cloth for the people in the valley.
happened to pass by a storyteller's booth on the way, which was about the battle of Autumn Leaves City in which Gu Qiuyu participated.
This is also Zhou Yingying's favorite paragraph, and she hurriedly pulled Gu Qiuyu and He Hua to step forward, listening to the story excitedly.
"In other words, the Qingxuan Seven Swords are fierce and vicious, especially the Star Hanging Sword in front of the little sword fairy, the appearance is even more terrifying, a big face is full of scars, a pair of fangs are an inch long, and they don't wear clothes all year round, only their upper bodies are exposed!"
I saw the storyteller take a sip of water and clear his throat.
The young man below who was about to be fifteen or sixteen years old immediately asked, "Isn't it cold that the Star Hanging Sword is not wearing clothes?"
The storyteller looked at the young man who asked the question, and said mysteriously: "Of course it's cold, who dares not to wear clothes in this cold winter in Shiguo." However, the Star Hanging Sword is different......"
Speaking of this, Mr. Storyteller deliberately paused and sold the guanzi.
"How is it different?"
The people below should ask in kind.
"Because the star hangs down and the sword is roaring, and the whole body is covered with long hair! The black hair is almost catching up with the bear, do you think he can be cold!"
"Hahahaha!"
As soon as Mr. Storyteller said this, there was a burst of laughter below, and Zhou Yingying was also like those teenagers, laughing with flowers.
Mr. Storyteller pressed his hand and continued: "That little sword fairy is also a hero among people, seeing that the Xinghui Sword rushed up like a vicious dog pounced, he was not afraid of danger, and he shouted at the moment, and the flying sword in the sky covered the Xingling Sword together. After three strokes and five divisions of two, the long hair on the body of the Xing Hanging Sword was shaved clean by the little sword fairy, and then the Xing Hanging Sword cried loudly, shouting "Don't fight, don't fight!"
"Why did you throw in the towel? ”
The storyteller laughed, threw the folding fan in his hand into his hand, and said, "Why? The hair on his body is gone, of course it is frozen!"
"Haha......"
There was another deafening laugh below.
Looking at Zhou Yingying again, she was already squatting on the ground with a smile, and tears were about to flow out.
Gu Qiuyu and He Hua glanced at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and pulled out Zhou Yingying, who was still unsatisfied.
Zhou Yingying was reluctant to listen to it for a while, but her strength was not as strong as the two of them, and she was dragged out raw, and that's it, she threw a tael of silver into the bowl in front of the storyteller.
Mr. Storyteller looked at the sudden extra silver in the bowl, and hurriedly put it in his arms, looking at the backs of the three of them leaving, a gleam flashed in his eyes.
"I said Yingying, the party was in front of you that day, if you want to know anything, just ask him, why listen to this story for children. ”
Outside Songcheng, He Hua looked at Zhou Yingying, who looked aggrieved, and smiled.
"I just like to listen to it, and no one will tell me about it. ”
"Let's go, it's not too early. ”
Gu Qiuyu looked at the sky, deliberately diverted the topic, and the angry Zhou Yingying stomped her feet.
On the way, Gu Qiuyu suddenly asked He Hua, "Have you seen the Qingxuan Seven Swords?"
"Yes. ”
"Which one?"
"Sky Breaker. ”
When He Hua said the words Breaking the Sky Sword, his expression was obviously a little moved, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
Gu Qiuyu saw that He Hua didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask much, and began to tell Zhou Yingying carefully about what happened in Autumn Leaf City.
It's just that after listening to it, Zhou Yingying frowned and said: "What, it's not exciting at all, it's much worse than what the storyteller said." ”
After Gu Qiuyu and He Hua heard this, they couldn't help laughing, and the unhappiness on He Hua's face was also dispelled by Zhou Yingying.
He Hua naturally knew that the battle that Gu Qiuyu had experienced was the biggest battle on the rivers and lakes in decades.
It is not about the size of the scale, but about the identity of the people present and the level of the martial arts used, just the ancient Qiuyu Imperial Five Swords can be said to be the first time in a hundred years on the rivers and lakes, and Mo Huan Dazuo is also the first time to officially face the Central Plains martial arts, as well as the mysterious fire resistance technique and Vientiane magic skills.
And the large casualties of Qingxuan are also extremely rare, Gu Qiuyu did not say the tragic situation of the dead at that time, and it is difficult to look back when he thinks about it now.
After buying a donkey in the city and carrying things, the three of them walked towards the direction of the Absolute Dust Valley with a smile and a smile, looking at the familiar scenes, Gu Qiuyu couldn't help but speed up a little and wanted to return to the valley quickly.
Although Xuan Daotian would not like outsiders to come to the valley, Gu Qiuyu knew that he might not be in danger at any time now, and he had to rely on He Hua's protection.
For him, there was no choice in these matters.
But as they walked, the three of them noticed that something was wrong, because when they came to the river, no matter which direction they went, they would eventually return to the same place.
After trying a few times, Gu Qiuyu asked the two of them to stop and rest, and he looked at the things in front of him for a while.
In front of him was a stone forest made of stones, and Gu Qiuyu had never been able to figure out what this stone forest was for.
In my impression, as long as you cross this stone forest, you will see a small river, there is a small boat by the river, and after crossing the river, you will reach the Absolute Dust Valley after walking for a while.
"This stone forest...... Some of them resemble some kind of ecstasy. ”
At this time, He Hua came to Gu Qiuyu's side and reminded him.
"Formation?"
Gu Qiuyu was shocked in his heart, in the ten years in the valley, he had only gone out a few times, and under the leadership of Xiao Ding, he didn't notice any subtleties in this stone forest at all.
After He Hua said this, he remembered what Xiao Ding had said to him that day, and now that he thinks about it, it is a little strange.
That day, Xiao Ding stood in front of the stone forest and said to him and Broken Sword: "You two don't make trouble, follow me!"
Then, Gu Qiuyu recalled in his mind the path that Xiao Ding took the two of them that day, and said to He Hua and Zhou Yingying behind him: "You two follow me closely." ”
Relying on their limited memory, they slowly walked towards the stone forest, and it didn't take long for the three of them to return to their original places.
However, Gu Qiuyu already knew how to go, he had already remembered everything, and walked into the stone forest with his second daughter.
This time, the scene that appeared in front of the three was different from before, and a small river appeared in front of them.
"It's out!"
Gu Qiuyu sighed, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then looked at the reactions of the two daughters were different.
He Hua looked at the stone forest behind him with a puzzled expression, and he didn't know what he was talking about.
And Zhou Yingying glanced at Gu Qiuyu and said, "A broken forest has been walking for so long. You've lived here for 10 years!"
He Hua shook her head at Zhou Yingying, and said lightly: "This formation is so mysterious, it is more refined than our Thunder Fire Hall, if it weren't for Gu Qiuyu to recognize the road, we might not be able to walk for a month." ”
Hearing He Hua say this, Zhou Yingying nodded as if she didn't understand, looked at Gu Qiuyu raised her little neck, and walked towards the river.
"Huh, how is this bloody?"
As soon as the three of them got on the boat, the careful Zhou Yingying found the blood stains on the boat board that had been dimmed.
When Gu Qiuyu heard this, he immediately stepped forward, looked at the bloodstain, and secretly screamed in his heart.
He Hua took out a short knife at this time, scraped the blood stain a little, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and nodded at Gu Qiuyu.
"It's broken! Something happened in the valley!"
Gu Qiuyu hurriedly began to row the boat, although a bloodstain could not explain anything, but he had a very ominous premonition in his heart.
As we reached the other side, this premonition grew stronger, and there were five or six small boats on both sides of the river all year round, but now only one remained, and the rest were gone, except for a few broken planks floating lonely on the water.
The three of them tied up the boat and hurried towards the valley.
At the mouth of the valley, Gu Qiuyu suddenly stopped, his face was full of shock and puzzlement, and muttered, "How can it be like this." ”
I saw the blood at the mouth of the valley, and the stone tablet engraved with the three words of Absolute Dust Valley was now shattered, and the remaining palm prints on it were vaguely seen.
The second daughter behind her didn't know what to say at this time, where was the land of the gods that Gu Qiuyu said in his mouth, they were a battlefield, so she had to follow Gu Qiuyu, who seemed to have lost her soul, and slowly ran towards the valley.
The Absolute Dust Valley, which was originally like a fairyland, is now only the ruins and broken walls in front of you.
Gu Qiuyu flew to the house where he lived at the beginning, but where could he still see any houses, there was only rubble left in more than 20 houses, and dry black blood would be seen on the ground from time to time.
He came to the martial arts training ground again, and saw from a distance that the old camphor tree that had accompanied him for ten years seemed to be cut off by a sword, the tall trunk was horizontal in the center of the field, and the crown of the tree more than three people fell to the ground, the branches were broken, and the leaves had fallen to the ground.
"Master!! Uncle!! Senior Brother!! where are you!!"
Gu Qiuyu shouted hoarsely, shouting, how much he hoped that Xuan Daotian and Xiao Ding would appear in front of him, but all that came was an endless echo.
"Who the hell is it?!"
Gu Qiuyu only felt that the world was spinning at this time, and his whole body had lost his strength, He Hua and Zhou Yingying hurriedly came to his side to support him.
He Hua persuaded on the side: "Let's look for it again, maybe someone survived." ”
Gu Qiuyu nodded, stretched out his hand and pointed to Xuan Daotian's residence, and then walked towards the valley after steady.
At this time, it is spring, and at this time of the year, flowers are in full bloom, and warblers are flying and butterflies are dancing, but now the living scene of Xuandaotian is just like the outside.
The house is still there, but the doors and windows are wide open, and half of the door panels are gone. The clear spring in the courtyard still has water flowing, but it is turbid, the stone pavilion is dumped on the ground, the flower garden is also messy, and even the thousand catties in the courtyard have been cut in half.
Gu Qiuyu came to the fallen Dading, found a clear palm print on it, his eyes became like beasts, and roared: "Qingyun Palm! Qingxuan, it turned out to be your !!" A trace of blood foam spurted out of his mouth.
