Chapter 53: The Valley of the Gods

The two of them walked along the Dengyun plank road and slowly came to the bottom of the valley.

Standing on the gravel beach by the river, you can really feel that although the river is not wide, the current is rapid, and there are a lot of whirlpools in the middle of the water with white flowers, and there may be a lot of reefs hidden underwater. If you want to swim across, you can't do it.

Not far in front of us is a bungalow, but it is supported by a dozen thick logs, and it is two stories high from the ground, which is supposed to be designed to prevent the river from rising. The two walked up the wooden ladder to the house above, the bungalow is not very large, only about eight or nine square meters, but it feels very strong, the walls are made of wooden planks more than ten centimeters thick, and the roof is also bound with wooden boards, but some gravel and thatch are used to make some camouflage. The wooden house had two doors, one for the two of them, and the other for the river. In the middle of the wooden house is a stout stake with an arm-thick rope attached to it.

Zi He stood at the door facing the river, and once again picked up the purple qi from his fingertips, drawing a pattern in the void, the same as the text pattern that entered the stone wall. After the painting, the palm of the hand was slapped, and the pattern showed its shape and rushed to the other side of the river.

Soon, a star dot lit up on the other side of the river, and then Gu Yunzhe felt the wooden house shake, tied to the thick wooden stake in the middle, slowly turned up, and the rope on it also turned, and soon a suspension bridge rose from the river below.

Under the wooden house, a two-meter-long wooden plank rises from the rotation of the wooden stakes, which is connected to the suspension bridge.

Seeing that the suspension bridge had stopped shaking, Zihe greeted Gu Yunzhe and took the lead in stepping on the wooden plank connecting the suspension bridge. Gu Yunzhe followed behind and also stepped on the plank.

The two ropes of the suspension bridge are connected to the roof of the wooden house, and the dense ropes stretch out under the ropes and are tied to the wooden plank bridge deck below, so that although it is a suspension bridge, it is very stable to walk on it, and the rope connecting the bridge deck can also be used as a grab. It's just that at this time, because it has just been pulled out of the water, the entire suspension bridge is still dripping, and the rope is also wet and cold.

Although the bridge under your feet has just come out of the water, you don't feel slippery when you step on it, and you feel more friction, which is easier to walk than the stone road, and you can see the water flow under your feet from both sides.

The two soon came to the wooden house on the other side of the river, and suddenly someone inside spoke, "What is the reason for visiting late at night?" ”

Zihe said softly, "When you come here, you are a distant friend!"

"Whew", the whole wooden house lit up with white light, Gu Yunzhe looked inside from the wooden door, there were a lot of levers and gears inside, and the layout inside was much more complicated than the wooden house just now, which should be where the mechanism of the suspension bridge is located.

Suddenly, two men flashed out from the door, both wearing trench coats and holding short sticks, but due to the backlight, they couldn't really see how old they were. One of the flat-headed men spoke loudly: "It turned out to be Senior Sister Zihe." Why return to the valley at this time? Who's behind you? ”

Zihe looked at the two people opposite and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Qiuyun, Senior Brother Baitan, I have some urgent matters and need to go back to the valley to report to the valley master." This man is a friend of mine. After speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Gu Yunzhe deeply.

Gu Yunzhe saw the appearance of these two people clearly, they were not very old, but they were both shallow and introverted, calm and relaxed, and had a kind of decent bearing. So he hugged his fists and arched his hands, "Two tall feet, Gu Yunzhe is here to see you!" ”

The other man smiled, "It's easy to say, since you are a friend of Senior Sister Zihe, and you are not an outsider, you can go over." Speaking to Gu Yunzhe, he nodded and said proudly.

With the permission of the disciples on duty, Zihe thanked the two again, and took Gu Yunzhe down the wooden house, and walked along the path made of wooden planks to the doors of the several houses with lights on.

Looking at the somewhat simple houses in front of him, Gu Yunzhe was in a trance, could it be that this is the Valley of the Gods? These houses are a mixed structure of stone and wood, with a simple style and very few patterns. It's as simple as an undecorated billet house, pasted on the inside of the pane with straw paper.

At this time, the two wooden doors in the middle of the house opened silently, and orange light shot out from the house, shining on the two of them, and the figures behind were pulled far away.

"Is Zihe back?" A low, magnetic man's voice emanated from inside the room.

Zihe stood at the door and replied respectfully: "Senior Brother Zhurong, it's me, Zihe." ”

"Come in!"

With the permission of the people in the house, Zihe walked in with Gu Yunzhe. There was not one person in the house, but five people, three men and two women. All five sat cross-legged in front of the mahogany screen in the room. These people are all dressed in Hanfu, and the styles are roughly the same, but the colors are slightly different. There is no furnishings in the house except for a cabinet against the wall. On the right wall there is a door that leads to another room.

Sitting in the center was a middle-aged man, who was smiling at Zihe who walked into the house.

Zihe stood in front of the five people, bowing and greeting one by one, "Senior Brother Zhurong, Senior Brother Shouhua, Senior Brother Zhou Rao, Senior Sister Rongyu, Senior Sister Zhenling." After speaking, he flashed around and asked Gu Yunzhe to step forward and introduce him to the senior brothers and sisters.

After the introduction, Zihe said the purpose of Gu Yunzhe's visit, "Senior brother, Mr. Gu's friend is missing, and he had contact with Senior Brother Wan Futong before his disappearance, so he made a special trip to our Divine Valley to pay respects, inquire about this matter, and ask us to help." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Senior Brother Shouhua immediately spoke, "Mr. Gu, then you should know where Wan Futong is." Can you let us know in advance? ”

Gu Yunzhe smiled slightly, "That's nature." Whether that person is your junior brother Wan Futong, I'm not sure. However, I knew that the man had been captured by the Spirit Hunting Garrison, and I did not know where he was being held. However, I can help you consult with them. ”

Shouhua smiled, "It seems that Mr. Gu is very familiar with the people of the Hunting Spirit Garrison." I've heard that they are all proud disciples of various sects, and they have miraculous abilities. And those people are very unscrupulous, and they are proud. Mr. Gu must not be an idle person. After speaking, Pi stared at Gu Yunzhe without smiling.

Zihe stood next to him and frowned, wanting to speak, but was stopped by Shouhua's sharp eyes.

Gu Yunzhe also felt that in the words of this senior brother Shouhua, there was a hint of wit and some provocation. I guessed that there must have been some holiday between Kamiya and the Spirit Hunting Brigade, and I thought of Jiang Huaishan's mysterious smile when he caught that young man. Secretly sighed that he was too dull, and at that time he should have thought that the two families must be opposites. At this time, he ran into someone's hand, although he only represented himself, but the other party didn't necessarily think so. "I've been practicing magic for a while, so it's just getting started." What he said is indeed the truth, what he is practicing now is still the introductory exercises of that set of techniques, according to Wucai, he is still at the stage of inducing qi into the body, but with the three yuan initiates, his strength is equivalent to the Jindan realm.

Shouhua stood up, his face was solemn, his right hand was on his left hand, and he shook a bow salute representing the challenge, "In this case, can I ask Mr. Gu for his magic skills." ”

Zihe couldn't sit idly by anymore, after all, Gu Yunzhe was brought in by himself, and he couldn't let others see his jokes, saying that the people of Shengu had small stomachs, "Senior Brother Zhurong, Senior Brother Shouhua, Mr. Gu just came to ask, and he didn't have any intention of being an enemy of Shengu." I also asked Senior Brother Shouhua to take back his life. ”

"Senior Sister Zihe is too worried, we are cultivating in the mountains and do not communicate with the outside world. Although there have been several encounters with the Spirit Hunting Brigade, after all, it is only a glimpse of the leopard in the tube, and the whole picture is not seen. Look at this Mr. Gu's dignified body and dignified appearance. The eyes are cold and starry, and the eyebrows are like lacquer. The breath is smooth and the divine light is restrained. Seeing that we are neither humble nor arrogant, we have the demeanor of a general. There must be something extraordinary that can satisfy our thirst for knowledge. Zhu Rong didn't speak, and Senior Sister Rongyu, who was sitting next to him, said unhurriedly.

Zihe still wanted to argue, but Gu Yunzhe patted her on the shoulder and stopped her.

"At this point, I can't shirk it. Then please ask this senior brother Shouhua to raise your noble hand when the time comes, and the point will be reached. Gu Yunzhe put the backpack behind the door, and handed the flower stick to Zihe for safekeeping.

Shouhuaying walked out, stretched out his hand, made a word of invitation, and came to the room next to him.

This room was surprisingly large, far beyond what you could see from the outside. The roof is very high, there are some weapon shelves around it, and although the ground is paved with stones, there are some cracks in some places, which are obviously caused by practice.

Neither intended to use their weapons and stood in the middle of the house.

Suddenly, Shouhua took the lead in moving, and instead of making a move, he began to circle around Gu Yunzhe. And Gu Yunzhe also followed his movements, turning his body in place.

Just as he was halfway through the circle, Shouhua raised his right leg and kicked the outside of Gu Yunzhe's left knee. And Gu Yunzhe lifted his left leg lightly and used his calf to catch Shouhua's foot.

"Smack!" The blow was closed, and then Shouhua quickly slapped Gu Yunzhe's neck again, and was opened by Gu Yunzhe with his hand, and just withdrew his hand, his right fist struck again.

The two of them quickly closed and fought quickly, and in just a few minutes, they exchanged dozens of moves, no matter how good they were.

Gu Yunzhe is getting smoother and smoother, and the short time of fighting in Yanggu has made him quite experienced, and he is more familiar with those two sets of punches and feet. When I was at home, the old monk was on the side, and when I was fine, I practiced a few times, and I also drew inferences from one another and put forward some of my own opinions, and the old monk listened to it and was even more pleased. Especially in the last few times, he relied on his physical advantages to speed up the speed of the drill infinitely, in the eyes of ordinary people, like the superposition of film in the movie, seeing countless people making moves at the same time, it made the old monk dazzled.

And Shouhua is bigger and more ugly, Gu Yunzhe's body is like iron and stone, and his hands and feet are sore, and he has to speed up his fist speed, wanting to increase his advantage with fast fighting. Unexpectedly, Gu Yunzhe was able to accurately defend and fight back. What made him even more stressed was that Gu Yunzhe's fist style actually contained the sound of wind and thunder, which made his breathing blocked.

Shouhua didn't want to lose, so he shouted and made a few quick moves, jumped out of the circle, and took a deep breath, "Mr. Gu, the kung fu of your hands and feet is good." I don't know what the attainments of weapons are. After speaking, without waiting for Gu Yunzhe to agree, he quickly took out a long stick from the shelf next to him and returned to its original position.

Gu Yunzhe sighed secretly, and did not take the flower stick handed over by Zihe, but wiped it from his waist, and held a long whip in his hand.

Shouhua saw Gu Yunzhe's long whip and regretted it a little, because the long whip was a little too long, a lot longer than his own long stick, and there was a metal tip at the end of the whip, flashing with cold light. However, since you challenge yourself first, if you are timid on the spot, you will inevitably make the other party laugh, and you will also make your brothers laugh. Thinking of this moment, he shouted loudly and rushed forward with a stick.

And the reason why Gu Yunzhe sighed secretly was because his whip method was derived from an inexplicable and wonderful memory, just like he was a good whip in his previous life. If it weren't for that, the twin whips wouldn't have been conjured up at that time. At this time, although this long whip is not spiritual, but he has also used that set of whip methods to practice, and the old monk has come to the conclusion that he has come to the conclusion that "Thunderbolt Wushuang" is four words. The explanation he gave was that this long whip was not an ordinary weapon, and some spiritual power was hidden in it, not possessing fire and water, and not afraid of sharp blades. The old monk admired the whip method, although it is also throwing, winding, splitting, discing, hitting these tricks, but there are strange changes in the secret, so that the move has to be the first opportunity, if there is no killing machine, the winner is judged. If you bring a killing machine, you will be tempted to ask for your life at that time.

Seeing Shouhua rushing with a stick, he flicked the long whip lightly and lifted it from the bottom up. The golden tip of the whip hit Shouhua's throat directly!
