Chapter 55: Valley of the Holy Spirit (I)

South Vietnamese border city, Nan'an.

In the damp and gloomy cave, a shirtless man with a lifelike green snake tattooed on his strong arm.

At this moment, he sat cross-legged in the cave with his eyes closed, and a bronze incense burner was placed at his feet, and green smoke drifted out of the incense burner and swirled in the cave.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the green smoke was blown away.

The sturdy man opened his eyes, opened his mouth wide, and spit out two spirits, which were the missing Bian Wuchang and Deng Yu.

The man looked at the spirits floating in the air, smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and wiped his forehead, and a blood-red beam of light enveloped the two spirits in it. The spirit, whose eyes had been closed, suddenly opened its eyes and looked around in horror.

They found a sturdy man sitting on the ground cultivating.

Although they have become spirits, they still have the ability to resist. But for some reason, after being shrouded in that blood-red light, they lost their ability to move.

The two spirits glanced at each other, both with confused expressions in their eyes.

"Don't bother, you can't escape, as long as you cooperate with me well and make me satisfied, I will let you go" The sturdy man stood up and looked at the spirit trapped in the red light.

"Who are you? Why am I going to arrest us? Deng Yu asked.

"You don't need to know who I am, if you are willing to cooperate, you don't have to bother me, you think about it, tell me your decision when I come back......" The sturdy man walked to the entrance of the cave, whistled, a fierce tiger walked over slowly, the man glanced at the tiger, and said coldly: "Put away the entrance to the cave, wait for me to come back......"

The man then vanished into thin air.

In Nan'an City, Zhao Xuan, Huang Bailing and Sun Wuji walked into an inn.

A bewitching woman dressed strangely walked over and asked something in a language that Sun Wuji couldn't understand, Huang Bailing said a few words in the same language, and the woman smiled wickedly and walked away. When he left, he didn't forget to give Sun Wouji a wink.

Sun Wuji was a little embarrassed and picked up the tea on the table and poured it violently. Zhao Xuan and Huang Bailing, who watched it, laughed for a while.

"Brother Sun, follow the customs, you are a big man, what is there to be reserved?" Zhao Xuan said with a smile.

Huang Bailing glanced at his cousin and sneered: "Do you like this?" ”

"Cousin! You have wronged me, your cousin and I are talented, how can I find a lady, I can't look down on such a market woman......"

"How old are you? Aren't you such a market woman? Huang Bailing sneered.

Zhao Xuan smiled and stopped talking.

"Senior Sister Huang, where are the same disciples you are talking about?" Sun Wuji asked.

"We'll go find him after eating......" Huang Bailing said softly.

The charming woman served the meal, put her slender hands on Sun Wouji's shoulders, pressed her round breasts against Sun Wouji's back, and whispered a word in Sun Wouji's ear.

Sun Wuji's ears were hot, the hand holding the water cup was trembling, his whole body was like an electric shock, crispy and numb, and he wanted to dodge, but was stopped by Zhao Xuan with his eyes.

Not only did the woman not restrain herself, but she gently stroked the back of Sun Wouji's hand with her hand even more, and after a long time, seeing that Sun Wouji was indifferent, she left in a huff.

The brother and sister laughed again, leaving Sun Wuji confused. I wonder if this barbarian woman is so open?

"What did she just say?" Sun Wuji asked in a low voice.

Zhao Xuan glanced at his cousin, approached Sun Wuji and whispered, "She asked if you have married a wife and had children?" Do you want to stay and be her husband......"

Sun Wuji lowered his head shyly and silently picked up the rice in his mouth. What lingers in my mind is the feeling of two soft lumps on my back, and the tingling feeling of those cold hands on my shoulders.

On the outskirts of Nan'an, in a bamboo forest, by a small lake on the edge of the grass house, an old man with gray hair held a fishing rod in his hand, staring intently at the float on the water.

The verdant new bamboo is reflected on the water, and the sky and the earth are verdant.

The old man's right hand holding the fishing rod stretched out straight out, not moving. Time passed minute by minute, and there was no movement in the float, but the old man still maintained his original movement. For ordinary people, even if they don't have the seven-meter-long fishing rod in their hands, they can't hold on for a quarter of an hour if they stretch it out so flat.

The old man sat quietly for a long time, until the sound of footsteps sounded behind him, and his body moved slightly. It's just that the right hand holding the rod has always been stretched out.

"Senior brother, do you still have time to fish?" Huang Bailing walked behind the old man and asked softly.

The old man looked back and smiled, and said with a kind smile: "Little junior sister, you are here!" ”

The old man moved his gaze to Zhao Xuan and Sun Wuji behind Huang Bailing, and nodded with a smile.

Sun Wuji clenched his fists, and Zhao Xuan bent down to show his salute.

Suddenly, the old man's face was happy, and the fishing rod in his hand was raised, and a golden carp was pulled out of the water, plopping and struggling a few times, and wanted to run into the water, but failed.

The old man pulled the fish ashore and said with a smile: "I've waited for three months, and I'm finally waiting for you......"

The carp was lying on the ground, with its mouth wide open, and his face was not convinced, and the old man took off the hook and said to the three of them with a smile: "You have a blessed mouth......

"Senior brother, we're not here to eat fish, where are the strange beasts?" Huang Bailing asked.

"Come on, come on, take a handle and kill the fish......" The old man didn't care about the anxious Huang Bailing, looked at Zhao Xuan behind Huang Bailing and said, "Why are you stunned, help......"

Zhao Xuan nodded, went up and took the golden carp in the old man's hand, and looked at it in a daze, not knowing what to do.

"The knife is in the house, braised or steamed, you look at it......" The old man didn't treat Zhao Xuan as an outsider at all, and Zhao Xuan could only hold the fish into the grass house.

"This Daoist brother, is Wudang here also for the sake of foreign beasts?" The old man threw the rod back into the water.

Sun Wuji took two steps forward, hugged his fists and said, "Brother Dao, I want to go to the Valley of the Holy Spirit here......

Hearing the three words of the Holy Spirit Valley, the old man paused, and after a while, he twisted his beard and said: "The Holy Spirit Valley is not something you can go to if you want to, I think you are only the third order of the Venerable Realm, and going to the Holy Spirit Valley is a dead end......"

"It's about the innocence of one of my senior brothers, even if I die, I have to ......" Sun Wuji was not afraid, and was resolute and decisive.

The old man smiled and said, "In this case, I won't say more, it knows the route to enter the Valley of the Holy Spirit, so let it accompany you!" May you return safely......"

The old man snapped his fingers, and a golden monkey jumped out of the bamboo forest, squeaked a few times, and looked curiously at a man and a woman standing behind his master.

"Little ape, you take them to the Valley of the Holy Spirit, and when you come back, I will reward you with a banana...... the old man said lightly.

The golden haired monkey threw his hand at the old man, and then squeaked and walked up to Sun Wouji, stretching out a furry hand, Sun Wouji subconsciously stretched out his hand, and one person and one monkey shook hands, which was very funny.

Huang Bailing snorted out laughing and said, "Senior brother, your consciousness is that I also have to go to the Valley of the Holy Spirit?" ”

The old man asked rhetorically, "Master, didn't he tell you?" That strange beast is the taming beast of the ghost clan in the Holy Spirit Valley, they must have a plan when they come out of the valley, you have to investigate it clearly......"

"Senior Brother Sun's Venerable realm is dangerous, I'm only a fifth-order master, so you're not afraid that you won't be able to see me?" Huang Bailing frowned.

"Life and death are fate, if you really die, it means that you have this calamity, people will always be separated, if you can't see it, it can only mean that the fate between us has come to an end......" The old man understated.

"Here comes the fish!" Zhao Xuangang walked out of the grass house with the prepared fish, only to feel a golden light flashing in front of him, and the fish in his hand was gone.

Zhao Xuan, who didn't know what was going on, looked at his empty hands in a daze, and before he could say anything, a golden retriever monkey put the fishbone in his hand, squeaked twice, jumped on a bamboo, and swinged.

Zhao Xuan walked up to Sun Wuji and asked in a low voice, "Is that a monkey?" ”

Sun Wuji nodded.

"This is not an ordinary monkey, it is a spirit monkey who knows yin and yang, distinguishes between good and evil, and detects good and evil, and can save ......lives when it is critical," the old man explained.

Huang Bailing said with some grievances: "Senior brother, do you have to go?" ”

The old man was indifferent.

"Senior Sister Huang, you and Brother Zhao are waiting here for me to come back, I will help you investigate about the strange beast" Sun Wuji saw Huang Bailing's hesitation.

"Senior sister, since the master is relieved to let you go down the mountain, he has his own reasons, you can rest assured to go, it will be fine, as long as this matter is done, the master may pass on your "Yin Fu Sutra" The old man said lightly.

Huang Bailing said reluctantly: "Okay! ”

The three of them took the golden monkey straight to the 100,000 mountains.

With the spirit monkey leading the way, they walked all the way very fast, and they had already penetrated into the 100,000 mountains in half a day.

After walking for most of the day, Zhao Xuan was a little physically exhausted, so he proposed to rest on the spot and wait until dawn before walking, it was very unsafe to walk at night in the mountains and forests.

Sun Wuji agreed, and Huang Bailing looked at the surrounding environment and found a place where the trees were relatively sparse.

Sun Wuji found some firewood and was about to make a fire, but was stopped by Zhao Xuan, "Brother Sun, you can't light a fire in the mountain......"

Sun Wuji was puzzled: "The humidity in this mountain is too big, there is no fire, the moisture enters the body, and you will get sick......

Zhao Xuan said: "Don't worry, you have soaked in a medicinal bath, these moisture can't hurt you, ignition will attract beasts in the mountains, and it will be more dangerous at that time......"

The golden monkey jumped up a tree, swayed from tree to treetop, and disappeared in a few moments.

The three of them sat for a while, Zhao Xuan's strength recovered, he stood up and walked to the side, went around the place where the three of them were, and sprinkled some powder within a radius of ten steps, and when he came back after sprinkling, Sun Wuji was puzzled: "What are you scattering?" ”

"To repel poisonous insects, centipedes, scorpions, poisonous snakes and the like are indispensable in this mountain, with these medicinal powders, they dare not approach" Zhao Xuan said with a smile.

Sun Wuji understood why there were no snakes, rats, insects, ants and the like in the place where Zhao Xuan was found that day, it turned out to be the effect of medicinal powder.

After a while, a little yellow bird chirped and landed on Sun Wouji's shoulder.

When Zhao Xuan saw the bird, he came up and asked, "You raised this?" ”

"Well, I caught it in the mountains last time" Sun Wuji reached out and touched the little yellow bird's head.

"No wonder I always saw him wandering in the yard during the days when you lived in my house, I thought he was here to steal rice to eat" Zhao Xuangang stretched out his hand and was about to touch the little yellow bird, and the little yellow bird fluttered and flew away.

Huang Bailing has been closing his eyes and recuperating.

Zhao Xuan and Sun Wuji chatted with each other, and the humidity around them became heavier and heavier. However, Sun Wou-Ki found that the moisture really didn't seem to enter his body this time.

After a while, Zhao Xuan snored.

Sun Wuji quietly got up, stared at the extremely dark forest, and thought of Senior Brother Zhang who was trapped in the jade mirror and lost his freedom.

The last time they went down the mountain to practice, the two traveled together, east to the East China Sea, north to the grassland, all the way to find immortals and imitate the road, kill demons and demons, extremely comfortable.

This year, he is the only one left, no matter what, he has to find out the origin of the Gu worm and clear up the grievances for Senior Brother Zhang.
