Chapter 11: Wolf Valley

Xu Chen was a little excited, although he had never been to the Wild Wolf Valley, he had also heard of it in the mountains, it was a place of loose cultivation and trading not far from Nanyang City, and there were folk monks who gathered there all the year round to trade some immortal cultivation items, elixirs, spiritual materials, pills, magic weapons, exercises and even some things of inexplicable origin.

However, that place is still dozens of miles away from Nanyang City, and it is located in a canyon, surrounded by a large number of wild wolves and fierce beasts, and even occasionally demon beasts, so ordinary mortals cannot get close, only those people who are strong in martial arts and immortal cultivators who are high in the sky can enter.

The three of them left the city together, and then Edgeworth soared into the air, and soon entered the mountains, and after flying over two ridges in succession, it only took a moment before and after, and in front of them, they saw a steep canyon like a gate, and in the surrounding primeval dense forest, you could hear the roars of wild wolves one after another.

Senior Brother Nine and Zhao Xuan were very familiar with this place, and with a greeting, they plunged into the valley with a slight touch of their feet, and Xu Chen rode a flying sword and staggered to follow.

Soon the three of them passed through the narrow and steep valley, and the front was much more open, only to see a waterfall hanging at the end of the canyon a few miles away, and a stream meandering out of the valley like white silk, and in the middle of the valley, there was a riverbank with empty trees, and more than a dozen thatched huts were scattered among them, and some people seemed to be sitting on the ground and setting up stalls to trade.

Seeing another immortal sword coming, there was a burst of lively cheers in the valley.

When the three of them landed, two middle-aged men in Taoist robes soon greeted them with a smile on their faces and saluted: "It turned out that the three Taoist friends from Taiyuan Gate came, and they were not welcomed. ”

Senior Brother Jiu smiled and nodded to say hello, and introduced Xu Chen and the two of them to each other, it turned out that these two were the leaders of the Wild Wolf Valley, one was Ouyang Ping, the master of the Second Valley, and the other was Li Gui, the master of the Fourth Valley, looking at their age, Ouyang Ping was at least fifty years old, and Li Gui was also over thirty years old, but his cultivation was very low, Ouyang Ping and Xu Chen's cultivation was almost the same, and Li Gui had even just started practicing Qi.

Knowing that Xu Chen was going down the mountain for the first time, Ouyang Ping and Li Gui were very enthusiastic, and bowed to Xu Chen again with respectful faces: "Xu Daoyou is here for the first time, I will naturally treat you well, three Daoyou please!" ”

The three of them said a few polite words, and then followed the two valley masters to a thatched hut not far away.

At this time, many people who were setting up stalls or trading surrounded them, but they didn't dare to approach, but they all hurriedly bowed their hands to greet and greet from a distance.

Senior Brother Nine only nodded slightly, walked into the thatched house and sat down, Li Gui summoned a few servants to serve hot tea, and then Ouyang Ping smiled and said, "The three Daoists are here today, but what do you need to trade?" ”

Senior Brother Jiu shook his head and pointed at Xu Chen and said: "It's not, I waited for the order of the master to go to Jingshi to celebrate the emperor's birthday, passing by Nanyang City, but it was still early, and the little junior brother went down the mountain for the first time, so I came to visit, and I was also familiar with the face. ”

Ouyang Ping and Li Gui were envious when they heard this, and hurriedly bowed their hands together to take it for granted, a few people exchanged a few words of simple greetings, and after drinking a cup of tea, the three of them walked out of the hut and began to walk around the valley.

There are not many people in the valley, and there are less than thirty people in total, and most of them are still ordinary martial arts masters, or the acquired realm or the innate realm, all of them are burly and even carry weapons such as swords, guns, bows and arrows, and only three or five have reached the Kaiyuan realm, and they are basically just getting started.

There are more than 10 stalls, most of them are sitting on the ground, casually using a piece of linen cloth or a piece of animal skin to spread on the ground, on which are placed some mountain ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, deer antler, yellow essence and other wild herbs, or animal bones, animal teeth, animal skins and even some tattered and unrecognizable strange things.

Xu Chen passed all the way, and without his divine sense, he could tell that almost all of them were items that had no spiritual energy, and occasionally one or two had spiritual energy fluctuations, but they were also imperceptible.

"How is it, isn't the junior brother disappointed?" Before the circle was finished, Senior Brother Jiu asked with a smile.

Xu Chen nodded: "It's really a little disappointed, I used to hear the senior brothers and sisters talk about the Wild Wolf Valley, but I didn't expect it to be like this, there is nothing good!" ”

A half-pulled old Taoist priest next to him, who was wearing a shabby Taoist robe and had messy hair, echoed flatteringly: "The three are the senior disciples of the Taiyuan Sect, and the things in the Wild Wolf Valley are naturally out of the law's eyes, in fact, the Wild Wolf Valley occasionally has some good things, but it is difficult to come across!" ”

Senior Brother Nine pouted and said, "That's true, but the so-called good things are not much better!" ”

The old Taoist priest was a little embarrassed, so he could only smile bitterly: "How can I compare our casual cultivation with the Taoist friends of Taiyuan Gate, but a few days ago, a few strange Taoist friends passed by and brought a second-order wind inner pill and a stone flower, but they were seen in the life of the old man." ”

Senior Brother Jiu's body was shocked, and his eyes lit up and said, "Sure enough, both of them are good things, but they can't be sought." ”

Zhao Xuan also nodded with surprise on his face and said: "That's true, the second-order Wind Pill can refine the second-grade Wind Spirit Pill, and Shi Shenghua is the main medicine for refining the third-grade Ascending Dragon Pill, it is indeed rare, but I am afraid that it is worth a lot!" ”

The old Taoist nodded with affection and said: "What Fairy Zhao said is extreme, the price of the Feng Neidan is thirty spirit stones, and the price of Shi Shenghua is one hundred spirit stones, and I wait for the scattered cultivation to eat the soil on weekdays, one or two spirit stones are difficult to get, who can afford it, so those few Taoist friends stayed for only half a moment and left, and the old Taoist is only afraid that he can only open his eyes this time in this life." ”

At this time, Senior Brother Jiu, who had always been disdainful, stopped talking, and his face was full of despair.

Xu Chen was even more depressed.

Don't say thirty spirit stones, even if the three spirit stones can't be made up by the three of them at the moment.

Taiyuan Gate is high in the eyes of these loose cultivators, but in fact, they are still poor and eat soil, but they are just embarrassed to say it.

The three of them didn't have the heart to continue to visit the Wild Wolf Valley, and after hastily looking at all the stalls, they didn't see anything worth seeing, so they prepared to say goodbye to the two valley owners and leave.

But just as he was speaking, suddenly a light whistled through the air from the direction of Taniguchi, and in an instant it landed near the trading area, only to see an old man with gray hair and a mess stumbling a few steps, and then fell to the ground.

"Lord Ohtani?!"

Ouyang Ping and Li Gui were shocked, and hurriedly rushed forward to help the newcomer up.

Suddenly, everyone in Wolf Valley surrounded them almost at the same time.

"Song Qingshi is so embarrassed, what happened?"

Xu Chen didn't know who came, and Senior Brother Nine muttered and followed.

"Lord Dagu, what happened, didn't you and the third child go to visit the Wulei Gate, why are you so embarrassed?" Ouyang Ping hugged the old man and asked urgently.

The old man's face turned pale and he gasped for a few breaths, trembling all over: "Quickly go find someone to help, otherwise the third and two Daoist friends of the Five Thunder Sect are afraid that something will happen." ”

"Lord Otani, what the hell happened?" Li Gui asked again nervously.

The old man waved his hand and gasped: "It's too late to elaborate, Heifengling, go and save people!" ”

The onlookers instantly burst into a violent exclamation and commotion.

Ouyang Ping was about to ask a few more words, but the old man raised his eyes and found that Xu Chen and the three of them suddenly lit up and grabbed the arm of the ninth senior brother, and said eagerly with surprise on his face: "It turns out that Lu Daoyou and Fairy Zhao of Taiyuan Gate are also there, so just right, the matter is urgent, please come to the rescue, I am grateful, in the future, Taiyuan Gate will be sent, and the Evil Wolf Valley will definitely go to the soup." ”

When Senior Brother Jiu heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I will go to Jingshi to congratulate the emperor on his birthday on the order of the elder of the master's sect, but I passed by the Wild Wolf Valley to take a turn, the Black Wind Ridge is hundreds of miles away from here, and it takes an hour to come and go, and I don't know what happened, how dare we act rashly, the Lord of Song Valley should ask another master!" ”

The old man's face suddenly turned gray, and he let go of his hand and said with a bitter smile: "Since this is the case, then you don't dare to trouble Lu Daoyou." ”

Zhao Xuan seemed to be unbearable, but she didn't speak.

Xu Chen has no right to speak, but he is a little interested in the Black Wind Ridge, it is said that it is the closest bad land in the Song Kingdom near the southern Xinjiang, and there are black winds blowing out from the cracks in the ground all year round, causing the mountains within a radius of more than ten miles to be bare, and they are shrouded in a black gas all year round, so it is called the Black Wind Ridge.

Since it is a badland, there must be danger, there is no grass there, wild beasts will avoid it from afar, and as for mortals, no one dares to step into it, only some monks dare to enter.

In fact, it is said that there is nothing inside, except for the black wind is a rock, and there is not even a decent piece of dirt to be seen, which can be called a place where birds do not.

But the big valley lord and a few monks of Wild Wolf Valley had nothing to do when they ran to the place where birds didn't, and it seemed that they were still in great danger.

Although this Great Valley Lord Song Qingshi is a loose cultivator, his cultivation is not too bad, at least in the middle and late stages of the Kaiyuan Realm, his aura is much stronger than Xu Chen, and even stronger than the thirteenth senior sister Zhao Xuan.

In addition, there are two monks of the Five Thunder Gate, even if they are only cultivated in the early and middle stages of the Kaiyuan Realm, the second-order demon beasts under the joint efforts of the four of them can also fight, after all, the monks do not rely entirely on cultivation to fight, and there is also the support of magic weapons, spells, elixirs, etc., theoretically speaking, as long as the monks are not too vegetable, it is not a big problem to resist demon beasts by leapfrogging.

It's like Xu Chen, but he is just an entry to the Kaiyuan Realm, but he was able to escape under the divine sense lock of the third-order demon wolf, completely relying on flying swords and pills, and it has nothing to do with his own strength.

Therefore, Xu Chen couldn't help but ask curiously, "Lord Song Valley, what happened to you in the Black Wind Ridge?" ”

"Who is this?" Song Qingshi saw that Xu Chen was wearing the Taoist robe of Taiyuan Gate, but he was young and unfamiliar.

"This is my little junior brother Xu Chen, the first time I went down the mountain!" Senior Brother Nine briefly introduced.

Song Qingshi was a little sick and seeking medical treatment at this time, the matter was urgent, but the people from Taiyuan Gate were in the Wild Wolf Valley, and they were almost the best helpers, he was very frustrated after being rejected by Senior Brother Jiu, but seeing that Xu Chen was interested, he was not in a hurry to find someone now, but quickly explained the reason for the matter briefly.

It turned out that recently, the wild beasts in this vicinity were suddenly restless, and even a few demon beasts appeared, many towns and villages were attacked, and many civilian livestock died.

Song Qingshi was the patriarch of a larger family nearby, and he had a super high cultivation, so he personally went to investigate, and found that the root cause was in the Black Wind Ridge, a large number of beasts and monsters had recently gathered around the Black Wind Ridge to roar and fight, the situation was very weird, and there were even demon beasts entering the cracks, Song Qingshi planned to go in to investigate, but he felt that he was alone, so he took the three masters to visit the Five Thunder Gate, and invited a few familiar colleagues to go in together.

But after entering the rift, they found that the black wind seemed to be several times stronger than before, and even the divine sense was greatly disturbed, and soon several people lost their direction and were separated, and Song Qingshi was also attacked by unknown murderous objects inside, if he hadn't escaped quickly, it was estimated that he would have died inside.

Therefore, after escaping from the Black Wind Ridge, he didn't dare to stay at all, and flew back in one breath to find help.
