Chapter 7: The Valley of the Wind God
Shui Linghan and the two came to a stone tablet with three big characters engraved on the stone tablet - Fengshen Valley.
"Looks like we're outside the Valley of the Winds."
Shui Linghan looked at the stele and said.
"I didn't expect it to be past midnight, it looks like we have to speed up!"
"Uh...... Sorry ......"
Lingxiu thought that Shui Linghan was angry and hurriedly apologized.
Shui Linghan asked suspiciously.
"Why apologize?"
"If I hadn't been out of town for that long, I might have been able to buy some time......"
Shui Linghan smiled.
"What? Regretted it? ”
"It's not!"
The spiritual cultivator hastened to deny it.
"Look, I said that I would come first to find an antidote, you have to listen, if you are willing to promise me to ask me about the forbidden art later, we can not set off early!"
"Crooked, it's mine, isn't it?"
"Facts!"
Suddenly, a hiss broke the quiet night.
No matter how Shui Linghan drove him, the horses refused to move forward half a step.
"What's wrong with it?"
Devotional asked.
"Windy, quiet! Flowing Wind! ”
Shui Linghan hurriedly calmed the mount.
Instead of listening to Shui Linghan's words and quieting down, Liufeng became even more manic.
Shui Linghan knew that he couldn't stay on the horse's back anymore, so he hurriedly said to Lingxiu.
"Devotional, hold on to me!"
"Huh? Good! ”
Shui Linghan grabbed Lingxiu's waist and jumped off the horse with a sharp leap.
After the spiritual cultivation stabilized his body, Shui Linghan hurriedly grabbed the reins of the horse that was about to escape.
"Flowing Wind! Calm down! ”
Then he spoke to the devotional.
"You wait for me where you are! I need to find a place to tie the wind down. ”
"What's wrong with it? How did you suddenly become irritable? ”
"Animals are more sensual than normal people, and I guess it's so uneasy when it feels threatened."
"Is it because of the demonic energy in the Valley of the Wind God?"
"It should be."
Shui Linghan knotted the reins to make sure that the flowing wind would not break free.
"Looks like we're going to have to do it on our feet."
"Then we'll have to hurry!"
"It's hard to walk at night, so we have to be more careful even if we're in a hurry."
"I see, Acting Lord."
Hearing the title of spiritual cultivator, Shui Linghan felt a little sad,
"In the future, you will still call me Ling Han as usual in private!"
"The title 'Acting Master' makes me feel so alien to you."
"But...... After all, you are the king of the immortal realm, and we call him by his name, isn't it good? ”
"But I'm not defeated now, am I? Maybe soon I won't be the vicarious. So I hope you still treat me the way you used to, and don't care who I am, just that I'm your friend. ”
This heartfelt remark moved the spiritual cultivator a little, so he hurriedly agreed.
"Okay! Ling Han! ”
Shui Linghan finally showed a smile.
"Hmm."
As the two of them continued to go deeper into the Wind God Valley, Shui Linghan's expression became more and more solemn.
"Sure enough...... The closer you get to the interior of the valley, the stronger the demonic aura becomes. ”
"Uh...... Speaking of which, I've always wondered, what is the smell of so-called demonic energy? ”
The words of the spiritual cultivator couldn't help but make Shui Linghan laugh.
"Demon energy is not a taste, but a unique way of using aura when the demon clan cultivates."
"If you haven't learned how to recognize, you can't perceive."
"Something like that, there's fairy qi and demonic energy."
"The demon clan's method of using aura?"
"Not bad."
"Then how do you perceive this demonic aura?"
"We use 'synaesthesia' to perceive."
"What is synaesthesia?"
"'Synaesthesia' is the so-called sixth sense. People always have a strange feeling when they are faced with something or something, and this feeling does not come from the five senses, which is the sixth sense. ”
"The sixth sense, though not derived from the five senses, is born from these five senses, and the sixth sense is a sensation derived from the sensations felt in the combination of these five senses."
"Through practice, ordinary people can strengthen their senses, and then strengthen their sixth sense, which is derived from it."
"For example, if someone strengthens his vision, then he can perceive the presence of breath just by perceiving it with the naked eye; Some people strengthen their sense of smell, so they spread the so-called demonic spirit. If you don't understand why, it's easy to be deceived by charlatans. ”
"It turns out that the so-called demonic spirit has such a deep knowledge!"
The devotional was amazed.
"I've come across one of the things that deceive people with so-called demonic spirits."
"What's going on?"
Devotional asked curiously.
"I met a charlatan who pointed to a fox and said it was a demon."
"But it's just an ordinary fox."
"His so-called demonic aura is just the body odor of the fox!"
"Hahahaha! That's a liar! ”
"Yes, he wants to trick a family into entrusting him to get rid of demons, so that he can take the opportunity to defraud money."
"But if the family wants to believe him, something strange must have happened!"
"Yes, his family always loses some jewelry, and he can't find out what he tells the government, so he rushes to the doctor and finds a liar."
"So what the hell is going on?"
"His house was quite close to the woods, his wife's dresser was by the window, and there were a few crows in the woods who liked shiny things."
"Sometimes his wife forgot to close the window, and the birds flew into the house and took the jewelry from the table and put it in her nest."
"Haha, I see! It's funny. ”
While laughing, a dense forest appeared in front of the two of them.
"What a big wood!"
Devotional sighed.
"Looks like we're going to have to walk through the dense forest to get into the valley."
Shui Linghan looked at the dense forest in front of him with a solemn expression.
"It's been too smooth along the way."
"Wouldn't it go well?"
There's something strange about devotional.
"That's it. Devotional, be sure to follow me for a while. ”
"Good!"
As soon as the two of them entered the dense forest, they noticed that something was wrong. At some point, a layer of fog suddenly rose around the area.
"Why is it foggy all of a sudden?"
Devotional said in surprise.
"This fog is full of demonic aura, I'm afraid it was done by those demons...... Spirituality follow me, be careful! ”
"Good!"
The fog grew thicker and thicker, and the two walked in the fog for a long time before they found themselves back in place.
At this time, Lingxiu was a little scared, but he pretended to be calm and asked Shui Linghan.
"We, are we back at the entrance of the forest just now?"
Shui Linghan nodded.
"You're right...... It seems that the evil in the forest does not want us to pass. ”
"What then?"
"Then force them to show up!"
Shui Linghan drew his saber and chanted the incantation, and a huge array of light suddenly appeared on the ground.
Then a sword array rose from the light array.
Shui Linghan urged the sword formation and raised the sword formation into the air.
Then he swung his sword into the forest, and countless sword shadows shot out from the sword array, attacking the forest like a torrential rain.
A roar sounded, and Shui Linghan looked vigilantly into the depths of the dense forest.
"What a sound!"
"Be careful spiritually, those evil spirits are about to appear!"
The surrounding woods seemed to move, and the fog gradually dissipated.
The two of them looked at each other, and they were actually surrounded by tree monsters!
The dryads were tall, surrounded by thick vines, and the upper part of the trunk showed a pair of blood-red eyes that looked terrifying in the night......
"These! It's a tree monster! ”
"Devotional, be careful!"
"I see!"
