Chapter 56: Xuanyuan Valley
Not long after, King Yan, who received the report, arrived, and without waiting for him to ask, Xiao Ting had already handed the bamboo slip book to King Yan and said, "King Yan, we have found the location of the main medicine of the two flavors. The most poisonous leaves refer to the leaves of the Broken God Grass. This grass is extremely poisonous, as long as it touches one of its leaves, it will be contaminated with its poison. Poisoned people not only suffer severe pain all over their bodies, but even their souls have to go through hellish torture. And the most complementary flower is a strange flower called the Seven Tricks Exquisite Lotus. This flower is said to have the miraculous effect of the flesh and bones of the living and dead, even if there is still a breath, it can also wake up and revive people. According to this bamboo book, these two kinds of flowers and plants grow in the Xuanyuan Valley. ”
When King Yan heard this, his brows furrowed slightly: "Xuanyuan Valley of Zixiao Mountain? It's the forbidden land of my Yan country! ”
Xiao Ting naturally didn't know, and asked, "Forbidden Land!?"
King Yan nodded and said, "Not bad!" There is a miasma all year round in Zixiao Mountain, and if you enter below the transcendent realm, you will definitely die. And in the Xuanyuan Valley in the mountains, it is the place where the miasma is the thickest. When ordinary people enter, they can't discern the direction at all, and the toxins contained in the miasma can all threaten the cultivators of the King Realm. So it has always been regarded as a bad place. It is also one of the forbidden places in my Yan country. ”
When Xiao Ting heard this, he said: "But as recorded in the Bamboo Slips, only in Xuanyuan Valley can there be the Broken God Grass and the Seven Tricks Exquisite Lotus. I can't say it, I also ask King Yan to send a team of cultivators who are masters in the king realm to go with me and bring these two things back! ”
King Yan raised his eyebrows: "You want to go too?"
Xiao Ting nodded and said, "Naturally, I want to go!" I want to make sure that these two strange things are well preserved, so as not to lose their medicinal properties and misunderstand the big thing of detoxification! ”
King Yan furrowed his brows, glanced at Xiao Ting deeply, and said, "Now Gu is a little bit of a believer in your words!" Lone promises that before you come back, you can not increase troops on the border of Chu to prepare for war! We'll talk about it when you get back! ”
Xiao Ting shook his head and said, "King Yan, let's send troops." In addition, the border city between the two countries was also closed, cutting off business exchanges between the two countries, and the decision to sever diplomatic relations was made. ”
King Yan wondered, "But why?"
Xiao Ting smiled and said, "Since someone wants to see the Yan Kingdom and the Chu State break off diplomatic relations and start a war, then why didn't the King of Yan fulfill his wish?" If I hadn't been able to save the prince's life in seven days, King Yan would have gone to war; If I cure the prince's poison within seven days, King Yan can also plan to see who wants to be this fisherman. ”
King Yan's eyes were full of appreciation, and he nodded: "The Chu State has a character like you, it is really a blessing for the Chu State!" Just as you say. Still, Lone still has to remind you. If you can't cure my son's poison, seven days later, you will still die! ”
Xiao Ting smiled and didn't speak.
It was getting late, Xiao Ting thought about it, and prepared to set off for Zixiao Mountain tomorrow. In addition, he also asked King Yan to allow him to return to his place and report safety to his sister.
In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Ting finally coaxed Xing'er, who had to go to Zixiao Mountain with him, packed his things, and followed a team of people sent by King Yan to rush to Xuanyuan Valley of Zixiao Mountain.
There were not many men and horses sent by King Yan to Xiao Ting, only twelve. But they are all cultivation masters above the king realm. The cultivation of the leader of the twelve people has reached the middle stage of the True Emperor Realm, and it is said that he is the deputy commander of the forbidden army in the imperial city, and his name is Luo Fang.
Xiao Ting also knows King Yan's thoughts. I'm afraid that King Yan has already given this Luo an order: as long as Xiao Ting shows signs of escaping, he will be killed!
However, Xiao Ting didn't care about this, after all, he really wanted to get the Broken Divine Grass and the Seven Aperture Exquisite Lotus more than King Yan!
Zixiao Mountain is not too far away from the imperial city of Yan Kingdom, and the group of thirteen people are all riding fast horses, and it took a day to finally come to the foot of Zixiao Mountain.
Looking at Zixiao Mountain, which was surrounded by miasma, Xiao Ting looked up.
I saw that the whole mountain was faintly lilac, and the highest peak reached into the sky, and the end of the mountain could not be seen.
Exhaling a breath, seeing that it was getting late, Xiao Ting thought about it and said to Luo Fang: "Commander Luo, it's getting late." There is a lot of miasma here, why don't we rest here for one night, and wait for tomorrow after sunrise, when the miasma is weak, and then go into the mountains and valleys? ”
Luo Fang thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay!" Just as you say! ”
Afterwards, arrangements began for the rest of the people to set up their tents and prepare to spend the night outside the mountain.
And Xiao Ting also looked at Zixiao Mountain, and asked softly, "Old white man, do you think my trip will go well?"
Xiao Ting and King Yan asked to return to the next place, not only to report safety to Xing'er, but also to bring Bai Qi with him to ensure the safety of this trip.
Bai Qi rolled his eyes: "Lao Tzu is not a fortune teller!" This place where birds don't, if you didn't have to pull me here, I wouldn't be too lazy to come! ”
Xiao Ting smiled and said, "Anyway, you are a soul body, these miasma should not be a threat to you, right?" Why don't you go explore the way first? ”
Bai Qi glanced at Xiao Ting and said, "You have a good plan, let me be a coolie."
Although he said this, Bai Qi still floated towards Zixiao Mountain.
Watching Bai Qi's figure disappear into the miasma, Xiao Ting smiled and began to set up a tent for himself.
At ten o'clock in the night, Bai Qi came back. Xiao Ting hurriedly asked, "How?" Can you enter the Xuanyuan Valley? ”
Bai Qi frowned and said, "Gua Wazi, I'm afraid you won't be so smooth this time." The miasma in this Zixiao Mountain is easy to say, but once you enter the Xuanyuan Valley, the concentration of this miasma has reached a point where it can threaten the soul body! And the visibility in the valley is extremely low, and in addition, in the depths of the Xuanyuan Valley, I have a feeling of panic. This Xuanyuan Valley is not simple! I'm afraid there's something big about it! ”
Xiao Ting's heart sank when he heard this. Who is Bai Qi? That's a god-killing thing, something that can make him feel terrified, I'm afraid it won't be a good kind!
But now that the arrow is on the line, he has to send it, and Xiao Ting can only take one step at a time. However, thinking of the lock in his Soul Lock Palace, Xiao Ting was still a little relieved. Either way, the lock should be safe and sound, right?
The next day, the sun rises three poles. Xiao Ting and Luo Fang stood side by side, watching the miasma in the mountains dissipate a little by the sunlight. Luo Fang and Xiao Ting glanced at each other.
Xiao Ting nodded at Luo Fang, Luo Fang turned around and shouted, "Take medicine and enter the mountain!"
Before coming back, Xiao Ting specially asked the Tai Hospital for some antidote pills, although they could not completely immune themselves to the effects of the miasma, but it would also save them some effort when fighting the miasma.
Xiao Ting took the antidote pill in his mouth and followed everyone to start marching towards the mountain together.
Zixiao Mountain is full of purple redbud trees, and there are some poisonous plants that Xiao Ting can't recognize. Along the way, I didn't see any animals.
Xiao Ting and his entourage, walking and stopping, checked the map from time to time, and finally walked to the entrance of Xuanyuan Valley after half a day.
