The Journey to the Great Wilderness Chapter 53 The Strange Affair of Nanyang

Inevitably alarming the villagers, the three of them fell from the sky from a distance, and walked to the entrance of the village, where they saw an old man holding a large porcelain bowl and sitting under an old mulberry tree to enjoy a meal.

Duan Chen immediately stepped forward, clasped his fists and saluted, "By asking the old man, this is Nanyang Village?"

The old man stopped the dishes and chopsticks and said, "Yes, why did the three of you come to my Nanyang Village?"

Duan Chen replied truthfully: "The three juniors heard that there was a strange incident of the resurrection of the dead in Nanyang Village recently, and they were very curious, so they came from thousands of miles to check one or two, and I hope that the old man can say one or two in detail, is this resurrection of the dead true or false?"

The old man looked Duan Chen up and down a few times, and said: "The dead come back to life, it is naturally a rumor, how can the dead still come back to life, it's just that a few people who have contracted the plague and are about to die suddenly get better." ”

Li Mubai raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said, "This patient who has the plague suddenly recovered, could it be that there is a miracle doctor to save him?"

The old man hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Our Nanyang Village is just a small village in the wilderness, what kind of divine doctor will come to us? The reason why those people were able to survive was all because of the help of the old immortals of the Immortal Valley, and even the plague was driven away by the old immortals casting spells. ”

Duan Chen secretly said in his heart: "Immortal Valley, old immortal? Could it be some immortal cultivator who lives in seclusion in Nanyang Village?"

He thought so in his heart, but asked in his mouth, "Have you ever seen that old immortal of the Immortal Valley?"

The old man shook his head and said, "No one has seen it, but we in Nanyang Village all know that the old immortal lives in the Valley of the Immortals." ”

Gu Ling'er, who had never spoken, was surprised: "Since no one has seen it, why is the old man so sure that the old immortal lives in the Valley of the Immortals?"

The old man glanced at Gu Ling'er and said with a smile: "If you want to talk about this, you have to start from a year ago." On that day, several people in the village suddenly contracted the plague, and no one knew where the plague came from or how to treat it. ”

A look of fear appeared on the old man's face, and he continued: "At that time, in order to prevent the plague from continuing to spread in the village, the village chief decided to send those villagers infected with the plague to Willow Spring Valley, which is now the Valley of the Immortals, and let them fend for themselves, not wanting to spend the night like this. The next day, the villagers miraculously recovered, and the plague in the village suddenly disappeared. ”

Duan Chen said, "Didn't those villagers see who saved them?"

The old man shook his head and said, "Those people were in the middle of dying, and their consciousness was blurred, so they didn't see who rescued them. ”

Gu Linger muttered, "Could it be that the name of the Immortal Valley came from this?"

The old man still shook his head and said: "That's not the case, at that time, I thought that it was a passing divine doctor who saved those people, so I didn't associate it with the old immortals of the Immortal Valley, or later a villager went into the mountain to collect medicine and was poisoned by snakes, and I wanted to walk back to the village for help, but I didn't want to go to the Immortal Valley and fell into a coma, but when I woke up the next day, the snake venom on his body was removed without medicine." ”

"After coming and going like this, I vaguely guessed that there might be an old immortal living in the Valley of the Immortals, and it was that old immortal who shot three times and five times to save the lives of several villagers in my Nanyang Village. ”

After a slight pause, he heard the old man continue: "Since then, whenever anyone in the village is injured, he will go to the Valley of the Immortals and sleep for the night, and when he wakes up the next day, he will find that his injuries are all healed. ”

Li Mubai's heart moved when he heard this, and he asked, "Isn't it true that no matter what kind of injury or illness he suffers, as long as he sleeps in that Immortal Valley for the night, he will be cured?"

The old man smiled: "If you want to say that, it's not wrong, but if you are fatally injured, that old immortal can't do anything, but some ordinary injuries and illnesses, as long as you sleep in the Valley of the Immortals for a night, you can heal without medicine." ”

Li Mubai nodded and said so.

At this time, I heard the old man suddenly sigh and said, "But recently, the old immortal has not appeared for a long time. ”

Duan Chen raised his eyebrows, and even asked, "Why is this?"

I saw the old man smile bitterly: "Over the past year, the name of the Valley of the Immortals and the old immortals has spread day by day, many people have come from all over the world, some have come to seek healing, and there are also many immortal masters who have come to visit the old immortals. ”

Duan Chen, Li Mubai, and Gu Linger glanced at each other and said, "Dare to ask the old man, where is the Immortal Valley located in Nanyang Village?"

The old man stretched out his hand and pointed to the back of the village, and said: "Go around the back of the village and walk forward for three miles to the Valley of the Immortals, but the old fairy is probably no longer in the valley, and if you rush over now, I am afraid that you will not be able to see him." ”

Duan Chen said: "Even so, the three juniors still want to go and see, thank you for your advice." ”

After that, the three of them walked towards the back of Nanyang Village, although the three of them did not fly in the sky, but as a foundation building monk, their feet were also extremely fast, and in a short time, the Immortal Valley was close in front of them.

At this time, the sky was gradually dark, the waning moon hung obliquely, Duan Chen raised his eyes, but saw that the valley was silent, surrounded by mountains and ancient trees, almost covering most of the moonlight, making the entire valley extremely dark, like a dragon pool tiger's den, which looked a little scary.

Duan Chen and the three of them were on guard, and then stepped into the valley and walked straight towards the valley.

When I went deep into the valley, I saw a mountain spring pouring down from the high mountain and falling into a waterhole below.

On the shore of the waterhole, a willow tree grows unusually vigorously, and the fireflies fly all around, and the green light flashes, forming a beautiful scenery of willows under the moon.

However, Duan Chen and the three of them were here, sensing an unusual qi machine.

I saw Gu Ling'er frowning slightly and said: "There is a demonic aura here, although it is very light, but it is very pure, there may be a demon hidden here." ”

Li Mubai nodded and said, "Yes, this wisp of demonic qi is even purer than the demonic qi on those demon cultivators, and it is extremely likely to be a demon." ”

Duan Chen didn't speak, but secretly communicated with the Seven Demon Monarchs and asked, "Senior, what do you think?"

The Seven Demon Lords seemed to be busy studying the Demon Pill at this time, and when they heard this, they said, "You can do it yourself, this Demon Lord has other important things to do." ”

Duan Chen had no choice but to ask the Seven Demon Lords for advice, and turned his head to look at the pool.

At this time, I only heard a deep and powerful voice from the sky, and said, "The following three Taoist friends, but they have made a special trip to investigate the resurrection of the dead in Nanyang Village?"

As soon as the words fell, I saw a figure flickering in the night, and a tall, bearded barefoot man fell from the sky and flew down into the valley.

This barefoot man didn't seem to expect Duan Chen and the three of them to be so young, and he was slightly stunned before he clasped his fists and said, "In Xialu Jiangnan, I have seen three Taoist friends. ”

Duan Chen and the three of them returned the salute, and were about to reveal their identities when they heard a long laugh from the sky and said, "Brother Lu, but a new Taoist friend has arrived?"

But when he heard that the barefoot man Lu Jiangnan replied: "There are three more foundation building friends, by the way, Brother Qiu has not returned from exploring the vicinity?"

At this time, a slightly hoarse voice came from the sky, saying, "Brother Lu is worried, and he has already returned." ”

The sound fell, and two figures fell from the sky.

Duan Chen and the three of them stared at each other, and saw that the person on the left was slender, with a short beard, and two magic weapons crossed on the back of a strong suit.

The man on the right, short and dwarf-like, did not carry a magic weapon, and thought he had put it in a storage bag and never took it out.

The two fell into the valley, only to hear the man on the left clasping his fists and laughing: "Scattered cultivation Qiu Qianshan, I have seen three Taoist friends." ”

The short man on the right continued: "Loose cultivation Tan Guang, I have seen three Taoist friends. ”

Duan Chen and the three of them returned the salute again and again, and each reported his name.

At this time, I only heard Li Mubai ask first: "How long have the three Taoist friends been here?"

But seeing Lu Jiangnan smiled: "It's almost a month." ”

Duan Chen's heart moved when he heard this, and he said, "In this way, the three of you must have already seen the old immortal of this Immortal Valley?"

Unexpectedly, Tan Guang sneered and said, "There are no old immortals in this Nanyang Village, it's just a little willow demon who is doing it." ”

Qiu Qianshan continued: "I came here more than a month ago, and I happened to bump into the little willow demon casting a spell to save people, so I took the opportunity to injure it, but the little willow demon was very cunning and skillful, and finally escaped for her." ”

Duan Chen frowned and said, "Since the little willow demon is healing and saving people, why did the three of them hurt her as soon as they met?"

Li Mubai saw that Lu Jiangnan and the three of them had unhappy expressions on their faces, and couldn't help coughing dryly, and said, "Brother Duan means that even if the three of them want to make a move, it's best to wait for that little willow demon to save people before making a move." ”

Tan Guang snorted coldly and said, "I don't think that's what Duan Daoyou meant. ”

Lu Jiangnan also said with a cold face: "People are people, demons are demons, even if this little willow demon has saved a lot of people, but demons are demons after all, and if they are demons, they should be eliminated to prevent future troubles." ”

That Qiu Qianshan continued: "Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, since Duan Chen Daoyou feels that the next three people are not doing it right, then it is inconvenient for me to say anything more to the three of them, let's go." ”

With that, the three of them moved, flew into the air, and disappeared into the deep night in the blink of an eye.

But hearing Li Mubai, he let out a long sigh and said, "Brother Duan, your words are really subtle, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will be mistaken for a demon cultivator, please be cautious in your words and deeds." ”

Duan Chen said lightly: "Could it be that Brother Li also thinks that demons are demons, people are people, as long as they are demons, no matter what is good or evil, they should all be eliminated?"

Li Mubai's expression was stunned, and he said: "That's not what I mean, it's just that my human race and the demon clan have a deep blood feud after all, and Brother Duan, as a human monk, even if he thinks that the little willow demon shouldn't be killed, he shouldn't say it to his face, which is not only useless, but also easy to cause trouble." ”

Duan Chen was stunned when he heard this, and said after a while: "I just think that the little willow demon has saved a lot of mortals, and my human race's foundation building cultivator indiscriminately hurts people, isn't this kind of behavior not even as good as a little willow demon?"

Gu Ling'er shook her head and continued: "Having said that, after all, we are Terran monks, and if we speak for that little willow demon, it will inevitably cause people to be unhappy, and we will even be mistaken for a demon cultivator, but this point has to be paid attention to." ”

Duan Chen knew that the two of them were also for their own good, so he didn't argue anymore at the moment, and changed his words and said: "That little willow demon is scared like this, I'm afraid it won't return to this Immortal Valley again, what are the next plans for the two of you?"

Gu Linger pondered for a moment and said: "This is not necessarily, that little willow demon was injured by Lu Jiangnan's three people a month ago, even if he escaped, he must not be able to escape far because of the injuries on his body, and those three people are still wandering near the Immortal Valley until now, and they must have discovered something, so I boldly guess that the little willow demon must still be near the Immortal Valley, and he has never gone far." ”

Duan Chen had already seen Gu Linger's ingenuity many times, and when he heard this, he said: "Gu Daoyou's speculation is quite reasonable, but this mountain is vast, where are we going to find that little willow demon?"

Gu Ling'er's beautiful eyes turned, gently brushed the hair that fell between her ears, and said with a shallow smile: "The easiest way is to follow those three people." ”

Duan Chen's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Good way, Gu Daoyou's intelligence is really admirable." ”

Li Mubai continued: "In this case, while the three of them have not gone far, let's hurry up and catch up." ”

He rose into the air first and chased towards the place where Lu Jiangnan and the three disappeared, Duan Chen and Gu Ling'er followed.

The three of them chased after each other, but they couldn't fly more than ten miles, and suddenly heard that in the deep night, there seemed to be a sound of fighting, and they couldn't help but follow the direction from which the sound came.

In this way, he flew for about a few miles, but he saw that in the barren mountains and mountains, four figures were entangled in mid-air, fighting fiercely.

Li Mubai stared at him and said: "It's Lu Jiangnan and the three of them, the girl in Tsing Yi, it must be the little willow demon, I didn't expect them to find this little willow demon so quickly." ”

Duan Chen was concerned about the safety of the little willow demon, and said, "Let's go over and take a look first." ”。

At that moment, he gathered his breath and fell from mid-air, and quickly sneaked over under the cover of the tall trees around him.

Seeing this, Li Mubai and Gu Linger had to hurry up.

The three of them bypassed a forest, and saw that the little willow demon was attacked by Lu Jiangnan's three people back and forth, and the situation was extremely sinister.

But on the little willow demon's pink face, although the expression was a little tense, there was no trace of panic, and the two little hands danced quickly in the void, and one by one the green willow flew out of its cuffs and whipped towards Lu Jiangnan.

What Lu Jiangnan's envoy in his hand was a gold brick high-grade magic weapon, and with a pinch of the magic trick in his hand, the gold brick magic weapon immediately turned into a golden light and turned into the size of a zhang xu, and smashed angrily at the little willow demon.

The wicker that the little willow demon changed was whipped on the golden brick magic weapon, only to see the willow leaf broken, but he didn't see that the golden brick magic weapon was hindered in any way, and it still roared and smashed towards the little willow demon angrily.

Seeing this, the little willow demon's heart sank, and he immediately leaned over and fled down without saying a word.

As a result, he hadn't escaped much distance, but when he saw the figure below, Qiu Qianshan was holding a sword magic weapon and blocked the way of the little willow demon.

Almost at the same time, above the head of the little willow demon, Tan Guang's short figure quietly emerged, raised one hand, sacrificed a long whip magic weapon, and whipped towards the little willow demon, mercilessly.
