Chapter 31: The Surface, the Deceptive Appearance

In the Valley of the Absolute Soul, there are thousands of cliffs on both sides, and on the bare cliffs, there are a few cliff cypress rooted in the rocks, and occasionally one or two birds fly by, stop on the branches of the cliff cypress, and also build a nest there.

Looking up, between the cliffs, there are layers of gray mist, which is very thick. The gray mist blocked the light that shone in, darkening the empty Valley of the Soulless, and the air in the valley was filled with a damp, moldy mixed smell.

"It smells so bad, from here, although the Valley of Absolute Souls is deep and quiet, it is not as dangerous as recorded in ancient books. ”

In front of the Absolute Soul Valley, Xia Yuan and Qin Lan stood side by side, the smell wafting out of the wind in the Absolute Soul Valley was really unpleasant, Qin Lan frowned a pair of willow eyebrows tightly, stretched out his hand and waved it at his mouth and nose, patting it.

"You can't look at everything on the surface, but you don't know that the most deceptive thing is what is revealed on the surface. If you look closely, the rocks on both sides of the cliff are full of traces left by swords. ”

Xia Yuan stared at it, just by the traces of those swords, he could guess that the corpses in the Valley of Absolute Souls were not just one or two. And in Xia Yuan's eyes, the Valley of Absolute Souls was a desolate giant beast that had already stretched out its terrifying bloodthirsty fangs.

Xia Yuan's palm held a rough sword fetus, with no tip or edge, but its sharpness was no less than that of any forged sword.

If you only look at the surface, the rough sword tire is just a broken sword, without a sharp edge and no edge, it will only be abandoned on the ground at will, and people who come and go will not care.

In front of the Valley of the Absolute Soul, there was a row of bushes, and there was originally a nest of hares living in the bushes, but after Xia Yuan and Qin Lan arrived, they saw the living people, and they panicked Peaches.

"The Valley of the Dead, also known as the Road of the Dead, has a very special creature in it, not afraid of swords, and we still need to be careful to guard against it. ”

Qin Lan nodded, and she also held a folding fan in her hand, the folding fan was silvery-white, and on the fan bones on both sides, there were engraved patterns of heavenly phoenix fluttering wings, which was delicate and lifelike.

"Silver folding fan, is this Qin Lan's weapon?" Xia Yuan saw it for the first time.

Those scholars of Confucianism are full of poetry and books, and they also like to open and close the fan on their chests to show a personable demeanor.

"Let's go inside. ”

After Xia Yuan and Qin Lan looked at each other and smiled, they also raised their feet and walked into the Valley of Absolute Souls. As soon as they stepped into the valley, a somewhat eerie cold wind suddenly hit, penetrating their clothes, blowing a little chill on their backs.

The ground in the Valley of the Absolute Soul is paved with uneven cyan rocks, and it is a bit bumpy to walk on it.

Another gust of wind blew, and the wind was a little stronger, and it blew up the white powder in the cracks in the rocks on the ground. It was bone meal, the bones of dead humans or beasts, completely weathered into pinches of bone meal, hidden in the cracks of the stones.

"Click!"

Xia Yuan didn't pay attention, he stepped on a small piece of dead branch under his feet, and made a sound in the quiet valley, which suddenly exploded in his ears, and it was also heard far away, and it echoed a few times.

"Soul Valley, the road of the dead, I don't know how many people are buried here. ”

Xia Yuan tightened the rough sword tire in his hand, and as far as he could see, everywhere on the ground was a weapon with a rusty handle, some of which had been rolled up, and some of which were broken into two.

There were also wisps of blood-stained clothes, hung in the cracks in the stones, fluttering in the wind.

"Xia Yuan, what do you see it is? It looks like a knife has been stuck in the ground. ”

Xia Yuan and Qin Lan's steps were very light, and they also walked very slowly, until they were getting farther and farther away from the valley mouth, and not far ahead, a weapon was stuck in the ground, but the scene was very blurry, and it was not real to see.

Qin Lan stretched out her finger and pointed ahead, and a soft snort came out of her mouth.

The Valley of Absolute Souls is isolated from the Divine Sense, and after the Divine Consciousness is released, it is only a distance of one or two meters at most.

The valley is dark, and the sight that can be seen in front of you is limited.

Inside and out, the feelings of black people are completely different.

"The remnants of the clothes that remain on the ground are the same as the clothes of those elders of the Celestial Empire, and the people who die here should be the ones who were eliminated in the night, without a name and no surname, they died here, and they became nameless. ”

Survival of the fittest, no matter where it is, is the same truth, it's just the survival of the fittest.

Walking forward, Xia Yuan and Qin Lan also stopped, they stopped and looked, on the ground in front of them, there was a mad knife, the blade was wide, nine rings hung on the back of the knife, and the handle of the knife was the shape of a dragon's head.

I don't know how many years the mad knife has been inserted here, but on its blade, there is no trace of rust to be seen, but it is overflowing.

The mad knife is in the way, and it seems that he doesn't want to let the comers come forward again.

"It's not a good sign that the road ahead is blocked. I don't know who the owner of this knife is, but he is willing to leave such a divine weapon here. ”

The knife is a mad knife, and the edge is exposed.

Xia Yuan also remembered that the lonely grave under the persimmon tree buried a person who could never come back, and this crazy knife would not be his weapon during his lifetime.

"Xia Yuan, let's get around it, I feel that the spirit on this crazy knife has dissipated, and the remaining spirit rhyme seems to be a little hostile to us. ”

Qin Lan opened the silver-white folding fan in his hand and placed it at his side. "No, the hostility of the Crazy Sword Lingyun is not against us, it seems to be directed at the rough sword tire in your hand. ”

Qin Lan looked at the rough sword fetus in Xia Yuan's hand, and there was some surprise in his eyes.

"Rough sword tire!"

Xia Yuan was stunned, he put the rough sword tire across his chest, this was just a sword that had not yet been forged, and it could actually make the spirit rhyme in the mad knife show hostility.

"There are more than a dozen kinds of immortal gold in the world, and immortal gold is born from the creation of heaven and earth, and it is psychic. It is normal for different immortals to be hostile to each other. I'll go, rough sword tires, crazy swords shouldn't all be forged from immortal gold, right?"

Xia Yuan was a little hindsightly, his hand holding the rough sword fetus trembled, and he also let out an exclamation in his mouth, since when did the immortal gold start to rot on the street.

First, there was a Blue Heavenly Lotus in the Sword Casting City, then there was the Crazy Knife in the Heavenly Cave Soul Valley, and finally the rough sword tire held in Xia Yuan's hand.

Without exception, it's all fairy gold.

It's right to think about it this way, why does the mad knife not rust under the corrosion of the years, but is as normal as usual, and the edge is exposed.

"Qin Lan, if I didn't have you by my side, I don't know how many opportunities I would miss. ”

Xia Yuan suddenly raised his eyebrows, looked at Qin Lan beside him and said softly.

"Since the mad knife is forged by immortal gold, but we can't take it, what kind of chance is this?"

Qin Lan turned his head and looked at Xia Yuan and said puzzled.

The mad knife was stuck in the ground like this, and the blade was deeply embedded in the rock, let alone pulling it out, even if it was close to the mad knife, it was not allowed by it.

In the final analysis, their cultivation is too weak.

"Immortal gold is psychic, and they are hostile to each other, but those who cultivate to the heavens can use the supreme great mana to integrate different immortal finances. I don't have that strength, but I can let the rough sword fetus devour the mad sword. ”

Xia Yuan raised his hand and touched Qin Lan's forehead, grinning. "The mad knife is stuck here, maybe for our good, but it's no wonder that the way is the first to get in the way. ”

Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat dried shrimp, this is an eternal truth that does not become true.

The same is true of fairy gold.

It's just that what Xia Yuan said was easy, if between the two, if it was really devoured, who would be the master and who would be the guest, it would be a little difficult to say.

"You will make a mistake and block the road with a mad knife, which should be to warn the latecomers that the danger of the road ahead, after you say it from your mouth, will change its taste, and the good will become bad. ”

Qin Lan glanced at Xia Yuan, then reached out and slapped Xia Yuan's palm away.

"It's not easy to devour the mad knife, if you're not careful, you'll be turned against it, both of them are immortal gold, and there are also strong and weak. ”

Now that he knew that the rough sword tire was immortal gold, Xia Yuan also cut it off, and the idea of looking for someone to cast the rough sword tire into shape, the truth that the husband was not guilty and guilty of it, Xia Yuan's heart was not unaware.

If you can't find someone to cast, you can only let the rough sword tire devour the immortal gold, Xia Yuan is warming it with blood, and it also makes the rough sword tire naturally take shape and change into the weapon Xia Yuan wants.

As for why Mu Yao would bring nine kinds of immortal gold, and the people of the Sword Seeking Sect forged a Blue Sky Lotus, Xia Yuan couldn't figure it out thoroughly.

"Assert ............"

Just when Xia Yuan was holding the rough sword fetus in his hand and his expression was uncertain, a strange laugh suddenly came out from the valley, and from front to back, it resounded in all directions.

The strange laughter seemed to be the sound of two white bones rubbing together, and it rang in my ears, and it was extremely ugly.

"Who is it?"

Xia Yuan took a step forward, and then stretched out his hand and protected Qin Lan behind him.

Xia Yuan's face was gloomy, he raised his eyes and looked around, his body was running the Ninth Reincarnation Sutra, and he was holding the rough sword fetus in his hand, looking like he was facing a great enemy.

"Whenever there is danger, you are always at the forefront. Qin Lan was behind Xia Yuan, opening the silver-white folding fan in her hand, her eyes were very gentle.

Among the two, Qin Lan's cultivation is the highest, and Xia Yuan, who has a low cultivation, protected her behind her without thinking, and appeared in front of her fearlessly.

"Hahaha......... Two little babies, how productive the sky is, how bold you are. The old decay put the weapon here, it is to tell you that the road of the dead is not easy to walk, and then raise your feet after thinking clearly, not only do you not know the good, but also want to swallow the vicissitudes of the old decay, those who do not know are fearless, or the afterlife is terrifying. ”

The shape moved with the sound, a shadow appeared on the canglan, the black mist lingering on the shadow gradually dissipated, and a white-bearded old man was sitting on the handle of the canglan with his legs crossed, looking at the two little babies in front of him with a smile.

"The predecessors are just soul bodies, and they must not be able to exert the great mana before they were born. The seniors blocked the sword here, blocking the path of trial for the two of us, and how could I be told to read the good of the seniors. ”

After Xia Yuan finished speaking in a deep voice, he also held a yellow talisman seal in his hand.

After the yellow talisman is crushed, Granny Mo will come to the rescue.
