Chapter 288: Winding Paths Lead to Secluded Paths
Walk along the river and bend in the river. Thousands of twists and turns, through the reef and through the forest.
Qianlong is skillful in boating, riding the wind and waves in a light boat, with thousands of blue waves and boundless ripples.
In the surging river, a leaf boat down the river, shuttle nearly two hours, from the thousands of miles of the Hengjiang River to the Qianzhang River, and then to the hundred-foot deep lake, and then march into the reeds, the water and grass are luxuriant Qianqian trickle, can be described as a step by step mountain scenery, a turn wave of waves, both sides of the river by the boundless embankment, farmland vertical and horizontal, gradually transformed into mountains and forests ravines, standing walls thousands of thousands.
When Chang Wuregret took the black cloth off the faces of Liu Xunyi and the others, the scene in front of him was very different from the Xunyang River when he got on the boat.
At this moment, the river is narrow and winding, the water is quiet and clear, and the mud and sand pebbles at the bottom of the river can be seen almost at a glance. When Tang Cong, who was full of curiosity, reached out to explore the water, he was surprised to find that the river water was cold and unfathomable.
The aquatic plants in the river are swaying like demons, confusing people's minds. The reeds on the surface of the river are as tall as a man, covering people's eyes and ears.
In addition, the reef is hidden, and the broken wood barrage the river, once the boat is driven here, if it is not familiar with the waterway, it is bound to mud cows into the sea, confused in it, and it is difficult to get out.
"Walk through the mountains ahead, sit tight!"
The light boat passed through a field of reeds and slowly approached a large mountain along a tributary. At the same time, Qian Long's voice suddenly sounded in the stern of the boat.
Looking at the oncoming majestic mountains, Liu Xunyi and Tang Cong couldn't help but be surprised.
Seeing that the boat was getting closer and closer to the mountain, and the speed was not decreasing, but becoming faster and faster, and seeing that it was about to hit the indestructible mountain rock, Liu Xunyi and Tang Cong moved their bodies backwards in unison, and at the same time clenched the side of the boat with both hands, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on their backs.
"Boatman, mountain, mountain, mountain, about to hit the mountain......"
With Tang Cong's frightened screams like killing pigs, the boat shot straight towards the mountain wall like an arrow from the string.
At this moment, even a bold master like Liu Xunyi couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and he subconsciously let out an exclamation.
However, at the moment when the boat was about to hit the mountain, the narrow river channel suddenly "broke". The boat sank down suddenly, the bow of the boat almost fell against the mountain wall, and the sharp and abrupt rocks were even closer to Liu Xunyi and the others, within reach.
The light boat descends quickly, and the grass and trees on the mountain wall can almost scrape the guests on the boat. In addition, the boat collided with the protruding rocks from time to time, and the hull of the boat kept shaking violently, which suddenly provoked Tang Cong's "life is better than death" roar and scolding.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, the boat smashed into the water, and a huge splash rose in response, pouring Liu Xunyi and several people who were caught off guard into "soup chickens".
"Poof!"
The frightened Liu Xunyi hurriedly stabilized his figure, wiped the water stains on his face with his hands, and at the same time squirted out a mouthful of lake water.
When he cast his stunned gaze on the others, he suddenly found that except for him and Tang Cong, who were in a state of embarrassment, everyone else seemed to have been prepared, and even Mei Zichuan and Bao'er were as stable as Mount Tai and were completely unharmed.
"Haha......"
Seeing Liu Xunyi and Tang Cong's eyes full of embarrassment, Chang Wuregret and Qian Long couldn't help laughing, gloating was self-evident, and even did not shy away from it.
Liu Xunyi looked up and suddenly found the place where he had just fallen, which was at least three zhang high. If it weren't for Qian Long's familiarity with the river and his skillful boat skills, I was afraid that this would scare people to death.
"In and out of the Valley of Despair, you have to go through the 'cliff', go to the West Mountain when you enter the valley, and go to the East Mountain when you go out of the valley. Pan Yuyin explained while handing Liu Xunyi a handkerchief.
"I see......"
"Door master, look!"
Liu Xunyi's mind was undecided, and Tang Cong suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance, with a look of surprise on his face.
And as they looked, they had come to a valley. Surrounded by mountains, undulating and undulating, it seems to be far away in the sky, and it seems to be close at hand.
What surprised Liu Xunyi the most was that there was a huge lake hidden here, and the lake was as smooth as a mirror, without a trace of wrinkles.
At the end of the lake, there are colorful flowers, lush and endless. 100 meters away, you can already smell a sober and rich fragrance wafting in the wind, all over the mountains, full of flowers, butterflies and bees, one after another.
This situation and this scene are intoxicating.
"This ...... Is this the Valley of Despair?"
Liu Xunyi walked to the deck in disbelief, looking at the endless sea of flowers in the distance, and closed his mouth in surprise.
"Outsiders only know the Valley of Despair, but they don't know that it has another name, called the Valley of Hundred Flowers. Chang Wu regretted saying, "At the beginning, this place was called Baihua Valley, and as for the name of 'Desperate Valley', it was taken by Granny Peach Blossom. ”
Pan Yuyin echoed: "When the master came here, he was trapped by love, so he named it 'Desperate Love'. ”
"Those Flower ......"
"It is a love flower, the flowering period is only seven days, but it can grow in all seasons, and the petals are gorgeous, the colors are varied, and each flower is different. Chang Wu regretted, "Just like the love in this world, beauty is always short-lived, but there are still countless infatuated men and women who come and go, flowers bloom and fall, and they are endless." ”
"This 'scene' should only exist in the sky, and it is rare to hear it in the world!"
Liu Xunyi raised his eyes and looked around, marveling at the sunny sky and blue sun, the clouds and the wind were clear, and the flowers were blooming, and at the same time, he only hated his father and mother for not giving him a few more eyes, so that he could be full of admiration.
"Huh, that ship is ......."
Looking around, Liu Xunyi inadvertently found that there was a big ship docked on the shore at this time.
"Second brother's boat?" Qian Longhu's suspicious voice suddenly sounded, "Why did he appear here? Didn't he send guests across the river? Why ......?"
"Something is wrong!"
Before Qian Long's words fell, Chang Wuregret's face suddenly changed, he stretched out his hand and pointed to a torn fishing net in the lake, and said urgently: "Someone trespassed into the Valley of Despair. Brother Qian, hurry up and get to the shore!"
Liu Xunyi was full of doubts and asked, "How can you see it?"
"This net is deliberately set up by the valley owner, if you enter the valley normally, the Qian brothers and the disciples in the valley will avoid this fishing net, and sail in through the gap on the east side, and only when uninvited guests arrive, will they break through the fishing net. Chang Wuregret said quickly, "Now, Second Brother Qian's boat is on the shore, and the fishing net in the lake is broken, as if Second Brother Qian deliberately released a signal to remind the valley owner that someone came uninvited. ”
Liu Xunyi reacted very quickly, and immediately decided: "The group of guests who crossed the river in the morning ...... I'm afraid that the comer is not good. ”
"You mean the second brother, he ......"
In a trance, Qian Long suddenly woke up, and then a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and the boat stretched out, and the light boat sped away towards the big boat.
Before the boat approached, Liu Xunyi, Chang Wuregret, and Tang Cong couldn't wait to fly up, climb Ping, tread water, jumped ten zhang in a row, and flew onto the big boat successively.
After searching for a while, he found that the ship was already empty, and there was no human figure in sight.
"It looks like they're in the valley. Liu Xunyi pondered.
"It's not that easy!" Chang said without regret, "There are many institutions in the valley, and it is difficult for outsiders to pass through the sea of flowers safely and soundly." ”
"So they took Qian Hu to lead the way?"
"Although the Qian brothers were able to sail so far, they never landed. Chang Wuregret frowned and analyzed, "Therefore, Qian Hu doesn't know anything about the institutions on the shore. ”
Liu Xunyi groaned: "Thinking like this, they will not go far." ”
"Bold dog thief, dare to trespass into the Valley of Despair, it's really impatient!" Chang Wuregret shouted angrily, "I let you have no return!"
As he spoke, the boat slowly landed, and Pan Yuyin, Qian Long, Mei Zichuan, and Bao'er landed one after another.
"What's going on? My second brother ...... him."
"Shh
Without waiting for Qian Longhuo to ask what was going on, Liu Xunyi suddenly looked serious, waved his hand and interrupted: "Listen! There is a fighting sound in the valley!"
"Humph!"
Chang Wuregret snorted coldly, turned around and raised his sword and swept towards the valley.
"Follow him!"
Liu Xunyi greeted, and then followed Chang Wu's steps without regrets, and rushed into the endless sea of flowers.
Twisting and turning, shuttling in the sea of flowers for a while, several people came to a clearing.
This is an open space that has been carved out by people with swords. As far as the eye can see, the ground is full of broken flowers and branches, which makes people feel sorry.
In the clearing, two groups of people are facing each other with swords.
More than a dozen people on the side of the Lingu were dressed very similarly to Chang Wuregret, and they were disciples of the Ruthless Valley.
On the side of the lake near the lake, more than a dozen people who looked like business travelers, all with swords and swords, seemed to be people in the rivers and lakes who were deliberately disguised.
Right now, the disciples of the Desperate Valley and this group of uninvited guests are hurting each other.
The difference is that there are only three or four disciples in the Desperate Valley, and the situation of this group of uninvited guests is much bleaker.
Half of them sat cross-legged behind them, looking pained and their eyes closed, as if they were doing their work to heal their wounds.
Strangely, none of them appeared to have any visible injuries.
"Second Senior Brother!"
The appearance of Chang without regrets made the disciples of the Desperate Valley overjoyed. On the other hand, the faces of this group of uninvited guests became more and more ugly.
"Second brother!"
When Qian Long saw Qian Hu lying on the side with an unknown life and death, his heart sank, and then he hurriedly rushed forward.
"What's going on?"
Chang Wuregret's eyes were full of anger, looking around at the broken ruthless flowers all over the ground, and asked the group of uninvited guests: "Who are you? Why did you trespass into the Valley of Despair? And why did you hurt people?"
On the other side, an old man at the head looked Chang Wuregret up and down with cold eyes, and said coldly: "It's useless to say more! My people were bitten by poisonous insects hidden in the sea of flowers, if you don't want my blood to stain this valley, you can quickly hand over the antidote, and then call your valley master out to see me." ”
Hearing this, Liu Xunyi suddenly felt familiar. So he stepped forward slowly, looking up with curiosity.
Just one glance, but he was surprised. The person who came turned out to be the three elders of the Kunlun faction, Leng Kongyang.
Liu Xunyi once had a relationship with him at the Golden Basin Handwashing Conference in Lufu, Jiangnan, Mozen.
"If you don't trespass into the Valley of Despair, how can you be bitten by poisonous insects?" Chang Yunzi snorted coldly, "You take the blame on yourself, and you dare to speak out?"
"Presumptuous!" Leng Kongyang shouted angrily, "If it weren't for the Ruthless Valley stealing the martial arts of my sect, how could the old man have the leisure to come to your evil land?"
"Since you know that it is the land of evil demons, then you should be prepared to come and go!" Chang Wuregret looked fierce, and said in an unkind tone, "I might as well tell you, being bitten by poisonous insects is not fatal, but if you smell the strange fragrance emitted by the ruthless flower at the same time, it will instantly turn into a highly poisonous, rotten flesh and bones, swallow internal organs, if you can't take the antidote within an hour, even if Da Luo Jin Immortal descends to earth, it will also teach you to die in Jiuquan!"
Hearing this, Leng Kongyang was horrified in his heart, and said coldly: "Boy, the acquaintance quickly handed over the antidote, and Hugh wants to toast and not eat and drink!"
"This is the Valley of Despair, it's not your turn to be here to command!" Chang Wuregret retorted, "I want to see, how do you make me eat and drink?"
"Okay, good!" Leng Kongyang laughed angrily, and nodded again and again, "Since you are stubborn, don't blame the old man for being ruthless." Today, I will first set foot in the Valley of Despair, and then take you back to Kunlun Mountain to punish the crime!"
