Chapter Twenty-Six: Counting is Counting
Ruan Ruan and the three of them discussed, but there was still no good way, so they could only agree to Elder Zhao's request first, and then act at the opportunity.
Elder Zhao was not surprised at all by the fact that the three of them came, but he was cunning and cunning, and he didn't care when he saw a few hairy boys on the other side, and he wasn't worried that they would be able to jump out of his palm.
However, Elder Zhao was not alone, and he also brought two helpers.
These two people turned out to be the black and white envoys that Ruan Ruan had seen when he was a child.
Ruan Ruan was angry in his heart, but he still pretended to be a stranger on the surface, and greeted the two.
The black and white envoy thinks very highly of himself, and he doesn't pay attention to the three boys who act as pathfinders, and he doesn't even bother to look at them.
Ruan Ruan's appearance has changed a lot now compared to a few years ago, and the black and white envoys didn't notice his existence back then, and they don't know his identity at this moment.
Several people walked all the way west from the Golden Sword Gate.
A few days later, the group came to a hidden valley.
"Ahead is the destination of our trip, this valley is called the Valley of the Void Spirit, which we explored many years ago. However, over the years, it has not been able to break through one of the dangers. Elder Zhao introduced.
In the Void Spirit Valley, Ruan Ruan and the three exchanged glances with each other.
Isn't this where the Void Valley is, and the three of them can be sure that this trip is to explore the Void Valley.
"I don't know what my predecessors are looking for, it takes so long. Ruan Ruan asked casually.
Elder Zhao snorted, "My Golden Sword Sect has an extremely important sect token hidden here, but the descendants have lost the way to enter here. So for many years, I have been trying to find this thing. ”
If it weren't for the people of the Du family who were still trapped in the Golden Sword Gate, Ruan Ruan would have taken the lives of these three people with a single sword.
Qiu Meili took out a bottle of wine and took a sip, "I don't know how Elder Zhao plans to enter." ”
Elder Zhao smiled mysteriously, "Let's go in first, there will be a place to ask a few people in a while." ”
Elder Zhao was the first to enter the valley, followed by the others.
The valley is lush with trees and a faint fragrance of wildflowers all over the ground. Yellow chrysanthemums, red sunflowers, white dandelions, and blue hibiscus flowers form a colorful picture.
Ruan Ruan was not attracted by the sight in his eyes, and there was a throbbing in his heart. It was in this beautiful valley that fierce battles once took place. More than ten years ago, Xugu was washed in blood by the Golden Sword Gate, and he seemed to be able to see the sword collide, the true qi was agitated, and the blood stained the earth red.
"This is the gateway to the valley. Elder Zhao pointed to an inconspicuous earthen bag in front of him.
The people followed the prestige and saw that the earthen bag was unremarkable, and looked like a large tomb from the outside.
Elder Zhao took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom, poured out a few drops of red liquid, and dripped them on a stone tablet in front of the earthen bag.
The stele glowed faintly, and the earthen bag slowly cracked open a passageway, and the entrance was swarthy and led underground.
"It turns out that there is such a mechanism, I don't know what the predecessors used to open here. Zhu Zixin was very curious.
Elder Zhao smiled grimly, revealing a mouthful of uneven yellow teeth, "Some human blood." ”
The crowd walked through the passage and entered the passage.
Elder Zhao walked in front, holding a night pearl in his hand, and the glowing light illuminated the passage of the black hole. After Ruan Ruan and the three of them were promoted to congenital, they could see in the dark, and in order not to expose their strength, they also followed closely behind.
After walking for half an hour, a gate appeared in front of me. Elder Zhao still dripped a few drops of blood, and the gate slowly opened, and a light shone in, and it was actually in the inner valley.
Contrary to the scenery outside, there is a clearing in front of you, and small houses are located. A small stream runs through the entire valley and flows into the distance.
Ruan Ruan deliberately made a surprised look, "The environment here is good, I don't know who lived here before." ”
Elder Zhao was a little proud, "This place was originally a place of deep valleys, and it was incorporated by my Golden Sword Gate, and we are going to open the secret room here this time." ”
"It seems that the secret room is not simple. Ruan Ruan said tentatively.
"Actually, it's nothing, but there are so many forks in the road that it's easy to get lost in it. "Elder Zhao's tone is very tight.
"I don't know what my predecessors are looking for, so I'll make a difference. Ruan Ruan continued to ask.
"Let's go in first, after all, you can't go inside, and it's useless to say anything. Elder Zhao was reluctant to discuss this topic anymore and continued to move forward.
Passing by the houses on both sides of the stream, you can see the warmth of the past. It's just that it has been deserted for many years, dusty everywhere, and you can still see from the broken walls, there are traces of swords.
Zhu Zixin saw that there was a well in front of him, so he wanted to go over and get some water to drink, but Elder Zhao reminded him from the side, "There were a lot of corpses in that well back then, if you don't like it, you can drink it." ”
Zhu Zixin shivered and silently gave up the idea of fetching water.
Qiu Meili walked over and patted him on the shoulder and handed him a bottle of wine. Zhu Zixin was moved and was about to thank him, Qiu Meili said in a low voice: "Fifty credits." ”
Zhu Zixin drank the wine with a sad face, and secretly cursed Qiu Meili in his heart.
"Here we are, here it is. ”
In front of Elder Zhao was a large palace.
Compared to the small cottage of the past, it looks like a large castle.
The magnificent palace gate is closed, and the two stone pillars at the door are carved with lifelike coiling dragon patterns. The two gates are cast like stainless steel, and they are ten zhang high.
Ruan Ruan was very curious, "How to get in." ”
Elder Zhao smiled, "It's time for you to contribute here, do you see the pillar at the door?"
Zhu Zixin stepped forward and touched the stone pillar, pushing hard left and right, and had no clue at all.
Elder Zhao said again: "This stone pillar must be infused with true qi, and when it reaches a certain level, the gate will be opened. ”
The three of them secretly cursed in their hearts, if all the true qi was consumed here, wouldn't they become lambs to be slaughtered.
"But I don't know how much true qi is needed for this stone pillar, our skills are shallow, and I'm afraid we are not qualified for it. Ruan Ruan deliberately pushed.
"You just do your best, and the three of us will make up for it if it's not enough. "Elder Zhao swears.
"So...... Let's give it a try. Ruan Ruan glanced at the other two.
The three of them surrounded the stone pillar and began to slowly input the true qi, and after a cup of tea, the stone pillar did not change at all.
Ruan Ruan shouted: "Senior, is your method correct, why is there no movement at all?"
Elder Zhao's eyes narrowed slightly, "There's no need to keep it, just use your strength to cross the True Qi in." ”
Ruan Ruan and the others continued to input their true qi, and after a short while, the stone pillar gradually reacted, faintly emitting a white light. A few people are running a sea of qi gently, and the consumption is self-contained, but for the innate realm of a few people, it is very small.
Elder Zhao was also in a good mood when he saw the changes in the stone pillar, but there was a little more ruthlessness in his eyes when he looked at a few people.
After a while, the light of the stone pillar became stronger again, but the gate remained unmoving. Although Ruan Ruan and the others did not consume much, they still made an all-out appearance, and even the slightest heat began to emerge from their foreheads.
"Senior, hurry up, a few of us are running out of strength. Ruan Ruan shouted.
Elder Zhao and the black and white envoy watched coldly, and kept urging a few people, "Well, it's just a matter of working hard." ”
Finally, when Ruan Ruan and the others were about to collapse, Elder Zhao and the black and white envoys took over. The stone pillars shone brightly, and the gate opened.
