Chapter 107: Wind Moon Valley
There is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the people, this is a sentence left over from ancient times, and it is also an indisputable fact. There are no invincible generals, and there is no invincible god of war in the world, there are too many people and things in the world that you have not seen or even heard of. There may be peerless masters hidden everywhere, just because you are not qualified enough to enter their world, and this is the rivers and lakes.
Wuxin dragged a heavy stretcher, walking in the dense forest, under the guidance of the woman, I don't know how many times I changed directions along the way, and even Wuxin himself couldn't tell what direction he was walking in now.
No one spoke along the way, all remained silent, the child silently took care of the seriously injured woman, the woman's eyes were gently closed, and only when she needed to change direction would she open her eyes and tell Wuxin, and Wuxin did not take the initiative to break the silence.
Because silence was the best cover for him, he wished that the woman would not say anything, ask nothing, or else he would have to find an excuse to prevaricate. If the woman knew that she was going to Fengyue Valley on purpose, then she might never be able to go, and she would probably never be able to get out of this boundless and endless dense forest.
Wuxin is now very sure that the woman and the child are definitely from Fengyue Valley, because when he went to pick up the branches just now, he accidentally found that the branches at the edge of the dense forest were cut with sharp weapons, and the traces should be with a sword, and there are traces left by the sword blade on the surrounding stumps, which should be a martial arts training ground, a place for people to practice swords.
The few black-clothed men who fell in a pool of blood should be the secret sentry lurking in the dense forest, and rushed there after hearing the sound of fighting, which is why he didn't find a secret post all the way. I didn't expect that I had inadvertently saved the people in Fengyue Valley, so it became logical for me to want to enter Fengyue Valley.
Unintentionally walking, while trying to memorize the route in his mind, preparing for his future evacuation, but found that there was no trace at all, too many directions were changed along the way, and there were no rules to be found, so I couldn't remember it at all.
This situation made Wuxin feel a little frustrated, it seemed that it was more difficult to get out of this Fengyue Valley than to go in. At this moment, the woman, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
"Who are you, and why are you here?" said the woman as she looked at Wuxin's back, frowning, her face getting paler and paler, and the blood and wounds all over her body had made her a little unable to hold on.
Wuxin's eyes narrowed, and he said lightly: "A swordsman who wanders the world." As he spoke, he unconsciously quickened his pace, hoping to get out of the dense forest as soon as possible and find the Valley of the Wind Moon before the woman noticed.
The woman's brow furrowed even deeper when she heard the unintentional words, and she opened her mouth to say something, but was interrupted by an exclamation from the child next to her.
"Third uncle!" the child pointed ahead in surprise and shouted loudly, with a hint of joy on his face.
Wuxin and the woman followed the child's shout, and looked forward at the same time, and found that a middle-aged man slowly walked out of the dense forest in front of him, followed by a group of black-clothed people.
Seeing the group of people who suddenly appeared, he unintentionally stopped and looked at the middle-aged man who walked out on. This person was dressed the same as the woman behind him, also wearing a white robe, but compared with the woman, he was a little more heroic, holding a long sword in his hand, and was squinting at Wuxin, with a hint of surprise on his face, it seemed that he was a little surprised that Wuxin appeared.
The two of them were expressionless, staring at each other's eyes tightly, as if trying to see through everything hidden under each other's eyes.
The group of black-clothed people behind the middle-aged man were also stunned when they saw Wuxin, they all held the weapons in their hands, looked at Wuxin vigilantly, and slowly moved their steps, surrounding Wuxin along with the women and children behind him. The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, as if there was a possibility of a trigger.
"Who are you?" The middle-aged man stared at Wuxin's eyes and asked coldly, his voice was thick, and a wave of battle intent pounced on Wuxin, as if he could make a move against Wuxin at any time.
Wuxin slowly put down the stretcher in his hand, smiled helplessly, and said lightly: "You are the third person to ask me this question today." "It doesn't seem to feel the other party's vigorous fighting intent at all, and it still looks unusually relaxed.
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, probably because he didn't expect Wuxin on the other side to be so relaxed, and he was unmoved by his strong fighting intent. I saw him ask again and again, "Who are you?" the same question, but the tone was not as polite as just now.
At this moment, the woman sitting behind Wuxin spoke, only to see her struggling to sit up straight, and said slowly: "Shuo'er and I were attacked, and he saved us." ”
The middle-aged man retracted his cold gaze, looked at the woman behind Wuxin, his face was shocked, and asked in a deep voice: "Who hurt you, how are you hurt?" The middle-aged man's attention was all on Wuxin's body just now, and he didn't even notice that the woman behind him was seriously injured, maybe because no outsiders had been here for too long.
The woman shook her head and said slowly, "I'm fine, it's just that Shuo'er was frightened." The other party is a group of red-clothed people with masked faces, and they are very good at martial arts, if this little brother hadn't appeared in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Because she had said too many things at once, and the wounds on her body were touched, the woman's face became even more ugly, and there was no trace of blood on her face.
When the middle-aged man heard this, his face was solemn, and he hurriedly said to a black-clothed man beside him: "Hurry up and go back and inform Guli, just say that the second lady and Shuo'er have been found and are ready to heal." ”
After listening to the middle-aged man's words, the man in black didn't say a word, nodded and quickly rushed into the dense forest behind him, and went back to report the news.
The middle-aged man looked at Wuxin, and then said to the remaining black-clothed man beside him: "A few of you hurry up and carry the second lady back, and the others go to the front to take a look, check the origin of that group, and see if there is any living mouth." ”
As soon as the words fell, several men in black hurriedly walked to Wuxin's side, lifted the stretcher and returned to the way they came, while the remaining men in black quickly rushed in the direction where Wuxin and the woman came.
Unintentionally looked at the woman and child who were carried away, and did not stop it, and there was no reason to stop it, originally this was the best opportunity for him to blend into Fengyue Valley, but he didn't expect to accidentally meet the people who came out of the valley to find the woman and child. Probably because it was already dark at this time, and the woman and the child had not returned, they sent people out to look for her, but they did not expect that the woman was seriously injured.
The middle-aged man looked at Wuxin, his eyes stayed on the knife in Wuxin's hand for a moment, hesitated, and said slowly, "Please." ”
Wuxin heard the middle-aged man's words, he was stunned for a moment, then nodded and followed behind the man in black. He didn't expect the middle-aged man to take the initiative to invite him to go back with him, originally thinking that the other party would give him an eviction order after taking the woman. Maybe it's because the other party is still not worried about his identity, and he doesn't want to let himself go easily.
But these are not important, the important thing is that you can still swagger into Fengyue Valley without intention.
The group walked for a long time in the dense forest, which was gradually getting dark, and finally saw a glimmer of light ahead.
After not going far, everyone finally walked out of the boundless dense forest, and a wide valley appeared in front of them. At this time, candles were already lit in the valley, and it was bright. This is the Valley of the Wind and Moon, a place that has been hidden for decades.
Looking at the valley in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh, who would have thought that in this endless deep mountain and old forest, there would be such a hidden place.
The valley is surrounded by dense forests, and there is no end in sight, and the dense forest behind them is just one of them, no wonder they can hide for so many years without being discovered, even if someone can enter, they will definitely not be able to get out.
What's more, there are still many hidden masters in the valley, and even a woman has the strength of one against ten, which is really incredible, if this group of people appears on the rivers and lakes, which sect is their opponent?
Soon, Wuxin followed the people of Fengyue Valley into the valley, and there were already people waiting at the mouth of the valley. Seeing everyone coming back, a middle-aged man hurriedly rushed over, ran to the stretcher carrying the woman, checked the woman's injury, and said anxiously: "How is the injury? Shuo'er is not injured?"
"Dad, my mother has shed a lot of blood, and they are all bad people. When the child saw the appearance of the middle-aged man, he couldn't hold back his tears anymore, and suddenly burst out of his eyes, crying and saying.
The woman shook her head and said slowly, "I'm fine, don't worry." A smile of relief appeared on his face, and his complexion improved a lot.
"Okay, Shuo'er doesn't cry, the man doesn't flick when he has tears, it's okay, it's okay. The middle-aged man touched the child's forehead kindly and said, stretched out his hand to carry the child off the stretcher, and then looked at the woman and said: "There is a place for sword practice in the valley, you want to go to the mountains, what if something really happens?" There was a hint of complaint in his tone, but there was a look of worry on his face.
"Okay, second brother, my sister-in-law has lost too much blood and must be treated immediately. At this time, the middle-aged man who was called "third uncle" by the child reminded him.
The child's father reacted at this time, probably panicked by this accident that had never happened, and hurriedly said to several black-clothed people carrying the stretcher: "Quick, carry it in." Before the words fell, several men in black quickly carried stretchers and walked towards the valley.
The child's father glanced at Wuxin and said in a deep voice, "Thank you." Then he picked up the child and ran after the man in black into the valley.
Wuxin looked at the family of three who quickly disappeared from his sight, and there was a trace of strangeness in his heart, shook his head, drove away the trace of melancholy in his mind, and began to observe this place that has been legendary for decades.
I guessed correctly, the black-clothed men who died in the dense forest were indeed the secret sentinels planted in the dense forest by Fengyue Valley, because all the subordinates standing here at the moment were dressed the same as those in the dense forest. It seems that they usually dress uniformly, and the women and the two middle-aged people in front of and behind are all dressed in white robes, black and white, and the master and servant are orderly and distinct.
"Please. When he was observing inadvertently, the middle-aged man on the side made a gesture of please again and said in a deep voice.
Wuxin glanced at the other middle-aged people who didn't ask him along the way, nodded, and walked towards the valley, since he came, he had to find a way to stay in the valley first, and then he could find out where the person who the Seven Sages wanted to save was locked up.
Walking into the valley mouth, you will see one courtyard after another, lined up on both sides of the main road, I don't know how big it is, I only see that the courtyard is surrounded by guards, and I see the appearance of Wuxin, the eyes of the guards who originally did not squint all looked at Wuxin, and it was probably a long time since I saw outsiders here.
At this moment, an old man in a gray robe walked over. When he approached, he glanced at Wuxin, bowed slightly to the middle-aged man, and said softly: "Second son, the eldest prince has been waiting in the front hall for a long time. ”
The middle-aged man nodded, took the lead and walked forward, unintentionally silent, and slowly followed.
The old man in gray looked at Wuxin, who passed by him, and frowned slightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes......
