Chapter 108: Rockery Phantom Forest
There is nothing difficult in the world but afraid of people with hearts, dripping water through stones, iron pestles into needles, are allusions to this truth, but not everyone can have such perseverance, after all, sometimes in the face of difficulties and obstacles, a person's strength often seems too small, not everyone will sacrifice everything in order to achieve the goal. But there are always some people who do it when they know they can't do it, just for the perseverance and hope in their hearts.
In a ruined temple that was very old, but looked to have been abandoned for a long time, there was a person kneeling under the altar, a man dressed in red and veiled on his face, bowing his head respectfully, and he didn't dare to breathe. I saw him say softly: "The plan has been successfully completed, and the idea has successfully entered the enemy, but the people we sent have been killed by him." As he spoke, he quietly raised his head and looked ahead of him.
In the direction directly in front of the man in red, a figure stood in front of the altar with his back to him, his hands behind his back, standing there motionless, only the faint moonlight in the dim temple, and he couldn't see the person's appearance clearly.
Hearing the words of the man in red, the man's body moved, and the fists behind his back instantly clenched, only to hear him say in a deep voice: "Has the scene been dealt with?" There was a hint of murder in the cold voice.
"Not a trace was left. The man in red replied in the affirmative.
The evening breeze blew lightly, through the dilapidated walls, blowing a few wisps of green tents in the temple, as well as the corners of the clothes of the two people standing and kneeling, and a mysterious aura filled the air......
Wuxin followed the middle-aged man to a three-story hall located in the deepest part of Fengyue Valley, and the main entrance of the main hall was facing the direction of Taniguchi, as if it was specially used to entertain guests from afar.
On a chair in the center of the main hall, there was a person sitting upright, a middle-aged man who was slightly older than the middle-aged man next to Wuxin and the husband of the woman he had seen before, with a neatly groomed goatee, and a hint of majesty between his eyebrows, looking at Wuxin who walked in from outside.
Seeing Wuxin coming in, there was a kind smile on his face, but under the eyes that almost wanted to see through people's hearts, this smile seemed to make people's backs chill and wary. I saw him say slowly: "Thank you Shaoxia for taking a righteous action and saving me from the people in Fengyue Valley." When he said this, he was still looking Wuxin up and down, as if he wanted to see Wuxin thoroughly from the inside out.
Wuxin smiled and said lightly: "The effort of raising your hands is not enough to worry about." Wuxin was also looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, who looked like the highest status in this valley, but he didn't just have a trace of doubt, because he had heard Tie Xiong say that Fengyue Valley had become famous twenty years ago, but looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, he was only in his thirties, could it be that he had already stood alone in martial arts when he was a teenager?
The middle-aged man nodded and continued: "But I don't know why the young man walked into this deep mountain and old forest alone, to be honest, there have been no outsiders here for a long time. As he spoke, he stared at Wuxin's eyes, and there was still a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Unintentionally looked directly at the middle-aged man's eyes full of meaning, and said lightly: "It's just a trip to the mountains and rivers, but I didn't expect that the people who happened to meet Guigu were in danger, and I couldn't see that I could bully more and less, so I just made a move." If there have been no outsiders here for a long time, then it can only be said that there are too many cowards in this world, maybe they were scared away by the stone tablet in the forest where the trespasser died, or maybe they just didn't make it into this valley alive. ”
When the middle-aged man heard this, he was stunned for a moment, stroked his goatee with a smile, and said with a smile: "Oh, so you are a person who is not afraid of death?" Although he was smiling, his eyes were shining.
"Afraid, everyone is afraid of death, but if you are afraid of death, you don't have to die, then there will not be so many people in the rivers and lakes who will become dead souls, since it is useless, what is the point of not being afraid. Wuxin replied lightly, looking relaxed.
Listening to Wuxin's answer, the middle-aged man smiled even brighter, probably never heard this kind of statement, slowly stood up, walked to Wuxin's body, and said slowly: "I am the valley master of this Fengyue Valley, Dongfang Qi, this is my third junior brother Dongfang Bai next to you, my second junior brother Dongfang Xian You should have already seen it, you saved his wife, I don't know what to call Shaoxia?"
"Unknown junior, why is the owner of the Oriental Valley worried. Wuxin smiled, shook his head and said.
Seeing that Wuxin was reluctant to say his name, Dongfang Bai, who was standing on the side, looked unhappy, probably thinking that the senior brother had already said the names of the three senior brothers, including himself, but Wuxin avoided answering a little bit unexpectedly, and was about to have a seizure, but he heard a heavy footstep coming from behind him, and couldn't help but look behind him.
A man in black walked in quickly, bowed to Dongfang Qi and Dongfang Bai in the main hall, looked at Wuxin and then stopped talking. This man in black was one of the people who appeared in the dense forest with Dongfang Bai, and at that time, Dongfang Bai ordered him and the rest of the men in black to go to the martial arts training ground to investigate, and they had already turned back at this time.
Dongfang Qi glanced at the man in black, then turned to Wuxin and said: "Since the young man is unwilling to say his name, I am inconvenient to force it, it is not early, so please let the young man rest first, and tomorrow there will be a banquet to entertain the young man for his righteous action." "Although it is an eviction order, it is said that it is the truth, and there is no trace.
Wuxin nodded, didn't speak again, and followed a man in black who led the way out of the main hall and walked towards a nearby courtyard. The reason why he didn't reveal his real name was because he didn't know that although Fengyue Valley seemed to have been silent on the rivers and lakes for twenty years, everything here could prove that although it had fallen silent, it had not declined because of this, and it must still have a connection with the rivers and lakes, if he said his real name, it was likely to increase the difficulty of what he was going to do next, he was not stupid.
After leaving unintentionally, Dongfang Bai took the lead in looking at the black-clothed man who came back to recover his life, and asked in a deep voice, "How is it?
The man in black shook his head and said with a heavy face: "No, there is no figure there, even our own people are gone, we have expanded the scope of search around, but we found nothing, as if they disappeared out of thin air." ”
After listening to the words of the man in black, not only Dongfang Bai frowned, but even Dongfang Qidu's face became solemn, and they didn't know what was going on.
On the way back, Dongfang Bai had already listened to his second sister-in-law narrate the scene at that time, and learned that several of his secret sentinels were killed by the people in red, and the people in red later died at the hands of Wuxin, but now they all disappeared suddenly, which is really a little weird.
Dongfang Qi narrowed his eyes, and said slowly with a calm face: "Send someone to keep an eye on that young man, he is by no means as simple as he seems on the surface. ”
Dongfang Bai nodded, as if he suddenly thought of something, looked at Dongfang Qi and said, "Could it be related to those two people?"
Dongfang Qi frowned, and said slowly: "It's not clear now, it's the fox that always shows its tail, keep an eye on him." ”
Dongfang Bai nodded, stopped talking, and exited the hall with the man in black, leaving Dongfang Qi alone, frowning, and fell into deep thought......
The man in black took Wuxin to a bedroom in the courtyard and left, and in a short time someone brought a simple but elegant dinner, as well as a towel and a washbasin for washing, and after putting these things down, the men also left, and no one said a word the whole time, as if they only knew what they had to do and what they would do, not talk.
Unintentionally and didn't say much, this was the result he hoped for, after all, going deep behind enemy lines, saying more might bring unnecessary danger to himself.
After running around in the dense forest, his body was indeed dirty, and after a simple grooming, he unintentionally ate all the dinner he sent. The well-fed Wuxin did not go to bed early as the master hoped, but stood in front of the window and observed the outside environment, he had already made up his mind to take advantage of the night to go out to investigate, after all, the night is long and dreamy, and the longer it drags on, the more likely it is to be exposed.
Gradually, as time passed, it was late at night, and the lights in the distance were gradually extinguished, and there was no longer half a figure in sight, and it was time to act.
After listening to the surrounding movements, and after making sure that there was nothing abnormal, he gently pushed open his door, tiptoed out, tapped his toes on the ground, jumped on the roof quickly, and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
Not long after Wuxin left, a white shadow suddenly flashed from a corner of the courtyard, and without hesitation, he followed in the direction of Wuxin's departure......
The size of the Wind Moon Valley exceeded unintentional expectations, and several courtyards were swept through one after another, but no suspicious places were found, and no places where people might be detained. To be honest, I don't know if the person I want to save is still alive, maybe he has already been killed by the people of Fengyue Valley. But he had to look for it, because this might be the only way for him to get Ruyi out of the Xianwang Mansion safely.
The guards guarding the valley and the black-clothed men patrolling the valley without stopping their patrols didn't notice that there was a black shadow jumping back and forth above their heads at this time, and probably they wouldn't have thought that someone would dare to be so unscrupulous in this Fengyue Valley.
At this moment, Wuxin suddenly found a courtyard that was different from other places, and couldn't help but stop, because there were only two guards guarding this courtyard, and they were only guarding the door of the courtyard, and there were not layers of guards like other courtyards. The more sparse the guards, the more secrets they may hide.
Wuxin did not hesitate, and took advantage of the inattention of the two guards guarding the door, and fell into the courtyard. There is a rockery in the middle of the courtyard, and the rockery is surrounded by some bushes of different heights, surrounding the rockery. Behind the rockery, there is a circular arch, and behind the arch is pitch black, and it is not clear what it is.
Seeing the dark arch behind the rockery, Wuxin moved in his heart, walked over, and in order to hide his whereabouts, Wuxin chose to walk between the trees and the rockery, but it didn't take long for him to regret it.
Seeing that the arch was in front of him, but Wuxin felt that he was going farther and farther, not only did he get closer to the arch, but he got farther and farther, walking out of a bush and a bush, and walking through a rockery, as if there was no end. Originally, he was worried that there were some hidden guards in this strange courtyard, so he walked straight into the rockery trees, but he didn't expect to walk into a seemingly boundless mountain forest.
Now he finally understood why there were only two guards at the door of this courtyard, because in this seemingly empty courtyard, there were hidden mysteries and dangers. He knew that he might have triggered some mechanism and walked into the illusion, and if he couldn't find a way to remove the mechanism, he might never be able to get out of this rockery illusion forest.
Wuxin was still walking, changing directions, but no matter how he changed directions, the dark arch always appeared directly in front of him, as if beckoning him to walk over. The surrounding trees and rockeries are all exactly the same, and there is no trace at all, and it is impossible to find a pattern.
Wuxin's heart gradually sank, and his brows furrowed, if he couldn't go out like this, he would be discovered by the people of Fengyue Valley sooner or later, and he would not be able to tell if he had a mouth at that time.
When he was at a loss, he suddenly heard a faint knocking sound from the oblique side, which came into his ears intermittently, and after hesitating for a moment, he walked quickly in the direction where the sound came from......
