Chapter 168: Leading the Way
Shen Zhu's eyes rolled, and he held the palm of the stone, and subconsciously hid behind him.
Smack——!
Zhang Bucheng didn't know what spell he used, Shen Zhu only felt that the back of his hand felt as if he had been hit by a water-stained leather whip, which was painful and spicy.
"Don't you know everything? In front of us, you don't want to play tricks. Zhang Bu said slowly.
Shen Zhu's face was bitter, and he remembered that there was a ruthless character behind him, so he could only say truthfully: "This is the ...... we picked up from the Phantom Sound Valley."
Ye Ling was noncommittal to his words, stretched out his hand, hooked his finger and said, "Show it to me." ”
Shen Zhu swallowed and handed the stone to Ye Ling's hand.
Immediately, a vast starry sky power flowed in Ye Ling's body.
Star Stone!
Although Ye Ling couldn't be sure that it was the Celestial Star Stone at the moment, this powerful energy could not be faked.
"Do you know where this stone came from?"
Shen Zhu shook his head quickly.
"Do you know how precious he is?"
Shen Zhu shook his head, then nodded again, very confused.
"You said you picked up this stone, tell me, where did you pick it up?"
"In the nest of the white peacock. He replied sincerely, "This is not a lie. ”
"That's right, I was hunting with my little sister in southern Xinjiang to make a living, and when I arrived near Peacock Town, I happened to see a beautiful white peacock, as a hunter, I naturally wanted to get my hands on its feathers and sell them for a good price......
"And then?" Ye Ling asked.
"Then it rained in the valley, and we managed to keep up with the white peacock with great difficulty, stepping on slippery stones, until we followed him back to the nest. ”
"Where's the lair?"
"The Valley of Phantom Sounds goes all the way west, wading through three streams, and it lives by the third stream. Shen Zhu gestured with his hand.
"Originally, I was going to hunt the peacock first, but my little sister said that it was too beautiful, not an ordinary beast, and did not let me hurt it, and we had an argument by the stream, and when the peacock found it, it hurriedly flew away. ”
"I thought to myself, even if I don't have a whole peacock, I can pick up some peacock feathers, so I started wading through the stream, and when I was wading in the water, this shiny stone attracted my idea. ”
Ye Ling and Zhang Buyi glanced at each other.
Looking at Shen Zhu's expression, he really didn't look like he was lying.
But a unique Tianxing Stone will be scattered in the creek at will, which is impossible for anyone.
It is impossible for Ye Jiancheng to bury the Tianxing Stone in the stream, the mountains and rivers have been turning around for thousands of years, and these streams may be diverted and disappear at any time.
There are many rare birds and beasts in Phantom Sound Valley, and if you leave a shiny pebble, sooner or later it will be taken away by them, which is not a place for a normal person to choose.
For now, there is only one possibility left, that is, this Tianxing Stone was washed down somewhere in the upper reaches of the creek, and the place where Ye Jiancheng hid the stone is likely to have broken and collapsed with the change of the earth's leylines.
Ye Ling took the stone away, and the Seven Star Sword was also put into its sheath.
"Alright, that's it for tonight, you can go back. ”
When Shen Zhu heard this, he immediately smiled.
Ye Ling then poured a basin of cold water over him: "Explain your identity to everyone tomorrow morning, and then be a guide for me, take us into the Phantom Sound Valley, and go to that stream to have a look." ”
Shen Zhu had long thought that Ye Ling might ask them to confess the truth to the villagers, this was an inevitable thing, and he was destined to be blamed and cursed by the villagers.
But now, these don't seem to be a problem, compared to his honest identity, entering the Phantom Sound Valley as a guide is the most important thing for him.
The last time I went back and forth from the Phantom Sound Valley, I happened to catch the rain when I went, and I didn't encounter miasma or poisonous insects and beasts along the way.
But on the way back, color-winged bloodthirsty butterflies, sword-tongued lizards, giant centipedes, red flame apes, and all kinds of "immortals" came one after another, almost killing their brothers and sisters.
It was also at that time that he inadvertently discovered the characteristics of the Celestial Star Stone that could shoot out stars.
It was a nightmare experience and he didn't want to go through it again.
"Three heroes, there are many locals in the town who specialize in guides, why don't you look for them, but instead of our brother and sister, these two outsiders?" said Shen Zhu with a bitter face.
"The first reason for this is that I asked the local guides, they have a rule, no matter how much money they give, they can't go deep into the Phantom Sound Valley, they can only lead us around the neighborhood. ”
"The second reason is that I just want to see if you two are lying to me. Ye Ling played with the Heavenly Star Stone Dao.
"You're not lying, really, you believe me. ”
"Believe it or not, you will know when you get to the place. Ye Ling didn't let go at all.
In this way, the Shen brothers and sisters really had no choice, and promised to go to Phantom Sound Valley tomorrow, and after they came back, they would apologize to the villagers.
After this, their brother and sister are also leaving, the lie is exposed, and they are destined to stay without face.
............
The next day, Ye Ling woke up from the tavern in the town.
Peacock Villas lives mainly by collecting jewelry, unlike the farmers in the plains, who need to get up early and stay late.
The time of the rooster's crowing has long passed, and the streets and alleys of the town are still deserted.
After the three of them washed up, they had a simple breakfast and went to find the Shen brothers and sisters.
"Brother Ye, you said they wouldn't run away overnight, right?" Jia Yong raised his concerns.
"No, don't look at the two of them who were bluffed by us yesterday, they didn't dare to gasp, in fact, if you carefully observe their words and deeds, including their performance when fighting, you can find that these two children are also quite arrogant people. ”
"Hey, I'm arrogant and pretending to be someone else's name. Jia Yong sneered.
"Don't argue between the two of you, the bamboo building is right in front of you, let's just take a look. ”
When the three of them came to the bamboo building, they saw that Ye Ling's wood carved head on the ground had still not been moved.
I don't know who came up with the idea, but this head is now covered with a red cloth.
"Ye Ling, the big red hijab is good. Zhang joked.
Ye Ling smiled helplessly and walked up to the bamboo building by himself.
"What about people?"
As Jia Yong said, there is no one in this bamboo building now.
"Look, I'll just say—"
Jia Yong was halfway through speaking, only to see Shen Zhu carrying two oiled paper bags and walking slowly up the bamboo ladder.
"Ye-Boss Ye. He quickly changed his tune.
Ye Ling allowed Shen Zhu to be Ye Ling for another period of time, so at present, he, the deity, will be temporarily called Boss Ye.
"What are you doing here?" Jia Yong asked.
Shen Zhu raised his hands, "You have also seen it, buy breakfast, Ah Tao's little sister likes to eat Peacock Town's salted meat sesame cakes the most, and she is about to leave, I will buy her more, and she can eat it on the road." ”
Anyway, this eldest brother's friendship with his little sister is indeed real.
