Chapter 105: Return to the Valley of the Shadows
After leaving this mountain forest, the question of where to go becomes extremely important.
What happens if you flee to other countries?
Zhang Feiyang felt that this idea could be put aside for the time being.
Because, the time is not ripe yet.
Whether other countries are as dangerous as the Immortal Cultivation Sect of Wu State, he still doesn't know anything.
If the environment for cultivating immortals in other countries is better than that of Wu State, then it is the best choice to go naturally.
In this way, he could find a quiet place, cultivate slowly, and regain the lost cultivation.
But what if the environment for cultivating immortals in foreign countries is even worse?
Zhang Feiyang didn't dare to think about it.
Because, if it is really worse, I am afraid that he has just stepped into the immortal cultivation realm of another country, and he will become the target of others' slaughter.
He finally came to this point, so that his cultivation reached the Great Perfection realm of the Qi Refining Period, and now even if he has fallen to the late stage of the Qi Refining Period, at least he is alive, and there will always be a time when his cultivation recovers, and this situation is naturally not what he wants to see.
Thinking of this, Zhang Feiyang thought about it, but still felt that he would stay in Wu for the time being.
In this way, he guarded the mouth of the hippopotamus monster for two or three days, and when the hippopotamus monster finally escaped to a safe place and began to bow his head to graze, he shot out with a little feet and his body like an arrow from the string, and got out of the hippopotamus's mouth and into a remote barren mountain.
Zhang Feiyang didn't know what kind of place this was, but at least there were no people here, and there was no danger.
He found some leaves, knitted them with needlework, and put them on the outside, and then walked out of the mountains and forests, disguised as a wild man in the mortal world, and came to a small mountain village.
Then, through careful inquiries with the villagers in the mountain village, he figured out where he was, and Zhang Feiyang used the spirit stone to buy some dry food and water, and set out on the journey again.
Three days later, when he had crossed four mountains and crossed a great river, and came to a halt, a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, with a narrow and hidden entrance, and full of all kinds of green shoots, appeared before him.
Zhang Feiyang raised his eyes and saw three familiar figures anxiously looking forward to the door, like three children looking forward to their parents returning home as soon as possible, and their eyes were full of worry.
He smiled slightly, took off his fur hat, revealed an extremely ordinary face, and walked towards the three familiar figures.
The three people were two women and one man, and when they saw Zhang Feiyang coming, their eyes were full of tears, and they cried with joy, regardless of what identity was different from men and women, they threw themselves into Zhang Feiyang's arms together, and hugged his neck, waist and arms tightly, for fear that as soon as he let go, Zhang Feiyang would run away.
"Master. You're finally back. Uncle Shi said that something happened to you, and we were all worried about death. ”
"yes. Master. It's good for you to come back. This is your home. The Valley of the Hidden Men is also the name you gave it. We're much safer here than outside. There is no shortage of water and food nearby, and wild fruits are abundant. ”
"Senior brother. Didn't you say that you would follow me to the Valley of the Hidden Men in a moment? Why did you delay for three days? I thought you were in some danger. Did something happen in between?"
At the same time, the three of them were either excited or curious to ask Zhang Feiyang about what happened in the past three days, and Zhang Feiyang was a little dizzy when he heard it, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
waited until the voices of the three people gradually became quieter, Zhang Feiyang responded, smiled slightly, touched the heads of the three people, comforted them, and then asked the three of them to lead them to visit the current situation of the Valley of the Hidden People.
At this time, the Valley of the Hidden Man is very different from the scene presented by the Butterfly Valley in the past.
During the Butterfly Valley period, there were many monsters in the valley, trees were lined up, flowers and plants were also luxuriant, a primitive jungle, and there was no human life.
Now, the valley is bare, at a glance, you can almost see the whole valley to the end, the valley is more like a basin full of grass, the field of vision is wide, the air is clear, under the sunlight, most areas have plenty of sunshine, the breeze blows, the calves and lambs who are grazing will make a soft cry comfortably.
In addition, in the central area of the valley, two wooden houses have been built.
Zhang Feiyang walked in and visited them one by one.
The facilities inside are quite simple, except for the basic beds and quilts, as well as tables and chairs, there is nothing else, but the light in the whole room is excellent, staying inside, not only can let the sunlight fully shine inside, but also can shelter from the wind and rain, for the monks who are already simple, this is really a good place to rest, can also be used for cultivation.
Zhang Feiyang gave a thumbs up to the two of them and praised them without hesitation: "It's very good." It's good to live here and cultivate. I'm going to stay here for the time being. ”
Huo Yu and Moon Shadow were looking forward to getting along with Zhang Feiyang a lot, after all, they were still completely novices in cultivation, and they couldn't figure out many places, even if Zhang Feiyang's cultivation experience was left, there were still some places that needed to be carefully figured out, and now that Zhang Feiyang finally agreed to stay, he was naturally happy like a child, the two of them high-fived and smiled, and then went out happily, carrying a basket, and went to pick wild fruits for Zhang Feiyang.
Gu Qingxue's heart was also very happy, but she was embarrassed to show it so obviously, so she looked at Zhang Feiyang with a smile silently and kept quiet.
That night, Zhang Feiyang and the four of them used water instead of wine and wild fruits instead of meat, lit a bonfire in the Valley of Youren, and held a lively banquet.
The four of them all spoke freely, chatted quite enjoyable, and got to know each other better, and the bonds between each other deepened.
It wasn't until the moon disappeared, the sky was pitch black, and it was close to the early hours of the morning, that the four of them went back to their respective beds to rest.
Zhang Feiyang walked out of the hut, looking up at the dark sky like a curtain, thinking of the future in and out, he felt a huge pressure in his heart.
Because, he doesn't plan to live here for long.
Compared to the dangers and strife outside, the Valley of the Hidden Men is indeed a good place for retreat, it is like a paradise where people can forget their worries and sorrows and focus on the things they love.
Unfortunately, this is also a flaw in the Valley of the Hidden Humans.
Zhang Feiyang knew very well what it would mean if he stayed here.
Even if his cultivation can rely on penance to restore the Great Perfection Realm of the Qi Refining Period, if he wants to go one step further and reach the foundation building period where he can fight with Dongfang Bai, I am afraid that he will be hopeless in this life.
But he embarked on the road of cultivating immortals in order to become an immortal.
Now, he still remembers when he was a child, and he saw that immortals could fly to the sky.
He naturally didn't know how those immortals cultivated, but he was at least sure that the cultivation of those people was higher than Dongfang Bai's foundation building period.
Otherwise, why didn't he see Dongfang Bai flying three days ago when he was fleeing for his life?
Thinking of this, Zhang Feiyang's heart became more and more firm, and his mind became more and more calm.
Staying here all the time is not a long-term solution.
Dongfang Bai was still leading the entire Heavenly Remnant Temple to look for him everywhere.
The Valley of the Hidden People is a good place, but there is no 100% guarantee that it will not be found for Dongfang Bai.
If he continues to stay here and doesn't want to forge ahead, if he finds Dongfang Bai one day, he will finish playing, and he will have to accumulate the three innocent people of Moon Shadow, Huo Yu and Gu Qingxue.
It seems that the only way out is to quickly resume cultivation, and then, find a way to break through the level and see if you can break through the bottleneck and become a foundation building period monk.
If you can't, then you have to leave the Valley of the Hidden People quickly.
Only by severing his relationship with these three people in the Valley of the Hidden People can he escape to other countries for refuge with peace of mind, and then find other ways to improve his cultivation.
Of course.
From the very beginning, Zhang Feiyang actually considered that he would simply not go back to the Valley of the Hidden People, so he took advantage of the fact that he would flee directly to a foreign country quickly.
But soon this proposal was vetoed by himself.
Because, it's not realistic.
The country of Wu is very large, but the Valley of the Hidden People is very small.
The Valley of the Hidden People is not on the border of Wu.
But the sphere of influence of the Heavenly Remnant View has covered the entire Wu Kingdom.
These scattered disciples communicate with each other in a variety of ways.
Zhang Feiyang doesn't think he can avoid everyone's eyes.
As long as Dongfang Bai wants his appearance and things all over the country, then with his current cultivation, it is impossible to escape from Wu Kingdom safely.
What's more, he doesn't even have a magic weapon now, even if he cultivates to the late stage of the Qi Refining Period, he can only rely on the realm to suppress the early stage of the Qi Refining Period, and once he encounters a disciple of the Heavenly Remnant Guan in the late stage of the Qi Refining Period, he will definitely die.
Zhang Feiyang nodded, and after clarifying his thoughts, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and returned to the hut, and lay down to rest.
In this way, from the next day, he focused on how to resume his cultivation as soon as possible.
For other things, whether it was Gu Qingxue, or Moon Shadow and Fire Feather asking, he refused to answer them all.
Seeing Zhang Feiyang's serious and solemn face, the three of them seemed to be in some danger, so they naturally didn't dare to ask anything, and tacitly chose to believe and help Zhang Feiyang.
Because, various past experiences have shown that Zhang Feiyang's actions and thoughts are right.
Since he sensed the danger, there must be something bad happening in the near future.
In order to save himself the day at that time, it is naturally impossible to hinder Zhang Feiyang.
Zhang Feiyang's arrangement also has a clear division of labor, which is not difficult, but the workload is relatively large.
He asked Fire Feather and Moon Shadow to disguise themselves as mortals, and went to nearby villages or towns to collect a large number of low-grade herbs for themselves, not for quality, but for speed.
As for Gu Qingxue, Zhang Feiyang has other arrangements.
He asked Gu Qingxue to collect some herbs that were dangerous in the growing area, but of extremely high quality.
Compared with Huo Yu and Moon Shadow, Gu Qingxue was worthy of being the head of the medicine collection department in the Fire Fox Sect in the past, and as soon as he heard the herbs given by Zhang Feiyang, he guessed his intentions and asked, "Senior brother." Are you going to refine the Guiyuan Pill?"
Zhang Feiyang nodded with a smile, gave her a thumbs up, and solemnly instructed again, hoping that she would be careful in everything, if some herbs are too dangerous, just give up, as long as the quantity is enough, you can solve the problem of insufficient quality.
Gu Qingxue didn't know that Zhang Feiyang had a small stove.
After listening to Zhang Feiyang's words, he only felt that Zhang Feiyang was caring about himself, and a burst of emotion rose in his heart, and he naturally took medicine, and he was more powerful.
In the first two days, both the Fire Feather Moon Shadow and Gu Qingxue's side went well.
The herbs the three of them had brought back were almost filling a hut.
Zhang Feiyang was satisfied, and he was grateful to the three of them from the bottom of his heart, so that the three of them lived together, and stayed alone in the hut where the herbs were stored.
He kept one for himself, and in gratitude to Gu Qingxue, Moon Shadow and Fire Feather for their great help, he divided the remaining two.
Then, the next day, he took the Guiyuan Pill, hoping to catch the power of the miraculous pill and restore his cultivation.
Unfortunately, the effect is not satisfactory.
This surprised Zhang Feiyang.
On the contrary, they obtained the Gu Qingxue and Fire Feather of this pill, and the three of Moon Shadow gained a lot of improvement in their cultivation, but it was not enough for them to break through the bottleneck and reach a new realm.
Zhang Feiyang didn't know the situation, so he naturally wanted to find out, so he ordered the three of them to help him collect herbs again.
These three people got the Guiyuan Dan and their cultivation was greatly increased, and they were full of gratitude to Zhang Feiyang, but they didn't know how to repay them, and when they heard Zhang Feiyang's new request, how could they refuse?
One of them promised faster than the other, and the one laughed happier than the other.
Because, they believed that if Zhang Feiyang successfully refined the Guiyuan Pill and gave them another one, their cultivation would definitely be able to break through the bottleneck and reach a new realm.
Now that there is such a good thing in front of you, it would be a fool to refuse it.
In this way, the three of them once again set out to go to remote barren mountains, remote villages and small towns to collect the herbs they needed.
At this time, Moon Shadow had just collected the herbs in a small town, and when he was about to leave the town with a cart full of herbs, he felt that something was wrong, and it seemed that someone was always following him.
She paused and looked back, but there was no one to see.
What's going on? Are you oversensitive?
Thinking of this, Moon Shadow shook her head, and had just pushed the cart through a crowded street when she was blocked by a group of men on a remote path.
When she saw that these men were all fierce and fierce, with faces full of flesh, her heart jumped, and she had a bad premonition, took a step back, and pulled the cart to retreat to the crowded place.
It's a pity that this group of robbers rushed up with a smile and a groan, and instantly rushed in front of her, surrounded her, and didn't let her go.
One of the men with a big belly who seemed to be pregnant women shook his face, and asked with a smile, "Little sister." Where are you going?"
