Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Valley of No Return: The Dustless Taoist

What happened this year is destined to cause an uproar in the rivers and lakes.

Luo Tianming, the valley lord of Luoxia Valley, the first force in martial arts, was seriously injured on the day of his birthday banquet and died. Three days ago, the number one killer in the rivers and lakes, the Difu, was washed in blood overnight. One hundred and three people in the whole server, one hundred and one people were killed on the spot, and the legendary Difu Mansion advocated the dust, and finally jumped off the cliff with serious injuries, which has become a certain death.

At the same time as the dungeon disappeared, Shangguan Feihu, the lord of Flying Tiger Castle, was seriously injured, and the two leaders of the Ming Palace's Mansion and the Allure Pavilion were also unknown in life and death. And Luo Yuchen, the current valley owner of Luoxia Valley, has become a hot figure in the rivers and lakes in one fell swoop. People in the rivers and lakes originally thought that Luoxia Valley would decline with Luo Tianming's death, but they didn't expect that Luo Yuchen's succession would once again push Luoxia Valley to a high point.

And just yesterday, news suddenly came from the rivers and lakes that the only survivor who escaped from the underworld, Deacon Shura, was also in the desert at the blood-spattered Yuelai Inn.

In this month's time, the rivers and lakes have changed greatly, and those who ruled the old generation of martial arts are now dead and wounded, and today's rivers and lakes seem to have become the world of the younger generation. But Difu, is it really silent in the rivers and lakes like this, has it become a legend?

The answer, of course, is no!

At this time, deep in the Valley of No Return. This made everyone avoid the Jedi, and no one could have imagined that there would be a paradise-like place in the depths of this Valley of No Return. Here, there is not a place full of birds and flowers. Not far from here, I saw an extremely simple thatched house, and in front of the thatched house was a field that had not been cultivated for a long time. Around the field, there was a clearing fenced off by wooden stakes, in which a few chickens and a few geese were kept. A black puppy kept running outside the circle, chasing butterflies flying in the air. In a clear pool of water, fish are constantly swimming in it. Behind the thatched hut is a rushing waterfall that cascades down from the mountain peaks behind. On the rocks on the shore not far below the waterfall, a thin back sat quietly, the long sword glowing red in his hand, this emaciated back was Zhang Chen's son, the Shaofu of the underworld, Zhu Peng!

A day ago, Zhang Peng, under the leadership of Yin Lao, came to the periphery of the Valley of No Return. Before this, the two of them had also witnessed the blood of Deacon Shura splashed at the Yuelai Inn. Yin Lao, who came to the periphery of the Valley of No Return, according to what Zhang Chen said before, did not rush into the valley, but kept shouting the name of the Dustless Daoist outside. Just after Yin Lao shouted for a while, an old man who was nearly 100 years old and had gray hair appeared in front of the two. The old man was dressed in a white robe, coupled with the appearance of his beard and hair, which gave people a feeling that looked like a fairy wind and bones. This person is Zhang Chen's master, a peerless master and dustless Taoist who is hidden in the Valley of No Return. When the dustless Taoist appeared, Yin Lao also said their intentions, and hurriedly asked Zhang Peng to hand over the jade pendant given by Zhang Chen on his waist to Wuchen. The dustless Taoist looked at the jade pendant in his hand and had a lot of thoughts. Then he looked at Zhang Peng beside Yin Lao. Then he sighed faintly, took Zhang Peng's hand, and let Yin Lao return alone. After Yin Lao and Zhang Peng reluctantly said goodbye and left, the dustless Taoist took Zhang Peng into the Valley of No Return. Under the traction of the dustless Taoist, Zhang Peng soon arrived at the place where his father lived when he was young. This paradise in the depths of the Valley of No Return.

After resting for the night, Zhang Peng got up early, and after cleaning up, he came to the front of the waterfall and sat down. Zhang Peng is only a few years old now, and what happened in this month has had a severe impact on Zhang Peng's young heart. At this time, Zhang Peng was holding the Ghost Yuan Sword in the cold pool in his hand, looking at the waterfall that flowed straight down, he couldn't help but be a little distracted.

At this time, the dustless Taoist also walked out of the hut. Seeing Zhang Peng in a daze under the waterfall, he shook his head helplessly and walked to Zhang Peng's side. Zhang Peng also seemed to sense that someone was coming next to him, came back to his senses, and when he looked up, he saw the dustless Taoist who was already standing beside him, and shouted, "Master." ”

The dustless people regard Zhang Chen as their own, and they naturally love Zhang Peng, and in the hearts of the dustless people, they have faintly regarded Zhang Peng as their own grandson.

"Peng'er, what are you thinking?" The Dustless Daoist touched Zhang Peng's head, revealing a kind smile and said.

Zhang Peng was silent for a while, and said with some hesitation: "They killed my father." ”

When the dustless Taoist heard Zhang Peng's words, he couldn't help but be stunned, and there was a trace of sadness in his eyes, but he quickly hid it. Squatted down, held Zhang Peng's arm, and said, "When is the grievance, Peng'er, do you know who your father is?"

Zhang Peng nodded and said, "I know, my father is the lord of the underworld!

"Then do you know what kind of existence the underworld is, and what does it do?" the Dustless Daoist asked again.

Zhang Peng hesitated a little, because he didn't know what this underworld did.

Looking at Zhang Peng's hesitant appearance, the dustless Taoist asked again: "Does Peng'er know what rivers and lakes are?"

"Well, I know. Daddy said that the rivers and lakes are a place where you can prove yourself. Zhang Peng nodded firmly.

Wuchen Daoren sighed helplessly, looked at Zhang Peng and said with a solemn look: "Then do you know that in the rivers and lakes, every day is a life of fighting and killing, and how many people will die every day." ”

Zhang Peng was unusually firm at this time, and said: "Master, my father is not afraid of death, and I am not afraid of death! I want to learn martial arts well, and I want to avenge my father!"

Seeing Zhang Peng's resolute eyes, Wuchen Daoist sighed, and said in his heart: Sure enough, he is Xiaochen's son, but when is it time to retribution.

After a sigh, the Dustless Daoist looked at Zhang Peng and said solemnly: "Peng'er, although you are still young now, you are a man, and men must be firm in the path they have chosen." Even if it's difficult, you can't give up. ”

Zhang Peng looked at the Dustless Daoist in a daze, and didn't speak, because he didn't move, why would the Dustless Daoist say this to him.

The dustless Taoist took a deep breath, stood up, and said, "At the beginning, the teacher gave your father the same thing and gave him a choice, and today, the teacher also gives you a choice." The first is to learn poetry and etiquette, stay in this valley and live the life of ordinary people, do it at sunrise, rest at sunset, and live in peace. Second, I will pass on your peerless martial arts, and let you step into the rivers and lakes, just like your father, living a bloody life! It's just that what the teacher wants to tell you is that when you walk the rivers and lakes, you must not be rash. ”

After Zhang Peng listened to what the dustless Taoist said, his immature little face was suddenly filled with a tangled look. Not far away, the little black dog stuck out his tongue and quickly ran towards Zhang Peng's side, and after a while came to Zhang Peng's feet, Zhang Peng saw this, squatted down and touched the little black dog's head, and the little black dog hummed obediently lying in front of Zhang Peng, let him caress it.

Zhang Peng felt that the life of these two days may be the happiness in the master's mouth. Zhang Peng is much more well-behaved and sensible than other children, and he also enjoys the life of these two days, but the revenge of killing his father is not shared, how can he not avenge his father. Zhang Peng also lived a stable life before, but in the end, only himself and the departed Yin Lao are left. Although Zhang Peng did not know what the rivers and lakes were, Zhang Peng could see from the fall of his father and others that the rivers and lakes were full of dangers. But as the son of the lord of the underworld, how can he be frightened by these difficulties, Zhang Chen is a man who stands up to the sky and the earth in Zhang Peng's heart, how can he lose his father's face!

Thinking of this, a resolute look flashed on Zhang Peng's face, and then as if he had made up his mind, he suddenly stood up and looked at the dustless Taoist on the side, and then knelt down towards the dustless Taoist, and said firmly word by word: "Master, Peng'er has thought clearly, please teach me martial arts! There are some things, some responsibilities, I can't escape no matter how I escape! I am Zhang Peng, my father is Zhang Chen, the lord of the underworld, my father is a man who stands up to the sky, and I Zhang Peng is the same!"

Although the Dustless Daoist was sure that Zhang Peng would choose this path in his heart, he was also slightly stunned when he heard Zhang Peng's words that did not fit his age, and saw Zhang Peng's firm appearance kneeling in front of him, the Dustless Daoist muttered: "Xiaochen, Xiaochen, I don't know if it's right to be a teacher, but there is no doubt that your son, like you, is a man who stands up to the sky and has a backbone!"

The Dustless Daoist looked at Zhang Peng, and then stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the ghost abyss in your hand first, now you don't have the ability to use it." ”

Zhang Peng nodded and handed the ghost abyss in his hand to the Dustless Daoist. The dustless Taoist took the ghost yuan, looked at the ghost yuan sword in his hand and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions, a thick and sad look appeared on his face, and then put away the ghost yuan, looked at Zhang Peng and said: "The ghost yuan will be handed over to me for safekeeping first, if you practice martial arts with your heart, when you succeed, I will hand it over to you." If you don't care, then you won't be able to get the ghost abyss back in your life!"

Zhang Peng's body shook suddenly, this ghost abyss is his father's sword, he has to take it back no matter what, a trace of firmness flashed on his face, Zhang Peng said: "Master, ghost abyss sword, I will definitely take it back!"

Hearing Zhang Peng's firm words, Wuchen Daoist smiled and said, "It's not a skill to talk about it, the road to martial arts is full of conviction and pain, can you persevere?"

Zhang Peng nodded vigorously.

"Hahaha, okay, worthy of being my disciple!" Wuchen Daoist laughed, and then took out the jade pendant that Yin Lao gave him before, handed it to Zhang Peng, and said, "This jade pendant was given to your father by the teacher back then, and now I will give it to you." Take this jade pendant, this valley of no return, you can walk as you like. It's not too early, go make a fire and cook first, and when you eat, you can start your first martial arts practice!"

After hearing this, Zhang Peng couldn't help but be a little stunned, his father told him to practice martial arts or something, but the master let him live and cook first. Although Zhang Peng was a little puzzled, he didn't say anything, turned around and ran back in the direction of the thatched house.

Looking at Zhang Peng's back running away, Wuchen Daoist smiled and said: "The rivers and lakes are full of deceit, and it is essential to learn to adapt to the situation. Xiaochen, Xiaochen, I saw your shadow in your son, do you think he will surpass you?"
