Chapter 31: Death Valley

The old woman squatted down to pick up the fragments of dishes, because her eye disease had not healed, her vision was blurred, her hands were cut one after another, and the blood dripping on the snow-white porcelain tiles looked very dazzling.

Liu Xunyin walked over quickly to help her up, and took out a handkerchief to bandage her wounds. I heard the old woman murmur in a trance: "Death Valley...... Can't go...... Can't go ......"

"Bai Gongzi, what is the place in Death Valley, and why is my mother-in-law so nervous?" asked Liu Xunyin suspiciously.

"Death Valley is an extremely deep canyon in Kunlun, surrounded by snowy ridges, and in the center is a pool of ice. There were corpses everywhere, and none of the herders who strayed into them made it out alive, and the cause of death was a mystery. Therefore, Death Valley is also known as the Gate of Hell, and no one dares to approach it easily. Bai Wangshu hesitated.

The old woman mourned when she heard this, and her cloudy eyes were full of tears: "My husband was a herdsman, and the horses ran into the valley of death. Those horses were the lifeblood of our family, and he chased them in desperate terms...... It's been nearly 20 years now, and there has been no news. My son is stubborn, filial and strong, he knew the truth two years ago, and he had to bring back his father's remains, but he also disappeared......" The old woman grabbed Liu Xunyin's arm and trembled: "Miss Liu, you must not go there...... Absolutely not......"

"Bai Gongzi. Liu Xunyin asked, "Do you know what is in the valley?"

Bai Wangshu shook his head in embarrassment: "Death Valley is a forbidden place guarded by the Kunlun faction. Successive heads of the family have a glimpse of the heavens, knowing that their lives are coming to an end, they will go in and die in the valley. The herdsmen are afraid of Death Valley, and they stay away, and our followers will not step into the half-step, so as not to disturb the spirits of the deceased. ”

"In that case, it's a great place to take refuge. Wen Ember and the others went upstairs at some point and stood behind them.

"It's too dangerous inside, you must not go. The old woman was still trembling.

Tang Qiqi smiled and said: "What is the great place, I would like to see it." I think that back then, in the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows, I was thrown by my grandfather on the inaccessible snowfield as soon as I made a mistake, fighting with all kinds of beasts, and now I am not alive and well. ”

"Girl, Death Valley is cursed, and there are man-eating demons in it. The old woman looked left and right, looked panicked, and said, "Don't say such things, lest you get into trouble." ”

"I've never believed in ghosts and gods. Tang Qiqi smiled and said: "If there is really a ghost in this world, you can quickly eat me alive, it is more interesting than the novelty of birth, old age, sickness and death." ”

"Qiqi. Liu Xunyin smiled and shook his head: "You, there are really no taboos." ”

"Sister, do you believe it?" asked Tang Qiqi lying on her shoulder.

Liu Xunyin thought seriously: "The left is just a fierce man-eating beast in the valley, or due to the harsh natural conditions and complex terrain, the people who go in have lost their way and starved to death inside. ”

"I knew my sister wouldn't believe it. Tang Qiqi smiled and said: "Brother Wen is bold, and he will not be afraid of these cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods. ”

Wen Ember nodded: "When we enter the valley, mark the road and follow it on the way back, there should be no problem." ”

"I'm not going. Xiao Mu hid behind the fan and shook his head: "You guys are too naΓ―ve." If it was really as easy as expected, how could so many people die in it? Aren't the successive heads of the Kunlun faction stronger than us in martial arts and thoughtful? There is always a place for us in the big rivers and lakes, so why take this risk. ”

"This radius of a hundred miles has been controlled by Situ Shun and them, and it is even more difficult to escape than to ascend to the sky. Bai Xu on the bed coughed a few times: "The only way is to hide in Death Valley." ”

"Uncle, you're awake!" Bai Wangshu happily opened the quilt and got out of bed, and ran over before he had time to put on his shoes.

"Wangshu, it's okay if you're fine. Bai Xu stroked his nephew's head lovingly, turned to Wen Yan and said, "Thank you for saving your life." Death Valley is indeed dangerous, so I won't bother you, just ask you to do us one last favor. ”

"Sir, but it doesn't hurt. Ember said.

"I have difficulty moving, and I am afraid that I will be delayed on the road for a long time if I am dragged by Wangshu. I beg you to send us to Death Valley tonight. As for whether we can survive or not, it depends on the creation of our uncle and nephew. ”

"If you go there, it's a dead end, why don't you wait here?" Xiao Mu said: "At least you can lie down comfortably and avoid the pain of traveling." ”

"I will never die in the hands of that group of villains!" Bai Xu was so angry that his face turned red and he coughed: "My brother's death must have nothing to do with Situ Shun and them!"

"Sir, calm down first. Seeing that Bai Xu was angry, Liu Xunyin hurriedly held him down: "It's not worth it to damage your body." We'll help. ”

"I'll go out and get some horses, and I'll set out again tonight, or I'll be easily discovered by those who are chasing you." Wen Shen said: "Xiao Mu, let's go." ”

"Okay. Xiao Mu shook his folding fan and said, "I'm only responsible for sending them over, I won't enter this Death Valley." ”

"If you don't want to enter, you have to enter. Tang Qiqi was so angry that he stomped his feet: "What a coward." ”

"Mother-in-law, you can go with us, so that we can take care of it. Liu Xunyin held the old woman's hand: "You can't see with your eyes, it's inconvenient to stay here alone." ”

"Girl, I know you have a good heart. The old woman politely refused: "I have an old bone, and I will die sooner or later, so it is better to stay here and wait for my wife and son to come back." ”

I saw that her pupils were cloudy and her hair was gray. Liu Xunyin couldn't help but reddened her eyes: "Mother-in-law, why are you ......?"

"Maybe it's tomorrow, maybe it's the day after tomorrow. As long as I'm willing to wait, I'll be able to wait for them. The old woman fumbled the railing and turned around: "I'm afraid there is nothing to eat in the valley, I'll go to the kitchen to steam some steamed buns." Miss Liu, you must take care. ”

"Okay, thank you, mother-in-law. Liu Xunyin nodded.

"Sister, do you really want to leave her here alone?" Tang Qiqi asked as he looked at the back of the old Long Zhong.

"It's better to mourn than to die, and she can still have a thought if she stays here. Liu Xunyin divided the medicine for eye diseases into several packets and tied them tightly with twine: "This trip is dangerous, and we can't protect our own safety, so we won't force her." ”

"It's fine. Tang Qiqi nodded: "Then I'll go back to the room to pack my luggage first." ”

In the middle of the night, the torrential rain poured down, and Wen Ember carried Bai Xu on his back and beckoned a few people to put on their hats and set off. When leaving, I saw corpses overlapping on the side of the road, washed by the rain and no human figure.

"It's terrifying. Xiao Mu rubbed the goosebumps on his arms.

Wen Shen put Bai Xu on the horse, turned to Bai Wangshu and said, "This horse has an unstable temperament, you ride with your uncle, don't protect him." ”

"Don't worry, I've been learning equestrianism since I was a child, and I'm sure. Bai Wangshu grabbed the reins and said.

"That's good. Wen Ember smiled: "You lead the way, and we will follow closely behind to cover." ”

"Good. Bai Wangshu nodded solemnly.

The noisy sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance, which was particularly harsh in the dead silence of the city. Wen Ember was startled and flew up to the roof to look into the distance, only to see the pursuers coming menacingly with torches and horses, dressed in Wakakusa-colored clothes decorated with flame patterns.

"The one who came was not good. Wen Ember whipped the butt of the horse Bai Wangshu was riding, turned around and said sharply: "Qiqi! you take them first!"

Tang Qiqi saw the pursuers of the Kunlun faction from a distance, and instantly understood the situation: "Brother Wen, Sister Xunyin, let's go together!"

"Obedient!" Wen Shen pulled out his sword: "Otherwise, you will die here! Xiao Mu! Take Qiqi away!"

"Let's go!" Xiao Mu pulled Tang Qiqi onto the horse, hugged her tightly and shook the reins: "Drive!"

"Seek the sound!

The two fought hard to kill the enemy and cooperated tacitly. Wen Yan's sword technique was fast and violent, and the Kunlun sect members on the opposite side gradually couldn't resist, and they didn't dare to step forward with their knives drawn.

The two of them were about to retreat, when a shadow wearing a black gauze hat flashed, passed through the crowd with lightning speed, and slapped a palm on Wen Ash's chest. His palm was so powerful that Wen Ember couldn't help but fall to his knees, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Ash!" Liu Xunyin exclaimed. Seeing that Wen Ember was injured, the sect members on the opposite side quickly surrounded the two of them. Liu Xunyin's eyes were red, and Xiao Sheng had murderous intent for the first time. The man who was slashing at him with a knife was swept by the wind and smashed to the ground, his muscles and bones were torn apart, and he vomited blood.

Estimating that Xiao Mu and they had reached a safe place, Wen Shen forcibly hugged Liu Xunyin, and stepped on the eaves of light gong and walked away from the wall.

"Stop chasing. The man in black who had just injured Wen Ember stopped his subordinates, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The task is complete, go back." ”

Wen Ember walked straight along the horseshoe prints on the muddy road, and finally caught up with Xiao Mu and the four in front of an extremely deep canyon.

"Brother Wen!" Tang Qiqi hurriedly greeted him: "How are you!"

Wen Ember let go of Liu Xunyin, and there was a blue and black aura between his eyebrows. His brow furrowed, and he spat out a mouthful of blood from exhaustion.

"Who did it!" Tang Qiqi said angrily.

"They were all masked, and they couldn't tell the difference. Liu Xunyin shook his head and ripped open Wen Yan's clothes, the purple and black color of the palm print was extremely deep, and a piece of his chest was sunken in.

"Cold Poison Palm?" everyone was shocked.

"The person at the head can command the Kunlun sect members, but it is the kung fu of forgetting the valley of worries. Liu Xunyin frowned: "Bai Gongzi, do you know his identity?"

"I have never heard of this person. Bai Wangshu shook his head suspiciously: "What's more, the Kunlun Sect is a famous and decent family, how can it be connected with a cult like Forget Worry Valley." ”

Tang Qiqi is usually the most poisonous tongue, and his mouth is unforgiving, but he has no intention of refuting it at the moment. I saw her tears flashing, with a look of disbelief, and she struggled to squeeze out a few words from between her teeth: "There is only one person in the Valley of Forgetting Worries with such a strong palm...... Only ......"

"Who?" asked Liu Xunyin nervously.

"I ...... My grandfather ......" Tang Qiqi's tears fell.
