CHAPTER IX

The group made do with the night in the wilderness, during which they were released on duty in shifts, and finally spent the night safely.

"Wen Renxing, you go sleep in the carriage. The bear messenger let Wen Renxing, who was on the last shift on duty, into the carriage.

"We continue our journey in the direction of Meridian Valley, and it would be better to have an inn in between. Fan looked at the map.

The group no longer had any supplies on them, let alone the inn, even if there was a stall to drink saliva.

"Brother Fan, do we still have entanglement?" the bear envoy touched his waist, and it seemed that the money bag had already been lost in the process of escaping.

"I tied a lot of money bags around my shoes, socks and waist. Fan Envoy proudly opened his clothes and displayed them.

The bear envoy rode a carriage with Liu Cong, while Bai Xiyue drove a carriage carrying Wen Renxing and Fan Shijin.

The sun shone on this barren land, and as far as the eye could see, there were dead yellow stones and weeds, and not even a small animal could be seen. Bai Xiyue's lips seemed to be as dry as this field, and he licked the corners of his mouth.

"Brother Fan, is there any water?" Bai Xiyue drove the carriage while wiping his sweat.

"Everyone... There is an inn in front of it, I have been here before, the inn provides sweet mountain fruits, and there is enough cool mountain spring water to drink. Let's hurry up and get over. Fan Shijin pretended to be calm and said. In fact, Fan Shijin has never been to this place, but if it does not arouse everyone's fighting spirit, I am afraid that this land will become their burial place.

"I drooled when I heard this!" Bai Xiyue didn't feel thirsty when he thought of this, and increased the strength of his horsewhip.

The bear messenger on horseback next to the carriage walked on this barren land, kicking up dust that made people unable to open their eyes. At this time, Fan Envoy felt a little confused more and more, looked at the map and looked out the window of the carriage, I am afraid that there will be no shops in this Meridian Valley. The horse continued to run forward, but by this time the man on the horse, and the man in the carriage, had already fainted, and after yesterday's fight for a day and a night, he had not touched any food, and where would the horse go?

"Hey, wake up!" the man wrapped in a tiger skin around his waist took water and splashed it on Liu Cong's face.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that I was tied to a wooden pillar, and there were Wen Renxing, Fan Shijin, Xiong Jingchong, Bai Xiyue...

After the man woke up Liu Cong, he took the water and splashed the rest of the people awake.

"Water... Water... Give me more to drink. Bai Xiyue also woke up.

"Who are you?" Liu Cong looked at the group of people in front of him, who were dressed in strange costumes.

"Hahahahaha, you kid is a little interesting, we didn't ask you, you asked us first?" replied one of the men, who was sitting on a stone bench with Erlang's legs crossed. caused several big men next to him to laugh.

"Taking advantage of the danger of others, I don't think you are good men, if you feed your grandfather, you will definitely be beaten all over the ground looking for teeth. Liu Cong glared at the group viciously.

"We hunted well, and you men came in wagons and scared away all our prey, so pay for the loss with your horses and money. The big man sitting on the stone bench said jokingly.

When they woke up, they found that the only money on the trip had already been taken away by this gang and placed on the table in front of them.

"A few heroes, we are assigned by the imperial court to do things, passing through here, if you disturb you, you will pay a compensation, can you let us go, and we will be given a heavy gift!" Fan Shijin said.

"Ah, it's the official of the imperial court, which imperial court are you?" asked the leader.

"Shu Kingdom!" Fan replied.

"Hahaha!" everyone laughed again.

"Don't say that you are the Shu Kingdom, even if the Northern Jin Dynasty comes, it is useless, we don't belong to any country, we only do the business of killing people and robbing goods in this valley, understand?" The leader stood up and grabbed Fan Shijin's head and said.

"Boss, don't talk nonsense with them, you can kill them with one sword. The big man on the side suggested.

"Dad, don't kill indiscriminately, since we got the silver taels, it's better to let them go. "A woman walked in. This woman's willow eyebrows, eyes as clear as the mountain springs in the valley, sparkling in the blink of an eye, a small and erect nose, and a small cherry mouth, this lip will bloom when she just smiles.

"My daughter doesn't know that these people are the most treacherous, and they talk about what they say, and they hate them in their hearts, and if they are allowed to go back, they will bring them back and destroy us. "The leader who was originally fierce and vicious, immediately became amiable when he saw his daughter.

"Dad, you're just unreasonable. The woman angrily stirred her willow eyebrows, and looked indignant like a ripe red apple, and the red apple turned around and went out.

"Helper, may I ask if your daughter is married?" Bai Xiyue seemed to have regained his spirit.

"Come on, call me!" The leader didn't say a word, and the two strongest came out.

"Ahh...h

The bear envoy was just about to say something, but when he saw this, he didn't say much. The last person to wake up was Wen Renxing, who just opened his eyes and found that he was tied up and said with a wry smile: "I have been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and I feel that the rivers and lakes are sinister for the first time." ”

"Boss, I've passed out!" the two men panted tiredly.

"Who told you to fight to the death, what if there is one less sacrifice for Ming'er's sacrifice? Do you want to live? After the leader finished speaking, he hurried out, and it seemed that he was going to coax his daughter.

When several big men saw that the leader had gone out, they all went out one after another, leaving the two strongest men to guard.

"This group of people is going to sacrifice us, how is this good?" Liu Cong was stunned, just came out of a ghost gate, and jumped into another one.

"Don't worry, the ceremony will be held tomorrow, you can still have a good meal tonight, and Ming'er will go on the road with peace of mind." The two strong men comforted.

"I just heard from you about the valley, may I ask where is this valley?" asked Fan Envoy quickly.

"What other valley can there be, of course it's the Meridian Valley!" the big man dismissed.

"Meridian Valley!?How could there be people living here in Meridian Valley?" the Fan envoy was shocked.

"There are many things you don't know in this world! We believe in the Meridian Valley, and have been blessed by the Meridian Valley God for generations, and have multiplied here to escape the invasion of the outside world. But what can you wait for the villain to know?" The big man shook his chest muscles as he spoke, as if he was linked to the Adam's apple.

"Okay, you don't have to talk to outsiders. Another big man interrupted the small talk. The two men said no more, walked out of the grotto room and stood guard outside the door. This cave house has no roof, and it does not look like it was artificially built, it seems to be built by nature, and you can see the green leaves and high cliffs of the mountains overhead.

"This group of people are wearing tiger skin and leopard skin around their waists, and their clothes are far from ours. The bear messenger said.

"The leader has a tiger skin around his waist, the rest of the people have leopard skins, and the woman who comes in the middle has a white tiger skin on his waist. Wen Renxing said.

"I said brothers, don't discuss dressing, how can we escape?" Liu Cong interrupted a few people chatting.

"Of course it's up to you, Brother Liu. Wen Xing smiled, as if he had found a treasure.

"I'm going to eat while they're giving us?" said Liu Cong, as if he had thought of something.

"No... Cannot... I can tell you a few of you, even if this meal is a severed head, I will have to eat it full. Bai Xiyue said with a dying breath.

"Brother Cong, you know your non-physical twin knives, right?" Wen Renxing said as he squeezed his eyebrows.

"Brother Wenren, don't be like this, the face of a beautiful man like you is not beautiful. Liu Cong said seriously.

"I'll discuss it after eating, now outside the door..."Wen Renxing didn't seem to listen to Liu Cong's words, and began to frown again.

"The sword I was waiting for doesn't seem to be on my body anymore!" Liu Cong's precious long sword was no longer on his waist.

"Tongmen, just now I saw a strong man's sword hanging from his waist, it seems to be yours. After Bai Xiyue finished speaking, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.

"Someone's coming, save someone! I'm fainting at the same door!" Liu Cong shouted to the big man at the door.

"What are you shouting, the doctor is here!" said the big man, his eyes wide with anger.

I saw the old man wearing a leopard skin scarf walking in, the old man's clothes are a bit like the ordinary people's clothes in Shudi, saying that they are like but not like, the patterns are still different, and the pants are long skirts, regardless of men and women.

The doctor came over and grabbed Bai Xiyue's wrist, shook it for a while, touched his beard, and said, "I can't go back to the sky, send it to feed the beast!" The doctor finished taking his pulse and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, the big man hurriedly said: "Doctor, this is a sacrifice to the Meridian Valley God, all of which are indispensable!"

The doctor shook his head helplessly, and sat back to check the pulse: "This pulse shows that life is dying, there are a lot of old injuries on the body, and it seems to have been beaten, when the old man prescribes medicine, you quickly untie the person and settle it well, and tell the kitchen to stew a chicken, and then take the medicine prescribed by the old man after dinner, and you should be able to move the next day." ”

"You old man, you can obviously be cured, but you are too troublesome to sit for a good consultation, you are simply a quack. Liu went from being young and ignorant to talking about what he thought of.

After Liu Cong finished speaking, the old man tilted his head and was speechless for half a sound at the wall, it seems that Liu Cong told the truth. Dahan sent the old man out of the room, untied Bai Xiyue's rope, took a cushion made of fur and spread it on the ground, and helped Bai Xiyue to lie down. Although he was in a coma, the corners of Bai Xiyue's mouth still showed a villainous smile.

Wen Renxing watched the big man walk away, then looked at Liu Cong and said, "Hey, Brother Cong, what medium do you need for your divine consciousness to be opened?" It's the first time I've seen a divine sense with red pupils, and I and the old man with half-white and half-black hair are both blue-eyed. ”

"I'm my father's ......" Liu Cong thought of his father asking him not to reveal it, and he didn't plan to hide it when life and death were at stake, and then said: "What my father passed on to me, I don't know how to open it." ”

"If you still have something to pass on, then do I still need to practice for so many years? I think I learned the sword since I was a child, and it took me to comprehend the essentials in the twentieth direction, and I only got through it by chance. "Wen Renxing has seen a lot now, and it has been said throughout the ages that knowledge is stored in the brain, but I never thought that it could be passed on after it was finally condensed into crystals.

"What are you talking about, and why can't you understand a word?" the bear envoy looked at the two of them in confusion.

"Reverence, how come you don't even know this? The teacher hasn't told you?" Fan Shijin looked at Xiong Jingyi with the same puzzlement.

"I haven't heard of it... What the hell is this...?" Xiong Jingchong also looked at Fan Shijin.

"That's... I don't understand either... I'm just fortunate enough to see Wen Renxing and the white-robed old man talk and meet..."Liu learned from the first time he heard the 'Divine Sense' and watched the conversation between the two.

"The so-called 'divine consciousness' is the ability to devote oneself to study after entering the peak of martial arts, and the world says that this ability is obtained by communicating with the gods, so it is called 'divine consciousness'. Fan Shijin squinted his eyes and said as if recalling something.

"My father is a Wenchen—" The bear envoy still had a look of disbelief on his face.

"The teacher also has 'divine consciousness' but is not called divine consciousness, the teacher is a civil servant, he has read all the books in the world, there is more than a golden house in the book, and the knowledge has reached the point of being a high eight buckets, and he can still comprehend the 'divine consciousness', but it cannot be called 'divine consciousness', because it has its own name, it is called '[illusion]'!!"
