Chapter 9: Panfeng Valley
Seeing that the shopkeeper mentioned Jiu'er and kept babbling, Qin Ling said out loud.
"You mean, she might have gone there?"
"It's possible, it's possible, she has been pulling me since I brought Jiu'er back last time, and asked me to take her to A-Niang...... It's just that...... That Valley of the Winds, alas......"
Qin Ling's thoughts turned slightly, but it was because of this reason that the shopkeeper showed a frightened look, his face was illuminated by the faint fire in the room, the shopkeeper still looked very worried, Qin Ling took the iron sword back into the scabbard and asked.
"But where there are big tigers?"
"Yes, the last time she went there was Panfeng Valley, a few months ago I heard that there was a big tiger with a hanging forehead, which has injured a lot of people's lives, Jiu'er and her mother left at that time, last time Jiu'er ran to Panfeng Valley by herself, and she was lucky to finally be safe, but she was infected with a little wind chill......"
"Then let's go now!" Qin Ling turned around and prepared to find the little girl named Jiu'er,
"Guest, wait......"
"My name is Qin Ling, if you don't mind, call me Brother Qin, what's wrong?"
"Qin... Elder brother... , Brother Qin, should we call more people to go with us?"
The shopkeeper is a little worried, the two of them are still too dangerous to go to Panfeng Valley at night, it is good to call more people to be brave, and then the shopkeeper is entangled again, who should be called, he knows some neighbors and some guys in the restaurant, but now it's so late, they should all sleep There is no place to play in the town, and it is too much to sleep when it gets dark, and it is a waste of money to light the lamp.
And there are mostly old men and old ladies here, he doesn't think that he can be of some use when he encounters danger, maybe he has to take care of them, thinking of the hemp pole, he is a little angry and thinks of the rough man who injured the hemp pole today, otherwise he will definitely agree to call him.
"No, just the two of us. ”
"It's up to us...... Is it okay?" shopkeeper Ershi looked uneasy, but he didn't stop, blew out the oil lamp, took the door casually, and ran towards Qin Ling.
"Let's go......"
After saying that, one hand directly grabbed the waist clothes of the shopkeeper Ershi, directly stopped the waist and lifted it, and jumped towards the earthen embryo room next door.
"Hey!!"
The shopkeeper called Stone screamed in surprise, only to feel that his body was churning, and the person had reached the roof.
"Hehe...... hey" Qin Ling chuckled lightly and sped towards the west, he remembered the location of Panfeng Valley, in order to hurry over, it was the most convenient if he didn't have to take a detour in the small alleys in the town.
......
Five or six miles west of Panfeng Town, it is Panfeng Valley.
Panfeng Valley is actually not a definite valley, Panfeng Valley is connected to a deep mountain forest that stretches several mountains on the inside, and there is a mouth-shaped valley on the outermost side of the mountain forest, which is the original Panfeng Valley, which is named because it is close to Panfeng Town.
Many years ago, this area was not very populated, because of its proximity to the mountains and forests, there were often wild beasts, except for some craftsmen who lived on the mountains and forests, and some desperate bandits and robbers would not come here.
But suddenly one day, a hunter who often passes by found that there was an extra three-zhang high stone here, as if it appeared out of thin air, towering there, and the word Panfeng was written on it with a vermilion ancient seal.
Since then, there have been many people from the city who have come all the way to see the unknown stone, and the number of people here has gradually increased, and houses have been built around it, and many years have passed, and a small town has gradually formed here, and the enthusiasm of the people has faded, and the big stone written with the wind has also been a signpost, and gradually forgotten by the people.
Panfeng Valley is also used to being called by the old people of Panshan Town, and this name has also been handed down, but Panfeng Valley refers to that valley including a surrounding mountain forest, so Panfeng Valley is a considerable area.
......
The town is gradually getting farther and farther away from Qin Ling, it is almost close to the third watch, Qin Ling has already knocked on the second watch when he was in the restaurant, it is a little farther away, the town is almost no different from everywhere, but Qin Ling has good eyesight, and he can still see a few bright lights.
When he was about to arrive at Panfeng Valley, Qin Ling stopped, put the shopkeeper stone he was carrying on the ground, and exhaled a breath of turbidity, just such a little way, just because he brought one more person to hurry, it consumed nearly thirty percent of the internal force, and on weekdays, if he was in a hurry, he would not be able to use one percent of the internal force.
"Whew... Whew......"
The shopkeeper who was put on the ground by Qin Ling was still lying on the ground panting, his head was still dizzy now, his hands were on the ground, and he didn't get up for half a day, feeling as if he was more tired than Qin Ling.
"Stone, where did you find Jiu'er last time?"
Qin Ling calmed down his internal strength and walked towards the shopkeeper, squatted down and pulled up the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper stood up and staggered, shook his body, and stood firm.
"First... Let me see ...... first."
The shopkeeper stood firm, shook his head, held back a feeling of nausea, and tried to distinguish it.
There was no moon tonight, only a few stars that were sparsely visible, and the trees on this side of Panfeng Valley made it even darker.
The shopkeeper looked around, and there was a concave valley in front of him, which was still barely recognizable, and he turned his head sideways to think about where he found "Jiu'er" last time.
"It should be...... Let's go over here!"
Qin Ling saw that the tone of the shopkeeper was a little uncertain, and frowned, although he was not sure that the little girl must still be in the place last time, but she came here, the probability should be that the place was a little bigger last time, at night, even Qin Ling could only see things in the vicinity of ten zhang, and if it was far away, it would be a little blurry, and he could only see a cloud of black, coupled with such a large mountain forest, covered by trees everywhere, it was obviously impossible to really take everything within the scope of ten zhang into his eyes.
"If you think about it, it's hard to find if you don't remember the direction, the last time you came, did you see anything that was easy to remember, or how far away from the mouth of the valley, or what features you had, etc.!"
Qin Ling reminded loudly.
"Is this a special place?...... Special...... Special ......"
Seeing that the shopkeeper was racking his brains and thinking, Qin Ling didn't bother him, just observed the surroundings and noticed if there was any sound.
"Locust tree, there is a locust tree!"
“......”
Qin Ling stretched out his hand and touched his forehead, almost laughing angrily, there is a locust tree that he can see not far from his left now, so how many locust trees can be found on this mountain! Just when he was about to make a loud reminder of the shopkeeper.
"The locust tree, the two of them hugged the thick locust tree, by the way, Jiu'er found it there at that time!"
"It's just...... It's just that I don't remember the exact direction, but when Beijiu'er came down the mountain, he came out of the valley, so I can be sure that it's either this side or that side. The shopkeeper pointed to both sides of the concave valley and nodded.
"Hmm...... Let's go up and look for it first, you follow me, don't lose it, and if you encounter any movement, shout it out loud, I can hear it. ”
"Uh-huh......" The shopkeeper nodded like a stone chick pecking rice, he had just been taken by Qin Ling to "fly" for a while, he was obviously still very confident in Qin Ling's kung fu now, although he was not a runner and didn't know the trick, but Qin Ling's performance just now still shocked him.
Qin Ling chose the hill on the left side and went up along the winding path, and the shopkeeper Ershi followed closely behind Qin Ling half a zhang away.
