Chapter 6: The Valley of the Lost Soul

I don't know how long it took, Qin Xiaotian felt a cold and sweet spring water in his mouth, which slowly poured into his throat, and he swallowed it urgently, and suddenly felt a lot more energetic. When he opened his eyes slightly, he suddenly saw a strange-looking and very ugly old woman standing a meter away, staring at him with blood-red eyes. The ugly old woman kindly asked, "Child, you have finally woken up, drink another glass of water!" The ugly old woman stretched out her right hand and pinched his jaw, and in her left hand she held a cup full of water, and was pouring water into Qin Xiaotian's mouth. Qin Xiaotian found himself sleeping on a clean and tidy bed, it turned out that the ugly old woman saved him, and smiled slightly to express his gratitude to the ugly old woman. The ugly old woman smiled strangely, then placed the cup on the table in front of the bed, and then turned to sit on the stool in silence. Qin Xiaotian struggled out of bed and said, "Thank you mother-in-law for saving your life, your great kindness, I will report it again next day." The ugly old woman said lightly: "Child, your injuries are not healed yet, how did you fall off?" and replied to her mother-in-law's words, "I was attacked by a wild monkey to save my junior sister and fell off the cliff." "Your junior sister?" asked the ugly old woman. Qin Xiaotian didn't know what the identity of the ugly old woman was, so he regarded Han Liuyun as his junior sister. The ugly old woman asked softly, "Then what is your name, and who is Master?" Qin Xiaotian hadn't heard such concerned words for a long time, and a warm current surged up in his chest, knowing that the ugly old woman had no ill will towards him, otherwise, she wouldn't have saved him easily. But thinking of Han Liuyun's life and death, he couldn't help crying loudly, "Mother-in-law, I'm going to find my junior sister, can you tell me where this is?" The ugly old woman came over and covered his shoulder with her left hand and comforted: "Good boy, if you feel uncomfortable, just cry a lot, your junior sister will be fine." "I'm called the Valley of Lost Souls, do you mean that you are the only one in this Valley of Lost Souls?" "Alas, twenty years have passed, and the Qing Dynasty is no longer as brave as it was back then, and with Yuan Shikai's old thief holding the military power, the Qing Dynasty is afraid that there is no hope. By the way, you haven't told me who your master is?" Qin Xiaotian wiped away his tears and said, "Mother-in-law, my master is Master Xuanzhi of Shaolin Temple. The ugly old woman was shocked and said, "Xuan Zhi is really your master, you won't be lying to me!" Qin Xiaotian saw that the ugly old woman didn't believe his words, so he pounced, knelt in front of her, and said, "Mother-in-law saved my life, I don't dare to deceive my mother-in-law." The ugly old woman squatted down and held his hand with both hands, Qin Xiaotian felt that her hands were very cold, and there was no blood, she was slightly startled, and she didn't dare to face her ugly face, "Good boy, get up, don't be like this, get up quickly!" Qin Xiaotian stood up and thanked her mother-in-law again. The ugly old woman said, "Come with me, and I'll take you to a place." So, Qin Xiaotian followed behind her mother-in-law, she took Qin Xiaotian to a stone door, she stepped forward and pressed the button on the stone wall, and a stone door opened to the left and right, and the ugly old woman beckoned him into the room, only to see a girl sleeping on the bed. The ugly old woman turned to him and said, "Good boy, do you see if she is your junior sister?" She didn't fall badly, but she seemed to have been poisoned and was in a coma. Qin Xiaotian was overjoyed, and ran forward to check, and sure enough, it was the Korean wave cloud he was looking for. Mother-in-law, it's her, she's my sister. The ugly old woman laughed and said, "That's great, you have finally found your junior sister!" Qin Xiaotian said gratefully: "Mother-in-law's great kindness to us, we will never forget it in our lives." He couldn't help but lie down in front of the bed and shouted softly: "Liuyun, I finally found you, I know you are still alive, can you wake up?" After a long time, Han Liuyun, who was sleeping on the bed, opened his eyes, and suddenly saw an ugly old woman and a man standing in front of the bed, shook his head in fear, and said: "Who are you? Why do you look so ugly? Don't come here, if you dare to come, I will die to show you!" Qin Xiaotian saw her look demented, and his heart was unspeakably uncomfortable:" Liuyun, it's me, I'm your big brother Qin, can you calm down?" Han Liuyun rolled his eyes, shook his head vigorously, and said, "Who is my big brother Qin?" is you?" and then smirked and pointed at Qin Xiaotian with his finger, "Hehe, you are more handsome, that ugly old woman is too ugly, she must be the devil." The ugly old woman was angry and scolded: "You slut, dare to say that I am an ugly old woman, don't believe that I will kill you with one slap!" The ugly old woman stepped forward to catch Han Liuyun, Qin Xiaotian grabbed her hand and apologized: "Mother-in-law, my junior sister is delirious, please forgive me!" The ugly old woman let go and stopped, taking a few steps back, but she complained to herself: "If I had known that she was a wolf-hearted thing, I would not have saved her in the first place." "Yesterday evening, I was practicing near the waterhole, and I saw a boulder fall from the top of the cliff, and then I saw a figure falling, but she met me, an old woman, "This slut's life should not be extinguished, otherwise he will be crushed." Qin Xiaotian was also very rude and rude after seeing the ugly old woman angry, and he couldn't help but worry a little in his heart, afraid that Han Liuyun would talk nonsense again. He pressed her down on the bed and covered her with a quilt. He turned to the ugly old woman and said, "Mother-in-law, you don't care about the villain, she is delirious." "My junior sister usually has a good temperament, she must have been poisoned. The ugly old woman's anger in her heart seemed to have not subsided, and she said coldly: "I don't care if she is poisoned? If she is so rude to me, I will beat her to death with one palm!" My senior brother praised me for my beauty, but she dared to insult me like this. Qin Xiaotian thought to himself: "So that's the case, isn't it just to say that she is ugly?" Mother-in-law, you must have had many men bending over for you back then, no wonder your senior brother praised you like this. The smile on the ugly old woman's face began to bloom, and she said with a faint smile: "You kid can still talk and understand etiquette, my senior brother loves me." Qin Xiaotian asked, "Where is the mother-in-law's senior brother, why is he not by the mother-in-law's side now?" The ugly old woman sighed, don't mention it, it's been twenty years, I can bear these long twenty years, I believe that my senior brother loves me. Qin Xiaotian looked at her with confidence, but the expression on his face flickered and darkened, and he asked loudly, "Boy, do you believe that my senior brother loved me?" Qin Xiaotian shook his head, "Who is the senior brother of the senior?" The ugly old woman was stunned for a long time, and muttered: "Who is my senior brother? Why don't I remember who my senior brother is? Could it be that the Valley of Lost Souls has sealed all my past memories." Then the ugly old woman roared hysterically, and her hands grabbed the ground with all her might, and at once her ten fingers cut ten uneven threads on the ground, and in a moment her ten fingers bled out. Qin Xiaotian looked at her pitiful and persuaded: "Mother-in-law, don't torture yourself anymore, just tell me who your senior brother is? The ugly old woman looked at him in surprise and said, "Boy, what you said is true? You won't lie to me!" Qin Xiaotian nodded and said, "My life was saved by my mother-in-law, of course I won't lie to you!" The ugly old woman looked at him, child, even if you can help me, there is no way for us to get out of the Valley of the Lost Soul, since I fell into this valley, it has been more than 20 years, do you still believe that my senior brother still loves me? Time is a knife that urges people, I am no longer the beautiful girl I used to be, but an ugly old woman. Qin Xiaotian asked in embarrassment, "Mother-in-law, are you saying that we have no way out of the Valley of Lost Souls?" "Yes, because I haven't found an exit yet. Qin Xiaotian was worried, if there was no exit as the ugly old woman said, it meant that the three of them would stay in the Valley of Lost Souls for the rest of their lives. Seeing his worried look, the ugly old woman asked, "You kid doesn't want to stay in the Valley of Lost Souls, I can see it." "Of course I don't, because I miss Master, Mother-in-law. The ugly old woman laughed, your martial arts are mediocre, and your master is a nobody in the rivers and lakes, right? Qin Xiaotian didn't like to hear this sentence, and said: "Who said that my master has no status in the rivers and lakes, my master is the master of Xuanzhi of Shaolin Temple, I told you yesterday." "Oh, it turned out to be that ungrateful Xuanzhi. I saw the ugly old woman staring at him, and after a while, she quickly turned around, raised her arms up, and yelled: "Senior brother, why didn't you come to save me?" In an instant, Qin Xiaotian felt the earth shake, and the leaves fell to the ground. At the same time, Qin Xiaotian felt dizzy and covered his ears with his hands. It took a long time for him to feel more relaxed, and she knew that it was the ugly old woman who was venting her inner discomfort with superior internal strength. The ugly old woman ignored him, opened her mouth and spit out something, shooting at a branch ten meters away with the thick mouth of a bowl, and within a few seconds, the branch fell from the middle of the trunk. Qin Xiaotian was very surprised, but she could imagine that her internal strength was so deep. If this thing hurts someone, I'm afraid it's a corpse in a different place. After a long time, Qin Xiaotian came back to his senses and said, "Mother-in-law has such an amazing kung fu, why can't she get out of the Valley of Lost Souls?" The ugly old woman said indifferently: "Boy, there are many mysteries in the Valley of Lost Souls? It's not so easy to think of the valley!" I asked you, "Who is better at my kung fu or your master's kung fu!" Qin Xiaotian was silent, stunned, looking at the ugly old woman, she saw that Qin Xiaotian did not answer her question, and her ugly face became extremely terrifying, and said: "If you don't answer my question, you are despising me for not being as good as your master, right!" If you don't answer me, I will slap you to death with one palm! Qin Xiaotian saw that she was moody, and explained: "Mother-in-law, no, you and my master's kung fu are amazing. But I found that your kung fu is similar to that of an ape. The ugly old woman immediately became angry and scolded: "Dog mongrel, you dare to scold me!" After that, she slashed at Qin Xiaotian with a whirlwind palm, Qin Xiaotian thought to herself: "Falling into the Valley of Lost Souls, and there is no way out, it is better to let her be killed with one palm." When her palm was about to slash to the top of Qin Xiaotian's head, her palm turned and stopped, her fingers trembled, and she opened her mouth and scolded: "Dog bastard, why don't you dodge? Are you really not afraid of death?" Qin Xiaotian said without fear: "Mother-in-law, I beg you for one thing? Then it will not be too late for you to slash me to death with another palm." "What's the matter!" said quickly, a man should not look like a mother-in-law, and my old woman disliked it the most. It's my sister's matter, she was poisoned by oleander, delirious, and will offend her mother-in-law in some places, I hope you can forgive her and don't slap her to death. The ugly old woman laughed, it turns out that your kid is atoning for your junior sister, so he is not afraid of death, and he is affectionate and righteous enough. "Well, my old woman will grant you this request and let her stay in this world. "In that case, I am reluctant to chop you to death with one palm. Qin Xiaotian bowed down and said, "Thank you, mother-in-law." After a while, Qin Xiaotian followed the ugly old woman back to Han Liuyun's room. I saw Han Liuyun squatting in front of the bed trembling all over, and when he saw the ugly old woman and Qin Xiaotian coming in, he hurriedly avoided it. Eat and ask: "Don't come here, you are here to hurt me, otherwise, my father will not let you go!" Qin Xiaotian saw her demented appearance, his heart was very sour, he stepped forward to help her up, and said: "Liuyun, don't be afraid, I am your eldest brother Qin." After a long time, Han Liuyun's mood stabilized. The ugly old woman stepped forward to roll up her sleeves for her, stretched out her palm to check her pulse, and after a while, she said: "Boy, she has indeed been poisoned by oleander, and there is no good special medicine at present." But it's not like there's no cure. "What can you do?" asked Qin Xiaotian. The only way is for me to use superior internal strength to force the venom out of her body, and I will raise her for a few days, and I am sure that she will recover quickly. In that case, please ask my mother-in-law to save my junior sister. "Ah, I might as well give it a try!" said the ugly old woman. The ugly old woman gestured to Qin Xiaotian, and he understood in his heart. stepped forward to comfort Han Liuyun and said, "Liuyun, don't be afraid, my mother-in-law will help you treat the venom in your body." The ugly old woman told him to stand guard outside the door in case anything happened. Qin Xiaotian thanked the old woman and exited the room nervously. Qin Xiaotian stood outside the door, wondering for a while, and he didn't know how the ugly old woman could poison Han Liuyun. But I was still faintly worried in my heart, afraid that the ugly old woman would turn her face and hurt Han Liuyun. So he put his ear to the door and spied on, and suddenly he heard only a whistling sound, apparently an object hit the door, and Qin Xiaotian was stunned and retreated, holding his breath to guard the door. I only heard the ugly old woman say, "You kid dare to peep, don't you be ashamed?" Then, there was silence in the room. The ugly old woman slowly took off Han Liuyun's shirt, and in front of her was a pair of white skin like snow, and she was stunned. The ugly old woman said: "The girl is clear and jade, and her face is overwhelming, you and your senior brother are a perfect match." Han Liuyun didn't answer, just stared at the ugly old woman in front of him in a daze. The ugly old woman placed her clothes, and Zhenzhen said: "Girl, don't be nervous, I will give you luck to drive away the poison immediately." After that, the ugly old woman was lucky, her palms shook left and right, and the internal force of her whole body instantly condensed in her palms, and then pushed her palms together, and sent her back arm to work, Han Liuyun's body leaned forward slightly, and then, Han Liuyun felt a stream of blood go up, against the throat, wow, spit out a small stream of blood, the ugly old woman saw it clearly, and knew in her heart that the venom in her body was not completely expelled. With her current skills, she should be completely sure to force out the venom in Han Liuyun's body, so she regained her strength, flew with both palms, and forced all the acupuncture points on Han Liuyun's back arm. The ugly old woman saw that the blood she vomited was jet black, which was enough to prove that she had successfully detoxified her this time. She said excitedly: "Girl, now you don't have to worry about your life, you will be cured after a few days of rest." But she herself felt very tired, because she had over-injured her vitality from the detoxification and healing of Hallyu Yun, and she had to recuperate in order to recover her depleted strength. Since the ugly old woman fell into the Valley of Ecstasy, she has created a set of superior internal skills, and this set of superior internal skills has allowed her to practice to the realm of perfection. If she didn't have a superior internal strength method, she would not have been able to get through the Ren Pulse, Du Pulse, Chong Pulse, Yin Xuan, Yin Jiao, Waiqiu and other acupuncture points on Han Liuyun's body, and she would not be able to expel the venom in Han Liuyun's body at all. After recuperating for a while, the ugly old woman felt that the power consumed to repel poison for Hallyu Yun had been restored. Seeing Han Liuyun's ruddy face and bright eyes, he stepped forward and asked kindly, "Girl, are you better?" Han Liuyun bowed and bowed: "Thank you mother-in-law for saving her life, the little woman is grateful." Han Liuyun took a closer look, and saw that the room was clean and tidy, and no one seemed to have lived in it, so he asked, "Mother-in-law, what kind of place is this? Why am I here, how can I be here?" Han Liuyun thanked the ugly old woman again, and the ugly old woman waved her hand and said, "I am only entrusted by others, I want to thank you or thank your senior brother." "My senior brother?" "I don't have a senior brother, so it must be Brother Qin who asked your old man to expel poison and heal my wounds." The ugly old woman grinned, look at the deep relationship between the two of you, what a good pair of mandarin ducks! Han Liuyun turned around shyly and said, "Let my mother-in-law laugh, I・・・・・・..." The ugly old woman shouted outside the door: "Boy, Miss Han has regained her senses, don't come in quickly!" The door opened, Qin Xiaotian appeared at the door with a surprised face, Han Liuyun was speechless for a moment, ran forward and hugged Qin Xiaotian tightly, and said with tears streaming down: "Brother Qin, the sky has eyes, we are all still alive!" Qin Xiaotian was very excited and said, "Yes, we are all still alive, it was my mother-in-law who saved us!" For several days, the ugly old woman couldn't see anyone, and Qin Xiaotian felt that something was wrong. While the two were in a panic, the ugly old woman mysteriously appeared again. Qin Xiaotian asked worriedly, "Mother-in-law, where have you been these days?" The ugly old woman said, "Boy, I'll take you to a place to know." Han Liuyun cautiously asked, "Mother-in-law, do you want to take me with you?" Of course, the ugly old woman took the two out of the room, and Han Liuyun closed the door. Qin Xiaotian saw the mysterious appearance of the ugly old woman, so he didn't ask much, and followed her unhurriedly. The three of them walked through a stone wall, then turned right, and then entered a gate, which turned out to be a tunnel. The ugly old woman said: "Boy, do you know the words?" Qin Xiaotian said: "I know a little, is there handwriting carved on the stone wall?" Not only is there handwriting engraved, but there are many more? In the dark, Qin Xiaotian touched the stone wall with his hand, touching it from a low place to the top, and found nothing unusual. Qin Xiaotian said: "Mother-in-law, there is no handwriting on the stone wall, are you dazzled!" The ugly old woman replied with great confidence: "You will never go wrong, can you try again?" Well, Qin Xiaotian replied, and wandered around the stone wall with his hand, and after a while, he felt that his fingers were uneven, and his fingers slid along the uneven places, which were indeed some handwriting. Qin Xiaotian was overjoyed and said: "Come and see, the stone wall really has handwriting? Maybe we can find something through the handwriting on it?" Qin Xiaotian polished the fire, and through the bright light, he saw a few lines of words engraved on the stone wall, and Qin Xiaotian said: "This place is exempt." There are a few other lines: "Ecstasy palm method: Ecstasy palm, ghosts urge people, evil is invincible, and it will turn things upside down." Lost Soul Valley, those who enter by mistake, escape from death, the valley is full of mysteries, and the valley on the right wall can be spring. The ugly old woman sighed and said, "My old woman has lived in the Valley of Lost Souls for more than 20 years, and she still doesn't know that there is a mystery hidden on this stone wall. Han Liuyun asked curiously: "Brother Qin, what is the mystery hidden in these lines?" Qin Xiaotian was stunned and said, "I don't know what it means, it's probably what the Ecstasy Palm Method is." This punch was transmitted in the early years of the Ming Dynasty when Shen Chengkuan, the head of the Qingfeng Road of Wudang Mountain, traveled to Baiyun Temple of Hengshan Mountain in Shanxi. Its boxing principle: "Set yin and yang, five elements, Heluo principle, Tai Chi, the length of gossip." The winding path leads to the secluded place, the flowers and trees of the Taoist courtyard are deep, and the first line is like a bright spirit, and it comes from the supernatural power. Its characteristics: "Bewilderment and soul-snatching." Looking at the right wall, there are a few lines engraved with the song: "Xingquan skillfully swings the cloud and mist array, the formation of the god of sealing the city closes the door, the soft and hard are used to fight in a row, and the body is flickering and fascinated by the enemy." At the moment, Qin Xiaotian memorized the song by heart. Then he said to the ugly old woman: "Mother-in-law, these words of song are very mysterious. The ugly old woman didn't understand what it meant, what kind of mystery was there to hide, wasn't it just a few broken poems. Qin Xiaotian disagreed, and ordered Han Liuyun and the ugly old woman to retreat, and the two of them retreated to a foot away. Qin Xiaotian secretly used his internal force, and when he applied his internal force to do whatever he wanted, he recited a few unrelated words of song in his mouth, and after reciting, he exerted force with both palms, roared, and said: "The gate of the city is opened." Sure enough, I saw that under the stone sand drama on the stone wall, the sky was like the earth cracking, and Han Liuyun was so frightened that he hid back. The ugly old woman was shocked and said, "Boy, what should I do? This hole is about to collapse." "It's important for us to escape, Qin Xiaotian jumped back sideways, protecting Han Liuyun, and the ugly old woman immediately exerted her internal strength, and she had already jumped out of several meters. As soon as they stood still, a boulder collapsed, with a force of several thousand catties, rolling towards the three of them, Qin Xiaotian and the ugly old woman exerted internal force together, and the four palms were shot out together, resisting the boulder back, only hearing a few sounds of "pop", and the boulder had broken a big gap. Han Liuyun saw that Qin Xiaotian and the ugly old woman blocked the boulder, and he was not afraid, and stood aside and clapped his hands in praise, "You are amazing!" The ugly old woman's face was full of smiles, or your senior brother is amazing. Han Liuyun stammered and said, "Mother-in-law, you always hurt me, I don't know martial arts, how can Brother Qin be my senior brother?" Qin Xiaotian and Han Liuyun looked at each other and smiled. My old woman is old and has a bad memory, "It's not Senior Brother, it's your Big Brother Qin!" Han Liuyun blushed and stopped talking. Suddenly, there was another sound of collapse, and everyone looked at each other in amazement, and saw a big hole exposed in the collapse. The ugly old lady shouted, "Boy, maybe we can get out of the hole." It turns out that the real mystery lies in the sentence "Spring can be found in the valley on the right wall", and it must be that the head of the Ecstasy Fist once lived in seclusion here. Qin Xiaotian thought about it and felt that these words were also logical, and the handwriting on the stone wall was clearly made by the head of the Ecstasy Fist. The three of them came out along the hole, and about fifty meters in front of them, there was a large pavilion. They rested for a moment and found a trail leading down the mountain. At this moment, the ugly old woman's mood is very complicated, and she suddenly wants to leave the Lost Soul Valley where she has lived for more than 20 years, and she is still a little reluctant. She said nostalgically: "This Ecstasy Valley treats me well, and it also allows me to create a set of superior internal skills, I have to go back and see before I make plans?" Qin Xiaotian and Han Liuyun returned to the Ecstasy Valley with the ugly old woman. It was several months to live, and after spring and summer, Qin Xiaotian practiced hard every day, and learned the routines of Ecstasy Boxing, Ecstasy Gun, Ecstasy Knife, and Ecstasy Sword. Qin Xiaotian is full of wisdom, and the ugly old woman will also teach Qin Xiaotian her own superior internal skills, and within a few days, Qin Xiaotian's skills have increased greatly. After a long time, Han Liuyun was bored with the life in Lost Soul Valley, so he pestered Qin Xiaotian and left. In autumn, Qin Xiaotian took Han Liuyun and the ugly old woman out of the Valley of Lost Souls.
