Chapter 223: The River of Death
The wind blows through the peaks, the branches and the grass rattle, and the black pines and thorns all over the mountain are intertwined, and although they look dense, they cannot hide the deep desolation of the season. US updates are the fastest
Yuan Yufeng continued along his train of thought: "Is there anyone who expects you to attack the Medicine King Valley, or is worried that you are not determined enough to attack the Medicine King Valley, and wants to push you to act quickly in this way?"
Li Xuanxin said: "The Medicine King Valley occupies an important position in the Flying Camel Gang, if the Medicine King Valley really collapses, who will be the most beneficial? Wang Shichong has no power in the rivers and lakes, so it can't be him." At present, I am in charge of the Twelve Consecutive Banks, and the fourth son, Li Yuanji, will not act rashly. Could it be Li Shimin?" he asked with a deep groan, "What are the characteristics of the man in black?"
Yuan Yufeng didn't think about it: "Eunuch." Li Xuan exclaimed: "Eunuch, Yin Yang Warrior?" Yuan Yufeng said in disgust: "The people in black are not only a group of people who are not men or women, but they are also very desperate, and even a little crazy. ”
Li Xuan said: "If it is a eunuch, it cannot be arranged by Li Shimin." Yuan Yufeng said: "Why?" Li Xuan said: "Based on my observation of Li Shimin's character, he is a principled and ambitious person, so it is impossible for him to raise filthy eunuchs. ”
Yuan Yufeng muttered, "Who could it be?"
Li Xuanchang sighed: "It doesn't matter who he is! I think if we take the Medicine King Valley, the people behind the people behind the black-clothed man will definitely appear." Then he said with a gloomy expression: "Before this vicious battle between us and the Medicine King Valley began, someone came out to stir up. Hey, this is the rivers and lakes!"
Yuan Yufeng pondered, pulled Li Xuan aside and said, "I believe you already have a way to enter the valley, but have you thought about your safety when you leave the valley?"
Li Xuan smiled faintly and said: "After entering the Valley of the Medicine King, I don't know how to live and die, why should I think of the way out of the valley ......" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered what his father An Ruohailin said to himself when he was dying, "People have no long-term worries, they must have near-term worries". He groaned: "Master Yuan, Master Zu Zhengyu took me to your horse farm, we can be said to be familiar at first sight, and now I ask you to help, so you are an important friend, so I really hope you have something to say!"
Yuan Yufeng smiled and said, "If you don't think I'm a friend, I won't come." Since they are brothers, how should you go first when you forcibly break into the Valley of the Medicine King?" Li Xuan said: "The first pass we enter the Valley is the River of Death. This river needs to enter the valley, and it is also needed to get out of the valley. ”
Yuan Yufeng said: "It seems that the River of Death is very crucial. Li Xuantou said: "It is indeed a very critical place to use it for both back and forth." Yuan Yufeng said: "But who is the right person to guard the riverside?" Li Xuan didn't think about it: "In less than three days, the white right envoy will come and let him guard the best." Yuan Yu said: "This is the best!" After a pause, he said, "When are we leaving?" Li Xuan said: "It's going to leave at dusk." Yuan Yufeng said: "I have heard of the reputation of these people. Needless to say, although Zhao Feiyan often follows Sang Markham to do some murder and ask for commissions, he is very upright and the most trustworthy. Although the sixteen brothers of the Gong family and the five brothers of the Di family in Di Jiazhai have poor martial arts, their character is also passable. However, people like Du Chun, Shi Jianghai, Zhang Shiwan, Dong Bimeng, Sha Mantian and others are all vicious forces that occupy one side, and they have always had a bad reputation, if you don't want to use them, it is better to send them back as soon as possible. ”
Li Xuan shook his head and said, "They said a long time ago that they are willing to enter the valley with me." ”
Yuan Yufeng said: "Sha Mantian, the sect leader of the Immortal Crane Five Elements Sect, is good at training poisons, and he may be able to use them. Hey, well, if they go, they must not leave our sight. Li Xuan's heart moved when he heard this, and he slowly shook his head and said: "Don't suspect that you don't need to use people, they follow me at the cost of their lives, and we shouldn't guard against them." Yuan Yufeng sighed: "Shaoxia's confidence is so wide!"
Li Xuan saw that Yuan Yufeng's fierce and calm eyes showed a little worry, and comforted: "You rest, let's set off after dusk." ”
The sun is getting west, the sun is dusk, and the sun, which was still warm, has begun to cool down. Before leaving, Miss Yuan Si said, "You go first, and Brother Shui and I will arrive later." Li Xuan knew that she was always wary of herself, and she no longer persuaded and said goodbye.
Everyone followed Li Xuanyu and walked towards the back slope of the Bamboo Shoot Peak. The back slope is not as steep as the front slope, and it is densely covered with black and white pine trees and some thorny trees. Li Xuanxin kept in mind what Long Hongye marked on the map: 'Start descending from the back slope of the bamboo shoot peak, turn left if you encounter white pine, turn right when you encounter black pine, see the gravel road, and reach the bank of the Death River, you can touch the gate of Yaowang Valley'. Li Xuan and everyone behind him are all carrying light skills, and they are walking on the downhill road, so they are very fast.
The mountain road is undulating, and the heart is silent. Sure enough, after only half an hour, everyone had stepped on a narrow and hidden gravel road.
The gravel road is hidden in the middle of a large field of trees, I don't know how far away, and when I look up, I only feel that there is no end to the chaos and recklessness. At this time, the surroundings are gradually immersed in the misty moonlit night, and the heavens and the earth seem to be shrouded in a light veil or fall into a chaotic world, and everything is like a dream. Also, the cold wind on a winter night should have been biting, but when the wind came here, it suddenly became much gentler.
The situation seems ordinary, but it often hides unexpected killing intentions, not to mention that they are approaching the infamous Medicine King Valley at this time. But what is strange is that this gravel road is as calm as water, except for the gentle wind that blows through the forest, not only do not there be any harmful mechanisms, not even a foraging mouse or a sleepy bird.
Li Xuan was secretly surprised, and said in his heart: "The winding paths here are secluded and mysterious, although they are not as good as the King's Mountain, but the strange atmosphere is even better. With such a silent night path, even if there is no hidden weapon mechanism to ambush, will all the beasts also be reduced to nothing?"
Yuan Yufeng and Yan Sui were around Li Xuan, and they seemed to have discovered this phenomenon that did not conform to the laws of nature. The two looked back at Du Chun, Shi Jianghai, Zhang Shiwan, Dong Bimeng, Sha Mantian, Shu Dingwen, Zhao Feiyan, Yang Qian, Huang Gandan, the sixteen brothers of the Gong family, the five brothers of Yanshan Di, as well as Jin Laoke and Dou Mugao after the break, and saw that although they followed silently, their faces were faintly panicked. The two looked at Li Xuan again, saw that he looked calm, and secretly praised: "This Li Shaoxia is really worthy of being an extraordinary person, and he does not judge strength or weakness by martial arts. It's just that I don't know what such a dense and gentle place has to do with the River of Death. ”
As they walked, they suddenly noticed that the gravel path under their feet was like being squeezed into a sheep's intestines, and it was not only narrower, but even steeply descended.
Li Xuan walked in front, used the Divine Dance Blade to remove the branches above the path, and cautiously walked along the road, feeling a slight apprehension in his heart, and suddenly felt a strange breath floating from the end of his nose. This smell is mixed with the fishy stench of rotting corpses, rotten grass, and silt, although it is very light, but it makes people can't help but feel a little panicked. His heart moved, his body ejected like a bow, and slid forward more than twenty feet against the ground, but he didn't know that the breath came very fast, and when he went, before he could follow the breath search, the breath had already disappeared.
The breath drifted away, followed by an even thicker strange aura. Li Xuanxin said: "This place really has the breath of death. ”
Yuan Yufeng saw that Li Xuan was gone, and said in surprise: "Li Shaoxia, have you arrived at the River of Death?"
When Li Xuan heard this, he stopped and waited for everyone, shook his head lightly, and said, "Since the breath of death is coming, the River of Death should be not far ahead." Master Yuan, you and everyone are careful and slow, I'll go to the front first. ”
Yuan Yufeng dared to fall behind, and turned around and beckoned everyone to rush forward to chase Li Xuan. Everyone ran along the path for hundreds of feet, and suddenly felt that their eyes were open. Li Xuan listened to everyone behind him, and said in a deep voice: "This should be the first barrier of the Medicine King Valley, the River of Death. ”
Everyone looked intently, and saw that the sides of the river were very different from the lush paths they had walked before, and the gray hue did not look like the human world, because the earth had been torn apart by the evil spirits of hell here. This crack is about fifty zhang wide, there is no head on the top, no tail on the bottom, silent, the light brown river water slowly flows under the gray-white night fog, like the blood plasma soaked in venom mixed with painful tears, weird, terrifying color, has made people daunted.
There is a stone wall on the other side of the river, and on both sides and in the shallow water, there are thousands of milky white strange stones of different sizes, from a distance, the strange stones flash with demonic white light, like the devil staring at the eyes of the world, and the evil and resentful are full of Sen Sen's ghostly aura.
Li Xuan looked carefully, and saw that the area of more than thirty zhang on the riverside was overgrown with wild grass, and the yellow color of the barren grass was like the knotted hair of a dying man, damp and gloomy, exuding the smell of decay, and the one that could break the silent and monotonous atmosphere should have been a dozen pine locust trees nearby, but it was a pity that these big trees with thick trunks had turned into shriveled ghost trees in some years and months. The ghost tree was not lonely, for there were a few dead birds standing on the shriveled branches. The birds seemed to have died in their sleep, and over the years, for some time, they still maintained the posture of standing and looking at before they died, and dozens of bison and wild horses fell in the wild grass under the trees, suffering from the wind and rain, and losing their flesh and blood, and even the white bones turned black and yellow.
What was the force that froze death here in an instant? who was it? God, yes? No one seemed to be able to explain it.
Yuan Yufeng threw a branch into the river of death, only to see that the branch fell into the chaotic water, not only did it not make a splash, but it disappeared in an instant. Everyone's faces turned pale, and they all said: "When you enter the water and sink to the bottom, it melts into water, and it really deserves to be the river of death."
The silent river of death, every tea hour, will waft out a strong smell of death, this smell is strange and unpleasant, making people's hearts gloomy.
I don't know how long, Du Chun couldn't help but bend over and vomit, and then Shi Jianghai, Zhang Shiwan, Dong Bimeng, Sha Mantian's dozen people, as well as Zhao Feiyan, the sixteen brothers of the Gong family, and the Yanshan Di brothers all began to vomit. Li Xuan looked at them in surprise, Yuan Yufeng endured the feeling of wanting to vomit, and said in a deep voice: "Medicine King Valley...... The River of Death lives up to its name!"
Li Xuan also said worriedly when he saw it: "From this point of view, it is no longer possible to cut down trees or build bridges under piles, and the distance of more than fifty zhang, I am afraid that only immortals can float over." Hey, Master Yan, in this case, how can you cross the river?"
Yan Sui pondered for a long time and said, "There is a way." After a pause, he said, "But first try whether the opposite mountain stone is solid." With that, he took out a bird made of wood from his bosom. He twisted the two wings of the wooden bird in one direction dozens of times, and then threw them vigorously towards the opposite bank. The wooden bird flew away, and its wings vibrated like a living bird in the gray air, and in an instant it flew over the river of death to the other side.
With a bang, the wooden bird seemed to crash against the hard rocks. Yan Sui listened attentively, and said with a smile on his face: "It's strong enough, the stone wall on the other side is strong enough." Then he took out a wooden bird from his bosom and took out a black and shiny black iron needle. Everyone saw that the black iron needle had spring barbs, and if it were driven into the stone, it would be extremely difficult to pull it out.
Everyone was curious, and Yan Sui explained: "This barbed needle was made by me recently, not only does it not bend into the steel, but it also can't be pulled out, but if this needle is allowed to enter the stone into the iron, in addition to the flying speed of the bird, it also needs a strong internal force to give a strong impact force to complete."
Yan Sui said, took out a thin flexible silk thread and tied it to the nose of the black iron needle, fixed it on the bird's beak, and handed it to Li Xuan, saying: "Li Shaoxia has strong internal strength, if you help it, the steel needle will definitely be nailed into the mountain stone." Li Xuan took the wooden bird, Yan Sui twisted its wings vigorously, and said in a low voice: "It has become a ......" Before the words fell, Li Xuan had already struggled to throw the wooden bird out.
The wooden bird 'woo' leaped across the river, and everyone only heard the two sounds of 'ding' and 'peng', knowing that the former was the sound of a dark iron needle nailing into the mountain stone, and the later sound must be made by the wooden bird's broken bones, and they couldn't help but sigh softly.
Yan Sui stretched out his hand and pulled the brocade silk, which was very tenacious, knowing that the end of the black iron steel nail had been firmly nailed into the mountain stone on the opposite bank, and said happily: "I have tried this method many times in the past few years, but because the internal force is too weak, it is always difficult to nail the wooden bird after flying fifteen or sixteen zhang. I really didn't expect that with the help of Li Shaoxia's internal strength, my dream was fulfilled. As he spoke, he took out another wooden flying bird, and together with Li Xuan, he pulled another brocade silk on the surface of the river according to the previous method.
This was repeated several times, but in just half an hour, seven or eight brocade wires had been pulled up side by side on the river surface, and each brocade wire was half a foot apart, becoming a line bridge.
Everyone knows that Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu, fought with Sima Yi of Wei, went out of Qishan six times, and personally designed and produced a magical wooden ox and flowing horse in order to transport the military grain from Shu Road. But about the mysterious wooden ox and flowing horse, I have only heard of it, I have never seen it, and now I see that Yan Sui is not in a hurry, with the help of Li Xuan's thick internal force, manipulating the mysterious wooden flying bird, carrying the Xuanzhi and Xuan Bamboo Silk to fly over the River of Death, and pull up the line bridge on the river surface, not only surprised but also very excited.
The line bridge is completed, and it needs people with very high skill to step on the river.
The river of death under the bridge is not prosperous, it seems to be calm, but in fact, it is faintly murderous, if Li Xuan and others are unfortunate enough to fall into the water when they fly over, they will definitely die, so to fly across the river, they must be extremely light. Needless to say, Yuan Yufeng, Jin Laoke, Dou Mugao, He Xiandu, Du Chun, and Sha Mantian also said that they were very sure, and the rest of them were unsure, especially Shu Dingwen and Yan Sui, although one knew astronomy and one was fine, but their martial arts were not high, let alone light skills. Everyone discussed, and finally decided that Yuan Yufeng, Jin Laoke, Dou Mugao, He Xiandu, Du Chun, Sha Mantian and others crossed the river first, while Shu Dingwen and Yan Sui crossed the river with Li Xuan's burden, leaving Yang Qian, Huang Gandan, Zhang Shiwan, Dong Bimeng, the five brothers of Yanshan Di, and the sixteen members of the Gong family to be led by Zhao Feiyan and Shi Jianghai, waiting for the arrival of Bai Hanbing.
Li Xuan made the arrangements, and began to fly across the river with everyone.
Before midnight, Li Xuan and Yuan Yufeng had safely crossed the River of Death. No one expected that there was no danger in crossing the river this time, and he couldn't help but increase his confidence, the Straight Medicine King Valley is notorious, and it has not been broken for many years, except for the mystery of martial arts poison, it seems that it is just by virtue of natural danger. Now that this natural danger has passed, even if the following is more sinister, I believe it is nothing more than that.
There were no tall trees on the other side of the River of Death, and a white stone wall was only seven or eight feet from the riverbank, and the black iron steel nails carried by the wooden birds were nailed to the stone wall. Li Xuan sighed in his heart: "If it weren't for this stone wall, I'm afraid it would be really difficult to cross the river now!" He saw that in addition to knee-high barren grass under the stone wall, there was also an extremely hidden path. After skirting the stone wall along the road, they plunged into a dense forest that had not yet lost its leaves. The forest is crisscrossed with foliage, but there is a path that winds its way forward.
In such a deserted place, there are human paths, and it seems that the direction has been found in the right direction! Everyone endured the wet and stuffy breath, and could pass through the dense forest, but they were blocked by a stone wall. At this point, the road is at the end of the road, so where is the way forward? )
