Chapter 372: Valley of Sadness
In the Cockroach Mountain, in places like this with obvious signs, there are generally insect cultivators nearby, that is, to declare that this is their family's territory, to warn outsiders not to move, and it is also the road sign that the monks here are accustomed to, and the scenery in the mountains is very similar, and it is easy to confirm the direction by relying on these landmarks.

Falling next to these three boulders, Fang Yan immediately found a hidden place nearby, and as soon as he hid in it, the messenger on his body immediately sounded, needless to say, Wang Jin must have arrived nearby. When Fang Yan walked out not far away, he immediately heard Wang Jin's voice in front of him: "Fang Daoyou is really a believer, but he is too late, I am really ashamed." ”
"I just arrived here, and I received a summons from a Taoist friend, and I was a little worried that I was late and missed the big event of the Taoist friend. Fang Yan immediately responded, and then saw Wang Jin walking quickly, dressed not much different from Fang Yan's outfit.
"I didn't expect Fang Daoyou to be so young, and he could have such a kind of cultivation, it really made me ashamed, I am afraid that Daoyou's age is only under thirty, right?" That day, Fang Yan was wearing a hat in the Fang City, and he couldn't see his true face, and today Wang Jin saw Fang Yan's appearance, which was much younger than he imagined.
In fact, Fang Yan is over thirty this year, and he is already thirty or two, but the kind of decoction he soaks every night, in addition to increasing the Yuan Force in the body, for some reason, actually has the ability to maintain his appearance, which makes Fang Yan really a little speechless, and he doesn't know what the intention of the person who configured these decoctions was in the first place, but he didn't dare to change it indiscriminately.
It's just that this makes him look younger, but he is in his early twenties, and it is difficult to see his true age by visual inspection alone without checking the bone age. And Wang Jin is nearly forty this year, and he will miss the best age to build the foundation in another ten years, so he is already a little anxious about this site, otherwise he will not go around looking for people to come together.
"I'm ashamed to say that for some reason, there is some effect on the face, so my face looks young. In fact, the age is not much younger than Wang Daoyou, and he has stepped into the fairy road for one or two decades, but he has achieved nothing so far. Fang Yan said with a wry smile, thinking of his own progress. It's like turning over the scars on your body.
"The effect of rejuvenating the face? The exercises of Daoyou are really peculiar, and I admire them. "Exercises with the effect of rejuvenation. Generally, it is only female cultivators who cultivate, and they don't know whether what they say in the dialect is true or false, Wang Jin held back for a long time, and had to say the word admiration.
As he spoke, the last monk roared to him, and one hovered and landed in front of them, and without saying hello, he walked directly towards them. He was a very young monk, who looked to be in his early twenties. It shouldn't be that he has also practiced the effect of rejuvenating the face like Fang Yan, this person's complexion is slightly dark, and there is a bit of arrogance between his eyebrows.
"Wang Daoyou, is it just me and the three of you, if you are here, you should set off immediately, so as not to have too many dreams at night. The person who came did not say anything polite, and as soon as he came, he urged to leave, and his tone was even a little noisy. A trace of unhappiness immediately flashed in Wang Jin's eyes.
"Hehe, don't worry, let me introduce you to the two of you, this is Fang Daoyou, there are only three of us on this trip, after entering there. We still have to wait for our cooperation. With that, the man reluctantly nodded to Fang Yan, but Fang Yan's expression remained unchanged and nodded at him.
Then Wang Jin took out an old jade slip from his body and said to the two: "This jade slip is enough to prove that there is a complete version of the method of forging spirits there. The two Taoist friends took a look at it, and they knew that there was absolutely no lie in the next place. ”
The two dialects took turns to look at it, this jade slip is not much, only a few dozen lines, with the names of various items written on it, it looks like a gift list, but the method of forging the spirit is impressively listed.
Just when the two of them were a little puzzled, Wang Jin opened his mouth and said: "When the map of that site was discovered in Xia, it was placed together with this jade slip in a brocade box, and there was no need to hide this matter in Xia. Besides, the two of you can take a closer look at the back of this jade slip, and what is the similarity with the map in your hand. ”
Said that Wang Jin took out a similar jade slip, and then put the back of the two jade slips together for comparison, only to see that below the two jade slips, there was a small "Wang" character engraved, which was very clear and the shape was exactly the same.
"Don't be so troublesome, I'll believe it early tomorrow, don't waste any more time, let's go early. The monk surnamed Cheng glanced at it casually, looked at Fang Yan's careful inspection, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously twitched, urging again.
Originally, Fang Yan wanted to take the opportunity to see what was in the map, but this person urged vigorously, Fang Yan had to return the two jade slips, and followed the two of them to fly, while still thinking about the jade slips. What puzzled him was that the jade slip full of the names of the items, for what reason, they even had to make a detailed list of items, did they go to receive gifts according to the gift list?
Fang Yan was puzzled, but Wang Jin turned around and smiled at him, and said, "Fang Daoyou doesn't need to think about it, he will naturally understand when he gets there, hehe." ”
Two days passed, and Wang Jin took the two to a long and narrow valley. There were no waves along the way, and he didn't even see a few of the most famous demon insects in the Cockroach Mountain, and he flew here with Wang Jin, and it seemed that he was quite familiar with the situation along the way.
"Sad Valley, if you are not mistaken, this seems to be the entrance to Sad Valley, Wang Daoyou, is it right?" Looking at the mountains on both sides of the canyon, Fang Yan suddenly remembered that there was such a place on the map, which was a very remote place, and it was close to the edge of the demonic qi raging.
"Yes, this is Valley of Broken Hearts, but it used to be called Valley of the Dead. There used to be a lot of scattered spiritual veins here, all kinds of demon insects and resources are unknown, it is the first choice for monks to go out to collect resources, around this valley, there were also many large and small families nearby, and the monks came and went in an endless stream. ”
"I don't know when the aura in this valley has become thinner and thinner, not to mention the immortal cultivation family, even the demon insects have become less and less. Coming from the fairy city, the monks who came here to collect resources were slowly cut off, and this place became a place for the monks to return sadly, and over time it became a sad valley in the mouths of everyone. ”
Wang Jin was very familiar with this place, and even knew a lot about these anecdotes, so he casually told the ins and outs of this valley, so that the dialect two couldn't help but watch intently. The valley is flanked by tall and steep cliffs, gray rocks with no grass, and the vegetation in the valley is not luxuriant, and it looks a little desolate.
The three of them landed at the mouth of the valley, and it was a little difficult to fly here, for some reason, the closer they got to the valley, the thinner the aura became, and the spiritual power consumption to continue to fly with the sword was too great. Walking in the valley, there are rocks and man-high grass, and the passage that once entered and exited the valley was also submerged in a barren grass, and there was no trace of the monk's visit.
The valley is dozens of miles long, but the widest part is no more than a hundred feet, and the steep cliffs on both sides seem to have been cut out by a knife, towering straight into the clouds, clinging to this winding valley. This is the only place to go forward, and I think about what it was like to go through this place to find fate through countless monks in the valley.
Walking through this narrow valley road dozens of miles long, the front is suddenly open, the towering cliffs do not know where to retreat, the rolling low hills are thousands of miles at a glance, and the eyes are full of lush grass and trees, full of vitality and glory. In addition to the untimely billowing black clouds overhead, there was also a faint aura that was almost inaudible in the air, and this place was originally a place of life.
"Valley of Sadness, Valley of the Dead? hehe, I'm afraid the world has forgotten the real name of this place. Thousands of years ago, this place was a forbidden area for monks, except for the people of the royal family, no one else was allowed to step into half a step at all, because the original name of this place was the Valley of the Royal Tomb, which was the sleeping place of the royal families of all generations, except for the clansmen who could thrive here, how could others disturb the sleep of the ancestors of the royal family. Wang Jin suddenly said in a deep voice, his face full of vicissitudes.
"Wangling Valley, Valley of the Dead? It turned out to be a homonym, but it was falsely spread. Although I don't understand the theory of the leyline, I can also see that this is a treasure of feng shui, and what kind of atmosphere the royal family was back then. Fang Yan couldn't help but sigh, the land of the sacred royal family in the past has now fallen into such a situation.
"In those days, there were not only royal tombs here, but also a royal city inhabited by the royal family, and thousands of royal disciples lived in this city, not in the poison king city. The aura and cultivation conditions here used to far surpass that of the Immortal City, and the children of the royal family only need to be in the royal city, they can enjoy all the benefits sent by the Poison King City, live an arrogant and lascivious life, and be undefeated in the long run. ”
Wang Jin's words were filled with deep loss, and perhaps a faint pain, on the surface, the construction of this royal city seemed to be a big failure of the rulers of the poisonous king city back then, but the original idea of the royal city was probably not for their enjoyment, but more to provide the best cultivation environment for future generations.
But what they didn't expect was that the children and grandchildren were right under their noses, running this place into a comfortable nest, only greedy for enjoyment, and gradually forgetting the roots, and the hard work of the ancestors was also exhausted from generation to generation, and finally it was overthrown by the former servants, and this royal city is afraid that it will no longer exist.
"It's a pity that a good spiritual place has somehow dissipated, and if the foundation of this place is not lost, it may still be able to enjoy it for a thousand years. But what is the purpose of Wang Daoyou bringing us here, is it to discover the relics of the past, but the monks of Xiancheng are not stupid, a place like this, I am afraid that they have searched countless times, what else can be left in it?"
The monk surnamed Cheng asked a rare question, and there was no respect for this so-called royal city in his words, as if this kind of place was just sparse and ordinary in his eyes.
Wang Jin frowned slightly imperceptibly, but still spoke: "Don't worry, fellow Daoists, you will know when you get to that place." It is indeed as Daoist friends said, it has become a ruin, and there have been countless monks who have investigated it day and night, but if you want to enter the place mentioned below, without the map just now, even if you open the entire ruins, it is in vain, Daoist friends just rest assured.
