Chapter 157: The Gatekeeper
Shen Hanzhu rode his horse and galloped wildly, suddenly feeling a sharp increase in coldness, thinking that Tu Feng really didn't lie to himself. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
After running out for a while, suddenly a strong wind blew, whirring, and I couldn't help but shiver when I was busy taking a breath of true air. So I hurriedly put on the cotton clothes, and suddenly felt a lot warmer.
Running further, the sky seemed to be against him, and it rained and snowed, hitting his face, and it hurt faintly.
The horse suddenly neighed, and Shen Hanzhu found that there was no way ahead.
Shen Hanzhu then jumped off the horse, lit up the fire fold, and carefully inspected the terrain in front of him. But I saw that the mountain peaks in front of me were opposite, the snow had not melted, the mountains were steep, and the forests were forested.
Could this be the legendary "Valley of the Dead"?
Shen Hanzhu hugged the horse's neck and said: "Horse, I entered the valley this time, and I don't know if I can still get out, thank you for accompanying me all the way, you can find your own life." β
After saying that, he slapped the horse's buttocks.
The horse's front hooves were raised, and he neighed, and refused to go away.
Seeing this, Shen Hanzhu said again: "You horse is actually human, but I have important things to do, and I can't live with you anymore, I hope you can have a good creation." After saying that, he stroked the horse's back, jumped down, and jumped down.
A rise and fall has reached the bottom. But I saw that the strange peaks on the side of the valley were craggy, splitting the ground and skyscraping, the cliffs were strange and rocky, and they were majestic and magical. There is a huge stone standing at the bottom of the valley, and a skeleton is carved on the stone surface, and there are three big characters written on the side of the skeleton: Valley of the Dead!
Shen Hanzhu looked carefully, but he couldn't find the entrance to the valley. He scratched his scalp, anxious.
At that moment, a white ball of snow flew straight over. He quickly turned sideways and dodged. The ball of snow hit the boulder, and the snow flew.
Before he could gain a firm foothold, three more snow balls came towards him. The strength is more than the same. Shen Hanzhu hurriedly struck out three palms and smashed the three snow balls.
Shen Hanzhu waited for a while, and saw that there was no movement, so he hugged his fists and said, "Dare to ask who is here?"
No one answered, but the echo kept coming.
Shen Hanzhu became more and more anxious in his heart, thinking that it was not a way to wait here, but suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, so he deliberately shouted loudly: "What 'Valley of the Dead' and 'Valley of the Living', I will destroy this boulder first!" After speaking, he opened his stance and struck at the boulder.
Sure enough, an old voice sounded: "The afterlife is rampant!"
Shen Hanzhu hurriedly withdrew his hand, and couldn't help but be happy in his heart: this trick really worked.
Immediately in front of him appeared an old man with gray hair. The old man was dressed in a white robe, and his face was majestic.
Shen Hanzhu thought that this person was provoked by me, and he wanted to beg him to take him into the valley, so he hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "Junior Shen Hanzhu has seen the old-timers, dare to ask the old-timers what to call them?"
The white-haired old man stroked his white beard and said, "Old man gatekeeper, boy, did you break into this place by mistake or did you come here on purpose?"
Shen Hanzhu said: "The younger generation came here. β
The white-haired old man actually blurted out and scolded: "Fart!" The 'Valley of the Dead' is afraid of everyone, and they can't avoid it, and they still admire it, I'm phew!"
Shen Hanzhu secretly complained in his heart, this old man turned out to be an extremely eccentric person, how should he deal with it?
rolled his eyes, and said boldly: "According to what you say, the matter of guarding the door is boring, and no one wants to do it, and you still name the gatekeeper, I am even more so!"
When the gatekeeper heard this, he became angry, put his hands on his waist, and said, "You, you, you kid, have a long soul, right? Dare to talk to the old man like this, I'm angry, I'm angry!" After speaking, he blew hard, and the long white beard was blown by him.
Shen Hanzhu snickered in his heart and said, "Hey, old man who guards the door, in fact, I tell you that guarding the door is very particular." β
The gatekeeper said: "How can you pay attention to the law?"
Shen Hanzhu also followed his example, supported his waist with one hand, and said, "Want to hear?"
The gatekeeper said, "I want to hear it!"
Shen Hanzhu said: "If you take me into the valley, I'll tell you." β
The gatekeeper said, "Tell me, and I'll take you into the valley." β
Shen Hanzhu laughed and said, "Okay, a word is a certainty!"
The gatekeeper was stunned for a moment and said, "Hey, what did I just say?"
Shen Hanzhu said loudly: "You say I'll tell you, and you'll take me into the valley." β
The gatekeeper said: "You, you, you, okay, you say it first." β
Shen Hanzhu said: "Guarding the door, what you pay attention to is a mentality. β
The gatekeeper actually said "um" and said, "This makes sense. β
Shen Hanzhu shook his head and said, "Yes, yes, I never say unreasonable things." β
The gatekeeper said, "You kid is a little interesting, go on." β
Shen Hanzhu said: "This mentality is the result of self-cultivation. β
The goalkeeper tilted his ear to the side, looking like he was listening very carefully.
Shen Hanzhu continued: "For example, it's lonely to guard the door, isn't it? After all, there are not many people who can meet me who are so interesting. β
The gatekeeper actually agreed with his words and said, "Yes, yes, you continue." β
Shen Hanzhu said: "So, you usually have to tell yourself that the old man is not guarding the door, but lonely!"
The gatekeeper was about to jump up, clapped his hands and said, "Hey, you're really my bosom friend!"
Shen Hanzhu is also happy in his heart, this old man is still childlike, a childlike person, naturally his heart is not too bad, but he can make a friend. So he said, "Hey, old man of the gatekeeper, I'm done, can you take me into the valley?"
The gatekeeper was suddenly stunned, and actually shook his hand and said, "No, no, no." β
Shen Hanzhu pretended to be angry and said, "I promised just now, why did I regret it all of a sudden." People who don't talk are sure to wet the bed when they sleep at night. β
Unexpectedly, the gatekeeper covered his body with both hands and said, "Hey, how do you know that I wet the bed last night?"
Shen Hanzhu finally couldn't help laughing with a "poof".
When the gatekeeper saw Shen Hanzhu making fun of him, he immediately turned his face and said, "You kid is still making fun of me, see if I don't clean you up!"
After speaking, he stretched out a palm and grabbed Shen Hanzhu.
Although the gatekeeper's words are naΓ―ve, his martial arts are first-class, and the palm is patted over, and the palm wind is strong, and the tiger is vigorous. Shen Hanzhu was also shocked in his heart, and hurriedly parried seriously.
The gatekeeper didn't seem to expect that Shen Hanzhu was so young that he was extraordinary, and after three moves, he jumped out of the circle and said, "Wait a minute." β
Shen Hanzhu smiled and said, "What's the matter, have you fought enough?"
The gatekeeper said, "I didn't fight enough." β
Shen Hanzhu said: "Then why did it stop? Are you afraid?"
When the gatekeeper heard this, he shouted, "When did my gatekeeper be afraid of people!"
After speaking, he slapped Shen Hanzhu with another palm. Shen Hanzhu dealt with it carefully, and thought: I have fun with you, you will definitely take me into the valley. But because of a slight distraction, he was almost hit by the goalkeeper with a palm. I don't dare to slack off at the moment, even if it is so, I am also stunned in my heart: this "Valley of the Dead" is really a dangerous zone, even an old man guarding the door is so powerful, are the people in it even more terrifying?
The two wrestled together, fist-to-fist, and exchanged a few more rounds.
At this moment, a bell rang from the valley.
When the gatekeeper heard the bell, he jumped out of the circle and said, "Wait a minute." β
Shen Hanzhu said: "What's wrong?
The gatekeeper said: "Phew, I'm not afraid of you, a stinky hairy child." β
Shen Hanzhu said: "It's because you're old, and your physical strength is not good, right?"
The gatekeeper said, "Go, go, old man, I didn't ring because I heard the bell." β
Shen Hanzhu hurriedly asked, "Is there something going on in the valley?"
The gatekeeper said: "How can you kid guess everything? This is the valley lord who summoned everyone to gather urgently. β
Shen Hanzhu said puzzledly: "The third watch also gathers in the middle of the night?
The gatekeeper's face changed suddenly, and he asked coldly, "Who the hell are you kid?"
Shen Hanzhu didn't know which sentence was wrong, and his heart was also tight, and said, "I'm just a stinky kid, I'm nothing." β
The gatekeeper snorted and said, "You kid drink the northwest wind here, I won't accompany you, old man." With that, he floated into the valley.
Shen Hanzhu wanted to follow, but where the old man entered, it seemed that an invisible barrier had suddenly been set up, and he couldn't get in.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Shen Hanzhu shouted loudly.
Only echoes!
