Chapter 8 Xanadu

Between two hills more than 100 zhang high, there is a land about 20 zhang wide, and more than a dozen crooked neck trees are planted in the middle, which just blocks the road.

The dozen or so crooked-necked trees are not surprising from afar, nor are they surprising when they are seen up close, but as soon as they walk in, they suddenly feel like they are in a dream. Shi Nian followed the men to the left and right, and with each step, the crooked neck tree behind him would move autonomously without destroying the soil.

There was a small half-pillar of incense time when he came in, Shi Nian counted it carefully, and it was clear that there were only twelve crooked-necked trees, but he and the others never went out, as if they had been spinning in place, and even their heads were dizzy by the trees, and they couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest.

"This is the gossip maze array under the wind and old cloth, which can hide my ancestral land from the world. ”

The tall man saw Shi Nian looking left and right, and explained with pride on his face: "This Bagua Maze Array has great power, and there are eighty-eight sixty-four changes in it, and there are sixty-four ways to pass through the formation. But it changes all the time, so unless you know all the sixty-four changes in your mind, it will be difficult to get out of it!"

"Little brother, you have to follow us closely, you can't get out if you take a wrong step!" reminded another man.

Shi Nian smacked his lips, not impressed. This Rausch subarray is just twelve crooked neck trees to confuse people, if you really want to lose your way, it's a big deal to cut down the tree?

"Wow!"

The leper dog is obviously more knowledgeable than Shi Nian, and he is honest as soon as he enters the battle. At this time, listening to those few people say how powerful the gossip maze array is, it pouted its little buttocks and jumped directly into Shi Nian's arms.

"If it weren't for the fact that you were a fully automatic lighter, I wouldn't have hugged you ugly thing if I killed you!" Shi Nian looked at the leper puppy in his arms in disgust, and the more he looked at it, the more ugly he felt. The latter whispered a few times, as if to refute, but after Shi Nian pretended to throw it out, he immediately shut up.

followed a few more circles, and finally stepped out of the crooked neck tree.

It's a valley where the scenery changes dramatically, and it's full of color. Green grass is everywhere, flowers are clustered, and a clear river surrounds a few towering ancient trees. The cattle and sheep are leisurely, and the people live in peace, which is really a paradise scene, and the residence of a farmer's family.

"What a paradise!"

Shi Nian sincerely sighed, this is the place he dreams of living, and he has imagined living in such a place with his eldest brother more than once, marrying a wife and giving birth to a lot of babies. Live a quiet life without the hustle and bustle of the city, deceit, and fighting.

"Ahh

A few children who were playing in the valley heard the movement, and when they saw their uncle entering the valley with a strange big brother, they immediately shouted happily, and ran up to look at this bald 'nobleman'.

As soon as the child called out, it immediately attracted a large group of adults. The old and young crowded up, surrounded the three layers and the outer three layers in Shi Nian, and countless eyes circulated on him unscrupulously, looking at Shi Nian's heart for a while.

"Everyone, let's go, take the noble person to Feng Lao first!"

As soon as he spoke, the old and young immediately made a way out of the way, and he took the stone year to the depths of the valley.

Seeing that there seemed to be a little way out, Shi Nian, who was holding a well-behaved leper dog who couldn't be more well-behaved, looked back at the people who were still staring at him, turned his head sideways to the tall man and asked, "What is the name of this big brother?"

"Just call me Lu Wu. Lu Wu grinned, knowing that Shi Nian was uncomfortable being watched by the clansmen, and said: "Little brother, don't be nervous, we rural villagers haven't seen anything in the world, please bear with us." ”

"Brother Lu Wu said seriously. Shi Nian smiled awkwardly and said, "It feels confusing, and there is a feeling of unreality." ”

It's really confusing, a few days ago, he was chased and killed by a tribe as a plague messenger, and now he was actually treated as a noble by the people of this tribe, and the contrast between the two is too great.

Lu Wu smiled slightly, pointed to a swarthy hole in the innermost part of the valley, and said, "Actually, Elder Feng came to you and said that you could calm a catastrophe for our Wind Clan. ”

While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the entrance of the cave. At this time, a person came out of the swarthy cave, with gray hair, dressed in animal skin clothes like Shi Nian. Although this old man is old, he walks like a dragon, his eyes are shining, and his face is not angry and arrogant, as if he has been in a high position for a long time. It doesn't say a word, but it makes people feel like they want to bow and worship.

"Wind Old!"

Seeing that the old man came out of the cave, Lu Wu immediately bowed and bowed and retired, leaving Shi Nian here alone.

"Boy Shi Nian, I've seen the old man!" Shi Nian learned the power of the ancients and saluted the old man.

The old man smiled slightly, and led him to a few large rocks not far from the cave. He sat on one of them, motioned for Shi Nian to sit too, and then said: "Xiaoyou has dragon eyes and tiger eyes, and his head is grand. Although there is a hint of frivolity and casualness in his demeanor, he can't hide the aura of a natural emperor. ”

Hearing Feng Lao's words, Shi Nian raised his eyebrows, touched his bare head and said, "Have there been bald emperors since ancient times?"

He thought that the reason why Feng Lao said that he had the air of an emperor was just a polite remark, so he also made a joke that was not a joke. Who wants to be old but said seriously: "Hair will grow after all, and the emperor's spirit will become stronger and stronger as you grow!"

"Is it possible that the old gentleman can look at the face?" Shi Nian tilted his head and asked, always feeling that this style was unusual, obviously with an extraordinary temperament, but he was wearing animal skin clothes. You know, even those ordinary people are dressed in coarse cloth!

Feng Lao smiled mysteriously and said, "I can't talk about it, I know a little bit about it." For example, you are young and in the prime of life, taught by superiors, and nourished by divine objects. ”

Shi Nian had already opened his mouth wide and was so shocked that he couldn't speak. After a long time, he put away the frivolity he deliberately showed, and said in a low voice: "The old gentleman is really a master in the world, the kid has offended a lot before, and he also asks Haihan." ”

From the mouth of the medicine spirit, he learned that this world is a god who has the means to reach the sky. Even if they are immortals, they must also have the magical power to calculate people's past, and Feng Lao is obviously this kind of supernatural power.

Thinking of this, he got down from the stone seat, knelt down with a puff, and said to Feng Lao: "Please also ask the old gentleman to tell me where my eldest brother is!"

Feng Lao sighed lightly, raised his hand to help Shi Nian up, and said: "Old decay is not omnipotent, but there are only slight means to guard the Valley of Ten Thousand Corpses here." ”

Without waiting for Shi Nian's words, the old man continued: "Your two brothers inadvertently entered the forbidden land of the Valley of Ten Thousand Corpses, and the plague demon in the valley escaped from the valley with the help of your eldest brother. The heavens and the earth are big, and even if the old decay has twice as many methods, how can they gain insight into their specific hiding places?"

"The place full of corpses and bones is called the Valley of Ten Thousand Corpses, and the black-robed man in it is the plague demon?" Shi Nian exclaimed, the name 'plague demon' doesn't sound like a good person, he and his eldest brother were chased and killed by people from a tribe as a plague demon messenger, and it turned out that he really had something to do with the plague demon.

Feng Lao nodded and said, "That plague demon has been suppressed for three hundred years, and it would have been possible to cut off all of his magic and evil skills in a few decades, but I never thought that because of the unintentional intrusion of the two of you, he would be able to get out." As soon as the plague comes out, I am afraid that there will be another catastrophe in this earthly land in the future. ”

Hearing Feng Lao's words, Shi Nian smiled bitterly and said, "This...... I'm so embarrassed......"

At that time, the two brothers were also desperate, so they broke into the Valley of Ten Thousand Corpses. Originally, normal people, even if they were good cultivators, would not be able to stand the yin and poisonous miasma, but they had already cultivated a body that was invincible to all poisons in the 21st century, and finally let the plague demon take advantage of the loophole and escape.

"It's no wonder that you, you can only say that there is such a catastrophe in the world. Feng Lao sighed, although he said so, he felt a little pity in his heart after all.

The two were silent for a while, and Shi Nian suddenly remembered that there were still many viruses on his body, and immediately said: "Old Feng, I can't stay here for long, otherwise I'm afraid of bringing epidemics here!"

"It's okay!" Feng Lao waved his hand, pointed at the center of Shi Nian's eyebrows, and then withdrew his hand and said: "You have been washed by pure yang holy water, and your whole body is already pure and flawless, and it will not be stained with dirt or evil poison in the future. ”

"It turns out that the Pure Yang Divine Body is so wild and domineering, ** blowing up the sky!" Shi Nian muttered.

Feng Lao smiled, glanced at the leper dog who shrank in Shi Nian's arms as if he was dead, and then pointed to the small wooden house next to him, and said: "You can stay here first, let go of the shackles in your heart, study the Red Flame Immortal Method well, if you don't understand anything, you can find the old man!"

As the words fell, he got up and walked towards the swarthy cave.

Shi Nian smacked his lips and turned around and walked towards the cabin, which was extremely simple in furnishings, except for a simple wooden bed that could not be more simple. But in any case, it is better to have a bed than to sleep in the wilderness.

"Cultivate! Cultivate!"

Remembering that the eldest brother didn't know where he was, Shi Nian immediately jumped on the bed, sat down cross-legged and began to refine the spirit according to the method taught by the medicine spirit. Every time he started cultivating, his physical body became crystal clear, like crystal, and this time was no exception.

Shi Nian fell into cultivation, and the leper dog cub was not idle. The thief glanced out of the house, as if he was afraid of something, and immediately retracted his head, and then lay down in a strange position. If you look closely, you can see that there is a slight white air flow circulating between its nose.

At dusk, Shi Nian was woken up by hunger again. He withdrew from the cultivation state, and found that the leper dog had gone out at some point, and he went out of the house with his grumbling belly, just in time to see a large group of people from the Wind Clan roasting around the bonfire.

"Little Shi Gongzi, it's just in time for dinner, come over quickly!" Seeing Shi Nian coming out, Lu Wu immediately tore off a large piece of meat from the fire rack and brought it to him.

"No, no, no!"

Shi Nian waved his hand again and again, touched his bald head and said with a sneer: "All of you are not enough for me to eat, I should go to the valley to hunt some game, just so I can bring you some back." ”

Lu Wu and the others wanted to say that they and the others could be roasted again, but at this time, Feng Lao walked out of the hole, followed by the leper dog.

Feng Lao directly threw a stone talisman to Shi Nian and said, "You don't know the method of entering and exiting the Lost Trace Array, use it to enter and exit freely." After a pause, he pointed to the east and said: "There is an ancient forest thirty miles away in the east, and there are many demon beasts in it that can quench your hunger, but you can't go deeper than ten miles, and the fierce beasts inside are not something you can resist." ”
