Chapter 9 Into the Valley

Ye Hao fell to the ground, and the white light around his body disappeared instantly.

He felt the concern of his companions, and his heart was full of emotion.

Ye Hao's mood at this time was a little complicated, some were shocked, some were lost, and even had many doubts. However, he didn't care so much at this time, he was just bent on finding the stone monkey.

He walked up to everyone, smiled faintly, and said softly, "I'm fine." Then he turned his head to look at the psychic tree.

"Everything is magical, and this ancient tree is more than just a tree......

"I don't know how many years it has survived in this heaven and earth, maybe thousands of years, maybe tens of thousands of years, in short, it is not just a tree, but like an old man who has imprinted the vast history and the joys and sorrows of heaven and earth. Speaking of this, Ye Hao bowed down and saluted the big tree: "Ye Hao, thank you for the guidance of the ancient tree seniors." ”

Several other people were surprised when they looked at Ye Hao's actions, but when Ye Hao bowed down to salute, the ancient tree in front of him responded with a buzzing sound, and a few people felt the psychic place of this ancient tree, and they immediately didn't dare to make a second time, according to Ye Hao's appearance, they each bowed down to salute.

At this time, Ye Hao's mind clearly showed a map of directions, he sorted out his thoughts, and then pointed to a dense forest on the right side of the ancient tree and said, "The valley is in this direction, let's go." ”

With the exact direction, coupled with the fact that the two brothers Lin Long and Lin Hu opened the way in front of their heads, it didn't take long to really find that valley.

The little fat man Lin Qingwa immediately sighed and sighed when she saw the beautiful scenery under the valley, Lin Wanqing was also obsessed with the scenery of this valley, Lin Long and Lin Hu brothers were relatively calm, just staring intently at the bottom of the valley.

Only Lin Douzi is extremely detached, the beautiful scenery in front of him has no power at all, and the only thing that can attract him is the string of sugar gourds that have been licked countless times in his hand, and of course, he can't forget to wipe a handful of green snot in the interval.

Ye Hao came to the edge of the cliff that was as smooth as jade, pointed to his feet and said: "Last night, the stone monkey fell from this place...... Time seemed to stand still, Ye Hao's thoughts were flying, and the scenes of last night surged out of his mind again.

After a pause, Ye Hao sighed lightly and said: "I have carefully checked the terrain and landforms this morning, this valley is very smooth and difficult to climb, but there are many mountain vines not far from the south side, very thick and strong, the length can reach the bottom of the valley, I think we can follow those mountain vines to the bottom of the valley, and then go separately to find the stone monkeys, what do you think?"

Lin Hu spoke first: "Don't worry, Boss Ye, our brother has been doing this since he was a child, and the mountains he has climbed are not one thousand but eight hundred, which is a piece of cake for our brothers." ”

Lin Long also nodded and said, "No problem." ”

Then everyone's eyes fell on Lin Qingwa's body, the little fat man looked at a few people with inquiring eyes, and suddenly felt annoyed, he fluttered his head: "What do you look at me, do you think that I can't climb down, fat man? Don't worry, this small valley is still difficult for me." The little fat man looked full of confidence.

Lin Hu said with a smile: "Fat toad, why don't we compete to see who goes to the bottom first, and the loser catches a hundred pheasants for the winner." ”

"This ......" Lin Qingwa's face immediately became unnatural.

"Why, don't you dare, hahahaha", Lin Hu laughed.

"Who said I wouldn't dare, just bet, but this hundred is just not too much, let's bet ten, ten, how about ......it" While speaking, Lin Qingwa also stretched out two chubby hands and gestured to a ten.

The fat man's posture is as funny as it gets, and several people laughed loudly, and even Ye Hao's complicated and unspeakable mood at the moment was diluted a lot by the fat man.

"Ten is ten, let's start now. With that, Lin Hu pulled his sleeves and prepared to go down.

"Wait first", Ye Hao took out the cloth prepared in advance from his clothes, and said: "The waterfall on the opposite side is a bit mysterious, the sound of the water hitting the waterhole below can make people hallucinate and have a splitting headache, yesterday the stone monkey fell to the bottom because he couldn't bear the severe pain, although I don't know what the reason, the sound during the day is much quieter than at night, but just in case, everyone still use the cloth to plug the ears first." "Then hand you the strips of cloth.

They each plugged their ears with strips of cloth and began to follow the vines to the bottom of the valley.

The Lin Long and Lin Hu brothers are the sons of the most outstanding hunters in Linjia Village, and this kind of climbing high and low is really familiar to them, and the two of them slid to the bottom of the valley along the mountain vine after a while. The little fat man Lin Qingwa did not show weakness, almost only a few seconds later than Lin Hu landed, and the fat body and protruding belly did not affect his movements at all, making people really can't believe that this is a fat man with such a bloated figure can do it.

Lin Wanqing is a girl, but she is not the kind of home-based lady who only knows needlework.

There is not much difference between boys and girls among the children in Linjia Village, they are all tempered by adults from an early age, so climbing high and jumping far away is also common for her, her feet are hooked on the mountain vines, her arms are lightly placed, and her posture is more graceful than others.

Ye Hao watched that several people had reached the bottom of the valley safely, and was about to go down the valley, but suddenly heard a cry of "wow", which startled Ye Hao.

When he looked back, it turned out that Lin Douzi was crying regardless of his image, crying while saying: "You all go down, just leave Douzi on top, it's too unfair, woo woo......"

Ye Hao was immediately happy when he heard it: "Douzi, it's not that Brother Hao won't take you down, it's really because there are many unknown dangers down there, and you are still too young, so I can't let you follow us on an adventure." ”

Lin Douzi didn't listen to it at all, and continued to be sad: "You think the beans are small, and you don't pay attention to the beans at all, although the beans are small, they are not useless, woo woo......"

Ye Hao's head was big when he heard this, his eyes rolled and he hurriedly said: "Of course the beans are useful, how can they be useless, in fact, Brother Hao left you on the top to hand over the most important task to you, think about it, several of us have gone down, if something happens, or if you can't come up, you have to go and report to the people in the village, so that they can save us, otherwise, wouldn't it be called the sky is not working, and the earth should not be called, so your task is very important." ”

"Really?" Hearing this, Lin Douzi stopped crying, wiped something with his sleeve that he didn't know if it was tears or snot, and nodded: "Okay, then I will accept the important task given to me by Brother Hao, take a good look at you, and if there is something, I must go and tell my father immediately." ”

"Well, that's good. Ye Hao touched Lin Douzi's head, then turned around and went down to the valley.

With Ye Hao's agility and proficiency in mountain climbing, it didn't take long for him to slide down the mountain vine to the bottom of the valley.

As soon as his feet hit the ground, he saw the fat man with a sad face feeling sorry for the ten pheasants who had lost, and he was still chanting words in his mouth, and he didn't know what he was complaining about.

Lin Wanqing opened a pair of smart and agile eyes, constantly looking around at the surrounding environment. The Lin Long and Lin Hu brothers were doing what Orion did most often, tying red threads around them and sprinkling rice flour.

Scattering rice flour is a symbolic meaning when the hunters are out hunting, which means that those mountain spirits and ghosts and the like will eat, and when they are full, they will no longer come to harass them, and the red line means to circle their territory and prevent conflicts with others. The brothers' method of tying the red line is different, it is an ancestral method in the family, which is more complicated and time-consuming, and the two brothers are busy with the division of labor at the moment.

These are some of the things that the hunters of Linjia Village have to do before entering the mountain, and they are very particular, one is to ensure their own safety, and the other is to have peace of mind......

As the son of Orion, of course, he also inherited such a tradition.

After that, the two brothers piled up some large stones in the center, and when everything was ready, Lin Hu patted the dust on his clothes and said, "Brothers, you can go now." ”

Ye Hao nodded, looked ahead, and suddenly became apprehensive.

I don't know if I can find the stone monkey, I don't know if the stone monkey is still alive, Ye Hao suddenly felt a little heavy, and there seemed to be a slight ominous feeling...... He took a deep breath, calmed down his mood, and then said, "Let's go, let's go find the stone monkey." ”

At the same time, a burst of red mist suddenly rolled up above the valley for no apparent reason, enveloping the entire valley top into a blood-red world...... And the people in the valley didn't notice it at all.

A group of several people looked back and forth around the place where the stone monkey fell last night, but they never found the stone monkey whose life and death were unknown, Ye Hao's heart gradually fell into the abyss, and his brows were furrowed without saying a word.

Lin Wanqing, who was beside her, seemed to see Ye Hao's irritability, and comforted: "Brother Hao, don't be sad, maybe the stone monkey is fine, and he will run back to Shijia Village by himself." ”

Ye Hao shook his head: "Sister Wanqing, I know that you are comforting me, but you won't believe it yourself...... If you fall down from such a high place, you can still go back to Shijia Village by yourself? Even if you don't fall to your death on the spot, half of the three souls and seven spirits are gone...... I just wondered why we couldn't even find a piece of his clothes. ”

Lin Wanqing lowered her head and was speechless for a while.

The valley is deserted, and there is hardly any sound to be heard except for the sound of the breathtaking waterfall crashing into the waterhole not far away. It should be a damp valley floor, but it doesn't give people the feeling of being wet and wet. Several people felt a little strange in their hearts.

Lin Qingwa couldn't hold back at first, and muttered: "What kind of ghost place is this where birds don't, there is not even a pheasant, Xiaohuzi, let's say okay first, if I find a pheasant here for a while, I will catch it directly for you, don't recognize it, as for whether you take it back or not, then I don't care." ”

Lin Hu Yile: "No problem, as long as you catch it, whether it's given to me now or back, I will admit it." ”

"Interesting," Lin Qingwa laughed, then changed the topic, and said: "It's strange to say, that guy from the stone monkey fell from above, how could there be a bone, how could there be nothing, wouldn't it be that it fell into powder and was blown away by the wind." As he spoke, he put his hand to his mouth and made a blowing motion.

But before the words fell, I saw the unkind eyes of several other people on him, and suddenly stopped making a sound of interest.

A few people walked along the edge of the cliff at the bottom of the valley until they reached a place not far from the deep pool in the valley. Look up and you can see the spectacular scene of the pearl waterfall pouring down like the Milky Way in the nine heavens, the water enters the surface of the pool, stirring up thousands of waves, scattered and elegant.

Obviously, the water in this pool is very deep, and such a large column of water poured into the pool and could not see the water waves swinging to both sides, and completely drilled into the bottom of the pool, presumably the bottom of the pool must be turbulent.

Lin Long suddenly stopped, sniffed with his nose, and suddenly said with a solemn face: "Something is wrong." ”

Lin Hu received: "It's wrong, there is no smell of living things here." There are no birds in the trees, no fish in the water, no pheasants or wild wolves...... It's so strange, everyone should be more careful. ”

Ye Hao also felt strange and said to everyone: "My mother said that there are many strange places in this valley, all things are spiritual, and many things may exceed our imagination......"

"What are you afraid of, you are here, can there still be mountain ghosts? As soon as the fat man finished speaking, Lin Wanqing beside him shuddered in his head. "Dead fatty, can you say something nice, don't always mention what the hell, it's scary. ”

"Oh, I'm just telling the truth. The fat man covered his head and looked wronged.

Ye Hao said: "To tell the truth, today I brought everyone here, and asked everyone to accompany me to find the stone monkey is a little too reckless, we have never been to this valley, I don't know how many dangers are hidden in this valley bottom and pool, I shouldn't let everyone come to the adventure with me......"

"Brother Hao, what are you talking about, have you forgotten, we have all grown up together since childhood, and of course your business is our business. Lin Wanqing said.

"Boss Ye, you just don't treat our brothers as brothers. Lin Hu also said.

Ye Hao hurriedly said: "How come, if I didn't treat you as my good brothers, how could I ask you for help in the first place, I'm just afraid that something bad will affect everyone, because I have some bad feelings now." ”

"If you come, you will be safe. Lin Long said in a deep voice.

"That's right, Boss Ye, I don't usually hear other people's words, even if my father says it, I also turn a blind eye, but I only listen to you in this life, when I was a child, I accidentally fell into the river and almost drowned, but you forced me to pull me back from the ghost gate, since that time, I have already made up my mind, as long as it is Boss Ye in this life, I will definitely do it, let me go up the knife mountain and go down the sea of fire will not fart more." Lin Qingwa patted her chest as she spoke, looking righteous and awe-inspiring.

Lin Wanqing chuckled: "This is like a man, I didn't expect our fat toad to have such a manly side." ”

Hearing Lin Wanqing's praise, Lin Qingwa's heroic righteousness immediately disappeared without a trace, and she returned to her simple flattery, scratching the back of her head, as if she was a little embarrassed "hehe" and smirked.

Seeing the little fat man's expression, everyone immediately laughed, and the uneasy mood seemed to have weakened a lot.

Ye Hao smiled and said: "Everyone is a good brother, since this is the case, I won't say anything outside, then we will continue to look for the stone monkey, no matter whether the stone monkey is dead or alive, as long as we find him, we will leave here immediately." ”

"Okay," the men said in unison.
