Broken Soul Valley, a hundred years ago, it was not called Broken Soul Valley, and the reason why it was later changed to Broken Soul Valley was because there was a big war here back then, a war between the Great Song Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom. The two countries each invested more than hundreds of thousands of troops here at that time, when the Jin soldiers invaded the border of the Great Song Dynasty, they were defeated by the Great Song Dynasty and driven to the Valley of the Broken Soul, and the Jin soldiers who had no way to retreat fought the trapped beasts, and finally the Great Song Dynasty wiped out all the Jin soldiers, so that the Jin soldiers were unable to invade the east again within a few decades, but the Great Song side also suffered heavy losses and was unable to counterattack back.

As a result, the number of dead in the Valley of Broken Souls is as high as hundreds of thousands, and it is said that every full moon night, countless remnant souls will be seen crying, and people say that this is the soldiers of the two countries who died in battle, and miss their relatives in their hometown when the moon is full. There is also a poem that says: Millions of heroes competed for battle, and the head was buried in a deep valley with blood. The soul is broken and the valley is no return, and every full moon mourns and misses your relatives!

Maybe there is really a ghost theory, because since that battle, the grass and trees within a radius of ten miles of the Valley of Broken Souls have withered and died within half a year, and even the stones and land in the Valley of Broken Souls have taken on a dark red color. And for a hundred years, few people have set foot here, because legend has it that if someone enters, they will be devoured by the souls of the heroes who died in battle.

Ye Xiao and the others set out from the town early, traveled all the way west for nearly a hundred miles, and approached ten miles away from the Valley of Broken Souls at noon, but the strange thing was that when they arrived here, no matter how they drove them, the horses refused to move forward a single step, and even let out a wail.

This phenomenon suddenly made everyone's mood heavy. The legend of the Valley of Broken Souls has been told to everyone. However, including Hua Manlou, he never thought that such a situation would occur.

"Horses are extremely spiritual animals, and they are rumored to be able to see or perceive things that we humans can't see and perceive, is this Broken Soul Valley really as there are ghosts and monsters as legendary?" Duan Yu is a believer in Buddhism, and he couldn't help but say at this time that the people present believed in the ghosts the most.

When he said this, Zhong Ling and Ah Zi, the two youngest girls, couldn't help but scream, and Zhong Ling even said, "Duan...... Brother Duan Yu, what you said is true? Is there really a ghost here?"

In addition to Zhong Ling and Ah Zi's fierce reactions, Mu Wanqing and Mei Lan, Zhuju and the four goddesses were a little unnatural, obviously they were also a little uneasy.

Only Hua Manlou remained calm and said, "How can there be ghosts in this world? ”

"Yes, let's not talk about whether there are ghosts in the world, even if it is noon, ghosts do not dare to haunt. Ye Xiao then said.

And Duan Yu was embarrassed and said: "Sister Ling, Sister Ah Zi, I'm talking nonsense, you don't have to be afraid." ”

Zhong Ling suddenly said unhappily: "Brother Duan Yu, you are too bad, deliberately scaring us." ”

"Hey, hey......" Duan Yu could only laugh dryly.

Ye Xiao asked Hua Manlou and said, "Sister Hua, now that Ma Er doesn't want to move forward for some reason, what should we do?"

Hua Manlou said: "Do you see if there is a desolation ahead, without any grass and trees?"

Ye Xiao looked at it, just as Hua Manlou said, at this time, there was a barren front of him, not to mention the grass and trees, not even a little green.

"Yes, there is not the slightest grass ahead. Ye Xiao said.

Hua Manlou nodded slightly, and said: "That's right, according to the rumors, there is not a single grass within the strength of the Broken Soul Valley, and now it seems that we should be only ten miles away from the Broken Soul Valley, since the horses can't move forward, then let's walk in directly." In any case, we have all arrived here, and it is impossible to say that it has not been fruitless. ”

"Well, let's walk then. Ye Xiao said and took the lead in turning over and dismounting.

Zhong Ling hesitated for a moment and asked, "Brother Ye, are there really no ghosts here?" It was obvious that Duan Yu said that, although she had already explained, she inevitably had some shadows in her heart, after all, she was a girl, and she was not very old.

Ye Xiao smiled bitterly: "Sister Zhong Ling, don't worry, there will be no ghosts in this world." After a pause, seeing that Ah Zi and Zhong Ling seemed to have some scruples, he continued: "Otherwise, you and Ah Zi, well, and Miss Mu stay here, first, to help us take care of the horses, and secondly, we can also avoid worrying in our hearts, I and Sister Hua, the third brother and others will go in, if there is nothing to do, we will rush back as soon as possible." ”

As soon as his words fell, Mu Wanqing, who had barely spoken along the way, immediately said coldly: "I'm not afraid, why do you want to stay, you have to leave them to stay by themselves." ”

"This ......" Ye Xiao was suddenly a little embarrassed, he originally hoped that Mu Wanqing would stay to protect Ah Zi and Zhong Ling from accidents, after all, Ah Zi and Zhong Ling's martial arts are really poor, even if Zhong Ling has now learned the Three Yin Centipede Hand he taught, it is still not good.

Ah Zi said: "I also want to go in, anyway, no matter what, I have to follow...... Follow Sister Flower. ”

And Zhong Ling also continued: "Well, I don't want to stay alone, it's even more terrifying." ”

Hua Manlou said: "In that case, let's go in together, anyway, there are so many of us, even if there is really something, we can take care of each other." ”

Seeing this situation, Ye Xiao said: "In this case, then my third brother and I will go and hide the horses, and you will wait for us here." With that, he and Duan Yu took the horses into the forest next to them, found a secret place, and tied the horses well.

After that, everyone walked into the desolate land, Zhong Ling and Ah Zi were still scared after all, the two of them followed Ye Xiao closely like left and right protectors, after all, Ye Xiao was not only a man present, but also obviously more able to give the two women a sense of security than Duan Yu.

Seeing that everyone's mood seemed to be relatively low, Ye Xiao told everyone some jokes on the earth, so that the atmosphere suddenly eased a lot, not only did she not have the original depression, but even the crisp laughter of the girls came out from time to time, even Mu Wanqing, an ice beauty, was amused by jokes that Ye Xiao had never heard in her mouth from time to time, of course, she was much more subtle, and even sometimes she could hold back.

In this way, everyone went all the way, and the distance of ten miles was not far, and it took half an hour to complete.

When everyone saw the Valley of Broken Souls, the atmosphere that had eased a lot because of Ye Xiao's jokes solidified again for a while. Originally, before they saw the Valley of Broken Souls, everyone didn't think that there would really be blood-colored stones and land in it as rumored, but when they saw everything in front of them with their own eyes, they had to believe the rumors, and even all this in front of them was even worse than the rumors, and the entire Valley of Broken Souls was almost a dark red color, just the color of the blood after it was coagulated, which made people feel creepy.

At this time, except for Hua Manlou, including Ye Xiao, there was no change in color, and it seemed that he sensed that the atmosphere was wrong, Hua Manlou asked, "What's wrong?"

"Little ...... Miss, this Broken Soul Valley is serious...... It's as rumored to be. The maid Aomei said.

When Hua Manlou heard this, he was puzzled: "So what, since there are already rumors, what are you surprised about?"

"But ......" Before Ao Mei finished speaking, Ye Xiao said directly: "Sister Hua, do you know, this Broken Soul Valley is still more than the rumors, almost the entire valley is dark red and bloody. ”

"This ......" Hua Manlou was stunned.

At this moment, Ah Zi suddenly screamed. Everyone looked over, only to see Ah Zi trembling slightly and pointing to a stone tablet at the mouth of the valley.

But I saw that the stele jumped half a meter high, and the blood-colored characters were written on it: Broken Soul Valley. These three words are really like blood as ink, and even everyone has the illusion of smelling blood.

"There's another one over there!" Duan Yu said, pointing to the other side of the valley mouth, only to see that there was also a stone tablet standing here, with big blood-colored characters written on it: trespasser, die!

Such a scene made the air freeze, and Ah Zi and Zhong Ling were almost hanging on Ye Xiao's body, even Mu Wanqing and Duan Yu couldn't help but lean over, and Mei Lan Zhuju was also tightly protected by Hua Manlou's side.

"Ye Xiao, what have you found?" Hua Manlou asked.

Ye Xiao described the words on the two stone tablets to Hua Manlou, and after listening, Hua Manlou groaned for a while and said, "There must be someone in the valley!"

"......Huh? How is it possible? This stone tablet clearly reads 'Death to trespassers', and even if there are people, they are probably dead, right? Woo...... Brother Ye and Sister Hua, let's go. Zhong Ling seemed to be really frightened, and his voice changed a little.

Ye Xiao hurriedly comforted her and said, "Sister Zhong Ling, don't be afraid, there are so many of us, and I think what Sister Hua said is right, there must be someone here." These two stone tablets are just used by the people inside to pretend to be gods and ghosts, in a vain attempt to scare people away. ”

Hua Manlou agreed: "Yes, this kind of inferior method of 'three hundred taels of silver here' is just to scare those who have no experience in the rivers and lakes." After a pause, he continued: "Ye Xiao, I'm afraid it's really as you said, the Blood Knife Gate is hidden here. ”

"In that case, let's go inside. Ye Xiao said.

"Ah, I...... I don't want to go in, woo woo......" Zhong Ling was really frightened.

Ye Xiao said helplessly: "Sister Zhong Ling, don't worry, I will protect you, it will be fine." ”

Duan Yu and Hua Manlou also comforted one after another, at this time, everyone naturally would not propose anything to let Zhong Ling stay outside, if this is the case, this is much more dangerous than going in.

Under the appeasement of everyone, Zhong Ling finally stabilized.

Ye Xiao said: "Let's get closer, lean together, if the Blood Knife Gate is really here, I'm afraid there will be some hidden weapons inside, so everyone must be careful." ”

After speaking, Ye Xiao should be the first to walk in front, while the others followed, Duan Yu was in charge of the back of the palace, Mei Lan Zhuju and the four daughters were in charge of the left and right, and Hua Manlou was in the center to control the overall situation.
