Duan Xing had already been in a coma when he came to the "Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations" last time, and he couldn't remember the way. When he came out, he was blindfolded again, and then he sat directly in the carriage, and when he opened his eyes again, he was at the foot of Wuliang Mountain. This time, with Zhong Ling all the way, he found that the distance between the "Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations" and the "Sword Lake Palace" was not far away, and he lived in a valley on the west bank of the Lancang River. But the terrain is very secret, and there is a mechanism code at the entrance, if it weren't for Zhong Ling always leading the way, it would be difficult for him to enter the valley. Duan Xing had already reached the ability to never forget, and followed Zhong Ling to turn east and west, bending south and north, and memorized all the roads and codes into the valley.

When he arrived at the mouth of the valley of the "Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations" where he lived, Duan Xing saw that the first row of nine large pine trees on the left was juxtaposed. Zhong Ling was familiar with the road, and took a detour from behind the fourth big pine tree on the right, and pushed away the long grass, and a hole appeared in the tree. Duan Xing compared the previous "Sword Lake Palace" with here, and couldn't help but think in his heart: "The location of this 'Ten Thousand Tribulation Valley' is really hidden, much more than the 'Sword Lake Palace', if the general rudder of the 'Smoke and Rain Building' is set up here, ordinary people will never think of entering the valley from a big pine tree." ”

Duan Xing followed Zhong Ling into the tree hole, and saw Zhong Ling pushing away the dry grass with his left hand, lifting a large iron ring with force, and the wooden board was lifted, and there was a stone step below. As Zhong Ling walked along the stone level Xiangxia, there was a strong man behind him holding the wooden board with both hands and putting it back in place, and after more than 30 steps, the stone step turned right, and after a few zhang, it turned and xiangshang, and went up more than 30 steps, and came to the flat ground. Duan Xing couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart: "I remember that I seemed to have walked through a passage blindfolded and got into the carriage, far less troublesome than it is now, could it be that there is more than one road into the valley?"

Eyes on large meadows. At the end of the road were pine trees. Walking through the meadow, I saw a large pine cut off a piece of zhang long and foot wide, painted with white lacquer, and written in nine big characters: "Those surnamed Duan enter this valley to kill without forgiveness." The eight characters are black, but the word "kill" is red.

Zhong Ling suddenly remembered when he saw the wooden plaque, and said to Duan Xing: "Little ...... Brother Duan, I will go into the valley for a while, if I only see my mother, it's okay, in case Yujian my father, don't say that your surname is Duan. Otherwise, my father will definitely be unfavorable to Brother Duan. ”

The words did not speak. The sturdy man who had been silently following behind him laughed wildly when he heard this: "Whoever dares to be unfavorable to the master will not need the master of martial arts to make a personal move." As long as my Uncle Lewang comes out of the horse, I will let his blood splash within five steps. When Duan Xing came out of the "Sword Lake Palace", he quietly followed the bronzed-skinned young man of Duan Xing's team and heard this. Immediately reprimanded: "Shut up." ”

Who ever wanted to be in the country of Cochin, no one was convinced. Liewang, known as the "God of War". Somehow, when he heard the young man's reprimand, he immediately closed his mouth. It seems that the young man is more capable than Duan Xing, and he can make Liewang obedient.

Duan Xing saw that Zhong Ling's face became a little unsightly because of Liewang's words, and he hurriedly coaxed: "Sister Ling'er, don't be like a bastard." Sister Ling'er, don't worry, your father can't hurt me. ”

Zhong Ling hesitated a little, but still believed Duan Xing, reached out and lifted a small hanging iron hammer from the iron nail nailed from the tree, and struck it three times on the second word "Duan" of the nine big characters, and the metal sound was endless, which was really loud. After knocking, Zhong Ling hung the hammer back into the distance.

After a while, I could only hear a girl's voice behind the pine tree shouting, "Miss is back!"

Zhong Ling asked nervously, "Where is Daddy practicing or where is Mother?" The girl saw Duan Xing and the others behind her, and with a "huh" sound, she seemed to be quite surprised, and replied: "The master is practicing, don't let others disturb him." Miss, these are ......."

Zhong Ling said: "These are my new friends, I am going to see my mother, you don't have to tell Daddy." The woman asked playfully: "Could it be that this son's surname is Duan, so the young lady doesn't want the master to know?" Zhong Ling said angrily: "Guess, quickly dodge, I'm going to see my mother, remember not to chew your tongue, otherwise I will let the little mink bite you." The woman stuck out her tongue and got out of the way. Zhong Ling turned around and said, "Big brother, follow me." "Lead the way.

Walk through a forest and follow the trail to the left, in front of a tiled house. Zhong Ling pushed open the door and dodged into the house, then beckoned to Duan Xing and motioned for Duan Xing and the others to come in. Duan Xing walked into the door and saw that it was a small hall with a pair of giant candles lit on the table. It's just that the four screens on the east wall are painted with four kinds of flowers such as plum orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, but the order is hung as orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum and plum; the four pictures on the west wall are hung in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and they are hung in winter, summer, spring and autumn.

Zhong Ling said to the maid outside the door: "Go and invite my mother to come over, and say that the little brother who delivered the letter back then is here." ”

After a while, Mrs. Zhong walked in from outside the door, as before, her appearance was still the same as what Duan Xing had seen many years ago, almost unchanged, her pink face was as handsome as before, her slightly pursed lips were as red as before, full of the charm of a mature woman, and when she saw Duan Xing smiling, she was quite innocent, but it made Liewang behind him almost drool when she saw it.

"I've seen Madame!" Duan Xing bowed and saluted, Mrs. Zhong saved his life many years ago, and he never had time to repay others, and today he and Zhong Ling came back to the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations, just to save a wish. If there is revenge, it will be avenged, and if there is kindness, it will be repaid. This is one of the rules of life that Duan Xing set for himself.

Mrs. Zhong hurriedly stretched out her hand to help Duan Xing up, and said with a smile: "Oh, the little baby back then is so handsome now, I don't know how many women will be confused?"

Duan Xing smiled awkwardly and replied, "I came here this time to repay my wife for saving her life back then. As Duan Xing's words fell, Liewang took out a box out of nowhere and respectfully handed it to Mrs. Zhong.

Mrs. Zhong refused: "You have already repaid the grace of saving my life by sending the letter to me. There is no need to be so polite at this moment, I must not accept this thing. As she spoke, Mrs. Zhong stretched out her hand and pushed the box that Liewang handed to her and pushed it back, but Liewang was infinitely powerful, even if Mrs. Zhong could do a few tricks, she couldn't push it.

Duan Xing took the place of Liewang, put the box in Gan Baobao's hand, and said: "Madam, this thing is just a little bit of heart, Madame insists on not accepting it, and she is worried about this matter day and night, and it is difficult to sleep and eat." Please accept it reluctantly. ”

"This ...... Okay, then I will accept the heart of His Royal Highness the Prince. "Gan Baobao was also a child of the rivers and lakes before he got married, and there were not so many mothers-in-law and mothers-in-law, seeing that Duan Xing was full of sincerity, he also accepted the gift.

Zhong Lingqi on the side said: "How did my mother know that Brother Duan was the crown prince? Ling'er only found out when she heard about it in the 'Sword Lake Palace'. ”

Mrs. Zhong remembered her own affairs, her pretty face was slightly red, and when she didn't know how to explain the reason, she suddenly heard a man outside the door say in a rough voice: "Good manner, how can Jin Xi'er let people kill him?"

Mrs. Zhong was taken aback and said in a low voice, "My grandson is here, he ...... He was the most suspicious, and Duan Gongzi hid for the time being. Duan Xing said: "It's okay, I have to meet my predecessors in my later life." Mrs. Zhong saw the two behind Duan Xing, one was nearly eight feet tall and burly, and the other seemed harmless, but it faintly made Mrs. Zhong feel the danger, and said secretly in her heart: "The two behind you must have been sent by Emperor Baoding to the prince as guards, but I don't know how they are?"

Then I saw the two of them enter the hall, and a man just called, "Madam." Seeing Duan Xing and the others, his eyes widened, and he asked, "Who are you waiting for?" Duan Xing didn't have a good impression of the Lord of Zhong Valley, and didn't want to talk, Mrs. Zhong hurriedly said: "These are Ling'er's life-saving benefactors, just at my invitation, they entered the valley, don't you want to face people viciously, tell me that Jin Xi'er is dead, what's going on?"

Lord Zhong Gu looked at Duan Xing and his party suspiciously, glanced at Mrs. Zhong again, turned to Zhong Ling and asked, "When did they save you?"

Zhong Ling's big eyes rolled, and he said: "Just now I was catching a snake near Jianhu Palace, preparing to eat for the little mink, who thought that a group of people who called themselves 'Shennong Gang' were prompting poisonous smoke to be bumped into by me, and a few people wanted to kill me, fortunately, this big brother and his guards rescued me, I was able to get out, Daddy didn't hurry up xiexie people?"

"In this way, thank you for saving the little girl, now that there is something in the valley, Zhong is inconvenient to stay with you for a long time, and please leave. Zhong Wanqiu thanked him, but there was still a trace of doubt in his eyes. He turned his head to the man who came in with him and said, "Go to the account office and take a hundred taels of silver and give it to these strong men." (To be continued......)
