Chapter 59: Valley of the Immortals (text)
The largest city in the Sky Wolf Country must be Sky Wolf City. This big city, located at the foot of the Heavenly Wolf Mountain, is not only the capital of the Heavenly Wolf Country, but also the county seat of the Great Zhou Heavenly Wolf County. To the west of Sirius City, there is a peculiar canyon. The reason why this canyon is peculiar is that this canyon is covered by layers of clouds and mist all the year round, and the fog is also very strange, only covering the canyon and never overflowing outside the valley. Standing at the mouth of the valley, you can't see anything in the valley.
There were many people who wanted to go into the canyon to see what was going on, how such a low place was actually covered by fog all year round. However, anyone who wants to go in will either be inexplicably thrown out of the valley by a mysterious unknown thing and fall into a mess, or they will be dizzy and turn around the mouth of the canyon for several days before inexplicably fainting outside the canyon.
This kind of weird and bizarre thing happens so often that ordinary people don't dare to come here to see it anymore. Even the heroes of the famous Heavenly Wolf Country, who tried to go in to investigate, had encountered similar situations, and they were no better than ordinary people.
In the end, it was the king of the Heavenly Wolf Country, Jiang Cangqin, who led the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty to build an altar at the mouth of the valley to worship the sky, pray and pray, and set up a pass at the mouth of the valley to arrange the forbidden army to guard it, so that nothing like this happened again.
But not long after, these forbidden troops guarding the Sky Wolf Canyon were inexplicably blown back to Sky Wolf City three or four miles away by a strange wind blowing out of the valley. Even the forbidden troops who were blown away actually saw that outside the canyon, they saw immortals flying from the sky into the misty canyon.
After King Cang learned of this, not only did he not feel afraid, but he was very happy to come here to worship from time to time, trying to get in touch with the gods in the valley, and even set the Sky Wolf Canyon as the forbidden place of the Sky Wolf King's house, and no one was allowed to enter and leave this place at will from then on. King Cang's move seemed to have really been tacitly approved by those mysterious immortals in the canyon. Suddenly, King Cang announced that he was guided by the will of the gods, and decreed that the wolf canyon was renamed the Valley of the Immortals, and set up the Immortal Monument at the mouth of the valley to tell the world, and every year he would lead the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to pray and pray for blessings in front of the Immortal Monument.
It seems that this move is really due to the will of the gods in the canyon, and the Heavenly Wolf County has been in good weather every year, the five grains are abundant, and the country is peaceful and peaceful.
In order to thank the gods for their blessings, King Cang will send a prince or county lord every year to personally guard outside the Valley of the Immortals, and pray for him in front of the Immortal Heavenly Monument for the monarch.
Jiang Rong, who is just sixteen years old this year, is like a budding pink hibiscus. Jiang Rong is not only the youngest daughter of King Cang Jiang Cang's favorite, but also a famous beauty in Sky Wolf City. Because she loves pink and loves to wear a hibiscus pleated skirt, the people of Sirius City call her the lord of Hibiscus.
This year, it was Jiang Rong's turn to come to pray under the Immortal Valley Immortal Monument on behalf of his father. On this day, Jiang Rong led a handsome maidservant girl with Nana out of the courtyard of the divine envoy outside the valley and walked towards the immortal monument at the mouth of the valley.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, breaking the tranquility of the valley mouth, and Jiang Rong's frightened face turned pale, and he hurriedly looked at the way he came.
Several forbidden soldiers who were in charge of guarding the other courtyard were also shocked and poured out of the courtyard with their weapons, intercepting them in the same way, and shouted sharply from afar: "Who dares to gallop here? If you disturb the immortals of the Immortal Valley, the catastrophe of the Nine Clans will only be in front of you! Dismount quickly!"
A fiery red shadow rushed towards the Immortal Valley, and a crisp and pleasant laugh like a silver bell came out immediately: "Bold dog minion, my aunt is the sword woman Jiang Ning is the great general's mansion, who dares to stop this woman? Furong girl, sister has come to see you!"
The people who came seemed to have a very good background, and the few soldiers of the forbidden army who had poured out all showed a look of horror on their faces with a little doubt. However, several people still stopped in the middle of the road without fear of death.
Herod neighed his horse, and the crimson horse stood up and stopped in front of several of the forbidden soldiers. The knight on the horse, wearing a red suit, wearing a fiery red cloak, wiping his forehead with a red scarf, on a heroic pink face, his willow eyebrows were upside down, his apricot eyes were angry, and the horsewhip in his hand pointed at several forbidden soldiers in front of him, and shouted: "You kill talents, don't you want to die?"
These forbidden soldiers turned pale and worried, you look at me, I look at you, they all knelt in front of the woman's horse, and said with a bitter smile: "It turned out to be the lord of Ningjun, and the villains have seen it." Please also forgive the Lord of Ning, if it is not a few villains who are bold, it is actually the king's order that no one should disturb outside the Valley of the Immortals, so as not to disturb the immortals in the valley and bring disasters to our Heavenly Wolf Country for no reason. ”
Jiang Rong, the little county lord who was originally walking towards the Immortal Heavenly Monument, hurriedly led the maidservant girl to trot towards the fiery woman, and said coquettishly in her mouth: "Sister Ning, don't embarrass them." This was indeed the will of my father only a few years ago. This is already a forbidden place for the royal family, and my father decreed that no one should disturb here. ”
The fiery red woman who came removed her anger, handed the reins of the BMW to one of the forbidden soldiers, and scolded: "Hmph, I have taken care of my aunt and grandmother, my red dragon horse was given by the family master Cangwu Daxia, and it is the root of my aunt's life. ”
The leader of the forbidden army took the reins awkwardly and obeyed.
Jiang Rong had already approached at this time, waved at the forbidden soldiers, and motioned for them to retreat, only then did she take the hand of the fiery woman, looked at the two swords diagonally inserted behind her back, and said with envy on her face: "Sister Ning, have you returned from learning martial arts?"
This woman is Jiang Ning, the only daughter of Jiang Hai, the general of the Heavenly Wolf Kingdom, when she was ten years old, she was favored by the Cangwu hero Tie Chasing Feng who passed by the Heavenly Wolf City, and was accepted as a successor and brought to Cangwu Prefecture to teach stunts.
That Cangwu hero is actually the number one hero master in the six states of the wolf country, and he has been alone all his life and has never accepted an apprentice. can be favored by him, and the future is limitless. The general Jiang Hai naturally agreed with joy.
Jiang Ning is eighteen this year, and she has been playing and frolicking with Jiang Rong since she was a child, and her relationship is good. Now Jiang Ning, who has just come down from the mountain, has come to look for herself, the only playmate in her childhood, and her good sister Jiang Rong to talk about her daughter's family. Unexpectedly, after inquiring, Jiang Rong was sent by Uncle Wang to guard the barren valley for him. She also thought that Jiang Rong had angered Uncle Wang and was punished to suffer here, so she hurriedly came here to find Jiang Rong before she had time to ask the reason.
Along the way, he heard some rumors about the Immortal Valley, and Jiang Ning didn't believe it. Jiang Ning has been learning art from his master in Cangwu Prefecture for the past eight years, and he has never heard of immortal cultivators, and he has also learned a super martial arts, his eyes are empty, and he doesn't take these ethereal immortals and ghosts in his eyes.
"Sister Furong, go back with your sister, my sister will go to Uncle Wang, I have to ask Uncle Wang, why did you let such a delicate county lord do such a vulgar thing? Hmph, it's too unusual!" Jiang Ning angrily pulled Jiang Rong's hand and said angrily.
Jiang Rong covered her mouth and chuckled, took Jiang Ning's hand, and walked towards the Immortal Heavenly Monument, while telling her about the things that had happened near the Immortal Valley outside Heavenly Wolf City in the past few years.
Jiang Ning was willing to believe it, but he just lowered his head and sneered. The two walked to the Immortal Heavenly Monument, Jiang Ning raised his head and carefully looked at the Immortal Heavenly Monument, and then went to the Immortal Valley to watch carefully for a long time, but his eyes gradually showed a dignified color.
The fog in this valley is really weird. At this time, she had already used her whole body strength, and with her internal strength of the transformation realm, she should be able to see very clearly and hear very clearly. But no matter how hard she tried, her eyes couldn't penetrate the fog, and when she saw the valley in the fog, she was very keen, and she seemed to be deaf here, and she couldn't detect any sound in the fog.
Jiang Rong looked at Jiang Ning with a calm face curiously, not knowing what she was doing. Jiang Ning made a move back, and the two swords had already reached both hands. Jiang Ning carried the sword and walked towards the fog with a solemn expression.
Jiang Rong was shocked, grabbed her sleeve and covered her small mouth and exclaimed, "Sister, what are you doing?"
Jiang Ning swung slightly, broke free from Jiang Rong's pull with great ease, and walked into the fog. But as soon as he took a few steps, Jiang Ning jumped out in shock, his face full of horror.
She had just walked into the valley for only three steps, and she felt that her body was pushed out by an inexplicable force, and no matter how much she resisted, she couldn't get rid of the force of rejection.
"Weird? Could it be that there are really some monsters and ghosts in this valley?" Jiang Ning said in a surprised whisper.
Jiang Rong was listening clearly, and hurriedly came over to cover her mouth and said, "Sister Hugh wants to talk nonsense, and she will be annoyed if she is heard by the gods in the valley." ”
"Sister, you're just talking nonsense. I don't believe it, there must be some spirit at work, my aunt has to find it out today!" Jiang Ning raised his sword, on guard, and wanted to break in again.
Just when the two of them were in a stalemate, they suddenly heard a strange man's voice say, "Two girls, may I ask if this is the Valley of the Gods?"
The two of them turned their heads at the same time, Jiang Rong looked puzzled, and secretly said How could those forbidden soldiers be so derelict in their duties, and actually let strangers come in here? Jiang Ning was startled, and looked at the person with a different face.
Not far from the two of them, stood a young man wearing a dark robe, dressed in an extremely ordinary outfit. The young man's face was full of wind and dust, and he seemed to have traveled a long way. However, although this young man looks ordinary, he has a free and easy temperament, which makes people don't care so much about his ordinary appearance. The young man was looking at the two gently, his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, waiting for their answer.
"You, you are so bold, how dare you break into here?" Jiang Rong was a little shy by the young man's eyes, but she still had a pair of good-looking sheared eyes, looked at the young man strangely, and scolded softly.
Jiang Ning raised her eyebrows, pointed at the young man with her sword, and asked very unceremoniously: "Hey, who are you?
The young man in Xuanyi was stunned for a moment, he didn't get the answer he wanted, and he wasn't annoyed, he smiled at the two of them, and then ignored the two of them, but touched his chin and looked at the fog in the valley.
This young man in Xuanyi naturally traveled for more than a month, and the servants of the wind and dust rushed from Yunzhou City to Wu Yan who came here to meet Yun Hezi and Lu Cang'er.
Before setting off from Yunzhou, the two agreed to meet Wu Yan in the Immortal Valley outside Heavenly Wolf City. In order to be afraid that Wu Yan would not be able to find the path to enter the valley, Yun Hezi also left Wu Yan a note that he must hold to enter the valley to enter the Valley of the Immortals.
Wu Yan rushed here, but he didn't expect that there was still a royal forbidden army guarding here, and he thought he had found the wrong place. Quietly bypassed the courtyard of the divine envoy where the group of forbidden troops stayed, and came to the valley mouth, just in time to see two daughters arguing here. So I asked for advice.
