Chapter 103 The invisible pull across the Worm Valley
That night.
The group of people received a very grand reception in Malu Village.
A bonfire was lit in the village.
Men, women and children of all ages sang and danced around the torch.
And...
Chen Yulou, who had almost never been drunk, felt powerless for the first time in such a long time.
More than two hundred people were toasting one after another.
No matter how massive it is, it still can’t bear it.
But, I have to say that wine is really the fastest way to get closer.
In the next few days, the mountain people who were still wary of them have completely accepted their existence.
Especially the young people in Wuluo’s hunting team.
They even got into a fight with Kunlun, Lao Yangren, Zhang Yunqiao and others.
There is even Yuan Hong among them.
It was going crazy on the boat.
Unexpectedly, when I arrived at Maluzhai, I felt like I had returned home. The mountain people were extremely friendly to me.
Chen Yulou didn’t understand it at first.
After that, I found an opportunity to ask Uro before I understood.
It turns out that the Wa people call themselves Buraoke, which means cave people. It is said that the ancestors of the Wa people originally lived in the gourd cave and walked out of the cave under the guidance of an ape.
Since then, it has taken root in the mountains and forests.
Because of this.
They will have a natural affinity for apes.
And he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
I just asked Yuan Hong not to speak in front of others.
Otherwise, given the character of the Wa people in Maluzhai, they would definitely regard it as the incarnation of ghosts and gods.
I won’t want to leave until then.
I’m afraid it will be difficult.
Yuan Hong, who was originally indifferent, how could he dare not to listen to this?
Now, it has acquired the practice method of Xuan Dao Convincing Qi and Building the Foundation, and with the guidance of Chen Yulou, its realm has improved rapidly.
Compared to the days in Baiyuan Cave, I don’t know how much better it was.
It doesn't want to stay in the mountains anymore even if it kills it.
I am worried that I will accidentally reveal my secret.
Yuan Hong simply stayed in seclusion.
I plan to break through the Qi refining barrier in one breath before entering the mountain.
Not only it, but the others also felt the pressure and took advantage of the opportunity to rest and recuperate to secretly improve their strength.
Among them, Hua Ling finally defeated Yuan Hong by half a step, successfully drawing Qi into his body and looking inside at Xi Yi.
After becoming the Partridge Whistle, he was the second person to master the foundation building skill.
The red girl followed closely behind.
While on the road, she was able to enter samadhi within ten breaths.
Now there is only one opportunity.
The old foreigner remained silent and gradually reached the threshold.
Partridge Whistle stayed at home all day as always, spending almost all of his time practicing Qi.
In Chenjiazhuang, receiving guidance from Chen Yulou was like lighting a bright lamp in the dark night.
Today.
He is just one step away from Yangqi Pass.
Just pierce the window paper and you can go one step further.
Compared with them, who practiced hard day and night, Chen Yulou seemed to be the most comfortable one.
It’s not that He Xigu went into the mountains to collect herbs.
Just following Uro and others, wandering around the village.
But no one could have imagined that he was the fastest improving.
The miracle that Red Girl and Partridge Whistle were looking for seemed to be within easy reach for him.
That night at Long Moye.
The moment when the demon's ancient bone divination attracted the prying eyes of the big ghost.
That invisible and strange sense of oppression was like a knife, forcibly breaking through the bottleneck where he had been stagnant for a long time.
Now he has developed his spiritual consciousness.
Naturally, the reason why I have been traveling to and from Zhelong Mountain these past few days is really not just to hang out and relax.
One is to step on the plate.
As a practitioner of inverted fighting, you must know the surroundings of the ancient tombs thoroughly before entering into a fight.
The human skin map in his hand is, after all, an ancient artifact from more than two thousand years ago.
The terrain has changed greatly due to the vicissitudes of life.
Only by measuring and comparing with your eyes can you know what you are doing.
The other one was to test a guess in his mind.
Why are you so concerned about the fourth step of Qi Refining Pass?
That’s because Worm Valley is different from other places.
Once inside, the magnetic field is chaotic and the geomantic omen cannot be deduced using common sense.
Don't say it's him.
Even if Zhang Sanlianzi comes back to life.
In the Worm Valley, it is impossible to accurately find the dragon's acupoints with the help of the sixteen-character Yin and Yang Feng Shui secret technique.
Feng shui mausoleum and restraint are useless.
In this case, there is only one way to identify the direction.
That is with the help of night eyes and spiritual consciousness.
He has been thinking about it for the past few days, integrating his spiritual consciousness into Night Eye, trying to see if he can break the magnetic field array in Zhelong Mountain.
Tell the truth.
The result was completely beyond his expectation.
At least the miasma near the village can no longer affect him.
As for the poisonous miasma that persists all year round in the Insect Valley, he has not tried it yet. It should not be a problem with the precious medicine of Wa Village.
In a blink of an eye.
On the fifth day.
After collecting the medicine, Xi Gu finally appeared again in the Longmoye Bamboo House.
Moba is also a witch doctor.
It's just that in Malu Village, he is called a herbal medicine doctor.
Those mountain herbs, in his hands, have turned into pills called 'Caogu'.
It smells pungent and pungent.
According to him, after swallowing Caogu, you can resist the invasion of poisonous miasma, but the effect only lasts about half an hour.
In other words, they need to cross the Worm Valley and enter the valley within a set time, otherwise even if the great ghost Meji comes by then, they will not be able to save them.
People in their sixties and seventies.
In order to produce this batch of Caogu for them in the shortest possible time.
I almost stayed awake for several days.
Chen Yulou felt really sorry and originally wanted to leave some money.
But was rejected by Xigu.
In the end, I just made a request.
He said that it has been rumored for generations in Maluzhai that in the sinkhole deep in the Worm Valley, there is an 'immortal grass' that can bring the dead back to life.
If they have a chance to get in.
I hope Chen Yulou can collect a few plants for the village.
Although Maluzhai is relatively large among the surrounding villages.
But there is a blood feud between the Wa and Dai people.
Especially the nearest Mengla Village.
The two villages have been fighting each other all year round.
Those young people in Wuluo have to hunt and fight at the same time. It is inevitable that they will be killed by mistake.
In the ancient rumors of Malu Village.
As long as the head is not taken off by the opponent.
By swallowing the Immortal Grass, you can turn danger into safety and come back to life.
Although Chen Yulou couldn’t believe what he said.
There really needs to be a herb that can bring the dead back to life.
At least it is at the elixir level.
Isn't there a big demon guarding it?
How can ordinary people be qualified to spy!
But Xigu said so emphatically that he couldn’t say much. After carefully writing down the appearance of the elixir, he nodded and agreed.
Because Xigu said money is of no use to them.
Chen Yulou specially mobilized those thieves to help the mountain people improve farm tools, iron smelting, and bows and arrows by taking advantage of Changsheng Mountain's achievements in equipment.
We even found a few guys who knew how to farm.
Teach them step by step how to grow crops.
There is no need to rely on the mountains and eat the mountains, or slash and burn farming as before.
For those mountain people, these will undoubtedly bring them unimaginable benefits.
Early the next morning.
The entrance to the village.
Xigu, Toge, and the mountain people who came after hearing the news, almost all men, women and children came to see them off.
Although they spend less time together, they have a harmonious relationship with each other.
"You are the queen of Grandpa."
"Logically speaking, no matter what, I should send you to the Worm Valley."
"It's just that...as the Demon Ba of Maluzhai, everything I have is given by ghosts and gods, and I really can't follow you to the place abandoned by the gods." Xigu explained with a guilty look on his face.
“Qiuda’s words are serious.”
“You have done enough, Chen is grateful.”
If you don’t say it, he will let Uro and others escorted.
The mere fact that Caogu can break the poisonous miasma is already a priceless treasure to them.
Besides, Xi Gudu is nearly seventy years old, his body is weak, and his legs and feet are inconvenient. During this time, so many of them are staying in the village again.
How can Chen Yulou still be greedy?
"Dana, I wish you good luck, the big ghost will protect you and return safely!"
"Thank you Qiuda!"
Chen Yulou clasped his fists and thanked Xigu and Toge one by one.
Zhelong Mountain is surrounded by dense forests, making it impossible for horses to pass through. These days, the horses have to be temporarily fostered in Malu Village.
After saying goodbye.
The mighty team did not delay any longer. Under the leadership of Wuluo and others, the group headed straight for the snow peak.
Through the observations of these few days.
Chen Yulou calculated that the village was about ten miles away from Insect Valley.
But traveling through mountains and ridges cannot be explained by common sense.
Moreover, you will probably pass through two villages along the way.
One of them is Mengla Village, which has a deadly feud with Maluzhai.
In order not to delay the trip.
They planned to take a detour.
So, after seemingly just over ten miles, it took a full six or seven hours to finally arrive outside the Worm Valley.
Leave the group to rest on the spot and replenish food and water sources.
Chen Yulou, Partridge Shao, and Kunlun followed Wuluo up a short slope.
The closer you get to the snow-capped mountains.
The temperature is lower.
They could even see sporadic snow along the way.
Uro said it was what was left after the avalanche.
The temperature difference between day and night in the mountains is huge, and the ancient trees in the primitive jungle are sealed so that sunlight cannot reach every place.
So, those ice and snow can often exist for a long time before gradually melting.
But...
At this moment, the group of people climbed over the hillside.
What they saw was a scene they would never forget.
Between the snow-capped mountains and the dense forest, there is the same low valley with not much vegetation, crossing from the bottom of the mountain.
Just like that.
Nor would they be so amazed.
In mid-air above the valley.
Shrouded in a thick layer of white mist.
Like the clouds in the sky, they all fell here, and they were so dense that even what was hidden behind the valley could not be seen clearly.
“This is Worm Valley!”
"In our Wa village, it is also called the Demon Valley...a place controlled by the devil."
Uluo explained in a deep voice with a solemn expression.
Although he has been here many times.
But every time I see this valley shrouded in clouds and mist, I still feel shocked.
In Wa mythology, Muyiji is the god who created everything, God Mowei is the incarnation of the Wa ancestors, and Meiji ghost is the guardian mountain god of the village.
But no matter Mu Yiji, Mo Weishen or the big ghost.
I have been reminded more than once.
Let the people in the village not go into the depths of the Worm Valley, where the devils live and feed on human souls.
Once you enter it, you can only become a temptation for the devil and will no longer be protected by ghosts and gods.
“Is this a poisonous miasma?!”
Chen Yulou seemed not to have heard what he said.
Just looking at the thick white fog in a daze, his face was full of shock.
He finally understood.
Why in the original work, even the experienced leader of Xieling would fail.
Such a thick poisonous miasma.
Let alone a human being, even an elephant would probably not be able to survive for a minute.
"Uluo, have these white miasma always existed? Will they never disappear?"
The red girl looked amazed.
After being lost for a while, he subconsciously asked Uro.
"It will disappear, but..."
Wu Luo has learned some simple Chinese, but most of the time he still speaks it with dialect.
“But what?”
At this moment, several people had withdrawn their gazes and stared at him.
“However, you have come at the wrong time.”
“These poisonous miasmas will only dissipate briefly during the extremely cold days of winter...”
Extremely cold winter?
Capture this keyword.
Chen Yulou's heart moved and he reacted instantly.
The poisonous miasma in Worm Valley does not actually exist naturally.
But that old boy Xian Wang used the death energy of countless wronged souls to continuously release it through the body of Huo's undead insect.
Only in this way can it last for thousands of years and last all year round.
The Huo's Undead Worm has amazing vitality and almost no shortcomings.
When it is extremely cold, it happens to be when it falls into a deep sleep, and the fog will naturally dissipate.
“Are you really going?”
Wu Luo couldn’t help but asked as he saw several people lost in thought but showing no intention of retreating.
In fact, he had wanted to ask this question for a long time.
“Of course.”
“Having arrived here, is there any reason to return empty-handed?”
Chen Yulou shrugged his shoulders and looked at Ruo Ruo, who was standing aside. A thoughtful partridge whistle.
“Brother Dao, what do you think?”
Partridge Whistle was obviously in a daze and didn't even hear what he said. He just nodded subconsciously and quickly withdrew his gaze.
So much so that Wu Luo, Kunlun and Miss Hong didn't notice the strange look in his eyes.
At this moment, his heart was like a river surging.
Don’t know why.
The moment approaching Worm Valley.
He suddenly had an indescribable feeling.
It seemed like...there was something pulling him.
But when Partridge Whistle went to investigate carefully, that feeling disappeared instantly.
"Then... do you want me to protect you?"
Seeing this, Uro gritted his teeth, with a hint of determination in his eyes.
Even the clan leader and Moba had warned them since childhood not to enter the Worm Valley at any time.
But right now, we can’t abandon them!
“Wuluo, thank you for your kindness.”
“But the people in the village are still waiting for you to go back.”
“Go back, wait for us When I finish, I will go to Maluzhai to find you.”
Hearing his words, Chen Yulou and others were moved.
This is not about bravery, but a taboo passed down from ancient times in the clan.
It is enough for him to have this heart.
Chen Yulou patted his shoulder and shook his head with a smile.
“But...”
"It's nothing."
Seeing that he wanted to open his mouth, Chen Yulou interrupted him directly.
Then he greeted back.
The thieves, who had already rested, took out the grass and swallowed it in one gulp without hesitation. They tied up their black cloth masks, carried their equipment on their backs, and strode over the hillside.
“Go back.”
When the team went up the mountain, Chen Yulou and others did not waste any time and swallowed Caogu one after another.
Waving goodbye to Uro and his group.
He rushed towards the depths of the Worm Valley.
Less than two miles.
But it seems like a century has passed.
Everyone, including Chen Yulou, had serious expressions on their faces covered by black cloth.
The closer we get.
The pungent and unpleasant poisonous smell became stronger and stronger.
It’s just...
The moment when entering the Worm Valley, white mist floated over.
However, a group of people found that their bodies felt cool and there was no horrific scene of skin ulceration.
"Herbs are useful."
"Quick...cross the Worm Valley as fast as possible!"
