Chapter 197: Leaving the Valley
Chapter 197: Leaving the Valley
Time flies, the sun and the moon travel.
Soon it was time for Mu Yao and others to leave the valley.
Except for being unable to use force, Xiao Douxue is no longer in any serious condition.
When Shi Xianhe and Hua Yuerong learned that Mu Yao had a plant of "Eight Immortal Grass", they were so excited that they almost shot out of the sky on the spot. They immediately waived all the money for the medicine and gave her a token that allowed her to enter and exit the Poison Valley freely.
Shi Xianhe asked Elder Gongsun to personally escort Shi Jingchan to Dayun. Li Yan stood aside with eager eyes. Gongsun Li touched the little chirp on his head and allowed him to go with him.
"Uncle-master, I'll leave you to take care of Jingchan all the way out of the valley this time!" Shi Xianhe bowed respectfully to Gongsun Li.
Gongsun Li smoothed the gray hair that fell on his chest and nodded slightly.
Shen Chutang's eyes narrowed, a dark light flashed from the corner of his eyes, and he instantly knew his identity.
No wonder there was only one grey-haired old man guarding the gate of the huge Poison Valley. With Gongsun Li's strength, even if Old Feng broke in personally, he would not be sure of victory.
This "old poisoner" from the past generations' legend was actually still alive. If he remembered correctly, Gongsun Li had already entered his old age, but now he was still walking briskly, with vigor and vitality in his eyes, looking no different from an ordinary sixty-year-old man.
Xiao Douxue said goodbye to Shi Xianhe and Hua Yuerong with a normal expression, but the moment he turned around, he could no longer keep his expression, his eyes were cold, and his whole body seemed to be surrounded by a cold wind.
Wei Wushang naturally separated Mu Yao and Shi Jingchan at an appropriate distance. They walked in silence along the way, and the atmosphere was weird. Even a lively child like Li Yan held back and didn't utter a word.
The atmosphere did not ease until we walked out of the poisonous miasma and felt the scorching sun again.
"Sister, we are not far from the town. I will go find two carriages and wait for you at the archway of Stone Town." Li Yan broke the silence first.
As soon as he finished speaking, several figures flashed and gradually disappeared from sight.
Shrink to an inch!
Shen Chutang and Wei Wushang's eyes narrowed.
This is the unique skill of the Wuji Sword Immortal of Zhexian Peak. How could Li Yan know it?
"Ah Li's speed is getting faster and faster!" Mu Yao looked at his back which had disappeared, and was amazed again. This skill was much better than the kung fu she had seen in martial arts novels.
Gongsun Li smiled with satisfaction and said, "In terms of speed, no one in the world can compete with me."
Shi Jingchan nodded, expressing his deep agreement.
Half an hour later, they arrived under a huge stone archway.
The three large characters "Shitou Town" are engraved with the vicissitudes of time in every stroke and every movement.
After hundreds of years, the four stone pillars and the two stone lions below still look tall and majestic.
There were two horse-drawn carriages parked not far away, and Li Yan was using a ladle to scoop water from a large iron bucket nearby to bathe the horses.
Looking back and seeing the person coming, he immediately dodged and smiled, "Grandmaster, Young Master, these two carriages are the largest nearby."
Gongsun Li nodded and smiled kindly.
That smile looked weird to Wei Wushang. The people in the Poison Valley were really well hidden. No wonder his wife was deceived by their kind appearance.
Turning to look at Shi Jingchan, he saw him staring at Mu Yao's back thoughtfully. He immediately clenched his fists and said in a cold voice, "Yaoyao, get in the car."
Wei Wushang took Mu Yao and got on the carriage, followed by Shen Chutang and Xiao Douxue.
Gongsun Li glanced at Shi Jingchan calmly and said, "Everyone has left, get in the car."
Shi Jingchan paused in the twisting and plucking motion in his hands, and then returned to his original appearance of a pale young man.
In the carriage, Gongsun Li flicked the dust off the hem of his clothes and said, "Jingchan, you are twenty-five this year, right? This time you leave the valley, it's a rare opportunity." After saying this, he closed his eyes, blocking out the noise.
Li Yan looked at Gongsun Li in confusion, then at Shi Jingchan, and saw him staring out the window with a thoughtful look on his face. Following his gaze, Sister Mu's stunningly beautiful face appeared faintly under the half-lifted curtain.
He asked in a confused manner, "Young Master, do you like Sister Mu?"
Shi Jingchan seemed to have been touched upon, and immediately withdrew his gaze: "Ali, do you want to go back to the valley?"
Li Yan immediately raised her hands to cover her mouth and stopped talking.
Mu Yao's carriage was much more lively.
Xiao Douxue muttered angrily why he brought Shi Jingchan with him. Mu Yao glanced at him unhappily, leaned against the carriage, closed her eyes and ignored him.
Wei Wushang's eyes were as cold as frost, and he glared at Xiao Douxue fiercely: "Master Xiao, I have to ask you this! Could it be that you are a forgetful person? When you recover, I will ask after you from time to time to help you remember better."
. . . . . .
Xiao Douxue's face turned pale, his eyelids twitched, and his whole body was so weak that he couldn't even lift a finger. He pursed his lips tightly, glanced at Mu Yao pitifully, turned his body aside and said nothing more.
Shen Chutang silently took out a book and began to read it page by page.
The sound of book pages moving at the fingertips echoed in the cramped space.
Wei Wushang looked at him unhappily: "What are you pretending for!"
He is obviously a bloodthirsty madman, but he insists on pretending to be an elegant man.
Shen Chutang paused and ignored him.
"A scum among gentlemen." Wei Wushang glanced at him again and snorted.
A sharp gaze shot towards Wei Wushang.
"You want to fight?" The fierceness in Shen Chutang's eyes was revealed without any disguise. The tense look between the two made Xiao Douxue swallow his saliva quietly.
"Hey, I can't even take a nap well." Mu Yao turned over and turned her back to them, continuing to rest with her eyes closed.
It seems that I must never bring these two people with me when I go out in the future.
The car was silent.
In the evening, two carriages stopped in front of an inn.
"behavior."
Mu Yao read the plaque on the inn in a low voice.
What is the meaning of this name?
Gongsun Li had been away from the hustle and bustle of life for many years and had long forgotten the outside world.
He stared at the two black cats squatting at the threshold of the inn and frowned slightly.
Shen Chutang glanced at the old locust trees outside the gate, and a hint of doubt flashed through his mind.
Li Yan was jumping up and down and was about to explore inside when a loud and powerful voice rose behind him.
"Wait." Gongsun Li walked past a few people and entered the "Xingzhi". There was no light on in the hall and no one was there.
"Ali, go ahead and see if there are other places to stay."
Ali said "hmm" blankly, and his figure flashed ten feet away. The span became larger and larger, and after three flashes, there was no trace left.
"Uncle-master, is there something wrong?" Shi Jingchan asked with a slight glint in his eyes.
Gongsun Li hesitated for a moment, then replied in a deep voice: "No problem, I just feel that there are too few guests here, and I don't think it would be comfortable to live here. Let's wait and see if Ali can find a better place."
He concealed his thoughts.
The atmosphere here is gloomy and depressing, exactly the same as the forbidden corpse-raising pool in the valley.
Mu Yao and Wei Wushang's eyes never left the rows of old locust trees. I remember there were a few such ghost trees outside the dilapidated house in the purple su forest.
