The village is lively, the bonfire is lit, and the prey accumulated on weekdays is put on it, the aroma bursts out, the villagers have come out of the house, celebrate each other, the blood baby is dead, there is no need to worry about it in the future, of course, there is another point, the hero who killed the blood baby returned to the village, and the Bashu people admired the hero the most.

Laughter erupted, children kept running back and forth, their eyes never left the campfire, and the aroma penetrated their noses and couldn't help but swallow.

Footsteps sounded, Bai Ying raised his head, a figure approached, his body stopped with a look of hesitation, and just about to turn around, Bai Ying shouted, "Leader." ”

The person who came was the leader of the village, and when he came closer, "Can you enter and see you?" ”

"It's better than tomorrow."

The leader sighed, "Okay. ”

"Come in."

Zhao Kuo's voice came from inside, the leader looked grateful, since the two of them appeared and couldn't sit still, the past of the year came to mind one by one, it was a mystery that belonged to the entire village that could not be solved, and it was also the pain in the leader's heart, the valley of death that made people lost, and now he came out alive, eager to know the mystery.

Bai Ying followed behind, Zhao Kuo was injured, and he was in Bashu at this time, so he had to be careful at all times, Zhao Kuo sat up, his face eased a lot after eating, and he watched the two of them enter the wooden bench next to him with his hand.

The leader sat on it, hugged his fists and said: "This matter has been plaguing the village for many years, and I ask the strong man to tell me the truth, and I am grateful." ”

"Please."

The leader of the village said: "The strong man has fallen into a valley? ”

Zhao Kuo nodded, "Although it can't be distinguished, there is no doubt that it should be a valley from the topography." ”

The leader sighed, "This valley is called the Valley of Death, it was originally built to exile the great traitors in the village, think about it thirty years ago, it was still a child, one day a warlock came to the village, said that there was a disaster, the only way is to set up a formation in the valley, so he took dozens of people from the village into the valley, and never came out again, among those people was my father." ”

The leader paused again when he said this, and from his expression, it could be seen that this matter must have caused great trouble, "Why didn't anyone go in and look for it?" ”

"I went, I never returned, and since then, no one dares to go in, for this matter, my mother can't close her eyes until she dies."

Zhao Kuo stretched out his hand into his arms, and found a beast bone on the bones of the third stone room, which was faintly engraved with handwriting, but unfortunately he couldn't understand it, so he simply took it with him, the valley was not far from the cottage, and it was inevitable that some people from the cottage would die inside.

The beast bone was taken out, the leader's eyes widened, and he quickly grasped it in the palm of his hand, and also took out a piece from his arms, almost identical.

"Where did you find this bone?"

Zhao Kuo briefly said what happened in the stone chamber in the valley, especially the handwriting on it and the last mystery, so as not to let someone enter and kill again in the future.

The leader leaned forward and knelt down in front of Zhao Kuo, "Hurry up." Zhao Kuo was injured and could not be supported, and the leader said: "If a person dies and cannot be buried, it is a great unfilial piety, and now I know the place of the bones of my deceased father, just wait for the sky to be fine and enter the valley to find a good life and bury, this great grace deserves to be worshiped by me." ”

"Every qiē is the will of heaven, if it weren't for the blood baby, it would definitely not fall into the valley, and it would be impossible to unlock the secrets."

Zhao Kuo understated, for the people of the village, it is particularly important to be able to solve the mystery of the valley of death and retrieve the bones of the dead relatives, the leader got up, tears appeared in his eyes, and the kindness could only be remembered in his heart.

There was no word all night, the sky was bright, Zhao Kuo's injuries improved, the Lu family brothers and sisters also wanted to return to the altar to resume their lives, and Lu Ling said it one by one in the Valley of Death, Lu Ying was also grateful, and saw the three of them walking out of it and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, how many more days will you stay here?"

Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, Lu Ling's expression behind him also changed, Mu Chen hurriedly avoided it, blaming himself for being anxious to say that day, Bai Ying hurriedly said: "The other party already knows." ”

Zhao Kuo nodded, "It's helpless to hide your identity." ”

Lu Ling looked at Zhao Kuo, it was rumored in the countryside that King Qin was a young hero, Zhao Kuo was middle-aged, although there was no lack of heroism, he could not be associated with King Qin, and there was only one person left in the world who could be called the king again, "Zhao, Zhao Kuo." Lu Ling looked at the man in front of him in surprise, the man who did not hesitate to protect himself with his life, he was the king of Zhao State, why was he willing to take such a big risk to a woman who had nothing to do with him.

Lu Ying said: "The people of Bashu just want to stay away from the war and live a life without fighting with the world, whether it is Zhao or Qin, there is no favoritism." ”

Zhao Kuo arched his hand, "I am also helpless to come to Bashu this time, I don't know if the two of you can take the three of me back to the altar to meet the clan master." ”

"This!"

Lu Ying's face was embarrassed, the altar was sacred, and outsiders were not allowed to enter, especially those with blood in their hands, and there were not a few people who died under the swords of the three people, and of course the identity of the other party.

"Brother."

Lu Ling bit his lip and shouted, "Don't forget the rules of the altar." ”

"The rules are dead, if there is no Zhao..."Lu Ling paused for a moment, "If there is no king, you and I have already died in the hands of the blood baby, and the great clan master taught us to know good and evil, and understand kindness and righteousness, have we forgotten." ”

"Okay."

Lu Ling's words, Lu Ying had to agree, if there were no three people to help, the two would not be blood baby opponents at all, if it weren't for Zhao Kuo, Lu Ling could only be buried in the valley of death, if he didn't even agree to this request, it would be too much of a failure to be a man.

Hangu Pass, Zhao Jun retreated around Tianguan, with the previous encounter did not dare to be careless, ordered people to take water from a distance, someone used it first, and after a period of time it can be drunk on a large scale, Li Mu boarded the pass, Hangu Xiongguan in the distance, the gateway of Qin, it is the first time to encounter so many troubles when sending troops, so it can be seen that there are many capable people gathered on Hangu Pass.

At the top of Hangu Pass, the smoke lingered, the wind gusted around the altar, and the thunderstorm slowly ascended, and one person turned around, "I've seen the general." ”

Thunderstorm said: "Mr. Wen is hard. ”

"It's a pity that the Zhao army has retreated, and it can't wipe out its army in one fell swoop."

Thunderstorm laughed, "Mr. Strange Magic, Zhao Ren is afraid to approach, why don't you cast a spell again." ”

The man shook his head, "Although this technique is strong, it is also restricted, so the distance is already the limit, the general can rest assured, the technique has been completed, and the Zhao people can't find a way to crack it, so they don't dare to get close at all." ”

Thunderstorm nodded, "Is there a way to crack it?" ”

"Yes."

"Since there is, it may not be able to stump Zhao Kuo."

The spellcaster laughed, "This method is not a secret technique, the only person in the world who can crack it is the master of the altar, the land of Bashu is far away, and it is the territory of Qin, how can Zhao Kuo do it?" ”

"That's right."

Along the way, Lu Ying tidied up his clothes, and then saw that Lu Ling also showed a solemn expression, the three of them didn't know why, Lu Ying said: "In front of you is the holy altar, as a disciple of the holy altar, I don't dare to have the slightest blasphemy, so as not to anger the gods." ”

"I see."

The three of them learned to look like it, tidied up and set off again, the altar was built on the top of the mountain, the clouds and mist were lingering, and thousands of stone steps extended upward, it was extremely difficult for ordinary people to go up from here, "This is a thousand-layer step, and it is the most test of people's endurance and sincerity." ”

If you want to go up the mountain, you must climb up from here, no matter what your identity is, Lu Ying said euphemistically, Zhao Kuo smiled indifferently, Lu Ling's eyes came, most likely because he was worried about Zhao Kuo's injury, the body of people who practice martial arts is better than ordinary people, Lu Ling's sword stabbed, Zhao Kuo instantly avoided the vital point, but only injured the flesh and skin, after healing, he was already half better, and slowly climbed along the stone steps.

When, dang, dang, the bell rang, the door of the altar slowly opened, and the two young disciples walked out, and when they saw Lu Ying bowing and bowing, they should be disciples on the periphery of the altar, and becoming a disciple of the great clan master is equivalent to having the qualification of inheriting the great clan teacher, and the status is above that of ordinary disciples.

"The Great Clan Master can be in the altar?"

"It should be in the Interpretation Hall at this time."

"Okay."

In a hall, the Great Clan Master sat in the middle, and there were several young disciples sitting below, so there were not many opportunities in the first place, if the Gu technique was not cultivated properly, it would only hurt itself, and even be devoured by the Gu and die.

"That's it."

When the big clan master heard the bell, there were only three rings, of different lengths, this kind of knocking method was only known to the disciples of his own family, it should be Lu Ying and the others who returned, got up and walked out quickly.

"Great Clan Master."

"It's good to come back, who are these three?"

The great clan master looked at the three of them, a pair of eyes were shining, it seemed that he could see through the appearance of a person, his appearance was extraordinary, he was also imposing, and he was definitely not an ordinary person with a weapon, the great clan master knew that Lu Ying and Lu Ling had grown up on the altar since they were children, and if it wasn't for special reasons, they would never take the liberty of bringing outsiders in.

"It's better to go inside and wait for the disciple to explain in detail."

"It's fine."

A few people kept up, there was the place of the altar, ordinary disciples could not enter, the smoke was lingering, the building was unique, and several huge poisonous insects were carved on it, these poisonous insects were somewhat similar to the Gu used by Lu Ying and the others, but they were larger in size, and they should be similar to totems.

Entering the altar, the clan master sat down, Lu Ying and the two sat on the ground, and the three of them also sat down, "Say it." ”

Lu Ying explained all the things that happened along the way, especially when it came to the part where they faced the blood baby together, "The blood baby has been completed!" The great clan master nodded again and again, it is true, if it is not for the blood baby to be severely injured first, the spirit rune alone may not be able to subdue it, fortunately, the blood baby has been killed, if it takes some time, I am afraid that the entire Bashu will face a bloody disaster, and there is no way to kill the adult blood baby, of course, there is another point, the spirit rune can only exert the greatest effect when it meets the true person, is it a coincidence, or providence, the eyes of the great clan master fell on Zhao Kuo.

There is no one in ten thousand, the true body, there is nothing wrong, there is no doubt about this person.

"Eradicating blood babies for the benefit of one party."

"Zhao Kuo is just doing his best, the clan master doesn't have to be like this."

"Zhao Kuo!"

Lu Ying hurriedly said: "I forgot to make it clear for a while, the great clan master, this is the current King of Zhao." ”

"I see!"

The great clan master nodded, yes, since he is a true person, he must make a difference, "I have heard that King Zhao is a young hero, and he is the lord of benevolence and righteousness, and today I saw it really extraordinary." ”

Zhao Kuo bowed and saluted, "There is something to ask for today, and I hope that the clan master will agree." ”

"Your Majesty, please speak."

Zhao Kuo clarified what happened to Hangu Pass, and mentioned that the black poisonous insect that took thousands of lives in an instant, the big clan master showed anger, "This beast, in the end, still wants to go out and harm people, it's just that he was too kind at the beginning." ”

"Why did the Great Clan Master say this?"

Lu Ying and Lu Ling bowed their heads at the same time, and the great clan master sighed and said: "This person was originally my disciple, but unfortunately his mind was not right, he secretly cultivated forbidden books, and he was driven out of the altar after I found out, and he has not heard from him, and he doesn't want to enter the Qin camp, and he even broke the rules to harm people, Lu Ying, Lu Ling." ”

"The disciple is here."

The great clan master sighed, "A qiē is the will of heaven, since you have a fate to meet the king, you two will go once." ”

Lu Ying, Lu Ling's face was embarrassed, Zhao Kuo saw it in his eyes, the two of them had already noticed the change in their expressions when they mentioned it that day, and today I heard the great clan master mention that the person who used Gu on Hangu Guan was really a disciple of the Holy Altar, and he must be concerned about each other's affection.

"Lu Ying."

"The disciple is here."

The Great Clan Master sighed, "People's hearts will change, once they embark on the evil path, they will only fall deeper and deeper, if they can be persuaded to abolish their skills and no longer harm others, they can spare their lives, if they are stubborn, for the sake of the reputation of the altar, how to do it should be clear." ”

"The disciple will definitely live up to the trust of the great clan teacher."
