Chapter 1 Into the Valley
Although Yunmeng Mountain is not far from Luoyang, it is not very close. The carriage traveled for two days and one night before it arrived. Along the way, there were people from the Zhongzhou League who dredged it, and the checkpoint city was also passed smoothly. Nothing happened along the way, everything was calm. The incident of Peacock Villa a month ago was like a big stone thrown into the river. Although it still made waves, it soon returned to calm.
Along the way, Lou Yun and Qiu Yuling ate and lived in the car, and three meals a day were purchased by the accompanying people. These entourages have not said a word since they set off, and naturally there is no expression on their faces. Even when you eat and drink, you always eat your own dry food. Sometimes both of them suspect that these people are mute. And Qiu Yuling and Lou Yun's meals were handed in directly without even saying hello. Fortunately, the food that was brought in was their favorite food. However, this feeling of sitting in a prisoner car made Lou Yun and Qiu Yuling very uncomfortable. These attendants took turns to rest when it was time to rest, and the others were in charge of watching, and no one could sleep all night.
It was just dawn, and the sun was only showing a corner, Qiu Yuling and Lou Yun were sleeping soundly in the car, and a cold voice sounded outside the car.
"Please get up young lady and young master. ”
Lou Yun lifted the curtain and saw that the person talking to them was the leader of the entourage.
The commander didn't look at Lou Yun, but just bowed his head respectfully.
Lou Yun looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
The Commander's voice was still cold, as if it were radiating cold. But his voice was low, perhaps more respectful. He replied, "The Valley of Ghosts has arrived." He said only those four words, then turned and returned to the group. didn't look at Lou Yun again. It's as if he's never left.
Lou Yun returned to the car and pushed Qiu Yuling, Qiu Yuling was pushed awake by him, rubbed his eyes and asked, "What's wrong with Brother Yun?"
Lou Yun put the burden and wooden sword of the two people on his back and said, "Yuling Ghost Valley has arrived, we should get off." ”
Qiu Yuling stretched her waist, yawned and said, "I know, Brother Yun." With that, he stood up.
Lou Yun helped Qiu Yuling and got out of the car with the pigeon cage. A mountain road appeared in front of them, and in front of them was the mysterious and majestic Yunmeng Mountain. The snow had just fallen, and the whole mountain seemed to be covered with silver, and the sun had risen completely. The sun shines on the snow, and it looks particularly dazzling.
Lou Yun was about to go in with Qiu Yuling, when the entourage leader spoke again.
"We will wait here for three days, and if the young master and young lady do not come out after three days, we will return to Luoyang. Please reply to the Zhongzhou League immediately after the young master sees Mr. Guigu, if the young master does not reply, we will go to Hangzhou to find Tianyu Gongzi to ask for someone. After speaking, he took out a ringing arrow from his body, handed it to Lou Yun and continued: "If the young master encounters danger inside, he will bounce this ringing arrow into the sky, and we will immediately go into the valley to save people." If the young master sees Mr. Guigu in advance, he will release a pigeon. Let's go back to Luoyang. ”
Lou Yun took the arrow and said with a smile: "Okay, I know." The commander ignored Lou Yun and changed like a statue without saying a word.
Seeing their appearance, Lou Yun also smiled helplessly, and then pulled the autumn rain bell and walked towards the valley.
After walking to the valley, Lou Yun took out a compass from his baggage. Then he walked around and didn't know what he was doing.
Qiu Yuling saw the strange appearance of Luopan and Lou Yun, so she asked, "Brother Yun, what are you doing with this?
Lou Yun didn't stop his business, and said while measuring: "Brother Tianyu told me that there is a Qimen formation in the Ghost Valley. If we rush into the valley, we will definitely lose our way, and then we will be in trouble, this formation is the innate gossip array laid by Brother Tianyu. Fortunately, Brother Tianyu told me the way to crack the formation, as long as we enter through the Jingmen in the south. ”
"Due South ~ Due South ~ " Lou Yun pointed to a tall boulder and said happily: "This is here." ”
Qiu Yuling looked in the direction that Lou Yun was pointing, but it was just a boulder. There is a narrow gap in the center of the boulder that allows a person to pass through, but it doesn't look like there is a road. However, Qiu Yuling trusted Lou Yun very much, and Lou Yun said that there is a road there.
Lou Yun took Qiu Yuling's hand and slowly passed through this narrow gap, and a very steep mountain road appeared in front of them, the mountain road was covered with snow, it looked very slippery, but there were also a few bare rocks.
Qiu Yuling looked at it a little difficult, Lou Yun looked at the mountain road, and then looked around and said to Qiu Yuling: "Yuling, come here." ”
Qiu Yuling was a little unclear, but she still walked to Lou Yun's side very obediently. Lou Yun grabbed Qiu Yuling's thin waist and hugged her. Qiu Yuling was a little surprised and asked shyly, "Brother Yun, are you ......?"
Lou Yun looked at the beauty in his arms, then glanced at the steep mountain road and said, "Yuling hold on to me." Although Qiu Yuling didn't know why, she still did it, and quietly wrapped her arms around Lou Yun's neck, and her body was tightly attached to Lou Yun's body.
Lou Yun secretly drew internal force, as if a breeze appeared on his feet, and the snow under his feet slowly melted. This hillside may be a little difficult for ordinary people, but Lou Yun has learned some swift shadow steps, and the prototype of this swift shadow step is the Tianqian Sect's cloud-climbing footwork, and the biggest advantage of the cloud-climbing footwork is that it is like the footsteps of climbing the clouds. Lou Yun jumped more than a foot high, and jumped up the steep hillside in a few steps.
Although Qiu Yuling was a little surprised, she was not afraid. She knew that her Yun brother would protect her, and her Yun brother would not do anything that she was not sure of.
Lou Yun stood high with the autumn rain bell in his arms, overlooking the snow-capped Yunmeng Mountain, and Lou Yun put down the autumn rain bell. Qiu Yuling stood side by side with him, looking down at everything in the valley. Lou Yun took out the compass to re-determine the direction, Lou Yun looked at the compass and said, "Yuling, this steep slope is due south." ”
Qiu Yuling looked at the steep hill and the long road, looking a little resistant. Lou Yun saw her thoughts, so he looked around. It happened that a corner was exposed under the snow, and Lou Yun squatted down to throw away the snow, and there was an uneven piece of wood on it. Lou Yun pulled out his sword and gently slashed it towards the wood, although this is a wooden sword, it is also a weapon on the weapon list, it is very sharp, no less than those famous swords in the forefront.
After a few brushes of the wooden board, Qiu Yuling frowned and squatted down to look at Lou Yun and asked puzzledly, "Brother Yun, what are you doing here?"
Lou Yun replied while trimming the wooden board, "Yuling, have you ever skied in the snow?"
Qiu Yuling shook her head and replied: "No, Brother Yun, you have forgotten that I have been frail and sick since I was a child, and I have never even been out of the house a few times, where have I slipped snow." And the family is located in the south, and there are not many times when it snows. ”
Lou Yun sighed, blaming himself for being stupid.
