Hearing these words, Ji Ye's face suddenly turned gloomy. This person who was pretending to be the mute master uncle of the Evil Ridge not only saw that he was not a disciple of the Golden Rooster Tower as early as in the Evil Ridge, but also saw that he had flashed past The murderous intention in my heart.
Looking at the red-robed hood standing with a sword in hand, he turned his eyes and glanced at the bearded man blocking the way behind him. Ji Ye couldn't help but thought to himself: "I fought with this man in the Villain Ridge before, and I felt that this man is not simple. ...There is also this big man with a beard. If he tries to silence him right now, he might be defeated, so he might as well pretend to agree first and find a good opportunity before taking action."
After calming down, he immediately dispersed the murderous intention in his heart, but his tone did not soften: "Your Excellency has said that we will join forces, but you have not shown your true face to others, fearing that you are not sincere. How can I dare to be honest and tell what I know? Tell me!"
Ji Ye is not afraid that these two people will take action against him. Firstly, since these two people have chosen to rescue him, they will definitely not do anything to him again. Secondly, he also sees that these two people broke into the Golden Rooster Cave so rashly and must not have known what happened. It's dangerous, so I'm confident.
Sure enough, after hearing Ji Ye's cold words, the red robe thought for a moment and put the moonlight sword in his hand back into the red robe. After a while, he stretched out his hand again and slowly took off the hood, revealing the young man's face.
He had only heard this person's clear voice before and had made some guesses, but when he saw the young face revealed, Ji Ye was still a little surprised. At such an age, he had such internal strength and swordsmanship, which would be immeasurable given time.
"Xia Muyi, this is my eldest brother Xue Hu. I hope you can teach me something." Gu Xiao took off the hood of his red robe and cupped his fists in salute.
Seeing that the young man was polite, Ji Ye softened his tone and said, "Don't dare to tell me. I heard that someone broke into the valley before. Now it seems that it has something to do with you. Since you pretended to be my mute uncle, it seems that he is dead." In your hand..."
Hearing the probing words, Gu Xiao didn't want to talk in depth, so he changed the topic back to the Golden Rooster Cave: "The owner of the Golden Rooster House held a banquet to entertain the visitors from Wicked Ridge. Brother Ji is the leader, but he never showed up. I think he has exposed himself. What's strange about this place? Mu doesn't want to pry into other people's private affairs, but he doesn't want to talk too much about his own private affairs. Let's join forces, just for this cave. I'll help my brother get out of trouble, and he'll help me complete what I want to explore. How about that?"
Hearing this, Ji Ye felt suddenly in his heart. The young man still didn't know that he had killed Murong Lu and framed the evil man ridge. He immediately realized that these two people would appear in the Golden Rooster Cave. It must be Murong Yue's plan to kill these two people. He didn't see through this. The young man pretended to be afraid of disturbing Huihun Cliff, so he was lured into the Golden Chicken Cave, hoping to use the beast to end his life.
Glancing at the already unrecognizable corpse of the Jinji Tower disciple, he was worried that there was no living thing in his hands, and the two people in front of him came to the door... Ji Ye had an idea in an instant, and thought to himself: "In that case, why don't I just go with the flow? Use these two lives to complete the task. After the completion of the task, these two people are dead, and I can leave the Golden Rooster Tower quietly..."
After making up his mind, Ji Ye turned his eyes and said, "Brother Mu saved Ji's life, how can we refuse to join forces? Please forgive Ji for asking, what is Brother Mu trying to investigate, and how can I help?"
The bearded man behind him heard Ji Ye's sincere words and was upright and determined to find his master. He immediately opened his mouth to explain his search for his master: "The two of us are looking for..."
The darkness in the cave could not hide the starry eyes of the young man. He was not as loyal and upright as Xue Hu. The tone of the chief disciple of the Golden Rooster Tower that he had rescued sounded sincere, but his eyes were wandering, and he did not know what he was thinking in his heart... Brother Xue heard that He was about to reveal the matter and hurriedly cut off Brother Xue's words: "To be honest, the two of us disguised ourselves as villains and came to the Golden Rooster Tower to find... a ferret. I wonder if Brother Muji has one. information."
"You are working so hard just to find the ferret?" Ji Ye couldn't help laughing when he heard their purpose.
Gu Xiao said seriously: "I'm not afraid of Brother Ji's jokes. I did come here to find ferrets. I just entered the valley hastily. I really don't know the details of the valley. I hope brother can help me."
Ji Ye could tell from the young man with the beard and big Chinese language when he intercepted him. The young man was very wary. He secretly thought that if he wanted to take advantage of the two of them, he would need to gain the young man's trust. He thought a little and said bluntly: "It seems that Mu Xiao Brother, I still don’t know how powerful Murong Valley is, so I’ll put aside the matter of looking for the ferret for the time being, and let Brother Mu know a little bit about the matter in Murong Valley.”
Before that, all he knew about Murong Valley was the sentence he said when he looked at the bamboo sea. The other party took the initiative to mention the details of Murong Valley. Gu Xiao was naturally willing to hear it. Only by knowing Murong Valley well could he find Ta Xue. Go find Lin'er, Uncle Li and others.
After pondering for a while, Ji Ye then spoke: "At the Thirteen Passes of Murong Valley, the soldiers and warriors died in the fire. The golden roosters in the hometown are kind to the wicked, the wild ghosts are obsessed with the cold, the wind is lingering with the lotus flowers, it is not too late to return to the world... Brother Mu has put on a red robe and arrived at the Golden Rooster Tower, so he already knows this saying."
"Not bad!" Asked again about the Thirteenth Pass of Murong Valley, Gu Xiao did not hide it and nodded in agreement.
Ji Ye continued: "But does Brother Mu know the meaning of these thirteen levels?"
Gu Xiao and Xue Hu looked at each other, then shook their heads and said, "Brother Ji, please give me some advice."
Since he wanted to win the trust of the two young men, Ji Ye did not hide anything and told everything he had learned over the years of sneaking into Murong Valley.
"The cycle of life and death, the road to return to the sun, is the thirteenth station, which coincides with the number of thirteen in the Murong Valley. Among the three mountains in the Murong Valley, Wangxiangpo, Weirenling and Jinji Tower are located on the first mountain, and the Golden Rooster is the top, so it is also It is called Jinji Mountain. This time, among the peaks are the Wild Ghost Village, the Hall of Ecstasy, and Fengdu City, with Fengdu as the top. The next mountain is Fengdu Mountain, and this last mountain is also the most dangerous existence in the Murong Valley. Infinite Hell, Feng Lingdang, etc. There are direct disciples of the Valley Master sitting on both the Lotus Terrace and the Lotus Terrace, while the Valley Master lives on the Resurrection Cliff..."
In just a few words, the location of Xiao Fengdu and the location of "Feng Lingdang" were all clear. Gu Xiao's eyes lit up. This time when he entered Murong Valley, in addition to looking for Lin'er and others, he also had one thing to worry about, which was to escape from Fengling. After redeeming the Yingli post from Liu Yi's hand in Liuzhuang, he was about to ask about the redemption when he heard Ji Ye continue.
"Brother Mu is really good at breaking into the valley from Wangxiang Slope." At this point, Ji Ye glanced at the young man's face and said meaningfully.
Gu Xiao was shocked. He had experienced life and death from the valley before breaking into the valley. Listening to Ji Ye's words, it seemed that there were other ways to enter the valley. Could it be that Miss Murong deliberately concealed it... After thinking about it, he rejected it. Waiting for the thought, Miss Murong almost died along with herself on the Terracotta Warriors Waterway and the Bridge of Rebirth. If she wanted to conceal the deception, why bother risking her own life.
Thinking carefully about the words of the leader of the Golden Rooster Tower in front of him, Gu Xiao only felt his doubts getting stronger, and he couldn't help but secretly thought: "Murong Fengling is the top master on the Lingjue list. He wants to establish a sect, but Qiyun has thousands of miles of territory. There are countless places to choose from. Why did you choose this concave valley to start a sect with the number of returning Yang... No matter whether it is the waterway of warriors and warriors, the Bridge of Rebirth, or everything you see after entering the valley, they are all not done by human beings. Could it be that Murong Fengling has become a fairy and a demon..."
Seeing that the young man seemed to be deep in thought, Ji Ye turned back to the ferret that the young man was concerned about: "There are thousands of animals in Jinji Mountain, but there are no ferrets. However, more than a month ago, a ferret escaped from Fengdu to the boundary of Jinji Tower. Murong Yue also sent an order, ordering us to capture this beast, but the ferret was smart and well-versed in human nature, so we did not succeed in setting the trap. After that, I was separated, and I don’t know what happened next..."
After hearing the news about Taxue, Gu Xiao pulled his thoughts out of the fog of Murong Valley and told the news he had heard from Murong Yue: "It was exactly when we heard that my ferret was trapped in this cave that we went into the cave to search for it. ..."
Gu Xiao used this as a test, but before Ji Ye could speak, the conversation was interrupted by the sound of treading on the ground in the quiet cave.
"Thum...thum...thum..."
"Oops, I only focused on luring these two people into the situation, but forgot about that beast...it must have been disturbed by the movement just now!" Ji Ye's expression suddenly changed, he looked at the corpse of the Jinjilou disciple in the cave, which was already beyond recognition, and secretly complained.
Before the two young men looked at each other and didn't know what was going on, they asked questions. Ji Ye quickly raised his hand to make a silent gesture, and then waved to the two of them to leave the place quickly with him.
I don't know what's strange about the sound of stepping on the ground, but Gu Xiao broke into Murong Valley all the way from Ao Valley. Just looking at Ji Ye's face, he immediately knew that this movement was not simple. He also saw that Ji Ye was just walking away, so he hurriedly called Brother Xue. He winked and signaled to follow.
The cave was intricately intertwined and had many forks. Ji Ye was anxious, as if he was worried that the footsteps would catch up with him, so he darted left and right in the cave very skillfully, spiraling up until he turned above the place where the three of them were talking. He found a hidden place in the cave and just stopped.
The young man behind him could still follow closely, but Xue Hu suffered a lot. He was already tall, and his clothes were scratched a lot by the sharp rocks protruding from the cave. I might have to suffer a lot of physical pain.
Seeing Ji Ye bending his knees and leaning against the stone wall, looking through the gap in the hiding place, Gu Xiao also lowered his body, leaned a little closer, and asked softly: "Brother Ji..."
As soon as the words came out, Ji Ye didn't look back. He only clenched his fists and waved his hands to indicate that he should not speak. Gu Xiao had no choice but to remain silent and wait quietly.
Xue Hu finally bent down and arched into the hiding place of the two people in front of him, and then settled his body. He heard the sound of footsteps coming down the cave. He wanted to take a look, but the space in the cave was narrow. Not to mention turning around. He couldn't even move his body. Seeing the two people in front of him silently hiding themselves, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and hold on, not moving any more.
Xue Hu couldn't do it, but Gu Xiao was able to check it out. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he stuck his head out and looked down...
Fortunately, after a closer look, Gu Xiao, who had seen people butchering animals in Hejiapu, was still shocked. The one below that made a heavy sound of treading on the ground was a ferocious beast. Although he could only see its back. , but the long hair covering the body and the feet stepping on the ground like tiger's hooves are already intimidating, especially when walking upright, the sound of stepping on the ground echoes in the cave, which is breathtaking.
This monster didn't seem to notice Gu Xiao and others hiding in the cave above. It was only attracted by the smell of blood emitted from the ground. It walked to the firefly-eyed monster that was killed by Gu Xiao and the two corpses of Jinjilou disciples, and stopped. He paused, raised his head and looked around to see his face.
The human-faced pig wolf is dripping with disgusting sticky saliva. It is sniffing the smell in the cave with its nose turned upwards. There are no eyes on the almost human-like cheeks, which makes this monster even more weird.
Perhaps the smell of blood here was too strong, and this monster had never smelled other smells. After changing its head, it stopped sniffing, leaned down, stretched out its front paws, and picked up the corpse of the monster that Gu Xiao had chopped off from the ground. , put it directly into your mouth, and start chewing...
"Crack...Crack..." The sound of broken bones suddenly reached the ears, causing the three people hiding above to frown. I wonder if it was because the monster had no eyes and they took the wrong body. After a big meal, they felt the taste in their mouths. Not eating properly, he opened his mouth and spit out all the fire-eyed monsters that he had just chewed to pieces.
The thick saliva covered the chewed flesh and blood and poured onto the ground, emitting a thick stench and filling the cave...
Ji Ye, who was looking around, hurriedly withdrew his gaze, clung to the rock wall, stretched out his hand to fumble for a moment, took out a small oil paper bag, and handed it to the boy next to him.
When he took it, Gu Xiao saw Ji Ye pointing to his nose, indicating that he and Brother Xue should sprinkle the Chinese medicine powder wrapped in oil paper on their bodies. After thinking about it for a moment, he immediately knew what it meant. The monster below lived in the dark place all year round, and his vision It has long since degenerated. Judging from his previous actions of sniffing, Ji Ye handed over the powder to cover up the smell on his body.
Starry eyes swept across Ji Ye's face, watching as he kept looking back at the monster, and then back at the action of eagerly urging him to open the oil paper bag quickly. After thinking for a moment, he finally made up his mind, opened the oil paper bag, took out the powdered medicine, and shook it. On top of the red robe...
