The sun is shining brightly.
Blue sky, white clouds.
Mountains, forests, lakes, villages...
Wen Gui, Guo Xuan, and Sheng Huaizi stopped, all looking in disbelief.
It was midnight just now, and in the blink of an eye the sun was shining brightly. The gloomy mountain forests, clear lakes, villages with smoke coming from cooking stoves, and seedlings in the fields are like a pastoral scene in the world, but are they the secret realm of the Spirit Fox clan?
"Brother Qiong, this is..."
Wen Gui couldn't help but asked.
"boom--"
There was a muffled sound behind him, accompanied by the sound of rolling boulders.
Wen Gui was startled and slowly looked back. He carried Yu Ye on his back and moved very carefully. Guo Xuan and Sheng Huaizi accompanied him, both slightly stunned.
The cave he came from has disappeared out of thin air. Qiong Shan, who was standing aside, patted the dust on his hands and said inexplicably: "Well, another way out..."
He looked up at his companions and said, "This is Linghu Village. Everyone, please—"
Isn't it a secret realm? Why did it become Linghu Village again?
Wen Gui had no time to think too much.
As long as he escapes the pursuit of the two demon kings, he will be thankful, and he can settle down and stay with his junior brother for a while.
He carried Yu Ye on his back and followed Qiong Mountain down with Guo Xuan and Sheng Huaizi.
The previous waterfall should be a hidden barrier portal. After passing through the barrier, there is a cave. The disappeared cave is located halfway up the mountain, with stone stairs leading down the mountain.
Come to the bottom of the mountain and follow the field path.
I could see the lake and mountains a few miles away, and the shadows of trees on the shore; there were dozens of thatched cottages on the nearby mountain col, and there were old people and children playing leisurely at the entrance of the village. As the smoke rose, a line of birds flew past. The beauty from far and near is like a picture scroll, which makes people intoxicated and relaxed.
Wen Gui, Guo Xuan, and Sheng Huaizi had suffered a lot, and now they were surviving another disaster. Suddenly faced with such a peaceful world, they each sighed with emotion——
"Tsk, tsk, it's so comfortable!"
"Not only is it comfortable, but it is also rich in spiritual energy and pleasant scenery, which is rare to see..."
"Brother Qiong shouldn't have lied. This is not Linghu Village. It is nothing more than a fairyland on earth..."
Qiong Shan became taciturn and hurriedly led the way.
Before they reached the lake, the old people and children at the entrance of the village suddenly left in panic. Then a young man walked out of the village. He was wearing a long gown, handsome and light-footed. He raised his hand to block Qiong Shan's path and said coldly: "Qiong Shan." Elder, you have violated the clan rules by leading outsiders into the secret realm without authorization. The clan elder has an order that strictly prohibits you from even setting foot in the village. Please find your own place with your companions!"
"Um!"
Qiong Shan did not dare to contradict him, he lowered his head and agreed, leading everyone around the mountain col.
Wen Gui, Guo Xuan, and Sheng Huaizi understood the principle of doing as the Romans do when they are in a rural area, so they were inconvenient to ask questions, but they were still suspicious.
Elder?
Qiong Shan is actually the elder of the Fox clan. Isn't the clan elder's cultivation even more powerful? In order to avoid being hunted, he was forced to bring his companions to Linghu Village, but they violated the clan rules. No wonder he seemed uneasy.
And although that young man is handsome, his cultivation is ordinary, and he may be a foundation-building monk, but he is giving orders to Qiong Mountain, which is really hard to understand.
Not only that, the old people and children in the village are no different from ordinary people. It's said to be a spirit fox village, but we haven't seen a spirit fox yet.
After bypassing the mountain col, I followed the lake for more than ten miles and came to another valley. Although it was only a few miles in diameter, it had deep vegetation and was extremely secluded.
At the end of the valley, there is a cave.
Qiong Shan led everyone into the cave and said: "Hu'er Valley was once a place for me to practice. Everyone, please rest here, but..." He hesitated for a moment and said: "However, I will add a few more rules. Please leave. Before you go, you are not allowed to approach the village, you are not allowed to harass the tribesmen, and you are not allowed to leave the Hu'er Valley without authorization. I will stay outside the valley and give you any orders if you need anything!"
Wen Gui, Guo Xuan and Sheng Huaizi nodded in agreement.
Regardless of the rules, let’s settle in for now.
The cave is natural, dry and spacious. There is another cave that is only two feet in size.
Wen Gui put Yu Ye on his shoulder on the ground and asked him twice, but there was no response, so he teamed up with Guo Xuan and Sheng Huaizi to help him into the cave. He also moved a stone to block the entrance of the cave, and then dug another stone chamber. Set up array restrictions and arrange their respective residences...
"Bang, bang——"
The sounds of flying swords chopping stones continued one after another.
Yu Ye sat slumped in the darkness, his brows raised slightly. He wanted to sit up, but he didn't have any strength. As soon as the light flashed, a small figure appeared next to him. She took out a few formation flags from his iron ring and threw them around. The cave where she was was immediately shrouded in the formation. She found some elixirs and stuffed them in. With his mouth in his mouth, he helped him sit up straight, changed his tattered robes, applied elixirs to the wounds on his back, then used magic power to connect the broken bones, and finally took out spiritual stones to fill the cave.
After a lot of work, watching Yu Ye being in the rich spiritual energy, she merged into his body, hiding in the depths of the sea of qi and waiting silently.
…
Fox Valley.
Qiong Shan sat on the stone at the entrance of the valley and stared at the stone wall beside him. There are several traces carved on the stone wall, and a spirit fox is carved on it. In other words, a spirit fox is running in the wilderness.
He reached out and touched the stone carvings, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes.
He didn't know who his father was, but he remembered what his mother said before she died: You are not a human, you are a fox. Only by staying away from humans can we survive...
When he was young, he always thought that he was a human, so he got close to the human race and imitated their words and deeds. When his mother was injured by the human race, he finally repented in grief and carved a running fox on the mountain wall with his own hands as a mark of memory, and named the valley where he lived as Fox Valley. The thought of becoming a human being was always hard to shake off, so he practiced hard and eventually became an elder of the Fox clan. However, he resolutely left Linghu Village, just to go further and set foot on a higher realm. For this reason, he ventured into the demon realm and was trapped in the Lingya Dungeon for a hundred years. And after he achieved some success, he had to return home. Because he met Yu Ye, who was the only human monk who surrendered and respected him. There is a saying in the human race that a scholar will die for his confidant. Yu Ye may not be a confidant, and he is not willing to die easily, but he might as well make a difference. This old fox is no different from the human race.
He is a fox, and he is also a human being...
"Elder——"
A young man came through the mountain path and stopped at the mouth of the valley.
Qiong Shan put back his chaotic thoughts, straightened his clothes a little, then stretched out his hand to stroke his beard, nodded slightly and said, "Qiong Ling, what do the clan elders have to say?"
The man's name was Qiong Ling. He had built a foundation for cultivation. He raised his hands and bowed in salute, saying: "After you escape the disaster, don't come back again. Linghu Village may be closed and isolated from the world from now on!"
"How did the clan elders know that I came here to avoid disaster?"
"If you hadn't avoided disaster, how could you and a few human monks be hiding in this barren mountain? And you should know that every time outsiders enter the village, they will cut off the clan's way out, and the clan leader is helpless!"
"Well, there are not many ways out for Linghu Village. This is Qiongshan's fault!"
Qiong Shan's expression darkened, but he couldn't help but ask, "Have the Kuimu clan done anything provocative?"
"You have been gone for three hundred years, and the Kuimu tribe has provoked hundreds of times, but I have repelled them one by one. You don't have to worry!"
Qiong Ling said goodbye and left.
"That's good, that's good..."
Qiong Shan muttered a few words silently and slowly closed his eyes with a desolate expression.
Outside, he is a master of evil cultivating with cunning, cleverness and ever-changing magical powers. Once he returned to Linghu Village, he became a sinner who caused trouble and was in panic. He wanted to take the opportunity to deal with the Kuimu tribe and make up for his past debts, but in the eyes of the tribe, he was so insignificant...
In the blink of an eye, one year passed.
The mountains where Hu'er Valley and Linghu Village are located have no seasonal changes and are still a summer and spring scene with lush vegetation.
Wen Gui, Guo Xuan, and Sheng Huaizi walked out of the cave one after another, stretching their muscles and looking at each other with a smile.
"Since arriving in the Demon Realm, I have never been so relaxed and comfortable!"
"It's just a short time
In one year, Brother Wen's cultivation has improved greatly! "
"We have reached the seventh level of Nascent Soul, so congratulations!"
"Haha, don't forget the saying that one day in Silver Bay is one year in the world. My current state is nothing compared to the two masters of the ninth level of Nascent Soul!"
"Based on this, you and I have been outside the territory for decades?"
"No less than fifty years!"
"I wonder how brother Yu is doing?"
"His cave has a formation, so he must be fine. All we can do now is wait patiently..."
While the three of them were in retreat in the wild to heal their wounds, they inevitably went out to take a breather, but they remembered the rules of Qiong Mountain and never left the valley again. But Wen Gui gradually couldn't bear the loneliness, exchanged glances with Guo Xuan and Sheng Huaizi, and flew upwards in a flash, reaching a hundred feet high in the sky.
"hehe!"
Wen Gui was overjoyed.
The so-called secret realm is no different from an ordinary place. If we just use the escape method and leave, I wonder if we can reach the demon realm directly.
And hundreds of miles away, something seems to be going on...
Wen Gui was still looking intently, but suddenly his magic power sluggished, and he couldn't help but fall down as he lost support under his feet. He screamed loudly in fright, and Guo Xuan and Sheng Huaizi, who were still looking up, were also dumbfounded. In the blink of an eye, he fell into the valley with a "plop" and hurriedly climbed up, only to see Qiong Shan coming towards him in anger——
"Brother Wen, how dare you break my rules?"
"Don't dare, don't dare!"
Wen Gui slapped the grass clippings on his body and waved his hands to apologize.
"Uuuu——"
Just at this time, several howls suddenly came from outside the valley. Although they were far apart, the low and melodious howls made people's scalp tighten and their souls tremble.
Qiong Shan's expression changed.
Guo Xuan and Sheng Huaizi looked at each other.
At this moment, chaotic voices were heard outside the valley.
Qiong Shan looked confused for a moment and said, "Brother Wen, can you come with me?"
Wen Gui also couldn't figure out the reason and asked in shock: "What's the matter?"
"The Kuimu tribe is invading Linghu Village, and the tribe is in trouble!"
"Kuimu tribe?"
Wen Gui was even more confused and said, "Could it be related to the two demon kings?"
"It has nothing to do with it!"
Qiong Shan's words are extremely positive.
Wen Gui immediately felt relieved, stretched out his hand and patted his chest, saying, "Since Brother Qiong has spoken, how can there be any reason for Wen to disobey him? Brother Guo is guarding Hu'er Valley here. Brother Sheng, you and I will go see and see the invading enemy." ——"
