Outside Yecheng Town, a group of people on horseback left the city gate and headed east to the Valley of the Dead.
The cavalry of nearly fifty people was led by a young man who was about twenty years old and dressed in bright clothes. He was wearing a white robe and fighting against the frost and snow. There was a three-foot spiritual sword hanging on the left side of the saddle.
The sky was full of wind and snow, which could not stop the group of people.
Different from the gloomy eyes of the group of people, the eyes of the young man on the horse were still calm, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised in a curve.
In his eyes, the windy sky was just to see him off and serve as his foil.
The soldiers guarding the city gate looked at the departing group coldly, with no sadness or joy in their eyes, as if they were just leaving a group of walking corpses.
What does it have to do with them?
The cold air of winter rolled up, and a line of frost hung between the eyebrows of the group of people.
At this moment, more than ten days have passed since Li Xiuyuan left Yecheng, and there have been several life-and-death battles outside Longmen Pass.
This moment is the coldest moment in the Valley of the Dead.
"Everyone knows that we just went out today." The young man on the horse said with a smile: "We all know that the things in the Valley of the Dead have nothing to do with me. We are just going to explore the Tianyao Mountain."
The war horse roared, as if applauding its master's idea.
"Young master, we are going to the Tianyao Mountain to avenge our dead brothers!" the black-clothed monk behind him said in a solemn voice.
"Don't talk nonsense. Those who died have nothing to do with us. Our trip is an adventure."
"Yes, everything that happened before has nothing to do with Young Master."
The young man then smiled with satisfaction and said, "Let's look forward to what we can gain from this trip to Tianyao Mountain."
"Of course it's time to subdue demons and eliminate demons. All demons and ghosts that stand in our way must be eliminated one by one." A group of monks behind us burst into laughter.
"It seems like we can return from this trip with a full load."
Just a slow sentence, as if talking about family matters, has already told the truth about the Valley of the Dead, and decided the final outcome of Li Xiuyuan and the four of them.
It was not until three days after the group left that the men in black from Longmen Pass hurriedly broke into Yecheng, covered in wind and snow, found the city lord's mansion here, and inquired about the whereabouts of Master Zhuge and his group.
After learning that the group had left Yecheng a few days ago, the man in black looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's not as good as God."
"But... the Valley of the Dead is not that easy to break into, let alone the Tianyao Mountain later." Yecheng's guard frowned and said: "Everyone who participated in the battle of the Valley of the Dead has died! "
The man in black shook his head and smiled bitterly, and after a while he said, "Are those girls and that boy dead?"
General Ye Chengan's eyebrows suddenly showed a hint of fanaticism, "And if I guessed correctly, that young man is probably not that simple... I admire him more and more. He can actually escape from the Valley of the Dead." Get out alive.”
The man in black's lips were dry. He knew who the guard admired.
And deep down, I was shocked by the general's inference. If the truth of the matter was really like this, then Zhuge Xiongfeng and his party would be in grave danger.
If this is the case, I am afraid that even Generalissimo Zhuge will be dragged into this pool of sewage.
There is going to be a storm on the Shura battlefield.
The cause turned out to be just three girls and one ant-like boy.
But he couldn't be sure about this. After a while, he frowned and said, "I heard from the news that none of the monks who left before survived?"
The guard looked at him and murmured back: "I don't know how many people they left, but no one came back. Many people in the city know this, and I don't want to drag him down."
The man in black sighed and said: "It seems that everyone is thinking that the young man is dead. I really don't know how this matter will be handled in the end."
"I'm afraid the commander-in-chief will have to intervene in this matter in the end." The guard said calmly: "If the young master goes here,
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Tianyao Mountain, let that young man take care of it again... If things turn to the worst, what will the commander do? "
The man in black slowly released his clenched fist, keeping a gentle smile on his face, but there was a hint of disdain in his words.
"I have always been in awe of him, but I also know clearly that he has a fatal weakness."
An Jiang didn't dare to answer the question for a while.
"He is too spoiled by the young master." The man in black said coldly: "A delicate soldier will be defeated."
There is no doubt that Zhuge Yuanying has a cultivation level that is unmatched by anyone else on the Shura battlefield, but he only guessed part of the story about the sniper attack in the Valley of the Dead.
As for the most fundamental reason, I'm afraid no one knows it except Zhuge Xiongfeng.
Even he, the guard in charge of Yecheng's security, didn't know.
Between life and death, good and evil thoughts, it turns out that the most fundamental reason is Zhuge Yuanying's connivance towards his juniors.
Until many years later, when the grown-up Li Xiuyuan faced Zhuge Yuanying, he still didn't understand what he had done wrong?
Who's elders don't pamper their own children?
...
I dragged it again and again, just like a snail.
Li Xiuyuan still took Nangong Ruyu and the others out of the Valley of the Dead and set foot on the mountain road to Tianyao Mountain.
Although Nangong Wenyu asked again and again, even though Xiaoqing and Xiaolonger complained every day that they were either freezing to death or crawling on the ground like snails, which was boring.
Because the three women all hate the cold in the Valley of the Dead.
However, Li Xiuyuan wanted to bury another person in the Valley of the Dead.
After a long journey, the four of them had left the Valley of the Dead a hundred miles away before going dark. Xiaoqing found a cave that was not too remote. This was the best place to spend the night.
It will be night.
According to his previous work and rest habits, Li Xiuyuan should be making tea and barbecue at this time. Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but laugh when he thought of his life over the years and the habits he had developed in the back hills of the academy.
He looked at the three of them and said, "Have a good sleep tonight."
After leaving the Valley of the Dead, the four of them seemed to have returned from hell to heaven, from cold winter to spring.
The four of them didn't want to experience that feeling of being woken up by the cold even if they lit a big fire at night.
The coals of fire have risen.
With Li Xiuyuan here, the three girls never have to worry about food.
After making two cups of tea, Li Xiuyuan began to marinate the meat to prepare the barbecue for dinner in the evening. These were the monsters that Xiaoqing and Xiaolonger had brought back from their cats these days.
Nangong Ruping glanced at Xiao Long'er and said, "Xiao Long'er, you don't do anything, you just wait around the master and wait to eat."
Xiao Long'er raised his head and looked at her and said, "I don't want to either? Wait until Xiao Long'er grows up to learn barbecue from his brother. Now we have to do it. It's also a matter for the eldest sister and the second sister."
Seeing Xiao Long'er being so unreasonable, Li Xiuyuan didn't say anything, just lowered his head and started a fire to prepare the barbecue.
"Sister Xiaoqing, what happened today? Why do you lower your head and don't want to talk?"
Nangong Ruyu looked at Xiao Qing who was sitting quietly on the side and asked in confusion. You must know that Xiao Qing used to be a lively guy.
Xiaoqing glanced at her and said nothing.
She just wanted to have a hearty meal and then have a good sleep. Today she finally didn't have to worry about being woken up by the cold.
"Don't worry about the second sister, let's eat ours and eat all these barbecues, don't worry about her."
Xiao Longer accepted the barbecue handed over by Li Xiuyuan, regardless of how Xiao Qing and Nangong Ruyu were doing, he chuckled and took a bite of the golden barbecue.
Xiao Qing looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "Would you like to have a drink?"
Li Xiuyuan, Nangong Ruyu, and Xiao Long'er were all stunned and looked at Xiao Qing's start. Although it is best to have a drink in this cold weather, no one knows whether there will be unknown dangers coming behind us.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Li Xiuyuan took a breath, took out half a jar of wine and said, "Since we have left the Valley of the Dead, let's have a drink to warm ourselves up."
"Brother, I want to drink too."
"Master, Yu'er hasn't had a drink for many days."
"Li Xiuyuan, come on quickly."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the three of them and smiled, thinking that although taking the three girls with him was a lot of trouble, it was also a lot of fun. It seemed that his choice was correct.
So he took out four cups, and each of them poured a cup.
It was snowing in the evening, and there was wine, meat, and stories.
At the moment, he is not short of wine, let alone meat, so the four of them will not rush to fight for it. Instead, they will quietly stay by the fire and wait for the aroma of barbecue to get angry.
Until Xiao Longer touched his belly and stopped moving.
In the end, Xiao Qing was left reading: "There are still a lot of barbecues, Xiao Long'er, you can't let go... Hurry, eat one more piece."
Nangong Ruyu, who had eaten and drank enough, was satisfied. She glanced at the three of them and said, "It's a pity that I can't eat anymore, otherwise I will have to eat one more piece of meat and drink one more glass of wine."
After saying that, he put down his wine glass and waited for Li Xiuyuan to speak.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the three women and said, "We are walking so slowly and there are no pursuers behind us. I don't believe they will stop here."
Nangong Ruyu nodded.
"Master, are you afraid that the monks in Yecheng will follow us to cause trouble for those in the Valley of the Dead? How about we change places and not go to Tianyao Mountain?"
Xiao Qing said: "Aren't you going to see Tianyao Mountain?"
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said lightly: "What are you afraid of? I'm still afraid that they won't come."
Hearing what Li Xiuyuan said, Xiao Long'er didn't care, but Xiao Qing and Nangong Ruyu were reluctant because they didn't want to see Li Xiuyuan try his best again and get injured.
"Are you afraid that I will get hurt again? It won't happen again."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the three women and said with a smile: "I'm not that stupid. Will I be stupid? I will fight against them again and again. At least I won't be stupid until I break through."
He has many means, and as long as he doesn't want to go all out, no one on the Shura battlefield can force him to go all out.
At worst, dig another big pit to bury people on Tianyao Mountain.
"As long as they are not afraid of death, I guarantee that no one can leave Tianyao Mountain alive." Li Xiuyuan laughed like the spring breeze in March or the full moon on an autumn night.
Nangong Ruyu looked at him and said seriously: "Yu'er and the master will set up a large formation on Tianyao Mountain. If they want our lives, they must keep their lives."
"Let's dig a big hole together on Tianyao Mountain. We'll bury as many as there are." Xiao Qing is a guy who is not afraid of trouble.
"Xiao Long'er and his brother are together. If bad guys come, they will be set on fire!" Xiao Long'er said with a smile: "Just like in the Valley of the Dead, Xiao Long'er likes a lot of spiritual stones."
Then the four of them laughed. Neither Li Xiuyuan nor Nangong Ruyu would refuse the spiritual stone that was delivered to them, even though his practice would not be of use at all.
But the three women can use it, and he can take the points and give them to his friends outside Longmen Pass who are fighting against the demon.
"If they still don't give up and want to cause trouble for us." Li Xiuyuan said calmly: "Then we might as well rob their spiritual stones and buy you new dresses."
"We still have friends in Longmen Pass, and they also need these spiritual stones to practice and break through."
Li Xiuyuan took another sip of wine, looked at the three women and said with a smile: "I won't have too many spiritual stones. If you have more, you can give them away."
Nangong Ruyu looked at him and sighed, and said quietly: "Senior sister and sister Li Yun are here at Longmen Pass. I will go visit them to play some other day."
Li Xiuyuan looked at Xiao Qing and asked: "That guy Chu Feng should be with Chu Feiyan and Princess Qingyue. Do you want to go and have a look?"
Xiaoqing thought for a while and then replied: "I'll go if you go."
