"The shadow of war is like an ugly beast."
"It comes silently and gnaws at the soul of the world."
"In labor pain, crawling naked under the moonlit night."
"Then he flaps his wings and carries the fire of nightmares to the four voids of the earth."
"Broken wings hang human bones, and the shadow of terror covers the endless territory."
"Everywhere you go, ruins abound, and death dances."
"All things perish and are scattered throughout the ages."
"Alas……"
…
Han Feng and others followed Su Jianshuang into Qiuli Valley.
Walking out of the white mist, an old man with white eyes was sitting cross-legged under a tree, holding a yueqin in his hand, playing music with a pick, and singing in harmony.
His voice was whimpering, and the content contained a strong sense of deathly silence.
Han Feng used the "Emperor's Qi Watching Technique" to sense it, but he felt as if this person did not exist. The Qi was converging between the heaven and the earth, like fog, rain, and mountain wind.
Su Jianshuang led the way, noticed Han Feng and others looking at the old man, and explained softly:
"Senior Feng is a mysterious character brought back by Valley Master Xu. He likes to play some weird tunes at the entrance of the valley on weekdays. Please don't analyze it."
Senior Feng was completely blind, but his hearing seemed to be unaffected. He sat there and listened to Su Jianshuang talking about him, tilting his ears towards this direction with a serious look on his face.
Somehow, Han Feng felt that there was a strange power entangled in this man, which was somewhat familiar, but hard to recall.
Han Feng instinctively disliked this power, but had no ill feelings towards the blind old man.
The blind old man seemed to sense Han Feng's gaze, and nodded and smiled at Han Feng.
Han Feng smiled back.
After passing through the valley entrance where the old man was, you have truly entered the interior of [Qiushui Family].
[Qiushui Family] is located very deep in Shutong Mountain.
After passing through the mist-filled slit, I felt suddenly enlightened.
This is an organization founded by young people from Dongwulin who share the same philosophy. The number of people is only about twenty, but the environment inside is quite elegant.
Looking inside the valley, most of the buildings are made of bamboo, and very little wood is used.
The golden sunshine falls from the sky, and there is a youthful color below.
The only thing is that there aren't many people here, so it seems a bit lonely.
The young man in black robe had just finished being hunted, and he was in a good mood. He asked Su Jianshuang with a smile all the way:
"Sister Su, why doesn't Brother Xu come out?"
Su Jianshuang spoke and walked with a lotus-like temperament in the wind, and responded softly:
"Brother Xu was injured in a fight the day before yesterday and is currently in seclusion to recuperate."
As he spoke, he pointed to a bamboo building in front of him:
"If you committed a crime outside, just stay in the valley first. When your brother Xu comes out of confinement, he will naturally come to see you."
"I really didn't commit any crime...I really didn't kill that woman..."
The young man in black robe opened his mouth to defend.
"I didn't say you killed anyone, I said you offended Hailoudian."
"Tch, they Hailou Palace has the ability. If they have the ability, would they really try to touch me? I will ask my father to send troops to knock down the Whirlpool City when I get back!"
The young people were indignant.
But he saw that the woman in white shirt's eyes were getting colder and colder, like a cold spring in winter.
Being stared at by Su Jianshuang with such eyes, the black-robed young man's retorts became smaller and smaller, and finally he walked towards the bamboo building honestly.
Then Su Jianshuang turned around again and extended his hand to Han Feng and others:
"A few of you have brought news about General Xie. Please come to the front to discuss it in detail."
Han Feng nodded, then pointed to the Xu family father and son behind him:
"By the way, these two are from the Xu family in Daoyun City. A mysterious force attacked the Xu family a few days ago. Only two of them were left. They are old friends with Master Xu, so we came together."
Su Jianshuang looked at the Xu family father and son and sighed softly:
"Hey, I've already heard about the Xu family."
"But I won't hide it from everyone, Canglang had a duel with the mysterious Outland Xiantian outside the Riyue Pass a few days ago. Although he was lucky enough to win half a fight, he was injured by the strange alien energy. He is currently in retreat thinking about a solution."
"When he comes out of confinement, I will immediately notify him to meet you two."
Su Jianshuang's words were sincere, and Xu Dangyang and Xu Rong's father and son could naturally feel it.
The swordsman in gray pulled his son and bowed to the woman in white:
"Thank you so much, Miss Su."
Su Jianshuang nodded when he heard this, pointed to another bamboo building and said to the Xu family and his son:
"In this case, you two will stay here temporarily. I will send the servants in the valley to deliver your daily necessities."
After arranging the arrangements for the Xu family and his son, Su Jianshuang took Han Feng and others to continue in-depth.
"Mr. Ye please."
Han Feng nodded, thinking that it was true what Su Jianshuang said about the alien qi.
I should have a way... After dealing with the black mountains of ghosts and generals in Jiangnan Road of the Li Kingdom, Shaojun Qi, a mysterious young man from Zhongzhou, once gifted me a copy of "Yuwai Qi Guiding Scroll", which is a martial arts that can even be used by Buddha's enemies.
The energy of ignorance can be resolved, and it is not difficult to deal with ordinary alien energy.
What's more, this has been blessed by his own "Three Volumes of the God of War".
It's just that Han Feng stood there and was just thinking about whether to help the Qiuli Valley Master whom he had never met before.
Forget it, let’s talk about it later.
Su Jianshuang took Han Feng and his entourage all the way deep into Qiuli Valley, pointing straight to a lake in the valley.
A bamboo bridge is built on the lake with green bamboos, leading to the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
When we arrived at the pavilion in the middle of the lake, there was already a middle-aged swordsman carrying a long sword and a gunman carrying an iron box waiting here.
Han Feng felt that the martial arts aura of these two people was also extraordinary, the swordsman also had profound first-grade cultivation, and the gunman was also an extraordinary person of the second grade.
Su Jianshuang nodded to the two of them:
"You two, this is Mr. Ye Gucheng from Bei Wulin. He has brought information about General Xie Lan."
"Xie Yatou is guarding Yuxiong Pass, but she even asked people from the Northern Wulin to deliver a message? Could it be that... something has changed at Yuxiong Pass?"
The middle-aged swordsman asked questions.
Han Feng walked straight over, took out the letter Xie Lan asked him to send from his sleeve, and said at the same time:
"The situation in Yuxiong Pass is indeed not optimistic. Mingtu's plan almost captured General Xie, but there are also internal problems in Dongwulin. I think the Kong Qingtai Jin envoy who went to monitor it is very strange."
Su Jianshuang took the letter and opened it. She didn't shy away from Han Feng and read it directly. Then she passed it to the middle-aged swordsman and said:
"There are unknown forces making preparations at Yuxiong Pass... The current situation in Dongwulin is also unclear, and there are even more mysterious foreign lands that are infested... A catastrophic disaster is about to take shape..."
The swordsman and the gunman circulated the letter and frowned together.
Su Jianshuang looked calmer, but not much better, and bowed slightly to Han Feng:
"Sir, I have troubled you all the way to deliver the message. Please rest for a while in Qiuli Valley. I think Master Xu Valley will be very willing to get acquainted with you."
Han Feng wanted to say that he might be able to cure Valley Master Xu, but his identity was also a mystery at the moment, and speaking rashly would easily arouse suspicion.
Thinking of this, Han Feng just nodded.
After a long journey in Dongwulin, Han Feng and his party were tired, so they stayed in Qiuli Valley under the arrangement of Su Jianshuang.
Eat, rest, and wash away the fatigue from the journey.
Late at night, Han Feng walked out alone from the bamboo house where he lived.
Stroll through the Qiuli Valley and walk to the lake deep in the valley.
The calm water of the lake reflects the brilliant stars in the sky.
Since the Snow Mountain Questioning, Han Feng's state of mind has improved and he has gained a lot more freedom.
Taking advantage of the darkness, I decided to go out and enjoy the reward for delivering the news about Xie Lan.
[Complete the task: deliver the news of Xie Lan to the Qiu Shui family]
[Reward: Strange wine - Ice Burning]
Carrying the ice-burnt wine pot, Han Feng walked by the lake.
But I heard a faint cry.
Han Feng followed the sound and saw a young man in white sitting by the lake with his knees folded, crying quietly.
The whole family died overnight, and only myself and my father were left. He was also a poor child...
When Han Feng thought of this, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and strode forward.
Chapter completed!
