The darkness obscured all the movements of the figures. Only a pair of eyes like a faint fire flashed quietly in the forest, which looked a little scary. Especially when Lu Chen walked back, the pair of faint fires rushed over, making people's hearts tremble.

Lu Chen reached out and blocked the dog's head that A Tu was shaking his head and tail in the dark, and said angrily: "I can't see it normally. You stupid dog is quite scary at night."

"Wang, wang wool..." A Tu whispered twice, as if he was a little proud, not ashamed but proud.

Lu Chen shook his head helplessly and said, "Let's go."

Under the darkness, the figures of a man and a dog quietly left in the dark, like a ghost in the lonely mountains and fields.

After going down Longshan, it was still late at night outside, and Lu Chen did not immediately return to Crescent City. In fact, Crescent City had already been closed at this time. If he had not had the ability to fly in the air, he would not be able to enter the city even if he went back.

Lu Chen took A Tu to find a secluded place far away from Longshan, and then took out something from his arms, which was the object he had taken out from the cracks of the rocks in the forest. At this moment, looking at it with the faint starlight in the sky, it was a sealed letter.

Yellow paper and red wax seal, except for this, there are no marks or handwriting outside the envelope.

Lu Chen looked at the envelope in his hand in silence. After a moment, he tore open the seal expressionlessly, pulled out a piece of letter paper, and started looking.

Of course there were words on the letter paper, but only a few lines were left, and Lu Chen finished reading it quickly. When he saw the last sentence of the letter paper, his face, which had been very calm, suddenly changed. It was a very strange change, not anger, nor was it joy, as if it was a memory. Various emotions surged into his heart in an instant and passed through his eyes. His expression was so complicated at that moment, but in the end, everything finally returned to silence and silence.

"call……"

A sudden slight sound made Atu, who was lying beside Lu Chen, startled. When he turned around, he saw a small fire note lit in Lu Chen's hand, and then lit the letter paper together with the envelope.

The flames quickly swept up, swallowing the letter paper and burning it. The flames illuminated Lu Chen's face in the darkness and reflected in the depths of his eyes.

After a while, he sighed softly, whispered, and said, "The ghosts will not fade away!"

※※※

At dawn, when the first morning light had just shined in the sky, Lu Chen woke up, and without any hesitation or warning, he took A Tu to the south. Until Yuehu Gorge appeared in front of him, Lu Chen did not hesitate at all, and then walked away with big strides and re-entered the confused place.

As the black dog Atu didn't seem to have much resistance to returning to the old land. Instead, he looked very excited about the vast mountainous world. He ran around in front of Lu Chen, and wanted to smell the dog's nose everywhere. By the way, he found several towering trees to pee.

But no matter what, A Tu would not leave Lu Chen too far, and even followed him even closer than when he was in Crescent City, and almost never left Lu Chen's sight.

The route was the same as Lu Chen took Yi Xin and others to Heijia Mountain on the same day. So on the next day, Lu Chen and A Tu stood at the fork near Heijia Mountain again.

Atu stuck out his tongue, squatted on the ground, looking around, his expression seemed calm, and he was not excited to return to his hometown. Or maybe this stupid dog could not remember that the place not far from here might be its hometown.

Lu Chen looked at Heijia Mountain in the distance, but his face turned pale and walked towards another direction.

There, the deeper into the confused land.

In that direction, there is a past event buried in the years, full of blood, hatred and betrayal.

There is a deserted valley there.

※※※

Lu Chen and A Tu arrived at the deserted valley on the sixth day.

The dangers and difficulties encountered along the way are far better than the experience in Heijia Mountain that day. The monsters that appeared on the way quickly became stronger, especially the closer they were to the wild valley, the more powerful the various dangerous monsters were. Even the invisible signs of the confusion of the five elements spiritual power became much stronger.

Fortunately, Lu Chen seemed to be born with such dangerous gaps between mountains and fields. After avoiding ferocious monsters and many strange and dangerous situations, he brought A Tu to the outside of the valley.

The deserted valley is a desperate valley surrounded by mountains. There is only a narrow passage connecting the outside world. Since ancient times, there has been a strange force that has prevented all living beings from surviving here, so it has become the name of the deserted valley.

Ten years ago, the remnants of the Three Realms God Sects did evil here and tried to make a big deal, but were discovered by the Zhengdao True Immortal Alliance in advance, and sent a large army to siege and annihilate it, eliminating the ugly monsters and making the world a clearing atmosphere.

Legend has it that the battle in the past was shocking, causing the wind and clouds to change color, the mountains shaking, and the demons of the Demon Sect were seriously injured, but afterwards, the place was filled with evil spirits. Ordinary monks who were slightly weak in Taoism could not get close to them. It was rumored that the Demon Sect monk who died miserably on that day cast a poison curse before his death. Anyway, the valley was desolate, so after a long time, no one came at all.

When Lu Chen walked up the narrow mountain path, he looked at the familiar mountain terrain around him, a complex look flashed through his eyes, but when he reached the entrance that was about to enter the deserted valley, he suddenly stopped.

In my memory, there was a figure standing there at this moment on the hill beside the mountain road.

The mountain wind blew, and the clothes were flying.

Lu Chen was in a trance for a moment, as if he was seeing a handsome man in white, but the illusion was fleeting in a blink of an eye, and what caught his eye was a fat man standing in the wind...

"Hey!" The fat man stood on a high place, laughed and waved to Lu Chen, and shouted, "Long time no see."

Lu Chen tilted his mouth and watched the stupid and fat old horse jump off the hill, sneered, saying, "Why aren't you dead yet?"

Lao Ma said seriously: "It's wrong for you to do this. Everyone knows each other at least. They have been neighbors in a village for ten years. When you come up, you ask me if I'm dead. Can this friend do it?"

Lu Chen spitted for a moment and said, "If you are a friend, don't bother me."

Lao Ma shrugged and smiled bitterly: "If it were me, of course I wouldn't come to find you. Isn't there any way..."

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his face changed slightly, and he said, "You mean..."

Lao Ma glanced at the valley behind him and whispered: "He is here too."

Lu Chen's eyes twitched slightly, and a complex light flashed deep in the bottom of his eyes, standing there silently.

Lao Ma looked at his expression and wanted to speak but stopped. Finally, he sighed lightly, patted Lu Chen on the shoulder, and said, "Go in, he wants to see you."

Lu Chen lowered his head slightly and said nothing. After a long silence, he finally took a step and slowly walked into the deserted valley that had been uninhabited for a long time.

The towering cliff seemed to be a sharp sword that penetrated the sky, covering the sky and the sun, leaving only a shadow on the earth. Lu Chen quietly walked into the shadow again and gradually disappeared.
