Yegu is still some distance away from Zhanggou Village. There is no way to drive there, so we can only go there on foot.
Because it was almost evening when we arrived at Zhanggou Village, it got dark after we walked for a while.
After more than an hour, we followed a path to the vicinity of this wild valley. The yin energy was diffuse here, and we knew at first glance that something was not normal.
I directly deployed the power of my state of mind, and it was difficult to detect anything for a while.
Nangong Fanxong stood at the entrance of the wild valley and looked directly into the valley with the Eye of the Galaxy, but Hu Jiashu and White Wolf Chai Min did not move.
I asked Hu Jiashu why he didn't go find a plant and ask about it. He smiled at me and said, "The plants here are too common. It will probably take several days to ask. Let's go deeper into the valley and find some plants with high spiritual knowledge."
Ask a little bit, and besides, they may not know about the plants at the mouth of the valley."
At this time, Chai Min, the white wolf, seemed to want to do something, so she walked over slowly, poked her nose forward, and then sniffed the smell in the valley. She was a white wolf, so her sense of smell should be very keen!
At this time, I also used a flashlight to shine into the valley. Not only was it very dark, but it was also foggy. The wild valley seemed to be covered with a layer of gauze.
When I was shining my flashlight into the valley, White Wolf Chai Min suddenly said "Hey". I quickly asked her what was wrong, and at the same time subconsciously used the flashlight to shine into her eyes. I was stunned when I shined the flashlight.
A pair of eyes glowed with blue light. Although they were not as gorgeous as Nangong Fanxong's, they were somewhat enchanting, which shocked me. I didn't expect her eyes to be so beautiful in the dark.
When I shined the flashlight into her eyes, she subconsciously covered her eyes with her hands. I quickly moved the flashlight away and said, "Sorry, I didn't shake you!"
White Wolf Chai Min said: "It's okay, but next time you'd better not shine that light into my eyes, it's very uncomfortable!"
I nodded, apologized to White Wolf Chai Min again, and then asked her if she had discovered anything.
White Wolf Chai Min said: "I smelled a breath, it was the breath of the Ghost King. I have a high degree of recognition of Yin Qi, so I am sure that there was a Ghost King living in front of this wild valley, but..."
I quickly asked Chai Min, the white wolf, what happened.
She hesitated and said, "But the Ghost King seems to be dead, not alive!"
devil!?
When a ghost dies, doesn't it mean that the soul is scattered, or enters the path of reincarnation? Since the soul is dispersed, or enters the path of reincarnation, how can it still leave its breath?
At this time, Nangong Fanxong also turned around and asked the white wolf Chai Min: "Xiao Min, the ghost's breath should not remain for too long after it dies. Is it possible that the ghost you are sniffing just died?"
The name Xiao Min is Nangong Fan's exclusive title. Both Hu Jiashu and I have to use the full name "Chai Min", otherwise White Wolf Chai Min will be unhappy.
After hearing what Nangong Fan said, White Wolf Chai Min shook his head and said, "He didn't just die. The aura has been here for a while. I estimate it must be at least 2,670 years old!"
so long!?
Me, Nangong Fanxong and Hu Jiashu were stunned at the same time.
How is it possible that the residual aura of a ghost king who has dispersed or entered reincarnation can be preserved in this wild valley for more than two years?
After being silent for a while, I asked Nangong Fan Zong if he had made any special discoveries.
Nangong Fancong said: "There is an ancient road hidden in this valley. Although it has been washed away for thousands of years, the traces of the ancient road are buried under the soil. The ancient road goes directly to the end of the valley, and then crosses the mountains to the other side of the mountains."
I asked Nangong Fanzong: "Are there any traces of ancient roads outside this valley?"
Nangong Fancong shook his head and said: "The traces of the ancient road outside the valley have been completely washed away by wind and rain. Only this section in the valley is still completely preserved."
"The fact that this ancient road can be preserved should be related to the Yin Qi here."
"This is also the focus of our next investigation. As well as the Yin Qi discovered by Xiao Min, we'd better look for it. Maybe there is something special around the Yin Qi."
We nodded and walked into the valley.
That Yin Qi was mixed with the many Yin Qi in the entire valley, and it was a bit time-consuming for us to explore it bit by bit, so we followed the white wolf Chai Min and let her move forward by smelling the scent.
After a while, we reached the middle of the wild valley.
At this time, a gust of wind suddenly came up. This gust of wind was very cool and cheered me up.
After the gust of wind ended, I felt a coolness on my forehead, as if it was raining.
I looked up at the sky, it was very dark, and at the same time a few drops of rain fell on my face.
"It's raining!" I said.
Nangong Fancong said: "Don't talk nonsense, we feel it!"
After saying that, Nangong Fang asked White Wolf Chai Min if it would affect her judgment of smell after raining.
White Wolf Chai Min nodded and said: "Yes, in the rain, my judgment of smells will drop rapidly, but it doesn't matter, I have already found the gathering place of the Ghost King's Yin Qi, which is on the protruding part of the mountainside.
on the stone.”
We looked in the direction of the white wolf's finger.
The mountains on both sides of the middle section of the valley are still very steep. The cliffs on both sides are about a hundred meters high. On our left, about thirty meters above the ground, another huge rock protrudes from the cliff, probably outward.
It extends over one meter long.
White Wolf Chai Min is referring to that stone.
The height of more than thirty meters is not high for us. As soon as Chai Min, the white wolf, finished speaking, the four of us flew up at the same time, and then arrived at the boulder almost at the same time.
We also felt a special yin energy here. The yin energy lingered around the boulder, as if it had taken root on that stone.
When the four of us gathered around the stone, the Yin Qi around the boulder seemed to be disturbed. They collectively shrank and then tightly wrapped the stone. These Yin Qi were afraid!?
Are they conscious!?
I was stunned!
Nangong Fancong also frowned and said nothing, while White Wolf Chai Min said: "It's right here, have you felt the strange Yin Qi, do you want me to break this stone with one palm?"
!?"
White Wolf Chai Min is very strong.
Back then, the cellars by the Longbachiwatong River were all collapsed by her claws, let alone this stone.
When I heard White Wolf Chai Min say this, I quickly stopped her.
Although White Wolf Chai Min is kind-hearted, he lacks experience in handling cases. Just like me when I first entered the industry, I have no idea what to do when.
At this time, Hu Jiashu slowly said: "There is no doubt that the Yin Qi grows on this stone. If you feel it carefully, have you noticed that the weak spiritual energy in the mountain is slowly gathering on this stone?
Then this stone is transported to the Yin Qi that grows on it, and these Yin Qi have been preserved until now by relying on the aura of the mountain."
"These yin energy seem to have become some kind of plant in the underworld."
I asked what kind of plant it was.
Hu Jiashu said: "I can't name the new species. It has no entity and is completely composed of Yin energy. It grows on rocks in the Yang world and absorbs the spiritual energy of the Yang world. This kind of plant can be said to be from the underworld. It can be said that it is from the underworld."
There’s nothing wrong with the earthly world.”
"In short, this kind of thing is a new species that we have never seen before!"
I couldn't help but add: "Chai Min said that it was the aura left by the Ghost King. Did the Ghost King go through something after death, and then the aura it left behind became what it is now?"
Hu Jiashu nodded.
Nangong Fancong said: "You said nonsense, you must have experienced something. Otherwise, the Yin Qi would have dissipated long ago, how could it stay?"
While we were studying around the stone, the rain from the sky gradually began to fall. The rain carried a lot of breath from the sky, and those breaths nourished the earth and replenished the mountain with spiritual energy.
So after it rains, the spiritual energy of the mountain becomes more abundant. When the spiritual energy is sufficient, the Yin Qi on the stone absorbs the spiritual energy faster. It was originally curled up on the stone, but now it suddenly begins to relax slowly.
Seems very happy.
And after it realizes that we don't hurt it, it gradually becomes less afraid of us.
This thing is said to be a plant, but why does it seem to have consciousness, similar to the consciousness of animals, and it is still moving? Could it be some new animal growing on the stone?
Thinking of this, I asked Hu Jiashu if this was possible.
He said: "It's not impossible, but based on my feelings about plants for many years, I feel that the smell of these yin plants is heavier and more like plants!"
Hu Jiashu is an expert in this field, so naturally we have to listen to his conclusions. Those of mine are all my guesses.
At this moment, the white wolf Chai Min's furry ears suddenly twitched, as if he heard something.
Without waiting for me to ask questions, she turned her head and looked down the valley.
We also discovered a group of Yin soldiers in the rain curtain, and under the erosion of the rain, a looming ancient stone path appeared on the valley floor.
Ancient road?! Bandits!?
Now they all show up!
It stands to reason that our mission would have been accomplished if we had dealt with those Yin soldiers and found out the looming secrets of the ancient roads and ancient gate towers here. But now the situation is different, and there is another mysterious Yin Qi plant.
And I can feel that this Yin Qi plant is closely related to everything in this valley, and those Yin soldiers may even be active under the influence of this Yin Qi plant.
In other words, the reason why those Yin soldiers have been able to live here for so many years is maintained by the Yin Qi produced by Yin Qi plants.
If there was no Yin Qi here, the Yin Qi would have dissipated long ago.
Just when I was thinking about these things, in addition to the ancient road appearing in the rain, the tall gatehouse also appeared. It was at the narrowest place at the entrance of the valley, and we had already arrived behind the gatehouse!
Seeing the appearance of the gatehouse, Nangong Fansong suddenly said three words: "Little underworld!"
Little underworld? What do you mean!? (To be continued)
