The Great Bowl Country was in war, or because everyone knew that 'the closer you are to the three major forces, the easier it is to be harmed', so when Zhang Baoer walked into the inner circle of the Silent Valley forces, he didn't meet anyone. Many towns and villages were full of people.
null.
He went all the way to the village he had agreed with Granny Aoki. This village was deserted like other places. He passed through a farmland and followed the winding river up several mountains. Then he saw the secret.
small valley.
Because Grandma Aoki said that this place was not absolutely safe, they were not in a hurry to enter and walked around outside.
"It's strange..."
After confirming that Yanxin and others had been here, Zhang Baoer frowned because he found that no living people were found in the valley, and there was no smell of blood.
After seeing that the door of the thatched cottage was half open from a distance, he let Erha go in.
Creak!
The door was pushed open by him, but it was empty and there was nothing inside!
"Where are the people?!"
His brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and he quickly walked in to check.
"Eh?! The charcoal ash is still new...there were still people there yesterday or the day before yesterday...many traces of people's lives!"
After discovering that there had been a fire here not long ago and there were no traces of a struggle, he stood up and planned to look around to see which direction they were leaving. At this moment, he found that his sleeve was being held by Cai'er.
"Cai'er, what's wrong?"
Cai'er didn't speak, her face remained expressionless, and she pointed at the charcoal graffiti behind the door.
"Eh?!"
Zhang Baoer's eyes suddenly lit up. The graffiti looked nothing at first glance, just like a child's random drawings; but he saw the doorway - it looked like a boat, with the bow facing the northeast.
"Northeast? That's right! That's the direction of Silent Valley! They went to Silent Valley... Also, there was a woman standing on the bow of the boat. It was a woman who took them there? Granny Qingmu?!"
The ship immediately reminded him of Patriarch Yun's spaceship, which further made him realize that they were taken away by someone.
"Huh...it's okay!"
Regardless of whether Granny Aoki will be angry when he leaves, just because Granny Aoki wants to accept the message and become a disciple, Granny Aoki will not hurt them - if the woman standing on the bow is really Granny Aoki
.
But, the next moment Zhang Baoer became nervous again, because he found that the woman did not have a cane, and
"Why not write? Or is this painting really just random graffiti? If it is intentional, then why... hmm?! Do you think they are worried about being discovered?!"
Thinking of this, Zhang Baoer stopped thinking. The Silent Valley was not far away. He decided to go to the Silent Valley. Even if Yanxin and the others were not in the Silent Valley, he could ask his cheap senior sister to help find them.
"Good boy, let's go!"
"oh!"
Immediately, the two of them walked out of the door hand in hand, jumped on the back of the unicorn horse, and then followed the road out of the valley toward the northeast.
"Huh?! Erha, wait!"
After leaving the valley, the unicorn was about to let go and run wildly, but Zhang Baoer quickly stopped it because he saw a piece of rag on the ground.
He jumped off the horse and picked it up. After thinking for a while, his eyes lit up and he blurted out:
"Is this the hem of Yan Xin's suit?!"
Thinking of this, he became more and more certain that they were heading northeast, but he didn't know whether they were going to Silent Valley.
Then, he jumped on the horse again and said to the unicorn:
"Erha, walk along the road, slower!"
The reason for this was because he wanted to see if there were any other traces on the road, so that if they suddenly turned around, there would be a direction to look for.
"Hoo ho!"
The unicorn horse was a little unhappy. This guy loved running except for hunting, eating meat and sleeping. Hearing that he couldn't go too fast, he was naturally a little frustrated, but he still did it. After all, if Zhang Baoer was angry, he wouldn't do it well.
The gain outweighs the loss of food...
Zhang Baoer was speechless. After spending a long time with it, he naturally understood roughly what it was thinking, so he comforted him with a wry smile:
"Stop chirping, I'll prepare something delicious for you when it's over."
After hearing this, Mr. Unicorn became happy and his posture became more gentlemanly as he hurried on.
…………
Silent Valley is not an ordinary valley as it seems. The reason why it can be used as the foundation of a sect naturally has its own uniqueness.
Its unique feature is that there is a spiritual spring deep in the valley, which constantly sprays water mist with rich spiritual energy, making the valley covered with thick fog all year round, making it difficult to see its true appearance from the outside.
The origin of the word "silent" is not because it is related to the word "dead silence", but because the first valley owner was deaf.
This deaf man was talented and extremely powerful, but his mentality was not very good. Because he could not hear any sound, he not only named the valley Silent Valley, but also forbade anyone to speak loudly in the valley.
Perhaps the succeeding Valley Master got used to it or thought silence was good, so the rules he set have not changed to this day. The first rule of the Silent Valley is: no talking loudly!
In addition to the above two reasons, some people think there is a third reason. The third reason is: the first Valley Master, Qu Wusheng, may not be dead.
Because eight thousand years ago, everyone thought that Qu Wusheng was dead, but five thousand years ago, Qu Wusheng walked out of Lingquan's eyes. At that time, the Valley Master and the big bosses thought that there was an enemy attack and wanted to surround him.
To kill him, who would have thought that Qu Wusheng only waved his sleeves and they were defeated. Qu Wusheng did not kill them and left alone. After reading the classics, those people found out that he was the founder of Silent Valley.
Based on this incident, although Silent Valley declined, no one paid attention to it.
But... this was before, because some time ago, the current owner of the valley was assassinated.
Zhang Bao'er was riding on a one-horned horse, looking at the valley shrouded in white thick fog from a distance. His eyes widened and his mouth grew wide, and his mouth watered unknowingly.
"The aura is so rich, it's more than a hundred times that outside, isn't it? If you can practice inside...huh?!"
He was suddenly startled, and subconsciously looked down, only to see Cai'er reaching out to wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and his face turned red.
She quickly and embarrassedly took out a hand pat to help Cai'er wipe off her own saliva on her hand.
"Erha, let's go!"
As he got closer, he was suddenly startled, because he found that there were many houses in the forest before the valley. Although many people lived there, no one made a sound.
In front of these houses, there is no wall, but there is a white jade stone door. The jade stone door is very large, more than three feet high and nearly six feet wide, but there is no door because this door is a gatehouse door.
Since it is noon now, the sky is cloudless, and the sunlight is shining directly, making this door look luxurious and grand, especially the three characters "Silent Valley" engraved on the top with a stylus and a silver hook. Because it is silver, it is dazzling and eye-catching.
There is a sense of beauty and solemnity.
Outside the door, six young people stood side by side, three on the left and three on the right. In the middle was a bluestone avenue five or six feet wide that led to the southwest and led inside.
This avenue branches off a few miles away, and the road at the bottom of the hill where Zhang Baoer is located is one of them.
After glancing at those people and seeing that there were no pedestrians on the road, Zhang Baoer urged his horse down the mountain and walked along the path onto the main road.
There are many traces on the road, many of which are still fresh, which proves that not long ago there was an endless stream of people and cars walking here, but now it is very empty, and not a single pedestrian can be seen from a distance.
"Maybe it's because the Silent Valley announced its closure... But, having said that, the Silent Valley is a bit chaotic now. Birds in the same forest will all fly away, let alone people! Haha, Erha, just walk straight over, I
Zhang Baoer is also the elder’s younger brother after all!”
Thinking of his status, Zhang Baoer did not hesitate and let the unicorn walk on a smooth road for once.
Worried about being recognized and causing unnecessary trouble, he had already put on a disguise, as had Unicorn and Cai'er.
He has a mustache, a gray felt hat, black long shoes, and white leather pants. If it hadn't been for the hot weather, he would have already put on the light green animal fur coat in his space ring, completing his look.
Image of the Earth's Governor.
Cai'er was relatively simple, only wearing a bamboo hat covered with black gauze. Zhang Baoer saw that the black gauze hanging down from the bamboo hat had blocked her face, so he suggested that she hide the blue mask, but... Cai'er didn't
Listen to him.
The Unicorn Horse is complicated. Not only is the whole body covered by animal skin, but also a simple pavilion is fixed on the body. The translucent white sand hangs down from the upper frame and flutters in the wind. It sounds very cool, but in fact it is not, because
Zhang Baoer didn't invite anyone, he just arranged it himself.
Although this weight is nothing to the unicorn horse, the weather is too hot, and it keeps moving. The black one eye has dimmed, and it walks reluctantly. If Zhang Baoer hadn't promised it
If it's a good thing, it would have stopped working long ago.
It stepped onto the bluestone avenue unhurriedly and walked straight towards the white jade stone door.
"stop!"
Just when it was still ten feet away from the jade gate, one of the six people ordered it to stop.
Zhang Baoer ignored it, so it naturally ignored it and kept walking forward!
"stop!"
This time, the six people shouted in unison. Not only that, they also tightened their grip on their swords or sword hilts. Although their standing postures did not change, anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were ready to attack. As long as the leader
As soon as the senior brother in his thirties gave the order, they would come in a wild goose formation to kill him.
Zhang Baoer did not stop immediately, and the one-horned horse walked forward a few feet. When he was still three feet away from those people and they were about to take action, he reached out and patted the one-horned horse on the back to make it stop, and then
Said lazily:
"Who is in charge?"
Since the others did not show up, and their voices were unfamiliar and somewhat arrogant, the six people who could only see two vague figures through the white gauze suddenly felt a little nervous, because people who did not take them seriously were often big shots.
So the senior brother who was the leader winked at the five people, then took his hands off the sword, took a step forward and answered with cupped hands:
"Cheng Xiong, an elite disciple from the outer sect of Silent Valley, has met this friend!"
"Easy to say, easy to say..."
Zhang Baoer's voice was casual, and when the man realized that he was not taken seriously because of his status as an 'elite disciple', he became increasingly panicked and quickly said:
"The Silent Valley is closed, outsiders are at a loss! I don't know if you are from my valley. If so, please show me your token. If you have five tokens, please return."
Hearing this, Zhang Baoer was stunned. Granny Qingmu had never given him any token.
After thinking for a while, he said coldly:
"Someone, it has been two hundred years since I left the valley, and the token has been lost... Okay, okay, I won't have any trouble waiting for you. Go find Granny Qingmu and tell her that her junior brother is back."
"Elder Aoki?"
"Junior brother?!"
Cheng Xiong was frightened both physically and mentally. He woke up suddenly and quickly waved his hand to silence the people behind him. He bowed again and begged in a low voice:
"please……"
Since he was not sure about Zhang Baoer's identity, he paused, then skipped the title and continued:
"The rules are strict, I hope you understand... Is there anything to prove your identity? Our status is too low to dare..."
Zhang Baoer snorted coldly and interrupted him:
"Go quickly! Is it okay for someone to take responsibility for something?!"
How could it not be possible? They all heard that the man was already angry. Since he had said so, what did they have to worry about?
"Okay, okay..."
Cheng Xiong was already sweating on his forehead. After smiling apologetically, he quickly looked at the five people behind him, then nodded to one of them, and that person immediately turned around and ran away.
"Thank you for your understanding, sir. Please wait here for a moment..."
"Um……"
Zhang Baoer gave a noncommittal hum and said no more.
The one-legged horse hated the sun, so he left the spot and walked towards a big tree nearby. The five people only frowned slightly and did not stop him.
…………
Time passed slowly, and about ten minutes later, a young man with triangular eyes, who was wearing white Xuanyi clothing, silver shoes, hair tied in white satin, nostrils pointing up, and looked like a human and a dog, was ran away just now.
The person who went in led them out, and behind them were three young people who held their heads high and looked reserved. The four new people all had a white token hanging on their waist, with the word '内' written on it.
.
Looking at this twenty-five or six-year-old young man from a distance, Zhang Baoer couldn't help but be stunned, because this person was not Granny Qingmu, and could not be in disguise, because he remembered the aura of Granny Qingmu.
"If this person is Granny Aoki's family, then he will be in trouble, because this elder is unhappy with him!"
Zhang Baoer couldn't help but murmur, because this person made him have the urge to beat others. He was only at the middle stage of Jindan cultivation, and he dared to be so arrogant. It was really outrageous!
"Where's the liar?!"
The triangular-eyed man stopped as soon as he walked out, then raised his head and looked sideways in all directions, and asked in a faint voice.
