Suddenly hearing the voice of a child coming from the depths of the dense fog and poisonous miasma, Wang Dalu and others were a little startled and suspicious. They summoned up their energy and held the sword tightly in their hands without thinking about it. They all raised their swords to prepare for the enemy.
Before they could wait long, the snow-white fox that had just bumped into them barked twice in the direction of the foggy sound.
The thick fog in front of everyone suddenly dispersed, and a young child of about seven or eight years old ran out.
This little boy had a pair of horns on his head and a small face as smooth as ruby. He was wearing a large green jumpsuit and was holding a green leaf of an unnamed plant in his hand.
The green leaf was about the size of a palm and was green and green. Some of it was damaged. If you look closely, you can see that there is a line of tooth marks on the incomplete area. Looking at the child's chipped teeth, you can tell that the remaining corner on the green leaf must have been bitten off by him.
The young boy didn't seem to be afraid of Wang Dalu and the others. He knelt down to call back the white fox and asked.
"Where did you guys come from? This place has almost reached the center of the mist and miasma. It is very dangerous."
When Wang Dalu saw that the visitor was a child, and heard what he said, he should always be walking around this miasma, but he was very surprised that this child had not cultivated the wild elixir vitality, so how could he be in this place where the miasma was raging?
Travel without hindrance.
Master Li still had a womanly nature. She liked the child very much when she first saw him, so she walked up to him and said softly.
"Where are you a child, why do you appear here?"
The children liked the beauty Li Shishi very much, and they talked about many things that Wang Dalu and others had never heard.
It turns out that this miasma seems to be extremely dense, but there is a secluded valley three or four miles away from here. Seventy or eighty families live in the valley, and they live in the dense miasma all year round for the rest of their lives.
The child said again.
"The fox in his arms can smell the scent of strangers in the fog. Today, the little fox suddenly felt that there are no outsiders here all year round. The child was so happy that he decided to follow the white fox here to see what was going on."
The few people discussed it, and Wang Dalu wanted to ask about the reason for the fog in the forest, but the child just shook his head and covered his mouth without talking.
No matter how Wang Dalu asked, he could not get an answer from the child.
Everyone knew that they couldn't stay here for long, so they proposed to go to the valley to see it.
The child's surname was Chen and his nickname was Tian'er. After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't resist Master Li's nice words and decided to take a few of them to the valley to have a look.
He then gave the green leaves in his hand to Wang Dalu and several others to hold in their mouths. These green leaves were called unshakable green lotus and were blooming in the valley. Because of their existence, the valley was clear and bright, and the sun and the moon were bright day and night.
Several people held the leaves in their mouths and felt a coolness and clarity in their bodies. After dissipating their vitality, they found that the poisonous miasma had spiritually avoided the whole body by a foot.
Tian'er and the white fox lead the way ahead, driving away the fog and running away.
Wang Dalu and others followed Tian'er's footsteps closely, and after walking a few miles, they saw the thick fog disappearing on a trail ahead, which was eye-catching.
When we came out of the path where the dense fog dissipated, there was a vast and dark light at the end.
A canyon with a radius of several thousand feet appeared in front of everyone.
Through the moonlight and candlelight, you can vaguely see the dense green leaves in the valley, the clear streams and stone houses everywhere, and a huge waterwheel making a gurgling sound, pulling the clear stream water to irrigate more than ten acres of wheat fields in the distance.
In the fields, the malts are green and vigorous, and a dozen people are working in the fields, eradicating weeds and abandoned seedlings.
Tian'er was busy greeting the people in the valley, who were shocked, frightened and curious when they saw several unfamiliar faces following Tian Tian.
Those with sharper eyes hurriedly ran to the deep valley with torches to report the news.
Wang Dalu and others followed Tian'er while listening to him talk about some trivial things in the valley.
There are two valley owners in this valley, they are very virtuous and they always speak the truth in the valley.
However, it is precisely because of the protection of these two valley owners that the people in the valley can live a stable life.
Speaking of this, a hint of timidity appeared on Tian'er Huaner's cheek, fearing that her grandfather, the owner of the valley, would be displeased and scolded if he brought outsiders to the valley without permission.
Li Shishi saw Tian'er's thoughts and comforted him by saying that he and others were fascinated by the poisonous miasma. Thanks to his rescue, they could stay in the valley for one night and tomorrow the miasma would lessen and they would go back to the original route without disturbing them.
After listening to Master Li's words, Tian'er felt relieved and took them to see his grandfather and let them stay overnight.
In fact, Tian'er has never seen the world outside Lin Wu since he was born and is very curious about it. He has also heard the down-and-out people taken in by the valley say that the outside world is very surprising.
He wanted Master Li to tell him anecdotes and strange stories about the outside world in the evening.
The few people chatted and walked not far before they saw a dozen people walking out in front of them, including men, women, old and young.
Judging from their clothing, they are all natives of the valley, but some of them have obvious vigilance and uneasiness in their eyes.
Standing in front of this group of people were two gray-haired old men. One was fat, one was thin, one was tall, and the other was short. Although their bodies looked like they were in their prime, their eyes were focused and clear.
The two valley owners brought the farmers to Wang Dalu and several others. Na Tian'er lowered his head and walked up to the squatty valley owner on the left, as if admitting his mistake.
The short, fat old man showed a kind smile, caressed the horns on Tian'er's head and shook his head to indicate that it was okay.
Tian'er was very happy to see that his grandfather did not blame him. He looked at the tall and thin old man on the right who was also kind and kind, and said to Wang Dalu and others.
"I don't know that some distinguished guests came to Bigu, but they were greeted at a distance."
After saying that, the two Gu Gu unexpectedly saluted Wang Dalu and others.
Wang Dalu quickly returned the courtesy and said something like "I don't dare to bother you".
One of the two ancient masters is named Ju and the other is Chen. The old man surnamed Chen is Tian'er's biological grandfather.
Tian'er's parents died when he was young, and Cheng Huan lived in the lap of his grandfather. He usually liked to listen to things outside and begged his grandfather many times to take him out for a walk to satisfy his curiosity.
Wang Dalu and others talked with the two valley owners for a while. Since it was getting dark, they asked someone to clear out a clean grain house and let Wang Dalu and others stay temporarily.
Tian'er begged his grandfather, Mr. Chen, to allow him to stay with Wang Dalu and his friends and listen to Master Li talk about outside things.
Nie Zi patrolled outside and did not sense any danger.
Seeing that everyone was tired after a long day, Wang Dalu blew out the lamps and extinguished the wax to let everyone rest.
Only Li Shishi lay beside Tian'er, listening to her story attentively.
When Tian'er hears about wonderful places, she always smiles like a silver bell.
Wang Dalu and the others were asleep and snoring, while the two valley owners were discussing matters in the room.
The furnishings in the room are simple, and there is still half-burned old wax that scatters light.
The two old men were sitting at a stone table, meditating quietly.
Every night in the valley, there will be dark winds blowing, causing the firelight to sway.
The old man surnamed Ju slowly spoke.
"Brother Chen, you and I have been in this valley for a hundred and twenty years. Who knows that much of the valley has remained unchanged, but the outside world has been transformed day by day."
The old man surnamed Chen also seemed to have something to say, and thought about it for a while before speaking.
"I think those people are all extraordinary, especially the one-armed old man. Although his Taoism is not obvious, his face has a clear light, which makes people dare not look at him for a long time."
The old man surnamed Ju responded.
"This is just one of them. The one-armed old man you mentioned is far more skilled than you and me. But didn't Brother Chen pay attention to the handsome young man who led him?"
After being reminded by an old friend next to him, Mr. Chen recalled his conversation with Wang Dalu and seemed to have remembered something, and was slightly surprised.
"You mean that boy's strange eyes and the wild fetus in his body?"
Ju Lao said.
"That's right. Let's not talk about how weird his eyes are and make people confused. I just want to say that when we face him, we have already become psychics in our bodies and feel a sense of powerlessness. Why is this?"
Mr. Chen knew that there were only two possibilities in this situation.
One is that Wang Dalu is carrying a heavy treasure, and the other is that the wild fetus in his body was an extremely ferocious beast in ancient times, so he showed up like this.
For many years, few people have visited the Hidden Valley. Even those few who were blinded by the miasma were rescued by the natives in the valley and finally settled in the valley.
These two people came to this valley a hundred years ago because of the miasma, and subsequently rescued many lost people and people who could not tolerate the outside world to enjoy peace and tranquility in the valley.
Wang Dalu and others are different from those in the past. They relied entirely on their own strength to seek their way in the miasma, and were later brought to Pangen in the valley by the nature of Tian'er's child.
This can be regarded as an unknown fate.
This miasma in the forest is indeed what Wang Dalu's body, Huang Fei Jiaojiao, guessed. There is a giant python that has been practicing for thousands of years. It is breathing mist in the cliff of Yuan Cave less than ten miles away from the valley, creating this dozens of miles.
