Tao Zang Xuan Zhi

There was a bright moon in the sky, and the bright moonlight spread across the earth, illuminating the trees in the valley in front of us clearly.

An army walked quietly on the cliff. Most of the troops were neatly dressed infantry with shiny armor. There were two light armored cavalry in front of them, but half of the people riding in the middle were civilians.

The team soon reached the cliff mouth. On top of the cliff, there is a three-foot-tall strange giant rock that looks like a gourd, but looks like the mouth of the gourd and half of the gourd have been sharply cut off with a sharp weapon. Beyond the huge rock, there is a winding mountain road going down. The mountain road is steep and difficult to ride, so you need to dismount and lead. The cool night breeze blew the sea of ​​trees under the cliff, and under the soft moonlight there were waves that were different from the water surface but had a unique style. At the end of the night on the other side of the sea of ​​trees, you can still see the winding dark mountain shadows, which seem to be a closed valley.

The golden-armored general riding on a maroon horse in the middle turned to the woman wearing a white checkerboard gauze sleeve and said:"Major General, Master Zhongxian, the Gourd Field is in front of us. Do we really want to go down?"

That woman is Zhong Wanling, and the young general mentioned by the general is Song Lian, who has taken off his brocade robe and is wearing armor.

Zhong Wanling turned his head and looked at the old man with beautiful beard and white hair behind him. The old man drove his horse forward, looked at the dense sea of ​​trees under the cliff, sighed and said,"That's right. The spiritual energy of this valley is extremely rich and abundant. If you want to cover up Xiaohe's violent energy without being noticed, this place nearby There may be no other place except here."

This old man is Guo Yuan, the deputy pavilion of Qixuan Pavilion of Shangqing Sect, and the"Xiao He" he refers to is his new disciple He Zhizhang not long ago.

The golden-armored general looked troubled when he heard this. Zhong Wanling asked:"If General Guo has any difficulties, feel free to speak out. This matter is a matter for our Shangqing Sect. We are very grateful for your trouble to accompany us here." General Jin Jia is the commander-in-chief of the Zhushan Camp of the Hunan garrison. Guo Qingfeng. General Guo quickly interrupted Zhong Wanling's words, clasped his fists and said,"Master Zhong Xian, you're welcome. Master Zhong Xian and other immortal masters have helped our Zhushan camp solve major cases for several years, and also detected major situations related to the safety of our Tang Dynasty. Their contribution is to Sheji. Qingfeng is really impressed. Regardless of these things, in the past few days, all the immortal masters have helped our army to eliminate those monsters and saved the lives of soldiers in our camp many times from the claws of demons. It is definitely more than a few words of thanks. Besides, this immortal and I The master is still a person with the same surname, so what's the harm in helping him find his lost disciple? However," General Guo changed the topic,"If Master Guo Xian's disciple enters this valley, it is better to ask Master Guo to express his condolences and not to enter this valley."

"how do I say this? General Guo thought for a moment and said solemnly:"To be honest, this place is famous for being too dangerous. Although several immortal masters are very good at martial arts, this valley is a famous ghost valley in Hunan. For hundreds of years, everyone who enters No one in this valley came back. The Major General and Master Zhongxian are the pillars of the country, and we will never dare to let them be put in danger."

"General Guo means that this may be a rebel stronghold? Song Lian asked.

General Guo quickly explained:"No." Although there were also disappearances in the strongholds that General Jiang and the Major General and several Immortal Masters destroyed a few days ago, but unlike here, they only happened in recent years. It's like the Luoxia Ancient Road was occupied by those rebels, and no one who passed by survived. That happened in the past five years. Six or seven years ago, it was a famous place where literati, nobles and celebrities often went for outings. But this Calabash Land is different. To be honest with you, the last general is from Bingcheng. He grew up here. The evil name of Gourd Land has been heard since he was a child. This place has been evil for at least a hundred years. People nearby would not even come here to hunt and pick wild vegetables, let alone enter the valley. Look at the vegetation and roads nearby. Huayang Road is an important place for travel, but the grass here is so tall that no one has legs. You can tell that no one has come to this place for a long time."

Guo Yuan never liked to make things difficult for others. He turned back to look at his disciples and asked for confirmation:"Xiao Yao, did Xiao He really run this way? The disciple behind him clasped his fists and replied:"Return to Master, I did follow Junior Brother He to this area before losing him. There is such a big stone here, I can't admit it." Seeing that Guo

Yuan and others were unable to make a decision, General Guo could only advise:"Master Guo, how about this?" This calabash land is a valley of death. There is no other way out but this road. I will send a small team to guard here. If Master He Xiaoxian comes out, I will notify you immediately."

Guo Yuan still couldn't make a decision. Zhong Wanling said to General Guo on the side:"General He Zhujun, please wait here for a moment. I will go down with Senior Brother Guo and all the nephews to have a look. Canglan, are you waiting here too?"

"Master!"Both Song Lian and Han Cheng find it difficult to agree with

"No! General Guo also disagreed,"The last general is not talented, but he is definitely not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death." If these immortal masters insist on going down, they will rather sacrifice their lives to accompany the gentleman than to live in an ignoble way."

Zhong Wanling cupped his fists and saluted, and said with a smile:"The general is also a heroic hero. But the general doesn't need to be too nervous. Senior Brother Guo and I just went down to see if there was any trace of Senior Nephew He entering the valley, with no intention of going deeper. The mountain road is steep and inconvenient for horses to walk on, so the general and the military brothers are asked to wait here. General, please be at ease. He then looked at the lush valley under the cliff,"I see that this place is full of spiritual energy, which is different from other places, but there is no evil spirit. It shouldn't be such an evil place." It was an opportunity when it came, and it just happened for me and my senior brother to have a look. If we can break it, it will be a harm to the people around us. Guo

Yuan followed Zhong Wanling's words and advised:"Yes, the gourd is a Taoist ritual weapon, and it also means fortune." This place used to be a fairyland. Those visions may just be a deception used by the immortals in the valley. Seeing the insistence of several immortal masters, General Guo had no choice but to step back and say,"Hey, then please ask General Rong Mo to select elite people to accompany you. Otherwise, even if it weren't for me, the soldiers would not agree.""

Zhong Wanling and Guo Yuan clasped their fists in return."Thank you, general."

General Guo selected ten capable soldiers, escorted Zhong Wanling, Song Lian, Han Cheng, Guo Yuan and their disciples, abandoned their horses and walked down the cliff along the winding mountain road. The further down, the more lush the vegetation became, but there was no It felt like the moon was covering the sky, but it was very bright, a bit like the bright moon shining among the pines. General Guo and several soldiers found it very strange. After taking a closer look, they discovered that there were many strange rocks of different sizes in the forest, like fireflies. Generally glowing as cool as the moon

"Is this... a spiritual stone? General Guo asked, holding a torch and shining it on a bench-high rock not far away. The brightness of these stones is not dazzling, but it is not inferior to the torch. It is very strange.

"No. This is fluorite."Zhong Wanling explained,"But it's really rare for them to be distributed like this on the ground."Fluorite is usually associated with mineral veins. Even if it is above the ground, it should be grown within the rock wall. Growing in the grass looks like a decoration in the courtyard of an immortal family. However, such a naturally carved form is really not like it. Is it a garden light or decoration.
