C78 (1/2)
The sun was at its zenith, and the valley under the sun seemed to have changed, to be full of life, and the rustling of leaves, dancing merrily in the wind, and the grass stretched lazily in the sun, and there was a hint of shyness in the green, and the birds came from the forest, and they jumped about in the branches, and their chirping showed their joy, and when the wind blew, it was no longer a cold wind, but filled with the fragrance of the forest, and perhaps there was a faint trace of blood.
When the smell of blood completely dispersed in the mountain breeze, this place would no longer become Evil Wind Valley. After a few months, the fallen leaves would cover these people's bodies and this place would once again return to the embrace of nature. Long Feiyu walked out with light footsteps, as if he was unwilling to disturb the peace and quiet.
From this point of view, the place was rather elegant, one row of three valleys, three trees in front, surrounded by mountains, looking at the sky from here, the sky was also clear, this valley was the Yin-Yang Sect's Grand Altar, this had proven that there was no mistake, what were the other two valleys used for? Was there anyone else inside? If there were, even if these people were not from Yin-Yang Sect, they must have some connections with him. Otherwise, Yin-Yang Sect would definitely not let them sleep soundly beside his bed!
There were still four big words at the entrance of the valley, and the color was not blood-red, but light red. Maybe it was because of being exposed to the sun and wind, but these words were a little blurry, but one could still recognize that it was ”Floating Life Moonflower”!
”Nine deaths” meant nine deaths, but what did ”Ruo Ruo” mean? Could it be that there really was a wise man in this valley who was able to see through the mortal world, and was sighing at the world as if he was living a dream? This place is secluded. If there really was such a person, then he would undoubtedly be the type that Long Feiyu was more interested in. In this world, he belonged to the category of an explorer, so he naturally hoped to meet a true wise man to answer his many questions about this world.
This valley was far larger, and there were no signs of habitation. Long Feiyu slowly walked in, and even after walking three or four kilometers, he still did not find anyone. He didn't even have a way out, but the cliffs on both sides were still there. However, there were thousands of people standing on this side. From the looks of it, it was possible. Real hidden people did not like to be disturbed by outsiders, and the wise men of this world might not even be able to answer his questions. Long Feiyu had already decided to give up. The sound of the zither came from the cliff. Although it had suddenly risen up, it was definitely not sudden. It was as if it had been wandering in the wind all this time. Only at this moment did he hear the sound of the zither, which was melodious and full of charm. It was as if an old man that had experienced many vicissitudes of life was sighing at the fickleness of the world. It was also as if in this world, a person that was filled with emotion was gently asking the heavens something. The sound of the zither contained questions, answers, explorations, and a flash of insight. There really was someone here. Who was this person? What did he want to ask? What did he know? He must be at the top of the cliff, because the zither music came from there. Long Feiyu suddenly had a desire to communicate with that person, he had too many unknown things in this world, he was also in the midst of exploring the mysteries of this world. It created a deep resonance in his heart. The cliff was extremely tall, and the side was at a 90 degree angle. To ordinary people, this place was definitely out of reach, but Long Feiyu was not an ordinary person, he discovered that there was a barely visible crack in the cliff, and every two to three meters, there was a small stone pit. Within the stone pit, there was a light green moss, and within the crack of the cliff, there was also a tree that was not more than ten meters apart, although it was not very tall, but it was very lush and dense. These rock pools did not have much effect on him as he climbed the cliff. Just these small trees alone were enough for him to climb the cliff!
The cliff was really high, and when they were almost to the top of the mountain, there was already no tree above, and there was still a distance of a full 50 meters between the two, making it impossible for them to leap up. Long Feiyu stopped and looked down, and couldn't help but fall in love, because the big tree behind him looked just like a small grass, and if he fell down from such a height, even if it was him, he would only end up as a broken corpse. The identity of the person on the cliff was unknown, so this valley had its borders on the Yin-Yang Sect. After thinking about this, Long Feiyu began his last fifty meters of journey. With a leap, he jumped a dozen meters, stuck his hand deeply into the rocks, borrowed strength to climb another ten meters, then tightly grabbed onto the cliff's edge, with only two to three meters left before he reached the top of the cliff. Long Feiyu took a deep breath, soared into the sky, and flew straight up dozens of meters into the air.
The sound of the zither was still ringing, as though this person had not chosen to sneak attack him from the edge of the cliff, it could only mean that he had not done it on purpose, otherwise, the sneak attack at the top of the cliff would definitely be more effective than any other place, and taking advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold, sudden attack, as long as the enemy retreated one step, he would definitely die. This kind of sneak attack method was not something anyone would miss, although the small forest might not be safe either, but the greatest danger had already passed, the ambush in the forest was not too close, but he was very surprised, there was still no one in the forest. Since he was already here, he should at least meet them first. Long Feiyu was entering the forest in front, he was truly a little shocked this time. There was still no one in the forest, the zither music was still in front!
It was said that the wulin master in this place could use zhenqi s to control the guqin and concentrate their energy into the guqin, allowing the guqin to travel extremely far, but at the same time making people hear it as if it was just beside their ears. This person's guqin sound was so strange, it must be an inner force expert. The moment he turned around, the sound of a zither could be heard. It was obvious that the zither was trying to lure him up the precipice, so why was he trying to lure him up? Could it be that it wanted to harm him?
The moment he had ascended the cliff, it had originally been his best opportunity to attack. He also had not made a move, perhaps he really did not have any ulterior motives, perhaps he wanted to lure him here to tell him a secret. But this zither music never stopped. How far was it from him?
There was another possibility. This person was a Qing Gong Master, and he had just played the zither here. But the moment he entered, he immediately left, and if it was an easy situation, Long Feiyu leaped up and followed the zither music's guidance and entered deep into the forest, for a moment it was extremely sudden, and only for a moment. He was already in the forest, standing at the top of the tallest tree and searching all around. The sound of the zither stopped abruptly, as if there was still a soft sigh coming from the top of the tree.
Long Feiyu's body moved. As they entered the forest in front of them, countless birds flew about in shock, but there was no one around. The zither music could no longer be heard, Long Feiyu shouted: ”Who are you, come out and meet me!”
He stood at the top of the tree and shouted. It should have been a few miles, but no one answered.
He continued to shout, ”I have no ill intentions, come out to meet me!” The sound rumbled out, but there was no response for a long time. It was as if the place had suddenly become deathly silent. The sound of the zither just now seemed like the sound of the wind in the mountain, or perhaps it was just a dream.
Long Feiyu looked around, and his expression changed slightly. Just now, he was only following the sound of the zither, and did not pay attention to his surroundings, but now that he looked, he saw that he was already in the depths of the forest, surrounded by dense and verdant trees, one higher than the other. They blocked his line of sight, as well as the sun, and he could not see his surroundings. He had to turn back quickly, if not he would get lost again, just like when he first arrived in the forest. Long Feiyu judged his position, and after getting up, he followed the road, but after running for a long time, there were no signs of any familiar scenery around him. Crap, he got lost again, Long Feiyu thought, last time he had to walk around in the forest for five days, how long did it take this time?
Since he was already lost, he could no longer run around blindly, or else he might really be unable to leave. The power of nature could not be compared to the wulin master at all, and here, Long Feiyu had the confidence to defeat any expert. However, in front of nature, he was still full of respect.
He sat under the tree and thought hard. This weird sound definitely wasn't an illusion. There was definitely someone playing the zither. What was the purpose of this person? Based on the fact that he was already lost, he had reason to believe that this person's goal was to lead him astray! Using this maze to trap him, in order to reach a certain point, Long Feiyu's heart was slightly moved. If it was really like this, then this great forest would definitely be even more terrifying than the great forest that he was previously lost in. Not only would he be lost, he would also have to deal with an assassination attempt from an unknown place at any time and place!
But he still had a chance, this person is not his target, his goal must be for him to die. When he cannot hold on, when his mind crashes, that mysterious guqin player might appear and give him a fatal blow, that time might be his chance, to counter him, and let him lure out this great forest!
It was too easy to cause a person's mind to collapse in such an environment. As long as Long Feiyu's mind truly collapsed, he really would not be able to escape, but Long Feiyu was different from ordinary people, his power gave him enough confidence, without water, he did not need to worry about dying of thirst after a few months, there was no food, there was no problem, because the forest was full of wild beasts. Fear and worry were also very faint to him, his martial arts did not leave him much of a sense of danger, it was just that the person beside him did not give him any patience.
The night was quiet, a cave on a cliff still had a glimmer of light, but this light was only inside the cave, it could not be seen from outside. A masked woman entered the cave soundlessly, and said to the darkness: ”Master, I have already followed Master's instructions, and brought him into Bewildering Forest!”
In the darkness a female voice said slowly, ”Very good! Your Bewitching Cult has improved greatly! ”
The woman respectfully said, ”Thank you, Master, for teaching me.”
Her master smiled slightly: ”Your talent is excellent, it's rare for you to always be able to keep a calm heart. You must remember, the most important thing to learn the 'Bewildering God's Triad' is your own heart. As long as your heart is not confused, your enemy will definitely be bewitched by you!”
The woman said calmly: ”Qiong Er knows! What should he do next? Master, please enlighten me! ”
