Chapter 838 Guigu
Chapter 838 Ghost Valley
"Excessive?" Zhang Xiaohua was stunned for a moment, then feigned anger: "Did your Third Senior Sister arrange an impossible task for me?"
Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's slightly exaggerated expression, Zhang Ping'er felt relieved and said, "It's not impossible. If it is impossible, what do you want to do?"
"What is that?" Zhang Xiaohua still smiled.
"This... I don't know yet." Zhang Ping'er said without thinking.
"Bang Dang" Zhang Xiaohua fell to the ground, and after a while she murmured: "Since you don't know, why are you saying too much?"
"Senior Brother, although I don't know what your mission is, I know where you are going." Zhang Ping'er said with a look of hatred on her face, "I asked Third Senior Sister yesterday, but she didn't tell me whether she was alive or dead. Today She revealed the location of the test early in the morning when she wanted to give orders to prepare."
"Oh? Where is that? The dragon's pond and the tiger's den?" Zhang Xiaohua asked curiously.
"The location where Third Senior Sister arranged for you to test is Guigu," Zhang Ping'er said angrily.
"Ghost Valley?" Zhang Xiaohua became even more surprised and asked, "Where is this Ghost Valley? Why haven't I heard of it?"
"If senior brother has heard of it, that would be a weird thing." Zhang Ping'er sneered: "This Ghost Valley is originally in a canyon under the mountain where Lihuo Palace is located. Only the disciples of Lihuo Palace know about it, that is, other inner disciples. Not very clear either.”
"That's right, but... why is it called Ghost Valley? Are there ghosts in it?" Zhang Xiaohua asked tentatively.
"Where can there be ghosts? If there are ghosts, wouldn't there be gods in this world?" Zhang Ping'er smiled, and then explained: "Speaking of this Ghost Valley, it can be regarded as a long time ago. According to the Lihuo Palace According to the palace annals, this canyon was not called Ghost Valley before, but was called Licui Valley. It was a beautiful place with lush vegetation and various spiritual grasses growing in clusters. It seemed... it seemed more tranquil than it is now. The birch trees in the Grand Canyon are unforgivable.”
"Because the Licui Valley was very suitable for planting spiritual herbs in the past, many of the spiritual herbs in Lihuo Palace were planted in the canyon. There were also many medicinal gardens that were responsible for the disciples who were also assigned to the Licui Valley. All the disciples also I really like to go there, well, even the disciples from other palaces and the disciples from Mo Yu Palace come here often."
"It's just that, about a thousand years ago, I don't know what changes happened in Licui Valley. There was gradually an inexplicable black mist inside. This black mist was neither too much nor too little, and all the spiritual grasses were destroyed. and trees are filthy and can never grow again, while the regenerated herbs and trees are spooky,
Without being used for medicine or elixir refining, even the stones in the Licui Valley lost their previous verdant appearance and turned into a dark green color. The entire Licui Valley looked like a ghost, and the disciples never went there again. People collected herbs and played there, and over time, the name was changed to Ghost Valley. "
"Oh, so that's it." Zhang Xiaohua suddenly realized that since it is a ghost valley, there are of course unknown dangers, and the third senior sister Mei Suhua must have been uneasy and kind-hearted when she allowed herself to go to the ghost valley for testing.
"But, since it's a ghost valley, what else is there for me to look for?"
"Senior brother, I don't know. After the spiritual grass and trees in the Ghost Valley were polluted by the ghost mist, it was naturally impossible to refine ordinary elixirs. But what? After the research of several generations of seniors in Lihuo Palace, I discovered some spiritual grass. For example, Ghost Face Mushroom, Ghost Shadow Grass, Ghost Eye Fruit, etc. actually have new uses, such as using poison, or using poison to fight poison. Moreover, some animals in Ghost Valley, as well as unknown herbs, also have incredible effects. Presumably, Third Senior Sister asked you to go to Ghost Valley to look for these strange things."
"Haha" Zhang Xiaohua smiled after hearing this: "Since some seniors have already entered Guigu Valley, even if it is dangerous, it is limited. Moreover, your third senior sister's request is normal. If I lose, she will naturally Even if I succeed, if I win, she will get the elixir, but she wants to have the best of both worlds."
"How can senior brother think so simple?" Zhang Ping'er said: "What I'm talking about happened hundreds of years ago. Since the Ghost Valley has been shrouded in ghost mist for a long time, although there are not many, ordinary people are extremely uncomfortable going there. , very few people can stay in there for two hours, and many people go crazy after entering the Ghost Valley. Therefore, in the past hundred years, no one has gone in again."
"Alas" Zhang Xiaohua sighed, looked at Zhang Ping'er and said, "You are a knife-sitter, and I am a fish-meat. If I don't want to listen to your Third Senior Sister's arrangements, I have no choice but to go back to Tuodan Hall."
"Alas" Zhang Ping'er also sighed, and then complained: "Master, she is the same. Didn't you agree that night and let the senior sister give you a martial arts test? I thought that the most senior sister would take action against you. The worst thing to do is find a few peak-protecting disciples from the Ruijin Palace to test their martial arts with you. I don’t know what the two of them are busy with. They haven’t been seen all day long, so... …”
Then he lowered his head again and said softly: "Senior brother, please don't blame me."
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said: "What's the blame? I was the one who mocked you, Third Senior Sister, that day. How can I blame you?"
Just as he was talking, a disciple came in a hurry, looked at Zhang Ping'er and saluted, and said respectfully: "Senior Sister Zhang, Senior Sister Mei asked me to inform Junior Brother Ren that the test in Licui Valley will be held in half an hour, please Ren." Junior brother, rush to the entrance of the canyon to the west as soon as possible."
Zhang Ping'er waved her hand and said, "Okay, I understand. You go back and recover first. I will take Junior Brother Ren there in a moment."
When the disciple walked away, Zhang Ping'er looked at Zhang Xiaohua and said, "Senior brother, are you ready? What do you want to take?"
Zhang Xiaohua shook his head and said: "I have nothing to take with me, let's go."
"Don't you need to bring weapons?" Zhang Ping'er asked worriedly: "I remember that senior brother has a short sword?"
"Dagger?" Zhang Xiaohua was stunned, scratched his head and said, "I seem to have lost it, haha."
Then he pretended to be enlightened: "By the way, don't I still have a long sword? Just wait a moment."
After saying that, he entered the hut, and after a while, he walked out carrying the Prajna heavy sword. Zhang Ping'er had never seen this heavy sword before, and frowned: "Senior brother, this... is this your long sword? I... I seem to have seen your mount hunched over. I thought it was a stick."
Zhang Xiaohua raised the Prajna heavy sword, swung it a few times, and said with a smile: "Just use it with ease, think of it as a long sword."
The two of them were talking and walking, and when they arrived at the Licui Valley to the west of the Lihuo Palace, it was exactly half an hour. At this time, many disciples had gathered at the mouth of the valley to watch the excitement, and Zhang Xiaohua had seen it a few days ago. The third senior sister who passed by was standing there in flaming red.
The mouth of Licui Valley was behind a pile of rocks and messy vegetation. Zhang Xiaohua could not see clearly. The entire valley seemed to be surrounding the Yixiang Peak, and Zhang Xiaohua's sight was blocked by the peak of Yixiang Peak.
When they got close, Zhang Xiaohua and Zhang Ping'er both saluted Mei Suhua.
Mei Suhua waved her hand and said: "Junior brother Ren, I believe you already know that because senior sister has important matters, I will handle the matter of testing your martial arts. Originally, you were disrespectful to me that day. I had already thought about it. I'm going to teach you a lesson. If you follow my idea, I'll hire a senior sister from Mo Qian's palace and I'll be able to get rid of you in a few tricks. But before she left, she repeatedly asked me to find something simple for you. Test. Moreover, in the alchemy room of Lihuo Palace, due to the lack of medicinal herbs in the Licui Valley, I have not refined any special elixir for a long time. Since Junior Sister Zhang said that you have outstanding martial arts, it is good to find you an easy and simple one. For the test, as long as you find the thousand-year-old ghost-faced mushroom in the Li Cui Valley, I will pass the test, how about it?”
"Thousand-year-old?" Before Zhang Xiaohua could speak, Zhang Pinger shouted out: "Third Senior Sister, is there a thousand-year-old ghost-faced mushroom in this ghost valley? It has only been a few years since this ghost valley was formed."
Mei Suhua smiled sweetly and said: "Seventh Junior Sister, I am a useless senior sister. I only know how to cultivate and am not interested in the records of this temple. Therefore, I don't know what the name of this Li Cui Valley is and what Ghost Valley is. I only know that this Li Cui Valley is called Ghost Valley." Cui Valley has been around for tens of thousands of years. Although it is almost impossible to find thousand-year-old spiritual grass outside, in this Li Cui Valley, no matter how difficult it is, there must be a limit.
"You..." Zhang Ping'er was almost furious: "You are making things difficult."
"Making things difficult?" Mei Suhua sneered and said, "I am the most fair. Since the senior sister has taught me this matter, I will definitely complete it well; and if I don't find something a little more difficult, if I don't find something a little difficult in the future, What do you want me to tell the leader when he finds out that I easily let go of the preparatory disciples she requires for rigorous testing?"
"This..." Zhang Ping'er was speechless.
Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "Okay, Third...Senior Sister, I have made all preparations. When will we enter next time?"
Mei Suhua said with a smile: "Junior brother Ren is indeed a hero. He is worthy of being a figure who has broken through Youlan Mulian. The entrance of the Licui Valley has been opened and you can enter at any time. Moreover, I will send people to wait at the entrance of the valley. You just need to If you collect ghost-faced mushrooms, you can come back at any time.”
Zhang Xiaohua nodded: "Thank you, senior sister, for the arrangement."
After saying that, he held his long sword upside down and walked towards the mouth of Licui Valley.
"Master... Junior Brother Ren, be careful. If there is any danger... you'd better come out early..." Zhang Ping'er followed closely and whispered.
Zhang Xiaohua turned around and gave a smile: "Don't worry, Senior Sister Zhang, I'll be back in a moment."
After saying that, we entered the somewhat dark valley mouth.
Seeing Zhang Xiaohua go in, Zhang Ping'er just stared at the mouth of the valley. After a while, she heard Mei Suhua smile and say: "Seventh Junior Sister, come here, I have something to tell you."
When Zhang Ping'er heard this, she turned around and walked over, asking, "Sister, what can I do for you?"
Just when Zhang Ping'er turned around, a pale figure swept up from under the tree next to Li Cui Valley. When all the disciples looked at Zhang Ping'er, it flashed into the valley.
