Chapter 1012 The Woman in Red
"But..."
Just when Leng Baihu wanted to say something else, Xiao Chen stepped forward and said, "It's okay. I'll trouble Master Leng to prepare a fast horse for me and tell me the approximate location of Wuyou Valley."
On the head of the palace, Leng Qianfeng frowned, "Otherwise, I'll have someone go to Wuyou Valley with Master Wuchen, how about that?"
"Master, there's no need to be so troublesome. I can go alone."
Xiao Chen declined his kindness, turned around, looked at Leng Baihu and said, "Just listen to Madam and stay at the manor."
"But... okay."
Leng Baihu was about to say something, but finally sighed and stopped talking.
After a while, Leng Qianfeng picked a fast horse for Xiao Chen. It was more than 6,000 miles. If he still had his cultivation, this distance would be just a matter of inches. But now, he had to ride a horse like ordinary people.
"Go!"
After leaving the villa, Xiao Chen whipped his horse and galloped. He felt the wind in his ears. The distance of a hundred feet passed in a flash. Although it was a horse in the mortal world, it was not as fast as those immortal birds and beasts in the cultivation world, but it was also very fast. In the blink of an eye, it was gone.
The heat in June was steaming. At noon, the sun was scorching above and the ground was like a furnace. The horse was sweating profusely and could no longer move forward. It had to find a cool place to rest, drink water and eat grass, otherwise it would be exhausted to death under the sun.
Xiao Chen's whole body was also soaked with sweat. He felt the heat coming from the roadside. This time he felt the helplessness of mortals. He had to get off the horse and lead it to a secluded valley in front.
When he arrived in the valley, he saw summer flowers in full bloom, red, blue, yellow and purple, all competing for beauty. In the distance, a waterfall was rushing down and gathered into a pool below. When he approached, a breeze blew with water mist, which was very cool.
Xiao Chen let the horse drink water and eat grass nearby, and he took off his clothes and jumped into the pool. As soon as he entered the pool, he felt a chill coming from the bottom of the pool. The water was as cold as the snow in winter.
After an incense stick, Xiao Chen went to the shore, washed his clothes, and dried them with his inner strength. When he was putting them on, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves outside the valley, coming from far away.
Not long after, he saw a white horse galloping over. The rider was a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, with a sword hanging from his waist. It was Leng Baihu.
"Brother Wuchen! Brother Wuchen!"
Leng Baihu cheered and galloped into the valley. Xiao Chen saw that he had no luggage and asked, "Did you sneak out?"
"Hehe..."
Leng Baihu smiled awkwardly and scratched his head, "Anyway, it's not the first or second time, hehe..."
Xiao Chen shook his head, but thought that Madam Leng must have expected that he would sneak out, so he just had to take good care of him, and asked, "Why do you know I'm here?"
Leng Baihu looked at the red horse he was riding and smiled, "Of course my horse recognized the smell and followed all the way."
"So that's it."
Xiao Chen didn't expect that the horses in this world were so spiritual that they could recognize the smell of their companions even thousands of miles away.
Two horses, one white and one red, were rubbing their necks together at this time, looking particularly intimate.
More than an hour later, the sun was setting in the west, and the two horses had rested. Xiao Chen and Leng Baihu set off again and rushed to Wuyou Valley.
In this way, they traveled day and night, and finally arrived near Wuyou Valley mentioned in the message sent back by the martial artist five days later.
They saw lush forests in front, jagged rocks and thorns everywhere, and the terrain was relatively steep. The horses were no longer suitable to go inside, but the two were not sure whether it led to Wuyou Valley.
"Otherwise... Brother Wuchen, let's go in and take a look first?"
Leng Baihu stopped and looked at the bushes in front. There were rocks and thorns everywhere, and there was no way to go. The two horses could not go in, so they had to tie them outside.
After tying the horses, the two walked in, cutting through thorns all the way. After a long time, they came to the valley inside. From a distance, they saw peaks and ridges, majestic and tall, but there was a mountain after a mountain.
Xiao Chen also vaguely sensed a weak flow of spiritual power. It seemed that as He Chengying had said before, this Worry-Free Valley was not ordinary. The entrance to the valley was probably nearby. I wonder where the dozen martial artists from Baihu Village are now, but they have found the entrance to the valley.
"There are mountains blocking us ahead. We can't get through. The martial artists are not here either. It seems that the entrance to Worry-Free Valley is not here."
Leng Baihu looked at the green mountains around him. He didn't expect that this place was so big. Even those immortals who could fly swords would get lost in these 100,000 mountains and forests, right?
"Well..."
Looking at the green mountains in the distance, Xiao Chen nodded, "Let's go back, go a little further, and go to the other side to see."
If he had a lot of cultivation in the past, whether it was flying swords or spiritual consciousness, he could probably easily find the location of Worry-Free Valley, but now it is not an easy task to search in these 100,000 mountains.
Moreover, there are many poisonous snakes and fierce beasts in the mountains. If you are not careful, you may be in danger. Mortals may even die there. No wonder few people have come here in recent years.
The two immediately returned the same way. When they were about to leave, they suddenly heard the sound of horses neighing from outside. Leng Baihu was immediately startled. "Oh no, the horse was attacked by a wild beast in the mountains. Let's get out!"
The two men immediately quickened their pace and ran outside. When they returned outside, they saw two green-maned ferocious beasts attacking the horses. The white horse had fallen into a pool of blood and was dying, while the red horse was already covered in blood, even the wounds on its legs. The bones were exposed, but he was still protecting the white horse, neighing at the two green beasts.
"Horse!"
Seeing that the two horses were so seriously injured, Leng Baihu's eyes were about to burst. No matter what the two green ferocious beasts were, he pulled out the long sword from his waist and stabbed them with a "clang" sound.
"Leng Baihu...be careful!"
Xiao Chen could see at a glance that the two ferocious beasts were not beasts in this world at all! Are there people from Xuanmen nearby?
"Roar!"
At this moment, the ferocious beast on the left has rushed towards Leng Baihu. Even though he knows martial arts and can deal with leopards and tigers in ordinary mountains and forests, most of this ferocious beast is raised by cultivators. How can he fight? Can you pass?
Soon enough, in this lightning-fast moment, with a "whoosh" sound, a silver needle in Xiao Chen's hand was shot out, and it accurately hit the right eye of the ferocious beast.
"Roar--"
The ferocious beast was in pain and rushed out. With a "bang", it actually broke a big tree next to the two people hugging each other. Such terrifying power even shocked Leng Baihu. , if it had just fallen on him, even if he had internal strength to protect himself, he would still be severely injured, right?
"come over!"
Xiao Chen shouted, and at this time, the other ferocious beast also rushed towards Leng Baihu, but at this moment, a whistle sounded outside, and the two ferocious beasts stopped immediately, but they were still in sight. Lu stared at Xiao Chen and Leng Baihu fiercely.
Especially the ferocious beast whose right eye was shot out kept roaring at Xiao Chen, with a look of hatred on its face, wanting to tear it into pieces.
Leng Baihu had just calmed down and immediately retreated to Xiao Chen's side. At this time, he saw a figure flying in from outside the forest.
But look at that person, she is a young woman in her twenties, dressed in red like clouds, with jade shoulders like snow, and green hair like waterfalls. The whole person exudes an unparalleled aura of fairy spirit, and is absolutely extraordinary.
For a moment, Leng Baihu couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. How could there be such a charming sister in this world? Such an immortal figure is as beautiful as the fairy in the painting...
However, the next moment, I saw two cold looks from the woman: "How dare you hurt my Qinglang!"
Hearing the sharp shouting, Leng Baihu trembled all over and woke up immediately. How could this man be so unreasonable? He retorted, "It was obviously your two green wolves that bit my horse first!"
The woman in red was also angry for a moment and said coldly, "It's just two broken horses. How much are they worth?"
"you!"
Leng Baihu was furious and was about to step forward to argue, but someone held his shoulder. When he turned around, he saw Xiao Chen behind him, shaking his head quietly.
"Miss!"
At this time, another old man flew in from outside. Seeing the situation here, the old man already understood a little bit and bowed his hands to Xiao Chen and Leng Baihu, "You two young heroes, I'm sorry..."
After saying that, he came to the woman in red and whispered, "Business matters, don't delay here, let's go."
"snort!"
The woman in red flicked her sleeves coldly and glared at Leng Baihu and Xiao Chen, "I am too lazy to meet you two ordinary people!" After that, she stepped forward lightly, unfolded the art of controlling the wind, and moved forward. , the two green wolf beasts behind him immediately followed.
After the sound gradually disappeared, Leng Baihu clenched his fists tightly and said, "That person has a good-looking life, but he is so unreasonable!" After that, he walked to the two horses, and saw that the white horse's breath was extremely weak, and the horse's belly He was heaving slightly, with tears flowing out of his eyes, and finally died.
The white horse died, and the red horse neighed, finally leaning on the white horse and slowly losing its breath.
"Horse..."
Seeing the two horses dying together, Leng Baihu's voice was choked with sobs, and tears welled up in his eyes. These two horses had grown up with him, but now they died in this mountain forest.
"If a horse is like this, how can a man be embarrassed?"
Xiao Chen walked over and looked at the two horses clinging to each other until death. He couldn't help but think of those lovers in the mortal world. Mortal life is short, but it only lasts for a hundred years, but even if it is like this, love will last forever. Deep down, there is also a sea of dry rocks.
With a slight sigh in his heart, he looked again in the direction where the two people left just now. The two people just now were cultivators, and their cultivation level was not low. It seemed that there were already people from Xuanmen who had set foot in this mortal world. The land of this world, could it be... also for the rumored Valley of Worry?
