Dragon Epilogue, Episode 152: Sunset Valley

Although the Valley of the Sunset is called a valley, it is not in the crevice or at the foot of the mountain, but is halfway up the mountainside. Sunset Valley is in the Middle of Five Finger Mountain. In fact, the Five Finger Mountain is just a mountain, and when the mountain is three points high and two, it is divided into five mountains, like the five fingers of a person. At the fork of the five hills, there is a flat land, which reaches several miles, and this is the Sunset Valley. Sunset Valley Strange stood in the air, like a semicircular bead pinched between five fingers.

The reason why it is called sunset valley is two reasons, one is that the deep tang county where the five finger mountain is located, the terrain is much higher than any other place, and the whole other world has long days and short nights, so the sunset valley is as long as four-fifths of the time in a day. From a distance, no matter from which direction, it looks like the sun is falling in the valley, so it is called sunset valley. Another reason is that the Sunset Valley is covered with glowstones. This kind of stone is large and small, the big one is like a human head, and the small one is only the size of a fist. The glowstone itself is black and is particularly able to absorb sunlight. At night, it will emit a fiery red light, reflecting the Sunset Valley like a fireball, resembling the sun.

The sun seems to have set in the valley, which is a natural phenomenon. The fluorite, on the other hand, was collected by Hao Gale and placed in the valley, specifically for absorbing light. Why there is such a peculiar terrain as Sunset Valley is impossible to verify. It's just that sunset valley is much more famous than five finger mountain, mentioning the wild lord Hao Gale, the first thing that comes to mind is sunset valley, and gradually forget that sunset valley is in five finger mountain. Fluorite is mainly produced in the Shenqi Desert, which is not very precious, but it is rare. The main god is difficult for ordinary people in the desert to survive, and it is not easy to find. Although the flint stone is only in a specific place and is useful to specific people, Hao Dafeng did not dare to take it lightly and set the Sunset Valley as a forbidden place.

Qiao Feng was very careful, divided into three places, and asked three people, the residence of the wasteland lord Hao Dafeng. All three answered sunset valleys, and the directions pointed out to him were the same. In the end, they all had to ask Qiao Feng what to do in the Sunset Valley, and after seeing that Qiao Feng did not answer, he still earnestly warned him that it was okay to go to the Five Finger Mountain, and not to sneak into the Sunset Valley, where is the forbidden land of the wasteland lord. Don't take the liberty of trying to get in from the air, because the temperature of the Sunset Valley is extremely high, it is grass and birds are not crossing.

Qiao Feng was a little unbelieving, he had been to the Demon Domain, and he knew that the temperature in the Divine Light Desert was much higher than that of ordinary places. With his cultivation at that time, he was still able to resist and move freely. Even if the Sunset Valley is more powerful than the Divine Desert, with his current cultivation behavior, he should not be affected. Qiao Feng flew to the Sunset Valley at night, and at a height of thousands of meters, he could already feel a scorching heat. After slowly diving for hundreds of feet, you need to use your luck to resist that heat. When there are still thousands of feet away from the bottom of the valley, the heat wave has made people breathless. Qiao Feng estimated that even if he went down to the bottom of the valley and fully operated the body of the golden tick, he could resist the burning. However, the situation in the valley is unknown, and if there is a fight, it will be more fierce and less auspicious, and it will have to retreat.

Qiao Feng ambushed near the Five Finger Mountain for ten days, observing the terrain while practicing spiritual power. He had thought that Hao Dafeng, like other wild lords, had many apprentices, and the whole Five Finger Mountain was also very lively. Who knows the opposite, in the whole mountain, Qiao Feng did not see a single house, and the figure was rarely seen, it was very silent. Qiao Feng circled around the Five Finger Mountain no less than seven or eight times, and found that only the main road leading to the mountain in the east was occasionally visited. Although the other three sides also had roads, they had never seen a single person.

Qiao Feng thought to himself, there is only one entrance to sunset valley, and it should be on the east side. But how to get up, but it is a difficult problem. Since sunset valley is hao gale's forbidden place, it will definitely be guarded by masters. I came to find an opportunity, whether sunset valley is still unclear, first clashed with people, and then started to move, obviously unwise. Qiao Feng thought about it, but there was really nothing he could do, so he walked up the road. He decided to explore the truth and make another calculation.

A large road winds upwards with trees on both sides. After walking for about five or six miles, the road narrowed and was flanked by cliffs. Qiao Feng hesitated, and then stepped into the crack of the mountain. After walking for more than ten inches, he suddenly jumped from the top of his head, looked at Qiao Feng and asked, "Seeing that you don't look like the people we instruct, what are you doing here?" This can refer to the place where qing cultivation is taught, how can outsiders enter it casually? "This is the first person Joe Feng has met since he went up the mountain. He looked up and saw that there were stone caves on both sides of the cliff, some several inches deep, and some only accommodating one person. In every cave, there are people practicing diligently. Some caves have only one person, and some caves have as many as five or six people.

Qiao Feng suddenly realized, it turned out that this was what advice, liked to dig holes and live, maybe in order to facilitate the practice, so he could not see the house. At this time, Qiao Feng could clearly hear the sound of ah-oh-uh-uh coming from the mountain, it should be someone practicing hard, which made him sure that this was the sect sitting on the ground. Qiao Feng arched his hand, pinched a name, and returned: "This little brother, I came to find Master Elm." The man drank impatiently, "There is no Elm Master here, go fast and go fast." Qiao Feng said, "Master Yumu told me that if you want to find him, you can come to sunset valley, and you hope that the little brother will pass it on for you." The man smiled, looked at Qiao Feng and said, "You went down the mountain on the same road, turn left and walk up thirty miles, there is a red leaf forest there." This is the western side of Five Finger Mountain, and there is a path in the woods, all the way up to Sunset Valley. As for the Elm Master you said, whether he is there or not, I don't know, and I can't help you pass it on. ”

Qiao Feng felt several eyes staring at him, if he didn't leave, there would be a fight immediately, so he had to thank him and turn away. After walking for more than ten feet, I heard the person behind me muttering softly: What Elm Master, if you want to go to sunset valley, you will say that you are going to die, why should I stop you. Qiao Feng originally didn't believe the little brother's words, thinking that he was just trying to trick himself into leaving. At this time, listening to his mockery, I couldn't help but believe a few points.

Qiao Feng stayed around Wuzhi Mountain for ten days, knowing that there was a red leaf forest on the west side of the mountain, and also knew that there was a path in the forest that led to the mountain. He came to the red leaf forest, found the path, no longer hesitated, and walked straight up. On both sides of the road, there are trees, very tall, which cover the sunlight tightly. It's just that it's still hot, and if you don't protect your body with spiritual power, there will be sweat spilling out. The mountain road became steeper and steeper the way up, and Qiao Feng had walked for more than half an hour, and he could see the Sunset Valley through the cracks in the trees. Strangely enough, I did not touch people, nor did I see birds or beasts. And the higher you go, the closer you get to sunset valley, but the temperature is getting lower and lower.

Qiao Feng walked for nearly an hour, the temperature was much lower than usual, and the sunset valley was becoming clearer and clearer. It seems that the little brother said it well, this is really the road to sunset valley. It's just that Qiao Feng couldn't figure it out, since sunset valley was a forbidden place for Hao Dafeng, how could it be so lax and unguarded? While Qiao Feng was thinking, there was a sudden roar, and then the birdsong sounded loudly, resounding throughout the Five Finger Mountain. On the tree next to Qiao Feng, a branch was no more than a foot away from him, and two birds flew down from it, one towards Qiao Feng's neck and the other towards Qiao Feng's eyes, pecking over. The bird resembles a bat, with only its front beak five inches long, both sharp and sharp.

From the bottom of the mountain upwards, the mountains on both sides have been lush and green. When he arrived here, he suddenly turned from green to black, and Qiao Feng didn't know why, so he just lifted up the body of the golden tick and took precautions. Now when I saw the birds, I realized that it was the birds clinging to the leaves, densely packed, and dyed the entire forest black. As soon as the birds moved, they all flew towards Qiao Feng, thousands, and so on. Qiao Feng subconsciously waved his hand to block, flicking away the two birds that had attacked first. It was just that the two birds also pecked at Qiao Feng, and one pecked at the back of Qiao Feng's hand, although it failed to break through his golden tick body, it was also pecking at him in pain. Another one pecked at Qiao Feng's shirt, pecking a hole in his clothes.

Qiao Feng was astonished, he didn't expect that this bird and finch was so powerful that it could almost threaten his golden tick body. If it is only more than a dozen, or dozens of them, and they cannot be driven away, they will be killed. It's just that the eyes are densely packed, covering the sky and the sun, and there is no end to killing. Qiao Feng hesitated slightly, turned his heart sideways, and simply broke up. This is the only way to the Sunset Valley, unless you give up going to the Sunset Valley, you can't avoid this bird attack. Qiao Feng split his palm and struck one after another, and the birds fell like raindrops, but they did not die, and immediately flew up and attacked Qiao Feng again.

The body of the golden tick, the explosion of spiritual strength, the splitting palm power, the chill essence, and even the nine divine consciousness shields, Qiao Feng could be said to have exhausted all means, and he had only walked less than three miles. Along the way, he killed two birds, which crashed into Qiao Feng's palm and crushed the bird's head hard to kill it. The rest of the means were completely useless, and could only shoot them away, not to kill them. At this point, Qiao Feng was already unable to walk, and the dense flying birds surrounded him with water, forming a wall of birds, which was both thick and had no end in sight.

Qiao Feng broke through all the way, and the loss of spiritual power was not small. If this continues, it will not take more than a few hours, and the spiritual power will be exhausted, and it will eventually become bird food. Qiao Feng fended off the birds while thinking about ways to escape. He suddenly lay face down and back to the ground, gave up resistance, and used the body of the golden tick with full force, and his limbs were forced at the same time to break through the bird wall and quickly move forward to the ground. Dozens of birds pecked together, and Qiao Feng's golden tick body was also somewhat unable to resist, and his back was burning with pain. Supported for a quarter of an hour or so, the eyes lit up, and there was already a bird surround. Qiao Feng did not get up, looked up, and turned from black to yellow in front of him. Qiao Feng saw it vividly, the yellow bird's head was moving, its hissing was high, and it was twice as big as the black bird.

Qiao Feng lowered his head and still moved forward close to the ground. The yellow bird no longer pecked at him with its front beak, but tore Qiao Feng with its claws, with ferocious force. Qiao Feng had no choice but to resist hard, with his hands and feet forceful, speeding up. After he crossed the yellow area, he crossed a red area and reached the bottom of sunset valley. Qiao Feng looked up and saw that his eyes were full of green, so he sat up and gasped for breath. His coat on his back was torn to pieces, leaving only the front of the shirt. The entire back, from top to bottom, was already numb. Six-seven out of ten spiritual powers were lost, but fortunately they were not injured. When passing through the red area, Qiao Feng did not know whether the red one was a bird or a beast, and in what way it attacked himself.

Qiao Feng gasped slightly, looked up at the Sunset Valley above his eyes, and then saw a lot of the situation in front of him. The mountain road has reached here and is over. At the end of the mountain road is the thumb of the five fingers, and under the thumb there is a stone hole, about six feet in diameter and three inches thick. It seems that this is the entrance to sunset valley, which must be entered from the thumb. Only in the cave, there is an oval boulder, standing in the middle, blocking the way. The stone was covered with black bugs, each with a finger, and Qiao Feng didn't know it at all.

In front of the boulder, there were still two people standing, bending over the boulder, standing very respectfully, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out. The current person was holding a porcelain jar in his hand, and the porcelain jar did not know what it contained, and it was steaming out. When Qiao Feng rushed out, the two did not listen, as if they had not noticed. Qiao Feng thought to himself, Since you are not coming to harass, I just need to recover my strength and come back to deal with you. Just as he was about to practice the Gong Fa cultivation, an old man's voice suddenly sounded: "The old decay has been stationed in the Sunset Valley for more than two thousand years, and for the first time someone has visited." Why don't you go one step further so that the old decay can entertain you? ”

The sound came from all directions, and the afterglow was endless. Qiao Feng knew that this person was speaking to himself, and he also knew that it was not the two people standing in front of him, because they did not turn around and turn back, and their figures did not move in the slightest. So he stood up and held his fist in the air to salute, and then said, "Qiao Feng took the liberty of visiting, and he should have met his predecessors." I just don't know where my predecessors are hiding? The voice smiled, "I'm right in front of you." Qiao Feng looked at the front strangely, not like the two people in front of him were talking. At this time, the boulders in the cave shook, and dense black insects flew into the cave, revealing a person.

Qiao Feng was stunned, he never expected that this boulder was actually a person. I saw that his face was very old, and he had blood holes on his body, the big ones had thumbs, and the small ones were like soybeans, densely packed. In Qiao Feng's heart, he also felt very frightening. However, he was bold, and since the old man beckoned, he took a step forward and arched his hand: "Qiao Mou's eyes are clumsy, and he didn't know that the senior man was close in front of him." ”

When Qiao Feng passed by the two people, he noticed that the person behind him, although his head was not raised, was staring at himself with his eyes. Qiao Feng couldn't help but look at the man, his eyes facing each other, qiao Feng exclaimed, "You, are you Murong Gongzi?" Murong Fu did not answer, his body did not move, and his head did not lift. He just glanced at the mountain road behind him, and then looked at Qiao Feng in shock.

Qiao Feng didn't know what Murong Fu's intentions were, and asked, "Murong Gongzi, why are you here?" Qiao Feng and Tong Yao hurriedly faced each other, perhaps because they were afraid that Abi would be sad, tong Yao did not mention Murong Fu, let alone the enmity between several people. When Qiao Feng and Murong Fu were in the Great Song Dynasty, the two did not deal with each other, and Qiao Feng also knew that he was a man, fierce and cunning. It's just that after a long time, they met in the Otherworld, and Qiao Feng had long forgotten all the things in the past, and had the joy of meeting and knowing from other places.

It was just that Murong Fu did not pay any attention at all, and stood bent down with a pious attitude. Qiao Feng also saw that something was wrong and said to Murong Fu, "I will talk to the seniors first, and then I will talk to Murong Gongzi in detail later." The old man waved at Qiao Feng: "Come here, I invite you to drink." Then he rushed to the man standing in front of him and commanded, "Bring your porcelain jar." As soon as the old man's hand moved, he made a clanging sound, and Qiao Feng noticed that his hands and feet were locked with an iron chain each. The other end of the chain was buried deep in the crevice of the stone.
