The Valley of Witch Doctors in the Southwest is hidden in the deep mountains, hidden in the jungle, and has little contact with the outside world. Those seeking medical treatment often stop at an ancient temple in the dense forest, where they wait for the disciples of the Witch Doctor Valley.
The disciples of the Witch Doctor Valley were mostly dressed in black, with excellent lightness skills, and they came and went without a trace. Occasionally appear in the ancient temple, ask him the intention of coming, whether to stay or drive, all depends on the heart. The world hates it.
However, the witch doctor Valley is unparalleled in medicine and poison, and there are still people who seek medical treatment and ask for medicine, and those who want to seek revenge for poison.

Gu Qingqiao touched the trunk of the big tree, spread out his palm, and his palm was covered with bright red mucus. "This is the ancient alkali wood that sees blood and seals the throat. It is very rare. There are only six trees in this mountain. Two are in front of the ancient temple, and four are in the valley for the master to refine medicine."
"Do you still touch the poison?" Mu Xiyun lowered her head and turned over the handkerchief in her sleeve pocket.
"I'm the King Gu, this little bit of poison is nothing." Gu Qingqiao smiled and said, "Don't look for it, I really used the veil, and the veil has to be thrown away." After speaking, he jumped up and picked it up. He rubbed his hands with the rainwater from the huge leaves of a big tree next to him.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be near the ancient temple. I didn't expect that after chasing the beast in the middle of the night, it came here. Why are these trees growing so densely?" Take a few steps forward.
Mu Xiyun followed him forward, looking at the ground carefully. Sure enough, after ten steps, a broken bluestone appeared faintly from the bushes.
"Is it here?" He pulled out his long sword and pushed aside the vines and shrubs on the bluestone, revealing the ruins of a section of stone wall.
"Well, this should be the stone temple. Let me see..." Gu Qingqiao walked along the stone wall for six steps, turned left, took another six steps carefully, and stood still. He also took out a short knife and removed the weeds under his feet, revealing a bluestone.
"Come here!" Gu Qingqiao called Mu Xiyuan, wrapped his left hand around his waist, and said with a smile, "Brother will fly you in."
Before he finished speaking, he saw his right foot use spiritual power and slammed the bluestone. There was a strong force behind the two of them. Although the force was strong, it was not aggressive. come up. Under the strong push, the two bodies lifted their feet off the ground and flew forward all the way.
The speed of the flight was very fast, and the tree trunks on both sides retreated unusually, and the force was still strengthening.
There was still a dense forest in front. Suddenly, a wall of trees stood in front of me. Three people hugged each tree. The trunk was straight and tough, standing upright in front.
Gu Qingqiao hugged Mu Xiyun tightly, turned his direction, turned his back towards the front, and slammed into the tree wall.
"You..." Mu Xiyuan struggled to get out of his embrace, but was held tighter.
The spiritual power suddenly fluctuated, and the back of Gu Qingqiao touched the tree wall. The expected collision did not happen, and the two fell directly into it.
A hanging rattan slammed into the back of Gu Qingqiao's head. He shrank his neck and reached out to grab the rattan.
The giant force disappeared, the two were still rushing forward, the rattan was taut, and the two drew an arc in the air.
At the moment when the momentum stopped, Gu Qingqiao let go of the rattan, and the two set foot on solid ground.
Mu Xiyuan turned around and saw a deep stream behind them. The two of them stood on a small protruding stone platform. A long rope made of unknown material was flying between the mountain and the tree wall. The rope was covered with plants and grew. Dozens of vines hung down in a short period of time, and just now, they were pulling one of them and leaping over the deep ravine.
"I didn't expect the entrance of the Witch Doctor Valley to be so cleverly designed. No wonder everyone wants to find it but it's not available." Mu Xiyuan sighed.
"Hey," Gu Qingqiao said, "What ingenious, we all think that the senior who designed this entrance must have changed from a monkey. Can't you just send it in, you have to swing in the air." After he finished speaking, he squinted. Looking at the long rope in the air, he clicked his tongue and said, "Wow, where did so many rattans come from back then, there were only three or five of them. I said why did they hit me before they reached the place."
The two were on full alert at this time, and each took out their weapons. If there are people in the valley, they barge in like this, someone will immediately come out to investigate.
A stick of incense passed, and the mountain stream was silent.
"Go in and have a look?" Mu Xiyun asked softly.
Gu Qingqiao took the short knife and pulled his hand, "Come on, I'll take you to see the real Valley of Witch Doctors."
On the rock wall of the mountain behind the platform, there was a gap as wide as one person. Gu Qingqiao led Mu Xiyun and carefully passed through the gap.
The mountain gap is not long, and after a few steps, the gap is drilled, and the eyes are suddenly bright.
The pavilion is connected to the veranda pavilion, the bridge over the stream and the water, and there are countless flowers and spirits growing lushly everywhere. The legendary ghost doctor valley is also beautiful like a fairyland.
However, now that the pavilions and pavilions are all broken, the houses and appliances are covered with dust, and only those flowers and herbs are still alive and swaying in the sunshine and breeze.
"It turns out that the Witch Doctor Valley is so beautiful, no wonder..." Mu Xiyun glanced at Gu Qingqiao.
Gu Qingqiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I don't have the heart to be reluctant to think about Shu, and Moyun Mountain is obviously more beautiful."
Mu Xiyun smiled and declined to comment.
The valley is very quiet, and there are no footprints on the thick dust in the pavilion. The two released their spiritual sense to investigate, but they didn't feel any trace of anyone.
"That's weird," Gu Qingqiao pondered: "The prescription is indeed the logo of the Witch Doctor Valley, and it is also written in the secret recipe in the valley, but it looks like it has been abandoned for a long time."
"Could it be that the people in the valley gave up the valley, but established a sect elsewhere?" Mu Xiyuan pondered: "Even more..." He glanced at Gu Qingqiao: "Being controlled by others?"
Gu Qingqiao nodded, then shook his head again and said: "I was an abandoned disciple of the Witch Doctor Valley fifty years ago, and now it is not my turn to worry about this sect."
After working hard all the way to the valley, there was no clue. Gu Qingqiao looked at Mu Xiyuan: "What should I do now? Go back?"
Mu Xiyun looked into his eyes, and there was a hint of disappointment in those eyes. He thought about it and replied, "Didn't you say that you always wanted to show me when you were young?"
Gu Qingqiao's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, you come, I will show you!"
The two walked through the valley.
"This is where the morning class is held. I often sit in the last row, chatting and sleeping when the master is not paying attention."
"Ok, I know."
"How would you know?"
"You are always like this in Moyun Mountain!"
"This is where the disciples practice swords. I use a machete, and I learned swordsmanship in the desert. When the disciples practice swords, I practice swords here alone."
"That tree, that tree! Once again, I went out and tricked a poison seeker, telling him that if he wanted to get the world's strange poison, he would hang upside down on this tree for three days."
"Did he really hang up?"
"No way, at first glance, he looks like a scoundrel and prodigal. I don't know who offended him, so he rushed to ask for poison, and wanted to destroy the whole family. It was less than an hour after I hung him up, and he begged for mercy and left."
"And over there..."
Gu Qingqiao seemed to have returned to his childhood, pulling Mu Xiyuan to run around, excited.
After a circle, both of them were hungry, and Gu Qingqiao went to hunt and barbecue to prepare lunch.
"What do you want to see in the afternoon?" Gu Qingqiao asked excitedly while tearing the roasted rabbit meat into strips.
"I..." Mu Xiyun looked at him: "I want to see the Ten Thousand Gu Cave."
"Ten Thousand Gu Cave?" Gu Qingqiao glanced at him in surprise, then closed his eyes: "What is there to see in the dark and damp stone cave?"
"Because you were once there." Mu Xiyun reached out and stroked his face, making his eyes look at her: "I want to see what kind of place took you away from me for so many years."
"You... there's no need..." Gu Qingqiao choked, then nodded.
Ten Thousand Gu Cave is still within the scope of the Witch Doctor Valley, connected to another mountain, and can be reached through a dense forest in the valley.
I don't know how long no one has been here, and the front of the cave is depressed. Outside the dense forest, weeds are overgrown, but when they reach a distance of ten feet from the entrance of the cave, all kinds of plants seem to be afraid and no longer extend forward. The soil in front of the cave was clean and glowing with a layer of dark red, reminiscent of a bloody battlefield.
Gu Qingqiao looked up at the entrance of the hole, turned around and pulled Mu Xiyuan: "It's dirty, just look at it and go out."
Mu Xiyun nodded and stepped into the cave.
The cave is not big, if it is dark and damp as rumors say. The only light in the cave came from a small hole in the top of the cave, from which the sunlight shot down, forming several thin bands of light.
"I was sitting here back then," Gu Qingqiao looked down at a stone wall. The stone wall was dark and seemed to be soaked with blood. "Looking at the moonlight from the top of the cave. I thought to myself, I promised A Yun to accompany him to watch the moon a hundred times. I don't know if I can still achieve it."
Mu Xiyun turned around and leaned towards him, and whispered, "It's okay, in this life, I'll watch it with you a thousand times, ten thousand times."
"Well." The answer in the ear was slightly choked, and he couldn't make a sound for a long time.
"Qingqiao," Mu Xiyun looked into his eyes seriously: "I took it for granted at that time, always blaming you for not coming to see me, but never thought that you had troubles. People in this world mistake you for it. Harm you, but I don't know anything. From now on, if there is anything, we will bear it together, and I will try my best to solve the misunderstanding of the world about you, okay?"
Mu Xiyun raised his head and smiled, and the tiny light strips formed by the sunlight sprinkled on his face, as if inlaid with a layer of gold. The appearance of Xiaoxianjun under the moonlight that year appeared in Gu Qingqiao's mind again, closely overlapping with the people in front of him.
He stretched out his hand, as if touching a fragile and precious china, and touched Mu Xiyuan's cheek carefully. Soft and warm, the touch of his fingers told him that everything in front of him was real. Pulling people into his arms, Gu Qingqiao tightened his arms and never wanted to let go.
That night, the two rested in the former room of Guqingqiao, and their love was stronger than ever.
Looking at Mu Xiyuan, who was already sleeping soundly, Gu Qingqiao was reluctant to close his eyes. I once thought that I would hate this place for the rest of my life, but now, every place in this valley has become cordial because of his image.
Outside the window, under the cold moonlight, the tree shadow crossed the window, and a black shadow flashed slightly, passing by the window.
Gu Qingqiao got up gently and walked into the dense night.
