Enter the Valley of Souls
Thick fog filled the valley, but there was no fog outside the valley, as if suppressed by some invisible force.
Looking at the Valley of the Soul of War, Yunfang collected herself, and her expression gradually became firm. She has been a teacher for many years, and she has always had a strong sense of responsibility. Now that the life and death of the students are unknown, she is willing to take risks and go to the valley to find them.
Zhao Rui saw Yunfang's expression and understood her thoughts, so he patted her on the shoulder lightly and said, "Let me go. You wait for me at Taniguchi."
Yunfang was slightly startled, and she couldn't help feeling grateful, but she stretched out her slender hand and grabbed Zhao Rui's sleeve, she would rather enter the valley by herself than Zhao Rui to take risks.
Zhao Rui nodded at Yunfang, shook her hand tightly, and said with a smile, "Don't worry."
Yunfang really wanted to go into the valley with Zhao Rui, but she knew that her abilities were limited, if there was any danger in the Valley of the Soul of the Soul, she might become a burden if she followed, so she let go of her hand, gnashing her teeth lightly With red lips and a pretty face full of worry, she watched him leave.
"Ah! Teacher, do you really want to enter the Valley of Souls?" Seeing that Zhao Rui was determined to enter Valley of Souls, Li Desheng couldn't help being shocked, his expression changed, and he quickly reached out to stop him, "You Don't you want to die? It's an extremely dangerous place! As long as you enter, there will be death and no life! What I told you is not a joke, but a fact! Your students have already entered the Valley of War Souls , is definitely dead, don’t look for it anymore, go back, why bother to lose your own life?”
Zhao Rui smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I can't just leave my students behind like this, I must bring them out."
After speaking, he strode towards the Valley of Battle Souls.
"Alas! It's a pity, a pity, it's rare to have such a responsible teacher who just gave up his life for nothing." Li Desheng shook his head and sighed heavily.
Seeing Zhao Rui's back disappearing into the thick fog, Yun Fang couldn't help praying silently, hoping that Zhao Rui could bring Zhou Tao and Zhang Lan out of the Valley of War Souls safe and sound.
The valley leading to the outside of the valley is long and narrow, with cliffs on both sides and a very wide ring in the middle. It is because of its terrain that if an ambush is set here, thousands of troops can be trapped easily. die in it.
The further you go, the thicker the fog becomes. With Zhao Rui's extraordinary eyesight, he can't see clearly even ten meters away. If it's an ordinary person, it's hard to see his fingers. In this environment, it is equivalent to being blindfolded and fighting, and it is easy to be attacked by the ghosts of the valley.
As soon as he entered the Valley of War Souls, Zhao Rui clearly felt that there was an invisible force in this valley, suppressing everything, even his perception was suppressed, but his hearing was not affected in any way, and he could still hear very clearly. movement in a distant place.
Zhao Rui was slightly surprised, this was something he had never encountered before.
He didn't expect that the power contained in the Battle Soul Valley was so powerful that it even suppressed his perception!
Zhao Rui became more vigilant in his heart, raised his true energy to the peak, and walked into the valley quickly while being fully on guard.
A gust of cold wind, blowing from the front, is biting cold.
The mouth of the valley is very narrow, passing between the two cliffs at the mouth of the valley, about four or five hundred meters away, the narrow cliffs on both sides suddenly disappear, and there is a sea of fog in front of it, probably at the end of the passage into the valley, and there is an open space in front of it. zone.
At this moment, Zhao Rui suddenly discovered that there was a huge stone tablet erected on his left hand side. The upper half of the stone tablet was engraved with the word "Chi" and some Taoist talismans, and the lower half was the inscription.
The inscriptions are obviously written by the ancients, and they are all recorded in classical Chinese. Some parts are already incomplete. It probably means that Meng Kai, the soaring general Huang Chao at the end of the Tang Dynasty, was ambushed here by the Tang army, and all 10,000 elite soldiers were wiped out. Thousands of people died later. After the death of the soldiers, the souls of Meng Kai lingered, and Meng Kai's soul was cultivated and formed. He never forgot the old master Huang Chao, and led his ghost warriors out of the valley, causing the people around the Valley of War Souls to suffer, and countless people were killed and injured.
Master Tongxuan Xiansheng of Longhu Mountain passed by here, fought fiercely with Meng Kai, and set up a soul-suppressing stone and a big Yin-Yang Beidou Guyue formation to seal off the Valley of War Souls, so that the undead in the valley can no longer go out to do evil. At the end of the inscription, people who see this inscription are reminded to return from the original road immediately and do not go any further.
This stone tablet is the soul-suppressing stone set by Master Tongxuan Xiansheng. It is very old, with many cracks and moss growing on it. Some moss on the inscription was picked off by someone. It is obvious that Zhou Tao and Zhang Lan have seen the inscription.
"Kill thousands of people with force?" Zhao Rui's expression changed. Meng Kai seemed not only a fierce general, but also an ancient warrior or a low-level cultivator. After his death, he practiced for a thousand years, so it must be even more terrifying!
However, Zhao Rui didn't have any fear in his heart. He had a tenacious character and would never give up until he reached his goal. Since he had already made up his mind to rescue the two students, even if there was a dragon's pool and a tiger's den in front of him, he would still do the same Go in without hesitation!
Zhao Rui stepped into the range of the soul-suppressing stone seal, and heard countless shouts of killing, the sound of weapons clashing, the sound of bows and arrows piercing the air, and the screams of the dying, as if he was in an ancient battlefield thousands of years ago. Fighting back and forth, slaughtering each other, blood and flesh flying everywhere, but the eyes can't see half of the figure, this kind of situation is creepy.
There was chaos in Battle Soul Valley, and it was weird and difficult to understand. Zhao Rui didn't dare to let the second soul out casually.
Fortunately, there are few people here, and he happened to find the footprints of Zhou Tao and Zhang Lan on the way, so he followed the footprints and searched forward.
The footprints of the two students were messy, probably because the fog in the valley made them lose their direction. Zhao Rui followed the footprints and walked around a few times, gradually going deep into the center of the Valley of War Souls.
Zhao Rui passed among several dead old trees, and found a pile of rocks in front of him, and suddenly heard a familiar voice saying: "I told you that you shouldn't come in, you've lost your way." !"
"Do you think what's written on that stone tablet is true?"
Zhao Rui couldn't help being overjoyed. He had identified the two voices as Zhou Tao and Zhang Lan.
It turned out that nothing happened to them, they just lost their way!
Zhao Rui immediately walked towards the direction of the voice, and said loudly, "Zhou Tao, Zhang Lan, I'm Teacher Zhao, come quickly."
"We go in one direction and we will definitely find the exit."
"Huang Chao's army eats people, it's recorded in history!"
Zhao Rui's heart sank. The voices of the two students were right next to his ears, but they were missing, and the conversation between the two didn't match up. let it out.
Zhao Rui felt that things were getting more and more complicated, and the weirdness of Battle Soul Valley was far beyond imagination. If he didn't think of a way, Zhou Tao and Zhang Lan would definitely not be able to go back.
"No, why are we back here again? This big tree has my mark on it."
"Go back quickly, or you won't be able to catch up with the assembly time."
Zhao Rui listened carefully to the messy conversation left by Zhou Tao and Zhang Lan, hoping to get some clues from it.
The dense fog in the "chaotic" pile of stones surged unusually, and there was the sound of rumbling horseshoes, mixed with the sound of armor rubbing against each other, it seemed that a cavalry team passed by in front!
Without hesitation, Zhao Rui put his toes on the ground, and jumped forward quickly. Sure enough, in the thick white fog, there were hundreds of people wearing bright light armor, holding spears and big knives, with black hair floating all over their bodies. The ancient cavalry in the fog is slowly going away.
Among them, two cavalrymen held a person under their arms. Judging from their attire, they were Zhou Tao and Zhang Lan!
At this moment, the weird cavalry team also found Zhao Rui.
Immediately, several cavalry turned around and rushed towards Zhao Rui.
These cavalrymen looked fierce, their eyes were red and fierce, and they exuded a strong evil spirit. Even their mounts had red eyes, and their expressions were ferocious. It looks like a horse, but it looks more like a beast that chooses to eat people!
Zhao Rui immediately concluded that they were the ghost warriors mentioned in the Gukou inscription!
A long distance away, a ghost warrior suddenly raised his hand, a piercing roar sounded suddenly, and a spear shot towards Zhao Rui.
When he was about to "shoot" in front of him, Zhao Rui discovered that the spear was actually made of a white bone, and the tip of the spear exuded a frightening yin energy. Once an ordinary person touched it, he would surely die!
However, Zhao Rui is not an ordinary person, but a cultivator.
With five fingers, like iron tongs, he firmly grasped the shot bone spear, and then raised his backhand. The bone spear screamed and bounced back at a speed a hundred times faster than before.
The ghost warrior didn't even have time to react, and the bone spear passed through his chest.
The yin energy on this bone spear is extremely powerful, and it is also effective on the ghost warrior. The ghost warrior let out a shrill hiss and fell off his horse. Wisps of black energy continued to emerge from the wound, and finally turned into a puff of black energy , burst open and disappeared.
Seeing that their companions were eliminated, the other two ghost warriors couldn't help being shocked and angry. They had been roaming freely in the Valley of War Souls for a long time, and no one could do them any harm!
The previous intruders would tremble in front of them and let them be slaughtered.
However, today's intruder was not only not afraid, but even killed one of their companions!
This has never happened in the past few hundred years!
They turned their horses' heads around, brandished the bone long knives that radiated Yin Qi, hissed and screamed angrily, and rushed towards Zhao Rui from left to right, the momentum was astonishing!
Zhao Rui snorted coldly, without dodging or evading, mobilized his true energy, and clenched his five fingers into a fist.
When the ghost warriors approached, he swung his fist fiercely, and the blue true energy, like flames, erupted from his iron fist, engulfing the two ghost warriors instantly!
The two ghost warriors seemed to be ignited, and their whole bodies were burned. In less than a second, they were burnt out of their wits, leaving no ashes behind!
