Chapter 83
In the end, it was Chu Liuxiang who found out how to enter the Valley of the Wicked from his friends in the Tang Sect.
In terms of this kind of news, the secret whistle of the imperial court is indeed inferior to the real people in the world. Although Song Chengyi asked them to tell him within an hour, he didn't have much hope.In the end, as expected, Chu Liuxiang was the first to learn how to enter the Valley of the Evil.Instead, news from the capital came from his side.
"The emperor asked the eldest son not to go to the land of tigers and wolves." The shopkeeper wiped his sweat. Of course, what he said was not sent from the capital at this hour, but Song Chengyi sent it out on the way to the middle of Shu to ensure safety and explained the itinerary. The reply of the letter said, "The emperor originally asked his subordinates to prepare a city full of fireworks to welcome the young master back to Beijing."
Song Chengyi could see what he said from the reply letter he got. The little emperor who was far away in the capital was probably afraid that he would resist the edict after reading it, so he asked Anshao to say it several times in front of him.
However, even if Song Chengyi has seen and heard it, what should be done is still to be done.
"After all, I promised him this time that he would rush back to celebrate the New Year." Song Chengyi felt a little helpless as he looked at the four words 'crime of bullying the emperor' that faintly revealed grievances at the end of the paper.
He didn't care about the fact that the secret whistle couldn't quickly find out how to enter the Valley of the Wicked.All he wanted was to go back to the capital as soon as possible after the mission was over.
Even because of this letter, when he took Cheng Xiaowu on the road, he still lacked interest.
Chu Liuxiang saw his depression, and rode to Cheng Xiaowu's side when he returned to the carriage tired from playing: "What's the matter?"
"Does Ah Xiang know how spectacular the fireworks are all over the city?" Song Chengyi looked up at the blue sky and asked.
"I've never seen it before." Chu Liuxiang didn't know why he asked this question, but still replied.
"When I was very young, I could almost see it." Song Chengyi smiled shallowly when he said this, but it was much more real than many smiles before, "I bribed a lot of people with him that time, Finally, I sneaked to the top of the mountain, but was taken back by the people sent by my mother. The people who promised us to set off fireworks in the city at the same time were found and caught in advance. On the way back, I saw one or two fireworks."
Chu Liuxiang didn't ask him who the other person he was talking about was. In fact, he could almost guess it. He even guessed Song Chengyi's identity to some extent.
"Later, we were busy with different things, and we could only communicate by letters when we got together and left more." Song Chengyi sighed, "Now we don't have to be careful and worry about it. He just waits for me to go back and watch the fireworks all over the city together. It's a pity. Gonna miss it."
"The eldest son wants to watch the fireworks?" Chu Liuxiang vaguely remembered that it was because the fireworks caused a few times of large-scale flooding a long time ago, and this thing was directly banned by the imperial court.It can only be set off privately by public organizations.
Major cities including Jincheng also have this ban.
In fact, Song Chengyi couldn't say how much he wanted to see it. The important thing was to sigh at this matter, so he shook his head and said, "It's just a little regretful."
After hearing this, Chu Liuxiang rubbed her nose in thought.
It is no secret that the Valley of the Wicked is located in the Kunlun Mountains. It is clearly a valley that is responsible for "the place where the wicked gather in the world", but it can still gain a foothold in the martial arts. Apart from the vicious reputation of the villains inside, there is another important thing. The reason is the formation outside the Valley of the Evil, which can isolate all those who want to break into the Valley of the Evil.
This place is not something you can enter if you want to, but Cheng Xiaowu said that the person you are looking for lives in the Valley of the Wicked.Fortunately, Chu Liuxiang's friends are not fringe members of the Tang family, and there are people in the Tang family who live in the Valley of the Evil, so they have the possibility of entering the Valley of the Evil.
Before the Valley of the Wicked there is a section of steep terrain, and it is no longer suitable to use carriages and horses.They tied their horses to the river and set off on foot.The closer to the Valley of the Evil, the more nervous Cheng Xiaowu became.
After all, it was in this place that she lost her way and was almost driven crazy last time, and it was also here...
"Xiao Wu?" Song Chengyi's voice successfully pulled Cheng Xiaowu out of the vortex of fear.
She rolled her eyes a little stiffly, and suddenly saw Song Chengyi looking at her worriedly.
"I'm afraid." Tears were already in her eyes, "Song Cheng, you will protect me, right?"
"Of course." Song Chengyi replied firmly and sincerely, "I will protect you."
"Then you have to protect me for the rest of your life." Cheng Xiaowu suddenly hugged his waist and pressed her whole body against him, "Love me forever."
Song Chengyi patted her on the back soothingly and said, "Of course."
No matter how affectionate what he said, it was nothing but a lie.And the three people present knew it well.
With the help of Chu Liuxiang's Tang Sect friend, they walked safely and smoothly to the entrance of the Valley of the Wicked, and what Cheng Xiaowu was worried about never happened.
The formation didn't activate, and they saw the rocks that "entering the valley is like climbing to the sky, come and go this way" without disturbing anyone.
"It's here!" Cheng Xiaowu obviously had a deep impression of this place.
She walked forward, reached out her hand to touch the rock, and felt a little depressed after thinking of something.
Next to the rock is a narrow and winding mountain road, as if afraid that people who come here will not know it, and a red arrow is drawn on the rock to point it.
A road bumpier than the road they had come from was the only way across the mountains and into the valley.
"Is there any danger in going in directly?" Song Chengyi didn't dare to relax, he had encountered too many people and things that looked peaceful but were actually dangerous.
Cheng Xiaowu shook her head, she stopped here last time and did not move forward.
"There shouldn't be any tricks." Chu Liuxiang looked around, suddenly using lightness kung fu, into a gust of wind, he crossed the rocks for a while and turned back.
When he stood back to the spot, he was neatly dressed as if he had never left, and nodded to Song Chengyi.
Now that Chu Liuxiang has confirmed that there is no danger in crossing the rocks, Song Chengyi and Cheng Xiaowu are ready to walk along the road.
At the same time, they were followed by a team of secret sentries responsible for protection.
This is considered to be the boundary of the Valley of the Wicked, so they must be careful along the way.
Song Chengyi originally thought that when they came here, they might be attacked by some villain who was notorious outside at any time, but this road was too peaceful, not to mention the attack, not even a person could be seen.
Nothing happened at all except that the road was unexpectedly long.
The further you go down, the steeper the slope and the more twists and turns the path becomes.They cannot judge at all when they will reach the end of the road.
However, Chu Liuxiang and Song Chengyi were very calm except for Cheng Xiaowu who walked away panting and agitated and then was carried down by Song Chengyi.
It seems that even if this road really has no end, they can keep going.
It was already late when they came, and now the sky was even darker.I don't know how long I walked, and suddenly my eyes suddenly became clear.After walking the whole path, there is a flat valley.
There are several houses in sight, and the valley looks like an ordinary town.
A stone tablet stood not far from them. Compared with the natural rocks on which the words were engraved, the bluestone was like a mirror, and the eight characters were still engraved on the stone tablet as smooth as jade.
"Walk into the valley, into the valley, and never be a slave."
"It turns out that the Valley of the Wicked actually looks like this." Chu Liuxiang looked around and sighed, "Who will know if you don't really see it."
"It looks like a town, but I don't know who lives in it." Song Chengyi put Cheng Xiaowu down and asked her: "Do you know where the person you are looking for is?"
"I don't know. Xiao Yu'er only said that he lives in the Valley of the Wicked." Cheng Xiaowu was also a little confused when he saw the real look of the Valley of the Wicked for the first time.
Chu Liuxiang said: "We have to go in and look for it."
Song Chengyi, however, always avoids evil and seeks good fortune. He can feel the coldness in the air in the town in front of him.As one of the forbidden places in martial arts, the Valley of the Wicked is definitely an extremely dangerous place.If this was a place that was dangerous at first sight, he wouldn't hesitate, but now he just finds it weird.
But Cheng Xiaowu came here to find someone, so it's not a problem if they stand outside and don't go in.
He glanced at Chu Liuxiang, and then slowly heaved a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "We can only go in first."
They thought that something would happen as soon as they stepped here, but the town was still as calm as before, and there were even several people in ordinary clothes who came from the front and passed them.
The more so, the more disturbed Song Chengyi became.After a short walk they saw a tavern with its door open.There were even a few drinkers sitting inside.
"Be careful." Chu Liuxiang, who had actually recognized several people from just now, although pretending not to know in order not to startle the snake, secretly started to take precautions.Now they were about to enter the tavern to inquire about Xiao Yu'er, so they whispered to Song Chengyi.
Although Song Chengyi didn't recognize those people, he had already noticed the change of Chu Liuxiang's state, and nodded to show that he knew.
The proprietor of the tavern is a fat man with a round face and a good smile.It looked that it was not much different from the shopkeeper of Liuke Building in Beijing.
He looked at the three people here in an instant, and greeted them with a smile: "Do you want some wine?"
He asked the three of them to sit down first, and immediately asked someone to bring water and wine.
"Shopkeeper, we are here to find someone." Song Chengyi didn't know how to drink the wine here, so he hurriedly asked when he served the wine, "You have a guy named Xiao Yu'er here."
"It's about the same size as me." Cheng Xiaowu also nodded and pointed to herself.
"Little fish? Not only do we have here, but we also have little wine and little flowers." A girl in blue with willow leaves and eyebrows circled behind her, "The guests might as well use some wine, and let's talk about business."
Knowing that this wine should not be drunk no matter what, but in the current situation, I have been persuaded twice, if I don't drink it, I am afraid I will offend them, and I feel a bit in a dilemma for a while.
Chu Liuxiang picked up the big wine bowl in front of him and smelled it: "The wine is really good wine."
Song Chengyi saw that he wanted to drink, and just about to stop him, another person walked in from the door.
"Eh? It's you?" Xiao Yu'er, who jumped into the door, widened his eyes instantly when he saw Cheng Xiaowu, "Aren't you already dead?!"
