Yuxu Mountain, Immortal Valley, was a huge valley surrounded by mountains. It is nearly fifty miles long from north to south and more than thirty miles wide from east to west.
Immortal Valley was an extremely enclosed world, surrounded by cliffs hundreds of feet high. The southern half of the land was relatively flat, while the northern half was crisscrossed with ravines and was a vast primitive forest. In the entire Immortal Valley, there was only one small valley that was connected to the outside world.
The small valley was less than five miles long, the widest part was less than ten meters, and the widest part was only forty to fifty meters. The cliffs on both sides were steep and almost impossible to climb.
There was a small path that wasn't too wide across the sky. After walking for about ten miles, they would see a huge village.
This village occupied an area of over a thousand acres. The outermost buildings were all two-story houses made of bluestone, and they were nearly eight meters tall. On the west side of this building, there was a pond that was hundreds of square meters in size. There was not a single blade of grass growing around the pond, and the water inside was never dried up. Because of this stone pond, people named this village Stone Pond Village.
The entire Shitang Village had a unique architectural shape. If one were to look down from above, the outer shape of the entire village was exactly an octagonal shape.
A tall arched door faced the sky. The door was also made of bluestone, about four meters wide and eight meters high. There were two thick wooden doors, each weighing more than a thousand pounds. This was the only way in and out of the village.
In the middle of the village was a square that was thousands of square meters wide. In the middle of the square stood a seven-story wooden pagoda. The wooden pagoda was the center of the square and the entire village.
The wooden tower was pentagonal in shape, and five huge firs with a diameter of more than a meter supported the entire tower. Eight streets paved with stone slabs extended in all directions of the village. Standing at the top of the tower, not only could one see the whole picture of Stone Pond Village, but one could also observe the scene several miles away.
The entire Stone Pond Village was filled with buildings that contained the profound concepts of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams. It looked like an indestructible military fortress!
In the entire Immortal Valley, besides Stone Pond Village, there were more than ten villages of various sizes.
In the Immortal Valley, there are abundant water and grass, and thousands of hectares of fertile land. For hundreds of years, the people here had always lived a self-sufficient life. Although the country had been in chaos since the end of the Qing Dynasty, the people here did not seem to have been disturbed too much. It was as if they were living in a paradise, still living a leisurely life of hunting, grazing, farming, and weaving.
However, with the occupation of Yuling County by the Japanese army, their free life would probably be completely shattered. Because they were like crazy magical beasts. Their evil tentacles would not let go of every place. Their existence would always be the nightmare of the world!

Although it was late at night, Shitang Village, which had been baked by the scorching sun for many days, was still unusually hot and stuffy.
There was no light in the village, and the silence was terrifying.
Suddenly, two black shadows dashed out of the woods at the edge of the village and quickly crossed the stone bridge at the entrance of the village. They stuck their bodies tightly to the tall stone wall.
The two black figures were dressed in night clothes, each carrying a narrow dagger on their backs. Their faces were covered with black cloth, and even their heads were tightly wrapped with black cloth, revealing only two alert eyes.
。
The two of them listened for a while. Seeing that there was no movement, the two of them nodded knowingly. One of them took out a climbing rope from his backpack. With a slight shake of his arm, the climbing rope was firmly hooked to the stone on the wall.
The man grabbed the rope and pulled it hard, feeling that it was very firm. He nodded slightly at the other person. Then, he grabbed the rope and jumped a few times. He was still standing on the wall. The other person did the same and easily climbed up the wall.
On the wall, the two guards were hugging their guns and sleeping soundly. They did not notice that someone had already arrived beside them.
The man in black moved quickly, and before the two guards realized it, he had already struck the Tiantu acupoint on their necks. Unfortunately, their souls had unknowingly left for the West and traveled around the various countries.
The man in black descended the stairs to the ground and followed the flag-paved street. He moved quickly toward the center of the village like a civet cat, and his feet were silent.
Soon, they were close to the square in the center of the village, and their destination, the seven-story wooden tower, was located in the middle of the square.
The wooden pagoda had seven floors and was more than 20 meters tall. There were five solid giant cedar trees supporting the entire pagoda. Each wooden pillar required two to three people to wrap around it.
The person stopped in his tracks and looked around. Then, he tiptoed up the steps. When they arrived at the door of the wooden pagoda, one of them pushed it gently with his hand. The pagoda door creaked open. The masked man was stunned. He looked at each other and nodded before quickly entering the tower.
It was pitch black inside the tower. A ray of light lit up in one of their hands. They looked around in the dim light.
The tower was empty, almost empty. In the center of the tower room, there was a Tai Chi Yin Yang Fish pattern on the ground. The pattern was black and white, with two fish eyes and two round holes with a diameter of about ten centimeters.
Seeing this, the two of them quickly came to the picture and squatted down. One of them whispered,"It's indeed the Taiji Yin-Yang Locket. Get ready to attack."”
As soon as he finished speaking, the other person quickly took out two metal cylindrical objects from his backpack. He handed one of the rooms to the person who had just spoken.
The two of them each held a round hole and slowly put the metal object in their hands into it...
With two clicking sounds, the two of them looked at each other and nodded. The man in black who spoke just now said again,"Get ready! One, two, turn!"
As soon as the man said the word " turn ", the two of them twisted the metal object in their hands in a clockwise direction.
" Caw caw caw…" A series of sounds came from underground.
Hearing the sound, the two men in black quickly jumped back and left the pattern on the ground.
Unexpectedly, the cawing sound suddenly stopped after a few sounds. The two of them looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.
At this moment, a low rumbling sound came from the ground behind them.
The two men in black turned around and saw more than ten stone pillars about a meter tall rising from the ground behind them. Moreover, there was a thumb-sized round hole at each of the top, middle, and bottom of the stone pillar.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh…"
Along with the sound, every hole on the stone pillar was desperately shooting out arrows…
"Not good! Hurry up and leave!"
The man in black realized that something was wrong and wanted to escape from the wooden tower, but it was too late. The arrows that were shot out covered almost all the space in the tower. The two of them had no way to escape…
After two muffled grunts, the two men in black fell to the ground one after another like hedgehogs. Their bodies were filled with poisonous arrows…
" Caw, caw, caw..." The sound rang out again, and two cylindrical objects also popped out from the stone holes on the ground. The surrounding stone pillars had also shrunk back into the ground. Everything had returned to its original state…
