The Western Sichuan Plain had magnificent mountains and rivers, and a vast expanse of fertile land. Not only did it have the dangerous Swords Gate, the beautiful Emei Mountain, the magnificent Kui Gate, but it also had the " Green City and the Secluded World ". Qingcheng Mountain stretched for hundreds of miles, like a natural barrier across the northwest edge of the Western Sichuan Plain. It was surrounded by peaks and surrounded by verdant greenery.
On this day, Xu Zhutao and the others arrived at Qingcheng Mountain. They saw lush trees, a quiet environment, picturesque scenery, and unpredictable smoke. Seeing such a scenery, they were in a good mood. The two beauties of the dead souls first took the three of them to visit the famous places on Qingcheng Mountain, and then took the three of them to an inn in the mountain. The business of the inn in the mountain was cold, and there was no one else except them. Xu Zhutao found an opportunity to secretly ask the owner about the location of the Death Soul Valley, but the owner did not know.
Xu Zhutao could only ask Ding Ling and Ding Feng. Their eyes were filled with tears. They knew that Xu Zhutao was sending them back to the Death Soul Valley. They also knew that they had been away from home for too long. Now that they were back at Qingcheng Mountain, they might as well go home.
"Big Brother Xu, I'll bring you to my house later," Ding Feng said.”
"Yes, I will definitely send you to your doorstep." Xu Zhutao said. Wandering the Jianghu is not good after all. The Jianghu will be very dangerous in the future. If I have time, I will come to find you two virtuous sisters.”
The few of them casually ate some food. The Departed Soul Duo led the three of them into the mountains again. They didn't know how far they had walked, but they passed through several dense forests and many mountains. When they reached the middle of a mountain peak, they saw a valley in front of them. The valley was winding and undulating, sandwiched between two mountains. The valley was not steep at the beginning of the two mountains, but the deeper they went, the steeper the mountains on both sides. It was as if someone had used a huge axe to split a mountain. In the middle of the valley, there were steep cliffs on both sides, tall and steep. It's like piercing the clouds.
Ding Feng pointed at the valley and said,"That's our home."”
As she spoke, she led the group into the valley. After another half an hour, they had almost reached the highest point of the two mountains. Ding Feng led them to the left side of the steep cliff and went up a big slope. The slope was covered with strange rocks and plants. She led the group to tie their mounts. After walking for a short while, there were tall trees on both sides of the big rock. They saw a cave behind the big rock. About twenty feet into the cave, there was a very hidden stone door. The stone door was ten feet high and six feet wide. This stone door could not be discovered from afar. It could be seen that the mystery of the Death Soul Valley in the Jianghu was not a lie.
Ding Feng led everyone to the stone door and said,""We're home."
"It's indeed the mysterious Death Soul Valley!" Jade Raksha said.”
"Good Ling 'er, good Feng' er, I'll send you back here. We'll meet again!" Xu Zhutao said.”
Ding Feng walked over and hugged Xu Zhutao tightly. She sobbed,"You're already at my door. Brother Xu, aren't you coming in?”
Xu Zhutao said," We won't go in. You two have been away from home for a long time. Your parents must miss you very much. You must reunite with your family when you return home."”
Ding Feng let go of Xu Zhutao and cried,"Big Brother Xu, how will I find you in the future?”
Xu Zhutao patted Ding Feng's head lovingly and said,"If you really want to find me, you can go to the Wushan Goddess Palace.”
"Ah!" Ding Feng said in surprise. But didn't the Goddess Palace not accept male disciples?”
"I'm an orphan. My master rescued me and brought me up in the Goddess Palace. He also taught me all the skills of the Goddess Palace."”
"No wonder Big Brother Xu's martial arts are so high," Ding Feng said."So Big Brother Xu, you're a disciple of the Palace of Goddess."”
Xu Zhutao said," You two sisters should also practice martial arts diligently when you return home. I feel that Jianghu will become more and more dangerous in the future. I'm afraid that even my martial arts will not be able to make a difference."”
Ding Feng nodded and said,"We'll definitely practice hard!"”
He then went to hug Yu Luosha and Shangguan Wanqian and said,"I really can't bear to be separated from Aunt and Sister Qian 'er. The martial world is dangerous. I will pray for your safety day and night!”
Xu Zhutao looked at Ding Ling and saw that her eyes were filled with tears. Ever since they returned from the inn in the mountains, she had not said a word. Seeing Xu Zhutao looking at her, she shouted,"What are you looking at? I hate you! Get lost, get lost!"
Xu Zhutao's heart ached. He cupped his fists at Ding Ling and Ding Fenglue, then turned around and walked down the slope. When he reached the place where the horse was tied, he held Chaoyun's hand and walked out. He did not dare to look back.
Xu Zhutao held Chao Yun's hand and walked for more than ten miles. He heard the sound of hurried hooves coming from behind him. It was getting closer and closer. Then, the hooves behind him became softer, as if they had gotten off the horse and were walking at the same speed as him. After walking for an unknown period of time, they arrived at the entrance of the valley. They heard the person behind them say,"Big Brother, you're too heartless. You didn't even comfort Ling 'er!”It was Shangguan Wanqian's voice. He suddenly mounted Chao Yun, clamped his horse's belly, and galloped forward.
When he reached the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, he saw a wine shop by the roadside outside the forest in front of him. He jumped down and patted Chao Yun's head."I'm going to drink some wine. You go around for a while.”Seeing Chao Yun nod, he strode into the tavern and called out,""Waiter, serve a jar of Bamboo Leaf Green!" A shop assistant walked over and bowed."Sir, do you want anything else besides Zhuyeqing?”"No, I want wine!" Xu Zhutao said.”"Alright, please wait a moment."”
Soon, the wine was served. He took a big bowl and poured it into his mouth. Soon, he finished a jar of wine. He asked the waiter to serve another jar. Not long after, he finished it again. Two big men sat at the table next to him. They were surprised to see this young man drinking like this. Xu Zhutao didn't know how much he could hold his liquor. He never drank in Wu Mountain before, but he only started drinking when he was traveling in Jianghu. Now, he felt a little drunk. His cheeks were hot, and the breath he exhaled seemed to be spewing fire. He shouted,"Waiter, another jar!" The waiter came over and said,"Sir, you can't drink anymore. You'll get drunk."”"Cut the crap! Again!" Xu Zhutao shouted.”Seeing that he was about to lose his temper and that he had a sword hanging from his waist, the waiter had no choice but to bring another jar over and said,"Guest, you should rest early.”Xu Zhutao did not answer. This time, he directly slapped open the clay seal of the wine jar and raised his head to drink. Gulu gulu, not long after, he finished it again. He shouted,"Waiter, bill!" The shop assistant came over and said,"Sir, four cents a jar, a total of one tael and two cents."”Xu Zhutao reached into his pocket and drunkenly fished out a stack of silver notes. He then put it back into his pocket and fished out another silver ingot and threw it to the shop assistant. He had drunk three jars of wine and was in a hurry. He drunkenly walked into the forest and found a big tree. He then washed his hands there.
Jade Raksha and Shangguan Wanqian bid farewell to the two beauties and caught up to Xu Zhutao. After getting off the horse, they followed him and led the horse. Who knew that Xu Zhutao would suddenly get on the horse and run away. Seeing him like this, the two of them hurriedly got on the horse and chased after him, but how could they catch up? Fortunately, they knew that the fellow was going down the mountain, so the two of them also spurred their horses and chased after him. At this moment, they reached the foot of the mountain, but they didn't know how to chase after him. They saw a wine shop by the roadside outside the forest in front of them, so they walked over to take a look. However, they didn't see Xu Zhutao inside. The two of them thought that he might have already gone far away. Shangguan Wanqian said angrily,"Big Brother is so bad. How can he do this?”"Let's go ahead and look," Jade Raksha said.”As she spoke, she rode her horse forward. After walking for about five miles, she saw Chao Yun eating grass by the roadside outside the forest. Jade Luosha quickly walked over and jumped down to pat Chao Yun's head."Where did your master go?" Chao Yun lightly raised his front hooves and suddenly turned around to run back. Jade Luosha quickly mounted her horse and chased after him, shouting,""Follow Chaoyun!" The two of them followed Chao Yun back to the tavern, only to see him stop. Shangguan Wanqian knew that there was something strange about Chaoyun stopping here. Perhaps Chaoyun and Xu Zhutao were here when they parted ways, but Xu Zhutao wasn't in the tavern. She rushed into the tavern and grabbed a waiter, asking,"Did a young man come here just now?”The shop assistant saw that she was aggressive and had a sword at her waist. He said,"There was a handsome young man who came and drank two jars of wine. I told him not to drink anymore, but he drank another jar!”
"Where is he?" Shangguan Wanqian asked. The shop assistant said," I think he went to the forest in front. He might have gone to clean his hands, but he hasn't come back after a long time…" Shangguan Wanqian let go of the shop assistant and got on her horse to go to the forest in front. After searching for a while, she suddenly saw a figure in front of her. Two burly men were pressing a person to the ground and seemed to be searching for something on his body. The two burly men squatted down and blocked the person who was pressed down. Then, the two burly men searched for a while and took out a stack of banknotes from the person who was pressed down."Big brother, why don't we kill this kid?" The big man on the left said.”"No," said the man on the right. Don't kill anymore since you've got the money.”
It turned out to be a murder. Shangguan Wanqian rode her horse and rushed over. When she got closer, she saw that the person who was pressed down on the ground was Xu Zhutao. She became even angrier and pulled out the Dragon Abyss Sword. She leaped and landed behind the two burly men. The two burly men heard the sound of hooves and knew that someone was coming. The burly man on the left turned around and did not see who it was. He saw the black sword on his neck and was so scared that he did not dare to move. Only then did the burly man on the right see that it was a young and beautiful woman. Her face was beautiful, her nose was sharp, her eyes were bright, and her cheeks were puffed up. All of a sudden, there was a series of rapid hoofbeats. A beautiful woman rode into the forest. She had bright eyes, white teeth, round cheeks, thin cherry lips, a slender neck, and a pair of towering peaks that seemed to be about to break out of her clothes. This beautiful woman rode her horse to the front and gently jumped down. She looked at the young man lying on the ground, frowned, and said,"Qian 'er, ask them who they are.”
Jade Raksha walked over and helped Xu Zhutao up. Seeing that his face was red and his mouth and nose were breathing out the hot smell of alcohol, she touched his face with heartache and did not look at the two burly men.
"Hey!" Shangguan Wanqian said. Who are you two?" He tightened his grip on the Dragon Abyss Sword and drew a bloody line on the neck of the man on the left.
The burly man with the knife on his neck was frightened and said,"I…I…"
The big man on the right said," Wait a minute, heroine. My name is Zhang Hai. That is my friend, Wang Jiang. We don't have a name yet." We will give half to the two heroines.”
Shangguan Wanqian smiled sweetly and said,"Then who is the boss?”
"The sea is bigger than the river. I'm the boss."”
"Do you know who the person on the ground is?" Shangguan Wanqian laughed coquettishly.”
"I don't know. He was drinking in the tavern just now, and we saw him take out a lot of silver notes."”
"So, the two of you took advantage of the fact that he was drunk and sleeping here to snatch his silver notes and even wanted to take his life?" Shangguan Wanqian asked.”
"I don't dare, I just want his silver notes."”
"Do you want to know who he is?" Shangguan Wanqian asked.”
"Who is he?" Zhang Hai asked.
"Him? His name is Xu Zhutao, the Prince of the White Horse," Shangguan Wanqian said.”
Zhang Hai said," He…he…he is. Forget it, since he is Hero Xu, I'll give you all the silver notes."”
When Wang Jiang heard that the person they were robbing was the White-Horse Prince and that he was going to kill him, his legs went limp and he could no longer stand. The Dragon Abyss Sword could cut through iron like mud, let alone a body of flesh and blood. Wang Jiang fell down, and the Dragon Abyss Sword had already cut his throat, causing blood to flow out.
Shangguan Wanqian put away her sword and sneered,"The blood of such a person really dirties my Dragon Abyss Sword!"”As he spoke, he wiped the Dragon Abyss Sword clean on Wang Jiang's clothes.
"What a good Dragon Abyss Sword!" Zhang Hai said. So the heroine is the dragon lady in white?"
"Aren't you sad that your friend died?" Shangguan Wanqian asked.”He wondered how even this little hooligan knew his name.
"If such a bad friend dies, then so be it." What's there to be sad about!"
"Do you know why you're still alive just now?" Shangguan Wanqian asked.”
"It's probably because I didn't want to harm Hero Xu's life."”
"That's right," Shangguan Wanqian said."That's why you were alive just now. But now, I've decided to kill you.”
Zhang Hai knelt down and cried,""Didn't we agree that I'll give you all the silver notes? I don't want a single cent.”
Shangguan Wanqian said," Do you know that my Big Brother Xu went to the bodyguard's place just for the sake of his travel expenses? He went through many dangers and dangers to get this little bit of money. But you guys didn't even have to do anything to snatch away all the silver notes that he had worked so hard to get from the sleeping Big Brother Xu. Do you think this world is fair? Also, your good friend just died in front of you. Not only are you not sad, but you even hit him when he's down. It can be seen how cold you are.”
"I…" Before he could finish his sentence, Shangguan Wanqian's " Thunderous Rage " had already sliced across his neck.
Shangguan Wanqian retrieved the silver notes from the two corpses, then went into the forest to dig a hole and buried the two of them. He walked back to his mount and saw the setting sun on the mountain. At this time, Jade Rakshasa had already brought Chaoyun in and helped Xu Zhutao to Chaoyun. "Auntie, where are we going now?" Shangguan Wanqian asked.”
"Let's go back to Chengdu," said Jade Raksha.
Xu Zhutao was hung on Chaoyun's horse. Chaoyun seemed to know that his master was drunk, so he followed Yu Raksha and Shangguan Wanqian at a moderate pace and headed to Chengdu. At 11:00, Xu Zhutao felt like he was on a small boat, and he woke up not long after. He found himself lying on the horse's back and was so shocked that he sat up. He tried hard to recall what had happened. He remembered that he had drunk too much at a wine shop at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain and went to the forest to wash his hands. Then, she fell asleep in the woods.
Shangguan Wanqian turned around and saw that Xu Zhutao had woken up. She said happily,"Big brother, quickly follow me!"
"Qian 'er, where are we going?" Xu Zhutao urged his horse to catch up.”
"Back to Chengdu," Shangguan Wanqian said. Sigh, Big Brother, do you know that you've already walked through the gates of hell once?”
"Didn't I just sleep? What happened?" Xu Zhutao asked curiously.”
Shangguan Wanqian said," To think that you still have the cheek to teach Lu Chong not to reveal his wealth. How could you forget about it yourself?!"”As he spoke, he told her what Zhang Hai and Wang Jiang had done.
Xu Zhutao broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't expect that he was almost murdered by two thieves. He thought that he shouldn't drink casually in the future. He didn't know that getting drunk would cause so much trouble. He thought of his master's teachings before he left the mountain and the five promises that Zhao Yumei had made with him. He had indeed been a lot careless recently. It seemed that he had started to let loose after gaining a little reputation.
"Fortunately, you caught up with me. Although I might not die in the hands of those two thieves, the silver notes I earned must have been stolen." I can't drink casually in the future."
Shangguan Wanqian asked," Eldest Brother, why are you like that? Are you unhappy because I said that you are heartless?"”
"I'm not unhappy. Where are we going?" Xu Zhutao said.”
" Back to Chengdu," Shangguan Wanqian said." I have nothing to do anyway. It doesn't matter where I go."”
In the middle of the night, they returned to Full Moon Frost Restaurant and the three of them went back to their rooms to sleep.
The next day, after breakfast, the three of them were having breakfast when they heard the customers in the hall talking about the disappearance of the Northern Green Forest Alliance Master, Ma Huateng, and the change of the Southern Green Forest Alliance Master. Xu Zhutao was greatly shocked when he heard that. Some time ago, they had escaped from Jiujiang, but later they realized that the mysterious black knights did not follow them. Moreover, he did not like the people of the Green Forest, so he did not pay much attention to the news of the Northern and Southern Green Forest Alliance.
"Brother, did you hear that?" Shangguan Wanqian asked. Perhaps something big was about to happen in Jianghu.”
"That has nothing to do with us," Xu Zhutao said.”
Jade Raksha said," This matter is a little strange. Ma Huateng insisted on starting a war because he had reaped the consequences of his own actions. Later on, those mysterious people benefited from it. I just don't know what faction those mysterious people belong to."”
