Chapter 346 What Happened Outside the Valley

"Brother, what happened?"

Link appeared immediately and asked.

Senior Brother Shi was just slightly stunned by Link's appearance, and immediately accepted it.

After Hu Suqi agreed to his confession, the two really lived a good life without shame, talking to each other honestly and talking about everything.

From his girlfriend's mouth, Senior Brother Shi learned things that he had never known in the previous thirty years.

I have had many different insights and experiences.

Laugh heartily when you are happy, hold your waist and sigh when you are frustrated.

During their unreserved exchanges, Senior Brother Shi learned about the various miraculous things about his eighth junior brother.

Especially this mysterious way of appearing, so it is not too shocking.

Brother Shi continued to sharpen the knife and said calmly: "An angel came from the court and told Governor Hu to send troops to search the Valley of the Dead, pick the life-extending peaches, and pay tribute to Emperor Kang Qian. If he disobeys the order or fails to do it, he is Yi San. It is a serious crime against the clan. Most of the relatives of the Hu family in Beijing have been put under surveillance. Governor Hu was a strong man and thought he was in disobedience and refused to obey, so he voluntarily went to jail. Su Qi and other children of Governor Hu were imprisoned together."

"So, senior brother is planning to rob the prison?"

Link frowned slightly, feeling that this matter was not that simple.

In this world, immortal martial arts and mechanical martial arts are developing in full swing on the bright side, and the associations and organizations of ancient witchcraft and evil witchcraft have subsided into the shadows. However, the imperial court has always controlled the situation of the world in an even and stable manner. There is no turmoil and it is naturally in control. The most powerful force.

Angels represent the will of Emperor Kang Qian, and it is a matter of course that the team has experts capable of suppressing Hu Suqi and Hu Songqi.

But it doesn't mean that Hu Suqi and Hu Songqi don't have the ability to escape.

Especially Hu Songqi, who is half-hiding in the dark and can evacuate if the wind blows.

Link didn't think that Hu Suqi was someone who could be easily captured.

Therefore, Link disapproved of Senior Brother Shi's reckless plan to break into prison and save people.

The death of one person is a small matter, but the entire Baji Martial Arts Hall is affected by a big matter.

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid."

Brother Shi obviously knew what Link was worried about. He washed and dried the sharpened knife, applied anti-rust oil on it, and took care of it.

"Then what's your plan for Senior Brother to dress like this?"

Link was told that he was thinking, but he didn't feel any strange emotions, such as guilt.

He still asked directly and made a decision in his heart.

If senior brother's plan is not outrageous, I still have to lend a hand and contribute some ideas.

"I plan to enter the Valley of the Dead and look for the so-called longevity peach to see how charming it is to make Emperor Kang Qian make such a foolish order."

Senior Brother Shi's tone was very indifferent, but revealed deep hatred.

Governor Hu is a man who is as strong as anyone else, regardless of his personal ethics, but simply his ability.

This province used to be a stronghold of conservatives, and Tianshui County was not the only county that strictly adhered to tradition.

Since taking office, Governor Hu has established his authority with a seal in one hand and a knife in the other, and then relied on a money bag to seduce people, successfully tearing open the door of the conservatives and opening up the situation.

Since then, the province's economic scale has jumped from the bottom province to the top three provinces in less than fifteen years by vigorously developing the machinery industry.

Link thought of this and said quietly: "Senior brother, have you ever considered that Emperor Kang Qian killed multiple birds with one stone?"

"What's the meaning?"

Senior Brother Shi paused while wiping oil on the blade.

"The theory of longevity peach is not a myth. There are many records in official and unofficial history. Emperor Kang Qian was old and wanted the longevity peach to extend his life. This is one of them."

Link expressed his suspicions.

"Secondly, thousands of warriors are swarming in. This is a force that is not enough to accomplish anything, but is enough to cause harm. It must be controlled."

"Thirdly, Governor Hu has been taking root in this province for fifteen years. He has an excellent official reputation and great authority. He has power, money, and troops all in his hands, which is equivalent to the local emperor of a province! Emperor Kang Qian wanted to test Hu with this. Is the warlord still loyal to him? If not, then kill him. If he is loyal, then transfer him."

After a pause, Link said something that was enough to support his guess: "According to what my senior brother said, Governor Hu went to jail voluntarily and did not resist. This is the great wisdom of Governor Hu. He showed his loyalty and protected himself and his tribe. , and also avoid the muddy water of the Valley of the Dead."

"Are there so many ways?"

Senior Brother Shi was stunned. He didn't think so much.

Hu Suqi asked him not to rob the prison, and they would be released from prison safely, so that was it.

"Senior brother, do you still want to enter the Valley of the Dead, find the longevity peach, and exchange for Hu Suqi's family?"

When Link saw this, he directly exposed Senior Brother Hu's unspoken plan.

"Why!"

Senior Brother Shi sighed and sheathed his sword, "I don't want to anymore."

According to what Junior Brother Lin said, if you break into the Valley of the Dead, you will most likely not be able to help Su Qi, and will instead get yourself into it.

Don't expect Su Qi to be released from prison, and he will die in the valley instead.

After these days of communication, Senior Brother Shi is deeply fascinated and does not want to leave any regrets.

"Senior brother, please go back to Fuli County. Please ask master and master to recall all the disciples who are outside and go to the Mingxin Sword Sect together to avoid it."

Link suddenly thought of a possibility and immediately said in a deep voice.

"Um?"

Senior Brother Shi was a little puzzled.

Is this because he is worried that he will give up openly but secretly still want to enter the Valley of the Dead?

Seeing this, Link guessed what Senior Brother Shi was thinking, and explained: "The imperial court has sent angels, so of course it cannot be ended hastily. I estimate that the warriors gathered outside the valley now will be used as pathfinding stones. If the dead person The valley is indeed as terrifying as the legend says. If all those warriors fill it in, it probably won’t be enough. So..."

At this point, Senior Brother Shi had already come to his senses, and continued his words with a faint sigh: "So the imperial court will definitely send people in to explore the way again. Either to assemble a large army, or to recruit famous warriors in the world, such as the semi-reclusive master, right?"

"Yes."

Link nodded, confirming what Senior Brother Shi said.

"I'll set off right away."

Senior Brother Shi didn't dare to delay and immediately stood up and walked out.

The preparations made for entering the Valley of the Dead can be used just in time for Senior Brother Shi to rush back to Fuli County quickly.

Link watched Senior Brother Shi leave in a hurry, and he did not stay much. He flashed and appeared in the boudoir of Hu Suqi's villa.

Sniff, sniff...

The smell in the room was somewhat unfriendly.

Especially for a "single dog" like Link, it is really a big irritation.

"Gan oh!"

Link rarely cursed.

With a thought, Link lowered the sensitivity of his sense of smell and searched the room.

He did not turn over it with his hands, but scanned it with his mental power.

As the founder of the "Wumai" organization, Hu Suqi has extremely high attainments in ancient witchcraft.

Just as Link had guessed, some clues were left behind, most likely by means of ancient witchcraft.

Sure enough, Link found a trace on the dressing table.

Sisters are indeed sisters, even if they have the same father and mother, and they haven't been together for long.

Both Hu Suqi and Hu Songqi like to make some arrangements on the dressing table.

Of course, this may also be related to the fact that ancient witchcraft and evil witchcraft often use mirrors and powder as casting media.

He opened a small drawer and took out a small round dressing mirror.

Link's thoughts moved slightly, and the small round dressing mirror was suspended in the air, aligned with the center point of the large dressing mirror that came with the dressing table.

A beam of light shot out from Link's right hand, which was pointing at the sword, fell on the small round dressing mirror, and was reflected into the large dressing mirror.

Hu Suqi appeared in front of Link in the form of a holographic projection.

"You came."

"I am coming."

"You shouldn't have come."

"I'm still here."

This projection possesses extremely high intelligence and looks like a real person.

Link became curious about Hu Suqi's technique to achieve this effect.

In the tome given by Hu Suqi, there is no record of any technique that can achieve such an effect.

Either they are the bottom of the box, or they are newly created.

The former is more likely.

Hu Suqi said at this time: "My Hu family will definitely be able to survive this crisis safely. Watch your senior brother and don't let him do something stupid."

"Don't worry, I've been persuaded."

Link replied calmly.

"What does he want to do?"

Hu Suqi was stunned when he heard this and asked with concern.

"He wants to go into the Valley of the Dead and find the longevity peach in exchange for your safety."

Link didn't hide anything, he told the truth.

"How silly!"

Hu Suqi cursed lightly, but a look of happiness appeared in her eyes and face.

It's nice to have someone who is willing to devote himself to her.

At this time, Hu Suqi's projection fluctuated, showing signs of instability.

She quickly left a piece of advice and then disappeared: "Don't enter the Valley of the Dead before July 15th."

"July 15th?"

Link looked at the original position of the small round dressing mirror that turned into ashes and disappeared into the air, and murmured to himself.

July 15th is the Ghost Festival, also known as the Ghost Festival.

Every place where Taoist culture has influence in this world has the custom of celebrating this festival.

Linking the time point of the Ghost Festival to the formations in the Valley of the Dead and the evil power of the longevity peach tree, Link instantly had some guesses.

But these don't have much to do with him now.

"Um?"

Link suddenly noticed something strange and turned to look at the 9 o'clock direction.

His eyes were shining brightly, penetrating through the curtains and walls, traveling through space, and directly "seeing" into the Governor's Mansion.

In a courtyard, an old Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe was opening an altar to perform rituals.

Strange fluctuations surged out in all directions, exploring the entire provincial capital and beyond.

Are you trying to find all the hidden warriors or warlocks outside the city?

"Taoism?"

Link didn't care about the old Taoist priest's purpose, he only cared about the method the old Taoist priest was using at the moment.

"who!"

The old Taoist priest who was doing this was on a whim and was horrified. He felt a pair of eyes watching him, and he couldn't help but let out a loud shout.

"You really have some skills."

Link withdrew his gaze in time, cut off all traces of his presence in Hu Suqi's bedroom, and disappeared quietly.

With just one glance, Link saw a lot of things.

The Taoist techniques mentioned by Master Jingxu do exist, and they are not much different from the Taoist techniques used in Link's memory of his previous life (?), such as stepping on a gang and fighting with fists and chanting incantations.

"It's getting more and more interesting."

Link's whole figure shrunk and he appeared outside the Valley of the Dead. He recalled the sound attack technique contained in the old Taoist priest's roar and let out a sigh.

Immortal martial arts, mechanical martial arts, ancient witchcraft, evil witchcraft, Taoism, and alchemy.

The extraordinary way in this world is quite complicated.

and……

The history of successfully ascending to the upper world but no news of it, and large formations like the Valley of the Dead reveal many extraordinary places worth exploring.

Thinking of exploring the Valley of the Dead, Link couldn't help but cast his gaze downwards.

More than 1,500 exploratory robots sent by a certain force of mechanical martial arts successfully cleared away the fog that filled the valley entrance.

However, after a few days, some distance was advanced and a great price was paid.

A rough look shows that more than 1,200 robots have been completely destroyed, leaving only more than 300 scarred robots still working reluctantly.

Those second-level mechanical martial arts warriors who control the robots are under the supervision of the imperial army, forcibly squeezing themselves, instructing the robots to explore roughly and trigger traps.

The group of warriors gathered outside the valley had been completely controlled by the tyrannical army led by Governor Hu.

The cannons were set up and the army formed a formation. Not to mention the more than 3,000 warriors of different realms, even if there were more than 3,000 more, as long as they dared to resist, they would only end up being slaughtered.

Even if a warrior at the peak of Dongxu Realm like Li Shuwen comes, he can be strangled by the formation of the army.

Even the imperial army will pay high casualties.

"who?"

In the military camp guarding the group of warriors outside Ashi Valley, a thunderous scolding suddenly sounded.

There was a clang.

A military general in full armor broke through the camp gate, flew into the sky above the military camp, and began to search around.

There was an immediate reaction in the military camp.

Groups of fully armed soldiers quickly formed a small formation with extremely skillful movements and extremely fast speed.

Qi and blood smoke rose into the sky, and true energy and true energy surged crazily.

In an instant, the light and shadow of a colorful giant tiger was summoned by the newly formed small army formation in the large army formation. With a roar, it landed beside the armored general.

Link, who was not discovered by the general, actually felt like he was being watched.

It's not too creepy, but it's a bit sharp.

Apparently, the giant tiger of light and shadow discovered Link.

"He Fang Xiaoxiao dares to peek into my Dayong Army Camp. He deserves to be punished!"

The armored general immediately followed the sight of the giant tiger of light and shadow, stared at the void where Link was standing, raised the green dragon halberd in his hand, shouted loudly, and slashed down with the halberd.

Loud shouting is a sound attack technique, which is like a tiger's roar, shocking people's hearts.

The true Gang light wave produced by the Green Dragon Halberd's chop really looks like a Green Dragon.

They all attack Link.

"Ah!"

Link actually had time to let out a chuckle, but he didn't dodge, and he was hit by a roar and a blow.

As early as when the figure was discovered, Link had already used the techniques of clone and transformation.

What's left behind is just a clone that can die miserably no matter how miserable it is.

As for Link's real body, after getting rid of the lock of the giant light and shadow tiger, he "personally" experienced the attack strength of the armored general.

"If senior brother comes, I'm afraid he's already dead."

After pondering and comparing, Link made a judgment in his mind.

The armored general also practices human immortal martial arts. Like his senior brother, he is in the early stage of Guiyi Realm.

But with the help of the military formation, it is possible to launch an attack comparable to the Dongxu Realm.

This is just a battalion of partial generals, and their rank is not high.

The Dayong Dynasty was a powerful force in the world and lived up to its name. (End of chapter)
