God catches no trace

Chapter 69 Valley

Chapter 14: The Valley
After Shui Sheng and Sang Wuhen separated, they immediately showed their super lightness skills and ran towards Wuhu Town.

It took about seven or eight hours to reach the wooden house where Murou lived.

When she held her breath, avoiding the poison released by the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, she came to the door.

It surprised Mu Rou who just came back.

And Yan Yan was extremely pleasantly surprised.

"Sister, why are you here?" After finishing speaking, like a three-year-old child, she burst into tears and hugged each other.

"I miss you and have a look, okay?" Shui Sheng hugged her.

"Liar." Yan Yan let go, left, and said with a smile, "I know my sister is busy, so you must find Master." After speaking, she turned to the room.

Shui Sheng knew, and went to serve tea.

"Sister Mu, I have something important to tell you."

Standing outside the door, Mu Rou could not understand the urgency of the words. "What's the matter, it's not too late to talk about it when you enter the house."

"Okay." As soon as the word was uttered, he stepped in.

In the middle of the hall
The two sat down separately.

Mu Rou smiled: "What's the matter? Make my sister so anxious."

"us……"

"Sister, please drink tea." After saying two words, Yan Yan appeared in front of her with a plate.

"Thank you sister." Shui Sheng picked up a glass and drank it down.

Apparently, he was indeed thirsty.

"Let's talk." Mu Rou also picked up a cup, and slowly took a sip.

She glanced at Yan Yan, then at Mu Rou, and stopped talking.

Mu Rou understood the meaning: "It doesn't matter, just say it, no matter what happens, you can't hide it from her."

Hearing this, Shui Sheng was suddenly moved by something inexplicable: Sister Mu regarded Sister Yan Yan as a family.

"What, master, sister." Yan Yan looked at them with strange expressions.

"It's nothing, just listen."

"Yes, yes, yes, listen to my sister." The small mouth pouted and the eyes were slightly closed, looking extremely cute.

"We found a wooden box in the Xushen Temple, which contained the last words of Sister Mu's master Cheng Sanjiu and his bones."

"What?" Mu Rou stood up in shock. "Master is dead."

Yan Yan was inexplicably strange.

"Indeed, nearly five years."

Mu Rou's eyes turned red, she sighed, and said in a low voice: "No wonder, there has been no news from all this time."

"Brother Wuhen specially asked me to call you to go and collect your master's bones together."

"Where? And how did you die?"

"In a hut in Wuling Mountain, as for how to die, we will naturally know when we get there."

"It's not too late, how about leaving now?" It was Mu Rou's turn to be anxious.

"That's exactly what I mean." After Shui Sheng finished speaking, she stood up.

"Master, sister, I want to go too." Yan Yan begged in a low voice.

"Forget it, you should practice hard at home, and you will have more time to venture into the rivers and lakes in the future."

"Okay." Although I was a little reluctant in my heart, how could I disobey my master's order.

Shui Sheng couldn't say anything at the side.

.........

There is no zero mountain.

It is about 100 miles away from Tanzhou.

Although it is not big, it has abrupt cliffs from a distance, strange peaks and strange rocks, and thick and thin clouds and mist coiling around it.

A mountain road, winding and rugged like a python, tightly entangles it.

It's noon, it's hot.

In the mountainside.

Two people, woman.

Shui Sheng and Mu Rou are standing and resting under the shade of a tree by the side of the road.Maybe he just ran from the foot of the mountain, and his face was still dripping with sweat.

"How do we find it?"

"The letter says that it is in the mountains, and I want to go from here to a place with no road."

"That is to go into the deep mountains and wild forests."

"Ah."

"Based on my younger sister's skill, there shouldn't be any accidents to worry about."

"My sister is making fun of me." Shui Shengyue said.

"Honestly, let's go." With light steps, he walked into the deep mountains.

Shui Sheng looked at Mu Rou's figure, sighed softly, then took out a small knife from her waist, and carved a deep mark on the tree where she was enjoying the shade.Then, with a flash, he followed in.

There is no road in the mountain, so we can only rely on the distance between trees to walk slowly.

"Sister, I'm bored, I want to ask you something private."

"Sister, say it."

"Do you like Brother Sang?"

Shui Sheng blushed and nodded vigorously.

"Does he like you?"

She hesitated, not knowing how to answer.

"how?"

"I, I don't know, no matter what, I will follow him for the rest of my life." Saying this, there was a trace of determination in his eyes.

"Okay, if I have a chance, I'll ask you Brother Sang for you."

The two chatted while walking, unknowingly, they had shuttled for more than three or four trips.

The mountain is a bit strange. The deeper you go, the bigger the trees are looser and the weeds are less. Occasionally, you can see strong sunlight.

Shui Sheng looked down at this moment, and the ground was full of huge rocks.

A few steps forward, they found that they had reached the edge of the mountain, that is to say, they had walked the entire diameter of the mountain.

"Where's the hut? Why didn't you see it?" Mu Rou was a little surprised.

"Yeah, could it be that I found the wrong one?"

"Maybe on the side or on the opposite mountain." Mu Rou pointed to the front and explained to herself.

Shui Sheng looked around and realized that the two of them had just walked a mountain peak.

"Sister, look below."

Hearing the words, she lowered her head and looked down, and there was a row of small houses in the valleys of the surrounding mountains, and there was a larger pool in front of the houses.

Due to the overgrowth of weeds and the shade of trees, it is difficult to find it when standing on the mountainside without paying attention.

"Go and have a look." Shui Sheng called out.

Immediately, with a movement of his feet, his body floated down.

This drift was several zhang away.

Looking at the back, Mu Rou exclaimed in her heart: "My sister's lightness skill is truly unmatched by anyone in the world." After thinking about it, she also ran to the bottom.

It seems very close, but it is not.

Shui Sheng's qinggong is so excellent that it took nearly 10 minutes to reach the valley bottom.

As soon as he stood firm, he glanced around.In front of my eyes, apart from small stones and grass more than a foot deep, there is also a pool of water below, and there is no way to see.

"Strange?" said to himself.

"That's right, there must be people living here, but why isn't there a way to walk?" Mu Rou who just got down answered the question, pointing to the house not far ahead.

"Sister, are you thirsty? Let's go down and drink some water, wash our face, and then ask the residents what the place is?" Due to the scorching heat, Shui Sheng didn't answer the question directly, but made a suggestion.

"Okay, anyway, the face is dirty, wash it and clean it up."

The pool is only ten meters away from the flat ground.

The two stepped on the stones and walked down quickly.

It has a large area, at a glance, it is almost 60 meters wide.

At this time, the water surface is calm and the mountain shadows are clear.

Many boulders lie horizontally on the bank, and weeds are next to each other.

They took off their shoes and entered the water at the same time, and they felt cool and comfortable.

Then he bent down, brought his face to the surface of the water, and sucked in the clear and clean water with his small mouth.

Very sweet taste.Shui Sheng admired it.Then he took a few more breaths, washed his face with his hands, and then stood up.

"Sister, are you alright?"

"Yeah. Almost." Murou wiped her face with her sleeve, and looked up at the sky, "Sister, I'm afraid I'm going to spend the night here tonight." Because I understand that in this isolated deep valley, what kind of inn, tavern? , without even thinking about it.

"It's definitely here, let's go up and ask if any residents have spare rooms?" After finishing speaking, they turned around and took Mu Rou's hand and went ashore together, putting on their shoes.

"Sister, if we walk by the water, we will definitely find the steps from top to bottom."

Shui Sheng understood the meaning: there are too many weeds on the flat ground above, which makes people feel too hot, but it will be cooler below because it is close to the water.

So, he nodded: "People who live here use pond water for eating, drinking and washing, so it's only natural that there is a staircase."

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go." Mu Rou smiled at Shui Sheng and started walking.

The two walked forward one after the other.

About 200 meters.

At a corner, Mu Rou stopped. "It seems to be here?"

Shui Sheng, who was walking behind, felt amused when he heard the words: Impossible, can't you tell if it's the steps?
However, when I looked at it with my own eyes, I was also confused: the place where my sister was standing, from top to bottom, there were indeed steps paved with stones, which made people wonder: every step was surrounded by weeds, as if It's like no one ever came down.

She turned her head again and glanced towards the water's edge.

"It should be." The tone was sure.

Because, there is a wooden frame on the surface of the water, made of planks and sticks, which is a special place for people to wash clothes and carry water.

It's a pity that there is already a thick layer of moss on the wooden boards near the water.

Apparently, no one has been here for a long time.
