into delusion

The demon scholar is extremely annoyed now.It took a full half a day for their men and horses to go around the cliff and go deep into the deserted canyon. He thought it was just a simple task of picking up corpses to reassure the landlord, but who knew that the valley would be destroyed? After digging up and down, they found newly fallen blood stains, broken branches, remaining bone chains, and even a small pile of bonfire traces, but there were no bodies of the two of them.

This cliff is hundreds of feet long, and the two of them were injured and fell off the cliff. How could it be possible that they escaped from the valley safely after only one day's work? !

Faced with such a predicament, the demon scholar simply didn't know what to do, but he still thought wisely and sent a letter to the landlord to ask for instructions, and he was delayed for half a day. If he really couldn't find the two of them this time, he might come to see him first. Can't solve the problem.Now is the critical juncture in the preparations for the Su Mansion's major events, and he still hopes to use the head of the boy in black to make up the numbers and give himself some bargaining chips.Let alone the bargaining chip now, it would be a blessing in misfortune not to lose everything.

Now that the two of them have clearly walked out of the canyon, there are so many trails in the Taihang Mountains, who can guess which road they chose.It's just that they can't guess this, and the demon scholar still refuses to give up. After all, the place they are going to has been found out, which is the hidden valley where the ghost doctor Sun Pingqing is.

Speaking of Hidden Valley, everyone in the rivers and lakes may know everyone.Sun Pingqing is a weird person, he only treats severe, urgent, and dangerous diseases, and he doesn't care about the dead at all, but his medical skills are superb, and he has the magic of bringing the dead back to life. Often, ghost doctors have become the last straw for many people, and this Yingu medical studio is also a place that people flock to.

But there are only a few people who can really touch the road into the valley.For Hidden Valley is in fog.

The banks of the Longtan Stream and the foot of Yuntai Mountain sound easy to find, but anyone who comes here will find that this valley is actually shrouded in a thick mist.Longtan Lake is lingering with water vapor all year round, and there are many rare flowers and plants at the foot of Yuntai Mountain, causing mist and miasma to fill the canyon all the year round. Not to mention a small medical clinic, even if you put it in a golden palace, you may not be able to find it.Therefore, ghost doctors are hard to find, and few are qualified to find him for medical treatment.

However, such hidden places are nothing in the eyes of Zhaixinglou.The entrance to the Hidden Valley has long been discovered by Tianji. Although it is impossible to penetrate because of the poisonous miasma, it is really nothing to guard a narrow path and stop two seriously injured people.

With a plan in his heart, the demon scholar no longer divided his troops to find the traces of the two, but deployed troops to firmly guard the entrance of the hidden valley.

Here, the Zhaixing Tower moved repeatedly, and the two people who were fleeing over there also embarked on a journey again.Shen Yan confirmed that the little meat worm could indeed contain the female Gu in his body. To be careful, Yan Mo made a stone cage, and specially asked the prodigal son to bleed out, and lured Can'er into the cage. .

Unable to find any traces of the Gu, and having eaten some delicious poisonous blood, Yang Yucan stopped tossing about and fell asleep peacefully as he encountered.With Can'er's cooperation, the Gu worms in Shen Yan's body were as if they were dead, and they didn't dare to make trouble at all.For this reason, Yan Mo specially tied a green vine to the gabion, letting the prodigal son hang it around his neck.

With this heavy preparation, the journey down naturally went much smoother, and it took another day to stop and go before Longtan Lake faintly appeared in front of the two of them.It just appeared at the same time, as well as some mysterious black-clothed killers.

Driven by nature, Yan Mo did not go directly to the entrance of the hidden valley, but took a detour to observe the surrounding situation.This investigation was good, and with his vigilance, he naturally easily noticed that something was wrong, and there were actually guards outside the valley.Hearing the news, even Shen Yan was taken aback. There are only a handful of people in the entire Jianghu who know where the entrance of the hidden valley is, and there are only a handful of people who are equipped with antidote against the poisonous miasma and can enter and exit at any time. He helped Sun Pingqing get Mrs. Sun out in the early years, and he was afraid that even he would be turned away by the ghost doctor.

It's good now, the only way to survive is actually blocked by a vicious dog, how can it not make people feel bored.Leaning on the mountain wall and thinking for a while, Shen Yan finally sighed: "Actually, if I want to enter the hidden valley, there is still a way to go."

Even fewer people in the Jianghu know about this road, and Mrs. Sun leaked it when she was angry with her husband.On the west bank of Longtan Lake, there is a hidden waterway that runs through the entire valley, and you can dive directly along the waterway to the Yangxin Pool next to the medical studio.If they took the waterway, they would be sure to avoid tracking.

But when it comes to problems, Shen Yan doesn't know how to water.Not knowing how to swim, but also seriously injured, with little internal strength left, it is almost a dream to dive into the waterway, no matter how good Yan Mo's underwater skills are, it may be difficult to make it happen.

However, after listening to Shen Yan carefully, Yan Mo just nodded: "You stay here for now, I will go to the lake to have a look."

Due to the unsafe surroundings, Shen Yan was left in a hidden cave.The vines covered the entrance of the cave, and the sunlight and breeze were also blocked outside the cave. In addition to the existence of this alien species, the Yangyu silkworm, even the chirping of insects and birds disappeared.Quietly leaning against the rock wall, Shen Yan seemed to have fallen into another kind of doze. His mind was still clear, but his thoughts wandered far away. He had been trapped in this vast net for too long, no matter how much he laughed as usual, he couldn't hide it. Inside exhaustion.

How did those people find out where Hidden Valley is?Besides killing him and Yan Mo, what else do they want to do?There are also the theft of Tianmen Mountain, the deaths of Kuyuan and Zhixin, the bloody case in Zhu's mansion, the hidden books left on the couch in Li's house... There are so many puzzles mixed together, it seems that as long as you grab a thread, you can uproot them. Unfortunately, this thread is too tiny, and if you don't pay attention, it will slip through your fingers. If you die here like this, everything will be...

His heart tightened slightly, and the prodigal son smiled again, a flat and insignificant smile.He closed his eyes.Could it be that after being taken care of for too long, he became weak?Since there is still a glimmer of chance, then grasp it tightly and don't let it escape.

After an unknown amount of time, the vines at the entrance of the cave suddenly made a slight noise, and Shen Yan opened his eyes.I saw a black figure walking in, the tattered clothes were stained with water vapor, and looked a little wrinkled, there were faint drops of water dripping from the black hair, that jade-white face seemed to have been soaked in lake water for too long, even the color of the lips was a little pale green.The prodigal son's eyes and lips were curled up, he didn't even need to open his mouth, he already knew the result.

As expected, Yan Mo dropped a bunch of things casually, and sat cross-legged in the cave: "It will take about a while to swim, the lake is suitable for depth, just prepare some things, but the waterway to enter the valley is a bit complicated, after entering In the water, everything must follow my command, and you must not panic."

Yan Mo has gone through many obstacles with Shen Yan side by side, he knows very well that the man in front of him is free and easy, resolute and resolute, and will not be easily moved by foreign objects.However, he still has to say that the underwater world is far more dangerous than the land, and he has seen many high-profile and powerful people in the rivers and lakes, who got confused when they got into the water, and finally died for no reason.For those who cannot swim, overcoming this fear is far more difficult than entering the water itself.

Shen Yan could naturally hear the concern and solemnity in Yan Mo's words, the smile in his eyes became stronger, and he nodded slightly: "It's all under your arrangement."

With this promise, Yan Mo stopped talking nonsense, closed his eyes and began to exercise.It is still too eye-catching for the two of them to enter the water during the day, so of course we have to wait until late at night to make plans.

The moon climbed to the top of the zenith again, and the moonlight was hazy tonight. The thick clouds not only covered the bright moonlight, but also covered most of the stars in the sky.In this dim night, everything in the canyon seemed to become blurred, and the water mist became thicker, making this mountain stream appear quiet and dangerous.Even though it was already halfway through the night, the Tianshu killers guarding the entrance of the hidden valley still did not dare to relax. They all knew that this was their last chance to commit crimes and make meritorious service. place.

However, no matter how concentrated and calm, this quiet path is still as empty as before, and the secret whistle sprinkled into the valley has not moved.The sound of fish slapping the water surface was heard again from the lake not far away, and a killer turned his head unconsciously to take a look, but he couldn't see anything except the still thick fog.The man in black quickly turned his attention, ignoring the calm lake water.

The lake water was colder than imagined, soft and viscous, and everywhere, Shen Yan felt like a flying insect trapped in gum, isolated from the world by a layer of liquid.An arm was tightly hugged to his chest, like the only link between him and the world, and the weak heartbeat coming from that warm palm also made his heart beat a little faster.

A thin withered vine was stuffed into his mouth, and Shen Yan gently bit the cane with his teeth. This was found by Yan Mo from the mountain stream. It was hard and hollow, and he could use it to breathe when diving underwater. .He was injured too badly, unable to sustain his breath underwater, and it would take some time to swim to the waterway, so Yan Mo chose such a compromise method so that they could approach the waterway with as little effort as possible.

This was something Shen Yan had never tried before.Holding the dead vine in his mouth, he blinked curiously.At this time, the two of them were completely submerged in the water, and the cold lake water covered their eyelids, but could not hide his sight.Looking up from the bottom of the water, he felt as if he had entered a completely strange world. The faint mountains were distorted in the water waves, and the stars and the moon had turned into blurred light and shadows. , His hearing was also greatly reduced, but there were more sounds that he had never noticed before. Tiny blisters were emerging from his nose, like round pearls, gently floating towards the water surface.

In this strange world, his body was almost motionless, like a helpless little floating insect floating on the surface of the water, but the current was rapidly receding, and the person beside him was like a fish submerged in the water. The big fish quietly left the lake and led him to swim forward.Shen Yan had never experienced such a strange journey before. He should have panicked at least a few times, but the palm pressing on his heart was so firm and powerful that it calmed down the frightened heartbeat and made him feel at ease. Go with the flow and move forward under the leadership of that person.

The silent stream of water passed by his ears, and for a moment, Shen Yan felt that he seemed to understand the man beside him a little bit.If this world is really not the world he knows, then is he also like a worm trapped in amber, struggling endlessly, unwilling to sink here, wanting to find another way out...

The chest tightened suddenly, and Shen Yan's attention was called back.The people around him gently raised their hands and pointed forward, only then did he see clearly a blurry hole in the lower right, from which a dark undercurrent gushed out, like a beast living in it.Without giving him too much time to prepare, Yan Mo put his arms around his body, kicked his feet, and the two of them rushed towards the cave like arrows.

Compared with diving alone, the speed of leading a person is obviously much slower, but Yan Mo did not stop for half a minute, his legs began to kick the water vigorously, and swam towards the depths of the cave.The waterway was too narrow, and the bodies of the two were so close together that the gabion hanging on Shen Yan's neck began to heat up, as if the silkworm inside had woken up and was hitting its cage with the water waves.

In this shadowless water, everything became chaotic. Yan Mo could feel the heartbeat of the person in his arms getting faster and faster, but the person never struggled, but opened his eyes and watched quietly. In the scene in front of him, his pupils shimmered, as if all the light from the bottom of the water was reflected in his pupils.

For a person who can't swim, Shen Yan's performance was too calm, as if he was watching his own life and death with cold eyes.However, contrary to his calmness, his heartbeat, his pulse, and everything in him are calling for vitality. Even if he is dying of poisoning, even if he is in a desperate situation, this frail body cannot trap the stubborn soul inside him.

This person seemed to let him see his own reflection.Yan Mo tightened his arm tighter.With this life in his arms, even if a ghost messenger comes, don't try to take it away from him, the "Yan Mo".

The astonishing length of the waterway would make anyone with a weaker mind lose the courage to move forward, but Yan Mo is not that kind of person, nor is Shen Yan in his arms.In this almost dead silence, they quickly crossed the waterway, passed through the bottom of the lake, and surfaced again in the hazy moonlight.

Hearing the sound of splashing water, Yan Mo lifted Shen Yan's head out of the water, and just now, the hand that had been on his shoulder dropped down feebly.This waterway was still too long for the seriously injured prodigal son. At this moment, his eyes were closed tightly, and it seemed that he was not breathing between his mouth and nose.Yan Mo has seen too many drowning people, but this is the only one who died without calling for help.

Before he even had time to send him ashore, Yan Mo directly pinched the opponent's purple lips, took a deep breath, and fed it. Yang Qi was injected into Shen Yan's body at the same time.

There was an undetectable tremor on the prodigal son, flicked his fingertips twice, and let out a slight snort.It is very light, but it is the sound of nature to two people.But before he really woke up, there was a sudden bark of dogs from the thatched cottage on the bank, and a middle-aged man in disheveled clothes rushed out of the house.

"Who's there! How did you get in?!"

The voice of the roaring person was not very pleasant, and the messy gray hair was even more eye-catching. As if awakened by the noise, the body in Yan Mo's arms trembled slightly again, and a slightly hoarse voice sounded.

"Old Sun, are you interested in seeing Gu Poison?"
