[Sword Three] Mountain Ghost Ballad

Among the endless mountains of the Qinling Mountains, a boy and a girl were riding side by side on horseback. It was Mo Yu and Miao who came to look for Gong Yehan after hearing Mo Zhongyi's words.

Originally, Mo Zhongyi had only heard the name of the Valley of Unfeeling Love, but was not clear about the exact location. Later, he did some divination to calculate the approximate location of the Valley of Unfeeling Love.

The two stopped and stopped along the way, Miao was heading in the direction indicated by the hexagram, but Mo Yu gradually realized that the direction of the Valley of Unrequited Love seemed to coincide with the direction of the Valley of Thousand Flowers in Qingyan.

At that moment, Mo Yu found the spies of Evilman Valley who stayed in Chang'an, and after asking the specific location of Wanhua Valley, he took Miao directly to a group of mountains in Qingyan.After entering the mountain, Miao did some calculations again, and sure enough, the place indicated by the hexagram coincided with the direction of Wanhua Valley.

"I heard that the entrance to Wanhua Valley is extremely secretive, Xiao Yu, how sure are you that you can find it?"

Miao followed Mo Yu all the way, seeing that Mo Yu treated her as usual, not as weird as in the dream, so she gradually forgot about the weird dream before.

And Mo Yu originally wanted to ask her the reason for her abnormality on the road, but seeing that Miao had slowly returned to normal, she knew that she was fine, so she didn't bring up her previous doubts anymore.

At this moment, when he heard Miao's question, he nodded and replied: "The reason why the entrance of Wanhua Valley is secret is that in addition to the advantages of natural terrain, there are also some mechanism formations to assist, so as long as you find the right place and crack those mechanisms, entering Wanhua Valley is not a problem." Difficult. Moreover, as disciple Wanhua moves more and more in the rivers and lakes, in order to facilitate their return to the valley, it is estimated that the mechanism at the entrance will not be too complicated."

Seeing that Mo Yu had a plan in mind, Miao didn't ask any more questions, but just quietly rode forward beside him.

After a long while, Mo Yu suddenly stopped at a junction of cliffs, and saw lush greenery in front of him. A huge stone wall towered over it, covering the sky and blocking out the sun. There were many green vines growing on it, but it was a dead end.

Mo Yuli got off his horse, walked forward a few steps, looked at the stone wall quietly, and then tapped on various places on the stone wall to test it out. When he heard an echo that was different from other places, he resolutely opened the The green vines at the place suddenly saw a narrow gap protruding from under the green vines.

Without hesitation, Mo Yu took Miao's hand and walked into the gap.

Surprisingly, the gap looked narrow from the outside, but after entering, the inside of the passage was quite spacious, enough for the two of them to straighten up and walk side by side.

After passing through a long passage, the two of them suddenly opened up, and a valley surrounded by mountains came into view.

The place where they are now is a high cliff. Looking from here, the valley below is steaming with mist and bottomless, but it is full of flowers and green trees. When you get closer, you can see clearly A panoramic view of Wanhua Valley.

"Amiao, come here!"

Miao was attracted by the scenery of the valley in the distance, and when Mo Yu called out, she immediately came back to her senses, only to find that Mo Yu had already reached a huge mechanism pavilion and was about to start manipulating the mechanism handle.

Seeing this, Miao hurried over and followed Mo Yu to stand still in the mechanism pavilion. When the mechanism was activated, the two of them immediately descended on the mechanism. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "I've seen this kind of mechanism before. Mo family, there are still people who know such a powerful trick!"

Seeing this, Mo Yu said, "The mechanism technique of the Mohist school in the pre-Qin period is the originator of the mechanism technique in the world. Although the mecha technique of the Wanhuagong monk and his party is powerful, it is also passed down from the Mohist school. The rope cart here is not easy to build due to the terrain. But its construction itself is not difficult."

In the past few years when he went to the Valley of the Wicked, he has learned a lot in mechanism art because of his childhood background, but he prefers to study the methods of cracking various mechanisms than making mechanisms by himself.

The rope car soon descended to the bottom of the valley. Mo Yu and Miao stepped out of the rope car one after the other, and walked slowly along a winding path. It was quiet, but there were no people around.

It wasn't until they stepped out of a corner and when the two were about to enter the valley that they met a girl in white at the entrance of the valley.

I saw that the girl in white was not very old, but her demeanor was quite calm, with a medicine basket on her back, squatting in the grass to help a rabbit bandage the wound on its leg.

And this girl has a gentle face, with a happy smile on the corner of her lips, and the gentleness between her brows makes Miao feel a little familiar, and she can't help but think of the little girl who guarded the medicine stove in Daoxiang Village back then.

Miao was not sure, so she looked at Mo Yu, only to see that Mo Yu was also looking at her.

He nodded at her, as if confirming the guess in her heart, so Miao stopped hesitating, took Mo Yu's hand and walked forward quickly, standing still a few steps in front of the girl in white. , tentatively said: "Is it Xiaoyue?"

Hearing Miao's voice, the girl in white who had already bandaged on the ground froze suddenly. She suddenly raised her head and stared intently at the man and woman in front of her. After a while, tears seemed to appear in her eyes.

"Brother Mo Yu, sister A Miao..."

——————————————————————————————————

"So that's the case. It seems that the fates of our little friends back then were unbelievably twists and turns!" Chen Yue couldn't help but sigh when she heard Miao mentioning the experiences of the past few years.

At this time, she was leading the way with Miao's hand, while Mo Yu was a step behind them, walking forward behind them.

On the way into the valley, Chen Yue knew that the two of them were here to find Gongyehan, and immediately said: "Actually, I have seen a person named Gongye in the valley, and they are indeed in the Valley of Unrequited Love. There is a Manluo Villa, but it was established in recent years. I heard that it seems to have something to do with the Manluo Villa in the middle of Sichuan. I don’t know if their owner is called Gongyehan, but Manluo Village The owner of Luoshan Villa is very fond of flowers and plants, so he often sends people to Ten Thousand Flowers Valley to ask Master Yuqing for advice."

On the eve of the change in Daoxiang Village that year, at the request of Chen Shang, Chen Yue was taken to Wanhua Valley by Ziqing. Later, Daoxiang Village was destroyed, and Chen Yue settled down in Wanhua Valley, and got the ten thousand flower seven sages. The flower sage, Yu Qing, liked her and was accepted as a disciple by Yu Qing, and her life in the past few years was considered comfortable.

While talking, Chen Yue led them towards Luoxing Lake.

If she remembered correctly, people from Gongye's family should have come to look for Master Yuqing this morning, but at that time Yuqing went to Sanxing Mochiyue to visit Sun Yaowang, and the people from Manluo Villa were in vain. I mentioned that I would visit again later, so I decided to try my luck at Yuqing's place.

But who knows, just halfway there, he saw a man in black robe approaching him with an anxious look on his face.

When Chen Yue saw the face of the other party clearly, she couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Senior Brother Song, what happened, why are you walking in such a hurry?"

The person who came was Wanhua's disciple Song Tingfeng, who was called "Fengshang Tingqin" by people in the Jianghu. Although his nickname was elegant, his people were full of jealousy, merciless to treacherous people, and also Wanhua's enforcer. Once caught doing evil in the rivers and lakes, they will be arrested and imprisoned in the deaf-mute village in Wanhua Valley.

When Chen Yue saw him walking towards this side with a bad face at first, she felt a little thumping in her heart, fearing that he would conflict with Mo Yu, who is now in the Valley of the Wicked, but after the other party explained his intentions, she immediately let go of her heart.

Song Tingfeng looked troubled and said, "I don't know what happened. Not long ago, many animals in the valley suddenly became anxious, and some wild animals ran around in fright. I was about to rush to Xiaoyao Lin, help the disciples there subdue the frightened beast."

"How did this happen?" Chen Yue couldn't help being surprised, but she didn't have a clue, but Miao next to her felt a little guilty when she heard the words, and Mo Yu's expression became quite strange.

Song Tingfeng was only focused on talking to Chen Yue at this moment, and didn't pay attention to the people behind her. He seemed to think of something, and said again: "By the way, junior sister, I passed by Luoxing Lake just now, and I saw Hua Sheng seemed like I'm looking for you, if you have time, go over and have a look, I still have something to do, so I'll go ahead."

"Brother, go slowly."

Chen Yue bid farewell to Song Tingfeng, and continued to take Mo Yu and Miao to Luoxing Lake. When they got near the hut in the center of the lake, they saw Yu Qing who looked a little hurried.

"Xiaoyue, you are here!"

Seeing Chen Yue from afar, Yuqing's eyes lit up immediately, but she said with a bad expression, "Xiaoyue, there was some commotion in the valley just now, and Master is going to Qingrihai to have a look, but now the manluo villa The owner of the villa sent people here, but the master can't entertain them, so I can only ask Xiaoyue to chat with them on behalf of the master."

Hearing what Yu Qing said, everyone noticed that there was a young woman in a green dress sitting beside the stone table in front of the Luoxinghu hut. She was looking intently at a pot of flowers placed on the stone table.

"Master, don't worry, Xiaoyue understands, you have to be careful on the way."

Seeing that Chen Yue agreed without hesitation, Yu Qing lovingly touched the little apprentice's head, and then turned her eyes on the two people behind Xiaoyue, guessing that they might be Xiaoyue's friends, but now she There was something important to do, so he nodded apologetically at them before leaving.

Seeing that Yuqing had gone far away, Chen Yue walked to the hut, and said apologetically to the woman in green at the stone table, "Sister Gongye, I'm really sorry, Master Yuqing has something important to do right now, so I can't I don’t want to take a step first. But Master, she told me about the cultivation method of this Yutangchun plant before, if my sister doesn’t dislike it, Xiaoyue can explain one or two things to my sister on behalf of Master.”

This green-clothed woman's name is Gong Yefang, and she came to find the Flower Saint this time precisely for the pot of Yutangchun on the table.

The owner of Manluo Villa recently got this potted flower, and he loves it very much, but unfortunately, he has no proper way to grow it, so he can only watch the flower gradually wither. Finally, he found the flower saint, and through Yu Qing's hands, That's why Yutangchun was kept.

She came here this time to bring back the pot of flowers fostered by Yu Qing, and to ask Yu Qing for advice on how to keep this pot of Yu Tang Chun.

It's a pity that she came here by chance, there was turmoil in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, and Yuqing couldn't get away, but she knew Xiaoyue, and knew that although this girl was young, she was very talented in medicine, flowers and plants, and now she If you are willing to tell yourself the cultivation method, that would be the best.

Chen Yue was explaining the method of planting flowers and plants to the woman in green clothes, while Mo Yu and Miao could bear to wait by the side.

Seeing Xiaoyue, who had just shown her girlish appearance, with a serious face, Miao suddenly felt her eyes turn sour, and she felt a little strangely moved.

Only now did she truly feel that so many years had passed since the days in Daoxiang Village, and her former friends had all grown up one by one.However, even if they are not together, as long as they know that the other party is still living safely in a certain corner of this world, and that they can meet like this in their spare time, it is already the most fortunate thing.

Sensing the mood swings of the people around him, Mo Yu approached slightly, took Miao's hand, but didn't say anything, just shook her hand slightly as a sign of comfort.

As soon as Chen Yue raised her head, she happened to see the two partners clasping their hands. She was stunned for a moment, and there was some worry in her eyes, but she was relieved quickly.She walked over slowly and said, "I have already finished what Master told me. Brother Mo Yu, if you have anything to ask Sister Gongye, go there now."

Mo Yu nodded and walked towards Gong Yefang. His expression was flat and he was not polite to the other party. He cut to the chase and said, "Your master is Gong Yehan? If she is here, go back and tell her, the descendants of the Mo family Come here and ask me something."

Gong Yefang found a way to cultivate Yutangchun, and was happy when he saw a young man approaching him without saying a word, and he was puzzled when he mentioned the owner of the village, Gong Yehan, but when the other party said "the descendant of the Mo family "After a few words, her eyes instantly enlarged with panic, and she took a few steps back in panic.

"Sister Gongye, are you okay?" Seeing this, Chen Yue asked worriedly.

She didn't know the grievances between Gongye's family and Mo's family. Mo Yu only said that he came here to find Gongyehan and ask some questions. She believed in Mo Yu's character and didn't have any doubts. She immediately brought him to Luoyang. star lake.

But seeing Gong Yefang's frightened appearance now, could there be something hidden in it?

"Descendants of the Mo family... What exactly do you want to come here?"

Gong Yefang was one of several personal maids adopted by Gong Yehan. Although she had never experienced the family extermination incident of Gongye's family, she vaguely knew that the family owner's enemy seemed to be surnamed Mo.Now this young man claims to be a descendant of the Mo family, and he came to look for the owner of the villa. Could it be that he wants to kill the grass and roots?

Mo Yu saw Gong Yefang's thoughts, although he was a little impatient, he still said, "You don't need to know why I'm here, you just have to go back and report to your owner, as to whether she will see me or not, it's up to her to decide!"

Seeing Mo Yu's indifferent attitude, Gongyefang was startled and uncertain, but because she couldn't see the depth of the opponent's martial arts with her martial arts, she knew that the opponent's martial arts must be superior to her own, so she lost her mind in panic, seeing that the opponent didn't want to fight In other words, he had no choice but to use his lightness skills and leave Luoxing Lake quickly.

If this young man really came to seek revenge, then she must hurry back and report to the owner.

"Brother Mo Yu, as expected..."

Seeing Mo Yu's unapproachable appearance in front of outsiders, Chen Yue couldn't help sighing.

This person is really the same as before, almost unchanged, he is obviously a very good person, but he always keeps a cold face and refuses to be approached by others.

However, it seems that Mo Yu has changed a little bit compared to before...

Thinking of this, Chen Yue tilted her head and glanced at Miao, and found that Mo Yu's eyes were fixed on Mo Yu, with some dependence in her eyes that she didn't even realize, she couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled, feeling a little comforted in her heart.

At least compared to before, now that sister A Miao is with him, he is no longer alone in the Valley of the Evil. This is progress, Chen Yue thought to herself.

After Gong Yefang left, Mo Yu and the others quickly followed her trail, and when they bypassed the Xianji Rock and came to a big waterfall on a cliff, Gong Yefang was completely gone. trace.

Mo Yu knew that there must be a road leading to the Valley of Unrequited Love near the waterfall, but because he didn't know how to enter the valley, he could only wait for news from Gong Yefang.

Simply, the three of them didn't wait long, and Gong Yefang's figure suddenly appeared near the waterfall, followed by a woman in Tsing Yi who was dressed similarly to her.

The woman in Tsing Yi came to Mo Yu, bowed profusely, and said, "Young Master Mo, the owner of my family has an invitation, and please go to the Valley of Unfeeling with your maidservant to have a talk."

Mo Yu nodded, with no other expression on his face, and he didn't seem to mind going deep into the other party's territory. When Miao saw that he was about to leave, she followed him and prepared to go together, but was stopped by Gong Yefang who was beside her.

Gong Yefang said with a blank expression: "Young lady, please stay, the owner of my family has said that only Mr. Mo's is allowed to go alone."

Miao frowned when she heard the words, and before she could say anything, Mo Yu had already grabbed her hand and pulled her over. He also gave Gong Yefang a hard look, which immediately frightened the other party.

Seeing some dissatisfaction on Miao's face, Mo Yu patted her on the head and said, "I'll go alone, you and Xiaoyue wait for me first, I'll come out soon."

Seeing the back of Mo Yu following those two people away, Miao felt a little depressed for the first time. Chen Yue who was on the side looked at it, but burst out laughing, meeting the other's eyes full of doubts, she smiled softly and said: "I also said before that even if everyone grows up, they are still the same, but now it seems that Sister A Miao has changed a lot over the years."

"It's changed a lot... Where did it change?" Miao was puzzled.

Chen Yue smiled softly, her face was gentle, and there was a little memory on her face, and she said: "Well, if you want to say what has changed, I can't tell you the specifics, but one thing that is certain is that it probably changed. , more humane than before."

Miao in the past, in her memory, was an overly quiet person, and there was always a slight distance between her and other people. Even when she was facing Xiao He, who had the best relationship with her, her emotions seemed to always be calm. It doesn't look like much.

Thinking about it now, at that time, she didn't feel indifferent, but seemed to be born lacking the emotions that ordinary people have, ruthless and desireless, like a delicate but cold god.

Chen Yue raised her head and looked at Miao's shimmering cheeks reflected in the sun, as well as her own reflection in her eyes, she couldn't help smiling brightly and said, "When Sister A Miao is with Brother Mo Yu, He looks very happy, and he is not as indifferent to everything as before."

"Is there?" Seeing Chen Yue's serious expression, Miao couldn't help reaching out and touching her face.

She is indeed not very clear about her own changes, because along the way, she just keeps breaking the requirements of her mother before, and then accepts some things that she has never touched before.

From the panic of coming to Datang at the beginning, to slowly accepting everything in Daoxiang Village, and now to the nostalgia for the former partners of Daoxiang Village, and maybe slowly, there are complicated feelings for Tangmen's relatives. Thinking about it carefully, it turned out that she It has been so many years since she came to this strange place at first, and she has somewhat forgotten what she looked like before.

"Sister A Miao, are you going to follow Brother Mo Yu to the Valley of the Evil?" Chen Yue asked softly.

On the way, she heard Miao accidentally mention that they decided to go back to Mo Yu's hometown on the way back to the Valley of the Evil, and this series of events was involved.

Although she didn't understand the meaning of Chen Yue's question, Miao still nodded and said: "Once this matter is over, I will accompany him back to the Valley of the Evil."

Chen Yue saw that Miao's face was calm, and she had no other negative emotions. She couldn't say what she wanted to say.

She sighed, and said with some emotion: "Sister A Miao is now going to the Valley of the Evil with Brother Mo Yu, Maomao is going to the Haoqi League, Xiaobai is going to Chunyang Palace, and I, too, grew up in the peaceful Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers , the flowers are always blooming here, and it often feels like a fairyland, but the childhood playmates from back then are missing..."

"We can find time to get together. Although we are separated, at least we are safe with each other. Why don't we see each other..." Miao took Chen Yue's hand and squeezed her palm to comfort her.

Chen Yue also showed a relieved smile when she heard the words, and said, "That's right, although these childhood friends have gone on different paths now, what remains unchanged is our friendship."

I don't know what came to mind, Chen Yue grabbed Miao's hand, and said with a firm expression: "Sister A Miao, you and brother Mo Yu should also be well together, after all, the Valley of the Wicked is not a good place, the future of your journey , maybe it won't go too smoothly, but as long as you are together, I believe that even if there are any difficulties and obstacles, you can definitely overcome them."

Miao heard Chen Yue's words, for some reason, especially when she heard the word "together", her heart suddenly fell, and she couldn't help but think of that dream again. She felt a little burning on her face, and hurriedly nodded in response: "I will definitely of."

Seeing that she was blushing a little, Chen Yue was even more sure of her guess, and couldn't help but pursed her lips into a smile.

They talked for a long time before Mo Yu gradually appeared from behind the big waterfall. Seeing that his body was not injured but his face was gloomy, Miao couldn't help but walked over and asked, "Xiao Yu, what's the matter?" How is it?"

When Mo Yu saw her, his face softened a little, but he was still not in a good mood. He shook his head and said, "Gong Yehan didn't hide anything, and what she said was about [-]% or [-]% consistent with what I guessed before, but there are still some things. I don't know, we need to go back to the valley and investigate again."

Miao nodded, suddenly feeling reluctant to part with Chen Yue, but also knew that she and Mo Yu couldn't stay in Wanhua Valley for long, so she held Chen Yue's hand and felt a little depressed.

Chen Yue shook her back, and said softly: "There is always a banquet in the world. Just now, sister A Miao, you also said that as long as we are safe with each other, there will be a day when we meet again."

Mo Yu also patted Miao on the shoulder to show comfort, then turned to Chen Yue and said, "Xiaoyue, you have to take care of yourself. I'm going to say goodbye. I don't know when I will see you again. If you have a chance, you can go to Haoqi League and Chunyang visit Maomao and Xiaobai, they must miss you very much too."

He is now returning to the Valley of the Evil with Miao. In the future, when he meets these former partners, it may not be as peaceful as it is today, especially Mu Xuanying. I only hope that when they meet again, they will not confront each other with swords.

"You also have to take care..."

Chen Yue was infected by the atmosphere of parting, and she was in a bad mood, but she also knew that Mo Yu was in the Valley of the Evil at this time, if Wanhua's people found out his identity, they would not let him leave the valley so easily. Immediately said: "Brother Mo Yu, sister A Miao, I will send you out of the valley before it gets dark."

"it is good……"

Miao glanced at Chen Yue, and suddenly turned around and hugged her tightly.

Chen Yue was taken aback, and lightly wrapped her arms around Miao's back, the corners of her eyes suddenly became moist.Although she didn't want to admit it, she knew in her heart that maybe after today's farewell, the distance between them would become farther and farther.

The author has something to say:

Before writing this chapter, I wanted to say a lot, but after writing this chapter, the only thing the author wants to say is: Dongfang Valley Master, you see that the young master has entered, why don’t you hurry up and find your wife (╯‵ ′) ╯︵┻━┻!
