Chapter 8: In the Valley

Zhang Fengyun stood in the center of the valley, looking around at the surrounding environment.

This place is not like an ordinary valley that is transparent on both sides, but is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only one exit. Although the valley is cold, it is not as cold as the entrance of the valley.

There is a small lake in the valley, with several plum trees growing by the lake, but there are no strange beasts. It seems that they have been cleaned up long ago.

The mountains here are very high, about a few hundred feet, and very steep.

There is a hole on the right side of the valley, which is not large, but it is enough for one person to live in it.

"It looks like I'm going to live here during this period."

On the edge of the cave entrance, Zhang Fengyun walked up the steps and entered the cave.

The cave is also full of artificial traces, including stone tables, stone chairs, stone beds, and a new set of quilts. However, it seems that this place must have been arranged a long time ago, and the tables, chairs, and quilts are covered with a layer of gray.

Zhang Fengyun naturally didn't care about these things, after all, he was not here to enjoy his happiness.

After putting the things in his hand on the table, Zhang Fengyun picked up the small porcelain bottle and poured a pill out of the bottle.

The pill is very small but extremely round. You can tell at a glance that the techniques of the elixir are extremely profound.

This pill must have been made by that miracle doctor.

Everything I live in must have been done by that miracle doctor.

Zhang Fengyun became more and more curious about this person who saved him but never showed up.

He has been with Mi Xiao and Bing these days. Although it has not been a long time for a few days, he can also see a person's nature. The nature of these two people is not bad. Although Mi Xiao's mouth is a little damaged, his heart is very good.

Those who develop pets and servants with such personality should not go anywhere, right?

As the pills entered the abdomen, a warm feeling surged out of the lower abdomen, flowing around the meridians, and clearing the chills.

Without the trouble of coldness, Zhang Fengyun became much more comfortable in his actions.

Putting the paper crane given by Old Man Bing and the jade pendant aside, Zhang Fengyun turned his attention to the two thin books. These were two books without names, which seemed to be a bit old. Although they were well protected, the writing was already a little damaged.

Old Man Bing would not give him two useless books for no reason. Zhang Fengyun thought to himself that these two books must have other intentions.

The first book looks like a picture of some kind of exercises, but Zhang Fengyun can't even absorb the spirit into his body now. If he wants to exercise, it is basically a joke.

The second book is more of an archive than a book. It records some of the past history of the sacred mountain, or the history of a certain race in the sacred mountain.

According to the book, this god called the mountain god clan was once the ruler of a large area of ​​the sacred mountain, but it all disappeared in a disaster, and the sacred mountain was gradually occupied by later monsters and powerful hermits to become a place like the temple.

"Is the mountain god?" Zhang Fengyun's fingers outlined the book, depicting the appearance of the gods going up the mountain. The gods' cow head was bent, with sharp horns and muscles. He held a giant axe to open the mountain in his hand, which was very majestic.

Zhang Fengyun took the statue of the god, pulled a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to himself: "It turns out that there were really gods in this sacred mountain."

But what is the purpose of Mr. Bing giving this to himself?

Zhang Fengyun glanced at the jade pendant on the table. He had been in for half a day, and the jade pendant had not responded to it.

Could it be that I was wrong? This jade pendant is really just an ordinary jade pendant?

This idea was quickly denied by Zhang Fengyun. If it was really just an ordinary jade pendant, then he would not even need to enter this valley.

Now it seems that the so-called great fortune should be hidden somewhere in this valley.

There is also the earthly mica. Old Man Bing also said in particular that it will be useful in this valley. From Zhang Fengyun's own perspective, these arrangements should be arranged by the extremely mysterious miracle doctor.

Zhang Fengyun was not impatient with this mysterious behavior. With his personality, if everything was prepared, he would doubt that he had ulterior motives.

So the miracle doctor just gave him a chance to save himself, rather than putting everything in front of him directly.

But if you have the chance, you will die. Zhang Fengyun will naturally not let the opportunities in his hands be lost in vain.

Since fortune is in this valley, then look for it in this valley.

Zhang Fengyun picked up the jade and put it on his neck, and walked out of the cave.

The valley is not dark. Although the surrounding mountains are extremely high, many fluorescent stones grow on the mountain walls, making the place shine very brightly.

Even if the temperature is very low, this place is still a blessed place.

The jade pendant is worn close to the body, and a cool feeling emanates from the mouth of the heart, but Zhang Fengyun only cares about feeling its temperature changes.

The jade pendant changed its temperature as he walked. He circled the valley and finally stopped under the plum trees.

The jade pendant on his chest was extremely cold. Zhang Fengyun took it out and took it in his hand and saw that the jade pendant looked like a piece of polar ice at this time, with some water droplets on the surface.

It seems that this is an unusual place in the valley, but what is the difference between these two plum trees?

On the surface, there is nothing unusual. The plum blossoms grow very well, with a faint fragrance lingering in it. The tender white petals look like beautiful jade, and are so exquisite that they are not like ordinary things.

Even the plum blossoms that Zhang Fengyun saw in the palace when he was young were not as beautiful as the plum blossoms here.

But this is in the deep valley of the cold pool, and there is not even a trace of sunshine. It is really confusing that this flower can be so good.

Zhang Fengyun smiled slightly, reached out and folded a plum blossom, sniffed it gently and placed the petals on the jade pendant.

The chilling feeling on the jade pendant was deeper, and light flashed faintly. As the light flowed, the plum blossom petals gradually withered.

really.

Hanging the jade pendant on the tree, Zhang Fengyun returned to the cave and took out the book of the mountain god.

The things recorded in the book are not comprehensive. Zhang Fengyun read the book for a long time but found no useful things related to the plum blossom tree.

"Could it be?" Zhang Fengyun's eyes turned and his eyes turned on the cold pond on the other side.

It's so cold in the valley that the pool hasn't frozen yet. It's really weird.

He swung his fingers on the water. Zhang Fengyun had no other feeling except for the prickly needle-like feeling coming from his fingertips.

At this time, he suddenly missed Mi Xiao. Perhaps if Mi Xiao was next to him, he might have discovered something.

The water in the pond is very clear, and even the cascading patterns at the bottom of the lake can be seen clearly.

Those patterns do not look like artificial patterns, but rather like the veins formed by the settlement and collapse of the earth.

But how could the collapse of the earth be so big? Although this cold pond is not small, if it is said that it is formed by the collapse of the earth, no one will believe it.

Zhang Fengyun was more inclined to believe that someone should have built this place on purpose.

Maybe it's to hide something, maybe it's to bury something.

Zhang Fengyun stood by the lake and rubbed the jade pendant, but he didn't think of any reason.

Maybe this jade pendant can give the answer. He looked at the jade pendant in his hand and thought.

The light on the jade pendant was still flowing, with no sign of darkening. Zhang Fengyun thought for a long time and finally made a move.

It was really cold beside the cold pond. When he stood there, even after taking the pills, he couldn't stay there.

The jade pendant came out of his hand, and Zhang Fengyun threw the jade pendant out with the greatest strength, but the jade pendant fell into the lake without even flying to the center of the lake.

According to the theory widely circulated on the mainland, there will definitely be some magical phenomenon when this jade pendant enters the lake.

"My body is still too weak now." Zhang Fengyun rubbed his arms and said to himself.

However, the jade pendant was in the water but there was no reaction, which disappointed Zhang Fengyun.

Did you think it was wrong?

The lake water is still very transparent, and Zhang Fengyun can clearly see the location of the jade pendant.

But the jade pendant didn't even move, just lying quietly at the bottom of the lake.

Perhaps because of the refraction of the water surface, Zhang Fengyun could no longer see the light on the jade pendant.

Shaking his head silently, Zhang Fengyun left the edge of the cold pond, but there was no strange feeling.

The jade pendant may be a good treasure and can help him get the opportunity to change his destiny, but he is not bad without this jade pendant.

After all, it is not the right way to borrow foreign objects. He believes that even without the help of the jade pendant, he can achieve his ultimate goal.

Zhang Fengyun walked too fast. If he had stopped by the lake for a while, he would not have had such an idea.

Although the jade pendant at the bottom of the lake did not move, if you look closely, you will find the tiny ice silk condensed beside the jade pendant.

The ice silk is very soft and swings gently in the water. With each swing, the ice silk will become thicker and longer.

These ice silks spread in all directions, but there was no sound at all. Even the water surface was extremely calm without any fluctuations.

The ice silk gradually turned into icicles and floated up with the jade pendant. The patterns at the bottom of the pond were also wrapped around the ice silk, as if they were about to grow from the lake.

The water surface fell silently, and Zhang Fengyun, who was meditating in the cave at this time, knew nothing about all of this.

Outside the valley, Old Man Bing was in the wooden house, holding a carving knife and carving a piece of wood, and a book that was exactly the same as that in Zhang Fengyun's hand was placed at his hand.

There is a statue of god printed on the pages of the book, but the portrait is lifelike, especially the pair of divine eyes, with divine lights on their eyes, as if they are about to come back to life.

Old Man Bing looked at the shiny statue of the god in the book and smiled slightly.

The carving knife in his hand accelerated and murmured: "I really didn't expect that Zhang Fengyun's movements were so fast. I thought he would have to find it for a few days."

In the valley, the water in the pool had dried up silently. As the ice silk was pulled, a sharp thing broke out from the soil layer, like the horn of some kind of creature.
