Entering the heart of the mountain, the old man in gray robes walked cautiously behind Li Luo, holding a weapon in one hand and saying nothing. Li Luo was strolling leisurely, and occasionally he would look above his head when he had free time.
Submerged in the cracks and gaps of the black stone, it seems that the only way to escape from here is to transform into an insect or ant.
After a cup of tea, we finally arrived at the place to stay. Seeing the scene in front of him, Li Luo was really surprised. It was like a completely different world.
This is a circular grotto, ten feet in diameter and no more than three feet high. There are jagged and strange rocks hanging upside down on the top. There are no traces of knives or axes on the surrounding rock walls. It must be natural. In the middle of the grotto is a pool with a trestle.
Surrounded by the trestle, there is a fire pot every ten feet. The inside of the grotto is much brighter than the corridor when you entered, and you can see the bottom of the pool. The water is clear, not deep, and there are microwaves rippling on the surface. It is a living water.
Water Eye. There is a palm-sized black shadow swimming in the pool. You can't tell what it is. It doesn't look like a fish, but looks a bit like a salamander, but it looks a little weird.
There are seven or eight houses surrounding the pond, half of which are made of wood and are connected to the trestle, and the other half are grottoes embedded in the mountain. There are some peach blossoms and flowing water, and there is a different elegance of heaven and earth.
The old man in gray robe had no expression on his face as he escorted Li Luo to one of the houses that was half stone and half wood. Before entering the house, the old man in gray robe stopped Li Luo and said rudely: "Bring the box on your back.
"
"Why?"
"This is a rule. Anyone entering the deep valley must take off their weapons." The gray-robed old man shouted impatiently.
Li Luo said with a half-smile, "How did you know that the box on my back contained weapons?"
The gray-robed old man's face darkened, and he said in a cold voice: "Whether it's a weapon or not, we must stay."
"It seems like this rule was just established today."
"So what if it is, so what if it's not. If you enter the ghost market, you have to follow the rules of the ghost market."
"The rules of the ghost market are probably that the strong are respected. You feel you are stronger than me, so I have to listen to your orders."
"You know the truth, bring it over!" the old man in gray robe shouted.
Naturally, Li Luo would not hand over the guard. He looked at the old man in gray robe and said calmly: "I am a guest, not a prisoner, at least I am still a guest now. I was not allowed to remove the sword in the ghost palace, and no one will care about the growth on my back when I get here.
What is in the box? So if you are not as good as you, I will follow the rules of the ghost market. The strong is respected. If you can beat me, I will keep the box on my back. If you lose, you will leave your life in Tongyou Valley.
,how?"
The old man in gray robe was furious and shouted: "You don't know whether to live or die!"
"I do not know whether to live or die, but if I kill you today, do you think he will kill me?"
"you!?"
"If you were more skilled and could take my life, would you dare to kill me? Or if you accidentally killed me, would you still be alive?"
The expression of the old man in gray robe changed several times. His face was so gloomy that water could pool in his eyes. His eyes flickered fiercely as he stared at Li Luo. For a long time, the old man in gray robe finally made no move. He covered up the murderous intent on his face and said grimly: "You
Your bones better be as hard as your mouth, let’s go!”
After that, the old man in gray robe turned around and left angrily, leaving Li Luo alone in front of the house. Li Luo watched the old man in gray robe leave Tongyou Valley, his expression gradually turned cold. There was ridicule and murderous intent in the eyes of the old man in gray robe before leaving.
Li Luo could detect it without using Bing Xin Jue, and laughed at Li Luo for not knowing until his death was imminent.
The winding path leads to a secluded place, and the Zen room is surrounded by flowers and trees. The name of the grotto is Tongyou. I wonder if the flowers and trees are still there.
Li Luo looked around at the other rooms. They were all silent, with no lights and no sound. They seemed to be empty, dark and bleak, with an eerie silence.
Li Luo coughed lightly. Regardless of whether there was anyone in these rooms or whether there were ghosts, this cough was considered a greeting.
I opened the door and walked in. The house was not small. The front hall was a living room, and it was fully equipped with wooden tables and chairs. It was considered a luxury item in the ghost market. The back hall was a place for sleeping on couches, with stone beds and tables.
It uses local materials and is decorated with a unique scenery. There are two places in the front and back, with a screen in the middle, allowing for entry and exit. It is somewhat similar to the houses of Dagan people.
There was a lamp on the table, and there was a flint under the lamp. Li Luo turned on the lamp, untied the lamp on his back, and sat quietly on the wooden chair with his eyes closed and meditating.
Just now, Li Luo realized that Hu and Lu had finally plotted against him. He was afraid that they had no intention of letting Li Luo leave the Cliff of Death so easily from the beginning and send the sheep into the tiger's mouth. The ones who sent the sheep were Hu and Lu.
This tiger was probably invited by Hu and Lu, but sheep are not easy to eat, and tigers are not that impatient.
Just when Li Luo closed his eyes and was deep in thought, footsteps came from outside the house. The sound was very soft and he was not walking fast. He seemed to hesitate a little when he got to the door. After waiting for a few seconds, Li Luo heard the knock on the door.
Li Luo frowned slightly. Not many people would come here at this time, and even fewer dared to come here.
The knocking on the door was also very soft. I don't know if it was for fear of disturbing Li Luo or disturbing Tongyou Valley, but the sound became smaller and smaller, and almost stopped.
Although the voice was low, the person who knocked on the door was very stubborn. Li Luo did not open the door, so the people outside the house kept knocking on the door, and did not open the door to come in. The residents inside had to get up and open the door in person.
Li Luo smiled bitterly, he really couldn't be quiet for a moment.
Opening the door, Li Luo recognized the person outside the house. Unexpectedly and reasonably, it was Jibu Chuhe.
The two of them looked at each other across the door, one inside and one outside, both speechless.
After a long time, Li Luo said calmly: "You shouldn't have come."
Jibu Chuhe smiled sadly and replied: "I shouldn't have come, but what can I do?"
"Did he ask you to come?"
"Besides him, who else in the ghost market can let me come?"
"There is one other person besides him."
Jibu Chuhe was startled, a look of shame and annoyance flashed across his face, and he shouted: "Does Young Master Li have to humiliate me like this?"
Li Luo looked at Jibu Chuhe in surprise, shook his head and said, "I have no intention of humiliating you. Miss Lingque is overly worried."
"Humph, you men are all equally insincere in what you say, and you also don't believe in what you say." Jibu Chuhe said with hatred.
Seeing Ji Buchuhe's slightly angry look, Li Luo felt a little relieved, and replied with an expression on his face: "It seems that someone promised something to Miss Lingque, and even made Miss Lingque suffer a loss."
"You..." Jibu Chuhe's chest rose and fell, his face turned red with anger, and he was speechless for a long time.
"Since you're here, come in and sit down." Li Luo opened the door.
Jibu Chuhe was stunned for a moment, looking at the door in front of him and suddenly hesitating, as if there was an invisible wall blocking him.
