Chapter 6 Stealth

The peaks of southern Xinjiang are completely different from the mountains in the Central Plains. They are a little less beautiful and quiet, and a little more towering and steep.

Under the night, the rolling mountains stand crisscrossed. Looking from afar, it shows the meaning of killing.

Gui Li stood with his hands behind his back and looked up. After two lower mountains and a relatively flat wilderness, four high peaks suddenly stood on the earth, interlocking into a valley. Behind these four tall peaks, under the vast night, there are countless shadows, which are the endless 100,000 mountains on the southern border.

And among the four peaks in the front is the famous incense valley.

This night was deep, the moon was high, and there were a few faint stars in the sky. Under the cold brilliance, there seemed to be a faint fog in the valley in the distance, floating faintly, looking like a light veil mist, with a little mystery in the beauty.

Gui Li frowned and withdrew his eyes.

It's already the third day. Since the night three days ago, he and the golden bottle of the magic cult suddenly found that the incense valley seemed to be secretly collusion with the southern barbarians in the 100,000 mountains in southern Xinjiang, so they decided to secretly explore the incense valley. The three words "burning incense valley" are here on the southern border, which is naturally like thunder, and the two of them can easily know where the incense valley is. But when I really wanted to enter secretly, I found that things were quite troublesome.

The Burning Valley covers an extremely wide area, and it should not be difficult to sneak in. It is true that the two easily avoided the ordinary disciples of the Incense Valley who were on the periphery day and night by virtue of their own Taoism, but how do they know that every time they arrived at the relatively deep place of the Incense Valley, no matter how they hid their bodies, there must be a sudden sound of inexplicable crisp bell nearby, Search carefully, among the extraordinary masters.

Ghost Li and Jin Ping'er are both alert people. They saw the opportunity early several times and retreated in time, but no matter how careful they are, they still can't avoid the inexplicable bell. After a few days, they still can't go deep, but there seems to be vigilance in the incense valley, and more people have been

Gui Li thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out how the incense valley knew their whereabouts. It seems that the incense valley, one of the three great schools in the world, is indeed a crouching tiger and a hidden dragon.

Just then, Xiaohui, who had been lying quietly on his shoulder, suddenly moved, and a low whisper came from behind him:

"Ah!"

Gui Li turned around and saw a fire on a small open space in the forest. The golden bottle sat in front, holding a wooden stick in his hand, and a washed hare was having a barbecue on the stick. At this moment, she frowned and looked at the wooden stick in her hand, looking quite depressed.

Gui Li walked over.

In the past three days, he and Jin Ping'er have tried to sneak into the incense valley several times, but they all failed. Usually, the relationship between the two is also quite delicate. On the surface, they are at peace with each other, but secretly, they are on their own precautions. They all know that the other party is a deep-hearted and ruthless person .

Walking close to the bonfire, the little ash on her shoulder squeaked, but jumped to the ground. Gui Li looked at the golden bottle and couldn't help but be stunned. She looked helplessly at the hare stringed on the wooden stick in her hand. One of the rabbit's legs was actually burnt.

The two of them have been around the outside of the incense valley for a few days. In these mountains and fields, there are naturally no village inns around them. After a few days of dry food, there was nothing wrong with the ghost, but the golden bottle was a little unbearable. I happened to see a hare running by this night. I caught it and gave birth to a fire to change my taste. Anyway, they are far away from the incense valley, and they are not afraid of being found.

It's just that now it seems that although the golden bottle is high, there is no such wild barbecue experience in the past. After several times, the technique is not well mastered, and the food is roasted black. This time, he saw the ghost standing in front of him, and the little gray half squatted on the ground. One person, one monkey and four eyes fell on the burnt rabbit leg. Jin Ping'er's face turned red, and she slowly shrank the wooden stick back and left the fire.

"Squeak, squeak..." Suddenly, there was a strange sound, but the monkey Xiaohui grinned and lay on the ground. His tail was very high, shaking around, clenched his fist with his right hand, and kept beating the ground. It seemed that he couldn't stand it, and he actually made a strange move.

Jin Ping'er and Gui Li were stunned at the same time. A moment later, both of them came back. Jin Ping'er was stunned, and there was a trace of anger on his face. Gui Li did not know that the monkey was following him. It was rare to leave once, but where did he learn this set of inexplicable jokes. At that moment, he glanced at Jin Ping'er, coughed, kicked his left foot gently, and kicked out the gray-haired monkey who beat himself on the ground.

The little ash rolled away like a gourd, but the "squeak" sound actually came from afar.

Gui Li and Jin Ping'er looked at each other. The atmosphere in the field couldn't help but be a little embarrassed. Gui Li looked at the wooden stick in Jin Ping'er's hand, and then moved a stone from the side, sat on it, and said to Jin Ping'er, "Give it to me."

Jin Ping'er was stunned when he heard the words. He only saw that the ghost's face was pale. He reached out and took the wooden stick in his hand. First, he tore off the charred part, then put it back on the fire, and slowly flipped the barbecue. His barbecue was naturally very different from the golden bottle. The tongue of fire swallowed, and the wooden stick was gently turned over. After a while, a faint fragrance gradually drifted away.

Jin Ping'er looked up at Gui Li. Under the firelight, his usual pale face also turned rosy at this moment. In his dark black eyes, there were still two small burning flames.

A man who is concentrating on barbecue for himself...

In the air, there was a sudden silence, and no one spoke anymore. Jin Ping'er slowly withdrew her eyes, picked up a few dead branches from her hand and put them into the fire. The flame gradually burned up, drowning the dead branches, and from time to time there was a crackling sound of dead branches.

In the distance, there seemed to be a night wind blowing by, and the soft rustling sound of branches and leaves fell on my heart.

I don't know when Xiaohui ran back again, and there were a few more wild fruits in his hand. It seems that he just ran into the woods to pick them. It walked to the fire, looked around, sat down to the ghost's feet, sent the wild fruit to its mouth, opened its mouth to chew, shook its long tail, and finally gently wrapped around the ghost's feet.

After such a long time in silence, the fragrance in the air became stronger and stronger. The hare on the firelight gradually came out of fat all over his body. Slowly dripped down and saw that the oily light was shining. At a glance, it made people's index finger move, and the golden bottle couldn't help looking at it a few more

After a while, Gui Li looked at the rabbit carefully and took the wooden stick back. He held it in one hand, but reached his waist with the other. After a moment, he took out a few small bottles of small cans and sprinkled some seemingly powder on the rabbit from the middle.

Jin Ping'er was stunned and said, "What is this?"

Gui Li smiled, and Jin Ping'er looked into his eyes. Somehow he felt that he had a little bitterness. He only heard Gui Li said lightly, "It's some salt seasoning. It's an old problem. I take it with me wherever I go." After saying that, he handed the wooden stick in his hand to the golden bottle.

Jin Ping'er hesitated for a moment, but didn't reach out to pick it up.

Gui Li's eyes flashed, smiled indifferently, reached out tore off a piece of rabbit meat, put it in his mouth and ate it.

Jin Ping'er's face turned red. In the firelight, a charming color flashed between her eyebrows, which was touching. After a moment, she stretched out her hand to take over the wooden stick and whispered, "Thank you, Mr."

Gui Li said no, turned his head, took a wild fruit from Xiao Hui's hand, put it to his mouth, slowly took a bite, and ate it.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, there was another soft cry from Jin Ping'er, which seemed to have a little pain. Gui Li and Monkey Xiaohui looked up at her at the same time, but they saw Jin Ping'er's white hand covering her mouth, frowning slightly, with a faint look of pain. It's just that she suddenly found that Gui Li and Xiao Hui looked over, and their faces turned red. For a long time, she said, "I was accidentally burned..." After that, her voice gradually became lower.

Gui Li listened and moved the corners of his mouth, but the expression on his face did not change, but the little ash at his feet suddenly made a sound. In the "squeak", he grinned and laughed. The wild fruit that had gnawed half of his right hand also fell to the ground, and then clenched his fist and pounded

Jin Ping'er's eyes condensed, and she was ashamed and angry, but before she could react, nor did she wait for the monkey Xiaohui's hand to hit the ground. Gui Li had already kicked Xiaohui out like a rolling gourd.

After a while, I only heard the ghost say lightly, "The beast is ignorant. Don't be surprised."

Jin Ping'er looked at him, calmed down, nodded and smiled, and then gently blew on the barbecued rabbit at hand, and then tore a small piece of meat from the top with his white onion-like fingers and chewed it by his mouth.

In this entrance, the golden bottle was immediately refreshed. In an instant, she only felt that the fragrance seemed to be spiritual. It rushed all over her body, and her body seemed to be a little lighter and full of saliva. The taste was unprecedented. The skin is crispy but not burnt, thin and crispy; the meat inside is smooth and tender, and the seasoning that I don't know how to mix, the delicious taste is like a refreshing heart and spleen. I can't stop this taste. I almost lost my mind. I never thought that this delicious food was made by the man in front of me.

Rao Jin Ping'er was quite deep and determined, but at this moment he also had a big appetite and tore off one piece after another, but after a while, he had eaten a rabbit leg and went down. Then he felt a little full and stopped. Then he smiled, looked at Gui Li, and said, "Son, you are so good at cooking. An ordinary rabbit can be so deliciously barbecued by you!"

At this time, the monkey Xiaohui had run back and lay beside Gui Li. A pair of extremely flexible monkey eyes turned around, looked at Gui Li for a while, and then looked at the golden bottle.

Ghost said lightly, "The little skill of carving insects makes the girl laugh."

Jin Ping'er smiled, her eyebrows were charming, and her eyes were as full of water. She said softly, "I've never eaten such a delicious rabbit in my life!"

Gui Li smiled indifferently and was about to say something, but his body suddenly shook, and his eyes were confused.

This sentence, the voice, the smile, suddenly tossed in my mind. The night was quiet, and the night wind was cold, but his heart suddenly ached, rolling up like a wave of anger.

Once upon a time, I had heard these words.

That was the time that was sealed many years ago, but it inadvertently surged into my heart.

Qingqing stream, wave light phosphorus, smiling, gentle wind...

Kongsang Mountain, behind the cliff, the two people who have just left the dead ground are surrounded by the fire and are also having a barbecue.

The smiling figure in green clothes suddenly drowned him and occupied all the gaps in his heart. He shook uncontrollablely.

Baguio...

"It's delicious. The best thing I've ever eaten in my life is the rabbit you roast now."

The sentence of that year echoed in my mind, slowly turned into a thorn, turned into a needle, and stabbed into the heart.

......

"Son, prince?" A slightly surprised voice sounded in his ear, pulling the ghost back to reality.

I don't know when Jin Ping'er stood up, holding the wooden stick in his left hand, but somehow his right hand shrank into his sleeve.

Gui Li's eyes condensed, took a deep breath, calmed down, and immediately said, "I'm fine."

Jin Ping'er looked at him deeply, and his eyes changed. He whispered, "Son, why are you so pale? What's the matter?"

Gui Li looked straight into her eyes, suddenly smiled and said, "What can I do?"

Jin Ping'er looked at him, and the faint light in his eyes slowly took it back. The charming color between his eyebrows came out again. He smiled and said, "It's okay, you'll be fine."

Gui Li's heart suddenly became bored, but he didn't show it on his face. He was about to say something, but Xiaohui, who had been quiet beside him, suddenly moved and looked back.

Gui Li and Jin Ping'er felt something at the same time. They stood up and looked south. They saw the southern sky, the quiet incense valley surrounded by mountains, suddenly a fierce roar from afar, and a red light rose to the sky, illuminating the sky before slowly falling.

Gui Li and Jin Ping'er's eyes lit up at the same time.

※※※

In the incense valley, the lights that had been extinguished in the middle of the night lit up one by one.

The voices of people far or near, mixed with a few low angry curses that disturbed sleep, gradually sounded. But in this growing noise, the angry shouting was mixed with the strange roar of a beast, coming in from the entrance of the incense valley.

After a moment, the sound of fighting had come, and at the same time, the crisp bell and the alarm echoed over the valley at the same time. In the middle of the night, a foreign enemy forcibly invaded the Burning Valley.

Arrived silently, the ghosts and golden bottles hidden on another mountain, looked at the light at the entrance of the incense valley, and the figures who rushed from the incense valley to the entrance from time to time, and were secretly surprised.

Who dares to so blatantly offend the incense valley, which is known as one of the leaders of the world? Even with the new generation of outstanding masters of these two magic religion, facing the masters of hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the incense valley, they only consider whether they can sneak in secretly.

At the moment when they had just arrived here, Jin Ping'er couldn't help asking softly, "Is it you the Ghost King?"

Gui Li naturally denied it, but he thought about it himself, but he really couldn't imagine what other forces in the world were so arrogant and bold except for the demon religion?

Seeing the noise of the people in the incense valley in the night, after this time, there were still people constantly going to the entrance of the valley. Looking at this situation, instead of calming down, there was a tendency to deteriorate.

Gui Li and Jin Ping'er both frowned slightly, but now this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Gui Li then whispered to Jin Ping'er beside him, "Let's go in."

Jin Ping'er nodded, but she looked at Gui Li and said, "I'm very interested in the things at the entrance of the valley. Why don't we go and have a look first?"

Gui Li pondered for a moment and shook his head and said, "Go ahead. I'll go into the depths of the incense valley to have a look."

The golden bottle seemed to be stunned in the dark, and then said, "Well, then be careful."

Gui Li was slightly surprised that the word "be careful" suddenly appeared from Jin Ping'er's mouth, which seemed to be a little strange, but Jin Ping'er met his eyes with a smile. Suddenly, his body suddenly turned into a faint stream of light, quietly sliding down the ridge, and disappeared into the darkness after a moment.

Gui Li frowned, and a trace of light flashed in his eyes.

※※※

Although the history of the establishment of Fenxiang Valley is not as good as that of Qingyunmen and Magic Sect, it has been operating this place for more than 800 years. Gui Li sneaked into the shadow of the night, and what came to him was a staggered palace and pavilion. Looking at the architectural style, it is quite similar to the Central Plains, but in subtle places, such as the lintel corners of the window, you can see some beast carvings from time to time, which are nothing in the Central Plains. Obviously, in the past 800 years, the incense valley has also been affected by the rough local customs on the southern border.

At the entrance of the valley, it is still noisy, and the alarm bell, which is the most troublesome thing for ghosts and golden bottles, is also ringing at the same time. The place he is currently careful to hide is in the shadow behind a big stone at the foot of the mountain. The last time I sneaked in secretly, that is, a few steps forward here, suddenly the inexplicable crisp bell rang.

At this moment, I only listen to the bell ringing in the distance. Three feet in front of the big stone is an open space, and then there is an ordinary house, which seems to be the residence of the disciples of the Burning Valley.

Gui Li took a deep breath, stood up straight in the shadows, and looked around. It was quiet around here, and compared with the noise in the distance, it was even more silent. As for the disciples of the Burning Valley in that room, it seems that they have been summoned to the entrance of the valley.

Under this somewhat inexplicable and strange tranquility, Gui Li slowly walked forward.

One step, two steps...

He walked very slowly and walked five steps all the way around as usual.

But the look on the ghost's face was even more solemn, because the last time he was here, he was found by the strange bell when he stepped out of the sixth step.

The light in his eyes gradually lit up and slowly swept around, but there was still no change around.

After a while, he slowly took the sixth step.

"Dingying..."

Almost as he stepped on the ground, the crisp bell suddenly rang in front of him and spread far away in silence.

Gui Li's body stiffened, and his heart was full of shock and anger. The ghost door in the incense valley was so powerful, but he couldn't find it. It was really weird.

But the situation tonight is naturally different from the previous days. Although the ghost touched some invisible mechanism and sounded the alarm bell, the noise and fighting in the distance were even more powerful, but the bell was drowned in a moment.

Gui Li made an immediate decision, swept around, and then flew up and swept to the back of the house in front of him against the ground, but the bell around him was still ringing, which was really a headache.

At this moment, the monkey Xiaohui, who had been lying quietly on Gui Li's shoulder, suddenly shouted in a low voice. Gui Li was stunned and turned his head to look at Xiao Hui on his shoulder.

Reflecting a little faint moonlight in the night, in front of the ghost in the shadow, a slight "ka click" sound suddenly came from Xiaohui's body, and then the gray mark on its forehead seemed to be darkened.

Before Gui Li could react, Xiao Hui, who seemed to be something wrong, suddenly turned his head. A pair of monkey eyes gradually lit up with a strange golden light, but behind the gold, there was a faint trace of strange red.

"Squeak, squeak."

The little gray monkey's hand suddenly pointed to the foundation of a remote corner of the room.

Gui Li hugged Xiaohui, looked at it carefully, and whispered, "What's the matter, Xiaohui?"

"Squeak, squeak!"

Xiaohui shouted gently in his mouth, his hand still pointed in that direction, and at the same time, the golden brilliance in his eyes slowly faded.

Gui Li frowned, then nodded, put it on his shoulder, and his body suddenly floated over.

The dark corner of the foundation faintly smelled of moss. Under the careful search, it was soon found that a small hole about the size of a foot was hidden at the foundation.

With a flash of light in his eyes, he stretched out his hand and suddenly penetrated into the hole like lightning. After a moment, there was a whisper in the hole, and then he immediately fell silent. Almost at the same time, the ringing bells around him suddenly stopped.

Gui Li showed a smile on the corners of his mouth and slowly pulled out his hand. After a moment, in the grasp of his hand, there was a strange beast that struggled twice and stopped moving.

The monster is covered with gray skin and is about three feet long, but its body is in a strange "bow" shape. Its back is towering, its head and tail are drooping, and a pair of small black bean-like eyes are inlaid on its head. But the strangest place is that the beast still has a strangely long nose, which is about half a foot long, about one-third long, and two thick nose holes at the front of the nose, which seems to be similar to the pigs raised in the farmer's home.

Gui Li was stunned for a moment, then snorted and whispered, "No wonder I can't avoid it. It turns out that there is such a 'grey dolphin' (Note 1)."

※※※

Note 1: "Gods and Demons · Spirit Beasts" Grey dolphin: long nose and big ears, no neck and long tail, ant-eating grass roots, day and night, or soar.

Also note: Modern Animal · Aardine: Mammal, also known as African Anteater, is strong, about 140 cm long, has no incisors and canine teeth, and eats termites with a long tongue like an anteater. It lives in southern and central Africa, and haunts hilly or semi-grassland areas. It has a high ability to dig earth. It rests in the cave during the day and comes out for food at night. He is very timid and extremely sensitive to hearing. He relies on the sense of smell for food, and his sense of smell is more than ten times that of a dog.
