kingly way

Chapter 76 Chapter 076

Ying Luo followed Xiao Zhongming back into the valley;
Mandrills, tigers, and giant pythons followed them;
"Uncle, why is this place called Ghost Valley?"

Ying Luo was curious;

"Oh, this used to be the base of the Lingmen Gate. It was called Ghost Valley when the Lingmen Gate lived here."

Xiao Zhongming said while walking;
"Then why do you live here?"

Ying Luo asked curiously again;
"Although this is a wasteland now, there are many traps, and there are poisonous insects and beasts inside. No one disturbs people who live here, just like mandrills, white tigers, and giant pythons are all animals left behind by the Lingmen Gate. Uncle was killed after entering Ghost Valley. Uncle tamed."

Xiao Zhongming smiled and said;
"Why did you kill the people who entered the valley?"

Ying Luo remembered what Xiao Er said in the tavern and asked again;

"kill?"

Xiao Zhongming turned his head and looked at Ying Luo suspiciously;
"Well, I heard from the waiter in the shop that there were several groups of chivalrous men who came in to explore the ghost valley, but in the end they all entered without returning. So far, only one has survived, but he is already crazy."

Ying Luo said.

"Hahaha... The rumors outside are not to be believed. When the Lingmen Gate existed, the Lingmen must have entered the Ghost Valley in order to protect the secrets of the base."

"But I heard that someone was killed recently." Ying Luo said;
"Most of the chivalrous men who came in in the last few batches were killed by agencies, and a small number of them should have been killed by mandrills. Mandrills, white tigers and giant pythons will kill strangers when they see strangers coming in." Xiao Zhongming said;

"Oh, so that's the case? According to the legend, there is a ghost in Guigu, it should be a mandrill?"

"It's hard to say, because all the people who came in have died, everyone has a sense of fear of Ghost Valley, and the mandrill will occasionally go outside the valley, with its divine shape and speed of disappearing, don't you think it's a ghost? The people outside must have been frightened by the mandrill, and the mandrill is a wild animal. It will attack strangers when they see it entering the valley. If I am not around, no one can control it, so everyone relies on guesswork to spread the word. .”

After hearing Ying Luo's words, Xiao Zhongming couldn't help laughing and said;
"How did that crazy person not die?" Ying Luo couldn't help but asked curiously;

"Oh, this is what I'm going to tell you next. Some young people in the local area and nearby are more curious, and they occasionally organize some curious knights to explore. Naturally, they are all attracted The agency killed it." Xiao Zhongming said.

"Curiosity killed the cat! That crazy person was one of them, right? How could he not die?"

Ying Luo became curious again,

"Well, he is one of them. There are more people in this group and they have more organizational experience. When they first came in, the people in front were killed by the agency, and the people behind didn't dare to come in." Xiao Zhongming said;
"Then how could the people behind die?"

There are still mysteries in Ying Luo's heart that have not been solved;

"That's where we have to ask the mandrill."

Xiao Zhongming looked at the mandrill;

"Did the mandrill kill it?" Ying Luo asked;

"Well, the mandrill, also known as the mountain ghost, is powerful and vicious, and has been trained in martial arts. There are not many first- and second-rate masters in the world who can match it. With those knights, they are no match for it. When I found out When the mandrill was killing people, it was just about to kill the lunatic, but I stopped it. However, since the mandrill is called a mountain ghost, its appearance must be scary. He, who has never seen a mandrill before, saw the appearance and killing methods of a mandrill, and thought that he had encountered a mandrill. When he got to the ghost, he was frightened crazy, so although he saved his life, he has already become crazy." Xiao Zhongming said;

Many mysteries in Ying Luo's heart could not help being solved;
"Then why won't he be killed by the agency when he enters the valley at night?"

Ying Luo felt that there was still a mystery in his heart;
"Who said he entered the valley?" Xiao Zhongming asked;
"That's what people outside said." Ying Luo replied;

"It's a rumor spread by outsiders who don't know about it. Although he is a lunatic, a lunatic also has curiosity. Curiosity sometimes makes him forget the danger, so he ran to Ghost Valley. But the lunatic is timid and afraid of being scared. He still retains the memory of being frightened before. When he went to the big rock in Ghost Valley, he didn't dare to come in there. If he entered the valley, he would definitely not be able to live to the present. People didn't see it, didn't understand the situation, only knew that he was walking in the direction of Ghost Valley, and really thought he had entered Ghost Valley. Haha..."

As Xiao Zhongming talked, he couldn't help laughing out loud...

"Uncle."

Ying Luo called Xiao Zhongming; he hesitated to speak;

"Well, it's okay, if you have anything to say, just say it, you are my nephew, don't be restrained."

Xiao Zhongming saw what Ying Luo was thinking;
"There are so many organs here, how can you come and go freely?"

Ying Luo looked at Xiao Zhongming;

"When I came here, most of the institutions here were destroyed during the encirclement of the Lingjiao Gate; I was also injured by the remaining institutions. If I hadn't been strong in martial arts, I would have died a long time ago. Later, I found the Lingmen in the secret room. According to the map of the mechanism left by the gate, repair the mechanism according to the map to protect yourself, and there is a warning at the entrance of the valley that "the person who enters the valley will die", and ordinary people will not enter the valley." Xiao Zhongming said;

"Why aren't the animals here killed by the authorities?"

Although Ying Luo knew that traps would not be deployed in the entire forest, he still couldn't help asking;
"Traps are mainly placed in the main roads and indoors. It is impossible to cover the whole valley with traps. Animals are often killed by accidental injuries in the main roads. People like mandrills, giant pythons, and white tigers are all well-known. They must have become smarter after suffering." Xiao Zhongming smiled and said;

After a while, they came to a big tree,
The leaves of the big tree are extremely lush, the color is green and green, the crown of the tree is soaring into the sky, its bark is cracked and covered with wrinkles, the old roots hang from the tree vertically and horizontally to the ground, and the trunk is covered with moss...

"Up above is our home."

Xiao Zhongming pointed to the top of the big tree;

Ying Luo looked in the direction of Xiao Zhongming's finger,
There is a wooden house on top of the tree,
"Is this the ruined site of the Lingjiao Gate?"

Ying Luo looked at the wooden house built on a tree more than ten meters high and asked, he didn't expect that the base of Lingjimen was on a towering tree;

"No, this is the place I chose to live in. I can see the ruins of the Lingjiao Gate when I go up the tree. The old site of the Lingjiao Gate is a building, most of which are caves." Xiao Zhongming said with a smile;
"Oh, so that's the case, why didn't Uncle Xiao choose to live in the ruined site of Lingji Gate?" Ying Luo asked;
"Hehe, if there is an enemy coming to sneak attack, where would they normally sneak attack?"

Xiao Zhongming smiled and asked Ying Luo;

"It is a building dwelling on the ground."

Ying Luo replied;

"Well, if the enemy sneak attack, they are on the ground, and we are in the trees, before the enemy finds us, we will find them, and we can be ready."

Xiao Zhongming looked at Ying Luo and said with a smile;
"Uncle is very considerate and careful in doing things."

Ying Luo couldn't help but be impressed by Xiao Zhongming's thorough consideration, he nodded and smiled and said;
"It's definitely a good thing to be cautious. If you are prepared, you will be safe! Haha..." Xiao Zhongming said with a big laugh;
There is a large building on the ground with many traps, but living in a tree more than ten meters high, ordinary people would not have imagined that Ying Luo has to admire Xiao Zhongming's thoughtfulness...
