Chapter 142 These Patterns...
"Don't panic, everyone. Although this valley is mysterious, as long as we work together, we will be able to get through it safely." Granny Jinfeng's voice was gentle and firm, like a warm current flowing into everyone's hearts.
Zhang Lingyu and Zhuge Qing walked together, talking in low voices. Both were intelligent men, skilled in observation and analysis. Facing this unknown valley, they were trying to find clues from every detail.
At this moment, Manniu followed closely behind Granny Jinfeng. As he walked, he felt the changes in his internal strength. As they went deeper into the valley, Manniu discovered that the way he used his luck seemed to be changing.
"This power... is truly marvelous!" Manniu muttered to himself. He tried to adjust his breathing, changing the rhythm of his energy. Sure enough, as he adjusted, his physique became even stronger, as if an infinite power surged within him.
"This valley is truly magical!" Manniu couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. His voice was as loud as a bell, echoing throughout the valley.
"Yes, if we continue along this corridor, our luck will likely be completely transformed," Wang echoed. His eyes gleamed with admiration, and he thought to himself, "Manniu is truly worthy of being one of the two greatest robbers in the world. His understanding of luck is surprisingly profound."
However, just as everyone was discussing this, suddenly, a strong resistance came from the front. This resistance was invisible and intangible, but it was like an invisible hand blocking their way.
"What's going on?" Everyone stopped and looked puzzled.
"Don't panic, everyone! This is the natural force of the valley." Grandma Jinfeng's voice rang out again. She stopped, sat cross-legged, and closed her eyes to rest. Seeing this, everyone followed her example, sitting cross-legged and regulating their breathing.
Manniu couldn't contain his curiosity and doubts. He looked at Li Qiankun, who smiled confidently and shook his head. "The road ahead is long, why ask so many questions? Just know that the road is ahead. Keep walking and you'll find out."
Upon hearing this, although Manniu still had doubts in his heart, he had to suppress his curiosity and calmly adjust his breathing.
At this moment, Xia Liuqing whispered to himself, "This place is really weird." Although his voice was small, it was loud enough for people around him to hear.
Upon hearing this, Granny Jinfeng opened her eyes and sneered, "Hmph, you just found out? This corridor was renovated by the leader himself. It might be of some benefit to you young people."
Xia Liuqing touched his nose awkwardly and stepped aside. He knew he was still young and didn't dare to say much in front of Granny Jinfeng.
However, at this moment, Baoer suddenly stopped, her brows furrowed, her eyes revealing a hint of vigilance and uneasiness.
"Something's wrong. There's a familiar aura ahead." Sister Bao'er's voice was low and firm. Her intuition told her that something unusual must be waiting for them ahead.
Li Qiankun followed closely behind and was also stunned when he heard the words: "A familiar smell? Baoer, you mean..."
"I don't know, but something's definitely wrong," Baoer said, quickening her pace. Her figure was like a flash of lightning, disappearing at the end of the corridor in an instant.
Granny Jinfeng looked at their backs, a smile playing on her lips. Her eyes were filled with memories and emotion. "Bao'er, after all these years, you're still so sharp." Her voice was low and gentle, as if she was recounting a long-forgotten story.
Meanwhile, in the Chu Ma Xian village outside the Great Wall, an old witch stood at the entrance, gazing at the distant sky. Her brows were furrowed, her face filled with worry and anxiety.
"Grandma, is this really that serious?" Deng Youfu and Deng Youcai asked worriedly, their eyes filled with fear and uneasiness about the unknown.
The old witch sighed and said slowly: "Yes, the enemy this time is very powerful, even I feel a little tricky." Her voice was low and heavy, like a huge rock pressing on everyone's heart.
Deng Youfu and Deng Youcai turned even paler upon hearing this. They knew that their grandmother's words were never alarmist. This time, the enemy was probably truly formidable.
The old witch's eyes were like deep ancient wells. She slowly shook her head and said firmly, "No, we have to solve this matter ourselves. I have decided to gather the forces of Longhu Mountain and see if they can provide some help."
Deng Youcai felt a surge of unease upon hearing this. He knew this enemy was formidable, and even the powerful old Celestial Master might not be able to easily defeat them. However, looking at the old witch's resolute gaze, his doubts seemed to be temporarily suppressed.
"Okay, since you said so, we will do our best." Deng Youcai took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
At this moment, Xia Liuqing and Grandma Jinfeng had already walked out of the long corridor and arrived at a spacious hall. In the center of the hall, a strong aura rushed towards him, causing Xia Liuqing to take a few steps back. His eyes widened, and he exclaimed in amazement, "Is this the place that the leader had transformed? It's unbelievable!"
Granny Jinfeng stood beside Xia Liuqing. She nodded slightly, a hint of awe in her eyes. "Indeed, the aura here has become one with the entire village. For you young people, this is truly a rare place for cultivation."
Granny Jinfeng looked at Xia Liuqing's eager eyes, and a wave of emotion welled up in her heart. She recalled that decades ago, like Xia Liuqing, she had come here to cultivate with great anticipation. However, she had no idea at the time that a world-shattering battle had once taken place here.
"Decades ago, several great immortals fought a great battle here. The battle was extremely brutal. All the great immortals were seriously injured and almost died." Grandma Jinfeng's voice was low and powerful, as if bringing Xia Liuqing into that thrilling era.
Xia Liuqing was stunned. He couldn't imagine that such a brutal battle had ever taken place here. He looked towards the center of the hall and seemed to be able to smell the lingering aura of battle.
However, at this moment, a sudden movement broke the tranquility of the hall. A hole suddenly appeared on the wall of the hall, and a cold breath surged out from it.
Deng Youcai and others rushed over upon hearing the noise. When they saw the direction of the hole, they were all terrified. They knew that the appearance of the hole meant that the enemy was approaching, and they had to act quickly.
The old witch stood in front of everyone. She took a deep breath and tried to calm everyone down. "Don't panic, everyone. The immortals are suppressing this place. There shouldn't be any problems in the short term."
However, Deng Youcai and the others still had doubts. They knew that this enemy was formidable, and even a great immortal might not be able to deal with it easily.
At this moment, the old witch suddenly mentioned a child: "I heard that there is a child who can destroy the enemy with his own blood. Perhaps we can wait for his arrival and don't worry too much."
Deng Youcai looked at everyone. Although they still had doubts in their hearts, they also understood.
Meanwhile, in the valley corridor, Bao'er walked forward with a pale face. Although her steps were heavy, her eyes were unusually firm. Li Qiankun followed her silently, silent all the way, but his eyes were always focused on Bao'er's situation.
After walking for a long time, the two finally walked out of the corridor. Before them was a vast stone forest, with towering stone pillars standing in rows, like a stone forest. They looked at the scene before them, their hearts filled with doubts.
"Where is this?" Li Qiankun looked at the stone pillar forest in front of him with a frown.
In the forest of stone pillars, Li Qiankun, Zhang Chulan, and Grandma Jinfeng all noticed the patterns on the pillars. They were mysterious and complex, as if imbued with some powerful power. They looked at them with confusion.
"What do these patterns mean?" Zhang Chulan looked at the patterns on the stone pillars with a frown.
Granny Jin Feng was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "These patterns... match the records in the sect's secret archives. I've been here with the leader before, but back then there weren't as many stone pillars."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They had never thought that these stone pillars were actually related to the sect's secrets.
Granny Jinfeng continued, "Over the years, the number of these stone pillars has continued to increase. It's as if a mysterious force is controlling them. I don't know where this power comes from, but I am certain that this valley is definitely not simple."
Zhang Chulan's determination to explore further was strengthened after hearing this. He knew that only by finding the child who could destroy the enemy could they possibly overcome this difficulty.
"Mother-in-law, should we go deeper?" Zhang Chulan asked.
