Chapter 29 The Twenty-eighth Legend of Death Valley

What's so scary about black stones?As long as no one forces you to swallow it, and no one breaks your head with it, there is nothing to be afraid of, whether it is a white, red, blue, yellow, or black stone.The strange thing is that Da Wan seems to think it is scary, and Xie Yubao also seems to think it is scary. Xie Yubao suddenly asked: "The stones you saw, are they very, very black, round, black, so black that they shine?" "yes." "Where did you see it?" "In the hands of those men in black," Ma Rulong said, "each of them is holding a large basket of black stones."

"and then?" "Then they put these black stones on the ground one by one." Xie Yubao didn't ask any more questions, and he didn't speak anymore, his eyes seemed to show the same expression as Da Wan's, an expression of extreme fear, like a child suddenly discovering that those monsters that only appear in nightmares have come before his eyes .Why should they be afraid of these black stones? Tie Zhentian's curiosity was also aroused, and he couldn't help asking: "Is there such a black stone nearby?" "No," Ma Rulong said, "Even if there are a few, there are not so many."

Wang Wanwu added for him: "When I came here, I have surveyed the surrounding area for hundreds of miles. There are all kinds of stones here; round and black, so black that it shines, I can't even get a single stone." Haven't seen any." "So those stones must have come from hundreds of miles away." "definitely is." Tie Zhentian was even more surprised: "Why would someone transport stones hundreds of miles away to pave the ground?" He didn't expect anyone to answer this question, but Da Wan said it. "Because he's a madman," she said.

Da Wan herself said: "The real lunatics are not scary, what is scary are those who look more normal than anyone else on the outside, but are actually crazy in their hearts." She also explained: "Usually you see that he is always well-behaved and polite, but as long as he goes crazy, he can do anything, even a madman can't do it." He can do it." The most frightening thing is that no one knows that he will go crazy, let alone when he will go crazy, so he will not be wary of him. Often when you have already determined that he is a modest gentleman, he will suddenly cut off your nose and take it. to feed the dog.After your nose is gone, you don't even believe he did it.

Da Wan said: "The lunatic I'm talking about is just such a person." Tie Zhentian said: "Have you seen him?" Da Wan said: "I didn't, I thought I would never see him!" She sighed and said again: "It's a pity that I will see you soon!" Xie Yubao suddenly held her hand tightly. "Is he really coming?" "He will definitely come." Da Wan said, "It was Cui Hanyan who attracted him." "You knew he would come when you saw those black stones?" Ma Rulong asked. "That's right," Da Wan said, "In the whole world, only the place where he lives produces this kind of black stone."

"Where does he live?" "Death Valley," Da Wan said, "there is only this kind of black stone in Death Valley." She continued slowly: "There are few people there, and it is difficult for birds to pass. It is difficult for anyone to survive in that kind of place. Unexpectedly, he survived, and he seems to be living well." "Why would he live in that place?" Da Wan said: "He didn't want to go, he was forced to go." "Forced by who?" "There is only one person in the world who can defeat him," Da Wan said, "so there is only one person who can force him to do what he doesn't want to do."

She suddenly asked again: "Do you know that thirty years ago, there was a man named 'Wu Thirteen' in Jianghu?" "Wu Shisan?" Da Wan said: "It is not the Wu of King Zheng of Zhou Wu, but the nothingness of nothingness." "Why did he call Wu Thirteen?" "Because he himself said that he is a person without name, surname, father, mother, brother, brother, sister, sister, son, daughter, wife, and friends." "There are only twelve wu." Ma Rulong asked, "What is the other wu?" "Invincible." "Invincible?" Ma Rulong didn't believe it: "Really invincible?"

"Thirty years ago, when he was only twenty-three years old, he had swept the rivers and lakes and was invincible in the world." Ma Rulong still couldn't believe it, "Thirty years ago is not a long time ago, why no one knows until now." Tie Zhentian interrupted suddenly, "If someone knows, I know," he said in detail and with certainty, "That year was Gengzi, I was only nineteen years old, and I only heard about him on the day of Chongyang in September. of the name." "You are old but you can remember so clearly." "Because that day happened to be my birthday," Tie Zhentian said, "and also because he happened to defeat Lian Shanyun on that day."

Lian Shanyun was the top master at that time, famous for his "seventy-nine swords of seven seven and forty-nine swords that cover the sun across the clouds", and his sword power was by no means inferior to Gu Daoren of Bashan who founded "Seven Seven Forty-Nine Swords of Huifeng Wuliu". Tie Zhentian said: "His seven seven forty-nine swords were defeated without even using a single move. A young man who had just entered the rivers and lakes took his sword empty-handed." Ma Rulong asked: "This young man is Wu Shisan?" "At that time, I also knew that there was a famous swordsman in the world, Yan Shisan, but in the next three months, I only heard Wu Shisan." He said emphatically: "For three whole months, Ninety days."

Ma Rulong couldn't help asking: "How do you remember that it was exactly ninety days?" "Because during the ninety days from Chongyang to the beginning of the eighth day of the eighth lunar month, he had already defeated the forty-three most prestigious masters in the Jianghu at that time," Tie Zhentian said: "The last one is the head of the Iron Sword Sect. When the disciples were drinking Laba porridge, he threw it into the porridge pot." "and then?" "And then it's gone." "No more?" Ma Rulong asked, "What does it mean no more?"

"It means that there is no more 'Wu Shisan' since that day," Tie Zhentian said, "From then on, no one in Jianghu has heard of this person." "No one knows his whereabouts?" "No." "Yes," it was Da Wan who interjected this time: "If someone knows, I know." She knows things no one else knows.After that day, Wu Shisan somehow found the "Jasper Mountain Villa". On New Year's Eve that year, he fought against Mrs. Biyu on the emerald slope outside the villa. Of course, Wu Shisan was defeated. No one can defeat Mrs. Biyu, never.Strangely, Madam Biyu didn't put him to death, but trapped him in the valley of death, asking him to swear that he would never leave the valley again.Death Valley, where no grass grows and birds cannot cross, is like the desolate Xingxiu Sea in the extreme north, where no one has ever survived. So Wu Thirteen has been "disappeared" since then, and was soon forgotten by the world. Da Wan said: "But we have not forgotten him, because Madam often said that if there is only one person in the world who can survive in Death Valley, this person is definitely him. As long as he is alive, when he feels sure of revenge, he will definitely violate Own oath, escaped from Death Valley." Ma Rulong said: "He was the only one in Death Valley?" Da Wan said: "He is the only one." Ma Rulong said: "But now he has at least eighty-four subordinates." Da Wan sighed, and said: "I'm afraid even Madam can't figure out how he can survive in Death Valley, let alone how those people came here, but Madam also said that he can do things that others can't even think of." can do it." It was very quiet outside, but at this moment there was a burst of clear laughter, and a person said in a very elegant and happy voice: "Thank you for your concern, Missy and Young Miss. Actually, I couldn't do these things. It’s just that I’m very lucky.” The speaker was still some distance away from the room, but everyone in the room could hear him clearly.He could also hear every word these people in the room said clearly. Da Wan blurted out, "Are you Wu Shisan?" Her voice didn't rise, and the people outside listened anyway. "I am," he replied. Da Wan deliberately sighed again: "Your ears are really sharp, they seem to be smarter than rabbits." She was obviously trying to irritate him on purpose, and wanted him to break in alone, but the person outside smiled more happily, "I practiced this, I lived alone in that death valley For a year or two, I couldn't hear any sounds, and I was so bored that I was going crazy, and I could only try to hear the sounds that others couldn't hear." "what sound?" "The sound of poisonous snakes mating underground, the sound of worms crawling underground, the sound of snakes swallowing worms, the sound of worms eating maggots, the sound of turtles laying eggs," Wu Shisan asked with a smile: "Have you heard these sounds?" No, no one heard it. Wu Shisan said: "But I can hear everything, and I can hear it very clearly." If a person can hear these sounds clearly, what other sounds can he not hear? Wu Shisan continued: "Fortunately, now I don't have to listen to these voices anymore!" "Oh?" "Because after five years, I have already found many people to talk to me," Wu Shisan said, "In that deserted Valley of Death, there are now 824 people talking to me. What do I want them to say?" , They just say what I want to say, and they listen to whatever.” Da Wan said: "How did you find so many people to talk with you?" "Because I'm very lucky," Wu Shisan said with a smile, "There are other things besides the black stone in the Death Valley." "what?" "Gold," Wu Shisan smiled happily, and said, "I guarantee that you have never seen so much gold in your life!" With so much gold, there is nothing impossible. Wu Shisan said again: "So my days are getting more and more enjoyable, and my martial arts seem to have improved a little, so I can't help but want to go out for a walk. The most important thing is of course I want to see Mrs. Xie and her eldest lady. If it wasn't because of her, how could I be here today?" Da Wan couldn't help asking again: "How do you know Mrs. Xie is here?" "Of course I know," Wu Shisan said with a smile: "After a person has so much gold, there are very few things he doesn't know." "Why don't you come in and see her?" "I'm not in a hurry," Wu Shisan said, "I've been waiting for more than twenty years, so why not wait a few more days?" "What are you waiting for?" "I have already sent people to buy silk and satin, and invited the best tailors to tailor the clothes for Miss Xie. I also specially brought some rouge pollen from Baoshizhai in the capital," Wu Shisan said with a big smile : "After Miss Xie has changed into new clothes and dressed up, I will naturally come to see you." He smiled and said: "I am not in a hurry now, because I have never liked dirty women." His laughter still sounded pleasant, and he didn't utter a single obscene or disrespectful word. Da Wan's heart sank, she could already hear the terrible meaning in his words. ——He likes women who dress up beautifully, and when Xie Yubao dresses up beautifully, he is ready to "like" her. Of course Tie Zhentian understood what method he was going to use, and suddenly asked: "Is he a human being?" "seems like it?" "That would be great." Tie Zhentian said: "Since he is also a human being, and I am also a human being, why can't I go out and see him?" Fifty-three outside immediately said: "Please come out, please come out quickly, I have already set up a feast here, waiting for everyone to come." Tie Zhentian laughed loudly: "I just want to eat comfortably." He suddenly asked Wang Wanwu: "Do you want to?"
