Ghost Li smiled faintly, was about to say something but his body suddenly shook, a perplexed look in his eyes.
This sentence, this voice, this smile, suddenly surged in his mind. The night was dim, the night wind cold, his heart suddenly felt pain, like a raging sea wave rolling.
Once upon a time, he had actually heard these words before.
Those were the dust-laden memories from many years ago, but inadvertently, gushed up in his mind.
A clear brook, the glimmering light, the smile, the gentle sound of the wind … …
Kongsang Mountain, behind the cliff, the two who had just escaped death, surrounded the fire, also barbecuing.
That smiling, water-green attired figure, suddenly drowned him, occupied all the space in his heart, he could not help but tremble.
BiYao … …
"Very delicious, the most delicious thing I have ever eaten in my life, is this rabbit that you are barbecuing now."
That sentence, faintly reverberated in his mind, slowly became a thorn, became a needle, piercing into his heart.
… …
"Gongzi, gongzi?" A slightly surprised voice, rang beside his ear, pulled Ghost Li back to reality.
Jin PingEr had stood up, her left hand still holding that wooden stick but her right hand, for some reason, had shrunk into her sleeve.
Ghost Li's gaze froze, took a deep breath, calmed his mind and immediately said, "I am fine."
Jin PingEr looked deeply at him, the expression in her eyes fluctuated, softly said, "Gongzi, why is your face so pale, what's the matter?"
Ghost Li looked straight at her eyes, suddenly smiled and said, "What can happen to me?"
Jin PingEr looked at him, the indistinct glint in her eyes slowly receded, her charming countenance surfaced again, smiled and said, "It's good that gongzi is fine."
Ghost Li suddenly felt a wave of vexation but did not show it on his face, he was about to say something when Xiao Hui, who had been quiet all along, suddenly moved and looked back.
Ghost Li and Jin PingEr seemed to sense something at the same time, stood up and looked towards the south, in the southern horizon, above the tranquil FenXiang Valley surrounded by mountains, suddenly a sharp whistle was heard, a red light shot up to the sky, after illuminating the horizon, it slowly descended.
Ghost Li and Jin PingEr's eyes brightened at the same time.
In FenXiang Valley, the lights which were extinguished because of the deep night, one by one lit up.
The voices of men, near and far, mingled with the low, angry curses of those who had been disturbed in their sleep, gradually rose. But in this gradually growing hubbub, angry shouts mixed with strange beast-like roars, from the entrance of FenXiang Valley, travelled in.
A moment later, the sounds of fighting could be heard. At the same time, the crisp sound of a bell and the sound of an alarm reverberated above the valley. In the middle of the night, there was actually an external enemy attacking FenXiang Valley.
Arriving without a sound, Ghost Li and Jin PingEr who were hiding on another hill, looked at the lights at the entrance of FenXiang Valley, and the figures rushing out from FenXiang Valley from time to time, were secretly shocked.
Who exactly was it, dared to so brazenly offend one of the world's Good Faction leaders FenXiang Valley? Even the two of them who were the new generation's most outstanding experts, facing the hidden dragons and crouching tigers in FenXiang Valley, they could only consider if they could sneak in.
Originally when they had just arrived, Jin PingEr could not help but softly asked, "Don't tell me it is your Ghost King sect?"
Ghost Li naturally denied it but no matter how he thought about it, he really could not think of any other power in the world other than the Evil Faction, which other power would be so arrogant and daring?
In the night, the hubbub in FenXiang Valley, after a while, there were still figures rushing towards the valley entrance, looking at the situation, the situation not only did not calm down, instead it seemed to be worsening.
Ghost Li and Jin PingEr frowned slightly but this was after all a once in a lifetime opportunity, Ghost Li softly spoke to Jin PingEr beside him, "Let's go in."
Jin PingEr nodded her head but she glanced at Ghost Li and said, "I am very interested in the situation at the valley entrance, why don't we take advantage of the chaos to take a look?"
Ghost Li pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "You go ahead, I will go deeper into FenXiang Valley to take a look."
Jin PingEr seemed stunned in the darkness and then said, "Alright, then you be careful."
Ghost Li was slightly surprised, for Jin PingEr to suddenly say 'be careful', it seemed strange but Jin PingEr met his gaze, smiled sweetly, suddenly her figure turned into a faint light, quietly slid down the mountain ridge, the next moment she disappeared into the darkness.
Ghost Li frowned, a glint flashed past his eyes.
FenXiang Valley's history until now, although it could not be compared to Qing Yun sect and the Evil Faction but it had already been operating for more than eight hundred years. Ghost Li quietly snuck in in the shadows of the night, what greeted him were buildings with picturesque disorder of palaces and pavilions. Looking at the architectural style, it was rather similar to the Central Plains but in the minute details, like the window lintel and eaves, there were some ferocious beast carvings, which the Central Plains did not have. Clearly in these eight hundred years, FenXiang Valley had also been influenced by the southern border's local rough customs.
At the valley entrance, it was still bustling, that kind of alarm that gave Ghost Li and Jin PingEr the most headache, was also ringing incessantly. The place where he was carefully hiding, was at the foot of the mountain, in the shadow behind a large rock. The last time he sneaked in, it was also from here, a few more steps forward, immediately that inexplicable clear ringing sounded.
Right now he could hear the ringing from afar, three zhangs in front of the large rock was an empty space, and then there was an ordinary looking house, it looked like the residence of FenXiang Valley disciple.
Ghost Li inhaled a deep breath, straightened his body in the shadows, looked around, the surroundings were quiet, compared to the noises far away, it was even quieter. As for the FenXiang Valley disciple in that house, seemed to have been summoned to the valley entrance.
In this strange silence, Ghost Li unhurriedly walked forward.
One step, two steps …
He walked very slowly, until he had taken five steps, the surroundings were still as usual.
But the expression on Ghost Li's face, was even more solemn, because the last time he was here, it was when he took the sixth step, he was discovered by that strange ringing.
The glint in his eyes gradually brightened, he slowly swept his gaze around but saw that there was still no change.
The next moment, he slowly took the sixth step.
[Ding ling …]
Almost at the same time his foot touched the ground, a clear ringing suddenly rang ahead, in the silence, it spread far and wide.
Ghost Li's body stiffened, his heart filled with shock and anger, this FenXiang Valley's ghost skills were so powerful but he could not discover it, it was really strange.
But tonight's situation was naturally different from the past few days, although Ghost Li had triggered some invisible mechanism and sounded the alarm but the noises and fighting noises were even more intense, in a short while, the ringing drowned out the ringing.
Ghost Li made a prompt decision, swept his gaze around and then flew up, sticking close to the ground and skimmed to the back of the house in front, just that the ringing was still ringing non-stop, it was really a headache.
And at this moment, the monkey Xiao Hui who had been quietly crouching on Ghost Li's shoulder suddenly called out, Ghost Li was startled, turned his head and glanced at Xiao Hui on his shoulder.
Reflecting the faint moonlight in the night, in front of Ghost Li who was in the shadows, Xiao Hui's body suddenly emitted a slight [Ka ka] sound and then that grey scar on its forehead, its colour seemed to darken.
Before Ghost Li could react, Xiao Hui, who seemed to feel something was wrong, suddenly turned its head, a pair of monkey eyes suddenly lit up with a strange threatening golden light but behind that patch of golden, indistinctly a trace of strange red.
[Zhi zhi, zhi zhi.]
Xiao Hui's monkey hand suddenly pointed to the foundation at a remote corner of the house.
Ghost Li carried Xiao Hui down, carefully assessed it, quietly said, "What is it, Xiao Hui?"
[Zhi zhi, zhi zhi!]
Xiao Hui called out softly, its hand still pointing at that direction, at the same time the golden light in its eyes slowly dimmed.
Ghost Li frowned and then nodded, placed it on his shoulder, his body immediately drifted over.
The dark corner of the foundation, faintly emitted the smell of moss, under Ghost Li's careful search, very soon he found a small hole about one chi in size, hidden in the foundation.
A glint flashed in his eyes, stretched out his hand, suddenly as fast as lightning, a low cry was heard from the hole and then immediately quietened down, almost at the same time, the incessant ringing of the bell also suddenly stopped.
A trace of smile appeared on Ghost Li's lips, he unhurriedly pulled his hand out, the next moment, in his hand, there was a strange wild beast, struggled for a while and then stopped moving.
This strange beast was covered in grey skin, about three chi long, its body was in a strange 'bow' shape, its back towering high, head and tail drooping low, a pair of small black bean-like eyes embedded in its head. But the strangest thing was that this beast had an unusually long nose. It was about half a foot long, almost a third of its body length. There were two thick nostrils at the front of its nose, making it look like a pig raised in a farmer's house.
Ghost Li was stunned for a moment and then snorted, softly muttered, "No wonder I said we can't hide no matter what, there is actually this' Grey Dolphin '(Note 1) here."
