Chapter 177 Eternal Night Star River 19
The carriage drove along and came to a place with extremely beautiful scenery. Everyone decided to get off to rest, adjust themselves, and then continue on their journey.
Several people divided the work, some collected wood, some made fire, and Jiuning was assigned to pick fruit nearby.
Not far from where they rested, there was a big mountain, and the red fruits could be seen from a long distance away.
The mountain road is rugged and difficult to climb, and no one has ever set foot here. This may be a problem for the local people, but it cannot stop them who have great magical powers.
Jiuning was wearing a goose yellow dress. She teleported beautifully to the middle of the mountain and looked at the fruits that were bending the branches, some of which were already ripe and had fallen to the ground.
She picked a big and red one, wiped it with the handkerchief in her hand, took a bite, and the sweet and sour juice immediately flowed into her mouth, making her squint her eyes in happiness.
She swallowed one with a few crunches, then lifted a corner of her skirt, put all the picked fruits into her skirt pocket, turned around happily, and was about to go down the mountain to meet up with everyone.
But suddenly I noticed a gaze behind me.
Mu Sheng slowly emerged from behind the tree like a puppy, and stared at the purse around his waist again.
Jiu Ning took a look at the other person's expression and knew that he was dissatisfied with her purse again.
He glanced at the other person, covered his side with his hands to avoid Mu Sheng's sight, and turned around to walk back.
"Jiujiu, that purse is too ugly, I made one for you..."
Mu Sheng stared at him with resentful eyes and a pitiful expression.
Jiu Ning turned around and looked at the thing in Mu Sheng's hand. It was round and gray, and his face was full of disgust. How could he have the nerve to say that others were ugly.
"Too ugly, no!"
Mu Sheng was stunned, but he was determined to get rid of the annoying thing, so he stretched out his hand and sparked it towards Jiuning's waist.
Jiuning waved his hand and dispersed it.
"Ah... Ziqi... look at what you have done?"
The sparks dispersed, but did not go out. Instead, they scattered on the hem of her skirt, the hem of the skirt filled with fruit.
A hole was burned in the skirt and the fruits were scattered all over the floor.
Mu Sheng hurried forward, apologizing and slapping him frantically. Jiu Ning was angry and didn't want to pay attention to him, then he slipped away.
Mu Sheng was left with only a smirk, looking down at the purse in his hand, which he had just taken from Jiu Ning during the chaos. He raised his hand and poked the purse with a flame, burning it clean.
"hey-hey!!!"
He looked at his purse again and frowned. It was indeed quite ugly. He sighed and stuffed it back into his sleeve.
Finally, they came to a village called "Zhijing Town". The villagers smiled at everyone they met, greeted each other and chatted. The atmosphere was not only simple but also more harmonious.
But there was a hint of strangeness in the harmony. First, Mu Sheng caught a little girl stealing a purse, and then Miaomiao gave some silver and let the girl go.
Afterwards, several people saw people from the Imperial Observatory in Shengjing selling talismans in this remote village. More importantly, the talismans were fake.
Guo Huai has curly hair, is nonchalant, and looks out of place, but it is such a person who is deeply trusted by the villagers here.
He spent a fortune to buy a peace talisman, but it was actually just a mosquito repellent talisman.
This kind of deception immediately made the group of people feel disgusted and none of them treated him well.
When they sat together for dinner in the evening, they talked about the unusual things in the town.
"Someone has left every household in this town!"
"And they will all be back tomorrow!"
"Legend has it that once you go to Lost Valley, there's no returning!"
As the few people talked, the atmosphere became more solemn. The scene became quiet for a while, but the scream of a woman outside the door broke the silence.
"Tianguan, please, please save Douya, my daughter has fallen into the Lost Valley."
As the woman cried and screamed, more and more villagers gathered, and Jiuning and his group also rushed out to check the situation.
I saw the woman kneeling on the ground. She was thin and frail, with messy hair. Even such a woman took out the few copper coins she had on her.
"I have money, I have money, Tianguan, please save my daughter!"
Guo Huai sighed, walked closer with a helpless look on his face, then made a spell-casting gesture. A white light slowly gathered at his fingertips, slowly floated in the air, and floated into everyone's forehead.
"Your daughter just went out, she will be back tomorrow..."
Seeing that the villagers' expressions became dull, they began to repeat Guo Huai's words.
Everyone became angry, and Liu Fuyi was even more furious. She slapped Guo Huai on the chest and knocked him away.
Unexpectedly, the man not only did not feel embarrassed about being caught, but instead blamed them.
"Why are you guys here again? You're always causing trouble!"
Liu Fuyi looked at her hand and felt that the palm strike just now seemed a little light.
"As a celestial official, not only do you not stand up for the people, but you even cast a spell to erase their memories. How despicable!"
Guo Huai dusted himself off and looked angrily at the few people who started to meddle in other people's affairs without even understanding the situation.
"What do you know? You can't go to Lost Valley. If you go there, there's no coming back."
Miaomiao immediately disagreed and put her hands on her hips.
"You liar don't dare to intervene, so we will. We are really determined to save this person. We must break into the Lost Valley."
No one behind him refuted. Jiu Ning sighed and said, "Alas! It's good to be passionate, but it's a bit too self-confident."
There are many people in this world who are more capable than them. If it weren't for the fact that Miaomiao is a person with great luck...
Jiu Ning did not refute and followed a few people to the Lost Valley overnight.
At the entrance of the valley, the fog was so thick that you couldn't see your fingers when you stretched out your hand.
Mu Sheng stood beside Jiu Ning worriedly and walked into the valley together. As they walked, the auras around them disappeared one by one.
The foggy valley suddenly turned into a paradise with birds singing and flowers blooming.
The little demons around her that had not yet completely degenerated, half human and half beast, ran past her happily.
Some monsters even imitated the clothes of ordinary people, wearing a cloth towel around their heads and an apron around their waists. Some of them held hoes and some held winnowing baskets, and they reclaimed the wasteland in the valley.
When these people met, they also greeted each other and said hello to each other.
'What did you do today? What did you eat?'
Jiuning slowly walked to a bamboo house. A beautiful woman, dressed in white, with a happy smile on her face, reached out and gently stroked the hair of a five or six-year-old boy.
Everything in the valley is so real and simple.
Suddenly, a loud rumbling sound broke all the silence, followed by the second and third sound...
Huge rocks rolled down in the valley and the monsters fled, but where was the safe place?
More and more monsters were crushed under the rocks, and their screams echoed throughout the valley.
"Ah... help..."
Jiuning's feet were wobbling, and a huge rock was coming towards her...
