Chapter 381: First Visit to Sound Valley

After dealing with a bunch of trivial matters in Fenyan Valley, Xiao Ling said goodbye to Tang Huoer. He did not stay in Fenyan Valley for too long, and took Qinglin with him on the journey to Yin Valley.

Thanks to the detailed map of Yin Valley provided by Tang Huoer, Xiao Ling saved a lot of trouble in finding the way.

He did not want to waste time in the jurisdiction of Yin Gu, nor did he intend to follow the agreement with Ning Yuxi to find Yin Gu's deacon to lead the way. Doing so would undoubtedly take up too much time.

Therefore, he followed the route drawn on the map and headed directly towards the location of the Yingu Sect.

During this trip, Xiao Ling did not rush. He chose to accompany Qing Lin and travel leisurely on the journey. The scenery of Zhongzhou was picturesque, and they walked and stopped to enjoy it.

Sometimes the two of them would play by the flowery stream, watching the colorful petals drifting with the current. Qing Lin would smile and reach out to scoop them up, while Xiao Ling would watch her from the side, his eyes full of doting;

Sometimes they strolled along the trails in the lush forests, listening to the birds singing and smelling the fragrance of the grass and trees. Qinglin skipped and jumped in front, turning back from time to time to call out to Xiao Ling to hurry up.

Every scenery is more beautiful because of each other's company, and every moment leaves a warm mark in their hearts.

For Xiao Ling and Qing Lin, the joy of the journey came not only from the picturesque scenery, but also from having each other by their side.

In this long journey of life, what is important is never the destination, but the person who always accompanies you on this journey. As long as two people are together, even the simplest scenery is like a paradise on earth.

……

At the edge of the southwest of Zhongzhou, there is a vast mountain range. This mountain range is majestic and stretches for hundreds of thousands of miles, like a giant dragon lying across the earth.

This place is called Lanxiu Mountains. The mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. The clouds and mist are like a mysterious veil that hides the true appearance of the mountains.

Viewed from a distance, the mountain range appears looming in the clouds and mist, appearing even more majestic and tall, like a sacred mountain in a fairyland, which makes people feel awe and dare not easily desecrate it.

In the core area of ​​the Lanxiu Mountains is the Sound Valley, one of the three valleys in Zhongzhou. It is the most mysterious of the three valleys.

In this vast area of ​​one million miles, countless forces and urban areas regard Yin Gu as a holy place, respect Yin Gu, and depend on Yin Gu for development.

Yin Gu has a rather lenient management of the subordinate forces under his command, without too many strict restrictions.

However, the three valleys are famous, and as one of them, Yin Gu's low-key style adds a strong mysterious color to himself, making the outside world full of awe and curiosity about him.

"Om-"

In the sky above the Lanxiu Mountains, a low roar suddenly came from the sky, and a black shadow flashed by like an arrow. In an instant, a strong wind whistled up, sweeping in all directions like a surging wave.

The slender black figure was like a sharp blade, majestically cutting through the clouds along the way. The clouds rolled to both sides, leaving behind a striking trail of clouds, as if the sky was cut open.

As the sight zoomed in, I could see Rayquaza soaring freely across the sky. It was majestic, and the air currents it created seemed to have substance as it streaked across the sky.

On the broad back of the Liekong Seat, Xiao Ling and Qing Lin stood side by side, their sleeves fluttering in the wind.

In Xiao Ling's arms, a gorgeous little mink with black and purple fur was lying lazily. Its fur was shining with a mysterious luster under the sunlight, and it looked like a precious work of art, quite extraordinary.

After nearly a month of stopping and walking, Xiao Ling followed the route on the map and gradually approached the Yin Gu base. At this time, Xiao Ling was not far from the final location shown on the map. It would not take long before he could reach the Yin Gu base.

In front of Xiao Ling, a gorgeous token was suspended in the air. On the token was engraved a large word "音", which was emitting a bright glow and looked quite strange.

It exudes a bright light, which is like a layer of soft gauze, swaying gently in the air. It looks quite strange, as if it is guiding Xiao Ling's final direction.

Seeing the green light on the token suddenly grow brighter, a hint of curiosity emerged in Qinglin's beautiful green eyes. She reached out and gently brushed a strand of green hair that was blown by the wind behind her ear, then looked at Xiao Ling and asked softly:
"Master, since we entered the Lanxiu Mountains, the token that Sister Ning Yuxi gave you has started to glow. Now it's shining so brightly, are we not far from the Sound Valley base?"

"Yes, that's right." Xiao Ling nodded slightly, "We are not far from the location marked on the map. With Rayquaza's speed, we will be there in about a quarter of an hour."

As he spoke, he nodded and smiled slightly, then stopped injecting fighting spirit into the token. He then stretched out his hand and the token returned to his hand, which he kept safely.

……

After driving for about a quarter of an hour, under Xiao Ling's instructions, the Rayquaza was wrapped in a breeze and slowly landed in front of a valley.

Xiao Ling and Qing Lin jumped off the back of Liekongzuo. After putting Xiao Diao and Liekongzuo away, they looked up and a picture like a paradise slowly unfolded before their eyes.

The valley is surrounded by lush green mountains, which are like green giants, silently guarding this peaceful place.

The trees on the mountain are tall and lush, with branches and leaves intertwined. The sunlight shines through the gaps, like pieces of golden gauze, forming mottled light and shadows on the forest floor.

At the entrance of the valley, a crystal clear stream gurgles. The water hits the rocks, splashing crystal clear water and making crisp and pleasant sounds, like a beautiful music played by nature.

There are unknown wild flowers growing by the stream, colorful. When the breeze blows, they sway gently, as if nodding to the visitors.

Looking further into the valley, you can see abundant green. It is a vibrant grassland, like a huge green velvet carpet, extending deep into the valley.

Occasionally, a few ancient trees are dotted among the grass, and their thick trunks are covered with moss and vines, as if telling the story of the years.

This place is far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, there is no dispute, no noise, only the singing of birds, the gentle breeze and the whispers of flowers, plants and trees.

Every inch of the air is filled with freshness and tranquility, as if time has slowed down here, making people indulge in it and forget about worldly troubles.

"This place is so quiet and peaceful, as if it is isolated from the world. It really has some of the style of Yin Gu. Such a beautiful scenery is like a treasure left by God in the world. It is really a perfect place to live in seclusion."

Looking at the dreamlike scenery in front of him, Xiao Ling couldn't help but sigh with emotion. He squinted his eyes slightly and took a deep breath of the fresh air with the fragrance of flowers and plants, as if he wanted to carve the breath of this paradise into his soul.

"Young Master is right. Qinglin will definitely not get bored if I can live with you in a place like this for the rest of my life." Qinglin blinked his big, lively eyes, with a gleam of longing in them.

The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a sweet smile, which was as beautiful as a blooming flower under the sunlight.

"Haha, you silly girl." Xiao Ling smiled and stretched out his hand, gently rubbing Qinglin's little head, his eyes full of pampering. His movements were very gentle, and there was a hint of pampering and helplessness in his tone.

"I'm still young, and I'm not the type to sit around and relax. When I get older, maybe I'll choose a place like this to live in seclusion and relax."

Qinglin tilted her head slightly, a strand of black hair brushed across her cheek in the wind. She stretched out her hand and tucked the hair behind her ear, her eyes revealing sincere expectation: "As long as the young master is willing, no matter where the young master goes, Qinglin will follow closely and stay by his side."

"Silly boy, why would I not want to?" Xiao Ling's smile was warm and sincere, and his voice was filled with gentle warmth. He gently held Qing Lin's hand, and cast his eyes into the depths of the valley, his eyes flashing with curiosity and expectation about the unknown. "Let's go, we should go to the Sound Valley to take a good look." The two walked side by side in the picturesque valley, with endless green grass under their feet. Every step they took was on the soft grass, as if they were walking on the most natural velvet carpet. A breeze blew gently, mixed with the fragrance of wild flowers and the freshness of the soil, gently surrounding them.

When Xiao Ling and Qing Lin went deeper into the valley, their eyes were involuntarily attracted by two magnificent stone pillars. The two stone pillars stood on a green lawn, which was particularly eye-catching.

The design of these two stone pillars is very unique. They are not straight, but slightly curved. The curve is like a master's careful carving, so soft without any abruptness, giving the stone pillars a unique charm.

From the bottom, they are about 30 meters apart, as if they have some kind of tacit understanding, echoing each other, but also independent of each other. There is a distance of about 50 meters between the stone pillars, which makes the surrounding space more spacious and open, as if it is a naturally formed square. When the line of sight moves upward, the tops of the stone pillars are also kept about 30 meters apart.

The most shocking thing is that these two stone pillars are two hundred feet high, as if they are about to break through the clouds. Their huge bodies cast long shadows under the sunlight, as if outlining mysterious patterns on the ground.

Standing under the stone pillars and looking up, you will be overwhelmed by the imposing aura that reaches into the sky, and you can't help but admire the creativity and craftsmanship of the builders.

"Master, the space here seems a little strange, could it be the entrance to the space of the Sound Valley?

The two of them came to the two stone pillars, and Qinglin's lively eyes looked around, searching. Finally, her eyes fixed on the middle of the two stone pillars and she spoke.

With the keen insight granted by the Green Snake's Three-Flower Pupil, when Qinglin approached the stone pillar, he quickly noticed that there was something unusual in the surrounding space.

"Yes, according to the location recorded on the map, this is the entrance to the space where Yin Valley is located." Xiao Ling smiled slightly and said with certainty.

As soon as Xiao Ling finished speaking, he took a step forward and walked steadily to the middle of the stone pillar, then took out the green token from the ring. He took a deep breath and continuously injected the fighting spirit in his body into the token.

In an instant, layers of invisible waves were seen with the token as the center, spreading out in all directions like ripples caused by a stone thrown into a calm lake.

And right at the center of the two stone pillars, the space that originally looked no different from the surrounding areas seemed to be suddenly given life and began to spin violently.

The silver spatial force continued to surge and rotate like a whirlpool, becoming faster and faster, and the light became more and more dazzling.

Finally, in the dazzling silver light, a circular space door slowly formed. A mysterious and dazzling light flowed above the door, which looked quite mysterious.

Xiao Ling turned around, extended his hand to Qing Lin, smiled slightly, and said, "Qing Lin, let's go in."

Qinglin nodded vigorously, and then held Xiao Ling's hand tightly.

Xiao Ling held Qinglin's hand firmly with his backhand, then leaped lightly towards the space door that was constantly rotating and shining with mysterious light.

As the two passed through the space door, a strange force instantly wrapped them tightly. Instantly, a bright light flashed before their eyes, as dazzling as the sun exploding, making them subconsciously close their eyes.

Then, a slight feeling of weightlessness came over me like a tide, and my body became light, as if I had turned into two light feathers, floating leisurely in the vast sea of ​​clouds.

When their vision cleared again, they found themselves in a completely new world.

Here is a vast expanse of lawn, like a large piece of soft green velvet carpet. When you step on it gently, you can feel the extremely soft touch under your feet, just like walking on clouds. You can feel the caress of the grass with every step.

With every breath, the fresh aroma of grass and trees hits your nose. It is a natural fragrance mixed with the scent of earth, lingering at the tip of your nose, refreshing your heart and making you feel refreshed.

Looking ahead, one mountain after another rises from the ground, majestic and magnificent. The rocks on the mountain peaks shimmer slightly in the sunlight, as if they were carefully polished by nature.

On the top of the mountain, there are some buildings scattered in an orderly manner. The architectural style is simple and elegant, and the flying eaves and corners are looming in the clouds, as if they are mysterious pavilions hidden in the fairyland.

Some of these pavilions seem to be built with ancient sandalwood, exuding a faint wood fragrance; others seem to be built with white jade, reflecting soft light in the sun.

The breeze blows gently, and from time to time you can hear some wonderful sounds, which are the melodies of musical instruments.

There are melodious piano sounds, flowing through the valley like a gurgling stream, and the notes jumping in the air, as if telling an ancient story; there are crisp flute sounds, like the singing of birds in the woods, gentle and ethereal, echoing among the mountain peaks; and there are low flute sounds, like the whispers of ancient souls, with a mysterious charm, making this world more ethereal.

These sounds interweave to form a beautiful piece of music, as if the entire valley is gently moving to the rhythm.

If the space outside the Sound Valley is a picture of a paradise, then the space inside the Sound Valley is simply a step into a paradise on earth. The scenery here is not only beautiful, but also has a kind of tranquility and harmony that transcends the world.

"Wow, young master, look at this place, it's so beautiful! It's much more beautiful than Xingyun Pavilion." Qinglin opened his big watery eyes and looked around, and the emotion from the heart spread in the air.

"Indeed." Xiao Ling nodded slightly, with approval and appreciation in his eyes, "The beauty here is really shocking. It's not an exaggeration to say that it is a paradise on earth."

He paused, listened attentively to the music lingering around him, and his expression gradually became a little strange.
"Moreover, the music in this space is unique and has a unique charm. If I am not mistaken, the noise we made here should have attracted the attention of the people in the valley."

As expected by Xiao Ling, as soon as he finished speaking, white shadows flew over like meteors.

In an instant, these white shadows stopped not far in front of Xiao Ling and others. They turned out to be young women with graceful figures.

They were like a group of fairies falling from the clouds, their white sleeves fluttering in the wind, light and graceful.

These women all have stunning looks, with fair skin that seems to glow in the sun, picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and cherry-like lips.

However, the moment they saw Xiao Ling and Qing Lin, their pretty faces, which were originally as beautiful as spring flowers, were instantly filled with vigilance.

Their gazes were like sharp arrows, fixed tightly on Xiao Ling and the other two, as if they would attack immediately if the other party made the slightest movement.

The leading woman took a step forward. She stood tall and straight, her eyes were like lightning, and she shouted in a tone full of vigilance: "Who are you, and why did you break into my Sound Valley without permission..."

"I am Xiao Ling from Xingyun Pavilion, invited by Miss Ning Yuxi." Xiao Ling smiled slightly, looking calm and composed. As he spoke, he raised his wrist slightly and threw the token in his hand, which was emitting a green light, forward.

Xiao Ling's eyes fell on the girls in front of him, and he couldn't help but think secretly. He had heard rumors from the outside world that Yin Gu had very strict standards for recruiting people, and appearance was an important factor. Now it seemed that it was true.

I think that if someone is not good-looking, even if he is very talented, Yin Gu will not accept him as his disciple.

The female disciple took the token, checked it carefully, and confirmed that it was correct. Her originally cold face suddenly melted like ice and snow meeting the warm sun in spring, and she revealed a warm smile.

Immediately, the leading woman turned lightly and looked at Xiao Ling, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a gentle smile: "So you are Master Xiao Ling, Miss Yuxi has already instructed us. Please follow me."

After saying this, her graceful body moved slightly, like a white bird spreading its wings, and instantly flew into the air. Her sleeves fluttered in the wind, and she flew towards the depths of the mountains like a meteor.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling and Qing Lin looked at each other, then they also stood up and flew into the air, following closely behind... (End of this chapter)
