Chapter 1542 Tao Xiang'er's Conditions

Ironically, the only time the Jingxiangxi people stepped into the Nightmare Valley was not under their deliberate organization.

Yes, it was an accident.

This matter can be traced back to the 1970s, when the leader of the Jingxiangxi people was Tao Xiang'er's father.

Renzi Year, May 5th, Dragon Boat Festival.

The Jingxiangxi people are descendants of the elite soldiers of the Chu State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The Dragon Boat Festival, a festival commemorating Qu Yuan, a great official of the Chu State, is naturally a very important festival for them.

On this day, many Xi people followed the custom and walked out of their seclusion to collect Vitex leaves on Jingshan Mountain. After collecting the Vitex leaves at this time, the Xi people had an ancient method to extract essential oil from the leaves. The aroma was so fragrant that the women of Xi people regarded it as...

Perfume to use.

That year, the adults were busy, and several children got separated from the adults while playing. They chased each other and spread joy all over the mountains and plains. One of the seven or eight-year-old boy walked into a nightmare while playing hide-and-seek.

Gu, for a few hours, his companions could not find him, so they were in a panic and could only tell the adults about it.

The place where the children played and slapped was originally near Nightmare Valley. The children didn't know how dangerous that place was. How could the adults not know? As soon as I heard about the place where they played, I immediately had an ominous premonition, involving such things.

It was a dangerous place, so the people immediately reported it to Tao Xiang'er's father.

Tao Xiang'er's father immediately rushed to Nightmare Valley with several Jingxiang great witches, and sure enough, he found the child's footprints at the entrance.

In the valley, which is as narrow as a line of sky, wherever you can see, there are countless dead bones on the ground. They are all Jingxiangxi people who died in the past. This valley is so evil. In the past years, the people who explored this place even

They will fall down before they even get out of sight.

But this time, no trace of the child was found in the valley.

It is the nature of every nation to protect children, and it is the same for Xi people. If the adults are not dead, who will put the children in danger?!

Children have never participated in the exploration of Nightmare Valley in the past. The valley becomes narrower as you go deeper. Once adults reach the depths, they have to walk sideways. Once they become inexplicably crazy and lose their minds, they will basically die.

You will be trapped inside until you die. This is the main reason why Xi Ren died in past explorations.

However, in places that are difficult for adults to pass, children can run around unscrupulously.

Tao Xiang'er's father looked at the empty valley and quickly realized this - perhaps, the child had run into the nightmare valley and reached a distant place they had never been before!!

Based on this, he decided to wait at the mouth of the valley with a few Jingxiang wizards. This waiting lasted for most of the day. When the sky gradually became darker and the Nightmare Valley became even darker, a small figure unexpectedly appeared.

Wandering out of the valley.

When the outline of his face gradually became clear, Tao Xiang'er's father finally determined that this person was the missing child.

The child took off the only linen shorts he was wearing and walked out naked. He was red all over, as if he had been boiled in boiling water. He kept scratching his body and looking in his eyes.

He was also a little distracted, but he had a strange smile on his face.

Tao Xiang'er's father almost rushed into the valley, but his reason prevented him from doing so. He kept calling the child's name at the entrance of the valley.

Such a call seemed to restore a little bit of the child's sanity. His distracted eyes suddenly drifted to Tao Xiang'er's father, and then he grinned: "Uncle Touman, it's so beautiful inside. It's colorful, like a fairyland.

It is covered with all kinds of magical medicinal materials, and the fruits of the ash trees on our mountain are almost piled up into a small mountain. I..."

Before he finished speaking, a piece of skin on his face suddenly cracked, like... using a hammer to knock a small hole in a piece of porcelain.

However, there is no flesh and blood under the broken skin, it is dark and empty, as if the child has really become a porcelain doll!

Immediately, there was a crackling sound on his body, and his skin quickly shattered, and then completely collapsed with a "crash". Skin the size of a fingernail fell off, with no bones at all, and finally turned into a small pile of leather shoes on the ground, as if

Like a small pile of paper ashes left after burning paper for the dead, the dark wind passed through the valley and blew the skin fragments the size of fingernails flying everywhere. It turned out that they were actually a thin layer of dry skin.

A cloud of black mist rushed into the depths of the valley and disappeared.

After listening to what Tao Xiang'er said, I was also very confused. I couldn't be sure for a while what it was that was pestering Jing Xiangxi. After thinking about it, I said: "So, if I want to get Xi

If you want to get the Wood Fruit and the Dragon Blood Sacred Tree, you have to go to the Nightmare Valley in Jing Mountain? These things are all in there."

"That's right, if you can take out the Cinnamon Fruit from it, I will definitely ask the Great Witch of Jingxiang to help you resolve the Taibai spiritual roots in your body."

Tao Xiang'er said seriously: "As for the Dragon Blood Sacred Tree, it will naturally be returned to its original owner. After all, when I defrauded Mr. Kang to get this thing, I just wanted to offer it as a sacrifice to Nightmare Valley.

Then I seek peace for my clan members for a year. If you have the ability to take it out, I will be happy to see it come to fruition."

"not enough!"

I shook my head and said very firmly: "At first glance, this seems to be the best of both worlds. I got what I wanted, and Mr. Kang also got what he wanted, but...why do I feel like I am at a loss?

That place is dangerous and unpredictable. You Jingxiangxi people are not good at it. You have been troubled for more than a thousand years. If we really go there, even if we are lucky enough to break into the depths, I am afraid it will not be so easy to take away what we want.

We will definitely fight against the thing that is blackmailing you and Xi people. If we are lucky enough to kill it, the biggest problem that troubles you Jingxiang Xi people will be solved.

So, at first glance, it seems that Mr. Kang and I are the ones who benefit from this matter, but in fact, the biggest winner is you, and you...need to pay almost no price!

This is not okay, the price you have to pay is not enough!"

I looked at him with a smile and said: "Your offerings for this year have not been received yet. If you can't continue to offer them, then Nightmare Valley will be your Jingxiangxi people's steel knife with a neck. If it is urgent, you are the most urgent.

You are willing to talk to me so much because you can't stand the pressure, right? You are at a loss for this year's offerings and have no confidence!"

"You are indeed a smart man."

Tao Xiang'er's eyes flickered and he said: "In that case, I won't hide it anymore. It seems that it is impossible to negotiate with you without bringing enough bargaining chips.

I know what you mean when you say these words. If, I mean if, if you are lucky enough to solve this mountain that is pressing on my people, then the Jingxiangxi people will join the Tianmeng!!"

After saying this, he said calmly: "You can absolutely believe in my promise. In fact, I have had these thoughts for a long time. Before Tianmeng came to me, I didn't want to talk to them more because Tianmeng was too thoughtful.

complex!

Not leaving the place where we have lived for generations, this is my bottom line!!

As for the Tianmeng, once they find our hiding place, with their behavior, if they find that the water in Nightmare Valley is too deep and the losses are too great, they will directly betray their trust. Instead of helping us solve the problem in Nightmare Valley, they will

To directly threaten us, to use force to force us to leave the place where we have lived for generations, and to completely become their lackeys from now on, this is unacceptable to me, and it is also unacceptable to the Xi people. My people are strong, and we will all be destroyed by then.

And you... I know your past and who you are. I know Zhang Daoxuan even better. Since you have forced me to make a choice, I choose to believe you instead of Tianmeng.

If we cooperate, I will only cooperate with you. People from Tianmeng are not allowed to participate in this matter. Even if we join Tianmeng, I will not let them know our hiding place. Instead, we will choose to leave our contact information.

When they need us, we will definitely help them.

As for you, I believe that after talking to you about so many pros and cons, you will not tell Tianmeng our hiding place. This is a judgment based on Zhang Daoxuan and your temperament.

These are my conditions. If you accept them, then we will cooperate and all three parties, no, all four parties will benefit. If you don’t accept them, then I’m sorry, I’ll kill you or cut you into pieces!”

I closed my eyes and fell into deep thought. I thought about it for a long time. When I opened my eyes again, a sincere smile appeared on my face. I stood up and stretched out my hand: "So, happy working together?"

Tao Xiang'er also had a smile on his face and shook hands with me heavily.
