Chapter 226
After a difficult journey, they finally arrived at the entrance of Tianfeng Valley. It was a steep valley, shrouded in clouds and mist, making it difficult to see clearly what was going on inside.
Ren Xiaoyao said to Baimei Heying carefully: "Brother Baimei, you wait here for our news. If anything unexpected happens, you must help us in time."
White-browed Crane Shadow nodded and said, "Okay, you guys should be careful too. If you need any help, call me immediately."
Ren Xiaoyao and Aniu entered Tianfeng Valley. They walked along a path, and the further they went, the more they felt the sinister atmosphere here. There were countless ferocious monsters and traps here, which made Ren Xiaoyao and Aniu very difficult. But they were not discouraged, because they knew that only by passing many tests could they find the Nether Grass.
When Ren Xiaoyao and Aniu were trekking through Tianfeng Valley, a group of mysterious forces appeared in Tianfeng Valley. They were wearing black robes and holding sharp blades, and it was obvious at a glance that they were not good people.
The leader in black robe said in a deep voice: "We heard that there is a Nether Grass here. You must hand over the Nether Grass immediately, otherwise we will be rude to you."
Ren Xiaoyao and Ah Niu immediately felt a strong sense of crisis. They knew that this group of black-robed people must have a close connection with the Nether Grass. But they did not want to hand over the Nether Grass.
Ren Xiaoyao calmly said to the man in black robe: "I don't know what you are talking about. We are also here to look for the Nether Grass."
The black-robed man sneered, "Do you think you can go against us? Since we are able to come here, we must know the whereabouts of the Nether Grass."
Ren Xiaoyao knew the answer well and said, "Since you know the whereabouts of the Nether Grass, why don't you go look for it?"
The man in black robes did not speak, but looked at Ren Xiaoyao and Aniu coldly. His eyes were full of murderous intent and disdain. Obviously, he did not take Ren Xiaoyao and Aniu seriously.
Ren Xiaoyao also looked at the black-robed men without showing any weakness. He knew that these black-robed men must have considerable strength. But he did not want to hand over the Nether Grass. He believed that as long as they worked together, they would be able to defeat these black-robed men.
Ren Xiaoyao knew what was going on and calmly dealt with the black-robed man. He didn't want to reveal his cards easily, lest he be caught by the black-robed man.
Ah Niu had a fierce look on his face and glared at him. Although he was not as smart as Ren Xiaoyao, he had an indomitable courage. He knew that he could not hold his uncle back, so he had been secretly accumulating strength to prepare for a fight with the man in black robe.
The black-robed man was immediately furious when he saw that Ren Xiaoyao and Ah Niu were unmoved. He snorted coldly and said, "You guys don't know how to live or die. In that case, we won't be polite."
Before he finished speaking, the black-robed man led everyone to attack Ren Xiaoyao and A Niu. Black shadows flashed, and the flashes of swords and sabers intertwined. Ren Xiaoyao and A Niu did not dare to neglect and immediately went up to meet them.
For a moment, the sound of fighting rang out in the valley. Ren Xiaoyao was agile, leaping around, and displaying gorgeous martial arts. Ah Niu, on the other hand, had a fierce look on his face, fighting with the man in black robe with all his might.
Although Ren Xiaoyao and A Niu were quite skilled, they were helpless against the large number of black-robed men, each of whom possessed special skills. Ren Xiaoyao and A Niu gradually felt overwhelmed and full of loopholes.
Seeing this, the leader in black robes laughed wildly and said, "Hahaha, you guys still dare to resist, prepare to die!"
After that, the leader in black robe flew up, holding a sharp blade and slashing at Ren Xiaoyao and Aniu. Ren Xiaoyao saw this and secretly cried out that it was not good, and quickly drew the long sword from his waist to meet him.
There was a loud bang, and Ren Xiaoyao and the black-robed leader collided head-on. Ren Xiaoyao felt a strong gust of wind coming, and he could hardly stand. The black-robed leader took a few steps back, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.
Seeing this, Ah Niu shouted, "Uncle Master, I'm here to help you!"
After that, Ah Niu rushed towards the black-robed leader with a big knife in hand. Although Ah Niu's strength was not as good as Ren Xiaoyao and the black-robed leader, he was not afraid and fought with the enemy at the risk of his life.
At this moment, the white-browed crane appeared at the entrance of Tianfeng Valley. Seeing Ren Xiaoyao and Aniu imprisoned, he was extremely anxious. He took a deep breath, suppressed his panic, and slowly walked towards the man in black robe.
The white-browed crane shadow said to the black-robed leader in a deep voice: "Leave here immediately, or else don't blame me for being rude."
The leader in black robes seemed to recognize the white-browed crane shadow. He sneered and said, "So it's you, a piece of trash. In that case, let's stay together!"
After saying that, the leader in black robe slashed at the white-browed crane with a knife. The white-browed crane dodged the opponent's attack skillfully. Then, he struck the leader in black robe with a palm.
The leader in black robe was caught off guard and was knocked away by the white-browed crane shadow. His face suddenly changed and he exclaimed: "What kind of kung fu is this?"
White-browed Crane Shadow sneered and said, "This is the peerless martial art of our Spirit Snake Valley. You mortals will not understand it."
The black-robed leader's face suddenly turned pale, he knew he was no match for the White-browed Crane Shadow. But they had besieged Ren Xiaoyao and A Niu with so many people and failed to take them down, now there was another White-browed Crane Shadow, they were even more helpless.
Baimei Heying said loudly to Ren Xiaoyao and Ah Niu, "We need to leave here quickly and find the Nether Grass."
Ren Xiaoyao and Aniu nodded in agreement. The three of them immediately continued on their way, going deeper into Tianfeng Valley. They walked along a winding path, and the further they went, the more desolate the scenery became.
As Ren Xiaoyao walked, he told Ah Niu, "Ah Niu, you must be smart later. This place is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you will fall into danger."
Ah Niu nodded and said firmly, "Uncle Master, don't worry, I will definitely protect myself well."
The three of them went forward, gradually going deeper into Tianfeng Valley. Along the way, they encountered various dangers, including traps, monsters, and many men in black. However, with Ren Xiaoyao's wit, Baimei Heying's martial arts, and Aniu's bravery, they were able to overcome all the dangers and move forward smoothly.
Finally, they came to the deepest part of Tianfeng Valley. There was a huge stone gate with a line of ancient words engraved on it. Ren Xiaoyao looked at it carefully for a while, and then said to Baimei Heying and Aniu: "It says 'If you want to get the nether grass, wait for the moon to open the stone gate'."
Baimei Heying frowned and said, "Then how do we open the stone door?"
Ren Xiaoyao shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Let's give it a try."
After saying that, Ren Xiaoyao walked forward and pushed the stone door. The stone door did not move at all, as if it was locked by something. Ren Xiaoyao tried to chop it with his sword and hit it with his palm, but the stone door was still firm.
Ah Niu asked anxiously: "Uncle Master, why can't this door be opened?"
Ren Xiaoyao took a deep breath and said, "Let's not rush and see if there are any other clues."
The three of them began to search around. Suddenly, the ground beneath Baimei Heying's feet shook slightly, and he immediately shouted, "Brother Ren, Aniu, come here quickly!"
Ren Xiaoyao and Aniu rushed over after hearing the noise, only to see a crack in the ground beneath Baimei Heying's feet. They immediately worked together to dig up the cracked ground. Soon, they found a bronze tripod.
Ren Xiaoyao looked at it carefully for a while, then said to Baimei Heying and Aniu, "There is a puzzle on this bronze tripod. Only by solving the puzzle can you get the Nether Grass."
Ah Niu said anxiously: "Uncle Master, let's solve the puzzle quickly!"
Ren Xiaoyao nodded and began to think about the riddle on the bronze tripod. He pondered for a moment, then said to Baimei Heying and Aniu: "The riddle says 'the moon is the shadow, the river is the shape'. We should use the clues of the moon shadow and the river shape to solve the riddle."
Ah Niu said puzzledly: "But there is no river here, so how should we solve it?"
Ren Xiaoyao looked up at the sky and said, "Let's wait. The moon hasn't come out yet. We can solve this puzzle after the moon comes out."
After that, the three of them stood guard beside the bronze tripod. The moon gradually rose and shone on the earth. Ren Xiaoyao looked at the river under the moonlight and suddenly smiled and said, "Got it! Ah Niu, go to the river and project the moonlight onto the bronze tripod."
Although Ah Niu did not understand the meaning, he still did it. When he projected the moonlight onto the bronze tripod, the tripod suddenly emitted a dazzling light. After the light dissipated, a groove appeared on the surface of the bronze tripod.
Ren Xiaoyao took out a jade pendant of special shape and inserted it into the groove. The bronze tripod glowed again, and then a "creaking" sound was heard.
The three of them hurried forward and saw a door opened on the side of the bronze tripod. They walked through the door and found a wide space. In the center of the space, there was a green plant that emitted a faint light.
Ren Xiaoyao said excitedly: "This is the Nether Grass! We finally found it!"
The three approached the green plant and found that it was emitting a faint light, as if telling them something. Ren Xiaoyao was delighted and was about to pick it, but he saw that the light suddenly became brighter, and then a figure flew out from the light.
"Be careful!" Baimei Heying exclaimed, and in a flash, he protected Ah Niu behind him. Ren Xiaoyao was also startled, and he held his sword tightly, ready to deal with the attack from the newcomer.
But the figure was just floating in the air, with no intention of attacking. Ren Xiaoyao looked closely and saw that it was a young man in a green robe, with a handsome face and a mysterious power in his eyes.
"You are finally here." The young man said in a clear and moving voice.
Ren Xiaoyao frowned and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
The young man smiled and said, "I am the guardian of this space, and I have been waiting for your arrival."
Ren Xiaoyao was startled and asked in confusion: "Waiting for us to come? You knew we were coming here?"
The young man nodded and said, "Yes, I have been waiting here for a long time. My mission is to protect this space, and you are the only ones who can break the seal and obtain the Nether Grass."
Ren Xiaoyao and Baimei Heying looked at each other, feeling an ominous premonition. Ah Niu looked at everything in front of him blankly, not knowing what was going on.
The young man took out an ancient wooden box from his arms, and inside the box was an ancient book. He handed it to Ren Xiaoyao and said, "This is the seal book of the Nether Grass. Only those who can truly remove the seal can obtain the Nether Grass."
Ren Xiaoyao took the wooden box and felt a mysterious force coming from the box. He opened the ancient book with a thought in his mind. Suddenly, a powerful force surged out of the book and instantly filled the entire space.
Baimei Heying and Ah Niu also felt the existence of this power and were very surprised. They took the wooden box from Ren Xiaoyao and felt a heavy feeling coming over them.
The young man left, leaving only one sentence: "Remember, the time to unlock the seal is coming. When that moment comes, you must seize the opportunity."
Ren Xiaoyao looked at the young man's back as he left, his heart full of doubts. Baimei Heying and Aniu were also confused, not knowing what to do next.
They stood there and discussed for a while, and decided to take the Nether Grass back first, and then slowly study the method to unlock the seal. So the three of them left Tianfeng Valley and set out on their way home.
After returning to the Spirit Snake Valley, Ren Xiaoyao handed the Nether Grass to Baimei Heying for safekeeping. Baimei Heying also told the two of them the news about the Nether Grass in his possession.
It turns out that the Nether Grass is an extremely precious herb with a strong vitality. It is said that if you take it, you can heal all injuries and even bring people back to life. But for thousands of years, the Nether Grass has been hidden in a mysterious place and no one knows where it is.
