Chapter 189: Entering the Valley
While everyone was talking, Li Xiu turned sideways and asked the monk next to him, "Why did this deacon come to the teahouse to announce the news?"
The cultivator was also enthusiastic and replied with a smile, "You may not know, fellow Daoist, that the towns near Xuanling Valley all have strongholds of the Three Sects and Four Gates—the owner of this teahouse is from the Nine-Turn Gate's Stewardship Hall."
"I see. Thank you very much."
The man laughed out loud: "It's just a simple sentence, why thank me?"
Tao Zi sat aside and drank a cup of tea, saying, "The three sects and four gates will definitely send people to guard the exit."
The man said, "It's necessary. This is a good thing. It can prevent others from coming out and snatching the treasure."
Li Xiu smiled and joked, "If someone robbed the three sects and four schools of things in the valley, wouldn't it be a disaster after leaving the valley?"
The man laughed even louder, but his voice dropped as he spoke, "Fellow Daoist, the only ones who would rob the Three Sects and Four Schools are the Three Sects and Four Schools. If ordinary cultivators rob them, it's fine if they have enough strength, but if not, it's normal for them to trade for something else. Of course, the Three Sects and Four Schools are unlikely to let you suffer any loss."
Tao Zi said from the side: "With so many people watching, the three sects and four schools can't afford to tarnish their reputation. They agreed that everyone would rely on their own abilities, and that's what they said."
The man nodded in agreement.
Li Xiu thought about it and felt that this was the case.
The two stood up and left the teahouse. Tao Zi suddenly asked, "Do you remember the medicine I asked you to buy that time?"
"Of course, what's wrong?"
She smiled slightly and said, "Let's prepare some more, just in case."
Li Xiu suddenly had a headache, but nodded: "I'll go buy it now."
She walked back to her residence alone, and they were already up.
Xi Jing said, "Senior Sister, Senior Brother Hua said that you and Senior Brother Li went out to inquire about the news."
"Yes."
When she shared the new news, Yueshan and the others became excited and said, "That's great! We don't have to worry about not being able to enter the valley."
"Great, I'll go make a few more talismans."
They were chattering away, and Tao Zi listened patiently. After they quieted down, she said, "I don't think Senior Sister has asked you guys before. What floor are you on now?"
Han Yueshan straightened up and said, "Senior Sister, I am at the eighth level of physical training, Zhao Xue is at the seventh level, and Xi Jing is at the fifth level."
Tao Zi looked at them, nodded slightly, and said, "You three must act together. Don't be alone. Understand?"
"No problem, Senior Sister!" He hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Senior Sister, do you really want to act alone?"
She said, "Not necessarily, maybe Senior Brother Li will come with me."
The Flower Monk on the side interrupted: "Fellow Daoist Tao, if that's the case, it would be best if Junior Brother Han and the others come with me."
Tao Zi turned to look at him and said, "This way, Senior Brother Hua's movements will be restricted."
He waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "The treasure that is destined for me will find me, so don't worry."
Everyone was frowning.
She smiled and continued, "We'll definitely be together when we go in. As for whether we'll separate afterwards, that's another matter."
The little fox came out of the house and jumped into her arms and nestled in her arms.
Tao Zi looked down at it and said, "Do you have any spiritual plants you need?"
“Not at this time.”
When she heard this, she immediately looked up at Yue Shan and the others and asked, "What about you?"
Han Yueshan and the others looked at each other and said, "What could we possibly need? Of course we'll just pick whatever we see."
She thought for a moment and said, "There are some medicinal herbs that are very beneficial to the body refining stage. I'll draw them for you later. Please pay more attention to them."
"good."
Not long after, Li Xiu rushed back. He glanced at Tao Zi and said, "Xi Jing, let's switch rooms for the next few days."
Xi Jing was stunned: "But, but I slept with my senior sister."
Han Yueshan and the others also looked over with confusion.
He said directly: "Your senior sister and I are going to make some human skin masks."
Xi Jing looked at her senior sister and nodded slightly.
"Oh, okay, let's change."
Han Yueshan reacted the fastest and asked excitedly, "Should we wear human skin masks to rob things?"
Tao Zi stroked his forehead and said helplessly: "Don't be so excited, it's not certain yet."
He chuckled slyly and said, "Then Zhao Xue and I will go out and buy some cloaks and masks. Senior Sister, I'm pretty good at makeup."
Xi Jing nodded repeatedly on the side: "Yes, Senior Sister, Second Senior Brother can dress himself up as a tall woman, and even change his voice!"
Tao Zi looked over in surprise and said, "Tell me something."
Under the gaze of everyone, Han Yueshan said calmly, "I am honored to be here."
The woman's voice, which had a slight theatrical twang, shocked them. The flower monk mumbled, "It's quite nice."
Tao Zi thought about it silently, then said, "Can you teach others?"
Han Yueshan understood the meaningless words immediately and said, "Senior Sister's voice is already hoarse. If you want to change it to a male voice, it won't be a big problem."
She said, "When you have time, you can also teach them. It's a good thing to have one more skill."
"OK!"
That night, Tao Zi was making a mask while trying out the voice changing technique taught by Han Yueshan.
Li Xiu was tormented by the voices that alternated between male and female. He could no longer bear it and said, "Actually, if you lower your voice a little, no one will be able to tell whether you are a man or a woman."
She shook her head and said, "No, that change isn't thorough enough. Anyone with a keen ear would be able to hear it immediately."
The next morning, the voices of a group of men and women continued to linger in my ears, and even the flower monk joined in with great interest.
In desperation, Li Xiu grabbed Yue Shan and said in a heavy tone, "How did you practice? Teach me too."
When the three-day deadline arrived, they all put on human skin masks, masks and cloaks and rushed to the outside of Xuanling Valley.
There are still gusts of wind outside Xuanling Valley, but they are not as dense as before. At least now the general shape of the valley can be vaguely seen.
There were already quite a few people standing in front of the valley, but no one was making any noise.
The ten Yuanyings sat quietly in front of everyone, and when the time came, they all stood up.
Ten streams of spiritual energy were injected into the formation, and an illusory gate slowly appeared in front of the valley.
A steady voice reached everyone's ears: "Through this door, you will randomly appear at any location in the valley. Also, in ten days, the formation in the center of the valley will activate. A beam of light will then guide you. If you can't arrive within an hour, you will miss your chance to leave the valley."
The monks responded loudly.
Since only the young master of Minglan Sect came among the three sects, Xu Qianjia entered the valley first. Under the gaze of everyone, he led the disciples behind him into the formation.
Tao Zi watched from afar. From the outside, he seemed as cheerful and cheerful as ever, with no sign of the viciousness in his heart.
