Chapter 154: Desolate Misty Valley
Chapter 154: Desolate Misty Valley
Garen breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that he had managed to fool the situation temporarily.
He quickly put on a smile and said, "Master, the Peach Blossom Fairy's clan is deep in the Misty Valley. I will take you there right away!"
Lin Molin looked at Garen deeply and said nothing, which was considered as tacit agreement to his proposal.
Garen had a guilty conscience and didn't dare to look Lin Molin in the eye. He leaned sideways and led the way.
Soon, the two arrived at the Misty Valley.
However, this place surprised Lin Molin. It was called the Misty Valley, but there was no thick fog at all. Instead, it was so desolate that not even a blade of grass grew.
Lin Molin frowned, looking at the desolation in front of him, and his heart suddenly ached.
She clutched her chest, her face full of confusion.
Because this is a pain that comes from the depths of my soul...
Garen, who was standing by, noticed her abnormality and looked worried, but he didn't dare to step forward and ask.
After a moment, Lin Molin recovered and turned to look at Garen, "Have I been here before?"
Garen nodded, “Master, not only have you been here before, you grew up here!
I remember you were so naughty when you were little, you always made Hua Chunshen so angry that he jumped up and down!"
Lin Molin was full of questions, "So, I'm familiar with Hua Chunshen?"
Gai Lun nodded as a matter of course, "Yes! Hua Chunshen is your wet nurse...son..."
After he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong and quickly slapped his mouth.
He's such a deadbeat, it's really annoying... He tells everything...
"A wet nurse..." Lin Molin murmured.
No wonder Hua Chunshen treated her so well when they were in the God's Tomb before.
It was a pity that the tree with the sacred peaches was not brought out. She was still obsessed with the "corpse" of the flower spring goddess.
Lin Molin didn't ask any more questions and continued forward.
Garen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed behind.
The two men walked forward in this desolate land. The ground under their feet was dry and hard, and a little dust was raised with every step.
"Galen, where is the mist in this Misty Valley?"
Aren't place names based on their characteristics? There's not a trace of fog in this Misty Valley. Isn't that a huge discrepancy?
Having said that, Galen sighed and remained silent for a while.
Then he slowly said: "Alas, the reason why Peach Blossom Fairy Demons are called Fairy Demons is because they are neither demons nor fairies.
Similar to the existence of half-demon and half-immortal, they need spiritual energy to practice, but the aura of the demon makes them unacceptable to the secular world.
So they were forced to leave the spiritual land of the human race and settle in Yunze.
At that time, this place was not called Misty Valley, but the Land of Death.
Their identities are awkward and they are ostracized in the demon world. Only when there are no big demons fighting for them in the land of death can they settle down again.
They came here, inserted their bodies into the soil, and slowly released the spiritual power contained in them to improve this barren land.
Day after day, year after year.
Their spiritual power gradually merged with the land, bringing some life to the originally silent "Land of Death".
The land was no longer as cracked as it was at the beginning, and some weeds began to poke out from the cracks in the rocks.
In order to better conceal themselves and practice, the peach blossom fairies use their own spiritual power to gather the surrounding water vapor, creating a fog that lasts all year round.
The fog can lock the spiritual energy of the land of death from dissipating, and can also prevent evil spirits from entering it.
From then on, the "Land of Death" was officially renamed Misty Valley.
This mysterious place has also become the new habitat of the Peach Blossom Fairy Demon Clan.
Until later, master, you know, they were surrounded and suffered countless casualties.
Now that the tribe is gone, Misty Valley has returned to its original state as a land of the dead."
Just like this, desolate and lifeless.
After hearing this, Lin Molin felt complicated.
The two of them didn't speak and continued to go deeper into the Misty Valley.
As she walked, Lin Molin suddenly discovered a faint light in front of her, so she quickened her pace and approached.
All that came into view was a broken stump of a peach tree.
There is a young leaf growing on the root of the tree.
Lin Molin looked up and saw that the front was densely packed with peach tree stumps.
Garen, who was standing nearby, looked sad when he saw the tree stump. He squatted down and touched the young leaf in front of him, "Grandma, Xiaolun is here to see you."
When Lin Molin heard Garen's words, he was shocked and looked at him sideways.
Garen's eyes were filled with sadness and nostalgia, and his eyes were red.
Lin Molin suddenly understood something and turned to Garen in disbelief, "What is this? The Peach Blossom Fairy Demon Cemetery?"
Garen slowly stood up and nodded gently, his voice choking with sobs, "Master, this is indeed the cemetery of the Peach Blossom Fairy Demon. After that brutal encirclement and suppression, no one from our tribe survived.
When I arrived with the monsters, they were already dead.
I will bury my grandparents and all the others here."
Lin Molin felt a pang of pain in his heart. Looking at the dense tree stumps in front of him, he seemed to see the tragic massacre that year passing by before his eyes.
She asked softly, "What about this tender leaf..."
Galen shook his head, "I don't know why.
But the young leaves suddenly grew out one day eight hundred years ago.
To this day, nothing has changed.”
Hearing this, Lin Molin squatted down thoughtfully and stared at the tender leaf again.
My fingers gently stroked its veins, and there seemed to be a faint spiritual power flowing in the veins, which was out of tune with the dead silence around it.
"This spiritual power is so pure, it doesn't seem like something that grew naturally, but rather someone planted it deliberately..." Lin Molin muttered to himself.
Suddenly, she thought of a possibility. She turned to look at Galen and asked, "Eight hundred years ago, was there anyone who came here?"
When Garen heard this, he looked thoughtful and frowned.
After a long while, he slowly spoke, "Eight hundred years ago... I lived in seclusion in the mountains near Misty Valley for many years, and I didn't notice any unusually powerful aura entering this place."
"No?" Lin Molin was a little disappointed.
Yes, if that person had returned, how could Galen not know...
When she comes back, she will definitely look for Garen.
"By the way, Master, what exactly are you looking for with the Peach Blossom Fairy Demon Clan?"
Galen suddenly remembered this.
Lin Molin's expression froze, and she quickly took out the wooden spirit bead given to her by Hua Chunshen from her spiritual space.
The moment the Wood Spirit Pearl came out, Lin Molin suddenly felt countless peach tree stumps breathing in bursts.
Lin Molin widened his eyes, looking at the Wood Spirit Pearl in his hand in disbelief, and then looked around at the seemingly dead peach tree stumps.
"Galen, do you feel it? This Wood Spirit Pearl seems to have some kind of connection with these tree stumps. They seem... still alive?"
Garen also looked surprised, and he concentrated on feeling.
After a while, he opened his eyes in surprise, "Master, I can feel the breathing of my grandmother and the others!!!"
