1246: C1246 The Shadow of the Valley Entrance

C1246 The Shadow of the Valley Entrance

Yang Xuan's biggest headache right now was how to proceed without these herdsmen leading the way.

Although the red sparrow had already marked the path on the map, the geography of Kṣitigarbha was extremely complicated. Furthermore, it was late at night.

Even if Yang Xuan could finally find the place, if no one led the way, it would be inevitable for him to take a lot of unnecessary routes, which would waste a lot of time.

At this moment, every second was precious to Yang Xuan and the red sparrow.

"Sigh, where did this devil come from? These people sure know how to scare themselves."

As Yang Xuan spoke, he subconsciously looked in the direction of the valley.

It didn't matter if he didn't look. When Yang Xuan's eyes fell on the valley entrance, his face suddenly froze.

There really was something at the valley entrance!

Yang Xuan borrowed the weak moonlight to see that there were indeed a few faint black shadows wriggling at the valley entrance.

Although they were too far away and the light was too dark, making it impossible to see their appearances clearly, he could still tell that the wriggling black shadows were in the shape of humans.

However, the only difference was that on the heads of those black shadows, something similar to cow horns could be faintly seen!

Could there really be demons in this world?

Yang Xuan frowned slightly.

However, he was not one of the cowardly herdsmen. He did not panic in the face of such a situation. Instead, he quickly got off his horse and walked behind a bush to observe carefully.

Under the dim moonlight, Yang Xuan saw that the wriggling black shadows were indeed living creatures, not plants that were hallucinating because of his eyesight.

Moreover, those few things were dark and had two bull-like things growing on their heads. They lined up at the entrance of the valley and walked at a very slow speed.

Under such an environment, such a scene was indeed frightening.

Yang Xuan frowned slightly. He had experienced many unimaginable things in his life and had seen many unbelievable strange creatures.

But this was the first time he had seen such a strange thing.

Was there really a devil in this world, or was it some kind of unknown strange creature?

The more Yang Xuan thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He suddenly realized that these strange creatures, other than the two bull-like things on their heads, why did they look so much like humans in other places?

Could it be that someone was playing tricks on them?

After pondering for a moment, Yang Xuan made up his mind. His figure was like a ghost as he silently moved towards the mouth of the valley from the side.

No matter what these things were, he had experienced so many strange things.

Even if there really were devils, Yang Xuan didn't mind exchanging a few blows with them.

Yang Xuan's movement technique was as fast as lightning. Although his speed was extremely fast, he did not make any sound. He did not alert anyone at all. In just a few blinks, he quietly arrived behind a bush less than ten meters away from the valley.

Although it was late at night, the moon tonight was not bad. At this distance, he could clearly see the scene in front of him.

When Yang Xuan saw this scene clearly, he could not help but laugh.

What kind of devil was this? It was clearly just a few people playing tricks on them.

These people were wearing a black cloak and a ferocious devil mask. The two horns on their heads were obviously decorative items.

However, why were these people pretending to be mysterious in the middle of the night?

Besides, according to what the herdsmen had said, it had not been a day or two. It had happened many years ago.

They were probably not a group of mental patients!

Yang Xuan pondered for a moment. Suddenly, he understood what was going on. He could not help but feel like laughing.

This was the northwest region of the Buddhist Kingdom of Kṣitigarbha. This was the place with the worst environment in the entire Buddhist Kingdom of Kṣitigarbha.

It wasn't an exaggeration to say that this place was cold and bitter.

Therefore, there were very few people here. Apart from a few herdsmen who had been here for generations, the people outside rarely came here.

Therefore, this place provided enough space for the Red Cloaked Cult and the other factions.

Although almost no one would come in here, in order to avoid some trouble, the people here spread the news outside, saying that this was the place where Buddha sealed the demons.

At the same time, they would send some people here every once in a while to play tricks.

The people here all believed in the saying of ghosts and gods, so they didn't think too much when they saw this scene. After a long time, everyone believed that there really were devils living here, so no one dared to go in again.

Yang Xuan picked up a stone from the ground casually. With a shake of his wrist, the egg-sized stone instantly shot in another direction with a swoosh.

When those people heard the sound of breaking through the air, they instinctively turned their heads.

Almost at the same time, Yang Xuan's body moved like a bolt of lightning. Like a ghost, he quickly flashed behind those people and entered the valley entrance.

Those few people were confused.

"What was that sound just now?"

"I don't know. Something seemed to have flown over."

"Strange, but I felt a shadow leap past me just now. Could it be that someone snuck in? This is a capital offense."

"What are you thinking? How is this possible? The entrance of the valley is only so big. I must be seeing things."

"That's right. Besides, with the way we dress, those herdsmen are usually scared to death when they see us. Who would dare to barge in?"

"Sigh, let's continue working. We'll be able to go back to sleep in an hour!"

Then, they lined up in a row again and slowly circled around the entrance of the valley in a very strange way.

If this scene was seen by others, they would be scared half to death on the spot.

Just as Yang Xuan had thought, the reason why these people dressed like this and pretended to be mysterious in the middle of the night was indeed to prevent anyone from breaking into the valley without permission.

This matter had to start from eight years ago.

Back then, there was no defense here, because whether it was the Red Shirt Sect or those outer sect powers, they were not kind people.

If someone went in, they would give up if they did not discover their secrets.

But if someone accidentally found out about their existence, they would not let those people leave alive.

However, there were exceptions to everything.

Even though these powers were powerful, they were not invincible in the end.

Roughly eight years ago, a group of young people came here. These people were all outdoor explorers from big cities.0

There were men and women among them. They made ample preparations to enter this harsh cold environment.

Then, they accidentally discovered some of the secrets here, and the people here did the same thing as before, killing this group of young people along the way.

They had already done this kind of thing many times, so they didn't feel anything. They directly dug a hole and hastily buried the corpses.

In this desolate and desolate land, it was very normal for a few people to go missing. Usually, the people who went missing here would be left unsettled.

However, that time was an exception!
