I work as a cook in Xuanmen

Chapter 54 The Valley of the Sleeping God

Although the roadside shop is not big, there are many monks coming and going. Probably because the boss is a good person, no one has done anything disruptive in the shop.

Lize and I sat down at the tea shop.

Lize poured me a cup of hot water.

I called Heng Yue out again.

Heng Yue came out, but with anger on his face.

"Hey, little fox, what's wrong with you?" I teased him.

Heng Yue seemed unhappy that I teased him like this.

Frowning, "Forget it, just suffocate me to death, seal me in a spiritual pet bag, and I can't get out."

Ah!
"This is an injustice to me. I also said that you have been holding yourself back for the past few days and have not come out to hang out." I shouted that I was wronged.

Heng Yue's suspicious eyes glanced at me, then turned to Lize who was drinking tea calmly.

Lize raised his eyes and stared at him.

Heng Yue pursed his lips and said, "Maybe I made a mistake."

When he looked at Lize, there was fear and dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"Oh, it's okay, you're out now, aren't you? I'll let you out for some air every day." I comforted the fox.

Not long after, a pair of monks came next door.

We are discussing the Tianquan Sect leader's departure from seclusion and the mission to hunt monster beasts.

One of them seemed to be bold and careful, "Who would believe that an ordinary monster can cost hundreds of dollars to be a high-quality one?"

The others nodded, "I was told that I was learning the art of controlling animals."

"Is it not that you don't know how to practice the inner elixir of monsters?"

When the other people heard this, they all stopped talking.

One of them, who was probably unreasonable, asked innocently, "Isn't the practice of inner elixir the practice of demon cultivators?"

"Hey, let's not talk about other people's affairs. Tianquan Sect is such a big sect, so naturally it can afford hundreds of high-quality monster inner elixirs." Another monk changed the subject.

Several people shouted for tea again, and after resting for a while, they went up the mountain together.

I stopped the boss and said, "Where is this place?"

"This is not far from the back mountain of Tianquanmen. There are many monsters in the mountain, but there are too many powerful monsters. It is best not to go there if there are few people." The boss is a loyal man. Seeing that there were only two of us, he advised .

He probably also heard the conversation between those people just now.

"No, thank you boss."

After pushing the boss away, I asked Lize, "Do you think there is anything wrong with Tianquan Sect Master?"

Lize smiled and said, "I don't know. If you want to explore, I will accompany you. If you want to continue to Tianquanmen, I will accompany you."

"I'm just curious. It was Zeng Ling's suggestion to come to Tianquanmen. When I came, I met a demon cultivator, and Zeng Ling got into trouble again, so..."

I looked at him and smiled mysteriously, "What exactly is Zeng Ling's purpose?"

"What do you think?" Lize asked me.

"I think..." I propped up my elbows and flicked my forehead with my fingers, "Since she tried so hard to invite me, her target is naturally me."

Don't blame me for doubting Zeng Ling's intentions.

She and I are not really friendly, we have been enemies since we met.

And everything I have, she wants to keep it for herself.

Although I don't want to offend her, in her heart, she probably feels that I have been targeting her.

Although I have always been committed to being kind to others, many friends lead to many paths.

But Zeng Ling’s personality made it impossible for me to become friends with her.

Lize said seriously, "Whether her goal is you or something else, I will not let her get her wish."

"It's okay, I'm just worried that with her temperament, she will inevitably give birth to inner demons in the future and become a scourge." I said worriedly.

"We'll talk about the future later. Now that you know her motives are impure, stay away from her." Lize advised.

I was confident, "Comparing my cultivation with hers, I am naturally not afraid of her schemes."

Lize was still worried, "I'm just afraid that I'm doing it mentally but not intentionally."

I waved my hand nonchalantly, "Don't be afraid, I will pay attention."

After ending this topic, Lize and I left the roadside shop.

Heng Yue jumped down and ran ahead along the mountain road.

The mountain behind Tianquanmen is actually still far away. We walked through three mountains and forests with lush vegetation, and then we saw the defensive barrier of Tianquanmen from a distance.

Lize pointed at Tianquanmen and said to me, "What they say is that there are monsters in the mountains behind Tianquanmen. They are talking about the Sleeping God Valley in front."

"Sleepy God Valley?"

I was confused, "Just from the name, you know it should have an inhibitory effect on spiritual power and other spells, right?"

Lize nodded, "The Great Luo Jinxian entered the Sleeping God Valley, just like ordinary people. The most terrifying thing is that there are many monsters and beasts inside."

"Then let's not go to the Valley of the Gods!" I said worriedly.

"No, let's go." Lize said firmly.

"But……"

If Sleeping God Valley is so dangerous, there is no need for us to go there!

Why take the risk?

"Although Sleeping God Valley can suppress spiritual power, it is a blessed place for physical training monks." Lize added.

"No, what I mean is that we just came to see Zeng Ling. There is no need to take risks." I was anxious. I have never seen anyone more stubborn than Lize.

"Her purpose is unknown. Sleeping God Valley is the home ground of the Tianquan Sect. I want to go in first to explore the truth and take precautions in advance." Lize's attitude was firm, and it was useless no matter what I said.

Until now, the news about Chu Zhou's return is that Zeng Ling has not been found.

Even if we are not afraid of the Zeng family causing trouble, we can't escape her involvement even if Zeng Ling disappeared when she visited Xuanqingmen.

So Sleepy God Valley really has to go.

Therefore, I will no longer persuade Lize to give up entering the Valley of the Sleeping God.

"If that's the case, then it's up to you!"

The prerequisite for entering the Sleeping God Valley is that the spiritual power is controlled, and all monks who enter will be like ordinary people.

What makes monks more powerful than ordinary people is that every time they advance in spiritual power, their bodies will be cleansed and marrowed.

So even though he is not a monk who specializes in physical training, his body is still very strong.

We put away things we didn’t need and put cumbersome items into the Qiankun bag.

I took out my magic weapon, a snow-white sword with an emerald inlaid on the hilt, and the blade glowed with green light.

This is the first time I hold Xianyun Sword in my hand.

Lize seemed to be quite curious about my magic weapon.

Stared for a long time.

I handed the Xianyun Sword to him, "This is made of the best materials that Master found."

"It's a pity that such a good material can be forged by a forging master, and it will be an immortal magic weapon!" Li Ze reached out and took my Xianyun Sword, tutting with pity on his face.

"This is forged by Master. It's very good. I like it very much." Although it is not a top-level magic weapon, I cherish Master's thoughtfulness.

The little fox swayed from side to side.

I lifted him back and squatted at my feet.

"When there is a chance in the future, I will ask Yu Xian to reforge it for you!"

After finishing speaking, I thought of the Emei thorn he gave me, "You should use the Emei thorn first today!"

Lize seemed to regret that such good material was wasted, and looked over it for a long time.

"My uncle has been in seclusion for hundreds of years and has never come out. My master can't bear to disturb his breakthrough, so let's forget it!" I took back the Xianyun Sword.

"I'm still not comfortable with the Emei Thorn. I'll wait until I have time to practice."

Lize didn't force it either.

It seems more dangerous for the little fox to enter the Sleepy God Valley. After all, it is like an ordinary puppy after entering and has no ability to protect itself.

"Heng Yue, please go first and stay in the spiritual pet bag!" I lifted him up and discussed with him.

"No, I don't want to be held in."

I picked up the skin of his neck and shook it, "It's OK if you don't want to. I won't have the energy to take care of you once you get in."

Li Ze covered his mouth to clear his cough, and a low laughter reached my ears.

The fuzz on Heng Yue's cheeks turned pink visibly to the naked eye.

"I don't need you to take care of me. Let me go. I am a fox with independent personality. Don't mention me like a dog." Heng Yue seemed to be offended and said angrily.

"You are quite arrogant. Even if you become a human, you are also my spiritual pet." I shook him twice more, ignored his objections, threw him into the spiritual pet bag, and sealed the bag with my backhand.
