Although now the Valley of Dust was no longer filled with turbulent dust, but the Kingdom did not think to build the dead city. It's all because there's too much blood in there. Countless victims there. The land in the Dust Valley is now uninhabitable before it is purified.
But according to the purification of the soil by the Taoist path, it takes decades. Decades to let go of all the curious souls that roam there. No one wants to live with a ghost. Especially with a ghost who has a grudge in his soul.
So the land was left empty. Some say that if one were to enter the Valley of Dust he would easily get lost. That was what made people ask about the success of Yi Hua and An to get out of the Dust Valley.
Well, it was Yi Hua who didn't want a big mouth. If he wanted to reveal all the secrets within the Dust Valley it would probably be finished after his listeners had three children. It was quite long and unique. And sometimes it doesn't make sense.
Coupled with Ling Xiao*'s whereabouts, this was only Yi Hua and An knew, living around the Dust Valley. It was because An said he was friends with Ling Xiao. Although Yi Hua could not see the value of 'friend' between the two of them. Even as Yi Hua remembered, An did not hesitate to throw war at Ling Xiao's head while joking. Well, their joking tastes may both be worse than the romantic stories of flying cow riders.
^^^*Ling Xiao is Yi Hua's senior as a fortune teller. He used to be a famous fortune teller in the Li Kingdom. Thus, the line of the throne was derived not from blood, but from the message of the Gods. The Royal Oracle predicts who gets the message of God, then will become the next King. But because of his_word_misprovement, Ling Xiao was banished from the Li Kingdom. Just to remind who knows to forget about Ling Xiao.^^^
From the story we already know that the Valley of Dust is very dangerous.
Then, how is the handsome General of female lovers but instead of this crocodile wants to invite Yi Hua to come there?
Yi Hua said to Xiao. "That's just like I'm a dangerous situation enthusiast. Anyway even if I get paid I won't go in there again. I was that good!" yi Hua's scolding in the heart.
Yet this General Wei Qionglin did not even give up the slightest bit of his gaze from Yi Hua. It makes the food feel uncomfortable. Yi Hua took a washcloth to clean her chopsticks again. After which, Yi Hua slipped the two chopsticks into the hair ties of Yi Hua.
It made Wei Qionglin raise next to his eyebrows. He had seen Yi Hua before in royal training. And, all Wei Qionglin could say about this fortune teller was that it was as weak as a withered stalk. Even so, Yi Hua's speech is sometimes very deviated from reality, which is elevated.
But when Wei Qionglin saw Yi Hua for the second time was when he saved her when she was kidnapped by Rong Mingyu. It was at a place somewhat close to the Dust Valley, and it was there that Wei Qionglin knew if Yi Hua had ever dealt with Shen Qibo.
Slowly he thought. "You don't look the same as you look" Wei Qionglin said rather loudly. He did not expect that he would say this to Yi Hua.
Yet Yi Hua coldly remained at his previous job. Saving his precious possessions, namely the only pair of chopsticks that Yi Hua had. He did not care about the smell of chicken meat that was still attached to the chopsticks.
"Sometimes you can't judge a person by his appearance, Mr. General. Although in appearance I am beautiful like a leaf that falls from the sky, but I am a man," Yi Hua said.
Wei Qionglin laughed easily. He had only heard of someone who could speak like Yi Hua. It was as if Yi Hua did not care about what he said.
"I mean you look more terrible than you look" said Wei Qionglin, who wanted to disturb Yi Hua.
Yi Hua waved his hand unconcernedly. In fact Yi Hua had heard even more severe scorn than this. "So, the point of our conversation today is that I disagree, General Wei. I am a holy creature who does not know the bad of the world. My penchant is to speak on the swaying grass to judge the fate of man. Outline, I am the Royal Astrologer, General Wei. What can a Royal Astrologer do in this rough work?" clearly Yi Hua was at length. Even he did not care if he made a local rain in front of Wei Qionglin.
"Like you it's endeared to bad energy. For some reason, any calamity or contact with the devil, you're always there. I assume that you can detect where there's bad energy from the devil." Wei Qionglin was as good as ever at speaking, as he often talked about war strategies.
It was because this poor Yi Hua had a demon furnace. Why does this guy even think of me as a disaster bearer?
It was not Yi Hua who came close to that bad energy. However, bad energy came to Yi Hua. It was all because every ghost and demon who came into contact with Yi Hua could sense the presence of power within Yi Hua. If only the demon furnace was not sealed, then this Yi Hua would only be able to live in the house. Confine yourself with all the amulets attached to the walls of the house.
That's if the ghost doesn't come to him.
"What if this is ..." Wei Qionglin started discussing again with Yi Hua.
THE TEP!
Yi Hua stared at the bag of money that Wei Qionglin had just thrown. Yi Hua's eyes briefly glanced at him, but he immediately threw away his face because he did not want to be interested. That's because the bag contains a lot of money that might be able to buy one calf.
He who is lacking funds is clearly tempted by the money.
However ...
"HuaHua, aren't you always looking for a way to 'suicide' with the elite. It was all for the demon furnace to be active. If you put yourself in death again, then you can get your memory pieces again" Xiao said.
After all it was Yi Hua's goal all along. He should be the one who loves death as much as possible. So that he will experience a moment of near death many times. I don't know until when.
But, ...
Do you know what it's like to be sick from death? Then, you will experience it many times without stopping.
Plus, Yi Hua was afraid of her own past. He was only afraid that one day he would regret knowing about the life he wanted to forget. Perhaps God knew the distress of his heart, thus disposing of all those memories as he was reborn.
That was what made Yi Hua not so bold to pry at his own memories. Especially with the pain like pricked needles that he always experienced. Not to mention the nightmares that made Yi Hua afraid to sleep.
Please ask Xiao how many times Yi Hua asked Xiao to tell him. It was all just so that he could distract all the nightmares. Then, he realized he had dreamed so much that he could not remember what he had dreamed.
Life like this ... It was better that she just be Yi Hua.
Even so, until when would he run away like a coward?
SRETT!
Yi Hua's hand stretched out to fumble the pouch. He knew that there were so many pieces of money in it. After confirming it, Yi Hua pulled the bag of money so that Wei Qionglin could not take it anymore.
"This is not because I am easily paid, General Wei. This is what is meant by appreciating the gifts of others," Yi Hua insisted as she put the allowance into her clothes. There Yi Hua slipped it into a belt. Hiding money.
Yi Hua did not even care about Xiao's words which somehow always called Yi Hua a money enthusiast.
If you know how hard it is to make money, then you will understand why I have to be wise in dealing with money!
Believe me, Yi Hua also actually did not understand what he said himself.
Wei Qionglin nodded quickly. "If you're afraid to deal with Shen Qibo, you can leave after we find him."
"You won't be able to win when fighting with her," Yi Hua said without thinking about Wei Qionglin's pride again.
From the very beginning Shen Qibo was a high-level demon. He was even included in the five feared sinners throughout the history of the Li Kingdom. So thinking about fighting Shen Qibo was like imagining a cow that could fly. It is like giving up life. Even Yi Hua had seen Yue Yan slamming here and there while fighting Shen Qibo.
However, this man immediately responded with seducing eyes. "Is Yi Hua worried about me?"
"I'm more worried about half my pay you can't pay anymore when you're dead. Remember this is only half," Yi Hua said without responsibility.
Wei Qionglin sighed before explaining. "My first job as a General was about the massacre in the Valley of Dust. That time ... I really can't do anything. There was nothing I could do but look at the corpses. I can't help anyone, and they can't live anymore. If anyone can be blamed, it's because we came late. Maybe there's one or two people who can still live."
Yi Hua actually did not want to hear that pitiful story. Although it was a part of the past, but for Wei Qionglin it was a failure. Yi Hua could not blame her, but the trauma of seeing corpses scattered might be even more frightening for Wei Qionglin to talk about.
Wei Qionglin's face clearly showed hatred towards Shen Qibo. "If man could get rid of the remaining sinners, then the world wouldn't be so bad anymore."
"You blame the demons too much in this regard, General Wei. Whose future knows, but even if the demons do not exist, not necessarily this world is safe" explained Yi Hua who stood up from his seat.
He had to deliver Wei Qionglin to the Dust Valley. Then, after that he went home after meeting Shen Qibo. That's definitely not his business anymore.
BRACKET!
"Are you also going to cross the Valley of Dust?" The small, crisp sound made Yi Hua shift her focus to the side of the table.
There was a boy with sparkling eyes who was staring at Yi Hua. However, as a result of the voice of this little boy, the attention was all on Yi Hua. Especially when everyone in the restaurant heard this kid say about heading towards the Valley of Dust.
It must be in their eyes that Yi Hua was now on a death-seeking prank.
Yi Hua twisted the little boy's body to stare in a different direction. "Nothing, son! Don't bother busy people like me. You'd better go home, and disturb the village girl. It's wiser to do."
SRETT
Yet the boy remained agile twisting his body to look at Yi Hua. "We will also head to the Valley of Dust. Father and Uncle will go there tomorrow."
Whahuh? Why do humans not doubt the Valley of Dust? It is possible that the Valley of Dust has lost its haunted value due to being talked about for too long in history. It's like you're not afraid of anything mystical anymore, when you're used to seeing and hearing something mystical.
"Hey, Pingin. What are you talking to the general and his friend about?" A middle-aged man came to approach this boy.
The boy replied, Uncle paid his respects to General Wei Qionglin. Of course because everyone could recognize this figure from a distance. Especially with Wei Qionglin's title as a General.
"Pardon my son for interfering with General Wei's work" said the old man, who still paid his respects.
Wei Qionglin stood up to avenge that reverence. "I'm not at work, sir. However, I heard that this boy was talking about the journey to the Valley of Dust."
The old Uncle's face immediately panicked. However, the kingdom also ordered the people to stay away from the Valley of Dust. However, they clearly wanted to head to the Valley of Dust.
The old uncle immediately knelt down to ask for the humility of this great General. However, if this comes to the kingdom, they will be punished. It made the little boy called Ping become frightened as well.
Yi Hua sighed while closing his head. He did not want anyone to recognize his face. "General Wei simply asked. You don't have to be afraid, sir."
After all, this fellow was also in violation of the royal order. Even he worked out of his duties without royal permission.
"We're going through the Valley of Dust to make the journey not so far away. We are merchants, and we obviously don't want our time to be wasted just on the journey" the old uncle explained in a hurry.
Yi Hua understood it.
In the past, when they left with Liu Xingsheng, they also chose to penetrate the dangerous Dust Valley. Because, another way to the city after the Valley of Dust will be very far again. If they pass through the Valley of Dust, it is not until half a day that they will reach the next city.
Yi Hua clapped his hands for some reason. Maybe because he was lacking. "If you die from entering the Valley of Dust, then you will have the fastest way to ascend to the sky without having to become a God," said Yi Hua who was used to talking circus.
The old uncle lowered his head. Still in the same position, because Old Uncle must be very afraid to stand now. "After all this time we had a guide. He said, if there's this guide, he'll choose the safest road in the Valley of Dust."
The driver?
Honestly it was only this time that Yi Hua found out about it. He shifted his gaze Wei Qionglin, and obviously the man also looked surprised. Because, there is no expert or no expert in crossing the Valley of Dust.
In addition to the large amount of dust, although now not as bad as before, the road in the Valley of Dust is quite strange. Sometimes it also makes people will be misled if fooled by dust-covered roads.
Back then they were able to cross the Dust Valley safely due to An's great ability. The man's eyes were somehow very focused and precise. Plus Huan Ran is also quite a reminder.
However, this driver ... Yi Hua clearly just found out.
"He said that he had lived in the Dust Valley city once. So that he understood the intricacies so well," said the Old Uncle again.
About that ...
"Xiao, is this guide Yue Yan?" yi Hua asked inwardly. Only Yue Yan the townspeople were not killed by Shen Qibo.
But since when can the vengeful man be a guide? Does he want to switch jobs? It wasn't that Yue Yan just wanted to search about Shen Qibo and kill the man?
However before Yi Hua got an answer from Xiao, someone immediately appeared into the restaurant. It was a man that Yi Hua was completely unfamiliar with. She was not Yue Yan.
