Chapter 613 The annoying place (asking for double monthly tickets)
The Minggu Mountain does not have a fixed and unified entrance. Except for a few strange and dangerous places, you can enter anywhere.
It is a fairly open and dangerous place.
However, although there is no prohibitive formation that prohibits practitioners from entering from all sides, the risks involved in different directions and different areas in the vast edge area are also completely different.
It is true that the degree of danger in this dangerous place increases as you go deeper from the edge.
But those who come here to explore are mostly ordinary practitioners who can only operate on the edges and peripheries. Their ability to resist risks is too low.
Some of the dangers in the edge areas are fatal to them, so the way they enter the Hades Mountain is actually very limited, and there are not many choices.
After generations of practitioners have explored the Minggu Mountain, they have also found several relatively safe paths into the mountain.
The practitioners will not be harmed by inexplicable dangers as soon as they enter the mountain and die on the spot.
With the strength of Zhou Qing's five people, it is not a big problem to enter the mountain in any direction.
But the location of the temple that will be born this time is in the direction of a fixed path. It will be closer if you enter from there.
As the five people approached the Minggu Sacred Mountain, the surrounding area became more and more lively. Pavilions and pavilions, people coming and going, actually formed a small market.
“This is the small city of Baizu, named after the Baizu Road in front of it.”
Shi Yi said: “It is said that the person who first discovered this safe path was named Baizu. He died, so he named this road after him to show his gratitude.”
Tianjiao practitioners will not be troubled by the location of entering the mountain, but before a safe path is found out, for practitioners like casual cultivators, the first step every time they explore the Minggu Mountain is an adventure.
So it is something like exploring a safe path, no matter what his purpose is, but judging from the help this result will help future generations, this is indeed worthy of praise.
“Brother Shi?”
Suddenly, someone walked up to them.
Zhou Qing looked around and saw that the person speaking was a young man in rich clothes, and there were three other people beside him.
Zhou Qing didn't know this young man, but Guan Shiyi's look suggested that he was a familiar person.
Shi Yi nodded, "It turns out to be Brother Qing."
The young man surnamed Qing looked at Zhou Qing again and said:
"I have met all the senior sisters and brothers."
Shi Yi promptly introduced: "This is Qingyang, a disciple of the Qing family in Chengwang County, who practices in the Northern Saint Sect."
Zhou Qing and the others nodded towards Qingyang.
The Northern Saint Sect is a first-class force in Hanzhou and has a long heritage.
Qingyang said again: "Brother Shi is planning to enter the Minggu Mountain? But for the Minggu Temple that is about to be born?"
With the news that a temple is about to be born, Shi Yi can You know, of course you can't hide it from other people. Since you know each other, it's not too abrupt to ask such a question.
The omen of the birth of the temple is not small.
"I really want to take a look."
Hearing this, Qingyang couldn't help but smile helplessly.
“With everyone taking action, it seems that our trip to the Hades Temple is destined to return empty-handed.”
“Brother Qing is too modest.”
"I won't bother you, Brother Shi."
Qingyang and others said goodbye and left. After they disappeared, Shi Yi further explained:
"The Qing family of Chengwang County is a family with several masters from the Underworld realm. The Qing family and the Northern Saint Sect The relationship between them is very close. There was once a generation of Qing family head who was a senior brother with that generation of Northern Saint sect leader. Brother, to this day, both sides are advancing and retreating together.”
“Na Qingyang once came to Minggu County when the Shi family and the Ming family held joint activities, and I met him at that time.”
Shi Yi's background is extraordinary. He is a direct disciple of the Shi family, a local family in Minggu County.
He was able to observe from far away in Xuandu and also learned the information about the ancient sacred mountain, which was related to this.
Zhou Qing and others already understand this.
Lu Yuanyuan sighed with emotion, "There are really a lot of people who come to this Hades Temple."
"Such a temple that has signs before birth is indeed better than those temples that suddenly appear. It will be more troublesome, and more people will come after hearing the news, so prepare in advance."
Who wouldn't want it after the news spreads?
Unlike those temples that appear suddenly, most of the time when the news spreads, the temple disappears because it has been explored.
Although forces like the Northern Saint Sect are not as good as Xuanduguan, their disciples are not weak and can be considered opponents.
If you despise these talented disciples of first-rate forces because of their origins, you will suffer a big loss.
Passing through this small white city, you can meet people from one side who are also preparing to explore the temple. These are just the ones they know, some they don’t know, and some they haven’t met, there must be more.
You can know the whole thing at a glance. You can imagine how fierce the competition will be when you get to the Hades Temple.
Zhou Qing nodded and said: "There are so many masters. There will definitely be a battle between dragons and tigers."
Then he looked at his team and said with a smile:
"Fortunately, my partners are also masters. Each of them is a real dragon and a divine tiger."
A few people They laughed, as if Murong Yanran and Shi Yi didn't know Zhou Qing very well, they found Zhou Qing even more interesting at this moment.
The five of them did not need to supply supplies in Baizu Small Market, so after passing through the interlude of Beisheng Sect Qingyang, they passed directly through the small market and entered Baizu Road.
During this process, some people tried to talk to them, even from different backgrounds
This is a wide area between two high mountains, winding forward and finally disappearing between the mountains.
At a certain location, there is a clear dividing line, which is a scene caused by the dark clouds overhead.
Behind a crooked line, the sun was falling, and everything was normal. In front of the line, it immediately became dark, and every drop of sunlight was missing.
The dark clouds have always shrouded the sacred mountain and have never dispersed. For a long time, all the sunlight in the sacred mountain area has been swallowed up by the dark clouds.
When Zhou Qing crossed that line, he felt cold.
This is not a cold temperature, but more like the coldness that the atmosphere here brings to people's hearts.
Zhou Qing frowned slightly and looked at the area in front of him that had no light at all.
Ao Xuanwei was next to him and noticed something strange about him. He turned his head and asked:
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know why, this ancient sacred mountain It always gives me an uncomfortable feeling.”
Zhou Qing replied: "Last time I went to Hanyunbiefu, when I returned to Xuandu to watch, I came here to watch it from a distance, and I had a similar feeling."
"Now that I set foot here, this The uncomfortable feeling became stronger."
Murong Yanran and the others looked at each other. Eyes, then Lu Yuanyuan said:
"I have been here several times, but I don't feel like you do. It's just a little darker, and there is no other impact."
"Junior Brother Zhou, this Is this feeling serious? Why not leave first? ”
Zhou Qing thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No need to leave."
"My state has not been affected, I just feel psychologically uncomfortable. It seems that... I don't like it here very much."
< br>Shi Yi said:
“It’s gloomy here, and normal people will definitely not like it.”
Zhou Qing smiled, “Then this shows that I am still a normal person. .”
Ao Xuanwei looked at Zhou Qing, "If there is anything wrong, you must say it in time. Don't underestimate this feeling."
The other three people also nodded.
They did not ignore Zhou Qing's feelings, and did not think that Zhou Qing was nagging and looking for trouble.
Because everyone is a practitioner with a high level of cultivation, the inexplicable feeling like this after coming to such a dangerous place may more likely represent a kind of aura, a manifestation of intuition.
No one will ignore the intuitive reaction of a talented person like Zhou Qing. Sometimes the intuition of a practitioner is the most accurate and goes straight to the essence.
It's fine if you don't need it, but once it's useful, it might be the key.
Zhou Qing suddenly felt like this. Although he couldn't explain it clearly, it made Murong Yanran and the others subconsciously vigilant.
To some extent, this is not a bad thing.
As we travel along, the road begins to narrow from wide to narrow.
Zhou Qing was relatively silent, thinking about his special feeling.
This feeling appeared twice, and he didn't think it was his illusion, so it must be that he really didn't like this place.
Zhou Qing carefully sensed, investigated, and searched, trying to find the source of this feeling. Finally, he found...
This uncomfortable and unpleasant feeling seems to be related to Haoran Qi. ?
Zhou Qing looked up at the sky. It was covered with dark clouds and there was no sunlight. It was gloomy and gloomy.
In a place like this, it is easy for evil spirits to breed and conflict with the aura of awe-inspiring people, but that is not impossible.
After thinking for a while and finding nothing else, Zhou Qing suppressed these things in his heart. This feeling has no effect on him, and his strength can still be fully displayed.
Just like when you see a person for the first time, you don’t like him very much, but his presence will not have too much influence on you.
After regaining consciousness, Zhou Qing joined Lu Yuanyuan and the others in their communication.
Although they are not lax, the Minggu Mountain in this area does not pose a threat to them, and they can be more relaxed.
In the process of going deep into the Baizu Road, some practitioners did not go straight forward, but chose to go to both sides, and finally disappeared into the mountains and forests.
In this ancient sacred mountain, every place can be explored. As for whether there is any harvest, it depends on luck.
“The most common monster in the Minggu Sacred Mountain is the ghost spirit.”
Shi Yi said: “These are special creatures that only exist in the Minggu Sacred Mountain. They are like ghosts, but In essence, it is not a ghost, but a special spirit body, wandering in the ancient sacred mountain. , eager to devour life. "
"After killing this kind of ghost, you will get a treasure called the ghost crystal, which contains a relatively unique and pure Yin attribute. There are many uses, and there are forces in various small markets outside who are purchasing them.”
Ming Ling and Ming Crystal are the goals of most practitioners entering the Ming Ancient Mountain.
In casual cultivators, this is a valuable resource that can be exchanged for something useful to oneself.
"In addition to ghosts, there is no shortage of ghosts, zombies, wild beasts and other creatures in the ancient sacred mountain."
Shi Yi continued: "Not just beasts, there are many here Plants are dangerous too, and there are golems too!”
< br>"There are puppets hiding in many places in the ancient sacred mountain. They cannot be found at first and are forbidden to hide. But once someone passes by them, the puppets seem to be activated and will appear directly to attack people passing by. .”
Zhou Qing listened quietly and kept these in mind.
Shi Yi mainly introduced it to him.
“Actually, these things are not the most dangerous things in the Ancient God Mountain. The most dangerous thing here is the environment here.”
“Restricted formations and some special areas are the most dangerous things. The most bizarre and dangerous one."
"Yes." Murong Yanran nodded:
"Be sure to be careful of the Ancient Divine Forbidden City and the environment here. As long as some of the restraints are touched, an irresistible force will immediately burst out and people will be strangled."
Some edge areas are impassable. , it is impossible to enter the Holy Mountain Death Land from there, precisely because of the existence of formation restrictions.
That is the most terrifying danger in the Minggu Mountain.
Living enemies can be dealt with, but those restrictions are too unpredictable and difficult to understand, so one must be extremely careful.
In ancient times, before safe paths such as Baizu Road were explored, no one knew whether entering the sacred mountain from a certain place would trigger a ban as soon as they moved their feet.
The meaning of a safe path does not mean that there are few monsters on this road, but that there are no killing restrictions and dangerous special environments.
Ao Xuanwei looked around and whispered, "The restrictions here are very magical. Even if a master who is proficient in this method breaks them this time, they will gradually be restored in the future."
"So as long as there are places where formations are prohibited, it will never be safe, and even some places where there are no prohibitions in the first place will be safe. Where there are restrictions, new restrictions will be derived as time goes by. "
"In this ancient sacred mountain, even if there is a map, you must be careful when walking according to the map."
< br>During the exchange, Zhou Qing and the others had walked far away, then changed direction and walked up a mountain peak.
The thorns here are dense and extremely sharp, but fortunately there are vague paths opened by predecessors.
The five of them used their true energy or soul power to protect their bodies and passed through the thorns. When they reached this position, no one could be seen around them.
When you first set foot on the White Pawn Road, there will be people walking with you, but if you go deeper and meet people on the road again, you need to be wary.
It’s just that, as Zhou Qing and the other five are walking here, they should be wary of others.
Two of the top ten true successors of Xuandu, one is a disciple of the Dragon Palace who is comparable to this level, and two are top twenty true successors...
Even the evil cultivator who hated Xuandu to the core would be frightened and avoid it when he saw such a lineup.
“Is this the ancient restriction?”
Zhou Qing stopped and looked at a place ten meters away on the right.
The thorns there are entangled together, and there are luminous lines on the thorns, which are connected and coordinated, and operate according to the rules of the formation.
Those formation patterns only exist in part, and after reaching a certain position, they stop abruptly, break directly, and are incomplete.
But it is indeed powerful and has unknown effects.
"Yes, this kind of restriction is relatively easy to deal with, because it is conspicuous, just be careful to avoid it."
Shi Yi nodded, "And some restrictions are very secretive. . ”
“Chi!”
As he spoke, something suddenly rushed over, silently, and only made a sound when it approached Zhou Qing and the others.
But in an instant, the thing rushing over was frozen and unable to move in the air.
Zhou Qing turned around and saw that the thing that attacked them was a few thorns.
The sharp points on their bodies are writhing, and there are features like eyes at the head, just like several stinging poisonous snakes.
The person who took action to restrain them was Ao Xuanwei who was closest to them.
Zhou Qing looked at these thorns, "This should be considered a demon, right?"
Zhou Qing raised his hand and shot out a burst of true energy, which was extremely sharp and cut off the thorns directly, bringing them back.
“This thorn itself can be regarded as a kind of weapon refining material, but the grade is not very high.”
Lu Yuanyuan smiled and said: “For most practitioners, it is also considered a piece of equipment. Harvest.”
This is the meaning of exploring dangerous places like the Minggu Mountain.
Resources that require a lot of effort and running around outside can be obtained quickly by venturing into dangerous areas, and you can also hone yourself. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
This thorn mountain is full of dangers. The thorns look like dead things. From time to time, a few demon thorns will appear to attack you.
It’s just... Zhou Qing really wanted them to stop coming.
Aren’t you just giving away people’s heads!
It's a pity that good words can't persuade the damn ghost.
After crossing the Thorny Mountain, the road behind is a little smoother, and it is actually paved with neat stone slabs. This is definitely not natural, it must be man-made.
In fact, there are many such man-made traces in the Minggu Sacred Mountain, so many people suspect that there should be people living here in ancient times.
On both sides of this stone road, there are statues.
Some of these statues have green faces and fangs, holding three-pronged forks in their hands, some are weird-looking beasts, such as three-headed dogs and thousand-eyed snakes, and some are covered in armor. Humanoid statue with eyes.
They stare at the middle of the road, as if they are watching everyone passing by.
“Stuck!”
When Zhou Qing and the others were halfway there, there was a sudden sound of stones breaking, and then they saw the stone skins on the five stone statues falling off, revealing black bodies that seemed to be made of some unknown stone.
The heads of these five stone statues turned their heads and looked at Zhou Qing and the others, with a faint light shining in their eyes.
Shi Yi frowned, "Through this area, sometimes these stone statues will riot, and sometimes they won't. No one knows the reason behind it. I didn't expect that we would meet."
"Luckily. Very good.”
These living stone statues, some in human form and some in animal form, broke away from their original positions and rushed towards them, the air roaring and their strength like knives.
However, Zhou Qing did not feel threatened by them. They were at the level of ordinary marrow cleansing realm. Such strength was really average in front of Zhou Qing and the others.
“Bang!”
It was only Zhou Qing and Shi Yi who took action, and after a few breaths, the heads of the five stone statues were blown to pieces.
But the strange thing is that these stone statues can still move even though their heads are missing.
So Zhou and Qing had no choice but to be even more brutal, breaking their entire bodies into pieces.
It was quiet now.
“This kind of stone is pretty good, and there are people buying it in small markets outside.”
Zhou Qing sighed with emotion, “It seems like the Minggu Mountain is really full of treasures. , whether it is moving or not, it may have value and be a good thing.”
“Huh?”
At this time, Zhou Qing felt a sense of peeping. The others did the same, looking to the right.
On the shoulder of a humanoid stone statue there, a face without facial features appeared at some point.
Although there are no facial features, everyone clearly knows that the strange creature is "looking" at them.
The next second, the breeze blew by, and the faceless creature disappeared.
But Zhou Qing only felt a chill behind him, and he turned his head...
That face without facial features was right in front of him!
