A group of people at the foot of the mountain.
Taking advantage of Yuan Hong's mountain climbing break.
They each found a shady place, took out dry food and water, and took the time to rest and replenish their physical strength.
Although it's only been a few days since the beginning of summer, the weather is already extremely hot.
Plus the high mountains and dense forests of Coffin Gorge.
Walking through it is like a steamer, and your clothes have already been soaked.
Only Chen Yulou and Feng Sibei were still thinking, walking back and forth along the canyon, trying to find more traces of the existence of Dixian Village.
Especially Feng Sibei.
Not to mention the generations of ancestors in his lineage, just talking about himself, he has spent most of his life looking for Dixian Village.
Now, finally, there is a glimmer of light.
How could he not be extremely excited?
After feeling exhausted, I wish I could climb the cliff with my bare hands now and see for myself whether the ancient cliff pointed by the Headless God is actually the entrance.
And the two of them were so serious, and they did gain something.
One.
According to what is said in the Dragon-Seeking Jue, Nagato must be suppressed. Now the hanging coffin structure of the god just happens to lock the wind, water and dragon energy in the canyon.
in addition.
According to the Xiling school's method of looking, hearing, asking, and observing mud marks to identify the color of grass.
The cliff where the white ape was was overgrown with grass, and pines, cypresses, and bamboos were growing out of the rocks. This was definitely not an ordinary sign.
Although there are plants and trees in other places on the cliff, it is especially so in that place.
I can only explain one point.
The place had been disturbed.
This situation is caused by traces of someone digging holes, accumulation of soil, and seeds carried by birds, animals and mountain winds.
But speculation is still speculation.
Now, the two of them can only wait for Yuan Hong to return with the news. When the time comes, they will be able to solve the problem without any attack.
"Taoist Priest, why don't you take a rest for a while... huh?"
Withdrawing his gaze from the hanging coffin, Chen Yulou glanced at Feng Sibei opposite him. After all, he was old. In addition, he lived in poverty in the mountains and was thin. He was worried that he might not be able to hold on for a long time, so he subconsciously thought of calling him back. rest.
but.
The words just came out.
Chen Yulou seemed to have noticed something.
A soft sigh followed by a helpless smile.
"It's so fast, it seems like I can't rest anymore."
"That's okay, as long as it's good news, I can still bear this fatigue."
While talking.
There was a rumble.
It came from the cliffs.
The group of people looked up and saw Yuan Hong in front. He looked like a falling meteorite. Using the dead trees and vines in the cracks and crevices, he had already passed several feet between the rise and fall.
Behind it, the Bashan ape also followed.
only.
No matter how you look at that spiritual face, there seems to be a bit of reluctance.
But the guy in front seemed to have a pair of eyes on the back of his head. Whenever it had the slightest idea of stopping or even turning around and running away, it would immediately notice it.
Thinking of the beatings I received before.
It can only suppress the reluctance.
Mentou followed behind and hurried down quickly.
After a short while, Yuan Hong landed on the ground first, rubbed his hands, and straightened his gown before walking up to Chen Yulou, bowing and clasping his fists.
"Master, people have been brought."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Chen Yulou nodded.
His eyes crossed it and fell on the white ape behind him.
Its arms were extremely long, hanging down by its sides, its head held up, its eyes full of vigilance and... resentment.
The moment you look at it.
His mind subconsciously recalled the scene when Pingshan first met Yuan Hong.
After being caught.
The same is true for Yuan Hong.
Uneasy, fearful, and pretentious.
When he looked at the white ape, Feng Sibei became more and more surprised.
It was only at this moment that he realized that he had still far underestimated Yuan Hong's spirituality. This was not only a deep understanding of human nature, but also clearly no different from other people.
"Why are you standing there, come and see the master."
Seeing that Bai Yuan didn't speak for a long time, Yuan Hong frowned, turned around and glanced at Bai Yuan.
The latter suddenly shivered with fright.
He stepped forward cautiously, imitating Yuan Hong's behavior just now, clasping his fists and bowing, but unfortunately... he couldn't speak.
after all.
It is a spiritual creature, not a monster.
Transforming a demon is extremely difficult, let alone refining a crossbone?
Without Yuan Hong and other opportunities, most monsters would never be able to reach the old turtle that landed on the island in their lifetime.
"Yes, quite spiritual."
"It's a pity that all the dragon vein earth energy here is sealed underground. Otherwise, with the help of spiritual fruits and herbs in the mountains, we might be able to go one step further."
Chen Yulou nodded and expressed appreciation.
How rare are natural spiritual creatures.
He knows it better than anyone else.
Although he has not been practicing for a long time, he is definitely one of the people in the world who has the most contact with monsters.
There are a few monsters around.
But the spiritual objects...are only Yuan Hong and Bai Ze.
The white ape in front of me is considered the third one.
"Yuan Hong, come and ask."
"It has been in Coffin Gorge for many years and must be very familiar with this place."
"Just ask it if it has ever seen a cave leading to the ground or a stone statue with a goat's head and a human body?"
This white ape has never enlightened.
It's quite troublesome to ask.
There is a high probability that the words will not convey the meaning.
But Yuan Hong is of the same race as it, so it shouldn't be a problem to communicate with it.
"Yes, Master."
Yuan Hong didn't waste any time. He walked up to Bai Yuan and spoke in a low voice.
It sounds like the roar of apes in the mountains.
But the white ape suddenly raised his head.
It is already afraid of Yuan Hong to its core. Although you can indeed feel a trace of the same kind of breath from its body, it is more due to the suppression of its bloodline strength.
Two apes, one asking and one answering.
After a long time.
Yuan Hongcai looked satisfied.
Although this guy is a little stubborn, he is much smarter than those guys in Monkey Cave.
"Master, it said that between the hundred steps of the bird path, there was a sealed stone door with countless murals on it. A few years ago, the dragon turned over in this area and opened a crack in the stone door. It had entered the cave once. It’s dark and deep inside, filled with stone people and beasts.”
"Hoo——"
After hearing what Yuan Hong said.
Chen Yulou and Feng Sibei couldn't help but look at each other, and both of them saw a hint of surprise in each other's expressions.
stone gate.
Cave.
Stone men and beasts.
All this shows that the entrance to Dixian Village they are looking for on this trip is most likely located on the cliff.
After all, it is clearly stated in Guanshan Zhimi Fu.
If you want to visit the earthly immortals, first look for the black sheep.
"Okay!"
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Yulou's eyes were full of joy. With the white ape leading the way, they didn't have to search back and forth in the maze-like bird paths.
"Is there a way out?"
"Did I hear correctly? There is news about the entrance so soon?"
"Shopkeeper, do you have any clues?" Hearing the commotion here, the group of people resting in the shade of the surrounding trees could no longer sit still and gathered around.
It's going to be dark now.
Although summer has already begun, in a deep mountain like Coffin Gorge and living near water, the temperature difference between day and night is huge.
As soon as the dew falls at night, it will not be a good thing to spend the night in this damn place.
Entering the tomb as early as possible is better than anything else.
"My ears are very good."
Chen Yulou glanced over, shook his head and smiled.
Then he pointed to the place on the ancient cliff where weeds were growing, "White Ape said, there is a stone gate there, and there are countless stone carvings standing in it. According to the inference of the Taoist Priest and I, it should be a remnant from the era of King Wuyang."
"It's getting dark, we can't delay any longer."
"Let's go, work harder, and try to go up the mountain in one breath."
With his words, everyone hesitated. They immediately dispersed and quickly packed up their luggage. Yuan Hong retrieved a water and fire stick, carried it behind him, and urged Bai Yuan.
Two apes opened the way ahead.
The crowd followed closely behind.
Following Bai Yuan, they discovered that there was an iron cable bridge across the river in the canyon. They didn't know the year it was built.
The wooden planks laying on the iron ropes have long since rotted.
It fell into the river below and was washed away completely.
Walk in it.
I could only feel my body swaying back and forth, the clanking of the iron chains mixed with the rapids of the river below, and the howling mountain wind outside. Even though the Partridge Whistle brothers and sisters were accustomed to seeing dangerous dangers, they were all cautious.
Bai Banla didn't dare to look down the whole time.
Holding the iron rope with both hands.
He gritted his teeth and moved forward.
Anyway, I was destined to die. If I really stepped on the air and fell, it would be God's destiny.
However, when he thought about it, the tens of meters of cable bridge seemed as far away as more than ten miles to him. After finally reaching the end, his clothes on his back were soaked with cold sweat.
There was no time to breathe a sigh of relief.
The white ape who led the way had quickly passed through the dense forest and appeared at the bottom of the cliff with a group of people.
This area has not been visited for an unknown period of time.
The grass is knee-deep, vines hang down from the cliff, and ancient trees are overgrown, making it impossible to stay.
Only Yuan Hong could hold a machete.
Trees were cut down along the road to clear up wasteland, and a path was forcibly carved out.
All the way to the bottom of the cliff.
Bai Yuan jumped up and plunged into the cliff in front of everyone's eyes. It was Yuan Hong who had quick eyes and quick hands who stepped forward to push aside the vines.
That's when they discovered it.
There is an ancient plank road hidden under the cliff.
It is about three to five people wide and more than two meters high. There are traces of knives and axes everywhere on the stone wall. You can also faintly see the marks of axles. Unfortunately, it has been abandoned for too long, and the ground is full of sand and weeds.
"Follow me!"
Chen Yulou's eyes lit up when he saw it.
Previously he was worried that the cliff would be difficult to reach.
Now it seems that the white ape is smarter than he thought. It did not go straight up and down as before, but walked on these volleying bird paths.
I don’t know how much easier it is than rock climbing.
The white ape seems to be tireless, its speed is astonishing, and it often disappears around the corner in the blink of an eye.
In other words, a group of people are extremely skilled.
Otherwise, I really wouldn’t be able to catch up with its back.
It wasn't until the sun set over the west mountain, and the clouds all over the sky slowly turned from fiery red to like ink, and the depths of the canyon turned pitch black, that the white ape finally stopped.
Squatting on a rock.
Squeaking at everyone.
"Master, the white ape has spoken."
Yuan Hong immediately translated its words.
Hearing this, everyone's faces showed joy. Walking on this kind of high-altitude plank road is a great test for the body and psychology.
A little careless.
One step in the wrong direction will lead to eternal disaster.
Even with Yang Fang's level of skill, cold sweat covered his forehead as he walked down the road.
Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Ignoring the cheers, Chen Yulou turned around and looked at the opposite side. Even though the sky was dim and there was almost no light, the golden light intertwined deep in his eyes and he could still clearly see the cliff.
A headless deity composed of a hanging coffin, pointing in the direction of the left hand's fingers.
This is indeed where they are now.
"Kunlun, give me the wind lantern."
He breathed a sigh of relief and stretched out his hand towards Kunlun.
The latter reacted immediately, took out a wind lantern from the bamboo basket behind him, handed it to Chen Yulou, and then took out a bundle of torches and lit them one by one.
soon.
On the bird path on the cliff shrouded in black mist, lights of fire floated.
From a distance, it looks like a fire dragon.
Chen Yulou held the wind lantern and stepped forward quickly, but when he passed by the white ape, he suddenly stopped and spread his palms. There were several bean-sized pills lying in his palms.
The whole body is jade, exuding a refreshing fragrance.
"Here, here it is for you."
The white ape was stunned on the spot, at a loss.
It was Yuan Hong who reacted first and slapped it on the head, "Why don't you thank the master quickly? These are rare elixirs that are hard to find."
White Ape was beaten so hard that he almost rolled off the stone.
But it didn't dare to get angry at all.
Instead, a pair of eyes were filled with joy.
Although Yuan Hong has a somewhat irritable personality, he actually took good care of it along the way. Bai Yuan knew it well, and now he mentioned the origin of those pills to himself invisibly.
How dare White Ape hesitate?
Jump down.
Jumped in front of Chen Yulou, holding the pills carefully in both hands.
"Don't be greedy. One pill every ten days. Three pills are enough for a month. I think it's Chen who leads the way and gives you a good fortune."
Chen Yulou smiled faintly.
While talking.
The man had already passed the white ape and walked straight towards the patch of grass and ancient trees in front of him.
"Remember."
"My master told me not to eat indiscriminately. Whether I can turn into a demon and enter the country depends on this opportunity."
Until Chen Yulou turned around.
Yuan Hongcai walked up to Bai Yuan and whispered.
The latter is still like a dream.
He just nodded subconsciously.
Just holding those pills in the palm of my hand and smelling them made me feel relaxed and refreshed.
Even though Bai Yuan had no experience, he understood that the pills in his hands were treasures.
Throw down a sentence.
Yuan Hong did not dare to delay and quickly chased after him.
Bai Yuan looked at the pills in his hand and swallowed secretly. In the end, he couldn't resist the temptation. When Yuan Hong left, he picked up one and swallowed it.
Boom——
As soon as the pill enters the abdomen.
A stream of heat melted away instantly and flowed all over the body along the veins of the limbs.
It just felt warm all over, as comfortable as finding a wild fruit when it was bathing in the sun in winter and extremely hungry.
Chen Yulou walks with a lantern.
A smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
How could the movement behind him be hidden from his ears and eyes? Yuan Hong seemed to really want to grab it. After all, if it weren't for him, it would have been just a wild monkey.
Now I finally bumped into a similar creature.
How can I bear to see it in a muddle-headed state, unable to wake up for the rest of its life?
As for those few pills, they are not Taoist Zhudan. They are just made from some spiritual herbs. They contain some spiritual energy, which is enough to cleanse the bones and cut the marrow.
As for whether it can break through the barrier in one go and transform into a demon and enter the country, it depends on its own destiny.
Thinking room.
The light of the wind lantern flickered.
A mottled and faded but clearly visible rock painting suddenly broke into his sight! (End of chapter)
