Zituo Mountain, which sounds like a piece of, looks like several lumps.

Many martial arts people who came to watch the battle couldn't help but be a little slanderous after learning the name of this mountain.

When the two peerless masters standing on the top of the rivers and lakes are in a decisive battle, even if they don't choose a full moon night, the top of the Forbidden City and other places that make people think about it, they should choose some famous mountains and rivers and beautiful scenery.

But standing in Songxue Village and looking at the mountain, except for the snow-covered places, there were blood-red traces everywhere, like a few pieces of bloody pulled out by a few women after coming to their aunt!

It's really a sight to behold.

The sky was slightly bright, and groups of Jianghu rangers gathered together to discuss the decisive location, saying that the location of the two was too arbitrary.

As for those ascetic cultivators in the Great Snow Mountain, they were still expressionless dead faces, and when they came to them, they would cherish words like gold, and even a trace of superfluous expressions would be indebted.

For them, it's all a competition anyway, where is it not a fight?

It makes no difference whether they fight on a mountain that looks like blood, or on the top of the Forbidden City on a full moon night, and they are not here to enjoy the scenery.

Last night, I spent the night in the village, and many people learned about the evil on this mountain from the mouths of the villagers, but whether it was those rangers or the ascetics from the Great Snow Mountain, they didn't care about it at all.

Hehe, ghost.

If ghosts are really as terrible as people say, how can they die?

The most terrible thing in the world is not the living!

Jiang Ning and the blacksmith originally wanted to leave Shen Bing and Shen Ling in the stone house, but the two sisters refused to agree, and then the two of them summed it up, and they both felt that the villagers in this village were not fuel-efficient lamps, and it was not necessarily safe to leave them in the village, so it was better to take them with them.

Jiang Ning took Shen Bing with him, and the blacksmith took Shen Ling with him.

In this way, the four of them mingled in the crowd of ascetics and rangers, and went up the mountain with light skills.

There are also many trees on the mountain that can be borrowed, Jiang Ning took Shen Bing to leap between the trees, and his movements were already much more skillful than the first time.

Even during the day, the blood that can occasionally be seen at the foot of the mountain has melted the marks of the snow, and it still looks a little creepy.

If you get a little closer, you can even smell the strong pungent smell of blood, and Shen Bing, who has a small nose, is very sensitive to these smells, otherwise he would not complain to Jiang Ning about the bad smell of the freshly dried wolf skin in the cave.

As Jiang Ning walked closer and closer to the mixture of blood and snow, the girl couldn't help pinching her pink nose and using her mouth to breathe.

Even Jiang Ning, who was used to seeing dead people and had killed many people with his own hands, the strong smell of blood made him frown.

Jiang Ning put Shen Bing in the clearing under the tree first, and he flew up, crossed a large section of snow, and came back to the side of the mountain rock that had just bled out.

Bending down, he stretched out his fingers in the puddle and still bubbling white

I dipped the blood bubbling out of the cracks in the rocks, put it on the tip of my nose and sniffed it, and a knowing smile appeared on my face.

Flying back to the girl and holding her again, Jiang Ning was about to prepare to continue up the mountain.

Shen Bing had long been accustomed to Jiang Ning's strange actions, every time this man showed such a smile, it meant that he had made a new discovery, and the girl in wolf skin asked curiously at the moment, "What did you find?"

Jiang Ning put the little bit of blood red on his finger that had not been erased against the tip of the girl's nose, and said with a smile: "Your nose is not very smart, don't you know it by smelling it yourself?"

"Hmph!", the girl snorted lightly, and glanced at Jiang Ning with some dissatisfaction.

If she smells it with her heart, she can naturally get a lot of information from it, but these smells make her very uncomfortable, and even if she smells it slightly, the pungent smell almost makes her vomit.

knew that he didn't like these tastes, but he refused to tell her directly, no wonder Shen Bing was dissatisfied with Jiang Ning's behavior.

It's just that since Jiang Ning asked her to sniff, she also sniffed patiently.

"It's not human blood!" the girl's eyes flashed brightly, and she repeated excitedly again, "It's not human blood at all!"

Jiang Ning smiled, twisted a small ball of snow to wipe the blood stains on his fingers, and said calmly: "Some of the people who disappeared in Songxue Village are really dead, but some may still be alive now!"

The girl's eyes lit up when she heard this, probably thinking of the girl who was sacrificed because she had escaped, but soon the excitement in her eyes dimmed, she restrained her smile, turned her head away, and said calmly: "Those have nothing to do with me." ”

Jiang Ning didn't refute it, the life or death of those people had nothing to do with the girl in front of him.

Holding the girl, Jiang Ning threw out the hook in his hand and continued to walk towards the mountain.

About halfway up the mountain, there was more blood and water coming out of the cracks in the rocks, but when the distance was closer, the line of sight became clearer, and everyone easily discovered a problem.

The blood on this mountainside is not even blood!

This time, it didn't even take Jiang Ning to get too close, Shen Bing had already smelled the essence of the blood and water.

"That's rust water!" The girl pointed to the blood on the mountainside, and said with some surprise: "Our family is made of iron, this smell is very familiar, these dark red water are impurities extracted from iron ore, if you only look at it at the foot of the mountain, it is indeed the same as the blood on the mountain, and it can't be distinguished at all!"

"Oh, I see. Jiang Ning smiled, and when he looked up, he happened to meet the meaningful gaze of the blacksmith walking in front, Jiang Ning smiled and nodded, indicating that he already knew.

The whole thing has come to this point, and all the pieces on the chessboard have been placed.

This piece involves rivers and lakes, temples, gods and ghosts, conspiracies, and the time span is also an extremely long picture scroll, and at this moment, it is already as complete as a picture

The picture scroll is generally presented in front of Jiang Ning's eyes.

"Ice Field, Ice Field," Jiang Ning chuckled and said, "The east side of the Ice Field, isn't it the East China Sea?"

The blacksmith had already appeared by Jiang Ning's side with Shen Ling at some point, and just when he heard his words, his eyes were full of undisguised admiration, and he said with a smile: "The ice field is winter all year round, which creates an illusion, making people mistakenly think that the sea area east of the ice field is also a frozen ice sea, which is impassable for ships, and it is too difficult and dangerous to transport heavy objects such as iron tools on the ice that does not know the depth. ”

"In fact," said the blacksmith with a smile, "everyone in the Cedar Plains knows that the sea between the Ice Field and the Night Country is frozen, and in spring and summer, there is a cold current that moves south from the north, and the sea surface freezes in the autumn and winter, but in autumn and winter, there is a warm current that flows from the warm sea in the south, and at this time, the sea does not freeze there!"

When Jiang Ning heard this, he became more and more sure of his guess, and said like a dumb riddle: "So, that person is already on the ice field now?"

"That's right!" the blacksmith laughed, "but no matter how good she is, this time, she won't be able to leave!"

Jiang Ning said: "It seems that you are very well prepared!"

The blacksmith's voice trembled slightly, and he smiled: "Many of us have waited for half our lives just to wait for this time to close the net, and this time, no matter what, they will not be allowed to escape. ”

After a pause, the blacksmith continued, "I won't let those who die lose their lives in vain!"

"Let's go," Jiang Ning smiled and broke Fang Cai's somewhat heavy atmosphere, and said, "There is still a competition on the mountain, although I think we have just gone up to estimate that the duel is over, but let's go up and have a look, in case the female devil encounters any trouble, it is better to help." ”

The blacksmith nodded, the four of them stopped talking, and in a few ups and downs, they had already risen to a height of dozens of zhang.

Due to Jiang Ning's delay for a moment in the middle of the road, the first group of ascetics had already arrived close to the mountain, and the sound of clanging swords and swords came from the belly of the mountain at their feet.

There were too many people from the rivers and lakes this time, and soon someone found a secret door to enter the mountainside behind a big stone, and a group of children from the rivers and lakes rushed in.

...

The belly of the mountain is hollow, the snow is deep outside, and it is extremely cold, but the inside is like a big stove, and those who have been trekking in the wind and snow for a long time walk in as if they have walked from winter to summer, and the comfortable comfort only lasts for a moment before turning into a dull heat.

The heat is mixed with the strong smell of rust and blood, and the interior of the mountain's belly presents a spiraling hollow loop.

On the winding roads inside these mountains, there were hundreds of corpses lying horizontally and vertically, and some of them were still alive, all of them hid in dimly lit corners, and they did not dare to come out, for fear that they would be discovered.

And in the hollow belly of the mountain, in a well-lit place, a man and a woman, a white cloth, a red cloth, a sword and a knife are fiercely clashing at a speed that is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye in the air full of pungent smell.

Blood oozed from the corners of the mouth of the female demon in red, and after realizing a new kendo realm from Jiang Ning's swordsmanship, Zhuang Ying always felt that she would win the battle with Sun Hao, but the result was still the same as many years ago, and she only fought equally.

The man in white had messy hair, and the scarlet and a piece of hair were all cut off by the scarlet shadow in Zhuang Ying's hand.

With a blow parting, Sun Hao stopped the sword in his hand, combed his somewhat messy hair slightly, and his gentle gaze fell on the body of the female demon in red, and said with a smile: "Since before, we have always been evenly matched, this time, I thought we would defeat you, so I hid and didn't go to the appointment, but now that I think about it, I think too highly of myself!"

"Sun Hao!" Zhuang Ying silently called out this familiar name, his expression was a little complicated, and there were thousands of words in his chest, but only three words blurted out: "You have changed." ”

The man's eyes were still gentle, but his calm voice revealed incomparable determination: "Yes, I have changed. ”
