The sky was bright, Chu Zhen and the others had breakfast, bought some supplies, and continued on the road, preparing to climb Tieji Mountain.

Walking to the entrance of the town, Chu Jianghe unexpectedly appeared here. He stared at Chu Zhen who walked slowly over, his eyes full of expectation.

Glimpsing Chu Jianghe's figure from a distance, Chu Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression was instantly cold. He looked ahead, as if he didn't see it, and walked quietly past Chu Jianghe.

Chu Zhen passed by, and Chu Jianghe's last expectation was disappointed, making his face shrouded in disappointment.

Chu Jianghe let out a sigh of relief, and when he came to this point, he didn't blame Chu Zhen, but blamed himself for being too greedy at the beginning, so he ended up in such a field.

After walking about ten steps, Chu Zhen suddenly stopped, took out a money bag from his arms, and then threw it back, and the money bag accurately landed in the empty bowl in Chu Jianghe's hand.

"Find a place to retire yourself. ”

Throwing down a cold word, Chu Zhen didn't stop any longer, and walked forward quickly.

Chu Jianghe stared at the nearly 100 gold coins in the bowl, and tears couldn't help but roll in his eyes, such a large sum of money, even the previous Chu family couldn't easily take it out.

"Chu Zhen, I hope you can rebuild the Chu family in the future. ”

Chu Jianghe whispered, lowered his head and turned his back to the others, and slowly left.

Half an hour had passed, Chu Zhen and the others had already gone away, and Chu Jianghe had also walked out of Tieji Town with an old and weak pace.

"Hey, old thing, hand over what's in your arms. ”

Suddenly, a cruel laugh sounded, and three ruffian-looking men jumped out from both sides of the road and stopped in front of Chu Jianghe.

Chu Jianghe was startled, took two steps back in fear, and said tremblingly: "Something, what is it? I, an old beggar, can I have anything." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I saw it in the alley just now, you have a heavy bag in your arms, take it out obediently, don't force our brothers to do it. ”

One of the big men scolded impatiently, and was about to come up and grab it.

Chu Jianghe retreated again and again in horror, trying to protect the money bag in his arms. But his inner yuan has been destroyed, and his cultivation has been lost, but he is just an old man who is about to die, and he is still reluctant to walk, and where can he have the strength to protect himself.

Chu Jianghe begged: "I beg you, my old man really doesn't have anything." ”

"I still lie to Lao Tzu, it's really shameless. ”

With a loud scolding, Dahan kicked Chu Jianghe to the ground, and then went up to tear his clothes.

The money given by Chu Zhen was Chu Jianghe's only hope for the rest of his life, and he held on to his clothes and sacrificed his life to protect the money bag.

"Old thing, give Lao Tzu to die. ”

Seeing that Chu Jianghe was so ignorant of current affairs, the other two immediately stepped forward and beat him severely, until the corners of Chu Jianghe's mouth kept bleeding.

"Please, beg, no, can't......"

Chu Jianghe fell to the ground, his hands still in front of his chest, he pleaded weakly, but in exchange for a more severe beating.

It didn't take long for Chu Jianghe to spread motionless on the ground, leaving only a slight breath.

Seeing that Chu Jianghe was no longer struggling, the three big men spat on him disdainfully, then lifted his shirt and easily took out the money bag hidden inside.

"You old thing, you waste a lot of Lao Tzu's strength, you are really looking for death. ”

Before leaving, one of them didn't care about Chu Jianghe's life or death, and kicked two more feet.

Happiness comes and goes faster, Chu Zhen gave Chu Jianghe a chance to live, but he was careless, turned into a fatal murder machine, and the situation changed so quickly, Chu Jianghe never thought of it anyway.

Chu Jianghe opened his eyes with difficulty, and watched the three figures gradually blur, taking away his hope and life.

Suddenly, Chu Jianghe finally closed his eyes forever.

Chu Jianghe's death, Chu Zhen didn't know, and he didn't care, in his eyes, whether it was for the Chu family or Chu Jianghe, he had done his best, and the rest was their own life.

On the other side, Chu Zhen and the others left Tieji Town and plunged headlong into Tieji Mountain.

When you climb Iron Ridge Mountain, you will find that the mountain is full of coniferous forests, and even wild grasses, many of which have prickly leaves.

In the eyes of the locals, Iron Ridge Mountain is a treasure mountain. Don't look at the fact that there are so many needles that can cut through the skin, but the people in the mountains rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and the people of Iron Ridge Town still run up the mountains all year round. This mountain is rich in resources, including wild fruits used to make wine, herbs for refining pills, and even a few expensive vegetarian reishi mushrooms can be found occasionally. Of course, all of this refers to the front of Ironridge Mountain, and for its backside, as the shopkeeper said, no one in Ironridge knows about it.

Soon after going up the mountain, Chu Zhen and the others met many ordinary people with bamboo baskets on their backs. These people are all residents of Iron Ridge Town, and they rushed to the mountain in order to pick some better herbs and wild fruits to make their lives better.

Looking at these people who worked hard day and night, Chu Zhen couldn't help but sigh, in this world, cultivators fought for status and power, and ordinary people ran around for their livelihoods.

On the way, Chu Zhen and the others encountered a lot of herbs and wild fruits, and even saw the vegetarian Lingzhi, but each of them tacitly chose to turn a blind eye, for them, these things are not of much value, so they might as well leave them to useful people.

After about half a day, Chu Zhen and the others finally reached the top of Tieji Mountain, which was like a sharp knife.

If you look around from here, you will find that Iron Ridge Mountain is exactly what its name suggests. A tall, pointed spine stretched for miles, as if the mountain had been forced to open the top.

The most attention-grabbing place here is the rumored back of Iron Ridge Mountain. It's just that when you look down from here, you can only see the lush mountain forest covering the entire mountain, and there is nothing strange about it.

"It's like a valley. ”

At this time, the sharp-eyed Long Yixuan frowned and discovered the special features of the mountains and forests.

Everyone looked for prestige, only to see that the mountain forest at the col was suddenly low-lying, and the appearance of the valley was faintly visible.

"That's right, it's a valley. ”

After a closer look, it can be concluded that there is indeed a valley there.

"This place can be called a forbidden place, there must be something that can take people's lives, everyone should be careful. ”

"Good. ”

According to the shopkeeper, behind this Iron Ridge Mountain is a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones, and there is no need for Chu Zhen to say more, they are also careless.

"Then let's go. ”

Waving his hand forward, Chu Zhen took the lead.

And Long Yixuan and the others also followed closely behind this unknown Iron Ridge Mountain.

The back mountain is also a coniferous forest, but it is a little colder, as if something is about to erupt between the ridges.
