After dinner, they rested for a while, and at eight o'clock, Jin Cheng and Guan Fang set off on time.

The car drove out of the county seat, along the county highway to the south, half an hour later turned into a small road, this is a country dirt road, thousands of ravines, the road condition is extremely poor, fortunately the car performance is superior, full of power, after more than 20 minutes of bumps, the car came to a small mountain village.

The bright headlights and the roar of the engine attracted the attention of several earth dogs, who persevered and barked after the car, and the residents who had already fallen asleep turned on their lights one after another, and some even stuck their heads out to look around, and then quickly retracted.

The car finally stopped at the gate of the village, and the manager seemed to know the old man who was guarding the door, and threw two packs of cigarettes to the old man, who smiled and promised to take good care of the car and not let the tortoise paws of the children in the village touch the car.

The two of them each carried a backpack that had been prepared long ago and went up the mountain along the path behind them. The old man didn't seem to be surprised by this, Jin Cheng guessed that it should be that the management party had been here many times and often went up the mountain, and the old man was used to it.

From the narration of the manager, Jin Cheng learned that this mountain range is called Mahayana Mountain, the mountain is steep, the peaks are numerous, and it is an undeveloped primeval forest. After walking along the sheep intestine path for an hour, there was no trace of the road anymore, and the more you walked inside, the more rugged it became, and then it was almost jumping up and down on boulders, climbing up and down, and even climbing a few cliffs that were not too high.

Such a place is said to be people, even animals are scarce, after walking for two hours, the management party proposed to rest, Jin Cheng agreed.

"Brother Jin, starting from here, the road behind is more difficult to walk, you have to climb over two dangerous peaks to reach the destination, people say that there is a road from ancient Huashan, but the mountain road here is more than Huashan, we rest here for a while, replenish the body, and strive to rush to the destination in one go." Guan Fang lit a cigarette, lay on a boulder and looked up at the starry sky and said.

"Guests are whatever they want, they all listen to your arrangement, big brother, what is the origin of the name of this Mahayana Mountain?" Jin Cheng sat on the ground, let go of his divine sense and checked the surrounding area within eight hundred meters, the mountains were full of boulders exposed on the surface, and there was very little vegetation, not to mention strange flowers and plants. But Jin Cheng knew that after the cultivators cultivated, a very small number of monks would reach a realm called the Mahayana period, and the masters of this realm could destroy a planet with a single move.

"There's a legend about it, it's very mysterious, if you want to hear it, I'll tell it." Guan Fang pondered for a moment and said.

"Let's just listen to the story." Jin Cheng said with a chuckle.

"Okay, then I'll just babble." Guan Fang sat up, took a puff of cigarette, and said slowly: "About two thousand years ago, this mountain range was called Beicheng Mountain, and a sect of cultivating immortals appeared in this mountain range, maybe this sect of cultivating immortals has existed for many years, but the world has not known it, and the reason why they are known to the world is that there is an immortal cultivator who has risen here during the day, causing a vision of heaven and earth, causing a huge sensation. Later, the reputation of this sect spread all over the country, and many people came to apprentice, but they could not find the specific location of this sect. Later, people learned that the name of this ascended immortal cultivator was Zhao Mahayana, so people renamed this mountain range Mahayana Mountain. ”

"Oh, I see." Jin Cheng was a little disappointed, and then calmed down, since there is such a legend, it is not necessarily groundless, the more difficult it is to reach the place, the more likely it is to hide some unknown secrets, such as cultivating the Immortal Cave Mansion or even the Immortal Mountain.

"Our ancestors also discovered that secret realm in the process of searching for the relics of immortal cultivators, but unfortunately, in addition to being dangerous and abnormal, the secret realm has nothing to do with the fairy realm, so it is more appropriate to call it 'Dead Land' and 'Desperate Valley'." Guan Fang said with a wry smile.

Jin Cheng was noncommittal and did not express his opinion, it was too difficult for ordinary people to investigate the hiding place of the cultivators, unless the cultivators were unguarded.

The next trip can be described as difficult, Jin Cheng's skills don't matter, the management is almost both hands and feet, and some sections have to use ropes or other climbing tools to get started.

As the terrain became steeper and steeper, Jin Cheng found some body refining medicinal materials in the cracks of the stone wall, and he followed him leisurely, taking the sheep by the hand and not returning empty-handed.

"Brother Jin, just below this cliff is the destination." Guan Fang wiped the sweat from his forehead, pointed to the bottomless cliff in front of him, and said with a little excitement.

"Oh, I'll see." Jin Cheng walked to the edge of the cliff, took a strong flashlight and shone it downward, and at the same time released his divine sense and probed down.

The height of the cliff was about a little more than 400 meters, and it was very strange that his divine sense could not clearly detect the whole picture of the valley below the cliff, and could only clearly explore a small area near the cliff wall, and the rest of the place was white and impenetrable.

Formation?

Jin Cheng first thought of an explanation, the formation could shield the detection of divine sense. Another possibility is that there are special substances in the valley that shield the divine consciousness, which is extremely unlikely, because the substances that can shield the divine consciousness are extremely precious refining materials, and it is impossible to store them in a large area. The area of the valley below the cliff was huge, and after the eighth level of qi refining, his divine sense detection radius expanded to two thousand hundred meters, and he actually failed to detect the end, which means that a large formation was likely to be set up below. Thinking of this, Jin Cheng's heart began to beat wildly, his blood pressure rose, and a bewitching flush appeared on his cheeks, and the whole person was in a state of excitement, fortunately, it was in the dark night, and he turned his back to Guan Fang, and Guan Fang did not notice Jin Cheng's strange appearance.

No wonder Jin Cheng was excited, if it was a large formation, it must have been left by a cultivator, there was no doubt about it. And the larger the scale of the formation, it means that the cultivation of the formation mage who arranges the formation is higher, at least he thinks that with his current cultivation of the first-level formation mage, he can't arrange the formation with the huge area today. Extrapolating in this way, then this is likely to be the location of the Immortal Cultivation Sect, which covers a huge area.

Because most of the scattered cultivators choose the cave house, this is common sense, only a large number of sects will take over the entire mountain, or even multiple peaks. And on the periphery of these peaks, hidden formations and mountain protection arrays will be set up to prevent ordinary people from breaking in.

Jin Cheng couldn't wait to go down to confirm his guess, and as soon as the manager fixed the rope on a boulder, Jin Cheng picked up the rope and hung it on his body, hurriedly prepared, and went down first.
