It is also strange that he did not think carefully enough, although Changbai Mountain is also a tourist attraction, but tourists will not enter the mountain from Gemu Town at all, and the local residents will naturally not be idle to climb the mountain and play, and there will naturally be no corresponding specialty stores here.

Therefore, Su Qiubai had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and bought things that could replace mountaineering tools, such as iron pickaxes, hammers, hemp ropes, iron hooks and other things, which looked like things used by ancient mountaineers.

And when he finished buying these things and was ready to buy another car, he was even more shocked. Originally, he thought that the backward Chengdu here was similar to Qingzhou City, but at this time, it seems that this place is not as good as Qingzhou!

Because there is no place to sell cars here, there are no vans!

What can I do now? Although it is not difficult to walk over, it consumes a lot of body and time, but if you don't walk over, why not go by bicycle? He himself was nothing, but when he thought of Dongfang Rui, an ancient old man, still riding a bicycle into the mountain, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

Fortunately, he finally saw a lot of people riding motorcycles on the road, and suddenly found a new means of transportation.

So his transportation was downgraded from a van to a motorcycle, and the next time he went to a more backward place, he might have to switch to a bicycle.

Riding a newly bought motorcycle and carrying a bunch of tools that were very strange to assemble, Su Qiubai finally returned to the hotel. When Dongfang Rui saw what he was holding in his hand, he couldn't help but laugh and asked, "This is the mountaineering tool you bought?" Although my old man is old, he also knows that young people nowadays have special tools for mountaineering. ”

Su Qiubai replied helplessly: "It's good to have these, I really overestimate this place, not to mention the special mountaineering tools, it's already good to be able to buy these." I reckon you'll be shocked to see the transport I bought. ”

Dongfang Rui asked curiously, "What did you buy?" You can't buy a tractor, can you? ”

Su Qiubai smiled and said, "Even if I buy a tractor, I have to be able to drive!" ”

The next morning, the two went out with their bunch of nondescript tools.

Dongfang Rui sat on the back seat of Su Qiubai's motorcycle, his face was blown by the wind, and he couldn't help asking: "You said you bought a motorcycle, let's just walk into the mountain!" ”

Su Qiubai shouted loudly against the wind: "I have inquired, there are still more than ten kilometers from Gemu Town into the mountain, and it will take a lot of time to walk over, and it will consume the body, which is not cost-effective!" ”

Of course, these Dongfang Rui knew, but in this mid-autumn season, the temperature in Gemu Town was already very low, and it was really uncomfortable to go against the wind at such a fast speed.

Knowing that it was useless to talk about these things, Dongfang Rui had no choice but to secretly use his true qi and protect his body tightly, which made him feel better.

Under Dongfang Rui's guidance, the two soon came to the foot of a low peak on the branch of Changbai Mountain, Su Qiubai glanced forward and asked, "There is no road into the mountain here, are you sure it is here?" ”

Dongfang Rui nodded, walked forward directly, and said, "Of course, otherwise how can it be called a shortcut?" The location of Taiyi Gate is on the branch of the Changbai Mountains, which is inaccessible and the climate is bitterly cold, so you can't get there by taking an ordinary path. This road is also known only to a few people, so it is relatively safe. ”

Su Qiubai didn't doubt him originally, so he had no choice but to follow. At this time, the road was quite easy to walk, so the two of them walked very briskly, and it didn't take long for them to enter the deep mountains.

The luggage of the two was all carried by Su Qiubai alone, and Dongfang Rui walked leisurely in front like a tourist watching the scenery.

Although the climate of Changbai Mountain is not good, it is far worse than the original Kunlun Mountain. Therefore, this kind of Cheng dù is like a spring outing for Su Qiubai, and it is completely effortless.

Dongfang Rui's cultivation is not low, although he is an old man, he still walks like a fly, no matter how rugged and difficult the mountain road is.

When night was over, they lit a fire on the spot, ate a little food, and slept in the open field.

Fortunately, both of them have true qi to protect their bodies, and the cold in the mountains is not enough to affect them, so it doesn't matter if the conditions are bad.

Although it was a shortcut, it wasn't until three days later that Dongfang Rui told Su Qiubai that they were about to enter the sphere of influence of Taiyimen.

"In addition to martial arts, Taiyi Sect is also proficient in mechanical arts, and from here on, it is very likely that you will encounter the traps they have laid, so we have to be careful." Dongfang Rui reminded.

Su Qiubai also cheered up when he heard this, carefully paying attention to the surrounding situation with his divine sense, and slowed down his speed and walked forward slowly.

When they came to a valley, Su Qiubai suddenly stopped and said, "Uncle Cousin, look at the road ahead, is there anything wrong?" ”

Dongfang Rui glanced into the depths of the valley and frowned, "When I left this road, there was no mechanism, but now I don't know it. But even if there is a mechanism, it cannot be seen with the naked eye. What, what did you find wrong? ”

Su Qiubai shook his head and said, "Not yet, I just think this valley is too suitable for setting traps." But the qiē here seems too normal, which is a bit unusual. ”

Dongfang Rui nodded approvingly and said, "It makes sense, let's be careful." ”

Su Qiubai took two steps forward, leaned over and picked up a fist-sized stone and threw it into the valley, but saw that the stone fell to the ground unharmed, and rolled out a long way, still without triggering any mechanism, so he walked forward cautiously.

Su Qiubai used his divine sense to probe the surrounding environment as he walked, and until he walked into the depths of the valley, he didn't find any signs of mechanism.

"Am I wrong? It does look safe here. Su Qiubai muttered in a low voice.

But after walking a few steps, Dongfang Rui suddenly stopped and shouted: "It's not good, the middle organ is in the middle, go back the way you came!" ”

Although Su Qiubai didn't know what was going on, seeing Dongfang Rui's nervous expression, he couldn't help but follow the path he used to go back and forth.

Soon they realized that it was too late, for a white mist suddenly began to rise all around the valley, and they didn't have to think about it to know that there was something strange in the fog.

When the two saw the white fog, they began to subconsciously hold their breath, Su Qiubai wanted to hold his breath and run all the way out of the valley, but when he saw Dongfang Rui suddenly lying on the ground, he immediately thought that he had been poisoned by the fog, and was just about to lean over to check his situation, when he saw him gesturing towards him, signaling him to lie down as well.

Su Qiubai's reaction was extremely fast, and when he saw Dongfang Rui's gesture, he lay on the ground according to his appearance, and then he found that there was no fog within a foot above the ground.

Seeing Su Qiubai lying down, Dongfang Rui turned his head to him and said, "Just now I only paid attention to mechanisms such as hidden arrows, but I forgot about this secret technique of Taiyi Gate. This mechanism is called the Forgetting Array, the white mist is not poisonous, but it has a hallucinogenic effect, once the body comes into contact with it, it will fall into an illusion and cannot extricate itself. This array is to use some delicate and imperceptible small spirit stones as a mechanism, once a living person enters the range of the mechanism, the mechanism will be triggered, and when we go to the depths of the forgetting array, the white mist will be released. ”

Su Qiubai carefully confirmed that his skin did not have any contact with the white mist before asking, "So, from the moment we stepped into the valley just now, the mechanism was triggered?" ”

Dongfang Rui nodded and said, "Yes, I was careless, I haven't been back for many years, and I even forgot about this." Fortunately, this mechanism is not difficult to crack, but you have to find a way to return to the entrance of the valley first, and then clear those spirit stone mechanisms one by one. ”

Su Qiubai asked strangely, "Why bother so much?" If you can go back to the entrance, you can also go to the exit, so why make an extra trip? ”

Dongfang Rui glared at him and said, "If you want to go back, you have to stick to the ground and crawl forward, we know that there are no other mechanisms in the first half of the journey, but what about the second half?" If they have set up other mechanisms, how can they dodge lying on the ground? ”

Su Qiubai thought about it for a while, and said: "Since this is the case, then let me break the mechanism, you are always waiting for me here." ”

After all, the distance of this half of the valley is not too short, and it is still a bit difficult for Dongfang Rui to crawl forward and climb so far.

Dongfang Rui nodded when he heard this, told him in detail the location of the spirit stone, and told him how to crack it, so he let him go back.

Su Qiubai didn't train this action a lot when he was training in the army, so he got up very fast, and walked half a distance after a while.

He carefully watched the amplitude of his movements along the way to make sure that his body did not have any contact with the white mist.

When he was halfway up, a small snake with a green body sprang out of nowhere, opened its mouth and pounced on him. Su Qiubai immediately sensed that it was a highly poisonous bamboo leaf green, and if it was bitten by this bite, it would not be a good thing in the current environment. Thinking of this, Su Qiubai subconsciously dodged, and then slapped the poisonous snake to death on the ground with his backhand.

Although he dodged the attack of the poisonous snake, he caused most of his head to fall into the white mist, and he also took a large gulp. Although he immediately lowered his head again, it was too late.

The speed at which this white mist took effect was amazing, and he only took such a mouthful, and in a trance, the surrounding environment had already changed.

Although he was also trapped in the white fog just now, there was no fog above a foot on the ground, and the surrounding scenery could be seen clearly. But at this moment, there was nothing but fog in front of him, and the original white fog had also become gray and full of ominous aura.

Since he was already in the illusion realm, Su Qiubai simply stood up and raised his hand to take a look, but found that at such a close distance, his hand could not see clearly, and the visibility in this fog was probably not even half a meter.
