Chapter 104: Trespassing in the Back Mountain
Are all the people who remain in the underground ancient city dead? Xu Ning was terrified when he heard it.
I only heard Yan Bing continue: "This is also what I heard the elders of the clan talk about, but I have been there many times to steal the flower seeds of the colorful fairy orchid, and it is indeed full of bones, and I can't smell the sound of popularity." ”
She paused for a while, took out a yellow cloth bag from her arms, and carefully spread it out, sure enough, a few blue-green grass seeds appeared in front of Xu Ning's eyes, it must be a colorful fairy orchid.
"Why did you bring such a little bit back after you went all the way here?" Xu Ning was puzzled.
I saw Yan Bing frowning, and said aggrievedly: "I collected these flower seeds under the ground of that ancient city, and I was very tired for a while, and when I came out, I relaxed my vigilance, and I was discovered by those monsters that haunted in the dark. I was chased all the way, and before I knew it, the flower seeds in my bag were scattered. ”
After she finished whimpering, two large tears fell on the flower seed in her hand, which startled Xu Ning, thinking that this flower seed was really a life-threatening event for her or her people.
Xu Ning saw that her sad and sad appearance was really distressing, so she wiped the tears from her face with her hand and persuaded: "Don't cry so much, first tell me what monsters are hidden in that place." ”
Yan Bing choked and stopped her tears, and continued, "Those who chased me in the woods just now are. ”
Xu Ning laughed when he heard this: "I'll go with you after dawn, you can pick as many flower seeds as you want, I thought there were very powerful monsters hidden in the ancient city underground." ”
Yan Bing was also overjoyed when he heard this, and he burst into laughter, but after a while, he became sad again: "The underground ancient city really hides more powerful monsters, and those black shadow people and the blue devil just now are driven by the demon magician......"
Xu Ning's face froze, and he said, "What kind of powerful monster is the demon sorcerer you are talking about?"
"The demon master is also a human, it is said that he is a martial arts practitioner who fled from the Eastern Continent to the wild land, because he practiced the demon practice guide zhì went mad and lost his mind, and was chased and killed by the warriors in the Central Plains and fled there."
When Xu Ning heard this, a murderous aura rose in his heart in vain, and he couldn't help but stand up.
Yan Bing was startled by him and was stunned on the ground for a moment. Hearing this, Xu Ning said coldly: "After I pass Senior Brother Chen tomorrow, I will go to the underground ancient city with you to kill the demon and help you retrieve the flower seeds of the colorful fairy orchid." ”
Yan Bing was greatly moved, but she knew the sinister nature of that place, and she couldn't help but be apprehensive again: "Xu Ning...... Brother, that sorcerer is extremely powerful, and he can manipulate the souls of the dead, which is extremely terrifying. ”
"I said I would definitely help you, you just have to take me there tomorrow, it's up to me whether you live or die!" Xu Ning's words are categorical, his character is like this, there is no possibility of repentance as soon as the words come out, and he is now the guardian of the Demon Suppression Mountain Array, in his opinion, it is also his duty to kill the martial cultivators who have cultivated the art of demons and evil in the underground ancient city.
Yan Bing didn't dare to say more, but looking at the heroic Xu Ning in front of her, a large ripple had already appeared in her heart.
The night was already deep, and standing on the Yuxian Terrace, the moon that seemed to be within reach overhead had quietly disappeared.
Yan Bing also gradually fell asleep, Xu Ning took her to his secret room to rest, and he returned outside alone, and gradually fell asleep on the cold stone platform, in a daze, a woman's face appeared in his mind, and he finally fell asleep in tranquility and laughter.
It's just that he doesn't know.
At this time, at the top of Tongtian Peak, a poignant figure stood alone on the peak, staring in his direction, the corners of his skirt and long hair blown by the wind together.
……
Day 2.
When Yan Bing walked from the secret room to Yuxiantai, he found that it was already noon, and he didn't know if it was because he was too tired yesterday, or because he was very peaceful and quiet on this Gathering Spirit Peak.
Even the sunshine is so warm, and as far as the eye can see, it is all green, birds and flowers.
She flew down from the corridor to the council chamber, Xu Ning was already cooking lunch, and the stone cave was filled with the aroma of barbecue.
Xu Ning didn't look up, just turned the barbecue in his hand, and said, "I think you must have been very sleepy last night, so I couldn't bear to wake you up." You wait first, and you'll be fine right away. ”
Yan Bing's face turned red, and he said, "It's me who overslept." ”
After she said this, she looked around at the miscellaneous items piled up everywhere and began to clean them up, and in a short time the whole stone cave was much cleaner and tidy.
Xu Ning also slice the roasted meat separately, the two of them sat down and used it, and then came to the cliff outside the stone cave.
The Winged Hippogriff waited outside the cave, raised its head, and looked at the two of them. Xu Ning found that this big bird was much closer to him today, and Yan Bing seemed to be born to communicate with the animals here, so he walked up to the horned eagle beast and gently stroked its feathers with his hand, Xu Ning couldn't help but be surprised.
"I was almost pecked by it yesterday, and now I don't dare to get too close to it, how can you get close to it as soon as you come?" Xu Ning said with some jealousy.
Yan Bing said with a smile: "We, the Yan people and these birds and beasts, are born with a common mind, and we can communicate with our divine sense. ”
Xu Ningqi said: "What about the demon beast? Is it possible to tame them too? ”
Yan Bing shook his head: "That's impossible, otherwise there would be no need to move around and flee." The demon beasts have a violent aura in their bodies, even if the demon qi here is relatively thin, but those demon beasts are all alienated. ”
Xu Ning also felt that he was asking a bit of an idiot, smiled awkwardly, and remembered what happened last night: "How far is the underground ancient city from here, if you rush over now, can you reach it at night?" ”
Yan Bing shook his head and said, "Do you know the Barbarian King City? She thought to herself that Xu Ning had only been here for a few days, so she should have never been there.
Xu Ning gave her a positive answer, but he was not sure how far the distance from Juling Peak to Wangcheng was, and it was estimated that it was more than a thousand miles.
Yan Bing then said, "It will take two days to get to the Barbarian King City here......"
"All I need is one day." Xu Ning corrected in his heart, and saw that there was more smile on her face, and suddenly remembered that her body style must be inferior to herself, and she still wanted it in two days, so she stopped talking. Listening to Yan Bing, he continued to finish:
"Hundreds of miles to the west of the Savage King City, there is a very peculiar landform. Surrounded by mountains, it forms an isolated open area, like a huge lake that has dried up. The entrance to the underground city was on a rock wall inside. ”
Xu Ning was very curious when he heard this, and he already had an image in his mind.
"When are you leaving?" Xu Ning was a little impatient.
"Isn't Brother Chen Jin going to retreat and recuperate these days? Don't you have to guard here? Yan Bing also had an anxious look on her face, thinking of the danger that Xianmin Peak was facing now, she naturally couldn't wait to leave immediately.
Xu Ning also began to feel embarrassed, this martial arts cultivator can not eat water during retreat to improve his skills or recuperate from his illness, and he doesn't know when Chen Jin will stay in the back mountain this time before he can come out.
He paced anxiously outside the cave, he really couldn't think of any good way, and he promised Yan Bing to steal the colorful fairy orchid seeds, if he was a step late, if her people suffered any accidents, then he would be ashamed of her.
Yan Bing couldn't bear to see him irritable, but he couldn't think of a good way, and his eyebrows were tightly locked.
"That's it, I'll go to the back mountain and go directly to Senior Brother Chen." Xu Ning stomped his feet and said, "Your matter is extremely important, it is related to the fate of your clan, if you wait for him to go out of the customs to recuperate, I'm afraid it will be too late." ”
It is extremely strict for a person to go to interrupt the retreat to cultivate this rashly, and it is a great taboo for a cultivator, not to mention, Chen Jin has never let him set foot in the back mountain, so it is also a taboo to take the lead without the consent of the teacher, but the matter is already imminent, and there is no way to weigh it carefully.
As soon as the words came out, without waiting for Yan Bing to speak, Xu Ning walked directly from the other side of the cliff and walked directly towards the back mountain along the narrow ring road.
Bypassing the path carved into the rock face, a stone staircase up the hill appeared in front of it, and when you looked up, there were at least a few hundred steps. Xu Ning was in a hurry and ran directly into the air, and after a while, he went up to the top of the mountain and came to a stone pavilion, where the trees were even more luxuriant, and among the ancient trees and giant trees, he could even see some common pines and cypresses on Dongzhou.
What is even more peculiar is that when you get to this pavilion, there is no way ahead, only an iron cable connects to the opposite mountainside, the distance between the two peaks is a full 300 meters, and the connection is full of white clouds and unfathomable.
Xu Ning looked around left and right, and found that this was indeed the only path, presumably the back mountain that Senior Brother Chen said was undoubtedly ahead. So he didn't delay any longer, jumped up and jumped onto the iron cable, and swept forward like a cloud.
Halfway through the road, he could see from afar, and a red temple horn was exposed in the clouds. When he jumped to the ground, he found that it was indeed a temple, and he was amazed, and he didn't know how the materials used to build the house were sent to the mountain.
Stepping into the courtyard gate, I saw a familiar figure sitting cross-legged on the futon, it was Chen Jin.
Xu Ning was terrified, he was full of enthusiasm in front of him and could ignore it, but he was still uneasy when he saw his senior brother. He didn't dare to make a sound, but waited outside the hall, holding his breath for fear of disturbing Chen Jin.
"Senior Brother Xu, if you come uninvited, there must be something urgent, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Juling Peak doesn't have to be too rigid about those red tapes for you and me, let's say it. Chen Jin still sat in front of the hall and said softly, without any unpleasant feelings.
Xu Ning was a little relieved at this time, bowed down and saluted: "Please forgive my sin first, I didn't dare to trespass into the back mountain without permission and disturb my senior brother's cultivation, but I have something urgent to tell you, so I have to do this." ”
Xu Ning then told Yan Bing about going to the underground ancient city with him to obtain the Colorful Fairy Orchid.
Chen Jin seemed to have been silent for a long time, then stood up again, walked outside the hall, and said slowly: "This kind of thing is inconvenient for me Fengyuntang to interfere, but you and I are also destined for her. ”
Xu Ning was deeply moved when he heard this, and his originally worried face eased, and he said respectfully: "Senior Brother Xie is magnanimous, and I will also thank you instead of Miss Yan Bing." ”
Chen Jin just smiled, and when he was about to turn back, he heard Xu Ning say worriedly: "However, if I leave, Juling Peak will be unguarded in a few days, senior brother, you have to concentrate on cultivation, in case you ......"
Chen Jin said: "You don't have to worry about this, when I was alone in the past, I often left alone for a few days, although the deserted demon beasts here are strong, they will not have any intentions for this mountain, not to mention that after you leave, I can drive the magic circle to close this place." ”
When Xu Ning heard these words, his heart was completely relieved, so after saying goodbye, he returned to the entrance of the council hall along the way he came.
Yan Bing was still waiting beside the Sky Wing Horned Eagle Beast, and when he saw Xu Ning's excited expression, his mood suddenly brightened.
