Yun Chi asked Gu Yan to stay in the Tibetan Sword Villa for a few days, and agreed to leave in seven days, Gu Yan was not polite, and borrowed the key in the Sword Pavilion from Yun Chi to go through the classics about kendo in the Tibetan Sword Villa. The Jianzhen method she learned was originally obtained from a sword trick in the Sword Pavilion, and this time she visited her hometown again, although she did not have the familiar strange old man as a companion, but she still gained a lot, but she wanted to enter the sword pool again, but was politely rejected by Yunchi. It's just that now, including Mo Li, Ye Yunting, Su Man Arrow and others, they are all looking for opportunities in the sword washing pool, so it is really inconvenient for others to enter. Yun Chi promised her that after Su Man's arrow was married, he would invite her to swim in the sword washing pool again.

Gu Yan smiled slightly, knowing that Yun Chi's words were seven points true, but there were also three points of shirking, and he didn't answer. Seven days later, Yun Chi explained the affairs of the Hidden Sword Villa, and asked Xuanguang to temporarily take charge of the affairs of the sect, and Gu Yan also said goodbye to Lin Zitong about the matter, so that she was optimistic about the portal, and not to wait for the ten-year period to come, and be caught off guard by the demon sect again. Afterwards, she and the Yunchi brothers set off for Ziluo Gorge.

The place where Ziluo Gorge is located is the closest to Yuyang Prefecture, where Tianjimen is located. They flew over Nantang, Qinggu and other places along the way, and after a few days, they saw the location of Ziluo Gorge.

Before she could see where Ziluo Gorge was, Gu Yan had already sensed an extremely strong murderous aura, and she said in surprise: "There is such a strong demonic aura here!" ”

Just her current induction is no less than that of the Black Valley back then, if the demonic qi here is really so strong, I am afraid that no monk can survive here.

Yun Chi smiled bitterly: "Since it was banned by the forbidden law, although this is the birthplace of the Dao Demon War, it looks like it looks like it. It's not that different. It's just since last year. The demonic energy became more and more vigorous. ”

The three of them were still flying, and at this time, Gu Yan could already see that in front of them, a rolling mountain range, stretching for thousands of miles, was spiraling, rolling inward one by one. The earth around the valley was all red, as if it was dyed with blood, and the valleys surrounding the Ziluo Gorge were all extremely dry, and you could see countless red sand on the riverbed.

She couldn't help but whisper: "The ancestor of Lotus Mountain back then used the water system here to stabilize the evil qi here." It's just that in this way, within 10,000 miles. and all of them will be deserted. ”

The three of them came to the edge of the Ziluo Gorge, and at this time there were already several rays of light in front of them. Quickly greeted him, led by a middle-aged Taoist, who also had a late stage of cultivation, he respectfully saluted the three of them, "See the two Sword Venerables, Fairy Gu." ”

Gu Yan just let out a faint "um", she has never been on good terms with Tianjimen, and she doesn't need to deliberately give them any good looks, while Yun Chi recognized that the person in front of her was the chief disciple under the Ziyang Seat, the Dao Commander Zhenzi.

Tianji Gate has spread to Ziyang Zhenren's generation, and the talent is withering day by day, until now, there is only one Yuan Infant in the door, and several of his disciples, including this Chang Zhenzi, are all consummated, and there is a great hope of advancing to the Yuan Infant, but they have never been able to. This time, the wind rose in the Ziluo Gorge, and above the land of the Tianji Gate, these people came to greet the Quartet.

Chang Zhenzi said very respectfully: "Young Master Chen of Baiya, Fairy Sheng of Lotus Mountain, and Blue Bird Zhenren of Yunshang Valley have all arrived, and our master has gone to greet Yuding Zhenren and Shen Zhenren in person." He once left an edict that if Jianzun arrived, please enter Ziluo Gorge first. ”

Yun Chi was surprised: "Is it so fast, the ban on Ziluo Gorge has already been opened?" ”

Chang Zhenzi nodded, "The Jade Flute Zhenren came this time in person, bringing the true talisman passed down by the three old ancestors, plus the golden lotus jade key brought by Fairy Sheng, which opened the ban on Ziluo Gorge, and for this reason, we have driven all the monks within 10,000 miles away." He stretched out his hand and pointed from afar, and sure enough, not far away, stood the banner of the mountain gate of Tianji Gate, where the clouds were swirling, and there seemed to be the qi of the seal, suppressing the Quartet, and from there, you could go straight into the Ziluo Gorge.

Immediately, Nagamako led the way in front and led the three of them to the mountain pass of Ziluo Gorge.

Gu Yan looked from the outside, only to see that the Ziluo Gorge was a heavy mountain, but when he got closer, he found that the terrain here was dangerous, like a vicious tiger, half-chested, horizontal on the earth, quite a "swallowing clouds and hugging the moon" momentum, which made people involuntarily depressed when they saw this place.

She studied the way of the formation, and naturally knew the qi veins of this place, which was an out-and-out fierce place.

Before she came to the mountain gate, she heard a clear voice say: "Who should I be, it turns out that the two Sword Venerables are here, and Fairy Gu is here." As the voice sounded, a young man dressed as a fisherman, holding a jade flute, had already walked out quickly.

It was the Jade Flute who had always been attached to the Jade Flute after seeing it once at the Dharma Festival that year. I haven't seen him for decades, his face doesn't seem to have changed, he bowed to Gu Yan, and Gu Yan returned the salute, and then he smiled and said: "I invited the spiritual root in the Tianchi from the hands of the three ancestors, turned it into a talisman seal, and suppressed this place, which can ensure that within three months, the demonic qi will not leak out, and within these three months, we must find the source of the demonic qi leakage." When the real person of Yuding arrived, we entered the Ziluo Gorge together. ”

He extended the three of them outside the mountain gate, while Chang Zhenzi and the rest of the disciples of the Tianji Gate were only sent outside the mountain gate, obviously inside the mountain gate, and they were not allowed to enter unless they were Yuanying monks.

After arriving inside, Gu Yan found that it was a natural lawn, green and vibrant, which formed an extremely sharp contrast with the dead silence around it.

The jade flute smiled and said: "This is all thanks to the spiritual root given by the three ancestors, so that it can turn into a piece of green in this dead land." ”

At this time, Chen Hanqing was already smiling and beckoning to him, Sheng Hualan was very happy when she saw Gu Yan coming, and said, "My master said that after he leaves the customs, I will invite you to see him." ”

Gu Yan's heart couldn't help jumping, in Yun Mengze, the matter of killing Qin Mingyue has always been a knot in her heart, although Lin Zilin said that she had revealed the matter, but she had never seen Padmasambhava, and she didn't know what he was thinking in his heart. Among the Yuanying monks in Cangwu, he is known as the person who is closest to the Yuan Queen. Gu Yan couldn't figure it out. What the hell was in his mind. But I thought I had seen it in Gusu City. Later, after the Scattered Cultivation Alliance rebelled against Gusu, together with the Longyuan Pavilion, the owner of the lotus pond who disappeared without a trace, Gu Yan felt that it seemed that it was extremely necessary to take a trip to Lotus Mountain.

She smiled and took Sheng Hualan's hand, "If you have the opportunity, you will come to visit." ”

The Blue Bird came alone this time. She didn't take Jiang Yaojia with her, she still had that indifferent expression, and then the jade flute said: "The truthless master of the Vajra Gate has sent me a message, they will come over later, we will meet the real person of Yuding, and then enter the Ziluo Gorge, you must remember that you must come out within three months, otherwise, the spiritual root given by the three ancestors." I can't suppress the demonic energy here. We might just get stuck in it. ”

Yun Chi bowed slightly to the jade flute, "I heard." The real person has already noticed the matter of that Demon Ancestor, I wonder if I can tell me? ”

The Jade Flute Zhenren was about to speak, when suddenly an extremely loud voice came from outside, "That Demon Ancestor, he is not from here!" ”

Gu Yan looked back, it was Yuding who spoke, he strode into the mountain gate, followed by Shen Mengli and Ziyang. Gu Yan's eyes couldn't help but turn around Shen Mengli's body, after ten years of not seeing, his cultivation seemed to be more refined. At this rate, in less than a hundred years, he is only afraid that he will have hope that he will be able to advance to the middle stage of the Yuan Infant. Speaking of which, the group of people who had entered the Sword Washing Pool back then, except for Gu Yan himself, were still the highest in his cultivation.

Shen Mengli followed Yuding at this time, with a gentle smile on his face, looking harmless to humans and animals, but Gu Yan's heart couldn't help but skip a beat. She remembered at this time that he had always had such a gentle smile in the sword washing pool, but secretly, he stabbed Gu Yan fiercely, making her trapped in the mirage group, and she almost couldn't get out. In my heart, I secretly became wary of him.

Shen Mengli smiled at Gu Yan, as if he was unaware of her hostility, Yun Yue was impatient, and at this time he had already said: "Master Yuding, what do you mean by what you just said?" ”

Yu Ding said: "That Holy Ancestor in the Demon Gate is said to have been a Demon Ancestor back then!" ”

Yun Yue daxiao got up: "Real people are joking, now in this world, where will there be any demon ancestors?" ”

Gu Yan was silent, but in her heart, she was quickly turning her thoughts, and she didn't know how much Yuding knew about Xuan Ting's identity?

Yuding said: "This matter is that Patriarch Huayan sent a message with divine thoughts, informing the other five old patriarchs of Cangwu, the Master of Truthlessness, and the magic power of Vajra Divine Truth, I only know that the Demon Ancestor is now hiding in the heavens, what secret method is he cultivating, and when his secret method is completed, I am afraid that it will be the second Dao Demon War, when it breaks out in full force, we must be fully prepared." ”

Chen Hanqing, who had not spoken, suddenly interjected: "Is entering Ziluo Gorge this time one of the preparations?" ”

Yu Ding nodded and said: "Yes, the six old ancestors discussed, and the Jade Flute Zhenren issued an order on behalf of the Yuxu Palace, and issued a decree, we entered the Ziluo Gorge this time, in addition to finding out the reason for the leakage of demonic qi, we also had to find something inside." And this thing is closely related to the next Dao Demon War. ”

Blue Bird Zhenren said coldly: "Real people don't sell Guanzi anymore, what is it?" ”

Yuding Zhenren shook his head and looked at the jade flute.

The jade flute smiled slightly, revealing a mouthful of extremely snow-white teeth, and said: "I don't know what this thing is, the three ancestors passed down a jade box, which was sealed with a golden lotus jade talisman, and it was only said that when the jade box was opened, it was the day when we had to do it." When the time comes, everything will be at your command. ”

In Gu Yan's heart, he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy. Although the third ancestor of the Jade Void Palace has an extremely lofty status, which is not something she can put her beak, she doesn't like this feeling of not being able to let everything be under control. The three ancestors of this Jade Void Palace, Xuanxu seems to have gone too far.

Thinking of the strange decree she had heard from Qin Mingyue's mouth, the strange decree passed down from the Jade Void Palace, she couldn't help but have some doubts in her heart.

At this time, the jade flute said: "Master Wudi, he will send his disciples, with the vajra spirit talisman, to suppress the Yin Demon Cave in this place, and it will not be possible to reach it in seven days, so we will enter the Ziluo Gorge from this place first." He paused and said, "Everyone should know that there were three places in the Ziluo Gorge back then, and it was the most powerful battlefield. Among them, the demonic energy is the heaviest. It's the Yin Demon Cave. I'm going to explore the Yin Demon Cave, and you can divide yourself into two paths and go to the other two places. How is it? ”

As the envoy of the Jade Void Palace, he has a high status, and he has already advanced to the cultivation of the middle of the Yuan Infant, and he is the highest cultivator among all the people present except for the Jade Ding. So Yuding and Ziyang, Shen Mengli and Blue Bird Zhenren. It was divided into one road, and Gu Yan was divided into one road with Yun Chi, Yun Yue's senior brothers, plus Sheng Hualan and Chen Hanqing, a total of five people. The crowd left the mountain gate and entered the Ziluo Gorge, an extremely narrow mountain road.

The Ziluo Gorge stretches for thousands of miles, but it is full of cliffs and overhanging peaks, and there is only a narrow path into the mountain, and on this mountain path, the rocks and dirt are mixed with blood. Incomparably strong together, trampled under their feet. You can feel the extremely thick aura coming from under the ground.

And everyone also walked up the hill and did not fly, also because the evil qi here was too heavy, so that the speed of flight would become a little sluggish.

After a few circles along the trail, there are forks in front of you. The jade flute pointed ahead and said, "The road in the middle leads to the Yin Demon Cave, everyone, if you have a message, you can send a voice to echo it." This place was the battlefield of that year, and the evil spirit was extremely heavy, so everyone must be careful. ”

Gu Yan couldn't help but feel a little strange when he heard the meaning of his words, everyone was already in the cultivation of Yuanying, in such a place, why should he be careful, or did he already notice something?

But before she could ask her own questions, the figure of the jade flute had quickly disappeared into the path in front of her.

Yuding arched his hand towards Yunchi, and then walked towards the path on the left, a group of several people, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Yun Chi watched their backs go away, and then said: "Back then, the topography of Ziluo Gorge was not like this, but it was only after repeated battles that several mountain ranges here were forcibly collapsed, leaving such traces. The Yin Demon Cave is the place where a great demon venerable died, and it is also the place where the demonic energy is the heaviest. ”

Gu Yan only then asked: "Back then, there were about a dozen Dao Demon Wars on the battlefield of Cangwu, such as the ancient battlefield of Yunze is one of them, most of them are secret realms for disciples as trials, why is this place heavily blocked and never open to people?" ”

Yun Chi smiled bitterly: "A place like the ancient battlefield can be opened to disciples as a place of trial, naturally it has already been inspected in advance, and there is no dangerous place." This is not the case with Ziluo Gorge, the monks of the Nine Sects back then, after the end of the war, had to heavily ban this place, not allowing outsiders to enter, how could they still give it to their own disciples for trials? ”

Yun Yue said in a deep voice: "In the Ziluo Gorge, there are countless secret realms large and small, and dangers are everywhere, and it is precisely because of this that those monks of the year chose this place as the battlefield, although it has been thousands of years, but this time the leylines have become more and more weird and strange, those secret realms that had been there back then, I am afraid that the terrain has also changed because of this, and what is recorded in the classics cannot be fully believed, we have to be more careful." ”

Chen Hanqing, who has always been steady, said: "As Jianzun said, where should we start?" ”

Yun Chi said: "There were three largest battlefields back then, in addition to the Yin Demon Cave that the Jade Flute Zhenren said, our trail led to Tianfeng Valley, but on the way to Tianfeng Valley, there were still a lot of secret realms, everyone must be careful, there were many Yuanying monks who died here!" ”

Gu Yan smiled and said nothing, but here, Ning Fengzi, who was in her chaotic space, suddenly whispered: "What this old Taoist priest said is very scary." However, since there are so many Yuanying monks who have died here, is there a bargain to pick up again? ”

Gu Yan smiled: "Why do you want to pick up the bargain again?" ”

Ning Fengzi pursed his mouth and said, "Why do I want to pick up cheap, don't you want to think about your classmates?" ”

This sentence reminded Gu Yan that now that the Bixia Sect is developing more and more rapidly, although there is a spiritual garden as the base, and all the elixirs and spiritual herbs can keep up, there is one problem that also stands out, that is, the number of magic weapons above the top grade is not enough. Such as Wei Fei and Xu Ning are better, but the monks who are more advanced than them, like Wei Qing, who have already attained the consummation of the Dan, and even Lin Zitong and Zhang Daniu, the two Yuan Infants, do not have enough magic treasures to use, if this trip is really as Yunchi said, then this Ziluo Gorge is no less than a huge treasure house, and Gu Yan can't help but be moved.

Ning Fengzi knew that she was moved, so he smiled proudly: "How is it, I said that you are in your heart, right?" ”

Gu Yan smiled silently and walked onto the stone path in front of him.

Yun Chi walked in the front, and Gu Yan was in the front of Zuihou, and everyone did not take the magic weapon to fly, but walked forward step by step.

As you go deeper into the Ziluo Gorge, the demonic qi becomes more and more intense, along the way, you can see countless white bones everywhere, some have even experienced ten thousand years, the corpse has not decayed, but the situation has been extremely terrifying, some have even been cut off half of their heads, and one eyeball is still held outside, which makes people extremely disgusting.

Gu Yan didn't feel anything, Ning Fengzi had already vomited in the space, Gu Yan was so helpless by her, she had to cut off the sound in the space, and only then did she end up with a clean ear. It seems that over the years, Ning Fengzi's cultivation has not made an inch, but her own emotions have become richer, in other words, she is becoming more and more like a "person".

Although they are walking, but the speed is still extremely fast, but it is only a day or two, they have traveled hundreds of miles, along the way, they have also passed through a lot of dangerous places, such as countless purple vermilion mosquitoes circling the purple vermilion forest, the black swamp where the black lion is entrenched, and there is a deep cave with demonic energy, there is a stone in it, very strange, according to Yunchi's estimate, it may be the magic weapon left by a certain great demon venerable back then, which was eroded by the sun and moonlight, and became the appearance it is today.

If it is changed to before the baby, it is a dangerous place everywhere, and if you pick up a random place, Gu Yan may not be able to get out, but the five of them, all of them are cultivators above the Yuan Infant, although it cannot be said that they are walking on the ground, but it is also very easy to pass through these places, and Sheng Hualan also specially collected the stone with a deep demonic aura, ready to use it as a formation stone in the formation.

They have walked through countless dangerous places, and they have also passed through a lot of secret places, although the more they go to the Ziluo Gorge, the deeper the demonic qi becomes, but they have never found out the source of the demonic qi, so that everyone's heart is like a heavy stone.

At this time, they had just crossed a valley, in this valley, there were all kinds of fruits of different colors, and on each tree, there were seven different colors, as big as a fist of wild fruits growing, this kind of fruit, called Seven Bird Fruit, is an extremely rare thing, extremely rare in the Cangwu Continent, Gu Yan only saw it once when he was in Guixu Sea.

Yun Chi said with some surprise: "These fruit seeds should have come from the other side of the Tianji Mountain Range, I don't know how, they will take root here." ”

Gu Yan smiled and said, "These fruits, I have picked them for some use, how about Sword Venerable, please wait for a while?" ”

Back then, when Gu Yan was still in the foundation building period, on the Chilang Reef in the Guixu Sea, the Four Emperor Spirit Spiders fished for gold boats, and everyone joined forces to take the treasure, and the ones used to lure the Four Emperor Spirit Spiders were these Seven Bird Fruits. In the book of beast control that Gu Yan obtained, it was also mentioned that the Seven Bird Fruit was an excellent thing for controlling demon beasts. It can be used to refine an elixir called "Hundred Beasts Returning to Yin Pill", which is very effective in increasing the cultivation of spirit beasts. Gu Yan stayed here for a while, picked all these fruits, and received them in the chaotic space.

When Xiao Jiang saw these fruits, he pounced on them with great interest, and hugged them with two small paws, one left and one right, in his arms, as if no one else was allowed to touch it. was knocked on the head by Ning Fengzi, and he was rushed to the side. She looked at these fruits and said with a little surprise: "The aura hidden in this is very strange, I seem to have some impressions......"

She rubbed her forehead with her hand, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it.

At this time, Gu Yan had already picked all the seven bird fruits in the valley, and suddenly said with some joy: "This kind of fruit, I have only seen it once overseas, I have a kind of Danfang, and the effect of using this fruit is excellent, but no matter how much fruit there is, there is also a time when it runs out, it is better to transplant a tree in the past and give it fishing, isn't it better than sitting on a mountain and eating empty mountains?" ”

Sheng Hualan said with a smile: "It's just that I think this kind of spiritual root has extremely strict requirements for spiritual energy, especially in this valley, there is a large amount of demonic qi to make these fruits grow, Sister Gu, although you have a spiritual garden in your hand, you may not be able to cultivate it." (To be continued.) )
