Chapter 467: Risk

Bi Zhenzhen's qualifications are just mediocre, she didn't think that she could form a Jindan at first, after a fluke marriage, Jindan is still very unstable, and she has to continue to retreat to stabilize the realm, but at this time, the Danyang faction came to the door again. They hindered the rules of Yunzeguo and did not dare to blatantly come to rob the mountain gate of the Danxia faction, but they trapped Bi Zhenzhen on the top of the mountain, and asked her to promise to give up this mountain, withdraw from Dongyang County forever, and choose another place to be stationed, otherwise she would not be allowed to leave.

Bi Zhenzhen worked hard to break out of the heavy news, returned to the mountain gate, and opened the mountain protection array, which saved her life, but she also suffered some injuries, and retreated for a period of time before she stabilized the realm, that is, after that time, she felt that she had been poisoned by cold poison and had not healed. Later, Lan Xiang returned from the Central Plains and visited her in Dongyang County, but was retained by Bi Zhenzhen and asked her to treat her injuries, but she has been helpless, and then Lan Xiang had the idea of stealing the Blue Blood Yuan Dan from Cumulus Peak, and accidentally met Gu Yan and invited her over, so as to find out the truth about the so-called "cold poison" in Bi Zhenzhen's body.

After Gu Yan heard this, she frowned, although she didn't have any likes or dislikes for these two sects, but Bi Zhen was really Lan Xiang's apprentice, and he was a cultivator of the Inner Dan Fu Seal, which was similar to his own Dan Dao, so he naturally had a sense of intimacy, and Ge Yun's behavior sounded like a first-class villain. But listening to Bi Zhenzhen's words, it has been nearly three years since she was last ambushed, so it is really difficult to find clues. She pondered for a moment, then asked, "Can you think of when you were possessed by worm eggs, whether it was a deliberate spell or an unintentional mistake?" ”

Bi Zhenzhen thought for a moment and said, "When I was attacked that day, I once fought with Ge Yun, the head of the Danyang faction, and the two elders in the faction, and the three of them worked together, and I was not an opponent. He fled back in a hurry, not noticing anything else. But I saw a man in a green robe beside them, and he was wearing a mask. He also used secret methods to cover his face, which seemed quite mysterious. He carried a bag on his back, and there was a constant noise coming from it. Buzzing, now want to come. Could it be a poisonous insect that was raised? ”

Gu Yan gently tapped his forehead with his hand and said, "There is one more thing that is difficult to solve. You said that the Danyang faction's plot against the mountain gate station of the Danxia Sect is not a matter of three years and five years, why was it suddenly so eager three years ago, Ge Yun did not hesitate to tear his face, and forced you to agree to this matter? ”

As soon as Gu Yan said this, Bi Zhenzhen also frowned. "Yes, in fact, within the Danyang faction, it is not monolithic, although they all want to claim back the station of the Danxia sect to prove their orthodoxy, but not everyone wants to use force like Ge Yun, and a large number of people do not want to kill each other, so the matter of the Danyang faction asking for the station of the sect, although it has dragged on for a long time, has not been resolved. But last time, Ge Yun was so anxious that he couldn't do it, as if he was about to get his hands on this sect. ”

"Not bad." Gu Yan listened to Bi Zhenzhen's words, his spirits perked up, and he said. "But three years ago, after you were injured and fled, the Danyang faction suddenly died down, and there must have been something going on that that we don't know, as you say, probably inseparable from that green-robed man. Maybe you were also injured by the poisonous insects he released. She stood up, straightened her waist, and said, "You still need to tie the bell to untie the bell, so I'll go to the place where you were ambushed back then!" ”

Bi Zhenzhen was taken aback and said: "The place where I was ambushed was at the eastern foot of this mountain, which was originally the land of the Danyang faction, and after I was ambushed back then, the Danyang faction divided it into a forbidden place again, and outsiders were not allowed to set foot on it, even the young disciples in their faction were not allowed to trespass, let alone our opponents." Wouldn't it be very dangerous if the seniors went there? ”

Lan Xiang blinked with a smile, looking indifferent, "If there is such a fun thing, don't leave me behind." "Although she has been an elder of the Bixia Sect for many years, she has much more seniority than Gu Yan, but she has no consciousness like an elder, and she looks like an innocent and fun little girl.

Gu Yan smiled, "I don't think there will be any danger, no matter what, the Danyang faction is just a remote place in Dongyang, in terms of strength, it is probably not comparable to the Wei family when it was in Weiguo." She was quite confident in her stealth skills, when she had not re-married alone, she dared to enter Qiyun Mountain alone, and then came out safely under the countless strong enemies of the Wei family and the Zhancheng, the small Dongyang faction was really nothing. She pulled Mo Yan over and said, "This is my little friend, please leave it to the Bimen Master to take care of, she has just started to practice, and she doesn't know anything yet, please take care of her safety more." ”

Mo Yan knew that Gu Yan was going to do his own business, so he didn't say anything, just bowed his head and listened to her arrangement. Bi Zhenzhen is naturally responsible for this matter, she thought about it, then called the girl next to her, and whispered a few words to her, the girl's face was surprised, but she still turned around, and after a while, she came back with a jade box.

Bi Zhenzhen took the jade box, which was sealed with more than a dozen sigils, shining golden and shining. Her fingers swiped in the air one after another, unraveling the sigils on them one by one.

Gu Yan looked at her technique and thought in his heart. Although they practiced the art of showing the talisman seal, they also had a considerable understanding of the technique of the talisman, and when they saw Bi Zhenzhen's actions, she confirmed each other in her heart, and felt that it was indeed unique.

It took Bi Zhenzhen nearly a pillar of incense to open this jade box. The jade box is extremely shallow, and there is only one talisman seal in it, Bi Zhenzhen took out the talisman seal, handed it to Gu Yan, and said: "This is a spiritual talisman handed down by the ancestors of this sect, which has the effect of protecting oneself. ”

Gu Yan saw that the spirit rune was only the size of a palm, and he couldn't tell what material the rune paper was, the rune seal treasure light painted on it was spreading, warm and soft, but the rune paper looked a little yellow, and at a glance, he knew that it was a treasure that had been treasured for many years. She just wanted to excuse herself, but Lan Xiang had already taken it, forced it into her hand, and said: "Don't look at the dilapidated Danxia Sect, but the inheritance time is much older than that of the Bixia Sect. ”

Bi Zhenzhen smiled a little embarrassedly, "What Senior Lan said is very true. This kind of spirit rune is also a lot of treasures in this door, and one is really nothing. Please also ask Gu seniors not to shirk. She thought for a moment, and then said softly, "The Dan Dao practiced by the seniors. In the true sound, with the door of the inner Dan of the technique. There are quite a number of techniques that can be confirmed, and the seniors can try each other on the talisman, and when they come back, they really have to ask for advice. ”

This sentence made Gu Yan a little moved, she was also a free and easy person, so she smiled and took the spirit talisman from Bi Zhenzhen's hand. Bi Zhenzhen said several techniques for urging spirit runes. This kind of ancient spirit talisman handed down from the Danxia Sect requires extremely fine techniques and profound cultivation to destroy, and some treasured talismans are not even understood by Bi Zhenzhen himself. This talisman is called the "Equal Body Talisman", which is mainly used to protect the body, and the technique is not complicated. Bi Zhenzhen said it a few times, and Gu Yan remembered that she put the talisman seal in the Qiankun bag, and asked about the way to the back mountain, so she patted Mo Yan. "You can wait here for me to come back!" went out of the palace gate, beckoned Lan Xiang together, got on the Jinyun disk, and then a white light rose to the sky. Fly towards the back mountain.

The mountain where the Danxia Sect is located, the mountain is vertical and horizontal, stretching for hundreds of miles, and the middle is divided into two by a valley, the front is Shanyang, and the back is Shanyin, and the Danyang faction occupies the Shanyin place at the eastern foothills, but over the years, the Dongyang faction is powerful, and is no longer satisfied with the valley as the boundary, and most of the mountains are occupied in the past, leaving only the mountain peak and the surrounding dozens of miles of territory. And now the place they are going to is the valley in the middle, in which there is a small river flowing slowly, because it flows through the local mineral deposits, the river is a little red, so it is called the "Red River" by the locals.

Gu Yan stood on the Jinyun Disk, looking down at the river valley from top to bottom, and said in a deep voice: "The intention of the Danyang Sect is a little difficult to guess. ”

Lan Xiang came to Danxia Sect, but it was only half a year, and she was busy trying to find a way to treat Bi Zhenzhen's injuries, and she didn't pay attention to the Danyang Sect. At this time, I couldn't help but be surprised. In this valley, the guards are extremely tight, and the Danyang faction has at least forty or fifty disciples here, as one of the top gate sects in Dongyang County, this is probably more than one-third of their faction's strength, what is so special about such a river valley that deserves their attention?

Gu Yan said: "I suspect that they must have other intentions when they wanted to forcibly seize the mountain gate of Danxia Sect back then, they should want to occupy the entire Danxia Mountain!" ”

She pointed to the surrounding terrain and said: "Look at this mountain range, from east to west, vertical and horizontal, this is the terrain that drives the tiger and swallows the dragon, there are nine peaks in the east, when the sun rises, borrow the golden crow to press the nine yang, the mountain shape is back to the mountain, the ring is not scattered, the so-called gathering Dan fire and refining the true form is also." This river valley is in the center and is the location of the suppression of the Danhuo. From the perspective of the entire mountain range, the mountain gate of Danxia Sect is located, which is the most important gate of Yuan Dan. She turned her head and asked, "Is there anyone in the Danyang Sect who is proficient in the art of alchemy?" ”

Lan Xiang was still a little puzzled at first, and when he heard Zuihou, his face couldn't help but show a look of horror, "You mean to say that the terrain here is arranged by an alchemist?" ”

Gu Yan nodded, "The terrain here, if a clever alchemist sees it, it should be clear that this is a natural place to cultivate the Yuan Dan, and the terrain surrounded by the entire mountains is a huge Dan furnace, gathering the surrounding spiritual energy and gathering here, the place where Zhongtian and Earth are beautiful and heroic, whether it is alchemy or refining, in this place, whether it is alchemy or refining, you can receive twice the result with half the effort." When the patriarch of the Danxia Sect chose this place as the place where the sect was stationed, it must have been after some consideration. She sighed, "It's a pity that there are too few people who can understand this kind of alchemy now, and probably no one can see the beauty of this terrain." What a waste. ”

She thought of Qiyun Mountain, where the Bixia Sect was located, although it was also a rare blessed place for the country, but compared to this place, it was still too different. If a cave can be built here, then at least the spirit garden will not be a problem, Gu Yan is absolutely sure that a spirit garden will be built here, as long as it is built according to the mountain and the surrounding spiritual energy is brought over, it will definitely be able to cultivate a lot of spirit grass here.

Lan Xiang was a little puzzled: "According to what you said, they should be more covetous of the mountain gate of the Danxia Sect, why have they stopped doing anything in the past few years?" ”

Gu Yan pointed to the three peaks in the distance and said: "This should be the action they did to cover people's eyes and ears, you see that those three peaks should have been built later by taking advantage of the terrain and manpower, and those three peaks were built there, which just formed the trend of 'Locking Dragon Hidden Hill'." So that the Dan Huo could not leak out, and the aura was brought to the river valley. This is an extremely clever method of 'adapting to the place', and this person is not only proficient in the art of alchemy. And he also has a very unique attainment in the science of formation. It's not a clever tactic, but it's the best way to deal with the situation. ”

Lan Xiang looked at Gu Yan with some puzzlement, although she knew a lot about alchemy. But she didn't know anything about the formation method, and she had to explain it to her.

Gu Yan said: "Where the Danxia Sect Mountain Gate is. It is the place where the spiritual veins converge to suppress, but as soon as these three peaks are built, the aura of this place will be drained away, if Bi Zhenzhen is also familiar with the formation, he will naturally take measures according to the conditions of the place and make another means to crack it, but she is at a loss about this matter. Therefore, the terrain here in Danxia Sect has been artificially changed. ”

Lan Xiang let out an "ah" and said, "No wonder in the past six months, when I have been cultivating here, I will faintly feel that the aura will be lost, it turns out that the surrounding terrain is at work. ”

Gu Yan nodded, "This change is extremely subtle, and people in the bureau can't detect it." But I suspect that this person who arranged the formation. It shouldn't be a member of the Danyang faction. ”

Lan Xiang nodded, "This must be foreign aid from the Danyang faction, otherwise, they would have been able to use this method a long time ago." Why wait until now. ”

Gu Yan shook his head, "It's not entirely for this. Don't you hear of 'fishing with all your might'? In this way, the damage to the terrain here is quite great, and it is only a contingency strategy, which is not taken by the wise. I guess this is where the Danyang faction got foreign aid, and it's not all for the Danyang faction itself. ”

The two of them stood high above the clouds, looking down at the movement below, not worrying about being seen by the disciples patrolling below. Besides, these disciples of the Danyang Sect, over the years, have been suppressing the Danxia Sect to the death, suppressing the Danxia Sect until there is only one woman left, plus more than ten disciples. For Danxia Sect, they really can't be despised anymore, and they never imagined that they would send someone to snoop.

Lan Xiang shook his hand vigorously, "What are you doing with so many brains, you want to know the truth, go down and take a look, don't you know?" ”

Gu Yan smiled, but she didn't rush down, she was thinking about the person who arranged the formation, in terms of attainment, he should not be under him, in the river valley, what kind of plan did he have? She thought about it, stood on the Jinyun disk, took out five array flags and placed them, and then frowned, thoughtfully, and kept changing the direction back and forth.

Lan Xiang didn't know anything about these doorways, and he didn't dare to interrupt her, so he squatted to the side, bent up with his two elbows, supported his chin, and watched Gu Yan's inexplicable movements.

Gu Yan fiddled underground for a while before standing up, "Let's go around the river valley, but we must be careful about our actions and try not to alarm their people." "At least for now, their purpose is just to find the kind of poisonous insect that restrains the Baiming Silkworm in Bi Zhenzhen's body, not to be an enemy of the entire Danyang Sect.

The depth of this river valley is hundreds of miles long, from the entrance of the river several zhang wide river and shallows, and then inside, the river water began to slowly become exhausted, the inside of the seven turns and eight turns, the road is very rugged and difficult, and the cliffs on both sides are also becoming more and more steep, from the sky can not see the situation inside at all, only the Danyang sect disciples on duty on the periphery.

The two of them were both experienced cultivators, and naturally they didn't pay attention to these disciples who were only in the middle stage of foundation building, so they found a relatively hidden place, Gu Yan used Zhu Yan Mirror to protect the figures of the two, and then swaggered into the river valley.

After walking along the shallows around the Red River, for about a few dozen miles, there were no people in sight. At the entrance of the river valley, you can also see the surrounding medicine pickers, and the Danyang faction will also send people here to collect medicine. Gu Yan said to Lan Xiang as he walked: "The Danyang faction cultivates the Wai Dan Fu Seal, and they must also be proficient in the art of alchemy, although this method of making shapes according to the place is not within their ability, but after a long time, they may not be able to see it." ”

Lan Xiang said: "Although I said that, the Danyang faction has not made any changes in the past few years, and it seems that they themselves are very afraid of this foreign aid they have invited." ”

Gu Yan nodded, a contemplative look on his face. She couldn't think of what that mysterious person, most of whom Bi Zhenzhen said, the mysterious green-robed guest he met when he was besieged that day, what idea was he working on to build such a large terrain of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Furnace, what was he used for, and what role did those demon insects in his hands play?

At this time, the sky was gradually darkening, Gu Yan looked up at the front, the narrow and rugged deep valley seemed to hide everything deeply, and the river valley under the mist was like a dark and bottomless mouth, as if it wanted to swallow up all the people who came in.

Not far away, there are marks written by the Danyang faction in various words, warning that this is a forbidden place belonging to the Danyang faction, foreign monks and disciples of this sect, no entry is allowed without an order, the two looked at each other and smiled, who didn't take it seriously, and walked straight to the front.

After passing through the places marked by the words, the terrain suddenly became steep, surrounded by towering trees, countless ancient trees growing, and layers of mist looming. Some of the fog even has a pungent smell in it, which is unbearable to smell.

Lan Xiang couldn't help but cover his nose, frowned and said, "Does the Danyang faction regard this place as their garbage dump?" A smell of stinky fish, rotten shrimp and carrion corpses, as if it had been accumulated for hundreds of years! ”

Gu Yan's mind suddenly woke up, she quickly took out the Zhu Yan Mirror, and then looked around, those fogs dispersed one after another under the light of the Zhu Yan Mirror, and then Lan Xiang suddenly exclaimed, "My God!" ”

Under the cover of the mist, there are small flying insects in the sky, densely packed, covering the sky and the sun, and there are dozens of millions of them at a glance. They gathered around the two of them, waiting for a chance to bite them. These insects are grayish-white in color, hidden in the mist, and there is no shadow at all. It's no wonder that Lan Xiang didn't find them just now.

Gu Yan said with a solemn face: "These are fog poisonous insects, they specialize in gnawing on the corpses of demon beasts and monks, their bodies are full of dead gas, so the monk's divine thoughts can't find them, there are so many fog poisonous insects here, it seems that there must be a lot of corpses of demon beasts dead!" ”

Although Lan Xiang has a wide range of knowledge and has heard the name of the fog poisonous insect, she does not understand it as clearly as Gu Yan, she thought for a while before saying: "This kind of thing is usually only found in the deep mountains and rivers, poor mountains and bad waters, how can there be such a thing in a cave blessed land like Danxia Mountain?" ”

Gu Yan said: "The terrain here has been changed by people, and it is not strange that this poisonous insect appears, but there are so many of them, how can there be monks here to feed them?" It must be a living by gnawing on the corpses of demon beasts. She smiled again, "But these fog insects are harmless to the living, they only gnaw at the corpses of the dead, and even if we swagger past them, they will only come up and bite us." ”

Lan Xiang exhaled and said with palpitations: "Even if this is the case, millions of insects are flying around on your side, don't you feel awkward when you look at it?" ”

Gu Yan smiled slightly, "If you want to disperse them, it's not impossible." As soon as she raised her hand, a cyan flame ignited on her fingertips. This is the fire of the green underworld that she obtained from the imperial city of the Yue Kingdom, when she was in the underground palace under the Meridian Valley, she found that the fire of the green underworld has a miraculous effect on driving away the dead qi, at this time, the fire of the green underworld was ignited, the sparks splashed everywhere, and the fog poisonous insects hovering around Gu Yan that had not yet avoided made a squeaky sound, and then fell to the left and right, obviously the dead qi in the body had been burned clean.

Those fog poison insects were frightened when they saw their companions die, and they retreated to the left and right, Gu Yan raised his fingertips, and the fire of the green darkness burned on it, like a candle lit for pathfinding lighting, as she walked forward, the fog poison insects on the left and right flashed away, automatically giving way to a passage, and the two of them swaggered forward. (To be continued)
