As he got to know better, Mo Wen became more and more shocked the older he got, especially when he learned the true strength of those children in the car, he almost couldn't help jumping out of the car... When he learned about the extraordinary firebird on Liu Qi's shoulder, he was even more shocked and speechless...

After a few days, Mo Wen couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, so he asked through the seal, "Venerable Lord, since that firebird on your shoulder has extremely strong flying ability, why do you still want to make a carriage?" It's not worth wasting time, is it? ”

Liu Qi smiled indifferently and said, "Elder Mo, your Izumo Academy is a place where dragons and crouching tigers are hidden, if they are discovered, there will be big trouble, and besides, I did this to wait for some people to chase and kill, I think they should be fast, although they were scared away by the thunderstorm for a while, but after I learned that I came out, I would definitely intercept it, and in the future, you just have to deal with it seriously..."

Although Mo Wen was still a little puzzled, he didn't dare to ask again, and said, "According to the speed of this carriage and the instructions on the map, in another day, you will be able to reach the mysterious 'Ghost Ancient Road' surrounded by mountains and fog all year round, where the terrain is complicated, and there are often some bandits and robbers, if someone really uses the fog there to attack and kill, it should be the best place..."

Liu Qi nodded, checked the map of the Izumo Empire, found the ghost ancient road, combined with the relevant information, Liu Qi found that although the conditions were harsh and there were many dangers, it was also one of the places that must be passed to go to the Izumo Imperial Capital.

This ghost ancient road is hundreds of kilometers, and it is winding, the mountain road is extremely steep, it is difficult to pass, under normal circumstances, it takes three or four days to pass, and there are some powerful demonic beasts on the mountains on both sides, often devouring passers-by.

A long time ago, the caravans were often hit in it, the light goods were robbed, and the heavy even their lives would be lost, and later, in order to reduce the losses, the caravans gathered at the 'Ghost Inn' in front of the ghost road, and when enough passers-by came here, they walked together and crossed the ghost road together...

Over time, this time a small town of business travel was formed, called "Ghost Ancient Town", where goods from the north and south gathered, and some villagers living in the surrounding mountains would also take some medicinal herbs and beasts to make some trades here...

Of course, these are just rumors about the ghost town, and no one can say what the real situation is.

Another point is that the martial artist guilds all over the continent have also set up a branch here, called the 'Ghost Branch', where they receive and issue tasks, and at the same time, several relatively strong cultivators have set up a "Ghost Mercenary Group" here, which specializes in escorting caravans in and out of the Ghost Ancient Road, of course, depending on the number of people and goods, there are different honorariums...

On the other side of the ghost ancient road, there is also an inn, the name is very strange, the opposite of the inn, called the "ghost inn", which also forms a medium-sized town, called "ghost ancient town", and there is also a branch of the martial arts guild, "ghost branch", the ghost mercenary group leads the business travel between these two towns, and almost nothing happens...

After filtering these materials, Liu Qi felt very interesting, especially the two inns, the names are opposite, those two towns were established around them, and they existed a long time ago, but no one knows when they were established, or who established them, it seems that when the ghost ancient road existed, they existed at both ends, as if they were a long time ago...

When he wanted to inquire further about some relevant information, Liu Qi found that there was only this information in this place, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Elder Mo, why does the name of the Ghost Ancient Dao take the word ghost?" Could it be that there really is a ghost? ”

Mo Wen smiled and said in disbelief, "Lord, where are the ghosts?" In the early years, when I traveled there, I was very curious about it, so I went to investigate, but I didn't see the shadow of the ghost, but I found several waves of robbers, and at the same time, I found that there was a roar of the wind, the sound of wild beasts and monsters, and the eyes could not see too far, so it was very creepy..."

"However, it is recorded that some of the ancestors of Izumo Academy did see strange things here, and the air there sometimes condensed the figures of humans or animals, which looked ethereal and illusory, disembodied, and very similar to ghosts..."

"But, as long as you tap lightly, those images will disperse, for masters, it's really nothing, but for those business travelers and ordinary people, maybe that's the so-called "ghost", after all, those images and the terrifying voice in the ancient road are really scary, I think, the ghost ancient road is from this..."

Liu Qi nodded, agreeing with Mo Wen's inference, it was indeed possible because of fear, and after thinking for a while, Liu Qi entered the cultivation in the carriage, and the rest of the young men were also a lot quieter, and most of them closed their eyes to recuperate.

It's just that Liu Qi didn't notice that the two figures in the air glanced at the two carriages, and then flew quickly forward.

At that moment, Huojing's small eyes glanced into the air, revealing a hint of disdain, and Lightning also squinted, and then continued to play the pleasure of being an instructor...

A day later, Liu Qi was suddenly awakened by a chill that penetrated deep into his heart, opened his eyes that had become a little deep, looked at the others, and found that Xiaoxue and Xiaobai did not have any abnormalities, and they were still practicing...

Lifting the curtain of the car and looking, Liu Qi found that there was a faint white mist around it, and the emerald green mountains not far away towered into the sky, and the white clouds and thin white mist surrounded the top of the mountain, like a fairyland, which made people yearn...

The road under the foot of the current walk is paved with large stones, and it can be seen from the grinding marks on it that it must have gone through a long time... Some mountain grasses grow out of the cracks in the rocks on the side, revealing their vitality...

The bushes on both sides of the road are overgrown, and small insects are whispering in it, and then look out, five meters away, both sides are full of cliffs, comparing the height, Liu Qi found that the mountain road he and others walked was about halfway up the mountain next to it...

In front of the exercise, the cliff is gradually disappearing, replaced by a very wide circular slightly high flat slope, as if a mountain has been cut directly from the bottom, on which stands a majestic stone town, four words exude momentum, through the mist, running here, it is the "ghost town", there are still the sound of cars and horses and the shouts of people from there.

Liu Qi immediately realized that another necessary pass to the imperial capital had arrived, but there was a trace of wonder in his heart, why did he have an inexplicable coolness? Does it feel wrong on your own, or does it really exist? For a while, Liu Qi had some doubts.

At this time, when he turned his head when he found the abnormal fire extinguishing, Liu Qi asked, "Uncle Huo, when you came to this neighborhood, did you feel a chill in your heart?" ”

The fire was extinguished for a moment, and after a moment, he smiled and said, "Liu Qi, our cultivators have long been invulnerable to cold and heat, how can we feel cold?" Not to mention cultivators like you and me who have reached a high level? Do you feel that something is wrong here? ”

Shaking his head, Liu Qi covered up the past, and when he saw that he was about to arrive in the ancient town, he let him know, jumped out of the carriage, and asked them to go to the ghost inn to stay first, and then stood alone on the side of the road and looked at the mysterious mountain in the distance.

The fire was a little worried, but thinking of the strength that Liu Qi showed when he survived the tribulation of the Quanjian Valley in the image of the life space, he felt that it would be useless for him and the others to do anything, so he and Jiang Shang and Mo Wen rushed to the ancient town with a carriage and made an appointment to meet at the inn in advance.

After seeing them go away, Liu Qi walked to the cliff on the side of the road, and then stood on the side, carefully looked at the two mountain streams that seemed to be carved out, and found that the strange rocks on both sides of the cliff were uneven, some vigorous weeds grew from the cracks, and some also bloomed beautiful wildflowers, swaying in the wind, dancing with the wind, very beautiful!

On the whole, these two cliffs are level with the ground at the flat slope of the ancient town, and then outward like a sudden break, sinking into 10,000 meters, forming two narrow mountain stream slits, radiating around the two hills on both sides of the road, gradually deviating from this ancient road and spreading in other directions...

According to a rough estimate of the arc of the mountain stream in the past two days, Liu Qi estimated that his group should have driven into this mountain road two kilometers away, and when even the primary cloud power was emitted from the body, and probed towards the road from which it came, it was found that it was indeed the case, and at the two thousand meters of the road when it came, there were several mountain roads that converged there, and then led to this road.

With the doubt that he suddenly felt cold before, Liu Qi walked back, that is, towards the fork in the road!

Slowing down his thinking, reminiscing about the coolness, and maintaining vigilance around him, Liu Qi slowly walked back, and immediately found that the more he walked out, the lighter the coolness became, and after walking two thousand meters and reaching the fork in the road, Liu Qi felt that the coolness disappeared completely.

Frowning slightly, Liu Qi looked around, and found that this was also the place where the two mountain streams had the largest bend in the slits, and then turned to the other two sides.

Maintaining his agility, Liu Qi took a step inward, and immediately felt a faint coolness that penetrated into his heart and spleen, and then took a step back, the coolness deepened, took a step back, the coolness weakened, and then took a step back, and disappeared immediately!

At this point, Liu Qi finally confirmed that his previous feeling was not wrong, there was really a chill in this ghost ancient road, but Huo Huo and other others didn't feel the slightest, this is very puzzling, is it his own reason, or something else?

Standing here, looking at the ancient town a few kilometers away, and the undulating mountains behind the ancient town, Liu Qi felt that this place seemed to hide something mysterious that was unknown or had been forgotten by the world...

I remember, before leaving, Shan Lao also talked about this place roughly, and there were only four words for here, "mysterious and unpredictable", and asked himself not to cause trouble when passing through here, so as not to cause trouble and avoid disasters!

When asked the reason, Shan Lao didn't elaborate, but said that millions of years ago, when there was a great war between this plane and its subsidiary derivative planes, this place and several other equally mysterious places did not have any movement!

No matter how intense the battle, when it reaches these places, it will completely disappear, and it will not affect these places in the slightest!

According to the information provided by Shan Lao, there were once several earth spirit-level masters who were curious about this place, so they joined forces to enter the ghost ancient path to explore the secrets, but after entering, they had no news and did not know whether they were alive or dead... And as long as ordinary people are not killed by the bandits inside, or are bitten to death by wild beasts and monsters, they can pass through safely and reach the other end, which is very strange...

Since then, the reputation of this ghost ancient road has spread, and all outsiders are very taboo about this and several other places, and they dare not go deep easily, even if they pass by, they will pretend to be ordinary people, and like ordinary business travelers, they do not show high force, and they also pass carefully with the large army... Of course, if there is a flying primordial beast, it is another matter, and it will generally be avoided far away...

It's just that at that time, the energy of this plane was still very advanced, and the proportion of cultivators was very large, but there were very few ordinary people, and those business travelers didn't have to wait when they passed by here, and they hired some cultivators, so there was no town here at that time, but it was unknown whether the inn existed at that time...

According to Elder Shan, another thing that is very strange is that almost no one has ever seen the bandits in this ghost ancient path, but they have always existed, ordinary people will automatically forget when they see it, and after leaving the ancient road, they will automatically forget it, even if they search their memories, there is no sign, only the memory of "there are bandits here", and the same is true for cultivators.

If you don't encounter the bandits, you won't be fine, and your memories won't be missing, which makes some cultivators and laymen very curious, but after paying countless people's lives and blood to no avail, they finally stayed away and wisely chose to forget and ignore.

As for the things that looked like "ghosts" in Mo Wen's mouth, Shan Lao also mentioned it, and the description was the same as Mo Wen's, and for other things, such as the sudden coolness, Shan Lao didn't mention it... These aroused Liu Qi's deep curiosity, just like the spring valley at the beginning, he wanted to explore, and the only reason was the coolness that could be sensed, and the coolness that would change...

Thinking about this, Liu Qi looked more carefully at the boundary line where he could sense the coolness, and observed carefully, and found that the plants outside the dividing line already had dead leaves, but the branches and leaves inside were luxuriant...

After thinking about it, Liu Qi covered the two small grasses of the same species that had just grown out of the ground one mile and one mile away, waved his hand and threw out two bundles of purple medical qi, and went deep into the ground to completely surround their roots, and the supply capacity accelerated their growth to observe the difference.

The result was obvious, the grass on the outside immediately radiated a strong vitality, growing at a rate a hundred times higher than usual, and the situation was visible to the naked eye, and in half an hour, small yellow flowers bloomed, and the one inside only grew two leaves...

After sensing it for a moment, Liu Qi waved his hand to take back the primary cloud power and the remaining purple medicine qi, examined it again, and came to the conclusion that "the plants that are close to the ghost ancient path covered with cool growth are slow"...

At this time, the neighing of horses came from an intersection, Liu Qi took a look, and found a very gorgeous-looking, two-horse pulled "sedan chair-type carriage" towards here, the driver was a middle-aged man, full of ability, from his inadvertent aura, Liu Qi sensed that he was a martial emperor-level cultivator.

On both sides of the carriage, there were two strong men riding high-headed horses to escort them, and there were also two men behind the car, also riding high-headed horses, Liu Qi's eyes swept slightly, and he immediately found that the six strong men were all the peak of martial arts, and they were also good hands in the world.

As for who was in the car, out of respect for them, Liu Qi did not scan it, after all, since he was sitting in the car, and although the car was fanciful, it was very sturdy, and he didn't reveal it at all, he must have his own purpose, and there was no need to make trouble.
