Into the mountains

The sudden appearance of three bare-chested men made Qin Yanhui's heart tighten. When he came back to his senses and saw Bai Yunshang among the three, he immediately smiled and clenched his fists: "Qin Yan has seen three Taoist friends back. ”

"Squeak......

"Poof, hahaha......" Wen Baichuan, who opened the door, couldn't help but laugh wildly when he saw the unkempt and naked Ding Fugui and the three.

Bai Yunshang glared at him, and looked at Qin Yan with a calm expression: "I don't know why I came here for a long time?"

Qin Yan replied: "Poor Dao is entrusted by the city lord, please go to the city lord's mansion as a guest, in order to fulfill the friendship of the landlord." ”

Bai Li Xiu, who was behind Bai Yunshang, raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Since you are invited by the city lord, why did you only send you here? This move is inevitably rude. ”

Seeing that many people in the other guest rooms in the corridor were standing at the door and casting curious glances, Qin Yan smiled back and said, "Can you let Poor Dao into the house to talk in detail, it is a little inappropriate to speak here." ”

When several people heard this, they all turned their heads to look at Ding Fugui, who had been watching Qin Yanhui.

"Daoist, please. Ding Fugui's voice was still in the corridor, but the person had already entered the house.

"Wuzun !!" Qin Yan's pupils shrank suddenly when he saw this situation, and his heart was like a storm crashing on the shore.

"Huh?" Wen Baichuan glared at Fan Yao, who came with him, and immediately ordered him to obediently return to the house to accompany Feng Ran, who was still asleep.

After tidying up his clothes, Ding Fugui said to Qin Yan, who was sitting on the chair, "Since the Taoist chief claims to be from the Xuanji Pavilion, can he have a token in the pavilion?"

When Qin Yan heard this, he immediately got up and took out a pitch-black token engraved with many inscriptions from his arms, exuding a simple atmosphere, and respectfully presented it to Ding Fugui: "Senior, please take a look." ”

Ding Fugui's expression suddenly became serious after taking the token for inspection: "Since you are from the Xuanji Pavilion, why did you use inferior means yesterday?"

Qin Yanhui was so frightened by this question that his back broke out in a cold sweat, and he hurriedly bowed down and explained: "The seniors are angry, the juniors were originally ordered by the master to recruit imperial monks here to go to Shenshui City to prepare for the war. ”

"Well, who is your master?"

"Back to the predecessors, the name of the master is 'Wuxiangzi'. ”

Ding Fugui looked a little surprised when he heard this: "Oh, are you a Chongguang brother?"

Qin Yan replied: "The seniors know the family teacher?"

"It's more than awareness. The corners of Ding Fugui's mouth rose slightly: "When I see your master, I will bring a word for the old man, if he arrives in the holy realm one day, Ding Fugui will definitely come to congratulate him in person." ”

"Ah! You, you are the senior of the 'Soul Chasing Arrow' Ding?!" Qin Yanhui looked a little excited, and immediately clenched his fists and knelt on one knee, and his words were extremely sincere: "The juniors meet the seniors, the seniors heard from the mouth of the master many years ago, and it is really a blessing for the juniors to see the dignity today." ”

Ding Fugui helped Qin Yan back: "Those old things are all floating clouds, in terms of cultivation, your master can be regarded as the top in the old man's generation, and the old man is not as good." ”

After a period of greetings, Ding Fugui asked in detail about the battle situation in the Canglong Mountain Range. After learning about the abnormal situation of the Barbarian Beast Neidan, Qin Yanhui's face suddenly changed greatly, and he left the inn and went straight to the City Lord's Mansion with a solemn expression.

Ding Fugui and the others pondered around the border map of the Canglong Mountain Range that Qin Yan gave him when he returned.

When Feng Ran woke up, it was already three poles in the morning, and the six of them packed up and set foot on the road to Shenshui City again.

Along the way, there were many fleeing people with empty eyes and haggard faces, and some corpses lying in the wasteland and no one to bury them~ became the objects of hyenas and vultures foraging.

When Feng Ran and the others arrived at Samshui City, it was already dark. Feng Ran found that there were no soldiers stationed at the gate of Shenshui City at this time, there was no figure to be seen on the streets of the city, and the doors of all residential shops were wide open, and there was a pungent smell of blood in the air. A desolate and gloomy atmosphere enveloped the city.

Ding Fugui could only shake his head helplessly in the face of the current situation.

Feng Ran looked around, and he was extremely guilty in his heart. Everything that happens around you is because of you, but you can't change anything at the moment.

Bai Yunshang said in a deep voice: "Senior Ding, according to Daoist Qin, this Shenshui City should be heavily guarded, why is it empty?"

Ding Fugui: "The battle situation on the front line is changing rapidly, and the army may have gone elsewhere. ”

Baili Xiu: "Hey, if the Imperial Monks had worked together, the situation would not have been like this, it's a pity, it's a pity." ”

The group found a vacant mansion that looked rather ornate and lived in.

The unknown challenges ahead are making it difficult for everyone to sleep. Lying on the bed, Feng Ran tried to recall the exercises that had been left in his mind when he first woke up. However, he found that as soon as he looked at it, the clear exercises and martial arts of that day would immediately be blurred like a layer of fog, and at the same time, a strong stinging pain would appear in his brain. After several fruitless attempts, Kazezen had to give up.

The day was exposed to the white belly of the fish, and the long night quietly receded, Ding Fugui took out the map and looked at it for a while, leaving the sleeping five people who were blown out of the hut and flew towards the west of the city alone.

As soon as he came out of the West Gate, he found that a large open space in front of him was lined up in a phalanx of soldiers wearing silver armor, which was the imperial 'barbarian hunting army' that Qin Yan replied to.

Ding Fugui looked at the army commander in front of him who shouted and shook the sky, and took a breath: "Sure enough, it's here." ”

When he returned to the hut, Kazeran and the others were already sitting in the house waiting. Seeing Ding Fugui take out the map, everyone surrounded him.

Ding Fugui pointed to the map and said, "The imperial army is stationed here, presumably the army of barbarian beasts is near here, and we can go around here and enter the mountains." After seeing everyone nodding, Ding Fugui continued: "The Canglong Mountain Range is dangerous and abnormal, so the old man will open the way in front, Yun Shang will be behind, Baichuan and the three of you are responsible for the safety of the young master, you need to be extra cautious after entering the mountain, and do not act recklessly." ”

"Yes!"

After the group bypassed the imperial army, they walked for nearly an hour, and the emerald green peaks surrounded by clouds and mist loomed in front of everyone. If you just look at the appearance, no one would have thought that the Canglong Mountain Range, which looked strange and beautiful like an ink painting scroll, would actually be a dangerous place that stopped the monks of the Raging Lan Empire.

"Roaring ......"

From the depths of the mountain range, there was a terrifying roar of brute beasts.

Ding Fugui: "Young master, Aotian's predecessors once said that the point of light on the map in your mind is the location of the Nine Dragon Sword fragments, I wonder if the young master has sensed the breath of the Nine Dragon Sword here?"

Hearing this, Feng Ran immediately sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and intently sensed the light spots in his head that flickered at the same rate as his heartbeat.

After a while, seeing the sweaty Feng Ran open his eyes and shook his head helplessly, Ding Fugui comforted: "Young master, don't be discouraged, presumably your current cultivation is not enough to open the shackles in your body, so let's take a step at a time." ”

Fan Yao picked up Feng Ran and wiped the sweat beads from his forehead.

As Feng Ran and the others got closer and closer to the Canglong Mountain Range, the roars of the brute beasts in the mountains gradually increased.

Looking at the secluded and mysterious lush woods in front of them, everyone faintly felt a hint of danger.

Ding Fugui stood in place and stared at the woods for a long time before he spoke: "There are no less than a hundred species of barbarian beasts in this Canglong Mountain Range, all of which are led by the highest cultivation beasts in each group. ”

Bai Yunshang: "Senior, what should we do next?"

Ding Fugui: "The cultivation of the outer beasts is uneven, let's go into the mountains to find a place to rest and then think about it in the long run." ”

The group shuttled through the dark and dense forest, and they never heard a strange sound except for the occasional roar of a distant beast. The forest was overgrown with weeds and extremely humid, and the dense fog rolling within it could be clearly seen from the scattered sunlight. The clothes on his body were already soaked in the martial arts realm, and the sticking to his body made his actions seem quite funny.

Seeing this, Baili Xiu immediately put his palm on Feng Ran's shoulder, and the Yuan Force in his body gushed out along the palm of his hand, wrapping Feng Ran's body, making the moisture on his clothes dissipate in an instant. Feng Ran looked up at Baili Xiu beside him, and a warm current flowed slowly in his heart.

"Shhh...... Hiss ......"

At this moment, a sudden strange noise in the grass made Ding Fugui, who was opening the way in front, immediately stop, and scanned the wolf's tail grass several feet high around him with a vigilant face. Seeing this, Wen Baichuan and the three of them quickly closed together and surrounded Feng Ran with their backs.

As the sound got closer and closer, Bai Yunshang decisively raised his hand and swung a sword qi to raze the grass on the left to the ground. The two snake-like beasts with a body length of nearly two meters, covered with dark green scales, and the crimson snake beasts on the top of their heads were suddenly revealed. was squirming with a huge body, spitting purple letters at Feng Ran and the others.

Ding Fugui: "It's the 'Danding Dead Snake', everyone be careful, this thing is highly poisonous!"

As soon as his words fell, he saw a crimson light flash in the eyes of the two dead snakes, and a piercing scream came out of his mouth, and he straightened up and shot towards everyone, followed by the transparent slime that came out of his mouth.

Seeing this, Bai Yunshang immediately raised his sword and rushed forward, blocking in front of everyone. With a slight slash of the long sword in his hand, the venom of the dead snake was blocked about a foot in front of him, and a trace of white smoke came out of it as it fell to the ground.

"Ah, it's the sword qi barrier!! Fan Yao exclaimed in his heart.

It was too late, and the two dead snakes had opened their bloody mouths and came to everyone when Bai Yunshang blocked his venom. The tip of the five-inch-long fangs was still shining with a little bit of crystal.

"Poof!"

Feng Ran, who was surrounded in the middle, only heard the sound of two sword qi breaking through the air, and after Wen Baichuan and the three of them dispersed, he saw Bai Yunshang grabbing two snake galls the size of a baby's fist and walking towards him. The bodies of the two dead snakes on the ground had been cut into several pieces by the sword, and the blood had stained a large area of the ground red.

"Hey, Sect Master Bai, this snake meat is a big supplement, don't waste it. As he spoke, Bailixiu came to the turf clearing, wanting to pick up the remains of the dead snake on the ground and put them in a storage bag.

"Hiss......"

"Hiss......"

At this moment, the voice of the dead snake in the grass on the left side of Baili Xiu suddenly rose. Three five-foot dead snakes took advantage of the bending to open their mouths and rush towards it.
