After sleeping for a while, Li Siwen pushed open the window of the room, and sure enough, as Chen Xiangyun said, it snowed early this morning.

White snowflakes fell, making the already cold temperature even colder.

After a brief breakfast, the innkeeper bought a few pieces of dry food, and the three of them set out on a journey to the barren mountain behind the town.

Along the way, Chen Xiangyun told them about the mountain, which sounded very bizarre, just like the black stones, dead trees and barren grass they encountered along the way.

Chen Xiangyun said that this barren mountain has a name, and the reason why it has such a name is because it was a very prosperous county hanging a long time ago, and there is still a very spiritual shrine on this mountain.

In the past, there were a large number of outsiders here every day, and those devout believers began to climb the mountain before the sun rose, and climbed to the shrine pile step by step, and put the tribute melons and fruits they carried in front of the shrine that they were destined for.

Etiquette must also be honored during worship, and incense and bathing can be omitted, but neat and clean clothing must be observed.

Later, I don't know why, this aura is sufficient, and there will be rainbow peaks after the rain, and all the trees are withered for a while, and there is no grass and the cry of the yin spirit in the mountain can be heard every night.

The cattle and sheep in the village began to die frequently, inexplicably, the children would wake up two or three times in the night, and each time they woke up, they were silent at first, and then their faces turned pale, and they howled and shouted, especially the babies of about one year old reacted the most, and finally the old people in the town died one after another, and the old people died and the young people began to get sick again, just like the plague.

Later, many people who lived here left one after another, leaving only those who were not afraid of death and outsiders.

This place is very close to Taihang Mountain, every year to dig ginseng season in the town will come a lot of ginseng digging outsiders, but the strange thing is that outsiders can go here safely, but as long as it is a local, especially those who leave and come back, as soon as they return here, they will be inexplicably seriously ill.

When Chen Xiangyun finished saying this, the three of them had already walked halfway up the mountain.

Li Siwen stood on a raised stone, looked at the way he came, and then looked at the top of the black mountain.

Bancho said with some gasp: "Master, I think this mountain is a little abnormal, even with my cultivation ability, it is not a problem to climb this kind of mountain peak of less than two thousand meters. ”

"But how do I feel that when I walk into this mountain, the ability in my body begins to drain, and it drains quickly, so I feel that this mountain is not normal."

Even a person whose physical strength is in the prime of life like Ban Chop can feel it, and the loss of ability, not to mention Chen Xiangyun's current situation.

After all, he is a person who has entered the old age, and the word half-stepping into the earth is also very suitable to describe him, Chen Xiangyun just propped his hands on his legs, panting heavily, and his breath was a little disordered.

The fatigue of climbing the mountain, coupled with the loss of cultivation in his body, made him look a few years older, and the furrows on his face suddenly increased by four or five.

Li Siwen was still standing on the raised stone, and he took out the map that Chen Xiangyun had given him before, and the specific location of the mark on the map had changed decades ago, but this did not affect the judgment of the overall topography of the mountain.

"Chen Xiangyun, do you know? If we walk along this road for a while, we will see the former shrine pile. ”

When it comes to the shrine pile, Chen Xiangyun certainly remembers that it was some things that his great-grandfather told him when he was still alive.

Their Chen family was a great family in the era, and their grandfather went to many places where the spiritual power of Huaguo gathered, including this 'Zijun Mountain'. In particular, the shrine is different from other places.

But since my grandfather came back from 'Zijun Mountain', he carried a seed of Yin Spirit Flower in his hand, and before he died, he handed over the seed to Chen Xiangyun, who was extremely talented in the Chen family at that time, and warned him.

'You can't plant the flower of the living yin spirit, and you can't look at the map of the spiritual vein; If you are not a Grandmaster of Dao Jin, you cannot enter the 'Zijun Mountain'. ’

Moreover, before his great-grandfather died, for the first time, he opened his very well-concealed left hand to the crowd. I saw that my great-grandfather's left hand was completely black, and the whole hand looked normal except for the exposed palm, and the place above the wrist covered by the clothes was like a section of charred and dry bones.

Chen Xiangyun, thinking of his grandfather's warning to him, and seeing the injury on his grandfather's hand in person, the shock could not be calmed down for a long time, you must know that his grandfather was the only person in the Chen family who entered the Great Grandmaster of Dao Jin.

If there is something hidden in the 'Zijun Mountain' that even his grandfather can't deal with, then how can he, Chen Xiangyun, deal with it?

However, he is now a defeated general under Li Siwen, and he has recognized Li Siwen as the master, and the master's orders must be respected even if he goes up the knife mountain and goes down to the oil pot.

"Master, do we really want to go on? You've heard me tell me so many strange things about the shrine pile, don't you feel weird and scared at all? ”

"I don't know if you've heard a word, the land where yin qi is flourishing is abundant, and the flower of yin spirit. Since I promised to help my father beg the Shen family, I will naturally keep my promise and obtain the Yin Spirit Flower, and besides, what kind of weirdness I have never seen before. Let's go. ”

Li Siwen took out a black pill from his arms and handed it to Ban Chop and Chen Xiangyun.

"Eating this pill can help you avoid the poisonous aura here."

Half Slash has always obeyed Li Siwen's words, so he ate it without saying a word, and in an instant, he felt a warm current in his body, swimming in his seven meridians and eight veins, making him feel unusually comfortable, his body was a lot lighter, although his physical strength could not immediately rise back to the previous level, but he no longer felt the loss of physical strength.

After Chen Xiangyun ate it, he felt the same as a half-chop. While he was amazed by Li Siwen's talent, he was also thinking that his Chen clan's production of pills in China was also top-notch, this kind of elixir that could immediately shield yin qi and help cultivators recover their cultivation, he really couldn't refine it.

In fact, alchemy is a technique, and there are many ways to practice the techniques of most sects, but only the dojo can do alchemy, and this disciple who is specifically responsible for alchemy can use it for decades to study it only by doing alchemy.

However, it is obvious that Li Siwen's cultivation route is not Dao cultivation, so how did his alchemy come about? And how could this young man in his twenties be able to refine such a pure medicinal effect of the 'Yin Avoiding Pill'?

Just when Chen Xiangyun was thinking about what was wrong, Li Siwen and Li Chu had already walked away, and Chen Xiangyun didn't dare to ask them to stop where they were and wait for him, so he could only catch up with them quickly with dry food on his back.

The so-called shrine pile is really a real thing, just like the name, and it is indeed made up of countless shrines stacked together.
