As the name suggests, there is not a single visible mountain road. The terrain here is rugged, overgrown with weeds, full of trees and forests, there are few people, and no one has ever come and gone, but the existence of all things must have his role, and if you want to quickly reach Shaking Light City from Tianji City, it is undoubtedly a shortcut to climb over the secluded path mountain.

The moonlight had fallen, and the glimmer of the morning light slowly swept through the Shaking Light City, and in an instant the black eaves were dyed pale yellow. The soldiers defending the city blew out the oil lamps, stretched hard, yawned, and shook their spirits before pulling the gates open.

One day, it began.

The city gate opened, and a scarlet carriage galloped out, so frightened that the soldiers defending the city almost didn't stand firm, staggered, and scolded angrily: "Hey, look for death!"

The carriage could no longer hear their scolding, and it galloped towards the secluded mountain, and in the blink of an eye it had thrown off the city gate half a mile away. The man who sat in front of the carriage and drove the horse wore a silver-white mask that glowed golden in the shimmer of the morning light. Except for a pair of deep eyes and hair that blocked the upper half of his face, no one knew what he looked like. He was dressed in a dark blue robe, not very large, nor thin, and no one could deduce his age from it.

The carriage soon set foot on the secluded mountain, and the horse's hooves stepped over the wild grass higher than the horse, and pressed the wild grass in the mountain, and in an instant, a mountain road wide with a carriage stretched out. But such a mountain path will soon be occupied by wild grass, because the frequency of people coming and going is much slower than the growth rate of wild grass.

On the other side of Shaking Light City, on the outskirts of Tianji City, there is a Fengwu Mountain. The mountain gate of Fengwu Mountain was also pushed open in the first rays of sunlight in the early morning, and a vigorous horse galloped out from inside, and the horse's hooves stepped over the sand and gravel on the mountain road, and suddenly raised billowing sand and dust. The disciple who opened the door also fell to the door in a panic, looked at the man in green clothes on the horse, scratched his head in surprise, and said, "Palm, master?"

The horses coming down from Fengwu Mountain also rushed towards Youjing Mountain, and the man on the horse had a long black beard, a pale face, and a trace of sweat overflowing from the shallow wrinkles, looking anxious and tired, as if he was in a hurry to save people. And this person is the head of Fengwu Mountain in the mouth of the disciple of the gatekeeper - Gu Xuhe.

In less than half an hour, the sunlight had bloomed from the glimmer into a golden bright light, shining through the mountains and forests, shining on the flowers and plants on the side of the horse's hooves, and shining into the eyes of Gu Yuhe.

The mountains and forests are beautiful, and the birds are singing in unison. But Gu Yu had no way to appreciate it, he had only one goal in mind, to climb over the mountain at a faster speed, he raised his long whip, whipped the horse's buttocks, and shouted: "Ride, ride, drive!" The sound echoed in the mountains and forests for a long time.

The horse was whipped and instinctively quickened its pace. The wild grass in front of him fell faster, revealing greener and taller grass, as if there was endless grass in front of him, blocking the endless road.

But this was not the case, the green was soon drowned, and what appeared in front of Gu Yuhe was not the brown gate of Shaking Light City, nor the flat ground full of flying sand, but a snow-white horse and a vermilion carriage, and of course, a stranger wearing a white mask in a dark blue robe in front of the car.

Seeing this, Gu Xianghe hurriedly tightened the reins of the horse, the horse raised its head to the sky and let out a long roar, and when the horse's hooves slowly landed, Gu Xuhe was less than a meter away from the white-masked man!

Gu Yuhe patted the frightened horse, looked at the person wearing a white mask in front of him, and thought it was a passerby like himself. At this time, he almost hit someone, although there was no danger, but he still politely said, "I'm sorry." Then he reined in the horse's head and tried to get around the left side of the red carriage.

Gu Xianghe's horse's hooves were just mentioned, and at this time, he suddenly saw a tall tree next to the carriage "creak" in half from the middle, and the lush tail of the tree drove on the red carriage, blocking Gu Xuhe's road.

Gu Xuhe immediately looked vigilantly at the man wearing the white mask, and his years of experience in the rivers and lakes made him have a sharper intuition, and he asked, "Brother Tai, what does this mean?"

It turned out that this tree was not blown by the wind, but someone used a control technique to tear off the palm-thick tree in front of him in an instant, and thus fell in front of Gu Yuhe's eyes.

In front of him, there was no one else except the man in the white mask. Obviously, the person in front of you is not friend or foe.

Sure enough, the man wearing the white mask didn't beat around the bush and said coldly, "Leave the Qi Spirit Pill behind." ”

As soon as these words came out, Gu Yuhe's heart tightened, he originally thought that the person in front of him was just an ordinary thief who robbed the way of wealth, but he didn't want this person to be eyeing what he regarded as his life - "Qi Ling Pill"!

What made him even more panicked and worried was that he had never mentioned the matter of having the Qi Spirit Pill to anyone, how did the person in front of him know about it? Moreover, it can be seen from the unfazed state of sitting there that this person is not very human, otherwise he would not dare to stand in the way of his dignified Wushan master. Gu Yuhe never expected that such a tricky thing would be encountered at such a critical juncture.

Gu Yuhe said in a solemn tone and asked, "Who are you?"

The man in the white mask spoke cleanly and neatly, and said in an unusually calm tone: "I can't tell you, you consciously leave the Qi Spirit Pill, I have to do it today." ”

Gu Xuhe is a cautious person, he is good at observing words and feelings, he can hear this young man wearing a mask, although the tone in these words is steady, but the timbre seems green, like a teenager of sixteen or seventeen. This surprised him even more, how could a boy who was only sixteen or seventeen years old dare to run to Youjing Mountain to block his avenue?

As the saying goes, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, and this young man must have no knowledge, so he is not surprised to go to his front to get an axe.

Thinking like this, Gu Yuhe's heart fell with a big stone, and he seemed full of confidence, and threatened: "Do you recognize who the old man is?"

The young man pronounced the words clearly, and replied word by word: "What does the head of Fengwu Mountain want." ”

This tone frightened Gu He even more, and the big stone that was put down in his heart was instantly pressed down again, and he was directly pressed out of breath, and the beads of sweat that were the size of beans finally condensed and fell from his wrinkles.

The young man then said slowly: "You want to save the sect master of the Hundred Yuan Sect, Chen Chuxing. But in fact, judging from Chen Chuxing's condition, your Qi Ling Pill can't save his life at all. Moreover, in a short period of time, he can't die, you don't have to be in such a hurry, alchemy overnight, and send pills overnight. ”

Gu Xuhe was even more shocked when he heard the young man's words, and the people in front of him not only knew that he was Gu Xuhe, the head of Fengwu Mountain, but also knew why he was going on this trip, and even saw on his tired face where the Qi Ling Pill in his arms came from and what he did last night.

Who is the person in front of him? Why is he blocking his way? Why did he grab the Qi Ling Pill?

One puzzle after another and layers of worries permeated Gu Yuhe's heart, and he began to hesitate and be at a loss for what to do, and the sweat in his palms soaked the reins of the horse. This may be the first time in decades that he has felt such a coercive sense of oppression!

The young man didn't seem to be in a hurry, quietly waiting for Gu Yuhe to digest the surprise in front of him. He only gently wifted the long hair on the horse's head, looking so leisurely and calm.

I don't know how long time has passed, but Gu Yu said before he spoke: "What do you want the old man to do with this Qi Ling Pill?"

In the quarter of an hour of his contemplation, he was more guessing who the person in front of him was, but no matter how he listed the characters in his memory in his mind, he could never find a match for the person in front of him. But no matter who the person in front of him is, the person who can know all this will not be the person he can easily contend with. Knowing this well, Gu Yu knew that maybe the young man in front of him was just in charge of talking, and there was someone behind the scenes who pushed him away. And this person, what does he want his Qi Ling Pill for? Is all this a good game? This is the core of the puzzle in his heart.

The young man patted the horse's head lightly and said unhurriedly: "You don't need to know, you just need to answer whether to pay or not to pay." ”

This categorical tone made Gu Xuhe fall into a dilemma again, he shook his head, and said: "Since you know the ins and outs of the old man, you should also know that Chen Chuxing's life is the life of the old man, and the old man can't ignore him." ”

The boy looked up at the sky, and the sunlight shone through the branches of the tree on his silver-white mask, reflecting it in a golden yellow. The temperature of the sun does not drive away the coldness of the mask.

The young man looked meaningfully at Gu Xuhe, Gu Xuhe instinctively solemnized his eyes, if he hadn't deduced the age of the person in front of him, he might indeed have retreated because of the desire to survive, but the person in front of him was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, a teenager who had not yet reached adulthood, even if he was talented, he could not grow to his height. The person in front of him could never be his opponent, and such a thought had taken root in Gu Yuhe's heart at this moment, giving him the confidence and courage to refuse.

The young man had already understood Gu Xuhe's attitude and decision, and said coldly: "It is your responsibility to repay your kindness, and it is my task to seize the Qi Spirit Pill from you, let's go our separate ways." ”

Gu Xuhe glanced around vigilantly, he categorically didn't expect that one day he would be called by a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, let alone that he would have any scruples because of this, and he seemed so hesitant and embarrassed.

When Gu Xuhe was sure that there was no one else around, he laughed unconsciously and exclaimed, "Hahaha, yes!
