Yan Lan's footsteps froze suddenly, and he read an unusual feeling from Wang Qi's voice.

"Could it be that this is a dead end?"

Yan Lan stared and saw that the stone road was wide and narrow, stretching towards the other side of the mountainside.

The stone path is covered with knee-high weeds, the branches of ancient trees on both sides are scattered in the center of the stone path, and many vines also hang down to the stone path at will, as if no one has cleaned it up for many years, and it is obvious that it is a deserted stone road that has long been uninhabited.

The path on the right is paved with stone steps, and the stones are a little smooth because they have been trampled on for many years.

Yan Lan looked in the direction of the abandoned stone path on the left, frowned and asked, "Senior Brother Wang, this stone path seems to have been abandoned for a long time, where does it lead? Why did you stop me from taking this stone path?"

Yan Lan originally wanted to use his spiritual sense to probe, but the precepts of Tiangangmen clearly stated that disciples were forbidden to use spiritual sense to investigate in the door at will.

After thinking about it, Yan Lan still decided to give up the investigation, in case he was discovered by the elders and expelled from the division, the gains outweighed the losses.

At this time, Wang Qi's expression was extremely solemn, he pursed his lips, and said coldly: "This is the forbidden place of this sect, and no disciple can set foot on this stone path, which is what the head of this sect and many elders have repeatedly admonished." There were a few disciples who did not believe in this evil and stepped into this path without permission, but as a result, there was no return, and no one was seen alive or dead. I remember that a senior brother said that Master Qingxuan was still there at that time, but he didn't go to search, and Master Qingxuan warned all the disciples that they must not go to search for the missing disciples, because they will never come back. ”

"Oh, so weird, where does this stone path lead? Is there any mysterious existence at the end of the stone road?" Yan Lan stood quietly at the entrance of the stone road, trying his best to look into the distance, because the stone road was curved and winding down the mountain, and there were branches and vines blocking it, and he could only see more than twenty zhang away.

After thinking for a moment and not being able to think of a reason, Yan Lan frowned and asked with doubts: "Could it be that the head of the Tiangang Sect and the elders just sit back and watch its existence, not afraid that there will be any abnormalities that will hurt the disciples of the sect or endanger the safety of the sect?"

Wang Qi shook his head blankly and said, "I don't know the situation either, but the head and the elders all say that as long as you don't step into it, there will be no danger. ”

Yan Lan nodded thoughtfully, retracted the foot that had already stepped further, and retreated to the original mountain path.

Wang Qi looked at the end of the deserted stone road, although he didn't see anything abnormal, but the fear in his eyes became more and more obvious, he patted Yan Lan's shoulder, and said softly: "Let's go, Senior Brother Yan Lan, although it is not dangerous if you don't go in, but when I see this road, my heart is cold, let's leave quickly." ”

Yan Lan stared at Wang Qi's eyes, the fear from the depths of his soul was indeed not pretended, he turned his head and glanced at the mysterious stone road, nodded, and said to Wang Qi: "Senior Brother Wang, you go back first, I still want to go down the mountain to have a look." ”

Wang Qi was slightly stunned, nodded and said, "Okay, Senior Brother Yanlan, then I'll go back first, don't enter this stone path!"

Yan Lan smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I don't want to die yet!"

Wang Qi glanced at Yan Lan and turned back.

Yan Lan looked at the mysterious stone path for a while, and couldn't see why, so he continued to walk down the mountain along the path on the right.

However, this path is completely opposite to the direction of the mysterious stone path, Yan Lan walked for a stick of incense for a while, the trail has not yet reached the end, and he has not seen anything strange, at this time the sky is already bright, he is worried that Ziyi will find him, so he decided to return to the dormitory.

After walking for about two incense sticks, and there were still hundreds of zhang away from the dormitory, Yan Lan saw five disciples in front of him talking and laughing while walking down the mountain.

"Wang Qi, that guy, it's really a death, Junior Brother Yan Lan only offended Senior Brother Qin yesterday, and he is close to Yan Lan today, don't you say you're looking for a fight?"

"Hehe, this little rabbit cub has been beaten a lot anyway, and he must be used to it. ”

"But this time it's different, this time it's Senior Brother Zhao Lie who did it himself, and Wang Qi is afraid that he will have to break his muscles and bones. ”

"Yes, Senior Brother Zhao Lie has a hot temperament, as soon as he came out of the customs this morning, he heard that his good brother Qin Hao was beaten by the newcomer Yan Lan, and he was angry, and he saw Wang Qi and Yan Lan talking and laughing, Wang Qi really hit the knife. ”

"Senior Brother Zhao Lie has been in retreat for a long time this time, so he must have made a lot of progress in his cultivation. ”

“......”

Yan Lan heard those disciples talking and laughing loudly from afar, mentioning Wang Qi's matter, his heart was cold, his eyes were angry, and he immediately ran towards the mountain with his spiritual power.

The five disciples only felt a figure flying past them, and only one of them had sharp eyes, and said softly, "That person, it seems to be Yan Lan." ”

"Ha, hurry up the mountain and watch the show, go!"

The five of them hit it off and ran quickly towards the mountain.

A hundred zhang away, Yan Lan only had a few breaths to rush to the front of the Dao Hall.

At this time, Yan Lan had already heard some noise coming from the dormitory, and Wang Qi's screams were mixed in with it, which was particularly harsh.

"These bastards!"

Yan Lan scolded fiercely, her fists clenched violently, and she rushed into the dormitory.

Stepping into the dormitory, Yan Lan saw more than 200 people gathered together, in the center of the crowd, Wang Qi's lips were bright red blood, his face was pale, and he was trembling, and he was carried in his hand by a burly middle-aged man.

"Rabbit cub, my brother was beaten by Yan Lan's newcomer, you are very happy, right, I went to shoot someone's ass early in the morning, I know that I haven't cleaned you up for a long time, your bones are itchy, Lao Tzu will break one of your hands today, see if you dare to make friends with someone Lao Tzu doesn't like next time." ”

The middle-aged man snorted in a thick voice, his broad palm raised high, and the spiritual power on his palm fluctuated vigorously.

Wang Qi looked at the hand that was about to slap heavily on him in fear, and his eyes showed a look of despair. He was too weak, and in front of the middle-aged man who cultivated in the middle of Yuan Dan, he was simply a powerless child, and he was powerless to resist at all.

What's more, there are hundreds of people around, as long as he shows a trace of resistance and dissatisfaction, let alone take a heavy blow, even the saliva of those people can drown him.

In the crowd of spectators around, several disciples shook their heads and sighed, obviously they sympathized with Wang Qi, but they were powerless to rescue him, the strength of the middle-aged man, even if a few of them joined forces, they couldn't win.

Most of the rest of the disciples were smiling with schadenfreude, most of them were disciples of the Qin Gang and the Lie Gang, and they were naturally happy to see Wang Qi, who was good friends with Yan Lan, being beaten.

"Stop, if you do it, your arm will be broken!"

Suddenly, an angry voice resounded through the dormitory.

Hearing this, Elder Ren in the Dao Hall grinned at the corners of his mouth.
