Chapter 64: The Nine Mysterious Gates

With Dugu Takihyun reminded, Zheng Yan also heard some subtle movements, but he didn't jump back outside the wall, but just crawled on the tiger skin wall, and the little wolf in his arms said helplessly, "Are you a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers or is you here to find death?"

Zheng Yan smiled and didn't answer, and after a while, there were footsteps under the wall, it seemed to be two people, and they were talking softly,

"Senior brother, where are we going to check? Deacon Zhou said that there is only one person who broke into the valley, and it is definitely not a character that our brothers can deal with if they can break through our door protection array.

Zheng Yan and the little wolf on the road at the head of the wall looked at each other and were a little surprised, there was actually a large gate protection array, and it had already been noticed by others, it seemed that there were many people here, deacons and elders, and it was obviously the existence of a sect.

"What so much nonsense!How did I find out that you have become more and more timid since you encountered those young people of the Zheng family a few days ago!",

"No, senior brother, those people are really powerful, Elder Liu is a real authentic realm, but he was beaten down by the young man named Zheng Xingye in a few rounds, they didn't even have a sword, and the seven or eight people around Elder Liu didn't get a good deal together, according to the young man, if he wasn't short of time, he would definitely visit our lair, it's really domineering, I heard that several people, including Elder Liu, were still shaking their legs until they came back, and you still laughed at them, I think it must be true",

"Don't frame it, I didn't make fun of Elder Liu and Senior Brother Qiao, you want to harm me, but then again, Elder Wang and they also met a few young people of the Zheng family in Shizuizi, at the beginning, they saw a few beautiful women and wanted to flirt, maybe they still had the intention of robbing people, but they were cleaned up very badly by a few delicate girls, but you don't have to worry, this is in Taihua Mountain, according to the rules, no matter how powerful his Zheng family is, he must be restrained, not to mention that this Taihua is not the boundary of his Great Zhou."

As the voice gradually became inaudible, the two had already walked out of the gate to the south, Zheng Yan turned over and looked up at the already dim sky dome a little distracted, the little wolf squatted on his chest and looked down without speaking. The jungle was cloudy and the sun was dappled, and the whole world was a little silent and serene, and it was probably afternoon, winter, but it was like spring.

The little wolf probably had some impatience, and gently stepped on Zheng Yan a few times with his two front paws, Zheng Yan sat up at the corners of his mouth and sat up and held her in his arms and stroked her, his eyes were still a little thoughtful, and then he let go of his hot hands, his face was full of embarrassment, "Sorry, I forgot, I was thinking about things just now, the main thing is that you look too cute now",

Dugu Takihyun didn't seem to care, tilted his head and squatted on Zheng Yan's lap waiting for his next words, Zheng Yan leaned against the female wall and groaned. I'm a little behind, the others have already gone north through here a few days ago, and it will take us at least four days to get to Beifu Mountain, okay, let's not talk about this, this should be a hidden sect, but it must not be a good kind to be able to open an altar and set up a sect here, I am indeed very curious about the Soul Binding Land, but let's wait back and tell the clan about what happened here, maybe they already know it is not necessarily, let's continue to go north",

The little wolf opened his mouth and said, "Although we have only been together for two or three days, I can also see that you will not give up easily on the things you care about, what have you found or thought of? Maybe I can help you with your advice, after all, I know more about this place than you."

Zheng Yan subconsciously raised his hand to stroke it again, the little wolf suddenly opened his mouth and bit it, it was estimated that he was really annoyed, Zheng Yan looked at the two rows of tooth marks on his hands and was a little embarrassed, and reluctantly smiled "There is a black cat that often goes to the house, and the tiger is as cute as you look, I am used to it, alas, it really makes sense for men not to have cats",

"If you don't want to say it, forget it, then let's continue through the valley",

The little wolf was about to jump off Zheng Yan's lap as he spoke, Zheng Yan suddenly pounced forward and hugged it into his arms, and at the same time rolled forward to support the ground with one hand, and the next moment he had already climbed down the three-zhang high tiger skin wall, and after landing, he bowed down and ran left and right, jumping to the edge of the jungle in the blink of an eye, and then looking back at the wall, there was a middle-aged man in a dark red brocade with a long knife in his hand, and his surprised expression had not yet completely fallen, probably because he didn't expect Zheng Yan's skills to be so agile, a young man in white with a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other hand fell lightly beside the man in black, and the arrow lightly pointed to Zheng Yan who was more than ten zhang away, looking extremely conceited。

"Zheng Yan run, that man in white is a monk who specializes in archery, such a person is very powerful in Taihua", the little wolf in his arms reminded urgently, Zheng Yan didn't stop much when he heard this, and began to slowly retreat into the depths of the jungle,

At the moment when the trees completely blocked the sight of both sides, Zheng Yan saw that the young man's fingers pinching the arrow feathers were released, and without any hesitation, he jumped onto a big tree, holding the little wolf in one hand and already holding the blue bridge in the other.

Suddenly, an arrow shot from a strange angle, without a little momentum, Zheng Yan subconsciously waved the dagger, with a crisp gold-iron strike and a cluster of sparks, the arrow was fixed on the trunk of the tree on Zheng Yan's side, and the next moment the bark around the arrow began to lose its vitality, Zheng Yan secretly scolded and didn't care about anything else, jumped off the tree and began to run wildly in the jungle,

The direction was very difficult to grasp, but fortunately there was a little wolf to remind him, first to the south, then to the west, until the arrows behind him no longer appeared, and then began to run north.

The little wolf seemed to be a little comfortable or gloating in Zheng Yan's arms, "This light blue dagger is good, it can actually break the arrow with divine sense, and it's a shame that that guy didn't attach a lot of Yuan Shen to the arrow."

Zheng Yan took a good breath again, and said angrily, "If I get close, I can make him unable to use his divine sense."

"Well, it's true, this dagger is indeed a magic weapon of the god soul type, and this spear head, do you usually practice witchcraft spells?",

"I think, but you have to have time, that thing is too energy-consuming, and cultivating this thing in our family will be despised, in the clan, even if you don't have the talent to practice and can only take the path of pure martial cultivation, you won't be looked down upon, but if you practice spells, it's troublesome, it's okay as a spice for spare time."

"You don't want to go back, do you? I've heard Mr. Yang say that some people like to babble when they think quickly, and what is the powder you just sprinkled, it smells so bad."

Zheng Yan suddenly stopped, leaned his body behind a thick tree and listened to something, and after a while, he looked down at the little wolf in his arms and said with a smile: "If I put you here, will you definitely die?"

The little wolf nodded and said, "Anyway, I definitely can't escape that archer, with his means, he can easily kill a cowardly warlock, and for most demon cultivators, the narrow vision is even more fatal, which is also the reason why demon cultivators must transform into human form",

Zheng Yan moved his neck and said softly, "I have been chased and killed along the way, this time I want to try to see if I can kill back, his bow and arrows are 100 shots, and my gun can do it",

"You know?",

"I don't know, okay, I just feel, although I've always felt inaccurate, how about you help me make the bait?",

"Can you not do it? I'm afraid of pain, although it doesn't matter if I die, but death is not a comfortable thing for anyone, then again, don't you think I'm cute?

Zheng Yan was a little helpless, these days I can't understand this guy's temperament, the Nine Heavens Fairy has long been gone, and she doesn't even bother to pretend to be elegant and arrogant, thousands of years of accumulation, a hundred years of calligraphy and ink infection, is it back to basics now?

"Well, since you insist on me to be the bait, just remember that you have hurt me deeply",

Zheng Yan was helpless, "Okay, don't do it, did you pay attention just now? There is a black forest falcon on the shoulder of that archer",

"It's just an ordinary forest falcon, maybe it will open up some intelligence, that guy's speed is not slower than that of a flash falcon, even the feather people of the Western Wilderness may not be able to hunt or capture, what do you want to do?"

Zheng Yan looked up at the lush canopy and was a little helpless, there is that thing that is out of the way and will definitely not be able to escape the enemy's tracking, it seems that he can only go out of the valley, wait, do you want to use the stupidest method?

Thinking of this, Zheng Yan quickly took out a coat from his backpack, split a few branches to support a dummy, and then pressed down a branch and tied a stone, so that the stone happened to be dragged by the branch and slid on the ground, and the branch also drove the dummy to swing slightly, which should be able to deceive the forest falcon, and finally made some traces of escape in the northwest direction, and then took the little wolf to the east.

After a while, two figures appeared on a forest floor, the young man in white squatted on the ground and looked at a pair of footprints and smiled silently, seemed to be very interested, and his expression was still a little evil, and the middle-aged man standing on the side said indifferently, "Senior Brother Wu, you are too underestimated enemy, just now he took us around a few circles, and he has messed up all the traces, but you are enjoying the pleasure of hunting for a long time",

The young man chuckled and said, "Senior brother, don't blame, this is indeed the last place where his traces disappeared, deliberately leading us to this way, either he goes back to the temple, or he really leaves in the northwest direction, if he goes back, it's none of our business, if he leaves... , soldiers are not tired of deceit, and most of the children of the Zheng family are familiar with the art of war",

Seeing that the young man got up and wanted to chase in the northwest direction, the middle-aged man's expression finally became cold, "Senior brother, you are not only arrogant, but also a little self-inflicted, what if you catch up? Do you really want to kill him? The master of the door means to drive away",

The young man was also a little displeased, and said indifferently, "The Zheng family has a death quota for every trial, we have also killed it in previous years, why can't we kill it this year?" If we let them escape easily like this, they will be even more unscrupulous in entering and exiting our sect, and then we will be really troublesome, the master of the sect has been too cautious recently, and he doesn't care about the future, what can those newcomers give us!", he raised his hand and released Lin Falcon, and he also flew away.

The middle-aged man's eyes were gloomy, but he finally followed.

Zheng Yan quickly approached the black tiger skin wall, and his feet became lighter and lighter, avoiding many traps, and it was easy to do this with his current martial arts cultivation and control of strength.

The little wolf in his arms looked at all this with surprise, "Your control of power is simply exquisite, every incredible turn, every emergency stop and force, I have never seen it in others, the key is that you can still make every movement silent, is this a spell? But I didn't feel any breath fluctuations, yes, you also controlled the airflow brought by your body movements to the minimum reaction, it's just like... Like a ghost",

Zheng Yan said indifferently, "Everyone has potential and talent that can be explored, I can indeed control almost every muscle in my body at will, of course, I have paid a lot of price for training, since I have said this, let me say more, your supernatural power has too many drawbacks, but there is still a lot of room for improvement, wait until you go back to Yiwang Mountain to find Fengyi to help you carve it",

While talking, Zheng Yan found a shallow pit, which was covered with half-human-tall weeds, and after carefully arranging it, he stepped in, preparing to wait until it was dark before diving in.

"The big man in black on the wall stabbed us before, I think his qi machine operation and knife style are a little familiar, and then I think about it and it seems to be somewhat similar to the two people I met some time ago, those two people are said to be from a mysterious force, Taiyue, have you heard? I have always had an inquisitive mind about that force, and they seem to have a deep relationship with the Soul Binding Land."

The little wolf curled up in Zheng Yan's ear, suddenly raised his head and sniffed, and after a while, he relaxed again, thought about it and said softly, "I've heard of Taiwei, didn't I say it before, Yuanxian and their Creation Pill were obtained from those who claimed to be Taiwei",

Zheng Yan couldn't help but turn his head, thought about it and said softly, "Taiwei, Taiyue, Taisu, it is difficult for these three forces to tell their specific purpose, anyway, they have their presence in many things, at least they are not saints, they will not do things without any purpose, and there must be a transaction with Beifu Mountain",

The little wolf sighed and said softly, "I actually don't want the demon clan to be involved too much with you humans, if you cooperate, you will always sell us easily, and it is not uncommon to stab us in the back",

Dugu Takihyun seems to often use the word "demon clan", which makes Zheng Yan a little concerned, and they have never heard of it in Xingwei. After listening to her words, Zheng Yan didn't defend anything, in fact, a big reason for the defeat of the Taihua Demon Clan back then was also the sudden retreat of Yudanzhou's forces, it is said that after they retreated, they took advantage of the situation to control several passages from Yudanzhou to Fengyanzhou, and many spirit demon cultivators were looted as slaves.

Finally, at night, a waning moon had risen in the sky, Zheng Yan quietly drilled out the barley, and sensed it around and touched towards the tiger skin wall towards the route determined during the day.

The layout of the whole "mausoleum" presents a rectangle, sits in the north and faces south, and the periphery is the newly renovated tiger skin wall, which is about three miles long and one mile wide;

There are almost no people in the courtyard, Zheng Yan wandered around and found nothing, every building and hall structure is extremely simple, the places that seem to be doors and windows are actually sealed, or simply carved decorations, so Zheng Yan didn't dare to sneak in easily, if he was blocked, he really couldn't escape, saying that he didn't care about this skin, it was a joke with Dugu Taki, in fact, Zheng Yan cared very much, this was left to him by his mother, and he would never give it up until he lived or died, let alone easily let himself fall into a certain death situation.

Seeing that there was no result, Zheng Yan decided to leave, and when he walked to the edge of a square, suddenly clusters of bonfires lit up around the square, which really startled Zheng Yan, and thought that he had been discovered, and he hid behind a big tree and quickly scanned the surroundings, only to find that it was not himself, but someone else who was discovered by the owner here, and surrounded in the middle of the square, or someone Zheng Yan knew, Zheng Yukun, Zheng Yujing, and two men and a woman, familiar with each other, and couldn't name them.

Three gray-clothed old men walked out of a large hall in front of the square, and one of them walked straight in front of the five people, not to mention how stern, let alone gentle, so he asked expressionlessly, "Why did you trespass on my Nine Hidden Gates?"

Zheng Yukun stepped forward and said loudly, "The younger generation looked at Zheng Yukun of the Zheng family, and several brothers and sisters of the clan inadvertently broke into your faction, I thought it was an abandoned mausoleum, please forgive my sins",

The old man seemed to be a little difficult, paused for a moment and turned around and walked back to the other two, the three old men discussed softly, and a young man around him shouted coldly, "Bold thief, break into my mountain gate and be so arrogant", said and straightened forward, a knife smashed down like a waterfall, wrapped in a silver knife, and actually covered all five people,

Zheng Yukun's expression was Lingran, one foot retreated and one kick twisted, and at the same time, a punch blasted out, a golden dragon-shaped qi roared towards the knife qi, collided in the blink of an eye, the golden fist easily dispersed the knife qi, and smashed towards the young man, the two sides were superior to the bottom of the judgment, just when the young man was knocked away by the fist, the other people around were a little excited, and they were about to rush up, and suddenly another person walked out of the hall.

As the man walked out, the whole square suddenly became inexplicably quiet, Zheng Yan couldn't help but take a few more glances at the black-robed man who seemed to be very young, and saw through the moonlight that under the cloak was a slightly delicate face, with an indescribable heaviness in the delicateness, it actually made people feel like a mountain was looking up, then again, why is it so tightly wrapped in his own house?

Just when Zheng Yan was both amazed and puzzled, the young man walked up to the three old men and whispered something, and after a while, one of the old men walked not far from Zheng Yukun and said, "Just now, my disciple was not in shape, but the young man was too heavy, right?"

Zheng Yukun made a bow and apologized and said, "The junior used fifty percent of his strength just now, I'm sorry, it's really dark and I can't tell the way by mistake tonight, please forgive the seniors",

The old man nodded and said, "In that case, we will not keep you, but the old man will send you out of this valley."

Zheng Yukun nodded and said, "Such a hard senior",

The people on the other side were agitated, and one of the middle-aged men walked to the front of the steps and shouted coldly, "Wu Tianxiu, I can't allow you to point fingers about my Nine Shadows Xuanmen...",

Before he finished speaking, he was waved back by an old man with a sleeve, and then he was carried away by several people, and another old man had already led Zheng Yukun and them away, Zheng Yan looked back at the young man and began to retreat, Wu Tianxiu, where did you hear this name.
