Viewed from the bottom of the mountain, the mountain can be roughly divided into three levels, with a long stone staircase between each level.

The stone staircase is neatly hewn out of the mountain wall and extends down the stone wall, and about every fifty steps, there will be a stone lion, which is also chiseled out of the stone wall and inlaid in the stone wall.

From this, you can see that the sad mountain is different from other peaks.

Another particularly striking feature of the Sadness Mountain is that you should never spend the night in the woods.

Because in addition to cultivators, there are also many unborn cave beasts and elves, most of which move at night and come out to forage for food.

Sometimes they will end their retreat early and find a relatively quiet place to test the results of their retreat, and sometimes they will extend the retreat, and then they usually have their own protective formation, and if you accidentally enter it, no one knows what the consequences will be.

However, the cave beasts and elves here are still very friendly to cultivators, and there are two reasons why they stay here.

First, I don't want to have too much to do with the world, I just want to cultivate carefully and ascend as soon as possible.

Second, he has been seriously wounded in the world, and he heals here and does not ask about the affairs of the world.

The Zheng family's attitude towards the former has always been to come and go freely, and never to be restricted.

But for the latter, they need a spiritual contract to control their actions, and once they do something out of the ordinary, they will be eaten by the spiritual contract, and the light ones will be seriously injured, and the heavy ones will destroy their spiritual roots, and they will never be able to cultivate.

It sounds like a cruel thing, but as long as they can control their hands and mouths, then the existence of the spirit contract will not only not harm them, but will also help them restrain their bodies and minds and concentrate on cultivation.

The spiritual contract of the cultivation realm is like a signature and drawing in the world, by using spiritual power to write a piece of restraint on a specific container, and then draw a trace of soul from the spiritual root of the drawing party and attach it to the container.

As long as he dares to break the contract, the party holding the spirit contract can cause the detainee to be punished by erasing the spirit of the contract.

From the moment the soul is extracted, a trace will be imprinted on the spiritual root, and just such a small trace can destroy the painter's hundred-year, or even thousand-year cultivation.

Therefore, not many people have the courage and guts to do so.

Walking down the stone stairs, you will pass through a crossroads, the left side can go to the other side of the mountain, the right side can go directly along the stone stairs, and continue to go forward to reach the halfway up the mountainside, in addition to the stone stairs, you can also walk those mountain roads, only by walking the mountain road will you encounter the treasures in this secret mountain.

The last time Zhou Tianshen entered the mountain, he had already walked through half of the mountain, and only took some stones, and the others were not enough to attract his attention.

The last time he went to the mountain was to improve his cultivation realm and see if he could pick up some opportunities to help him, in fact, this time he entered the mountain for this purpose.

Now that he has advanced to the realm, the knot in his heart has been unraveled, and there is no need to be so anxious.

He toes a little on the railing by the stone staircase, bows his head, ducks over a branch that sticks out horizontally, and then twists and falls, silently on the yellow leaves.

He walked the road.

This road is considered the ring line of this sad mountain, and crossing this road is equivalent to crossing half of the sad mountain.

Zhou Tianshen walked through the dirt path from memory.

He didn't remember that it had rained yesterday, but the road was full of mud, and there was a line of huge footprints, Zhou Tianshen stepped forward to compare, about half the size of his body.

He followed the footprints and walked down the mountain.

The path traverses the entire mountain of sorrow, and in turn there are numerous branch roads that lead to other places that have been carved out by other monks who have come here in search of treasure.

Zhou Tianshen walked slowly along a narrow branch road to the left, which was very clean, with only a few leaves.

After walking for long, I saw a tree with a crooked neck, and a little boy eating wild fruit was sitting on the tree.

The little boy was dressed in clothes made of leaves, and wore a pair of straw sandals on his feet, on which were two small flowers, and on the boy's head there were two small flowers.

After seeing Zhou Tianshen, the little boy hurriedly threw away the fruit in his hand, jumped behind the tree, and stretched out a little head to observe him secretly.

Zhou Tianshen didn't pay much attention to the little boy, just stopped in front of the crooked neck tree for a moment, then lowered his head, attracted by a pool of blood on the root of the tree.

Zhou Tianshen squatted down and wiped some green liquid with his fingers, and there was a fishy smell on it.

"It was dropped from Uncle Tree, and it was killed. ”

I don't know when, the little boy stood behind Zhou Tianshen, his eyes were a little lonely, but more sad.

Zhou Tianshen stood up, the little boy only reached his waist, he raised his head, looked at the young man in front of him a little timidly, raised his right hand, he held a purple wild fruit in his hand, and asked, "Can you help him take revenge?" I can't beat that guy, he is very powerful, even more powerful than Uncle Shu." Uncle Shu has been cultivating here for a long time, but it can't compare to one of that guy's hands, really, he only used one hand to pull Uncle Shu off the tree, and then, Uncle Shu was taken away by him. ”

Zhou Tianshen was already sitting on the ground, listening to the little boy talk about what happened not long ago, the little boy and Zhou Tianshen were level with each other, still raising their hands, and the purple wild fruit in their hands was in their hands.

The little boy continued, "I was protected by Uncle Tree with a spell, so I was not discovered by that person. Can you help Uncle Shu take revenge, I can give you my spiritual root. ”

Zhou Tianshen took the wild fruit, and the little boy swished and burrowed into the dirt, revealing only a small head.

Zhou Tianshen pinched open the fruit, there was only a very ordinary fruit core in it, he looked at the little boy, the little boy looked at him with blank eyes, "I have begged many people, they all just want to snatch my spiritual root, and they don't intend to avenge Uncle Shu, so I used some tricks." ”

This is not a trick at all, Zhou Tianshen thought.

Zhou Tianshen ate the fruit in two bites, the taste was very sweet, and there was some earthy taste.

He asked, "Where did that man go?"

The little boy came out of the ground and looked at the young man sitting on the ground in front of him in surprise, he looked very ordinary, and the clothes on his body were all ordinary materials, which were not as good as those before him, and looked at the golden wine jug on his waist that was worth a little money.

Uncle Shu had taught him some ways to meet each other, but he was stupid and couldn't remember those cumbersome formulas, and he just acted intuitively every time, and he felt that the person in front of him should just be a very ordinary cultivator.

Looking at his age, he should not be more than twenty years old, and the cultivation realm should be the human mountain realm, or the human kui realm, and it is impossible to be a strong person in the earth realm. Because Uncle Shu has cultivated for hundreds of years, he can only be regarded as the pinnacle of the human realm.

Can he really help Uncle Tree get revenge?

The little boy sat next to Zhou Tianshen, watching him drink the wine in the golden wine jug, and couldn't help asking, "How old are you this year, what is the realm, how many treasures are at the bottom of the box, if you die here, will someone avenge you?"

Listening to a series of questions, Zhou Tianshen put down the wine jug, turned around, and asked curiously, "What's your name?"

The little boy immediately sat upright and said without a smile, "Listen, my name is Da Li, and Uncle Shu obtained it for me, how about it, it's good." ”

Zhou Tianshen smiled slightly, "Are you a pear tree spirit?"

The little boy rubbed his head and said with a simple smile, "Uncle Shu is the pear tree, and I am just a pear blossom." ”

Zhou Tianshen put down the wine jug, took out a cyan stone and a white bead from the cunshou object, there was a small white dot in the stone, and a white thread inside the bead, he handed these two things to the big pear, and said, "Take it, use it for self-defense." ”

Da Li played with the cyan stone, he could feel the faint spiritual power fluctuations in it, as for the white bead, he understood its importance, he returned the bead to Zhou Tianshen, "I will keep the stone, I can't accept this, Uncle Shu said that it is useless, I ask you for help, it should be me to give you something." ”

Zhou Tianshen put the beads at his feet, looked at the white clouds in the sky, one by one, floating and walking in the wind, and said, "You just said that as long as I help you take revenge, you will give me the spiritual root, and I will accept it, but if you don't have the spiritual root, you will die, even if I paid for it out of my own pocket and gave it to you, it has nothing to do with anything else, you don't want to just go to see your uncle Shu, right?"

Da Li thought about it, then accepted the white beads, and solemnly kowtowed to Zhou Tianshen three times, "If you can really help Uncle Shu avenge you, I am willing to be a cow and a horse for you in my life to repay your kindness." ”

Zhou Tianshen asked Da Li to get up, stood up himself, and asked, "What does that person look like?"

After Yu Xiaodu left, Dao Wu thought that they had relayed what he said to Zhou Tianshen as it was, one of them was about the experience, Yu Xiaodu said that they would have a difficult time in Xiangyun City, but until they left Xiangyun City, nothing happened, and at that time they thought that they were scaring them, but now that they think about it, maybe it's true.

Maybe this person who killed Uncle Shu is the ordeal in the mouth of Yu Xiaodu, and only by defeating him can he be considered to be able to go to the continent alone.

So he is willing to help Da Li, and more often than not, he is helping himself.

The little boy looked at the distracted boy, clenched his fists, and said, "I was scared to death, but I saw him wearing black clothes, and there was a stench on his body, covering his chest, and there was blood. ”

Zhou Tianshen kept the characteristics of that person in mind, turned his head to look at the big pear, the little boy was a little baby fat, a small man, and there was a faint fragrance on his body, it was rare for an elf like him to cultivate into a human form at such a young age, it must be the handiwork of that uncle.

He asked, "Will you stay here, or will you come with me?"

Da Li looked at his eyes firmly, stuffed the white bead into his mouth, swallowed, the bead entered his stomach, a white light lit up on his stomach, Da Li sat cross-legged on the ground in pain, his hands formed a simple handprint, it should be the cultivation method of the elf clan.

It is said that elves and cave beasts will have their own set of cultivation mudras and mental methods before cultivating into human form, which is innate to them, similar to instinct.

Seeing that the little boy was about to digest that spiritual root now, Zhou Tianshen was no longer in a hurry, he sat behind Da Li, and used the meditation seal to protect the Dharma for him.

Da Li is also the first time to digest the spiritual root, as early as when he gave birth to the spiritual root, Uncle Shu warned him that when he has not reached a certain cultivation level, he must not try to digest other spiritual roots by himself, because when the spiritual power in the spiritual root exceeds the tolerance range of the body, the body will explode, resulting in damage to the spiritual root, which is very likely to kill him.

But now he can't do that much.

Now he has two spiritual roots in his body, one is his own, only the size of a soybean, the spiritual roots of elves and cave beasts are slightly different from those of cultivators, they can't conjure up big trees or dantian small worlds, they can only judge the strength of cultivation by their size. The other one was the size of his fist, which was given to him by Zhou Tianshen, and was making waves in his dantian at this time.

The meditation seal used by Zhou Tianshen is like a needle that fixes the sea, helping Da Li calm the waves in the dantian, so that he will suffer a lot less, but he can only help here, and the rest depends on the creation of Da Li.

Da Li gritted his teeth, desperately compressed the spiritual power that was constantly pouring out of the dantian, and then separated his mind and tried to fuse the two spiritual roots together, but the spiritual roots were inherently repulsive, especially the two with different attributes, and it was completely impossible to combine them.

Da Li is still working hard, he can't see the situation in the outside world, because the spiritual power is too abundant, so his body has begun to expand, like a balloon that is constantly inflating, and it won't be long before it will explode.

Zhou Tianshen was also outside to figure out a way for him.

At this moment, a small black shadow shot out from the side, piercing Da Li's body, the sound of air leakage came, Da Li's body gradually shrank, and the spiritual power leaked out was sucked away by a small silver needle.

A slender figure walked out from the side of the two, that is, the place where the silver needle came from, he was wearing a gray robe, a tall thin man, wearing a pair of glasses on his face, holding a pharmacopoeia in his hand, after seeing Zhou Tianshen's figure, he smiled, "Long time no see, Zhou Tianshen." ”

"Doctor Zhang!"

Zhou Tianshen didn't expect that it was Zhang Yunan, who had worked as a physician in Laohuai Village, who helped him, and he was also a cultivator. 、

Zhang Yunan walked out of the woods, took out the silver needle that sucked the spiritual power of Da Li's body, and then inserted it on his head, the spiritual power started from the top of his head, along the veins, and traveled all over his body, and Da Li's shriveled body returned to its original state.

And it's stronger than before.

Zhang Yunan nodded and said, "It's really difficult, but fortunately, I have helped him collect all his spiritual power into the spiritual root, and now he is a real person in the mountain realm." ”

The big pear who had just opened his eyes was still a little weak, and after he poured a thank you to Zhang Yunan, he hid in the land and rested in a deep sleep.

Zhou Tianshen stood up and asked Zhang Yunan about the past few years.

Zhang Yunan smiled and said that it was nothing too big, he and Meng Ruhan soon arrived in Zhongzhou, and then parted ways with him, Meng Ruhan went to Huangzhao College, he went to a friend's house, stayed there for a while, and came back.

When he returned to the village, Meng Cheng told him that Wang Duozhan and the others followed the Tieliu family to Zhongzhou, and Zhou Tianshen was alone, so he hurried to this Yuntou urn.

Zhang Yunan asked, "I have heard your previous conversations, you really want to avenge a person you don't know, but you don't know the other party's cultivation realm, if the other party is a Heavenly Realm powerhouse, what should you do?"

Zhou Tianshen pouted, "Whether you believe it or not, I must help with this favor anyway, and this is also helping myself, but since you helped Da Li control his spiritual power, I don't think I will just leave."

Zhang Yunan said speechlessly, "You've said it all to this point, and if I don't help, it seems that I'm not righteous." ”

Zhou Tianshen sat on the ground and said, "When Da Li's injuries are healed, we will set off." ”

Zhang Yunan sat beside Zhou Tianshen and asked, "That pillar of light on the mountain before was related to you?"

Zhou Tianshen smiled and said nothing.

Zhang Yunan stopped asking.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Da Li's head emerged from the ground, his face was already a lot ruddy, he thanked Zhang Yunan again, and said that he was fine, and he could now set off to find the murderer who brutally killed Uncle Shu.

The three of them hit the road together, walking on a dirt road.

Zhang Yunan said, "Since leaving Laohuai Village, I went to Zhongzhou with Meng Ruhan, including the Yuntou urn in Xiangyun City and the big reef boat in the floating grass ocean, as well as the Bahua Fairy Island in Xiancai Prefecture, and by the way, I also went to the famous Changyu Street in Xiancai Prefecture. Unexpectedly, this sad mountain is also an unborn secret realm, and the Zheng family is willing to take it out like this, so that many treasure hunters can hunt for treasure here, the Zheng family is really a big deal. ”

Zhou Tianshen asked, "What kind of situation is that Changyu Street, Doctor Zhang said?"

Zhang Yunan said with a smile, "A street that runs through the entire Xiancai Prefecture, along the street are shops for trading, if there is no unique token of Baoguanmen, the people inside can't get out, and the people outside can't get in, just by virtue of this street, Baoguanmen has become one of the four gates of Xiancaizhou from a small sect with an unknown reputation. ”

Zhou Tianshen asked, "One of the four gates?"

Zhang Yunan slowed down and walked towards the path on the left, with Zhou Tianshen and Da Li following behind.

This is a stone road, at the end of the road is a peach forest, the peach trees are full of fruits, the peaches press the peach branches down, Zhang Yunan picked one casually, took a big bite, and said comfortably, "The secret realm is different, even the peaches are bigger than other places." ”

At this time, a loud shout came from the top of the three people's heads, and when they looked up, it turned out to be a little girl in pink, and Da Li recognized her.

Big Pear shook her arm and shouted, "Sister Peach." ”

After seeing the people below clearly, the little girl jumped down from the peach tree and kicked Zhang Yunan's knee directly, making him tremble in pain.

The little girl asked, "Why are you picking my peaches?"

Zhang Yunan frowned and explained bitterly, "I saw that the peaches were about to fall to the ground, and it was a pity not to eat them." ”

The little girl glanced at him, ignored it, turned her head to look at Zhou Tianshen and Da Li, pointed at Zhou Tianshen and asked, "Who are you, what are you doing here?"

Ori hurriedly replied, "He's my friend, he's here to see me, and by the way, look at the mountain." ”

The little girl should have a good personal relationship with the big pear, after hearing his explanation, she didn't ask anything, picked two peaches from the peach branch, threw them to Zhou Tianshen and the big pear respectively, and said, "My grandfather is going to go out of the customs during this period of time, and he can't be disturbed by anyone, so you can leave quickly after eating the peaches, by the way, Da Pear, is Uncle Shu also out of the customs these days, my grandfather still wants to play chess with him." ”

Big Pear lowered her head and nibbled on the big peach, nodded, and did not speak.

The three of them quickly finished eating the peaches and left the peach forest under the 'watch' of the little girl.

Walking out of the peach forest, the mud on the road has been partially dried, Zhang Yunan continued the topic just now, "There is a ranking in Xiancai Prefecture, which is mainly divided for those top forces, one city, two sects, three factions, four gates, and five villains. Among them, the Baoguan Gate is one of the four gates, and the other three are the Rakshasa Gate, the Money Gate and the Tianyi Gate. These four sects are mainly in charge of the treasure, killing, wealth, and art of Xiancai Prefecture. ”

"Baoguanmen is mainly famous for its treasures, and since they got Changyu Street, they have moved the sect into it, and the people who do business there are also their disciples. ”

"When Baoguanmen did not come out, the treasures of Xiancai Prefecture were all supplied by the Refining Sect, one of the two sects, and as far as I know, Tie Liu was once a member of the Refining Sect. ”

The three of them stopped, and a large rock blocked their way in front of them.

Zhou Tianshen said, "Uncle Tieliu? ”

Zhang Yunan pressed his hand on the stone, a burst of white light flashed, and a hole appeared in the stone, Zhang Yunan was the first to walk in, Da Li looked at the space inside in a daze, and kept admiring, he should have come here earlier.

Zhang Yunan chuckled, "He is not the only one who does not show his face, do you remember Wang Guangquan who likes to play chess with Kou seniors, he is also a member of the Second Sect, but he is from the Alchemy Sect, it seems that he is still a deacon of the Outer Sect, he usually deals with the affairs of the Outer Sect, and does not know alchemy, his brother Wang Ji is the same as him." ”

This stone was originally a cave blessed land, but because of the treasure hunters' wanton looting, now there is only an empty shell left, but it is full of spiritual power, and it can be regarded as a little valuable.

There is also a kind of spring water called 'cold spring', which is a very valuable alchemy material. It's just that there are too few people who know the goods, so they were accidentally retained.

Zhang Yunan squatted by the spring, took out some large porcelain bottles, filled ten bottles of cold spring, and then drank a few sips.

Zhou Tianshen stood aside and declined Zhang Yunan's invitation, and Da Li unceremoniously took a bath in it.

Zhang Yunan put the porcelain bottle into the pharmacopoeia, washed his face again, and asked, "Don't you wonder why they live in Laohuai Village?"

Zhou Tianshen shook his head and asked rhetorically, "You know?"

Zhang Yunan fished out the big pear from the spring water, the spiritual power in it is a little unusual, it is easy to freeze the body, especially a young elf like him, who is the most likely to get sick, and once he gets sick, it is easy to attract dirty things.

He said, "Before leaving, I went to see the master, and instead of beating and scolding me, he blamed me for not going to see it for so many years, and gave me this pharmacopoeia, saying that the senior brother has taken everything he can take, and there is only such a small gadget left, and it is useless for him to stay around, just because I am going to go on a long trip, and I can use it." That day, we had a drink and he talked a lot, more than when I was younger. He told me that he was also leaving, and passed on his pharmacy to me to sit there when I was homesick, and if anyone looked for him, he said he was not there. ”

Zhou Tianshen looked at Zhang Yunan's eyes, his eyes became deep, like a pool of stagnant water, with a whirlpool hidden in it, as long as someone tried to touch it, they would be swallowed by it.

Zhang Yunan continued to lead the way in front, Da Li hugged his body, kept sneezing, seeing this, Zhou Tianshen gave him his clothes, Zhang Yunan took out a small bottle from the pharmacopoeia, which contained some red liquid, he said, "The temperature of the cold spring here is very low, for elves and cave beasts, it is very corrosive, this is a bottle of potion made by myself, just drink it." ”

The three of them walked out of the stone, Zhou Tianshen looked back, the previous footprints were not far behind him, and there was an independent small world in this stone.

Continuing on, a fork in the road appeared, there was a sign at the intersection, a courtyard to the left, and a descent hill to the right.

They chose to go to the left, which was a downhill slope and not far away was an open-door courtyard.

The courtyard is very large, standing on the slope and looking up at a large area, there is a wall between the courtyard and the courtyard, and a maroon red wooden door is installed on the wall.

Walking into the courtyard, you can see that the yard is covered with a layer of fallen leaves, the leaves have turned yellow and dried up, there is a small stone table in the middle of the yard, there is a set of tea sets on the stone table, the room on the left is locked with the door, the iron lock is a little rusty, the house in the middle of the right is open, you can smell a bitter smell of Chinese medicine when you walk in.

Zhang Yunan was very familiar with this taste, and knew that this was a healing Chinese medicine as soon as he smelled it, he sat on the stone table, put the pharmacopoeia on his lap, picked up the teapot, it was still a little warm, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it carefully, Zhou Tianshen walked to his side and whispered, "There is a bad smell in this courtyard." ”

Big Pear nodded in agreement, if it wasn't for the two of them walking in, he wouldn't have come in at all, he smelled dead people here.

Elves are much more sensitive to cave beasts and necromancy than cultivators.

Zhang Yunan smiled and made them relax, saying that he knew the things here.

Zhou Tianshen sat aside suspiciously, and also poured himself a cup of tea, anyway, Zhang Yunan is a doctor, he will detoxify.

Da Li hid in the soil again, he still prefers the soil, the cold spring water he soaked just now is indeed a little cold, he is ready to sleep for a while.

Zhang Yunan put down the teacup and said, "There are nearly 100 courtyards in this courtyard, I looked at them one by one when I was idle before, only ten at the beginning and the end, twenty in the middle, a total of forty courtyards have things, and the others have been destroyed by treasure hunters, and some courtyards don't even have houses, only one broken door remains." ”

"The owner of this compound is a relatively young necromancer who has lived here for more than ten years. ”

Zhou Tianshen was surprised, "Necromancy?"

The reason for the death of the soul is that when the person is about to die, because the heart is particularly unwilling, the spiritual root is mutated, the physical body is destroyed, leaving only a spiritual root, the spiritual root hovers in the place of death for three days, collects three souls and seven spirits, produces the yin body, and wanders in the night.

Necromancy is divided into good spirits and evil spirits.

Good spirits are usually good in life, and their wishes are not fulfilled when they die, so they become yin.

Evil spirits can be transformed by good spirits, or they can be cast by people, and the three souls and seven spirits cannot be reincarnated.

The appearance of the necromancer is the same as that of the dead before death, and the age is also based on the day of death.

Zhang Yunan nodded, took out a piece of rune paper from the pharmacopoeia, spread it on the table, and drew a villain holding a small windmill on the rune paper, "This is what I picked up in an ancestral hall, I followed the guidance of the villain on the rune paper to come here and saw him." ”

Zhou Tianshen felt a cool breeze blowing around him, and when he looked again, he didn't know when a man was sitting next to him.

The man's face was pale, his lips were purple, his hair was scattered, and there was a large purple birthmark on his face, and he waved his hand to Zhou Tianshen, signaling him not to be afraid.

When I encounter a ghost in broad daylight, I'm afraid that everyone will tremble in their hearts.

Zhang Yunan introduced, "He is the owner of this courtyard, called Ren Baichuan, and he has been here for about 12 years. ”

Zhou Tianshen was curious, "You're not afraid of the sun?"

Ren Baichuan smiled, and with a wave of his hand, the entire courtyard was shrouded in a large black cloud, and then looked at the other courtyards, all of them were in the same situation.

He explained, "This formation was created by an old man named Yang Sanqi in the center of the courtyard, and it can protect us undead spirits who are not in the realm of cultivation from the sun. When I first came here, it was thanks to him that I was able to occupy such a small courtyard. ”

Zhou Tianshen noticed that he kept holding his chest and talking.

The necromancers have no body, and their current appearance is only the spiritual root that is formed by gathering the soul and conjuring it with the spiritual power, which is called the Yin body.

So when fighting the necromancy, they have no weaknesses other than the spiritual root.

Zhang Yunan also saw Ren Baichuan's strange appearance, and asked, "What's the matter?" The last time I saw you, it was still fine, and the medicine in the room was boiled for yourself?"

Ren Baichuan nodded and explained, "Not long ago, a man in black came to the courtyard, and when he saw me, he didn't say a word, and he beat me up, you also know that I can't cultivate, and I am not his opponent at all, if it weren't for Yang Sanqi's predecessors to make a timely move, I'm afraid I would have been scattered, but although he didn't succeed, but most of my spiritual roots were also destroyed by him." ”

Ren Baichuan scattered the position of his chest, and he could see a gray bead in a gray aura, and the bead was covered with cracks.

The aura recondensed, and the chest returned to its original state.

Zhou Tianshen asked, "What does that person look like?"

At this time, the big pear also emerged from the soil and stood beside Zhou Tianshen.

Ren Baichuan pondered, "He is very tall, wearing black clothes, he seems to be injured, and there are two kinds of blood stains on his body, black and yellow, and I also smell a pear tree on him." ”

"It's Uncle Tree......"

Zhou Tianshen grabbed Da Li, who was in a fierce mood, and explained for him, "My friend has also been attacked by him, as you can see, we are looking for him, if you have any clues, you can tell us." ”

Ren Baichuan looked at Zhou Tianshen and Da Li, and then looked at Zhang Yunan, here he trusted only Zhang Yunan, seeing Zhang Yunan nodded, he no longer hid it.

He walked into the room and took out a small, broken mirror with a mural on the back of the mirror.

He put the mirror on the stone table, urging the spiritual power, the mirror shot out a light, the light exploded in mid-air, and then a light screen with a picture appeared, there were three people in the light screen, a man in black, it should be the person who attacked him in Ren Baichuan's mouth, and an old man wearing a green shirt, it should be Yang Sanqi, and the other one was lying on the ground, with gray spiritual power on his chest, it should be Ren Baichuan.

Ren Baichuan said, "This is a small image mirror, which can record what happened, this is Yang Sanqi's predecessor, and the man in black who attacked me, this mirror was left by Yang Sanqi's predecessor, he asked me to put the mirror in the courtyard, and when the man in black reappeared, I could contact him through the mirror." ”

Ren Baichuan clicked a small red jade stone on the mirror, and the people in the picture began to move.

The man in black swept backwards, raised a wall in his hand, and smashed it at Yang Sanqi and Ren Baichuan on the ground, Yang Sanqi waved his sleeves, and a strong yin wind blew directly into the stone wall, and Ren Baichuan was also blown into the room by him, at this time the man in black had already escaped, Yang Sanqi chased in the direction of the man in black's escape, and the picture came to an abrupt end.

Ren Baichuan recalled, "That person wore a mask, obviously he didn't want people to see him, and he was already injured, and he was slapped by Senior Yang, he must not be able to run far, you can go and ask Senior Yang, he is the most prestigious person here."

Zhou Tianshen looked at the still picture, the direction of the black-clothed man's escape was the depths of the courtyard, and he was bound to pass through Yang San's domain, he and Zhang Yunan glanced at each other, the two got up and retreated, and Da Li followed behind them.

Ren Baichuan suddenly called out to them and gave the image mirror to Zhang Yunan, "Senior Yang has always disliked being disturbed by others, you bring this, if you encounter a black and white double knife, just say that it is my friend, they should let you go to see Senior Yang." ”

Zhou Tianshen asked, "Who is the black and white double knife?"

Ren Baichuan explained, "The black and white double knife is the former disciple of Senior Yang, and his real names are Fan Wuyi and Xie An, because he wears a black and white mask and is good at using long knives. ”

Many of the large courtyards were dilapidated, and most of them looked a little languishing through the few courtyards with owners, either because they had tuberculosis in front of them and had been brought over after their deaths, or they had been wounded by the black man.

Some of the bolder necromancers would come to say hello when they saw Zhang Yunan, and Zhang Yunan would give them some medicine bottles, which contained potions specially developed for necromancy.

Saving lives and helping the injured is a medical virtue, and Zhang Yunan likes to put this sentence on his lips now.

There was also a boy who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, with two strings of snot on his face, who followed behind the three of them, and walked all the way before Zhou Tianshen discovered his existence.

He patted Zhang Yun'an on the shoulder and motioned for him to solve it, and he and Da Li walked in front first.

Zhang Yunan stopped and asked, "Are you following us to find that guy for revenge?"

The boy nodded and said, "He injured my sister and almost ate her spiritual root, I can definitely help you." ”

Zhang Yunan grabbed the boy's shoulder, asked him to rotate one hundred and eighty degrees in place, and then pushed him forward, "Don't get involved with adults, children." ”

Not far away, a girl with a tearful mole on her face came out of a room that looked fairly clean from the façade, said sorry, and led the boy home.

Zhang Yunan caught up with the two people in front, and the three of them continued to hurry.

After approaching a maroon wooden door, the three of them stopped at the same time and looked at the upper left corner, where a man in a white mask sat on the wall, and in the upper right corner, a man in a black mask sit.

The two are Fan Wuyi and Xie An.

The two stood up, holding a long knife in their hands, and said, "Senior Yang has an order, and no idle people are allowed to enter, and please take a detour." ”

Zhang Yunan stepped forward, took out the imaging mirror from the pharmacopoeia, held it above his head, and said, "We are friends of Ren Baichuan, and we want to see Yang Sanqi's predecessors." ”

The black and white mask looked at each other, the black mask jumped down from the wall, put away the long knife, took the mirror, and looked at it, "Ren Baichuan, I really haven't seen him for a while." ”

I couldn't see his expression through the mask, but I could hear it from his voice that he knew Ren Baichuan.

The black mask returned the mirror to Zhang Yunan, put his hand on the wooden door, the wooden door flashed a black light, quietly opened, and the white mask also jumped down, and said as he walked, "My name is Xie An, his name is Fan Wuyi, Ren Baichuan's friend is also my friend, wait until you meet Senior Yang, let's have a drink together?"

Zhang Yunan shook his head, Zhou Tianshen was holding the big pear, there was something wrong with him from the moment he entered the door, and there seemed to be no way to use spells here.

Seeing the doubts in Zhou Tianshen's heart, Xie An explained, "This is the central area of this large courtyard, and it is also the residence of Senior Yang, so he has set up an enchantment here, and anyone who walks in here cannot use spells, including our brothers." ”

Zhou Tianshen was relieved.

In front of them was a large courtyard, the yard was very clean, there were no fallen leaves that made the whole yard look dilapidated, there was no unappetizing smell of traditional Chinese medicine, and there was no palatial dress, just a very ordinary courtyard, and there was a very ordinary old man sitting in the courtyard, and the old man was holding a bowl of very ordinary noodles in his hand.

The old man didn't raise his head when he heard the sound of the door opening, and after a burst of noodles, a neutral voice came from the bowl, "You two stinky boys, didn't I say that you are not allowed to come in during this time?"

Xie An walked up to the old man and said softly, "It's Ren Baichuan's friend, holding the image mirror, it should be for that person." ”

The old man raised his head from the bowl and looked at Zhou Tianshen and the three of them with cloudy eyes, especially Da Li.

He beckoned, and Da Li involuntarily ran in front of him, letting the old man pinch his face.

After a long time, the old man put down the dishes and chopsticks, lay on the recliner that Xie An had already prepared on the side, held a pu fan and fanned it gently, and said, "I said why are you so familiar, who are you the pear tree spirit?"

Da Li was a little ignorant, and replied casually, "I am a pear blossom on Uncle Shu's body, Uncle Shu was captured by bad people, and we came here to find him." ”

The old man smiled, "There is no Uncle Tree here, and that bad guy has already run away, and you can't find it." ”

Da Li's rejuvenated body trembled, knelt on the ground, tears fell down, and choked up, "Uncle Shu is really gone." ”

Zhou Tianshen came to Da Li's side, patted him on the back, and asked the old man, "Did you hurt him, or did he hurt you?"

A long black knife rested on his neck, and a cold voice came from overhead, "Hugh is presumptuous. ”

Xie An echoed, "How could Senior Yang be injured. ”

Zhang Yunan walked to the middle of the courtyard, took a deep breath, and said, "There is a faint smell of blood in the courtyard, and the dead will not bleed, but in addition, there is also a smell that comes from your body." ”

The old man laughed, "This friend really has a good nose. ”

Zhang Yunan didn't care, "That's what the family teacher said. ”

Zhou Tianshen stood up, ignoring the bloody marks on his neck from the long knife, "We are here to find the man in black, and we also ask Senior Yang to tell us his whereabouts." ”

The old man looked ahead, his eyes empty, and muttered to himself, "He is long gone, and even if you find him, you can't take him with you." ”

Da Li stood up, wiped the tears from his face, gritted his teeth and said, "I want to avenge Uncle Shu." ”

The old man chuckled, straightened up, and fanned hard, the sky changed in an instant, a large black cloud rolled in, covering the sky and the sun, the old man stretched out his hand and pointed at the sky, a touch of light, from nothing, extremely dazzling, the light pierced the sky, leaving a shallow trace.

The old man put down the fan, and the sky returned to its original state, "That's where he is, I have used the 'rules' of this heaven and earth to trap him, but he doesn't belong here, and the 'rules' can't hide from him for too long." You have three more hours to slay him. ”

"Fan Wuyi, Xie An, you go with them, if the matter is successful, just leave here, you have been here for too long, go out and break in, so that they can see, my Yang Sanqi's apprentice is no worse than them. ”

"Senior Yang!"

"Let's go, I'm sleepy. ”

Fan is not to blame, and Xie An and the two knelt to say goodbye.

A group of five people left the courtyard and headed for the depths of the sad mountain.
