Outside the bamboo forest, Dao Xuan was waiting for Wang Shen alone, and when he saw Wang Shen coming out of the forest leisurely, Dao Xuan showed a little joy on his face, and nodded: "I didn't expect Brother Wang's recovery ability to be so good, I thought I was going to carry you back today." ”

As soon as Wang Shen heard this, he knew that it was Dao Xuan who brought him to Qingcheng Mountain that day, and hurriedly thanked him: "Brother Dao Xuan's life-saving grace, the younger brother has nothing to repay, if there is anything to send in the future, just open your mouth." ”

Dao Xuan smiled and waved his hand: "Haha, Brother Wang, don't be polite. If it weren't for you saving your life this time, the three disciples under my head uncle are afraid that they will be more than lucky, and if you want to say thank you, it should be my Qingyang Palace to thank you. ”

Wang Shen thought of the three willing people who were traveling with him, and hurriedly asked, "Are the three of them okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay, it's good. The girl who was willing to know that I was coming to pick you up, so she pestered me to bring her along, and so did that kid from Daozheng, who came to ask about your situation at the end of three days. Fortunately, these juniors were stopped by my master on the mountain and not allowed to go out, otherwise you would not be the only one who will see me. ”

Dao Xuan's speech and demeanor were extremely approachable, and after the two chatted for a few words, Wang Shen had a very good impression of him. This bamboo forest is located in the middle of Qingcheng Mountain, some distance from the top of the mountain, Dao Xuan saw that although Wang Shen's injuries were good, but the breath on his body was vain, he was afraid that he would have to walk a lot of way up the mountain, so he didn't stay long, and took him to the top of the mountain while chatting.

Wang Shen left this bamboo forest and continued to walk to the top of the mountain, only to barely see the general appearance of this famous mountain in Western Shu. The word Qingcheng can be said to be vividly embodied in the mountains in front of you. I don't know if it's because of the terrain, in this late autumn season, the whole Qingcheng Mountain is still verdant, without the slightest decadence of autumn color, walking in the meantime, feeling the thick and vast of the mountain, there is not a deep and rich atmosphere rushing to the face, so he can't help but be in awe. In particular, the milky white mist coiled on the top of the mountain, like countless dragons suspended in the middle, disappearing from time to time, no matter how the mountain wind blows, the faint cloud has never dissipated to reveal the true face inside.

Seeing Wang Shen looking at the top of the mountain with a little surprise and fascination in his eyes, Dao Xuan explained on the side: "The reason why the clouds and mist on the top of the mountain can not disperse all year round is because the humidity of this Shu land is heavy, and the miasma of clouds and mist often arises in the mountains. ”

Wang Shen was surprised and said, "What kind of big array is so powerful? It can actually absorb so many miles of cloud qi......

Dao Xuan said with a smile: "My Qingyang Palace is good at formation techniques in the Daomen, and this cloud and mist is said to have been a hundred miles in size, but in the past thousands of years, the ancestral array has also been worn out by the wind and rain, so now there are only about eighty or ninety miles left." The assessment criterion for the disciples of my sect to practice the formation technique is to see how much cloud energy can be absorbed from this mountain protection cloud array by the formation they have arranged. ”

Hearing that this Qingyang Palace still has such a peculiar method of assessing the cultivation of the sect, Wang Shen was also surprised, but for the formation technique of the Qingyang Palace, Wang Shen had already seen it, and it was indeed magical. These Qingyang Palace disciples can control the aura of heaven and earth with the help of just a few Xuanhuang flags, this kind of ability is really extraordinary, and it is a rare immortal method wherever it is placed.

Along the way, Dao Xuan also introduced a lot of customs and customs in the area of Qingcheng Mountain to Wang Shen, and even some of the strange things that happened in the Qingyang Palace, he also felt harmless, and said them to relieve Wang Shen's boredom.

After walking for about half an hour, Wang Shen finally walked into this cloud mist, and the moment he walked into the mist, this cloud and mist, which was quietly floating on the top of Qingcheng Mountain, actually floated violently.

The originally scattered clouds changed their lazy state, and they continued to churn and gather together, as if they were like living creatures from virtual to real, and one of them was condensed into a huge white column in front of Wang Shen's eyes, but this cylinder did not see its head and tail, like a giant dragon in a winding mountain, as if only a small part of the dragon's body appeared in front of him.

This sudden change made Wang Shen look stunned, and just when the clouds were getting thicker and thicker, a yellow light suddenly lit up on the top of the mountain, and the yellow light was divided into ten and shot out in all directions, until all these yellow lights were submerged in the clouds, and the abnormal cloud qi stopped, as if it had lost all its strength in an instant, and it was powerless to disperse around the top of the mountain again.

What made Wang Shen even more shocked was that at the same time as the cloud dissipated, he felt that the rocks under his feet seemed to be shaking slightly, although the vibration was small, but the rhythm was extremely fast, as if there was some huge thing walking and crawling between the mountains and forests not far away, which actually made this piece of mountain tremble.

When Wang Shen came back to his senses from his repeated surprises, Dao Xuan looked at the direction of the top of the mountain and smiled bitterly: "Sure enough, it is not what my master expected." ”

"Ahh ”

Wang Shen faintly felt that Fang Cai's change seemed to have something to do with him, but he didn't dare to ask rashly.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that I originally wanted to take you directly to Qingyang Palace to meet my head uncle first, but now it seems that I can only take you to the back mountain to see my master first. ”

Dao Xuan didn't continue to elaborate on this, and although Wang Shen was full of suspicion, he didn't want to ask too much, after all, this cloud qi was related to the Qingyang Palace Mountain Gate Great Array, and it was not easy for him as an outsider to inquire about such a private matter.

At this moment, the cloud qi dispersed again and diffused around the top of the mountain, but Wang Shen, who was in the cloud, actually didn't notice much difference, and the surrounding air was not as humid and oppressive as originally imagined, and this seemingly thick cloud didn't even cover the sky overhead, allowing it to penetrate as if it didn't exist at all.

It's just that since the beginning, Wang Shen always felt a little strange in his heart, and there was an indescribable sense of restraint all over his body, as if there was a pair of hidden eyes in this cloud that had been looking at him, but every time he looked up, he couldn't see anything. Dao Xuan walked beside Wang Shen, and naturally saw some strangeness in him, but he continued to lead the way without saying a word.

Could it be because of this mountain protection array? And Dao Xuan has been used to this feeling because he has lived here all year round?

Wang Shen speculated wildly in his heart, forcibly trying to let himself throw this uncomfortable feeling out of his mind.

As a result, the originally pleasant road up the mountain has become a torment for Wang Shen, who has no intention of enjoying the scenery at the top of the mountain at this time, but just hopes to get to the place where he wants to go as soon as possible, and get rid of the strange feeling of being watched from head to toe as soon as possible. And Dao Xuan seemed to understand what Wang Shen was thinking, and after entering this cloud, he gradually accelerated his pace.

Finally, after walking for almost seven or eight miles of mountain roads, Wang Shen's eyes suddenly opened up, and an open and simple courtyard appeared in front of him.
