"The battle for the sacrificial spirit is not a simple competition, but a series of tasks to be completed, according to the custom, there are about three or four tasks, but the specific tasks are arranged by the elders, and I have no right to interfere with them, and I am not allowed to intervene. ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Yu paused for a moment, and then continued: "However, the task is completed in the form of a team, and the four people who participate in the sacrificial spirit competition can personally select someone they trust to act as a guard. Each team is limited to three people. ”

After listening, Nie Fei seemed to see a glimmer of opportunity to exploit loopholes, and asked, "What are the requirements for becoming a guard?"

Jiang Yu said: "First of all, it must be a person from my clan. The second is that the age is not more than twenty. ”

The corners of Nie Fei's mouth couldn't help but hook up a sly arc: "Don't you think I'm just right?"

Jiang Yu shook his head and said: "It's not difficult for you to pretend to be a member of my clan, but if you want to become a guard, it's basically impossible, because everyone's identity must be verified in advance, and no one can fool through this level." ”

Nie Fei frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Is it possible to change guards halfway?"

Jiang Yu was stunned, as if he had been woken up, and said with joy: "Old decay almost forgot, Nie Gongzi, you have a lot of attainments in rune arts." In this way, this method of changing guards halfway is indeed feasible. ”

Nie Fei said: "Why do you have to understand runes?"

Jiang Yu said in detail: "The place to compete for the spirit is fixed, it is called the Holy Mountain, it has long been blocked with rune formations around it, and it has left the breath of several rune masters in our clan, as long as any of us get close, it will cause violent fluctuations, which is also to prevent anyone from cheating." But Nie Gongzi, you are not affected by this, I can teach you the method of breaking through the rune formation, and let you enter the venue beforehand. Once the person is in, everything is easy to do. ”

Next, he began to teach the other party how to break through the rune formation.

Little by little, as time passed.

Nie Fei has already mastered it thoroughly and is handy.

The two were in a good mood and left the stone room and prepared to walk out of the underground palace.

"Nie Gongzi, wait a minute, I'll go and break up the people outside. ”

Jiang Yu was very cautious, he opened the door of the underground palace and walked out first.

"Patriarch!"

Seeing Jiang Yu come out, the guards outside hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Didn't you eat today? I don't have any energy at all. Go, change the next group. ”

Jiang Yu scolded sharply.

The guards did not dare to disobey, so they had to leave in a huff.

In fact, this group of guards was just exchanged, and the first batch had already been replaced by Jiang Ling in the same way.

Although they didn't dare to say it, they were wondering in their hearts: Did the eldest lady and the patriarch quarrel, and who was caught and scolded whom!

Taking advantage of the gap between the guard shifts, Nie Fei left the dungeon in a grand manner.

So as not to make people pay too much attention or be suspicious, he lowered his head and followed behind Jiang Yu humbly.

Some patrolmen on the road saw him, and they only thought that he was an unlucky person who was being taught a lesson by the patriarch, and did not pay special attention.

"I can't imagine that in this thick fog, there is another world. ”

While walking on the road, Nie Fei's eyes were not idle. He looked left and right, and found that he was now on a mountain peak, surrounded by mountain peaks one after another, mountains and rivers connected to each other, and the cycle repeatedly, and countless houses were built along the mountain, high or low, row upon row, and everywhere was brightly lit.

On the whole, these buildings are like fire dragons lying on the mountain, which is extremely spectacular and shocking, and you can imagine how many people live and live in them.

This is not so much a secluded tribe as a hidden country that is not known to the world.

Of course, it is not unusual for a group to have lived here for 10,000 years, and this is not unusual.

"According to the genealogy, when my ancestor Emperor Fu discovered this place, he was also amazed and deliberately built this place into a huge imperial mausoleum, leaving a resting place for countless descendants. It's a pity that he just started working manually when he encountered a mutiny, and everything came to naught. However, it has become a place where our people live. ”

Jiang Yu's words were full of emotion.

Nie Fei listened quietly.

After a while, the two came to a house, and Jiang Yu instructed: "You wait in the house first, after I arrange it, someone will come to you." ”

Nie Fei pushed the door and entered, closing the door tightly. He didn't light the lamp, and sat in the dark.

I don't know when, someone knocked on the door and whispered, "Nie Gongzi, the patriarch asked me to come." ”

Nie Fei opened the door and saw that it was a young man about the same age as himself, cultivated around the second stage of Quenyuan, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and good facial features.

The young man introduced himself: "My name is Jiang Yunchong, one of the eldest lady's guards. ”

Nie Fei nodded and let him into the room.

Jiang Yunchong was holding a bag in his hand, which contained a set of clean and tidy clothes, as well as a waist tag with the word 'patrol' written on it.

Nie Fei changed his clothes and tied the waist tag around his waist. At first glance, he looks like the people here.

Jiang Yunchong was dressed in the same outfit, presumably to pretend to be a patrolman.

The two of them stayed in the room for a while, and suddenly there was the sound of neat footsteps, but a team of patrols passed by.

"Nie Gongzi, follow me. ”

Opening the door, Jiang Yunchong was the first to walk out.

Nie Fei followed.

The two joined the group at the end.

These people were also arranged by Jiang Yu, which is not surprising.

The group of people did not stop, turned around seven times and eight times, and came to a courtyard with the words 'Elders' written on the door plaque. There are eight guards on duty at the door.

Jiang Yunchong turned his head and whispered in Nie Fei's ear: "Nie Gongzi, when you enter the backyard of the Elders' House, there is a pool that leads to the vicinity of the Holy Mountain. We'll just have to escort you here. ”

After saying that, he suddenly raised his leg and kicked the man in front of him.

The kick was not very forceful, but the man fell directly to the ground and knocked over several people in front of him.

"He's it, are you blind?"

"Lao Tzu just doesn't like you. ”

A group of people pretended to scuffle together.

"Hey, hey, hey, this is the gate of the Elders' House, if you have any grievances, go elsewhere to settle them. ”

Seeing that there was a fight at the door, the eight guards couldn't stand it anymore, so they hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade and pull the fight, never thinking that this was a trap at all, once they joined, they couldn't get out, and everyone caught them and beat them.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Nie Fei flashed and rushed in through the door.

- The house of elders is surrounded by runes, and it can only be entered through the gate.

"Noisy, what's going on outside?"

There was a lot of movement at the door, which immediately alarmed the elders in the elders' house.

But what when they come to the door?

At most, Jiang Yunchong and others were reprimanded.

After all, it is normal for young people to have quarrels and frictions between themselves, and no outsiders have ever been here, and they will not have many suspicions.

And Nie Fei, with his heavenly eye powers and unpredictable prophets, can completely avoid being discovered. Soon, he walked through the front yard of the House of Elders and into the backyard.

Thump!

Finding the pool, he dived without hesitation. There was indeed a passage under the water, a naturally formed cavern, which only allowed one person to pass through, and along the cavern, he came to a closed circular valley.

In the center of the valley, a snow-white mountain peak stands proudly, reaching into the sky, like a sword out of the sheath, and the momentum is impressive.

And around the entire mountain peak, the light of the runes is flickering, looming, adding to the mystery!
