It is autumn, the sky is high and refreshing, the moon is bright and the wind is clear. Zhang Qiang strolled in the 'ghost fog forest' when he came, a gust of wind blew, and it was cold, Zhang Qiang inadvertently took out the black cloak given to him by the two Hu Li sisters in the cloth bag on his body and put it on. I couldn't help muttering: "The cool breeze of the beginning of autumn arrives", "The autumn is in the morning, and the evening is cool", it seems that after the autumn, it began to cool down, this ghost fog forest, ghosts were rampant when they came, but now they are gone, it seems that after subduing the 'ghost king' before, and a few little ghosts, there is no trace of the ghosts here, and the world is really changeable. "Actually, what Zhang Qiang didn't know was that counting the few ghosts that they had collected before, as well as some that Zhencai and Little Heavenly Master Zhang Yang had subdued, plus Kong Ming and Zhang Zhen passed by here and received a few of them;

At dawn, Zhang Qiang came out of the ghost fog forest, found a vacant lot at random, leaned against a big stone with his back, and began to close his eyes and meditate and rest. I don't know how long it took, but suddenly a voice came from my ear: "Hey, hey, young man, why are you alone in this forest, and what about the others?"

When I looked up, I saw an old man with a hoe in his hand and a bamboo basket on his back, standing in front of Zhang Qiang. Zhang Qiang was shocked for a while: "It stands to reason that when I meditate and absorb spiritual energy, I feel the natural spiritual power, and there are people walking within tens of meters around, I should feel it." Could it be that this unattractive old man in front of him is a hermit master?" ”

"Haha, the young man has a good memory, I changed my outfit today, and I was still recognized by you. I happened to come out this morning to collect medicine, and I saw you meditating and cultivating here. Hehe..."The old man stroked his beard and smiled.

"I don't know what the seniors are looking for the juniors, what is the so-called thing? In front of me, who can enter silently, I guess the seniors are masters of the Tao. Zhang Qiang wondered.

"Young man, my mind is still thoughtful, you and I are destined, it's only been a few days, and we've already met twice. But young man, you are really blessed, in just a few days, you have gone from 'beginning to take shape in Jindan' to now stable in 'Jindan', and faintly almost in the middle of 'human immortals'. That's why I'm curious, and I have to come up and say hello to you. By the way, what about the two little fox demons who came with you, and your uncle?" said the old man laughed.

"The seniors praised it falsely, and the juniors are just lucky. Don't hide it from my predecessors, the two sisters Hu Li, who came with me before, are now the heirs of the 'Fox Fairy' clan, and my uncle is still catching up with the Fox Daqian's predecessors. Zhang Qiang replied respectfully. I thought in my heart: "Look at this old man, he shouldn't be a treacherous person, he should be a cultivator of my generation, and he has the right to raise the name of Fox Daqian's predecessors and test it." ”

"Haha, the old immortal is still there, I haven't seen this old guy for many years. The old man said a little excitedly.

"I don't know which one of my predecessors is my Daomen? Presumably the seniors and the old predecessors of Fox Daqian are old friends. Zhang Qiang couldn't help but ask.

"Young man, it is estimated that not many people remember the old name, so you have the right to call me 'Old Man of the Mountains and Forests'. The old man laughed.

"Uh..." Zhang Qiang was speechless for a while, what is the name of this 'old man in the mountains and forests'. Does it mean 'to retreat to the mountains and forests'?" Zhang Qiang pondered. "The predecessors must have been hidden in the mountains and forests for many years, and they don't care about the world, so they call themselves the 'old man in the mountains', right?"

"Yes, yes, smart heart, I have this junior in my Daomen, and I can be regarded as a successor. The old man nodded knowingly and said softly.

"I've been chatting for so long, I don't know what the seniors are looking for me, and the juniors still have important things to leave first. Zhang Qiang tried to ask.

"Haha, since you and I are fated, and your kid is also fated to that old guy, I'll give you a small chance. Come with me, young man. The old man laughed.

"This old man, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd? Okay, since you have no malice and are a fellow senior, you can go around at will. Zhang Qiang thought to himself. Then he arched his hand and said: "Then Senior Lao will lead the way." ”

Zhang Qiang followed the old man of the forest guard, walked around the edge of the ghost fog forest for about ten miles, and came to the mountain with dense stone forests, and on the top of this stone forest, there were several stone houses faintly visible.

"Stone House!" Zhang Qiang said in surprise.

I saw that there were three stone houses on the north side of the mountain, but now the stone houses are full of plants and vines, and the walls are full of etc., and the stones are faintly cracked. Apparently I don't know how many years no one has lived there.

In front of these three stone houses, there is a wide side of the lake, which is more than ten zhang long and wide.

"Senior, there are big pits on the top of this mountain. You see, deep ditches. Zhang Qiang found some special traces on the top of this mountain.

Those big pits and deep ditches seem to have been smashed down by giants with sledgehammers, and the deep ditches are very long, one by one, and very messy.

The old man of the forest ranger said with a smile: "This is the trace left by the fight between the two 'Earth Immortal' peak powerhouses, and ...... Both of them are very strong, and one of them is a blunt weapon like a sledgehammer or a fist. And the other person should use a sword!, this big pit should be the traces left by the predecessors with their fists. And those ravines were left by a strong man with a sword. ”

Zhang Qiang also nodded in agreement.

"These big pits and ravines are just the destruction caused by the spiritual power of the two seniors who escaped!" said the old man of the forest ranger, "It can make these two strong people unable to completely control their spiritual power." These two ...... It should be a fight of life and death!" The old man of the forest ranger is also a 'Earth Immortal' powerhouse, and he knows very well the strength of the 'Earth Immortal Peak' powerhouse!

The peak master of the earth immortals, one move and one style, the spiritual power is completely restrained.

Unless you encounter a fierce opponent and fight to the death, you will not be able to control it.

"I searched inside and outside this stone house many times, but I didn't find anything, only in this small lake, I didn't look for it, the reason is that I fought fiercely with the masters of the evil sect in my early years, and I had a strange poison in my body, so I couldn't use too much spiritual power, and I couldn't use thunder and fire spells to restrain the 'Ice Silkworm Little Demon' in the cold pool deep at the bottom of the lake. So I can only bother the young man to go into the lake once, but as long as you temporarily drive away the 'Ice Silkworm' demon and get the treasure chest at the bottom of the lake. Do you understand?" said the old man of the forest ranger.

"But listen to the seniors. Zhang Qiang replied. I was depressed for a while: "This opportunity is really given, it seems that you have to do coolies first." ”

Pulling out the 'Qingwei Thunder Fire Sword' on his waist, condensing the spiritual power of his whole body, Zhang Qiang stomped his feet violently! Relying on the 'Qingwei Thunder Fire Sword' infused with spiritual power to open the way, Zhang Qiang dived towards the cold pool at the bottom of the lake.

Fall!

Keep falling!

Twenty zhang!

Thirty zhang!

Forty zhang!

......

"Wow, it's so cold at the bottom of this lake, it's so cold and uncomfortable. If you want to change yourself who had no spiritual power a few months ago, it is estimated that you will have frozen to death. Zhang Qiang exclaimed in his heart. Concentrate on it, and use the spiritual power of the whole body to carefully sense the objects on the side walls around the cold pool, and there are some objects on the side walls of the deep cold pool, which are references. Zhang Qiang can rely on the reference object to identify his approximate descent distance.

Keep falling!

"It's deep, it's underground. I've sunk for almost 200 meters. Zhang Qiang felt extremely cold and cold, and at the same time-

"Click~~"

The 'Qingwei Thunder Fire Sword' in his hand, the sword body began to freeze slightly.

It's so cold that it can freeze the 'Qingwei Thunder Fire Sword', what a low temperature.

"Cold pervert. Zhang Qiang has never felt such an extremely cold temperature, as if the strong muscles and epithelia have no obstruction effect, those extreme cold directly stimulate the bones, and even faintly stimulate the internal organs, cold, the whole body is cold, "It seems that you have to use internal strength!"

Fierce internal strength, crazy running all over the body, resisting low temperatures.

"Whew, whew, it's finally much better. Zhang Qiang's careful eyesight could barely see three or four meters around.

"Huh?"

Zhang Qiang looked down carefully, "What the hell?" The bottom was blurry, and there was a faint purple halo, just this very faint red halo, so that Zhang Qiang was enough to see the distance of seven or eight zhang at once, and as he got closer, Zhang Qiang noticed that the temperature began to rise.

Yes, the originally extremely low temperature has actually begun to rise.

But when Zhang Qiang's feet fell, he was finally pleasantly surprised that this was the bottom of the cold pool.

"Huh, the bottom of this cold pool, it's so hot, and it's tinged with a red halo, strange. Zhang Qiang was very surprised, he finally knew why the water near the bottom of the pool was heating up. That's because of the strange ore at the bottom of the pool.

Take a closer look around the bottom of the pool.

Because of the visual range, there is a distance of seven or eight zhang, and Zhang Qiang can quickly identify the situation at the bottom of the pool.

"The bottom of this Bihan Pond is about ten zhang wide, and the length is ...... There are more than 20 zhang. Zhang Qiang looked carefully at the left side, because only the left side of the Hantan mountain wall at the bottom had a passage two or three zhang long and wide, "It turns out that the water of Hantan flows from this channel." ”

Zhang Qiang found that the closer he got to the direction of the passage, the colder the water became.

There was no living thing at the bottom of the pool, no plants, just one thing, a strange red-glowing, hot-smelling ore. On the surface of the bottom of the pool, there are several pieces of this ore scattered.

"Hmm. Zhang Qiang picked up a piece, this ore itself has a very faint red halo, in the dark conditions at the bottom of the cold pool, this red halo can be seen, it is estimated that in the outside world during the day, it is estimated that it will not be able to see clearly.

"In such extremely cold conditions, it emits heat. And the heat is still high. It should not be an ordinary ore. Take it back and let the seniors above identify it. "Zhang Qiang picked up the ores scattered at the bottom of the pool one by one and put them into the 'thunderbolt small cloth bag' that he carried closely.

Immediately, Zhang Qiang turned to the left, and the water source channel of the Hantan approached the past.

"Whew, it's cold. It was pitch black inside, and the visibility was even lower, so I didn't know what was there. Zhang Qiang watched the passage carefully, but in the depths of this underwater passage, there was no such strange ore, so it was pitch black, and Teng Qingshan could only barely see the distance of two zhang, and he didn't know what was in the depths of this mysterious underwater passage.

Suddenly, Zhang Qiang felt a crisis in his heart...
