After a few people had lunch, Ling Yu took Xuan Ling'er, Xiao Hei and Wu Dao accompanied by them, and the four of them played happily in the bustling imperial capital for an afternoon. Because I heard Xiao Hei say that Xuan Ling'er was worried after coming to the imperial capital, no matter how Xiao Hei and the two coaxed her, she had a sullen look. Wu Dao understood that Xuan Ling'er was worried about Ling Yu's safety, so she was not in the mood to go out to play at all. Now that Ling Yu has returned safely, Xuan Ling'er has finally returned to her former liveliness. On the way, Ling Yu told Xiao Hei and Wu Dao about what happened in the Northern Regions, and the two of them were also embarrassed.

The four of them went crazy until the moon branch before returning to Haohai Pavilion. Several people sat around the table, tasting food and discussing future plans. During this period, Ling Yu told Xiao Hei and the others about being highly poisoned.

"Xiao Yu, in my opinion, we should find a way to dissolve the poison in your body first, and then make other plans. After listening to Ling Yu's story, Wu Dao frowned slightly and suggested. Although he is well-informed, he is also helpless when it comes to poison arts.

"I think so, too, but before I can get rid of the poison, I have to do one more thing. Ling Yu pondered for a moment and continued: "I promised my master to help him bring a letter to Tang Ze, so I must first transfer the letter to him, and then find a way to detoxify. "Ling Yu and the others didn't plan to go to Zhongzhou when they left Tianji Gate, it was because of Su Luochen's entrustment that they decided to come to the imperial capital first. Now that everyone was only a stone's throw away from the Shenwu Academy, they simply found Tang Ze first and handed him the letter.

"In that case, without further ado, let's go to the Shenwu Academy tomorrow morning!" Xiao Hei is also a resolute character, after listening to the conversation between Wu Dao and Ling Yu, he nodded, and said loudly.

In the early morning of the next day, the four of them finished freshening up and went to Huangji Mountain. Before leaving, Ling Yu specially hired a carriage and worked part-time as a coachman, so that Xiao Hei and the three of them sat in the carriage. There are two reasons why he did this, one is that he doesn't want Xuan Ling'er to follow the few of them all the way, and second, the current Xiao Hei and Wu Dao are notorious, and Ling Yu doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble. Ling Yu was not a person who was afraid of things, but because he was unfamiliar with life here, and his cultivation was restricted, the reason why he did this was just because he was afraid of trouble.

Haohai Pavilion is not very far from Huangji Mountain, only fifty miles away, and the road is smooth, Ling Yu was afraid of delays on the road, and carefully selected two good horses. In this way, the speed of travel was much faster, and in less than two hours, the four of them came to Huangji Mountain.

"That...... Xiaoyu, you can just go up by yourself, and the three of us will wait for you at the bottom of the mountain. Xiao Hei looked at the dense crowd around him, and whispered in Ling Yu's ear.

"What's the matter? I don't know if I can come down today, so let's go up together, and take care of each other. Ling Yu handed the carriage to a guy from the Haohai Pavilion under the mountain, turned his head, and said to Xiao Hei.

The boss of Haohai Pavilion was a sixty-year-old man, and his son was an official in the imperial capital. Originally, it was the age of retirement, but the old man couldn't be idle, so he started the business of the restaurant, he was shrewd, well-managed, plus he was kind and benevolent, and he was righteous, Haohai Pavilion's business was doing well, and there were branches in many places. And this Haohai Pavilion restaurant at the foot of Huangji Mountain is one of the branches, although it is not as prosperous as the Haohai Pavilion in the imperial capital, but it also brings certain convenience to the cultivators who come to Huangji Mountain.

After delivering the carriage, Ling Yu turned her head to stare at Xiao Hei, smiling silently. He could vaguely guess what Xiao Hei was thinking, Xiao Hei and Wu Dao robbed past cultivators several times, and escaped in the middle of the attack between the imperial capital and the cultivators of the Shenwu Academy, he was afraid of being recognized and settling accounts with him.

"I'm really just worried about Ling'er, you see that she is still young, this Huangji Mountain is so high, the road is far away, you don't feel distressed, I still feel distressed!" Xiao Hei was stared at by Ling Yu and explained uncomfortably.

"Brother Xiaohei, I am a spirit beast, I grew up in the mountains of the Northern Regions since I was a child, honing my survival skills, this mountain road seems to be steep, but it can't help me. So, you don't have to worry about me. Xuan Ling'er didn't understand the meaning of Xiao Hei's words, and said innocently.

"Ahem, that, Sister Ling'er, we're worried about more than that. Wu Dao glanced at Ling Yu and winked at Xiao Hei again, as if he wanted Xiao Hei to speak.

"Uh...... Ling'er, in fact, there is another reason why we don't want to follow Xiaoyu up the mountain. Xiao Heibai glanced at Wu Dao, then touched Xuan Ling'er's head, and continued: "Before your brother Ling Yu didn't come back, we robbed the cultivators in the past, so that many people held a grudge against us. This Zhongzhou is not as good as the Northern Regions, and the Shenwu Academy is not a Tianji Gate, so we don't know anything about it. In this unfamiliar realm, if they want to seek revenge on us, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome, and you don't want to make trouble for Brother Ling Yu, right?"

"This ...... I can transform into this body, they don't know my body, and the mountains and forests here are dense, Zhong Lingyu is beautiful, they can't catch me. Xuan Ling'er thought for a moment and said seriously.

"But I don't have an ontology!" Wu Dao looked at Xiao Hei and Xuan Ling'er, with a bitter and hateful expression, and shouted aggrievedly.

"Let you usually do bad things, this time you will be punished!" Ling Yu was amused by Wu Dao's sluggish appearance, he looked up at the top of the mountain hidden in the cloud ring, and then said: "You guys go up with me, if something happens, I'll help you carry it." ”

After Ling Yu finished speaking, he raised his feet and walked down the bluestone steps towards the top of the mountain. Xiao Hei and Wu Dao glanced at each other, gritted their teeth, and finally followed.

At first, Ling Yu didn't feel anything abnormal. On his way from the northern region to Zhongzhou, it was indispensable to climb mountains and mountains, and for him, this was just an ordinary mountain road, and there was not necessarily any mystery. But when he reached the halfway point of the mountain road, he finally felt something abnormal. It's a pressure that comes from all sides, and the further you go up, the more pressure you get. This kind of pressure is different from the coercion of the saints, but it is an invisible pressure that sticks to the skin and attaches to the flesh and bones. They were everywhere, as if blocking every pore on the four of them, and it was a drowning-like sensation that suffocated.

Ling Yu looked up and found that there were also many cultivators around them, who were also resisting this invisible restraint. Those who have cultivated more advanced can still grit their teeth and resist hard, while some cultivators who have cultivated to a low level have already flushed their faces and sweated like rain.

"How are you doing? Can you still hold on? The mountain roads here are a bit weird, be careful!" Ling Yu turned his head to the three of Xiao Hei and asked.

"We have rough skin and thick meat, and this pressure is nothing. Xiao Hei and Wu Dao replied.

"I'm fine, although I feel like the pressure is overwhelming, but when it affects me, it becomes very weak, not very strong. Xuan Ling'er whispered behind Ling Yu. She was originally a spirit animal, and her perception and resistance to unknown pressures were much higher than those of Ling Yu and the others.

Hearing the answers of several people, Ling Yu nodded and continued to climb towards the top of the mountain. As their position became higher and higher, the pressure increased, and there were fewer and fewer cultivators around them. During this period, Ling Yu asked several times, and the three of them said that they could reach the top of the mountain.

After about an hour and a half, the four of them finally reached the end of the stone steps. At this time, they were less than a tenth of the way to the top of the mountain, and the number of cultivators around them had also decreased from more than 100 at the foot of the mountain to more than a dozen.

Ling Yu looked up and found that the hiking road was an extremely narrow and rugged mountain road, and adults had to turn sideways to cross it. The trail is extremely steep and there is no fence on the left, while the right side of the trail is a mirror-smooth rock wall. Standing on the mountain road and looking down, it is an abyss that cannot be seen to the end. Ling Yu picked up a stone and threw it down the mountain, and after a long time, he heard a small echo like wheezing. If you are a timid person, let alone climb the mountain, you will be scared if you look down.

"How is it? Do you still want to climb the mountain with me?" Ling Yu asked softly as she looked at Xiao Hei, who was breaking out in a cold sweat, and the corners of her mouth raised a hint of banter.

"When, of course, your brother Hei has never seen any big winds and waves, isn't it just a small mountain road, and the master is really not scared!" Xiao Hei looked at the pitch-black abyss under his feet, couldn't help but shiver, gritted his teeth and said.

"In that case, let's go?" Ling Yu smiled even more on his face, staring at the beads of sweat on Xiao Hei's head, and chuckled. Then, he turned to Xuan Ling'er and said, "Ling'er, you turn into your body, so that you can sit on my shoulder, and I will take you up the mountain." ”

"No need brother, I'm Xuanbing Mink, and I have a strong control over this mountain road, so you don't have to worry about me. I'll always be behind you, don't worry. Xuan Ling'er looked at the mountain road that winded into the clouds, and said with a smile to Ling Yu.

"Okay, be careful!" Ling Yu nodded and said solemnly to the three of Xiao Hei. Jokes are jokes, if you really accidentally fall down, it is estimated that with the cultivation of a few of them, it is strange not to fall into scum.

Ling Yu took a deep breath and took the lead, heading towards the top of the mountain. Xuan Ling'er followed, and Xiao Hei and Wu Dao were at the end. Xuan Ling'er was placed in the middle so that if there was any emergency, Wu Dao would be able to rescue him in time.

The four of them held their breath and stared, not daring to slack off at all, and cautiously groped towards the top of the mountain.

During this period, the four of them did not rest at all, not because they did not want to, but because there was no corner for them to rest. The mountain road leads from the end of the stone steps to the top of the mountain, and although the mountain road surrounds the highest peak of Huangji Mountain, the entire mountain road is only two feet wide, and it is impossible to stop for a long time.

The four of them climbed for another hour and a half, and finally saw the top of the mountain hidden in the clouds. At this time, whether it was Ling Yu, Xuan Ling'er, or Xiao Hei, the clothes on their bodies had been soaked through with sweat, and even Wu Dao, who had cultivated to a strong level, kept panting.

In the blind spot of the four people's vision, in a corner of the top of Huangji Mountain, the two old men were talking, and the content of the conversation revolved around the four people.

"Old Tang, these four people are not bad, they should be the twenty-ninth batch of people who have climbed to the top of the mountain in the past month, right?" The person who spoke had a loud voice, dressed in a white silk robe, with a burly figure, a white face and no beard, short hair, and silver flashing.

"Well, it's the twenty-ninth batch. But I don't think I've seen these four people somewhere......" The old man surnamed Tang stroked his white beard and fell into deep thought.

The old man surnamed Tang is thinner than the old man in the white shirt, he is wearing a dark blue silk shirt, a red face, big eyes, and a white beard. Although he is eighty, he is in good spirits, and he does not look old at all.

"I remember, I've seen this kid! When I met my granddaughter in a restaurant in Sixiang City, the kid who took the lead once glanced at my granddaughter, and probably had thoughts about my granddaughter, and was warned by us!"

"Come on, your granddaughter is spoiled by you, if anyone likes her, you can burn high incense! The old man in white scoffed at the words of the old man surnamed Tang and said sarcastically.

"Hey, old head, how can you speak! Let me tell you, you are jealous that I have a good granddaughter with excellent talent and beauty like a fairy......" The old man surnamed Tang said as he chased after the old man surnamed Gu.

With the two gone, the top of the mountain returned to calm, as if no one had ever visited......
