Chapter 276: Exploring the Mysterious Mountain at Night
Hearing Xuan Ling'er's immature words, Ling Yu was slightly stunned, she didn't leak out of the mysterious mountain when she went to it, so how did Tang Jinxuan and Duanmu Yuhan know about it. Moreover, he couldn't imagine that such a cold person as Duanmu Yuhan would actually tell Xuan Ling'er these things.
However, Ling Yu reacted very quickly, and after being surprised, he just smiled slightly and said, "Ling'er, my brother just went to the imperial capital to visit a friend of the master, and he will be back in a few days." Ling Yu's face was as usual, and he didn't want to tell Xuan Ling'er about the mysterious mountain.
"Well, Ling'er knows that no matter where my brother goes, he has to take care of himself. Ling'er is waiting for her brother to come back at the Shenwu Academy, I will listen to the words of the two sisters, brother don't worry. "Xuan Ling'er is very smart, she just passed on a reassuring look to Ling Yu, and she didn't break it.
"Senior Sister Tang, I know that I have offended you a lot before, and today Ling Yu apologized to you. I also hope that Senior Sister Tang has a lot of them, and she won't be like me, a vulgar layman. Ling Yu bowed deeply to Tang Jinxuan and said earnestly.
"Flim Tongue! Don't play tricks with me here, don't worry, I'll take care of Ling'er. She's not just your sister, she's our sister too. Tang Jinxuan seemed to have guessed what Ling Yu was thinking, and turned a blind eye to his sugar-coated cannonball, and said angrily.
"Senior Sister Tang is really smart, since this is the case, Ling'er will entrust it to you. This is the women's dormitory, so I don't want to disturb it, so I take my leave. Ling Yu laughed and said softly. He knew that Tang Jinxuan was a typical knife-mouthed tofu heart, and she said that she would take care of Ling'er, so there must be no problem.
"Wait!" Just as Ling Yu turned around and was about to leave, Tang Jinxuan's silver-bell-like voice came from behind him.
"Senior Sister Tang, is there anything else?" Ling Yu heard Tang Jinxuan's words, quickly turned around and asked softly.
Tang Jinxuan bit her lip lightly and hesitated for a while before she spoke: "I know you want to go to the Mysterious Mountain to explore the secret treasure, but it is not an ordinary place. I heard my grandfather say that there are not only strange treasures hidden in the mountain, but also the top people sleeping in it. Even Senior Jing and Senior Sikong don't dare to set foot in it easily, I advise you not to wade into this troubled water. Moreover, there are many forces that go to the Mysterious Mountain this time, and it is difficult to gain anything with your cultivation. If you are discovered by the Bai family, they will inevitably find ways to target you. Don't think about it, I don't care about you, I'm thinking about Ling'er. ”
"I know, but since I dare to go, I must be prepared. If the Bai family wants to take this opportunity to get rid of me, it will be too fantastic. Ling Yu's eyes were sharp, and he said loudly. Then, the corners of his mouth suddenly raised a hint of cunning, and he said to Tang Jinxuan: "So, Senior Sister Tang, don't worry, I will definitely return safely." As for your concern, I accept it. Ling Yu regained her old hippie smile and said with a big grin.
"You, you prodigal son!" Hearing Ling Yu's ridicule, Tang Jinxuan's jade face instantly turned red with shame, this scene was very similar to the past in the Sumeru space. I saw Tang Jinxuan "oops", stomped on the lotus foot, pulled Xuan Ling'er and turned around and left.
Looking at the shadow of Tang Jinxuan leaving, Ling Yu's eyes became pure, he just didn't want Tang Jinxuan to continue this topic. Ling Yu's gaze swept to Xuan Ling'er, and said softly, "Ling'er, you have to protect yourself, my brother will be back soon." ”
Ling Yu returned to her residence and meditated cross-legged to recuperate. When he opened his eyes again, it was already moonlight. Ling Yu looked at the sky, it was almost the end of the hour. He put the necessary things for this trip into the Boundary Spirit Ring and called the three of them up.
If the distance of two hundred miles is changed to a worldly person, I am afraid that it will take three days to reach it, but Ling Yu and the others are all people with profound cultivation, and for them, the two hundred miles road is not very far.
The four of them disguised themselves as daytime, a Taoist, a scholar, a bandit, and a strong man. Taking advantage of the moonlight, several people sneaked out of the Shenwu Academy and galloped away in the direction of Chishui.
Ling Yu had already taught Xiao Hei and Wu Dao the body method of the Holy Dragon Crossing, and after Shi Chen received the inheritance of Shakya, he also mastered the wonderful technique of crossing the river with a reed. Therefore, it only took one hour for the four of them to come to the bank of the Chishui River, at the foot of the Mysterious Mountain.
The four of Ling Yu took out the Hidden Spirit Stone from the Realm Spirit and put it on their bodies. With the double insurance of the Hidden Spirit Stone and the Night Walking Clothes, Ling Yu believed that as long as the four of them acted cautiously, they would definitely be able to avoid everyone's sight and divine sense, and quietly sneak into the mysterious mountain.
At this time, they have come to the Chishui River, the Changhe River and Chishui are the ancestral rivers of the Chinese continent, since the ancient times, the ancestors of China have lived on the banks of these two ancestral rivers and multiplied. Therefore, the Chishui River has extraordinary significance for the Chinese people. The Chishui River runs through the entire Chinese continent, and its branches meet in the East China Sea and eventually flow into the azure sea. And this Chishui near the imperial capital is not a tributary, but the main stream. It can be said that it has witnessed the rise and fall of China from ancient times to the present.
The Chishui River is about a thousand feet wide, and the people standing on both sides of the river look at each other, and they are as small as ants in each other's eyes. At this time, there were more than 10,000 cultivators gathered on both sides of the Chishui River, all dressed differently, keeping a certain distance from each other, faintly showing the meaning of precaution. There are also sects gathered in twos and threes, which seem to form some kind of alliance and are united with the outside world. Torches were lit on the periphery of all forces, illuminating the lights on both sides of the Chishui River as if it were daytime. Some of them whispered, some had solemn faces, and some stared at the mysterious mountain in deep thought. Ling Yu and the others were in the shadows, and found that the seniors of the Shenwu Academy were talking in a low voice with Qi Yu, the prince of the Imperial Capital Imperial Family, and in this camp, in addition to the Shenwu Academy and the Imperial Capital Imperial Family, there were also two forces involved. Although Ling Yu didn't know who those two forces were, he saw that Bu Yunzhu and Yi Han were in those two forces. He guessed that the other two forces allied with the Imperial Capital Imperial Family and the Shenwu Academy should be the Forging Yi Family and the Oracle Bu Family.
Ling Yu's gaze passed through the four forces, and when he looked into the distance, he found that Bai Kun, the head of the Bai family, was also standing prominently, surrounded by several middle-aged men with respectful faces and flattery. Judging from their clothing, they should also be other small sects that want to attach themselves to the Bai family.
In addition to the two camps that Ling Yu was more familiar with, there was also a force on Ling Yu's side, which was a very lonely force. The reason why they are lonely is because both the people of the Shenwu Academy and the Bai family have kept a great distance from this force. When the cultivators who were attached to the Bai family looked at this force, there was even a strong fear in their eyes, which made Ling Yu very surprised.
"Fat Wu, who are those cultivators in dark green clothes, how do you feel that the forces on the Bai family's side are very afraid of these people!" Ling Yu patted Wu Dao's shoulder and asked in a low voice.
"They are the people of the Valley of the Poison King, this group of people is ruthless, and they are both good and evil, and no one in the world wants to deal with them. The reason why Shenwu Academy has no fear is because Shenwu Academy has a heritage that is unimaginable to others, so it is fearless. But the Bai family is only a family in the imperial capital, not a pure martial arts family, and the strength of the Poison King Valley is something they can't afford to provoke, so they are afraid. The cultivators of the Poison King Valley are good at using poison techniques, which are unparalleled in the world, and their poisoning methods are endless, making it impossible to prevent them. Wu Dao whispered.
Ling Yu nodded, narrowing her eyes and looking at the other side. It was found that there were also many cultivators gathered on the other side of the Chishui River, and in the direction of the Shenwu Academy, there were two forces that were the most eye-catching. One of them was dressed in white, and most of them were male cultivators. And they all have long swords in their hands, and their momentum is amazing. Although they were far away, Ling Yu was already an Out-of-Body Realm cultivator, and he could vaguely sense the momentum of the other party. That group of people stood on the bank of the Chishui River, and the aura emanating from their bodies was like a sky-breaking sword, with a sharp edge exposed, and the fierce aura was fully displayed, approaching everyone's hearts.
And the other side of the force beside him is like the vast sea, extremely tolerant. The forces on that side were all monks, and the yellow robes on their bodies were particularly conspicuous. These Buddhist monks sat on the ground, and the Sanskrit sound in their mouths was pervasive, like Huang Zhong Da Lu, refreshing people's hearts and spleens.
"They are the cultivators of the Heavenly Gate Sword Sect and the Hongfa Pavilion, but this Tianmen Sword Sect is located at the intersection of Zhongzhou and the East China Sea, thousands of miles away from Zhongzhou, why did they come? Moreover, the Hongfa Pavilion is also a force in the Western Desert, how did they learn about the Mysterious Mountain?" Wu Fatzi pondered.
"Don't care so much about it now, it's already overcrowded here, it is estimated that there will be more people tomorrow, while they haven't climbed the mountain yet, we'd better sneak into the mysterious mountain before them." Ling Yu looked at the forces that were bound to obtain the supreme treasure of the Mysterious Mountain, and said softly.
The four of Ling Yu were about a mile away from the Chishui River, so they couldn't hear the words of the Shenwu Academy and the Bai Family cultivators, but judging by their expressions, they should be discussing something in order to reach some kind of consensus. The four of Ling Yu were alone, and the Bai family was eyeing the riverside, so it was impossible for them to expose their whereabouts. The best way to do this is to climb the mountain before anyone notices them.
Ling Yu nodded at Wu Dao and the others, slowly retreated, hid his figure, and walked along the river bank into the distance. Mystic Mountain is located in the center of the Chishui River, and within two miles of Mystic Mountain on both sides of the riverbank, it is occupied by various forces. If Ling Yu and the four of them want to climb the mountain, they must find a no-man's land, dive into the river, and bypass everyone to climb the mountain again.
Ling Yu and the four of them walked a full three-mile journey, and finally avoided the observation range of the forces of all parties. Ling Yu stood on the shore and looked at the mysterious mountain. There is only one peak in this green mountain, about 800 zhang high, and the peak is steep and difficult to climb. The mountains are densely forested, and each tree is one zhang thick. Mystic Mountain suddenly "grows" out of the water, and it's hard to imagine how these ancient trees grow. Ling Yu looked up at the foot of the mountain and found that at the peak of the mysterious mountain, it seemed that something was constantly rising and falling, and there was a golden light flashing between the ups and downs, as if a person was breathing. Ling Yu guessed that this thing that kept rising and sinking should be the treasure that everyone said.
"Huh, something is wrong!" Just as Ling Yu was about to dive into the river, he was suddenly interrupted by Wu Dao's voice. Ling Yu turned his head to look and found that Wu Dao's brows were tightly locked, as if he was puzzled.
"Fat Wu, what's wrong?Did you notice anything?," Ling Yu came to Wu Dao's side and asked. He knew that although Wu Dao was laughing and shameless on weekdays, he was extremely knowledgeable and would not suddenly stop himself.
"Xiao Yu, if a high mountain suddenly falls down or 'grows' in a river, will the river overflow the river bank or divert due to the narrowing of the river?" Wu Dao looked at the turbulent river and asked Ling Yu.
Hearing Wu Fatzi's words, Ling Yu and the three of them fell into deep thought. Everyone said that this mysterious mountain "grew" out of the red water, but no one knows if the rumors are true. Because this mysterious mountain seems to have appeared out of thin air, when everyone found out about its existence, it was already standing on the shore of the red water. If it really "grows" out of the red water, then the river must have overflowed to the banks due to the sudden narrowing of the river, but the result is that the river is unimpeded and not hindered at all.
"You mean, this mysterious mountain doesn't come from Chishui, but floats on it?!" Ling Yu asked in surprise as if he had suddenly figured out something.
