By the time most of the people in Meiwu City were able to react, the group outside the building had already traveled lightly and walked towards the depths of the Qinling Mountains. At the same time, the Yuwen clan also had the same move.

The rest of the sect families, although they were a little caught off guard for a while, after all, they had all experienced major rights and wrongs, so they were not flustered. On the one hand, they are methodically arranging to return to report the news, and on the other hand, they are also preparing to enter the Qinling Mountains in an orderly manner according to the previously established manpower.

Therefore, not long after Shen Kuang and his party left Meiwu City, the forces of all parties also rushed out and poured into the vast Qinling Mountains.

When that sky-high sword qi rose from the ground, Shen Jing was also sensitive. Although the current induction has become more and more sparse at the beginning of the comparison, he can still feel the special sword aura in the Qin Mountains.

Shen Kuang, who was familiar with the road and knew the direction, was in front, leading more than ten people all the way to Qinling.

Among these people, except for Dai Shuang and Jiang Ning, the rest of them are all fresh faces.

Although only one day has passed, since that night, the inexplicable charm has dissipated between Shen Jing and Jiang Ning, and the relationship between them has become clear and complicated in silence. It's still the same as before, it seems that they have only become more familiar, and if you want to ask why, it is probably only the two of them who know.

————

The depths of the Qinling Mountains are dangerous, this is the consensus of all the people living in and around Meiwu City.

Most of them are stories handed down by the older generation, and most of them are ethereal things such as mountain spirits and ghosts. It's just that as time goes by, people's fear of these things becomes more and more shallow. Until now, few people still believe in this, but the reverence for the mountains is still there, and it has never been blasphemed.

For these mountain spirits and ghosts, Shen Jing has always believed in them.

The master used to say that the depths of the Qinling Mountains were dangerous, and even he didn't dare to set foot in them easily. At that time, Shen was curious, but the master didn't mention much about the dangers. It's just an understatement. But for those mountain spirits and ghosts, strange monsters and fairies, the master really said.

The master said that in this world, many religious sects that believe in Taoism still believe in these. Dating back far to ancient times, recalling the previous dynasties in the near future, the records of these mountain spirits and ghosts in the "Miscellaneous Records" have long been common. It is only towards the present that there are fewer records of such stories, but most people who practice martial arts still know a thing or two about these.

For this kind of interesting story, Shen Kuang had only told it in novels or old people who had heard stories in small gardens on the streets. At that time, Shen Jing still didn't believe it, and it wasn't until he heard the master talk about it later that Shen Guo believed it. At that time, Shen was limited to the fact that there were too few texts to be consulted to verify them from books.

The master said that it is not easy for these mountain spirits and ghosts to cultivate, and it is even more difficult to become a spirit or even transform into a human. The spirits have their own set of cultivation systems, which their predecessors have unified into "Fa", which is a system that is very different from the cultivation of today's people. The cultivation of these mountain spirits and ghosts can also be roughly divided into four levels of great realms, namely the spirit body, the qi, the initiation, and the transformation.

Mountain spirits and ghosts are difficult to cultivate, compared to human cultivators, the strength of transformed mountain spirits and ghosts has generally reached the Grandmaster Realm, and even a few points stronger than the ordinary Grandmaster Realm. At the same time, the spirits of the Transfiguration Realm have the ability to transform into humans, so they can even wander through the world without being noticed. It's just that the advanced transformation realm of the spirit stream is more difficult than the human grandmaster realm, and there are even very few mountain spirits and ghosts who can truly enter the spirit body realm. Therefore, it is normal for these rather secret things to be forgotten gradually.

However, the people outside the building obviously knew about the danger of Qinling, and they probably knew more than Shen Jing. Therefore, when the group entered the Qinling Mountains from the beginning, a group of people protected Shen Guo and Jiang Ning in the middle, Shen Guo indicated the direction, and the rest followed.

There was such a big commotion in the Qinling Mountains, which naturally attracted not only these people from Meiwu City, but also some people who were scattered in the rivers and lakes, wanting to take advantage of this to get a piece of the pie. Shen Kuang and the others encountered scattered four or five teams of people along the way, most of them were two or three people, but most of them were only one who was alone, and those people avoided them after noticing Shen Kuang and these people.

The people outside the building have no intention of making a move on those scattered people, firstly, it is unnecessary, and secondly, Shen is clear, and those scattered people who do not enter the stream alone cannot find the real place to hide the sword. In fact, those people also know in their hearts that most of their thoughts are to use this wisp of kendo breath to help their own cultivation, and most people will be willing to take some risks for such an opportunity that can be encountered but cannot be sought.

And in addition to these Jianghu people, the other major sects gathered in Meiwu City, Shen Guo did not encounter them, they were all deliberately done by various sects, and the purpose was nothing more than to avoid conflicts.

The group hurried from nightfall to the middle of the moon, and then found an open place to light a fire and rest. It happened suddenly, that's why they rushed overnight.

Five of them were on guard for a short distance, while the rest gathered around the campfire to rest.

Daishuang sat aside, holding firewood in her hand and constantly adding to the bonfire, her face was cold, staring at the bonfire without distraction, and she couldn't see any special emotions.

Jiang Ning and Shen Jing also sat side by side by the bonfire, and the two of them stared at the bonfire in front of them, each thinking something. At a certain moment, the two turned their heads and met each other's gaze, looking at each other and smiling.

"Nervous?" Jiang Ning picked up a short piece of firewood and threw it into the bonfire, and said softly.

"It's fine."

After speaking, Shen Kuang thought of the rumors about the danger in the depths of the Qinling Mountains, so he said slowly: "I have heard the master talk about the dangers in the depths of the Qinling Mountains, do you know these things, Miss Jiang?" ”

After Shen Jing finished speaking slowly, Jiang Ning turned his head to stare at him, and did not answer for a while.

Shen Kuang was also going to pick up a piece of firewood and throw it into the bonfire, but he didn't hear Jiang Ning's answer for a while, and he turned his head curiously to find that Jiang Ning was looking at him with a smile at this time.

Shen Jing thought about it slightly, then changed his words with a smile: "Jiang Ning, it should be called Jiang Ning!" ”

This is a tacit agreement between the two, even if it is just pretending, for the sake of nature, everything should not be too raw.

Jiang Ning smiled slightly, took Shen Qian's question and replied, "I know a little!" I heard that in the previous dynasties and even in the previous era, there were people who had contact with those mountain ghosts and spirits. But now, people in the world have become much thinner in their understanding of these things, so they know less. However, it is certain that there must still be these beings in the depths of the Qinling Mountains, even in the destination of our trip. ”

"You mean around the Fuxuan Sword?" Shen asked.

Jiang Ning nodded and said, "Hmm! The Fu Xuan Sword is a spiritual creature born between heaven and earth, and the aura contained in it not only attracts us, but also has a great attraction to these spirits, because it is very beneficial to their own cultivation. ”

"Jiang Ning, have you ever seen these spirits?"

"Not really! But Childe doesn't have to worry, there are too many people who have entered the Qinling Mountains this time, and those spirits dare not show up easily. Even if there are monsters comparable to the Grandmaster Realm, they don't dare, this world is no longer the world of these monsters after all. We are afraid to meet them, and they are just as afraid to meet us. ”

For these, Shen Qian is actually not worried.

Speaking of which. There was nothing for him to worry about. With Jiang Ning's identity, he didn't believe that Lou Wailou or that the Jiang family would casually let her get involved in these dangers, not to mention the invisible backhand, there must be all kinds of protective measures.

After the two of them finished talking about this, they immediately moved the conversation elsewhere. talked about how to capture the sword in the future, and more secret things in it. Of course, Shen Guo didn't know this, but Jiang Ning was talking, he was listening, and the atmosphere was calm and peaceful between every word.

The two people were talking to each other when a few faint fires and shallow whispers suddenly came from the distance behind them.

The group was immediately alert, and the five people who had originally scattered out to guard quickly turned around. The rest of the people got up and looked into the distance, and even Dai Shuang, who had been sitting quietly, got up and raised his eyes, and looked over vigilantly.

The group seemed to notice the fire, but they didn't take a detour. And listening to the momentum, there are more people coming from the rear, and it is likely to be a team traveling together.

Soon, amid the vigilance of Shen Kuang's group, the group of people behind them had slowly walked not far from them. After a few more moments, they gradually approached them.

When they got closer, the alert group relaxed only after knowing the identity of the visitor.

However, Shen Guo looked at the person who came with some surprise, it was none other than Ciyin and Dugu Nanqiao from Yunmeng Mountain.

I haven't seen each other for a while, and when I said goodbye, Nan Qiao looked at Jiang Ning, who was standing side by side with Shen Jing, and stopped talking for a while.

"Miss Dugu, Senior Sister Ciyin, Steward Liang!"

After recognizing a few people, Shen Kuang stepped forward and greeted them one by one. Jiang Ning followed closely behind him, did not speak, just bowed lightly to a few people, but she intentionally or unintentionally narrowed the distance between her and Shen Jing, the two were very close, all this Nan Qiao and Ciyin saw in their eyes, and the same daughter's family could know a trace of Jiang Ning's small move, but the two of them were calm in their hearts and did not show any reaction.

Louwailou and these forces in the Great Wei Dynasty have always been well water and do not interfere with river water, and even helped each other. So for Nan Qiao's party, Jiang Ning doesn't need to be too careful.

"Senior Brother Shen."

"Shen Gongzi."

After hearing Shen Jing's words, Ciyin and Liang Wenqin also replied one after another. They also glanced at Jiang Ning behind Shen Jing, and both of them knew her identity.

Nan Qiao's gaze also stayed on Jiang Ning for a moment, and then he looked at Shen Jing and said softly: "Shen... Son! ”

The title is relatively unfamiliar, but Nan Qiao didn't know what to call it for a while, her mind was a little confused, a little bit.

Both sides knew each other's purpose, so they didn't say a word about Fu Xuanjian, just a few words of greeting, and then passed by. When parting, Nan Qiao unconsciously glanced back at Shen Jing, just a glance.

But I didn't see what I wanted to see, and I didn't hear what I wanted to hear.
