The scholar on the rattan chair stood up at this time, he first moved his limbs, and then put all the books around him aside, before turning back to the monk and saying, "Are you going to the imperial capital?" ”

The monk replied, "It should be the right direction." ”

The scholar nodded: "Well, that's pretty much it." It's time for me to go, too. ”

The monk took a step forward and asked, "Dao Master, what should you do next?" ”

The scholar smiled and said, "Your task is to monitor the aftershock map, as long as the aftershock map goes down the mountain, it is best to capture it alive." If you can't be captured alive, it's up to you whether you kill or stay. You are a man sent by the Sect Master, so you don't have to listen to me. ”

The monk shook his head and continued, "Should you kill or stay?" Please show me the way. ”

Seeing that the Flesh Buddha said so bluntly, the scholar said helplessly: "Do you know that there are many disciples in the sect, why did this matter be sent to your head." ”

The Flesh Buddha pondered for a moment and said, "The other vein in the sect was overcome, and the whole army could only be wiped out when he came here. So the matter of catching the aftershock diagram falls on our side. ”

"You're half right. People in the other vein really can't see the aftershock, the aftershockmap holds the deepest secret of the "Ghost Sutra", and the ghost path is burdened by the "Ghost Sutra", and there is no power to parry in front of the aftershock. But that's not all there is to you. ”

"And what's the reason?"

"Because in my vein, only you have no weaknesses, and people without weaknesses are the best people to perform this task."

"I don't understand."

"You'll understand later. The aftershock diagram is of great use to the sect leader, so don't kill it easily. I think it won't take more than three months for the Sect Master to send people to besiege Yashan, and your task is to look at the aftershock map during this period. ”

"Disciple understands."

After the scholar finished speaking, he put the book beside him in the bamboo basket on the side, then carried it and said to the monk: "Let's go." ”

Get out of the thatched hut and look in the direction and walk towards the north. Calm slowly returned to the valley.

On the cliff mountain, everyone in the Tianji Gate had breakfast, and Tianjisu left Du Jie alone by his side.

After everyone retreated, Tianjisu took out a small bottle from his arms, played with it in his hand for a while, and then reluctantly took it to Du Jie: "Take it." ”

Du Jie reached out and took a look at the vial, not knowing what Master was doing, he asked with some confusion, "Master, what is this?" ”

"Amber gall."

"Amber gall? What is it? ”

Tianjisu glanced at the small bottle in Du Jie's hand again with some greed and said, "What is it?" If I had such a thing at the beginning, my achievements might not be limited to this, but Master didn't have a good life for you. This is a first-class good thing in the world, amber gallbladder can be washed by the I Ching, and it is an excellent medicine for forging the body. In principle, the younger you are, the better it is to use, but this medicine is a little painful to use. I'm so young that I can't support it. So you use it just right now. ”

After hearing this, Du Jie was overjoyed and put it directly into his arms: "Thank you, Master." ”

"Don't thank me, someone else asked me to give it to you." Tianjisuo's heart was still sour when he thought of this, and he looked at Du Jie and said: "You got the amber gall bladder to wash the marrow of the I Ching, and you got relics before to improve your physique." Your kid is limitless in the future, I'm afraid that Chu Mu will not be your opponent when he is the most powerful. But do you kid still have any secrets, otherwise so many people went to Wanbao Mountain, how to pick immortals, and you were chosen alone. ”

Du Jie smiled a little shyly, and said to Tianjisuo: "I grew up in the military camp since I was a child, and after I came back, the master took me to Yashan, what is the secret. ”

Speaking of this, Du Jie put away his smile and said, "Master, the Northwest Land has been made like this by a cult. Now there is no one to take care of. What's next? Isn't it possible to be so laissez-faire? With so many people in the northwest, they can't stand the toss. ”

When Tianjisu heard Du Jie's words, he also frowned and sighed: "Chu Mu also asked me, I still can't make up my mind whether to send the news to Jialan Temple, Jie'er, you are the immortal master of picking immortals, it's good that you have such worries." As an immortal master, everything in the world must be considered. The fact that the cult has moved from the coast of the East China Sea to the northwest is probably not very simple. But I had a vague guess in my mind. But none of this is confirmed. ”

"What speculation?"

"This speculation was also discovered by reading the "Atlas of the Nations" for half a day in the past two days. When the cult began to maneuver with martial arts people in the land of the two states, it was mainly in the Penglai area, but now it has moved to the northwest and gone to the desert. If you add the place where the cult was born. These three places happen to be the places where the Flying Stone was discovered before. ”

"Flying Stone?"

Zhou Li pondered for a while before saying: "The Nine Dragons Soul Chasing Gun behind you is made of the Flying Stone, this Flying Stone is strange and abnormal, it has been a hundred years since it was first discovered from these places, but the surface is still hot. The Falling Dragon Stream behind the cliff mountain was put for decades before slowly becoming cooler. But what exactly is the cult plotting, could it be that they have other things in those four places besides the Flying Stone? ”

At this time, Du Jie asked again: "Master, just now you said that the place where the cult was born, and the master knows the origin of the cult?" ”

"That place and that place are very strange, it may be in Taihang Mountain, or it may be in Qinling."

"Taihang Mountain? Qinling? These two places are so far apart, Master, I don't understand what you mean. ”

"If you don't understand, I'm a little confused."

Seeing that his master was talking one sentence at a time, Du Jie changed the topic and said, "Master, the name of the cult has only been known to everyone in the past few decades, but the origin of this cult does not seem to be recorded. I heard the monk say that the contemporary sect leader Yunjuan Shu defected from the Immortals, so was the Three Tribulations Sect founded by Yunjuan Shu? ”

"Maybe, maybe not. But most likely not, speaking of the origin of the Three Tribulations Sect, I do know one thing, the battle of Xuanyuan Cave at the beginning was a little unbelievable. ”

"Xuanyuan Cave? What is Xuanyuan Cave? Does this have anything to do with the Three Tribulations? ”

"Xuanyuan Cave is the origin of the Three Tribulations Sect!"

Many years ago, when Tianjimen had just been established and had not yet gained a firm foothold, one day Zhou Li met a strange person who claimed to be an iron immortal. At that time, the two went to the Garan Temple together, and on the way, the iron arithmetic fairy showed him his astrological skills. The power of the Iron Calculation Immortal far exceeded Zhou Li's imagination, which amazed Zhou Li.

When they were about to separate, Tie Shuxian smiled and said to Zhou Li: "We are also fated. I send you a piece of news that there are four immortal grasses in the Taihang Mountains that are about to be born. Then Tie Suan Immortal introduced the appearance and efficacy of the four immortal grasses to Zhou Li in detail.

If he still told Zhou Li alone, he would definitely think it was a joke, but these words came from the mouth of Tie Shuxian, and Zhou Li was impressed by Tie Shuxian's ability along the way, but what he said now still made Zhou Li unable to believe it.

The four immortal grasses were guarded by the four fierce beasts known as the four fierces, and the dragon eight sons suppressed them in the Xuanyuan Cave.

What the Iron Calculation Immortal said seems to be a mythical story. Zhou Li couldn't stop swallowing his saliva, and he forced the horror in his heart and asked, "Is this true?" ”

Tie Shuxian smiled and said, "Your Excellency, why don't you go and verify it yourself." After saying that, he left.

Zhou Li had been shocked by this incident for a long time, if he hadn't had something particularly anxious to do in the Garan Temple, maybe he would have gone to find out.

The northern section of the Taihang Mountains, where there are few people, there are red land within a radius of thousands of miles, and even the mountains are bare, but in those years, they suddenly began to grow some grass and trees crazily.

Zhou Li collected information from all over the world at that time, and found out about this matter on an inconspicuous news, and his heart suddenly burst into mind, remembering the words of the Iron Immortal at the beginning. At that time, Zhou Li was in the prime of life, and after he saw the news, the ghost made a decision and came to the Taihang Mountains non-stop.

There are several villages at the foot of the Taihang Mountains, and when Zhou Li stopped here, he asked the surrounding villagers in detail about the changes that have taken place around them in recent years, what kind of people have come, and which ones have come out in the end, and which ones have not left. It doesn't matter if you inquire about this, according to the description of the villagers, most of the people who went missing were sinister and cunning people, and it is normal to say that the missing people basically have relatively high IQs. Those who have a single tendon basically come out intact.

Isn't that weird? Could it be that there is something in these 800-mile mountain range that likes to play with smart people? Zhou Li thought about it and finally gritted his teeth and decided to try it, he bought dry food from his fellow villagers, and then walked along the mountain road. At this time, it was the cold winter of Layue outside the mountain, and Zhou Li almost lost half of his life when he turned the first two mountains, and the mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk, not to mention the weather with the northwest wind blowing now. Fortunately, Zhou Li has a good foundation in martial arts, and he has resisted the two mountains.

The mountain roads in this mountain range are rugged and difficult to navigate, and there are few human tracks. And the direction of the mountain is not distinguished, it is easy to get lost, Zhou Li wanted to rest and rest, but he couldn't stop, listen to the fellow said, and then go through a mountain to get to the place where there are trees, here is a bare mountain, except for the stone is the soil, not even a firewood to burn, such a cold day, no firewood to burn to freeze to death.

He calculated his physical strength, thinking that if he turned over and walked back now, he should be able to hold on to the outside of the mountain, and if he couldn't find the way inside, he really couldn't get out. Zhou Li was hesitating, but he casually glanced at the other side of the mountain and immediately dispelled the idea of going, because his current mountain is relatively high, and he can completely see the inside of another mountain, where the mountains and forests are green and willows, a look of spring, this glance strengthened his belief, Zhou Li gritted his teeth and began to climb again, this is an act of going and no return, once the result is different from his expectations, it is likely to force himself into a desperate situation.

But Zhou Li knows that things in the world are like this, and if you want to get great benefits, you have to bear the same dangers accordingly. In this way, Zhou Li climbed another mountain, but when he crossed this mountain and walked forward, he found that the mountain road was actually gone.
