A thousand-year-old snow-capped mountain, in a snowy forest.

"It turns out that Mr. Ye, you have come to the Millennium Snow Mountain to look for the Ice Crystal Spirit Fruit, but in the recent Millennium Snow Mountain, there are not as many ice crystal trees that can bear fruit as in previous years, and even the ice crystal trees are visibly decreasing with the naked eye."

"Normal, after all, not every family grows vegetables and fruits, plus monks like me and the Frost Snow Deer have been looking for to pick the Ice Crystal Spirit Fruit or treat the Ice Crystal Spirit Fruit as a thing."

Ye Kui knew from Lu Sunan that the natural yield of the Ice Crystal Spirit Fruit was decreasing, and he was also a little worried in his heart, but he didn't know what to say.

"Mr. Ye doesn't have to worry about the ice crystal trees in the Millennium Snow Mountain disappearing, in the years I have lived in the Millennium Snow Mountain, I have found this a very magical place.

In fact, this thousand-year-old snow-capped mountain has its own temper, in addition to the number of ice crystal trees that can bear fruit is decreasing, there is also a plant called the earth's core snow cordyceps, which was even extinct for a time.

In the early years, this plant called the earth's center of the earth snow cordyceps and the ice crystal spirit fruit because of its special use, so they were constantly picked, and then the earth's center of the snow cordyceps suddenly became a trace, listening to other demon cultivators living in the thousand-year-old snow mountain, that will be the center of the earth snow insects for more than ten years.

Recently, however, I have discovered that seedlings of Cordyceps centric have begun to grow in an area of the 1,000-year-old Snow Mountain. ”

Shui Ran Demon Correction was telling Ye Kui about some of the things he had seen and experienced in the thousand-year-old Snow Mountain, vaguely revealing some specificities of this Snow Mountain.

"Sunan, do you mean that this thousand-year-old snow mountain still has a demon mountain king, or are you saying that this snow mountain is giving birth to its own and conscious spirits?"

"Mr. Ye, in fact, I haven't found the demon cultivator head or the so-called spirit of this thousand-year-old snow-capped mountain, but that feeling is like seeing and encountering pickpockets on the streets of the world, but the ones in the thousand-year-old snow-capped mountain belong to the category of fortune boys."

"According to what you say, there are beings like mountain gods and spirits in the thousand-year-old snow-capped mountain, or they have been secretly making offerings to this thousand-year-old snow-capped mountain, and then let other monks, demon cultivators, demon beasts and the like pick it."

What Ye Kui said was basically learned from ghosts and monsters in his spare time in Yaozhi County.

"Maybe it's true that as Mr. Ye said, after all, this snow-capped mountain has indeed existed for thousands of years, listening to other demon cultivators here, the thousand-year-old snow-capped mountain was originally a fairy gate ruins, and then it was gradually forgotten by the demons.

In the end, the immortal gate did not even have the ruins and name handed down, and the only thing left was this fairy gate story that I don't know if it was true or not, and it only circulated in the mouth of our demon clan. ”

"Senior Ye, are you okay? Just after a few of us, we felt that there was a demonic aura coming out here, and we were a little worried, so we rushed over to take a look. ”

After Lu Sunan finished speaking, the five-person group of monks led by Mao Lilian walked towards this side.

"It's okay, it just so happens that you're here too, we can start looking for the Ice Crystal Spirit Fruit."

"Mr. Ye, I'll go with you, although I haven't seen any traces of the ice crystal tree in this area, but I'm familiar with the road here."

After that, Lu Sunan also followed Ye Kui, Mao Lilian and a deer in other directions in the snow forest.

"You don't have to stay so far away from me, Mr. Ye has already told me everything about you, and now I won't make a move on the five of you."

Shui Ran Demon Xiu glanced at the Mao Lilian five-person group walking behind him and Mr. Ye.

"Demon cultivator's words are not credible, everyone should be careful."

"Listen to the boss, we'll take notice."

"Hey, let's lean on Senior Ye's side, the realm of this demon cultivator is higher than the five of us, plus when the two of us were chased and killed by this demon cultivator before, it seems that this demon cultivator has opened his mouth to his chest, and I panic when I think about it."

"It's... Yes, I agree, lean in. ”

However, Mao Lilian and the others did not let down their vigilance against Lu Sunan, so they hurriedly walked to the left of Ye Kui riding the frost snow deer, and Ye Kui's right was Lu Sunan.

"Mr. Ye, there is a big snow rift in front of you, and the crack in the middle of the rift can be crossed at will in the past, but now the crack is two zhang wide."

After reminding everyone, Lu Sunan also stretched out his hand and pointed to the conspicuous snow rift valley in front of him.

"What's this, we are all monks, and you yourself are demon cultivators, so you can go over at will."

Mao Lilian's subordinates couldn't help but respond to Lu Sunan.

"Sunan, what else should I pay attention to?"

Ye Kui glanced at the front that Lu Sunan was pointing at, and could vaguely feel the existence of some magic circles.

"Mr. Ye, the Snow Rift Valley ahead has been a bit unstable recently, and it may collapse at any time, and the place we are going to is to cross the lower area behind the Snow Rift Valley.

There may be ice crystal trees growing there, and if the Great Snow Rift Valley collapses, it will most likely bury all the places we are going to, so we will have to go to the next place to continue looking for the ice crystal trees with ice crystal spirit fruits. ”

"Okay, let's cross the snow in front of us and pay attention to the strength of our feet so as not to cause an avalanche-like situation."

"Senior Ye, don't worry, we will be cautious."

When Ye Kui reminded several other people, Ye Kui and his group of seven walked towards the Snow Rift Valley.

However, just when Lu Sunan had just crossed the big crack in the middle of the rift with the shivering frost snow deer on his shoulder, the frost snow deer finally couldn't help but be scared.

When the urine of the Frost Snow Deer was about to reach the back of the demon cultivator Lu Sunan, Lu Sunan had already smelled a smell of urine, so he hurriedly reacted and threw the Frost Snow Deer directly on the snow in front of him.

"You... You stupid deer want to pee on me! ”

Lu Sunan was a little depressed, he knew that when he was on the other side of the Snow Rift, he should have kicked this Frost Snow Deer directly!

However, the frost snow deer coincidentally smashed into the position of the Snow Rift Valley connecting the Great Rift under the Ice of Moudao, and at this point, the Snow Rift Valley where Ye Kui, Lu Sunan, and Mao Lilian were located began to collapse rapidly.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, only Ye Kui was the only one who directly flew with the sword and grabbed the others.

So it can be seen that Ye Kui is holding the right foot of the Frost Snow Deer with his left hand, and he is grabbing Lu Sunan's clothes with his right hand, while Mao Lilian and the others directly grabbed Lu Sunan's hands and feet in a panic.

Eventually, the seven hovered above the completely collapsed Snow Rift.

"Fortunately, Mr. Ye is here, as for a few of you, let me go."

"Senior Ye, don't let go, and you, a demon cultivator, are so ruthless and ignorant, now it's us who are Senior Ye, you're just stained with light!

"Don't make a noise, don't you see it down there? Damn, this looks too deep, it's a bottomless pit. ”

Lu Sunan and Mao Lilian were arguing and observing the surroundings, while Ye Kui ignored them, his eyes kept looking at the cliff and ice pit below.

"Let's go down, just now I felt the fluctuation of the mountain protection circle similar to that in the Immortal Gate, although it is very subtle, but it should be right."

After Ye Kui finished speaking, he flew directly down with Lu Sunan with an expressionless face, Mao Lilian with an uneasy face, and the Frost Snow Deer who could finally finish peeing.

"How come it gets down here and it's bright, and there seems to be a huge stone gate behind the cracked snow in front of me."

"It seems that it should be the hidden back door of the Immortal Sect or the Sect, it was estimated that it was buried by ice and snow before, and now it has just resurfaced after the collapse of the Great Snow Rift Valley."

"Senior Ye, should we go in and have a look? Looking at the style and oldness of this stone gate, it is estimated that there are no more or no guys in it now. ”

Mao Lilian and the others walked around for a while under the Great Snow Rift Valley, which had been completely changed, and saw the huge stone gate, but the surface and top of the stone gate did not indicate what place it was and the name of the fairy gate.

"Sunan, maybe this is the only site of the immortal gate that you said was forgotten by the monks and only circulated among the demon cultivators of the snow-capped mountains for thousands of years."

"I'm not sure, the immortal gate I mentioned earlier is like this snow rift, if you say no, there will be no other deeds."

"Let's go inside first."

After Ye Kui spoke, Lu Sunan was the first to walk to the side of the stone door, pressed his palms on the left and right sides of the stone door, and then used his demonic power to push the huge stone door open most of it.

"A few of us can't watch it in vain, we will be treated as bastards by Senior Ye, so go over and push it together."

"Yes, Boss."

"Forget it, this is for the sake of Senior Ye's face, we have temporarily cooperated with this demon cultivator, and we will remember to draw the distance with the demon cultivator in time."

"That's for sure, go."

After that, under the combined efforts of Lu Sunan and Mao Lilian's five-person group, the bilateral stone door was completely pushed open, and a long-standing breath floated out with dust.

When Lu Sunan and Mao Lilian saw this, they immediately pushed back some distance, for fear that there was some poison in the air, or something would come out of it.

"Keep walking in, it'll still be safe."

When Lu Sunan and Mao Lilian were still thinking about whether to wait a little longer, Ye Kui had already led the Frost Snow Deer into the stone door.

Lu Sunan and Mao Lilian saw Ye Kui so confident, and immediately followed Ye Kui's pace.

"There are a lot of corpses here, judging from the tattered clothes on their bodies, they have been dead for at least three hundred to five hundred years, and the style of the clothes they wear is also uniform, it is estimated that this is a fairy gate ruins."

After Mao Lilian walked into the stone gate, he began to analyze the situation at the scene.

"Boss, do you mean that there must be a treasure of the Immortal Gate here? Then we have to steal it all, and now we make a lot of money! ”

"What do you mean by stealing? We call this inheriting the will of our ancestors, otherwise the treasure here can only lie under this dark ice cave forever, it will be too buried! ”

"Ah, it's still right what you said, Senior Ye, don't get me wrong, we didn't want to steal."

The few monks under Mao Lilian were still a little afraid that their nature would disgust Ye Kui, so they hurriedly opened their mouths to defend themselves.

"Let's see if we can find anything, there's a corner ahead, it should be almost the end, now go faster."

Ye Kui was not as rigid as those monks thought, Ye Kui even thought about finding a large number of top-grade spirit stones here, so that he didn't have to do bounties and tasks in Hongfeng Pavilion all the time, and at the same time, he didn't have to think of other ways to find spirit stones everywhere.

When Ye Kui and the seven of them walked around the corner, they saw that there was a wide area inside, which was similar to the style of the ordinary hall of the Immortal Gate.

The difference is that the center of the place is a little higher, and there is a stone bed, and the ground of the stone bed is engraved with a lot of runes and more than a dozen small channels that I don't know what they are used for.

"Mr. Ye, most of the blood stains on that stone bed are... From our demon race, a small part of them are from human monks. ”

Lu Sunan immediately smelled the smell wafting from the dried blood stains on the stone bed in the distance, and told the identity of the owners of these mixed blood stains.

"You demon cultivator must be talking nonsense, this is the wounded treatment area of the Xianmen at a glance, how can you let your demon clan in."

"Shhh, now this demon cultivator has come in."

"Be quiet and quiet, let's listen to what Senior Ye has to say first."

Mao Lilian immediately interrupted the discussion of his subordinates, and then turned his head to look at Ye Kui, who was observing along the surroundings of the main hall.

"There's nothing to see here, there's a door over there, let's go."

This hall didn't seem to attract Ye Kui's attention, and Lu Sunan and Mao Lilian had no choice but to follow Ye Kui through a dark iron gate when they heard Ye Kui say this.

"Torture chamber! This must be the torture room, boss, Senior Ye, I know, those guys first tortured other people in the torture room, and then brought them to the stone bed in the big hall just now for treatment. ”

"It seems so, but it's also a bit too inappropriate as a torture cell, especially the wooden bookshelves around it that should be stacked with books or bamboo slips, and the remnants of upside-down figures on the walls."

"I look a little flustered at this painting, the person in the painting there seems to be smiling at me, and his face is the same as the one pasted on."

Mao Lilian's subordinates looked at this big hall that looked like a torture room and a study, and they rarely felt uncomfortable.

"Mr. Ye, look at the top of your head, there is a dry bone hanging from a certain arm of the human race."

Compared with only paying attention to the eyes of ordinary people, Lu Sunan once again discovered that there were dense human skeletons and broken arms of the human race on the extremely high dark ceiling of this hall because of his sensitive sense of smell and a new sense of vigilance unique to the environment.

"Maybe this is not the site of Xianmen, but the ruins of Zongmen."

"What does Mr. Ye mean by this?"

As a lonely demon cultivator who had basically never been in a place related to the Terran monks, Lu Sunan couldn't understand the meaning of Ye Kui's words.

"Demon cultivator, you don't understand this, do you? Ha ha. ”

"Sure enough, the demon cultivators are all stupid... Uh, it's fine. ”

"Ahem, cough, let me tell you, the immortal gate generally refers to the righteous path immortal gate, and the sect refers to the place where the evil cultivators who may behave a little biased towards the evil path stay."

Compared with his subordinates, Mao Lilian chose to explain the difference between the Xianmen and the Zongmen to Lu Sunan, because along the way, Mao Lilian felt that this demon cultivator was quite reasonable, but his temper might be a little weird, so he planned to ease the relationship between the two sides a little.

"Have you found that there is a corpse that has turned into white bones in the passage that just entered the stone gate, and there is no corpse in this torture-like hall and the white bone body in the hall with a stone bed just now."

When Ye Kui said this, his eyes had already looked into the distance, and it seemed that he could lead to the Xuantie Gate of the next main hall.

When Ye Kui and some people came to the third hall, they saw that the internal walls, floors, and ceilings of this hall had been scorched and cracked by the fire.

"Mr. Ye, there is still some smell of corpses left here after being burned, but I can't tell whether they are the corpses of the human race or the demon race."

After Lu Sunan said this, he couldn't help but touch the black wall with his fingers, and then began to wipe the wall in front of him with his entire palm.

"It seems that most of the corpses have been moved here for disposal, but why don't you take the corpses from the Shimen passage and clean them up?"

At this time, Ye Kui put the rope in his hand on the antlers of the Frost Snow Deer and fixed it a few times, and then wiped the carbon-black coke layer in front of him from the wall with both palms.

"Mr. Ye, things don't seem to be so simple, the stone wall has traces of being destroyed by monks or demon cultivators during the fight."

Lu Sunan's face was a little heavy, and in addition to these, there were some blood stains on the walls and murals that could no longer be seen.

"Is it a struggle or a close conflict? One-sided crushing, perhaps? Although there were traces of the blood of demon cultivators and monks and traces of battle, it was still uncertain why they fought.

And most importantly, who wins in the end? If it was the danger of exterminating the sect at that time, then it should not be wasted to dispose of the corpses and burn these three halls like this, and there was no need to burn them like this on the ceiling and high walls. ”

Originally, Ye Kui thought that his guess should be correct, the monks here seemed to be besieged by demon cultivators, but after coming to the third hall, Ye Kui felt the complexity of things.

Coupled with the matter of the immortal gate that Lu Sunan said before, there used to be an immortal gate in the thousand-year-old snow-capped mountain, but the fact that this immortal gate existed was only spread among the demon cultivators of the thousand-year-old snow-capped mountain, and the human monks did not know this.

"Senior Ye, come and take a look, there are still words after the wall is wiped clean here, alas, don't squeeze me, Senior Ye and I haven't seen it, what are you anxious about."

"I'll just see, if it's some kind of secret or secret word, treasure clue, so that the five of us don't have to stay in the thousand-year-old snow mountain all year round."

"Don't be idle with the others, continue to wipe the walls to find clues, the more you find, the better, this trip can't be in vain, it seems that it is right to follow Senior Ye this time."

After Mao Lilian lectured his subordinates, he was also a little happy in his heart, not at all as cautious and confused as Ye Kui and Lu Sunan.

"The words on the top are connected to 'stay away from here, not to be taken away,' and the monk who deliberately left them behind seems to have not had time to finish writing, or that the monk was about to continue writing but died of his injuries."

Ye Kui saw that the distorted fonts on the wall became more and more weak the more they went to the back, as if they were indirectly superficial to the state of the monk.

"Senior Ye, there are no words written or carved on the generally high walls around us, should we also wipe the high walls?"

"No need, continue to the fourth hall."

After speaking, Ye Kui also waved his hand at Lu Sunan and Mao Lilian, and then reached out to take the other end of the rope from the antlers in front of him from the Frost Snow Deer, and finally walked towards the next gate.

Originally, Ye Kui and the others thought that the fourth hall was not much different from the three halls in front.

However, when Ye Kui's seven people entered the next hall, three of Mao Lilian's five-person group who volunteered to walk in the front died directly on the spot, and the only two survivors of the five-person group were Mao Lilian and one of Mao Lilian's subordinates.

If it weren't for Ye Kui who felt the danger in an instant, he kicked away the Frost Snow Deer in time, pushed Lu Sunan away, and grabbed Mao Lilian and one of Mao Lilian's subordinates.

Then, now only Ye Kui can survive.

"Thank you Mr. Ye for the rescue, but what was that thing just now? Obviously he is a Terran monk, but his body is indeed no different from our demon cultivators, the only difference is that there is no demon energy on that guy's body at all. ”

Lu Sunan, who was rescued by Ye Kui, thanked Ye Kui and immediately looked at the place where the guy who seemed to be a human and a non-human, a demon and a demon appeared, and after that guy attacked Ye Kui and his party, he immediately shrank back into the fourth hall full of debris.

The three of Ye Kui who survived, plus a deer, retreated into the third hall.

Mao Lilian and Mao Lilian's other surviving subordinates still did not come to their senses, and the two of them watched the other three die a few steps away from them, and at that time the two of them already thought that they must be the next to die.

"The sevenfold monster of the Void Slashing Mirror, it looks at some Cai Luoyang, or does Cai Luoyang look like him?"

"Mr. Ye, you said that the realm of that monster just now is the Void Slashing Mirror Sevenfold? Aren't we..."

Lu Sunan was shocked by what Ye Kui said, and Lu Sunan didn't have time to react to what happened just now, let alone check the realm on the other side.

Lu Sunan thinks that the seven people on his side are basically around or below the God Transformation Mirror, and only Ye Kui's realm makes Lu Sunan unable to see through.

"It's not difficult to survive, the point is the monster just now, how long has it been here? Are there any other monsters in the fourth hall?"

In addition to these, Ye Kui was also worried that there would be a fifth, sixth, and seventh hall behind him...

"Mr. Ye, the eight words I saw on the wall before, 'stay away from here, can't be taken away', do they mean that we should leave this place, and I can't take the monsters here outside."

Lu Sunan was a little nervous in his heart, if it was really as he and Mr. Ye said, then the seven of them would really be in trouble.

"Judging from the motive of that monster just now, I think it is preventing us from entering the fourth hall, otherwise it could have followed the three of us to the third hall and continued to attack us, instead of retreating back to the fourth hall."

Ye Kui said as he rubbed the head of the frost and snow deer that was kicked away by himself just now but took the initiative to come over, it seems that this deer is not stupid.

"Ye senior... What just happened? Hahaha, what about my other three men? Where are they running to be lazy?"

"Senior Ye, you see that our boss seems to be a little..."

Mao Lilian's heart still refused what happened just now, and his three subordinates must not have died, so Mao Lilian tried to ask Ye Kui.

And Mao Lilian's subordinate has already come out, he saw his boss become like this, and his heart was also very uncomfortable, the five of them just captured a frost snow deer alive at the beginning and then could completely offer a reward, who would have thought that it would become like this in the end.

"Mao Lilian, those three of your subordinates have been killed by monsters, the three of them walked too far in front just now, I didn't have time to save them, I'm sorry."

Ye Kui thought that he had relaxed his vigilance, and after walking through the front halls, Ye Kui thought that the halls behind him were basically safe, otherwise Ye Kui would be the first to enter the door of the hall like he had come to the first three halls before.
