"That's right. This is not an ordinary youkai, according to legend, it was transformed by the meridian kamikaze on the mountain. The Ethereal Sect relied on this monster to occupy half of the Tempest Tundra." The old man sighed, "According to ancestral legend, the foot of the Wind Demon Mountain was once rich in topaz ginseng, and there was no need for people to risk their lives to harvest it on the mountain. However, this wind monster caused trouble, and the topaz ginseng gradually disappeared, and in the end, only a few plants were occasionally found on the high mountains. 「

"And then?"

"It was more than 400 years ago. Later, the Bejia Kingdom incorporated this place into the territory, but of course the Ethereal Sect refused, and released the Wind Demon to wreak havoc, and it is said that there were almost no living people in the entire Wind Plain! Later, the King of the Treasure Tree couldn't stand it, so he personally took action to disperse this wind demon! Since then, the Tempest Tundra has slowly become what it is now. 「

He Lingchuan asked him, "The Wind Tundra is not suitable for life, why didn't the Ethereal Sect move to another place, instead of stationing here at the mountain gate?"

"My ancestors have been here for generations, and I don't want to change places, do they?" The old man sighed, "Actually, why aren't we?"

After the meal, the news came, and the escort team was really going to Wind Demon Mountain.

The Soul Mirror was delighted, "Maybe, our chance has come."

He Lingchuan nodded slightly.

The good news is that there are other people besides them who are also counting on this team.

The bad news is that, in this way, he has at least one more opponent.

After the meal, Shi Er looked up at the sky: "There are many stars tonight, and there will probably be no clouds tomorrow morning, which is a good opportunity to watch the scenery."

He Lingchuan said to Shi Er, "From tomorrow onwards, keep your distance from the escorts. Especially when you enter the Wind Demon Mountain Realm, you must be at least ten miles behind the guards."

Shi Er was stunned: "Brother He thinks something happened in the Wind Demon Mountain?" He then laughed, "Pingshan occasionally collapses and rockfalls, and the caravan will be diverted from Heiyan Village to Wind Demon Mountain. It's the usual operation, it's fine. 「

He Lingchuan shrugged his shoulders: "That's all you say, it's up to you to decide whether you listen or not." The caravan is not his, he is just doing his best.

Shi Er's smile narrowed slightly.

This trade route has been peaceful for many years, and the caravans coming and going are fine, is there something wrong with this trip? Moreover, there is the escort of the King of the Treasure Tree to open the way ahead, and they are not idle eaters; However, the person in front of him, Zhu Erniang, who even cannibalized people in the Demon Nest Swamp, is afraid of three points, and his words will not be untargeted?

It was night, and everyone went to bed early.

He Lingchuan simply didn't sleep and took the Baishan Pill to practice pranayama.

He could feel that the aura between heaven and earth had been increasing recently, and his cultivation was very efficient.

......

Before the fourth watch, the caravan set off for the Wind Demon Mountain.

This time, the Shimen caravan no longer competed for the lead, and was at least fifteen miles behind the escort. It can be seen that Shi Er's master still listened to He Lingchuan's words.

The gap in the middle is naturally filled by other business travelers who are offside.

After all, the closer you are to the convoy, the more secure people feel.

This mountain road is getting higher and higher, the mountains are steep and dangerous, and the official road has also become a sheep's intestine.

He Lingchuan was all breathed into ice. As soon as he turned his head, he saw a layer of hoarfrost sticking to Shi Er's beard.

"Before the road in the Black Stone Village was opened, everyone could only pass through here. Shi Erdang wrapped his head tightly with thick felt, "Otherwise, you will have to go around a distance of 200 miles, which is much more difficult than this road."

"Originally, this place was occupied by the Ethereal Sect, and I thought about paying the road money?"

Shi Er laughed dryly: "Then I don't know, it happened hundreds of years ago."

On this way up the mountain, he also pointed out several locations to He Lingchuan, saying that they were the former ruins of the Ethereal Sect.

This Immortal Sect has also been glorious, and the buildings are all over the mountains. It's a pity that under the devastation of 400 years of wind and snow, there is no tile left.

He Lingchuan didn't look at anything.

Shi Er is a veteran who knows the way to see the sky, and last night said that there were no clouds this morning, and it was really a clear sky.

There was a sudden cheer ahead.

"Sunrise, look, look!"

He Lingchuan looked up and saw a ray of golden light

Hitting the dangerous peak on the opposite side, the white snow is reflected in the color of red gold.

Majestic and magnificent, cold and warm, blend perfectly on this natural toning stone.

Even the guards stopped, stood silently facing Jin Feng, and prayed silently.

Legend has it that those who are lucky enough to see the golden peak of Rizhao pray in time for good luck.

He Lingchuan clasped his hands together, but he didn't know who to pray to.

His faith was not given to the gods.

However, at this moment, in front of the magnificent snow-capped mountains, he can especially feel the great power of creation and his own insignificance.

How do I have to improve in order to have the ability to open the heavens and split the earth?

To this day, can the sky still give an answer?

Two hours after the restart, this mountain peak is still ahead, and it is still so cold -

The crowd almost walked around it for the most part.

There is no end in sight to these nine turns and twenty-eight bends around the mountain.

He also calculated in his heart that if someone specially forced the escort team to take this path, it would be almost time to take action. Dozens of miles ahead, the most precipitous part of the journey will be completed.

No one seems to be worried except him, after all, this is the territory of Baoshu Country, trade is safe, and there is an escort in front of him, what else can happen?

At this time, the distance between the official road and the dangerous peak has been greatly shortened, and there are even several natural stone beams hidden in the bushes intersecting. Shi Er's master pointed to a biased path and said, "From here, you can go up to the Wind Demon Mountain. I went there ten years ago, and I saw the ruins of the Ethereal Sect. If you walk fast, you can go down the other side of the mountain and you will be able to return to the official road."

"The predecessor of the Ethereal Sect is also the Ancient Immortal Sect?"

"From what I saw on the mountain, it should be." Shi Er's master sighed, "That place looks like the Guanghan Palace, how can it be lived!" The ancient immortals were really capable. 「

He Lingchuan immediately said, "Come up with me?"

It was the ruins of the Immortal Sect, and it was supposed to take a trip to see if there was any demand for the Divine Bone Necklace.

Besides, Wind Demon Mountain is the highest point within a radius of thirty miles, and it should be very clear from there to overlook the entire escort team's itinerary.

If someone is really secretly plotting, they should not miss this commanding height.

He Lingchuan has been silently observing the terrain of the snow-capped mountains.

To be honest, as an outsider, he is not familiar with the terrain of the mountains here, which is a big disadvantage.

The time and place are favorable, and he does not occupy any of them.

To benefit from the chaos that might happen in the future, he had to be more observant and thoughtful.

"Alright, alright." Shi Er tightened his head, "But I'm not going to go right away."

It wasn't an official road, the slope reached forty-five degrees, and the rocks were rugged.

He Lingchuan patted the big horn of the rock sheep: "What do you think I am riding?"

He pointed to the snow-capped mountain and asked the rock sheep, "Can you carry us up?"

The rock sheep bleated twice and nodded repeatedly.

"Meaningless." He Lingchuan gave Shi Er's master a hand and helped him climb onto the sheep's back.

Sitting quite steadily, Shi Er explained to the man in front of him, and then took a light breath: "Okay, let's go."

"Let's go!" As soon as He Lingchuan shook the reins, the rock sheep jumped high and jumped on the path two or three times.

It's really bouncing.

Shi Er's buttocks were numb, and when he looked down, he was already on the cliff of ten thousand people, and he was so frightened that he grabbed He Lingchuan's shoulder: "Slow down!" We're not in a hurry!"

This rock sheep was born to forage on the mountain, and it can climb the mountain much more neatly than other animals, and its strength increases after becoming a demon, even if it carries two people.

On top of that, it has its own talent for lightness and cushioning, and it is not much slower than running on the ground, and Newton is angry when he sees it.

It's the size of a palm, and it can fit all four hooves into it.

The mountain wind blew Shi Er's house to crumble, and he regretted it so much that he was about to spit out the bitter water:

This sheep doesn't drive according to the road, and likes to copy

Shortcut! It flew several times in the air one after another, and it was jumping happily, and Shi Er happened to look down, it was all an abyss.

The mountain wind is strong, and if one of the rock sheep stumbles, they are all gone!

Soon, the large army was left below and out of sight.

"This, this, here, you can come down!" Shi Er's master pointed to a stone mortar, his face was numb by the cold wind, and he couldn't open his mouth a little.

The rock sheep jumped into the stone mortar and returned to the intended route.

From here, you can climb up to the top of the mountain.

This section of the mountain road is quite wide, and the steps are not narrow, so it is quite comfortable to walk. For two thousand years, the disciples of the Ethereal Sect have stepped on such mountain roads up and down the peaks.

Shi Er's master couldn't help but sigh: "It's weird to go up and down the mountain like this every day."

The mirror spoke again, and as soon as he spoke, he was yin and yang: "Do you think that the children of the ancient immortal family walked in and out of the mountain gate?"

Of course, Shi Er's master couldn't hear it.

He Lingchuan patted the mirror: "Then how to go, Edgeworth Flying?"

"Of course!" The mirror said of course, "Do you see that the paths in the mountains are so well built that they look like people often walk?"

If it is a necessary path, then of course it should be as wide and straight as possible. But the few paths He Lingchuan saw were uneven and chiseled very casually, no matter how you look at it, it means "just repair it casually, it's good to have a road".

Now the two of them are following the natural rift and burrowing into the belly of the mountain.

Legend has it that this Wind Demon Mountain is the main peak of the Immortal Sect.

Of course, at its peak, there were too many disciples, and not all of them lived here.

The road was getting wider and wider, and the two soon came to a huge natural platform. The mountain above is particularly majestic. The rock face is so smooth that even a rock sheep can't climb it.

The wonder of "Sunshine Golden Peak", which is worshiped by thousands of people, is that the sun hits the peak of this boulder.

The platform underneath is huge, with at least three football fields side by side.

Standing here, not only can you see the mountains in the distance, but you can also see the figure of the escort team on the opposite side!

The wind here is unprecedented, and the two of them and their sheep are almost blown down by the mountain wind.

"Quick, get in there!" Shi Er's master pointed to the wind in front and shouted, and He Lingchuan realized that there was still an inward path.
