"Yes, we stand in the house and share the horizon with the snail toad. What it sees, we can see. Dong Rui patted the window, "These windows can observe the three directions behind, so there are no dead ends on all sides." ”

He Lingchuan said interestingly, he chased the snail toad for more than two months, but it was the first time he entered the "snail dwelling". It turns out that the magic weapons of the ancient immortals were used like this?

"That's not right. Didn't the snail toad swallow a barn full of prunella grass in Shibata Township? He Lingchuan looked left and right, "This room is too small, not like it can hold so many things." ”

"You also underestimate the methods of the immortals in the past." Dong Rui snorted, "Who told you that there is only one room in the 'Snail House'?" There are several large and small ones in the back. It's just that Xi Yunhe's subordinates used to deal with the prey inside, and there was always a fishy smell when it was dirty, so I didn't bother to go in. ”

As he spoke, the snail toad had already plunged headlong into the ground to start tonight's journey.

Today, Lingxu City is rained, which brings a lot of convenience to its actions. There was only a torrential rain near the Pianxiang Mountain Villa, but in the central and northern parts of Lingxu City, it was a heavy rain that lasted for more than half an hour, and the ground was drenched.

The soil is moist, so that the snail toad can travel long distances underground.

Otherwise, he will temporarily take Dong Rui to run, and he won't be able to run too far, at most a few miles.

There was nothing to see in the darkness of the ground, except that the snail toad was moving fast, and the horses were far inferior to it, and there was no need to turn around, which was in stark contrast to the slow movement on the ground.

The wonders of the treasures of the ancient immortals are difficult for people today to imagine and understand.

He Lingchuan thought, what would happen if the aura in the world was re-energized? Will the good old times come back?

In the past 3,000 years, practitioners have been looking forward to it, but they can't wait for such a grand scene.

Yes, how can you just wait for "waiting"?

He didn't think he was in a daze for long, and there was a change outside the window - the snail toad surfaced to the ground.

The two left the hut and crawled out of the volute. Tonight the clouds were thick, the sky was very weak, and the dense forest was even darker, only the grass and trees rustled in the wind.

Occasionally, there was a cry, far and near.

This is the mountain forest on the periphery of Xushan Mountain, which is closer to Tianji Peak; The Heavenly Palace Guard Battalion was stationed at the foot of Tianshu Peak, far away from the two of them.

The mountains were hidden in the darkness, revealing only a few outlines. And the depths of the mountains are where the most powerful power in the world lies. Even in the mountains, forests, and wilderness, there was only bleak wind and light rain around, Dong Rui still subconsciously lowered his volume: "According to your requirements, this location is only eight hundred zhang away from Tianji Peak." ”

In front of it is the territory of the ruins and mountains, and the snail toad can't approach lightly.

It shrunk when it floated to the ground. Dong Rui put it into the burden and carried it behind him.

"Why are you so quiet, a thief?" He Lingchuan patted the mirror on his chest, "Torch, I entered from the mountains and forests in the south of Tianji Peak, where did we meet?" ”

"South? Hmmm—" The torch's voice rang out immediately, "come and find me in the white hole on the edge of the Lingzhi Forest." ”

When the Great Returning Sect was still an immortal sect, there were countless spiritual grasses planted in the mountains, and the Lingzhi forest was only the name of one of the immortal fields. But after the Middle Ages, the spiritual grass gradually thinned, and it could only be found at high altitudes. At this height of the market mountain, there is no spiritual grass, and the lingzhi forest has also become a fixed check-in point for tourists.

He Lingchuan has been to Tianji Peak twice, and he probably knows where the Lingzhi Forest is, and no matter how bad it is, there is a soul mirror patting his chest and saying that he knows the way, it can be navigated.

The two put on masks and took advantage of the night to walk into the mountains in the dark.

The mask is specially made by the lord of Songyang Mansion himself, which can isolate the prying eyes of the gods.

A quarter of an hour later.

The torch asked, "Have you arrived?" ”

"Not yet."

After another quarter of an hour, the torch asked again, "Have you arrived?" ”

"Ahem, not yet."

The torch was puzzled: "Why is it so slow?" Even a snail crawled over! ”

"Looks like we've made a mistake." The first two times I walked on the mountains, this time I had to climb through the valley. Looking up on the mountain and going down the mountain are two different things.

What's more, there is no moon tonight, and the ravines and ravines look all the same, and natural ghosts hit the walls.

Dong Rui was complaining: "I told you to go from the left road, but you don't believe it!" ”

Torch: "......"

At this moment, He Lingchuan sensed from the corner of his eye that there was a firelight floating halfway up the mountain.

It seems to be a big fire monster, more than three feet high.

Miraculously, despite the flames around it, the trees around it were not on fire, and not even the leaves were blackened.

This is the power to protect the mountains and forests, as long as it does not want to, it will not burn the mountains and destroy the forests.

He Lingchuan hurriedly said: "You have a clone that has just passed halfway up the mountain, just above us. ”

The big fire monster immediately paused, looked left and right like a human, and then saw He Lingchuan. Then, it slid down the mountain wall and stopped in front of the two of them.

"Come with me." The annoyed voice of the torch came from the burning man, "You have been around for a long time, this is not the realm of the ruin mountain at all!" ”

Otherwise, as soon as the two of them enter the mountain, it will know immediately.

He Lingchuan shrugged his shoulders and followed it with Dong Rui.

With fire monsters leading the way, the speed of travel is several times faster. This is the doppelganger of the torch that is released to patrol at night, so as not to be occasionally blinded by his own perception. The mountain is closed to the outside world at night, and one of the duties of the local mountain is to drive away or capture the invaders.

If he didn't get its support, He Lingchuan wanted to quietly go up the mountain at night, which would be even more difficult.

Passing by a few low peaks, the fire monster asked the two of them to move forward carefully, because there were Heavenly Palace guards stationed on the peaks, and they would routinely look down.

Obviously, the Heavenly Palace did not dare to completely entrust the defense work to the torch.

After walking for another quarter of an hour, after the two of them were covered with dew, stepped on their feet full of moss, and turned a narrow road, the front suddenly opened up—

What a wide valley.

Ganoderma lucidum forest has arrived.

Two thousand years ago, it was full of Ganoderma lucidum and all kinds of fairy grass, and ginseng dolls and Xianzhi horses ran around all over the valley.

Now, this is a wasteland, with nothing but wild grasses and mushrooms and a few crickets.

There is a hole in the side of the mountain, and the rock at the entrance is white.

The fire monster withdrew here and went on patrol elsewhere. And He Lingchuan and Dong Rui continued to move forward, leaning against the wall and sneaking into the hole.

To humans, this is a dead hole, at most 200 steps to the end, but there are countless cracks in the mountain wall.

As soon as He Lingchuan walked in, he saw more than a dozen flames "squeezed" out of the rock cracks, and after landing on the ground, they were put back together to form a huge rock fire monster.

Today, it is a half-human form, that is, the upper body is human-like, and the waist is full of flames.

He Lingchuan turned his head to Dong Rui and said, "This is the Xushan Mountain, the torch." ”

In fact, many tourists roam the mountain because of the legend of the rock fire monster, but few people are lucky enough to see it. Lady Torch is not interested in living people who can't eat.

He Lingchuan thinks the most interesting point is that no matter whether there are one or two visitors, as soon as the torch appears, it will be a big show, and it will be the first to win people from the momentum.

From such a distance, Dong Rui also felt that the air around him was very hot, and the hair on his forehead was curly.

He Lingchuan introduced to the torch: "This is my friend and my helper. ”

Since the two sides are facing each other, the torch sarcastically mocked him: "You have to cooperate, and you are reluctant to show me your true face?" "Previously, this guy threw his doppelganger into the soul land, and he didn't show his face, so he kept talking at a distance; I made an appointment to meet today, and I actually wore a mask, I was really cowardly.

The masks of these two guys also have the ability to isolate divine thoughts, and it can't see through them.

He Lingchuan smiled: "This is mutual protection!" ”

The torch snorted: "The position of the array eye, have you calculated it?" ”

"Of course, isn't this a field trial?"

"Follow me." The torch turned and walked into the cave.

Under the light of the fire around it, the two of them realized that there was a big crack in the depths of the cave, which was not even a road, and they had to use both hands and feet.

Neither of them is fat, so they can barely squeeze in.

Fortunately, after squeezing in, the gap between the rocks is larger, and both of them have cultivated in their bodies, climbing the rock and pulling the roots, all the way up more than 50 zhang, and jumping into a platform.

From now on, there are ready-made plank roads for tourists to walk.

Of course, the guards of the Heavenly Palace would occasionally come over to inspect, but there were snakes on the ground, and He Lingchuan couldn't meet them once.

Soon, they abandoned the main road again and climbed to the top of the wild mountain opposite Tianji Peak.

In order to avoid being too conspicuous, the size of the torch was actually compressed to half a human height, and the flames all over the body converged, looking like a lit charcoal block, only a few fulcrums on the joints and neck still had red light through, and the other parts were like burnt scorched rock, black and black.

So it hid in the thick woods and bushes, and the guards on the opposite hill could not see it.

Of course, to be so sneaky on your own turf, all for the sake of two stowaways. The torch urged: "Hurry up and start!" ”

This has been in the mountains for thousands of years, and now it's in a hurry? He Lingchuan ignored it and said to Dong Rui: "I'll show you the direction." If there is a star tonight, it should fly to the Star Xuan. With that, he stretched out his hand and pointed, "Let the manta golem go up." ”

Dong Rui recognized the Big Dipper, but tonight the clouds were so thick that there was nothing on the canopy, so he could only rely on He Lingchuan's identification. His shoulders sank, and the bat golem fluttered its wings and flew up.

He Lingchuan originally hoped that it would maintain such an inconspicuous size and appearance. It had just rained, and there were already a lot of bats circling and flying low in the Xushan Mountain, and the demon puppets were mixed in it, which did not attract people's attention.

But even if there was still some glimmer in the sky, after the demon puppet flew up ten zhang, even if He Lingchuan had enough eyesight, he couldn't see it.

It's so small, it's still black!

"Get bigger!"

When the demon puppet became the size of a dog, He Lingchuan could finally see it in the night sky.

"To the left...... Back to ...... To the right, no, to the left! ”

"Fly down twenty feet and take a look."

Dong Rui: "Nothing." "It's just a vacant sky.

"What's the hurry?" He Lingchuan calculated silently in his heart according to the same formula given by Dean Xu Shichu, "A little further to the left, well, yes, continue to the left!" Oh no, it's about to hit a mountain. ”

Xu Shichu really believed in people, and handed over the same formula to Sun Lingling two days ago and handed it over to He Lingchuan.
