Chapter 12: Black Wind Ridge
After listening to Song Qingshi's words, Senior Brother Jiu's face was a little serious, and he pinched his chin for a long time without making a sound.
Song Qingshi anxiously arched his hand and said: "If it weren't for the urgency, the poor Dao wouldn't dare to work the three Taoists of Taiyuan Gate easily, but the matter couldn't be delayed, if it was too late, I was afraid that the other three Daoists would suffer." ”
Zhao Xuan frowned beside him and said, "Song Gu's major cultivation is not weak, and we are not familiar with Heifeng Ridge, if even you can't fight it, there is no way for us to go." ”
Xu Chen is also related, the senior brother and the senior sister don't want to get involved in this trouble, he, the scum of the fifth battle, is even more incapable of helping to save people, it is best to be a stuffy gourd now, otherwise he is asking for trouble.
Seeing that the three of them really had no intention of helping, in the end, Song Qingshi could only sigh and arch his hand slightly: "It's really poor and abrupt, I'll go elsewhere for help in this matter." ”
Senior Brother Jiu suddenly said: "This Nanyang County is tens of thousands of miles away, except for the Five Thunder Gate and Taiyuan Gate, who else can the Song Valley Lord ask for help?" ”
Song Qingshi was stunned for a moment, and all his strength seemed to be drained, and he was at a loss.
Senior Brother Nine said seriously at this time: "In this way, Lord Ouyang Gu quickly went to Taiyuan Gate to see if he could invite the Third Elder, and the three of us went to Heifeng Ridge with Lord Song Gu to see the situation, if we can help, we will take action, if we are really powerless, then we can only rely on yourself, or if the Third Senior Uncle is willing to go down the mountain to help, then there may be a turnaround." ”
Song Qingshi was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly arched his hand again and again: "Thank you so much, without further ado, we will set off separately!" ”
Soon, after a brief exchange of words, Ouyang Ping, the master of the second valley, first released the flying sword and headed towards Taiyuan Gate.
Senior Brother Nine released the flying sword and said, "Little Senior Brother come with me, so that I can also retain some strength!" ”
"Good!" Xu Chen didn't shirk either, jumped on the flying sword of the ninth senior brother, and clutched his Dao robe tightly.
"Let's go!" With a wave of the Ninth Senior Brother's robe, a wave of vitality firmly protected Xu Chen, and then the four of them turned into three rays of light and broke through the air in the southeast direction.
Beneath our feet are the reckless mountains and primeval forests, and the roars of wild beasts can be heard everywhere, and it seems that it is indeed very restless.
"Senior Brother Nine, why did you suddenly agree to help?" Xu Chen's Divine Sense Transmission asked.
"Being idle is also idle, just go and see, when the time comes, don't make a move, everything will be done according to the opportunity."
"Hmm!"
"The main thing is that Heifengling is not far from Taiyuan Gate, and although the Wild Wolf Valley is all folk cultivation, it is also the peripheral forces of our Taiyuan Gate, and there are often exchanges and contacts, if it is completely ignored, it is a little unreasonable, and the mountain gate is not peaceful recently, and the third-order demon wolf has fled to the vicinity of the mountain gate, maybe it has something to do with Heifengling, and you can also find out about the situation if you go to see it."
Speaking of this, Senior Brother Jiu smiled and glanced back at Xu Chen and said: "Little Senior Brother, the first time you go down the mountain to practice, there are some things that are also beneficial to experience more, after all, this kind of thing will often be encountered in the future, I and other immortal cultivators, if they are only good at themselves, it is not a good thing, helping the people to kill demons and eliminate demons is not only a good deed, but also a cultivation, besides, this may also be an opportunity to make a fortune." ”
"What fortune?" Xu Chen was confused.
Senior Brother Jiu smiled dryly: "Now that we don't have any poor medicine fields in Taiyuanmen, I'm afraid we will have to find a way to get the pills ourselves in the future, if we can really rescue the two guys from the Five Thunder Gates, it will definitely be no problem to use some magic weapons and pills at that time." ”
Xu Chen's face twitched slightly, and he said, "If you can't save it, wouldn't it be a trip for nothing?" ”
The ninth senior brother said: "Wealth and danger are sought, how can there be gains if you don't take a little risk, in the future, the little junior brother will have more experience, and he will naturally understand, in addition, although Song Qingshi's cultivation looks good, but in fact, the magic weapons and spells are very rubbish, he can escape back unscathed, there should not be much danger inside." ”
Xu Chen was suddenly a little puzzled and asked, "Then why did Senior Brother let them go to the Third Senior Uncle for what?" ”
"Just in case, in case we also fall into it, so don't be reckless, even if it's a risk, you still need to leave yourself a way back, there is only one small life, don't be careless, little junior brother can remember!"
"Yes, thank you for your teachings!"
Although Xu Chen is not very interested in Senior Brother Jiu, and has always had a grudge against throwing the work of collecting dung to him, but in fact, this matter has nothing to do with Senior Brother Jiu, it is mainly arranged by the master, and there is also the proposal of Senior Sister Seven, plus his unreliable master, after all, the job of picking up dung and taking care of the medicine garden, the entire mountain gate is the most suitable for him, no wonder anyone.
The four of them raced all the way, without stopping on the road.
Senior Brother Nine and Zhao Xuan are full of vitality, and there is no problem in flying hundreds of miles in one breath, but Song Qingshi's consumption is relatively large, so his vitality is a little weak, but in order to save people, he still gritted his teeth and tried his best to support it, and even did not hesitate to eat a pill of Qi Replenishment.
Soon more than half an hour passed, and a sky-high black gas appeared in front of the southeast, and if the black wind was circling in the mountains, it was the Black Wind Ridge.
Sure enough, after the four of them flew forward for more than ten miles again, the black gas became clearer and more obvious, and they saw a black gas like a demon wind permeating a radius of dozens of miles, shrouding several mountains in it, and a bare steep mountain range loomed in the center, as if it was like another world, incompatible with the surrounding green mountains, and there was a feeling of horror when you looked at it.
In the surrounding mountains and wilderness, there are all kinds of wild beasts roaring and roaring sounds, which make people's backs chill.
"Three fellow Daoists, we landed not far from the rift on the right!" Song Qingshi's divine sense transmission came from his ears.
"Okay, Song Daoyou leads the way!" Senior Brother Nine nodded in response.
Soon Song Qingshi fell to the right side of the Black Wind Ridge, and the three of them followed closely, and soon, the four of them collected their swords and landed on a desolate and hard rock, surrounded by a flowing black mist-like black wind, although there was no discomfort in breathing, but the divine consciousness would indeed be affected somewhat.
Xu Chen felt that his divine sense, which could be clearly stretched ten zhang on weekdays, was very blurry at the moment, and the scope of his perception had not narrowed, but the clarity was much worse, as if it was covered by this black fog.
In fact, without divine sense, the surrounding area can be vaguely seen in a range of dozens of zhang, and now twenty zhang away from the four people, there is a crack, which appears out of thin air on the bare steep cliff, more than a hundred zhang long, like a big mouth of a terrifying demon beast that grows up, constantly spewing black gas outward.
This is the real reason for the formation of the Black Wind Ridge.
However, no one knows why this crack will spray black gas outward, it is said that it has been sprayed for tens of thousands of years, and many monks have gone down to investigate before, but there is nothing to say, only that the terrain inside is very complicated, and the entire mountain is almost in a state of mid-air, densely packed like a ball of spider webs, full of gaps and holes, the deeper and denser it becomes, and even the people who go down have never come out again.
There was danger, and there were no treasures, so it became a badland to all the monks to stay away from, and few people came to visit it.
The four of them slowly walked to the front of the rift.
At this time, I can see more clearly, the whole crack presents a tilting state with the mountain, more than ten zhang high, the entrance of the cave is blown by the black wind that erupts all the year round, resulting in the rocks are in a slippery state, clean like a dog licking, and I can't find any place to grasp.
"Song Daoyou, how long has it been since you went down before, and how deep is it?"
Looking at the black hole in front of him that was constantly spewing black gas, Senior Brother Jiu's expression became very solemn.
"About three hours, the four of me went down together, and after about a mile or so, I was separated, and I didn't continue to go deeper, and then I ran into an unknown demon beast and escaped by luck after two fights." Song Qingshi hurriedly explained.
Zhao Xuan held the flying sword and frowned: "I have been to the Black Wind Ridge once before, but the black fog is not so violent, and the coverage area is much smaller than now, almost only three percent of the appearance, why did it suddenly become like this?" ”
Song Qingshi smiled bitterly: "I also wonder about this matter, I came here once two years ago, and it is not what it looks like now." ”
Senior Brother Nine pinched his chin and nodded, "It seems that something must have happened under the rift, which caused the black wind to become bigger, which may also be the reason for the restlessness of the beasts and demon beasts." ”
Song Qingshi hurriedly nodded and said: "I judge the same way, so I set the reason for the restlessness of the beast demon beast here, I thought there would be no danger, but I didn't expect to trap the three Taoist friends." ”
Senior Brother Nine stared at the depths of the rift for a long time and said, "It doesn't seem to be too dangerous at the moment, since you are here, you still have to go in and investigate, the little junior brother is outside, and I will go in with Senior Sister Zhao and Song Daoyou." ”
"Good!" Neither of them had any doubts, and Xu Chen was even more relieved.
This black crack was standing on end when he looked at it, and he would rather face a second-order demon beast alone than venture into such a place he didn't understand.
"Remember, after entering, everyone gathers together, and once you find that your divine consciousness is seriously disturbed, you must quit."
Senior Brother Nine told Zhao Xuan and Song Qingshi a word, and then turned his head and told Xu Chen: "If we go in for an hour and don't come out, Senior Brother will hurry back to the mountain gate to invite the three elders, don't go in to look for it." ”
"Okay, Senior Brother and Senior Sister Song Daoyou be careful, by the way, this spirit rune Senior Brother is holding self-defense!"
Xu Chen nodded in agreement, and took out the only remaining attack spirit rune and handed it to Senior Brother Jiu.
Senior Brother Nine grinned and grabbed it in his hand unceremoniously and smiled: "Little Senior Brother has a heart, don't worry, Senior Brother will be fine." ”
"By the way, take a few more Dayuan Dan for later use!"
Xu Chen thought that the baby was sent anyway, so he simply took out the jade bottle again, poured three Dayuan Dan out, and the ninth senior brother was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile It's okay, and then threw Xu Chen a back of the head and turned around.
Xu Chen was inexplicable, Zhao Xuan glared at him vigorously and followed without speaking.
Song Qingshi came to his senses at this time, and shrugged his throat and said to Xu Chen: "Taiyuan Gate is really strong, if it weren't for me waiting for these hard lives to disperse, thank you Xu Daoyou this time, if you can rescue the three Daoyou, you will go to the mountain gate to thank you in person in the future!" ”
Xu Chen hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't dare, I just hope to save people!" ”
"Then Xu Daoyou is careful outside,"
After speaking, Song Qingshi also hurriedly followed, and in an instant, the figures of the three disappeared into the black mist of the rift.
Xu Chen didn't dare to go far, so he found a stone and sat down cross-legged at the same time, letting go of a wisp of divine consciousness to monitor the surrounding situation.
