Chapter Ninety-Five: Taihang Canyon
According to the information found by Chen Zuoheng, the mountain range that Shen Xinchen experienced last year was roughly in the Taihang Grand Canyon in the west of Anyang City.
This place can be said to be rampant in ancient times, from ancient times to the present, whenever there is a war, there will inevitably be a large number of Taihang Kou down the mountain to plunder.
However, as for now, the Taihang Dakou that was rampant in the world in the past has long since disappeared, and there is only one medium-sized spiritual vein here, which is not even a blessed land, so there are only three or four forces located here now, and they are all some weak sects, which cannot form a climate.
As the so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, although the Yanhu Purple Sword Sect does not have the support of those top people back then, but the network is still there, so it is easy for Shi Chi to concoct a fake identity and let him successfully arrive in Anyang secretly.
After landing, Shi Chiyan first took a taxi to walk around the city, and then walked to the Taihang Grand Canyon.
It has now been developed into a large scenic spot, and although nominally led by the local government, almost 40% of the shares of the site are owned by those few sects.
Of course, these are all things that happened on the way here, and I read the information that Chen Zuoheng gave him.
If nothing else, it is estimated that he will not have any contact with these sects, after all, if the Maoshan faction does not want to rashly set off a war between the ghost path and the Daomen, it will be impossible to deal with it blatantly, so the matter of setting up a situation, the less people know about it, the better.
Thinking about it, Shi Chi Di has already bought a ticket to enter the scenic spot, I have to say, the scenery of Taihang Grand Canyon is indeed extremely beautiful, and its area is vast, a wide river in the middle is white and exciting, the valley on both sides of the river is secluded and strange, and the air is fresh, which makes people refreshed.
Enjoying the scenery in the canyon, Shi Chi walked slowly along the mountain road, today is a weekday, although there are many tourists, but it is far less crowded than on holidays, so he walked for half an hour, finally found a gap, cast a spell to hide his figure, climbed the rock, and after a few seconds he has come to the top of the canyon.
Coming to the top of the mountain, Shi Chi Yan quietly spread his thoughts, deliberately avoiding several cultivators, wanting to search for traces of the Void Void Gold.
With his current cultivation, his mind was enough to cover a radius of nearly thirty miles, but as he had originally thought, there was no trace of the Void Blank Gold at all.
Fortunately, there was plenty of time, and he was not in a hurry, so he walked slowly on the top of the mountain, and after about four or five minutes, he suddenly paused, and his eyes were contemplative.
It turned out that about seventeen miles in front of him, several young men and women were carrying large bags and small bags through the dense forest deep in the canyon, which was already an undeveloped area that was forbidden to pass.
Shi Chi Yan shook his head slightly, and was about to turn his attention away, but found that they were discussing something, and suddenly Shi Chi Yan's face turned grim, and several thoughts in his heart had already unfolded and swept away with the wind.
A moment later, Shi Chi Xuan had swept into the dense forest, and he deliberately walked in front of the men, hiding behind a weedy pile, and quietly listening to their conversation.
"Husband, is there really a ghost here? It can't be the rednecks who are lying to us, right? ”
"There should be, didn't you listen to the old man, there were several nearby villages that were moved away because they were haunted."
"Huh? People are so scared, husband, you have to protect me! ”
"Haha, don't worry, isn't there still Daochang Feng, right, Daochang Feng?"
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! Poor Dao should do his best to protect your safety! ”
Hiding sideways behind the grass, Shi Chiyan listened to the conversation of several people, looking a little curious.
If he was not mistaken, these people should have heard rumors of hauntings here, so they came to explore, but I don't know if they were afraid or not, and they even called a Taoist priest to protect them.
Shi Chi Yan could detect that the young Taoist priest who looked like he was in his early twenties was a real metamorphosis peak, equal to the peak of their ghost Dao's mimic. This kind of cultivation accompanied a few neuropaths to explore here to find ghosts, I really don't know what he had in mind.
This time he found out the origin of the disc, it is likely to be a bureau set up by Maoshan for Shi Chi, if he expected it to be true, this Taoist priest must be one of the keys.
Rather than follow them secretly, it is better to appear openly and hide behind the back.
Thinking of this, Shi Chi Yan quietly retreated, circled to three or four hundred meters in front of them, and then appeared and pretended to walk towards them.
Just after walking a few dozen steps, Shi Chiyan heard the footsteps in front of him and immediately shouted, "Is there anyone?" ”
As soon as he asked, several screams had sounded in the dense forest on the opposite side, and then a young Taoist priest in a simple robe jumped out of the dense forest with light steps, looking at him vigilantly and curiously, and only nodded at him after a while, turned around and shouted: "It's okay, it's a living person, and it should also go up the mountain to explore." ”
"Damn!" A young man with a toad mirror hanging on his collar scolded and his legs came out like crabs, shouting, "Is there something wrong with your brain?" It's okay to shout there, what's shouting? ”
Shi Chi Yan smiled, and the young Taoist priest's face changed greatly, and he rushed to the young man with a flick of his big sleeves, and the layers of force barriers were propped up out of thin air, but they instantly ignited under a sudden burst of pale flames.
However, Shi Chi Yan was not completely sure that this Taoist priest was a member of the Maoshan faction, so after breaking the power barrier, he had already put away the spirit extinguishing Cangyan, and said coldly: "Take care of your mouth." ”
The young Taoist priest's face was almost as solemn as ice, and he knew very well that if he hadn't left his hand for a long time, he was afraid that he would have died under the pale flames with this employer.
So when the young man was angry and wanted to scold, the young Taoist priest had already turned his head and glared at him, forcing the young man to shut his mouth.
The young man was just an ordinary person, so from his vantage point, he only saw that he had hired this Dao Master to force those flames back with a slight flick of his sleeves, and he thought that his side had the upper hand.
Taking a deep breath, the young Taoist priest arched his hand and said, "Feng Qing, the outer gate of Qingyun Temple, I don't know the name of Brother Tai?" ”
That Qingyun Temple is one of the top ten famous mountains in the Daomen, but it is practiced behind closed doors all the year round, and it rarely interacts with the outside world, and it is not one of the forces against the ghost Dao.
Seeing that his expression did not seem to be fake, Shi Chi Yan thought in his heart, and said lightly: "Loose cultivation, Shigu Mountain." ”
"Brother Shi," that Feng Qing is not very old, but his tone is like that of the ancients, "My employer is upright, please forgive me if I have offended just now." ”
Shi Chi Yan smiled, looked left and right, frowned, and said, "This is not a scenic spot, why did you come up?" ”
Feng Qing hesitated for a moment, but still replied, "Brother Shi, don't smile, I'm here to explore ghosts." ”
Seeing that Chi Yan looked over, the young man had already guessed that Feng Qing was most likely invincible to the other party, so his face was quite embarrassed, he touched the toad mirror on his chest, and hesitated: "I heard from my friend that this area is haunted, so I hired Daoist Feng to escort us over to have a look." ”
Shi Chi Yan swept his eyes, this group of people except Feng Qing were all ordinary people, and their vigilance was also lowered a little.
Seeing that he was silent, Feng Qing smiled and said, "Is it important for Brother Shi to come up?" Then we can go down the mountain first to avoid it. ”
"No need," Shi Chi Yan waved his hand and said lightly, "I'm just thinking about it quietly, and I'm just going up the mountain to relax, since you want to find a ghost, how about adding me to one?" ”
Although Feng Qing cultivated to the highest level, he was only an employee, so he looked directly at the young man behind him, and the young man did not hesitate, and said with a smile: "Of course you can." ”
Then several people walked to the depths of the canyon together, on the way, Shi Chiyan also knew the names of those people, the young man's name was Zhou Xing, he was the boss of this group of people, he was a rich second generation in Hebi City next door, and a young woman with a hot figure was named Jia Feifei, who said that she was Zhou Xing's girlfriend, but it seemed that there were more ingredients in the package.
The remaining man and woman are called Rong Mao and Xu Li, they are also a couple, that Rong Mao is like Zhou Xing's younger brother, looking at the clothes, he should also be a rich second generation, otherwise he would not be able to mix with Zhou Xing.
This time I came to the Taihang Grand Canyon, mainly because when the four of them played cards yesterday, they chatted about the rumors that there had been hauntings in this area, Jia Feifei became interested when he heard it, and shouted that he wanted to come over to explore, and the three of Zhou Xing were also bored, so they set off together after discussion.
However, it is true that Zhou Xing is a bit of a domineering rich second generation, but he is not reckless, he is just idle and panicked when he comes to find ghosts, in case he really encounters any ghosts, where can they escape from the rich second generation who have been hollowed out by wine.
Therefore, he specially asked his relatives to hire Feng Qing as their escort for this expedition.
As for Feng Qing, he himself said that it was because he had been stuck at the peak of the transformation for nearly two years, so he went down the mountain to experience and wanted to find an opportunity to break through, and his family had some business dealings with Zhou Xing's company, so Zhou Xing specially hired Feng Qing to escort them this time.
Zhou Xing looked at Bahu, but he was also a clever person, and he saw that Shi Chi Yan's strength was extraordinary, so he didn't leave for a while, and he was already Brother Shi Chang Shi and Brother Shi was short, even if Shi Chi Yan had a cold attitude, he didn't change his praise at all.
Before they met Shi Chi, Zhou Xing and the others had been walking for more than half an hour, the man was fine, Jia Feifei and Xu Li were delicate and soft, they were already exhausted, and they were shouting to rest.
Seeing Chi Di's casual attitude, Feng Qing, Zhou Xing and others also sat down to rest one by one.
Feng Qing saw Shi Chi Yan standing not far away, glanced around, thought about it, paced over, and arched his hand: "Brother Shi." ”
"You're welcome, just call me Lonely Mountain." Shi Chi Yan couldn't get used to hearing this ancient name, and said with a faint smile.
Feng Qing smiled, and also changed his title: "Brother Gushan, you should have entered the mountain earlier than us, have you ever sensed the existence of ghosts?" ”
As a ghost dao, Shi Chi Yan was more sensitive to ghost qi than Feng Qing, he had secretly searched before, but he didn't sense half of the ghost qi.
Seeing him shake his head, Feng Qing breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of the jokes of the Gushan brothers, the trail has come all the way, but I am trembling, for fear that I will leak the ghost qi and cause the death of the employer." ”
Shi Chi shook his head and said: "The Taoist chief is honest, serious and down-to-earth, and it's not a bad thing, how can I laugh at you." ”
The two were talking, and their expressions suddenly moved, looking ahead, Feng Qing didn't feel his heart tighten when he saw this, and frowned: "What's wrong?" ”
"There's someone up ahead, huh?" Shi Chi's mind had already sensed that there was a person hundreds of meters in front of him, but when he carefully perceived this person's face, his mind was in a state of confusion, and he rarely showed a stunned expression.
Seeing that his expression did not seem to be panicked, Feng Qing also relaxed, but when he saw Shi Chiyan's face seemed to be happy and sad, he didn't feel puzzled.
After a while, a figure walked out in front of several people, and the person was also startled when he saw them, but when his eyes met Shi Chiyan's, his face first showed a little confusion, and then a look of surprise appeared.
"Hours?"
"Bai Shao!"
