Luoju, Beibi Mountain.

At this time, it was already night, and the cold moonlight sprinkled on the earth, bringing a sense of desolation and solitude to the mountains in front of them.

Shen Yuan slowly stepped into the mountain forest, and Gong Buyu and Xue Mingzhi followed behind him.

After getting the news of the Ancient Forbidden Land from Xue Mingzhi, Shen Yuan rushed to the Beibi Mountain Boundary with Gong Buyu and Xue Mingzhi as soon as possible.

Xue Mingzhi, the lowest realm among the three, had already stepped into the realm of qi training, and he was already able to complete a long-distance flight by controlling the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi.

However, there are thousands of kilometers from Yunzhou to Luozhou, and Xue Mingzhi may not be able to support it.

In the end, it was Shen Yuan who used the Nine Breaths Convincing Great Divine Power Imperial Envoy Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi as an assistant to increase Xue Mingzhi's speed to the extreme, and he came to this northern mountain realm in just five thousands of kilometers.

The reason why Shen Yuan rushed to Beibi Mountain in such a hurry was actually because of the answer he had deduced from the stars in the courtyard before.

As one of the seven forbidden places in the Xuanhuang Realm, the Ancient Forbidden Land itself is extremely high, and it is absolutely impossible to deduce it by ordinary means, coupled with the fact that the Lord of Beibi Mountain, the first ghost immortal in the world, is suspected of being involved in the Ancient Forbidden Land, which makes it even more difficult to deduce.

Even though Shen Yuan had the supernatural power of stars, in the end, he only deduced a vague result.

Things in the North Mountains will change later.

Shen Yuan naturally believed in the deduction results of the supernatural power of the stars, so he rushed to the north of the mountain as soon as possible, and even did not choose to use transportation in order to speed up the speed, but used the escape method to reach it as soon as possible.

On the way here, Shen Yuan pondered why the deduction results given by the Star Count Divine Power.

It's been more than a year since the aura tide returned, but Beibi Mountain is still calm, why would the star magic power give such an answer?

In the end, Shen Yuan suddenly thought of a major event that had happened today.

The rules of heaven and earth have been restored, and the present world has been able to support the advent of the powerful gods.

Shen Yuan immediately realized that the variables in Beibi Mountain were very likely to be related to the restoration of the rules of heaven and earth today.

And according to Xue Mingzhi, the Ancient Forbidden Land suddenly appeared abnormal some time ago, which attracted the children of the imperial capital family to break into it.

Combined with the restoration of the rules of heaven and earth today, the anomaly of the Ancient Forbidden Land some time ago is likely to be a precursor.

Of course, all this was just speculation in Shen Yuan's heart, and the specific situation still had to be checked in the Beibi Mountain.

Walking among the barren mountains, Shen Yuan's divine thoughts spread in all directions without any scruples.

Shen Yuan's Yin God was fed back by the seeds of the earth-shattering sword arts, as well as more than ten years of tempering in the small world of Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda, and it was already so powerful that even ordinary sunlight could hardly hurt it in the slightest.

The powerful Yin God also created a powerful Divine Thought, and the land within a radius of nearly a hundred miles was almost shrouded in Shen Yuan's Divine Consciousness Perception, which was almost comparable to a true person refining the Divine Thoughts.

Shen Yuan's divine thoughts gradually condensed and narrowed the scope of the envelope, but the condensed divine thoughts were able to penetrate the earth, and the tombs buried in the ground and a large number of corpses could be seen at a glance in the divine thoughts.

Most of the remains were hastily buried, without even a proper coffin, and most of those graves had been excavated, with only a few small burials remaining.

Shen Yuan carefully checked it and found that everything was as Xue Mingzhi said, and there were not many sneaky haunts in the land of the northern mountains.

Even the old town of Wencheng haunts and ghosts are more haunted than in Beibi Mountain.

"It's so calm."

Shen Yuan walked between the mountains with his steps and said slowly.

Xue Mingzhi, who was following behind him, was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then his eyes swept over the Beibi Mountain in front of him.

This is the outer boundary of Beibi Mountain, and due to a large number of developments over the past thousands of years, some small villages and scenic spots have been formed in the outer boundary.

The three of them entered Beibi Mountain to avoid the main road of the scenic spot, but they could also see the night lights in the distance and the noisy crowd of tourists, which was definitely not peaceful.

"What do you mean, sir?" Xue Mingzhi asked cautiously.

Shen Yuan didn't reply, but Gong Buyu, who was holding Bai Xue on the side, took the initiative to speak:

"As one of the famous mountains and rivers, Beibi Mountain also has a spiritual vein in the mountains, so the concentration of spiritual energy is not low.

Nowadays, due to the sharp increase in the concentration of spiritual energy in various parts of Great Xia, a large number of small monsters that have opened their spiritual wisdom have been born, and there are even powerful ghosts in many areas, even the barren spiritual energy is no exception. ”

The cold gaze swept over the seemingly peaceful Beibi Mountain in front of him, and Gong Bu's voice was a little dignified.

"Beibi Mountain is located in the spiritual vein, and I haven't found any demons who have opened up the spirit along the way, and even in the barren mountains and wild tombs everywhere, there are no ghosts and ghosts, which is absolutely abnormal.

Even if these tombs are too old, the remnants of the souls in them have dissipated during the period of spiritual energy depletion, but the yin energy in the tombs will not dissipate during the period of spiritual energy depletion.

There are many villages around, and in recent decades, there should have been new tombs built in Beibi Mountain, and it is inevitable that a large amount of yin energy and spiritual energy will be born from the birth of wandering ghosts. ”

Yougong silently opened his mouth to explain, and Xue Mingzhi immediately discovered the problem.

He had always thought that it was the period of depletion of spiritual energy that caused the entire Beibi Mountain to have no ghosts, but the truth was far from as simple as he imagined.

This made Xue Mingzhi's heart gradually rise vigilant.

Shen Yuan still walked towards the top of the mountain, he did not choose to rush to the core of the Beibi Mountain as fast as possible, but carefully observed all the details of the surrounding realm with his divine thoughts.

Even when they reach certain places, they will stop and probe into the earth with the Xuanhuang Qi to spy on the direction of the leylines in it.

The more he observed, the more surprised Shen Yuan became.

In addition to those graves that did not give birth to wandering spirits, the little demons who gave birth to spiritual wisdom on the northern mountain are almost extinct, and there are even very few spiritual objects born under the aura.

For Beibi Mountain, which has a spiritual vein, this is an absolutely abnormal phenomenon.

It seems that something has invisibly extracted the spiritual essence of the entire Beibi Mountain, so that all the spiritual objects and monsters are almost extinct.

This is also one of the reasons why there is no sect family to occupy Beibi Mountain.

For these sect families, the role of the spiritual vein is definitely not only cultivation, but also the spiritual objects born on them and the subsequent development of spiritual fields to cultivate spiritual objects.

If a spiritual vein can't be cultivated with spiritual things, then it's not worth the energy of these sect families to develop, after all, there are spiritual veins reviving every day in Great Xia today, isn't it good to compete for those spiritual veins?

"Is it the back hand of the Lord of the Northern Mountain?"

A hint of interest flashed in Shen Yuan's eyes.

Extracting the spiritual essence of a famous mountain and river is not a small gesture, and the cause and effect involved in this move are too wide.

Beibi Mountain is not a mountain, but a mountain range that occupies a radius of hundreds of miles, how many monsters and how many spiritual objects can be born in it?

The rash extraction of spiritual essence leads to the extinction of demons and spiritual objects, and it will inevitably bear a large amount of karma, even if it is a demonic path, he will not dare to do so.

"Even if the Lord of the Northern Mountains is the number one ghost immortal in the world, he must have to pay a huge price to do this.

And to pay a huge price to extract the spiritual essence, this shows even more that the current state of the Lord of the Northern Mountains is definitely not good. ”

Walking all the way to the core of the North Mountain, the closer he got to the core place, the more Shen Yuan could feel that the traces of the spirit essence being extracted became more and more obvious.

Less than a hundred miles away from the core place, Shen Yuan could even feel a strange sense of dead silence.

Although the aura concentration around is not low, and the trees are lush and vibrant, there is a strange aura of death spreading.

These lush plants and animals running in the mountains and forests are more like walking corpses than living creatures.

Inexplicably, Xue Mingzhi, who was walking behind, suddenly felt a shudder.

Bai Xue in Gong Buyu's arms originally looked curiously at the mountains and forests in front of him along the way, but as she got closer and closer to the core, Bai Xue seemed to feel something, shrunk into a small ball and buried herself in Gong Buyu's chest, not daring to take another look at the surrounding environment.

As the night deepened, the more I walked, the more dense the graves became, and the feeling of missing spiritual essence became more and more intense.

In the end, less than twenty miles away from the core place, Shen Yuan's face changed and stopped.

I saw that in this desolate deep mountain, in the area shrouded by Shen Yuan's divine thoughts, wisps of ghost qi could be perceived.

In just a few breaths of stopping, the concentration of ghost qi in the range of divine thoughts began to increase dramatically, and it spread to the outside world.

And the place shrouded in ghost qi actually began to transform into a ghost snake, and even Shen Yuan's divine thoughts were isolated by the ghost dragon.

At this speed, it only takes a few days to cover the entire Beibi Mountain.

At that time, Beibi Mountain will re-transform into a ghost snake from 10,000 years ago, and become a paradise for countless ghosts and ghosts, and the lives will also be destroyed within a radius of hundreds of miles.

"This is the late change in the star supernatural power?"

Shen Yuan's heart was shocked.

If you wait for a few days in the evening for Beibi Mountain to turn into a ghost snake again, with the background of the lord of Beibi Mountain, you can completely strip the ghost snake from the present world.

At that time, the weirdness of Beibi Mountain can completely avoid the restrictions of the rules of heaven and earth in the present world, so that the lord of Beibi Mountain can make a move in the ghost.

A ghost immortal sits in a ghost, and for today's Xuanhuang Realm, it is definitely a Jedi.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuan couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart.

"Thanks to the reminder of the Star Divine Power, I realized in advance that the Lord of the Northern Mountain might move with the further restoration of the rules of heaven and earth.

Otherwise, when he gains momentum, even if he smashes the foundation of the Great Xia Imperial Court, he may not be able to suppress the ghosts. ”

As soon as he thought of this, Shen Yuan turned his head to Gong Buyu and Xue Mingzhi behind him and reminded:

"Follow me and pay attention to your surroundings."

After finishing speaking, Shen Yuan did not choose to measure the Beibi Mountain with his feet, but directly sent the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to fly in the direction of the ghost qi.

Gong Buyu and Xue Mingzhi didn't dare to relax in the slightest, and hurriedly followed Shen Yuan.

The ten-kilometer distance had only been reached in just a few minutes, but in just a few minutes, the ghost snake in Shen Yuan's sight had already spread dozens of meters ahead, and the gray ghost mist engulfed a large area of mountains and forests.

From a distance, it seemed as if an incomparably huge ghost creature had opened its mouth and wanted to swallow the entire mountain forest into its belly.

The starlight in Shen Yuan's eyes flickered, and with the blessing of the star supernatural power, he easily penetrated the ghost snake in front of him and saw the scene inside the ghost dragon.

A large number of trees that have been extracted from the spirit essence begin to decay, the dry trunks and branches have turned into demons, and the creatures inside them have also been extracted from their vitality in the erosion of the ghosts, and the fragile ghosts are swallowed by the ghosts as soon as they appear.

In fact, normally speaking, this kind of newly-born ghost snake will not cause the effect of corruption so quickly, but because the spirit essence of the entire Beibi Mountain has already been extracted, those creatures that have been hollowed out of the spirit essence cannot resist the erosion of the ghost snake at all, which is also the reason why the ghost snake expands so quickly.

The gaze was on the heart of the Devil's Nest, a huge canyon surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only a narrow entrance into it.

Around the canyon, there are pieces of ruined ancient stone monuments standing here, with vague sermons on them that disappear from time to time.

This ghost snake spread from the ancient forbidden land in the core of the North Mountain.

"The Lord of the Northern Mountains is really related to the Ancient Forbidden Land!"

Shen Yuan knew it in his heart, but he didn't have time to think about the current situation, so he flew straight into the ghost.

Gong Buyu and Xue Mingzhi followed, and as soon as the three of them entered the ghost snake, they immediately felt a cold aura constantly eroding towards their bodies, wanting to drain the vitality in the bodies of the three of them.

"Get out!"

Shen Yuan scolded softly, under the blessing of the exorcism supernatural power that had already stepped into the realm, the effect of the Truth Edict was no longer what it used to be, even if it was an invisible thing, it would be affected by the Truth Edict.

A large area of ghost mist collapsed, and all the ghost mist within a hundred meters of Shen Yuan dissipated, and those ubiquitous cold aura did not even dare to continue to approach Shen Yuan, but deliberately avoided Shen Yuan and the others.

Xue Mingzhi watched all this in shock, but Shen Yuan seemed to have done a trivial thing and said softly and casually:

"Let's go."

Walking among the ghosts, in addition to the large areas of dry trees and barren land, there are also some newborn spirits wandering around.

The effect of the Truth Edict was still maintained, and these spirits did not dare to approach Shen Yuan and the others at all, and as they approached the Ancient Forbidden Land, there were more and more spirits around them.

"What the hell is going on?"

Xue Mingzhi finally couldn't hold back the surprise in his heart and asked.

Before heading to the courtyard secret realm, he also retrieved the latest relevant information about Beibi Mountain, and confirmed that it was only an abnormality within the Ancient Forbidden Land, and there was nothing unusual outside the Ancient Forbidden Land.

But as long as the ghost shrouded in the mountains and forests in front of him is not blind, he can see the abnormality.

"Did all these ghosts appear in one day?"

Before Shen Yuan could reply, a frightened voice suddenly sounded in front of him.

"Help! Who's going to save us! ”

"Run!"

Shen Yuan's eyes froze, a little surprised that there were still living beings in this ghost.

The starlight in his eyes condensed, and Shen Yuan only saw two young men in mountaineering suits hurriedly fleeing in the forest hundreds of meters away, and several geismos and a powerful ghost of the Qi Transformation Realm were chasing the two of them behind them.

The two young men did not have any cultivation, and the powerful ghosts of the Qi Transformation Realm could have killed the two of them early, but the hideous face had a cat-and-mouse banter, allowing a few geists to chase after them.

The spirit is only the lowest-level ghost thing, although it is comparable to the realm of refining essence, it cannot interfere with the physical body, and can only use the soul body to collide with the bodies of the two young people and take away the yang energy and vitality in their bodies.

The two youths had obviously been trained to support themselves under the pursuit of the geist, but by this time they were already at the end of their crossbows.

Zhang Jiang, who had been in a state of escape since noon, finally couldn't support it, and his legs went weak and his body fell heavily to the ground.

Cheng Hu on the side wanted to pull him up, but his body, which had also reached the limit, couldn't exert his strength.

Zhang Jiang said with a pale face: "Let's go!" Don't save me, I'm completely out of strength.

Even if we run out of the ghost fog in front of us, it is impossible to run out of this northern mountain, let alone a big guy staring at us behind. ”

Zhang Jiang's words seemed to drain Cheng Hu's spirit, he gave up pulling Zhang Jiang up, and instead sat on the ground and gasped.

"You're right, instead of being played by these ghosts, it's better to die here directly, and you can have a companion on Huangquan Road!"

The geist had stopped chasing, and the ghost, haunted by the evil spirit, walked out from behind the geist.

The ghost remained in human form, and even wore the same mountaineering suit as the two of them, and a huge scratch on his face almost split the entire face in two, and said with a hideous smile on his face:

"Run! Aren't you quite able to run? ”

Cheng Hu looked at the powerful ghost in front of him without fear, and spit on the ground and said coldly:

"Jiang Cheng, you're just a dog under that monster, what are you angry here?"

The powerful ghost known as Jiang Cheng did not rise at all, but sneered:

"What's so bad about being a dog? On the contrary, they are about to be scattered and become the nourishment of this ghost. ”

Zhang Jiang scolded angrily: "It was you who were in the same league with the monsters in that place that caused the others to be killed.

If it weren't for you, those of us wouldn't have died! ”

Jiang Cheng's smile became more and more gloomy:

"You think I'm the only one who betrayed? In that environment, taking refuge in adults is the only way out, and those guys already have ideas, but they are just one step slower than me, so they are scattered instead of me.

What's more, these words are no longer of any value, and I have been promised by my lord that I can further become a fierce ghost as long as the ghost snake spreads to the northern mountains.

In the future, he can even become a ghost king, and even be given the method of autopsy to become a ghost immortal.

And you're just a bunch of ants feeding the ghosts. ”

"All the way, go well!"

When the words fell, Jiang Cheng rushed towards the two of them, and the ghost qi on his right hand surged as if he was about to tear the two apart.

Zhang Jiang's face was full of despair, and Cheng Hu's eyes were also full of unwillingness.

At this moment, a white light crossed hundreds of meters, and the surrounding ghost fog seemed to be split in two by an invisible sword, revealing a dustless place in the forest shrouded in ghost mist.

The sword light hadn't even fallen, and the seemingly vicious ghost and several geysants were scattered under the sword momentum.
