In the midst of a verdant mountain peak, Xiaochen woke up a little confused.

"Why am I here?" Xiaochen looked around vigilantly, but the surrounding environment was verdant and full of life, butterflies and bees were busy picking flowers, and the large tree lying down in front of him was growing horizontally, and there were a few foxes resting under the tree.

"It doesn't look like it's dangerous, I remember that I was meditating and practicing in the inn, why did I suddenly come here." Xiao Chen thought about it, and suddenly came back to his senses, rummaging through the storage ring, only to find that the white jade statue was gone.

Just as Xiaochen felt a little creepy, a childlike crisp sound sounded from behind.

"Hello... Do you see me like a human? ”

A child in a red shirt with a button is looking at him, waiting for his answer.

Xiaochen was a little stunned for a while, and under the glance of his eyes, the child was like a pink carving, his face was full of blessing and joy, his small New Year's hat covered his hair, and his big eyes were blinking at this time waiting for him to answer.

This is... The spirit of mountains and rivers, mountains or mountains and rivers, everything in nature, has been worshiped by the incense of the world for a long time, gathering pure pious beliefs, and in the long run, mountains, rocks, plants and trees have the opportunity to be ignited into spirits and have spiritual wisdom.

And their cultivation also changes with the offering of incense, the highest is as high as the lord, and the lowest is unable to maintain itself.

But such a spirit of mountains and rivers is pure and friendly in its own mind, but... Naturally, they also have calamities, that is, the Nine Tribulations of Transfiguration.

The spirits of mountains and rivers will carefully dress themselves, whether they are children of four or five years old, or old people of seventy or eighty, and the first thing they ask when they meet passers-by is whether they look like people?

If the one who responds reciprocates kindness, then the spirit of the mountains and rivers will also receive kindness; If the person who answers is maliceful, then the spirit of the mountains and rivers will be calamitized. This is the Nine Tribulations of the Spirit of Mountains and Rivers.

"Like, isn't this the child of the village?" Xiaochen praised.

The child in front of him seemed very happy when he heard the reply, cheered on the spot, and then ran to Xiaochen's side, running and jumping in circles, and shouted happily: "I am human!" I'm human! ”

Turning around, the whole picture seemed to be gradually blurred, Xiaochen also covered his eyebrows in confusion, and when he opened his eyes again, the picture just now had already disappeared from his memory, as if it didn't exist in the first place.

"It's strange, how did I get distracted when I was cultivating, and I almost fell asleep." Xiaochen shook his head, he didn't understand why, maybe he was too tired recently.

Xiao Chen continued to cultivate, thinking that tomorrow he would go to the Yushu Mountain Range to find the traces of the Wind Demon Wolf.

That night, the same dream appeared among the 132 people, all of whom had more or less thoughts in their minds about going to the Yushu Mountains tomorrow, some of them were going to go, and some of them suddenly wanted to go.

Murong Haoyue stayed in his room, and the ground below was engraved with green spells, which were linked little by little, forming a huge talisman formation, and hundreds of red bowls of wax were supplied in front of the talismans, and at this time, they were burning up dots of themselves.

She counted carefully, a total of 132 bowls of wax were burning quietly, Murong Haoyue thought with some confusion: "Why are there a few more?" ”

But soon she didn't care, the lamp of life had been lit, and the person who set foot was involved, but it was not without cause and effect.

"Mother, I will help you get justice, that negative person didn't even come to see you for the last time, hateful, a group of people in the Murong family are hateful!"

"Wait for me, wait for me to get it back, wait for me to be strong enough."

"Everything will be fine." Murong Haoyue closed her hands, as if she was holding something, and prayed sincerely.

She needs strength, she needs help, and there's a place where she knows there's something she wants.

Early in the morning, in the Lingjin Bounty Tower, Xiaochen was looking for the person who led the mountain, that is, the kind of person who was familiar with the Luoxiu Peak and the Shenyu Valley in the Yushu Mountain Range, he had never been to these two places, and the mountain range was layered on top of each other, so naturally someone needed to lead the way.

Over the years, the guy who has been leading the mountain is also very popular, and at this moment, there are many people waiting in the bounty building, and they are wearing cyan hats with a quote printed on the brim, which is also easy to identify in the crowd.

This is also the rule spontaneously formed by the Yinshan people, because it is not allowed to sell and solicit customers in the Lingjin Bounty Building, so the Yinshan people came up with this method to deal with it, and over time it has become a kind of rule.

"I'm going to Luo Xiufeng and Shenyu Valley, I wonder if you're familiar with these two places?" Xiao Chen said to the older person in front of him, and at a glance, he knew that he was a person who often ran in the mountains, and his cultivation was not high, and he had just reached the 5th layer of condensation.

"Hello Shaoxia, Luo Xiufeng and Shen Yugu? I know. Limper thought for a moment and then quickly replied.

Xiao Chen looked at the person, his eyes were always thinking, it seemed that he was not deceiving, but he still continued to speak with some unease: "Luo Xiufeng and Shen Yugu belong to which block of the Yushu Mountain Range?" "Asking this is also to prevent someone from blindly picking up work, there are thousands of blocks and branches in the Yushu Mountain Range, and at least hundreds of miles in one block.

Lin Po replied with a smile as if he had expected it: "Luo Xiufeng is located in the Zhuzhu Block, and Shenyu Valley is located in the Pingshan Depression. ”

Xiaochen nodded, this person really didn't lie, and then said, "Okay, let's talk about it in detail." ”

"Good!" Limper is also the way of the response.

Naturally, there is a place for guests to talk in Lingjin Reward Building, and the rental is also simple, 1 piece of lower grade spirit stone for a day.

After paying the spirit stone, Xiaochen and Lin Po also stepped into the private room.

This young man went to these two places to find the Wind Demon Wolf, Lin Po also reacted immediately after hearing the location, of course he would not go to break it, these two places are also quite hot in the mouth of Yinshan, after all, the purchase price of any store with a psychic realm and a complete Wind Demon Wolf is more than 100 medium-grade spirit stones, which has also become a beast that has become a lot of loose cultivators.

Although some people in these two places witnessed the Wind Demon Wolf passing by, they searched for thousands of them, but no one found anything.

But he wouldn't say these words to the young man in front of him, he finally came to a job, or he preferred to be easy, he didn't want to miss it, and it was not pleasing to talk too much.

"The owner can call me Lin Po or Lao Lin, I don't know how much time the owner plans to spend on this trip?" After thinking for a while, Limper spoke first, time was about his reward, and it was what he cared about the most.

The mountain road is rugged, and it is estimated that it will take several days just to go back and forth, so the time naturally needs to be abundant, but it can't be more than two months, after all, I still have to rush to the Unbounded Abyss on June 15 next year, and today is November 21.

After thinking about this, Xiaochen groaned: "A month to two months." ”

Lin Po nodded secretly, seeing that Xiaochen was young before, he was very worried about meeting that kind of short time. Looking for the mountain to guide the way, the most taboo this kind of person, the mountain climate is changeable, often need to modify the route, time is tight, then there will be inexplicable accidents and conflicts.

"Lao Lin, I don't know how much the guide price is?" Xiaochen also said calmly.

"The owner can give 80 to 160 lower-grade spirit stones according to the time, and the deposit is 60 lower-grade spirit stones. If you want to add guards, you will add additional money, and the 5 layers of condensation will be available until the foundation building period. Limper also said quickly.

I don't have much interest in guarding Xiaochen, but for Lin Po's offer, Xiaochen is also a little surprised, and it is clear when I think about it in the future, the guide has a threshold, and it is normal for the price to be higher.

So he nodded and agreed: "Okay, then let's go now, go to Luo Xiufeng first." Immediately, Xiaochen took out 60 lower-grade spirit stones and handed them to Lin Po, Luo Xiufeng was infested with a group of wind demon wolves, which was naturally Xiaochen's first destination.

"You're welcome, then we'll leave now." After Lin Po received the spirit stone, he also said respectfully, the other party did not mention the matter of the guard, and he would not mention it again.

Miscellaneous items standing in the mountains, Lin Po is fully equipped, and he is a little happy to meet a non-procrastinating owner, and then happily leads the way in front, at the beginning of the road is safe, Lin Po is also telling interesting stories in the mountains, which can eliminate some boredom and boredom.

"Look, the highest mountain outside the city is called Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, which is as high as 10,000 zhang."

"It is said that it is inhabited by an unknown dragon spirit, and someone once saw a giant dragon covered in snow white and ice blue dancing on the top of a golden mountain illuminated by the sun on a clear day."

Ice blue and snow white, is it not the ice yin candle dragon vein, Xiao Chen thought, this is not an auspicious beast, the pure blood of the ice yin candle dragon was born with the golden stage Dan cultivation, and it can easily break through to the Yuan infant stage when it becomes an adult, and it belongs to the demon vein, which is a hostile relationship with humans.

Stepping over a broken branch, Lin Po continued: "Also, if you get lost in the Yushu Mountains, just walk towards the place where the sun rises, and most of them can encounter the township post station. ”

"Between the mountains and wilderness, bandits are troubled, most of them only need to buy road money, but there are three bandits who are the worst, one is the Fulu Gang, burning, killing, plundering and doing all kinds of evil, and they must flee as soon as possible when they encounter them. The second is to gather together, and the women who fall into their hands have the most miserable end, and they have been killing men and robbing women externally. The third is the Scourge Cult, those are crazy people, often crazy, but at least better than the first two, they only arrest people, at least life is still alive. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Chen's heart was also moved, among the three bandits, the Natural Calamity Sect was the one with the biggest picture, and the other two were nothing more than mayflies and elephants compared to them.

"Commanded by heaven, punished by God, and your body, be good for me!" Xiao Chen thought of the scene of the Heavenly Calamity Cult raging in his mind, it was simply the place where he passed, floating corpses for thousands of miles.

Along the way, there were stops and stops, with Limper leading the way, and there was really no danger.

Lin Po also didn't have the heart to chat warmly at this time, and some precautions were also explained in the previous journey, and the road ahead required him to concentrate on his spirit.

"Owner, there is a ruined temple not far ahead, which we use as a stopover, let's go there and rest for a while." Lin Po wiped his sweat, and after a day of walking, he was also a little tired, so he proposed.

"Okay, Lao Lin can lead the way." Xiao Chen said casually, a ruined temple could indeed be seen in the distance, and there should already be people in it when there was smoke curling inside.
