The cultivation realm of the Oriental Shu Xuan Xianzhou spans thousands of miles, Mengbi Shenghua Mountain is located in the east and west, and it is 800 miles west to the area at the junction of the east and west, which is called the Wulan Mountain Range, which is the branch of Mengbi Shenghua Mountain.

The Wulan Mountains are not tall and straight, and the mountains are relatively soothing, but the vegetation in the mountains is lush, the terrain is complex and diverse, and the most important thing is that the clouds and mist are shrouded all year round, hence the name.

Hundreds of years ago, Wulan Mountain was rich in mineral deposits, and several Xiuzhen sects in the mountains and nearby competed to mine here, and this place was once very lively and prosperous, and then the ore veins were excavated and gradually deserted.

The Vientiane Gate itself is rich in resources, and it has not been forced to include this place in its sphere of influence, and the resources and environment have been damaged for a long time, so it is sparsely populated, but it has been able to recuperate.

It was not until recent years that the ecology of the mountains gradually recovered, and various resources had usable value, and people began to enter the mountains in the east and west, forming a number of small towns and villages at several entrances and exits and in the mountains.

Because there are no major cultivation sects near the east and west sides of the mountain range, in general, this is still a relatively remote and quiet place, and few people care about it, which may be the reason why the other party chose to hide here.

Mu Qitian and the others first arrived in the ancient town of Yuehe and picked up two children of the Teng family, one named Teng Lin and the other named Teng Zhen, both of whom have the cultivation of the medicine realm, and these two have entered the Wulan Mountain Range many times, and this trip is to serve as a guide for everyone.

According to the daily leg strength of a unicorn, it takes two or three days to travel 800 miles. Everyone was not in a hurry, and walked slowly after leaving Yuehe Town, and the eight young boys and girls were all traveling down the mountain for the first time, each excited, enjoying the winter cultural scenery of Xianzhou all the way, and chatting at the same time.

In Mu Qitian's group, Hua Lanting and Feng Qingjun often whispered to themselves, mainly discussing their experience in medical herbs, and Hua Lanting still remembered the scene of Feng Qingjun's defeat of the opponent's poisonous attribute attack on the big competition. Song Feifei still pestered Lin Xianjing, it seemed that she always had endless words to say to him, although Lin Xianzhen couldn't reply a sentence in three sentences.

The guide Teng Lin is in his thirties, mature and accidental, good at observing words and feelings, and very strong in conversation, often interjecting the time to introduce the customs and production of minerals, animals and plants to the four of them, and will not be lonely along the way.

In Yiyun's group, Zhuge Yun, Wen Yin and Guide Teng Zhen are all people who don't talk much, and Yi Liunian is still embarrassed to talk to Wen Yin more, so he had to seize the opportunity to ask Zhang Hanyun about the beast he is interested in.

In the evening, as the surrounding mountains eased, the group came to the eastern mountain pass of Wulan Mountain, where there was the only town nearby under a leeward ridge. Teng Lin found a hotel where he had stayed before for everyone to stay, the hotel was not big, and the twelve people seemed very crowded as soon as they entered.

After Teng Lin arranged dinner for everyone, he said that he went out to investigate the situation and went out with Teng Zhen.

After a simple wash, they have come to the hall to eat, there are four or five tables of scattered guests in the hall, the charcoal brazier in the hall is extremely hot, although everyone is not tired in a row, but in the harsh winter cold night to sit in the hot and sweaty room is still very comfortable with meat and wine.

Halfway through eating, Teng Lin and Teng Zhen came back, and after the two shook off the snow on their bodies and sat down, Mu Qitian asked in a low voice, "How is it?

Teng Lin smiled: "The situation is not true, but it is not normal to say that it is normal." ”

Seeing that everyone's eyes were looking over, Teng Lin continued: "It's normal because nothing special has happened recently, and it's abnormal because there are more people than usual, and something may happen later." Speaking of which, Teng Lin sold a pass, picked up the wine and took a sip.

Along the way, Yi Liunian knew about Teng Lin's problem, and he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so he hoped to do something to come out, and urged: "The wine is enough, Brother Teng, don't drink half of it, hurry up." ”

Teng Lin then continued: "I also inquired before I remembered that there was such a file, it is a long story, it should be more than six hundred years ago, Wulan Mountain was the time when the spiritual veins were vigorously mined, and the heroes stood side by side, during which there was a Wulan Yunxian Sect, the sect master Wushu Daoist, the four major disciples under the seat, hundreds of disciples, it is said that it occupies half of the mineral source, and it is the number one Xiuzhen sect within a radius of 100 miles. ”

"This Asangae Daoist is a master of the reincarnation realm, and he has succeeded in cultivating the Fog Lock Yunlan Gong and the formation, plus the Lingyun Spear, Qingyun Staff, Izumo Halberd, and Liuyun Sword. His old man relied on this to deter the Quartet, and the divine dragon saw the head but did not see the end, and the four disciples of Chu, Wu, Han, and Leng managed the sect on weekdays. ”

"Later, somehow, suddenly the Wulan Mountain shook the mountains, and the spiritual veins almost disappeared, and it is said that the other three major sects in the mountains joined forces to attack the Yunxian Sect Xingshi and asked for the guilt, thinking that it was the Wushu Daoist who cast a formation to collect the spiritual veins and cut off everyone's cultivation resources and financial routes. After this battle, the two defeats were injured, the heads of the three factions died, and the Wulan Yunxian Sect was nowhere to be found, and the Wulan Yunxian Sect was scattered since then, and after there was no spiritual vein, the four major disciples left to set up their own portals, and the Wulan Mountain Range was also depressed. ”

"A generation of legends ended, but then a legend spread out, saying that the spiritual veins collected and protected by the Wusangae people in formations will be opened once every hundred years, and those who hold their tokens can get a part of the mineral vein spiritual energy resources, it is rumored that someone has seen it with their own eyes a long time ago, but in recent hundreds of years, because I have not heard that anyone has obtained the spiritual vein, it is difficult to distinguish whether it is true or false, and it has gradually become a legend, and it has gradually been forgotten. ”

"At this time of this year, it is the centennial period, which is why some cultivators come here at this time when the mountains are covered by heavy snow in this harsh winter. However, because there are fewer and fewer people who know and believe in this, they are all idle people who want to try their luck, otherwise there should only be a small number of cultivators who collect winter herbs and hunt spirit beasts at this time. ”

At this time, the innkeeper happened to come over to refill the wine, and when he heard Teng Lin's words, he interjected: "I have known this rumor here for a long time, and there are different versions. Some say that the four disciples were in the nest and forced the master to die and the uneven distribution of the spoils caused the Yunxian Sect to fall apart; some say that the old way of practicing Wushu went mad, and his mind changed greatly and began to kill people indiscriminately and ruined the sect himself; some are even more outrageous, saying that the heavens saw that the spiritual veins were demanded and exploited excessively, and the heavenly thunder sent down the heavenly thunder to press the spiritual veins into the depths of the earth, causing a series of subsequent accidents. ”

Yi Liunian asked, "Did anyone really get the mineral vein aura later?"

The boss shook his head: "The rumors in the rivers and lakes are groundless, maybe there is a reason for it, maybe it's just that the descendants will wear it up, I hope it's true, otherwise my small shop is rarely patronized and the business is light." “

"But then again, around the time of the winter solstice, the clouds and mist in this mountain are indeed thicker, and thunder falls from time to time, which is very strange. It should be true that the other four disciples later set up their own doors. Now the second-rate sect Lingyun Sect in the west of Xianzhou is said to have been founded by the eldest disciple and continues to this day; and the second disciple went to the north of Xianzhou to found the Qingyun Sect, but later heard that the sect was destroyed during the war; the third disciple went to the south and is now obliterated; the fourth disciple is a woman, and later became a nun, and some people say that the dilapidated Liuyun Nunnery in the mountains used to be her residence. “

"By the way, I remember that my grandfather once told me that when he was young, he heard from the Orion in the mountains on the winter solstice of a certain century-old period that he saw a cultivator fighting method, and who can tell whether this rumor is true or false. ”

A guest at the table next to him said at this time: "Our brother has traveled here, and he also heard this rumor by chance, so I came over by the way to take a look, the ore vein is not wanted, but boss, do you know what spirit beast elixir is produced in the mountains, so as not to let our brother go empty-handed on this cold day." ”

The boss replied with a smile: "This guest officer, you are asking the right person, although Wulan Mountain has no spiritual vein, but this perennial cloud and mist has always contained a little aura, after hundreds of years of nourishment, there are really a lot of unique products in the mountain, attracting outsiders to enter, otherwise I will not open a store here in this cold winter, it is better to go home to my wife and children to hot kang head." ”

"Speaking of the most famous, there are two things, one is the red-tailed spirit fox, only in the winter in the mountains, this fox is a sensitive sense of smell, often raised by the Xiuzhen sect for tracking and treasure hunting, in addition to a red-tailed water and fire does not invade, but also can resist the detection of spiritual sense. “

"Then there is the snow night fan palm flower, every hundred years in the winter snow open, like an erected palm, more than half a person high, red, green and white, leaves such as six-petal snowflakes, this flower into the medicine can be refined into elixir, take it can solve most of the cold poison, and can increase the power of ice magic. Of course, there are many treasures, but these two things are only produced here, and you can try your luck in the mountains. ”

Yi Liunian was still immersed in the rumors just now, and asked again: "Did someone say what a treasure hunting token is?"

The boss smiled and said, "Young man, I don't know, I won't say it, okay?"

Yi Liunian also laughed wryly, and suddenly heard the boss shouting: "My cured meat!" Everyone looked at it, it turned out to be Zhang Hanyun's spotted possum and Yi Liunian's spotted winged flying lizard competing for the cured meat that the boss hung at the door, and everyone laughed, and they didn't talk about this rumor anymore in the laughter.

After dinner, everyone gathered in a room for a meeting, Teng Lin took out a map, Mu Qitian pointed to the map and said: "After entering the mountain tomorrow, there are two roads, a big road, and a mountain road, Teng Lin and I lead Lan Ting to go big, and Yiyun leads another group to walk the mountain road, and we meet at the former site of the Wulan Yunxian Sect in the middle of the mountain range." If there is nothing to do, then continue to separate through the mountain range to the north mountain pass and return to the sect, if you find the enemy on the way, you follow the instructions and adapt to the situation. ”

After the meeting, everyone went back to their rooms to rest, only Teng Lin said that he was going to go out again to find the old man to inquire about the situation, Mu Qitian asked him to bring Teng Zhen just in case, Teng Lin said that he was very familiar with it here, and there would be no problems, and he went out alone.

There was no moon that night, it was pitch black outside, everything was silent, the falling snow could be heard, and a gray sculpture quietly slid up in silence, flew hundreds of meters low and then rose into the air, disappearing into the night.

In the town, several spiritual senses and eyes swept across the sky, no one moved, and some people thought.

At this time, the wind and snow in the entire Wulan Mountain Area were even greater, and gradually there was a thick fog, and there were occasional thunderbolts shining from time to time in the depths of the middle.
