Chapter 288: Barren Mountain and Broken Temple

The name of Ailao Mountain comes from the ancient country of Ailao in the pre-Qin period, and in the period of Ailao Ancient Kingdom, Ailao Mountain was the eastern boundary mountain of Ailao Ancient Kingdom.

Ailao Mountain is majestic, stretches endlessly, Ailao Mountain starts from Langdong Jiedu Mansion in the north, arrives at Tonghai Governor's Mansion in the south, and the mountain stretches for about 1,000 miles.

"The Witch God Sect of Ailao Mountain is the first major cultivation sect in the Nanzhao Kingdom, and most of its sects are witchcraft monks, and the magic powers and spells of witchcraft monks are unpredictable, and this time when you go to the Witch God Sect, you must be cautious. ”

Li Qingxuan walked with a sword, and at the same time, he was constantly thinking about it. Just when Li Qingxuan's mind was turning, suddenly a blazing red light swept towards him from the deep mountains and forests below.

This blazing red light was one hundred and twenty zhang long and about a foot wide, and the red light suddenly peeked out from the mountains and forests below, as if a long red ribbon had suddenly been blown up by a strong wind.

"Where did you come from?

Li Qingxuan flexed his fingers and threw out an invisible sword aura, cutting off a small section of the ribbon-like red light.

After this blazing red light was cut off by Li Qingxuan with an invisible sword qi, he suddenly took it back very quickly, Li Qingxuan frowned slightly when he saw this, and then put away the Nine Crow Swords, and his figure fell against the wind.

Li Qingxuan looked on the path between the mountains and forests, and saw that the small piece of red light that he had cut off just now was originally a piece of stuff like a cow's tongue.

This section of the cow's tongue-like thing is about a foot wide, and the length is about one zhang and three feet long, and bright red blood flows out from time to time at the fracture that was cut off by the invisible sword qi.

Li Qingxuan's ears moved, and then he turned his head to look at the deep dense forest, and saw a pale green phantom flashing. Li Qingxuan's six senses were extremely sensitive, and when he landed, he saw an oily green toad the size of a copper plate, and there were many poisonous bumps the size of walnuts on the back of the oily green toad.

The green toad glanced at Li Qingxuan from a distance, and then jumped and fled into the depths of the dense forest. The corners of Li Qingxuan's mouth pulled a sneer, and then his figure flashed, and he chased towards the green toad.

The oil green toad was cut off by Li Qingxuan's sword qi

After talking about it, it knew that it had provoked a big man who should not be provoked, and it knew that it was invincible to Li Qingxuan, and when it saw Li Qingxuan chasing after him, the oily green toad suddenly died, and the oily green toad mustered all his strength and quickly ran for his life to the depths of the dense forest.

Between the oil green toad jumping and jumping, about ten zhang away, the mountains and forests are full of thorns, strange rocks, this oil green toad is obviously very familiar with the environment of this mountain forest, if it is an ordinary dragon and tiger real person, it may be thrown off, but Li Qingxuan is different from the ordinary dragon and tiger real person.

Li Qingxuan shrank the ground into inches, but caught up with the oily green toad in two breaths, Li Qingxuan snapped his fingers, and an invisible sword qi slashed directly at the oily green toad, and the oily green toad's eyes turned, and suddenly a large piece of green mist spewed out, and the mist covered the oily green toad.

This large piece of green mist is very toxic, if a cultivator who leaves the intersection realm accidentally inhales it, he will lose his ability to move, but for Li Qingxuan, this large piece of green mist can only be dispelled casually.

There was no wind around Li Qingxuan, sweeping away this large area of green poisonous mist, and the invisible sword qi directly cut the oil green toad in half, but Li Qingxuan frowned.

"This oily green toad actually has the magical power of 'golden cicada shedding its shell', and it escaped by it, could it be that this oily green toad has a lot of origin?" Li Qingxuan glanced at the body left by the oily green toad, and then rose up with his sword and continued towards Ailao Mountain in the southeast direction.

Li Qingxuan carried his hands on his back and walked leisurely on his sword, a fierce wind blew in the sky, and the wind blew Li Qingxuan's clothes into a hunting sound, Li Qingxuan didn't care, he still carried his hands behind his back, and quietly looked into the distance.

When Li Qingxuan went to the Diancang Sword Sect before, he traveled from the west gate of Taihe City, and Ailao Mountain was located in the southeast of Taihe City, which was quite far away from Taihe City. After leaving Taihe City, there were obviously fewer people, and often there were no people for more than ten miles.

Nanzhao is located in the southwest territory, the southwest is mountainous and forested, most of the villages are built by the mountains, because there are many deep mountains and old forests, so there are many poisonous insects and beasts. Except for the people who live in the city, the rest of the people of Nanzhao Kingdom are scattered among the mountains and wilderness.

Li Qingxuan walked with a sword, and he didn't care about the one or two villages that occasionally appeared below

Although the village tribes of Nanzhao Kingdom have very different styles from the Central Plains, and there is a unique scenery in their hearts, most of these village tribes are extremely exclusive.

Li Qingxuan didn't come to Nanzhao Kingdom this time to play, so he only went in the direction of Ailao Mountain, who likes mountains and rivers.

When Li Qingxuan left from the Diancang Sword Sect, it was already the middle of the day, and after the sudden blockade of the oil green toad before, it was already sunset, and the sky was gradually darkening.

A barren mountain appeared in front of Li Qingxuan's eyes, and there was a brightly lit broken temple on the mountainside of the barren mountain, and there was a flagpole in front of the broken temple, and there was no flag on the flagpole, and even the wood paint had fallen off a large piece.

Li Qingxuan floated down from the sky, preparing to rest for the night in this brightly lit ruined temple, since there were bright lights in the ruined temple, it was obvious that someone was there.

In the past, when Li Qingxuan walked the rivers and lakes, he was ordered by his master to face many taboos on the rivers and lakes, such as the broken temple on this barren mountain is one of the taboos in the rivers and lakes.

Li Qingxuan once heard his master Zhang Laodao talk about the admonition that "one person does not enter the temple, two people do not look at the well, three people do not climb trees, and sit alone on the railing".

If Li Qingxuan was still a former knight in the rivers and lakes, Li Qingxuan might still abide by these taboo rules, but now he is one of the few dragon and tiger real people in the world, and these past taboos and rules have long been useless for him.

The reason why Li Qingxuan remembered these was because he suddenly remembered his mentor Zhang Laodao, and a trace of nostalgia flashed in Li Qingxuan's eyes, and then he packed up his mood and entered the ruined temple.

Although the appearance of the broken temple is broken, but the inside is mostly not damaged, although the inside of the broken temple is quite wide, but it is crowded with swords and swords of the rivers and lakes and green forest hawkers, in addition to these hawkers, there are also a small number of businessmen who take advantage of the war between Li Tang and Nanzhao to do various businesses.

These merchants are all in groups of seven or eight, and they all carry swords, after all, the situation is unstable, and the merchants who dare to come out to do business are naturally not ordinary businessmen. Whether it is these businessmen or these people in the rivers and lakes, they are all temporarily resting here because it is too late.
