Volume 1 The Phoenix Bird Returns to the World Chapter 53 The Spirit Treasure Appears in the World (2)
Mingtai Mountain is a majestic mountain range that lies in the western part of Yangzhou, composed of a main peak, five secondary peaks, the mountains are stacked on top of each other, the sea of clouds is churning, people stand at the foot of the mountain and face the peak like a drop in the ocean, this mountain is the first mountain in Yangzhou.
After the people who are not afraid of death go up the mountain one after another, they find that the roads in the mountains are messy, the avenues are interspersed with paths, and there are all kinds of ancient trees standing in all directions, dense and towering, and some places can not even shine in the sun, it is very cold, and the slightest carelessness in this kind of place will get lost, and the group of people with different hearts have to walk in groups.
The road of Mingtai Mountain is not "clear", but full of steepness and gloom.
"Six Knife Slave, tell me why the mountain road of Mingtai Mountain is so difficult to walk? Could it be that there are layers of hidden passages, haven't you been up the mountain before? The masked woman walked at the forefront, muttering as she flicked her whip to split the dense canes.
"It was all three years ago, a lot of things have changed, and now this Mingtai Mountain has become even stranger, and I don't know where to go. The long-haired warrior with six swords hanging on his back looked pale, he looked around, the compass in his hand actually didn't obey the call, just now as soon as he entered the mountain, it was out of order, and the more he went up the mountain, the more serious it became.
"Hey, the thief said that he would go up the mountain together but changed the hexagram at zero time, he is proficient in techniques such as astronomy and geography Qimen Dunjia, if he is here, why will they not go so hard. The masked woman was indignant, and if the emaciated Taoist stood in front of him at this moment, she would have scolded him.
"When the thief heard that the woodcutter in the mountain said that the black demon god carrying the spiritual treasure was a black demon god with amazing strength, he cowered and did not dare to go up the mountain. The rich man walked at the end, his eyes moved left and right, he carefully observed the changes in the surrounding environment, very carefully.
"Do you think that the Dark Demon God is really that scary? I heard that last night, a group of people went up the mountain to hunt for treasure, but they encountered the Dark Demon God, and all the troops were wiped out, and they died a tragic death, and there was not even a whole corpse. The more the masked woman spoke, the more frightened she became, and her heart beat to her throat.
"Hehe, are you scared?" The rich man glanced at the masked woman in a yellow shirt with a graceful figure, and couldn't help but take a few more looks, although he didn't get to see the woman's true face under the black veil, but it was not bad to have a good time.
"What's so scary, it's really dangerous, I'm sure I'll hide behind you and cast spells, and I'm not going to go hand-to-hand combat. The masked woman couldn't help but smile lightly, the pair of aura-like apricot eyes were a little seductive, obviously she saw that the rich and noble son had a little meaning to her, so she looked back at the other party with a smile in her eyes, the rich and noble son was fair and handsome, and he liked the type.
"You two stop flirting, I don't think it's going to be the right way. The bearded warrior's face turned pale, not that the words of the two disturbed him, but that he found that there was no way ahead, and this was the third time that he had reached the end of the mountain path, and in front of him was a bottomless ravine.
At this moment, in addition to the three of them, there were many cultivators of various sects and sects who rushed to the mountain, but most of them lost their direction in the mountain, because the mountain was too big to imagine, as if they were looking for a light in a fog that could not be seen.
"What should I do?" The long-haired warrior said silently.
"Wait, I heard a slight noise over there. The rich man pricked up his ears and listened to the other end of the Weirui Forest a hundred paces away, and there seemed to be movement there, it was a human voice.
At present, the three people with different genders, identities, ages, and appearances have their own strengths, and the rich and noble son is very clever and wise, and his senses are extremely sensitive, his ears can peep three hundred steps away, and his eyes can check within ten miles. The masked woman's body is light and light, and it is as easy as flying up a ten-zhang tall tree as easy as probing for a bag. Six swords martial arts, strong and heavy, proficient in one chain hanging six knives, the art of traction is superb.
"Yes, that's right, then there is Lu, follow me. The rich man turned around and walked backwards, and the two of them followed him to change directions.
When the three of them walked to another wide mountain road, there was a low-lying place at their feet, and the three of them looked down, their eyes were startled, and their fur stood on end, which was too terrifying.
They should have been happy to find a smooth and clear path, but seeing this bloody scene, the three of them didn't know whether to be happy or afraid.
The low-lying area was full of dark red and black blood, there was already some tendency to coagulate, there were seven or eight figures lying in the blood, the heads up, the ground, the reclining, the prostrate, those or martial arts, or Daomen, or scholars' corpses were not complete, it was creepy to see, the bare white bones were immersed in the thick blood water, and the red and white wounds that were turned over attracted the bites of countless ants and flying insects.
"This ......" The masked woman stared blankly, and suddenly her stomach churned, and she quickly turned around and bent over.
"It seems to be true, the black demon god is not an ordinary treasure protector, cultivation is only afraid of high scary, these people are all disciples of the famous sect, and now they are buried here, but the news has not been spread yet, this is just the tip of the iceberg, there are countless people who go up the mountain, and there are definitely a lot of people who die in silence, why do you still go up the mountain?" The rich man was silent for a moment, and then suddenly spoke.
"Uh...... Now it's hard to ride a tiger, and the back road is broken, so how can we go down the mountain? The trees in the mountain keep changing their positions, I'm afraid that we won't be able to go down the mountain, so be careful. The long-haired warrior looked up at the steep and dangerous road in front of him with a solemn look, he knew that he couldn't go back, and only by moving forward could he survive.
"Yes, with you here, what am I afraid of? The masked woman adjusted her mentality, her face returned to normal, and she looked at the two of them with a determined expression.
"Good. Mountain. "The rich and noble son is at the forefront, and now all three of them have eliminated their selfishness because they want to live.

Lu Jingyuan waited until some information in the mountains was in his own hands, and then he took a group of people to climb the mountain slowly, after the last trip to Longchuan to seize the treasure, he became smart this time, how can the spirit treasure be so easy to be taken away, the first to go up the mountain often get nothing soup can not drink, and even lose their lives in vain, the real taste of fresh meat and thick juice are far-sighted and waiting for the opportunity, life is like this, the court is like this, the rivers and lakes are also like this.
The reason why Mingtai Mountain is respected as the first mountain in Yangzhou starts from a thousand years ago.
A thousand years ago, there was a true immortal passing through Yangzhou, when he drove through this place, he suddenly found that this inconspicuous low hill was actually a treasure place that gathered spiritual energy, he was ecstatic for a while, and his big sleeves were spread, leaving a grain of gold pill into spiritual energy to infiltrate into the land, and the original ugly bald hill turned into a mighty mountain.
The real person named this mountain "Mingtai Peak"
It is a place to collect the spirit of Tibet, nurture heaven and man, bless one party, and shine in the treasure realm.
Later, the true immortals set up a Taoist array for Mingtai Mountain, called "Xuanmen Nine Paths"
The nine paths of Xuanmen are the essence of the true immortals sitting on the top of the peak of the peak and watching the Tianshu Array of the Dougong Palace, the Bagua of Xuanmen, and the three formations of the Ten Palaces of Yama, and combined with the mystery of the remnants of the "Heavenly God Demon Array", it has been exhausted for three years and painstakingly studied. One day, a real person had a flash of inspiration, created the nine ways of the Qiushan Xuanmen, and used the immortal method to move the mountains and fill the gullies, with more than 300 secret doors under his subordinates, and 581 bright positions, which are extremely precise and mysterious.
The nine paths of the Xuanmen are divided into internal and external labyrinths, the outer roads are strange with ancient trees, the mountain spirits are ghostly, the heights are staggered, the inner roads are secluded, the undercurrent is crevices, and the crisis is dormant. The array is changing rapidly, there is no fixed pattern, if the person who breaks into the palace does not have the Qimen Dunjia, or is not proficient in the art of the Xuanmen, he can only be trapped to death.
Talking about the Taoist formation, there are external instruments as the auxiliary, with the true qi as the traction for the three-grade formation, and there are based on the external environment, with the aura as the center for the second-grade formation, and the last type is unknown to no one, or has the power to go against the sky.
The Nine Paths of Xuanmen are second-grade array techniques, and they are superior.
After thousands of years, the real person is no longer in the world, and no one knows the mystery of the formation, how it works, and even the mountain gods of Mingtai Mountain only know some fur and have no terrifying power.
After Lu Jingyuan went up the mountain, he chose a relatively wide bluestone path, there was a trace of sunshine sprinkled on the stone road that was piled up layer by layer, he had a sheepskin map in his hand, there were countless annotations on the map, densely packed, he spent a lot of money to buy this picture, and there was a picture in hand to keep it in the mountain and would not get lost.
"Childe, I heard that the Dark Demon God is not easy to mess with this time, why should you be careful. Ziling followed behind him, looking thoughtfully at the floating clouds on the mountainside.
"Well, as long as we don't act rashly, everything is under control. Lu Jingyuan also heard some news, although the spiritual cultivation of the Treasure Mountain is amazing, but the two fists are difficult to beat, let those stunned young people consume the mountain spirit first, and then it will be time for him to make a move at the last moment.
Everyone walked in the mountain for a few hours, but they did not catch any trace of the mountain spirit, and it seems that this mountain spirit is a little different.
Soon the sun was setting, and the Kuroshio was surging in the forest sea.
At night, the mountain wind is whirling, the green pines are steep, the dry ground is full of dry branches and leaves, and a bean flame rises slowly, which is very thin in the cold night, although the flame is not vigorous, but in this bleak world, it suddenly opens up a cramped and warm space.
"Crackling!" The flames jumped wildly, constantly rising and falling, and the cheeks of the people were a little blurred.
"This fish, the roasted outside is charred and tender inside is the most delicious, the fish fry raised by the water of the Lingshan Canal are much more fresh than the fish in the world, how much will be stained with the breath of the fairy family, the meat is more abundant, you can taste it." Ziling skillfully borrowed a knife to cut open the belly of the fish, the carp that was originally vigorous was held by her bare hands, and immediately couldn't move, a three-foot bamboo stick penetrated the body of the fish in one go, and the fat fish was poured by the golden flames and turned over the scorched crisp, exuding bursts of crispy fragrance.
"Ziling is really ingenious, come and let me taste it. Lu Jingyuan couldn't help but praise, he touched his stomach, walked for a long time, and now he was really hungry, so he took the first roasted carp away.
Lu Jingyuan gently leaned on the deep-rooted ancient trees behind him, the ancient trees towered in the lacquered night, the four sides were squirming, the insects were hovering, and there were shining starlight above his head to help the leaves leak out of the light spots.
"Yes, this fish is ready, it's ready to eat!" A sword martial artist stared at him directly, he had been hungry all night, looking at Ziling's greasy and crisp yellow carp, he sniffed the fish, and swallowed his saliva hard.
"Squeak, squeak!" Ziling took a bite of her lips and savored it, and tore the charred skin like a pancake with her hands, frowned, and smeared some various seasonings and sauces, she was a real connoisseur in baking delicacies.
There are thousands of ways to fish and meat in the world, shallow to ordinary people's private dishes, fine to the royal kitchen Wen smoke and frying, the world often says that immortals do not eat fireworks in the world, see this scene is only bullshit, at this time if there are immortals next to them also have to stay saliva.
"The saltiness is moderate, the meat is tender and crispy, and the grill is not bad!" Lu Jingyuan chewed deliciously, and no one commented on the delicacies in his hands.
Yu Huai took a few bites, and suddenly frowned, he seemed to hear some noise just now, just in the northwest direction, he stood up leisurely, and looked over.
The other four martial cultivators also sensed the abnormality and became vigilant.
Suddenly, Yu Huai opened his mouth.
"Second son, there seems to be a fight over there. ”
