"That's fine, the mountain is not steep and easy to climb, let's go up and have a look before we make plans, but you have to be careful with your hands and don't bump into anything. Qingli said with concern.

"Hey, I'm fine, it's just that my bones are cracked, and it's not broken, just pay attention. Yun Xuan sneered.

Wu Ningshuang looked at Yun Xuan's arm that had been drooping, turned his face back, and said, "It's better to tie it with a cloth, so as not to move when he goes up the mountain." ”

"Well, that's right, it's a pity that there are no branches here. Qing Li thought about it, and a white cloth belt appeared on his hand, which was carefully tied up against Yun Xuan's arm.

Yun Xuan was a little strange, where did Qing Li take out the white cloth belt, and asked, "Qing Li, where did you get this cloth belt from?"

Qing Li looked at Wu Ningshuang and whispered, "From my lotus flower, this is a secret. ”

Wait until Qingli helps Yun Xuan tie up.

The three of them found a black mountain with a high peak and climbed upward, climbing halfway up the mountain, Yun Xuan looked back, on the dark earth behind him, the stone road extended, and the branch road found when he walked through the stone road just now continued to fork, winding back and forth, and there were several small hills similar to the black mountain in front of him in the distance.

The layout seems to be a large landscape garden, but the garden is devoid of life and vegetation, which seems to indicate that it has completely lost its vitality countless years ago.

Yun Xuan continued to climb to the top of the mountain, the half moon hung in the far sky, the stars were scorching, and a continuous huge palace group sat quietly on the ground in the distance below the mountain, the palace emitted a cold moon-white clear light, shrouded in the sky above the palace, competing with the stars and moon in the sky.

The palace complex is roughly divided into four main bodies, and in the middle is a huge dark and cold square, where there seems to be a figure standing quietly.

Beyond the clear light of the palace is the vast darkness, and beyond is the bifurcated and winding stone road and the dark earth, which is just as lifeless.

Up to the moment, several lower peaks were connected in front of the standing peak, and a stone path ran from the other side of the small group of mountains in front of them.

Yun Xuan looked at the scene in front of him, his heart was a little depressed, the vast and endless surroundings seemed to have withered and died, only he, Qing Li and Wu Ningshuang were alive.

Yun Xuan looked back at Qing Li and Wu Ningshuang and said, "What do you think?"

Qing Li looked at the stars in the sky and said, "I have observed the stars in the sky just now, and we now see that the stars behind us are weaker than before we set out to come here, and the stars in front have become a little stronger. And that round and a half moon is obviously bigger than before. ”

"If I'm guessing correctly, these stars and the moon are actually not far from us. ”

When Yun Xuan heard Qing Li's words, he immediately observed them carefully, and he found that these stars were indeed the same as Qing Li's description, the ones behind had darkened, and the ones in front had become brighter.

"And these stars are missing a lot. In this situation of less than half of the month, there should be a lot of subtle starlight in the sky. Wu Ningshuang said.

"Could it be that we have come to another world?" Yun Xuan thought suddenly.

Qingli nodded and said, "There is a space here that may be built to imitate the real world we live in, and judging from the earth below, this space has been abandoned for countless years. ”

Yun Xuan listened to Qing Li's words, he was a little shocked, imitating the large space built in the real world, and it was already dead, who would have such a big deal to build such a space.

"When I was on the mountainside just now, I felt that the stone road of the earth below was winding and turning, it should have been a big garden before, much bigger than the garden of our Wu Family Mansion, what kind of place is this?" Wu Ningshuang said.

"Let's go to the palace, do you see? There seems to be a figure in the middle square, and if we want to leave, maybe there is a clue there. Yun Xuan looked at the palace group in the distance and said.

Wu Ningshuang nodded solemnly.

"Let's go, let's go down. Qingli said.

Wu Ningshuang just wanted to turn around and walk back the way she came, but her feet slipped, "Eh", she shouted, leaning to the side.

Qingli next to her hurriedly reached out, grabbed Wu Ningshuang's arm, and pulled her back, and several black stones that had been stepped on by Wu Ningshuang rolled down towards the other side of the mountain, making a clanging sound echoing in the mountains.

"Thank you. Wu Ningshuang said.

"Do you hear that? There seemed to be some other sound when the stone fell. Yun Xuan said suddenly.

Qing Li looked at Yun Xuan, also listened, and said, "No, only the sound of stones." ”

Yun Xuan didn't hear any other sounds at this time, but he clearly heard a crackling sound just now, which was obviously different from the sound of falling stones.

Wu Ningshuang glanced at Yun Xuan and said, "Suspicious, isn't it the sound of a stone!"

"Alright, let's go down, and be mindful when we go down. Qingli hugged Xiaobai, looked at Wu Ningshuang and smiled, then turned to Yun Xuan and said, "Brother Yun Xuan, you have to be very careful. ”

"Hehe, there's a cloth strap tied up, it's fine. Yun Xuan said.

Several people went down to the bottom of the mountain along the original path of climbing, stepped on the stone road, and walked to the mountain pass.

The white stone road stretches into the mountain from the foot of the two mountains, and there is a white boulder standing next to the mountain pass, with three or three big characters written on it, and there are crooked and crooked small characters below, Yun Xuan does not recognize the words on the stone.

He looked at Wu Ningshuang and said, "Do you know what is written on it?"

Wu Ningshuang looked at the words on the boulder and said, "These seem to be the Southern Zhao Kingdom characters that disappeared more than 6,000 years ago. ”

"I recognize, I've learned before. Qingli said.

"The top three big characters say Black Stone Mountain, and the text below reads..."

Qing Li paused for a moment and then recited: "Nian my old people, suitable for traveling in the Southern Wilderness, take the black iron stone of the Southern Wilderness, cast three thousand old parts, and leave the rest in the outer garden." Mo'er misses her hometown, so she imitates the nine mountains with the remaining materials, and Mo'er is happy. ”

After listening to Qing Li's recitation, Wu Ningshuang said with surprise on her face: "It turns out that these mountains are made of black iron stone, and this is the material that will be needed to make Xuanpin weapons and spiritual weapons, and there are so many." Outside, many sects will fight for blood. ”

"Is this black iron stone very valuable?" Yun Xuan asked.

"It's very valuable, and it's very rare, if you think about it, the powerhouses of the Dao Palace Realm will fight when they encounter an ownerless spiritual weapon. It is said that only a very small number of volcanoes erupt from the ground and then condense. ”

Yun Xuan's eyes lit up when he heard Wu Ningshuang's explanation, and he had to find a way to get some out, but unfortunately now he only had one hand to use, he walked to the side, broke the black stone next to him, and didn't break it.

"It's hard. Yun Xuan said.

"Of course it's hard. This kind of iron and stone can be used as the main material of the Xuanpin weapon and the auxiliary material of the spiritual weapon, which can be broken by you condensing a few layers of veins. Wu Ningshuang said.

"However, Qingli should be able to get out of the way. Wu Ningshuang looked at Qingli with some longing.

Qing Li looked at the black iron stone in the mountain pass and said, "Don't break it around, didn't we encounter broken ones before?" Let's see if there are any broken ones on the road, if not, I'll get some down when I leave this stone mountain." ”

Yun Xuan had no choice but to give up.

Looking at the road stretching into the stone mountain, it was dark inside, even if there was moonlight, it was a little eerie.

Yun Xuan walked in front, no way, who made him a man, Wu Ningshuang and Qing Li in the back felt a little scared when they saw the stone road extending into the Black Stone Mountain, Yun Xuan had to volunteer to take the lead in front.

Qing Li walked behind and was responsible for guarding the rear.

Inside, I found that on both sides of the road were upright black stone walls, the stone walls were craggy, sometimes high and sometimes low, and there were no broken stones on the road.

Yun Xuan suddenly stopped as he walked, and Wu Ningshuang behind him collided.

"Why did you stop?" she asked.

"There's something lying on the side of the road ahead. Yun Xuan swallowed his saliva, he was a little afraid.

"What is it?" Wu Ningshuang looked sideways: "Ah-", she was startled and covered her mouth.

Yun Xuan didn't expect Wu Ningshuang to be scared at this time, but he couldn't see his usual appearance.

Qing Li walked to Yun Xuan's side, looked forward, and there was a humanoid skeleton lying on the side of the road, and said, "Go over and have a look." ”

Yun Xuan plucked up the courage to walk over, Qing Li and Wu Ningshuang walked behind, there was no way for them to always pass.

The skeleton had been dead for a long time, and the bones were a little black, and if it weren't for good eyesight, it would not be easy to find.

The bones were in tatters, their hands hung down to the ground, their upper body was leaning against the slanting stone wall, their two eye sockets were facing the sky, and there was a sword at their feet, which should have rested against the wall and then died.

"There are words on the stone wall over here. Wu Ningshuang pointed to the stone wall opposite the skeleton and said.
