This is the third day that Ning Xiaotang and the others have entered Andong Mansion.

However, due to the vast and sparsely populated area of Andong Prefecture, they were still seven days away from the destination of this trip.

According to Gongsun Liuyun's latest calculations, the fragment of the Blood Demon Knife is located in the extreme north of Andong Mansion.

That place, most likely, is beyond the boundaries of Andong Prefecture.

Ning Xiaotang's four people walked quickly on the official road.

When they reached a grassland, the four of them stopped for a moment.

They all turned their heads and looked to the east.

On the horizon, there is a majestic mountain peak, standing between heaven and earth.

The peak is about a thousand feet high and magnificent.

It's just that the mountain looks a little strange.

Because on that mountain, the whole thing is bare, without a trace of woods, giving people a sense of lifelessness.

That mountain is very famous in Andong Province.

Its name is Anode Mountain.

One of the three famous Pure Yang Sects was established at the foot of Yangji Mountain.

Gongsun Liuyun looked at the direction of the horizon in the distance and said, "Senior, that mountain is called Yangji Mountain, and at the foot of the mountain is where the Pure Yang Sect is located. Ten years ago, when my grandson's family visited the Pure Yang Sect, I had the privilege of coming once. ”

Ning Xiaotang nodded slightly, his eyesight was excellent.

At the foot of the Anode Mountain, there is indeed a continuous building built.

Mrs. Xu, who was on the side, spoke: "I have heard that the Pure Yang Sect was established under a volcano. Could it be that the Anode Mountain is the rumored volcano?"

Gongsun Liuyun said: "Exactly, that anode mountain is a volcano. ”

Shen Ning'er looked at the bare mountain peaks in the distance, and suddenly said: "No wonder that mountain doesn't have a single tree and looks lifeless, it turns out to be a volcano." ”

Immediately afterward, she seemed to think of something, and asked puzzledly, "The Pure Yang Sect built the mountain gate under that volcano, aren't they afraid of being swallowed up by the lava spewed out by the volcano?"

Gongsun Liuyun explained: "I once asked the elders of the clan this question, and according to them, this volcano has not erupted for thousands of years. Come to think of it, the Pure Yang Sect had already considered it when it chose the site. Perhaps it was because he sensed that the volcano would not erupt again, so he built the sect under this mountain. ”

Shen Ning'er shook her head and said, "As the saying goes, a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, what if the volcano erupts again?"

She still didn't quite understand the approach of the Pure Yang Sect, Andong Mansion had a vast territory, why did she choose such a dangerous place?

"This ......"

Gongsun Liuyun was speechless for a while, and seemed to be asked.

At this time, Ning Xiaotang spoke: "It should be related to the exercises of the Pure Yang Sect. ”

Hearing this answer, Shen Ning'er, Gongsun Liuyun and Mrs. Xu immediately looked at Ning Xiaotang.

Although Ning Xiaotang had never been to the Pure Yang Sect, he still had a rough understanding of the martial arts of the major sects of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Ning Xiaotang said: "The martial arts of the Zhen Sect of the Pure Yang Sect is called Pure Yang Gong. In addition, there are two other sets of martial arts, which are also good. One is called the Zhiyang Sword Technique, and the other is called the Flame Palm. ”

"These three exercises, just listening to their names, you must be able to hear them, they are all the most masculine and rigid martial arts. ”

"If my guess is correct, cultivating those three exercises in some special places should have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort. Therefore, the Pure Yang Sect will take the risk of establishing the sect here. ”

Hearing this, Shen Ning'er and the three of them all looked stunned.

It turned out that the Pure Yang Sect built the sect here in order to practice with the help of external forces.

It may sound strange, but it's really possible to think about it.

In fact, as for the reason why the Pure Yang Sect established the sect at the foot of the volcano, the big figures of the top martial arts sects have all had similar speculations.

However, the Pure Yang Sect had never responded positively to this question.

And the children of the Pure Yang Sect also seem to have been given a gag order and never answer similar questions.

In addition, there are several martial arts of the Pure Yang Sect, and only the core disciples and the elders of the sect are qualified to practice.

In this way, people outside could not understand the real reason from the mouth of the Pure Yang Sect at all, and could only speculate wildly.

Of course, the most important thing is this secret, and it does not involve the interests of other martial arts sects.

For other martial arts sects, they are just curious at most, and no one will really get to the bottom of this reason.

After looking at it for a while, the four of Ning Xiaotang all withdrew their gazes.

Ning Xiaotang said, "Let's continue on our way. ”

Immediately, the four of them got on their horses.

As far as Ning Xiaotang was concerned, he wanted to go to the Pure Yang Sect to take a look.

After all, as one of the three sects, he was still a little curious.

In particular, Ning Xiaotang's sixth sense told him.

The reason why this Pure Yang Sect established the sect here should not only be for the sake of the exercises, there must be other secrets in it.

However, there were still important things to deal with in front of him, and Ning Xiaotang could only leave this curiosity behind.

"Let's go!"

Suddenly, the four horsemen were like the wind, along the official road, and rushed towards the north.

After two more days, the official road had already disappeared completely.

In addition to the green grassland, there is a sea of undulating forests in the distance.

However, to the surprise of the four people, the further north they went, the more people they encountered seemed to be.

Every once in a while, they would come across a caravanserais.

These business travelers were escorted by martial arts people, and when they saw the four people of Ning Xiaotang passing by, they were extremely vigilant.

Moreover, what made Ning Xiaotang's four people feel strange was that some of the martial arts people who escorted them were very profound.

Along the way, Ning Xiaotang even discovered six or seven masters in the late stage of the Tongmai Realm, and the eight veins of the Qi Jing opened up the five veins.

In the martial arts, many of such masters are elders in the sect, and they can even be the heads of small sects.

It is a little strange to think that such a master is escorting a business traveler.

And it's not just a team of business travelers, at least half of the business travelers have such masters.

When the four of Ning Xiaotang passed by a caravan again.

Mrs. Xu finally couldn't help but say, "It's strange, why did the masters in the late stage of the Tongmai Realm come to escort the business travelers?"

Gongsun Liuyun said: "It's a little strange, and look at the direction of those business trips, they should go in the same direction." It seems to be on the same path as us. ”

Although the four of them felt a little strange in their hearts, the four of them did not stop and continued to walk quickly forward.

After walking like this for a long time, the four of them came to a stream.

At this time, twilight is approaching.

The afterglow of the setting sun slowly sprinkled on the horizon, reflecting a beautiful scene.

Ning Xiaotang and the four of them stopped.

Ning Xiaotang said: "Liuyun, do you know where it is ahead?"

Gongsun Liuyun showed a wry smile and said, "Senior, if my guess is correct, we are almost out of the realm of Andong Mansion. Further afield, I don't know where it is. ”

Ning Xiaotang said: "In this way, the front is no longer in the territory of my Great Jin Dynasty. ”

Gongsun Liuyun said: "It should be." ”

Not long after, a caravan also stopped by the stream not far away.

They removed the camp from the wagon.

It seems that he intends to camp here tonight.
