Chapter 25: The Edge of the Cliff and the Great Hall

The heavy rain overnight made the woods, which were often foggy, like a beauty in the Western Regions, covering their faces with a light veil, and they couldn't see their feet more and more clearly.

A drizzle fell, and a few footsteps on the mud sounded, walking towards the mist-shrouded wooden house.

The door of the wooden house was gently pushed open with a "babbling", and the figure holding the paper umbrella who stood at the door and leaned in could not hide the disappointed expression on his face, took a step back to bring the wooden door, and shook his head at the two companions behind him.

"How is it possible, Brother Chang Xi is not in the house, so where can he go?" Under the pink paper umbrella, Xin Tong couldn't help but worry about his voice.

Zhang Yuan raised his head and looked at Wen Yu, who was standing in front of the door with half of his shoulder wet from the rain dripping from the eaves. Sighing, he walked over and used half of the paper umbrella to help him block it, and said in a deep voice: "Wen Yu, what should I do." Aside from this cliff, where else can we find Brother Chang?"

Unconsciously, among the four people, Chang Xi seemed to have become the backbone of the existence, and Wen Yu couldn't help but admit it. Whether it is the indomitable back of the sword on the martial arts stage that day, or the confidence and calmness like a dragon returning to the sea at the foot of Tianxiu Peak, Wen Yu, who was born in a powerful family, thinks that he is inferior. Now that Chang Xi is only absent for a day, a few people around him are as impatient as ants in a hot pot. If Chang Xi were in such a situation, what would he do? Wen Yu couldn't help but ponder.

"We are still young after all, and we are always smooth, not as experienced by the wind and rain as Brother Chang. ”

Wen Yu smiled bitterly and looked at Zhang Yuan and Xin Tong beside him, and said something that made the two of them confused.

Between the words, Wen Yu inadvertently swept over the muddy mud not far in front of the wooden house, and suddenly the whole person was like a lightning strike. In the incomprehensible gazes of Zhang Yuan and Xin Tong, Wen Yu hurriedly held up the paper umbrella, trotted all the way over despite the mud splashed all over the ground, and squatted on the ground, his eyes were extremely solemn.

"Wen Yu, what's the matter, what did you see?"

"Brother Wen Yu, slow down, wait for us. ”

The two of them were also shocked when they saw Wen Yu in a hurry, and ran over, and saw Wen Yu squatting in front of a small dirt pit, his face was solemn and speechless for a long time.

"Isn't it just a small dirt pit? Wen Yu, you're making too much of a fuss. I thought you had found a clue about Brother Chang. Zhang Yuan didn't see any mystery after watching it for a long time, so he couldn't help but smile.

"Look ahead for yourself. Wen Yu didn't look up, and there was an indescribable heaviness in his tone.

Zhang Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and looked ahead, but saw another dirt pit a few zhang away not far away, but that dirt pit was obviously deeper than this one.

"Is this...?" This time, Zhang Yuan also felt that things were a little strange. These two pits don't look like they've been formed naturally, but rather like they've been formed by some kind of violent stamping. The rain filled the pit, reflecting Zhang Yuan's slightly depressed face.

Wen Yu suddenly got up, held up the paper umbrella, and strode forward, as if he had discovered something. Behind him, Xin Tong and Zhang Yuan also followed closely.

Pushing away the dense fog, when Wen Yu saw the earth pit that appeared in front of him again, which was even bigger than the previous two, his already solemn face suddenly became gloomy as water.

"Do you remember Brother Chang's incomparably swift figure?" Wen Yu, who was standing in the rain with an umbrella, said in a very heavy voice.

"Remember, very fast, how... What's wrong?" Xin Tong, who was standing behind Wen Yu, suddenly felt that the cold wind blowing on his body had seeped into his bones, and it was very cold.

"Keep going. Wen Yu gritted his teeth and said.

Sure enough, about ten zhang further ahead, I saw a pit full of rainwater, which was several times larger than the previous one. Strangely, the area around the pit seemed to be caused by some sudden eruption, and a fan-shaped accumulation of soil was radiating around it.

At this time, not only Wen Yu, but even the most sluggish Xin Tong faintly guessed something. The red lips bit tightly, for fear that if I said it out loud, it would really come true.

The three of them continued to walk forward. Because the dense fog did not disperse for a long time, Zhang Yuan, who was jumping at the front with a very poor vision, was almost caught by Wen Yu when he approached the edge of the cliff, and pulled back dangerously. Fortunately, Zhang Yuan seemed to be born with a lack of heart, and after being afraid for a while, he regained his spirit after muttering a few words in his mouth, "If you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing in the future".

"The distance between the four pits is one zhang, three zhang, five zhang, and ten zhang. From the fourth pit to the edge of the cliff, it is only more than 16 zhang. According to the increasing magnitude between each pit, the position of this fifth pit is either 15 zhang or 20 zhang. But you also see that there is no pit at the fifteenth square, then..."

Wen Yu's voice gradually lowered, and he didn't dare to speak.

"Wen Yu, we came to this cliff when we visited Brother Chang before. At that time, I looked down, and it was definitely more than 200 feet! If I fell down at such a height, then... That's a dead end!Brother Chang is so strong, how could he fall down?!" Zhang Yuan was suddenly frightened, and even the paper umbrella in his hand was abandoned, shaking Wen Yu's shoulders with both hands.

A gust of wind blew under the cliff, blowing the paper umbrella that Zhang Yuan threw on the ground into the sky. For some reason, when Xin Tong saw this scene, a deep chill surged uncontrollably in her heart, and she took a step back in shock.

"Xin Tong, is the piece of messenger jade that you exchanged for your contribution points yesterday?"

Wen Yu, who was shaken by Zhang Yuan's shoulders, turned his head and looked at Xin Tong.

Xin Tong nodded cowardly.

"I sent a letter to Jiao Xi and asked him to come over, and he said that Brother Chang was in trouble. ”

"But... But..."Xin Tong was scared in her heart, and she couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time at the moment.

"I'll let you post it now!

The green tendons on Wen Yu's forehead appeared, and he roared as warm as jade, which temporarily overshadowed the sound of rain.

......

In the simple and magnificent hall, the light gauze curtain tent runs through it, and several slender and elegant wooden smoke cages in the corner are full of green smoke, and the dark fragrance is faint. Located in the center of the main hall, on the gilt and jade-inlaid Luanfeng couch, there was a figure of a woman in white who was reclining, looking at a man in green clothes who was bent down under the bed, and her red lips were lightly opened as if she was saying something.

"Master, did you say that someone sneaked into the depths of the mountain behind Tianxiu Peak last night?" The man in Tsing Yi raised his head in horror when he heard this, who was it not Qingfeng.

The woman in white bowed her head slightly and said, "Yesterday night, a very unfamiliar sword roar came from the direction of the Qinglong Waterfall in the depths of the back mountain. Tell me to go down, and let the disciples under Tianxiu Peak be honest in the near future and not enter the back mountain again. As soon as the words fell, Qingfeng, who was standing under the bed, made a statement. The woman in white seemed to have thought of something, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and her crisp voice like a pearl falling on a jade plate quietly lowered, leaving only bursts of soft whispers that could still be heard.

"Qinglong Pond under Qinglong Waterfall... Could it be that the one in the pool made a commotion? If not, there are very few people in the Jindan realm in Qingyun Mountain who can go deep into the Qinglong Pond. If it were a junior brother above the Yuanying Realm, the senior brother would not enter my Tianxiu Peak area without saying hello to me, and besides, the sharp sword sound does not sound like the swordsmanship of my Qingyun Mountain..." When the senior brother in charge threw the hot potato of Tianxiu Peak to her when he shook his hand, he didn't want to open one eye and close one eye, old lady? Thousands of mouths on and below the peak are waiting for her to feed her with a lot of resources, how can you have so much spare time to worry about the one under the Qinglong Pond or the strange sword sound? This kind of thing should be reported and let the senior brothers have a headache!

Qingfeng, who was standing a few feet away from Luanfeng's couch, was apprehensive in his heart.

Why did Shizun suddenly frown and talk to himself? Someone sneaked into the depths of the mountain behind Tianxiu Peak? Could it be that some senior brother from the Jindan Realm on the peak sneaked into the depths of the back mountain in the middle of the night to collect herbs and alarmed some demon beast to make a moth, and he accidentally left some handle that was discovered by Shizun?

The back mountain area under each peak of Qingyun Mountain is extremely vast, and of course there is no shortage of powerful demon beasts inhabiting it. Aside from the low-grade demon beasts, none of the demon beasts above the Jindan realm are not enlightened, and each of them is the same as a monkey. They also knew that they had an unprovoked Qingyun Mountain on their heads, and they also turned a blind eye to the Qingyun Mountain disciples who went into the mountain to collect medicine. But if they touched their scales, they wouldn't mind tearing up the dead Terran boys on the spot. The deeper you go, the more powerful the dormant demon beasts become, and the more strange their temperaments become. Qingyun Mountain also did not clear these powerful demon beasts. First, although these demon beasts do not listen to the call, they do have some role as a caretaker. It is with these powerful demon beasts in the depths of the back mountain that those precious medicinal materials can be preserved. Second, in the peaceful land of Huizhou, these powerful demon beasts can also be used as whetstones for the disciples of each peak to sharpen themselves. You can't send an excellent disciple to the war-torn northern frontier without saying a word, even Qingyun Mountain will definitely not be able to withstand such a terrifying attrition.

Just as Qing Feng was suffering from the gains and losses of the senior brothers and brothers on his own peak, the storage bag on his waist flashed a rapid red light at this time. The woman on the couch also turned her head to look, and Qingfeng didn't care about the master's gaze, and wiped the storage bag with her left hand, but what flashed in her hand was a jade slip with a red light flashing at the top.

"Messenger Jade Jane?This flickering red light should be the spiritual power transmission function that the Artifact Peak has been vigorously implementing in recent days, right? This red light is also really terrifying, can't you change it to a softer light?"

Qing Feng's wisp of spiritual power probed into it, and his face changed drastically!
