"Next we'll pass through Cthulhu City. This is the border of the Red Sun and has always been heavily garrisoned. If Miss Meng wants to ask for help, this is the best place. ”

After leaving Wuyang City, Ling Yan increased her speed in the carriage a lot in order to avoid long nights and dreams. Fortunately, Shen Yan and Meng Fuyao were both young ladies in the past, the former had that experience, and the latter was determined, but no one had any complaints about it.

Meng Fuyao only dared to lift the curtain of the car window at this time to look out.

There are some differences between the scenery and the object in the north and the south, and these differences are not only reflected in the two scenes, but also in the architectural style and people's customs. Those who enter this place for the first time will inevitably be surprised and surprised.

Shen Yan looked at the passers-by coming and going on the avenue, with a strong curiosity in his eyes.

Wuyang City, where Meng Fuyao is located, is actually considered a northern boundary, but because in the early years, most of them were refugees from the south, and it has the characteristics of integrating the north, but it also retains the style of the south to a large extent. At this time, seeing such a scenery that belongs purely to the north, even if it is a little curious and surprised like Shen Yan, it is more anxious and melancholy.

Ling Yan's words brought her back to her senses, and she nodded slightly, "I see." Thank you Sister Shen Yan and Miss Ling all the way. In the future, if there is something I can help with, you two can just tell me. ”

Shen Yan couldn't help but pause when he heard this, and then chuckled: "Fuyao, you will be good from now on, and it will not be in vain that we bothered to bring you out of Wuyang City." ”

Ling Yan, who was sitting outside through the car door, also agreed.

When the carriage drove into Cthulhu, it was dusk that day.

Although Shen Yan once said that Meng Fuyao could go to the official to deal with it, but that was when he was in Wuyang City, and now that he is in Cthulhu City, it is not a wise choice to report to the official for such a thing. After all, the two places are separated by some distance, even if the government here accepts this matter, it will not be seen and will do its best to deal with it. Unless those people catch someone and make trouble in Cthulhu.

Meng Fuyao is also very clear about this. Sitting in the inn and listening to Shen Yan and the others ask about her next plans, she thought carefully for a while and replied, "I plan to settle in Cthulhu City for the time being. ”

"It's fine. Before Shen Yan could say anything, Ling Yan nodded first and said, "Although Cthulhu City is close to the border pass, because the imperial court has sent heavy troops to garrison here, the order is even clearer and stricter than in other places. As long as it doesn't touch the laws of the Red Sun, nothing will happen. The only thing I'm worried about is ...... A few days ago, I received a message that Bei Qingyu seemed to have the intention of preparing to attack Red Sun. ”

Hearing this, Shen Yan looked even more nervous than Meng Fuyao: "Then, in that case, wouldn't this place be the first to bear the brunt of the battle at that time?"

Ling Yan pursed her lips: "If it's just a war, you don't have to be so nervous. If there is a real war, the old, the young, the women and the children will be moved to a safe place. I'm afraid of ......" is not as simple as a war between two countries.

Thinking about the other piece of news she received, Ling Yan didn't say the next sentence at all. If that speculation is true, people who don't have the strength will not be safe anywhere.

Meng Fuyao and Shen Yan glanced at each other, and what Ling Yan didn't say in his intuition should be the most important thing. But they can't force her to say it when the other party obviously doesn't intend to say it, but because of this, they seem to be worried, and their hearts are even more difficult to settle.

Seeing this, Ling Yan said again: "No matter what, those things are still a bit far away in the end. There is also a ninth-floor altar in Cthulhu City, and if Miss Meng needs help, she can also bring my token to them. As she said this, she took out a small jade plaque from her bosom and handed it to Meng Fuyao, and at the same time told her how to go to the branch altar on the ninth floor.

She shouldn't have been so reckless in handing over her token to someone she hadn't known for a long time, but her intuition told her that keeping this person might be of great use later.

Shen Yan was only as worried about Meng Fuyao's next life as Ling Yan as he was, and he also took a silver ticket to send it out: "Fuyao, this is a little bit of my heart, if there is still a chance in the future, I will come back to see you." ”

It's just that Meng Fuyao, who ran out in a hurry, didn't bring much belongings, and there was no hypocrisy not to accept it at this time, but he was embarrassed to take it for nothing, and said with an astringent smile: "Sister Shen Yan, I will accept the silver ticket." The right is borrowed, and I will work hard to earn the money and pay it back to you. As for Miss Ling's token....... I can't take it. It's already good that you're willing to take me out of Wuyang City, and I don't dare to trouble you anymore. She knew that with what Ling Yan had given her, she would have more security in Cthulhu City, but there was no reason to take it.

was rejected by Meng Fuyao, and Ling Yan did not insist. It's just that the heart is calculating to let the people on the ninth floor pay more attention.

Shen Yan and Ling Yan didn't stay in Cthulhu City for long, but after seeing that Meng Fuyao had roughly settled down, they left and continued to walk towards Guguan Mountain.

It is clear that it has entered summer, but the closer you get to Guguan Mountain, the colder the temperature will be.

Shen Yan sat in the carriage, and was finally able to successfully set up an enchantment to isolate the cold air, and no longer had to rely on heavy cotton clothes to keep out the cold. It's just that it's not very useful. Ling Yan can also rely on her internal strength to make herself cold and heat not invade. On the way, she was wrapped heavily, and she couldn't stand it in the carriage with warm jade, but Ling Yan's thin clothes didn't affect the carriage outside.

Shen Yan thought so herself, but Ling Yan was still a little surprised by her progress: "I heard that if ordinary people want to step into the path of cultivation, it is best to start practicing since childhood. It's like practicing martial arts, no matter how good your talent is, if you are old, you won't have any advantage. It may be easier to have Master to guide you, but Miss Shen has only been studying on her own for a month, and it is good to be able to have such an achievement. ”

"But that's not enough...... Shen Yan lowered his eyebrows and looked at his palm, condensing all the aura that he could sense now attached to it, and he could see the light purple air flow dancing like a flame.

She remembered that on the last trip to Taixuan Mountain, Changsheng had told her that the color of the aura would reflect how well a person cultivated. The purer and richer it is, the stronger the person's strength. Her own, on the other hand, is pale and sparse in color. I'm afraid that if I put it in the cultivation world, it won't be enough for others to take a look.

However, it is always a good thing that there is an improvement.

In the time that followed, Shen Yan worked harder and harder, almost to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat. If it weren't for Ling Yan's persuasion, he might have really forgotten to eat and sleep.

It's just that the gains from such efforts are not big.

After another month, they finally arrived in a village outside their destination.

Ling Yan looked at the map, parked the carriage behind the courtyard of the family who was staying overnight, and said to Shen Yan with a frown: "I have been here before, but this is a snowy field and I have never seen a high mountain. I guessed that perhaps the cultivators had used their own means to hide the existence of Guguan Mountain. Miss Shen, it seems that I can only help you. I don't know if you can find Guguanshan?"

Shen Yan looked at the endless snowfield, and his face was also sad. At the beginning, she had only heard Changsheng talk about this place, and knew where it would be, but she didn't think about it, and when she arrived here, she found that there were no mountains here, only a large snowfield with occasional undulations.

When I asked the villagers in the village, they all said they didn't know. They have lived here for generations, and they have never seen any mountains here.

Ling Yan didn't wonder if Shen Yan was mistaken, she only guessed if someone had used some spell to cover up the existence of Guguan Mountain. But this has already involved the world of cultivators, she is a mortal, even if her martial arts are really good, she can be regarded as a first-class master, but she is only a little more powerful among mortals, and there is nothing she can do when she encounters such a thing.

finally arrived at the place, but still couldn't find what he was looking for, Shen Yan couldn't help but suddenly feel a little depressed.

But leaving like this seems to be a little unwilling.

Ling Yan was checking the situation everywhere, and Shen Yan's martial arts were not good, so he didn't follow him, but continued to study the Nirvana Heart Sutra, trying to find a place from it that could go to Guguan Mountain.

But at the end of the day, neither of them had gained much.

Until lying in bed after nightfall, Shen Yan was still thinking about Guguanshan. In the blur, it seemed to return to the boundless darkness.

She suddenly woke up with a spirit, and she knew that she couldn't see it, but she still subconsciously opened her eyes and looked around.

"Miss Xuanyue, you, are you still here?"

Shen Yan subconsciously shouted as he groped forward.

A voice suddenly came from the originally silent world, which frightened her whole body.

"Miss Shen Yan, are you here again?"

This time, just like the last time, I could only hear Xuan Yue's voice, and I couldn't see where she was.

Shen Yan exhaled, and was about to say something more when he heard Xuan Yue ask again: "The last time I asked the girl to tell the master, did the girl say everything?"

"I'm sorry. I've been on the ninth floor since I left this place last time, and I haven't found Bai Shangxian. This time, I originally planned to go to Guguan Mountain to see if Bai Shangxian was here, but after I arrived, I didn't even know where Guguan Mountain was......

Xuan Yue was silent for a moment when she heard this, and then said: "Guguan Mountain is a sacred mountain, standing in the sky and hidden in the clouds. Later, after the defeat of the demon clan, the goddess sank it into the world, isolating the continent on the other side and the extreme northern ice field. As the existence of the 'gate', the stakes are very high, and the master will definitely set up a formation to hide it. If you want to enter, I will give you a talisman that may be able to break through the hidden formation set by Master. ”

As she said this, Shen Yan saw that a golden light suddenly swam in front of her, and she formed a rune on its own, which turned into a golden light and sank into her eyebrows.

The runes in the air disappeared and appeared in his mind instead, and Shen Yan was quite surprised by this.

Xuan Yue said: "After you go out, you can draw this rune to the north with spiritual power." However, with your current spiritual power, you may not be able to last long, as long as you can see the appearance of your old aunt Guan Mountain, don't hesitate, just go in. Master will not set up a killing array, even if something goes wrong for a while, he will be trapped at most. The last page of the Nirvana Heart Sutra I have given you can be opened, and there are some explanations of the formations in it that can help you get out of the Master's trapped formation. ”

"Miss Shen Yan, don't forget what you promised me. ”

Xuan Yue's voice became more and more distant, and finally disappeared completely.

Shen Yanshang was still standing in place, and a feeling of intense sadness suddenly spread in his heart.

"Miss Xuanyue, are you still there?"
