Zhao Shan and his younger brother Zhao Qi were born in an ordinary family, even to the point of poverty, almost without food. My father died young, and my mother was the only one who brought up the brothers, and every day my mother barely ate a drop of food in order to feed the two brothers.

It didn't take long for the old mother to pass away, when Zhao Shan was nine years old and Zhao Qi was seven years old. Their lives took a turn for the worse after that, and the brothers lost their mother's protection, and the brothers' lives became even more difficult.

A year later, his younger brother Zhao Qi was unfortunately lost, and Zhao Shan searched for a long time, but he couldn't find it. Perhaps it was God's mercy that Zhao Shan was about to starve to death on the way to find his younger brother, when he met Bai Daohong, an elder of Xuanzhenmen.

Bai Daohong originally just wanted to find a miscellaneous person, but by chance he brought the ten-year-old Zhao Shan to the Xuanzhen Gate, and when the meridians were tested, he accidentally found that although Zhao Shan's talent was not at the genius level, it was also close behind.

At that time, when the cultivation exercises were exhausted and the cultivation world was at its most powerful, Zhao Shan also jumped from a miscellaneous disciple to a disciple of the inner court, plus he wanted to repay Bai Daohong for saving his life, so he could be said to have done his best, and secretly helped Bai Daohong do a lot of unsightly things.

As a result, he was supported by Bai Daohong, and when he became an adult, he entered the most elite White Courtyard of Xuanzhenmen.

Not long after this, when Zhao Shan was about twenty years old, he accidentally went down the mountain and met his lost brother Zhao Qi.

Zhao Shan didn't say how he was surprised, but Zhao Qi's personality at this moment has changed greatly, and his well-behaved appearance is completely different from when he was a child, Zhao Shan just guessed that his younger brother must have suffered a lot, so naturally he didn't dare to ask too much.

He took Zhao Qi to the Xuanzhen Sect and told Bai Daohong about it, but Bai Daohong didn't care about testing Zhao Qi's meridian talent. However, he was shocked to find that Zhao Qi was a rare cultivation wizard, and his meridian talent was extremely high, and he reached a height of three points in two seconds.

Naturally, Zhao Qi was valued by Xuanzhenmen, and Bai Daohong also found various reasons to take him under his command.

In just a few years, Zhao Qi has reached the cultivation of the Inner Breath Realm from an ordinary person, and the speed of cultivation is so fast that he was surprised by Bai Daohong, and it is logical for him to enter the White Courtyard.

Zhao Shan couldn't remember when his younger brother Zhao Qi didn't deal with him, he just thought that Zhao Qi still remembered that he didn't find him when he was a child, and he held a grudge in his heart.

But with the passage of time, the relationship between the brothers has become more delicate, and they have even become strangers who are only related by blood.

Because Zhao Qi did not obey Bai Daohong's orders, he angered the latter and cut off all his cultivation resources. After all, he is already a disciple of the White Academy, and it is impossible to abolish it casually, but he has become a nominal disciple of the White Academy.

On the contrary, Zhao Shan, who was obedient to Bai Daohong's words, obtained the cultivation resources that originally belonged to Zhao Qi, and with the meridian talent that was completely inferior to his younger brother, relying on these resources and efforts, he almost easily caught up with Zhao Qi's cultivation, and the two of them broke through the Najie realm on their front and back feet.

But no matter what, Zhao Shan still felt guilty about Zhao Qi in his heart, but Zhao Qi didn't appreciate it, and their relationship has been so deadlocked.

Although Zhao Shan's cultivation has reached the realm of acceptance, after all, the meridian talent is limited, and it will be difficult to make a big breakthrough in the future. He was very envious of real geniuses like his younger brother Zhao Qi and Su Ming.

However, he is not reconciled, why is he not talented enough, he has to stop on the path of cultivation, he wants to break the things that his ancestors have identified, break this kind of rule, and become a real master.

He stabilized his trembling body, determined his eyes, and slowly stood up from the ground, if he couldn't even overcome this little thing, how could he talk about being the first person.

Su Ming nodded at him and said, "Let's all act together, we can avoid danger as much as possible, and we will definitely be able to find an exit." ”

They converged with Su Yang and moved forward collectively, looking for the confusion in their hearts in this strange world.

The land is made up entirely of gray-brown soil and gravel, as if as far as the eye can see, and the large trees that the three of them hug block the view, standing not far apart.

In addition to these, there are occasional huge rocks that stand in the way of the roadside, and not a single weed on the ground is visible, let alone a small animal.

After walking past a boulder blocking the way, Jiang Xiaowan made a surprised voice and said, "Why are there two people lying behind here?!"

Going around to the back side of this boulder, you can clearly see the bloodstains on the ground, and there are two figures lying on the ground, looking at their dress, they are the disciples of Wanyou Mansion.

Su Ming hurriedly stepped forward to check, and said with a solemn face: "They are dead." ”

"Since someone from Wanyou Mansion died here, does it mean that Lin Heng and the others are also here?"

"That's right, but what killed them?" Su Ming's face became serious.

Zhao Shan stared at it for a moment and said, "Look at the wounds on their bodies, as if they have been bitten by something, is there any strange beast here?"

"Everybody be careful. Su Ming obviously had this conjecture.

Su Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, and quietly looked at the two dead Wanyou Mansion disciples, the wounds on their bodies were very small, some were two small holes, and some were two slender blood marks.

If his guess was correct, it must have been bitten by a snake-like beast.

"Great, the whereabouts of the red snake gall that Changhe investigated, could it really be here?" Although Su Yang was also a little incredulous, he would rather choose to believe it.

Liu Changhe's investigation is outside, it is impossible for him to enter the ancient tomb, if there is really a red snake gall here, it means that there must be other entrances to enter here, and naturally there are other exits.

This was just Su Yang's inference, although he decided that eight or nine were not far from ten, but he had no intention of telling anyone else about it.

Everyone stayed here for a moment, and then they continued on their way, everyone was preoccupied, no one spoke, the mystery in their hearts was heavier, and they were more eager to find the truth of all this.

"Bang. ”

Zhao Qi kicked out a piece of gravel under his feet with all his might, bringing up a cloud of smoke and dust. At that moment, there was a look of surprise in his eyes, and he noticed that something seemed to flash under the rubble that had been kicked out.

"There's writing!" his eyes widened as he crouched down and brushed the dust with his hands.

Suddenly, Su Ming and the others all gathered around and looked at the handwriting that was buried in the ground, which was clearly a stone stele.

"What's written on it?" Lu Yanran asked.

"It's not the font of our Northern Dynasty, it should be the Southern Dynasty. Su Ming looked at it for a moment, shook his head and said.

"Zhao Qi, can you understand what is written on it?" Su Yang still remembered that Zhao Qi had been to the Southern Dynasties, and immediately asked him.

Zhao Qi nodded and said, "This stele is broken, and I can't read the specific handwriting, but I can roughly guess a little." ”

Everyone gathered together, staring at the two vigorous ancient characters visible on the broken stone tablet, and they frowned, obviously illegible.
