Chapter 16: Return to the Forbidden Land
Ji Xiaofan's heart tightened, and secretly said that this matter could not be known to Cheng Jianshan, nor could he be suspicious, and hurriedly said: "Senior, I was sleeping in the room, and I heard movement in the window in a daze, and as soon as I got up, I heard your voice, and then saw you fighting with that person, I was also very confused, what was this man in black doing in my room? If you steal something, then they will pay the wrong attention, hehe, the dozens of silver coins on my body are hidden, and no one can find ...... except me."
Cheng Jianshan snorted, I don't know if he believed Ji Xiaofan's words, seeing that the lights in the restaurant were on, the shopkeeper and many residents came out to watch, waved his hand, and motioned for Xiaofan to go back to the room.
The people saw nothing, and went back to their rooms to rest.
Early the next morning, a group of people came to the door of the "Drunken Bafang Restaurant", these people were old and young, men and women, all waiting quietly in the lobby on the first floor, Yun Fan and Yun Yi were in the ranks.
After Xiao Fan got up, he finished washing, came to Cheng Jianshan's room, waited for Cheng Jianshan to wash, and then the two came to the front yard together to prepare breakfast.
As soon as the two of them walked to the lobby on the first floor, a group of people hula came around, and an old man with gray eyebrows but strong spirits shouted in a joyful voice: "Welcome to the seniors of the upper sect, the junior Meng Tianlan led the disciples of the sect to respectfully invite the seniors to move to Yunmeng Mountain, and return to the Yunjian Sect to sweep the couch to welcome!"
It turned out to be Meng Tianlan, the head of the Guiyun Sword Sect, and Yun Fan was standing behind him.
The two sides got to know each other under the recommendation of Yunfan, and after some greetings, Meng Tianlan warmly invited.
Cheng Jianshan fought with the people of Baihua Palace yesterday and had a recurrence of old injuries, and was trying to find a stable place to recuperate, and now the people of Guiyun Sword Sect came to invite, so the two of them went to Yunmeng Mountain, the sect of Guiyun Sword Sect.
Yunmeng Mountain is located in the southwest direction of Evian City, the mountain is continuous for hundreds of miles, the main peak is like a sharp sword straight into the sky, the mountain is ten thousand miles high, the strange peak cliff, steep and strange, it is one of the three wonders of Evian City.
There is a layer of clouds and mist tens of zhang thick around the main peak all the year round at the halfway of Yunmeng Mountain, under the sunlight, it flickers brightly and darkly, and there are many white cranes and birds flying between the clouds and mist, and it looks like a fairyland from afar.
The Guiyun Sword Sect is not big, there are two thousand disciples in the whole sect, most of the people are usually distributed in the peaks of Yunmeng Mountain, and the main hall of the sect is located at the top of the main peak, looking up at the heaven and earth, watching the wonders of clouds and mist, but it also has the feeling of a hermit sect in the Immortal Mountain outside the world.
The contemporary sect master Meng Tianlan led the elder hall in the sect to live on the main peak "Tianjian Peak", after Chengjian Mountain and Ji Xiaofan went up the mountain, Meng Tianlan led everyone to visit around first, and then held a feast, Chengjian Mountain was regarded as a guest by the stars like a moon, and the banquet lasted for three days.
In three days, everyone paid all their attention to Cheng Jianshan, and Ji Xiaofan was able to settle down.
During the period, Lei Jia came to ask for advice, and the two had a discussion, Xiao Fan was embarrassed to crush Lei Jia, and in the end, the two of them won and lost, and they were tied, and they did not lose face.
Because Cheng Jianshan was injured for the second time, he planned to recuperate on the mountain for a period of time, so he told Xiao Fan to leave in half a month, and let Xiao Fan arrange it himself during this period on the mountain, as long as he didn't cause trouble.
stayed for three or five days, in addition to cultivation, he was invited to eat and drink, which made Ji Xiaofan very tired.
"Girl, I've been here for a few days, and I don't know what it's like inside Yunmeng Mountain, I have to find a chance to take a look. ”
In the afternoon of this day, Xiao Fan saw that no one cared about him, so he walked alone to the mountainside of the main peak, sat on the stone on the side of the mountain and watched a cloud landscape, and then walked along the stone mountain road towards the back mountain.
The mountains are quiet, the evergreen forests are verdant in all seasons, the unknown trees cover the sky and the sun, and there are occasional hares and birds, and the sound of white cranes.
Ji Xiaofan couldn't help but sigh, this place is like a paradise, it is really an excellent place for Qing cultivation, but it is a pity that he does not belong here, and he cannot cultivate here for a long time.
After more than an hour, Ji Xiaofan didn't know how far he had walked, he had gone deep into the back mountain woodland, and the road in front of him was no longer a stone road, but a rugged gravel mountain road.
Turning a small hillside, there is a stone monument erected on the side of the road in front of it, and the stele reads "Return to the cloud forbidden land, no entry" eight big characters.
Return to the forbidden land?
Ji Xiaofan looked at the stone tablet and muttered in his heart, the forbidden place must not allow people to enter at will, I don't know what ulterior secrets are hidden in this Yunmeng Mountain, and I don't even let people in!"
However, apart from the stone monument, there are no personnel guarding this place, and there is no fence facility, only one stone monument.
Ji Xiaofan looked around, left and right, and there was no one, his eyes rolled, and the child's heart came up with naughty thoughts, since it is forbidden to enter, I want to go in and have a look.
Cautiously walked inside for more than a dozen steps, Ji Xiaofan didn't notice anything wrong or abnormal, he felt a little relieved, and then continued to walk inside.
About a hundred paces ahead, an open field appeared.
The site is full of three hundred zhang square circle, the weeds in it are overgrown, the ground is pitted, there are nine dilapidated stone pillars with a thickness of three feet and a height of nine feet around are still standing there crookedly, the surface of each pillar is carved with twisting and winding lines, and then inside are four stone beast statues of different shapes and incomplete standing in four directions, southeast, northwest and northwest, the four stone beast statues are of different sizes, and they are very broken, they are crawling with vines, Ji Xiaofan doesn't know them when he looks at them.
In the middle of the site is a three-zhang square stone platform, the platform has three layers, a total of about nine feet high, there is a half section of the stone tablet in the center of the platform, the upper half is gone, the surface of the stone tablet is also mottled moss and dust, occasionally revealing the strange lines on the stone tablet.
Ji Xiaofan walked around the venue, touched the stone pillar, looked at the beast statue, and finally walked onto the platform, ripped off the vines on the stone tablet and blew the dust on the stone tablet.
There seems to be text on the surface of the stele in addition to the pattern, but because of the age, it is no longer possible to distinguish what handwriting.
Ji Xiaofan looked around the entire square and groaned for a while, faintly feeling that this place must have been an extraordinary place, but now it has been abandoned and forgotten by the Guiyun Sword Sect, and after returning to the front mountain, he must find an opportunity to ask Lei Jia what the origin of this place is.
Ji Xiaofan was about to step down the steps from the platform, when suddenly, the wind rose from the flat ground in the square, the light flickered in all directions, and it dimmed in the blink of an eye, and the entire square was like a cloud, and Ji Xiaofan couldn't see anything from five feet away.
It's broken! I stepped on the mechanism, and there was a formation in this place.
Ji Xiaofan fell into a dimness, and suddenly remembered some of what his father had said, and understood that he had inadvertently triggered the formation here
With a sigh, a half-human-tall black shadow suddenly flew out of the half-stone statue with an icy intent, and rushed towards Xiao Fan.
Ji Xiaofan's hair suddenly stood on end, and he hurriedly went all out to run his cultivation to resist the black shadow, but who knows, the black shadow rushed to Xiao Fan's side, passed through Xiao Fan's arms, passed through Xiao Fan's body, and entered Ji Xiaofan's body without hindrance.
Ji Xiaofan let out an "ah", and before he had time to respond, he had already found that his body couldn't move, and only his two eyes could still move.
"It's broken, grandma's legs, it's hit an evil spirit, something has frozen me, what is it, why did it get into my body, will it eat me? The people of the Guiyun Sword Sect don't know that I'm here, there must be no one to save me, what if I die here? My father hasn't been found yet, my biological father and mother don't know who it is, and I haven't found a daughter-in-law in the next life, if I die here, I really died unjustly!"
Ji Xiaofan, who was determined to move, had a lot of thoughts for a while, and he didn't know what to do.
The black shadow passed through Ji Xiaofan's flesh and blood without hindrance and entered his body, stopping at the dantian position.
"Hahaha, good, good, after so many years, I finally met a host with vigorous blood, Lao Tzu's divine soul is fully repaired and recreated in the spirit body, hahaha!"
Although Ji Xiaofan couldn't move, he could hear the black shadow's words clearly.
Restore the soul?
This black shadow is a wounded spirit, is this to repair and heal in my body?
Treat me as a host? I don't know what kind of damage will it do to me? Won't it kill me?
Ji Xiaofan was terrified in his heart, and he didn't know what to do.
