Heyin County is the largest county on the northern border of Shen State, the area shown on the map is very large, it is an irregular rectangle of horizontal type, and the terrain in the west of the county is gradually higher, there is a snow dragon ridge that stretches for more than 10,000 miles at the junction of Jiangyang County and Yuanguo, the main peak is as high as more than 3,000 zhang, covered with ice and snow all the year round, it is called Tianxiao Ding.

If it was just the treacherous terrain and the cold climate, of course, it was not fearful for the monks, but the terrible thing was that there were reckless netherworld forests and black water swamps under the Snow Dragon Ridge, which had killed hundreds of thousands of ancient monks. As a result, many ghosts and murderous spirits were born, and every hundreds of years, murderous creatures were born as disasters, and the high-level monks of the Yuyang Sect had killed a lot.

And the teleportation array that Yang Shao needs to guard on this trip is in the Qinggang Gorge of Candledragon Ridge on the periphery of the Black Water Swamp, Qinggang Gorge is an unfathomable canyon about four or five miles wide between the two mountains, not to mention mortals, even monks dare not fly over easily.

Although Qinggang Gorge is a dangerous place, there are many elixirs in the Mengqiong Mountains more than 100 miles to the east, and there are also some first- and second-level low-level demon beasts, which attract a lot of scattered cultivators to come to collect and hunt, so over time, a Suishan town was gradually formed in a valley called Suishan.

The area to the west of the north is within the sphere of influence of the Yuyang Sect, and the sect has also opened an elixir material shop called Baicaotang in Suishan Town as a base, which is operated and managed by an outer gate steward of the ninth layer of the Qi Induction Period for a long time.

At dusk that day, Yang Shao and his entourage of four people flew thousands of miles and finally arrived outside Suishan Town, from a bird's-eye view from a high altitude, there is a high wall outside Suishan Town, the size is almost the same as that of an ordinary small county town, during which the streets are lined with shops, and there are many ordinary mortals living there.

After a little discussion, the four of them landed in a small forest to change their clothes and sect accessories, and walked into the town on foot in disguise as ordinary casual cultivators. Yang Shao followed behind a few people, looking at the pedestrians on the street and the shops on both sides from time to time, and occasionally saw some loose cultivators hurrying through the crowd.

After a short time, he arrived outside the Baicao Hall, Yu Lanzhu went into the store to negotiate with the sect manager, and Jin Mingyao followed the store, looking around at the items on the shelves. Pu Hong saw that there was a vendor selling low-level talismans and some demon beast materials at the corner of the street diagonally, and he also walked over curiously.

Yang Shao's gaze also shifted, thinking that there were only more than a thousand spirit stones left on his body, and he didn't want to look at it more, and the moment he turned his head, he suddenly felt something, as if someone was staring at him, so he moved his gaze to the three-story building behind the stall, and a familiar face appeared behind a half-open window, just when he saw the other party, the other party snapped the window shut in shock, and the black-faced bearded face was obscured at once.

How do you always meet this black-faced and bearded strong man wherever you go? Jiangyang City! Qiaoshan Tianjing Valley! Yuhua Temple! Zhoukou City, Pingxiang County, is still with his senior brother Zhou Xian! What is the origin of this person? It is actually becoming more and more mysterious, why is it just diagonally opposite Baicaotang now, is it surveillance or ......

With full of questions, Yang Shao walked to the three-story building diagonally opposite and looked up, there was a plaque hanging on the door of the "All Grocery Store", and couldn't help but laugh dumbly. I walked into the store, the lobby was a little deserted, and the shopkeeper was packing up the books, as if it was ready to close.

When an ordinary young shopkeeper saw a customer coming, he had to step forward and greet him, "What does ......the guest want to buy?"

"Oh...... I want to go up to the second floor to have a look!" Yang Shao replied casually, shook off the shopkeeper, strode up the stairs and went straight to the second floor, and when he got to the room he saw outside just now, he found that the door was empty, and when he pushed the door open, it was empty.

"What are you doing here, this guest officer, how can you trespass like this?" the shopkeeper asked with a cold face and a very angry look.

Yang Shao took out a low-grade spirit stone and threw it over, and asked with a stern expression: "Let me ask you, how many people were in this room just now, what did they look like, where did they come from, and how long did they come?"

The shopkeeper looked confused, looked at the lower grade spirit stone in his hand, this can be exchanged for a hundred inferior products, thought about it and replied: "Don't hide it from the guest officer, in the past half a month, there are some strange guests who often come to our store, often two people come together, and when they come, they have to stay in this room all day." As for the two of them, they seemed to be husband and wife, the man was short and stocky, with a black face and a big beard, and the woman was about 20 years old, wearing a hood and no face to see. ”

At this time, Yang Shao can be completely sure that the black-faced and bearded strong man and wife are from Tanglin County, and they are said to be the six friends of Kunshan, I am afraid that it is more than that, because they seem to have more companions. Yang Shao then asked the shop guy about the appearance of the black-bearded companion, and then left the grocery store and turned back to Baicaotang.

The guy from the Baicaotang store was obviously instructed to wait in front of the door, and when he saw Yang Shao coming, he took him to a small building in the backyard to retire by himself. Yang Shao walked upstairs slowly, and went down the corridor to a hall inside, and saw that Jin Mingyao, Yu Lanzhu and Pu Hong were all there, and there was an old man in his fifties and sixties who seemed to be shrewd and capable.

Seeing Yang Shao come in, several people nodded their heads, and Pu Hong introduced Yang Shao, this old man is the shopkeeper of Baicaotang, named Zhong Libi, who has been stationed here for some years.

Zhong Libi was also about to explain the situation to a few people, and when he saw that everyone had arrived, he spoke: "In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the number of scattered cultivators coming and going to Suishan Town, and the demon beasts in the Mengqiong Mountains east of Qinggang Gorge are almost extinct, and the elixir is even more difficult to find. The black water swamp west of Qinggang Gorge is still the same, and few people dare to break in. And the teleportation array of the sect in the cliff cave in the Qinggang Gorge was inspected once a month ago, and it was found that it had been destroyed, and the two sect disciples had also lost their traces. ”

Yu Lanzhu replied: "According to the news sent back by Zhongli before the steward, the sect attaches great importance to this, and deliberately refines a corner according to the damage shown on the teleportation array drawing, and it should be able to be restored tomorrow when we set off to reset it, as for the missing disciples, we will slowly investigate it in the next half a year." ”

"That's good! Although the old man has no time to clone himself, staying in Suishan Town can help you find out some news about foreign cultivation, and if there is anything, you can also inform the sect at any time. There is also a detailed map of Mengqiong Mountain here, one for each of you, and it is convenient to enter the mountain tomorrow!" Zhong Libi took out four maps and distributed them to a few people, and then retired, asking the shop guys to arrange the rooms where everyone stayed downstairs.

That night, the four of them stayed in the backyard of the Baicaotang Pharmacy, and left Suishan Town early the next morning, and the imperial weapon flew into a steep mountain cliff called the eagle's beak in the Mengqiong Mountains and landed, which was where the entrance to the Qinggangxia Cave Teleportation Array was located.

Yu Lanzhu led the way in front, found a towering pen steep stone wall in front of the sky, looked up at the stone wall more than 30 zhang high in the air, and gave birth to a ginkgo tree as big as a giant umbrella, and turned to a cautious look, sacrificed a golden crested hairpin, the imperial weapon rose in the air and stood in the top of the ginkgo tree, holding a special talisman that seemed to be thrown out, and the red light of the talisman flew to the stone wall and disappeared.

Then the stone wall lit up with a series of glittering runes, and there was a rumbling sound, and an arched stone door appeared and opened on its own. Suddenly, there was a strange sound in the cave, and a black cloud surged out, but it was countless first-class demon beasts with golden stripes of black bats flying out of the cave, seeing that the sunlight outside was dazzling, lingering in the air at the entrance of the cave.

"Okay! This stone gate ban has not been destroyed, come up! These demon beasts are really boring, let's kill them together!"

Yu Lanzhu shouted, and casually released more than a dozen silver needles more than three inches long to shoot at those black bats, and saw the silver light flying in the air, the golden-veined black bats croaked and let out a piercing scream, and blood splashed and fell from the sky.

Jin Mingyao ignored the first-level demon beasts in the air, and took the Imperial Wind Boat into the air and entered the cave, followed by the hissing sound of golden-veined bats inside. Pu Hong also sacrificed a mid-grade wind wheel with a blue light to rise to the top of the ginkgo treetops, and released six Qingmengmeng halberds to cut down the golden-veined bats.

Yang Shao had already seen the three of them riding the imperial medium-grade flying magic weapon, and still took out the lower-grade golden wolf shuttle unhurriedly, and took a look at it from a distance, and saw that the entrance of the cave was a deep cave, and the golden-veined black bats inside were still flying out.

Although these first-level demon beasts are only equivalent to five or six layers of the qi induction period, they will only fly close and hiss and shock people's eardrums, but there are too many of them, and Yu Lanzhu and Pu Hong are a little in a hurry. Yang Shao immediately released a fire spirit shield to protect himself, and to a certain extent, isolated the screaming sound emitted by the golden-veined black bat, secretly clasped five fireball talismans in his left hand, and sacrificed a flame knife in his right hand to join the attack.

As the golden-veined black bats flying out of the cave ** decreased, and when the three of them were almost cut off outside, a terrifying sharp hiss suddenly came from the cave. As soon as the three people in the air who were struggling to kill the golden-veined black bat heard this sound, the imperial weapons shook in the air, covered their ears one after another, and almost fell to the ground.

Jin Mingyao suddenly screamed, and his feet flew out of the cave **, his robe was broken in many places at this time, and his cloak was not embarrassed, and he exclaimed: "Run! There are two second-level golden-veined bat kings, and the scream is unbearable!"
