Heizhou, which belongs to the small Jiuzhou Zhongzhou under the jurisdiction of Hongzhou, is located in the northwest corner. The aura is thin, bitter and cold, and uninhabitable. There is a mountain range in its territory, which is black soil for hundreds of miles deep underground, so it is named the Black Prison Mountain Range, like a half-pan evil dragon, lying in the north. The spurs of the mountain range cover about two-thirds of the Kuroshu region.

Heicheng is the only city in Heizhou, built close to the two major branches of the Black Hell Mountain Range, with a radius of only two hundred miles. To the north of the city is the endless Black Hell Mountain, and there are no roads to speak of. Birds and monsters can be seen at any time, and the poisonous and bloodthirsty flowers and trees are invincible. What's more important is that there is a kind of crane red sand produced in the Black Hell Mountain Range, and the color is black and eight-grade spiritual material, which is extremely precious. However, the red color is extremely poisonous, even if a Jindan Realm monk touches one grain, he will die immediately. Therefore, all the monks who can come here are flying in the sky.

In the middle of July, the sun was shining, the earth was hot, and the black mist was ethereal. The Black Hell Mountains are quite a bit of a "fairyland". Countless swords shuttled between the broken ravines of various mountain ranges, sometimes disappearing into the black mist, bringing some vitality to this dead mountain range that no one cared about.

On the arduous path of cultivating the truth, what can make so many monks rush to it must be benefits. Since the two sects of Maha Chengming were attacked, the two sects obtained some quite good spiritual weapons and magic weapons while defeating strong enemies, and this news is impossible to conceal. As a result, the monks in Hongzhou all took "maintaining the righteous path and doing the right way for heaven" as their son and entered the Black Hell Mountains to explore. But everyone knows that they just want to fish in troubled waters and pick up one or two.

Among these monks, there are elite disciples from the eight major schools such as Maha and Chengming, children from powerful families from all walks of life, and scattered cultivators with advanced Taoism. The people who come here are all with their own ghosts. This is true even for the Chengming Sect, which is also a sect. Just before leaving, the three veins temporarily agreed that the disciples of each vein should return to each vein and not follow the hall entrance.

On the surface, the disciples of the three veins left Jinting Mountain together and headed for Heizhou. But after getting out of the black city, there were immediately three directions to choose from. The final result is without exception, each vein goes its own way. This matter has been an unchanging law for thousands of years, and Chengming's disciples have long been accustomed to it. For example, this time, even famous figures like Lu Yuanyu and Zhao Chengxiu acquiesced in this disagreement.

After being separated in this way, the pressure on the Taiqing vein will be much greater, or the pressure will be all on Yue Chen. Because there is Su Shi who has a higher prestige than himself, and the original line is still headed by himself. At the same time, the overall strength of Taiqing Yimai is also much worse.

At noon that day, Yue Chen saw that the other two veins were leaving in two directions, and after thinking about it for a while, he decided to continue to move forward. It was a strange decision, but no one disputed it. Because in the Chengming Sect, the first person to conclude that the opponent fled to the destination was Yue Chen. At this moment, when no one has a bottom in their hearts, there is naturally nothing to say.

The Black Prison Mountain Range stretches for more than 6,000 miles, with many branches, and no one has ever heard from the mountain range more than 800 miles deep. But even if it is a mountain range that has been explored for more than 800 miles, it is obviously impossible to find something on foot.

After walking for a day and a night, someone's breath began to convey a message of impatience. A good eyesight has discovered a phenomenon, that is, when you first walk, you can see flying monks everywhere. But as he followed Yue Chen, he met fewer and fewer monks. It was as if Yue Chen knew a path that no one knew. Being able to find a path out of a mountain range that is exactly as black is a puzzling thing in itself.

In the middle of the night, Yue Chen finally stopped, staring at the dense black fog that was rushing and tumbling in front of him. This black mist is about nine zhang long and wide, and when you look closely, it looks like a door.

"Senior brother, could this be the entrance to the Nine Netherworld Palace?" Tian Chang asked seriously.

"I guess, that's what you think! Unfortunately, it's not!" Yue Chen replied with a relaxed face.

After a while, Yue Chen said loudly: "Come out!"

Yue Chen's words seemed to be calling an old friend out to meet. But soon everyone heard a "poof" breath, and suddenly several powerful waves of power rolled up the black mist and pressed towards everyone. Yue Chen didn't know when there were seven more yellow talismans in his palm, and the Tiangang Beidou formation was instantly revealed, forming an invisible barrier and completely dissolving the abnormal black mist circle.

"Moo!" a cow sound came from the black mist. Then came the sound of a bulky turn. A short time later, a one-legged cow appeared in front of everyone.

This cow is about more than a foot high, about seven feet long, one-horned and one-eyed, the eyebrows are like scales, the whole body is pure orange without variegation, and the four hooves are silver and white like stepping on snow. If you don't look closely, it looks like a one-legged monster.

It didn't seem to have any hostile intentions, just stared at Yue Chen calmly. Dong Yong reacted very quickly, and found a piece of fish scale in Yue Chen's palm early. When he was pondering to himself, he saw Yue Chen beckoning, and the cow slowly stepped forward.

"Prisoner Kui, don't you resent being banned from this place and never leaving?" As he spoke, Yue Chen wanted to reach out and touch Kui Niu's forehead.

"Smack!" Yue Chen's hand was slapped on the back of his hand, and Dong Yong said with a scoundrel face, "Such a divine beast naturally belongs to our beast hall." As he spoke, he snatched the fish scales from Yue Chen's hand and touched Kui Niu's forehead.

The fish scales are very consistent with the scale pattern, which is more like a token, which can make Kui Niu recognize each other, and at the same time, it also stimulates the mysterious prohibition in Kui Niu's body. Kui Niu, a psychic beast, has long been assimilated by spirituality. At this moment, it has recognized Dong Yong, who is holding fish scales, as its new owner. This is also the mystery of the Heavenly Dao creation.

Yue Chen said: "Senior Brother Dong, pluck a handful of Kui cow hair!"

"It's so barbaric and rude!" Dong Yong said indignantly, quickly cutting off a handful of cow hair in his hand and handing it to Yue Chen.

Tian Chang suddenly roared: "The divine beast Kui Niu sheds its hair three times a year, and this thing is a divine object for refining the array. This Kui Niu, we have to take half of the array. ”

"Kui ox blood is the best alchemy spiritual material, do we also need to divide one-third of the Dan Hall?" said Lao Qianxing frowned.

"Cow tendons, cow bones or refining spirit materials!" Tu Lei said unyieldingly.

"Robbers!" Dong Yong let out a low roar and said angrily, "Based on what you just said, it could have been exchanged normally, but if it is not ten times in the future, don't come to the beast hall." ”

"Underwhelming!"

"Boom!" a dull loud bang interrupted the bickering.

The cow hair in Yue Chen's palm continued to burn, and the orange light drifted towards the black mist. The condensed black mist was slowly torn apart, gradually forming a moon-shaped arch. After being completely stabilized, Yue Chen said, "Let's go in!"

"Moo!" Kui Niu roared as he looked up to the sky. The long-term depression of grievances can finally be vented.

Yue Chen and the others quickly passed through the black mist. When the others couldn't help but look back, they found that the door was quickly occupied by the black mist, which was no different from the original. Yue Chen was as calm as ever, striding forward, without the slightest intention of flying in the air.

At this point, Su Shi and the others didn't quite understand. This is not obvious, Yue Chen is very familiar with the situation in the Black Hell Mountain Range, and the silence Yue Chen chose when his fellow disciples proposed to search separately was completely deliberate.

However, Yue Chen was still the same, and only cared about walking forward. There is not even the slightest hint of explanation. Walking and walking, a miracle happened. A dense ancient forest appeared out of nowhere.

There are green forests in the Black Hell Mountains, which is an old legend. Yue Chen and the others actually appeared in front of the ancient legend.

"There really is such a place!" Yue Chen sighed lightly, turned around and said with a smile, "Walk through the forest, and you'll be there!"

Su Shi asked, "What kind of place is this?"

"Birch Forest!"

"This is the birch forest carved out by the legendary demon clan?"

"Yes!"

"How did you find here?"

"Follow the map!"

"Is that picture really in your hands?"

"Well, that's just the first part, if I'm not mistaken, the second part is in the Black Hell Mountains. ”

"Senior Brother Yue, you are really getting more and more powerful! Could it be that you want to swallow the treasures in the 'Great Zhou Tianjiu Netherworld Palace' alone?"

"When I went down the mountain this time, I had already handed over that map to Senior Brother Lu!"

"This matter is too secretive! If the three veins are together, it will be much easier to encounter any danger!" Su Shi said leisurely.

"Let go of your stinky fart!" Ouyang Xiu suddenly said angrily, "Old Seven, look at your current virtues. It's just that people don't look like people, and ghosts don't look like ghosts. Do you regret that you didn't pass on this matter to that stinky girl, so that the thieves of the Shangqing line came to get a piece of the pie? Have you ever wondered how the spiritual materials of the Taiqing line came from?

You're still brazen and take whatever you want.

Do you still have shame?

I'm in the same vein as you, it's a great shame for the eight of us!

If you still think about the slightest bit of gratitude that Master has worked so hard to cultivate, then think about what you have done since Master went into hiding?"

Ouyang Xiu's sudden angry words seemed to be a long-standing resentment to vent together. However, no one knows about the grievances between their brothers and sisters. But all in all, it should be very good. Wei Yuan and the others looked at Ouyang Xiu in a daze, and an inexplicable strangeness swept in. Everyone was thinking in their hearts, maybe after Su Shi inexplicably resigned from the position of the head of the Dan Hall, everything was silently changed. Everyone is just waiting for each other to get a chance.

Su Shi didn't speak, and Ouyang Xiu glared at Su Shi viciously. Everyone obviously felt that in terms of momentum between the two of them, Ouyang Xiu seemed to have a slight advantage. This can't help but make people think of another thing - Ouyang Xiu is such an active person, but the retreat time is surprisingly long. Judging from the incident that broke out today, it is more like someone deliberately arranged it to let Ouyang Xiu, who rose later, suppress Su Shi. Today's incident is by no means a simple quarrel between brothers and sisters.

Among the crowd, Yue Chen was the most indifferent and walked forward alone. Because Yue Chen knew that the fight between his own disciples was inevitable. The reason is very simple, everyone is an authentic descendant, and everyone is in the same vein at the root, but when they reach the same generation, when Su Shi, Ouyang Xiu and others start to accept apprentices, they are nine veins. In the internal fighting of the sect, non-personal disciples have always only beaten the side drums, and have not actually participated in the power.

Su Shi shook his head, maybe it was Ouyang Xiu's words that hurt him, anyway, he didn't say a word and chased after Yue Chen.

Ouyang Xiu snorted coldly and said, "Do you think you are still the genius you used to be?"

Huo Xuan and the others' faces were not good-looking. Because Ouyang Xiu's words also apply to the three of their junior brothers. In terms of contributions to the sect, especially the contributions of the elders after they retired, they were really not qualified to use the spiritual resources of the Heavenly Killing Peak at will. If it hadn't been for the beginning of everything, and everyone was still fine, perhaps someone would have made a different noise.

"Why?"

It's a simple word that anyone can say. Again, this is an all-powerful word that can leave anyone speechless.

For example, why was Yue Chen able to find the legendary Kui Niu and the White Birch Forest? If Yue Chen wanted to explain, it was his own fate; if Yue Chen did not explain, how could everyone tolerate Yue Chen?

In other words, Yue Chen and the others quickly passed through the birch forest, but they did not expect that there was a cliff directly west of the birch forest.
