Before entering the mountain, it snowed, and after entering the mountain, the snow became heavier and heavier, and along the way, the fine edelweiss turned into goose feathers, shrouding the entire Meishan mountain range in a white vastness, mountains, trees, rivers, ravines, rocks, ...... All of them are gone, the so-called thousands of mountains and birds fly away, and the traces of thousands of people are like this!

In this world, even in the Jiangnan region, it is still extremely cold in winter.

Unlike the earth, there are four seasons in this world, but although there are differences between the north and the south, the temperature difference between the four seasons is similar and does not change much.

Located south-south of the Yangtze River and close to Minzhou, the Meishan Mountains stretch along the coastline to Meizhou and then turn inland, isolating Meizhou from Minzhou. Speaking of which, the straight-line distance between Meizhou and Minzhou is not too far, and it is only a few hundred miles, but these hundreds of miles of mountains have become moats and are difficult to pass.

From Meizhou to Minzhou, along the east of the Meijiang River to the sea, and then along the coastline to the south, this is a route, the distance is relatively far, all the way on the boat, but also in the Meijiang River to the sea in Huating County to change the ship to go to sea, although the time consumed is more, the journey is still comfortable.

The other line is to go upstream along the Meijiang River, travel thousands of miles, pass by land and water, sometimes by boat, sometimes on horseback, through the state and county, from the Lingnan side into Fujian, the distance is longer, the road is not comfortable, if it is not a last resort, no one will choose this road.

Theoretically, there is a third way, that is, to climb over hundreds of miles of Meishan, enter from the northern foot of Meishan, pass through the central area, and walk out from the southern foothills.

It's just that no one chooses this path.

Even a martial artist with the cultivation of a great grandmaster, or an alien with a completely different level of strength, would not choose this path, this is because in the depths of Meishan, in that central area, there is a forbidden area, which is one of the seven forbidden places in the Jiangnan region, which can enter but not exit.

This forbidden area spans the depths of Meishan, with a radius of hundreds of miles, like the shape of a long leaf, cutting off the necessary way between Meizhou and Minzhou, isolating each other.

Now, Gu Xiaozhao and his entourage are going to enter this forbidden area that even strangers dare not walk through.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or something else, the group came to the edge of the forbidden area, and the goose feathers and snow in the sky stopped, and the mountains and valleys in front of them also showed their shapes, no longer a white expanse.

That said, this is no coincidence.

The heavy snow also avoided the area of the forbidden area and never fell.

This kind of vision made Gu Xiaozhao, who was originally worried, even more frightened, a group of more than ten people, and only Gu Xiaozhao still kept his composure, at least, there was no panic on his face, and because of this, they did not collapse, and still acted according to Gu Xiaozhao's orders step by step.

A group of thirteen people, except for Gu Xiaozhao and Su Qiao'er, the remaining eleven people are all disciples of the Meishan Sword Sect, among these disciples, the older ones are less than forty, the younger ones are just in their early twenties, the highest cultivation is the Great Zhou Tian martial artist, and the lowest cultivation is also the Xiao Zhou Tian entry.

It's not that the Meishan Sword Sect can't send grandmaster-level martial artists, and if the Peach Blossom True Monarch, who is a backer, has orders, they won't complain even if they come out.

As a stranger, the Peach Blossom True Monarch and the Meishan Sword Sect are both prosperous and loss-in, the things that the two sides want are often different, the resources needed by the alien are useless to the warrior, and the resources that the warrior needs are disdainful, and there is no conflict between the interests of the two sides, but they are natural allies.

If there was no Peach Blossom True Monarch sitting in Meizhou and no support from the other party, it would be impossible for the Meishan Sword Sect to stand out among the Thirteen Mountains, not only occupying Meizhou, but even expanding its sphere of influence to Mingzhou, Wenzhou and other places. What's more, if the Peach Blossom True Monarch is angry, the Meishan Sword Sect will even have the disaster of overthrowing.

This time they entered the mountain, the reason why they did not send a grandmaster-level martial artist was just out of convention.

Peach Blossom Zhenjun did not veto their plan either, and did not ask them to send stronger martial artists, because Peach Blossom True Monarch also understood that in this forbidden area of Meishan, once a grandmaster-level martial artist entered, there was only a dead end, and only a martial artist who failed to open the divine treasure had a glimmer of life.

There is a magical black mist hovering in this forbidden area.

If you open up the divine treasure, the spiritual power will leak through the eyebrows, so that no matter where you are in the forbidden area, it will attract black fog entanglement, this black fog will suck all your essence and spirit, and make you become a skeleton, and you can't get rid of it at all, and you can't get rid of it by all means.

Therefore, this is a forbidden area for grandmaster-level martial artists.

As for the Inhuman, the same is true, he may be able to withstand the invasion of the black fog, but he can't avoid the ancient array in the forbidden area, if the Inhuman approaches, the ancient array will pull the Inhuman into the formation like a magnet attracting iron filings, at the beginning, Peach Blossom Zhenjun also paid a great price to escape with the help of the Aoki clan.

As for the enemy who took the initiative to throw himself into the big formation, he has not come out so far, and he can only hide in the formation and rely on some small means to do things.

Now, Peach Blossom Zhenjun came, hiding in the bronze mirror in Gu Xiaozhao's arms and entering the forbidden land.

A few days ago, when he entered the mountain, Peach Blossom Zhenjun still communicated with Gu Xiaozhao from time to time, just like a chatter, most of what he said was nonsense.

Today, he did not say a word and remained silent.

Today is the first day to enter the forbidden area deep in Meishan.

Now, the light is detached and light, hanging lonely on the hills around it, and the darkness is watching in the distance, and the next moment it will pounce on it from all directions.

Yes, dusk has passed, and darkness has fallen.

This is an abandoned unknown temple, located in the middle of the mountainside, the courtyard wall has long disappeared, the courtyard is also swallowed by the half-human high weeds, the main hall still exists, but the wind leaks everywhere, the eaves above the head are not half gone, and the starry sky can be seen when you look up, but the starry sky seems to be blocked by a film, and the starlight is blurred and distorted.

At the four corners of the main hall, the people of the Meishan Sword Sect were busy.

They all looked nervous, their foreheads were covered with sweat, and they came and went in a hurry.

You know, in this forbidden area, for them warriors, daylight is not a danger, once it is night, the real crisis will come, at that time, even if they have not opened the divine hide, the flesh and blood aura on their bodies will attract the prying eyes of unknown beings hiding in the dark.

Those strange beings will come with the night, hide in the darkness, and pounce silently, as long as they are rolled up by the night, the flesh and blood will be swallowed up with the living soul.

In this way, there is also a need for firelight.

However, ordinary bonfires are useless to them, and under the reflection of bonfires, people also have shadows, and this shadow is also a part of the darkness, and those terrible beings will hide in the shadows......

Again, in the catastrophe is inevitable.

What they need is an extremely special kind of flame, this flame is a kind of foreign body, only Inhumans can make it, but the manufacturing process is very difficult, it requires the consumption of a lot of valuable resources, and most importantly, it also consumes the blood origin power of Inhumans.

Therefore, this flame is also very precious.

The source of this flame is two wicks, black and white intertwined wicks, placed in a bronze lamp, if you want to light this wick, all the fire is useless, you must use your own inner family true qi to ignite it, this process, to consume a large amount of inner family true qi, even if it is a great Zhou Tianwu person, although he can rely on his own strength to ignite this wick, however, most of the whole person will also be wasted, and it will take several months of cultivation to recover the vitality.

Therefore, it was necessary for the two Great Zhou Heavenly Martial Artists to take turns to ignite it with the true qi of the inner family.

Among the group, the eldest warrior had entered the forbidden area five years earlier, and he was the only one to leave alive in the group of dozens of people, so he took on the role of a guide, and this unknown abandoned temple was the first camp he suggested.

This abandoned temple is located in a recess halfway up the mountainside, and the night wind passes through it and often whistles from the outside, making it difficult to enter the main hall.

Even so, except for the few Great Zhou Heavenly warriors who lit the lamps with their own true qi, the rest of the people were also busy, collecting mountain stones and discarded wood, piling them up around the main hall, forming low walls one after another, blocking the leaky walls as much as possible, so as not to prevent the night wind from entering the temple.

The Divine Fire created by the Inhumans can block the invasion of darkness, making it impossible for those who hide in the darkness to gnaw at human flesh, but this thing is also flawed.

That is, this divine fire, like ordinary fire, cannot withstand the wind and rain.

Therefore, everyone has to strengthen the hall and prevent the night wind from entering the temple, hoping to survive this night.

Gu Xiaozhao was not as busy as everyone else, even if Su Qiao'er was carrying the mountain stones, he sat on the steps of the main hall, pulled the guide in front of him, and asked the other party in a low voice.

The real age of the warrior who escaped five years ago was only forty years old, and he looked like an old man, with gray hair, a wrinkled face, a crippled eye, only the whites of his eyes, and he didn't know where he lost his eyeballs.

Gu Xiaozhao asked him about what happened five years ago.

This guide named Lei Dan thought that Gu Xiaozhao was looking for experience from him, in fact, Gu Xiaozhao had another purpose, what he wanted to know was very simple, that is, among the group of people who entered the mountain with this guy at the beginning, did they have their own parents, and if they had their own parents, what would be their final whereabouts?

When he came to this world, he had this body and obtained a part of his memory, and in this way, he also received the cause and effect of this body.

The whereabouts of his parents are the greatest cause and effect, and he has to resolve this cause and effect satisfactorily.

In this way, you can be at ease.

It's a pity that Gu Xiaozhao didn't get much useful information from Lei Dan.

Once he thought back to five years ago, Lei Dan's eyes were completely occupied by horror, at that time, he would become incoherent, say some nonsense that did not match the preamble, and he was about to go crazy when he spoke, Gu Xiaozhao had to stop asking, and combed Lei Dan's mind with his true qi, so that he could barely calm down.

Take your time!

That's all there is to it!
