Volume Seventy-Three: Rapid Journey in the Mountains and Forests

The things between the Great Zen Temple have been in place, and the personnel have arrived, so everyone will no longer delay, and early the next morning, after the four of them are ready, they will say goodbye and embark on the journey to the sword shrine.

"Brother Ou, where is the specific location of Gutuo Mountain?" Xie Junyan also didn't know anything about Gutuo Mountain.

"To the northeast of Mount Qingfeng and Mount Taiyu is the city of Mida, and to the north of them are the continuous mountains, and Mount Gutuo is hidden in the deepest part of this lofty mountain. Ou Zhiyang pointed to the continuous mountain range in front of him and said.

"No wonder the name is so zen, it turns out to be hidden near this great Zen temple!" Yi Ling suddenly realized.

"It's not as close as you think, it's very remote here, inaccessible, even more so in the mountains, with lush trees and shrubs, there is no way to follow, and Gutuo Mountain is still in the deepest part of this lofty mountain, if you don't go on for a month, I'm afraid it will be difficult to reach!" Ou Zhiyang needs to explain the difficulties of this trip.

"What's so difficult about this, since this place is inaccessible, we don't have to hide our cultivation, just fly over it!" Yi Ling said lightly.

"If it's so simple, then why do I say so much, it is precisely because this mountain range is close to the Great Zen Temple, so there are many monks who are hidden in the mountains to practice, and there are more than a few people who want to explore the sword mound, if you rush to the road, it will definitely attract their attention, if you are worried about it, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble, and even more, if you follow us into the cave, and then accidentally make some noise, then we will die!"

"Then what should I do? Do you want to walk over?" Hearing that she was going to climb the mountain and wade through the water again, Yi Ling suddenly had a bitter face.

"It's not so hard, it's still okay to show your martial arts appropriately, but don't be too public, just be cautious, not to mention that we still have Ming Xuan, a jungle master, it should be no problem!" Ou Zhiyang said with a smile, and pushed the responsibility to Ming Xuan again.

"You said so much, but in the end it fell on my head, it's really amazing!" Ming Xuan was speechless for a while, but he was duty-bound.

"If you can work hard, you will trouble Brother Gu!" Ou Zhiyang said with a smile.

"You've said that, what else can I say, let's go!" Ming Xuan had to take the lead.

When you first enter the mountains and forests, you can still see a lot of people, some of them are the hunters of Mida City, and there are also many people who go into the mountains to play and go green, but the more you go inside, there are fewer and fewer people, and after you cross a mountain, you can't see a few people, and the four of them hide in the dense forest and continue to move forward.

"Regarding the Sword Shrine, did you only invite the three of us?" Xie Junyan suddenly asked curiously.

"The fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better, and the people invited must also be reliable, able to trust each other, and have considerable cultivation, judging from my experience and friends, there are only the three of you who can imagine, in fact, there was originally one of my senior brothers, but unfortunately he failed when he broke through the spirit and has now died. Ou Zhiyang sighed and said, it is indeed not easy to choose a person who meets the requirements of character and martial arts among the friends who understand.

"Magic weapons are only useful to spirits, and there is such a desolate giant beast guarding on the side, it really takes everyone to work together to have a chance to succeed. Xie Junyan thought so.

"When you agreed with me back then, I hadn't broken through the Spirit Being, if I hadn't been able to break through until now, wouldn't I want to drag everyone back?" Ming Xuan couldn't help but ask, he had always had such doubts in his heart, in fact, it was not only him, Xie Junyan and Yi Ling also had such doubts.

"Actually, when I made an agreement with you, none of you had broken through the spirit, and I didn't either, but you are the most promising of my friends to break through the spirit, so I will make an agreement with you, but I also considered the variables, to put it mildly, if you fail to break through, you will be seriously injured if you don't die, and the agreement will naturally end, if I fail, even more so, the reason why I set the agreed location in Boiling City instead of here is also this reason, when the time comes, if anyone does not break through, I will not talk about more things related to the sword shrine when I get to Boiling City, only if you break through the spirit, I will continue to fulfill the previous agreement, and tell you more about the sword shrine, Fortunately, everyone broke through the spirit one, so there was no need to go to Boiling City again, so they agreed to come here. Ou Zhiyang said solemnly.

Strength determines a qiē, if there is no breakthrough spirit, this trip to the sword mound will no longer exist, although cruel, but there is nothing to blame, Ou Zhiyang has walked the rivers and lakes for many years, rich experience, and vicious eyes, so the selected person will definitely be one he can trust 100%, even if the situation is explained, some people are unwilling to go along, Ou Zhiyang also believes that he feels that he will not talk about this matter leaked out, as for the people who are traveling with him, this time there is more meat and less wolves, everyone can get what they want, and there is no conflict of interest between each other, so they can avoid the loss of interests and things。

"If I don't have the strength of a spirit, even if you invite me, I'm afraid I won't go, after all, the strength is not enough, and the magic weapon is useless to me for the time being. Yiling said with a shrug.

"In fact, we are all disciples of famous sects, and it is not too difficult to obtain magic weapons, and the reason why we are willing to take such a big risk to obtain the sword is mainly because we want to exercise ourselves, and we also hope to rely on our own efforts to harvest what really belongs to us, rather than to sit back and enjoy it. Xie Junyan said frankly, after all, they are all spirits, whether in the sect or in the family, they are the objects of key cultivation, and it will not be too difficult to obtain magic weapons, but how can the things given by others be more meaningful than the things they work hard to obtain.

"Brother Xie expressed my heart, and it is true, but I still have to reiterate, this operation is extremely risky, I am afraid of my life, if you regret it or are not sure whether to go, you can bring it up at any time, I will never force everyone, let alone disown you as a friend!" Ou Zhiyang said solemnly, it is a matter of life and death, he can't be careless, if he offends the sect family behind them because of this, it will really outweigh the loss.

"Don't worry! We're not three-year-olds anymore, and we won't change the things we decide for ourselves, to put it bluntly, I even wrote a suicide note!" Xie Junyan said jokingly, not caring at all.

"Risk and opportunity coexist, everyone understands this truth, you don't have to worry so much!" Ming Xuan also said with a smile, Yi Ling also nodded, they had already agreed before, how could they have the idea of escaping.

"In that case, then I won't say more, let's continue to set off!" Ou Zhiyang smiled heartily and continued to move forward.

The further they go, the denser the mountains and forests become, almost unable to walk an inch, but this does not bother them, although they can't do the flying of the imperial object now, but there is no problem in stepping on the leaves, and the speed is not slow, Ming Xuan has an excellent vigilance ability in the mountains and forests, and now he has spiritual power as an aid, within the controllable range of ability, he is fully confident to avoid any possible danger and the tracking of people with intentions.

The speed of the four of them was very fast, and they could cross a mountain range in two hours, and at this speed, they could reach Gutuo Mountain in three days.

"This place is really remote enough, I really don't know how your ancestors found this place. Xie Junyan had never had such a rapid march, and at the end of the day, he also had back pain, and his spiritual power was depleted, and after resting, he had to meditate and breathe to recuperate his body.

"In order to find strange stones, they have traveled almost all over Zhongzhou, and it is not surprising that they can find here. "If you can't understand the beliefs and pursuits of our ancestors, we won't understand the efforts and hardships he has made.

"I didn't seem to see anyone else along the way!" Yi Ling said curiously.

"That's because I chose my path ahead of time and avoided them, so you can't see them. Ming Xuan said casually.

"Since you haven't encountered it, how can you avoid it?" Yi Ling was very puzzled, in her opinion, this matter could not be predicted in advance.

"In the mountains, the terrain is complex, so the distribution of spiritual power will be different, some places will be very thin, some places will be very rich, and anyone who cultivates in the mountains will definitely choose places with abundant spiritual power, so we should try to avoid these places when we travel, and we can avoid the monks who practice in the mountains. Ming Xuan said lightly, in fact, this is the talk of experience.

"Aren't there other people in the mountains, and I haven't seen them!" Yi Ling asked.

"Again, because of the complex terrain, people who walk in the mountains usually choose the easier path to follow, and we just have to do the opposite, and we can naturally avoid it. Ming Xuan smiled and continued.

"No wonder you took us across the stream and ditch along the way, it turned out that it was also to avoid outsiders!" Yi Ling finally understood.

"In fact, there is another reason, if the strength is stronger than us, they can fly, they will not toss like us in the mountains and forests, if the strength is weaker than us, it is just a group of capable people, we can completely avoid them without knowing anything, so if you want to avoid everyone, it is easy to say, it is not difficult to say. Ming Xuan said lightly, speaking of which, they only needed to avoid the spirit masters who were not much different from their own strength.

"No wonder Brother Ou and Miss Chen respect and trust you so much, after hearing these words, Xie was also convinced!" Xie Junyan said convincingly.

"It's just some ways for the people of the mountains and wilderness to survive, Brother Xie praised it!" Ming Xuan smiled faintly.

"But it's a pity, Mingxuan, you still missed a thing. Ou Zhiyang suddenly shook his head and sighed.

"Oh, would you like to hear about it?" asked Ming Xuan suspiciously.

"Your experience can really help us avoid other people, without taking into account the fact that others will deliberately approach us. Ou Zhiyang said matter-of-factly.

Everyone understood, and immediately used their spiritual power to probe, and immediately understood, a group of people were slowly leaning towards them in the mountains and forests not far away.
