Half a day later, beside the mountain stream, Tong Yu was feasting on a roasted yellow fish.

"There is no salt and the taste is average, but it is still cooked and eaten to the right appetite. ”

After eating the white jade spirit mushroom for several days, although it was very tender and delicious, a bird had already faded out of his mouth.

After eating a few grilled fish, he patted his stomach and lay lazily on the ground.

When he woke up, he found himself on a black mountain that was a thousand feet high.

Qifeng isolated!

This mountain peak is black, the mountain stone is extremely hard, there is very little grass and trees on the mountain, and there is only such a lone peak in a radius of hundreds of miles.

"Where should I go? I don't know what this place is, and where the True Demon Palace is!"

Tong Yu said with a sad face: "That evil woman is getting closer and closer to here!"

The threat brought by Han Muxian is the most troublesome thing for him at the moment.

Just as Tong Yu was looking at the sky aimlessly, a blue light in the distance flew towards this lonely peak at an extremely fast speed.

"Rub!"

Tong Yu jumped up from the ground, his eyes staring at the blue light that was getting closer and closer, or the figure above the blue light.

"Immortal cultivators?"

Under Tong Yu's gaze, this blue light landed at the foot of the lonely peak.

Tong Yu's face was cloudy, after what happened before, he no longer had such simple illusions about the so-called 'Immortal Chief'.

Seeing the immortal cultivator here made him both surprised and hesitant, and he didn't know if he should go and ask one or two.

Just as he hesitated, another rainbow light flew from another direction, also landing under the foot of Lone Peak.

"Another one?"

Tong Yu was shocked.

In just half an hour, more than a dozen rays of light came before and after, or flying boats or huge spirit birds.

"So many immortal cultivators gather..."

Tong Yu obviously felt that things were not ordinary, and couldn't help but groan: "There are so many people, they won't all be like Han Muxian and the others, maybe someone knows where the True Demon Palace is, no matter how bad it is, they have to figure out what kind of place this is." ”

After simply cleaning up, Tong Yu turned around and began to land on a cultivator who was close.

He grew up in Dadong Mountain since he was a child, and he is no stranger to everything in the mountains.

However, this lonely peak was extremely steep, and the mountain road was difficult to walk, and he did not get down to the foot of the mountain that day.

The next morning, when Tong Yu was groping down the mountain, he accidentally found a bluestone mountain road.

The wide bluestone steps, old but quite intact, still have some footprints on them.

"It seems that there are still people going up the mountain. ”

Tong Yu whispered and said happily: "With this road, it will be much easier to go down the mountain." ”

He did not immediately descend the mountain along the road, but sat on the side of the road to rest.

Untied his backpack and took out the few remaining white jade spirit mushrooms, Tong Yu savored them.

Every time he was exhausted, eating a white jade spirit mushroom would immediately restore his energy.

It's just that he didn't bring out much of the white bone spirit mushrooms, and some of them were scattered in the dark river, and only a few were left on his body.

"This Daoist brother, what are you eating is a jade spirit mushroom?"

Tong Yu looked up and found that a handsome young man had come to him at some point.

This person's eyes widened, looking at the white jade spirit mushroom in his hand in disbelief.

The boy was about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in black, with a dusty temperament and a graceful demeanor.

"Ah, you said I ate this?"

Tong Yu hurriedly stood up, this young man was the first person he had seen in the past few days, it was not easy.

"I don't know if it's the jade spirit mushroom you said, but it's delicious, you can have one too?"

Tong Yu enthusiastically picked up a jade spirit mushroom and handed it over.

After taking it, the young man in black looked at it a few times, and sniffed it carefully, his face became more and more exciting.

When he saw Tong Yu holding another jade spirit mushroom in his hand and was about to send it to his mouth, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it.

"This Dao brother, this is a jade spirit mushroom, a jade spirit mushroom!"

The black-clothed young man said bitterly: "This is a rare elixir, it's not for eating, I've never seen such a big jade spirit mushroom, at least hundreds of years, you're ruining the spiritual thing!"

His reaction made Tong Yu a little surprised, and he couldn't help but observe the young man in front of him again.

The eyebrows are delicate, the eyes are smart, and the most attractive thing is his temperament, which gives Tong Yu a sense of déjà vu.

With a move in his heart, Tong Yu asked tentatively, "Are you an immortal cultivator?"

The young man in black was stunned and looked Tong Yu up and down.

A bright red robe, dirty, and embroidered with two unretellable happy words on his chest, very similar to the groom's wedding robe.

At the age of thirteen or fourteen, he looked very immature, his aura was scattered, and there was no trace of a cultivator.

He showed a hint of understanding, and his expression was also three points more cold, and he smiled indifferently: "Yes, I am a cultivator." ”

"This little brother, the jade spirit mushroom in your hand is very important to me, I exchange a piece of treasure jade with you, how about it?"

Tong Yu's eyes suddenly became a little more vigilant, although he didn't know how precious the jade spirit mushroom was, but this was picked from the jade bi by himself, and it was definitely not a piece of jade that could be exchanged.

"I don't sell these jade spirit mushrooms. ”

Tong Yu then changed his tone and said, "However, if you can tell me what place this is, or where the True Demon Palace is, I will give you the one in your hand." ”

He couldn't wait to ask the question he wanted to know most.

"You don't know where this is?"

The black-clothed young man had strange eyes, and Tong Yu was uncomfortable.

Then, he said strangely: "Since you are on the mountain, you still ask me where the True Demon Palace is?"

"What do you mean?"

Tong Yu was confused, and said: "It's not a secret, I want to worship the True Demon Palace, but I don't know where it is, I want to go down the mountain to ask the immortal cultivator, do you know?"

"You came down from the mountains?"

The eyes of the young man in black became even more strange, and he said in surprise: "You actually came down from the mountain?"

"Any questions?"

Tong Yu is really confused by him now.

The young man in black was completely speechless, and pointed to the bluestone road under his feet and said, "Do you know what this road is called?"

"Knock on the devil's way!"

"Do you know what the name of this mountain is?"

"Lead-in-the-peak!"

"Every disciple who wants to worship the True Demon Palace must walk along the Demon Knocking Road to the top of the Receiving Peak, so that they can participate in the opening ceremony of the True Demon Palace in three days. ”

"And you want to worship the True Demon Palace, but walk down the mountain, is there anything funnier than this?"

"Huh?"

Tong Yu was completely stunned, it turned out that the True Demon Palace he was looking for was right in front of him.

The black-clothed young man asked with interest, "You don't even know where the True Demon Palace is, how can you appear on the mountain and still want to worship the True Demon Palace?"

"Hey, hey. ”

Tong Yu laughed twice, thought for a moment before saying, "I met an old man in a purple robe, he asked me to worship the True Demon Palace, and I don't know what's going on on this mountain." ”

"By the way, the spirit mushroom was also given to me by him. ”

The words of fiction and reality made the young man in black look tight.

Tong Yu's words he believed ** points, a mortal who didn't know anything appeared on the road to knock on the demon, and he also carried such a precious elixir as the jade spirit mushroom.

Except for the arrangement of his predecessors, he couldn't think of any other explanation.

"In Xia Cui Ning, dare to ask the little brother's name?"

A warm smile reappeared on Cui Ning's face, and she took the initiative to talk to Tong Yupan.

"It's easy to say, my name is Tong Yu. ”

"It turned out to be Brother Tong, if you don't dislike it, let's go up the mountain together. ”

"Can you really go up the mountain from this road to the True Demon Palace?"

"There are still many people on the mountain, and Brother Tong naturally knows it clearly when he meets him. ”

In disbelief, Tong Yu and Cui Ning embarked on the road of knocking demons together.

In less than half an hour, Tong Yu met three young people who were climbing the mountain and confirmed that this was indeed the leading peak.

The two walked all the way, and under Cui Ning's explanation, Tong Yu had a preliminary understanding of the cultivation world, and knew that the immortal chief in the eyes of secular mortals was just a cultivator.

The True Demon Palace's apprenticeship ceremony only recruits young people who have not forged a Dao foundation, and most of the light spirit birds and flying boats that Tong Yu saw yesterday were sent by some strong people to their juniors to participate in this entrance ceremony.

An hour passed quickly, and even if Tong Yu gritted his teeth and tried his best, he couldn't keep up with Cui Ning's footsteps.

"Brother Cui, no, I want to rest for a while. ”

Sitting on the side of the road panting, Tong Yu said embarrassedly: "In the past, I had no problem walking the mountain road for two or three hours, but now I am very tired." ”

Cui Ning laughed and said, "Brother Tong, it's not your problem, but that there is a mystery on the way to knock the devil." ”

"It is said that this leading peak was set up by the masters of the True Demon Palace, and the more you go up, the more difficult it becomes, in order to let most people know the difficulty and retreat. ”

"Retreating?"

Tong Yu's expression changed and he asked, "Brother Cui, can mortals reach the top of the mountain after walking the Demon Knocking Road?"

Cui Ning thought for a moment before smiling: "I don't know about this, but knocking on the demon path has nothing to do with cultivation, the higher the cultivation, the greater the pressure." ”

After a pause, he said again: "It is said that as long as a sincere person has a firm mind and is pious enough, he can reach the top of the mountain after walking the demon path, and Brother Tong will also have a chance." ”

Tong Yu can only secretly cheer himself up, if he wants to enter the True Demon Palace, he has to meet the people of the True Demon Palace first.

"Brother Tong, the ceremony of the True Demon Palace will start in three days, and there is not much time, so I will take the first step. ”

Cui Ning took out a jade bottle from his arms and said, "Here is a bottle of Bigu Dan, if you can't do anything, you can also let Brother Tong be free of hunger and cold for a period of time." ”

"Brother Tong doesn't have to be too reluctant, the senior who let Brother Tong come to apprentice may have other arrangements. ”

Curiously taking the bottle of Bigu Dan, Tong Yu thanked him: "Thank you Brother Cui for telling me a lot of knowledge in the cultivation world along the way, I am grateful, and I wish Brother Cui a smooth entry into the True Demon Palace in three days." ”

"Accept your good words and take your leave. ”

Watching Cui Ning drift away, Tong Yu sighed in frustration, but he was quickly attracted by Bigu Dan.

Open the jade bottle and pour out a cyan pill the size of a soybean, with a fragrant breath.

Not long after taking it, a warm breath rose in the abdomen, warm and comfortable.

After lying on the side of the road and resting for a quarter of an hour, after recovering his mental and physical strength, Tong Yu hit the road again.

After more than half an hour, he had to stop again to rest.

When it was dark, he was halfway up the mountain, but he was physically and mentally exhausted, and felt that his legs were filled with lead, and every step was extremely heavy.

After a night's rest, he hit the road again the next day.

From taking a break once an hour at the beginning to needing a rest in less than a quarter of an hour now, Tong Yu fully realized what Cui Ning meant when he said that the more you go up, the more difficult it is.

"No, I can't walk. ”

Tong Yu fell on the bluestone road, his eyes full of exhaustion, panting for breath.

It was as if he was carrying a mountain on his back, and the invisible pressure made every step extremely difficult.

Although he rested for a while, it didn't seem to have any effect at all, and he longed to sleep here for a day and a night.

Looking at the still distant peak, Tong Yu's eyes gradually showed a look of despair.

"I want to worship in the True Demon Palace, my heart is pious enough. ”

Tong Yu gritted his teeth and went on the road again, but after he walked more than a dozen steps, he still couldn't hold it and fell to the ground.

Raising his arm and looking at the red mark on his right wrist, Tong Yu's heart was full of unwillingness.

"Han Muxian is getting closer and closer to here, and her sense is getting clearer and clearer, she must be coming at me. ”

"If you can't worship the True Demon Palace, you will definitely be captured by her. ”

"Am I just waiting for her to come?"
