The Badlands of Southern Xinjiang, in the extreme south of the vast land of Shenzhou, is said to be rich in poisonous insects and beasts. The most obvious boundary with the Central Plains is in the extreme south, where it suddenly rises like a flat land, with tall and majestic mountains one after another, towering into the clouds, separating the north and the south.

Since ancient times, few people have gone to southern Xinjiang in the fertile land of the Central Plains, for no other reason, first, the roads are steep, secondly, there are too many beasts, poisonous insects, miasma and bad water, and the land is barren and cannot be farmed. Later, I don't know when it began, the world began to spread that in the endless mountains of southern Xinjiang, there are all kinds of barbaric alien races, Ru Mao drinks blood, cruel and easy to kill, among which there are more terrifying orcs who eat human flesh, and since then no one dares to go, but the world is terrified, day and night worried about whether those alien races will one day, suddenly run out of those mountains, invade the Central Plains, and endanger the world.

However, in the past thousand years, there have been no rumors of barbarian harm, although occasionally in the border areas of southern Xinjiang, there have been a few cases of monsters with strange appearances, but most of them died without a problem, and gradually disappeared by people. Nowadays, even the people living in the southern frontier are probably only the mothers who say the words "If you are disobedient, those barbarian monsters will come to catch you" when their mothers put their children to sleep at night, but on weekdays, no one will ever think about whether these alien races in the deep mountains really exist, let alone the Central Plains, which is thousands of miles away.

Speaking of which, the 100,000 mountains shrouded in layers of fog are now forgotten by the people of the world.

However, the ordinary people in the world have forgotten these alien races, but there are some people who have cultivated the true Dao and have not forgotten. Regardless of the righteous and evil ways, as long as the seniors are older, they will know that the reason why the southern alien races have not been able to harm the world in the past thousand years is that the "Incense Valley" of the righteous path giant sect is really a great contribution.

The 100,000 towering mountains cut off the north and south, and the people of the Central Plains could not go south, and it was difficult for those foreign barbarians to go north. But a thousand years ago, an incredible thunderstorm fell from the sky, killing and injuring countless people within a radius of thousands of miles. After the catastrophe, some people found that in the majestic mountain range, the heavenly thunder giant force actually split a certain part of the high mountain, revealing a dark dark path only three feet wide.

That is, from that time on, among the 100,000 mountains in the world, there were hidden barbarian monsters, who intruded on the people from time to time, and the people in the border areas were miserable, until the emergence of the Incense Valley.

Incense Valley in the righteous path of the sects, the origin is the most mysterious and ethereal, as early as 1,500 years ago, there are disciples of this line to walk the world, if you talk about the origin alone, only Qingyunmen and the Demon Sect in the whole world have a longer history than the Incense Valley, even Tianyin Temple is not as good as it.

But despite this, this faction was extremely low-key in the past, although from time to time there will be a few people with profound Taoism, but the impact on the situation in the world is not great. Until 800 years ago, this faction found a valley near the dark tunnel on the border of southern Xinjiang and settled down, and since then it has called itself "Burning Incense Valley", and in 800 years, incredible masters have emerged, and their power has become more and more powerful, and now it has fought against Qingyunmen and Tianyin Temple, and has become one of the three major factions of the righteous path in the world.

Correspondingly, Yun Yilan, the contemporary valley master of Incense Valley, is also a righteous path giant on the same level as Qingyunmen Dao Xuan Zhenren and Master Puhong of Tianyin Temple, but this person has always been low-key, but his reputation alone is not as good as the above two.

Because of its geography, the Valley of Incense took on the role of guarding the dark path known locally as the "Black Hole", and since then, there have been no rumors of barbarian monsters infesting the people. Therefore, in the hearts of the local people, the Incense Valley has a very high reputation and is revered as a first-class immortal.

These materials are recorded in the Demon Sect Ghost King Sect, and Ghost Li has also seen them in the past ten years, and now they are slowly turning them out in his mind. At this moment, it was the third day that he had traveled south after asking Zhou Zhou Xian about the news of the Fish-Man monster, and he hurried along the way, and finally arrived near the 100,000 Great Mountain.

The night is deep, this night the bright moon is in the sky, the clouds are quite thick, there are not a few stars, but the moon is clear, sprinkled to the world, but also the mountain where he is located, shining quite brightly.

Ghost Li stood on top of the hill, looking south, his brow furrowed slightly. Ash the monkey was still lying on his shoulder, holding a wild fruit picked from nowhere, and was gnawing on it with relish.

Along the way, in the first two days, he still found the mark left by his subordinates to kill the monk, but today, the killing monk has completely lost the news. However, judging from the information he left a few days ago, the killing monk who is proficient in tracking has determined that those mysterious fishmen are rapidly heading south, and the goal is obviously to return to the old nest in southern Xinjiang.

Could it be that killing has already clashed with those mysterious fishmen?

Ghost Li sighed slightly, a hint of worry flashing through his eyes. The barbarians of Southern Xinjiang are completely different from the characters of the Central Plains, which has been mentioned many times in the remnants of the Ghost King Sect, and the people there do not know anything about cultivation at all, but they seem to have all kinds of strange witchcraft and strange methods, which is incredible.

The killing monk is not very old and has a violent temperament, but he is really an outstanding figure among the new generation of disciples of the Ghost King Sect.

This mysterious disappearance, Ghost Li was faintly worried. It's just that at this moment, he stared ahead, only to see that the night was dark, and the black shadow pupils in the south, as if there was some huge thing dancing its teeth and claws in the night, thinking that it was the legendary 100,000 mountains. And somewhere beneath that mountain range is the legendary and mysterious Valley of Incense.

The southern frontier has always been the sphere of influence of the Incense Valley, and the disciples of the Demon Sect enter alone, and the danger is not to be mentioned.

When Ghost Li was pondering, he suddenly felt something, looked up at the sky, and saw a lonely moon in the sky, shuttling between faint black clouds, as if suddenly, there was also a bit of a demon.

A dark red light suddenly appeared in the night sky, swept across the sky under the clear light of the moon, and fell to a mountain to the south.

Ghost stared at the strange red light, his eyebrows gradually wrinkled, and after a while, he seemed to have made up his mind, patted Xiao Ash on the shoulder, and then the blue light under his feet returned, and the soul devouring light flashed with a faint light, supporting him and Xiao Ash to rise slowly, suddenly speeding up, and chasing in the direction of the red light.

※※※

I don't know when it started in the night sky, the black clouds gradually increased, and the light of the lonely moon in the sky gradually dimmed, as if there was a kind of dark and demonic atmosphere unique to southern Xinjiang, which became more and more intense in this night.

The mysterious red light flew for a while, and then fell down on a mountain ten miles south of the hill where the ghost was hiding. Southern Xinjiang is mountainous, and there are many plants and trees on the mountains, but in the forest of this nameless hill, there is a desolate ancient temple. The red light fell in front of the ancient temple, and a burst of light flickered, revealing a thin old man.

He looked around a few times, and after making sure that no one was there, he walked into the ancient temple.

Barren mountains and mountains, barren ancient temples, but some people come here late at night, and there are naturally unspeakable things in them. A moment later, in the shadows of the woods outside the ancient temple, a ghostly figure slowly appeared. His gaze surveyed the nameless ancient temple, and then he looked up at the sky again. The dark clouds in the night sky became heavier, gradually obscuring the moonlight.

His figure swayed, and he silently swept towards the ancient temple.

This ancient temple has obviously been abandoned for a long time, and the temple is full of ruins and broken walls, even the main hall, which looks extremely dilapidated from the outside, and there are holes everywhere. The night wind blew coldly, the broken windows squeaked and swayed, and the low voice looked particularly bleak in the night, and there was a faint hint of weirdness.

"Poof!"

There was a slight sound, as if someone had lit the fire, and a faint light lit up in the main hall, but this lamp was dim, and it could only illuminate the place in the main hall a little, and a little farther away, it was still shrouded in darkness.

"Twitter, twitter, twitter, twitter......" Suddenly, a strange and inexplicable voice suddenly sounded in the hall, this sound is like a ghost crying in the middle of the night, and like a poisonous insect walking at night.

Hidden in the shadows, Ghost Li quietly looked into the main hall.

I saw that under the dim lights of the main hall, in addition to the old man I saw just now, there were two people, one was in his thirties, with a medium build, and the other was quite tall, but for some reason, his whole body was tightly wrapped by a cloak, and he didn't even show a point on his head, and that strange and inexplicable voice turned out to be this person coming out from under the cloak.

The voice echoed in the dark ancient temple, becoming more and more demonic, as if the evil spirit had awakened.

Ghost Li looked at it coldly, it was the first time he had heard such strange words, so he naturally didn't know the meaning, but looking at the expressions of the other two, he knew that there would be results. Sure enough, the mysterious man said for a while, stopped for a while, and the middle-aged man who had been standing beside him and had been listening intently turned his head to the old man and said, "The patriarch said: This time it was in vain, but it made the clan lose its manpower and expose its hiding, all of which you are not allowed to hear." When the Beast God King heard this, he lost his temper......"

When the middle-aged man said the word "beast god", his voice suddenly became lower, and the tall figure wrapped in the cloak seemed to tremble.

The old man also frowned, and said, "We originally agreed to tell the Beast God King where the 'Heavenly Emperor Immortal Stone' is, as far as we know, that strange stone is indeed in the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury in the Dead Ze, how can we blame us for not having accurate information?"

He looked at the mysterious figure under the cloak, and a hint of sneer suddenly crossed his lips, and said, "I'm afraid that you can't do it yourself?"

As soon as these words came out, the mysterious man wrapped in the cloak suddenly responded: "Tweet, tweet, tweet......" This strange voice said one after another, although the ghost who was hidden on the side did not understand the meaning, but listening to the rapid and sharp voice, it was obvious that the mysterious figure was very angry.

The mysterious man said for a while, and the middle-aged man in the center of the translation gradually turned ugly, and finally waited for him to stop, and the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment before he said: "The patriarch said: Although they have never been to the Death Swamp, they also know that there is never a human there, but this time there are suddenly countless Middle-earth cultivation masters, naturally, naturally your news is wrong." ”

The old man looked at the middle-aged man who seemed to be finished, and couldn't help but be stunned, just now the mysterious man said for a long time, but when the middle-aged man translated, there was only this sentence, thinking that the mysterious figure in the middle had a lot of curses and bad words, and the middle-aged man was reluctant to translate.

The old man pondered for a moment, and it seemed that he was still unwilling to turn his face with the mysterious man, so he said: "The birth of the Heavenly Emperor's treasure house this time is a grand omen, shaking the world, and I think those masters of Middle-earth cultivation also heard the news and left, which is beyond our control." ”

The mysterious man wrapped in the cloak was still angry, and there was a strange sound, the middle-aged man listened attentively, nodded frequently, and then said to the old man: "The patriarch said: That Heavenly Emperor Immortal Stone is very important to the Beast God King, and it has a great relationship, this time it was fruitless, the Beast God King was furious, and killed several clansmen on the spot......"

When the old man heard this, his face was solemn, and he seemed to be in a heavy mood, but the trace of sarcasm in his eyes still couldn't help but flash.

The man in the middle continued to translate, "So please quickly inquire into whose hands this gem has fallen, so that they can go and fetch it again and present it to the Beast God King!"

The ghost Li who was hiding on the side suddenly moved in his heart, and he heard them mention the Heavenly Emperor Immortal Stone several times, could it be the strange stone that was swallowed by Xiao Ash?

At this time, I saw that the old man pondered for a moment, and then nodded and said, "Okay, this matter will be wrapped up in us, and within three days, we will give you an answer." ”

The mysterious man snorted, "twitter" said a few words, and the middle-aged man nodded to the old man and said, "The patriarch agreed, and said that he would meet here in three days." ”

The old man nodded, and before he could say anything, the mysterious man turned around and walked straight out, not looking at them at all, extremely arrogant and rude.

The old man's face changed, looking at the back of the mysterious man with an angry face, the middle-aged man hurriedly pulled him, shook his head again and again, the old man glanced at him, and then endured it.

After the tall figure of the mysterious man disappeared into the darkness, the old man suddenly "snorted" and scolded: "What is it, just a group of beasts!"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Uncle Shi, don't be angry, don't be like them." ”

The old man sneered, "I don't bother to pay attention to them," he said, turning his head to look at him, and said, "Speaking of which, Sun Tu, you have lived among those beasts for three years and learned their bird language, but you are afraid that you have suffered a lot, right?"

The middle-aged man called Sun Tu smiled and said: "The disciple is favored by the teacher, but the qualifications are shallow, and he is suffering from the inability to repay the love of the valley master and the uncles, just with this opportunity, the disciple dares not to do his best!"

Ghost Li suddenly heard the word "valley master", and his heart suddenly sank.

The senior uncle smiled, seemed to be very appreciative, stretched out his hand and patted Sun Tu's shoulder, and suddenly sneered: "Fortunately, Gu Master Mingjian knows that I have always been calm, so he sent me to meet these beasts, if that old guy from Shangguan Ce comes, it will be bad on the spot!"

Sun Tu laughed dryly, his expression was a little strange, and his mouth responded, but he didn't seem to dare to take a round of Shangguan Ce behind his back.

There is no doubt about the ghost on the side at this moment, Shangguan Ce is one of the top people in the "Incense Valley" in the south, although he has never walked in the world, but his reputation has been written early. Especially in the battle of Qingyun ten years ago, the ghost king even used a clever trick and sent Zhou Yin to pretend to be Shangguan Ce to plot against the monks of Tianyin Temple, and it really succeeded in one fell swoop, almost putting the two major factions of Qingyun and Tianyin to death. At that time, Ghost Li was still a Qingyun disciple named Zhang Xiaofan, and he was in the field, so he was naturally impressed by this name.

Listening to the two people calling the mysterious man a "beast", the identity of the mysterious person just now seemed to be about to come out, but the Incense Valley, which has always been righteous and awe-inspiring, revealed an incredible evil aura at this moment.

Ghost Li stared coldly at the two people in the main hall, and in the darkness, there was a cold and contemptuous sneer on the corner of his mouth.

In the middle of the field, the two discussed a few more words, Sun Tu blew out the candle flame in the hall, and the two walked out, apparently wanting to leave here. Ghost Li frowned in the dark, and when he was groaning, suddenly, a strange roar suddenly came from outside the ancient temple!

Everyone in the ancient temple was taken aback, and the old man and Sun Tu stopped at the same time.

The voice was poignant and angry, with a hint of panic in between, but it sounded like it was the roar of a beast, not a human. It was just a little bit of a discernment, and when he heard the voice, it seemed to be from the mysterious figure who was wrapped in a cloak just now, and his brows couldn't help frowning. At the same time, the old man and Sun Tu also heard it, and their faces suddenly changed greatly, and at the same time, they rose into the air and flew towards the outside of the temple.

Deep in the mountains and mountains, there are still people in ambush!

The moonlight was cold, as if the demonic color was heavier.

※※※

Beyond the ancient temple, behind a hill in the distance.

A purple ray, blooming in the night, rushed into the air, and then split.

Dozens of feet away, Ghost Li actually felt that trace of aura. The pupils of his eyes shrank, and in a moment he recognized what kind of magic weapon it was.

The two people from the Incense Valley flew in, but the old man's Taoism was obviously much higher than Sun Tu's, and it only took a while to pull Sun Tu down a few feet away, and at the same time, there was already a dark red fairy sword in his hand, and he flew towards the purple light.

But before he could fly behind the hill, he heard a loud roar, with despair, echoing in the dark night. The old man's face changed greatly, his feet became more urgent, and he flew over with a snort, and the ghost followed silently from the other direction, and went around the back of the hill.

A bloody breath came to his face. The cloak that was split in half slowly floated down from mid-air, dark red blood splashed everywhere, and the mysterious figure who showed his true body was indeed a fish-headed fish-man with a human body, but at this moment, he was born from head to crotch, split in half with a knife, and the body fell to the ground, but the murderer had disappeared.

The old man was shocked and angry, this murderer shot out to kill in an instant, and then disappeared invisibly, this Taoism is really extraordinary. Although he looked at these fishmen in his heart very unpleasantly, he knew that the valley lord and these barbarians really had a major matter to discuss, and this time they were sniped under their noses, and it was really difficult for him to explain if he was investigated there.

At this time, Sun Tu also rushed to the scene and saw this bloody image in his eyes, and was dumbfounded.

The old man's face was extremely ugly, and he suddenly rose up, with a dark red light at his feet, flew into the air, raised his eyes and looked around, but only saw that it was pitch black all around, and the vast forest sea, where could he find the murderer?

Suddenly, he shouted loudly: "Which master is here, please come out and see, Burning Incense Valley Lu Shun for advice!"

This voice spread far away, and after a while, in the forest and mountains, there was a faint echo coming back, and there was "Lu Shun asking for advice" everywhere...... Lu Shun asked for advice......"

But other than that, there is no sound.

Lu Shun's eyes were about to burst into flames, and after a while, he fell to the ground and said to Sun Tu: "You clean up the body of the patriarch and bring it back to the valley, the murderer will not be long in the future, he must still be nearby, I will dig three feet into the ground, and I will also find out this person." ”

Sun Tu nodded hurriedly and said, "Uncle be careful." ”

Before the words fell, Lu Shun had already risen and disappeared into the darkness of the woods. Sun Tu turned around and looked at the corpse that had been turned into two halves on the ground, and a bloody breath came to his nose, and he couldn't help but show a look of disgust, and snorted.

Ghost Li slowly retreated, muttered in the dark for a moment, and then glanced carefully at the surrounding terrain, and then his eyes fell on the ancient temple he had just come out of, and immediately swept over silently.

The night was cold, and the moon was covered by black clouds.

Although it was only a moment, the ancient temple suddenly seemed to be much darker and darker, and only the occasional moonlight peeking out of the black clouds would illuminate some places, but after a while, it would return to darkness.

Ghost Li walked out slowly, standing in the open space in front of the main hall, staring at the main hall with a pair of eyes.

The cold wind blew, and the broken windows made an eerie "creak" sound, whispering in the darkness.

"Childe is really powerful, I can hide it from Lu Shun, but I can't hide it from you!"

In the darkness of the main hall, a faint voice suddenly sounded, and gently floated out. (To be continued.) )
