readx;“ If I'm not mistaken, these 100-year-old pangolins were seen once in the mountains of the back mountains when I was collecting medicine with my master 30 years ago. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "The ancient daimyo listened to the master's arrangement, and then recalled. He has been a beginner for a long time, and when he was not successful in his early years, Shen Zili did not dare to let the ancient daimyo collect medicine alone, and every time he entered the mountain, he personally took them there.

Shen Zili nodded slowly, obviously very satisfied with the Gu Daimyo's rigorous work and memorization. That year, Shen Zili went into the mountains to collect medicine, and after searching for a long time, he did not find the elixir that Bao Bu wanted to die, and after he came back, he was scolded for a long time, and this incident is still fresh in his memory.

"Just then...... Just at the time...... Master and I found another elixir, but we never caught it. Gu Daimyo obviously remembered the incident when Shen Zili was scolded, so when he recalled this, he was a little stumbling in his speech, and he was reluctant to mention the past.

"I remember that Master said at that time that God has the virtue of a good life, and it is not easy for this pangolin to survive for a hundred years. "The ancient famous general remembers the details very clearly, so when Shen Zili mentioned the pangolin just now, he remembered the place where the pangolin haunted.

Shen Zili is the kindest of the few disciples who can't die, he is an amateur and honest, but he really loves his disciples. Not only did he regard the ancient daimyo and Du Qingshan as his own, even if Fang Zun didn't like Fang Zun very much at first, but since Fang Zun was witty and begged for the Tiger and Par Pill in front of Bao Immortal, Fang Zun's opinion of Fang Zun slowly changed.

Especially in the past few days, Fang Zun has been very diligent in the cultivation of True Qi and the Three Styles of Spirit Ape, and Shen Zili has begun to love Fang Zun more and more.

"Prepare yourself and go. Daimyo, be more careful, Fang Zun is your little junior brother, he has never been into the mountain, you must keep his safety in mind along the way, and never make any mistakes. Shen Zili's expression was solemn, and he made detailed arrangements for the ancient daimyo.

This going into the mountains to collect medicine is a chore, not only to reach a certain level of true qi, but also to reach a certain foundation of the spirit ape three forms.

Not so, the surrounding environment, terrain, weather, all should not be rash. If it weren't for Fang Zun's fruitful cultivation, Shen Zili would never dare to let Fang Zun enter the mountain.

Mo Sichan had already prepared the dry food and handed it over to Fang Zun and the ancient daimyo.

The two said goodbye to the master and the mother, and set off on the road. Before going out, Shen Bao'er also joked with Fang Zun: "I am your senior sister, but my father has never let me enter the mountain." Not long after you came, my father allowed you to enter the mountain, which really me off. ”

Gu Daming comforted Shen Bao'er on the side: "Senior sister, don't be angry, you are a noble person, let the senior brothers do this kind of hard work of rock climbing and medicine collection." ”

Shen Bao'er is just willful and naughty, but she doesn't know Shen Zili's hardships. When you go into the mountains to collect medicine, you must go with at least two people, and you should take care of each other. Except for Shen Bao'er, all of these subordinates are men, how can Shen Zili let his daughter go into the mountains and be alone with the man for a few days or even more than a month.

Besides, this going into the mountains to collect medicine is indeed a hard errand, not to mention the steepness along the way, there is no fixed place to live, and it is really miserable to sleep in the open air. Shen Baoer is Shen Zili's only daughter, and she is usually pampered, and for many years, Shen Baoer has practiced Qi refining just by virtue of her own interest, and when she is happy, she will practice most of the time just playing.

Fang Zun saw that Shen Bao'er was slightly displeased, so he said, "Senior Brother and I go to the mountain, if there are any new things to play with, how about I bring them back and give them to you?"

"Really?" Shen Bao'er was very happy when she heard Fang Zun's promise, clapped her hands and said, "It's not in vain that Senior Sister takes care of you a lot on weekdays, and you have a conscience." ”

It's just that when he said this, Du Qingshan was also on the side, looking at Shen Bao'er and Fang Zun's sincere words, his heart was jealous, and his face changed immediately, and he didn't distinguish from Gu Daming and Fang Zun, and turned his head away.

Fang Zun didn't care, and after saying goodbye to Shen Bao'er, he set off with the ancient daimyo.

As soon as I got out of the courtyard, I walked up the mountain road, which was fairly flat, but when I walked through the woods, the road was already bumpy.

Fortunately, Fang Zun's physique already has a foundation, and he walks vigorously, which is not bad. Gu Daming didn't say anything all the way, and at this time he chatted with Fang Zun and said, "What did you do before you came to Mount Meru?"

Fang Zun talked about himself in detail before, but he avoided talking about the "Heroic Poetry Collection" and the golden python. The ancient daimyo listened with great envy and said, "I have been on this Mount Meru all these years, and I have hardly descended the mountain. If he has the opportunity one day, I also want to go down the mountain to see those flower worlds. ”

Fang Zun asked him, "How long has it been since Senior Brother came down the mountain?"

Gu Daimyo thought for a while and said, "I can't remember the specifics, but on weekdays, if Master orders me to go into the mountain, I will go into the mountain to collect medicine." If nothing else, then practice in the master's door. ”

"Have you ever drunk that fine wine?" Fang Zun thought to himself, it would be better to deliberately tease this senior brother.

Gu Daiming said: "I still drank it before entering the master's door, if you don't say it, you don't want to." When you mention drinking now, my heart is itching again. ”

Fang Zun laughed, and immediately responded: "When I have the opportunity to go down the mountain, how about I invite my senior brother to drink for three days?"

Gu Daming nodded in agreement, and suddenly Fang Zun talked about fine wine, and the wine worms in his stomach were troubled, so he happened to walk to a mountain spring, drank a few sips of the mountain spring, and drank it as a fine wine.

"Where are pangolins in the back mountain?" Fang Zun looked at the trend, the surroundings were getting more and more remote, and there were no traces of people.

"The back mountain is not far ahead, but you have to pass through the maze cave, one of the several forbidden places in Mount Meru, so the road is not easy to walk. "The ancient daimyo knew all the other places of Mount Meru, but he was extremely unfamiliar with these forbidden places.

These forbidden places have been the rule of Mount Meru for generations, and no one is allowed to enter unless they are promised by an elder. There were disciples who had good deeds before, and without promise, they entered the fierce valley, the dangerous beach, the maze cave, the yin mountains, the evil peak, and the cliff, and these people either died sideways or disappeared without a trace.

It is said that these dangerous places were cursed by the founding patriarch of Mount Meru, and if you enter these places without the prayer of an elder-level person, you will be cursed to death.

This back mountain has to pass through the maze cave, so the ancient daimyo has not been promised, and this back mountain has never been visited. The last time I followed Shen Zili to this back mountain for decades, I am not very familiar with the ancient name of this back mountain.

"Let's go to the back mountain, do we want to go through the maze cave?" Fang Zun was very curious about these forbidden places, but knowing the rules that forbidden places could not be entered casually, he had no choice but to feel itchy in his heart, but he didn't dare to obey easily.

"Not really. Gu Daiming smiled: "We go to this back mountain, but we have to pass through the mouth of the mysterious cave." The entrance of the cave is as big as the courtyard gate, and I heard that there is no day in the maze cave, and there are countless forks in the road, and there are many obstacles and maggots all over the place during the period, so no one dares to enter casually. ”

"How did the maze hole come about?" Fang Zun had no interest in pangolins at the moment, and wanted to inquire about the origin of the maze cave.

The ancient daimyo also took the trouble and said: "I heard that there was a master in the cave back then, and he said that it was a natural cave, but no one entered it anymore, and I don't understand the origin." ”

The old daimyo pointed to the road ahead and said, "Turn that col and you'll be the entrance to the cave." After the entrance of the cave, after turning over a mountain range, there is the back mountain. ”

"How deep is that mysterious cave?" Fang Zun thought that if there was no ancient daimyo with him, he would go to the entrance of the cave to have a look, even if he was cursed, he would not enter it, just take a look at the entrance of the cave, it should not be okay. Look at how much mystery there is in that labyrinth.

"The maze is unfathomable, and when you enter the maze, it gradually descends, winding for hundreds of miles, and no one knows where it leads to the deepest part. "The ancient daimyo knew very little about the mysteries, and these were only known by the people who heard about them.

Fang Zun was bent on seeing each other, so he stepped up his steps and secretly took a leap of clouds.

The ancient daimyo's foot strength was already very fast, and he collected medicine all year round, and the wind was born under his feet, and he walked lightly. Walking with Fang Zun this time, Gu Daming thought that Fang Zun's feet were not strong, so he deliberately walked slower. Unexpectedly, this little junior brother suddenly sped up his pace, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed forward a few feet.

The ancient daimyo stopped talking and secretly stepped up.

It's just that no matter how much you catch up, you can't catch up with your superiors. Gu Daming sighed in his heart, this little junior disciple has not been practicing for a long time, and the spirit ape is not very pure, why is it that he is walking so fast?

The ancient daimyo naturally didn't know that Fang Zun was making the Tengyun step of the side sect, which was a set of extremely famous steps, although the ancient daimyo's foot strength was fast, but after all, it was a daily walk, how could he catch up with the upper venerable.

However, Fang Zun ran for a few feet, and saw that the ancient daimyo behind him couldn't catch up, and when he looked back, he saw that the ancient daimyo was already panting, so he slowly put down his steps and went hand in hand with the ancient daimyo.

The two ran for more than an hour and turned the col. The old daimyo pointed to the entrance of a cave with abrupt rocks and said, "That is the entrance to the cave." ”

Fang Zun saw that the entrance was halfway up the mountainside, and it looked steep and abrupt, as if a fierce beast had opened its bloody mouth, which made people shudder. But like this, Fang Zun became more and more curious, and immediately wanted to go and see it with Gu Daming.

In the end, the ancient daimyo was still cautious, obeyed the teacher's order to go to the back mountain, and refused to go to the maze cave without saying anything. And said sternly: "Little junior brother, you have to follow the rules of the door, these forbidden places, you can't go without a promise, if there are three long and two short, how do you let me explain to the master?"

Fang Zun saw that Gu Daming was talking right, so he didn't dare to mention the maze cave again, so he had to follow Gu Daming to speed up his pace and run towards the back mountain.

The two of them made another hurried journey, and finally entered the back mountain.

At this time, the moon was already in the sky, and the sky was full of stars. Fang Zun asked the ancient daimyo how to arrange it at night. But the old daimyo pointed to some big trees and said, "Go and sleep on the trees." ”

"On the tree?" Fang Zun couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "I'm not a monkey, how can I live in a tree?"

But the ancient daimyo jumped on a big tree and said: "This mountain is full of poisonous insects, extremely damp, you and I spend the night on the ground, we may die in the middle of the night, or live in the tree safely." ”

Fang Zun had no choice but to follow up the tree, but fortunately, the spirit ape had a slight foundation in his arms and practice, and it was easy to climb by holding on to the branches.

The two slept all night, and the next day they were awakened by the birdsong in the mountains, and Gu Daimyo and Fang Zun had just gotten down the tree, but they saw a figure flash in front of them.
