Qingling Mountain is located at the southern end of the Yunmeng Continent, and the ground is connected to a majestic spiritual vein, so the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the immortal aura is dense, and it is a good place to cultivate the true Tao.

Qingling Mountain stretches for thousands of miles, the mountain is majestic and steep, there are many famous peaks, there are many powerful people or seclusion here, or open a sect, naturally lively and extraordinary, often can see the cultivator driving the crane to travel, or the sword flying, let the surrounding mountains and wilderness reckless people see, so that the heart is not rippling, call the gods down to earth.

Qingling Mountain has seventy-one famous peaks and three hundred and eighty-seven sects, among which there are three sects with the highest prestige and strongest strength. They are the Lingmiao Sect, the Heavenly Crafts Courtyard and the Exorcism Sect.

The Lingmiao School of Taoism is all-encompassing, with five major cultivation methods such as sword, body, pet control, alchemy, and wonderful law, which are displayed and mystical and mysterious, attracting villagers and even outsiders under the mountain to come and learn from teachers. The disciples in the sect are also the most numerous among the various sects in Qingling Mountain.

The Tiangong Courtyard is a branch of the 10,000-year-old Great Sect Tiangong Academy in the middle of the continent, which is powerful and mainly teaches the production of spiritual weapons, puppets, runes and various mechanisms and formations. The conditions for recruiting disciples in the Tiangong Academy are harsh, they must be ingenious and have spiritual roots, so the number of disciples is scarce, but due to the assistance of powerful spiritual weapons and puppets, each of them is powerful, and it is rare to encounter opponents in the same rank.

The Exorcism Sect is a veritable demon cultivation sect, and most of the Exorcism Sect uses methods such as summoning ghosts, refining ghosts, exorcising ghosts, and turning ghosts to enhance the strength of the sect, and the style of the sect's behavior, external relations and even architectural styles are very different from other sects of cultivation. It is rumored that the ancestor of the founding sect, the Ghost Barbarian Ancestor, entered the Yunmeng Continent from the outer regions, and finally lived in seclusion here to accept disciples. Most of the exercises of the Exorcism Sect use ghosts to enhance personal strength, and they have immediate effects at the beginning, and it is easier to see the results than other sects, so it has also attracted many people who are eager for quick success and quick profit to join them, and the disciples have uneven personalities. The principle of the people of the exorcism sect is that most of them are beneficial and not righteous, so the cases of disciples betraying their ancestors and forgetting their ancestors will happen almost every year.

Most of the other sects laughed at the Exorcism Sect for this, but the Exorcism Sect didn't care about it at all.

There are tens of thousands of peaks in Qingling Mountain, and seventy-one of them are called famous peaks because they are located at the eruption point of the underground spiritual veins, full of spiritual energy and vitality, and cultivators can cultivate on these peaks for one day, which can reach ten times that of other places.

Of the seventy-one famous peaks of Qingling Mountain, these three major sects occupied forty-two, and the remaining twenty were divided by another thirty-six, and the remaining nine famous peaks had triggered several great battles in which all the factions of Qingling Mountain participated. Finally, 1,800 years ago, a master from the middle of the continent mediated and proposed a method of resolving disputes over the once-in-a-century Nine Peaks Theory, which ended the dark age that lasted for thousands of years.

In addition, the aura of other peaks is slightly denser, and it is also occupied by many small sects.

Only the eighty peaks in the area of the Fu Demon Valley at the southernmost end of Qingling Mountain are forbidden areas for cultivation, and no one cares about them.

Because the environment here is very weird, as far as the eye can see, every mountain peak, every mountain range is lush, handsome and standing, there are spiritual grasses waving in the wind, and there are rare beasts jumping in the forest. However, the aura here is extremely thin, and when a cultivator enters this place, no matter how strong or weak the mana of the whole body is, it will disappear in a moment, and even the magic and Dao techniques cannot be used here.

Therefore, the Demon Valley became one of the seven forbidden areas of the Yunmeng Continent. Because of the name of the forbidden area, local cultivators are discouraged, but there are also many foreign cultivators who come here to explore and find secrets, hoping to discover strange treasures. But without exception, they all returned. Gradually, there are fewer and fewer cultivators who come to the area of Fu Demon Valley to hunt for treasures, but every year, there are still some cultivators who come here.

However, most of these people stayed on the edge of the Demon Valley for a while, and after feeling the mana in their bodies passing quickly, their faces would immediately change drastically, and they would fly away in a hurry, eager to get as far away from the Demon Valley as possible.

The road to cultivating truth is bumpy, and every step of the way, improving a realm, is tantamount to snatching food from the mouth of a tiger and stealing one's life against the sky, so no cultivator can accept the situation of losing one's mana and becoming an ordinary person. Even for a short moment, it will trigger their deepest panic.

However, there are always exceptions.

In the sky above the mighty city, a red light like an embroidery needle flew by, followed by two silver clusters of light.

The red light seems to be in a hurry to get rid of the silver light cluster, and keeps turning direction, but it is closely followed by the silver light cluster, and the silver light cluster will also release a bright thin line from time to time, and whenever this happens, the red light will be forced to change direction, obviously very afraid of bright light.

Seeing that the silver light was approaching, the red light paused slightly, and suddenly plummeted, flying towards a wooded valley. The two light clusters followed closely behind, but at the moment when they were about to fall into the valley, they suddenly rose up, and after circling around the edge of the valley a few times, they seemed to have made up their minds and fell into the valley again.

This valley is the well-known forbidden place for cultivation in Qingling Mountain, the Demon Valley.

At this time, in the valley of the Fu Demon, at the beginning of the bright moon, the light light is lightly sprinkled, covering many luxuriant plants with a layer of light green, just like a watercolor painting washed through the morning mist, revealing a quiet and tranquil atmosphere.

Xu Bufan quietly hid on a hundred-year-old cypress tree, and a pair of eyes as bright as stars stared at a faint shadow a hundred meters away, which was a well-hidden colorful giant tiger. Only those with very sharp eyes can see its body hidden in the bushes through the shadows of the trees.

The colorful giant tiger is four meters long, and it is also staring at a newly grown wild boar not far from the century-old cypress. The wild boar was keenly aware of the danger, and turned its head in panic, but one of its hind hooves seemed to be entangled in some kind of vine and plant, and could only flutter in place, unable to escape.

The colorful giant tiger looked at the desperate wild boar, and the light like a candle flame flashed in its pupils, but it did not rush to kill, but vigilantly observed the situation around the prey. As the hegemon of the valley, it didn't need to be so cautious, but in the past six months, an existence that could threaten it suddenly appeared in the valley. Two months ago, the most powerful character in the valley, the sika deer with the opening of the mind, was killed in its lair, and the blood containing precious spiritual power was spilled all over the ground. A month earlier, its nemesis, the Great Black Bear, had also disappeared, as if it had never existed in the valley.

The only one who can do this is the human child who grows up day by day.

Humans should be the creatures they are least afraid of. Because of the strange environment of the valley, any human entering the valley, even if it has the power of heaven outside, after a period of decline, will mostly become a weak creature. If they want to, they can always pounce on a mountain stream or bush and kill them by surprise.

But this human child is different, he grew up in the valley, and like them, he knows every plant and tree in the valley and knows how to avoid potential threats.

Like them, he's a very good hunter.

Time passed, and the boar still did not give up breaking free from the vines, but its strength became smaller and smaller, and it could only symbolically move its hind legs.

The colorful tiger did not smell anything strange from the air, nor did it see the hidden danger, so he stepped out of the bushes step by step, lowered his body, and slowly approached the wild boar lying on the ground panting.

Just a second before it was about to speed up to kill the wild boar, a small sound came from far and near, and a strange fragrance appeared in the air. The sudden situation made Xu Bufan, who was hiding on the big cypress tree, also stunned, his eyes showed a look of pity, and he slowly put down the round bow and arrow in his hand, ignoring the colorful giant tiger in front of him, but leaning his back against the trunk and looking behind him with agility.

Sure enough, the colorful giant tiger had also turned around and disappeared into the woods the moment he turned around.

As soon as Xu Bufan turned around, he saw a girl in red emerging from the branch of the old cypress tree where he was hiding. Her eyes were clear and bright, like a clear water, and after seeing Xu Bufan, she faintly looked surprised, and whispered, "You are a human being?"

Her voice was crisp and pleasant, like the tinkling of a spring in a valley, or like the soft chirping of a yellow bird in the early morning, mixed with the fragrance of virginity that came to his nose, pouring into the young man's heart, stirring up ripples, and making him lose his mind for a rare moment.

Xu Bufan opened his mouth, because he had never spoken to anyone other than his mother, he didn't know what to say for a while, only made a strange sound of "ahhhhhh

"Are you dumb?" The girl in red put away her surprised expression, looked Xu Bufan up and down, and then shook her head, her big eyes as bright as mist showed a look of pity and distress, and said softly, "You should have grown up in the valley since you were a child, isolated from the world, and can't speak human words." How did you end up here, just you, your family?"

Xu Bufan was about to explain, but when he saw the tenderness and love in the girl's eyes, he was stunned again. He looked at the girl in red blankly, and only felt that there was a woman in the world who was more beautiful than his mother.

"Hehe, you're such a fool. The girl in red saw Xu Bufan staring at her stunned, her face was also blushing, she glanced at Xu Bufan shyly, and then stretched out her slender jade finger and tapped Xu Bufan's forehead, "Do you see people like this? ”

After the girl finished speaking, she looked at Xu Bufan again, and when she saw the young man's dark and shiny skin, she didn't know what she thought, and said with a smile: "Hehe, I should call you a simple and black boy, so black, I don't have the qualifications to become a young man in this life." ”

Xu Bufan didn't hear a word of what the girl said. The moment the girl's fingers touched his forehead, his mind was like a bell roaring, booming, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble, as if it had been overpowered.

Everything in heaven and earth seemed to stand still at that moment. At that moment, it seemed to become an eternity.

"Uncle Shi, the demon girl led us here, so that you and I have no mana, is there any conspiracy, we might as well return to the sect now and bring more people to prevent accidents. ”

"Nonsense, the demon girl stole the treasures of my sect, you and I are on duty today, if she escapes, it will be a dereliction of duty for the two of us, and with the character of the master, it will easily bypass you and me. Returning to the sect now to move the rescue troops, wouldn't it give her a chance to escape. Our mana is draining, and the mana of the demon girl is not draining. ”

At this time, the direction from which the girl came, there was a faint sound of talking.

When the girl heard this, a nervous look flashed on her face, and she immediately lowered her voice and said: "Han boy, black boy, let's discuss something, wait for you to wait under the tree, if someone asks you if you have seen me, you say that you have seen me, they want to ask you where I have been, you tell them to go forward." ”

Xu Bufan saw the girl's nervous expression, and his innate alertness made him quickly sober up from the intoxication in the clouds and fog, and after listening to the girl's words, his eyes flashed, he thought about it, and nodded emphatically.

"Ah, can you understand me?" The girl suddenly remembered that Xu Bufan couldn't speak, and was about to gesture to him, when she saw Xu Bufan nodding, she asked happily.

Xu Bufan saw the happy smile on the face of the girl in red, and couldn't help but feel happy, a rare smile appeared on his face, nodded again, and then slid down the tree.

He stood under the tree, looked at a few places, suddenly his nose moved, sniffed around the tree, and then walked to the wild boar struggling to stand up, pulled out the sharp stone knife on his waist, cut the rough fur of the wild boar's neck, and a puff of red blood spurted out, splashing all over him.

Then he untied the vines that bound the boar and circled the tree half a circle, causing the boar's blood to spill all over the grass and gravel.
