The costumes of the people of the steppes were very different from those of Dongtu and Zhongzhou, the men wore fur hats and knee-length robes, which were adorned with wild animal fur, and the women wore long robes with large sleeves and bright colors, and their bodies were adorned with various accessories, and their hair was knotted into countless small long braids, which were scattered over their shoulders like flowing water.

One of the old men with white hair and wrinkles came forward, with a pious expression, his right hand on his chest, and muttered something, but Tan Yang didn't understand a word.

Feng Wanli's ancestral home in the Western Regions can understand the dialect and local language, and explained to everyone: "He said that his name is Batuyin, and he is a shaman on the grassland, and he welcomes us as guests." ”

After speaking, Feng Wanli also touched his chest with his right hand and said something in a mumbled voice.

The steppe herders have always been hospitable, and Batuyin warmly led them into the largest tent in the middle of the camp, which was covered with embroidered felt, and everyone sat on the ground.

After a while, several herdsmen brought mellow butter tea, strong mare's milk wine, fragrant barley and tsampa, and several large pots of steaming fragrant finger meat.

Since leaving Qianju Lake in Qizi Mountain, Tan Yang and the others have not eaten such a sumptuous hot meal for a long time, and they can't help but feast. Even Zhong Tianshi and Feng Wanli drank mare's milk wine and ate some finger meat, and the Zen master did not abstain from meat and vegetarian food, but just tasted a little barley and tsamba.

After a full meal and wine, the herdsmen enthusiastically retained them, and decided not to rush to the road, but to rest here for the night. The elder Batuyin and a few herdsmen packed up two tents for the guests to stay.

On a grassland winter night, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, the horse-head qin is clear and melodious, and the occasional wolf howl comes from the distant sky. There is a sense of ancient longitude and desolation, which makes people feel that the world is open. There are many thoughts.

Under a grassy slope under the moonlit night, Tan Yang and Hu Mei'er stood opposite each other.

"Alright. I've already set up the Illusion Mist Array. Hu Mei'er said, "As long as there are no earth-shattering visions, it shouldn't alarm Zhong Tianshi and them, and you can start." ”

Tan Yang nodded, and took out the cloud crystal square box that was as black as ink from the Qiankun bag.

This cloud crystal square box was originally placed in the thatched hut behind the moon gate in the Hongmeng Micro Thousand Realms, and at that time, Aunt Nineteen had confessed that this box could only be opened after it reached the boundary of the Western Regions, but since entering the Western Regions, Tan Yang has not been given the opportunity to open the box. Today has finally arrived.

On the cloud crystal box, there was a golden seal, and the seal was painted with countless strange runes.

With strong curiosity, Tan Yang carefully tore off the golden seal......

After a good night's sleep, everyone regained their bodies and energy, and after replenishing fresh water and food under the guidance of Batuyin, the group took their leave and set off.

It's a cold winter, and the weather is getting colder and colder. After more than seven months of trekking through mountains and rivers, Tan Yang and his party finally arrived at the foot of Yin Mountain in the Western Regions from the coast of the East China Sea.

The Yinshan Mountains stretch for tens of thousands of miles, entrenched in the northwest border of the Western Regions, bordering Xiniuhezhou. The lofty mountains of the Yinshan Mountains are towering into the clouds. It acts as a natural barrier to the cold currents in the south and the humidity in the north. Therefore, the climate in the north and south of Yinshan is very different, and the rain at the southern foot is relatively abundant. It is warm and humid, the forest is verdant, and the northern foot is surrounded by cliffs. Snow all year round, birds and beasts are extinct.

"Thousands of dragons are ghostly. Brahma Sect of Ten Thousand Flowers smiled. ”

The world-famous Xiuzhen Great Sect is located at the southern foot of the Yinshan Mountain Range.

The underworld sect has a long history, and it is on a par with the Eastern Tu Linghai Pavilion. The sword of the underworld sect is on the sidelines, mainly cultivating the truth with the yin and yang ghost path, and teaching no less than hundreds of thousands of disciples, not only occupying all the caves and blessed lands in the entire Yinshan Mountain Range, but also setting up countless branches and rudders in the eastern soil, southern wilderness, northern Xinjiang and Zhongzhou.

The Underworld Sect has always acted both right and evil, and the good and bad members of the sect are uneven, so there has always been a lot of criticism.

During the first intercontinental war 6,000 years ago, the leader of the Underworld Sect, Yin Ziqi, led the Underworld Sect to fight bloodily under the command of Zhong Tianling of Linghai Pavilion, and successfully resisted the joint invasion of Xiniuhe Continent, Southern Ganbu Continent and Northern Julu Continent.

While the people of the Underworld Sect have made immortal achievements, they have also paid a heavy price of casualties, and even the eight great guardian kings are only three.

After the war, the Yinzi Period Sect Master ascended to immortality with Zhong Tianling and the other six great monks of the Great Chu Dynasty's cultivation realm, becoming one of the "Eight Immortals" of the eternal world.

Three thousand years ago, in the second intercontinental war, the alien races of the three continents invaded again.

The Eight Great Guardian Dharma Kings of the Yin Nine Shadow Sect of the Sect of the Underworld Sect formed an alliance with Zhang Chongyang of the Wuji Sect in Northern Xinjiang, and united the Tianma Spirit Clan on the Elechuan Prairie and the Golden Eyed Eagle Clan in Kunxu Mountain and other demon tribes, and jointly led the Dongsheng Divine Continent Cultivation Realm to conquer the four corners of the world. In fact, back then, the power of the Underworld Sect was far above the Wuji faction, but Yin Jiuyou was willing to lie in wait and assist Zhang Chongyang as a deputy.

Yin Jiuyou is not only magical, but also knowledgeable, strategic, omniscient in astronomy and geography, omnipotent in arranging troops, and is actually an ancient wizard with the ability to pass through the heavens and latitudes.

It's just that the means of Yin Jiuyun are decisive and cruel, a ten thousand souls ancient flag in hand, on the battlefield to search for tens of millions of souls, the ancient flag has been refined into a magic weapon that shocks the world and weeps ghosts and gods, and when it is used, the ghosts cry and the gods howl, and the heavens and the earth are discolored.

In the battle of Mobiangle, which attacked Beiju Luzhou, the zombie ancestor Houqing and Houning father and daughter of the zombie clan in Beiju Luzhou, the wolf king ancestor of the werewolf clan won and abandoned the father and son, and the four major monks joined forces to fight against Yin Jiuyou alone. It only lasted more than three hours of fighting, and in the end, except for the seriously injured Ying Qi who escaped with a magic weapon, the souls of the other three were sealed on the Ten Thousand Souls Ancient Banner by Yin Jiuyou with the Great Law of Soul Refining!

The four leaders of the cultivation realm of Beiju Luzhou were defeated in a battle, and the army of eight million zombies and werewolves laid down their arms and surrendered. Because the northern Xinjiang has been bullied and killed by zombies and werewolves for many years, and has formed a deep feud in the sea of blood, Zhang Chongyang and Yin Jiuyou do not accept the surrender of the enemy army, regardless of men, women and children, all of them are killed, and the corpses are piled up into mountains and burned, and the candle sky is on fire, and it will be extinguished in March.

Later, Zhang Chongyang was tortured by the heavenly punishment on the bank of the Luonatuo River in Xiniu Hezhou because of too much karma, and the Yin Jiu Yu self-detonation of the Ten Thousand Souls Ancient Banner helped, and the soul of the zombie ancestor Houqing's father and daughter and the wolf king Yinggou were able to escape.

After the end of the war and the death of Zhang Chongyang, Yin Jiu was gloomy and sad, and he did not want to be detained in the world anymore. With great magical powers, he helped another alliance with the main force of the Tianma Ling clan of the Lechuan Tianma Ling Clan, and the king of the heavenly horse succeeded in crossing the clouds, and one person and one horse flew into immortals, leaving a thousand years of merits, and a descendant commented.

Since then, the Yinshan Cult has been dominating the northwest border, echoing with the Wuji Sect in the Qingtianling Mountains in the northern frontier, so that the gods of the Temple of Light in Xiniu Hezhou, the vampire blood clan of the Dark Sect, and the zombie and werewolf clans in the northern Luzhou do not dare to covet it again.

On the horizon at the end of the grassland, the towering Yinshan Mountains have come into view.

At the foot of Yin Mountain, there is a 10,000-year-old ancient city of Luhuang City.

The scale of Luhuang City is not as large as Tianlan City, but the radius is also hundreds of miles, with dense buildings and thousands of weather. The snow water flowing down from the snow peak of Yin Mountain converges into a big river, called Yili River, the river water is clear, and it flows through the center of Luhuang City, adding a lot of aura to this pearl of the grassland.

At dusk, the sky was overcast, and the sky was full of clouds, and there were already scattered snowflakes.

The demon whale flying ship landed on the outskirts of Lu Huang City, and Zhong Tianshi said while collecting the ship: "The Underworld Sect is in the Senluo Peak of the Yinshan Mountain Range, from Lu Huang City to Senluo Peak is less than three hundred miles, let's rest in this city tonight, replenish food and water, and go to worship the mountain early tomorrow morning." ”

Everyone had no objection and marched slowly into the city. I saw that the city was bustling with people, and the shops on both sides of the street were lined up, lively and prosperous, similar to the city of Dongtu Zhongzhou, but the pedestrians were very differently dressed, most of them rode camels or horses, and their words were different, revealing a strong prairie atmosphere. The New Year is approaching, many people are buying New Year's goods, and the city already has a bit of a lively New Year's flavor.

Everyone settled in an inn called Jufulou on the bank of the Yili River and chartered an elegant courtyard. In view of the fact that Zhong Hongying and Hu Meier's natural appearance is too amazing, everyone no longer goes out, and only eats and stays in the inn.

After the arrangement was made, it was already night, and the goose-feather-like snow was getting denser and denser, and it was getting bigger and bigger, like cotton, and the whole Luhuang City became a world of Qionglou Yuyu.

It snowed heavily all night. Early the next morning, the wind finally stopped and the snow stopped, the clouds opened and the sun rose, the sun seemed to be afraid of the cold, and hung in the sky in the cold wind, the sun seemed to have been chilled, without a trace of heat, perfunctory sprinkled down, the air was so fresh that it choked people's lungs.

The entire city of Lu Huang was covered in snow, and the snow on the streets was more than half a foot thick. The willow locust tree, which has lost its leaves, is full of fluffy and shiny silver stripes, and the evergreen green pines and cypresses are piled up with fluffy snowballs, like thousands of trees and pear blossoms.

After washing, Zhong Tianshi led everyone to leave Lu Huang City, and after more than half a year of hard work, Tan Yang and Hu Mei'er were both nervous and excited while looking forward to it, and Zhong Hongying was nervous and uneasy in her heart, this Yin Mountain Underworld Sect was the last stop of her journey, if she couldn't solve the danger and hang upside down, maybe it would also be the last stop of her life.

Walking to a secluded place on the outskirts of Luhuang City, Zhong Tianshi sacrificed the Demon Whale Flying Ship and the Golden Armor Puppet, and everyone boarded the ship in turn and slowly flew into the sky.

Looking down from the sky, I saw that the wasteland had turned into a snow-capped snowfield, and the world had become dusty. The boundaries between heaven and earth are blurred, and the vast snowfields reflect the sunlight in a strong and dazzling way.

The biting wind swept by, and wisps of snow mist whistled on the snow surface, and the jade-like snow foam drifted away with the wind, and was illuminated by the sun into a brilliant and colorful rainbow.

In the cold winter, the wind in the air is especially cold and biting, and the demon whale flying ship does not dare to fly too high and too fast. Fortunately, the distance was not far, and it didn't take them an hour to fly to the Yinshan Mountain Range, where the Underworld Sect was located.

Looking down from the air, the peaks of Yinshan Mountain are towering, and all the above the mountain are covered with white snow that has not melted for thousands of years, but below the snow line is a verdant forest.

At the beginning of the day after the snow, the fog in the mountains is ethereal, hazy, like a fairyland.

The Demon Whale Flying Ship had just flown close to the sky above the Yinshan Mountain Range, only to hear the voice of an old man who was unpredictable from afar: "Who is the Taoist friend coming to this sect? Please wait a moment or two." ”
