This picture does not belong to anyone alone, the two guards standing not far from Leng Xiao also saw this picture. One of them said, "This ...... Isn't this the Nine Steps Forest?"

Leng Xiao's heart moved, and he asked, "Nine Steps Forest?"

The other person replied: "Exactly, I clearly saw a few poisonous weeds on the ground, those things, only the Nine Steps Forest has. ”

Hearing this, Leng Xiao asked these two about the situation of the Nine Steps Forest, and the two of them were extremely polite and knew everything in the face of him, a disciple of Purple Heart Mountain, but they didn't expect that in fact, this powerful monk in their eyes was weaker than them.

The nine-step forest, located ten miles west of the city of Inviting the Wind City, is connected with the forest next to it, and there is no difference on the surface, but there are a lot of poisonous weeds in it for some reason, and there are hundreds of kinds of good medicine people who have identified, not to mention hundreds of kinds.

And the person who was good at medicine only walked into the nine-step forest for a few miles, and he didn't dare to go any deeper. In addition to his ability to make good medicines, he is also a monk with extremely strong cultivation, if he is replaced by an ordinary person, once he sets foot in the nine-step forest, within nine steps, he will definitely die.

These nine steps do not refer to distance, but to time. In other words, even if you take a step and stop where you are, or stop going deeper and go backwards, you will not escape death.

After the death of many people, this nine-step forest has become a forbidden place known far and near, at first it was to invite the wind city to set up a stone tablet outside as a warning, and later, the people who have been walking nearby all the year round are afraid of accidentally stepping in, so they simply set up a stone tablet directly, connected it, like a threshold.

A guard said: "This little brother, I heard that two years ago, the sect master of the Turning Sea Sect set foot in the nine-step forest and was also sick in bed for six months, and he almost died, so it's better not to set foot on it!"

The other person also nodded earnestly: "Exactly, there must be a thief bullying the little brother, you outsiders don't know how powerful Jiubu Lin is, and deliberately lure you in!"

In their opinion, even if the Purple Heart Mountain is declining, its strength should not be underestimated, even if there are fewer disciples, the number of top monks is also above the Turning Sea Sect, the Shadow Palace, and the Twin Sword Sect, so the thief who secretly deceived him must not be able to defeat Leng Xiao head-on, so he used such a despicable trick.

And inviting Wind City to be protected by Purple Heart Mountain, they felt that it was incumbent on them to remind Leng Xiao at this moment, seeing that Leng Xiao was still a little eager to try, they almost didn't break their mouths.

"Little brother, in the picture just now, looking at the density of poisonous weeds, it must be in the depths, not to mention that it will take a few miles to go out......"

"Don't worry, I'm not going in, I'm just going to see. ”

The two glanced at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and thought that if Leng Xiao didn't come back before dark, they would go to the city guard to inform them.

Leng Xiao recalled Fang Cai's situation, the target of the firefly should not be him, or rather, not exactly him. The firefly was attracted by his Purple Heart Mountain identity token.

"Such a simple spell as the messenger spirit worm is already so weak, if it doesn't happen to meet me, it will dissipate before you meet the next disciple of Purple Heart Mountain, it can be seen that the state of the spell caster himself is not ideal. ”

"To come up with such a picture, there is a prerequisite – to see it with your own eyes. ”

Leng Xiao thought as he walked quickly towards the west: "A monk who has the strength to walk a few miles deep in the nine-step forest, why would he use this kind of childish trick to design the disciples of Purple Heart Mountain? Or is his purpose not to harm people, but to pass on information to save himself?"

"Could it be that a certain division commander was seriously injured when he chased and killed the Shadow Palace, and fled into the nine-step forest in a panic?"

Jiubu Forest is located ten miles away from the west of the city, and with Leng Xiao's physical strength, it will undoubtedly take a lot of time to walk, so he rented a horse. This horse is a good horse, and it is estimated that it is easy to travel thousands of miles a day, and it seems to be able to gain insight into the physical state of the owner, and it runs very smoothly and does not bumpy.

As the two guards said, the nine-step forest was surrounded by a circle of stone tablets, and the so-called stone tablets were also some fragmentary stones. Next to it, there is a really tall stone stele, about one zhang and five points, with three words on it: Nine steps of forest.

There are small words in the corner: Poisonous weeds are everywhere in the nine-step forest, and there is a miasma shrouded in the depths, mortals are exempt from entering, and monks should be cautious!

Looking down, within the scope of the Nine Steps Forest, the color of the land is really different, showing a dark purple color, and the initiators of the poison are poisonous weeds and poisonous miasma.

"What a forbidden place!"

The horse was already a little restless, and refused to take a step forward, and even pulled Leng Xiao to prevent him from approaching. Leng Xiao is by no means ignorant of the importance of the matter, and he knows that this place is not something he can set foot in.

"That's it, it's better to go back to Purple Heart Mountain first!"

The monks above the golden pill have the ability to go to heaven and enter the earth, while the disciples who practice qi and build a foundation usually have to use some spiritual treasures and even spirit beasts if they want to go down the mountain.

Leng Xiao immediately returned to Invite Wind City, and the two guards seemed to be relieved to see Leng Xiao return safely.

As a city where monks are stationed, there were mortals and monks who were fighting iron in the past, and there were mortals who lived and guarded for a long time, and there were also monks who came and went, and there were naturally a lot of trades in the face of monks.

The beast tamer at the Spirit Beast Station is a monk who is not low. Hearing that Leng Xiao was heading to Purple Heart Mountain, he didn't raise his eyelids, only stretched out a finger.

Leng Xiao symbolically threw a spirit stone to him, and the old man lifted the broken hat, and immediately blew his beard and glared: "You little baby, aren't you a pastime old man?"

Leng Xiao said very calmly: "Exactly." ”

Lao Er was even more angry, and almost pulled his beard off, looking at the cold clothes of the disciples of Purple Heart Mountain, before he retracted the raised slap.

"One hundred spirit crystals, one less will not wait!"

There are more than ten spirit beasts in the post station, as well as dozens of ordinary horses, and most of the business done on weekdays is mortal business.

The flying spirit beasts are uneven, they are all birds with low cultivation, of course, it is for the former Leng Xiao. Nowadays, it is not easy for him to stabilize himself from falling.

During the flight, he ordered the big bird under him several times to fly more steadily and slower.

After arriving at Purple Heart Mountain, the spirit beast flew back by itself, without worrying about him.

flew directly to the top of the mountain, saving Leng Xiao the pain of walking the ladder.

Leng Xiao kept going all the way to the main hall. On the way, I sometimes heard my disciples talking about the Shadow Hall and the Holy Envoy, and I probably heard some rumors.

"Disciple Leng Xiao, ask to see a few teachers!"

"Come in!"

If there is a need to deal with the door, most of the division commanders will be in the main hall. What Leng Xiao didn't expect was that the person who answered the voice turned out to be Cangjin Dao Chief.

In the hall, there are a total of ten people in charge and the master, and there are all of them here, and there are many of them.

In the middle of the hall, there was a headless corpse on the ground, which was none other than Lan Mo Jin Yao.

Daoist Cangjin was still breathing, and it seemed that he had just arrived.

"Leng Xiao, what's your matter?"

At such a juncture, it can be seen that Daoist Cangjin is still a little irritable, but his tone is very kind.

"Dare to ask the master, is there a rear division sent out in the door that has not yet returned?" There are many nine division commanders, Leng Xiao will no longer ask this question, and with the cultivation of some rear divisions ranked upstream, they are also capable of stepping into the Nine Step Forest.

Although he didn't know why Leng Xiao had this question, Daoist Cangjin still replied first: "This time I killed Tiansha, but I went with the third, fifth, and ninth junior brothers, and I didn't bring the rear master, so only the Jiang Houshi who tracked down first suffered some injuries, and it was not fatal. In addition to this, there are a few rear divisions guarding the city far away, and I don't think you asked. ”

Cangjin Dao Chang didn't know the reason for the incident, but he also thought that it should be related to the matter of Tiansha killing the holy envoy.

Leng Xiao also knew that the person who was chasing was the Heavenly Demon who ranked first in the Thirteen Evils of the Shadow Palace.

The head of the Fallen Leaf Dao said angrily: "Although the four evils are dead, they have not been able to leave the heavenly evils behind, and let the tiger return to the mountain, I don't know how many disasters will be left!"

Mu Xiu Dao Chang persuaded: "Tiansha cultivation is not weaker than you and me, and it is not easy to kill. ”

Cangjin Daoist asked again, but Leng Xiao was a little confused, that is to say, the person who was trapped in the nine-step forest was not the person of Purple Heart Mountain!

He turned his head to the corpse on the ground, stepped forward quickly, and took the corpse's arm and probed: "I see, no wonder the breath of the fireflies is a little familiar, it turned out to be him." ”

"Leng Xiao, what did you find?"

Leng Xiao said: "If the disciple expected, the real holy envoy is not dead, but now the situation is also not optimistic, and the head of the sect and the masters must be rescued." ”

"What did you say?" Cangjin Daoist breathed a little shorter.

"Is this really the case?" The person who brought this corpse back was the Ninth Division Commander Le Xidao, and he walked to the corpse, but he still couldn't find the clue for a while.

A light flashed in Daoist Cangjin's eyes, and he praised: "What a clever method, it is worthy of the Holy Palace of Conscience!"

I saw that with a flick of his sleeves, with unparalleled destructive power, the corpse shattered like a mirror, leaving only a shriveled holy robe.

"The Holy Clothes of Conscience, it turned out to be a life-saving spiritual treasure, this is the golden cicada's shelling technique!" said Cangjin Dao Chang.

Daoist Le Xi was the most surprised: "Even we can hide it, and it's not uncommon to be able to hide it." Leng Xiao, you just said that the situation of the Holy Envoy is not optimistic, do you know where he is?"

"Nine step forest. ”

Lexi Daoist was confused, but people who often descended the mountain such as the deciduous Daoist and Muxiu Daoist had heard of it.

"Nine-step forest, it is said that a fierce place, mortals will die within nine steps of poisoning, and even Nie Linxi's old thing has suffered in nine-step forest. ”

Daoist Cangjin immediately said: "Since this is the case, then without further ado, I will go and see for myself." ”

"Don't hide it from the master, it was the disciple who happened to receive the messenger spirit worm sent by the holy envoy and saw a picture. ”

"Okay, I'll take you with me!"

Cangjin Dao Changdao is also a vigorous and resolute person, without saying a word, he rolled up Leng Xiao and flew away, and in the blink of an eye, he was thousands of miles away.

In front of the nine-step forest, he said: "I have also heard of this nine-step forest, and it is really famous, even if the ninth junior brother comes, it may not last long." ”
