It was not yet dawn, and it was dark in the wilderness of a hundred thousand li, but the sun had already shone on Jianmen Mountain. I saw clouds curling up and auspicious clouds floating in the middle of this strange mountain, and the sun first fell on the golden top of the mountain.
The golden-roofed glazed hall bursts out with golden light, illuminating the sea of clouds, which is extremely eye-catching.
And among the mountains surrounded by the sea of clouds, the majestic and simple halls seem to be floating above the sea of clouds, sacred, solemn and solemn.
This is the one hundred thousand li wilderness, the common holy land of three thousand human tribes, Jianmen!
Qi refiners of Jianmen come out in large numbers, guarding the great wilderness of a hundred thousand miles, and all the people of the three thousand human tribes regard it as the highest honor to be the Qi refiners of Jianmen.
The environment of the Great Wilderness is harsh, the human race is weak, and there is no sword gate to guard the Great Wilderness. I am afraid that the 3,000 tribes have already been wiped out.
The mountain gate is towering, and behind the mountain gate is the habitat of Jianmen's beginner disciples, where tens of thousands of beginner disciples live.
There are quite a lot of qi refiners in Jianmen, and the three thousand tribes sent young girls from the tribe to study arts in the mountains. Most of them live here if they don't have a strong background. And tribes with background often have Qi refiners in Jianmen, who can directly send their children into their sect.
Zhong Yue got up early, stood shirtless at the edge of the well, fetched a bucket of water, poured it over his head, and then shivered violently to drive away the drowsiness.
The clear water slipped from his body and splashed on the bluestone board.
His muscles were strong and his figure was well-proportioned. His skin stretched tightly over his muscles, making him look very powerful. On his chest, there were three deep claw marks, which were left by unknown beasts and were already scarred.
Zhong Yue turned around, and there were also claw marks on his back, and a scar left by a beast bite on his left arm. There were more than a dozen large and small scars on his body, and he didn't look like a young man at all. Fifteen-year-old boy.
Zhong Yue picked up the medicine basket, quietly walked out of the mountain gate, and walked down the mountain.
The status of the disciples of the outer sect is extremely low, and what they can learn is only some of the most superficial skills of the sword sect. Only by cultivating spiritually can they become the registered disciples of the inner sect, worship under the sect master of the inner sect, and obtain the true inheritance of the sword sect . But how difficult is it for an outer disciple with no background to become a registered disciple of the inner sect
There are 3,000 human tribes in the Great Wilderness, the small tribe has tens of thousands of people, and the big tribe has millions of people. Countless people have sharpened their heads and drilled into Jianmen. Competition is fierce.
Jianmen has the rules of Jianmen. If you can't cultivate into a spirit before the age of sixteen, you will be kicked out of Jianmen. The children of the patriarchs of the big and small tribes in the wilderness naturally have all kinds of elixir and panacea to improve their cultivation and cultivate their children to become spiritual before the age of sixteen.
Even with ordinary aptitude, as long as there are enough elixirs and elixirs, one can become a Qi Refiner by relying on elixirs and elixirs!
The children of other poor and common people do not have this treatment, and can only rely on their own hard work.
It is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son, and few people from poor families can become Qi refiners.
Zhong Yue came from the Zhongshan tribe, an insignificant small tribe, because of years of famine, only a hundred or so people remained, it can be said to be the smallest tribe in the wilderness.
Even self-protection is a problem for such a tribe, let alone a Qi refiner
Therefore, even though Zhong Yue worked a hundred times harder than others, there was still a long way to go before he could become a spiritual being.
The reason why he went down the mountain so early this time was to search for some elixir in the deep mountains and old forests to refine the Feather Spirit Pill and nourish his soul.
Feather Spirit Pill is the most common elixir, and the medicinal materials needed to refine Feather Spirit Pill are also common medicinal materials, but even such an ordinary elixir can't be afforded by him, so he can only refine it by himself.
Collecting herbs and refining alchemy by yourself, the time spent and the pain are naturally much more than others.
About two hours had passed since Zhong Yue left Jianmen Mountain, and the sky had already brightened. The disciples of the inner and outer sects of Jianmen Mountain had already woken up and practiced on their own. The powerful Qi Refiner flew down from the top of the mountain, and shouted loudly from a distance: "The demon soul is about to appear, all disciples of Jianmen obey the order, and everyone is strictly forbidden to go out!"
"Everyone is forbidden to leave Jianmen Mountain for half a step!"
"The miasma of devil souls is extremely dangerous. Only Jianmen can protect one side. No one is allowed to leave Jianmen, otherwise they will surely die!"
…
There was an uproar up and down Jianmen, and there was a bang, and the majestic mountain gate was suddenly closed, but in the midair of Jianmen Mountain, among the clouds and mist, the palaces and palaces were shining brightly, and the Golden Summit was even more bursting with golden lights, illuminating Xu Ming , extremely bright!
It was the first time for the outer disciples to see such a big formation waiting in full force, but it was no stranger to the inner disciples.
The Devil Soul Miasma happens every ten years, and it is extremely dangerous. Even a qi practitioner will die horribly when encountering the Devil Soul Miasma.
"How could this devil soul miasma erupt early? According to the time, it should erupt after five days?" an inner disciple murmured.
At this moment, there was a dull sound from the ground, as if a monster was stirring up troubles in the ground, and suddenly there was billowing black air gushing out from a deep valley not far from Jianmen Mountain, gurgling like a fountain, spraying black haze above the sky!
Soon, this black pillar was taller than Jianmen Mountain, straight into the clouds, and then the black haze dispersed in all directions. This scene seemed to be slowly opening with a huge black umbrella!
The sky and the earth were suddenly dark, only Jianmen Mountain had a generous light, illuminating the black haze, the surging black haze pressed down from above, and when it came near Jianmen Mountain, it was blocked by the light, as if there was an invisible layer of light The curtain is guarding Jianmen Mountain, so that the black haze cannot penetrate into the mountain.
And there seemed to be terrifying creatures in the black haze, making scalp-numbing roars, and from time to time, the creatures in the dark haze collided with the light curtain of Jianmen Mountain, and there were dull and loud noises, which were astonishing. extreme.
At the height of Jianmen Mountain, in front of a large hall, several qi refiners looked up at the incomparably terrifying miasma of demon souls, and someone whispered: "How many disciples from the outer sect walked out of the mountain gate and have not returned so far, I am afraid that they will never return." it's..."
The place where Zhong Yue went to gather medicine is called Juyun Mountain. There are many spiritual medicines in Juyun Mountain. It is located in the southeast of Jianmen Mountain. He has been an outer disciple in Jianmen for the past few years, although he has not learned any advanced exercises. , but the body is strong, one step can span a distance of more than ten feet, and it is very easy to cross mountains and ridges.
When he walked into Juyun Mountain, the sky was already bright, and the roar of beasts could be heard from time to time in the mountain.
There are few people here, and there are no hunting tribes nearby. There are many wild beasts in the mountains. Zhong Yue walked cautiously in the mountains and forests, looking around, and picked up a few elixir in a short time.
"Other elixirs are easy to find, but this five-spice mushroom is hard to find, you need to try your luck."
Zhong Yue crossed the mountains and ridges, and suddenly smelled a strange medicinal fragrance, which was faintly present, but as he approached, the medicinal fragrance became stronger and stronger.
There are five peculiar smells in this medicinal fragrance, sweet, fragrant, refreshing, fiery, and mellow. It is the smell of five-spice mushroom!
He followed the scent, came to a cliff, bent down to look down, and saw the cliff was steep, the rocks protruded, and the valley was deep and bottomless.
There is a huge protruding boulder more than ten feet away from the cliff, and a thin stream of water seeps out from the cliff, nourishing several exotic plants.
"Spiced Mushroom!"
Zhong Yue was overjoyed, and carefully climbed down the cliff. Although the cliff was steep, he was very skilled, but there was not much danger.
After a while, he came not far from the boulder. Looking down, he saw the deep valley was pitch-black, and the cold wind was blowing from bottom to top, icy cold.
Zhong Yue became more and more careful, and finally came to the protruding boulder, and was about to pick five-spice mushrooms, when suddenly the sky became dark, and he hurriedly looked up, startled.
I saw a big golden bird flying towards the cliff. The big bird had a wingspan of more than ten feet, and it actually had two pairs of wings.
"What kind of bird of prey is this?"
The four-winged golden bird hadn't even pounced, when the hunting wind swept over his face, hitting his face with pain, almost knocking Zhong Yue off the boulder!
call-
The four-winged golden bird pounced, Zhong Yue hurriedly grabbed a few Wuxiangzhi plants at the moment it pounced, and then jumped down from the boulder. After searching, Zhong Yue didn't fall off the cliff, but grabbed a green vine more than ten feet below the boulder.
The four-winged golden bird howled violently and soared into the sky, ready to pounce again. Zhong Yue gritted his teeth and slid along the green vines into the deep valley. Covering the entire valley, Zhong Yue looked up, as if the sky was covered by a black cloth.
There was faint light at the bottom of the valley, and it was unclear what was shining. Suddenly, Zhong Yue only heard the sound of the wind above his head, and saw a huge skeleton falling from the sky, passing by him and falling into the deep valley.
He was startled, and saw that the skeleton was exactly that of the four-winged golden bird!
In just a short moment, the four-winged golden bird seemed to be eaten by something in the black haze, leaving only the skeleton!
Zhong Yue was terrified, and when he looked up, he saw the black haze coming towards him along the cliff at an extremely fast speed. He quickly slid down the cliff, and suddenly the green vines fell off the cliff with a few bangs, Zhong Yue and the green vines fell from the cliff together.
In a panic, he stretched out his hands and scratched around, and finally grabbed a branch of an ancient tree protruding from the cliff, and the falling figure stopped. Zhong Yue looked up, the black haze was only four or five feet away from him, and there was a hole the size of a water tank next to this thick old tree. The head protruded from the hole, then raised it high, staring at Zhong Yue with interest, it turned out to be an unimaginably large python!
The giant python hissed and was very interested in him.
This kind of boa constrictor has amazing killing power, and it is the king of wild beasts. It is difficult for even a Qi refiner to kill such a beast, let alone him
Zhong Yue gritted his teeth, let go of the branch, and his body immediately fell.
The giant python hissed and spit out a long snake letter, and was about to pounce, when suddenly a black haze enveloped the giant python.
Crash, a snake bone more than ten feet long fell from the black haze, and fell into the bottom of the valley with Zhong Yue one behind the other.
The cold valley was deep, and dead branches and fallen leaves covered the bottom of the valley with a thick layer. Zhong Yue didn't receive much impact when he landed. The young man looked around with the weak light, and saw corpses piled up at the bottom of the valley, with ghostly lights lit up. It should be death. The bones of the beast in the mouth of the boa constrictor and the strange bird.
"The giant python died just now, what is this black mist... What a mess!"
Zhong Yue's complexion changed drastically, and the black haze finally reached the bottom of the valley, rushing in all directions, and the will-o'-the-wisps disappeared one after another into the black haze.
Zhong Yue looked around and saw the black haze approaching, he couldn't help but secretly sighed: "This strange mist has eaten the golden bird and the giant python, I'm afraid I will die too... Hey, why is this black mist not moving?" gone?"
The black haze rushed to his side and suddenly stopped moving forward, as if blocked by an invisible force, forming a hemispherical guard circle.
Zhong Yue saw a huge white bone claw approaching in the black haze, grabbed the hemispherical guard ring, made a harsh creaking sound, but failed to break through.
I don't know what kind of monster that white bone claw is, just a single knuckle is taller than him!
You know, Zhong Yue has honed his muscles and bones in the past few years, and his body is a bit taller than an adult, and this bone claw is much bigger than him even by a single knuckle. It is really hard to imagine how big the owner of the bone claw is!
"This is… "
Zhong Yue saw that right in the center of this small guard circle, there was a corpse sitting cross-legged. This corpse raised its right arm and held a lamp in its hand, as if lighting the way for people in the dark.
The light was faint, not much brighter than a will-o'-the-wisp, and it seemed that it might go out at any time.
"It's strange, this person has been dead for so many years, only the skeleton remains, why is the lamp still not extinguished?"
Zhong Yue was extremely curious, and stepped forward to examine it carefully, only to find something strange, this skeleton cannot be called a human bone, nor is it sitting cross-legged, but sitting cross-legged.
The reason why it is called a pan is not cross-legged, because this person has no legs, only a long snake tail, which is coiled together, and his upper body is human-shaped, with a head, a neck, hands and arms!
This is the skeleton of a monster with the head of a man and the body of a snake!
"Could it be this lamp that blocks these strange black mist?"
Zhong Yue bowed to the strange man's bones, raised his hand and carefully took down the lamp, only to see that the lamp flame was shaking and might go out at any time, he quickly protected it with his hands, and suddenly only heard a lazy voice: "Dream Thousands of years ago, what year is this eve? Young man, what dynasty is Fuxi in power now?"
