August.
Mid-autumn season.
The weather is high and the air is crisp.
On this day, five people walked among the colorful mountains and fields.
The five of them are all dressed in ordinary clothes, like travelers on a long journey, but with empty hands, light steps and extraordinary bearing.
Looking south, there is a low city wall surrounded by mountains.
"Fu Ling Mountain covers an area of five hundred miles, and at the foot of the mountain is Fu Ling City. The Wan Ling Inn in the city is Mo Xiao's agreed upon destination."

The only old man among the five was Leng Chen. He raised his hand and said with a smile: "Yun Kingdom is located in the south of Qizhou. It has beautiful mountains and rivers and pleasant scenery. It is known as the South of Colorful Clouds. Now that it is autumn, the scenery is even better!"
Bian Ji, Liang Qiao, and Jiang Pu who were traveling with him echoed -
"Well, it's well-deserved!"
"I came to Yun Country many years ago, and as Senior Brother Leng said, it is a great place with outstanding people!"
"Haha, let's go to the city to eat and drink and enjoy the comfort for a few days..."
After a group of five people escaped from Fengling Valley, they took advantage of the teleportation arrays of the four immortal sects and arrived at the border of Xuanfeng Kingdom that day. Then they climbed over the mountains and ridges to Yun Kingdom and continued southward. ????????? ???????Finally arrived at Fuling Mountain in early August.
As far as the eye can see, there are luxuriant vegetation, beautiful mountains and clear water, and the sky is high and the clouds are clear. It is really a different scene.
Everyone quickened their pace.
Leng Chen glanced back and summoned——
"Junior brother?"
The junior brother fell behind. He was talking and laughing, but suddenly he fell silent and seemed absent-minded.
"Ah...here he comes!"
Yu Ye seemed to wake up suddenly and hurriedly agreed.
Now that he was far away from Tianming Mountain and Xuanfeng Kingdom, he was still in the same spirit, but he didn't know what he thought of, and he was silently lost in thought.
After a while, Poria City was in sight.
The dilapidated city gates, low city walls, as well as the vines and moss on the city walls all bear witness to the antiquity of Fuling City. Then a large car slowly passed by, a man carrying firewood came towards me, an old man dozed in the sun, and a wild dog ran back and forth, adding a bit of tranquility away from the wind and rain to this ancient small town.
Leng Chen twisted his beard and smiled, leading his four junior brothers through the door.
Perhaps the small town is too remote, and monks are rarely seen. Even the dilapidated city gate is unguarded.
The city is about a thousand feet in diameter, with only three streets, one vertical and two horizontal, and seven or eight alleys. The houses on both sides of the street are equally old and outdated, and the signboards and flags in front of the shops also bear traces of time.
In the north of the city, there is a courtyard surrounded by wooden buildings, three wine shops facing the street, and a few old trees blocking out the sky and sun. This is the Wanling Inn.
Leng Chen asked the innkeeper and confirmed that Mo Xiao and others had not arrived yet, so he booked ten guest rooms, paid half a year's rent in advance, and took his four junior brothers to eat and drink in the wine shop, and then they settled in .
The five-person guest rooms are located on the east side of the second floor, adjacent to each other for easy care.
Yu Ye walked into his guest room.
He ignored the furnishings in the room, closed the door, typed a few restrictions, then sat on the couch, turned over his hands and took out something in front of him.
A piece of yellowed white cloth, with two lines of crooked writing smeared on it with charcoal: To the south of the colorful clouds, the red bird flies north, the golden toad emerges from the water, and the secret of heaven can be found. Destined to be wild, not destined to providence.
This is a relic of Juber, or a last message.
He could never figure out the meaning of his last words, and over time, he gradually forgot them. But Leng Chen's words today suddenly gave him an idea, and he couldn't help but think of the past and Qiu Bo's last words. Caiyunzhinan is actually another name for Yun Country?
The first sentence in Qiu Bo's last words was Caiyun Zhinan. Thinking again about the red bird flying north and the golden toad emerging from the water, the secret of heaven can be found. Doesn't it mean that there is a secret of heaven hidden in the Yun Kingdom? According to this speculation, the so-called secret may be related to overseas treasures. As long as we find the place where the Suzaku flies north and the Golden Toad emerges from the water, maybe we can find the overseas treasures left by Qiu Bo?
Yu Ye couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
After going through all kinds of hardships to come to Qizhou, what did you do? Not only to survive and find a way out, but also to find out the origin of Qiub and the truth about overseas treasures. Once I was confused, my eyes were confused, and I had no way to start searching. Now I suddenly find a glimmer of light in the darkness, how can I not be excited?
Yu Ye rubbed his hands and waved his sleeves.
There were a few more items in front of him, including another rag, a jade tablet, a broken sword, and a purple jade stone.
There are two paragraphs on the rag, the upper paragraph reads: The missing artifact, one is the purple star, the second is the star arrow, and the third is the sea of stars. The saint comes to the world, the three stars return together, the Nandou is reversed, and the underworld is opened. The next paragraph is: This is a verse on the wall. It is priced at ten jars of fine wine. You, my boy, are not allowed to default on the bill. We are destined to meet again in the next life.
Two passages were left by Gui Yuanzi, one was a verse that came from an isolated island on the sea, and the other was like a joke about his bargaining, which eventually became his last words.
The jade plaque engraved with "Heavenly Secret" and "He", from Feng Laoqi of Daze Jianghu, has been confirmed as the Immortal Gate token. At present, it is known that there is no Tianji Gate in Qizhou; the broken sword comes from Qiu Bo, and the sword hilt is also engraved with the word "Tianji"; the palm-sized purple jade is also a relic of Qiu Bo.
Yu Ye took out two more jade slips and placed them on the couch.
Two jade slips come from the Buddhist Scripture Cave in Beiqi Mountain. One is a map of Yanzhou, and the other has only one line of characters: Flying stars enter the South Dou, Nine Purples open the netherworld.
The items placed in front of him were all collected or acquired accidentally in the past few years. They seemed to be related to each other, waiting for him to slowly think about it.
If "South of Caiyun" gives a clue to the difficult mystery, we might as well reason from this, since the treasure is hidden in the Yun Kingdom, where is it specifically located?
The red bird flying north is the direction of Qi State. What does the golden toad mean when it comes out of the water?
…
Outside Fuling City, five people came in a hurry.
The leading woman was wearing a Taoist robe. She was thin and had frost-white temples. Her eyes showed weariness. The two men and two women accompanying him were also dusty.
Looking at the surrounding mountains and ancient town, the five people in the group were all very happy.
"Fu Ling Mountain has arrived."
Mo Xiao and his four disciples finally arrived at Fuling City at the foot of Fuling Mountain.
Although Uncle Mo was cautious, he was also good at adapting. After traveling day and night for many days, he found that the security in various places in Xuanfeng Kingdom was lax, so he immediately tried to use the teleportation formation through the passage, thus greatly shortening the trip.
"I wonder if Senior Brother Leng has arrived here?"
"It's a blessing that several senior brothers were able to escape from Xuanfeng Country within half a year."
"Junior brother Yu is so powerful that he might have arrived at Fuling City in advance!"
"It has taken us more than four months to follow Uncle Mo. Even if Junior Brother Yu has the means to reach the sky, he cannot fly out of Xuanfeng Kingdom!"
"Ha ha……"
Although the four disciples traveled hard, they were in a happy mood. After all, they escaped from the Xuanfeng Kingdom and escaped the pursuit of the Suzaku Sect. Now they have successfully arrived at Fuling City. Perhaps they can rest for a while before returning to the mountain gate.
"Uncle Mo, when will you and I return to the mountain gate?"
"There is no return date yet."
The five people passed through the city gate, asked about the way, and went straight to Wanling Inn in the north of the city.
…
Yu Ye opened his eyes from sitting quietly. The white cloth left by Qiu Bo was still placed in front of him. Whenever he was not practicing, he would think about the above passage for a while. Who would have thought that there would be no progress in several months.
However, his cultivation level has improved rapidly, and he has now reached the late stage of the sixth level of Qi refining. With another period of hard training, he may be able to reach the perfect state and then go further.
The improvement of cultivation level means the improvement of mana, and with it the tide rises, making the Seven Kills Sword Qi more comfortable, the Heavenly Forbidden Trap Technique, the Incarnation Technique, and the Heavenly Dragon Shield becoming more and more proficient, and the Light Body Technique and Divine Consciousness have also improved slightly. But that was all, the Divine Dragon Escape Technique still stalled. Fortunately, Jiao Ying had no time to intervene, otherwise he would have been taught another lesson.
I think it's because his cultivation level is too low, not enough to support overly powerful magical powers.
There is no rush!
Yu Ye picked up the white cloth and looked at it for a moment, then put it away helplessly.
To the south of the colorful clouds, the red bird flies north, the golden toad emerges from the water, and the secret of heaven can be found. It's south, it's north, I really can't figure it out. The Golden Toad is recorded in the Book of Ten Thousand Beasts. It is not an ordinary toad, but a psychic creature with a lifespan of thousands of years. And such spiritual objects only exist in legends. Just like the so-called heavenly secrets, they can be encountered but not sought.
Remove the restrictions and open the door.
I haven't been out for many days, and I went to wander around the city for a while.
When Yu Ye walked outside the door, he couldn't help but look at the beast control ring on his right hand.
The fleshy wings on the backs of the two monster salamanders are already three feet in size. They are two huge pieces. If you cut them off and weigh them, how many spiritual stones should be weighed per kilogram?
"Hiss——"
A sharp and harsh roar suddenly sounded in his consciousness, which was clearly the sound of the demonic salamander's violent rage.
Hey, I just feel sorry for the spirit stone, but I actually angered two monsters who have not yet developed their spiritual intelligence. If they become stronger in the future, won't they rebel against the Devourer?
I'll practice some more another day, I don't believe I can't deal with these two ugly things!
The door to the next door was closed.
"Bang, bang——"
Yu Ye punched the door, then ducked out of the way.
Then I heard someone in the room say angrily: "Who disturbs my purity?"
Yu Ye had already hid at the stairs, feeling secretly happy and running downstairs.
I had been harassed by that senior brother several times, which was very annoying. Today, I wanted to return the favor once, which was considered a courtesy.
When we came to the courtyard, the fallen leaves on the ground were swirling in the wind.
After all, it’s another first month.
Twenty years old!
The days fly by so fast, especially in this remote ancient city. I forget my worries and stay away from the fight of life and death. Time has passed like water before I know it.
Yu Ye touched his face and paced in place.
His appearance remains roughly the same, but his cheeks are slightly thinner and more angular. He has not grown taller either, he should be similar to Leng Chen, far less tall and powerful than Liang Qiao and Jiang Pu. But the limbs are much stronger. If you clench your fists slightly, you can feel the majestic strength rushing through the body. If you fight Chen Qi with bare hands, can you beat him half to death?
Yu Ye crossed his arms and ran outside the courtyard.
Two guys were cleaning the yard, and the fallen leaves that had just been piled up were blown all over the place by the whirlwind. They were so angry that they cursed and continued to swing their brooms in the air.
The first month of the year in Fuling City is not cold, even the wind is warm.
Spring has arrived.
Yu Ye walked outside the courtyard and looked at the street scene.
Someone is chasing me from behind.
Yu Ye grinned and was slightly startled.
Leng Chen chased after him, but he passed by him in a hurry. At the same time, five familiar figures walked up the street...
