Two days later. E'an left Pingwang City with his twelve disciples. Before leaving, he ordered Wen Gui and others to buy fire-burning materials, and distributed message slips to each disciple to facilitate communication on the way.
Yu Ye, Zhan Kun, and Cheng Shi each bought old wine and braised meat, and then set off with the others.
Among the twelve golden elixir disciples, only three of them have a close relationship. As for Wen Gui, he had a fierce fight with other disciples and was busy around E'an, but he still did not lose his true nature as a speculative philistine.
After Tianji Sect and his party left, the Immortal Sect disciples and casual cultivators from various counties also rushed to Sifang City. Sifang City is fifty thousand miles away, but the golden elixir monk flying with his sword is only ten days away.
Besides, I was not in a hurry and the journey was quite relaxing. Another evening comes. E'an and his disciples landed in a valley.
At the same time, there were other monks resting in the valley. They learned that the elder of Tianji Sect had appeared, and people kept coming to pay their respects. Yu Ye, Zhan Kun and Cheng Shi sat on the hillside, chatted with each other for a while, then set up restraints, and each breathed and breathed. .
While resting, he kept his consciousness in the wild and paid attention to every figure in the valley. Although he also saw a few female cultivators, they were all strangers.
Classics say that people have three confusions in a day: either their realm is ignorant, or their cause and effect are reversed, or they cannot achieve liberation. Although he is a Jindan cultivator, he is still a layman, and his thoughts are mixed at the moment, which can't help but make him dizzy.
mMoreover, decades have passed, how could the brother and sister come to Yanzhou and appear in a remote small town.
What's more, she was alone, which was even more incredible. Well, I must have seen the wrong person. Yu Ye couldn't help but reach out and touch his chest.
There is a small piece of armor embedded in his chest, like a fingernail. With a little bit of magic power, it disappears into the skin and is not noticed by outsiders.
I miss Yu Tianshi a little bit. The dragon armor he refined is a treasure. I don’t know what his current situation is at Tianqiaomen. I should go visit him someday.
In addition, there is Hemlock. Perhaps he, Linghu Bei and Xun Yuan have also reached the Nascent Soul realm. If Zhan Kun can also get his wish, the trip to Yanzhou for several partners will be called a success.
However, the six immortal sects' search for the artifact is destined to fail, but they are afraid of causing disaster to Qizhou and Daze. And Lai Mian, the only one who knew Birch's whereabouts and his origins in the wild, suddenly became a key figure... The next morning.
Keep on your way. Another six or seven days passed, and more and more monks were encountered on the way. The news of the alliance of the six major immortal sects in Tianwu Mountain has spread all over the world. Immortal cultivators from all sides are now rushing to Sifang City, Shenglong Ridge and Luo Lei Valley to take the opportunity to find artifacts and supreme opportunities.
The high mountains and ridges gradually disappeared, and a huge valley appeared in front of them, with no end in sight. It was filled with swamps and poisonous miasma, making it look like a desolate place with no life left.
Is that the Sifang Valley shown on the map? Yu Ye, Zhan Kun, and Cheng Shi couldn't figure out the situation, so they could only follow the others and continue moving forward.
Another day has passed. In the mist-shrouded swamp, I saw dry trees, fallen grass, and broken walls stretching for hundreds of miles, showing the remains of the city outline, but it was deathly silent and desolate.
An abandoned ancient city. And this is the end point of this trip, Sifang City. Under the leadership of E'an, the people from Tianjimen landed in a collapsed courtyard in the city. Wen Gui and others lit a fire. It is said that the aroma of the thick smoke can dispel the poisonous miasma.
Yu Ye jumped onto a broken wall, looked down at the courtyard, looked up in all directions, and sat down. His consciousness could reach hundreds of miles away, but he couldn't see clearly the reality of the ancient city. He could only see a dense atmosphere everywhere. Smoke rose, and from time to time there was sword light passing through the dusk.
"The three of us will work together to search Sifang City tomorrow morning. You must dig three feet into the ground with me and not let go of a single stone." Zhan Kun sat on the stone steps of the courtyard and gave orders: "The poisonous miasma in Sifang City has the ability to block spiritual consciousness. The strangeness of the imprisonment cultivation can be eliminated by using fierce fire. Back then, more than a dozen disciples of Tianjimen Tianqitang passed through this place. If they could find the hiding place of the rebels, they should have discovered something. The deadline for this visit It’s only been a month, but there is something unexpected. The letter warns me, and I will take care of it. However, it is inevitable that I will encounter someone from Xiaoxiao, so I might as well take the opportunity to establish my authority..." So far, although there are many people in Sifang City, no other Nascent Souls have been seen. As a monk, E'an became more confident because of this.
Anyone who dares to be an enemy of Tianji Sect will be killed without mercy. Everyone took orders and rested on the spot.
Yu Ye originally wanted to team up with Zhan Kun and Cheng Shi, but E'an separated the three of them and ordered him to work together with Wen Gui and a fellow senior named Ke Zhao.
The night passed. In the early morning, the twelve disciples of Tianji Sect divided into four groups and searched for the four directions of the ancient city.
Yu Ye had no choice but to follow Wen Gui and Ke Zhao and run towards the south of the city. The ancient city is a hundred miles in circumference, and it is not easy to dig three feet into the ground. Fortunately, you have a long time limit and just search slowly.
"Junior Brother Ke, get to know Junior Brother a little bit." At the end of the south of the city, Wen Gui stood between a swamp and ruins. He held his beard with one hand behind his back and put on a bossy face.
"Oh, I've heard about Junior Brother's name!" Ke Zhao is in his forties, with a ninth-level Golden Core cultivation level. He has a long face and thin beard. voice, and has a gloomy and elusive temperament.
"Senior Brother Ke, please take care of me!" Yu Ye raised his hand and saluted. Although he is already a member of the Immortal Sect, there are only a few fellow sects who are familiar with him.
And there are so many disciples of Tianji Sect, it is unknown whether there is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Wen Gui added: "I am in the center and forward, Junior Brother Ke is on the left, and Junior Brother Yu is on the right. We must search the area of thirty miles around within ten days."
"Elder E has set the rules, why did Senior Brother Wen change the deadline?" Yu Ye couldn't help but question.
"Hmph, save time and use it to search elsewhere. Otherwise, how will you find the artifact and seize the lead?" Wen Gui made his own decision and thought of advantages everywhere. He raised his hand proudly and shouted: "Junior Brother Yu, how dare you Disobeying orders?"
"Don't dare!" Yu Ye stepped on his sword and flew eastward. Dozens of bonfires were lit in the ancient city last night, and as the night passed, the dissipated poisonous miasma reappeared. Although there was no serious problem, it made the sword fly a little less freely.
More than ten miles away, Yu Ye fell on a ruins. But he saw that Ke Zhao had already flown into the distance. Wen Gui, on the other hand, was circling on his sword, sometimes lowering his head to search, sometimes hiding underground, performing his duties diligently.
Sword lights also burst out one after another in the city, and people were running around randomly for a while. Yu Ye found an open space among the ruins, sat cross-legged, took out a jar of wine and a piece of braised meat, and started eating and drinking leisurely.
After a while, after eating and drinking, he wiped the corners of his mouth and walked along the street among the rubble.
The three missing artifacts were in his hands. There was no need to look for them, but he had to make a show of them so as not to arouse the suspicion of Wen Gui and E'an.
In addition to Purple Star, Star Arrow and Xinghai, there are nine other artifacts. According to information from all parties, they should be nine star stones, held by five immortal sects respectively.
If you get all the artifacts, how can you open the door to the netherworld? During the Tianwu Mountain Alliance, Chi Li once said a verse: The southern star appears, and the underworld opens.
How to interpret that passage? He should have asked Qingluo for advice, but various accidents occurred frequently during these days. Not only did he have no time to care for others, but Qingluo also became reticent.
Well, even if there are thousands of things, let's take it easy. An ancient city with a radius of a hundred miles is really rare. Although it is in ruins, it still retains some of the grandeur of the past.
And what happened back then that caused such a huge ancient city to be abandoned? Several foundation-building and golden elixir monks walked towards him. Seeing his young appearance, they looked him up and down, with suspicion and wariness in their eyes.
He didn't take it to heart and continued to wander alone. The area he was looking for was twenty to thirty miles in radius.
Unconsciously, at noon, there was heavy haze above our heads. Yu Ye crossed a section of collapsed courtyard wall.
It was a courtyard, with only a circle of broken walls and gravel and soil on the ground. But there is a well in the corner, and the well railing and well platform are still there.
Yu Ye walked towards the well and glanced down. He was just curious. There was water in the well, which reflected half of his head clearly.
He just sat on the platform of the well, looking back intently. Although the ancient city was in ruins, it was blocked by miasma and broken walls. It was difficult to find traces of Wengui for a while, let alone the specific location of E'an.
Only the light of swords and the coming and going of human figures added to the desolate and chaotic scene. At this moment, someone jumped into the yard.
Five monks, three golden elixirs, and two foundation builders are the same people they just met, and they meet him again?
"Everyone, nice to meet you!" Yu Ye nodded in greeting.
"Fellow Taoist, it's a pleasure to meet you!" The middle-aged man in the lead, with a cultivation level of the ninth level of the Golden Core, was tall and mighty in appearance. He cupped his hands and said, "I wonder which immortal sect my friend comes from?"
"Tianjimen!" Yu Ye patted the token on his waist.
"Oh, disciple of the famous sect, disrespect, disrespect!" The middle-aged man complimented lightly, and then said: "I heard that the masters from the Tianji Sect have arrived in Sifang City, but my Taoist friend is so young and his cultivation is unpredictable. You won't Is that the senior Nascent Soul?" As long as he doesn't deliberately reveal flaws, ordinary people can't see the depth of wildness.
Yu Ye shook his head and said: "The Yuanying elder you mentioned is far away in the city, and I am just his disciple."
"Haha!" The middle-aged man smiled in relief and said: "Friends, please get out of the way -" Yu Ye looked at the mouth of the well behind him and said in surprise: "Why?" The middle-aged man suddenly became confident and said: "This is the four directions The only remaining deep well in the ancient city is for us to occupy first, so fellow Taoists, please stay away so as not to harm the peace."
"Oh?" Yu Ye didn't mean to cause trouble. He wanted to get up, but he thought it was interesting and said, "It's just an ancient well. There's no way it's hiding a divine weapon, but it's making such a fuss. What if I refuse to give in?" The middle-aged man said His face changed slightly, and he said: "It has nothing to do with the artifact, fellow Taoists must not force each other..." Yu Ye became more and more curious, couldn't help but suddenly turned over and got into the wellhead.
When he was about to touch the well water, he found a hole on one side of the well wall. He ducked through the entrance and was already in a cave.
At this moment, five figures followed. The middle-aged man at the head rushed towards him even more aggressively, saying angrily: "So what about the Tianji Sect, our Seven Kill Demon Sect cannot be insulted!" The cave is long, narrow and extremely dark.
Yu Ye was so surprised that he had no time to think too much and was forced to retreat. However, he couldn't help being shocked and lost his voice——
"Seven Kill Demon Sect, wait a minute..."
