Tianji Fei also nodded in agreement, but although he also felt the preciousness of this Shura Mind Technique, he was still young and had a vague concept of wealth at this time. After being excited for a while, he turned his attention back to other basic ancient books in his hands. ; In his opinion, the secret book that cannot be used for cultivation is far less valuable than the few books in his hand. After the two opened the last box and found nothing, they sorted the cleared debris one by one and placed them neatly. In the end, the two brothers carefully placed the secret book that was not needed for the time being together with the jade bracelet in an inconspicuous place in the corner. They only took away the bottle of unknown elixir and a few weapons for martial arts training, then got up and left the place. Narrow cellar.
After a lot of hard work in the morning, the sky was approaching noon; the temperature in the courtyard under the sun was gradually becoming unbearable. Thinking that he was going to the Dongyun Mountains to investigate the situation in the afternoon, Tianjihong couldn't help but look forward to it. From today on, he could officially start his struggle for cultivation. Of course, he still had to ensure Xiao Fei's safety before he left, so after lunch, Tian Ji Hong told Tian Ji Fei to stay at home and be vigilant at all times. Except for occasionally going out to confirm the movements of the old seventh, he should stay as much as possible the rest of the time. Keep the door tightly closed at home. If danger really comes, you can hide in the cellar. After all, it has now been confirmed that the guys who may come to cause trouble are mortals without spiritual power. As long as they hide in the cellar, without the detection of soul consciousness, it will be difficult for these bandits to find Xiao Fei. Finally, after he rambled on for about ten minutes, causing his younger brother to cover his ears and start urging him to get on the road, Tianjihong waved goodbye and ran towards Dongyun Mountain in the distance.
As the name suggests, the Dongun Mountain Range is located near Dongyun City on the border of Shigure. It is nearly a thousand meters above sea level and the mountains are steep. Because it stretches for hundreds of miles, it is connected to Wusheng Mountain in the west and the Seibu Strait in the east. In addition, as mentioned before, the Dongun Mountain Range The position it occupies just happens to tightly wrap Dongsheng Town on the south side, which also blocks the road between it and Dongyun City under the jurisdiction of the Shigu Sect in the northwest, so the world calls it the three roads on the Seibu Continent. One of the dividing lines.
Due to its vast coverage area and steep terrain, the surrounding sects, especially the Shigure Sect in the north, had to give up bringing Dongyun Mountain under their sphere of influence. It takes a lot of effort to find the road; if you still expect to send people to garrison, it is simply impossible. However, although Dongyun Mountain is outside the intersection of forces of all parties, it does not mean that the latter have not set their sights on this rich mountain range.
In fact, various forces will send their disciples from time to time to come in groups to look for opportunities in the Dongyun Mountains. There are reports that various elixirs, ores, and even treasures made of heaven and earth have been discovered in the Dongyun Mountains. Hear. Tianjihong's location on the east side facing the sea may be good. After all, it is remote and the roads are not smooth. Except for Dongsheng Town, few outsiders pass through this mountain range. But the northwest side closest to Dongyun City is the territory of the Shigu Sect. The latter has already dug up the ground in that area, and even used the fertile soil here to directly recruit people from Dongyun City. The coolies cultivated this area and planted elixirs. Every year, about a quarter of the elixirs under their orders were transported from the foot of the Dongyun Mountains.
And as Li Ming mentioned, there are no good things that fall from the sky, and all kinds of opportunities are naturally accompanied by dangers. The Dongyun Mountains are like a treasure that has not yet been fully exploited. How can there be no hidden dangers in it? Not to mention the hundreds of meters high cliffs and dangerous mountain roads, this alone is enough to scare ordinary mortals; in addition, as mentioned before, even if they are powerful, many disciples of various major sects Practitioners often only dare to go deep into the mountains in groups. Ferocious spiritual beasts, ferocious desperadoes who hide in the mountains, and most fatally, the uneven flow of spiritual energy in the mountains caused by terrain obstruction and climate change have given rise to all kinds of creatures in various areas between the mountains. Dangerous environment.
I once heard that when someone mistakenly entered the mountains, he entered an area where the spiritual power in the body would be continuously compressed by a mysterious force in the air until it was annihilated. In the end, the person's body could not bear such terrifying pressure and turned into a puddle. Pus water; there are also people who are said to have broken into an ancient battlefield area. Apparently there were once peerless masters who had a duel here. The man was beheaded by a sword energy that had remained in the valley for unknown years and had not dissipated. He was killed on the spot; some people even mistakenly thought that they had discovered a spiritual treasure land with beautiful heaven and earth. However, when he went deep into it unpreparedly, his companions realized that this place was caused by different elements in this area. The auras of the attributes blended together and experienced strange changes, and then transformed into an illusory area like this. The original appearance of this place could not be such a holy land with beautiful mountains and clear waters and steaming aura in the eyes of a few people; and since the guy who mistakenly entered it, Since there is no news, it seems that this place is probably a dangerous place shrouded in illusion.
Although most of these legends come from the mouths of monks, Dongyun Mountain is notorious for its dangers, so naturally some of them were passed down to mortals and deified. Tianjihong usually listens to the elders in the village, and occasionally tells these things as stories or jokes to the children, in order to warn future generations not to trespass into this dangerous mountain range at will. However, even though he is aware of the many dangers, Tianjihong, who is full of energy at this time, still maintains a high fighting spirit. As the saying goes, wealth can be found in danger, and his usual cautious attitude does not mean that he has lost his desire for adventure. As a young man, he had longed for the possibility of traveling alone into the mountains to find opportunities for his future cultivation.
However, according to the plan, I was just exploring the road today. For Dongyun Mountain, which I had never set foot in before, figuring out the road in and out of the mountain was the first priority. Tianjihong, who was running head-on under the scorching sun, was already sweating profusely. He was following the route into the mountain that the hunters in the village told him on weekdays. The area this road passes is quite flat. It is surrounded by places where villagers come to pick tea and grow vegetables. There are not many tall trees growing, so the view is very broad. If you use this place as a reference point, you can find the mountains more smoothly. of import and export. The only drawback is that in such scorching heat, it is difficult to find even a shade of tree beside you. The hot climate makes it impossible to hear the chirping of birds and animals in the fields at the foot of the mountain, let alone see the shadow of human beings. .
Fortunately, after traveling for about five miles, Tianjihong gradually entered the woods at the foot of the mountain. As the vegetation gradually became denser, the problem of high temperature was successfully solved. But at the same time, the restriction of vision gradually increased. If there were no clear path on the ground winding all the way into the mountains, Tianjihong might have lost his way just a quarter of an hour after entering the woods. According to the hunters in the village, this forest is the area where they roam and hunt on weekdays. They can usually find some hares and pheasants here, but as for the real beasts, they have never been heard of appearing. Therefore, Tianjihong still did not slow down when walking through the forest. There should not be anything that could threaten him in the outer area that hunters could set foot on during the day.
As the terrain rose, the vegetation in the forest finally became sparse again, and it seemed that we were almost reaching the end of the forest. About half an hour after leaving home, Tianjihong passed through the dense forest at the foot of the mountain. What came into his field of vision was a rugged rocky land. The dirt road under his feet also came to an end, and there were rocks scattered all over the mountains. A ferocious-looking figure guarding the road ahead leading to the mountainside further away. Looking up, these thousands of crooked but sharp rocks can't be seen even under the hazy clouds in the distance.
Tianjihong had no choice but to turn his gaze to the mountainside higher up. Since then, the terrain of several surrounding peaks has risen sharply, and many steep stone walls can be vaguely discerned between the cliffs, extending at almost vertical angles toward the direction covered by the mist. Covered mountain top. According to his estimation, this place is about two or three miles long when it reaches the mountainside; but even in today's sunny weather, it would take at least an hour for ordinary people to cross the rocky slopes of these two or three miles. It takes a long time, and if you are not careful during this period, the sharp stone may cause accidental injuries. This is really not a wise choice for a little guy like Tianjihong who is in a hurry to complete the task. Fortunately, his goal is not to rush to the mountainside to climb the peak; and considering Tianjihong's current situation, he is not willing to venture into such a deep place to take risks, just in case something happens to him deep in the mountain. Unexpectedly, this annoying rocky slope blocked the way home, and I couldn't even find a way to escape.
At this time, Tianjihong's eyes gradually turned to the junction of the two peaks on his left hand. Looking at the gentle landform at the end of the field of vision, Tianjihong had already deduced without guessing that there must be a large valley there, and maybe a water source could be found in it. And if I were to move in a curved direction towards the valley over there, I would only have to pass through a small section of rocks to get to the foot of the mountain on the left, thus perfectly avoiding the precipitous terrain in front of me. All kinds of inconveniences can be eliminated, and a lot of time can be saved for subsequent tasks.
