Early in the morning, Shi Jiu quietly left the inn and rode straight to the Fuyun Mountains.
Just as Shi Jiu left, in another direction of the town, Miss Yan'er from Fengbaozhai whom Shi Jiu had met last night, and some other people Shi Jiu had never seen gathered in an open space, and everyone was whispering to each other. , with an excited expression, looking into the distance from time to time, as if expecting something.
Shi Jiu didn't know what was happening here, and now he had only one goal: the Five-Fan Underground Hall located in the hinterland of the Fuyun Mountains.
Yunshan Town is very close to the Fuyun Mountain Range. It didn't take long for Shi Jiu to arrive at the foot of the mountain.
Looking at the majestic and majestic mountains, Shi Jiu couldn't help but sigh. Although he had been reborn in this underworld for a while and had seen quite a few tall and majestic mountains, compared with the towering Cloud Covering Mountains in front of him, it was obviously a witch. See the great witch. Shi Jiu had a feeling that the Cloud-covered Mountain Range had a special power. Anyone who looked up at it would feel like an insignificant ant and would feel a sense of awe.
"Little guy, do you think this Cloud-covering Mountain Range is special?" At this time, the voice of the Great Red Sword Emperor sounded.
"Well, the Cloud Covering Mountain Range is so majestic. I feel like a speck of dust, insignificant in front of it." Shi Jiu answered truthfully, without any embarrassment.
"It's normal for you to have this idea. In fact, the Fuyun Mountain Range was transformed by a great master tens of thousands of years ago, which gave it its current majesty and inexplicable power." The Great Red Sword Emperor raised his head and looked at Fuyun Mountains, with a longing look on his face.
What? This Cloud-covering Mountain Range has actually been transformed by others, so that it has the power it has today? Shi Jiu couldn't believe it. Who could have such means to change the entire mountain range? Even a strong person in the soul realm shouldn't be able to do it, right?
"Senior Sword Emperor, who is so capable of transforming such a mountain range? Isn't it even a powerful person in the soul realm?" Shi Jiu immediately asked the question in his heart, eager to know the answer.
The Da Chi Sword Emperor turned his head to look at Shi Jiu, and then said matter-of-factly: "Of course it's not a soul-level powerhouse. That's something that can only be done by a powerful person who is much stronger than a soul-level powerhouse and whose cultivation is extremely terrifying. As for After his name, people at that time called him Venerable Fuyun."
Hearing this, Shi Jiu was also shocked.
You must know that the most powerful people in Lanhai County where Shi Jiu is now and in the previous Tianyou County are only at the peak of Soul Realm, and there are no strong Soul Realm people. Of course, this has to exclude the Da Chi Sword Emperor around him, and now listen to Seeing an existence that was even more powerful and terrifying than those in the soul realm, Shi Jiu's heart was filled with shock, and at the same time there was a trace of longing and desire.
At this time, Shi Jiu thought of a question, "Where is Venerable Fuyun now? Why have I never heard of him?"
"Alas, Venerable Fuyun has disappeared for thousands of years when I was still alive, let alone now? No one knows where he went, maybe he died." Speaking of this, the Great Red Sword Emperor showed a faint expression. Disappointed, after a while, Senior Sword Emperor said again: "The journey of cultivation is inherently against the will of heaven, full of difficulties and obstacles. No matter how powerful the existence is, there are also crises and sad obstacles, so no matter what, you must remain consistent. A heart of awe.”
Shi Jiu nodded solemnly.
"Okay, let's continue looking. The five underground halls should not be far away." said the Great Red Sword Emperor.
So, Shi Jiu closed his eyes and entered his own neural consciousness sea.
After a while, Shi Jiu discovered the five-door map suspended in his sea of consciousness. As soon as Shi Jiu approached, the map automatically unfolded and appeared in front of Shi Jiu. Shi Jiu was not polite and immediately watched carefully.
Five minutes later, Shi Jiu returned to his true form, then rode his horse towards the location marked on the map.
Half an hour later, Shi Jiu came to a pool.
This should be the entrance marked on the map, but apart from a pool of water, there are no mountain gates or secret doors in the mountains, cliffs, and green woods.
Shi Jiu walked back and forth here and used his spiritual consciousness to carefully search for possible entrances, but he was still disappointed and did not find any secret doors or tunnels.
"Little guy, you seem to have forgotten a place, right?" The Great Red Sword Emperor pointed to the pool in front of him.
Upon hearing this, Shi Jiu looked in the direction of the Sword Emperor's finger.
"Yeah, why did I forget this pool!" Shi Jiu was a little annoyed.
Shi Jiu once left the Splashing Soul Cave along the secret passage of the water pool, and then entered it again through the secret passage of the water pool, and met the Great Red Sword Emperor in the Splashing Soul Cave.
In this case, it's easy to handle.
Shi Jiu took out the sheepskin bag he had used before going into the pool, blew enough air into it, then put on a water suit, took a deep breath, and dove into the pool.
The water in the pool gets colder as it goes deeper. Fortunately, Shi Jiu is now much stronger than before, and this coldness has no effect on him.
Shi Jiu opened his spiritual consciousness, and then swam quickly against the direction of the underwater current.
Ten minutes later, Shi Jiu emerged from the water. At this time, he was already inside the mountain.
There is something similar to Splashing Soul Cave here, where there is an underground river in the heart of the mountain, and then flows out of the mountain. After Shi Jiu came ashore, he first changed into clean clothes, then lit a torch, and then walked forward along the dark river.
After a while, a tall stone gate appeared in front of Shi Jiu.
The stone door was already wide open, covered with a thick layer of dust and cobwebs. In addition, various criss-crossing ravines could be seen. Even though it was covered with dust and cobwebs, Shi Jiu could still tell that they were the remains of various swords. traces.
At this time, Shi Jiu's mood sank. The stone door was wide open and traces of various fights could be seen. This meant that this place had been cared for by others. Couldn't the things inside be...
"Don't think too much, won't you know if you go in and take a look? Besides, I think if there is really something good here, it won't be easily obtained by others. After all, this is the secret stronghold of the Five Gates." The Great Red Sword Emperor saw it. Understanding Shi Jiu's state of mind, he comforted him.
The words of the Da Chi Sword Emperor had an effect. Shi Jiu regained his mood, then raised the torch and walked towards the stone gate.
As soon as he entered the door, Shi Jiu saw densely packed skeletons and various weapons. Although he was prepared after seeing the marks on the stone door before, Shi Jiu was still shocked when he saw the scene inside. There had been a big battle here. Too many people died.
Most of the corpses here have been petrified, and some have long been turned into powder. Most of them are buried in dust. There is no complete skeleton left. Even cold weapons such as swords are decayed. None of them are In perfect condition.
"These corpses are thousands of years old. According to my estimation, it was probably the enemies of the five gates who discovered this place. Then there was a big battle here, and so many people died." The Great Red Sword Emperor analyzed from the side.
Shi Jiu didn't stop and continued walking forward. Apart from all kinds of skeletons, there are only broken weapons here, and there is nothing worth moving.
At the end, Shi Jiu saw a three- to four-meter-high cave entrance with no door to go in directly.
Just as he was about to go in, he was stopped by the Great Red Sword Emperor on the side.
"Wait a minute, use your spiritual sense to explore the front." The Great Red Sword Emperor suddenly said.
Although Shi Jiu had doubts, he still complied.
"Eh? My consciousness can't enter the front? Wait, is this a restriction?" After his consciousness was blocked, and after thinking for a while, Shi Jiu guessed that there was a restriction at the entrance of the cave in front.
"Little guy, you have to stay alert at all times when exploring this kind of ruins cave. Because you have opened your spiritual consciousness, you are much safer than others, but you can't be careless." The Great Red Sword Emperor reminded.
"Thank you, senior, I will remember it." Shi Jiu lowered his head to express his gratitude.
At this time, Shi Jiu was also in trouble. There was a restriction. How should he get over it? Is it like the last time at another ruins of the Five Gates in the Kuanggu Mountains, where the barrier was forcibly broken? At that time, there were two elders in the central realm who forced it to open when the restriction was loosened. Can you do it yourself?
Shi Jiu shook his head and rejected the idea of forcibly breaking the restriction. With his cultivation level in the Qi Dynasty, this method would not work at all.
After thinking for a moment, Shi Jiu took out the five-door token placed in the Xumi space. This thing is the five-door token, and it also contains a map of this place. Maybe it can open this restriction.
With the mentality of giving it a try, Shi Jiu took the token and slowly approached the cave entrance in front.
Soon, there was movement ahead. Just when the token was about to approach the cave entrance, ripples suddenly appeared in the originally empty cave entrance, spreading out like water ripples and appearing transparent.
"Put your hand in and see if it can penetrate." The Great Red Sword Emperor on the side suggested.
Then, Shi Jiu slowly stretched the hand holding the token forward. When he encountered the transparent restriction, he was not hindered and reached his hand in smoothly.
It really works! Therefore, Shi Jiu took courage and stepped forward with his whole body.
When Shi Jiu passed through, the restriction behind him returned to calm and disappeared again.
