The ferry has no boatman.
Of course, some of the men in bunters came over to punt the boat. ..
The leader, Wang Hu, came over, clasped his fists and saluted, and said, "I have met Mr. Shen."
Shen Yu said calmly: "Now that we have discovered it, why did we wait until now to take action?"
What Shen Yu meant, of course, was that since the academy had found out the traces of the ghost cultivators of the Yinming Sect very early, but waited until now to take action, it obviously had other meanings.
Wang Hu knew the relationship between the handsome man in front of him and the gentleman in the Imperial Capital, and said directly: "I found out here half a year ago. After the Yinming Sect was destroyed, except for a few named disciples who were imprisoned in the Imperial Capital, there were no Anyone who escaped, the person Miss Yang killed just now, as far as I know, was the ghost mother of the Yin Ming Sect, but the ghost mother died at the hands of Master Wen at that time, and it is impossible to survive until now..."
"So, you want her to continue crossing the river to kill people, and then find out who is behind her?" Shen Yu suddenly interrupted.
Wang Hu looked embarrassed and heard the displeasure in Shen Yu's tone.
The academy protects the human world, and no demons or devils are allowed to cause harm to the human world. If discovered, they will be killed with thunderous means.
Wang Hu knew clearly that the ghost mother and the boatman were constantly killing people and practicing, but he did not stop them. Although his purpose was to explore the forces behind the two, sitting back and watching mortals being killed was against the rules of the academy.
Although Shen Yu came from the Dao Sect and there were thousands of mortals in the world, he would not care about these things.
Even if it were placed on Tai Xuan three thousand years ago, he might not even take a look at it. Everything in the world, except for a limited number of people and things that Tai Xuan can take a look at, there is nothing that can interest him.
The road is ruthless, and this is how it is on the road to immortality.
For those passers-by, the scenery passes by in a flash, and a few of them will know the stories.
"You have been practicing cultivation all your life and walking too fast. Why don't you stop for a moment, then turn around and look at the road you have walked?"
Shen Yu remembered the words of a certain old man.
That was when Taixuan Avenue was hopeless, and I met an old man on the Nine Heavens, who was wise, old and wise.
As for the identity of the old man, Taixuan did not ask, nor did the old man tell him.
Always stop and go.
Shen Yu shook his head slightly and brought his thoughts back.
On the ferry, Wang Hu, after hearing Shen Yu's question, replied in a trembling voice: "Mr. Shen, I... the matter of Yin Ming Sect is of great importance, and it involves the matter of Fengdu. I dare not be careless, so I I want to find out more before returning to the academy."
Shen Yu said calmly: "There are hundreds of resentful ghosts in Fengdu. It is normal for the remnants of the Yinming Sect to want to go there and reestablish the sect. You can imagine that the sage guarding Fengdu also knows that because of your overthinking, Hundreds of mortals died in Quhe. I am a disciple of the Dao Sect and will not interfere with the affairs of the academy. You can go ahead."
Wang Hu didn't explain, he bowed to Shen Yu and left.
"Where did the matter go?" Shen Yu asked.
Wang Hu stopped and replied softly: "Li Shan."
Shen Yu was silent and not talking.
Afterwards, the ferry arrived on the other side of the Qu River, and Wang Hu led several academy disciples northward.
Yang Pan'er walked out of the cabin and snorted heavily when passing by Shen Yu.
Zhao Ji quickly followed.
Shen Yu took the carriage out of the ferry and walked casually on the mountain road.
The weather was a bit gloomy and it seemed like it would rain at any time.
Even the air seemed a little dull.
Shen Yu didn't care about being a driver. The old horse was obviously tired along the way and stopped to rest from time to time.
Yang Paner also lowered his head and remained silent all the way.
Zhao Ji looked at it and couldn't help but ask: "Sir, this direction does not seem to be the direction to Dongzuzhou."
Hearing this, Yang Pan'er stopped and stared at Shen Yu with her beautiful eyes.
Shen Yu shrugged and said, "There are some things that I need to check out."
Yang Pan'er showed a trace of curiosity on her face and subconsciously asked
Said: "What's the matter?"
Shen Yu leaned on the carriage, smiled lightly, and said, "Aren't you angry anymore?"
After the words fell, the latter pulled out the Qingxuan Sword and chopped down an ancient tree nearby. In an instant, the old tree that had lived for hundreds of years broke and collapsed.
The woman sheathed her sword and said coldly, "I'm not angry anymore."
Zhao Ji covered her mouth and was stunned.
Shen Yu thought for a while and said: "The one you killed earlier was the remnant of the Ghost Dao Sect that ravaged Central Continent a hundred years ago, the Yin Ming Sect, named Ghost Mother. The Academy suspects that there are other ghost cultivators in this sect, and they are just ahead. , Lishan."
Yang Pan'er narrowed her eyes slightly and looked up at the towering mountain in the distance.
....
The Meandering River winds its way eastward for thousands of miles, and its uppermost point is blocked by a large mountain.
This mountain is very high.
It’s called Lishan, but in the spiritual world it has another name, Corpse Mountain.
Mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Nowadays, the sea of blood is born in Xizhou, and the mountain of corpses has shocked the spiritual wasteland a hundred years ago.
This majestic mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, and flows out of a river with blood-red water. At the bottom of the river, there is jade that condenses Yin Qi.
These Yin jade are useless to ordinary practitioners, but to ghost cultivators who have practiced ghost cultivation techniques, they are more precious treasures than spiritual jade.
Therefore, some ghost cultivators can often be seen here.
In addition to ghost cultivators, some casual cultivators will also collect Yin jade here, and then secretly exchange it with ghost cultivators.
For the Yin Ming Sect, this is of course a treasured land that they compete for.
Just a hundred years ago, the academy sage Wen Ruohai established three immortals and achieved the realm of saints. The most important thing among them was to destroy the Yinming Sect.
Since then, this place has become the focus of the academy's supervision.
At the foot of Mount Li, there is a thatched hut.
Sun Ruowang was reading alone under the dim oil lamp, looking gloomy.
Three years ago, he was sent to Lishan by the academy and became the gatekeeper to guard Lishan.
Academy students who practice Haoran Qi naturally have to practice it to the end in a big city where culture and Qi gather. However, Lishan is so remote that no one can be seen except those withered bones all over the mountains and plains.
Obviously, this is also where the academy punishes students.
Sun Ruowang was only in his thirties. He raised his head and looked out the window, put down his book with some boredom, and walked outside the house.
He picked up the gourd from his waist and drank the wine.
Night falls.
There were waves of terrifying screams coming from Lishan, as creepy as night owls.
Sun Ruowang turned a deaf ear to this. A hundred years ago, ghost cultivators gathered here and ghosts were rampant. However, after Patriarch Wen took action, those lonely ghosts had long since turned into smoke.
Those terrifying screams are just a kind of beast that has appeared in Lishan Mountain in recent years.
After feeling melancholy for a while, Sun Ruowang was about to go back to the house. .
But suddenly he saw dark clouds covering the top of the mountain in the distance, and a strong wind blew instantly, making the entire hut crumbling.
Countless withered bones with a vicious air made harsh noises, as if they were about to get up at the next moment.
Sun Ruowang's expression changed drastically.
