The winding paths lead to secluded areas, and the mountains and forests are quiet.
Looking at the leaves falling in the middle of the mountain road in front of him, Xu Yue raised his head and looked around. Faintly at the tip of a tree somewhere, he spotted a figure sitting cross-legged in the air.
"Sir, I traveled here and came here. Where is the front? Why don't you let me in?" Xu Yue had already dismounted and was waving to the surroundings, looking like he was inexperienced in the world.
The mountain forest was silent for a while. After a while, a voice came: "The trial in the secret realm is coming soon. Emperor Mountain needs to make thorough preparations. The front is under martial law. You can go back."
boom!
However, as soon as the man finished speaking, a sonic boom suddenly came from the sky, followed by a strong wind, which caused the forest to fall to one side and howl.
Xu Yue looked up and saw a figure walking away with a flying sword. He was very fast and disappeared into the mountains above in the blink of an eye.
"this……"
Xu Yue pointed to the place where the man disappeared, and then looked ahead, indicating something.
"People with noble status or powerful strength can naturally enter the important land of Emperor Mountain ahead. Do you have proof?" The man's voice came again from the forest.
Xu Yue thought for a while and decided not to alert the enemy. He shook his head with a smile, bowed, and prepared to return the way he came.
"This place is close to the core area of Emperor Mountain. Not only are there obstacles in the mountain, but there are also occasional strong men from other sects. As a disciple of our Emperor Mountain, you must be careful not to lose your etiquette."
A warning suddenly came from behind him. Xu Yue was startled, turned around and said, "Thank you, senior brother, for reminding me."
Then, the forest fell silent and there was no more sound.
Xu Yue stopped for a moment and looked up at the inaccessible land.
Although it is extremely far away, you can vaguely see a bronze hall halfway up the mountain standing in the forest, ancient and mysterious.
"Let's go."
Xu Yue withdrew his gaze, no longer stopped, and led the Xuanhuo horse down the mountain.
The two of them were silent all the way, and the atmosphere was a bit dull.
Until a certain moment, Xuan Huoma felt something was wrong.
Because it seems that this road down the mountain has not been walked before, it is not the original road before.
Out of curiosity, the horse looked back, and his hair suddenly exploded, and flames burst out.
Behind him, the road he had walked had disappeared, and was filled with the same trees and grass, covering up even the footprints they had just left.
The Xuan Huo Ma was surprised and stopped suddenly, and the surrounding environment seemed to stop as well, becoming completely still.
However, when it moves, the mountain forest also moves with it, as if it is alive, which is extremely strange.
It's like encountering a ghost rumored to be in the world, which makes people shudder.
"Don't be so surprised. This is the confusion that the person just mentioned."
Fortunately, Xu Yue on the side was still calm. He patted the Xuanhuo horse and said with a smile: "Hey, let me tell you, you are already a beast in the solid spirit realm. Are you still afraid of those ghost legends?"
"throat!"
Xuanhuoma was dissatisfied, but his heart was still pounding.
"If you're afraid, why not fly up and take a look?" Xu Yue reminded.
Xuanhuoma was stunned for a moment and then reacted.
Yes, I can fly, why should I be afraid of this ghost hitting the wall?
After thinking about it, it immediately took off, flew out of the forest and disappeared from Xu Yue's sight.
Xu Yue was not in a hurry and waited quietly.
Sure enough, after a while, the Xuanhuo Horse landed again, with a very human embarrassment on its long horse face.
"If you fly up there, you can only see a vast sea of trees, but you can't find it at all?" Xu Yue joked.
Xuan Huoma kept nodding and looked at Xu Yue with admiration.
"This is the obstacle in the mountain. If you are not strong enough, Yukong has no way to solve it. You can only walk out slowly with two feet." Xu Yue smiled, clapped his hands, and continued to move in one direction.
Xuanhuoma was deep in thought and didn't notice that Xu Yue had gone far away. When he realized it, the surroundings were extremely quiet, which made him feel frightened and quickly followed Xu Yue in the distance.
One person and one horse continued to walk in the mountain forest. On the way, they encountered dragonflies half the size of a man, golden monkeys that kept jumping between the trees, and even happened to bump into a few monks who were also walking in the confusion.
However, everyone maintained a tacit understanding, and after exchanging a few words, they each went their own way.
Gradually, even Xu Yue himself didn't know where the others were, whether they were going up or down the mountain.
It wasn't until early one morning when the sound of running water suddenly came from ahead and small stone slabs appeared in the bushes that Xu Yue felt that he was still in the human world.
Leading the horse, we stepped on three thousand small stone slabs. The sound of water in front of us became louder and louder. After passing another corner, the trees that blocked the sky disappeared, and the sun suddenly appeared, dispersing the long-lasting fear of walking in the mountains and forests. clammy.
Da da da.
In the distance, there is the sound of wooden fish and the smoke is billowing.
A simple temple is located in the shade. There is a medicinal field in front of the temple, which is full of young and tender grass. It is fluorescent and full of spiritual energy.
There is also a small stream next to the temple. On the stream, a waterwheel is constantly rolling, and bamboo tubes are beaten upside down, continuously irrigating the medicinal fields in front of the temple with sweet spring water.
Xu Yue watched this scene silently, led the Xuanhuo horse to the stream, took a sip with his hand, and drank it down.
The same is true for the Black Fire Horse. It originally loved the heat, and now it wanted to jump into the water to wash away all the heat all over its body.
"Okay, let's go."
After drinking from the sweet spring, Xu Yue pulled the reins, glanced at the deep and silent temple, and continued walking forward along the small stone slabs.
Xuanhuoma was confused and didn't understand why Xu Yue didn't go into the temple to have a look. However, feeling the strength on the reins, he didn't dare to say anything and followed behind him.
"Donor, since you are here, why don't you come in and talk about it?"
However, before the two of them had gone far, an old voice came from the simple temple.
Xu Yue stopped, turned around and said with a smile: "The boy didn't know the direction and wandered into this place by mistake. Seeing that your temple was clean, he couldn't bear to disturb it, so he left."
"Meeting each other means we are destined. The donor has walked thousands of mountain roads and passed through layers of confusion to come here, which means he has a close connection with our temple... The donor is well versed in the law of cause and effect and should understand this truth."
After the words fell, Xu Yue's eyes narrowed slightly, and he carefully looked at the wide open courtyard door. After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "I don't understand what the master is talking about. It was a pure accident that I accidentally entered this place. Take my leave."
After saying that, he took Xuanhuo Ma and prepared to leave. Unexpectedly, the latter seemed to be in a trance at this time. His huge eyes were staring at the temple and he couldn't pull him away at all.
"The [Seventh Ban on Demon Sealing: The Ban on Cause and Effect] is being triggered. The host can touch the causes and conditions in the world, and can also cut off the threads of cause and effect, and prohibit cause and effect."
Xu Yue was serious and decisively launched the Karma Restriction, and then pulled hard on the Black Fire Horse's Karma Line to wake it up.
"Walk."
Xu Yue said in a deep voice, leading the confused horse towards the front.
However, at this moment, the small stone slabs under my feet began to disappear, and the road ahead turned into a muddy road, as if if I stepped on it, I would get stuck in it and be unable to extricate myself.
Xu Yue turned around suddenly and said in a cold voice: "I dare to ask here, but is it still in Yidi Mountain?"
"Of course." A voice came from the temple.
"Then you, Xianghuo Temple, stopped me like this, does Dishan know?"
