Skeleton Mountain has a strange mountain shape, which is also unique in the vast wilderness. There are seventy-two peaks in total that look like various human or animal skulls, stretching hundreds of miles away, forming a unique landscape.
The main peak is located due south. Two black waterfalls hang upside down from the mountain, like a skeleton weeping.
What he flows is not water, but the evil wind and earth evil coming from thousands of feet deep underground.
The Skeleton Patriarch was sitting in the middle of the two earth evil waterfalls, letting the evil mist rolled up by the earth evil soak into the body and mind and nourish the consciousness.
Huang Jiu Mo came to the main peak, but he didn't dare to get close. Even though he had entered the advanced realm of virtual refining seven years ago, he didn't dare to be contaminated by the soaring evil mist. The pain caused by the evil mist to Yang Shen was even worse. He couldn't stand it.
After waiting for a long time, the Skeleton Patriarch finally finished his work. He sighed with satisfaction, patted his legs that had been sitting cross-legged for a long time, stood up, and walked down as if walking down the stairs, but he only went down one step. Suddenly, Then he came to Huang Jiu Mo.
Huang Jiu Mo stood with his head bowed and solemnly reported the conversation he had with Sun Wu, the disciple of the academy: "I am good at making decisions and reached an agreement with Sun Wu. Although it is only between him and me, I came here without the consent of my ancestor." Please forgive me."
The Skeleton Patriarch is an extremely thin man, as thin as a skeleton without skin and flesh, which is also the origin of his name. His eyes are sunken into the sockets, deep and dark, and no light can be seen.
He coughed twice and sighed: "I'm sick again... Did anyone die in the battle this time?"
Huang Jiu Mo took out a triangular soul flag and shook it outward. Three phantoms faintly appeared on the soul flag, struggling and roaring, trying to escape from the restriction of the soul flag, but in vain.
The Skeleton Patriarch took out a golden pot and comforted the struggling shadow on the soul flag: "Don't move, the ancestor will send you to a good place."
His words were full of vicissitudes of life, but they revealed a magical power. The shadow gradually stopped struggling and was sucked into the golden pot by him.
The Skeleton Patriarch sniffed at the mouth of the pot and praised: "It's so fresh." He immediately put it away.
"Lao Jiu, did you just say that we reached an agreement?"
Huang Jiumo said: "Yes, from now on when the monks from his academy enter Skull Mountain, neither servant nor Sun Wu will take action, leaving the children to fight on their own, whatever the outcome of the fight will be."
The Skeleton Patriarch nodded repeatedly: "This is good, this is good."
Huang Jiu Mo said again: "I also want to take people to attack the Longkou School. It doesn't make sense for him to come without me."
The Skeleton Patriarch shook his head repeatedly: "It's no use, it's no use. Doesn't he want to capture the people wanted by the academy? Let's just keep more of them in and let him attack."
Although Huang Jiu Mo was unwilling to give in, he had no choice but to comply with his ancestor's orders.
The Skeleton Patriarch asked again: "What do you think of this Sun Wu?"
Huang Jiu Mo said: "I have fought with him twice. Although there was no life-and-death fight, I feel that he has profound cultivation. It doesn't look like he is new to practicing the Void, but more like he has been practicing the Void for many years, even better than the likes of Nongqiu and Jiang Ying." Not bad either. But I can’t say for sure. I heard that he is an alchemist by birth, or he may have some magical elixir that can help him in the battle."
As he spoke, he elaborated on the two battles in which he cast the ice magic spell and fought for the control of the tea cup.
The Skeleton Patriarch pondered: "This is not the appearance of someone who has just entered the void... Please ask if you can find out the details of his entry into the void."
After Huang Jiu Mo left, the Skeleton Patriarch returned to the place between the two evil waterfalls and continued to practice while holding the golden pot. The evil mist was introduced into the golden pot using his unique technique, and a squeaking sound suddenly came from the golden pot.
After seven days of refining in this way, there was gradually no movement in the golden pot. The Skeleton Patriarch sniffed the mouth of the pot and let out a sigh of satisfaction.
Huang Jiu Mo has been waiting at the foot of the mountain for a long time and reported to the Skeleton Patriarch: "I have inquired clearly. Sun Wu was originally traveling in Yangzhou. Later, he discovered the cave of King Yu at Yanluo Mountain, two hundred miles northwest of Yangzhou, and gained some insights. He was in seclusion in the cave, perhaps for protection...until the academy arrived after receiving the news, he broke into the void. About two months later, he was elected as a follower by the academy."
The skeleton ancestor asked: "King Yu's cave?"
Huang Jiu Mo said: "The Academy has decided to honor King Yu as one of the gods, but it has not yet been announced to the world. It is said that it is because Lu Tong, the great wine maker, is not in Linzi. Perhaps when he comes back, the matter of honoring King Yu as an immortal god will be resolved. It is clear to the world, just like the immortals of Gushe Mountain. However, many believers have already worshiped King Yu in Yangzhou, Shouchun and even Longkou."
The skeleton ancestor immediately asked: "What benefits did he get from King Yu's cave?"
Huang Jiu Mo said: "I heard that it was a breakthrough in enlightenment. I went to many practitioners and great practitioners in the academy, but I couldn't find anything good."
The Skeleton Patriarch frowned: "That shouldn't be the case."
Huang Jiu Mo said: "From the gossip, it is said that this King Yu's cave had been robbed before it was discovered."
The Skeleton Patriarch turned around and murmured: "Did you dig? Did you dig..." Suddenly asked: "Where is Wei Fushen? Have you come back?"
Huang Jiu Mo replied: "I haven't returned yet."
The skeleton ancestor ordered: "Go find him. After you find him, ask him to go to Yanluo Mountain and take a look at the King Yu's cave."
Huang Jiu Mo hesitated: "As a miracle of King Yu, the cave has been listed as a forbidden area by the academy..."
The Skeleton Patriarch said: "He should have a way."
They were all wild demon cultivators who could not be found in the academy. Huang Jiu Mo had his own way of finding them. When he found Wei Fuden, Wei Fuden was covered in wounds and his clothes were stained with blood. He was lying under a withered vine. Almost dying.
"You have a grudge against Feng Pingjun?" Huang Jiumo stood beside Wei Fuchen, frowning and looking down at the wounds on his body.
Wei Fuchen shook his head.
"Why is that? Just now on the way I saw Lord Feng Ping in a very embarrassed state. He was no less injured than you. He is a top figure in refining the gods and is not a reckless young man. Why do you so easily engage in a life-and-death fight?"
Wei Fushen still didn't answer.
Huang Jiu Mo was too lazy to care about these personal grudges. He stopped asking questions at the moment and said: "You have not been here these days. A group of people came from the academy and snatched one of their prisoners from Lutou Mountain, Lutou." Three people died in the mountain, but Wei Daohong and Zhang Gaoya are fine."
Wei Fuchen was stunned, gritting his teeth and saying nothing.
Huang Jiu Mo said again: "If you want to take revenge, no one will stop you, but before you go, you have to go to Yanluo Mountain. The Yanluo Mountain is two hundred miles northwest of Yangzhou. There was King Yu's Cave Mansion there years ago. It’s been listed as a forbidden area in the academy, you go and check it out.”
Wei Fuchen coughed a few times and asked breathlessly, "What are you looking for?"
Huang Jiu Mo said: "Write down what you see and hear in the cave. It will be of benefit to you when you come back."
Wei Fuchen asked: "What's the benefit?"
Huang Jiumo smiled: "When you are healed, I will beat you again."
Wei Fushen's depressed eyes condensed and he regained a lot of vitality.
