Mo was silent for a while and then said: "You must also know that the Black Mountain Territory is different from the outside world. You cannot escape here, and there are many dangerous places. With all due respect, some of these dangerous places are difficult for even you to pass.
.”
After hearing this, Liang Yan nodded slightly to express his approval.
In fact, this is exactly what he is worried about. From his observations along the way, he found that the Black Mountain Region is by no means simple. If there is no guide who is familiar with the route here, it is very likely that the army will be lost.
To say the least, even if the Bamboo Army could get through these dangerous areas, it would probably take a lot of time and cause the mission to fail.
"You are one of the eight great clans of gods. You should know the shortcut from north to south, right?" Liang Yan asked.
"Of course there are shortcuts, but after Beiming invaded our place, they built city defenses at many must-pass places. If you want to enter the hinterland of Beiming through the Black Mountain Territory, there are several city gates that cannot be bypassed." Mo Huan
Slow down.
After hearing this, Liang Yan's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile but not a smile:
"Mo, you don't want to borrow a knife to kill someone, do you?"
Mo Ye also laughed: "It depends on what you think. I'm not lying. Unless you are willing to pass through the 'Soul Burial Ridge' and the 'No Life Valley' that even our eight major gods are not willing to approach."
place, otherwise you would have to fight your way through.”
At this point, he paused and then said: "But then again, you just kept saying that you were Beiming's enemy, wouldn't you dare to take action against Beiming's monks?"
"It seems that you want to verify my position." Liang Yan narrowed his eyes.
He didn't answer immediately, but thought about it secretly.
The ultimate goal of this operation is to sneak into Beiming, meet up with Li Yile, and then find the source of the Luo River under the leadership of Li Yile, and use Shennong's secret medicine to destroy the Luo River.
Of course, the whole process should be as secretive as possible, and try not to make too much noise.
But this is only an ideal situation, not realistic. After all, we are in Beiming's territory, which is heavily defended, and it is impossible not to fight once.
"Danyang Sheng is very cunning. He has been fighting in the Black Mountain Territory for a year. He should have some understanding of the terrain here. The place where the city gates are located must be the only way to the North Ming Dragon Vein. There is no way to avoid it.
From this point of view, what this person just said is probably true, but it is also true that he wants to use my hands to get rid of the Beiming monk, and the two are not in conflict."
"The Black Mountain Territory is dangerous and strange. Instead of marching indiscriminately, it is better to take this person's advice and give him a reassurance at the same time."
Thinking of this, Liang Yan smiled slightly: "Mo, tell me, which path should we take next?"
"If you want stability, you can march to the 'Lin-Yin Valley' in the southwest. After passing through the valley, take Pingyang Road. Although there are many city gates on this route, the guards are not strong. It is just that the road is long and there are still people along the way.
There are several dangerous places and it will take a lot of time."
"Yeah." Liang Yan nodded, "This is the route to seek stability. Is there anything else?"
"If you want to go faster, then march southeast, cross the 'Tianaxe Mountain', and take the Baiyun Road. The city gates along this route are heavily guarded, the generals' strength is unfathomable, and there are also mysterious formations to block them."
When Mo said this, he glanced at Liang Yan and said with a smile: "This is the direct route to Beiming. If everything goes well, it will only take one-third of the marching time. Of course, the danger is several times that of other routes. As for how
The choice is up to fellow Taoists to decide."
"Understood."
Liang Yan nodded slightly, his face calm, showing no emotion or anger.
There was silence for a while, as all the soldiers were waiting for his decision.
"Go southeast and take Baiyun Road!"
After pondering for a moment, Liang Yan gave his answer.
Seeing that he had chosen the most dangerous path, Zhao Yi, Wang Chonghua, Hong Yun, Fu Kaishan and other generals not only showed no signs of worry, but instead showed smiles, looking eager to try.
"That's how it is. Although we only have a hundred thousand people, there are many experts gathered together, and there are countless capable people and strangers! When our army's soldiers point at it, the city gates left by Beiming are like chickens and tile dogs, and they will be destroyed with one strike!"
Zhao Yi laughed loudly.
"Don't be careless!" Venerable Fuhu said with a serious face: "The reason why the commander-in-chief chose this route is just to speed up the march so that he can cooperate with the main force led by Leader Ning, but we must not underestimate the enemy.
You must know that a arrogant soldier will be defeated!"
"I know, I know." Wang Chonghua patted Venerable Fuhu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "We are all experienced generals in the battlefield, how can we be careless and underestimate the enemy? But we have been suppressed by Beiming for too long before, and now
If we have the chance, we must dampen their spirit!"
"Let's hit the road."
Liang Yan didn't say much and turned back to Luan Che.
Gui Wuqi was ordered to guard Mo. The two of them rode in a chariot and followed Liang Yan. The army set off again and marched toward the "Tianaxe Mountain" in the southeast.
Tianxu Mountain is located in the northern part of the Black Mountain Territory. The mountain road is steep and the rocks are rugged. The rock on the top of the mountain is convex and looks like a huge battle ax from a distance, hence the name.
There is a dark forest on both sides of the mountain. There are miasma, poisonous gas, and strange and inexplicable ancient restrictions in the forest. Even the eight major gods who have been practicing here all year round dare not approach it rashly.
Therefore, if you want to cross Tianfu Mountain, you must pass through the sub-river valley in the middle.
At the mouth of the valley, there is a majestic and tall city gate. This city gate stretches for tens of thousands of miles from east to west. It is made of black black stone. It looks like a dark giant beast, entrenched in the north-south direction!
There is a plaque hanging on the gate of the city wall with three golden characters: "Tayun Pass"!
This is one of the many city gates left behind by Bei Ming before he withdrew from the Black Mountain Territory. The general guarding the gate is named "Wei Zheng", with a nine-foot-high hideout and extraordinary prowess.
He was having a drink with a few people in his backyard at the time. During the dinner, birds were singing and dancing, and his sleeves were fluttering. Everyone was chatting happily, and they didn't seem to be preparing for war at all.
"General Wei, thank you for your hospitality. Your Ganquan wine is simply outstanding. I haven't enjoyed such delicious food for many years." An old man with white hair and beard said with a smile while tasting the wine.
After hearing this, Wei Zheng burst out laughing:
"Fellow Kuzhu Daoist is really good at joking. How can ordinary wine be as good as your panacea? Let's do this. Next time you are addicted to alcohol, just take a 'Zhuan Ling Dan' in exchange for it, and I will give it to you.
How about thirty pounds of sweet spring wine?"
"Well, Wei Zheng, your wishful thinking has come true!"
On the other side of the banquet, a handsome man in white chuckled and said: "Fellow Kuzhu's 'Spiritual Transformation Pill' is hard to find. If you really exchanged it for thirty kilograms of ordinary wine, I'm afraid that before
Those fellow Taoists who ask for elixirs will be so angry that they vomit blood, right?"
"Brother Xue Ju, you can't say that." Wei Zheng said with a smile while tasting wine: "Now we are all stationed in the Black Mountain Region. Although we are not in the same city, we are all in the same spirit. We all had a great time chatting today.
, how about doing market trading and interoperating with each other?"
"oh?"
After hearing this, Kuzhu and Xue Ju looked at each other and put down their wine glasses in unison.
In fact, their drunkenness is not about drinking. They came to Yunguan today for a small gathering, and they do have their own purposes. Now that they have had three rounds of drinking, it is time to get down to business.
"Since it is General Wei who has spoken, how dare Xue refuse to obey? I wonder what the general wants in exchange for it?" Xue Ju chuckled.
Wei Zheng said nothing, put down his wine glass and clapped his hands. The female cultivator who was still dancing in the courtyard immediately stopped, bowed to the three of them, and then slowly exited the backyard.
