If you look down on this famous grand canyon in Yanyun Prefecture from a high altitude, it is like a huge crack opened by the gods with a sword on the western foot of Manglong Mountain, deeply embedded in the mountains and rivers.
The clouds and mist that persist all year round obscure the true appearance of Yinfeng Canyon. Although it is only less than a few miles wide, it is unfathomable and stretches north to the junction of Youyuan Prefecture and Mobeipu. It is occupied and owned by the Tiancheng Sword Sect.
It's just the southern entrance to the canyon.
The topography of the canyon, which is hundreds of feet deep and thousands of feet high, is extremely complex and evil. Legend has it that the deepest part communicates with the underworld. It is the dark power that seeps out from the underworld that makes the canyon an extremely dangerous existence. There are countless monsters of all kinds, often extremely dangerous.
Fierce and bloodthirsty.
And inside the canyon, there are also unimaginable huge wealth, precious spiritual herbs, rare mineral deposits, and mutated monsters that attract many Sword Sect disciples to take risks.
Qin Yun and Xiao Ming headed toward the depths of the canyon along the rugged and steep path.
The roads they took were all trodden by others. Similar roads were densely packed at the entrance of Yinfeng Gorge. Every year, hundreds of Sword Sect disciples followed these paths deep into the canyon. Many of them were never able to come back.
After walking hundreds of steps down, through the gauze-like clouds and mist, I immediately entered another world.
The sun cannot penetrate the thick fog, and it is cold and cold below the canyon. The dark wind blows from nowhere, passing through the gaps in the rocks and sending out a low whistle, blowing on the skin like a knife.
The most terrifying thing is the dark aura contained in the dark wind. It can ignore the cover of the infiltrator's clothing and penetrate directly into the muscles, bone marrow, and internal organs, making people quickly become weak and weak.
It is the ubiquitous dark wind in the canyon that has blocked the footsteps of many Jianzong disciples, making them rather go to Hanming Cave and Fire Dragon Zai than come into the canyon.
Xiao Ming immediately opened the protective cloud talisman. Like most of the disciples who came here, he relied on the power of the talisman to resist the invasion of the dark atmosphere.
Qin Yun did not do this, although he also had a similar talisman.
It was Qin Yun's first time to come to Yinfeng Gorge, but he still knew something about this famous canyon. Although the Yinfeng in the canyon was terrifying, for a warrior like him who practiced fire-attribute skills, there was another level of danger.
effect.
As the mind turns, Nine Yang Xuan Gong operates spontaneously, and the powerful true energy quickly flows along the martial arts veins to various acupoints in the body. The inflammation spreads wherever it goes, quickly dispelling the dark atmosphere that invades the body.
trace.
After a while, the true energy reaches the surface of the skin. Although it cannot form a protective layer of true energy like the innate strong ones, it is enough to withstand the invasion of the dark wind, making Qin Yun's whole body warm and comfortable.
This is actually a kind of practice, and the effect is not much worse than practicing hard in seclusion.
Xiao Ming looked enviously at Qin Yun, who was wearing thin clothes but looking as usual. He knew very well how difficult it was to reach this point. In comparison, he was really far behind.
Qin Yun didn't know the kindness of his companion. He looked around and said in a deep voice: "We have to speed up and find a suitable shelter from the wind before it gets dark!"
The Yinfeng Grand Canyon is located on the edge of the Jianzong Mountain Gate. The road from Xuanwu City to here is not short, and the two of them have already wasted a lot of time. Once it gets dark, the inside of the canyon will be even colder and more dangerous. If you don't find a shelter from the wind and camp in advance,
Place, running around in it is definitely not a good idea.
Xiao Ming, of course, only followed Qin Yun's lead, so he quickly added rice and followed closely behind Qin Yun.
Shortly after the two entered the canyon, two more people, a man and a woman, appeared on the path near the entrance.
The woman was quite pretty, but her thin lips and sharp eyes made her look uncomfortable. The faint crow's feet at the corners of her eyes gave away her age. She was none other than Wu Qinghong.
Her companion was a slender middle-aged man with a smile on his face, and a pair of small eyes that always glanced at the bumpy parts of Wu Qinghong's body, flashing an undetectable lustful look.
Wu Qinghong seemed unaware, staring at the Yinfeng Gorge that was obscured by clouds and mist, and said through gritted teeth: "This little beast must have gone down. We will take action as soon as it gets dark. We must not let him escape!"
"Qing Hong, do you really want to vent your anger on a junior? In fact, I can help you deal with Shui Wan Ning's Sandpiper Heart Pleiades Fierce Nether Kangmo. Fu said: "If this matter is exposed, you and I will both be in trouble.
If we keep walking, it will be impossible to deal with Shui Wanning again!"
"As long as we do it cleanly, everyone will leak it?" Wu Qinghong's eyes were full of hatred: "Shui Wanning is either in Hancui Valley or chasing Yunfeng. The old immortal is very fond of her, where should we start?
opportunity?”
"Let's kill this little beast first, and then send someone to notify her. She will definitely come to save her personally. Are we afraid that we won't be able to deal with her alone by then?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "You are cruel enough, but you can't let her die so easily when the time comes. Let me taste it first, and don't forget the conditions you promised me.
"Don't worry... Wu Qinghong's expression turned cold and indifferent. PS: "As long as you help me avenge myself, I will be yours!"
"That's best!" The middle-aged man smiled even more happily: "Don't worry, with my Dayan tracking technique, I can find that little beast even if he goes to the underworld. He will definitely run away.
It won’t fall off!”
Wu Qinghong burst out laughing, her laughter filled with unspeakable madness that spread far and wide in all directions.
At this moment, Qin Yun, who was reaching the bottom of the canyon, suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart, and a sense of danger enveloped his heart. He couldn't help but turn his head and look back, but found nothing except jagged rocks and sparse trees.
Xiao Ming was startled by his actions and quickly looked back: "Brother, what's the matter?"
Qin Yun shook his head, got rid of the ominous thoughts in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "It's okay, let's go!"
There is a faint fog barrier in the canyon, and the miasma in some places is poisonous, which can make people unconsciously poisoned and fall asleep, and then they will never wake up.
Even if there is no toxin, the fog that cannot be blown away by the wind can seriously block the line of sight, making it impossible to clearly see the scene twenty or thirty steps away. It is said that only at night when the wind is strongest, the fog barrier will temporarily disappear.
Even at the edge of the canyon entrance, you must be very careful, because the monsters lurking in the depths of the canyon often use the fog barrier to patrol and hunt, and the Sword Sect disciples who enter the canyon are their prey.
Some careless people think that the front area is safer, and often suffer big losses because of this.
Therefore, Qin Yun, who came here for the first time, was extra cautious. It was okay for him to be alone, and he had Xiao Ming by his side. If he was attacked by a large number of monsters, it would definitely be fatal.
Fortunately, Xiao Ming is not a liability. Although his strength is not very good, the equipment on his body is very good. He holds the spirit sword in his right hand and the cloud talisman in his left hand, which shows that he has some combat power.
The road ahead is becoming increasingly difficult. Large and small rocks covered with moss are the most common obstacles. Dark green thorny vines extend thick branches to every corner. More and more grass appears in Qin Yun.
within the field of vision.
Occasionally, you can see white bones beside the grass and rocks. Some of them are the corpses of monster beasts, but most of them are the remains of Sword Sect disciples who died among them, reminding those who come after you of the danger of this place.
The Tiancheng Sword Sect will organize manpower to search Yinfeng Gorge every ten years and bring these remains back to the mountain gate for burial. There are usually similar sect tasks, but few people will do it.
There are many cracks and caves in the canyon, which are so dark and bottomless that if you accidentally fall into them, even the bones cannot be recovered.
Xiao Ming almost stepped through the air and fell into a crack in the ground. Fortunately, he was quite agile and Qin Yun caught him in time, so it didn't lead to tragedy.
However, this accident made his face turn pale, and he suddenly felt that following Qin Yun down the Yinfeng Gorge was not a good choice. God knows what kind of dangers there are behind him.
So far, neither of them has encountered any monsters, and there is no trace of the Huanyang Grass they are looking for!
He retreated in his heart, and the attentive Qin Yun also noticed something strange about him.
"Junior brother Xiao Ming, let's find a place to camp here first." Qin Yun thought for a while and said, "We can split up. You will be responsible for staying behind and setting up the camp, and I will go ahead and explore the way."
Xiao Ming suddenly felt as if he had received an amnesty and blurted out: "Okay!"
As soon as the words came out, he immediately felt ashamed and couldn't help but lower his head.
Qin Yun smiled and said: "Don't feel embarrassed. We are dividing the work and cooperating. I think that cave is good. Let's go over and see if it can be lived in."
The cave Qin Yun was interested in was about several feet high on the side of the rock wall, and it was easy for two people to get up there.
After exploration, we found that the cave was not deep and there were no animals inhabiting it. Judging from the traces left inside, some people had used this place as a camping ground before, so it should be relatively safe.
Qin Yun was very satisfied. He and Xiao Ming unloaded their luggage together and said, "Wait for me here. I will come back before dark."
After a pause, Qin Yun continued: "If I don't come back in the evening, you will go back to Jianzong tomorrow morning. Don't come to me alone, but I think that possibility is unlikely.
Qin Yun smiled and said it easily, but Xiao Ming became nervous: "Brother, you must be careful!"
"Don't worry!" Qin Yun patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Senior brother, my life is very tough.
Before he finished speaking, Qin Yun spread out his body skills and swept out of the cave, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Ming was stunned for a moment, as if he still couldn't believe it.
The dark wind roared in from the entrance of the cave. He couldn't help but shuddered, suddenly woke up and rushed out.
But outside the cave, all that could be seen was that the depths of the canyon were filled with fog, and there was no trace of Qin Yun anywhere.
