After listening to Song Qingshi's words, the Ninth Senior Brother looked a little serious and held his chin and remained silent for a long time.
Song Qingshi anxiously raised his hands and said, "If it weren't for an emergency, I wouldn't dare to work with the three fellow Taoists from the Taiyuan Sect easily. It's just that we can't delay the matter. If it's too late, I'm afraid the other three fellow Taoists will suffer."
Zhao Xuan frowned at the side and said: "Song Valley's main cultivation level is not weak anymore, and we are not familiar with Heifeng Ridge. If you can't resist, there is nothing we can do if we go."
Xu Chen was also worried. Neither his senior brother nor his senior sister wanted to get involved in this trouble. He, a scumbag from Zhan Wu, was even more incapable of helping to save people. It was best to be a sullen gourd at the moment, otherwise he would be asking for trouble.
Seeing that the three of them really had no intention of helping, Song Qingshi could only sigh in the end, cupped his hands slightly and said: "It is indeed a shameless act. I'd better seek help elsewhere for this matter."
The Ninth Senior Brother suddenly said: "This Nanyang County is tens of thousands of miles away. Apart from Wulei Sect and Taiyuan Sect, who else can Master Song Valley ask for help?"
Song Qingshi was stunned for a moment as all the strength in his body seemed to have been drained, and he felt at a loss what to do.
Brother Ninth said seriously at this time: "In this case, Valley Master Ouyang will quickly go to Taiyuan Gate to see if the third elder can be invited. The three of us will follow Valley Master Song to Heifeng Ridge to see the situation. If we can help, we will take action.
, if there is really nothing you can do, you can only rely on yourselves, or if the third uncle is willing to go down the mountain to help, then there may be a chance."
When Song Qingshi heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Thank you very much. Without further ado, I'll set off separately soon!"
Soon, a few people had a brief exchange, and Ouyang Ping, the master of the second valley, first released his flying sword and headed towards Taiyuan Gate.
The Ninth Senior Brother released his flying sword and said, "Little Junior Brother, come with me, so that you can retain some strength!"
"Okay!" Xu Chen didn't refuse, jumped on Brother Ninth Brother's flying sword, and grabbed his Taoist robe tightly.
"Let's go!" Brother Ninth waved his sleeves, and a burst of vitality firmly protected Xu Chen. Then the four of them turned into three rays of light and flew away toward the southeast.
There are vast mountains and primeval forests at your feet, and you can hear the roars of wild beasts everywhere, which seems to be very restless.
"Senior Brother Ninth, why did you suddenly agree to help?" Xu Chen asked via voice transmission from his spiritual consciousness.
"Idle time is idle, just go and have a look. Don't take action when the time comes. Everything will be done according to the opportunity."
"Um!"
"The main reason is that Heifeng Ridge is not far from Taiyuan Gate. In addition, although Yelang Valley is full of civilian cultivators, they can also be regarded as the peripheral forces of our Taiyuan Gate. They often communicate with each other. It would be unreasonable to ignore it at all. Recently, Shanmen
It’s not peaceful either, the third-level demon wolf has fled near the mountain gate, and maybe it has something to do with Heifeng Ridge, so we can go and have a look to find out the situation.”
At this point, Brother Ninth smiled and looked back at Xu Chen and said: "Junior Brother, this is your first time going down the mountain to experience. It would be good to experience some things more. After all, this kind of thing will happen to you more often in the future. If we and other cultivators only
It's not a good thing to be alone. Helping people kill demons is not only a good deed but also a practice. Besides, this may also be an opportunity to make a fortune."
"How to get rich?" Xu Chen was confused.
Brother Ninth laughed dryly and said: "Now that our Taiyuan Sect's poor medicine fields are gone, I'm afraid we will have to find ways to get the elixirs by ourselves in the future. If we can really rescue the two guys from the Wulei Sect, we will try to get some magic pills by then.
The medicine must be fine."
Xu Chen's face twitched slightly, and he said through the voice: "If I can't be rescued, wouldn't my trip be in vain?"
The Ninth Senior Brother said: "Wealth can be gained through risk. If you don't take some risks, there will be no gain. In the future, when my junior brother has more experience, he will naturally understand. In addition, although Song Qingshi's cultivation looks good, in fact, his magic weapons and spells are very rubbish. He
They all managed to escape unscathed, so there shouldn't be much danger inside."
Xu Chen suddenly felt confused and asked: "Then why did Senior Brother ask them to find Third Senior Uncle?"
"Just in case, in case we fall into it, so don't be reckless in anything. Even if you take risks, you still need to leave a way out for yourself. You only have one life, so don't be careless, little junior brother
But remember it!"
"Yes, thank you senior brother for your teaching!"
Although Xu Chen was not very fond of Ninth Senior Brother and had always resented the job of picking up excrement to him, in fact, this matter had nothing to do with Ninth Senior Brother. It was mainly due to the arrangement of the sect, and also the Seventh Senior Sister's suggestion.
Coupled with his unreliable master, after all, he is the most suitable person for the job of picking up excrement and taking care of the medicine garden in the whole mountain. No one can blame him.
The four of them raced all the way without stopping.
Brother Ninth Brother and Zhao Xuan had enough energy to fly hundreds of miles in one breath without any problem. However, Song Qingshi consumed a lot of energy, so their energy was a little weak. However, they still gritted their teeth and tried their best to save people, and even took a Qi-Building Pill.
.
Soon after more than half an hour passed, a black air appeared in the southeast front, like a black wind swirling over the mountains, which was the Black Wind Ridge.
Sure enough, after the four people flew forward for more than ten miles, the black air became more and more obvious. They saw a black air that looked like a demon wind filling the area for dozens of miles, covering several mountain tops, and a bare and steep mountain loomed in the center.
The mountains seem like another world, incompatible with the surrounding green mountains, and it makes you feel frightened just looking at them.
In the surrounding mountains and fields, there are sounds of roars and roars of various beasts everywhere, which can send chills down your spine.
"Three fellow Taoists, we will drop down not far from the crack on the right!" Song Qingshi's spiritual voice came to his ears.
"Okay, Fellow Daoist Song, lead the way!" Senior Brother Ninth nodded in response.
Soon Song Qingshi dropped his sword to the right side of Heifeng Ridge, and the three of them followed closely. Soon, the four of them sheathed their swords and landed on a desolate and hard rock, surrounded by flowing black mist.
The same black wind, although there is no discomfort when breathing in it, the consciousness will indeed be affected to some extent.
Xu Chen felt that his consciousness, which could normally stretch ten feet clearly, was now very blurry. The range of perception did not shrink, but the clarity was much worse, as if it was covered by the black mist.
In fact, without the use of spiritual consciousness, one can vaguely see the area of several tens of feet in the surrounding area. At present, twenty feet away from the four people, there is a crack, which appears out of thin air on the bare and steep cliff. It is more than a hundred feet long and looks like a picture.
The grown-up terrifying monster has a big mouth and keeps spitting out black gas.
This is the real reason for the formation of Black Wind Ridge.
However, no one knows why this crack is spewing black air. It is said that it has been spraying for tens of thousands of years. Many monks have gone down to investigate before, but the results are no explanation. They only know that the terrain inside is very complicated, and almost the entire mountain is covered with water.
It is in a mid-air state, densely packed like a rolled-up spider web, with cracks and holes everywhere, becoming more dense as you go deeper, and some people who go down never come out again.
There is danger and there are no treasures, so this place has become a bad place that all monks keep away from, and almost no one comes to visit.
The four of them slowly walked to the front of the crack.
At this time, I could see it more clearly. The entire fissure was tilted along with the mountain. It was more than ten feet high. The entrance of the cave was blown by the black wind all the year round, causing the rocks to appear smooth, as clean as a dog licking them.
, can't find anything that can be grasped.
"Fellow Daoist Song, how long has it been since you went down there before, and how deep did you go?"
Looking at the dark hole in front of him that was constantly spewing black gas, Brother Ninth's expression became very solemn.
"For about three hours, the four of me went down together. We got separated after walking about a mile, so I didn't go deeper. Later, I encountered an unknown monster and fought with it twice before escaping through luck." Song
Qingshi quickly explained.
Zhao Xuan raised her flying sword and frowned: "I have been to Black Wind Ridge once before, but the black mist was not so fierce, and the coverage area was much smaller than it is now, with only 30% of the area. Why did it suddenly become like this?
"
Song Qingshi smiled bitterly and said: "I'm also puzzled about this matter. I came here once two years ago and it was not like this."
Brother Ninth held his chin and nodded: "It seems that something happened under the crack, which caused the black wind to become stronger. This may also be the reason for the restlessness of wild beasts and monsters."
Song Qingshi nodded quickly and said: "I also judged the same, so I determined the cause of the beast's restlessness here. I thought there would be no danger, but I didn't expect that three fellow Taoists were trapped."
Senior Brother Ninth stared at the depths of the crack for a long time and said: "It doesn't look like there is much danger at the moment. Since we are here, we still have to go in and investigate. Junior Brother is outside. I will go in with Junior Sister Zhao and Daoist Song."
"Okay!" Neither of them had any doubts, and Xu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at this black crack, his hair stood on end. He would rather face a second-level monster alone than risk venturing into a place he didn't understand.
"Remember, everyone gathers together after entering. Once you find that your consciousness is seriously disturbed, you must exit."
Brother Ninth warned Zhao Xuan and Song Qingshi, and then turned to tell Xu Chen: "If we go in and still don't come out within an hour, Brother Ninth, please hurry back to the mountain gate to ask for the Third Elder. Don't go in to search."
"Okay, senior fellow apprentice and fellow Daoist Song, be careful. By the way, senior fellow apprentice is holding this spiritual talisman for self-defense!"
Xu Chen nodded in agreement, and took out the only remaining attack talisman and handed it to Brother Ninth.
The Ninth Senior Brother grinned and grabbed it in his hand without politeness and said with a smile: "Young Junior Brother is determined. Don't worry, Senior Brother will be fine."
"By the way, get a few more Dayuan Dan for later use!"
Xu Chen thought that he had given away all the treasures anyway, so he simply took out the jade bottle and poured three Dayuan Dan out. Brother Ninth was stunned for a moment and put it into his bag, said with a smile, and then threw it to Xu
I turned around and left in the morning.
Xu Chen was confused, so Zhao Xuan glared at him hard and followed him without saying a word.
Only then did Song Qingshi come to his senses, his Adam's apple curled up and he cupped his hands to Xu Chen: "The Taiyuan Sect is really strong. It's not just me and the hard-working casual cultivators. I would like to thank fellow Taoist Xu this time. If we can rescue these three fellow Taoists, in the future we will
I must go to the mountain gate to thank you in person!"
Xu Chen quickly waved his hands and said: "I don't dare, I just hope I can save people!"
"Fellow Daoist Xu, be careful outside."
After saying that, Song Qingshi quickly followed, and in an instant the three figures disappeared into the black mist of the crack.
Xu Chen didn't dare to go far, so he found a stone and sat down cross-legged behind it, and at the same time released a ray of consciousness to monitor the surrounding situation.
