Simen Mountain is close to the western border of Sichuan. It is surrounded by high peaks and steep walls, with dead trees and rocks standing there, giving it a scene of barren mountains and dangerous water. In addition, the mountain is steep and dangerous. It is a place that mortals cannot go to, and it is not a place where sword immortals practice mountain gate.
Of course Xiao Ziyu didn't come here to practice.
Think about the world of Shushan. There are so many spiritual mountains. If you look for any place, even various caves overseas, none of them will be better than the Four Gate Mountains.
The reason why Xiao Ziyu came here was just for a person or a magic weapon.
This person is Zhu Hong, the disciple of Patriarch Hunyuan. This Patriarch Hunyuan was originally the founder of the Wutai Sect and was considered a great figure.
His cultivation strength is undoubtedly one of the best in the world, similar to the Huashan Patriarch of the Huashan Sect, and is considered to be above average among the evil sects. Of course, he is incomparable to Jiu Panpo and Old Man Shibi of the Demonic Path.
This guy used the Five Poison Flying Sword to defeat Emei Master Miaoyi Zhenren during the second sword fight in Emei, but he died from the invisible sword of the ascetic Tutuo.
The reason why he died was because of his disciple, the person Xiao Ziyu was looking for, Zhu Hong.
If this guy hadn't stolen Taiyi Wuyanluo, the natal magic weapon of Hunyuan Patriarch, I'm afraid Hunyuan Patriarch wouldn't have lost in this Emei sword fight.
It is extremely sad that a good leader of the evil sect died tragically like this 'innocently', and because he was his disciple.
But because of this reason, this guy is incompatible with both the good and the evil paths. The right path is because he is a descendant of the devil, and those people in the right path want to kill him and Hou Kuai.
And the Demonic Way is even more eager to drink his blood and eat his flesh. If he hadn't let the Hunyuan Patriarch fall for his own selfish interests, the evil sect's power would be greatly reduced, and the Demonic Way would have declined.
Of course, there is also a part of the reason, that is, it is the crime of cherishing jade. This guy holds the Taiyi Five Yanluo of Hunyuan Ancestor, which is a defensive treasure.
Who doesn't want it? The righteous path may have strong people who won't take action because of their face, but the devil's path is different.
They don't care about this. If they can get the Taiyi Five Yanluo, who cares about other things. The devil's way is about selfishness, benefiting oneself at the expense of others.
It is also because of this that even though Zhu Hong obtained the Taiyi Five Yanluo, a top-notch defensive treasure, he did not care about spreading rumors, but hid in the Four Gate Mountains, not daring to take a step.
No one else in Shushan knows the whereabouts of this guy.
But Xiao Ziyu happened to know this, and he saw this accidentally in the forum on Earth.
Arriving near Simen Mountain, Xiao Ziyu stood high in the sky, leaned down and looked down. He saw four peaks, like portals, each standing in a circle.
There is an empty basin in the middle. It is faintly visible that there are evil spirits gathering in the mountains and the spiritual power is thin. It is indeed a rare dangerous mountain and bad water in the vast wilderness of Jiuzhou.
Of course, it is because of these dangerous mountains and rivers that no one will know about it. After all, whether they are cultivating immortals or demons, they must find a place with sufficient spiritual energy.
So this Simen Mountain is indeed a good place to hide.
"However, no matter how well you hide it, you can't trouble me as a time traveler." Xiao Ziyu looked at the mountains below and smiled.
So Xiao Ziyu quietly disappeared from the light, lowered his figure, and slowly stopped in the Simen Valley.
The trees in the valley stand tall on the mountain walls. Although the valley is deserted, it is autumn at this time. Logically speaking, there should be piles of dead branches and leaves in the valley.
However, the reality is not like this. Although there are such dead leaves, compared with the trees on the surrounding mountain walls, they are definitely not just a few.
From this, it can be confirmed that there must be people living in this valley. In this way, Xiao Ziyu is even more certain that Zhu Hong must live in the valley.
At the same time, if you look carefully, you can faintly see a layer of black air mixed in under the ground in the valley. If you think about it carefully, this is definitely not a natural thing, but a sign derived from some kind of prohibition.
.
After gathering his breath and coming to this valley, Xiao Ziyu began to look for the entrance to the cave where Zhu Hong was.
There are no buildings in this valley. Obviously, Zhu Hong can only live in a cave if he wants to live.
Of course, living in this cave is definitely more secluded than building a house in a valley.
"Hey! Found it!"
The power of the soul continued to spread out, and Xiao Ziyu soon discovered something unusual, there were traces of the spiritual power of the formation. At the same time, he also discovered the entrance to the cave where the spiritual energy overflowed.
"This should be Zhu Hong's cave."
The smile on Xiao Ziyu's face suddenly appeared.
After carefully feeling the formation restriction arranged by Zhu Hong, he found that it was extremely ordinary. He quickly found the missing door, and then Xiao Ziyu avoided the formation with a smile and entered the cave.
"Drink! This guy has arranged his cave well." Looking at the passage of the cave, the stone walls above were inlaid with night pearls and other luminous gems, Xiao Ziyu also secretly smiled.
After entering the cave, Xiao Ziyu discovered that there were several stone chambers in the cave, but one of them had a ban on it.
Feeling the restriction of this stone chamber, even with his current cultivation level, it is almost impossible to enter this stone chamber without touching the restriction.
"Well! If Zhu Hong didn't carry the Taiyi Five Yanluo with him, I'm afraid this stone room is where the Taiyi Five Yanluo is stored."
"It seems the only option is to grab it by force."
Xiao Ziyu thought to himself.
Xiao Ziyu is not afraid of Zhu Hong at all. This guy's strength is not in Xiao Ziyu's eyes at all.
Although his master Hunyuan Patriarch may be an Earth Immortal or a San Immortal in terms of strength, he Zhu Hong is far behind.
At most, he is just a little brat in the Yuanshen realm.
Think about it, in the original work, this guy will be eliminated by the three generations of disciples of the Emei Sect decades later. What kind of strength does he have?
Even though he has this supreme treasure of Taiyi Five Yanluo, this defensive treasure depends on who uses it. If the Hunyuan Patriarch uses it, there are only a few people in the world who can break through the defense.
The top level of Earthly Immortal.
But if Zhu Hong uses it, any loose immortal can kill him, and even some strong men in the Yuan Shen realm can kill him.
Yuan Shen searched around, but found no Zhu Hong in the cave, and didn't know where he had gone.
Immediately, his consciousness passed through the stone wall and began to carefully observe this restriction.
Layers of black smoke filled the air, and among them, little red sparks could be seen faintly rising and falling, changing without any reason.
Xiao Ziyu knew that this was a heretical formation restriction, and it was very strange. However, with his current level of cultivation, he did not need to understand this formation at all. He could directly use force to break the formation and break the base of the formation, and the formation restriction would not be attacked.
