According to legend, in ancient times, the Emperor Shen Nong of the Earth tasted hundreds of herbs and led his people to a high mountain.
Seeing that the mountains here are steep and the forests are everywhere, he believed that there must be a hidden secret of strange medicine. He first taught the people to "build a log into a house to avoid danger"; then he taught the people to "build a log into a ladder to help climb"; he collected 400 good medicines. After planting the seeds, he wrote "Shen Nong's Materia Medica".
In order to return his mission to the Emperor of Heaven, he 'erected a tree as an altar and flew into the sky astride a crane'. Later generations remembered the kindness of their ancestors and called this high mountain Shennongjia.
Xu Junming doesn't know whether the legend is true or not.
Anyway, this is the first time he has come here in his two lives. But not to mention, compared to Luofu Mountain, the main altar of the Southern Sect of Maoshan Mountain, Shennongjia Mountain is a chain of mountains, extremely steep, with dangerous cliffs densely covered with strange rocks, and strange pines and flowers. It has a unique flavor. .
When the mountain became steeper and it was no longer possible to ride a horse, Yu Yinggu turned over and reached out to make a move. Xu Junming's buttocks flew away and he fell to the ground.
"Follow me, we're almost there!"
Xu Junming nodded and touched his butt.
"Pity!"
He also wanted a useful tool for traveling, such as a wooden cow and a flowing horse. However, this thing was too precious. He didn't get the remaining half of "Aoki Shogen Kung" and he was too embarrassed to ask.
The two of them were like lightning, meandering forward on the rugged mountain road. After about an hour, they reached the depths of Shennongjia.
Climbing up and reaching a cliff, Yu Yinggu suddenly stopped.
"This is it!"
Xu Junming stopped and took a look. In front of him was a large valley that was approximately circular and nearly three kilometers in diameter.
There was a faint black mist filling the tiankeng. Even if the sky was bright and standing on the top of the valley, it was impossible to see clearly what was going on inside. Even if Xu Junming used the celestial eye talisman, it seemed like something was blocking his sight.
"This is the 'Black Hades Valley'?"
Yu Yinggu nodded excitedly.
"I was chased by the enemy, so I hid in this valley out of desperation. As a result, I got the inheritance by chance. However, my qualifications are limited. I only have a half-step of the 'Aoki Shangyuan Gong' and the top-grade Dongzhen 'White Spirit Apricot'."
After Xu Junming nodded, "What is the origin of this black fog in the valley? It seems to block the line of sight!"
"I don't know what this black mist is? But it can not only block sight, but also block spiritual consciousness, and it is extremely cold. The place where I fell was not far from the inheritance place, and there was a magic weapon to protect me. Fortunately, I didn't die inside. So, when you get down from here, be sure not to wander around. Otherwise, if something happens, I won't be able to save you."
Yu Yinggu took out a bundle of ropes from the bag of magic.
"This 'Thousand-foot Rope' is made of green silk hemp mixed with long snake grass. Although it is only a low-grade magic weapon with two restrictions, it is enough to help you reach the bottom of the cliff five hundred feet deep!"
"This valley is five hundred feet deep?" Xu Junming asked in surprise.
One foot is 3.3 meters, and five hundred feet is more than 1,500 meters. This depth is really amazing.
"good!"
After nodding, Yu Yinggu handed over the 'thousand-foot rope'.
"Uncle Master, don't you want to go down?"
"No! There are very strict restrictions on that place of inheritance. Only those who pass the test can enter. I'm not as qualified as you. I can't enter the second level. It's just a waste of energy to follow."
Xu Junming took a deep breath and took the thousand-foot rope.
Since you took someone else's things in the front, you have to do things for them later.
Although the 'Black Ming Valley' does not look like a good place, as things stand now, there is no choice but to go down.
“哐…!”
Yu Yinggu took out a black iron nail more than three feet long, and under the influence of magic power, it was embedded deeply into the rock.
"Tie a thousand feet of rope to this black iron nail so that you can use it when you go down!"
Xu Junming nodded, used his magic power, and briefly practiced the 'thousand-foot rope'. With a flick of his right hand, a rope about the thickness of a child's finger flew out like a snake, circled around the iron nail, and tied into a tight knot.
After tugging on it, it felt like there was no problem.
"Uncle Master, the disciple is leaving!"
"Wait a minute, there is a one-foot-tall stone statue at the entrance of the cave. Don't admit it. Also, there will be words inside to guide you on what to do. Don't make your own decisions. Otherwise, if you fall into the forbidden area, you will be in danger of life and death!"
Seeing how solemn she said it, Xu Junming also remembered it firmly in his heart.
"Jun Ming, please! When the success is achieved, my uncle will still be grateful!"
"Uncle, don't worry, my disciple will succeed immediately!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped, like a falling meteor, and quickly disappeared into the thick black mist of the valley.
"It must succeed!"
Yu Yinggu murmured to herself. She, who was already innately perfect, now became worried about gains and losses.
…
With the strong wind howling in his ears, Xu Junming frowned slightly and looked around with his eyes.
After arriving in the valley, he discovered that the black mist was even weirder than he imagined. In addition to what Yu Yinggu said, blocking sight, hindering spiritual consciousness, and being extremely cold, it also contained a weird thing that could confuse the mind.
strength!
It's just that this power is relatively weak. If he hadn't practiced the way of the soul and his soul was very sensitive, he wouldn't have been able to detect it.
“Try a bronze mirror!”
His heart moved, and the mirror image appeared in his pupils.
The sight that originally could only be seen three feet in front of me suddenly expanded to ten feet, and shadows could be seen within thirty feet!
Xu Junming breathed a sigh of relief. At least the bronze mirror's ability was not limited by the black mist.
Time passed little by little, and gradually the bottom could be seen.
Although the strange black mist was extremely cold, the valley did not freeze.
It’s just littered with rocks and no life!
After descending another ten feet, a large black hole appeared in the eyes.
Before Xu Junming could take a closer look, a strong danger signal struck his mind like lightning.
Having had such an experience before, he did not hesitate. He activated the Hu Tian Shen technique, took a step forward, and his body disappeared instantly.
"boom…!"
The air exploded!
Xu Junming looked back, his scalp was numb, and a tongue nearly two feet wide, half a man thick, and covered with barbs appeared in his original position.
The strong fishy smell is disgusting!
This giant tongue protruded from a giant cave with a diameter of more than 20 feet at the bottom of the valley. Xu Junming did not know how long it was exactly. But the size of the monster inside was definitely comparable to that on a small mountain.
Seeing the tongue retracting with a 'swish', Xu Junming couldn't care less and ran away quickly.
No matter what kind of monster is behind that tongue, judging from its size, it is definitely not something he can provoke. Running is the wisest choice.
Without the thousand-foot rope, I quickly took out the rope to tie up the body, grabbed a protruding rock on the cliff wall, and fixed my body. I looked around and found no other dangers, and breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, deep doubts arose in my heart!
"Am I being cheated?"
He doubted that Yu Yinggu really went down to the bottom of the mountain from where she was just now.
He shook his head, looking at her like that, it didn't look like he was lying. Moreover, he was a minor cultivator in the middle stage of congenital stage. What was worthy of Yinggu's innate perfection? In addition, Chen Xiaofeng, a cultivator in the late stage of congenital stage and close to perfection, joined forces to deceive.
he?!
He shook his head, and now that he was down, there was no point in thinking about it any more.
He looked around at the black mist, and then looked at his feet. The bottom of the valley was about ten feet away. Xu Junming swung the corpse rope, grabbed the rock wall, and about ten feet down, a kite turned over and landed lightly on a piece of rock.
