Mortal Bones

Chapter 98: The fourth floor, a boy herding sheep on the mountain

"Chiji..."

"Gah...gah..."

"What..."

"What..."

The next moment he walked in, after a brief period of darkness, Xu Taiping first heard the chirping of chickens and ducks, and then a lush green countryside appeared in front of him.

Looking down and looking around, he found that he, Mr. Zhang, Nan Xing and the others were standing on a hillside covered with lush weeds.

The endless hillside is covered with green grass and dotted with yellow or white wild flowers, which makes people feel comfortable physically and mentally.

To the west of this slope, a young man was lying on a huge black dog reading a book, while sheep grazed leisurely around him.

There are also a group of chickens and ducks nearby, "chicking" and "quacking" catching bugs in the grass.

It seems that they all belong to this young man's family.

"whee……"

The young man seemed to have seen an interesting passage in the book, and couldn't help but grin. Then he turned over and changed his posture and continued to leisurely read the book in his hand.

Seeing this scene, Xu Taiping and Nan Xing and others on the side also raised the corners of their mouths inexplicably.

Although there is nothing special about the scenery in front of them, and the young man is also slovenly, it makes everyone feel calm and warm inexplicably.

Especially with the smoke rising from the bottom of the hillside and the shouts of vendors from time to time.

"Sir, look behind you."

At this time, Mr. Zhang suddenly patted Xu Taiping on the shoulder and pointed behind him.

Xu Taiping immediately turned around and saw a mountain peak that seemed to be coated with a layer of gold foil. The top of the mountain peak was even submerged in the clouds.

"Is this Jinding Mountain?"

Xu Taiping blurted out.

In order to allow him to quickly recognize his location when he climbed the tower, among the information Ye Chensha gave him, there was a precious fourth-level terrain map and several scenes.

Although he couldn't bring this map in, Xu Taiping had already remembered them vividly in his mind by relying on his memory.

That's why we can recognize Jinding Mountain at a glance.

"Young Master, you actually know this too?"

Mr. Zhang's eyes lit up, and Xuanjie didn't hold back anymore and directly proposed to Xu Taiping:

"Sir, Jinding Mountain is full of spiritual energy, which is just suitable for setting up formations. Time is running out. Yuzhu and I will set up a formation to cover up the body and aura first."

"Mr. Zhang, go with Miss Yuzhu. Brother Zhai Mo and I will keep watch below, just in case."

Xu Taiping knew that time was tight, so he didn't waste any time.

Mr. Zhang nodded, but he did not leave immediately. Instead, he took out a piece of talisman paper from his sleeve, then quickly drew a talisman with his own essence and blood and handed it to Nan Xing:

"Miss Nanxing, thirty miles to the north of Jinding Village is a small town called Qixian Town. Just in case, you can go to the town to pick us up first."

"Okay." Gongshu Nanxing quickly took the talisman.

These things had already been agreed upon by several people in the main hall where they were waiting.

After handing the talisman to Gongshu Nanxing, Mr. Zhang immediately caught up with Yuzhu, and the two quickly went up the mountainside to find a stone forest and began to arrange the formation.

The effect of the Cloud Covering Talisman is only as long as a cup of tea.

In other words, after a cup of tea, the demon cultivators in Jiuyuan will know that they have entered the fourth floor of Xuanhuang Tower and know their approximate location.

Therefore, they must try their best to arrange the formation before this to avoid Jiuyuan's pursuit.

"Miss Nanxing, please take this sound transmission jade slip. When it arrives, you can report that you are safe. If you encounter a demon cultivator on the road, please inform us in advance."

Xu Taiping handed a sound transmission jade slip to Gongshu Nanxing.

In the first three floors of Xuanhuang Tower, apart from elixirs, such communication items were extremely rare. Even if they searched the entire first three floors, they only found a pair.

"Don't worry, young master, Nan Xing will definitely arrive at Seven Sages Town within a tea time."

Nan Xing took the jade slip, punched Xu Taiping hard, then turned around and ran down the mountain using Tianying Step.

In the blink of an eye, Gongshu Nanxing's figure disappeared on the hillside out of thin air.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Taiping and Zhai Mo saw Gongshu Nanxing running along the path of Jinding Village at the foot of the mountain.

Although at this fourth level, Xu Taiping and others cannot take action without the request of the people of Ningyuan Kingdom, but as long as they do not attack others and do not interfere in the affairs of the people of Ningyuan Kingdom, there is still no problem in using their own skills alone.

"Miss Nan Xing's Sky Shadow Step is really fast. In the blink of an eye, she has already left the village."

Zhai Mo, who was standing next to Xu Taiping, looked surprised.

"In terms of physical skills, I'm not as good as me."

Xu Taiping nodded.

At this moment, an old voice with a hoarse voice sounded in the minds of Xu Taiping and Zhai Mo at the same time——

"Trainers from outside the tower, you must complete the request of a citizen of Ningyuan Kingdom within three days before you can continue to practice on the fourth floor of Xuanhuang Tower. Otherwise, you will have to leave Xuanhuang Tower."

"On the contrary, after completion, you will receive a reward, and your energy, blood and true energy will also be improved."

Hearing this, Xu Taiping and Zhai Mo looked at each other.

Obviously, the person who just made this sound should be the tower spirit of Xuanhuang Tower.

Their appearance can be hidden from the demon cultivator, but it certainly cannot be hidden from the tower spirit.

Immediately, Zhai Mo looked at the young man on the hillside in front, and then said with a smile:

"Sir, after the talisman loses its effect, if Zhang Lao and his team haven't set up their formation yet, we can try to get close to the boy and see if he can ask us for help."

"You can try." Xu Taiping nodded.

If the talisman loses its effect and Zhang Lao and his team haven't set up their formation yet, they can indeed try to communicate with the people of Ningyuan.

By then, if Jiuyuan's people come looking for them, they can continue to hold on for a while and buy more time for Zhang Lao and his team.

"But Brother Zhai Mo, let me talk to this boy."

After taking a serious look at the burly Zhai Mo, Xu Taiping added another sentence.
