Predecessors all over the world

Zhongzhou.

The lush woods blew in the night wind, making rustling sounds. Bats flew out of the cave in groups, clattering overhead. The stream gurgled, and a pair of green eyes occasionally flashed by the river bank, and frogs croaked one after another.

Under the bright moonlight, two figures appeared on the dark mountain road.

One of them was short in stature and walked in front with his hands behind his back. From time to time he coughed, letting out a breath or two, which immediately frightened the peeping beasts into fleeing. The other person was slim and frail, with a touch of charming charm in his coolness.

In addition to pity, people also coveted him.

The former is City Lord Qin, and the latter is none other than Yin Miaomiao who is pretending to be Yulong.

She learned from Yulong's memory that after coming to Qin City, Fairy Yulong turned away from the charm and strength of the Yu family, pretending to be a weak woman with no independent opinions, and deceived the old city lord of Qin with her sweet words, making him think that although she was

He holds power for a while, but has neither ambition nor ability, so he is not worth guarding against.

The old city lord of Qin grew up in Zhongzhou and had deep-rooted prejudices. He thought that the Yu clan lived in a corner and was still a small barbarian country. It would not be difficult to govern, and it was impossible for women to have any great abilities. He really believed it.

At this time, he was seriously injured and faced the crisis of a joint attack between Chu and Wu. He never thought that Yulong was secretly planning for him to die early so that he could listen to politics behind the curtain and occupy the magpie's nest. He even asked her to go out together and came here quietly.

Hidden place.

Yin Miaomiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but since Yulong was chosen to play the role, of course she couldn't express her thoughts, so she asked in a very playful tone: "City Lord, why are you bringing me here in the middle of the night? Your injury is not healed yet."

City Lord Qin could not recognize the true face of the real Yulong, nor could he distinguish the acting skills of the fake Yulong. He said: "The one named Chu and the one named Wu are flirting with each other, and they are communicating secretly. Although I am not afraid of them, they are both in the Nascent Soul realm."

, we can’t rely on it. If they join forces, how could I not make preparations in advance?”

"Then we should stay in Qincheng, and at least we will have the advantage of the location." Yin Miaomiao pretended vividly.

"A woman's opinion!" City Lord Qin shouted, but he was not really angry. He was half explaining and half showing off, "What you think of, they can't think of? You must have tried every means to lure me out of the city, huh, I know very well in my heart, just like

It’s what they want, but they won’t know it, and it’s what I want.”

Yin Miaomiao pretended to be surprised: "It turns out that the city lord wants to give them a mantis to catch the cicada. The oriole is behind, so I am too shallow."

The Lord of Qin City is already old and has many beauties to serve him. However, the praise from the female cultivator who is also a Nascent Soul still made him quite proud. He comforted him and said: "The Yu family lives in a corner and doesn't know how to be prepared for danger in times of peace. You can be forgiven for not knowing."

Yin Miaomiao laughed and changed the subject: "I have never been to this place, so I don't know what's so special about it?"

When business was brought up, City Lord Qin calmed down and said, "Very few people know about this place. It was originally the mountain behind the Four Elephants Gate."

"Four Elephants Gate?"

City Lord Qin gave a brief introduction to this sect.

More than a thousand years ago, the Four Elephants Sect was the largest sect in Central Continent. At that time, the Youshui Palace was already there. It was mysterious and unpredictable. When people mentioned it, it was said to be evil. The Beidou Hall began to take shape. A group of sword cultivators gathered together and broke out.

He gained some fame. The founder of Renxin Academy is still giving lectures in the mortal world.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Four Elephants Sect was the leader in Central Continent back then.

But prosperity is fleeting, prosperity fades, and declines and dies are the unchanging truths in the world. The Sixiang Sect was cooked by fire and flourished for hundreds of years. In the end, because the elders in the sect fell one after another, the successors

There was no one, and the disciples were using their power to bully others, so they were slowly defeated.

City Lord Qin's master was the last disciple of the Four Elephant Sect. When he was still alive, he mentioned the sunset of this sect. It was said that on that day, the sky was filled with sunset and the red sun was setting in the west. The disciples plundered everything in the mountain gate.

The valuable ones had long been stolen away by the disciples in front of me, and what was left was nothing more than medicinal fields, grass, trees, monsters, stone bricks, etc. They were all dug up. Even the gold and jade on the statues were scraped away, and they were taken away and brought back to the mortal world.

, buy a field, keep servants and maids, and live a life of wealth and honor.

In the end, there was nothing.

The disciples dispersed and became casual cultivators.

City Lord Qin's master lived in exile for half his life, only to build the foundation before he died. What he never forgot about during his lifetime was the Four Elephants Sect. What he hated most was that he was not born hundreds of years earlier and became a helpless monk.

After his death, City Lord Qin, with some curiosity and some suspicion, followed the clues and found the top of the mountain where there was smoke and grass.

"The decline of Sixiang Sect is a bit unusual. As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No matter what, they can survive for hundreds of years with their family wealth. But in just fifty or sixty years, the entire sect has declined.

The defeat was outrageous. There must be a reason for it." City Lord Qin showed a shrewdness befitting his position and said, "After I got the golden elixir, I came back again, and I really discovered something fishy."

Yin Miaomiao is considered young even in Yuanying, and she is not of the same generation as Old City Master Qin. She has never heard of these things, so she asked with great interest: "What happened?"

City Lord Qin smiled and said, "You will find out if you come with me and take a look."

While we were talking, we had already arrived at the place.

Yin Miaomiao looked intently, and saw that the night was no hindrance to her, and every detail of vegetation, birds, and insects was visible. She searched around among the piles of rocks and saw three unusual fluctuations, which were a little distorted. She thought they were undoubtedly illusions. They were not far away.

There is a tree root somewhere. It looks unremarkable on the outside, but it smells faintly.

She had an idea in her mind and pretended not to know, watching City Lord Qin's actions. She saw him avoiding the location of the illusion, walking to the root of a tree, taking something and shaking it. The ground shook, and the tree split from the middle, revealing an original

There is no way to come.

"Follow me." City Lord Qin walked in slowly.

Yin Miaomiao followed.

Walking into it, the view is different. A vague sense of blood lingers in the sky, and there are twisted human faces hidden in the air, as if there is a lot of unwilling resentment gathered there.

She secretly marveled that she didn't know what happened to the Four Elephants Gate, but it actually left behind such a strange scene that still hasn't disappeared hundreds of years later.

"Did you notice anything?" Master Qin Cheng examined her.

Yin Miaomiao smiled: "The blood here is strong, and the resentment is hard to eliminate. If I hadn't heard about the past, I would have thought that someone came up to the mountain. But since I lost, I'm afraid there is something fishy."

"Yes, I have explored it several times and pieced together some clues." City Lord Qin stopped, pointed to the depths of the woods in front of him, and said, "This is the back mountain of the Four Elephant Gate, and it is not taken seriously.

They were just some flowers and plants. But one year there was an earthquake in Zhongzhou, and a crack opened in the mountains."

Yin Miaomiao's eyelids twitched.

"I don't know the specifics. There is always something abnormal. The Four Symbols Sect sent people to investigate. Who would have thought that they would suffer a misfortune. Many people died, including the golden elixir and even Yuanying in the sect, so their vitality was greatly damaged. Later, they

I cast a spell to seal the place, and sent people to explore it, but found nothing, even the treasures were lost here, so I had no choice but to give it up."

The treasure in the mouth of City Lord Qin was naturally the dragon claw in his hand. However, the magical elixir was a monk's most precious treasure, so of course he would not tell Yulong clearly and take it with him.

"You have defeated many mainstay disciples in one breath, no wonder you will lose." Yin Miaomiao said, "Does the city lord want to take advantage of the weirdness here to kill Chu and Wu?"

City Lord Qin nodded and said: "This outer layer cannot trap them, let's go inside."

He walked ahead again.

The deeper you go, the blood resentment may not become thicker, but it becomes more and more uncomfortable. Yin Miaomiao frowned without leaving a trace. The originally clear vision was actually covered with a layer of smoke, and many ears disappeared.

Japan's gibbering has returned to its old ways, disturbing people's tranquility.

What's in here?

"Let's stop here." City Lord Qin pointed at the surrounding rocks.

There are obviously trees, grass, and first-class streams here. It is a normal forest scene, but when one is inside, what one sees is something different.

Trees are monsters, with their thin and strange branches always in the most subtle places, just blocking the way; the green grass is like a poisonous mire, if you step on it accidentally, you will be dragged underground and unable to survive; the stream is the most terrifying,

It's like a ferocious beast swallowing saliva, "Gulu" and "Gulu" sucking human bone marrow and brain plasma, making people shudder.

Yin Miaomiao lowered her voice involuntarily: "What is going on?"

"I've never been inside, it's very dangerous." City Lord Qin also frowned. This place was weirder than what he remembered. The hair on the back of his neck stood up, and he instinctively felt that it was extremely dangerous.

Yin Miaomiao looked around and said: "If the city lord is not completely sure, it is better not to set up a trap here." Otherwise, he would shoot himself in the foot and he would not be able to escape.

City Master Qin showed some doubts on his face, but after thinking about it for a while, he still insisted: "You don't know. The man named Wu was originally a disciple of Youshui Palace. He learned a ghost technique and can exert it at night when there is no light.

Show extraordinary strength.

"In a few days, there will be a rare Tengu eclipse. It is the best time to use this technique, and they will never let it go. And I am a martial artist, and my spiritual consciousness is just ordinary, and there is no chance of winning. Time

I was in a hurry and had no second choice. And since I had been here before, I had the upper hand after all.

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs. You don't have to persuade me. If you don't want to help me, I won't force you. You can go back by yourself. From now on, Qin City will have nothing to do with you."

He is shrewd and takes retreat to advance. If Yulong was here, he would not choose to leave, let alone her. Yin Miaomiao sighed secretly and said: "The city lord said this, I feel relieved."

City Lord Qin was very satisfied.

He was willing to reveal all the secrets of the Four Elephant Sect, of course, not because of her beauty, but because of Yulong's strength. Although she was born in a remote place and had no magic weapon that she could use, her cultivation level was there.

It is a big help to you.

It's not that I haven't considered uniting with Qi and Yue, but the old alliance between Qi and Chu is in front, and Yue is weak, so I definitely don't dare to wade into the muddy water, so asking is in vain.

In contrast, Yulong from Xizhou has a clean identity and is known as husband and wife to him, sharing weal and woe, so he is a reliable choice.

"I will ask someone to pretend to be you and stay in the city. You will ambush here and take action when I lure them here." City Lord Qin took out the prepared magic weapon and hidden weapon, and set up an ambush according to the terrain. He gave detailed instructions and finally said.

, "This place is so weird and unpredictable that it may not be broken by the power of the Nascent Soul. Otherwise, the Four Elephants Gate wouldn't be like this."

Yin Miaomiao heard the elegant meaning of Xiange and said deliberately: "Don't worry, city lord, I know the importance of this concubine and will never go deep into it rashly. Chu and Wu are ambitious, and solving them is the most important thing."

However, even with her promise, City Lord Qin still felt uneasy. People and wealth would die, and birds would die for food. The Four Elephants Sect has such a big business here, who can not be tempted? He had gone through a lot of hard work to find this place, wasn't it the same?

Is it out of greed?

But now there is no other helper, so I have to believe it even if I don’t believe it. Any more warnings will be superfluous, so I pretend to feel relieved and leave.

As soon as he left, Yin Miaomiao frowned.

What Dai Yu is looking for is a similar evil spirit. If the other party has been keeping an eye on City Lord Qin and followed him all the way here, things will be in trouble.

The author has something to say: Okay, the four auxiliary lines in the southeast, northwest and northwest have been closed, the two waves of battles between Qin Ziyu and Chu Chan in Zhongzhou have also been over, and the battle in the five cities has officially begun.

Next it’s Miaomiao’s turn, and the plot of the five cities should run parallel to the main plot.
