Strange mountains and rivers

From Anjiaji to Wolongling, we passed through Tangshui Road, Zhaigu Road and Fuyang Road.

Wolong Ridge is located in the southeast of Fuyang Road, adjacent to Zhaigu Road and Pingchang Road.

The six roads in Yanzhou are Zhangchi Road, Pingchang Road, Tangshui Road, Zhaigu Road, Fuyang Road and Hanshan Road.

Compared with the land of Da Zhao, except for the peripheral areas which are mostly mountainous, the hinterland is mostly fertile fields and fertile soil with plains and shallow hills. The land of Hebei is quite different.

In addition to the impact plains along the north bank of the river for dozens of miles, going further north begins to enter the rolling mountains.

There are endless valleys and basins in the mountains, which have also become places for mortals to live together, and some places with rich spiritual energy have naturally become the settlement places for cultivating forces.

The Zhai Valley Road is dominated by valleys. The group walked through valleys and dams for two consecutive days, and the frequency of monster beasts increased greatly.

Moyun White Eagle, Red-Eyed Ice Wolf, Transformed Jackal appeared one after another, and even the Five-Hearted Charming Cat, a second-order monster that could not be seen in the territory of Zhao, were seen one after another. As for the first-order monster, They are often seen on the roadside, which makes the group quite nervous.

On the third day when they were about to enter the market town, a red-eyed ice wolf made a sneak attack and killed a good horse. However, Wang Yao immediately killed the red-eyed ice wolf. This was also the group's first harvest after entering Hebei. .

It's just that this red-eyed ice wolf is only in his twenties or thirties, and has little other value except skin and meat.

After entering Fuyang Road, the terrain gradually opened up and the group speeded up.

"Where is that place?" Chen Huaisheng asked, pointing to a shadowy city on the horizon in the distance.

"Jingling City." Chen Song glanced at it and said casually: "During the chaotic wars in the Middle Ages, Han Xinhou Cheng Wenchang faced the Shanrong army here. The two sides fought fiercely for several months and suffered heavy casualties. After this battle, Han Xinhou could not bear the serious injuries and finally became depressed. He died, and Shanrong's vitality was severely injured, and later split into Xirong and Lirong, and Lirong later split into Beirong and Guzhu,..."

"This city now..." Chen Huaisheng felt from a distance that this city did not seem to be inhabited.

"It has been abandoned for hundreds of years. It is said that there were too many casualties in that battle and so many ghosts wandered away that the city was always shrouded in gloom, blocking the sky and the sun. It was difficult to see the sun for a year, and then gradually became deserted. If you dare to live here, it will be abandoned."

Chen Song's words really interested Chen Huaisheng.

The history of this world is different from any history I knew in my previous life.

The medieval era probably refers to the era about one thousand years ago, while the ancient era refers to about two thousand years ago, and the ancient era refers to the era three thousand years ago or even longer.

He feels that the current Zhao is more similar to the Northern Song Dynasty in previous history.

As for why the Tang Dynasty, Southern Chu, and Wu Yue appeared again, it is a bit like the situation before the Northern Song Dynasty was unified, and the Beirong might be the Jurchens or Khitans?

The war-torn times in the Middle Ages are like the Han Dynasty, the ancient times should be the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the ancient times can only be the Shang, Zhou, or even the more distant Yanhuang and Chiyou eras.

It's just that this is not an era where mortals can dominate by force, but an era of monks dominated by cultivation of immortality. This is the real core combat power. No matter how many mortals there are, it is useless.

"Is there no one living around here?" Chen Huaisheng asked again.

"There seems to be no one living within thirty miles." Chen Song said: "It's a pity that there are many spiritual fields around here, but they can only be abandoned."

Chen Huaisheng shook his head: "It would be a waste to give up just because the yin energy is too strong. Are there any other reasons?"

"I haven't heard much about it, but it has been passed down that this is where the Yin Eye lies underground. After that battle, many wronged souls failed to reincarnate, so the wronged souls used the energy of the Yin Eye to condense their ghosts, and the people and animals around them would be haunted for their lives. But where the source comes from, whether it exists, and whether it is credible or not, there is no certainty, but it has been passed down for hundreds of years, so no one takes the risk."

Chen Song didn't know why this person seemed to be interested in everything.

Jinling City has been standing here for thousands of years, but no one has ever come here to take advantage of it. Why was he so interested when he came here? Is he really not afraid of evil things like ghosts and ghosts?

Chen Huaisheng made a note of this.

It might be a good thing for him that his ghost soul is wandering, because the resentful spirit in his body is in short supply.

If the lonely ghosts who have been wandering in Jinling City for thousands of years have not been able to find peace, then it will be beneficial to everyone to find an opportunity to free them.

After passing Jinling City, it will be less than two hundred miles away from Wolong Ridge.

The terrain began to undulate slightly, and one could feel the richness of the spiritual energy increasing significantly. When the majestic mountains of Kaolin came into view, everyone knew that this should be Wolong Ridge.

Compared with Xuankong Mountain, Wolong Ridge is said to be much lower, but in the eyes of people who are used to the treasure land of Lingshan Mountain in Langling, the mountains and peaks here are still much steeper and more towering.

The vegetation is still green, but the vast stretches of cliffs stand thousands of feet tall, with ravines and narrow paths winding through the mountains.

Looking at the main peak, Zhengshan, looming in the clouds and mist in the distance, and looking to both sides, you can't see the end at all.

"From here on, we basically enter Wolong Ridge. Master Xu, my disciple is not very familiar with the situation here. I only went here twice after receiving your notice."

Chen Song took the reins of the horse, sat on it and looked forward, "It is said that the mountain gate archway of Dongxuan Sect was erected at the entrance of the valley in front. I have gone to see it, and there are still some remaining archway foundations and some houses. The ruins look like they were struck by lightning and burned hundreds of years ago..."

"Entering from the mouth of the valley, there is a road between two mountains for about ten miles. After exiting the road, it is divided into three paths. All the way to the north is the main path leading to Longshou Peak, and to the west is Canglong Bei. The terrain is compared with Longshou Peak. The first peak is slightly gentle, but it climbs up step by step all the way to the highest point, Longji Ridge. Finally, it goes all the way down to the west. However, this mountainous area is extremely dangerous and no one has ever walked through it. To the east, it is called Longlin Plateau, which is a low-lying mountain. It is a short mountainous area, but only relatively speaking. There are many valleys and dams scattered around, and the spiritual fields and spiritual lands are mainly in that area. It is said that the Taoist temple of Dongxuan Sect was mainly built in this area, and the Longshou Peak is only As the central setting of the mountain protection formation,..."

You can't feel it just by listening to Chen Song's introduction. Only by actually riding a horse can you know the depth here.

The group's horses were placed at the Yukou Archway ruins.

If you go further up the horse, you can't go any further, you can only walk or fly.

"Master Xu, my disciples have asked people about the situation in Wolong Ridge, but they are not very clear. The spiritual energy is too strong for mortals to bear. There are very few mortals living within ten miles around. At the same time, because of the strong spiritual energy, It inevitably attracted many monsters and spiritual beasts to come here. Ordinary Taoists and monks did not dare to come here. The disciple knew two casual cultivators and asked them to accompany him twice, but they did not dare to go deep. When we arrived at Longlin Plain, we encountered two long-tailed black weasels, a group of ghost crows, and an ice-scale blood python..."

The long-tailed black weasel and the ghost crow are both first-order monsters, and they both like to build large holes in places with shady spiritual energy as their nests. The ice-scale blood python is a second-order monster.

"There is also an ice-scaled blood python, then you..." Xu Muyang was also surprised.

"After discovering the traces of the Ice Scale Blood Python, we didn't dare to go any further and retreated directly..." Chen Song shook his head, "Dragon Scale Plain is very scattered and widely distributed, and there are many remaining houses in it. It's just that It has been uninhabited for hundreds of years, and most of them are unusable. If our sect chooses that place as a Taoist temple, it will probably require a lot of effort to clean it up, but in any case, it will definitely be much more convenient than rebuilding it in other places. …”

Xu Muyang and Wang Yao were both looking into the mountain from a hill at the highest point of the valley.

At this time, the golden crow is shining high, the clouds are steaming and the clouds are bright, and the whole mountain is full of fairy atmosphere.

The humid mist also began to slowly disperse, and the chirping of birds and beasts in the mountains echoed through the valley. It really felt like the treasure of the Lingshan Mountain.

Xu Muyang looked at it for a long time before jumping down the hill, "Let's go, you have to go in and take a look before you know whether it's suitable or not."

The group of people followed Chen Song's lead and took the easternmost road. The terrain along this road was gentle, up and down, and the peaks and valleys on both sides were not too steep.

Especially after entering a few miles, the land becomes more open. Several streams run parallel to the east, with gurgling water. From time to time, there are one or two springs and pools. The vegetation is lush, and you can even see some spiritual grass and spiritual materials.

Of course, it's nothing special, but it's enough to show that the spiritual energy and spiritual springs here are great.

In such a blessed land, no one cares about this Fuyang Road? No one cares about the Six Paths of Yanzhou?

It's okay if you say that Da Zhao doesn't know the situation, but there are still many casual cultivators and aristocratic sects on Fuyang Road. Although they are not strong, don't they even dare to get involved in such a place?

Do you not know about the scattered cultivators of the Six Paths of Yanzhou? Just because of an ice-scaled blood python?

There must be something wrong here.

When Chen Huaisheng raised his questions and worries to Xu Muyang and Wang Yao, Xu Muyang also told him very clearly: "There must be a problem. The boss and the others also know some of the situation, but based on several other situations, , they still think Wolong Ridge is the most suitable.”

"Oh?" Since they knew there were problems here, Shang Jiuling and Zhu Fengbi still chose this place, which meant that the problems could be solved and overcome. However, Xu Muyang didn't say anything, and Chen Huaisheng didn't ask.

As they gradually deepened, contiguous building complexes began to appear in front of everyone, but many building courtyards were in ruins, and some seemed to be well preserved, but there was a question mark as to whether they could actually be used.

Everyone also began to look around to see the surrounding situation, and Wang Yao and Chen Huaisheng also began to consider how to plan and utilize these original buildings if the site was chosen as a Taoist temple.
