The First Immortal of Swordsmanship

Half an hour later.

Su Yi and Guo Bing arrived at the mass grave at the foot of Guimuling Mountain together.

There were overgrown grass and graves everywhere, and a few crows standing on the bare trees in the distance, making hoarse and unpleasant calls from time to time.

Even though it was early in the morning, the scene was still terrifying.

A group of girls in military uniforms were already waiting there.

When she saw Su Yi and Guo Bing arriving late, the girl in military uniform snorted displeasedly: "You are finally here!"

As she spoke, she got off her horse and ordered: "Leave the two of you watching the horses while Uncle Yong and the others follow me into the mountains."

"yes."

The followers immediately took action.

"Guo Bing, lead the way."

The girl in uniform ordered.

Guo Bing stepped forward quickly. Seeing this, Su Yi followed suit and said, "I'll be with you."

He had promised to take Guo Bing back safely, so naturally he would not let Guo Bing walk at the front alone.

"I didn't see it. A person like you who doesn't have a lot of food and salt still has some conscience."

The girl in military uniform sarcastically said.

Su Yi simply ignored it. He didn't even bother to vent his anger on an unruly girl who had obviously been pampered since childhood.

"Uncle Yong, you also go to the front, don't let Guo Bing get into any danger."

After thinking for a while, the girl in uniform gave another warning.

The middle-aged man in gray robe, who was called Uncle Yong, immediately stepped forward and stood guard on both sides of Guo Bing with Su Yi on the left and right.

Guo Bing was flattered and thanked him repeatedly.

Su Yi shook his head secretly. This was both a kind of protection and a kind of surveillance. There was nothing commendable about it.

Next, a group of people took action and headed deeper into the mass grave.

Along the way, we saw many tombs that had been abandoned for a long time, and some dead bones, paper money, and broken incense and candles could be seen among the weeds.

The deeper you go, the deeper the grass and the thicker the fog. Except for the occasional call of crows, it seems extremely desolate and quiet.

Guo Bing held a hunting knife in his hand, splitting the thorns and weeds blocking the path, and led the way with a familiarity.

"Uncle, what are you doing here at Guimuling this time?"

On the way, Guo Bing suddenly asked.

The girl in military uniform walking behind immediately pricked up her ears.

"Tell me first, what's weird and unusual on this Ghost Mother Ridge."

Su Yi said casually.

Guo Bing thought for a while and said: "Since ancient times, ghosts have appeared on Guimu Ridge. If we talk about weird and abnormal places, there are quite a few."

"One is a temple located in a white pine forest halfway up Guimu Ridge. It was abandoned and ruined a long time ago. Inside, there is a statue of a god sitting with his back to the door, but the head of the statue disappeared a long time ago."

"Sitting with your back to the gate? Did someone deliberately move the position of the statue?"

The girl in uniform couldn't help but said.

Su Yi suddenly said: "Why are you turning your back to the world? I sigh that all living beings refuse to look back. In my opinion, this statue should come from Buddhism."

Guo Bing was startled and said with admiration: "My uncle must have read a lot of books. He has read more books than ordinary people like us."

A cold snort came from the girl in uniform from behind, as if she was disdainful.

Su Yi turned a deaf ear and asked, "Besides the abnormal statue of the god, is there anything else weird about this temple?"

Guo Bing said: "Yes, and quite a few. It is said that every night, bursts of chanting sounds can be heard in the ruined temple, but some people say that it is the sound of ghosts whispering. The only thing that is certain is that if When you spend the night in the temple, you must not extinguish the bonfire, otherwise, you will be eaten by the ghosts hiding in the darkness. Many similar things have happened in the past."

"Ordinary ghosts can't hurt us."

The proud and confident voice of a girl in military uniform came from behind, and she had obviously been listening.

"Where are the other places in Guimu Ridge?" Su Yi asked.

Guo Bing is indeed the herb collector who knows Guimu Ridge best in Guangling City. Next, he talked about some of the conditions in Guimu Ridge.

However, there are three places that caught Su Yi's attention the most.

One is a "peach forest" located in the west direction of Guimu Ridge. The peach trees there are shrouded in miasma all year round. No matter whether people or animals stray into it, there is no way back.

One is a place called "Mountain Ghost Road", located on the backside of Guimu Ridge. The path winds in the blood-colored mist. Once you step on this road, it will be like entering the underworld, and you will be attacked by ghosts.

One is a ruined building located on the top of Guimuling Mountain. It is said that it was a City God's Temple a long time ago. When night falls, clusters of green phosphorus fire will appear here. As long as a living person gets close to it, a corpse will be destroyed. end.

In addition to these three places, there are other dangerous places on Guimu Ridge.

But in Su Yi's opinion, the place where the "Six Yin Jue Corpse" appears must be in one of these three places!

As long as you look for the right place, it is not difficult to find spiritual objects such as the Yinsha Spirit Vein, Liuyin Grass, and Jiyang Flower.

"Guo Bing, take us to the peach forest first!"

Suddenly, the girl in uniform spoke. She also heard Guo Bing's words and made a decision.

Guo Bing trembled all over and said, "Girl, that is a dangerous place..."

The girl in military uniform interrupted: "No need to say more, just take us there, and I promise that we won't put you in danger."

Guo Bing sighed and asked Su Yi, "Uncle, what do you think?"

"It doesn't hurt to go there first and have a look."

Su Yi said casually.

He already had some suspicions that the goal of the military-uniformed girl's trip was most likely the same as his own.

However, this kind of chance thing has no owner, and when the time comes that it really needs to be fought for, he will not be polite.

After hearing Su Yi's words, the girl in uniform frowned.

A guard next to him lowered his voice and said, "Miss, don't worry. If this person obstructs our actions, we will kill him."

The girl in military uniform hummed and said nothing more.

While talking, they had passed through the mass graves and were led by Guo Bing along a rugged path toward Guimu Ridge.

After arriving here, the originally clear sky darkened, becoming overcast and gloomy.

Gusts of mountain wind blew, the trees and weeds in the mountains made a rustling sound, and an oppressive atmosphere began to spread in the air.

"This mountain is filled with sinister evil spirits and evil spirits. It is indeed the most dangerous place to breed ghosts."

Su Yi was thoughtful.

He could already see some clues just by looking at the shape of the mountain.

"Everyone, be careful. We have entered the mountains, and there may be some unexpected dangers along the way."

Guo Bing took out an amulet and hung it around his neck, his expression becoming solemn and alert.

"Everyone, take out your weapons and don't be careless. If you encounter any danger, remember to protect the young lady immediately."

The middle-aged uncle Yong in gray robe gave the order in a deep voice.

"Here!"

The guards all took action.

The girl in military uniform also drew her sword out of its sheath.

When she saw that Su Yi was still like no one, holding only a bamboo stick, she couldn't help but be startled, and then snorted coldly, wishing that some ghosts would appear quickly to see Su Yi's frightened coward.

"Mr. Guo, take this bamboo sign in your hand to defend yourself."

Su Yi took out a seven-inch bamboo sign and handed it to Guo Bing.

Guo Bing was startled. Although he was wondering what use this gadget could be used for, he still took it quickly and said, "Thank you, uncle!"

Uncle Yong on one side noticed this scene, and when he saw the bamboo sign, his eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly.

Although he couldn't clearly see the pattern carved on the bamboo sign, he still recognized it at a glance. The bamboo sign was made of green jade bamboo!

"Not only is the bamboo stick in his hand made of jade spiritual bamboo, but he also casually gave a bamboo tablet made of spiritual bamboo to a medicine collector. I'm afraid this boy named Su is not simple."

Uncle Yong frowned unnoticeably.

When they were in the city before, Wen Jueyuan simply introduced Su Yi as a son-in-law of their Wen family, which was of no importance.

But now it seems that it is not simple.

Immediately, Uncle Yong stopped thinking about it.

With his identity and cultivation, he can guarantee that no accidents will happen during this trip.

Along the way, the clouds became heavier and heavier. It was daytime, but it seemed to fall into darkness all of a sudden.

Coupled with the mist that filled the mountains, everyone's vision was affected and they had to slow down.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, biting and cold.

Guo Bing's whole body trembled, and his expression changed, "No, there's a ghost targeting us! Back away, we can't go any further!"

But at this moment, Uncle Yong snorted coldly, reached out and pulled out the sword from behind, and jumped forward.

Uh-huh!

A dazzling red sword light flashed in the mist, followed by a shrill scream.

But just for a moment, the screaming stopped abruptly.

"It's just a low-level ghost without intelligence. Don't panic. Guo Bing, please continue to lead the way."

Uncle Yong, dressed in a gray robe, came back with a calm and calm expression, and a chilling air lingering on his body.

Guo Bingchang breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more at ease. He cupped his hands and said, "With the adults accompanying me, the little old man is not so scared anymore."

"Another Qi Gathering Realm Dzogchen character. This kind of cultivation is almost impossible to see in Guangling City, but now she only plays a guard-like role. From this point of view, the identity of this uniformed girl is probably not as good as That Zhang Yuanxing from the Zhang family in Yunhe County is low."

Su Yi was thoughtful.

The Great Perfection of the Qi Gathering Realm, even within the Great Zhou Dynasty, can be regarded as a top martial artist, second only to the martial arts master of the Yanglu Realm!

Next, everyone continued to move forward.

There were no other surprises along the way.

This was also thanks to Guo Bing leading the way. If he were not familiar with the situation, he would have encountered many dangers.

Although Guimu Ridge is just a mountain, it is extremely large, covering an area of ​​dozens of miles. It is rugged with rocks, lush vegetation, and overgrown with thorns.

Coupled with the clouds and fog, everyone's walking speed also became much slower.

A full hour later.

Only then did they reach the halfway point of the mountain.

"Look, uncle, deep in the white pine forest over there is the ruined temple I mentioned."

When he came here, Guo Bing pointed at the distance and said.

Everyone looked around and saw a lush white pine forest in the distance looming in the mist, but they could not see its depth.

"If it gets late when we return, we can rest for a night in that ruined temple."

As Guo Bing said this, he was about to continue walking forward when suddenly, a faint fire light appeared in the white pine forest in the distance.

"Um?"

Almost at the same time, Su Yi and Uncle Yong, who were at the front of the team, captured this scene.
