I have never been to Yunding Mountain. We have to walk dozens of miles from our village, and the mountain is dangerous and full of cliffs. The mountain is foggy and humid, the visibility is low and it is easy to lose your way. There are many venomous snakes and beasts, and there is also a terrifying thing.

Who can go there after eating enough to go to Menggui Mountain Village? Except for a very small number of people who collect herbs and hunt, ordinary people have generally never been there, and the only ones who have climbed to the top of the mountain are unique.

Master said: "Your great master went to Yunding Mountain and never came back. At that time, he told my father that he was looking for Dragon Vein, but he had already confessed all the things he needed to explain, and he was obviously prepared to go and never return. The so-called Dragon Vein

It does not refer to the veins of the real dragon, it is just the name of the Feng Shui treasure land. Why would he risk his life for a cemetery? So I suspected that there was something hidden. Later, my father went to look for it several times, and I also went to look for it several times.

I have basically searched every place I can reach, but there are no clues at all..."

"What about Menggui Village?"

The master's expression immediately changed: "He won't be inside, so you must not get close. If you can't do it, don't go."

"Okay, I promise not to come close!" I replied firmly, but I only promised not to come close. I would walk in directly. "Master, I promise not to come close. At least you should tell me the story of Menggui Village.

?”

Master probably felt that he had made it clear and would not take risks after dispelling my curiosity, so he nodded: "Let me start from the beginning. There is a large rift valley under the cliff on the north side of Yunding Mountain. It is narrow and slender, and is called

It is the Shechang Valley, and it is not easy to see from the outside. I don’t know when people have lived in the Shechang Valley. These people rarely go down the mountain and never disturb the nearby countryside. Occasionally, some people hunt and gather medicine, but they are only surrounded by people when they get close.

They stopped them and asked them to turn back, but no one knew who they were."

While sorting out his memories, Master said: "In the 1930s and 1940s, the world was in chaos. Warlords, Japanese pirates and bandits were rampant. There was a legend that the people in Shechang Valley in Yunding Mountain were remnants of the previous dynasty and might be guarding the treasures. So some warlords and bandits began to fight.

Their ideas, without exception, turned out to be irreversible. The terrain there was very dangerous, and one man could not break through it. There was no advantage with too many people, and the cannons could not be lifted up. In addition, according to legend, all the people were invulnerable.

He couldn't be killed at all. During the years when bandits and soldiers were at their worst, no one near Yunding Mountain dared to claim the mountain as king."

I was fascinated: "These people are really awesome!"

Master continued: "After liberation, the bandits in various places were either wiped out or recruited into peace, and they all disappeared, but those people continued to live there. I went to Yunding Mountain to look for my grandfather several times with no results, and I thought there might be something in Shechang Valley.

I found clues, so I approached quietly, but they politely asked me to come out before I even went in. Later, I stayed away from them when I went up the mountain."

I hurriedly asked: "How do they treat you? How powerful are they?"

"Their martial arts are so high that they can only be described as unfathomable. They are simply like knights in ancient legends. Moreover, the formations they set up are very powerful. I was trapped by the formations at first. Looking at the skills they displayed, I still can

Can you leave without realizing it?"

After all, this incident was a bit embarrassing, so Master didn’t want to say more. I asked, “What happened to those people afterwards?”

"About fifteen years ago, I heard a herb collector say that there was no smoke in the Shechang Valley, but ghosts were seen in broad daylight. I was afraid of martial arts masters, but not ghosts. I thought the opportunity had come, so I rushed to have a look.

Unexpectedly, I encountered a ghost hitting the wall before entering the Snake Chang Valley... Even I was fascinated, do you think how powerful these ghosts are?"

There are people who have practiced cultivation who are full of yang energy, energetic, and determined. Generally, ghosts avoid them for fear of getting close to them. However, there are exceptions, such as the big camphor tree incident. My master, myself, and dozens of villagers came out of the village inexplicably.

I went out to the west and came back to the east. Later, my master and I were fascinated by the hunchback again, so I didn't think it was a big deal when my master met a ghost and hit the wall.

The master wiped away the cold sweat that did not exist: "I finally broke through the ghost wall, but I was surrounded by dozens of evil ghosts. These evil ghosts gathered Yin Qi into mist, and appeared in the daytime, which can be seen with the naked eye.

This has simply exceeded the limit of ghosts and cannot be called ghosts anymore. Fortunately, I did not attack them recklessly. Some of them may have recognized me and finally made a way to let me go..."

It's a bit unreasonable that ghosts can appear during the day. I asked: "The ghosts are the people in Snake Chang Valley. How can they become so powerful?"

The master shook his head in confusion: "I don't know. According to my guess, there are two possibilities: First, somewhere in the Snake Chang Valley is a natural Yin Gathering Ground or Yin Gathering Formation, or even an even more evil Taiyin Jedi Land. The people inside

After death, the ghost lingers and is nourished by the Yin Qi and becomes a particularly powerful ghost; secondly, there is an expert in the Snake Intestine Valley who has set up some kind of formation or placed some kind of curse, and the ghost of the deceased lingers and evolves and mutates.

No matter what the reason is, it will only become more and more terrifying."

"Then do you know who killed them? How could they all die if they were so skilled in martial arts?"

The master still shook his head: "I don't know. I have been inquiring and collecting information about Shechang Valley, and this is all I know. People spread rumors that bandits used to live in Shechang Valley. In fact, they have never robbed them.

, cannot be called bandits. They were born as heroes and died as ghosts. They are great people no matter what, but now they are a veritable ghost village!"

They looked like a group of fierce ghosts who knew martial arts. I was extremely curious, but I didn't show it on my face, otherwise Master would definitely not let me go.

Master said: "I have searched all the places that ordinary people can reach. I can't see people alive or dead. There are some cliffs that I can't climb, and there are some deep caves that I haven't explored to the end. What you have to do now is to follow you.

We went together with the second master. He is the most experienced in climbing cliffs and descending into caves. He has explored many caves deeper than me."

I have long heard from my second master, Lao Linzi, that there are a large number of natural caves in Yunding Mountain, such as cold caves, hot caves, wind caves, well caves, bat caves, etc. Most of these names were chosen by Lao Lin himself. He is in his twenties.

Fearless and extremely curious, he heard rumors that there were ancient treasures in the deep caves of Yunding Mountain, so he searched for them one by one. However, many of the caves were unfathomable, and in the end he failed to reach the bottom.

I left Master's house feeling a little excited, but also slightly uneasy. Master's illness might be serious, otherwise he would not have entrusted me with such a dangerous and difficult task of finding Master Zeng. I am now twenty-three years old.

There are still seven years before the threshold of thirty years old, and the Yin Yang Jue has not yet been mastered, yet he hurriedly asked me to find Master Zeng. This is a bad sign.

I want to dig out all the secrets that Master refuses to tell me, but not at the expense of Master's health. If I can choose one of the two, I would rather not know anything, as long as Master is healthy and lives a hundred years. No matter what

How about, I will pay more attention to his condition in the future and force him to the hospital if necessary.

Lao Lin's whereabouts have always been elusive, but recently he has been in our village, hanging out with Wu Zhangya. The two of them often go to Xianyan to find Taoist Boishi to study something. Every time I ask them, they are mysterious and refuse to say anything.

When I arrived at Wu Zhangya's house, I bumped into Wu Zhangya's mother-in-law. This woman always had a straight face, as if I owed her eight hundred yuan. I really couldn't understand how Wu Zhangya, who had read poetry and was proficient in medicine, could marry

They met an ugly and fierce yellow-faced woman, but it was this yellow-faced woman who took care of their family affairs. Wu Zhangya often ran out, so it was no wonder that the yellow-faced woman became sullen when she saw someone looking for him.

The yellow-faced woman said that Wu Zhangya and Lao Lin were hiding in the room. I went over and knocked on the door. As soon as the door opened, a puff of smoke rushed out. The two big men looked panicked, as if they had done something wrong.

I had a strange look on my face: "Second Master, Uncle Wu, you are hiding in the house in broad daylight and closing the door so tightly. Is there some adultery involved?"

"I'll rape you and I'll beat you!" Lao Lin jumped over and pretended to hit me.

"Don't talk nonsense. We are mentally normal and keep ourselves clean. There can be no adultery." Wu Zhangya said seriously.

I smiled strangely and said, "The adultery I am talking about refers to something that is kept secret and dare not see the light of day. Uncle Wu, are you so nervous? Could it be that there is no three hundred taels of silver here?"

Now Wu Zhangya also went berserk, picked up a bag of "Friendship" and threw it at me...

Lao Lin cursed and then asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Master asked me to go to Yunding Mountain with you."

Lao Lin and Wu Zhangya were shocked and asked in surprise: "How did you (Master) know that we were going to Yunding Mountain to collect medicine?"

Ganqing just happened to hit me. I immediately used the magic stick method taught by my master and pretended to be profound: "What's weird about this? My master will know it after a fortune telling."

The two of them were really stunned. Lao Lin asked, "Why are you following me?"

I was worried that Lao Lin would not help me find Master Zeng, and I was also worried that he would not go to Menggui Village with me, so I did not tell the truth and only said that I was going to learn herbal medicine knowledge from them.

I set off early the next morning. Because Lao Lin and Wu Zhangya were going with me, my mother didn't worry too much.

Lao Lin and Wu Zhangya both carried a large bamboo basket, medicine hoes, fire guns, daggers, etc. Of course, the trip would take at least two or three days and they would spend the night in the wild, so they also had to bring sleeping bags, dry food, water bottles, etc. In addition,

They also had to climb into the deep stream under the cliff, and ropes, hooks, belts, flashlights, etc. were also indispensable, which together almost filled their two large bamboo baskets.

I brought only a few things with me, so I didn’t have to worry about anything when I followed Lao Lin up the mountain. I had gone hunting with him several times before, so I could just be a follower. I had packed all the props needed for casting spells, including the psychic wood seal.

The peach wood sword, the willow bow and peach arrows, the poisonous sting dagger, and the Kunpeng mirror are all carried in the backpack. The psychic wood seal is carved from the heart of the demonized camphor tree, with the two seal characters "Psychic" on it; the Kunpeng mirror is carved from the heart of the enigmatic camphor tree.

The ancient mirror picked up from Tuozi Cave has unknown origin and purpose. Because there is a pattern of Kun Peng on the back, it is temporarily called the Kunpeng Mirror. I have studied this ancient mirror for a long time, and found no other features except for its strong metallic spiritual power.
