The next morning, Alayanzong reheated the remaining medicinal soup from last night. The middle-aged woman had already come, carrying the medicine jar, and followed Alayanzong to each patient's home.

The patient took the medicine.

Alayanzong conducted reexaminations one by one, and all the patients improved. Especially the strong man, his breathing became much softer, and he was no longer so impetuous.

Not long after Alayanzong returned to the old man's home in gray, the demon spirit Qingfeng came down the mountain, accompanied by two followers.

Three people and five horses.

As soon as they met, the demon spirit Qingfeng clasped his fists and said, "Qingfeng has come specially to invite the young hero, and also asks the young hero to move up the mountain."

Ala Yanzong cupped his fists and returned the greeting, "It would be troublesome to bother the second village master to come to greet you."

Seeing that the demon spirit Qingfeng's left hand was still wrapped in white cloth, he added: "I'm really ashamed that the second village leader was injured. It's all my fault for not knowing the severity of my attack. How is the second village leader's injury now?"

The demon spirit Qingfeng smiled and said: "It's okay to have a minor injury. It's just a little bruised and swollen. It doesn't hurt the muscles and bones. It will heal in a few days. You don't need to worry about it, young hero."

"I'm a doctor, so I'd better give the Second Village Master a look and get some medicine."

Having said that, Alayanzong wanted to show the demon spirit Qingfeng his hand injury.

The demon spirit Qingfeng hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I've already applied the medicine, it's okay, it's okay." While speaking, he raised his left hand and turned his wrist to show that his left hand was flexible and fine.

Ala Yanzong and Wula Zhitao packed their luggage, said goodbye to the old man in gray, and followed the demon Qingfeng on horseback up the mountain.

The mountain road up the mountain has a slight slope. The three people riding horses in front were followed by two followers.

The horses' hooves clattered lightly on the stone surface. The five horses were neither in a hurry nor slow, meandering along the rugged mountain road.

On the west side, the mountain wall is steep, reaching straight into the sky like a knife or an axe. It is unreachable and very majestic. Even if Ala Yanzong is good at climbing cliffs, he can only admire this mountain peak and have no way to start.

The east side is full of green vegetation. When you first go up the mountain, there are only some short shrubs. Going further into the mountain, you will find a forest with tall and tall trees, mostly pines and cypresses.

From time to time, a flock of birds would fly out from the forest, chirp and soar in the air, circle around for a while, and then fall into the forest area again.

Although the path up the mountain is not wide, it is flat, with only scattered gravels scattered along it.

The group of people soon came to a small stream. The water was so shallow that there were no horses' hooves. The trickle of water meandered from west to east.

The horse stepped on the clear spring and crossed the stream. The three of them dismounted.

The two attendants took the horses and led him to run away.

Ala Yanzong and Wula Zhitao still didn't understand what was going on. They couldn't see the village gate or anyone in front of them. Why did they dismount?

Seeing that the two of them were puzzled, the demon spirit Qingfeng pointed to the mountain peak in front and said:

"Mofengling has strange and steep peaks. You two are here as guests. Wouldn't it be a pity if you didn't take a look at it? Please take a look at the thin sliver of sky in our village that can't be blocked by anyone."

Having said that, he took the lead, followed closely by Alayanzong and Wulanzhitao.

Keep heading north, bypassing a huge boulder, and the scenery in front of you changes dramatically.

I saw two cliff peaks facing each other in front, the cliff walls are close together, and only one person can pass through. This is the real line of sky!

Compared with the skyline in the canyon that Alayanzong passed when he went to the fishing village, it was much narrower.

The demon spirit Qingfeng led the way, followed closely by Ala Yanzong and Wula Zhitao. The three of them walked through the bottom of the cliff, sometimes walking sideways to barely pass.

The crevice in the cliff is probably dozens of feet long. Walking inside, it feels like the two mountain walls are about to close together, which is very depressing.

After walking out of the sky, the demon spirit Qingfeng turned around and said with a smile:

"This is the shortest way into the mountain stronghold. When we get to the stronghold, the horses can't reach it. The two followers have to ride around the mountain."

Ala Yanzong sighed: "This is the pass of the stronghold."

Wula Zhitao looked back at the sky and exclaimed: "Curiosity is so dangerous!"

The demon spirit Qingfeng explained: "If there is a war and someone wants to attack the mountain stronghold, the pass will be blocked here with rocks, and one person can guard it here."

Ala Yanzong laughed and said: "If you put firewood at the pass and it starts to burn, even gods will not be able to get through!"

The demon spirit Qingfeng laughed loudly, "Young hero has more tricks up his sleeve!"

Alayanzong suddenly asked again: "The route taken by those horses is much flatter than here. How can we guard it?"

The demon spirit Qingfeng smiled mysteriously and said: "Although the place where the horses walk is flat, you have to go through a cave to enter the mountain. There are mechanisms in the cave and there are people guarding it all year round. If someone comes to invade the stronghold, they will not be able to get through there."

"Oh!" Ala Yanzong was even more surprised, "It seems that the terrain of the mountain village is unique and steep, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. This is also God's miraculous workmanship!"

"Hahaha!" Demon Spirit Qingfeng laughed heartily again and said: "The terrain is steep, which is naturally a natural condition. It's just that those mechanisms were designed and added after the leader of the stronghold came to the stronghold."

After hearing this, Alayanzong felt that the leader of Dazhai was a mysterious figure with certain talents and strategies.

"Hearing what the second village leader said, I am even more eager to meet the big village master."

The demon spirit Qingfeng said: "Young hero, don't be anxious, we will see you soon. The leader of the village has already prepared a banquet and is waiting for you."

"Hahaha! The leader of the village is really condescending."

"The leader of Dazhai cherishes talents, not to mention that the young knight is a chivalrous person, so he will not neglect them. The two thieves who stole the horses are really different from the young knight!"

"The second village master was so complimentary. Speaking of the two thieves, the second village master said that they came to steal horses in the village. The pass is so steep, how could they steal the horses?"

The demon spirit Qingfeng laughed heartily, "It's all a joke. Usually no one is guarding this place, so the two of them were able to enter the mountain. Even if they are good at it, it is actually difficult for them to enter the stronghold."

Alayanzong was even more surprised when he heard this, "Oh? How could they steal the horses if they couldn't enter the stronghold?"

"It happened to be a coincidence. Several gatekeepers were letting their horses outside the stronghold. Normally, no outsiders came here, so they went back to the stronghold to rest and let the horses graze in the mountains, which gave the two thieves an opportunity to take advantage of them.

"

Ala Yanzong suddenly realized, "It turned out that the flatterers were stolen outside the stronghold. But can they get out?"

"Of course I can't get out. The young hero has also seen that this one-line horse cannot get through. But the two thieves didn't know any other way out of the mountain, so they led the horse here. When they saw the guards chasing after them, they had to abandon the horse and run away."

Ala Yanzong and Wula Zhitao couldn't help laughing.

The demon spirit Qingfeng continued: "First, the guards chased them out of the sky. The two thieves did not dare to take the open road, so they went into the forest. When the leader of the third village and I chased them out, we learned the direction of their escape, so we rode on the mountain road.

I'll wait in the bamboo forest, that's the only way to go."

"Hahaha!" Alayanzong laughed again, "The second village master and the third village master are very familiar with the terrain of this place. Wherever they run, you will intercept them. Naturally, they will not be able to avoid you."

After saying that, the three of them laughed together.

While talking, he came to the village.

The walls of the village are made of stones, imitating the walls of the castle. They are about ten meters high. The gate of the village is wide enough for four carriages to run parallel to each other.

The village gate is made of logs and is unusually thick and strong. However, the gate opens and closes silently.

The demon spirit Qingfeng whistled, the village gate opened, and the three of them stepped towards the village.
