Chapter 1000 Mountain Road Restriction

"One foot of wood? Half a stone?"

After several people from the Murong family saw clearly what was in the grass, there was a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Among them, Murong Tuo turned around, looked at Ji Lai not far away, and asked, "Have you heard of these things?"

"No."

Ji Lai shook his head, with a puzzled look on his face.

"Hmph, don't you always boast that you are well-informed? Now it seems that it is nothing more than that." Murong Tuo took advantage of the opportunity and tried to humiliate him.

Ji Lai smiled slightly, as if he didn't take his words seriously at all. He was just staring at the stubborn stone on the roadside, not knowing what he was thinking.

"I don't think there's anything surprising. Maybe the other three major families were one step ahead of us and deliberately left these things to show off along the way, just to delay our time!" A monk from the Murong family sneered.

Liang Yan pondered for a while and then slowly spoke: "Be careful in everything. Why not let the golden corpses of several fellow Taoists climb up on our behalf. If there is no danger, it will not be too late for us to leave."

As soon as he said this, Murong Tuo immediately started sarcastically:

"Haha, I didn't think you had any ability. Just a piece of stone or a piece of rotten wood scared you out of your wits! As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, people are divided into groups, and the friends of the master are indeed just this kind of thing. !”

These words were extremely unpleasant, and even Liang Yan couldn't bear it anymore. At this time, he said coldly: "I don't care what personal grudges you have, but this place is weird and unpredictable. I hope fellow Taoist people don't act out of emotion."

"snort!"

Murong Tuo snorted coldly, then ignored Liang Yan, turned around and stepped onto the next stone step without hesitation.

After taking this step, everyone held their breath and stared at the surroundings. Even Murong Tuo himself narrowed his eyes slightly and looked prepared.

However, everyone waited for a long time, but there was still no abnormality around them. The entire mountain road was silent and there was no sound.

"Hahaha!"

Murong Tuo laughed three times, then turned around and looked at Liang Yan and Ji Lai with extremely proud expressions on his faces.

"You see, even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers, what do I, Murong Tuo, have to fear? You two timid rats want to fight for opportunities, but you are afraid of wolves in front and tigers in back. If you go on like this, you will still be fighting against the three major families. What are you arguing about, why not go home as soon as possible!"

He said this with great pride, as if he was proud of himself.

Liang Yan looked at his expression and made a guess in his mind. This man and Ji Lai were love rivals, and neither of them believed in the other. But this time, Patriarch Murong ordered them to do their best to help and seize the opportunity. This trip was a foil.

No one feels comfortable with this kind of thing. Although this person did not dare to disobey his ancestor's order, he took all his grievances out on Ji Lai and tried to humiliate him when he got the chance.

Liang Yan didn't want to pay attention to this kind of thing, but Murong Tuo acted too recklessly. If he continued to indulge in it, he might be in harm's way.

He pondered for a moment, and was about to say something to this person, but when he glanced out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that the silent dead wood on the roadside suddenly moved.

"Um?"

Liang Yan raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but turn his head to look, but the dead wood was quiet at this time, as if the moment just now was his illusion.

"what happened?"

Liang Yan was confused and glanced at the people around him, but no one seemed to notice anything strange just now.

"Did I really see it wrong?"

Just when he was secretly wondering, the dead wood moved again. Liang Yan could clearly see this time that there was a pair of small eyes on the dead wood, and he was looking at Murong Tuo coldly.

"careful!"

Liang Yan only had time to shout when a strong wind suddenly blew up from all around. Amidst countless flying sand and rocks, a ball of green light shot out from the dead wood.

This light group rotated slightly in the air, and the next moment it shot out thousands of green threads, as if a heavy green rain fell in the air, covering everyone in it.

Liang Yan had already noticed something was wrong, and was the first to react at this time. Although he couldn't fly, his movements were extremely fast. His feet were only a little bit on the ground, and his whole body flew towards the back.

brush! brush! brush!

Countless blue hairs fell down, and most of them landed on Murong Tuo's head.

This person was showing off himself one moment, but he didn't want to encounter a big change the next moment, so he hurriedly made magic tricks to release the golden corpse in the coffin behind him.

However, the speed of those black hairs was too fast, and he was the closest to the dead tree. He was the first to bear the brunt at this moment, and he had no time to react. The black hairs had already fallen on him.

Thousands of green threads passed through his body, but Murong Tuo didn't make a sound, and no blood flowed out. He just kept looking up at the sky, and even had a weird smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.

However, the aura in his body dissipated instantly, and no one could sense any trace of this man's vitality anymore.

A master of the Golden Core level fell in the blink of an eye, and everyone present couldn't help but take a breath.

Ji Lai and the other three monks from the Murong family, after being reminded by Liang Yan, were now far away from the dead wood, but there were still scattered black hairs falling above their heads.

Although he could not feel the power in these black hairs, Murong Tuo's tragic situation was still in front of him. Those present dared to be careless and sacrificed their own magical powers.

Liang Yan slapped the Taixu Gourd on his waist with one hand, and the Purple Thunder Tianyin Sword roared out and lay in mid-air above his head. As for the three monks of the Murong family, with a sudden thought, three golden corpses of different shapes flew out from their respective coffins and stood in front of their master.

As for the plan, it was a single-hand pinch, and a painting fan flew out of his sleeve. This painting fan slowly unfolded in mid-air, and in an instant, a large blue light was released, firmly protecting it in the center.

Those sporadic black hairs fell down and landed on several golden corpses of the Murong family. They immediately made a "sizzling" sound. The originally indestructible golden corpses were actually pierced!

Liang Yan saw this scene in his eyes, how could he dare to use the Purple Thunder Tianyin Sword to block it, and hurriedly used all his spiritual power to activate the Purple Thunder Sword Qi to resist the green hair falling in mid-air.

He was the first person to notice the strange changes in the dead wood, and he was also the first person to retreat when he saw that the situation was not good. At this time, he was behind everyone, and he had the least amount of green hair to deal with, so he was not in much danger.

However, just as everyone was using their magical powers to fight against the inexplicable green energy in mid-air, the "half-way stone" on the left side of the road moved slightly, and a moment later a turbid energy emerged.

This turbid air spread down the mountain road, and it only took a moment to reach everyone's feet. An indescribable force spread out from the turbid air, and everyone felt that their feet were as heavy as lead.

In a daze, Liang Yan actually had a hallucination, as if his feet had turned into an abyss, and an inexplicable aura of chaos pulled at him, trying to drag him into the abyss.

"not good!"

Liang Yan was shocked. He dared not hold back at all at this moment. He hurriedly slapped the Taixu Gourd on his waist and wanted to use the Black Lotus Sword and Dingguang Sword to kill a way out with the three swords in one.

However, as soon as he raised his arm, he found that the spiritual power in his body was actually locked by this turbid air, and he could not move at all at this moment!

At the same time, after killing Murong Tuo, the cyan light group in mid-air seemed to have changed its target to Liang Yan and others. At this time, it was expanding and contracting in mid-air, obviously preparing for the next round of attack.

There was a turbid air under his feet, and there was a strange and inexplicable murderous cloud above his head. The situation was unprecedentedly critical. Liang Yan's face was as gloomy as water, and he was thinking of ways to escape.

At this moment, an old voice suddenly sounded in his heart:

"I'm here to help you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a circle of cyan light appeared in the Taixu gourd, and countless densely packed ancient characters flew out from the mouth of the gourd, beating gently in the air.

Although Liang Yan didn't recognize a word of these secret texts, he felt extremely light and agile when he was in them.

When he lowered his head and looked again, he found that wisps of turbid air were coming out of his pores, and then were forced into the ground by these secret messages until they completely disappeared.

As the turbid air was forced out, the spiritual power in Liang Yan's body was able to circulate again. He was overjoyed and was about to say thank you when a shadow of an ancient tree appeared behind his head.

The shadow of this ancient tree was filled with green light, and the next moment it enveloped Liang Yan's entire body. Then it turned slightly in mid-air and disappeared completely.

Not knowing how long it took, Liang Yan woke up leisurely in a dense forest.

He shook his head, regaining consciousness for a moment, and then recalled the previous encounter.

Because Murong Tuo triggered the restriction on the mountain road, everyone suffered a catastrophe and was trapped and killed by the two Qing Qi. In the end, the old tree spirit in the Taixu Gourd appeared and saved them.

Thinking of this, he patted the Taixu gourd on his waist and said in a deep voice: "Senior, thank you for saving me!"

"Haha, you don't need to thank me, we have a mutually beneficial relationship."

An old voice came out, and then a stream of green smoke floated from the gourd mouth, gradually condensing into a white-haired old man in the air.

After the old tree spirit appeared, he first looked Liang Yan up and down, and then said in surprise:

"Boy, your chance has come!"

Liang Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then thought of something. He couldn't help but feel something in his heart, and blurted out, "But Xuan?"

"Shh!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw the old tree spirit quickly silence himself, and then lowered his voice and said: "Boy, this is a secret. Only you know it and I know it, and no third person can know it!"

Liang Yan came to his senses, couldn't help but nodded, and secretly sent a message to ask: "But Xuanwuhua?"

"good!"

The voice of the old tree spirit sounded in his heart: "Through my nearly three years of hard work, this Mysterious Mist Flower has been cultivated and matured. After you enter the secret realm, the Mysterious Mist Flower will have a reaction. This reaction will increase after you approach this place." Especially strong. Just as I expected. The wisp of 'Hunyuan Immortal Qi' you want is in this mountain!"

"It's true!"

After getting the confirmed reply from the old tree spirit, Liang Yan was also happy, but he immediately thought of something and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

"How could it be such a coincidence that the four major families came to this fairy mountain to compete for opportunities, and the wisp of 'Hunyuan Immortal Qi' I want is also here. Could it be that this 'Hunyuan Immortal Qi' is the opportunity they are fighting for?"

Thinking of this, Liang Yan couldn't help but frown slightly and told the fairy tree spirit his thoughts.

After hearing this, the old tree spirit was silent for a moment, and then said through a message: "I can't say for sure about this matter. Although the human monks are good at deduction, they are not able to count everything to death. The four major The ancestors of the family have already reached the level of the Transformation Tribulation Realm. If the 'Hunyuan Immortal Qi' is really born, it is impossible to send a group of juniors in the Golden Core Realm to fight for it."

"You mean there is another opportunity here. The 'Hunyuan Immortal Qi' we want may not be what they are fighting for?" Liang Yan touched his chin and said.

"This is just an old man's speculation. No matter what, now that you have arrived here, will you be willing to give up?" The old tree spirit asked with narrowed eyes.

Liang Yan glanced at him and suddenly smiled:

"You have figured out my temper. Hehe, although there are many monks from the four major families, they are not all in the same camp, and they are also fighting with each other. If I manage it well, I may not have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters!"

The old tree spirit chuckled and stretched out his hand to stroke his beard.

"If you didn't have this kind of personality, I wouldn't live in your Taixu Gourd. After all, I still hope that you will succeed in cultivation and help me find that person in the future."

When he said this, he suddenly fell silent again, his eyes flashed slightly, as if he was recalling what happened in the past.

Liang Yan had made an agreement with him that unless the person took the initiative to ask, he could not inquire about his past. Therefore, although he was a little curious at this time, he did not ask.

"Speaking of which, I don't know what happened to that kid."

Liang Yan suddenly remembered Ji. This person had cooperated with him many times. Although it was a mutually beneficial relationship, it could be considered a friendship.

The clear and turbid energy emitted by the "one-foot-long wood" and the "half-way stone" just now was really strange and unpredictable. If it weren't for the help of the old man in the forest, I might not be able to escape, but I don't know what happened to Ji Lai at this time.

"You don't have to worry about him." The old tree spirit shook his head and said, "This kid's origins are by no means simple. The restrictions on the mountain road may not be able to trap him."

The words of the old man in the woods reminded Liang Yan that at the last moment he left the mountain road, he seemed to catch a glimpse of the colorful glow surrounding Ji Lai. It should be that some magic weapon was about to appear from his body.

"It seems that although this person has a loose personality, he is not lacking in magical powers."

Liang Yan pondered for a moment, then put aside the planned matters for the time being, and turned to look up at the top of the mountain.

"After leaving the mountain trail, the pressure around me became even greater. If this continues, by the time I reach the top of the mountain, I'm afraid that the opportunity will have been taken away by others."
