Chapter 77: Misty Ridge
After leaving the swamp, Gu Xiuyun and He Ji walked northward for seven days before arriving outside the mountain.
Along the way, they encountered many monsters, including even a big monster that opened the third level of heaven.
With Gu Xiuyun's strength, he was naturally not afraid of the third-level heavenly demonic beast, but he did not dare to fight for fear of being discovered by He Jiu.
The secret method of the Traceless Sect is completely different from that of the Weak Water Sect. Once it is used, it will be exposed.
So the two of them stopped and went, and it took them seven days to get to the mountain gate.
In this regard, Gu Xiuyun's explanation was that he had just opened the Tianguan, his realm was unstable, and he could not fight monsters. He Jiu had no doubts.
"Senior Brother Fu Lan, after passing Wumang Ridge, there is the Mountain Gate Forbidden Gate," He Ji said with a smile on his face, "Let's hurry up and try to return to the sect before the gate is closed, so as not to wait outside for an extra day."
"Everything is subject to Senior Brother He Jiu's advice." Gu Xiuyun said with a smile.
He Jiu's face became brighter and brighter.
Ever since he obtained the Purple Qi Ganoderma, He Jiu's attitude towards 'Fu Lan' has undergone a 360-degree change.
Coupled with the fact that Gu Xiuyun is good at talking, He Jiu's favor has doubled in the past few days. The two have become irreversible friends from the previous tit-for-tat confrontation.
And Gu Xiuyun made several insinuations and gained a better understanding of Yanning Mountain and the Wuhen Sect.
He Jiu was different from Fu Lan. He was well appreciated by Taoist Kang Yan, so he had a deeper understanding of the Wuhen Sect. In addition, he was unprepared and revealed many secrets that Fu Lan had never told.
It's just that the Wuhen Sect's secret skills and techniques are still not revealed even a word.
It can be seen from this that the Wuhen Sect has indeed placed restrictions on the secret techniques.
After walking into the foggy ridge, Gu Xiuyun frowned slightly.
The fog ahead was so vast that it was almost impossible to see the end. Even if he had opened a heavenly barrier and had extraordinary eyesight, he could only see the scene within three feet.
"The Wumang Ridge is indeed worthy of its name. Without the guidance of the disciples of the Wuhen Sect, even a strong man from the sixth level of Kaimai may not be able to pass through this ridge and find the Wuhen Sect." Gu Xiuyun thought to himself.
Wumangling is the first layer of defense of Wuhen Sect. The fog in it can not only block the sight, but also confuse the mind and make people confused about the direction.
If you want to cross the Wumang Ridge, except for the disciples of the Wuhen Sect, only the strong ones in the Douxiao Realm can do it.
"Senior Brother Fu Lan, you are now a strong person in the Pulse Opening Realm. Leave the rough work of finding the fog path to your junior brother!"
He Ji
He muttered something in his mouth, and as several rays of spiritual power were released, a drop of water condensed in the mist, and the crystal clear water droplet fell to the ground, making a ticking sound.
He Jiu hurriedly followed up, followed closely by Gu Xiuyun.
The water droplets seemed to have their own spirituality. After falling on the ground, they bounced up on their own, jumping forward like beads.
"What a man who casts stones to ask for directions. The secret method of the Wuhen Sect is really mysterious." Gu Xiuyun secretly marveled in his heart, "Such a secret method does not exist in the Gu clan at all."
It seems to be just a simple condensed water drop, but don't forget that the water drop is like a spiritual body, and it will not break for a long time. This alone is enough to surprise people.
And even He Jiu can perform such a mysterious method easily, which shows that the threshold is very low, which further proves the power of Wuhen Sect.
Thinking of this, Gu Xiuyun became more cautious.
The two walked for a full hour before they came to a cliff.
The two sides of the cliff were connected by chains, and there was an abyss and ravine thousands of feet long in the middle. Gu Xiuyun looked down and saw that the abyss could not be seen to the bottom, and there was a faint suction coming from it.
"It seems that the only way to pass through this abyss is to walk on the chains." Gu Xiuyun understood clearly in his heart.
The abyss that is thousands of feet wide cannot be crossed by even practitioners of the sixth level of Kaimai. Only those who are strong in the Douxiao Realm can fly across it by relying on the ability to soar into the clouds and ride on the mist.
And there is a very strong suction force in the abyss. If you accidentally fall down, you will definitely die.
"Senior Brother Fu Lan, let's go!"
He Ji waved out a stream of spiritual power to protect his whole body, and then walked straight up the chain. The thick steel cable was two feet wide. With the size of a human cultivator, he could easily stand on it.
The wind roared over the abyss, making the iron ropes tremble.
Gu Xiuyun looked at the thick chain with a solemn expression.
He could see that the spiritual power around He Ji was not a simple secret method of body protection, but was constantly changing in an extremely complex fluctuation. After walking on the iron rope, the spiritual power around him was exactly the same as the trembling of the iron rope. , so that He Jiu can easily walk on it without worrying about falling.
But Gu Xiuyun didn't know this secret technique.
"It doesn't matter, I can only try my best!"
Gu Xiuyun took a deep breath, quietly activated the spirit turtle's black armor sign, deduced the vibration changes of the iron rope, and stepped forward at the same time.
As soon as the soles of his feet stepped on the iron rope, Gu Xiuyun's body suddenly trembled.
In an instant, his whole body's spiritual power surged down, and then he stabilized
Stand firm.
If someone saw this scene, they would definitely doubt his identity, but luckily He Ji was walking in front and did not see it.
Gu Xiuyun walked forward cautiously. Inside the wide sleeves, the black armor of the spirit turtle kept changing, outlining complex patterns. Those patterns were exactly the same as the trembling of the iron rope, but a little faster.
It was this thread that allowed Gu Xiuyun to stand firm.
It was extremely difficult to walk across the thousand-foot abyss. When he left the iron rope and stepped on the cliff on the other side, he broke into a cold sweat.
"The Mist Ridge and the Iron Lock Abyss are just the first barrier. There are no guards here, so it's easy to walk. The mirror light array behind is the real trouble." Gu Xiuyun thought to himself.
As early as in the cave spirit liquid pool, he had already heard about the forbidden pass from Fu Lan.
The Wuhen Sect's forbidden pass is divided into two levels. The first level is the Wumang Ridge. As for the Iron Chain Abyss, it cannot be considered a forbidden pass.
Because as long as the cultivation is sufficient, one can walk through the iron chain safely.
The reason why Gu Xiuyun walked cautiously was that he was worried that He Yu would find out that he could not resist the vibration of the iron chain and expose his identity. Otherwise, he could rely on his spiritual power to force his way through.
The two walked down the cliff mountain path, and after another half an hour, they finally arrived in front of the mirror light array.
At this moment, the light in the array was flashing, the two stone doors were open, and strong heat poured out of the array.
"Fortunately, the mirror light array has not been closed yet. If we wait until dark and the stone door is closed, we can only spend the night outside!" He Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Even if the stone door is closed, with the identity of Senior Brother He, how dare the disciples guarding the array not open the door if he shouts outside?" Gu Xiuyun smiled.
"How can I have such ability," He Yu shook his head, "Unless Master Kang Yan asks, the disciples guarding the formation can make an exception."
Although he said so, his face was full of pride.
Flattery always sounds good.
The two walked into the mirror light formation, and saw He Yu waved several spiritual powers with both hands, merging into the mirrors around them. Soon, the light faded, revealing a passage.
But then, a voice came, "Who are you from? Tell me your name!"
"I am He Yu, a disciple of Taoist Kang Yan of Yanning Mountain. I left the mountain gate a few days ago to do business and returned to the mountain gate today," He Yu said loudly, "The one next to me is Senior Brother Fu Lan. He used to be a disciple of Taoist Kang Ming, but now he has changed to Master Kang Yan as his master."
