Chapter 266 Deep Mountains

Mo Hua felt a little horrified and silently memorized the sixteen words.

It seems that this map is very important. If it is not understood, it will definitely be a huge hidden danger.

The cultivators rely on the mountains to make a living and adapt to local conditions.

There are no fertile spiritual fields, no surging rivers and seas, and no spiritual beasts to be raised near Tongxian City.

All the casual cultivators nearby have to make a living in Dahei Mountain.

The weapon refining and alchemy shops in the south of the city, and even the Fushan Building, all rely on demon hunters to hunt monsters, peel off bones and flesh materials, and provide materials for refining, alchemy and cooking.

Mo Hua also needs to absorb a lot of demon blood and mix spiritual ink to learn the formation.

The cultivators of the entire Tongxian City, whether in cultivation, production or life, are closely related to Dahei Mountain.

If Dahei Mountain has hidden dangers, then it will be a big trouble.

After that, Mo Hua went to the Great Black Mountain when he was free while learning the Reverse Spirit Formation. When he encountered a remote or unfamiliar place, he would open the map of Zui Xiu to check and see if he could find the location marked on the map.

But after searching for several days, he still found nothing.

Mo Hua felt depressed and looked up. Suddenly, he saw a thick fog in the distance, covering the mountains and blocking the sunlight. It was hazy and he didn't know where the mountain was and where the cliff was.

That was the deep mountain of the Great Black Mountain, and it was also the most dangerous place in the Great Black Mountain.

It is rumored that the deep mountain is dangerous and unpredictable, and the monks will never return.

As Mo Hua looked at it, he was suddenly startled and took a breath of cold air:

"The fog in the Black Mountain can cover the abyss..."

The location marked on the map can't be the deep mountain of the Great Black Mountain!

Mo Hua's eyelids twitched, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.

He knew the outer mountain very well, but the inner mountain was too big. He didn't say he knew it very well, but he was also very familiar with it.

If the location recorded in the map is really in the inner or outer mountains, then he must have an impression of it.

If it is not in the outer or inner mountains, then it must be in the deep mountains.

The sinner who disappeared, the deep mountains that never returned.

Mo Hua had a guess in his mind, and a chill surged in his heart.

He quickly used his body skills and ran all the way back to Tongxian City. He found Elder Yu breathlessly and asked hurriedly:

"Elder Yu, has anyone been to the deep mountains?"

Elder Yu was shocked when he heard this, "Why do you ask this? The deep mountains are dangerous, you can't go there."

He thought Mo Hua was curious and wanted to go to the deep mountains to play.

"I won't go. I'll ask." Mo Hua took a breath, "Is it true that once a demon hunter enters the deep mountains, he never comes back?"

Seeing Mo Hua's solemn expression and serious tone, Elder Yu knew that it was probably not a trivial matter, so he nodded and said:

"It is true."

"When did it start?"

Elder Yu frowned and thought, and after a moment, he said: "About two hundred, or maybe more than three hundred years ago..."

"Don't you know?"

"I have only lived for more than two hundred years. How can I know about things before that? I can only hear about it."

Elder Yu touched his beard, recalled, and then said:

"It seems that more than three hundred years ago, although the deep mountains were dangerous, you could still enter."

"Can you enter?" Mo Hua was a little surprised.

Elder Yu nodded, "You can go in, but the fog is heavy, the miasma is poisonous, the monsters are strong, and there are more second-grade monsters."

Elder Yu thought for a while and said, "Although it was called the Deep Mountains at that time, it was actually still considered the Inner Mountains, but it was the most dangerous place in the Inner Mountains. But later, there were too many monster hunters who went into the Deep Mountains and never returned, and gradually no one dared to go there, and the Deep Mountains of Dahei Mountain became a taboo."

"Don't cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Period dare to go in?"

Elder Yu's eyelids jumped, "Even those in the Foundation Establishment Period dare not, because there have been Foundation Establishment cultivators who died there."

Mo Hua opened his eyes wide, "Can Foundation Establishment cultivators die there?"

Elder Yu nodded.

"Not missing? But died there?" Mo Hua asked in confusion.

Logically speaking, missing does not necessarily mean death, so how can you be sure that you died in the Deep Mountains?

"Because the body was found on the edge of the deep mountains."

The more Mo Hua listened, the more strange it felt, "Who died?"

Elder Yu had a complicated look on his face, "The former chief elder of the Qian family."

"Qian family?" Mo Hua was a little bit unbelievable.

Elder Yu nodded slightly and said to Mo Hua:

"Back then, I was still a small Qi Refiner. I heard that the great elder of the Qian family went into the mountains and had no news. After half a month, the ancestor of the Qian family took people to the mountains to look for him. He wanted to see him alive or dead."

"How could the great elder of a family, who was in a high position and had great power, die in an unclear way? At that time, the Qian family was already very powerful, with a large number of people, so they dared to go into the mountains, but even so, they did not dare to be careless."

"Almost all members of the Qian family, from foundation building to Qi Refining, went out. The cultivators were close to each other, forming a human network, advancing from the outside to the inside of the mountains, and finally found the dead great elder of the Qian family under a tree on the outer edge."

"It is said that the death was very strange, with one arm missing, as if it was bitten off by a monster, but this is a rumor after all, and the Qian family has not disclosed the cause of death to the outside world so far."

"What happened next?" Mo Hua asked.

"The matter was left unresolved after that. The Qian family dared not go deeper. The great elder in the foundation-building stage died and his body was found, so there was an explanation. If they went deeper into the mountains and encountered any serious danger, the Qian family would probably be wiped out."

Elder Yu was somewhat gloating, but also somewhat regretful.

He was probably gloating because the great elder of the Qian family died, but also somewhat regretful because the Qian family did not die in the mountains.

Mo Hua asked, "Since then, no cultivator dared to enter the deep mountains?"

Elder Yu corrected, "Some dared, but no one could come out."

"There are many people in this world who are daring or ignorant of the immensity of the world. Some are brave and skilled, while others are foolish and fearless. But no matter what, they have never come out after entering the deep mountains."

Mo Hua looked complicated and said slowly, "Did they go in voluntarily?"

Elder Yu smiled and wanted to say something, but suddenly he was startled, and the smile on his face gradually faded. He said solemnly:

"Do you... know something?"

Mo Hua took out the map and handed it to Elder Yu, and told him about the bald monk and the group of sinners, including the sixteen words.

"The fog in the black mountain can cover the abyss; at midnight, throw a stone to ask for directions."

Elder Yu kept muttering, and the more he read, the more frightened he became.

His mind raced, his voice trembling as he said:

"You mean, the deep mountains of the Great Black Mountain are likely to be a huge den of thieves, and there have been extremely vicious criminals lurking in them for the past two or three hundred years?"

Mo Hua nodded slowly.

Elder Yu couldn't help but stand up, frowning, and paced back and forth in the hall.

After walking back and forth for a few rounds, Elder Yu sorted out his thoughts, then sat down, drank a cup of tea, calmed down, and said in a deep voice:

"It is indeed possible..."

"In the past two hundred years, not to mention the cultivators from other places, even the demon hunters have disappeared in the deep mountains."

"The elders of the demon hunting line, including me, have repeatedly warned and warned not to enter the deep mountains, otherwise it would be dangerous."

"But there are demon hunters who don't listen to the advice, enter the deep mountains, and have no news."

"I just hated their stupidity and ignorance of life and death before, but now I think about it, I realize that this place The situation is very strange. "

"Who among those who can be demon hunters and live in the inner mountains doesn't know the dangers of the Great Black Mountain? How many of them don't value their lives? How could they go into the deep mountains on impulse?"

"Even if they don't value their lives, their wives and children depend on him to hunt demons and earn spirit stones for a living. How dare they easily take risks with their families?"

"Once they die, they will leave orphans and widows to live in misery. How could they not know?"

"Now it seems that they didn't go into the deep mountains voluntarily, but were captured or killed, and then taken into the deep mountains!"
