At noon, in a small county under the boundary of Wuwei City, Gansu Province, the high-speed train from the capital slowly stopped.

Zhang Qiuhan and Feng Chenyue picked up their simple luggage and followed the crowd out of the station.

The temperature here is pleasant, neither as hot as in the north nor as humid as in the south.

As soon as he got out of the station, Zhang Qiuhan felt a slightly refreshing air blowing in, and he felt quite comfortable.

Zhang Qiuhan and his wife left the station, took a taxi to the most luxurious hotel in the area, and had a hasty lunch in the hotel.

After eating, the two returned to the room to discuss the next plan of action.

Feng Chenyue sat on the chair and said with a solemn expression:

"Uncle Qiu Han, this operation must be carried out secretly, so none of us at the junction are prepared. As for how to find the person who slaughtered the wild immortal, we can only rely on ourselves."

Zhang Qiuhan nodded.

He knew that Feng Zhenghao attached great importance to this matter.

Feng Zhenghao sent several people from the Tianxiahui to investigate the matter openly. They mainly wanted to show off to the other ten guys.

Zhang Qiuhan and Feng Chenyue were responsible for the secret operation. In order to ensure that this matter was done secretly, Tianxiahui did not even arrange any outposts and backup for the two of them. All operations could only be completed by the two of them alone.

The two discussed it in the hotel, and finally Zhang Qiuhan decided to go to the place where the man had appeared at night to look for clues.

Soon it was night.

The two repaired themselves, then loaded up the equipment they needed in the wild and set off under the cover of night.

After taking a taxi to the foot of the mountain in the suburbs, the two of them put on their hiking clothes and walked towards the barren mountain.

This barren mountain is not very high, about one or two hundred meters.

The mountains are overgrown with weeds, the wild trees are lush, and the mountain roads are rugged and difficult to navigate.

Fengchenyue walked ahead, using a machete to open the way and split the thorns and weeds.

Zhang Qiuhan followed Feng Chenyue, carrying a heavy mountaineering bag behind him.

The two of them did not turn on the searchlights. After all, they were all strangers and their eyesight was much better than ordinary people.

After walking for a while, the buzzing of insects in my ears gradually decreased, the bright moon in the sky also dimmed, and the forest became darker.

Feng Chenyue walked in front, frowning slightly, and whispered to Zhang Qiuhan behind him:

"Uncle Qiuhan, why do I feel that the area around here has suddenly become a lot darker?"

Feng Chenyue raised his head and looked around. Just now he could clearly see things dozens of meters away, but now he couldn't even see clearly five meters away.

Zhang Qiuhan also nodded and said:

"That's right, it's not just darker, but also colder, and the buzzing of insects nearby has disappeared."

Zhang Qiuhan also stopped and looked around. When he stepped over a ditch, he noticed changes in his surroundings, but the changes were minimal.

It wasn't until they walked a few hundred meters further that the changes became more and more serious. Only then did Feng Chenyue notice something strange around her.

Feng Chenyue pursed her lips. He always felt as if there was a stone pressing on his heart, which made him feel depressed involuntarily.

Especially the sharp drop in vision made him feel very uncomfortable.

He wanted to turn on the searchlight, but he was afraid of alerting the enemy.

Helpless, he could only bite the bullet and move forward.

Zhang Qiuhan continued to follow, and the unbreakable darkness around him became heavier and heavier. After walking several hundred meters, he even needed to use his true energy in his eyes to see clearly the scene a hundred meters away.

Feng Chenyue gritted his teeth and walked in front, looking at the darkness in front of him. He was very timid because he was accustomed to living in the city.

I'm afraid that if I don't pay attention, some terrible monsters and monsters will emerge from beside me.

If Zhang Qiuhan hadn't been following him, he wouldn't have dared to take another step forward.

Feng Chenyue's forehead was soaked in cold sweat, and the machete in his hand seemed a little heavier.

He and Wang Man had been to the barren mountains in the suburbs before, but he always felt that the barren mountains here were unusual and made people feel very depressing and terrifying.

The two walked for a while and came to a rugged mountain road. There were far fewer weeds and trees on both sides of the mountain road, and the gravel was faintly paved into a trail. It looked like no one had walked on it for some years.

Feng Chenyue breathed a sigh of relief. Although the gravel road was steep, at least there was no need to use a machete to open the road, which could save a lot of energy.

He was about to lift his legs and walk up the path.

Zhang Qiuhan said at this time:

"There seems to be a stone tablet over there with writing on it."

As he spoke, Zhang Qiuhan walked towards the stone monument next to the path.

Feng Chenyue looked in the direction where Zhang Qiuhan walked, her true energy circulated in her eyes, and she looked carefully for a while before she found the stone tablet.

Zhang Qiuhan and the others came to the stone stele. The stone stele was already covered with moss. It was unknown how many years it had been there. Fortunately, Zhang Qiuhan's sharp eyes were able to discover such an inconspicuous stone stele.

The two of them reached out and stroked the moss off the stone tablet, and saw the words written in bright red characters on the stone tablet:

Double Fork Ridge.

When Feng Chenyue saw the three big characters written like fresh blood, a sense of fear arose in her heart for no reason, as if there was some demon hidden in those characters.

He turned to Zhang Qiuhan and said:

"Uncle Qiu Han, this word seems to have been written with fresh blood. There must be something weird in it."

Zhang Qiuhan rubbed his chin with one hand, looked at the stone tablet, and then said.

"You are right. This word is written using the technique of talisman. It can make people fear and scare away ordinary people who are not strong enough."

Zhang Qiuhan discovered the extraordinary feature of this stone tablet at a glance. The stone tablet itself was nothing, mainly the three big characters.

He knew at a glance that it was not written by an ordinary person, but must have been carved by someone who was proficient in the art of talismans.

It seems to be to prevent ordinary people from entering the mountain by mistake.

But now it seems that this stone tablet is old, and its effect has been weakened a lot. If he and Feng Chenyue were not different people, he really wouldn't be able to detect the effect of this stone tablet.

Feng Chenyue nodded secretly. He knew that Zhang Qiuhan was proficient in Tongtianlu, so it was not surprising that he could see the mystery in this word.

Feng Chenyue muttered a few words about Shuangchaling in a low voice, and then said with some confusion:

"Shuangchaling, why do you think you've heard this name somewhere?"

Zhang Qiuhan chuckled and said:

"Have you read Journey to the West? It was here that Tang Monk was eaten by two of his attendants."

When Zhang Qiuhan saw these three words, he thought of Journey to the West.

Combined with the strange atmosphere around him, he could be sure that this was the Shuangcha Ridge that Tang Monk walked through back then.

At this moment, Zhang Qiuhan suddenly remembered that in the world under one person, the allusion to Journey to the West had been mentioned more than once.

For example, Master Zhang Huaiyi told the young Zhang Chulan that the Zen meanings of the names Wukong, Wukong, and Wuneng contained the true meaning of spiritual practice.

In the twenty-fourth section, the story of Tongtian Valley is even more closely linked with Journey to the West.

In other words, the world background of Under One Person is inseparably related to Journey to the West!

The Shuangcha Ridge that appears now must be the place where Monk Tang encountered his first difficulty!
