The north-south Daruo Mountains are a natural barrier that separates the hinterland of the Central Plains from Wanmo Ridge. Most of the mountains are covered with snow all the year round, and there are few people.

The place where Guiyuan Temple is located has geothermal springs nearby, so it is not covered by snow, but it is still very cold for people in the Central Plains, especially the Jianjiang area and the southeast coast.

Fortunately, people who practice Taoism can use their spiritual power to keep warm, even if they don't wear thick clothes, it's not very sad.

Ancestor Qiao had been to Daruo Mountain when Lieyang Immortal Isle was alive, so he knew a little about it, and soon took everyone to fly to Guiyuan Temple with Yujian.

Only then did they learn that the Golden Winged Eagle of Yulingzong had just landed in front of the mountain gate.

Thus, Xiao Ran and the others met the members of the Yuling Sect who had waited deliberately, and were taken to Zhike's office together by the monks in the temple.

When Xiao Ran and Qiao Heng were in Shoushan, they didn't see Li Haoqi, the young patriarch of Yulingzong—this time they came to Guiyuan Temple, it was the first time they saw each other after parting in the Far West.

Originally thought that after all the previous events, Yulingzong should temporarily maintain an attitude of watching from a distance like other sects, but Li Haoqi didn't seem to intend to do so.

He took the initiative to come up to greet Li Ran and the others, like a friend he hadn't seen for a long time.

"When I set off from Huxi, I was thinking that maybe I could meet Patriarch Qiao and Daoist Xiao this time, but I didn't expect that my wish would really come true."

While talking with a smile, he slightly turned his head to look at the same tall man standing beside Qiao Heng, so he continued to cup his hands and said: "This senior must be the ancestor of Hong Hai of the Sanxiu League. This junior has seen the ancestor and admired his name for a long time !"

Chen Binhai only knew that this young man was the nephew of the ancestor Ge Fei and the young master of Yulingzong. Seeing that Xiao Ran and Qiao Heng treated Li Haoqi kindly and the other party was very polite, he nodded in response.

"I heard from Zen Master Guangzhen that more than half of the Taoists in the Central Plains have come, and Zhike Liao can hardly accommodate them." Along the way, Li Haoqi spoke freely, and told Xiao Ran and the others the news he had inquired about when he arrived a few steps ahead.

Li Haoqi's black panther was also by his side, majestic as always, only occasionally inadvertently glanced at Xiao Ran's side, then turned back as if nothing had happened, and continued walking forward.

Seeing Patriarch Qiao and Patriarch Hong Hai at once, the two Sword Transformation Sword Cultivators, Li Haoqi remembered the purpose of their trip, and couldn't help asking: "I wonder if we will directly enter the Wanmo Ridge this time?"

Although Taoist Chongming and Taoist Pengyang from the Far West had not yet arrived, and Li Haoqi's uncle, Patriarch Gefei, was in retreat, he could not come immediately, but he heard that Patriarch Hehuai from the Immortal Cauldron Sect and Patriarch Chu from the Qixuan Sect Fairies Chan will all come, which means that four of the seven ancestors in the current world have come!

The more Li Haoqi thought about it, the more he felt that Daoxiu was powerful, and he couldn't help but feel a little bit of pride and ambition.

Hearing Li Haoqi's question, the Buddhist monk who took them to Zhikeliao really couldn't give an accurate answer, so he could only shake his head apologetically.

No Buddhist cultivator got the answer, but here Xiao Ran had an answer in his heart - guessing that at the beginning, everyone would definitely not go directly to Wanmo Ridge.

According to Guiyuan Temple, Wanmo Ridge's demonic energy is soaring now, and some demon cultivators with low cultivation bases are already ready to move.

Not to mention whether the Demon Dao Tianzun has been born or not, the magic energy in the Wanmo Ridge alone is enough for the Taoist cultivators to suffer.

If you stay for an hour or two, you can still persist with your cultivation base and magic weapon...

If there is a longer delay, I am afraid that only Patriarch Qiao who has the body protection of golden water energy, or the great power of Patriarch Hon Hai who has the body protection of red flames, can come out with all the tails.

The Zen master of Guiyuan Temple would not let Daoxiu travel thousands of miles to take risks, and Daoxiu himself would certainly not be happy.

What's more, it's not like a hundred years ago now, when the Demon Dao Tianzun did the evil first, the Taoist cultivators joined with the Buddhist cultivators to counterattack, and jointly killed those demon cultivators who followed Yi Ming to harm Taoist cultivators and mortals.

Now the situation of Wanmo Ridge is unknown, if it enters rashly, it may directly lead to those real demons and demon infants who were originally dormant.

After all, Yi Ming is dead, and the Heavenly Venerable who can gather the demon cultivators who are doing their own thing seems to have not yet shown up. Those demon cultivators who were seriously injured in the magic war and retreated to Wanmo Ridge may also not want to confront the Taoist cultivators head-on.

Xiao Ran felt that their trip to the extreme north might have two effects.

The first role, of course, is to kill demons.

To be able to reduce the power of demon cultivators must be the biggest purpose of Buddhist cultivators in inviting many Taoist cultivators—with the strength of Guiyuan Temple alone, it is no longer possible to completely guard the barrier of Daruo Mountain, so more people must participate in it.

But the demonic cultivator cannot be eliminated, let alone wanting to eradicate the demonic cultivator.

In fact, just removing part of the demon cultivators would have to pay a huge price, otherwise Taoist and Buddhist cultivators would have done it a hundred years ago, and there is no need to wait until today.

Therefore, the purpose of killing the demons this time is not to fight to the death, but most of them will do what they can.

Their second role is actually deterrence.

To put it simply, let the moxiu who are waiting for an opportunity in Wanmo Ridge see that Daoxiu has not slacked off because a hundred years have passed-maybe he has slack before, but this time he has to be more serious.

Once there is a lot of movement in Wanmo Ridge, the Taoist cultivators will immediately unite and take action, and will not give the demon cultivators any chance to come out and make trouble.

This is also the reason why so many great masters of sects have rushed to the extreme north. Just reciting their names may make the timid people tremble.

Part of the reason why Zhou Xi didn't come to the extreme north with them was that his current "identity" and "realm" didn't play much role on the surface. Perhaps the help of Zhou Xi, the "hidden power" is more needed.

From the appearance point of view, Patriarch Qiao and Xiao Ran may be more able to "represent" Qingyumen in the battle, not to mention Patriarch Hon Hai, an ally who is also a sword cultivator of Huashen, accompanied him.

"When you arrive in the extreme north, listen to the Zen master's arrangement and do what you can, especially don't run around as you like. That's not Mo Xun Mountain, there are vicious demon cultivators everywhere, and it's impossible to guard against!"

Thinking of his master's rare "nagging" before he left, Xiao Ran smiled in his heart: he has his own master who wants to go back to be filial, and his ancestor Qiao needs to watch so that no one can tease him (fog), and he also needs to raise the little fur balls. In vain and fat, of course he has to save his own life and do what he can.

Even if he wanted to take revenge on Taoist Pengyang, he would definitely do it when he was sure of everything. Those ideas of "destroying jade and stone together" were definitely not in the scope of current Xiao Ran's consideration.

……

Since the people from Xiandingmen, Qixuanmen and some sects have not yet arrived, the action of Daoxiu has not been carried out immediately.

Xiao Ran saw Zen Master Guangqian whom he had just met not long ago, and three young novice monks who were protected by eminent monks.

Probably after returning to Guiyuan Temple, Zong Yang and the others were obviously much happier and more lively than before. They saluted Xiao Ran together, and immediately surrounded him, chattering.

"Benefactor Xiao, there are also cats in the mountain behind my temple, would you like to see them?"

"Xiaohua, Tuotuo and Dunwa are all in the back mountain, but Xiaohua is the biggest, so when it comes, Tuotuo and Dunwa don't dare to come."

"Benefactor Xiao, my uncle said that your little furball and snow ball are not tigers and leopards, no wonder they look different from little flowers."

……

Xiao Ran probably knew why there were so many Taoist cultivators here, and the little novice liked to surround him the most.

On the one hand, it was because Zen Master Guangqian had acquaintance with him, and the little novice was willing to get close to the people his uncle trusted; on the other hand, it was probably because of the charm of the little fur balls.

It can be seen from the small animals that novice novice monks talk about since they were young. Although they are monks, they are still children after all.

——It’s just, Xiaohua, Tuotuo and Dunwa... What are these names?Could it all be given by Zen Master Guangqian?

Xiao Ran has long forgotten that when he named the little furball, even the name "shit egg" appeared in his options.

Moreover, "little furball", "little furball" yelled and became lazy over time, and he had no idea of ​​giving the little guy a dignified and serious name at all.

Ancestor Qiao, who was responsible for half of raising the big and small furballs, had always had no objection to Xiao Ran's decision, so he did not object to the name "little furball".

So anyone who has a relationship with Xiao Ran and Qingyumen has heard about this little milk cat named "Little Fuqiu".

I don't know how the Four Sages will grow up and finally become the great monster of Lei Lingen in the future, how others will look at it directly.

It's like when others call his mother "the big monster born in Yuanshui, named Yuan Xin", but when they call Xiaomaoqiu, it becomes "the big monster born in Moxun Mountain, named Xiaomaoqiu"...

It's not too embarrassing just to let a powerful ancestor like Qiao call out this name!

But Xiao Ran will never admit that this is his problem - after all, the name is just a title, is it because the Four Sages are called "Little XX" that they can't become big monsters in the future?

……

Because hospitality is difficult to refuse, Xiao Ran asked him several times a day whether he would like to meet "Xiaohua, Tuotuo and Dunwa", Xiao Ran decided to see these "cats" with special names with his own eyes, to see them No matter how "special" they are, they are called Xiaohua, Tuotuo, and Dunwa.

But before arriving at the back mountain, Xiao Ran and the others "met" the big cat all day long.

After arriving at Zhike Liao, Xiao Ran released the little fur ball and snow ball from the imperial spirit ring, and they quickly "fished" a black monster in the bone refining period.

Li Haoqi seemed very relieved of Xiao Ran and the others, and was not at all worried that Wu Jin would be completely abducted by him.

So this afternoon, everyone who got together logically followed the three little bald heads and walked towards the back mountain.

In order to avoid the coercion of Daoist cultivators from frightening the monsters in the forest, instead of keeping them from approaching, people like Old Ancestor Qiao and Xiao Ran naturally withdrew their own strength, and Wu Jin, like the Sanhuobird who usually hides his breath, instantly become less threatening.

The little novice also deliberately took his uncle Guangqian Zen Master as "bait" so as to attract tigers and leopards to appear on their own initiative.

Sure enough, as little novice monk expected, when everyone "hidden" and watched from a distance, there really was a huge monster quietly approaching Guangqian on the stone slab.

I saw it carefully squatting next to the round stone slab, its upper body lying on the slate, stretching out its fur claws to reach the futon under him.

Xiao Ran looked at the spots on the tiger and leopard, and thought, "It's really flowers!"But the word "small" is somewhat inconsistent with the truth.

Because from the physical point of view, this adult tiger and leopard is even a size bigger than Ugin in normal state, but Ugin has refined his bones so that he can become even bigger.

To Wujin, the tiger and leopard are obviously not a threat, but to the little hairball and the little civet, the tiger and leopard are like Ugin, whom they didn't know at the beginning, like a huge monster.

Xiao Ran hugged the slightly frizzy little fur ball, and said via voice transmission: "You are not even afraid of sword repair, but are you afraid of cats?"

There is a saying called "the nest is horizontal", sincerity does not deceive others.

The little fur ball was smoothed and felt a little comfortable. It rubbed its small head against the palm of Xiao Ran's hand. Later, he felt that this was not "dominant" enough, so he stretched his neck to look at the big cat in the distance, with a look of "I will kill you with my eyes." I'll kill you" look.

Xuetuan naturally followed the little furball, staring at the tiger and leopard. Seeing this, Wujin took two steps forward, naturally blocking most of Xuetuan's line of sight.

The tiger and leopard that was trying to "touch" the futon in the distance suddenly noticed something, it looked over vigilantly, and instead of squatting on the ground, it immediately stood up and bowed, and let out a deep growl towards Xiao Ran and the others, waving Take a threatening posture.

Seeing the expression of the tiger and leopard, the little novice knew it was going to run, so he hurriedly chased it out, and said while running: "Xiao Hua, Xiao Hua, don't run."

When Hubao saw the three little bald heads, his hair exploded.

Although they didn't have that creepy aura for the time being, seeing Zong Yang and the others approaching him, the tigers and leopards still fled habitually as usual... Oh no, they returned to the forest.

Seeing the tiger and leopard disappear into the bushes, the little novice monk was a little disappointed, but they stopped obediently—the uncle said that there are people eating people to blame outside, so they can't leave Guiyuan Temple for half a step.

Seeing their disappointment, Xiao Ran comforted him: "So this is Xiao Hua... Really, it really lives up to its name."

Hearing the words, the little novice's eyes lit up immediately, and he moved to Xiao Ran's side again, explaining with one glance:

"Xiao Hua is a bit timid, she's even afraid of Zong Ning!"

"Tuotuo and Dunwa like the smell of Chiba nepeta, and when we light this, they will appear in a while! Sometimes the little flowers will come back!"

When Xiao Ran saw the dead branch pinched in the little novice's hand, he didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly became excited.

He quickly persuaded: "There are no mosquitoes here, why waste good things? We still have the opportunity to see Tuotou and Dunwa, so why rush, just let it happen, let it go."

"Benefactor Xiao, you are right, you should let nature take its course!" The little novice nodded repeatedly, thinking that the uncle's friends are reliable, smart and good-looking!

……

Later, the reliable Xiao Zhenren saw the beaver whose hair was so long that he couldn't see his eyes and the lynx who was so fat that he felt that although Zen Master Guangqian's name was unimaginable, but after seeing the real thing, he felt that it was not a powerful and unconstrained style.

Not long after they waited, Guiyuan Temple welcomed the Xiandingmen led by Patriarch Hehuai, Fairy Chuchan and Yuanying female cultivator of Qixuanmen.

I don't know if it's because the Zhike dormitory is full, or because ancestor Hehuai and other Xiandingmen don't want to get along with people from Qingyumen. They simply moved into the guest dormitory converted from the Sengliao to avoid the embarrassment after the "conflict".

Qixuanmen is a female cultivator, and there is a separate hut for female laymen in Zhike's dormitory, so it is faster to settle down than Xiandingmen who arrived at the same time.

Because most of the people from the Taoist sect came together, the discussion around Wanmo Ridge officially started.

Sure enough, as li xuan had expected at first, most of the Taoist cultivators had no intention of entering the depths of the Wanmo Ridge at all, but planned to test the surroundings first, and then judge the next action based on the subsequent reaction of the demon cultivators.

But then, there was a message from an unexpected person, which was originally intended for Xiao Ran.

"Bai Xucheng discovered that Dongjiao, Taoist Pengyang's confidant, had secretly left the Far West. They followed him and found him wandering around Wanmo Ridge!"
