Turned a corner while ascending

Yu Zhou felt that his elder brother was a bit strange recently.

Yu Zhou is a disciple of Tiangang Cave, the fourth-rank sect of Jingshan, one of the eight great gods. He has just been promoted to the second-rank bone forging realm, and he was selected for this trip. Participate in this Northern Wilderness Secret Realm.

Before leaving, the cave master gave each of the three a magic weapon, declaring that if they could bring back the legendary Sunburnt Spirit Wood, the magic weapon would truly belong to them.

This made Yu Zhou a little excited, it was a magic weapon!Although it is only low-rank, it is something that monks above the third rank can only have in the sect!

Yu Zhou's master is the elder of Tiangang Cave, a fourth-rank cultivator, who also gave him many useful talismans, and warned him to keep safe and retreat if things get urgent.

Yu Zhou disagreed.

The Northern Wilderness Secret Realm is in the Dongzhou of the mortal world, and most of the people living in the mortal world are mortals. Even if one or two cultivators can be picked out, how can they compare with a well-established sect like theirs?

In his opinion, this trip to the Northern Wilderness Secret Realm is as simple as picking something out of a pocket,

The city lord of Jincheng has practiced in Tiangang Cave for generations, and has an inseparable connection with Tiangang Cave. It was through the city lord of Jincheng that they got the quota for the Northern Wilderness Secret Realm this time.

However, as soon as he arrived in Lingwu City, Yu Zhou felt something was wrong.

He actually met many familiar and unfamiliar disciples of other fourth-rank sects here, and even many third-rank sects!Isn't the one over there the Young Master of the Jiangling Sect?The supporting stone in the palm is exactly the same as the rumors!

It seems that the news of roasting the spiritual wood really spread widely as his master expected.

"Eldest brother, the situation is not good. Even the young master of the Jiangling Sect has come." Yu Zhou hurriedly reminded.

"Don't be so wordy, just play it by ear when the time comes." The elder brother replied coldly, and gave him a look, which made Yu Zhou shudder.

Yu Zhou exchanged glances with another Senior Brother Zhao, and Senior Brother Zhao shook his head at him.

This is the strangest thing about the current master master.

When he was in the Zongmen, he was obviously gentle and polite, and he was very patient with his brothers and sisters. Yu Zhou admired him very much. The smile disappeared, the words became less and less, the utterances were all jumping out word by word, the expression became less and less, and finally turned into a cold appearance, as if covered with a shell made of ice.

Even when eating on weekdays, he changed his taste, abandoned delicate dishes, and preferred to eat raw meat.

Neither Yu Zhou nor Senior Brother Zhao would talk to Senior Brother unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Brother Zhao, this?" Yu Zhou asked quietly.

"Shhh, don't say too much, since it's the elder brother who is leading this time, then just follow orders, this elder brother, ha ha." Senior brother Zhao showed a sneer, and he had already classified the elder brother as the twin of a gentleman in front of others and a villain in back. Face to face.

"When will that be?" Yu Zhou showed a worried expression, and with his eyes, motioned Senior Brother Zhao to look at the people from the third-rank sect opposite him.

"Naturally, life-saving is the most important thing." Brother Zhao gave him a knowing look.

Yu Zhou was relieved, and decided to run away quickly when things were not going well. With Senior Brother Zhao accompanying him, even if he returned to the sect, the two of them would speak the same words, and maybe they could avoid accountability.

Thinking in this way, Yu Zhou didn't dare to talk to the weird elder brother again, until the Lord of Lingwu announced that the Northern Wilderness Secret Realm was just opened, and the two old men at the end of the white jade steps each took out half of the key and activated it with a secret method. The entrance to the secret realm behind.

All of a sudden, half of the mirror surface, which was as gray as a rusty bronze mirror, shook, and turned into clear water waves in an instant, flashing primitive ripples circle after circle.

The three of Yu Zhou were at the back, and when they stepped into the entrance of the secret realm, they felt darkness in front of them, and when they opened their eyes, there was a stone cave in front of them.

The light in the stone cave is dim, it is a circular hall, and there are large and small openings all over, some of which can be seen with naked eyes, and some are still dark.

There were some people standing scattered around, and they didn't stay for a long time. Basically, as soon as they were sure of their location, they chose a passage to go out.

Only the three of Yu Zhou stood still, and the senior brother chose a path on his own, and Yu Zhou and Zhao senior brother quickly followed.

The passage chosen by the elder brother was very long, and none of the three of them spoke a word along the way, but gradually, Yu Zhou felt a sense of crisis on his back, and as the exit gradually approached, this feeling became more and more obvious.

A monk's intuition is very important, and Yu Zhou never dared to underestimate it. However, looking at the senior senior brother at the front, Senior Brother Zhao who was parallel to him, neither of them seemed to be aware of any danger.

Yu Zhou quietly held the magic weapon bestowed by the cave master in his right hand. It was a small shield, the defensive magic weapon among the low-level magic weapons, and with his current ability, he could almost withstand the blow of a second-level peak monk with all his strength.

The few Wind Talismans bestowed by the master are buckled in his left hand. Although the effect of the Wind Talisman is only a short quarter of an hour after activation, it can increase his speed to three times the original speed, which is a sharp weapon for escape.

The exit is already very close, and the bright daylight can be seen outside.

Yu Zhou became more and more nervous, and the magic treasures and talismans in both hands were ready to be activated at any time.

He thought that there must be something ambushing at the exit, either other monks, or wild beasts native to the Northern Wilderness.

It happened that senior brother was leading the charge. If there was really danger, then with senior senior brother's cultivation, it was impossible not to sense it.

With that in mind, the exit was near.Senior brother went out first, but Yu Zhou paused.

Brother Zhao saw him stop, so he also stopped, and asked him with his eyes, what's the matter?

The senior brother didn't feel any danger, the exit was on the mountainside, he stood out of thin air, stepped on a willow leaf-shaped flying magic weapon, and seemed to sense that the two juniors behind him didn't keep up, he stopped and turned around come and see.

Yu Zhou secretly exhaled. For some reason, he seemed to be in no danger, but the overwhelming sense of urgency was getting closer.

He stepped out of the hole and moved aside immediately.

This is a cliff, with a green canopy at the foot, and a flat river in the distance. You can see a river shining with silver light. The aura is much richer than that in the mortal world. There is no one around, but there are some ordinary beasts under the feet, which are not worth mentioning.

While Yu Zhou was nervous, he wondered where did this sense of crisis come from?

"Senior Brother?" Seeing that he looked like he was facing a formidable enemy, Senior Brother Zhao asked suspiciously.

Yu Zhou turned his eyes back, looked at Senior Brother Zhao, and said in a somewhat impressive tone: "It's nothing, it's because Junior Brother is too nervous... Senior Brother? Be careful!" He suddenly exclaimed in a different tone.

Brother Zhao was a little confused, his back suddenly exploded, and then he felt a pain in his lower abdomen. He lowered his head, and a bloody palm pierced through his sea of ​​qi and appeared in front of his eyes. The ring on his finger looked familiar .

Looking up, the younger brother showed a terrified and inexplicable expression. He turned his head and ran away without any hesitation. Behind him was the pair of eyes that were getting colder and colder. His eyes looked like a beast that had been hungry for a long time, seeing a piece of fat thrown to its mouth...

Brother Zhao didn't even utter a scream, and died quickly with doubts and unwillingness. The "big brother" stirred his lower dantian with his hands, and pulled out a bloody mass of something from it, without any scruples. Throwing it in his mouth and chewing, while cherishing the taste, he looked at the place where Yu Zhou escaped with a pair of hungry eyes.

After eating the food, "Eldest Senior Brother" dropped the body, licked his lips, and chased in the direction where Yu Zhou disappeared.

But at this time, Jin Que, Bai Zhizhuo, and Tan Xiaoshu were together, and not far away were the other six people from Baihe City except Tanfu, but Gao Yuanyu was not there.

As soon as he entered the Northern Wilderness, Jin felt like a fish entered the water, and a bird entered the forest. That kind of feeling of being free and carefree, but also full of pride, appeared on a child like him, no matter how weird it looked.

Tan Xiaoshu has seen Bai Zhizhuo's power with his own eyes. He is the master of a third-rank monk who can kick a copper-skinned iron bone away with one kick, so he has always respected Bai Zhizhuo. The cute little doll is also very respectful.

He is now at the stage of building the platform and has opened eight acupoints, which is the lowest among all the people in Baihe City, and he doesn't understand why Patriarch Tan is relieved to let him in.

Talking and joking is still the same as when I first saw him. No matter what the environment is and who he is facing, there will always be a just right smile on his face. by your side.

The place where they were staying was a gentle grassland with a river nearby, but Jin looked around and whispered a few words to Bai Zhizhuo, who nodded, waved out a leaf-shaped magic weapon, and jumped onto it. high altitude.

However, Jin needs to find out the approximate location of the Sunburnt Spirit Wood. The trunk of this Spirit Wood contains powerful vitality. It is similar to Taiyi True Water, one of the Four Great True Waters, and is a very rare healing product.

However, because its efficacy is too high against the sky, the sun-burned spiritual wood is envied by the heavens, and it takes a thousand years to become useful. There will be thunder disasters anytime and anywhere around it, so its growth environment must be full of thunder and lightning, and the surrounding area is full of scorched dead wood. Very easy to identify.

Bai Zhizhuo has a fourth-rank foundation, and his eyesight is much stronger than him, so he should roughly determine the position first.

After a while, Bai Zhizhuo landed next to them, and asked Tan Xiaoshu directly: "Is there a map?"

"Yes." Tan Xiaoshu reached into his arms and took out a map for him.

This is a map of Baihe City that has been handed down from generation to generation. It is drawn based on the journeys of the children of Baihe City to the northern wilderness. Each city is different, and it is something that cannot be passed on between the cities on Dongzhou by default.

Bai Zhizhuo took the map, looked at it, and drew a circle on one of the positions: "We are here now."

He pointed to a blank space in the corner of the map and said, "The target is almost at this position, and if there are more, it won't be clear."

"It's okay, just watch as you walk." Jin Que said, winking at Bai Zhizhuo.

When Bai Zhizhuo turned his head, he saw that it was Gong Shiming, leading a group of five people walking towards them.

The corners of Jin Que's mouth twitched, his big eyes curled up, showing a pure smile, and said to Bai Zhizhuo: "Beat him lightly in a while, don't kill him, this person will be of great use."

Bai Zhizhuo was puzzled, and saw that Archer Ming had already walked in front of them, bowed first, and then said: "Three, we are all from Baihe City, why don't we go together, how about?"

He was speaking to the three of them, but his eyes were fixed on Bai Zhizhuo.

Tan Xiaoshu had seen this person before, and it was because of this person that he had a small conflict with his own sister, but at this moment, he was happy to be a qualified background board, so he was not in a hurry to talk to him.

But Jin hid behind Bai Zhizhuo, Bai Zhizhuo could only say: "The three of us have other important matters, so I'm afraid it's inconvenient to go together."

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm the second-rank bone-forging realm of Archer Shiming, among other things, if something happens to you later, I still have the ability to protect you." Archer Shiming said confidently.

"Oh?" Bai Zhizhuo felt that this man's eyes were like hooks, sticky and thick, and they kept circling around him. This kind of eyes... very familiar, but Ever since Jin Dan became famous, no one would dare to look at him like that.

"This... Fellow Daoist, haven't you asked for your name yet?"

"Bai Zhizhuo."

Gong Shiming's eyes lit up, and he praised: "Yaoyao peach and plum blossom, burning and shining, a good name, very suitable for fellow Taoists."

A vein twitched in Bai Zhizhuo's forehead.

He is a big man, and he was piled up with peaches and flowers, and he suddenly felt bad.

Gong Shiming didn't realize it, but intuitively felt that the fellow Taoist in front of him, the more he looked at him, the more he felt that his appearance and demeanor were not generally good. He felt that he had very good aptitude, and he had peerless luck. He was already a very outstanding figure in the younger generation Yes, but standing in front of this one is like cattail grass meeting an old pine rooted on the edge of a cliff, or like a delicate embroidery needle meeting a sharp sword that has been tempered for thousands of years.

Standing an arm's length away from Bai Zhizhuo, he praised with all his strength: "Gong has loved beauties since he was a child, but throughout his life, he has never seen someone like Bai Zhizhuo, Tao Zhiyao, It is shining brightly, the color of Fellow Daoist Bai is really not like a mortal, could it be that some immortal from ancient times has survived to this day?"

Bai Zhizhuo sneered: "It seems that you are very foresighted, and now you have promised yourself a lifetime."

Gong Shiming: "?"
