Taihua Mountain in this generation is more majestic and steeper than Huashan Mountain in later generations.

Under the pale and falling white clouds, stone mountains carved with knives and axes rise steeply, piercing the blue sky, with steep peaks and valleys, surrounded by clouds and chasing the sun.

Everyone walked along the stone steps carved manually on the stone mountain winding the mountain, being cautious and not daring to be impatient.

The stone steps were not as smooth as those in later generations. They were ups and downs, wide and narrow, and very irregular. The narrowest part could not even accommodate half a foot. Everyone was one foot deep and one foot shallow, and soon they were exhausted.

.

There was only a dangling rope on one side of the stone steps. Not to mention providing safety protection, they didn't even dare to help. Everyone could only follow one by one, holding on to the mountain with both hands and moving forward slowly. They inadvertently lowered their heads and

My heart was pounding again, and I couldn't calm down for a while.

Finally, we climbed to the top and could see patches of green forest and dots of birds on the top of the mountain.

At this moment, a black channel bird hurriedly passed overhead, circled around them, and then flapped its wings again, flying towards the top of the mountain where the clouds were deep and the forest was green.

And deep in the dense forest, I also remembered the strange buzzing whistle.

Suddenly, the uniform whistle buzzed more and more quickly, and suddenly turned into a long and shrill howl.

The bird that flew over the dense forest also sped up in response to the whistle, then swooped down like a black arrowhead and disappeared into the dense forest.

"What's going on?" Zhuangzi stretched his neck and looked at it, wondering.

"It's such a big gang, and we came up the mountain without even announcing it. We must have been detected. In my opinion, the Blackbird must have gone to Jingdan to watch the news." Zhuo Zhan wiped his forehead with his sleeves.

Sweating on his face, he took a breath and said.

"Hey, even if the person who came here is not good, don't let us go up and tie us up in a while." Zhuangzi felt a little uncomfortable when he heard it, and said worriedly.

"That's not a big deal. They are all from well-known and decent families. It is probably just a message. We will explain it clearly by then. It should be fine." Zhuo Zhan said calmly and continued to climb up.

"Lian Xin also said before that the elixir refined by this Crystal Pill Temple is the best in Xishan. All fiefdoms, city-states, and tribes regard it as a treasure. There is no guarantee that evil people with evil intentions will not come to steal it. They will definitely want to

Take some self-protective measures. This Crystal Pill Temple can stand for thousands of years and will never be destroyed. It is estimated that the force value of this group of people cannot be underestimated." Duan Fei analyzed.

"Let's be more polite when we meet later. First, take out the token given by Lian Xin, so as not to cause misunderstanding." Duan Yue was still a little uneasy.

"Xiao Yue is right. When the time comes, Zhuangzi, you should keep your mouth shut, don't say what you shouldn't say, and act with caution." Zhuo Zhan agreed.

Duan Yue was very proud when he heard Zhuo Zhan's praise for him, and unconsciously pursed his lips and laughed.

Chi glanced at Duan Yue in despair and said nothing.

I climbed to the top of the mountain and entered the dense forest. After walking deep into the depths, I suddenly became enlightened.

Lin Hai stepped aside one by one, revealing a majestic stone palace. Two ferocious leopards with sparse hair and pointed ears were tied to the stone pillars on both sides of the gate, baring their teeth viciously at everyone.

Zhuo Zhan turned around, took the small cloth bag handed over by Chi, and said seriously: "You guys wait here, I'll go over and knock on the door first."

However, before Zhuo Zhan could reach the first stone step, the heavy stone doors rumbled open on both sides.

Suddenly, two groups of young men in white robes rushed out from inside. There were men and women, each with high hairpins and thin swords in their hands. They walked lightly and gradually lined up on both sides of the stone steps, forming an inverted V shape. Zhuo Zhan was advancing forward.

The road was surrounded.

Immediately from the middle of the stone gate, a long-haired woman with fluttering clothes walked out. Her hair was tied in a simple and loose bun on the back of her head. Her black hair was like a waterfall, and her clothes were as white as snow. Her temperament was elegant and pure, but her face was pure and cold.

The woman stood on the stone steps and shouted loudly: "Who is outside the door? Why do you set foot on my Taihua Mountain?"

"Oh, I am Zhuo Zhan, a businessman from China, and a few of my companions..."

As Zhuo Zhan spoke, he stepped up the stone steps. Unexpectedly, the two fierce leopards locked on the stone pillars were just like the ferocious beasts in the past. When they saw Zhuo Zhan, they backed away, making a grunting and wailing sound in their throats.

The woman in white was shocked. She looked left and right at the leopards on both sides. She quickly pulled out the thin and tough sword wrapped around her waist. The trembling sword tip pointed directly at Zhuo Zhan: "Bold murderer, if you dare to take a step forward again, I will kill you."

Your head!"

The young men in white clothes on both sides also raised their light swords high, took a step forward, and stared at Zhuo Zhan with fierce eyes.

Zhuo Zhan hurriedly retracted his leg that was about to move up, and waved with a cheerful face: "No, no, no, you misunderstood, we are here to pay a visit to the head of Jingdan Temple, Xu Lianxin, a medicine farmer at the foot of the mountain..."

Before Zhuo Zhan could finish his words, he heard several whistling sounds of "Pap, Pap, Pap, Pap", and the stones hit the young men in white on both sides one after another. The speed and strength of the small stones were very fierce, and the hits were

A group of young people in white clothes had blood oozing from their foreheads and complained incessantly.

Zhuo Zhan quickly turned around and saw a woman in green leaping over his head like a wind whistling. Holding a blue inlaid sword in her hand, she fiercely stabbed the woman in white on the steps.

The woman in green was very fast. As soon as the woman in white unfolded the soft sword, she was kicked in the right hand by the woman in green. The soft sword rose into the air, shaking the soft sword body, and fell on the stone steps.

In the blink of an eye, the sharp edge of the blue-inlaid sword was pressed against the throat of the woman in white. The faint light of the sword reflected the fierce light in the eyes of the woman in green: "Qishuang, if you are wise, please stay out of the way, otherwise don't blame me.

The sword has no eyes."

The woman in white clothes turned pale with fright. Just when she was about to speak, the woman in green clothes' sharp blade was whizzing towards her. The woman in white clothes opened her eyes wide and slid back in fear, completely losing her previous coolness and calmness.

"Change of formation!"

Regardless of the injuries on their foreheads, the young men in white on both sides quickly adjusted their formation and stabbed the woman in green with a dozen thin swords in a lotus shape.

The woman in green glanced at the young man in white from the corner of her eye. The blue-embedded sword pressed against the woman in white did not loosen at all. She showed a sly smile at the corner of her mouth, flicked her left sleeve, and unleashed a row of powerful water bombs.

As the wind in the sleeves exploded one after another, the swords that surrounded him suddenly bounced away.

"Wow, it's water attack, natural witchcraft power!" Duan Fei exclaimed at the foot of the stairs. After all, there are very few natural witchcraft powers, and he is very lucky to have seen a few of them with his own eyes.

The woman in green's retracted left hand did not put it down immediately, but instead thrust it straight into the eyes of the woman in white in the shape of a scissor. The woman in white continued to slide backwards, but her heel suddenly touched the tall stone sill, making her unable to move.

Facing the menacing woman in green, the woman in white yelled "Ah" and closed her eyes in fear.

Just when the fingertips of the woman in Tsing Yi were half an inch away from the eyes of the woman in white, a snow-white whisk swung down from top to bottom like a long snake, and suddenly flicked away the woman in Tsing Yi's left hand. A piercing thorn suddenly appeared on the woman's hand.

bloodstains.

A water-pink neon dress floated over, like a fairy.

As the whisk rotated and rolled around, the blue-embedded sword in the woman's right hand was pushed out by the whisk. The woman in green still held the blue-embedded sword tightly, and staggered back two steps with the force of the sword being struck out.

He immediately stabilized his pace.

The woman in pink clothes pulled the woman in white clothes named Qi Shuang over, glared at the woman in green and shouted: "Senior sister, did you really want to gouge Qi Shuang's eyes just now? How can I say that Qi Shuang also grew up with you and me?

The older one, in terms of seniority, can be considered half of your apprentice, you are going too far."

This woman in a pink neon skirt looks like she is in her early twenties. She has bright eyes, white teeth, and fair skin. She wears a tall, thin silver-embedded white jade hairpin crown. Her facial features, clothing, and makeup are all exquisite but not elegant.

The loss of freshness formed a sharp contrast with the woman in green opposite who only used a tree vine to casually tie up her loose hair.

When the young men in white clothes on both sides saw the woman in pink clothes, they knelt down on one knee, holding the hilt of the sword behind their backs with both hands, the tip of the sword facing down, bowed their heads and said respectfully: "Greetings to the master!"

"Let's go, the leader is actually such a young girl." The strong man at the foot of the stairs looked at him and whispered to Duan Fei in a low voice.

However, as soon as Zhuangzi finished speaking, the woman in green clothes above seemed to have ears for the wind, and her sharp eyes like an eagle suddenly shot towards Zhuangzi. Zhuangzi was so frightened that he immediately trembled and all the hair on his body trembled.

The woman in green's eyes returned to the woman in pink again, and she said harshly: "Am I going too far? This guy is your apprentice, not mine. It's her fault that she blocked me from killing you. It's hard for her to have a pair of eyes."

What's wrong? But this trick is really useful. At least it has lured you out. Junior sister, since you are the one who came out to die on your own, your life and your position as the leader of Jingdan Temple,

Senior sister, I will accept it!"

After speaking, the woman in green clothes stood up and jumped back. When she jumped into the air, she suddenly stretched her hands forward, and two water dragons with both physical and spiritual features roared out from her sleeves and charged fiercely towards the woman in pink clothes opposite.

"So handsome, the two dragons are showing off!" Duan Fei couldn't help but exclaimed as he stared at the two circling water dragons.

Zhuo Zhan couldn't help but be surprised that he was an advanced water wizard. When he was in Nanshan, he didn't see an advanced wizard other than himself, but he didn't expect to see him here, and he was as powerful as water.

natural properties.

"Master, be careful!" The woman in white clothes named Qi Shuang stepped in front of the woman in pink clothes and spread her hands.

The two water dragons rushed straight towards her chest.

"Senior Sister Qishuang!" The young men in white on both sides shouted in panic.

At the critical moment, a vine wall was pulled up from the ground in front of the woman in white. The vines had dense thorns and small, round leaves that were densely intertwined together, forming an airtight high wall that blocked the two water dragons.

Come down.

"Quickly retreat!" With an order, the young men in white on both sides retreated into the door like a whirlwind, and the two heavy stone doors began to rumble and close.

The woman in green was furious and flew towards the tree vine, swinging the blue-embedded sword fiercely.

Just when the thorns and vines were cut, the two stone doors closed together with a bang, making a tight fit.

The woman in green became angry and gnashed her teeth while holding the heavy stone door. She turned back and slashed twice at the already dilapidated vine wall: "This damn vine is annoying to see."

The woman in Tsinghua jumped down the stone steps with her head downcast, cursing and saying: "She's a bastard, and she was run away by this little bitch again. The 269th assassination failed."

Everyone was shocked, took a breath of cold air, and looked at each other with complicated expressions.

The curse spoken by the woman in green was enough to surprise them. After all, in this era, it was the first time they had seen a woman's mouth be so dirty.

However, what shocked them even more was the second half of the sentence. This woman with profound witchcraft power and strong martial arts had actually been assassinated more than two hundred times without success. Rather than admiring her courage, it was better to admire her perseverance. This was remarkable.

How much hatred can be achieved like this, everyone thought in unison.

The woman in Tsing Yi walked down the stone steps in a low mood. When she passed by Zhuo Zhan, she raised her sharp red phoenix eyes and asked coldly: "Are you here to kill them too? I just saw Xiaoni from Qishuang.

I have used my soft sword against you."

"No, I just..."

As soon as Zhuo Zhan opened his mouth, he was interrupted by the woman in green: "Fortunately, I came in time and you were saved from their murderous hands. As your savior, how do you plan to reward me?"
