The journey started from leaving Kyoto City and staying in Menghua City for more than 20 days.

Two months later, we arrived at Dongli Mountain.

It's really towering into the clouds, shrouded in clouds and mist, and you can't see the top of the mountain when you see the foot of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, Zi Ling became the protagonist and took out the token:

"Don't you know who I am? Go and send a message quickly, saying that Zi Ling is back and has brought three friends with him. He must arrange the guest room well."

As he spoke, Zi Ling made a gesture of invitation.

The stairs up the mountain are extremely long and shrouded in clouds and mist, making it difficult to imagine how high you have to climb to reach the legendary Zixiao Temple Gate, which has a history of ten thousand years.

Ah Jiu supported Yaoyao along the way. Seeing that her energy was running low, he supplemented it with spiritual spring water. Although her meridians were severely damaged and she could not use spiritual energy to nourish her body through the circulation of the heavens, she could still maintain her energy and spirit for a moment.

"Miss Jiu'er, we'll be here soon." Zi Ling led the way.

The little Taoist boy sent to deliver the message had long since disappeared. Ah Jiu felt that everything would be arranged properly for this trip.

"Master, please give Yaoyao to me."

With that said, Xue Zhen picked up Yaoyao and walked up step by step with light steps, as if there was no effort at all.

The person walking in front is Zi Ling, followed by Xue Zhen and Jiu'er.

"Master!" Xue Zhen didn't say much, he just asked her to look at the sky.

Ah Jiu looked up and saw a white bird neighing, circling in front of Zi Ling's head, then flying straight up into the high clouds, heading towards the looming Zixiao Palace.

Then, he conveyed in his mind: "Master doesn't know something. In fact, Zixiao Palace is also a branch descendant of Yulongmen. It's just that at that time, the dragon disappeared and Yulongmen was naturally buried. Therefore, there will be people in the same master's sect who want to find another way.

After entering Zixiao Palace, they actually know how to control spirits, but they are not as powerful as controlling dragons. It is called a side sect, but it is compulsory."

Ah Jiu thought in his heart - is that white bird a controlled spiritual bird?

"That's right!" Xue Zhen conveyed his thoughts and then added: "I'm afraid it's difficult to enter this mountain gate."

Ah Jiu looked at Yaoyao on Xue Zhen's back: "Weren't you fine just now? Why are you feeling uncomfortable again?"

Ah Jiu panicked. She lay on Xue Zhen’s back and looked pale. Ah Jiu quickly took out the water bag, took off the cap and put it to her lips:

"Yaoyao, drink quickly, I have plenty."

Yaoyao tried her best to raise her head, and then her lips just touched the spout, and she fell tiredly on Xue Zhen's back:

"Jiuer, there is flatulence in this mountain...I feel so uncomfortable."

Zi Ling, who was leading the way, suddenly said: "There is spiritual energy in the mountains. Ordinary people can't climb such high mountains. I guess Sister Yaoyao doesn't have the physique of an ordinary person, but don't worry, we are here."

As he said that, Ah Jiu raised his eyes, and it really felt like the clouds were opening to see the sun.

The majestic Zixiao Palace stands on the top of strange peaks and rocks. Ah Jiuzhen is worried that one day there will be a thunderstorm and a bolt of lightning will strike down, and the Zixiao Palace will collapse like a cliff.

In the huge courtyard, a plaque with purple background and gold characters "Zixiao Palace" hangs majestically on it.

There are disciples guarding the door outside. In the huge square in front of the palace, various patterns, formations, and spells are carved on the floor tiles of the square. Each floor tile is as big as a millstone.

The sense of coercion is beyond words. After all, this is the first time that Ah Jiuchang has seen such a vast and towering mountain gate.

As soon as Meng Jiuer climbed the last step, he noticed that Yaoyao's head had relaxed:

"Yaoyao!"

Xue Zhen quickly put Yaoyao down and lay flat on the white jade brick. After feeling her pulse with his backhand, Xue Zhen said:

"Master, I will go and come back."

Ah Jiu had never seen Xue Zhen in such a hurry, and he took a pulse with his backhand. At this moment, Ah Jiu's pupils shrank, and he moved back and forth unwillingly, but he still couldn't find Yaoyao's pulse.

"Yaoyao, we're here... wake up!"

Ah Jiu took out the needle bag in a panic and quickly gave her acupuncture. Even for ordinary people, Yuanyang Qi comes from the kidneys, and the Qi and water of the five elements live on.

"Yaoyao, I'm using a method to help you get more Yuanyang Qi, but this method only consumes the body to strengthen the five internal organs. I really have no other way, you have to hold on."

At this moment, Ah Jiu remembered a voice:

"Meng Jiu'er, you have gained great merit by being able to practice on my behalf in the world. Now that my soul has completed its retreat, if you don't give up, you will have to watch your friend die in front of your eyes."
