Comprehensive martial arts: Qixia town storytellers, the beginning of the tie to Qiao Feng

Chapter 405

Jiulongling is located in the northwest of the fire area.

It got its name because it looks like nine giant dragons gathering together.

Kowloon Ridge is shrouded in fog all the year round, and the sun is not visible all year round.

Go deep into it and often get lost in it.

With a bit of luck, it may come out of it in a few months.

If you are unlucky, you may not be able to get out in this life.

Because of this, Jiulongling is also known as one of the three great jedi in the fire domain.

In the past, no one has heard of any legends about the ruins near Kowloon Ridge.

So under normal circumstances almost no one will come here.

But when what happened at the Duobao Building auction in Yanhuo City spread throughout the fairy world, Jiulongling immediately became lively.

In the past half a month, tens of thousands of monks came one after another near Jiulongling.

Some monks were watching from the outside.

Some monks were impatient, and directly organized a group to enter Jiulongling, wanting to explore the ancient ruins.

However, the monk who was anxious to enter Jiulongling was the first to enter for nearly ten days, but he never came out.

I don't know if I found the ancient ruins and entered the ancient ruins.

Still lost in the vast mist of Kowloon Ridge.

On the cloud boat.

Lu Yan stood beside the fence, overlooking the Jiulongling below.

The Jiulongling Mountains are huge and stretch for tens of thousands of miles.

Almost half of the area is shrouded in fog.

At a glance, there is a vast sea of ​​clouds, and nothing else can be seen at all.

It is worth mentioning that.

At this time, monks can be seen everywhere in Jiulongling.

Roughly speaking, there are more than [-].

And at this time, there is still less than half a month before the one-month appointment, and people will come one after another after that.

By then, at least 300,000 monks will gather here.

I really don't know why Duobao gathered so many monks here.

"This place is full of fog, if you enter it rashly, the biggest possibility is death."

While Lu Yan was observing the situation below, Zi Xun's figure suddenly appeared beside Lu Yan.

Lu Yan glanced back at Zi Xun and said, "Then how do we enter it?"

Zi Xun replied: "There is a Zhuangzi near Jiulongling, named Jiulongzhuang."

"Most of the people living in Jiulongzhuang are hunters. They often go to Jiulongling to pick a precious herb called Jiulongcao."

"These hunters have unique survival skills in Jiulongling. We only need to ask a hunter from Jiulongzhuang to lead the way, and we can naturally enter Jiulongling calmly."

Hearing Zi Xun's words, Lu Yan asked curiously, "If that's the case, why is this place still called a Jedi?"

If you want to enter Jiulongling, you can go directly to Jiulongzhuang and ask a hunter to be your guide. That is not to enter as you want, or to get out as you want.

Zi Xun chuckled and said, "Most of the hunters in Jiulongzhuang can only operate in the outer area of ​​Jiulongling."

"Only the owners of Jiulongzhuang in the past knew how to go deep into Jiulongling. This time we invited the owner of Jiulongzhuang."

"Other people can't invite the owner, so naturally they can't go deep into Jiulongling."

Lu Yan was not surprised to hear Zixun's explanation.

After all, the Duobao Society had already explored the ancient ruins.

Maybe it was the owner of Jiulongzhuang who discovered this ancient relic, and then sold the information to Duobaohui.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan asked again: "Since only the owner of Jiulongzhuang can lead us safely into Jiulongling."

"Then why did the sender bring us together?"

When Zixun heard Lu Yan's question, she looked at Lu Yan with a very special look, then shook her head and said, "I don't know much about this either."

Lu Yan saw Zi Xun shaking his head, his expression didn't change, but he was sneering in his heart.

you don't know?

You don't know that's weird!
Lu Yan also didn't mean to expose Zi Xun's lie.

He pretended not to know anything, and asked again: "Should we follow the old owner directly into Jiulongling, or do we have to wait for a month?"

Zi Xun replied: "Wait a month and see what the auctioneer wants to sell."

Lu Yan looked at Zi Xun's serious face, and cooperated with the acting, and said, "That's fine, if you know yourself and your enemy, you can win all battles."

While Lu Yan was talking with Zi Xun, the cloud boat they were riding in had already begun to descend slowly.

The place where the cloud boat descended was a valley near Kowloon Ridge.

There are many houses in the valley, and many people dressed as hunters come in and out.

It seems that this is the Jiulongzhuang that Zixun mentioned before.

At this time, there are not only local hunters in Jiulongzhuang.

There are also many monks from all over the world.

After all, Jiulongzhuang is almost the only village near Jiulongling.

The residents here must be the people who know the most about Jiulongling in the entire fairyland.

Therefore, after coming to Jiulongling, many savvy monks will find here, wanting to inquire about some news.

These people were right, they even inquired about the fact that the old owner could go deep into Jiulongling.

One by one, they approached the old owner's house, wanting to invite the old owner out of the mountain.

It's a pity that in the face of their invitations, the old owners of the villa all rejected them without exception.

It wasn't until the people from the Duobao Club arrived that these people knew that the old owner had been pre-determined by the people from the Duobao Club.

Faced with this situation, everyone had no choice but to turn around and look for other hunters to lead the way.

When Lu Yan and his group got off the cloud boat and came to the old owner's house, there were already people from Duobaolou in other cities waiting here.

Because they are both members of the Duobao Club, they are not in the same city, and there is no conflict of interest, so everyone gets along fairly well.

Lu Yan stood among the crowd and carefully observed the people around him.

Then he discovered that he was indeed the only alchemist among the crowd.

While Lu Yan was observing the crowd, everyone also noticed Lu Yan's existence.

no way.

Among a group of people who are at least in Da Luo's real fairyland, Lu Yan's real fairyland is a bit too eye-catching.

Facing everyone's questions, Zixun introduced: "This is Master Yan, an alchemy master from Duobao Building in Yanhuo City."

When everyone heard Zi Xun's introduction, their faces were full of enlightenment.

No wonder he was brought here with only the True Immortal Realm.

It turned out to be an alchemy master.

But having said that, what does it mean to bring a master of alchemy to such a dangerous place?
On-site alchemy?

This is really going to happen.

Then I'm afraid the alchemist may not have the opportunity to make alchemy.

But no matter what, Lu Yan was brought by Zi Xun.

In addition, he is a master of alchemy, and his status is considered noble, so everyone didn't say much.

As for Lu Yan, he was more certain of one thing from everyone's reaction, that is, his appearance was really a special situation!
He glanced at Zi Xun indiscriminately.

At this time, Zixun was talking with the owner of Duobao Building in Liangcheng, looking very happy.

But Lu Yan keenly discovered that Zi Xun was also quietly observing him!
Obviously.

Zi Xun also knew that everyone's previous reactions would make him suspicious.

But fortunately, his acting skills are outstanding, and at this time, it is very timely to show the embarrassment of being the only alchemist.

Not responding, or showing doubts, is not the best choice.

Appropriate embarrassment should be the most appropriate response.

It was precisely because of his most appropriate reaction that Zi Xun felt relieved.

Lu Yan observed Zixun for a moment, then turned his gaze to the old owner.

The old owner of the village has no name, and everyone in the village used to call him the old man.

Ever since he became the owner of the villa, everyone has changed his name to the old owner of the villa.

The old owner looked very old, hunched over, with wrinkles all over his face, and only a few thin strands of white hair remained.

Wearing a ripped and black leather jacket, he looked impoverished and frail.

Before coming here, Lu Yan always thought that the old owner must be a strong and powerful hunter.

But in fact, the image of the old owner was completely beyond his expectations.

If he met the old owner on the streets of Yanhuo City, he would even think that the old owner was a beggar.

However, Lu Yan did not despise the old owner because of this.

It is definitely not easy for a person who can go deep into Kowloon Ridge to return safely.

It is even more difficult to be selected as a partner by Duobaohui.

Hunters have always been best at camouflage.

The old owner's old and weak appearance may just be a secret disguise!

At the critical moment, when the disguise is torn apart, the old owner may erupt with astonishing power!

However, Lu Yan's external observation of the old owner was only secondary.

What he really cared about was the old owner's attitude towards everyone in the Duobao Society.

If it was the first time for the old owner to come into contact with members of the Duobaohui, he would feel somewhat uncomfortable.

But the old owner got along very well with everyone.

This kind of rapport is not a rapport of self-acquaintance, but a rapport of mutual familiarity and mutual understanding.

obviously.

It is not the first time that the old owner has met and cooperated with members of the Duobao Club.

Nine out of ten of his previous guesses were true.

It was the old owner who discovered the ancient ruins hidden in Jiulongling, and then traded them to Duobaohui in some way!

As for why not cooperate to explore the ancient ruins.

It was because Lu Yan didn't think the old owner had the qualifications to cooperate with Duobaohui.

Although the old owner may be the discoverer of the ancient ruins, he can lead everyone to find the ancient ruins.

But this does not mean that the old owner is qualified to cooperate with such a behemoth as Duobaohui.

At most, he can get some benefits from the Duobao Society, and can get a share of the ancient ruins.

It is impossible to want more.

As a shrewd hunter, the old owner must know the truth of chewing too much.

This is also the basis for both sides to get along well.

While Lu Yan was observing the old owner, the last Duobao Club team arrived.

Lu Yan observed all the members of the Duobao Club present, and a question suddenly appeared in his heart.

One month later, who in the Duobao club will show up as the sender and meet everyone?

By the time.

Will they go deep into Jiulongling alone with the old owner, or will they act together with everyone?
If everyone acted together, it would be really difficult to organize these 100,000 people together.

At this time, Lu Yan saw that the old owner was a little free, so he immediately moved over.

He asked the old owner: "Old owner, I want to ask you something."

The old owner knew that Lu Yan was also a member of Duobaohui, so his attitude towards Lu Yan was pretty good.

He chuckled and said, "If you have any questions, just ask, and the old man will tell you what he knows."

Lu Yan asked curiously: "How did the fog in Jiulongling come from? What is the biggest crisis inside?"

Lu Yan has been curious about this question for a long time.

Jiulongling is called a Jedi, so dangerous, so what are the sources of danger?

When the old owner heard Lu Yan's question, he looked at Lu Yan with admiration and said, "Many people came to ask the old man before you, and what they asked the most was where the ancient ruins are."

"Only you kid cares about the source of the mist and the crisis in Kowloon Ridge. You're not bad, kid."

Lu Yan smiled and didn't say much.

The reason why he doesn't care about the ancient ruins is because he knows that as long as he follows the members of the Duobao Society, he will definitely be able to go to the ancient ruins.

If he can't get to the ancient ruins, it means that he got separated from the members of the Duobao Society halfway, or was abandoned.

He learned about the fog and the crisis in Jiulongling, so he was prepared.

The old owner continued: "If you want to talk about the fog in Jiulongling, it's not just a fog, it's a poisonous gas!"

poison gas?

Lu Yan couldn't help showing a look of surprise on his face.

The old owner continued: "There is a unique plant in Jiulongling called glazed grass."

"This glass grass will spit out a white mist, which is the source of the fog in Jiulongling."

"This mist itself is not highly poisonous, but there is also a unique plant in Jiulongling called Black Dragon Grass."

"The black dragon grass will release a poisonous gas. If this poisonous gas is exposed to sunlight and under normal circumstances, it will dissipate after being in the air for a while."

"However, there is mist released by the Glazed Grass in Jiulong Ridge, which prevents the poisonous gas released by the Black Dragon Grass from dissipating normally."

"Over time, more and more poisonous gas has accumulated in this mist."

Hearing the old owner's explanation, Lu Yan asked curiously, "Then what is the danger of this poisonous gas?"

The old owner replied: "If it is light, it will be dizzy, and the whole body will be swollen and festered. If it is serious, it will naturally die."

Lu Yan asked again: "Then how can we avoid being poisoned?"

The old owner replied: "Black Dragon Grass is highly poisonous, and there is a companion grass called White Dragon Grass near Black Dragon Grass."

"As long as you take a leaf of White Dragon Grass in your mouth, you can avoid poisoning."

"However, the environment in which black dragon grass usually grows is extremely hidden, and it is not easy to find it."

"Only us old hunters can quickly find the Black Dragon Grass and then the White Dragon Grass in the mist."

After hearing what the old owner said, Lu Yan asked again, "Does everyone know about this?"

The old owner said with a smile: "As long as anyone asks us such a question, we will answer it truthfully."

Listen to the meaning of the old owner.

If you don't ask them relevant questions, they won't take the initiative to remind you.

This is not a good thing for those monks who are focused on the ancient ruins and don't think about the fog crisis at all.

However, Lu Yan still felt that most people would consider the crisis involved.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many monks around Nine Dragon Ridge still watching carefully, and they should have all entered Nine Dragon Ridge long ago.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan asked again: "Is this fog like this all year round?"

The old owner replied: "Basically, the mist of Jiulongling will not dissipate all year round, but there is one exception, and that is when the glazed grass changes from old to new."

Without waiting for Lu Yan to ask again, the old owner continued to explain: "Under normal circumstances, a glass grass can survive for 100 years, and because of this, every 100 years, a large number of glass grass in Jiulongling will wither and die. .”

"At this time, the mist in Jiulongling will become thinner, and correspondingly, the poisonous black dragon grass contained in it will also become less."

"This time is also the time when we hunters enter Jiulongling to pick Jiulong grass wantonly."

When Lu Yan heard the old owner's words, he thought about it and asked, "Will the next hundred years be just half a month away?"

The old owner looked at Lu Yan with admiration, nodded slightly and said, "That's right, just half a month later."

Lu Yan heard the words and said in a low voice: "As expected!"

Duobao chose to reveal the news at this time and gathered everyone here because it was about to be the time when the fog in Jiulongling was the thinnest and the poisonous gas was the least.

At that time, no matter who it is, it will be relatively easy for anyone to enter Kowloon Ridge.

Then the number of people who can find the ancient ruins and enter the ancient ruins will naturally increase!

After figuring this out, Lu Yan's only concern was the ancient ruins.

He asked the old owner: "Can the old owner know something about this ancient ruin? Any clues are fine."

The old owner replied: "Old man, I have lived near here for hundreds of years, and I have heard many legends about Jiulongling."

"If there are really ancient relics in Jiulongling, it must be the relics left by the Jiulongzong back then."

Nine Dragons?
When Lu Yan heard the name of this unfamiliar sect, he asked, "What is the origin of this Nine Dragon Sect?"

The old owner replied: "In the ancient times, Jiulongling was not called Jiulongling because nine geniuses were born here, and these nine geniuses all stepped into the realm of heaven and saints, so this place was named Jiulongling."

"The nine of them worked together to establish the Nine Dragon Sect in Nine Dragon Ridge. With the resources of the Nine Heavenly Dao Saints, they pushed across the fairy world, and almost no one can beat them!"

Lu Yan was a little puzzled when he heard the words, and asked inexplicably, "If that's the case, why have I never heard about the Nine Dragon Sect before?"

This Nine Dragon Sect had nine great heavenly saints in the ancient times, and its reputation was absolutely great. There should be stories spread outside.

The old owner replied: "The Nine Dragon School only existed for a moment of glory in the ancient times, but it fell due to encountering a strong enemy."

"In order to protect the sect, the disciples of the Nine Dragons specially planted glass grass and black dragon grass all over the mountains and fields, covering the entire Nine Dragons."

"Under such circumstances, outsiders cannot enter Jiulongling. In addition, Jiulongling is in crisis. Gradually, no one knows about Jiulongzong."
