Zhu Xianzhi's sword Qingyun

Chapter 51 Fenxiang Valley

The bad land in the southern border is located in the extreme south of the vast land of Shenzhou. It is said that there are poor mountains and bad waters, and it is rich in poisonous insects and beasts.And the most obvious boundary with the Central Plains is in the extreme south, suddenly rising like a flat ground, with tall and majestic mountains connected one after another, soaring into the clouds, separating the north and the south.

In this mountain range that stretches for thousands of miles, there is a remote trail. Lin Jingyu, who is dressed in white, is walking along it with the Dragon Slaying Sword on his back.

The roads in southern Xinjiang are steep, there are many beasts, poisonous insects, miasma and bad water, so there are always few people. Lin Jingyu walked along this mountain path for half a day without seeing a single person.

This trip to southern Xinjiang was extremely bumpy, Lin Jingyu traveled thousands of miles to come here, not for anything else, just for a promise back then, the promise he made under the Black Stone Cave.A promise is a thousand gold, a man should be like this.

Fenxiang Valley is a giant of the Righteous Way, and it is listed as the three leaders of the Righteous Way along with Qingyunmen and Tianyin Temple. , can be described as highly respected.

Fenxiang Valley has a long history, and it has been passed down for more than a thousand years. Especially in the past 800 years, the disciples of Fenxiang Valley can be said to be masters, and there are many strong people. It is difficult to save people in such a place.

Lin Jingyu was also well aware of the danger and difficulty of this trip, so in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he conveniently lowered Liu Guang at a place a hundred miles away from Fenxiang Valley, put away his magic weapon, and walked to Fenxiang Valley alone.

The mountains in southern Xinjiang are completely different from the mountains in the Central Plains. They are less beautiful and quiet, and more majestic and steep.

Under the night, the rolling mountains stand majestically, criss-crossing, looking from afar, they reveal a sense of chilling.

Lin Jingyu stood with his hands behind his back, raised his eyes and looked, separated by two lower hills, in a relatively flat wilderness, four tall peaks suddenly rose above the ground, interlocking with each other, forming a valley.Behind these four tall mountains, under the vast night, there are countless shadows, which are the boundless Hundred Thousand Mountains on the border of southern border.

Among the four peaks in the front is the famous Fenxiang Valley.

The third night, this is already the third night that Lin Jingyu came outside Fenxiang Valley.During these three nights, Lin Jingyu tried to sneak into the hinterland of Fenxiang Valley more than once, but no matter how careful he was, he failed without exception.

Fenxianggu can be among the three great sects of righteous way, isn't it a waste of reputation?
Just when Lin Jingyu was standing on the top of the mountain, looking at the blurred outline of Fenxiang Valley, he was helpless, suddenly, a sharp howl was heard from far above Fenxiang Valley, and a red light shot up into the sky, illuminating a part of the sky, and then slowly Slow down.

Immediately afterwards, in Fenxiang Valley, the lights that had been extinguished due to the darkness of the night were lit up one by one.People's voices from far or near, mixed with some low-pitched angry curses that disturbed sleep, gradually rang out.But amidst the gradually growing noise, angry shouts and questions were mixed with the strange howling of wild beasts, coming from the entrance of Fenxiang Valley.

A moment later, the sound of fighting came over, and at the same time, the ringing of bells and alarms echoed over the valley at the same time.

"Could someone be storming Fenxiang Valley?" Lin Jingyu's eyes lit up when he heard the voice in his ears.

He didn't know who would dare to offend Fenxianggu, who was known as one of the leaders of the world's righteous way, so blatantly, but he knew that his chance had come.Foreign enemies invaded, and this was the perfect time for him to sneak into Fenxiang Valley.

Lin Jingyu turned into a stream of light, and escaped into the range of Fenxiang Valley along the winding ridge.

Fenxiang Valley is known as the pillar of the world's righteous way. Although it keeps a low profile on weekdays, it is a big sect that has been thriving for 800 years, so it naturally has a deep foundation.

Under the darkness of night, there were only a dozen paths, large or small, connected to each other, going deep into the darkness deep in Fenxiang Valley.On both sides of the road, there are ordinary disciples' residences, or tall and majestic palaces. Among these buildings, there are mostly flowers and trees, including green bamboos and plum blossoms, and bright and magnificent peonies and peonies. The halls are integrated into one, each with its own flavor.

The layout of Fenxiang Valley's architectural courtyards is very distinctive, like the meridians of the human body, winding and twisting, turning a thousand times.

Facing such a confusing path, Lin Jingyu didn't feel flustered at all, because since Lin Jingyu stepped into Fenxiang Valley, the Xuanhuo Jian tied to his arm began to flicker red inexplicably, giving off a slight warmth, It seemed to be guiding Lin Jingyu to a certain place.

Lin Jingyu followed the guidance of Xuanhuojian and walked to an extremely remote path.

The path is secluded, but unexpectedly long, and the shadows of trees around the path reveal a bit of weirdness.

Lin Jingyu walked straight along this path until he reached the deepest part of the valley.

Suddenly, a white stone tablet lay across the road in front of him, blocking Lin Jingyu's way. On the white stone tablet, eight words were impressively engraved: "The profound fire is heavy, disciple stop."

Lin Jingyu glanced at the stele, smiled, and said: "I'm not a disciple of Fenxiang Valley, so I shouldn't be among them." After speaking, he walked in.

Lin Jingyu walked around the stone tablet until he reached the end of the path, when suddenly a wave of heat rushed towards his face like a raging fire.

Lin Jingyu raised his head and saw a huge flat ground in front of him. In the center of the flat ground was a huge circular altar. The bottom of the altar was suspended in the air, supported by thirteen thick white jade pillars.Above the altar is a temple built of red foreign stones, which is fiery red and looks like a pile of red flames from a distance.

"Such a layout is really a miracle." Lin Jingyu looked at the Xuanhuo Altar from a distance, and sighed secretly in his heart.

Seeing that there was no one around, Lin Jingyu sneaked over quietly. When he came under the stone pillar and was about to float up, suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps coming from above. Lin Jingyu quickly hid behind the stone pillar, hiding up.

In the shadow of the stone pillar, Lin Jingyu peeked out secretly, and saw in front of him, the Fenxiang Valley disciples Li Xun and Yan Hong he had seen before were leading an old man in gray robes to go outside.

The old man's face was pale and thin, and he was wearing a gray robe. He was simple and unpretentious, and his demeanor was calm. There was nothing outstanding about him.If he was walking on the streets of ordinary towns, no one would recognize this person as a cultivator.

But when Lin Jingyu saw Li Xun's respectful expression, he guessed the old man's identity.In the Xuanhuo Altar, the only person who can make Li Xun, who has always been proud, be so respectful is the elder Shangguan Ce of Fenxianggu who is guarding here.

Lin Jingyu hid in the dark, seeing their anxious looks, they probably rushed out of the valley to deal with the intruders.

It was rumored that Shangguan Ce's Taoism was extremely high, Lin Jingyu didn't dare to be careless, he waited until their figures disappeared from his eyes before he dared to come out.

Lin Jingyu raised his head and looked up, not far ahead was the steps that the gray-clothed old man, Li Xun and Yan Hong walked down just now.Ghost Li walked towards the steps, only to see that all the steps were also built with the same strange crimson stone as the high place, and it was integrated with the surrounding stone balusters.

Lin Jingyu floated up lightly, and stepped on the steps. At this moment, the surrounding heat seemed to rise a lot, as if what he was stepping on was not that kind of red stone, but a real burning flame.

The Xuanhuo Altar has three floors, each with 36 steps, a total of [-] steps.Lin Jingyu walked carefully through these steps and came to the Profound Fire Altar.

Lin Jingyu walked to the front and gently pushed open the red-painted door. What came into view was a huge hall with a height of five feet. The ones I saw were all made of the kind of red rock, without any carvings and decorations, unpretentious.

On the first floor of the main hall, on the flat floor made of piled red stones, there are several hideous designs of gods carved on them.

On the second floor of the main hall, it was pitch black, with only a round hole emitting a faint red light.

Lin Jingyu flew up lightly and walked over. It was a stone platform with a height of half a person, in the shape of a cylinder. The whole stone was completely different from the surrounding red rocks. The shimmering light on the screen is constantly changing colors, sometimes reddish, sometimes lavender, sometimes light yellow, and sometimes green, which is really beautiful.

And on the plane of the stone platform, there is a ring-shaped indentation, with three characters engraved beside it──Xuanhuojian!
Lin Jingyu showed a trace of doubt on his face. After thinking for a while, he took off the Xuanhuo Jian from his arm, and put it in the dent, it turned out to be flawless.

Almost at the same time, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped inconceivably, from the sweltering heat to cold as ice in an instant.Against the faint red light, you could even see the cold white air floating down from the circular hole leading to the third floor.

Lin Jingyu nodded as if he had realized something, took out the Xuanhuo Jian, and flew up to the third highest floor.

Completely different from the first two floors, the third floor is an extremely cold place, so cold that even the feet are covered with thick ice.

Lin Jingyu stepped on the ice and walked forward quietly. Lin Jingyu had just taken a few steps when suddenly, a desolate female voice sounded in the darkness: "Aren't you Shangguan Ce?"

Gui Li stopped immediately, and after a while, his eyes were fixed on the deepest part of the darkness ahead, and he said slowly: "I am not."

The young man's voice is very different from Shangguan Ce's old man, and he can tell the difference at a glance.

The voice in the darkness asked faintly: "Is Old Ghost Shangguan dead? If he wasn't dead, how could you go up to the third floor of the Profound Fire Altar?"

Lin Jingyu paused, and just about to answer, suddenly, that voice became agitated.

"No, no matter how high you are, except for the old ghost Shangguan, there is only... only the Xuanhuojian can open the third floor of this altar. You, do you have the Xuanhuojian on your body?"

At the end of the sentence, as if reflecting her excited voice, the solid ice around Ghost Li instantly lit up with a dazzling blue light at the same time.

Lin Jingyu nodded, took out the Xuanhuojian that burned like a flame from his bosom, and said slowly: "You guessed right."

"Xuanhuojian!" With a sharp and long whistle, the woman's voice was instantly high-pitched, mixed with countless pain, surprise, sadness, despair, and a trace of desolation.

"Why, why is the Xuanhuo Jian on your body? Where is Xiao Liu? Where is Xiao Liu..."

There was a scream, the voice in the darkness seemed to lose its mind, and a huge figure leaped out like a nightmare, flying nine shadows, and came in front of him.

At this moment, Lin Jingyu seemed to have returned to the bottom of the cliff in the Black Stone Cave, he sighed softly, and said: "Nine-tailed Sky Fox, it really is you."
