Before most people in Meiwu City could react, Louwailou and his party were already heading towards the depths of the Qinling Mountains with minimal equipment. At the same time, the Yuwen clan also made the same move.

Although the other sects and families were caught off guard for a moment, they had all experienced big troubles after all, so they were not panicked. On the one hand, they made arrangements to return to report the news in an orderly manner, and on the other hand, they were also organizing and preparing to enter the Qinling Mountains step by step according to the previously established manpower.

Therefore, not long after Shen Kuang and his party left Meiwu City, all forces also filed out and poured into the vast Qinling Mountains.

When that soaring sword energy rose from the ground, Shen Kuang also felt it in his heart. Although the feeling at the beginning had become increasingly sparse, he could still feel the special sword energy in the Qinling Mountains. .

Shen Kuang, who was familiar with the road and knew the direction, took the lead and led more than ten people towards the Qinling Mountains.

Among these people, except for Dai Shuang and Jiang Ning, the rest were all strangers.

Although it had only been one day, since that night, the inexplicable charm between Shen Kuang and Jiang Ning had dissipated, and the relationship between them had become clear and complicated silently. Still. As they were getting along as friends before, it seemed that they had just become more familiar. If you want to ask why, then probably only the two of them know.

————

The depths of the Qinling Mountains are dangerous, this is the consensus of everyone living in Meiwu City and surrounding areas.

Most of them are stories passed down by the older generation, mostly about illusory things such as mountain spirits and ghosts. However, as time goes by, people's fear of these things becomes more and more superficial. Until now, there are few Some people still believe this, but their awe for the mountains is still there and they have never been blasphemed.

Shen Kuang has always believed in these mountain spirits and ghosts.

The master had said before that the depths of the Qinling Mountains were dangerous, and even he did not dare to set foot there easily. At that time, Shen Kuang was curious, but the master did not mention much about the dangers. He only mentioned them lightly. However, those mountain spirits and ghosts were all bizarre and strange. Monsters and gods, the master really said that.

The master said that in today's world, many religious sects that believe in Taoism still believe in these. Dating back to ancient times, and recalling the previous dynasties, records of these mountain spirits and ghosts have long been common in "Miscellaneous Records". It's just that it's more recent. At present, there are few records of such stories, but most people who practice Taoism and martial arts still know something about these.

For such interesting stories, Shen Kuang had only told them in story novels or by old people in small gardens on the street. At that time, Shen Kuang still didn't believe it, and it was not until later when he heard his master talk about it that he Shen Kuang believed it. At that time, Shen Kuang had too few classics to consult and could not verify it from the books.

The master said that it is not easy for these mountain spirits and ghosts to cultivate, and it is even more difficult for them to become spirits or even transform into human beings. The spirits and monsters have a unique cultivation system that is unique to them. The predecessors unified it into the "Dharma", which is the same as the cultivation system of today's people. They are very different systems. The cultivation of these mountain spirits and ghosts can be roughly divided into four levels, namely spiritual body, combined energy, Taoism, and transformation.

It is difficult to cultivate mountain spirits and ghosts. Compared with human cultivators, the strength of the transformed mountain spirits and ghosts has generally reached the master level, and may even be a bit stronger than the general master level. At the same time, the spirits and monsters in the transformed state are all With the ability to transform into human beings, they can even walk around the world without being noticed.

It’s just that it’s more difficult for spirits and monsters to advance to the physical realm than it is for humans to reach the master realm. There are even very few mountain spirits and ghosts that can truly enter the spiritual body realm. Therefore, these rather secretive things are gradually being revealed by people. Forgetting is normal.

However, Louwailou and his group obviously knew that the Qinling Mountains were dangerous, and they probably knew more than Shen Kuang. So when the group entered the Qinling Mountains from the beginning, they protected Shen Kuang and Jiang Ning. In the middle, Shen Kuang pointed the direction and the others followed.

There was such a big commotion in the Qinling Mountains, which naturally attracted not only the people who came to Meiwu City from afar, but also some scattered people who wanted to get a share of the pie. Shen Kuang and the others encountered scattered people along the way. There were four or five teams scattered, and there were usually two or three people, but most of them were just one person walking alone, and after those people noticed people like Shen Kuang, they all avoided them.

The people in the building outside the building had no intention of taking action against the San people. Firstly, it was unnecessary, and secondly, Shen Guang knew that those unfashionable San people alone could not find the real place to hide the sword. In fact, those people also knew it in their hearts. , most of what they are thinking about is to use this ray of kendo aura at the moment to help their practice. Most people are willing to take some risks for such opportunities that are rare but cannot be sought.

In addition to these Jianghu people in twos and threes, Shen Kuang and the others had not encountered other sects gathered in Meiwu City. They were all deliberately organized by each sect for the purpose of avoiding conflicts.

The group of people hurried from nightfall to the zenith of the moon, and then found an open place to light a fire and rest. The incident happened suddenly, so they traveled all night.

Five people dispersed a short distance away to be on guard, while the rest gathered around the bonfire to rest.

Dai Shuang sat aside, holding firewood in her hand and constantly adding to the bonfire. She had a stern face and stared at the bonfire with no distractions, showing no special emotions.

Jiang Ning and Shen Kuang also sat side by side by the bonfire. The two of them stared at the bonfire in front of them and what they were thinking about. At a certain moment, the two of them turned their heads and almost caught each other's gaze. Look at each other and smile.

"Are you nervous?" Jiang Ning said softly after picking up a short piece of firewood and throwing it into the bonfire.

"fine."

After saying that, Shen Kuang thought of the rumors about the dangers deep in the Qinling Mountains, so he slowly said: "I once heard the master talk about the dangers deep in the Qinling Mountains. Miss Jiang, do you know these things?"

After Shen Kuang finished speaking slowly, Jiang Ning turned her head and stared at him, without answering for a moment.

Shen Kuang originally planned to pick up a piece of firewood and throw it into the bonfire, but he didn't hear Jiang Ning's answer for a while. He turned his head curiously and found that Jiang Ning was looking at him with a smile.

Shen Kuang thought about it for a moment, then changed his words with a smile: "Jiang Ning, I should be called Jiang Ning!"

This was an unspoken agreement between the two of them. Even if it was just pretending, for the sake of nature, nothing should be too extreme.

Jiang Ning smiled slightly and answered Shen Kuang's question: "I know a little bit! I heard that there were people in the previous dynasty and even in the previous years who had contact with those mountain ghosts. But now, people in the world don't know much about these ghosts. The knowledge of things has become much thinner, so we understand less. But it is certain that there must still be these existences deep in the Qinling Mountains, even at the destination of our trip."

"You mean around Fu Xuan Sword?" Shen Kuang asked.

Jiang Ning nodded and said: "Well! Fu Xuan Sword is a spiritual object born between heaven and earth. The aura contained in it not only attracts us, but also attracts these spirits.

Monsters are also very attractive, because they are of great benefit to their own practice."

"Jiang Ning, have you seen these monsters?"

"That's not true! But you don't have to worry, young master. There are too many people entering the Qinling Mountains this time, and those monsters don't dare to show up easily. Even if there are monsters comparable to the master level, they don't dare. After all, this world is no longer There is a world of these monsters. We are afraid of meeting them, and they are equally afraid of meeting us."

Shen Kuang is actually not worried about these.

Speaking of which, there was nothing for him to worry about. As Jiang Ning, he did not believe that Lou Wai Lou or the Jiang family would casually let her get involved in these dangers, not to mention invisible back-ups and various protections. All measures must be taken.

After the two talked about this, they immediately moved the topic elsewhere. They talked about how to seize the sword in the future, and more secret things in it. Of course Shen Kuang didn't know this, but Jiang Ning was talking and he was listening. The atmosphere was calm and peaceful between words.

While the two men were talking, a few faint lights of fire and shallow whispers suddenly came from the distance behind them.

The group of people immediately became alert, and the five people who had originally dispersed to look out quickly turned around. The remaining people stood up and looked into the distance. Even Dai Shuang, who had been sitting quietly, stood up and raised his eyes, looking over warily.

The group of people seemed to have noticed the fire here, but they did not take a detour. Moreover, judging from the momentum, there were more people coming from behind, so they were probably traveling together.

Soon, while Shen Kuang and his group were alert, the group of people behind them slowly walked not far away from them. After a while, they gradually approached them.

When they got closer, the alert group of people relaxed only after knowing the identity of the visitor.

Shen Kuang, on the other hand, looked at the people who came with some surprise. It was none other than Ci Yin and Dugu Nanqiao from Yunmeng Mountain.

They hadn't seen each other for some time. When they saw each other again, Nan Qiao looked at Jiang Ning who was standing side by side with Shen Kuang and was about to say something but stopped.

"Miss Dugu, Senior Sister Ciyin, Butler Liang!"

After Shen Kuang recognized several people, he stepped forward and greeted them one by one. Jiang Ning followed him without saying a word, and just gave a shallow salute to several people, but she narrowed the distance with Shen Kuang intentionally or unintentionally. The two of them were very close to each other, and Nan Qiao and Ci Yin saw all this. They were both daughters, so they knew every detail of Jiang Ning's small move. However, the two of them were calm and did not show any reaction.

The forces in Louwailou and the Wei Dynasty have always been on the same page, and have even helped each other. Therefore, Jiang Ning does not need to be too careful with Nan Qiao and his group.

"Junior Brother Shen Kuang."

"Master Shen."

After hearing what Shen Kuang said, Ci Yin and Liang Wenqin also replied one after another. They also glanced at Jiang Ning behind Shen Kuang, and they both knew her identity.

Nan Qiao's eyes also stayed on Jiang Ning for a moment, and then he looked at Shen Kuang and said softly: "Sen... Young Master!"

The title was relatively unfamiliar, but Nan Qiao didn't know how to call it for a moment, and her mind was a little confused.

Both parties knew each other's purpose, so they didn't mention anything about Fu Xuanjian. They just exchanged a few brief greetings and then passed by. When parting, Nan Qiao unconsciously turned back and glanced at Shen Kuang. That's all.

But I didn’t see what I wanted to see, let alone hear what I wanted to hear.
