The further the spirit bird flew forward, the less green there was on the ground. The swamp was gradually shrouded in black mist. What were vaguely growing were some huge gray-black vines. Not only was there no living thing, not even the birds flying in the sky were visible.

Won't stay any longer.

Going a little deeper, the fog is so thick that it covers the ground, creating a strange scene of a black sea of ​​clouds. A mountain peak in the distance goes straight through the depths of the sea of ​​clouds. The mountain peak is very wide, but it cannot be called steep. The top of the mountain and part of the mountainside are

It seems to have been artificially leveled. In addition to ordinary trees and flowers, there is also a strange building.

"This is it!"

The foundation-building female cultivator urged the spiritual bird to fall towards the top of the peak. Before it could reach the ground, a putrid smell hit her face. She put her fingers together and slowly pushed out a strong wind to dissipate the unpleasant smell.

"This is the east gate of Nan Chu Clan, Heihe. From now on, Heihe and this Heihe Peak will be the territory of your Chu Qin Clan!"

She smiled and said to Qi Xiu: "But the monks nearby like to call the Black River Stinky Water Ditch, so now you understand why the Chu family monks on the shuttle are so polite to you, right?"

The spiritual bird landed next to the strange building and put everyone down. "Is this the foundation of the future sect?" Qi Xiu came down and looked around, feeling a little speechless.

There are no human traces here at all, and it is isolated from the surrounding areas. Except for the peak and the mountainside, which seem to be able to grow some crops, there are black clouds billowing with stench at the bottom of the mountain. The environment is really not good. The most important thing is that there is no spiritual energy on the mountain peak. For

For monks, this place is not as good as an ordinary farmhouse in Qiyun Kingdom.

"Traveling thousands of miles just to get to a place like this?" There was a faint thought of regret in my heart.

Seeing Qi Xiu stay there for a long time without replying, the female cultivator of Foundation Establishment pretended to be angry: "Look, you are still not satisfied, right?" She took out the things she had collected for Chu Qinmen from her pocket, and pretended to throw them on the ground.

.

Only then did Qi Xiu pull away from his disappointment and fearfully bowed to apologize, "Nan Chu Clan has been a great favor to me. I have no dissatisfaction with this shelter."

But all she got was a grin from the female Foundation Establishment cultivator. She threw things away and said, "Actually, there is a secret here, and it's not a useless place. If it wasn't so dangerous, you wouldn't be able to get to this place."

Qi Xiu looked at her secretly and felt that she was not really angry. He organized some words in his mind and said: "I, the Chu Qin Clan, are deeply grateful for the kindness they have shown to the two ancestors of the Chu family. I am afraid that my ability will be low and there will be no repayment."

Opportunity. No matter what happens here, since I, the Chu Qin Sect, are allowed to be here, we will definitely fulfill our mission and keep an eye on this east gate for the Southern Chu Sect!"

"Hahaha, you think very highly of yourself. You work as a gatekeeper for my Chu family. Haha, it's so funny." The female cultivator laughed so hard that she bent over, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.

Qi Xiu's face turned red and he said the wrong thing again. Moreover, he was so embarrassed in front of the disciples that he had to laugh twice.

The female cultivator was almost laughing, and threw a piece of jade slip and a magic weapon to Qi Xiu. She put it on the back of the spiritual bird and said: "This jade slip explains all the things. You can only read it, and it is not allowed to be passed on to others.

This first-level mid-level flying magic weapon [Wind Formation Spirit Boat] is even a gift from me to you as a meeting gift from the Chu Qin Sect. The southern border is vast and sparsely populated. Generally, flying magic weapons cannot go very far, and the spiritual power of the wielder is limited.

It won’t work. This kind of spirit boat uses the magic of talisman formation and uses spirit stones to assist the consumption of spiritual power, which is almost a must-have in southern Xinjiang.”

After saying this, the spirit bird flew out of sight in a few seconds. The person left, and the lingering sound was still lingering in Qi Xiu's ears, "My name is Chu Zhuangyuan. If there is anything that cannot be dealt with, you can come to Nanchu City."

Find me."

"Leaving now?"

"Head, it's time

what to do?"

Zhang Shishi and Zhan Yuan saw that the female cultivator had left and came over to ask.

In the boundless sea of ​​black clouds, except for the strange building, only the Chu and Qin clan were left. They were helpless between heaven and earth, which made people feel sad and lonely. Qi Xiu sighed, "First of all,

The residence is settled, things are put away, and the rest will be discussed later.”

residence……

Everyone looked at the square building. There were no wooden pillars, brick walls, tiles, or cornices of Taoist architecture. Instead, the walls were roughly made of white stones. The roof was slightly layered, which could not match the beauty of a Taoist palace.

In comparison, the most special thing is that there are no doors or windows, and I don’t know how people at that time got in. One wall was damaged by someone, and a black hole was opened. I think the predecessors have found a solution.

"No matter what, this will be our home from now on, the foundation of our sect and the mountain gate!" Qi Xiu said solemnly: "Nan Chumen has made great efforts to bring us here, but now the arrow is on the string, we can only set down roots here.

Only in this way can we repay the kindness of the Chu family and the preservation of the Chu Qin Clan!"

He told Gu Ji to keep an eye on Qin Weiyu, He Yu, Zhan Yuan and the other four people who were organizing the boxes and cages outside. He took a fluorite for lighting, and he and Zhang Shishi stepped into the building through the entrance of the cave.

The inside is not as bad as expected. Entering is a large hall, which is very empty and takes up about seventy-eight percent of the area inside the building. Surprisingly, there is not much dust on the ground, and the air does not feel dull. Although the walls were once covered with paintings.

The murals were painted, but now they are mottled and most of them cannot be identified clearly. A piece of ground near the entrance of the hall was burnt black, and there were remaining ashes next to it. It was obvious that someone had raised a bonfire here, and it was the nearest one.

thing.

"Master, look!" Zhang Shishi pointed at a mark on the wall left by an unknown magic weapon attack and shouted. Qi Xiu responded and went over. The mark was very old, and the attack power was not very powerful. It was only on the stone wall.

There were several dents half a finger deep.

"It seems that this place has been used as a temporary residence by some monks, so fighting is not unexpected." Qi Xiujing\u65

Ad Road.

Soon other proofs were discovered by the two of them, such as traces of campfires or fights, and useless fluorite that had been discarded at random, all proving this point.

Finally, when I searched the only two rooms at the back of the main hall, I found that one of them had been cleaned cleanly. It contained a tank full of clean water, several hangings of dried animal meat, and even a complete set of clean food in a wooden box.

bedding.

"Is there anyone living here?" The two of them looked at each other with thoughtful expressions on their faces.

"There are pieces of meat here, so they must be the residence of Qi-training monks who cannot live without grains. It should be fine." Zhang Shishi said.

Qi Xiu nodded, "No matter what, this place is Nanchumen's territory. Even if someone uses this as a place to stay for a long time, as long as we declare our relationship with Nanchumen, the other party will probably retreat. After all, it is just a place to stay.

, If you have no spiritual power, you will not be able to arouse others’ desire to compete.”

"But I don't have spiritual power..." Zhang Shishi was a little confused.

Qi Xiu knew that he still had expectations on the road, and there was He Yu in the sect who had a better chance. If there was no spiritual power here and the monks couldn't practice, I'm afraid the Chu Qin sect wouldn't be able to keep these two people. Of course.

, if it is really impossible to practice, he will not force the two of them to stay.

Qi Xiu thought of the jade slip that Chu Zhuangyuan left for him, and said to Zhang Shishi: "The female foundation-building cultivator left me a piece of jade slip when she left. The content in it should be of great help to us. Call them all in and make arrangements.
