Snake Mountain has many forests and specializes in a kind of tough thatch with jagged edges. At this time of year, these lush thatches have withered and become yellow in large areas.

Due to the establishment of Xianyi Town, there was a lot of traffic. As a famous place nearby, Snake Mountain built a stone road more than half a foot wide, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. There were also grass-roofed pavilions on the way, making it look like a tourist attraction.

Chen Youniao took Huamei to climb the mountain, paying attention all the way, and sure enough he found the Taoist priest again.

This guy's lingering ghost cannot be an accident.

Tracking and observation, or direct surveillance?

The Taoist priest was actually quite well hidden, but Chen Youniao had a keen sense and kept an eye out.

Although I don’t know the other party’s purpose, but I’m being targeted, I naturally have to put on a good show.

The journey went smoothly, and when we arrived at the top of the mountain, we saw several viewing pavilions built on top, with railings lining the top, which changed the original appearance of Snake Mountain beyond recognition, so we had to close the gate and sell tickets.

The place on the top of the mountain is very spacious, and there are many people there.

Among them, I actually found someone sitting cross-legged on the edge of the top of the mountain, practicing martial arts and practicing hard.

Seeing this, Chen Youniao secretly used his true power and found that in a high position, his spiritual energy was indeed much more abundant.

Looking up into the distance, we can see the majestic Yunmeng Daze, which is really vast and boundless...

Chen Youniao had excellent eyesight. After crossing the withered reed area and then the green reed area, he could vaguely see rolling waves and some black spots. Those were islands in the big swamp.

If you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of water.

What a vast place!

Chen Youniao admired sincerely.

It's just that in such a magical place, towns have been built around it, turning it into a landscape. The spiritual energy has weakened, and the grass has withered...

The way of heaven and earth is turbulent and changing, just like an instant.

Chen Youniao is not sentimental, but he has indeed had too many insights and sighs since he entered Taoism.

On the other hand, some insights can help improve your cultivation.

Many practitioners long for remote mountains and swamps to practice in seclusion. This is the truth.

Therefore, people from all over the world come to Yunmeng Daze not only to search for hidden treasures, but also to absorb spiritual energy and improve their cultivation.

However, around Yunmeng, the spiritual energy has been greatly depleted and it is difficult to continue. If you want to achieve the purpose of cultivation, you need to take a boat into the real swamp.

But the further you go, the greater the risks that come with it.

No one knows how deep and how wide Yunmeng Daze is, but in the unknown depths and widths, there must be the legendary great demon.

The terror of the great demon is beyond the power of human beings to withstand. Even if Daojun is at the same level, he will not fight lightly against the great demon when encountering it.

Because once they fight, it will be a fight to the death.

The main purpose of cultivating and seeking the Tao is for immortality, not for fighting and killing.

The great demon retreats into the wilderness, and the master lives in seclusion in the dojo, adhering to an attitude of pursuing the great road.

It's just that the main road has gone further and further away.

Chen Youniao had never thought that far ahead. Taking Huamei up the mountain not only acted as a Taoist priest to counter observation and surveillance, but also allowed Huamei to revisit his old place, thereby stimulating memories in his subconscious.

Huamei's home used to be here, so she should have been to Snake Mountain.

But from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, Huamei's behavior was very calm, nothing strange at all.

Chen Youniao asked in a low voice: "You haven't been here before?"

Huamei shook his head: "I don't remember, maybe I've been here, maybe I haven't."

Chen Youniao: "..."

Could it be that Huamei was still young at that time, so her grandfather didn't take her to climb?

It's very possible, after all, Snake Mountain at that time was not as developed as it is now, with roads and pavilions. Maybe there were monsters and the like on the mountain, making it a dangerous place.

It failed to trigger Huamei's memory, so it was just a one-day trip to Snake Mountain.

"Are you disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect?"

Suddenly a person came up and asked loudly.

He is a sturdy man, carrying a sword at his waist without a scabbard, and the cold blade is shining through.

Chen Youniao replied: "No."

"Is that the disciple of Fenggu Valley?"

The man struggled endlessly and asked again.

Chen Youniao had never heard of the Spirit Sword Sect Feng Gugu at all, and frowned: "No."

But the man jumped up and said: "Stop pretending! With the way you are dressed, you must be disciples of Fenggu Valley. You hide your head and tail. Take off your bamboo hat and let me have a look."

Chen Youniao suddenly became suspicious. The other party's questioning was clearly unreasonable.

The man shouted again: "Take it off for me."

Use your left hand to pick off the thrush hat.

Chen Youniao snorted coldly, stretched out his hand to block, and slapped the man firmly in the palm of his hand.

As the palms met, a hot breath penetrated from the palms and rushed into Chen Youniao's meridians.

This man is obviously a master of martial arts.

Chen Youniao first practiced Taoism and then martial arts. He had fought with many people, but he didn't have much contact with real martial arts masters.

Like Cao's bodyguards, they belong to the army. Although their killing moves are fierce, they are all fought on the march. In addition to individual strength, they also rely on the cooperation of the group formation and various weapons with astonishing lethality.

Such as crossbows and the like.

They are two very different concepts from the martial arts masters in the world.

In the past, Chen Youniao heard a lot of anecdotes from Chen Han and Master Huo, especially Chen Han. Every time he talked about it, his eyes lit up, as if he had entered the martial arts world of swords and swords.

But Chen Han's true level is actually just a show of skill, and his so-called knowledge is just a variety of rumors, which cannot be taken seriously at all.

Martial arts has been declining for a long time, and the situation is worse than that of cultivators. After all, cultivators often live long and can survive for a long time, but practicing martial arts does not have such benefits. They die quickly due to grudges and hatred.

Under the rule of the dynasty, most of the profound and powerful martial arts secrets were confiscated and handed over to the imperial court; some were also collected by the various Dao Dao for their own use, and were combined with Taoism to form other techniques, thereby transcending

Beyond the scope of martial arts, he became "extraordinary".

To be extraordinary is not to be human.

Chen Youniao learned real skills, and without the guidance of a master, he fumbled by himself, slowly mixed them together, and came up with a set of sword techniques that he could use to kill fiercely.

Although it cannot compare with those truly inhuman skills, in the eyes of ordinary people like Cao Peng, it is already very "inhuman".

Chen Youniao had long looked down on ordinary martial arts moves, but what the man in front of him displayed seemed to be internal energy. If you put it in the world, he would be considered an "internal master" that Chen Han envied.

It doesn't hurt to take this opportunity to experience it, and maybe you can learn something.

Regarding this man who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, Chen Youniao suspected that he had ulterior motives and ignored him. He just wanted to use him as a show to see what the person behind the scenes wanted to do.

Snake Mountain is not an immortal town, it belongs to the wild. If you start a fight, no one will care about it, and it will not violate the rules set by the Four Avenues.
