The heavens start with Buddhist disciples

Chapter 63 Yuyuan Nine Mountains
Yu Yong, Yu Shi, Yu Qing and Mo Mo all came to Ji Ran's side. Yu Yong said: "Fellow Taoist Xuan Xinzi, please stay here this time."

Ji Ran asked back: "I don't know how many years the Yu clan has been guarding here."

Yu Yong said: "It has been recorded in the classics for thousands of years."

Ji Ran nodded and asked: "In the past thousand years, have people from the Yu tribe entered this passage? What is on the other side of the passage?"

Yu Yong was shocked and said: "It is recorded in the classics that under the fusang tree is Yu Yuan. Every time the passage here is opened, a monster with a human head and a snake body, skin like gray stone, crawling on the ground will appear. Therefore, our tribe has never Someone has entered."

Ji Ran nodded and said: "It's better to do this. This time Pindao will go in and take a look, and I will leave a letter from Pindao to my disciple. If I really can't return, Renzong will not blame Shushan."

Hearing this, Mo Mo said: "Master, I want this disciple to go in with you, and the letter can also be left with Chief Yu. I don't think Grand Master will make random accusations. And we may not be able to come back."

Ji Ran didn't persuade Mo Mo anymore, just like when he climbed Taiyi Mountain.Everyone has to pay the price for their choices.

Seeing that Mo Mo was about to go in, Yu Qing also said, "I want to go in too. As a saint, I have an obligation to let my tribe know what I'm facing."

Yu Shi also said: "As the guardian of the saint, I naturally have to protect the saint."

Seeing that everyone had expressed their stance, Yu Yong had no choice but to say: "Then I will prepare supplies for you. After three days, the passage will be stable, and you can enter again."

Ji Ran said to Yu Yong: "Please prepare me with supplies for at least sixty days and four swords. Once we enter, weapons supply will be a problem, so a maximum of four people can enter, and each person should bring at least two to three weapons. Each person must also carry at least five days’ worth of supplies.”

Three days later, at the location of the hibiscus tree, Ji Ran said to Yu Yong: "Clan Chief Yu Yong, please keep watch outside. If possible, it would be best to open a few places to stay outside the entrance so that people who come out can rest."

Yu Yong said: "Leave everything to me. Once you enter it, please ask fellow Taoist Xuan Xinzi to take care of my children."

Ji Ran nodded and said no more. Together with Yu Shi, Yu Qing and Mo Mo, they followed the chain to a platform. About five meters to the left of the platform was the entrance to the passage.

Ji Ran took the lead and jumped into the passage. No one followed Ji Ran's footsteps.Because Ji Ran had given instructions that after he entered, if he did not return within an hour, it meant that the passage was either one-way, or he had an accident and could not return.

So there is no need for a few people to enter again.

Half an hour passed quickly, and there was no movement at the entrance of the passage.Three quarters of an hour later, when Mo Mo was already a little anxious, Ji Ran walked out of the passage and jumped onto the platform.

Ji Ran said: "The passage is not wide and can accommodate a person like me. Most of the passage is formed by the condensation of magma and is extremely strong. However, we must also be careful about the possibility of local fragility. The passage is very long, so I ran at full speed. It took two moments to walk out of the passage."

"If the four of us were together, it would probably take several hours. In addition, there is a peculiar smell (sulfur smell) in the air. It is best to cover your mouth and nose before entering, or use a cotton cloth dipped in water, like this."

As he spoke, Ji Ran took some water from the supply point on the platform and poured it on his handkerchief, then penetrated both sides of the handkerchief with a strap, covered his mouth and nose, and tied the strap tightly behind his head, similar to a simple mask.

After several people were fully prepared, Ji Ran still took the lead. After Yu Shi was broken, Yu Qing and Mo Mo walked in the middle.The four of them ran fast for the first two hours, then slowed down and began to recover their strength after two hours.

After walking for almost six hours, everyone walked out of the passage.

What caught everyone's eyes was a straight arch bridge, and underneath it was a bottomless abyss.At the end of the bridge is a giant bronze door nearly six feet high and two feet wide.Unknown patterns are carved on the door.

While others were still sighing, Ji Ran's Qiushui eyes saw hundreds of monsters that Yu Yong had described before, climbing up from the abyss along the bridge piers.

Ji Ran ordered: "Yu Qing and Mo Mo retreated into the passage, and Yu Shi guarded the passage. After half of my physical strength is exhausted, Yu Qing will fight with Mo Mo, and I will rest. Our purpose is to clear this place as a stronghold for the future. .”

"We can even bring more people into this place. Yu Qing give me your Amaterasu Sword."

Although he was a little reluctant, Yu Qing handed the Amaterasu Sword to Ji Ran, and then followed Mo Mo and Yu Shi back into the passage.

Ji Ran stood about ten meters away from the entrance of the passage. From this distance, she could retreat into the passage in just one step.At the same time, some monsters will be released appropriately so that Yu Shi can kill them to reduce their own pressure.

After a while, Ji Ran was surrounded by monsters.They are indeed as Yu Yong said.The skin is gray-black, and the upper body looks like a strong man.The lower body has a snake tail, but it cannot stand up like a snake and can only crawl on the ground.

The Amaterasu sword is the inherited sword of the Yu clan. It is said to be the sword of the clan leaders of the past generations. Its shape is more similar to the Japanese samurai sword of later generations.Therefore, the knife technique is more fluent and smooth.

After several rounds of attempts, Ji Ran discovered that these strange creatures only had thicker cuticles and were difficult to damage with ordinary sharp weapons. As a famous sword, Amaterasu would not have difficulty piercing them.And they don’t have much wisdom, they are just more numerous.

After an hour of fighting, Ji Ran was a little tired, so he ducked to Yu Shi, handed Amaterasu to Yu Qing who came over and said: "It's best to insert it into the eyes, which saves the most effort. If you attack the neck and other parts, remember to use force. .”

After that, Yu Qing and Mo Mo entered the killing mode.After almost an hour, the two of them changed shifts with Ji Ran and continued killing. Unfortunately, Mo Mo's sword had been curled. Fortunately, Mo Mo followed Ji Ran's advice and also brought four swords.

After alternating like this for almost two days, I finally saw no such strange reptile creature.

Ji Ran said: "Exit here, return to the ground, rest for three days and then come down and take a look."

Yu Qing asked with some confusion: "Why do we have to go back and rest for three days?"

Ji Ran did not answer, but Mo Mo said: "Although we seem to have killed all these creatures, we can't guarantee whether there are any more under the abyss. And our current state is not good. After two days of fighting, there is still no update. Dangerous creatures, and it’s possible that there are no more dangerous creatures here.”

"It's also possible that intelligent creatures can command them. Seeing that the top is powerful, they retreated temporarily. So we have to rest for three days. If there are still no strange creatures here after three days, it means that this place may really be safe, and we can continue. Explored.”

After saying that, several people returned to the ground. When they returned, Yu Shi took the lead and Ji Ran took the rear.Although Ji Ran couldn't see any strange creatures at the entrance of the passage, Ji Ran always felt like a pair of eyes were looking at her.This is a unique feeling that one is about to enter the master realm.Before the autumn wind moved, the cicada felt a little inspiration.

Three days later, the four-person team walked up the stone bridge again, and nothing unusual happened, and they no longer saw that strange creature.So Yu Qing went back to inform Yu Yong to arrange supplies near the stone bridge in the passage and send two masters from the clan to sit in charge.

After passing the stone bridge and arriving at the gate, the four of them looked at the gate and studied it carefully to find a way to open the door.Ever since she was caught in the Eight-Door Golden Lock Formation in the Sword Burial Valley last time, Ji Ran has learned a lot about the formation over the years, and even went to ask Donghuang Taiyi to explain some knowledge about the Yin-Yang Five Elements Formation.

After looking at the door for a while, Ji Ran said: "The door has been covered with dust for a long time. It doesn't look like anyone has moved it. Kan Yi, Kun Er, Zhen San... This is the Jiugong Gate, but the lock is not on the door."

Ji Ran walked back and forth a few more steps and found a relief sculpture under the thick dust under her feet.The relief shows the gathering of three talents, with an ancient witchcraft text in the middle.Ji Ran called Yu Qing and said, "Come here and see what the word is."

Yu Qing came over and looked at it carefully for a while and said: "This is the word "日". It represents the sun."

Ji Ran looked at it for a while and said: "The three talents of heaven and earth, the three talents are also the sun, moon and stars. The sun is in the center, and the stars and moon should accompany it. Yu Qing looked at the witchcraft in the position of the three talents, and there should be something representing the stars and the moon."

Sure enough, after searching around, I found that the heavenly position is a star, the position is the moon, and the human position is also a star. "The two stars are accompanied by the lonely moon, and the sun is alone in the middle. Move the star in the heaven and the moon in the position. The star moves three times, the moon moves two, and the human position does not move."

According to Ji Ran's statement, Mo Mo and Yu Qing soon heard a rumbling sound and the heavy bronze door slowly opened.

Mo Mo asked with some confusion: "Shouldn't the star of the master's position be in the upright position? The star in the heavenly position is obviously in the reverse position. Why should we move the heavenly position but not the position?"

Ji Ran said: "The reason is that the sun is alone in the middle, and the moon is sandwiched between the two stars. This is obviously sealing the moon. The moon represents the lunar sky, and I guess there may be something representing the lunar moon inside this door."

"If you think about what is outside the passage, you should be able to figure out the key."

After entering the gate, another magnificent scene is in front of you.Nine peaks stand on the underground plain. The height of the nine mountains increases step by step. The height of the most central mountain is nine times that of the first one.

The two young people, Yu Qing and Mo Mo, were shocked and inexplicable when they saw such a scene, and then they became excited.But before the two of them could get excited for a long time, small blue flying insects flew towards several people.

Yu Shi stretched out his hand to catch the bug, but before he could catch it, the bug was killed by Ji Ran's finger, and then the bug's body burned with blue flames.

When Yu Shi saw this, he was very frightened.Yu Qing and Mo Mo also broke into cold sweats.Before a few people could breathe a sigh of relief, Ji Ran's words reached their ears: "Look up and take a look."

The three of them looked up when they heard the sound, and saw dense blue flying insects flying towards them.

Faced with this situation, Ji Ran still had the leisure to train his apprentice, so he asked Mo Mo, "Mo, what should we do in this situation?"

Mo Mo swallowed nervously, and then said: "Find a closed place to hide, or jump into the water."

Ji Ran said with satisfaction: "Well, you answered well. It shows that although you are scared, you have not lost your calm. Today I will teach you the third method."

As soon as the words fell, the three of them felt that the colorful world in front of them turned into only black and white.The flying insects all over the sky were frozen in the air and stopped moving, as if someone had pressed the pause button.

Ji Ran held Yu Qing in one hand and Yu Shi in the other. At the same time, he kicked Mo Mo and said, "Let's go. I can't hold on for long. I should be able to get rid of them when we reach the first mountain."

A quarter of an hour later, the four people running at full speed arrived at the first mountain.But what made them speechless was that although there were no small flying insects on the first mountain, there were snakes everywhere they looked.

A kind of black snake, as far as the eye can see, there are snakes on the ground and walls.

Ji Ran glanced at Yu Qing and said, Mengdie Chendu, you should have the necessary support to activate Mengdie Chendu.Yu Qing nodded and took out two golden leaves from his arms.

It is the leaves of the hibiscus tree, but they are not the withered leaves, but the vibrant new leaves.Yu Qing handed the leaves to Ji Ran and said, "When are we going to launch Mengdiechen Dun?"

Ji Ran said: "This mountain is not high, about a hundred meters. I have a hundred-meter-long rope on my body. I will throw it down with a sword tied to it. Please pay attention."

Afterwards, Ji Ran put Fuso Ye in her arms and used Harmony with Light, like teleportation, and left before the snake even reacted.All that was left was the afterimage that was shattered by the snake's attack.

After almost half a cup of tea, the three of them saw a sword moving straight down slowly.At this time, Yu Qing used the Dream Butterfly Escape, and the three of them reached Ji Ran's side and the top of the first mountain.

The first mountain and the second mountain are connected by an iron cable. As martial arts masters, the four of them reached the second mountain easily.The second mountain trail was empty, as if there was nothing.

After walking for a while, everyone saw a skeleton sitting in the middle of the top of the second mountain.Yu Qing curiously stepped forward to check and found a bead in the mouth of the skeleton. Ji Rang just wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

As soon as Yu Qing's hand touched the bead, the entire bead shattered and released a yellow-green mist.Everyone hurriedly passed the chain bridge towards the third mountain to escape, but Yu Qing almost fell down when they were halfway there.

Fortunately, Mo Mo's eyes were quick and he hugged Yu Qing, and then he reached the middle of the third mountain without any danger.

Ji Ran said to everyone: "That should be the outer elixir that the master used to sacrifice with a special method before his death, or it is also called a corpse bead. A bead that condenses the master's life-long energy and energy, after a long period of weathering, when touched, It will break into pieces.”

"As for the corpse gas that filled it, ordinary people would freeze up and become like walking zombies if they got a little bit of it. Fortunately, we all wore masks, so it was not serious, but Yu Qing touched the beads and was infected."

"I'll go up and investigate first. You guys can rest here for a while." Before Ji Ran could set out to investigate, strange creatures on the arch bridge surrounded everyone again outside the bronze door.It's just that the number is much smaller, but the size is much larger.

Ji Ran had no choice but to pick up Amaterasu and start killing again.An hour later, everyone reached the top of the third mountain.This place is empty, nothing.

So Mo Mo and Yu Shi respectively held hands on the road up the mountain and the chain connecting to the fourth mountain.Yu Qing began to use his energy to force out poison, while Ji Ran meditated and rested.

Half a day later, we reached the top of the fourth mountain.Mo Mo said: "Master, there is a strange eye here." At the same time, he pointed to the special object surrounded by snakes on the altar in the middle of the mountain top.

In the middle of the object was an eye.Mo Mo said uncertainly: "Is this another corpse bead?"

Ji Ran shook his head and said: "Probably not. But it's best not to move, after all, our goal is not it. After half a day's rest, we have enough mental and physical strength, let's move towards the fifth mountain."

Without further delay, everyone headed towards the fifth mountain through the iron chain.What they didn't know was that after they left, countless bugs seeped out of the "eyes" and actually ate the iron chain from the fourth mountain to the fifth mountain.

That’s right, it’s eaten without any leftover.

The group finally reached the eighth mountain after overcoming many difficulties, such as giant pythons tens of meters long and giant lizards several meters high.There are also four strange creatures that appear on the arch bridge. Their upper bodies are only five meters long, and their lower bodies are nearly 20 meters long.

At the same time, they also have a lot of wisdom. In the end, if Ji Ran hadn't used Amaterasu to use Snow Empress Chuqing, which penetrated the heads of the four monsters, at least one of the four would have been killed here.

What surprised them was that on the top of the eighth mountain, phalanxes were arranged neatly like an army.The direction the soldiers were facing was surprisingly the direction they came from, which was the intersection from the Seventh Mountain to the Eighth Mountain.

Ji Ran said solemnly: "I'm afraid this ninth mountain has a great reputation, otherwise there wouldn't be so many troops guarding the top of the eighth mountain."

Yu Shi said: "There are just a few hundred pottery figurines here. How can the Taoist call them soldiers?"

Ji Ran sighed and said: "It's pottery on the outside but people on the inside, and there are a lot of puppet bugs in people's bodies, so this is an army of the living dead. As long as the outermost layer of pottery is not broken to allow air to seep in, they will not moveable."

"You protect yourselves, I will rush through first, and I will cut off an iron chain leading to the Ninth Mountain as a notice."

After all, Ji Ran repeated his old tricks and began to move quickly to the Ninth Mountain again. Unfortunately, when Ji Ran just walked to the center of the army, a special suction instantly trapped him, allowing him to move But the speed is extremely slow.

Ji Ran frowned and analyzed in her mind: "This should be a huge magnet, restricting me by absorbing the iron on my body."

So with a thought in Ji Ran's mind, all the iron-related things on her body entered the system space, and she regained her ability to move quickly, and reached the Ninth Mountain through the Iron Chain Bridge.

After arriving at the Ninth Mountain, Ji Ran did not immediately cut off the iron rope to lead everyone, but climbed to the top of the Ninth Mountain alone.Different from the past, Ji Ran did not take the main road in the mountain this time, but flew directly up the mountain.

I'm afraid the people who built this mountain didn't expect that some people would "fly" to the top of the mountain instead of walking.If you can't borrow any strength, use Amaterasu in your hand to chop with sword energy to get a foothold and continue running up.

Finally, it took almost a cup of tea to reach the top of the ninth mountain.
