Unsurpassed Spirits

Chapter 280 Flaming Mountain

The turbulence disappeared, Ye Xiliang let go of his hand, and the two of them looked at the stone forest together.

The stone forest is made up of red fire rocks, but it is covered with flowing fire, and the heat waves are rolling in. It looks very strange. The sky here is a red-orange color, and the ground is also red soil, with no grass growing. In short, everything you look at is red. , as if they suddenly broke into a new world.

Luo Qingli and Ye Xiliang looked at each other in confusion.

Looking up, you can see a huge white vortex directly above them, and they should have fallen out of this vortex just now.

Ahri sniffed and let out a long sigh: "So many spiritual veins!"

It didn't take Ah Li and Luo Qingli to know this. The spiritual energy in this place was very rich, and it was obviously above the high-grade spiritual veins. What's more, the navy blue flame that appeared earlier could only appear in the place where the spiritual veins gather.

At this time, several people suddenly came from a distance. They were all wearing red robes, their skin was as pale as snow, but their eyes were all dark red, and their appearance looked different from ordinary people.

"Grandpa Meng said that there will be guests here today, and it is indeed true!"

The leader was a small and exquisite girl with an extremely exquisite appearance. Her big eyes looked at them curiously, as if she had discovered something interesting, and she said with a smile: "Look, their eyes are black! very strange!"

Luo Qingli raised his eyebrows.

The people in front of them are all Golden Core cultivators. This girl is already in the middle stage of Golden Core, but she feels like an innocent child.

Xiao Wu looked at the girl in the spirit beast bag and wondered: "Master, aren't they even weirder?" After it followed Luo Qingli, there was no one with red eyes like this among the people it saw. But... "The young lady is still very beautiful."

Luo Qingli shook his head with a smile, Ah Li flicked his tail and rolled his eyes at him, then turned his head silently.

Ye Xiliang took two steps forward, cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Taoists, the two of us came here unintentionally. We are really disturbing. We don't know where this place is. How can we leave?"

"Grandpa Meng said that those who come are guests, let us entertain you well." The girl tilted her head, answered the question incorrectly, and said with a smile: "Come with us, I will take you to find Grandpa Meng!"

Ye Xiliang was stunned and looked at Luo Qingli.

This group of people appeared inexplicably, and even what they did and said made people feel unclear.

Luo Qingli thought for a while and then said through a message: "Come over and have a look."

The spiritual power of both of them has been exhausted, so it is really inappropriate to have a conflict with them. At least for now, it seems that this group of people does not have any malicious intentions. You might as well find out what is going on while walking.

Ye Xiliang had this intention.

The two of them followed, but before they could speak, the girl started chattering: "You fell from the Star Fire Wheel. We didn't dare to go there. I tried to sneak in once, but I was caught there." The navy blue flames burned off a layer of skin, but it was Grandpa Meng who saved me in time. Why are you there? Judging from your dress and appearance, are you from outside? What is it like outside? Is the Flame Mountain beautiful?”

The girl seemed to have endless questions. Seeing that they didn't answer any of them, she couldn't help but ask: "Why don't you say anything?"

"..." You didn't give us any chance to speak at all.

Ye Xiliang pursed his lips and said, "I don't know what you call your friend?"

"My name is Fuye, this is Sweeping Dust, this is Duiyun..." The girl introduced them one by one, and the other two nodded to them as a greeting.

Compared to Fuye, Sweeping Dust and Duiyun were much quieter, but it was not difficult to see that they also had a lot of curiosity in their eyes.

Ye Xiliang continued: "Fellow Taoist Fu Ye just mentioned the Flame Mountain. Is this the Flame Mountain?"

"Yes, look at the bare ground here, and the arrogance is empty. It is like this all year round."

Ye Xiliang looked at Luo Qingli, who shook his head and said, "I have never heard of this place."

"Of course you haven't heard of it!" Fu Ye blinked and said, "The Flame Mountain is tens of thousands of miles underground and forms a world of its own. We grow here all year round and cannot go outside. I heard Grandpa Meng say that the last time someone came to the Flame Mountain, then This was all a thousand years ago.”

"Grandpa Meng is..."

"That is the most respected person here, the wise man in the clan." Fuye raised his head proudly, "Grandpa Meng is very powerful. He knows many things. It was he who told us to pick you up under the Star Fire Wheel. …”

Fuye said a lot more. From the words, the two of them probably understood that this Flame Mountain is an isolated place. Fuye and the others are the aboriginal people here. They have grown up here for generations and have seen it for thousands of years. Not a single outsider was seen.

Ye Xiliang asked again how to leave the Flame Mountain, but Fu Ye laughed and let it go, saying that they would know when they saw Grandpa Meng.

The two had no choice but to follow them until they came to a high mountain. The mountain was covered with fire and smoke was rising. Before they even got close, they felt unbearably hot and their chests were suffocating.There was a cave in front of the mountain. Fuye stood outside the cave, his expression suddenly became serious, and he whispered: "Grandpa Meng is waiting for you inside, we won't go in."

Ye Xiliang glanced at them, then at the dark cave, and walked in first.

Luo Qingli followed closely and found that there was a long and narrow black corridor inside the cave. When he looked back, the scene outside the cave had disappeared.

Ye Xiliang took out a luminous pearl for lighting and sighed softly: "It's finally clean."

Luo Qingli laughed, "That fellow Taoist Fuye is indeed very lively."

He paused, not knowing what he thought of, and shook his head, "I know a person who also talks so much..."

Luo Qingli couldn't help but think of Lu Heng, and laughed and said: "What a coincidence, I actually know a talkative person."

The two of them stopped talking about this and walked forward together.

Although Fuye and the others didn't show any hostility towards them along the way, they still didn't take it lightly once they got inside.

The cave is dry and cool, which is completely different from the heat outside. At the end of the tunnel, there is a huge grotto. In the center of the grotto, with his back to them, there is a silver-haired old man sitting, also wearing a red robe. Hearing the movement, the old man slowly Turn around.

This is an old man with a kind face, his eyes are closed, his face is smiling, and he is twisting a string of rosary beads made of an unknown material in his hand.

When he saw this old man, Luo Qingli immediately thought of a person, the True Lord Weiyang of the Thunder God Tao Tower in the Central Plains.It's not that the two of them look alike, but they both give off the same unfathomable feeling.

Luo Qingli couldn't see his specific cultivation level, but he knew that it must be above Nascent Soul.

"Junior Luo Guilan (Ye Xiliang) has met the senior."

The two of them greeted each other at the same time, and the smile on the old man's face became even stronger, but his eyes were still tightly closed.

"The two little friends are from the outside world." The old man spoke firmly.

Ye Xiliang cupped his fists and said, "To be fair to you, senior, the two of us accidentally fell into a maze, and then ended up here by accident. If there is any offense, please forgive me, senior."

"Since you two friends can come to the Flame Mountain, you are destined to this place. Not to mention that it is not easy for you to come down from the Star Fire Wheel. I will not blame you." The old man smiled warmly.

When Ye Xiliang heard that there was something going on, he continued: "Senior, I wonder if you can tell me how to leave here. You can rest assured that after we get out, we will keep the secret and not let outsiders know that there is Flame Mountain, let alone It will disturb the lives of the clansmen here. If you are not worried, senior, we are willing to swear an oath based on our inner demons."

The treatment of human cultivators is different from the treatment of the not-so-smart giant tree before. The giant tree passed by just fooling around, but this high-level monk may seem amiable, but he may not really be easy to talk to.

The two of them have been wandering in the maze for more than a month, and they have been wandering in the heart of that place for two months. Now they have arrived on someone else's territory. Although the time they experienced in this process is not long, this kind of unknown land is really difficult. It can make people feel at ease. It would be best if they could leave as soon as possible.

"It's not urgent..." The old man heard Ye Xiliang's request and shook his head with a smile, "You two are new here, don't you want to stay in the Flame Mountain for a while and appreciate the unique customs and customs here?"

Ye Xiliang's brows twitched and he sighed secretly in his heart. Sure enough, it's not that easy.

Luo Qingli asked with a smile: "Then what do you want to do with us, senior?"

It is impossible that this old man simply wanted to keep them as guests in the Flame Mountain. Since he was so kind to them, it showed that he did not have much malice, and he might even be asking for something from them.

If you want to leave here, it seems you have to pay a price, but you don't know what he wants.

The old man laughed, stopped trying to be sleazy with them, and asked directly: "You two have just arrived, what's your impression of the Flame Mountain?"

Ye Xiliang pursed his lips and thought for a moment before replying: "Isolated from the world, simple folk customs, full of spiritual veins, and uniquely blessed by nature... but relatively speaking, it is very secluded."

This was his overall impression. Although this place was hot, the fire spirit was still strong. He had noticed that the light escaping when Fuye and the others were flying should be the fire-based skills they practiced. In a place like this Practicing fire-based skills will undoubtedly achieve twice the result with half the effort.

It's just that this place is so big. Although it is helpful for practice, it is not conducive to experience. Previously, I heard Fuye say that no one here can go outside, and few people come in from outside. After so many years, it is no longer possible. Connect with the outside world.

The old man curled his lips, "My little friend is right. It has been more than 1000 years since the last time outsiders visited us. Our clan can only stay here and cannot leave. Not only are resources scarce, but our inheritance is also It is gradually missing, and if things continue like this, it is really not conducive to future development.”

At this point, Luo Qingli and Ye Xiliang basically understood that this old man just wanted to exchange something with them, including various resources and various skills that were only available from the outside world.
