Chapter 62

The morning sun shines on the valley, but it can't penetrate the white mist. You can vaguely see piles of rocks in the mist, which seem to be arranged according to a certain law.

At the entrance of the valley, the two teams met unexpectedly.

"Mrs. Yao Ji, long time no see." There were all Taoist nuns on one side, and one of the middle-aged Taoist nuns with a gloomy face said with a fake smile.

"It's been a long time. Daoist Xia Yi, are you here?" Yao Ji held down a girl beside her who was about to speak, and responded calmly.

"Tofu, everything is fine at Saoxia Temple." Xiayi said, quickly glanced at the opposite team, and asked pretending not to care, "Why, Master Suxin didn't come?"

"Master Suxin has some things to do, and I don't know when she will arrive." Yao Ji is also a veteran, treacherous and slippery, she doesn't show her words at all.

"Oh, that's good. Otherwise, it would be a bit of a disappointment to have Nanchu Wulin No. 1 alone in such a grand event." Xia Yi cursed inwardly, but the smile on her face became more and more sincere.

That poisonous woman Yao Ji has always been Miaoxian's answering person, who knows what other tricks she will not use.

However, there are no less than 30 or [-] people from these two factions. It is really outrageous to stare at the valley. Yao Ji knows that the destination of this operation can be hidden from ordinary people, but people like Saoxiaguan, Tiejianmen, and Wukong can't hide it. A big school like the Nianjian School has already considered all possible situations, and said confidently: "Ming people don't say anything else, what we are here for, we are very clear to each other. However, if we fight now , it must be to benefit others. Monastery Master Xiayi, what do you think?"

"Since Mrs. Yao Ji said so, naturally she has figured out a solution?" Xia Yi sneered.

"In my opinion, why don't you and I work together to 'clean up' this place first, find out the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir in the medicine house, and then fight to the death. How about it?" Yao Ji said.

Xia Yi pondered for a while, a secretive smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said slowly: "Okay."

"Then, happy cooperation." Yao Ji reached out to give her a high-five, but they were each hiding their thoughts.

"Hey, isn't that Mrs. Yaoji and Daoist Xiayi? How can such a good thing be missing Xuanming Palace?" With a cold and arrogant voice, seven or eight people came up from the mountain.The leader is a young man full of wild spirit, all of them are dressed in black, but they are all men.

Yao Ji looked at the young man at the front and frowned secretly.The person who spoke just now had a calm tone. He was far away, but his voice was condensed and undisturbed. It was obvious that his internal strength was close to perfection.And that young man would never have such profound skills.Xuanming Palace... Didn't Mei Junhan fall into the hands of Phantom Shadow Sect?Could it be...

Thousands of thoughts flashed through her mind, but she said with a smile, "It's everyone from Xuanming Palace! Why don't you see Palace Master Mei?"

Before the young man in the lead could answer, Mei Junhan had already stepped out of the crowd, with his hands behind his back, and said nonchalantly: "Mei Junhan is here, Madam Lao is thinking about it."

Both Yaoji and Xiayi couldn't help being stunned.

It's really Mei Junhan!Did he escape from the evil hands of the Phantom Sect, or... Xuanming Palace has already fully cooperated with the Phantom Sect, and it was the Phantom Sect who manipulated him here?

"Hehe, what a coincidence. In this wilderness, we will meet Palace Master Mei, who is so unpredictable." Xia Yi said with a dry smile.

"It's a coincidence that even the Wu Nian Sword Sect, which has very few directors, has sent people here!" Mei Junhan said, pointing in another direction.

When Yao Ji turned her head, she saw a group of young women with swords on their backs, and the leader was Murong Zi, the new head of the Wu Nian Sword Sect.What was particularly eye-catching was that they were accompanied by a pair of blood-soaked men and women.

"Hey, isn't that the Jade Sword Shuangxia from Iron Sword Gate?" the little nun next to Xiayi said softly.

Before the words were finished, the mountain where everyone was in suddenly shook slightly, and countless rubble fell from the cliffs on both sides, like an earthquake.

"Be careful! Everyone stand firm!" Everyone ignored the fight, and hurriedly found an open place to stabilize their figures.If there was an earthquake at this time, it would not be fun for the rock mountain to collapse. No matter how high the martial arts are, they are insignificant in front of the forces of nature.

After a while, the shaking of the earth gradually calmed down, and the Taniguchi, which was originally filled with thick fog, no longer saw a trace of fog. When I looked at it, there were countless piles of rocks as high as two people, and the edge could not be seen at a glance.

Yao Ji was slightly surprised, and wondered: "There should be the entrance of the medicine house, why did it suddenly open? Could it be that..."

"Someone got there first?" Xia Yi asked.

"Then what are you waiting for? Go in and have a look!" Someone yelled.

Several factions present stared at each other, but no one took the lead.No way, no one can trust anyone.In this weird atmosphere, no one wants to be the first bird.

"Don't Master Xiayi want the Nine-Turn Golden Pill? Please." Yao Ji broke the silence with a sweet smile.

"Madam Yao Ji doesn't want to go in?" Xia Yi sneered.

"I think this way, everyone doesn't need to calculate, and this stalemate is not a solution." Murong Zi of the Wunian Sword Sect came over and said indifferently, "Anyway, everyone knows that the evil doctor Shangguan Xuanji Tianzong is a genius. The formations can be said to be the best in the world. Obviously, the valley here is just a maze at the entrance, and there are still many forks in it. Why don't you enter in batches, life and death, success or failure, and each has its destiny!"

"Who comes first? How to distribute?" Yao Ji raised her eyebrows.

"It's simple, just draw lots." Mei Junhan said, turning over his hand, took out four slender silver needles, folded them casually, and broke them into different lengths. By analogy, I'll just take the last one."

Seeing him break the needle made of fine steel like a tree branch so lightly, everyone present couldn't help but feel terrified.

"Master Murong is right, Palace Master Mei's method is fair." Xia Yi said coldly.

Mei Junhan turned to look at Yao Ji and Murong Zi again
"I think this method is very good." Murong Zi smiled slightly.

"I have no objection." After Yao Ji finished speaking, she stepped forward and smoked one.

Xia Yi and Murong Zi glanced at each other, and at the same time stepped forward to take a silver needle each.

Mei Jun smiled coldly, and spread out his palm, only to see a short needle lying on his palm, obviously the shortest.

"That's it, Guanzhu Xiayi invites you first." Mei Junhan said.

Xia Yi let out a "hum", without saying a word, she led her disciples into the valley.After a while, Murong Zi took a meaningful look at the two groups of people left behind, and walked cautiously towards the valley, ignoring the Jade Sword Shuangxia who were thrown aside.

In an instant, the atmosphere outside the valley became tense.

Yao Ji looked at Mei Junhan who had a calm expression on her face, and thought about it secretly.

The last time Mei Junhan was injured and competed with Mu Qingchen, it should be more injuries, and it has been less than a month, but how is the recovery?if……

"Madam won't you go in?" Mei Junhan asked sarcastically with the corners of her lips curled up, and with a swipe of her foot intentionally or unintentionally, a stone the size of a fist was shattered soundlessly.

Yao Ji frowned slightly, and immediately stopped thinking about taking the opportunity to get rid of him.Mei Junhan's martial arts are too high, if he is not injured, he alone is definitely not his opponent.What's more, who knows if there is any Phantom Gate behind him?
"Ma'am..." A girl gently tugged on Yaoji's sleeve.

"Go!" Yao Ji changed her mind, finally made up her mind, turned around and walked towards the valley.

In a blink of an eye, only the people from Xuanming Palace and the Jade Sword Shuangxia who fell unconscious on the ground were left in the empty Taniguchi.

"Puchi—" Among the people in Xuanming Palace, a woman's laughter suddenly sounded.

"I really don't know how to live or die." Another sneered.

"Su Hailing, what are you thinking?" Mei Junhan said angrily.

"Isn't this fun?" Su Hailing, dressed in men's attire, walked out of the crowd with Mu Qingchen, Haoyue and Situ Ye, smiling authentically.

Mei Junhan had a gloomy expression on his face. When he suddenly met them in the mountains yesterday, he knew he was in a big trouble again.But he, Mei Junhan, is not shy of things, and it's good to have the opportunity to make those so-called decent families vent their anger.He has not forgotten how cunning this woman surnamed Su is!
"What should we do next?" Haoyue said.

"Don't worry, let them in, it's good to see." Situ Ye smiled triumphantly, and looked at Mei Junhan's hand curiously, "But how could you just leave the shortest one so coincidentally?" root?"

"When I spread my hand, I secretly exercised my skills and shattered the lower half of the silver needle, leaving the shortest one naturally." Mei Junhan said indifferently.

"Cheating." Situ Ye pouted.

"When shall we go in?" Mu Qingchen asked.

"Wait another half an hour." Situ Ye looked at the sky, estimated the time, and said, "The life gate of this formation is constantly changing with the transition of twelve hours, and it will be just half an hour later."

When Mei Junhan heard this, with a wave of his hand, all the subordinates of Xuanming Palace dispersed and hid in the dark.

"What about those two people?" Haoyue looked at the Jade Sword Shuangxia not far away.

Mei Junhan's eyes turned cold, and she raised her palm like a knife.

Haoyue hesitated slightly, and Situ Ye had already walked over: "Leave it to me. Using poison won't look unnatural."

"Jun Han, even you are here, it's not just because of some non-existent nine-turn golden elixir?" Su Hailing randomly found a stone and sat down.

"What do you think?" Mei Junhan sat down not far from her generously, and said with a cold smile, "What kind of skill, those old Jianghu can really believe this? It's just a smoke released by someone with a heart to confuse the public. Just play."

"Then what is there in the medicine house that can cause a sensation in the entire Southern Chu Jianghu?" Su Hailing asked curiously.

"Jinding, the legendary Linglong Jinding." Mei Junhan said in a deep voice.

"Linglong Jinding?" Su Hailing asked blankly, "What is that?"

"You are from the Dayong imperial family, yet you don't know about Linglong Jinding?" Mei Junhan had a strange expression on his face.

"For thousands of years, there has been a legend in the mainland that the one who wins the exquisite and golden tripod wins the world." Situ Ye walked over while wiping his hands with a silk scarf. It was obvious that the two unlucky ghosts from the Iron Sword Gate would definitely not be saved.

Hearing this, Su Hailing couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Crazy?" Situ Ye tilted his head and tapped her head with a finger.

"Are you kidding me!" Su Hailing restrained his smile, and said disdainfully, "The one who wins the exquisite and golden tripod wins the world? What do the civil and military officials do? What do the soldiers of the three armies do? All go home and farm. With a tripod, you can sit firmly in the country! It's a big joke in the world."

"Although you can't believe all the legends, you can't completely disbelieve them." Mei Jun said coldly, "If you want...then you might as well give it a try."

The few words he said were extremely vague, but Su Hailing understood what he meant.However, she had other plans in mind.If there is such a legend, then... even though the Linglong Golden Dingod is a symbol of uniting the hearts of the people and the return of the world, it is still a hot potato.Before there is no corresponding strength, possessing it is just a scourge!

"That's not right!" Situ Ye interrupted from the side, "If the one who wins the exquisite golden tripod wins the world, then why didn't the officials of the Three Kingdoms move, but instead, the Southern Chu Wulin fought to the death? This thing is not only useless in their hands , On the contrary, it will cause the emperor's taboo!"

"Good question." Mei Jun smiled coldly, but looked at Su Hailing.

"The things came from Southern Chu, if Western Qin and Dayong sent people, it would be too conspicuous." Su Hailing smiled slightly, "Even Southern Chu, I'm afraid they know the reason for the crime of Huai Bi, after all, in terms of military and national power. , Dayong is far stronger than him. Keeping Linglong Jinding will only give Dayong an excuse to go to war."

"You mean..." Situ Ye frowned. He was born in a family of officials and officials, so he is still very sensitive to politics. "Among the various factions of Southern Chu Wulin are there internal representatives from various countries?"

"The Southern Chu government has always been entangled with the Jianghu. Although Xiqin and Dayong look down on people in the Jianghu, they will not let a force develop under their noses. Even if they can't control it in their own hands, they have to install a few. Don't worry about yourself? I just don't know which force belongs to Dayong." Su Hailing looked at Taniguchi thoughtfully.

"Unexpectedly, it would turn into a struggle among the Three Kingdoms." Haoyue said.

"Hailing, do you want that exquisite golden tripod?" Mu Qingchen asked suddenly.

"No!" Su Hailing refused almost without consideration, and then said with a smile, "But we can't let that broken tripod fall into the hands of any power."

"However, if there is an exquisite golden tripod in the medicine hut, how could I not know about it?" Situ Ye wondered, "Who is it, and what is the purpose of releasing such news?"

"It's not important, what's important is what are you going to do?" Mei Junhan's eyes were full of scrutiny.

"How many people came here in total?" Su Hailing thought for a while.

"Among the several sects in Southern Chu, except for Miaoxian Nunnery, there are basically people coming." Mei Junhan said, "Because Dayong and Western Qin are far away, the news has not been spread widely enough, and there is no movement on the surface."

"These people who came here are all for Linglong Jinding, right?" Su Hailing said.

"Of course, the legend of the Linglong Golden Cauldron is a secret of the royal families of all countries. How can ordinary people know about it?" Mei Junhan rolled her eyes and continued, "The Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, which has added a six-year-old skill, is very important to ordinary people in the world. It is attractive enough for middle-aged people, after all, the name of the evil doctor is there."

"If Master could really make this kind of thing, wouldn't she have already become the best expert in the world?" Situ Ye said incredulously, "I really don't understand if those people are pretending to be shit or not."

Su Hailing couldn't help laughing, and said after a while, "Junhan, Yue, you all spread the news and let people spread rumors across the entire continent, saying...there is a peerless treasure Linglong Jinding hidden in the Qingnian Mountains , is related to the secret of a treasure, whoever can get the golden tripod will get countless gold and silver treasures, martial arts cheats...Anyway, you make it up specifically, the more outrageous it is, the better."

"This..." Haoyue was stunned and said after a long time, "Will anyone believe this?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it." Su Hailing smiled, "People's curiosity is endless. Even if they know it's false, they will come and take a look after hearing such rumors. Then they will find out... The sects are all near the Qingnian Mountains."

"You want to fish in troubled waters?" Mei Junhan said.

"I just want to stir in the already muddy water, but this fish... anyone who wants it can take it away." Su Hailing said indifferently, "As long as it is not the royal family of the Three Kingdoms, anyone can get it." It doesn't matter if you buy Linglong Jinding."

"You're so bad!" Situ Ye smiled "hehe".

"If you don't want it, why not destroy it?" Mu Qingchen said.

"It's not that I don't want it, but I'm afraid I can't afford it." Su Hailing shook his head and said helplessly.

"Even if the news is sent out, it won't take a day or two until the whole continent is in chaos," Mei Junhan reminded.

"It doesn't matter." Su Hailing shrugged, "Whoever gets the Linglong Golden Cauldron will become a target of public criticism from now on, and no one can rest in peace."

"You are the fox." Situ Ye pouted, looked at the sky and said, "It's almost time, we can go in."

"Well, are you sure it's just a formation and not poisonous?" Su Hailing stood up and confirmed again with concern.

"You've already been poisoned, why are you afraid of being poisoned!" Situ Ye kicked her impatiently, "Let's go!"

Su Hailing gave a wry smile, and suddenly he remembered that delicate and beautiful boy at the Fenghexuan banquet, he was as cute as a trembling little rabbit, how can he be so... um, damn it?
But after all, Situ Ye still took out a bottle of pills and gave each of them one.

"What's this?" Su Hailing stared at the black ball with a faint fishy smell in his palm with disgust.

"To avoid poison, you can choose not to eat it." Situ Ye said unhappily.

Su Hailing stuck out his tongue, swallowed the pill, frowned and said, "It's really unpalatable."

"You thought it was jelly beans?" Mei Junhan and Situ Ye also swallowed the medicine at the same time.

"No need." Mu Qingchen shook his head, but didn't reach out to take it.

"Are you afraid that I won't be able to poison you?" Situ Ye raised his eyebrows.

"I don't need it." Mu Qingchen said lightly.

"Even if you are a descendant of Qinglian, you may not be able to treat the poison of the evil doctor as if nothing happened." Situ Ye was aroused by his attitude, and his tone cooled down.

"Qingchen." Su Hailing said worriedly.

"It's really not necessary." Mu Qingchen ignored Situ Ye, but his voice warmed slightly when he met Su Hailing's gaze, "My body is invulnerable to all poisons, and there is no point in taking medicine."

No poison invades!Several people present couldn't help being shocked.

Situ Ye's eyes darkened, and he almost crushed the jade bottle in his hand.

And at this moment, there was a loud "bang" in the valley, shaking the ground as if shaking again...
