Phoenix Shadow Coming From the Sky: Nine, Haotian is not beneficial 3

September 27th.

Feng Duying and his party arrived in Qingzhou, but she only stayed in Qingzhou for half a day. After ordering two thousand "Thunder Riders", she went straight to Jiecheng, the southernmost part of Qingzhou.

Two days later, Feng Duying arrived in Jiecheng.

Yin Anjing of Jiecheng Mansion said that he asked the imperial capital to send a capable general to suppress the bandits, but he never expected that the one he sent would be the famous General Fengying, so he was flattered and hurried out of the city to meet this distinguished guest from the imperial capital in person .

After Feng Duying arrived at Jiecheng Mansion, he immediately ordered An Jing to find several elderly people in their 70s to 100 years old.

Although An Jing was puzzled, he did not obey her orders, so he hurriedly sent people to search for them. Sure enough, they found four old people that day, the youngest was seventy-eight years old, and the oldest was ninety-five years old.

Invited the four old people to the government office, and Feng Duying personally met them. After drinking a round of tea, she asked the old people if they knew anything about Mount Jiuluo, and they could say anything.

Most of the old people said the same thing. They only said that the ancestors said that Jiuluo Mountain is forbidden for people to enter. As for why they cannot enter, there are many theories.

Only the ninety-five-year-old man said something slightly different. He said that he had heard from his parents that his grandfather was a ginseng picker who gathered ginseng in Jiuluo Mountain all the year round, but more than a hundred years ago, one day suddenly, whether it was hunting, ginseng gathering, firewood chopping... …When I entered the mountain, it was like a ghost hitting a wall. I turned around and couldn’t enter the mountain. They all thought that there was something dirty in the mountain, so they invited monks and warlocks to do magic tricks, but it was useless, and they still couldn't get in. Occasionally, one or two people could get in, but they never came back. As a result, the people near Jiuluo Mountain did not dare to enter the mountain, and Jiuluo Mountain became a barren mountain without people.

Feng Duying glanced at Fu Yin after hearing this. An Jing couldn't help but shudder, but he is not from the local area, and he was transferred from Youzhou Mansion to the governor of Jiecheng Mansion in June this year, so he would not be able to enter Jiuluo Mountain.

After seeing off several old people, Feng Duying thought silently. Judging from the "Mashu" floating down from Mount Jiuluo and the words of these old people, it can be deduced that the bandit trouble entrenched in Mount Jiuluo is "King Jiuluo". They have been able to occupy Jiuluo Mountain for more than a hundred years, which is enough to show that the bandits who looted and looted are unusual. Those who have entered the mountain for so many years have never returned, either killed by them or imprisoned by them; Those who cannot enter the mountain must have organs or formations in the mountain. Ordinary people don't know these and just think it's ghosts. After thinking about it, she decided to leave Lei Dongqi in Jiecheng for a while, and she led Du Kang and a hundred soldiers to Jiuluo Mountain to investigate the situation first, otherwise she would risk making mistakes by leading troops into the mountain.

So on October 2nd, Feng Duying, Du Kang and a hundred soldiers left Jiecheng, and after running for more than an hour, they arrived at the foot of Mount Jiuluo.

Looking at the towering mountain in front of you, under the bright autumn sun, the trees all over the mountain are green and golden, which looks incomparably magnificent and majestic, not like ghosts and monsters. They rested for a while, then left their horses at the foot of the mountain and hiked up the mountain, but when they stepped into the woods, a bone-piercing chill hit them. It was clearly not yet winter, but it was as cold as deep winter, and all the hundred soldiers were beaten. He shivered, and the armor on his body tinkled because of the trembling.

Feng Duying stopped immediately. She and Du Kang have deep internal strength, so they are not afraid of the cold, but these hundred soldiers are elite soldiers selected by the Phoenix Shadow Rider, they are all experienced in hundreds of battles, and they will never be able to follow her through the wind, frost, snow and rain. I couldn't help shivering because of the cold.

It seems that this Jiuluo Mountain is not simple.

She immediately ordered a hundred soldiers to return to the place where the horses were placed and wait. She and Du Kang went up the mountain to have a look. Although the soldiers did not dare to disobey their orders, the expressions on their faces clearly showed that they did not want the general to take risks and stayed at the foot of the mountain by themselves.

"General, let me go with you." The leader of the soldiers, the centurion, said.

Feng Duying shook his head, "If there is any danger in the mountain, you will be restrained if you follow." She and Du Kang have the same kung fu and can come and go freely among thousands of troops. But time is enough to save yourself and escape.

After hearing her words, the soldiers naturally had no objections.

Feng Duying glanced at the mysterious dense forest in front of him, and added: "In case...we didn't come out and send a signal before dark, you must never go into the mountains to find each other, and report to the imperial capital immediately." She Looking back at the centurion, his voice was like a stone, "This is the general's order!"

"Yes!" The centurion took the order and went out of the mountain with all the soldiers to wait.

Feng Duying and Du Kang continued to go up the mountain. Along the way, weeds were knee-high, and there were towering old trees everywhere, with luxuriant branches and leaves, covering the sky, so that the light was very dim, and there were soft and thick rotting leaves under their feet. , without a trace.

The two walked for about two minutes, Feng Duying stopped suddenly, Du Kang naturally also stopped.

Although the light in the woods is dim, she can see clearly after she gets used to it for a long time, not to mention that it is very common to see things in the dark with the wind alone shadow skill, so this piece of trees is invisible to her eyes. After looking at it for a while, she said: "It seems that the 'monsters' in this mountain also know the art of dungeon armor."

Du Kang looked at her.

Feng Duying walked ten steps forward, then stopped, looked ahead, carefully inspected the left and right, and said after a while: "Sure enough, these trees are arranged according to the nine stars, eight gates and all directions of the 'Misty Array'. Each tree is several feet thick, and it is obvious that the trees are more than a hundred years old. Then this "Misty Array" was lined up when these trees were planted a hundred years ago. The mountains are all in this 'Misty Formation', no wonder no one can enter the mountains, ordinary people don't know Qimen Dunjia, naturally they come and go."

"Is this formation powerful?" Du Kang asked.

"No one has been able to enter for more than a hundred years, do you think it's amazing?" Feng Duying's phoenix eyes shone brightly, which was the excitement when meeting a powerful opponent.

When Du Kang heard this, he said: "Then let's go find someone who is proficient in Qimen Dunjia."

Feng Duying shook his head, his lips curled slightly, "No one in the world can surpass Mr. Yu in Qimen Dunjia. I learned from him. Although he is not as proficient as the third and fourth brothers, he must It is not difficult to enter Jiuluo Mountain."

Du Kang only cared about her safety, and after following her for many years, he naturally knew what she was capable of, so seeing how confident she was, he stopped talking now.

"After entering the battle, no matter what you see or hear, don't react, just follow my footsteps." Feng Duying told her.

Du Kang nodded.

"Let's go then." Feng Duying stepped forward.

Du Kang followed, and as soon as he walked into the formation, he felt that the surrounding trees seemed to move by themselves, and they changed positions in an instant, what he saw just now was completely different from what he saw in front of him. He immediately restrained his thoughts and walked step by step in the footsteps of Feng Duying in front of him. I saw her walking a few steps to the left at one moment, one step forward at another, and several steps back at another moment, her walking was very disorganized, if she hadn't told her before, Du Kang would probably go wrong and lose it . Just like that, as if he was walking in a daze, he also bumped into some carrion corpses along the way, obviously those people who never went back after entering the mountain. After about four quarters, Feng Duying whispered in his ear, "Yes, the gate of life is here." Then he felt a tightness in his shoulders, and then his body flew into the air, but she was lifted and jumped over. After reaching the ground for a few feet, I felt my whole body relax, the stale and stench in my breath was no longer there, and the freshness of the grass and trees permeated my spleen and lungs, and I instantly felt refreshed.

Feng Duying looked back at the woods he had just walked through, "This mountain is so big and this area is so wide, year after year, there will probably be as many dead souls as under my sword."

Du Kang was silent.

"Let's go." Feng Duying turned around.

The two continued to go up the mountain, but the road was covered with bushes and thorns, making it almost impossible to move an inch. The two had to draw out their swords and split a road. After doing this for about a moment, they finally passed through the area The bramble forest reached an open place, and before they had time to breathe a sigh of relief, they suddenly heard wild beasts roaring in their ears, and smelled a strong fishy smell in their noses, the two became alert and stopped. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, many herds of beasts suddenly came out of the dense forest in all directions, lions, tigers, leopards, jackals... there were no fewer than hundreds of them, and they only stared at the two of them, growling ferociously.

"Heh..." Feng Duying chuckled, "If someone is lucky enough to walk out of the 'Mistying Formation', they will not be able to escape..." Before she finished speaking, those ferocious beasts had already charged towards the two of them. The two jumped up the tall tree with all their strength, and the wild beast immediately flew into the air, and then looked up at the two people on the tree one by one, and then climbed up the tree again, moving swiftly. The two rushed to other trees, the wild beasts on the ground and the trees were chasing after them, they used the high tree as a point to leap forward in mid-air, their speed was like the wind, no matter how fast the wild beasts were, they couldn't catch up.

After leaping for about two moments, the roar of the wild beast could no longer be heard, and the two of them stopped. Although they had strong skills, they also felt a little short of breath when they landed.

After a short rest, Du Kang looked at Feng Duying.

"It's not surprising to meet a few tigers and lions in the deep mountains and old forests, but it's strange to meet such a large group. It must be driven by something." Let's see where the 'ghost' has such magical powers!"

Going further up, the mountain is steep, and the two of them are careful every step of the way. As we walked, fog suddenly appeared in the mountains. It was thin at first, but we could see things within a ten feet clearly, but it gradually became thicker and thicker. In the end, we could see a vast expanse of whiteness. Can't see each other clearly. Fortunately, the two have sharp eyes and ears and have a tacit understanding after getting along for a long time, so they will not get lost.

When Feng Duying felt that the thick fog was a bit strange, she suddenly saw Fengji coming through the clouds and fog in front of her. She was pleasantly surprised and couldn't help taking a few steps forward. Another person appeared, but it was Feng Guanxia's unparalleled beauty Qu Shang. She stared blankly, unable to believe it, thinking that this must be a hallucination, she hurriedly closed her eyes to concentrate. But what she saw just now was something she couldn't admit but was deeply terrified. For a moment, she felt like falling into an ice cellar, her body was cold, her heart was trembling, her mind was floating, and she couldn't help but open her eyes again to confirm. The two held hands and smiled at her, then turned around and flew above the white mist like a fairy. She felt a pain in her heart, her mind was in a state of confusion, and she flew after her involuntarily. In an instant, her feet were empty, and her figure fell sharply, while Fengji and Qu Shang flew higher and higher, farther and farther, and went straight to the nine heavens.

"Fourth brother!" She called out loudly, panicked and mournful.

"Master! General!" Du Kang followed the sound and rushed towards Feng Duying.

In the thick white mist, two figures flashed away.

At that time, on the top of Jiuluo Mountain, Jiu Miao, who was sitting in meditation in a private room, had ripples in his clear heart lake, and a blue spirit mark appeared on the center of his brow, and then disappeared suddenly.

At that time, Jiuyao was saying to his second sister-in-law and former fiancée: "Jiujiu, I met a woman at the foot of the mountain. She is taller and slimmer than you, with whiter skin and thinner hair than you." You are darker, your eyes are brighter than yours, your eyebrows are longer than yours, your nose is straighter than yours, your momentum is stronger than yours, your martial arts are stronger than yours, your reputation is louder than yours... In short, she is ten times stronger than you in everything."

"Then is she willing to marry you?" Jiu Jiu asked with a five-month-old belly.

His Highness Jiuyao was dejected, "She has a sweetheart."

"Then why are you showing off?" Jiu Jiu snorted.
