Chapter 148 The Place Where the Treasure Is Hidden, Meeting an Old Friend on the Road

"Zuo Chongshan."

Zhou You's eyes flashed slightly, holding the treasure map, feeling quite surprised.

Unexpectedly, the place recorded on the treasure map where Master Yuding hid the treasure was actually in Zuo Chongshan.

Where is Zuo Chongshan?

Within the Ye family's sphere of influence is also the former site of the Yin Shen Sect, and the forbidden area of ​​the Yin Shen Sect is in Zuo Chong Mountain.

According to Dan Yuanzi, the Marquis of Lin'an accidentally broke into Zuo Chongshan and entered the forbidden area of ​​the Yin Shen Sect. In the forbidden area, he obtained the Yin Shen Sect's cultivation method and sensed his hidden spiritual root.

Thus embarking on the path of spiritual practice.

Later, all the Yin Shen statues in the Yin Shen Sect's forbidden area were taken away from the forbidden area by the Marquis of Lin'an. Today, the forbidden area is empty. Almost all of them have been evacuated by the people of Lin'an Palace. Unexpectedly, the real person Yuding put the treasure in the forbidden area. Zuo Chongshan.

Zhou You took the map and compared it for a moment, determined the direction of Zuo Chongshan, and found that Zuo Chongshan was exactly on the way he left.

The original plan for this trip was to leave Lincheng from Hengshuifang City in the northeast of Taixuan Gate and enter Nanzhou.

Starting from near Taibai Academy, the fastest way to Hengshuifang City is through the spheres of influence of the Lin family and the Ye family.

Zuo Chongshan happened to be on the route planned before traveling around.

"Just in time to go take a look."

Zhou You put away the treasure map and map and said with twinkling eyes.

There must be a lot of good things in Master Yuding's treasure hiding place. If you can get the treasures inside, it will naturally be a very good choice for traveling around.

Nowadays, Zhou You possesses the two formation characteristics of "Proficient in Formation" and "Master of Formation". He is not afraid of Yuding's treasure trove, Zhou You.

Whether it is a formation or a restriction, Zhou You can easily break it.

"Xiao Jin, speed up, resolve the matter in Lincheng and leave as soon as possible."

Zhou You patted Jin Yudiao's head, gave instructions and sat cross-legged on Jin Yudiao's back.

The golden feathered eagle let out a scream, and its speed surged, heading towards Zuo Chongshan.

Seeing this, Lu Yunfeng did not dare to stand. He sat down behind Zhou You and said softly: "Your Majesty, the location of the jade tripod's treasure is actually in Zuo Chongshan?"

Zhou You nodded: "Are you still familiar with this place?"

Lu Yunfeng smiled awkwardly: "To be honest, Zuo Chongshan is the forbidden area of ​​Yin Shen Sect, and it is quite dangerous. I'm afraid it won't be safe for us to go there."

Zhou You said: "It doesn't matter, just run away if you are in danger."

Lu Yunfeng could only nod helplessly, and then began to introduce Zuo Chongshan to Zhou You.

Before Zhou You checked Lu Yunfeng's memories, he only checked some memories related to the Zhengqi Alliance. Zhou You did not check other memories.

After all, a person's memory is very large and complex, especially for a pill-forming monk like Lu Yunfeng. Hundreds of years of experience cannot be fully investigated in a short time.

Besides, Zhou You was not interested in those trivial memories of Lu Yunfeng's past.

Therefore, the matter about Zuo Chongshan was not investigated.

According to Lu Yunfeng's description, Zuo Chongshan is considered a forbidden place in Lincheng.

The yin energy inside is like clouds, and the miasma envelopes the entire Zuochong Mountain. The foundation-building monks must continue to use magic shields to resist the miasma when entering. Otherwise, once the miasma enters the body, their cultivation will be damaged and they will fall into the realm, or they will have inner demons. When the body dies, the Tao disappears.

As for the monks and mortals below the foundation level, they dare not go in. The miasma will almost kill them if they touch it.

This shows how terrifying Zuo Chongshan is.

It's no wonder that this place can be used as a forbidden area for the Yin Shen Sect.

More than a thousand years ago, the Yin Shen Sect was established on Zuo Chong Mountain. It was the purest demon sect with countless demons within it. It is unknown how many living people died on Zuo Chong Mountain. After those living people had their hearts and livers ripped out, mortals Their corpses piled up in the mountains, forming a horrific miasma over time.

Then the Yin Shen Sect was destroyed by the Taibai Sword Immortal, and the souls of all the Yin Shen Sect monks above the pill formation level were turned into ancestor souls and escaped into the forbidden area of ​​the Yin Shen Sect, only to survive.

More than five hundred years ago, the Marquis of Lin'an mistakenly entered the Yin Shen Sect's forbidden area, obtained the Yin Shen Sect's inheritance, and was able to embark on the path of cultivation.

Decades ago, Master Yuding was reused by the Marquis of Lin'an and began to layout in Lincheng, bringing out all the Yin Shen statues in the Yin Shen Sect's forbidden area for the Marquis of Lin'an's plan.

What I didn't expect was that a lot of mistakes happened in the middle.

There are many Yuanying stage ancestor souls hidden in the Yin God statue. Those ancestor souls can exist without the Yin God statue. Some Yuanying stage ancestor souls directly separated from the Yin God statue after leaving Zuo Chongshan.

Some of the first souls in the Nascent Soul stage continue to hide in the Yin Shen statue, disguised as the first souls in the Dan Formation stage, and choose the opportunity to escape.

As for how Master Yuding obtained the thing that controlled demons, Lu Yunfeng didn't know.

Zhou You had some guesses, and it should be related to the fact that Master Yuding was responsible for transporting the Yin God statue.

Zhou You didn't think much about it, nor did he think about how he must know how Master Yuding obtained the treasure that can control demons. For him, he only needed to get this object and other heavenly materials hidden by Master Yuding. Treasure is enough.

As for the rest, what does it have to do with traveling around?

This is like traveling around practicing "Yi Mu Ling Jue", but also wondering how this "Yi Mu Ling Jue" was created, or where did Taoist Master Heng Yun get it from? Isn't there something wrong with this?

Zhou You put his thoughts away, sat cross-legged on the Golden Feather Eagle, and began to practice silently.

Three hours passed in the blink of an eye.

The Golden Feather Eagle is extremely fast and has already passed through Taibai Academy and the Lin family's sphere of influence, and entered the Ye family's sphere of influence.

Along the way, I also met many monks.

There are those from the Lin family, as well as those from the Zhengqi Alliance and the Ye family.

But the wandering consciousness is powerful and can predict it in advance, so it is easy to avoid it.

Soon they arrived at the outskirts of Zuo Chong Mountain, and the Golden Feathered Eagle stopped.

Zhou You raised his eyes and looked at Zuo Chongshan, which was shrouded in endless miasma in the distance, with a dull look.

Zuochong Mountain stretches for three hundred miles, and there are countless strange and precipitous peaks in it. Among them, there are seven main peaks, all of which are over a thousand feet high, and they are all hidden in the endless miasma.

Even if the traveling divine consciousness swept over, it could only see a range of more than ten miles and could not go further.

Obviously, this miasma also has a certain hindering effect on spiritual consciousness.

It was weakened ten times.

Even according to what Lu Yunfeng said, there is a forbidden air formation in Zuo Chongshan. Only those in the Nascent Soul Stage can ignore this formation and fly over Zuo Chongshan. The rest can only walk into the mountain honestly.

In other words, those miasmas cannot be circumvented.

Zhou You has already memorized the route of the treasure map, and he can spot the entrance at a glance. As long as he follows the entrance shown on the treasure map and enters Zuo Chong Mountain, he can find the treasure place of Master Yuding.

Zhou You didn't hesitate. With a wave of his hand, he put the golden feathered eagle into the spirit beast bag and called Dahuang out.

After all, Rhubarb is now a second-level mid-level spiritual beast, and its treasure hunting function is extremely powerful.

There must be many treasures in a dangerous place like Zuo Chongshan, and maybe Rhubarb can come in handy.

Dahuang's eyes were still a little blurry, and he didn't seem to have sobered up.

"Silly dog, have you recovered?"

Zhou You shouted.

Dahuang shook his head and quickly "woofed" twice to indicate that he had sobered up.

Zhou You patted Dahuang on the head, then turned into a long rainbow and escaped into the jungle below, preparing to enter Zuochong Mountain with Dahuang and Lu Yunfeng.

As soon as he approached Zuo Chong Mountain, Zhou You felt the strong Yin Qi. The entire jungle was full of jagged rocks, ancient trees like monsters, and the trees grew extremely twisted, and the gloomy atmosphere hit his face.

There are several bones not far ahead.

"Woof woof——"

Dahuang barked several times at the white bones, his eyes full of vigilance.

Zhou You kicked it: "Don't scream nonsense."

After saying that, Zhou You went to Zuochong Mountain.

Lu Yunfeng and Dahuang followed Zhou You obediently.

However, Zhou You had just taken a few steps when he raised his eyebrows and heard an angry shout: "Zhang Lei, there is no way forward. If you don't want to die, hurry up and capture him!"

Immediately afterwards, several rainbows came rapidly towards this direction.

Zhou You looked up and saw four rainbows chasing one rainbow. The person in front was in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and the people behind him were in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and the two were in the late stage of Foundation Establishment!

"It's actually Zhang Lei?"

Zhou You raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that the person being hunted turned out to be Zhang Lei from Taibai Academy.

In the world of immortality, the drama of monks chasing and killing monks happens every day. This kind of thing is not uncommon. But what Zhou You didn't expect was that the person being chased turned out to be Zhang Lei?

Zhou You and Zhang Lei are quite familiar with each other.

And Zhou You has a great liking for Zhang Lei.

He carefully looked at the situation in front of him. If Zhang Lei was really in danger, Zhou You would not hesitate to help.

now.

Zhang Lei did not stop for a moment, nor did he think about landing, but flew straight towards Zuo Chongshan.

"How many bastards want Zhang to surrender without a fight? That's ridiculous! If you don't kill me today, I will definitely kill all of you evil cultivators in the future!"

Zhang Lei's voice was sonorous and extremely firm.

One of the people who were chasing him sneered: "You dare to be so arrogant when death is imminent, you will definitely not be able to leave alive today!"

Without saying a word, a flying sword rushed out and struck Zhang Lei instantly.

Zhang Lei dodged, dodged the attack of the flying sword, and continued to escape.

But at this moment, Zhang Lei's expression changed, his body fell uncontrollably, and he fell into the jungle instantly.

The faces of the pursuing monks changed slightly when they saw this, and they quickly stopped and looked at the miasma ahead vigilantly.

"This is Zuo Chongshan. There is a forbidden air formation. We must be careful and go down first."

A middle-aged late-stage foundation-building monk with long, narrow eyes and thin lips looked wary, then took the lead and turned into a rainbow, landing quickly.

The other three people also landed closely behind the thin-lipped middle-aged monk.

After they landed, they immediately saw Zhou You and Lu Yunfeng standing next to them.

Since Lu Yunfeng's whole body was covered by a cloak, they couldn't see who Lu Yunfeng was.

"Brother Zhao, there are two monks here, what should we do?"

A monk in the middle stage of foundation building looked at the leading thin-lipped monk and said.

The thin-lipped monk surnamed Zhao looked at Zhou You, and seemed to have discovered Zhou You's cultivation in the later stage of foundation building. He couldn't help but frown, and then raised his hand: "This fellow Taoist, Zhao Wujie of the Righteous Alliance, is chasing down the monks of Taibai Academy. , please lend me the way."

At this moment, Zhou You was standing at the only entrance to Zuochong Mountain, surrounded by other ancient trees, making it difficult to pass.

Therefore, the monk surnamed Zhao said this.

Zhou You glanced at the man and silently moved out of the way with Lu Yunfeng.

A hint of gloom flashed in the eyes of the monk surnamed Zhao, but he didn't say anything more and rushed towards the interior of Zuo Chongshan.

However, at this moment, Zhang Lei's voice rang out from Zuo Chongshan.

"Fellow Taoist, be careful. Zhao Wujie is cunning and cunning. He is very good at close combat. He is an individual cultivator. You must not let him get close!"

Zhang Lei rushed out from Zuo Chongshan and spoke to remind Zhou You.

Obviously, Zhang Lei did not recognize Zhou You for a while.

After all, the last time Zhang Lei saw Zhou You was more than ten years ago.

At that time, Zhou You was just a young monk at the first level of Qi training in his eyes, and naturally he would not associate him with the current monks at the late stage of foundation building.

But out of good intentions, Zhang Lei did not rush to escape, but came forward to remind Zhou You.

After Zhou You heard this, he didn't make any move and still stood where he was.

When Zhao Wujie heard this, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he raised his hand to grab Zhou You.

At the same time, he shouted: "Do it!"

The three foundation-building monks behind Zhao Wujie started attacking Zhou You one after another.

Obviously, Zhao Wujie's plan was to pretend to use the road, and then suddenly take action when Zhou You relaxed his vigilance and approached Zhou You.

If it were an ordinary late-stage foundation-building monk, it would be impossible to resist an attack when faced with a close physical attack, let alone a sudden attack.

That's almost a surefire hit.

This shows the insidiousness of Zhao Wujie.

Zhao Wujie was extremely fast. He was only about ten feet away from Zhou You, but now with all his strength, he was in front of Zhou You almost instantly.

"Ouch——"

Zhao Wujie's right hand changed in vain, as if it had turned into a big white tiger hand, possessing great power.

This is Zhao Wujie's spiritual technique.

at the same time.

Several other monks each took out their spiritual weapons and threw them at Lu Yunfeng.

They have a clear division of labor.

Zhao Wujie attacked Zhou You, and the other three attacked Lu Yunfeng, in an attempt to resolve the battle in the shortest possible time.

But in the face of such attacks, Zhou You seemed to have no reaction and still looked at Zhao Wujie indifferently.

"Fellow Taoist, get out of here!"

Zhang Lei shouted again, trying to get Zhou You to get away.

Unfortunately, Zhou You still stood motionless.

When Zhao Wujie saw this, he raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a cruel smile.

He seemed to see the other person's heart being crushed by him!

At such a close range, even if the opponent is at Foundation Establishment Perfection, it is impossible to block his attack.

Can……

At this moment, a figure wearing black clothes and a cloak appeared in front of Zhou You.

It was Lu Yunfeng who was standing next to Zhou You.

The moment Lu Yunfeng appeared, he raised his hand and a flash of fire appeared.

The breath of terror burst out!

The huge pressure caused Zhao Wujie and the other three foundation-building monks to change their expressions and look at Lu Yunfeng in horror.

"Copyright monk!"

Zhao Wujie exclaimed, his palm falling on the fire, unable to shake the fire at all.

In just a moment, a loud roar came from the fire.

In an instant, the fire turned into a fire python, covering Zhao Wujie and sweeping him away!

"puff--"

Zhao Wujie's whole body ignited with raging flames and turned into a burning man, his limbs kept beating and he let out a shrill scream.

But no matter how hard he struggled, the flames were like gangrene attached to his bones and could not be extinguished at all.

Lu Yunfeng raised his hand, grabbed Zhao Wujie's storage bag, put out the flames on it, and then looked at the other three people.

Seeing this scene, the three monks from the Righteous Alliance trembled all over, with fear on their faces, and kept retreating.

Especially when he saw Lu Yunfeng looking over, he was so frightened that he threw the spiritual weapon on the ground, quickly knelt on the ground, and shouted in horror: "Senior, have mercy on me, senior, have mercy on me!"

They didn't even think about escaping.

Because they know that the foundation-building monks can only have a chance of survival in front of the pill-forming monks by begging the other party to show mercy.

escape?

It's simply not realistic.

Zhang Lei stared at this scene blankly, his eyes full of shock.

He didn't expect that one of these two seemingly low-key monks was actually a pill-forming monk!

Moreover, this pill-forming monk seemed to be just the bodyguard of the young monk!

Who is that young monk?

Zhang Lei looked at Zhou You and suddenly found that Zhou You's face was a bit familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

It’s no wonder Zhang Lei couldn’t remember.

He had only met Zhou You a few times, and Zhou You had just started practicing at that time. His complexion was sallow and dull, and he was wearing coarse linen clothes. Compared with now, his image was completely different.

It was normal for Zhang Lei not to associate Zhou You with the servant of the Xiao family for a while.

And at this moment.

Lu Yunfeng looked at Zhou You with a questioning look on his face: "Your Majesty, how should we deal with these people?"

Zhou You said calmly: "People from the Righteous Alliance should be killed."

"As commanded."

Lu Yunfeng nodded, raised his hand without hesitation, and three rays of fire rushed out, rushing towards the three foundation-building monks of the Righteous Alliance.

The expressions of the three foundation-building monks changed drastically, and they retreated without hesitation, wanting to escape.

But the fire was extremely fast and caught up with the three people in an instant.

The three people were fluttering wildly in the jungle, their limbs constantly beating on the fire on their bodies, trying to put out the flames, but it was all in vain.

Lu Yunfeng raised his hand and grabbed the storage bags, extinguished the flames on them, and handed the storage bags to Zhou You.

Zhou You's expression didn't change and he put away the storage bag as if nothing had happened.

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Wujie and the other four foundation-building monks fell to the ground, turned into four withered bones, and died completely.

These four people were just foundation-building monks, and their corpses were of little use to Zhou You. Even if they were refined into refined corpses, they would not be of much use, so they were burned and burned. Zhou You didn't feel bad.

After Zhou You put away the storage bag, he looked at Zhang Lei.

Zhang Lei finally came to his senses and hurriedly raised his hands and said, "I am Zhang Lei from the Law Enforcement Court of Taibai Academy. I have met fellow Taoists and seniors."

After a pause, Zhang Lei continued: "Thank you both for your help in eradicating the evil cultivators of the Righteous Alliance and doing harm to the people."

Lu Yunfeng couldn't help but twitched his face after hearing this.

He is also a member of the Righteous Alliance, and when he heard these words, he had the urge to slap someone.

Zhou You said, "It's just a matter of hands."

After listening to Zhou You's words, Zhang Lei couldn't help but feel helpless. For Zhou You, it was easy to deal with these people, but for him, he almost lost his life.

However, the more Zhang Lei looked at Zhou You's face, the more familiar he felt, and a figure appeared in his mind.
