Chapter 39

In early October, a mountain gate stood on the hillside of Danxia Mountain, and the huge plaque "Heavenly Travel Sword Sect" on the mountain gate was shining brightly. The "Shen Family Firm" that had changed its name and surname and was hiding was history in less than a month.

The buildings on the mountain were re-planned, imitating the original Heavenly Travel Sword Sect model, dividing various halls, scripture libraries, and various trials. Sword qi crisscrossed on the mountain, and finally began to have the shadow of a Sword Sect.

The place where the geothermal fire is most prosperous was divided into the Sword Casting Hall. The Sword Casting Hall Master has begun to refine fifth-grade flying swords—there are quite a few forging materials stored in the Danxia Gang's warehouse. The accumulation of a local gang for so many years is quite good... In fact, Shen Tang paid a lot of money to Liu Yan'er to take this down.

I just don't know if Liu Yan'er can keep it with her IQ.

Money is a small matter, such a gang foundation is really too convenient, a resurrected Sword Sect is visibly taking shape.

The medicinal herbs that were originally planted all over the mountain were shoveled because of the Cold Crystal Grass planted a few days ago. It was not planted for a while, and it was convenient this time. The new ones don't need to be planted directly, and the territory is divided for the halls of the Sword Sect. Only a large medicine garden is reserved, which is still managed by the disciples who originally planted it for the Danxia Gang. All the original alchemy apprentices moved to live nearby and became the Alchemy Hall of the Sword Sect, only responsible for the sect's own use.

Lu Xingzhou theoretically has no sect position, just a guest official, but in fact, the people in the Alchemy Hall report everything to him, and he is simply a hall master.

Oh, not a hall master, he didn't even receive a salary as a guest elder, but he could use the warehouse at will, taking whatever he wanted.

People in the Heavenly Travel Sword Sect felt that this was not very good, and always felt that this was not like a guest elder... But they couldn't say anything, because their Sect Master reported matters to Elder Lu more diligently than the disciples of the Alchemy Hall, and even the planning of each hall was based on his opinions.

Uncle Zhong and others complained privately, saying that if you want to give Lu Xingzhou a definition, what kind of guest official is he, he is clearly like the Sect Master's wife...

The wife doesn't even live on Danxia Mountain, he lives on the back mountain of the Huo residence, built a bamboo house himself and lived with A Nuo, and the Sect Master still runs there every day.

Dugu Qingli pushes the wheelchair up and down the mountain every day, it's so far, her face is blue.

In fact, when no one was looking, Shen Tang was already trying to walk by herself. From needing Dugu Qingli's support at the beginning to not needing it, it took only three days.

"Your foundation is really good, the recovery is much faster than I expected." Lu Xingzhou looked at Shen Tang walking away from the wheelchair, and rarely showed a little jealousy in his eyes. His own tendon reconnection had just improved a little, and the others were far behind.

Shen Tang stood in front of him and bowed slightly: "It is because you have been refining medicines for strengthening tendons and bones to assist me recently. Relying on myself alone, it is impossible to be so fast."

Lu Xingzhou didn't speak.

The two met these days, the atmosphere was awkwardly difficult to describe, Shen Tang almost didn't dare to see him alone, she had to bring the little white hair with her, and Lu Xingzhou didn't dare to send A Nuo to buy soy sauce, he had to squat on the side.

The two looked at each other inadvertently, and quickly turned their eyes away.

That wheelchair play that day was still too advanced...

Looking at this dialogue now, it's actually polite... Dugu Qingli felt that there was a pit in her brain, the Imperial Supreme World-Shocking Scripture is really not a good practice.

She really didn't want to listen to these two fake politeness, and couldn't help but interrupt: "Why do you want to live on this mountain? How inconvenient."

Lu Xingzhou said: "There is geothermal fire on the Danxia Mountain side, but there is none here. It was circled by the Huo family as an ordinary back mountain... I feel that since it is dragon and tiger embrace, there is fire there, and there should be its specialty here, which needs research."

"Then what results have you researched these days?"

"Theoretically, it should be water and fire both benefiting, and there are indeed better scenery with clear streams and springs here, but I feel it's not enough." Lu Xingzhou asked back: "These days, let you arrange manpower to observe the sunrise at different positions, what is the result?"

Shen Tang said: "It's a coincidence that when we look at the sunrise from the highest building of our previous firm, the sun rises just like an elixir jumping out from between the mountain col of the two mountains. It shows that many years ago, the Huo family built a house in that position for a reason, but later found it useless, so they abandoned it to Liu Qingcang."

Lu Xingzhou's face became very ugly: "That is to say, Liu Qingcang was actually responsible for observing the changes in the mountain for the Huo family in his early years."

"Should be."

Lu Xingzhou closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "He died early!"

The two were confused for a moment and looked at him blankly.

"Forget it, he's dead, and I'm not so bored to whip a corpse." Lu Xingzhou didn't explain this, and said: "Although this terrain is not man-made, it must have been used by an extremely powerful immortal to refine alchemy. The alchemy furnace was originally hidden in the mountain col, and later I don't know what happened and jumped out. That is to say, the spiritual energy of this place was absorbed by this person's alchemy, and it degenerated into the thin state it is today, causing Xiazhou to be downgraded."

Shen Tang felt a shock in her heart: "Absorbed a city's earth veins, causing Xiazhou to be downgraded..."

"Hmm... The Huo family got the alchemy furnace and thought there was no secret, but I don't think so. Reasonably speaking, before this person laid out the layout, the terrain here itself contained great creation, so it would be chosen by him, right?"

Shen Tang pondered for a moment and nodded: "Right."

Lu Xingzhou said decisively: "So if you break it down, this is actually two things. This person's layout must have also caused a covering effect. If I'm not mistaken, it is very likely that an immortal secret realm is hidden here!"

Shen Tang and Dugu Qingli looked at each other. If there is a secret realm, the grade of this secret realm might be very high.

Lu Xingzhou patted the wheelchair armrest and whispered to himself: "Sacrificing with mountains and rivers, refining the elixir of the sun and moon... I don't know who this is, what a great spirit... But where did he go, why did he not react when the alchemy furnace was taken away?"

Of course, no one could answer this question.

Dugu Qingli considered for a while and said very cautiously: "If it is a covering set by a character of this level, we can't crack it with our ability. Either I send a letter to Master and let Master guide us."

Lu Xingzhou didn't speak. Actually, he didn't really want the Holy Land to participate in this matter, because once the Holy Land has an intention, the thing is mostly not his share. But Dugu Qingli is right, if it is a prohibition set by a character of this level, everyone's ability might not be able to solve it... Not to mention that even if it is solved, will there be any dangers that everyone can't handle?

Can't solve it, can't give it to the Holy Land... Lu Xingzhou frowned and pondered, Yuan Muyu's pretty face flashed in his heart.

Look for her?

Just hesitating, he heard Shen Tang say: "Don't ask your Master for the time being, let's try to crack it ourselves, if it doesn't work, then talk about it."

Dugu Qingli seemed to see their thoughts and nodded. In fact, she wanted to ask Master, but the purpose was to help Lu Xingzhou. If it is for personal training, obviously there is no reason to ask Master for everything.

For personal training, cracking such a puzzle is a very valuable cultivation experience, and Dugu Qingli also wants to try it, so she said: "Then how about we try to set up an illusion-breaking array between the two mountains?"

Lu Xingzhou pondered: "Analyzing from the ancestor's motto, if an array is needed to solve it, then the array eye is likely to have nothing to do with the mountain itself. That observation point where you can see the sunrise like an elixir is more likely to be the real eye, otherwise the motto would have no meaning."

Everyone's heart moved: "Reasonable. The Huo family couldn't find the catty, it's likely because they put their minds on the mountains."

"The array eye and the entrance may be two different things, the entrance is more likely to be in the center of the dragon and tiger embrace mountain col." Lu Xingzhou continued: "Therefore, we need two arrays, one is a spirit-gathering array, gathering a large amount of spiritual energy to the array eye, so that it can 'open the lock'; the second is an illusion-breaking array, set between the two mountains. As for whether our array power is enough, that is another matter, it's always fine to try first."

Both women nodded, this assumption is very reasonable. It is precisely because it is complex and misleading that the Huo family has no harvest.

"In addition, just these must be missing conditions... It is impossible for me to be the only one in the world who can think of these. The Huo family has not only produced fools for so many years, but there is still no harvest, it must be missing conditions... I think it is possible that it is the water element problem of this back mountain, there should not be only ordinary clear springs here. Corresponding to the Danxia geothermal fire, there should be a spiritual spring or spiritual pool here."

Both women looked at him blankly, is it our heritage or you...

A Nuo sat on the side eating sweet potatoes, not surprised at all.

The situation of mountains and rivers, the way of arrays, Sister Yu is so powerful. I don't know where she got the inheritance, in short, she should not be a lone little demon girl, I don't know why she would "run away from home" and start from scratch to build her own power.

But these things, knowledge is one thing, and being smart enough to solve puzzles is another. Master is naturally very smart, although not as good as A Nuo.

Lu Xingzhou rolled his wheelchair to the door and looked at the layered clouds accumulated in the sky: "This weather, it's going to snow."

Shen Tang walked to his side and said softly: "Today is the beginning of winter."

"Li, build the beginning; winter, end also, all things are collected." Lu Xingzhou muttered: "You say, is the return of the spiritual spring related to the season?"

Shen Tang was shocked, and Dugu Qingli shivered.

It is indeed possible. If it is an array set by an ordinary monk, perhaps one shouldn't think about the season level, but since it is judged to be related to immortals, the possibility of involving the season is very high.

Just using the terrain, without the interaction of heaven and earth, what kind of immortal are you talking about?

Since it is the return of the beginning of winter, it must be easier to find clues if you solve it on the day of the beginning of winter.

Saying it is difficult to solve, but under Lu Xingzhou's words, the secret of this mountain seems to be about to be unveiled.
