Chapter 49: The Evil Spirit of Qiling Town

The fact that the young master of Lingjian Mountain went to the Chen family to ask questions about the mountain was a big event in the Qingyun world, and the news spread far and wide in a blink of an eye.

There is something strange about it, so naturally someone will ponder it carefully.

Especially for the Wendao Sect, their disciples had gone to pay public congratulations, but they did not see the person. As a result, the person appeared in the Chen family's immortal clan in the blink of an eye, making their situation a little awkward.

On a huge flying sword heading to Zhongzhou, a group of disciples from the Tianshu Academy who were sent to the ruins were also thinking about this matter.

Only Ji You, who was sitting in front of the sword, was training his spiritual power and did not get involved.

"Brother Ji, do you know the young master of Lingjian Mountain?"

"It is said that she is extremely beautiful and has an amazing talent for cultivation. She has already been confirmed as the next generation headmaster of Lingjian Mountain."

Bai Rulong sat at the tail of the flying sword and couldn't help but look at Ji You who was carrying seven long swords.

As the eldest son of the Bai family, his luck seemed to have been taken away by his second brother. After refusing the elixir sent from home, he was included in the list of people to explore the ruins. It was not known whether it was because he was not welcomed by the family or for some other reason.

However, he obviously did not have the opportunity to get a place in the inner courtyard, so he was not too resistant to coming out for a walk.

As for the possible dangers...

It’s okay, just protect Brother Ji in front of you.

Ji You opened his eyes slightly at this time, and when he asked him if he had heard of Yan Shuyi, he shook his head calmly, but could not help rubbing the green jade gourd around his waist.

He didn't know how powerful the little judge of Lingjian Mountain was. He only knew that she loved to kick people and her feet were very white and tender.

At the same time, the disciples around couldn't help but turn their heads, and the topic of their whispers turned to Chu He and Du Zhu.

When they set out on this journey, they saw Chu He and Du Zhu standing side by side in front of the mountain gate, with a smile on their face.

Those standing behind him are all children of prominent families.

However, the only candidate originally chosen for the inner courtyard has now been driven out of the Tianshu Academy, and his future is as uncertain as those of the down-and-out aristocratic families.

In the eyes of everyone, even if they could return safely, Ji You would no longer have the chance to enter the inner courtyard.

While this discussion was going on, Ban Yangshu, who was sitting in the front, suddenly stood up.

He had not made any progress in the inner courtyard for many years, so naturally he became one of the people on the list.

At this moment, his face looked serious and he kept looking down at the flying sword.

The outer courtyard disciples behind him also leaned forward upon seeing this. Even Ji You couldn't help but look over, his expression instantly becoming serious.

The Qiling Mountains are located in the southeast of Zhongzhou. Because of the ruins and evil species there, no towns were built here at first.

But as the Hongshan Mine was excavated nearby, a town built by miners began to appear here, guarded by disciples of the Tianshu Academy, and there were also some branches of the family here.

The ancient ruins are filled with evil spirits, but they are basically only surrounding Qiling Mountain.

But at this time, the evil spirit of the ancient ruins had spread throughout the mountains and forests, and even the previously set foothold had become gray in sight.

Ban Yangshu did not dare to hastily order his men to drop the flying sword, but instead took out the communication card and contacted the first group of inner courtyard disciples who had arrived.

"Senior Sister Wen, where are you now?"

"Ban Yangshu?"

"It's me."

"We are in the town, you can land at the designated location."

As the communication fairy light dissipated, Ban Yangshu ordered his disciples who were controlling the flying swords with spiritual energy to land.

As the flying sword got closer and closer to the ground, a quiet town appeared in front of everyone. But when they looked up again, the sky was dark.

A group of more than ten people landed from the flying swords and walked into the town. They saw a group of ragged women and children kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to the immortal cultivators passing by and howling in the local dialect.

Next to Qiling is the Hongshan Mine. As the evil seeds emerged from the mountain, the entire mine was surrounded.

Their men were trapped inside, and they were powerless to do anything. They could only take out all their belongings, put the silver they got on the road, and pray to the immortals for help.

Ji You looked at the silver in front of them for a long time, unable to take his eyes away.

But soon, the disciples of Tianshu Academy who arrived earlier appeared at the entrance of the town and came to greet them. Everyone's expression was very solemn.

The one walking in the front is Wen Zhengxin, a female disciple from the inner courtyard, and the leader of this operation.

Although she entered the hospital later than Ban Yangshu, her talent for cultivation is extremely fast and she has now entered the realm of Rong Dao. She was originally a candidate for direct discipleship in Zizai Palace, but was defeated in the end and was sent here.

"Senior Sister Wen, what happened here?"

"Try to circulate your spiritual energy."

Ban Yangshu was slightly startled, then he circulated his spiritual energy and found that the spiritual energy in his body was trembling violently, but the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy was extremely slow, which surprised him.

Wen Zhengxin glanced at him and said, "The evil spirit here will suppress the circulation of spiritual energy."

Hearing this, the disciples behind Ban Yangshu immediately started talking.

Suppressing spiritual energy? Ji You was slightly stunned as he looked around, his expression gradually becoming thoughtful.

At this moment, Wen Zhengxin spoke again: "It's not just that the evil spirit can suppress the spiritual essence, it's also difficult to achieve the induction between heaven and man here."

The so-called "heaven-man resonance" is the academic name for the divine mind flying into the sky.

In other words, when within the range of evil spirits, it is difficult for cultivators to sense the Way of Heaven, and so cultivation becomes extremely difficult.

After Ban Yangshu tried it, he felt dizzy and his face looked even uglier: "The disciples of the Director's Office came to investigate three times before, why didn't they explain this point?"

"What do you think?"

Hearing these words, the faces of the disciples who had just arrived here gradually turned pale.

Everyone in Qingyun knows that the Immortal Sect is the most ruthless, but no one expected them to be so ruthless.

Investigating the evil spirits in the midst of the evil energy that can suppress spiritual essence is simply courting death.

Wen Zhengxin looked at them and finally said, "You don't have to worry too much. We are just going into the mountains tomorrow to explore the way. There won't be any danger."

"What's in the mountains?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"You'll find out once you get in."

Hearing the sound, everyone turned their heads to look at the endless Qiling Mountains in the distance, which seemed to be pressing down on them, and a chill unconsciously surged up in their hearts.

Just because the distance is so far, the evil spirit is already so strong. Who knows what will happen if we really go into the mountains.

At this moment, everyone's hearts were filled with resistance.

They came to the Immortal Sect to learn skills, paid tribute, and the money and goods were paid. Why would they come to a place like this to risk their lives?

But even so, no one dared to say "I won't go" and then left.

Because they are not just one person, what they represent is the relationship between their family heritage and the immortal sect that rules this world.

Ji You turned around and pointed in the direction of Hongshan Mine: "Don't we need to deal with those evil species that emerged from the mountain?"

"Just bypass them when entering the mountain. No need to deal with them."

After Wen Zhengxin finished speaking, he turned around and led everyone to the inn where they were staying.

Ji You suddenly realized that he had actually misunderstood this trip.

The Immortal Sect doesn't care how many evil seeds have emerged or how many living people are trapped. They only care about who is controlling the evil seeds or what secrets are in the mountain.

As for those who come out, whether they eat people, where they will go, or whether the trapped people will die, it doesn’t matter.

Ji You turned to look at Ban Yangshu at this time: "Brother, you guys go back to the post station first, I'll go out for a while."

"Where are you going?"

"Go check out Hongshan Mine."

Ban Yangshu frowned after hearing this: "Hongshan Mine is right next to the Qiling Mountains. There are already evil species roaming there. You are only a lower three realm perfection, what are you doing there?"

Ji You pointed at the women and children who were kneeling and kowtowing: "They seem to be giving money."

Ban Yangshu knew that Ji You loved money very much, but after hearing this, he still couldn't believe it: "You also make this money?"

"If you don't make money, you're a bastard."

Ban Yangshu was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "Do you know someone trapped in the mine?"

Ji You pondered for a while, weighed the sword in his hand and said, "I really can't hide anything from you, Senior Brother."

"You were born in Fengzhou. Who would you know in Zhongzhou?"

“Know the father of young children, the husband of a wife, and the son of an old man.”

Ji You grinned and walked towards Hongshan Mine with his sword in hand.

After leaving Yuyang County, he entered Tianshu Academy and discussed with Kuang Cheng that one wanted to dominate the government and the other wanted to be the head of Shengzong and make the world a better place.

But the position of headmaster was too far away from him, and he didn't even know if he could make it.

As expected, I was sent to be cannon fodder.

Ji You didn’t know what was in the mountain, and it was not something he, who had reached perfection in the lower three realms, could get involved in. But even if he had to be a cannon fodder, he could choose who he would serve.

He had learned a text before, which said that after the waves receded, many stranded fish were left on the beach, struggling in the water waiting to die.

Then there was a little boy who kept picking them up and throwing them into the sea.

Some passers-by saw it and laughed, saying that since you can't save all the fish, who would care.

The boy said, I care about this one, I care about this one, and I care about this one too...
