Momiji sneered: "I didn't get anything when I was alive, what's the use of going to your old ancient family's monument when I die?"

"You don't understand this," Gu Zhongyou said with a hint of smugness on his face, "The Gu Clan's Yingjie Monument is determined by the Gu Clan General Association of Houtu City. Once anyone has their name on the tablet, they can lock in reincarnation and be reincarnated in the Gu family a hundred times in the future, and they are born to cultivate as the Gu family's Tianjiao. In this way, reincarnation for a hundred lifetimes, no matter how bad your luck and qualifications are, you will definitely have a day of ascension. ”

Hongye showed a look of disbelief on his face: "How can this be true, reincarnation is determined by karma, even gods and Buddhas cannot change karma, how can you Gu clan have the power to lock reincarnation?"

"Haha," Gu Zhongyou said with a smile, "There are many rules in this world, but there are too many exceptions in the dark. If you keep all of them, it's someone else's chopping board. ”

......

The top of the Yinlong Mountain Range is called the Dujiao Peak, which is about 2,500 zhang higher than the terrain of Kapok City, just like a single horn on the top of the silver dragon's head, straight into the clouds, perennial clouds and mist, very few people see its true face.

The terrain of the Southern Xinjiang Demon Realm is originally higher than that of Middle Earth, and the height of the Unicorn Peak is not comparable to the famous mountains of Middle Earth like Jade Peak. The higher the air, the thinner it becomes, and when it rises more than a thousand feet above the sea, it becomes more and more difficult to resist the wind.

In addition, the temperature is extremely low in extremely high places, the blood veins are stagnant, and the power of true qi and mana will drop greatly.

Blue Ruoshuang is a body of bitter cold, and its resistance to cold is much stronger than that of ordinary monks. But just like that, she flew to a height of more than 2,300 zhang and had to stop.

Only 200 zhang can reach the top. But these two hundred zhang are not straight up and down, so the real walk is definitely not a distance of two hundred zhang. On top of a cliff, there is a narrow peak of ice and snow, like a snake coiling its head upward.

Except for this road, the rest of the place is full of cliffs, strange rocks, or ice and snow, and there is nowhere to stay. Even this path is not a natural formation, but has been carved by monks who have climbed it for hundreds of years.

Snow-white clouds spread under her feet, like an endless still world with mountains, water, roads, and cities.

The height she was at was far greater than that of the Four Heavenly Kings, but she had not passed through the Heavenly Gate, and she was separated from the Heavenly Gate by time and space, so she could only see some ethereal and invisible clouds that disappeared before she got close.

She was tightly wrapped in a snow-white fox fur, and the icy wind blew across her face from time to time, blowing her originally snow-white face red. She used her hands and feet to climb over the rock crevices that jutted out of the almost steep cliff face.

The rocks were covered with thick ice and the temperature was extremely low. If it is a mortal, the hand will freeze immediately when it touches it, and it will never be pulled off again. Although she had Xuanming True Qi on her body, she was almost numb from the cold.

After climbing over the steep slope, a winding road finally appeared in front of me, and the road was gloomy and bleak, and there were strange black fogs floating in the air. The clear sky above the clouds was gone. The entire Dujiao Peak was also shrouded in a thick dark cloud that looked like substance.

As soon as she walked into this black mist, even Lan Ruoshuang couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. The black mist seemed to be a cold liquid floating in the air, causing the residual heat on her body to flow quickly.

She forcibly activated the Xuan Ming True Qi, and another circle of cold fields formed around her body. Not only did it no longer lose any warmth to the surrounding black fog, but it forcibly absorbed more warmth from the surroundings.

The black fog that had been quiet around them suddenly stirred, like many insects wriggling strangely in the air. The Dark Cold Domain was embedded in them like a pale blue round gem. They appear frightened and irritated, constantly tempting. But the tremendous deterrence given to them by the Occult Qi finally suppressed them.

These black mist were not naturally formed, but were part of the field formed by the 10,000-year-old Xuanyin tree at the top of the mountain. This 10,000-year-old Xuanyin Tree also belongs to the assets of the Sleeping Evil Mountain Tree Clan, and is supervised by Kapok City.

There were no guards from Kapok City along the way. This was because these black mist were filled with an incomparably strong Xuanyin aura, and even the Jindan Monk couldn't hold out for long even if he entered. So it's not that they don't want to be watched, it's that not only do they not need to be guarded at all, but there is no one to come and watch over them.

But there are exceptions to everything, Lan Ruoshuang herself has a bitter cold body, and she has cultivated the Xuanyin Nine Dead Yin cultivation skills, and has a natural resistance to this Xuanyin field. In this world, apart from her and Gou Zhu, I'm afraid there is no one who can hold out here for so long.

There are many traces of previous climbs on this road. This is because every hundred years, this 10,000-year-old Xuanyin tree will fall into a deep sleep for a period of time, and the Xuanyin field around it will naturally disappear. At that time, anyone could climb to the top.

At that time, the monks of Kapok City would close off the top of the mountain, and only a small number of monks would be allowed to go up to the top of the mountain to pick the leaves of the ancient Xuanyin tree. These leaves are plucked to be the extremely cold silver leaves that you crave.

An extremely cold silver leaf can be sold for hundreds of taels of blood spirit stones, and tens of thousands of leaves can be harvested at a time, which is also the most important source of income for Kapok City in addition to the beast tide.

But because the leaves of the tree are stripped of every hundred years, the cultivation of this tree is greatly damaged, and it will become extremely tyrannical after awakening. Whoever enters the field around it will be slain by it. Therefore, even if they can endure its Xuanyin Field, no one will come here.

In addition to people, it also kills all living beings, not a bird or a worm, and it will not survive here.

Lan Ruoshuang climbed all the way to the top. In the midst of the boundless clouds, she saw a trunk as thick as a huge bucket, as thick as dozens of people embraced, all black, and covered with branches shaped like giant bull's horns, like a giant python soaring into the sky.

It's just that its treetops are not as sharp as ordinary treetops, but instead gather countless black mist, forming a strange round ball. A pair of branches to the left and right of the ball resemble a pair of giant horns. On the ball, a pair of blue rays shot out, like a pair of eyes.

It is not static, but constantly writhing like a dancing snake, constantly exuding madness, tyranny, and murderous thoughts.

As soon as Lan Ruoshuang walked under this tree, her ears seemed to be filled with extremely crazy whispers.

"Kill all of you! kill all of you!" it was hard to say what language it was, or what strange tune it used, but the real voice went into her ears and into her heart, and it felt as if her ears were beginning to rot and maggots crawling out of her ears.

She once again activated the Xuanming True Qi, and the Xuanming Field enveloped the entire tree dozens of feet high.

The Xuanyin Tree trembled like a giant python that had been caught seven inches, and the tyrannical divine thought was slightly restrained. The blue light in its eyes brightened, and its body made a loud squeak, bent like a bow, and approached Blue Frost.

"Who are you and why do you have a hint of his breath in you......"

It spoke without a voice or words, but it was pure divine thought, falling from the top of Blue Frost's head like a hailstone. It's just that those fierce questioning intentions dissipated like raindrops falling into the water as soon as they touched the Xuanying Cold Domain.

Lan Ruoshuang roughly understood its divine thoughts. The so-called "he" in its mouth actually refers to Xuan Ming. The bitter cold body of Blue Ruoshuang is essentially derived from the bloodline of Xuan Ming.

"Instead of asking who I am, you should ask who you are. Lan Ruoshuang didn't speak, she just passed on her divine thoughts with Xuanming True Qi.

Although the Xuanyin Tree has spirituality, it does not have spiritual sense. It is just like the real demons in the depths of the wilderness of the demon world, although the long years have brought them extremely high cultivation, but because they have never known what self is, they can only survive by relying on their instinct as a wild thing.

Creatures without psychic beings are incapable of dialogue. But what this Xuanyin Tree lacks is a wisp of Xuanyin Breath to help it become enlightened. Lan Ruoshuang transmitted her divine thoughts, and passed on a trace of Xuanxia Breath, and it began to sprout a trace of spiritual sense.

"Yes!" it began to make a dull, strange grinding sound, and then raised its "head" again. It seemed that for the first time in 10,000 years, it began to think from the gap of infinite killing intent, "Who am I?"

Lan Ruoshuang's beautiful eyes raised, wiping away the messy hair on her face, and said with a smile: "You are a Xuanyin tree, born in the most yin place at the bottom of the Northern Underworld. Five hundred years ago, there was a master Qin Zunyang, who went to the bottom of the North Hell to find the flesh of the White Tiger and Xuan Ming, but returned in vain.

"But when he found you, he brought you out, and he wanted to send you to the Sleeping Evil Mountain Tree Clan, and use your 10,000-year cultivation to create his Aoki Immortal Skill.

"It's a pity that you were undisciplined and couldn't take advantage of it, and in the end he only picked one branch. The rest of the part will be thrown at the top of the Silver Dragon Mountain Range, leaving you to fend for yourself. ”

Lan Ruoshuang naturally didn't know all this, but Gu Zhongyou knew. After Qin Zunyang obtained the Xuanyin Tree, he couldn't find anyone with a bitter cold body among the descendants of the Snow Clan, so even if he got this tree, he couldn't refine it. So in the end, what he brought to the Jade Palace was only a branch of the Xuanyin Tree.

That branch was continuously passed down in the Jade Palace Torture Hall, and finally passed on to Ghost Xuanyin, and after Ghost Xuanyin got it, he cultivated all the way to the consummation of the Purple Mansion.

Moreover, in recent years, the spirit of heaven and earth has flourished, and the cultivation of Ghost Xuanyin, which was originally limited by Shouyuan, has begun to faintly have a breakthrough again, and there is the possibility of impacting Jindan.

The bitter cold body that Qin Zunyang could not find, but it was carefully cultivated by the ancient family. Then for this 10,000-year-old Xuanyin tree, they naturally won't let it go.

It's just that this place is impossible for the people of the Gu family to approach except for Lan Ruoshuang. Therefore, Gu Zhongyou had to let Lan Ruoshuang come here alone.
