Since Qiyun Cliff is a cliff, it naturally exists in a mountain, and that mountain is Dangyan Mountain.Dangyan stretches for tens of thousands of miles from the Antarctic Desolation in the east to the Xingluo Sea in the west.On the south side of the mountain range is the Unexplored Path of Heaven, even the monks in the tribulation period must be accompanied by several people before they dare to venture out; while on the north side of the mountain range is the mortal world—that is One of the six countries, the extreme south of Yin country.

Since returning to this world, Shen Yanye has only had one encounter with Mortal World, and that was the trip to Lancang City.Lancang City does not belong to any country, it belongs to a neutral zone, and there are many monks in it, so it is relatively peaceful.It's just that Lancang City is probably one of the few places in the mortal world that has not been affected by the flames of war.

In all fairness, the rivalry between sects of cultivating immortals pales in comparison to the wars between mortal nations.Although the Taiyi Sword Sect was at odds with the Lingxiao Sword Sect and Qixia Pavilion, they only looked at each other and hated each other, not at all reaching the level of wanting to eliminate each other.And some monks who claim to be from the "famous sect" are just mocking the Yaoxiu of Yingtian Palace and the woman of Baihua Mountain, and naturally they have not reached the situation of being at odds with each other or wanting to annex each other.

——In contrast, the mortal world is full of frequent wars and continuous battles all year round.The kings want to rule the world, but the common people are miserable.

Shen Yanye came to a village more than ten miles away from Dangyan Mountain to take a rest.In order not to frighten ordinary people who don't know magic, he deliberately landed far away from the village, and then walked over.However, the people in the village still looked at him with guarded eyes.The children shrank aside, while the women hugged their children tightly and looked coldly at the stranger who came.

Looking down at his feet from the sky just now, he didn't see any troops fighting nearby, but Shen Yanye looked at the women around him, and immediately understood why people were so nervous.

——In this village, most of them are women, and there are only a few men, either too young children, or frail old people who have difficulty even standing and walking.Presumably, middle-aged men... were all drafted into the army.

This realization made Shen Yanye sigh lightly, but there was nothing he could do.He looked around and walked towards a stout peasant woman in her twenties with a child on her back.The peasant woman obviously also realized that the strange man was walking towards her, so she straightened her body, holding the hoe, and said in a deep voice after a distance of several feet:

"What do you want to do?! There is no man in our family who can conscript you!"

Her voice was deep and thick, like a wounded lioness suppressing her anger.The surrounding villagers also gathered together, holding farm tools in their hands.An old woman said indignantly: "A fat man was sent here last month, and even the 13-year-old children in our village will not be spared!"

With the beginning of the old woman, everyone else began to criticize you and me.Shen Yanye stood in the middle of the storm, but he didn't say anything to stop it, as if he wanted to wait for the villagers to calm down before explaining.But this time he was obviously wrong - the more people talked, the more angry they became, while the peasant woman raised her hoe and smashed it hard at the top of Shen Yanye's head!

It was indeed sudden, and everyone around was petrified.The reason why they regarded Shen Yanye as a conscript was because he was dressed luxuriously and looked like an official.And the people in the official family can't be injured randomly, otherwise, if something happens, the whole village can't afford it!

Everyone exclaimed, and the peasant woman also reacted, with a frightened and annoyed look on her face, but it was too late.Just as she tightly closed her eyes and waited for the other person's head to bleed, the man in black snapped his fingers lightly, and the hoe resting between his eyebrows could no longer move a single bit.The peasant woman let go of her hand with a yell, and the hoe stayed in the air without any external force!

"Sister-in-law must have misunderstood, I'm not here to recruit soldiers." Shen Yanye said, "I'm a swordsman, and I came here for Dangyan Mountain. I don't have any malice towards you. I take the liberty of disturbing your place, just to rest for a while... ... I wonder if you can help me?"

........................

"Brother, I'm really sorry, we are too scared." The peasant woman who was still angry before was sitting under the kang with her child in her arms, choosing vegetables, and apologizing, "It's just that the war between Yin and Meng has become tense recently. , They recruited soldiers everywhere, even in remote villages like ours. The child's father was at that time..."

Shen Yanye sat cross-legged on one side, with the Jiehuo Sword placed on the table, listening to the nagging of the peasant woman.The farmer's mouth was broken, she was complaining about Yin country at first, and then she got involved with Dangyan Mountain somehow.

"Brother, are you really going to Dangyan Mountain? It is said that there is a very powerful vine demon in Dangyan Mountain. Many hunters in our village were killed by strange vines, so no one dared to hunt. They only dared to leave Dangyan Mountain. The mountains are far away..."

Speaking of which, she had finished choosing the dishes, so she told Shen Yanye that she was going to fetch a bucket of well water to wash, so she said goodbye for a while.Shen Yanye shook her head, then pointed to the wooden barrel next to her.The peasant woman looked over suspiciously, only to realize that the bucket, which was obviously empty before, had been filled with water, so she smiled——

"Is this the magic of monks? Although I have heard of it, I have never seen it! I heard that monks have sects. Which sect do you come from?"

Seeing that the peasant woman with a depressed face finally smiled, Shen Yanye also smiled lightly, but he didn't want to reveal too much information, so he changed the subject and said: "Sister-in-law, let's talk about the vine demon. It sounds like, That vine demon seems to be a disaster for the city?"

"It's not a disaster in the village. As long as you don't go up the mountain, you'll be fine. It's just that it killed many people. It's true," the peasant woman said.Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Shen Yanye with burning eyes, "If you are a monk, is there a way to kill that vine demon and avenge us?!"

"You can try—if sister-in-law wishes."

But as soon as she finished speaking, the peasant woman suddenly stood up and directly pulled Shen Yanye up.In a hurry, Shen Yanye only had time to pick up the fire-robbing sword, and was dragged by her until he ran to a hut in the middle of the village.She let go of his arm and knocked on the door.The one who opened the door was an old man with a hunchback and a stoop, about 70 years old.A pair of old but not cloudy eyes fell on Shen Yanye, which didn't seem surprising.He coughed twice, leaned on his crutches, and moved his body to the side.Then, he said to Shen Yanye in a hoarse voice:

"Young man, let's talk now."

……

The old man's name is Xu Fu, and he is the head of the village.Their Xu family has held the position of village head for generations, and he doesn't know how many generations it is.

"The old man has expected that Ajuan will bring you here, young man." After introducing himself, the old man sat down tremblingly, "The people in the village were panicked because of the vine demon, and then Yinguo's The emperor often comes to recruit soldiers...there are not many men left in the village, what a crime, a crime..."

"The old man wants me to get rid of that vine demon?"

The old man didn't speak, just picked up the flint and started to light his tobacco.The wrinkled eyelids like tree bark narrowed. The old man took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled a smoke ring.Seeing the smoke ring rising slowly and dissipating into the air, he half closed his eyes and said, "300 years ago, a fairy came to visit this place, and we asked her to kill the vine demon. But ..."

Shen Yanye narrowed his eyes and did not interrupt, while the old man took another puff of cigarette: "But when she returned to the village, she only told us that her cultivation was not enough, so she had to seal the vine demon first. But the deadline for the seal is It's only been 300 years. During these 300 years, the vine demon really didn't come out to make trouble. It's just that since the year before last, the hunters in the village have been dragged into the dense forest by trees and vines, and those who escaped by chance will not dare to approach the mountain again."

"If it was just sealed, then the vine demon's cultivation must have increased a lot in the past 300 years." Shen Yanye pondered, "Do you know what that fairy's cultivation was back then?"

"This old man doesn't know. We don't know much about that fairy, and the village head at that time only knew her surname was Lu. She came here back then, it seems, to get something from the Qiyun Cliff in Dangyan Mountain ...Eh? Young man, what's the matter with you?"

"...I'm fine, I just remembered something." Shen Yanye said, "Don't worry, I will try my best to kill that vine demon. If my skill is really not as good as it, I will learn from that Fairy Lu and kill it. Seal it first, and then make a decision."

........................

The old man sent Shen Yanye away happily.Shen Yanye returned to the place he borrowed, found a chair and sat down.He held the long sword in his hand, put it in front of himself, and said with a smile: "Shen Lian, is that 'Fairy Lu' you said, my mother?"

The sword spirit didn't show up, but his voice still rang in Shen Yanye's ears: "There is only the "Jueyin" volume under Qiyunya, so it is probably what that 'Fairy Lu' wants to take. Moreover, Sect Master Lu's cultivation level 300 years ago was no more than refining the void, so it is normal to say that there are monsters that cannot be defeated."

After a pause, the voice of the sword spirit was mixed with some worries: "You and Sect Master Lu look very similar, and the vine demon may recognize your relationship with her at a glance. Even the Sect Master Lu who was in the Void Refinement Stage could not win It, please be very careful."
