Shen Luo didn't want to give up, so he walked left along Mist Wall.
After walking for more than an hour, the white Mist Wall still did not stop. He also tried several times to explore the way inside the Mist Wall, but the result was the same as before. It was difficult to withstand the feeling of suffocation.
However, as he walked, Shen Luo suddenly discovered that the terrain under his feet began to rise, and he seemed to be climbing.
Soon, another hour passed, and Shen Luo still found nothing.
Just when he was about to give up and return to Longevity Village, there was a sudden "click" sound under his feet and he stepped on something.
Shen Luo When he lowered his head to inspect, he discovered that there was a corpse at his feet.
His heart moved slightly, and he walked forward another hundred or so steps. The fog in front suddenly began to fade a lot, but the sight that appeared in front of him surprised him.
For a few tens of feet in front, the ground was filled with densely packed human and animal bones.
Shen Luo Looking at the somewhat familiar scene in front of him, he couldn't help but frown slightly, but he only hesitated slightly and continued walking towards the center of the bones.
When he got closer, he soon saw the hole about ten feet on the ground, which was pitch black, and it was the Firmament Hollow he had escaped from before.
"Sure enough, it's here, and it's back again..." Shen Luo muttered.
He walked to the edge of the hollow and looked inside for a moment, but couldn't see anything.
Shen Luo knew that without the protection of Flower of the Other Shore, once he entered Netherworld, his body would be turned into powder, and there was also a terrifying Black Mountain Old Demon inside.
"If you want to take this path again, I'm afraid Soul Condensation Stage is not strong enough, at least you need Out-of-Body Stage." Shen Luo murmured.
After saying that, he turned around and left here, continuing to explore in another direction.
Near noon, Shen Luo returned to Longevity Village, but in the end could not find a way out in the fog.
Ying Luo had been waiting at the wall early, and was extremely happy to see him come back safely.
Shen Luo frowned slightly and told her what he had discovered in the mist, but concealed the discovery leading to Netherworld Hollow.
"Brother Shen, thank you for your hard work. Since you can't get out of the mist, just make plans to continue fighting against the monsters." Ying Luo said after hearing this, although he was a little disappointed, he still said firmly.
"There is no way out in the fog, I plan to go to Fangcun Mountain to look for it." Shen Luo turned his eyes and landed on the towering mountain behind the village, saying in a calm tone.
"No, no! Absolutely not, it's too dangerous there!" Upon hearing this, Ying Luo immediately shook his head like a rattle.
"I know that you have an ancestral teaching not to allow people to enter the mountains, but there is no way out now. Only going up the mountains may be a chance of survival. Look at those children, do you really want them to spend their last days in fear of constantly fighting monsters?" Shen Luo looked at the children playing aside and said seriously.
Ying Luo also looked over there after hearing this, then fell silent and fell into deep thought.
"Okay, Brother Shen. If you really plan to go up the mountain, then I must go with you." After a moment, she raised her head and said decisively.
"You don't have to take risks with me. You have to take care of me in the village. Besides, your injuries haven't healed yet." Shen Luo smiled and shook his head.
"Brother Shen, I'm not acting out of impulse, but without me to lead the way, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to find the entrance to the mountain." Ying Luo shook his head and said.
"Why is this?" Shen Luo asked in confusion.
"Fangcun Mountain's mountains are steep and the hiking trails are mostly hidden. If I didn't lead the way, you would have to spend a lot of time just to find the mountain pass." Ying Luo said.
"But in the village..." Shen Luo hesitated.
"Brother Shen, don't worry. You just killed those monsters yesterday with heavy casualties. They will definitely not dare to do it again in a short time. The wounds on my body are all superficial, which is not a problem." Ying Luo said with firm eyes.
"That's fine. Without further ado, let's set off now." Shen Luo hesitated for a moment and said.
"Okay."
Ying Luo found the young man named Green Ox in the village and asked him to guard the village. After that, he went to Granny Ma to tell him, and then left with Shen Luo to Fangcun Mountain.
Fangcun Mountain seems to be right behind Longevity Village, but in fact the journey into the mountain is quite long.
In addition, the original mountain road had not been walked on for many years and had long been covered by dense weeds and shrubs, making it quite difficult to walk. It took Shen Luo the two of them a full hour to reach the foot of the mountain.
When we reached the foot of the mountain, Shen Luo realized why Ying Luo insisted on coming.
On the Fangcun Mountain in front of him, he could only see patches of mountain walls hundreds of feet high, with no road at all.
It was also Ying Luo who found a huge raised rock based on the terrain features mentioned by the old man in the village before, and then discovered a hidden cave from underneath.
They followed the slope of the cave all the way up, walking through the mountain for hundreds of feet, and then emerged from a hole in the mountain wall behind Fangcun Mountain.
The two of them walked along a narrow path in front of the cave entrance for about two or three miles before they came to a slightly wider mountain road, and finally found the real way to climb Fangcun Mountain.
"You're right. If you don't lead the way, I'll have to go around until night and I may not be able to find the way." Shen Luo looked at the dense ancient trees around him and couldn't help but say.
"There used to be many legends about Fangcun Mountain's immortals in the village. The one I still remember is the story of Guide Butterfly and the woodcutter. Among them, Guide Butterfly said that there was a man who crossed the sea from another continent and wanted to go up the mountain to become a disciple and practice Daoism. He came to the foot of this mountain. After that, he lost his way and couldn't find the entrance to the mountain. He wandered around and searched for three years at the bottom of the mountain, but he still refused to give up. Finally, he was moved by the gods on the mountain and sent a Guide Butterfly to guide him, so that he climbed all the way up and found the mountain gate." Ying Luo said eloquently.
"Perhaps these three years of hard work have made him unable to find a way out, so the gods on the mountain are testing him?" Shen Luo said with a smile after hearing this.
"When my father told me this story, I thought the same thing. Even when I was a child, I was wondering if the hardships we encountered in the village were also tests from the gods." Ying Luo said with a smile, but his tone was a little sad.
"What is the legend about the woodcutter?" Shen Luo saw this and changed the subject and asked.
"This story is even more bizarre..." Ying Luo heard this and stopped when the words came to his lips.
Shen Luo on the side also froze and stood on the spot.
On a huge rock dozens of feet away in front of them, a yellow figure appeared silently.
