Patrol Captain

In Anping County, the wind and snow were howling and the sky was dark.

About ten miles southwest of the county, there is a mountain that the local people call Zushan. It is not high, only about four hundred feet.

In the past, it was the burial place for the people of the county a hundred years later, and it was also a place to burn incense and offer sacrifices. In short, it was a mountain of graves!
Because of the strange incident half a year ago, a golden mountain appeared behind the ancestral mountain. The whole mountain was glowing mysteriously, making the entire Anping County lively.

Some people said it was a mirage!
Some people say that it is the residence of heaven!

Some people say that they saw the mythical bird Phoenix there.

Some people say that at a certain time, a fairy palace was seen far away on that mountain.

.........

There are so many rumors!

Many people rushed to climb the mountain that was emitting divine light, with their hearts burning with desire to find opportunities.

The only way to enter the mountain is through the ancestral mountain of Anping County, because the sacred mountain cannot be seen from other directions.

And this ancestral mountain has also changed, shrouded in a strange fog.

Many people initially entered the Zushan Mountain, but most returned empty-handed. Some were lost in the strange fog and had to go back after a lot of trouble, while others climbed over the Zushan Mountain and saw the sacred mountain, but could never get close to it after walking and walking.

And slowly, as time passed, more and more strange things happened in the ancestral mountain, and things became more and more serious!

Some unknown changes occurred in the fog of the ancestral mountain, and more and more people disappeared in this ancestral mountain.

It was not until the people who went in were never seen coming out again that many people felt something was wrong and became terrified when talking about it.

This place has become a dangerous mountain!
But there are still many pairs of eyes spying on this mountain, and they go into the mountain one after another without believing in it, saying that there are great opportunities inside.

Early in the morning of that day, the tranquility of Anping County was broken by a large number of soldiers and armored personnel, which passed by in a mighty manner.

The ancestral mountain here was blocked by soldiers and those martial artists who were wandering outside the mountain were driven away one after another.

However, these people who used to draw their swords against each other over a disagreement became reasonable and did not object when they saw the flags behind the soldiers.

The ones coming were soldiers from the Ninth Mountain!

The people of Anping County, on the other hand, were not surprised. The adults from the Ninth Mountain had been here several times before, and they guessed that too many people had gone missing in the mountains, so they sent troops to solve the problem.

At this time, near the ancestral mountain covered with clouds and mist,

"drive"

"drive"

"drive"

Amidst the vast expanse of white snow, the sound of horses shouting could be heard.

But this sound did not come from the ground, but from the sky.

Soon, in the northeast direction, between the vast white skies, a black dot broke through the wind and snow, and hissed down from the sky!

A row of green armors led the way, and then eight big horses pulled a bronze chariot down from the sky!

The flags for felling the mountain on the Ninth Mountain fluttered.

"Herod"

The horses neighed and the wind blew under their feet.

Then the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground was heard.

The men and horses fell, and the bronze chariot landed on the ground with a dull thud, and the strong wind that blew up the snow flakes wildly.

As the bronze sedan chair descended, a sound of breaking through the air came rapidly towards it from the snow in the distance.

"boom"

A red-armored figure landed on the ground, then quickly came to the side of the bronze carriage, and then bowed towards the window, "General, the Anping County Magistrate and the officials in charge of the county annals are all here!"

"Let them come over and talk!" Chen Yuan's voice came from the carriage.

"Yes!" Lu Ming, who was wearing red armor, responded and quickly brought over a few people wearing civil servant robes.

There were three people, the middle one was the magistrate of Anping County, wearing a bright red official robe with flying birds. The two people next to him were dressed in brocade, but they were not official positions. One was the county yamen registrar, and the other was the county yamen chief clerk, and the other was a clerk.

The three knew the identity of the people in the carriage, and they were terrified. After Lu Ming passed through the Qingjia formation, the three immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the carriage.

"Your humble servant Wen Tianming pays respect to the general!"

"Minor official......"

No one was kneeling on the snow, with his head buried, shivering a little.

"Get up, I have something to ask you!" In the carriage, Chen Yuan spoke slowly with a majestic aura.

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Anping County Magistrate Wen Tianming and the other two stood up and quickly responded, "I will tell you everything I know!"

As he spoke, the beard on both sides of his mouth trembled, and his cautious look seemed a little funny.

"Do you know the origin of this mountain? Was there anything strange about it in the past?" a voice came from the carriage.

Wen Tianming listened carefully, stepped forward immediately, raised his hands, and said respectfully:
"Reporting to the general, many outsiders have been asking about the origin of this mountain recently. However, according to the county annals, this mountain is a cemetery where local people have been buried for generations. There is nothing strange in the records. I don't know why something strange happened suddenly! I have been worried these days. More and more people are disappearing there. Now the people under my rule dare not go here anymore."

In the carriage, Chen Yuan's voice remained calm and he continued with the next question.
"This mountain has no history, except for the people buried in it. Has any important person ever been buried in this mountain?"

There is something strange about the changes that have occurred in this mountain. Chen Yuan wants to see if he can find any clues.

Wen Tianming shook his head. "I have been an official here for more than 20 years, and I have never heard of any important person buried in this mountain!"

As he spoke, he looked to the left and said, "Sun Dianshi, you are usually in charge of the county annals. Is there any relevant record in the county annals?"

The official listened to what he said, tried to recall it, and said:

"Since this county was established more than a thousand years ago, there have naturally been some famous people, but they are not great figures, and there is no clear record in the county annals that any great figures are buried here."

In the carriage, Chen Yuan didn't get any useful clues from what he heard, but he did notice one point and asked casually.

"Anping County has been established for more than a thousand years. Was it newly established during this dynasty?"

"General, that's true. According to the county annals, this county was originally just a small village at the foot of Zushan Mountain. Later, more and more people settled there, and it became the current Anping County!"

Chen Yuan listened, but didn't find any problem.
"Okay, you guys go down. When you go back, hand over the Anping County Annals to the Jinguancheng Fusi for review. Also, go back and tell the people in this county not to go near this mountain."

"Too many people are missing in this mountain. Don't cause a commotion!" Chen Yuan ordered.

"Yes, yes, I will definitely follow the general's orders!"

"Then I and the others will take our leave first!"

When the Anping County Magistrate heard that they could withdraw, he spoke quickly.

Facing a dragon-tiger general, he felt a chill on his back and broke out in a cold sweat. He then bowed and said goodbye, and retreated several steps with the two clerks before turning around.

After the three men left, Lu Ming, who was standing aside, came forward again.

"General, when you were trapped in the Shiwan Mountains, I heard about the commotion here, and heard that someone saw the phoenix that disappeared from General Mountain in the golden mountain that appeared behind this mountain, so I led people to investigate and block it. Later, when I heard that you were in trouble, I led people away. However, the rumors about this mountain were not so fierce at that time!"

In the carriage, Chen Yuan's eyes flickered as he looked through the black and gold embroidered curtains at the ancestral mountain in the distance that was hazy in the wind and snow!
Behind the foggy world, there was indeed a ray of golden light shining on the mountain, revealing a small mountain peak that looked very close, yet extremely far away!
If you want to understand a mountain, you must enter it and penetrate it.

"I am going to explore the mountain. You and your men will stay here."

As he spoke, Chen Yuan flicked his sleeves, the curtain opened, and a breeze flew up, soaring into the sky, surging into the vast world. After a few breaths, Chen Yuan turned into a residual shadow and crashed into the misty ancestral mountain!

When he stepped into it, the clouds inside seemed to have spirits and gathered towards him. The whole mountain made a loud rumbling sound as if a giant beast had broken into it.

Immediately afterwards, an invisible force like a tsunami pressed towards him, wave after wave, trying to knock him down and press him to the ground.

Chen Yuan's pupils flashed with a sharp light.

"buzz"

The immortal treasure body automatically emitted light, wantonly shattering this invisible force. The sound of air explosions continued, and the whole mountain roared even louder.

Chen Yuan was a little surprised. He encountered such strong resistance as soon as he entered the mountain. This mountain was strangely huge!
At this moment, the thick fog around him seemed to have substance, rolling towards him and limiting his vision.

This is not the strangest thing. While the fog restricted his vision, it also suppressed part of his control and perception of the void around him.

This involves the laws of heaven and earth!

Chen Yuan had never encountered such a scene before.

Chen Yuan frowned, and suddenly a strange feeling came to his mind, as if this ancestral mountain was alive.

Sense his arrival and suppress him!

Just as his mind was turning rapidly, Chen Yuan felt a hidden wave a hundred feet below and to the side, rushing towards him rapidly!

Chen Yuan's eyes turned cold and his figure shook.

Next second,
"Ding"

Chen Yuan held the tip of a sword between his two fingers.

Then, he bent his fingers, broke the tip of the sword, and swung it at the person who came.

When the short sword tip was swung by his fingers, an astonishing wave burst out, and the clouds and mist exploded, directly shooting at the person coming from the opposite side.

She was a young woman wearing a moon-white robe, with a beautiful temperament, arrogant eyes, and the cultivation of a Tianguan Taoist soldier!
The tip of the sword landed directly on the woman like a stunning cannonball, and then she exploded into flesh and blood without even a scream.

Chen Yuan shook his hands, his eyes cold. How dare a mere Tianguan attack and kill him?
But the next second, murderous intentions appeared from the fog in all directions.

Chen Yuan became impatient and stomped his foot. Immediately, the mist around him exploded and the void roared.

Subsequently,

"puff"

"puff"

"puff"

Muffled sounds were heard in the fog, and soon the white fog was dyed red with blood.

"I want to see what you are!"

Chen Yuan snorted coldly, followed by the sound of clanging metal. The flesh between his brows was torn apart hideously. His golden Dharma eyes moved, seeing through all directions, and looked down.

Empty!

Nothing but fog!

He frowned, looked up again, and suddenly saw a mountain hanging upside down above his head!

My goodness, even the five senses can be distorted.

No wonder those people went in and never came out.

Chen Yuan's pupils shrank slightly and he became cautious. This mountain was far beyond his expectations.

He looked towards the upside-down mountain with his Dharma eyes. Inside, there was a misty forest, desolate and silent. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there stood tombs of different styles, some low and some majestic.

It is undoubtedly a grave mountain!

There, between heaven and earth, paper money was flying all over the sky, fluttering in the air, and there was an indescribable weirdness to it.

It's weird, but not eerie.

Chen Yuan's magic eyes swept across some of the graves, and suddenly his gaze stopped. Then his figure flashed and he came to a grave.

This grave is just a pile of earth and an ordinary tombstone in front of it. The words engraved on it have become blurred by time!
However, according to the words on the tombstone, there is an old man buried there.

Judging from the style of the tombstone, it seems like it’s been quite a while.

At this moment, Chen Yuan stomped his foot, and with a loud bang, the pile of earth in front of him cracked and quickly separated.

There was a black leather coffin inside, which looked surprisingly new, as if it had just been buried not long ago.

Chen Yuan flicked his sleeves and the coffin lid was opened.

There was a person lying inside!
It was a bearded man wearing black tights, holding a machete in his hand. His flesh and blood looked vivid, but when Chen Yuan's magic eyes examined him, he had no soul at all.

Then, Chen Yuan moved and came to another tomb and repeated the previous operation.

A young man appeared inside, wearing a turban and holding a long sword. His flesh and blood had begun to shrivele, but still retained some vitality.

Then, the third, the fourth
Chen Yuan searched for several of them, and found people in them, with different physical conditions, some were still alive, and some had begun to rot. There were masters of the heavenly gate, as well as those of the body and qi refining.

But the soul is gone.

Are they all dead? Or have they been taken away by some entity?
Chen Yuan looked at these corpses and vaguely guessed that the people lying in these coffins might be the people who disappeared in this mountain in recent days.

The people I wanted to launch a sneak attack on just now were these "dead" people!
The Prince of Beiliang said that he was trapped in a bronze coffin. Could it be one of the tombs in this mountain?
This mountain of graves gave him a very strange feeling.

They're all coffins!

Another coffin!

Many scattered events involve coffins, which seem to point to some clues!
Chen Yuan's Dharma eyes quickly scanned the entire mountain of graves, and at this moment, the mountain beneath his feet shook violently.

Then, the mountain under his feet cracked open, as if opening a huge mouth, trying to swallow him, and a huge suction force sucked towards him.

Chen Yuan shook down, shattering the mountain beneath his feet and soaring into the sky.

As he rushed forward, the entire mountain of graves seemed to roar, boom boom, and the entire mountain seemed to come alive.

The tombstones turned into sky-high stone tablets and blasted towards Chen Yuan!

The silver and paper money in the sky turned into paper soldiers and horses.

In an instant, the heaven and earth roared, and the world turned upside down!
Chen Yuan felt the overwhelming pressure of energy, his eyes turned up and a roar came from his throat.

His body shook and a huge Dharma body appeared. Then he swung the spear in his hand, and a gun roared, resounding through the heaven and earth.

A war broke out immediately afterwards!
Holding a three-pointed, two-edged spear, Chen Yuan smashed the Heaven-Suppressing Stone Stele, paper people and paper horses, causing the spiritual light to explode and the graves below to burst open one after another.

But the number is too large.

In the end, Chen Yuan was forced to use the Five Elements of Heaven!
"Five Elements Heaven!"

When the Five Elements of Heaven were unleashed, the rioting ancestral mountain suddenly calmed down at this moment!

Then, a phoenix cry was heard!
In the southern Phoenix Sky, a coffin appeared, releasing an immortal aura!
The stone tablets in the sky quickly flew backwards, and all the paper people and paper horses turned into paper money ingots.

The cracked cemeteries were also closed. (End of this chapter)
