PS: Thank you for the monthly pass ~~

At the junction of Langya and Chiyou, on the road to the Demon Realm, there is a Red Rock City, which is the first line to resist the invasion of the Demon Realm.

The geology of Hongyan City is similar to that of the red clay land, and even if the weather is cold and frozen, from a distance, the houses built of red clay bricks are still particularly eye-catching, so it is called Red Rock City.

Hongyan City is covered by ice and snow all the year round, and has the reputation of the ice city, here is rich in ice sculptures, many of the nine disciples who died in the Red Rock Canyon will be regarded as heroes by the local people, carved into statues, placed in major squares, for people to pay respects.

Hongyan Canyon is ten miles outside the city, and the Nine Great Dao Sects set up many passes at the junction of the canyon and the Phantom Night Forest, after each Demon Sweeping Conference, the Nine Great Congresses are on duty for one year, and in the last year, they are jointly guarded by the Nine Great Ones until the end of the Demon Sweeping Conference.

On both sides of the canyon, there are endless snow-capped mountains, and thousands of miles to the north are the walls of Kunlun, which are guarded by the strongest sword immortals in the world. To the south, there is the Futian Great Wilderness Formation set up by the Upper Wilderness Temple. The two of them together blocked the way of invasion of the Demon Realm, except for the Red Rock Canyon, there was no second passage in the Demon Realm that could invade the Immortal Realm.

The pass set by the Nine Great Clans naturally cannot reach the point of leakage, but a few demons break through, and they can't pose much of a threat, but they will also give the living power to the Nine Great Slaughter, at most, they are secretly sabotaging.

"The Demon Sweeping Conference is a consensus that the immortals and demons have already reached, instead of going to war at any time, it is better to accumulate strength to fight to the death, and it only depends on which of the two sides can't hold it first. Therefore, the injection of fresh blood is a matter of great importance to the various avenues, and each of them staggers the day of opening the mountain gate to receive disciples. This year is your Sword Court, and next year it will be the turn of the Dao Court. ”

Quickwood Bingmi and Yanli walked side by side on the reddish-brown stone paved streets.

Hongyan City is very large, this is Yan Li's first feeling after entering the city.

Hongyan City is really huge, this is Yan Li's second feeling after entering the city. Because they have been riding all morning, they still can't see the second line against the demons, the Red Rock Fortress.

Of course, it is his habit to walk through every strange place from beginning to end, and he does not feel impatient because of it.

Then there is the third impression, there is only one architectural style of Red Rock City, monotonous and simple, straight to the point. The streets are straight, large and small, horizontal and vertical, all like official rulers.

This seems to be a bit cold and gray, making it difficult to like this city, as the first stop of the demon invasion, this should be taken for granted.

But no.

"Dao Court accepts apprentices, how is it?" Yan Li asked casually.

His fourth impression of Red Rock City was its owner. Its owners are, naturally, its inhabitants. The inhabitants here are very different from other places: their men are hospitable, honest and simple, optimistic and open-minded, and they are not worried about whether the sun will rise tomorrow, even when the war of demons is approaching. Their eyes are resolute and powerful, and their bones flow with a natural unyielding attitude to fate, not flattering because they are the nine great disciples, and the women here are full of wind and frost, they do not regard themselves as flowers in a delicate greenhouse, because they will not see the sun tomorrow at any time, so they cherish the full time of the present.

precisely

The presence of these people makes the featureless architecture of Red Rock City also lively and interesting. At least in Yan Li's eyes.

"It's not much different from your Sword Court. However, you are entering the four realms, and the Dao Court uses them to test your disciples is an immortal weapon, and the realms and levels are different, making it easier to identify qualifications and suitable methods. Liumu Bing politely declined the warm wine handed by the owner of the roadside wine shop, "Actually, this is not very clever, it is equivalent to directing the future of the disciples, maybe they have other ideas in their hearts? ”

Yan Li smiled disapprovingly and said, "I used to think the same way as you. After winning the Jiangbei Road, I realized that even the Dao Tong has limited resources, and I can only tend to the few people who will be able to escort the Dao Tong in the future. Balancing and throttling expenditure, with a few individuals as the core, is the foundation of the existence of the Taoist system. ”

Liumu Bing smiled and said, "I can't agree with Brother Yan's words. Potential does not necessarily need resources to stimulate, if some people exist, they can generate more resources? Moreover, to control a faction is not to cultivate to be strong and sit back and relax, but also to know how to manage people's prestige, interpersonal relations are the most important thing. Not to mention far away, your mountain and sea master sect, which one of the sword courts is not convinced, even I, an outsider, can't blame it, it can be seen that the prestige is grand, not only can affect the Taoist system, but also plays a pivotal role in the fairy world. ”

Yan Li never argues with women, even if she is a heroic female god of war. Hearing this, he just smiled, and then said: "I look at the pedestrians on this street, some of them are not residents of this city, they seem to be very leisurely, so dazzling." ”

Driftwood Bing said: "Behind the Red Rock Canyon, is the first badland in the Demon Realm, called the Phantom Night Forest, where it is a natural hunting ground, and not only the Starfall Beast, but also the unique monsters of the Demon Realm, they often fight each other, and many of the treasures condensed after the death of the Starfall Beast fell in place, so it attracted a large number of hunting groups specializing in 'scavenging'. Red Rock City is becoming more and more prosperous, and this is the reason. Now that war is imminent, they are naturally reluctant to take any more risks. ”

"I see. Yan Li nodded.

"Not all hunting groups are like this, there are many resistance legions organized by scattered people, all of them are ready to fight at any time in the Red Rock Fortress, and the battle situation is supported by them from the beginning, of course, the Nine Great Powers will prepare rich rewards for them, if they unfortunately die in battle, their families and parents will be properly arranged. ”

Flowwood Bingjian took the hot tea from an enthusiastic woman and thanked her with a smile, "The reason why the population of Red Rock City is growing so rapidly is that they are all descendants of heroes who have died in battle, passed down from generation to generation, and most of them have inherited the excellent qualities of their ancestors, so they are very different from other places. When the Nine Great Mountain Gates were opened, the residents of Hongyan City, especially the descendants of outstanding achievements, could get the opportunity to join, and Li Zhengjun of the Shanghuang Temple You have seen, he is a native of Hongyan. ”

"Is it him?" Yan Li stroked his palm and smiled, "No wonder it's so different, this person is very good, and his strength is not bad, why don't you invite him?"

"He is an orphan of Hongyan, and his parents are also disciples of the Nine Great Sects, so he has a strong sense of belonging to the Dao system, but he is naturally withdrawn and unsocial, and he is easy to conflict with others, so he is not suitable for our team. Driftwood Ice said. "In the last conference, he should have been admired in the top ten of the merit list, but because of a conflict with another Nine Great Disciple, he injured more than a dozen people, and his virtue was criticized, so he was kicked down

Come. ”

"How is the merit list calculated?" Yan Li's heart moved, and he remembered the bet with Han Tianzi. Although it is impossible for him to marry Gu Caiwei now, regardless of victory or defeat, since he has responded to the original situation, he has frustrated his spirit.

Liumu Bing said: "According to the cultivation realm and position, the demon clan is divided into soldiers, team leaders, commanders, generals, and military commanders. A soldier is counted as a battle merit, and the team is counted as ten battle merits, with 100 commanders, 1,000 generals, and 10,000 commanders. One hundred military exploits can buy the permanent residence right of Hongyan City, and future generations will be unconditionally protected by the Nine Great Ones. 10,000 battle exploits can be exchanged for a Yuan pyroxene. Brother Yan should pay attention to the fact that the battle exploits are based on the heart of the demons, and some demons do not die even if their heads are cut off, so they can't be counted. ”

"Then how do you identify yourself?" Yan said.

Liumu Bing said: "The heart of the demon clan has his imprint before his death, and as long as it is analyzed with a special talisman, you can get the identity information." ”

Yan Li said thoughtfully: "Then what to do with these hearts after they are recorded as battle exploits?"

Liumu Bing said: "After the war, it will be handed over to the Dao Court, counted in front of the nine responsible persons, and after the battle merit roster, it will be destroyed directly." She said as she reined in her horse at the door of a grand mansion.

"What?" Yan Li also followed, thinking that he had arrived, but he didn't see any fortresses, and subconsciously looked up and saw only a plaque of "Bad House".

"I will take you to get an identity stamp first, so that it is easy to enter and exit. Seeing that he had gotten along with him a lot, Liumu Bing naturally got up casually and dismounted without explaining a lot.

With a foundation of trust, there is naturally nothing to doubt. Yan Li dismounted and followed. The steps are a little high, and the number of steps is a bit too much, but before the two of them can go up to explain to the guards, a figure rushes over, and when he crosses Yan Li, the corner of his eye seems to shrink.

Yan Li had just undergone the third empowerment, and his five senses were extremely keen, and his brows couldn't help but wrinkle slightly.

The man quickly crossed over, and said to the bad man guarding the door with an anxious face: "I want to report to the official, official, I want to report to the official!"

"What's the matter, don't be in a hurry, talk slowly. "The older bad guy is a very gentle middle-aged man, and he soothes his emotions with a gentle voice.

The man seemed frightened, and rushed to the drum with a blank face, and the "knock knock" sounded. "Murder!

The old bad guy's face changed, and he hurriedly rushed forward, covered his mouth without saying anything, and said sharply: "What a bold trickster, dare to talk nonsense here, come over to me!" He changed his mildness at the beginning, dragged him away from the drum roughly, and motioned to another bad guy to hurry up and help.

"Wait. Seeing this, Liumu Bing's brows furrowed, "In broad daylight, is there a reason why the bad government doesn't let people report the case? Where are you two going to take him?"

The two of them took a look, and after a closer look, they found that Liumu Bing saw that he had an outstanding temperament and a graceful demeanor, which was not comparable to ordinary casual people, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "Ouch, you two must be the immortal disciples of the Nine Great Immortal Sects, you are slacking." That's the case, the bad marshal gave an order, and in extraordinary times, all those who are alarmist should be imprisoned, so as not to affect the morale of the army with bad rumors. ”

Yan Li's eyes flashed, stared at him and said, "You are not a resident of this city, are you?"
