400. It's not easy, four hundred chapters!
Among the major cities in Dongzhou, Black Iron City is just an inconspicuous small city, but in the ranking of the force value of various cities in Dongzhou, this city can be among the best. Dagger Blaze starts
Because this is a city standing in the depths of the 100,000 Great Mountain, all the demon beasts living near the city are above the sixth level, and their strength is equivalent to the Dan stage of human monks.
More monsters means more harvest. As long as you have the strength to kill demon beasts, you can harvest the demon beasts' inner pills, bones, fur, and flesh and blood, all of which can be exchanged for spiritual stones, pills and other cultivation resources.
Therefore, even if there are not a few monks who fall in the depths of the 100,000 mountains every year, there are still many monks who come to hunt demon beasts, hoping to earn enough cultivation resources and improve their strength and cultivation.
Gu Liang and the other nine people appeared in this Black Iron City, where Jin Dan and Yuan Ying could be seen everywhere, and they did not cause too many ripples.
The Black Iron City was reclaimed and established by the ancestors of the Qiankun faction, and its ownership naturally belonged to the Qiankun faction, and there were often disciples of the Qiankun faction who came to hunt demon beasts.
Except for Gu Liang, who was obviously coming for the first time, Tang Tang and they fought in and out of the 100,000 mountains, and the number of times they came to Black Iron City was already uncountable.
The nine of them didn't stay in the city for long, they simply bought some necessities, and then went out of the city.
For the next five or six days, they will spend the next five or six days in the 100,000 mountains, and will not return to the city unless they encounter an emergency or have to retreat.
There are 100,000 mountains of rare birds and beasts, and dangers are everywhere.
Tang Tang, Gu Liang and the others all maintained a high altitude of the sword flying, and their bodies were attached to the breath charm, so as not to be discovered by the birds of prey in the sky and the fierce beasts of the earth, causing unnecessary consumption.
Tang Tang seemed very familiar with this neighborhood, and without Gu Liang unfolding her divine sense warning, she knew where she could go, where she couldn't, and where was the lair of the demon beast.
This journey went quite smoothly, during which he only encountered a few demon beasts with low strength but fast speed, and they were all solved by Gu Liang's streamer sword.
"It's getting dark, and it's almost Kurosawa, so let's stop and rest and continue our journey tomorrow." Tang Tang took the lead in slowing down himself, his voice was neither high nor low, just enough to be heard by everyone in the small team, "In front is the Banyan Forest, where we rest, remember not to hurt the little demon beasts there." ”
Not long after, a non-huge banyan tree appeared in front of the cultivators, Rao is Gu Liang saw two giant trees, and was also startled by this banyan tree that grew in the depths of the 100,000 mountains and could almost resemble a small forest.
The giant tree in the middle of the lake island gives people the feeling of being extremely tall, the giant tree of the black mountain spirit pond gives people the feeling of being lush, and the banyan tree in front of them gives people the feeling of infinite vitality and vitality.
Sensing Gu Liang's surprise, Tang Tang explained, "This banyan tree is the marker of the 100,000 Great Mountains and Kurosawa, it only appears in the spring, summer and autumn of a year, disappears in winter, and will reappear in the beginning of spring the next year.
Within the shade of the banyan tree, the demon beasts and poisonous insects of the 100,000 mountains are extinct, and it is the best place to recuperate or rest. However, there is one thing to be aware of, don't hurt the original little demon beast in the banyan tree, and don't enter the depths of the banyan tree without permission. ”
"I know the latter one, but why can't I hurt the little demon beasts in the range of the banyan tree," Gu Liang asked with some kindness.
Gu Liang had seen the record of this tree in the sect's collection.
But the miscellaneous book only wrote a few sentences "You can rest under the banyan tree, and you are not allowed to enter the depths of the banyan forest", and it is gone, and there is no record that this tree will disappear in winter, and there is no record that you must not harm the little monster beast of the tree.
Tang Tang didn't know much about this, frowned and thought about it, and said, "I don't know either." This is one thing I've heard, but all the monks who have hurt the little demon beasts of the tree will die in the depths of the 100,000 mountains for no reason, and they can't find any reason, and without exception, including the Yuan Ying seniors. ”
"We'll be fine with its rules anyway, and there's no need to dig into the reasons for it." A monk with a large sword on his back next to him said.
His name is Xi Weiming, his cultivation is a half-step Yuanying, he is a disciple of Jianfeng, and he is also one of Huo Qingqing's many senior brothers, and he is a disciple of Wuzhen Zhenjun.
However, compared with Huo Qingqing, who has been extremely talented since he was a child, his qualifications are only mediocre, and his understanding is not enough. Now that the bone age is nearly 100, it is only a half-step baby, and it still needs to be honed for several years before it becomes an adult.
"Yes, but I don't understand the reason, and I always feel a little uneasy." Gu Liang said and looked at the big banyan tree that was getting closer and closer, the golden sunset, and he couldn't see any birds landing on the canopy.
Although the tree feels alive and vibrant, the tree is devoid of any birds, which makes it a bit lifeless.
There weren't many small animals in Gu Liang's jade bottle space, but she could occasionally see a few spirit insects eating spirit flowers and spirit fruits in her medicine field, as well as flying insects such as bees and butterflies.
According to common sense, this banyan tree occupies an area of hundreds of thousands of miles, and there should be an ecological cycle system within it, even if it disappears once a year in winter.
Tang Tang didn't think about it so much, she said, "Every day, there are monks who rest and stay here, and I haven't heard of anyone who will have an accident. When I first came, I thought the banyan tree was weird, but I came here more often and got used to it. ”
Gu Liang looked at the same door around him, they were all accustomed to it, and he didn't feel that the banyan tree was any different from other places, so he had to comfort himself in his heart and said, "Then I'll try to get used to it." ”
There are always some incomprehensible phenomena in the cultivation realm, such as the fact that there will be a small valley with a strong spiritual aura in a no-man's land where the aura is extremely poor, and perhaps this big banyan tree that hides in winter is also one of them.
As Tang Tang and Xi Weiming said, there were not only nine monks who chose to spend the night under the big banyan tree, but also other teams or individuals.
It was already dark, and the monks who were resting hung up their lanterns, and there were no less than a hundred lanterns in the thick bushes.
Tang Tang flew around the neighborhood and led the group to land on the shore of a small lake.
Without her words, one of the Earth Roots monks in the team waved his hand and built nine identical small houses for everyone to rest.
He was good at the formation path, and he consciously buried the spirit stones and array materials in the calculated position, and used the nine huts as the foundation to lay out the defensive and warning formations.
The rest of the monks meditate in small huts, or walk around the neighborhood or whisper discussions with their companions.
There are very few monks who have a heavy appetite, and there are not many monks in the Qiankun sect who learn to make spiritual food, and this team is full of Jindan real people, and rest is for them to meditate and breathe to restore the lost vitality.
On the shore of the lake, Tang Tang was very enthusiastic to popularize the common sense of hunting in the 100,000 Mountains to Gu Liang, "The night of the 100,000 Mountains is very dangerous, even if it is a Yuanying monk, he will not hunt demon beasts, unless it is a last resort." I don't know if it's the first time I'm here, but you have to keep it in mind."
The two sons of the Zhao family were also sitting on the stones on the shore of the lake, when the younger boy looked at Gu Liang unpleasantly, he listened to Tang Tang talk for two quarters of an hour, looked at the gap and said, "Senior Sister Gu Liang is amazing, even if she fights alone in the 100,000 mountains, she can be safe and sound, Tang Tang, why do you have to talk to her more"
Gu Liang smiled, ignored him, and said to Tang Tang sincerely, "Senior Sister Tang Tang, thank you." ”
Tang Tang waved his hand, not caring too much, "This is something that everyone knows." ”
Looking at the young man of the Zhao family again, Tang Tang said very seriously, "Senior Brother Zhao Ci, we are all fellow disciples of the Qiankun faction, and we should have one mind outside." You can't always provoke Senior Sister Gu Liang, you must know that she is not sorry for you, she does not owe you anything, she also has a temper. ”
Zhao Ci didn't have the face of a thick city wall, and when he was reprimanded by his junior sister, he was suddenly a little annoyed and angry.
But he would never scold Tang Tang back, and he didn't want to wipe Tang Tang's face, and vent his unhappiness on Gu Liang.
Therefore, he snorted heavily, glared at Gu Liang, and entered his room and locked the door, obviously angry.
Zhao quit leaving, and Zhao Bocai, another Zhao family monk sitting on the shore of the lake, got up and saluted Gu Liang, which could be regarded as an apology, "Senior Sister Gu Liang, let you see a smile." Ah Ci's best is cousin Zhao Lin, cousin was exiled because of you, he couldn't believe that his cousin would do that, so he spread his anger on you, not intentionally. ”
Gu Liang accepted this gift from him, but he didn't say that he didn't care, nor did he say forgiveness, he just looked into his eyes and said, "Do you think I am willing for Zhao Lin to be exiled, and I am also willing to be his punching bag"
The young man in black was rude and provocative in the store, she treated her body in the way of others, and beat the other party to the point where her hands were broken and she bowed her head to admit her mistake, but this was not the result that Gu Liang wanted.
Zhao Ci sneered all the way, Gu Liang asked herself if she didn't care about everyone who belonged to the Qiankun Sect, but asked her to get used to and forgive Zhao Ci for having nothing to do
Gu Liang is really not a bun, she will also be angry.
Zhao Bo's expression was a little unbearable, he lowered his eyes, avoided Gu Liang's gaze, and said ashamedly, "I'm sorry, it's our fault"
He couldn't stay any longer, so he got up and knocked on Zhao Ci's door.
There are no Zhao brothers on the shore of the lake, and the atmosphere has returned to normal.
"Senior sister's temper is quite good, not quite like a monk of the fire spirit root." Tang Tang winked at Gu Liang, playful and cute.
Gu Liang smiled, "I am a wood fire dual spirit root, not a single fire spirit root." Besides, what's the use of me being angry, he's my fellow disciple, I'm not going to punch him so hard that he doesn't dare to say it again."
"So Senior Sister has a good temper, huh" Tang Tang looked at the lake in front of him and stood up suddenly.
There was a faint blue light refracted from the bottom of the lake, shining on her face, which looked strange and strange.
Gu Liang followed Tang Tang's gaze and saw that there was a big dark blue fish ten zhang long in the lake that was slowly floating, and each of its scales was exuding a light blue glow, and the picture was beautiful and mysterious.
This is a fish equivalent to the strength of the Yuan Infant Stage, and I don't know how long it has been hidden in the lake, but it was hidden from the perception of the cultivators, and it was only discovered by them when it appeared at this time.
"How did it become like this" Tang Tang obviously knew the fish, she and Gu Liang stood side by side, their faces faintly a little vigilant.
Gu Liang has seen the atlas of countless rare birds and beasts in the world, and his understanding of sea beasts is not shallow, but he does not know what kind of fish this fish is. Hearing Tang Tang's self-talk, she looked sideways and asked, "Have you seen it?"
The other disciples also sensed the threat, and walked out of the hut one after another, and saw a big fish in the lake in the infancy stage, and immediately felt like a great enemy.
Tang Tang frowned, arranged for everyone to retreat and set up a formation, and said, "I first came to Kurosawa nineteen years ago, and I saw it in this lake."
"However, the one I saw at that time only had the strength of the foundation building period, and it was not so big, only more than three feet long. The smell of this fish is exactly the same as the one I've ever seen, and I will never forget this shiny scale once I have seen it. ”
Gu Liang looked at the little light in the distance, and saw the monk's retreat coming towards this side, and a small and delicate lilac lotus bud slowly grew from the tip of his right finger, and said in a deep voice, "Be careful, someone is coming, and the strength of the person who comes is not low." ”
Hunting in the 100,000 Great Mountains, the most dangerous thing is not the demon beasts, but the human monks.
Everyone also knew what Gu Liang meant, before the light fell, they had already formed a formation, even if it was a Yuan Infant Cultivator, it might not be without the power of a block.
They didn't feel the malicious intent of the lake fish, but its appearance seemed so strange, and the information revealed by Tang Tang was too shocking, and it was obviously unsafe to stay on the shore of the lake.
If it was an ordinary monk who saw this fish appear and recognized its strength, even if he didn't know the news that Tang Tang knew, he would jump the sword and flee for his life as soon as possible.
Gu Liang, Tang Tang and the others are inner disciples of the Qiankun Sect, and they can always hold one or two hole cards in their hands.
For example, the eight-rank teleportation jade talisman can be crushed to return to the Black Iron City in an instant, as long as they don't go out of the range of the Black Iron City within a radius of millions of miles.
Therefore, when they encountered this kind of situation that ordinary monks could not avoid, not only did they not panic, but they also planned to stay and watch the follow-up.
Feeling the breath of the lake fish, it is natural that he dares to run to the Yuan Infant Monk.
One is a loose cultivator in the Yuan infant stage, who is already very old, and still has a cane in his hand.
One was a Beast Controlling Sect monk in the early Yuan Infant period, he looked younger, with a handful of beautiful hair under his chin, and a squirrel squatting on each shoulder, which looked quite funny.
The two Yuan Babies both restrained their breaths and stood on the shore of the lake, the position happened to be one south and one north, vaguely competing and hostile.
In addition to these two, there was also a team of about ten people from the west, whose comprehensive strength should be low regardless of the strength of the Liang Nine people, led by a half-step infant physique man, staring at the fish in the lake with heavy eyes.
The four forces were afraid of each other, and there were also some monks with low strength who quietly came to the vicinity, but they didn't dare to get too close, just watched from a distance.
In the depths of the banyan forest, one after another small yellow-green lights lit up, but they were the eyes of the unknown monsters living in the banyan trees.
They leaped nimbly, standing densely on the branches of the trees on the shore of the lake, and did not look around, but only watched intently at the fish of the lake, as if waiting for something.
These little things were only as tall as arms, but their eyes were huge, their ears were as long as rabbits, and their tails were fluffy and large, almost equivalent to two bodies.
No one knows what they are, and no one dares to catch them.
The cultivators waited silently.
Tang Tang was born in Yuhuafeng, the Qiankun faction, and is the best at assisting, and is also good at all kinds of miscellaneous studies. I don't know what kind of secret technique she used, but she could hear the other team whispering in the soundproof barrier, and recounted to the others, "They came here to wait for the appearance of the lake fish, thinking that we have the same purpose as them, and are discussing against us. ”
"That Yuanying Scattered Cultivator should have also come here after knowing the news, and the one from the Beast Control Sect is probably similar to us, and they all happened to meet each other." After Tang Tang's voice fell, Gu Liang said.
All the cultivators didn't know that her divine sense was huge, and they only classified Gu Liang's exploration and knowledge of the two Yuan Babies as that she also knew some secret methods of peeping, and secretly had a little more awe of Gu Liang.
Xi Weiming frowned when he heard this, "There will never be a little demon beast in the banyan forest with strength beyond the foundation building stage, but it is in the Yuan Infant stage, which is very abnormal." I think it's better for us to stay away so as not to suffer from the fish in the pond. After all, our target is not this lake, but the demon beasts of Kurosawa. ”
"This is obviously an opportunity, even if there is danger, we are all carrying jade talismans and can crush them at any time, and we are not afraid." Zhao Ci said, his eyes shining, staring at the lake and unwilling to take his eyes off.
The rest of the monks also agreed with Zhao Ci's statement, except for Gu Liang, Tang Tang, and Ye Cang, the Earth Spirit Root Monk.
Xi Weiming's brows furrowed even deeper, he took a sword talisman in his hand, and looked at Tang Tang and Gu Liang, "Senior Sister Tang, Senior Sister Gu, what do you think?"
His cultivation is the highest among the nine, and his strength is also the strongest, and his age is not small, and he has a lot of knowledge. Tang Tang has been hunting in the 100,000 Mountains for only 20 years, but Xi Weiming has been hunting for nearly 50 years, and he has entered and exited the 100,000 Mountains countless times, and has experienced the most dangers.
Xi Weiming's ability to survive in many dangerous situations relies on his prudence and caution.
It doesn't matter if you don't get the opportunity, as long as you live, there will always be chance.
Before Tang Tang could speak, Gu Liang suddenly said, "The two seniors were transmitting to each other just now, and it seemed that they were discussing cooperation, but the seniors of the Beast Control Sect were not satisfied and rejected the scattered cultivation seniors. Now, the Sanxiu seniors are persuading the Beast Control Sect seniors, trying to convince him, but the Beast Control Sect seniors didn't pay attention. ”
When these words came out, everyone couldn't help but be shocked again.
But Tang Tang said again, "That team is a bit weird, they actually carry two unimportant burdens, both of which are in the early stage of the Dan." These two burdens are all cultivated by taking pills, and the realm is very unstable, and they seem to have eaten other things, and the qi and blood in their bodies are as strong as demon beasts. ”
At this moment, the Yuan Ying of the Beast Control Sect suddenly looked over, and a pair of eagle eyes swept over Gu Liang and the other nine people, looking at the dark jungle behind them.
He snapped his fingers casually, and Gu Liang and the others heard a roar of a demon beast and the scolding of the monk, and when they looked back, it was two monks who were chased and beaten by an upright orangutan demon beast.
This orangutan was obviously owned by the Beast Control Sect, and he didn't know how the two monks offended him, so he sent a demon beast to snipe him
The strength of the orangutan is extremely high, and the size is flexible and the magic power is supernatural, so it is easy to deal with two monks in the Dan stage. Before Gu Liang and the others could react, they were just stunned, and the two monks were seriously injured and captured by it, and they jumped towards their master in stride.
"They are using Jindan monks as bait" The nine people are not stupid, Xi Weiming saw the inside story at a glance, frowned and said, "I'm afraid that the fate of the lake fish is not a righteous inheritance"
Gu Liang looked at this scene and immediately remembered the opening of the fourth layer of the Evil God Temple of the Ice and Snow Realm Dark River Sting.
Five monks have died successively, and their two Jindan and three Yuan Babies in the later stage have all been destroyed, and the thousand steps can be paved, which can be described as bloody and cruel.
"Maybe it's a chance like the Evil God Temple." Gu Liang was not the only one who knew that the opening of the Evil God Temple required sacrificing lives, Tang Tang also learned some information, she looked at the two seriously injured monks who were randomly thrown to the ground by the orangutans, and said, "I'm afraid that two lives can only be exchanged for one place to enter." ”
There was a moment of silence.
They come from famous and decent families, so naturally they will not do the act of arresting and sacrificing people, and it is impossible for them to sacrifice themselves in exchange for quotas.
However, in the face of the opportunity that the Yuanying monk was also excited, he felt very unwilling to give up like this.
Xi Weiming's expression relaxed a little, such an opportunity that the evil needs to be sacrificed to get, the Qiankun Sect cultivators can't enter, and the danger can be reduced by one point.
At this time, the fish in the lake have already surfaced, and thousands of scales reflect the light blue brilliance at the same time, illuminating the surroundings as if they were a fairyland on earth. The little demon beasts on the branches let out the same admiration as people, and more small lanterns lit up from the depths of the banyan forest, and the branches of the little demon beasts were crushed.
Gu Liang suddenly felt a little strange, she looked sideways into the depths of the dark banyan forest, and vaguely felt that an eye full of malice was peeking this way.
This feeling
Somewhat familiar.
Like many years ago, she stumbled upon a glimpse of the Glass Pagoda with the Eye of Heaven and saw a behemoth in the void. Before she could see what it looked like, blood flowed from her eyes, and she almost became blind.
The current Gu Liang didn't open his heavenly eyes, he just looked at it casually with his naked eyes, and he felt that his eyes were sore and swollen, tears were stimulated to flow out, and his soul was also a little unstable.
What was in the depths of the Banyan Forest was far less terrifying than the behemoth seen in the Shattered Void, but it was not to be underestimated, and as long as she looked at it, her small consciousness could be obliterated by the other party in an instant.
"Don't look into the banyan forest, there's a great horror in it." Gu Liang reminded everyone softly.
She closed her eyes, and her hands attached to the wood attribute aura and pinched it a few times around her eyes.
Slowly opened his eyes, Gu Liang's vision was still blurry, and it was covered with a layer of blood.
When Zhao Ci saw it, he raised his hand and pinched the starting style of the magic trick, and said to Gu Liang, "You close your eyes." ”
Gu Liang closed his eyes obediently, feeling a warm and cool liquid covering his eyes and their surroundings, and a comfortable feeling came, making people feel like they were soaking in warm water in the sun.
"Alright." Zhao Ci said, "Open your eyes and try it." ”
Gu Liang's eyelashes blinked, and he looked at the location of the lake, and his vision really returned to normal.
She turned her head to look at Zhao Ci and said sincerely, "Thank you." ”
Zhao Ci's white and tender face was slightly red, but he still remembered the disharmony between himself and Gu Liang, snorted lightly, and muttered, "If you weren't my teammate, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to you."
Another tsundere.
Gu Liang smiled slightly, and when he saw Yuanying Sanxiu, who was standing on the south side of the lake, take out two blood-stained golden beads from the mustard seed bag and throw them at the big fish on the lake, his smile disappeared.
Those two golden beads were the monk's golden pill
With her divine sense, it is not difficult to find that the two golden pills still contain the soul of the monk, and they are actually the golden pills dug up from the living dantian with the method of evil cultivation
Tang Tang and Xi Weiming's expressions also changed suddenly, and all the cultivators looked at each other, and they all felt cold.
"It's her, I remember her, she is the first disciple of the evil cultivator Zhu Chenyi to drive out the door wall, Zhang Ying's famous human flesh Taoist woman, specializing in eating gold pills and babies" I don't know who exclaimed, revealing the identity of Yuanying Sanxiu.
The human flesh Dao Po named Zhang Ying glanced coldly in the direction where the exclamation was, jumped into the open mouth of the big fish, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The moment she vanished, a scream streaked across the night sky.
The Jindan monk standing in the banyan tree turned pale, he spat out a severed tongue, and fell to the ground with his head up, already out of breath.
The face of the Beast Control Sect Yuanying was also a little pale, and he saw that the huge gap in the fish's mouth had shrunk by half, and he hurriedly threw the two seriously injured Jindan monks into it.
The two golden pills were shattered in mid-air, and they fell into it without a sound. The fish's mouth had more than doubled in size, revealing a deep black hole inside, and a strong fishy smell could be faintly smelled.
Yuan Ying of the Beast Control Sect put the orangutan into the spirit beast bag, and sent the green-eyed squirrel on the left shoulder to jump into the fish's mouth to explore the way, and after a while, he cautiously took another red-eyed squirrel into the fish's mouth.
The big fish closed its mouth quickly and silently, and the scales all over its body were gorgeous, but no one would think that the lake where it was located and its vicinity was a fairyland.
A red light suddenly flashed in the sky, and it fell violently on the shore of the lake.
When the light dissipated, a cold and beautiful woman with a slender figure and a bright red outfit stood on the shore of the lake, she was the familiar Black Iron City Lord Nishang Zhenjun.
Immediately after that, several rays of light fell, and they were all Yuanying monks who were hunting demon beasts nearby, and they felt the fluctuations emitted by the big fish opening its mouth, and immediately rushed over.
In front of Nishang Zhenjun, all the Yuan Babies didn't dare to make a mistake, and they didn't even approach the shore of the lake. The Jindan monk team in the west withdrew from the distance, and only Gu Liang, Tang Tang and the other nine people walked towards the shore of the lake under the greeting of Nishang Zhenjun.
"Tell me what's going on here. I smell the smell of evil cultivators, it should be human flesh Taoist woman Zhang Ying, where is she" Nishang Zhenjun's voice was very cold, not at all like a monk with a single fire spirit root.
The cultivation of the nine people in the seat is the highest, and it is not the first time he has seen Nishang Zhenjun, so he immediately explained all the reasons for the matter, and there was no mistake.
The cultivators in the distance saw that Nishang Zhenjun was in person, and they all quietly breathed a sigh of relief, no longer worrying about the golden pill in their dantian, but instead focused on the opportunity of the fish's mouth.
Nishang Zhenjun was born in the Qiankun faction, with high strength, beautiful appearance, and the most decent person, and his character is not what the hypocrites of the Beast Control Sect can do.
...
