Chapter Eighty-Four: Righteousness and Demons
Jiang Qin put a one-foot long branch on the counter and said, "Senior Sister Chen, this is the branch of the tendon root tree, do you see if it meets the requirements of the task?"
Senior Brother Jiang does things, of course I am relieved. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Senior Brother give me the identity token. Chen Qingqing said.
Jiang Qin handed over the token, and after handing over the task, Jiang Qin walked out of Wanjin Hall, sighed, and looked at the token in his hand. The task of collecting the tendon root tree just now only has forty contribution points, and if it weren't for the fact that this tree usually has a group of demon beasts with three layers of Qi cultivation period, I'm afraid it wouldn't even have this contribution point.
But if you want to exchange for those elixirs, you can casually contribute hundreds of points. If he didn't rely on elixir to cultivate, Jiang Qin wouldn't even feel the growth of his aura after meditating for a day.
After hanging the token on his waist, Jiang Qin Imperial Sword came to the Library Pavilion, he had already decided to take on the task of the Blood Red Palace. In this case, some necessary preparations should be prepared as early as possible.
The preparation that Jiang Qin said was nothing more than some life-saving back-up, and to put it bluntly, it was a means of escape. For now, his ** is stronger than a monk of the same level, and his speed is naturally faster, but if he encounters a monk in the foundation building period, it will not be enough. He wanted to find a secret technique in the library that would increase his speed, and for this he had already saved more than 400 contribution points.
Here you go again. When the old man of the Library Pavilion saw Jiang Qin coming in, he said with a smile.
See seniors. Jiang Qin bowed and said.
Well, get on in. By the way, I've been very interested in some martial arts lately, so you might as well take a look at them when you have time. The old man said.
The younger generation knows, thank you for the guidance of the seniors. Jiang Qin bowed down and walked in.
Jiang Qin had already found a place for the bookshelf where the secret technique was placed, and he saw him come to the bookshelf in a few steps, take out his identity token and shoot it. The streamer flashed, and the light shield broke, revealing a cyan jade slip. Jiang Qin picked up the jade slip, released his divine sense and looked at it carefully, then nodded with satisfaction, and walked quickly to the door with the jade slip.
When he walked to the front row of shelves, Jiang Qin stopped thoughtfully, then waved the token twice, picked up the other two pieces of jade slips, and walked out.
Senior, I want to copy these three jade slips. Jiang Qin said to the old man.
It is not allowed to use any spells in the Library Pavilion, otherwise the ban will be triggered and it will be instantly blown to ashes. Therefore, if you want to copy the content on the jade slip, you must let the manager do it, which is also a means to prevent the exercises from being copied in large quantities.
Well, you know the rules, the content on these jade slips can only be known to you, and if others know, the sect will give a heavy punishment. The old man looked at Jiang Qin and said.
The younger generation understands. Jiang Qin replied.
After the old man hummed, he took out three blank jade slips, which were quickly copied.
Jiang Qin took the jade slip, thanked him, and left the library pavilion.
On the way back to the cave mansion, Jiang Qin was playing with a piece of jade slip in his hand, this jade slip was nothing else, it was the martial arts cheats that the old man told him, in other words, these were mortal kung fu. The reason why he took this piece of jade slip was because he didn't need much to contribute, and secondly, because the old man seemed to have something to say, which made him a little curious.
The other two pieces of jade slips, one is a secret technique called "Heaven Breaking Strike" that he has long been looking at. Although this secret technique is about quickly depleting all the aura in the body in a short period of time to achieve the purpose of enhancing the attack power, it must be possible to use this method to escape with the sword.
Another piece of jade slip has a big name - "Barren Mountain Domain".
This name Jiang Qin had seen on the jade slip he sent when he got started, and it should be a place name or something. Since you plan to deal with the Demon Dao, you must definitely figure out the strength and location of the other party, so as not to plunge into the other party's lair.
After returning to the cave mansion, Jiang Qin began to check the jade slip of the barren mountain domain.
It turned out that Jiang Qin's location was a place called the Barren Mountain Domain, which was very large, divided into the Western Regions and the Eastern Regions, separated by a huge mountain range in the middle, and this mountain range was called the Barren Mountain. It is also with this mountain range as the boundary, the two camps of the barren mountain domain, and the righteous path and the demon path live on one side. Among them, the Devil's Way is on the left, and the Righteous Path is on the right.
On the side of Jiang Qin's righteous path, the Eastern Regions were divided into five countries, namely Wujiang Kingdom, Jingwen Kingdom, Ancient Chu Kingdom, Zhennan Kingdom, and Qiyuan Alliance.
The jade slip has relatively little introduction to the Western Regions where the Demon Dao is located, only saying that the Western Regions are divided into seven countries, and the area alone is larger than that of the Eastern Regions.
In fact, in ancient times, there was no distinction between good and evil, everyone cultivated the same way, and the same sect accepted disciples, even if there was a conflict, it was at most local and could not affect the overall situation. But later, some people's cultivation became more and more extreme, ranging from murder and blood sacrifice to extinction of the sect, and they were called the Demon Dao. The actions of the Demon Dao caused dissatisfaction among some other people, and they rallied against it, and these people were called the righteous path. And so a large-scale conflict broke out.
In the long battle, some rules were gradually formed, that is, the demon path is on the left, and the right path is on the right. Although both sides broke through the opponent's defense line and penetrated deep into the opponent's territory, they were finally seriously injured by the strong counterattack of the other party who reacted. Therefore, gradually the two sides formed a tacit understanding that they would not enter each other's territory on a large scale, but the sporadic infiltration and harassment have never stopped.
The two camps set up three major battlefields in the barren mountains in the middle, namely the Wujiang Kingdom where Yanzong was located, the Jingwen Kingdom where Haoran Pavilion was located, and the Ancient Chu Kingdom where Huangshamen was located. Among them, except for Yanzong, who dominated Wujiang Kingdom, the other sects were only the largest sects in their country, and after integrating the forces of other sects in the country, they held the battlefield.
In fact, there is no specific standard for the division of righteousness and demons in the eastern and western domains. For example, in the Eastern Regions on this side of the righteous path, there are also people who do blood sacrifices, and there are also people who practice ghost path and corpse path exercises. The Western Regions where the Demon Dao is located are not all cultivators of demonic skills, and there are also those who seriously cultivate the Five Elements Exercises. But after these people go to the battlefield, they will still fight for their side, instead of using exercises to draw boundaries. The current barren mountain region is more like a battle between two countries, and has nothing to do with anything else.
The jade slip also mentioned that because the Zhennan Kingdom and the Seven Plains Alliance, where the Ancient Dao Gate is located, do not border the barren mountains, but the disciples of the Gate must be sent to participate in the battle, otherwise the three kingdoms on the front line will open their mouths, and the people who let go of the Demon Dao will drive straight into the two countries. Therefore, the sects of the Ancient Dao Sect and the Seven Plains Alliance will lose a lot of manpower every year, and there is no way to do it.
In terms of overall strength, the power of the Demon Dao is slightly stronger than that of the Righteous Dao, but this strength has not yet reached the overwhelming level, so the two sides have been deadlocked. There is a small battle in three days, and a big battle in five days.
After reading this piece of jade slip, Jiang Qin took out the piece of jade slip of "Heaven Breaker" and looked at it. This secret technique is not complicated, it is just a special running route of some aura, so Jiang Qin quickly wrote it down, and the rest is to practice more.
In the end, there is the jade slip that records the martial arts of mortals, to be honest, Jiang Qin doesn't think that these things can play any role in him now, because whether it is strength or speed, he is much stronger than mortals.
But as he went deeper, Jiang Qin's idea was a little shaken. Perhaps the body of a monk is much stronger than that of a mortal, but not necessarily in terms of creativity. Some of the gifted mortals suffered from the lack of spiritual roots, unable to step into the path of cultivation, and had to turn their energies to other aspects, and this is how martial arts were born.
Perhaps martial arts are not as powerful as exercises, but not necessarily in terms of control of the body. For example, the light skill called "Tiyun Zong" that Jiang Qin is reading now can make mortals change direction in the air without any support, and when practiced to the extreme, they can change seven times in a row.
Flying is as easy for monks as walking, but before the Jindan period, they had to use flying spirit weapons to fly, and only after forming the Jindan can they fly against the wind, which is also a characteristic of the Jindan monks. However, this kind of light work can achieve a short period of time, although the time is not long, and the load on the body is also large, but it is enough to prove the wisdom of mortals.
Jiang Qin's eyes lit up as he looked at this jade slip, with these, it was enough to make his chances of survival a little bigger.
While being happy, Jiang Qin couldn't help but guess the intentions of the old man in the Library Pavilion. He had already heard from Chen Qingqing that there were two elders of the Jindan period in the Library Pavilion at any time, and the old man was one of them, named Jin Duo, who was a senior elder of the Ancient Dao Sect, and was usually more kind to the juniors, often giving pointers, and had a high prestige in the door.
After thinking about it for a long time and having no clue, Jiang Qin simply put this question behind him. With the cultivation of the other party's Jindan period, it is useless to go to his place, and even if there is, Jiang Qin has no room to resist.
In this way, time passed while Jiang Qin practiced "Heaven Breaking Strike" and practiced the martial arts of mortals.
One day half a month later, a loud noise came from Jiang Qin's cave mansion, followed by Jiang Qin's curse: This aura is really in the way! I've practiced it several times and it's still like this!
It turned out that in the process of practicing martial arts, Jiang Qin's aura always came out to get in the way, causing him to either not move in place, or his strength was too large, which affected the integrity of his moves, and the effect of using it was greatly reduced.
In fact, this can't be blamed on the aura, it is completely due to Jiang Qin's habits. He is used to keeping his aura running at all times, which is also his practice of always being vigilant, because in this way, he can react at any time if something goes wrong.
The problem lies here, some martial arts have some special movements, but Jiang Qin always can't do them well because of the operation of the aura when doing these movements. However, in these days of practice, he has already gained some experience, and I believe that with more practice, he can solve it soon.
After Jiang Qin drove the dust in the cave out of the cave, he straightened his entire robe. Suddenly his brow furrowed, for he felt that a man was flying towards his cave, someone he was not good at dealing with.
After a while, a woman's voice sounded: Senior Brother Jiang, are you there? Master asked me to come and see you.
Thank you Master Mu Ling and Senior Sister Duan for your concern, I'm fine. Jiang Qin returned to the Dao, and it turned out that the person who came was Duan Min.
The master asked me to see you and take you to meet her. Duan Min said.
Senior Sister Duan, do you know what Uncle Mu Ling is looking for me? Jiang Qin asked.
Little sister doesn't know. Duan Min replied.
