Chapter 91: The Secret History of Rashomon
This shock wave full of poisonous gas was so strong that the two of them did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and they ran for dozens of miles before stopping.
Adjusting their breathing, the two looked at each other and laughed after a moment of silence.
At this moment, a bright moon climbed out of the top of the mountain, illuminating the wild land like daylight, blinking playfully with a little starlight, and it was peaceful.
Compared with the world covered with poisonous fog in front of it, this place is already a fairyland-like place, but in this huge forest, you can still vaguely hear the roar of demon beasts.
The two of them came back to the foot of Juling Peak, climbed the cliff to the entrance of the cave, and the skywing horned eagle beast seemed to be a little excited when it saw the two returning, and the huge bird's head stuck to Chen Jin's body and rubbed it non-stop, and its sharp beak opened and closed and whispered softly.
Chen Jin gently patted the horned eagle beast with his hand, looking extremely loving.
Xu Ning looked at the intimate scene of this bird alone, and said: "There is this bird that flies as fast as a meteor catching the moon, why don't you just let it take us to the Demon Wind Mountain Range, it can also save a lot of trouble." ”
Chen Jin smiled slightly and explained, "The demonic qi of the Demon Wind Mountain Range is too strong, if this horned eagle beast takes us there, it will definitely be polluted by the demonic qi. ”
Xu Ning nodded and said yes, this bird is not a human after all, once it is polluted and eroded by demonic energy, it will not be discharged, and it must be harmed. In the long run, his temperament will definitely change greatly, and it is not necessary to become a fierce and violent bloodthirsty demon beast.
Chen Jin said again: "Another point is that although the Sky Wing Horned Eagle Beast is an extremely powerful and ferocious bird, it is still much worse than the demon beasts near the Demon Wind Mountain Range in terms of rank, and it is extremely easy to expose the target when flying in the air, once it is entangled by those demon beasts that can fly, then there is only a dead end." ”
In the past two days, Xu Ning had not encountered any demon beasts in the air, and when he heard Chen Jin say this, he felt that the Demon Wind Mountain Range was far more dangerous than his imagination, and he couldn't help but add a little admiration to this senior brother who was guarding the Demon Suppression Tower alone.
The two of them walked through the corridor to the council chamber, where the red light flowed, and the cave seemed to be brighter than during the day.
Xu Ning looked at the red crystals on those stone walls, and was also very surprised: "I don't know what kind of artifact it is, it can emit such a strong red light." ”
"These stones are red crystals from the mines of the Feldspar Valley in the east of the Wild Lands." Chen Jin explained to him, "I didn't buy these red crystals for lighting, the main reason is that this cave is too deep, and there is natural turbidity in it, and this red crystal can purify the air and absorb poisonous miasma. ”
Xu Ning was very curious, so he walked under the stone wall and took out a red crystal in his hand to observe it carefully, and felt that this stone was very light, the whole body was crystal clear, and it was very beautiful.
Chen Jin looked at him with an intoxicated look on his face, and said with a smile: "In this wild ancient city near Dongzhou, every household has to buy some and put them in the house to drive away evil things and evil spirits, especially young girls, and process and carve this thing into necklaces and bracelets, and wear them on the body as jewelry, which is really beautiful and has the effect of purifying the heart and mind." ”
Xu Ning's heart moved when he heard this, and he suddenly remembered a yellow figure, and his face was suddenly filled with happiness.
"But I don't know where this feldspar valley is located, I want to buy a few to carve, and I can pass the time when I have nothing to do." Xu Ning said, looking at the red stone in his hand, and with a slight stroke of his finger, a nick appeared, but it was not broken.
Chen Jinyi waved his hand: "This is not a valuable thing, if you want to take a few directly, the Changshi Valley is also hundreds of miles away from here, next time I go to the Wild Ancient City, I will take you to take a look." ”
Xu Ning was overjoyed in his heart, and remembered that on the night when he fought with Ma Hong in the Barbarian Palace, Wu Tu, the prince of the county, killed Beichentang, and he couldn't figure out the origin of this person's martial arts, if he went to the Barbarian Ancient City again, he would have a chance to see him again.
After thanking Chen Jin, he put Hongjing back first, sat down in front of the stone platform, and saw that his senior brother had already made a fire to barbecue meat, and he didn't know what kind of demon beast meat was roasted, and he hurriedly walked over to help.
This wild place not only has animals thriving, but also countless exotic plants, and this pile of firewood used for barbecue is a strange wood, not only there is no smoke, but the meat roasted also greatly increases a lot of good taste.
Xu Ning took the roasted beast meat to the stone platform and divided it into small pieces with a knife, and watched Chen Jin take out some fruits and vegetables from the ring space, and the dinner was quite hearty.
Xu Ning was still feasting as always, and soon the table was swept away by him.
Chen Jin was not surprised to see a lot, thinking that he was just an ordinary person with an unusual appetite, where would he think that Xu Ning's cultivation of the Thousand Faces Heavenly Demon Technique was because each demon beast could only be devoured once, and in order to improve the speed of cultivation, he could only rely on ingesting the flesh and blood on the demon beast to reproduce the qi, and another set of mixed yuan vajra exercises also had great requirements for the strength of the physical body, and the flesh and blood on the body of this demon beast could replenish the energy consumed by the body due to cultivation.
After dinner, the two sat down together and chatted again.
It is also strange to say that Xu Ning and Chen Jin were originally people who were not good at words, and sometimes they seemed a little withdrawn and arrogant. But it is these two seemingly unlikely people who have become acquainted in just two days, as if they have known each other for many years without any sense of disobedience.
Since Xu Ning came to Tongtian Peak, except for Bai Shenyu, he has a close relationship with Long Tian, and he is usually a loner, only caring about cultivation and not asking about other things. This time, I joined Fengyuntang and came to this wild place, and I heard a lot of strange and strange things in the small courtyard of Zhenmo Mountain during the day, and I was also very curious about the origin of this Rashomon.
Just take this opportunity to ask Chen Jin for an explanation.
Xu Ning went straight to the point and said: "I originally thought that Rashomon was just an ordinary force, and the strength of the martial arts cultivation with so many strong players was proud in Dongzhou, but I didn't expect it to be related to here. ”
"The Soul Continent is the world of martial cultivators, and Rashomon seems to be powerful when it develops now, but in fact, it has long been hollowed out, and it has no prestige and no strength."
Chen Jin's understatement was like a thunderclap in Xu Ning's ears, and Chen Jin continued: "Thousands of years ago, when Rashhomon was just founded, it was called the Demon Suppression Hall. The Demon Suppression Hall has never been in the world, independent of the world, and there are only four people in the sect now? ”
"Four people?"
"Well, but these four people are the four most powerful martial artists in the Soul Continent, and their strength can be described as such, it is not impossible for these four people to join forces to destroy the entire continent." Chen Jin looked at Xu Ning with a look of surprise, and said slowly, "Actually, I also saw these from some ancient books in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, whether they are apocryphal or whether they are exaggerated, I am not sure, you don't have to take it seriously......"
Xu Ning hurriedly said, "No, Senior Brother Chen, just keep talking, I'm quite curious." ”
Chen Jin smiled, and then followed the words just now: "You have also seen in the past two days, this Gathering Spirit Peak and the Demon Mountain Demon Mountain Demon Mountain Magic Array are all real, and it is absolutely impossible to create them without possessing the divine power of a creator. Regarding the battle between gods and demons that took place tens of thousands of years ago in the Soul Continent, you must also know something from the old man, right? ”
Xu Ning nodded, he had indeed heard it from his father and the elders of the clan when he was a child, and thought it was just a story.
It is said that tens of thousands of years ago, the demon clan ravaged the continent, and the god race, which has the ability to create gods of heaven and earth, had a war with these destroyers, and finally defeated the demon and sealed its soul in a secret place, while the surviving demon clan was gradually weakened and finally unable to fight against humans, and retreated into the darkness beyond the five continents of the soul continent.
Seeing him nodding, Chen Jin continued: "After the battle of gods and demons, tens of thousands of years have passed, and the legendary gods have gradually disappeared, it is said that they went to find a new world, and before they disappeared, they passed on their powerful abilities to human beings, and human beings have continuously evolved into various different cultivation methods on the road of learning, which is the martial arts we are cultivating now." Thousands of years ago, the demon clan resurrected again, intending to rescue the imprisoned demon soul, and at this time, four powerful martial cultivators appeared, and when the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, they once again repelled the demon clan and held the magic circle that sealed the demon head. ”
When Xu Ning heard this, there seemed to be a bright light in his mind, and he hurriedly asked, "Could it be that the magic circle that seals the soul of the Demon King is the Demon Suppression Mountain?" ”
"Exactly!" Chen Jin's face was solemn and said: "If this Demon Mountain is not created by heaven and earth, it is impossible for it to be created, and I am even more surprised than you when I see this kind of scene for the first time." ”
Xu Ning scratched the back of his head a little embarrassed.
"It's a bit far, I'll get to the point." Chen Jin smiled and said, "After those four powerhouses established the Demon Suppression Hall, I don't know when any of the descendants moved their headquarters to Tongtian Peak in Dongzhou, probably because nothing major has happened in so many years. Because there is the most quintessential heaven and earth treasure in the world, it has become the place where the elite is selected and the master is cultivated. ”
Xu Ning was thoughtful, and Chen Jinyi said in the end: "It is only a few hundred years of history for the Demon Suppression Hall to be changed to Rashomon, and then Rashomon will gradually become involved in the entanglement and struggle between the five continents, and in order to increase its strength, it will continue to absorb personnel." It's just that the number has increased, but the strength is nothing compared to some forces on the five continents, especially in Zhongzhou. ”
"Isn't Rashomon still here taking on the task of protecting the array?"
Chen Jin thought for a while, and simply let go and said, "I have already regarded you as a confidant now, and I am not afraid to say it." The reason why I am still here to protect the formation is also my Rashomon's own selfishness, first of all, this Gathering Spirit Peak is because there is a reason to protect the array, and other forces dare not find an excuse to compete with my Rashomon, which is to commit public anger. Moreover, the current Rashomon has begun to infiltrate other forces, and Sun Yuan's head is already weak, and the establishment of Fengyuntang here is also to secretly cultivate strength, in case the unexpected can turn the tide. ”
Xu Ning was silent, he was not too old, naturally it was difficult to think through this kind of intrigue, but he just felt a little heavy.
Chen Jin saw his eyebrows tightly locked, and said: "Actually, it's nothing, last time you struck hard at the Dragon and Tiger Society that suppressed the head of Sun, the sect has been much cleaner." ”
"That'...... What is the origin of the Thorn Dao Alliance? Xu Ning's face was solemn, and there was more anxiety on his face.
"The Assassins? Could it be that you're talking about a white sunken fish...... Senior Sister Bai? ”
Xu Ning looked up and saw Chen Jin's pale face, and there was a trace of bitterness at the corner of his mouth.
"The Bai family's thorn alliance is classified into Rashomon, in fact, it is a kind of cooperation that is each other's horns, when it seems to be calm today, there is actually a hidden crisis, the major family forces are in the game, these hundreds of years, the world's warriors are all fighting in secret, and the volcano will eventually erupt, and no one can be alone."
Chen Jin is extremely far-sighted, and it is clear that he is not an ordinary child of an ordinary family, if it is an ordinary martial cultivator, it is impossible for him to say these truths and opinions with his current knowledge.
Xu Ning faintly felt that the Senior Brother Chen in front of him had a great background.
"As for your relationship with Bai Shenyu......"
Chen Jin's mouth suddenly came out of this sentence that made Xu Ning very embarrassed.
