Section 42 The Origin of Luofeng Town
In a brightly lit room, Shen Tong sat cross-legged on the couch and ran the exercises, constantly introducing the aura in the void into his body, enhancing his divine sense and cultivation.
This is a room with simple furnishings, few objects but a very delicate feeling, whether it is the bronze lampholder in the corner, or the bottles and jars on the shelves, they are just right to let the range of sight have objects to view, there will be no monotonous feeling. In the center of the table near the window, smoke rises from the moire plate stove, and with the fresh air blowing in from the window, the whole room is filled with the smell of sandalwood, making people feel very calm and comfortable from the inside out.
As for the view from the window, it is obviously even more chic.
Although the small courtyard outside the window is not large, it is bounded by bamboo and cypress, supplemented by various flowers, making this quiet courtyard look full of life. In particular, there is a spring in the corner of the hall, constantly bubbling out of the gurgling water, along an artificially dug path, twisting and turning around those green plants and flowers, actually making this small courtyard, more rare sense of hierarchy and secluded meaning, its layout is really original.
I don't know how long it took, Shen Tong woke up from his cultivation, took a deep breath of the sandalwood air, and the slightly depressed expression in his heart gradually disappeared. His eyes immediately fell on the scenery outside the window, and the whole person fell back into deep thought.
It's been a while since he came to Luofeng Town, and after knowing the responsibilities he needs to undertake, Shen Tong is also completely relieved. In fact, thinking about it, with his low cultivation, he has not even been able to learn the Five Elements Spell, so how can he take on any heavy responsibility?
For such a complete idleness, Shen Tong was quite satisfied, if it was a busy work such as a deacon, it would have an adverse impact on his plans.
Shen Tong, who took a long breath, couldn't help but think about the news he heard from the principal Li Zhen a few days ago, and had a deeper understanding of the Luofeng Town he was in now.
This place, which was originally thought to be a border town in Shen Tong's imagination, actually exists far beyond his imagination, and its importance is also very amazing. I don't know when the space crack in the Storm Mountain Range has become a little unstable, it seems that the distance between the two worlds of the underworld and the spirit world is close to each other, and the gravitational attraction between each other has acted, resulting in some places and interfaces that are more forced.
Just like here in the Storm Mountains, I don't know when it started, but from time to time there will be some spatial cracks, opening up the passage between the underworld and the spirit world.
These spatial cracks are a disaster for the monks of the spirit world, once they are sucked into the cracks, they will be poured into the body by the Huangquan spiritual energy of the underworld, and become a ghost that has lost its divine sense. However, these passages have no effect on the ghosts of the underworld, and after they come to the spirit world, they can not only absorb the spiritual energy to increase their cultivation, but even the flesh of monks and ordinary people will also become the meat of these ghosts.
In this way, this area of the Storm Mountain Range can be described as full of gloom and terrifying, and for a long time, in this area of hundreds of thousands of miles, people and animals have been harmed, and the lives have been bloodbathed.
And this place, as the control area of Tianxing Valley, the monks in the gate naturally would not watch the ghosts and things go unpunished, and people and animals suffered, so they also sent a large group of monks to encircle and suppress this place. And because the distance between the spirit world and the underworld is too far away, the spatial crack is not stable and firm, so the ghosts that can reach this place are all the lowest existences in the underworld, and there are not even ghosts equivalent to the foundation building period.
But the troublesome thing came later, these spatial cracks were caused by the suction between the interfaces, not to mention the monks of the Jindan stage, even the terrifying existence of the Yuan Infant Stage, and they were powerless to do anything about the terrible situation caused by the power of this interface. In other words, the low-level ghosts of the underworld can enter the spirit world through these cracks in a steady stream, but these ghosts don't even have consciousness, they just act on instinct, and naturally they don't know what they are afraid of.
In this way, a very troublesome situation has formed here in the Storm Wind Mountains, and the inexhaustible ghosts are constantly pouring into the spirit world, which is really annoying.
As for those high-level cultivators, they could naturally easily eliminate these ghosts, however, not to mention the time and effort, there was no complete solution at all, and after a long time, they naturally complained. Later, in desperation, Tianxing Valley set up a defensive and forbidden large array "Shangqing Absolute Demon Array" here in Luofeng Town to protect this range of hundreds of miles, and the sky-high stone pillar that Shen Tong saw before was the eye of the "Shangqing Absolute Demon Array".
It is said that this array is a simplified version of the Heavenly Star Valley Sect Protector Array Five Elements Annihilation Yuan Array, not only does it cover an area that I don't know how many times, but its defensive ability is also greatly weakened. Of course, the consumption of spirit stones by the formation is also countless times smaller, otherwise, even if Tianxing Valley is wealthy, it really can't afford such consumption. Of course, although this formation is a simplified version, it is more than enough to protect Luofeng Town. Over the years, I haven't heard of any ghosts entering the battle to hurt people.
In addition to this magic circle, on that stone pillar, it is rumored that there is also a peerless master of the Golden Pill Stage of the Heavenly Star Valley sitting here, in case anything happens.
Of course, this arrangement is just to protect the safety of Luofeng Town, so that the people here have a safe place to stay. The reason why this place is really becoming more and more prosperous is that in order to control the number of ghosts here and maintain the safety of this area, the high-level monks of Tianxing Valley issued a task of exorcism in the door for the disciples in the Qi cultivation period in the door to exchange for precious materials and resources.
However, after a Jindan Stage elder in the Heavenly Star Valley discovered that the Yuan Core condensed from these ghost creatures could be used as the main material to refine into a Yin Yin Pill that enhanced the cultivation of Qi cultivation stage cultivators, this place became a crowded place overnight. Whether it is a monk whose cultivation is stuck in a certain bottleneck, or those whose qualifications are not outstanding, in order to break through the bottleneck or reduce a lot of penance time, they all flock to this place, hoping to exchange the Yuan Core for the Yin Immortal Pill and make their cultivation improve rapidly.
As a result, Luofeng Town, which was originally only a hundred households, expanded rapidly, and with the increase of monks, all kinds of shops also rose. However, in just a hundred years of development, it has formed a scale that is not weaker than that of ordinary cities, forming such an excellent frontier fortress-like existence.
And in such a place, all kinds of talismans, combat armor and spiritual weapons, cultivation techniques and secret techniques, and various auxiliary medicines have naturally become the most popular things, which is also the reason why the major monk families basically have shops here, after all, the larger the family, the greater the expenses, and the more resources will be needed, so as to form a virtuous circle and cultivate more monks.
Of course, the principal Li Zhen did not tell Shen Tong in such detail, after all, she was a mortal, and what she knew was still limited, and a lot of the content was seen by Shen Tong from all kinds of information collected from various shops.
These days, he has almost run all over the shops in Luofeng Town, large and small, buying and looking through almost all the materials he can buy, and he has exhausted all the spirit stones in his Ruyi bag. Except for the four medium-grade spirit stones that had lost a lot of spiritual power, Shen Tong at this moment could be regarded as destitute.
Shen Tong let out a long sigh when he thought of this, his divine sense floated into the Ruyi bag on his waist, and he saw a bunch of detailed maps and regional chronicles and other things in the corner. Although there are many introductions to the terrain of the Storm Mountains, and there are many descriptions of the characteristics of the Netherworld, the information about the underworld that he is most eager to know is that there is no information about the underworld.
I don't know if it's because no one cares about these at all, or if no one really knows, anyway, Shen Tong didn't gain anything at this time.
This really made him depressed, could it be that he couldn't wait until five years later to go to the library to find out what he wanted? But so much time has passed, and he still doesn't know where his wife's soul body has gone, and if he waits for another five years, he doesn't know what the situation will be, so how can he not make Shen Tong very anxious? After thinking about it, he finally made up his mind to go to the Storm Mountain Range to take a look, no matter what, he wanted to go and see for himself what was going on with that spatial rift, if it was really a person from the spirit realm, couldn't he go to the underworld from here?
Even if the physical body can't go, can't the divine consciousness go over? There is no reason why the ghosts of the underworld can come, but the people of the spirit world can't go!
Just as Shen Tong was pondering here, a crisp shout came from outside: "Young Master Ping, please go to the shop in front of you." ”
This shout also completely interrupted Shen Tong's train of thought, making him frown.
