Zhang Tianduo sighed in his heart that it was a pity, he had found the balance between the lake and the true qi, if he was given a year and a half, he believed that he would be able to completely digest this worldly power, even if he didn't use the Heavenly Knock Divine Technique, Duan Kai was not his opponent, but unfortunately the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, after leaving here, I am afraid that the future life will not be easy.

With the deadline, Zhang Tianduo cherished the remaining time even more, he no longer talked to Duan Kai, and cultivated against time.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already dark, Duan Kai didn't know when he left here, and after the corners of Zhang Tianduo's mouth curled slightly, he continued to seize the time to eat the ball of true qi in his body.

A mouth-watering aroma rushed in, Zhang Tianduo opened his eyes and looked, but saw Duan Kai holding ten roasted oily roast chickens in one hand and a wine gourd in the other hand walking towards the lake, looking at his panting face, he must have quietly slipped out of Tianmen Fort and walked to the people.

"Boy, I'll do what I say, eat."

Zhang Tianduo walked out of the cold lake, and he was not polite, grabbed one and gnawed it.

There are only a few kinds of meals sent by Tianmen Fort every day, and he doesn't bring any changes for ten days and a half months, and he is a little sick to his stomach when he eats.

A roast chicken quickly got into the stomach, Zhang Tianduo grabbed the wine gourd, raised his head and drank a big sip of wine, and then took a long breath and said: "Life should be like this in the world, it's really fucking enjoyable." ”

ripped off another chicken leg, Zhang Tianduo opened his mouth and wanted to bite it, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Duan Kai on the side staring at the chicken leg in his hand with wide eyes, and swallowed saliva from time to time.

"You don't eat?"

"That's yours."

Zhang Tianduo smiled slightly: "I'll invite you to eat." ”

"Really?"

"Whoa." Pushing a roast chicken down in front of Duan Kai, Zhang Tianduo ignored him and buried his head in nibbling on the chicken leg in his hand.

Of the ten fat roast chickens, Zhang Tianduo ate three, Duan Kai was the main anti-guest, and one person did seven, and at the end he smashed his fingers, shook his head and said, "Two more will be almost." ”

Zhang Tianduo scolded secretly: "Damn, it's not enough for one person to eat seven, the whole big rice bucket." ”

After being full of wine and food, Zhang Tianduo continued to go down to the lake to cultivate, while Duan Kai lay lazily on the ground, pondering how to improve his cultivation.

Four days passed in a flash, and fifteen days of immersion made Zhang Tianduo's whole person feel like he had been reborn.

The female disciple who delivered the meal today did not deliver a meal, but a piece of clothing that could keep out the cold.

"Put it on, come with me, the elders want to see you." Duan Kai threw his clothes to Zhang Tiandao.

Zhang Tianduo rarely communicated with Duan Kai, and he didn't know anything about the affairs of Tianmen Fort, so he was curious: "Elder? How many elders does Tianmen Fort have? How big is Tianmen Fort? How many disciples are there? What is the ...... of Tianmen Fort?"

"Stop!" Duan Kai waved his hand impatiently: "Don't ask so many questions in one breath, I can't answer them." ”

"Okay, let's start with the first question." Zhang Tianduo was not in a hurry, he slowly asked questions one by one, Duan Kai also cooperated, and answered everything, and soon, Zhang Tianduo had a general understanding of Tianmen Fort.

Tianmen Fort is located in Shaanxi and Inner Mongolia at the junction of a snow-capped mountain, here the geography is remote, sparsely populated, the nearest village from Tianmen Fort is also a hundred miles away, there are a total of more than 800 people in the whole Tianmen Fort, of which 500 are disciples of the Men, and the rest are servants.

Tianmen Fort covers an extremely wide area, and there is a lot of land under the mountain that can be cultivated, because the disciples of the sect are forbidden to go out, these lands are all handed over to the servants who can enter and exit freely to cultivate and take care of them, and the daily expenses of the entire Tianmen Fort are maintained by these lands.

There are a total of two elders in Tianmen Fort, and the disciples of Tianmen call them Elder Wen and Elder Wu, and the two of them sit on an equal footing and jointly govern the entire Tianmen Fort.

Under the elders, there are ten core disciples, these disciples are all talented and intelligent, and their understanding is extraordinary, compared with ordinary disciples, they are not a little bit stronger, people like He Junyao and Duan Kai, although they are also one of the ten core disciples, they can only be ranked sixth and tenth.

In addition to the ten core disciples, there are more than thirty quasi-core disciples, their strength should not be underestimated, and the rest of the ordinary disciples are not fuel-efficient lamps, here the attainer is respected, as long as the disciples feel that they have grown, they can challenge the core disciples at any time, if they win, they can replace them, if they fail, there is no loss at all.

Tianmen Fort has two arrays of five skills and six arts, the so-called two arrays, refers to the Tianmen Great Array and the Ten Directions Great Array, these are the two sets of Qimen Great Arrays handed down by the ancestor Qi is Feng, the power is endless, it is the most powerful means of Tianmen Fort, these two sets of large arrays are in the hands of the two elders, Elder Wen is in the hands of the Tianmen Great Array, and Elder Wu is in the hands of the Ten Directions Great Array.

The five exercises refer to the five kinds of exercises that the disciples of the Tianmen Fort usually practice, one of which is the Shen Shen technique of the inner strength of the heart method, the second is the ten directions of true strength, the third is the method of a thousand miles and an instantaneous body, the fourth is the Tianmen Dragon Hanging Fist, and the fifth is the technique of Xuan Forbidden.

The five exercises can be practiced by disciples, but these exercises are so profound that it is not easy for ordinary disciples to master one or two, and only those core disciples or quasi-core disciples can master more than three kinds of exercises.

For example, Duan Kai mastered the three exercises of Shen Shen Technique, Thousand Miles and One Moment Body Method, and Tianmen Dragon Hanging Fist. And He Junyao mastered the three kinds of Divine Sinking Technique, Thousand Miles and Moments, and Xuan Forbidden Technique.

Don't underestimate these exercises, each of these five sets of exercises is broad and profound, and many people may not be able to fully master them in their lifetime.

The last six methods refer to the six kinds of Taoism, which are the magic technique, the corpse fixing technique, the corpse chasing and interrogation technique, the magic technique, the subduing technique and the corpse exorcism technique, these six Taoist techniques can be practiced by any disciple, but most disciples attach more importance to the five skills, so there are very few people who practice the six techniques.

Hearing this, Zhang Tianduo couldn't help but say: "If you Tianmen Fort are willing to come forward, why don't you just let the evil absolute run out, say something ugly, you will have to bear a lot of responsibility for the evil absolute breaking the seal." ”

Duan Kai glanced at him and said angrily: "How can the patriarch's testament be broken at will, if it were you, would you go against the patriarch's testament?" ”

Zhang Tianduo almost shouted the word "will", but when he thought about it calmly, the people of Tianmen Fort had been guarding the testament for hundreds of years, and it was really difficult for them to break this testament at once.

"The five exercises you just mentioned, the Shen Shen Technique, the Ten Directions True Strength, the Thousand Miles and the Heavenly Gate Dragon Hanging Fist, I have all seen it, what kind of exercises is the Forbidden Technique?"

"The forbidden technique can prohibit Gu techniques, Dao techniques and other spells, there is an invisible wall in front of you when casting, and you can ban the enemy's hands and feet when attacking, trapping the enemy, but the effective range of this technique is only ten meters, except for ......" Halfway through his words, Duan Kai suddenly remembered something, looked at Zhang Tianduo with a surprised face, and questioned: "Have you seen the Ten Directions True Strength and Divine Sinking Technique?" Don't lie to me, I can't be true to the ten directions, and I haven't practiced the Shen Shen technique in front of you, when did you see it? ”

"Hey, this is your lack of knowledge, ten no predecessors have been drifting outside for so many years, can you live alone? He took in a boy, although he did not accept him as an apprentice, but he passed on his two skills, Shen Shen Technique and Ten Directions True Strength. ”

"Really? Who is the boy-in-waiting? If he really learns these two skills, he can be regarded as a disciple of my Tianmen Fort. ”

"It's that Fang Longjian, you should have met."

"See Fang Long?" Duan Kai recalled, but there was no such a person in his impression, shaking his head, he pulled the topic to the Ten Innocent Monks: "The Lord of the Ten Hundred Castles is really, he has been displaced for so many years, and he doesn't care about the life or death of Tianmen Castle, and I don't think the people he taught are much better." ”

Zhang Tianduo sneered: "I've always been curious, what punishment will be given if a disciple of Tianmen Fort runs out against the testamentary teachings? ”

Duan Kai understood what Zhang Tianduo meant, if it was put in the past, he wouldn't dare to say it casually, but now that the testament has been broken, it doesn't hurt to say it: "Violating the testament is a very serious matter, once you run out, you will die when you come back." ”

"No wonder the ten seniors have been refusing to come back, hey, your punishment is actually not intimidating at all, will this person come back if he runs out? Besides, you can't get out, and no one is chasing you, so what kind of punishment is there a fart? ”

Duan Kai said disdainfully: "You don't understand this, the disciples of Tianmen Fort have to enter Tianhan Lake once every ten years, and use the cold air of Tianhan Lake to wash away the diseases and diseases caused by the cultivation of the Divine Sinking Technique, and only the Lord of the Ten Void Fort is an exception, I heard that the people who ran out before couldn't survive the torture once every ten years, so in the end, they still had to come back obediently to die." ”

Zhang Tianduo said secretly in his heart: "According to what he said, the ten predecessors must have found a way to expel the disease, well, maybe those weird wild vegetables are the antidote." ”

After being silent for a while, Duan Kai said again: "The departure of the Lord of the Ten Castles has made the position of the Lord of the Heavenly Gate Fort empty for many years, this time the ancestor's testament has been lifted, I believe that the two elders will not be indifferent, maybe ......"

As they spoke, the two of them walked through a courtyard and came to the top of the temple of Tianmen Fort.

Tianmen Fort is divided into five parts, on the left is the disciple's dormitory, from the mountainside all the way down, layer upon layer, a few meters into one, each room can live more than a dozen disciples. On the right is the servant's quarters, similar in style to the disciples' dormitories, but the number of houses is smaller, and the environment in the houses is not as good as the disciples' dormitories.

In the center is the front hall, which is also the place where disciples practice on weekdays, and it is very vast, and can accommodate 500 disciples to practice here at the same time.

After the front hall is the hall, the hall is the place of preaching and deliberation in Tianmen Fort, which can accommodate up to three hundred people, usually only those core disciples or quasi-core disciples can enter, and only when preaching, those qualified disciples will be allowed to enter.

Behind the hall is the backyard of Tianmen Fort, in addition to the snow in the backyard there is only a high wall, outside the high wall is an empty flat land, look carefully will find traces of artificial excavation, this is to prevent avalanches and deliberately excavated out of the flat land, there are always a few days every year, the servants have to clean the snow here, so as not to accumulate more and more snow.

Bypassing the flat ground, you can see a lonely city tower standing in the wind and snow, this is the most desirable place in Tianmen Fort, and it is also the resting place of the two elders. Behind the city tower, there is the forbidden place of Tianmen Fort, and it is also the location of Tianhan Lake, Tianmen Fort ranks the residences of ten core disciples and two elders in front of the forbidden land, and it can also be seen from the side how much Tianmen Fort attaches importance to Tianhan Lake.

There is Duan Kai, the core disciple, as a guide and commentator, along the way, Zhang Tianduo also knows the entire pattern of Tianmen Fort almost well, Duan Kai stopped talking, pointed to the majestic hall in front of him and said: "That is the hall of Tianmen Fort - Tianmen Treasure Palace!" ”
