"I think of the so-called direct teams just now, looking at the expression of our team, my heart is cool. ”

Lu Zhu carried his sickle, which was taller than a person, and said with a comfortable face.

In fact, when the people of Mujinglu stepped onto the sparse side, the envious expressions of the other four team soldiers, anyone who was looked at like this, there was a sense of comfort that spread all over the body.

Mu Jinglu glanced at Lu Zhu, slapped the belly of the horse, urging the void to speed up.

After entering the mountain mound, it didn't go far before the pasture road divided the troops into two parts.

The five shis that were formally organized, except for the chief, were all left in the middle of Lingzuka Mountain, so that a group of soldiers could explore whether there would be traces of demons and tricks in the middle of Lingzuka Mountain.

As for the direct subordinates and the chiefs, there is a sharp weapon of war cavalry, and under the leadership of the pasture road, they went deep into the mound mountain.

Thirty-seven horses, except for the continuation of the pastoral path is the early stage of the orange order, the rest of the horses are above the yellow level, as for the five horses and the long ride, it is the middle stage of the yellow order.

At a sparse speed, even if the orange-level nightmare demon appeared, it would not be able to touch the corners of the clothes of more than thirty people on the pasture path. Of course, the premise is that it cannot be surrounded.

The mountain is full of demons, if it is surrounded, even if the speed is fast, I am afraid that it will be the life of the dumpling later.

Unlike the sword mountain seen on the pasture road, the mountain does not have the fairy aura that looks like flowers in the fog.

I don't know if this is the original case of Mt. Ridge Mosa, or because of the appearance of the Nightmare Demon, there is a faint black mist on the Mt. Ridge Mound, and occasionally there is a creaking and terrifying nightmare scream, which makes people shudder.

It is also because of the black fog that the vegetation on the mountain is not able to receive sunlight and looks sluggish. Without the sunlight, there is more of a lifeless appearance on the mountain.

Walking to the edge of the center of Lingzuka Mountain, the people on the pastoral path did not dare to come out more, for fear of attracting the attention of the nightmare, although for some reason, the pasture road all the way, did not see the nightmare.

"Bai Yan, why are you so familiar with Lingzuka Mountain?"

Bai Yan smiled lightly and said in a low voice, "The team leader can see that his subordinates are cultivating evil qi, right?" Mu Jinglu nodded suspiciously.

"Today, the place where the evil qi is the heaviest, except for the bottom of the Netherworld in the Northern Regions, is the Wufang Soul Mountain where the occasional demon appears. ”

"Wufang Soul Mountain?" asked Mu Jinglu suspiciously.

"I don't know the team rate?" Bai Yan was slightly surprised, and then explained in a deep voice: "Every time before the Nightmare Demon War, there is a Soul Mountain in each of the five directions, and there will be frequent tricks, and after the tricks appear, the Nightmare Demons will pass through the tricks and appear on the Xuanwei Continent. ”

"Which five soul mountains?"

"I know that, too. Lu Zhu took over and said: "Baoqi Mountain in the middle, Luofu Mountain in the south, Luoyu Mountain in the north, Taozhi Mountain in the east and Lingzun Mountain in the west. ”

Zhang Qiu on the side also nodded and said, "The Five Great Soul Mountains will not only be different before the Demon War, but they are also very weird. ”

"How weird?" Mu Jinglu became interested, the so-called Four Soul Mountains in this world happened to be the seat of the Five Ghost Emperors in the myths and legends of the previous life.

Zhang Qiu and Lu Zhu turned their gazes to Bai Yan at the same time, waiting for Bai Yan to speak carefully, after all, Bai Yan seemed to know more about Lingzuka Mountain than anyone here.

Bai Yan didn't refuse, and chuckled: "I think everyone knows that after the human body dies, the soul will exist for seven days. Normal spirits dissipate after seven days, and they are difficult for ordinary people to detect. ”

"And the few souls that do not dissipate after seven days will turn into demons and bring disaster to the world. ”

Mu Jinglu and the others nodded heavily.

"In the entire Xuanwei Continent, the number of people who die every day is innumerable. Except for the occasional monk who subdues demons and kills the demons, where do the rest of the demons go?"

"Five Soul Mountains?"

Mu Jinglu was a little surprised, and asked suspiciously.

In the myths and legends of the previous life, the reason why the ghost emperor wanted to build the dojo on the five mountains was to garrison the passage between the human world and the underworld on the five mountains, which mortals called the 'ghost gate'.

Since there is no underworld and no reincarnation in this world, why do the souls that have not dissipated become nightmare demons after they gather on the five soul mountains?

When the invasion of the Nightmare Demon in the First World War of the Three Thousand Years did not break out, there were many monks who went to the Five Great Soul Mountains, why didn't there be news that there were a large number of Nightmare Demons on the Soul Mountain?

"Hmm. Bai Yan nodded emphatically and said in a deep voice: "My subordinates have tried to travel between the major soul mountains before, and naturally they will occasionally encounter groups of demons. ”

"The subordinates are low-level, so they naturally don't dare to come to the depths of the mountain alone. But by chance, his subordinates had seen hundreds of demons gathered together in the middle and outer periphery. ”

"What are you doing when you gather together?" Mu Jinglu was slightly frightened, could it be that the demon had some way to hide, hiding in the soul mountain.

"Wait for the treachery to open. ”

"Secret??" another new term, Pastoral Road exclaimed in a low voice.

"Well, the Secret Trick!" Bai Yan nodded heavily and continued, "Unlike the Secret Door seen by humans, the Secret Door is black, the same size as the white Trick seen by humans, but the effect is opposite. ”

"You're saying that the Nightmare went to the legendary Nightmare Prison through the Secret Door?"

Mu Jinglu was first shocked, and then became more and more puzzled: "As far as I know, the nightmare that appears once in three thousand years does not seem to be the original nightmare demon on the Xuanwei Continent. ”

Bai Yan nodded, took over and said, "Naturally not. After going to the Nightmare Hell, they will fall into all kinds of purgatory. In Purgatory, there are countless demons. The Nightmare Demons who appear in Purgatory will continue to kill each other until their cultivation is upgraded to the point where they can regain their consciousness and are picked up by the High Cultivators who are waiting outside of Purgatory. ”

"What?!" Mu Jinglu stood up in disbelief and exclaimed, then remembered where he was, quickly crouched down, and asked in surprise, "If you can't fight, what will happen to the defeated Nightmare?"

"I don't know!" Bai Yan seemed to hesitate for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile and said.

"Huh?!" Mu Jinglu was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes flickered lightly and asked, "How do you know so much?"

"The treachery is before, I saw it with my own eyes. As for what happened after the secret trick, it was passed down from my ancestors. ”

Bai Yan replied firmly, but Mu Jinglu was a little unconvinced. At this time, Mu Jinglu's mind recalled what his mother Gu Xiu had said before.

"Your teacher?"

"Well, the Refining Demon Sect!"

"What, Refining Demon Sect?" Sun Bin, who had been listening attentively, suddenly exclaimed, "Didn't the Refining Demon Sect completely perish in the Demon War three thousand years ago?"

"Hehe, no. Bai Yan smiled bitterly and said, "My Refining Demon Sect has an unknown method, which has been continuing the bloodline of the Refining Demon Sect. ”

Belch. When it came to the secrets of other people's sects, Mu Jinglu and the others didn't want to ask too much, and they all nodded with a clear face.

"Since you know Mt. Tsukasa so well, can you take us to find a place where treachery may occur?"

Bai Yan looked at Mu Jinglu and the rest of the thirty or so people, and asked in a deep voice, "It's a very dangerous thing to get close to the trick, and the team is sure that I want to lead the way to investigate?"

"It's about the rise and fall of my human race, and I have to investigate. ”

Seeing that Mu Jinglu was firm, Bai Yan nodded emphatically, and then said: "Wherever the trick appears, the evil qi and death qi are very heavy. All we have to do is follow the direction of the evil and dead air. ”

Mu Jinglu nodded, feeling that what Bai Yan said was very reasonable, closed his eyes and sensed it slightly, and then led everyone to the west.

It's just that at the moment of turning around, Mu Jinglu glanced at Bai Yan with an uncertain expression.

Bai Yan's expression was indifferent, just a trace of fear in his eyes, which made Mu Jinglu feel very normal. It was just that after turning around on the pastoral path, Bai Yan's eyes flashed, and then returned to normal.

After walking about ten miles to the west, the group of Mujing Road bumped into the first demon army that had entered the mountain of Lingzuka.

A full half of the soldiers and horses, five centurions, fifty ten-commanders, and five hundred and five Tibetan perfect demons.

Five early orange tiers, fifty late red tiers. You're joking at me. Mu Jinglu looked at the demon army that was getting closer and closer to his team with a shocked expression, and his expression was solemn.

hasn't explored a trick yet, Mu Jing Lu doesn't want to conflict with the Nightmare for the time being, plus the team in front of him is not something that the thirty-seven people of Mu Jing Lu can deal with, Mu Jing Lu turned his right hand, and quickly took out Huang Ju's Wei Xiang for himself, and each person sent two copies. One for the soldiers, and one for their respective war horses.

"Team rate, I don't need it, my technique can simulate the breath of the demon. This team doesn't have the Orange Rank Late Nightmare Demon, so I can't tell if it's true or not. It was Bai Yan's turn, but Bai Yan frowned and refused.

"The exercises are really good!" said Mu Jinglu with a thumb and appreciation, and then smeared the fragrance on his body.

After everyone had a good journey, Mu Jinglu gave an order, and thirty-seven people took their own hands and stood up from their hiding places.

The nightmare of the five-hundred-person team was obviously stunned by the sudden appearance of the Mujinglu group, and after confirming that it was his own person (Wei), he didn't say much, and passed by Mujinglu and the others.

Although Mu Jinglu had confidence in Huang Ju in his heart, when a fierce group of demons passed by his side, Mu Jinglu panicked in his heart.

Not only Mu Jinglu, but Lu Zhu and other more than 30 soldiers were also frightened and trembled slightly.

"Team rate, even if you have this thing, can you stop having such a thrilling game? After the demon walked away, Lu Zhu's voice trembled and complained, and his face turned a little pale.

Even Sun Bin, who is usually calm and able to produce birds, sweated on his forehead, but Zhang Qiu was much better, his expression was calm, but his lips were a little dark.

"Train your guts, don't be vain. Mu Jinglu said heartlessly, looked up at the increasingly dim sky, frowned, and said softly: "Don't delay, the fragrance can only last for an hour." It looks like it's going to get dark soon, so hurry up and touch in. ”

"Yes!" the soldiers replied in a low voice, but their tone was very firm.

An hour later, Pastoral Road led the group to the corner of the Nightmare Patrol.

"It's too much for his own mother. Lu Zhu cursed in a low voice, his face was very ugly.

Mu Jinglu glared at Lu Zhu fiercely, signaling Lu Zhu not to talk nonsense. Seeing this, Lu Zhu hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand and kept nodding.

"Can you record it?" Mu Jinglu lowered his voice like a mosquito and asked Sun Bin softly.

Sun Bin didn't talk nonsense, raised his hands, made a twenty-seven movement, and then nodded heavily.

"Twenty-seven !!" Mu Jinglu whispered in some fright, "In an hour, the range we can investigate is estimated to occupy less than one-tenth of the center of the mountain ridge, plus the hinterland that we can't enter..."

"I'm afraid there are a thousand. Zhang Qiu's face turned pale, and he seemed to be unable to suppress the horror in his heart.

Mu Jinglu patted Zhang Qiu's arm and cheered Zhang Qiu up. Then he turned his head, looked at Bai Yan and asked softly, "Bai Yan, how quickly does this trick appear as a nightmare?"

"One in three hours. Bai Yan thought for a while and said: "The team rate doesn't need to calculate these, just record the color of the trick, the trick of all colors, the speed at which the demon can appear is fixed, and the generals all know it." ”

The meaning of Bai Yan's words is very clear, that is, the role of trickery, most of the people on the Xuanwei Continent know it.

Mu Jinglu didn't feel that what Bai Yan said and despised what he meant, even if he did, Mu Jinglu might not take it to heart.

Mu Jinglu nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Vigil in batches, rest here tonight, and talk about it after dawn tomorrow." ”

Everyone nodded, and fell silent with the worry that could not be returned between their brows.

As long as there are some cultivated demons, although they are not afraid of flames and sunlight, at night, the combat power of the demons still increases slightly. The most important thing is that the perception of the nightmare demon under the night will increase several times.

Compared to humans, even monks have a greatly reduced perception at night. The Pastoral Path is not stupid enough to touch the hinterland of the Nightmare at night.

At three o'clock, Mu Jinglu got up, woke up Bai Yan, and replaced Lu Zhu in shift.

When the time comes, it is the time when human beings are most sleepy, and the pasture road is not worried about letting others take turns. As for why it is called Bai Yan, the pasture path naturally has its own considerations.

"Brother Bai, since you know so much about the major soul mountains, why don't you compile the information you know into a book and hand it over to the imperial courts of various countries, you will definitely get a lot of rewards, and you may even become a hero. ”

The two looked at each other bored, and Mu Jinglu took the initiative to interrupt the awkward atmosphere.

Bai Yan glanced at the pasture path in surprise, but he didn't expect the pasture path to be so polite suddenly.

Bai Yan smiled lightly and bitterly: "I don't know the team rate. Although the exercises of the Refining Demon Sect are a little weird, they have never harmed the world, and they are not willing to be enemies of the major sects. ”

"Maybe it's also because of the difference in the Refining Sect that I was spied on by the Emperor Sect and wanted to take away the exercises of my Refining Sect, so that my Refining Sect was almost destroyed. ”

"If I reveal the news I know, the Emperor Sect will definitely find me and take away my practice of refining the Demon Sect. ”

Mu Jinglu was puzzled, and asked suspiciously: "The Emperor's Gate Exercises are already domineering, why do you still need to refine the Evil Sect Exercises?"

Bai Yan chuckled disdainfully: "The ambition of the Emperor Gate is not limited to the world's Kyushu?"

Mu Jinglu was stunned for a moment, and then shouted in shock: "Brother Bai means that the Emperor Gate also has thoughts about the Nightmare Prison?"

"If not, why does the Emperor Sect want to take away my Refining Demon Sect's Heart Method?" Bai Yan looked at me with a little hatred, and said fiercely: "My Sect's refining techniques are not so easy to learn, not only do they have very high requirements for qualifications, but cultivators and cultivators need to choose one in ten thousand miles. ”

"However, the Emperor's Sect Exercises can imitate the mental methods of all factions in the world, creating attack methods with the same effect. As long as I take away the exercises of the Demon Refining Sect, the disciples of the Emperor Sect will be able to imitate the Demon Refining Sect and completely restrain the demons. ”

"The Refining Demon Sect is so domineering, if it's convenient, can you tell me one or two?"

Bai Yan smiled indifferently: "It's not a secret, all factions in Kyushu know it." ”

"I practice the Evil Sect Exercises, and I can absorb the black mist after the death of the Demon Refining Body for my use. ”

"What!" exclaimed Pastoral Road again, his face full of disbelief.

"If this is the case, after cultivating the Sect of Refining the Demon Sect, entering the Nightmare Prison, wouldn't it be the path of invincibility?"

"Hehe, how can there be such a good thing. Bai Yan chuckled disdainfully: "The world only knows one and doesn't know the other. ”

"Everything has yin and yang, the ultimate of yin is yang, and the ultimate of yang is yin. Moderate refining of the black mist after the death of the Nightmare Demon can indeed assist in cultivation, but the refining is excessive..."

"How?"

"At the light of it, the flesh will not be able to bear it, and the meridians will be broken and die, and at the worst, it will be demonized by the demonic qi and become a strange nightmare. ”

"Nightmare?"

"It's a foreign body that doesn't exist in people, it doesn't exist in humans, it doesn't exist in nightmares. ”

The pastoral path was suddenly enlightened, and the more curious he became about the magical things on the Xuanwei Continent. It's just a nightmare, and there are so many things that have been spawned, I don't know what other overseas alien races are like.

Thinking about it, the long-necked country that he had seen before at the junction of Liangzhou and Yongzhou appeared in his mind.

"This will not be the case for the disciples of the Emperor Sect to imitate?"

"I don't know, it's not recorded in the teacher's classics. ”

Hearing this, Mu Jinglu nodded, and looked around again. There was no change for the time being, and Mu Jinglu asked curiously: "Since Brother Bai is afraid of being targeted by the people of the Imperial Gate, why do you want to join the army? The battlefield is dangerous, and we have to go all out at any time, won't your Sect's mental art skills be seen sooner or later?"

Bai Yan chuckled and said, "In life, who wants to live so hidden?"

"No matter how domineering he is, when I have my own strength, Kyushu is the king. Bai Yan said, his expression was full of firmness and confidence, and then he turned his head to look at the pastoral path, and chuckled with deep meaning: "What's more, following such a talented team leader, after growing up, as a team leader cronie, who will dare to touch me in the future?"

Mujing Lu was stunned when he heard this. What kind of logic is this? What do you see that I am so talented? Is it because of the lethality of my combat skills? Or is it because I am young?

"Hehe, thank you Brother Bai for your compliment. Mu Jinglu chuckled casually, as if warning Bai Yan and said, "I just hope that Brother Bai will not look away, and when the time comes, he will lose his wife and his soldiers." ”

The words of the pastoral path made Bai Yan stunned again, and he lost his wife and broke his soldiers?

Just as they were pondering the meaning of their words, there was a sudden commotion in the night.
