Chapter 55: New Fragments
Jiang Yun saw the real demon rift for the first time.
It was a huge crack more than 100 meters long, floating in mid-air out of thin air, surrounded by hollowed-out mountains.
On one side of the mountain, there is a circle of stairs and a passage that has been carved out to lead to the outside world.
The crowd came in through the passageway.
This huge fissure, black in the middle, glowing with a dark red light, was still expanding in a regular, slow, downward contraction.
Four chains, from all over the depths of the mountain, pierced into this demonic chasm. At the end of each chain, there is a stone tower built out of the mountain. According to the introduction, these stone towers were built by the monks with the assistance of many forces when the White Dragon Temple was just established, and there were many formations dedicated to banning evil demons. In each stone tower, there is a high monk of the Ming Realm stationed all year round, contributing his own strength to suppress this demonic rift.
Of course, this huge magic sealing array can be activated not only by relying on manpower. The four Ming Realm monks who are guarding here are more likely to play the role of commanders. And what really worked was the aura furnace under the hollowed-out mountain.
Under the leadership of Jing Guang, Jiang Yun and a group of monks, each holding a wheelbarrow, dumped the spiritual energy ore filled in it into the furnace below.
Every year, there is a special team to transport spiritual energy ore to the mountain to maintain the existence of this sealing array hidden inside the mountain. The White Dragon Temple itself bears most of it, and at the same time, all external forces will also provide support, especially the government.
This is also the reason why the reputation of the sect of the White Dragon Temple in Wu is so grand. Since their establishment, they have not been an ordinary sect, they have been established with the responsibility of suppressing evil spirits, and they have always adhered to this mission for hundreds of years.
Even, Jiang Yun felt that if it weren't for such a relationship, after the fall of the Wu Kingdom, the White Dragon Temple suffered a catastrophe, and I am afraid it would be impossible to get up.
They were able to get up because the world still needed a White Dragon Temple to guard this deadly permanent demon rift.
While they visited the great demonic chasm, they listened to the mysteries tell many stories of the past.
What Master Xuan Miao said is basically the glorious achievements of the White Dragon Temple. What predecessors fought here and killed powerful demons here; In the past, when the White Dragon Temple was at its most crisis, it never gave up guarding the demon rift......
But Jiang Yun was a little itchy at the moment.
He could feel that there was something not far away.
This attraction, he is quite familiar: there must be a fragment of time, just around!
His face didn't move, but his gaze was inadvertent, looking around.
Sure enough, on the mountain not far away, there was a white light.
Seeing that it was not far away, Jiang Yun pretended to walk around casually and approached there.
On closer inspection, it was a puddle of blood scattered across the rocks.
The blood stains looked like they had been in years, and they were so dark that they were almost unrecognizable.
But at this moment, from this pool of some ancient bloodstains, Jiang Yun very clearly felt the attraction of the fragments of time to him.
He reached out and touched it.
The moment his hand touched it, the white light disappeared, and Jiang Yun also harvested the fifth piece of time fragment after coming to this world.
"Master Jiang?"
"Here we are."
It's okay to get a time fragment, as for what this time fragment is, it's not the time to delve into it for the time being.
Jiang Yun returned to Master Xuanmiao's side and listened obediently.
……
Early the next morning, everyone set off from the Demon Hall and entered the mountain.
The patrol is officially started.
Yesterday, after visiting the permanent demon rift, Jiang Yun had a meal in the Demon Sealing Hall with the patrol team, met many people, and then in the evening, he also faced an impact from the demon.
About fifty or so demons gathered on the mountain road and attacked the mountain gate of the Demon Sealing Hall. Of course, they were not able to rush and were eventually killed.
Even, Jiang Yun didn't get a chance to make a move.
And in the evening, they also met the current leader of the Demon Sealing Hall, Master Xuanping.
After greeting Xuan Miao for a while, he quickly got to the point - arranging patrol tasks.
If anyone is most familiar with the situation in this back mountain, it is, of course, the person who sealed the Demon Hall.
This permanent demon rift on the back mountain was suppressed. For hundreds of years, no demon has ever emerged from it, except under exceptional circumstances—and of course, it doesn't dare. Once such a large rift is opened, it will not take long, and it will only take a day to come out of an army of demons, or a very powerful demon to come out.
And now these demons on the back mountain did not essentially come out of this demon rift.
This rift is too huge, directly connecting the human world and the demon world. Even if it was sealed, the breath from the demon world still poured out from here all the time, and in the area of the back mountain, one twisted monster after another was formed.
Because the root of the demonic breath is here, these demons born from the breath can't go far, and they can't leave the back mountain, but as the number accumulates more and more, it will always have an impact on the Demon Sealing Hall, and at the same time, it will also pose a threat to the aura ore transportation team that will be transported up the mountain every one or two months.
Therefore, they will regularly attack and hunt evil demons in the back mountains.
Of course, killing can't be clean, anyway, as long as this demon rift exists, there will be a steady stream of evil breath leaking out, and there will be a steady stream of evil demons generated out of thin air.
However, it is still necessary to clean up the number of demons on a regular basis, and control the number of demons in the back mountains to a certain extent for a period of time.
It's just that the permanent manpower of the Demon Sealing Hall is about sixty or seventy people, and it can't cover the entire back mountain.
Therefore, every once in a while, the clean-up operation has to need the help of the headquarters of the White Dragon Temple under the mountain.
That's what the patrol is all about.
At night, Master Xuanping drew a route. On the map, it looks like it starts from the Demon Sealing Hall, goes around the mountains, and finally returns here, the journey is about five days in total, but when you count the time it takes to fight, it must be more than that.
Their mission is to complete the circle and destroy all the demons they see along the way.
So, early in the morning of the next day, they were ready, and with Jingguang, a disciple of the Demon Hall, as the guide, they embarked on the road of patrol.
