Chapter Seventy-Six: The People of Tianhai Dao
Some people may say that they can fly directly into the valley from the sky, but those who can fly in the sky can at least be able to do so by cultivating above the Divine Pill Realm or the Innate Realm, and most of them need to rely on flying magic weapons to be able to maintain their flight for a long time.
Not to mention whether the Bitter Sea Sect would set up a gravity formation on the periphery of the valley, if someone really dared to fly directly over Tianmen Mountain, those powerful demon beasts in the mountains and forests alone would be able to make them drink a pot.
Of course, everything here didn't mean anything to Poplar, who had a starry sky map, and his consciousness flew to the entrance of the valley with great ease.
I saw that there was a city wall more than 20 meters high at the mouth of the valley, the total length of the city wall was less than 100 meters, and the cliffs on both sides were thousands of meters high.
The bricks of the wall were made of a kind of cyan rock, and the cracks in the bricks were already covered with moss and weeds, and the traces of a large number of sharp claws were faintly visible, and it was obvious that the wall had been subjected to a fierce attack.
On the city wall, there are a large number of long-range shooting tools made of rare metal, very similar to the bed crossbow in ancient China, but unlike the bed crossbow, the bed crossbow and arrows here are made of a jet-black metal, which looks extremely sharp and tough.
I don't know what kind of metal this jet-black metal is, and there is not the slightest trace of rust on these bed crossbows and arrows.
In addition to these bed-like crossbow-like shooting equipment, there were hundreds of Bitter Sea Sect members in light blue costumes patrolling the city walls, and he couldn't sense how these sect members were cultivating because they were in a state of consciousness.
His consciousness did not linger on the walls, and soon passed through the walls and into the valley behind.
When he entered the valley, he was instantly stunned by the vastness and dreamlike beauty of the valley.
This valley is very huge, the overall scale is almost no less than Qingshan Town, the sky is full of clouds and mist, occasionally there will be glow sprinkled, three sides are steep cliffs, the bottom of the cliff is densely forested, strange flowers and plants can be seen everywhere, there is a huge waterfall on the cliff in the depths of the valley and falls into the valley with a roar, it looks extremely spectacular.
Although he had seen all these scenes in the memories of the He Altar Master, because he had not incorporated the memories of the other party into his own memories, the feeling was not as shocking as what he had seen with his own eyes at this moment.
In the very center of the valley are a large number of buildings, the most conspicuous of which is a nine-storey red tower.
On the edge of the tower there is both a large hall and a square, and further out there are a large number of small courtyards.
From a distance, it looked like a small town, and disciples of the Bitter Sea Sect could be seen everywhere wearing light blue cloth clothes.
The town is built on a hill and is surrounded by plenty of paddy fields and woodland.
In the deepest part of the valley, there is a small lake, the water of the small lake comes from the waterfall above the cliff, and in the small lake, a large number of small boats are parked, and many disciples of the Bitter Sea Sect are fishing in the lake.
When Bai Yang's consciousness came to the top of the town, he found that there were many disciples of the Bitter Sea Sect practicing martial arts in the square in front of the nine-story tower.
He roughly counted, and the number of disciples of the Bitter Sea Sect in the square would probably not be less than five hundred.
And according to what he knew from the memories of the altar master, only those newcomers who had just entered the main altar of the Bitter Sea Sect not long ago needed to cultivate in the square, and the old people had their own cultivation room.
Poplar didn't know how many people from the Bitter Sea Sect were in this valley, but judging from the dense courtyards built in the center of the valley, there were probably no fewer than a few thousand.
"No wonder this Bitter Sea Sect can compete with the First Immortal Sect of Luo Yuanguo, this is its essence!" Poplar couldn't help but sigh.
But this is not a good thing for him, there are too many houses here, even if Xiaoyu is really in this valley, he wants to find her, I am afraid it will not be able to do it in a short time.
"Xiaoyu, will you really be here?" Poplar was honestly a little bottomless.
But now that he has come here, he will naturally not give up all opportunities.
According to the memory of the Lord of Hotan, there was a place in this valley dedicated to the detention of important prisoners.
Most of the so-called important criminals were naturally the disciples and elders of the Shangxian Academy or the Heavenly Dao Sect who were arrested, and of course, some were disciples of the Kuhai Sect who made mistakes.
Bai Yang didn't know if Xiao Yu would also be imprisoned there, it stands to reason that Xiao Yu has no sect and is not an important big person, and the possibility of being imprisoned in this kind of place is not high, but he still decided to go to that place first.
Many caves have been dug into the cliffs on both sides of the valley, some of these caves are traps, some are secret passages leading to the outside of the valley, some are the cultivation places of the high-level leaders of the Bitter Sea Sect, and some are used to store important materials.
And the cave used to hold the prisoner is located on the cliff on the left side of the valley, Bai Yang remembered that the cultivation place of Elder Wu Daozi seems to be on this cliff, which is a double win for him, if he can't find Xiaoyu in the cave where the prisoner is held, he can also go to Wu Daozi's cave ** to have a look.
When Poplar's consciousness quickly flew to the vicinity of the cliff on the left, he found that there was a large cemetery in the forest under the cliff on the left.
He suddenly remembered that this cemetery seemed to be buried with the heroes who had sacrificed for the Bitter Sea Sect for hundreds of years, and it seemed that he had been influenced by the Lord of the Altar, which made him can't help but be in awe of these martyrs when he saw this cemetery.
"Huh! Who is that person? Poplar suddenly discovered that there was a gray-haired, but very energetic old man in the cemetery, who was weeding the cemetery.
If this old man was an ordinary disciple in the Bitter Sea Sect, he would not be so surprised, and what surprised him was that this old man turned out to be the Tianhai Dao person in He Tan Master's memory.
He didn't expect that a person who was called an old demon by people in the righteous path would be so affectionate and righteous, no wonder it would make people like He Tan Master who are greedy for money and lustful feel extremely admired.
However, since this person was able to create a sect like the Bitter Sea Sect with the purpose of pursuing equality for everyone, it naturally could also show that this person's character was noble.
Seeing the other party focusing and carefully cleaning up the weeds and dead branches and leaves for these graves, Poplar was also unconsciously moved by the other party's emotions, and almost planned to show up and follow the other party to clean up the weeds for these graves.
Fortunately, he woke up in time, which made him feel a little afraid, if he showed up at this time, it would definitely not be a good thing to wait for him.
"It's better to get out of here." Poplar glanced at the Tianhai Daoist, and then flew towards one of the caves on the cliff wall without looking back.
The cave is very deep, and the stone walls inside are inlaid with fluorescent stones that emit a faint white light, making the cave ** not look very dark, but it is not very bright either.
After passing through a narrow passage, you will enter a stone room of about twenty square meters, and two disciples of the Bitter Sea Sect wearing light blue cloth clothes are guarding the stone room.
There are three passages in the stone chamber, one is the entrance to the cliff, and the other two extend deep into the cliff and follow the direction of the cliff.
Bai Yang knew that the passage that stretched along the direction of the rock wall led to the retreat and cultivation place of Wu Daozi and the other elders of the Bitter Sea Sect, and that the passage that went deep into the cliff wall was a place where prisoners were imprisoned or confined for meditation.
He didn't think much of it, and flew straight towards the passage that went deep into the cliff wall.
This passage is relatively long, twisting and turning, going around and around, up and down for no less than a few hundred meters, and there are many disciples of the Bitter Sea Sect stationed on the way.
Soon he came to the end of the passage, and at the end of the passage was a long cell, with no less than twenty cells, of which only six were occupied by people, and the others were empty.
All those who were imprisoned in the cells seemed to be relatively old, and all of them were bound hand and foot in special chains, and there were no storage weapons such as meson bags and storage bracelets on their bodies, except for a tattered piece of clothing.
No, after only sweeping it once, Poplar knew that there was absolutely no light rain here, which made him happy at the same time, but he couldn't help but feel a little lost, and even a little apprehensive.
Unable to find Xiaoyu in the cell where he was held, Poplar quickly flew towards the original path and quickly returned to the original stone chamber.
Then he didn't think much about it, and flew directly along the other passage towards the cultivation room where Wu Daozi was.
The other passage is a passage up a stone staircase, and the top of the passage is inlaid with dense fluorescent stones, which makes the whole passage as bright as day.
He hadn't gone far before he saw a stone gate appear on the stone wall on one side, and there were quite a few stone gates like this one going up the passage.
Although from the memory of the altar master, Bai Yang knew that the cultivation room of that Wu Daozi's predecessor was inside one of the stone gates of this passage, but he did not know which stone gate it was.
There was no way, he could only take the stupidest way and look for them one by one.
Holes were cut into the rock walls of the passage, and it was clear that these were ventilation holes.
If it had been before, Poplar would have been able to drill into these stone chambers through these holes, but since he had discovered another new feature of the sky map some time ago, he didn't need to do so.
As his mind moved, the stone wall in front of him soon disappeared, revealing to him the scene inside the stone wall.
The light inside was bright, but empty.
Poplar sighed and immediately continued to fly up the passage.
All the way up, all the way through the stone wall to check the scene inside the stone wall, he was surprised to find that the stone chambers here are large and small, and there are some secret passages in some stone chambers.
There are a total of nine stone chambers on one side of this passage, three of which are being practiced in retreat, and the other six stone chambers are empty, and Wu Daozi and Xiaoyu have not been found.
"Isn't Wu Daozi coming back yet?" Bai Yang couldn't help frowning, if this was the case, it would not be good news for him, after all, the other party was the only clue he could find Xiaoyu now.
"Could it be that the memory of the altar master is wrong?" Poplar couldn't help but guess.
After all, there are similar retreat rooms on the cliffs on the left and right sides, and there are even more caves on the cliffs on the right, and there are even secret rooms where the cultivation materials of the Bitter Sea Sect are stored and secret passages to connect with the outside world.
It is impossible for such an important place to be defended by no one, even if Wu Daozi used to live on the cliff on the left side, but it has been nearly ten years since the Lord of the He Altar left the main altar, and he naturally does not know what has changed in the main altar in these ten years.
With a glimmer of hope, Poplar flew quickly towards the cliff on the right.
