Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Lock Demon Tower

More than 500 years ago, during the period of Emperor Wu of Liang in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, because Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang Wu believed in Buddhism, there was a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, and Shushan was regarded as a crooked and evil way. Emperor Wu of Liang summoned Buddhist monks to climb Mount Shu to build a pagoda to suppress the Daomen of Mount Shu. At that time, the Shushan Daomen rebelled, and the Buddhism family failed miserably. It is precisely because of this battle that the Shushan Daomen began to unite, and the Fairy Sword Sect unified more than a dozen sects of the Daomen, and established the later "Shushan School".

Since then, the Shushan faction has basically taken the Immortal Sword Sect as the main body, paying attention to the cultivation of Taoism and swordsmanship, paying attention to entering the WTO to kill demons and demons, accumulating merits in order to soar to the heavenly realm and become immortal. This kind of behavior is secretly in line with the needs of the heavenly realm, and the Emperor of Heaven allows the Shushan faction to set up a Tongtian Monument, and the Shushan Sword Immortal who meets the conditions can open the gate of the heavenly realm through the Tongtian Monument and fly into the heavenly realm as an immortal as a god.

Since then, the Shushan faction has claimed to be a famous and upright sect, but it does not reject the cultivation methods of other sects, and actively collects and preserves all kinds of immortal swordsmanship. The pagoda left behind by the fiasco of Buddhism was finally rebuilt into a "lock demon tower" by the Shushan faction with the help of the heavenly realm.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Shushan faction, the entire Shushan Immortal Cultivation Sect suffered heavy casualties because of the Buddhist and Taoist Wars, in order to make Shushan recreate the grand occasion of the former Immortal Cultivation Holy Land, the head of the Shushan Sect began to set up a teleportation array directly below Shushan. Earthly people who want to go to Shu Mountain to apprentice and cultivate immortals, as long as they pass the test of the Shu Mountain inspection envoy, they can teleport to the Hanging Mountain, cut off the earthly edge, and start cultivating immortals.

If people want to enter Shu Mountain, in addition to the teleportation array, there are two other ways, one is called the "Ladder to the Sky", and the other is called the "Desperate Chain".

The formation of Shu Mountain is due to the root system of the sacred tree and the heart of Pangu, and sometimes, the young seeds of the sacred tree will accidentally fall to the mortal ground directly below Shu Mountain through the root system. Although the young seeds of these sacred trees cannot become divine trees due to the lack of spiritual energy nourishment, they will instinctively grow and extend towards the root system of the sacred tree at the bottom of Shu Mountain.

When the roots of the sacred tree at the bottom of Shu Mountain were intertwined with the sacred vines grown from these young seeds, a thick and winding "ladder" was formed. There are several such "ladders" on the ground directly below Mount Shu, however, this kind of ladder is too fragile because the connection between the divine vine and the root system of the sacred tree is too fragile and difficult to support for a long time, so the "ladder to ascend the sky" is also called the "ladder of broken souls".

Perhaps it is precisely because of the existence of the "ladder of heaven" that a circle of treacherous mountains and mountains has been formed directly below Mount Shu, and the steep mountain walls form a huge valley around the "ladder of heaven". The valley has been filled with a thick miasma for many years, and there are countless poisonous insects and beasts in it.

On the steep cliffs around the valley, the Shushan faction used fine steel chains with the thickness of ordinary people's waists to connect Shushan and these mountaintop cliffs in some extremely steep places, forming a total of four iron chain roads. Through these four chains, you can also reach the Hanging Mountain, but the danger is even more than the "ladder", known as the "Desperate Chain".

The Shushan faction set up the "Ladder to the Sky" and the "Desperate Chain", which was also to recruit mortals who yearn for cultivating immortals. After all, there are some mortals who are very poor in cultivating immortal roots and bones and cannot pass the test of the inspection envoys, but there are also many people who are determined and have great perseverance and great luck. "Ladder to Heaven" and "Chain of Desperation" are designed for them.

Shushan is abundant in spiritual energy, and there are many fairy herbs and exotic beasts, which can raise the flesh and bones of dead people. Even if it's not for the sake of cultivating immortals, there are some self-reliant mortals who go for them. Thousands of mortals fall on the "ladder to heaven" and "chain of desperation" every year, and basically these people feed the poisonous insects and beasts in the valley.

"Have you really decided to go up to Shu Mountain with me?" Zixuan's braids fluttered under the strong wind on the top of the mountain, and she said to the two people behind her with a serious face.

"I have a share of responsibility in this matter, and I should accompany you up the mountain. What's more, I grew up near Shushan since I was a child, and although this "desperate chain" is dangerous, it still can't stop me! Nangong Huang's face was calm, and then he turned his head to the girl next to him and said, "Silk Satin girl, you can stay here and wait for us!" ”

"I ...... I also want to save Chiyan Gongzi! Silk satin hung his head and rubbed ~ the corners of his clothes, and said in a low voice.

"The wind was blowing in the air, and the chain was unsupported in mid-air, swaying left and right. Nangong Huang is just okay, you definitely can't go up. My mana is sealed, and I can't lead people to resist the wind. Zixuan sighed and refused the silk satin's request.

"Silk Satin Girl, I and Miss Zixuan will go up the mountain to save Chiyan Gongzi, you are patiently waiting for our good news!" Looking at the frustration on Silk Sain's face, Nangong Huang couldn't bear to comfort him.

……

"I can't see that you are so agile, and it looks like you are not lying when you say that you often climb the chain of despair!" Looking at Nangong Huang, who was as flexible as an ape on the desperate chain, Zi Xuan's face showed a hint of surprise.

"Alas, I have wanted to join the Shushan faction since I was a child, but unfortunately the reputation of 'Huang Daxian' is not very good, and I have been rejected by them several times!" Nangong Huang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's you, the prince of Chiyan is not related to you, you came to Shushan, I'm afraid it's not just to save him, it's so simple!" ”

"Yes, I came to Shushan, in addition to saving Zhou Chiyan, I really want to meet another person!" Zixuan nodded, showing a hint of appreciation, and then sighed, "The last time I was injured by Jingming, I only exposed my traces to see him, I don't know how he is now?" ”

"He's a disciple of Shushan?" Nangong Huang asked in surprise.

"Yes, his name is Xu Changqing!" Zixuan said with a confused gaze, "Changqing, I'm here again!" This time, you may be reminded of our previous life agreement! ”

……

"Is this the Lock Demon Tower?" Chi Yan looked around blankly.

After Chi Yan was captured by Jingming Lao Dao, when he woke up again, he found that he was already in a place shrouded in fog. The place seemed to be endless, and high above his head, there was a large starlit sphere, but because of the mist, the light here was extremely dim, and it seemed chaotic and silent, like a mass grave at night.

The young man walked in the Lock Demon Tower for a long time, but he never found its edge, and it seemed that the inside of the Lock Demon Tower was a different dimensional space that had been opened up. And judging from some random teleportation arrays, this lock demon tower may have more than one floor.

After walking for a while, Chi Yan looked around blankly, he knew that as long as the Lock Demon Tower did not change, I am afraid that he would never have a chance to go out. However, the young man did not sit still, and even if he could not go out, he hoped to meet one of his kind. The most terrifying thing here is not a demon like him, but loneliness and loneliness.

Suddenly, a bright light flashed in front of the young man's eyes, and a randomly floating teleportation talisman array in the Lock Demon Tower appeared in front of him. Chi Yan stepped on the rune array without hesitation, no matter where the rune array teleported him, it didn't matter to him, but it filled him with anticipation.

The young man even closed his eyes, imagining that there would be a kind of person on the other end of the teleportation array, even if it was a fight with the most ferocious demon, he would not hesitate to do so.

When the young man opened his eyes again, a misty light really appeared in front of the mist, and when he looked closely, it seemed to be still shaking slightly.

"Someone!" Chi Yan quickened his pace in surprise and ran in that direction.

However, when he ran to the bright place, he was slightly stunned. This bright light was emitted by a sword suspended in mid-air, and the surface of the sword had a rich red light, as if it was like bright blood, which was extremely dazzling.

The young man looked around suspiciously, and after making sure that there were no other demons here, he finally sighed and approached the sword, wanting to take it down.

"Go away, don't touch me! Otherwise, this girl will cut off your demon head! The sword, which emitted a rich blood light, suddenly shook slightly, and let out a delicate female voice. At the same time, a red figure began to emerge from behind the sword.

PS: I asked for a monthly pass, and it was blown up!
