Chapter Twenty-Three: The Middle Period of the Scholarly Realm (I)
Weiming went straight down the mountain, during which he continued to use the second change of the "Seven Steps of Ape Flying" he had learned, and after a while, he came to the bottom of the mountain.
As soon as I got off the mountain, I saw the remains of the snake spider that had been killed by the Futu Patriarch with one finger, which had been torn beyond recognition, and it was estimated that it had been eaten by some small monster, and there were still a large number of severed limbs and stumps left.
Weiming looked at this messy scene, and couldn't help but flash a trace of fear in his heart. This was the first time he had faced the ordeal alone, and the last time he had fought against the Thunder Sense, he still had that voice by his side. Now he was the only one left.
The unnamed body movement continued towards the nearest mountain peak. This nearest mountain is about 100 miles away from Futu Mountain, called Evil Wolf Mountain, and it is said that the howl of evil wolves comes from time to time inside, which can frighten people.
The first change of the first form of the master-level exercise "Seven Steps Ape Flying" was suddenly as light as a swallow, and he was ten zhang in one step. Soon it was one step away from the Evil Wolf Mountain a hundred miles away.
Before the name traveled to the foot of the evil wolf mountain, he had to stop, the evil wolf mountain was full of demonic energy, and a foul smell came to the face, which could make people faint.
Weiming could only run the ape flying breathing method and extract air breathing from the thick poisonous gas miasma.
After Weiming gradually got used to this demonic aura, he dared to slowly climb up the mountain.
Every time I went up, the demonic energy became more and more intense, and several times Weiming almost wandered and inhaled the demonic energy. Weiming had to walk for a while, and then rested for a while.
Before I knew it, it was noon, the sun was in full bloom, and the sunlight had dispersed a lot of demonic energy. Weiming felt much more comfortable, and then continued to walk forward.
However, after walking for hundreds of miles, there is still not a single monster in this mountain. It made him very strange.
And this Evil Wolf Mountain is indeed much larger than Futu Mountain, from morning to noon, at the current speed of Weiming, it is still only halfway up the mountain.
When Wei Ming was wondering in his heart, suddenly there was a movement in the grass in front of him. Attracting him to the past, Weiming hurriedly pulled out the gas condensation staff pinned to his waist and stretched out to probe the pile of weeds. I found a toad!
"Who are you who dare to disturb the good things of this king!" The toad spoke out of his mouth, and at first glance, he was an old demon who had practiced for many years and cultivated profoundly.
Seeing him speak, he couldn't help but step back, afraid that the old monster would hurt himself.
But apparently he was thinking too much, but the toad didn't bother with him anymore, but continued to dig something in the weeds.
"---What are you digging for?" asked Weiming with the courage to do so. He understood that according to the Futu Patriarch, the monsters in the martial world had to have at least a hundred years of skill, and they could only speak human words when they reached the sect realm. And the toad in front of him is covered in bronze texture, not only is it not ugly, but it is also very exquisite, and it looks like an otherworldly old demon.
"Little ghost, what I am digging for is my treasure that was stolen by the king of this mountain. "Toad doesn't seem to be a vicious person, he should be considered a good person.
Weiming knew that there were good and bad people in this world, and the first thing he learned in the birth space was to distinguish between good and evil, and to distinguish between right and wrong. That's why he always doesn't trust others.
For him at present, he is too weak, and he is simply someone else's fish on the board, and he must be reserved. Only when you are strong enough can you truly believe in others and not be afraid that others will threaten you.
"And what's your name?" Weiming asked the toad, feeling that the toad was quite friendly.
"I am Tan Toad, the owner of the nearby Toad Pond. My disciples and grandchildren all call me King Toad. Tan Toad replied unabashedly.
"Then since you are Lord Tan and you want so many disciples and grandchildren, why do you want to come in person?" Weiming looked at Tan Toad as a straightforward man, so he asked again.
"Those imps are so useless that I went out to attend a convention, and when I came back, my treasure was stolen by the king of the mountain. I'll have to find it myself. As soon as Tan Toad mentioned his apprentices, he looked like he hated iron but not steel.
"But the king of this mountain doesn't want to break with him yet, so I let out a stench and drive away all those little demon minions. When the Toad King said this, Weiming understood why he didn't encounter any monsters along the way.
After Weiming learned about the cause and effect, he had a good impression of him and wanted to help this Tan toad.
"Toad King, my name is Weiming, can I help you?" Weiming didn't tell him that his surname was Supreme, after all, this was too eye-catching, and I was afraid that if I said it, it might be a disaster.
"No, little ghost, you don't want to snatch this thing, do you?" After all, the Toad King has been practicing for hundreds of years, and he is naturally a smart person, although he is very reckless, he also knows the truth that people's hearts are separated from their stomachs.
"Toad King, since that's the case, forget it. I also have something to do, so I'm leaving. Seeing that the toad king didn't appreciate it, Weiming was about to leave. But the Toad King blocked his way.
"Toad King, what are you doing here?" Weiming was blocked from getting there, and he was a little angry in his heart.
The Toad King smiled: "Little ghost, if you tell the King of the Mountain, wouldn't I have to tear my face with that guy?" The Toad King voiced his concerns, in his opinion, Weiming was likely to be a spy of some human force, and he came to this monster world to sow discord.
Seeing that the Toad King was determined not to let him go, and knowing that he was not the Toad King's opponent, he stayed, idle, and began to meditate in place.
Wei Ming continued to breathe out the ape flying qi, although he was in the sea of demonic qi, he could still capture some thin heaven and earth vitality and inhale it into his body, plus it was noon, and the sun was three poles, he absorbed the daily essence of cultivation, and it was twice the result with half the effort.
Soon, Weiming once again entered the ethereal state of concentration with no distractions and a mirror stopping water. There was a faint halo on his body again.
"Huh?" When Tan Toad saw this scene, he couldn't help but stop the movements of his hand and turned to stare at Weiming.
"Little ghost, there is such a strange thing? It's just that there was such an aura in the early days of the Shi Realm. Tan Toad couldn't help but let out the same exclamation as the Futu Patriarch.
"Hey, little ghost, you should have stayed at the third level of the early stage of the Shijing realm for a long time, right?" Tan Toad was not in a hurry to dig up his treasure, but showed great interest in Weiming.
Weiming was meditating, and when Tan Toad asked him this, he immediately turned around, opened his golden eyes, and faced Tan Toad.
"Your eyes are golden!" Tan Toad didn't look carefully at first, but now that the two looked at each other, they found the unnamed golden pupils, and they were very surprised.
Weiming naturally understood the reason for his surprise, and it is estimated that there are not many people in the world who have golden pupils. Even a character like the Futu Patriarch has almost never been met, let alone Tan Toad.
"It's just that you're born different. "Weiming, but he doesn't want to publicize his differences. He understands the dangers of this world.
"What a weird little ghost. What are you doing here to this mountain?" Tan Toad didn't want to be nosy, but he was very interested in Weiming, so he asked.
Weiming didn't want to say that he was here to practice, so he had to laugh haha: "I'm actually lost, and I wanted to hunt some prey in the mountains so that I could go home and eat." ”
"Then don't you actually ask me for directions?" After all, Tan Toad is an old monster, experienced, and definitely not stupid, and he poked at the sore spot of Weiming at once.
Weiming knows that it is better to explain honestly, in case he angers this person, he will not have good fruit to eat.
"Toad King, in fact, I didn't say it because I was afraid of you just now. But I don't think a big man like you would do anything to a kid like me. I'll tell you, I actually went up to this evil wolf mountain to train myself. I want to see how strong I am and seek improvement. "I didn't tell the truth.
After hearing this, Tan Toad's expression softened slightly, and he muttered for a while: "Little ghost, you are really strange, I estimate that your body is different from ordinary people, and it is difficult to improve your own realm." But if you want to join my toad pool, I can help you. "The toad also has his own plans, and he will definitely not trade at a loss.
Weiming refused without hesitation, he could understand that the status of his master, Futu Patriarch, was definitely not comparable to that of the Toad King. It's not that he is not a snobbery, but he especially needs a big backer now, who can protect him when his life is threatened by the golden thunder consciousness and he will die anytime and anywhere. Therefore, he did not want to take refuge in a person as an apprentice.
"Thank you King Toad for your kindness, but I'm just a small character, how can I become your disciple?" The name was complimented, but the Toad King did not accept it.
Tan Toad frowned, and said angrily: "Little ghost, don't toast and don't eat and drink! I, Tan Toad, can also be ranked among the kings of the Eight Mountains, Nine Pools and Ten Caves of this Demon Mountain Range." If I give people high branches, no one will dare not climb!" Tan Toad finally showed a fierce appearance, an old demon like him is usually a charitable face, and when he really fights, he immediately denies his six relatives.
Tan Toad's toad's body began to swell, and it looked like it was about to spew poisonous gas to attack.
However, Weiming understood that this toad king should not be such a stingy person, although he was afraid in his heart, he still faced it without moving, and he didn't say anything.
“...... Good little ghost, courageous, I appreciate you, if you encounter difficulties in the future, come to Toad Pond to find me. I, Tan Toad, welcome you at any time!" the Toad King spoke very happily and proudly.
"Okay, Toad King, you are a person I admire! But what is the matter with the eight mountains, nine pools and ten caves you just mentioned?" Seeing that he was so cheerful, Weiming was so unrestrained and asked.
The Toad King thought for a moment, and then opened his mouth and said, "This is the Western Regions Demon Mountain Range, one of the four regions of the Martial World. And this demon mountain range has been occupied by us old demons since ancient times, although a long time ago, we reached an agreement with humans to coexist peacefully. However, it was inevitable that fighting would break out, so these peaks were rarely inhabited. "The Toad King explained some of the circumstances of the martial world that Wei Ming didn't know.
"But it doesn't matter if humans live here, don't you see if I don't do anything to you?" the Toad King waved his hand, showing his helplessness towards people.
"And this demon mountain range is named after it. And as the population continued to increase, many forces began to emerge in order to establish order. But there are more forces, but no one is convinced. The Toad King said that he was excited, and began to use his hands and feet together.
"Then let's fight, whoever is good will listen to whomever they want. Because of this, we continued to kill each other, and finally one day only a few larger forces remained. But the population plummeted as a result. The Toad King was so emotional that he couldn't help himself.
"In the end, everyone understood that nothing was gained from the fighting, so the war was ceased and the land was divided. You take care of a piece, I take care of a piece, just like that, those surviving demons have all got a part of the territory, and they have never been in contact with each other since then. "The Toad King has finally finished telling the history of this battle.
But the unknown is full of questions. He asked, "Since the demons have each gained territory, then why are there only demon beasts in this vicinity, and where have the demons gone?"
