Chapter 16: The Sword in the Mountain and River Town (14)

The yin wind blows on the ghost head slope.

The crows crowed endlessly.

Li Mengzhou slowed down and watched as the wild cultivator convulsed and fell, his body shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he didn't even have time to scream.

The figure, with its back to him, let out a long sigh and slowly turned around.

His complexion was very white, miserable, but his eyes were bright, but his teeth were a little yellowish.

"I've been watching you for a long time. ”

He looked at Li Mengzhou and grinned.

Li Mengzhou's face was calm, he held the black green sword in his hand tightly, and said: "As an outsider, you can think of using the so-called spiritual objects that help cultivators break through the realm to lure those wild cultivators who have poor qualifications and are eager to become stronger to send them to death, I really admire you a little, outsiders with brains are really terrifying." ”

"In your cognition, people outside the mountains are indeed some fools, but they have great power, which is the most feared thing for you, but whether it is you in this mountain and river, or us outside the mountain, they all belong to the world. ”

"We outsiders have just found a new way of cultivating, and although there are some problems with this method, it is also a great feat. ”

"Because those poor fellows with very poor qualifications are qualified to set foot on higher mountain peaks, which will create a prosperous era of cultivation, but you are not willing to accept the arrival of a new era and expel the people outside the mountain, how stupid is this?"

The outsider looked at Li Mengzhou with a mocking face.

Li Mengzhou said calmly: "I don't want to tell you this nonsense, although I haven't experienced the Demon Swinging Period, but I have also deliberately understood the things of that period, at the beginning of the birth of people outside the mountain, it originated from the quiet land of mountains and seas, and the strong cultivators there may indeed have the idea of wanting to improve the cultivation world, so that everyone can embark on the path of cultivation and no longer be limited by talent." ”

"But the so-called path of relying on plundering Qi Sea Spirit Yuan to become stronger, even if there are no ordinary people in the world, but cultivators plundering each other, will there be only one person left in the end?"

"If there is only one person's world, how can it be called a world? In the absence of a cultivator's Qi Sea Spirit Yuan to plunder, the only remaining person will be devoured by desire and destroy himself, that is not to create a new era, but to destroy this world. ”

Some cultivators in the quiet land of mountains and seas may have taken the wrong path because they wanted to change the cultivation world, but this is only a possibility, no one knows who the first person outside the mountain is, even during the demon era, the mastermind behind the creation of the people outside the mountain has never really appeared.

The reason for the birth of the mountain outsiders is still a mystery, if there is really someone who wants to change the cultivation world, then when he has this thought, when his reason is still alive, it is impossible to hide this matter, he must want to tell the world and get the help of the monks in the world, because it is impossible for one person to succeed.

But no one put forward such an idea, and no one refuted this delusion, and the outsiders seemed to appear out of thin air.

Even if that person didn't intend to tell the world, he would definitely describe this idea to the people around him, and then the world would know about it eventually, but unfortunately, no such thing happened.

The birth of people outside the mountain will inevitably have some kind of cause and effect, and now there is no cause, only effect, which is a very abnormal thing. Li Mengzhou had a bold guess that in the demon period of that year, it was likely that there was still a pair of eyes watching, and the monks in the mountains and rivers and the monks outside the mountains were just chess pieces.

And those outsiders in the Demon Wandering Period were sealed in the Heavenly Forsaken Wasteland and the Heavenly Abandonment Snow Mountain, but now there are new out-of-mountain people, in addition to the problem of the demon suppression barrier, it also means that there are still people outside the mountain who have not been sealed in this mountain and river, and now he has finally begun to gradually make moves.

Being able to plan to let outsiders lurk in the palace of Jiang Guo for many years without showing their feet is obviously not an ordinary outsider, and the strength of the people behind the scenes is unimaginable.

However, until the conspiracy of the outsiders is revealed, all speculation is meaningless, because it is likely that the final truth is completely different from the world's speculation.

Besides, what the purpose of the people outside the mountain is, it is not so important, the monks in the world only need to kill all the people outside the mountain, this is a war, the war can only be won or lost, and the result is written by the victor.

Although the outsider was not simple-minded, he obviously couldn't understand Li Mengzhou's words, he only knew that he could continue to get stronger, as for what the future world would be like, he had never thought about it.

He sniffed the smell of blood wafting in the Guitou Slope, and grinned: "There are hundreds of cultivators here, enough for me to break through the realm, and your smell is very special, it is a very familiar smell, when you first came to the Guitou Slope, I smelled your breath, at that moment, an idea came to my mind, as long as I can plunder your Qi Sea Spirit Yuan, I can become stronger, stronger than plundering all the cultivators here!"

Li Mengzhou frowned and said, "Then it depends on whether you have the ability to do it." ”

The aura of the monk outside the mountain was very turbid, although he was already standing face to face, Li Mengzhou still couldn't clearly perceive the other party's cultivation realm, and if he wanted to figure it out, he would only know if he had beaten it.

"My name is Bai Luo, and now, I'm going to start eating you. ”

......

......

The capital, the Imperial Sword Temple.

Ning Haoran silently looked at the two people who were playing chess, thinking that this was really a very boring thing.

Xue Wangwu is obviously not very good at playing chess, he scratches his ears and cheeks from time to time, and finally smashes the chessboard directly in a fit of anger, picks up the wine jug and pours a few sips, and hums: "The old man plays chess with you, and he is quite invincible, after all, he has eaten more rice than you for decades, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't play." ”

Jiang Tingyu shook his head with a smile and said, "I naturally can't play Dean Xue, this game of chess is really not interesting." ”

Xue Wangwu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What are you doing with me?"

Jiang Tingyu said: "It's been a little half a month since they left the capital, but the first person to meet outsiders was Li Mengzhou, Shanhe Town once sent a letter, there were many cultivators there, and the secret agents in Shanhe Town also sent back the news, it seems that the outsiders there know how to use the things that Ye Xiu needs most to lure them into the net, I think it is by no means an ordinary character, although Xiao Zhinan is also in Shanhe Town, but if the outsiders there are strong, I'm afraid they will also encounter some trouble." ”

The secret agents of the Heavenly Council have their own special ways to send news from all over the country back to the capital in the fastest time, and in the case of non-necessity, it is nothing more than a quick whip, but if there is a more serious matter, it only takes an hour to arrive, of course, if the distance between the two dynasties is crossed, the time will be relatively longer.

Sword cultivation can transmit messages through flying swords, but there is no sword cultivation in the Heavenly Academy, which requires a special method to consume a large amount of spiritual yuan in order to transmit the news back to the Heavenly Council in time, and this method is unique to the Heavenly Academy, which is why the intelligence ability of the Heavenly Council surpasses that of other major dynasties.

But because the amount of spiritual yuan consumed is too huge, although it is not in danger of life, it will also be mentally exhausted, and you will have to be sick in bed for most of the month, which is not a particularly important thing, so there is no need to perform this method, and the farther away it is, the greater the danger, and you may lose your life.

Therefore, at a long distance, it is a particularly important thing that needs to be transmitted back, so it can only be transmitted many times in the maximum distance, and there are hidden post stations of the Heavenly Lord's Court in the main towns of Jiang Kingdom, in addition to collecting information that appears in various places, it is also possible to relay news over long distances.

Xue Wangwu said nonchalantly: "The children's affairs are solved by themselves, I can't stand behind them forever, since Li Mengzhou is already the seventh gentleman of the Sword Academy of the Palace, then he should have the strength to take charge of himself, if he can't even solve it with a monk outside the mountain, then he will die if he dies, and he will be embarrassed." ”

Jiang Tingyu looked at Xue Wangwu and wanted to know his true thoughts, but Xue Wangwu's face was very calm, and he said a little helplessly: "At present, the spies in Shanhe Town can't know how many people from outside the mountains there are and what kind of strength they have, if the difference is too big and beyond Li Mengzhou's ability, just watch, Dean Xue can really sit still?"

When a cultivator reaches the Five Realms, the distance of the fugue will of course become very wide, but it is also impossible to see the entire world, and perhaps only the big things that have broken through the barriers of the Five Realms can do it.

Although the distance between Shanhe Town and the capital is not close, it is not very far, Jiang Tingyu and Xue Wangwei can of course see the situation of Guitoupo, but the former did not look at it, and the latter is a little old after all, and at night, the vision becomes a little blurred, not as clear as daytime.

Xue Wangwu snorted coldly and said: "I know that you care about Li Mengzhou very much, because you are still doubting his identity, but I don't care who Li Mengzhou is, he is my apprentice, of course I will not watch him being killed, if it is really beyond his ability, the old man will naturally not sit idly by, as long as he does not go out of Jiang Country, anywhere, I can save him before he is killed." ”

When it came to Xue Wangwei's level of sword cultivation, it was only a matter of a moment for the flying sword to cross thousands of miles.

Jiang Tingyu smiled and said: "I am here to inform Dean Xue of this matter, I know that Dean Xue cares about his apprentices very much, but there are many disciples who have left the Palace Sword Academy to go out, even if Dean Xue has been watching, I am afraid that some of them will not be able to see it, there will always be something to worry about, and the secret agents of the Heavenly Lord's Court will always pay attention to them." ”

This is an action against monks outside the mountain, but it is also a practice, and all the elders can do is ensure their safety, and other than that, no matter what happens, they can only rely on themselves.

But as Jiang Tingyu said, even if Xue Wangwu was watching them every day, he could only watch them one by one, and there would always be a time to take a nap, and even if there were agents of the Heavenly Council watching, it would take time to transmit the news back to the capital, and it was likely that in the process, someone would die.

But there's no way to avoid it.

There is no such thing as absolute in the world, even Xue Wangwu and Jiang Tingyu can't do everything.
