The monk of the Temple of Inquiry smiled:

"Well, every sect that joins the Temple of Inquiry has to pay a high amount of dues every year, and if it encounters a war like this that has not been encountered for decades, it will also have to pay a war tax! This money is enough for the various expenses of the Temple of Inquiry, if it is not enough, it will be apportioned to each sect."

Wu Ye scratched his scalp and asked again:

"It turns out that you have to pay money to join the Temple of Inquiry, in that case, who would want to join the Temple of Inquiry?"

The monk of the Temple of Inquiry laughed: "Whoever doesn't want to join, who will be killed!

Wu Ye was speechless for a while.

The monk of the Temple of Inquiry, who seemed to be very fond of talking, gushed endlessly:

"Little brother, it seems that you have only been in the cultivation world for a short time, and Master Yuan has not told you all the secrets that everyone in the cultivation world knows! In fact, when our Asking Heart Hall was first established, it was nothing more than several sects uniting together, and everyone contributed a sum of money to serve as military expenses, which was used to buy magic weapons, talismans, and spars, and then went together to exterminate other cultivation sects, and after the matter was over, they each shared the accounts! Over time, the Hall of Asking Heart was like a snowball, more and more sects joined the Temple, and all the sects that were unwilling to join the Hall of Asking Heart were wiped out by us! It wasn't until all the sects in the cultivation world of the Jing Chu Kingdom joined the Hall of Asking Heart that they stopped fighting each other! However, when we came out to cultivate the truth, what we paid attention to was killing people and overselling goods, and if we were not allowed to fight each other, we would have to find trouble in the cultivation world of the Heavenly Jin Kingdom! Naturally, there were no good birds in the cultivation world of the Heavenly Jin Kingdom, the origin of the Heavenly Star Alliance. It's almost the same as our Asking Heart Palace, everyone is half a catty, even if we don't trouble the Heavenly Star Alliance, the Heavenly Star Alliance will come to the door!"

The other monk coughed lightly, presumably asking his companion not to say so much.

The Monk of the Temple of Inquiry disagreed:

"Natural selection, survival of the fittest, this is the only truth in the cultivation world. Whoever can comprehend this truth one step earlier will be able to live longer! Little brother, since he has already embarked on the path of cultivation. It's superfluous to say anything more, drink wine in a big bowl and eat meat in large chunks. Killing people is like grass, burning the city with fire, and being happy for decades is not in vain!

"Thank you for your advice. Wu Ye hurriedly said.

The monk of the Hall of Inquiry smiled, touched the stubble of his beard and said:

"Don't call me senior, my name is Xue Gang, just call me Brother Xue! I just have one thing to say, two to say two, and I like to go straight to the point the most! These heartfelt words just now are pleasing to your eyes. I'll tell you that, if I change to an ordinary dumb-headed Qi refining period cultivator, I don't bother to say so much, it's better for him to die! Thirty or fifty years later, if you are lucky and don't die, and think about it again, you will definitely feel that every word is fine, and every sentence is reasonable!"

"Thank you, Brother Xue!"

Wu Ye secretly slandered, there are really strange people in the cultivation world, where does this Xue Gang look like a foundation building period monk. He's a living bandit.

But it's much more likable than those sanctimonious hypocrites.

It's just that Yuan Ping beside him, his face is extremely ugly.

At this time, the flywheel had dropped three or four hundred feet, the surrounding space was getting bigger and bigger, and the flywheels around were gradually increasing.

Rows of caves line the walls around the cave, each with a glittering symbol carved on the outside to indicate the purpose of the cave.

Most of the caves have the names of the major sects written on the outside, and it seems that they are the temporary base camps of the major sects stationed on the front line.

There are also several caves with the name "XX sect fang market" or "XX trade fair" written on the outside.

And Wu Ye looked down, but saw that there was still a dark darkness below, and there were at least three or four hundred zhang before it reached the end. ...,

From the outside, the giant mountain where Guanning Fort is located is hundreds of zhang high, that is to say, a large part of the entire Guanning Fort is composed of underground caves.

If it weren't for the fact that he had already seen the underground world of Jiuquan, this majestic dungeon would simply make Wu Ye breathtaking.

At that moment, the flywheel passed through a very wide cavern.

Looking into the cave entrance, it was bustling with people, at least a thousand monks gathered.

All the monks craned their necks to look at the hedron panels that surrounded the cave.

On the hedron panel, a series of runes kept beating.

Xue Gang said:

"This is the task release place of the Temple of Inquiry, as long as the master allows, all the monks can come here to receive the task, kill a few monks of the Tianjin Kingdom, and earn some spars, little brother, if Master Yuan agrees, you might as well come here to play." ”

Wu Ye shrunk his neck and said:

"I'm just a Qi refining period cultivator, I'm afraid that I will be killed by the Heavenly Jin Kingdom monk as soon as I go out, so it's safer to serve Yuan Zhenren honestly. ”

Xue Gang laughed, stopped talking, and the flywheel descended all the way, submerging into the faint black mist, and finally stopped in front of a cave with a closed gate.

Xue Gang pressed his palm on a slightly strange color stone next to the door, the door opened silently, and the four mermaids entered, there were a total of three very spacious caves inside, and the walls of the caves around were covered by bamboo walls, the air was unexpectedly fresh, and there was a faint fragrance of bamboo.

"Master Yuan, our two brothers live in these two rooms outside, you and this little brother live in this room inside, if you have any needs, we can help you do it, and you can go out with you, in extraordinary times, if there is any inconvenience, you can bear with me!" Xue Gang said with a smile.

knew that his protection had a hint of "surveillance", but looking at that frank and swaying face, it made people unable to raise their anger.

Yuan Ping nodded, and walked into the innermost cave with a blank expression.

Wu Ye followed in, and the moment he closed the door, the walls around him naturally lit up with a soft white light.

On the walls on both sides, a large silver mirror hangs on each side, and as the white light is lit, there are ripples in the silver mirror, and then a beautiful bamboo forest scene appears, like two windows.

At first glance, they really look like they are in a small wooden house in a bamboo forest, and they are indescribably relaxed.

Yuan Ping sat on the bamboo bed with his butt in his head, his expression was very depressed, and he looked exhausted.

Wu Ye's heart moved, and he asked:

"Yuan Zhenren, what's wrong?"

Yuan Ping was silent for a long time and said, "I may not be able to escape." ”

"How so?"

Wu Ye thought for a moment and said, "Didn't Deacon Nie tell Elder Shen just now, seven days later, it will be a decisive battle between the cultivation circles of the two countries!

"But I won't make it that far!"

Yuan Ping let out a long sigh and explained, "Didn't you hear the conversation between Deacon Nie and Elder Shen just now? In this decisive battle, the Voodoo Sect's colorful poisonous mist is the decisive magic weapon! It's a pity that the number of medicinal herbs refining the colorful poisonous mist is insufficient now, and the growth is slow, you say, what will they do?"

Wu Ye's mind was racing, and he immediately thought:

"Herb cultivation is Yuan Zhenren's specialty, and they will definitely let Yuan Zhenren ripen the herbs used to refine the colorful poisonous mist!"

"Yes, in fact, the Voodoo Sect came to me a long time ago, hoping that I could join the Voodoo Sect and improve the raw materials for the Voodoo Sect, but I didn't agree, because this magic weapon is too frustrating, once I get involved, it will be impossible to leave the Voodoo Sect one day!"

Wu Ye nodded.

It doesn't matter if the ordinary heavenly and earthly treasures are handed over to outsiders to cultivate, but the raw materials of the colorful poisonous mist must be the biggest secret of the Voodoo Sect, how can it be easily known by outsiders?

If Yuan Ping came into contact with the raw materials of the colorful poisonous mist, then there were only two choices left, either to work for the Voodoo Sect and be trapped in the Voodoo Sect for the rest of his life, or to be killed by the Voodoo Sect.

Even if he is willing to cooperate with the Voodoo Sect, in the short term, the Voodoo Sect will definitely spread its manpower around him and keep a strict surveillance, and he will definitely not let him escape easily.

Yuan Ping continued:

"In the past, I could also take advantage of the gap between the various sects to maintain my status as a loose cultivator! But this time the stakes are very high, in order to ensure that there is enough colorful poisonous mist to use in the decisive battle, the Temple of Conscience will definitely put pressure on me to join the Voodoo Sect, I am in a catastrophe!"

Wu Ye pondered for a moment and said:

"Since this is the case, Yuan Zhenren will fight with the Voodoo Sect for a while, and wait until the end of the big war to find a way to escape. ”

Yuan Ping shook his head lightly and said with a wry smile:

"Xiao Wu, you don't know the style of these cultivators, once I refine enough colorful poisonous mist raw materials, my life will not be saved!"

"Why is that?"

Wu Ye couldn't figure it out, if the Voodoo Sect would kill Yuan Ping, it would be too short-sighted, as if a monk like Yuan Ping, no matter which sect he put in, it would raise the strength of this sect to a higher level!

Yuan Ping explained:

"Because of my Voodoo Sect, it has become too powerful and has destroyed the original balance of the Jing Chu Kingdom's cultivation world! So, unless the Voodoo Sect is willing to promise to kill people and destroy people after the matter is completed, other sects will definitely not agree to let me join the Voodoo Sect!"

Wu Ye pondered for a long time before he pondered this truth, and suddenly a sense of incomparably absurdity rose.

Yuan Ping smiled bitterly:

"Don't you think it's ridiculous, but this is the law of the cultivation world! The reason why the Asking Heart Hall can exist is because the strength of the many sects in the cultivation world of Jing Chu Kingdom is almost the same, and no one can eat anyone, even if there are some powerful and powerful big sects, it is impossible to eat all the small and medium-sized sects at once! In this case, if the strength of a sect suddenly rises to a higher level, the cascading consequences caused by it will be unbearable for anyone! Therefore, others can accept a loose cultivator Yuan Ping, but they absolutely cannot accept a voodoo sect monk Yuan Ping! Not to mention—"

Yuan Ping took a deep breath, word by word, and said categorically, "Even if my life is worry-free, I will never help the Voodoo Sect cultivate the raw materials of the colorful poisonous mist!" (Welcome to your support, it is my greatest motivation.) )
