Chapter 636: Xinglong Dharma Tomb (I)
There was still some distance from the gate of Xinglong Prison to the entrance to the Rift Valley, and this distance was surrounded by a wall, forming a small fan-shaped city, which was where the jailers lived. Most of the guards stay here when they don't need to patrol the rift, and the vast forests on both sides of the rift, which are also surrounded by high walls, have rarely entered, and even if they do, only on the edges. In this forest, there are a lot of monster beasts with strong bodies, although these monster beasts are nothing at all outside, but here, these monster beasts with strong bodies are the strongest existence, even the jailers rarely provoke them.
The work here is easy and boring, with the jailers only having to go into the Rift Valley once every three days to patrol the valley floor, and a new group of jailers stationed at the bottom of the valley for a month every other month, and the rest of the time is freely distributed. The environment of Xinglong Prison is not suitable for cultivation at all, so most of the jailers here will find a side door path that they like to learn in their free time, such as alchemy, making tools, planting medicine, etc., so that after the expiration of their term of office, these jailers do not have a solid foundation side door way. This kind of foundation can make them have a great innate advantage in the side door path they have learned, and they can quickly become the leader of this side door way, so the various forces of the War Demon Cliff also attach great importance to these jailers, as long as the term of office expires, most of the jailers will be co-opted by the major forces and become their core members, and there are also several jailers who have served as the jailers of Xinglong Prison among the Dan Master Supervisors and Pharmacist Supervisors of the Dan Dao Society.
In addition to learning the way of the side door, most of the jailers will take advantage of the strange wind that blows at 2 o'clock in the meridian every day to condense their minds. Although this strange wind is an extremely painful torture for the prisoners of Xinglong Prison, for those who have not been marked with the forbidden punishment seal, this strange wind is the best thing to temper their minds. The jailers often used this tempering to consolidate the foundation of the mind to a surprising degree, so that they were able to reduce many obstacles in their subsequent training, and although it could not be said to be smooth sailing, it was not far off. This kind of talent is naturally the object of competition among the major forces, and it is also a good shortcut for those who want to be able to join the various forces and be reused.
Under the leadership of the jailer, Xu Changqing soon came to the front of the prison master's building, and the prison master who received the news was already waiting in front of the door, and when he saw Xu Changqing coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Yuan Gu, a disciple of Dingfeng Mountain, has seen Shangxian. ”
"Dingfeng Mountain?" Xu Changqing was stunned for a moment, and quickly remembered this Battle Demon Cliff force. It is one of the few demon immortal forces in the War Demon Cliff, although its power is inconspicuous among the large and small forces of the War Demon Cliff, but the strength of the internal members and disciples is also very strong, but most of them are not used to walking around outside and communicating with other forces.
The prison master standing in front of Xu Changqing's eyes now is also a demon immortal, and he can't even be called an immortal, because his body still exudes a strong demonic aura, and his appearance is more like a beast than a human.
Xu Changqing had no intention of beating around the bush, and after returning the salute, he said directly: "This seat is here this time to find Du Chengen, the special envoy of the War Demon Cliff who came here not long ago to release Gongliangjue, I wonder if the prison master has his whereabouts?"
"This ......" Hearing what Xu Changqing said, a look of panic immediately appeared on Yuan Gu's monkey face, his throat was dry, and he hurriedly let go of his body, made a gesture of please, and said: "This is not the place to talk, please go up to the immortal and talk about it after entering the building." ”
Xu Changqing saw Yuan Gu's expression and felt that this matter was a little strange, but he didn't ask here, but walked into the main prison building as he wished.
"You go and call Li Jing. The prison master Yuan Gu then gave an order to the jailer, and then quickly followed forward and led Xu Changqing to the top of the building. The top floor of this prison lord building is just a catastrophe higher than the inner city wall, and you can see the general scenery of Xinglong Prison from a distance, and you can also see the great rift valley that is several miles wide, unfathomable, and endless, which shows that the people who built this building also spent a lot of thought.
"Good view!" Xu Changqing stood by the window and saw a lush forest in Xinglong Prison, surrounded by clouds and mist, like an ink painting, which was refreshing.
"No matter how good the scenery is, it will become boring after watching it countless times!" Yuan Gu stood behind Xu Changqing and said with emotion, and then said with a straight face: "I don't know if the immortals have ever heard of the Xinglong Law Tomb?"
"Xinglong Dharma Mound?" Xu Changqing thought for a while and said, "Prison Master Yuan is talking about the Xinglong Mound, which contains the Xinglong Dharma Tomb that the Xinglong Prison prisoners have cultivated by themselves?"
"Exactly!" Yuan Gu nodded, seeing that Xu Changqing didn't know much about the Xinglong Law Mound, so he explained: "The prisoners who were imprisoned in Xinglong Prison were almost all famous people in this Chaoyuan Tianhe, with advanced cultivation and proficient in all kinds of Dao methods, very few of them were able to leave alive, and most of them died here. I don't know who started this matter, in short, the prisoners of Xinglong Prison gradually have a habit, that is, before they die, they will go to the center of the rift valley of Xinglong Prison, that is, at the junction of the Battle Demon Cliff and the land controlled by the Immortal Palace, and carve what they have learned all their lives on the stone wall. Over time, there are thousands of Dao methods carved on the stone wall, covering almost all kinds of methods in the three realms of Kunlun. ”
After hearing this, Xu Changqing felt that this Xinglong Dharma Tomb had some similarities with his own Bitter Medicine Hall Stone Tablet, but then he showed a puzzled look and asked: "This seat has also heard of the peculiarities of the Xinglong Dharma Tomb, it stands to reason that there are so many secret preaching methods, this place should become a forbidden place, why does the Battle Demon Cliff never pay attention to it?"
"There's a reason for that. Yuan Gu smiled bitterly, sighed and said: "You must know that the people who are imprisoned here used to be all high-ranking people, but now they are knocked down into the clouds, and they must suffer two painful tortures every day, and the resentment in their hearts will naturally accumulate endless resentment, how can they be willing to leave the Dao Fa to future generations!"
"You're saying that the Dao is all fake?"
"Not all of them are false, some of them are true, some are half-truths, and some are completely false. Yuan Gu said, took out a booklet from the bookcase on one side, handed it to Xu Changqing, and said: "Which of those prisoners is not a person who is the best in the world, it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the falsehood of the Dao method they have modified, and if they do not practice to the end, it is difficult to see what danger is in it, even the people of their own sect cannot distinguish the truth from the false, let alone others." In those days, there were many people who practiced the Dao Fa, some people were lucky and succeeded, but more of them went mad in the end and ended up dying. It is precisely because of this that neither the Immortal Palace nor the Battle Demon Cliff pay attention to it, and only those casual cultivators who have no way out will go to find a Dao method and try their luck. ”
Xu Changqing took the booklet and looked through it, what was recorded on it was a sword sect of the Qing sect on the inner gate Lingshan that Xu Changqing knew, the method was mysterious, it could be called the top grade, and it was also recorded in great detail, from the details of each layer of cultivation to the realm of fire and heat, and the cultivation perception of the person who carved this method was added later, which made people can't help but have an urge to practice when they see it. It's just that Xu Changqing quickly saw some of the strangeness in this method, there were some subtle loopholes in each layer of inconspicuous cultivation methods, some of them missed a method of recovering qi, and some of them simply changed the meridians of the operation of the immortal yuan, and so on. These small details may not cause any problems when practicing, but at the end of the practice, all the deviations will come together, and eventually the person who practices this method will fall into a miserable trap.
If the method recorded in the booklet is not for a person like Xu Changqing, I am afraid it will be difficult to see the flaws in it, and even if it is done, after it is corrected, I am afraid that there are still some unknown dangers in it. Therefore, practicing this method is really a bit like gambling, and if you win, you will be able to soar into the sky, and if you fail to gamble, not only will your life not be guaranteed, but even whether your soul can be saved.
"But what does this have to do with Du Chengen?" Xu Changqing closed the booklet, handed it back to Yuan Gu, and asked suspiciously.
"It has nothing to do with Du Chengen's immortals, but it has something to do with Gongliangjue. Yuan Gu said with envy: "As far as the little demon knows, Gongliangjue once looked for a Dao method to practice in this Xinglong Dharma Mound, but he was far luckier than others and found a Dao method that could be practiced. ”
Hearing what Yuan Gu said, Xu Changqing immediately thought of Gongliangjue's superb Huangquan ghost cultivation method, thinking that the Yuxu Third Family was the authentic Xuanmen, it should be impossible for them to have this ghost cultivation method, and now it seems that this Dao method should come from this Xinglong Dharma Mound, so he asked tentatively: "The Dao method you are talking about is a ghost cultivation method?"
"Exactly. Yuan Gu nodded, and then said in a meaningful whisper: "It seems that Gong Liangjue must have returned to the Battle Demon City, but it is ridiculous that the masters of those large and small sects in the Battle Demon Cliff don't know who they have released with a pardon order, I am afraid that even after the beast tide attacks the city, the Battle Demon City will not want to be at peace." As he spoke, he suddenly realized that this should not be said by him, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Maybe the immortals don't know yet, in fact, the current Xinglong Mound is not the original one, the current Xinglong Mound is only newly built three hundred years ago, and it is divided into the Battle Demon Cliff Mound and the Immortal Palace Mound. ”
"Why is this happening?" Xu Changqing frowned slightly and asked.
"Three hundred years ago, a supreme yin death qi suddenly arose in the rift valley of the Xinglong Prison, wrapping the entire Xinglong Dharma Tomb, and no one could enter. If it was before, the prisoners of Xinglong Prison would not have worried about this supreme yin death qi, but now that their cultivation has been sealed, they will definitely die if they are touched by this supreme yin death qi, so the later prisoners will abandon the original Xinglong Dharma Tomb and rebuild a Xinglong Dharma Tomb on both sides of that supreme yin death qi. Yuan Gu explained, then his voice changed, and he said: "But that Gongliangjue is an exception, he seems to have a special physique, he is not afraid of yin and death, and can freely enter and exit the previous Xinglong Dharma Tomb. When Du Chengen came to the immortal that day, Gongliangjue was in the Xinglong Dharma Tomb. ”
