Chapter 5: Rumors of the Yuangu
After learning the truth, Jiang Sheng and Jiang Xian began to plot revenge, they decided that Jiang Xian would not show up for the time being, so they lived in seclusion in Mangshan and secretly plotted, and Jiang Sheng came forward to secretly contact the old marquis and collect evidence to wait for the opportunity to overthrow Jiang Chen. It's just that at this time, Jiang Chen was already full-fledged, not only did he not make any progress, but it aroused his suspicions, and he took the opportunity to gradually clear out more than a dozen people who were close to Jiang Sheng.
At this time, Jiang Chen began to tear his face, if it weren't for Jiang Sheng's strength and the backer behind him, the Northern Spirit King, and Jiang Sheng had not touched his core secret, Jiang Sheng would have been removed long ago. Even so, he began to gradually elevate Jiang Sheng, making his position as the city lord slowly become an ornament.
After Jiang Sheng and Jiang Xian realized that they might not be able to fight Jiang Chen with their wits alone, they adopted another way to go out to practice from time to time, hoping to suppress and replace him with absolute strength after they could improve their cultivation. But for more than ten years, there has been little progress either, and the only gain is the adoption of Long Yan by chance.
After Long Yan grew up, Jiang Sheng gradually lost his thoughts of revenge and focused all his energy on cultivating Long Yan. Although Long Yan's physique is unknown, it is not ordinary, and there seems to be a strange power, so Jiang Sheng did not rush to let him try to cultivate, but tried every means to find and verify Long Yan's physique.
In the past ten years, Jiang Sheng has gradually collected many movements of Jiang Chen's traffic Shura clan, and Long Yan stayed in the North Hades City, and also explored some clues of the North Hades Mansion traffic Shura clan in the words of the little marquis and the young patriarchs of various families, but he was suffering from not enough evidence.
This made Jiang Chen, who had already relaxed his monitoring and rectification of Jiang Sheng, pay attention to it again, and began to look for every opportunity openly and secretly to put Jiang Sheng and Long Yan to death. The reason why he didn't start directly was not because Jiang Chen was benevolent, but because Jiang Sheng's strength was one line higher than him, and he had the Northern Spirit King as a backer behind him, so he needed to be strategic to retreat.
At the end, the old man Kuzhu sighed and said: "This is the cause and effect of this matter, and when you killed the youngest son of the Northern Marquis by mistake, he finally waited for a good opportunity to cut you off, so that this time there was a conspiracy that was the same as framing the old marquis, but this time it was more vicious, not only to put you to death, but also to put a big hat on your head, so that you would never be able to turn over." Now it seems that his youngest son may have been deliberately sent to you by him, because it is rumored that that kid is congenitally deficient and can hardly do anything in martial arts and immortal paths. ”
Long Yan also sighed: "In this way, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, so Jiang Chen's traffic Shura clan to harm the human race is not just beginning, but has been premeditated." And he has been hidden for so long, the plan is definitely not small, a mere Northern Immortal Marquis is estimated to not be able to satisfy his appetite, in his major event, the catastrophe we suffered is estimated to be just a small episode that coincides with it. ”
Kuzhu raised his eyebrows and praised: "I can't see that your kid is smart and tight, I have been thinking hard for a few years to come to a conclusion, and you have been able to break it once, and it is really in vain Your mysterious background and origin, it seems that you are very human." ”
"By the way, Grandpa Kuzhu, what is my background and background? Why is my surname Long instead of my grandfather's surname Jiang?"
Kuzhu pitched up slightly and said slowly: "According to your grandfather, he met you in a desperate outer perimeter, you were surrounded by nine-colored flames, sleeping quietly in the middle of a small basin, and all the beasts within a radius of a hundred miles around you escaped. Your grandfather waited for you for nearly a hundred days before those magical flames were extinguished, and because you held the Nine Dragons Jade Pendant, he named you Long Yan. ”
"So, I don't know who my parents are?" Long Yan said.
"Well, your grandfather searched all the nearby villages and cities at that time, and he didn't get the slightest information, but it is certain that that piece of Nine Dragons Jade Pendant must have a lot to do with your background, and you will have a chance to start from it in the future. "The old man of bitter bamboo is colored.
Long Yan nodded helplessly and said: "It's okay, it's just that my grandfather can't come forward at the moment, even if I get the relevant evidence, we can't fight against the Northern Hell Mansion, not to mention that now we can't be sure that they will definitely fall for the trick, if they continue to forbear, we still have nothing to do." ”
The old man Kuzhu pondered for a moment and slowly analyzed: "Don't worry about this, as long as they want to get rid of you and your grandfather's original intention remains unchanged, then they will definitely be tricked, but looking at the current situation, I'm afraid we have to carry out the preparatory plan." ”
"Grandpa Kuzhu, how do you say this, do they see any flaws in us?" Long Yan asked in amazement.
"Yan'er, you remember, don't underestimate your opponent at any time, not to mention that the Northern Immortal Marquis is a much stronger opponent than us, you see. Kuzhu took out several jade talismans with a solemn face, and rubbed his hands, the jade talismans shattered and merged into the void, and several mirrors immediately appeared in the void, and in each mirror there were several figures in different costumes shaking.
Kuzhu raised his finger and pointed at these mirrors and said to the stunned Long Yan: "This is a few magic circles that I have arranged at several key points around Mangshan, which can project images from a radius of hundreds of miles here, you see those people, they should be spies sent by the Northern Hell Marquis, the original residents near Mangshan are not of this temperament, these people have an obvious murderous aura, it can be determined that they are the sergeants of the Red Fire Battalion, it seems that your hand is not deceived by the Northern Hades Hou." ”
"Then will they find out about this place?" asked Long Yan worriedly.
Kuzhu laughed and said: "Don't worry about this, although your Kuzhu grandfather's cultivation is not high, but to say that the level of this magic circle, it is not an exaggeration to say that at least there is no one in the Dragon Inlay Country." Seeing that Long Yan looked eager to try in his eyes, he knew that he wanted to ask himself to teach, so he turned around and continued: "I know you want to learn this, don't worry, solve the problem in front of you first, and then let's talk about the law array." ”
Long Yan smiled embarrassedly, touched his head and said, "Then Grandpa Kuzhu, how are we going to adjust next?"
Kuzhu smiled and said in a deep voice: "Judging from the current situation, the Marquis of the Northern Underworld should have guessed that your grandfather is hiding in the Beimang Mountain, but they can't find the exact location, as long as your grandfather is not discovered by them, there is no problem for you to do anything in the Northern Underworld City, as long as you don't push them too hard, you will be safe." ”
"At the same time, judging from the fact that they didn't search the mountains on a large scale, it's clear that they also need time and timing, and it is not known exactly what it is, but it is definitely not good for us, and the more prepared they are, the less chance we have to turn the tables, so we should shift our focus to the preparatory plan at the moment. ”
"This preparatory plan is that you must make sure that you are admitted to the Dragon Teng Academy, so that you can cross the Northern Spirit King and strive to face the Dragon Emperor directly. At worst, they must also strive to obtain the qualification to challenge the princes, and if they can replace the Northern Immortal Marquis, everything will be easy to do next. It's just that this road will be difficult, but it is also the best way to win, and the disadvantage is that it will take a long time, and there may be many dangers and variables in the middle, which you need to face yourself. ”
Long Yan pondered, and his gaze gradually changed from doubt to firmness: "Grandpa Kuzhu, since it is possible for them to discover our intentions, then we will change from passive waiting to taking the initiative to disrupt their deployment. I'm going to do my best to prepare for the exam next, and the Dragon Teng Academy should not only have a chance to solve the incident of the Northern Underworld, but it may also be of great help in figuring out my background. ”
"It's just that if you participate at your current level and cultivation speed, I'm afraid it will be very difficult. Kuzhu said worriedly.
Long Yan smiled and replied: "This Kuzhu grandpa doesn't have to worry, although my cultivation path is difficult, but fortunately, there is already a beginning, even if it is difficult, it is just the tempering of the cultivation path, not to mention that whether it is cultivating immortals or cultivating martial arts, they are all pioneered by the world, there may not be no third way to go, as long as the mind is firm, then there is hope." ”
"Good boy, I can't see that you still have such insight, even so, I have nothing to worry about, your grandfather is very safe with me, although the preparatory plan was launched, but the original plan was not canceled, the envoy of the Northern Spirit King will still secretly sit in the North Underworld to monitor the Northern Underworld Mansion, you can do it with confidence." Kuzhu laughed when he heard this.
Then he condensed with laughter, took out a scroll of beast skin and handed it to Long Yan and said solemnly: "This is a half-volume of the Yuan Gu Array fragment from the Jedi and my experience of enlightenment, if my expectations are good, the Northern Hell Mansion will not let you be easily admitted to the Longteng Academy, they will use all kinds of means to stop you, and even get rid of you at all costs, this process will definitely be nine deaths." And to successfully pass the exam and get the relevant evidence, it is far from enough to rely on force alone, the magic circle can greatly increase your combat power, if you have a high level of understanding, and you can understand Xiaocheng in a short time, then there is no problem. ”
Long Yan was overjoyed when he heard this, stood up and took the animal skin scroll with both hands, bowed down and said: "Yan'er has thanked Grandpa Kuzhu for giving books and passing on the art, in order to prevent the people of the Northern Underworld from exploring this place, Yan'er will not stay here much, I don't know when we can meet again, my grandfather will ask a lot." After saying that, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the bitter bamboo.
Kuzhu did not shirk, accepted Long Yan's salute with a smile, and said with a smile: "You can go with confidence, your grandfather has no worries about his life, he just needs some time and opportunity, we are waiting here to hear your good news." ”
Long Yan stood up, waved at the bitter bamboo again, turned around and went to the door of the inner hall to see Jiang Sheng, and left quickly without looking back.
Kuzhu watched Long Yan's figure disappear at the end of the bamboo forest path, then he smiled, came to the couch of Jiang Sheng in the inner hall and said softly: "Brother, it seems that your original idea was right, Yan'er, this child is really extraordinary, his current cultivation I can't see through, it should be the mysterious inheritance on his body that has begun to awaken, but I don't know where he can rush, it's a pity that you don't know when you wake up, brother, otherwise we will listen to Yan'er's good news, which is also a great pleasure." ”
Outside the bamboo forest, Long Yan stopped and looked back, but saw that the path in the forest was still intricate, the clouds were entangled in fog, and there was no trace of human habitation, so he couldn't help but sigh in his heart The magic of the magic circle, and his heart increased his hope for the half of the fragment of the Yuan Gu magic circle.
Carrying the Panlong Nine Mind Changing Method, Long Yan disappeared into the void and walked quickly towards the outside of Mang Mountain. Along the way, he kept encountering the secret agents of the Northern Underworld Mansion, and Long Yan sneered in his heart.
Half a day later, Long Yan performed the Panlong Nine Mind Change Method several times on the way, and finally returned to the depths of the lonely mountain smoothly. The current time of this Panlong Nine Transformations and One Mind Change Technique can only be maintained for half an hour when it is hidden in the void, and it is not sure whether the high-level monks will be able to see through it, so Long Yan is also doubly careful when using it.
Long Yan once again sat down on the top of the small mountain peak where he had stayed before, closed his eyes and probed the movements within a radius of a hundred miles, and it was obvious that the scouts of the Red Fire Camp were moving wildly in this area. Long Yan retracted his spiritual sense, chuckled lightly, and then stood up, and took Chi'er to speed towards the northern underworld without hesitation.
In the evening, Long Yan returned to the North Underworld City, secretly sensed it, and found that there was a tail looming behind him following him, and he didn't need to look at it to know that it was someone from the North Underworld Mansion. He also ignored it, and went directly to several crude medicine shops in the city, spending hundreds of taels of red gold to buy a large number of medicinal materials.
These medicinal materials are prepared according to a prescription attached to the "Kailing Sutra", the prescription is called Rong Yuan San, which has a powerful effect of increasing the speed of absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, but the medicinal materials required are more common in the world, but the proportion of preparation is very different, which also proves the extraordinaryness of this "Kailing Sutra" on the other hand.
In the following days, Long Yan stayed at his home in Wuyi Lane, preparing Rong Yuan Scatter and cultivating the "Enlightenment Sutra" in order to make a splash in the upcoming Longteng Academy exam.
To Long Yan's surprise, when he was cultivating Yuan Li, the Nine Dragons Jade Pendant actually revealed a trace of coolness, constantly pouring into the sea of knowledge, making Long Yan's perception extremely keen. Long Yan tried to release his spiritual sense at this time, and found that the coverage area had actually increased a little.
Long Yan couldn't help but be ecstatic, this mutated Nine Dragons Jade Pendant also has the effect of cultivating spiritual sense, although it is slow, but over time, the increase is absolutely unimaginable. This made him feel more and more that this Nine Dragons Jade Pendant and the extraordinaryness of his own life experience associated with it. He couldn't help but faintly look forward to where the path he had chosen would take him.
After the anticipation and excitement slowly subsided, Long Yan gradually immersed himself in selfless cultivation. What Long Yan didn't know was that because he had activated the Nine Dragons Jade Pendant, the five continents and four islands to which the Tian Yuan Continent belonged were brewing an unprecedented uproar.
The nine nations of the Terran Race sent envoys one after another, and after secretly contacting each other, hundreds of special teams were deployed to carry out a secret search in the vast land of the Tian Yuan Continent.
At the same time, the Shura and Demon Clans were not far behind, not only sending a large-scale search team, but also quietly infiltrating a number of people into the Wubu Continent controlled by the Terrans to collect all the relevant information of the Nine Dragons Jade Pendant, and even the most mysterious Underworld occasionally appeared.
For a while, the Tian Yuan Continent was surging under the cover of a calm surface, and not only all the forces were alarmed, but even some of the hidden families that had never appeared in the world, the God Gu Demon King and the Shura King, were also ready to move.
The Nine Dragons Jade Pendant, the treasure ranked first on the Yuangu Jade Wall Divine Weapon List, attracted great attention from all the forces on the five continents and four islands of the Tian Yuan Continent. It is rumored that the top ten treasures on the Yuangu Yubi Divine Weapon List are called the Ten Sacred Weapons of Yuangu, all of which have the wonderful use of being overwhelmed, and each one of them will cause a shocking catastrophe.
Two million years ago, the third-ranked Zhu Yu Fan was born, which led to the collapse of the Tianyuan Continent, forming the current pattern of five continents and four islands, with more than 100 genocides, only the human race, the demon race and the Shura race.
A million years ago, the seventh-ranked Sanwuyin was born, and the only three remaining races fought for it, although the sky did not fall apart, but it also accumulated like a mountain of wreckage, and the blood flowed like a river.
The demon clan and the Shura clan were crippled and basically expelled from the Tianyuan Great Rim, and the few surviving spheres of influence were also compressed into the two harsh continents in the north and south, relying on the support of their own people's sea lanes, barely maintained, but they also became the foil of the human race.
However, due to internal strife, the human race was divided into nine kingdoms, and under the internal strife, its strength was greatly reduced, and it formed a delicate balance with the remaining forces of the two races.
However, what is puzzling is that Zhu Yufan and Sanwuyin mysteriously disappeared after the killing, and no one knows its whereabouts. Now, it is actually the top-ranked Nine Dragons Jade Pendant who was born, how can it not make these forces tremble, as if facing a great enemy?
