The people of the Daomen rested in Ai Li's City Lord's Mansion for three days, which was a great comfort to the people who had been sleeping in the open for the past half a month, after all, there was wine and meat, comfortable accommodation, warm fire, and beautiful maids, although under Zhang Yuelu's nose, no one dared to move any crooked thoughts, but it was also good to be pleasing to the eye.

During these three days, Qi Xuansu was not idle, he asked Shangguan Dun for the language of the Western Continent, not seeking to be able to write dialogues, but only to be able to use some simple daily vocabulary.

As for Zhang Yuelu, she doesn't plan to learn, after the immortals enter the stage of heaven and man, they can learn a magical power called "Mind Reading", and "Mind Reading" also has a pre-set magical power, called "Heart Lake Voice", which can bypass the language barrier and communicate directly with the voice of the heart, she feels that instead of learning another language, it is better to directly practice this magical power.

Sanren naturally do not have such magical powers, they have neither "mind reading" nor "heart lake voice", only "innate divine calculation", which is not as good as "Ziwei Doushu". However, the basis of "innate divine arithmetic" is to use human calculations to calculate various variables to predict the trend trend, rather than predicting the future with the will of heaven, so after the "innate divine arithmetic" is cultivated to a certain extent, it can greatly increase brain power, which is manifested in the enhancement of memory and understanding.

There was once a Sanren of the Celestial and Human Stages who had completely learned the language of the Golden Horde in nine days, and was proficient in a total of sixteen languages in his lifetime, especially inscriptions and oracle bone inscriptions.

Relying on the advantage of scattered people, Qi Xuansu can already rely on a few simple words and various gestures to communicate with Arthur in three days.

The reason why Arthur was able to be sent to the East was that he naturally knew some Central Plains languages, but he was very difficult to speak, and it was easy to get to the bottom of his words, and he had a companion who was very proficient in the Central Plains languages, but unfortunately he died on the way here, so he needed Elle to translate.

In his spare time, Qi Xuansu also asked Zhang Yuelu about the similarities and differences of several major inheritances.

The differences between the several major inheritances of the Daomen are reflected in various aspects, the most important of which is the gap in combat power.

Daomen once specifically evaluated the combat power of several major inheritances that did not rely on things outside the body.

Qi refiners are the most stable, it is difficult to defeat opponents whose realm is higher than themselves, and it is difficult to lose to opponents whose realm is lower than themselves, and they have always been the mainstay of the Dao Sect. The Qi school in the three major lineages of Confucianism is very similar to the Qi Refiners.

Martial arts and monks are two extremes, and before the celestials, martial artists have an overwhelming advantage over superior soldiers. After the celestials, the Fang Shi can gradually compete head-on with the Wu Fu, and even have a slight advantage, because the Wu Fu cannot fly for a long time is a fatal death point, resulting in the Wu Fu as long as the Fang Shi is pulled away, he will be played with in applause. As for the human immortals fighting ghosts and immortals, they are full of unknown variables, and it all depends on their own performance.

Wu Zhu comes from the ancient witch religion and the ancient immortals, as a way of Shinto, similar to the Buddhist inheritance, it requires a large amount of incense willingness, the upper limit is extremely high, the lower limit is very low, as long as the incense wish is enough, it can compete with the immortals of the same realm without falling behind, and even win the battle, if the incense is not enough, it is almost the bottom of the five immortals, and it is even inferior to the scattered people.

As the head of the five immortals, there are too few samples, but there is no doubt that it is a crushing situation, and it is easier to defeat people who are higher than their own realm than those who are higher than their own realm than those who are Qi Refiners, and they have no defeat against opponents who are inferior to themselves in cultivation.

As for the scattered people, it can be said that there are all kinds of strange things, those who can win and can't win, and those who can't lose and can't lose, always unexpected, depending on the number and type of supernatural powers that the scattered people cultivate.

Since the development of the Sanren, there are a total of thirty-six methods of attainment, no one has ever been able to learn them all, and the truth is very simple, and many of them are in conflict with each other. Don't talk about other inheritances, just talk about martial arts and monks, martial arts pay attention to the integration of the soul and the body, and the monks want the soul to travel out of the body, is it unity or separation? If you forcibly cultivate and have not hurt the enemy, you will hurt yourself first.

So far, the highest record of the Sanren is to cultivate the twenty-four Shangcheng methods at the same time, which is known as comparable to the immortals, but it is a pity that this Sanren predecessor is also because of the miscellaneous and not refined, and he stopped at the stage of heaven and man, and failed to go further.

This has to mention the rules of the Daomen, no matter what the inheritance, before the celestials, you must strictly follow the fixed route of the Daomen to learn the supernatural powers within the prescribed range, and after arriving at the celestials, you can freely choose different methods of perfection and Dacheng according to your own preferences.

About before the Daomen thought that the heavenly beings did not have enough knowledge, insufficient concentration, and did not know why they were true, they were easy to go astray and go astray, and they must be strictly controlled. After arriving at the celestial beings, with their own discernment, they can relax their control, except for a few forbidden methods and restricted methods, everything cannot be cultivated.

Therefore, in a sense, only when you reach the stage of heaven and man can you really enter the house.

Three days later, Ellie's subordinates came with the news that there had indeed been many cases of missing people in Ugo Mountain recently, but the Western Regions had always been a lawless place, bandits were rampant, and the population flow was large, and the death of a few people was not a big deal, and the City Lord's Mansion did not care much, until Ellie ordered to look for the traces of outsiders, these cases were not taken seriously.

Through the clues in these cases, Ellie finally locked her eyes on the Black Night Mountain, about three hundred miles from the city of Mount Ugo.

It is a barren mountain, rarely visited. The vast Western Regions, vast and sparsely populated, and mostly uninhabited areas, so it is not unusual, but hundreds of years ago, there was a wizard with high magic power who lived on the Black Night Mountain, and this wizard cursed the royal family of Uggo Mountain at that time, and manipulated the lord of the country to rule Uggo Mountain Lane behind the scenes.

Later, the wizard died inexplicably, and it was rumored that the wizard died in a fight with other wizards, and Ugo Shanli was freed again, until the Ai family was defeated in the battle of Loulan City, retreated to this place, and captured Ugo Shanli.

To this day, the Night Hill still houses the Fort Thammut, where the wizards once lived.

Fort Thornmut was once a strategic fortress to resist the attack of the army, and then it was destroyed during the Golden Horde's expedition, and after the sorcerer who could no longer verify his real name occupied the place, only part of the area was initially restored, and the appearance of the year was not restored, and after the death of the sorcerer, the rulers of the past generations of Ugo Mountain suspected that there was a curse left by the sorcerer in the ancient castle, and did not dare to approach, so it has been abandoned to this day.

In this case, although the fort is almost in ruins, the terrain is complex and inaccessible. Undoubtedly, it is the most suitable place to hide.

After discussing with Qi Xuansu and others, Zhang Yuelu decided to immediately go to the Black Night Mountain to exterminate this group of demons, and then return to Kunlun to restore his life.

Qi Xuansu, Zhou Bai and others often walked in the rivers and lakes, and Lingquanzi was also an old man in Tiangangtang, of course they considered whether the Thornwood Fort would be a trap, but after repeated discussions, they still ruled out this possibility.

In the final analysis, it is the Daomen behind them that gives them such confidence, and few people dare to provoke the Daomen for no reason, Buddhism, shamanism, and ancient immortals dare to be enemies of the Daomen, because they are driven by huge interests behind them.

The Ai family apparently had no such motive. In other words, the risks are too great, the benefits are too small, and savvy businessmen will not make such a loss-making business.

Zhang Yuelu, Qi Xuansu and the others spent a day making two sets of plans, and then left the city the next day and headed for Fort Thornmut in the Black Night Mountain.

Ai Li originally wanted to send soldiers to help, but because of secrecy, Zhang Yuelu politely declined. Zhang Yuelu only brought forty Tiangangtang Taoist priests and Arthur to go.

It was not that Zhang Yuelu was careless, but that forty Tiangangtang Taoist priests gave her confidence.

Forty Tiangang Taoist priests seem to be a small number, but they cannot be underestimated. Because Qi Niang has long said very clearly and clearly, the threshold of Tiangang Hall is the seven-grade Taoist priest and the innate person, the lowest of these forty Tiangang Hall Taoist priests is also the Kunlun stage, and the highest Zhang Yuelu and Lingquanzi are the true stage, even against the last celestial, they have the power to fight.

And this configuration only belongs to the bottom of the Tiangang Hall, just like a house, just a simple frame is built, there is no tile on the top, and there is no wall below.

The other deputy hall masters are like the magnificent palace, because there are unwritten rules in the Tiangang Hall, the same forty regular servants with an establishment, and there will be two deputy servants who are not formally established, and the eight-grade Taoist priests who are not qualified are filled, and each deputy is equipped with two temporary servants, with the nine-grade Taoist priests, and the main service of a seven-grade Taoist priest is actually equivalent to seven people, and forty regular servants are nearly three hundred people. In addition to this, there are also spiritual officers who are directly subordinate to the deputy hall master.

If it is the chief deputy hall master, there are three hundred people under his command, which is more than two thousand people, plus the spirit officer, up to four or five thousand people, which is also the reason why the deputy hall masters can rush to the aid of the Western Regions Daofu.

In the final analysis, it was because Zhang Yuelu's foundation was too shallow, and the main officer under his command had not yet had time to recruit a deputy officer, let alone a temporary deputy officer.

On the way to the Black Night Mountain, Arthur relayed some precautions through Shangguan Don, such as not letting the sinners hurt themselves, otherwise they will be reduced to the living dead like beasts, and these sinners are difficult to kill, they have characteristics similar to the flesh and blood of martial arts, all external injuries will heal quickly, and only the heart and head are the weaknesses. And when necessary, they will also turn into bats and pools of blood, which is very difficult.

This is completely different from the zombies that Tiangangtang often deals with, but Zhang Yuelu is also prepared, not afraid of swords, always afraid of spells, the configuration of forty Tiangangtang Taoists is mainly based on qi refiners, martial artists and Fangshi, and with the cooperation of each other, they can exert greater power than a single inheritance.

After arriving at the foot of the Black Night Mountain, Qi Xuansu found that the Black Night Mountain was actually just a small mountain, not to mention that compared with Kunlun, which stretched for thousands of miles, it was much smaller than the Maoxian Mountain outside Fengtai County, and it could only be regarded as a small mountain.

After Zhang Yuelu observed the terrain, he first sent five Qi Refiners to occupy several commanding heights with clairvoyant mirrors and Zimu talismans to observe the specific situation in the mountains.

Then Zhang Yuelu ordered ten monks to set up a "Split Yin Halberd" formation at the mountain pass into the mountain, and then ordered ten martial artists to block the ground with rocks, civil engineering, or use gunpowder and ravines to destroy the earth's air circulation, so that the "living water" became "dead water".

These actions were all attempts to destroy the possible formations in Fort Thornmut from the outside, as if the moats and moats outside the city had to be filled in before the siege was taken.
