Chapter 38: The Seal of Tranquility
The night was low and the bonfires were blazing.
In a leeward valley, Jiang Mu and Shen Li and other Shenhua Sect disciples chose to camp here.
That Shen Li was quite talkative and had a frank temperament, so Jiang Mu also learned that these Shenhua Sect disciples were not only going out to practice, but also patrolling the periphery of the Demon Hell Mountain.
The reason for this, Shen Li is not taboo, and said bluntly: "Since the founding of my Shenhua Sect, it has existed to guard the Demon Hell Mountain, and there were four sects around the Demon Hell Mountain to guard it, but the years are ruthless, and the world is easy to grow old, for tens of thousands of years, the other three guarding sects have either declined or left, and only the Shenhua Sect is still persistent." ”
"And the reason why this sect can persist is because of flexibility, through the establishment of a fang market to trade with the outside world, and at the same time migrate mortals, invite fellow practitioners in the immortal cultivation world to come to open up the barren, set up a sect, open a sect, thousands of years ago, there was only Shenhua Sect under the Demon Hell Mountain, but now it has opened up the five counties of Xishu, there are twelve sects, millions of mortals."
"Therefore, those who can come to the five counties of Xishu are actually our guests."
Shen Li's indirect introduction also made Jiang Mu probably understand why they were so enthusiastic.
Speaking of which, the five counties of Shannan have been pioneered for nearly 5,000 years, and the total number of mortals is 20 million, and it is still a barren land.
There are even fewer of the five counties of Xishu, and the five counties together are only about one million mortals.
But the five counties of Shannan are open, there are many plains, and the number of mortals is small for another reason, the five counties of Xishu are really desolate and sinister, there are mountains everywhere, there is no so-called road out of the mountains at all, and even some larger cities are built between the mountains.
"Shen Daoyou, why does the Demon Hell Mountain have to be guarded, I heard you say before that there are still remnants of the Great Array left by the Gu Immortals here, could it be that there is something else suppressed in the Demon Hell Mountain? Of course, if you don't know how to answer. ”
Jiang Mu found an opportunity to ask.
"Hey, what's inconvenient to answer, the truth is that it's been too long, and even our Shenhua Sect itself doesn't know what is going on, only that it has something to do with that Gu Immortal's promise."
"Gu Immortal's Promise?" Jiang Mu was taken aback.
"Why, Daoist friends also know this rumor." Shen Li was not surprised.
"I saw it from the sect classics, I thought it was a rumor." Jiang Mu said calmly, but his heart was full of excitement.
"In fact, there should be a lot of people who know this rumor, and those sects in the world of cultivating immortals that have been inherited for more than a thousand years basically know that there is even an inscription on the inheritance hall of this sect, 'In the past, there were ancient immortals, praying for heaven and promise, and those who went against the sky to seek immortality violated the harmony of heaven, so they should take it as their responsibility to protect the common people in the world, build the avenue inside, kill the demons outside, and control the world with great power, if this promise is violated, the sky will hate it.' Every month in our morning class, all the disciples had to recite it. ”
Shen Li said casually, it seems that this is really the case, that is, there are some discrepancies between this content and Jiang Mu's knowledge.
After thinking about it, Jiang Mu asked, "What will happen if God is disgusted?" ”
Shen Li was stunned for a moment, "This, I really haven't thought about it, this thing, we all treat it as an ancestral teaching, of course, one of my Shenhua Sect disciples is counted as one, and they will not violate the ancestral teachings, let alone do things that hurt heaven and reason, walking between heaven and earth, just have a clear conscience, isn't this enough?" ”
What Shen Li said, Jiang Mu was speechless, he thought of the words left by the founding patriarch of the Floating Cloud Sect, but he begged to be ashamed.
No matter what others do, my behavior, my disciples are worthy of it, and I am worthy of it.
It is estimated that there are immortal cultivators in the immortal cultivation world who have such thoughts, and there are not a few immortal cultivation sects.
But they probably didn't expect that the consequence of the disgust of heaven would be the loss of aura.
And for now, it's irreversible and destined to happen.
At this time, Jiang Mu couldn't help but think back to the expression of Ye Fei, the head of the Autumn Mountain Sect, who seemed to be smiling after he took out the jade slip that recorded the Gu Immortal Promise, as well as Gong Xiaoxiao, the owner of the East Lake Mountain Villa, a person who started with intelligence, it was impossible not to know the rumors of the Gu Immortal Promise.
So in fact, in the world of cultivating immortals, anyone who has a sect inheritance will more or less have relevant records in the sect classics, as long as there is a heart, they will basically know.
But only to know.
Whether you care or not, that's another matter.
Jiang Mu sighed and lost interest in talking, but at this moment, the earth trembled slightly, and there was a faint roar in the depths of the ground, followed by an extremely strange roar, just listening to it, you would feel that the blood veins around your body were stagnant, and your divine thoughts were taken away.
"Concentrate!"
A loud shout suddenly sounded in his ears, and then a hot force pressed on Jiang Mu's eyebrows, and in an instant, he seemed to see a round of red sun from the level of consciousness, and the golden light of the Dao Dao flickered, enveloping his divine thoughts, and he was back to normal in just an instant.
Jiang Mu opened his eyes and saw that Shen Li's right hand was being withdrawn, and the light of a magic seal protected him.
Before he had time to say thanks, Jiang Mu hurriedly closed his eyes and sensed the red sun at the level of consciousness, which had a special, almost instantaneous tempering effect on his divine thoughts.
It's a pity that this round of red sun at the level of consciousness only lasted for ten breaths in the end, and then quickly disappeared.
Jiang Mu opened his eyes again, and saw that Shen Li and the twelve Shenhua Sect disciples had already been cleaned up, and none of them were affected.
"Shen Daoyou, thank you for your help, what just happened?"
Shen Li smiled, "It's not a big deal, it's just a slight vibration inside the Demon Hell Mountain, we have long been used to it, but every time the Demon Hell Mountain shakes, there will inevitably be some ancient demon corpses escaping, we have to catch it and seal it, it may be a little dangerous......"
"Although my strength is low, I am willing to help you." Jiang Mu hurriedly said, without mentioning the grace of Fang Cai Shen Li's help, just said that this was the best opportunity to get closer to the Shenhua Sect, and he would not miss it, well, especially the Divine Fixing Law Seal cast by Fang Cai Shen Li, he was very interested.
"It's fine."
Shen Li nodded, "However, the strange roar under the Demon Hell Mountain has a lot of damage to those who do not have high divine thoughts, and our Shenhua Sect has the Divine Concentration Law Seal, so we are not afraid, but Daoists need to be careful." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Mu took out ten pieces of Divine Grade Spirit Jade without hesitation, but said in his mouth, "Please ask Shen Daoyou to seal the Five Dao Divine Spirit Jade for me." ”
Shen Li was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and accepted it, not polite at all, their Shenhua Sect has been guarding under this Demon Hell Mountain for tens of thousands of years, if they want resources but no resources, if they don't know how to be flexible, they should have decayed a long time ago.
However, this mysterious and real Taoist friend has a very generous net worth, and he sells ten pieces of divine spirit jade, and the market price is five thousand spirit stones.
In an instant, Shen Li sealed the Eight Divine Spirit Jade for Jiang Mu in one go, leaving two pieces that were enough for wages.
However, he looked a little sluggish at this time, and it was obviously a lot of consumption.
"Shen Daoyou, why don't you rest?" Jiang Mu was a little worried.
"It's okay, but Daoist friends don't know the uniqueness of my Shenhua Sect Seal, and it must be stimulated by the three essences and spirits at the same time, and then form a mark with mana, so although the consumption is large, the recovery is also fast!"
"Without further ado, let's go!"
Shen Li spoke, led the team into the air, and rushed forward.
