Chapter 187: The Situation of the War
The war between the Nine Yang Sect and the Blood Sea Sect was in full swing.
Although Lin Shen didn't pay much attention, he also heard that the sect seemed to be falling behind.
After all, the opponent is a powerful sect that rules a big city, and the Jiuyang Sect is only one of the three major sects in Linlong City, and the difference in strength is very obvious, even if it is not a huge disparity.
Therefore, the Spirit Cave Recruitment Mission released by the Jiuyang Sect in the Merit Academy has extremely rich rewards, just to attract more disciples from the sect to participate in the Spirit Cave War.
Lin Shen first went to the Merit Courtyard, took the recruitment task, and received the talisman to enter the underground spirit cave, and then left the mountain gate and rushed to the Longyuan Mountain Range.
Riding the Cloud Flying Boat, it didn't take long for Lin Shen to arrive at the underground spirit cave.
What was once a desolate and secluded mountain peak is now noisy and lively, with clouds and flying boats coming and going.
The brilliance emanating from the spells and magic weapons almost dyed the sky above the entire mountain peak with a layer of misty colors.
Lin Shen let go of his spiritual sense, and quickly sensed the layers of prohibitions that enveloped the entire mountain.
Even if he didn't experience it himself, he could clearly perceive the power of these prohibitions.
Even if the power of the Dan period comes, it is estimated that it will not be able to break this layer of prohibition for a while.
"It seems that the sect has put a lot of effort into this!" Lin Shen said secretly.
Most of these prohibitions are internal, and it is self-evident who the target of prevention is.
Putting away the boat, Lin Shen took out the talisman to open the prohibition and landed on the mountainside.
Immediately, a disciple greeted him and routinely checked the sign.
Although it was an inspection, his demeanor was very respectful.
After all, the people who can take the conscription mission right now are all monks without exception.
And the people who patrolled on the mountain peak were all disciples of the Ming Realm Realm, so naturally they didn't dare to neglect these monks in the slightest.
After checking that it was correct, the disciple held the talisman in both hands and handed it back to Lin Shen, and said respectfully:
"Senior Brother Lin, this is the first time you have received the conscription task, and according to the rules, you need to go to the town guard elder, and the elder will arrange the specific task."
The war between sects is different from ordinary battles, it is impossible to let the disciples act at will, but it is planned by several town guard elders and sent tasks, and the disciples who complete the tasks can obtain meritorious services and exchange them for various resources.
Lin Shen bowed his head slightly, asked where the town guard elders were, and then thanked him, turned around and walked towards the crypt.
The wide cave was full of array flags, and in the white jade fence in the center, the deep cave eyes were glowing with large studded silver rays, intertwined to form a swirl-like light cluster, slowly concave downward.
After the outbreak of the war with the Blood Sea Sect, the head of the sect took action in person, laying out a formation to maintain the spirit cave eye in a permanently open state, so that the sect could continue to send disciples into it.
However, the resources consumed in this way are astronomical, and the Jiuyang Sect can't support it for too long with all the strength of the whole sect.
It is foreseeable that if the Blood Sea Sect cannot be defeated in the next few years and completely occupy the Spirit Cave, the Nine Yang Sect will undoubtedly be in trouble.
At that time, they will either give up the Spirit Cave, or they will take a step back, and let the Shocking Waves Sect and the Qingfrost Sect also participate in the war with the Blood Sea Sect.
In this way, although it is necessary to share the spiritual acupoint with the other two sects, it is better than completely losing the spiritual acupoint.
Thinking about it, Lin Shen had already jumped into the whirlpool of light.
When his vision returned to clarity, Lin Shen was already in the spirit cave.
Looking around, there are dense caves and deep ditches in all directions, and I don't know where it leads.
The top is overhung with a milk pillar, like a pointed pile.
The scene in front of me was exactly the same as when I first entered the cave.
It's just that Lin Shen keenly felt that the aura in the air was obviously much more restless than before, perhaps because there were too many fights in the spirit cave during this time.
After settling down, Lin Shen took out the map, slightly discerned the next direction, and flew towards the sect's camp.
The camp of the sect was set up two or three miles away from the entrance of the spiritual cave.
This distance was only fleeting for Lin Shen, and it didn't take long for a rolling tower courtyard to come into view, stretching horizontally for a few miles.
The surging aura wrapped the entire complex in an airtight manner, which was the guardian formation set up by the elders.
The talisman was useless here—in case a Blood Sea Sect monk killed someone and snatched the talisman and pretended to be a disciple of the Jiuyang Sect—Lin Shen stopped in front of the formation and reported his name and mentorship to the two monks who came forward.
As soon as they heard that the person in front of them was Lin Shen, the two monks were taken aback, and looked Lin Shen up and down with their eyes, as if they were looking at some rare beast.
Obviously, the confrontation between Lin Shen and the Shan family had spread to the underground spirit cave.
When he came back to his senses, one of the monks hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Brother Lin, wait a minute, I'll go and report to the elders!" ”
After that, he hurriedly turned around and flew into the formation.
The other monk seemed to be worried about Lin Shen's dissatisfaction, and hurriedly explained:
"Monks who come to the spirit cave for the first time need to be collected by the town guard elder and integrated into the array, so they don't need to be checked if they enter and exit in the future."
Lin Shen suddenly waved his hand to show that he didn't mind.
A moment later, the departing monk returned, accompanied by a handsome man in his thirties.
Walking a few steps quickly, the man came to Lin Shen and said with a smile on his face:
"Uncle Shi, please come with me, a few town guard elders are just posting tasks right now."
Teacher?
Lin Shen was stunned, what's going on?
Seeing the puzzled expression on Lin Shen's face, the man seemed to think of something, patted his forehead, and explained:
"It's because I have a bad memory, I forgot to say it, uncle, my name is Liao Sen, and my teacher's name is Ji Yunze."
Ji Yunze?
A trace of doubt flashed in Lin Shen's eyes.
He had just come to Shanmen, and most of the time he had spent his time on Jinchuan Island cultivating, and he was not very familiar with many interpersonal relationships in Shanmen.
However, the name Ji Yunze still has some impressions, as if Xia Mengran once mentioned it to him.
Appears to be a deacon of the Military Academy.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Lin Shen's mind, and he asked, "...... is the master of the Huo Courtyard?"
Liao Sen smiled slightly and said, "His old man is my master." ”
Lin Shen was suddenly stunned.
The master of the Huo Academy refers to Huo Enrong, who is the master of the Academy of War.
When Lin Shen first heard this name, it was when the sect was crusading against the Tiger Division.
At that time, the person who had full authority over the crusade was Huo Enrong.
The master of the Military Academy, regardless of status or power, is enough to rank in the top ten in the entire Jiuyang Sect.
More importantly, Huo Enrong belongs to the line of master and apprentice, and Yu Siyu is a brother and sister.
In other words, in terms of generation, Lin Shen and Liao Sen's master Ji Yunze belong to the same generation.
From this point of view, there is really no problem for Liao Sen to call him uncle.
Lin Shen suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.
Liao Sen is at least one round older than him, and it feels really strange to be called Uncle Shi by such a person.
Lin Shen said simply: "Brother Liao, no matter the age between me and you, you still call me by my name." ”
"This ......" Liao Sen hesitated, and finally agreed, "Then I might as well be respectful, Brother Lin, please!" ”
To be honest, Liao Sen was still relieved in his heart.
After all, calling a young man who is more than ten years younger than himself an uncle, I always feel that something is wrong.
Of course, he still admired Lin Shen very much.
The matter between Lin Shen and the Shan family has long been known to everyone.
Being only in his early twenties can defeat characters like Shan Jingchun and Shan Liangshan, which is really admirable!
In other words, he has no certainty of winning Shangshan Jingchun, let alone Shan Liangshan.
It was precisely because of this that after hearing Lin Shen's arrival, he volunteered to come out to greet Lin Shen.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two walked side by side towards the camp.
"The Blood Sea Sect has been very restless recently, and it is estimated that it is brewing to launch a new wave of offensives, and after discussing with several town guard elders, they decided to strike first and capture a few formations!"
On the way, Liao Sen told Lin Shen about the condition of the spirit cave.
Under his narration, Lin Shen also had a general understanding of the current situation in the Spirit Cave.
The war between the two major sects can be divided into two parts, simply put.
The first is the confrontation of the top combat power level.
That is, the battle of the monks of the Xuanguang period.
For the Xuanguang period monks, the Spiritual Stage monks are just ants that can be killed at their fingertips, and even the Spiritual Stage monks who have condensed the seeds of the Xuanguang are just larger ants.
Once the Xuanguang Stage Monk took action against the Yunling Stage Monk, it would be absolutely devastating for the latter.
Therefore, the two major sects gradually formed a tacit understanding, that is, the Xuanguang period monks on both sides did not attack each other's juniors in the Yunguang period, and they were the Xuanguang period monks who fought each other.
Of course, this does not mean that the Spiritual Monks are of little use in this war.
In fact, they also have a very important responsibility.
The Blood Sea Sect and the Nine Yang Sect used array flags to lay out a large number of formations in the spirit cave, which were connected to each other to form a large formation similar to the Spirit Gathering Array.
With the help of the formation, the monk can mobilize the aura in the spirit cave during the battle, thus greatly improving his strength.
The more formations there are, the more aura the monk can mobilize.
The battle between the monks of the Xuanguang period will also be affected by the formation.
However, there are only a limited number of places suitable for setting up formations in the spirit cave, and there are not a few fights between the two major sects in order to compete for these formations.
Later, the task of the monks of the Yunling period became to occupy more positions and provide assistance to the monks of the Xuanguang period of their own sect.
This is the second part of this war!
"How many positions do we occupy now?" Lin Shen asked.
Liao Sen sighed and said with a solemn expression: "There are now one hundred and eighty-three formations in the Spirit Cave, and our sect only accounts for seventy-nine, not even half!" ”
"Because of this, the elders are also repeatedly at a disadvantage in the fight with the Xuanguang Stage cultivators of the Blood Sea Sect."
Lin Shen frowned slightly.
Seventy-nine against one hundred and four, that's a bit of a difference.
The strength of the Nine Yang Sect was originally inferior to the Blood Sea Sect, if it could have an advantage in the number of formations, how could it be possible to win.
Looking at the current situation, the situation is obviously very unfavorable to the Jiuyang Sect.
"The number of monks in the Blood Sea Sect who have entered the spirit cave is much more than ours, whether it is sitting in the formation or capturing the formation, our sect is facing the dilemma of insufficient manpower, and now it is already very good to be able to hold the formation in hand." Liao Sen shook his head and sighed.
While talking, the two of them had reached the very central tower of the camp.
Liao Sen restrained his expression and walked into it with Lin Shen.
The space inside the tower was far more spacious than it seemed from the outside, apparently due to the use of some kind of formation.
Many monks walked back and forth, all of them looking hurried and solemn.
Liao Sen signaled to Lin Shen, and immediately led the way upstairs.
He is obviously quite famous here, and many people have looked at him along the way, and even noticed Lin Shen beside him.
Soon someone recognized Lin Shen.
"It's Lin Shen!"
"That Lin Shen who defeated Shan Jingchun and Shan Liangshan?"
"Who else? I didn't expect him to come to the underground spirit cave as well. ”
"It's normal, the rewards for this conscription mission are too rich, and it's not surprising that Lin Shen will be tempted!"
In today's Jiuyang Sect, Lin Shen is undoubtedly the most powerful young generation of cultivators.
Especially the recent conflict between him and the Shan family has made many people hear his name like thunder.
As more and more people recognized Lin Shen, the tower unsurprisingly caused a commotion.
"Quiet! What a noisy and noisy scene! ”
A heavy cry came from upstairs, and the noisy discussion was suppressed at once.
The monks shut up and went about their business.
Liao Sen glanced at Lin Shen, and the two quickened their pace and walked upstairs.
In the spacious and bright hall on the top floor, seven elders sat around each other with solemn expressions.
These seven people are not very powerful, they look like ordinary people, but only the monks know how powerful these seven people are.
Sitting at the top was a twenty-four or five-year-old man, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a handsome face.
At the level of Xuanguang Monk, the appearance is meaningless.
The Monk can revert to any age at will, even as a child.
And because the body is washed inside and out, and is nourished by aura, there are almost no ugly monks in Xuanguang, and they are all handsome men and beautiful women without exception.
However, there are some Xuanguang monks who deliberately keep their appearance in an old state.
For example, among the seven Xuanguang monks in front of him, three of them had frosty white sideburns, long snow-white hair under their chins, and the image of an old man with fairy wind bones.
Long before coming here, Liao Sen had introduced Lin Shen to the town guard elders in the camp.
Coupled with what he had heard before, Lin Shen quickly recognized the identities of the seven elders present.
The young man sitting at the top was Elder Qi Dao.
Although he is only an elder and does not have the position of the head of the courtyard, Qi Dao's status in the sect is only higher than that of the masters, second only to the real person in charge.
And it is said that ten years ago, it had reached the ninth level of Xuanguang cultivation.
Many disciples were speculating that it wouldn't take long for Elder Qi Dao to be promoted to the Returning Dan.
Among the remaining six people, except for the two elders, the remaining four were all masters of the major courtyards.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to Qi Dao, among the remaining six elders, half of them are from the master-apprentice lineage and the family forces.
As soon as Lin Shen stepped into the hall, the eyes of the seven elders all turned to him.
After looking at it for a moment, Qi Dao bowed slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Yes, it's a good seedling, and the master of Yu Courtyard has accepted a good apprentice.".
