Chapter 141: At the foot of the Tianshan Mountains
"Fellow Daoist!"
Seeing that Cheng Sheng mentioned the other three, Elder Catfish was alert.
He said in an unkind tone: "This monk named Thunder, he has no intention of staying in my Fish-Man Village, so you can just wake him up." β
"I don't care."
"But since you've woken up both of your friends, don't stay here any longer."
In order to prevent Chengsheng from causing too much trouble, Elder Catfish directly issued an eviction order: "Three fellow Daoists, please leave!" β
Cheng Sheng didn't speak, just kept observing the fish people around him, and tried to find out Po Yazhi and Ni Li from them.
Seeing the act of survival, Elder Catfish didn't say a word, resolutely retreated behind the fishmen, and ordered: "These three people have betrayed Father Dagon, and they are no longer worthy to stay in the village, all of you will go together, drive them out of the village, live or die!" β
Almost all of the fish people in Fish-Man Village have a body comparable to that of a deep-diving monk.
Although they have not really broken through to the deep diving stage, with their strong physical bodies, their strength is at least comparable to that of the Blood Pill stage monks.
Now that all the fish people are rushing up, let alone Zhong Ran and Thunder.
Even if he was the strongest of the three, he only felt his scalp tingle for a while
Capture the thief and capture the king first.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Cheng Huo decisively shot at the catfish elder who was hiding behind the fish.
Just like the two hands of a person, it is a truth that you can't draw a square and a circle at the same time. The two bodies that are controlled by one person are also unable to perform two different exercises.
The two of them survived, and they could only use the magical power of the 'Golden Light Shadow Sword' together.
At this moment, countless tentacles sprouted from the surface of the two living bodies and danced wildly in the crowd, forcing the fish people to scatter in all directions.
In the original living perspective, the 'Golden Light Shadow Sword' was originally a myriad of giant swords that emitted golden light.
But with two shells, things are different
Through the shell of the Divine Tree Village, Cheng Sheng discovered:
The one summoned by the traverser's body was not a golden 'giant sword' at all, but countless purple-red hideous tentacles!
And through the body of the traverser, he survived and discovered:
The 'Golden Light Shadow Sword' summoned by the shell of the Divine Tree Village was also a myriad of hideous tentacles.
What's going on?
The raging purple-red tentacles made Chenghuo stunned in place, and his movements were also paused.
When dealing with people, Cheng Sheng often hears others talk about the word 'tentacles', and because of this, he doubts the exercises he is practicing.
But skepticism is just skepticism.
No matter how carefully you observe and delve into it. In his eyes, the Golden Light Shadow Sword was always a giant sword rather than a tentacle.
But now
At a critical juncture, it is too late to think about the strangeness.
After a brief moment of stunnedness, he manipulated the two bodies and continued to attack the catfish elder.
Sensing the threat, the catfish elder changed his lazy and sluggish appearance in the past, and his movements became extremely agile and fast.
In a single move, he dodged the attack from the two living bodies.
But that's just the beginning.
What can use the golden light shadow sword magic power is actually not only the two bodies that have survived
Seeing Chenghuo's move, Tie Niu and Yuan Xiujie glanced at each other, and immediately followed with the 'Golden Light Shadow Sword' magical power.
In an instant, countless tentacles were densely packed, dancing wildly in the fish-man village.
"This, this, this!"
Elder Catfish looked incredulous: "It's just that you have two shells, why can the tentacles you summoned still spawn from the void?" β
Cheng Huo didn't respond, just looked not far away, and the two fishmen who showed a thoughtful look after seeing the tentacles.
With an understanding in his heart, Cheng Huo yelled at the two fishmen: "Po Yazhi! Nili! β
The two fishmen were shocked.
The moment they heard the name, the bodies of the two fishmen also squirmed and began to transform into human appearances.
That's it!
Chengsheng is not very familiar with the monks of Great Buddhism, and he has no good impression of the monks of the Great Liang Kingdom.
So at a critical juncture, he didn't want to devote too much energy to find out the understanding of suffering from the fish people, but only thought about saving Po Yazhi and Ni Li first.
At present, the two people who have been found to have become fish people, Po Yazhi and Ni Li, will no longer continue to fight.
He manipulated his tentacles to roll up Nili and Po Yazhi, and after forcing the fish-people who were close to them to retreat, he retreated from the fish-man village in a fight
On the way to evacuate, Thunder looked at the catfish elder hiding among the fish people and proposed: "Cheng Daoyou, that catfish elder has a lot of treasures on him, why don't we capture him and snatch all the treasures on his body?" β
"No, I'm not sure."
Cheng Huo said as he evacuated: "Don't look at the three of us, we have forced back hundreds of fishmen, but that's just that the fishmen don't want to fight with us." β
"The fish people are also transformed from monks, and they are also afraid of death, so when they besiege us, they only pretend to besiege us, and they don't do their best."
"But if we continue to fight and get the fish people to lose their tempers, then the situation will not be easy to say!"
"Besides."
Cheng Huo thought for a moment and added: "I always feel that Elder Catfish still has hole cards that he hasn't used, and he will definitely not be as weak as he seems." β
"And the reason why he doesn't want to fight with us is just that he doesn't feel necessary."
"After all, we're just two passers-by in the village. If we stay, we will have five more people in the Fish-Man Village, which is good. β
"But we're gone, and the loss to Elder Catfish isn't really big."
"Got it!" Thunder thought thoughtfully: "We didn't threaten the village itself, let alone the personal safety of Elder Catfish, so after doing it, the fat catfish found that we were not easy to mess with, so he let us go. But that doesn't mean he's really afraid of us. β
"That's pretty much it." Cheng Huo nodded in response.
And the facts are indeed the same as the survival analysis:
After everyone evacuated from the village, the fish people only symbolically chased after a few steps, but did not chase them all.
After getting rid of the fish-man, Chengsheng and the others began to march in the direction of Tianshan.
Meanwhile.
After moving away from Fish-Man Village, the curse of Fish-Man Village was removed, and both Po Yazhi and Ni Li changed from deep diver form to humans.
"Thank you Cheng Daoyou for coming to the rescue."
After getting out of trouble, Ni Li said with a happy face: "If it weren't for you, I might still be trapped in that fish-man village, practicing the 'fish-man cultivation method' taught by Elder Catfish. β
It's not just mud.
Po Yazhi also showed a grateful face, and arched her hand to express her gratitude.
ββSince the Floating Island Phantom Array and his party, Po Yazhi's whole person has changed a lot.
As for what kind of changes there are, it's not easy to say for a while, but I think she is a lot colder than before.
Furthermore.
Maybe it's not enough talent.
It could also be for some other reason.
In short, Po Ya Zhi and Ni Li were not favored by the Father Dagon of the Deep Divers, who neither dived into the deep sea nor received Dagon's blessing.
After learning that Chenghuo, Zhong Ran, and Thunder had all gone through a deep diving state, and had obtained a body comparable to that of a deep diving monk, they both showed expressions of remorse and helplessness.
However, when it comes to cultivation, not only talent and hard work, but also luck also accounts for a large part of it.
Sometimes, if you miss an opportunity, you miss it, and it is useless to regret it.
Having missed the opportunity of the Fishman Village, Ni Li said with a hint of unwillingness in his tone: "Cheng Daoyou, do you plan to stay in the secret realm now, or go out early." β
"Let's leave as soon as possible!" As he spoke, he took out a turquoise glass hourglass from the storage bag on his waist.
The sand contained in this hourglass is translucent and white.
This sand is common in the desert of southern Liang and can glow on moonlit nights, so it is easy to find under the desert night sky.
This sand is special.
Once an hourglass is made, even if it is stored in a storage bag, it cannot stop it from flowing.
Taking advantage of this property, the monk Liang Guo made this sand into an elaborate hourglass for timekeeping.
There are two storage bags for Survival.
One is hung around the waist to hide people's eyes.
The other is a red gemstone set in the chest to store valuables.
The hourglass used for timekeeping was not a valuable object, so it was put into a waist storage bag.
He held the hourglass in his hand and said to everyone: "According to Lord Li, there is an unknown curse in the secret realm of the Tianshan Mountains. β
"Ten thousand years ago, the Heavenly Court died because of this curse."
"It takes about thirty days for the curse to infect the human body, so we must leave the secret realm within thirty days."
Cheng Huo glanced at the hourglass in his hand and continued, "According to the information on the hourglass, we have been in the Fishman Village for about eighteen days. β
"Therefore, we have to rush to the exit of the Tianshan Secret Realm, 'Tianshan', as soon as possible in the next ten days or so."
"Do you want to go" failed to get Dagon's blessing in the fish-man village, and Ni Li was very unwilling.
But although he was unwilling, after learning that there were only more than ten days left, he didn't dare to continue to stay in the secret realm of the Tianshan Mountains for a long time.
He turned to ask, "By the way, by the way, have you ever seen Wuku in the Fish-Man Village?" β
"If nothing else, Wuku shouldn't have been trapped in the fish-man village."
Po Yazhi explained: "The great Buddhist monks emphasize the cutting off of the six desires, and those who do not have desires will most likely not be trapped in the fish-man village. β
"Perhaps, he has already found some other Gu Immortal inheritance in the secret realm of the Tianshan Mountains at this time."
β¦
Flights are prohibited in the secret territory of the Tianshan Mountains.
After Cheng Huo and the others left the Fishman Village, they walked all the way in the direction of Tianshan Mountain.
At the same time.
At the foot of the Tien Shan Mountains.
In a dilapidated village with an eerie scarlet ground.
A monk in ragged clothes, with countless patches sewn on his robes, walked from outside the village on a pair of tattered monk shoes.
As you walk, you can see countless corpses of villagers lying scattered on the ground.
These villagers are hideous and terrifying-looking.
There are blue-faced fangs, some have scarlet skin, and some have eight legs, and the whole looks like a spider-like half-human, half-monster.
The most exaggerated person, with the sides of his body together, has nearly 100 legs densely grown.
It looks like a centipede with a human head
In addition to these dead, half-human, half-monster villagers, there was also a team of gorgeously dressed monks standing in a clearing in the village.
They looked at the ragged monk in the distance, as if to greet each other.
"Amitabha!" After the two sides met, the ragged monk took the lead in speaking: "The disciple has realized the bitterness and has seen the abbot of Xuanyi!" β
"Hmm."
Dressed in a team of monks.
After the leading monk named Xuan Yi answered, he handed a brocade robe to Wu Ku and said, "Let's change the monk's robe back first!" β
"I am a little Buddhist monk, and I pay attention to cultivating my own body first, and then crossing sentient beings."
"Now that you have returned to my Little Buddhism, you should follow the teachings of my Little Buddhism, and there is no need to practice ascetic like before."
"Disciple understands!" Wu Ku changed the brocade robe handed by Xuan Yi.
Seeing that he had changed into a gorgeous monk's robe, Xuan Yi looked satisfied and asked, "Those who entered the secret realm with you will survive the five of them?" β
Wu Ku replied: "Everything is as the abbot expected: Cheng Xing and the other five people have come out of the village of the Deep Diver clan and are coming in the direction of the Tianshan Mountain. β
"Good!"
Xuan Yi smiled and said, "You and those five people, after all, have all broken through the floating island phantom array over the East China Sea, and the monks who can break through the phantom array are indeed not difficult to pass the level of Fishman Village." β
He continued: "Now that everything is ready, then let's go to the exit of the Tianshan Mountain first, and guard the five of them!" β
With that, he left the village with all the monks
β¦
The Tianshan Mountains in the secret realm of the Tianshan Mountains lead to the sky.
Ten thousand years ago, you could even go directly to Heaven along its mountain road.
When the group was far away from the Tianshan Mountains, because of the clouds and mist, under the snow, they still didn't think how high the Tianshan Mountains were.
It wasn't until everyone came to the foot of the mountain that they felt the shock of the Tianshan Mountain from the bottom of their hearts.
Looking up at the sky, I feel that the Tianshan Mountain seems to be a pillar supporting the sky, how high the sky is, then how high the mountain is.
At the foot of the Tien Shan Mountains is a dilapidated village.
The village was scattered and scattered, and countless corpses could be seen casually discarded on the roadside.
These corpses are half-human, half-monsters.
Seeing this scene, Zhong Ran frowned and said, "Unexpectedly, there is a village at the foot of this Tianshan Mountain, and the people in this village look a little weird." β
Monk Lei Ting, who was born in the Tianwei Mansion, explained from the side: "These dead villagers are all descendants of the Gu Immortals. β
"It's a descendant of Gu Immortals infected by a curse."
"It is said that the Gu Immortals 10,000 years ago not only cultivated the 'power of flesh and blood' of 'woo', but also practiced the 'power of pain' of 'Buddha'."
"Ten thousand years ago, two systems of cultivation coexisted."
"Gu immortals who practice the 'power of flesh and blood' often have an appearance that is different from ordinary people, just like the monks of Yin Sijian."
"Mortals in the mortal realm who don't know about it call such Gu Immortals demons."
Saying that, Lei Ting inadvertently glanced at Chenghuo, Ni Li and Po Yazhi.
He continued: "And the Gu Immortals who cultivated the 'Power of Pain' were called immortals by the mortals in the mortal world because of the immortal wind Dao bones. β
"Then an unknown curse erupted in the Heavenly Court, causing the 'flesh and blood power' of 'Woo' to rise sharply."
"As a result, the monks who practiced the 'power of flesh and blood' gradually became half-human, half-monster, and many of them could not control themselves and lost themselves."
"This is one of the most direct causes of the fall of the Heavenly Court."
"It is precisely because of the fall of Heavenly Court that over time, some surviving Gu Immortals have regarded everything about 'wooing' as taboo."
"Just like the Gu Immortals who fled to the territory of the Great Liang Country."
"They listed 'woo' as a taboo and taught the cultivation system of 'Buddha' to the mortals of the Great Liang Kingdom."
"As a result, a pattern has gradually taken shape that nowadays, all the monks in the mortal realm are majoring in the 'power of pain'."
