Chapter 63: The Secret Realm
Chapter 63: The Secret Realm
There are continuous mountains and mountains between the northeast of the capital and the Rehe River, and the Ming Dynasty scholar Gu Yanwu recorded in the "Changping Landscape Record": "Its mountains are high and steep, and there are clouds and mist covering it, and the four seasons are endless." During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Bowen of Zhongcheng once went to Caojia Road, an important border town, to inspect it, and named it "Wuling Mountain Qingliang Boundary" and engraved it on a huge granite.
This is the ancient Xiuzhen Taoist famous mountain Fuling Mountain, the Ming Dynasty changed its name to Wuling Mountain and continues to this day.
Wuling Mountain had many temples built as early as Liaojin, when there were many monks and monks, and the incense was vigorous. During the reign of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, Wuling Mountain was the forbidden place of Houlong Feng Shui in the Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty, which was closed for as long as 265 years, and is now a national nature reserve and the main station of the monk group of the National Security Bureau.
At this time, Ying Jun was standing on the rooftop of a two-story courtyard, holding the monk certificate that had just been completed, and the small courtyard at his feet was the shelter assigned to him, and there were dozens of such small courtyards scattered halfway up the mountain.
Looking around, the lush mountains are stacked on top of each other, the peaks are rolling everywhere, and the smoke is vast, breathing the faint aura between the mouth and nose, thinking of the details of the monk group introduced to him by the senior brother, I can't help but be secretly surprised in my heart.
In addition to Wuling Mountain, there are also Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang Province, Zhongshan Mountain in Jianye in Jiangsu Province, and Yucheng in Yunnan Province, all of which are also stationed by cultivators of the monk group, on the one hand, to deter monks from other countries from not daring to set foot in China easily, and on the other hand, to deal with supernatural events that cannot be explained by science in various places.
Due to religious factors and the restraint of exercises, the Yucheng station in Yunnan Province was garrisoned by Buddhist disciples, and the other three stations were all disciples of various sects of Taoist inheritance.
The Wuling Mountain, which is adjacent to the capital, is the base camp of the monk group, not only is there a large spirit gathering array that is open all year round for the spiritual energy needed for cultivation, but there are also real people in the Jindan period who are on duty all year round, and there are teleportation arrays that communicate with various stations in time and passages to several secret realms.
Feng Qingde said in Luzhou that he was rewarded for meritorious service, and he said that he tried his best to get a chance to enter the secret realm, and the entrance teleportation array of this secret realm was here, and after helping Ying Jun complete the entry procedures and settle down, the next step was to bargain with the leaders.
“...... Strict game, my little junior brother not only captured Jack and the little devil alive in Luzhou, this small test ring is six consecutive wins, six consecutive wins! I haven't met this kind of genius for many years! And he was promoted to the congenital stage that night, but I finally pulled him into our bureau, if I don't give him a chance to enter the secret realm, people's hearts will be scattered, and the team will not be easy to bring!"
Sitting opposite Feng Qingde, a sturdy middle-aged man only had innate stage cultivation, but in the face of the foundation building stage high-level cultivator, he did not have a trace of fear, but frowned solemnly and slowly spoke.
"Qingde! You said that I know it well, and it's no problem to let your junior brother Ying Jun enter the secret realm, but why do you have to choose the Imperial Spirit Secret Realm in several secret realms? Have you forgotten the painful lesson of more than ten years ago? If it weren't for Liang Daoyou's sacrifice of his life, he wouldn't have been able to wipe out the whole army! A foundation building high-level three congenital stage corpses have no bones, so you can rest assured that you let your junior brother enter alone?"
"Yan Ju, I read the accident report that time, it was because of the large number of people who accidentally caused the fluctuation of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi that it alarmed the group of Sect Protector Spirit Beasts to be collectively besieged, as long as they avoided the territory of the spirit beasts, it would be safer for one or two people to go in!"
“......”
The two argued for a long time, and finally the sturdy middle-aged man took out a jade plate from the storage bag with a wry smile on his face and handed it to Feng Qingde quite reluctantly.
Three days later, the two-story courtyard on the mountainside.
"Little junior brother, the Imperial Spirit Secret Realm was originally the inner sect of the Ancient Sect Imperial Spirit Sect, and the protection was extremely tight, although the ban was broken by most of the seniors in the bureau, but it also made the spirit beasts run out a lot, and now they can no longer be called spirit beasts, no one has tamed them for many years, and the reproduced offspring have regained their wildness, so you have to be especially careful of these demons, if you can hide, you can hide!"
"What if you can't hide from it?"
Ying Jun held the special jade plaque used for entry and exit in his hand, thinking back to the routes he had memorized in the past two days, as well as various resources that had been discovered or undiscovered in various places, and his heart couldn't help but feel excited.
There is still a remnant of a spiritual vein under the peak of the Inner Sect of the Imperial Spirit Sect?
Although it is a remnant, it is a spiritual vein that can give birth to a spirit stone! If you practice over there, the stains~ It is not too beautiful!
If you can't escape, quickly crush the jade plaque, so that you can be teleported back instantly, but if you want to go back, you can't do it again unless you make a great contribution. ”
Feng Qingde patted Ying Jun's shoulder, and said solemnly: "The Imperial Spirit Secret Realm is completely supported by the remaining spiritual veins, and when I first discovered the secret realm, I entered a Jindan real person, and slightly triggered the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi Secret Realm collapsed by a small half, and the last time I went into two foundation building periods and a group of congenital stage monks, they got together to break the ban and caused the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to fluctuate, and the loss stopped in time, otherwise the secret realm would be over." However, it also alarmed the demons to be besieged, one of the high-level foundation builders fell, and another fell into a big realm after being seriously injured, so we deduced that only one or two in the congenital period would be able to find the inheritance left by the Imperial Spirit Sect and those genius earth treasures if they were cautious, even if they didn't explore the treasure after entering, just find a safe place to hide and practice inside, and if there is a spiritual vein, they are afraid of the lack of spiritual energy?"
"And who am I going with this time?"
"Of course it's just you! Oh, you are so casual when you enter and exit the secret realm? Don't even think about it if you don't make a great achievement! Besides, the teleportation jade plate that enters and exits the secret realm is also difficult to refine, and there is no need to basically close the secret realm and recuperate in case of emergency. ”
After reading the information of the Imperial Spirit Secret Realm for two days, and listening to Feng Qingde's detailed words, Ying Jun also felt a little more sure in his heart.
"Senior brother, how long can I stay in there alone? If I absorb too much spiritual energy during cultivation, there won't be any trouble if the secret realm collapses, right?"
Hearing Ying Jun ask, Feng Qingde gave him a strange look, and couldn't help but think of the big moves made by the junior brother during the promotion of the innate stage, and couldn't help but think about it.
"In the past, we entered several other secret realms as fast as a few days and as slow as a month, and there was no clear time limit, but there were teleportation arrays in those places that could be returned at any time, but this Imperial Spirit Secret Realm was a little different. ”
Seeing the little junior brother's suspicious look, he continued: "There are many prohibitions in the Imperial Spirit Secret Realm, and it is easy for the teleportation array arranged in the past to enter from the outside, and if you come out, you must have a monk in the foundation building period to open the space prohibition of the teleportation array. In addition, the congenital period has not yet opened the valley, even if you bring food in, it won't last for two or three months, but you have a storage ring, you can bring more, you have to be leisurely, don't make too much movement, so as not to attract the attention of demons. As for causing the collapse of the secret realm, the bureau didn't think that as long as the spiritual veins were still there, they wouldn't completely collapse. ”
"What does that mean that those who don't know are not to blame?"
These words made Feng Qingde speechless, then you mean that after you enter, the secret realm will definitely be destroyed by you?
"Now the Imperial Spirit Secret Realm is also a chicken rib to the game, and it's a pity to abandon it if it's tasteless! You have to be careful when you enter the foundation building period, and there are many demons in the inner sect, and it is easy to destroy most of the secret realm if you are not careful. And it's a bit dangerous to enter the congenital period, not to mention that the ban is not easy to break, and if you encounter a demon at will, you can only hide, and it is easy to attract a group if you don't solve it quickly, I just see that you have cultivated your divine sense footwork and agility before you go to the secret realm of the spirit, after all, several other secret realms have already been explored except for the abundant spiritual energy, and the genius treasure bureau has been registered, and it is not good for you to take it privately, and only there are still ownerless things. ”
Saying this, Ying Jun also nodded secretly, the aura in the small world of the cave is not bad, so it doesn't make much sense to go to the secret realm.
He felt that the Imperial Spirit Secret Realm was tailor-made for himself, and now his divine sense could detect a distance of nearly five hundred meters at the farthest, and with a shadowless dagger in his hand, he could fight even if he encountered a demon.
"Senior brother, what is the realm of the demons inside?"
"Most of the spiritual wisdom has just opened, this is also the descendant of the original spirit beasts, some demons almost have a foundation building period of cultivation, the last siege was done by these demons, but they didn't dare to promote to the middle level, the secret realm space is narrow, once the catastrophe is triggered, it will completely collapse!Alas~ In fact, these demons are also pitiful, the secret realm is nothing more than a cage, trapped for thousands of years but there is no way to ......"
The next day, Ying Jun specially went to visit the Great Wall, and he couldn't say that the Great Wall was not a hero, and he came to the Great Wall to play to make himself relaxed.
Standing at the highest point of the Badaling Great Wall, facing the cold wind, looking into the distance, the continuous peaks between heaven and earth are reckless, and the mind is gradually empty, until there is no longer a trace of distraction.
......
"Little junior brother, everything is based on safety, if there is anything wrong, you must immediately crush the jade plate!"
Looking at Ying Jun, who was already standing in the teleportation array, Feng Qingde couldn't help but say another sentence, Senior Venerable and Senior Uncle Ling Hong let themselves take care of the little junior brother, if he made a mistake in the secret realm, then he really did something bad with good intentions.
"I can't afford to provoke me, I can still hide, don't worry, brother, just wish me a smooth and fruitful journey!haha~"
Ying Jun felt that he was in a surprisingly good state after visiting the Great Wall yesterday, no wonder many sects chose the highest peak of the famous river and mountain, and climbing high and looking far away can indeed make people feel refreshed.
The white light flickered, and with a slight tearing sensation and a burst of dizziness in the body, a burst of pure aura rushed towards him in the darkness.
His eyes flashed, and he suddenly saw the situation around him clearly, this was the hinterland of a cave, and the teleportation array was just located on a raised boulder platform, and his divine sense swept away, and there were not only forbidden fluctuations around the teleportation array, but also a hidden formation.
With a thought of moving, the shadowless dagger was held upside down in his hand, and he gently jumped off the platform and walked slowly out of the cave......
"Whew......"
In the distance, there was a roar of beasts and birds, and Ying Jun lowered his figure a little lower, and his divine sense cautiously continued to probe the surroundings.
This was the fifth day that Ying Jun had been in the Imperial Spirit Secret Realm, and from the moment he jumped out of the teleportation array, he had been cautious all the time, and it took him four or five days before he could approach the periphery of the mountain where the Inner Sect was located.
Don't look at the Imperial Spirit Secret Realm, which has collapsed in many places due to various reasons, but after all, it was once the location of the ancient sect, and the only remaining inner sect is still extremely wide, not only with beautiful mountains and rivers, but also between the mountains and large lakes in the basin, and his four or five days have basically been spent crossing the basin.
There are not only many kinds of demons here, but also divided the territory, he can only go around the edge of the various demon territory, fortunately, the members of the monk group who came in the first few times described the map is more detailed, and at night they find a hidden place to meditate and practice, and during the day, they continue to sneak towards the peak where the main hall of the inner sect is located, but it also allows him to avoid several demons in the basin and lake, and he also picked a lot of spiritual herbs and elixirs.
"Your sister~ This Imperial Spirit Secret Realm is simply a wildlife park!"
Ying Jun muttered to himself as he gathered his divine sense and tried his best to investigate in the direction of forward.
"Huh~ Badger Pig!"
The information of the badger pig suddenly appeared in my mind, the shape is similar to that of a wild boar, and it likes to live in groups... The skin is thick and tough to resist the direct attack of ordinary magic weapons, the fangs are like knives and do not fight in close combat, the back is covered with badger thorns, and the badger thorns can be shot when the back is bowed, fast as arrows, and the weakness is in the abdomen... The tusks, badger thorns, and hides of adult badger pigs can be used to refine low-level talismans, and their flesh is full of spiritual power, tender and delicious......
Thinking of this, Ying Jun couldn't help but swallow his saliva, since he ate the snake demon meat once, he had never forgotten the demon beast meat, and it was rare to encounter the legendary delicacy in the cultivation realm, and he immediately thought about it.
"Whew... Whew... Purple......"
Using the weeds and dwarf trees to cover him, he continued to sneak forward slowly, his mind locking on the dozen or so badger pigs of different sizes in front of him, until he was fifty or sixty meters away from the group of badger pigs, and he stopped under a low tree.
Two unusually fat badger pigs took the lead and ploughed the soil with two shiny tusks nearly one meter long, followed by eight small badger pigs of different sizes, looking for food in the soil that the two big badger pigs turned over pears.
Just as Ying Jun had just poured the fairy spirit power into the Shadowless Dagger, ready to use his divine sense to control the Shadowless Dagger to kill the two big badger pigs, one of the big badger pigs suddenly stopped and raised his big head, a pair of blood-red eyes kept looking around, and the big nose began to breathe air constantly, probing for any peculiar smell.
As soon as he saw that the badger pig was so alert, Ying Jun immediately stopped his movements, instantly held back his breath and closed the pores of his body, and couldn't help but secretly regret a little in his heart, he just wanted to get close to some of the two big badger pigs that could kill two big badger pigs in an instant, and then quickly escape away from the chaos bead, but he didn't expect the badger pig to be so alert.
Although it is difficult to break the badger pig skin with ordinary magic weapons, the sharpness of the Shadowless Dagger is not comparable to magic weapons, but if you turn a sneak kill into a frontal kill, there are too many unpredictable things.
A refreshing mountain breeze blew, the leaves and weeds made a brushing sound, and Ying Jun's consciousness firmly locked on the agile badger pig in his breath.
