Chapter 8: Secrets of the Mountains
Late at night on the third day, Liu Li and the others got up and set off. The cave was deep in the mountains outside the city, and the two of them carried the exercises, and arrived a few hours later. The entrance to the cave is overgrown with weeds and buried by rocks, which are the work of the Xuanjian family, so that the cave is difficult to be discovered by others.
The two of them moved away from the rocks, revealing a one-man high cave, and the cave was built inside. After entering the cave for more than ten steps, there was a magic circle to protect them, and the two of them stopped and began to breathe and recover their mana.
"Brother, let's attack with magic weapons first, and consume the protective power of the magic circle first. When we're running out of mana, you'll use that talisman for the last time. Xuan Jian said cautiously while pranayama.
"Big brother, everything is up to you, don't worry!" Liu Li also replied cautiously
Soon after, the two of them took out their magic weapons and began to attack the magic circle. Liu Li was holding a spear in his hand, the spear style was ordinary, but after injecting mana into it, it glowed with a faint white light, this was a first-grade intermediate magic weapon "White Water Gun".
Xuan Jian was holding a red long sword in his hand, which was a first-grade intermediate magic weapon, and this magic weapon looked exactly the same as the red wood sword in Liu Yu's storage bag.
Because the cultivation of both of them has not reached the sixth level of Qi cultivation, their spiritual sense is weak, and they cannot drive the magic weapon to attack in the air. The two of them could only hold their hands and stab into the air in front of them. The void was attacked, sending out a faint light, and a water-colored film appeared in the air.
The two magic weapons pierced on it, but they couldn't penetrate a single bit, and the membrane like the surface of the water only made a few ripples. But the two of them had expected this to be the case, so they did not get discouraged, but frequently waved the magic weapon in their hands, and used their mana to speed up the attack.
A quarter of an hour later, both of them were sweating profusely and their mana was depleted. After looking at each other, they all exited the cave.
"Brother, let's get started! Xuan Jian gasped and said
Liu Li didn't say much, and a red talisman appeared in his hand, which was full of magic patterns and incantations, which was the three-grade high-grade talisman "Violent Flame Lianzhu".
Liu Li used his own mana to inject into the talisman to stimulate the power of the talisman. Seeing that the magic talisman emitted a dazzling red light, Liu Li aimed at the cave and waved the magic talisman in his hand. I saw that the magic runes turned into more than a dozen huge fireballs and shot towards the cave one after another.
"Boom" several sounds, sand and rocks flying in the cave, a large amount of dust blocked the view, I don't know what the situation inside is. Both of them stared at the cave as the dust slowly cleared. The thin film that glowed with a faint white light was still there, and they both sat on the ground with their butts on their butts, extremely disappointed.
"Hey, brother, I wasted a good talisman of yours!" Xuan Jian's embarrassed face was full of loss, and he said apologetically.
"How can this be!" Liu Li was stunned, in his opinion, a protective magic circle of foundation building monk cloth, after a thousand years, the protective power should be greatly weakened. And the power of the "Violent Flame Beads" talisman in his hand is genuine, and this time he should be able to break the formation nine out of ten. But he didn't expect to fail in the end, wasting a magic talisman worth a thousand spirit stones in vain.
"Brother, this time you failed, my brother won't let you waste spirit stones in vain. Brother Wei has already thought about it, if he fails this time, he will go to the reliable foundation building monk of the four factions to make a move, and you will still get a share of what you get in the cave. Xuan Jian stood up and began to move stones to re-block the entrance to the cave.
"Big brother, please take a hand from the foundation monk, take out the good things, we will definitely not be able to keep them! Liu Li came back to his senses and said hesitantly, and also helped Xuanjian move stones to block the entrance of the cave.
"Hey, there is no other way, less is better than nothing," obviously Xuan Jian made up his mind to break the formation, leave enough cultivation resources for the family, and lay the foundation for the family's revival.
Liu Li couldn't help but have a crazy thought in his heart when he heard Xuan Jian's tone so firmly, staring at the boulder in his hand.
Judging from the protective power of the magic circle, there must be extremely precious treasures in this cave. My cultivation in this life has come to an end, and there is no hope of immortality. But he has a precious grandson, and if he gets the items in the cave, it will be a big help in the future. will embark on the long road of eternal life for himself, and he will definitely go further than he will go.
"These must be left to Yu'er, yes, they must be left to Yu'er!"
"No, I can't hurt my eldest brother, what are I thinking? How can I have such a rebellious idea, that's a big brother. ”
"If you ask the Zhuji monk to help, what good things can you share, and after you die, how will Yu'er gain a foothold in this cruel cultivation realm. All kinds of ideas surged in Liu Li's heart, and his heart turned upside down. Looking at it from the front, Liu Li's eyes were red at this time, and his hands holding the stones were bursting up, which made people shudder.
In the end, Liu Li personally told Liu Yu that he finally attacked Xuanjian in the deep mountains. After killing Xuan Jian, he was afraid that someone would investigate the matter and implicate Liu Yu, so he slaughtered Xuan Jian Manmen late at night, did not even let go of the children, and set fire to Xuan's mansion.
Liu Li told Liu Yu about this, which was to let Liu Yu deeply remember that people are unpredictable, not to trust others, and to be cautious in hiding dirt in the world.
At that time, this incident was tantamount to a thunderbolt for Liu Yu, and the kind grandfather in his heart turned out to be a vicious juniper and a demon who lost his conscience. Soon after, the news of Liu Li's death came, and he asked someone to send a handwritten letter left by Liu Li to him.
The letter said that he had been in a restless bedroom all these years, riddled with nightmares, and his conscience was condemned, and he had to atone for his sins by self-judgment.
Finally, he wrote, "Yu'er, the long road to eternal life is full of difficulties and dangers, you must stick to your faith and never give up, grandpa prays for you every day under the nine springs." ”
Liuxian Town is located not far from the foot of Huangsheng Mountain, very prosperous, the street is full of people, the traffic is busy, there are a large number of tourists who come to visit every day.
There is a sect of cultivating immortals on Huangsheng Mountain, and most visitors want to see the style of the sect of immortals, and they want to have a chance to see if they can worship and practice the immortal method under the sect of immortals. This has created a lot of people in Liuxian Town, and there are many shops.
In Liuxian Town, there are not only restaurants and shops opened by mortals, but also a fang market built by cultivators. To the south of Liuxian Town is the city opened by Huang Shengzong, and not only the disciples in the sect come here to buy various cultivation resources such as spiritual pills, magic weapons, and exercises. Disciples of other sects and scattered cultivators will also come here to trade, which makes Liuxian Town extremely prosperous and famous.
There is a tall palace in the middle of the city, called the Huangshi Palace. In front of the Huangshi Palace, two huge pure gold giant lions stand on both sides of the temple gate. The whole palace is also made of a mixture of gold bricks and marble, and the palace is divided into two floors, the lower floor is the hall, and the floor is paved with a whole piece of warm jade, and the warm jade is covered with a red carpet.
Although warm jade is not a refining material, it is also very rare. Because warm jade has the effect of being warm in winter and cool in summer, it can be placed in the room to adjust the temperature and make people refreshed. Such a large piece of warm jade is rare, and it is a waste to use it to lay the floor.
The hall is spacious and can accommodate hundreds of people at the same time. The hall is decorated with a variety of precious stones, which make the whole palace extremely luxurious.
The Huangshi Hall is a place to store and exchange spirit stones, and it is not easy to carry too many spirit stones for cultivators, because spirit stones are very similar to jade, hundreds of pieces are carried with you, even if you have storage bags, it is very inconvenient. If you don't need to use it urgently, you can store it here, exchange it for a spirit ticket, which is easy to carry, and it is equivalent to the money village in mortals, called Lingzhuang.
Huang Shengling Village is a spiritual village opened by Huang Shengzong, and there are branches in the main cities of the ten mortal countries under the jurisdiction of Huang Shengzong. The reputation is excellent, and you can exchange for the corresponding spirit stone at any time in the branch village with the spirit ticket.
The other three factions in Shannan also have their own Lingzhuang, namely the Great Wilderness Lingzhuang, the Xuanbing Lingzhuang, and the Wanyao Lingzhuang. The spirit tickets issued by these four major spiritual villages can be exchanged at equal value, and they are extremely versatile in the Shannan region.
As long as the four factions are still in charge of the Shannan region, the spirit tickets issued will be valid forever. Loose cultivation is also happy to exchange the spirit stone for a spirit ticket, which is not only convenient, but also safe, and the so-called wealth is not exposed, and it is not easy to attract gangsters to snoop.
