Chapter 269: Under Mingsha Mountain
It is unknown when the five continents such as the Shuxuan Immortal Continent were formed, but the Northern Primordial Demon Plain is recognized as the oldest and existed long before the appearance of humans.
At the beginning, the vegetation on the magic plain was luxuriant, and all kinds of flowers, birds, insects, fish, birds and animals thrived here. After countless 10,000 years, beasts, even flowers and plants, began to collect the essence of heaven and earth to absorb the aura of the sun and the moon, evolved into spirit beasts, and ruled this continent.
To this day, the spirit beasts are still the masters of the Demon Plain, occupying two-thirds of the land, and it is said that there are many descendants of the ancient divine beasts remaining, and they are the existence that the top powers on other continents dare not easily provoke.
The spirit beasts on the Demon Plains are not only very diverse and numerous, although their cultivation is very slow, but in terms of overall strength, they are not comparable to other continents.
For example, like Shu Xuan Immortal Continent, although the population is quite large, and there are many strong people due to the abundant spiritual energy, but the absolute number of cultivators alone is much smaller, not to mention the population of the Western Myoko Holy Land, not to mention, even the population of the Central Thick Earth Continent and the Southern Huayan Divine Domain is not comparable to the total number of beasts on the Demon Plain.
Fortunately, the Demon Plain is vast and boundless, and the spirit beasts only want to swim in the Demon Plain, most of them survive in the form of populations, and there is competition between each other for the survival of the fittest, natural selection, and the law of the jungle, but there are few attempts to occupy other continents, otherwise it is difficult to say what the current pattern is.
The beasts are uncivilized and lack education, but humans are covetous.
Spirit beasts are almost all treasures, whether they are used for cultivation, alchemy, arrays, casting, or directly raising them as beast pets, they are indispensable for cultivators, so since ancient times, there have often been monks on other continents who do not hesitate to venture into hunting spirit beasts.
Over time, humans gradually occupied one-third of the territory of the Demon Plains, which also caused a state of hostility between the two sides.
Most of the monks from all over the country who entered the Demon Plains cultivated to be high-level, mostly casual cultivators, and later gradually formed a number of large and small forces, such as the Blood Moon Black Sand Sect, which was long in the Imperial Beasts and famous for its Spirit Beast Legion.
Even so, in the area controlled by humans, thousands of scattered beast hunting organizations of varying sizes were still the most active force.
This is the current status quo of the Demon Plain, monks from different continents are scattered, although they are not united, but they are encroaching on the territory of the spirit beast step by step, and the spirit beast regards humans as the great enemy who invades the homeland, and the two sides are full of fire and water, especially on the border where the canine teeth are intertwined, and the fight is very cruel.
Besides, Hua Lanting and the others, after resting, under the guidance of Zhuge Yun, returned to the Blood Moon Black Sand Sect.
The Blood Moon Black Sand Sect occupies a vast area.
In the outermost circle, there is a water area of the Protector Sect, which is hundreds of zhang wide, and is guarded by water beasts. Further inward, there is a circle of trenches several miles wide, and then there are vast sand dunes and sand hills.
The color of the sand here is not yellowish and whitish, but dark black, which is also one of the reasons why the Blood Moon Black Sand Sect got its name.
The headquarters of the Blood Moon Black Sand Sect is built on top of the low black sand dunes and sand mountains, undulating, with strange shapes of houses, and the exterior walls are all white, painted with the shape of the Blood Moon, which is very exotic At the same time, it also has a touch of slaughter.
When passing through the trench, Hua Lanting and they could see that there were many black and red colors on the ground below, which was obviously the condensation of old blood, combined with the defensive arrangement of the water area and the trench, it seemed that the battle on the Taichu Demon Plain was even more tragic than in Xianzhou.
Hearing that Zhuge Yun was coming from the same sect, the sect leader of the Blood Moon Black Sand Sect, Zhang Weiji, set up a banquet in the evening to invite him and personally appeared.
In the past few days, the team of relatives in Vientiane Gate has become accustomed to the style of Heisha Sect with a big banquet on three days and a small banquet on five days, the north is cold, and it is winter at this time, and the locals are used to drinking and eating meat.
Zhang Weichen was dressed in a white robe, with a blood moon scimitar pattern only available to the sect master on his chest, and his person looked drooping and old, and he couldn't see the majestic posture of a sect master, and he only spoke with a full of energy, which shocked people's eardrums.
I only heard Sect Master Zhang say: "It is a happy thing that Zhuge can meet the same sect in the Demon Plain. Come, this sect proposes, everyone drink this cup to the full. ”
Hua Lanting and others did it all.
Hua Lanting and Yi Liunian were happy, it turned out that the surprise that Zhuge Yun said was that Feng Qingjun and Wen Yin were also in the team of proposing relatives, and of course the four of them had to drink and talk happily when they met.
The team of proposing relatives included Song Feifei, as well as Zhuge Yun's fellow disciple Pei Xizhan in the Fourth Peak Tianquan Peak, as well as Luo Siyu, Gu Chenfeng, an old acquaintance from Zhaoyao Peak, and two male disciples named Qin Yi and Jiang Gancheng.
The Blood Moon Black Sand Sect is a great sect of imperial beasts, and it is only right to send four disciples of Zhaoyao Peak to follow.
In addition, the leader of the team was a deacon named Anping Tai of the Thunder Punishment Temple.
It's not that the Vientiane Sect doesn't pay attention to this matter, Zhuge Yun is only a junior disciple after all, and this trip is just a proposal. If it is a big wedding, of course, there will be important people who will come forward. Meantime. An Pingtai brought a large number of spirit stones, spirit weapons and other items as a dowry, which made the Blood Moon Black Sand Sect very satisfied.
In addition, don't look at An Pingtai's cultivation is not very strong, but he is a long-sleeved person who is good at communicating, and he is popular inside and outside the door.
It took a lot of time to cross the two places, and the team set off a few months ago, first escorted by the Vientiane Gate, passed through multiple public teleportation arrays to the border, and then was picked up by the Black Sand Sect, and the teleportation arrays on this side were sparse, and it took a long time to arrive.
During the banquet, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and everyone could see that Zhang Weichen still liked Zhuge Yun, the prospective son-in-law.
Zhang has two daughters and an adopted son.
The eldest daughter Zhang Xiyun went to the Central Houtu Continent to learn art, and the second daughter Zhang Hanyun went to the Vientiane Gate. It can be seen that Zhang Weichen has his own ideas, and he is willing to let his two daughters go away at a young age, which also shows that he has the intention of befriending Vientiane.
Moreover, Zhuge Yun is only in his early thirties, although he is a bit silent, but his cultivation has reached the enthronement period of the Five Qi Dynasty Yuan Realm, at least in the Blood Moon Black Sand Sect, he can't find such a person.
These days, Zhuge Yun also had a friendly competition with the disciples of the same age of the Blood Moon Sect, no one was his opponent, and even a few masters of the sect who were older than one or two generations failed to win.
After the banquet, the disciples of Vientiane Sect continued to drink tea in their residence to catch up.
This is Yi Liunian's idea, he is very curious about how Zhuge Yun and Zhang Hanyun have been involved in this matter in the past three years, in fact, in the two years after he took out the mission.
Zhuge Yun couldn't make a fut with three sticks on this matter, Zhang Hanyun also smiled and didn't answer, Yi Liunian had to ask the people who came with him one by one.
Several people have their own opinions, which makes Yi Liunian very dissatisfied and puzzled. I don't understand that among the eight of them, except for Lin Xianjing and Song Feifei, who are still undecided, among the other three couples, it is Zhuge Yun who has not been able to pull a few steps to seize the opportunity.
Hualan Ting was not as gossip as Yi Liunian, so he talked with Luo Siyu and Gu Chenfeng, a few disciples of Swagger Peak.
Hua Lanting has been missing for three years, but his reputation among the sixty generations of disciples has not diminished. Jiang Gancheng came over to toast and complimented a few words.
I don't know that the disciple named Qin Yi said in a weird way: "Senior Brother Hua is highly skilled, there are a group of bigwigs in the door, there are many opportunities, the limelight is strong, and the resources are sufficient, Senior Brother, I also admire it." ”
said that he admired, and anyone could hear the ridicule and dissatisfaction in his words.
Luo Siyu saw that the words were wrong, and came out to play a round and said: "Everyone has their own chances, and there is no need to be more serious between the same door." Let's just say that I, I have come to communicate with the seniors of the Blood Moon Black Sand Sect, it can be said that I have gained a lot, and the level of the beast will definitely improve when I go back. ”
Qin Yi snorted, found a borrowed caliber and left first.
Gu Chenfeng said: "Lan Ting, don't mind, this Senior Brother Qin has shown a good talent in the imperial beast, and the elders in the peak are very fond of him, and he has developed this stinky temper, and others are actually not bad." ”
Hua Lanting didn't take it too seriously.
He diverted the topic and said: "Doesn't Sect Master Zhang still have an adopted son, I remember that his name is Yun Tianhua, and he also accompanied him when Han Yun came that year, and he seemed to have met once at the three-stream four-hole cascading waterfall. Why didn't you see him this time?"
Zhang Hanyun's face was a little bad, and before he could speak, Jiang Gancheng replied with a grin: "Senior Brother Hua, Senior Brother advises you to talk less about this topic." When I was chatting with the disciples of the Black Sand Sect, they privately told me that Yun Tianhua left the sect a few days ago and has not returned. ”
Zhuge Yun said: "They are all their own people, and there is nothing to say." Yun Tianhua is the adopted son of the sect master, and he is very popular with the old people, and everyone says that he is the future heir of the sect master. He grew up with Hanyun since he was a child, and he was a childhood sweetheart, so he had that meaning, or he would be willing to accompany her to Xianzhou to worship the mountains in thousands of mountains. ”
Zhang Hanyun interjected: "I didn't mean that. This man is very narrow-minded, relying on his father to spoil him, and treat me as a forbidden person. At that time, I agreed to go to the door to learn art, just to avoid him. ”
Zhuge Yun continued: "In this situation, Yun Tianhua naturally can't stand it, but this matter is reluctant, so he ran away in a bad mood, and the sect master can't do anything about him, thinking that he will come back after distracting himself." ”
After a few more days, it came time for them to return to the mountain.
Farewell to Zhang's weeping, under the escort of dozens of Blood Moon Black Sand Sect masters, everyone in Vientiane Gate embarked on the way back.
The convoy first teleported twice through the large teleportation array, and then rushed for several days to the next market town with a public teleportation circle.
In the afternoon, they passed by a place called Mingsha Mountain, where due to climatic and geographical reasons, the wind blows the sand particles and causes the rotation of the air current, which often makes a buzzing sound similar to "shaking the bamboo".
Don't look at the deacon of the Thunder Punishment Palace, An Pingtai's combat power is mediocre, his cultivation of kung fu is very sensitive in terms of ear and eye sensing and qi detection, and he suddenly said: "How do I think the noise in the vicinity is not right, there seems to be a sign of a large number of people gathering." ”
The head of the guards of the Blood Moon Black Sand Sect smiled and said, "Deacon An is too worried, what you hear must be the natural sound of Mingsha Mountain. ”
"Although this place is out of the sect's sphere of influence, we are used to it. There are few spirit beasts here, but there are often hunting teams in and out, but how dare a small group of people and horses break ground on Tai Sui's head and pick up the tiger whiskers of my Blood Moon Black Sand Sect. ”
Having said that, An Ping was too suspicious, and still ordered everyone in Vientiane Gate to be on guard.
Sure enough, something happened soon.
They have been ambushed!
There were about three hundred people on the other side, divided into several groups, and they emerged from behind the surrounding sand dunes and rushed down, quickly surrounding and dividing the convoy, many of whom were accompanied by breeding spirit birds and beasts.
Seeing this, the leader of the guard shouted: "It's not good, everyone is close to meet the enemy! It's the black hyenas!
