Chapter 256
When the head heard the leader's words, he only waved his hand.
Seeing this, the leader of the dark guard hooked his palm, signaled Mo Ghost to follow him, and did not go outside the hall, but walked into the main hall.
Behind the hall is a room similar to a study, in front of a row of two-person high bookshelves, the leader walked directly over, gently knocked on a jade slip in front of him, made a crisp sound, and then heard a 'crunch', the bookshelves slowly separated.
"Let's go. ”
The leader of the dark guard looked at Mo Ghost, who was a little surprised, and took the lead in walking in.
Mo Ghost only paused for a moment, then quickly followed him and walked into a secret passage. It was only a few people wide, and a moonstone was placed every few steps overhead, illuminating the small space. In the inside, I only knew that I had been walking down, and finally came to a secret room.
The leader of the dark guard went directly to the center of the secret room, and Mo Ghost also followed, and the aura in his hand gathered, pointing at one of the walls, and traces of the formation suddenly appeared under his feet.
This formation is no stranger to her, it is the teleportation array.
At the moment when he was about to leave the urging formation, Mo Ghost Divine Sense moved, and he suddenly looked at the corner of the secret room, but it quickly disappeared in front of him.
After they left, a figure slowly appeared in the secret room, wearing a black robe but full of white hair, and the deep wrinkles on both sides of the mouth looked a little serious. He sat in the corner, thinking about the way Mo Ghost looked at this side just now when they were leaving, and touched his beard.
"It's kind of interesting. ”
There was a hoarse sound in the chamber, which quickly dispersed and returned to peace.
When Mo Ghost over there opened her eyes again, she saw that she was in a valley, and there seemed to be no one around, but her divine sense was subconsciously tense, and the cold hairs on her body stood up, just like just now.
"What's wrong?" the leader turned to see her standing there, a little stiff.
"Nothing, here's ······" Mo Ghost froze and followed his footsteps, trying to ignore the tension.
"A small stronghold of the Dark Guard," the leader of the Dark Guard thought she was a little nervous, but didn't pay much attention to it, and gestured to the nearby brothers, "Our purpose is not here, come with me, don't be nervous." ”
"Yes," Mo Ghost replied in a low voice, his eyes glancing around casually, and quickly retracting his gaze.
Along the way through the valley, the leader of the Dark Guard stopped in front of a small room.
Wooden houses like this were common in the valley, and this one didn't look special, and when the leader opened the door, it was empty.
As if he had been in the Chamber of Secrets, he walked straight to the middle.
Once raw and twice cooked, the moment he stood in the middle, Mo Ghost reacted, and it seemed that it was still a teleportation array.
Sure enough, the leader's aura hit one of the walls, and the formation opened.
When he opened his eyes again, he was surrounded by towering ancient trees, and Mo Ghost and the leader stood among them, looking quite small.
"Follow me, this is a place of escape, in case you get lost, you won't be found. The leader specially told her to avoid distracting her, "The fog here has a hallucinogenic effect, hold Yuan Shouichi." ”
"Yes, Senpai. Mo Ghost didn't say that he wouldn't fall into the illusion, but as soon as he arrived here, he found out, "Is it the legendary secret place?"
All the Xiaoyao disciples know that there is a secret place in the sect, where all kinds of rare spiritual plants are planted, and even spiritual objects that have been cultivated for tens of thousands of years, which are precious and abnormal, but they have never heard of where this secret place is.
"Well, the eight-colored lotus seeds you brought back last year are also kept here for the time being, and when the ancestor comes out, he will start refining the elixir. The leader of the Dark Guard explained to her as he led the way.
He obviously walked here a lot, and was extremely familiar with the paths, and in some places he walked a few steps back and forth, winding and winding. The level of the formation was obviously not low, and Mo Ghost couldn't even see what was here, so he could only passively follow him.
The leader finally led Mo Ghost to a large tree hugged by several people, the roots of the tree were intertwined, and the leaves above the head were luxuriant, and it looked like it should be thousands of years old.
"It's called a dragon tree. The leader pointed at it, and the aura lit on it, "Stand this way." ”
He said that Mo Ghost also saw the traces of the formation below, and the main formation was still a teleportation array, but it was different.
Naturally, he couldn't see anything for a short time, and Mo Ghost followed him and teleported away in the blink of an eye.
This time, before I could see anything around me, I felt a burst of rich aura rushing to my face, and the rough feeling was at least twice that of Hanling Mountain, you must know that the concentration of aura on your own mountain is not low, but it is really a little poor compared to here.
"This is a small secret realm?" Mo Ghost looked at the leader of the Dark Guard.
"Well, it's a place where the Avatar Cultivator cultivates, there are eight of them here, I don't know how many of them stay here, you should be careful in the future. The leader of the dark guard also spoke quietly, and instead of going inside, he went straight to the round tower on his left, where a row of ten stood there.
When Mo Ghost heard him say this, he didn't know what he was going to do.
"Do you see this tower?" As he got closer, the leader pointed to the towering round tower and turned his head to look at Mo Ghost, "Do you know what this is?"
"Haven't heard of it. Mo Ghost shook her head, she really didn't know.
"This tower is a place to store all the news of the Escape. The leader of the Dark Guard pushed open the door of the nearby round tower, "At first, it didn't have a name, but then it was called the Intelligence Tower." ”
Mo Ghost followed in, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a few people-high bookshelves, which were full of jade slips and stacked notes, and walked in along the only way, as if it was a rolled flatbread, round and round, and in the middle was a vertical crystal pillar, with the year written on the small grid.
"Each floor here records all the news of a thousand years, each tower has a hundred floors, and ten have been built so far, and all the news is here since the first year of the Yunhai calendar. ”
The leader's finger tapped a grid on the crystal pillar, and Mo Ghost saw the bookshelf around him light up, and when she walked in, she could see the crystal inlaid above the bookshelf emitting a white light, she cautiously did not pick it up directly, and turned her head to look at the leader.
"The record there is the information of the year," the leader pointed to the illuminated area, "the tower we stand on is the location of the news of the last 100,000 years, and it is also the task assigned to you. ”
"Me?" Mo Ghost's heart was pounding, these are the hundreds of thousands of years of freedom, and it stands to reason that they are all secret, such as a monk who is only in the Jindan stage, how can she come into contact with these things, "What can I do?"
"These messages have been piled up here since they were collected, there are all kinds of things, a note, a jade slip, all of them are miscellaneous, if you check it again, there are some troubles, and you need someone to sort it out. The leader of the dark guard picked up a random one, and on it was a dialogue, from a small sect in the Southern Regions, "That's why I called you here." ”
"If you want to be regular, I'm afraid some people want to come over, right? Why did you choose me?" These jade slips are priceless treasures, and Mo ghosts naturally want to see them, but there is no free lunch in the world.
"Yes, why you?" the leader didn't answer directly, "The last monk who came to sort out the news was thousands of years ago, and he was in charge of all the information, and now he is in the late stage of the transformation of the gods, and his ascension is imminent, so he is cultivating in this secret realm." ”
Mo Ghost 'buzzed' in his head, what does this mean?
"Xiaoyao needs a monk who is familiar with all the news, has enough judgment ability for the information gathered, and can keenly detect the anomalies in it, do you think you can do it?
"I ······" Mo Ghost's lips were a little dry, and he only felt that the big cake had really hit her, so he took a deep breath, "The disciple doesn't dare to boast about Haikou, but I want to try my best." ”
After speaking, he saluted respectfully.
"Don't worry," the leader waved his hand and helped her up, "Changhe has always been cultivated as the head of the family, but it is not the only choice, with your qualifications, you are fully qualified to earn a profit, but if you want to stay here and take over the responsibilities of the ancestor, it automatically means that you have withdrawn from the competition, think about it, do you want to take over?"
After the leader's words were finished, Mo Ghost's eyes were slightly dull, the master?
To tell the truth, she had never considered the position of head of the sect before, thinking back then, she was just a little disciple who could enter the free world, but in twenty years, she also had the opportunity to seek the position of the head of the first sect in the continent.
Intrigued?
This is natural, saying that I don't want to be fake, the head of the house, I'm afraid no one can refuse the temptation of these four words, if there is no such thing today, she will not hesitate to compete once.
Mo Ghost Ghost's hand picked up a note, which said that the Changchun Valley in the Northern Regions is on the rise, and a god monk has appeared inside the door. The news thousands of years ago, the note was slightly yellowed, but it witnessed the beginning of the rise of Changchun Valley.
"Ancestor... Ruled this place for thousands of years?" Mo Ghost raised his head and looked at the leader.
"Well, thousands of years. The leader nodded, his eyes filled with appreciation, relieved that she had been able to grasp the point.
This shows that the ancestor has experienced nearly ten heads.
"Why does such a character exist?" Mo Ghost hesitated for a moment, but still said the question in his heart.
"The significance of the existence of the head of the sect is to maintain the normal operation of the sect, not only in this aspect, but also in the cultivation of disciples, the security of the towns under the sect, the operation of the Xiaoyao shop, and the exchanges between the various sects, although he does not need to participate in the whole power, but the big decisions need to be made by him. ”
"These things are trivial and complicated, but they can't be completely delegated to the monks below, they have to be checked every once in a while, and you don't need to say that the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed in an anthill. The existence of our secret guard is to make things easier for the master, as a knife in the master's hand. ”
"In addition to these, the most important thing for a sect is the issue of safety. The changes in the situation of the entire continent and the changes in the disciples of the sect, including the impact of natural disasters and man-made disasters, can destroy the foundation of a sect, and how to accurately analyze the spearhead of these things in all the sporadic news, so as to pursue the advantages and avoid the disadvantages, is what the intelligence elders have to do. ”
'Elder Intelligence' is the title that the Ancestor in charge of intelligence has always called, but there are very few monks in the sect who know of his existence.
"The head can change every hundred years, because what the head does can be handed over, but the intelligence elder cannot. You must know that a lot of deployment for a hundred years is just a foundation, just like the battle of the Dao Demon back then, the demon cultivator secretly prepared for nearly 10,000 years, if someone could connect the clues early, it would not become the most heavy loss of spiritual cultivation. ”
It was also from that time that Xiaoyao quickly implemented this vague idea, and so far there have been six intelligence elders, the longest of which has been in office for more than 1,500 years, and has made great contributions to Xiaoyao. ”
"Since the seniors yearn for it, why don't you fight for it?" Mo Ghost looked at him with a glint in his eyes, which was admiration and yearning.
The leader smiled bitterly when he heard this, "You see, you can find that my emotions are abnormal, and I know that I still can't control myself, this is the reason why you have a chance and I can't, I am not calm enough, the overall situation is not strong, and no matter how long I learn, my nature still can't be changed." ”
Mo Ghost was not easy to answer, so he lowered his head and did not speak.
She didn't speak, and the leader didn't urge, after all, this is not a trivial matter, of course you need to think about it, he has already said what should be said, just waiting for her to make a decision.
Mo Ghost asked himself in his heart, what do you want to do?
Rubbing the yellowed pieces of paper in her hand, feeling the words on it, looking at the jade slips on the wall full of desire to learn, what can she gain from here?
After thinking about it little by little, her heart lost the apprehension she had when she first came in, and gradually settled down.
"The seniors, the juniors are not talented, and they want to stay. Mo Ghost bowed half-bowed.
"Don't regret it, head of the house!" the leader asked again with joy on his face.
"Now that you've made your decision, you won't regret it, it's a good place, I like it. Mo Ghost smiled, looking at the leader's expression and only felt funny, but it still didn't pierce it, the leader just looked at the face dark.
"Okay, since you stay, let's tidy up for the ancestor, don't think that everything will be fine if you come over, and if you don't do well, you will be invited back," the leader smiled heartily, "Don't let down the boss's efforts this month, he has great expectations for you." ”
"Did the boss help me?" Mo Ghost was slightly puzzled.
"Naturally, the monks who wanted to come over before were at least in the Yuan Infant Stage, you are the one with the lowest cultivation, and the head of the sect fought for you," the leader pinched his waist, "You have recovered at the beginning of the month, and you will not come here until the end of the month, this month is all about arguing with the elders, and in the end, it is the ancestor who makes a decision, let you come and give it a try." ”
"The younger generation will live up to the love of the master," Mo Ghost's eyes were firm.
"Okay, then do a good job here," the leader never stopped smiling, "You have a good heart, and you can just give up the position of head directly, not everyone can do it." ”
Mo Ghost didn't speak this time, his eyes blinked.
She is not completely simple-minded, it is the result of careful consideration.
