Chapter 20 The Plan to Seize the Throne

An hour later, Wu Lu, who had just been so distressed that his soul trembled so much that he fainted because of the "Hidden Qi Technique", endured the pain and prepared to enter the "General Formation Strategy".

However, this time the pain was no longer as intense as the first time, but the "General Formation Strategy" was not only a few thousand words like the "Hidden Qi Technique", but contained thousands of basic formation patterns and hundreds of thousands of words of accompanying explanations. So this pain is endless, and it has lasted for nearly a pillar of incense.

At this time, Wu Lu was already sweating in pain, and his hands were clenched into fists and his nails were digging into the flesh.

When the entry was over, Wu Lu exhaled heavily, and finally relieved the pain. I have to say that the pain of the soul is ten times more than the pain of the body, which is beyond the ability of ordinary people to bear.

But in the end, Wu Lu still persevered, he took a deep breath, sat down, and began to use his divine sense to interpret the content that had just been entered into the sea of knowledge.

Soon, Wu Lu opened his eyes in astonishment, and said in confusion: "Senior, why don't I know the text I just entered? That is, it is not an official script or a regular script, and I can't recognize a single word at all!"

Jiang Mei opened her mouth, then patted her forehead with a sudden realization, and found a jade slip out of nowhere, and said: "I almost forgot, this "Hidden Qi Technique" and "General Formation Strategy" are both written in the Xiuzhen Realm script, and I will enter the language system of the Xiuzhen Realm for your Zhihai, so that you can read and understand the Xiuzhen Realm characters, and you can also speak the words of the Xiuzhen Realm... Huh?

Wu Lu fell directly to the ground, and the pain that he had just endured with his soul trembling was stimulated by Jiang Mei's words and could no longer be suppressed, and the huge pain made Wu Lu faint again.

When Wu Lu woke up, Jiang Mei supported her chin with one hand, kept holding the jade slip in her hand, and motioned for him to continue to complete the entry.

Wu Lu had a bitter face, and finally completed the entry in pain in his soul again.

When the pain dissipated, Wu Lu was finally able to understand the words of the Xiuzhen Realm burned in the Sea of Knowledge, and when he opened his mouth again, he could actually speak the words of the Xiuzhen Realm, which suddenly surprised Wu Lu.

He knew that Pei Lingyun was going to take him to the cultivation realm, so he didn't have to worry about going there to make sense of words.

Thinking of the cultivation realm, Wu Lu once again asked, "I don't know what year the predecessor came here from the cultivation realm through the teleportation array?"

Jiang Mei thought for a while and said: "I have forgotten how many years, I only remember that when I teleported to this realm, this Changbai Mountain belonged to the territory of the Dajin Kingdom, and the emperor of the Dajin Kingdom was surnamed Wanyan." And there is a Great Xia Kingdom to the west of the Dajin Kingdom, and a Great Song Kingdom to the south..."

When Wu Lu heard this, he knew that it was the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was three or four hundred years away from the current Ming Wanli Dynasty.

When he thought of the Southern Song Dynasty, Wu Lu remembered what Zhou Luowei once said that Zhang Sanfeng, the ancestor of Wudang Mountain, was born in the Southern Song Dynasty. For a while, I was curious and hurriedly asked Jiang Meike, but at that time, I met a cultivator who called himself Zhang Sanfeng?

Jiang Mei thought for a while and said, "The aura in this realm is thin, and there are not many cultivators. In the years before finding this fire refining room, the three of us had traveled around the three kingdoms of Jinxia and Song, and even the Liao Kingdom in the west of Great Xia and the Dali Kingdom in the southwest of the Great Song Dynasty had traveled, and only a handful of cultivators we had met were in the third or fourth layer of the Qi cultivation period, but they had reached the Qi training period by chance. ”

"However, there was an ascetic in the middle stage of foundation building who met the highest cultivation, but at that time, his life was at the end of his life, and he was waiting for the soldiers to solve in a place called Fog Pig Mountain. When the three of us appeared in front of him, he thought that we were the envoys of the Heavenly Court who introduced him to immortality, and he was very excited and made jokes. ”

I don't know what I thought, Jiang Mei continued with some sadness: "This person has extremely high qualifications, he is the owner of the wood attribute Heavenly Spirit Root, and I also remember the name, his name is Cao Jingxiu. With his qualifications and the perseverance of penance, if he could easily enter the Dan stage in the cultivation realm, he could obtain five or six hundred years of longevity, and even enter the Yuan Infant Stage. In this realm, he could only cultivate to the middle stage of foundation building, but he was less than two hundred years old before he was dismissed. It's sad and lamentable..."

"Cao Jingxiu?" Wu Lu didn't notice Jiang Mei's sad expression, he just thought carefully about whether there was such a celebrity in history, and after thinking for a while, he didn't remember it at all. Presumably, this person is really a cultivator who cultivates in the mountains and wilderness, and he has not left any legends in the world at all.

At this moment, Jiang Mei's sadness suddenly disappeared, and her eyes flashed. She stood up from the stone platform silently and said to Wu Lu: "You should study it here, my soul power is a little declining, and I need to go back to the Death Mirror to rest for a while." In a few hours, I'll activate the teleportation array again to send you out. ”

Wu Lu remembered that the situation where he was taken away by the fire qilin was seen by Wanyan Long'er, and he would inevitably inform Hu Xiaoling and Pei Lingyun that when they went into the water to inspect, they might find the teleportation array, and what should they do if they come in when the time comes?

Wu Lu informed Jiang Mei of this doubt.

Jiang Mei smiled faintly when she heard this: "This kind of short-distance teleportation array in the refining room has a characteristic, that is, in order to avoid being disturbed by outsiders when refining, the formation center is located in the refining room, as long as the teleportation center is closed, even if there is a great power outside, it is impossible to enter through the teleportation array." And I've always turned off the teleportation array, even if outsiders find the teleportation array in Tianchi, it is impossible to teleport in. ”

After explaining, Jiang Mei ran briskly in one direction of the stone chamber and soon disappeared.

Wu Lu didn't care, and continued to use his divine sense to explore the information burned in the sea of knowledge.

On the other side, Jiang Mei's soul body passed through layers of stone walls and came to a huge stone room.

This huge stone chamber is surrounded by dozens of stone doors, and behind each stone door is a separate stone house. There was also a fire pool in the middle of the stone room, which was different from the fire pool in the refining room, which was covered with a huge pentagonal lid with an intricate formation pattern. And around it according to a specific order, there are various Dan furnaces of different sizes on display, some damaged, some intact. Rows of stone shelves are lined with all kinds of bottles and jars.

This is actually an alchemy room.

Jiang Mei didn't tell Wu Lu that the earth fire could not only be used to refine weapons, but more importantly, to refine pills. In this Changbai Mountain, there is not only an earth fire refining room, but also an earth fire alchemy room.

Jiang Mei came to a stone door, beckoned slightly, a piece of jade pendant came in the air, she put the jade pendant into the groove of the stone door, and the stone door immediately opened, revealing the stone house inside.

This stone house was specially used for secret refining pills, but now it is a mess. The dragon's head-shaped fire in the house had been shattered, and the stone slabs on the walls used for heat insulation had cracked.

However, the formation guarding the alchemy room and the refining room has been constantly operating.

Jiang Mei walked to a corner, closed her eyes at a flaw at the edge of the formation, and then opened her mouth to speak, but the timbre was no longer the girl's immature voice, but the sound was like a Hong Zhong with a rough and thick feeling.

"Are you here for Wu Lu's business this time?" Jiang Mei said.

And in a cave formed by a volcanic eruption across a dozen zhang of mountain rocks from Jiang Mei, a chubby old woman hurriedly knelt on the ground and said piously to a rock wall: "Lord Huishan God, the slave maid is here for this matter." That Wu Lu is the person brought by Pei Lingyun, a monk in the foundation building period, and the mountain god took that Wu Lu away, for fear that it will make Pei Lingyun suspicious, and he searched around on this Changbai Mountain, and finally ruined the matter of the mountain god!"

"Do you think that the cultivation of the Buddha-figure will be ruined by a small foundation-building monk?" The strong and rugged voice sounded again: "Or are you just worried that your matter of taking away your disciples will be discovered by the foundation-building period monk?"

The chubby old woman raised her head suddenly, but it was Hu Xiaoling, who was at the ninth level of the Qi training period.

Hu Xiaoling squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying on her face, and she explained with some fear: "Go back to the mountain god, where can the villain's affairs be compared to the big things of the mountain god! ”

"Hmph, if only you had such a mind in your search for the Fire Attribute Heavenly Spirit Root. The voice snorted coldly and said, "But then you don't have to continue to look for the fire attribute Heavenly Spirit Root, this Wu Lu's qualifications barely meet the requirements of the deity." ”

"But..."

"No, I know what you're worried about, the owner of the spiritual root you have sent over the years has never returned, but this Wu Lu is different, the deity has decided to make him the next generation of Changbai Mountain Mountain God. In a few hours, the deity will put him back, and all you have to do is wait near the Heavenly Pond and pick him up. ”

"But in order to prevent Wu Lu from knowing that you have a connection with the deity, so as not to cause extraneous complications, you can prepare this set of rhetoric..."As she spoke, Jiang Mei told Hu Xiaoling what she had already planned.

After hearing this, Hu Xiaoling's doubts suddenly disappeared, and then bowed down and said respectfully: "The villain must follow the instructions of Lord Mountain God." ”

"It's just..."Hu Xiaoling hesitated again: "The receptor used by the villain to seize the house has already been prepared, and the art of taking the house has also been practiced to the fullest, can the mountain god give the villain the Seven Ghost Soul Devouring Magic Weapon as soon as possible to help the villain succeed in seizing the house, this old body is too much of a drag for the villain to serve the mountain god." ”

Jiang Mei was silent for a moment and said, "What kind of cultivation has you reached in the receptor cultivation you found?"

"Lord Huishan God, you have already practiced the third layer of qi!" After Hu Xiaoling finished speaking, her expression suddenly changed, and she seemed to feel that she had said the wrong thing.

"In addition to Wu Lu, the other six Qi cultivation period cultivators who came to Tianchi during the day today, there is a young girl who cultivates to the third level of the Qi cultivation period, but is she?"

Hu Xiaoling was silent for a moment and said: "It's her, she is called Yan Long'er, and she is the recipient of the villain's search for many years. ”

"Hahaha, looking at your appearance as a treasure, it is obvious that this woman called Yan Long'er has excellent spiritual root attributes, otherwise you wouldn't have been hiding it from the deity. ”

"It's a shame that the villain's thoughts were discovered by Lord Mountain God. Hu Xiaoling continued: "The villain accepted Yan Long'er as an apprentice with the intention of using it as a recipient of the seizure, in order to prevent her from cultivating too quickly, which is not conducive to the seizure, so she just taught her the basic exercises of the five elements, but since that Pei Lingyun came, he gave her a set of exercises that were easier to improve her cultivation, and the villain was afraid... I'm afraid..."

"I'm afraid that Yan Long'er's cultivation will improve too quickly, and even surpass you in a short period of time, causing your plan to take away the sacrifice! After all, one of the three iron laws of the seizure is that only cultivators with high mana power can take away cultivators with low mana. ”

That's why the villain was so eager to beg the mountain god to grant the Seven Ghosts Soul Devouring Magic Weapon as soon as possible. ”

"The deity has its own plan for your seizure, and you don't need to say anything more, and wait patiently for three years. ”

"But..."

"I can't wait for three years, isn't it because Yan Long'er is Heavenly Spirit Root?"

Hu Xiaoling was robbed like this, so she could only smile bitterly and shake her head and said, "Lord Mountain God said that it was funny, where is the Heavenly Spirit Root so easy to find." It's just that the villain covets Yan Long'er's young body, hoping to return to youth as soon as possible. ”

"Hmph, even if Yan Long'er is really a fire attribute heavenly spirit root, the deity will not ask you for it, what the deity needs is a young man with a fire attribute heavenly spirit root. Although Wu Lu is only a dual-attribute heavenly spirit root, it is better than a wood fire dual spirit root, wood makes fire, and the cultivation of fire attribute exercises can be quickly improved, and it can only barely meet the requirements of the deity. ”

Hu Xiaoling nodded hurriedly and said yes.

"Alright, that's it. You just retreat, go to Tianchi and wait patiently, the deity will put that Wu Law back, and you will act according to the plan!"

"Yes, the villain is leaving!" Hu Xiaoling stood up and slowly left along the cave passage.

On the other side, Jiang Mei also walked out of the alchemy stone house and came to the huge stone room outside. She let out a long sigh and walked to the edge of the fire, her eyes sad in her eyes.

With a wave of his hand, I saw that the pentagonal lid covering the fire pool was slowly lifted, and the terrible roar of the ghost suddenly sounded.

I saw dozens of ghosts flying around in the magma of the fire pool, and the grimaces of those ghosts were extremely distorted and deformed after seeing Jiang Mei, and the color of resentment and hatred could be said to be hating Jiang Mei to the bone.

There were a few ghosts fluttering towards Jiang Mei, all of which were blocked by a circle of light masks, and then red points of light flew out from time to time at the edge of the fire pool, hitting those ghosts, emitting bursts of terrible screams.

In the middle of the magma in the fire pool, a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe sat upright on the magma, ignoring the miserable ghosts around him, his eyes closed, as if he was meditating and cultivating.

A fiery red orb hovered on the scribe's chest, emitting a faint glow. The body of the scribe, on the other hand, is a non-existent being, and it is obviously the body of a soul. Occasionally, a red light hit the scribe, showing a slight look of pain.

"Senior Brother Han, I've made you suffer for so many years. Jiang Mei didn't care about those ghosts at all, but looked at the middle-aged scribe in the fire pool affectionately and said: "The fire attribute Heavenly Spirit Root's snatching receptor has not been found, but fortunately, today I found a wood fire dual spirit root owner, just wait for him to cultivate to the ninth layer of the Qi cultivation period, enter the Yang Fire Pool, and completely close this fire binding spirit array." Senior Brother, if your soul body takes the opportunity to be reborn, we can once again embark on the path of cultivating the truth, and Senior Brother, you don't have to continue to suffer for hundreds of years in this Earth Fire Purgatory!"

It turned out that the middle-aged scribe in this fire pool was the mid-stage cultivator of the Yudan who had joined forces with Jiang Mei to make a draw with Liu Yanjing back then, this person's name was Han Qingwen, who was originally an elder of the Ghost Flame Sect, one of the seven major factions of the Yan Kingdom, with excellent qualifications, and was the owner of the fire attribute Heavenly Spirit Root.

But now, how can he be trapped in this fire pool, and he can only survive with the body of his soul.
