Volume 1 Chapter 3 Demon Attack
"Secret poison, what secret poison?" Senior Brother Li was startled, obviously not thinking that his master still had any secret poison.
"Senior brother, you don't know, this is one of Master's secrets," the man surnamed Di said unhurriedly, "His old man once accidentally told me that Master had planted some kind of secret poison in his body in his early years, and after years of refining, this poison has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and Master has become resistant. If someone else murders the Master, that person will be marked, and the secret poison in the Master's body will silently attach to him, and a stick of incense will merge with the bloodline in a moment, and there is no cure. β
"So powerful, then isn't this person certain to die?" Senior Brother Li said with a happy face, which was probably the only "good news" he heard that day.
"No," said this, but the man surnamed Di shook his head and said, "This poison cannot cause death, but it will make the monk's life worse than death!" I don't know the specific effect, he just mentioned it casually at the time. β
"It's a pity that such a powerful poison can't kill you!" Senior Brother Li could only sigh like this, "But what should we do now?"
"If you can't find this person's whereabouts, you can only return in vain. The man surnamed Di also frowned.
......
In a barren mountain in the Qiyun Mountain Range, Mu Quan was meditating in a mountain range, and the transformed snow wolf "Shuang'er" was protecting his Dharma in a plate.
Suddenly, Mu Quan spurted out a mouthful of essence blood, and his expression was haggard.
"Childe, what's wrong with you?" Shuang'er was still a woman at the moment, and quickly took out a fine handkerchief to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth for him.
"I ...... I can't mobilize the mana in my body!" Mu Quan twitched the corners of his mouth and said angrily.
"How can this be, obviously I have already taken a few pills, at least it will have some effect!" Shuang'er was also extremely surprised at this moment, her sleeve robe flicked, and a wisp of blue light covered Mu Quan, and she closed her eyes.
After a while, Shuang'er had a bitter face: "Shuang'er's cultivation is limited, I can't see that there is a problem in Gongzi's body, it is Shuang'er who is dragging it down." β
"What does this have to do with you," Mu Quan was a little tired, "Obviously, it should be some secret poison planted by Yuan Xi in my body, I didn't even notice it for a while, it seems that now I can only visit that old friend." β
"Childe is talking aboutβ" Shuang'er looked surprised.
"That's right, the medical immortal hand - Le Zhengqing!"
......
Qianji Pavilion, one of the six major sects of the Qiyun Mountain Range, the "Wuji Valley" where this pavilion is located is where its sect is located. This pavilion is very good at the way of puppets, and it is also quite accomplished in formation.
On this day, in the Council Hall of the Thousand Machines Pavilion, a group of elders were gathered together.
Xun Li, the master of the Thousand Machines Pavilion, that is, the person in charge of this pavilion, looks extremely serious.
"Senior brother, what happened, why did you gather us all here? A big man with thick eyebrows couldn't help but speak.
Xun Li's face was solemn: "Elders, I summoned you here today because of the Yin Mingyuan incident. You all know that the formation prohibitions around Yin Mingyuan were all arranged by the ancestors, but a few days ago, Elder Chen, who was in charge of guarding, suddenly sensed some extremely faint fluctuations, and the disciples in the sect also discovered this, and after I used the puppet to investigate, I found that there was a group of demons who broke the ban with a secret method, and it seems that the demon attack is coming again!"
"What the Pavilion Master said is true, this demon attack is really not the right time, in about two years, it will be the time of the Autumn Ancestor Festival," a man with hair stood up and asked.
"Can the old body still deceive you?" Xun Li snorted coldly, "Don't be in a hurry in advance of the Qiu Ancestor Sacrifice, these demons haven't been able to affect the energy of our hundred-year-old prosperity." But now they're absconding everywhere. They can use secret techniques to evade the ban, and there are at least a few beings who are the same as us, so Xun also hopes that the elders can help, so that these demons will not be unfavorable to this pavilion!"
"Dare to ask the Pavilion Master, how many demons have come this time, and what is the rank?" asked a woman in red this time.
Seeing this, Xun Li said with a smile: "There are not many demons who came this time, there are only three or four hundred demons and some low-level demonic beasts, but most of them are low-level existences, and there are only more than ten in the Cangling Realm, fortunately, there are no demons in the Heavenly Void Realm." β
"These numbers are still not enough to worry about with the strength of our six major sects, and with our strength, we can still calm this matter, but before we can solve them, those low-level demons still have to be handed over to the disciples in the sect to deal with. The man with the hair said.
"This is natural, but the disciples in the sect still need someone to preside over the overall situation. In this way, Daoist friends who are proficient in the formation will lead their disciples to exterminate low-level demons, and other Daoists will deal with those high-level demons with me, how about it?" Xun Li didn't think about it for long, and then proposed this method, which shows that the master of the first pavilion is not in vain.
"It is our duty to protect the safety of the sect," the woman in red said again, "But although this demon attack is not as good as before, there are as many as three or four hundred, and I am afraid that other sects will not believe it if they break the formation with secret techniques." β
"It's not unheard of before, and it's not surprising that I don't know what secret techniques there are among the demons. Besides, it is possible that there is an entrance and exit in the Yin Ming Abyss that has not been discovered. But let's inform the other sects first. Xun Li sneered and said. Although the safety of other sects has nothing to do with Qianji Pavilion, they still need to sell their face.
"Yes, Pavilion Master, I'll go down and prepare first. One of them said this, and the crowd departed.
"Slow down, everybody. β
Yin Ming Abyss is an abyss that stretches for tens of thousands of miles, running through the Qiyun Mountain Range, but more importantly, the demonic energy in it is very sufficient, although there are some places suitable for cultivating demonic Dao exercises in other places, but it pales in comparison with the demonic qi in Yinming Abyss. Therefore, it has also become a place of yearning for many people who practice demonic skills.
However, there are demons and positives, the six major sects of the Qiyun Mountain Range, Qiongming Mountain, Wanyi Sect, Tianfu Gate, Qianji Pavilion, Qingling Temple, and Chuanyun Academy. Among them, only the Wanyi Sect is not the righteous path, but they are not the devil's path either, they belong to the neutral sect.
The two realms of righteousness and demons are incompatible, therefore, every hundred years, there will be demons breaking the ban from the Yin Ming Abyss, the number of people is impermanent, sometimes tens of thousands, and when there are only dozens of people, this is what they call "demon attack".
The number of demons is not something that those demons can control, but although this formation is extremely mysterious, it will be weakened by the once-in-a-century celestial phenomenon, and there is no shortage of gaps, of course, it is also possible for some formations to break the ban where they are weak. It's just that no matter inside or outside the Yin Ming Abyss, the weakness of this formation is irregular, although the divination technique can be known in advance, but this will consume at least half of the essence blood of the five Cangling Realm elders, and the gains really outweigh the losses.
The Yin Ming Abyss stretches for 100,000 miles and is hundreds of miles wide. Legend has it that for hundreds of thousands of years, after a great war between humans and demons, the ancestors of the Thousand Machine Pavilion led hundreds of formation masters to lay down this "Tianyuan Demon Separation Array", and after this, the patrol work of this array was specially taken care of by the Thousand Machine Pavilion. When the demon attacked, quickly inform the rest of the sects. On the surface, it is said that the ancestors of Qianji Pavilion have inherited and are good at the way of formation, but the actual reason is that Qianji Pavilion has the lowest position among the five righteous path sects.
......
In a barren mountain, Di Qinghao and Li Han appeared there, and this place was exactly where Mu Quan had stayed. At that time, Di Qinghao and the others suddenly cut off Mu Quan's trace in the Aocheng Inn, and just as the two were about to leave, they suddenly sensed Mu Quan's breath and hurriedly chased after them.
Di Qinghao stood in a clearing, his mana began to mobilize, and suddenly saw a faint green silk flowing within a few zhang, and after a while, he stopped casting spells.
"What's the situation, Senior Brother?" asked after Di Qinghao's breath had stabilized.
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint my junior brother," Di Qinghao said with a somewhat ugly face, "We just sensed that this person was just because he squirted a mouthful of essence blood, and now that his breath has disappeared again, I'm afraid it was a secret technique that was used with the power of essence blood." β
"So our trip is a bamboo basket for water?" Li Han was obviously unwilling, and his tone couldn't hide his loss.
"What else do you want to do, junior brother," Di Qinghao also said with a wry smile, "Although our Hundred Poison Hall is not a big sect, but Master is one of the Qiyun Nine Spirits, and his poison skills, even those big sect masters don't want to do it, so there are only a few people in this person's identity." Besides, as long as you check along Shuangquanzhuang in the future, you will know sooner or later. And even if this person's vitality is greatly damaged, he also specifies some magic weapons and talismans and the like, and the two of us are not enough to kill several times, so it is imperative to go back and protect the disciples in the door. β
"What Senior Brother said is true, but Senior Brother is afraid that Senior Sister Fu Ling is even more worried!" Li Han was so happy when he heard that he was going back, he actually joked with Di Qinghao.
"Okay, you junior brother, what are you thinking!" Di Qinghao said, and he got up and fled with Li Han.
......
Shuangquanzhuang, is a second-rate sect, because of the occupation of Yuyang Spring and Yuyin Spring and take this name, these two springs contain good aura, this sect was originally led by Fan Qingwen and Fan Qingwu two brothers, Fan Qingwu was killed by Yuan Xi, Fan Qingwen and Mu Quan made a deal, asked him to get Yuan Xi's head, this is the scene of the two fighting.
At this time, in a main hall in Shuangquanzhuang, Fan Qingwen was discussing with a few people about the upcoming demon attack, after all, Shuangquanzhuang was extremely friendly with the Tianfu Sect, and also indirectly recognized the identity of the Zhengdao Sect.
Suddenly, a person came in and reported: "Master, please see Yao Wu of Qiongming Mountain." β
Hearing this, Fan Qingwen immediately stopped talking, his face couldn't stop being excited, but there was a trace of sadness, all kinds of emotions in his heart were mixed together, and he hurriedly said, "Invite him in!"
Although the others didn't know what was going on, they didn't dare to say anything more based on their demeanor.
That Yao Wuyi came in, and first bowed his hand to you: "Seniors, Yao Wu in Xia Qiongming Mountain, Senior Fan, is this matter just here, or-" Obviously, he had some scruples.
"In that case, I'll waitβ" said one of the elders, and he wanted to leave.
"It's okay, there are no outsiders here, just say it here. Fan Qingwen obviously couldn't bear it.
"Yes, senior," Yao Wu was expressionless in comparison, "The Great Elder asked me to tell me: The matter explained by the senior has been done, and I am here to present Yuan Xi's head!"
