Chapter 371: Reason
The magic stone is also a currency in the world of cultivating immortals, which is equivalent to the spirit stone, but unlike the spirit stone, the magic stone contains the demon energy, which is the currency used by the demon clan.
However, since the Great War of Immortals and Demons 100,000 years ago, the demons have been driven out of the human world, and the things used by the demons have disappeared and become history.
For the demon cultivators who practice demonic skills, the magic stones containing pure demonic qi are a temptation that is difficult to refuse, it stands to reason that the magic stones, the currency used by the demon clan, are rare, and a demon cultivator in the foundation building period carries more than a dozen magic stones with him, which is also too abnormal!
After thinking about it carefully for a while, Wang Changsheng really couldn't understand the reason, so he gave up, turned over and took out a jade slip and put it in the center of his eyebrows, and checked the contents inside.
The content of this jade slip is the formation, and the names, characteristics and layout methods of some common formations are introduced.
Wang Changsheng now plans to practice the drawing of the formation runes, and unlike other runes, drawing the formation runes requires a certain understanding of the formation method, otherwise it is difficult to draw the formation runes.
Speaking of which, the array talisman helped Wang Changsheng tide over the difficulties many times, but before that, the array talisman in Wang Changsheng's hand was changed with Liu Ru, and now that Liu Ru is dead, he can only speed up the pace to learn the drawing of the array talisman.
······
In the hall of the Patriarch Hall, an old man in a yellow robe sat in the first place, with a solemn expression, Mo Wentian stood aside with a serious face, and on the chairs on the left and right sides of the old man in the yellow robe, there were more than a dozen middle-aged men and women, without exception, the expressions of these people were very solemn.
"Senior Uncle Huang, Senior Brother in Charge, it's the Demon Clan who is killing in the Demon Sealing Secret Realm, is it impossible?" a middle-aged Daoist aunt frowned and said in disbelief.
"Yes, doesn't it mean that after the Great War of Immortals and Demons 100,000 years ago, the demons have been expelled from the human realm? The last time the demons appeared was thousands of years ago, could it be said that there are demons who have been stranded in the human realm?" A middle-aged man with a resolute face nodded, and said with some doubts.
Mo Wentian listened to the words of the two, nodded, and said in a deep voice: " According to the analysis of Liu Shibo, the style of the painting axis is a style that prevailed in ancient times, according to the analysis of Liu Shibo, according to the analysis of Liu Shibo, there may be a cave left by the demon clan in the secret territory of the seal, or the body of a high-level demon is destroyed, and the original god is attached to the painting scroll and temporarily stored in the cave, it just so happens that the disciple of this sect has no intention of discovering this cave, and entering the cave is accidentally taken away by this person。 ”
"What? The cave left over from the demons in ancient times?"
Hearing this, everyone's faces changed, and they didn't quite believe it.
"I don't know what this has to do with the senior brother in charge calling us here?" asked the middle-aged Dao Gu with a frown.
Mo Wentian turned around and set his eyes on the yellow-robed old man.
Seeing this, others also focused their eyes on the yellow-robed old man.
"I discussed with a few of your masters, the Demon Sealing Secret Realm is the foundation of this sect's inheritance to this day, and there is no room for any potential threats, we decided to send you to lower your cultivation to enter the secret realm, and see if there is a cave left by the demons in the ancient period in the secret realm, as Senior Brother Liu said, if there is, it will be destroyed, and if not, forget it," the yellow-robed old man raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice.
"What, lower your cultivation to enter the secret realm?"
"Destroy the cave left behind by the demons?"
Hearing this, everyone's faces changed, and their expressions were a little hesitant, the Demon Sealing Secret Realm has strict restrictions on personal cultivation, even if they are monks in the Yudan period, if they lower their cultivation to enter the secret realm, the strength they can exert is limited, in case they really encounter the demons of the ancient period, maybe they will have to worry about their lives, they don't want to take risks.
"Uncle Huang, just send some disciples in! there's no need for us to make a trip ourselves!"
"Even if you lower your cultivation, your strength is far from being comparable to those disciples, as long as you are not left alone, there should be no danger, of course, you will not be allowed to run in vain, your harvest in the secret realm, you can leave one-third, in addition, the person who finds the Demon Cave Mansion will have another reward, in a word, even if it is three feet into the ground, the Demon Cave Mansion hidden in the secret territory must be found and destroyed," the old man in the yellow robe said in a cold voice.
Seeing this, even though everyone was reluctant in their hearts, it was not good to say anything more.
"Since several masters have orders, the disciples obey the orders, and I don't know when to enter the secret realm," a black-faced man rolled his eyes and asked.
"Three days later, in the meantime, you should be prepared to put down anything first, and then talk about it when it is over at this time," the yellow-robed old man commanded in a tone that could not be refused.
Next, everyone discussed the details of entering the secret realm, and only left the ancestral hall after half an hour.
······
Inside the Demon Sealing Tower, a secret secret room.
This secret room is more than 100 zhang wide, there is a large cyan stone table in the middle, ten noodles vertical carvings criss-cross, it is actually a chessboard, black and white chess pieces are all over the stone table.
On both sides of the chessboard, there is a man and a woman sitting there holding a black and white son plate, the male is a white and fat, fat head and big ears, wearing a brocade robe with a round face, about 50 years old, and the female is a middle-aged beautiful woman with beautiful facial features and wearing a white palace dress.
"Senior Uncle Shangguan, Senior Aunt Song, the disciple has brought Senior Brother Li here, and I also ask Senior Uncle and Senior Aunt to command," a very respectful voice came from outside the secret room.
Hearing this, the middle-aged beautiful woman's sleeves flicked, and with a "bang", a stone door not far away automatically opened, and an old man in gray with a wrinkled face and an old man in white robe with a mustache walked in.
"Disciple to meet Master Shangguan and Aunt Song," the old man in gray and the old man in white robe bowed and said respectfully.
The round-faced old man nodded, and said calmly: "Senior nephew Li, if I'm not mistaken, you have been a beginner for more than four hundred years!"
"Yes," the white-robed old man raised his eyebrows and nodded, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.
"Then let me ask you, what is the fifth of the nine precepts of this sect?" The round-faced old man put down the chess pieces in his hand, turned his head, looked at the white-robed old man, and said calmly.
"You must not practice exercises that are not on the right path, especially the exercises left over from the ancient demon clan, and those who violate them will be killed," At the end, a trace of panic flashed in the eyes of the white-robed old man, and a layer of fine sweat oozed from his face.
"Then let me ask you again, Xiong Li of the Xuanfu First Vein is recommended by you to enter the Demon Sealing Secret Realm?" the round-faced old man nodded, and then asked.
"Yes," the white-robed old man replied, looking a little flustered.
"Are you asking him to open the cave left by the ancient demons?" said the middle-aged beautiful woman's face sank, and she said in a cold voice.
"The cave mansion left by the ancient demon clan?" When the white-robed old man heard this, his face changed, and he hurriedly explained: "The disciple didn't, the disciple just asked him to go to the underground of the Tianxue Mountain Range to pick a snow flower, and didn't let him open the cave left by the ancient demon clan?"
When the round-faced old man heard this, he chuckled, and then asked, "Is this really the case?" If I'm not mistaken, more than ten years ago, you were still in the middle stage of the Dan Festival, and you were promoted to the late stage of the Dan after not seeing you for more than ten years, and you usually stay in the Demon Sealing Tower, where did you get the opportunity to advance to the late stage of the Dan?"
"The disciple just broke through to the late stage of the Yudan, and there was no chance," the white-robed old man said, but a flash of panic flashed in his eyes.
"Yes, some people say that you are communicating with the demon imprisoned in the Demon Sealing Tower in private, is there such a thing?" the middle-aged beautiful woman sneered and asked in a deep voice.
"Disciple ······" The white-robed old man's face changed, and before he finished speaking, a resolute look flashed in his eyes, his sleeves shook, and two palm-sized silver wheels flashed out, turning into two silver rays of light and shooting towards the round-faced old man and the middle-aged beauty.
"Hmph, death is not repentant," the round-faced old man snorted lightly, opened his mouth and spewed out a small red shield, the small red shield rose in the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it rose to the size of several zhang, blocking the two of them.
"Bang" and "bang" sounded, and two silver lights slammed into the red shield, leaving no scars.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the white-robed old man turned around and turned into a black gas and ran towards the stone gate, only to reach the stone gate in a flash, and he was about to rush out of the secret room.
At this moment, with a "bang", the stone door closed automatically, and dense silver runes appeared on the surface, which looked very mysterious.
The white-robed old man's eyes flashed, and he opened his mouth to spew out a small silver sword that was a foot long, hitting the stone door.
With a "bang", the place where it was hit by the small silver sword left a faint white mark.
Seeing this situation, the white-robed old man's eyes panicked, before he could attack a second time, the void above his head fluctuated, and a big red hand the size of several zhang appeared out of thin air, quickly grabbing the white-robed old man below.
The speed of the big red hand was extremely fast, and the old man in the white robe was grabbed by the big red hand before he could react otherwise.
With a miserable scream, the breath of the white-robed old man quickly withered, and a little blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
"The disciple knows that he is wrong, and he still hopes that the master will spare his life, but the disciple will not dare anymore, the disciple will do such a stupid thing because he mistakenly believes the demon's fallacy, and I hope that the master of Shangguan will spare the disciple's life for the sake of the disciple's dead master," Bai Pao saw this, and hurriedly begged for mercy loudly.
"Hmph, you still have the face to mention your master, your master died tragically in the hands of the demon monk, you still dare to practice demon skills, do you know that because you are greedy for life and afraid of death, you almost destroyed the foundation of this sect?" The round-faced old man snorted lightly and scolded loudly.
"I wanted to spare your life, but you deceived us again and again, and you really couldn't leave you behind," the middle-aged beauty sneered.
Hearing this, the white-robed old man showed a look of despair, and after a flash of fierceness in his eyes, he said with a hideous expression: "Hehe, greedy for life and afraid of death? How much suffering have I suffered, how many temptations I have rejected to get to where I am today, I don't have much life, if I don't change my cultivation of demonic skills, I will become a pile of dry bones in a few decades, what about the Demon Dao? As long as I can condense the Yuan Infant, I will take care of his precepts······
Before the white-robed old man's words were finished, the big red hand exerted force, and with a miserable scream, the body of the white-robed old man was crushed by the big red hand, and the red blood flowed all over the ground.
As soon as the white-robed old man died, the two silver wheels lost control and fell to the ground.
Seeing the bloody corpse of the white-robed old man, the gray-robed old man sighed, shook his head, and didn't say anything more.
The round-faced old man's sleeves flickered, the red shield shrank rapidly, disappeared into his body, and said to the gray-clothed old man: "Senior nephew Wei, you go back and select an elder from the sect to fill the position of senior nephew Li, I hope you will take this as a warning, don't believe the devil's rumors, otherwise Senior nephew Li will be a lesson for you." ”
"By the way, remind the master, the cave left by the demon clan is very likely to be under the Tianxue Mountain Range, of course, other places can't be spared," the middle-aged beautiful woman seemed to remember something and added.
"Yes, the disciple understands that if there are no other instructions, the disciple will retreat," the gray-clothed old man nodded and replied respectfully.
"Let's go down! By the way, dispose of Senior Nephew Li's body, by the way, it will be said to the outside world that Senior Nephew Li died violently in practice, so don't pursue his descendants anymore," the round-faced old man waved his hand and commanded.
"Disciple understands," the gray-clothed old man nodded, searched for a storage bag from the white-robed old man's body, and then released a fireball to burn the white corpse, and then walked out quickly.
"I didn't expect that there is a cave left by the ancient demon clan in the secret territory of the Sealed Demons, it's really incredible," after the gray-clothed old man left, the middle-aged beautiful woman sighed.
"Yes, who would have thought that since the establishment of this sect, there is a cave left by the ancient demon clan in the secret realm, fortunately, this demon has been destroyed, if this person is allowed to escape from the secret realm, maybe it will cause a lot of chaos in the Great Song Dynasty Immortal Cultivation Realm," the round-faced old man nodded, and said with some luck.
"The two of us are ordered to guard here, if a demon escapes from the Demon Sealing Tower, you and I will not be able to escape the blame, and in the future, we will be more strict in the selection of disciples who enter the Demon Sealing Tower and the secret realm," the middle-aged beautiful woman suggested.
"By the way, the two disciples who killed the demon should be rewarded heavily, although the cultivation of the demon is limited to the foundation building period by the prohibition of the secret realm, but if they can kill this demon, those two disciples can be regarded as having some ability, and they should be rewarded," the round-faced old man seemed to think of something, and said with a smile.
"Yes, these two disciples are less than forty years old and have already cultivated to the late stage of foundation building, and it is also worth cultivating well, Senior Nephew Murong is the descendant of Senior Brother Murong, there is no shortage of general things, I will give her my sword cultivation experience, as for that Senior Nephew Wang, I heard that he is very interested in the art of Fu Seal, so let Senior Brother Fu guide him through some Fu Seal Techniques!" The middle-aged beautiful woman nodded and said slowly.
"That's a good proposal, I'll tell him when the head of the family comes over!" The round-faced old man agreed.
