Chapter 246: No Time in the Mountains (1)
The Sealed Demon Ridge of Shu Mountain does not know how many thousands of feet from the depths of the belly under the earth to the sea of clouds. The mountain peaks that emerge from the ethereal sea are like an isolated island, and the island is surrounded by an unfathomable abyss on all sides. Other mountains, birds and birds all go around the ridge, and only a narrow bridge with a hundred zhang long knife tip is connected to the outside world.
Although they are connected, this bridge is not designed for communication. I hearsay that this bridge is a heaven and earth creation, which can be used as a spiritual chalcedony of high-grade flying sword materials, and the predecessors of the Sword Sect moved to build a bridge as a punishment to punish the bound demons. The tortured person will ban Zhenyuan, walk the hard road of the knife mountain as sharp as a flying sword, and then enter the town demon tower to be detained. If the victim's body could not withstand it while walking, it would be cut in two by the knife in an instant, and the corpse would fall into the Netherworld Valley under the sea of clouds. Hundreds of years later, this kind of torture is rarely used, and the mountain road is used by the Dao Fetal Gate people to test the depth of Yuan Gong.
The one-foot-high tower on the top of the mountain occupies one-third of the isolated island, but it is not what ordinary people think of as a tall tower. If Xiao Longyuan's one-foot tall tower is a cascading lotus platform gushing out from the bottom of the sea, then the one-foot-high tower is a huge alien iron ancient tree that is based on the entire Sealing Demon Ridge and penetrates deep into the heart of the earth. Countless copper branches as thick as a dragon face the sky, and there are branched twigs and large copper leaf leaves between the branches, as if a large net covering the mountain peaks is cast, making the island in the clouds always dim.
Wooden houses have been erected on the branches, or holes have been dug between the branches, and there are a series of vermilion fruits of different shades dotted among the ancient trees like stars, reflecting the light like bright lights, and the fragrance of vermilion fruits also wafts among the ancient trees.
"This fairy fruit is picked by a special person every year, and the original brother must not be reckless. Fan had no explanation.
- Naturally, I won't touch their Sword Sect's private property.
"I don't know where the old demon trolls in the tower are. After that, I live in a tree, what will hinder your sect from taking in demons?"
"The one-foot-high tower is rooted in the Sealing Demon Ridge, and it leads from the mountain to the Yellow Spring Nine Shadows in the depths of the earth. Brother Yuan could see that there was a gate as big as a cave under the main trunk of this giant tree, and from there there was a prison for the collection of demons and evil spirits, and Elder Lao Qian, who was guarding the town, used the tower to dispatch endless Nine Heavens Spiritual Qi and Earth True Yuan to suppress it. Without the power to open up the wilderness, they will never be able to come out from below. ”
Since May 6 of the second year of Zhengtai, I have lived in a tree hole above the demon tower in Fengmoling Town, Shushan. Normally, I only saw four Sword Sect Jin Dan who guarded the tower in and out of the Demon Suppression Tower, and no outsiders came to visit the Sealing Demon Ridge. Even the Kunlun Sect seems to have disappeared from this world, and there is no longer a messenger paper crane for me.
I was completely cut off from the outside world.
The cultivation of the four people in this Demon Ridge is above the upper level of Jindan, and the cave where they stop is not far from me. Mo Yubing, who is the strongest in cultivation, lives in the tree hole opposite me, and I think it is an extraordinary measure that the Sword Sect is afraid of if I fall into the devil.
The four members of the Sword Sect who lived in the same tree as me were never present at the same time, usually the two of them went to the Demon Suppression Tower, and the two of them were outside the Demon Suppression Tower, and one of them never took half a step away from me. Among the four people, Mo Yubing is the least common, nine out of ten days she actually spent time in the Demon Suppression Tower, every time she went out of the tower, this person's true yuan was a little thicker than the previous meeting, I don't know what the mystery is.
Mo Yubing is not talkative, not to mention that he has always looked at me coldly. I didn't bother with her. For months, we didn't even touch each other's thoughts. But in the past few months, I have been familiar with the other three people - these three marginal people are almost isolated from the outside of the mountain, Tang Weiyang's affairs have little to do with them, and we are the only living creatures in this ghost place, and we are naturally kind to me who has a heart for a long time.
Sword Sect Dao Jin Dan Xu Shaoji is actually the head of the Lingshang general affairs, Lao Qian's closed disciple, the schedule and instructions are issued by him, this person is a deep person, joy and anger are not good; the disciple called Mao Ji is clever and changeable, his master thinks he is too smart, deliberately sent to this barren mountain to sharpen; the other Wan Qichang is more cowardly, the master died early, and he was sent to the mountain very proudly.
"Yuan Jiankong, I haven't seen you cultivate in the past few months, and you just wander around in our Sealing Demon Ridge, do you want to sneak out of our Shu Mountain? Hehe, that's impossible-the eight-hundred-mile mountain range is covered with a one-foot tower with a high Dao. ”
One day in September, I went down alone to the foot of the Sealed Demon Ridge under the sea of clouds, deep and without daylight. But at a quarter of an hour, Mao Ji and Wan Qichang, who were staring, immediately followed.
"I have reached the peak of Jindan, and one step further is to cross the small tribulation for Jin Yuanying, which is not an ordinary accumulation of Yuan Gong. But I have to take my sect's reincarnation elixir every day to put the three corpse gods to sleep, if I step into the deep concentration of unknown years, I am afraid that they will suddenly wake up and steal their bodies, causing great trouble to the monarchs. Thinking about it, instead of sitting on the tree, it is better to look at the scenery of Guishan and exercise your body by the way. ”
I explained pleasantly, and then distributed dozens of Yellow Bud Pills from the gourd given to me by Wen Hou to Mao Ji and Wan Qichang.
"When I practiced the sword just now, the Silver Snake Sword shaved off a forest in the middle of the mountain, and I hope Senior Brother Mao will forgive me. ”
In the Sealing Demon Ridge, there is a bare and barren ravine of dozens of zhang and dozens of zhang, and it is indeed the prohibition of this forbidden land that I use the silver snake sword to test it. I'm no longer at the mercy of the sword leveling a hill now, but when I tried it just now, I always felt that the power of the Seven Turns Thunder Sword couldn't touch the root of this mountain.
"I vomit when I look at this barren mountain and evil ridge, you just don't care if you cut it all!"
Mao Ji sniffed at the Huang Yadan that I bribed him, and the topic changed, and he was envious,
"Brother Yuan is really generous, you Kunlun have a lot of pills, and the quality is good. Our Sword Sect's refining of the pill is really inferior, and the only thing that we can really rely on to accumulate Yuan Gong is the Danxin Sword Technique created by many ancestors of our sect. In the same year of cultivation, the depth of Yuan Gong is far inferior to yours. ”
Wan Qichang carefully put away Huang Ya Dan while praising it,
"With these many high-grade Huang Ya Dan, why bother accumulating Yuan Gong, even if you go down the mountain to chase down the evil demons, you also have the power to continue the war incredibly. ”
"Taking the yellow buds does save the accumulation of Yuan Gong, but when it is refined, it also requires the trouble of collecting spiritual grass materials, and it also requires intensive research on the method of transferring furnace fire in order to produce high-grade color, and the hard time spent may not be much less than the cultivation of your sect's inner Dan heart formula. What's more, only taking pills lacks mood tempering. Our Kunlun people are thick, and there are countless people who can't go upstairs when they are stuck. Your sect's method is based on only one person and one sword, and it is the most convenient and powerful method in the world. ”
My praise made Mao Ji and Wan Qichang happy. But it's not that I'm trying to fool their Sword Sect - Kunlun is the thickest but slowest sect of the four sects, or because of this, I found a different way to establish the Lei Fa General Compendium in my previous life, the Sword Sect is the opposite of us, and this is all due to the difference in our Dharma interests. My sect's "Shangqing Canon" is to make up for the shortcomings of the Waidan furnace fire method, like the wings of a bird. But our Kunlun top Jin Dan is still less than the Sword Sect. Even though the Sword Sect has lost its disciples one after another in recent years, even these marginal people still have proud cultivation, and their successful disciples have emerged one after another, which is not simply explained by the outstanding spirits of the Middle-earthers.
"Our mental methods are advancing rapidly, but we are also going crazy. It's good to go off and die, life is a dream. If you fall into the devil, you will be killed by the Demon Courtyard and the Discipline Academy, and even your reputation will stink. On the contrary, it is your sect, whether the immortal cultivation is not cultivated is another matter, and it is the great good to be at ease and peaceful. ”
Mao Ji said a few polite words and said with a smile,
"I'll keep this elixir. Don't rely on it, only use it as a tool, after all, it is still very convenient for the enemy and self-cultivation. ”
Wan Qichang also agreed.
After thinking about it, I handed over the two copies of Huang Ya Dan to Mao Ji, "Please also give these two copies to Senior Brother Xu Shaoji and Senior Sister Mo Yubing, and talk about my gratitude for your care over the past few months." ”
Maugie put one away and divided the other into three smaller portions. A small portion was distributed to Wan Qichang, a small portion was collected by himself, and another small portion was saved in succession. He said,
"Senior Brother Xu talked to us privately, and he also felt that Brother Yuan was a good person who could be befriended. But Senior Sister Mo is a difficult person to get along with, unlike us. It is possible for her to feed the dog with this Huang Ya Dan, so there is no need to keep it for her. ”
Wan Qichang carefully added,
"Brother Yuan, don't tell Senior Sister Mo about this. ”
Mao Ji smiled, "Brother Yuan is an interesting person, how can he talk nonsense." ”
I originally knew that Mo Yubing was unpopular in the Sword Sect, but I didn't expect it to be so bad,
"She is on the list of mountains and rivers, he is infantile, and the two of them can't pestle her at least on the face. ”
Wan Qichang sighed,
"Senior Sister Mo is not only Yuanying, but the middle level of Yuanying is almost ironclad. But what does this have to do with us. We stammered, but she didn't know how to support us, just as we were creatures on the other side, and didn't care at all. - The privileges she has to cultivate in the tower are things we never dreamed of. Oh, they are all born people, and what else do you want to divide between you and me. ”
There is actually a cultivation dojo in the Demon Suppression Tower! I had a flash of inspiration, as if I had caught something valuable, and asked quietly,
"They are both from the Sword Sect, why don't the two of you go to the dojo in the Demon Suppression Tower to cultivate?"
Mao Ji shook his head and smiled bitterly,
"I'm looked down upon. Mu Zhenren confessed that Senior Sister Mo was valued by the sect and the main force of the expedition to Dark Cloud City, so she asked Teacher Lao Qian to lend Taxin Prison to her for cultivation. Listening to Senior Brother Xu, she has reached the sixty-first floor of the tower alone in the past few months. ”
"How many levels of prison are there in the tower?"
"We don't know. It's just that there are big monsters on each floor under the sixty floors, and generally one monster occupies one layer exclusively, and the powerful thing is that it occupies four or five floors of towers. ”
Wan replied.
Suddenly, Mao Ji frowned, and beckoned to us, "Hell, Ta Ling informed us that there was a demon sneaking in from the northern foothills of the Sealed Demon Ridge, how did it get the mountaineering talisman?" Wan Qi, come with me to take a look. ”
"I'm also going with the two senior brothers, so I can help in a hurry. ”
I say.
