Chapter 51: The Secret (Part II)
"In that case, you found out as soon as we entered the secret realm, right?" Bai Ya asked thoughtfully. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Yes, the forbidden land of Baolang is only within a radius of thousands of miles, and our clan has been in business for more than two thousand years, and every grass and tree is under control. Bank of China Gu Fuxu sighed, "Although the population of our clan has shrunk dramatically in the past few hundred years, because we have learned the art of controlling spirits, we can still monitor the secret realm with the help of free-range ghosts......"
"No wonder I didn't encounter too many ghosts outside......" Bai Ya came to his senses.
"In our eyes, there is no secret about the whereabouts of outsiders, except that they themselves fight each other, and the ghosts in the secret realm are at most mischievous, and they will not hurt people's lives. Bank of China Gu paused, narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Xiaoyou, do you remember the ghost head you met a few days ago?"
"Is it that ghost thing as big as a castle?" Bai Ya was startled and asked curiously, "This is also raised by the Zhongxing clan?"
"Yes, that one is an old ancestor in terms of seniority......," the old man laughed, "and it's just a joke on you, and you don't have to care." ”
"That'...... What about the traps we encountered when we entered the Bolang Pavilion?"
"Didn't Xiaoyou get here safely and sound?" Zhongxing Gu smiled mysteriously, "If we had malicious intentions, the stone gate of the Yongdao Road wouldn't have stopped halfway, right?"
"It turned out that you made the ghost, and the juniors thought they were going to die!" Bai Ya shook his head with a smile.
He knew in his heart why the Zhongxing clan didn't find him immediately, but instead used so many little tricks. This is all a necessary temptation, after all, people have been shrinking in the secret realm for so long, and it is related to the safety of the whole clan, so they naturally have to act cautiously.
They came in from the outside, and there was definitely a danger, but the intensity was suppressed. Now that I think about it, there is still room for a situation that looks like death, and it can be passed if you think of a way.
"Little friend, don't be surprised, the spies of our clan in the outside world can only send news in once in more than 100 years, and it is not too detailed, so the warriors who enter the secret realm this time must identify their identities and martial arts realms one by one, so they have artificially set up some small means of temptation. Bank of China said apologetically.
"Do you still have spies out there?" Bai Ya asked with a raised eyebrow, puzzled.
"Don't hide it from Xiaoyou, this is naturally there, but every time the crust changes, the contact will be lost, so the news sent back is limited, and the entrance of the secret realm is relatively far from the surface, and there are many brute beasts to be cleaned up in the middle, and one of the ten people sent out may not reach the surface, let alone send the materials back, otherwise, ......" Zhongxing Gu sighed again.
At this time, all the doubts of the White Cliff were slowly solved, and the Bank of China clan tried their best to get through the connection with the outside world, but due to the movement of the earth's crust, this connection was too weak, and there was no way to maintain the yin and yang balance of the secret realm by transporting a large number of materials, so in the end they had to consider moving to the station.
There have been more than a dozen opportunities for more than a thousand years, and they have dragged their feet, so it's no wonder that they have become like this.
"In fact, in the last hundred years, the maps and coordinates of the secret realm in the hands of those treasure hunters were deliberately transmitted by us, but it took too long for our clan to open up the path, and the frequency of earthquakes in the later period was high, so it was impossible to migrate again. ”
Bank of China Gu smiled bitterly, "Fortunately, this time the earth's crust changes are not too outrageous, and the path is quickly opened, which can be said to be the best time in a thousand years, and the Bank of China clan can't drag it on." ”
"Then what exactly are the seniors going to do?" asked Bai Ya cautiously.
Although the Zhongxing clan is willing to protect Qingcheng, it is obvious that they will not hang themselves on a tree. In case the great sect fails, there will definitely be plan B and plan C, and this is what Bai Ya asked.
Although this kind of question is a bit abrupt, Bank of China Gu still has no intention of hiding it, because it is no longer necessary.
"It's not a secret, when the underground dock was opened this time, because the path was opened smoothly, the old man had sent out all the young juniors in the clan pretending to be treasure hunters, and now there are only some old guys left in the secret realm. ”
Bank of China Gu smiled indifferently, "If you can successfully protect a certain big sect, the old man will naturally gather them." If not, then let them remain incognito and leave the last trace of blood for the Zhongxing clan.
It's just that in this way, the old decay will definitely seal the original spatial rift, intercept and kill all intruders, and will not let outsiders take away a single grass and tree in the secret realm. When the old man said this, he finally lost the smile on his face.
If it comes to this point, the Zhongxing clan as a whole will really die out.
The incognito descendants will live as ordinary people, although they still have some martial arts inheritances left in their hands, but without cultivation resources to support them, these inheritances will inevitably be lost over time.
Bai Ya was secretly surprised when he heard it, but he didn't question Zhongxing Gu's words. If the old man hadn't lied before, Bai Ya believed that he could do it.
Based on what he saw and heard in Baolang Pavilion, Bai Ya guessed that there should not be too many remaining clansmen of the Zhongxing Clan, after all, even the Well of Earth Fire had dried up, and there were at most a thousand people left.
It is a miracle that there is an innate powerhouse among the thousands of people, maybe there is only one innate powerhouse in the Zhongxing clan, and it is possible that he can use the special environment of the secret realm to forcibly promote him.
However, there are so many ghosts in the Secret Realm of Extravagant Corpses, many of which are of the innate level, which are also not easy to deal with.
No wonder the big ghost head before wanted to come out and show his face, don't look at the old fox in front of him and say that it was a prank, people deliberately showed their muscles in front of him, indicating that the Zhongxing clan has the strength to break the net.
If the local Xianwu Sect in Bingzhou really wants to forcibly attack the secret realm, not to mention the old fox Gu in Zhongxing, Bai Ya can come up with many ways to trap them. If those Immortal Martial Sects are unwilling to lose too much, it will be no problem to drag on here for decades.
When the time comes, when the crust is active again, the secret realm of the extravagant corpse will disappear, and the local Immortal Martial Sect will definitely find nothing.
Thinking about it this way, the plan of the Zhongxing clan to protect Qingcheng should be feasible, as long as the local Xianwu sect clarifies the stakes, it is estimated that the Zhongxing clan will get out of the way, so as to leave the secret realm intact.
"In this way, the seniors have already made calculations, but I don't know how the seniors will convince the teachers below?" asked Bai Ya with great interest.
Bank of China Gu's plan is really good, and the only difficulty is in Qingcheng. Since Qingcheng is destined not to get the Secret Realm of Extravagant Corpses, what price does the Zhongxing clan have to pay to convince Qingcheng to protect them!
"Little friend, please look!" Bank of China Gu smiled mysteriously, and took out a piece of pink jade from his sleeve and threw it to Bai Ya.
"What is this?" Bai Ya looked at the "jade" in his hand curiously.
This thing looked like jade on the outside, but when he put it in the palm of his hand, he could actually feel a trace of hot and cold breath constantly seeping into his skin, and the pores on the back of his hand and forearm involuntarily stood up.
It's a strange feeling, it's cold when it hits the skin, but it gets hot when it seeps into the body.
"Whoosh~" Suddenly, a black shadow swept over Bai Ya's neckline, and he saw the Dao Infant Peach Doll running along his arm, and hugged the jade at once, and his whole body was stuck to it and refused to move, and he used his mouth to gnaw on the jade.
"Come down, come down...... Ahem, the seniors smiled!"
It grabbed it tightly, and Bai Ya didn't pull it off a few times, and couldn't help but laugh a little embarrassed.
"Hehe, this little thing is quite clever, and this thing is indeed very tempting to it. The old man folded his sleeves, narrowed his eyes and smiled.
"Senior, what is this?" asked Bai Ya curiously.
"Before you entered the 'Market City', did you ever see an octagonal well in the front yard?" Zhongxing Gu asked with a smile.
"That's right, Brother Ouyang said that the well was connected to the secret realm fire, but it has dried up now!" Bai Ya nodded and said.
"Oh, that person has some insight!" said Bank of China Gu with a raised white eyebrow and some surprise.
After Ouyang entered the secret realm, there was no one else around him. Later, I met Bai Ya and Lian Xiao, although the two knew that he was a disciple of the Shi family, but they did not declare it, so the Zhongxing clan never knew that he was a disciple of the Shi family.
"According to the records of the clan, when our clan first moved into the secret realm, in order to one day counterattack and annex the state, so we did everything possible to encourage childbearing, and in just a few hundred years, the population swelled to an incredible extent. ”
Bank of China Gu smiled bitterly and sighed, "Now that I think about it, how stupid this is, if I have ruined the last place of survival." ”
"Originally, according to the situation at that time, the yin and yang in the secret realm were out of balance, and they would soon be unable to survive, but there was a talented array mage in the clan, who led the clan to dig out the well of earth fire, and used the formation to extract the power of earth fire to balance the yin qi in the secret realm, so that my clan can continue to this day. ”
"However, after all, this method is to drink water to quench thirst, and the power of earth and fire will be exhausted after eight hundred years, and in the following days, we can only rely on the resources accumulated over the years, and the population will slowly shrink......
Bank of China Gu said in a trance, "However, after the earth fire was exhausted, the original earth veins were infiltrated by the external yin qi, and they actually slowly turned into something else......"
"Is it the jade in the hands of the juniors?" Bai Ya asked in surprise.
"Yes, it's just that this thing has nothing to do with jade, it is produced by combining the residual power of earth fire in the leylines with the Yin attribute vitality. Bank of China Gu said with a strange expression, "Now after thousands of years of transformation, all the secret realm veins have become this kind of thing, we call it Yin Fire Earth Marrow!"
"Yin Fire Earth Marrow?" Bai Ya had never heard of such a thing, so he had to ask again, "What is the purpose of this thing?"
"The Yin Fire Earth Marrow has many functions, and if it is used roughly, it can be used as an energy crystal for the magic circle and the teleportation array. Because it has the characteristics of earth fire, it can also be used as an additive when refining weapons, which helps to improve the quality of weapons and magic weapons.
In addition, it fuses yin energy, which can be eaten by ghosts, and the earth fire in it will make the spirit body dye a trace of yang energy, which is similar to the Taoist Taoist baby. And ......"
Bank of China Gu talked leisurely, while Bai Ya was already stunned, looking at the pink jade in his hand, and complained wildly in his heart.
"Clean, universal energy...... Damn, this is simply the Shenzhou version of the Philosopher's Stone!"
