Chapter Ninety-Seven: Black Wind Fortress
The spaceship flew all the way to the Black Wind Fortress in the northwest direction, and along the way were majestic mountains and valleys, the mountains here were towering and steep, and some peaks were even as high as 10,000 feet, and even the spaceship flew halfway up the mountain, which was a complete view of the entire peak.
This is all part of the Guardian Mountain Range, and the place where the Fire Gate is located used to be a place where monsters are rampant in the Guardian Mountain, and for thousands of years, the pace of human development and occupation of these spiritual mountains and spiritual peaks has never stopped, and the monk is the vanguard among these people. Many sects and families that could not gain a foothold elsewhere were the main force among them, looking for places with spiritual veins or spiritual energy gathering in these remote places to establish their own foundations.
Due to the frequent activities of human beings in these areas, monsters have gradually become scarce, or they have taken refuge in the depths of the mountains, but the pace of human beings has not stopped, and they continue to advance deeper into the mountains and forests, opening up their own living space and plundering various resources that are sleeping. The Black Wind Fortress is a nail inserted into the demon beast area, which was jointly established by several sects such as the Lihuo Gate, which is used to block the demon beasts from the northeast and protect the newly built Terran territory and mining area, and it is also the main source of spirit stones for several sects, which can be said to be their lifeblood.
The geographical location of the Black Wind Fortress is so important, several sects have long had an agreement, dividing the fortress into several fortresses, guarded by several disciples of various factions, stipulating that the number of people stationed here every year must not be reduced, and the combat power of the monks must be guaranteed, as for how to deploy it, it is a matter for their respective sects.
The Lihuo Gate adopts a rotation system, all of which are rotated by the disciples of the sect, with an interval of one year each time, and one-third of the monks are replaced every year, and the rotation is completed after three years, which not only ensures the continuity of the guards, but also trains some disciples. However, the disciples who come here to serve as garrison tasks generally have some ways, because the reward for this task is very high, there are ten spirit stones and a bottle of pills every month, and there will be demon hunting tasks from time to time, if you do it well, the harvest is much greater than in the sect.
Therefore, this task was not hung on the task board, but was recommended by the deacons and stewards in the sect to participate, and the dialect also got this opportunity because of Zong Hai, otherwise where would it be his turn to get an outer disciple without any background.
Two days later, the ship landed slowly in the middle of a mountain and stopped on the shore of a lake surrounded by greenery. Fang Yan and the others came out of the spaceship, and not far away, several people dressed in the costumes of the disciples of the Fire Gate came up.
This spaceship carried a total of more than 300 people, including more than 100 disciples from the Fire Gate, and the rest were servants and family members, led by a deacon in the foundation building period, with white hair and thin body but strong spirits. Several disciples hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute, and the elderly deacon waved his hand, asked them a few simple questions, and asked them to lead the way, and the monks followed.
This is not the location of the Black Wind Fortress, but the camp of the Fire Gate monks not far from the fortress, and it is also the place where the monks stationed in the fortress settle down. The Black Wind Fortress is located in a mountain pass a hundred miles away, and it is composed of five strong fortresses, each sect guards one of them, and the five fortresses complement each other as horns, and the design is exquisite and the protection is very tight.
The location of this fortress is very special, it is stuck in the path that the monsters must take to enter this area, and in order to facilitate defense, the fortress is built in a pass, all the facilities are related to defense, and the monks' accommodation is very crowded and simple. Therefore, unless there is a big battle, the monks stationed in the fortress can leave the fortress and return to the camp opened by their respective sects to rest or cultivate, as long as they are not on duty.
The camp has been built for thousands of years, and there are many buildings in it, including the camp stewardship, the residence and trading place of the monks, and a building for issuing missions. A loft pavilion or built in the mountains, or built on the lake, are very elegant and concise, people are comfortable, in this vast mountain, there is no such a good place to go.
Everyone followed to a four-story attic, which was the steward's pavilion set up by the sect in the camp, mainly to register the identity of the stationed disciples and assign everyone's residence. More than 100 disciples on duty walked in, and the servants and their families were waiting outside the door, and the dialects and others inside quickly completed the registration, but they just took the identity card to record it, just like receiving the task in the Hall of Merit.
The next thing is to allocate a residence, the lake is only qualified to live by the deacons and inner disciples, dialect they are the outer disciples, can only live in the back mountain or the nearby mountains, those places already have many disciples lived, can only choose to vacate the residence, or choose a place within the camp to build themselves.
Several stewards dressed in white asked everyone to wait in the hall on the first floor, first took a few inner disciples up to the second floor to choose a residence, and then called a few disciples to go up after a stick of incense. After a dozen stewards and inner disciples had settled down, it was the turn of the outer disciples, and under the summons of several stewards, they went upstairs in turn to choose a place to live.
When it was the turn of the dialect, they all waited for almost an hour, and most of the disciples who came this time cultivated to the sixth and seventh layers, and there were only twenty or thirty people like the dialect who were only on the fifth level of the qi refining period, and the arrangement of accommodation was also according to the cultivation, and when the dialect came, there were only more than ten people left in the hall. Speaking of which, dialect is the first to be selected among the monks of the same rank, this is because Ji Ming is one of the several stewards here, and he is the one who accompanied Fang Yan to buy the gold-topped bamboo sun when he met Zong Hai.
Ji Ming winked at Fang Yan, beckoned him to go upstairs, and when he came to the second floor, Ji Ming said with a smile: "Senior brother is really a big face, and let that guy from Zonghai beg me, he doesn't like to ask for people the most." ”
Fang Yan hurriedly saluted, bowed down and said: "This is all taken care of by the two senior brothers, otherwise how can the junior brother have such an opportunity, in the future, Senior Brother Ji has orders, and the junior brother will definitely do his best." While speaking, Fang Yan stuffed a pot of good wine while people were unprepared, Ji Ming made a grimace at him, and put it in the bag, making Fang Yan smirk.
Only then did Ji Ming point to a huge map on the wall, and said in dialect: "This is the whole map of the camp, and all the marked places on it cannot be selected, there are already people living there, and other unmarked ones can be selected, but there are no good places anymore." Senior brother would like to recommend one for you, I heard that the senior brother is already a disciple of the spirit plant, you can choose a small peak on the northeast corner of the camp, and you can also plant some spirit plants in your spare time, but no one has ever lived there, you have to build your own house, I don't know what the junior brother wants?"
"There are such places, thank you for your advice, let the junior brother He. Fang Yan was overjoyed when he heard this, originally he didn't expect to have a large spiritual field for him to plant, as long as there were a few acres to plant some spiritual medicine, it would be good, who knew that there was such a big small peak for him, which immediately made him very happy.
Following what Ji Ming pointed out, there are several small peaks on the periphery of the dialect camp, the smaller ones are about a mile square, and the larger ones are only a few miles away, but if they are used to live and open up spiritual fields, it is very wide, and all the peaks add up to at least thousands of acres in size, even if only one percent can be used for planting, there are hundreds of acres, which is not small, larger than the small courtyard of the dialect.
At this time, Ji Ming said again: "But there is also a bad place here, that is, it is connected to the mountain peak outside the camp, and there may be some demon beasts and poisonous insects to come to make trouble, if the junior brother chooses here, there must be some protective measures, it is best to lay down a formation or set up a barrier, otherwise it will be a headache in the future." ”
"Senior Brother Ji reminded that before the junior brother came, he happened to buy a set of formations, and he could open up a small piece of spiritual field first, and then consider expanding the planting when he was familiar with it in the future. After the dialect, he immediately chose a mountain the size of a li, which was at the very edge of the camp, but there was lush vegetation, and there was a waterfall on the mountain, which solved the water source needed for the spiritual planting technique, and the dense jungle made Rong Mu Jue just the right place to use.
"That's okay, I'll help the junior brother delineate, but if the junior brother feels unsatisfactory in the future, you can also come to the brother and help you choose a piece, but don't force it." ”
Fang Yan suppressed the excitement in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Thank you so much, senior brother, senior brother chose here, I don't want to change it again." ”
Ji Ming nodded, and made a mark on this map, marking the entire Xiaofeng into it. Even if the residence is settled, Fang Yan is in a very comfortable mood, and he was forced to leave the small courtyard that he has worked so hard to manage, which has made him very depressed for the past few days, and now the haze in his heart has been swept away, and he has lost the small courtyard, and he will build another one here, in the end.
Fang Yan followed Ji Ming again, and registered his residence in a small room on the second floor, and that place would be his own in the future, and no one else could choose it unless he left by himself after three years. Then Fang Yan said goodbye to Ji Ming, came to the outside of the attic, took Li Fang with a flying sword, and Qingluan rode the green crane and slowly flew towards the peak.
The cultivation of the dialect is still a little low, and it is a little difficult to fly with only one person, but fortunately, this station is not large, but it will be a quarter of an hour. This mountain peak is very inconspicuous in the mountains, it is lower than the surrounding peaks, only more than 100 zhang high, the area is not large, the miles are round, the grass and trees on the mountain are luxuriant, everywhere is lush, and the towering giant trees of dozens of zhang high can be seen everywhere.
The dialect landed on the top of the mountain with them, and then flew up on their own, circling the mountain. The east and north sides of the mountain are connected to the outside world, while the southwest side is close to the monks' quarters in the camp, which come from here, although there are few households in the vicinity above the map, and many places are empty.
There is a waterfall on the north side of the mountain that flows down, and the terrain on both sides is also very steep, although the waterfall is not big, but the drop of nearly 100 zhang and the steep terrain are not suitable for the survival of demon beasts, and this should not be the focus of defending against demon beasts. Then to the east, there is a gentle slope, and the valley below the slope is very dense, which is where the monsters live, and the passage that is most likely to invade the dwellings of the dialects.
After the peak, the dialect chose a relatively gentle place to live in the south, not far from the top of the mountain, facing north and south and facing the center of the camp, where the house was built. Then the dialect released the black sha and the green ox, and let the black sha remove the grass and trees from the ground, and the green ox used it to level the ground.
Under the dull gaze of Qingluan and Li Fang, it only took half an hour for Hei Sha to level out a ten-acre area, and he stood beside Fang Yan very easily. Then Fang Yan came to a hill full of rocks, and the big stones containing a dozen storage bags flew back.
By the time Fang Yan came back, the two had already leveled the place with the green ox, and then Fang Yan cast an earth attribute spell, dug out deep ditches with Heisha, and asked Li Fang to cut down a few big trees and put them aside for later use. Half an hour later, Fang Yan took out the big stones one by one, and several people used magic tools to cut the big stones into neat strips, and all the scraps were dumped into the ditch.
Towards dusk, the cut stone barcodes were put together, seven or eight zhang high, enough to build a house. The cut gravel covered the deep trenches that had been dug, and the dialects were reinforced one by one with earth attribute spells, and after sunset, the foundation was finally laid. The men took out the dry food they had brought with them and nibbled on a few bites, and then continued to work, building the cut stones one by one.
After two hours, two rooms were hastily built, and the beds were put up, and the black demon and the demon vine were on guard all around, and they slept like this, and finally did not sleep in the wilderness.
Early the next morning, the dialect still got up early to do the morning class, absorbing the purple yang qi on the top of the mountain, Qingluan and Li Fang also admired it very much, yesterday after a tiring day, the dialect is still diligent cultivation, wind and rain.
A few of them ate something haphazardly and then built a house. After the house here is built, the next step is to start arranging the formation, although it is the closest to the place where the demon beasts are active, the soil is fertile and the grass is dense, and it is a good place to open up the spiritual field in the future.
