Chapter 665: Old Knowledge
At the gate of this small city, everyone rushed out of the spaceship, and the bearded monk did not stop for a moment after a brief handover to the person in front of the door, and then drove the spaceship away in a hurry. After examining everyone's task cards, Fang Yan and the others were put into the city, and then several monks approached them.
Foundation Stage monks like Fang Yan will arrange a residence in this small city, and they only need to go to a few important locations every once in a while to stay, and the rest of the time they can return to the city to stay, without having to be assigned to all these Qi Refining Stage monks. These people were in charge of their dwellings in the dialects, and although the town was small, it could easily accommodate the monks above the foundation period.
Several people greeted them with a little enthusiasm, and after assigning accommodation, they assigned someone to take them there. It's just that Fang Yan has something in his heart, always thinking about why the black-faced monk recognized him, if he said where he once met, this is also a bit too coincidental, the demon cultivator doesn't have much intersection, there are only dozens of people here, how can he meet old acquaintances.
Before coming to a gentle slope in the city, under the guidance of a Qi cultivation period demon cultivator, Fang Yan walked into the stone house arranged for him. There are only two rooms in the front and back, the area is not large, and the aura is lackluster, but it is good to be able to get a decent place to live in this kind of place, and only monks above the foundation can have such treatment.
On the way here, Fang Yan consciously or unconsciously asked about the situation in the stronghold, and the monk who led him here readily told him all about the situation in the place with a little favor from Fang Yan. Don't look at it as just an ordinary stronghold, there are no less than tens of thousands of monks stationed here, and there are also five Jindan monks stationed here, but they are usually not very careful, and they will only appear when something big happens in the stronghold.
Although I can't see the figures of these Jindan monks, this small city can't allow anyone to act recklessly, and it is better to be cautious in the dialect, and I am afraid that dealing with the black-faced demon cultivator in the city will cause trouble, so I can only wait patiently for the opportunity.
It's no wonder that Fang Yan wondered so much, in fact, he had never met this black-faced monk in person. However, this man was very impressed with the dialect, and was extremely surprised that he would be here. The monk's face darkened at the moment, and he sat restless in his room, unable to figure out why the dialect was here.
This person is a disciple of the Miao family, a small family from Xizhou, and Fang Yan used to stay there for a while, and the thing that impressed this person with Fang Yan was naturally the life-and-death duel between Fang Yan and Hu Ban. In such a small family. But the appearance of two spiritual and demon cultivators at the same time is not impressive.
And he remembers it well. At that time, the cultivation of dialects was only in the early stage of foundation building, which was lower than that time, but the combat power of dialects made him dare not underestimate them. Who knows that it has not been ten years, but the cultivation of dialects has been so diligent, a lot higher than he is now, it is really unimaginable, I really don't know how dialects are cultivated, maybe what great opportunities have been obtained?
But what surprised him the most was that he obviously heard the people of the clan say. The dialect is to go to the direction of the Two Realms Mountain with the people in the clan, how can it appear here, you must know that the distance between the two places is very far away, and it is very inconvenient to come and go. Besides, the attitude of the Miao family towards the dialect at that time should be to entrap him and let him stay in the clan to serve, why did he come here.
Therefore, as soon as he saw the tongue the day before. Surprised and suspicious, he remembered the great changes in dialect cultivation, and immediately decided to hide his identity, and then kept thinking in his heart. Whether it was the combat power of the dialects he had seen, or his dual cultivation of spirit and demons, and the reason why his cultivation had increased greatly over the years. None of them made him feel very excited.
Others may only see the superficial cultivation of the dialect, but he can conclude that the dialect must be a great treasure, and his entire net worth is definitely worth a lot. There are a few monks who have come from afar who are not outlaws, and instead of risking their lives to kill the Daomen monks, it is better to try to steal the treasures of others, and the harvest may be much greater than those rewards.
The black-faced monk pondered for a long time, and finally decided that it was the most cost-effective to obtain the treasure of the dialect. Compared with the visible benefits in front of him, how much can he gain from the hard work of guarding here and accumulating meritorious deeds, even if he risks killing a few Daomen spies who come to attack, he may not have the wealth of dialects.
It's just that he once saw the combat power of dialects, and he asked himself that with his current strength, he couldn't even win against the dialects at that time, not to mention that the cultivation of dialects is so high now. It seems that he will never be able to swallow it alone, but there are monks here who want to make a windfall, and it is also common in demon cultivation to steal the net worth of his companions, as long as he bothered, he can always find someone who is willing to cooperate.
The man stayed in the room with a gloomy face, carefully planning the matter, but he did not know the dialect he was worried about, and stayed in the room and was busy with his own business. Since he came here, after Fang Yan made a slight arrangement in his residence, he has been immersed in the cultivation of the Spirit Explosion Technique, and even the matter of this black-faced monk has been put aside for the time being, no matter what, the most important thing is to be able to quickly improve his own strength.
It was impossible for him to stay here for a long time, he just used this place as a springboard to return to the area controlled by the Daomen at the first opportunity, and the black-faced monk who made him suspicious had nothing to do with him. Therefore, although Fang Yan was very wary of this person, he did not pay too much attention to it, and he did not know that this person had already planned for himself.
Half a month has passed in a hurry, and it will be the turn of these new foundation building monks to garrison the stronghold, and Fang Yan has long wanted to use this to investigate the reality of this stronghold, so as to plan a route for his departure. Early that morning, Fang Yan went to the council hall in the center of the town, waiting to be assigned a task for himself.
The black-faced monk had also come early, but when he looked at the dialect, he was very indifferent, and he looked like he had never known him, which seemed much more natural than that day. Fang Yan was silent, and he was a little more puzzled in his heart, but his face did not show the slightest flaw, and he still nodded politely, and did not show any abnormality.
Soon a deacon from the stronghold came out to assign a task, and the group was divided into several teams, along with the Tsukiki monks who had been stationed in the area earlier, and each went to the defensive point in the mountains. Each team was led by a monk from the late stage of foundation building, and several others followed, and the cultivator who spoke in the dialect naturally served as the leader of the team, and he would also be the main defense of the place after arriving.
Coincidentally, the black-faced monk happened to be part of the team he was leading, and one of them took them with him in a short time. Fang Yan's face was expressionless from beginning to end, but his divine consciousness was observing this person consciously or unconsciously, and he followed out of the small city under his feet, and then slowly flew towards the bottom of the mountain, thinking in his heart.
There are many prohibitions on the whole mountain, and an important stronghold like this one at the forefront is thought to be a heavily protected place, and although the dialect does not know much about it, it can be seen that these prohibitions are strict. Spiraling down the mountain, bending left and right, it came close to the foot of the mountain, and not far further on there were two side peaks, through which a long and narrow valley passed.
This mountain pass is the pass where Fang Yan and others will guard, and it is right at the key point of the nearby mountains, and if someone wants to approach this place or want to smuggle it over, this valley is the place to pass. It can be said that this is both the worst and the best spot on the entire mountain, depending on what you think.
This place is at the forefront of the entire stronghold, if the stronghold is attacked, this place will bear the brunt, and because the location of the garrison is relatively low, it is not easy to defend, if the opponent is large in number to attack this place, it is not impossible for the whole army to be annihilated. However, this is also the easiest place to make contributions, and if the spies of the Daomen come to visit, the reward after killing is also a good income.
The ordinary place where everyone was stationed was at the top of one of the side peaks, and after the monk who led them to open the formation called out, Fang Yan and the others came to it. After a brief handover with the previous monks in this place, Fang Yan led everyone into the formation, but inside was a place carved out on the top of the mountain, only dozens of acres in size, which could be seen through at a glance.
There are more than ten stone houses that are horizontal and vertical, and they are divided into upper and lower layers along the mountain, and the bottom is connected into several rows of residences for monks in the Qi refining period, and several stone houses on the top of the peak are provided for dialects and others to live in. Fang Yan chose the largest of them, and the rest of the monks soon chose a place to live, and soon settled here.
The black-faced monk's residence, Fang Yan couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and then walked straight to his residence, and after tidying up a little, he laid out a small formation. Seeing that it was still early, Fang Yan went out and summoned a Qi cultivation period monk and asked him to take him to inspect the valley, which was called to inspect the defense.
This man was a small leader here, and when he heard the assignment of the dialect, he did not dare to slack off, and then he flew away from the side peak and came to the sky above the valley. These two side peaks are so well positioned that you can easily monitor the movements on both sides of the valley from above, and you can see the area for miles at a glance, and it is not easy to sneak through this place.
Naturally, there are also many open and secret sentinels installed on the two peaks, all of which are filled by a Qi Refining Stage cultivator, and when they find any abnormalities, they must report it immediately, and then the dialect decides what action to take. However, since the Demon Gate is so well guarded, I think the stronghold on the opposite side will not relax in the slightest, and the buffer zone between the two sides is not so easy to pass through, and there will definitely be no fewer traps and ambushes in it.
How to get to the other side, the dialect has to be carefully calculated, but first of all, the situation in the vicinity must be investigated, otherwise I don't know whose hands it will fall into. The dialect pretended to check all the places, and had to say a few words of encouragement to the monks who were defending here, anyway, they were all scene words, and the dialect came as soon as he opened his mouth.
Fang Yan asked about the situation here in recent months, and there were really monks from the Dao Sect who wanted to sneak in from here, but they were immediately killed by a group of demon cultivators guarding this place, and they lost their lives in vain. I don't know if this person is stupid or bold, this kind of area that is obviously heavily defended is not a good place, almost like looking for death.
And the method that Fang Yan will take in the future may not be much better than this man, but this dangerous area is his only passage, and if he wants to go back, he will have to take some risks. Thinking of this, Fang Yan groaned in his heart, and it didn't take long for him to return to his residence, and he closed the door and thought hard about where to start. (To be continued.)
