Obviously, Gao Yunmian came with other tasks this time, but what specific tasks was it? How should the Night Travel Division arrange city defense? There was no need for Li Xiuping to do anything since Emperor Wu City and the Night Travel Division were handling the handover and arrangements.
Li Xiuping's current task is to cast as many arrows as possible.
It's just that Li Xiu Ping originally wanted to chat more with Gao Yunmian, but after Gao Yunmian arrived in Maple Leaf City, he was very busy, and he was almost never in Maple Leaf City. He kept running around on this front and met many times. several times.
However, although Gao Yunmian has a heavy responsibility, after Emperor Wu City retreats to the second line of defense, Gao Yunmian will also retreat to the rear with Li Xiuping and others to arrange the third line of defense.
On the sixth day after Gao Yunmian came to Maple Leaf City, the powerful men from Emperor Wu City also returned to Maple Leaf City one after another. However, there was no direct battle in Maple Leaf City, but Emperor Wu City had already started to arrange for Li Xiuping and others to leave, so Li Shuhei did not see the city lord of Emperor Wu City.
Just like the previous situation in Emperor Wu City, one spiritual boat after another continued to take off, and then headed west one after another.
Gao Yunmian and Li Xiuping were riding in a spirit boat together. At this moment, the two of them landed side by side on the spirit boat. This scene made He Feng in the back feel inexplicably unhappy.
Now that they have time, the two of them can finally have a good chat.
Gao Yunmian first smiled and said: "I didn't bring your master's couplet with me this time, so if you want to go back, you have to go back to the Imperial City by yourself."
She continued: "But I think you won't be able to go back for a while, because after a while, you may have to go south, and then you may have to go to the demon clan."
Li Xiuping was stunned.
Gao Yunmian explained: "Although Ye Xingsi has some methods to deal with demons, such as weapons that can kill Nascent Soul stage demons, after the situation here stabilizes, you need to be responsible for helping the south to form a defense line. I I want to go to the north."
Li Xiuping couldn't help but frown.
Gao Yunmian smiled and said: "Don't forget, you are a member of the Night Travel Division, and you also hold the Black Iron Order."
Having said this, she took out something, handed it to Li Xiuping, and said at the same time: "But it's time to change it now."
What he took out was a token that was the same as the Black Iron Token, but the material was not black iron, but glass.
Gao Yunmian continued: "This is what Da Siming asked me to give you. It contains some methods to fight against the demons and things related to the Night Travel Division, as well as some things related to you. You can find time to get familiar with it. .”
Li Xiuping was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "Something related to me?"
Gao Yunmian nodded and said: "I don't know the specifics, but my father said it was your master's instructions. He said that he would give this thing to you after you can forge the fairy sword."
Li Xiuping asked: "What is the relationship between my master and Ye Xingsi?"
Gao Yunmian shook his head and said: "I don't know this very well. The only thing I can be sure of is that the reason why your master is involved with Ye Xingsi is largely because of you."
Li Xiuping became more and more confused, and at the same time he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
His life experience may be solved soon, because judging from Gao Yunmian's statement, there are likely to be clues related to his life experience in this brand.
However, although Li Xiuping had this conjecture in his mind, he was not in a hurry to understand the information in the brand. After all, safety cannot be guaranteed nowadays. He may encounter the same situation as before at any time and rashly access the information in the brand. Once he is attacked, , if there is an interruption, you may miss some important information, so you still need to find a safe place and absorb it slowly.
Anyway, I have been waiting for such a long time, so I am not in a hurry.
In addition, Li Xiuping is actually a little worried, or afraid, that he cannot accept the truth. After all, although he has been searching, the current situation still comes too suddenly, and he is not yet ready to know everything. …
As the spirit boat continued to move west, it was inevitably attacked by demons. However, this attack was not as terrifying as the last time. They were just low-level monsters, and they were not able to attack Li Xiuping and his party. What came were just some scattered monsters wandering around the world after the passage was opened.
With the protection of the Qingming laymen and the strong men from Emperor Wu City, it is impossible for these monsters to even get close to the spirit boat, let alone threaten the safety of everyone on the spirit boat.
In fact, Li Xiuping has always been a little confused. Doesn't it mean that if a monster wants to move in this world, it needs to find a carrier? But since the passage was opened, such monsters can be seen everywhere, and they seem to be completely unaffected.
Li Xiuping looked at the monsters that were being killed and said to Gao Yunmian: "Since Sister Gao knows how to deal with the demons, she must also have some understanding of the demons. There is one thing that I have never thought about. It's not about the demons." If the clan wants to move in this world, does it need a carrier?"
Gao Yunmian nodded and said: "It is true, but as the seals of the four cities are lifted, the rules of this world will also be affected. This influence will slowly extend and eventually spread throughout the world. Now that the passage has just been opened, the affected people It’s only around the four cities, so these monsters can only move within this range. Once they go beyond this range, they will be suppressed.”
Li Xiuping was a little stunned.
Gao Yunmian continued: "Nowadays, relying on this rule, we can still resist the attack of the demon clan. As time goes by, the impact on this world will become more serious. When the time comes, the demon clan can wander around this world at will. It will also become more and more difficult to deal with.”
Li Xiuping nodded.
Gao Yunmian sighed at this time and continued: "Ten thousand years ago, the demons invaded. Although they were finally defeated, the rules of this world were also greatly affected, so that many secret cultivation methods were directly lost, leaving only Having mastered the Immortal Way and the Demonic Way, those like you who practice martial arts and gain something are considered a special case."
Li Xiuping asked: "The devil's way?"
Gao Yunmian nodded and said: "There is a saying in the world of cultivation that one can become an immortal by practicing a hundred times and become a demon by dying a hundred times. This refers to the immortal way and the demonic way, which are the only two ways of cultivation left in the world, be it Confucianism or Buddhism. , or it could be that Taoists cultivate the immortal way, while buildings like the Star Observation Tower cultivate the demonic way."
She looked at Li Xiuping and said, "You know better than me what the Immortal Way is. As for the Demonic Way, I don't know either."
Li Xiuping nodded, thoughtfully.
It seems that in order to unlock these secrets, we must first unlock the inheritance gained from the ruins of the ancient battlefield, and all of this seems to have a lot to do with me.
Both the willow tree and the two women in the Penglai Immortal Boat came from ten thousand years ago, and the inheritance of the ancient battlefield ruins also came from ten thousand years ago.
In other words, as long as you unlock the inheritance, you can know some situations that happened thousands of years ago, and naturally you will also be able to know the secrets of the immortal and demonic ways.
It's just that the other self has no signs of waking up until now. I'm afraid it will have to wait for a while. As for how long it will take, Li Xiuping himself can't tell.
Gao Yunmian continued: "The battle thousands of years ago caused such a huge change in the world. Now, after thousands of years, the demons have invaded again. I don't know what the world will become again."
Li Xiuping said: "We can't change this kind of thing, we can only take it one step at a time."
Gao Yunmian nodded.
At this moment, all the attacking monsters had been suppressed, and layman Qingming and the powerful men from Emperor Wu City had also returned to the spirit boat.
Just as Gao Yunmian said, as the spirit boat continues to go west, the monsters it encounters are becoming less and less. It is obvious that the influence of the passage on Emperor Wu City has not spread to this location.
From a time point of view, the spread of this influence is not very fast. If it wants to affect the entire world, it will take at least decades. Therefore, the center of the world will be safe for at least several decades.
Of course, this kind of security only means that monsters cannot move freely, but those who practice the devil can also move in these places, and these people who practice the devil are also a big threat.
The key is that if it is true as those strong men in the Star Observation Tower said, the immortal way has been cut off, and there is no hope of ascending by relying on the immortal way, but the demonic way can do it, I am afraid that many people who practice the immortal way will turn to the demonic way. This is the most troublesome. things.
Sometimes, the real danger does not come from those monsters, but from humans. This is well proved by Li Xiuping.
Whether it was in the previous secret realm or after the seal of Emperor Wu City was lifted, the so-called demons did not actually pose any threat to Li Xiuping. On the contrary, the Star Observation Tower, one of the seven holy places, almost killed Li Xiuping several times. A small life.
In other words, the farther west you go now, the safer it is for many people, but not for Li Xiuping. Because those who practice magic are not only not affected by the rules of this world, they will also always keep an eye on Li Xiuping, looking for opportunities to kill Li Xiuping.
Li Xiuping can forge immortal swords and refine elixirs. In the eyes of those powerful demons, he is naturally a scourge and a stumbling block to their ascension. Those people will naturally want to get rid of Li Xiuping.
Originally, the purpose of forging immortal swords and refining elixirs was to maximize his own value so that all forces could take him seriously. In this way, all forces would seek something from him and ensure that he safety.
Now this goal has indeed been achieved, but because of the elixir and the sword, he has become a thorn in the eyes of the demons, a thorn in their flesh, and they want to kill him quickly.
In this regard, Li Xiuping had no choice but to refine the elixir and forge the sword.
Only by refining elixirs and forging immortal swords can he have the value of existence, and all parties will try their best to ensure his safety. If he does not forge swords or forge elixirs, his existence will be worthless, and all parties will do their best to ensure his safety. Why should we allocate manpower to ensure his safety while fighting against the demons?
When that time comes, the demons will kill him, and the strong men who practice the demonic way will also kill him, and there is no strong man around him to protect him, then he will truly die.
The Lingzhou flew west for five days, and then stopped at a sect called Lingxiao Sect.
And this Lingxiao Sect is where the third line of defense is formed.
The choice of this third line of defense was not decided by Emperor Wu City, but by the Night Walking Division; and there are already many strong men from the Night Walking Division stationed in the Lingxiao Sect, making preparations in advance for building the third line of defense. Made some preparations.
As the spirit boat landed in the Lingxiao Sect, the leader of the Lingxiao Sect immediately led countless people out to greet him, all of them smiling but worried.
Obviously, everyone is very clear that this third line of defense cannot stop the demon attack, which means that it will not be long before they have to join the battle against the demon army. By then, not only the sect's foundation will have to be abandoned , even their lives will be threatened.
It's just that no one can do anything about this kind of thing, and they can only admit that they are unlucky.
Judging from the preparations of this third line of defense, it is obviously much better than the second line of defense, and the people on this third line of defense are obviously also mentally prepared, unlike those on the second line of defense. Fear, fear, panic.
It can also be judged from this that as time continues, the entire human world will gradually accept the fact of the invasion of demons, and will gradually be able to face the strange enemy of demons. It will no longer be the first mention of demons. Clan is the fear of unknown existence.
"I have heard of Mr. Li for a long time, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to meet him. I didn't expect that the first time we met would be in such a situation. If there is any neglect, I hope Mr. Li can be more tolerant." Li Xiuping walked down the hall. Zhou, the leader of Lingxiao Sect was the first to speak.
Li Xiuping smiled and returned the greeting, saying: "Master Gu is very serious. I hope you don't think that I have disturbed the peace of the Lingxiao sect. Also, I came with a mission this time, and sometimes I will inevitably overstep my authority. We will deal with some matters in a timely manner, and I hope you can understand me."
Everyone in the Lingxiao Sect was stunned, and then the leader of the Lingxiao Sect said: "With Mr. Li personally responsible for this third line of defense, we can feel a lot more at ease. We know very little about the demon clan, and there are many I also hope Mr. Li can give me more advice..."
After some polite greetings, we got down to business.
All city defense matters, with Gao Yunmian present, naturally did not require Li Xiuping to intervene too much, so the Lingxiao faction was asked to settle the alchemists and weapon refiners first, and then the alchemists and weapon refiners began to work directly. stand up.
The Lingxiao Sect arranged a separate courtyard for Li Xiuping. It was located at the back of the Lingxiao Sect. It was not only quiet, but also had a great view. It's just that Li Xiuping is not in the mood to see the scenery now. After entering the room, he took out the sign Gao Yunmian gave him.
According to Gao Yunmian, this brand not only represents Li Xiuping's status in the Night Travel Division, but will allow Li Xiuping to mobilize the personnel of the Night Travel Division with this brand in the future. It also contains a lot of useful information, not only related to the demons. , and may even be related to his life experience.
Li Xiuping said to the blue water unicorn: "Don't let anyone disturb you these two days."
After saying that, without waiting for the green water unicorn to speak, he closed the door directly, sat down on the futon, and poured his consciousness into the sign.
As the spiritual consciousness poured in, the sign floated on its own, and then a series of green lights lit up, completely covering Li Xiuping.
Countless pieces of information continued to appear in Li Xiuping's mind out of thin air, and the first thing that appeared was the history of Ye Xingsi.
As layman Qingming said before, the history of Yexingsi is indeed extremely long, and the recorded history is actually as long as ten thousand years.
Ten thousand years may not seem like much, and for practitioners, it is indeed nothing, but it is not that little at all. In such a long period of time, it can still ensure that the inheritance continues, and it can also ensure that these histories can be Passed down, this is enough to show that the Night Travel Division is not a simple secular institution.
You know, the forces that can be passed down for thousands of years can be counted on both hands in the whole world. Needless to say, there are three mountains and four cities. But even the seven holy places, many of them have not been able to continue their inheritance for so long. There are people on the way. Several changes.
Of course, it is precisely because ten thousand years is too long that although Ye Xingsi has maintained its inheritance, there have been several major changes. Therefore, although the inheritance is long-lasting, many things have been lost in the long river of history, which is why it became Today's appearance needs to rely on the secular dynasty.
It is precisely for this reason that today in this world, apart from the Great Zhou Dynasty, traces of Ye Xingsi are rarely seen elsewhere. Even in the Great Zhou Dynasty, not many people know about the existence of Ye Xingsi.
The Night Travel Division is usually responsible for handling some strange incidents. In fact, in the Zhou Dynasty, many people know the existence of the Night Walk Division. Most of them are because of the demon trouble in Qingyang County. Now because of the invasion of the demons, the Night Walk Division is also doomed. Be known to the whole world again...
After understanding the history of Yexingsi, there are various ways and methods to deal with foreign races, including not only demons, but also some methods to deal with monsters and various evil spirits. It is just that they are different from the magical powers of Taoism. Yexingsi has inherited them Most of the methods require the help of external objects, and the requirements for cultivation realm are not that high.
And these are the inheritance of Ye Xingsi.
It is precisely because of these inheritances that when Ye Xingsi was in Qingyang County, although there were no very powerful people, he was still able to withstand the attacks of monsters. Especially when it came to arranging city defenses, Ye Xingsi had A formation that relies on terrain, it was this formation that was originally deployed in Qingyang County.
The amount of information recorded in this brand is too huge, but there is an advantage to transmitting information in this way, that is, the information will be directly imprinted in the sea of consciousness, and can be directly mobilized when needed in the future. Similar to a kind of inherited memory.
It is precisely because of the specialness of this method that when receiving this information, no outsiders can interfere. Once disturbed, there will be a gap in inheritance, and many information cannot be received completely.
It took Li Xiuping two full days just to understand the history of the Night Travel Division and the various methods of fighting alien races. During this period, Li Xiuping did not get any information related to his life experience, and the jade tablet contained What has been recorded has almost come to an end.
Some people died, but not completely...
