Jianzhong Mountain, it is said that the name of this mountain has a connection with the Muxiu Peak of the Wuling Sect. Although the mountain was named after the founding of the Wuling Sect, its roots have to be traced further back. Few years.
The Five Spirits Sect was founded after a long and fierce battle that was named the "Battle Across the Sea" by later generations. However, before the "Battle Across the Sea", there was a protracted and bloody battle on the land of Central Continent. That battle was named the "Millennium War" by later generations.
It is impossible to verify whether that war lasted for a thousand years, but the spiritual world of Central Continent also underwent great changes after the "Thousand Years War". ．
For example, before the "Thousand-Year War", the practice of body cultivation had always been regarded as an inferior practice. During the "Thousand-Year War", those who invaded with the help of teleportation circles all over Central Continent Among the monks from outside the territory, there are many whose methods are very similar to those of the locals in Central Continent. The difference is that the power exerted by those outside the territory is greater. Therefore, after the Thousand Years of War, after countless generations of training Through study and practice, physical cultivation has gradually evolved into an existence that can be compared with other cultivation methods.
Also, before the "Thousand Years' War", there was no such practice as sword cultivation in the land of Central Continent.
It was also during the "Millennium War" that the Central Continent monks at that time saw for the first time those foreign sword cultivators who were extremely powerful and killed countless people with just one sword, which was chilling. Moreover, the monks in Central Continent also discovered the difference between those sword cultivators from outside the territory, that is, some sword cultivators are clear-headed, can judge the situation when facing the enemy, and have a plan for advancing or retreating; while the other type is completely different. Those sword cultivators all had dark red eyes and looked like crazy demons. As long as they faced the enemy, they would fight to the death without fear or pain until they died in battle.
Later, the monks in Central Continent learned that the second type of swordsmanship was the swordsmanship after becoming possessed by demons.
After the "Millennium War" was tragically defeated by the monks in Central Continent at a great price, some people in Central Continent began to study the methods of sword cultivation from outside the territory. Since then, there has been another monk's practice method in Central Continent.
However, until the end of the "Battle across the sea" and the founding of the Five Spirit Sect, the sword cultivators in Central Continent were actually divided into two major factions. Moreover, the two factions often argued with each other and disliked each other. Even if they have accumulated grudges for a long time, they will regard the other party as an enemy.
Speaking of which, the two sects are both sword cultivators. If there is any difference, one sect advocates that sword cultivators cannot become possessed by demons, while the other sect maintains that in order to exert the powerful power of sword cultivators, one must become possessed by demons!
In the spiritual world at that time, or at least in the Wuling Sect, people named the two sects "Qingxiu" and "Ranchen" respectively. The Qingxiu sect advocated that sword cultivators should never be possessed by demons. To the limit, it is extremely inappropriate to use demonic possession as the main method. After a long time of sinking, it is very likely that you will completely fall into the demonic path, which is not good for yourself or others. However, the Ranchen Sect is on the contrary. They believe that sword cultivation is based on powerful power. It is famous all over the world. If you follow the Qing Xiu sect, it is better not to practice sword cultivation. When facing an invincible and powerful enemy, only by becoming a demon can you fully release all the potential of the sword cultivator, and then you can kill the opponent.
As one of the five sects of Wuling Sect, Mu Xiufeng was divided into two sects at that time, the Qingxiu sect and the Ranchen sect. Of course, there is no longer the so-called Ranchen sect, and the disappearance of the Ranchen sect is related to the disappearance of the Ranchen sect. The name of the mountain has a direct relationship.
At that time, most of the four sects except Mu Xiufeng felt that the Ranchen sect's approach was too risky and radical. However, although accidents happened from time to time in Ranchen, the Ranchen sect had long established its foundation for the Five Spirit Sect. He has made great achievements, so he can tolerate it.
The great change of the Ranchen Sect happened very suddenly. It is said that one day, an important elder in the Ranchen Sect of Mu Xiufeng was teaching his disciples and demonstrated for them personally when explaining the key point of being possessed by demons. As a result, they did not know that this Has the elder been possessed by the devil too many times in his life or has something caused him to lose his mind? After being possessed by the devil, he can no longer control himself and cannot remain sane while being possessed by the devil. After being possessed by the devil, the elder has completely lost his mind. The mind turned into a monster with dark red eyes, an angry beard, and a bloodthirsty monster. He killed all his disciples on the spot, and then started killing in Muxiu Peak!
The first ones who received the news and rushed to stop them were still the elders of the Ranchen Sect, but when they arrived, it was said that the situation was already a river of blood. Moreover, after the elder fell into the devil's path, his power doubled, and there was no one who could rival him. As far as those dark red eyes could see, there was a pool of blood flowing. To deal with monsters, one must naturally transform into a monster. This is the philosophy that the Ranchen Sect has always adhered to. After many elders of the Ranchen Sect arrived, they saw that the situation was extremely chaotic. After many attempts, they could not reawaken the elder, so they had no choice but to They had no choice but to become possessed by demons one after another to fight with it. They thought well, and everyone joined forces to defeat it, and then slowly clean up the mess.
Unfortunately, it backfired!
It is a very dangerous thing for sword cultivators to become possessed. As elders present, they have used countless methods of becoming possessed in their lives. Everything has a limit. If this limit is exceeded, there will be no way back. Many sword cultivator elders of the Ranchen Sect hurriedly became demons. It cannot be said that all the elders on the spot were completely lost. However, as soon as they became demons, two or three of them immediately became as good as the first elder. The enemy and ourselves started fighting randomly, and then there were other possessed elders named Ranchen who couldn't defeat them for a long time under hard fighting. The tragic situation in front of them strongly shocked their intelligence, which was like a candle in the wind, and finally they were exhausted. No longer able to keep the mourning platform clear, I could only feel that the sky and the earth were filled with scarlet, and he started killing people like a madman. This incident soon caused irreparable damage, and then Mu Xiufeng was completely in chaos. .
Then the sword cultivators from the Mu Xiufeng Qing Xiu Sect heard the news and arrived.
Immediately afterwards, the alarm bell rang in the sect, which shocked the five spirits, and numerous pill-forming elders from the other four sects also swarmed in!
Whether it is Wuling Sect or Mu Xiufeng, even if there is a record of this incident, it is generally kept secret. No one knows how many people died on that day. According to legend, we can still get a glimpse of what happened at that time. It is said that the elders of the Qingxiu Sect and the Danjie elders from the other four sects in the sect rushed over. Of course, there are also some Ranchen Sword Swordsmen who can still maintain their sanity after being possessed by demons. Elder Xiu, they worked together to drive out the insane Ranchen elders from the Five Spirit Sect. We can't just let go within the sect, otherwise even if things calm down, Mu Xiufeng will be completely destroyed. eight.
After those Ranchen elders who had become demons were driven out, they were driven and beaten all the way. Finally, they were surrounded by many Wulingdan elders at Jianzhong Mountain, where the decisive battle took place. occurring.
It is said that many Five Spirit Elders died in Jianzhong Mountain that day, from all sects. The ones who finally killed those Ranchen elders who had completely fallen were those who remained clear-headed after becoming possessed by demons. However, Almost all of them died together. After this battle, the Mu Xiufeng Ranchen Sect almost lost its essence!
The Ranchen Sect caused such heavy losses to the Wuling Sect. At that time, an elder Ranchen who had recovered from serious injuries left a last word before his death, saying that he was ashamed to bury his body in Muxiu Peak. Since this mountain is Ranchen As the final place of decline of the Chen Sect, it would be better to bury the remains of all the dead elders of the Chen Sect in this mountain.
Since then, there has been no Ranchen Sect in Muxiu Peak, and the mountain where the shocking massacre once took place was named "Sword Tomb Mountain".
I don’t know how many years have passed. After Li Jian entered the Wuling Sect and became a sword cultivator, Mu Xiufeng no longer had any Qing Xiu Ranchen. A Qing Xiu was a sword cultivator. It was strictly prohibited in Mu Xiufeng. Disciples are practicing sword training to become demons, and if found, they will be severely punished!
…
After Qian Chao and the other five left the sect, they simply took out the spirit swords they used when they went to guard Wo Mountain, regardless of whether anyone was secretly following or spying on them. The five of them stepped on them, and then disappeared in a burst of brilliance. , many Five Spirit disciples who saw this scene were stunned.
This time I want to go to Jianzhong Mountain, but Jianzhong Mountain is not the main destination, and it is not the only place to go.
Wen Liang is sneaking around in the dark and watching with eager eyes, so the top priority this time is to find a place to deal with Wen Liang's people in the future. Fortunately, there seem to be a few around Jianzhong Mountain that Qian Chao really wants to see with his own eyes. The place to look.
According to the direction of travel of Qian Chao and the five men, the place they should arrive first is called "Ten Thousand Arrows Forest".
Before Qian Chao left, he checked some sect records in the Jiuxuan Library, and also inquired from some senior brothers in the inner hall. The so-called Forest of Thousand Arrows was actually a cluster of "arrow trees" land, and that area is quite large. Strictly speaking, the so-called "arrowwood" belongs to the same genus as the evil tree, but the arrowwood is not classified as an evil tree. This is because the spiritual plant of the arrowwood is not very greedy for spiritual energy and spiritual veins. , unlike other places where bad trees grow, there is no grass growing in such a large area, and it is completely dominated by bad trees. Therefore, where there are clusters of arrowheads, there are also other spiritual grasses growing, but don’t underestimate the arrowheads because of this. Monsters, beasts and birds dare not set foot in places where they are clustered. Even if the monks knew how powerful the arrowhead was, they would stay away from it. Otherwise, if they accidentally stepped into it or flew from above and were not high enough, they would easily die there.
According to records in the book, Arrowwood can sense the fluctuations of spiritual energy emitted by demonic birds, beasts or monks, and then it will identify that direction, and then use a poisonous arrow-shaped branch growing on its body to move it very quickly. This is the arrowhead's method of fighting the enemy. A single arrowhead tree may not do much harm, but the arrowhead tree never grows alone. As long as the arrowhead tree is found, it must grow together in a very lush area. As long as there are monsters and beasts that accidentally break in, they will shoot poisonous arrows in unison, so that area is called the "Lin of Ten Thousand Arrows".
In the afternoon of that day, Qian Chao and the others approached the Ten Thousand Arrows Forest relying on the high speed of the spiritual swords at their feet.
This place is not close to the sect. Without this spiritual sword for flying, if the five of them followed the previous steps and did not delay along the way, they might be able to get here at noon tomorrow, and from there, they would be able to get there. Anyone who wanted to follow them would have been thrown away long ago.
The mountains and rivers on the map had long been imprinted on Qian Chao's mind, so when he approached Wanjian Lin, he asked several of his companions to slow down, and finally stopped at the boundary of Wanjian Lin. If he hadn't seen it clearly, he would have If they accidentally broke in, the five people would be in considerable danger.
Qian Chao stopped in the air, unfolded the map he carried with him and looked at it carefully, then looked up at the mountains and water around him for a while, and finally determined:
"The Thousand Arrows Forest should be right ahead."
Viewed from the air, there is not much difference. They are all a vast expanse of green between the mountains. However, if you are careful, you will find that the trees here are lush, but the further you go, the fewer birds in the sky. The mountain range that is not steep and tall directly in front is actually a place where birds have disappeared, which is very rare outside the sect.
"Is Wanjianlin just ahead?" Tang Ping came over and looked at the map in Qian Chao's hand and asked.
"good."
"There is no difference from other mountains and forests, except that there are fewer birds."
"Not only are there a few, there are basically no flying birds." Li Jian said from the side. After he arrived here, he noticed a strong crisis coming from the front.
"I'll give it a try and see if it can be used here in the future."
Qian Chao said and took out a talisman. He had also used this talisman in Shouwo Mountain. The talisman itself did not have any power, but it could always emit waves of spiritual energy. After flying out, it was like a monk flying at high speed. Flying over, Qian Chao once used it to lure the monsters inside into a chaotic and bloody fight in Shouwo Mountain. Now he can use it to try the Forest of Thousand Arrows below.
The talisman flashed a pale yellow light and flew forward quickly from Qian Chao's hand, like a faint yellow line rapidly extending forward. Wherever it passed, it must have entered the top of the Ten Thousand Arrows Forest, and it was not high. But the woods below were quiet and unchanged at first.
A moment later, when everyone was confused, Lu Pingchuan said with some disdain:
"Nothing's wrong, Wan Jianlin, the name sounds quite majestic, but..."
Lu Pingchuan's words were interrupted by a sudden tidal buzz. In front of the five of them, a black tide suddenly rose up in the forest, as if there were thousands of troops hidden in the forest. Tens of thousands of horses, the soldiers all drew their arms to control their strings, and shot arrows into the sky at the same time. Countless black straight arrow shafts flew up, and the dense rain of arrows directly blocked the sight of the five people, chasing after them like a black tide. Go away with the smaller and smaller talisman!
The talisman, which had already turned into a small yellow dot, was swallowed up by a black shadow almost instantly, and then the black shadow continued to rise. When they reached the highest point and fell like dense rain, only then could the sharp objects be heard. There was a roar that shattered the space!
Li Jian had seen this scene more than once on the battlefield. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers controlled strings and fired at the enemy formation at the same time. However, what he saw on the battlefield in the past was much inferior to what he saw today.
"Oh my God, it's so amazing!" Tang Ping and Yan Xuan were stunned.
"It's quite impressive, but...why didn't those trees shoot arrows in the first place?" Lu Pingchuan was a little confused.
"Wait until the enemy gets deep before taking action. Only in this way can you guarantee a one-hit kill," Li Jian said.
Qian Chao shook his head gently in shock. He didn't expect that he would choose such a dangerous place for his first plan to deal with someone else!
