On top of the twin peaks, a dark-faced man sat on a large smooth bluestone slab with his legs crossed, holding a porcelain jar and pouring low-quality wine into his mouth. He also took a bite of barbecue from time to time. He was so happy.
There is a group of little monsters under the bluestone talking about the latest strange things, mostly about that weird village.
According to the information they received, this village has been around for nine months. There were monsters who came to investigate before, but they didn't get any benefits, so they ignored it. Anyway, after the village appeared, the spiritual energy was strong, and it was a big advantage to practice nearby.
Two months later, a powerful monster suddenly appeared. It went to the village to provoke him and escaped unharmed, and even brought back a shocking news.
There is a foundation-building holy medicine in that village!
It is difficult for monsters to develop spiritual intelligence. After they have spiritual intelligence, they are confused and confused, and only a few have the opportunity to practice it. Most of the monsters in the world are in the Qi training stage. They can speak human words, walk on two feet, and use simple weapon moves.
This place was originally a remote place. People and monsters with a little bit of skill looked down upon this place. After they gained skills, they naturally wanted to find a place with better resources for development. As time went by, this place became more and more in decline.
Since the gods created order, Tianfu has become a ruling institution, integrating the forces of the world, and there has been a kingdom dedicated to monsters in the world. In the southwest, it is the southern part of Jiaozhou among the five states in the world.
But from the Huanglin to the Demon Kingdom, one must go through the entire Longzhou from south to north, and then pass through half of Jiaozhou. In the middle is a large area of human territory.
Nowadays, the relationship between humans and monsters is not too tense, but the local forces will never allow monsters that have not cultivated human form to scare the civilians under their rule and affect their public order.
Mortals can't tell how powerful a monster is, they can only judge based on their superficial appearance.
For this kind of mountain goblin, the local warriors and troops along the road naturally make extermination their first choice.
Cultivation as a human being has become the only option to leave this place
If you want to cultivate the human form, you must form the inner elixir in the body, which is the demon elixir. Compared with humans, it is the mysterious realm. The two are the same.
To cultivate the inner elixir, you need to solidify your foundation and purify your own true energy. The purer your strength, the smoother the true energy will flow, and the greater the chance of success. This is a prerequisite for monsters to cultivate the inner elixir.
The golden eggs in the village are the holy medicine that can reshape the body, stabilize the foundation, and refine the true energy. If anyone takes one, he can dissolve the hidden wounds all over his body, remove impurities, and produce pure true energy. It is no longer a luxury to improve one's strength within a short period of time and become a human being.
It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the monsters here.
Every three months, the village will give the golden eggs produced to the young girls who want to go out for training. The monsters chased them many times but failed to catch them.
Without stopping, the Demon King directly led his men to rob it, but both of them were injured and came back seriously injured. It is said that he killed a guardian spirit.
It must be time for young people to go out for training recently.
The black-faced man integrated the information and came to a clear understanding.
The monsters in the mountains are ignorant and a bunch of fools.
From their descriptions, this village should be the legendary Tianyuan Secret Realm, a place where gods send messengers to people. This group of fools actually want to rob someone, which is really unreasonable.
Those young people who go out to practice should have spiritual roots, and they are all geniuses that are unique in ten thousand.
He would not let go of this good opportunity to get close to the gods.
He took out something like a token from his arms. It was as crystal clear as jade and felt soft in his hand, like glutinous rice cake.
But this is actually a breath of the god, which he got from a monster, and it should be the proof of the guardian spirit.
Since one of the guardian spirits is gone, let me take his place.
The black-faced man no longer hesitated and integrated the jade token into his body.
The glutinous rice-shaped token turned into several threads, penetrated into the black-faced man's body, and merged into his limbs.
When he opened his eyes again, he exuded the same aura as Mr. Chicken and Mr. Goose.
The black-faced man kicked aside the little monsters around him and walked down the mountain to the village. He wanted to talk to the guardian spirit in Tianyuan Secret Realm.
The black-faced man used his skills to reach the entrance of the village, but he did not dare to move forward easily.
He was also not sure whether his guardian spirit certificate would be useful.
Move your steps lightly, and penetrate into the barrier little by little.
Nothing happened.
He put his hand in again and waved.
Still nothing happened.
He felt relieved and stepped in.
Unexpectedly, a sudden change occurred. The air in the barrier seemed to be compressing around him, and the pressure increased sharply.
The zhenqi in his body did not respond. No matter how hard he exerted his strength, the demon pill remained motionless.
The black-faced man was horrified and felt that his life was over.
But he really didn't want to die, so he tried his best to move his body.
He seemed to be in a swamp, with huge resistance every time he moved, and the force compressing him around him was getting stronger and stronger.
Finally he couldn't bear it anymore, his hands and feet went limp and he lay on the ground.
But this force did not let go of him, and continued to exert pressure, reaching through his flesh and bones to reach the inner elixir. The inner alchemy kept trembling under the pressure of that force, unable to maintain the stability of the true energy.
The black-faced man's body twisted, his mane grew crazily, and his nose and ears became much larger, revealing his prototype.
He turned out to be a big black pig with strong limbs.
When he showed his prototype, the pressure around him suddenly dissipated, and the power of the inner alchemy could be mobilized.
He stood up, shook the dirt off his body, and thought:
"Is this a test from the gods? I should have passed it."
"God is really overbearing."
"If I kill someone here, will I be killed directly?"
"Forget it, for the sake of the iron rice bowl, I'll be patient for a while and see what kind of connections there are in this village."
He had a plan in his mind, and wandered around the village swaggering, attracting the astonishment of the villagers. But no one stepped forward to take it away. The way people and animals in this village get along seems to be very harmonious.
The village is not big, and if you just walk around, you will find a large open space in the center of the village and an obviously distinctive room.
That is naturally the village's ancestral hall.
Mr. Chicken and Mr. Goose already knew it when it entered the village to activate the magic circle, and waited for a long time.
"This strong man, please come into the house and talk in detail."
Mr. Goose turned sideways and opened his right wing to invite the wild boar spirit into the house.
"We all use our own race as our surname. My surname is Russian and my last name is Kang. This is my eldest brother, whose only name is An."
The black-faced man thought that the two of them should be guardian spirits, and then they would most likely be colleagues in the future, so they couldn't be indifferent.
"My surname is Zhu, and my single name has the character for auspiciousness."
I originally wanted to bow, but the current appearance is really inconvenient, so I can only use a more affectionate tone to show my friendliness.
"My little brother has been along the way, but after hearing about the deeds of the two eldest brothers, he admires them very much."
Ji An and Ekang knew what he was talking about. The demon king was so powerful that he coerced the nearby demons to attack the village. The force was huge, but they did not take advantage. In the end, they retreated seriously injured.
The two guardian spirits already knew that the wild boar spirit was a transformed monster when he activated the magic circle. Even the monster king may not be his opponent.
Just listen to his compliments, but they are just a way of getting closer, and you don't know whether they are friends or foes.
Ji An didn't beat around the bush and asked:
"Brother Zhu, there is something familiar about you. You must have been in contact with our nephew. I wonder how it is now?"
"It's a black dog, with yellow eyebrows. He doesn't look very old, but he has pretty good abilities..." Zhu Ji recalled the details.
"Yes, you have seen him. Where is he now?"
Zhu Ji was punished at the entrance of the village. He was afraid of the gods. At this time, he did not dare to lie casually. He considered his words, showed a sad look, and said:
"He has fallen off the cliff and is nowhere to be found."
The two guardian spirits had been prepared for a long time, but at this time they were still feeling uncomfortable.
"Presumably he was knocked off the cliff by the demon king." O'Kang continued to ask.
"Yes, it's the Demon King." Zhu Ji thought to himself, I am indeed considered the Demon King now.
"Then how did Brother Zhu know?" Ji An had some doubts. Now that the certificate is on the wild boar, something must have happened in the meantime.
"I heard that a demon king gathered a group of demons to discuss important matters, so I came here to find him."
"I didn't know it was a scam. The demon king killed all the demons who came to help and drained their blood essence to recover his injuries and improve his cultivation."
"Unfortunately, your nephew was targeted by the Demon King. In order to prevent his body from being used by the Demon King, I pushed him off the cliff."
"I would like to apologize. Although I have formed the inner elixir, I have only just completed it. I have not accumulated enough true energy. I am no match for the demon king."
"My little brother gave me the certificate before he died."
After saying that, he released the certificate aura in his body.
It was the aura that belonged exclusively to the guardian spirit and could not be forced. Only creatures with the same essence could inherit it. This made Ji An and O'Kang believe his words.
"Brother Zhu, with this certificate, you will be the guardian spirit of this village, and we are our own."
When Zhu Ji heard this, his joy was beyond words.
Ji An murmured in his heart, why did a master of this level favor a small mountain village? Golden eggs were no longer useful to a transformed monster like him. Why was he so happy?
Zhu Ji was overjoyed and immediately said that the nephews of his two brothers were my nephews, and he must kill the demon king to avenge his nephews.
He did not tell the whole story that he had killed the demon king, but used this matter as a bargaining chip, hoping to completely gain the trust of the two guardian spirits.
The two guardian spirits were indeed happy and became closer to Zhu Ji. Presumably they will be even more enthusiastic when they see the corpse of the Demon King.
The two parties had a great conversation and chatted a lot.
Ji An and Ekang complained from time to time, saying that they had lost seven spiritual roots in the past three years.
Zhu Ji heard the words and comforted him, thinking that this iron rice bowl was not so easy to win.
After a while, Zhu Ji said goodbye and left.
"Brothers, it's going to be a long night and a lot of dreams. I'll go to the Demon Mountain to investigate first to see how deep the Demon King is, and then we'll talk about it."
"Brother, be careful along the way, go early and come back early!" The two guardian spirits said goodbye to him.
Seeing that Zhu Ji had gone far, O'Kang sighed:
"The demon king stole other people's essence and blood, and his true energy was mixed. He destroyed his own core foundation with his own hands, and it is difficult to make any progress. Now with the help of Brother Zhu, the crisis in the village can be relieved."
Ji An still had doubts and warned:
"Let's not let down our guard. I always feel a little strange and can't see what this Brother Zhu wants."
"yes, Sir."
When Zhu Ji left the village, he had a rough and turbulent journey and left as if he was running away.
When they arrived at the big bluestone at the top of Demon King Mountain, the four pig trotters collapsed and lay on top.
A chill ran down his spine and he broke out in a cold sweat. He felt like he was on the verge of death.
When he first entered Tianyuan Secret Realm, he just felt comfortable all over. After a long time, he actually had a ridiculous idea in his heart.
He wants to settle there and protect the village for all his life.
He seemed to be assimilated into the Tianyuan Secret Realm.
Is the power of the gods too powerful, affecting his mind? What is the medium? That certificate?
After thinking about it, I always feel that there is something evil about this.
Zhu Ji no longer hesitated, stood up, transformed into a human form, crossed his legs and performed exercises, trying to separate the certificate.
He tried several times, but there was no response from the breath. It seemed to be intertwined with the whole body. You have me in you, and you in me, completely integrated.
Zhu Ji panicked.
Turning around and seeing the little demon nearby, he suddenly remembered something.
He stood up, knocked a little demon to the ground, and asked:
"When did you say that village appeared?"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, calm down your anger."
"Say it!"
"Been around for nine months."
"What?!"
Why was it different from what Ji An said? Zhu Ji looked like a madman and reached out to catch another monster in his hand.
"Is he telling the truth? Is it really nine months?"
"It's nine...nine months. That village used to be a deserted forest."
He recalled some legends about Tianyuan Secret Realm.
Recalling the performance of Ji An and Ekang, they have become one with the village. Their concept of the world is completely different from that of real people, and the information they know is incomplete. For example, they know the nearby geography, as if they have lived here for generations. They are the same as the natives, but the time is completely different.
Their memory is missing.
Zhu Ji felt that his hands and feet were weak. It was not an iron job at all, and he actually put himself in danger.
This certificate is a hot potato and must be thrown away.
After being at a loss for a while, he suddenly yelled at the monsters: "Go to the bottom of the cliff and get that dog back for me!"
