"Haha, you two are worrying too much. If that's the case, then please do it." The expression of the old man in black robe suddenly became indifferent. He flipped his palms and two more storage bags appeared out of thin air. He said with a half-smile but not a smile: " There are 36,000 spirit stones in each of these two storage bags, which can be considered a little bit of my heart."
"Uh... Senior, didn't you give too much? When the junior signed the "Inner Demon Contract" with fellow Taoist fellow 'Lai Yongjun', they agreed that the remuneration and commission would only be half of this amount. If you rashly ask for more, wouldn't it be a violation of the oath? That's a huge cost. Suffering from the backlash of inner demons!" Zhou Jun and Li Mei suddenly felt that the other party was doing it deliberately.
"Haha, you two are worrying too much. I have no sense of belonging to the Lai family over there, and besides, I have a grudge against them for killing their children, so how can we generalize?" The old man in black robe also looked solemn and said: " Therefore, since there is no master-disciple relationship between you and me, we might as well sell our favors, what do you two think?"
"Uh... In that case, I would like to thank you, senior, for the generous reward! Haha/giggle." Zhou Jun and Li Mei happily accepted Lai Wuyun's reward.
Next, the two parties tasted the spiritual fruit and drank tea while chatting. Whether it was strange stories from all over the world, various secrets in the "cultivation world", or their respective cultivation techniques and insights, they could chat more and more. The more enthusiastic they became, the old man immediately looked at the two of them with admiration.
"I didn't expect that the two little friends learned from the 'Changbai Shuangsha'? It's no wonder!" The old man in black robe finally got the answer after all kinds of insinuations.
"I wonder if seniors have ever heard that more than a thousand years ago, there was a 'Dan-Jie Dan monk' named Jiang in your sect who was forced to leave the sect because of the betrayal of his Taoist companion and almost became a demon?"
"Oh? How do you two know about that senior?" Lai Wuyun suddenly looked puzzled and said: "If that senior is still here, I'm afraid he would have given birth to a baby long ago!"
"Uh... to be honest, the 'sect mission' we are going to perform this time is to investigate the 'descendants' of that senior?"
"Oh? How do you say this? Could it be that you two little friends have heard something about the Jiang family? I am quite interested in their descendants."
"Haha/giggle, senior is joking, it's just that a 'Cultivation Family' with the surname Jiang suddenly appeared on the territory of the Bad Sect more than a thousand years ago."
"Oh, that's it! Could it be that the two young friends suspect that this 'Chiang family' is not loyal enough to your sect, and are worried that the big tail will not be lost?"
"Haha/Gaga, are you kidding, senior? If this small family dares to openly disobey our sect, we can easily wipe out the entire Jiang family with blood!"
"Haha, is it true or not? I see that you two are not very young, but your tone is quite serious. Do you know the background of the Jiang family? Hehe."
Next, Zhou Jun and Li Mei learned some of the resumes of "Jiang Yiwu", the ancestor of "Jiang Huadao", who practiced in the "Tianyin Sect" through insinuations, and why the Jiang family has been thinking about it for more than a thousand years. The reason for returning to the "Tianyin Sect" is nothing more than a "heirloom treasure".
At that time, "Jiang Yiwu" was jointly suppressed for offending the powerful people of the sect. Even though his cultivation had reached the "half-step fake infant" state of "true elixir stage perfection" at that time, it was of no avail. He had no choice but to leave the sect voluntarily, but There is another treasure placed in the secret room of the cave that cannot be taken away in the future.
That treasure is a "suona", its grade is unknown but its combat power is powerful. As long as it is blown, it can emit a "soul-eating demonic sound". It can easily resolve the attacks of souls and absorb the opponent's soul power. It can easily restrain "ghosts". However, due to the " "Tiandao Inscription" is imprinted on it and cannot be stored in "Storage Bag" or "Nai Ring".
What's even weirder is that the treasure has the attributes of "space" and "time" and can hide and wander in a specific area. Because it was once refined by "Jiang Yiwu" with his essence, blood and mind, it has a trace of "spiritual imprint" "And psychics can even automatically choose their master. Only the descendants of the Jiang family can sense and receive it.
Therefore, the inner disciples of the "Tianyin Sect" occasionally see this "Soul-eating Suona" appearing in the door and it disappears. Only after the descendants of the Jiang family entered the "Tianyin Sect" did this treasure appear. Will appear out of thin air and automatically choose the master. Once this descendant of the Jiang family dies, the treasure will return to the mountain gate.
Therefore, how could this kind of "ancient treasure" that even the "Jin Dan Zhenren" and even the "Nascent Soul Zhenjun" covet would not be missed by the descendants of the Jiang family?
After understanding this, Zhou Jun and Li Mei suddenly realized it, and the senior officials of the "Tianyin Sect" were also happy to see the success and regarded it as a propaganda to recruit disciples.
But the two of them didn't take it seriously. They were just interested. Then they visited Lai Wuyun's cave and briefly learned about the "Tianyin Sect". After all, such a large sect would not be convenient for outside monks to wander around at will. Otherwise, It is regarded as an invasion by a foreign enemy and can be killed directly.
After a brief understanding, Zhou Jun and Li Mei learned that the "Tianyin Sect" is divided into many branch inheritances, namely the "Yin Corpse Way", "Yin Fire Way", "Blood Refining Way", "Netherworld Bone Way" and "Ghost Confusion Way" , "The Way of Controlling Ghosts", "The Way of Evil Ghosts", "The Way of Underworld", "The Way of Reincarnation" and "The Way of Corpse Jie Xian", each channel has an "old monster".
However, those "old monsters in the transformation stage" did not appear in public, but went out to travel and explore the outside world. Even if the sect needed to come back to take charge when major changes occurred, everyone would take turns coming back to shock the "place". Therefore, the "Elder Nascent Soul" has the final say within the sect.
The "elite disciples" in the "Elixir Formation Stage" can only serve as "high-level deacons" or "deacon elders", managing the daily affairs of the lineage or assisting the head of the sect.
This situation is similar to other "cultivation sects", so it's not surprising. And Zhou Jun and Li Mei also got the answers they wanted.
However, the only thing that makes people confused is why the "Tianyin Sect", as a pure "ghost cultivation sect", does not arrange the inside and outside of the sect into a ghastly "ghost world", but instead builds it into a "heaven on earth". Could it be that Is it just for advertising, or is there another secret behind it?
In fact, what Zhou Jun and Li Mei don't know is that deep underground in each "Tiantong Peak", there is an interconnected "dark world", which is like a "ghost space" and is specially used to store massive corpses. , because it is necessary to maintain the cultivation of many disciples of a huge ghost way sect!
Because there was a big gap in cultivation between the two sides, the so-called "exchange of experiences" was just a formality. It was not until three days later that Zhou Jun and Li Mei said goodbye to the three Lai family members. Under the guidance of two "boys", He left the "Cave Mansion" and successfully flew out of the "Tianyin Sect" formation barrier.
In this way, the two of them did not encounter any members of the Jiang family in the "Tianyin Sect". Even though many of the children of the Jiang family who came here to practice in the past, due to various reasons, either died of old age, fell, or were unable to obtain the knowledge due to their low cultivation level. The "Qi Ling" has been recognized for a long time, so the children of the Jiang family have succeeded one after another.
On the way back, when the two passed over the "Ordos Desert", they decided to go to the "Mausoleum of Genghis Khan" to see if any of the disciples recruited by the "Yinfeng Sect" were Jiang family disciples. After all, the "Yinfeng Sect" is the "Tianyin Sect" The outer gate, and the Chiang family coming from the east, must pass through this place first.
In the square in front of the "Mausoleum of Genghis Khan" that originally covered an area of 1,000 acres, tens of thousands of young men and women were separated according to their respective tribes, waiting to be tested by the "sect deacons" using special "magic tools" to test their "spirituals". Roots", and most of these people come from "Hetao Grassland" and "Mobei Region".
Since the "Hetao Grassland" geographically belongs to the "Longxi Region" and the "Ordos Desert" belongs to the "Mobei Region", the nomadic tribes from these two regions have never dealt with each other and have conflicts with each other, which has led to Among the vast number of new disciples, no one obeys anyone.
Therefore, in order to ease the conflict between the two, the "Yin Feng Sect" made a major decision, that is, no matter what kind of "spiritual root qualification" and "martial artist" of any age group, if they want to get started, they must participate in " "Trial of Life and Death", only those who can survive can be qualified to join the "Yinfeng Sect".
The "trial venue" is located in the "underground palace" of the "Mausoleum of Genghis Khan". Dozens of supreme elders from the "Tianyin Sect" worked together to use "great magic power" to forcibly open up a huge space with a radius of 100,000 miles. It is equivalent to a special "small world" and is also the key to solving problems.
This "space" contains half sea and half land, including green mountains and green waters, as well as desert grasslands; both mortal towns and monks' caves; both spiritual herbs and elixirs, as well as spiritual mines, spiritual materials, demons, demons, ghosts, and monsters. , spirits, spirits and various "ancient inheritances" are enough to inspire "destined people"!
Therefore, whether it is a "Qi Refining Spirit Disciple" or a "Foundation Building True Cultivator", as long as he is not a "new disciple" transferred from the "Tianyin Sect" headquarters, even a "loose cultivator", after passing the "Spiritual Root Qualification" After the test, they all have to enter the "Trial Field of Life and Death" to participate in the assessment in order to find opportunities and temper their "Tao Heart."
This is a disguised encouragement of murder, robbery and violent rape, because there are no rules in the "proving ground". As long as you can win, all means are reasonable, legal and compliant, and in the end "the one who remains is king"! Therefore, the ferocious and violent nature of the grassland people is vividly reflected here.
The "trial" lasts for one month. During the period, those who die in various battles or traps, especially "Qi Refining Spirit Disciples", will automatically have their bodies slowly refined into "Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi" by the "Space Formation". As for " The corpses of "Foundation Builders and True Cultivators" will be secretly moved deep under the mausoleum to "raise ghosts and refine corpses."
This is the "long-term plan" made by "Tianyin Sect" and its outer sect "Yinfeng Sect" to solve the shortage of cultivation resources. After all, any "heavenly materials" and "earth treasures" are useless to "ghost monks". It is not as valuable as a large number of "corpses" and "souls", but encouraging killing in disguise is the "king way"!
Although, for a powerful "Foundation Building True Cultivator", as long as he is not attacked by "people of the same rank", his life is basically not in danger, but once he covets various "treasures" and "inheritance", he may They will die from powerful "magic formations" and various "traps", or even be "fallen into trouble".
And when Zhou Jun and Li Mei rode the "Thousand Paper Cranes" and overlooked the strange scene below from high in the sky, they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. I wonder if the "Chiang Family" is here? If you are really mixed up, you will have to bite the bullet and compete. After all, the road to immortality is like this.
"I dare to ask you two fellow Taoists, do you want to come and participate in this 'Trial of Life and Death'?" Just when Zhou Jun and Li Mei fell from the sky and landed on the huge square at the gate of the "Mausoleum of Genghis Khan", there were clusters in the east and west. The disciples from various tribes in the grassland all cast curious glances, but there was also a lot of vigilance and hostility.
"Haha/haha, this fellow Taoist 'Deacon', we do have this plan." Zhou Jun and Li Mei exchanged glances with each other and said, "I wonder if there are any contestants from the 'Liaodong region' this time. A descendant of the 'Chiang family'? If the Chiang family were here, we would definitely participate."
"Haha, the two fellow Taoists were joking. When we open the 'Trial of Life and Death', we are facing the entire 'Cultivation World'. As long as we feel that we still have some ability, we will choose to come in to find opportunities and fortune. Besides, it only opens every ten years. Once, there is no need to register personal information, life and death are left to fate..."
"According to this, it is in vain for us to ask?"————"Hey, the two Taoist friends have great auras and profound cultivation. You will know when you go in!"
