Before Ji Ning left, he also went to Beishan Black Tiger Mansion to say goodbye to his friend Beishan Baiwei. Beishan Baiwei knew that Ji Ning was going out to work, and had been asking him for a long time. He also knew how dangerous it was to go out and work hard. But to become a real man of the hour on this land, one must go through cruel hardships.
In a wilderness outside Anchan City.
"Kakakaka~~~"
A green dragon puppet suspended in mid-air and quickly transformed, its body automatically unfolded, and turned into a broad dragon-headed ship.
Ji Ning looked up at the dragon-headed ship and looked at Mu Zishuo on one side in wonder: "Junior Brother Shuo, can this puppet of yours transform? It's really amazing."
"You're a layman, you don't understand the art of puppetry at all. Transformation is just a small skill." Mu Zishuo was very proud, "Let's go, the Anchan branch of Yinglong Guard is in the Chilong Mountains. Although it's not far from here... But controlling the magic weapon to fly by yourself is still not as easy as letting the puppet fly by itself."
Ji Ning smiled and jumped onto the dragon-headed ship with Bai Shuize.
Mu Zishuo stood on the bow of the dragon-headed ship with great pride. The dragon-headed ship quickly flew into the clouds and mist, flying at high speed. Muzishuo even said: "My puppet has its own Yuan Gathering Talisman Array, so it can fly at such a speed. There is no need to consume energy at all. Simply absorbing the energy of heaven and earth is enough."
"I have long heard that Junior Uncle Qionghua praised you and said how talented you are in the Way of Puppetry. In the academy, you mostly talk about Taoism, but I have never been able to see Junior Brother Shuo's strength in this aspect. This time I am going to join Yinglongwei... ...I want to take a closer look." Ji Ning said with a smile.
"Just take a look." Mu Zishuo raised his head, very proud and confident.
Ji Ning laughed.
Although I have gotten to know many senior brothers and sisters in the Black and White Academy for more than three years, I also have good friendships with Senior Sister Jiulian, Senior Brother Xueying and others. However, among the group of classmates, the one closest to Ji Ning's heart is Junior Brother Mu Zishuo, who started with him. Maybe because of his young age, Junior Brother Mu Zishuo has been immersed in the way of puppets since he was a child, and he does not have the memory of past lives like Ji Ning. So you are very immature in dealing with the world!
Simply put, Mu Zishuo is more childlike!
If you like it, you just like it, if you are angry, you are angry, you can't hide your feelings! When he first started, he lost two games in a row at Lun Dao Hall, which made Mu Zishuo extremely angry. If the city was a little deeper, the joy and anger would not be so obvious. Strictly speaking...it's just too innocent.
It was very easy for Ji Ning to get along with such a junior brother.
"Here we are, the Chilong Mountain Range is here." Mu Zishuo pointed forward with his eyes lit up.
Ji Ning looked from a distance and could see the rolling dragon-shaped mountain range through the clouds and mist. The entire dragon-shaped mountain range was covered with a fiery red color. From a distance, it looked like a fiery red divine dragon! The aura is also particularly terrifying, even scarier than the auras of the great formations blessed by the immortals of the Black and White Academy over the years.
"As expected of one of the top two forces in Anchan County." Ji Ning exclaimed.
"The two most powerful forces are the Beishan clan of Anchanhou and the Anchan branch of Yinglongwei." Mu Zishuo also marveled, "And this formation is definitely far better than me from a distance. Black and White Academy. As expected of Ying Longwei, this is just a branch. It makes people shudder to think that every county in the endless land under the control of the Great Xia Dynasty has such a branch."
Ji Ning nodded: "Yes."
The Beishan clan of Anchanhou, and the entire Anchan County is his fiefdom. It has existed since the era of gods and demons until now, and it has naturally accumulated an incredible amount of strength.
Yinglongwei, on the other hand, is extremely powerful on the surface, and can receive support from other branches at any time, even from the Yinglongwei headquarters in the 'Capital of the Great Xia Dynasty'! Sending out hundreds of thousands of immortals was nothing more than a small matter to the Yinglong Guards who monitored the entire Daxia Dynasty.
"It is precisely because it is so powerful and represents the Great Xia Dynasty! That's why we want to become the Yinglong Guard." Ji Ning said, "Let's go, let's go there."
"Yeah." Mu Zishuo nodded.
The dragon-headed ship immediately swooped down and flew directly towards the Red Dragon Mountains.
…
The entire Chilong Mountain Range is like a giant dragon, and the position of the dragon's head is Yingke Peak.
Ji Ning and the others swooped down in their big puppet ship and landed directly on a flat ground on Yingke Peak. After receiving the Qinglong puppet, Ji Ning, Bai Shuize, and Mu Zishuo all landed. But at this time, two Zifu monks wearing fiery red armor came over from a distance, and shouted with a cold face: "Come to my Chilong Mountain Range, what are you doing?"
Ji Ning and Mu Zishuo both felt that the other party was domineering, but this was the Anchan branch of Yinglong Guard, and they couldn't be arrogant.
"We are here to join the Yinglong Guard." Ji Ning said.
"Oh?" The two Zifu monks in flaming red armor glanced at each other, and the tall and thin monk at the head said coldly, "Then follow me."
Ji Ning, Mu Zishuo, and Bai Shuize also followed.
A few people walking on the mountain road feel like it's flat ground. You can often see some Zifu monks in flaming red armor on this guest peak.
"Listen up, you two." The tall and thin monk leading the way said coldly as he walked, "There are many people who want to join our Yinglong Guard. But before joining, you are not Yinglong Guard! So! You just have to obey the rules."
Mu Zishuo frowned upon hearing this.
Ji Ning was relatively calm.
"Remember, first, you are not Yinglong Guards, so fighting is prohibited within the Chilong Mountain Range. Once you violate it, you will be killed without mercy!"
"Two, the only place you can go in the entire Chilong Mountain Range is Yingke Peak. If you trespass elsewhere, you will be killed without mercy!"
"Third, you cannot destroy the formation restrictions on Yinggu Peak. Anyone who violates them will still be killed without mercy."
After saying this, the tall and thin man didn't look at Ji Ning at all.
Mu Zishuo's face turned a little ugly, and he sent a message: "Senior Brother Ji Ning, this Ying Long Guard has too many rules and is too arrogant. After all, we are also disciples of the Black and White Academy, but they treat us like this."
"Don't say he is a disciple of the Black and White Academy, even if he is a disciple of An Chanhou's Beishan clan, it is useless here." Ji Ning had read the intelligence compilation book and knew some of the rules of Yinglong Guard.
…
Ji Ning, Mu Zishuo, and Baishui Ze followed all the way, and soon arrived at the back mountain of Yingke Peak. There were wooden and stone houses scattered everywhere on the back mountain.
"Look." The tall and thin monk pointed to the large number of wooden houses and stone houses in the distance, "The people living in those houses are all those who want to join the Yinglong Guard. These stone houses and wooden houses are also left by some of the predecessors who came to join the Yinglong Guard in the past. You can choose any of the available ones to stay temporarily. Once enough people are gathered, you can go to the Prison Mountain Wilderness."
After saying that, the tall and thin monk turned around and left quickly.
"Who is this person? He is so arrogant." Mu Zishuo muttered.
"It's the Yinglong Guard Internal Guard Reserve Army." Ji Ning had a lot of contact with Beishan Baiwei and knew a lot.
"Yinglong Guard's inner guard?" Mu Zishuo asked in surprise, "Yinglong Guard's inner guard?"
Ji Ning nodded: "Of course, those of us who join Yinglongwei are very free. We usually wander around, and occasionally appear when we need to perform tasks! But Yinglongwei still needs some long-term stations or some very trustworthy military guards. , so there is Yinglongwei inner guard!"
"Yinglongwei's internal guards are just like soldiers. They have a strict system and many rules. They are not as free as we are." Ji Ning said, "You know, Yinglongwei has a reserve army! Most of the general internal guards are in Selected from the reserve army.”
"Oh!" Mu Zishuo suddenly realized.
"Although their freedom is limited, they are the most trusted by the Great Xia Dynasty. They can learn more magical powers, secret techniques, and get a lot of treasures from Yinglong Guards. And even if we become Yinglong Guards, We also need to carry out the mission in order to get some benefits." Ji Ning said, "If there is a loss, there will be a gain."
Mu Zishuo nodded continuously: "I don't want to be that inner guard. There are a lot of rules. It's not about cultivating immortals, it's about suffering."
"Everyone has different choices." Ji Ning smiled and sighed, "Those with higher talents naturally have more choices... and can be free. But those with less talents naturally give up some other things in order to exchange for some top methods, secret techniques, etc."
"Yeah, that's right." Mu Zishuo nodded thoughtfully.
The two of them walked forward while talking.
Those stone and wooden houses are very simple and have a small yard and living quarters, and some of them are already occupied by immortal cultivators.
"That's it." Mu Zishuo pointed to a field of weeds in front of him, pointing far away, and suddenly a stream of light flew out. The stream of light quickly expanded and changed on the ground, and soon formed a rather elegant courtyard.
"Puppet's Mansion?" Ji Ning was surprised.
The way of puppets is indeed mysterious. Whether it is chariots, warships, humans, beasts, mansions, or even cities, etc., everything can be created through the method of puppets.
"Who knows how long it will take to go out and work hard? It's so unsafe in the wilderness. It will take a long time for even Wanxiang Zhenren to break into the 'Mu Yue Mansion' I built myself." Mu Zishuo said proudly.
"Not bad, not bad." Ji Ning smiled and walked into it.
…
As a result, Ji Ning, Mu Zishuo, and Bai Shuize all lived in this 'Mu Yue Mansion'. As time passed, some immortal cultivators in the nearby wooden houses and stone houses also discovered that there was one more person living in the puppet house. Of the mansion. But no one said much, but waited silently.
It was early in the morning more than a month after Ji Ning and the others arrived here.
"Everyone!" A powerful voice resounded like thunder in every stone house and wooden house instantly. Even the puppet mansion made by Mu Zishuo could not block the voice. The voice directly exploded in the ears of Ji Ning, Mu Zishuo, and Bai Shuize. .
"It's time to go to the Great Wilderness of Prison Mountain."
The sound rolled.
Ji Ning felt his chest suffocate, and his face changed: "What a terrifying strength, such strength... The person who can make me feel so irresistible now must be an immortal." Although he is not sure about Taoist Shangyuan Shen, he can't As for having this feeling of no resistance, it should be an immortal.
Ji Ning and Mu Zishuo both walked out. Mu Zishuo waved his hand and put away the whole puppet thing.
At this moment, figures came out of other stone houses and wooden houses, all of whom wanted to join the Yinglong Guard.
