winter!
!
After the drum beat once, Guan Luoyang beat the second beat.
The remaining monsters in the city have already reacted, and they have used their own magical powers to fight, and their auras have changed.
The demonic energy and mana are flowing, and you can see all kinds of lights spread out in the streets and alleys, colorful, and demonic shadows take off.
This clone of Guan Luoyang came to Southern Xinjiang specifically to invite people, and it was instilled with a lot of mana, which can be compared to ordinary people who have just stepped into the realm of earthly immortals. Moreover, his realm is so advanced that the combat power he can truly exert is even higher than this. level.
He didn't care what kind of response those monsters had to do, he just displayed the artistic conception of casting the core seal and beat the big drum three times in a row.
Although the monsters in the city have various magical powers, except for the bear just now, there are no other monsters that can fight against the earth immortal.
After the sound of these drums spread, the remaining monsters finally couldn't resist. They were either shocked to death or knocked unconscious. The light of the monsters everywhere in the city dimmed.
Everyone in Shigu Academy originally thought that all was lost, but suddenly there was a bright future. They were surprised and happy, and they quickly stepped forward to express their thanks.
Elder Duoxue stared at Guan Luoyang and suddenly said: "Is the donor the brother Guan Dao who foiled the Sima family's conspiracy in the East China Sea and captured the master of the Huangquan World Cave?"
Guan Luoyang restored the big drum, held it in his hand, floated down from the eighteen-sided broken drum, and said, "Who are you?"
"The poor monk is a disciple of Baoriwang Temple. He has learned many Dharma names. Senior Brother Duoyan once sent news from Yongjia City, so the poor monk knows a little about Taoist Brother's deeds."
Elder Duoxue said happily, "After the abbot learned about Brother Guan Dao's deeds, he also wanted to invite Brother Dao to my Baoriwang Temple as a guest. However, he thought that the East China Sea was busy and it was inconvenient to invite him. Since Brother Dao has arrived in southern Xinjiang, if he has time, Please come to the temple for a while."
Guan Luoyang remembered that there were six elders in Baoriwang Temple who were at the peak level of loose immortals. They happened to be of the same generation and were quite famous.
Talk a lot, hear a lot, have a lot of eyes, be superfluous, have a lot of mind, and learn a lot.
He is very talkative and knowledgeable, and now he is helping in Donghai. He is very capable, has a broad face, big ears, and kind eyes. Especially, he helps the people of Donghai after the disaster with some treatment and comfort. He looks very blessed on weekdays.
On the other hand, this learned elder's face turned green, his brows darkened, and he felt a bit unlucky.
"I will definitely go if I have time."
Guan Luoyang smiled and slapped the air with his palm.
Elder Duoxue felt warm all over, and the poisonous blood boiling in his body was immediately suppressed, and his whole body became peaceful.
It only took a few breaths for the green face of the elder to completely return to normal.
He touched his face and knew that the toxins in his body were directly resolved by the other party's magic power and superb methods. He quickly opened his mouth and spat out the locust: "Fellow Daoist Xu..."
Xu Hongzu didn't look sideways, took a step forward, raised his hands and said to Guan Luoyang: "Brother Taoist, I'm very kind to you, but the source of the monsters in this city seems to be deep in the Yugong Mountains. Within a few hours, the monsters came out. The more there are, the more important it is to resolve them as soon as possible.”
"The monsters have just died, but their souls are still there. Xu wants to ask Brother Taoist to use earthly immortal methods to detain the monster souls so that we can interrogate their origins."
In fact, souls do not necessarily need to be earthly or loose immortals. Even at the stage of a spiritual master, if you are proficient in the spiritual spells of the soul, you can cast spells to restrain the soul and raise ghosts.
However, Xu Hongzu tried secretly just now and found that the soul aura of these recently dead monsters was very obscure. He was a little unsure, so he had to ask Guan Luoyang to take action to avoid missing the opportunity.
Guan Luoyang shook his head and said, "It's useless."
"When I first came to the skies of Qiancheng Kingdom, I noticed a lot of panic and scattered thoughts. These madness, violence and panic, mixed with the magic power of the demons, formed a kind of mental miasma, which isolates the inside and outside."
"And these crazy panics, only a small part comes from the people in the city, but more comes from the monsters themselves."
Xu Hongzu was slightly startled: "Brother Dao, you mean that those monsters rushed into the city only when they were frightened?"
"Not just scared."
Guan Luoyang's eyes were deep, he thought for a moment, and said, "I mean, these monsters are all crazy, and they only have the desire to attack living creatures. It is useless for you to interrogate these monsters."
Several people around him frowned and fell into deep thought.
Guan Luoyang handed over the drum in his hand and said with a smile: "This drum is not inferior to the Earth Immortal magic weapon. Even the eighteen broken drums are similar to the Earth Immortal level formation flag. Moreover, the refining techniques are in the same line. The aura is connected with fellow Taoist, and if my prediction is correct, it should have been refined by your own hands."
"Fellow Daoist Song's reputation as a master of weapon refining is indeed well-deserved."
Song Changgeng took over his magic weapon and shook his head repeatedly: "Brother Taoist, you are exaggerating. Forgive me, is Brother Taoist really sure that these monsters are crazy?"
Guan Luoyang said: "Of course."
Now that I think about it, the behavior of these monsters is indeed a bit weird.
When evil spirits and monsters attack human cities, they often like to intimidate and tease. This is because when they eat people, they not only devour flesh and blood, but also capture a little bit of the soul and spirituality.
If a person falls into the most fearful or angry state, the benefits will be even greater after being eaten by these monsters.
The monsters that appeared in Qiancheng Kingdom did not communicate, tease, or ridicule, but just silently hunted and killed the people. Some of them did not even eat people at all, as if they were just keen on destruction.
The situation was critical before, so everyone didn't notice so much. Now that they were reminded, they recalled many strange things.
Song Changgeng thought for a while and had to admit Guan Luoyang's judgment, but what followed was even stronger confusion: "This is strange. Although monsters have innate magical powers, those magical powers are often related to their own race. , it is purely natural, and many of the magical powers that these monsters have used have shadows of the profound magic and righteous methods, and they are definitely not innate."
"Such magical powers are so exquisite that there is often no room for error in the process of using them. If they are all crazy, how can they still use these magical powers?"
Xu Hongzu, Duo Xue and others obviously also had this doubt.
Elder Duoxue even said: "Having said that, it is already very strange that so many monsters can display magical powers."
"Monsters are generally not very intelligent. When they understand the skills and magical powers, they are often more ferocious than sophisticated. It is precisely because of the difficulty of cultivation that so many monsters prefer blood sacrifices and blood food, cannibalizing humans or other monsters. , is the easiest way for them to feel progress and satisfaction.”
Someone listened to their words and interjected: "Could it be that they are not monsters, but demon monks?"
There are actually two types of monsters in this world.
Two thousand years ago, there was no Taoism in this world. Wild beasts were ordinary beasts. Warriors among humans could only lift a thousand pounds and run as fast as a fast horse.
After the Taoist teachings were passed down to the world, and immortals, demons, and gods began to quarrel, all kinds of wonderful auras were nourished in the world, which might allow beasts to open up their intelligence and become monsters.
Therefore, in this world, the history of "true monsters" is shorter than that of practitioners. They have no cultural inheritance of their own, and often exist in dependence on fairy and demon sects, or become mounts of incense gods, and their potential is not high.
The other type of demon refers to the great demon that becomes a great demon by imitating the true forms of gods, demons and beasts and gradually transforming its bloodline during the process of practicing skills.
If such a great demon has children, they will also be born with the characteristics of strange beasts.
Demon Emperor Yuancang of Beihai Demon Kingdom and Demon Lord Zhu Can of Floating Sky Golden City both followed this path.
In the pure demon kingdom in the righteous path, most of the demon tribes in it have human ancestors.
"If a demon monk dies, there is a half chance of turning back into a human body."
Elder Duoxue shook his head and said, "Look at these monsters, do any of them turn back into humans? Moreover, monster monks are all pursuing transformation into the blood of gods and demons, so how can they have such strange shapes?"
"I don't understand." The old monk sighed and suddenly said, "By the way, why did Brother Guan Dao come to southern Xinjiang?"
Guan Luoyang said: "I want to set up a large formation in the East China Sea. People from Dazhou recommended Daoist Xu to me, so I came to invite you."
Xu Hongzu said quickly: "Brother Taoist, save my life. If it is useful, Xu will never refuse."
Song Changgeng also said: "Although my formation skills are not as good as Brother Xu's, I do have some experience in refining formation weapons. If Brother Dao doesn't dislike it, I would also like to go and have a look.
"That's the best."
Guan Luoyang smiled, "But I like to meddle in other people's business the most. If I encounter these monsters, I will definitely take care of them and leave after there is a result."
"Since you said that the number of monsters in the city is constantly increasing, even though I have destroyed this group in the city, there should be a new group emerging in a while. I am sensing the whole city and will see if I can follow the clues. Go back to the source."
Xu Hongzu perked up and said, "Wonderful! This is the simplest way to trace the origin. We were so sad before, but we didn't expect it. We were so dizzy."
During the waiting period, everyone was not idle.
After Guan Luoyang mentioned a few words, those cultivators in Shigu Academy who still had fighting strength immediately dispersed and went to the city to deal with the corpses of monsters and appease the people.
For them, this is not unpaid labor. The body of the monster is itself a fortune, so they do it very carefully. After going out, they even call their friends and help some people who are sheltered in the formations of various houses. , also call out and do things together.
Guan Luoyang continued to chat with Xu Hongzu and the others, and mentioned the matter of Donghai a little bit.
When Xu, Song and others heard that a large formation was to be arranged to connect and coordinate the sea area of 10,000 miles, they were surprised and couldn't help but feel proud, and they talked very much.
After a moment, Guan Luoyang turned his eyes slightly, and sure enough he noticed another group of monsters pouring into the city, and flew away immediately.
When I arrived at the place, I saw several bison-like monsters standing up from among the ruins. The collapsed Uwa roof beams were trampled to pieces and were about to walk out.
Guan Luoyang waved his hand, and several bolts of lightning as thick as buckets fell from the sky, hitting these monsters. Even though they were rough-skinned and fleshy, they were hit on the spot until they were covered in smoke and fell down.
He used his magic power to push aside the ruins. After the blue light swept across, a large open space was cleared.
A huge tunnel entrance was revealed.
Xu, Song, and Duoxue had also caught up. When they saw this place, they were surprised and said, "This is the city lord's palace. How come there is such a big tunnel down here?"
Guan Luoyang has entered the tunnel. His feet are not touching the ground and he is floating three feet in the air. His body emits a soft light, illuminating the tunnel wherever he passes.
After Elder Duoxue entered, he looked at the surrounding rock walls and said: "This tunnel is probably a thousand years old. This poor monk understands."
Xu Hongzu was puzzled and asked him.
Elder Duoxue said: "Thousands of years ago, the Qiancheng Kingdom was just established. Although there was no city lord's palace at that time, it was still the residence of a leader. But at that time, the situation was chaotic and people's hearts were fighting. The so-called leader was busy day and night. Death is not uncommon."
"This tunnel should also be built to cope with the battle. Whether it is to evacuate the whole family from outside the city in times of danger, or when necessary, to transport troops from outside the city into the city through this open tunnel as cavalry, It's very possible."
Thousands of years ago, Earth Immortals and Loose Immortals were very rare, and the use of magic weapons was not common. It was not surprising that such tunnels were used in battles led by Qi Refiners.
If it were different now, it would be more practical to just find a business guild and buy a batch of earth escape talismans than to mobilize manpower to secretly dig such a large tunnel.
Elder Duoxue's guess was good. This tunnel indeed led outside the city to the depths of the Yugong Mountains.
However, the original exit of the tunnel can no longer be seen, because the place was smashed into a big pit.
There were pits and pits all around, including broken bows and arrows, bloodstains, and damaged armor and palace skirts.
Xu Hongzu whispered: "This is the armor of the city lord."
The city lord of Qiancheng Kingdom is also a Loose Immortal, cheerful and hospitable, and rich in wealth. Apart from being a bit lustful, his biggest hobby is to go hunting in the mountains with his beloved wife Meijuan and a group of guards.
Unfortunately, this time I encountered a large group of monsters, and even my wife and concubines ended up with no bones left.
"Amitabha."
Many elders read a few verses about salvation.
Guan Luoyang observed the traces around him and sensed the information left in the magnetic field. Combining the two, he already knew what happened before.
The city lord of Qiancheng Kingdom discovered a strange monster that he had never seen before while hunting. When the crows flew towards Qiancheng Kingdom, he sent a servant back to report the news, and he prepared to explore the source of the monster.
As a result, he ran into an overwhelming group of monsters and fled all the way here. He wanted to use the tunnels to hide back in the city, but the crazy monsters smashed many big holes into the place. They found the tunnels, chased him and killed him. .
As for where these monsters come from...
Guan Luoyang looked away and warned: "You three, don't follow me yet."
The three of them nodded in agreement, and then they saw Guan Luoyang turn into a blue light, cross the peaks in an instant, and disappear.
He fell down in the mountains and flew into a crack in the mountain. In the crack, he encountered several monsters that were rushing out, and he suppressed them easily.
When he arrived at the heart of the mountain, what appeared in front of him was a magnificent and open underground space.
The bottom of the mountain was hollowed out. The empty space was hundreds of feet high and supported by golden pillars.
The talismans extending from both ends of the pillar turned into golden ancient characters and were carved on the dome and ground.
There are thousands of stone platforms on the ground, and the outermost platforms are basically empty.
The platform in the inner circle is still intact, and there are sleeping monsters on the platform.
No, it is not a deep sleep, but a state of stasis. The magic spell on the platform has the effect of making the state of living beings become still.
Therefore, it is not only used to preserve these intact monsters, but also to preserve some corpses, human corpses, and monster corpses.
A lion that was cut in half, an arm that was amputated, an eyeball floating in the air with intact nerves behind it, only the upper body of a goat, and a wild boar that was cut open between the chest and abdomen.
Because they are stored on this stagnant platform, I don’t know how long it has passed, but the wounds on these things are still bright red.
Except for some traces of the monsters escaping, Guan Luoyang did not detect any signs of human activity.
He landed and stepped among these magic spells. He found that these spells were mottled and their effectiveness had been lost. They should have been more than two hundred years ago.
That's why those monsters made up of different monsters have a chance to escape, so they all look crazy.
Guan Luoyang walked to the innermost circle and counted down, there were close to eleven of these monsters, with the aura of earthly immortals. Although they did not have spiritual space or complete formations in their bodies, they seemed to possess some unique magical powers. .
His fingertips dispersed some thread-like electric light and connected it to the heads of these monsters that looked like earth immortals. After sensing them with all his heart, he found that their consciousness was also chaotic and crazy. None of them were awake. He couldn't help but shake his head.
After leaving this place and walking deeper, you can see bookshelves and cloud beds.
Paper was spread out on the table, and there were writings on the paper.
"...People, with many roots of wisdom and desires, should enter my demonic path. Unfortunately, their bodies are fragile and their minds are easily damaged. If they enter my demonic path, they will fight and kill each other. Only one of the thousand who can achieve success will survive."
Monsters are savage and tough, but they hate their ignorance. Half-demon reproduction is difficult.
Even those who have cultivated the true form of gods, demons and beasts, such as the son of the Demon Emperor, will still have far less understanding and talent than his father. "
"...Although Jueluo is an Earth Immortal, Xiaozhutian's secret secret of the Blood Dragon Curse is quite valuable, but his original intention is only to harvest endless vitality and endless sins. Although it will increase the population dramatically, it will destroy his spiritual wisdom.
Qingtian's talent was unparalleled, he was able to create the method of heaven and earth, and he also managed to compensate for the spiritual wisdom of all living beings. Unfortunately, he was susceptible to the power of reproduction and the benefits of growing wildly at an early age were not retained.
If the devil is to flourish, it is better to change the bloodline of hundreds of tribes, make them reproduce more, make them grow faster, make them cruel, and make them have extraordinary understanding..."
The aura contained in these handwritings has not shown any signs of weakening after more than two hundred years, and it is somewhat similar to the aura of the Death Feast of the Gods in Tianque.
Guan Luoyang has already interrogated the master of Canxiang Cave. Through Dong Ao's origin, age, and the incense gods in the Death Banquet Picture, he deduced that the corpse of the East China Sea Giant Demon and this magic weapon should be the arrangements left by Demon Lord Changsi.
Then this place should also be the trace left by Demon Lord Changsi.
This person seems to want to create a new bloodline, a race that is naturally suitable for practicing demonic skills.
The underground space within the mountain is obviously the product of various experiments conducted by this Demon Lord in the past.
Guan Luoyang looked through it and found that there were no really useful records left here.
However, it can be inferred from these few pieces of paper and a few words that the Changsi Demon Lord may have found a truly feasible method before abandoning this place.
"Although the seven immortals have rarely taken action in recent years, the other five are occasionally seen."
"Aside from Taiyin Immortal, who has a mysterious nature and never shows up all year round, it seems that only the Demon Lord Changsi has been missing for two hundred years."
Guan Luoyang's expression was very solemn.
Cangri Celestial Master and Changsi Demon Lord were both figures who had become immortals eight hundred years ago. Their talents should not be underestimated.
If the Changsi Demon Lord really created a demonic race that reproduced as quickly as he described and had great understanding, then to what extent would he develop this race after two hundred years of hiding?
Among the mission requirements of the Lord God Space, one is to let Guan Luoyang protect the members of his sect.
Guan Luoyang originally thought that the opponents would be those demonic sects, with at most some righteous traitors. Anyway, in this world view, it is normal for the righteous and demonic sects to have a war.
But now it seems that if the magic of this world really reaches the day of war, the intensity of the war will probably far exceed his previous estimates.
A red thread flew out of Guan Luoyang's clone, and mana was poured into it. It multiplied rapidly and soon turned into metallic luster, turning into a tower near the sky.
East China Sea, Yongjia City.
Guan Luoyang came to an empty side hall and tossed his robe.
The robe flew out and turned into a huge pure white ring in the air. Mana surged out and nine transparent cauldrons were condensed under the ring.
After a moment, the ring buzzed, a white light group appeared in the center, and many monsters were teleported from the southern border.
As soon as they fell from the light group, the space was compressed by the transparent cauldron, collected into it, and sealed.
After all the monsters were transferred, the bookshelf and some papers were also delivered.
Guan Luoyang took back his robe, opened his sleeves, put the Jiuding and those sundries into his sleeves, and then walked out of the palace slowly.
Jun Gaochi was coming quickly. When he saw his appearance, he was surprised and said: "Brother Guan, are you going out? There is a wonderful method of avatar, why do you have to go in your own body?"
Guan Luoyang smiled and said: "I am going to Nanhai to visit Master Ye. It would be rude to not use my real body."
Jun Gaochi was even more surprised and said: "What a coincidence. I was just going to tell you that an envoy from the Nanhai Immortal Sect has arrived."
