Luo Tieya led Jining slowly towards the depths of the misty forest. On the way, Jining killed several rabbits and birds, which made the smile on Luo Tieya's face grow stronger.
After climbing over several mountain peaks, they came to a deep canyon. There was something special here. Not only were the trees much greener, but the aura here was much richer.
After walking towards the canyon for about a quarter of an hour, Jining saw a few simple thatched houses near a green pool.
At this time, a staggering old man with white hair and beard walked out of a thatched house. The old man's face was full of grooves and it seemed that he was already in his twilight years.
The old man looked surprised when he saw Jining and asked, "Fellow Daoist Luo, who is this?"
"Mr. Jing, this guy is just like us, and fell into the Ghost Mist Abyss accidentally. I just went hunting nearby and ran into him," Luo Tieya said.
"Hey, Fellow Daoist Luo has gained a lot from this hunting. It seems that everyone can enjoy a sumptuous dinner tonight." Mr. Jing said when he saw the birds and beasts Luo Tieya was carrying.
"Haha, yes, Mr. Jing won't need to rely on Kun Tong to hunt hard by himself in the future. This fellow Daoist Ji is a powerful body refiner!" Luo Tieya said with a smile on his face.
Then Luo Tieya said to Jining: "Mr. Jing is the earliest monk who appeared in the Misty Jungle. It is also because of Mr. Jing's methods that we can settle down here!"
Jining quickly bowed to the staggering old man with white hair and beard, and the old man smiled and nodded in response. Then Luo Tieya took Jining to a thatched house and said to Jining: "Fellow Daoist Ji, you can stay here first from now on!"
Jining nodded in thanks and was about to enter the thatched house to take a look.
At this time, footsteps came from the valley, and soon several monks appeared in his eyes. Each of them was carrying a large package. It seemed that there should be some fruits and wild vegetables in it, but a burly middle-aged man He was carrying a wild boar on his back.
The middle-aged man shouted with excitement: "Mr. Jing, everyone can enjoy eating meat tonight!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an incredible look in his eyes. They saw a pile of carcasses of birds and beasts on the ground not far away. Several other people also showed surprise after seeing it.
"Everyone, we have another Taoist friend here!" Mr. Jing said with a smile, and Jining also quickly walked over and clasped his fists in salute to the other returning human monks.
Through Mr. Jing's introduction, Jining knew the middle-aged man named Geng Yucheng, a casual cultivator born in the central continent of Kunyun. Except for this middle-aged man, the other three are also old men in their twilight years, but they are disciples of several major sects in the Central Continent. It seems that these three people, like Mr. Jing, have lived here for a very long time. Corroded by the evil spirit for a long time, they look weaker than ordinary mortals.
At the same time, the old man Jingxing said that there was one person who had not returned yet, and Jining knew that this person should be the Kuntong they mentioned.
Seeing these old men getting more and more old, Jining was a little worried that they would collapse at any time.
Mr. Jing seemed to know what Jining was thinking, and sighed and said: "We and others are considered elders of the Kunyun Continent sect, so we all have protective magic weapons. It is also because of this that we fell into the Ghost Mist Abyss and survived. I was lucky to survive, but the Yin evil spirit here is too strong, and the Yin evil spirit in the body cannot be eliminated, making it painful for us to live!"
One of the old men saw the sadness of the old man surnamed Jing, and quickly changed the subject and said: "The blood moon is coming soon. I don't know how many beasts Kun Dao Fellow can hunt this time, plus what Dao Fellow Geng and Fellow Dao Ji have gained These wild beasts. This blood moon should not be like the previous times where they can only eat wild fruits."
Jining then learned that a blood moon covering the sky would occur every ten years in the misty jungle, which usually lasted three to four months. When the blood moon period begins, this is also the most dangerous period in the foggy jungle. Perhaps the blood moon triggers the tide of Yin evil. At that time, countless Yin beasts will rush into the foggy jungle, and all life wherever they go will be destroyed.
In the past, human monks living in the misty jungle were devoured by Yin beasts, so after mastering this rule, everyone hid during the blood moon. Decades ago, Mr. Jing deployed a psychedelic defense formation in the deep valley, so it was still safe to hide in the deep valley during the blood moon.
At this time, Jining discovered that there were several formation eyes at the entrance of the deep valley in the distance. Although this formation was a bit strange, Jining felt that this formation also needed spiritual stones to drive it, but it was not clear where they got the spiritual stones.
While Jining was observing carefully, another monk appeared in the distance. This monk looked very young, but he had a black beard and a tall body like a giant.
He was carrying a bulging bag on his back, and a strong smell of blood floated out. It seemed that there were many birds and beasts in it. The rest of the people looked excited when they saw the bulging bag on his back.
Then a blazing bonfire was lit in the valley, and the strong aroma of meat floated in the deep valley.
Everyone is very happy today. In addition to getting so much meat, they also know that a powerful monk has come, which will make their lives here much easier in the future.
Everyone gathered around the campfire and feasted. Jining also learned from everyone that this should be an extraterritorial land. They called it the underworld, but they felt that this was not the real underworld, but maybe a lost land in the underworld.
This reminded Jining of the Starry Sky Realm, which appeared in this star field after the higher-level continents fell apart. Later, powerful monks set up shocking formations to imprison them in the void.
Maybe this Jedi is just a continent that collapsed in the underworld.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth that appears here should have been brought here from the outside by the Ghost Mist Abyss. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth that entered this Yin evil ghost land was finally concentrated in this area because it could not be integrated into the Yin evil land.
The shortest time they have lived here is Kuntong, which is almost ten years. Among them, Mr. Jing and others have lived here for almost a hundred years. Apart from seeing powerful Yin beasts during the blood moon, they have never seen anything in the human world. The rumored Shura monster in the underworld.
Jining then asked why everyone had not figured out a way to remove the evil spirit from the body for such a long time.
Mr. Jing sighed and said: "When we first entered this place, we were all trying our best to remove the evil spirit from our bodies. However, later we discovered that except for you powerful body refiners, most monks will basically never be able to stay here for more than ten years." There is no other way, because the evil spirit has withered and blocked the spiritual veins in the body, and it can never be recovered."
Several old people including Luo Tieya had a look of loneliness on their faces after hearing this.
"Actually, there was once a person here who successfully got rid of the evil spirit and then left here." Mr. Jing continued.
"He is a powerful monk of Baiqiao Sect. He is not only a body refiner but also possesses spiritual flames in his body. So he meditated in the Valley of Fire in the misty jungle for several years, introducing the powerful poison of earth fire and the evil spirit. Fighting. In the end, he withstood this painful test and opened up his meridians." Mr. Jing said.
"It is precisely because he successfully opened up the meridians that we can live until now!" Mr. Jing said with a sigh.
From what Mr. Jing said, Jining guessed that it was because this person had recovered his spiritual power and then took out the contents of their storage bag that Mr. Jing placed a formation restriction at the entrance of the valley.
But later I heard Geng Yucheng mention that he had also entered the Valley of Fire, but the powerful poison of the earth fire was too much for him to bear, and he almost died in the Valley of Fire. In the end, Mr. Jing and others rescued him. After that, he gave up on trying again.
It was learned from their mouths that Kuntong had never tried it and he didn't seem to be in a hurry.
However, Jining heard some successful cases, which gave him a little more hope. He planned to go to the Flame Valley to try after the blood moon to see if he could use the poison of earth fire to remove the evil spirit from his body.
The silver moon in the sky was scattered with a different kind of moonlight, but it also gave off a sense of death, which gave Jining a strange thought. At this time, Mr. Jing looked at the silver moon in the sky, then said goodbye to everyone and got up and returned to the thatched house.
After he left, everyone returned to their thatched cottages.
