Chapter 1890 Stepping on the Cloud Pass
Mo was silent for a while and then said: "You must also know that the Black Mountain Territory is different from the outside world. You cannot escape here, and there are many dangerous places. With all due respect, even you will have a hard time passing through some of these dangerous places. .”
After hearing this, Liang Yan nodded slightly to express his approval.
In fact, this is what he is worried about. From his observations along the way, he found that the Black Mountain Region is by no means simple. If there is no guide who is familiar with the route here, it is very likely to lose troops and generals.
To say the least, even if the Bamboo Army could get through these dangerous areas, it would probably take a lot of time and cause the mission to fail.
"You are one of the eight great clans of gods. You should know the shortcut from north to south, right?" Liang Yan asked.
"Of course there are shortcuts, but after Beiming invaded our place, they built city defenses at many must-pass places. If you want to enter the hinterland of Beiming through the Black Mountain Territory, there are several city gates that cannot be bypassed." Mo Huan Slowly.
After hearing this, Liang Yan's eyes flashed, and he said with a half-smile:
"Mo, you don't want to borrow a knife to kill someone, do you?"
Mo Ye laughed: "It depends on what you think. I'm not lying. Unless you are willing to pass through the 'Soul Burial Ridge' and 'No Life Valley' that even our eight major gods are not willing to approach." place, otherwise you would have to fight your way through.”
At this point, he paused and then said: "But then again, you just kept saying that you were Beiming's enemy, wouldn't you dare to take action against Beiming's monks?"
"It seems that you want to verify my position." Liang Yan narrowed his eyes.
He didn't answer immediately, but thought about it secretly.
The ultimate goal of this operation is to sneak into Beiming, meet up with Li Yile, and then find the source of the Luo River under the leadership of Li Yile, and use Shennong's secret medicine to destroy the Luo River.
Of course, the whole process should be as secretive as possible, and try not to make too much noise.
But this is only an ideal situation, not realistic. After all, we are in Beiming's territory, which is heavily defended and it is impossible not to fight once.
"Danyang Sheng is very cunning. He has been fighting in the Black Mountain Territory for a year. He should have some knowledge of the terrain here. The place where the city gates are located must be the only way to the North Ming Dragon Vein. There is no way to avoid it. From this, it seems that what this person just said is probably true, but it is also true that he wants to use my hands to get rid of the Beiming monk, and the two are not in conflict."
"The Black Mountain Territory is dangerous and strange. Instead of marching indiscriminately, it is better to take this person's advice and give him a reassurance at the same time."
Thinking of this, Liang Yan smiled slightly: "Mo, tell me, which path should we take next?"
"If you want stability, you can march to the 'Lin-Yin Valley' in the southwest. After passing through the valley, take Pingyang Road. Although there are many city gates on this route, the guards are not strong. It is just that the road is long and there are still people along the way. There are several dangerous places and it will take a lot of time.”
"Yes." Liang Yan nodded, "This is the route to seek stability. Is there anything else?"
"If you want to go faster, then march southeast, cross the 'Tianaxe Mountain', and take the Baiyun Road. The city gates along this route are heavily guarded, the generals' strength is unfathomable, and there are also mysterious formations blocking them."
When Mo said this, he glanced at Liang Yan and said with a smile: "This is the direct route to Beiming. If everything goes well, it will only take one-third of the marching time. Of course, the danger is several times that of other routes. As for how The choice is up to fellow Taoists."
"Understood."
Liang Yan nodded slightly, his face was calm, showing no emotion or anger.
There was silence for a moment, as all the soldiers were waiting for his decision.
"Go southeast and take Baiyun Road!"
After pondering for a moment, Liang Yan gave his answer.
Seeing that he had chosen the most dangerous path, Zhao Yi, Wang Chonghua, Hong Yun, Fu Kaishan and other generals not only showed no signs of worry, but instead showed smiles, looking eager to try.
"That's how it should be. Although we only have a hundred thousand people, there are many experts gathered together, and there are countless capable people and strangers! When our army's soldiers point at it, the city gates left by Beiming are like chickens and tile dogs, and they will be broken with one strike!" Zhao Yi laughed loudly.
"Don't be careless!" Venerable Fuhu said with a serious face: "The reason why the commander-in-chief chose this route is just to speed up the march so that he can cooperate with the main force led by Leader Ning, but we must not underestimate the enemy. You must know that a arrogant soldier will be defeated!"
"I know, I know." Wang Chonghua patted Venerable Fuhu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "We are all experienced generals in the battlefield, how can we be careless and underestimate the enemy? But we have been suppressed by Beiming for too long before, and now If we have the chance, we must dampen their spirit!"
"Let's hit the road."
Liang Yan didn't say much and turned back to Luan Che.
Gui Wuqi was ordered to guard Mo. The two of them rode in a chariot and followed Liang Yan. The army set off again and marched toward the "Tianaxe Mountain" in the southeast.
Tianaxu Mountain is located in the northern part of the Black Mountain Territory. The mountain road is steep and the rocks are rugged. The rock on the top of the mountain is bulging and looks like a huge battle ax from a distance, hence the name.
There is a dark forest on both sides of the mountain. There are miasma, poisonous gas, and strange and inexplicable ancient restrictions in the forest. Even the eight major gods who have been practicing here all year round dare not approach it rashly.
Therefore, if you want to cross Tianhu Mountain, you must pass through the sub-river valley in the middle.
At the mouth of the valley, there is a majestic and upright city gate. This city gate stretches for tens of thousands of miles from east to west. The entire city gate is made of black black stone. It looks like a dark giant beast, entrenched in the north-south direction!
There is a plaque hanging on the gate of the city wall with three golden characters: "Taiyung Pass"!
This is one of the many city gates left behind by Beiming before it withdrew from the Black Mountain Territory. The general guarding the gate is named "Wei Zheng", with a nine-foot-high hideout and extraordinary prowess.
He was having a drink with a few people in his backyard at the time. During the dinner, birds were singing and dancing, and his sleeves were fluttering. Everyone was chatting happily, and they didn't seem to be preparing for war at all.
"General Wei, thank you for your hospitality. Your Ganquan wine is simply outstanding. I haven't enjoyed such delicious food for many years." An old man with white hair and beard said with a smile while tasting the wine.
After hearing this, Wei Zheng burst out laughing:
"Fellow Kuzhu Daoist is really good at joking. How can ordinary wine be as good as your panacea? Let's do this. If you are addicted to alcohol next time, just take a 'Zhuan Ling Dan' in exchange for it. I will give it to you." How about thirty pounds of sweet spring wine?"
"Well, Wei Zheng, your wishful thinking has come true!"
On the other side of the banquet, a handsome man in white chuckled and said: "Fellow Kuzhu's 'Spiritual Transformation Pill' is hard to find. If you really exchanged it for thirty kilograms of ordinary wine, I'm afraid that before Those fellow Taoists who ask for elixirs will be so angry that they vomit blood, right?"
"Brother Xue Ju, you can't say that." Wei Zheng said with a smile while sipping the wine: "Now we are all stationed in the Black Mountain Region. Although we are not in the same city, we are all in the same spirit. We all had a great time chatting today. , how about doing a market transaction and interoperating with each other?"
"oh?"
After hearing this, Kuzhu and Xue Ju looked at each other and put down their wine glasses in unison.
In fact, their drunkenness is not about drinking. They came to Tayunguan today for a small gathering, and they do have their own purposes. Now that they have had three rounds of drinking, it is time to get down to business.
"Since it is General Wei who has spoken, how dare Xue refuse to obey? I wonder what the general wants in exchange for it?" Xue Ju laughed.
Wei Zheng said nothing, put down his wine glass and clapped his hands. The female cultivator who was still dancing in the courtyard immediately stopped, bowed to the three of them, and then slowly exited the backyard.
Immediately afterwards, he raised his hand and cast another magic spell, setting up several layers of restrictions outside the hospital, and then Youyou said: "Let's open the skylight and tell the truth. You two came to me not just for a drink? There are only three of us here, If you have any treasures in your hands, don’t hide them, take them out quickly and let’s see if we can trade them.”
"General Wei is really quick to talk. In that case, let me start by offering some advice."
Kuzhu smiled slightly, took out a small white jade box from the storage ring, and gently pushed the lid open a small slit. Immediately, the rich fragrance of red pills filled the air.
"It's indeed the magic pill!"
Wei Zheng's eyes showed a trace of fiery color, but he quickly covered it up.
But Kuzhu shook his head and said with a smile: "Take a closer look, you two."
While speaking, he pushed the lid of the box open a lot. The other two people took a closer look and found a white pill the size of a thumb lying in the jade box with nine golden lines on it.
"Nine Marks Transformation Pill!"
Even with Wei Zheng's determination, the moment he saw the elixir, his heartbeat accelerated and his breath became slightly confused.
The Spirit Transformation Pill is a pill used by monks in the Transformation Tribulation Realm. Its function is to purify and transform the spiritual power in one's body so that the spiritual power matches the power of the laws learned.
This elixir is most suitable for monks who practice the power of a single law, and can help them increase the power of their spells.
After all, no matter how deep a person's power of law is, it must be exerted through mysterious spells, otherwise he will be like a reckless man who has no brute force but doesn't know how to use it. The Transforming Spirit Pill makes monks able to Ability to better utilize the power of law.
Such a precious elixir is naturally hard to find, and the Spirit Transformation Pill is also divided into grades. According to the number of pill patterns, it is divided into grades one to nine. Among them, the Nine Patterns Transformation Spirit Pill has the best effect and is extremely precious. It can be called the Priceless existence.
It's no wonder that Wei Zheng is so out of character. The power of the single law he cultivated has recently reached a bottleneck. He has a premonition of impending disaster and is eager to improve his strength, so he desperately hopes to get a spiritual transformation pill.
How cultivated is Kuzhu? She could see his thoughts at a glance, smiled and said nothing, and instead looked at the other person.
"Fellow Daoist Xue, can I use this elixir in exchange for something from you?"
As soon as these words came out, Wei Zheng's face immediately turned gloomy.
Xue Ju was a little surprised. He glanced at Ku Zhu and asked, "What do you want in exchange for me?"
"Ten Thousand Demon Banners!"
boom!
There was a loud noise, but Xue Ju smashed the wine table in front of him with his palm, stood up and shouted: "Kuzhu, are you crazy? Do you know what you are talking about?"
It’s no wonder that his reaction was so intense, the “Ten Thousand Demon Banners” really had a great origin.
Tiangong City is very powerful. In addition to the city lord himself, there are also the four great sage kings in the southeast, northwest and northwest, all of whom are in the Holy Realm.
Among them, the Northern Demon Saint Lord is not a human being, but a demon cultivator. He has three direct disciples, and the third one is Xue Ju.
Because Xue Ju had excellent qualifications and was deeply loved by the Demon Saint King, he was given this magic weapon "Ten Thousand Demon Banners". Although it was the magic weapon he used before becoming a saint, its power is also amazing.
"Kuzhu, you are so brave! The Ten Thousand Demon Banner is a magic weapon given by my master. You dare to spy on it!"
"Fellow Taoist, calm down."
Kuzhu did not fall out with him, but just laughed and said: "How could I not know that this Ten Thousand Monster Flag is a thing of the Demon Saint, so how dare I take it as my own? I just want to borrow your Ten Thousand Monster Flag for one use. After using it, I can use the original If you give it back, the Nine Marks Transformation Spiritual Pill will still belong to you."
"borrow?"
Xue Ju was a little surprised, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes, but his anger gradually calmed down.
He sat down again, pointed his hand, and the broken table in front of him returned to its original state.
"So, do you want to use this Nine Marks Transformation Pill in exchange for a chance to use the Ten Thousand Demon Banners?"
"Exactly!" Kuzhu nodded.
"hehe."
Xue Ju laughed and said calmly: "I will never leave the Banner of Ten Thousand Monsters. Fellow Taoist Kuzhu wants to exchange it for the Spiritual Transformation Pill. Isn't it a bit fanciful? You know, this pill is very precious to some people." , but it is useless to me. Xue is a demon cultivator, and he has cultivated the power of two laws at the same time. This spiritual transformation pill can only transform one kind, so it is useless to me."
"The Spirit Transformation Pill is useless to you, so what about the 'Fire Divine Needle'?"
Hearty laughter came from the side, but Wei Zheng, who had been silent just now, suddenly spoke.
After hearing this, Xue Ju's eyes flickered slightly, turned to Wei Zheng, and asked with a smile: "What does General Wei mean?"
Wei Zheng laughed: "Why do you need to hide it, Fellow Daoist Xue? You have traveled thousands of miles to come to me. Do you have any other purpose? It's probably because something went wrong while practicing, and you need Wei's 'Fire God Needle' to heal it, right?" "
"It seems that General Wei is really well informed." Xue Ju narrowed his eyes slightly, indicating something.
Wei Zheng's smile remained unchanged: "Fellow Taoist, I have misunderstood. Why would I inquire about you for no reason? It's just that most of the people who come to me come to ask for the 'Fire God Needle'. Kuzhu is not the one. You must be the one." Bar?"
"snort!"
Xue Ju snorted coldly and did not speak, but he did not express any objection.
Wei Zheng said again: "Well, Wei is also the host after all. Today, I will set up a game. The three of us will exchange with each other: Kuzhu's Nine Patterns Transforming Spiritual Pill belongs to me, and my 'Fire Fire Divine Needle' belongs to me." Fellow Daoist Xue, as for Fellow Daoist Xue’s ‘Ten Thousand Demons Banner’, let me borrow it from Fellow Daoist Kuzhu to use it once.”
After hearing this suggestion, Ku Zhu nodded and smiled, but Xue Ju frowned slightly, looking a little hesitant.
"I have a question."
After pondering for a moment, Xue Ju looked at Kuzhu attentively and said slowly: "The Ten Thousand Monster Banner needs demon power to exert its maximum power. As a human monk, what do you do with the Ten Thousand Monster Banner?"
