Chapter 239
"The monks in the Jiang Dynasty have both spiritual and demonic cultivation, and they are all inclusive. The casual cultivators also have both."
Xue Mang paused for a moment, raised the wine jar, took a sip of medicinal wine, and looked at Gu Xuan.
"There are scattered cultivators on every island, and on the islands where cities are built, there are also monks from the island country. If Brother Gu Entropy wants to open caves on other islands, he may not be able to do so in the short term."
There is no need for Xue Mang to lie to each other. Gu Xuan pondered for a long time: "I will open a cave on this island. In the future, I just want to practice in seclusion and don't want to cause trouble."
This was Gu Xuan's innermost thoughts. If he hadn't sneaked into the Kailing Sect's spiritual mines to cultivate and visit Wucheng's tomb, he might have been practicing in seclusion on the islands.
"That's very good." Xue Mang was overjoyed and quickly raised the wine jar, "Brother Gu Entropy, please finish drinking this wine. Xue will take you to meet that fellow demon cultivator. The cave is not far away."
The two chatted about other topics and had a good time. They didn't leave together until they drank all the Chinese medicinal wine.
Xue Mang stood on the flying sword, pointed in various directions, and introduced: "Xue's cave is on the east side of the island, Moxiu's cave is on the north and south, and Brother Gu Entropy can open a cave on the west."
Gu Xuan looked to the west, in the direction of the vast sea: "This is very good. If you and I go east and west, the spiritual energy will not interfere with each other."
The two quickly flew to the south of the island, where there was an area shrouded in black mist in the dense forest, where the demon cultivator's cave was located.
"Why is this demon cultivator named? Xue paid a visit when he returned to the cave. He is also preparing to practice in seclusion and attack the middle stage."
The red flying sword hovered in the air, Xue Mang used a knocking talisman, pinched it with his fingers, and a red beam of light shot out, hitting the black mist below.
The black fog was billowing, and circles of red halo flashed out from the end of the red beam. It appeared that the owner was in the cave, but it was not convenient to receive guests.
"It seems that fellow Taoist He has gone into seclusion to practice."
Gu Xuan's expression changed: "Brother Xue was just about to leave the cave. Is he going to meet friends?"
The two of them flew to the west of the island with their swords, and the howling sea breeze ruffled their clothes and made a hunting sound.
"That's what I mean." Xue Mang nodded, "That fellow Taoist is named Weng Ji. He can create a certain sense of crisis for Xue. Although he is not as good as Brother Gu Entropy, his combat power is quite strong, and he is a bit like Xue."
Friendship. Once the Nether Mirror is born, it will inevitably cause a bloody storm. One more helper means more fighting power. A few days ago, Xue visited once, but the other party was not in the cave. According to the nearby loose cultivator
What he said is that he is going to Qingfei Daofang City and will be able to return soon."
Gu Xuan and Xue Mang flew side by side and said slowly: "Before making the agreement with Brother Xue, Gu Xuan had made an agreement with several other Taoist friends. Once the Netherworld Mirror was released, even though there were more people and greater fighting power, we still had to fight together.
It’s a robbery. Except for Weng Ji, Brother Xue should not bring other monks into the group for the time being."
"Oh?"
"They are all in the middle stage." Gu Xuan paused slightly, "The mind is not weak, and the combat power is strong. One of them has inherited the ancient cultivation formation."
"That's very good. Fellow Daoist Weng is also in the middle stage of cultivation."
Gu Xuan smiled slightly: "I have a close friend who is also a monk in the Cangsheng Realm. By chance, I was able to stay in the Ling Sect of the Nanyang Realm to practice. He will enter the secret realm of the Yin Ruins, and there is no need to snatch the Netherworld Mirror."
Xue Mang was stunned for a long time, and suddenly felt that he knew very little about Gu Xuan: "It seems that Brother Gu Entropy is not only powerful in combat, but also has many helpers... I might as well tell you what preparations Brother Gu Entropy has for the Yinxu Secret Realm.
.”
Gu Xuan stopped in the air: "I have no other helpers to snatch the Netherworld Mirror. After entering the Yinxu Secret Realm, I reached an agreement with a mana realm monk to form a team. It's just that the mana realm monk has his own affairs in the Yinxu Secret Realm. Even though there is an agreement,
, I’m afraid we’ll have to separate at that time, but if we form a team, we can go together throughout the journey.”
Xue Mang stopped and said, "In this case, if Brother Gu Entropy meets Weng Ji and feels that he is not suitable, there is no need to form a team with him."
"Among the Taoist friends I have an appointment with, there are still three who are not sure that they are related to the Nether Mirror. Besides, I believe in Brother Xue's premonition ability."
While speaking, Gu Xuan flicked his sleeves, and a circular formation disk and eight triangular formation flags flew out from them and floated in front of him.
Gu Xuan pinched his fingers, the array disk's aura flickered, and the eight array flags flew out around them, sinking into the ground one after another.
As the last finger was pinched out, the clouds from the void rolled in, forming thick white clouds and mist, covering an area of one acre of dense forest.
"How does Brother Gu Entropy plan to build the cave? My stone house was built by a few fishermen. If Brother Gu Entropy needs it, I can hire them."
Xue Mang stared at the clouds and mist below. The change in self-profession meant that the relationship between them took a further step.
Gu Xuan smiled slightly: "No need to go to such trouble, I plan to practice on the tree stump."
"Wonderful." Xue Mang smiled while stroking his hands, "Anyway, it's just a cultivation place, covered by a magic circle, and houses and the like are completely redundant."
Gu Xuandao: "Let's go meet Weng Ji. Where is his cave?"
"Qinghua Island." Xue Mang flew out with his sword, "This island is several times larger than Qingfeng Island. There is a city on the island. The city owner is a late-stage cultivator in the Gangli realm, and there are also about a dozen casual cultivators in the Gangli realm."
…
Qinghua Island is about ten miles away from Qingfeng Island, and is indeed much larger than Qingfeng Island. The overall landscape is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with a basin in the middle.
The city was built in the basin, and the scattered caves were built on the mountains.
Gu Xuan followed Xue Mang and flew to a cave. The entrance of the cave was covered by an uncertain gray mist, making it difficult for his mind to penetrate. A magic circle was obviously set up.
The two stood on the flying sword. Xue Mang held out a knocking talisman, pinched it with his fingers, and a red beam of light shot out, hitting the gray fog at the entrance of the cave.
"I hope fellow Taoist Weng is in the cave, otherwise this trip will be in vain."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the gray fog rolling, revealing a gap, which was dark inside, and the red beam of light flashed away.
Xue Mang withdrew the knocking talisman and flew into the gap with Gu Xuan. Inside was a natural cave with a man-made dark tunnel inside.
"Fellow Daoist Weng's cave is built underground, let's go down there."
Xue Mang flew into the cave with his sword, followed closely by Gu Xuan. The cave was winding downwards. There was no luminous pearl embedded in the top wall, and you couldn't see your fingers when you stretched out your hand.
Even so, they quickly reached the end. The entire tunnel was about 500 feet long, and the vertical distance from the ground was more than 300 feet.
There was still a gray mist at the end of the cave. Gu Xuan was slightly startled, but he immediately came to his senses.
The person who used the talisman may be an enemy. Since the cave is too long and far exceeds the viewing distance of telekinesis, it is impossible to see the situation at the entrance of the cave. Setting up two magic circles will undoubtedly play a preventive role.
Xue Mang sacrifices again
He tapped the formation talisman, pinched his fingers, and shot out a red beam. The gray mist rolled and immediately opened a gap.
A loud voice came from the gap: "I wonder who is knocking on the formation. It turns out that it is Taoist Fellow Xue who is here. Please come in quickly."
"Haha, Xue came here a few days ago, but fellow Daoist Weng is not in the cave."
Xue Mang and Gu Xuan flew into the gap and put away their broad swords.
This is a rather vast underground cave with luminous pearls embedded in the cave walls. There is a set of stone tables and chairs on the ground near the cave entrance.
Inside the cave stands a screen made of fine wood, with plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums carved on the surface. Behind the screen is a jade coffin with a lid. Weng Ji usually practices in the jade coffin.
Weng Ji was wearing a gray robe. He was tall and thin, with extremely large ears and long arms. He asked with a smile: "Fellow Taoist Weng came to visit twice. Is there something important?"
Xue Mang nodded solemnly: "We do have something important to discuss."
Seeing that Xue Mang spoke solemnly, Weng Ji quickly took his seat and said, "Two fellow Taoists, please sit down and talk."
The three of them sat down on the stone chairs. Since Weng Ji was not good at drinking, Xue Mang did not take out the spiritual wine or medicinal wine.
After some greetings and greetings, Xue Mang asked: "Fellow Daoist Weng's face is a little pale. Could it be that he was injured?"
Weng Ji gritted his teeth: "I met a late-stage demon cultivator who was trying to kill people and seize treasures a while ago. Weng had a fight with him. If that guy hadn't run so fast, he would have definitely killed himself."
Xue Mang couldn't help but look at each other with Gu Xuan. Weng Ji was able to beat away a demon cultivator in the late Gangli realm, which is enough to show how powerful his combat power is.
Gu Xuan asked: "How is Fellow Daoist Weng's injury?"
"It's no longer serious." Weng Ji glanced at Gu Xuan, "Weng has been recovering from his injuries for a while. He happened to go to the market to buy elixirs that day, so Xue Daoyou made the trip in vain. I just don't know what Daoist Xue has to discuss with you?
"
Xue Mang asked back: "Does Fellow Daoist Weng know the secret realm of Yinxu?"
"The secret realm of Yin Ruins?" Weng Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, "Weng has never heard of this secret realm before, and I hope fellow Taoist Xue can give me some advice."
Xue Mang quickly told everything he knew about the secret realm of Yinxu and his thoughts on inviting Weng Ji to form a team.
During the narration, Gu Xuan made some additions, which shows that Gu Xuan knows more information than Xue Mang.
After hearing this, Weng Ji's eyes flickered and he pondered for a long time before he solemnly replied: "Thank you two fellow Taoists for trusting me and informing me of this secret. Since this secret realm exists, Weng cannot miss it. But within ten years, Weng will
There is no guarantee of the late stage of advancement, even if both Taoist friends are in the middle stage of advancement, it would be overestimating our ability for the three of us alone to compete with the magic realm."
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Weng, there are still a few helpers on Brother Gu Xuan's side." Xue Mang smiled slightly and told about Gu Xuan's helpers.
Weng Ji solemnly expressed his position: "In this case, Weng has nothing to worry about. He is willing to form a team with all fellow Taoists to work together to snatch the Nether Mirror."
Xue Mang's face showed joy: "That's how it should be."
Weng Ji thought for a while: "As for forming a team in the secret realm of Yinxu, we can discuss it later. How to snatch the Tianhuan Token is the key. Weng has a friend who carries a treasure-hunting rat, which will be helpful in finding the Tianhuan Token.
Do you want to recruit him?"
Xue Mang directly objected: "No need, Brother Gu Entropy has a treasure hunter. Since we have formed a team, we don't want to end up fighting in the nest, so we should think that everyone will grab a Nether Mirror. The person chosen is not only reliable in character.
