I am a sword fairy in the age of doom

Chapter 38
As night fell, bonfires blazed.

In a leeward valley, Jiang Mu, Shen Li and other Shenhua Sect disciples chose to camp here.

That Shen Li was quite talkative and open-minded, so Jiang Mu also learned that these disciples of the Shenhua Sect were not only going out to practice, but also patrolling the periphery of the Demon Prison Mountain.

Shen Li didn't shy away from the reason, and said bluntly: "Since the founding of my Shenhua Sect, it has existed to guard the Devil Prison Mountain. There used to be four sect guards around the Devil Prison Mountain. Old, for tens of thousands of years, the other three guarding sects have either declined or left, and only the Shenhua Sect is still holding on."

"The reason why this sect can persist is because of flexibility. Through the establishment of a square city to trade with the outside world, and at the same time migrate mortals, invite colleagues from the world of cultivating immortals to come to open up the barrenness, set up sects, and establish sects. Thousands of years ago, under the devil prison mountain There is only the Shenhua Sect, but now it has opened up five counties in Western Shu, with twelve sects and millions of mortals."

"So, those who can come to the five counties of Xishu are actually our guests."

Shen Li's indirect introduction also made Jiang Mu understand why they were so enthusiastic.

It is true to say that the five counties in Shannan have been pioneering for nearly 5000 years, and the total number of mortals is 2000 million, which is still a barren land.

There are fewer five counties in Western Shu, and the five counties add up to only a million mortals.

However, the five counties in the south of the mountain have a wide terrain and many plains, and there are other reasons for the small number of mortals. The five counties in Xishu are really desolate and sinister. Cities are all built between mountains.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, why is the Devil Prison Mountain guarded? I heard you said that there are still remnants of the great formation left by the ancient immortals here. Could it be that there is still something suppressed in the Devil Prison Mountain? Of course, if it is inconvenient to answer, that's all."

Jiang Mu found a chance to ask.

"Hey, what's the inconvenience of answering this? The truth is that it's been too long. Even our Shenhua Sect doesn't know what's going on. We only know that it has something to do with the promise of that ancient immortal."

"The promise of the ancient immortal?" Jiang Mu was taken aback.

"Why, Fellow Daoist also knows about this rumor." Shen Li was not surprised.

"I saw it from the Zongmen classics, I thought it was a rumor." Jiang Mu said calmly, but his heart was very excited.

"In fact, there should be many people who know this rumor. Those sects in the world of cultivating immortals who have been passed down for more than a thousand years basically know that there is even an inscription on the hall of this sect's inheritance, 'In the past, there were ancient immortals who prayed to the sky and promised, against the sky Those who seek longevity are against the harmony of heaven, so they should take it as their duty to protect the common people in the world, cultivate the avenue internally, kill demons externally, and subdue the world with mighty power. If they violate this promise, the heavens will hate it. Lesson, all disciples must recite it once."

Shen Li said it casually, and it seems that it is true, because the content is different from Jiang Mu's knowledge in some details.

After thinking about it, Jiang Mu asked, "God hates it, what will happen?"

Shen Li was stunned for a moment, "Well, I really haven't thought about it. We all treat this thing as the ancestor's precepts. Of course, every disciple of my Shenhua Sect counts as one, and none of them will violate the ancestor's precepts, let alone Is it not enough to do things that are harmful to nature, to walk between heaven and earth, and to have a clear conscience?"

What Shen Li said, Jiang Mu was speechless. He thought of the words left by the founder of the Floating Cloud Sect, but he wanted nothing to be ashamed of.

No matter what other people do, as long as my behavior is worthy of my disciples and they are not ashamed.

It is estimated that in the world of cultivating immortals, there are not a few masters of cultivating immortals who have such thoughts.

But they probably didn't expect that the consequence of Tianyanzhi would be the severance of spiritual energy.

And at present, this is irreversible and destined to happen.

At this moment, Jiang Mu couldn't help but think back to Ye Fei, the head of the Qiushan School, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling after he took out the Nuoyu slip that recorded the ancient immortals, and Gong Xiaoxiao, the owner of Donghu Villa, a person who made a fortune out of intelligence. It is impossible not to know the rumors about the promise of the ancient immortal.

So in fact, in the world of cultivating immortals, as long as there is a sect inheritance, there will be relevant records in the sect classics more or less, and anyone who is interested will basically know about it.

But only to know.

Whether you care about it or not is another matter.

Jiang Mu sighed and lost interest in the conversation, but at this moment, the ground trembled slightly, and there was a faint roar from the depths of the ground, followed by an extremely strange roar. You will feel that the blood in your body is stagnant, as if your spiritual thoughts have been taken away.

"Calm down!"

There was a loud shout in his ear, and then a scorching force pressed on the center of Jiang Mu's eyebrows. In an instant, he seemed to see a round of red sun from the level of consciousness, with golden lights shining, covering his spiritual thoughts, warming them, In just a split second, he returned to normal.

Jiang Mu opened his eyes and saw that Shen Li's right hand was retracting, and a ray of light from the seal was protecting him.

Before he had time to thank him, Jiang Mu quickly closed his eyes and sensed the red sun on the consciousness level, which had a special, almost immediate effect on his spiritual sense.

It's a pity that this round of red sun at the level of consciousness only lasted for ten breaths before disappearing quickly.

Jiang Mu opened his eyes again, and saw that Shen Li and the twelve Shenhua Sect disciples had already taken care of it, and none of them were affected just now.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, thank you for your help, what happened just now?"

Shen Li smiled, "It's nothing serious, it's just a slight vibration inside the Devil's Prison Mountain, we've already gotten used to it, but every time the Devil's Prison Mountain trembles, some ancient demon corpses will inevitably escape, we have to catch them and seal them , this may be a little dangerous..."

"Although my strength is low, I would like to help you all." Jiang Mu hurriedly said, not mentioning the kindness of Shenli's help just now, but said that this is the best opportunity to get closer to Shenhuazong, and he will not miss it Well, he is especially interested in the calming spell that Shen Li cast just now.

"Alright."

Shen Li nodded, "However, the strange roar at the foot of the Demon Prison Mountain will do great harm to those with low spiritual sense. Our Shenhua Sect has a calming spell, so don't be afraid, but fellow Taoists need to be careful."

Hearing this, Jiang Mu took out ten pieces of spiritual jade without hesitation, but said in his mouth, "Please ask Fellow Daoist Shen to seal the five spiritual jades for me."

Shen Li was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and accepted it without any hesitation. Their Shenhua Sect has been guarding the foot of this Demon Prison Mountain for tens of thousands of years. It's time to decay.

However, this mysterious and real Taoist friend is quite wealthy, and he sold ten pieces of spiritual jade, and the market price is 5000 yuan of spiritual stones.

In a short time, Shen Li sealed Jiang Mu's Eight Ways of God-fixing Spirit Jade in one go, leaving two yuan enough for his wages.

However, he looked a little sluggish at this time, obviously exhausted.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, why don't you take a rest?" Jiang Mu was a little worried.

"It's okay, fellow Taoist, but I don't know the uniqueness of my Shenhua Patriarchal Seal. It must be activated at the same time, and then the magic power is used to form the seal. Therefore, although the consumption is large, the recovery is also fast!"

"It's not too late, let's go!"

Shen Li said a word, led the team into the air, and ran forward.
