Immortality: Start with the Gourd Sword Art

Chapter 33 Five Poison Days

The fifth day of May, southern Xinjiang.

In May, southern Xinjiang is extremely hot and muggy. Affected by the weather, poisonous miasma rises in the forest, and poisonous habitats are everywhere.

However, in southern Xinjiang, there are tall trees and deep forests, and there are no major roads at all. Outsiders, not the local Miao people living here, can't even find a road.

"Brother, after passing this mountain, we will reach Mabu."

The person who spoke was a Miao girl. There was a snakeskin bag tied around her waist, and she was holding a Miao knife in her hand. With one pass of the knife, a large thorn was cut open.

The girl's name is Yao Amei. Although she is only fifteen or sixteen, she has been the head of Yao Village for several years.

"How about I take Miss Yao to fly there!" Xu Li sent out a sword energy to help clear the way.

"No." Yao Amei shook her head and then explained:

"Today is the Five Poisons Day, a grand gathering in our southern Xinjiang. Gu masters from all villages are going to Mabu to participate in the Five Poisons Meeting. These Gu masters hate the Central Plains people very much. I know that my brother is very powerful, but it's better not to show it. .”

Several months had passed since he slayed the demon in Zhoushan. After Xu Li left Zhoushan, he fell into hiding. He pulled off a Taoist robe that he couldn't wear, wrote a sign, and went south to practice medicine and divination as a way to practice his skills and travel around the world. Make alchemy in the furnace, refine the energy of the hardware, and prepare for coming to the southern Xinjiang to condense evil spirits.

After several months of stop-and-go practice, while his medical skills improved, he also accumulated some good deeds. Naturally, all the thirty-six five-metal talismans and swords were completed.

And the journey finally came to the land of southern Xinjiang.

The terrain of southern Xinjiang is complex, and it has not been subject to the control of the Central Plains since ancient times. It is an independent entity. Not only is the culture different from the Central Plains, but also the method of cultivation is also very different from the Central Plains.

This Miao border witchcraft is extremely powerful. Although it is far less prosperous than the three sects and the immortals emerge in endlessly, among the side sects, it is a huge force. Among them, the most famous Baimang Patriarch of Cangmang Mountain, It is a person who occupies a place and claims to be the ancestor.

"Thank you, Miss Yao, for reminding me, but I was reckless."

Xu Li thought to himself that he had indeed lost his vigilance. Although the art of witchcraft and poison was not as good as the three religions in head-on combat, in terms of being weird and difficult to prevent, it was equally difficult to prevent people from plotting against people in secret.

This sister is friendly to her because she cured his brother's dysentery. The other Jiuli survivors are not friendly to the people of the Central Plains, especially those Gu masters in southern Xinjiang. They are even more hostile to orthodox practitioners and think they are the three religions. After seeking orthodoxy, they could only shrink into the barbaric land of southern Xinjiang.

In fact, it’s not surprising that they think so. After all, in ancient times, there was no Buddhism, and the orthodoxy in the world was the ancient divine sect and the magic sect that communicated with gods and demons.

This Shen Sect Demon Sect is pretty good, but it only pays attention to cultivating the body of ancient gods and demons. Therefore, after a little success in cultivation, it ignores life and regards itself as gods and demons.

But this ancient wizard is different. In order to communicate with gods and demons and steal the power of gods and demons, this ancient wizard is much crueler. Human sacrifice is just the most common method. Many evil practices in side sects nowadays actually originate from ancient witchcraft.

But that is all in the past. Since the rise of Taoism and Buddhism, both the Shen Sect Demon Sect and the ancient witchcraft have gradually declined.

The Demon Sect can also be combined with witchcraft, Taoism, and Buddhism to form the five major sects of the Demon Sect today. Among them, only the Beizong family insists on transforming into gods and demons in ancient times. The rest basically seduce the demons from outside the realm. , cultivate the gods and demons of your destiny, and follow the path of using demons to control demons.

Although they will eventually embark on the path of incarnation as the ancient demon god, the process for those geniuses is much more friendly than the ancient divine sect's demon sect. They don't have to work hard to refine their bloodline. Yes, it will naturally attract all demons to surrender and become the master of demons.

As for those who don't have the qualifications and don't have the courage to use magic to control demons, then send them to Beizong, just like refining Gu. If you have more bases, you can always reel in a few ruthless characters. Even if you don't succeed, it's not a waste. Always good materials for refining demons.

The Demon Sect can metabolize itself and keep up with the times, but the ancient witchcraft is not good enough. Its own concept is not as good as the Shenzong Demon Sect. They transform themselves into gods and demons and compete with the ancient gods and demons, but you are doing this to please the gods and demons. , with the goal of stealing the power of gods and demons, it is fundamentally far behind others.

The result is that talents who can change will find that after the change, they are not following the path of practicing the three religions themselves, so what else should I change? It's better to join the three religions yourself.

As for the remaining mediocre people who cling to old ideas, after losing the top group of talents, they are naturally getting worse year by year. If they can still exist now, it is because they later absorbed the Gu arts and side sects of the people of Jiuli. After those who cursed and tired of winning, they started anew and changed the object of witchcraft from gods and demons to poison. Only then could they barely hold on to this three-acre land in southern Xinjiang.

However, these southern Xinjiang Gu Masters do not think that they are their own talents, but only think that the three religions have stolen their status.

It is natural that Xu Li, the original Xuanmen orthodox sect, is hostile.

Instead of mentioning flying over with his sword, Xu Li asked about the importance of these five poisonous days.

"We people in southern Xinjiang live a very hard life. Not only are poisonous insects, snakes and ants everywhere in southern Xinjiang, but there are also many fertile beasts. However, there are no plains in southern Xinjiang, so we cannot grow food like people in the Central Plains. Everyone lives together and eats There are simply not enough people, so we can only live in separate villages, one village at a time, in order to survive.

But when people are separated, their strength becomes weaker, and those poisonous insects and wild beasts are very dangerous to the village.

Later, Master Baimang made a rule. On the fifth day of May, when the poisonous insects are most agitated, the Five Poison Meeting will be held in Jiubu, where the Gu masters from each village will take out their most powerful Gus to fight to determine the most powerful one. Gu Masters, these Gu Masters can go to Cangmang Mountain and receive guidance from Lord Baimang.

After they have completed their studies and refined more powerful Gu, these great Gu Masters will hand over the methods of cultivating the new Gu to the Gu Masters in each village. In this way, year after year, not only will the poisonous insects in southern Xinjiang be eliminated, I learned a lot, and it also gave each village more power to protect itself. The year before last, I learned the colorful mantis Gu from my third uncle, so that I could kill the black panther that killed my father. "

When she said the last sentence, Yao Amei's face was full of pride, and a mantis full of colorful colors came out from behind the girl's neck. The two hooks glowed slightly in the sun.

Although Xu Li knew as soon as he heard this, the Baimang Patriarch used this method to gather the wisdom of all southern Xinjiang Gu masters to help him perfect the Taoism, but this move could indeed protect the tens of millions of Jiuli survivors.

It can only be said that for being able to come up with such a two-pronged solution, this ancestor is really very wise and worthy of being a famous figure in the side sect.
