Chapter four hundred and forty seventh whereabouts inquiries
Although Eunuch Que and Grandma Ni did not establish a sect and only interacted with their fellow practitioners in their daily lives, because they first entered the star and had the highest cultivation level, they had long been deemed to be the star master of Obsidian Star by their fellow practitioners.
The use of Jianfeng Mountain's territory was decided by them.
When they heard that Ding Xing had the idea of settling down, they invited Ding Xing to visit the cave opened up around the mountains.
From the appearance, these caves are all jade pavilions built on the mountain, which do not cover a large area and are almost the same as those of ordinary monks.
But what surprised Ding Xing was that there was a new world in these caves.
Inside each cave, it is a world with an independent space for practice.
A total of six layers of caves were opened in the entire Jianfeng Mountain. The lowest spiritual cave is for the Qi Training Cultivator. These spiritual caves are only a few hundred feet in size.
The female cultivator Ran Qing, who guided Ding Xing, was a Jindan stage monk. The third floor of the mountain-surrounding Lingfu space she lives in is more than ten miles wide.
At this time, the cave where Eunuch Que and Grandma Ni took Ding Xing to visit was opened on the fifth floor.
Ding Xing followed the two of them into a spiritual cave hall and saw a radiant array gate erected on one side. The door was filled with two spiritual energy, ice and fire, and after they met each other, they had the power of teleportation.
After entering, Ding Xing was on the top of a snowy peak.
He looked around and saw grass and trees at the foot of the mountain, green and green, and the entire forest was 100 miles in size.
He looked up again, and the sky showed a fiery red color, which looked like the scene at dusk.
"This is the unique ice and fire spirit cave of Jianfeng Mountain!" Eunuch Que pointed it out and introduced it to Ding Xing: "This kind of ice and fire barrier is rare. I have never seen a similar cave space in other places for so many years."
Earlier, Ding Xing heard Ran Qing mention the Ice and Fire Spirit Cave, but Ding Xing didn't care at that time. After all, he had even settled in the Cave Heaven and the Blessed Land of the Evolution of the True Treasures of the Prehistoric Realm. No matter how powerful the Ice and Fire Spirit Cave is, it is definitely not as good as the True Treasure Cave.
However, Eunuch Que’s next introduction surprised Ding Xing a lot.
"More than ten thousand years ago, Jianfeng Mountain was just a big volcano. There was only one kind of earth-slurry fire in the mountain, which was extremely hot. Except for the monks who were born with spiritual fire physique, it was difficult for the rest to move in and practice!
Later, an accident occurred at the bottom of the mountain, and a kind of cold air of snow and wood was born. After this cold air was mixed with the earth's slurry fire, it could actually blend ice and fire, evolve into a natural barrier, and continuously produce spiritual energy!"
Ding Xing was really eye-opening: "What I mean is that the cave barriers in Jianfeng Mountain were not artificially opened up, they were all naturally formed?"
Eunuch Que smiled and nodded: "The pavilion was built by us, and the barrier in the pavilion is natural! When I was the first to discover Jianfeng Mountain, when I first entered the mountain, the Ice and Fire Spirit Cave was born!
A single earth slurry fire or a single snow wood cold air, although all are spiritual, are not rare. If you look for a snow-fire star, you can find spiritual energy that is the same as them. But once they merge, a brand new change appears. This is the unique wonder!"
Ding Xing couldn't help asking: "The fire of the earth slurry should be from the center of the earth. Where does the cold air of the snow wood that the predecessors said come from?"
This is the issue that Ding Xing cares most.
He speculated that Xuemu's cold air was related to Xuemos, but it was not confirmed for the time being.
Eunuch Que couldn't give the answer, and the mud grandma beside him who had been silent suddenly interrupted: "I have refined a black mud puppet that can walk through obsidian and sneak into the bottom of the mountain to investigate many times, but I can't find the source of the snow wood spiritual energy. The only discovery is that the deeper the earth, the more intense the snow wood spiritual energy becomes."
"Since you can't find the source, how can you determine that it is the spiritual energy of Xuemu?"
"This is the inference I came up with after identification!"
Grandma Ni collected the snow wood aura and compared it with the spiritual energy similar to the immortal world. She found that the spiritual energy contained the snow wood aura.
But the specific type of snow wood with the roots is still unretrievable.
This requires Ding Xing to study it slowly.
"When I was climbing the mountain just now, I saw that six-story caves were opened around the mountain. Is there only so many on the mountain?" Ding Xing changed the topic.
Eunuch Que and Grandma Ni took him to the fifth floor. He needed to ask clearly whether he had to settle down on this floor.
But I heard Eunuch Que laugh and said, "The cave in Jianfeng Mountain actually has nine levels. The first level is the residence of juniors in Qi training stage, and the second level is the residence of juniors in Xuanfei stage. Each level is the upward level, the residents' cultivation level will be improved by one level, but this is not the rule set by me!
I first chose to live in the sixth level. In order to show my respect for me, I lived in the fifth level. If fellow Taoist Xiao Ding, you want to settle down in the sixth level and be your neighbors, I will never chase you down when I welcome you. After all, there are so many caves around the mountain, and I feel deserted!"
Since it is respect, Ding Xing will definitely not break this rule.
"The fifth level is very good. I am very satisfied. I will reopen the mansion here!" Ding Xing hurriedly stated, "I am just curious. The secret world of Jianfeng Mountain is as high as the ninth level. Why don't the two seniors stay in the ninth level?"
"Oh, the seventh level is up, and the portal cannot be found at all!" Eunuch Que said helplessly: "When I first came, the portals from the first to the sixth level did not appear. I was also inadvertently capturing the direction of the array gate when I was checking in the mountains, which led to the secret world of Jianfeng Mountain being revealed to the world!
My cultivation level is in the first realm of the Three Flowers, and I can only sense the sixth level of secret realm at most, and I can’t do it any further!"
Ding Xing thought that Eunuch Que and Grandma Ni lived halfway through the mountain to keep a low profile. It turned out that it was because of insufficient magic power and was not qualified to live on the top of the mountain.
The nine-level secret realm of Jianfeng Mountain has a larger space than the other. The first six levels alone can accommodate hundreds of thousands of monks in their practice. If the seventh to the ninth levels are also opened, there will be no problem with the exponential number of monks living in it.
However, it is not easy to open the secret realm from the seventh to the ninth level. This requires the cultivator like Zhu Jiujie who has perfected the Three Flower Realm himself to take action.
Thinking of this, Ding Xing asked: "This time, I was wandering to the Shenyue Star Sea. I was not alone. I also had a companion with me. However, I was separated from Xinghai. We made an appointment to meet here. His magic name is Zhu Jiujie. I wonder if the two seniors have heard of his name?"
Ding Xing and Zhu Jiujie have been separated for ten years. If Zhu Jiujie was not caught by the monk Taiyan, he should have arrived at the Shenyue Star Sea.
"Zhu Jiujie? This Dharma name is extremely strange and I have never heard of it!" Eunuch Que and Grandma Ni shook their heads together, saying that they had never heard of it.
Eunuch Que helped: "Fellow Daoist Xiao Ding, fellow Taoists who are hiding in the Shenyun Sea generally hide their names. If you only report a name, it is difficult for us to investigate. You should disclose his origin, magical powers and commonly used treasures. In this way, when your fellow Taoists go out to do business, they will be easier to find clues when they inquire."
Grandma Ni also looked cold and warm: "Half of the fellows in An's family in Jianfeng Mountain have lost relatives and friends. Every time someone leaves Obsidian Xingchen, she will help inquire about the whereabouts of these relatives and friends. It happens that a few days later I will go to Fuyinxing to exchange for a batch of herbs. The stars are so yin, but the number of monks is several times more than that of ours. The news is very informative. You can tell me the situation of the fellow Taoist named Zhu in detail, and I will go and ask for you at that time."
"What is Fuyin Star?"
"That is the old nest of the ghost monk! In the Shenyue Star, any monk whose body has been destroyed, no matter which clan comes from, if he cannot take over the body, he will go to Fuyin Star to settle down!"
Since the formation of the Shenmo Star Sea, a large number of desperate people have rushed in every year. However, because they came from different ethnic groups, wars have erupted all year round, and the number of monks has never exceeded one million.
Those who have lost their physical body are even more like crucian carp crossing the river. They cannot find a suitable physical body to seize the body, so they can only turn to the ghost realm. However, after becoming ghosts, they will be rejected by the monks of their own clan, and they have to build a new home on Fuyin Star.
Fu Yinxing is also the only star in Shenyue's territorial group. When their body is still there, they belong to different forces. After becoming ghosts, they began to live in all races.
The stars of other single tribes are all secretly living in peace with Fuyin Star, because any tribe can find their former relatives and old friends on Fuyin Star.
There are so many acquaintances that I can’t fight at all.
Over time, Fu Yin Star has become the default neutral star for monks of all walks of life. The black goods robbed by monks often get Fu Yin Star to sell stolen goods.
Grandma Ni said that she went to Fuyinxing to exchange herbs, just to find ghost cultivators from the human race to do business. These ghost cultivators have friendship with ghost cultivators from other races, and the news spreads like this.
As long as the news happened in the Shenyue Sea, ghost cultivators could find out without exception. Even the major events happened outside the Shenyue Sea, they knew it well.
Grandma Ni talked about Fu Yinxing's situation.
After hearing this, Ding Xing felt it was necessary to go to Fu Yinxing to inquire. Ten years ago, he and Zhu Jiujie were hunted by the Lie Shui Sect. This sect's disciples are well-known in the entire Taiyan Star Domain because of their rare Taoism. If he asked Grandma Ni to directly inquire about the major events that have happened in the Lie Shui Sect in recent years, he might have gained something.
He then bowed to Grandma Ni: "My old friend, I, had fought with the Lie Shui Sect ten years ago outside Xinghai. In order to cover the younger generation, he fell near Zijixing. He also asked his mother-in-law to help inquire whether he was suppressed by Lie Shui Sect and Zijixing monks!"
If he was not suppressed, Zhu Jiujie would come to Obsidian Star soon.
If suppressed, Ding Xing will definitely go to the Lie Shui Sect and Zi Ji Xing to save people in the future.
Ding Xing was not worried that Zhu Jiujie would die. No star monk in Luogu's deep space would kill the Yang clam bead and suppress it into a continuous tool for prolonging life. This was their first choice.
"Purple Star?" Grandma Ni suddenly frowned: "That star is not the ancestor star of the Taiyan clan. All the monks on the star are from the Zixiao clan. This clan claims to be a remnant of the immortal clan. His supernatural powers are similar to those of the Taiyan clan. Moreover, there is a Zhenjun guarding the Guizhen period on the star. Your old friend cannot escape from the Zhenjun's nose!"
"This is not necessarily true!" Ding Xing was full of confidence: "My old friend is not an ordinary monk in the Three Flower Realm!"
"Fellow Daoist Xiao Ding, what do you mean?" Grandma Ni and Eunuch Que said in unison: "Your old friend is also a true lord!"
In the Luogu deep space, in addition to the cultivators of the prehistoric world, the Three Flower Realm True Lord is one of the group of monks with the peak of magic power in the Luogu deep space.
If a true king can be invited to protect him on Obsidian Star, he will be safe and worry-free in the future.
After Ding Xing revealed Zhu Jiujie's cultivation level in Guizhen period, Grandma Ni and Eunuch Que became excited.
Grandma Ni almost left on the spot and went straight to Fuyin Star to inquire about Zhu Jiujie's news, but she thought about it that the True Lord of Guizhen Period has the ability to travel through major star fields and will never stay here. Even if Zhu Jiujie is invited to Obsidian Star, she will probably be a temporary stop and will return to the Ancestral Star sooner or later.
If Zhu Jiujie is unwilling to take her and Eunuch Que to the ancestral star of the human race, then even if she welcomes Zhu Jiujie here, she will be happy.
She pressed her anxiety and promised Ding Xing: "Purple Star is not far from the Shenyu Sea. Every few years, monks over there will come to exile. Senior Zhu's news should be able to be found out."
Throughout history, whenever a true king from the Guizhen period fights outside a certain star, the news will inevitably spread to nearby stars. Therefore, as long as a monk there escapes to the sea of Shenyue, the news can be found out.
After that, Grandma Ni and Eunuch Que's enthusiasm for Ding Xing became a little more high, and they insisted on pulling him to live in the Sixth Mountain.
Ding Xing refused and made a quick decision to choose the cave in the barrier that he was visiting.
Seeing that Grandma Ni and Eunuch Que had a firm attitude, they could only agree.
Ding Xing is a newly settled outsider. He will not occupy an ice and fire spirit cave for no reason. He will not refuse his obligations that he deserves.
Earlier, at the foot of the mountain, Ding Xing learned that the Zi Mansion monk was on the rotation to guard the mountain magic circle, and the Chaoyuan period monk should have an errand work, so he asked Grandma Ni and Eunuch Que.
The two of them only said one thing: "Except when you encounter an invasion, you need to take action to defend Jianfeng Mountain by fellow Daoist Xiao Ding, nothing else will disturb you. You can practice with peace of mind."
“Where do the invasion mainly come from?”
"A war broke out in ancient times, almost all the stars in the Shenyue Star. There are only a few stars that are still intact. Except for the neutral Fuyin Star, the rest are all enemies. They will invade Obsidian Star every other period of time and try to occupy Jianfeng Mountain. The war is quite intensive. Fellow Daoist Xiao Ding, you must be mentally prepared!"
"What stars do they come from and which alien races are they from?"
"I can't explain them clearly to you for a while. I will ask my boys to send you a scroll, which records their information in detail, and you will know at a glance."
Grandma Ni was careful. When she mentioned Shi Tongzi, she reminded Ding Xing more: "Every spiritual cave at the foot of the mountain has opened a recruitment hall. If you want to find someone to serve, you only need to pass the news to the recruitment hall, from juniors in Qi training stage to monks in Zifu stage, you will all come to apply for the recruitment. You can choose whatever you want."
Ding Xing had this plan for a long time, so he didn't have to worry about it. When Grandma Ni and Eunuch Que's boy came to deliver the scroll, he directly told the boy and called Ran Qing here.
Grandma Ni and Eunuch Que talked about some of the matters of moving in, so they said goodbye and left, and asked Ding Xing to clean up the cave by himself.
Before leaving, the two agreed to hold a big banquet in three days, and then they would introduce Ding Xing to their colleagues in the mountains.
