Chapter 45: Shahaiyue Ban
The spiritual energy of the Juanchen Mountains has dried up, and the spiritual fruit and spiritual trees have long disappeared.
However, there is a "breed of sword energy in the mountains" left in the mountains, which can be used by monks to explore and seek treasures. There are also a large number of monsters occupying them, so they can attract monks to visit all year round.
These monks occupied mountains and built cities, opened up territories, and maintained order.
The mountain city is all built at the front of the northern end of the Juanchen Mountains. This is because there are big monsters roaming the abdomen of the mountain. Unless you enter the inside to explore, the monks will not come, let alone stay forever.
Old Man Shen just said: "The monk Juanchen has opened up a mountain city on all the peaks at the end of the mountain." Only the peaks at the end of the mountain have residences. After going deep into the mountain for dozens of miles, there is absolutely no cultivator's cave.
On the way to the mountain city, Old Man Shen introduced to Ding Xing: "The wild cultivation has a territory for the wild cultivation, and we have our strongholds. Although everyone comes to Juanchen Mountain to explore, they will not cross the border with each other."
A group of indigenous monks live in the Juanchen Mountains, and they live in the same place with the wild cultivators.
The seven major sects of Wei Kingdom and the Xianzhuang under its jurisdiction all year round have disciples traveling south. The territory is adjacent to the Shogong Mountain and Lianfeng Valley of the Juanchen Mountains, and even disciples enter the mountain every day.
Shougong Mountain inherits the method of taming beasts, and refining Fenggu inherits the method of refining weapons.
These two sects, relying on the mountains and using the mountains, almost treat the Juanchen Mountains as their own private territory. If the mountain range had not been too vast and they were not able to occupy it, they would not have allowed wild repairmen to set up camps.
Because the two sects are very close to Juanchen Mountain, their disciples frequently traveled. Later, they saw that there were disciples passing by among other sects, so they simply built a stronghold on the mountain and provided it to each sect for use.
Ding Xing and the other two have carefully selected the route. After arriving at Juanchen Mountain, they have already looked for any mountain city they should settle in in advance.
The mountain city they rushed to was built by monks from Shougongshan.
After reaching the foot of the mountain, they looked up at the scale of the city.
It is said that it is a city, but it is actually a simple cave opened along the mountain. It looks like a cave, with hundreds of caves, and occasionally a sword light comes in and out of the cave gate.
It is shabby, primitive, and uncomfortable. This is Ding Xing’s initial impression of observing the mountain city.
But even such a small city can bring together the monks of the seven sects, and there is no need to worry about being defeated by the wild cultivators.
Ding Xing was just watching when he suddenly saw a little boy walking down the mountain steps.
When he arrived, the little boy bent down and saluted, and then asked, "Where are the three distinguished guests coming from?"
Ding Xing stood behind Old Man Shen and Grandma Meng. He didn't have to be responsible for negotiations, he just listened and learned the scriptures.
Old Man Shen replied: "We are from Luzhou! Brother, are there disciples of Qiongtai Sect settled in the city?"
The little boy turned around and pointed: "Of course there are many, so many! In the past month, Jinlu Xianzhuang, which was brewing wine for Qiongtai, has several waves of monks. Old man, are you from the sect or the Immortal Village under your jurisdiction?"
This boy is only about ten years old, but he has a smart face and his eyes look at people with a scrutiny.
If Ding Xing and the other two were monks of the upper sect, he would be "polite" and "respectful". If he was a servant monk under his jurisdiction, he would send him away at will. The cave in the mountains could not allow Ding Xing and the other two to live in vain. He had to charge a fee at his discretion.
Old Man Shen is an old man, and he laughed: "Brother, you are leading the way and arrange our cave near Monk Jinlu."
"There is no problem to arrange the cave, but each person needs to pay a spirit stone for one month! Old man, this spirit stone is not something I want, but a predecessor in the Xuanfei period of Shougong Mountain. He is responsible for guarding this mountain city. If you provoke Ye Xiu during your adventure and hide in the city, it is absolutely safe!"
"I understand! Each piece of the month is a tribute, so we will give you the spirit stone first!"
"It's so bad! Old uncle, old aunt, old brother... Oh, it's my brother! Please follow me and I'll take you to find the cave!"
Ding Xing and the other two chuckled and went up the mountain together.
On the way, Old Man Shen kept asking the little boy for information and accidentally asked for some important information.
I heard the little boy preaching seriously: "Since the old man comes from Jinlu Xianzhuang, you must have come to open the mountain ants and Jinlu Liquid, right?"
Old Man Shen asked him back: "Is this matter revealed to you by my disciple Zhuang?"
The little boy shook his head: "No, this news was first reported by the wild cultivator "Three Corpse Old Monsters"! In fact, since three years ago, everyone was making noises and saying that a winery under Qiongtai sent under his jurisdiction was unlucky and threw a spiritual cellar, but it was not confirmed. Half a year ago, the "Three Corpse Old Monsters" fought with the monks in your village, and more than a dozen people died, so everyone confirmed this matter."
The more the news spreads, the less likely it is to recover Lingjiao and Jinlu Liquid.
But Old Man Shen came to Juanchen Mountain this time just to find his daughter. He did not chat too much with the little boy and asked, "Brother, how many people are there for me and my disciples go out, and how many people are there left behind in the cave?"
The little boy happened to know: "Everyone goes out, no one is left! Old man, I tell you the truth. They have all entered the 'Sand Sea Moon Ban'. No one can tell when they will come back!"
Old Man Shen's heart sank and began to worry about his daughter again. His tone was a little anxious: "Shahaiyue Ban? Where is this Ban? What is the special thing about it? It actually attracted all the disciples of my village?"
The little boy did not respond, looked at the sky with his eyes slanted, holding a spirit stone in his hand, throwing it away again and again.
Ding Xing saw his virtue behind him and thought that he was a little wealthy fan, so he threw a spirit stone to him: "Hurry up!"
"Brother, you are so generous! If you have spirit stones, you will have the answer!" The boy winked at Ding Xing before he preached to Old Man Shen:
"Since the old monster of the Three Corpse opened up this matter, almost all the monks in the Juanchen Mountains were alarmed. After deduction and analysis, everyone finally identified six places where mountain ants might hide. The other five have been searched, but there are no traces of mountain ants. The last place is the "Sand Sea Moon Ban". Everyone is looking for them in it."
Even if it is a local snake, it is not easy to search an ant demon among the mountains.
Speaking of this, the little boy poked the three of them with his fingers: "You are here in time. If you are a little later, the mountain ants will be caught! I advise you not to waste your time, and to enter the ban quickly while there is no moonlight tonight, and then change will occur later."
"Moonlight?" Ding Xing and the other two were confused: "Why is this?"
They roughly understand the situation in the Juanchen Mountains, but they don’t know the various sword energy restrictions in the mountains.
The little boy enjoyed this kind of way of guiding others, and his nostrils were upturned: "This forbidden is actually called the Sword Forbidden of Sand Sea. Because when the moonlight shines, the forbidden is extremely strong. Not to mention you, even the predecessors in the Xuanfei period cannot break it. However, when the moonlight disappears, for example, the ban will loosen tonight, and you can easily enter, so you have the name of the Moon Forbidden! I look at the celestial phenomena at night, tomorrow is sunny, and you can't get in even if you want to!"
After hearing this, Ding Xing remembered the "Paper Soldier under the Moon" again. It was also powerful when the moon came out. He felt that the little boy was not lying.
But he would rather be found by outsiders than have to ban the ban.
