Sitting and forgetting longevity

Chapter 575

The ancient mound dungeon charges a fee once you enter the city, no matter how long you stay in the city during the period, but as long as you go out and come back in, you have to pay the spirit stone again.Therefore, because of the sudden increase in the entrance fee, a large group of monks who were cash-strapped were blocked from the door.

100 yuan low-grade spirit stones, Nascent Soul monks like Liu Qinghuan naturally don't look down on them, but for those monks who can't even build a foundation, it is almost equivalent to their entire net worth, and the poor can't even make up 100 yuan.

Naturally, they did not want to accept this fact, so they gathered at the entrance to make a big noise, accusing and berating the insensitivity of those in power in the dungeon.

However, the dungeon side acted very tough. The high-spirited guards drove all the troublemakers out of the stone hall at the entrance, and after mercilessly killing the loudest among them, , the conflict was finally suppressed.

A black-haired, half-human, half-demon demon cultivator snorted indignantly, and dragged his friend out: "Let's go, it's been the bloody bad luck of eight lifetimes! We stayed outside the city for so long, early It's time to recognize the true colors of the ancient mound dungeons, they are more greedy than blood-sucking flies! Even if I have spirit stones, I won't give them half a piece!"

His friend is a young ghost cultivator with a blue face, and he said in frustration: "But, I heard that this swarm of corpse worms is extremely terrifying, and there are blood sickle stinging insects in it. Not enough for us to survive the bug swarm..."

"What are you afraid of!" the demon cultivator said through voice transmission: "There is no unparalleled road, I know there is a deep crypt nearby, let's hide there."

He turned his head and glanced at the entrance of the dungeon full of hatred: "Hmph! Do those people think it's really safe to hide in the ancient mound dungeon? I don't know how many dungeons have been breached and destroyed in the insect swarm. What do they do? Go to Spring and Autumn Dream!"

Ghost Xiu's eyes lit up, he didn't hear the curse words of his friends behind him, and hurriedly said: "Then what are you waiting for, let's go!"

Although the conversation between the two was through sound transmission, it was of course a fake in Liu Qinghuan's case. He watched the two people struggle to squeeze out from the noisy crowd and headed northeast all the way.

Liu Qinghuan sighed inwardly, the environment in the Nine Nether Realm was obviously colder and crueler than Yunmengze and the Yinyue Blood Realm, probably because the various ethnic groups living here mixed together, the cohesion was obviously poor.

Withdrawing his gaze, he looked towards the distant horizon.The sky in Jiuyou is always dark and heavy. It is neither like day nor night. Gusts of wind bring a biting coldness. For the time being, we haven't seen a corpse worm yet.

Turning around, the entrance of the dungeon finally returned to silence, and the monks who couldn't enter the city had already left to find a new place of refuge.

When the guards saw him, they wanted to stop him, but obediently let him go after being scolded by a winking leader.

Back in the dungeon, Liu Qinghuan stopped beside the coffin in the entrance hall and touched his chin with interest.

after one day.

The stone hall on the ground was completely closed two hours ago, and the formation was opened. The narrow passage leading to the entrance hall was covered with blood-red sand, and even the walls were covered with a thick layer. It exudes a strong and inexplicable strange smell.

The entire dungeon was as quiet as a real tomb. Everyone held their breath and remained silent, waiting for that moment to come.

Liu Qinghuan and the ghost cultivator named Shu Shang were guarding in a small room on the first floor of the dungeon, with a slightly sunken stone plate standing in front of them.

Shu Shang kept his face full of fear, and seemed to be still annoyed at being called out from the retreat, but at any rate, his attitude was much better than yesterday, and he chatted with Liu Qinghuan while waiting.

Changing his posture, Shu Shang casually said: "So, you just arrived in Jiuyou?"

Liu Qinghuan said: "Yeah, I didn't expect to encounter a swarm of corpse insects as soon as I came here. My luck is really good."

After he understood the basic situation of this world, he did not conceal his identity as an outside monk.

"What's the matter." Shu Shang said: "You will know after a long time. This place is always in such chaos all year round, and the bug swarm is just one of the smallest and most frequent occurrences. Those bugs are just a lot. The danger to us is basically not great, what is more terrifying is the ghost tide, the black tide, and various conquests. Several ghost emperors fight for territory and resources every 200 years. The boundary of killing and killing, and what is even more terrifying is the Nine Heavens War."

Liu Qinghuan was startled: "Nine Heavens War?"

Shu Shang chuckled a few times, his voice was extremely unpleasant.

"That's right, the battle of the Nine Heavens, or the battle between Jiuyou and Qingming from ancient times to the present." He said: "These two interfaces, one is above the Nine Heavens and the other is below the Nine Heavens, but it is controlled by the general of the Mingshan Battlefield. The two are connected. Like us..."

He compared himself and Liu Qinghuan: "If people like us go in, they will be the ones with the lowest cultivation level, and they can only be used as cannon fodder."

Liu Qinghuan snapped his tongue: "The Nascent Soul stage is all cannon fodder? Could it be that there are also monks in the Fusion stage and Mahayana stage?"

Shu Shang said lazily, "Maybe."

Liu Qinghuan took out the jade slip of a map that Chonghe had given him, and said, "I don't think the Battlefield of Mingshan is that big..."

Shu Shang came over to have a look, and said with a smile, "You don't really think it's just this big, do you? That's where the two great gods fight."

Liu Qinghuan couldn't help being very interested: "Have you ever gone in, what's the situation inside?"

Shu Shang clicked his tongue: "I'm not going. I have cultivated to the current state with great difficulty. Is it not seeking death if I go in? Although to encourage people from the two worlds to participate in the battle, the rewards inside are so rich that it makes people jealous. , then you have to live to enjoy it.”

After pondering for a while, Liu Qinghuan asked: "So, the highest cultivation level in Jiuyou is not the Ghost Emperor?"

"Hahaha, of course!"

"what?"

Shu Shang laughed loudly: "You don't think that Jiuyou only has the floor we are in now, do you?"

He pointed to the ground: "Nine nether worlds and ten worlds, each lower level is a world, and the level we are in is the first world, also known as the nether world. Don't think there are people like you who cultivate here." Existence, it is only because the space of the Netherworld is extremely fragile, you are in the wrong place. But further down, only us ghost cultivators and demon cultivators can enter when they have reached their cultivation level."

He patted Liu Qinghuan on the shoulder, and said in the tone of a senior: "Now you know, this is the reason why Jiuyou and Qingming are both called God's Domain."

Liu Qing smiled and nodded, it was absolutely impossible for him to understand these things in Yunmengze.So far, he has a little understanding of the whole big world.

There are Qingming on the top, Jiuyou on the bottom, and countless interfaces in the middle, which are divided into three levels: large, medium and small.And Yunmengze is just the smallest interface among them.

He suddenly remembered something and said, "Have you heard of the Wanhu world?"

"Wanhu?" Shu Shang thought for a while, "One of the three thousand great worlds, right? It is said that that world is composed of tens of thousands of small interfaces, and it is very easy to split. I think it is bullshit."

"What do you mean?"

"Tens of thousands of small worlds?" Shu Shang curled his lips: "Isn't that bigger than Jiuyou, how is it possible! But 'easy to split' must be true. I once met a person who came from the Ten Thousand Dendrobium world. He said that the most common thing that the Mahayana monks in their interface do is to retrieve the split interface, which makes them busy all day long and exhausting. Hehe, I think that if it is split, it will be split, but it is the interface It’s just downgrading, haha.”

When Liu Qinghuan heard this, she felt mixed feelings.He still clearly remembered what Xun Weng said back then, saying that Yunmengze was a fragment of Wanhu, so it might be true.

Judging from the three interfaces he walked through, no matter it is the Yinyue Blood Realm or the famous Nine Nether Realm, there is no such strong aura as Yunmengze. As many as dozens of places.

All of this is probably because Yunmengze used to belong to a big interface, right?
Shu Shang asked: "By the way, you haven't said which interface you came from..."

Just as Liu Qinghuan was about to answer, a yellow light suddenly emitted from the center of the stone plate in front of him, shot into the air and spread out in a fan shape, turning into a light curtain.

What is reflected in the light curtain is the desolate scene outside, the hazy distant mountains, the rough gravel ground, and the dim sky.

Shu Shang stretched out his pale finger and touched lightly on the light curtain, and the picture began to rotate, as if someone was turning his head to look around.

Liu Qinghuan stretched out her hand, and suddenly said, "Here!"

As soon as Shu Shang's fingers stopped, a black line appeared at the end of the endless plain.

The black line traveled extremely fast, like a black cloud rushing from the sky, but it was much closer in a moment.

Shu Shang sat up straight, with a dignified look on his face: "So many!"

He cursed a few times in a low voice, and shouted loudly to the monks guarding the door: "Go and tell everyone to get ready, the bug swarm is coming!"

As the black cloud surged towards the mountain at a speed like a tsunami, its true face was clearly projected on the light curtain.

Liu Qinghuan only felt a tingling sensation in her scalp, and a chill ran up her back.

I saw hideous and ugly black bugs huddled together, flying in the sky and crawling on the ground, densely packed, covering the sky and covering the earth, the momentum is extremely terrifying!

In terms of his experience, he was well-informed. Whether it was the beast horde back then, or the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood on the battlefield later, nothing could compare to the strong disgust he felt when he saw the swarm of insects at this moment.

It was a mishmash of nausea, trembling, horror, and other feelings, and the hairs all over his body exploded, numb from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.

When he turned his head, he saw that Shu Shang was rubbing his arms vigorously, and his face was twisted together: "Damn, I can't stand the way these bugs gather together, every time I see it, I get goosebumps." I can't wait to set them on fire!"

Liu Qinghuan smiled wryly, but he couldn't help but look. He pointed to some red dots and large worms in the swarm: "This is what you call the blood sickle stinger, what about this one?"

Shu Shang said gloomyly: "These are blood slugs. Their attack is not high, but they will self-destruct. If there are too many of them, even a large magic circle can't withstand the power of their self-destruction."

Liu Qinghuan thought for a while: "Can they burrow into the ground?"

"It won't."

"That's okay, we are a dungeon, so the threat shouldn't be too great."

Shu Shang's face still didn't improve: "Blood sickle stingers are actually rare, but this time there are many more than we expected before. Apart from the entrance, it seems that we have to prevent them from coming in from other sources."

As he spoke, he dispatched troops and generals for a while, and discussed other countermeasures with Liu Qinghuan.

While the two were talking, the overwhelming insects were much closer. Even though they were underground and separated by a large protective formation, they still felt the slight vibration from the ground.

The vibration gradually increased, as if thousands of horses and troops were galloping overhead, rumbling like thunder, followed by the sound of wing elytra flapping, and the small but low-pitched but terrifying cries of insects.

Liu Qinghuan suddenly said in a deep voice, "Here we are."

While speaking, there were only countless insects covering the sky and sun on the light curtain in front of him, as if the sky had suddenly turned dark.

Where the zombie swarm passed, there was no grass on the ground, and the stone houses built by low-level monks collapsed under the impact of the insects. Even the stone palace at the entrance was not spared, and collapsed into ruins.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion among the worms, but it was a low-level monk who had not been able to enter the city hiding in the stone house. When the stone house fell, he was completely exposed to the worms.

Fortunately, his body was also covered with Ganghuo sand, and those ordinary corpse worms didn't like the smell of the sand so much, they bypassed him one after another.He curled up in a ball as much as possible in the ruins of stones, hoping to survive this disaster smoothly.

However, this time the swarm did not only have corpse worms, but also a large number of blood sickle stingers.This kind of worm is too big, with two pairs of sharp forelimbs like a sickle, which can cut gold and stone with a single stroke.

The low-level cultivator was discovered by this kind of bug that was not afraid of Ganghuosha, and couldn't hide any longer, and fled in panic while throwing spells.However, there was no way he could escape in the vast sea of ​​insects. After a while, he screamed and rolled around on the ground, gradually disappearing.

This scene was faithfully presented on the light curtain. Liu Qinghuan silently frowned as she looked at the pale skeleton left after the flesh and blood had been devoured in the blink of an eye under the darkness of the sky.

Shu Shang only glanced at it, then turned his gaze away without moving, picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip.

Now they just have to wait, when the bug swarm is all over, they will be safe.

The waiting time was long and boring, and the two continued to chat with each other.

Shu Shang asked: "Fellow Daoist Qingmu, are you going to participate in Emperor Zhaoyang's concubine acceptance ceremony this time?"

Liu Qinghuan lowered her eyes, picked up her wine glass, and said, "I do have such a plan, how about you, Fellow Daoist?"

"No." Shu Shang said with a slight disdain on his face, "I'm going to continue retreating."

Liu Qinghuan's heart moved, she considered for a while, and said: "By the way, ask fellow daoists about someone."

"Oh, who?"

"Red clothes."

Shu Shang turned to look at him, and said with a playful smile, "I can't tell! That's the most beloved side concubine of Emperor Luo Da, who was born in the powerful Sen Luo City. What do you want to know about her?"

　The setting of the big world has come out, Sahua~ The characteristic of this book is probably that unlike other fairy tale novels, when the protagonist is practicing Qi, he can only come into contact with monks in the foundation stage at most, and when the protagonist is at the golden core, he can only contact the monks of the Yuan Dynasty at most. When the baby monk came into contact, it seemed that the whole world was upgrading with the protagonist's upgrade.In the author's opinion, the world is not divided. In addition, the main line of the book is about war, so it is impossible to avoid writing about monks at other stages. Therefore, the protagonist may encounter Nascent Soul when practicing Qi, and of course he will also encounter Nascent Soul when he is practicing Qi. Encounter Qi training.
