[There are a lot of things going on today, so there are only 5,000 words left.]
It seemed that the mana left by the old demon from Montenegro was exhausted by Zhou He's headbutt just now.
Then I saw the hundreds of meters huge Black Mountain Seal slowly shrinking, and after a while, it became the size of a fist.
Zhou He immediately reached out and grabbed the Black Mountain Seal.
[Black Mountain Seal (recognized owner)]: A top-quality spiritual weapon refined from the Black Mountain body of the old Black Mountain demon. Once used, it can turn into a huge Black Mountain to suppress the enemy with tens of millions of power.
Zhou He wanted to put the Black Mountain Seal away like a storage box, but found that it didn't move at all.
"What's going on? Because you recognize your master, you can't take him in?"
Zhou He wanted to grab the Black Mountain Seal in his hand, but found that the Black Mountain Seal was floating in the air without moving at all.
With just such a catch, it seemed that the last bit of the Black Mountain Demon's magic power had truly dissipated.
Without the maintenance of mana, the Black Mountain Seal fell directly towards the ground.
Zhou He suddenly staggered, and his arm was directly hit to the ground by the black mountain seal.
"uh-huh!"
Zhou He groaned and fell to the ground, his palms bursting under the pressure of the Black Mountain Seal.
But the Black Mountain Seal was pressing towards the ground at an extremely fast speed.
The weight of the Black Mountain Seal is so huge, and it is so small that the ground cannot bear it and can only sink toward the ground.
"What happened?" Zhou He now had no idea why the Black Mountain Seal was like this.
Zhou He ignored the exploding palm, took out the peach wood sword, and then used the sword technique to summon several true flying swords.
The spirit controlled these true flying swords to turn into drill bits, and then they suddenly burrowed into the ground, and then immediately jumped down from the dug hole.
Not long after, Zhou He caught up with Heishan Yin which was still sinking.
Zhou He wanted to stop it from sinking, but there was no way.
Because the Black Mountain Seal was too heavy, no matter whether he smashed it with his fist or used magic power to hold it up, it had no effect at all.
After sinking for thousands of meters, the speed began to slow down because it had reached the rock layer.
"What is going on?" Zhou He was a little confused.
This Black Mountain Seal is really too powerful. It is absolutely impossible to let the meat fly just like this.
When Zhou reached out again, the information about the Black Mountain Seal appeared in his mind again. Suddenly, Zhou He knew the reason.
[Black Mountain Seal (Ownerless)]: A top-quality spiritual weapon refined from the Black Mountain body of the old Black Mountain demon. Once used, it can turn into a huge Black Mountain to suppress the enemy with tens of millions of power.
Note: In the ownerless state, all weight will be released.
When he saw the news, Zhou He finally understood why this thing kept sinking.
It turned out that it was the old demon of Montenegro who had lost contact with the seal of Montenegro.
Zhou He thought for a moment and realized what the old demon from Black Mountain had planned.
The Black Mountain Old Demon left this Black Mountain Seal, firstly to stop Zhou He and allow him to escape safely.
Once it is safe, directly disconnect yourself from the Black Mountain Seal and make it ownerless.
The Black Mountain Seal that has become ownerless will release its weight and sink toward the ground. No matter how powerful Zhou He is, he cannot stop it or take it away.
Even if Zhou He sacrifices and refines it, he cannot refine it. This Black Mountain Seal can still return to his hands in the end.
As for the Taoism lost by cutting off the natal spiritual weapon, the old demon of Black Mountain can recover it in a few decades. When he regains his strength, he can re-sacrifice the Black Mountain Seal when he comes back.
For the Montenegro old demon's nearly eternal lifespan, a few decades is really too short.
You must know that the Black Mountain Old Demon attained enlightenment from a huge Black Mountain in the underworld. He has lived for thousands of years. Does a mountain have a lifespan? Therefore, the most important thing the Black Mountain Demon lacks is time.
"It's a really good move, but you may be disappointed."
Zhou He sneered, slapped his chest, and spurted out a large mouthful of blood.
With this mouthful of essence and blood spurting out, Zhou He's face shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the breath in his body dropped rapidly.
If you want to sacrifice a spiritual weapon, you need to drip your own blood and essence on it to create a connection with the spiritual weapon.
For ordinary spiritual weapons, basically one drop of blood essence is enough. If a drop of blood essence is consumed, ordinary monks will have no serious problems and can recover within a few days.
However, this Black Mountain Seal is the original body of the Black Mountain Old Demon, and it is also a top-grade spiritual weapon. An ordinary Golden Elixir monk cannot successfully refine it even if all the blood and essence in his body is drained.
Zhou He's mouth almost sprayed out all the blood and essence in his body.
He doesn't have much else, he just has a lot of essence and blood.
Adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, Zhou He suddenly tore off his left arm, and then struck a blow on the broken arm.
In an instant, the blood in his body spurted out in one second and poured directly on the black mountain seal.
At this moment, Zhou He's breath was gone.
A few seconds later, black smoke rose into the air, and Zhou He was perfectly resurrected.
Immediately, Zhou He Yujian caught up with the Black Mountain Seal, and just like before, he spurted out blood essence, tore off his arm, and spurted out all the blood in his body.
Died, resurrected, died, resurrected, just like this, after Zhou He died about dozens of times, finally, Zhou He had a slight connection with the Black Mountain Seal.
Zhou He laughed and tore off his arm again, letting out blood.
After Zhou He was resurrected, he immediately established a connection with the Black Mountain Seal and began to perform sacrifices.
A few hours later, Zhou He stopped the ritual and frowned.
If there is a progress bar, the current progress is about 1%.
It only takes three hours to refine one percent, which is too slow.
Helpless, Zhou He once again used the essence and blood watering method.
Finally, an hour later, Zhou He successfully completed the ritual.
The Black Mountain Seal was suspended in Zhou He's palm, spinning blackly. There was a black light flowing on it, and a thick aura emanated from it. It looked so extraordinary.
As Zhou He thought, he saw the Black Mountain Seal turn into a black light and submerge into Zhou He's body.
A satisfied smile appeared on Zhou He's face.
Although the old Black Mountain demon was not left behind, getting this Black Mountain Seal is definitely not a loss.
Immediately, Zhou He's body suddenly rose into the sky and flew towards the ground quickly.
At this time, he was already thousands of meters deep underground.
The hardness of the ground here in the underworld is higher than that in the underworld. Otherwise, in the underworld, it would have reached the magma layer.
Returning to the ground, Zhou He glanced in the direction where the Black Mountain Old Demon fled. He did not go to the City of Wasted Death, but headed towards the Gate of Hell.
The old demon of Montenegro is not in a hurry, there are more important things to do next.
…
When Zhou He slowly returned to the gate of hell with his sword, he saw a terrifying scene.
I saw endless ghosts rushing towards the gate of hell, trying to enter the world of hell.
"Heaven and earth are infinite, and the universe is borrowed from the law!"
Boom boom boom
"The sword transforms into thousands, and the dragon roars to the nine heavens!"
"Nameless and formless, the sun and moon shine together!"
At the entrance to the Yang Realm, Yan Chixia was using her sword skills to kill the ghosts who entered the Yang Realm.
"Brother Zhou, what happened here? Why does the Ghost Gate appear here? There are too many ghosts."
Yan Chixia saw Zhou He and immediately said loudly.
"Be calm and watch my rebirth mantra!"
Looking at the countless ghosts, Zhou He calmly took out the big speaker he had that day.
"The Supreme Lord's decree transcends your lonely soul, all ghosts and ghosts, and is blessed by the four lives..."
Zhou He mobilized his magic power and used the lion's roar to recite the rebirth mantra.
Below, those ghosts that were rushing towards the Yangjian were all frozen in place.
Immediately, I saw those ghosts begin to disappear one by one.
Although some are already in the underworld, I agree that the rebirth mantra is also effective and sends them to the underworld.
When Zhou He was about to finish reciting the mantra for rebirth, no ghost could be seen within a few miles.
The ghosts in the distance also noticed that something was wrong, and scattered one after another, submerged into the darkness, and disappeared.
Immediately, Zhou He fell from mid-air and put the mahogany sword and the big horn into the storage box.
"Brother Zhou, what happened? I was sleeping when I suddenly noticed a lot of yin energy."
"When I arrived, the area near Guimen Pass was occupied by these fierce ghosts. If they hadn't needed to adapt to the human world, they would have gone to Guobei County long ago."
"With so many ghosts, it won't be long before the entire Guobei County becomes a ghost town." Yan Chixia said with lingering fear.
"Oh, when I was practicing sword control here, the old demon from Black Mountain appeared." Zhou He said.
"Old Monster of Black Mountain? That Old Monster of Montenegro who is the king of monsters in the underworld? Where is that old monster? Where is he?" Yan Chixia heard this and held the Xuanyuan Divine Sword in her hand, and instantly became extremely dignified.
"The human body he cultivated was destroyed by me, allowing his soul to escape." Zhou He said calmly.
"Escaped?" Yan Chixia looked suspicious.
He knew the name of the Black Mountain Old Demon. How could such a powerful being escape?
What's more important is that Zhou He seems to be fine and unscathed.
Zhou He spread out the palm of his right hand, and with a thought in his mind, he saw the Black Mountain Seal appear in his palm.
Zhou He said with a smile: "This Black Mountain Seal is what I snatched from the mobile phone of the Black Mountain Demon. If it weren't for it, the Black Mountain Demon would never be able to escape from my grasp."
"Is this a spiritual weapon?" Yan Chixia felt the terrifying aura of the Black Mountain Seal, and a look of shock suddenly appeared on her face.
"Isn't it just a spiritual weapon? There is no need to make such a fuss. As far as I know, your Xuanyuan Divine Sword is not weaker than my Black Mountain Seal." Zhou He said with a faint smile.
When Yan Chixia heard this, she smiled and said nothing.
However, then, his eyes fell on the door of hell, and he said, "What should we do about this?"
"I'll try to see if I can close it." Zhou He immediately stepped forward and reached out to touch the stone pillar of Gumen Pass.
[Ghost Gate (Virtual Shadow)]: It is the phantom of the real Ghost Gate, which can connect the two realms of Yin and Yang. Note: It will disappear after dawn.
Zhou He immediately laughed and said: "This is not the real gate of hell. It will disappear when the sun rises tomorrow..."
"That's good, that's good." Yan Chixia also breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.
If this hell gate remains open here, then the Yin Qi of the underworld will overflow, turning dozens of miles around into a ghost realm, and it will also spread.
The consequences of this are too terrifying.
…
The two of them didn't leave, they just waited here. During this period, some ghosts broke into the forbidden area, but they were all killed by Zhou He and Yan Chixia.
The next day, when the first ray of sunlight fell, they saw that the ghost gate gradually became illusory, and soon disappeared from their eyes.
"Huh, I'm really exhausted." Yan Chixia fell from mid-air to the ground and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"It's been a tiring day today, but the rewards are not small." Zhou He said with a smile.
When Yan Chixia heard this, she also laughed.
Indeed, the harvest is really quite a lot.
In this night, not to mention those little ghosts practicing Qi, they killed ten ghost generals in the foundation-building stage and harvested ten soul beads, plus some useless ghost weapons.
These ghost generals are all so poor that they don't even have a storage bag on them.
Of course, this doesn't matter. The most important thing is that they also killed a Golden Core Stage Ghost King.
I got a Ghost King Soul Bead and a storage bag.
This storage bag is much larger, with a size of 10X10X10. Unfortunately, there are not many things inside, only dozens of Yin stones, plus some miscellaneous broken things.
Oh, there is also a technique for cultivating ghosts, which is engraved on a jade slip. Zhou He also looked at it and found that the name of this technique is: Ghost Way.
It took me some time to share my feelings with Yan Chixia.
Each person has five foundation-stage soul beads, and each person has half of the golden elixir-stage soul beads. Yan Chixia doesn't want those ghost weapons, or the jade slip, and they are all collected by Zhou He.
As for the storage bag, Yan Chixia took it away, but he gave his 5X5X5 storage bag to Zhou He.
"It's been a hard night, let's have something to eat." Zhou He directly cast a small spell.
Suddenly, a piece of land on the ground protruded out, and soon a table and two chairs were formed.
"Haha, I'm just waiting." Yan Chixia laughed twice and sat on the chair immediately.
Zhou He chuckled, waved his hand, and took out some desserts, fruits, and meats, filling the table.
"I'm lucky today, I actually met a golden elixir ghost cultivator with a storage bag."
"I have killed so many monsters, but I have never met any monster with a storage bag." Yan Chixia ate the meat.
"Indeed, I haven't seen that tree demon grandma with a cultivation level in the middle stage of the Golden Core. It's really strange." Hearing this, Zhou He nodded.
The day before yesterday, when the tree demon grandma died, he went underground and searched for it with his spiritual consciousness. Except for the locust tree heart and the demon pill, he found nothing else at all.
"As far as I know, none of these monsters have the habit of using storage bags. Moreover, the storage bags themselves are very precious. Not many even human monks own them." Yan Chixia said.
"Haha, cheers. After eating, we will go to the capital." Zhou He picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
…
An hour later, the two of them were full of wine and food.
Zhou He stood up immediately and said, "Let's go back to the Chenghuang Temple first. I have something to explain."
"Yes." Yan Chixia nodded and followed Zhou He towards the City God's Temple.
Not long after, the two returned to the Chenghuang Temple.
At this time, the City God's Temple was still bustling with activity. The entire City God's Temple was filled with clouds and mist, filled with smoke from the incense candles.
Although it was noisy outside, it was not noisy inside. Everyone who came to worship was very well-behaved.
Zhou He and Yan Chixia appeared in the farmhouse behind.
Zhou He waved his hand and saw the figure of Old Man Wang suddenly appearing in front of him.
Old Man Wang felt his eyes flash as he suddenly arrived at the farmhouse from the main hall.
He was still stunned when suddenly he saw Zhou He and Yan Chixia standing in front of him.
Immediately, with a jolt, he was about to kneel to the ground, but he suddenly remembered what Zhou He said.
He paused suddenly, bowed quickly, and said respectfully: "I have met Lord Cheng Huang, and I have met Lord Yan."
"Brother Yan and I are going to the capital. I don't know when we will be back. You three will guard the City God's Temple here."
"Take these talismans and throw them out when you encounter an enemy that cannot cope with them." Zhou He took a stack of talismans and handed them to Old Man Wang.
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!" Old Man Wang looked excited.
"If Mr. Liu from Guobei County comes here, remember to give him this ghost-expelling talisman. After giving it to him, if he comes to your door again, you will do this...then that...and finally this." Zhou He
Said with a slight smile.
"Yes, yes, Lord City God, don't worry, there will be no problem." Old Man Wang assured him, patting his chest.
Zhou He smiled slightly, nodded, and immediately disappeared from the place with Yan Chixia.
…
Guobei County is 1,500 kilometers away from the capital.
If two people fly with swords, they can reach it in less than an hour.
However, that also consumes a lot of mana, so the two just used the ordinary technique of Soaring into the Clouds and Riding the Mist.
You can arrive probably in the afternoon.
Although it's a bit slow, it consumes very little mana and doesn't take much effort.
Just like that, an hour passed.
Looking at Yan Chixia who was still practicing, Zhou He curled his lips and immediately woke up Yan Chixia.
"Brother Yan, it's your turn to drive the clouds."
Yan Chixia was suddenly awakened, but she did not object. She immediately stopped cultivating and took over the control of Yun Duo from Zhou He.
"Ah! I'm so sleepy. I'm here. Call me." Zhou He huffed and fell directly onto the clouds and fell asleep.
Yan Chixia glanced at Zhou He, shook her head with a smile, and began to drive the clouds with concentration.
…
I don't know how long it took, but Zhou He was woken up by Yan Chixia in a daze.
"What's wrong? Are you there yet?" Zhou He stood up while clicking.
"Look, below." Yan Chixia was standing on the edge of the clouds, pointing downwards with one finger.
"What?" Zhou He walked over immediately and looked down.
"Huh? This is it." Zhou He looked at the scene below and his pupils suddenly shrank.
What I saw below was a village that was neither too big nor too small.
This village is built halfway up the mountain. There is only one road going down the mountain, which is very rugged.
However, at this time, a large number of villagers in the village were gathered in the open space of the village, with some corpses surrounding them.
And around these villagers, there were some tall figures guarding them.
Zhou He took a closer look and found that these guardians were actually monsters with wolf heads and bodies.
