After pondering for a moment, Liang Yan slowly said: "This person's request is so arrogant and unreasonable, I believe the city lord will not agree to him."
"certainly!"
Shennong Hu said seriously: "Although Hu is not talented, he dare not forget the teachings of his ancestors. Langhuan Continent is the place that the first generation Shennong guarded with his life. Most of the people living here are the descendants of those who were close to their ancestors. They are because of Shennong
Tuoer offended the Queen Mother of the West and almost suffered annihilation, so our mission as Shennong in the past is to protect Langhuan Continent, how could we surrender to Tiangong City?"
"The Lord of the City has a clear warning." Liang Yan said with deep understanding: "Juntian City is protected by a barrier. You must not open the city to surrender, otherwise you will be seeking death. Besides, we cannot predict what will happen after surrendering. Instead of doing this, it is better to control your destiny.
In your own hands."
"What you said makes sense." Shennong Hu nodded slightly.
"But I still have a question. Qingqing told me that Juntian City is built on the back of a divine turtle named 'Juntian', and 'Juntian' has to spit out the city every fifty years.
When it is received, dozens of spiritual energy vortexes will be randomly generated, becoming the connection channel between Langhuan Continent and the outside world. Since the person who sent the message to the city lord can find the location of Juntian City, why didn't he come in directly. With all due respect, in this way
I’m afraid no one in Juntian City can resist a person’s magical power, right?”
After hearing Liang Yan's doubts, Shennong Hu smiled slightly and said: "Young friend, I don't know that there is a limit to the pressure that these connecting passages can withstand. The monks below the Transformation Tribulation Realm can come in and out freely, and the monks at the Transformation Tribulation Realm can pass through.
The passage may be in danger of collapse. As for the strong saints, once they enter the spiritual energy passage, the passage will immediately collapse. Therefore, no matter how high the person's cultivation level is, he cannot bypass the barrier of Juntian City and escape from these spiritual energy passages.
Sneak in."
When Liang Yan heard this, there was a strange look on his face. After a while, he slowly said: "The city lord must have noticed that there was an injury in my body, which caused the realm to fall. According to you, if I had not fallen to the realm in the first place,
, even if you discover the spiritual energy vortex, you may not be able to enter Langhuan Continent?"
"Indeed." Shennong Hu nodded and said, "The probability that a monk in the Transformation Tribulation Realm can enter Langhuan Continent is probably less than 20%. Only when the spiritual energy channel is very strong can he successfully enter."
"If you put it this way, there are definitely a lot of Tribulation Realm monks sent by Tiangong City, but there are only three people who have successfully sneaked in. This may be considered good news."
"That's right."
Shennong Hu smiled, but his smile looked a little lonely.
"Why is the city lord worried?"
"well"
Chief Shennong sighed and said: "I hate myself for not using it. I think about the time when our ancestor Shennong Tuo was extremely talented and magnificent. He set foot in the holy realm by his own strength, and then created such mysterious skills as the "Shennong Emperor Sutra". It is a pity that future generations will
However, the qualifications of my descendants are mediocre, and none of them can enter the Holy Realm. A hundred years ago, I tried to forcibly overcome the tribulation, but in the end I failed and almost died on Shennong Mountain. If I succeeded in breaking through the Holy Realm, how would these clowns dare to sneak into the Langhuan Continent?
”…
After listening to Shennong Hu's words, Liang Yan also felt something in his heart.
Indeed, if Shen Nong Hu had attained the status of saint, how could a character like the White Bone Rat Spirit dare to enter Langhuan Continent?
Although the difference between sub-sage and saint is only one word, the difference in strength between the two cannot be measured in miles. Below the saint, all are ants. This sentence is not alarmist.
However, there was something in what Shennong Hu said before that aroused Liang Yan's interest.
"Lord Shennong, forgive me for asking. The mysterious person who sent the message asked you to hand over the Xuan Mizhu. What is this Xuan Mizhu? It can be compared with the saint's skills!"
After Shennong listened, he hesitated for a moment, and finally said slowly: "It doesn't hurt to tell my little friend. The Xuan Mizhu was left by the first generation of Shennong. It was Shen Nong who held this bead to create the world, and established the earth, fire, water, and wind.
It has created a paradise on the back of the divine turtle. Everything here, whether it is the mountains, rivers, lakes, or the blazing sun and stars, all evolved from the Xuan Mizhu."
"There is such a mysterious treasure?" Liang Yan's face showed surprise.
"The Xuan Mizhu is the ancestor's natal magic weapon. Back then, he used the essence of hundreds of herbs, soil, rootless water and other rare things to smelt it for eighteen hundred years in the whirlpool of the Sea of Bitterness in the West with the help of the Nine Yin Mysterious Fire.
Only then was this treasure born. This treasure has many magical uses. It can not only evolve the world, but also maintain the boundary of Juntian City. The reason why our Shennong Mountain can ripen various rare medicinal materials is also the reason why the Xuan Mizhu
It has had a huge effect.”
When Shennong Hu said this, he paused for a moment and then continued: "Back then, when I took the risk to attack the holy realm, I was almost shattered into pieces in the last difficulty. If it weren't for the Xuan Mizhu, I would have been a withered skeleton. So Xuan Ming
The pearl is the foundation of our Shennong Mountain. If the owner of the mountain is gone, it can be replaced. If the Xuan Mizhu is lost, the Langhuan Continent will really be over."
"I see."
Liang Yan was really shocked after hearing what Shennong Hu said.
Shennong is indeed admirable. At that time, Shennong Tuo had become a saint and enjoyed infinite life. In order to save the people of the world, he tasted all kinds of herbs and experimented with his own meridians. Later, in order to protect the sentient beings in Langhuan Continent, he was even willing to give up his own
life!
As for the descendants of Shennongtuo, they have been trapped here just for the sake of their ancestors' fate. It has not been easy for them after so many years.
Thinking of this, Liang Yan was a little curious again and asked: "The Langhuan tribe seems not to know the truth. Why doesn't the city lord tell them this history and let them know that their ancestors once fought side by side with Shennong Tuo? This can also eliminate the misunderstanding."
.”
"You underestimate people's hearts."
Shennong Tuo shook his head and said: "Everyone has their own ideas. Langhuan Continent is like a cage. Although it protects the monks here, it also restricts the monks here. Not everyone will choose to stay here after knowing the truth.
.There is a saying that "one general's success can make thousands of bones wither". This sentence is also suitable for cultivators. If there is a choice in front of you now, as long as you betray your own people, you can exchange cultivation resources and secrets of skills from the enemy.
, how many people do you think can stand the test?"
After hearing this, Liang Yan's face changed again and again, and finally he nodded and said: "What the city lord said is true. If everyone doesn't know the truth, they will naturally be content with the status quo, but if someone knows that his realm can be improved further, even if
There will be people who betray the people closest to them without hesitation.”…
"My little friend is right, the reason why Langhuan Continent is peaceful is because everyone's cultivation level is not high, and the resources are uniformly distributed by our Shennong Mountain, so there will be no disputes over killing people and grabbing treasures. But the essence of cultivation is cruel
, once someone understands that the world he lives in is just a small world, he may do everything possible to destroy this world, just to compete for that illusory opportunity. For example, the members of the Yeming Sect are the most direct example.
"
After hearing what Shennong Hu said, Liang Yan nodded slightly and said, "What the city lord said makes sense."
Although he responded superficially, his expression was noncommittal.
In fact, Liang Yan neither agreed nor opposed what Shennong Hu said. The peace and tranquility of Langhuan Continent was indeed a paradise, but it was also a cage, which restricted the realm of the monks in the cage.
There is a saying Shennong Hu is right about. The essence of cultivation is cruel. If you want to climb up, you have to fight! Who among those who have advanced cultivation has not gathered thousands of fortunes into one body? Sharing resources can only make everyone's life better.
The cultivation level is not low, but there is no top monk.
It is inevitable for people to have selfish motives. In Langhuan Continent, among monks from hundreds of tribes, there are always those who want to further their cultivation and gain more longevity. Although Shen Nong Hu’s approach preserves peace, it also limits those who want to make further breakthroughs.
It is difficult for Liang Yan to judge whether the monks are right or wrong. In other words, it has nothing to do with right or wrong, just different positions.
Thinking of this, Liang Yan took a deep breath.
It has been a while since he arrived in Langhuan Continent, and he had a lot of doubts during this period, but now, almost all of these doubts have been answered.
The so-called mother of the earth should be the divine turtle "Jun Tian" under his feet. Shennong Mountain prohibits escaping to the ground because he is afraid that people will disturb this spiritual beast. As for the reason for not encouraging high-altitude escape, I am afraid that he does not want people to discover the Xuan Mizhu.
The boundary left behind.
"Thank you City Lord for clarifying the confusion."
Liang Yan slightly cupped his hands, and then continued: "When I was hunting in Longding Mountain, although I destroyed the Ye Ming Sect's conspiracy, many monks died tragically because of it. Liang was unable to do anything, and only saved a little bit of Tang Zhen's soul.
, let’s hand him over to the city lord now.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and cast a spell to take the soul-nurturing altar out of the storage ring. Then he tore the seal open, and a wisp of Tang Zhen's remnant soul flew out.
This remnant soul was so weak that it could not even be condensed into shape. There was only a shadow of Mo Hu. He first thanked Liang Yan and then knelt down in front of Shennong Hu.
"Alas, I didn't expect you to be destined for such a catastrophe. It's because of your incompetence as a teacher that this has affected you."
Shennong Hu sighed softly, waved his right sleeve and said, "Come back."
Tang Zhen's remnant soul kowtowed and worshiped again, then turned into a spiritual light and penetrated directly into the sleeves of Shennong Hu.
"Thank you for your hard work, little friend. You saved the lives of Qing Qing and Tang Zhen, and also destroyed the Ye Ming Sect's conspiracy. You are a great favor to me, Shennong Mountain. You can ask for anything you want."
After hearing this, Liang Yan smiled slightly and said: "To be honest, Liang did ask for something from Shennong Mountain. The city lord should have noticed that I was injured, which caused me to fall down. Now I need a lot of five-color soil to heal the injuries in my body."
,restore to the original cultivation level.”…
"Five-colored soil? Easy to handle!"
Shennong Hu answered very readily: "Both the five-color soil and the five-color wind come from the divine turtle Juntian. Over the years, we have accumulated a large amount of five-color soil in Shennong Mountain, and I believe it can meet the needs of the children."
After hearing this, Liang Yan knew that there was hope for him to recover his cultivation. He felt happy and said, "Thank you City Lord for the gift of land!"
"My friend, there is no need to say thank you. You have been kind to us at Shennong Mountain, and we at Shennong Mountain will naturally reciprocate your kindness."
Shennong Hu smiled and continued: "I had a great time making tea today and chatting with my little friend! Later I will order someone to designate a blessed land as a place for my little friend to practice. As for the five-color soil promised to you, these two
I will also send people to deliver them one after another tomorrow."
"Then just wait for the good news."
Liang Yan knew that the Shennong Hu was going to see off the guests, so he did not hesitate to say goodbye, got up and left the medicine field, flying out of the waterfall.
As soon as they left the waterfall, someone came to meet them. It was Qiu Xiangrong and Zi Lan who they had met before.
The two men were smiling, and it seemed that Shennong Hu had already sent instructions to them.
"Brother Liang, you are a distinguished guest of our Shennong Mountain. The mountain owner has ordered that you can enter and exit the entire Shennong Mountain at will except for the forbidden area in the back mountain. In addition, the mountain owner has also selected a blessed land for you as a training cave. Now you have to go
Want to take a look?" Qiu Xiangrong said kindly.
Liang Yan naturally had no objection to this, and also smiled and said: "Then I'll trouble you, Taoist Qiu, to lead the way."
"You're welcome, Brother Liang, please."
Qiu Xiangrong smiled slightly, and took Liang Yan to fly into the sky with the flying light, climbing over mountains and ridges, passing through several towering peaks, and finally came to a secluded valley.
Liang Yan raised his eyes and saw that he was surrounded by mountains, the spring breeze was gentle, the streams in the valley were gurgling, the pines were rippling, and there was a rich aura floating out from the depths of the valley, and auspicious clouds appeared in the valley.
“What a place full of spiritual energy!”
Liang Yan praised him heartily.
After hearing this, Qiu Xiangrong smiled slightly and said: "This is one of the three blessed places in our Shennong Mountain! It is never open to the public. Even the talented disciples selected from the hundreds of Langhuan tribes have never been here. Now the mountain master has
This blessed land is allocated to Brother Liang to treat you as a distinguished guest."
"Then thank you Mountain Master for your kindness." Liang Yan chuckled.
"Fellow Daoist Liang, it will be fifty years before the next Divine Turtle Breathing, so you can rest assured to practice here. Although Wushuang City is a holy land for cultivation, we at Shennong Mountain will not treat you badly. What resources do you want?
Feel free to speak."
After Liang Yan heard this, his thoughts changed, and a look that seemed to be a smile but not a smile appeared on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Qiu, your mountain master asked you to convey these words, right?"
"Huh?" Qiu Xiangrong was slightly startled at first, and then laughed again: "Young Taoist Liang is really sharp, and I can't hide anything from you. Yes, the mountain master is very optimistic about you, and asked me to try my best to meet all your requirements."
Having said this, Liang Yan naturally understood what the other party was thinking. Shennong Hu was deliberately recruiting him and wanted to keep him in Juntian City.
Regarding Shennong Hu's overtures, he certainly couldn't refuse now, but he couldn't clearly agree to stay, so he smiled slightly and said: "Thank you, the mountain master, for your attention. Since Liang is practicing here, he will naturally contribute to Shennong Mountain. When I practice,
After recovery, if there is any use for Liang, feel free to ask."
"Haha, Brother Liang is really interested!"
Qiu Xiangrong was very happy after hearing this. He clasped his fists at him and said, "Then we won't disturb Brother Liang's practice here. Say goodbye!"
"Fellow Taoist, walk slowly."
Liang Yan slightly cupped his hands and watched Qiu Xiangrong and Zi Lan turn and leave.
