In the center of the third-floor platform of Zhongfu Pavilion in Huanxiang Garden, there is a hexagonal pavilion with five railings and three steps to the door. There is a plaque on the door with the words "Xue Lu Pavilion" written on it.
This pavilion is also famous now. The words on the plaque were written by Yang Tehong, and the name was also given by Old Yang. It was obviously taken from the allusion of that snowy day. Hua Zhenxing turned into a crane and flew there, and everyone set up a red clay stove here.
Stewed Demon King Meat.
There is a couplet hanging on the left and right pavilion pillars in front of the door——
White snow and white cranes, silver flying all over the sky;
Red charcoal and red stove, Danzhao Dou room stewed with five lakes.
Hua Zhenxing and others were standing in front of the Snow Stove Pavilion. Mr. Feng told them to pay attention: "I will borrow the door of this pavilion later. When you walk into the Snow Stove Pavilion, you will enter the Meng'en Garden."
.
This kind of thing is a bit taboo, not because it is a taboo in Gambiste, but you can't do it randomly, otherwise God will not be happy with it. So I can only send three people there at most, and they all have to be related to Meng En Garden and have the ability to travel through it.
The original reason.”
Dan Zicheng asked: "Then how do we know who has such a predestined relationship?"
Mr. Feng: "It's very simple. Those who are not destined will not be able to enter. As long as you can get in later, it will prove that you are destined. The key is that after entering, no one can predict what will happen there.
If the great magician James Rouse were to be singled out for a duel, none of the three of you would be able to beat him, but he can use the power of the Cave Heaven Formation.
If he takes control of the Cave Heaven Formation in time, he will be equivalent to the master of heaven and earth there. As the saying goes, strong dragons cannot suppress local snakes, and you will probably suffer a loss.
If that's the case... Zicheng, take this stone and crush it into pieces if you can't do anything. Then you can open another portal at the same place. You can come back here after you come out of the portal."
Cheng Tianle asked from the side: "What if someone chases me out?"
Mr. Feng smiled: "It's okay if I can't deal with him in Meng'en Garden. If he comes here, why don't he come to your door and get slapped... What are you doing?"
Although there were only three people entering Meng En Garden, there were many cheerleaders from the sidelines today, such as Demon Sect Cheng Tianle, Earth Master You Fang, etc. Cheng Tianle pulled out a thick and long stick,
He smiled and replied: "Get ready to fight!"
Bai Shaoliu waved his hand and said, "That's no need! It's impossible for the great magician of Rous to control the cave all the time. As long as we don't get discovered after entering, we will have won half the battle."
Mr. Feng: "Then stop talking nonsense and let the raider go and raid your home!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and made a circle towards the pavilion. A void portal seemed to appear between the two pavilion pillars. The other side of the portal was pitch black and nothing could be seen clearly.
Bai Shaoliu walked at the front, and the three of them filed in. Then the door disappeared, and the scene in front of them was still in the Snow Furnace Pavilion.
Zeren asked: "Mr. Feng, will they be okay?"
The head of the Zhengyi Sect is actually here today. He heard the news through some unknown channel and came to act as a member of the cheerleading team. He even wore a Taoist robe, a bun with four sword-shaped hairpins.
Mr. Feng: "With Xiaobai here, what can happen to them? I'm afraid they won't be able to come back for a while. It's still a long way from the Viking Kingdom to Wucheng!"
Zeren wondered: "Didn't you give them a stone to return to the city?"
Mr. Feng almost stopped and glared at Zeren and said: "Shenma Huichengshi, have you played too many games? I didn't expect that you, a Taoist priest with thick eyebrows and big eyes, also like to play games!
If everything goes well on their trip and they control the cave formation in Meng'en Garden, that stone will be useless. I said it should be used when the matter cannot be done. Now that the matter is done, it will not be used. Otherwise, do you think it will be used?
Is there no price?"
…
Hua Zhenxing and the other three people walked through the portal, and the surrounding area was filled with cold air. The reason why it was pitch black was because they were in a cave. When they opened their spiritual consciousness, they found that there were ice curtains and icicles hanging on the walls of the cave, and there were also ice pillars in the middle.
There is an ice bed.
Hua Zhenxing said with spiritual thought: "I know where this place is."
Dan Zicheng: "Where? You've never been here!"
Hua Zhenxing: "This is the cave of the Snow Wolf Demon King. I killed that Snow Wolf with my own hands and am familiar with its aura."
Bai Shaoliu: "This place is very hidden. No one will notice us. Please control your breath and go out to check the situation."
The few people did not take out magic weapons such as light beads for illumination, and sneaked out of the cave. The Snow Wolf Demon King's cave was quite deep, like a maze, but the difficulty was not difficult for an expert like Bai Shaoliu.
The place where they came in should be the cave hall where the Snow Wolf Demon King usually retreats for training. Going out along the main passage, Bai Shaoliu also discovered several secret rooms, which contained many treasures of heaven and earth, and they should all be that snow-headed one.
The relic of the Wolf Demon King.
They did not put the things away, fearing that the movement of opening the secret treasure would attract the attention of James Routh.
Dan Zicheng was still there using his spiritual power to show off his impoverishment: "Director Hua, I have admired your reputation for a long time. In the country of Jili, you kill a great magician every year.
After you came to the East Kingdom, you were unlucky to become a Dacheng monk. You killed Fu Lingke the year before last and Lin Taiwei last year. This year was not good. You killed a snow wolf demon king in Ruishi Kingdom, even the beasts were not spared.
ah!"
As they talked, they had already walked out of the cave, facing the blue sky and white clouds. This was a snow mountain, and the entrance to the cave happened to be near the snow line.
Hua Zhenxing: "According to the time difference, it is three o'clock in the morning here, but it is broad daylight. This means that the celestial phenomena in this cave are likely to be consistent with the external environment."
The latitude of the fifteen farms purchased by Huazhenxing happens to be near the Arctic Circle, or in other words, right on the line of the Arctic Circle. Theoretically, on the summer solstice every year, the sunshine time can reach 24 hours, and on the winter solstice, the sunshine time can reach 24 hours.
There is zero sunshine on this day.
It has just arrived in mid-July, and the season is midsummer. It should indeed be daytime here at three o'clock in the morning. The reason why it was very cold in the cave just now was because the terrain was too high.
The three of them quietly descended the mountain. The climate gradually became cooler and warmer. There was a wetland lake in the valley near the foot of the mountain. Hua Zhenxing suddenly said with his spiritual thoughts: "Look, there is a group of white cranes there!"
Bai Shaoliu: "Here are the caves of Snow Wolf Demon King and Xiqu Demon King. What's so strange about a group of ordinary white cranes?"
Hua Zhenxing: "I have an idea, maybe I can lure the great magician out. I will be responsible for luring him here, the senior brother will be responsible for beating the sap, and Lord Bai will take the opportunity to seize the cave."
…
The Lord of the Cave Heaven can theoretically detect all movements in the Cave Heaven Barrier. But this is just a theory, and James Rouse is not the real Lord of the Cave Heaven. He just received the Cave Heaven inheritance and can control the Cave Heaven.
Even if Hua Zhenxing is in Yangyuan Valley, it is impossible to pay attention to any movement in the cave sky all the time.
After James Rouse closed the door, he didn't think anyone could come in. His main energy on weekdays was on how to manage the members of the cave, improve his own cultivation, and enjoy life better. However, his recent days have also been different.
It was too good.
When the Demon King Xiqu was beheaded, there were thousands of people present, so the news could not be concealed. James Rouse soon heard about it, and immediately rushed into the Men's Garden, closing the door and not leaving.
There is not only him, a great magician, in Meng'en Garden, but there are also more than a dozen magicians and dozens of apprentices, that is, trainee magicians. They were lucky enough to be allowed to enter Meng'en Garden to practice and study, and now they are also together
Sealed in the cave.
The incident happened suddenly, and many people were not mentally prepared at all. They asked James Rouse what happened and when could he open the door and go out?
James Rouse is unwilling to open the door even if he kills him. He can still save his life by hiding here. Once he gets out, Yangyuan Valley and even Gambisteine will not let him go.
When he heard that the Demon King Xiqu was beheaded, he also heard the news that Huell was imprisoned by Gambistine.
So does he plan to hide in the Garden of Grace for the rest of his life? According to James Rouse, it is not a bad idea. The Alliance of Ancient Gods exists in name only outside, but he owns the whole world here.
The most ideal result is to practice here and become a ninth-level great magician in the future. Then even if there is always someone guarding the door, he will have a chance to open the door and break out of the siege.
But the hope of realizing this ideal is too slim, so let’s just live a small life in Meng’en Garden with peace of mind.
But other people in the cave don't have this ideological awareness. They have their own careers, identities and lives outside, as well as family, relatives and friends. Who wants to be locked up here forever?
Although Meng En Garden is very large, with an area of nearly 200 square kilometers, how does it compare with the vast world outside? Moreover, you can only live a simple life here without any modern facilities. What is the difference between it and living on a desert island?
So many people jointly requested James Rouse, could he open the portal and let them out? Because in theory, opening the door to let people out would not threaten the safety of the cave.
If someone wants to take the opportunity to break in, James Routh can suppress or expel the offender immediately as long as he controls the cave. As long as he is in this world, James Routh is a nearly invincible existence.
However, James Rouse rejected their request. He was nearly invincible but not absolutely invincible. He had decided to close the door and would never make any further threats to his own safety.
He also told everyone that the history of the Alliance of Ancient Gods can be traced back to before the founding of Cambystine. It is the purest chosen people of God. The Garden of Grace was created by God to protect the world, which is what is recorded in the "Covenant".
God's rose garden.
Nowadays, the Alliance of Ancient Gods has been destroyed by blasphemers and heretics in the outside world, and the Garden of Grace provides them with the last refuge. They also have the responsibility to protect the Garden of Grace, adhere to the pure faith, and inherit the faith of God.
James Rouse said so, thought so, and did so. But there was a more important reason why he refused everyone's request.
If all these people are let out, what's the point of staying in Men'en Garden? What's the difference between that and confinement? Although there are few residents in Men'en Garden now, there are at least close to a hundred, which can be regarded as
A small village and a small society.
Only in this way can he enjoy the fun of this world and stick to it. Otherwise, what is the point of being able to dominate a world without people?
James Rouse did not want everyone to be too desperate. He only said that when the time is right, he will lead everyone back to the world. As for when the time is right, he must wait for God's instructions.
In fact, he has also imagined another possibility, which is, can these existing people in the Garden of Grace thrive here and become an independent group?
From a biological point of view, too few people and lack of genetic diversity may lead to population degradation. Therefore, you must have at least a second level of cultivation to have offspring, and you can have as many as possible to achieve a sufficient population base before the population degrades.
The current population in Meng'en Garden all have cultivation levels above the second realm. This issue does not need to be considered for the time being. The focus is on the next generation... It is too early to think about these things at the moment.
Half a year seems to be a short time, but most people in Meng'en Garden can hardly hold it any longer.
Many people have thought about uniting to resist, such as forcing James Routh to open the portal. But together they are no match for James Routh, and they cannot really kill James Routh in a sneak attack, otherwise no one will
Can't get out.
Everyone understood the situation, and even though they were unwilling, there was nothing they could do. James Rouse saw this more clearly, so he used various methods to appease everyone and made many promises with unclear dates.
Although he is not afraid of people's dissatisfaction, he does not want to have unnecessary conflicts, because any loss in Meng'en Garden is his loss, including personal losses.
This morning, James Rouse and his favorite partner had just finished the Great Harmony of Life exercise when a magician came to report. A white crane had snatched away the sacred stone in a certain laboratory. It was suspected that it had been demonized or
Given by God.
The so-called being demonized or receiving a gift from a god actually means that a monster becomes a spirit by itself. According to the theory of the Ancient God Alliance, this may be a gift from a god, or it may be a temptation by the devil. As for which situation it is, it often depends on the
Reality requires judgment.
How could a creature be demonized in a holy place like the Garden of Grace? It should be a gift from God!
