One hundred and ninety-three, benefiting oneself at the expense of others
The southwest border of Liangzhou is filled with undulating mountains.
The nine scattered peaks towering like forests are particularly prominent.
The steep cliff is as sharp as a knife and an axe, with a color like Wotan and a bright cloud.
This is where the descendants of the Jiuli Wu tribe have lived for generations - Jiuli Mountain.
The disaster of genocide eight hundred years ago resulted in the flat top of the main peak in the center, which is still barren and barren.
The bare red cliffs of Red Cliff are filled with light white mist, and you can vaguely see the gates and stone steps built by the ancient Jiuli people on the cliffs, as well as the traces of wooden ladders and burned-down houses.
Lin Yige was carried by Geng Xin, chasing the Poison Spirit Bee swarm all the way, and he and Yu Mingyue landed on the river beach at the foot of Jiuli Mountain.
Yu Mingyue waved her hand to put away the swarm of Poison Spirit Bees, raised her hand to take off a silver collar, turned around and handed it to Lin Yige, and said: "Uncle Lin, please hold the silver collar tightly and follow me."
Lin Yige put away the Gengxin sword, hung it on his waist, and looked at the silver necklace handed to him.
The fourth senior brother Yu Wei took a drop of blood from Jiuli's previous generation of witches and set up a mountain-protecting formation here. Only the Jiuli clan can freely enter and exit Jiuli Mountain.
Even the casual cultivators of the Dark Alliance who helped set up the formation flag and bury the formation disk were not allowed to come in and out at will.
If there is no one to guide you, if you want to enter Jiuli Mountain, you can only destroy the mountain guarding formation.
Once the mountain-protecting formation is destroyed, the Dark Alliance stronghold stationed in the southwest of Liangzhou will receive the message and can reach the main peak of Jiuli Mountain through the teleportation array that has been set up.
Lin Yige had no intention of destroying the mountain-protecting formation, so he reached out and held the other side of the silver collar, then nodded to Mingyue.
Yu Mingyue opened the way in front, holding Lin Yige with a silver collar, one after another, and entered the fog.
After holding my breath and walking for about a quarter of an hour, the fog in front of my eyes dissipated, and I saw a group of Jiuli survivors, mainly women.
Their outfits are similar to those of Yu Mingyue, but the patterns are simpler.
Many girls were filled with excitement, hugging Yu Mingyue excitedly and mumbling something.
Lin Yige could hear their happiness from the tone of their conversation.
Ruan Mingyue smiled and said a few words to her tribe, dismissed many Jiuli women, and then turned around and said: "Uncle Lin, my tribe has gone to prepare for the banquet, why don't I take you to see where the hanging coffin is?
”
Lin Yige had already read the jade slips given by Liu Fufeng when she arrived.
There is little contact between the Jiuli remnants and the people of Kyushu. Their customs and sentiments are different, and their languages and writings are also different, but their hospitality is generally the same.
There’s no need to offend their good intentions.
Lin Yige nodded and said, "Then take me to see Yuzhi's hanging coffin first."
Yu Mingyue took Lin Yige to the edge of the cliff, pointed to the main peak surrounded by eight peaks of different heights, and said: "Uncle Lin, please look at the cliff below the main peak. The spider threads hanging in the air are the cliffs of the witch Yuzhi."
Coffin."
Lin Yige reached out with his spiritual consciousness and saw the hanging coffin clearly across the wide river between the side peak and the main peak.
There is a deep cave under the cliff of the main peak of Jiuli Mountain.
A bunch of blue spider silk hangs from the cave, with a huge cocoon hanging at the end.
Yan Mingyue introduced from the side: "The colorful spider in the cave is the natal charm of the witch Sunzhi. In the past, my mother and I would wait until July 15th every year to worship the witch Sunzhi, which is the day when the colorful spider goes dormant. Then
Then it will not attack Jiuli Witch, whose aura is similar to that of Yuzhi Witch."
Taking into account the different customs and sentiments, Lin Yige asked out of politeness: "It's not July 15th now. This colorful spider is not dormant. What should we do if we had a conflict with it in the past?"
"With my current level of cultivation in the middle stage of Golden Core, I am not completely sure of dealing with it." Yu Mingyue said, shaking her head, but when she looked at Lin Yige, she was full of confidence, "But Master Lin can kill Yuan Ying stage.
With peak strength, there should be no problem in stealing the hanging coffin from the claws of the colorful spider."
Lin Yige thought for a while and confirmed: "It doesn't matter if I kill the colorful spider?"
It is easier to steal the hanging coffin from under the eyeball of the spotted spider than to kill it directly.
"It doesn't matter." Yu Mingyue shook her head, and the silver jewelry collided, making a clear and crisp sound, "If it weren't for the Witch Yuzhi using her body as a treasure, the colorful spider would have died with the death of the Witch Yuzhi.
Death suddenly."
"It's just..." Yu Mingyue said hesitantly, "The colorful spider is very powerful and not easy to kill. Besides, there are countless colorful spider eggs in the cave, and I don't know how many have hatched. If the colorful spiders come out of the nest, it may affect the Jiuli tribe.
."
After listening to this, Lin Yige thought thoughtfully and said, "Don't you also have a Gu King that has been passed down from generation to generation? Is your Gu King afraid of Yu Zhi's natal Gu?"
Yu Mingyue smiled bitterly and shook her head, saying: "Uncle Lin didn't know that Jiuli's clan was exterminated eight hundred years ago, and the Gu King was missing. The Gu King that Jiuli has passed down from generation to generation was re-trained by the witch Yunzhi after the clan was exterminated.
of."
Lin Yige was still a little puzzled. Even if the Gu King was re-cultivated after the genocide was exterminated, the spotted spider would have been around the same time as Yuan Zhi's native Gu.
"Even if Yan Zhi's natal Gu is slightly older, but you are the King of Gu, at least they should be evenly matched, right?"
Yu Mingyue explained: "The Gu King has been passed down from generation to generation. When adapting to each witch, the power will always be weakened by 10% and cannot be fully inherited. Therefore, it is not as powerful as the colorful spider."
In other words, the Gu King keeps changing its master.
Lin Yige understood that he couldn't do it consistently. King Gu couldn't focus on becoming stronger, and naturally he couldn't exert his due strength.
"I'll go explore the cave later."
In her opinion, the natal Gu-spotted spider left behind by the already dead Yuzhi, as well as countless beaded eggs, might become a disaster.
If you can't even suppress the Gu King, it's better to kill him.
Yu Mingyue looked slightly relaxed, and said with cupped hands: "Please also ask Uncle Lin to inform me of the number of colorful spiders and bead eggs in the cave."
"What?" Lin Yige couldn't help but glance at her, "Do you want to take other colorful spiders for your own use?"
"The eggs can be handed over to the clansmen and they can be hatched by themselves, but the spotted spiders that have hatched..." She touched her braids and said with some embarrassment, "Compared to spiritual fruits, bugs still prefer eating bugs.
”
Hearing her mention her clan members, Lin Yige suddenly thought of something and asked Su Rong: "Master Nephew, now that you have entered Taoism, and in the future you will succeed in cultivating immortals and ascend to leave the world of mountains and seas, then won't the witches of the Jiuli clan have to be extinct?"<
/p>
In order to unite the sect, and let the Jiuli clan cut off the inheritance of the Wu clan, isn't that benefiting oneself at the expense of others?
Yu Mingyue was stunned for a moment, then bowed and said, "I would also like to thank Uncle Lin for insisting on letting his disciple join the Guiyi Sect!"
Lin Yige was a little surprised and asked: "Why do you say this?"
Yu Mingyue looked at the main peak of Mount Jiuli with burning eyes, and said: "The ancient text of Jiuli only teaches witches who have awakened their bloodline to practice the art of defeating, to pass down scriptures and record history, and to practice witchcraft. However, practicing witchcraft can stimulate witchcraft."
