Strange mountains and rivers

How many days have it been? But it had only been seven days since he had entered trance. Chen Huaisheng glared at the other party speechlessly.

If this woman was willing to make progress, she might be at the ninth level or even the peak level of Qi Refining by now.

It's a pity that the situation is easy to change, but the temperament is hard to change. After the death of her brother, who was once the double jade of the Chonghua Sect, she seemed to have lost her motivation and was no longer willing to work hard in practice.

It can’t be said that I don’t work hard, I just don’t want to devote myself wholeheartedly to practice like other people.

But then I thought about it, if she was still like before, maybe she wouldn't be together with him. But now that she is in this state, although I feel regretful in my heart, I am also a little happy.

Well, yes, it is this laziness and carelessness that makes her more unique in his heart, just like Chi Mei always has a childhood sweetheart Bai Yueguang complex in his heart.

"Where are Chi Mei and Qing Yu?" Chen Huaisheng asked casually without seeing Xuan Chi Mei and Min Qingyu.

"Chi Mei is in seclusion." Fang Baoqi responded: "Qingyu has gone home."

Retreat? Chen Huaisheng estimated that Fang Baoqi's promotion stimulated Xuan Chimei, so he must find a way to catch up.

Min Qingyu went home?

Chen Huaisheng immediately realized that the situation might have deteriorated very quickly in the past few days, faster than imagined, otherwise Min Qingyu would not have gone home, and Zhao Sitian would have been waiting here.

Min Qingyu must have considered the safety of the Min family when he returned home. Chen Huaisheng mentioned it to Min Qingyu before retreating, but it was difficult to arrange it, and Min Qingyu had not made up his mind.

It's no problem for people like Min's father and Min's mother to come to Yunzhongshan, but Chen Huaisheng, the Min clan, can't take care of it. There are too many people involved, so it's impossible for them all to abandon everything and leave home, right?

Moreover, we can only take one step at a time to see where we will get to this winter. Even if Chen Huaisheng is convinced, others must see it first.

Seeing that Zhao Sitian's face was quite calm, Chen Huaisheng didn't say much, "Let's go."

After leaving the cave, Chen Huaisheng found that the magic circle had been activated.

His heart twitched and his flesh ached.

Once the magic circle is activated, it will start the money-burning mode, well, it is also the "burning spiritual stone" mode.

Whether the array is maintaining early warning, defense or attack status, it must be supported by spiritual stones. Unless some special locations can be used to naturally generate spiritual energy, this can reduce the consumption of spiritual stones to a certain extent.

This is why mountain gates choose this kind of spiritual mountain treasures. In addition to the fact that these spiritual mountain treasures are of great benefit to monks' practice, another reason is for safety reasons.

Every mountain gate needs a magic circle to protect its safety. Choosing this place is to use the local spiritual energy to reduce the spiritual energy consumption of setting up a magic circle to a certain extent. Otherwise, it is purely a white land to establish a magic circle, just the spiritual stones activated by the magic circle. The consumption is an astronomical figure.

Even if a general altar is set up in cities such as Bianjing, Luoyi, Chang'an, Jiangling, and Yuhang, the place where the spiritual energy is most abundant must be chosen, in order to reduce the consumption of spiritual stones in the magic circle.

Chen Huaisheng and Gou Yiwei mentioned before that the outer warning formations of the Eight Formations of Yunzhongshan can be activated first, but the most important internal defense and attack formations must be chosen at the right time. In a word, if you can save money, the landlord's family will also be able to do so. If you don’t have any leftover food, don’t activate everything at every turn. No one’s spiritual stones are blown by strong winds.

But looking at it now, the entire mountain array should have been activated.

"Are they all activated?" Chen Huaisheng endured it for a while, but still couldn't hold it back.

"It has just been activated. I dare not not activate it. There is some chaos outside." Fang Baoqi continued, "Our internal strength in Yun Zhongshan is still a bit weak. Once it is broken through, the damage will be great."

Zhao Sitian also followed up: "Huaisheng, although you have only been in seclusion for a few days, the situation has changed too much in the past few days. We only woke you up after thinking it over. We really don't dare to delay."

Chen Huaisheng's heart sank. It seemed that the situation was very serious, otherwise Fang Baoqi and Zhao Sitian would not think so.

When they arrived at Bailu Taoist Temple, in addition to Zhao Sitian, Wu Tianen and Gou Yiwei also arrived one after another.

Originally, Chen Huaisheng planned to call Chu Yingqi and Yang Husheng. The three of them were second only to himself in strength and would also serve as the main force in the future defense battle against the monster tide. However, Teng Dingyuan had already I went into retreat before I entered the meditation retreat.

Teng Dingyuan is the most promising to break through and build a foundation. If Chen Huaisheng does not skimp on the blood of red crucian carp and seven-string silver-bearded shrimp, he should have the opportunity to make an impact within a month.

With one more foundation building, Yun Zhongshan's defense will be completely different, especially when facing second-level monsters, the role that foundation building can play is far better than that of high-level Qi refining.

"Where are Chu Yingqi and Yang Husheng?" Chen Huaisheng was a little surprised not seeing these two people.

"Chu Yingqi also went into seclusion. Three days ago, he felt something and took the initiative to ask for seclusion..." Fang Baoqi sighed helplessly and glanced at Zhao Sitian.

Zhao Sitian could only scratch his head: "Well, Uncle Wu and I agreed. After all, this kind of feeling is the easiest to break through. We can't delay it. Sometimes once the inspiration disappears, it's not easy to get it back..."

"Where's Yang Husheng?"

"Yang Husheng went to Youzhou." Gou Yiwei followed up and explained: "The cassock armor requires several special minerals, which need to be bought and processed urgently. Others are not worried about it. As long as he makes a trip, it will probably be enough." It’s time to come back in the next two days.”

No wonder Zhao Sitian felt uneasy. The three of them either went into seclusion or left. However, the situation changed so quickly that everyone felt uneasy.

"What's the situation now?" Chen Huaisheng was prepared for the worst.

"It's changing too fast, and we're a little overwhelmed. We're not sure, but it's still okay in Wolong Ridge, but we're worried that something might happen tomorrow when we wake up."

It was Zhao Sitian who said it. Although Wu Tianen and Gou Yiwei were both stronger than Zhao Sitian in terms of spiritual realm, Zhao Sitian was younger and more adaptable.

"What are the specific situations?"

"..., after the two ice-scaled blood pythons appeared in Baita Pu, the day you entered into meditation, which was the night seven days ago, Bajiao Village was attacked by demons again, and the Du family suffered heavy losses. A foundation-building cultivator from Youzhou and three high-level Qi-refining cultivators died, and it was said that the foundation-building cultivator of the Ning family in Youzhou disappeared after being possessed by a demon, and it was very likely that he was alienated,..."

Chen Huaisheng knew about the last battle with Fengyi Sect at Huluji and the demons at the junction of Baita Pu and Zhaigu Road, but he didn't expect it to happen again.

Chen Huaisheng still remembers that battle vividly, but after that battle, the group of demons and ghosts seemed to have burrowed into the ground and fell into a deep sleep again. There was no news from the Fengyi Sect. The same was true for the news obtained from the Fengyi Sect. There has been no similar situation in the past few years.

The Ding family and the Sun family also have very deep connections and intelligence networks in Baitapu. If a similar situation occurs, they will definitely not be able to hide it from them.

In that battle, even Qin Shouzhong, who was at the fourth level of foundation building in the Fengyi Sect, disappeared. Although it was said to be missing, everyone was guessing in their hearts that he was either dead or dead, which was the best outcome. Don't be alienated by those demons and ghosts.

The so-called alienation means that the mind is eroded, and the body is also immersed in evil spirits, transformed into the body of demons and ghosts, and becomes one of them.

Although it seems that the entire southeast of Fuyang Road has become peaceful after that battle, Chen Huaisheng has never let it go in his heart, but he also knows that with his own strength, he can't deal with those demons and ghosts at all. What worries him more is that those demons and ghosts have some wisdom, which is the most frightening.

Apart from anything else, the performance of the demon corpse general definitely exceeded the general public's understanding of demons and evil spirits.

He was sure that the guy's performance was definitely intelligent!

But Chen Huaisheng was not sure whether the demon ghost itself was intelligent, or whether it was controlled by someone and had reached the level of remote control.

Either way, it was chilling.

Chen Huaisheng would think of this battle many times when he couldn't sleep at night.

He compared this battle with the attack on Lu Zhaolin in Liao County, thinking that there might be a conspiracy in the attack on Lu Zhaolin, but he could see that there was a conspiracy, but in the battle of Huluji, his intuition told him that there was a conspiracy, but he couldn't see through it, and he didn't know which party was behind the conspiracy.

Or was the demon corpse demon ghost itself the creator of the conspiracy?

Another foundation-building cultivator disappeared, just like Qin Shouzhong, who was at the fourth level of foundation-building back then. The question is whether this time there will be a lull and a few years of peace?

Chen Huaisheng estimated that it was highly likely that it would not happen.

He even suspected that this round of demons and ghosts' movement was probably related to the demon beast tide.

"Why did the foundation-building cultivator from the Youzhou Ning family come to the Du family's Bajiaozhai at this time? As far as I remember, since our Chonghua Sect established itself in Fuyang Road, the relationship between the Bajiaozhai Du family and the Youzhou Ning family has been maintained, but the exchanges on the surface have become much less. The Youzhou Ning family also has troubles in Youzhou, and it seems that they don't have much energy to take care of the Bajiaozhai here."

Chen Huaisheng asked the key point directly.

"The Du family of Bajiaozhai and the Ning family of Youzhou are actually related by marriage. The eldest daughter of the Du family married the second eldest son of the Ning family of Youzhou, and they are said to be Taoist couples. It is said that they are now at the third level of foundation building. This time, the situation of monsters appearing in various places is getting more and more serious. The Du family is a little worried, so they took the initiative to ask for help from the Ning family,..."

Gou Yiwei explained: "The Du family has always been unwilling to join our Chonghua Sect. After the Ding family merged into our Chonghua Sect, they felt a lot of pressure. Although they have been much more low-key, they still feel that the Ning family is their support, so they still communicate with them secretly. This time, they saw that the changes in the surrounding situation were too serious, so they asked for help. The one who came was a sixth-level foundation building cultivator of the Ning family. He is quite powerful. It is said that his magic combat power has reached the seventh level of foundation building..."

Gou Yiwei's information channel is definitely credible, but this makes Chen Huaisheng even more upset.
