Strange mountains and rivers

Chen Huaisheng was too lazy to bother with these three guys and went to file a lawsuit. He threw Lei Xi into his cauldron and gave him a place to stay. Even if he fulfilled his promise, as for whether he could live in harmony with the tiger and ape spirits, That's not his concern.

Discord is best.

He just hoped that there would be such a troublemaker inside, but Zhu Wuneng might not be that stupid after observing.

"No wait?" Ou Wan'er was also a little nervous. Gui Yuan Mangxu's strength was beyond what they could handle. It was only right to run away while Gui Yuan Mangxu was attracted by the people from Gushan Castle and Yunfeng Gate.

"What are you waiting for? People from Yunfeng Gate and Gushan Fort may not be able to escape, and we will die in vain." Chen Huaisheng shook his head, "What's more, this environment is suitable for the activities of ferocious beasts like Guiyuan Mangxu. We had no chance."

The two of them ran straight out of Yue'an Mountain without stopping.

It's none of his business to fight life and death in the Seven Star Pit over there. As for the Nuchi, that can only be discussed in the future. If this ghostly monster really wants to occupy the vicinity of the Nuchi, he can only consider how to deal with it later. .

It's a pity that monsters and beasts rarely fight each other, otherwise the ice cat could be attracted to fight with the ghost abyss.

It's a pity that I originally wanted to get some Silver Beard Shrimp, but now I can only give up temporarily.

Fortunately, the Seven-Souled Silver-whiskered Shrimp is there. You can wait until you come back from Da Zhao to take a look. As long as Guiyuan Mangxiao leaves, you still have a chance to catch one.

After escaping from Yue'an Mountain in one breath, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Chen Huaisheng felt more and more that his strength was not enough, and he was restrained wherever he went. If his spiritual realm strength entered the Zi Mansion, even if he was in the Purple Mansion Essence Realm, he would be able to fight Guiyuan Mangxiao. If you kill this evil beast, you can monopolize the Anchi, but now you can only see the beautiful land like Anchi, but you can only drool with greed.

All said and done, we still have to intensify our hard work and strive to enter the Dengzi Mansion as soon as possible. However, this cannot be achieved in a short time. If we want to do this, we will not have enough spiritual treasures and spiritual plants. It has to be extended indefinitely.

However, Chen Huaisheng believes that things will get better and better as time goes by. With the unique cauldron in his body, and the demon spirit in his body that has become the three spirits, he has many more paths to practice than others. , also much wider.

After crossing the river and landing at Tianwangdu, Chen Huaisheng had mixed feelings in his heart when he looked at the vast land of Jijun.

It had only been less than two years since I returned to Hebei after the battle in Hualin Garden, but it still felt like a lifetime ago.

The impact of the monster craze of the year before was too great. In comparison, last year's monster wave was still frightening in the past, but it was nothing compared to the year before.

On the contrary, Da Zhao suffered the most brutal wave of monster attacks in the past one or two hundred years. Even after several months, it seems that the pain of the wounds caused by the rampage of monsters can be felt in this land.

"Aren't you going to Chongyang Mountain?" Perhaps because she has completely accepted and adapted to this spirit body, Ou Wan'er seems to have brought herself into the Chonghua Sect, and is quite surprised that Chen Huaisheng intends to pass through it. , "Didn't you say that you suffered great losses when you went to Winter Chongyang Mountain? There is no reason for you to pass through the door and not come in, right? If someone in the sect finds out, I'm afraid someone will stab you in the back. Sir, you are still the disciple of the headmaster. Woolen cloth."

Chen Huaisheng also had a headache. Why did this person seem to be more eager than himself now? What could he gain from going to Chongyang Mountain? Is it to greet or comfort?

But Ou Wan'er was right. It seemed unjustifiable not to go. First of all, it left a bad impression on Ou Wan'er. Chen Huaisheng didn't want to be regarded as an ungrateful person.

But he really didn't want to go to Chongyang Mountain.

Going there won't help anything, it will just mess up people's minds.

No one knows what the situation will be like this winter. Whether the tide of demon beasts will flourish again in Hebei, or if the demon beasts will continue to wreak havoc in Da Zhao, or if both Hebei and Da Zhao will suffer catastrophe this year, no one can tell.

"Then let's go for a walk, but I probably won't stay in the mountains for long, just one night, and then I'm going to Bianjing, to the south of Yi County." Chen Huaisheng saw Ou Wan'er's face full of expectation, and felt really He couldn't bear to criticize the other party: "Chongyang Mountain is not as good as you think. In my opinion, except for the large number of people, it is not as good as Dahuai Mountain. You imagine that there are ten times as many disciples as our Dahuai Mountain, but this Lingtian Baoze is not as good as Dahuai Mountain." Shan, you should understand how hard it is for ordinary disciples here."

"Going east from here is Fanju Mountain, the back garden of Tianyun Sect, and the main spiritual land of Qingmumen. The conditions are better than those of Chongyang Mountain, and the soil is particularly fertile. Almost all kinds of spiritual plants can be found in the mountain. Spiritual land planting is also the most important spiritual plant planting base of Tianyun Sect,..."

Chen Huaisheng glanced at the road going east. From here, you can reach Fanju Mountain more than four hundred miles east.

For a super large sect like Tianyun Sect, with as many as two thousand disciples, the daily consumption of spiritual plants is huge. Without a stable spiritual plant base, it is unimaginable.

There are hundreds of people responsible for planting Tao seeds in Fanju Mountain, and there are thousands of mortals. There are nearly a hundred monks responsible. Although there is no permanent resident of the Zifu, the Zifu who is on duty every year takes turns to go to Fanju Mountain. No one dares to go to Fanju Mountain to stroke the beard of a tiger.

Compare this to the Chonghua Sect, which has thousands of disciples, but does not even have a decent spiritual planting base. They basically rely on Chongyang Mountain or Wolong Ridge for planting in the corners of the fields. In comparison, You can understand that what a super sect is all about is a super sect. Not to mention other things, in this aspect alone it can crush the Chonghua Sect.

His biggest dream more than ten years ago was to go to Fanju Mountain to learn how to grow high-level spiritual plants. Unfortunately, Qingmumen refused to even give him such an opportunity. They only wanted to use him as a low-level spiritual farmer, growing spiritual millet, Jiahe and other crops for the rest of his life. Yumai.

But even if you are a Taoist, you still have some illusions. Growing corn and wheat for a lifetime is too low-looking.

"The Tianyun Sect is the most powerful, so wouldn't the mountain gate of the Winter Yun Sect be attacked even more intensely?" Ou Wan'er suddenly remembered such a question and asked.

Chen Huaisheng was startled for a moment and then nodded, "Theoretically, this is the case. Monsters always choose places with the strongest spiritual aura as targets for attacks, but they must also have some spiritual intelligence in their hands. If they sense that the target is too threatening, They will also retreat and choose another place. How powerful the Tianyun Sect's Purple Mansion is, the monsters should also feel it. They will not die mindlessly. Instead of going to the mountains to die, it is better to wander around the periphery looking for opportunities to hunt. Or attack the weaker sects around them. If people from the Tianyun Sect come to rescue them, wouldn’t this just be like encirclement and reinforcements?”

"Do monsters have such high intelligence?" Ou Wan'er seemed not to believe it.

"Haha, you will know after you give it a try this winter." Chen Huaisheng didn't bother to explain. In his opinion, almost all third-level monsters have a certain level of intelligence, and coupled with their innate keen perception ability, that's why they cause harm to human monks. Such a big threat.

When arriving at Chongyang Mountain, Chen Huaisheng also calmed down.

To be honest, it is indeed worth a visit.

After Zhu Fengbi died, Li Yu was still temporarily stationed in Wolong Ridge. It is estimated that he will not officially evacuate Wolong Ridge until this winter and officially give up his territory in Hebei. During this period, only Shang Jiuling, Ding Zongshou, and Linghu Zui were left in the entire Chongyang Mountain. and the fourth elder Qi Hongkui.

Before Du Guo rebuilt the Zi Mansion, he was still unable to fulfill his responsibilities as an elder. The Seven Elders of Chonghua have now become the Five Elders of Chonghua.

What's more, during the battle last winter, Chongyang Mountain also suffered an unprecedented attack.

Li Yu's letter to Chen Huaisheng was unclear. Chen Huaisheng only knew that nearly 200 monks alone were killed on Chongyang Mountain last winter, and more than 300 Taoists were killed.

Chongyang Mountain originally had 1,120 disciples alone, and the number of Taoist disciples exceeded 2,000. The result was that there were only about 800 disciples left, and there were many serious injuries. There are only about 600 people.

Although the Chonghua Sect now seems to have a large number of disciples, after the disaster last winter, the sect's morale has still suffered a huge blow and bruise.

As the leader, Shang Jiuling is now under a lot of pressure, especially since the Chonghua Sect has gone through many twists and turns in the past ten years, and its centripetal force and cohesion have fallen to a very dangerous level.

In both public and private matters, in terms of emotion and reason, Chen Huaisheng felt that he should go see Shang Jiuling to cheer him up.

In the midsummer, Chongyang Mountain is very popular from outside the mountain. Even though it suffered from the attack and disaster last winter, it is still very lively at the mountain gate.

As you can imagine, there are nearly a thousand disciples, similar Taoist species, and more than a thousand mortals. This adds up to almost 3,000 people gathered inside and outside Chongyang Mountain. There are also some from all over the periphery who want to do business with the Chonghua Sect. There are all kinds of merchants and farmers in and around Chongyang Mountain. The population in this area definitely exceeds 5,000 people.

For a city, a population of five thousand is nothing, but for a spiritual mountain living in the mountains, it is quite considerable.

Seeing all this, Chen Huaisheng was relieved and couldn't help but sigh.

Just these two thousand disciples and Taoist disciples consume an astronomical amount of millet, Jiahe and jade wheat every year. The spiritual land around Chongyang Mountain can never support such a huge consumption, which forces Chongyang to Huapai can only purchase Lingsu and Lingmi from outside, and the quantity is quite large.

Based on the current financial situation of the Chonghua Sect, Chen Huaisheng feels that it may become increasingly difficult.

Jijun is not a newly created land. Qingguang Dao, Xinghuo Sect, and Qingmumen, a vassal of Tianyun Sect, are not fuel-efficient. If they want to rely on carving out a world, seizing spiritual fields or business interests to replace Zhongzong. It is almost impossible for the Hua sect to increase its income and maintain its current large number of disciples.
