This spiritual vein should keep its mouth closed at all times, sealing off an independent space. So when it opens the space, is it controlled by the demon clan, or is it controlled by itself?
If it is controlled by oneself, does this spiritual vein already have autonomous consciousness?
That would be terrible!
Let’s take a look first.
The four people watched quietly. After the last human monk entered, the spiritual dragon head closed its mouth. Although Gu Shuo did not dare to pay attention to the demon monk sitting on the dragon head, he saw
Here, I can basically confirm in my heart that this spiritual vein is controlled by the demon clan and is not the birth of independent consciousness.
Ten days later.
The dragon head opened its mouth again, and Jian Shanhong and his party flew out from the dragon's mouth and landed on the top of the mountain. Then everyone handed over a storage bag to the demon clan. Afterwards, under the leadership of the demon clan monks, they walked down
to the Holy Mountain. And the dragon head closed again.
Gu Shuo had been observing Jian Shanhong and the others out of the corner of his eye, and when he saw them entering a village, he withdrew his gaze.
Zhou Hua also withdrew his gaze and said through spiritual consciousness: "There is no way for us to get close to the dragon head. And the dragon's mouth is not usually open. When it opens, we will have no chance. The only chance now is,
Just sneak into those human slaves, or persuade the human slaves to help."
He Ping shook his head and said: "We can't get in. Even if we let the demon clan catch us on purpose, our sudden appearance here will make them very suspicious. Even if they don't kill us, they won't let us stay with those slaves.
Because we have not gained the trust of the demon clan."
"Then can we convince a human monk?"
"Those human slaves?" He Ping said.
"Yeah!" Zhou Hua nodded.
"Too risky!" He Ping frowned and said, "You also saw the numbness and frustration on their faces. Are you sure that if you contact them, they won't hand you over to the demon clan?"
Mao Fei also suddenly spoke: "Senior Brother Zhou, do you know any of the more than a hundred human slaves?"
Zhou Hua shook his head.
In this way, both He Ping and Mao Fei showed disapproval on their faces. Zhou Hua thought for a while, these human monks have been enslaved by the demon clan for so long, they must have won the trust of the demon clan and can be trusted by the demon clan.
, these human monks must do something to make the demon clan trust them, such as killing human monks to gain the trust of the demon clan. Do such people dare to meet them and convince them?
Everyone couldn't help but shook their heads, and felt a little hesitant in their hearts. He and others finally arrived here, but they had no idea where to start. Could they really go straight to the Holy Mountain to die?
"I'll give it a try." Gu Shuo suddenly said.
Zhou Hua and the three of them were stunned: "Are you going to try? What are you trying?"
"I know one of those people, so I know him well. I will try it alone. If something happens to me, it will be up to you to complete the task. I will try my best to lure the demon clan away. If I can't get rid of it, I will
Choose to self-destruct.”
"Gu Shuo..." He Ping and Mao Fei had worries in their eyes.
Gu Shuo waved his hand: "We have no other way, right?"
The four of them were silent for a while, then Zhou Hua said, "When are you going to go?"
"Let's wait until night. There's no rush!"
midnight.
Gu Shuo quietly fell from the tree, tried his best to restrain his breath, and sneaked towards the village in the distance. The process was very smooth, and the supervision here was very relaxed. Think about it, what kind of place is this?
The Holy Mountain of the Western Demon Clan, the center of the Western Demon Clan.
Even if there are people who want to cause trouble here, they can't cause trouble, because the monks living here are all great monks of the demon race. If you dare to act abnormally here, the only result you will face is death.
I'm afraid that for a long time, this holy mountain land has been peaceful, and there has never been an incident, which has long made the demon clan relax their vigilance.
Gu Shuo easily sneaked into the village. He did not go in immediately, but carefully circled around the village to make sure that there were no monsters inside or outside the village. However, he did not feel relaxed at all, because he knew that
Sometimes the humans who surrender to the demon clan are more ruthless and perverted than the demon clan.
Such as Wei Qiang!
Gu Shuo retreated into the woods not far from the village, then jumped onto a big tree, set up an isolation array, and then sat cross-legged, waiting for dawn.
Dawn.
A door in the village opened, and a human monk came out. Gu Shuo saw Jian Shanhong and remembered his room, so he withdrew his gaze and stopped looking. The human monks walked towards the Lingmi Field outside the village.
Start taking care of those spiritual rice fields.
Gu Shuo was very patient. He sat cross-legged on the tree, motionless, and calmed down his breath. Until midnight. Gu Shuo was still hiding in the tree, and a spiritual consciousness spread straight to Jian Shanhong's room and penetrated the wall.
Jian Shanhong was lying on the bed with his eyes open, but he did not fall asleep.
Jian Shanhong was a golden elixir more than ten years ago and didn't need to sleep at all, but he didn't practice either. He stared at the ceiling with his eyes blankly. Suddenly he sat up, with a look of extreme shock on his face, because he
I heard a voice in my ear, a familiar voice:
"Senior Brother Jian, I am Gu Shuo!"
Then Jian Shanhong laughed bitterly again and murmured in a low voice: "Am I already so decadent? I'm starting to hear hallucinations."
"Senior Brother Jian?" I heard Gu Shuo's voice again.
Jian Shanhong's face froze, and then a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. After taking a few deep breaths, he slowly released his spiritual consciousness. After sensing Gu Shuo's spiritual consciousness, he followed Gu Shuo's spiritual consciousness and transferred his own spiritual consciousness.
Spread past:
"Junior Brother Gu?"
"it's me."
"You...were arrested too?"
"No, I'm here to carry out Tianmeng's mission." Gu Shuo got straight to the point.
The mission of Tianmeng...
Jian Shanhong's face changed, and finally he heard from his spiritual sense: "Is my sister okay?"
"fine!"
"Can you talk to me?"
"good!"
Gu Shuo did not hide the impact that Jian Shanhong had on Jian Yingying. He knew that his story would affect Jian Shanhong's attitude. So he objectively told Jian Yingying's story. After listening, Jian Shanhong took a deep breath and poured out the thoughts in his heart.
Be patient with the ups and downs and say sincerely:
"Gu Shuo, thank you!"
"You're welcome, I promised you back then. Now don't worry, Jian Yingying will no longer be ostracized in Tianmeng. She has a group of friends like us."
Jian Shanhong knew that the reason why Jian Yingying was no longer ostracized and had a group of friends was because of Gu Shuo.
"Gu Shuo, what mission are you here for?"
"Blow up the Holy Mountain."
"What?"
"Blow up that spiritual vein."
"How is this possible? This is mission impossible."
"But I'm here, aren't I?"
"Yes, you are here. I really don't know how you sneaked in. I advise you to leave as soon as possible without being discovered. This mission is impossible to complete. You will die."
"I haven't completed my mission, and I will die if I go back."
"What can you do if you blow up your spiritual veins?"
"The Tianmeng gave me a formation disk and told me to just throw it into the dragon's mouth with the spiritual vein."
"You want me to throw it?"
Gu Shuo was silent. He knew very well that once Jian Shanhong did this, he would definitely die. But besides Jian Shanhong, who else could he count on now?
Gu Shuo is not afraid of death, but the current situation is that even if Gu Shuo is not afraid of death, he has no chance to throw the formation disk into the mouth of the dragon with spiritual veins.
Therefore, we can only count on Jian Shanhong. In fact, this is to send Jian Shanhong to death.
This is difficult!
Because Jian Shanhong is afraid of death!
If Jian Shanhong was not afraid of death, he would not surrender to the demon clan and become a slave of the demon clan. Therefore, after hearing Jian Shanhong's words, Gu Shuo was silent. He also knew in his heart that he could not reason with Jian Shanhong about this matter and could not force him to do so.
Others do it. So, I sighed in my heart and said:
"Senior Brother Jian, you should know that no matter who does this, he will die. The reason why I didn't do it myself is because I can't succeed. Even if I die, I can't get close to the dragon's head. And you have this opportunity.
.But if you don’t want to do it, I will leave immediately and you will pretend you have never seen me.”
Jian Shanhong was also silent for a while. Gu Shuo also waited patiently. But after waiting all night, Jian Shanhong didn't send any sound. Gu Shuo didn't send any sound either. This was to make things difficult for Jian Shanhong and to make Jian Shanhong uncomfortable.
Send to death. No matter what you say, it will not change the result of sending Jian Shanhong to death.
People have abandoned their dignity, knelt at the feet of the demon clan, and become their slaves. You still force them to die, which is very difficult. Gu Shuo even took great risks to do this.
If it weren't for Jian Yingying's line, Gu Shuo wouldn't dare to contact Jian Shanhong.
Therefore, Gu Shuo stopped forcing Jian Shanhong and stopped contacting him. He just waited silently. He planned to wait here for three days. If Jian Shanhong stopped contacting him within three days, he would go back and discuss with Zhou Hua and others.
Jian Shanhong did not let Gu Shuo wait for that long. At midnight that day, Jian Shanhong sent another spiritual message: "Gu Shuo, I can promise you, but you must agree to my conditions."
Gu Shuo was overjoyed: "Say."
"Take care of my sister."
Gu Shuo was silent for a moment, and then he heard from his spiritual sense: "I promised you to take care of your sister, but I can't promise you that I will definitely take good care of your sister."
Jian Shanhong was silent for a moment. He also knew that a person's ability is limited, not to mention that Gu Shuo's cultivation level was not high. He then sent a message:
"Just do your best! And, if possible, take care of my family."
"I will do it within my ability." Gu Shuo responded cautiously. This actually made Jian Shanhong trust Gu Shuo even more.
"Okay, I believe you."
"Any more?"
"there is none left!"
Gu Shuo said seriously: "If I return to Tianmeng alive, I will report your contribution to Tianmeng, restore your reputation, and win the benefits you deserve.
Don’t worry, I still know a few senior people in Tianmeng. At least I’m very familiar with Tianmeng’s first weapon refiner, so I won’t bury your achievements.”
"Can I...can my reputation be restored?"
"Yes, I can't guarantee that I will be able to take care of your sister and your family, because my abilities are also limited. But as long as I don't die, I will definitely do it to restore my reputation. Even if I can't do it for the time being.
, I will not give up and spend my whole life doing it for you.
Because if you blow up the spiritual veins, this mission will be completed by you.
Why doesn't Tianmeng restore your reputation?
Just because you didn't stand in the light?
But you have completed a task that even the Heavenly Alliance cannot complete. Although you are not standing in the light, you are a hero."
Jian Shanhong was silent for a moment and said firmly: "I will do it!"
Then his tone was full of regret and desolation: "Gu Shuo, I really regret it. Why were I afraid of death in the first place? Because of the death penalty, I took the first step of surrender. Once I take this step, I can't look back.
Do you know why?"
"Why?"
"Because of the fear of death, when people take the step of surrender, they will be even more afraid of death. There is always a voice in the heart saying, you are like this, even if you are stubborn, if you die, won't you still be an adulterer?
It's better to surrender to the demon clan wholeheartedly.
However, the humiliation of being enslaved by demons gnaws at my heart every moment.
I felt humiliated, but I was afraid of death.
Gushuo, I live so...I don’t know how to describe it in words. Every day I feel like I’m walking in hell. But you told me today that I can restore my reputation and give me a choice.
Then, I will die!
Before, I couldn't restore my reputation even if I died, so I had no choice. Now I have a choice, and I choose to die. But for this death, if I was caught by the demon clan for the first time, I would be willing to self-destruct, that would be fine."
Gu Shuo sighed in his heart and didn't know how to persuade Jian Shanhong. After a while, Jian Shanhong said again:
"But this matter is very troublesome."
"What's the trouble?"
"Have you also seen the more than a hundred of us?"
"Um!"
"We people have different cultivation levels, and all the storage equipment has been taken away. Even the consciousness sea, they want us to open it, and then check whether there are magic weapons in our consciousness sea. People like me who don't have magic weapons in the consciousness sea,
Once the inspection is over, it's over. Those who have magic weapons in the sea of consciousness will have their magic weapons stripped off and taken away.
The question now is, how do I bring that array in?
Within that spiritual vein is a very large independent space, in which various spiritual fruit trees and herbs are planted, as well as some delicious spiritual beasts, spiritual fish, etc.
Normally, we would go in once every three months to pick spiritual fruits and herbs for the demon clan on the holy mountain, and catch spiritual beasts and spiritual fish. Each time, we would be given storage bags in advance and hand them in when we came out.
So, how to bring that array is a problem."
Gu Shuo thought for a while: "I have a magic weapon, which is an alchemy furnace. I will peel it out first, and then refine it for you. After that, you can put the array disk into the Nine Dragon Furnace, so that you can bring in the dragon head."
"Ok, I will wait for you."
Gu Shuo sacrificed the Nine Dragon Furnace and the wooden bottle, then transferred all the storage rings, beast control bags and other things in the Nine Dragon Furnace into the wooden bottle, then put the wooden bottle into the sea of consciousness, and finally
Start to divest yourself from the connection with Jiulong Furnace.
