Zhou Yang knew very little about the legendary demonic monks. He only knew that the techniques practiced by demonic monks were very different from those of serious immortal monks. Moreover, it was said that the practice process would be accompanied by great pain, and it was easy to become possessed.
The world of immortality seems to be extremely afraid of demonic monks, and information is severely blocked. Zhou Yang only knows that once traces of demonic cultivators are discovered in the world of immortality anywhere, high-level monks will immediately come out to eliminate demons and defend the way.
He once vaguely learned from the autobiography of a foundation-building monk who participated in the battle to eliminate demons that demonic monks are divided into several branches according to the types of exercises. Among them, demonic cultivators who are good at refining corpses and controlling them are called corpse demons.
The demonic cultivators who exorcise ghosts are called ghosts, and the other is the lineage of blood demons that he learned from the black jade slip this time.
The black jade slips do not contain any records of the Blood Demon lineage's techniques, but only record three secret techniques of the Blood Demon lineage: "Blood Arrow Technique", "Blood Boiling Technique", and "Blood Escape Technique".
"Blood Arrow Technique" has the lowest requirements for cultivation, and can be practiced and used by immortal cultivators during the Qi training period. However, without the support of the blood demon lineage, this secret technique is more powerful in the hands of immortal cultivators than in the blood.
The demon cultivators of the demon lineage have much smaller ones in their hands.
"Blood Boiling Technique" and "Blood Escape Technique" have higher requirements for cultivation. If a cultivator wants to use these two secret techniques, he must have a foundation-building level of cultivation before he can use them.
Among them, the "Blood Boil Technique" is a desperate secret technique that burns the cultivator's own essence and blood in exchange for a temporary increase in mana, which can increase mana several times at most.
The "Blood Escape Technique" is a secret method of escaping. It is also used by burning the essence and blood of the cultivators. Once this method is used, one can escape at least a hundred miles. After the monks in the later stage of foundation building used it, they could escape from the hands of the monks in the Zifu period.
Life is not too difficult.
After Zhou Yang studied these three secret methods of magic, he could only lament that magic is indeed a magic way. It is not only cruel and vicious to others, but also to himself.
The essence and blood of the immortal cultivator is not just ordinary blood, but something that contains the essence of the three kinds of vitality of the immortal cultivator: essence, energy and spirit.
For a monk in the Qi-training stage, the total amount of essence and blood in his body cannot fill a small drinking cup. Losing even one drop will make him weak for several days.
And if the essence and blood are lost too much, not only will the cultivator's cultivation level regress, but his lifespan will also be reduced. If it is not replenished in time, his path will basically be over in the future.
Therefore, it is basically impossible for a cultivator to expend blood and essence to perform some desperate techniques that are classified as "forbidden techniques" until the critical moment of life and death.
However, Zhou Yang knew from the jade slips he obtained that most of the spells of monks of the blood demon lineage were related to blood essence, and the more blood essence was consumed when casting a spell, the greater its power would be.
Taking the "Blood Arrow Technique" as an example, according to what Zhou Yang knew from the information on the jade slip, if a nine-level demon cultivator who has practiced the Blood Demon lineage is willing to give up all his blood to perform this secret
In terms of spells, the power of blood arrows is much higher than ordinary third-level low-grade spells. If a monk in the early stage of foundation building is not careful, he may fall into this blow.
A monk in the Qi-training stage used a secret technique to transcend levels and kill a monk in the Foundation-building stage, even at the cost of his life. This is shocking enough.
From Zhou Yang's first contact with cultivation to now, what he knows and heard is that unless he is carrying a treasure given by a high-level monk, or the enemy himself has been seriously injured and his cultivation level has been greatly reduced.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to kill a monk in the Foundation Establishment stage with a Qi-training stage, and to kill a Zifu stage monk with a Foundation Establishment stage, even if it was the legendary monk with a spiritual body.
Can't do it.
As a ninth-level Qi-training monk, Zhou Yang knows how big the difference is between the Qi-training period and the Foundation-building period.
In terms of the simplest mana, even if the difference in mana quality is not considered, only the quantity is considered. The amount of mana of a first-level foundation-building monk who has just established a foundation is at least five times more than that of a ninth-level Qi-training monk!
With such a huge gap, what can monks in the Qi training stage use to cross levels and fight back?
"No wonder the higher-ups in the world of immortality want to block the news about the demonic monks. If these casual cultivators, especially the bandits, know that the secret techniques of the demonic way can allow them to kill enemies across levels, it would be strange if they don't practice it!"
"And once you practice the magic skills and secrets, how can you not want to refine magic weapons and elixirs?"
"But are magic weapons and elixirs so easy to refine? They often use the blood of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of mortals to refine weapons to make elixirs, and they often use the blood essence and soul of immortal cultivators to make elixirs. If there were more such magic monks in the world of immortality, now
What should be the situation in the world of cultivating immortals?"
After Zhou Yang figured out the key point, he couldn't help feeling terrified. He almost immediately wanted to destroy the jade slip in his hand and let this harmful thing disappear completely from the world.
But he finally stopped.
The reason why he stopped is also simple. Just like when he set up a trap for evil people before, it doesn't matter whether the method is destructive or just. As long as it doesn't violate his inner bottom line, he can use it.
He only uses the three secret techniques recorded in the jade slips and does not practice magic techniques, so he does not have to worry about being influenced to harm others.
Anyway, not only magic monks can refine elixirs for restoring essence, blood and vitality. Among the elixirs refined by immortal cultivators, there are also some elixirs specially used to restore essence, blood and vitality.
Of course, Zhou Yang had to admit that he was greedy for the effects of the "Blood Escape Technique".
Although this secret technique has serious side effects, the effect is very good. If he learns this secret technique after building a foundation, he can go out and make a living in the world.
For the next half month, Zhou Yang quietly hid in the basement and read a book. He had a lot of Bigu Pills with him, so he wouldn't be hungry even if he stayed for the first half of the year.
After more than half a month, Zhou Yang estimated that the bandits should have stopped, so he quietly escaped to the ground to investigate the situation.
Of course, for safety reasons, he still used the "Water Escape" talisman to take the water route this time.
The Baisha River runs through the entire Baisha River Oasis from south to north. As long as the bandits have not left the oasis, Zhou Yang can always find the bandits' movements while running along the river.
However, until he followed the river to Jinshui Lake in the northernmost part of the oasis, he found no trace of any sand bandits or even an immortal cultivator along the way. This made him finally convinced that the sand bandits had really left.
The bandits left, which was of course a good thing. After Zhou Yang confirmed that it was true, he immediately rushed towards Jinxia Mountain.
Before escaping from Fangshi, he had discussed with his adoptive mother Zhou Xuanyu and others that if he had a chance to escape and it was confirmed that the bandits had left the oasis, they could return to Jinxia Mountain to reunite.
At that time, everyone basically confirmed that since the sand bandits had to wait for the ancestors of the Chen family to leave the oasis before they dared to attack the oasis, they definitely did not dare to occupy the spiritual veins on the oasis and stay there permanently.
Therefore, as long as it is confirmed that the bandits have left the oasis, Jinxia Mountain, which is the first target of the bandits' attack, is the most suitable place to reunite.
However, when he hurriedly and slowly arrived outside Jinxia Mountain, what he saw made his expression change suddenly.
I saw that Jinxia Mountain, which was originally hundreds of meters high and full of spiritual energy, has now turned into a dead place with no spiritual energy.
Not only was the spiritual energy on the mountain completely dissipated, but the entire mountain collapsed and dropped dozens of meters in height. All the original buildings, flowers, plants and trees on the mountain were gone, leaving only traces of the fire scorching the ground.
.
"It's crazy, it's crazy!"
Zhou Yang watched this scene with a livid face, completely angered by the situation in Jinxia Mountain.
There is no doubt about the importance of spiritual veins to immortal cultivators. Generally speaking, battles between immortal cultivators, even if it is a sect war, will not destroy the enemy's spiritual veins. At best, they will occupy it themselves.
After all, if you have one more spiritual vein, you can support many more monks on your side. No sect or family would complain that they have too many spiritual veins.
In the past, even the sand bandits would not destroy the spiritual veins on the oases after they conquered them.
Because the bandits also know that if there are no spiritual veins to support other immortal cultivators, they will have no targets to rob, and only by keeping the spiritual veins there can they attract other immortal cultivators to come and rob them.
But now, those bandits who invaded the Baisha River Oasis have broken this taboo!
Zhou Yang could already imagine the expression on the face of the ancestor of the Chen family when he came back and saw the Jinxia Mountain that had been burned to a white ground by the fire!
Needless to say, the importance of Jinxia Mountain to the Chen family. The biggest income of the Chen family is the market here in Jinxia Mountain. This market has put a lot of effort into the Chen family. It took hundreds of years of management by more than ten generations of the Chen family to become the market.
With the current prosperity and reputation of "Jinshafang City".
Now, everything is gone!
"The sky in Baisha River Oasis is about to change!"
Zhou Yang looked up at the blue sky and seemed to have seen a storm brewing.
Jinxia Mountain was burned to a white ground. Of course, Zhou Yang and the others could not get back the storage bags they had buried, which made him feel very painful.
You know, those storage bags contain spiritual resources worth thousands of spiritual stones.
It's just that his body hurts. Now that the matter has come to this, he has no choice but to keep this account in his heart and ask for it back from the bandits when he has the opportunity in the future.
In the next few days, Zhou Yang wandered around Jinxia Mountain, hoping to find the Zhou family members who came to reunite.
In fact, not only was he wandering around looking for his clan members, but other family survivors who also broke out in the city also unanimously regarded Jinxia Mountain as a gathering point after the war, and they were also wandering around looking for themselves.
Family members.
After he met with some people and exchanged the intelligence information they had on the bandits, he found that many people, like him, seemed to have noticed something from the bandits' series of abnormal behaviors. They were somewhat secretive and did not dare to talk more about it.
topic.
After four or five days of searching, Zhou Yang found three members of the Zhou family: Zhou Yuanchun, Zhou Yuanzhen, and Zhou Xiong.
During the conversation with the three people, he learned that after everyone escaped that day, due to their low cultivation level, these three people were not hunted down by bandits. After they escaped from Jinxia Mountain, they searched for them like him.
He hid in the barren mountains and mountains, and only recently did he dare to come out and wander around.
But apart from these three people, there has been no news about his adoptive mother Zhou Xuanyu, who he is most worried about. Even her husband Wu Tao has completely lost news.
