Ye Changsheng sat aside, listening to the constant exchanges between Han Li and the elders, asking for all kinds of information about this underworld place.
The land of Yinming is not very big, only about a hundred miles in radius.
Among them, there are more than a dozen human villages, among which the one where Ye Changsheng and the others are now is considered one of the largest.
Many other small villages are on the verge of extinction all day long, and may one day disappear.
In addition to humans, there are also many monsters living in this underworld.
Naturally, these monsters come in from the outside world. Although they are also unable to use magic, the path of cultivation of monsters is different from that of humans. They not only practice monster elixirs, but also temper their bodies.
Therefore, their physical bodies are much stronger than humans, and these monster beasts are quite comfortable living here.
They feed on the underworld beasts and generally live in several fixed areas. As long as no one provokes them, they will not leave their nests voluntarily.
The food chain of the entire Yinming Land consists of monster beasts, Yinming Beasts and humans. Humans are at the bottom, and Yinming Beasts like to eat human flesh and blood the most.
And once the human village is not strong enough, it will be easily destroyed by the underworld beast and massacred.
And because the energy of Yinming has always existed, the Yinming beasts in this place are almost inexhaustible.
After a conversation, under the arrangement of the village elders, Ye Changsheng and Han Li were assigned to a stone house.
Han Li glanced at the dark sky, couldn't help but sigh, and asked: "Uncle Ye, what are your plans next?"
"Of course I have to leave here. Didn't Brother Han just do it because of the Great Elder's decision on how to leave?" Ye Changsheng said lightly.
Han Li smiled bitterly when he heard this and said: "Uncle Master also heard what that person said. There are many dangers on the Storm Mountain. Trying to climb it is almost equal to death!"
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. I would like to test whether those underworld beasts are as powerful as they say!" Ye Changsheng smiled lightly and said with an indifferent expression.
When Han Li heard this, a helpless smile appeared on his face.
Uncle Ye's physical body was astonishingly strong, so he could naturally try to fight against the Yinming beast, but he couldn't.
Not to mention the underworld beast, he might not be able to cope with the dangers such as the wind, thick fog, etc. on the mountain.
It seems that if you want to leave this place, you have to worry more!
Various thoughts arose in Han Li's mind.
He recalled the various descriptions the village elder had just given about Storm Mountain, and considered how he could climb it.
In the past, countless people wanted to leave the Land of Netherworld from Storm Mountain, but without exception, they all turned into ice corpses at the foot of the mountain.
Now Han Li was not sure about climbing this dangerous mountain range.
So he seemed very worried.
After the two of them stayed here for a while, there was a knock on the door.
Han Li's expression changed, and he stepped forward to open the door. There were several figures standing outside the door.
An old man with wrinkles on his face and bright eyes said with a smile: "I heard that two more Taoist friends have arrived, so we came here specially to visit!"
"You are also an immortal cultivator?" Han Li asked.
"I, Wu Longhai, have returned my son, may I ask what my two fellow Taoists should be called?" the old man cupped his hands and asked with a smile.
"My surname is Han, a casual cultivator from Tiannan!" Han Li cupped his fists and smiled.
"Who is this fellow Taoist?" Bao Huanzi looked at Ye Changsheng and asked.
"My surname is Ye!" Ye Changsheng said calmly.
Bao Huanzi looked at him carefully, and then said: "I have heard of these two fellow Taoists from Tiannan who are from Tiannan. The few behind me are all monks from the Jin Dynasty!"
Hearing the name Da Jin, Ye Changsheng and Han Li both looked over.
As a holy place for spiritual practice in the human world, the name of Dajin is spread throughout the spiritual world.
Compared to the Immortal Cultivation World of the Great Jin Dynasty, places like Tiannan and Luan Xinghai can be regarded as remote places to a certain extent.
"My surname is Yun, and I come from Tianfu Sect!"
"My surname is Jin, and I come from Sihai Zhenyuan!"
The two old men each introduced their origins.
"What are the three fellow Taoists here for?" Ye Changsheng glanced at the three of them and asked.
The three people each looked at each other. The old man named Bao Huanzi, who was the leader, laughed and said:
"This time we are here. Firstly, we want to visit two fellow Taoists who have just arrived here. Secondly, we want to ask these two fellow Taoists if they are interested in joining our alliance?"
"Alliance?" Ye Changsheng frowned upon hearing this.
"That's right, it's an alliance of monks. The main members are the monks like us who joined the village!" Bao Huanzi said.
"You formed this kind of alliance, shouldn't it be for no reason?" Ye Changsheng asked calmly.
"this......"
Upon hearing his questioning words, the three people immediately looked at each other, as if they were hesitant, wondering whether they should speak their minds directly.
After a moment of stalemate, the sinister old man with a hunchback named Jin suddenly spoke: "Two fellow Taoists, I wonder if you are interested in ruling this village with us?"
"This..." Han Li had a look of surprise on his face when he heard this.
"What do you mean?" He was a little confused.
"Since we are both monks, let me tell you the truth. Presumably, the two fellow Taoists have also met the elders in the village. Among them, except for the two monks who came earlier, the rest are mortals!
"
"They, a group of mortals, rely on their martial arts skills to control the power of the village, and they don't take us monks seriously at all!"
"On weekdays, they not only guard us like thieves, but also allow us to risk going out to hunt Yin beasts. I've really had enough of these days!"
"If we work together, we will be able to overthrow these mortal elders. As long as we can grab one or two Yinming beast crystals, we can use them to cast some spells and completely control the village!"
...
The Huanzi from the Five Dragon Sea tried his best to tell Ye Changsheng and Han Li the benefits of joining their alliance and overthrowing the rule of mortals.
From what they said, the status of monks in this village is very low, and they are monitored and guarded everywhere.
And from time to time, he would go out to fight with the underworld beasts. In the past, many monks even died because of this.
"I'm not interested in this kind of thing!" Ye Changsheng said lightly and refused.
Han Li also shook his head. He was naturally indifferent to this kind of struggle for power, and immediately said: "Han has the same attitude!"
"You two, are you willing to be ordered around by mortals here for the rest of your life? You know, once you enter this dark place, you will never be able to get out again!" Bao Huanzi said immediately.
"In the past, there were even masters in the Nascent Soul stage who came in. Facing the Storm Mountain, they could only look away and sigh, and eventually died here!" Bao Huanzi said with a sad face.
As a monk, he never wanted to stay in a place like this.
However, it was useless not to stay, there was no hope of leaving.
He also climbed the Storm Mountain back then, but after climbing a short distance, he immediately gave up and returned.
Because of being blown by the dark wind, I even fell seriously ill and lay in bed for more than half a month.
Since then, he has completely given up the idea of leaving this dark place and concentrated on scheming in this village.
Han Li was not interested in this old man's sad mood. Instead, he asked in surprise: "Oh? There have been Nascent Soul monks here before?"
"also?!"
Hearing this word, the monks looked at Ye Changsheng and Han Li with surprise.
There was a slight change in Bao Huanzi's attitude. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, that Yuanying master also carved his life's cultivation insights on a stone tablet!"
"Where is the stone tablet?" Han Li asked immediately.
"In that warehouse, there are still many relics of the monks who lived here!"
"Perhaps, our things will be stored there in the future!" Bao Huanzi said with a hint of sadness.
"Guys, please come back. We are not interested in what you are talking about, but we will not tell anyone about today's conversation!" Ye Changsheng said calmly with a smile on his face.
The three men looked at the two of them hesitantly, looked at each other a few times, and finally walked out reluctantly.
They were a little surprised by the information revealed in Han Li's words just now, and suspected that there was a Nascent Soul cultivator among the two people.
Therefore, nothing more was said.
Although they have arrived in the land of underworld, the intimidation of Yuanying monks to them still exists.
"Uncle Ye, I want to go and visit that warehouse. Do you want to go?" Han Li said immediately after seeing the three people leaving.
He was still very interested in the cultivation experience of a Nascent Soul monk and couldn't wait to check it out.
"If I remember correctly, Han Li learned the demon language here!" Ye Changsheng thought in his mind.
So, he said: "Then go and have a look!"
With that said, the two walked out of the stone house, came to the warehouse, opened the heavy door and entered.
This place is extremely simple. Apart from rows of stone tablets of similar sizes around it, there is just a rough stone table placed in the room.
On the stone table, there were only a few dull magic weapons placed on it.
There are no jade slips, bamboo slips or the like that may be related to recording secret books.
Thinking about it, the storage bag cannot be opened at all in this place, so naturally there are no secrets to be found.
However, strangely enough, there are none of the monk's storage bags here.
The stone tablets recorded a lot of things on them, some of which were the life experiences of some monks, and some of which recorded their own cultivation experiences.
Han Li looked at the stone tablets and immediately looked for the Nascent Soul monk's cultivation experience, while Ye Changsheng began to look for the stone tablet with the demonic inscriptions on it.
He walked to the last stone tablet, reached out to brush off the dust on it, and saw that there were many words the size of rice grains densely imprinted on it.
There are two types of writing, one is the ordinary ancient writing that he knows, and the other is a kind of writing that looks very strange.
This is the demon script. The animal skin that Ye Changsheng obtained that recorded the nameless Qi-condensing formula was covered with demon script.
Comparing the upper and lower parts, this stone tablet teaches the demon script in great detail, explaining each word. This was definitely carved by a monk who knew the demon script well.
Although he didn't know why someone would leave an inscription teaching demon script here, Ye Changsheng immediately memorized the inscription.
"Boom!"
"Roar!"
While the two of them were observing the inscriptions here, suddenly, there were bursts of roaring sounds from outside, accompanied by huge beast roars.
The earth was trembling, as if something huge was approaching.
Ye Changsheng and Han Li immediately walked out and saw outside the wall, a little further outside the village, flying sand and rocks, violent winds, and bursts of strange black wind.
It was impossible to see anything clearly, and wherever these strange black winds blew, a thick layer of black frost had condensed on the ground.
It looks extremely cold. This must be the cold wind that the elders were talking about.
As expected, it was not something ordinary people could bear. Han Li saw the frost on the ground change color.
If you want to leave and climb Stormwind Mountain, there will be this kind of dark wind everywhere.
But as soon as these dark winds approached a hundred meters away from the village, they immediately dissipated and could never cross an invisible boundary.
Ye Changsheng looked at the high platform in the middle of the village, where the formation was in operation to withstand the evil wind.
In the dark wind, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground continued to sound, and a huge black shadow dozens of feet tall came out of the wind.
After seeing the true face of the black shadow, Han Li took a deep breath.
At first glance, the black figure seemed to be a gray giant ape enlarged dozens of times, but this beast had four eyes on its face, wings under its ribs, and its eyes were blood red, filled with an endless aura of killing.
"It's a cunning beast, send me a big shield quickly!"
Waves of frightened shouts rang out, and some people in the village took a deep breath when seeing such a huge and ferocious monster, and their eyes were full of fear.
too big!
It's not that there weren't cunning beasts attacking villages in the past, but those were more than ten feet tall and were easy to deal with.
The current one is three times larger than the previous one, and it is obviously stronger!
Accompanied by waves of shouts, shields were sent to the city wall one after another, and were taken over by the warriors.
Those warriors held shields in one hand and snow-white weapons in the other, ready to attack the giant beast at any time.
Bao Huanzi and others who had just met Ye Changsheng and the others also appeared on the city wall, each holding a thumb-sized light green crystal in their hands.
As they muttered words, a moment later, a ray of light shot out from the light green crystal and landed on the huge stone platform in the center of the village.
The next moment, several huge tentacles transformed from thick purple mist suddenly appeared on the ground outside the village.
These tentacles immediately grabbed the giant beast's feet and dragged them, preventing it from moving forward.
The giant beast's pace was slightly stopped. At this time, the warriors on the city wall immediately took action, and densely packed spears and arrows were shot like raindrops.
The giant beast roared angrily, opened its mouth and blew out a stream of sinister wind. As a result, the arrows and spears were frozen one after another and fell to the ground.
At the same time, it seemed to be irritated, its eyes flashed with blood, and with a "bang", some of the bristles on its neck stood up one by one.
Then, it lowered its head, and its erected hair turned into countless black lights flying towards it.
