"Of course I'm interested." Liu Mang said with a smile, "I just want to look through these secret books. It shouldn't be an easy task. What does Master Gu want me to do?"
Gu Rong opened the cherry mouth lightly and said: "I need Mr. Han to protect my sister-in-law for a while."
Seeing Liu Mang's confused look, Gu Rong asked: "Master Han, what do you think of your sister-in-law's background?"
"It's extremely solid, and its accumulation is as deep as that of a foundation-building monk. It's the only thing I've ever seen in my life. If you want to break through, it's just a snap of your fingers."
"That's because I haven't let her break through." Gu Rong explained, "One year later, the secret realm of the ancient great master Shou Zheng will be opened again.
Only those who have not established a foundation can obtain the inheritance of ancient power.
The entry of monks who are above the level of Qi training will interfere with Shangzhen's arrangement and prevent the inheritance from being revealed."
Gu Rong looked directly into Liu Mang's eyes, and the dark eyes clearly reflected Liu Mang's face: "Therefore, the many sects that control this secret realm have agreed that the disciples who enter the secret realm must not exceed the level of Qi training.
However, there are no requirements for the cultivation level of the warriors. Monks who want to inherit the inheritance can bring in martial arts warriors with higher cultivation levels."
Gu Rong saw Liu Mang crossing the border and defeating Jin Dan, and thought that Liu Mang's rare goods could be a good place to live.
In the vast sea world where the highest level of martial arts cultivation is only the fourth level, it is not an exaggeration to say that a fourth-level warrior like Liu Mang, who can surpass the level and defeat the Golden Core, is the strongest among the warriors.
Gu Li, who was next to him, also had a look of astonishment on his face. It was obviously the first time he knew about this.
Lux?
Liu Mang frowned slightly after hearing this.
He is a sixth-level Yang Realm monk, and his future is limitless. How can he be a strongman for a female Qi practitioner?
Gu Rong seemed to see Liu Mang's resistance, and the corners of her lips were slightly curved, like icebergs and snow lotuses in bloom, extremely beautiful.
"Master Han only needs to protect his sister-in-law for one year. After the matter in the secret realm is resolved, he can come and go as he pleases.
As for the conditions, no matter what you ask, I will try my best to meet them, regardless of whether my sister-in-law can get the inheritance."
After saying that, light flashed in Gu Rong's hand, and a yellow scroll appeared, and then it floated to Liu Mang's hand.
Liu Mang looked at the deed on the scroll and his expression softened slightly.
In the world of immortality, there are three main types of strength contracts signed by warriors and monks.
The first type is the master-servant contract, which has the most stringent conditions.
The relationship between a monk and a strongman is equivalent to that of a master and a slave. A strongman cannot refuse the master's orders. The master humiliates and the servant humiliates, and the master dies and the servant dies, and they are bound for life.
Such warriors are usually dead warriors trained by big families, or destitute people who have no other choice.
The second type is the loyalty deed. Relatively speaking, the status of a strongman is much higher.
The monks cannot boss around the warriors, and some warriors with bad tempers can even fight back against the monks. But if there is danger, the warriors must step up and fulfill the contract.
These two types of deeds are very common in the world of immortality.
The third type is the equal deed, which is extremely rare.
The relationship between strongmen and monks is completely equal. If they encounter irresistible danger, if they don't care about the inner demons when they break through in the future, strongmen can even escape on their own.
What Gu Rong showed to Liu Mang was the third type of contract, even with a one-year limit.
When the one-year period is up, it is entirely up to Liu Mang himself whether he wants to renew the contract or not.
Even if the deadline is not reached and Liu Mang wants to break the contract, the price he pays is not very high. He has an attribute bar, and the inner demons when he breaks through completely disappear.
Liu Mang's eyes flashed.
Although he is a sixth-level monk, if the other party offers enough benefits, it is not impossible for him to 'sell himself' for a year.
After all, in just one year, he might not be able to find high-level martial arts secrets by himself.
Moreover, the other party seems to attach great importance to this secret realm, and even mentioned the conditions casually.
"I need to plant a magic pill." Liu Mang thought for a while and said.
As long as he can generate spiritual roots and rely on his attributes, he will become the most talented monk in the world.
At that time, as long as you join a large sect, you can come and go freely in various secret realms?
As the saying goes, it is better to ask people to fish than to ask people to fish.
"Yes." Gu Rong nodded and agreed without hesitation.
"Spiritual elixirs are extremely scarce, and I am only sure of getting one. If I get one, there is a 30 to 40 percent chance of generating a false spiritual root.
However, if you can succeed, I can introduce you to the Xinghe Sect." She added.
After Liu Mang heard this, he exclaimed inwardly that these few words had firmly tied the interests of both parties together.
Xinghe Sect seems to be a large sect.
If he enters the Xinghe Sect in the future, Gu Rong will be his backstage, and at best they can take care of each other.
At this time, it was no longer possible to help Gu Li obtain the inheritance.
"The sect is not worried about me being promoted to the Yang Realm?" Liu Mang asked.
"Not every sect will be hostile to warriors and suppress them." Gu Rong said meaningfully.
Finally, the two parties negotiated terms.
Gu Rong first made an oath to the soul, and after promising the secret realm, she gave the spiritual elixir to Liu Mang.
Then a large amount of mana was output from the whole body, and a whistling sound similar to the wind could even be heard.
On the scroll deed, the time when Liu Mang and Gu Li signed the contract was written, which was exactly one year.
Then, the red light on the scroll burst out, and then began to burn, turning into two rays of starlight, which merged into the bodies of Liu Mang and Gu Li respectively.
Liu Mang felt that he and Gu Li had established some kind of connection of interests.
Of course, this connection is extremely fragile and he can break it off at any time if he wants to.
"The sword Mr. Han is carrying has serious consequences, so you need to be careful." Gu Rong reminded.
She had already seen the knife box Liu Mang was carrying and felt the strange aura coming from it.
"I wonder if Master Gu has a storage bag that can accommodate it?"
Liu Mang knew that in the Vast Sea Realm, there was a storage bag that could be opened by recognizing the user's breath. Ordinary people could also use it.
Of course, the price is much more expensive than ordinary storage bags.
"This knife is so powerful that it can't fit in the storage bag." Gu Rong shook her head.
However, she still gave Liu Mang such a storage bag.
Then, she looked at her sister Gu Li: "I originally wanted to take you there, but now it seems that you need to go there by yourself."
After saying that, many cracks suddenly appeared in her body, and eventually it shattered into countless pieces of wood.
It turned out that she was possessed by a puppet before, and Liu Mang didn't even notice it. He only thought that the other party was deliberately controlling the blood and heartbeat.
After spending a lot of mana to sign the contract, he could no longer maintain his puppet form.
This shows that the opponent's strength is still above my own estimation, and he should not be far from the true king.
After Gu Rong left, only Gu Li and Liu Mang were left at the scene, and the atmosphere was a little delicate for a while.
Gu Li said with some embarrassment: "My sister arranged it. If something unexpected happens, please don't mind Mr. Han."
Liu Mang said calmly: "This is my opportunity. In the next year, I ask Master Gu to take care of me."
Gu Li felt a lot more relaxed after hearing this: "Before I leave, I have to arrange the affairs of the village."
"There is no rush." Liu Mang nodded.
Next, Gu Li summoned many clan elders and stewards in the village and told them that he was leaving Zhuangzi to join the sect.
Many clan elders and stewards looked happy after hearing this.
After all, the more monks that come out of Gujiazhuang, the more they will be able to benefit the family in the future, and the Gu family's position in the Yu Kingdom will become more stable.
Under the auspices of Gu Li, Gujiazhuang elected a new head.
At the family meeting, Gu Li once again emphasized Gu Qingqing's status and added two personal maids to her.
In this way, Gu Qingqing has someone to take care of her, and Liu Mang no longer has to worry about anything.
After sorting out the necessary matters, Liu Mang and Gu Li left Gujiazhuang and headed towards their destination, Xinghe Sect.
Gu Li cast a spell and created two spiritual horses, one black and one white, seven or eight feet tall for the two of them to ride.
The traveling speed of a spiritual horse is not much faster than that of a real horse, but it is more durable and can travel day and night without consuming much spiritual energy.
With Gu Li's level of foundation building, it can last for a long time.
"I wonder where the Xinghe Sect is?"
"Going eastward, we need to pass through thirteen countries before we can reach the vast Tahoe Dojo."
Through communication with Gu Li.
Liu Mang then knew that Taihao Dojo was a place with many sects.
In ancient times, Taihao Sect discovered a cave here and settled here, gradually growing into the top sect in the world of cultivating immortals, and its popularity was unparalleled for a while.
But there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and he had a disagreement with Taishang Daozong, the overlord of the Crescent Continent, and a war broke out that shocked the world of immortality.
After this battle, the Taihao Sect was destroyed, and the Taishang Dao Sect was also severely damaged. It is currently known as the four strongest sects in the Crescent Continent along with Lingjian Mountain, Tianyan Sect, and Daluo Sect.
Although it is still at the top of the sect level, it has also lost its previous unparalleled dominance.
After the destruction of the Taihao Sect, the original Cave Heaven was severely damaged and turned into three second-class blessed places, which were later occupied by the three major sects: the Corpse Exorcist Sect, the Immortal Gourd Sect, and the Zhonglan Sect, which divided the Taihao Sect's inheritance equally.
.
Three thousand years ago, a man named Xiang Wanyang discovered another extremely hidden blessed place in Taihao Dojo, and established the Xinghe Sect here.
Nowadays, the four major sects of Taihao Dojo: the Immortal Calculus Sect, the Corpse Exorcist Sect, the Optimistic Sect, and the Galaxy Sect stand on a four-legged basis. Their influence reaches more than a hundred small countries, and they are considered a force that cannot be underestimated in the northern part of the Crescent Continent.
Compared with the other three sects with tens of thousands of years of history, the Xinghe Sect is a rising star, after all, its background is far behind.
But being able to occupy a piece of blessed land in the Tahoe Dojo to this day shows that his strength cannot be underestimated.
Liu Mang and Gu Li ran all the way, most of the time walking in uninhabited wilderness forests, and a small part of the time stopping at human gathering places for supplies.
It's rare to encounter someone who doesn't open your eyes and provoke them on the road. After all, the spiritual horse is not a mortal thing at first sight.
After running for about ten days, about a thousand feet ahead, I saw a large garden shrouded in colorful light.
On the periphery of the garden, you can see huge red flowers more than ten feet tall, as big as a house, with petals bigger than people, and strange humanoid creatures flying around with fluttering wings.
These humanoid creatures are about the same size as humans.
There are many patterns painted on the face, the eyes are yellowish brown, the hair is green, there are two gray tentacles on the top of the head, and there are two translucent wings on the back, vibrating at an extremely high speed.
But where the legs should have been, there was only an oval structure similar to a silkworm chrysalis.
And the light of wisdom in their eyes proves their identity as monsters.
"This is the Butterfly Garden, hurry up and avoid this place!"
When Gu Li saw it, his expression changed drastically and he said to Liu Mang.
But it's too late.
A female-looking monster spotted them. With a flash of its wings, it appeared hundreds of feet away. It took them only a few breaths to arrive in front of them.
Liu Mang grabbed Gu Li's shoulder and ran away in an instant.
boom!
The monster waved his hand, and a green beam of light hit the spot where Liu Mang and Liu Mang were originally standing, directly killing the two spiritual horses conjured by Gu Li into pieces.
Seeing that the target was not hit, the monster's eyes flashed coldly, and he continued to chase Liu Mang.
Feeling the rapidly approaching aura behind him, Liu Mang frowned, and a solid red astral balloon suddenly appeared in the center of his right hand.
"Don't kill it!"
Gu Li seemed to know what Liu Mang was going to do and hurriedly stopped him.
After Liu Mang heard this, he dispersed most of the red gang balloon and violently threw it back!
boom!
Only a scream was heard, and the butterfly-shaped monster suddenly fell from the sky and fell heavily to the ground.
It vomited blood, looked in the direction where Liu Mang and the two disappeared, and roared unwillingly, with an angry light in its eyes.
Half an hour later.
Liu Mang and the two came to a secluded flat land.
Gu Li patted her chest thoughtfully, stuck out her pink tongue and said, "It's been a long time since I've traveled far, and I almost entered the restricted area by mistake."
"Restricted area?" Liu Mang asked doubtfully.
For some reason, he suddenly thought of the mysterious valley called the 'Half Dragon Valley' that he had encountered before. Dragon-like creatures appeared from time to time at the entrance of the valley.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The restricted area is the most dangerous area on this continent. If humans enter by mistake, they will definitely die. Fortunately, their number is small, and it is difficult for ordinary people to encounter them in their lifetime.
"
After Gu Li finished speaking, a leather map suddenly appeared in his hand.
Liu Mang saw that this map had Taihao Dojo as the center and was surrounded by more than a hundred small countries. The lower border was all covered by part of the territory of the superpower Qi.
However, more of Qi's territory cannot be seen on the map.
This map is obviously only a local map of the northern part of the Crescent Continent.
Among the more than a hundred small countries on the map, there are three conspicuous red crosses marked, and their names are Butterfly Garden, Half-Dragon Valley, and Dark Forest.
When Liu Mang saw that the name and location of Half Dragon Valley were the same as the one he had encountered before, Liu Mang knew that he had guessed correctly.
"If we had killed it just now, we would have been in big trouble. There is no chance that a big monster would come out to hunt us down in the restricted area," Gu Li said.
"What is the origin of these restricted areas?" Liu Mang asked.
"I heard my sister say that the restricted area is the territory of the demon clan, and there are even demon king-level existences in it. Even the true king of the human race can kill them with his own hands.
This map is incomplete. The number of restricted areas in the entire Crescent Continent is close to two fingers."
Liu Mang couldn't help but be horrified after hearing this.
…
I don't know how many millions of miles away.
A blue sacred mountain stands in the middle of the undulating sea, with misty clouds and mist reaching into the sky.
At this time, a black feather suddenly appeared outside the mountain. In a flash of light, it transformed into a humanoid monster with a human head and beak, blond hair, and two wings.
"I am the Golden Crown Marquis of the Immortal Burial Ruins, here to investigate the cause of death of the envoy from the Ten Thousand Monster Mountains!" the monster said loudly, even making a sound visible to the naked eye.
The monster's voice immediately alarmed many beings in the holy mountain.
"Ten Thousand Demon Mountains are too far away after all, and people from the restricted area came first!"
"The Immortal Burial Ruins, even in the restricted area, are ranked among the best!"
"This is troublesome. We must give them an explanation."
