The middle-aged Taoist priest gave instructions to Tianci, and then he and the old monk flew towards the mountains on the opposite side. Looking at the two people walking away, Tianci couldn't help but marvel:
"Is this a high-level monk? So powerful! Is Senior Brother Jingyong also so powerful?"
After some admiration and admiration, Tianci stood quietly under the banner, waiting for everyone to return.
About ten minutes later, figures began to come out of the mountains and rush toward the top of the mountain where Tianci was.
When everyone rushed to the flagpole on the platform at the top of the mountain, some lay down directly on the ground to recover their strength, some knelt on the ground and bowed towards the distant mountains and chanted softly, some bowed their heads and cried, and some stood silently...
···
Without exception, everyone is depressed.
Everyone was more or less stained, some had tattered clothes, some were stained with blood, and some were even seriously injured and had to be supported by their companions. There was no doubt that everyone had experienced a life-and-death battle.
Tianci, the only one who was intact, hid aside and listened quietly to everyone's conversation, and roughly understood what everyone was going through.
It turned out that as soon as everyone crossed the Plain of Bones, they discovered various rare herbs and spiritual fruits on the opposite mountain. Regardless of whether they knew them or not, they all went up the mountain to pick them. As time went by, everyone gradually dispersed to different hills. As they deepened, they began to sporadic
Encountered attacks by strange insects and beasts; at first the monks did not pay attention. As monks, it was more than enough to deal with these uncultivated strange insects and monsters. Unexpectedly, there were more and more poisonous insects and beasts, as if they were endless, crazy.
Attacking these outsiders, everyone fell into a bitter battle one after another. They wanted to retreat the same way, only to find that they didn't know how deep they had gone, they had lost their direction, and they didn't know where to retreat.
The scattered monks immediately formed battle groups one by one, fighting and defending while looking for a way out. When the monks who were trapped in a bitter battle were about to despair, they heard the "thousand-mile sound transmission" of the middle-aged Taoist priest, and accompanied by a blue light floating in the air.
Dao flag, everyone had guidance and fled in the direction of Dao flag.
Looking at the monks who were in a sorry state but with bulging bags, Tianci sighed in his heart:
"Those who are able to come back are all lucky, and those who are unfortunate will sleep here forever!"
Zhang Mengmeng, please be safe..."
About half an hour later, the middle-aged Taoist priest and the old monk led Zhang Mengmeng, ** Wen and the last group of monks to fly towards the top of the mountain. And among the mountains on the opposite side, five huge figures and three black figures suddenly appeared.
, two streaks of red, black, and red mist swirled around, making it difficult to see the true appearance. They fell on the top of the mountain opposite, and a strong evil aura rushed towards everyone across the plain of bones.
Tianci and other monks quickly prepared weapons to fight.
The old monk who had just landed signaled everyone to put down their weapons, clasped his hands together, and said in a deep voice towards the distant mountains:
"Amitabha! I am ignorant, I mistakenly entered this place, and disturbed everyone's spiritual practice. It is a sin, a sin! We have no other intention, so we will withdraw now."
After a moment, two bloody figures shot into the depths of the mountains and disappeared, while three black figures still stood there and watched everyone from a distance.
"Presumably none of you are willing to restart the war. Since the younger generations have also been punished, how about we all take a step back and stop the matter here?"
The middle-aged Taoist priest stepped forward, stood beside the old monk, and said to the three black figures in the distance.
After a while, the two black shadows disappeared into the mountains, leaving only one black shadow still standing motionless.
"Amitabha! Are you planning to restart the war?
After we withdraw, we will seal this place again and no longer allow anyone to come in and disturb your cultivation."
"snort!"
A voice without any emotion sounded in everyone's mind at the same time.
Tianci suddenly felt that his whole body was cold and his consciousness was hazy, as if his soul was about to leave his body.
"Amitabha!"
The old monk shouted the Buddha's name, and golden light emitted from his body, covering everyone on the top of the mountain. Bathed in the golden light, Tianci instantly regained consciousness.
'Amazing!'
Tianci, who woke up, examined his body and marveled at the same time. Some low-level Qi-refining monks around him had bleeding noses and collapsed on the ground.
And the dark shadow on the mountain opposite disappeared at some point.
The old monk and the middle-aged Taoist priest began to save people one by one. Fortunately, the black shadow was only punishing and did not really want to kill anyone. After the two of them did this for a while, the monks who had fainted in the Qi Refining Stage woke up one after another. However, after this shock, they all had to
I have been practicing meditation for several months.
Taking advantage of this gap, Tianci walked to Zhang Mengmeng:
"are you OK?"
Zhang Mengmeng didn't seem to be injured, but she was dirty and stained with a lot of blood.
"fine."
Zhang Mengmeng, who looked tired, replied with a smile, and then looked at the clean Tianci with curiosity:
"Senior brother, it seems that things are going well for you there!"
"Well, I didn't go up the mountain!"
Looking at Zhang Mengmeng who looked confused, he thought about it and said seriously:
"Cowardly, afraid of death!"
Sure enough, after being surprised, Zhang Mengmeng covered her mouth with her hands and had an incredible look on her face:
"Ha ha ha ha···"
Tianci helplessly spread his hands.
The middle-aged Taoist priest put away the huge Taoist flag and led everyone outside.
Tianci silently counted everyone. No matter whether they were monks or Taoist priests, they were all in the foundation building stage. Three were seriously injured, two were slightly injured, and half of those in the Qi refining stage were lost.
"You still have to practice hard. Improving your own strength is the most important thing."
The middle-aged Taoist priest and the old monk worked together to re-block the entrance and exit.
Everyone bowed to the two of them and expressed their gratitude.
Looking at the middle-aged Taoist priests and the monks who were respectfully waiting around the great monk, Tianci also roughly guessed the origins of these two powerful men: Qingcheng Mountain, Emei.
Seeing that he came out safely, the middle-aged Taoist priest slowly said to everyone:
"More than two thousand years ago, the First Emperor of Qin unified the world and sent an army to march south. At that time, all the tribes in Lingnan were ruled by the people here. The First Emperor asked the people to surrender to the Qin Dynasty. After being rejected, the war broke out here for several years.
A great war. Both sides suffered heavy losses.
In the end, the two parties reached an agreement, and the outside world was all ruled by the First Emperor; the beings inside gave up their rule over the outside world, and at the same time, the place was completely isolated and no outsiders were allowed to disturb it.
It is really reckless for you to enter rashly now."
Everyone admitted their mistake one after another.
The old monk answered:
"Amitabha! Putting aside the sleeping one in the legend, the strength of the five revealed just now far exceeds ours. After this incident, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse! It's good, it's good."
The middle-aged Taoist priest thought for a while and said:
"From now on, each faction will take turns sending monks to guard this place. Anyone who is discovered to be inside to investigate will be killed. Never let the inside know the actual situation of the human race outside. It's a day that can be delayed. Try to buy as much time as possible."
"yes!"
Elders from various factions agreed one after another.
Soon, the two great monks left with serious faces.
After some discussion among the elders of each sect, everyone returned to the sect except for a few monks who stayed behind to look after him.
After a simple farewell, Tianci went straight to his hometown. The top priority was to find a place to study this sword and then improve his cultivation.
The powerful existences encountered in the Headless Buddha Mountain and the Five Ridges Secret Realm during this period made Tianci infinitely yearn for it, and he dreamed that one day he could do the same.
These powerful existences also herald the possibility of ascending to heaven!
The top priority is to practice well. If we talk about the most ideal place to practice, there is no doubt that it is the Ice Lake.
