Because there was a big mess in the ancient beast forest, the number of guards in the forest was completely insufficient to suppress the beast tide, causing many evil monsters to escape and cannot be recovered. Lishan Cave Mansion naturally had to make some countermeasures, so Lishan Cave Mansion
The guards responsible for guarding the perimeter here came out in full force, and the bearded and powerful man of Miaodu Dzogchen was one of the many guards on duty today. This person was the Seven-feathered Envoy.
Through Tang Ming's memory, he learned that the masters in Huanshan have a very strict distribution of functions. Those in charge, deacons, and those who supervise the functions within the mountain. Everyone plays their own role. Among them, the one with the lowest status is his role in the blood sacrifice.
The naked blood slaves who saw no human rights at the ceremony were the people Mo Ling would capture from outside every sixty years. They were the hostages captured in order to raise evil monsters for the barbarian blood sacrifice. They were called
As a blood slave.
Blood slaves have no human rights in Huanshan or even the entire Moling lineage. They are even inferior to the status of ferocious monsters and spirit beasts. Their main duty is to bleed every day and throw them into the blood river abyss, using their own blood essence to
Stimulating the rise and fall of the blood river abyss and performing blood sacrifices, he would usually be assigned to various places in Moling's territory to do some hard work, including mining, cultivating medicinal materials and other hard work, and his life was worse than that of a dog.
Those with a slightly higher status are those who rely on their own cultivation and some luck to become the guards of various mountains, just like the Tang Ming pretended by Feng Jueyu to be this kind of person.
The cultivation level of such people is probably around the realm of breaking the void of the divine way to the realm of the wonderful crossing of the heavenly way. Their strength varies, but they win because of their loyalty. Every sixty years, Mo Ling needs to cultivate a group of such eagle dogs to help guard the mountains.
portals, such as the ancient beast forest, such as the black-feathered crow at the entrance, etc. They have Mo Ling's slave mark on their bodies, which is the Mo Ling pattern tattoo that Wu Chanyao faked for him on the back of his neck and represents his identity.
A metal waist tag.
These two things are the necessary identification marks for the Moling people to enter and exit Huanshan and other areas. Except for the blood slaves, basically everyone has them.
The ones with a higher status are the seven types of masters. These are called "respected envoys". Just like the people Feng Jueyu met on the Qingyun Gorge Tianlu, their strength is generally higher, but it is not necessary.
After reaching a certain level, in addition to cultivation, Mo Ling values loyalty and merit even more.
The hierarchical arrangement of the seven types of envoys from bottom to top is replaced by "Ling", which is divided into seven feathers to one feather, with one feather being the highest, and then higher up are the venerables, protectors, elders, deacons, etc.
Of course, Feng Jueyu also understands what the word "Ling" means. As "respected envoys", their status is different from that of ordinary guards. They have certain powers. The fewer the number of feathers, the higher their status, so that on their necks
The tattoo pattern is also very different from that of ordinary guards. The difference is that there are several more thorns on the back of the fish head, one is one feather, and seven is seven feathers.
The man with the beard was obviously the leader of the outer guard of Lishan Cave. Feng Jueyu carefully observed the tattoos on this man's neck. He was an envoy of Qiling. After thinking about it, he had no way to get it now, so he might as well confirm his identity.
Then try to find out the whereabouts of Shangguan Ruomeng and the others.
After this thought flashed across his mind, Feng Jueyu pretended to drag a lame leg and walked over, came up behind Beard and said, "Disciple of the Ancient Beast Forest, I am willing to listen to your Majesty's orders."
The bearded man was gathering his team. When he heard Feng Jueyu speak, he subconsciously turned around and looked at Feng Jueyu's clothes up and down. He also stretched his neck and glanced at the tattoo on the back of his neck, and finally looked back.
His eyes stopped on Feng Jueyu's "lame leg".
In fact, Feng Jueyu's leg was not lame, and he was fine. It was just that when he came in, he pretended to be injured in order to snipe the beast wave, which made him a little embarrassed. However, the beard did not take a closer look.
His body was dirty and impersonal, and one of his legs was lame, so he said scornfully: "You are a disciple of the Ancient Beast Forest. Your family's envoys have already been injured and were carried back to Lishan Cave Mansion. How can you be okay?"
Feng Jueyu lowered his head and said, "My lord, it was Xu Zun who ordered his subordinates to come and report the news. The disciple just took a rest and is no longer in serious trouble."
"Hmph, I think you are afraid of being hurt by the beast tide, so you stayed here to avoid the limelight." A bearded monk Mo Ling next to him said with a mocking smile: "I think you heard that there is a seventh-grade
You can get the Blood Lord Essence Pill, so you came here to make up the numbers. You, the Ancient Beast Forest, can't even take care of a few beasts, but you want the cave guards to help you take care of your funeral. You are really capable."
When the others heard Brother Mo Ling's ridicule, they all laughed without mercy, and their words were extremely sharp.
Naturally, Feng Jueyu would not ruin his important affairs because of some quarrels. He lowered his head and said to the man with the beard: "Your Majesty, I have learned from you. I also want to do my best for my master. Please guide me, Your Majesty."
Just hold on to the villain."
The bearded man kept making noises. Hearing this, he also snorted and said: "Looking at you like this, you can't even walk. How can you help when you encounter those monsters? Humph, you are still here."
Just wait for the final decision from above."
Something happened to the Ancient Beast Forest, and Lishan Cave Mansion was naturally to blame. Every place has its own rules, and this matter is obviously not over yet.
After the bearded man finished speaking, he led the people away without any intention of calling Feng Jueyu. Of course, Feng Jueyu would not be stupid enough to follow these people to snipe some monster. He just wanted to ask Xu Zun
The whereabouts of the messenger.
Seeing everyone leaving, Feng Jueyu quickly reached out and grabbed the last person's arm. This person was also the guy who had previously revealed in the chat that "Xu Zunshi" was injured and was carried back to Lishan Cave Mansion. Feng Jueyu grabbed him.
The man said: "Brother, may I ask where Xu Zunshi is?"
The man glanced at him contemptuously and said, "Why do you ask this?"
"Oh, what else can I do? After all, he is my immediate boss, why don't I go and care about him?" Feng Jueyu said.
"I see that someone has carried Xu Zunshi to Jiuchidong. You can go find it yourself."
"Thank you very much."
"Oh, it's such a useless thing." The man complained disdainfully, turned around and left.
Feng Jueyu ignored the sarcastic and humiliating words and turned around to find someone to inquire about Jiuchidong.
After a lot of twists and turns, Feng Jueyu arrived at the Jiuchi Cave in Lishan Cave Mansion. This Jiuchi Cave did not refer to one cave, but nine larger caves. They were the place where Lishan Cave Mansion made elixirs and made medicine.
There are usually a lot of people, and the monks from Lishan Cave always go to Jiuchidong to look for some elixirs for cultivation, or buy them, or secretly collude with the disciples of Jiuchidong. The management seems to be strict, but in fact it is very chaotic.
When Feng Jueyu came over, he had no way of determining where Xu Zunshi was, but he found out as soon as he inquired. After all, hundreds of ferocious demonic beasts had escaped from the ancient beast forest, and the commotion was relatively loud.
As soon as I asked, I found out that Xu Zunshi was recuperating in Zhongsan Cave of Jiuchi Cave.
Feng Jueyu came to Yougu Cave in Zhongsan Cave. After entering from the main entrance, he saw at least dozens of monks coming and going in the cave. Some were injured in cultivation and lived here, and some were seeking elixirs.
The atmosphere in the cave seemed extremely lively. Feng Jueyu glanced at it twice, then walked towards a guard in the middle third cave, blocked the person with his body, and quietly took out a few pieces of good quality from Tang Ming's treasure bag.
Chalcedony was stuffed into the monk's hand.
The monk was stunned for a moment, looked up at him, and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Brother, I want to ask something." Feng Jueyu held his hand and said, "Excuse me, was Xu Zunshi from the Ancient Beast Forest sent here because he was injured? Where is he?"
The monk looked at him and asked: "Xu Zunen of the Ancient Beast Forest? Is he the criminal who caused trouble because of the beast tide? He is here, what do you do?" The monk looked at him warily and asked.
"Ah, I am also a disciple of the Ancient Beast Forest. When the beast tide broke out, I was nearby. Envoy Xu Zun ordered me to come and report the news. Unexpectedly, before I returned, I heard that Envoy Xu was also injured.
I’m recuperating here, I just want to see Xu Zunshi’s injury.” Feng Jueyu said in a very low manner.
"So that's it." The monk skillfully put the chalcedony into his arms and whispered: "Your ancient beast forest is also real. There is such a big barrier outside the forest, and you can even show the ferocious monsters.
If you lose it, Your Majesty is angry and is planning to punish Mr. Xu. You are making trouble..."
"Oh, actually, I really don't blame Xu Zunshi for this. I don't know how it happened. Today's ferocious monsters are very violent. Who knew there would be a sudden wave of beasts." Feng Jueyu felt that this guy was a bit rude, but
He had no choice but to follow what the other party said.
Because he had received Feng Jueyu's benefits, the man's tone gave him a lot of face, and he sighed: "Alas, there are not many people as caring as you. I heard that after Xu Zunshi was injured, how many of his
Many of his men are dead, some are crippled, and a few of them are lucky enough not to be injured. They are all starting to find other ways to escape punishment. You are the only one who still knows how to come and see him. You are serious."
"Although Your Majesty, Your Majesty, is usually a bit harsh on everyone, he is still a good person. I have received favors from Your Majesty, how can I ignore it? Although I don't have much ability, I can do my best, which is considered to be a good thing.
His Holiness did not take care of the next one."
"Well, you are a good person. Xu Zunshi is resting in the third cave on the left. You should go and have a look. However, Xu Zunshi's injury seems to be very serious. I don't know if he can recover. You
Don't disturb him."
"Thank you, brother." Feng Jueyu felt happy after hearing this, and walked to the cave on the left. Then he quickly found the location of Xu Zunshi according to the signs on the outer wall of the cave. There was a black cloth hanging outside the cave.
