Ning Chen's guess was correct, the Jiang family in Jinling was also an ancient family.
There are more than one or two similar ancient aristocratic families in Daxia, but they are not many. Each one has a long heritage and is powerful.
The "powerful" here refers to time. Before the total solar eclipse, they were often hidden in the darkness, and they were entities that quietly controlled huge financial resources and influence, similar to a certain ancient family, secret consortium, etc. in the West...
...
After the total solar eclipse, due to some reasons, the probability of giving birth to warriors in these ancient aristocratic families was far higher than that in other places. In addition, due to long inheritance, many ancient aristocratic families themselves have hundreds of thousands of years of inherited cultivation techniques and magical weapons.
wait.
So the strength becomes stronger than before the total solar eclipse.
Children from such families often have extremely high talents and stand out because they have the support of cultivation resources, coupled with the deep family background and orderly inheritance.
Jiang Yun is like this, and Xu You is like this too.
Back then, Xu You was a popular figure in the school, with outstanding talent, which was not unrelated to the fact that he was born into the Xu family in the north.
This time Xu You returned to the north and cultivated from the first level to the second level in just a few months. "Break and then build" is one reason, and the ancient family's heritage is also the reason.
Shen Yingyuan added: "The place Lin Yin's team is going to this time is Longhu Mountain."
Longhu Mountain?
Ning Chen and Xu You were both surprised.
They were no strangers to this place, having seen it in many ancient books, novels, and movies and TV series.
Longhu Mountain is one of the famous Taoist mountains and one of the 72 blessed places of Taoism. It was once officially awarded the "Taoist Orthodoxy" by the dynasty and was given the name of "Heavenly Master".
The Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain has been a well-known presence in Taoism for the past thousand years.
But the two of them didn't expect that Longhu Mountain would also undergo changes and become some kind of "secret realm".
"Teacher." Ning Chen asked, "What's so special about Longhu Mountain?"
Xu You also looked at Shen Yingyuan.
Shen Yingyuan said: "In fact, Longhu Mountain did not evolve into a 'secret place' during the total solar eclipse, but it has only evolved into a 'secret place' in the past two years."
"More than a year ago, on a night of lightning and thunder, the Longhu Mountain shook and a major earthquake occurred. The Taoist temples in the mountain collapsed, including some other buildings. In addition, terrifying beast roars were heard."
"The local department immediately organized an evacuation after receiving the news. Because there may be terrorist creatures in the mountain, all people had to be evacuated to the foot of the mountain."
"However, time was tight, and before all personnel could evacuate Longhu Mountain, golden lights lit up, and a mysterious formation rose up, like some kind of seal, completely covering Longhu Mountain."
"At the same time, the scene inside became hazy and obscured by mist."
"Before Longhu Mountain was completely covered, someone sitting on the rescue helicopter saw precious lights rising from several places in Longhu Mountain, as well as various strange formations and symbols."
"In addition, there are terrifying creatures with terrifying shapes. While fighting against the light blooming from the array, they attack the people in the mountain who have not yet been able to evacuate..."
"In the end, none of the 135 people who failed to evacuate from the mountain in time were able to escape down the mountain. They should all be dead."
Listening, Ning Chen frowned and asked: "Are they all dead? How did you confirm it? Although no one came down the mountain, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are all dead. Has anyone gone in to investigate?"
Shen Yingyuan explained: "Let's go in. The seal of Longhu Mountain is different from that of the small island in the East China Sea. It does not completely isolate Longhu Mountain. People can still go in and those inside can come out. But there are restrictions. For humans, there are four
Those below level 4 can come and go freely, but those above level 4 cannot. If you force your way in, you will be sealed and attacked."
"The scary creatures are similar. Those below level four can come and go freely."
"In the six months after the sudden change in Longhu Mountain, terrifying creatures below level four came out from time to time, and they were all killed by our masters stationed at the foot of the mountain."
"After half a year, there won't be any scary creatures below level four."
Ning Chen noticed that what Shen Yingyuan said was "no terrifying creatures below the fourth level have come out." Just because they didn't come out, it doesn't mean there aren't any inside. Most of them are afraid of being killed. They know that if they come out, they will die and will be killed by human masters. , so I didn’t dare to come out.
Soon, Shen Yingyuan's words verified this.
After the sudden change in Longhu Mountain, the government sent some people in to investigate the situation inside. As a result, they suffered heavy losses. Several waves of people were sent in, but less than ten came back.
The news I brought back was that there were many scary creatures inside, and the danger came not only from the scary creatures, but also from other dangers.
In short, Longhu Mountain is very dangerous.
Although people below the fourth rank can come and go freely, they must be at least the third rank before they can enter. Going there if you go below the third rank is basically to die.
"If it's so dangerous, then what are Lin Yin and the others going to do?" Xu You frowned, he already understood the danger and trouble of the matter.
"Because there are not only dangers in Longhu Mountain, but also opportunities." Shen Yingyuan said: "Less than ten people entered Longhu Mountain at the beginning and came back alive, but each of them gained a huge amount."
"Someone brought back a rusty bronze mirror, which turned out to be a treasure of the level of a magic weapon; someone picked an orchid, which was full of spiritual energy and radiant light, and it was not ordinary at first sight; and someone else got the treasure of a certain late master. A person’s inheritance, picking up some kind of secret book, and his cultivation has advanced rapidly..."
"Even if we don't mention these, there are many rare and terrifying creatures in Longhu Mountain, each of which is priceless."
In fact, it’s not just Longhu Mountain.
Every secret realm is very mysterious. Danger and opportunity coexist. There are terrifying dangers. Some places have a narrow escape from death, but there are also unimaginable opportunities. When someone enters, he is a low-level third-level warrior, and when he comes out, he becomes a middle-level third-level warrior. This takes less than half a year. ...
"Because of the various opportunities inside, and the fact that many terrifying creatures in Longhu Mountain were killed after they came out, the danger is less, so many people still go in."
"This year, more and more lower-level third-level warriors have entered Longhu Mountain. Many lower-level third-level warriors have traveled thousands of miles to Longhu Mountain, intending to try their luck in case they get a magic weapon or a great inheritance. , then you’re lucky.”
Shen Yingyuan paused and continued: "There are tasks involving Longhu Mountain in the school task department, but the tasks in Longhu Mountain are not open to everyone. If it is an individual, he must have at least a third-grade high-level cultivation. If It’s a team. Since the team members have different levels of cultivation and there are differences, it is required that at least one person in the team has reached the peak of the third level.”
He looked at Ning Chen: "When your cultivation reaches the third level, you will be able to see the tasks related to Longhu Mountain."
"And Lin Yin's team took a mission from Longhu Mountain to find a kind of elixir. But I guess they are not just looking for the elixir, but also looking for opportunities."
"By the way, because of the seal, Longhu Mountain is isolated from the outside world. It is useless to isolate all electronic devices, mobile phones, walkie-talkies, etc."
