Su Anran and Song Jue didn't pay attention to other questions, and they both headed straight towards Junwu Mountain.
Except for the necessary rest at night, the two of them did not make any stops at other times. Even if they passed some shrines and Zhuangzi, they would not enter if they could not; if they had no choice but to enter, they would find an excuse in advance.
, try to avoid interacting with other witchers.
After ten days of this, the two finally arrived at Junwu Mountain.
Su Anran has never been to other mountain ranges in the demon world and doesn't know what other mountains are like.
But here at Junwu Mountain, there is a stone step leading directly to the top of the mountain, and judging from the cleanliness of this stone step, it is obvious that it is regularly maintained and cleaned.
But at this time, Junwu Mountain seemed unusually quiet, so quiet that it felt quite strange.
Su Anran and Song Jue looked at each other, somewhat understanding in their hearts.
"Since someone is here to greet us, why should we avoid seeing him?" Su Anran exhaled and shouted, rolling like waves, and finally turned into a thunderous vibration, completely breaking the tranquility that General Wushan had deliberately created.
"Good trick." A middle-aged man holding a long-handled battle ax in one hand suddenly walked down the mountain stairs.
The two sides are obviously only a hundred meters apart. Logically speaking, Su Anran and Song Jue can find this position as long as they raise their heads. However, the two of them did not see each other just now. This made Su Anran and Song Jue feel nervous.
Be aware of the other person's tactics.
field.
Only the realm can allow Su Anran and Song Jue to turn a blind eye to the people in front of them.
"Mountain axe?"
"Yes." The middle-aged man holding the giant ax was not only barefoot, but also his upper body. You could clearly see his strong muscles. His lower body was wearing a pair of brown linen trousers, but the trousers were turned up and looked a bit tattered.
Rotten.
But neither Su Anran nor Song Jue dared to underestimate this man who looked like he was too poor to buy clothes.
Just because his strength is already among the group of people who stand at the top of the world.
"How did you discover my 'immovable domain'?"
"It's too quiet." Su Anran didn't know what to say and said honestly.
He could show off to Zhang Hai, Zhang Yang and others, but he didn't dare to show off in front of this middle-aged man. Although if he really wanted to kill the other party, he would have a way, but he would have to use
One of his two trump cards, Su Anran didn't want to expose his true strength so early when he didn't need to use his trump cards yet.
"My name is Zhao Gang." Shan Hu nodded and introduced himself, "One of the inheritors of Junwu Mountain."
The six major inheritances of Junwushan are mainly bow, spear, boxing, axe, dagger, and knife, supplemented by six core concepts: as fast as the wind, as fast as the forest, as aggressive as fire, as immovable as a mountain, as difficult to know as yin, and as moving as thunder.
, supporting half of the world for the struggling human race in the demon world.
The other half is supported by the inheritance of Jiutou Mountain.
As one of the three major inheritance holy places, Kogenyama Grand Shrine actually does not openly recruit disciples. No one knows how it operates specifically.
The only thing people know is that if they want to set up a new gathering place in the world of monsters, they must go to the Plateau Mountain Shrine to ask for a foot of monster-killing rope, so as to set up a monster-purifying area and a monster-suppressing stone. Only in this way can a gathering place be guaranteed to be free from monsters.
Invaded by demons.
But after experiencing the massacre of shepherds at Tianyuan Shrine, Su Anran already knew that this was just a cover.
The demon-purifying area is indeed effective, but this effect is not as powerful as imagined. It can only be used to block ordinary big demons. If the incoming enemy is at the level of twenty-four strings, then it can only It has a certain weakening effect.
Su Anran even guessed that if the twelve-marked demon were to attack, it might not even have a weakening effect.
"Where's Granny Zhang?" Su Anran asked.
There are four Jinchuuriki in Junwu Mountain, namely Lin Qiang, Fire Fist, Mountain Axe, and Yin Dagger. Today's Thunder Sword is still growing, and Feng Gong has never found a suitable successor. However, due to the cooperation with Jiutou Mountain, When Jiutun set up an ambush, Junwushan sent Lin Qiang and Huoquan, so now the only ones left behind in Junwushan are Shanxi Zhao Gang, who is known for his defense, and Granny Yindezhang.
"Are all young people today so cautious?"
A slight cough and a slightly older voice sounded from behind Su Anran.
Song Jue was obviously startled, and he almost got into a fighting stance - if Su Anran hadn't stopped him, Song Jue would not have been able to calm down so quickly.
The moment he saw Zhao Gang, Su Anran already knew that Jun Wushan's attack on him could not be that simple.
Although he didn't know what the specific abilities of these two people were, he could guess from the literal meaning that since the core concept of Yin Dagger is "difficult to know as Yin" and it is a weapon with a short blade, it is not difficult to guess what the other person is really good at. What is the ability of .
It is precisely because of this that even if Granny Zhang's voice sounded less than three meters behind her, Su Anran was still as steady as an old dog.
"I know Granny Zhang's name, so I can't be too cautious." Su Anran turned back and looked at Granny Zhang.
This is an old woman with silver hair. There are obvious age spots on her face and hands. She should be about seventy years old, but she is only slightly hunched. Other than that, she looks quite energetic - this Just a little bit made Su Anran feel a little incredible in her heart.
He knew very well how the demon world treated these old people.
He and Song Jue had been traveling along the road for more than half a month and did not see even an old man in any gathering place.
Usually the oldest ones, that is, those in their forties, have very weak Qi and blood. And these people probably know their next fate, so there is no color on their faces, and some are just interested. The numbness of life, the calmness of death, and the reluctance to leave my family.
But the Granny Zhang in front of her has eyes that are not cloudy, and she has a look and energy that is no less than that of a young person. If it weren't for the fact that the flow of Qi and blood in her body was too weak, her vitality would be like a candle in the wind. If all the lights were extinguished, Su Anran would think that the other party was a young girl in disguise.
Su Anran glanced at Zhao Gang and Granny Zhang, with a smile on her face.
Even though Zhao Gang and Granny Zhang seemed to be standing quite casually, their attacking postures in tandem did not have the slightest intention to hide anything. Su Anran knew that if he and Song Jue's next answers failed to convince the two of them, If they are satisfied, I'm afraid these two people will rise up and kill them here.
It is precisely because of this that Su Anran smiles.
A genuine smile.
"My sister and I came here to ask for something."
"What's the matter?" Zhao Gang asked.
"My sister needs to borrow your inherited knowledge on swordsmanship." Su Anran said, "Only the basic and advanced parts are needed. We don't need the related parts of the thunder knife."
"This is the inheritance of our Junwu Mountain. If you want to learn, you only need to join our Junwu Mountain and pass the five-year assessment..."
"We don't have that much time." Su Anran shook his head.
"Then let's not talk about it." Zhao Gang's attitude was quite tough.
"You know what." Su Anran shook her head, "If all four pillars of Junwu Mountain are here, I might think of other ways, but if there are only you and Granny Zhang, I can actually kill you, and then
Swaggering up the mountain."
Zhao Gang's face darkened, and the energy and blood in his body began to surge.
Behind Su Anran and Song Jue, Granny Zhang's aura began to become vague and uncertain.
"Grandma Zhang, you'd better not really let your breath disappear, otherwise we will really have no choice but to take action." Su Anran said without looking back. His eyes were always locked on Zhao Gang, but he didn't
People noticed that Su Anran already had a talisman on his right hand.
That was the last sword immortal order left by Tang Shiyun to Su Anran.
It was this Sword Immortal Order that allowed Su Anran to dare to ignore Zhao Gang, a strong man who was almost at the Soul Condensing Realm Suppression Stage.
This is one of Su Anran's two trump cards.
"Today's young people are not only cautious, but also a little ignorant." Granny Zhang's voice sounded sinister.
"I didn't take action as soon as I saw you, partly because I admire you." Su Anran said lightly, "Because I know that if I kill you, the balance between humans and demons will be broken.
By then, the human race may no longer be able to survive... After all, I am a member of the human race, so naturally I don't want to see such a result."
Neither Zhao Gang nor Granny Zhang spoke, but they did not relax and still looked directly at Su Anran with vigilance.
"Alas." After a moment of confrontation, Su Anran sighed softly, "I want to see the Great Witch Festival, let's... let's negotiate a deal."
"What deal?"
"You will be interested in the transaction." Su Anran said softly, "For example... I can give you some information about the twelve lines and twenty-four strings of the big demon. If you use it well, you can implement decapitation tactics.
, a large number of monsters were eliminated in an instant, creating more living space for the human race."
After hearing Su Anran's words, Zhao Gang's eyes obviously fluctuated.
Even Grandma Zhang, even if she didn't see her expression, could tell from the traces of her breath fluctuations that she was also moved.
"How can I believe that what you say is true?"
"Just because we can kill the shepherd, isn't it enough?"
"Not enough." Zhao Gang shook his head, "Cheng Zhong may not be able to tell, but from his description, I understand that you used some tricky methods. If the person present at the time was Fire Fist, the shepherd would have been dead long ago, no matter what
No matter how many soul-eating dogs he can create, he will never be a match for Fire Fist."
"Look, haven't you already acknowledged our capabilities?"
"When did I..."
"Tricks." Su Anran smiled, and then directly interrupted Zhao Gang, "In your opinion, we are not capable of killing the shepherd, but we did kill the shepherd, which is enough to prove
We have some of the big monster's weaknesses, don't we?"
Zhao Gang fell silent.
He obviously did not expect that the words he said would be used as a flaw by the other party.
But he didn't want to deny that he was indeed more inclined to the view that Su Anran had control over the weakness of the big demon.
"Let the Great Witch Festival come out and talk." Su Anran said lightly, "You can't be the master."
"Why can't I be the master?" Zhao Gang was unconvinced, "Although our Six Pillars of Junwu Mountain are not subordinate to each other, and all things are discussed by us, but the others are not here at the moment, only Granny Zhang and I are here, then I say
You can also make the decision."
"Because you are all samurai." Su Anran glanced at Zhao Gang, and her expression became calm, "You who are from the samurai family, you must have someone who believes in it... The Great Witch Festival at the Plateau Mountain Grand Shrine is a very good one.
choose."
Su Anran doesn't know much about Japanese history.
But generally speaking, he still knew the difference between the public family and the samurai family. The Edo period was the peak period of the samurai family. After that, with the beginning of the Meiji Restoration's "respecting the king and rejecting the barbarians", the samurai family declined rapidly, and even the public family became
mascot.
However, he only had a partial understanding of this part of history, so he didn't feel like he was speaking too harshly.
After all, he didn't know which class the Japanese who traveled to the world of monsters belonged to - after the Restoration, all lower-level samurai were liquidated, and with the introduction of the Sword Abolition Order, no one dared to fight again.
He calls himself a samurai. However, the demon world still retains the system of the samurai family, as well as the original shrine system of priests and witches. This makes Su Anran a little confused, unable to determine which side the senior time traveler supports, and which side he supports.
Which era is used as the reference background?
But no matter what, the Wu family must have a master they believe in. This is definitely true.
As expected.
After hearing Su Anran's words, the expressions of Zhao Gang and Granny Zhang changed instantly.
No one knows better than them, who are the inheritors of Gunmushan, what the relationship between Gunmushan and Kogenyama Grand Shrine is.
Since the "Rebellion in the Kingdom of Gods", the Kogenyama Grand Shrine has begun to downplay the influence of its inherited holy land, and transferred this part of its influence to Junwu Mountain, making Junwu Mountain gradually become the dominant one in the competition for the title of the three holy places.
, even surpassing the Jiutoushan inheritance.
In the eyes of outsiders, those who come from the Junwu Mountain Heritage Holy Land are the most majestic, influential and powerful.
But all this is only in the eyes of outsiders.
The reason why Mount Plateau Shrine is not afraid of being a samurai warrior is that the inheritance of the six sacred weapons of Mount Mount must be approved by the Great Shaman Festival at Mount Plateau. Otherwise, they will not be able to completely control the power within them.
On the contrary, he will die young due to excessive use of divine weapons - even a jinchuriki cannot withstand the consumption of using divine weapons.
Therefore, Junwushan can only serve as the bodyguard of the Kogenyama Grand Shrine.
If it were another world, I'm afraid Jun Wushan would have already started thinking about countermeasures.
But people in the demon world don't think so.
The hardship of life has allowed them to develop many valuable qualities, among which unity and loyalty are their greatest merits. Therefore, Junwushan has always had no objection to obeying the orders of the Plateau Mountain Grand Shrine.
- Even if they teamed up to kill Shutun before, the attempt to stop Su Anran and Song Jue this time was a direct order from the Plateau Mountain Grand Shrine.
Of course, the Grand Shaman Festival of Mount Plateau Shrine is also a human race born in the world of demons. Naturally, they have not developed the desire for power that they have in other worlds, so they have never had any intention of intervening in all the affairs of Mount Gunmushan.
This is also the reason why Zhao just said that "all affairs in Junwu Mountain are resolved through consultation with their six pillars."
However, these are the secrets between the Jinchuuriki of Junwu Mountain and the Great Shaman Festival of Mount Plateau Shrine. It is impossible for outsiders to know. So when they heard Su Anran's words, the expressions of Zhao Gang and Granny Zhang changed drastically.
"you……"
"Okay." Just when Zhao Gang was about to speak, a cold female voice with a hint of hoarseness suddenly sounded, "Although I don't know why Sir Su needs to borrow those skills, it seems that Sir Su
There is no need to doubt the envoy’s identity.”
Envoy?
Su Anran raised her eyebrows.
This statement is very interesting.
In the island country, only families from traditional martial arts families will call the envoys of the public family the superior envoys. This term was later extended to many other related fields: for example, the side branches of the family branch treated the guests of the main family, and the subordinates
Shrine to upper level shrine and so on.
Although it became a self-effacing statement in later generations, in the current environment, this is obviously the world of monsters with "Edo-Meiji" as the reference background, so this is not a self-effacing statement.
, but a respectful way of putting one's status below Su Anran's.
"I'm not an envoy." Su Anran shook his head.
He had no intention of taking advantage of this.
The current situation in the demon world is obviously a mess. If he takes advantage of this, it will be equivalent to inheriting this part of the cause and effect. If Su Anran had some ideas before this, then now he just wants to leave this world as soon as possible to avoid being involved.
As for Su Anran, who is in the huge whirlpool that has gradually formed in the demon world, he does not want to take advantage of this at all, otherwise he would not propose a "deal".
"Fujigen-onna?"
"Yes." A girl with long, silky hair, wearing a large red and white miko costume, and a garland of flowers and plants on her head suddenly appeared behind Zhao Gang, "I am from the Plateau Mountain Grand Shrine.
Great Witch Festival, Fujigenna."
Su Anran glanced at Zhao Gang, then turned to look at Granny Zhang.
The moment Teng Yuan Nu appeared, Zhao Gang's position was slightly adjusted: although the movements were not particularly obvious, his adjusted position could ensure that if Su Anran wanted to take action against Teng Yuan Nu, then he would
You can definitely make a life-saving tackle in the first place.
Similarly, Granny Zhang also focused all her attention on Su Anran the moment Teng Yuan Nu appeared.
So much so that Su Anran began to feel numbness in her scalp and tingling all over her body.
"Don't worry, I don't have any ill intentions towards her." Su Anran glanced disdainfully, "If I really want to kill her, even if you can stop her, it's just a risk of your own life. There's nothing wrong with it.
significance."
With the power of the Sword Immortal Token, Su Anran felt that if he threw this talisman, he might be able to punch a hole through the entire Junwu Mountain.
"Huh." Zhao Gang snorted coldly, his face still stern.
"Let's talk about a deal." Su Anran smiled, "I'll tell you the information I know about the Twelve Lines and Twenty-Four Strings Great Demon, and you let my sister freely browse all the martial arts in Junwu Mountain.
Inherited books. We will not copy them, we will only watch them here. You can also arrange for someone to supervise them."
"How can we confirm that the information you said is true?"
"To show my sincerity, I will tell you a method to deal with Jiutun. After you prove it is effective, we will talk about other things." Su Anran shrugged.
"Okay." After thinking for a moment, Fujiyuan Girl nodded, "However, I think your purpose should be more than that."
"Of course." Su Anran laughed, "But my other purpose is not convenient for too many people to know."
"They are not outsiders." Fujigena said.
"I didn't mean outsiders, but... too many people." Su Anran smiled again, "Believe me, there is no benefit in letting them know... But regarding my second purpose, I will give it after you verify it.
After the information about Shuton is true or false, let’s discuss it again.”
Staring into Su Anran's eyes, until she was sure that the other party was not joking, Fujiyuan finally nodded and said, "Yes."
