Chapter 685: Five Immortal Realms, Three Mountains and Four Seas
…
Han Bacheng was stunned for a moment, "Isn't it over yet?"
Xu Junming nodded and turned his eyes.
"Do you still remember any strange things you encountered before you fell into coma?"
Xiao Liuzi, who had just woken up, had a thoughtful look on his face.
After a moment, his expression changed.
"I remembered. We were passing by Yundu Mountain that day, and it suddenly rained heavily. As a last resort, we stayed in a dilapidated mountain temple on the mountain. At night, it was Fatty Li and I's turn to stay on duty."
"It was calm at first, but in the middle of the night, a strange gust of wind suddenly blew up in the yard. It not only frightened the horses, but also blew down the oilcloth covering the car."
"Fat Li went to pack the carriage, and I went to see the horses. As soon as I walked outside the temple gate, I saw a wolf-like beast about half a man tall, ready to eat our horses."
"In a moment of urgency, I hit it with a mandarin duck dart."
"It turned out that this beast was very fast. He could dodge by twisting his body, and his eyes were fierce, like a spirit."
"The dark green eyes made people feel chilled in their hearts. I was worried that I was no match for this beast, so I wanted to call my brother and we to get up and kill it together."
"But before I could say anything, the beast seemed to be frightened. He suddenly ran into the dense forest and disappeared in a flash."
"But before leaving, he spit out green light at me."
"The green light was faster than electricity, and I couldn't avoid it at all. I only felt my heart hurt afterward, and I fainted."
"The next time I wake up is now."
The words fell and turned around.
"Brother, are the brothers okay?"
"It's okay, everyone is fine. You're the only one who's been unconscious."
"That's good."
After heaving a sigh of relief, he cupped his fist towards Xu Junming and said with a grateful expression: "Han Yunzhi thanks Taoist Master for saving his life."
After a slight nod, he said, "It's easy to do, no need to be polite."
"Sixth brother, you have just woken up and your body is weak. Please stay here and have a good rest."
"Thank you, big brother."
"One family does not speak two different languages."
After appeasing Han Yunzhi, the two got out of the car. Han Bacheng took out thirty taels of silver and respectfully presented it to Xu Junming.
"Thank you so much, Taoist Master, for saving my sixth brother's life. A small token of thanks is not disrespectful. I hope the Taoist Master will accept it."
Xu Junming is never polite about what he deserves.
He patted the gourd on his waist and collected the silver.
"Master Han, let me tell you the truth. What made your sixth brother unconscious was not a spirit, but a demon!"
"Demon?"
Han Bacheng was shocked.
Spirits and monsters are different. The former are just old age, or by chance, they swallowed some elixir and developed spiritual wisdom. They act entirely based on instinct. Although they are more troublesome than ordinary animals, warriors can still kill them.
But the demon is different. Not only can it control the wind and create mist, but it also has weird magic accompanying it. Unless it is the monks who see the dragon but never see its tail, it will be difficult for anyone to deal with it.
Xu Junming nodded affirmatively and said: "It is still the most vindictive wolf demon. Although I don't know why it didn't eat you that day, but seeing that the demonic energy still exists in your body, I know that it is not dead."
"Taoist Master, help!"
Han Bacheng said quickly.
He is not a fool.
Monsters, even the lowest level monsters, can easily swallow dozens of mouthfuls of his Golden Tiger Escort Agency.
"Get up... we are destined to meet each other, so I will help you."
As long as he is not a villain, Xu Junming will not hesitate to help.
"Thank you so much, Taoist Master, thank you so much, Taoist Master... I just don't know when this wolf demon will attack?"
"Three days later." Xu Junming counted with his fingers and said.
"Three days?"
After nodding thoughtfully, he turned around and said, "Old Qi, hurry up and pack a carriage for the Taoist priest."
"Yes, Chief Bodyguard."
"Please also ask the Taoist priest to accompany us. We will get rid of the wolf demon in three days. Han will be very grateful."
"Easy to say."
When Xu Junming came here for the first time, he came here just to inquire about the news. He didn't have any big goals for the time being, so he just used the matter of exterminating demons to stay in the escort team for the time being.
Escorts travel extensively and have extensive knowledge, so they are one of the most suitable channels for seeking information.
Although they don't know much about the spiritual world, they have a very thorough understanding of the secular world.
Although the three days were short, Xu Junming had a deeper understanding of this world.
Overall.
This is an era similar to the coexistence of the Northern Song Dynasty, Liao Kingdom, Jin Kingdom, Xixia and Dali in Chinese history.
But here, Dali became Nanzhao.
However, many famous ministers and generals are similar to the Northern Song Dynasty in Chinese history.
For example, the current emperor of the Song Dynasty was the famous Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji.
Zuo Pushe was also the servant of the sect, also known as the "right prime minister", and the "grand master" Cai Jing, the leader of the six thieves, and so on.
But the difference is that in Chinese history, the 'Jin' replaced the 'Liao', and here the Jin and Liao coexisted.
Jin Taizu ‘Wanyan Aguda’ and Liao Taizu ‘Yelu Abaoji’ were both demon clans and the founders of the Qing Emperor Immortal Domain and the Black Emperor Immortal Domain.
Before that, the entire Chixian Shenzhou was under the rule of Huangdi Xianting.
The first Heavenly Emperor of the Yellow Emperor's Immortal Court was none other than the Yellow Emperor Ji Xuanyuan who ascended from the lower world.
After Ji Xuanyuan ascended to heaven, the second emperor of the Yellow Emperor's Immortal Court was named 'Taihao', also known as God Taihao.
After Taihao ascended to heaven, the third emperor was named Shaohao, and the fourth emperor was Si Wenming, also known as Dayu.
After Yu the Great, there were disputes among the heroes, and no one had the absolute strength to rule the world.
Therefore, a situation emerged where the five immortal realms, three mountains and four seas coexisted.
It has lasted for nearly ten thousand years.
As for the mortal dynasties, they were all ruled by human emperors from the beginning, and there was no so-called heaven at all.
It was not until Dayu established the Xia Dynasty that the distinction between immortals and mortals was established.
What’s even more strange is that after the collapse of Xia, it was directly followed by Song, Liao, and Jin, without any transitions like Qin and Han.
Xu Junming couldn't figure out the history that had changed beyond recognition, so he simply didn't waste any energy.
In addition to history, geography is also very different from what he knew.
Chixian Shenzhou is a vast land that is longer from east to west and shorter from north to south, stretching for 150 million miles.
It is surrounded by endless sea water.
Different from the Shushan world, this is a real place with a round sky.
Chi County, the center of Shenzhou, an essential area of nearly 60 million miles, was ruled by the Song Dynasty, and was also the area under the jurisdiction of the Yellow Emperor's Immortal Domain.
In the vast dense forests of the barren mountains and rivers in the south, there lived the witch tribe who drank blood and had natural fighting power.
In the high mountains and deserts of the west, although they are all humans, they believe in Buddhism, which is where Xixia is located.
Directly in the north, on the vast prairie, humans and demons are mixed and ruled by the Liao Kingdom, but the demon clan is stronger.
The East, to be precise, the Northeast, is the Kingdom of Jin dominated by demons, and is ruled by the Qing Emperor of the East.
As for the three mountains and four seas, Han Bacheng had never heard of these big forces in the cultivation world.
However, it is understandable that his Golden Tiger Escort only moves around Dongchuan Mansion and rarely goes outside, so the information is not well-informed.
Of course, don't think that Dongchuan Mansion is very small. In fact, its area is as large as the entire Asia that Xu Junming knew in his previous life.
As for the ‘county’ above, one is equivalent to the surface area of three or four earths.
Above the county, there is a bigger 'road'.
All the way there is nearly a hundred Earths' surface area.
There are twenty-three roads in the Song Dynasty!
You can imagine the vastness of her country.
As for the population, although there are gods, Buddhas and demons, they have not had much positive impact on the mortal world.
The whole thing is no different from the Chinese Tang and Song Dynasties.
Like Chongshan Academy, the life expectancy and population explosion brought about by the popularization of spiritual practice do not exist.
Therefore, although the Song Dynasty was vast, nearly ten thousand times larger than the Song Dynasty in Xu Junming's memory, its population was only a few hundred billion.
Don't think there are many. The same area, replaced by modern industrial civilization, can easily support dozens of times more people.
With the model of Chongshan Academy, there will only be more.
Back to business.
Three days later, the escort team walked out of the mountainous area and entered the open plains.
We stayed temporarily in a small town called Dongpenqu.
The sky is dark, and the tired birds return to their nests.
Except for a few lanterns swaying in the wind, which could still shed some hazy light, the entire inn was plunged into darkness.
In the upper bedroom of the inn, Han Bacheng and Han Yunzhi were sitting on stools nearby, looking restless.
Looking at the slightly open window, Han Yunzhi, who had recovered a lot, glanced at it from time to time, with a hint of fear uncontrollably in his eyes.
Afterward, when I thought back to the scene where I met the wolf demon seven days ago, I still felt frightened and secretly rejoiced that I was lucky.
"Brother...?"
After patting his hand and indicating that he should be calm, Han Bacheng stood up, walked quietly to the bed, looked at the green-robed Taoist who was sitting cross-legged on it, meditating with his eyes closed, and said respectfully.
"Taoist Master Chongshan, will the wolf demon really come tonight?"
Slowly opening his eyes, a faint light reflected in his deep eyes.
"It's already here."
Han Bacheng's body trembled and his face looked horrified. He was about to say something when suddenly there was a loud wind outside the inn.
‘Wow!’, the violent wind blew all the windows open in an instant.
Several oil lamps in the room were blown out by the wind and fell to the ground.
The paintings and other furnishings hanging on the walls were all staggered and chaotic.
Accompanied by the wind sound like howling ghosts and wolves, a black shadow rushed in like lightning.
In an instant, the sound of the wind died down.
Through the moonlight, the two Han brothers could vaguely see a middle-aged man wearing a large green cloak, a high crown on his head, and a thin face, standing in the center of the room.
But what's frightening is that his eyes actually emit a dark green light, and his pair of vertical pupils don't look like a human at all, but more like a beast.
But in these beast eyes, there is a radiance of humanity, but with a hint of cruelty.
"I asked why the 'Ghost Wolf Technique' didn't work. It turned out that I encountered a nosy Taoist priest."
Meeting the other party's eyes, Xu Junming smiled faintly.
"I'm very surprised that a heavenly wolf at the level of a soul would actually come to the Song Dynasty from the grassland? And judging from the injuries in your body, there is still demonic energy left. It is obviously caused by a very powerful demon master."
"I'm afraid, this is also the reason why you don't even dare to kill a person with a talent for martial arts, so you just run away with your tail between your legs, right?"
