Chapter 183 Shocking Layout
Above the vast East China Sea, a bone flying boat cut through the clouds, scattering groups of oncoming seabirds.
Even though five days have passed, everyone on the boat still has lingering fears about the previous experience. Every time they think about it, they can't help but secretly sigh at their fate. The messenger's strategizing has led them to accurately find the defensive gap in the right path and break out from the Qingzhou coastline in one fell swoop.
Of course, in fact, Lin Shan did not predict the enemy at all, but someone revealed the news to him.
That night, the three great Yuan Ying stage elders of the Zixiao Sect came together. Ma Jian Sheng rushed towards the "Nine Heavens Thunder Waterfall" without hesitation, buying time for everyone, and at the same time unlocking everyone's seals and shackles, and a battle royale began. .
All the demonic monks were overjoyed after recovering their cultivation and fled in all directions in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, the righteous monks also recovered their cultivation, and this time the Zixiao Sect also brought a group of reinforcements, all of whom surrounded them.
Yin Wuming of the Blood River Palace is worthy of being a new star of the Demonic Path. He can stand up to several righteous Jindan practitioners with his own strength. The "Joint Law Enforcement Detective Team of the Three Demonic Sects" under him is also an elite, attracting most of the attention of the righteous pursuers.
Lin Shan and his party took the opportunity to break out in the dark night. Everything was in chaos like a busy city. Countless magic weapons were flying in all directions. A group of young men surrounded him tightly and killed them. Fortunately, with the help of the Black Skeleton Demon Lord, they were safe.
However, as he was leaving the siege, a message appeared in his ears.
It turned out to be "Pei Zhenren" from Yushou Valley. He was grateful for Lin Shan's care in the past two days and reciprocated the favor. He secretly pointed out a clear path for him. Although he did not explicitly say which coastline guarded the void, Lin Shan's understanding was still able to Guess the location.
I have to say that this old man, Mr. Pei, is really good at dealing with people. He will repay a favor without leaving any overnight. Moreover, Linshan is just a demon foundation, and letting him go will not affect the overall situation.
Later, the group of them went around in circles, stopping and running, evading encirclement and pursuit, and finally managed to escape from the mainland and enter the East China Sea.
The East China Sea is still under the control of the Demonic Camp. The righteous coalition forces are recovering the lost territory in the eastern part of the inland, and at the same time chasing and intercepting the defeated troops from all directions. Presumably, the East China Sea will be safe for the time being until the inland is completely digested.
However, when I think about the current situation, I am afraid that anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
The East China Sea may not be able to be defended either.
It was a matter of time.
The Demonic Path suffered heavy losses in this battle. The loss of territory in the eastern part of the Song Dynasty was equivalent to the disintegration of the "inland family and sect alliance" in our own camp. Coupled with the battle losses of the direct troops of the East China Sea monks and the three Demonic sects, it can be said that it was a complete loss. Destroyed.
There is no longer any capital to compete with the righteous camp.
While Lin Shan was worried about the future, he was also worried about the safety of "Ma Jian Sheng". He didn't know whether he was alive or dead now.
That night, three Nascent Soul stages besieged him alone, which was extremely dangerous. Even the original "Guardian Dharma King" was unable to defeat him, so he had to summon the "Lotus Skirt Woman", the so-called phantom of the Lord, to come.
And as a swordsman, can he survive it?
"Oh, I almost thought I was going to become a disciple of Yuanying Stage, but I just became a disciple."
Lin Shan looked desolate, and seemed to be beginning to doubt himself. Was he really "poisonous"? Disaster physique?
When he was in the Lin family in Qinghe County, Lin Fan and the owner of the pawn shop took the blame for him. Later, when he was traveling in the rivers and lakes, the escort team was directly robbed, and Master Pu also suffered along with him, and his final whereabouts were unknown; and later he left the imperial capital. During the Yichuan period, not only his companion Huang Xianshi died, but also the six members of the entire team, including the "girl in a hat" who was killed by him in the Gongsun family, all died except himself; after the battle between good and evil, he finally got close to the leader of the Black Lotus Sect. Teach real people, but the thigh is gone.
Lin Shan couldn't help but glanced at the group of people around him with a guilty conscience. When he set off from the East China Sea, he had hundreds of people, and it was very lively. Now they fled back to the East China Sea in embarrassment, with only about twenty people left. How could one of them be so miserable? Excellent words.
Phew~~~ It’s a good thing they don’t know my own experience, otherwise they might have abandoned me.
The Black Skull Demon Lord next to him saw that he was restless and thought that he was still worried about the Horse Sword Master, so he comforted him for the first time.
"If you think about it, you, the new and cheap master, may not have that simple background, and it shouldn't be that easy for you to fall."
"Oh?"
Lin Shan suddenly came back to his senses and looked at the Black Skeleton Demon Lord beside him. Judging from the swaying state of his soul fire, it didn't seem like he just said it casually.
"Who are you to judge?"
"There is no specific basis, but some of his characteristics remind me of some long-standing legends"
Lin Shan couldn't help but become curious. He knew that the Black Skeleton Demon Lord had traveled to many worlds. His rich experience was unmatched by anyone, and he knew a thing or two about many ancient secrets.
"Have you ever heard of the word sword repair?" The Black Skeleton Demon Lord turned his head and stared at him.
"Sword cultivator?" Lin Shan answered with some uncertainty according to his own understanding:
"What you are talking about is that the magic weapon of your life is a sword. It is kept warm and maintained in the Dantian at all times. It is taken out when flying or facing the enemy. There is nothing else outside the body, and the sword is dedicated to cultivating it."< br>
"No! What you are saying is that he is not a sword cultivator, but just wearing the skin of a sword cultivator. In fact, he is still an immortal cultivator under the immortal civilization system."
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord looked at the horizon in the distance. Groups of seagulls were swarming in groups, and clusters of fish were jumping and tumbling. His thoughts dispersed for a moment, and his tone became far-away.
"The real sword cultivators were the protagonists of the world a few epochs ago. They understood the way of the sword, tempered their sword heart, sublimated their sword intention, condensed their sword power, and built their own sword domain. What they cultivated in their bodies was the sword. Yuan is a completely different cultivation system from ours.”
"I once traveled to an extremely ancient world. There was a ruin left over from a previous era. There were vague records about previous eras, which impressed me deeply."
"It is said that in the void of the universe, there is an era of chaos that lasts 129.6 million years. Each era of chaos has its own cultivation system. For example, the last era was the civilization of warlocks and shamans, and the previous era was Blood Path Asura Civilization, and beyond that there are Confucianism, Swordsmanship, Witchcraft, Martial Arts Civilization, etc.”
"And our era is the Immortal Civilization. With the influence left over from some previous eras, the shadows of some ancient eras occasionally reappear in the Immortal Civilization, but they are all covered with an outer skin. In fact, they are still cultivators of immortality at their core."< br>
"As you know now, the so-called Confucian skills, blood skills, physical skills, voodoo curses, etc. in the world of cultivation are all heresy derived from being assimilated by the immortal civilization."
"Look at the current mortal warriors, can they only reach the highest level of cultivation to the innate state? If they go up, they will have no way forward. That is because the protagonist of this era is the immortal civilization, and warriors are destined not to rise unless Change your appearance and cultivate immortality, otherwise you will have to return to dust and return to dust after a hundred years."
"The general trend of the era is appointed by the law of heaven and dictated by luck. Each era is repeated."
……
After hearing this, Lin Shan suddenly realized. At the same time, he was envious of the experience of the Black Skeleton Demon Lord. He even knew this kind of secret. He knew more than some living fossil antiques. What else didn't he know?
It seems that I need to squeeze this guy hard in the future and let him shake out everything in his head
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord also noticed that Lin Shan seemed to be much less dependent on him since he had the innate spirit treasure. Even the level of the spirit's formation was higher than his own, making him increasingly dispensable, so he quickly Ideas seek to demonstrate their value.
The two of them each have their own secrets, and neither wants to leave the other for the time being, and they secretly compete with each other in a battle of wits and courage.
At this time, Lin Shan asked another question: "Then what do you mean by real swordsmanship just now?"
"That's right, it's your cheap master. He already has the rudiments of sword cultivation in him!"
The Black Skull Demon Lord spared no effort to explain to him: "That night, he not only showed the clear heart of the sword, but also the realm of the sword's soaring into the sky. I could even feel the power of the sword from his body!"
"Sword power? Is there any mysterious connection?" Lin Shan didn't quite understand the connection.
"Shi, the external manifestation of the power of the soul, has the ability to stir the vitality of heaven and earth"
The Black Skull Demon Lord gave a hint, and Lin Shan suddenly understood.
"Stirring the vitality of heaven and earth, this is the miraculous power that can only be found in the Nascent Soul stage, and the power of magical powers!"
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord nodded, and then extended the secret to him:
"Under the immortal civilization system, each stage has its own characteristics: the spiritual consciousness is transformed during the Qi training stage, the spiritual consciousness is released during the foundation building stage, the mana is refined during the golden elixir stage, and the golden body of the Dharma is in the Nascent Soul stage."
"At the Nascent Soul stage, the combat power of cultivators at the same level is vastly different. Regardless of the external factors of magical powers and magic weapons, speaking of oneself alone, the understanding of the potential and the use of it will most likely affect a battle. ”
"The Dharma Appearance is the external manifestation of the potential, which can help monks better control the vitality of heaven and earth and assist them in improving the power of spells. Some people's Dharma Appearance is restrained and restrained within the body, while some people's Dharma Appearance is revealed externally, still There are a very small number of geniuses who have condensed the Dharma into a golden body, and even more, the Dharma can walk outside the body, which is comparable to the incarnation outside the body."
"So in the later stages, understanding is particularly important, and it is related to all aspects of spiritual practice, and the gap will become wider and wider."
"Hiss~" Lin Shan took a breath. Doesn't that mean that in the later stages, the fighting time is likely to gradually shorten? Even some extremely powerful men can suppress the enemy on the opposite side with just one move, without even a chance to resist. No?
"Don't worry too much. Although there are real geniuses, the world of cultivation is extremely vast and the chance of you encountering it is low. Most of the monks are mediocre people. Like this demon king, he rose to the throne from a young age. There are very few”
Lin Shan looked at the bragging skeleton strangely. If you were really as powerful as you said, you would have failed in your expedition to the territory of the "Three-Headed Cerberus" in the third world of hell. Looking for face in a sneak attack in another world?
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord did not notice his gaze, but continued to talk to himself: "Your cheap master was born with sword power, and he has the ability to control the vitality of heaven and earth. He is in line with the sword civilization and is equivalent to the Nascent Soul stage. At the same time, the memory of the Protector Dharma King in the late Nascent Soul stage also possesses the huge mana of the Nascent Soul stage, so his true strength is definitely not bad. Even if he cannot fight one against three for the time being, he still has a high chance of saving his life. ”
"It's just that he is not taking the path of an immortal cultivator who changes the soup without changing the medicine, but that sword cultivators and immortal cultivators coexist. This kind of defying path will be difficult in the future. After all, immortality is the protagonist in this era. Swordsmanship is an ancient era. The accidental birth of the system is very likely to be targeted by heaven, and the punishment from heaven will continue.”
"Of course, although this road has twists and turns, if he can really maintain his bravery and diligence, his achievements in the future may be immeasurable, and he may even grow into a real big shot in the world."
Lin Shan was frightened when he heard this, but he still couldn't help but question:
"We immortal cultivators will endure the thunder and punishment of heaven. Once we survive, we will be rewarded with the nectar of heaven and earth. Improving our qualifications and understanding will pave the way forward. My master is targeted by heaven. It stands to reason that even if we resist, there will be no reward, right? Then, right? How can his potential be improved in the future? ”
The Black Skull Demon Lord hesitated and guessed with some uncertainty:
"For an alien like him, Heaven will definitely suppress him, and there is no doubt that he will not receive compensation after the disaster. But since he can awaken and embark on the path of sword cultivation, then maybe
Is there a heel from a previous life? The legacy of the Kendo Era? The man behind the conspiracy? An guinea pig for an ancient power? Investment from forces in the upper world? ”
The Black Skull Demon Lord listed several guesses in succession, but Lin Shan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and couldn't help but come up with a ridiculous idea:
"Tell me, can you have all of the things listed above?"
"Fuck!!!"
The Black Skull Demon Lord was so frightened by his idea that he almost fell ill from the fright. Then he suddenly realized and quickly grabbed him and told him:
"Hurry, hurry, immediately, immediately, cut off all causal connections with this cheap master like you, otherwise not only will you suffer, but everyone around you will also suffer!"
"Listen to my brother's advice, the water here is very deep, you can't control it!"
"As for that?" Lin Shan was also startled by it. This was just speculation, and it was too fussy.
But the Black Skeleton Demon King was so anxious that he jumped:
"Of course, as for this kind of ancient conspiracy involving intricate power struggles and even era changes, you can't bear it. You really don't make people worry. I even doubt whether you are a disaster star."
< br>
"No! You are still entangled with strange creatures! You are a disaster!"
The soul fire of the Black Skull Demon King is burning rapidly. At this moment, his thoughts are about to diverge, and his brain is spinning faster and faster:
"Not only that, you used the cursed magical power in front of me back then. You are just a young boy in the foundation-building stage, but you didn't cast the magic power before you cast it. Could it be that you have already condensed the magical power seeds, right? ? ?”
"I am a member of the Nascent Soul Stage Skeleton Clan. Even if the clan has awakened the bone path supernatural power, I haven't condensed it into the magical power seed. You kid already has it?"
"It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous. It's absolutely impossible for you to make this magical seed by yourself. There must be someone from the fairy world behind you to teach you the magic. Maybe you have already received investment from a big shot!!!"
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord is indeed an old monster who travels around the world. After staying with Lin Shan for so long, he can actually deduce some of his trump cards from clues, and even this is far beyond his limit.
At this moment, the soul fire in its head began to burn crazily again, and it continued to overdraw its soul power for deductions.
"The great master of the fairy world who signed a contract with our hell world, whose curse magic power was born out of the witchcraft civilization several epochs ago, may be a big boss in the fairy world who likes archeology."
"Generally speaking, people who don't concentrate on improving their immortal cultivation and like to delve deeply into other civilizations are probably the ultimate old monsters who have lived for countless years. They have no progress in their immortal cultivation, so they plan to find another way to learn from it."
"And if you can be appreciated by such a person, and personally teach and invest, to improve your magical power of cursing, which brings trouble and misfortune to others, maybe you are a disaster star! You are the source of disaster! You are the best at doing this That’s right! I guessed it right before!”
"Even weird creatures smell your scent and rush to get close to you. I, I, I, I am really unlucky. How did I end up with such a thing like you?"< br>
……
"No, who do you think is a toy? You are the toy!"
Lin Shan slowly opened the trembling bony fingers of the Black Skeleton Demon Lord, and simply stopped pretending. His eyes were glowing with green light, and with a strange smile on his lips, he suddenly leaned forward!
"Scared?"
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, feeling weak and helpless for a moment, as if he was a lamb about to be slaughtered.
Lin Shan laughed heartily, pointing at the skeleton on the ground and grinning from ear to ear, very satisfied with the prank he had just played.
But his back was covered in cold sweat.
Isn't he panicking? He is panicking!
But, does he dare to admit this?
That must be impossible.
Lin Shan's face didn't change at this time, his heart didn't beat, and he even lied without drafting: "Brother Black Skull is worrying too much. The fact that I can use the magical power of the Zhen Sect is not my own ability, but with the help of a treasure."
"What treasure?"
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord calmed down a little at this time, but still did not dare to approach Linshan. He seemed to be afraid of the well rope after being bitten by a snake for ten years.
Lin Shan thought for a while and took out the "Nailhead Seven Arrows Calligraphy Man".
In fact, because he has magical seeds, he can curse others even if he is a straw man. However, this "straw man", as a treasure inherited from the Wudao Sect, is connected to the fairy weapons in the void, and has an additional "peeping" function. You can detect the enemy's status from a distance and understand the progress of your own curse.
It is a dispensable thing, but it is better than nothing. It is more or less a treasure.
The Black Skull Demon Lord just looked at it, not daring to reach out and touch this "straw man". He felt that this thing was given to Lin Shan by a great power from the fairy world. This kind of "investment" has an owner. Whoever touches it will be unlucky. If it breaks Due to the boss's deployment, it will definitely die miserably.
"Come on, brother, take it and take a closer look. I really didn't lie to you!"
"No, please take it away quickly. This is something given to you by the Immortal Realm. I can't touch it. I don't want to die"
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord rolled and crawled on the deck, retreating crazily, as if he was afraid of being tainted with any horror.
Lin Shan couldn't help but was speechless. He found that this guy seemed to be stunned. He immediately put away the straw man and took out the virtual star disk.
"Come on, brother, take this and take a look."
"Okay!"
The Black Skull Demon Lord immediately jumped up and rushed forward to take it.
"Get lost!"
Lin Shan slapped the guy aside and took back the spirit treasure bitterly.
I knew this guy was really evil!
The Black Skull Demon Lord finally reacted and couldn't help but chatter. Seeing the Xiantian Lingbao just now was a completely subconscious reaction, and any fear was immediately thrown out of the sky.
It seems that he is also a "money rather than life" master.
This time, it made him recognize himself more clearly and strengthened his determination to obtain the innate spiritual treasure.
Screw the weirdness and conspiracy, in the face of visible benefits, these unknown dangers are all bullshit! We, the skeletons, seize the day and care about who is in front of and behind them?
I was scared to death just now, but now when I saw the virtual star disk, I immediately felt as if I had been shot. The greedy nature of hell creatures is indeed not groundless.
The two have their own hidden agendas, and they continue to be hypocritical and warm on the surface.
……
Time flew by.
A week later, they arrived at a volcanic archipelago deep in the East China Sea. The temporary headquarters of the Demonic East China Sea was already in sight.
