Chapter 88: A Gathering of Heroes, Beheaded and Corpses Lying

Ding Hai and Zhang Zhiwei, who were not surprised by this, followed A Qiao into the big tent.

The furnishings in the big tent were very ordinary, without too many traces of the Miao family. It was completely different from the residence of an ordinary second-rate Gu Master.

The various strange-shaped herbs and strange insects that can cause people to suffer from intensive phobia that people usually imagine a Gu Master’s residence should have are nowhere to be seen here.

In fact, this is what an orthodox Gu Master should be like.

In Miaojiang, there is a widely circulated saying: Third-rate Gu Masters play with five poisons, second-rate Gu Masters raise insects, first-rate Gu Masters grow herbs, and orthodox Gu Masters nourish the body and mind.

The witchcraft that evolved from the ancient Zhuyou technique is not just about catching a few strange insects and raising them on your body.

Astronomy, geography, medicine, divination, and orthodox sorcerers must learn them all.

It’s just that the system they learned is relatively old in version, and is not as comprehensive and rich as the knowledge that has been updated from generation to generation in Taoism.

In addition, they have to practice Qi just like Taoists.

The only difference is that Taoists collect spiritual energy from heaven and earth or the light from the sun, moon and stars, while they choose a poisonous insect as their natal poison, and together with the insect, inhale and exhale the alien breath between heaven and earth to strengthen themselves.

After they have trained their Qi to a certain level, the natal Gu they selected will merge with the alien aura and eventually be integrated into their bodies, bringing them all kinds of incredible abilities.

The so-called golden silkworm Gu and qi line Gu are just the former appearances of the natal Gu.

In fact, they have already transformed into alien auras and merged into the Gu Master's body.

The high priest in front of him could contain six kinds of alien auras in his body, which meant that she had condensed five kinds of mysterious methods in addition to her natal Gu.

Looking at all the Miao high priests in history, he was also extremely outstanding.

"Hello, Senior." ×2
"The younger generation is Zhang Zhiwei, the successor of the Han Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain."

"Junior Maoshan Dingxie."

After entering the tent, Ding Hai and Zhang Zhiwei took a quick look at the environment inside, then respectfully bowed to the middle-aged Miao woman sitting at the top.

The middle-aged Miao woman is also not tall, but has a dignified appearance.

She was dressed in traditional Miao clothing, and her silver jewelry gleamed gently in the firelight.

When facing Ding Hai and the other man, her face was calm and dignified, like a wise elder.

"You two are both young talents in my southern spiritual world. There is no need to be polite. Please take a seat." The high priest did not put on airs.

One reason is that Ding Hai and Zhang Zhiwei’s identities are not simple. They represent the two top forces, Maoshan and Sihan Tianshi Mansion, and they should be given due respect.

The second reason was that the poisonous insect in her body was frantically warning her that the two rising stars in the spiritual world in front of her were not as simple as they seemed.

Under A Qiao's guidance, Ding Hai and Zhang Zhiwei took their seats respectively.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with the high priest over a cup of hot tea, Zhang Zhiwei pulled out from his sleeve the three lists of Heaven, Earth and Man that he had prepared long ago.

Looking at the light blue, golden, and silver-white lists, a gleam of light flashed in the high priest's eyes.

Although he only took a quick glance, the high priest had already discovered the extraordinary aspects of the three lists.

Could it be that the reason they came to visit me was to trade treasures with me?

“Senior, the reason why the northern and southern spirit worlds have gathered here is to consume the power of the Dream Mother and cut off the possibility of the six-day ghosts returning.

The second reason is that the spiritual world has been somewhat lifeless in recent years. It has not been lively for a long time, and everyone is complacent and unwilling to communicate.

In order to change this situation and revitalize the spiritual world, my master, together with the other three families of Sanshan Talisman, jointly formulated three lists in an attempt to break the status quo.

This time, the two of us came here to invite you to be on the list and set an example for all the cultivators in the world."

As Zhang Zhiwei spoke, he handed the Heavenly List to Ah Qiao who was waiting on the side, and signaled Ah Qiao to pass the Heavenly List to the high priest to have a look at it first.

Seeing that the high priest showed no objection, A Qiao respectfully took the Heavenly List and placed it in front of the high priest.

The high priest sitting in the main seat did not immediately open the Heavenly List in front of him, but took a deep look at Zhang Zhiwei and Ding Hai, trying to see something from the expressions on the faces of these two young men.

Unfortunately, Ding Hai and the other man, who had already prepared themselves mentally when they arrived, appeared to be acting normal on the surface, and no matter how hard the high priest looked, he could not figure out what was going on.

After retracting his gaze, the high priest reached out and untied the light blue ribbon that bound the Heavenly List.

With a whoosh, the Heavenly Ranking that was rolled up into a scroll unfolded by itself.

The two huge words "Heavenly Ranking" were imprinted in the high priest's vision.

Although I am surprised why the name of the list is "Tianbang", aren't you afraid of ruining your luck?

But the high priest did not ask any questions, but looked down the rankings on the list one by one.

First on the Heavenly Ranking: Zhang Jingqing, the Successor of the Han Heavenly Master
Second on the Heavenly Ranking: The Ancestor of the Bashu Qingyang Palace
No. 1 on the Heavenly Ranking...

They were all very familiar names, and she had dealt with several of them before.

After looking at the nine people who had made it onto the Heavenly Ranking, she began to look at the materials and refining methods of the Heavenly Ranking.

Finally, he looked at the seal signed by the Three Mountains Talisman on the lower right corner of the Heavenly Ranking.

The embryo of the magic weapon, which has already taken shape and only lacks spirituality, can be used as a list to record only ten names.

The Sanshan Talisman is truly extravagant!
Even though I always felt something was odd in my heart, the material of the Heavenly Ranking was there, and the imprint of the Three Mountains Talisman could not be faked.

The high priest did not realize that this was a complete scam: "The nine Taoist friends on the list all have the ability to reach the sky. I am just a woman. I know I am not as good as you Taoist friends. How dare I be included in the heavenly list."

The high priest declined the invitation from Ding Hai and his partner to be on the list.

Family members know their own business. Although she is already a leader among the Miao high priests of all generations.

But compared with the above nine people, he is still a step behind.

In addition to these nine people in the spiritual world, there are also Yang Gods who are stronger than her.

If she forced her way onto the list, how would the other Yang Gods view her?

Ding Hai and Zhang Zhiwei had expected the high priest to evade responsibility.

This Miao high priest is very powerful, even stronger than the Wuyi God, but he is still a little short of securing the tenth place on the Heavenly Ranking.

The heads of Maoshan and Gezhaoshan alone were not people she could easily deal with.

If she agreed to be on the list immediately after being invited, Ding Hai and Zhang Zhiwei would start to suspect whether there was some trick that they were not aware of.

Zhang Zhiwei started with a bunch of nonsense that sounded reasonable: "You don't know, High Priest, my master's purpose in creating this list is not to provoke fighting.

Rather, it is to encourage younger disciples in the spiritual world to find similarities between themselves and their predecessors.

Then we will work hard towards the achievements of our predecessors. Therefore, strength is indeed an important indicator for being on the list, but it is not the only factor. "

After listening to Zhang Zhiwei's words, the high priest finally understood why the names of Bashe Patriarch and Mangshan Ghost Emperor appeared on the list.

Although the spiritual world is dominated by humans, there is still room for survival for other kinds of cultivators.

However, compared with human monks, the living space of alien monks is relatively narrow and their prospects are relatively limited.

"Young Heavenly Master, please bring my regards to the old Heavenly Master when you return to the Heavenly Master's Mansion in the future. Thank you for your appreciation.

But if my status as a female cultivator is taken into consideration in order to allow me to be on the list, then in fact, Nun Baimei from the Guangdong Immortal Academy is more suitable than me."

Nun Baimei is a casual cultivator from Guangdong, but her cultivation is indeed formidable. There is also True Lord Yangshen in charge of the Louvre Palace in Guangdong, but no one dares to provoke Nun Baimei unless it is necessary.

Because Master Baimei not only went very deep into the Yangshen realm, she also mastered a number of magical arts.

As long as she doesn't go to Luofu Mountain, Yangshen Zhenjun of Luofu Palace may not be her opponent.

His disciple Bai Min'er has practiced Taoism for decades and has reached the realm of three souls and Yin gods, and is showing signs of becoming a Yang god.

If this list is true, the tenth place on the Heavenly Ranking only considers gender and nothing else.

Nun Baimei is indeed more qualified to be on the list than the high priest.

Unfortunately, all of the above premises are false.

"High Priest, Nun Baimei has her own affinity with Nun Baimei, and the High Priest also has his own good qualities.

The reason why my master wanted to invite the high priest to be on the list is not only because of your identity as a female cultivator, but also because of the Sandong Miao Village behind you.

In recent years, the confrontation between the Miao and Han has become increasingly serious, and it seems that conflict and even bloodshed are imminent. My master hopes that all ethnic groups can live in peace. "

Zhang Zhiwei is worthy of being Zhang Zhiwei. He is better than Ding Hai in telling lies.

When the high priest heard Zhang Zhiwei point out that the conflict between the Miao and Han people was escalating, he did not refuse again. Instead, he looked at the Heavenly List and pondered for a moment.

A Qiao, who was standing aside, also realized what it meant to be on this list. He immediately looked anxiously towards the high priest on the main seat, but due to the rules, he did not dare to make any sound.

After a moment, the high priest made a decision in his heart and reached out to record his message on the Heavenly List.

After waving his hand and using magic power to send the Heavenly List back to Zhang Zhiwei, the high priest asked casually.

"I wonder what the other two similar lists in front of Master Shao Tian are?"

“According to my master’s opinion, the Heavenly Ranking includes the ten most representative Yangshen Zhenjuns in the world.

The Earth Ranking lists the thirty-six most powerful, most promising, and most famous Yin Shen Zhenren in the world.

The human list is going to include a total of 72 young heroes in the Yin God realm. My master feels that this Wushen Village Conference has gathered nearly 70% of the young heroes in the world, which is a good opportunity.

Then let me bring the three lists of Heaven, Earth and Man here to serve as a benchmark for many cultivators in the spiritual world."

After asking about the general situation of the three lists of heaven, earth and man, the high priest changed the subject and began to discuss metaphysics and Taoism with Zhang Zhiwei and Ding Hai.

Those who can rival the Yang God are indeed quite capable. If Ding Hai and Zhang Zhiwei's actions were not beyond the scope, they would not be qualified to sit and discuss with the high priest.

An hour later, the high priest took the initiative to end the discussion.

Ding Hai and the other man were also very tactful. They asked to take their leave without waiting for the high priest to serve tea.

After sending Ding Hai and the other two out of the tent, Ah Qiao came skipping behind the high priest and massaged his shoulders considerately: "Grandma, you don't know, I was almost worried to death just now."

"You little devil, why are you so anxious?" The high priest also put aside his dignified and generous manner in front of outsiders, turned around and tapped Aqiao's forehead.

“I’m afraid you’ll reject the list again. Our village has been silent for a long, long time.

Grandma, you don’t know that many Han people have begun to invade the mountains and forests of our people and collect grain from our people as taxes.

Obviously those Han people have so much land, why do they want to steal our forests?

Our land is all in the mountains, and we only produce so much grain each year. If we pay the taxes they set, we will starve.

But if you don’t hand it over, they will come with knives and guns to arrest you. I heard that the people they arrested never returned to the village.”

The high priest listened to Aqiao's story and was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

She knew everything that Aqiao said, but the situation was not in her favor, so it was useless to know.

She had put a lot of thought into just barely protecting the core territory of Sandong Miao Village from being divided up by others. It wasn't that she didn't want to manage the Miao villages outside, but she just couldn't.

The forces around here that are eyeing Sandong Miao Village covetously are not just one.

There are Han family Yangshen monks, there are great demon kings in the deep mountains and old forests, and there are thousand-year-old ghosts wandering between mountains and rivers.

If she takes care of one thing, she will lose the other. If she takes care of the core area of ​​Sandong, she will not be able to take care of the outer Miao villages.

But she did not say these discouraging words to Aqiao.

While she still has the ability to provide for them, let them live a few more years of carefree life!
"You little devil, there's something wrong with that list." The high priest found an excuse and brought the topic back to the original track.

"Problem? What problem?" The young Aqiao had no time to react and had been led astray by the high priest.

“This list should not be published here.”

"Why? Grandma, you are the last Yangshen master to be on the list, and this is the most suitable place to publish the list. How can it be inappropriate?"

A Qiao couldn't understand. In her opinion, this was all very good.

"Silly girl, the people who can truly dominate the situation in the spiritual world are never the lower class but the upper class.

If they had just come up with a single list of people it would have been barely acceptable, but they came up with three lists, which is not right.

Under normal circumstances, the Heaven Ranking and Earth Ranking of those who have been finalized should be announced at the Longhu Mountain Successor Han Tianshi Mansion. "

Ah Qiao’s little head was already dizzy.

What is this all about?

"Then grandma, why do you still want to enter your own information?" If you know there is something wrong with the list, why do you still want to participate.

"First of all, Grandma, I can't guarantee that my guess is completely correct.

Zhang Jingqing, the current Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu, was known for being unreliable when he was young, so it is possible that he could have done such a thing.

Secondly, even if there is a problem with this list, we will not suffer any loss. As long as the two young people who came here today do not die halfway, their future achievements will be limitless.

With what happened today, we can make them owe us a big favor. If a critical moment comes in the future, these two favors may be able to save the lives of our Sandong Miao Village."

A Qiao felt that her grandma was exaggerating, and she also secretly observed the two young men who came today.

They are all around the Han people's transcendence realm.

Now in the camp outside, there are dozens of Transcendent Realm cultivators of similar age to them, if not a handful.

Is it possible that their future prospects are limitless?
There was no way Aqiao's little thoughts could be hidden from the high priest who had lived for hundreds of years.

But there are some things that are useless to be taught by people. It is enough to teach people once.

Therefore, she did not intend to tell Aqiao that these two people could actually threaten her today.

To be honest, the reason why she was willing to be included in the Heavenly Ranking was more out of respect for Zhang Zhiwei and Ding Hai, rather than Zhang Zhiwei's lies that were full of loopholes.

The spiritual world has always been about who has the bigger fist, and has never cared about the gender and race of the monks.

After leaving the big tent, Ding Hai and the other person returned to Zhang Zhiwei's tent. Looking at the ten shining names on the Heavenly Ranking, they couldn't help but smile at each other.

After two days of hard work, I finally figured out the most critical part.

The two did not talk much. They each took two paper lists that had been prepared long ago, quietly concealed their own auras, and blended into the crowd in the camp.

I started talking to various people, known and unknown, about the authenticity of the list.

It didn't take long before most people in the camp knew that Sanshan Fulu had made a list.

The Heavenly Ranking includes ten Yang Gods.

Among them, the Tenth Heavenly Lord, High Priest Wu Qianjun, the Six Desires Heavenly Lord, was sitting in the big tent in the center of the camp, escorting this unprecedented grand Wushen Village Conference.

The Earth List includes thirty-six powerful Yin Shen Zhenren of the time.

The thirty-third true man, the divine fortune teller Wang Xu, was also in the camp. It was said that Wang Banxian's fortune-telling was always accurate.

The fact that the Wuyi God of the Wuyi Temple in Fujian was able to escape death this time had a lot to do with him.

The seventeenth real person, Pretty Rakshasa Bai Min'er, also came to the Wushen Village meeting this time. Bai Min'er not only has a high level of cultivation that has reached the Three Souls Realm, but her flying sword technique has also reached a high level.

…………

Sanshan Fulu had originally planned to rank the seventy-two young heroes included in the human list directly according to their past battle records.

However, under the insistence of Zhang Zhiwei, the Young Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, it was decided to use this Wushen Village Conference as a trial to re-evaluate the strength of the world's young talents.

The ranking of the young heroes will be compiled according to the number of times they have visited the villages and the time they have visited.

…………

Anyway, when Ding Hai and Zhang Zhiwei quietly returned to Zhang Zhiwei's tent again.

The news about the three lists of Heaven, Earth and Man has spread like wildfire throughout the camp.

Even Sanshan Fulu's own disciples were concerned about these three lists.

The words fame and fortune are not something that everyone can afford.

The entire camp was stirred up by three sudden lists.

The pretty Rakshasa Bai Min'er showed a sneer as she held the local ranking copied by her third junior sister. The Sihan Tianshi Mansion that compiled this list was really ignorant.

The so-called tenth on the Heavenly Ranking, Wu Qianjun, the Lord of the Six Desires, is no match for his own master.

If it weren't for the support of Sandong Miao Village, this position should have belonged to my master.

What about this Earth Ranking? Bai Miner, who thought she was no weaker than anyone else, sneered after seeing it.

The fifteenth-ranked Great Elder of Mount Wuyi had fought with her before. At that time, she was still in the Seven Souls Yin God Realm, but she was already able to fight him head-on and remain undefeated.

Now that his three souls are stable and his strength is several times stronger than before, he is still two places behind him in the ranking. The ulterior motives of the person who compiled the list are too obvious.

Deliberately promote the monks of the sect and intentionally suppress the independent practitioners.

Bah, the Successor Han Tianshi Mansion is not a good thing either.

Ding Hai and Zhang Zhiwei, who had no idea that the Sihan Tianshi Temple had taken the blame for them, got together again after sending each other's fellow apprentices away.

"The list has basically been finalized, and it will be ready once it's announced tomorrow morning.

I said, why don’t we go to Jiuzhaigou first to try our hand at the water? We both know about Jiuzhaigou from the information we got from the sect.

It's a little unsafe after all, isn't it? "Zhang Zhiwei, who had fooled everyone, was very happy now, because everything that was happening in the camp was fun in his eyes.

It was obvious that these young heroes came to compete with him and Ding Hai.

As a result, the trouble they caused directly diverted attention, and they went from being miserable tools at the beginning to being the ones who drank tea and watched the show.

But no matter how happy he was, he still had some bottom line in his heart.

From front to back, Jiuzhaigou has a total of nine large villages and twenty-seven mountains.

Every mountain and village is entangled with thousands of dreams.

These dreams decrease in difficulty from the inside out to the outside.

According to the sect’s records, the dreams surrounding the first large village, Yunxi Village, were no different from those of ordinary people.

As long as your mind is a little clearer, you can break free from the shackles of dreams.

Every time they break free from the dream, the power of the Dream Mother in the dream will become a little weaker.

In order to trap the souls of the Miao people who maintain their dreams, the Dream Mother will inject her power into their dreams again and again.

Until the Dream Mother became alert because of the loss of too much power, in order not to alarm the Dream Mother, this Wushen Village Conference was ended.

Ding Hai was not interested in Zhang Zhiwei's proposal, but Zhang Zhiwei had just taken so much blame for him, it was impossible for him to turn against him now.

So, he nodded and said, "Let's go together tonight."

Nearing evening, the two of them left the camp openly and walked towards a lush mountain behind the camp. Walking along the treetops, they arrived at the top of the mountain in front of Yunxi Village.

When they relaxed their vigilance, a faint mist appeared out of nowhere and pulled them into a bizarre dream.

But the next moment, the two people who were trapped in the dream woke up at the same time.

"It's even shallower than the dreams I had before I started practicing. Ordinary people with a light sleep rate can probably break free of it. Let's go and find a place to sleep."

The dream of Yunxi Village and Benshan Village could not trap the two for a moment.

The back mountain, the second village, the third village, and soon Ding Kai and his companion arrived at the back mountain of the eighth village.

Looking at the mountain in front of Wushen Village shrouded in thick fog not far away, Ding Hai and the others stopped in their tracks.

According to their personal experience just now, Jiuzhaigou is indeed extremely weak at the moment.

The dreams of Yunxi Village and the Second Village can be escaped by ordinary people with strong willpower.

The dream in the mountain in front of the third village is equivalent to a relatively realistic lucid dream. Ordinary people can only wait for the dream to fade away or wake up when stimulated by external forces.

When we reach the third camp, the intensity of the dream is about the same as that of ordinary illusions, and monks in the state of concentration may not be able to withstand it.

The strength of the mountain behind the third camp is a bit stronger, and cultivators at the state of concentration will definitely not be able to pass through it.

The mountain in front of the Fifth Village is basically the limit for ordinary foundation-building cultivators.

Someone like Lin Jiu could barely reach the back mountain of the Fifth Village.

When they reached the back mountain of the sixth camp, people like Shi Jian and Lu Zhuo would probably find it difficult to distinguish between dreams and reality.

The Seventh Village is almost the limit for most Seven Soul Yin Gods.

In the eighth village, ordinary three-soul Yin gods can only stop in this village. Three-soul Yin gods that touch the Yang God can survive to the back mountain, but if they are not careful, they will be in danger of getting lost.

Ding Hai and Zhang Zhiwei were also trapped in there for about two incense sticks of time before they realized something was wrong and broke free from the dream.

As for the Wushen Village, which is about ten miles away from the back mountain, entering it is basically equivalent to facing the Dream Mother directly.

Zhang Zhiwei said that his master, the old Taoist priest Zhang Jingqing, was probably not sure he could escape unscathed.

If you don’t have the abilities of the demon Taoist Lin Lingsu, you’d better just play by the rules set by Lin Lingsu.

Otherwise, people will really die.

　The second chapter is here today. I'm stuck with a writer's block and only have 6,000 left. The transition is over, and I have to continue having fun. As usual, I'm asking for votes. I want both monthly votes and recommendation votes.
