Dark clouds rolled violently in the sky, and heavy rain swept across the earth.
A young Taoist holding an umbrella was walking in the forest.
With a wave of his hand, a gentle force of energy pushed aside the thorns in front of him.
He looked up at the sky and found that it had become completely dark.
He looked down at the road that was already stained with mud.
Trousers, murmured: "It's time to find a place to rest."
A month ago, Li Haocheng, who was well prepared, activated the Jiuquan Mountain Formation, closed the Yuquan Temple, and entered the Qingyan Mountains.
At this time, according to the division of national boundaries, he was already close to the border of the Southern Song Dynasty.
The most important reason for choosing to cross the Qingyang Mountains instead of taking the official road was to avoid being tracked by the Liangyi Immortal Mansion, in addition to rushing for time.
According to Li Haocheng's understanding, the main body of the Vajra Realm Mandala Prajna, the five moon wheels and the five demon-suppressing Buddhist formations that sealed Mrs.
Huangquan, in addition to part of the spiritual realm, there is also a part that should be in the Qingyan Mountains, so the earth and atmosphere of the entire Qingyan Mountains are Being suppressed tightly.
As a result, Qingyang County, which is surrounded by the Qingyan Mountains for most of its territory, has a chaotic earth energy, and there are problems with the vitality and spiritual movement of the heaven and earth.
Even in the towns near the Qingyan Mountains, there are no dojos and spiritual realms established by the gods.
They stay here.
Most of the temples are just transfer stations for the gods to accept the beliefs of all living beings and regulate their own authority.
The top of the sky also forms the temple sanctuary.
However, the fact that the Qingyan Mountains can block the senses of the gods and earthly immortals also means that the gods have weak control over this.
Towns with large population centers are not so bad, because the people pray, and the gods will pay special attention to regulate the wind and rain.
But inside the mountain range, because the part that hides the Buddhist formation is not a prince-level deity, it does not even have the ability to pay attention.
In addition, there are not many creatures inside the mountain range, and there is not much belief in outside gods.
This makes Qingyang County a large number of gods.
Most low-level gods use this place as a storage place for water vapor.
When Qingyang County has more water, they send the excess water vapor into the mountains.
When Qingyang County has less water, they extract it from the inside of the mountains.
This makes the interior of the Qingyan Mountains , the climate is very weird and there is no pattern at all.
Therefore, not long after entering the Qingyan Mountains, Li Haocheng gave up his original idea of quickly crossing the Qingyan Mountains and turned to the trail opened by business people in the Qingyan Mountains.
After thousands of years of evolution, this road has become like a spider web.
The various villages in the Qingyan Mountains are connected and have become an important way for residents in the Qingyan Mountains to communicate with the outside world.
After walking for about half an hour, relying on his eyesight blessed by magic, Li Haocheng finally saw the flickering light of fire in the distance ahead.
He looked happy and cast several light body magic, speeding up towards the fire.
Speeding away in the direction it started.
According to the map marks that Li Haocheng acquired, the name of the village stationed here is Jiuxi.
It is one of the few ancient villages in the Qingyan Mountains that still retains the inheritance of witchcraft.
It is also one of the few in the Qingyan Mountains that is willing to accept outsiders into the village.
A place for internal transactions.
For monks like Li Haocheng who travel to the Qingyan Mountains, the residents of Jiuxi Village who are willing to accept them for internal transactions in the village are not unfamiliar.
So as soon as he approached the village, a young villager who looked after the gate came up and took out a After a brief test on Li Haocheng, a magical weapon made of white bones led him to a place to stay.
As soon as he entered the village, Li Haocheng saw huge totem poles covered with strange witch patterns erected in an empty square in the center of the village.
Even if it rains heavily at this time, iron basins are placed above these huge totem poles, burning with blazing fire.
These totem poles are one of the foundations of the inheritance of witchcraft.
They are an important basis for shamans to worship their ancestors, and they are also the strongest protective force for the village.
Even if he is just watching from a distance, Li Haocheng can feel the powerful power contained in those totem poles.
These totem poles have been in his small body under the continuous incense sacrifice of the residents of Jiuxizhai for thousands of years. , opening up a magical world similar to a spiritual realm, in which countless heroic spirits who died for the village are sleeping.
These heroic spirits are not only the major consumers of the incense and willpower stored in the totem pole, but also the most powerful attack method the totem pole possesses.
The placement of the pillars is also very interesting, vaguely forming a certain formation.

However, the placement of these directions is not according to the Nine Palaces and Bagua directions of immortality.
It feels a bit like the three talents of heaven, earth, man, and the three elements of heaven, earth, and water.
It is quite ancient and quite primitive. .
Compared with the current Immortal Dao, most of them use their own theories to analyze the laws of heaven's operation, and give birth to so-called formations that imitate nature.
These totem pole placement methods originated from ancient witchcraft are obviously closer to the laws of nature's operation.
In addition, the flames that are always burning above the pillars are not simple.
In Li Haocheng's view, these flames that should have been ordinary are now emitting five colors of light, burning all the time in the totem poles.
Faith leaves behind pure willpower and turns it into the totem pole.
As for the mixed aura that was burned out, it continued to emit as the flames transpired.
Under the influence of the totem pole formation, it turned into a huge barrier that enveloped the entire village, protecting the villagers from wandering in the mountains.
Persecution by souls and ghosts.
It is indeed an ancient inheritance that originated from Shinto and almost transcended Shinto.
Although it has declined now, it has a profound foundation after all and cannot be underestimated.
"Eh?"
Li Haocheng, who was observing the mysteries of the totem pole and getting more and more excited as he watched, unconsciously revealed a hint of his energy.
A black-robed wizard who was busy in the center of the square maintaining the flame of the totem pole suddenly noticed it and turned his head to look. , Li Haocheng, who has a sensitive spiritual sense and found someone looking at him, looked at each other.
"Immortal monk, and also a true immortal monk, we are in trouble now."
The wizard lowered his head, stretched out his hand to press on a totem pole, and felt the rising red light in it.
This is the blessing and inheritance given by the ancestors to the descendants.
"Don't blame me, don't blame me," a tone like a sigh kept coming from the depths of the wizard's throat, and there was a trace of viciousness and a trace of intolerance in the eyes of the black-robed wizard.
But when he looked at the tribal stories recorded with witch patterns on the totem pole, his initially hesitant eyes gradually became firmer.
On the other side, after Li Haocheng withdrew his gaze, he suddenly felt something.
He looked at the wizard with his head lowered again, and then looked at the surrounding environment again, with a little fire in his eyes.
Then he sighed and followed the doorkeeper.
The villagers came to a simple wooden house that was obviously newly built.
This villager who seemed to have just grown up seemed a little shy.
Seeing Li Haocheng's strange eyes, he explained with some embarrassment: "I'm really sorry, our Jiuxi Village was attacked by monsters some time ago, and many houses were damaged. , the place originally given to you outsiders to live in, because there is no one to protect it, it can no longer be the owner, so you can only " "It doesn't matter."
Li Haocheng smiled, waved his hand, and asked: "Where is the trading place between your village and outsiders?
Of course, it is not ordinary goods, but some things that only wizards can use."
"Oh, I almost forgot that people like you need to be brought to Elder Wu's side first.
Sorry, it's my first time to bring someone, so" the young villager touched his head in embarrassment and did not finish his words. , even in the rain, he took Li Haocheng to another house.
This house had some It's old, but the workmanship is very fine, and many places are covered with witch patterns.
Although these witch patterns are weird and unpredictable, Li Haocheng can roughly guess the corresponding abilities based on the aura they make up, which is nothing more than an understanding of witches.
The Tao increases, suppressing the monks who practice other methods.
In addition, there are several guards standing around the house.
These people are full of strong Qi and blood.
Judging by their momentum alone, their strength ranges from the early stage of the innate warrior to the half-step shackles state, and they all carry a The strange smell echoes the totem pole outside.
Compared with the house and the guards, the old wizard sitting in the center warming himself by the fire was the most inconspicuous.
Seeing Li Haocheng walk into the room, the old wizard first asked the young villagers to retreat, and then motioned to the surrounding guards not to come forward.
He asked Li Haocheng to sit next to him, and said with some emotion: "You are a smart man, I have been here since you arrived.
You already knew at the moment that you saw the secret of the village, right?"
Feeling that although the old man's body had declined, he still had pure and powerful witchcraft power.
Li Haocheng hesitated for a moment and asked, "Don't you stop him?"
