Beichen Sword Sect's Headmaster's Secret Records

Chapter 263 Like Waves and Tides
Xing Yuanzhi is a female disciple of the Qingtang Sect of Wangwu Mountain. She has also met Liu Xiaoliu (Tie), a disciple of the Jian Sect, and has practiced together twice.

She was originally ordered by her master to sneak into the Snow Mountain Palace and thwart the demon's plan to unseal it. Later, she mistakenly entered the Helin Weng's formation and was involved in the Lanling Incident. In the end, she escaped. She thought that her calamity had ended and her merits were sufficient to allow her to join the inner sect. She planned to return to the mountain to meditate in seclusion, not caring about external affairs, and concentrate on forming a baby. However, who knew that at this time, the great calamity of Xuanmen would begin again.

Xing Yuanzhi's calamity of killing had already passed, but because when she was undercover in the past, she often stayed in Kanzhou and traveled to the north for a long time, she was the most familiar with the geography and scenery of this area in the sect. Therefore, the leader of Qingtang Sect ordered her to be an inner disciple, and to go out of the mountain and lead the team. She would be credited with a great merit just by assisting the Xuanmen disciples in their training.

If she could take advantage of the chaos to open the treasury of the Snow Mountain Palace's ancestral tomb, not only would the sect have its own natural treasures to reward her, she would also have a copy of the Secret Book of Transformation. If she succeeded in forming a baby in the future, she would be guaranteed to be a deacon in the sect. Even if she died in battle, she could still receive personal instruction from the sect leader after her reincarnation.

So Xing Yuanzhi got excited, gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, and became a Weng...

"Being unable to achieve one's potential and being greedy will lead to one's own death."

Tiedan boiled his own change of robe with Taoist Qi, tore it into strips, and bandaged her while she listened. He wrapped Xing Yuanzhi up like a mummy, and made cold comments after listening.

Yuanzhi was not convinced.

"How can I disobey the orders of my master? If I don't give the master face, how can I survive in the mountains? I don't know how many troubles I will suffer in the future!"

"Do you have a future?"

Tiedan poked her boiled flesh, and blood and grease were everywhere.

"You are so conscious, but you are still asking me to save you. It would be better for you to just die."

Xing Yuanzhi took a hissing breath.
"Don't be anxious, brother. This sword will come naturally to you.

In fact, I was just tied up with the Immortal Binding Rope, and it was difficult for me to control my Qi. I was also boiled for ten days, and my Dao body collapsed. I had been using the secret method passed down by the inner sect to protect my heart, and I was ready to die and reincarnate. Who knew... who knew that I suddenly had a glimmer of hope, and I couldn't hold on for a moment, and my Dao heart collapsed...

In my current state, once I reincarnate, I am afraid that my spirit and soul will be scattered. I don’t have the treasure to collect my soul and protect it, so I can only ask you to stay with me for another three to five days and protect me until I can calm my mind, gather my heart, and prepare for the transformation into a soldier.”

"Oh, then you take your time to prepare."

Tiedan stood up and was about to leave.

"Brother! Brother! Where are you going? Don't leave me behind!"

As expected, Yuanzhi's faith in Taoism was a little broken. She was startled and panicked.

"Go out and finish off the enemy, and loot the corpse while you're at it."

Tiedan looked at her coldly, then looked at the tripod.
"And the soup base is already boiling, so we can add some ingredients to the pot."

Yuanzhi was stunned.

"You, you, you don't want to eat..."

"You can die in a moment. I have to eat dinner."

Yuanzhi felt nauseous.
"But there are people in the pot... How can we..."

Tiedan's eyes glowed with green light, and he looked down at his junior sister who was no longer in human form.
"In this kind of place, in this kind of weather, how can you survive without eating meat? If you want to live, you have to kill; if you want to live, you have to eat.

If you want to die as a soldier, make up your mind quickly, but if you want to survive like the monsters, you have to be like them.

Eat whatever you can and do whatever you can to survive before you think about anything else."

"Eat... kill... live..."

Xing Yuanzhi was confused for a moment.

Tiedan ignored her and went out of the tent to search, killing and beheading all the demons on the ground, cutting off their bones and shaving their flesh. He took back the juicy internal organs, such as hearts, livers, brains, tendons, lion heads and rabbit feet, which were full of spiritual energy and threw them into the pot. He fanned the pot and called out sparrows to control the Taoist fire to simmer them slowly in order to expel the evil spirit.

As for the hard skin, thick armor, bones, muscles, and large pieces of meat that were smashed into pieces, smelly, dirty, and difficult to swallow, the ear mouse was asked to take them back to the gourd and use them as fertilizer for the flowers.

Oh, I forgot to mention it before. Xuantian was guarding the Xingxuan formation. He was sitting there all day with nothing to do. He had read a lot of books, so he changed the formation for alchemy. He put the Yuanying gourd in the formation and cleansed it with the spiritual energy of the formation. Finally, he repaired it successfully and the spirit of the instrument was revived! He is really capable. He can do everything...

Anyway, they cleaned up the demon's nest and checked the corpses one by one. Tiedan also confirmed that there was no fox...

Hey? This ghost thing is pretty tough? No! I'm really going to fight you, I have to kill you! I'll keep chasing you after you're full!
So Tiedan returned to the camp with the pots and bowls he had found, scooped up a bowl of the monster stew, took a sip, and smacked his lips...

Well, okay, I can finally swallow it. Although it doesn't have bones and the meat is tender, eating hot pot on a snowy day is still quite warming.

However, this tripod seems to be a treasure. Not only can it block the detection of spiritual consciousness, but it can also withstand the roasting of Qingsha Dao fire. If it can be carried with me, it would be nice to use it for hot pot occasionally. Unfortunately, it seems that it cannot be stored in the storage jade, so I can only give up.

Tiedan slurped down three bowls of rice, then looked at Xing Yuanzhi who was staring at him eagerly.

"Would you like a share?"

Xing Yuanzhi was conflicted for a while.

"I can't swallow it."

Ferritin glanced at her and ignored her.

"No, no, I mean..."

Xing Yuanzhi opened her mouth.

"I was injured too badly, my throat was torn, I could only use my internal energy to transmit sound, I couldn't swallow even if I wanted to eat."

Tiedan looked at her, then brought the bowl over, took a sip himself, chewed it till it was done, and then fed the gravy to her mouth-to-mouth.

"you you you!"

Yuanzhi suddenly lost control of her emotions.

"Why, why... I'm so ugly now..."

Ferritin glanced at her.
"What nonsense! You weren't that pretty before. Do you still want it?"

"Yes, yes!"

In this way, the two of them finished eating the whole pot of stew and actually recovered a lot of their energy.

After all, in the eyes of mortals, these things are called monsters, but in the eyes of mountain people, these things are treasures!
There are nearly a hundred Golden Core demons and three Nascent Soul demons. This pile of materials is enough to make a furnace of pills. Now they are just cooked and eaten. The old Xuanmen would think it is a waste of resources.

So needless to say, Tiedan ate up all the essence and blood he had exhausted in the previous big move. Even Xing Yuanzhi, who had been slow-cooked for ten days, actually recovered some Qi, healed her wounds and prolonged her life, and was apparently getting better.

Well, I swallowed a golden pill, and from then on my fate was no longer determined by God. Shanren, after all, is not a mortal anymore.

Tiedan still had to chase the fox, so he didn't have time to stay here for too long. Seeing that the wind and snow had stopped, he wiped his sword and looked at Yuanzhi.
"Are you ready to die?"

After eating and drinking to her heart's content and recovering from her injuries, Xing Yuanzhi had calmed down and stabilized her mind.

"Thank you for saving me, Senior Brother. Now that I have survived this catastrophe, I should not take life or death lightly. However, my meridians are all broken and I am like a disabled person. Senior Brother, please take me with you for a while."

"..."

Tiedan had just sharpened his sword and looked reluctant.

Xing Yuanzhi quickly added,
"My Qingtang Sect has a secret book of heavenly clothing, which can transform the true Qi into silk and satin to protect the body. Now that I have recovered some Qi power, I can wrap myself around my brother's back and will not be a burden at all!
A hundred miles northeast of here is Jingshan Mountain. To the south you can see the Salt Lake and to the north you can see Shaoze. There is jade on the mountain and gold below. Green jade grows on the sunny side of the mountain and there are many sweet potatoes on the shady side of the mountain. Ochre grass and Qin pepper also grow there.

This mountain is the land vein of Kanzhou, with outstanding people and beautiful scenery. It is a place of Feng Shui for me, Wangwu Mountain, to open up and occupy. Therefore, it has been besieged by demons for days. This time, I came out to patrol the mountain and was ambushed and captured by the demons. Please take me back, the Xuanmen will definitely reward me with money to ward off the soldiers, and Wangwu Mountain will also reward me generously. I will remember my great kindness, brother!"

Although Tiedan still wanted to kill the fox, he was a rational person after all, and he could tell which was more important, venting his anger or getting the reward from Xuanmen.

After all, the purpose of coming to the north this time was to gain points and merit, so as to climb the Cloud Terrace and seize the bird position. Now that the other party has said this, I will help him to the end.

So Tiedan tied Xing Yuanzhi to his body and carried her on his back, then he flew through the snow and headed north riding the wind.

"But you've been arrested for ten days, and your fellow disciples didn't come to rescue you? It seems you don't have good relationships with people."

Could it be that he couldn't calculate if he was locked in that cauldron? Sure enough, it would be better to carry the cauldron with him...

Xing Yuanzhi was suddenly stabbed in the heart. She was silent for a moment and sighed softly.
"Perhaps the inner disciples have all been transferred back, and the outer disciples are willing but unable to do so..."

"Have the inner sect members gone back? What are so many monsters doing back there?"

"Uh, Senior Brother, don't you know yet? The Immortal Palace was defeated, the 80,000-strong army was defeated, and Genzhou is in danger..."

"Oh."

So Xing Yuanzhi recounted the embarrassing situation in the Immortal Palace, but Tiedan was not surprised at all.

Lost, that's normal.

Are you kidding? Who are Shi Jiao's subordinates? Who are the people in the Immortal Palace? He has seen both sides with his own eyes. There is no need to guess.

Don't worry about how capable Shi Jiao is. The people under him are cavalrymen trained by the great general's military tactics! The 130,000 guards of Genzhou were all annihilated and killed. You send a mere 80,000 young masters from the Beijing camp to make up the numbers, and you want to fight them head-on? Are you kidding?

Don't you think about who they are usually practicing with? Ugh, that's not a human! It's a demon! Look, even the demons coming over there were beaten by this group of cavalrymen and knew to stick together!

This is how it is these days. If you don't stick together, you will die. The days when you could travel the world alone with your sword at the Jindan level are almost over. Even if you are a true cultivator of the Xuanmen sect, you will have to fight when you encounter hundreds of demons. Even if you are as strong as Tiedan, it would be very difficult for him to fight hundreds of demons in one breath.

It seems that the Jindan realm can no longer keep up with the times, but if he were to overcome the tribulation and form an infant now, the Tiancan Sword Qi that Tiedan had worked so hard to comprehend would be wasted.

Luohou Jidu is too unpopular, and since it is covered by the Wuxiang Sword, it can be ignored for the time being, but the two Qi Jue of Guichen and Taiyang have been missing for too long. I have to gather the skills as soon as possible, at least refine the Taiji Five Qi and Yinyang Shuangyao first, and combine the seven swords into one to form a sword infant...

For a moment, Tiedan and Yuanzhi were both thinking about something and kept silent. However, Tiedan flew away with his flying form and soon flew across the snowy plains. In the distance, he saw a deep green lake. The grass and trees by the lake were all covered with frost, and the distant mountains across the bank were also covered with snow. However, the lake was not completely frozen yet.

This place is the salt pond south of Jingshan Mountain. There is brine on the surface of the lake basin all year round, and brine crystals are precipitated on the lake bottom on the shore. At a glance, it is a snow-white and crystal salt beach. Under the blue sky, the blue waves are rippling, and the snow is covered in silver, which is dazzling and beautiful.

“Although Jingshan is also a Feng Shui treasure land, this time, my Xuanmen is really targeting the salt pond.

The salt pond here has a huge output, which can not only meet the needs of Kan State, but also be exported to Qian, Gen and Dui States, and even merchants from the Western Regions come to buy.

Whoever can control this salt pond can greatly increase the sect's offerings and ease the financial and tax pressure."

After listening to Yuanzhi's introduction, Tiedan also understood.

"I said the soup wasn't quite as tasty, it turns out there was no salt!"

Yuanzhi: "..."

Tiedan looked around.
"But there are so many monsters..."

Well, don’t blame our fellow disciples for not coming to rescue us. There are really too many monsters around here.

After all, not only humans, but also animals, demons, and all living things need to eat salt to regularly replenish the body's needed minerals and trace elements. Otherwise, not eating salt for a long time may lead to electrolyte imbalance. To put it more bluntly, if you don't eat salt, you will have no strength.

So the demons from the north also came to this salt pond. The south bank of the salt pond was still okay, but once you get to the north bank, at the southern foot of Jingshan Mountain, you can see demons and monsters everywhere! The whole mountain is full of demon caves and nests!

The bizarre beasts and monsters were like an army stationed on the shore, densely covering the salt ponds on the north bank and surrounding the peaks of Jingshan Mountain.

These monsters did not kill each other. Not only did they form groups, they also took turns patrolling the salt lake in order. Some of them licked the ground and drank water directly from the salt pond, while others organized themselves to occupy human salt fields and dry salt around the lake on the north shore.

Even if he was as strong as Tiedan, who could kill thirty or fifty monsters with a breath of Qi, he still felt a little scared when he saw these tens of thousands of demons.

"You are so stubborn. You dare to come out to patrol the mountains? How did you get here before?"

Yuanzhi was also amazed and took a while to recover.
"This, this... There weren't so many demons ten days ago! How come there are so many!"

"Recently?"

Tiedan also frowned, and while riding the wind and wandering along the lakeshore, he made hand gestures and watched.

In such an urgent situation, the Xuanmen disciples in Jingshan naturally activated the large formation, sealed off the mountain and went into seclusion, waiting for help.

The demon did not attack forcefully. After all, using his physical body to ram into the Xuanmen killing formation was like hitting a rock with an egg. Besides, there was no practical significance in taking down the top of the hill as the salt was at the foot of the hill.

So only some big demons organized themselves and set up a formation to surround Jingshan Mountain. They sent war beasts to guard and patrol day and night, and trapped the Xuanmen disciples on the mountain. As for the endless tide of demons moving south from the north, it was like a river flowing into the sea, gathering at the Salt Lake, eating and drinking their fill, and then moving south in a group, like a huge black python crawling across the snowfield, stretching endlessly to the horizon.

Tiedan was so annoyed by the calculations.

This wave of monsters, if not just a few, there must be at least 100,000 of them! Moreover, there is definitely more than just this wave, Guixu is a huge place...

My goodness! The Immortal Palace can’t even defeat the Dagger Cavalry, how can they use their heads to fight so many monsters?
No, forget about the Immortal Palace, no wonder the Northern Kingdom's Kan soldiers are following the Duke of Zhongshan in rebellion! They are rushing into Genzhou all at once!
So many demons overflowed from Guixu! Across Yinshan Mountain! Coming straight down! They were just going to let the hundreds of thousands of border soldiers who couldn't even get enough food stop them? They were going to pay with their lives? Was that a joke! ?

No more.

It can't be stopped. It can't be stopped at all.

The Immortal Palace was unable to withstand even the charge of the Xiongqi, and was completely unable to resist the demon army that had frightened the Xiongqi into abandoning their homes and fleeing.

This can no longer be said to be a problem for the Asgardians alone, it is a matter of survival for the human race.

These demons will not only focus on Genzhou and the Central Plains, but will most likely also rush to Qianzhou and the Xuanmen territory. By then, the mountain people may be able to close the mountains and hide in caves for hundreds of years, and then show their heads after this wave of disasters is over.

But, how many hundreds of years do mortals have?
I am afraid that this time, not to mention Hebei, even the nine provinces of the Central Plains will be doomed. Probably the only way for the human race to survive is to flee southward, across Juelong Ridge, across Yunmengze, and all the way to the Ten Thousand Mountains in southern border.

"How many monks are there in Jingshan? Are there any Xuanmen Taoist temples nearby?"

Yuanzhi came back to her senses.

"Including me, there are thirty-six Wangwu Mountain Jindan disciples, and a Huashen ancestor is in charge. The other Yuanying realm uncles and uncles have all returned south.

Nearby... Three hundred miles to the southeast is the Yanzhi Mountain Priest Garden, which is guarded by the Beichen Sword Sect. There may be reinforcements!"

"southeast……"

Tiedan looked at the lakeside, where the demons were gathering in groups and surging like a black river, and shook his head.

"They are heading to Yanzhi Mountain. They can't come anymore."
