Mind Cultivation Record

"Old man Ou, did Ziyi Hou get kicked in the head by a donkey when he was a child?"

"This... I have never heard of such a thing!"

"That's why when I went out today, my head was squeezed by the door!"

While speaking, Xiao Mian did not forget to collect the storage bags of the monks who were killed by Guihai. Although he knew that these people's storage bags would not contain treasures, mosquitoes, no matter how small they are, are still meat!

Looking back, he saw Ou Haiyang holding the storage bag in his hand and looking at him stupidly. Xiao Mian was stunned for a moment, and then he motioned to Ou Haiyang to open the storage bag and take a look. He wanted to see: the purple-clothed Hou eagerly came to force it in How many spiritual stones should I give him? ?

After swallowing, Ou Haiyang opened the storage bag. The next moment, he swallowed again - a hundred thousand spirits! A total of 100,000 pieces of middle-grade spiritual stones!

"Hey! That's quite generous..."

Despite Xiao Mian's understatement, he was slightly shocked in his heart.

Judging from the number of spirit stones alone, one hundred thousand spirit stones would not be in Xiao Mian's eyes, but one must know that these were picked out from the mouths of quasi-Nascent Soul monks like Ziyihou. If Ziyihou was really just here for a walk. For a cutscene, why spend such a large sum of spiritual stones?

Is it possible that the Purple Yihou has some ulterior motives?

While shaking his head and smiling bitterly, seeing Ou Haiyang holding the storage bag stupidly and not knowing why, Xiao Mian came up with a plan to make a mistake.

"Old man Ou! Didn't you say before that you needed to pay one hundred thousand souls to cross the Jade Gate? Isn't this a coincidence! It turns out that the Marquis in Purple Yi is here to see you off in old age!"

"This..., Young Master Xiao, please don't joke with the light on! Although this old man is dim, he still knows the right and wrong. These 100,000 pieces of middle-grade spiritual stones are clearly..." Ou Haiyang's face changed slightly when he said this, Xiao Mian said He stuffed the storage bag into the opponent's arms and said simply and decisively: "Previously, the old man was driven out of the Lotte Inn by Ziyihou's evil slaves. It is expected that Ziyihou came to apologize in person after knowing about it. It's just that He is a dignified quasi-Nascent Soul monk who always finds it difficult to speak, so I will give you the hundred thousand souls!"

"this……"

"I just accept it! When I arrive at Yumen Tianguan in the future, after delivering one hundred thousand spirits, I can enter Zhongzhou to find your grandson..."

Xiao Mian's words made Ou Haiyang's old face change again and again. Ou Haiyang has been able to practice for more than four hundred years without any harm. How can he be a person who has no understanding of human affairs?

Even if Xiao Mian went to hell, he wouldn't believe that Zi Yihou would make such a trip for a bad old man like him.

As for these 100,000 pieces of middle-grade spiritual stones, it was clearly the Purple Yihou who wanted to please Xiao Mian and the two of them. Logically speaking, it was strange enough for a quasi-Nascent Soul monk to please a middle-level Jindan monk, but Xiao Mian was determined not to want it. Isn't it even weirder for these hundred thousand spirits?

It's just that Ou Haiyang's main intention is to enter Zhongzhou and look for his grandson. The one hundred thousand souls are just enough for him to pass through the Yumen Tianguan. Seeing Xiao Mian's firm words, it seems that he will never accept the one hundred thousand souls from Zi Yihou. He is so determined. I accepted it half-heartedly.

If he and Ou Haiyang really arrived at Yumen Tianguan and handed over the hundred thousand spirits, he would settle in Zhongzhou. Even if Xiao Mian and the others regretted it, the spirit stones would no longer be in his hands.

After a while, the three of them were on the road again.

In the next few days, Xiao Mian and the others, led by Ou Haiyang, went straight to Yumen Tianguan.

Fortunately, Ou Haiyang also said that Conglingfang City was not far from Yumen Tianguan, but he didn't expect that this journey would only take nine days. With the speed of three people traveling thousands of miles a day, these nine days would be enough to cover tens of thousands of miles. Ridge, tens of thousands of miles is not that far away.

Finally, at dusk that day, the three of them arrived at Yumen Tianguan as they wished.

Reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun, Xiao Mian looked up and saw a towering mountain range stretching from north to south, blocking the three people. Facing the three people was a tall city gate made of white jade. I think that is the Yumen Tianguan!

"Thanks to the help of the two young heroes, the old man finally saw the Jade Gate Tianguan again... In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed..." Ou Haiyang was sighing to himself, Xiao Mian asked casually: "Old man, why don't you Going to Zhongzhou with Lingsun? Is it better for you two to live together instead of living hard in the smoky Congling Market? "

"Xiao Shaoxia said it lightly! Whenever I, a monk from Xishu Province, wants to enter Zhongzhou, he must first pass through the Yumen Heavenly Pass. If he wants to pass through the Yumen Heavenly Pass, he must hand over one hundred thousand souls! I have only saved enough for ten years after practicing hard all my life. Ten thousand yuan of souls is only enough for my grandson to pass alone! Originally, when I returned to Congling Market, I planned to prepare another hundred thousand yuan of souls, but..."

With a sigh, Ou Haiyang stopped talking, showing his old and frustrated attitude.

In Xiao Mian's eyes, a hundred thousand pieces of middle-grade spiritual stones were nothing more than this, but in the eyes of ordinary Jindan cultivators, they were almost all his wealth, just like this was the case for Ou Haiyang.

After hundreds of years of hard training, he saved a hundred thousand souls, but it was only enough to send his grandson to Zhongzhou, while he himself lingered in Congling Market, closing his eyes and waiting to die.

"Old man! In this Yumen Tianguan, is the only way to pay one hundred thousand souls?"

Ou Haiyang, who was feeling sorry for himself, was stunned when he heard this. Seeing Xiao Mian looking at him seriously, he remembered that this young man dared to challenge Zi Yihou.

"That's not true! There are actually three passages through Yumen Tianguan! The Yumen Tianguan in front of us is the city gate known as the 'Golden Road'. To cross this golden road, each monk must pay a fee of 100,000 yuan. In addition to this golden road, there are two other ways to pass through Yumen Tianguan, one is Climbing Cloud Ladder and the other is Dragon Tiger Pond!”

"Please give me your advice without hesitation!"

"Xiao Shaoxia, you're being polite! I know everything I know!" After saying this, Ou Haiyang pointed at the north-south mountain that was like a fire in the afterglow of the setting sun, and said: "The reason why Yumen Tianguan is so majestic is that It is because of the existence of this "Tiansuo Mountain" that Tiansuo Mountain itself is not a natural moat. However, the powerful people in Zhongzhou were afraid that a large number of monks from Western Shu State would pour into Zhongzhou, so they arranged the air-forbidden method on Tiansuo Mountain. Even the Golden Core cultivators cannot fly over the Tiansuo Mountain. As a result, the natural chasm will be established!"

Xiao Mian raised his eyes and saw that Tiansuo Mountain was like a horizontal lock, cutting off the border between Congling and Zhongzhou. Looking from the north to the south, Tiansuo Mountain stretched straight to the sky. Unexpectedly, even at the two ends of the horizon, Tiansuo Mountain It must also be a man-made natural moat.

In this way, only one man can guard the Yumen Tianguan, and no one can open it.

"Tiansuo Mountain is not only equipped with forbidden air methods, but also blessed with geomagnetic arrays, so that some monks who have practiced earth escape cannot pass through the underground. Within the scope of Tiansuo Mountain, the gravity experienced by the monks will Several times or even ten times or a hundred times, if the monks can cross Tiansuo Mountain on foot, they can enter Zhongzhou freely!"

"Is this the climbing ladder that the old man said? Humph! What a good plan! It is expected that the magic circle restriction on Tiansuo Mountain must be of a high level. Those who can cross the mountain on foot must be talented. With such level The monk's qualifications will probably make him one of the best in the future, and he will be successful only after entering Zhongzhou!" After revealing the purpose of climbing the ladder, Xiao Mian turned to ask: "Climbing the ladder is nothing more than the so-called Dragon and Tiger Pool. What is it again?”

"Dragon Tiger Pond! That is a Shura killing ground..."

Even Ou Haiyang couldn't help but change his face slightly when he talked about Longhutan, and then slowly told the two of them what he knew about Longhutan.

Everyone knows that Zhongzhou is prosperous, and because of this, everyone flocks to it.

As time goes by, Zhongzhou's entry requirements for monks migrating from the four states have become more and more strict, even harsh. Just like now, the monks from Xishu Province want to enter Zhongzhou. Regardless of other things, they must first hand over the toll of 100,000 medium-grade spiritual stones!

Of course, it is precisely because of this that Yumen Tianguan has the necessity of its existence.

It's just that on the south side of Yumen Tianguan, three thousand miles away, there is a natural fracture on the mountain wall of Tiansuo Mountain that stretches from north to south. Even if the powerful people of Zhongzhou work hard, they cannot repair it. Therefore, Tiansuo Mountain There was a gap in the mountain line.

Since Zhongzhou must strictly guard the Yumen Tianguan, it is naturally impossible to allow this crack to exist. Finally, after brainstorming and making slight changes, this became another way for Zhongzhou to absorb outstanding talents from Western Shuzhou - Shura Killing Dragon. Tiger Pool!

There, there are swamps, ravines, forests and overgrown weeds.

There, monsters are ferocious, ghosts are rampant, demons dance wildly, and dangers abound.

This is the Dragon Tiger Pool. As long as the monks can go straight through the Dragon Tiger Pool and safely cross the natural crack of Tiansuo Mountain, they can come to the other side of Tiansuo Mountain - Zhongzhou!
