After hearing Shennong Hu’s explanation, Liang Yan was a little puzzled and frowned: “What does the mountain master mean by this? Does it mean that your level will decline if you leave Shennong Mountain?”

"You are right."

Shennong Hu gave a bitter smile and said slowly: "This matter is a long story. After I received the message from Tiangong City, I was filled with worries. If Juntian City was destroyed, I would not be able to see my ancestors.

And if you want to keep Juntian City, you must have a saint sitting in charge, so two hundred years ago, I used elixirs to induce calamity in an attempt to forcibly break through and become a saint."

Hearing this, Liang Yan frowned slightly.

In fact, there is no need for Shennong Hu to say more. The result is obvious. This breakthrough must have ended in failure.

It's just that each of the "three disasters and nine disasters" is more severe than the last, especially the third disaster after becoming a "sub-sage". It is said that it is more dangerous than the previous "two disasters and nine disasters" combined. Once the breakthrough is successful, you can become a saint.

Those who achieve this status will enjoy infinite life span, while those who fail are almost always physically and mentally destroyed. In history, no one has ever been heard of surviving.

Shennong Hu was not a saint, and his breakthrough must have failed. But since the breakthrough failed, why did he not die and still survive to this day?

"You wonder how I survived, right?"

Shennong Hu looked at Liang Yan, and after a moment he slowly said: "The reason why I can survive is all because of the Xuan Mizhu!"

"Xuan Mizhu?" Liang Yan was surprised and asked subconsciously: "This magic weapon has such a power that defies the heavens?"

"Fellow Taoist is unaware of something"

Shennong Hu seemed to have recalled the past, and said leisurely: "When the Langhuan Continent was first established, the Queen Mother of the West led the 'Xianting' army to encircle and suppress them. In order to protect the monks on this continent, the ancestors had no choice but to sacrifice themselves.

The original power is injected into the Xuan Mizhu to strengthen the boundary of Langhuan Continent."

"It turns out that this magic weapon contains the original power of a saint!" Liang Yan's face showed a look of surprise.

"more than!"

But Shennong Hu shook his head and said: "In fact, there were two saints in Langhuan Continent back then! In addition to Shennong Tuo, there was also his Taoist companion Ling Zi, but Ling Zi was the killer of Kunwu Immortal Court, and he practiced

She left a legacy of magic skills before her death, preventing future generations from recording her affairs, so there is no record of Ling Zi in Shennong Mountain. But when the Queen Mother of the West’s army came to the territory, Ling Zi chose to die with Shennong Tuo, and

My own original power is injected into the Xuan Mizhu."

After listening to Shennong Hu's explanation, Liang Yan finally understood why there was Ling Zi's inheritance in the Xuan Mizhu.

"This magic weapon contains the original power of the two saints. No wonder it can save the mountain master's life at a critical moment!"

Liang Yan sighed, and at the same time secretly thought in his heart: "Although Ling Zi does not let future generations record her affairs, she also wants to find a successor for herself. Over the years, there must be more than one Wuxin who has entered the underground palace, but the real one

Maybe Wu Xin is the only one that suits her."

Shennonghu didn't know what he and Wuxin had experienced after entering the underground palace. Hearing this, he smiled slightly and said, "They said they saved my life, but in fact they only saved half my life."

"how do I say this?"

"Although Xuan Mizhu saved my life, it also restricted my freedom. Ever since I failed to cross the tribulation and was pulled back from the brink of death by Xuan Mizhu, I can only stay near Xuan Mizhu. Once I stay away from this

If a magic weapon is used, the injuries on my body will occur. The farther away the distance, the more serious the injuries will be. It can range from falling into the realm to falling to death or disappearing!"

"It's actually like this!"

Liang Yan's face was slightly surprised.

"Haha, not surprising."

Shennong Hu sighed and said: "The 'Three Disasters and Nine Disasters' are the laws of heaven. How can they be broken so easily? In fact, I should have died a long time ago. I can only survive by relying on the Xuan Mizhu, but the Xuan Mizhu comes from the Langhuan Continent."

The core of the barrier cannot leave Shennong Mountain, which means that I cannot leave Shennong Mountain. This time, the Yeming Sect learned this, so they tried every means to lure me down the mountain, and then used space magic weapons to teleport me away, otherwise

With the help of Bone Star Officer and Ghost Star Officer, even with the help of the 'Twelve Element Magnetic Array', can they trap me?"

Liang Yan couldn't help but feel a little emotional after hearing the other party's explanation.

Although Shennong Hu managed to save his life, he could only spend his whole life in Shennong Mountain. The "three disasters and nine disasters" were so dangerous and unpredictable that even with a treasure like the Xuan Mizhu, it would be difficult to change his destiny.

"I have already answered the first question for you. Do you have any other questions, fellow Taoist?" Shennong Hu asked again.

After hearing this, Liang Yan pondered for a moment and suddenly asked: "Does the mountain master know about the 'Nine Saints Slaying Immortals'?"

"Nine Saints Slaying Immortals. This happened a long time ago."

Shennong Hu Youyou said: "Back then, the Queen Mother of the West called herself the 'Kunlun Immortal'. The 'immortal' in the 'Nine Saints Slaying Immortals' certainly refers to the Queen Mother of the West. Our ancestor Shennong Tuo spent his entire life wanting to overthrow the 'Immortal Court'.

, changing the pattern of the Antarctic Immortal Continent. Although he never saw this ending until his death, he practiced medicine all over the world, passed on the fire, and saved many seeds of hope. Later, the Nine Saints rose up to encircle and suppress the Kunwu Immortal Court. That battle was won

In the darkness, the Queen Mother of the West finally died, but the Nine Saints also suffered heavy casualties. It is said that only two or three people survived in the end."

Having said this, he glanced at Liang Yan and continued: "Langhuan Continent is closed to the outside world. I don't know all the names of the 'Nine Saints', but there is one person I can be sure of, and that is the lord of your Wushuang City, Linghu.

Cypress!”

"Lord of Linghu City?"

Liang Yan frowned slightly.

Like Wu Xin, he did not watch the history of that year, but only learned some things from Wu Xin's narration.

In that memory, Linghu Bai was just a little-known junior. Although she was a bit amazing and talented, she didn't pay too much attention to it inadvertently. She only told Liang Yan the general story of what happened, so Liang Yan didn't

Know the existence of Linghu Bai.

"Yes, your Linghu City Lord is one of the few survivors among the 'Nine Saints'. After the destruction of Kunwu Immortal Court, he single-handedly founded Wushuang City, and in the long years that followed, the heroes of Antarctic Immortal Continent merged

Since then, the order of seven mountains and twelve cities has been established one after another. Although there are constant disputes in the new order, no one can be the dominant one. The constraints and balance between each other have created an era in which hundreds of schools of thought flourish."

"I see."

Liang Yan nodded, looking thoughtful, and after a moment he asked again: "Mountain Master, do you know Nangong Xiao?"

"Nangong Xiao?"

Shennong Hu pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "I have never heard of this person."

"Does the mountain master know who the founder of Shenxiao Mountain is?" Liang Yan asked again.

"It is said that there are two founders of the Shenxiao Mountain sect, one is named Lu Changge and the other is named Ying Wuhuan. Although these two people are from the same sect, they practice different thunder methods. Among them, Lu Changge practices the 'Evil-Slaying Divine Thunder'

, Ying Wuhuan practiced the 'Taiyin Divine Thunder'. In addition to these two thunder methods, it is said that there was also a 'Wugou Divine Thunder'. Neither of them had perfected it, but they kept the exercise books. Later, Lu Changge crossed over.

After surviving the 'three disasters and nine difficulties' and attaining the status of saint, Ying Wuhuan's lineage gradually disappeared from everyone's sight."

After hearing this, Liang Yan frowned slightly.

"Lu Changge and Ying Wuhuan"

This was different from his previous guess. He thought that the founding founder of Shenxiao Mountain was Nangong Xiao, but he didn't expect that it was these two people.

But after thinking about it again, it seems that this is reasonable.

Although he did not experience the "Nine Saints Slaying the Immortals" back then, he knew that that battle must have been extremely brutal! Although Nangong Xiao retained his last breath, he was still running out of gas. How could he still have time to establish a sect?

At the last moment of his life, he chose to return to Shennong Mountain to visit Shennong Tuo, who originally gave him life.

As for Lu Changge and Ying Wuhuan, they should be the two apprentices accepted by Nangong Xiao. Nangong Xiao must have put a lot of thought into it, hoping that they would be able to master the three types of lightning like him, but their qualifications were limited.

, has never been able to achieve this step.

If you say that, few people should know about Nangong Xiao? Even the descendants of Shennong Tuo in front of them don't know that there is a secret room in the underground palace?

Thinking of this, Liang Yan felt a little relieved.

After all, he got benefits from other people's forbidden areas. This "Shenxiao Seal" is not like Ling Zi's inheritance. Wuxin passed through many tests, got Ling Zi's approval, and finally obtained the inheritance.

And this "Shenxiao Seal" is just a legacy of Nangong Xiao. Logically speaking, the descendants of the Shennong Mountain lineage or the monks of the Shenxiao Mountain are more qualified to get it than themselves.

Since Shennong Hu didn't know Nangong Xiao's existence at all, Liang Yan wouldn't say much.

"Thank you, Mountain Master, for clearing up the confusion, but I still have a question."

Liang Yan bowed his hand to Shennong Hu, then changed the topic and said with a smile: "If I guess correctly, Qingqing shouldn't be your daughter, right?"

These words were very sudden. Shennong Hu was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed.

He stared into Liang Yan's eyes, as if he wanted to see something from the other person's eyes, but Liang Yan's face was always calm and there didn't seem to be any waves.

The two sides were silent for a long time, and Shennong Hucai said solemnly: "Why do you think so? If Qingqing is not my daughter, what else could she be?"

"You also said 'what', maybe Qingqing is not a human at all?"

"you!"

Shennong Hu stared at Liang Yan, looking a little annoyed.

But it didn't take long for him to calm down, and the anger on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a look of despair between his eyebrows.

"How did you know?" Shennong Hu asked softly.

"What initially made me suspicious was Qingqing's special ability. When she was in Longding Mountain, she used her cultivation in the Juyuan Realm to hide it from Zheng Qiu in the Tongxuan Realm, and afterwards she saved so many monks in one go

, even if she is of Shennong blood, this is too unbelievable."

"Also, no matter how badly Qingqing is injured, unless she locks her soul, she will automatically recover at dawn the next day. She attributes this to one of the seven unique skills of Shennong Mountain, the 'nine moves against the pulse', but I am not very

I believe, if my guess is correct, no one practices the 'Nine Forms of Reverse Meridian' except her. This is just your excuse to deceive Qing Qing."

Liang Yan spoke eloquently, but Shennong Hu did not say a word and looked away, as if he was not listening attentively.

"Of course, what finally convinced me was the battle in the underground palace."
