Before Ji Ning left, he also went to Beishan Black Tiger Mansion to bid farewell to his friend Beishan Baiwei. Beishan Baiwei knew that Ji Ning was going out for a long time, and he had entrusted him for a long time. But to become a real man of the hour in this land, one must go through cruel tempering.
On a wilderness outside Anchan City.
"Ka Ka Ka Ka ~~~"
A green dragon puppet suspended in mid-air quickly transformed, and its body unfolded automatically, turning into a large dragon-headed boat.
Ji Ning looked up at the big dragon-headed boat, and looked at Mu Zishuo who was on the side in amazement: "Junior Brother Shuo, your puppet can still transform? It's amazing."
"You're a layman, you don't know the art of puppets at all. Transformation is just a small skill." Mu Zishuo was very proud, "Let's go, Yinglongwei's Anchan branch is in the Chilong Mountains. Although it's not far from here... But Flying with a magic weapon by yourself is still not as easy as letting a puppet fly by itself."
Ji Ning smiled and led Bai Shuize onto the dragon-headed boat.
Standing on the bow of the dragon-headed ship, Mu Zishuo was full of arrogance. The dragon-headed ship quickly flew into the clouds and was flying at high speed. There is no need to consume elemental power at all. Simply absorbing the vitality of the world is enough."
"I have heard Uncle Qionghua praise you a long time ago, saying how talented you are in the way of puppets. Most of the time in the academy is to discuss the way, but I have never seen your strength in this area, Junior Brother Shuo. This time I will join Ying Longwei... I have to take a good look." Ji Ning said with a smile.
"Just watch." Mu Zishuo raised his head, very proud and confident.
Ji Ning laughed.
Although I have met many brothers and sisters in the Black and White Academy for more than three years, there are also senior sisters Jiulian and Xueying who have good friendships. But among the group of fellow disciples, the one closest to Ji Ning's heart is this junior Mu Zishuo who started with him. Maybe because of his young age, junior Mu Zishuo has been immersed in the way of puppets since he was a child, and he doesn't have the memory of his previous life like Ji Ning. So it is very immature to be a human being in the world!
Simply put, Mu Zishuo is more childlike!
Like is like, anger is anger, you can't hide what's on your mind! When he was just getting started, Mu Zishuo lost two consecutive matches in the Lun Dao Hall, and Mu Zishuo became very angry. If it was a little deeper in the city, it wouldn't be so happy and angry. Strictly speaking... it's just too innocent.
It was very easy for Ji Ning to get along with such a junior.
"Here we are, Chilong Mountain Range is here." Mu Zishuo's eyes lit up and he pointed forward.
Ji Ning looked far away, and through the clouds and mists, he could see the rolling mountain range that looked like a dragon. The entire dragon-shaped mountain range was covered with a layer of fiery red. From a distance, it looked like a fiery red dragon! The aura is also extremely frightening, even more terrifying than the aura of the great formation blessed by the immortals of the past generations in the Black and White Academy for a long time.
"It is indeed one of the top two forces in Anchan County." Ji Ning exclaimed.
"The two most powerful forces, one is the Anchanhou Beishan Clan, and the other is the Anchan Branch of Yinglongwei." Mu Zishuo also exclaimed, "And this large formation is definitely far superior to mine just from a distance. Black and White Academy. As expected of Yinglongwei, this is just a branch. Thinking that every county in the endless land ruled by the Great Xia Dynasty has such a branch makes people shudder."
Ji Ning nodded: "Yes."
The Beishan Clan of Anchanhou, the entire Anchan County is its fiefdom. It has existed since the era of gods and demons until now, and it has naturally accumulated an unbelievable strength.
And Ying Longwei, on the surface, is extremely powerful, and can get support from other branches at any time, even the support of Ying Longwei headquarters in the 'King Capital of the Great Xia Dynasty'! Sending out hundreds of thousands of immortals was nothing more than a small matter to Ying Longwei who monitored the entire Great Xia Dynasty.
"It's because it's so powerful, it represents the Great Xia Dynasty! That's why we want to become Ying Longwei." Ji Ning said, "Let's go, let's go there."
"En." Mu Zishuo nodded.
The dragon-headed ship immediately swooped down and flew directly towards the Chilong Mountain Range.
…
The entire Chilong Mountain Range looks like a giant dragon, and the location of the dragon's head is the Yingke Peak.
Ji Ning and the others swooped down on the big puppet boat, and landed directly on a piece of flat ground on the Yingke Peak. Taking the Qinglong puppet away, Ji Ning, Bai Shuize, and Mu Zishuo all fell down. But at this time, two Zifu monks wearing fiery red armor came over in the distance, and yelled coldly: "Come to Chilong Mountain Range, what's the matter?"
Both Ji Ning and Mu Zishuo felt that the other party was domineering, but this is the branch of Yinglongwei Anchan, so they are not easy to be presumptuous.
"I'm here to join Ying Longwei." Ji Ning said.
"Oh?" The two purple mansion monks in fiery red armor glanced at each other, and the tall and thin monk at the head said coldly, "Then come with me."
Ji Ning, Mu Zishuo, and Bai Shuize also followed along.
A few people walked on the mountain road, but it was like flat ground. On this welcoming peak, some monks from the Zifu in fiery red armor can often be seen.
"Listen up, both of you." The tall and thin monk who led the way said coldly, "There are many people who want to join my Yinglongwei. But before you join, you are not Yinglongwei! So You have to obey the rules."
Mu Zishuo frowned.
Ji Ning was quite calm.
"Remember, one, you are not Yinglong Guards, so it is forbidden to fight with your hands within the Chilong Mountain Range. Once you violate it, you will be killed without mercy!"
"Second, the only place you can go in the entire Chilong Mountain Range is this Yingke Peak. If you trespass on other places, you will be killed without mercy!"
"Third, you can't break the formation prohibition on Yingke Peak, and those who violate it will still be killed without mercy."
After finishing speaking, the tall and thin man didn't even look at Ji Ning and the two of them.
Mu Zishuo's expression turned ugly, and he said via voice transmission: "Senior Brother Ji Ning, Ying Longwei has too many rules and is too arrogant. We are also black and white school disciples, and they treat us like this."
"Not to mention the disciples of the Black and White Academy, even the disciples of the Beishan Clan of Marquis Anchan. It's useless here." Ji Ning has read the information compilation and knows some rules of Ying Longwei.
…
Ji Ning, Mu Zishuo, and Bai Shuize followed all the way, and soon came to the back mountain of Yingke Peak, where there were wooden houses and stone houses scattered here and there.
"Look." The tall and thin monk pointed at the large number of wooden houses and stone houses from a distance, "The people living in those houses are all going to join Yinglongwei, and these stone and wooden houses are also left by some predecessors who came to join Yinglongwei in the past. You can choose any one that is vacant to live temporarily. When you gather enough people, you can go to Prison Mountain and Great Desolate Marsh."
After finishing speaking, the tall and thin monk turned his head and left quickly.
"Who is this person, so arrogant." Mu Zishuo muttered.
"It's Yinglongwei's inner guard reserve army." Ji Ning and Beishan Baiwei had a lot of contact and knew a lot.
"Ying Longwei's inner guard?" Mu Zishuo asked in surprise, "Ying Longwei also has inner guards?"
Ji Ning nodded: "Of course, those of us who joined Yinglongwei are very free. We usually wander around, and occasionally appear when we need to perform missions! But Yinglongwei still needs some long-term stationing or some very trustworthy military guards. , so there is Yinglongwei Neiwei!"
"Ying Longwei's internal guards are like soldiers, with a strict system and many rules. They are not as free as us." Ji Ning said, "You know, Ying Longwei has a reserve army! Ordinary internal guards, mostly Selected from the reserve army."
"Oh!" Mu Zishuo was stunned.
"Although their freedom is limited, they are the most trusted by the Great Xia Dynasty. They can learn more supernatural powers, secret techniques, and get a lot of treasures from Yinglongwei. Even if we become Yinglongwei, We also need to carry out the mission in order to get some benefits." Ji Ning said, "If there is a loss, there is a gain."
Mu Zishuo nodded repeatedly: "I don't want to be that inner guard, there are a lot of rules, where is cultivating immortals, it is suffering."
"Everyone chooses differently." Ji Ning sighed with emotion, "Naturally, those with high talents have more choices... they can be free. But those with less talents naturally give up some other things in exchange for some top methods, secret techniques, etc."
"Yes, that's right." Mu Zishuo nodded thoughtfully.
The two walked forward while talking.
Those stone houses and wooden houses are very simple and generally have a small yard and a residence, and some of them have already lived in immortals.
"That's it." Mu Zishuo pointed to a field of weeds in front of him, and with a distant finger, a stream of light flew out, and the stream of light rapidly expanded and changed on the ground, and soon formed a rather elegant courtyard.
"The mansion of the puppet?" Ji Ning was surprised.
The way of puppet is indeed mysterious. Whether it is chariots, warships, people, beasts, mansions, or even cities, etc., they can all be made through the way of puppets.
"Who knows how long it will take to go out and grind. It's not safe in the wilderness. The 'Muyue Mansion' I made by myself would take a long time for even real people from Wanxiang to break in." Mu Zishuo said proudly.
"Not bad." Ji Ning walked into it with a smile.
…
Thus, Ji Ning, Mu Zishuo, and Bai Shuize all lived in this 'Muyue Mansion'. As time passed, some immortal cultivators in the wooden and stone houses next to them also found that one of them was living in the puppet house. of the mansion. But everyone didn't say much, but waited silently.
In the early morning hours after Ji Ning and the others came here for more than a month.
"Everyone!" A majestic voice resounded like thunder in every stone house and wooden house. Even the puppet mansion made by Mu Zisuo couldn't stop the voice. The voice directly exploded in the ears of Ji Ning, Mu Zisuo and Bai Shuize .
"It's time to go to Prison Mountain and Great Wilderness."
The sound is rolling.
Ji Ning felt a suffocation in his chest, and his expression changed: "What a terrifying strength, such strength... the one who can make me feel so irresistible should be an immortal." With this feeling of no resistance, it should be a fairy.
Ji Ning and Mu Zisuo both came out, Mu Zisuo waved his hand, and all the puppets were put away.
At this moment, figures also walked out of other stone houses and wooden houses, all wanting to join Ying Longwei.
