Chen Mu hid in the dark clouds and watched in amazement.
He found that although this group of sheep- and pig-like monsters were screaming and howling when burned by the secret technique of the Fire Bell, only a few of them actually fell into the sea of fire.
"These monsters are probably not very afraid of fire. Fortunately, they can't fly, otherwise they would be a big trouble."
"Although the Danshan Sutra is wonderful, the Yinfenghuolin secret method is not without limitations." Chen Mu's heart tightened a little.
"I really hope that General Hu will be as cautious as Shen Yan said, and not let the power of the Danshan Sutra go to his head."
After another half hour of continuous bombardment, the black cloud started moving again and landed on the edge of a vast grassland at dusk.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, Chen Mu felt the ground shaking from side to side, just like a person who had been on a boat for a long time and just stepped onto land.
The people around were also experiencing such a long flight for the first time, and they were all staggering as if they were drunk. As they were laughing and joking with each other, a burst of excited shouts suddenly rang out from the center of the camp.
Chen Mu was startled and didn't wait for him to activate the Di Listening Method to find out.
Then I saw a gray-white archway about seven or eight meters high falling from the sky and landing in the middle of the camp with a bang.
Soon, a gray mist began to spread in all directions.
God-blocking fog? The gate of hell!
Hu Cheng actually found the gate of hell? !
Chen Mu was immediately overjoyed.
You don’t have to worry about blood sacrifices to the Wangchuan River or hunting monsters from now on.
Don’t even think about fooling me and escaping quietly, old ghost Shen Yan!
"If Old Ghost Shen knew that the gate of hell that he had been longing for was easily found by Hu Cheng, he would definitely have a very happy expression!" Thinking of this, Chen Mu couldn't help but smile.
"Well... I must inform him of this good news!"
"Ha ha!"
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 470 Lie down
Thousand Lights City.
Faced with a table full of delicious dishes, Chen Mu stuffed a piece of barbecue into his mouth with a sad face, and began to sigh while chewing.
Shen Yan's eyes rolled, and he had a guess in his mind: "But what actions did Hu Cheng take?"
Chen Mu nodded silently and took a big mouthful of yellow sprout rice with a worried look on his face.
The corners of Shen Yan's mouth curled up slightly.
This is because he was frightened by the danger of being hunted by monsters!
I was just worrying about how to encourage this guy to snatch people and summon the Ghost Gate, and now the opportunity has come!
Don’t be impatient! Don’t force people to persuade you, guide them!
Shen Yan took a deep breath and tried to make his tone gentle and calm: "Hu Cheng was born in the City Lord's Palace Guard. In the past, he was mostly responsible for defense work and had little experience in leading troops on the march. Once he encountered a fight, casualties were inevitable due to improper dispatch."
"This is just the beginning. If we encounter powerful monsters later, it will be even more dangerous."
"For everyone's safety, I think it's best if we summon the Gate of Hell ourselves."
Chen Mu nodded: "You are right, General Hu is not as knowledgeable as you veterans. I am just worried that he is not experienced enough. If something goes wrong, we will all be doomed!"
"You have to be more careful these days, learn to adapt to circumstances, and make sure to protect your own safety." Shen Yan looked nervous and concerned.
Chen Mu sighed: "I can't help myself."
"After all, the gates of hell are in their hands. What can I do?"
Shen Yan was stunned at that time.
What do you mean?
Hu Cheng found the gate of hell?
Then wouldn't my plan of escaping through the gates of hell be doomed?
You are dumbfounded, old ghost!
Chen Mu looked at Shen Yan's expression and couldn't help but tremble with joy.
Then he tried hard to suppress the curled corners of his mouth and looked at Shen Yan sincerely.
"I want to give the Yumen Curse to the general to help him control the Gate of Hell."
"Help me think of a way to be more comprehensive."
"After all, this is for everyone's safety!"
When Shen Yan heard this, his face suddenly turned dark.
……
Chen Mu ate his meal slowly, chatting about this and that to tease Shen Yan, and enjoying the sight of his gloomy face.
Unfortunately, his happiness didn't last long before it was his turn to be upset.
Two days later.
In the rows of clay barracks newly built by the remaining auxiliary soldiers of the Ministry of Construction, wisps of black mist flew out from the doors and windows, gathered into black lines in mid-air, and then slowly rose into the air and merged into a long river of black smoke.
There were dozens of similar black smoke rivers throughout the Yinfeng tribe camp, like constantly wriggling blood vessels, sending a large amount of Yin spirit power into the center of the camp, condensing into a swirling cloud.
A black flag more than ten stories high is in the center of the vortex. As the Yin spirit's divine power is injected into it, silver lines flash continuously on the black flag.
This scene started in the morning and lasted until noon.
During this period, the black thin lines could not continue to break and disintegrate from time to time.
By noon, the last line of black smoke near the center of the camp dissipated, and the huge soul-calling banner turned into a shadow and slowly disappeared.
In the southwest corner of the camp, Chen Mu let out a long sigh with a grim look on his face.
I thought that after finding the gate of hell, I would have a few days of peace. I didn't expect that General Hu would be so anxious that he would forcefully activate the Danshan Sutra every day to extract all the power of the Yin spirits, just to refine the soul-calling banner.
"You don't even hold back a bit of strength. Aren't you afraid of the monsters coming to attack?" Chen Mu had a sour face.
"I can't be so passive." He frowned and thought.
The Danshan Sutra is divided into main and secondary volumes. The main volume talks about how to condense the mountain seal and how to mobilize the power of Yin spirits. The secondary volume talks about how to adjust one's own Qi and resonate with the mountain seal to provide the power of Yin spirits.
According to Shen Yan, this sutra was partly inspired by the soul-calling banner. After the qi energy was connected, the person who condensed the mountain seal would have a certain degree of control over the ghosts under his control. He could not decide life and death, but he could forcibly extract the ghosts' divine power.
"It's no problem for me to help you refine the soul-summoning flag."
"But forced extraction, and draining it every time, that won't do!"
Chen Mu brought up the gray wall.
Danshanjing: 5779/10000;
"The Gate of Hell is right before our eyes. We can hold off on reciting the Jade Gate Curse for a while and practice the Danshan Sutra to its full potential first."
Having made the decision, Chen Mu practiced during the day and at night. When the Yin Ling's divine power was exhausted, he hid in Qiandeng City and activated the Danshan Sutra himself, using the divine power of the other three thousand Yin Lings to gain experience. He even slowed down the Divine Embryo Origin Tracing.
In three consecutive days, the experience gained from Danshanjing reached 6,300.
At this time, even if Hu Cheng forcibly extracted the Yin spirit's power again, he would be able to cut it off on his own initiative.
"It seems that General Hu doesn't have a very good grasp of the Danshan Sutra." Chen Mu laughed and teased.
He did not stop there, but continued to practice.
Hu Cheng used the Danshan Sutra to practice the Soul Summoning Banner every day, and maybe he would improve again. In Chen Mu's mind, it was only a slight improvement, which was not very safe.
……
One night.
Chen Mu entered Qiandeng City, ready to continue to use the power of the three thousand Yin spirits to gain experience.
But as soon as he came out of the shadows, he saw Shen Yan next to the vegetable field. At this moment, he was lying in a rocking chair with a calm face.
A ball of jade dew was controlled by it to fly over the vegetable field, and while flying it sprinkled water on the vegetable field like a shower.
How strange!
Chen Mu became interested.
After learning that Hu Cheng had found the soul-calling banner and the Ghost Gate, Shen Yan hid in the small building all day and never showed up.
Every time Chen Mu went to call him for dinner, he would stare at Chen Mu with a sour face, which made Chen Mu, who wanted to continue to laugh at Lao Gui, quite disappointed.
Today, for some reason, Shen Yan walked out of the building and watered the vegetable garden so leisurely.
"What? Has the Military Inspector figured it out?" Chen Mu teased happily.
Shen Yan ignored him and continued to control the Jade Dew Ball with a calm expression.
Hey?! This old man has a bad temper!
Alas...that's not right!
"This rocking chair of yours is mine, right?" Chen Mu couldn't help but stare.
This old devil is so bold that he actually dares to touch my throne!
"Why, do you want me to do a somersault or a split?" Shen Yan glanced at Chen Mu with a mocking look on his face: "It's not like I haven't done it before! I'm not afraid!"
Chen Mu was really surprised this time.
In the past, Shen Yan's every word and action was full of hidden thoughts. This was the first time I had seen him being so poor and arrogant like he is now. No matter how Chen Mu looked at him, he felt that he had given up.
"Don't you want to run away?" Chen Mu asked with interest.
"Every time you enter Thousand Lights City, you immediately activate your secret control method. You never leave this long-haired body alone in Thousand Lights City."
"How can I run away if you don't even give me a chance?" Shen Yan glared at Chen Mu coldly.
"Yumen Curse, you can steal the Ghost Gate secretly, and then escape when I'm not paying attention." Chen Mu teased happily.
"You really know the key to the Yumen Curse." Shen Yan sighed.
Before, Chen Mu had been making excuses and refused to start summoning the Ghost Gate. Now thinking back, it was clear that he had seen through his little tricks and was deliberately delaying.
