Chapter 624 She Worth It (Middle and Lower)
It has been said before that the northernmost part of Daning is Liangzhou, north of Liangzhou is Tianshan Mountain, north of Tianshan Mountain is Ji State, and further north from Ji State is Dajue.
From Daning to Dajue, the north-south span is nearly 20,000 miles, which in the previous life could basically span half the earth.
But in this world, such a distance is not that exaggerated.
Whether it is Daning or Dajue, they are generally located in the southeastern region of the world. Even though they are not small countries, they are considered to be of medium level among the hundreds of countries in the world.
And since there are already so many human dynasties, it is naturally impossible for the demon race, as an important part of this world, to live only in the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Their main gathering places are called "demon lands", and there are fourteen of them in the world.
The Ten Thousand Mountains are counted as one place, ranking ninth among the Fourteen Demonic Lands.
There is an ice field to the east of Dajue, and there is also one there, ranking seventh.
It is not known what the ranking of the fourteen demon lands is based on, but it may be related to the strength of the demons gathered in the demon lands.
The mysterious black hole hidden in the mountain temple is connected to the "Seventh Demon Land" in Dajue.
“.”
The above is the main content of the information sent back by Xu Suisui.
Although there is no content about the "Fourteen Demonic Lands" in "The Peak of Martial Arts", Wei Changtian does not doubt the authenticity of this information.
On the other hand, Xu Suisui had no need to lie to him.
On the other hand, he had already verified the authenticity of the matter with Qingxian.
In Qingxian's reply, not only the existence of the Fourteen Demon Lands was confirmed, but also it was confirmed that there were indeed a large number of demons living in the Far East Snowfield of Dajue.
However, Qingxian didn’t know about the mysterious black hole, nor did he know more about the “Seventh Demon Land”.
In other words, although she is the demon king of the Ten Thousand Mountains, there is an "information barrier" between her and other demon lands, and they do not know much about each other.
This is not difficult to understand.
After all, this world is too big. Even human dynasties have almost no connection if they are a little far away from each other, let alone the demon land dominated by the demon race.
It is normal for everyone to live their own lives and never interact with each other until they die.
Just like Dajue and Daning.
If Dajue had not suddenly taken advantage of the situation to invade, the number of spies sent to Dajue by Daning in the next hundred years might not have been as many as in the past month.
Another example is Wei Changtian.
If Yang Liushi had not entered that mysterious black hole, perhaps he would never have known about the existence of the "Fourteen Demon Lands" until his death. From this perspective, although this world is big, the "level of cultivation" has not reached the height that matches such a world structure, which makes the connection between different parts of the world very weak.
Even for an expert like Old Zhang, it took him more than ten years to travel all the way from the White Palace in the far north of the world to Daning.
What about ordinary people? They may never get there in their lifetime. The world is too big and the speed is too slow, so the flow of information is naturally very sluggish, and everyone's vision is mostly limited to a small area.
After all, forces like Kuilong that can have twenty-two branches all over the world are rare.
If one wants to break through this restriction universally, then perhaps the practitioners in this world need to break through the shackles of the first level first, or even open the door to "becoming an immortal".
Three days later.
Looking at Nanfeng, the mountain temple.
Compared with a few days ago, the mountain god temple is no longer deserted. Soldiers in white armor are patrolling inside and outside. The main hall is under strict guard and no one is allowed to enter.
At noon, a figure appeared from the distant snow-capped mountains and ran straight to the mountain temple under the gaze of everyone.
The sunlight was blinding, mixed with the falling snow and falling on him, making him look very lonely in the vast white.
Soon, the patrolling soldier saw the face of the person coming.
They were all slightly stunned, and then someone immediately ran into the temple to report the news.
"General!"
"Master Wei is back!"
“.”
"Changtian, I have already done everything you asked me to do. Zhang San and Huang Sheng have been sending messages back on time these days, so I guess nothing unexpected has happened."
Many torches had been inserted in the rocky cave, and the flickering flames illuminated Liang Zhen's somewhat tired face.
As he spoke, he walked quickly forward, and soon he arrived at the cave which was several dozen feet in radius.
The moment he stood in the cave, Wei Changtian saw the dark and mysterious cave entrance.
“.”
He walked closer with narrowed eyes and looked at it for a long time without saying a word. After a while, he asked softly: "Uncle Liang, have the wealthy families who built the temple been examined?"
"It has been examined."
Liang Zhen nodded, signaled the guards to retreat with a look, and then answered truthfully:
"This temple was built fifty years ago, and the Snow God statue was also cast at that time."
“Although it was repaired several times later, it has never been recast.”
"The heads of those wealthy families who built the temple are now dead, and the younger generations in their families all said that they had never heard them talk about this cave entrance."
"I sent people to search their house, but found no clues."
Soon, Liang Zhen finished telling the results of the interrogation.
To put it bluntly, this hole had not been seen when the temple was built fifty years ago, and the people who built the temple did not set up any mechanism on the statue of the Snow God.
"Is it credible?"
Wei Changtian turned his head and asked, "Did you use torture?"
“No torture.”
Liang Zhen shook his head: "But it was Miss Li who personally examined it, so it should be true."
"Li Zimu's trial?"
Wei Changtian was stunned at first, then nodded slightly.
"Okay, I understand."
“.”
Dozens of torches were burning, illuminating the entire cave.
However, the entrance of the cave was still dark, and it looked like a black hole from which not even light could escape.
Staring at the cave entrance, Wei Changtian frowned slightly and his expression became more solemn.
Since it was Li Zimu who judged the case, the result should be fine.
Therefore, this cave entrance appeared after the mountain god temple was repaired, and the mechanism of the statue was also set up later.
If these things were not done by those big companies, they could only be done by people "over there".
"Uncle Liang."
Suddenly, Wei Changtian turned around and asked, "How many corpses are there in the cave?"
"One hundred and eighty-two in total."
Liang Zhen had obviously sent someone to count them a long time ago, and he immediately replied, "One hundred and thirty demon bones, and fifty-two human bones."
"One hundred and eight"
Wei Changtian's pupils shrank, and after a while he lowered his voice and continued, "Uncle Liang, I have figured out the origin of this cave."
"This is a teleportation array that connects to a snowy plain east of Dajue."
“.”
In just a few words, Wei Changtian repeated the information he had obtained from Xu Suisui.
Liang Zhen was naturally extremely shocked after hearing this, but before he could think about it carefully, Wei Changtian's next words made his hair stand on end in an instant.
"Uncle Liang, Xu Suisui also said that this formation is not particularly stable. An accident will occur approximately once every hundred times. No matter if it is a human or a demon, they will die within a few breaths after the transmission is completed."
"These corpses must have died here accidentally."
"And since there are 180, then..."
After a pause, Wei Changtian turned his gaze to the pile of neatly stacked bones in the corner.
"Uncle Liang."
"This means that in the past fifty years, nearly 20,000 people and monsters have come to Liangzhou from Dajue through this formation."
