Red Mansion: Incense and God Road, starting from the City God of Shenjing

Chapter 12: Anping Mountain Black Wind Meets Ghosts and Gods
230 miles south of Shenjing City

Anping Mountain

It is said that Daqian Taizu once led his army here to destroy the last imperial guard of the previous Yuan Dynasty, the Qiexue Army, and established his rule over the world in one fell swoop.

Therefore, it was named Anping.

The mountains are steep and rugged.

Easy to defend but difficult to attack.

It was once one of the most common routes for southern merchants to enter the city of Shenjing.

But three years ago, a group of black bandits came from nowhere on Anping Mountain.

There are eight hundred people.

They come and go like the wind and have attacked passing caravans many times.

The road gradually became deserted.

It is one of the gateways deep in the capital, but no government troops have come to attack it for three years.

That in itself can explain a lot of things.

When Jia Cong arrived at Black Wind Mountain, only half an hour had passed.

The sword light fell silently on the hillside.

The innate warriors of the third realm have the ability to stay in the air for a short period of time thanks to their martial arts qi.

Most of the cultivators of the Xuanmen Qi-refining and spiritual cultivation practice have magic weapons or learn a flying spell.

But the speed is also limited.

The reason why Jia Cong could arrive so quickly was, after all, due to his magical powers and his evolutionary means.

Be light and protect your body!
When they left Shenjing City, they directly summoned the image of the gods.

The fierce gale above the nine heavens could not shake the gods' appearance in the slightest.

When they reached the mountainside, Jia Cong was no longer in a hurry.

Every step up the mountain was five or six feet long.

Looks like a ghost.

This mountain road has obviously been repaired by someone.

However, it is not a gentle repair, but is deliberately made steep.

To add to the danger, there are traps set from time to time on the road.

Jia Cong easily avoided them all.

After a while, we were close to the top of the mountain.

Not far away stood a brightly lit mountain stronghold, with a five-meter-high wooden wall connected to the mountain walls on both sides.

There were more than ten bandits guarding and watching over the place.

There were torches burning on both sides of the door.

It illuminated a large open space of more than ten feet in radius.

Jia Cong hid in the shadows and used his divine power.

"Twelve visible sentries and twelve hidden sentries!"

"Military means?"

"That's right. I can live here and no one will attack me..."

Jia Cong understood.

This is most likely the hidden glove of some powerful person in Shenjing City.

Such guarding, with both visible and hidden sentries in place.

Plus the terrain is complex.

Even if the army's top spies were sent "by night", they would not be able to eliminate them all at once.

It is inevitable to alert the enemy.

But it meant nothing to Jia Cong.

He stretched out his hand and a sword energy was shot out.

Before falling into the place where the lights shine.

The sword energy was directly divided into twenty-four.

At the same time, the guards on the wooden wall of the mountain stronghold and the twelve secret sentries hiding in various places had a three-inch wound on their foreheads.

Killed at the same time!

Then Jia Cong raised his right hand and the sacred seal appeared.

A dim golden light flashed, and a group of armored ghost soldiers appeared in front of them.

"Go in and kill all the bandits!"

Jia Cong said calmly.

The ghost soldiers received the order silently and charged towards the mountain stronghold.

The ghost soldiers appeared in broad daylight, and only warriors could deal with them.

But at night, it becomes a solid ghost body, haunting souls and taking lives.

Unless one breaks through the second realm of martial arts and enters the acquired realm, one can refine the acquired true Qi.

Or the army forms a battle formation and attracts evil spirits.

Otherwise, ordinary weapons cannot hurt it at all.

Under the leadership of the three ghost soldiers, each ghost soldier transformed into evil ghosts and pounced on the houses in the mountain village.

Pass through the wall.

Most of the sleeping bandits have the strength of the third to fourth level of body building.

They can be considered an elite force in the Beijing camp.

Unfortunately, this time they encountered an asymmetric attack. Jia Cong waited outside the camp for a while and saw that the ghost soldiers were moving smoothly.

Without paying much attention, he flew up and headed straight for a conspicuous lobby in the center of the village.

……

at the same time
Juyi Hall
"What nine-year-old soul refining!"

"My young prince has really been in Shenjing City for too long. He has lost all his courage."

"Everyone knows that there are only a few idiots left in the Ning and Rong mansions. What can we do even if we rob their caravan?"

"Brother, I suggest you and I enter the city under cover of night."

"You go to Ningguo Mansion, and I'll go to Rongguo Mansion. It only takes half an hour to kill his entire family!"

A reckless man with his upper body bare was complaining dissatisfiedly.

"We brothers have to stay here in the middle of the night... What bad luck!"

"Alright, second brother, stop talking. Since the prince has given the order, I will just obey."

"Also, don't call me little prince anymore. The old prince saved us and raised us with great care..."

"I know, I know……"

"You keep saying the same thing again. My ears are getting callused."

"I didn't say I was disloyal to the young prince."

The reckless Chinese character waved his hand in dissatisfaction.

As he was speaking, there was a sudden noise outside.

A bandit ran in in panic.

The eldest boss was startled: "What's all the fuss about?"

"Ghost, it's haunted!"

"Captain, Deputy Captain, outside... I woke up in the middle of the night and found..."

"Many brothers have been seduced..."

The bandit was so frightened that his speech was incoherent.

As soon as he finished speaking, he vomited bile and died on the spot.

But the two of them still got the general idea of ​​the matter from just a few words.

"Go out and take a look!" The boss's expression was grim.

The existence of ghosts and evil spirits is no secret among the upper echelons of Daqian.

However, these Black Wind Bandits were called bandits, but they were actually a military camp.

There are so-called eight hundred men, but actually there are as many as one thousand two hundred. Each one of them is an elite soldier in the army with strong yang energy.

How dare an ordinary evil spirit get close?

The two of them were cautious and vigilant and hadn't even waited out the door.

A sword energy appeared, brushed past the noses of the two men, and silently plowed a mark more than two feet deep on the ground.

The two were frightened to death.

"who?"

"My Lord, Captain, and the swordsmanship in the army..."

"interesting!"

"Didn't your master tell you my identity before sending you to test me?"

Jia Cong put his hands behind his back.

Stroll into the lobby leisurely.

She was dressed in gorgeous clothes with fluttering sleeves, showing her noble temperament.

With the "splitting sword" hanging around the waist, it looks like a spring outing.

"Rongguo Mansion? Jia Cong?"

The eldest boss was so surprised and confused that he didn't even realize that Jia Cong was just outside the door.

"Two acquired ninth levels. No, they are a little stronger than the average acquired ninth level."

"What a pity. He must have suffered a hidden injury in the past, and overdrawn his potential in advance in exchange for improvement."

"Otherwise, you two should have a chance to break through to the Xiantian realm."

Jia Cong shook his head and casually told the details of the two brothers.

His expression was thoughtful and he had something planned in his mind.

It made the two of them feel extremely terrified.

What kind of horrific method is this?
"Your master is using you to test me. He must have some trick up his sleeve."

"Use it now, otherwise you won't have another chance to terrorize me in the future."

The two looked at each other.

"Second brother, take it out!"

"It's time to repay your kindness!"

The boss gritted his teeth.

They each took out a dark red pill.

It was the size of a fingertip and emitted a strong smell of blood.

As the pill entered their stomachs, their muscles and bones vibrated and their blood vessels bulged.

The aura on his body began to rise rapidly.

The boundary of the ninth level of the acquired realm was broken through in an instant!
It didn’t stop until it reached the second level of the innate realm!
