Chapter 144, the north of Youzhou

The six people sent by the Zeng family to answer were divided into five men and one woman, and they all looked middle-aged. But everyone's breath was calm, and even the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi around their bodies did not appear restless, but tended to be peaceful.

As soon as Pan Long looked at it, he knew that these people were all moving from the innate realm to returning to the basics, and the degree of true qi splitting was not low.

Among them, the highest cultivation is the woman with slightly gray hair. In her case, if she can get a Four Elephant Returning Pill to the Truth, she should be able to impact the Return to Basics right now, and there is a great hope of success.

(This Zeng family really deserves to be a famous family in Youzhou, and it is the peak of the six congenitals with a casual stroke.) )

(No wonder they refused to give up their intention to start a war...... Like these six congenital peaks, they are all characters who can be expected to return to the truth. With the Zeng family's mentality of fighting to nurture war, as long as there is a big battle, at least one or two of the six of them will successfully break through and return to the basics. )

(For these old rivers and lakes, benevolence, righteousness, morality, money, and prestige are not as reliable as their own strength.) Not to mention that innate masters only have a lifespan of one hundred and twenty years, but real people often have two hundred and forty or fifty years or more...... Looking at it this way, the Zeng family's choice is indeed the most in their interests. )

(But they only look out for their own interests, but not for the interests of others.) Their Zeng family can benefit from the war and continue to grow and develop, but how innocent are the people in this northeast!)

(Although this Zeng family has broken away from the demon gate, in their bones, they are still in the demon path after all!)

He frowned, closed his eyes, and weakened his divine sense as much as possible, so as not to be discovered by the masters of the Zeng family.

Although the stealth skill is powerful, but the martial arts are cultivated to the level of the soul and above, there are people who have special abilities due to the change of the soul, and although they are martial artists, they have the same abilities as sorcerers - this is rare, but it is not impossible.

Magicians are inferior to warriors in terms of durability, but strangeness is far above warriors. Not only can it be an outstanding support, but if you are well prepared, it is not so difficult to kill a warrior by skipping the ranks.

Pan Long wasn't sure that his stealth skills would definitely be able to fool those skilled sorcerers - at the very least, he was sure that not to mention a few immortals, even Ren Changsheng, who had not cultivated to the Immortal Buddha in the first place, would be able to see through the stealth.

At the beginning, he had experimented with Ren Changsheng, and at that time, Ren Changsheng, who was still a "Qionglai First Sword" instead of a "Suishan Sword Saint", could not see Pan Long clearly after stealth, but he could clearly feel the position of Pan Long after stealth.

In his own explanation, it is "how can you not feel such a big living person next to you", "your soul is very strong, as long as you can sense it with your soul, you should be able to feel you" and so on.

Pan Long didn't know if any of the six innate masters of the Zeng family had expertise in souls, so it was better to be cautious.

Keeping a distance, he used his divine sense to sense remotely, he condensed his true qi on his ears, and judged the direction of the six innate masters with his hearing, and followed far behind.

In order to avoid being sensed by the other party, he didn't even look that way.

These six masters didn't talk much, and they were silent all the way. And the speed at which they hurried was extremely fast, and after only two hours, they had already left the range of Xiangyuan Mansion.

There are no things to mark on the border line of Great Xia, such as boundary monuments, and Northern Youzhou is not within the scope of the Kyushu Great Array, but from the top of the high mountain, there are snow-covered mountains all around, so you know that this is really the northeasternmost part of the Great Xia Dynasty.

This mountain range is called "Baektu Mountain", which means that the mountains here look like they have white hair, and the snow line is not far up from the mountainside. Further up the snow line, there is a thick layer of snow.

In the summer, the snow melts in the Baekdu Mountains, bringing abundant water. At that time, every river will become surging, that is, the world-famous "Youzhou Summer Flood".

The summer flood time in Youzhou is short and large-scale, and the more you go to the north, the more fierce and fierce it is. During the flood season, the rivers spread and overflow with muddy water, often forming swamps. Then, before it dries up completely, it freezes in late autumn and turns into rock-solid frozen ground.

By the end of spring, the permafrost will melt and turn into a mire again. Soon after, the summer flood broke out...... The cycle repeats itself.

Countless years have accumulated the most fertile land in the world.

The soil here is dark and deep, so fertile that it seems that you can pinch out the oil with your hand.

Legend has it that seeds are sown before the fall freezes, and as long as the seeds don't freeze to death, a large amount of grain can be harvested by the end of the following summer, without even a little extra manpower.

Whether this legend is true or not, Pan Long does not know. But he knew that the Central Plains Dynasty wanted to develop this fertile land north of the "Old Youzhou" (Youzhou is in the area of the Kyushu Great Array, known as "Old Youzhou") more than once, but there has been no great success.

After all, it's too cold here!

Twelve months of the year, about six months of which freeze. Legend has it that when the winter is the coldest in Beiyouzhou, you set up a bonfire in the field to boil a pot of water, splash it into the air, and it is not water droplets that land, but large and small ice cubes.

In such an environment, ordinary people really can't live.

Since ancient times, the Central Plains Dynasty has spent a lot of effort, and in the end only a few towns have been built.

Similar to the situation on the Northland side, these towns are shrouded in circles. Once the cold season begins, the circle will be activated to keep the town warm.

But Beiyouzhou is colder than Beidi, and ...... It is not as barren as the Northlands, on the contrary, it is fertile and producing.

Is it a bad thing that the land is fertile and abundant?

In Pan Long's previous life, there was no supernatural element in the world, of course not.

But here, the land is fertile and abundant, which means that there will be a lot of monsters and monsters.

In the cold environment, people can't survive, but monsters and monsters can.

Therefore, Beiyouzhou has become the world of these ghosts.

Ordinary Central Plains people, it is difficult to live without the town. Only those who have also evolved over the long years to adapt to the cold will be able to roam freely outside the towns and reap the bounty of nature.

From the perspective of living space, there is actually not much contradiction between the Central Plains people and the Bingyuan ethnic group.

But as the saying goes, "the harshest nature can't resist the greed of the human heart", in Beiyouzhou and even further north, there are too many precious products in those lands that freeze all year round, those lands that can hardly grow grass and trees, and only moss can survive.

For these productions, there is a steady stream of masters on the Central Plains who go deep into that dangerous and wild land, wanting to rely on their own force to conquer all difficulties and become rich overnight.

Most of these people never return, but as long as one or two people come back, they will surely be able to make a fortune and attract more people to take risks.

This kind of work is called "ice hunter" by the people of Youzhou, and a successful ice hunter must gain fame and fortune, which makes people envious and jealous.

In fact, there are similar people in the Northland, who took the initiative to cross the Jincheng defense line and go deep into the Great Wilderness to search for precious treasures.

But the Great Wilderness is more barren than the ice field, and the barren environment breeds more powerful and vicious monsters and monsters, as well as desolate people who are stronger than monsters and monsters.

It's much harder to get a good deal out of the wilderness and come back alive than it is to be an ice hunter.

If you have the ability to go to the wilderness to hunt for treasure, why not go to the ice field?

This is the biggest source of conflict between the Central Plains and the Ice Plains peoples.

In order to obtain wealth, ice hunters can trample on all benevolence and morality without care. They can kill several people for a single spirit grass, or they can poison an entire tribe for a piece of spirit wood carved into a totem.

...... And they really do it a lot.

The people of the Ice Plains also coveted the wealth possessed by the pioneers of the Central Plains, such as sturdy tools, comfortable clothing, and plenty of food...... In order to obtain these, they use the most traditional and direct methods.
