Chapter Ninety-Two: The North Underworld
Shangguan Xian still couldn't wake up after all, and after a while, his breathing returned to calm and weak, Shangguan Li stayed for an hour or so before getting up to leave, she still needed to make some preparations before heading to the Northland.
Day 2.
In the dormitory, Shangguan Li took some elixir treasures that replenished spiritual power, and then met Wei Zisheng again.
"Brother Zisheng, this northward trip lasts for ten days, and on the tenth day, you will go north to Jianmen to respond, if I don't show up, Uncle Liu will integrate the army and attack the North ......."
Wei Zisheng's eyes were black, obviously he didn't sleep well all night, this trip to the north will not be easy, the Northern Hell Sect will inevitably make all kinds of difficulties, and will not easily send out the antidote, coupled with the difficult conditions in the north, how can the princess who has been dressed and eaten since childhood stand it......
"Your Royal Highness Princess, let's let Wei go, I have traveled to the Northland, and no one is more suitable than me. ”
Shangguan Li stared at the man in front of her, and her heart was extremely moved, but she still didn't accept Wei Zisheng's suggestion, "Remember what I entrusted to you, protect my father, if I don't return in ten days, then go to war in the north!"
After saying this, she silently added another sentence in her heart: "If I don't appear, I will never appear......"
Dressed in white, with a high hairpin, Shangguan Li turned over and got on the horse, her movements were extremely free, and then she glanced at Cuiyun City, she nodded lightly at Wei Zisheng, who was leading the white horse, and then flicked the horsewhip and went to the sword gate.
The scenery on both sides quickly retreated, and there was a gloom between heaven and earth, and the Sword Gate Pass, which was lying between the two mountains, was like a demon's mouth leading to the abyss at this time, and Shangguan Li and the white horse were swallowed in one bite.
The city gate opened, Liu Zheng was dressed in a cyan robe, his eyes showed extreme reluctance, the girl in front of him was grown up by him, she has a strong temperament since she was a child, and everything must be done to the extreme, especially after psychic. Practicing diligently day and night, leaving her peers far behind, I only see her beautiful and dusty peerless demeanor on weekdays, but I can't see the sweat and tears she leaves behind people.
"Let me go, I don't think he Zheng Qishan will dare to use ...... tricks against me."
"Uncle Liu, I have made up my mind, I will go out of the customs in ten days, if I don't appear, then I will raze the Northern Hell Sect to the ground......"
As soon as the words fell, the white horse neighed, and then the four hooves stepped away and galloped into the vast desert......
The desert is deserted, and it is difficult to find people, and a white horse is galloping, bringing up a long-lasting smoke and dust, like a beautiful picture. The woman in white on horseback had a firm gaze, no fear, and an indomitable momentum, and soon disappeared into the boundless desert.
The northern land is barren, the rare elixir is not born, but the mineral vein resources are abundant, and the minerals of the land of Shenzhou are from here, and the merchants have been running back and forth between various places all year round, bringing countless precious elixirs, grains, vegetables, fruits and flesh into the northern land, in exchange for rare minerals to obtain benefits.
Along the way, the surrounding environment is much the same, everywhere you look, in such an environment, people can easily get lost, Shangguan Li has to look up at the sky from time to time, with the scorching sun as a guide, and then distinguish the direction.
The climate is very hot, making people thirsty, and the same is true for the white horse, every once in a while, Shangguan Li will remove the water bag from the horse's back and feed the water to the white horse.
"Eat slowly, no one will rob you of ......"
The white horse chewed on the basket in its mouth, and its two big horse eyes stared closely at the bag in Shangguan Li's hand, which in its eyes was the best thing in the world, in which it could conjure its favorite snacks.
"Well, I'm only going to eat one. ”
The big eyes blinked, the long eyelashes looked particularly good, and the white horse's mouth was crooked, and he rolled the beard into his mouth, chewing back and forth from side to side, making a series of crisp sounds that made people appetite great.
"Poof!"
With a breath of hot air, Bai Ma stood up, his big head arching back and forth on Shangguan Li's body, like a child getting the sugar gourd that he longed for, and he looked extremely happy.
"Okay, okay, let's go......"
"Hiss......"
Shangguan Li touched the mane on the white horse's head, and then jumped up, jumped high in front of the white horse, let out a long and loud neigh, and then ran happily towards the depths of the desert with four hooves.
......
After a day's galloping, a man and a horse had already entered the depths of the desert, and according to the strength of the white horse's feet, it was estimated that they had traveled six or seven hundred miles.
The sun was about to set on the earth, and the crescent moon was waiting in the air early, seeing the crescent moon appear, Shangguan Li couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it seemed that there was no danger tonight.
Cultivators can protect their bodies with spiritual power, and under the drive, they can make cold and heat not invade, and they are not afraid of knives and guns. But there are pros and cons to everything, once the spiritual power is driven to protect the body, it will inevitably consume the cultivation in the body continuously, so if it is not necessary, few cultivators will drive the spiritual power for a long time, after all, it is easy to use, and it is too difficult to replenish. Because of this, the method of Cheng Xiaoxi had a market, and he successfully deceived a lot of spiritual power from Shangguan Li.
With the moonlight hanging high tonight, it is very likely that the Netherworld Beast will not appear, and Shangguan Li will only face the extreme cold at night, so that cultivation will not be too costly, and it will be relatively easy to replenish.
As the sky grew darker and the surrounding scenery became more and more blurry, Shangguan Li found a stone pile to shelter in, she first set up the white horse properly, and then took out a piece of silk and spread it on the ground, on which she would spend the night.
The cold came as promised, Shangguan Li raised her hand and released a spiritual power to protect the white horse, and then it itself also lit up with fluorescence, the northern land was in danger, Shangguan Li did not dare to sleep soundly, so she could only sit on the silk and close her eyes and pretend to sleep, so as to replenish her spirit.
In contrast, Hakuba is not as anxious as hers, it seems extremely leisurely, sweeping its ears, snorting, and regurgitating what it has eaten during the day back into its mouth, feeling the deliciousness of the food again......
The night is very long, and it is also very short, in the strange and barren northland, Shangguan Li is worried, her thoughts are continuous, and her father can't wake up from the poison of heat and cold in his body for a long time, and he doesn't know what he will face when he travels north, she is a woman after all, even if she has a strong temperament, she still looks much more fragile than men.
"Alas......"
A long sigh came out of the stone pile, through the vast desert, to the mountains in the northwest of the Central Plains, and evoked another sigh.
The boy didn't know how to worry, but for many years.
Cheng Xiaoxi, who has now grown into a young man, has just finished eating the barbecue in his hand, and there is still a little yellowish grease left at the corner of his mouth, he was just about to wipe his mouth, but at this time his heart suddenly jumped, and his mind suddenly became a mess, and he looked around carefully, but he didn't find out what the reason was.
"Hey......"
......
After a sleepless night, Shangguan Li's complexion has improved a lot, after all, it is to close her eyes and recuperate, after all, it still has some effect, it is much better than staying by her father's side for a few days without sleep.
The white horse is different, it doesn't have so many emotions, it only feels that its eyes are closed but it is about to go on the road, and it immediately sprinkled in front of the stone pile, Shangguan Li smiled on her face, and just watched it jump around in front of her, and her mood opened up a little.
"Let's go, my father is still waiting for me, can't I delay here. ”
After letting the white horse indulge for a while, Shangguan Li returned to the road, dragging a long shadow in the rising red sunlight, and quickly approached the place where the Northern Underworld Sect was located.
The Northern Netherworld Sect is the most powerful force in the Northland, and countless forces and sects in the North have to depend on it to survive, under the iron-blooded methods of the North Netherworld Sect, these forces have never dared to have two hearts, although the population of the North Land is small, its strength is not to be ignored.
If the northern land is reduced countless times, the northern land is a narrow land from west to east, bordering the West Spirit Sword Gate in the west, and there are countless natural barriers such as mountains and abysses in the south, and the Central Plains can only be reached directly through the Dragon Bridge.
The middle of the Northland Continent, composed of deserts and Gobi, is where the sect of the Northern Netherworld Sect is located, and there is the only spiritual vein in the North, and the Northern Netherworld Sect is built on this spiritual vein, growing and dominating the north.
This spiritual vein is located at the foot of a large mountain, which is full of houses and pavilions, and a stone road winds up to the main hall at the top. From afar, it is majestic and magnificent, and it is a paradise on this barren land.
Now that this spiritual vein has been depleted, all the resources of the Northern Netherworld Sect have been replaced by the minerals produced in the Northland, and countless forces have been swallowed up by it over the years, and the rest of the sects can only survive and curry favor with the Northern Netherworld Sect in exchange for living space.
