Chapter 223: Holy Land

The galloping horse, Tang Zheng never thought that he would have such an experience, the Pegasus walked like flying, and the four hooves soared into the air, just like soaring clouds and fog, but every time he landed, it was very stable, Tang Zheng and Mu Hongyan didn't feel the bumps at all

"It's more comfortable than riding in a car. Mu Hongyan leaned on his arms, there was a little embarrassment before, but then gradually became familiar, and the embarrassment disappeared, only a hearty pleasure.

"We're a real roadster. Tang Zheng quipped.

Mu Hongyan covered her mouth and smiled, but her eyes were extremely bright, and the feeling she had never experienced before made her feel extraordinarily novel, every pore in her body was dilated, and every cell was also active.

Suddenly, Ye Yuan, who was running in the front, tightened the reins, the horse immediately stopped, the elder also grabbed the horse's head, and the horse was raised high, while Tianma didn't need Tang Zheng to tighten the reins at all and stopped by himself, very smoothly.

"There's a miasma ahead. Ye Yuan said in a deep voice, he was not nervous, surviving in these 100,000 mountains, the miasma was like a shadow, and it would not make them afraid at all.

The elder handed Tang Zheng a porcelain bottle and said, "Lord Messenger, take an antidote pill, and you will not be afraid of this miasma." ”

Tang Zheng poured it out, one by one with Mu Hongyan, this small pill could dissolve the toxicity of the miasma, which made Mu Hongyan feel unbelievable.

She has lived in southern Yunnan for more than 20 years, and she has never heard of a medicine that can completely dissolve the toxicity of this miasma.

However, thinking of the miraculous black jade bone paste before, this antidote pill didn't seem to be difficult to accept.

The two of them took it, and there was no discomfort in their bodies, and the elder and Ye Yuan also took it separately, and the elder explained: "Back then, our clan was just imprisoned here, and many clansmen died under this miasma, and then an ancestor developed this antidote pill, and then we can ensure that our people are not poisoned by the miasma. ”

"That ancestor must have been a genius doctor. Mu Hongyan said.

The elder showed a hint of a smile: "Of course, this ancestor has a benevolent hand and has saved many of our clansmen. ”

The elder and Ye Yuan ate an antidote pill for their respective mounts, Tang Zheng drew a scoop according to the gourd, and also stuffed one into Tianma's mouth, but unexpectedly, the beast sniffed, snorted, turned his head directly, and didn't eat it, looking very disgusted.

The elder said, "Your Excellency, the Pegasus has a special physique, and he is not afraid of this miasma. ”

Tang Zheng's eyes lit up and said, "It's invulnerable." ”

The elder said, "Although it can't be said that all poisons are invulnerable, the poison of this miasma does not pose a threat to it. ”

Tang Zheng had to look at it again, this beast actually raised his head high, and glanced at Tang Zheng, as if to say that you, the earth hat, don't even know my ability.

Tang Zheng couldn't cry or laugh, he was actually despised by a horse, and he was afraid that others would think he was crazy when he said it, but the look in his eyes just now was clearly a naked disdain.

Forget it, if you don't see it like a horse, Tang Zhengquan shouldn't have seen it.

Drive!

The three horses continued to gallop, and the white mist was filled around them, which was a miasma, like a white mist, but it was actually highly poisonous, and an overdose could be fatal.

But at this moment, several people shuttled through the miasma unharmed, which was really magical.

Overhead, there were towering trees that shaded the sky, and only sporadic sunlight shone through the cracks, and only the sound of horses' hooves on the ground was left in the trees.

After advancing like this for a long time, the miasma disappeared, and several people stopped again, because in front of them was a large swamp that ate people and did not spit out bones.

"Swamps are more troublesome than miasma. The elder frowned and said with disgust, "Whether it is a man or a beast, as long as they fall into the swamp, most of them have no way to live. The envoy insisted on it because he had a magic weapon to protect him. ”

Tang Zheng was surprised, but Mu Hongyan couldn't help but look at the Battle Soul Sword on his waist, this black sword that was not good-looking turned out to be a magic weapon.

"Then how do we get there?" Tang Zheng asked.

"Calm down, of course, we have a way. The elder motioned to Ye Yuan, who immediately came to the edge of the swamp and jumped towards a pile of weeds.

Mu Hongyan's eyes widened in surprise, it was a swamp, don't think about living if you jump down.

Tang Zheng was not worried, and sure enough, he saw that Ye Yuan jumped into the weeds and did not sink, there was a long bamboo pole in his hand, and with a strong support, a huge raft slid over.

"We used this to get through this swamp. The elder led his mount to the raft, which was large enough to accommodate three horses and four people.

Several people got on the raft, and Mu Hongyan was obviously a little frightened, standing tightly beside Tang Zheng, as if he was afraid that he would fall.

Tang Zheng comforted: "Don't be afraid. ”

Mu Hongyan barely squeezed out a smile, but her face was a little pale, obviously still afraid, but she didn't dare to grab Tang Zheng openly, so she could only get as close to him as possible.

There was a foul stench in the swamp, and the carcasses of beasts that had not yet completely decomposed, which was a little creepy.

Tang Zheng, Elder and Ye Yuan looked as usual, only Mu Hongyan covered her mouth while getting closer and closer to Tang Zheng, and finally simply leaned her whole body on him.

She has been sitting in the office all year round, and she has never been to such a harsh environment, and her heart will naturally have fear.

Seeing her trembling, her face became more and more pale, Tang Zheng secretly smiled bitterly, why do you bother to come with you to endure hardship, but it is not a way to go on like this, what if you are really scared out.

So, he took advantage of the situation and grabbed her shoulders, Mu Hongyan tightened, and then leaned into his arms, a strong sense of security filled her heart, dispelling the fear in her heart.

She raised the corner of her eye and glanced at him, and found that he was staring ahead, his eyes were deep and calm, completely devoid of the frivolity of this age, and when she saw him withdraw her gaze, she quickly lowered her head, afraid to look at him, but she did not have the courage to leave his embrace.

The elder and Ye Yuan didn't see it, Ye Yuan concentrated on supporting the raft, while the elder stared intently at a protruding mountain peak in the distance.

The mountain was not high, but it was a fiery red, and the leaves were like burning flames, and even the trunks were fiery red, and all kinds of trees were the same colorβ€”fiery red, red and bewitching.

Tang Zheng also saw this flame-like peak, and asked curiously, "Could it be that that is the Holy Land?"

The elder retracted his gaze and nodded, "Yes, the Holy Land is like a flame, and it can burn every evil in the world. ”

"Why is it all fiery red?"

The elder shook his head: "This is the magic of the Holy Land, since I was born, the Holy Land has been this color, and it has not changed throughout the year. ”

Tang Zheng was extremely curious, the color of the leaves should change with the change of the seasons, but the trees in the holy land did not change, it was really amazing.

However, since it is a sacred place of the Wu clan, it is natural that there will be many magical places, which is not an exaggeration.

The raft finally stopped, and the men came to the edge of the swamp, stepped off the raft, and rode on horseback.

Although the holy land was in sight, it took nearly an hour for a few people to reach the edge of the holy land, at the foot of this fiery red peak.

Mu Hongyan was completely shocked by this peak, dumbfounded, looking at this peak blankly, even Tang Zheng couldn't hide his surprise.

The mountain is about 1,000 meters high, and not only the trees are fiery red, but also the weeds on the ground, and even the soil and stones are red.

"This ...... It's amazing!" Mu Hongyan is also well-informed, and has traveled to many places in the world, but has never seen such a magical scene.

"Envoy, let's eat some dry food first, and then we have the strength to climb the mountain, this is a holy place, we can't ride horses, we can only walk, this is a respect for the holy place. The elder said sternly.

A few people had lunch, and then led the horse to climb the mountain, the mountain is not steep, it took a lot of effort, a few people finally climbed to the top of the mountain, people have an illusion, as if they are in flames, and the evil thoughts in their hearts seem to be refined by this piece of fire.

At the top of the mountain, a huge cave appeared in front of me, and a wave of heat emanated from the cave.

"Envoy, we can only accompany you here, and then it is up to you to go down alone, this is the core of the holy land, the people of the Wu clan have been forbidden to enter for generations, only you have the privilege to enter. The elder said solemnly.

Tang Zheng asked puzzledly: "Since you have always said that the way to break the ban is in this cave, why haven't you thought of going in to find out for so many years?"

The elder hurriedly shook his head like a rattle, and said in a sonorous voice, "The Wu clan will not violate the rules set by the ancestors, and besides, since it is said that only you can find a way to break the ban, then it is useless for us to go in." ”

Tang Zheng couldn't help but want to roll his eyes, the Wu people were really dead-eyed, they had been trapped here for so many years, and it was said that the way to break the ban was in the cave, but they didn't cross the thunder pool by half a step.

Mu Hongyan really wanted to continue to follow to find out, but since the elder said that Tang Zheng could only go down alone, she didn't follow it very interestingly, nodded at Tang Zheng, and encouraged him to come on.

Tang Zheng smiled knowingly and quipped: "Then I'll go in alone, there won't be man-eating beasts inside, right?"

The elder said with a blank face: "We don't know, Lord Emissary, the hope of our Wu clan is entrusted to you. ”

Tang Zheng felt that the burden on his shoulders was a lot heavier in an instant, and he restrained his smile, nodded solemnly, and strode towards the cave.

Waves of blazing air rushed in, and the temperature rose suddenly. The cave was also red, and the cave glowed with a strange red light, illuminating his path.

He strode with his head held high, and after a few moments he had walked hundreds of meters, and he could no longer see the scene outside the cave, and there was silence all around, without a single movement.

He suddenly remembered that there was not the slightest movement around him when he had just climbed the mountain, and the mountain was like a dead mountain, except for plants, there were not a single animal, not even insects, and it was strange and palpitating.
