Chapter 69: Yongzhou
After seeing the Qionghua Wonderland with a view of Yunzhou, Ouyang left Yunlan City the next day and flew to Xicheng, the northernmost part of Yunzhou, which is already the northernmost city with Yunzhou Yunchuan Airport, and is also the main transportation hub from Yunzhou to Yongzhou in the north.

After arriving in Xicheng, there is no cloud boat route to the cities in Yongzhou, and if you want to reach the cities of Yongzhou, you can only take an ox cart to walk over, or fly over by yourself. And after arriving in Yongzhou, you must change to a sleigh car that can run on the snow, and you need a multi-horned deer that lives in the north to pull a car, otherwise it will be difficult to move an inch.
Yongzhou is located in the northernmost part of the Kyushu mainland, and most of the territory snows all year round, and only a few areas in the southernmost part of Yongzhou will have a short snow-free period. It can be said that Yongzhou is more unsuitable for the survival of living beings than the prison state, not only is it vast and sparsely populated, but even the demon beasts and demon clans are the least in Kyushu.
However, the Immortal Alliance would rather exile the demonic Daoists and sinners who had made great mistakes to the prison state and establish the Tiance Mansion to suppress them, rather than banish them to Yongzhou and leave them to fend for themselves. One of the reasons for this is that the aura of the prison state is thin, and the ability of cultivators is suppressed to a very low level, and another important reason is the abundant heavenly and earthly treasures under Yongzhou.
There are a large number of rare minerals and spiritual objects under the frozen ground of Yongzhou, as long as these materials can be developed, a small cultivation family can also use the materials to pile up a monk who is at least a true spiritual realm.
However, it is very difficult to develop this part of the cultivation spirit object, and just excavating it is enough to bankrupt the small cultivation family. However, once the cultivation spirit object is dug up and auctioned off, not only can the excavation cost be recovered, but even a large number of low-grade cultivation materials can be purchased.
When the Zhao family moved to Yongzhou and became the ruler of Yongzhou, other families and sects also ridiculed the Zhao family for being short-sighted. At that time, people only knew that Yongzhou had natural and earthly treasures, but did not know their quantity, and because of the particularity of the natural materials and earthly treasures themselves, it was expected that there were definitely not many of those things.
But when the Zhao family continued to excavate a large number of high-grade heavenly and earthly treasures from Yongzhou, everyone knew that they were wrong. The Zhao family, which was assisted by a large number of high-grade cultivation materials, also developed rapidly, far exceeding the scale of moving into Yongzhou at the beginning.
There is a total of one stone in the world, and Yongzhou has eight buckets.
Since the Zhao family, there are also Xiuzhen families who want to enter Yongzhou to dig up heavenly treasures to strengthen themselves, but they have already gained a firm foothold in Yongzhou, and even the familiar Zhao family will naturally not agree to other families entering Yongzhou at will. Therefore, at first, the other families and sects that moved into Yongzhou were either wiped out by the Zhao family, or they were suppressed by the Zhao family and had to leave, and finally the Xianmeng came forward to warn the Zhao family, who had become the king of the northern land, and the Zhao family relented.
But even so, the Zhao family, who is the king and hegemon, also stipulates that all the treasures found by cultivators in Yongzhou must be divided into half of the Zhao family.
The main reason why the Zhao family dared to be so arrogant and domineering was because the Zhao family, which occupied Yongzhou, had too obvious advantages on the way to cultivating immortals, not only did there be a large number of monk groups in the family, but as the descendants of the Zhao family, every generation of the family would soar to the heavenly realm, and there were immortals in every generation of the family.
In this way, even if the Zhao family immortals may not be able to descend to the world, the other forces in the Immortal Alliance will not dare to confront the Zhao family, which has become a behemoth.
Ouyang didn't know all this, and all he knew was some strange regulations about Yongzhou, such as the fact that the heavenly treasures should be divided into half of the Zhao family. As well as some rumors about the Zhao family in Yongzhou, some information about the geographical environment characteristics of Yongzhou, and the location of some well-known scenic spots in Yongzhou.
[Speaking of which, a few days ago, did I offend a person from the Zhao family? Thinking of the rumors of the Zhao family that he heard along the way, Ouyang couldn't help but think of the group of cultivators he saw in order to resurrect the sunspot, and it seemed that there was one person who claimed to be from the Zhao family.
【…… Really, that time should have offended them. 】
Wrapped in the coat on his body, Ouyang shrunk his body, struggling to move forward in the knee-thick snow while talking to blood in his heart.
[Who let them hunt the nine-tailed fox accidentally injured the sunspot, I didn't kill them on the spot, it's already calculated. 】
[But at that time, only the monks of the Mahayana realm survived, right?] Those Zhao family members were all killed by you. 】
Ouyang was silent for a while, remembering that at that time, in order to force them to calculate the location of the Nine Tails, he had killed all the cultivators who were not in the Mahayana realm, most of them were people with the blood of the Zhao family.
【…… No matter. The soldiers are coming, the water is flooding, and the big deal is that the Zhao family has been flattened. A flash of light flashed in his eyes, and Ouyang had a resolute look on his face.
For Ouyang, who has a deep background, the ruling family in Kyushu and one state will be extinguished if it is destroyed.
Once the snow in Yongzhou falls, it will not stop at all for ten days and half a month. And unlike the snow in other states, the snow in Yongzhou contains aura, and in addition to the normal natural low temperature, there is also a cold that penetrates deep into the bone marrow and the soul, not to mention ordinary people, even cultivators will be frozen to death if they don't have enough warm clothes.
It is precisely because of this characteristic of the heavy snow in Yongzhou that cultivators who can fly in the sky do not dare to fly in the Yongzhou sky for a long time, for fear of affecting their bodies and true spiritual cultivation for a long time. Even a dead cloud ship will be affected by the snow containing aura, and it is common for it to crush and wither in the air, which is one of the reasons why cloud ships cannot be used in Yongzhou.
Therefore, on the land of Yongzhou, you can't see the cultivators flying in the sky, nor can you see the cloud ships above the higher clouds, all you can see is the gray sky.
Ouyang is not the only one walking on the snow now, dozens of travelers line up in a long line, wearing thick coats and walking in the snow.
Ouyang joins a tour group, or expedition, or "gold digger," to the crimson snowfields further north on the border of Yongzhou.
This team is led by several veteran cultivators who have been running in Yongzhou for many years, they are familiar with the environment of Yongzhou, and they understand what these guys who enter Yongzhou want to do, so they come up with this way to make money. Recruit a large number of "gold diggers" in the border area of Yongzhou, prepare a lot of materials for living in Yongzhou, and take these people who dream of getting rich overnight to the red snowfield.
Originally, everyone sat quietly in the sleigh pulled by the horned deer, and walked on the snowfield in the sun, but suddenly, the sky was covered with gray clouds, and it was snowing so hard that even a professional sledder could not move forward.
At such a moment, the team should have gathered in a group, camped and waited for the snow to pass.
But with a single sentence, the guides had everyone in the group dressed in thick coats walking towards the crimson snowfield, and even took the place of the multi-horned deer in pulling up the sleigh.
"You're a little too late, and the next time the snow stops will be the day of bloom in the crimson snowfield. If you're willing to stay here and wait for the snow to stop, we don't care, we just promised to take you to the Crimson Snowfield, and the time has never been guaranteed. ”
On the day of the Crimson Snow Field, underground lava rises to the bottom of the permanently frozen ice, staining the entire snow field with a layer of red. Because the ice has an aura, it will not be completely melted by the lava, but in some places it will break open, and the treasures buried in the ground will be washed up by the lava, and even the snow spirits living below the ice will escape to the surface.
Whether it's a treasure under the ice or a rare snow spirit, anything can fetch a lot of money.
But the bloom day is only once a year, and if you miss it, you have to wait until the next year.
Almost everyone in this team wanted to take advantage of the blooming day to grab one or two treasures, so as to get rich overnight, only a few tour guides and Ouyang had not thought about such a thing.
The former is something that has been through many blooming days, and knows how difficult it is to get a treasure. The latter is purely here to watch the scenery of the crimson snowfield, and he doesn't care if he can get the treasure.
So for the dream in their hearts, this group of "gold diggers" braved the goose feathers and snow to advance with difficulty, and went to the red snow field step by step.
