-- Chaos --

"What's that?"

Because the chaos has not been opened at this time, so there is no concept of "time", "Luoshen" or "Houtu" with three golden crows, walking along the strange woodland for an unknown amount of time, after sending many strange creatures along the way to the "animal road" or "hungry ghost road", finally saw a strange scene.

It was a huge pillar that rose from the ground and reached into the sky, and the whole was blue-gray.

It does not have the slightest "death" on the whole, and it can project its image through the turbulence outside the "horizon" of the golden crows.

When Taiyi saw it, he immediately flapped his wings and flew over to observe closely.

"This ......" Roselle thought for a moment, "I think that a stone creation of this height should be called a 'mountain'?" ”

After several attempts along the way, she has developed the habit of "asking herself when she doesn't know what to do", as if she should have known what those things were and how they were.

Preliminarily speculated, this should be a kind of "supernatural power", but shouldn't there be any action and description to exert supernatural powers? Perhaps it could be called "Pinch your fingers." ”

However, the same is true of the three fingerless golden crows, but the content they get after thinking about it is quite different, and sometimes they get very strange answers.

For example-

"No," Xihe responded, "This thing that goes straight up and down, without any undulations on the surface, although it is a stone, cannot be called a 'mountain', it should be called a ......."

"Optimus Prime." Dijun continued.

- Like this.

"My stupid brother—" Taiyi said as he flew back, "and its name is 'Buzhou Mountain.'" ”

“…… That's impossible. Xi He was dissatisfied that his speculation was wrong, and immediately flew towards the "Buzhou Mountain", and the other people or birds had to follow.

"Buzhou Mountain", a wooden sign at the bottom of the giant pillar clearly writes three big characters, and there are small characters below these three words: "It is forbidden to touch the pillar with the head, and the violator shall bear the consequences." ”

"Uh......" Xihe's expression was indescribable, so he changed the topic and said, "If you touch the pillar with your head, you have to go to the six realms of reincarnation to report, right?" ”

"Although I have considered some punishment or reward before the six realms of reincarnation, but ......" Luo Shen wondered: "Could it be that the master of this place has the ability to predict the unknown?" ”

"Come and see!" When Luo Shen and Xihe were confused, Taiyi's voice came from behind the "mountain", and after finding that it was useless to think about it, they had to take Dijun, who didn't care about Zhou Mountain at all, around this "giant stone pillar".

Whew-

The moment of bypassing the "Buzhou Mountain", the "horizon" lit up.

To be precise, the originally ubiquitous "turbulence of death" in the air has completely disappeared in a large area, and in this vast space, there are many objects that are exactly the same as the "ginseng fruit tree" and are not "polluted" by "death".

Although the "sky" beyond the horizon and the earth under your feet are still made up of fine "death", they are still much better than before.

And those scenes, to use the words that pop up in Roselle's mind, are "ponds", "pastures", "farmlands", and "palaces".

"Haha! They're all me—woopoof! ”

Taiyi laughed, and when he was about to fly towards those buildings, he was suddenly caught by Di Jun and grabbed one of its legs, and was caught off guard by "slapping" on the ground, gnawing on a mouthful of "soil".

"You!" "Brother! This is not a place to be! Along the way, no matter what anyone said, he listened to it, occasionally giving some opinions, and even if he was ignored, he didn't take it seriously, and he grabbed Taiyi's claws with his two claws and didn't relax.

"That's right." Xihe also agreed: "There are great opportunities here, but there are also great dangers, and I am afraid that I will turn into ashes if I act rashly." ”

"Cut...... Do you think I don't feel it? I just want to take advantage of the crowd to make a profit. Taiyi spat out the dirt in his mouth, shook his feathers, and fell back to Roselle's shoulder without much energy.

Belch...... Have it? Roselle looked around, but she didn't feel anything dangerous.

If you have to say it, it's like being at home, but this "sense of ease" is limited, just like the younger sister who can let go of certain principles in the absence of her parents, but there is an eldest brother and eldest sister who are maintaining basic order, and she will be taught a lesson if she messes around.

What kind of mess is this......

"In that case, follow me, and I will explore the places one by one, and if you have anything you want, I will take it," said Roselle, "and judging by the size of these houses, the owner should look like me." ”

"Well, then, we owe you once." After the three golden crows discussed, they said.

Is it the price of risk? But I didn't do it for the sake of favors.

Roselle shook his head and led the birds to the nearest house.

————

The most recent and largest is the "ranch" with a wooden house attached to it.

The ranch is home to some animals that have not ingested "death" and appear to be quite "normal", including chickens, pigs, cows, horses, sheep and other species they have seen before.

The captivity is separated from the outside by a low wooden railing, and none of the animals that are too small go out over the railing.

Although they are different from the animals outside, the guests have no reason to hunt and kill the animals raised by their owners, so even if one of the strange animals like a horse and a sheep spits at them, the four "people" just cast a spell to block them and walk away quickly.

The railing of the ranch left no doors, and the only entrance was the wooden house built on the edge of the ranch, and when Roselle entered to investigate, he was surprised to find that there was already one of them.

"I don't know that my predecessor is at home, so I'll break in rashly, please forgive me." Roselle said immediately.

"Don't be formal, I'm not the owner of this place." The man turned and answered.

But I saw that this person had black hair and a shawl, a jade belt tied on his forehead, sword eyebrows and eagle eyes, he was not angry and self-threatening, he had three long strands of hair under his chin, he was wearing a dark Taoist robe, and he was holding a ...... in his hand A lotus leaf?

"This seat? That's a good name! Before Luo Shen could figure out how to continue, he heard Taiyi say: "Then I will call myself 'Lonely' or 'This King'!" ”

"Oh?" The black-robed Taoist looked at Taiyi with interest: "To use this self-title, but you need to have subjects or subordinates, where are they?" ”

"......" Tai flickered for a moment, and then waved his wings at the animals in the pasture outside: "Isn't that it?" ”

"Good!" The black-robed Daoist praised it, but said no more, and turned back to continue observing what he had been looking at before.

Roselle peeked at it, it seemed to be a map of the surrounding environment, and the wooden house was empty and empty, and after a few more words, he took his leave and walked out.

In the brief exchange, for different reasons, neither side meant to use their names together.

————

Next, there is "farmland".

Crops such as carrots, potatoes, beetroot, wheat, and pumpkins are mixed together, some of which are already bearing fruit, while others have just sprouted, and are yellow-green in color.

In the middle of the farmland, there is a "farmhouse" about the size of a ranch wooden house, but strangely, there are no farm tools in it, and the three walls are "bookshelves" that reach to the ceiling.

"Fellow Daoist? Are you the owner of this place? Roselle probably guessed that he should be about the same as the ranch man, and this "farmhouse" or "book house" is also obvious at a glance nothing special, so he is ready to politely say hello and leave, anyway, he will not reply with a "exactly", right?

"Fellow Daoist? Good, good, good! The old man said "yes" three times and continued: "The Tao is the way, the very way, the name is famous, the name is not famous." ”

"......" One person and two birds didn't know how to deal with it at all, and it didn't seem appropriate to turn around and walk away.

Fluttering, Di Jun flew down from Luo Shen's shoulder, found a pumpkin in the field, pecked it a few times and ate it, and then said "Thank you for your hospitality" to the old man in the house, and flew on Luo Shen's shoulder again: "Go quickly, otherwise you will be left to farm." ”

Roselle didn't know why, but he didn't want to take care of this obviously not small farmland, so he turned around and ran away.

————

The pond, or rather a slightly smaller lake, has many lotus flowers, many floating lotus leaves, and the occasional lotus root that can be seen underwater, but none of them are as "aura" as the two objects seen before.

Luo Shen vaguely judged that the remaining lotus leaves in this pool were no longer "useful".

At this time, there were two Taoists by the pond, one wearing yellow, the other wearing blue, the one wearing yellow had a square face, a burly physique, but a sad expression, and were sitting on the edge of the pond staring at those lotus flowers, and the blue one had a handsome face and a slender figure, but his brows were slightly furrowed, and he was constantly calculating something.

“…… It seems that they also have a crush on the lotus, but they didn't grab it. Roselle judged based on what he had seen so far.

Although the "people" in this strange place are currently exercising restraint, it is difficult to determine what they will do after leaving, and Roselle is a little reluctant to approach them, after all, they don't look like their masters.

"Fellow Daoists, please stay!"

The blue-robed Daoist's indistinguishable voice sounded.

It's strange that you will stay! Roselle quickened his pace and rushed into the "palace" not far away.

"Hey!" "Oh......" "Tsk."

Before Roselle could observe the interior of the palace, the three golden crows let out an exclamation each.

When she looked up, the dissatisfaction of running several places before but having nothing to take was instantly alleviated, and the dazzling "treasures" in this palace flashed directly in her eyes.

The first thing that caught her attention was the side-by-side display of goose yellow flags, black and white pictures, pitch-black giant clocks, blue light giant axes, and gold long swords.

Then there are the creations of the palace itself, iron cauldrons, stone furnaces, books that turn on their own, and glowing chests.

In the end, what she couldn't take her eyes off was the huge door in the depths of the palace.

One was golden and the other was completely black, looking like ordinary colored stones, but the milky white and purple-black light that swirled in the middle of them confirmed their extraordinary.

As for the middle-aged Taoist who was carrying a big red lotus flower standing in front of the two doors, his beard was white, his aura was strong, and he was immortal...... He's definitely not the master anyway.

As if interrupted by the sound of Luo Shen rushing in, the old man glanced at Luo Shen and the three golden crows, and stepped into the golden gate first.
