With Master Ming Zong's movements, the smoke on the wooden board slowly floated up, shrinking and condensing according to the shape of the spell pattern, converging on Zheng Qiu's forehead.

These condensed smoke curse patterns slowly approached Master Mingzong's fingers and poured into the Baihui acupoint along the fingertips.

This is the key to this secret method of sealing memories.

Guided by spirit and energy, he injected the medicinal power of the incense into his mind, sketched the sealing spell, and locked the part of his brain that controlled his memory.

This way of locking is like using smoke spells to make a cage net, and the memory is locked inside, but this cage net must not be completely sealed, and a part of the opening must be left, otherwise it will make Zheng Qiu forgetful.

This secret method is very laborious, Master Mingzong calms his mind, minimizes the frequency of breathing, and does not let his qi fluctuate in the slightest.

It took a whole day and a night, and he finally raised his finger, opened his mouth and exhaled a cloudy breath, and his face showed a tired look.

The secret method was very successful, every spell was error-free, what Master Mingzong was worried about did not happen, the "wood spirit" did not come to the apprentice's mind to make trouble, it seemed that the potion of tranquility also had a stabilizing effect on the "wood spirit".

Finishing his efforts, he stood up, and he clicked and twisted his limbs, stretching his stiff body.

Then Master Mingzong left Fangcao Peak, went to ask Tianfeng to find Yun You and Zheng Zhisong, and gave them "The Road to Heaven". Then he also went to Picking Cloud Peak and talked with the sect master behind closed doors for a long time.

The next day, Master Ming Zong took his sleeping apprentice on his back and came to Tianzhou Square, took the secret boat arranged by the sect master, and went to the lonely city of the Great Wilderness.

In the southeast of the Yunsleeve Continent, far away from the Ten Thousand Mountains of the Qianyun Sect, there is a vast land, but this land is barren and barren, and there is not a single river or stream.

There is not a single blade of grass on the peaks here, only gray-yellow rocks standing bare.

The peaks are only between them, and what should have been a fertile basin is covered with thick yellow sand.

The wind struck, the sand and dust were overwhelming, and as far as the eye could see, only the yellow clouds in the sky could not see the five fingers.

On the cloud sleeve, this barren land is called the Great Wilderness, and here, the first problem people have to face is how to live.

But in the center of this great wilderness, there is a sect, the sect is built in the middle of three stone mountains, surrounded by a stone wall dozens of zhang high.

It is isolated from the world, an isolated island in the vast wilderness, so that people no longer call the name of the sect, but directly call it the lonely city of the great wilderness.

In the lonely city of the Great Wilderness, there is the only water source in this land, and the opening is only a spring of one foot and six inches.

But there are more than 20,000 people living in the lonely city of the Great Wilderness, and this is not counting the passers-by, so water has become the most precious thing.

More than 200 years ago, someone found ancient ruins between the peaks of the Great Wilderness, under the desolate desert.

Since then, a large number of cultivators have poured in from all over Cloud Sleeve, vying to find the ruins, hoping for an adventure.

Outside the lonely city, they built all kinds of houses and all kinds of shops, and settled here all year round.

However, the arrival of a large number of cultivators has made the Great Wilderness Lonely City even more overwhelmed, how can a single spring feed so many people? What if there is not enough water, then grab it!

Cultivators are not all good people, and there are many bloodthirsty and arrogant people who fight and snatch here, often taking dozens of lives for a glass of water.

In this way, the Great Wilderness has become the most chaotic place in Yunchong, where notorious wicked people are everywhere, people die every day, and in the lonely city of the Great Wilderness, sporadic screams can still be heard in the middle of the night.

But why is this chaotic place called a sect?

Because there is a city lord in the Great Wilderness Lonely City, he is the highest person in the entire Great Wilderness, the city lord is in charge of the spring, and there are hundreds of deacons under him.

These executors do not maintain the order of the Great Wilderness, they are just cultivators who can be hired, and as long as the right price is given, these executors will do anything for their employers.

Of course, nothing raised by the employer can include what the lord opposes.

There is also a rule in the Great Wilderness Lonely City, the city lord is not elected, nor inherited, but killed all the way in the gladiatorial arena in the lonely city.

The seat of the lord of the castle is not easy to sit, anyone has the right to challenge the lord of the castle, the lord of the castle must fight, and within three days, go to the gladiatorial arena to decide the victory.

If the challenger wins, he has the right to decide the life and death of the castle lord, and then become the new castle lord himself.

Commanders have similar rules, if they want to be executors, they must challenge one of them, but the challenge of the executor must be approved by the lord of the castle.

The survival of the strong, all those who have names and surnames in the Great Wilderness Lonely City are all cultivated to be proud of the others, and it is precisely because of this that the chaotic and disorderly Great Wilderness Lonely City will get the name of the top ten sects of Cloud Sleeve.

The current city lord of the Great Wilderness Lonely City, called Lin Minghao, is said to have won two hundred consecutive victories in the gladiatorial arena before challenging the previous city lord.

Lin Minghao's battle with the previous city lord lasted for four days and three nights, and finally he used a famous Wen Jian Sect sword trick to cut the former city lord in the air.

Master Mingzong didn't know what kind of friendship the sect master had with Lin Minghao, he only knew that Lin Minghao was very strange.

The lord of the castle sometimes chattered like a chatterbox, and sometimes kept silent for months on end, as if he had two completely different personalities.

But Lin Minghao has a good reputation, and compared with the previous city lords, he is a very reasonable person.

He was particularly fond of sitting in the castle lord's palace to judge the trivial matters that happened in the city, such as the smashing of wine jars, the theft of cloth, and even the loss of straw sandals, and it seemed that it would be fun to find out these trivial matters.

Therefore, the people of the Great Wilderness Lonely City gave this city lord who didn't care about the wicked and only took care of trivial matters a loud name, the steward of the city lord.

The Great Wilderness Lonely City is far away from the Qianyun Sect, and Master Ming Zong flew in a secret boat for six days in a row before he came to the periphery of the Great Wilderness.

On the seventh day, the secret boat finally landed in the lonely city of the Great Wilderness.

The Qianyun Sect's boat platform was also built on the top of the mountain, which was the shortest of the three peaks surrounding the lonely city.

When I stepped down from the boat, I was greeted by a dry cool breeze, mixed with fine grains of sand, which was extremely uncomfortable on my face. Master Ming Zong identified the direction and carried his apprentice to the City Lord's Palace.

At the gate of the palace, he was stopped by two half-covered cultivators, who had the word "Ling" written on their clothes in bright red colors, who were the commanders of the Great Wilderness Lonely City.

Ming Zong took out ten heaven and earth crystals, divided them among the two commanders, and then took out the light blue envelope and shook it.

said: "I am the elder of the Qianyun Sect, this is the letter of our sect master, and I want the city lord to open it himself." ”

The two commanders glanced at each other, and quickly tucked the Heaven and Earth Crystal into their belts, making way for Ming Zong to enter.

On the way to the palace, there were more than these two execeas, and every time he walked a section, Ming Zong would meet two.

He took out the heaven and earth crystals again and again, and emptied most of his sleeve pockets, before he walked into the hall of the palace and saw Lin Minghao under the guidance of the exemplar.
