Chapter 112: Deep in the Ancient Wilderness, the Second Black Land
——On the rugged mountain road with continuous ravines, Zhang Liang was riding two ashes and hurried quickly to Afang Palace.
There are still hundreds of miles left along the road.
At this moment, the second gray really spread his legs and ran forward, seizing the minute and second of time. And Zhang Liang faced the wind with a calm face, but his heart was also secretly anxious.
After all, they rushed all the way, even if it didn't stop for a moment, it would take several days, and the current situation was that every moment could suddenly change.
So now he only hopes that Ling Chi's melting has not yet ended, and Bian Que has not yet started to cast the forbidden spell "Reincarnation Day".
And when Zhang Liang and Er Gray were rushing day and night, all kinds of battles and events were responding and breaking out in all corners of the country.
Some of these things were planned by him, and more things were calculated by him, but there were some things that he never thought of......
- The Land of the Ancients
On the way to the depths of the Ancient Ancients, countless wild monsters and demonic beasts rushed by like crazy, running in the direction beyond the Ancient Ancients, while constantly letting out a terrified roar.
But the unknown man turned a deaf ear, and he no longer paid attention to other things, but took advantage of the shade of the trees to hide his figure, and then hurried away.
I don't know if it was because of the terrified roar of the whole forest, or for some other reason, the man felt a little uneasy in his heart.
This uneasiness made him feel that he couldn't stay in the ancient land for a long time, or even in Qin Chu for a long time. Therefore, he had to hurry up and hurry up to complete the three tasks that Qin Chu was tasked with on his trip.
The first of them infiltrated the Afang Palace to investigate, and he had already completed it.
All that's left is to dive into the depths of the Ancient Land and go to Fengqi Mountain to deliver things.
And now, he was on his way to the core of the Ancient Lands.
The fierce dragon mask stood against the light, and the white robe swept in the wind, and the man's figure quickly passed through the trees and rushing wild monsters, and came to the end of the ancient forest.
Stepping through the last shadow of the forest, the man's gaze naturally looked beyond the forest and into the depths of the wilderness.
But the scene in front of him inevitably made a trace of surprise flash in the man's eyes - in the wilderness behind the forest, there was a sparkling and magnificent river.
Through the eyes of the dragon mask, he calmly looked at the huge waves that were turned up dozens of meters away, listening to the echoing sound of the surging river, his expression was slightly rippling - just like people who only saw the barren scene on the periphery of the desolate ancient world, they would never have thought that there was a primeval forest that stretched for hundreds of miles in the desolate ancient world, let alone that behind the huge primeval forest of the desolate ancient world, there was a monstrous desolate ancient river.
"This desolate ancient place is really beyond common sense." The man sighed softly, and then glanced over the churning waves, only to see that on the other side of the river there was a mountain gathering place, and there was the deepest part of the Ancient Land, the real core domain.
"I'm afraid that behind the mountains, it's also an unexpected scene......" The man looked at the mountains on the other side of the river, and laughed helplessly, thinking about the many scenes he saw along the way in this desolate ancient land, the barren dry stone land, the living primeval forest, and the turbulent river, there is really everything, so it is not surprising that there are some amazing geographical scenes in the ancient depths behind the mountains.
But now, the first thing he had to do was to cross this great river in order to dive into the deepest depths of the Ancient Ancients.
The man then looked to both sides, trying to see if there were any roads and bridges that could cross the river to the other side, but the surging river stretched far on both sides, and there was no bottom in sight, and it was obvious that there was no way out.
Then the man had to turn his gaze, stretched out two fingers of his right hand, compared the two ends of the river with his gaze, and estimated the width of the river, which was about two hundred meters.
The runoff of 200 meters is a very large river, and the river is turbulent and quite difficult to cross. Moreover, this river was born in a desolate ancient land, and it is difficult to guarantee that there are no earth-shattering aquatic beasts in the big river, and if you want to cross this river, I am afraid there are many invisible dangers.
However, there is only one way for men to go.
"It seems that we must cross the river......," said the man, and without hesitation, he stepped to the bank facing the raging waves.
- Fengqi Mountain.
The sycamore is erected on the top of the high mountain, and the birds cannot reach, so they can only watch the flight of the phoenix.
The clouds and mist are misty, the ancient temple is serene, and there is a rare tranquility in the world on the top of the mountain, whether it is the change of the seasons or the rotation of the years, this tranquility is always the same.
The beast rang the bronze bell of the court, and the sound of the bell retreated from the momentary silence in the temple, and a slight wave was swayed on the half of the tea in the cup.
And the wrinkled hand held the teacup, and drank the clear ripples in the tea through the long pale beard.
Jiang Shang, who was full of ancient faces and white hair, sat in the courtyard of the ancient temple, facing a bluestone square table in front of him.
The table is engraved with a chessboard line diagram, on which black and white chess pieces are laid out to form a game of chess.
Jiang Shang stared at the game of chess in front of him, and his ancient pupils revealed a deep sense of seeing through the vicissitudes of life.
On the chessboard with clear lines, the sunspot and the white Ayaluo layout, or gather or separate, the sunspot has a tendency to tilt and swallow the overall situation, the white child also has a little bit of a chance to overturn the chess, the black child is hidden in the reverse chess, the white child also hides the killing machine, the black child is in sight, the white child is falling, the chess game is calm, but the troubled times have come out.
There was no one on the other side, Jiang Shang sat alone at the table, the black and white chess pots were all in his hand, this was his own chess game.
The deep gaze trembled slightly, Jiang Shang put down the teacup, took out a piece from the white chess pot, and landed on the chessboard unhurriedly and hesitantly.
The crisp sound of falling children sounded on the stone table, cutting off the road to Kuroko's unsheath and resolving a crisis for Baizi.
But what has been unraveled is only one way, and there are countless crises looming on the chessboard, and a wave of unsettled and shocking waves has risen again.
Jiang Shangsui picked up another black chess piece, and landed another piece on the chessboard, igniting the sealing road of the three-line formation, which caused the white to fall into a greater crisis.
Jiang Shang quietly watched every change in the chess game, thinking about every subsequent move.
He knew that this game of chess was inextricably linked, intricate, and difficult to distinguish.
However, he still has to use the only remaining life to solve it.
Jiang Shang was pondering the one-sided chess game, and at the same time, he was also listening to the countless sounds floating back from the mountain wind.
His soul consciousness grew in the void like a plane tree, and countless roots extended out from all things in nature, sensing the ups and downs in the territory of Qin and Chu Kingdom.
He heard the sound of the battle between the Hundred Beast Legion and the Praetorian Guard on the battlefield, saw the mausoleum city that was sealed by a hundred meters of light wall, he heard the shout of Mi Yue, who was sealed in the crystal coffin, and saw Hua Mulan and Miyamoto's palace city drawing swords facing each other, he heard the anxious sound of Liu Bang leading his troops back to the border city, saw the countless wild monsters and monsters rushing out of the border line, he heard the sound of Zhang Liang riding the two ashes to the Afang Palace, and saw the circles and waves on the golden and red liquid surface in Ling Chi.
All kinds of sounds and pictures floated through Jiang Shang's soul consciousness, and he always looked at the chess game in front of him with a calm expression.
It wasn't until his soul perception that extended into all things in nature that he saw a figure he had never seen before—that unknown man in a pure white robe and a dragon mask on his head, who was stepping into the deepest part of the Ancient Lands.
Jiang Shang's calm gaze froze for a moment, just for a moment.
Then his calm gaze soothed a little, revealing a hint of kindness.
Thinking back, Zhang Liang has also been gone for a long time, and Fengqi Mountain, which was already quiet, is even more quiet after Zhang Liang, who translates and reads ancient books all day.
In fact, sitting in this ancient temple in the high mountains, he has always been paying attention to all mortal beings. An immortal saint is not really a secluded person.
So he also knew a little about Zhang Liang's situation outside, and he was noncommittal, but everything was quite reassuring to him.
It's just that now that forces from all sides are gradually appearing, and the situation in Qin Chu is becoming more and more chaotic, I don't know if Zhang Liang can grasp it......
Thinking about it, Jiang Shang's eyes subconsciously turned to a pot of green fir branches in the north corner of the temple, and under the verdant and jade-like cedar branches, a little fox lay quietly on the ground and fell asleep - the little fox with colorful fur.
With a silent sigh, Jiang Shang returned his gaze to the chessboard in front of him.
At this time, a light fluttering sound came from not far away, riding the mountain wind and drifting back to Jiang Shang's ears.
Jiang Shang was obviously startled for a moment, and then immediately calmed down, and said to himself:
"I'm afraid that the leaves on the plane tree have fallen again."
- Ancient Lands, Depths.
The river was surging, and the surging waves quickly washed away the blood of the Blue Jiao Beast.
On the other side of the Ancient River, an unknown man wearing a dragon mask stood on the wet ground, arranging his crumpled sleeves before putting on his white robe again to cover his figure.
And next to him, on the loess soaked by the river, lay a long snake monster with a blue body and two claws.
The blue beast lay on the shore dying, and the back half of its body was still immersed in the river. There were several huge gaps in its body, and tiny lightning danced faintly from the wounds, and blue-black blood gushed out of the wounds, soaking the ground.
The Blue Jiao Beast is a very rare high-level demonic beast, and its rank among the wild monsters and monsters even surpasses the Azure Stone Statue and the Crimson Stone Statue, and its strength is also very powerful.
But because of this it made a serious mistake and provoked people it shouldn't have provoked.
The unknown man glanced back at the blue beast that was paralyzed to the ground, thinking that this rare beast should condense a very strange treasure after death. But with the task on his shoulders, he didn't have time to wait for it to slowly decay and condense, and as soon as he walked away, the corpse of the blue beast would soon be eaten away by the wild monsters and monsters that were dormant around him.
"It's a pity...... I can't even get a single product of condensation for the rare monsters I killed with so much effort......" The man sighed helplessly, but he didn't stop, and walked straight towards the mountains in the depths of the ancient world.
Time is running out, and men have such feelings inexplicably in their hearts. For some reason, but he felt more and more uneasy.
Walking on the road to the depths of the Ancient Ancients, his brows began to wrinkle unnaturally.
When he defeated the Blue Jiao Beast and just set foot on the land across the river, he hadn't noticed anything wrong. But at this moment, when he walked in this valley where the mountains overlapped, he faintly noticed a hint of strangeness.
It wasn't that he sensed any danger, on the contrary, it was because around Fang Yuan, he didn't perceive any trace of danger—it was too quiet.
But this silence is too strange for the Ancient Lands!
The ancient land that has bred countless wild monsters and monsters is full of natural life itself, and no matter how quiet it is, you can always hear the roars, screams, and even breathing sounds of unknown wild monsters nearby.
But there could never be such a silent silence, as if there were no wild monsters inhabiting the valley.
“…… It seems that the depths of this ancient land are not simple. The man sighed softly, there are extraordinary things in the extraordinary place, such a large natural area does not have the sound of wild monsters and monsters inhabiting, if it is not for the great danger hidden in it, it is here—it is a land with a master.
I'm afraid that the depths of this ancient land are even more terrifying than he originally imagined.
"You have to be more careful." The man said to himself in his heart, and then took out the dark yellow amber stone from his arms, which was the return order of Jin Yuanguo!
The man clutched the amber stone in his hand, and his gaze resolutely stepped into the deepest part of the Ancient Lands.
His pace began to become steady, although he was in a hurry, but the excessive silence of the environment made him dare not rush forward, in the spirit of calm and cautious character, he slowed down, calmed his breath, and observed the four directions as he walked forward step by step, so that he could deal with unexpected dangers on the road at any time.
But nothing happened along the way, and the environment was as quiet as ever, without any danger, making the men almost believe that the place was simply quiet.
It wasn't until nearly an hour of progress had passed the Mie Mountains that the man's footsteps had crossed the Mie Mountains that he finally noticed a hint of sound.
Hidden under the dragon mask, the man's brow furrowed slightly, and riding the wind that swept away his ears, he heard a few noisy calls in the distance.
"Is there finally something to show up......" The man stared at the mountains in front of him, and after a moment of silence, he continued to walk forward.
The man's steps became more steady, and he knew that soon he would see something hidden in the depths of the Ancient Lands. With each step he took, the cries from behind the mountain grew louder. Gradually, the cries he heard in his ears became more and more numerous, and the sound of what seemed to be a loud and long roar made him unnaturally speculate about what strange and powerful monster would be hiding behind this mountain.
The mountain was less than a thousand paces away from him, and soon he reached the base of the mountain, and then he followed the rough path up the mountain. In order to better conceal his figure, the man did not go to the top of the mountain, but found a gap left by the mountains in the middle of the mountain. Taking advantage of this natural tunnel, the man dived through the gap in the mountain and saw the scene behind the mountain.
The first thing I saw was a deep black.
The man was surprised for a moment, and when he looked closely, he found that a curved tree was growing outside the crack in the mountain, blocking most of his view. And the trunk of the tree was all black, so the moment it came into view, the man only saw a touch of deep blackness.
"The black trunk is really strange...... the man sighed in a low voice, and then moved his gaze outward, and then he inadvertently saw the branches and leaves of the tree, which turned out to be a touch of black, so his eyes subconsciously raised, and he saw that the branches and leaves on the black trunk were all black—the whole tree was dark black, without a trace of other colors.
The man's gaze instantly froze, and he seemed to have seen such black trees somewhere.
A great uneasiness arose in his subconscious, and the man immediately swept his sharp gaze around the black tree and swept towards the scene in the distance.
Behind the mountain where the man was hiding was an extremely large valley clearing.
When he looked past the black trees, he saw first mountain mushrooms emerging from the cracks in the cliffs, and then he saw a jungle growing along the mountain, covered with weeds, and occasionally a few lilies in the grass. Beyond the jungle, you can vaguely see huge rocks scattered in a vast clearing – but strangely enough, everything is the same deep black, whether it is the cliffs, the mushrooms, the jungle, the weeds, the lilies, the rocks and the clearing.
The whole world that the man saw through this gap was a deep darkness of dead silence!
Looking at this dark strange place, the man fell silent, his eyes were staring at a deep horror, although he was mentally prepared for all the shocking scenes along the way, but this scene hidden in the depths of the ancient still frightened him.
His stagnant gaze slowly retracted, and only then did he see that the ground in front of his feet was also black, as if he was stepping on the boundary between the outside world and the black land in front of him.
He really couldn't believe what he saw, but he looked out from afar, and all he saw was the same black color.
The black that hides the breath of death—it's a black ground!
A black ground that is exactly the same as the location of Afang Palace! All the scenery is dark, and everything is silent!
Looking at the secret that everyone didn't have time to know, the man stared at the extreme surprise in his pupils and asked-
"In this world, how can there be a second black land!!
