Under the high sun, the sweeping army was like a whirlwind, galloping along the official road with the sound of horses' hooves. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The team did not unfurl the flag, and from a distance all you could see was rising smoke and dust, and the thundering sound of horses' hooves. If you are farther away, it will feel like a colony of ants moving very fast, and of course, if you look closer, the black ants will turn into greedy wolves in an instant.

The sweeping army was very punctual and pulled out the camp at the appointed time, and then a team of 1,000 people turned into a fierce tiger and pounced on the gate of heaven.

Yuan Lai sat on the horse, surrounded by silence except for the sound of the horse's whistle.

In a depressed, secretly excited, and secretly fishy atmosphere, he began to recall in his mind the information about the Tianmen Pass.

Tianmen Pass is a pass on the border line of the Western Regions of the Great Apocalypse.

Its topography is natural, just a mouth formed by heaven and earth, and on both sides are the branches of the Qianshan Mountain Range.

Therefore, it is also known as the west gate of the Great Apocalypse Empire.

The Northwest Army has an army of 20,000 people stationed in Tianmen Pass, of course, there are only 100 outposts at the pass, and its unique position is self-evident.

According to the historical records of the Great Apocalypse, when the foreigners outside the Northwest Pass were strong, tens of thousands of battles broke out at this Tianmen Pass, and its tragedy has now turned into a string of numbers, but it still makes Yuan Lai frightened when he reads it.

But that was a long time ago, since the end of the Great War a long time ago, the foreigners outside the Guanguan have never formed a force enough to make the empire pay attention, at most they are some small forces, and they are beaten by the Northwest Army from time to time.

Therefore, the legend about Tianmen Pass has slowly shifted from the mundane to the practitioners.

Because all the wise cultivators like to go to remote places, wash away the world, and keep their hearts close to heaven and earth, so as to improve their state of mind, as the gateway to the West, I don't know how many practitioners go out from the Gate of Heaven.

Yuan Lai understood this very well, and in his memory, there were also people in the world without cultivators who traveled west alone in order to pursue that ethereal state of mind.

What's more, the cultivation of your state of mind in this world is so important.

It is also because there are many top cultivators who go from the west of Tianmen Pass, so this place has slowly taken on a mysterious color, especially in the impression of ordinary people, this Tianmen Pass has changed from a military place to a kind of immortal place.

Of course, Yuan Lai wouldn't believe those things, but in his eyes, Tianmen Pass did have an unusual meaning.

That's ......

The ancestor of the Yun Sect left the Tianmen Pass three hundred years ago and never returned.

Three hundred years have passed, and people who want to come have died outside the gate early.

Reason told him so, but Yuan Lai still had a secret expectation, the identity of the ancestor of the Yun Sect was something he had always wanted to know, but he couldn't know his name after searching for it, and he was inextricably linked with the first Zhang Guandao, which was also an important reason why he was in a hurry to go out to practice.

Yuan Lai subconsciously touched his chest, and in the deepest and most secret pocket of his clothes, there was the star fragment.

Mr. Liao's words rang in his ears.

"Luck...... If this thing really brings me good luck, then don't let me come for nothing. ”

Yuan Lai thought secretly, and then cheered up, and looked up at the front of the team while riding a horse, in front of Kansai and a few strange cultivators side by side, it seemed that they should know each other, so Yuan Lai thought about it and turned his head to look at the cold-faced girl riding next to him.

"Hey, do you know where we're going to go first after we get out of customs?"

Liu Zhaonan turned his head stiffly and rolled his eyes at him, and just when Yuan Lai thought she wouldn't answer, Liu Zhaonan's cold voice reached his ears.

"Innocent!"

"What?" Yuan Lai thought he had misheard.

Liu Zhaonan looked at him with his eyes and said: "I said that you are too naïve! This is to sweep and kill people, not to attack the city! Where are you going, you can tell everyone in advance? Do you think there will really be no eyeliner of those people in this team? Once you say it, before we arrive, the enemy has already run out!"

Yuan Lai was stunned for a moment, and then laughed dumbly.

Of course he understands this truth, but he didn't think of it for a while just now, but Liu Zhaonan found an opportunity to despise himself fiercely, and he was not angry, and said with a smile: "You are right, I want to be simple." ”

He admitted with a smile here, which suddenly made the high-spirited Miss Liu feel as if her fist had hit the cotton, and her face was a little unsightly.

With a cold snort, he kicked the horse's belly violently with his legs, and suddenly accelerated to leave Yuan Lai with a clear and beautiful back.

Yuan Lai touched his nose, and a smile bloomed in his eyes.

......

By the time this team of thousands of people swarmed to the Tianmen Pass, the defenders were already waiting, and Jiang Yan, who was leading the army, only showed his face, and the defenders opened the door, and then the sweeping army rushed out of the pass almost all the time.

This made Yuan Lai, who had planned to take a closer look at the Tianmen Pass, a little disappointed.

Soon, though, his spirit was drawn to something else.

After leaving the Gate of Heaven, the team galloped diagonally southward, and soon after, the terrain quietly changed, and some scattered weeds began to appear on the ground. Clusters of grass that had faded green began to appear, and this change only meant one thing, that is, they had entered the grassland outside the Guanwai.

The grassland in winter is really nothing to see, and the sparse grass certainly can't make the horses pay any attention, and even Ono, who is still very curious, just looks at it curiously for a while and then withdraws his gaze.

However, the moment they set foot on this land.

Yuan Lai suddenly had an indescribable feeling, this wonderful feeling came suddenly, without any warning.

It wasn't born alert, it wasn't anything else, Yuan Lai frowned and looked at the endless expanse of the grassland, and the mountains with dark colors in the distance, he looked blankly, and suddenly raised his head and looked up at the sky.

The sky outside the gate is different from the sky inside the gate.

This difference is subjective, unreasonable, it only takes one step to go abroad, but the difference between before and after feels the world, in Yuan Lai's eyes, the sky of the grassland is very high and far away, the sun is suddenly much hotter, the clouds are thin and indifferent, at the bottom of his eyes, reflecting the monotonous scenery of the sky, but on the background of the scenery that has nothing to see, there is a faint, difficult to see gray-white colored clouds.

It was as if there was an invisible river "floating" in the sky, the "river" was not straight, but the zigzag direction was always longitudinal, the end was behind them, and the source was in the west.

The "river" shades the sun, so in the sparkling waves of the sky, Yuan Lai seems to see two suns, one is real, and the other is a product of refraction, because they are at the same vertical height, so the two suns seem to be on the same plane, there is a small distance between them, and both emit a hazy light.

He suddenly remembered the world in his previous life, and he always heard that the grassland people believed in immortality and thought that there were gods in the sky.

Now, when he looked at the "big river", he always vaguely felt that behind the river, there was a pair of eyes looking down on them, and that person was like standing on the bank, looking down on the fish swimming in the water.

What if they're fish? And who are the people standing outside the river?

Immortality?

Or is it...... God?
