Chapter 140: A Palace of Stone
There is also a kind sunshine shining down in the ice and snow, but the sunlight is not warm at all, Xiao Zhinan, who is gently biting the grilled fish, has a side face in front of Li Mengzhou's eyes, and his peerless face makes his heart throb slightly.
He looked down at the fire, took the grilled fish in his hand, and said softly: "That's why you have to walk out of the sword house and come to the mountains and rivers of the world to draw your sword, you are the future of Lang Huan Sword House, you must become strong enough to even make the world fearful." ”
Xiao Zhinan said: "The teacher respects and worships the only female sword fairy in the golden age of Jianmen, Jianlu inherits the sword intent of Lang Huan Sword Immortal, is the disciple of Lang Huan Sword Immortal, Jian Lu will uphold the will of the only female sword fairy, the teacher failed to do it, but she is also very close to the threshold, as the only personal inheritance of Jianlu, I also want to uphold this will and become a new female sword immortal." ”
Li Mengzhou said: "The Holy Land of Sword Gate's Qi Luck has been suppressed, if the sword cultivators outside want to achieve sword immortals, they must go to Sword Mountain, if they can regather the sword intent of the thirty-three sword immortals in the golden age, the luck of the sword gate can be reappeared, this road is long and obstructive, but the young sword cultivators should have this kind of thought, otherwise what is the difference with waste wood?"
Xiao Zhinan finished eating the grilled fish in his hand, looked at the Heavenly Forsaken Wasteland, and said: "They should all meet there, but I hope that there will be a chance to draw a sword there, not just Tang Shenjiang." ”
The heavy thundercloud was clearly visible, and they couldn't sense any aura there at all, but Li Mengzhou and Xiao Zhinan had delayed too much time in Baihong Town, maybe the cultivators who rushed to the Heavenly Forsaken Wasteland had arrived in the wasteland a month earlier, and they didn't know if it would be too late for them to rush over now.
Li Mengzhou grabbed a handful of snow, wiped the stains off his hands, stood up and said, "Then let's talk while walking." ”
The banks of the Tianhe River were very quiet, the thick ice was clean and flawless, and there were only occasional dead branches poking their heads out of the snow, and they walked side by side on the shore, gradually approaching the Heavenly Forsaken Wasteland.
The scenery of the Abandoned Wasteland is very special.
That is, it is a wasteland, and it is naturally very barren.
The further you go, the more desolate the scene becomes.
And there are thunderclouds rolling over the abandoned wasteland, the color is very strange, the withered yellow mountain rocks are covered with snow, and there are many places on the stone wall that have been scorched black by lightning strikes.
In front of the wasteland, there are several houses made of stone, which are very large, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are palaces made of stone.
There are signs of activity there.
Tang Wenliu is the head of the four gods of Jiang Kingdom, he is not very resident in the wasteland to guard, his duty is to guard the frontier, and there are other strong people in the wasteland station, but because they are not far away, Tang Wenliu will also have a lot of time to appear in the wasteland.
Because the army of the Tang God General is stationed in the frontier, and the Tang God General is also guarding the Heavenly Abandoned Wasteland, it is difficult for the capital to believe that there is a problem with the Heavenly Abandoned Wasteland, after all, Tang Wenliu, the head of the four god generals, is one of the strongest people in the Five Realms of Jiang Kingdom, and he may break the barriers of the Five Realms at any time.
It is a veritable invincible god general, and his prestige intimidates all dynasties.
But the trip to abandon the wasteland is a must.
Li Mengzhou and Xiao Zhinan can already faintly see the appearance of the abandoned wasteland.
They stopped on a high slope.
"This is the Heavenly Abandoned Wasteland that suppressed the strong people outside the mountain during the Demon Swing Period, even the air gives people a feeling of suffocation, the layer of thunderclouds above is covered all year round, and thunder and lightning fall from time to time, how do people outside the mountain survive inside?"
Xiao Zhinan thought about it seriously and said: "Maybe it is the terrible environment in the Heavenly Forsaken Wasteland, and the thunder and lightning that have made the physique of the people outside the mountain more indestructible, if the people outside the mountain in the Heavenly Forsaken Wasteland are still alive, then they are likely to become even stronger than before." ”
Li Mengzhou recalled the classics he had read, as well as more understanding of the Demon Suppression Period before leaving, and said: "The demon suppression barriers in the wasteland and the snow-capped mountains were all jointly arranged by the great freedom powerhouses who broke the barriers of the Five Realms back then, unless the people outside the mountains inside can also break the barriers of the Five Realms, it is impossible to escape in this life." ”
Xiao Zhinan said: "Being able to openly provoke the monks of the world during the Demon Eradication Period, including the quiet land of the mountains and seas, how can there be no existence in the people outside the mountains to break the barriers of the Five Realms." It's just that the Demon Suppression Barrier was jointly arranged by a number of Great Freedom powerhouses, and the possibility that they have a chance to escape is not what you say, but it requires more powerhouses outside the mountain who break the barriers of the Five Realms to do it. ”
Li Mengzhou patted his head and said, "It's sloppy." ”
He looked at the endless thunderclouds condensing and said, "If those people outside the mountains who suddenly appeared in the territory of Jiang Country are indeed connected with the Heavenly Abandoned Wasteland, does it mean that the people outside the mountains in the wasteland really have a strong person who breaks the barrier of the Five Realms?
Xiao Zhinan obviously knows more than Li Mengzhou, even if she came to Jiang Country for the first time, she knows more about some of the things that happened in Jiang Country than Li Mengzhou.
She glanced at Li Mengzhou slightly, and said: "Zhuge Dan, who is making trouble in the capital, has been lurking in the palace for many years, and there have been hundreds of outsiders gathering in Dongjun, but they are very unlucky to be met by Bai Shuo, the peak master of Bailu Peak, and they will all be killed." ”
"What can be confirmed is that those outsiders in Dongjun and Zhuge Dan lurking in the palace have escaped since the Demon Eradication period, and have not been suppressed in the wasteland or the remnants of the snowy mountains. ”
"And now more outsiders are coming forward, it may be that they have secretly developed a power, but it is true that we cannot ignore the possibility of some outsiders escaping from the wasteland. ”
Li Mengzhou groped his chin and pondered: "If the former is okay, just find them all, but if it is the latter, things will become very troublesome, which means that there is a problem with the demon suppression barrier, and it is likely that the suppressed people outside the mountain will have a chance to escape." ”
Xiao Zhinan nodded and said, "This is also the main reason why His Majesty the Emperor Jiang asked you to rush to the Heavenly Forsaken Wasteland. ”
Li Mengzhou looked at the 'palace' made of stones below, and said with some doubts: "It stands to reason that Senior Brother and they have already come here, why is it so empty now, the cultivators who rushed to the Heavenly Forsaken Wasteland from all over Jiang Country, except for some outsiders who only stayed in the local area to destroy the mountain, but there should be not a few people who rushed here, although that 'palace' is not small, it is impossible for everyone to be crowded inside, right?"
Xiao Zhinan said: "Maybe we really came too late, something must have happened here, and we can see the details when we go to that 'palace' to see." ”
The two men jumped down the high slope and walked towards the stone-built 'palace'.
Seeing the scenery of the abandoned wasteland, Li Mengzhou felt a lot of emotion in his heart, this is really not a place for people.
Except for the stones, the stones are the stones, the land is barren, and it is all about luck to find a grass.
If it weren't for the snow cover at the moment, the overall perception would have been somewhat improved, otherwise the scene of all loess would be even more desolate.
The 'palace' made of stone had no door, and the front was like the entrance to a cave, and it was pitch black when you looked inside.
Although there are oil lamps on both sides of the stone wall, they are not lit, and because of the thunderclouds that rage all year round, it is dark and dreary day and night, and it is rare to see the light, which is extremely depressing.
Li Mengzhou silently wondered if the cultivators from various dynasties who were guarding here would be driven crazy in this environment.
They stood in front of the 'palace' and felt for a moment, but they didn't know if it was because of the environment here, their perception was greatly hindered, and they didn't notice anything at all, which made them all wonder if there was no one in this 'palace' at all.
But they soon dispelled this idea, for the sound of footsteps was heard in the dark 'palace', and a dark shadow came out of the cave door.
It was an old man, wearing a Confucian robe, which was the costume of the academy.
The god general Tang Wenliu guarded the frontier, because it was not far from the Heavenly Abandonment Wasteland, so he also cooperated with the guarding of the wasteland, but in fact, Jiang Guo's real cultivation powerhouse guarding the Heavenly Abandonment Wasteland came from the Pear Flower Academy, and in addition, there was also a great sword cultivator in the Western Jin Dynasty Sword Pavilion and a master of the Southern Yu Dry Temple who guarded the wasteland.
Outside the Heavenly Abandoned Snow Mountain, there are also strong cultivators from nearby dynasties, and they are all from the quiet places of mountains and seas.
Although Li Mengzhou and Xiao Zhinan didn't recognize the old man, they also knew that he was a great cultivator in the Pear Blossom Academy, so they respectfully saluted and said, "Li Mengzhou of the Palace Sword Academy has seen Mr. ”
"Lang Huan Jianlu, Xiao Zhinan has seen Mr. ”
The old man in the Confucian robe looked at Li Mengzhou and Xiao Zhinan, and said softly: "His Majesty the Emperor sent you to enter the world to practice, and the Heavenly Abandonment Wasteland is the final destination, but you are more than half a month late. ”
Li Mengzhou and Xiao Zhinan glanced at each other, and the former said: "We did delay some time on the way, I hope the seniors will forgive us, I don't know why the people who arrived in front of us are missing?"
The old man in the Confucian robe said: "They are scattered everywhere to inspect the Heavenly Forsaken Wasteland, and they have encountered some trouble, since you are late, you are not in a hurry to meet them, and you are very tired from the wind and dust along the way, so let's rest here." ”
Xiao Zhinan frowned and said, "Dare to ask the seniors, what trouble did they encounter? Could it be that there are really people from outside the mountain who escaped from the Heavenly Abandoned Wasteland?"
The old man in the Confucian robe squatted down, grabbed a handful of snow from the ground, stuffed it directly into his mouth, and said lightly: "The strong men of the mountains and seas in the dynasties of the Heavenly Abandoned Wasteland are guarding, how can there be people from outside the mountains who can escape from inside? ”
Li Mengzhou looked at the actions of the old man in the Confucian robe with some astonishment, although he had also eaten snow when he was a child, but the actions of the old man in the Confucian robe still made him feel a little weird, and it was too quiet here, and the 'palace' made of stones was also pitch black, extremely weird, his brows were deeply furrowed, and he always felt that something was strange.
