Chapter 3: The Divine Underworld
The dark swamp, dead trees can be seen everywhere, the dark blue ghost fire clings to the dead wood, the white bones of the forest are half buried in the mud, the swamp is very quiet, the silence makes people's hearts palpitate, as if they are in the realm of death, there is no life.
A piece of dead wood, a ragged boy lying in the mud, the young man's face was pale, his silhouette was vaguely handsome, and his whole body was covered with blood, he slowly opened his eyes, and then closed them again, panting slightly, as if the movement of opening his eyes just now had exhausted the strength of his whole body
Kind.
After a long time, the young man opened his eyes, his godless eyes slowly looked at the surrounding environment, as if he had thought of something, the golden light in the young man's eyes flashed, and the original black pupils instantly turned into a strange purple, but soon returned to normal.
The young man frowned, looked down at his right hand, and saw a touch of golden light overflowing from the middle finger of his right hand slowly rotating around his right hand, and the young man muttered to himself, "Is it that I am the only one who escaped, why can't I feel the slightest breath from them, here."
What a place".
After saying that, the boy struggled to get up with the help of the dead wood behind him, but he did not fall into the mud faster as he wished.
"What's the matter, I can't lift up a little strength in my whole body, what kind of place is this, how can the aura be depleted to such a point, the Ancient Magic Array?Forbidden Land?Why has my cultivation been weakened to the point that even mortals are inferior?"
The young man sat cross-legged, his hands pinched quickly, and he made one mysterious handprint after another, operating his own mystical skills.
As soon as the result was running, black smoke appeared out of thin air around him and rushed into his body, and in just an instant, the aura in the young man's body was like a wild horse raging in his body, the young man's face was flushed, and he resisted the urge to vomit blood, and kept slapping his acupuncture points to stabilize the body wreaking havoc
The aura, as a result, became more and more serious, and with a whoop, a large mouthful of blood was spit out.
Blood was spilled, mixed with a little golden light, and the young man's consciousness was blurred for a while, and he fainted.
On the periphery of the Forgotten Plains, an old man with a snow-white beard, dressed in a gossip diagram, with a majestic body, and a golden long whip, looked at the snowflakes falling in the sky mixed with a little blood, sighed lightly, and said with a slight twist of his fingers, "Blood and snow are drifting, the demon sacrifice is out, the Sword God Pavilion, the sword demon is present, how can it be?"
The Sword God Pavilion that disappeared thousands of years ago is about to reappear in the world, how can there be such signs, could it be that something really happened, eh! What an eventful season, the Kyushu Continent has been calm for so long, could it be that something catastrophe will happen."
With that, the old man walked into the distance on the snowflakes, and disappeared into the vast snow in just an instant.
In a luxurious mansion, a middle-aged man wearing a golden silk coat and a big belly said, "Recently, there has been news from the border wilderness, Zhongnan Mountain, which has survived for thousands of years, sent disciples to come out to practice
With the support of Zhongnan Mountain, I will definitely ascend to the sky in one step, and I don't have to look at the old immortal eyes of the clan, and the position of the head of the family will inevitably fall into my hands."
A man in an iron suit and a murderous aura next to him said, "Why should the city lord care about this, not to mention that the Southern Wilderness is far away from us, where can we win over such characters?"
"Hmph! This is not necessarily, Zhongnan Mountain sent down the disciples, it must be for the five major families of the Sword God Pavilion that suddenly appeared some time ago, you said that if I send the thing we found some time ago to the disciples of Zhongnan Mountain, will they be interested in us?"
"You mean to that ......"
"Shhh, be careful that the wall has ears, you know this matter, you must not let others know, and I don't know how much that thing is worth, I always feel that it is too weird, it will lead to death, forget it, let's keep it for ourselves!
Some old ghosts are not on the same level as them, and I don't know when I can reach that trembling point, I am unwilling!"
"Why should the city lord be discouraged, your identity is different, there will always be a day when you will come out, although you can't reach the height of Zhongnan Mountain, but you must be above ten thousand people, the lord of one side"
"That's it, those old things don't know what they're thinking, send me to guard such a small city, you said that Zhongnanshan has not seen a disciple for a hundred years, this time send two at once, will it be because of the extreme west?"
"This can't be, they are guarding the Southern Wilderness in Zhongnan Mountain, and they are one of the best religions in the south, but we also have a comparable sect in the west, how can they allow Zhongnan Mountain to intervene?"
"I can't say that, the extreme west is very important, involving the characters of the primeval period, if I hadn't secretly heard the ancestor of the clan reveal a word, I didn't know that there was such a demonic place, why didn't I feel it before, I feel that several snobbery will unite
Let's explore together, after all, it's not a force that can eat it, they eat meat, and we always have to share some scraps."
"City Lord, how can we have the strength to snatch food in the tiger's mouth, I'm afraid they won't stay at all"
The man in the golden silk robe smiled coldly and said, "The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, they seek power, we seek wealth, there is no conflict of interest between the two, you go and prepare, if they really want to go to the extreme west, they must pass through me, the tiger town, as soon as the people of Zhongnan Mountain arrive, we."
I'm going to meet them right away, I don't want to miss this opportunity to climb them."
"Yes, I'll prepare."
The boy opened his eyes again to find himself lying on a wooden mat, the fluffy futon smelling slightly damp, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
The sky was a little dark, and I don't know when it started to rain lightly, and the sound of the rain seemed to indicate the passage of time.
The door opened, and an old man walked in with a bowl of steaming noodles.
The old man was very kind, and when he saw that the young man was awake, he smiled slightly, and the wrinkles on his face suddenly crawled all over his face, "You woke up, I cooked you a bowl of noodles with wild rabbit meat and old ginseng stewed soup, your body is too weak, the mountains and wilderness are wasteland, there are no good things, eat this tonic first"
The young man was stunned for a moment, a trace of doubt spread in his heart, he looked at the old man, took the noodle bowl and said, "Who are you, why am I here."
The old man said, "I am a forest ranger here, and I went out to patrol the forest today, and I saw you fainting in the forest, so I brought you back."
"Thank you seniors for saving your life, may I ask what kind of place is this?"
The old man sighed, and said with some doubts, "You don't know what kind of place this is, didn't you come out with the elders of the family to practice?"
"Ahh,......hh I am"
"Oh, I was abrupt, I asked what I shouldn't have asked, you don't have to answer, it's okay, this is the Forgotten Plains, the westernmost part of the continent, by the way, what's your name?"
The boy didn't hesitate this time, "My name is Shenming"
"God's surname, this surname is rare, it must be from the south"
"Ah, I have no father or mother since I was a child, I wander around, I have a home everywhere, and I don't know where I am from, and the name Shen Ming is the name I gave myself"
"Oh, I see, the noodles are getting cold, you eat first, rest early after eating, and I'll send you to town tomorrow"
"Thank you seniors, kindness will be rewarded"
"Hehe, you kid is a little interesting, see that you and I are destined, I will introduce you to an errand and solve your displacement, how about it?"
"Ahh
"Is anyone there?" a rough voice came from outside.
The old man smiled slightly and said, "You can rest after eating, I'll go to meet the guests."
"Okay, senior, go get busy"
About an hour later, the old man walked in, and said to Shen Ming apologetically, "I have something urgent tomorrow, I'm afraid I can't send you to town."
"You don't go with me, it's okay senior, you're busy with yours, I can go by myself"
"You take this jade plate, tomorrow I will send you out of the Forgotten Plains, then there will be an official road, you can find Huju Town all the way to the east, and when you get to show the jade plate I gave you to the defenders, they will arrange it for you"
"Oh, thank you seniors"
