As Bai He began to speak, Zhou Yun also quieted down and began to listen.

"That Mirror Lake was originally just an ordinary lake in the north of our Northern Zhou Dynasty, because the northern frontier where we are located is the starting point of many rivers in the Black Flame Continent, there are many big lakes here, and Mirror Lake is not famous. It's just that one day a hundred years ago, a vision suddenly appeared in the mirror lake, and the thick fog on the lake surface, and in the thick fog, the image of a magnificent castle appeared. The effect was very real, and there was a faint golden glow in many of the windows of the castle image. Seeing such a vision, many warriors judged that there might be some heavy treasures in the mirror lake. ”

"Since then, there have been some warriors who have gone to Mirror Lake alone or in groups to find out. However, whenever the fog rises in the Mirror Lake, there will always be many powerful and fierce beasts entrenched, and nine times out of ten, the warriors who enter will die in it, and there will be no way to come out. With a look of memory in his eyes, Bai He slowly narrated.

Hearing this, Zhou Yun immediately asked, "Bai Lao, since you said that the Mirror Lake is extremely dangerous, and there is a chance that anyone who enters will die, then why are so many martial artists willing to take risks?"

As soon as Zhou Yun's words fell, the old man's face immediately showed a helpless smile, "People die for money! This is an eternal law, although it is dangerous in the Mirror Lake, there are occasionally some martial artists who can return from the Mirror Lake." As long as they can come out, these martial artists are all soaring, and there are not only advanced cheats and pills in the Mirror Lake Secret Realm, but also some heirloom treasures, and even the Crystal of Black Flame!"

"Black Flame Crystal!?" Hearing these words, Zhou Yun's eyes immediately lit up, this thing was what he urgently needed now. This time when he came to the Black Flame Continent, Zhou Yun was thinking about how to ask Bai He about the situation of this Black Flame Crystal, but he didn't want to say it himself.

"Well, that Black Flame Crystal, but the most precious thing in the entire continent, getting one grain is enough to transform the body and refine the body to a complete body. Not only is the cultivation improved quickly, but the cultivation bottleneck in the future can be easily crossed. Now the most powerful king of the Fire Luo Kingdom in our Northern Alliance was the one who explored the secret realm of Mirror Lake thirty years ago and obtained a black flame crystal, and since then he has soared into the sky. His face became slightly heavy, and Bai He gradually explained the purpose of the Black Flame Crystal.

Hearing this, Zhou Yun also fully understood the importance of this Mirror Lake Conference.

As Bai He said, people die for money, and birds die for food, which is an unchanging law for thousands of years. In the secret realm of Mirror Lake, not only can you get cheats and pills, but if you are lucky, you can also get something like the crystal of black flames, and since then you have soared into the sky, it is no wonder that many martial artists know that the road ahead is full of dangers, but they still have to give up their lives.

"The old city lord, that is, the father of your young lady, also went to the Mirror Lake Secret Realm, and never returned?" Suddenly remembering Fang Cai Baihe's words, Zhou Yun immediately spoke up.

Nodding silently, Bai He said quietly, "Yes, after Luo Tian, the lord of the Fire Luo Country, obtained the Black Flame Crystal, his strength has increased greatly, and the surrounding countries are no longer their opponents at all, not to mention that our White Moon City is not a country, just a small city." ”

"Later, Luo Tian organized an alliance of northern princes and forced everyone to join, and every time the Mirror Lake Secret Realm was opened, he would organize the Mirror Lake Conference, so that the people of the vassal states and cities in the alliance could enter the Mirror Lake Secret Realm to find the Black Flame Crystal and the Secret Treasure, otherwise they would be forcibly attacked. And the country or city with the least secret treasures, he will go to the dynasty and ask to deprive the lord of the country that is unfavorable, and we can only do what he asks. ”

With a look of astonishment on his face, Zhou Yun said, "This Luo Tian does this, doesn't the Northern Zhou Dynasty care?"

Looking at Zhou Yun's stunned appearance, Bai He smiled sadly and said loudly, "There are more than seventy fiefdom kingdoms and independent cities of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and this is still what remains after hundreds of years of attacking and killing each other, originally, there should be more than three hundred vassal states and independent cities here. This area is desolate and vast, and it takes at least a month to go to the capital from here, and the road is mountainous, watery, and there are not a few deserts next door, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty does not want to care about this place at all. Luo Tian is very good at being a man, and every year he travels thousands of miles to pay tribute to a large number of treasures, and the dynasty will not only punish him, but also support him. ”

After listening to Baihe's words, Zhou Yun finally understood that this place was a barren land, and no matter what it became, the Northern Zhou Dynasty would not care. Since Luo Tian is capable and can also pay tribute to a lot of treasures, it doesn't matter if he tosses at will.

It's just that this has caused these northern vassal states and independent cities to suffer.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Yun said, "Since Luo Tian's power is irresistible, why not just give him the city, with the old city lord's family background, it's good to live a superior life with peace of mind, why give up your life in vain?"

With a wry smile, Bai He burst out loud, "Junior Brother Zhou, you are from Liuyun Country, and you really don't know much about the situation here, so how can Luo Tian be so kind? If we give him the city, I'm afraid that the 100,000 people in the city will suffer." Where did you come from all the things that Luo Tian paid tribute every year? The old city lord loves the people like a son, and so does the young lady, they really don't want to see the people of the whole city become slaves. ”

Bai He's words fell, and Zhou Yun stopped talking, and now, Zhou Yun had completely figured out the problem in this area.

He had already seen it just now, and all the warriors here, including those coachmen, respected their young ladies from the bottom of their hearts. Now it seems that this respect is indeed not without reason.

"I should also go over and see this Mirror Lake Conference. No matter what, there is a Black Flame Crystal in that Mirror Lake, and I must not let it go. After thinking about it for a moment, Zhou Yun already had a plan in his heart.

After a brief conversation, Zhou Yun didn't speak, just followed Bai He's side and rode his horse all the way.

Soon, the sky was getting dark, the moon was rising, and the caravan came to a halt in the middle of the forest near a stream.

"Brother Zhou, it's already dark, we have to settle here at night, please wait a while, we will set up all the tents immediately." Commanding the convoy to stop, Bai He spoke to Zhou Yun.

"It's all up to Bai Lao's arrangement, and I can also help a little. Smiling slightly, Zhou Yun also turned over and got off the horse, tied his horse, and Zhou Yun also began to help the people in the team build tents.

These martial artists have already seen Zhou Yun's cultivation, and they all instinctively regard Zhou Yun as a super master, and they are extremely in awe, but seeing Zhou Yun so approachable, the eyes of these martial artists all exude excitement.

Soon, with Zhou Yun's help, seven or eight tents had been set up.

After the tent was set up, the woman in white armor finally stepped out of the carriage.

At this time, all the warriors had already found what they had to do, some of them were scattered to the perimeter to guard, and some of them were collecting firewood to make a fire and preparing to cook. Only Zhou Yun was left in the center of the small camp.

Walking down from the carriage, the woman came to Zhou Yun and saluted Zhou Yun, "Thank you for saving your life." ”

The voice was smart and extremely pleasant, and as she spoke, the woman's front also turned to Zhou Yun, and this time, her appearance was clearly reflected in Zhou Yun's eyes.

Under the close contact, Zhou Yun clearly saw the woman's delicate face that could almost make ordinary people can't help but feel like a horse, although this thrilling beauty is hidden under the coldness of the appearance, but it still brought Zhou Yun a great shock.

But now Zhou Yun's cultivation is already extremely profound, and his state of mind has also been honed very stable, and he will not be fascinated by this woman's appearance.

Smiling slightly, Zhou Yun said, "Miss doesn't have to be polite, when you go out, you should help each other." In the next Zhou Yun, dare to ask Miss Fang's name?"

Until now, Zhou Yun didn't know the woman's name, which also made Zhou Yun can't help but ask.

Looking at Zhou Yun's frank appearance, a soft smile also appeared on the woman's face, and in just a moment, it immediately gave people a feeling like a hundred flowers blooming.

"My name is Liu Xiaohan. Whispering, the woman responded.

Liu Xiaohan's smile made Zhou Yun also feel that her heartbeat was a little faster, and after a closer look, her smile was indeed very similar to Zhou Xue's smile when she was occasionally relaxed. It's just that this Liu Xiaohan is a little more beautiful than her sister Zhou Xue.

Zhou Yun is not a person who can please girls, and that Liu Xiaohan is obviously also under pressure, and he doesn't want to say more, after a simple conversation, there is an atmosphere of silence between the two.

At this time, Bai He, who had already arranged everything, had already walked back, "Little Brother Zhou, they are already preparing dinner, and the old man has brought a few pots of treasured good wine here, so we can have a good drink in the evening." ”

Seeing Bai He coming over, Liu Xiaohan gestured to Zhou Yun's eyes, turned around and returned to his tent.

Zhou Yun also turned around, greeted Bai He, and smiled, "Bai Laodu has already taken out the treasured wine, how dare Zhou Yun refuse?"

"Haha, Brother Zhou is really a bold person, let's go, I saw a lot of wild mushrooms on the road just now, you can accompany me to pick a little and come back." Although Liu Xiaohan encountered a little danger, this danger was resolved by Zhou Yun. On the way back, there was no trouble, and Baihe's mood was rarely better. Naturally, he wanted to pull Zhou Yun for a drink.

Seeing that Bai He was in a good mood, Zhou Yun also smiled and walked out with him.

Picked some fresh wild mushrooms, and everything in the camp was almost ready. Everyone's dinner is the meat of the whole body of wild goats, with fresh wild mushrooms picked by Zhou Yun and Baihe, and a little broth stewed with refined salt, which is original and delicious.

After dinner was ready, Bai He first packed one in a delicate small bowl and gave it to Liu Xiaohan, and then a group of warriors sat on the ground and began to drink and eat at the same time.

Between eating and drinking, Zhou Yun's relationship with this group of people quickly became familiar, and after an hour, except for a few martial artists who were preparing to keep vigil at night, the others were all drunk.

Although Zhou Yun also drank a lot of wine, alcohol was not lethal to him at all.

Entering his tent, Zhou Yun immediately began to close his eyes and slowly cultivated.

It wasn't until midnight that a slight flow of true power at the far end made Zhou Yun wake up from his cultivation.
