Li Qingyun's protection lasted for five days, and five days later, one early morning, the fog behind him slowly dissipated, and at the same time, the divine tree dispersed.

Standing high in the sky, looking at the endless forest in front of him, Li Qingyun's eyes were full of light, and the Heavenly Divine Tree really disappeared with the disappearance of the mist, which undoubtedly confirmed his previous guess.

The place where the Divine Tree is located is not this world at all, but another different dimension.

"In ancient times, countless divine beasts and strange beasts existed, but in modern times, they are rarely heard of, and their lifespan is definitely not dead, I am afraid that they are hiding in another world like a divine tree."

"I just don't know if that world is a small world that is broken or a connected big world?"

Li Qingyun thought about it, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and flew towards Waize.

This time he finally stopped the Ghost King from capturing the Yellow Bird, he didn't know how powerful the Four Spirit Blood Array was, he just understood that he didn't put all his hopes on the Zhuxian Sword.

"In the final analysis, my own strength is not enough, if I have the strength of the Heavenly Emperor, why worry about the Four Spirits Blood Array, even the Eight Spirits Blood Array, will also be destroyed for him."

......

A day later, Li Qingyun came to Dawang Village, and the matter of the strange treasure was settled with the disappearance of the Divine Tree.

Li Qingyun stepped on the village road, looked left and right, and frowned in no hurry.

It stands to reason that the people of both the righteous and the demonic realms have left Dawang Village, and the residents here have resumed their lives, although they can no longer make money, but it is better than fighting and killing all day long, and the day is precarious.

So they should be happy, but what he met and saw was all sad faces, and he couldn't stop looking in the direction of Death, as if something terrifying was threatening them.

Li Qingyun frowned, quickened his pace, opened his eyes, and soon found Lu Xueqi and them in a courtyard.

With a creak, pushing open the rotten wooden door, he saw Lu Xueqi and the others discussing something seriously.

Seeing Li Qingyun come back, everyone was overjoyed at first, and then Lu Xueqi said solemnly: "Senior brother, you came back just in time, we are in trouble." ”

......

A secluded place outside Dawang Village, near a swamp, a place with lush grass.

"Go check it out." Lu Xueqi said.

There seemed to be something ahead that they didn't want to see, and everyone else just walked here and didn't move forward.

Li Qingyun stepped forward slowly, looked into the grass, and his face changed dramatically in an instant.

I saw that the grass looked no different from the surroundings on the outside, but in the middle it was dyed bright red by human blood, and the smell of blood came to my nose, and I wanted to vomit when I smelled it. Under the dense grass, there were more than twenty human bones, and the death was horrible, and almost everyone's body was shattered into several pieces.

Li Qingyun has also seen a lot of big scenes and is used to seeing bloody storms, but this is the first time he has seen such cruel methods.

He closed his eyes, calmed down, and then regained his composure, and slowly stepped forward to examine the bones carefully.

Lu Xueqi followed behind him and said in a low voice: "These people include the villagers of Dawang Village, and there are also foreign treasure hunters, all of whom died last night, and they were slaughtered silently in the middle of the night. ”

Li Qingyun's face was slightly gloomy, and he said slowly: "Who is the murderer?" Got a clue? ”

Lu Xueqi didn't answer immediately, but said, "Senior brother, come here to have a look." ”

Li Qingyun followed Lu Xueqi to the depths of the grass. In the deeper part of the grass, there is a corpse, but this corpse is not human, the fish-headed human body is a fish monster that has been encountered once before.

"Senior brother, what is this fish monster?" Lu Xueqi asked.

Behind him, the disciples of Qingyun Sect also gathered over, Zhou Zhou Xian and Xiaohuan had already left, Li Qingyun acted as a commentator, and said: "The fish monster is talking about the fish people of the 100,000 mountains and 63 alien races in southern Xinjiang. According to their own legends, they are the descendants of the ancient fish god and the human woman, and they have always regarded themselves as the descendants of the fish god. This alien race has always been cruel and easy to kill, and it is believed that both animals and humans can only chop up and kill ghosts at the same time by cutting the corpse into pieces after slaughter, so as to avoid future troubles. Therefore, under their hands, whether it is animals or people, most of them can't even save a whole corpse. ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they couldn't imagine that there was such a cruel race.

Lu Xueqi frowned and said, "Senior brother, why have you never heard of such a ferocious alien race in the past?" ”

Li Qingyun said: "We have always lived in the Central Plains, so naturally we don't know about such wild alien races, and I also understand it from the gods and demons. Among the 100,000 mountains in southern Xinjiang, there are poor mountains with bad water everywhere, and the people there drink blood, which is completely different from the civilized people of the Central Plains. However, those alien races have always been accustomed to where their ancestors lived, and on the road that the land of Middle Earth must pass through to connect with southern Xinjiang, it is where the 'Incense Valley', one of the three major decent sects in the world, is located, and occasionally a few barbarians run over, and most of them are killed by the disciples of the Incense Valley with the immortal Taoism, so the Central Plains has never known the details of the alien races in southern Xinjiang. ”

The people of Qingyunmen nodded slowly, and suddenly Du Bishu said: "Senior brother, according to what you said, it is understandable to occasionally run a foreign race in, but let's not talk about the two we encountered, I heard that other people have also encountered a lot in the dead river, this is obviously a large group of foreign races in action, but such a large group of foreign races entered the Central Plains silently, and arrived at the death swamp that is not less than 10,000 miles away from southern Xinjiang, it is simply impossible." Unless something goes wrong in the Incense Valley in southern Xinjiang......"

Du Bishu didn't continue, but the meaning had been clearly expressed, and the appearance of a fish monster in Dead Ze must be closely related to the Incense Valley.

Li Qingyun pondered for a moment and said, "The alien race in Southern Xinjiang is not a trivial matter, there are countless strange things there, once it really invades the Central Plains in an all-round way, the damage caused will only be more violent than that of the Demon Sect, Senior Sister..."

Li Qingyun looked at Lu Xueqi, and in her gaze, said: "The matter of Death Ze, there are still fish monsters that need to be reported to the sect in time, you go back first, I will go to find out the information, if I don't reply in January, don't hesitate, just let the head of the sect bring someone to southern Xinjiang......"

Speaking of this, Li Qingyun's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice: "You remember, once an accident happens, the Incense Valley is not credible, understand?" ”

"Yes." Everyone was shocked, and suddenly felt that the wind and rain were coming.

"This matter can't be delayed, senior sister, let's go our separate ways, be careful on the road." Li Qingyun said.

"You also have to be careful, don't be reckless, if you are really in big trouble, go back to the sect first." Lu Xueqi said.

The two looked at each other, hugged each other suddenly, and said at the same time, "Wait for me." ”

"I'll wait for you."

......

The Badlands of Southern Xinjiang, in the extreme south of the vast land of Shenzhou, is said to be poor mountains and bad waters, rich in poisonous insects and beasts. The most obvious boundary with the Central Plains is in the extreme south, where it suddenly rises like a flat land, with tall and majestic mountains one after another, towering into the clouds, separating the north and the south.

Since ancient times, few people in the fertile land of the Central Plains have gone to southern Xinjiang for no other reason, first, the roads are steep, secondly, there are too many poisonous insects, miasma and bad water, and the land is barren and cannot be farmed. Later, I don't know when it began, the world began to spread that in the endless mountains of southern Xinjiang, there are all kinds of barbaric alien races, Ru Mao drinks blood, cruel and easy to kill, among which there are more terrifying orcs who eat human flesh, and since then no one dares to go, but the world is terrified, day and night worried about whether those alien races will one day, suddenly run out of those mountains, invade the Central Plains, and endanger the world.

However, in the past thousand years, there have been no rumors of barbarian harm, although occasionally in the southern border areas, there have been a few cases of strange monsters appearing from time to time, but most of them died without a problem, and they were gradually forgotten by people. Nowadays, even the people living in the southern frontier are probably only the mothers who say the words "If you are disobedient, those barbarian monsters will come to catch you" when their mothers put their children to sleep at night, but on weekdays, no one will ever think about whether these alien races in the deep mountains really exist, let alone the Central Plains, which is thousands of miles away.

Speaking of which, the 100,000 mountains shrouded in layers of fog are now forgotten by the people of the world.

However, the ordinary people in the world have forgotten these alien races, but there are some people who have cultivated the true Dao and have not forgotten. Regardless of the righteous and evil ways, as long as the seniors are older, they will know that the reason why the southern alien races have not been able to harm the world in the past thousand years is that the "Incense Valley" of the righteous path giant sect is really a great contribution.

The 100,000 towering mountains cut off the north and south, and the people of the Central Plains could not go south, and it was difficult for those foreign barbarians to go north. But a thousand years ago, an incredible thunderstorm fell from the sky, killing and injuring countless people within a radius of thousands of miles. After the catastrophe, someone found that in the majestic mountain range, the heavenly thunder force actually cracked open a certain part of the high mountain, revealing a dark path only three feet wide.

That is, from that time on, among the 100,000 mountains in the world, there were hidden barbarian monsters, who intruded on the people from time to time, and the people in the border areas were miserable, until the emergence of the Incense Valley.

Incense Valley in the righteous path of the sects, the origin is the most mysterious and ethereal, as early as 1,500 years ago, there are disciples of this line to walk the world, if you talk about the origin alone, only Qingyunmen and the Demon Sect in the whole world have a longer history than the Incense Valley, even Tianyin Temple is not as good as it.

But despite this, this faction was extremely low-key in the past, although from time to time there will be a few people with profound Taoism, but the impact on the situation in the world is not great. Until 800 years ago, this faction found a valley near the dark tunnel on the border of southern Xinjiang and settled down, and since then it has called itself "Burning Incense Valley", and in 800 years, incredible masters have emerged, and their power has become more and more powerful, and now it has fought against Qingyunmen and Tianyin Temple, and has become one of the three major factions of the righteous path in the world.

Correspondingly, Yun Yilan, the contemporary valley master of Incense Valley, is also a righteous path giant on the same level as Qingyunmen Dao Xuan Zhenren and Master Puhong of Tianyin Temple, but this person has always been low-key, but his reputation alone is not as good as the above two.

Because of its geography, the Valley of Incense took on the role of guarding the dark path known locally as the "Black Hole", and since then, there have been no rumors of barbarian monsters infesting the people. Therefore, in the hearts of the local people, the Incense Valley has a very high reputation and is revered as a first-class immortal.

Recalling the information about Nanban and Incense Valley in his mind, Li Qingyun looked at the countless majestic mountains in front of him and felt a lot of emotion.

In fact, according to the modern geographical location, Nanban is YN, SC and other areas, thinking that in ancient times everyone was fighting Nanban, and in modern times he is a part of Nanban, that kind of vicissitudes of life has a feeling.

"Why do you want to do so much, this world is not the same as the earth, and it is somewhat unrealistic to want to be unified."
