Shangguan Fei was really on time, and early the day after tomorrow, he followed Elder Baihe to the Cao family pharmacy to invite Ma Ning'er to the Ma family's old house.

The streets were filled with sergeants.

Surrounded by Elder Baihe and Shangguan Fei, Ma Ning'er took Zhang Chao and others to the vermilion gate of the Ma family's old mansion.

In front of the door, sixteen captains with knives stood straight, exuding a majesty. The surrounding walls have been renovated and the entire outer street has been resurfaced.

Ma Ning'er stepped into the old house, and her heart was extremely emotional, praying that her parents were in the heavens, and the child would come back to reorganize the Ma family.

The whole courtyard is dry and quiet, and the dilapidated houses have long been renewed, which is very different from when Ma Ning'er came before.

No wonder the world likes power, with this thing, the mind can easily become a reality, but with this thing, it will also make people instantly irreversible.

The sect leaders and elders of other major sects, gangs, and elders also came to visit, although they didn't know what Ma Ning'er was, but looking at the appearance of Elder Baihe and Shangguan Fei, they could also guess it.

This prince of Zhan must be a relative of the emperor, and his status is much higher than that of Shangguan Fei, although he only has the realm of refining the body, but it is not important at all, and his identity represents everything.

Ma Ning'er was polite with everyone, smiled and accepted the gifts, and at noon, there was a large feast, and the guests who came were staggered.

Ma Ning'er looked at the excitement in front of her, and couldn't help but feel sad in her heart, was the Ma family like now, very lively?

The banquet dispersed, everyone said goodbye, Shangguan Fei arched his hand and said: "Thank you for the assassins sent by Gongzi Zhan, we went along the vine and wiped out the den of two thieves in one day." ”

"Wherever you are, defend your home and country, and do your part."

"Zhan Gongzi is modest, the family teacher has always praised you to me, young and promising, young people should learn from Zhan Gongzi, with unique skills, low-key and introverted, and please ask Zhan Gongzi to advise more in the future."

"It's easy to say, General Shangguan has worked hard, not only busy with military affairs, but also cleaned up this mansion so quickly, which is really gratifying to Zhan, I won't say much about my thanks, let's be closer in the future."

Shangguan Fei said a few more polite words of farewell due to military affairs, and Elder Baihe came over at this time and asked, "Gongzi Zhan, what are your plans for the next step?" ”

"I want to go to the Forbidden Land of Beishan tomorrow."

Elder White Crane couldn't help but gasp.

"I can't help it, that forbidden place is very weird, a few of us almost folded there last time, I want to think twice about Gongzi."

Ma Ning'er nodded and said, "The more dangerous the place, the greater the opportunity." Try your luck and maybe you'll get something out of it. ”

"It's okay, if it's dangerous, I'll get out as soon as possible. It's just that in the past few days since I left, you have sent some masters of the Condensation Realm to guard here to prevent the assassins from retaliating. ”

"This matter, don't worry, Zhan Gongzi, I will arrange it immediately. If the son has made up his mind, you don't need to send some people with you, so that you can take care of it. ”

Ma Ning'er shook her head and said: "Just send me one or two guides, the big war is coming, it's better to let them stay in Wucheng, I'm just curious to wander around, no need to guard." ”

Elder Baihe said: "Okay, Zhan Gongzi should be careful, the forbidden land is very evil, I am afraid that only people who have entered the saint level can enter and exit there." ”

Ma Ning'er nodded, said a few more words to Elder Baihe, and sent him out, and the rest of the guests also left.

The Ma family's old house has returned to calm, but the courtyard is full of life, and it is no longer desolate and miserable as before.

"Young Master, are you really going to the Northern Forbidden Land?" Zhang Chao asked behind him.

"yes."

"I know that the young master will not change his mind once he makes up his mind, and the four of us will go with the young master."

Ma Ning'er shook her head and said: "The old mansion of the Ma family has just become angry, and I still need a few of you to take care of it. I went to the forbidden land, I have my own opinions, don't worry. ”

Zhang Chao wanted to say something, but Ma Ning'er waved his hand to stop him and said, "Don't worry, I won't rush in, and I will withdraw immediately if there is danger." In addition, the four of you should pay attention to the safety of the mansion, I asked Bai He to arrange for the masters of the Condensation Realm to patrol around to protect the safety, but you still have to rely on yourself in everything, and you must also hurry up your cultivation. ”

"Understood, young master." After Zhang Chao agreed, he went down to make arrangements.

Ma Ning'er told Bi Lian about going out for a few days, but she didn't say that she would go to the forbidden land in the north and let her take care of herself, so Bi Lian naturally wouldn't think much about it, what is the matter with men who should be out and always stay at home.

On the second day, Ma Ning'er followed two guides and rode out of the north gate of Wucheng and headed for the northern jungle.

Along the way, the guide introduced the place names and scenery along the way, walked non-stop for a day, and only came to the foot of the northern mountains when night was about to come.

"Zhan Gongzi, there is a forbidden land, a foggy pine forest." The guide pointed to the dense jungle not far away.

Ma Ning'er flashed her eyes and saw that the mountains stretched to the north, with no end in sight, and the towering mountains were like knives and axes, reaching into the sky.

The gentle part of the mountain range is covered with tall pines and cypresses, and there is nothing special about it. In front of the mountain range, there is a cliff, from which the boiling water rushes down to form a waterfall, which falls into the lake below, forming a wide stream of water to the south.

And they were a mile away from the great river.

Ma Ning'er pointed to the river and said, "There doesn't seem to be anything strange here." If the enemy wants to sneak across the river, they can cross from here, and they don't have to go to great lengths to confront our navy. ”

A guide smiled bitterly: "I don't know, this is the source of the Luo River, it looks ordinary on the outside, but it is the most common place to eat people without seeing bones." Come and see! ”

As he spoke, the guide drew his bow and shot his arrows at the river.

The arrow was so powerful that it had no problem shooting across the other bank, but as soon as it reached the river, it was pulled by an invisible force and plunged headfirst into the river.

"Did you see that? The river is very strange, but if anything comes close, whether it runs on the ground or flies in the sky, as long as it reaches its range, it will be pulled straight to the bottom of the river, and it will never come up again. “

"You see there are no plants on either side of the river, it's bare and full of stones. Nearby beasts and birds all walked around the river, so neither country had to worry about enemies coming here. ”

"The Luohe River has been extending downwards like this, and it didn't return to normal until the downstream, so our water village was built in the lower reaches of the Luo River, and the same is true for Luochuan and Hejian, but our water village was built longer in order to resist the two countries."

Ma Ning'er nodded, curious in her heart, this Luohe River couldn't sense strange energy fluctuations, how could it pull things to the bottom of the river for no reason.

"What about the Foggy Pine Forest?"

"Not to mention the foggy pine forest, which looks lush on the outside, but up close, the pines and cypresses are towering, the fog is shrouded, and the inside is pitch black, even if there is enough sunlight, you can't see anything five steps away. Moreover, the foggy pine forest is also the same as the Luo River, flying in the sky and running on the ground, all pulled into the forest, and nothing alive comes out. ”

Ma Ning'er nodded and said: "Okay, let's camp here tonight, rest for one night, you will wait for me here for three days from tomorrow, I will go to the fog pine forest to check, if you don't come out for three days, you will go back to tell Elder Baihe and take care of the people of Pingchuan Mansion." ”
