Desolate, eerie, cold...

Even though the heat has passed, and it rains heavily in other places, it is still cold near Onishijin.

The cold power of the River Styx overflowed, causing the frost to spread around it, forming layers of brittle ice crusts that clicked when stepped on.

It was originally flat, but now it has been trampled to sparse pieces.

Many people gathered outside the ghost city, and as far as the eye could see, there were at least five or six thousand, most of them were wild cultivators, probing their brains, looking at the rolling Styx River in the distance.

A small boat floated slowly.

It was a very simple awning boat, with a bronze hull and rust, and I don't know what it was made of, with a lantern hanging from the bow and a ghostly fire flickering.

On the boat, a figure loomed, clearly a ghost.

Seeing so many people looking forward to it, the ghost boatman obviously couldn't react, but he still said in a cold voice: "The ship fare is a ghost crystal, five taels of stone per person, and those below the third grade of the road are forbidden to enter." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a commotion.

After the death of the ghost, it will leave behind spiritual materials, which are divided into Yu, Shi, Pan, and Dan.

The lowest "surplus" can only be used as a spell consumption, and it is not sold at all in the Lushan Market, and is only traded in the Lushan City Night Market.

Nowadays, most of the monks trade "stones".

Although five taels of "stones" are a bit expensive, many people can afford them by gritting their teeth, but the prohibition of entering the Sanpin Dao line makes many people dissatisfied.

"Why?"

"That's it, didn't you say that you want to open up to the outside world, aren't you afraid that there will be too many people and dissipate the yin qi?"

Taking advantage of the overwhelming number of people, some people said strange things.

The ghost boatman was not angry, but said indifferently: "The Tao is less than three grades, and I can't stand the yin qi of the ghost city Jinnai, and if I don't get a stick of incense, I will freeze to death." ”

After that, he didn't bother to explain, "There can be ten people on board, don't waste time." ”

He was originally a monk who died in the battle of the ghost in Luzhou, and the soul was collected by the spirit banner and became under the command of Cao Wei, practicing the way of ghosts and immortals, although he had no physical body, but his spirit could still remain sober.

This is the Styx lineage.

The only drawback is that he is like Cao Wei, bound to Ghost City, and he can't leave the River Styx in this life.

At least one-fifth of today's monks have reached the third grade, and they no longer hesitate when they hear this, so those who are clever will go directly to the ship, and those who are cautious will wait and see.

After all, this place is very strange, yin and yang are difficult to distinguish, and the spiritual world coincides with the present world.

They are not afraid of the ghosts in the city, they have seen too much since they practiced, and they are afraid that something will suddenly go wrong, and the ghosts will take their living souls into the spirit world, while the physical body will be stranded in the present world and wait for death.

Looking at the ghost boat slowly drifting away, everyone stood on tiptoe to watch, but only those who had learned the Qi Gaze Technique could see the distance on the lake, filled with black fog, and there was a faint shadow of a small city.

The people sitting on the boat were also full of vigilance.

They felt as if they had entered the spirit realm, the surroundings were pitch black, the crowd on the shore in the distance had disappeared, and in the river, there were even floating corpses with black eyes staring at them coldly.

Before the opening of the ghost market, the rules had flowed out, and within the Styx area, all the ghosts were under the jurisdiction of the Earth Yin General Cao Wei, and as long as they didn't make random moves, they would not be attacked.

In addition, ghost cultivators and demon cultivators entered the River Styx, and Terran monks were not allowed to attack at will.

Having said that, everyone on the boat was nervous and worried.

At the same time, they also knew why they were not allowed to enter under the three grades, and before they arrived at the ghost city, they were already cold and shivering.

Fortunately, there were no surprises along the way.

The River Styx here has been attracted to the earth yin again and again by Cao Wei, and it has expanded to a width of a hundred miles, and in less than the time of three pillars of incense, I saw the ghost city in front of me.

Today's ghost market is very different from the beginning, not only is there a famous ghost soldier standing on the city wall, wearing armor, red eyes looming under the helmet, and there are also ghosts that look like scholars at the door to register for entering the city.

A huge shadow of a long banner stood above the city, seemingly composed of black mist, looming as the spirit flag.

Seeing everyone coming ashore, the ghost Xiucai said indifferently: "If you enter the city, you need to draw a charge, and those who disturb the order in the city will be killed!" ”

"If you want to rent a shop, you can go to the Ghost City Bureau..."

"If you want to go to the Ancient Spirit Domain, you need to sign a life and death certificate, and the ship price is one hundred taels of ghost crystals..."

Listening to his explanation of the rules, everyone on the ship was not surprised.

As low-level monks, and they have tasted the benefits of the Lushan Bazaar, they are not afraid of the rules, they are afraid of no rules.

Especially this shop, which has not yet been fully covered by the sect, they took the risk of being the first to get on the ship, for this is exactly this.

Immediately, a few people hurriedly entered the city, and hurried to the so-called ghost city office, regardless of the surrounding tours.

Fortunately, the price of the lease is still affordable, but the taxes are high and you need to draw one out of ten.

The news soon spread back to the shore, and the crowd was even more commotionous, no one hesitated anymore, and even almost fought for the quota to cross the river, and with the arrival of groups of monks, the ghost market was also lively.

In the Yin Temple in the city, looking at the prospect in front of him, Zhang Biao took a sip of soul-forgetting wine and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Daoyou, Ghost City Jin will definitely occupy an important place in the Ancient Yuan Realm in the future." ”

Today, he has seen the essence of Cao Wei.

Both cowardly and cautious, neither party wants to offend, just want to manage their own one-third of an acre.

"I also want Tai Sui Daoyou to take care of it..."

Facing Zhang Biao, Cao Wei was quite cautious, not only because of the other party's behavior, but also because of what happened before.

The vision of the ice field in Northern Xinjiang, because there is a similar existence of the River Styx, so many sects came to inquire.

Of course, Cao Wei denied it, but he knew that it was Zhang Biao, because the other party came here to collect a large amount of Styx water.

The other party was able to cover up the chaos array and make the origin of the world retract, Cao Wei already had a terrible guess, but he didn't dare to ask more.

Zhang Biao naturally didn't know what the other party was thinking, and asked: "Daoist friends let the Styx River penetrate the Ancient Spirit Domain, which is a merit to the Ancient Yuan Realm, but I don't know how far the Styx has gone now?" ”

Cao Wei told the truth: "With the power of the Styx, there are thirty miles ahead, but some places in Beiyin Mountain are too dangerous, and the Styx River cannot be approached, so it has to flow along the trend and make a winding detour, which is actually less than ten miles." ”

"It's not clear how big the mountain is, but it will take years to penetrate most of the time..."

Zhang Biao nodded slightly, pondered for a while, and said: "Beiyin Mountain and the Ancient Yuan Realm will coincide in fifty years, and the next time will be Senluo Prison, located in the southwest of Huaizhou." ”

When Cao Wei heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, "Thank you for mentioning it." ”

He was able to negotiate with the sect because of this ancient spirit domain, but he only knew the location of this backing mountain and knew when the next ancient spirit domain would appear, so he could make arrangements in advance.

This news is like an opportunity for him. Thinking of this, he had secretly made up his mind that he would definitely talk to the person in front of him in the future.

Zhang Biao smiled faintly and didn't care.

The Gu Yuan Realm is declining, and the Gu Spirit Domain is the only opportunity for the monks in this realm, and it is impossible for "Xuanhuang" to always rely on the strength of the monks in this realm to grow, which is also beneficial to him.

Thinking of this, Zhang Biao didn't sit anymore, and under the guidance of Cao Wei, he came to the ferry behind the ghost city.

There is a huge ship parked here, about ten zhang high, also with a bronze shell, but the upper pavilion is newly built, and a bronze coffin is parked inside.

Cao Wei explained: "This ship was obtained together with the Styx Inheritance, and if you want to pass through the Ancient Spirit Realm, you can only enter through the Styx Spirit Realm. ”

"When the monk's body is hidden in it, he can borrow a treasure ship to travel through the spiritual realm and enter the ancient spiritual realm to reappear."

"The method of shipbuilding, according to the original agreement, I have handed it over to the major sects, and they have another private ship, which is used to transport wild repairs."

said, a little embarrassed: "I am stupid in my head, I have consumed all my savings to build this ship, and when the ghost city is running smoothly, I will build another one for Qingfeng Village." If you want to enter the Ancient Spirit Realm, you will arrange it below..."

"No need."

Zhang Biao shook his head and said, "Later, someone will ask you what you see, just cover it up for me." ”

With that, look into the distance.

Cao Wei also felt something, and suddenly turned his head to look southwest, and then saw the wind howling, the water of the Styx River surging, and a huge black mist actually flew from the surface of the river.

Zhang Biao said in a deep voice: "In the future, I will enter the Ancient Spirit Domain from other parts of the Styx, and you can make the Styx Navy ignore it." ”

Cao Wei is the god of the River Styx, and the city of Youyun entered the ancient spirit domain from the River Styx, and he couldn't hide it, so Zhang Biao simply came to say hello in advance.

"Yes, yes!"

Cao Wei didn't dare to ask more, and nodded hurriedly.

Zhang Biao smiled slightly, pinched a magic trick in his hand, and saw the wind howling around him, and the figure disappeared in an instant.

This is the technique of the one vein of the stomach: wind escape.

The shadow escape technique is good at stealth, but in terms of speed, it is still better than the wind escape, Zhang Biao has been practicing during this time, and he has been handy.

Watching the large black mist drift away, Cao Wei breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head slightly, and returned to the Yin Temple.

As soon as he entered the temple, a ghost fairy came forward to report that hundreds of people had signed a life and death certificate to go to the ancient spirit domain, and the sect also sent news that the boat crossing the river would be transported soon, asking him to issue the Styx passage token.

After hearing this, Cao Wei snorted coldly: "In such a hurry, do you really think that the Ancient Spirit Domain is so easy to break through!" ”

"That's it, I've warned you in advance, whether it's life or death, it depends on the ...... of personal creation."

…………

The Styx River in the ghost city will disappear from the present world after a hundred miles, flowing from the spirit world and leading directly to the ancient spirit realm.

Although the Divine Domain of the Hidden City can also cross all walks of life, in order to prevent accidents, Zhang Biao still hid his body in the coffin of the Styx River and placed it in the core of the Hidden City.

In a few breaths, it has reached the outside of the shade mountain.

Zhang Biao had already come to explore this backing mountain, because the ancient spirit realm was equivalent to another world, so neither the present world nor the spirit realm could be seen from the outside.

And now, as the River Styx rolled, hazy mountains appeared in the distance, looming, like reality, black.

Only the River Styx is connected to it.

"Alright, get ready to enter!"

The people on the thousand planes also spoke in a serious tone, and a reminder was given, and then the entire Youyun City suddenly sank.

Under the power of the "moment" of the city, the rolling river Styx was like a curtain of water, surging and rushing, crossing above the two of them, forming a dome-like dome.

This is the method of entering the Ancient Spirit Domain, and it is necessary to dive into the River Styx in order not to be affected by the outer power of the Ancient Spirit Domain.

Even so, Zhang Biao could still feel that they were like passing through a thick layer of viscous paste.

This layer of things is a bit like the World Origin Chaos Array, which is naturally formed, seemingly thin, but there is a vast mezzanine space.

The difference is that within the Chaos Array, you will lose your direction, your aura will continue to dissipate, and you will die of despair.

And in the mezzanine space of this back-shaded mountain, the soul and body will be blown away by the howling dark wind.

Passing through the mezzanine space, the city of Youyun floated upward, and a huge world appeared in front of you.

It was a series of towering peaks, so dark that you couldn't see them clearly, or even the tops of them, and the River Styx meandered between the peaks, surrounded by cliffs.

It was cold, desperate, and the wind was howling, and even the air seemed to be filled with cold murderous intentions.

Zhang Biao had already put on the top of the face, his forehead and eyes flashed red, and his vision expanded rapidly.

But even if there is a face, you can only see the scene within a radius of ten miles, and the farther it is, it will be dim and difficult to distinguish.

The space of the ancient spirit realm is also a little weird, and it is difficult to distinguish between the spirit world and the yin and yang of the present world, Zhang Biao can even sense it, and in some places, the power of the dream world is fleeting.

The Thousand Machines Master also turned into a metal spider, stood on the city wall with him, his eyes flashed with red light, and said: "In the chessboard realm, there are also ancient spirit realms appearing, but the Styx inheritance on our side has long disappeared, and it is entered from the Yin Temple of the spirit realm, and the puppet technique of the god of the underworld was also found there. ”

"This ancient spirit realm is usually formed by the aggregation of broken worlds, and it is not good to be able to exist after the destruction of the world, the old man has explored it several times, and he almost died, but he has also gained something."

Zhang Biao said thoughtfully: "Every once in a while, this ancient spirit realm will coincide with different worlds, let's go to the chessboard realm in the future, can we enter from here?" ”

"It's that simple."

The man on the Thousand Machines shook his head and said, "When the Ancient Spirit Domain coincides with other worlds, it may be possible to guess the time based on the intelligence of the two realms, but the entrance is different every time, and it is difficult to find. ”

"Moreover, the Ancient Spirit Realm often attracts other world fragments to fall, the terrain changes, and no matter how powerful the divination method is, it cannot be found, and it is also necessary to enter the spirit world."

"Among the boundary breakers, the most feared thing is the spiritual curse, ordinary monks do not have the treasure of the Hidden City, and it is the safest way to break the boundary through the Lechuan River."

"In the future, we will break the boundary from the dream realm, if the city can't bear the power of breaking the boundary, we can only use the dream reincarnation or the method of taking away."

Zhang Biao nodded slightly, his face solemn.

They came to the Yin Mountain, one was to search for the spiritual materials for refining the noodles, and the other was to experiment and practice breaking the boundary.

After all, as a ferryman, this kind of thing will be indispensable in the future.

At this moment, his heart moved, and he took out the ferryman's token from the cave demon weapon, only to see the spiritual light flying on it, and lines of handwriting appeared.

But after Hu Meiniang returned to Lushan City, she asked Tie Yucheng to use the son and mother Gu, and found that Zhang Biao could not be contacted, so she used the Xuanhuang Order.

"What's going on?"

"It's okay, Hu Meiniang wants to go back to the Mountain and Sea Realm, let me notify her after I leave the Ancient Spirit Realm, and I have something important to know."

"Let's go first, if you find the Soul Bronze and refine the Twelve Hour Dream God, you can be safer when you give it away..."

With that, the city moved slowly along the River Styx.

Call!

In the distance, above the Black Mountain, a series of dark fires lit up.

Since the decline of the ancient Metaverse, it has been the first time that people have entered this area of Beiyin Mountain for thousands of years.

Feeling the breath of life, some beings began to revive......
