Chapter 1 Departure

The dense branches and leaves of the ancient trees stretched out, like a green giant looking down on the ground.

In the middle of the ancient trees, an official road more than two zhang wide winds endlessly, reflecting the sunlight like a jade belt, leading to the distance along the undulating terrain.

The sky, the scorching sun hangs high.

On the official road, a merchant's carriage was covered with a cyan cloth curtain, covering it tightly, and it was driving slowly on the official road.

Although the sun was poisonous outside, the inside of the carriage was quiet.

It has been more than twenty days since departure, and Yang Ji has already left the boundary of Langya County.

The world outside Langya County is strange to Yang Ji, but fortunately, these merchants who come and go from the south to the north know.

Ten merchants* departing from Langya County are going to or passing through Zhoufu.

After paying twenty taels of silver for the journey, Yang Jishun lĂŹ took the current carriage.

There was silence in the carriage, and the sound of chariots and horses continued to come to my ears through the curtains.

Yang Ji heard it as if he hadn't heard it, holding an ancient book from the former dynasty with a blue and black cover in both hands, and looked at it attentively.

The ancient books in the Nongsang Ancient Cave have undergone special treatment, and in this regard, there seems to be some special secret techniques in the previous dynasty.

Therefore, even after thousands of years, it is still intact, and it is completely normal to read the books as they are today.

Yang Ji collected nearly 10,000 ancient books from the former dynasties, which was a huge wealth.

Starting from the Iron Crown Sect, in addition to normal cultivation, Yang Ji was basically looking at these ancient texts of the previous dynasties.

These books are all-encompassing, including many chronicles, wild histories, travelogues, plants, topography, anecdotes, rumors, and martial arts.

Reading these books will give you a lot of stories about that dynasty that has passed away more than a thousand years ago.

"It's incredible. It turns out that so many things happened here during the previous dynasty. ”

I don't know how long it took, Yang Ji slowly closed the book and raised his head.

Muttering.

What he was reading was a copy of the "Chronicles of the Continent" from the previous dynasty.

The geographical division of the previous dynasty was not the same as it is now, but because it was something that happened in Langya County, it was also recorded and placed in the Nongsang Ancient Library.

According to the "Chronicles of the Continent", the sixteenth year of Kaiping (Yang Ji does not know which year.

The affairs of the previous dynasty cannot be verified), and now a major event has occurred in the realm where Taiyuan Continent is located, an ancient fierce beast that has been sleeping for countless days and moons suddenly woke up from the ground, and in an instant, thick smoke billowed and the sky was dark.

The entire eastern region was plunged into darkness, as if it were the end of the world.

Countless merchants and civilians suddenly disappeared, and a prosperous city disappeared completely, as if it had been swallowed by something.

The sixteenth year of Kaiping was the time when the previous dynasty was strong, and many warriors followed one after another.

Tried to kill this ancient beast, but without exception, they all died and were killed by the beast.

The matter was too big and alarmed the three dukes of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In the end, one of the three princes, Taibao, came here, and after a fierce battle, he completely killed this powerful beast of the former dynasty.

The text on the "Chronicles of the Continent" depicts this battle as earth-shattering, ghostly, and breathtaking.

When Yang Ji looked through it.

It's also exciting to watch.

This kind of thing is very attractive for every martial artist who works tirelessly to achieve the supreme realm of martial arts.

"Three Princesses...... Taibao ....... In terms of losses, the calamity recorded in this continent is probably no less than the underworld calamity this time. ”

Yang Ji said secretly in his heart.

Although the disaster in Langya County developed this time and was a big threat, because of the timely response, the space channel was closed in time.

So the real loss is not as big as imagined.

Hundreds of thousands of demons, yakshasas, and rakshasas combined, their attack power is far inferior to that of a real ancient beast.

This is also the reason why a city was lost as recorded in the Chronicles of the Continent.

A strong man in the martial arts realm can easily kill an evil ghost and a yaksha, but deal with a powerful ancient beast.

It's like an egg hitting a stone, and there's nothing you can do.

Da!

Da!

Yang Ji's mind was full of ups and downs.

Two fingers unconsciously tapped lightly on the small sandalwood table beside him, making a crisp sound.

Yang Ji's concern is not about this disaster.

It's the ancient beast that destroyed the world mentioned in the disaster.

Yang Ji grew up in the eastern border, but Yang Ji never knew that in the depths of this land, there was once an ancient fierce beast buried.

The ancient era is far before the Wendao and Buddhism, and it is extremely ancient and long.

According to the information known now, fierce beasts were rampant in that era, and the fierce beasts on the earth were far from unimaginable in the current era.

They were surrounded by huge, mountain-like bodies, and these bodies were filled with endless terrifying power that even the powerhouses of the Martial Saint level were terrified.

This is also the reason why the previous dynasty needed to dispatch the Taibao of the Three Princes to kill it.

It's just that the ancient times have long been destroyed, and those mountain-like ancient beasts have long been extinct and have become mythical beings.

Yang Ji never knew that there were still living beasts that could survive the collapse of the era and reappear in ancient times.

"The ancient beasts are different, those ancient beasts that are extremely powerful and comparable to gods have been ruined. There is no reason why this one can survive the power of the collapse of the era. There must be some special truth in this. ”

Yang Ji said secretly in his heart.

There was some speculation in his heart, but the ancient era was too far away after all, and the last ancient beast was also killed by the three princes of the previous dynasty.

Therefore, there is no way to verify the thoughts in Yang Ji's heart.

However, this "Chronicles of the Continent" still gave Yang Ji a lot of inspiration.

In the realm that he is familiar with, there was a riot of ancient fierce beasts in Taiyuan Continent in the previous dynasty, and I am afraid that not many people know about this matter.

When Yang Ji first read this record, he was also quite shocked.

In the past era, countless eras and civilizations have disappeared, but no matter how they are broken, there are always some things that can still be passed on.

Ancient beasts, paintings, magic weapons, weapons...... It's all true.

If you can discern the pearls and detect them in advance, it will be very beneficial.

The only thing is whether you can find it.

Swish!

Thinking of this, Yang Ji stretched out his hand to lift the curtain and stretched out his head.

The wind whistled outside the carriage, and the sound of the rolling carriage resounded in his ears, Yang Ji took a deep breath and felt that his head was much clearer.

The trees outside the official road are verdant, and they are completely some tree species that Yang Ji has not seen in Langya County before.

The official road extends here, and both sides are completely different from the primitive and reckless scene of Langya County.

Although the official road extends here, there are traces of uncultivated land on both sides.

There is no trace of artificiality here at all.

If you look closely, the ground is full of thorns.

"There are still more than ten days or so, and we should be able to reach Taiyuan Continent Mansion. ”

Yang Ji said secretly, and there was suddenly infinite expectation in his heart.

"Born in the Fight, Grown in the Fight"

It is a true portrayal of Yang Ji, and so far, the farthest place Yang Ji has been to is Langya City.

Taiyuan Prefecture is the center of the east, the most prosperous area, and the most desirable place for countless teenagers with dreams.

Yang Ji had heard those merchants describe it countless times, but he had never seen it once.

"It is said that the state is a hundred times more prosperous than the county, and I don't know what it looks like. ”

Yang Ji was fascinated, not mentioning the martial arts examination, just to realize the dreams of his childhood and youth, Zhoufu is also a place where he must go.

Yang Ji turned his head and moved forward, the carriage had reached the top of the mountain, and when he looked at it, the scene of the mountains and mountains was gone.

From here, the mountain becomes low and gentle.

Although it is still deserted, in the field of vision, in addition to the official road where Yang Ji is located, there is finally an official road with its own way.

All the official roads converged and rushed to the same place.

The carriage rolled and kept moving forward.

Yang Ji leaned out of the window and looked at the scenery on both sides thoughtfully.

I don't know how long it took - "Drive!"

Suddenly, a loud shout came from behind.

Amidst the shouting, a sturdy horse pulled several carriages with black steel skeletons, galloping from behind in the billowing dust...... "What a heavy carriage!"

Yang Ji just glanced at it, and his eyelids immediately jumped slightly.

The wheels of these carriages were very heavy, and where the carriages galloped, they left a rut of five or six inches on the ground, and the line was almost ten times that of Yang Ji.

The carriage was covered with a black cloth curtain, which was different from the carriage that Yang Ji was in, which was obviously a carriage for transporting goods.

"Drive!"

The leading coachman had a thin face, an old man of fifty or sixty years of age, and the skin on his face was furrowed and wrinkled.

It was his black hair, his eyes were bright, and his temples on both sides were high and bulging, and he was obviously a martial artist who practiced his family.

"Rolling!"

The heavy wheels kept turning, and in the direction of their progress, some fingernail-sized stones were all crushed.

The carriage galloped past the side, and Yang Ji suddenly felt cold, feeling as if he had walked from the scorching sun to the autumn mood.

"It's weird. ”

Yang Ji glanced at it, and when the carriage passed by, Yang Ji clearly found that a few feet above the carriages of goods, a layer of water mist with the smell of the ocean was clearly steaming.

At first glance, even the air is blurry.

The carriages were very fast, each of which was pulled by four or five horses, and only a moment before they were lost in front.

"Hehe, these are Dongzhu. ”

A voice suddenly came, and the merchant sitting in front of him suddenly spoke, his voice was smug and looked old-fashioned.

"Huh?"

Yang Ji was stunned and didn't react at first.

"I said that in those carriages, a lot of Dongzhu was transported. ”

The merchant sitting in front explained with a smile.

Merchants traveled from north to south, and generally had special coachmen.

But there are also many merchants, in order to save costs, they also take on the role of coachmen.

This is the case with the carriage that Yang Ji is sitting in now.

"What are you talking about Dongzhu?"

Yang Ji put down the book and said with some curiosity.
