"Why is this man carrying a coffin?"

Li Zhen was curious and couldn't help but take a look.

The man was about forty years old, with a burly build, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a face as hard as a knife, and a beard with vicissitudes of life, and he looked haggard.

He was dressed in a short gray and black coat, his style was frugal, and he walked slowly, his steps were heavy, but his indescribable popularity spread to all around, and the intensity was as strong as a substance, so that the temperature of several feet around him seemed to drop a little.

The most striking thing is the black paulownia coffin on his back.

The coffin was tightly bound several times by chains, the middle part was wrapped in a tough strip of cloth, tied to the shoulder, and the lid of the coffin was tightly attached to a palm-sized yellow paper symbol.

When everyone looked at it, they could faintly hear a slight sound coming from inside.

It was like the sound of fingernails scraping against a plank......

Li Zhen sniffed it, and the smell around him was mixed, and all kinds of people were mixed, and it was difficult to distinguish between good and evil.

But after this person appeared, there seemed to be a lingering strange smell around him, not strong or light, not fragrant or smelly, and it was as old as a corpse that had been dried for many years.

Li Zhen didn't hear his pulse and heartbeat, although the monk would also use secret methods to cover up his qi, but seeing that he did not hide his evil appearance, he was afraid that there was another reason.

After a while, the man walked over, and the people on the street couldn't help but talk.

"It seems to be the person carrying the coffin. ”

"Is it really him? ...... escaped from the Blood Yan Palace?"

"I haven't heard of him for years, but I didn't expect him to be dead. ”

"Hasn't he been looking for something in the south all the time, how did he come to this side of the Outer Valley?"

Li Zhen asked Liu Daocheng: "Daoyou, do you know this person?"

Liu Daocheng said: "You said that this Zhao Wuyan, you know a little bit about it." ”

Li Zhen said with interest: "His name is Zhao Wuyan?"

Liu Daocheng said: "That's right, it's not right. ”

Li Zhen said: "What do you mean by this?"

Liu Daocheng said: "Zhao Wuyan's name, I don't know when it was spread in the community, this person has embarked on the road of cultivation more than ten years ago, and can be called the forerunner of our generation of monks, it is said that he was born in a big mountain surnamed Zhao, with a wife and children, although the life is boring, it can also be called peace." ”

Li Zhen said: "Oh, then why did he embark on the path of cultivation and make himself look like a living dead who is neither human nor ghost?"

Liu Daocheng sighed: "It's not that God's trick. ”

Li Zhen said: "I want to hear about it." ”

There was nothing to do, and Liu Daocheng was also happy to chat with Li Zheng: "I happened to hear someone say that in the mountain village where Zhao Wuyan lives, there are high-ranking officials and nobles who have started hunting, bringing more than ten slaves and guards, but there is a lack of a guide to enter the mountain. ”

Li Zhen seemed to understand a little: "He became the guide?"

Liu Daocheng said: "That's right, Zhao Wuyan was just an ordinary hunter at the time, how could he not make money if he had silver, and besides, if he was a flat-headed commoner, could he refuse someone's son?"

Originally, this trip into the mountains successfully hunted wild beasts, so that the son had fun, and earned him a sum of money, but it can also be called a beautiful difference, who would have thought that the bad luck of the times, the group seemed to have experienced some changes, dead and dead, crazy and crazy, even the son and brother were buried in the mountains, and they couldn't come out again. ”

Li Zhen said: "So, he was retaliated against when he came back alive?"

Liu Daocheng said: "That's right, the anger of the dignitaries and nobles, not only him, but even the family servants who fled back, as well as their wives and children, were all implicated!"

Li Zhen sneered: "It's so angry, just because of the death of his son-in-law, he is so angry with others?"

Liu Daocheng said: "Who said it wasn't, but that son-in-law at that time was the only son of the city lord, and he passed down the story for several generations, can he not feel distressed?"

Those mortals, revenge, that is called a ruthless, it is said that there are hundreds of people, all of them have been fed alive wolf dogs and beasts.

It was also Zhao Wuyan's life that should not be extinguished, and he escaped the execution a few days ago because he had to be executed a few days ago, and he escaped after refining his evil spirits!

It turned out that they accidentally broke into an ancient tomb at that time and were contaminated with corpse poison, and Zhao Wuyan was also tricked, but he was lucky, and he was blessed by misfortune, activated his cultivation talent, and became a monk. ”

Li Zhen said: "If you are a monk, even if you are a new promotion at that time, it is enough to easily escape. ”

Liu Daocheng's face was slightly strange, and he glanced at Li Zhen, but said: "That Daoyou can guess wrong, the city lord of Fuyou City is a stranger who is divided from one side, and his strength is extraordinary, and because the ancestors and monks have an old relationship, there are many offerings to each other, and there are monks in the city at that time, how can the new scattered cultivators be able to beat it." ”

"Hmm, Fuyou City, why do you seem to have heard of it somewhere?" Li Zhen felt a slight difference in his heart, and suddenly remembered something, "Fellow Daoist, the Fuyou City you are talking about is the Fuyou City that broke out with a plague, more than 100,000 people in the city, and also caused disaster to many surrounding towns and villages?"

Fuyoucheng is a small city outside the southwest of Xuanxin Kingdom, and unlike Xuanxin Kingdom, which is under the care of Jiedan monks, it is a city that is a country, sometimes as a small state of Fanbang to submit to a big country, and sometimes it is a division of the strong, on its own.

The need for such a buffer zone between the kingdom and the sect, coupled with the fact that most of its rulers are the descendants of monks, or other strange and powerful people, can barely support it.

But the city of Fuyou......

Utterly destroyed.

In the midst of a sudden plague, the entire city, including the hundred miles under its rule, was completely wiped out, and the remaining towns and villages were isolated and isolated by the surrounding powers, completely becoming a chaotic zone of three regards.

To this day, there is still a record of this matter in the files of the Persona Division, and on the surface it is a city-level plague, which has little to do with it, and only needs to be understood.

Li Zhen happened to have read this dossier, but he didn't expect that there would be such an inside story.

Liu Daocheng thought that Li Zhen was also hearsay, so he nodded and said, "Yes, it is the Fuyou City where the plague broke out!"

At that time, Zhao Wuyan hadn't even had time to escape, and he was approached by the Blood Yan Palace. ”

Li Zhen said: "Blood Yan Palace, I seem to have heard someone say just now, what is this?"

Liu Daocheng smiled: "A foreign scattered cultivation force is said to have a close relationship with the Demon Dao, and Zhao Wuyan's later cultivation methods were obtained from them.

Zhao Wuyan was still in prison, and was about to find a way to escape, when he found that the guards were blackened and moldy one after another, and then died, and he didn't know that the scourge that plagued him had spread.

Later, all parties learned that the lord of Fuyou City was completely self-defeating, and in order to find the body of his beloved son, he sent people into the ancient tomb, as if he had unlocked some sigils, and the plague that spread everywhere was a treasure brought out of it as a source to spread.

When the people of the Blood Yan Palace heard the news, they really picked up a big bargain, and the surviving Zhao Wuyan was also included in his command because of this incident, and it is said that he was also quite valued, and the palace master personally named him Zhao Wuyan. ”

"I even want someone else to give me a name, it can't be ......" Li Zhen's expression was awe-inspiring.

Liu Daocheng said: "You also saw his appearance just now, you should be able to guess how much, he ...... Corpsed!

In fact, it was far more than him, most of the people in Fuyou City at that time were deceived after they died!

They have all become a kind of painless, hungry, and tired corpses, most of them no longer have their minds, like ordinary zombies, but there are also a small number of people who still retain a bit of intelligence, and the Blood Yan Palace is a treasure according to this, and they have made a lot of money, and they are trying to explore the mysteries.

In order to conduct the experiment, they artificially spread the plague and brutalized the mortals, this Zhao Wuyan is a good man, he was stimulated to recover a little bit of his sanity, and found a chance to escape, but the Blood Yan Palace didn't care much about this matter, but instead lured him with the condition of resurrecting his wife, and he still broke off the connection with the Blood Yan Palace. ”

Li Zhen said: "Liu Daoyou, do you know a lot?"

Liu Daocheng smiled and said frankly: "There is a treasure matter, how can we not find out clearly."

Some masters once secretly spied on it, and the disaster suffered by Fuyou City seems to be an alien called Jitu Tai Sui that appeared thousands of years ago, and it may contain the mystery of mortal immortality.

The Blood Yan Palace is very calculating, giving him magic skills, giving him poison, and taking care of his wife to the death, sooner or later, one day ......"

Liu Daocheng said unfinished words, and of course Li Zhen understood what it was, so he couldn't help but sigh lightly.

"Daoist friend is well-informed, in your opinion, why did he come here?"

Liu Daocheng said: "Maybe there are some opportunities or treasures that he or the Blood Yan Palace want to find on our side, but this matter has nothing to do with us, it is the people of the Valley Lord and the Hearsay Division who should be nervous." ”

Li Zhen thought about it and found that this was really the case.

If the scattered cultivator is well-known, it is equivalent to being exposed to the sun, perhaps, there are already many worship masters on standby in the royal city, ready to fight with him at any time, and those hundred and thousands of households of the Hearsay Division have already set their eyes on this person, monitoring them along the way.

However, this Zhao Wuyan seems to have a bit of strength, and he is disconnected from the Blood Yan Palace, who knows what those real casual cultivation masters are plotting.

Mortal immortality, what a tempting word, in the world of cultivating immortals, not everyone is qualified to cultivate, even the current Li Zhen himself is trapped in the flesh and bones and has no way, if there is a chance, he doesn't mind exploring one or two.

Acting rashly, the stakes are not small, and there may be some unnecessary changes, and the Strange News Division of Xuanxin Country must also hesitate again and again, and confirm the other party's intentions.

Li Zhen laughed secretly and simply didn't ask any more.

He said goodbye to Liu Daocheng and walked around for a while, until he confirmed that there was no good incense at the level of spiritual materials.

Because of the period during the market meeting, Li Zhen did not leave the valley immediately, but went back to the inn, intending to see if anyone had come to find him.

He has no relatives or friends here, if anyone is looking for it, it must be that some of the spiritual materials and treasures he wants have been found, but he should pay more attention to it.

But just as he was about to return to the inn, he suddenly saw a group of people blocking the front to watch.

"It's fighting, it's fighting......"

"I'll just say that this time I have to do something, this Zhao Wuyan really doesn't know the height of the sky, relying on his own skills, he actually wants to take the coffin to stay, what kind of ghost does he look like, don't you know a little self-knowledge?"

"Ban Daoyou is a real person, there are so many people, just count him as righteous and ......"

No, I said, why are you onlookers a little excited?

Li Zhen stepped forward curiously, but saw a middle-aged man with both palms out, faintly red flame like a cloud, against a dark cloud.

Zhao Wuyan, the person carrying the coffin, bowed slightly, like a tiger, and what was pushed out of his palm was a poisonous cloud like a black cloud.

The divine power of both sides and the evil of the sacrifice were condensed in it, and they rushed against each other, forming a short-term confrontation.

Just when everyone thought that such a confrontation would continue, Zhao Wuyan snorted, and blood appeared on Zhou's body, and a gloomy, terrifying, and at the same time incredibly powerful force suddenly emerged.

The balance was broken in an instant, and the middle-aged man's body flew out like a kite with a broken string as if he had been hit hard.

"Ahh

He lay on his back, his intestines churning, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but be shocked, and they all took a few steps back to get out of the way.

Zhao Wuyan didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue, didn't even glance at the middle-aged man, turned his head silently, and walked towards the door of the inn.

The middle-aged man struggled to stand up, his face was red and white, he didn't say anything, and left in a hurry.

Li Zhen looked at him, and then at Zhao Wuyan, ignoring whether there were any grievances or temptations of the people in the valley, just looked at Zhao Wuyan's back a few times, thoughtfully.

"This is a person at the peak of Qi refining, and he has surpassed the upper limit. ”

Mortals regard monks as immortals, and they don't know their depths, so naturally they won't explore too many details, they are all immortal masters anyway.

But Li Zhen himself has stepped into the world of cultivating immortals, and it is impossible not to understand it, and there are also three, six, nine and so on.

At this time, he already knew that there was an upper limit to the power of divine thoughts and the changes in the Qi Refining Realm, and it was closely related to the power of the material world, that is, it looked like a few hundred catties.

A mortal body can carry hundreds of catties, and most of the qi refining cultivators can also carry hundreds of catties, but there are differences depending on the nutritional status and training level.

This is not a coincidence, but the unity of matter and spirit.

After building the foundation, cultivating mana, having the change of moving mountains and shaking mountains, moving stars and turning upside down, that is the real sense of transcendence.

If you don't know anything about this, you will not be able to extricate yourself from the initial inefficient growth, and the gains will outweigh the losses.

This point is similar to the things of ordinary businessmen in the world, different realms, different ways to make money.

It is a dream that the stall vendors get up early and are greedy for night, the commercial speculation is profitable, and even the rules for the habitation of strange goods at the political level are completely different, and they want to rely on the way of making a fortune by the small people in the market, just relying on the delicious baked cakes and the diligent stalls to become rich and rival the country.

However, when they reach the late stage of qi refining, they stay here, and it is rare for people to build a foundation, and they often seek ways to break the limit within this realm.

In terms of the use of various supernatural powers, secret methods, and innate abilities, although they may not be useful for the new realm after breaking through, they can be called powerful at present.
