Chapter Thirty-Eight: Into the Great Wilderness

Wu Qing is familiar with his new identity while hurrying: Yan Shihua, twenty-two years old, has been lurking in Jiaozhou City with his third uncle Yan Zhongqing since he was a child, and is obviously in the pharmacy business, but he is actually responsible for liaising with the Great Wilderness and conveying messages to other Great Wei Yan clansmen lurking in Jiaozhou City. The natal wooden plaque was an ordinary black wooden plaque, which was worn by Wuqing around his neck, and it was only engraved with the word Shihua, and nothing else.

As Wuqing went all the way south, the places he passed through became more and more desolate and uninhabited. Finally, on the third day, Gokiyo came to the foot of the boundary mountain.

The boundary mountain is the boundary between the Great Wilderness and the Great Jin Dynasty, and when you turn over it, you will enter the great wilderness that has changed the color of the world for 10,000 years.

Wuqing took a few deep breaths, then took the oblique moon step, and ran towards the mountain with a light and fast body. The peaks of the boundary mountain are not towering, only a moment of kung fu Wuqing climbed to the top of the boundary mountain, he looked around, the mysterious wilderness was revealed in front of him for the first time, from the foot of the mountain to the sky, the boundless forest sea covered the entire field of vision of Wuqing, among which towering giant trees can be seen everywhere, several huge birds of prey hovering in the sky, the roar of unknown beasts in the forest from far and near one after another, making people feel numb after listening to it.

"This is the Great Wilderness! Sure enough, it is worthy of its name!" The scene in front of him made Wuqing's expression agitated, and a wave of pride welled up in his heart, and he muttered in his mouth.

After a long time, Wuqing gradually calmed down, took out the natal wooden card and put it on his chest, took out some medicinal powder from the cloth bag around his waist and sprinkled it on his body, and began to run down the mountain after all the preparations were made.

After Wuqing descended the boundary mountain, he went into the dense jungle, the leaves here blocked the sky without any gaps, the woods were dark, and because of the perennial impermeable wind, a miasma always lingered, poisonous insects, snakes and scorpions raged in it, so that the newcomer Wuqing suffered a lot.

But fortunately, the powder does work, although the mosquito moth always flies around him, but can not get close, but the buzzing sound in the flight makes him annoying, just after a while, the stuffy environment has made Wuqing's sweat soak the clothes on his body, Wuqing for the sake of prudence, deliberately put on an inner armor inside, at this time he only felt that the inner armor covered his flesh like a steamer, making him uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Wuqing brought enough water, and from time to time took out some and poured it on his body, so that his hot mind was swollen and sobered up. It's just that in this way, the medicinal powder on his body gradually weakened, and the poisonous insects began to harass him in groups, so Wuqing had to take out some more medicinal powder and sprinkle it on his body, and finally expelled the insect swarm, but he didn't dare to drench himself again.

At night, after a day of walking in the dense forest, Wuqing was exhausted and cut a hole in a huge tree, and after setting up a formation around it, he fell asleep deeply.

Early the next morning, there was a "rustle" The sound woke Wuqing up from his sleep, Wuqing got up and looked under the tree, and suddenly his scalp exploded, only to see thousands of colorful poisonous insects tearing each other on the ground layer upon layer, and the pulp juice of various colors was spewed out from the bodies of the poisonous insects, and the air was filled with a sweet smell, Wuqing smelled a few times and his head was a little heavy, and he hurriedly took out the antidote pill given by Xuanshi from the mountain and river bag and took it, seeing such a strange scene, Wuqing immediately observed the surroundings vigilantly, the strange thing is that he couldn't see any signs of human control, not artificial, but how could there be so many poisonous insects gathered here to kill and devour each otherWuqing observed again, and soon, he found that on a tree not far from him, a golden cicada was rushing down and lying on the tree, as if quietly watching the poisonous insects below, Wuqing's eyes stayed on the golden cicada's body for a while, and the golden cicada seemed to be aware, and his eyes shot straight over, Wuqing was a little surprised, the formation he set up not only has the ability to warn and trap the enemy, but also has the effect of blocking the eyes, people outside the formation can't see the people and things in the formation at all, I didn't expect this golden cicada's gaze to be so sharp, he can see him directly through the formation!

Before Wuqing could do anything, he felt the golden cicada's gaze linger on the natal wooden card on his chest for a while and then took it back, and when he looked over again, the golden cicada was quietly watching the poisonous insects fighting below, ignoring his gaze.

Wuqing knew that this was the role of the natal wooden card, this golden cicada should be a very deep demon cultivator, he didn't know the details and didn't dare to act rashly, at the moment in line with the principle that the land of right and wrong should not stay for a long time, he withdrew the formation, gave a salute to the golden cicada, and then jumped on a thick tree trunk, and jumped from the trunk to continue to hurry.

After a long while, Wu Qing saw that there were no poisonous insects on the ground, and jumped down and jumped back to the ground. After hurriedly eating a few mouthfuls of dry food and drinking some water, Wuqing looked at the map, only felt that his forward route was a little deviated, so he flew into the air, went out of the woods and determined his current position with reference to the surrounding markers......

............

In the early morning of the sixth day in this dense forest, Wuqing flew up to the canopy of the tree again, and when he saw a hazy mountain shadow in front of him, Wuqing looked at the map, looked around, and exhaled a long breath after some comparison: It's finally here!

The hardships of the journey in the past few days are far more than Wuqing expected, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a test of life and death, Wuqing even suspects that if Yan Shihua really entered this great wilderness, even if he had all kinds of preparations, he would have died here.

Seeing that the target was getting closer and closer, Wuqing was secretly preparing while hurrying, while observing whether there was a secret whistle around, and once again thinking about the situation of the Bronze Bird Walled City in his mind.

As the saying goes: Look at the mountains and run dead horses. Although Wuqing, who was already familiar with the road in the dense forest, had been moving forward quickly, it was only when it was dark that he arrived at the Tongque Walled City at the foot of the mountain.

It is said that it is a walled city, but in fact, it is a wall built of wood and stone masonry to enclose a place, and look inside along the gate, there are many houses with wood and stone structures, it is dinner time, many houses are smoking, and Wuqing, who has not seen a figure for several days, even though he knows that the people here can be said to be his enemies, but he still feels happy from the heart.

The guards patrolling on the walled city wall saw Wuqing under the city wall, and wanted to ring the bell to warn, but when they saw the natal wooden plaque hanging on Wuqing's chest, they shouted at Wuqing: "Who are you?"

Wu Qing bowed his hand to the guards on the city wall and said, "I am Yan Shihua from Jiaozhou City, and I came to the ancestral land to participate in the Enlightenment Ceremony on the order of my third uncle!"

After a few guards muttered for a while, they said to Wuqing: "Then you come to the city first, and someone will receive you at the gate." ”

Wuqing bowed his hand again, and without saying much, went straight to the gate that was made of thick wooden planks.

There were two guards standing there in the gate, first checking Wuqing's natal wooden card, and then checking the things on Wuqing's body, Wuqing had already hidden the mountain and river bag close to his body, leaving only an ordinary Qiankun bag containing dry food, water and sundries on his body.

After a rough inspection by the guards, Wuqing took out a letter and said to the two guards: "Two eldest brothers, my third uncle said that I should give this letter to the person in charge, you see ......"

One of the guards smiled and said: "Don't say that, you are the elder of the 'world' generation, and the two of us are your nephews, you don't need to be polite to us, you should personally present this letter to the Ninth Uncle Ancestor!"

Wuqing smiled and nodded, but he didn't expect this Yan Shihua to be not low in this Yan clan, and said with a smile: "That's the case, I'll go." ”

After saying goodbye to the two guards, Wuqing walked in the direction he pointed out just now, and the people along the way looked at him with some surprise, but no one stepped forward to ask, and Wuqing came to the door of the ancestral hall like this.

This ancestral hall is obviously much taller than the surrounding houses, the gate is closed, and there is a plaque hanging on it, which reads the Great Wei Ancestral Hall, the font is vigorous and powerful, revealing a majesty.

Wuqing stepped forward and patted the door gently, the door of the ancestral hall opened, and Wuqing raised his leg to enter. In the courtyard, an old man was sitting cross-legged on a stone pier unintentionally, unaware of Wuqing's arrival. Seeing this, Wuqing didn't come forward to inquire, but just stood aside with his head down, waiting for the old man to finish his work.

After a long time, the sky was completely dark, and the old man moved his eyelids slightly, and after a few breaths, the old man stood up, looked at Wuqing and said without emotion: "What's the matter?"

Wu Qing raised the letter above the center of his eyebrows, bowed down and said: "Shihua came from Jiaozhou City to participate in the spiritual enlightenment ceremony in the clan. ”

The old man took the letter, opened it directly, and after reading the letter, he raised his eyes and looked Wuqing up and down, and said: "It's not early, you can rest in this ancestral hall for a night, and talk about business tomorrow." ”

Wuqing had no objection, and the old man didn't pay attention to Wuqing anymore, and went straight out of the ancestral hall, and closed the door of the ancestral hall, leaving Wuqing alone in the huge ancestral hall......
