Chapter 379: Yunzhou Rebellion
The unfamiliar environment and strange space made a few people who first arrived here a little uncomfortable.
The elements of heaven and earth here seem to be more difficult to control, and the casting of Dao intent cannot be done at will.
It took a lot of effort for Ruan Ruan to condense into a glimmer of light.
The faint light is lit up, and the surrounding scenery can be faintly discerned.
Zhu Zixin squatted down and slapped Wu Changli's face a few times.
"Hey, what's wrong with you. Zhu Zixin asked strangely.
Wu Changli woke up and slapped the side of his nose a few times with his hand.
"It's been years since I washed my feet, and the smell is enough to kill an army. Wu Changli obviously still had a trace of discomfort and said complainingly.
"Get to work, don't be lazy. Zhu Zixin kicked Wu Changli.
Wu Changli got up from the ground, looking aggrieved.
"There are people here. ”
Wu Changli urged the delusion-breaking mirror hard, and a golden light lit up, shining in the direction of the big foot he had just touched.
"You go and inquire. Wu Changli pinched his nose and motioned for Zhu Zixin to go up and take a look.
Zhu Zixin tiptoed close to the big foot, and followed the light to see a middle-aged man lying on the ground.
"Who are you, what is this place. As soon as Zhu Zixin approached, he was dizzy by the pungent stench.
The middle-aged man was unkempt, his eyes were blank, and he was as silent as a statue.
He was lying on the ground, with a heavy pair of shackles between his feet.
"Looks like a mute. Zhu Zixin shrugged his shoulders and looked around.
"There are people here too. ”
Du Xiaobai found an old man at the place where Zhu Zixin almost fell.
It was the old man's hand that touched Zhu Zixin's ankle that scared Zhu Zixin.
"Old man, why are you staying here, what has happened. Du Xiaobai asked softly.
Wu Changli turned the delusional mirror and illuminated the place where the old man was.
The old man sat on the ground and raised a hand in front of him, as if he was not very accustomed to the sudden light.
"Didn't you get caught here? The old man's voice was hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time.
The old man was also shackled, and his whole body was skinny and bone-like.
"Is this a prison? Wu Changli said in astonishment.
Dark space, damp and cold.
The people here are shackled and held for a long time, and there are all signs that this is indeed a prison.
"We are all monks of Anfu, and we have been imprisoned here for several years since Anfu was captured by Jinfu. ”
The old man's cloudy eyes had a gray color, and his long prison life had worn out his faith.
"Why are they holding you, what is going on in Anfu? Ruan Ruan asked.
Zhu Zixin took out some food and water and put them in front of the old man.
The old man also seems to be in the realm of the primordial infant, where he does not see the light of day, and his cultivation is imprisoned, and he is reduced to the same as a mortal.
After drinking a few sips of water, the old man's spirit gradually improved.
"Actually, it's fairly safe here, people outside are at war, and it's been fighting for years. The old man shook his head and smiled wryly.
"Is this Yunzhou?"
Ruan Ruan was a little unsure, the space they had accidentally broken into was very different from the legendary Yunzhou.
"Yunzhou is no longer what it used to be, since the war between Nanlin County and Beidu County, the entire Yunzhou Continent has been in continuous war. The forces of all sides took advantage of the opportunity to loot resources on a large scale, and they all wanted to develop their own forces in this melee. The old man let out a long sigh and fell into the memory.
There was a war in Yunzhou, which was not good news for Ruan Ruan and the others.
Shui still came to Yunzhou early, and in this sinister environment, where would she go as a woman.
"Which side does Anfu belong to, and what is the origin of that Jin Mansion. ”
Ruan Ruan's heart was a little heavy, the more complicated the environment here, the more difficult it was to find the whereabouts of Shui Yu.
"They are all forces on the periphery of Nanlin County, and Anfu has always been reluctant to be involved in the war, but Jinfu has suppressed Anfu under the banner of recruiting troops from Nanlin County. The old man said heavily.
There was a deep hatred in his eyes, and he seemed to hate the injustice he had suffered.
"The monks who have cultivated to the highest level have all been captured by them to participate in the army formation of Nanlin County, and those of us who are not willing to fight are left here. ”
The old man lowered his head, his body trembling slightly.
"Why did Nanlin County and Beidu County fight? Yuqing asked curiously.
Hearing Yuqing's voice, the old man couldn't help but raise his head and looked at her coldly.
"It's all because of the red face. The old man was depressed, and his tone became cold.
"What do you say? ”
Ruan Ruan frowned, what is the reason that will cause the two forces to fight, and the war has lasted so long.
"The county lord of Beidu County has an only son who rejected the marriage of Nanlin County, and he did not hesitate to leave Yunzhou for this reason, which caused the anger of the county lord of Nanlin County. ”
Could it be that the man Yun still met was the son of the county lord of Beidu County.
Ruan Ruan immediately had a guess, but even if the two parties couldn't get married, they wouldn't just turn their faces and do something about it.
There must be something hidden in this.
"And what about later?" Ruan Ruan then asked.
"The marriage between the two counties is to reach an agreement. At the junction of the South and North Counties, there is a neutral place, and legend has it that there is a fairy well inside, which contains the secret of breaking through the realm of the Yuan Infant. ”
"It's okay for the two families to explore together, why did there be a dispute because of this? Yuqing couldn't help but interject.
"That immortal well is related to the promotion to a higher realm, neither of the two forces wants to see the other enter first, and the so-called marriage is just a superficial balance. The old man said sadly.
The development of any force is inseparable from the plundering of resources, and if you can have the opportunity to cultivate, how can you let others take it away.
"Xianjing is really that magical. ”
Ruan Ruan had experienced that the monks of the Canglan Continent entered the Immortal Tomb to seek a breakthrough, and he couldn't believe these ethereal legends.
Maybe there are some things that seem beautiful, but behind them there is an unknown danger.
"This is a saying that has existed for a long time, and the heaven and earth here seem to be imprisoned by some kind of power, and it is extremely difficult to get promoted. Senjing may be the source of all the secrets, so the southern and northern capital counties are eyeing each other. ”
When the realm cannot be broken through, the practitioner will look for opportunities everywhere, and as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will not hesitate to try.
"But someone really got a chance in the fairy well. ”
Ruan Ruan always felt that things were not so simple, if there was no precedent, who would not hesitate to fight for an opportunity that may not exist.
The old man shook his head, he couldn't provide more information about it.
The war between the two forces has spread to the entire Yunzhou, and even if they are in a remote place, they can't be alone.
It seems that only by going out from here can we learn more clues.
Through Shui Yunxi's hairpin, it is transmitted here, which must be the place where Yun still stayed, leaving her breath.
"How many people are locked up in the dungeon, and whether the guards are strong. ”
Ruan Ruan could only take his thoughts back and put it on getting rid of the predicament in front of him.
"There's war everywhere out there, and it's dangerous to go out. Hundreds of us have been confined here for a long time, and I am afraid that we will be forgotten for a long time, and no one cares whether we live or die. ”
The old man's expression was gloomy, and he had long lost hope for the future.
"You'd rather wait here to die than go out?" Wu Changli somewhat disagreed with the old man's statement.
"If we want to go out, we can't break these shackles on our bodies, and it's hard to get out without cultivation. The old man shook the shackles in his hands and feet, and made a rattling sound.
"Let me try. ”
Ruan Ruan pulled out the Xinghang Sword and slashed at the shackles on the old man's body.
Ding.
The Star Voyage Sword was indestructible, slashing at these seemingly inconspicuous shackles, but it only stirred up a string of sparks.
The old man's whole body trembled, and a painful look appeared on his face.
"This shackle is blessed with a special formation, which cannot be broken by external force. ”
Formations.
Ruan Ruan's eyes showed a glimmer of essence, and with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he looked at Wu Changli.
"Looks like it's time for you to behave again. ”
Wu Changli was a little reluctant and walked over slowly.
Zhu Zixin kicked him in the ass, and Wu Changli almost pounced on the old man.
"I can't see you. Zhu Zixin scolded with a smile.
Wu Changli began to observe these shackles with a sad face, endured the stench coming from the old man's body, and fell into the study.
