Chapter 72, Huangquan Enters the WTO
No one can tell how vast the world is. When you walk through a place, you will find new mountains and seas waiting to be discovered. I think that maybe only a half-immortal with the power of the law and the sense of the heavenly spirit has the ability to travel all over the world.
But when there is nothing to do, who will go around the world blindly?
Therefore, as far as we know, the world is roughly divided into three seas and ten states.
Among them, Yahai is in the west, connecting the country of ten thousand islands and Hailanzhou.
Jinyuntai in Mingri Prefecture controls the entire Wufu Sea area in the south. Of course, the depths of the sea are not under the control of these bald monks.
And to the east is the sea of heaven and water.
As the name suggests, the sea of heaven and water falls from the sky, like a giant waterfall. However, so much water falls every moment of the day, and I have never seen the water rise by more than half a minute. And the top of the waterfall has never been climbed.
The reason why this is so is that it is rumored that every time you go up from the Tianshui Waterfall, there will be a point of pressure from the sky. The further you go, the greater the pressure, even like a 10,000-pound boulder pressing down.
Even according to legend, there was once a Nine Yao Immortal with mystical powers. But even he only followed the Tianshui Waterfall for 9,000 zhang, so he couldn't do it anymore.
Further up, there is still a waterfall with no end in sight. But the limit that the Nine Yao Immortals can climb has come to an end.
Even the Nine Yao Immortals were almost crushed by the pressure of the Giant Waterfall, so the source of the Tianshui Giant Waterfall was even more unknown.
For this reason, the Sea of Heaven and Water is the most mysterious of the three seas. The big demons who were driven out of the inland by Taiyu Huating and Jinyuntai at the beginning mostly went to the sea of Tianshui in the process of fleeing overseas. So much so that today's Tianshui Sea has also become the largest demon outer path lair in time.
As for the northernmost point, it is a bitter cold place where no one can tell the margin, and there is always snow falling all year round.
There is no life and suffering, and the ice and snow do not melt all year round, and not a single inch of grass grows. Don't say that ordinary people are cultivators who have attained cultivation, and if they fall into the depths of lifeless suffering, few people will be able to leave.
Except for the rumors, the Kuxue people who have been handed down since ancient times, almost no mortals can survive in the lifeless and miserable realm. And the only half-understanding of the world's lifeless suffering realm is also derived from exchanging oil and salt materials with the Kuxue people living in it. However, the Kuxue people are cautious in nature, so this understanding is extremely limited.
It is precisely because of this that the lifeless suffering realm located in the northern land is more mysterious than the sea of heaven and water.
And away from the sea, even in the ten inland states, there are countless borderlands.
It is well documented that whether it is occupied by the immortal gate or the residence of ordinary people, it only accounts for a small half of the ten states.
Therefore, the so-called co-dominance of Taiyu Huating and Jinyuntai is just a gathering place for a few human races.
Even in populated places, such as Dongze or the land of a thousand mountains, Buddhism and Taoism do not have much right to speak.
Of course, these places are free from control, but they are also free from the protection of Buddhism. The gains and losses are not good.
For example, now, Dongze and the land of a thousand mountains have undergone changes one after another, and they have fallen into an inexplicable situation together.
Since ten days ago, the Yi people living around Dongze suddenly found that the former magic mountain had disappeared. In its place, there was a huge red pit.
Forced by the deterrence of the Demon Mountain in the past, when this red pit first appeared, no one dared to investigate.
Of course, after all, live in this land. For the sake of safety, after waiting for a while, some of the more powerful Yi tribes still sent their clan repulsors one after another to watch the situation of the pit from afar.
Originally, this pit would have appeared, but it was near the Magic Mountain anyway. Except for a few small clans that couldn't get along, there was no one close there.
However, three days ago, the scouts who came to watch discovered that the pit had changed again.
At some point, a dark red light came out of the pit. Immediately afterwards, the soil at the edge of the pit also collapsed.
The red light shone out from the deep pit, looking strange and as if with an indescribable sense of charm. After looking at it for a long time, it makes people feel the urge to jump down with the red light.
And standing in the distance and watching from afar, watching the soil on the edge of the pit fall from time to time, it is as if there is some inexplicable monster in the deep pit, greedily devouring the earth.
In just three days, the deep pit, which was originally only 100 zhang wide, was fully doubled, and it already occupied the range of ordinary large clan settlements.
What disturbed the rebukes even more was that the fall of the earth around the pit showed no signs of stopping. So much so that every moment that passes, the pit widens by one point.
By now, the dark red light inside the pit had become brighter and brighter, reaching into the sky, and it seemed to stain the clouds in the air with a layer of blood.
Looking at this ominous light, every Yi clan's rebuke couldn't help but feel a sense of panic in their hearts.
This pit that does not stop collapsing, will not swallow up the whole of Dongze!
The idea of making people grow hair behind them is mixed with anxiety and fear, and it permeates the hearts of these people. Some of those who couldn't hold their breath a little had already run back to the clan to inform them of the incident. There are still some calmer ones, and they still plan to wait and see.
But on this day, when the expanding red pit had not stopped, the land of a thousand mountains close to Dongze also underwent a change.
There was a muffled crackling sound that lasted for half a day, and then from somewhere in the center of the Land of a Thousand Hills, the entire sky turned pitch black.
As with the continuous collapse of the deep pit, a large column of smoke is constantly extending from the black sky.
The place shrouded in the black sky was completely dim as far as the eye could see, and no one knew what was going on inside.
In short, whether it is Dongze or the land of a thousand hills. After this series of changes, almost anyone with even the slightest insight knew that something big was about to happen.
On this day, the immortal masters enshrined in several major clans of Dongze came to the deep pit together.
Although it is located in a wild land, there are not as many five-pole cultivators as in the land of a thousand mountains, and there are no people who have achieved five-pole cultivation. But under the patchwork of patchwork, there were also six or seven Five Extremes Immortal Masters.
Among them, the first old woman dressed in Lizhou clothes has the mid-stage cultivation of the Five Extremes, and she is the first of these people.
At this moment, everyone flew over the huge pit, and the soil on the edge of the pit was still falling down. And when you look at the top of the crater, you can't see anything real.
Whether it is the exploration of spiritual power or the perception of qi, it is like a mud cow entering the sea, and there is no response at all.
"What the hell is this, you guys?" After watching for a long time, the old woman at the head said slowly,
"I don't know,"
A man standing beside the old woman shook his head and said, "I didn't find anything under the aura detection, but what I know is that I didn't perceive the breath of the living being, so I don't think it's a big monster." ”
"Brother Xi's Qi Wisdom Method is well-known among us, if you can't even find out Brother Xi, there is nothing you can do about the rest of us!" the old woman said slowly,
"Since it's not like the land of a thousand mountains, if there are ancient demons as a disaster, I don't think it's too much of a problem. A slightly younger man said, "If it is a natural disaster, with the strength of us and others, unless it is such a disaster that collapses the mountains and seas, there should still be a way!"
"Acts of God?"
When the old woman heard this, she suddenly let out a long sigh, looked at the dark red pit under her feet, and said slowly, "You must read the book."
"I'm afraid it's not as simple as that! Not being able to perceive the breath of living beings doesn't mean that there are no monsters below. Isn't there another thing in this world, not much different from a living thing, but not the slightest bit of life. ”
Everyone was silent for a moment, and finally the man beside the old woman hesitated and said,
"You're talking about... Yin ghosts are first-class? Yin ghosts are dead, and it is indeed difficult to identify the methods of ordinary investigation and anger. But if it's a real yin ghost, how powerful it must be to make such a battle!"
"Who said it's just an ordinary Yin ghost!" the old woman's face was a little complicated, "What if there is a door under the deep pit?"
"Door?" everyone was stunned. "Where's the door?"
"The Gate of the Yellow Springs Underworld!"
Hearing the old woman's words, the faces of all the people present turned pale. In the end, it was the older man who forced a smile and said,
"You... You're kidding! How could the Yellow Springs Underworld, such a rumored netherworld, be connected to the mundane world for no reason. ”
The old woman sighed again, but turned away and looked no longer at the pit beneath her feet.
"You wait until you are full of energy and concentration on cultivation on weekdays, and it's normal that you don't know about some rumors. But I was old, and when I was old, I knew that my cultivation was hopeless, so I began to study those ancient books, which could be regarded as passing some time. ”
"You mean to say—" The man beside him asked cautiously,
"Before the second gate of Buddhism and Taoism, there was a catastrophe that destroyed the world, which was known as the disaster of the starfall in ancient times. This calamity is a star falling from the sky, burning the world, the earth shaking, and the molten mountains boiling the sea. Because of this, eight or nine of the world's lives were destroyed, and I don't know how many years it took to recover. ”
"We all know what you're talking about!" the younger man couldn't help but speak again, "but how long has passed since the Starfall Calamity, does it have anything to do with this giant crater?"
The old woman glanced at the young man with a slight frown, as if she was a little dissatisfied with his interruption, but after a pause, she continued,
"The scourge of starfall may have been heard of by most of the immortal cultivators, but in front of the scourge of starfall, there is another catastrophe of annihilation, do you know?"
"Please also tell Senior Xu!" the older man slightly withdrew the young man and said in a deep voice,
The old woman looked at the people in front of her, and said word by word with an extremely solemn face,
"That disaster is the entry of Huangquan into the WTO!"
Land of a Thousand Hills
"Whew!"
Wang Xuan let out a sigh of relief, looking at the green grass under his feet, his face finally showed joy.
According to the guidance of the mountain and river seal, after trekking in the snow for half an hour, Wang Xuan finally stepped through a piece of snow and mist, and appeared in this grass in a flash through the magic circle.
There is no snow, and the surrounding grass is green and wildflowers are flourishing.
A few pink butterflies flew by. Looking up, the blue sky is dotted with clouds, which is the fragrance of the spring sun in May!
The fragrance of flowers and herbs around him flowed into his heart, even if Wang Xuan was not afraid of frost and snow, but in that snow-covered magic circle, it was always uncomfortable to stay for a long time.
Especially if there is also an Elder Dragon emitting black smoke and fire.
Although he still can't figure out the position he has prescribed, now that he has left the Dharma Circle Mountain Tao Pavilion, he can finally find a way out of the land of a thousand mountains.
Yes, leave, Wang Xuan doesn't want to stay in the land of a thousand mountains for a moment now.
Although the mirage said something about the mountain monarch's words before leaving, it sounded very amazing.
But after passing through the cloud bridge, Wang Xuan no longer wanted to return to the Moving Mountain Palace.
Although the mirage demon is kind on the surface, Wang Xuan actually feels that this demon is deep in his heart. If you get along with him for a long time, you may have some trouble.
And the evil dragon that ran out of the black abyss outside the Shantao Pavilion didn't know how it would end. If he returns to the Moving Mountain Hall and rashly gets involved in these things, he won't get any benefits.
What's more, if you take 10,000 steps back, you won't be able to win any good rankings if you jump off the cloud bridge halfway. If you don't say anything about the words given by the mountain king, it's not bad if you don't punish yourself for anger.
So after thinking about it for a while, Wang Xuan felt that it was definitely a wise choice to leave the land of a thousand mountains as soon as possible.
Because it took too much spiritual power to break through the barrier in the Shantao Pavilion, and after leaving the Lock Spirit Array, he drove the wind breath all the way to run wild. At this time, Wang Xuan did not use the Wind Breath Technique, but walked in the mountains and forests with only his legs.
This place should be the depths of the land of a thousand mountains, with forests and forests, and all kinds of giant trees are a few denser and taller than those near the mountain moving hall.
Wang Xuan didn't walk long in it before he realized that he was lost. In desperation, I had to jump up to the top of the tree, identify the direction and then continue on the road.
After a whole day of doing this, the surrounding trees finally became a little shallow, and it seemed that the most difficult deep forest had come out.
It's just that I don't know the direction of this random walk, and where it leads after leaving the land of a thousand mountains.
But no matter where it leads, there is a hidden danger of ghost poison in the body, and the gloomy ghost town of Lianwu will have to go back again.
As for how to deal with the Ghost King and capture the Ghost King Yuanjing after going back, that is not something that can be considered now.
Half a day later,
The sun was setting in the middle of the day, just as a cloud was pouring in, temporarily obscuring the scorching sun.
A shadow was cast, and Wang Xuan, who was walking on the mountain path, was suddenly shocked, and turned his head to look behind. I saw a little green phosphorus fire flying over my head and landing in front of me.
In this blue sky and white day, the sun is almost smoking on the ground, can there still be ghosts?
Wang Xuan stepped forward with some confusion, but he was not afraid. This fist-sized little phosphorus fire, even if it is really a ghost, how powerful can it be?
However, just as Wang Xuan approached, the phosphorus fire suddenly shook as if he was frightened.
Then the blue light flowed, and the phosphorus fire flourished.
In the blazing blue-black phosphorus fire, a tall deer-like demon beast with blue-gray scales suddenly appeared.
The demon beast raised its head and sucked it in, swallowing all the phosphorus fire into its abdomen, and stepped majestically on the four fists of phosphorus fire.
At this time, it lowered its deer head, and looked at Wang Xuan with a burning gaze hanging in the air.
Wang Xuan, who had already read the "Chronicles of Scenery" by heart, naturally recognized this demon beast at a glance, and said with a cold hisser in his mouth,
"Kirin!"
