Chapter 166: The Barrier (Part II)
Along the way, the ape spirit and his party galloped under the leadership of Xiao Zhang, and at the same time learned some things from his mouth in the past ten years.
After ten years of war, the fairy world has been divided into two parts, one of which belongs to the group of demons, and the other belongs to the territory of the immortals, in order to stop the war, a barrier has been built between the two, this barrier is set up by the immortals together, so unless there is a stronger existence than these immortals, this barrier cannot be passed.
But having said that, this barrier is not completely isolated from the two places, under normal circumstances, you can enter and exit at will, of course, this is only limited to immortals, if that group of demons wants to break in, they will be immediately torn apart by the power of the barrier, and it can be regarded as Immortal Venerable leaving a way back for these immortals.
This barrier was so far away from where the ape spirit was that it made them fly for more than a month before they felt it, and when Xiao Zhang pointed to a void in front of him and proudly introduced it as a barrier, except for the ape spirit, Ao Fan and they all frowned, because in their eyes, there was nothing there.
Only in the eyes of the ape spirit, in that place there was a huge golden barrier that connected heaven and earth, and this barrier stretched out to the middle of nowhere, and it was impossible to see the end at a glance.
Subconsciously, everything in the barrier began to decompose itself in the mind of the ape spirit, and the originally chaotic barrier formed one after another connected formations in the continuous decomposition, and these formations also disintegrated, and finally everything in the barrier appeared in the ape spirit's mind.
All of this was completely completed in less than ten breaths in the ape spirit's mind, so much so that it seemed to others that he was just looking at the barrier in a daze for a while.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhang was even more disdainful of the ape spirit in his heart, and just glanced at him and stopped paying attention, after all, no immortal monarch would pay too much attention to the "immortal general" who was lower than himself.
The ape spirit retracted his gaze, still as silent as at the beginning, but the smile on the corner of his mouth never disappeared, it seemed that he liked to smile after reaching the Immortal Venerable, which even the ape spirit himself did not notice.
Xiao Zhang greeted Ao Fan warmly, and Ao Fan also responded occasionally, during the conversation, they were less than a hundred zhang away from the barrier, and from here it was clear that there were many immortals behind the barrier, and their expressions were mostly relaxed, and they did not have any worries because of the battle that would come at any time.
On the other side of the barrier was a wasteland, and the ground above it was dark red, the color of blood, and the hurricane blew through, stirring up the red earth, and occasionally the white bones of the forest could be seen, but it was also immediately covered and buried.
Xiao Zhang took Ao Fan and them over, his popularity in this place seemed to be very good, and a few people came to greet him all the way, and he responded one by one.
After tea time, the ape spirit and his party were already standing in front of the barrier, and although they were close at hand, they still couldn't notice it.
Although Ao Fan couldn't see it, he also stopped the moment the ape spirit stopped, turned his head to look at Xiao Zhang, and asked, "I don't know where the demon you are talking about is?"
Xiao Zhang laughed, patted Ao Fan's shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, it's rare to come here, I'll take you around here, and by the way, let you get familiar with the environment." In this way, you can adapt to the situation when you fight in the future, so you won't lose your life. ”
Ao Fan just nodded, didn't say anything more, and followed Xiao Zhang quietly.
Although this place is not surrounded by walls, there are still many immortals who release their houses and set up stalls in front of the house, and those items on display are varied, from immortal weapons to elixirs, and some of the quality is quite good.
The ape spirit walked slowly in front of this stall, and from time to time he would squat down and pick a few things, but he just looked at it, and didn't take it away, with his current strength, plus everything in the cave heaven immortal weapon, it was really good to be able to make him look at it, at least it was rare in the fairy world.
As he walked, the ape spirit found that he had come to the end, and in front of him was the last stall, but just as he turned to leave, a figure was sitting there silently a hundred feet away, and there seemed to be something in front of him.
The ape spirit stopped turning and walked towards the figure.
It was an old man, with gray hair falling disheveledly on his shoulders, and his clothes were full of oil stains, and there was even a foul smell coming from him, so that no one approached the old man at all, and some people even looked at it from a distance with disgust on their faces, and avoided it after a glance at it from a distance.
The ape spirit's entry made the old man's eyelids with his eyes closed slightly raised, but he immediately closed them again, and he didn't seem to see the ape spirit.
Walking to the front, the ape spirit did not bother the old man, but looked down at the items in front of the old man, there was no treasure light circulation, and there was no elixir exuding a pleasant aroma, on the contrary, the things there were very worn, and even some of the immortal weapons had cracks on the surface, and the light was dim, it was obvious that those immortal weapons were no longer usable.
But the ape spirit did not leave immediately, but squatted down and began to check the broken things one by one, and even those broken immortal weapons did not miss them, and still picked them up one by one and looked at them very carefully.
In this unfrequented stall, a man suddenly appeared, who was carefully selecting the rags there, and some people once thought that the old man was a master, and had endured the smell, and selected them in his stall, but the final result was that they were all rags, and they were useless at all.
This matter gradually spread, and in the end, all the immortals in this place did not patronize it at all, and even the stalls that were originally a little close to him were kept away from him as much as possible.
Xiao Zhang naturally saw the ape spirit's actions, and his eyes were full of ridicule, and he said unceremoniously to Ao Fan, "It seems that this friend of Your Excellency has an interest in collecting garbage." ”
As soon as these words came out, the immortals who followed Xiao Zhang burst out laughing, and a few of them even echoed, "Yes, he is so lucky today, he met a person who specializes in rags, and he should be able to see a lot of things that make his heart move." ”
"That's right, I've been to this old man's stall before, and those rags are a long time old, and it's also very valuable to collect. ”
......
Listening to these words, Xiao Zhang's face also showed a mocking smile, not afraid that Ao Fan would be angry because of this, because this was almost his territory, as long as the other party dared to make a move, he was confident that he would be able to knock the three people in front of him down in an instant.
However, to his surprise, Ao Fan listened to these words that were obviously insulting to his friend, and was indifferent, just glanced at the other party and stopped paying attention to him, and the other two were the same, which made Xiao Zhang even more sure that the waste was also not welcome in this group of people.
So he became even more unscrupulous, a sarcastic word came out of his mouth, and he deliberately amplified his voice, such a big movement quickly attracted the attention of the people around him, and soon someone joined them, which also made the originally quiet place a lot of hustle and bustle.
Ao Fan was still expressionless, as if he couldn't hear or see all this, but walked through the stalls one by one, like an ape spirit, occasionally squatting down and looking through a few times.
The ape spirit didn't seem to hear the sarcastic words that were obviously addressed to him, and he was still carefully selecting there, and the old man had his eyes closed from beginning to end, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with him.
Time passed slowly, and the group of immortals seemed to find it boring, and the hustle and bustle slowly disappeared, and finally the place fell into silence again, and the immortals who had gathered to watch the ape spirit's jokes dispersed one after another.
Putting down a broken space ring in his hand and picking up the last thing here, the ape spirit opened his mouth and asked, "How many immortal coins does this sell?"
It was an ordinary stone, and it seemed to be very old, and the surface was somewhat soft, and it was held in the hand of the ape spirit, and the light wind blew, blowing up grayish-white lime.
The old man still didn't open his eyes and asked, "How much do you think this thing is worth?"
The ape spirit smiled slightly and said, "In my eyes, this thing is worthless. ”
The old man's eyes, which had been closed, finally opened, and unlike the old man's dress, they were a pair of clear eyes, and the ape spirit could even see his own reflection in them.
The old man looked at the ape spirit with interest, touched his chin, and asked, "In that case, please put it down." ”
The ape spirit looked at the old man and glanced at the stone in his hand, but he didn't put it back as he said, but the light in his hand flashed, and he was included in the cave immortal weapon.
The old man was not angry, but asked, "Since it is worthless, why do you want to take it?"
The ape spirit did not answer, the light in his hand flashed, and a pitch-black stone appeared in his hand, which was a piece of the underworld stone the size of a human head, but this underworld stone was completely imprisoned by the ape spirit at this moment, so the power inside it could not be dispersed, so it looked no different from an ordinary stone.
When the old man saw this Yin Yin Stone, his pupils shrank slightly.
The ape spirit placed the Yin Yin Stone in front of the old man and asked, "Dare to ask the old man how much this stone is worth?"
The old man stared at the Yin Stone for a long time, then suddenly grinned, and also looked at the ape spirit and said, "It's not worth much." As he spoke, he put away the Stygian Stone.
The ape spirit only smiled slightly, and left without further ado.
When he turned around, the old man also put away his stall, glanced at the ape spirit again, then turned to leave, and gradually disappeared from people's field of vision.
The ape spirit gently came behind Long Potian, and the latter was arguing with the immortal who was setting up a stall with red ears, and in Long Potian's hand at the moment, he was grasping a red golden tree trunk, and a hot feeling came to his face, and the slightly distorted air proved that the temperature of this tree trunk was definitely not low, but even so, he was still grabbed by Long Potian indifferently in his hand, and it seemed that he couldn't feel the slightest heat wave.
Long Po was fighting for it, and suddenly felt someone approaching behind him, so he turned his head, and when he saw that it was the ape spirit, he smiled innocently, and put down the trunk in his hand with some embarrassment.
Without waiting for him to stand up, the ape spirit threw the stone he had just gotten from the old man's stall to Long Potian, and said, "There is time to refine him." ”
Long Potian took the stone, looked at the stone that seemed to be shattering at any time, and was stunned for a while, not knowing the intention of the ape spirit, but when he wanted to ask, the ape spirit had already walked away, leaving him there looking at the stone in his hand with a puzzled face.
