Ten days after the disappearance of the boundary gate.

On the edge of the sandy field, in the middle of the snow.

The cold wind howled, rolling up the snow on the ground and drifting away into the distance. The bitter cold wind is like a sharp blade, blowing on people's faces, and it hurts for a while.

On the snowy field, three figures slowly moved forward.

Since coming out of the Red Rainbow Sect, Huang Yuchen and Qi Zhengye and Liu Xing'an have been in this vast snowfield for nearly ten days. Except for a village and town that was still populated on the way, they never saw anyone again after resupplying it once.

On the edge of the Si Teng Sandy Land, there is no one for thousands of miles, and further on, there is a wild woodland, and the place recorded on the map is also in this wild woodland.

Facing the wind, snow and cold, even if the three of them were cultivators, they were a little unbearable. Recently, the three of them could only choose a slightly leeward place to dig a hole in the snow that could accommodate several people, and simply rest for a while. After a few days, such a cruel environment and way of traveling really made the three of them suffer.

But fortunately, Huang Yuchen's mood is not bad, the matter of Chihong Sect has come to an end, although he is worried about the war of his eldest brother Huang Yuanwu in the imperial capital, but the war will not help him himself, so he made up his mind that he must find out what his father experienced back then, only by figuring out this, all these things that happened later, he can fully understand.

After passing through the Red Rainbow Sect, the energy composition in Huang Yuchen's body has undergone earth-shaking changes, the two meridians have been completely shattered, integrated into his own flesh and blood, instead, a vortex appeared on his chest that outsiders cannot see, and the power of nature entered this vortex, and was refined by the mixed element array in the vortex, turning into another form of energy. Huang Yuchen didn't know if this energy could still be called Dou Qi, he only knew that the energy in his body could be mobilized at any time now, and there was no need to quickly run the Zhou Tian meridians before.

At this moment, if he wants to perform any spell, he can move completely at will, and the energy in his body is like his limbs, and he can use it freely.

I don't know if anyone else in this world has seen or had such a change, and Huang Yuchen can't tell the blessings and misfortunes in it, but he has experienced several lives and deaths in the Red Rainbow Sect, and it is no longer appropriate to be alive to explore the secrets in his heart at this moment, and now it seems that this energy vortex in his body has not caused him the slightest inconvenience, on the contrary, it has also improved his ability.

He didn't know what level he was now, and he had also chatted with Qi Zhengye and Liu Xing'an in the past few days, and the two of them were completely at a loss for such a change, if it weren't for Huang Yuchen using this pure white energy, they wouldn't have believed it at all. Although I don't know where this energy came from, since it can be replenished by the power of nature, it must still be a power within the scope of the power of nature. What's more, in the Red Rainbow Sect before, after the appearance of the Boundary Gate, this kind of pure white energy also appeared.

Liu Xing'an analyzed that this pure white energy should be related to the Instantaneous Realm, because the two of them had also used similar energy, and it seemed that this energy was going to completely surpass Dou Qi, but now Huang Yuchen didn't know how to use it at all.

For the current harsh environment and long journey, Qi Zhengye also complained a few words during the period, he and Liu Xing'an were practicing in the sect before, and then went to the Dongwang Mansion, and then they have been staying by Huang Yuchen's side, to say that they have not suffered this kind of suffering at all. However, seeing that Huang Yuchen also gritted his teeth and insisted, and going to this cave was the order of their master Xu Xiuping, he could only grit his teeth and insist.

"There's not even a single person in this damn place. Today's weather is better than a few days ago, and the wind is much lighter than before, but it is still cold and cold, Qi Zhengye bared his teeth, followed behind Huang Yuchen, and couldn't help complaining: "Yuchen, it's not me saying you, the last time we passed by the villages and towns, we should have taken more food, not before."

We know when we will be able to populate, but we are running out of food. ”

When Huang Yuchen heard this, he turned around and smiled at Qi Zhengye, and said: "Not long ago, you can enter the jungle, there are naturally wild beasts in the jungle, if the senior brother feels that it is difficult to swallow these dry foods, he can hunt some game to eat at that time." ”

Huang Yuchen's words were an understatement, and the bad weather didn't seem to affect his mood at all. Since coming out of the Red Rainbow Sect, Qi Zhengye and Liu Xing'an both felt that Huang Yuchen seemed to have changed a little, and became much more mature than before. Although he slept in the open along the way, as a child of the royal family who had been growing up in the palace, Huang Yuchen was able to endure the cruel environment to a degree that faintly surpassed the two mountain savages.

Qi Zhengye blinked and didn't speak again. He has complained a few times in the past few days, Huang Yuchen is understated every time, in fact, for a few of their cultivators, such an environment is not enough to kill them, at most it will be very uncomfortable, Qi Zhengye complained not because he was unwilling to move forward, but because of his personality, but Huang Yuchen's recent performance was indeed beyond the expectations of the two of them.

"Senior brother, don't you think that Yuchen seems to be a little different lately?" Qi Zhengye deliberately slowed down, waited for Liu Xing'an behind him to come up, and said softly to Liu Xing'an: "We took him before, but now it seems that he is taking us with us." ”

When Liu Xing'an heard this, he nodded lightly and said: "We have no way of knowing what Yuchen experienced that night, but from what we saw, what happened that night has completely exceeded your imagination, and it is the instantaneous realm, and it is the Venerable of the Red Rainbow Sect, and there is a stone gate that makes the heart palpitate, and we are not directly involved in the heart and are still shocked, not to mention Yuchen who is in the center of the whirlpool." He is much calmer now than before, there are too many unbelievable things in this world, we can't imagine what Yuchen has experienced. ”

"In less than two hours, you say what you can experience. Qi Zhengye was a little puzzled: "He has changed a little, according to what I said, his temperament has changed greatly, if it is according to the past, he will definitely find a way to improve the current situation, but now it is not the case at all, we are moving so simply, but he seems to be fine." ”

"You see two hours, but whether he went through it or not, it's not known. Liu Xing'an replied softly: "You and I have both entered the gate of time and space, and we have both seen the top people in this world with our own eyes, under them, what else is impossible." ”

Liu Xing'an said, Qi Zhengye immediately thought of the situation after being brought into the gate of time and space by Xu Feng in the East Wangfu before, and what happened in the Dongwang Mansion that night really made him feel uneasy. Especially the old man in white who appeared later, he easily resolved the crisis in the East Palace, and was able to accurately find the location of several of them in the gate of time and space, which was really appalling.

"Alright, don't talk about it, let's keep up. After Liu Xing'an finished speaking, he glanced at Qi Zhengye, chuckled, took a few steps forward, and followed behind Huang Yuchen.

The three of them continued to move forward, and after traveling for more than two hours, through the drifting snow in the distance, they saw a low city wall in the distance, Qi Zhengye immediately widened his eyes, pointed to the front and said, "Look, there is a city in front!"

Huang Yuchen was thinking about things at the moment, and as soon as Qi Zhengye said it, he immediately looked up, only to see that in the snow, there was indeed a city with low walls, just at the edge of the woodland, in this vast snowfield, like an oasis in the desert.

"It's really a city. Huang Yuchen frowned slightly, and said: "I know the mountains and rivers of praying for heaven well, and I have never seen any classic maps marked, there will be a city here." ”

Liu Xing'an came to Huang Yuchen's side at this time, raised his eyes and looked forward, and said: "The classics and maps are not necessarily true, Yuchen, you look at this city, the city wall is low, covering an area of at most a few miles, such a small border city, not marked."

In the map of the empire, there are also extenuating circumstances. It just so happens that we don't have much supplies, so it's better for us to go into this city to rest for one night before entering the forest, so as to relieve the fatigue on our bodies. ”

Huang Yuchen looked at Liu Xing'an, felt that what he said made some sense, nodded slightly, and then the three of them quickened their pace and went straight to the city in front.

A few miles away, from the beginning of seeing this city, the three of them quickened their pace, but they also walked for half an hour to arrive, and when they arrived near the city, they saw that the gate of this city was wide open, and there were no defenders on the left and right, as if it was for people to enter casually, but this made Huang Yuchen feel that something was not quite right.

"Why don't there be a sergeant guarding the gate?" Huang Yuchen frowned, looking inside through the city gate, the city is not very big, you can see the city wall at a glance, but there are many pedestrians in the city, this is obviously an inhabited city, not an empty or abandoned city.

"In this kind of small border town, where do you need any sergeants guarding the door, who do you think will spend so much effort here like us. Qi Zhengye said disapplausively: "In my opinion, it is too much to say that this is an abandoned city, do you think that if you are a local official, will you really send someone to guard the city and collect taxes? I am afraid that the taxes collected are not enough for the travel expenses." ”

"Let's talk about it in the advanced city. Liu Xingan smiled at Huang Yuchen, took the first step, and entered the city directly, followed by Qi Zhengye. Although Huang Yuchen felt that something was not quite right, he still followed the footsteps of the two into the small city.

The city is full of traffic.

Although the small city is not big, it is complete, there are no soldiers guarding the city, but there is no such imperial architecture as the city lord's mansion, and there are no military flags on the left and right city walls, it is more like an ownerless city, but the various buildings in the city look a little vicissitudes.

There were a lot of pedestrians on the street, but when they saw the three of them, they all obviously cast curious eyes, obviously, such a small border city, located in a remote area, there are really few outsiders here.

"Well, you see, there's an inn over there. I really didn't expect that there would be an inn in such a city. Qi Zhengye stretched out his hand and pointed, Huang Yuchen looked down, and sure enough, he saw an inn with a wine banner on the side, Qi Zhengye and Liu Xing'an were both a little exhausted, and after seeing the inn, they walked over directly. Huang Yuchen looked left and right, and the pedestrians on the road threw strange glances at him, making him feel a little awkward, and hurriedly walked a few steps to keep up with Qi and Liu.

It's not so much an inn as a wine shop, when Huang Yuchen pushed the door in, this small storefront was actually full of guests, and they were attracted by the sound of Qi Zhengye pushing the door, and their eyes were all cast over.

Qi Zhengye, who was the first to go, was stunned by them, smiled wryly, looked at the counter on the side, and asked, "Boss, stay in the hotel." ”

The owner of the wine shop was behind the counter, and when he saw Qi Zhengye and the other three of them, he was stunned at first, and then immediately reacted, laughed, and said, "Okay, good, please among the three guest officers." As he spoke, he made a gesture of please, and Xiao Er, who was waiting on the side, immediately came up to lead the way.

The three of them walked back down the lobby of the wine shop, and the wine shop was noisy again, with many people drinking and talking loudly.

"Have you heard?" said one of them.

"Of course I heard about it, but the news spread very quickly, it's only been a few days, and we've all received the news here. The other took a big sip of his wine and said.

"That's natural, a big event to pray for heaven, how can you be unhappy with the change of emperor. ”

"I heard that the current new emperor is the son of the younger brother of the previous emperor's father, why is it so messy. ”

"What a mess, isn't it the little prince of the East Palace, I heard that he pacified the rebellion of the three kings, and then ascended the throne hall by himself. ”

When Huang Yuchen heard this, he was shocked.
