Chapter 243: Thousands of miles of white bones on the ground

The picture projected by Tuling Zhu has stopped, and Huo Yingjun's eyes flickered and stood on the spot for a long time, and then the immature aura on his body gradually receded, and he felt more and more mature. Read the book no

An old man and a young man were sleepless and speechless all night, and the sky had just dawned in the inn, and the yellow-clothed scholar who had been standing still surveyed and returned to his senses.

"How do you feel?" asked Lao Dao, who was kneeling cross-legged on the couch, closed his eyes.

"Thank you, Master, for untying the knot in my heart for many years. Hearing this, Huo Yingjun immediately turned around and bowed deeply.

"Well, a little calmer. But....... Dao Yun first noticed that the young man had changed significantly, but there still seemed to be something missing in the dark.

"Master, but it doesn't hurt to speak, listen to the respect. "The scholar in yellow has a calm mind and is not emotionally turbulent.

"Boy, your current state is still so bad, just like that. After saying that, Lao Dao got up and walked out the door.

At this time, Bai Qingshan and Hua Qingling were already waiting outside the door, and saw the Taoist come out and leave together. Huo Yingjun hurriedly followed the three of them with a little doubt, and at the same time, he kept wondering in his heart what the old Tao said.

The group of four people continued to hurry, and along the way, as long as it was a slightly decent city within the influence of Liuyun Pavilion, they were all inexplicably taken care of. Taoists don't want to owe favors for no reason, so they look for rural villages and towns to walk.

As a top-level force, Liuyun Pavilion has a very vast area, and it took Daoyun Junior and the others five days to travel to its border.

"Master, in front of you is the last border city of Liuyun Pavilion, called Gate Shenling. Bai Qingshan looked up at the front for a moment, then turned around and said respectfully.

"Menshenling, Menshenling, why is this place named like this. The Taoist can't help but ask, often every place name has a reason.

"In fact, this place was not called Menshenling before, its original name was Yingke City, which represents the meaning of Liuyun Pavilion to make friends all over the world.

However, an accident 50 years ago led to the name of Yingke City was very unlucky, and it was renamed Menshenling at the strong request of the local people. The man in Tsing Yi carefully introduced the origin of the name of the city.

"Oh, Poor Dao feels that the welcome city is very sincere, what happened to make this name unlucky. "Lao Dao was interested for a while.

"The master doesn't know that there can only be some vassal small forces around each top force, and this Liuyun Pavilion is no exception. Fifty years ago, these small people somehow got a plague that has not been seen for thousands of years. For a time, many civilians died.

When some people heard the news, they immediately fled to the sphere of influence of Liuyun Pavilion, and they didn't think about it, and it also affected the people here. At that time, the Duanmu Sect Master couldn't bear to let his people's lives be ruined, so he spent a lot of money to invite the alchemists of the Refining Alliance, and it took several years to quell the plague in the territory.

Afterwards, the people of Liuyun Pavilion believed that the welcoming city not only welcomed the vast number of people in the world, but also welcomed the plague. Therefore, changing the name of Menshenling has the meaning of driving away evil spirits and dispeling plagues. ”

"Oh, I see. But the plague can only be cured once and for all if the root is removed. Caring about the snow in front of your house is not the final solution. Otherwise, as long as there is a plague carrier, it may continue to ferment and cause unrest. ”

"Master, having said that, the cost of eliminating the plague is expensive, even the top force at that time, Liuyun Pavilion, has suffered heavy losses. That Shenling also had another meaning at that time, intercepting all outsiders. ”

"What do you mean, at that time, the people outside the country and even the spiritual cultivators could only fend for themselves?" Dao Yunchu's face sank, Liuyun Pavilion, as a top force, did not fulfill its due responsibilities.

"Master don't be angry, I've heard my father talk about this matter. At that time, Uncle Duanmu was really forced to do so, and it was not easy to control the mixing of foreign personnel, and the people of Liuyun Pavilion might suffer a catastrophe if they were not careful. Huo Yingjun hurriedly explained.

"What happened to those people outside the country later?" Lao Dao continued to ask with unabated anger.

"This ...... At that time, the intermediate and top forces bordering those small forces outside the country followed the example of Liuyun Pavilion to seal down the city and lock down the country, and in the end, none of them survived for thousands of miles.

However, it was all fifty years ago, and although the once barren land was vast and sparsely populated, there are now new forces and people living there. Bai Qingshan replied truthfully.

Dao Yun's eyes closed slightly when he first heard this, and soon let out a sigh. Then he stabilized his emotions and strode towards the border gate city of Menshenling. After all, things have changed, the tragedy of the past has happened, and Taoists cannot change the past.

The Tsing Yi couple didn't dare to say much, so they hurriedly followed. Seeing this, the yellow-clothed scholar looked embarrassed, and seemed to have some scruples and hesitated in his demeanor.

"Master, it's better to inform the person in charge of the Gate God Ridge below, and let's fly directly from here. Huo Yingjun squeaked and shouted quietly.

"Why?" asked Lao Dao, raising his eyebrows and turning around.

"That, that, master, you don't know, since the plague, according to legend, as soon as you go out of the Shenling, until the Xiaoyao Gate, there are mass graves, known as thousands of miles of white bones on the ground. ”

Fifty years ago, in the plague, the small forces and capable people in it flew away, leaving the low-level cultivators and countless ordinary people, who could only be violently corpsed and corpses all over the field.

At that time, the people who died first due to the plague were better, and there were relatives and friends who buried them. Later, as the epidemic worsened, the death toll multiplied, and some people simply wrapped the dead bodies in straw mats and threw them into the wilderness.

Later, the plague completely got out of control and more people died than the living, and the corpses were left untreated, and the streets and alleys and even the wilderness and jungle were everywhere.

At that time, the radius was full of rotting corpse remains, but fortunately, the Holy Spirit Continent had sufficient spiritual energy to suppress this dead qi. However, whenever night falls on the night of the full moon and the yin qi is concentrated, there will still be a creepy wail from this thousand-mile mass grave.

Dao Yun was speechless when he heard this, and continued to walk towards the gate of Menshenling City. The guards at the city gate saw the four of them from afar and hurriedly opened the city gate. They had already received instructions from above, so naturally they did not dare to slack off.

A group of four people entered Menshenling, where there were almost no noodle shops and no pedestrians. They walked straight to the opposite side, leading to the gate of the Qianli mass grave. At this time, a figure in a golden helmet and armor hurriedly rode a horse.

"The last general, Xing Rongguang, has seen the master, has seen the little son of the Huo family, and the last general has lost his distance and looks forward to all Haihan. I saw a middle-aged man jumping off his horse and performing a military salute.

General Xing was polite. Lao Dao and the son of the Huo family politely returned the salute.

"Master, Huo Gongzi, the pavilion master has ordered everyone to walk through this place, and they can fly to the place they want to go. Xing Rongguang looked puzzled and couldn't help but admonish.

"General Xing is kind enough to understand it, but the old man plans to go on foot. Dao Yunchu kindly refused the other party's kindness.

"Master, when you go out of the city gate in front of you, there is an endless mass grave, and there is no beautiful scenery to speak of, I am afraid that your eyes will be stained. Xing Rongguang didn't know what this person meant, so he told the truth in desperation.

"General Xing's good intentions have been known, but the old man is here for the thousands of miles of white bones, and he hopes that the general will make it convenient. ”

"Since the master has come with a purpose, the last general can't say anything more, open the city gate and let him go. "Although General Jin Jia doesn't know what kind of medicine is sold in the old gourd, since the other party is bent on going his own way, he will not stop him.

There were a few clicks of slowly opening the city gate, and several city gate guards slowly opened the rusty city gate with red faces and red ears. It seems that this door has not been used for a long time.

The moment the gate of the city bordering the foreign country was opened, a gloomy wind blew in their faces, and everyone couldn't help but tremble, and a trace of panic and desolation rose in their hearts.

Dao Yunchu looked at it, and there were several scattered white bones not far from the city gate, I don't know if they were left by humans or other beasts. He glanced ahead and continued to stride out of the gates.

Bai Qingshan and Hua Qingling glanced at each other and resolutely followed. Huo Yingjun's face turned pale, and although he hesitated, he still carefully followed behind the Tsing Yi couple.

"Take care, everyone. Xing Rongguang clasped his hands into fists to see the four off, and then ordered the city guards to close the rusty gate again.

"Master, before the epidemic happened here, my husband and wife came here. Now the appearance has changed greatly, and there is no way to distinguish the direction below. "Bai Qingshan's guide is temporarily useless.

"Since Big Brother Bai doesn't know the way, Master, should we find another way. When the yellow-clothed scholar heard this, he seemed to have grasped a straw and immediately suggested changing routes.

"You don't have to change paths, just take this route. Perhaps, the loss that the old man said is here. ”
