When the sixth-year students of the Heavenly Prison of the Southern Heavenly Courtyard were still tracing upstream, a field on the border of the Southern Dynasty was just being cultivated.

Weeds and miscellaneous trees were burned into scorched earth in man-made fires, and when the rain fell in a few days, the seeds could be sown when the fire was removed.

Standing in the black open field, even if you can easily reach farther places, you will always feel that the night will come early.

A sergeant from the Southern Dynasty sat on a grassy slope that had not been consumed by the flames, slowly rubbing a silver bracelet in his hand.

This is just an ordinary silver bracelet, not a thing of cultivation, and this sergeant of the Southern Dynasty is not a cultivator, this bracelet was secretly given to him by his fiancée when he left his hometown.

At the time, he felt a little too childish, but as he moved away from home, he felt more and more important about it.

In the army, he has also seen countless gifts treasured by veterans, and some of them even carry sachets with them, and what they carry inside is nothing more than the soil of their hometown.

However, it doesn't matter about anything, these things can only sustenance their emotions and make them always remember the beauty of their hometown.

As it grew dark, the wasteland beneath the northern firmament turned into a blurry black line that seemed to fade from the sergeant's eyes.

At this moment, however, he felt the ground tremble.

The sergeant stood up.

He saw fast-moving black dots cross the blurry black line, bringing up flying smoke and dust.

This is the cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

He was shocked.

In the past dozens of days, there have been dozens of battles on the northwest border of the Southern Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the two sides have won and lost each other, even a low-ranking sergeant like him can often hear the news of the death of certain generals and some cultivators.

But this is the junction of Luojian and Huaishui, according to all their past intelligence, the military movement of the Northern Wei Dynasty is going to the northwest, how can the Northern Wei cavalry cross here?

His shock was quickly replaced by the shock that followed.

That group of fast-moving ones was obviously the rear of the Northern Wei elite cavalry, and it was more fast-moving black spots.

Then, a sea of black formed in his sight.

The earth shook.

He saw the black fly ash detach from the ground, jumping restlessly a few inches above the ground.

What went wrong?

The sergeant couldn't imagine how at least hundreds of thousands of troops could be here, but he knew his time had come.

It would replace the Northwest Frontier as the main battlefield of the Southern and Northern Wei wars.

And he himself will be the first batch of Southern Korean soldiers to die here.

He kissed the silver bracelet in his hand with great tenderness, like kissing a lover from afar, and then he shot an arrow into the sky.

With the sharp whistling of arrows, a thunderclap appeared in the sky.

A spear fell from the sky, piercing his body and pinning him to the scorched earth.

I don't know what kind of cultivator it takes to throw a spear at such a distance and kill him.

However, before coughing up blood and dying, the sergeant still drew his long knife and pointed it forward.

......

Even cultivators above the Divine Confusion can only sense what is happening within the range of their perception, and they can't even predict the changes that are tens of miles away, let alone thousands of miles away.

Lin Yi and his entourage had no idea that from this night onwards, the war between the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Wei Dynasty had undergone a fundamental change - from the beginning of the small-scale raids and battles against some fortresses between the two sides, it suddenly turned into an astonishing number of large armies, attacking cities and plundering land.

The Northern Wei Dynasty took Zhongshan Wang Yuanying as the main commander, led hundreds of thousands of troops, and invaded Luokou in Southern Liang in one day and night, while the Southern Dynasty took Xiao Hong, the king of Linchuan, as the generalissimo of the north, and supervised the army to meet the battle.

Within a few days, the combined military strength of the two sides in the Qingxu area of the Southern Dynasties soon exceeded one million.

The real life-and-death war between the two dynasties has begun.

In the past few days, what Lin Yi was worried about did not appear.

This kind of "inner breath" still happened from time to time, and he noticed a strange phenomenon.

His strength didn't seem to grow as quickly as it used to, but his perception grew quickly.

Some martial artists rely purely on body refining, and those with strong strength can also lift hundreds of catties of heavy stones, and this strength is also close to that of Life Palace realm cultivators, but their perception is only slightly sharper than ordinary people, and they will not grow unrestricted with the growth of cultivation like cultivators.

Lin Yi now felt that his strength was slightly better than that of the Black Snake King, a cultivator who had just passed the Destiny Palace realm.

According to the knowledge he had learned in Qi Tian Academy before, including some of the classics he had read, the perception of cultivators in the Destiny Palace Realm was that the sound of flies could be heard within three zhang.

This fly sound does not refer to the buzzing reputation of flies when they fly, but the subtle sound of flies rising and falling, which ordinary people cannot hear at all.

He felt that his current perception seemed to be definitely more than three feet away from the sound of flies.

In the dead of night, even if there is the sound of water, he seems to be able to hear the sound of some fine insects moving ten zhang away, and can even smell the unique smell of many plants ten zhang away.

This kind of perception is at least the perception that only cultivators at the peak of the Life Palace can have.

Could it be that this kind of Great Kura cultivation method can actually be ahead of the True Yuan Gong Method in terms of perception?

As they got closer and closer to Meishan, most of the freshmen of Nantianyuan were a little uneasy, on the one hand, they hoped that they had great luck and could make a splash, but on the other hand, they were worried that they would fall into Meishan, and compared with luck, it seemed that the reality was more worrying.

It is clear to all that in any era, the truly lucky ones are always only a handful of people.

But Lin Yi had an inexplicable sense of impatience.

He had so many spiritual questions to deal with, to try, to get answers. Moreover, the cultivation realm is constantly growing, but he is trapped on the boat, and he has an indescribable sense of depression, like a wild horse trapped in a cage.

After a few days of becoming more and more anxious, they finally entered Huairen County, the end of the continuous Meishan Mountain, crossed the border of the Southern Dynasties, and went deep into the territory of the party, which was really like a long eyebrow between heaven and earth in the distance, which appeared in their eyes.

Meishan is at this end of Huairen County, but the height of the peaks is mostly higher than that section of the party's territory.

......

Huairen County, Tsing Yi River.

In a dense forest along the river, there is a stilted building, which used to be the location of the silver mine, but a few months ago, it was requisitioned by the Southern Liang military, and the silver mine was closed, and this stilted building has become a camp.

The waterway below, which used to be used by small mining boats, has been slightly trimmed and widened to become a larger wharf.

Near noon, a young officer sat on a stake with a bolt rope on the dock, the iron armor on his body was polished, looking at some rotten wood floating in the river on one side, he frowned and said with some annoyance: "I really don't know what those generals are thinking, we have been waiting here for half a month, just waiting for those students who have not dried up." What good can they do?"

"It's not a question of whether it's useful or useless. ”

An elderly general beside him smiled sarcastically, "These students of the Nantian Academy are the sons and nephews of the powerful people of the current dynasty, this is a matter of interest groups dividing interests, and the military camp is the most hierarchical place, so don't complain too much, any military order revolves around how interest groups can obtain greater benefits." Do you think that the life of an elite army is more important than the cultivation of a powerful son and nephew?"

"For us, we can't think about it. One can only think that while carrying out all these military orders, it is enough to win this battle. ”

The elderly general smiled, his smile looked a little lonely and old in the sun, "Dissatisfaction, it's not something we should think about." ”

After saying this, he raised his head slightly, and his gaze fell on a river bend in front of him.

There was a strange sound of water.

A wood-clad ironclad boat appeared in his sight.

And then there's more.

The students of Nantenin Temple, whom they had been waiting for, finally arrived.
