Chapter 1231: Minan Prefecture
Six months later, the land on the western border of Antong Prefecture.
Due to the need to identify the route, there was no way to perform the shadow escape technique, Lei Luo could only rely on his fastest flying magic weapon, and it took half a year to cross Antong Prefecture.
Along the way, the most exaggerated is the barrenness of this state, the half of the area close to Tianning Prefecture is better, but the other areas are all wasteland, full of life, it is really a place where it is difficult for the living to survive.
Fortunately, he finally came, and now he is located at the junction of Antong Prefecture and Minan Prefecture.
When he flew to the vicinity of this place, he felt that there was a different place, Antong Prefecture was a large wasteland or even a dead land, and Minan Prefecture, which was further west, was relatively better.
Lei Luo was speechless and flew over Antong Prefecture under the rule of the Corpse God Sect, and then stepped into the low level of Minan Prefecture.
When he flew forward, he felt that in the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi here, the smell of death qi had actually faded a lot, and the opposite aura had actually become stronger.
Not only that, after flying over Antongzhou, a trace of emerald green actually appeared in his eyes, which was an emerald green mountain forest.
When he flew to the vicinity to take a look, he saw that in this mountain forest, the trees were crooked, and the holes and branches on them formed a distorted grimace.
Not only that, Lei Luo also felt a breath of underworld qi in the woods below, and it was obvious that these vegetation had absorbed different degrees of ghost qi.
As he flew forward, he even saw some movable vegetation, something that was rare in other areas of the Holy Heavenly Emperor's Dynasty.
As he hurried non-stop, he saw a lot of strangely shaped plants and animals along the way, and they all had one characteristic, that is, their bodies were more or less contaminated with the qi of the underworld.
"It seems that in Minan Prefecture, whether it is a demon beast or a spirit plant, it is related to the ghost path, so it has formed a unique style here, just like the black jade island overseas at the beginning!" he said with a little emotion.
In the current Minan Prefecture, the native demon beasts and even the vegetation have been assimilated by the power of the underworld, verifying the old saying, one side of the water and soil raises the other side.
When Lei Luo flew over the mountains and forests, ready to move on, he found something that shocked him very much, the border of Minan Prefecture was actually inhabited by mortals.
In the mountain forest area that I flew over just now, in the hilly area below, there was actually a Terran walled city, and there was a faint green fire in the walled city.
When he saw it, a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and then the whole person flew down, landed near the walled city, and disappeared into the shadow of the ground, groping towards the walled city.
If there is a walled city here, then maybe there is a map to see, as long as you get the map, you can completely use the shadow escape technique to hurry, and you can shorten the next trip.
The walled city is not large, adding up to only a few hundred households, and under his divine sense, he knows that there are about 1,000 households in the village.
The walled city was built near the mountainside, surrounded by a fence, and the fence was also smeared with some strange blood-colored lines with unknown beast blood, and there were faint spiritual power fluctuations on the lines.
At the four corners of the walled city were four watchtowers, which were lit with green fires, the color of which was formed by the burning of the fat of unknown beasts.
From time to time, the townsfolk on duty would pick up a piece of green and glowing beast from the platform of the watchtower and throw it into the brazier.
With Lei Luo's eyesight, these movements were clearly seen by him.
According to his estimates, there was a faint trace of underworld power in these beast fats, so the flames that burned out were this color.
Not only that, but under his eyesight, the four villagers on duty around him were also looked at by him, and he found that the faces of these villagers were a little pale, and there was also a faint trace of underworld power in their bodies.
But the physique of the villagers
It was not affected by the power of the underworld, on the contrary, the four villagers standing on the watchtower were quite strong.
You must know that once a mortal is contaminated with the power of the underworld, he will be cold all over his body, and under the perennial contact, it will even lead to evil qi entering the body, and the body will be weak and sick, and it is normal to lose and reduce his life.
However, he did not feel a trace of the sequelae of the erosion of the power of the underworld from these four villagers, on the contrary, the power of the underworld in their bodies was suppressed somewhere in their bodies, and they would not run around.
"Strange?" said Lei Luo, curious.
He took advantage of the darkness to burrow into the walled city, and the mortals on the watchtower naturally couldn't notice that someone in the shadow could sneak at his feet, and they couldn't even know that there were people in the shadow.
There were immortal cultivators inside the walled city, and it was in the center of the walled city, in a small wooden two-story building similar to the Witch Doctor Pavilion he had seen in the Holy Emperor's City back then.
There are two immortal cultivators here, an old man who is very old, gray-haired, and thin, and a young man who is about eleven or twelve years old.
At this moment, the old man was sitting quietly in the small building to breathe, and the young man was already asleep at this moment.
The old man's cultivation is at the sixth level of Qi training, and he has barely reached the stage where he can cast low-level spells, while the young man only has the first level of Qi training, although he is considered an immortal cultivator, but the spirit and spirit still tend to be mortals, so he still needs to sleep to replenish his spirit.
On the old man's side, there were many bottles and jars, filled with all kinds of powdered liquids, and Lei Luo also understood why mortals were not afraid of the power of the underworld in this walled city, which should be the effect of these liquids.
Judging from his alchemy master's attainments, the medicine in these potions can neutralize the erosion of the power of the underworld on mortals.
After taking this medicinal liquid, the corrosion and damage of the underworld power in the villagers' bodies were neutralized, and there was not much threat to that bundle of underworld power remaining in the body.
The mortals of Minan Prefecture have lived here for so long, and through the accumulation of countless years of ancestors, they really have a way to deal with the erosion of the power of the underworld.
The old man was meditating and pranayama in his residence, but at this moment, a breath appeared in the room, which was very abrupt, so that he had not noticed it before.
He immediately opened his eyes, and saw a young man in black looking at him with a smile, and the other party's aura was unfathomable.
This time, it was to surprise the old man, obviously he didn't expect that in such a remote place, there would be high-ranking monks passing by here.
However, he didn't panic in the slightest, because if the other party was an evil cultivator who slaughtered mortals, he would have killed people a long time ago, so how could he still appear in front of him.
"Who is the senior, what is the purpose of coming here, and what can the little old man serve?" the old man asked cautiously, his attitude respectful, and even bent down to salute.
"Lei was just passing by here, and he saw that the landform and customs here were quite special compared to other regions of the Holy Heavenly Emperor Dynasty, so he came to take a look," Lei Luo said truthfully.
However, he then said: "You have a map of Minan Prefecture here, and Lei can buy a pair of spirit stones for some spirit stones." ”
As soon as these words came out, the old man's face changed, and then his face showed a hint of hesitation, and he stopped talking.
"What's the matter with you, sir?" asked Lei Luo, sensing the old man's abnormality.
"I don't know where the seniors are going after taking the map, the little old man has a no-request, I hope the seniors can agree to one or two!" the old man immediately bowed.
But when the old man wanted to bow, a gentle force dragged him down, so the old man didn't really kneel down.
"What does the old man ask for, but it doesn't matter?" Lei Luo didn't mind, so he asked casually.
"It's not a secret, the younger generation is the patriarch in this village, after a few years, he has lived for a hundred and nine years, this son is living one day less than one day, the only thing I can't worry about is my grandson!"
After the old man finished speaking, he raised his hand and pointed to the room
The young man who was still asleep was obviously the grandson of the old man.
"So I hope that my seniors can take my grandchildren to the nearby Ghost Shadow City, and go to one of the juniors' old friends in the early years, with my grandson's qualifications, maybe there will be a chance to worship in the Kuzen Temple to learn this immortal method!"
"The younger generation does not have too many extravagant hopes, and I hope that my grandson can seek a good future, if I have a heart in the future, I can go home every few years to see my parents and fellow villagers, and the younger generation will not expect him to stay here for the rest of his life, after all, the world is big, and I also hope that my grandson can see how long he can see!"
When the old man said this, he took out a letter from his storage bag, and on it was some information from the old friend.
"Ghost Shadow City?" said Lei Luo with some surprise.
Because in his memory, Antong Prefecture is a barren land, and Minan Prefecture, which is further west than Antong Prefecture, should also belong to barren land.
This is not his subjective impression, but the Holy Heavenly Emperor Dynasty, including Tianning Prefecture, is a barren land, and under the rule of the Corpse God Sect, only the wasteland remains, and it is inaccessible.
And Minan Prefecture is under the rule of Huangquanmen, and has become a barren land inhabited by evil demons.
But when he heard the news, he felt that there seemed to be many mortals living in Minan Prefecture, which did not match the description he had heard before.
"Oh, I almost forgot, my predecessor just came to Minan Prefecture, and I am not familiar with the style here. Ghost Shadow City is one of the top three cities in the eastern county of Minan Prefecture, and there are many immortal sects in the vicinity of this city, and this dry Zen Temple is one of them," the old man explained.
After saying that, he took out a map of animal skins, and on the map was the location of his walled city, and there was a route facing west, and the end of the route was where the ghost shadow city was.
"The junior qualifications are inferior, and the cultivation is only in the realm of Qi cultivation, so I haven't been too far away, and I was fortunate enough to worship under the door of the Kuzen Temple and learned a few immortal methods, so this map can only be drawn to the area near the Ghost Shadow City. ”
Hearing the old man's explanation, Lei Luo nodded, and then raised his hand to grab the map in his hand.
"In that case, if it's just to escort a junior to the ghost shadow city marked on the map, it won't be difficult for Lei, and I agree to this matter!" he promised.
After hearing the promise of the master in front of him, the old man immediately bowed respectfully and thanked: "Thank you seniors, thank you seniors!"
The next morning.
When the boy woke up, he saw that there was an extra person in his house.
But before the boy could react, his grandfather pulled the boy up and told him a great news.
"Grandpa, can my grandson go to the Ghost Shadow City to learn the real immortal method?" the young man said happily.
"No, your qualifications are actually not low, it's just that there are no spiritual materials and elixirs for you here, and grandpa's cultivation is also incomplete, so there is no way to teach you well, but this is going to the Ghost Studios, you must work hard, and often go home in the future, and help the village!" the old man immediately advised.
"Grandson understands!" the young man looked delighted, and there was a hint of innocence in his eyes.
Lei Luo also saw the young man's heart, the other party lived in this remote city all the year round, and had been taught by his grandfather who loved him, and he had never been in contact with the intrigue of the immortal cultivation world, so his heart would be like this.
However, he didn't mean anything else, but under the expectation of the young man and the respect of the old man, he sacrificed a flying shuttle.
The mortals of the entire walled city appeared today, and they watched as an immortal master left the village with the grandson of the old clan in the town and went to the ghost shadow city, which was tens of thousands of miles away.
However, the children of their family only have envy in their eyes, but they know that they can't envy it, because only the grandchildren of the clan's hometown in the walled city have the qualifications to cultivate immortals, and they and others are not qualified to become immortal cultivators.
