Northern Regions

After leaving the Wulahan Market, the three of Qin Fake Immortals, Half-Camel Waste, and Shadow Corpse walked the rivers and lakes, going to those deep mountains and old forests to find the traces of the thousand-year-old king.

In the outer villages of these deep mountains and old forests, there is always a special profession called ginseng! Precious medicinal materials such as ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum always grow in the inaccessible and dangerous places in the mountains and forests, and if the medicine merchants want to collect these precious medicinal materials and control the cost of collection, they will directly buy them from the hands of the mountain people.

It is under this demand that visitors came into being!

If you ask where there are precious medicinal materials such as ginseng in the deep mountains, and where there are precious medicinal materials such as ginseng and zhi, the clearest thing is not those medicine dealers, but visitors from all over the world.

Qin Fake Immortal also understood this truth, so he specially inquired about the residences of several visitors and asked them where they could find a ginseng king who was old enough.

In the end, a unified answer was obtained, Thorn Ridge.

On the thorn ridge in the northern region, the cliffs are steep, the terrain is complex and dangerous, the mountains are full of thorns, stretching to form a large thorn forest, and ordinary people cannot pass through the thorn road at all. There was once a skilled warrior who picked a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum from the mountain to save people, which made Thorn Ridge enter the eyes of all visitors, but ordinary visitors did not have the strength to pass through the Thorn Road, so after a long time, the role of Thorn Ridge is no longer to produce medicine, but to test the strength, as long as anyone can pick a medicine ginseng or Ganoderma lucidum from Thorn Ridge, there will be a pharmacist who spends a lot of money to hire and become a full-time medicine picker under the command of the pharmacist, instead of living a life without a fixed place as before.

Following the instructions of the visitor, the three of Qin Fake Immortals came to the foot of the Thorn Ridge.

The scene on the mountain road is indeed as those visitors say, the ground is full of thorns, and there is nowhere to put your feet.

"Qin Fake Immortal, it's up to you next!" Half-hump looked at the mountain road and said to Qin Fake Immortal.

"Look at me, see what I do?" Qin Fake Immortal was puzzled.

"Boss, he should have said to let you open the way!" the Shadow Corpse Man said secretly in Qin Fake Immortal's ear.

"The most famous thing in the Hanging Pot Medical Hall is the Five Elements Technique, now this thorn forest, the feet are soil, the ground is wood, to go up the mountain in addition to the ability to climb the top light skills of the waves, the second way is to destroy these thorns, but if you use strong means to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, it is inevitable to destroy the environment and landform of the Thorn Ridge!

"Aha! It's finally time for this saint and immortal to show off my skills!" Hearing that he was urgently needed again, Qin Fake Immortal stepped forward, crossed his hands on his hips, and looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Okay, okay, boss, it's time to act!" said the Shadow Corpse Man behind Qin Fake Immortal, gently pushing his waist and eyes.

Qin Fake Immortal, who came back to his senses, made a full posture, and finally stood with his palms facing his chest, and a colorful sword order appeared out of thin air.

The sword order was grabbed by Qin Fake Immortal in his hand, and when he landed, the green mangs jumped up, infecting the surroundings, and all the plants seemed to be nourished by the gods and began to grow rapidly, and became more lush.

Qin Fake Immortal held his sword to open the way in front, and wherever he passed, whether it was the weeds on the ground, the thorns that were entangled, or the trees that were currently growing, they all automatically turned to the side, making way for the three of them to pass.

The half-hump and the shadow corpse man followed behind Qin Fake Immortal, although the former looked left and right, his eyes were full of surprise, but there was no other expression on his face, he was still calm, while the shadow corpse man behind was completely indifferent to any image shouting, and even stretched out his hand to pat and drag.

After the three of them had walked by, all the environment had returned to its original state, and if it weren't for the plants that were still more luxuriant, nothing else would have changed.

The three of them walked unhindered along the way, and after passing through the thorn forest, they finally found an empty place to stay, Qin Fake Immortal put away the sword order in his hand at once, and directly lay down on the ground to gasp, from the foot of the mountain to find this clearing, the time experienced in the middle was close to four hours!

At the very beginning, Qin Fake Immortal relied on the sword order to be like a fish in water in the jungle, and he got a little carried away when he acted, and he didn't pay attention to finding a place to rest at all, just blindly searching.

But he forgot that even if he wanted to use the Five Elements Sword Order, he needed to exercise his own strength, so Qin Fake Immortal, who had been walking through the mountains for three hours, finally began to panic, feeling that there was not much left in his body, and it was still gradually decreasing steadily, Qin Fake Immortal finally thought of the need for a much-needed resting place.

It's just that in the place where the mountains are high and densely forested, the more panicked and anxious they are, the more they can't seriously distinguish the direction and location, and finally after spending nearly an hour, the three of them found such an empty place.

As soon as the tight string was loosened, Qin Fake Immortal was lying on the ground in an instant, and the half-camel waste was calmly inspecting around the clearing to confirm the environment, but the shadow corpse man was supporting his thighs with both hands, looking so tired that he stuck out his tongue, and said complaining words.

"Boss, if you walk around in the mountains like this, even if you are tired to death, you won't be able to find the thousand-year-old Sam King. The Shadow Corpse said.

Qin Fake Immortal, who was lying on the ground, was also weak, and did not respond to the words of the Shadow Corpse Man, but looked at the half-humpled waste on the side and asked, "What should I do next?" Thorn Ridge is so big, if there is no special way to shoot the goal, it is really difficult to find those things buried in the ground!"

"Look for it from above!" replied the half-hump without a moment's hesitation.

"What! Why didn't you say it before?" Hearing that the half-camel waste gave such a direct answer, Qin Fake Immortal was so surprised that he sat up and directly questioned the half-camel waste.

"Because the crippled have to determine the topography of this thorn ridge and survey the leylines, only when the leylines meet certain requirements, will there be a thousand-year-old king!" said the half-camel waste.

"And now?" Qin Fake Immortal asked curiously.

"It has been determined that the dragon head of Thorn Ridge, that is, the place where the leylines converge, is the mountain over there!" the half-hump pointed to the other side, and from his position, he could barely see the small half-section of the mountain that was pointing to in the jungle, and it was not too close!

Qin Fake Immortal and Shadow Corpse Man, who came to the side of the half-camel waste, sat directly on the ground again in desperation.

"If you want to go over, let me rest first! The road near that side has been walked before, and the scope of the Thorn Forest is definitely not small!" Qin Fake Immortal said.

The other side

The rugged passers-by wanted to inquire about the location of Qin Fake Immortal and the half-camel waste, after a period of painstaking search to no avail, but they heard another thing, there is a special place called Jushu Rock on Taihuang Mountain, there is a huge stone book made directly from the mountain on Jushu Rock, each page weighs more than 10,000 catties, in this huge book is sealed about the rivers and lakes from ancient times to the present eighteen kinds of divine weapons that can be called divine weapons, as long as the people on the rivers and lakes who think they have the ability can go to have a try!

As long as you can withstand the 10,000 catties of stone books, you can get the detailed information of the artifact displayed on the current page from the mouth of the owner of the giant book rock, and even, as long as you can complete the conditions proposed by the owner of the giant book rock, you can take any existing artifact from the giant book rock!

The rugged passerby, who got the news, changed the course again.

"If you can't find half of the hump for the time being, let's go to the Giant Book Rock first to see this stone book that claims to contain eighteen kinds of artifacts from the past and present! The dry leaf foundation is extraordinary, and the maple leaf sword behind him is definitely not ordinary, I hope this stone book includes the maple leaf sword!" The rugged passerby muttered, "Taihuang Mountain? I wonder if the owner of this giant book rock is Taihuang Jun? If it is really Taihuang Jun, then what is the purpose of his establishment of the giant book rock?" Each page of the stone book weighs 10,000 catties, and if you want to see the rumored eighteen kinds of ancient and modern artifacts, you must at least turn the stone book to see the content of the first page!"

"Is it a test of the foundation? The name of Jushuyan has been spread in the rivers and lakes for decades, could it be that he has already begun to plan the battle between the Demon Dragon and the Heavenly Tiger decades ago? As long as he completes his conditions, he can get the information of the artifact, and even the artifact itself! This is completely a practice of buying people's hearts! Regardless of whether the owner of the Giant Book Rock is Taihuang Jun or not, it seems that the Giant Book Rock of Taihuang Mountain must be visited!"

The other side

After negotiating with the Qi passers-by, Tongyao Chi did not return to the Silkworm Palace to order the delivery of lion silkworm saliva, but went directly to the north and came to a place called Ice and Snow Rock.

On the ice and snow rocks, the ice and snow are flying in the sky, and the earth is covered in silver, only extremely cold and cold.

In the midst of the snow, a snow-covered hut was isolated, and the smoke of the cooking stove rose with heat, barely able to dissolve the little bit of ice and snow in the snow.

After seeing the house in the ice and snow, Tong Yaochi accelerated his pace, came to the door of the hut, and knocked on the door of this long-lost door.

"Mother, Yao'er is back!" Tong Yaochi called out in front of the door.

After a brief silence, the door in front of Tong Yao Chi opened, and an old woman in a fur coat stood in front of her with a cane.

The old man in the room looked at the familiar face in front of him, and the old woman had tears in her eyes, and stretched out a hand to slowly caress the other person's cheek.

"Mother, Yao'er has come back to see you!" Tong Yaochi said again.

"It's good to come back! It's good to come back! It's snowing outside the house, hurry into the house and sit down, and drink a bowl of hot soup to warm up!" The old woman hurriedly grabbed Tong Yaochi's wrist and dragged it, afraid that the person would disappear in a blink of an eye.

When Tong Yaochi sat down at the table and drank the soup with a steaming soup bowl, the old woman smiled with relief and said, "Today is really a good day! The withered leaves came back not long ago, and now you are back too! As long as I can see you two healthy and complete in front of me, I will wake up laughing even if I fall asleep!"

"Is the withered leaves back? is he really back?" Tong Yaochi listened to his mother mention the withered leaves, and hurriedly put down the soup bowl and asked again and again in surprise.

"Hahaha! the little girl is really not ashamed!" the old woman teased at Tong Yaochi's forehead, "But if you two can do good things and get married, then the old woman and I will be willing to die immediately!"

"Slap in the mouth! How can a mother say such unpleasant things?" said Tong Yaochi, gently covering the old woman's mouth like a little girl.

"Ha!" the old woman just looked at Tong Yao Chi and smiled, and after seeing that Tong Yao Chi really couldn't stand it, she diverted her attention and asked about the dead leaves.

"The withered leaves didn't come back long before you, saying that they were going out to hunt and add some flavor, and they have been out for a while, and it shouldn't be long before they can come back!" the old woman replied, and then took Tong Yaochi's hand and stroked it and said, "Where can you not see your mind as a mother? I know that you really like withered leaves! But you are too strong, and you have single-handedly established the Divine Silkworm Palace, and you are powerful on the side! And most of your thoughts are placed on the Divine Silkworm Palace!"

"If you put a little more effort into him and do what a woman should do, maybe he won't be as alienated from you as he is now! Moreover, he is a man after all, and you, as the head of the first house, are too sharp, and there are few men in the world who can endure the foundation built by the women around him far more than himself! You should try to restrain yourself!" said the old woman earnestly.

For his mother's words, Tong Yaochi just listened quietly, and when he heard the last point, Tong Yaochi finally couldn't help it, or didn't want to continue to endure it, and said softly: "Maybe in the future, I can really be a little woman as my mother wishes, and maybe I can teach my husband and children quietly at home!"

The daughter's sigh contained so many emotions that the old woman's heart was shocked, and she felt a bad premonition, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"My daughter's Divine Silkworm Palace has suffered from crises recently, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's not far from extinction!" Tong Yaochi said as he hid his face and wept.

"What the hell is going on?" the old woman suddenly asked with a sense of authority, and she was taken aback by the secret momentum that connected Yao Chi.

"It's all the problem of the Thirteen Temples and the Demon Domain! Forget it, my mother is no longer a person in the rivers and lakes, so don't worry about these idle things! My daughter wants to relax when she comes back today, and my mother doesn't want to mention these things!" Tong Yaochi said weakly, as if at this moment, she was no longer the Empress of the Hundred Dynasties on the Weiling side, just an ordinary woman who had been away from home for too long.

"Can you take this opportunity to withdraw from the rivers and lakes?As long as you are willing to give up your Divine Silkworm Palace and stay by the side of the withered leaves, A-Niang promises that you will definitely come together in the end!" the old woman looked at Tong Yao Chi with a hint of expectation.

"No! my daughter is unwilling!" Tong Yaochi said simply and firmly.

Hearing this answer, the old woman did not speak again immediately, but sat aside thinking about something, and finally asked tentatively, "If the withered leaves can help you, will you be able to survive this difficulty?"

"Withered leaves?" Tong Yaochi first looked at his mother in surprise, but in the blink of an eye, he lowered again, "Withered leaves are impossible!

"You don't care about this! you just have to say that if the withered leaves help you, can you get through the difficult time?" the old woman waved her hand and showed her parental demeanor as a mother.

"I'm not sure about this matter!, but with the help of the withered leaves, there will definitely be no problem on the Thirteen Temples, but the Demon Domain is still unknown!" Tong Yaochi said uncertainly.

"Wei Niang knows that you have a strong personality, and it is definitely impossible for you to give up the foundation of the Silkworm Palace like this, but the bloody Wei Niang on the rivers and lakes has already seen it, and the mother doesn't want you to become like that, since you are not willing to retreat, then let Ah Niang help you as much as she can!" said the old woman.
