Chapter 6: The Four Forbidden Lands

There are several peerless forbidden places on this land, which are distributed along the four edges of the east, west, north and south, and because of this, almost no one passes through these places, and the population is even more sparse, unless they are deliberately there. There is no way to know the formation and origin of these four forbidden places, and it is possible that when they existed, people did not have them.

If it is calculated according to the degree of danger, the first should be the Soul Swamp, located in the south, this place is called the swamp, in fact, it is a world of magma flames, the rolling fire and poisonous gas from the cracks in the ground, permeating the heaven and earth, the ground is as black as carbon, the sky is perennially covered with poisonous clouds, and the humidity and rain in the south make the poisonous clouds accumulate thicker and thicker.

Such extreme dampness, heat, and fire poison will give rise to the miasma of the soul over time. If one inhales some fire poison, or the miasma of the soul, the spirit must be damaged, the mind will be damaged, and even the soul must be left here, and the vision is limited to ten steps, and the surroundings are foggy, and it is very easy to lose one's way, and if one cannot escape within one breath, the consequences can be imagined. Legend has it that the Soul Swamp has a treasure called the Awakening Fruit, the Awakening Soul of Food. It is difficult to find a specific record of this object, and because it is too dangerous, there are few people who set foot on it.

The second is the sea of sandstorms, sand pits, sand whirlpools, etc., which are extremely dangerous in the summer. One moment the sun was bright and the blue sky was blue, and the next moment the sand and rocks were flying, covering the sky and the sun, leaving no room for life for the living beings.

But although this place is dangerous, there are still many people who go, just to find the mulberry tree, and this kind of tree, only exists in one of the five major sects of today, there is a record that the founder of the sect Si Jiuyin once got a piece of mulberry wood made of a lyre, its sound can devour the soul, kill people invisibly, for a while, created the Jiuyin Pavilion, this record is a thousand years ago, the seven-stringed piano made of mulberry wood is also missing.

From then on, many people in Jiuyin Pavilion went to the sea of mulberry and sand, and they all wanted to continue the glory of their ancestors, but after all, they never found the mulberry tree. Legend has it that the mulberry wood is stronger than the gold and stone, which can confuse people's minds, and it is true and even treasured.

Then there is the Ice Valley, which goes up from the north, I don't know how to spread thousands of miles, the iceberg is towering like a cloud, erected sharply, not to mention the cold of the drop of water into ice, the most terrifying is the sudden ice rain on the iceberg, the raindrops are like needles, extremely hard, can directly pierce the defense of the true qi, take people's lives.

And this ice rain is under control, as long as there are creatures breaking into the valley, it will come endlessly, until the intruder loses the last trace of life, turns into ice, and becomes a part of the ice valley, even the gods can hardly resist.

In this way, it must be more dangerous than the sea of sand and the third place because there is one creature that can enter and leave it without fear of the attack of icicles, and that is the ice fox. Ice foxes are snow-white, the biggest difference with ordinary foxes is that they have a pair of ice crystal-like eyes, and they don't know what they feed on, and as long as they can catch an ice fox with them, they don't have to worry about ice pick attacks, but ice foxes are fierce by nature and free and uninhibited, as long as they are caught, they will try their best to commit suicide. It is conceivable that if the ice fox that was finally caught in the ice valley succeeded in committing suicide, then the ice rain would end the life of the trespasser with several times the intensity.

It is recorded that the Ice Valley also has its own treasure, the Xuan Ice Crystal, and I don't know what it can be used for, just because no one has ever obtained it.

Finally, there is the Sealed Beast Wasteland far away in the east, where the water and grass are abundant, the four seasons are like spring, the mountains are verdant, and the original natural place is the power of all parties to grab it, even if it is a blessing in life to live in seclusion.

It's a pity that contrary to this majestic and beautiful environment, the inhabitants here are countless fierce beasts. There was once a sect that wanted to take a piece of land for its own, first drove away the small beasts on the periphery of the wasteland, and then came more ferocious beasts, every time they drove a wave, there would be more ferocious beasts coming, and finally the entire sect was exhausted, and the whole army was wiped out, as if as long as someone offended the wasteland, it would attract the infinite attacks of the beasts, and each time it was stronger than the other, until now no one knows what the most powerful beast is, and its fierce name is naturally more and more popular, until finally no one dares to set foot easily.

Nowadays, there is also a sect built according to the Sealed Beast Wasteland, and that is the Jiuyin Pavilion. Although they did not dare to go deep into the wasteland, they were safe. As for the reason for its proximity to the wasteland, no one knows.

But then again, if you're lucky, you might go in and walk around, and not a single beast will come out and make things difficult for you.

And the destination of the young man in black is the Soul Swamp, one of the four forbidden places, he has grown up with his master in the Soul Swamp since he was a child, some people may be puzzled, how can he live for a long time without incident?

After he hurriedly said goodbye to his uncle Xu Nanshan, he put the big yellow horse that originally pulled the carriage on the saddle and rode lightly.

However, when he raised his whip and went south, on the top of the waterfall, a vaguely discernible figure suddenly fell forward, turned into a white shadow, and disappeared without a trace.

I have to say that this big yellow horse is really a treasure horse, and it is much faster than the young man in black who performs light skills and rushes away. It could also be that he was in a hurry, and he was already at the edge of the Soul Swamp in a few days.

There is a river around the front of the swamp, the river is not very wide, and it is not very difficult to fly through it with his light cultivation, but the river water is boiling hot on the side near the Soul Swamp, and if you stumble, you will definitely be boiled into soup, so you have to be very careful.

The young man in black hurriedly tied his horse, and then crossed the river with light feats. After crossing the river, taking advantage of the thin poisonous gas, he quickly held his breath, and then pulled out his legs and swept towards the smoky miasma of the soul swamp.

"Hey, someone?" he suddenly felt as if someone was following him, but he didn't pay attention to it, because he had walked this road many times, and the black fog was getting thicker and thicker, how easy it was to get rid of the person who was following him.

However, what he didn't expect was that the tracking behind him was not only not thrown off, but was like a maggot on the tarsal bones, clinging closely behind the young man in black, until the young man in black stood under a cliff and suddenly performed a strange light skill, clinging to the cliff, breaking through the fog, and disappearing. The latter froze, looked up, and finally shook his head and left.

It's no wonder that this person will leave, if he performs a large consumption of light exercises in such a poisonous mist, he will inevitably be weak, and he doesn't know how high this cliff is, if he inhales some poisonous gas, it will be a bit tricky. But he was also very curious, how could this young man in black be desperate to use all his internal strength to perform light skills, in his opinion, this is no different from suicide.

Indeed, the moment the black-clothed young man used all his strength to fly to the top of the cliff, he immediately sat down on the ground, panting heavily.

The strange thing is that there is no trace of poisonous gas here and now, looking around, there are black clouds rolling around, only this place jumps on the clouds, like a green island in the Black Sea, the grass is green, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the air is fresh, which is also the reason why he dared to use the cloud climbing technique just now, exhausting the internal strength of the whole body, and it can also explain why their master and apprentice have lived in the Soul Swamp for a long time but are safe.

After the black-clothed young man took a breath, he finally regained a little strength. Even he really couldn't understand why Master had put his home here, so that he was exhausted every time he came back. But this time he didn't have time to breathe, and shuffled to a grass hut.

As he walked, he shouted, "Master, I'm back." ”
