Chapter 44: Eight Desolations and Nine Desperate Lands

In the mysterious cave, the old man kept urging the spell, wrapped the puppet in black gas and slowly rose, and a murderous smile appeared on his face. And his face has also become colorful because of the poisonous body, which makes him even more hideous and ugly.

"Li Yuefan, you will be my slave for the rest of your life!

Just when the old man was proud, the puppet suddenly emitted light, and it dispelled the surrounding black qi little by little.

"No! It can't be, how can it be? How could it be? Is there someone superior helping him? No—" The old man howled in pain!

After calming down, he said coldly: "Hmph! No matter who you are, dare to fight with me? I want you to die a good death! You can't die well-" Then he grabbed a set of poisonous snakes, bit off its head, and sprayed blood on the puppet......

The black gas skyrocketed, but it still couldn't suppress the light of the puppet!

"I'm angry! I'm angry!ah-"

The old man jumped angrily, bit the tip of his tongue violently, blood splashed on the palm, and then grabbed the puppet with both hands.

"Zi, Zi~~" The touch between the palm of the hand and the puppet kept vibrating.

......

The light does not diminish, and the black fog is gone!

"Peng—"

The puppet exploded, emitting a loud roar that catapulted the old man off the mountain wall. And the altars and so on turned to powder!

"Poof-" The old man spat out a mouthful of blood. This time it's no longer a spell to vomit blood, but a serious injury to the ground, weak convulsions!

"I ...... Li Yuefan, the old man is not finished with you, you wait, next time you will not be so lucky, and no one will be able to help you again!"

After the curse, all the poisonous insects around him poured up, gradually drowning the old man.

......

――――――――――――

In the past two days, the harmonious atmosphere of Yunnan has finally been restored. The streets are full of ordinary people and businessmen, and the joys, sorrows and sorrows on their faces show all kinds of life.

Since the major forces went in search of treasure, there are almost no people walking around here now. In their spare time, many small people often go to the teahouse to listen to books and drink tea, and they live a comfortable life.

At this time, the "Yunlai Teahouse" in the city was already full. Bored people gather together, and the noise is boiling......

"Brother Wang, I heard Mr. Nian say that the people of Miao Village had a conflict with those Jianghu forces, and the two sides made a big move, and I don't know what the situation is now?"

"Hey! That's an old man's exaggeration. How can those people in Miao Village be the opponents of the Jianghu forces?"

"Oh, what about then?"

"The two sides only sent people to compete three times, and in the end, the Miao people lost all three games......

"Didn't you say that the Miao people's 'Gu technique' was very powerful? Why didn't you even win a game. ”

"I don't know. ”

"Hey!"

......

"Smack!"

Looking at the past, in front of the entrance of the building, an old man in a cotton cloth battle cube table, arched his hand and said with a smile: "Everyone is objective, today the old man is here to talk about books, those who have money hold a money field, and those who have no money ...... If you don't have money, you can reward a few melon seeds. I am here to wish you all great fortune, a prosperous New Year, and all the best...... There are so many red envelopes that I can't fit in, and I throw them all in my pocket. Hey, hey!"

"Coax-" The crowd burst into laughter and laughter.

"Good!"

"Well said!"

"What are you talking about, old man?"

"By the way, those people from the rivers and lakes went to hunt for treasures, how is the situation now?"

"Yes, yes!"

......

"Smack!" There was another scream, and the audience was silent.

The old man said in a strange voice: "Hehe, you guys are really well-informed, and I just got some news today...... Well, since you want to listen, then I will speak! However, you will have to pay for the tea. ”

"Hehe-" The crowd was happy again, and applauded continuously.

"Well, I'll talk about the situation first. The old man took a sip of tea and said: "Now the division of forces in treasure hunting is very clear, and the six sects of the underworld, the Wulin League and the world will be independent because of their strong forces. The Nine Great Sects have always been in the same spirit, so there is nothing to say......

Among the rest of the big forces, the four great families are on one side, and the Divine Sword Villa, Qingyun City and the Beggar Gang are united, and their power cannot be underestimated. On the contrary, the newly rising brotherhood does not form gangs or factions, and is on its own...... By the way, it is worth mentioning several young masters such as Qingtian's little monk and Quanqing's little girl. Although they are not a single force, they are very strong in personal strength......

A few days ago, there was a conflict between the major forces in the rivers and lakes and the people of the Miao people, and the two sides fought three battles, and the battle was dark, and the sun and moon were dark......"

The old man's mouth was like a river, and the foam in his mouth was flying, and everyone was stunned!

At the end of the sentence, a voice suddenly came out and said: "Didn't you say that there were just three ordinary competitions? Why did you say that it was like a river of blood and corpses all over the field?"

"Uh! this ......" The old man was stunned for a moment, and smiled awkwardly: "Isn't it to be more exciting, to ask for a lot of rewards?"

"Grandma's! Throw him—" The group looked disdainful and made an indecent gesture.

......

"Okay, good! Lao Er will definitely seek truth from facts, be diligent, and work hard...... "The old man wiped the sweat on his forehead, and continued: "After the competition, although the forces in the rivers and lakes won all, the Miao people put forward other requirements. ”

"And what requirements!" said a sentence in the audience, asking everyone's thoughts, and they all looked at the front curiously.

The old man was satisfied: "The patriarch of the Miao tribe said that the 'Ghost Mound' is their forbidden place, so they must go together, otherwise they will step on their corpses. Later, for the sake of unnecessary trouble, the alliance leader Guan Moyun and the others agreed. ”

"Oh! I see. Suddenly, everyone asked, "What about later?"

"All the people had already set out last night, and word came that nearly a thousand people in the rivers and lakes who were looking for the way had died. ”

"Huh

"yes, don't they have a roadmap?"

The old man replied, "It's good to have a road map, and it's true." It's just that there are too many people fighting openly and secretly along the way, and if you are not careful, you will fall into a dead place. Where is there a place like 'Onizuka' that is absolutely safe...... Besides, in the eyes of various forces, they are just asking for the way, where to care about anything else. ”

"So many people died before they even saw the treasure, and the competition was fierce. ”

"That's not it!"

The old man took a sip of tea and began to talk again.

......

――――――――――――

The land of "Oni Mound" is full of dangers, and even if there is a treasure hunt map, there is no guarantee that it is absolutely safe to travel here. All the way through the jungle swamp, living creatures are very rare, but there are many dead wood bones abandoned in the mess, worthy of a place of death!

After rushing overnight, the major forces have now arrived in the hinterland of the "Ghost Mound", and there are more than 40,000 people in the rivers and lakes who followed, and the casualties are not heavy.

The group marched mightily into a dead valley, surrounded by mountains and cliffs, where there was still a way forward.

In front of the team, Guan Moyun and the leaders of the major forces took out the 'Musashi map' for a while. But this is the place that the map refers to, so why is there no road? Is this 'Musashi map' fake?

The crowd quickly denied the idea! First, they didn't want to admit that it was fake, after all, too many people had died and too much blood had been shed for this 'Musashi map'! Second, this route did allow them to avoid many dangers and get here safely.

There was no way to do it, so everyone had to look around in the valley to see if there were any hidden ways or the like.

......

To the south of the valley, more than 100 members of the Brotherhood searched for a long time, but still found nothing. While resting, Dongyu couldn't help but turn his eyes to Bujie and Fang Han, and found that they were walking around with a compass, pinching their hands.

After a while, I saw that my face was pale and I looked like I had lost my soul and had no owner.

Curious, Dongyu stepped forward and asked, "Sir, what's wrong with you?"

Fang Han also looked at his master inexplicably.

"Providence! Providence...... I actually ran into it, oh my God!" After a while of nonsense, he asked rhetorically: "Master, have you heard of the Eight Methods of Qimen?" Do you believe in the art of Qimen?"

Dongyu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "I believe it! Although I don't know the art of Qimen, I have also heard of the "Eight Methods of Qimen": peeping into the sky, the main array, arithmetic, transport, fortune measurement, acupoint exploration, mathematics, and divine fighting. I don't know if it?"

"Yes! Bujie praised and said, "But it's hard to believe that a wise person like you would believe in these ethereal things." ”

"Thaumaturgy is also a science, otherwise how could it have been passed down to this day. Dong Yu smiled and said: "And my attitude has always been like this, I would rather believe it than believe it." ”

Most people in the world think that these are deceptions, but they do not know that the world is wonderful, and how can the laity see the mystery of it. There was disdain for the world in his tone, and then he pointed to the surrounding mountains and said: "Look at these mountains, there are nine connected by the ring, and there is no lifeless air around them...... There is a song in the method of exploring the cave: surrounded by mountains and nine connected, the dry land in all directions is dangerous......"

After a pause, he said with a solemn face: "This is the 'Eight Desolations and Nine Jedi' known as 'Jedi'!"

"Eight Desolations and Nine Absolute Lands!?" Dong Yu was stunned, just hearing the name, he knew the danger of this place, and hurriedly asked: "Please also ask Mr. for guidance, what is the 'Eight Desolations and Nine Absolute Lands'?"

"The 'Eight Wildernesses' are the east, west, south, north, northeast, southwest, northwest, and southeast directions. The 'Nine Uniques' is the main array of the Nine Palaces, the heavens and the earth are unique, dangerous and strange...... Legend has it that in ancient times, evil spirits must have been suppressed within this naturally formed Jedi. Bu Qu looked at the people around him, and said bitterly: "It seems that this time it is more auspicious!"

Dongyu was about to ask questions, but was interrupted by an abrupt voice.

"Hey, look, isn't that the last time I met that fortune teller?"

......
