Chapter 37: The Swamp of Death
The vast land of Shenzhou is vast and vast, among which the Central Plains is naturally the richest. Outside the Central Plains, the north is the bitter cold ice field of the extreme north, which is inaccessible to people; the east is the vast and boundless sea; as for the south, there are 100,000 mountains outside the Central Plains, towering on the border, endless, where the barren mountains and bad waters, the miasma and poison are innumerable, and the legend is that there are strange and strange wild barbarians, who drink blood and are extremely ferocious.
And to the west of the vast land of China, there are two fierce places. In the northwest direction, is the endless desolate Gobi, the world calls it "the wild land", its hundreds of years without rain, the climate is extremely dry, occasionally a little oasis, but also mostly occupied by fierce beasts and fierce things, naturally ordinary people enter is a dead end. And it is rumored that in the depths of the wilderness, there is a grand temple, which is the birthplace of the Demon Sect.
As for the southwest, it is the great swamp of death that the world talks about changing color. The climate here is diametrically opposed to the wilderness of the northwest, where it rains seven or eight out of ten days of the year, and all kinds of exotic plants grow luxuriantly. This cold and damp place has always been the place where the world's great poisonous beasts and poisonous insects live, and the unique and highly toxic biogas here rises from the rotten soil in the swamp every rainy day. In addition, the bodies of animals, trees and flowers that have been soaked and rotted by rain for thousands of years have turned this place into a dangerous place, and if you accidentally take a wrong step, you will be sucked into the bottomless swamp, never see the light of day, and die miserably.
In such a dangerous place, no one will come on weekdays. But not long ago, there were rumors in the world. Within the Western Death Swamp, a huge pillar of golden light suddenly rose. Soar into the sky, day and night. Even in the middle of the night, the sky shines as brightly as day. After three days, the golden light gradually dissipated, and from then on, there always seemed to be a loud roar in the Death Swamp, faintly heard, making those who lived on the edge of the Death Swamp terrified.
Once the news spreads. It was a sensation all over the world. From the perspective of a cultivator, spiritual artifacts have always had their own spirituality, and such a huge golden light is naturally a precursor to the birth of rare treasures, summoning destined people to go. And judging from this golden pillar of light, the magic of this strange treasure is really extraordinary, and the world shook for a while. Masters of good and evil have gathered.
And under the chaos on the surface, there is an unknown undercurrent, turbulent flowing.
To the east, half a day's journey from the Death Swamp, there is a desolate and withered village. It is called "Dawang Village" because the villagers believe in a mysterious deity called "Dawang". It's just that this god has never been very effective, and he does not bless the villagers here to be promoted and rich. nor does it bless them with abundant grains and worry-free food and clothing.
Actually, think about it. Living on the edge of such a death swamp, every now and then a monster suddenly sprang out of nowhere. Or a poisonous insect runs out and bites and kills domestic animals, and there are not a few people who die on it every year. Now the people who have some ability have already left this ghost place and gone to the Central Plains, and most of the people who stay here are also lifeless people.
But in the past few days, Dawang Murakami suddenly became lively, and the people who came and went were all masters of cultivation. Although Dawang Village is not the only entrance to the Death Swamp, it is the closest inhabited place to the Death Swamp, and before entering the Death Swamp, most people will come here to buy some dry food and water.
At the same time, because this is the closest place to the Death Swamp, the golden pillars of light and strange whistling sounds in the Death Swamp were also the first to be discovered by the villagers here, and they spread from there, so many people also came here to inquire about the news.
It's just that after there are more people, there are naturally good and evil, and after a few days, in the small place of Dawang Village, I don't know how many fights have happened, and some unlucky guys have died here inexplicably before they have entered the swamp of death, which is really wronged.
However, dying in this era is not necessarily unjust.
Since the end of the Qingyunmen station, the world has become more lively, and since ten years ago, Qingyunmen Qingyun has been robbed, although it is still the first major faction of the righteous path, more than half of the elders have been killed and injured, and the real strength has been greatly damaged, but the prestige of the Incense Valley and Tianyin Temple has grown, and it is faintly full of three. But the tiger died and Yu Wei was there, after seeing the divine power of Zhu Xian, even if it was rumored that Dao Xuan Zhenren only had one breath left, everything in Qingyun Sect had his own qi to be taken care of by his disciple Xiao Yicai, but after all, no one dared to try the sword with his body.
As for the Demon Gate, the four major factions no longer showed their ambition to unify the Demon Gate, and began a series of infighting, clearing the field, and the four major factions began to kill or merge other small factions of the Demon Gate, which has become a parallel trend of the four major factions, and the next step is probably the battle between the four major factions.
The only exception is the Blood Refining Hall, since the first stop of Qingyunmen, the Blood Refining Hall advocates that Xiao Yin is known as "the strongest person in the world", and how many people dare to pull out the tiger's whiskers?
It's just that in the past ten years, although Zhang Xiao has never appeared again, some people speculate that since the battle of Qingyunmen, the blood refining hall has also been hit hard, and I am afraid that it will not be long before he is killed, just like the head of Qingyunmen after that battle, there is only one breath left.
But Zhang Xiao Yuwei is still there, the four major factions of the Demon Dao are afraid of Zhang Xiao's shocking strength, and they dare not test too much, and since the first stop in Qingyunmen, there is another deputy hall master in the Blood Refining Hall, whose strength is unfathomable, even the strong men of the older generation of the Demon Dao are not his opponents, in a demon gate infighting, he shot against the bloodsucking ancestor of the Ten Thousand Poison Gate, although he actually won the battle, and even ruined the bloodsucking ancestor's magic weapon of fame, the blood skeleton. Some people suspect that this deputy hall master of the Blood Refining Hall, his strength may be comparable to the Qinglong Holy Envoy after the four protectors of the Ghost King Sect, so the four major factions of the Demon Gate dare not provoke, and the small factions cannot afford to provoke, so the Blood Refining Hall has "survived" so far.
Of course, in the eyes of some people, the Blood Refining Hall is just putting away its fangs and hiding in the dark, over the years, not only the old people of the Blood Refining Hall, such as the old boss, Lin Feng and others, have grown by leaps and bounds, but also some new people in the Demon Dao, such as Killing Monk, Yan Hui and others, have also gathered under the door of the Blood Refining Hall, so although the Blood Refining Hall has never taken the initiative to attack other small factions and has not expanded its power at all, it still makes people feel frightened.
And this time, after the mutation in the Death Swamp, the Blood Refining Hall, which was originally thunderous, actually poured out, not only dispatching the mysterious deputy hall master of the Blood Refining Hall, but even Zhang Xiao, who was rumored to have been recuperating from injuries, and Zhang Xiao, who was known as the strongest person in the world.
Qingyun Gate, Tianyin Temple, Incense Valley, Ghost King Sect, Ten Thousand Poison Gate, Hehuan Sect, Changshengtang, and several of the largest forces in the world have come to the Death Swamp, making the originally silent Death Swamp become boiling and the wind and clouds are moving.
