Source City, small and old, is more of a slightly larger town than a small town. No one can remember when it was built, and the reddish-brown city is full of traces of the passage of time, and there are many cracks.

Ye Fan walked in the city, feeling the antiquity of the years and the passage of time, the stone slabs on the street were sunken by stepping on, and there were monks coming and going.

"This little brother, it's the first time you have arrived in Source City, do you want to purchase source stones, come into our Shixuan and have a look, there are strange stones you like."

"Does the little Taoist need the good materials transported from the edge of the Taichu Ancient Mine, it is genuine, you might as well come in and take a look. ”

There are many shops on both sides of the street, selling all kinds of source stones, and they warmly greet the monks who come and go. Ye Fan didn't dare to despise these people, don't look at the small shops, but they all have a very good background and are inextricably linked with the major holy places. He walked into a stone shop, and there was a casual chat with the shopkeeper, and the price of stone here was ridiculously expensive.

The stone is not big, but it is a room, facing the street, and there is only one rosewood frame in the store, on which only a dozen stones are placed. Ye Fan was staggered, the value of these stones was ten grids and the same weight of the source.

"It's too expensive!"

"These are not mortal stones, they are treasures to be sent to the Holy City, tainted with the primordial immortal energy. Introduced by the owner. is so expensive, the gambling is no longer the source, but the more precious things sealed in the stone, after Ye Fan comprehended the "Book of Yuantian", his eyesight was extraordinary, and he only obeyed a piece of material, and then he stopped shooting.

The gains and losses of gambling stones here outweigh the losses, and things more precious than the source are hard to find, how can he see them at will, the reason why he made a move was just to make a friendship with the shopkeeper.

"Brother, is there any way, I want to go to the Taichu Ancient Mine to have a look. "He wanted to go to the Taichu Ancient Mine, but he ran into trouble.

The mining areas outside the Taichu Ancient Mine have been divided among the major holy lands, and other places are okay, but the areas near the forbidden land of life are difficult for outsiders to pass through.

Ye Fan is not a descendant of the Holy Land, if there is no other way, with his scattered cultivation, he will not be able to pass through those regions at all.

"I said, little brother, that place is never to be visited, and even the major holy lords can't make a splash after entering. Shi Zhai's master persuaded.

Ye Fan smiled and said, "I'm not going to die, I just want to watch from afar, and it's a pity that I can't see the name of Taichu for a long time." ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "I fully understand, there are often young people like you who want to watch from afar, but in the end they always can't control themselves, such as being summoned by the demon lord and walking into the depths of the forbidden area, many people will disappear every year." ”

"In this way, is there a way to go to Taichu?" Ye Fan's eyes lit up.

"Little Daoist, I advise you not to take risks, curiosity can really kill people. "The owner of Shi Zhai kindly persuaded him.

"Please also ask my brother to help, I know the severity. Ye Fan insisted on going.

"In that case, you go to find a person with an old knife handle, but the price is expensive, and it is very pitiful

Person. The shopkeeper provided Ye Fan with such information. Later, he wandered around the stone city and learned who this old knife handle was.

This is an old land snake, of course, not a gangster among mortals, but a hob meat among monks, who has a wide range of contacts in this area, and takes over all kinds of business, such as escorting source stones, etc., and even assassination.

The old knife handle lives in Nancheng District, but it is only five low blue-tiled houses, which look dilapidated.

He doesn't have the demeanor of an old snake at all, just like an old farmer with a full face of wrinkles and rough calluses on his hands, squatting on the ground, smoking a dry tobacco pouch, and he can't see the depth of cultivation.

"It's really evil, every year someone goes to die by himself...... the old knife handle muttered in an inaudible voice, then raised his head and glanced at Ye Fan, and said, "Wait a few days, gather enough people to go again."

"Uncle, these are your businesses?" Ye Fan noticed that there were a lot of notices posted on one wall.

"I'm a duty person, I won't kill people, these are power of attorney, I'm just an intermediary liaison, and people who want to pick up jobs will come to me to take the task. The old knife took a cigarette pouch and said, "If you want to take the job, I can also contact you, and as for the reward, I will mention 20%." ”

Ye Fan browsed casually, his eyebrows suddenly jumped, some of these tasks actually involved him.

He picked up a golden piece of paper, on which his face was clearly drawn, and he could get a hundred catties just by providing clues, five hundred catties for killing, and a thousand catties for capturing alive.

This is really a high price, and I want to find him out at any cost.

The employer did not hide his identity, and clearly wrote a big character one by one.

Although Ye Fan had been mentally prepared, he still made some waves and fled to the Northern Regions, but the Ji family still didn't want to let him go, so they issued a killing order.

The people who shook the light knew that they had come to the Northern Regions, and it was impossible for the people of the Ji family not to get the news.

"I think I've seen this kill order in other cities. Ye Fan was tempted.

The old knife took a puff of smoke and said, "If you provoke someone who shouldn't be messed with, this kid won't live long." There are many people from the younger generation of the Ji family, and there are also some young people who are with them

Ye Fan was careless, checking other entrusted tasks, and saw a few more orders about him.

Not only did it have the signatures of several masters of the younger generation of the Ji family, but there was also a killing warrant issued by a disciple of the Shaking Light Holy Land.

Ye Fan learned the Great Void Technique and burned to death the elder Taishang of the Ji family, and it was no accident that this family would not let him go. Why is this the disciple of Shaoguang who has never known his life, he suddenly thought of Yao Xi, I am afraid that this was instructed by her.

"Kill me...... I'd like to see how you get me out. Ye Fan sneered in his heart, if he hadn't cultivated the Book of Yuantian, he could change his own charm, and I was afraid that he would be caught sooner or later.

"The masters of the younger generation, I would like to see them. "Ye Fan's strength has been increasing recently

Long, quite a little moved, I want to find some people to try the knife. He didn't believe that everyone was like Ji Haoyue and the Holy Son of Shaking Light, if it was a young monk in the secret realm of the Dao Palace, he felt that he could cut it. "What is the strength of this Ye Fan, why do they make them so excited?" Ye Fan asked casually.

"It is said that he was a monk of the Wheel Sea Secret Realm more than half a year ago, so I don't think there will be too many changes in such a short period of time. The old knife spat out a cigarette map, stared at him with cloudy old eyes, and said, "Are you interested in taking over, I will only mention half of the bounty for this task, and the rest will be yours."

"Okay, Poor Dao has taken it, please tell me all the details. ”

Half an hour later, Ye Fan left Nancheng District.

"How about it, has the Taoist chief talked about it, shouldn't he be slaughtered by that old thing?"

"Charge me fifty pounds and set off in two days. Ye Fan replied.

"Although the price is expensive, it is not too ruthless. The owner of Shi Zhai recommended:

"Buy a stone coat from me, it is an old stone skin peeled off from the treasure source, which has the effect of warding off evil spirits.

The brute roared, and a group of centaurs rushed into the source city, this was a group of young people, all in their twenties, their mounts were extraordinary, three feet above the ground, and rushed through the street.

Ye Fan touched his chin, he was still thinking about it just now, he didn't want to see someone from the Ji family soon, of course he wouldn't take the initiative to cause trouble.

Two days later, Ye Fan came to the broken tile house with the old knife handle in Nancheng District, and there were already more than a dozen people waiting there, most of them young people.

"It's been half a month, and the number of people has finally come together. The old knife took the dry tobacco pouch in his mouth and said: "Yao said that I am only responsible for guiding the way, and I take care of life and death, if I am really summoned into the old mine, it has nothing to do with me." "These people already know the rules, and no one says anything else but urges them to get on the road.

"Why bother, what's so beautiful about an ancient mine, many people are buried in it every year.

The old knife handle muttered. Some people didn't like to hear it, and said, "I said, old man, can you say something festive, as if we were going to die." ”

"Well, may we have a smooth journey!" The old knife handle doesn't say more. He has never pretended to be a task for others, and has always been responsible for himself.

When he walked out of Source City, Ye Fan saw the young people of the Ji family again, they were in a hurry, driving the brute beasts and galloping away. Even though those strange beasts did not touch the ground, the strong wind still raised a lot of dust and sand, making these people who wanted to enter the Great Primordial Ancient Mine look at them angrily.

"What is there to be arrogant, do you really think that this city is your palace?"

"Shhh, be quiet, do you know who those people are, they are from the Ji family, and they will cause a catastrophe. ”

In the group of people who rushed out, several people turned their heads and glared a few times, and one of them showed a sneer: "Woe comes from the mouth, control your mouth." "They didn't stop, they flew away.

"Really...... It's too arrogant, the ancient family is amazing?!" Some people are not angry, but they only dare to mumble after those people are gone. The old knife handle deserves to have walked on this road for decades, and he really avoided the blockade area of the Holy Land and bypassed the secret road. Ten days later, they walked through a large area of no man's land, walked through the boundless Gobi, and the old knife took everyone to the periphery of the Taichu Ancient Mine. Less than a thousand miles away from the so-called primordial edge, they came to the legendary forbidden area of life.

"You can only go another 800 miles, otherwise you will be in danger, you must control yourself, don't be impulsive, and don't say anything. The old knife handle solemnly admonished.

Here, there is nothing, the earth is as red as blood, it has been like this since ancient times, and withering and self are the eternal themes. The sand is everywhere, and the stone mountains that are occasionally seen are as red as blood and as lonely as a tombstone.

"This place is so desolate, you can't even see a ghost. Someone sighed. "Don't talk nonsense!" The old knife knob angrily scolded.

"As for this, nothing, casually say a few words what are you afraid of?" a young man was dissatisfied, thinking that he had been too careful.

The old knife kept muttering, not knowing what he was saying, and at the same time bowed and bowed to the front, then turned around and glared at him angrily, and shouted: "If you want to die, leave by yourself, don't follow us, since I lead the team, everything must listen to me." ”

"Boss, you're going too far, we're paying you, how can you have this attitude?" the young man asked in a cold voice, unconvinced.

"I can give you back the source, and you can leave on your own. The old knife handle responded without being salty.

"Forget it, it's all dissipated, it's almost time to get to the place anyway, so let's say a few words. Someone next to him persuaded.

The old knife handle said coldly: "I'm for your good, talking nonsense in this area will kill people."

"Is it that serious?" the people next to him didn't believe it.

The old knife handle snorted coldly and said, "Three years ago, because there was a person in the team who had no taboos, it caused a big disaster, and only me and the other two survived in the end. ”

"It's so terrible, what's going on, everyone else ...... Dead?" a few people were more timid and cautiously asked.

"No one knew what was happening, everyone was blind and couldn't perceive anything, only screams, and when they regained their senses, there were only about two dozen pools of blood on the ground. The old knife said calmly.

The vast land, an empty space, thousands of miles of red, with no end in sight, and occasional sand and dust rolled up. Everyone looked at each other, all in disbelief. The young man obviously didn't believe it, and sneered: "Everyone is a monk, are you still afraid of demons and ghosts?" I believe that as long as you don't enter the Eight Lives Forbidden Zone, nothing bad will happen outside." ”

"Bang" The old knife threw a bag of sources on the ground, and said, "You go, return the source to you, you can't walk with us." ”

"Forget it, let's stop talking nonsense and move on. "Someone persuaded.

"Okay, can't I stop talking?" The young man saw that the old knife knob sank his face, so serious, and his heart was a little hairy.

"Remember, no one is allowed to talk nonsense!" The old knife handle had a gloomy face and solemnly admonished. The group flew at a low altitude and advanced into the depths of the earth. Walking less than 100 miles, I saw some stone pillars one after another, some of them were extremely thick, and I don't know how many years have passed, and they are still standing on the ground. Occasionally, you will see some huge foundations, each of which is several meters long, and the foundation is very thick and stunning.

"What kind of ruins is this, if it were a building, it would be too magnificent, is it the abode of giants?"

"You see, this stone pillar has some patterns and some strange creatures carved with them, which are really hideous, even more terrible than the devil. ”

"Why are you talking nonsense again?!" The old knife knob glared at the young man with anxious eyes.

"This is also taboo?!" The young man was also a little angry.

"You have to know that when you come to the place, the Primal Ancient Mine is even more incredible than you imagined!" The old knife knob reprimanded angrily, and said, "Five years ago, I saw with my own eyes that more than thirty monks died in front of this ruin, and the blood stained the primordial. ”

"What's going on?" the others were shocked.

"I don't know, but I saw from afar that those people were steamed dry, blood rushed to the sky, and their bodies turned into ashes. The old knife seemed to have palpitations.

"Let's go, let's move on. "The others were a little uncomfortable.

The old knife snorted heavily, away from the young man, as if avoiding snakes and scorpions, not walking with him. Seeing this, Ye Fan followed behind the old knife handle, and also left the guy, preferring to believe it or not.

Everyone walked forward for hundreds of miles, and it was less than a hundred miles away from the so-called edge, and the old knife slowed down and said, "I suggest that you better not advance any further, just fly high in the air here, show your magical powers, and take a good look." ”

"Isn't there still more than a hundred miles, still within a safe range, why don't you move forward?"

"Brother-in-law, let's walk a few dozen miles, I can't see anything here. ”

"Okay. "The old ugly-the handle answered.

Fifty miles on his way again, near the edge of the primordial earth, he said that he would not go anywhere.

"There is no problem to walk for dozens of miles, and I still want to find a few stones at the edge of the Taichu Ancient Mine, maybe I am lucky, and I can't say if I will get a lot." ”

"What did you say?!" The old knife handle has round eyes and hair, like a lion.

"When you come here, don't you want to bring back a few stones, in case you can cut something out,

Isn't it endless suffering? The young man said.

"You ......" The old knife handle didn't say anything, turned around and left.

"Don't go, uncle, we still need you to lead the way." Others persuaded.

"He's going to kill everybody. The old knife handle's face was extremely gloomy.

"I'm just telling the truth, you're too cautious, old knife. The young man had been holding back a fire in his heart, and he couldn't help it at the moment.

I don't know when, the wind has risen, the sand and dust are all over the sky, and the sound of the wind comes from afar.

"Why is it windy, the sun was in the sky just now. ”

"A little wind is nothing, we are all monks, do we still care about a gust of wind?"

"Can you shut up?!" The old knife knob glared at the young man and looked forward with a solemn expression. Red, sand and dust filled the air, like a faint layer of blood mist, from far and near, shrouded towards everyone.

"Woo ......"

The sound of the wind was terrifying, like a ghost crying, and the dust and sand were all over the sky, getting bigger and bigger.

"Black Whirlwind!" The old knife handle's expression changed miserably.

In the distance, large shadows approached quickly, whirlpooling, like dark clouds pressing down, coming from all directions. The red, grains of sand, were covered by a black whirlwind, dyed black, and there were shadows everywhere.

"What kind of ghost is this, and how is it coming from all directions?"

"Woo ......"

The black whirlwind swept the sand grains in the sky, and in the blink of an eye, the ground was pitch black, and the whirlwind had colors, creating a large whirlpool.

"Ah......h

A scream came, and the body of the young man, who was always on the top of the old knife handle, seemed to have been cut open by a sharp blade, leaving a large pool of blood on the ground, and the whole person was shattered in the black whirlwind.

Ye Fan's eyes stood up at that time, he felt a terrifying aura in those black whirlwinds, and leaned out his divine thoughts to observe, but he didn't see anything.

At the center of each black whirlwind was a black hole, as if it could swallow everything.

"Ah......h

Another person was swept apart by the black wind, and he only had time to let out a scream. Up to now, Ye Fan was also a little hairy, he didn't expect that it would be so dangerous to come to Taichu, and he would have to lose his life at every turn.

By now, saving his life is the most important thing, he sacrificed the mother qi of all things to cast a tripod, hid inside, and then took the tripod into it with the fire god furnace. Dangdangdang...... The black, whirlwind blew, like a sharp sword, slashing at the furnace of the god of fire, making an earth-shattering sound.

The incomparably dazzling light emitted, the copper furnace was shining, and the sun engraved on it shone with vigorous vitality and brilliance. The phoenix roared in the sky, and several vague divine birds flew around the stove, and the flames were soaring, burning a monstrous fire. The black, whirlwind, whining, swept across, and several more people shattered and turned into filaments.

"When" "When"......

The earth-shattering sound sounded, and Ye Fan felt like a huge palm, slapping the copper furnace violently, making him feel the terrifying power in the ding.

"Is this really a black whirlwind, how can it have this kind of force?"

He was suspicious in his heart, but he didn't dare to take risks, so he could only hide inside, letting the outside be sonorous.

In a trance, Ye Fan seemed to hear the sound of heavy breathing, as well as the sound of a huge body walking, and the earth seemed to be shaking gently.

"Is it a black whirlwind or is there some creature haunting it?"

I don't know how long it took, but the wind outside stopped, the heavens and the earth calmed down, and no special sound could be heard. Ye Fan put away the tripod made of the mother qi of all things, he didn't want others to see it, otherwise it would cause great trouble.

Then, he flew out of the furnace and landed on the ground.

To his great surprise, the furnace was not damaged, and although it was pitted, it was slowly recovering, and it seemed that it would soon be restored.

"This weapon has a weird ......"

Ye Fan knew that this was definitely not the real Sun God Furnace, and the Extreme Dao Weapon could even suppress the power alive, which was countless times more terrifying than this, and it was impossible for it to be dented.

The light flashed, and he was deeply shocked by the fact that he was restored from the fire and had the ability to be inextinguished. How could an ordinary weapon behave so magically? It was difficult for him to determine what the equivalent of this copper furnace was. The copper furnace turned into an inch high, like a multicolored crystal, and appeared in his palm, Ye Fan did not put it away, but held it in the palm of his hand, using it to defend himself, ready to sacrifice at any time. In front of him, the scenery changed greatly, and he was blown there by the black wind, and the rocks were scattered and the red sand was everywhere. Not far away, there was a figure standing, the old knife handle was silently holding a dry tobacco pouch, and his brows were deeply locked. In addition, seven people passed out on the ground, not strangled by the black whirlwind.

"What's going on, where are we?" Ye Fan asked.

As far as the eye can see, the four fields are empty and very silent, as if some large stones are scattered on a blood-colored plain.

"I'm afraid we're in the primordial ancient mine. The old knife took a heavy puff of smoke.

"Impossible!" Ye Fan was shocked.

"Rest assured, you didn't fall into that divine mine. The old knife handle squeezed together with wrinkles on his face, walked back and forth a few steps, and said: "It is said that the forbidden area where the Taichu Ancient Mine is located, there can be hundreds of miles in radius, and there are also thousands of miles, and most of us are in the forbidden area." ”

"How can this be -......" Ye Fan frowned. The seven people who had died on the ground woke up, their faces pale and full of fear.

"Even the major holy lords can only return to the red soil when they come in, aren't we going to die here?!" The man who had just woken up, his face full of despair.

"They went to the Taichu Ancient Mine, and naturally there was no return. As I said, it's a big area, we don't get into the center, maybe there's still life. The old knife knob looked out at the horizon in the distance

"Really?"

"The chances are a little slim, but there is some hope, something like this has happened and some people have made it out alive. ”

"What is that black whirlwind?" Ye Fan asked.

"I don't know. The old knife shook his head and said, "In this forbidden area, some special winds often blow out, and the black whirlwind is already the mildest. The nine people went on the road, and the old knife knob determined a direction by feeling and took the lead in moving forward.

"Boss, you must look for the circuit, otherwise we may go directly to the Taichu Ancient Mine...... one of the survivors said tremblingly. The old knife handle did not say a word, and led the way directly in front.

Although they are not really standing in front of the Taichu Ancient Mine, they still dare not fly, there are all kinds of legends about the Taichu Divine Mine, known as the birds do not cross, but there are those who jump into the sky, they will be destroyed. After walking out for more than ten miles, a huge ravine-ravine stretched out for several miles. Ye Fan frowned, observed carefully, and a chill ran down his spine. He didn't expect that he would really see this kind of landform, which was exactly what was recorded in the Book of Origin Heaven

The same.

"Don't go down!" He saw an umbrella monk looking tentatively into the ravine, trying to stop it, but it was too late.

The monk standing on the edge of the ravine, in just a moment, his blood was evaporated, "turned into a red light and sank into the rift, and his body was wiped out.

"How so?!" The others were shocked and fell backwards, their faces bloodless. The man had only taken a few steps ahead of them, and all of a sudden, he was turned to ashes, and it made people's scalps tingle to see it with their own eyes. Even the old knife handle changed color, he sensed the danger in advance, but he didn't expect it to be so terrifying, this is simply a magic land. Ye Fan's back was always cold, this forbidden area was too terrifying, completely beyond imagination.

Far away from that sacred mine, and without entering the central area, he saw such a legendary landform, which made him have goosebumps. This huge ravine, long and vigorous, looked carefully, shaped like a prostrate dragon, very godlike, almost chaotic. It was as if a dragon had slept here, crushing the earth and forming such a great rift. It is recorded in the "Book of Origin" that this is the place of great evil, and it is the legendary "Fire Dragon Tomb", which is the place where the dragon is buried. Ye Fan had carefully pondered those sentences, and he didn't know whether to bury the real dragon or bury the dragon vein, he hadn't understood it yet, those ancient texts were too difficult.

According to the "Book of Origins", there must be a divine source in the fire dragon tomb, which is definitely a peerless treasure in the source, but there are also stern warnings, in case of fire dragon tomb, you must avoid it, and you must not dig it up unless you have to, otherwise there will be a monstrous disaster.

"Taichu Ancient Mine, what kind of place is it?!" Ye Fan's heart was difficult to calm down, there were monstrous waves, he had seen such landforms outside, it was really difficult to imagine what kind of mountains and rivers would be around that ancient mine.

"Let's go around and don't approach the Great Rift Valley. He reminded solemnly.

"Yes, this is a desperate pit, and I feel that no matter how many powerful monks I enter, I will die. The old knife knob nodded, looking solemn, and agreed.

The eight of them unanimously agreed to go around the end of the dragon's head, and they walked for several miles, and finally came to the first place, and it was really lifelike, really like a dragon corpse lying in the ground.

"...... here," the old knife knob frowned, his innate spiritual sense made his heart tremble.

"It's not good, get out of here!" Ye Fan felt that his cold hair stood up.

In front of the dragon's head, there is a very small lake, only a dozen zhang in radius, a bright red, the water is like blood, which makes people's hearts palpitate. Even ordinary people will be surprised when they see it, there is no grass in the lonely forbidden area, there should be no water at all, how can there be such a lake?!

And falling into Ye Fan's eyes, it was even more extraordinary, he was cold, the Fire Dragon Tomb was terrifying enough, if you added this blood lake, it would be the biggest murderer among the great murderers.

According to the record of "Yuantian Book", this is "dragon blood", which is rare in the world, and there is a blood god source buried, which is almost impossible to obtain, and you will die if you touch it. "Fire Dragon Tomb" and "Dragon Blood", such a landform is connected together, if it is touched, even if it is the god king of the Eastern Wilderness, it will not escape the catastrophe.
