Turn a beast into a god
Chapter 355 The Encounter of Destiny
At dusk, Cangjie City.
Accompanied by the sunset glowing over the mountains and the spring breeze twirling his hair, Qiaobang and his party came to the small border town——Cangjie City, a frontier fortress made of stones. To the west of Cangjie City is the territory of the Loulan Dynasty. The stone wall built with the joint efforts of generations has formed the most solid boundary line. On top of the stone wall is a tall stone tower. It is rumored that there are four strong people in the Holy Spirit Realm permanently stationed in the stone tower. Stay here and set an example. The shroud of horse leather is the destination most desired by these commanders. Of course, it would be best if they don't have to fight. If they do, they can only walk over their corpses.
The system of Shangtianmen is bloated, and countless dregs inside the gate are acting upwards and downwards, which has intensified and caused people's anger to continue. However, they did not expect that the commander-in-chief would choose to garrison the desolate frontier after his resignation. The commander-in-chief of all dynasties has chosen this road, so that the uninformed people do not know why, and think that they are superior Tianmen's conscience has not been lost, so that people have different attitudes towards the attitude of going to Tianmen, with mixed praise and criticism.
Looking at this rough and majestic stone city, Qiao Bang felt that what was blowing towards his face was not only wind and sand, but also a heavy historical atmosphere.
"Do you know why this city is called Cangjie City?" Qiu Wuhui muttered softly, walking to Qiao Bang's side, the spiritualized wings on her back gradually rested and merged into her shoulder blades.
"I don't know, is there any allusion?" Qiao Bang asked curiously.
"These stone walls were originally tombstones. As early as the period when the Aojia Empire was not divided, this was the most tragic battlefield. Countless soldiers died here. It was not until the empire was divided that there were enough troops to regain it. It is unclear whether it is the bones of the enemy army in Loulan or the remains of our army. In order to prevent the outbreak of the plague, the bones can only be cremated together, mixed into the mud, and piled up on the spot to form a stone wall. Separated from the territory of the Jialuo Empire, this stone tower was built in the next 200 years. You can climb up and look far away, and observe whether there are any changes in the army of the Loulan Dynasty." Qiu Wuhui rarely spoke in front of everyone. With emotion, he completely obeyed Lu Xulei's orders.
"My sister knows a lot!" Qiao Bang praised quickly, he was very clear that there is no love or hate for no reason, and people who have known each other for less than a few days are willing to tell him this, which shows that the relationship has been shortened a lot.
"Because this is my hometown..." Qiu Wuhui murmured, her voice was small but still heard by Qiao Bang.
"My hometown, did my sister grow up here?" Qiao Bang was very curious, and asked Qiu Wuhui, looking up.
"Well, I haven't been in Diancang Province since I can remember, but my mother told me that this is the place where I was born, and I have been here a few times before, but there is not much change..."
Qiao Bang vaguely understood the meaning behind Qiu Wuhui's words, presumably her father was no longer in this world, so it was her mother who brought her up...
Qiu Wuhui looked at the moss on the mottled stone wall, and there were occasional green leaks between the stone crevices. Thinking of the miserable life experiences of the seven people on this trip, she couldn't help laughing bitterly. After thinking about it, she knew that Qiao Anguo and Yang Chengfu were so meaning of arrangement.
Yu Yifei was an orphan since he was a child. He was picked up by the villagers and brought back to raise him. Later, he joined Danzong because of his outstanding talent. They were slaughtered together, and when asked about the residents of the neighboring mountain village, they only knew roughly about the massacre that happened two years ago.Yu Yifei was full of anger, and returned to Danzong to ask Cui Quji for orders. Cui Quji sent thousands of disciples of Danzong to wipe out all the bandits and bandits hundreds of kilometers around the village. Feeling grateful from the bottom of his heart, Fei swore his allegiance to Cui Quji to the death.
The four brothers Li Ruitao, Li Ruiming, Li Ruilin, and Li Ruifeng were abandoned at the mountain gate of Danzong. It is impossible to know who their parents were. The fate of the four brothers was to spend in the surrounding villages. The child was given [-] Galo coins, which is enough for an ordinary person to live to adulthood, but the suzerain saw that the four babies had good aptitude, and after repeated inspections, they found that there was no abnormality in their bodies. They didn't suffer from any illness, so they stayed in Danzong and were raised by the elders. They gave the four children the honor and surname of the patriarch, and named them respectively. Li Ruilin worshiped Xiuchun Pavilion, and Li Ruitao worshiped Zhixia On the cliff, Li Ruiming paid homage to Duanqiu Valley, while Li Ruifeng worshiped Wendong Mountain.Later, the four brothers had similar talents but different levels of diligence. Cui Quji became famous all over the world after several fierce battles, and the four brothers were also assigned to Cui Quji by the suzerain.
Lei Tao has a calm personality and doesn't like to talk. The reason is that he fought with his parents in the northern border since he was a child. He defeated the ice crystal snow demon and returned to Yongyaodu. The enemy army does not distinguish between women, children, and infants. The protracted encounter made both sides red-eyed. Lei Tao's mother died in the battle, and Lei Tao witnessed his mother's death in front of him, resulting in a drastic change in personality. He used to be cheerful. The lively Lei Tao became dull and reticent. His father also tried to guide Lei Tao to be more active, but with little success. He only made Lei Tao more obedient to orders, not much improvement.
Ren Ziyu's father died young, and since Ren Ziyu can remember, he has not been accompanied by his father. There are only guns and axes left by his father at home. His elder brother Ren Shenggang chose the axe, but he chose the gun. After Ruo couldn't use it, he built a corrosion-resistant long gun. The gun never left his body. For him, this gun was like his father, and it was like his father telling him to straighten his back and be an upright man. man.
Hu Jiameng...does not belong to the Southern Territory Legion, but was forced to join the escort team. Now it seems that he has adapted to the long-distance trek, and he is very energetic. It doesn't look like he has been flying for a long time .
"Here we are, here is Cangjie City. Countless generations of spirit warriors threw their heads and blood, defended the integrity of the territory with their own lives, and built this legendary fortress with flesh and blood. This is what the Oga Empire had when it was still alive. The carrier of the national spirit, countless soldiers expelled the Loulan Dynasty from the border, and established and reshaped a new order in this desolate and chaotic land. Whether you are from the Southern Territory or the Jialuo people, no matter how corrupt the imperial court is, the common people are innocent and their lives are precious, and countless soldiers keep the enemy away for the sake of the folks, relatives and friends behind them."
"If the empire is in trouble, please don't forget that you are also a spiritual warrior. If the invaders raise their butcher knives and slash at your compatriots, do you know what you will do?"
"Invaders, kill without mercy!" Qiao Bang responded to Lu Xulei, this time he did not dislike Lu Xulei's preaching, because he also agreed that the concept of family and country has been deeply imprinted in his heart, and this is not the affiliation of this life It is a feeling, but countless martyrs in the previous life have proved it to future generations with monuments.
"That's right! Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. We are about to leave our homeland. I hope you will always remember that you are a Jialuo person. Don't abandon your country. Otherwise, no matter how talented you are, I will kill you on the spot "The cold words came out of Lu Xulei's teeth, which made Qiao Bang feel a shiver unconsciously, he knew very well that Lu Xulei was not just talking, but really wanted to kill.
"Never, I always remember who I am." Qiao Bang responded very quickly without thinking.
"Very good, we will stay here temporarily tonight, and leave early tomorrow morning. Li Ruitao, Ren Ziyu!"
"Yes!" The two were puzzled, but they responded in time. Lu Xulei is the commander-in-chief of this trip, and he must obey any orders.
"Tonight, the two of you take turns guarding the truck to ensure that the goods are not stolen. At the same time, you must ensure that the goods are not worn out. You two decide the specific shift time. What I want is the result!" Lu Xulei said calmly.
"Why? He bought this batch of sea fish. We don't have the obligation to take care of the goods, right?" Ren Ziyu took the lead in objecting, pointing at Hu Jiameng and said unceremoniously. It's really a head iron.
"It doesn't matter. Since it's the goods I chose, I can just watch it alone. Don't disturb everyone's rest." Hu Jiameng was also afraid that Lu Xulei would get mad again, so he came forward to mediate and calm everyone's emotions. After all, from the beginning to the end, he didn't feel that he was a member of the Southern Territory Legion, but just a single person who accompanied everyone to act together.
"Since it's a group, it shouldn't be too clear. You and Li Ruitao are on duty tonight, and someone else will be on duty tomorrow night, even me. If you don't want to guard the goods, then I'll be here tonight!" Lu Lu Xu Lei's face was full of disappointment. There was no contempt in the eyes of Ren Ziyu, but only pity and abandonment. This scene was clearly captured by Qiao Bang.
"No, since it's a fair choice, I'm willing to guard the supplies." Ren Ziyu's voice was clear and calm, his tone firm and unquestionable, and he looked towards Lu Xulei without flinching.
"Okay, I'm quite interested in Brother Hu's sea fish. I'll keep it tonight, but the ugly thing is, I want to pick a fish out for grilling tomorrow. I'll just like this one. The grilled fish I made tastes good. Poor~" Li Ruitao saw that the atmosphere was serious, so he interrupted Qiu Wuhui and Yu Yifei, who were hesitant to speak. He had readily accepted such an arrangement and did not intend to provoke Lu Xulei's authority.
"Of course, I'm good at grilling fish. Why don't I grill it for everyone before leaving tomorrow? Everyone has worked hard along the way, so I'm sorry." Lu Xulei and Ren Ziyu's bodies were no longer so stiff, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
The smell of gunpowder brought about by the quarrel dissipated in a few words. Everyone packed up their mood and walked towards the gate of Cangjie City. Zhou Zhengyong watched coldly and did not express his position. He did not show the pass token of the Benlei Chamber of Commerce until the gate, which is strange to say. Previously, the soldiers of the city defense army, who had been inspected very strictly, let them go immediately after seeing the token of the Benlei Chamber of Commerce, and even the inspection procedures were saved.
The relationship between Benlei Chamber of Commerce and Tianduanya, Wanshouzong, and Huasheng Temple has always been very good. Yanluan Chamber of Commerce has close contacts with Danzong, Tangmen, and various small sects affiliated to Danzong. All major chambers of commerce have backers However, it is impossible to maintain the stable development of the chamber of commerce with pure interests, and most of them are maintained by in-laws. Only by opening up all the relationships can it be unimpeded in the north and south of the empire.
The wind, sand and rocks were blowing randomly, Qiao Bang silently urged the spiritual power coat to release the wind element spiritual power to isolate the sand and dust, so that the eyes would not be confused by the sand and stones, and the road ahead could not be seen clearly. It's really desolate, as far as the eye can see, there are houses and city walls repaired from hard rocks. It is true that few people move here in such bad weather. No one walks on the streets, and most people live in stone houses. Joe Bang and his party looked very conspicuous, and Qiao Bang always felt that there were many pairs of eyes staring at him, which was very uncomfortable.
Cangjie City is located at the junction of the Promir Mountains and the Jiakamil Mountains. The altitude is extremely high but there are no mountains to cover it. To the west of Cangjie City is a vast desert. It is impossible for ordinary people to cross this man-eating desert. Warriors can use their spiritual power to communicate with the bridge between heaven and earth to find the water element aura between heaven and earth to replenish water. The special geographical environment and climate have created this frontier fortress, and it has also become a natural barrier. The military forces of the two countries want to wade through this warehouse Limo Desert is extremely difficult, whether it is a test for soldiers or whether the supply can keep up is a problem.
Because of this, although the two countries have experienced various conflicts and confrontations over the years, they have not actually launched large-scale wars. This is not only because it is difficult to break through, but more importantly, once a war is provoked, Only the defeat of one side can recover the cost invested by the other side, and the Loulan Dynasty has been the losing side for more than 200 years. This is precisely because the Loulan Dynasty respected freedom and the people formed a warlord regime. The Loulan royal family also acquiesced in the looting of bandits on the border, and the death of these desperate forces in the hands of the soldiers of the Jialuo Empire. The short-sighted royal family only valued the loss of their own interests, but underestimated the gradual decline of the national fortune. It is no longer the case that it will be difficult to risk everything to launch a large-scale war.
Qiu Wuhui told Qiao Bang all these. Qiao Bang endured the wind and sand all over the sky, and his spiritual power coat became more and more solid, resisting the invasion of sand and stone from all directions, chewing on Qiu Wuhui's words, trying to figure out the deep meaning.
Under the leadership of Zhou Zhengyong, everyone came to a stone house. The structure of the building is extremely simple, and the outside is made of rocks. The load-bearing columns seem to be withered spirit plants coated with wax. Rules, but solid enough, visible to the naked eye and durable, it is a better place to live in this harsh environment.
He skillfully raised his identity card, and passed the information that could prove his identity to the owner of the stone house. After some skilled docking work, the owner of the stone house opened the door and left, leaving this stone house to them, which also made everyone feel happy. Are no longer hanging.
"Okay, you guys go to rest first, Ren Ziyu and I are in charge of taking care of the supplies." Li Ruitao waved his hands, with a death-defying expression on his face, and then pushed the door out, Ren Ziyu was not to be outdone, pushed the door with one hand and walked out with difficulty , the strong wind was blowing into the stone house, and it stopped after the door was completely closed.
Everyone was looking for a place to live, Yu Yifei knocked on the door and approached Lei Tao and Hu Jiameng, discussing that everyone would take turns to replace the two on duty today, and with Hu Jiameng's consent, Lei Tao remained unmoved, closed the door and sat opposite Qiao Bang, and that was it Keep staring at Qiao Bang.
Qiao Bang, who was already exhausted, didn't care about Lei Tao's fire-breathing eyes, and lay down directly on the soft pine bed, gradually fell into a deep sleep, and even snored.
……
The sand and gravel covering the sky and the sun outside the stone house are rolling and flying, and the whistling wind seems to never stop. The temperature difference between day and night in the Kulimo desert is extremely large, and there are few people on the street. Standing upright between heaven and earth, they are like landmarks, stubborn and proud.
"I think this Cangjie City is because the stones are worthless. I don't feel sorry for being looted by the soldiers of the Loulan Dynasty. It is not as legendary as you said, and it is also known as the city of heroes. It is a place that even spirit beasts don't want to visit. It’s better to leave as soon as possible.” Lin Yihuan raised his head and said, the spiritual power coat that had condensed into countless tiny ice crystal particles around his body surface, and the wind and sand blowing head-on was blocked by the ice crystals, making a crackling sound.
"Young master, please slow down, the old slave can't keep up with your footsteps." The one-year-old man behind him bent forward and followed behind Lin Yihuan.
"Grandma Tong, didn't I say we should hurry up?" Lin Yihuan was a little impatient, and turned to look at Tong Ran who was walking slowly. This made it hum uncontrollably.
The four treasures of the Hall of Souls, the soul-destroying tripod, the soul-destroying bell, the heart-breaking bell, and the bone-cracking flute, are compatible with each other, and they can interact with each other within a radius of ten miles. This is why Lin Yihuan is so anxious. She vaguely sensed something. The people who mastered the heart-breaking bell and bone-cracking flute in the Hall of Souls were all appointed by her to stay in the hall. At this time, she was able to have such a strong reaction. Yes, could it be the long-lost Dementor Cauldron?
The soul-hunting cauldron that my mother had been thinking about before she was alive, the treasure that countless generations of palace masters spent energy and time looking for, was actually in this desolate frontier fortress.
Lin Yihuan is not stupid, she wants to find out the approximate location of the soul-destroying cauldron first, observe the opponent's strength, and then send the palace envoy here, there is no need to do it by herself, she just needs to confirm that it is correct, after all, a treasure can only be absorbed by one person. If the soul is not strong enough to forcibly grasp it, it will be backlashed by the souls of the hall masters and elders of the past. This is what my mother reminded repeatedly before her death.
"Young master, you must be careful in this desolate border. There are not many gentle and pure people who come here. Everything must be safe, and everything should be careful..." Tong Ran followed slowly , his face is covered with wrinkles, he looks very old, he seems to be easily blown away by the wind, but there is no sand and stone around his body that can penetrate, and the spiritual power coat is as if nothing is there, it is really amazing.
"My soul-destroying clock has responded!" Lin Yihuan shouted angrily with his hands on his hips.
"What? Could it be that the dementing tripod has fallen here?" Tong Ran lost her composure, and suddenly regained her energy, straightening her back in the wind and sand.
"Yeah! I didn't expect that there would be unexpected gains from this trip. Granny Tong, come with me!" Lin Yihuan jumped up and down a few times, rubbing his sore shoulders, standing outside the Hall of Souls, in the place where he grew up with him. In front of Tong Ran, she did not put on a disguise.
"Be careful sailing for thousands of years, young master, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, don't act impulsively, think twice before doing everything!" Tong Ran was only agitated for a moment before returning to calmness, she knew that this ghostly place would actually be sensitive When it comes to the soul-destroying cauldron, it is very likely that it is not an ownerless thing, and it is very likely that it has been absorbed into the body.
You must know that the treasures of the Hall of Souls can be absorbed into the spiritual knot space in the body as a contract of soldiers and spirits through the two major secret methods. Even if you have not mastered the secret methods, you can still accommodate the treasures in the body, and even place the sea of spiritual consciousness to warm them up.There are four known powerhouses in Cangjie City. Although he has already reached the cultivation level of the Holy Spirit Realm, it is quite normal for both of them to be strong in the Holy Spirit Realm.
Tong Ran asked himself that he couldn't deal with the two strong men in the Holy Spirit Realm, let alone the four strong men from the Heavenly Gate.
"Understood, there are people out there, I'm excited." Lin Yihuan sighed helplessly, clenched his hands, looked up at Tong Ran, feeling so unwilling.
"Let's take a close look at the situation first. No matter whether there is a result or not, if you startle the snake, leave quickly. Everything will be answered by the old slave, so don't make a sound."
"Yeah." Lin Yihuan nodded repeatedly.
The master and servant slowly approached the stone house, and the reaction of the soul-destroying clock on their wrists became more and more violent, which made Lin Yihuan's mood fluctuate even more.
"What are you going to do?" The sudden voice resounded, making Tong Ran's forward pace stagnate, the expression on his face froze instantly, his wrinkled face suddenly became serious, and there were two people behind him who didn't know what to do. I noticed that I couldn't tell the strength of these two people from the breath and pace.
You must know that Tong Ran is a strong man in the Holy Spirit Realm, and his spiritual power is already strong enough to form an oscillating aura around his body, and he can clearly distinguish the sound of sand and stone flying and falling and breaking within hundreds of meters around him.But under such circumstances, the two people behind him suddenly appeared, and he didn't notice it at all.
"Who?" Tong Ran turned around abruptly, her eyes brightened, and she subconsciously protected Lin Yihuan behind her back. She made many mistakes and offended many aristocratic families in her middle age, and she disappeared for forty years. Having been bitten for ten years and afraid of the well rope, Tong Ran still remained cautious, for fear that his enemies would recognize him, so he did not take any elixir, but he was still apprehensive.
"You don't need to know, let me ask you why you came to my private house?" The man looked clear and bright, and the old woman beside him looked old. .
"I'm sorry, the wind and sand is too big, I recognized the wrong home, thank you for reminding me, I interrupted." Tong Ran refrained from attacking, the spiritual fluctuations of the two people in front of him are not strong, but they are good at hiding their breath, the strength of the two is definitely not strong Generally speaking, it is roughly judged that it is not suitable for a strong person in the Spirit Emperor Realm to fight here. If four strong people in the Spirit Saint Realm are provoked, they will not be able to retreat unscathed by then.
"A strong person in the Holy Spirit Realm will also recognize the wrong family. Do you think I am a three-year-old child and deceive me at will?" The man sneered, his spiritual power suddenly rose to the peak, and he raised his arm falsely, ready to fight.
Seeing that this posture was useless to explain clearly, Tong Ran pulled Lin Yihuan's hand back without hesitation, her lips buzzing, reminding Lin Yihuan to use treasures to protect herself and to deal with attacks at any time.
"You two little friends don't need to be nervous. The old man has indeed admitted his mistake and has no intention of arguing with you. Why don't you take a step back?"
"Why are you still following behind?" The door of the room was pushed open from the stone house, and Yu Yifei and Hu Jiameng walked out. The two of them immediately saw clearly that the two standing outside the door were Ni Rui and Hu Jiameng. Shu Yuhan's voice suddenly pierced into everyone's ears. This is a sonic technique of Danzong, which can disturb the mind with spiritual power and spiritual power.
"We just want to protect you, we didn't disturb your life, we just worried about you, we have no other thoughts." Shu Yuhan responded cautiously, while Ni Rui stared at Tong Ran and Lin Yihuan intently, when the mother-in-law and the little girl appeared in front of her It's so strange, haunting in the dusty environment, there must be some plot.
"I don't need any protection from you, I just want you to disappear before my eyes and disappear from my world!" Yu Yifei's anger was ignited, and the suffocation in his chest and abdomen during the day suddenly exploded, following Ni Rui's line of sight To Tong Ran.
Tong Ran heard the two people quarreled and heard some tricks. The two groups knew each other but were not familiar with each other, and the relationship was not very good. He couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. Lead Lin Yihuan out of here.
"Who the hell are you? If you don't report yourself, I'll attack with all my might!" Ni Rui turned a deaf ear to Yu Yifei's roar. In his opinion, this was a sign of inexperienced people, losing his temper. If you can solve the problem, what do you need strength for?
Tong Ran didn't answer Ni Rui's question directly, but said in a cold voice: "It's the four guards in Cangjie City that I'm afraid of, not you mediocre juniors. Since I want to compete, I won't shirk, and I will accompany you to the end !"
After saying that, Tong Ran slowly raised his arms, and the knuckles on both hands shone brightly. Nine rays of light swayed and flickered in the dust-ravaged environment, but everyone saw it very clearly. Condensed in the palm of Ran's right hand, the black light gradually condensed, and after careful identification, one can find that it is actually a scepter, the whole body is as black as ink, an indescribable evil.
The most frightening thing is not the scepter, but the nine spiritual knots on Tong Ran's palm have left the knuckles, and the knuckles are attached to the top of the scepter, just like gems are inlaid on the bumps on the scepter, black paint The bright light erupted from the top of Qi's scepter, which actually caused Tong Ran's aura to explode.
Such a strange picture made everyone breathless. No one had encountered the practice of breaking away from the knuckles after encountering a spiritual knot. It can be said that it completely violated the laws of the world.
However, Ni Rui and Shu Yuhan have fought for a long time, and have seen too many strange people, so they are no longer surprised. Their eyes did not stay on the scepter, but on Tong Ran's eyes. The turbid eyes were black and red, which was extremely abnormal, as if a raging flame had been stirred up in the dark night, threatening to start a prairie fire.
"Hall of Souls..." Ni Rui uttered his judgment with difficulty, his body trembling unconsciously, the moment he said it, he completely sealed the sea of consciousness, his hands kept turning, and the spirit insects in his sleeves were raging regardless of the sand and stones When they were all stirred up, two black clouds formed, which was very terrifying.Shu Yuhan no longer restrained himself when he heard the words. He pointed high at the sky with one hand and then suddenly pointed down and pointed. When it grows out, it twists into a whole wall of trees by chance, and jumps onto the crown of the tree while Yu Yifei and Hu Sigui are completely separated, looking down at Tong Ran and Lin Yihuan.
"I didn't expect anyone to recognize the Hall of Souls. It seems that you are not as young as you appear on the surface. You are good at handling insects. Which one are you from the Wen, Qu, Ni, and Liao families?" Tong Ran felt a basin of cold water pouring from the top of his head. Next, there was a chill all over the body. The worm master and the plant master had always been at odds, but the two cooperated closely and tacitly, which was obviously not an ordinary relationship. The worm master still needs to go all out, and the other plant master's method is not bad at first glance, why is it so unlucky to meet such a strong opponent by the young master's side?
"You and I are both at the same level, and I don't think I am weaker than the people in the Hall of Souls. You are like aphids, you like to eat other people's spiritual power, and you also like to plant sigils on people. It’s really a great disaster in the Lingwu world, so why not fight here, I also want to see how insidious and cunning the old seniors in the Hall of Souls are!” Ni Rui responded lightly, but his voice was extremely high-pitched, both for Yu Yifei and for Yu Yifei. Tell Lu Xulei in the stone house that you don't have to be polite to those who face the Hall of Souls, and it is not shameful to bully more than less. This is the conclusion drawn from many years of fighting.
"It's okay to fight, and please report your names, and I can be a sensible ghost." Tong Ran's thoughts turned sharply in his mind, and he chose to show his weakness to the enemy, and please enter the urn. Now that he is outside the influence of the scepter, he has already prepared The worst plan is to abandon the army and protect the commander. Lin Yihuan must be let out of here.
"Who made the mistake?" While moving around, Lu Xulei suddenly appeared, and a hole was opened in the tree wall in the blink of an eye. Seeing an old woman holding a scepter in her hand, invisible pressure suddenly fell on her shoulders. Surprised in my heart, I immediately released my nine spiritual knots, and my breath was no longer suppressed, and it was released from the inside out.
Tong Ran took a deep breath, she was very familiar with this person in front of her, isn't this the brigade commander Lu Xulei of the Northern Army?How could it appear here?Wasn't it rumored that he died accidentally?How do you stand here so well?
Thinking of this, Tong Ran lowered his head unconsciously, for fear that Lu Xulei would recognize him. Although his face changed drastically, it should be difficult to recognize him, but Tong Ran still decided not to expose himself. After all, this person in front of him was once in the snowy area Chasing her for three days and two nights, treating her as a foreign spiritual warrior who crossed the border, he was no match back then, and now he is not completely sure of winning.
Bitterness lingers in my heart, my heart constricts for a while, and the luck in the secret path is extremely bad. The two strong people in the Holy Spirit Realm and the three strong people in the Spirit Emperor Realm in front of them are already in a one-sided situation, and they must flee from this place immediately. Go find it again.
It doesn't matter if I die, the young master can't die, Yu Xiao's kindness to me is too great, and I have to repay it even if I am smashed to pieces!
"Are you dumb? Who are you? Don't tell me that I misunderstood the location. Whoever lives in Cangjie City can't hide it from me!" Lu Xulei snorted coldly, pretending to say it, but actually didn't know it at all. The distribution of forces in Cangjie City is just for bluffing here, and he doesn't dare to take the initiative to provoke a battle. In the eyes of outsiders, he is a dead person, and he doesn't want to let the world know that he is still alive, which will cause trouble and cause more trouble. Troubled.
"I really can't argue with my mouth. I really recognized the wrong family and went the wrong way. I don't intend to offend." Tong Ran smiled wryly, put down the scepter, and looked at Lu Xulei with her eyes. It would be Lu Xulei's opponent, and the person who almost became the suzerain of the Wanshou sect would be mediocre.
"Don't listen to her nonsense, she is from the Hall of Souls!" Ni Rui reminded again, warning Lu Xulei not to be soft-hearted.
"Since you've made a mistake, it's a misunderstanding. You guys leave quickly and don't disturb my rest!" Lu Xulei turned a deaf ear, stood with his hands behind his back, and with a big wave of his hands, a strong wave of air surged. A gust of wind blew away Tong Ran and Lin Yihuan.
Of course, this is why Tong Ran tried his best to cooperate, otherwise he wouldn't be so embarrassed.
"Senior! How can you let the tiger go back to the mountain? The people in the Hall of Souls are insidious and cunning, and they will do everything they can. What will they do if they do something wrong in the future? It's easy to hide a spear and it's hard to guard against it!" Ni Rui couldn't help blurting out, facing the big Lu Xulei, who was in his teens, still found it extremely absurd.
"What do you know? Do you want to attract the four guards from the Shangtianmen? If it weren't for the sandy weather, it is not easy to expose the pressure of spiritual power, I would not have shown my strength just now. Do you want Yu Yifei to be involved in the turmoil you caused? Wan Wan As soon as he was stationed at the Tianmen Gate, Yifei was killed by mistake, do you accept the consequence or do I accept it?" Lu Xulei's voice was no longer cold, and as he asked Ni Rui back, there was a hint of redness in his eyes.
"Then let the people in the Hall of Souls leave like this? Don't be afraid of thieves stealing or worrying about them. How do you know if the target of the Hall of Souls is you? Or Qiao Bang?" Influence, justify and strive unceremoniously.
"If it weren't for the fact that your husband and wife are not strong and have no malicious intentions, but just followed behind without doing anything, I would have attacked you long ago. I don't know whether the people in the Hall of Souls are targeting me and Qiao Bang, but you two You really want to make your son who may have been separated for more than 30 years recognize his relatives, don't you?" Lu Xulei frowned slightly, restraining his impatience, and responded in a deep voice.
"Yuhan and I do have this intention, but it will never affect you. We just want to protect Fei'er, and hope that senior will accommodate you." Ni Rui tentatively responded. Can fall back on the next best thing.
"It's hard for an upright official to break up housework. I won't interfere with you secretly protecting Yu Yifei, but if it affects your actions, I must take action and seriously injure you." Lu Xulei flicked his sleeves and looked back sideways, and coldly glanced at Ni Ruihe standing beside him Shu Yuhan on the canopy was obviously threatening. After saying that, he opened the wooden door and walked into the stone house, ignoring Hu Jiameng and Yu Yifei during the whole process, and restrained his breath immediately.
Still wanted to say something, but seeing Yu Yifei's disgusted eyes, Ni Rui had a lot of things to say, but was blocked by those piercing eyes, and his heart sank a little.
The yellow sand that covered the sky and the sun could not stop blowing, Ni Rui and Shu Yuhan watched Yu Yifei turn and leave, their hearts were infinitely desolate and they didn't know where to pour them out, they hugged each other for comfort, although as spirit warriors they don't have to worry about the cold Feng Lengyue, but the coolness in his heart could not be restrained to swell outwards, Ni Rui's shoulders shook twice unconsciously, Shu Yuhan in his arms became unconscious again, and his misty eyes dimmed again, Ni Rui only felt that the coolness was even worse, Physically and mentally exhausted.
……
"Young Master, are you alright?" Tong Ran dragged Lin Yihuan to escape, and did not relax until tens of miles outside Cangjie City. His mental power spread outwards and he did not feel any spirit warriors following him, so he relaxed a little, and asked with concern. road.
"I'm fine, but it's Granny Tong. Are you alright?" Lin Yihuan let go of Tong Ran's hand, looked up at Tong Ran, and shook his head in response.
"It's okay, I thought we were going to fight, but fortunately Brigadier Nalu didn't make a fuss, he saved his life, but I feel a little tired, just find a secluded place to rest."
Seeing Tong Ran's pale face, Lin Yihuan nodded quickly, but he didn't think it was all right. He supported Tong Ran and continued to walk forward. After walking a few steps, he spit out a mouthful of black blood, his breathing became short of breath, and the forest blocked him. The invasion of wind and sand also made Tong Ran feel better, and did not inhale the sand and dust into his mouth and nose.
"Grandma Tong! Why do you seem to be okay? Hurry up and sit down and adjust your breath!" Lin Yihuan was shocked, and hurriedly supported Tong Ran with both hands, feeling even more worried. Lin Yihuan, who had not had many relatives to accompany him since childhood It was Tong Ran who was by her side, and she would never allow her relatives to leave again in front of her.
"It's really okay. This is just a sequela of my fusion of the spirit knot with the soldier spirit, not the harm that group of people caused to me." Tong Ran was burning inside, and his bones all over his body felt sore, but the mentally strong She stabilized the injury within a few breaths, and her breathing returned to the original rhythm.
"Who are those people? They forced you, mother-in-law, to fuse your spiritual knots to deal with it?" Lin Yihuan endured for a long time, and finally expressed the question in his heart.
"The former brigade commander of the Northern Territory Army, Lu Xulei, almost became a powerful spiritual warrior of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect Master. If he hadn't led the army to conquer the Ice Crystal Snow Demon, he might have returned to the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect to succeed him. Inferior. It is rumored that he died in the attack of the three-headed crystal dragon in the northern border, but now he is encountered here, and he looks intact. The outside world thought he was dead, but now he appears here."
"It turned out to be him? Then will he return to the northern border to regain military power? Wouldn't it spoil the next deployment?" Lin Yihuan was taken aback, his little head immediately realized the stakes, and immediately asked the most concerned question.
"I don't know. The purpose of appearing in Cangjie City is obviously to go to the Loulan Dynasty. He probably won't return to the northern border in a short time, but I think Lu Xulei is very cautious, and he probably won't show his face to let the world know that he is still alive."
"He has a curse of life and death on him, but I can't control it, otherwise I just drove him to use for me."
"Impossible! The young master is not strong enough, so don't rashly drive the strong in the Holy Spirit Realm. That is definitely not something that can be done now, and it will definitely be backlashed! Although the young master has the spiritual power reserves of the Spirit Emperor Realm, after all, he did not cultivate by himself." Come on, the control of mental power is still not enough to control the thick solid spiritual power in the body, and we must not do anything according to our temper!"
"I know, I just feel very kind. The life and death curse on Brigadier Lu seems to be planted by my mother, and it is exactly the same as my spiritual power fluctuations." Lin Yihuan comforted Tong Ran and said that he would not be stupid. She stroked Tong Ran's back lightly, and comforted Tong Ran in turn.
"Did the soul-destroying clock feel among those people just now?" Tong Ran recalled and asked the most concerned question.
"No, but the reaction in the stone house was relatively strong. Just now, the soul-destroying clock has pointed to the roof of the stone house. It must be absorbed by someone."
"Don't think about it, don't get close now! There are plant masters and insect masters in that group. You and I are definitely not able to compete. Those two are extremely good at long-term combat. One person can be worth a thousand troops. I have no way to deal with it! Tong Ran interrupted seriously, his eyes fell on Lin Yihuan like a knife, this time Tong Ran did not obey the distinction between master and servant, but directly expressed his attitude.
"Good Granny Tong, I will never joke about my life! Shall we find a place to rest here, or set off for Jinyang City now?"
"Don't worry, let's start after those people leave Cangjie City. Now follow me back to Cangjie City and find a resting place to adjust my breath. I'm not in a good state right now, and I need to adjust."
"Okay, I'll follow Grandma Tong's order." Lin Yihuan smiled playfully, his appearance was extremely cute.
The two master and servant walked out of the woods, turned back to Cangjie City again, and disappeared in the endless sand and dust.
This sandstorm ravages the vast land, as if it is blowing endlessly, it seems to give every fragile individual a warning, let them clearly know their own insignificance, this barren area of Kurimo, there is no room for chance speculators.
Under the cruel wind and sand, there is a gentle embrace of stone walls.
There are always people who move forward fearlessly, and there are always people who don't care about the consequences.
Riding the wind and waves, overcoming thorns and thorns!
Accompanied by the sunset glowing over the mountains and the spring breeze twirling his hair, Qiaobang and his party came to the small border town——Cangjie City, a frontier fortress made of stones. To the west of Cangjie City is the territory of the Loulan Dynasty. The stone wall built with the joint efforts of generations has formed the most solid boundary line. On top of the stone wall is a tall stone tower. It is rumored that there are four strong people in the Holy Spirit Realm permanently stationed in the stone tower. Stay here and set an example. The shroud of horse leather is the destination most desired by these commanders. Of course, it would be best if they don't have to fight. If they do, they can only walk over their corpses.
The system of Shangtianmen is bloated, and countless dregs inside the gate are acting upwards and downwards, which has intensified and caused people's anger to continue. However, they did not expect that the commander-in-chief would choose to garrison the desolate frontier after his resignation. The commander-in-chief of all dynasties has chosen this road, so that the uninformed people do not know why, and think that they are superior Tianmen's conscience has not been lost, so that people have different attitudes towards the attitude of going to Tianmen, with mixed praise and criticism.
Looking at this rough and majestic stone city, Qiao Bang felt that what was blowing towards his face was not only wind and sand, but also a heavy historical atmosphere.
"Do you know why this city is called Cangjie City?" Qiu Wuhui muttered softly, walking to Qiao Bang's side, the spiritualized wings on her back gradually rested and merged into her shoulder blades.
"I don't know, is there any allusion?" Qiao Bang asked curiously.
"These stone walls were originally tombstones. As early as the period when the Aojia Empire was not divided, this was the most tragic battlefield. Countless soldiers died here. It was not until the empire was divided that there were enough troops to regain it. It is unclear whether it is the bones of the enemy army in Loulan or the remains of our army. In order to prevent the outbreak of the plague, the bones can only be cremated together, mixed into the mud, and piled up on the spot to form a stone wall. Separated from the territory of the Jialuo Empire, this stone tower was built in the next 200 years. You can climb up and look far away, and observe whether there are any changes in the army of the Loulan Dynasty." Qiu Wuhui rarely spoke in front of everyone. With emotion, he completely obeyed Lu Xulei's orders.
"My sister knows a lot!" Qiao Bang praised quickly, he was very clear that there is no love or hate for no reason, and people who have known each other for less than a few days are willing to tell him this, which shows that the relationship has been shortened a lot.
"Because this is my hometown..." Qiu Wuhui murmured, her voice was small but still heard by Qiao Bang.
"My hometown, did my sister grow up here?" Qiao Bang was very curious, and asked Qiu Wuhui, looking up.
"Well, I haven't been in Diancang Province since I can remember, but my mother told me that this is the place where I was born, and I have been here a few times before, but there is not much change..."
Qiao Bang vaguely understood the meaning behind Qiu Wuhui's words, presumably her father was no longer in this world, so it was her mother who brought her up...
Qiu Wuhui looked at the moss on the mottled stone wall, and there were occasional green leaks between the stone crevices. Thinking of the miserable life experiences of the seven people on this trip, she couldn't help laughing bitterly. After thinking about it, she knew that Qiao Anguo and Yang Chengfu were so meaning of arrangement.
Yu Yifei was an orphan since he was a child. He was picked up by the villagers and brought back to raise him. Later, he joined Danzong because of his outstanding talent. They were slaughtered together, and when asked about the residents of the neighboring mountain village, they only knew roughly about the massacre that happened two years ago.Yu Yifei was full of anger, and returned to Danzong to ask Cui Quji for orders. Cui Quji sent thousands of disciples of Danzong to wipe out all the bandits and bandits hundreds of kilometers around the village. Feeling grateful from the bottom of his heart, Fei swore his allegiance to Cui Quji to the death.
The four brothers Li Ruitao, Li Ruiming, Li Ruilin, and Li Ruifeng were abandoned at the mountain gate of Danzong. It is impossible to know who their parents were. The fate of the four brothers was to spend in the surrounding villages. The child was given [-] Galo coins, which is enough for an ordinary person to live to adulthood, but the suzerain saw that the four babies had good aptitude, and after repeated inspections, they found that there was no abnormality in their bodies. They didn't suffer from any illness, so they stayed in Danzong and were raised by the elders. They gave the four children the honor and surname of the patriarch, and named them respectively. Li Ruilin worshiped Xiuchun Pavilion, and Li Ruitao worshiped Zhixia On the cliff, Li Ruiming paid homage to Duanqiu Valley, while Li Ruifeng worshiped Wendong Mountain.Later, the four brothers had similar talents but different levels of diligence. Cui Quji became famous all over the world after several fierce battles, and the four brothers were also assigned to Cui Quji by the suzerain.
Lei Tao has a calm personality and doesn't like to talk. The reason is that he fought with his parents in the northern border since he was a child. He defeated the ice crystal snow demon and returned to Yongyaodu. The enemy army does not distinguish between women, children, and infants. The protracted encounter made both sides red-eyed. Lei Tao's mother died in the battle, and Lei Tao witnessed his mother's death in front of him, resulting in a drastic change in personality. He used to be cheerful. The lively Lei Tao became dull and reticent. His father also tried to guide Lei Tao to be more active, but with little success. He only made Lei Tao more obedient to orders, not much improvement.
Ren Ziyu's father died young, and since Ren Ziyu can remember, he has not been accompanied by his father. There are only guns and axes left by his father at home. His elder brother Ren Shenggang chose the axe, but he chose the gun. After Ruo couldn't use it, he built a corrosion-resistant long gun. The gun never left his body. For him, this gun was like his father, and it was like his father telling him to straighten his back and be an upright man. man.
Hu Jiameng...does not belong to the Southern Territory Legion, but was forced to join the escort team. Now it seems that he has adapted to the long-distance trek, and he is very energetic. It doesn't look like he has been flying for a long time .
"Here we are, here is Cangjie City. Countless generations of spirit warriors threw their heads and blood, defended the integrity of the territory with their own lives, and built this legendary fortress with flesh and blood. This is what the Oga Empire had when it was still alive. The carrier of the national spirit, countless soldiers expelled the Loulan Dynasty from the border, and established and reshaped a new order in this desolate and chaotic land. Whether you are from the Southern Territory or the Jialuo people, no matter how corrupt the imperial court is, the common people are innocent and their lives are precious, and countless soldiers keep the enemy away for the sake of the folks, relatives and friends behind them."
"If the empire is in trouble, please don't forget that you are also a spiritual warrior. If the invaders raise their butcher knives and slash at your compatriots, do you know what you will do?"
"Invaders, kill without mercy!" Qiao Bang responded to Lu Xulei, this time he did not dislike Lu Xulei's preaching, because he also agreed that the concept of family and country has been deeply imprinted in his heart, and this is not the affiliation of this life It is a feeling, but countless martyrs in the previous life have proved it to future generations with monuments.
"That's right! Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. We are about to leave our homeland. I hope you will always remember that you are a Jialuo person. Don't abandon your country. Otherwise, no matter how talented you are, I will kill you on the spot "The cold words came out of Lu Xulei's teeth, which made Qiao Bang feel a shiver unconsciously, he knew very well that Lu Xulei was not just talking, but really wanted to kill.
"Never, I always remember who I am." Qiao Bang responded very quickly without thinking.
"Very good, we will stay here temporarily tonight, and leave early tomorrow morning. Li Ruitao, Ren Ziyu!"
"Yes!" The two were puzzled, but they responded in time. Lu Xulei is the commander-in-chief of this trip, and he must obey any orders.
"Tonight, the two of you take turns guarding the truck to ensure that the goods are not stolen. At the same time, you must ensure that the goods are not worn out. You two decide the specific shift time. What I want is the result!" Lu Xulei said calmly.
"Why? He bought this batch of sea fish. We don't have the obligation to take care of the goods, right?" Ren Ziyu took the lead in objecting, pointing at Hu Jiameng and said unceremoniously. It's really a head iron.
"It doesn't matter. Since it's the goods I chose, I can just watch it alone. Don't disturb everyone's rest." Hu Jiameng was also afraid that Lu Xulei would get mad again, so he came forward to mediate and calm everyone's emotions. After all, from the beginning to the end, he didn't feel that he was a member of the Southern Territory Legion, but just a single person who accompanied everyone to act together.
"Since it's a group, it shouldn't be too clear. You and Li Ruitao are on duty tonight, and someone else will be on duty tomorrow night, even me. If you don't want to guard the goods, then I'll be here tonight!" Lu Lu Xu Lei's face was full of disappointment. There was no contempt in the eyes of Ren Ziyu, but only pity and abandonment. This scene was clearly captured by Qiao Bang.
"No, since it's a fair choice, I'm willing to guard the supplies." Ren Ziyu's voice was clear and calm, his tone firm and unquestionable, and he looked towards Lu Xulei without flinching.
"Okay, I'm quite interested in Brother Hu's sea fish. I'll keep it tonight, but the ugly thing is, I want to pick a fish out for grilling tomorrow. I'll just like this one. The grilled fish I made tastes good. Poor~" Li Ruitao saw that the atmosphere was serious, so he interrupted Qiu Wuhui and Yu Yifei, who were hesitant to speak. He had readily accepted such an arrangement and did not intend to provoke Lu Xulei's authority.
"Of course, I'm good at grilling fish. Why don't I grill it for everyone before leaving tomorrow? Everyone has worked hard along the way, so I'm sorry." Lu Xulei and Ren Ziyu's bodies were no longer so stiff, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
The smell of gunpowder brought about by the quarrel dissipated in a few words. Everyone packed up their mood and walked towards the gate of Cangjie City. Zhou Zhengyong watched coldly and did not express his position. He did not show the pass token of the Benlei Chamber of Commerce until the gate, which is strange to say. Previously, the soldiers of the city defense army, who had been inspected very strictly, let them go immediately after seeing the token of the Benlei Chamber of Commerce, and even the inspection procedures were saved.
The relationship between Benlei Chamber of Commerce and Tianduanya, Wanshouzong, and Huasheng Temple has always been very good. Yanluan Chamber of Commerce has close contacts with Danzong, Tangmen, and various small sects affiliated to Danzong. All major chambers of commerce have backers However, it is impossible to maintain the stable development of the chamber of commerce with pure interests, and most of them are maintained by in-laws. Only by opening up all the relationships can it be unimpeded in the north and south of the empire.
The wind, sand and rocks were blowing randomly, Qiao Bang silently urged the spiritual power coat to release the wind element spiritual power to isolate the sand and dust, so that the eyes would not be confused by the sand and stones, and the road ahead could not be seen clearly. It's really desolate, as far as the eye can see, there are houses and city walls repaired from hard rocks. It is true that few people move here in such bad weather. No one walks on the streets, and most people live in stone houses. Joe Bang and his party looked very conspicuous, and Qiao Bang always felt that there were many pairs of eyes staring at him, which was very uncomfortable.
Cangjie City is located at the junction of the Promir Mountains and the Jiakamil Mountains. The altitude is extremely high but there are no mountains to cover it. To the west of Cangjie City is a vast desert. It is impossible for ordinary people to cross this man-eating desert. Warriors can use their spiritual power to communicate with the bridge between heaven and earth to find the water element aura between heaven and earth to replenish water. The special geographical environment and climate have created this frontier fortress, and it has also become a natural barrier. The military forces of the two countries want to wade through this warehouse Limo Desert is extremely difficult, whether it is a test for soldiers or whether the supply can keep up is a problem.
Because of this, although the two countries have experienced various conflicts and confrontations over the years, they have not actually launched large-scale wars. This is not only because it is difficult to break through, but more importantly, once a war is provoked, Only the defeat of one side can recover the cost invested by the other side, and the Loulan Dynasty has been the losing side for more than 200 years. This is precisely because the Loulan Dynasty respected freedom and the people formed a warlord regime. The Loulan royal family also acquiesced in the looting of bandits on the border, and the death of these desperate forces in the hands of the soldiers of the Jialuo Empire. The short-sighted royal family only valued the loss of their own interests, but underestimated the gradual decline of the national fortune. It is no longer the case that it will be difficult to risk everything to launch a large-scale war.
Qiu Wuhui told Qiao Bang all these. Qiao Bang endured the wind and sand all over the sky, and his spiritual power coat became more and more solid, resisting the invasion of sand and stone from all directions, chewing on Qiu Wuhui's words, trying to figure out the deep meaning.
Under the leadership of Zhou Zhengyong, everyone came to a stone house. The structure of the building is extremely simple, and the outside is made of rocks. The load-bearing columns seem to be withered spirit plants coated with wax. Rules, but solid enough, visible to the naked eye and durable, it is a better place to live in this harsh environment.
He skillfully raised his identity card, and passed the information that could prove his identity to the owner of the stone house. After some skilled docking work, the owner of the stone house opened the door and left, leaving this stone house to them, which also made everyone feel happy. Are no longer hanging.
"Okay, you guys go to rest first, Ren Ziyu and I are in charge of taking care of the supplies." Li Ruitao waved his hands, with a death-defying expression on his face, and then pushed the door out, Ren Ziyu was not to be outdone, pushed the door with one hand and walked out with difficulty , the strong wind was blowing into the stone house, and it stopped after the door was completely closed.
Everyone was looking for a place to live, Yu Yifei knocked on the door and approached Lei Tao and Hu Jiameng, discussing that everyone would take turns to replace the two on duty today, and with Hu Jiameng's consent, Lei Tao remained unmoved, closed the door and sat opposite Qiao Bang, and that was it Keep staring at Qiao Bang.
Qiao Bang, who was already exhausted, didn't care about Lei Tao's fire-breathing eyes, and lay down directly on the soft pine bed, gradually fell into a deep sleep, and even snored.
……
The sand and gravel covering the sky and the sun outside the stone house are rolling and flying, and the whistling wind seems to never stop. The temperature difference between day and night in the Kulimo desert is extremely large, and there are few people on the street. Standing upright between heaven and earth, they are like landmarks, stubborn and proud.
"I think this Cangjie City is because the stones are worthless. I don't feel sorry for being looted by the soldiers of the Loulan Dynasty. It is not as legendary as you said, and it is also known as the city of heroes. It is a place that even spirit beasts don't want to visit. It’s better to leave as soon as possible.” Lin Yihuan raised his head and said, the spiritual power coat that had condensed into countless tiny ice crystal particles around his body surface, and the wind and sand blowing head-on was blocked by the ice crystals, making a crackling sound.
"Young master, please slow down, the old slave can't keep up with your footsteps." The one-year-old man behind him bent forward and followed behind Lin Yihuan.
"Grandma Tong, didn't I say we should hurry up?" Lin Yihuan was a little impatient, and turned to look at Tong Ran who was walking slowly. This made it hum uncontrollably.
The four treasures of the Hall of Souls, the soul-destroying tripod, the soul-destroying bell, the heart-breaking bell, and the bone-cracking flute, are compatible with each other, and they can interact with each other within a radius of ten miles. This is why Lin Yihuan is so anxious. She vaguely sensed something. The people who mastered the heart-breaking bell and bone-cracking flute in the Hall of Souls were all appointed by her to stay in the hall. At this time, she was able to have such a strong reaction. Yes, could it be the long-lost Dementor Cauldron?
The soul-hunting cauldron that my mother had been thinking about before she was alive, the treasure that countless generations of palace masters spent energy and time looking for, was actually in this desolate frontier fortress.
Lin Yihuan is not stupid, she wants to find out the approximate location of the soul-destroying cauldron first, observe the opponent's strength, and then send the palace envoy here, there is no need to do it by herself, she just needs to confirm that it is correct, after all, a treasure can only be absorbed by one person. If the soul is not strong enough to forcibly grasp it, it will be backlashed by the souls of the hall masters and elders of the past. This is what my mother reminded repeatedly before her death.
"Young master, you must be careful in this desolate border. There are not many gentle and pure people who come here. Everything must be safe, and everything should be careful..." Tong Ran followed slowly , his face is covered with wrinkles, he looks very old, he seems to be easily blown away by the wind, but there is no sand and stone around his body that can penetrate, and the spiritual power coat is as if nothing is there, it is really amazing.
"My soul-destroying clock has responded!" Lin Yihuan shouted angrily with his hands on his hips.
"What? Could it be that the dementing tripod has fallen here?" Tong Ran lost her composure, and suddenly regained her energy, straightening her back in the wind and sand.
"Yeah! I didn't expect that there would be unexpected gains from this trip. Granny Tong, come with me!" Lin Yihuan jumped up and down a few times, rubbing his sore shoulders, standing outside the Hall of Souls, in the place where he grew up with him. In front of Tong Ran, she did not put on a disguise.
"Be careful sailing for thousands of years, young master, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, don't act impulsively, think twice before doing everything!" Tong Ran was only agitated for a moment before returning to calmness, she knew that this ghostly place would actually be sensitive When it comes to the soul-destroying cauldron, it is very likely that it is not an ownerless thing, and it is very likely that it has been absorbed into the body.
You must know that the treasures of the Hall of Souls can be absorbed into the spiritual knot space in the body as a contract of soldiers and spirits through the two major secret methods. Even if you have not mastered the secret methods, you can still accommodate the treasures in the body, and even place the sea of spiritual consciousness to warm them up.There are four known powerhouses in Cangjie City. Although he has already reached the cultivation level of the Holy Spirit Realm, it is quite normal for both of them to be strong in the Holy Spirit Realm.
Tong Ran asked himself that he couldn't deal with the two strong men in the Holy Spirit Realm, let alone the four strong men from the Heavenly Gate.
"Understood, there are people out there, I'm excited." Lin Yihuan sighed helplessly, clenched his hands, looked up at Tong Ran, feeling so unwilling.
"Let's take a close look at the situation first. No matter whether there is a result or not, if you startle the snake, leave quickly. Everything will be answered by the old slave, so don't make a sound."
"Yeah." Lin Yihuan nodded repeatedly.
The master and servant slowly approached the stone house, and the reaction of the soul-destroying clock on their wrists became more and more violent, which made Lin Yihuan's mood fluctuate even more.
"What are you going to do?" The sudden voice resounded, making Tong Ran's forward pace stagnate, the expression on his face froze instantly, his wrinkled face suddenly became serious, and there were two people behind him who didn't know what to do. I noticed that I couldn't tell the strength of these two people from the breath and pace.
You must know that Tong Ran is a strong man in the Holy Spirit Realm, and his spiritual power is already strong enough to form an oscillating aura around his body, and he can clearly distinguish the sound of sand and stone flying and falling and breaking within hundreds of meters around him.But under such circumstances, the two people behind him suddenly appeared, and he didn't notice it at all.
"Who?" Tong Ran turned around abruptly, her eyes brightened, and she subconsciously protected Lin Yihuan behind her back. She made many mistakes and offended many aristocratic families in her middle age, and she disappeared for forty years. Having been bitten for ten years and afraid of the well rope, Tong Ran still remained cautious, for fear that his enemies would recognize him, so he did not take any elixir, but he was still apprehensive.
"You don't need to know, let me ask you why you came to my private house?" The man looked clear and bright, and the old woman beside him looked old. .
"I'm sorry, the wind and sand is too big, I recognized the wrong home, thank you for reminding me, I interrupted." Tong Ran refrained from attacking, the spiritual fluctuations of the two people in front of him are not strong, but they are good at hiding their breath, the strength of the two is definitely not strong Generally speaking, it is roughly judged that it is not suitable for a strong person in the Spirit Emperor Realm to fight here. If four strong people in the Spirit Saint Realm are provoked, they will not be able to retreat unscathed by then.
"A strong person in the Holy Spirit Realm will also recognize the wrong family. Do you think I am a three-year-old child and deceive me at will?" The man sneered, his spiritual power suddenly rose to the peak, and he raised his arm falsely, ready to fight.
Seeing that this posture was useless to explain clearly, Tong Ran pulled Lin Yihuan's hand back without hesitation, her lips buzzing, reminding Lin Yihuan to use treasures to protect herself and to deal with attacks at any time.
"You two little friends don't need to be nervous. The old man has indeed admitted his mistake and has no intention of arguing with you. Why don't you take a step back?"
"Why are you still following behind?" The door of the room was pushed open from the stone house, and Yu Yifei and Hu Jiameng walked out. The two of them immediately saw clearly that the two standing outside the door were Ni Rui and Hu Jiameng. Shu Yuhan's voice suddenly pierced into everyone's ears. This is a sonic technique of Danzong, which can disturb the mind with spiritual power and spiritual power.
"We just want to protect you, we didn't disturb your life, we just worried about you, we have no other thoughts." Shu Yuhan responded cautiously, while Ni Rui stared at Tong Ran and Lin Yihuan intently, when the mother-in-law and the little girl appeared in front of her It's so strange, haunting in the dusty environment, there must be some plot.
"I don't need any protection from you, I just want you to disappear before my eyes and disappear from my world!" Yu Yifei's anger was ignited, and the suffocation in his chest and abdomen during the day suddenly exploded, following Ni Rui's line of sight To Tong Ran.
Tong Ran heard the two people quarreled and heard some tricks. The two groups knew each other but were not familiar with each other, and the relationship was not very good. He couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. Lead Lin Yihuan out of here.
"Who the hell are you? If you don't report yourself, I'll attack with all my might!" Ni Rui turned a deaf ear to Yu Yifei's roar. In his opinion, this was a sign of inexperienced people, losing his temper. If you can solve the problem, what do you need strength for?
Tong Ran didn't answer Ni Rui's question directly, but said in a cold voice: "It's the four guards in Cangjie City that I'm afraid of, not you mediocre juniors. Since I want to compete, I won't shirk, and I will accompany you to the end !"
After saying that, Tong Ran slowly raised his arms, and the knuckles on both hands shone brightly. Nine rays of light swayed and flickered in the dust-ravaged environment, but everyone saw it very clearly. Condensed in the palm of Ran's right hand, the black light gradually condensed, and after careful identification, one can find that it is actually a scepter, the whole body is as black as ink, an indescribable evil.
The most frightening thing is not the scepter, but the nine spiritual knots on Tong Ran's palm have left the knuckles, and the knuckles are attached to the top of the scepter, just like gems are inlaid on the bumps on the scepter, black paint The bright light erupted from the top of Qi's scepter, which actually caused Tong Ran's aura to explode.
Such a strange picture made everyone breathless. No one had encountered the practice of breaking away from the knuckles after encountering a spiritual knot. It can be said that it completely violated the laws of the world.
However, Ni Rui and Shu Yuhan have fought for a long time, and have seen too many strange people, so they are no longer surprised. Their eyes did not stay on the scepter, but on Tong Ran's eyes. The turbid eyes were black and red, which was extremely abnormal, as if a raging flame had been stirred up in the dark night, threatening to start a prairie fire.
"Hall of Souls..." Ni Rui uttered his judgment with difficulty, his body trembling unconsciously, the moment he said it, he completely sealed the sea of consciousness, his hands kept turning, and the spirit insects in his sleeves were raging regardless of the sand and stones When they were all stirred up, two black clouds formed, which was very terrifying.Shu Yuhan no longer restrained himself when he heard the words. He pointed high at the sky with one hand and then suddenly pointed down and pointed. When it grows out, it twists into a whole wall of trees by chance, and jumps onto the crown of the tree while Yu Yifei and Hu Sigui are completely separated, looking down at Tong Ran and Lin Yihuan.
"I didn't expect anyone to recognize the Hall of Souls. It seems that you are not as young as you appear on the surface. You are good at handling insects. Which one are you from the Wen, Qu, Ni, and Liao families?" Tong Ran felt a basin of cold water pouring from the top of his head. Next, there was a chill all over the body. The worm master and the plant master had always been at odds, but the two cooperated closely and tacitly, which was obviously not an ordinary relationship. The worm master still needs to go all out, and the other plant master's method is not bad at first glance, why is it so unlucky to meet such a strong opponent by the young master's side?
"You and I are both at the same level, and I don't think I am weaker than the people in the Hall of Souls. You are like aphids, you like to eat other people's spiritual power, and you also like to plant sigils on people. It’s really a great disaster in the Lingwu world, so why not fight here, I also want to see how insidious and cunning the old seniors in the Hall of Souls are!” Ni Rui responded lightly, but his voice was extremely high-pitched, both for Yu Yifei and for Yu Yifei. Tell Lu Xulei in the stone house that you don't have to be polite to those who face the Hall of Souls, and it is not shameful to bully more than less. This is the conclusion drawn from many years of fighting.
"It's okay to fight, and please report your names, and I can be a sensible ghost." Tong Ran's thoughts turned sharply in his mind, and he chose to show his weakness to the enemy, and please enter the urn. Now that he is outside the influence of the scepter, he has already prepared The worst plan is to abandon the army and protect the commander. Lin Yihuan must be let out of here.
"Who made the mistake?" While moving around, Lu Xulei suddenly appeared, and a hole was opened in the tree wall in the blink of an eye. Seeing an old woman holding a scepter in her hand, invisible pressure suddenly fell on her shoulders. Surprised in my heart, I immediately released my nine spiritual knots, and my breath was no longer suppressed, and it was released from the inside out.
Tong Ran took a deep breath, she was very familiar with this person in front of her, isn't this the brigade commander Lu Xulei of the Northern Army?How could it appear here?Wasn't it rumored that he died accidentally?How do you stand here so well?
Thinking of this, Tong Ran lowered his head unconsciously, for fear that Lu Xulei would recognize him. Although his face changed drastically, it should be difficult to recognize him, but Tong Ran still decided not to expose himself. After all, this person in front of him was once in the snowy area Chasing her for three days and two nights, treating her as a foreign spiritual warrior who crossed the border, he was no match back then, and now he is not completely sure of winning.
Bitterness lingers in my heart, my heart constricts for a while, and the luck in the secret path is extremely bad. The two strong people in the Holy Spirit Realm and the three strong people in the Spirit Emperor Realm in front of them are already in a one-sided situation, and they must flee from this place immediately. Go find it again.
It doesn't matter if I die, the young master can't die, Yu Xiao's kindness to me is too great, and I have to repay it even if I am smashed to pieces!
"Are you dumb? Who are you? Don't tell me that I misunderstood the location. Whoever lives in Cangjie City can't hide it from me!" Lu Xulei snorted coldly, pretending to say it, but actually didn't know it at all. The distribution of forces in Cangjie City is just for bluffing here, and he doesn't dare to take the initiative to provoke a battle. In the eyes of outsiders, he is a dead person, and he doesn't want to let the world know that he is still alive, which will cause trouble and cause more trouble. Troubled.
"I really can't argue with my mouth. I really recognized the wrong family and went the wrong way. I don't intend to offend." Tong Ran smiled wryly, put down the scepter, and looked at Lu Xulei with her eyes. It would be Lu Xulei's opponent, and the person who almost became the suzerain of the Wanshou sect would be mediocre.
"Don't listen to her nonsense, she is from the Hall of Souls!" Ni Rui reminded again, warning Lu Xulei not to be soft-hearted.
"Since you've made a mistake, it's a misunderstanding. You guys leave quickly and don't disturb my rest!" Lu Xulei turned a deaf ear, stood with his hands behind his back, and with a big wave of his hands, a strong wave of air surged. A gust of wind blew away Tong Ran and Lin Yihuan.
Of course, this is why Tong Ran tried his best to cooperate, otherwise he wouldn't be so embarrassed.
"Senior! How can you let the tiger go back to the mountain? The people in the Hall of Souls are insidious and cunning, and they will do everything they can. What will they do if they do something wrong in the future? It's easy to hide a spear and it's hard to guard against it!" Ni Rui couldn't help blurting out, facing the big Lu Xulei, who was in his teens, still found it extremely absurd.
"What do you know? Do you want to attract the four guards from the Shangtianmen? If it weren't for the sandy weather, it is not easy to expose the pressure of spiritual power, I would not have shown my strength just now. Do you want Yu Yifei to be involved in the turmoil you caused? Wan Wan As soon as he was stationed at the Tianmen Gate, Yifei was killed by mistake, do you accept the consequence or do I accept it?" Lu Xulei's voice was no longer cold, and as he asked Ni Rui back, there was a hint of redness in his eyes.
"Then let the people in the Hall of Souls leave like this? Don't be afraid of thieves stealing or worrying about them. How do you know if the target of the Hall of Souls is you? Or Qiao Bang?" Influence, justify and strive unceremoniously.
"If it weren't for the fact that your husband and wife are not strong and have no malicious intentions, but just followed behind without doing anything, I would have attacked you long ago. I don't know whether the people in the Hall of Souls are targeting me and Qiao Bang, but you two You really want to make your son who may have been separated for more than 30 years recognize his relatives, don't you?" Lu Xulei frowned slightly, restraining his impatience, and responded in a deep voice.
"Yuhan and I do have this intention, but it will never affect you. We just want to protect Fei'er, and hope that senior will accommodate you." Ni Rui tentatively responded. Can fall back on the next best thing.
"It's hard for an upright official to break up housework. I won't interfere with you secretly protecting Yu Yifei, but if it affects your actions, I must take action and seriously injure you." Lu Xulei flicked his sleeves and looked back sideways, and coldly glanced at Ni Ruihe standing beside him Shu Yuhan on the canopy was obviously threatening. After saying that, he opened the wooden door and walked into the stone house, ignoring Hu Jiameng and Yu Yifei during the whole process, and restrained his breath immediately.
Still wanted to say something, but seeing Yu Yifei's disgusted eyes, Ni Rui had a lot of things to say, but was blocked by those piercing eyes, and his heart sank a little.
The yellow sand that covered the sky and the sun could not stop blowing, Ni Rui and Shu Yuhan watched Yu Yifei turn and leave, their hearts were infinitely desolate and they didn't know where to pour them out, they hugged each other for comfort, although as spirit warriors they don't have to worry about the cold Feng Lengyue, but the coolness in his heart could not be restrained to swell outwards, Ni Rui's shoulders shook twice unconsciously, Shu Yuhan in his arms became unconscious again, and his misty eyes dimmed again, Ni Rui only felt that the coolness was even worse, Physically and mentally exhausted.
……
"Young Master, are you alright?" Tong Ran dragged Lin Yihuan to escape, and did not relax until tens of miles outside Cangjie City. His mental power spread outwards and he did not feel any spirit warriors following him, so he relaxed a little, and asked with concern. road.
"I'm fine, but it's Granny Tong. Are you alright?" Lin Yihuan let go of Tong Ran's hand, looked up at Tong Ran, and shook his head in response.
"It's okay, I thought we were going to fight, but fortunately Brigadier Nalu didn't make a fuss, he saved his life, but I feel a little tired, just find a secluded place to rest."
Seeing Tong Ran's pale face, Lin Yihuan nodded quickly, but he didn't think it was all right. He supported Tong Ran and continued to walk forward. After walking a few steps, he spit out a mouthful of black blood, his breathing became short of breath, and the forest blocked him. The invasion of wind and sand also made Tong Ran feel better, and did not inhale the sand and dust into his mouth and nose.
"Grandma Tong! Why do you seem to be okay? Hurry up and sit down and adjust your breath!" Lin Yihuan was shocked, and hurriedly supported Tong Ran with both hands, feeling even more worried. Lin Yihuan, who had not had many relatives to accompany him since childhood It was Tong Ran who was by her side, and she would never allow her relatives to leave again in front of her.
"It's really okay. This is just a sequela of my fusion of the spirit knot with the soldier spirit, not the harm that group of people caused to me." Tong Ran was burning inside, and his bones all over his body felt sore, but the mentally strong She stabilized the injury within a few breaths, and her breathing returned to the original rhythm.
"Who are those people? They forced you, mother-in-law, to fuse your spiritual knots to deal with it?" Lin Yihuan endured for a long time, and finally expressed the question in his heart.
"The former brigade commander of the Northern Territory Army, Lu Xulei, almost became a powerful spiritual warrior of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect Master. If he hadn't led the army to conquer the Ice Crystal Snow Demon, he might have returned to the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect to succeed him. Inferior. It is rumored that he died in the attack of the three-headed crystal dragon in the northern border, but now he is encountered here, and he looks intact. The outside world thought he was dead, but now he appears here."
"It turned out to be him? Then will he return to the northern border to regain military power? Wouldn't it spoil the next deployment?" Lin Yihuan was taken aback, his little head immediately realized the stakes, and immediately asked the most concerned question.
"I don't know. The purpose of appearing in Cangjie City is obviously to go to the Loulan Dynasty. He probably won't return to the northern border in a short time, but I think Lu Xulei is very cautious, and he probably won't show his face to let the world know that he is still alive."
"He has a curse of life and death on him, but I can't control it, otherwise I just drove him to use for me."
"Impossible! The young master is not strong enough, so don't rashly drive the strong in the Holy Spirit Realm. That is definitely not something that can be done now, and it will definitely be backlashed! Although the young master has the spiritual power reserves of the Spirit Emperor Realm, after all, he did not cultivate by himself." Come on, the control of mental power is still not enough to control the thick solid spiritual power in the body, and we must not do anything according to our temper!"
"I know, I just feel very kind. The life and death curse on Brigadier Lu seems to be planted by my mother, and it is exactly the same as my spiritual power fluctuations." Lin Yihuan comforted Tong Ran and said that he would not be stupid. She stroked Tong Ran's back lightly, and comforted Tong Ran in turn.
"Did the soul-destroying clock feel among those people just now?" Tong Ran recalled and asked the most concerned question.
"No, but the reaction in the stone house was relatively strong. Just now, the soul-destroying clock has pointed to the roof of the stone house. It must be absorbed by someone."
"Don't think about it, don't get close now! There are plant masters and insect masters in that group. You and I are definitely not able to compete. Those two are extremely good at long-term combat. One person can be worth a thousand troops. I have no way to deal with it! Tong Ran interrupted seriously, his eyes fell on Lin Yihuan like a knife, this time Tong Ran did not obey the distinction between master and servant, but directly expressed his attitude.
"Good Granny Tong, I will never joke about my life! Shall we find a place to rest here, or set off for Jinyang City now?"
"Don't worry, let's start after those people leave Cangjie City. Now follow me back to Cangjie City and find a resting place to adjust my breath. I'm not in a good state right now, and I need to adjust."
"Okay, I'll follow Grandma Tong's order." Lin Yihuan smiled playfully, his appearance was extremely cute.
The two master and servant walked out of the woods, turned back to Cangjie City again, and disappeared in the endless sand and dust.
This sandstorm ravages the vast land, as if it is blowing endlessly, it seems to give every fragile individual a warning, let them clearly know their own insignificance, this barren area of Kurimo, there is no room for chance speculators.
Under the cruel wind and sand, there is a gentle embrace of stone walls.
There are always people who move forward fearlessly, and there are always people who don't care about the consequences.
Riding the wind and waves, overcoming thorns and thorns!
