nine coffins

Chapter 252
(A new volume begins, and a new journey! Mountains and Rivers may still have many shortcomings, but strive to write perfectly, the story of Heishui has just begun, please write with me!)

Western Black Water is a strange continent within the boundary of Sea Desolate China.It got its name from the black water river that runs through the entire continent and flows for thousands of miles.

The big meandering river is rich in black rocks at the bottom, and the water looks as black as ink from a distance, so it is called Heishui.

At this time, it was midnight, and the cold moon hung high.The entire Blackwater Continent was full of chills, and the entire land seemed to be filled with a gloomy ghostly aura.

"Wow - wow -" Several old crows flew towards the cold moon, and several bats flew out of the cave.

The long river of black water, the water is as black as ink, meanders like a dragon, and flows westward.

There are ancient trees and strange rocks.

Beside a dark lonely mountain, a dazzling brilliance made the night even more strange.It was a magic circle, and after a flash, a white figure appeared, it was Amu who came from the ancient formation gate in the Northern Cold Sect.

As expected of the gate of the ancient formation domain, it only took Amu half an hour to cross the two great domains of Beihuang and Heishui.There is some time difference between the two large domains, and it is midnight in Blackwater at this time.

The feeling of Western Black Water is completely different from that of Northern Wilderness.There seems to be a little more gloom and lifelessness here, and less coldness and chill in the Northern Wilderness.

"It is indeed the territory of the Immortal Ghost Sect!" Thinking of the Wugui, the Ninth Elder, and the later Fuhunzi who made troubles in the Northern Cold Sect, Amu couldn't help sneering, and said secretly: "The temperament of this area and the Immortal Ghost Sect complement each other very well."

It is said that the area of ​​Heishui Continent is the last among the five regions, and the sects of self-cultivation on Heishui Continent are relatively single. None of the previous ones, and the remaining small sects can all be counted as branches of the Immortal Ghost Sect.

Therefore, in fact, the entire Blackwater Continent is the territory of the Immortal Ghost Sect.This is much more powerful and direct than the means used by the Arctic Fairy Sea to control the Northern Wilderness.

Looking at the torrential black water, Amu remembered that Kuxinzi once said that this black water was to be poured into the Eternal Sea in the west.It's just that I don't know what the sea area with the same name as the five domains looks like.

Rising against the wind, Amu went straight upstream along the Heishui River.

At this time, Amu didn't fully understand where he was, but he expected that as long as he went upstream, he would not be farther away from the Immortal Ghost Sect.

As he walked and watched, Amu passed many towns overnight, some were prosperous, some were ruined, and there seemed to be two secular dynasties that were similar in size to the Beiguo and Yunxiguo on Beihuang.

However, Amu knew that all the people in Western Heishui believed in the Immortal Ghost Sect and called it the Holy Sect.If we only talk about the foundation of secular incense, probably only the ancient Brahma Temple in Chongling in the east can compete with the Immortal Ghost Sect.

At dawn in the east, Amu had traveled thousands of miles.The magic consciousness spread out, and a hundred miles away, there was another ancient small city.

When he first arrived in Heishui, Amu was not familiar with everything. Naturally, he had to understand the situation first, and also asked about the specific location of the Immortal Ghost Sect.Therefore, Amu decided to enter this small town for a short stay.

One hundred miles, for the current Amu, it can be said to be reached in an instant.

Standing two or three miles outside the city, Amu opened his eyes and watched.What Amu didn't expect was that there were still four or five monks in such an inconspicuous ancient town, and one of them was actually a high-level Dzogchen monk.

This was a big surprise to Amu. It seems that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers above the black water, and the level of monks is relatively high!If it is placed above the Northern Wilderness, such a town will at most occasionally have monks who are beginning to cultivate to the fourth or fifth level.

Amu walked slowly towards the city gate, and there were two veterans standing at the gate, looking lazily, as if they had not woken up.But such a small town is not bad if there are people guarding it.

Early in the morning, there were not many people entering the city, occasionally there were three or two people, and the veterans at the gate didn't even look at them.

Amu smiled slightly. Sometimes he likes some old small towns, because they remind him of the quiet and simple Liu Town.

"Western Black Narcissus Ghost Sect, this time I also came for Liu Zhen." Amu's heart suddenly turned cold.

Because he will never forget the nearly thousand ghosts of the folks in Liu Town.

Those innocent souls are still quietly lying in Amu's Qiankun Ruyi bracelet, and one day Amu will let the Immortal Ghost Sect be buried with them.

Entering the city, there are not many pedestrians on the street, only a few hawkers selling breakfast and a teahouse with a small restaurant that just opened.

Amu walked around two streets alone, and the number of pedestrians on the street gradually increased.

The customs of Heishui in the west seem to be slightly different from those in Beihuang.

The people here are shorter and thinner, not as tall and strong as the northern wilderness people, and their faces are a little pale, which probably has something to do with the always gloomy sky in Heishui.

Moreover, I don't know if it is because of the relationship of the Immortal Ghost Sect, Amu always has some resistance to the Heishui people. He always feels that the Heishui people give people an inexplicable ghostly aura.

However, Amu himself also laughed at whether he hated the house, because those Heishui people are ordinary mortals.

After turning around again, Amu went straight to a grocery store.

In fact, Amu's magic consciousness has already locked on this grocery store, because there is a monk who is a high-level Dzogchen monk in this store.This is probably the most powerful person around thousands of miles away.

Amu didn't care about other things, but instinctively felt that he might get more useful information by contacting or getting close to such a monk.

This grocery store is not big, with only one door, it seems that there are only two rooms, and it doesn't look like one of the best shops in this small town.

"Ghost Note", looked up at the plaque, Amu frowned, and said to himself, "Why did you choose such a name?"

However, although Amu felt that the name of the store seemed a bit distasteful and it was still early, there were quite a few people shopping.Amu stopped for less than half a quarter of an hour, and then four or five guests came, and then they all left satisfied.

Amu couldn't help smiling, it seems that this small shop has a lot of knowledge.Thinking in his heart, Amu slowly walked into the small shop.

At this time, Amu was still in the same white robe, there was nothing too special about it, and he didn't deliberately suppress his cultivation.

In such a land, there are no high-level monks, and whether they can suppress their cultivation, Amu is a mortal in their eyes.Because the level gap is too big, they don't see through Amu at all.

Entering the small shop, Amu glanced at it. There were all kinds of things in the shop, including agricultural tools, fishing gear, and daily necessities.

However, Amu set his eyes on the wall on the west side.

Not because of anything else, because everything on this wall is related to monks, and it glows faintly.Although in Amu's opinion, the level of those items is not high, but to be able to hang so many things from the world of cultivating immortals in such a small shop, it can be seen that this small shop is by no means ordinary, and most of them have some fairy background.

"What does the guest officer need? Don't look at my small shop, but in this Tulun City, if there is something that my house doesn't have, it's not a boast of the little old man, so you don't have to go to the second one!"

There were two guys in the store, and the one who came was an old guy, dressed in black cloth, about 50 years old, an ordinary person.

"Oh?" Amu smiled and didn't say much, knowing that this was a businessman's trick.

"Looking at your appearance and clothes, you are not a local, are you?" The old man looked at Amu carefully and said.

"No!" Amu replied, and at the same time, he suddenly saw something on the west wall, his brows were slightly frowned, and his expression instantly became complicated.

When he heard that Amu was really not a local, the old man didn't pay attention to Amu's expression, but he seemed to be more energetic.

"Guest officer, are you planning to go on a pilgrimage to the holy city?" the old man asked enthusiastically.

"Pilgrimage?" Amu listened intently, quite interested in this statement, but his eyes hadn't moved away from the west wall.

"Yes! Every four years, on July [-]th, tens of thousands of people from Heishui will go to the holy city to make a pilgrimage, praying for the blessing of Lord Guizun! What's more, July [-]th this year is the grand ceremony of the saints of the holy sect. I don’t know how many people from Heishui flocked here just to see the beauty of the saint? Why, guest officer, you don’t know?” The old man looked at Amu with some surprise.

"I'm ignorant and ignorant!" Amu smiled faintly, "However, you can go and have a look!"

Amu knew that the Holy Sect in Heishui's population was the Immortal Ghost Sect. Since it was the Saintess Ceremony of the Immortal Ghost Sect, how could Amu miss it?If possible, Amu would like to make a big fuss.

The old man was a little surprised at first that as a Heishui native, he still didn't know about the Saintess Ceremony of the Immortal Ghost Sect, because no matter how much he thought about it, he would never have thought that the man in white in front of him came from the Northern Wilderness thousands of miles away. Come, and presumably this old man doesn't even know what there is in the Northern Wilderness Continent.Perhaps in his eyes, Black Water is the whole world.

However, when Amu said that he wanted to go to see the Grand Priestess Ceremony of the Immortal Ghost Sect, the old man couldn't care less. No matter who he was, his business opportunity came anyway.

Because anyone who is going to go on a pilgrimage to the holy city must need some special things.Talismans, grain pills, ghost incense and so on.

"It's time to have a look. If you go to the holy city, you will never regret it in your life. There are still two months left. Although the time is tight, you can get some things in my store, so that you can catch up with the Holy Maiden Ceremony." The ghost talisman in our small shop is quite high grade, as long as you paste one, you can travel three thousand miles a day." The old man is busy selling.

"Oh?" However, Amu didn't seem to have much reaction to the old man's words.

Only then did the old man notice that Amu had been staring at an ornament on the west wall.

Following Amu's gaze, the old man was taken aback for a moment, and then couldn't help but beam with joy.

"Guest officer, did you like that hanging portrait?" The old man laughed.

"Huh?" Amu heard this, and then retracted his gaze, the expression in his eyes was completely calm.

"Hey!" The old man laughed again, "You are still a guest, you have vision, not a bragging little old man, not to mention the entire city of Toulon, even the entire Blackwater East Region, I am afraid that there is no one that can have a saint like my family." Picture! This picture of a saint is the treasure of our shop! It can keep the family safe, the population prosperous, the three generations rich, and the monks will be born within the five generations!"

"Picture of a saint?" Amu's eyes became slightly complicated again.

Arriving in Heishui for the first time, Amu did not expect to see a picture of a so-called saint in a little-known shop.

"That's right! The picture of the saint!" At this moment, the old man understood that the man in white in front of him was definitely a foreigner, and he might not even be from Heishui, but he didn't know where he came from.

This old guy is indeed an old fritters. One can tell from Amu's expression that Amu has definitely taken a fancy to this picture.If he was looking at other things, the old man would not be so enthusiastic. Only this picture has been hanging in the store for many years, and no one cares about it.

The picture of the saint was originally a very common hanging statue in the Heishui area.Because the Heishui area believes in the Immortal Ghost Sect of Ghost Sect, all the saints of the Immortal Ghost Sect enjoy a very high status in the Heishui area.It is a black water custom to hang statues of saintesses in every family to protect safety.

However, the pictures of saintesses are generally young and beautiful women, some are holding wishful thinking, some are holding two swords, some are coiling two snakes or driving a black crane, all kinds of things, to show the saints' changes and magical powers.

However, only the picture of the saint in the ghost store is very different.
