I have a long pupil

Chapter 289 Invitation from Xuanhuang

Twelve huge black mist tentacles waved in the air, surrounding Youqian City, and gradually became regular.

It turned into a vortex for a while, and then turned into petals for a while, as if the whole city had turned into a giant thing with twelve tentacles.

"Finally..."

Master Qianji breathed a sigh of relief, full of exhaustion.

Zhang Biao closed his eyes and felt carefully.

He could feel that the range of Youqian City that could turn reality into reality had expanded a bit and became stronger.

They rushed to repair it, not just because of curiosity.

As the defense system of Youqian City, the Twelve Hours Dream Evil is not just as simple as leading people into the residual dream layer.

Without this thing, Youqian City might be targeted by indescribable horrific nightmares in the residual dream layer at any time.

Master Qianji complained from the side: "Youqian City wants to use Mengsha to hunt nightmares as a source of power, but when nightmares enter the city, they will turn into pure resentment."

"The current Youqian City cannot be cleared away at all, and even those idiots from the Demon Kingdom can't be driven away with the power of incense. If we don't take over, this place will turn into an ominous and strange place sooner or later."

After that, he ran to each tower to check, then turned back and said, "Fortunately, you have the spirit-devouring cicada, which can just remove the resentful spiritual energy, and can also be used as a poison vessel to expand the number."

"This twelve-hour dream evil originally had many functions, but now that the rules of the world have changed, most of them can no longer be used. They can only pull people into dreams and catch some little nightmares to replenish their spiritual energy."

"In order to exert its true power, I'm afraid it needs to be transformed."

"Not urgent."

Zhang Biao smiled slightly, and seeing Master Qianji's tired appearance, he quickly took out a few snake soul fruits and handed them over, "We have plenty of time, senior, let's take a rest."

After Master Qianji swallowed the Snake Soul Fruit, his energy improved significantly. His spider eyes were full of excitement, "This Youqian City has more potential than those machine cities in the chessboard world where I am."

"No wonder Xiang Liu wants to seize this thing. If it is completely repaired, he might be able to travel to other realms through the dream world. The significance is simply not trivial. I don't know how much spiritual materials can be saved..."

Yes, this is the meaning of Youqian City.

As an artifact from the previous era that can operate in the residual dream layer, they can use this city to hunt down the evil nightmares transformed by ancient powerful men and find their lost inheritance after they become stronger.

What's even better is that Youqian City is another way to break the boundary.

The journey to break the world is not that simple. The weak will escape death, and even the powerful ones who can break the world in the physical body will still need to consume a lot of spiritual materials.

And if Youqian City can be repaired successfully, not only can it use the rules of turning virtuality into reality, and it can carry resource magic weapons or even physical bodies, but it can also use the feathered Gu to solve the mystery in the womb, which is simply the best weapon to break the world.

Thinking of this, Zhang Biao's face became solemn, "Senior, is the 'Xuanhuang' organization really that powerful?"

Master Qianji nodded when he heard this and said: "The world is vast, and there are many people who defy the will of heaven. There are far more powerful organizations than just 'Xiang Liu'."

"About 'Xuanhuang', I only heard about it from Master accidentally. They are a group of people who seek the truth. They know many secrets of the world and have connections with many big forces. Although they also seek to seize the fruits of the world, their behavior is more gentle. , advocating that everything has a price.”

"For example, the chessboard world was invaded by the Five Turbid Demons many years ago. The Yanjia Sect and another large sect invited 'Xuanhuang' to take action at the cost of harvesting the World Fruit, and escaped this disaster. "

"But this organization has an ancient history. I was not yet born when the crisis occurred, so I don't know much about it."

As he spoke, he asked curiously: "How did you learn about it?"

Seeing Zhang Biao's slight hesitation, he immediately shook his head and said, "Well, I don't dare to provoke this kind of thing. In short, if you can get on the line of 'Xuanhuang', you will have an extra guarantee in the future."

"This world is like a dark forest, where the weak eat the strong, and there are many man-eating beasts. Sometimes, even if you want to pay the price, you may not be able to invite reliable people..."

After listening to Master Qianji's words, Zhang Biao also nodded slightly.

Hu Meiniang is not important. He can crush an old ghost who has just been reincarnated into the second level with one hand.

But the "Xuanhuang" behind it had to make him pay attention.

After walking around the city again, Master Qianji wanted to stay and continue his research, so he returned to the cave with the help of the Twelve Hours Dream Demon.

As soon as he came out, the Gu insect around his waist started buzzing and fluttering its wings.

Zhang Biao knew that this was Tie Yucheng sending him a message that Hu Meiniang was approaching Qingfeng Village.

With a wave of his hand, the Yin-Yang Diagram, the Star Tree, and even the Yin-Yang Five Directions Flags in the cave were all put away.

The Panlong Gourd was also filled to the brim. Fortunately, the Soul-Eating Cicada, which occupies the largest volume, had been placed in Youqian City and could be summoned at any time using the Twelve O'clock Dream Evil.

The reason is that the dragon ginseng takes up too much space.

As another big gain this time, Zhang Biao naturally studied Long Ginseng carefully for a long time.

If you want to eat this thing, it's not that simple.

This object was originally an elixir, but when the demon kingdom was refining it for the second time, a great omen came, and the elixir body was shattered and turned into an evil object.

"Kun" tried his best to collect the remaining elixir body and transform it into this dragon ginseng elixir. Although it is a treasure of the Medicine King level, it is also very evil.

It can plunder the essence of other living beings, especially the essence of vegetation. Once planted, the entire Qingfeng Village for hundreds of miles will be barren of grass, and even the willow spirit will suffer.

Even Daxue Mountain does not meet the conditions, so "Kun" will use any means to seize the coffin cave of the God of the Five Immortals Sect.

Moreover, it is entangled with resentment and can easily lead to chaos in the mind and soul, and it is easy to cause bad luck after taking it.

The so-called ominous things are introduced in Fang Xiangzong's Nuo Mian Teng Slips, which are things that cause turmoil and disasters, and are also called ominous things.

The lowest level of ominous things can easily gather evil spirits and can be used as weapon refining materials, such as the former "Red Rope of the God of Joy" and the gun blade in his invisible hook lock.

The tyrannical and ominous creatures, with their own consciousness, can cause turmoil in an area and appear various terrible signs, such as blood rain from the sky, mold in the well water, etc., which are called "ominous omens".

Even more terrifying, it can even overturn the world.

Although Zhang Biao has not yet obtained the Nuo Mian Tengjian, he knows that the simple way to deal with it is to neutralize it with the magical power of incense.

Therefore, when there are ominous omens in some places, the Incense Sect will hold grand sacrifices to eliminate the disaster.

He had cut a section of root from the dragon ginseng, weighing about five kilograms, and enshrined it in the Liu Temple, where it was washed with incense day and night.

Neutralize the unclean air and you can take it...

.........

While Zhang Biao was meditating, Hu Meiniang was also on the way.

They came on the Eagle Monster. Although the temperature had warmed up, the snow melted and the night wind made it difficult to travel at night. Hu Meiniang's body couldn't bear it at all, so she set off at noon the next day.

They had no sight of the eagle monster, and thick fog obscured their eyes all the way. When they came to the sky above Qingfeng Village, the eagle monster suddenly swooped down, and their sight suddenly became clear.

I saw huge willow trees swaying slightly above the cottage, and the fresh fragrance of vegetation hit my face. Coupled with the small bridges and flowing water, and the neat wooden buildings standing there, it immediately made people feel refreshed.

Hu Meiniang's eyes twitched slightly, "Fellow Taoist Tai Sui, you really know how to enjoy yourself. In troubled times, you can create such a blessed place."

Tie Yucheng quickly shook his head and said: "Master is not a person who is greedy for pleasure. He lives alone in the back mountain cave to repair. The environment is very ordinary. He has repeatedly asked for renovations in the village, but he has refused."

"Oh."

After hearing this, Hu Meiniang was not surprised. She nodded slightly and said, "Everyone is calm in this strange and blessed land. It is not unusual to become a genius in the world." After hearing this, Tie Yucheng asked curiously: "Senior, what does it mean to be a genius in the world? ?”

Hu Meiniang glanced lightly and said, "If you have the opportunity and go far enough, you will naturally know. If you tell me in advance, it may damage your Taoist heart."

Tie Yucheng shook his head with a wry smile and didn't ask any more questions.

In the blink of an eye, an eagle monster has landed in Qingfeng Village.

Yu Ziqing and other senior officials all came out to greet him.

This time, not only Hu Meiniang, but also Hu Yunhai and several elders came as guests.

The Five Immortals Sect has suffered a catastrophe, and there are also problems with the supply of precious medicine for making Zhouche Pills. The two sides need to discuss and find a solution.

"I met Elder Hu."

"I've met Master Yu."

The relationship between the two parties is good, and the meeting was naturally a pleasantries.

As for Hu Meiniang, she went to the back mountain under the leadership of Tie Yucheng.

Both parties pretended not to see it.

They knew that this heavenly being who would give up even the opportunity of the Ancient Yuan Realm came all the way to Qingfeng Village to meet Zhang Biao. The discussion may not be about the Ancient Yuan Realm at all.

Arriving at the foot of the mountain, Zhang Biao was already waiting in person, leading Hu Meiniang to his cave. He simply said welcome, then boiled water and made tea without saying a word.

Hu Meiniang was also very calm. While drinking tea, she looked around calmly.

Zhang Biao narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this.

On the mountain city of the Five Immortals Sect, he had already noticed that this female cultivator had a kind of courage. Even if she was in a dangerous and bad situation, she still had a calm spirit.

This is definitely not something that simple cultivation can achieve.

Thinking of this, he stopped trying and said with a smile: "The place is simple, fellow Taoist, please don't care."

"This is not important."

Hu Meiniang took a light sip of tea and said, "Outside the Cave of the Divine Coffin, I have reached an agreement with fellow Taoist. News changes news. Everything in this world always has a price. Since fellow Taoist has promised, he must fulfill his promise."

"Of course, if you don't want to tell me, you can just say so. I'll leave right now and won't bother you again."

Are all these Xuanhuang people so arrogant...

Zhang Biao smiled in his heart and said calmly, "I'm not untrustworthy, but the importance of the information is asymmetric."

"I can only tell you that the power that made you almost die is a special kind of evil energy that can make people fall into the dream world. The Snow Mountain Demon Kingdom used this to destroy the ceremony."

After hearing this, Hu Meiniang didn't seem surprised. She took a sip of tea and asked, "Mengsha?"

"Is it Wufang, Qiyao, or Jiukui Mengsha?"

"I heard that the demon country is building a city in the dream world. They don't have the ability yet. No matter how powerful the force is, they can't do it. Could it be that fellow Taoist found the ruins of Dimu?"

A series of questions followed step by step.

If he were an ordinary person, he would have been confused by these questions, but Zhang Biao already knew the details of Hu Meiniang, so he was naturally calm.

"Fellow Taoist, you ask too many questions..."

Zhang Biao smiled faintly, took a sip of tea and stopped talking.

Seeing Zhang Biao's attitude, Hu Meiniang was also a little surprised, and her expression became solemn, "Fellow Taoist is indeed extraordinary, but I have no ill intentions. On the contrary, I helped you cover up the news."

"If someone with a heart hears it, my Taoist friend may lose his life!"

There was another verbal test, but Zhang Biao remained calm. He took a sip of tea and suddenly said, "Xiang Liu?"

Hu Meiniang's hand holding the tea cup suddenly froze, and she stared calmly into Zhang Biao's eyes, "Fellow Taoist, you know a lot..."

If she was still a little aloof before going up the mountain, now she was on guard.

Not many people know the news about "Xiang Liu". After all, they have picked fruits in the Ancient Yuan Realm, but once they hear her warning, they can be connected to it, and the meaning is completely different.

Thinking of this, Hu Meiniang also straightened her body, and Zheng Se said, "How did fellow Taoist know this?"

Zhang Biao didn't say much and said with a smile: "This doesn't seem to have anything to do with our agreement, right?"

Hu Meiniang was silent for a moment, "The ruins of Dimu that are still functioning, especially those in the dream world, can cause a bloody storm. Even the entire Ancient Yuan Realm will be destroyed as a result."

"No matter what force is behind Fellow Daoist, believe me, you will never be able to defend it!"

Zhang Biao calmly took a sip of tea and said, "You want to rob?"

There was a smile on his lips, but his eyes were cold.

The Slaughter Cult, the Great Demon of the Five Turbidities, Xiang Liu... Counting carefully, he already had a lot of debts, and the other party's Jindan monk was a peripheral member of "Xuanhuang", and no one would know if he killed him.

As if feeling Zhang Biao's murderous intent, Hu Meiniang burst into laughter, shook her head and said: "We never do anything by force, we only provide suggestions. As for whether you agree or not, it all depends on the fellow Taoist."

"you?"

Zhang Biao asked deliberately. Seeing that Hu Meiniang was unwilling to say anything, he said, "What's your suggestion?"

Hu Meiniang smiled faintly, "It's nothing, just be a ferryman. We will provide protection. From now on, Xiang Liu will no longer do anything at will, and you will have to help us transport people when necessary."

"This condition is very fair. Six ferrymen have agreed before you. It depends on whether you will be the seventh."

"There are already six people?"

Zhang Biao's heart sank, he still underestimated "Xuanhuang".

Xiang Liu did not hesitate to destroy the Longshan Realm to snatch the treasures, but there were already six "Xuanhuang".

How powerful is this force...

But he had to agree. "Xuanhuang" believed that everything has a price. I'm afraid no other organization could negotiate terms with him so calmly.

Thinking of this, Zhang Biao nodded without hesitation and said: "Yes, I agree. You can tell me the origin of fellow Taoist."

"Our name is 'Xuanhuang'."

Hu Meiniang's tone was calm, but her eyes were extremely firm, "This is an organization that spans all realms. As for what exactly 'Xuanhuang' is, you will know later."

"In half a year, someone will go to the depths of the Remnant Dream Realm to look for something. I will contact you then. The shipping fee is some information about the Beiyin Mountain in the Ancient Spirit Realm."

"If this can be completed successfully, you will be the seventh ferryman of 'Xuanhuang'!"

The other party said it lightly, but Zhang Biao knew that with such favorable conditions, this "ferryman" was by no means that easy to be employed.

　And at night
