You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

After descending the mountain, the carriage drove all the way north.

When they passed Jindi, they met the escort team going to the capital. Shi Xiaoliu entrusted the prepared baggage directly to the escort team.

As their group approached the North Land, the surroundings became increasingly desolate.

The sky is blue and the wilderness is vast. Shi Zelan is glad that he is now a practitioner.

If she were an ordinary person, she would probably not come to a place like this even if she was killed.

The oncoming wind and sand slid down the protective barrier, but Shi Xiaoliu blinked involuntarily.

"Let's get off the carriage."

In the carriage, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng spoke almost at the same time.

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan jumped out of the carriage and turned around to see Master Decheng putting the carriage away.

The four of them walked quickly in the wilderness. Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan ran forward quickly, but still fell far behind Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng.

"I didn't expect that the North Land was so desolate. I'm afraid the officials at court didn't put their minds to it."

"There are internal and external troubles. Even if they have the intention, they can only rush to solve the problems at hand."

The figures of their group quickly disappeared at the end of the road.

Three days later, Master Decheng and his party appeared in Shacheng after a long journey. They entered the city gate and paid the fee to enter the city.

We checked into the largest inn in Shacheng and rented the small courtyard of the inn directly.

When they were on their way, they met the escort team and heard them tell the legend about Shacheng.

Not far from Shacheng, it was a border town of a country in ancient times, but many years later, that country disappeared overnight.

The lord of Shacheng at that time also led many people to search for it, but only found a desert.

The city lord died of illness not long after his return, and some things about his homeland were sealed in the records of Shacheng.

After Master Decheng heard the legend at that time, he said to Master Shanzheng: "We don't need to lead them blindly forward. We also go to find the lost motherland."

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan were also somewhat interested in this lost motherland. What kind of disaster could make a country disappear overnight?

They stayed at the inn, and Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng soon discovered that there were no Taoist temples or temples in this city.

They were very surprised and asked the owner of the inn: "We have traveled to many places, but you are the only one in Shacheng who has not seen Taoist temples and temples."

The owner laughed boldly and said: "We people in Shacheng would rather believe in our own ancestors."

Master Shanzheng asked curiously: "Does your city not welcome Taoist priests?"

The owner thought for a while: "Taoist priests and monks probably won't come to our Shacheng.

Our Shacheng is short of water and food, and there are very few outsiders. There are not many guests like you who plan to stay for three days. "

The owner is actually very curious about Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng because they predict that miracles will happen only when they reach the Northland.

They took their two children all the way here on foot, and even when they reached Shacheng, they insisted on continuing to move forward.

The boss looked at the expressions on the faces of Master Decheng and Master Shan Zheng. They had already come such a long way and now they could not persuade them to look back.

After staying in the inn for three days, I had almost learned all the news.

When Decheng Zhenren and his party were leaving, his boss chased them out and said, "If you encounter a place with water on the way, be sure to prepare more water for drinking."

All the way to the north, I saw only wind and sand, not any green.

Decheng Zhenren and his party drifted forward directly. Two days later, they arrived at the boundary of the legendary homeland.

What I saw before me was desolation. Master Decheng and Master Shan Zheng had serious expressions on their faces. Shi Xiaoliu crushed a pill, and countless strange insects crawled out of the sand.

"Is there anything alive underground here?"

Shi Zelan sighed and threw down a purification talisman.

A flash of fire flashed, and the strange insect in front of them stopped moving.

The porcelain bottle that Shi Xiaoliu had taken out was quickly stuffed back into it.

Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng looked at each other. Master Decheng said: "Xiao Liu, Sister Lan, we are raiding the formation now. You don't need elixirs and talismans, just rely on your ability to fight these things."

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan nodded after hearing this. Shi Xiaoliu took out his sword. Wherever the sword light went, countless monster insects were killed.

Shi Zelan initially took out the sword, but she soon replaced it with a brick.

After she smashed countless monster insects with bricks, she changed to a sword.

Wherever the brother and sister's swords crossed, the monster insects were wiped out.

When Shi Zelan saw the strange insect retreating, he said to Shi Xiaoliu on a whim: "Xiaoliu, protect me while I try to use sword energy to set up a killing array."

Shi Xiaoliu agreed to Shi Zelan, and Shi Zelan crushed a spiritual stone, and her sword quickly pointed everywhere.

The killing array was successfully arranged, and Shi Zelan sat down on the ground to meditate and rest.

Master Shan Zheng frowned and looked at her. After she had rested, Master Shan Zheng looked at her and said, "Sister Lan, if you encounter a war, what you just did was too reckless."

Shi Zelan agreed with Zhen Zheng’s words: “Master, I will not make the same mistake.”

"Sister Lan, this is not a wrong decision, but your current cultivation level cannot support your thoughts.

You have good ideas and are in the right direction, but your cultivation level cannot keep up. This is your fatal flaw. "

Shi Zelan immediately understood what Shanzheng said. She looked at Shanzheng and said, "Master, I understand. I will practice hard to improve my cultivation level."

The strange insect was trapped in the killing array. Master Decheng casually pointed his hand towards the ground, revealing a big hole in the ground.

Master Shan Zheng went over to look at the big hole, frowned and said, "It's so empty down there, with only a layer of sand on top. Is our country buried by sand overnight?"

Master Decheng decided to go down the cave to explore the way, and he fell down.

"babble."

The three people on the ground heard him exclaim, and Shi Xiaoliu called out: "Master, how are you?"

There was no sound from the ground. Master Shan Zheng looked into the cave but did not see Master Decheng.

He threw a talisman into the killing array, fire started, and the killing array was broken. Of course, the strange insects were also burned away.

Master Shan Zheng said to Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan: "I want to go down, do you two want to follow?"

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan nodded at the same time: "Uncle (Master), I'll follow."

Master Shanzheng reached out and lifted Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan directly into the hole. Looking at the hole from above, they didn't realize how deep it was.

But when falling down, Shi Zelan felt that the hole was very deep, and when falling down, he heard the chirping of countless birds.

“Don’t listen to the noise.”

After Master Shanzheng reminded him, the sounds of those birds seemed to disappear all of a sudden.

Shi Zelan suddenly became alert. Sure enough, sometimes curiosity can kill people.

When Master Shan Zheng fell down, he also paid attention to the movement around him, and naturally felt something was wrong in the air. (End of chapter)
