"call……"

The strong wind swept across,

The thick clouds parted to both sides,

A huge and tattered bone spaceship slowly fell from the cracked clouds.

"Brother Fang."

Old Ren stood at the bow of the ship holding a bone staff, looking forward, with complex emotions in his eyes:

"That's the boundary of Fengdu City!"

Fang Zheng followed the reputation.

The first thing that catches the eye is a 'big river', which is a hundred feet wide and divides the land into two halves.

The river is winding and stretches endlessly, with neither its source nor its end known, only the turbid water flowing endlessly.

Santu River!

It is said that

This river runs through the entire secret realm of Yama.

There is a bridge over the river. The bridge is more than twenty feet wide and is made of huge rocks. It is majestic.

After crossing the bridge and a few miles further, a majestic giant city crawled on the ground like an ancient beast.

The city is divided into inside and outside.

A high wall divided the city.

With his eyesight, he could even see the chaos of the outer city buildings and the orderly order of the inner city.

Fengdu City!

Fang Zheng took a deep breath, and the rich Yin Qi submerged into his body, and the Sea of ​​Consciousness Yan Jun also flickered slightly.

Such active spiritual energy of heaven and earth!

This is already the case before approaching Fengdu City. If you stay in this city for a long time, you can imagine the progress of the low-level monks.

This is just the fringe area, the inner city is even more terrifying!

"Walk!"

"Go to the city first!"

Mr. Ren waved his hand and motioned for Ding Li, Fang Zheng and others to get off the boat and follow.

After being inspected by the ghost soldiers on the bridge, the group walked across the Naihe Bridge and entered the outer city under the leadership of the judge.

Everyone was placed in a settlement in Beicheng, which was specially used to inspect young people of appropriate age.

Many people have arrived.

There are also people who have not arrived yet, so the selection of talents will not begin until everyone is here.

“More people are coming this year than in previous years.”

Ding Li inquired about it and came back:

"There are more than a thousand people of the right age. In previous years, there were only eight or nine hundred. It is said that a few have already practiced the Yama Heart Sutra to the third level."

"well!"

"I wonder if anyone in our group can enter the inner city?"

As he said that, he glanced at Fang Zheng.

It's hard for others to be sure, but Fang Zheng will definitely be able to enter the inner city if he gets the benefit of his disciple Ma Ning.

"Not urgent."

Mr. Ren said in a muffled voice:

"When we first came to Fengdu City, every child had three bowls of Meng Po soup to drink, which can greatly improve their cultivation."

"Zuo Meng and Li Ying can still compete."

Zuo Meng's family has resources and has already cultivated the Yama Heart Sutra to the second level, but they are not good at fighting.

Li Yingze is Wen Qing's apprentice, and all the benefits she gets from adult men are given to her apprentice.

Having said that.

Ding Li still shook his head, obviously feeling that there was little hope.

After all, if you drink Mengpo soup and others drink it, the gap will not narrow, and may even widen.

"well!"

"Take a step and see what happens!"

…………

A few days later.

"Sweet fruit, sweet fruit!"

"Goose sauce, three taels of silver per pound of goose sauce..."

"I'm selling pine nuts..."

Fang Zheng walked on the long street of the outer city with his hands behind his back. Hearing the shouts from the vendors along the way, he couldn't help but smile.

This atmosphere made him suddenly think that he was still in Gu'an County.

The internal environment of Yama's Secret Realm is extremely poor. Although it is easy for practitioners to leave because of the strong yin energy, the quality of life is very low.

Most people just struggle to survive.

Only in Fengdu City can there be relatively prosperous commerce and even the sale of various luxury goods.

Luxury,

Only those who start paying attention to the quality of life after eating and drinking enough are willing to put in all their efforts.

this means,

The people of Fengdu City are no longer satisfied with their daily needs and have begun to truly 'enjoy' life.

"Shopkeeper Liu!"

"Mr. Fang."

Stopping at a bookstore for a while, Fang Zheng picked up a few reserved books before saying goodbye and leaving.

In the past few days, he often came to the bookstore to read books and became a frequent visitor.

"Fengdu Millennium Calendar"

"Research on Shinra"

"Exploring Santu River"

"Exploration"

Ordinary people in the secret realm of Yama do not realize that the place they live in is a secret realm.

Even the monks don't know.

If you are old.

His cultivation level is not low, but he knows nothing about the secret realm of Yama.

This seems to be a secret?

However, for thousands of years, it is inevitable that some people will become curious about the world outside Fengdu City and explore it spontaneously.

This is why the books I bought this time came about.

From the books left by our predecessors, we can get a glimpse of the current situation in this world.

‘Besides Fengdu City, there are two major forces, Wushit City and Juetian Palace, and there is also the Santu River within the territory. ’

‘The City of Fusi is commanded by the ghost king Zhang Heng, and the Juetian Palace is co-governed by two ghost kings, Zhao Wenhe and Wang Zhenren, both of whom have cultivation levels and are no less powerful than the ghost king Zhou Qi of Fengdu. ’

‘There are also several more mysterious places, Wangxiang Terrace, Sansheng Stone, Samsara Hall...’

'It is said that you can sometimes see another world at Wangxiangtai, and nine times out of ten...it is the outside world. ’

'It is rumored that if you can touch the Three Life Stone, you can see a person's past and present lives. However, judging from the current information, the existence of the Three Life Stone may be just a legend and there are no examples. ’

'As for the Palace of Reincarnation...'

‘I’m afraid it’s the only way for practitioners in this world to go to the Yang world! ’

Fangzheng turned over the book in his hand slightly, resting his chin on his hand and thinking deeply.

He will definitely go back.

However, for thousands of years, there has never been any record in the Yama Secret Realm that anyone was able to go to the outside ‘Yang World’.

There is definitely a channel.

In his opinion, the reincarnation of the Lord of the Reincarnation Hall is the only possible node to connect to the outside world.

"Ah……"

"When the Nie family opens the secret realm, there must be an entrance and exit. That is the safest place."

Unfortunately, Fang Zheng did not enter through the entrance, but followed the ghost passage to the secret realm.

It is not yet known where the entrance is.

"It doesn't matter!"

Shaking his head, Fang Zheng was not in a hurry:

"The person who enters the secret realm of Yama must be someone other than Fang. When you meet other people, you will know as soon as you ask."

"But the entrance should not be within the boundaries of Fengdu City, otherwise there would be no reason for it to be so peaceful here."

"boss!"

Stopping at a stall, sniffing his nose, Fangzheng said hello:

"Put three kilograms of braised pork, cut up a few taels of beef ears, and pack them up to take away!"

"okay."

The boss shouted and started:

"Please wait."

The cut braised pork and beef ears were wrapped in oil paper, tied with two hemp ropes, and carried to the residence.

Because of Ma Ning, Fang Zheng and Ma Chao received special care from certain people and lived in a separate courtyard.

open the door,

A familiar voice reached my eardrums.

"oh!"

Fang Zheng smiled:

"Xiao Ning is fine."

"Master."

Ma Ning, who was joking with his brother, turned around and bowed, with a respectful attitude that revealed a bit of alienation:

"you are back."

"Um."

Fang Zheng nodded and looked at the other person.

After not seeing each other for a while, Ma Ning's body had grown taller by a full head, and he had grown a few years earlier out of thin air.

Already somewhat like a little adult.

The clothes are no longer in tatters, but are made of fine silk and satin, and the stitching shows fine weaving skills.

There is even an extra hairpin on the head.

Compared with Ma Chao, who was in tattered clothes and disgraced face, she looked like a young lady from a wealthy family.

certainly.

The most noticeable thing was the aura on her body.

The fifth level of Yama Heart Sutra!

Well……

Although the breath is still a little unstable, it is indeed the fifth level, higher than his own master.

To be able to refine a part of the inner elixir in such a short period of time, it seems that the ghost king is most likely to have eliminated it.

"It seems like you've had a good few days."

Fang Zheng nodded and moved his eyes slightly:

"Who is this?"

In addition to the Ma family siblings, there was one other person in the field.

The man was wearing a black robe, his face was completely hidden, and his hands were tucked into his long sleeves.

There was a cold, secluded air about him.

Like a ball of black ice, people dare not touch it, and even spiritual perception will subconsciously avoid it.

"Master."

Ma Ning stretched out his hand and introduced:

"This is Granny Gui, the judge of Fengdu City, the Lord of the City... He wants me to worship Granny Gui as my teacher."

As he said that, he lowered his head in embarrassment.

Ma Chao's expression changed slightly, and he looked at his sister and master with a worried expression, his eyes filled with worry.

Fangzheng is speechless!

Okay,

The apprentice that he had worked so hard to train directly brought a third party over, and he was still so upright.

"good."

Granny Ghost spoke, her voice hoarse and unpleasant:

"Ma Ning is a girl who was born by chance and has an unlimited future. If you teach me, your future will be delayed."

"It's better if I teach."

"Well..." Fang Zheng pursed his lips and nodded helplessly after a long time:

"fair enough!"

"With Xiao Ning's current level of cultivation, there is no need for Fang's teaching. He should have found another famous teacher."

"You know the truth." Granny Ghost said in a surprised voice, as if she didn't expect Fang Zheng to agree so happily.

after all.

In the secret realm of Yama, the status of master and disciple is sometimes more than a blood relationship, and it is taboo to worship another person.

Even she can't take a disciple by force.

After thinking for a while, Granny Ghost spoke slowly:

"Don't worry, although I will accept Ma Ning as my disciple, I will have to wait until the selection is over, so I won't delay your entry into the inner city."

"I heard that you want to ask for the follow-up method of Yama Heart Sutra?"

"Not bad." Fang Zheng's eyes lit up:

"Fang's cultivation has reached the fourth level of the Yama Heart Sutra. He has already reported it and can start to follow up the method after it is approved."

"It's a pity that it has been several days and there has been no news."

"No need to go to such trouble." Granny Ghost shook her head, her long sleeves were light and steep, and a jade slip flew out from it.

"Snapped!"

Fang Zheng stretched out his hand to take it, and when he swept his mind into the jade slip, his face showed joy.

The first to eighth levels of the Yama Heart Sutra, as well as some supporting techniques, are all contained in the jade slips.

Follow the rules.

Once you have cultivated the Yama Heart Sutra to the fourth level, you can apply for the fifth level of Dharma, and then apply for the next level.

The process can be said to be troublesome, but it can be said to be simple.

The trouble is that there are many procedures, but the simplicity is that as long as you have enough cultivation, you can pass the application, and there is no suppression.

now.

The other party directly took out all the eight-level techniques.

This means that Founder no longer needs to go through the application process before applying in person, saving a lot of time.

certainly.

He didn't plan to actually go through the application process.

"Thank you!"

Fang Zheng handed over his hand with a serious look on his face.

"It should be." Granny Ghost waved her hands, and when she was about to say something, her expression suddenly changed under her robe.

But when he saw that Fang Zheng's clothes were moving without any wind, a soft, slow but unwavering breath leaked out.

If a certain gate opens, the water that has been accumulated for a long time is released.

"boom!"

moment.

His Yama Heart Sutra broke through from the fourth level to the fifth level.

And the whole process happened in the blink of an eye, everything was extremely smooth, as if it was just like that.

"The fifth level!"

Granny Ghost’s voice was slightly condensed:

"You actually broke through?"

"It's a fluke." Fang Zheng stretched his muscles gently, and the soul-enchanting chains flew out of his sleeves and shuttled flexibly.

He had mastered the fourth level of Yama Heart Sutra early on, and was only one chance away from making a breakthrough.

Now let’s start with the techniques and make some adjustments to progress smoothly.

Ma Ning's mouth opened wide with a look of disbelief on his face.

Her cultivation also improved by leaps and bounds, but her foundation was not solid and her strength was far inferior to that of a normal fifth-level monk.

"good!"

Granny Ghost nodded and asked again:

"How old are you this year?"

"Hmm..." Fang Zheng touched his chin:

"More than fifty."

More than fifty?

It seems that it has taken some years to complete the fourth level of the Yama Heart Sutra. No wonder it breaks through the original realm as soon as I get it.

but……

At such an age, the future is limited!

Granny Ghost came back to her senses, her eyes paused on the soul-enchanting chain, and she was slightly surprised by this magic weapon.

With this magical weapon, even if the Yama Heart Sutra is only at the fifth level, its strength can be stronger than the sixth level.

and even,

He gestured with the seventh level monk.

"Master."

Ma Ning didn't speak until then:

"I brought some elixirs over for my brother. I don't have to let him pass tomorrow's Meng Po Soup."

"oh!"

Fang was surprised:

"Meng Po Soup can greatly improve your cultivation. One person can only drink three bowls. If you miss it, it will be gone."

"It doesn't matter." Ma Ning shook his head:

"What I brought is better than Meng Po Soup. There is no problem for Ma Chao to complete the second level of Yama Heart Sutra."

"Um……"

She glanced at the old ghost lady beside her and said:

"Although Meng Po Soup can promote cultivation, it has the consequences of squeezing the human body's potential and even longevity."

"Three bowls of Meng Po soup will shorten your life by at least ten years!"

"Huh?" Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows:

"Do the other soup-drinking children know about this?"

"What can I do if I know?" Granny Ghost snorted coldly:

"If anyone in Fengdu City can live to the end of his life, it doesn't matter to them if he lives less than ten years."

"On the contrary, it squeezes the potential and causes more damage."

Founder is clear.

really.

The average life expectancy of people here is not high, and there are very few people like him who live a long life.

As for squeezing potential...

When the cultivation level is low, it is not obvious. The higher the cultivation level, the greater the impact. Some methods are so basic that they are almost not even qualified to practice.

"One more thing."

Ma Ning said again:

"This time, the Lord of the City showed mercy and increased the number of people allowed to enter the inner city to twenty, which is twice as many as in previous years."

"Ma Chao can also give it a try. The quota in the inner city does not matter, but if you enter the top 20, your resources will be skewed."

Hearing this, Ma Chao's eyes lit up.

"This is a good thing." Fang Zheng nodded.

A few people chatted some more.

Fang Zheng even learned from Granny Ghost that there was a library in the inner city, which contained many records about the situation outside Fengdu City.

There seems to be some secrets in it.

After leaving the door and getting on the carriage heading to the inner city, Granny Ghost looked back and narrowed her eyes under her robe.

…………

inner city.

"Master."

After settling Ma Ning, Granny Ghost came to an open courtyard and bowed her head towards the figure in front of her:

"I met a person in the outer city today. His behavior was quite strange. He may have come from the outside world."

"oh!"

The figure turned back, his face wrinkled and trembling:

"How weird?"

If there were others present, they would definitely recognize that the old woman who was called master by the ghost mother-in-law was one of the two ghost kings in Fengdu City.

Po Meng!

"When I went to that man's courtyard, he was not there. Only his disciple Ma Chao was practicing martial arts."

The ghost mother-in-law’s voice was solemn:

"Ma Chao is not very old, and his martial arts skills are not proficient, but he already has the charm of true meaning among the five evil elements."

"and……"

"The inner elixir in Ma Ning's body is also weird."

"Yeah?"

Po Meng’s eyes flashed:

"Hua Guisuo is not bad at strength. It is not difficult for the Ghost King to kill him, but it is not easy to take out the complete inner elixir."

"I……"

"It may not be possible!"

Um?

Granny Ghost was startled and looked in surprise.

In her opinion, the master who has great supernatural powers now shows a little timidity. How is this possible?

"Don't alert the enemy."

Po Meng spoke slowly:

"Let's observe for now."

"Then..." Granny Ghost thought for a while and asked:

"Do you want to tell the City Lord?"

Po Meng did not give an answer immediately. She pondered for a long time before saying:

"Don't mention this for now."

"yes."

The ghost mother-in-law bowed her head.
