Origin

After Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement. This place was strange and dangerous, so it was better to leave early.

Dasha, the god of Wu Zhongyuan, came and took everyone to continue traveling to the northwest.

Although the second child would always tell the old blind man what happened in the outside world, fearing that his narrative would be wrong, Wu Zhongyuan told the old blind man in detail what had happened outside the temple.

After listening to Wu Zhongyuan's words, the old blind man said, "The person who brought the Beast King Yuanying into the temple is not the same person who tried to attack you. There are at least two powerful opponents in that area."

"Looking at the prominent outline on the barrier, it seems that the one trying to attack me is the giant hyena king." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Since the old blind man didn't see the outline of the orcs on the barrier, he didn't comment.

Wu Zhongyuan asked again, "Sir, do you think they are invisible to the naked eye because they are invisible, or because they are sealed and their bodies are not free?"

The old blind man said casually, "The latter is more likely. Their bodies and the beast king's body should still be sealed. After the seal is loosened, their souls will escape first, but they will be restricted by the aura barrier outside the temple and cannot move freely. go."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded. The biggest difference between formations and spiritual energy barriers is that the spiritual energy barrier will rebound with the same force after being impacted. This is also the basis for the old blind man to conclude that the temple is surrounded by spiritual energy barriers and not formations.

The old blind man tilted his head and asked, "You have picked up that fox before, but have you ever noticed whether it is a male or a female?"

"It should be a female." Wu Zhongyuan was not sure. Foxes belong to the canine family, and the position of that thing is the same as that of a dog. But he just glanced at it before and didn't find anything under the belly of the little fox. But he didn't look closely to see if there was anything behind it.

The old blind man asked again, "Is that Xuanjing statue really the image of a woman?"

"Yes." Wu Zhongyuan said.

The old blind man did not ask any more questions. He only asked these questions to further confirm that the little fox was indeed the Nascent Soul of the Beast King.

The old blind man didn't ask, but Wu Zhongyuan started to ask, "Nascent Soul is a fox, does that mean the Beast King is also a fox?"

The old blind man nodded, "The Nascent Soul is derived from the Yuanshen and is the same as the original body."

Seeing that both of them were silent, Jiang Nan asked Wu Zhongyuan, "You deceived it of the soul-fixing stone, because you were afraid that it would make trouble for you after it regained its mind.

"

"I'm not cheating, I'm exchanging." Wu Zhongyuan said with a smile.

"It doesn't seem right. It's not equivalent to exchange the elixir for the soul-fixing stone. It's naive and ignorant. It's suspected of being deceptive." Jiang Nan shook his head.

"I have to let it know that although I know it is the Beast King Yuanying, I have not harmed it, but I am not afraid of it either." Wu Zhongyuan said casually.

After Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, Jiang Nan did not answer. Thinking carefully, what Wu Zhongyuan said did make sense.

Knowing that the soul-fixing stone was a sacred object, Jiang Nan was unwilling to take it for himself and returned it many times, but Wu Zhongyuan refused.

With nothing to do, Wu Zhongyuan asked the old blind man for advice. The Ox Clan warriors could not carry weapons when they transformed. This was a big drawback. If there was something in the world that could make up for this shortcoming, the Ox Clan warriors would be able to fight against the enemy in the future. A little more chance of winning and calmness.

Although the old blind man was very knowledgeable, he did not know the existence of such a thing. However, he had once seen a man transformed from a bird. When he showed his original form and took off into the sky, his personal weapons also transformed. This man was I live on an island in the East China Sea. If I have some free time, I can go there and seek advice.

The next stop was Black Cloud Valley, and then everyone discussed the situation of Black Cloud Valley. There were two reasons why the old blind man was confident of finding Black Cloud Valley in the desert. First, although the Western Desert is a mobile desert, the oasis itself is not It will move. The second reason is that it was summer when he went to Black Cloud Valley. His reference was not a fixed landmark building or terrain, but the wind direction. The strongest wind in summer is the southeast wind, which blows from the north of Kunlun Mountain. Starting from Yinma River, you can find Heiyun Valley within six hours by flying with the wind.

Yinma River is both a river and a town. This town is similar in nature to Goat Valley in the Southern Wilderness. They are both small towns on the border. They are also the main places of exchange in the northwest region. However, they are different from Goat Valley. Differently, the Yinma River is owned by an owner. The person who controls it is a female scorpion who has been able to transform into a human form for many years. She is always dressed in black and calls herself the Black Beauty, also known as the Black Widow.

According to the old blind man, this black widow should be a combination of Pan Jinlian and Sun Erniang. Although this person is a scorpion, she is very beautiful when she transforms into a human. Because she is a fairy, she does not age at all. There is a saying that she is knowledgeable. The more you see, the more you will understand. He is proficient in all kinds of martial arts and has many admirers, but covetation is just coveting. Few people dare to try to get involved, just because this guy has the same habits as the female praying mantis. If you enjoy yourself, you will get angry, and if you get angry, you will eat people.

The old blind man is not a taciturn old scholar. In fact, he has a very easy-going temperament, humorous words, likes to joke, and knows a lot. He can tell some interesting stories along the way, which can relieve the boredom of the journey.

Just after midnight, around three o'clock in the afternoon, the group arrived near Deyinma River. After properly settling Dasha, the four of them walked to the town.

In fact, everyone had brought enough drinking water and dry food, and they were not tired. They could continue on their way. However, everything was ready. The only thing they needed was the southeast wind. There was no wind and no reference. They could only settle in the town and wait for the wind to blow up. Set off again.

Goat Valley is a series of streets, but Yinma River is not. There is a city wall on the outside. The buildings inside are very messy and there are many people. There are also many people who look like people but are not people. Changes are carried out here during the day. At this time, the city is everywhere They are all people.

Here, Wu Zhongyuan saw familiar things, camels, and naan, to be precise, the predecessor of naan, as well as roasted sheep and milk tea.

Although the Black Widow is not a good person, she is not a bad person either. This "person" is Tai Xuan. With her in charge, the security in the city is good. She is easy to change and has good rules, so she does not cheat outsiders.

This place is far away from the Middle Earth. Whether it is copper pieces or salt, the value here is relatively high. There is no need to get Qi-tonifying elixirs to exchange them. A few copper pieces can be enough for a full meal.

The street stalls here are very simple, with a few wooden poles supporting the roof and no walls. They are left open when there is no wind, and are surrounded by felt when the weather turns windy.

It was just before dinner time, several tables were empty, and there were no other diners. Everyone ordered food and ate and drank.

Since there are no walls around, you can see pedestrians passing by and hear their conversations. Most of the pedestrians' conversations have no practical meaning, but some of them attracted the attention of the four people. One group of people said that the Black Widow was not in the city. And a few other people seemed to be saying that the Bear Clan was bullying others too much and even went to Mobei to plunder. Black Widow and others would definitely beat the shit out of them if they went there this time.

Pedestrians came to exchange with the shopkeeper and buy some food to take away. During the exchange, he would also talk to the shopkeeper. From the tone of the shopkeeper, it seemed that he also knew about the Bear Clan's robbery in Mobei.

Hearing everyone's conversation, Wu Zhongyuan was very curious. It turned out that he was not the only one who was acting mischievously, but the Bear Clan was also starting to act mischievously.

Curious, he asked the shopkeeper what the bears had robbed.

The shop owner is an old man in his fifties. Living conditions are not good at this time and people's life span is very short. He is considered an old man at the age of fifty. When Wu Zhongyuan asked, the shop owner pointed eastward and said, "Those bear tribesmen are so disgusting. Earlier, we robbed the sandcastle and stole other people's treasures, but I heard that they went to the Gale Valley again this time."

"What is the treasure of the sandcastle?" Wu Zhongyuan asked casually.

Someone happened to come to change. The shop owner turned around and was busy without answering. The old blind man said from the side, "The sand castle is a mound city two hundred miles due east of here. The owner of the castle, Yang Li, once killed Kill a pair of thousand-year-old earth dragons and get two earth dragon inner elixirs, one gold and one silver. Gold is the male and silver is the female. The gold elixir soaked in water can make people stagnate and fall asleep. The silver elixir soaked in water can wake people up. Return the sun and gain life again.”

The old blind man drank a cup of milk tea and continued, "If you are seriously injured and on the verge of death but cannot be treated in time, this product is most useful."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded. This thing is indeed a good thing. If someone is injured and the doctor is not around, or if the medicine is not available for a while, you can use this thing to bring the injured person's human body functions to a standstill and gain enough energy for treatment. time.

"How long can this thing make people fall asleep?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"Yi Ji." The old blind man said.

"So long?" Wu Zhongyuan exclaimed, a century is twelve years.

The old blind man smiled and nodded.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't ask again. When he ran away, Wu Qin caught up with him and reported the news. What he said was that many warriors and wizards from the Bear tribe had come north. It turned out that these guys were here to find this. This thing has more than just uses. Coming to treat the injured should also be able to put the uninjured people into a deep sleep. He now wondered if Wu Ao did this because he wanted to escape from the battle.

The second child was always ashamed of himself. He usually wouldn't interrupt when people were talking. Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan didn't ask any questions, he curiously asked, "What is an earth dragon?"

The old blind man relied on his second child to take care of him for eating, drinking, and diarrhea. Naturally, the old blind man couldn't help but answer its question, "They are what we call earthworms. The two that were killed by the Yang force should be rare species."

The second child suddenly understood and asked, "What's in the Gale Valley?"

"The Valley of the Wind contains a few scales that Xuanwu shed when he was young. This thing has the miraculous effect of keeping wind and rain away. Wear it with you, and you will not be able to get close to it in violent storms." The old blind man said.

"There are such magical objects?!" The second child exclaimed.

While the second child was marveling, Wu Zhongyuan was frowning. The Bear Clan mobilized their troops, and they must be getting something that would be helpful to them. The function of the Xuanwu Scale Armor was to stop wind and rain, and it seemed to be of no use to the Bear Clan.

"Sir, do the Bear Clan know that there is purple potato in Black Cloud Valley?" Wu Zhongyuan asked. There are often hurricanes in the desert. If the Bear Clan wants to get Xuanwu armor, is it because they want to go into the desert to find purple potato?

The old blind man shook his head.

Seeing the old blind man shaking his head, although Wu Zhongyuan still had doubts, he didn't ask any more questions.

After eating, Wu Zhongyuan paid the bill, stood up and stretched. At this moment, he suddenly remembered something and asked the old blind man urgently, "Sir, can the Xuanwu Scale Armor restrain the Bear Clan's rapid speed?"

Wu Zhongyuan's question somewhat revealed the old blind man's identity. Although the old blind man was confused, he still answered, "It does have this effect."

After hearing the old blind man's words, Wu Zhongyuan's expression changed drastically, "Oh no, they want to harm me..."
