The Secret Way of Immortality

The scorched soil reeked, with embers occasionally flickering, attempting to reignite, but there was nothing left to burn around.

As far as the eye could see, several hilltops were barren, with wisps of white smoke rising slowly. Strangely, the boundary was covered in wild rice.

It spanned over a hundred acres.

It was early spring, yet the rice paddy thrived, seemingly about to bear grain.

The mountain wind swept through, scattering embers, but causing not a ripple within the rice paddy.

On the outer edge was a sizable camp, with dozens of soldiers patrolling nervously around the rice paddy, their eyes occasionally darting towards the field.

A massive stone tablet stood outside the rice paddy, bearing several eerie human eyes that constantly swiveled.

Besides the officers and soldiers performing their duties, there were also a considerable number of Jailers stationed here, but they deliberately kept their distance, as if waiting for something.

The camp had been set up for over ten days, but the atmosphere felt somewhat somber.

Song Zongwu stood on a distant cliff, his six eyes scanning the rice paddy, four arms crossed over his chest, his expression slightly gloomy.

It was hard to imagine that such a peaceful mountain forest concealed a restricted area known as the Immortal Eater.

The other Jailers dared not disturb him, merely resting around the wild rice field, waiting for Song Zongwu to order the sealing of the restricted area.

After a few days of contact, they discovered that the Immortal Eater restricted area was even more bizarre than they had imagined.

A few days ago, a wild boar went out of control and charged into the rice paddy. As it got closer, its body gradually shrunk.

It disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Subsequently, townspeople in An'nan Town with lines on their chest and abdomen vomited up wild boar hair.

The only fortunate thing was that the restricted area did not actively absorb living beings, but only tempted them to pick the rice in the field. After eating it, disordered lines would appear on their chest and abdomen.

Fortunately, the Jailer Hall had found a way to remove the effects of the restricted area.

By abstaining from food and drink for seven days and seven nights, the lines on the chest and abdomen would gradually fade.

The Jailer Hall forcibly sustained the lives of the mortals with spells, thus eliminating the hidden dangers for the 20,000 residents of An'nan Town, averting a major disaster.

Jiang Feng was stationed at the camp. He seemed to be closing his eyes to rest, but in reality, he was using the eyes on the stone tablet to observe the rice paddy, lest any accidents occur.

Many official Jailers in An'nan Town had been drawn into the Immortal Eater restricted area, causing the area of the restricted area to expand several times.

Naturally, he didn't want any more incidents, so he had to be careful.

In fact, if it hadn't been for several Underworld Envoys secretly preventing it, the restricted area should have been sealed off immediately after dealing with An'nan Town.

The still-warm cold wind blew, and the rice undulated like the surface of the sea.

Song Zongwu's eyes flickered.

He quickly approached the rice paddy and struck with his fists, causing the ground to tremble. The rice swayed but did not break.

Song Zongwu did not have much hope that Ren Qing could escape from it. After all, every restricted area contained a large number of strange objects, which could not be resisted by a Ghost Envoy.

Although he tried to delay the time as much as possible, there was still a limit.

The location of the Immortal Eater restricted area was too close to An'nan Town. If it was left unattended, it would threaten the lives of tens of thousands of people.

As An'nan Town was the granary of Xiangxiang, any problem would affect the whole situation.

Crack, crack, crack…

A slight sound came from the rice paddy.

Song Zongwu's expression was startled. He knew that no matter how he attacked in the past few days, the rice inside remained unscathed.

His blood-red six eyes widened, and his pupils meticulously scanned the hundred acres of rice paddy.

He quickly discovered the strangeness. Near the edge, a grain of rice fell because it was ripe.

The grain of rice was slowly floating into the air with the mountain wind.

Song Zongwu instantly appeared in front of the grain of rice and gently pinched it with his index finger.

The rice husk automatically fell off, revealing a body growing in the wind.

His expression was slightly lost, and he quickly checked it carefully. As a result, the body resembled Huang Ziwang, but its skin was not as blue-purple.

"Huang Ziwang?"

Song Zongwu's finger pressed on the center of the body's eyebrows and forcefully extracted a wisp of soul.

The soul was in the form of Ren Qing, but it felt unreal and its intelligence was only that of an ordinary seven- or eight-year-old child.

Song Zongwu's expression changed several times, and finally he let out a long sigh.

In his opinion, Ren Qing should have used some means to escape from the Immortal Eater restricted area, but lost his body and his soul was incomplete.

Even if he reshaped his body with spells, he would not live for more than a few years.

If it weren't for this accident, Ren Qing would have been promoted to Underworld Envoy sooner or later. It was a pity…

Song Zongwu was about to collect the soul, no matter what, he had to give Ren Qing a good end.

But he didn't notice at all that another grain of rice floated not far away. As the rice husk cracked, Ren Qing's main body crawled out.

Jiang Feng in the camp suddenly stood up, looking extremely stunned.

"How is that possible?!"

The other Jailers were far away and did not notice the abnormality of the Immortal Eater restricted area. They all turned their attention to Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng shook his head and wisely closed his mouth.

After Song Zongwu noticed Ren Qing, he was immediately embarrassed. The released wisp of soul returned to the mud pill palace of the main body.

He was still deeply saddened by a wisp of soul.

"He actually came out alive…"

Song Zongwu carefully looked at Ren Qing, for fear that it was a hidden hand left by the Immortal Eater restricted area.

Ren Qing's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and he couldn't help but fall asleep.

After a while, Song Zongwu did not notice anything strange, but only found that Ren Qing's legs were broken and his body's blood was relatively weak.

It was obvious that he had not recovered from his serious injuries.

The ghost shadow vigilantly looked at Song Zongwu, preventing any living beings from approaching.

The corners of Song Zongwu's mouth raised, wanting to show a smile but forcibly held back, after all, there were still Jailers who died in the Immortal Eater restricted area.

However, this shadow… should also be a Ghost Envoy's spell, right?

How do I feel that it has already completed a strange transformation once.

Misfortune and fortune depend on each other. Since Ren Qing has such luck, he may even go further than himself in the future, and have hope to refer to the Yang God Realm.

Song Zongwu punched the ghost shadow, and the latter immediately became weak.

Seeing this, he grabbed Ren Qing and disappeared around the Immortal Eater restricted area with a few flashes, probably heading to a nearby hill.

Jiang Feng stood up in the camp, and Song Zongwu's voice came to his ear.

"Notify, temporarily seal the Immortal Eater restricted area with spells."

The latest novel is first published on the 6 9 Book Bar!

Fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. Song Zongwu's surface was conveying a task, but in reality, he was also warning himself not to spread it.

Jiang Feng naturally did not dare to offend the Underworld Envoy, and quickly dispatched the Jailers.

………

When Ren Qing opened his eyes, two days had passed. His leg bones had barely healed, but he still couldn't help but feel a little weak.

He found himself in a mountain cave, and his heart couldn't help but beat wildly.

He was afraid that he was still not out of the restricted area.

Ren Qing then recalled his previous experience and couldn't help but let out a long breath.

The restricted area contained too many risks. If it weren't for Yu Dachuan's willingness to delay, he might not have been able to escape even if he had exhausted all means.

His eyes narrowed.

If the Water Hyacinth knew that Ren Qing had escaped the restricted area, he might come to his door and blame himself for Yu Dachuan's affairs.

This person is a madman.

Ren Qing made up his mind that after being promoted to Underworld Envoy and having the confidence, he would find an opportunity to kill the Water Hyacinth, so as to save any future troubles.

While he was pondering secretly, Song Zongwu walked slowly from outside the cave.

"Ren Qing, I didn't expect that even the Immortal Eater restricted area couldn't trap you…"

"Good luck, good luck."

Ren Qing stretched his waist. Thinking of the precarious days in the restricted area, he felt that even living in the open air in the real world was much more comfortable.

Song Zongwu sat down cross-legged, his expression serious, and said: "Ren Qing, can you tell me the specific situation in the Immortal Eater restricted area?"

"I… wait a minute."

Ren Qing nodded, but he suddenly seemed to remember something. The strange mouth in his palm released dozens of people.

The townspeople had been in a state of deep sleep for many days, and they were all a little pale and emaciated.

Lu Xiaoyu was slightly better. After contacting the outside world, she rubbed her eyes and woke up.

She opened her mouth wide, her mind unable to distinguish whether she was in the restricted area or not, her thoughts were a mess, silent and speechless, not knowing what she was thinking.

Huang Ziwan was bored.

The area inside the abdominal prison was too narrow, and he didn't know day or night, just like being really imprisoned in a prison.

Huang Ziwan was deeply surprised that he was in Ren Qing's mustard space, and he could vaguely perceive a very terrifying aura.

But before he could delve into it, he returned to the outside world.

Huang Ziwan looked around and quickly greeted Ren Qing.

Ren Qing frowned slightly.

He found that Huang Ziwan's blue-purple skin was deeper, indicating that the alienization was out of control, although it had not reached the level of stomach in stomach.

"Old Huang, are you okay?"

Huang Ziwan's face was bitter and said: "It's already good to be alive, and the most that out-of-control alienization can do is lead to living far away from people."

Ren Qing hesitated for a moment and said: "You can try to go to the Great Dream Forging in the Ghost Market, maybe you can use magic weapons to suppress the toxins in your body."

"Thank you."

Huang Ziwan waved his hand, not holding much hope in his heart.

Then the two of them told Song Zongwu everything that happened in the restricted area, including the inexplicable rules they encountered.

After hearing this, Song Zongwu fell into silence, his fingers constantly tapping the stone wall.

After a long time, he said: "The Immortal Eater restricted area is too close to An'nan Town, it's really a lot of trouble. With the information you provided, we can consider completely eliminating it."

Ren Qing was stunned and said: "The restricted area has devoured several kinds of strange objects, and there will definitely be another drastic change. The terror of the content described by us is already very different."

Song Zongwu shook his head: "No matter what, the Immortal Eater Technique, as the core strange object, will not change."

He said firmly: "There are several old Jailers in the Jailer Hall whose lifespans are exhausted, I will take them to it."

"Even if I die, it's okay, the area of the restricted area will at most expand a hundred times, and then An'nan Town will be moved away from here."

Ren Qing didn't know how to persuade him.

I can only describe in detail the strange objects contained in the Immortal Eater restricted area.

Song Zongwu wrote them down one by one: "You three can stay here, I will find someone to settle the townspeople."

Ren Qing quickly decided to stay in the camp temporarily. It was too conspicuous to return to the town now, and there was also the Water Hyacinth spying in secret.

It's just right to prepare for the promotion of the Heavenly Dao Insect, and the Immortal Eater Technique also needs to be familiar with it.

Huang Ziwan and the two also did not choose to leave.

The protagonist will not participate too much in the elimination of the restricted area
