The years when I explored the fairyland

Dayun Dynasty,

Baisha City.

Ji Mingqian changed into casual clothes, put on a hat, walked out of the back door of the government office, opened the folding fan in his hand, and started to stroll like a rich man.

After turning two alleys, he had already walked onto the main street of Baisha City. Although it was early in the morning, there were many pedestrians on both sides.

There were people going to work, breakfast shops, wonton stalls, horsemen coming and going, carriages and horses transporting goods, shouting, horses neighing, talking, and bargaining...

At a glance, everyone was busy, and a picture of "the world of fireworks" appeared before his eyes.

Ji Mingqian casually found a small stall, asked for a few buns and a bowl of soy milk, ate them all up, threw down a few copper coins, paid for the meal, and started to wander around.

Or, to put it another way, he was inspecting his territory!

Ji Mingqian was not good at martial arts, and had not even practiced health-preserving boxing. He ate and drank a lot, so his originally round body became fatter and fatter, and his physical fitness became worse and worse.

As a result, he didn't know when he started to like taking a walk early in the morning.

Stepping on the dim morning light, without any followers, he was like an ordinary rich man, walking around the east and west of the city, breathing fresh air, losing weight, and making him feel good.

To be honest, he was not an ambitious person. Even if he worked hard and passed the imperial examination, it was because he couldn't stay in the Zhou Palace anymore. If he didn't leave, he would be tortured to death.

But he never thought that he would meet the young Chu Zhou after only being a county magistrate, and he would rise higher and higher.

Nowadays, not to mention this prefecture, even in this world, Baisha City is already a big city.

Prosperous, flourishing, populous, well-organized, even if it is not the capital, it is better than the capital of the Three Kingdoms.

And all of this was designed, planned, and built by him brick by brick.

Walking on this street, looking at the busy pedestrians, Ji Mingqian often feels unreal.

Even if all this is his credit, he still doubts how he did it?

At the same time, he has an incomparable sense of pride!

Look, this worldly atmosphere is all from his hands!

Perhaps this is why he likes to go out for a walk every morning.

Today, he chose to go east, and crossed the main street. From a distance, he heard the sound of "hum ha" of martial arts practice.

Accompanied by the sound of fists hammering and sharp blades breaking through the air, densely packed, not from one source, gathered together, with great momentum and magnificent aura.

Ji Mingqian kept walking, passing by a large courtyard, and could see many people practicing martial arts through the open gate.

After walking a few steps, there is another courtyard, and there are also dozens of strong men, punching and kicking non-stop, blood boiling, and the air temperature is inexplicably higher.

And along this street, you can see not one or two martial arts halls, but more than ten or twenty.

If you think these martial arts halls are nothing, you are wrong. Look carefully at those signs. In addition to the names of the martial arts halls, they often come with the sects behind them.

I don’t know since when, all the martial arts sects in the world like to open martial arts halls in Baisha City.

Recruiting disciples and teaching martial arts is just a supplementary function. The most important thing is that they need to have a base in Baisha City to collect first-hand information from Xuanzhen Palace, complete tasks, and exchange rewards.

At the same time, this place has also become a trial place for martial arts heroes in the world. If you want to say that you are a genius and talk about the length of martial arts, if you don’t make a name for yourself in the martial arts world of Baisha City, no one will recognize you.

In fact, those who can open martial arts halls here must be at the level of a county and guarding a sect.

If you are weaker, the sign will not be stable!

But even so, the public security in Baisha City is very good. No warrior dares to act recklessly here, as it would be irresponsible for his own life.

Everyone in the world knows that Xuanzhen Palace is there!

Ji Mingqian walked slowly across the street and climbed up the city tower. He waved his hand to let the patrol soldiers leave. He stood there, looking up and saw the prosperity of the city, but there was also a trace of sadness on his head.

Everyone in the world knows that the reason why Baisha City can rise is because of Xuanzhen Palace!

And the reason why Xuanzhen Palace rises is because of Chu Zhou!

However, Chu Zhou has been gone for a long time, and bad news has come from everywhere in the world.

I just don’t know how long the prosperity and stability of Baisha City can last?

…

Inside Xuanzhen Palace.

The ancestral hall.

Under the tablet of Xuanzhen Taoist, incense, candles and fruits were offered. Xu Cheng, Yi Huai, Fan Tiehu and Wei Fangjie came forward one after another and offered three incense sticks to their master.

The curling smoke rose and spread in the ancestral hall, as if everyone was shrouded in a bit of hallucination and sinisterness.

"Anfeng City, a small city under the Wu Temple, heard that there was a ghost disaster.

Hundreds of people were hanged at home. It has been confirmed that they were not martial artists or secret arts, but their souls seemed to be sucked out."

"Yuedong Village, a village under the Sanqing Sect, is not crowded, with only a few hundred people, but it is shrouded in fog, and the village is looming.

Like a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water, no matter how hard you try, you can't get to the village. The Sanqing Sect sent people there, and the martial arts master was trapped in it. It took a month to come out, and he was already skinny.

According to him, he ran thousands of kilometers in it and was so tired that he lost his appearance."

"There is also the Donghua sect, with a family of 365 people, plus a thousand slaves. They all died miserably, as if they had been disemboweled by the sharp claws of some wild beast, and the ground was covered with internal organs and limbs.

The Great Yan Dynasty sent experts from six sects to investigate and find the murderer, but they discovered that it was a monster causing trouble. "

"There are also all kinds of weird disasters happening in Calabash City, Yeyu Valley, and Meihuaping..."

"To sum up, I'm afraid there are some demons and monsters that we can't understand that are causing trouble in the world!"

This is Zhongli Linghui giving a report. She is holding a manual in her hand. Her tone is unhurried, but the content is very shocking.

Behind her sat Feng Yan, who was in charge of the Xuanzhen Palace's intelligence system. They were the real handlers, and they knew the strangeness of the situation, so they frowned tightly.

After Zhongli Linghui finished speaking, there was another moment of silence, and then Xu Cheng asked: "Is it possible that the sects are responsible for tricking me into waiting to leave?

Just because of a promise, the senior brother has not come back yet! "

Wei Jinkui interjected: "It's unlikely. The tragic battle at Xiangji Mountain has not passed long, and the three countries are all licking their wounds.

Even if they really have a plan, I'm afraid they don't have the strength! "

"I'm just afraid that they will jump over the wall and do something unwise. Who knows?"

Yi Huai was very rude and said: "Furthermore, according to Senior Brother's wishes, our Immortal Cultivation Sect should stay away from the world of mortals and cultivate immortality in this world.

If things outside can't be resolved, report them to us, and I'll damn them! "

An old voice rang out, but it was the Taoist Qingjing who spoke: "Third Master, although Palace Master Chu emphasizes being born in the world and cultivating immortals, and is unwilling to interfere with the world of mortals, it doesn't mean he doesn't care about anything.

Do you think if he were here, he would really ignore these things? "

Yi Huai curled his lips, but when the words came to his lips, nothing came out.

But Wei Fangjie answered: "Taoist Master, you are right, if the senior brother were here, I'm afraid he wouldn't just stand idly by.

But the question is, how do we manage it now? "

“If you want to take care of it, you have to at least send people out and visit the place in person, so that you can discover the problem.

But no matter who of us goes, it’s hard to say that we can solve it? "

"Although we are building foundations, we are still far behind our senior brother, and our magic and magical powers are not as good as ours. It's hard to say what effect we can have.

If one or two of us are in trouble, will you save them or not? "

"But if we do nothing, I'm afraid it won't be appropriate. It will really damage the prestige of my Xuanzhen Palace!"

"Why should I, Xuanzhen Palace, care about other people's opinions?"

"I think..."

"It's not right for you to say that. I think..."

In the Patriarch Hall, everyone expressed their opinions. It was noisy and confusing for a while, and everyone had their own reasons.

Since the battle at Xiangji Mountain, the twelve land gods, with the plan of all beings in the world, hijacked Chu Zhou and disappeared. The direct result was that the Three Kingdoms, and even the major martial sects, seemed to have lost their backbone and did not know how to react.

And because of the heavy losses in the war, almost everyone stopped fighting and went back to their homes to lick their wounds.

Everyone is waiting for Chu Zhou and the land gods to decide the winner and for them to reappear in the world.

During this period, there was a truce and a period of stability.

But who would have thought that after just a few months of stability, all kinds of strange things would happen all over the world, leaving all martial arts sects helpless.

Then, these people reported the matter to Xuanzhen Palace. As a world-recognized immortal cultivation sect, if martial arts could not solve the problem, they wanted to ask for immortality.

However, Xuanzhen Palace also has different opinions on whether to pay attention to these things.

Some people feel that something needs to be done. For example, Qing Jing Lao Tao has some ideas to save the people from the fire and water.

But Yi Huai and Wei Fangjie were very angry. They felt that I had cultivated my own immortality and didn't care about the dire straits in the world.

As for Xu Cheng, although he is the second senior brother and Chu Zhou is not here, he respects him, but in fact, he has never been good at making decisions, and he doesn't like these trivial matters, which gives him a headache.

In the Patriarch's Hall, everyone expressed their opinions and ideas, but no one could convince anyone!

At this time, the problems of Xuanzhen Palace were actually very thoroughly exposed. These people may be good at executing orders and they are unambiguous, but without the leading helmsman, they seem to be scattered and unable to get together.

After arguing for a long time, Fan Tiehu suddenly said, "Why don't I go there!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone fell silent, their eyes focused on each other, as if they were a little surprised.

Fan Tiehu is a taciturn person and rarely expresses his opinions. This is the first time he has made it so clear.

Seeing everyone, he was not afraid of the stage. After organizing his words, he looked at Yi Huai and said: "Elder brother said that the main purpose of cultivating immortality in the world is to escape from the turmoil of the world, so as to maintain a comfortable mind. It does not mean not caring about anything.

After all, we are in this world. If something really happens, we cannot hide or avoid it. Therefore, we must find out what needs to be found out. "

As he said that, he looked at Qingjing Lao Dao again and said, "However, based on Senior Brother's experience, we must be wary of those martial arts sects and the imperial court.

My idea is to travel quietly, stay up day and night, and randomly find a strange place to see what is going on? "

After a pause, he continued: "Actually, if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to find that most of these strange things happened within a period of time after the senior brother and the land gods left.

Then can we think that it was they who did something that caused the world to change?

Or, something that shouldn't exist was released. "

"What are you talking about?"

"We cultivators know that this world is not that simple. Ghosts, monsters, and demons are not limited to the human world, but they are not fake."

"Not to mention the distant past, when the Tyrant Sect fought against the Pure World Red Lotus Society and the Xuanyue Sect, didn't they almost release a drought demon?

Do you think that in addition to this drought demon, there may be other things? "

When these words came out, it made everyone suddenly realize that this guess made some sense.

Xu Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Fourth Junior Brother, you are right, but it is not appropriate to let you go out, not appropriate!"

Seeing that Fan Tiehu wanted to say something, he hurriedly said, "Fourth Junior Brother, you are familiar with the formation, you can activate the mountain protection formation to protect the safety of Xuanzhen Palace.

Everyone can go, but you can't, that's needless to say. "

His words really left Fan Tiehu speechless, because, this is the truth!

Yi Huai stood up and said: "Then I will go. Since the eldest brother is not here, I am the strongest in Xuanzhen Palace, and my safety is more guaranteed."

Xu Cheng nodded, and then looked at Wei Fangjie, and said: "You alone is not enough, junior brother, go with the third junior brother.

You are proficient in talismans, and this trip, we have all the means. Let's gather the magic tools, talismans and elixirs left by the eldest brother to ensure your safety as much as possible. "

Wei Fangjie did not refuse, and said directly: "Okay!"

Wei Jinkui said again: "Do you want me to transfer some more people?"

Fan Tiehu replied: "No, this is an investigation. Too many people and too many mouths are not conducive to concealment and sneaking."

"Then let's do it."

After the discussion, everyone was speechless for a while. After a long time, Xu Cheng said: "The purple bamboo rice on the lonely peak has been harvested again. I don't know when the eldest brother can come back? ”

…

Ba Zong territory,

Shayu Pass.

This is the last place for the Dayun Dynasty to go to the Ten Thousand Mountains. The pass is built between the rolling mountains and is considered the easternmost settlement of the human race.

The reason why there is a pass here is that there are always traces of spiritual beasts in the rolling mountains, and there are also jungle barbarians fleeing famine, so they need to be vigilant.

However, these are not frequent after all, and Shayu Pass is not strict. Instead, it is a market where jungle barbarians can use animal skins, animal bones, herbs, and minerals to exchange for some daily necessities.

So although it is a pass, Shayu Pass actually shows some prosperity.

However, at this time, the whole city seems a bit weird.

There is no human voice in the huge pass, and there are wisps of black fog floating, so that the sky and the earth appear a bit hazy, and it looks like distortion from a distance.

Closer If you look at it from a distance, you will find that everyone inside is standing there with exaggerated expressions.

Some are laughing, some are crying, some are twisted in pain, and some are unwilling and angry...

But no matter which one, it is just facial expression, without other movements.

Until a certain old man, with white hair and hunched body, smiled at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes lost their light. Then, he fell to the ground and died completely.

This is the first case, but not the last one. More and more people died one after another.

Outside the city, at the foot of the mountain, many people also gathered.

Some of them are wearing the clothes of the government constables, some are at the level of the divine constables, with golden waist badges hanging around their waists, and they are fierce.

There are also people from the Tyrant Sect, with vigorous blood, burly bodies, and sharp eyes.

Looking at Shayu Pass, they all seem very powerless.
