After surviving three days and leaving the secret realm, Wu Gen quietly asked Shui Congyue who had won the fifth match. Shui Congyue glanced at Wu Gen as if he were an idiot, then walked away.
As for the tailbone that Wu Gen was playing with, since it did not have the powerful power that Ming Zheng said, it was naturally not a legacy from his ancestors, so Wu Gen happily accepted it. It can be wrapped around the waist and used to drive a donkey, tie a pocket, etc. It is quite useful.
Since Shui Congyue and Mingzheng were seriously injured, they decided to rest at the entrance of the secret realm for a few days. There are not only guest rooms here, but also a dedicated witch doctor. It seems that Li Ren usually has many people entering the secret realm to practice, and the facilities are quite complete.
In the guest room, Ming Zheng asked Wu Gen nonchalantly where else he had gone in the secret realm.
When he learned that Wu Gen had tried all but two spaces that he could not open or enter, Ming Zheng was dumbfounded. After a long while, he sighed to Shui Congyue: "This secret realm, even I, Li, don't dare to break into at will. . Congyue, your brother is really gifted. It’s not easy for him to survive until now.”
Especially when he learned that Wu Gen had broken through that space of wind and fire alone, he was even more speechless and his expression was obscure. It is actually a place where powerful people cultivate their golden bodies. If a powerful person enters, they need to learn the secret skills of the clan, and someone needs to be outside to watch over them at any time, so that they can be rescued at any time if something unexpected happens.
Generally speaking, after entering the second realm of wind and earth, you need to take the person out and wait for the body to recover before entering again. Because although the loess can produce sperm and is of great benefit to the human body, the soil in the earth domain is very thick and will suffocate a person to death if left there for a long time.
Unexpectedly, Wu Gen boldly traveled through the four regions alone, and judging from his appearance, there was nothing serious at all.
This time the four of them entered the secret realm for only a few days. As for why Wu Gen felt that many years had passed in it, it was just the mystery of the secret realm.
Wu Gen also asked what the bones behind the stone tablet were. Ming Zheng's expression suddenly changed and he never mentioned this matter.
After resting for a few days, seeing that their injuries improved, the four of them returned to Black Rock City together.
The biggest gain from this trip to the secret realm is that Shui Congyue has broken through the five realms. At his age, he has reached this level, which can be said to have reached the peak of a warrior.
Warriors who walk around the world mostly see the five realms. It is rumored that there are still higher realms in the world, but they are just like divine dragons that rarely get involved in human affairs.
After congratulating him, Wu Gen showed off the strange tailbone he had obtained to everyone. The tail bone was very hard. Bao Xiang struck it with a big ax several times, and there were gaps on the ax blade, but the tail bone was unharmed.
Later, Baoxiang also wanted to touch one for fun, and even had the idea of digging someone's grave. Fortunately, Wu Gen discovered this evil sign in time and stopped it, thus avoiding a bad incident.
A few days later, the injuries of Qi He and others had recovered, and Wu Gen was ready to lead people to leave Black Rock City and continue looking for the Taichu Stone.
Wu Gen specially called a group of people together to discuss the future itinerary, especially Ye Ziming, Song Tieyan, and Yang Zheng. The road ahead was difficult. I wonder if these three people were willing to go together. If you don't want to, ask Ji Ye to arrange it properly, or stay here, or leave Dayizhou on your own.
As a result, Ye Ziming took the lead in stating that no matter what the future holds, he will definitely follow Wu Gen. Song Tieyan hesitated for a moment and decided to go together. The most interesting thing is Yang Zheng, who stands silently behind Wu Gen, as if "Don't ask me, I'm already yours."
Before leaving, Ming Zheng and Ji Ye both came to see him off. During the banquet, Ji Ye quietly told Wu Gen. Because Wu Gen lost his fortune and got the tail bone, some people in Liren's senior management wanted to keep Wu Gen or get the tail bone back.
However, according to the rules handed down from our ancestors, these relics are only selected from people with a predestined relationship, and are not limited to powerful people. Mingzheng's father decided that Wu Gen would take it. A strong person relies on his tribe, not his weapons.
I heard that Wu Gen was going south to find the Taichu Stone. Ming Zheng's face was a little solemn. Over the years, no one had searched for the Taichu Stone, but no one had succeeded.
The further south you go, the fewer people there are and the more weird things happen. In the extreme south, there is a lost ice field. It is a restricted area for all ethnic groups, and even Li people dare not set foot there at will.
After repeated admonitions, Wu Gen still declined Ming Zheng and Ji Ye's attempts to stay, and the group hurried south. It has been more than a year since he entered Dayizhou. If he can't find the Taichu Stone again, Wu Gen is ready to return. If you miss the opening time of the exit, you may end up in Dayizhou forever.
This trip was much more luxurious than before. Considering that further south, the population would become increasingly sparse and supplies would be very difficult, so Ming Zheng gave each person a dragon horse as a gift, along with several carriages. Wu Gen couldn't help boasting about Yi Tong Mingzheng's generosity and loyalty, and then led a group of people southward.
Looking at Wu Gen and others who had turned into faint black dots in the distance, Ji Ye sighed and said, "Ming Zheng, why don't you keep them? You also said that there are many crises in the south, and there are many cultivators among the nobles." He died there because of his profound power.”
Ming Zheng smiled slightly and broke off a willow branch on the side of the road. "Ah, how could you forget the custom of outsiders, sending friends to close friends on the green side of the willow branch. Forget it, since you have forgotten the willow tree, let's not keep it. Brother Ji, Everyone has his own ambitions, and these people are all extraordinary, so why should we be afraid of something weird? Besides."
Turning to look at Ji Ye, his expression was a little ugly, "The tailbone, several elders in the clan have secretly seen it, it was left by the ancestors. Why did he suddenly lose all his power when he met Wu Gen? Could it be God's will?" . To tell you the truth, my ancestor did not die at the end of his life, but went to the south and never came back. Maybe it was our ancestor who secretly arranged all this."
Ji Ye suddenly laughed a little, "When you said that, I remembered that Wu Gen is cunning by nature, but he has some tricks. He is like a cockroach that cannot be killed, so there is no need to worry too much. What I am worried about is Shui Congyue. , this person is aloof and arrogant, and if he refuses to retreat when facing an enemy, he may be in danger of dying early."
As he spoke, he asked with a strange look on his face, "That day you and Shui Yuexiang made an appointment to meet outside the continent. Was it a courtesy, or did you have something in mind."
Ming Zheng chuckled, "It's rude to come and not go back. Since they can come, I can go too."
Seeing that Ji Ye was a little anxious, he waved his hand to stop the other party from speaking, "I know that people from the Great Relic Continent will be poisoned by spiritual energy when they go to other continents. However, our clan's golden body method can ease this process. It won't take long. Not long, I can adapt to the spiritual energy. Da Yizhou is still a little small, and the outside is where I, Ming Zheng, can show off my talents."
After saying that, Ming Zheng turned around and galloped towards Black Rock City.
Wu Gen sat on the shaft of the car, leaning against the carriage, playing with the tailbone in his hand. Five days after leaving Black Rock City, Wu Gen took the initiative to take up the driving job on the grounds that he was too young and infirm to ride a horse. In essence, I wanted to get closer to the treasures in the carriage. These were picked up diligently along the way and robbed from the hands of powerful people. .five
Looking at the dazzling array of treasures on the car, my heart felt like a flower blooming. If I take this back, I can buy a few more houses in the capital. Living in the same place every day, taking turns, it was a comfortable life.
Baoxiang followed on horseback, "Wu Gen, don't be such a slut. It's getting colder and colder ahead, and supplies are becoming more and more difficult. Let's stock up on more food before we enter the snowfield."
Wu Gen nodded. He had experienced the lack of food in the ice field. Naturally, he knew that on the lifeless snow field, food and firewood were the most precious, and any exotic treasures were vain.
Standing up on the carriage shaft, Wu Gen shouted to everyone around him, "In the next three days, slow down your journey and everyone will go hunting. Everyone will reserve two months' worth."
Following Wu Gen's order, a group of people rode across the wilderness to search for something to eat. Fortunately, with the holly bird as a scout, everyone could spot the prey from a distance, making hunting much easier.
Three days later, Wu Gen couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he looked at the mountains of rats, rabbits, bears, wolves, and many unknown beasts in front of him.
There was plenty of prey, but how to take it away? In desperation, Wu Gen's heart was like a knife as he counted his treasures. He gave away what he could, and discarded what no one wanted, to make room for food. .
The road ahead is becoming more and more desolate, the green gradually disappears, the ground becomes more yellow-brown, and there are some snow scattered in it, which is a sign that we are about to enter the snowfield.
Wu Gen added another leather jacket to his body and looked at the line of white on the horizon, his face a little condensed.
Heavy. Once you enter the snowfield, no matter how high your cultivation level is, it is insignificant compared to the mighty power of heaven and earth. Whether you can come out alive depends on your luck.
On the long snowfield, the raging wind and snow turned into countless swords, whistling and slashing from all directions. There is white everywhere, white mountains, white valleys, and white fog, which is so monotonous that it makes people laugh.
Occasionally when the wind is calm and the snow is calm, the white snowfield is like a mirror, reflecting the sunlight into the sky without reservation. The light is like an arrow. After a long time, it seems to shoot out the human soul from the body.
This is a place of death, with no sign of life, but there is a row of small black dots, trudging on this lonely snowfield for thousands of years.
Wu Gen took off the mink fur covering his face. The long hair irritated his nose and itched a little. The sled loaded with food behind him made a crunching sound on the snow.
Looking at the sun that was always hanging on the horizon and refusing to take a step forward, Wu Gen was not in a good mood. Before coming, Ming Zheng had warned himself that if he entered the plains at this time, he would most likely encounter the polar night. Once immersed in the endless night, for a long time, people may become crazy.
Moreover, in the polar night, there may be inexplicable terrifying existences that engulf everything that walks in it. Generally speaking, no one is willing to step into the snowfield at this time, but Wu Gen has no choice. The entrance is closed for a long time. If he doesn't go to the snowfield, he will be a little unwilling.
After walking for a month, the sun finally sank into the ground reluctantly, and the sky and earth became dark. The green aurora is swimming in the sky, as if someone has splashed color on the dark screen, coming suddenly like an elf, and then passing away quietly. As Wu Gen and others watched the auroras rising and falling one after another, an inexplicable sense of solemn and solemn loneliness filled their hearts.
Sending mayflies to heaven and earth is like a drop in the ocean.
In this vast open world, people are just a speck of dust. The wind blows and the snow falls. Their insignificance makes people doubt the meaning of survival.
In fact, people have a tendency towards destruction, especially in this lonely environment, where doubt, self-abandonment, pessimism and other emotions are superimposed, and it is inevitable that they will sink into it and be unable to extricate themselves.
The wind gradually became stronger, whistling through the snowfield, making a strange roar, and the violent sound made people tremble. Pieces of snow flew over like sand and gravel, beating several people to the point where they could hardly stand. Even the always arrogant dragon horse whined and knelt down, burying its head deeply.
Wu Gen had no choice but to ask everyone to set up tents and hide in them. He took out the wine that he was reluctant to drink along the way and drank with everyone.
At this time, only by distracting everyone's attention can the stability of this team be maintained. Otherwise, as time goes by, all kinds of disharmony will naturally breed. Maybe the team will fall apart before the Taichu Stone is found.
While pushing cups and changing lamps, the holly bird suddenly squeezed in in fear, quacking and roaring with its head facing outside.
