Four hours ago.
The apricot door is gently closed.
Yang Zhen retracted her hand, smiled at Zhao Yue'er beside her, and held her delicate hand.
The girl's palms were cold and she could tell she was a little nervous.
Zixue said nothing and led the way, and the two of them followed behind.
This is a small courtyard with three entrances. Zixue is familiar with the road and goes directly to the innermost courtyard.
After passing through the corner gate, you are faced with a jade screen wall about ten feet high and three feet long, with a large mural painted on it.
In the painting, an old man with a round head, big ears, and kind eyes is suspended in the air, looking at the ground under his feet with a smile.
Countless people worshiped him on the ground with solemn and pious expressions.
In the sky above his head, a circular hole was slowly opening, and a golden light shot out from it, illuminating the old man's whole body with golden light.
"This is the imaginary picture of ascension that Old Man Huang Ji asked someone to carve out." Zixue said to herself.
Yang Zhen looked at the old man in the painting and was extremely surprised. No one could have imagined that the culprit who caused thousands of people in the Yunwang Sect to become insane would actually look so amiable.
He took a hard look at the portrait, and then came to the back of the screen wall with Zixue.
There is also a mural here——
A large bird with most of its body hidden in the clouds had a fierce face and an arrogant attitude, and a long flame was spurting out of its mouth.
On the ground, a human city was falling into a sea of fire. Countless people were struggling, howling, and begging for mercy in the flames. Some people fell to the ground and had been dead for a long time.
Although thousands of years have passed, the figures in the portraits are still lifelike and lifelike.
"What is this?" Zhao Yuer asked curiously.
"I don't know," Zixue said with confusion on her face: "This fire bird should be the legendary candle phoenix, which is a kind of ancient divine beast. It usually only appears in the fairy world, but it appears in the painting for some unknown reason."
"Could this Zhuhuang be related to Huang Ji?" She murmured to herself.
It's just this question that no one can answer.
Apart from this screen wall, there is nothing else in this yard, making it look empty. In the innermost part of the yard, there is a large house, which is called a back room among the people and is usually used to store sundries.
Zixue quickly walked over and pushed the door open.
A huge square sand table suddenly appeared in front of the three people.
The entire sand table is made of fine iron, about twenty feet long and ten feet wide. Most of what is shown on it is the blue ocean, and there are only two pieces of land of different sizes within a few feet in the center.
Among them, Yang Zhen recognized the topographic map of the Eastern Region at a glance, in which millions of mountains, wild forests in the south, vast deserts and other landforms surrounding the Xu Kingdom could be clearly seen.
To the east of this land, some islands such as Sangzhou and Island Alliance are also vividly visible.
However, the narrow red strait between Qin and Zhao today is missing. Obviously, this strait had not yet appeared when this sand table was made.
This confirms from the side that the theory that the Hongzhu Strait originated from the disaster three thousand years ago is not groundless.
The land on the left is the Western Region, which is about half the area of the Eastern Region and is in the northwest. In other words, the Western Region is further north and has a colder climate.
This continent is rich in sword cultivators, and there is also an ice and snow sect that is second to none in the Zhenyu world. Its overall strength is not inferior to the monks from the Eastern Region.
Unfortunately, the distance between the two continents is approximately equivalent to the span between the east and west of the entire Eastern Region. Because the teleportation arrays between them were also destroyed in the catastrophe, monks from the two places rarely communicate with each other now.
If you want to cross this ocean, you need at least the strength of the middle stage of the Golden Core. But now Jin Dan, who is not a very important figure in the country, how can he leave so easily?
Yang Zhen stared at the sand table for a long time. When he first crossed over, he felt that Shuyang County was very big, but later he discovered that Xu State was even wider, and after that, the Eastern Territory was even bigger. However, looking at the blue ocean that almost covered the entire sand table today, I suddenly felt that even the entire Zhenyu World seemed to be only this big.
In fact, the area of the Zhenyu Realm revealed by this sand table is less than one-tenth.
Yang Zhen looked through the sect's classics and not only knew that the Zhenyu Realm was a sphere, but also knew that there was a large landmass on the back of the sand table, but it was said that that place had been completely occupied by the demon clan for three thousand years. No one has been there.
"Is it possible for me to travel throughout Zhenyu in this lifetime?"
While he was meditating, he saw Zixue take out a palm-sized jade tablet from her sleeve, pinch it with her jade fingers, and soon a lotus flower appeared, carrying the jade tablet flying in the air.
Faintly, it seems that on the front of the jade plaque, there is the head of an old man, whose expression is almost the same as that of the old man Zhaobi.
The jade sign bounced back and forth nine times between the Eastern and Western Regions, and finally fell into the ocean between the two continents and disappeared.
Immediately, there seemed to be a tsunami, and where the jade tablet fell, the sand table began to move slowly to both sides. After a while, an underground passage measuring one foot square appeared in front of the three of them.
Zixue stopped the young man who was about to move forward, took out a dark bead from the ring and threw it down.
Half an hour later, she stretched out her hand, and the bead returned to her hand, and the color seemed a little darker.
Zixue looked at it for a moment and said with a serious face: "The yin energy is very strong down here, there should be a ghost."
A ghost is a kind of ghost whose consciousness is not extinguished after death. A ray of residual soul is born from the aura and wanders between heaven and earth. It is also commonly known as a ghost among the people.
The higher the deceased's cultivation level during his lifetime, the more serious his obsession, and the stronger the ghost's strength.
"What kind of strength?" Zhao Yuer's face turned pale and she asked in a trembling voice.
As early as when Zixue said she needed Yang Zhen's lightning help, this smart girl had already guessed the situation she might face.
Yunxiao Sect is a righteous sect. Although there are some inheritances of ghost cultivation in the sect, very few people practice it. Even if you practice, you still need to be under the supervision of the sect.
As for the territory of Xu State, there are no immortal cultivators for a long time. Even if there are still some ghost cultivators, they are hiding and dare not show others.
Therefore, most of the disciples of Yunxiao Sect lack experience in dealing with ghosts. As a girl, Zhao Yueer has an innate fear of these things.
Yang Zhen squeezed her palm quietly to comfort her.
"I don't know." Zixue shook her head, took out a few more things, and said with a smile:
"This is the Flame Sun Magic Bead. After being driven, it can emit strong light like the sun and can drive away ghosts."
"This is a magic robe to ward off evil spirits. After wearing it, the most common methods of possession, possession, hallucination, and ecstasy by evil ghosts and evil spirits will be ineffective. It can truly ward off evil spirits and be immune to all ghosts. Some low-level ones It’s impossible for ghosts to even get close.”
"This is a second-level mahogany sword. It can dissolve ghost energy and has a direct suppressive effect on ghosts."
"The last one is the soul-catching bell. This thing can shake the ghost's body, confuse its mind, and make it suck into the bell and imprison it."
After saying that, she gave each of these four magical artifacts to Yang Zhao, and she also took a magical robe and put it on herself.
Yang Zhen imitated her and put on the robes. Her heart suddenly became calm. She turned to look at Zhao Yue'er and saw the same thing.
"Let's go!" Zixue smiled brightly at them and stepped in first.
