"It's best that you don't take action with others in the near future." Hua Jianci listened to their negotiations and advised them kindly.
The curse has appeared. The journey of more than a thousand miles has been really bumpy, with quicksand and quagmire at each step. Inexplicably, he has become the object of hatred of ferocious beasts and raptors. The hidden murderous intention is gradually expanding.
During the fight, if he suddenly ducked and twisted his feet, he might even hit them and attack them.
You can't practice cultivation either. If you encounter an unexpected situation, you might go crazy.
Zhan Changfeng could see an ominous force trying to cling to her luck pillar. She couldn't deny that she would have bad luck before this force disappeared. This was because her luck was strong enough to prevent it from being eroded by pollution.
"If I don't do it, who will." Zhan Changfeng didn't care much, "You have given me the talisman to ward off evil spirits. Just wait until it subsides."
"You don't have to come in person." Hua Jianci took the initiative to say, considering that he asked her to get the things, "If it's not gone by then, how about I do it for you."
Zhan Changfeng nodded and smiled lightly, "Speaking of which, why do you think I will regret not taking that thing?"
"I just feel that it has some indirect relationship with you, and it might be useful to keep it." Hua Jianci pondered for a moment, and said frankly, "Actually, it seems to have some indirect relationship with me, but it's just vague and can't be counted."
Zhan Changfeng was thoughtful and looked calm.
Seeing that she was silent, Hua Jianci thought she was angry. Seeing the tribal gathering place on the horizon getting closer and closer, Hua Jianci slowly said, "I'm sorry."
"...I wanted to take it myself, what are you sorry for?" Zhan Changfeng said, "I was just thinking that I might know what's going on."
Hua Jianci finally looked directly at her and saw that she was indeed not angry, so he asked, "What's going on?"
"It has something to do with the stars. Maybe there are stars in the Big Dipper that have entered your life palace."
Zhan Changfeng spoke vaguely, but Hua Jianci understood roughly.
Speaking of the Ming Palace, of course she, a divination master, knew that she was a greedy wolf sitting in the Ming Palace, but the birth date and the numerology of the Ming Palace were not allowed to be disclosed to the outside world. Zhan Changfeng didn't ask much, so he didn't mention it.
The living environment in the icy wilderness is dangerous, and the people here live together in tribes. A total of 21 tribes gather to live on the Fanhe Plain. Each tribe is equivalent to a small town, a small country, and a small sect. Each operates its own camp, and none of its techniques are passed on to others. .
There is also a powerful tribe named Dapeng in the south, and its leader has established himself as a marquis, called Jinchihou.
The average level of the twenty-one tribes on the plain is in Xiantian and Jiji. There are only ten tribes with life and death status, which cannot keep up with the scattered cultivation cities built by foreign monks in the west.
Zhan Changfeng and Hua Jianci disappeared and passed by various tribes. Looking at the strict deployment of sentries and closed village gates of these tribes, they knew that they were closed in the inheritance of their skills.
"Basically, a tribe has one kind of skill. Just like a sect, monks in the tribe are prohibited from secretly learning other skills, and they are also prohibited from passing on their own tribe's skills to others." Closure also means cohesion to a certain extent. and loyalty, it would be difficult for Zhan Changfeng to conquer these people.
But if you don't conquer the local tribes, how can you strengthen your own power? You can't go to the two continents every time you recruit disciples.
Zhan Changfeng was also thinking about this question, "Is there no mortal tribe here?"
"Yes, there is." Hua Jianci stepped forward to lead the way.
The road became more and more deviated, over a mountain, and arrived at a barren land where no wild beast was willing to go. There were wooden houses standing close together. From a distance, they looked like a pile of rotten wood squeezed into a wasteland with sparse vegetation.
Really rotten wood.
The so-called wooden house is to use some sticks to build a low triangular shed less than six or seven square feet on the ground. It is covered with hay. If you bend down and look into the shed, you will see that it is either dark or tattered. Wrapped in a thin body that does not know whether it is dead or alive.
"Some tribes would reject mortals, so they were sent here. This place is so barren that even birds and beasts will not come. It is indeed safe, but it is also so poor that even a piece of land cannot be planted." When Hua Jianci spoke, a big A pregnant woman in ragged clothes walked by with a basket on her head. Behind her were a group of children, the oldest one was seventeen or eighteen years old, and the younger one was still staggering. There were fifteen of them in total.
Everyone is holding firewood or carrying wild vegetables in their hands.
"In their minds, the only way out is for their children to be talented in cultivation and be accepted by outside tribes. As long as one of them is promising, the whole family will not have to worry." Huajian said, "If you want to help them, you can , but if you want to accept them, I advise you to forget it. Some backward villages are simple and honest, but some are full of unruly people."
Zhan Changfeng glanced at the half-buried human bones and hair next to a shed, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Cannibalism?"
"I don't eat it often. I will use certain names to sacrifice 'unknown people' every once in a while. In fact, everyone here tacitly agrees to eat meat." Hua Jian said, "Most of the people here are old people, women, children, or cunning and lazy people. Those who have some ability have found ways to do odd jobs in various tribes."
This nameless village is like a pool of sewage, stinking and dirty. Whether it is the ground or the wooden shed, the body exudes decay.
Zhan Changfeng swept his consciousness and estimated that there were between one and two thousand people living here.
They can't find food or land for planting. In this situation, they can change their bad habits and restore their energy and spirit. I'm afraid they have only faith.
However, Zhan Changfeng didn't want to do anything unnecessary for the time being, so he and Hua Jianci passed by here to explore other dangerous caves and cultivating tribes.
On the other side, Yan Ce, Xu Yang, and Zhou Qianming climbed to the top of a mountain, and their eyes suddenly opened wide. What a wonderful sight it was!
Looking away, the land is desolate and empty, but there is a celestial phenomenon, as if someone left the moonlight here and gave it boundless brilliance!
Yan Ce suddenly remembered the dangerous places he had inquired about with passers-by. One of the notorious dangerous places was called the Moonlight Delta.
I even remembered the last sentence that praised its magnificence: Maybe this brilliance does not belong to the human world, so all the birds, animals, humans, demons and ghosts that enter it drown in the light!
At first, the monks suspected that there was a strange treasure here, and they went to explore it one after another. In the end, it gained the reputation of a cursed place, and they flocked to it, avoided it, and no one cared about it.
"Weird." There was a ball of earth spirit nestled in Yan Ce's palm, cooing and coquettishly.
If it weren't for its well-behaved nature, I would have thought it was pointing the wrong way.
Since Mr. Ling received the task from Zhan Changfeng, he has been working non-stop to draw the direction of the spiritual veins according to the general direction of the earth spirit, supplemented by his ability to control the body.
The spiritual energy of this spiritual vein was locked for some reason, whether naturally or acquired, so its spiritual energy did not spill into nature, and therefore, no one discovered its existence.
Yan Ce rotated the Qingwu Sutra and carefully determined the direction of the air flow, and then he determined its location 100%. It is almost ten thousand miles long and has hundreds of branches.
Touching its main veins, they came here, thinking that they were about to find its source and its largest spiritual cave. But what appeared in front of them was a fierce place, and they couldn't feel much vitality of heaven and earth. It would be a waste to practice here. time.
"Is there something wrong with this spiritual vein?" Xu Yang pinched a handful of soil and sighed, "It is indeed so barren that it is difficult to plant anything."
"I will draw it first and ask Elder Ling to convey the discovery to the clan leader."
