"You're awesome." Yang Zhen really didn't want to speak. It seems that Yang Ning's forbearance this year is probably just for this time. Recalling the looks in the village that usually ostracized Yang Ning, Yang Zhen wanted to laugh.
"Okay, finish your meal quickly and rest." Yang Ning stared at the rabbit meat on the shelf. At this time, the rabbit meat was already cooked, and the three of them were even more hungry.
Yang Ning took the rabbit meat from the shelf and the three of them started eating. Dusk falls quietly outside, announcing that another day is coming to an end. However, as if unwilling to end, Sunshine is still making its final struggle.
The Qingsong Mountain Range is located on the border of Liuyun Kingdom, and on the back of the mountain is the Uci Empire, one of the Sixteen Kingdoms of Surabaya. The Yuci Empire was not established for a short period of time like the Liuyun Kingdom. But it has been here for who knows how many years, and is much stronger than Liuyun Kingdom. Because of the Qingsong Mountains, it will not pose a threat to Liuyun Kingdom. But there was still friction.
Thousands of miles away.
"Zhao Dongyan, do you Yuci want to attack our country, Liuyun?" The two armies faced each other. Both sides were filled with fighting spirit, as if they were about to start fighting. The soldiers wrapped in iron armor on both sides had their eyes on fire, waiting for an order at any time.
"Qin Feng, you and I left our names in the general hall. Today I want to see you." Zhao Dongyan's eyes were like a torch. He was dressed in blood red and iron armor, riding a red horse. He walked in front of the troops and stared at the people in the middle of the opponent's camp. Location. Although the two are not very familiar with each other, they are also close enemies.
This is the junction of the Yuci Empire and the Liuyun Kingdom. It is less than five hundred miles away from Qushan City.
"General, they are obviously here for the spiritual crystal mine, and they actually said..." A general beside Qin Feng said.
"I know." Qin Feng knew the purpose of Yuci Empire's advance this time. Not long ago, a spiritual crystal mine was discovered south of the Qingsong Mountains, which is a good thing for Liuyun Kingdom. But because the person who discovered the spiritual crystal mine was from the Uci Empire, and he was also a trialist who came to the Qingsong Mountains. And the news leaked out, now not only Liuyun Kingdom and Yuci Empire, but also several nearby countries are ready to take action. What's even worse is that the martial arts practitioners from several nearby countries have even taken notice of the news. Everyone is waiting for this confrontation between the two regimes. Take advantage of it to earn interest.
"Zhao Dongyan, I know I'm not as good as you, and there's no need for us to compete." Qin Feng and Zhao Dongyan were both famous generals from the Sixteen Kingdoms of Surabaya. Qin Feng, in particular, is at the forefront of the General Hall's 100-member list. More than twenty places higher than Zhao Dongyan. But Qin Feng knew in his heart that if he had not relied on the natural chasm of the Qingsong Mountains in recent years, the Gale Force Army he commanded would have been defeated by Zhao Dongyan.
The two have often fought against each other over the years. Qin Feng could feel Zhao Dongyan's terror every time. If it weren't for the steep terrain in the northern part of the Qingsong Mountains and the insufficient successor strength of the Uci Empire, the Uci Empire's cavalry might have already trampled the Liuyun Kingdom.
"You are talking about the past, but it is different now. If a spiritual crystal mine appears in your Liuyun Kingdom, you alone cannot save it." Zhao Dongyan felt a sense of sympathy for this old rival. He knew his own situation, and if he wanted to break through the chasm of the Qingsong Mountains, it would be impossible for him to be Qin Feng's opponent unless he mobilized the whole country. But he had no choice. The spiritual crystal mine, something that many cultivators dreamed of, actually appeared in Liuyun Kingdom. He, Zhao Dongyan, had no choice.
"Whether we can protect it or not, that's my business, Liuyun Kingdom." Qin Feng knew that with the military strength of Liuyun Kingdom, he would never be able to protect this spiritual crystal mine, but again, he had no choice.
"Okay, in that case, without further ado, let's wait and see." Zhao Dongyan's face remained as usual, and he had expected such a result. After speaking, Zhao Dongyan retreated without any hesitation.
Looking at Zhao Dongyan leaving, Qin Feng looked solemnly. Although the two of them cherish each other. But when it comes to the battlefield, it will definitely not be like today.
"General, would you like to be the last general tonight..." The deputy general looked at the leaving army.
"We won't go. We have too much time to take care of ourselves, so we still have the energy to steal the camp." Qin Feng knew what the deputy general meant, but the border was no longer peaceful.
Qin Feng looked up at the sky. He didn't speak for a long time, looked at the setting sun that was like blood, and murmured: "It's going to bleed again." Qin Feng turned around and said, "Go back to camp."
In the distant sky, only half of the sun was left. Under the setting sun, two needles of smoke and dust were billowing and spreading to both sides.
Five days later.
"Are you going to the Qingsong Mountains?" There were several times more pedestrians on the road than before.
"Nonsense, who doesn't go to the Qingsong Mountains now?" one person replied. But there were countless curses on the road, seeming to laugh at the ignorance of the previous person.
…
On the official road leading to the Qingsong Mountains, countless people swarmed away, one after another, as if they were possessed.
"What's going on?" It was Yang Ning and the others who asked just now. Looking at the vast sea of people, Yang Zhen finally asked. If I had known, although there were quite a few people heading to the Qingsong Mountains on weekdays, there wouldn't be so many of them. This was more than ten times more than usual.
"I don't know." Yang Pi was a little surprised. Looking at the flow of people coming and going, most of them are practitioners. This made Yang Pi curious, and judging from their clothes, it seemed that they were not the only cultivators from Liuyun Kingdom.
"Hey, brother, can you ask what happened?" Yang Ning stopped a middle-aged cultivator who was in a hurry and asked. Judging from the fluctuations in his spiritual power, he should be a practitioner at the fifth level of the Mountain Viewing Realm.
"Aren't you from the Qingsong Mountains? Why don't you know?" This man was polite and was not angry at Yang Ning and the others for interrupting his schedule.
Yang Ning shook his head, "We just came out of the mountains today and have been in the Qingsong Mountains for almost a month." Yang Ning explained.
"Oh, that's it." The man understood immediately. However, it was a bit surprising that Yang Ning and the others could stay in the Qingsong Mountains for a month. After all, the cultivation of these three people is very clear to him.
"Five days ago, a spiritual crystal mine was discovered in the Qingsong Mountains." This man was obviously a casual cultivator, otherwise he would not be so approachable. Generally, powerful practitioners have already entered the Qingsong Mountains.
"What?" Yang Zhen exclaimed. Although Yang Zhen has never seen the spirit crystal mine, he has heard about it for a long time.
Spirit crystal, a kind of crystal that contains rich spiritual power. It can be said to be one of the most important resources for practitioners. Yang Shengfeng had told them about this very early. Spiritual crystals can be said to be the currency of cultivators. Moreover, spiritual crystals are also the standard for measuring a person's strength.
"Yes, there is a spiritual crystal mine in the Qingsong Mountains." The man repeated, "Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. I'm going to go first and see if I can get some benefits." The man was self-aware. On this channel, many auras are stronger than this person. What's more, there are many big forces that are not included in this list.
"Senior, walk slowly." The three said goodbye.
"Spirit crystal mine." Yang Zhen recalled what the man said just now, with enthusiasm in his eyes.
"What? Do you want to go?" Yang Pi noticed that Yang Zhen's face was no different from the face of the person on the pipeline, so he covered Yang Zhen's face.
Yang Zhen was not polite and nodded without hesitation.
"If you want to go on your own," Yang Pi said. Look at this dense flow of people. Although there are occasional ordinary people passing through inside. But most of them are cultivators, and many of them have much stronger spiritual power fluctuations than the three of them.
"Brother Pizi, you really don't want to go?" Yang Ning was a little surprised that someone could be tempted by the spirit crystal and still look as normal and seemed unmoved. Yang Ning was a little curious.
"It's not that I don't want to go, but I don't have the strength to fight for it." Yang Pi explained, how could Yang Pi not be tempted by the spiritual crystal? Those are spiritual crystals, spiritual crystals that cultivators can directly absorb. Who can not be tempted by them?
"Brother Pizi, you are open-minded." Yang Ning had to admire Yang Pi for having such a mentality. There was more on his mind than Yang Pi thought. If Yang Pi does not die young, with this mentality, I am afraid that he will definitely be one of the strong men in the future.
"It's not open-minded, it's uncertain, and it's dangerous." Yang Pi still wanted to go, but he had to keep himself useful. After all, he had not avenged his revenge, so he couldn't take risks.
"Brother Pizi, you are wrong." Yang Ning said, Yang Ning knew very well about Yang Pi's heart.
"wrong?"
"Wrong." Yang Ning nodded, "Cultivation is just dancing on the tip of a knife. Without the ups and downs along the way, how can one's state of mind improve? What's more, every cultivator absorbs spiritual energy and competes with the sky. Fighting on the ground is really a process of fighting against others. Otherwise, how can we make progress?" Yang Ning said, and couldn't help but think of that song.
When practicing mountain climbing, one level of mountain is one level of heaven.
A very simple sentence, but it expressed countless heartache, blood and tears.
Cultivation is like rushing through the sand. Only by constantly polishing yourself can you finally reach the top of the mountain.
Yang Ning paused and then said: "Brother Pizi, it's not that your idea is bad. Being able to resist temptation is a state of mind. However, if you don't fight, how can you break through yourself again and again? So as to make progress." Yang Ning does not deny Yang Pi's mentality, but cultivation means everyone crossing a single-plank bridge. Only if you are strong enough can you reach the other side.
"Well said." There was a round of applause from the side.
The three of them went out looking for fame. I saw a young man in a brocade robe, gorgeously dressed, with a folding fan in his hand. He looked elegant and walked slowly towards the three of them.
"This dear friend said it well." The person came with a smile on his face and commented on what Yang Ning just said. "Although it cannot be generalized, my dear friend's words do express the essence of cultivation."
"Brothers, are you going to try your luck?" The visitor was not polite, his face was sunny, and he did not interrupt Yang Ning's consciousness at all, looking familiar.
"Dare you ask, brother?" Yang Zhen stared at the person who had suddenly arrived, and was a little surprised that he was so polite. After all, in the officialdom, no one is in a hurry, but looking at this person, he seems to be wandering around. not simple.
Visitors are also surprised, the pedestrians on the road are all greedy pedestrians, but these three principles are here to talk about the state of mind of cultivation. not simple. "My name is Yao Xinhen. It's an honor to meet you three." Yao Xinhen put away his folding fan, clasped his fists, and introduced himself to his family.
"Yao Xin..." Before Yang Pi could finish speaking, Yang Ning reacted immediately. In this Western Wilderness, there are not many people with the surname Yao. Could it be Yaozhou? Yang Ning looked at Yao Xinhen and found that the temperament of a child of a big family flickered in and out of this man. He was obviously hidden by some treasure, but the demeanor in his movements was definitely not that of an ordinary cultivator.
"But the Yao family in Yaozhou?" Yang Ning asked.
Yao Xinhen did not expect that the other party would see his origin at a glance, and his eyes lit up, "No." Yao Xinhen denied it. Yao Xinhen did not want to reveal his origin.
"My name is Yang Zhen." Yang Zhen was not polite. When he saw the person announcing his family name, he immediately said his name. Then he pointed at Yang Pi and Yang Ning and said their names.
When Yang Ning heard Yao Xinhen's denial, he was sure in his heart that this was definitely the Yao family in Yaozhou, but how could someone from Yaozhou appear here?
Yaozhou is one of the five continents in the Western Wilderness. The Liuyun Kingdom where they are located is Liangzhou, and the entire Sixteen Kingdoms of Surabaya are the boundaries of Liangzhou.
It is conceivable that Yaozhou has the same status as Liangzhou, and this Yaozhou is not like Liangzhou, where there are many countries. Yaozhou is a dominant family, and the Yao family has absolute say in Yaozhou. This is also the reason why Yang Ning can think of it immediately.
