Pu Zheng's expression changed suddenly, he couldn't help but patted the storage bag, and the long knife was in his hand instantly.
"No!" Zhou Yang was startled and hurriedly grabbed Pu Zheng.
In fact, Pu Zheng also knew that there was such a clean-faced old man in Xicheng, but he had never been there, and he had never met this person before. So how did he know his identity?
"As long as you don't act rashly, there is no danger." The old man said indifferently without even raising his eyelids.
Obviously, the old man's words did not refer to the present.
Puzheng was even more shocked. This person understood his identity just by glancing at him, and he said such words. Could it be that he knew his intention? Impossible, absolutely impossible. He is not an immortal, so how can he predict the future!
Maybe it's just a coincidence of words.
"Who are you?" Pu Zheng pointed his sword at the old man and asked coldly.
"It's time for you to leave!" The old man ignored him and issued the eviction order again.
"Senior, don't blame me. Let's leave now!" There was still an important task. Zhou Yang was afraid of an accident, so he hurriedly picked up Pu Zheng and walked out.
Pu Zheng took a deep look at the old man, put away his long knife, turned around and walked away, but his steps were a little heavy.
This person is too mysterious and he has no idea, so naturally he cannot stay here for a long time. However, when his secret was seen through, he still felt like a thorn in his back.
Although Zhou Yang was also shocked, luckily, the old man had helped him after all, so he probably wouldn't do anything behind their backs.
"This person's identity must not be simple, and he has been hiding in Anping for many years. What is his purpose?" After walking away, Pu Zheng frowned.
"It's a bit mysterious!" Zhou Yang nodded.
"We must be careful. By the way, tell us about the whole process of your disguise."
Zhou Yang will pass by truthfully.
"Strange, this person saw that I was not disguising myself for refuge, so I refused. But he only helped you, which is a bit intriguing. Could it be that you have some connection with him?" Pu Zheng asked doubtfully.
"I've never known this person, so there's no connection at all!" Seeing Pu Zheng say this, Zhou Yang said dissatisfied.
"I'm not doubting you. Don't be overly concerned. This person's matter is hard to figure out. I think you should have less contact with him in the future, so as not to ruin our important event." Pu Zheng waved his hand.
"I don't think this person has any malicious intentions, but he acts with a sense of restraining the strong and supporting the weak. It's just that his personality is a bit weird and hard for others to accept." Zhou Yang felt unhappy and defended the old man.
"No matter what, we must be more vigilant." Pu Zheng did not argue on this matter, but took out a bamboo hat and put it on, covering his entire face.
However, it is autumn now, and not many people wear bamboo hats on the streets.
The two arrived at the spirit beast area, and Zhou Yang exchanged his own green wolf for a fourth-level green wolf for the price of five hundred spirit stones. After buying some dry food and other supplies, he left the west city and headed out of the north city along the path between Lingtian.
The two of them acted cautiously and not very fast. They arrived a hundred miles north of the city just before noon.
This place is already at the edge of the spiritual field outside the city, and going further north is an endless stretch of wasteland.
Three thousand miles north of the city is the Gale Forest, and the new mineral vein discovered by Xuanfu Sect is deep in the forest.
The reason why it is called the Windy Forest is because there are often strong winds in that forest, which last for several days at a time. During this period, it is difficult for ordinary cultivators to survive in the forest. They will be blown away by the strong wind and unable to stand, or even blown into the depths of the forest, becoming food for high-level monsters.
However, strong winds mostly occur in spring and summer, and rarely occur in autumn and winter.
The trees in the Windy Forest are tall, strong, and resilient, able to withstand strong winds. Most of the monsters in the forest have wind attributes and can adapt to the raging wind. But after the cultivator enters, if he encounters a strong wind, it will be tragic, and the outcome will be death or injury.
Because of this, few people enter the forest.
"I don't know how the Xuanfu Sect discovered the refined copper veins!" Zhou Yang said with emotion after listening to Pu Zheng's introduction to the Wild Wind Forest.
"My sect has its own treasure hunting hall." Pu Zheng said.
"oh."
"By the way, thousands of miles further to the north of Guangfeng Forest is the Daqing Mountain where you slaughter Yan City." Pu Zheng said again.
"That's it." Zhou Yang suddenly said.
He was very familiar with Daqingshan, where there was a fine iron mine. Previously it was shared by the Ziyuan Sect and the Tu Yancheng families, but now it is exclusively owned by the Ziyuan Sect. However, the mine was severely damaged by the beast tide, and Zi Yuanzong was unable to mine it. In addition, it was difficult to find mine slaves, so it had been in a state of suspension before. Zi Yuanzong lost its biggest income and life was very difficult.
However, thanks to Zhou Yang's matchmaking, Ziyuanzong signed an assistance contract with Tongzhou Commercial Bank, and the commercial bank helped the mine resume mining.
The mine is currently being rebuilt, but it will take some time to resume mining.
Pu Zheng and Zhou Yang rode green wolves into the wilderness, galloping all the way north, bringing up large amounts of grass clippings wherever they passed.
As the saying goes, the autumn wind rises, the weeds fall, wolves cry and small animals hiss.
The weeds in the wilderness have begun to turn yellow, and they all fall to one side in the autumn wind. When the wind suddenly changes, they fall to the other side.
In addition to weeds, dwarf trees, and thorns, there are also hills and many small hills in the wilderness. Large monsters are hidden among the weeds and shrubs, making them difficult to detect. However, many small beasts were scurrying around the hills and mountains, either hunting or playing. They were suddenly disturbed by the green wolf that was rushing past. They immediately scattered and disappeared into the grass.
Not long after, a small patch of bushes appeared in front of them.
These trees are different from other dwarf trees. They have many branches, slender leaves, yellow-green color, and bright yellow fruits growing in the branches.
The round yellow fruits floated in the wind, and some were blown down into the grass and disappeared, while more fruits hung stubbornly on the branches.
Pu Zheng jumped off the green wolf and walked straight towards the bushes.
Zhou Yang didn't know why, so he also got off the green wolf to follow him.
When he arrived under the short tree, Pu Zheng reached out and picked out a yellow fruit, put it directly into his mouth, closed his eyes and chewed it, as if he was enjoying the delicious taste of the fruit.
Leaning slightly, Pu Zheng finished one, looked back at Zhou Yang, picked another one and put it into his mouth.
Zhou Yang was curious and took off a thin Duanxiang.
The fruit was slightly larger than a bird's egg, yellow and orange, and looked appetizing, so he took a bite.
"Poof!" He spat out the pulp.
"Why is it so painful?"
Pu Zheng showed a rare smile and said: "Try taking another bite, hold on, don't spit it out."
"This is obviously bitter, so unpalatable!" Zhou Yang grinned.
"Haha, take another bite. If you feel it's still bitter, don't eat it." After saying that, Pu Zheng swallowed another fruit, then closed his eyes and continued to enjoy it.
Zhou Yang was surprised that what he ate was so sweet, so he took another bite of the pulp, but it was still bitter. However, after hearing what Pu Zheng said, he did not spit it out immediately.
But after two breaths, the bitterness suddenly disappeared, replaced by a sweetness that was refreshing and extremely delicious! And after eating, there is still a faint spiritual energy entering the Dantian, which is very refreshing.
"It turns out that it's bitter first and then sweet!" Zhou Yang suddenly realized.
After that, every time he took a bite of the pulp, he would close his eyes and enjoy the whole process from bitter to sweet, but thousands of thoughts gradually appeared in his heart.
This feeling is like life, where you will experience all kinds of hardships. Only by persisting and overcoming all kinds of difficulties can you reach the other side of victory and taste the sweet fruits.
Zhou Yang lamented the magic of nature and the Creator. Everything is connected by fate, and the same is true in life.
"This is a yellow forest tree, and the fruit it bears is a yellow forest fruit, which is also called sweet after suffering. It is just an ordinary spiritual fruit, but it tastes very good." Pu Zheng explained at this time.
"Oh. But this place is only three or four hundred miles away from Beicheng. Why doesn't anyone come to pick it?" Zhou Yang asked puzzled.
"Thousands of miles north of the city is the territory of the Xuanfu Sect. Others are not allowed to come and go at will. Only when the disciples of the sect are practicing, this wasteland will be inhabited." The pride in Pu Zheng's eyes flashed away.
"Xuanfu Sect is really domineering." Zhou Yang shook his head.
"This is the foundation laid by my Xuanfu Sect ancestors, and it naturally belongs to our sect." Pu Zheng said calmly.
Zhou Yang realized that Puzheng didn't like what he said. After all, he is also from the Xuanfu Sect. He is only against Zhou Yuanzheng, not the sect.
Zhou Yang stuffed a yellow lingo into his mouth and stopped talking.
After eating a few, he wanted to bring some back to Tiehu and others to try, so he went into the forest to pick them.
"Don't go in, and don't pick any more fruits. Just taste a few." Pu Zheng stopped him.
"I'll get some for Senior Brother and the others to try." Zhou Yang didn't stop.
"The disciples of the Xuanfu Sect will be here tomorrow. I saw someone picking a lot of fruits. Do you think we can still stay here?"
"Yes, it will be troublesome if they find out that someone has been here. I'd better not pick it off." Hearing this, Zhou Yang stopped hurriedly.
It's okay to pick a few to taste. If you pick too many, you'll leave more traces.
Alas, Tiehu and the others are not going to be lucky now.
Next, the two urged the green wolf to continue heading north.
During the afternoon's journey, they also encountered several monster attacks, but the highest ones were only level four low-level monsters. During this period, Puzheng only took action once, and Zhou Yang dealt with most of them. Some of them escaped after being severely injured, but unfortunately they were killed by Zhou Yang and thrown into the storage bag.
The third- and fourth-level monster materials can also be sold for some spiritual stones, and he doesn't want to waste them.
Suddenly, a golden and huge monster sprang out of the woods, frightening the two green wolves.
"Golden-backed jackal!"
Zhou Yang's eyes lit up, this guy was full of treasures and could sell a lot of spiritual stones.
"This beast is fierce, so be careful." Pu Zheng reminded.
"Don't worry." Even though he said this, Zhou Yang was not very confident. The golden-backed jackal in front of me is a fourth-level mid-level monster, equivalent to the seventh or eighth level of a cultivator's spiritual platform.
However, before he could take action, the golden-backed jackal pounced towards him, but his target was the green wolf under Pu Zheng's seat.
Although the green wolf was also at level four, it was trembling with fear and kept retreating in front of it.
Pu Zheng raised his hand and there was a flash of light. The golden-backed jackal kept moving, but he actually withstood the blow.
"Poof!", its fur just turned over, and there were no scratches at all.
Zhou Yang's eyes brightened even more. The back of this beast is very tough and is a good material for refining magic shields. Just one piece of it is worth hundreds of spirit stones.
