Under the centralized system, the boundaries of each administrative region in Dahuang are very different. This division of boundaries has profound meaning.
Taking the administrative region of the sect as an example, if a province is located in a basin and is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and with formations and plank roads set up, it would be really difficult to break into it.
In order to prevent the vassal towns of the Tang Dynasty from separatist rule or the local area being too big to lose, one side of the surrounding mountains would be placed under the jurisdiction of another province. If you want to be a thorn, you have to reconsider whether you can still block my attack without a barrier this time.
In order to prevent various places from taking advantage of the geographical advantages to gain power, the division of land boundaries will inevitably require me to cut off a barrier for you and you to take a piece of land for me. Naturally, it is difficult for the final boundary to show a regular appearance.
There may even be a phenomenon where an area in the middle of Province A comes under the control of Province B. @ This kind of land is an enclave.
Coupled with the long history of the Great Wilderness, it has become extremely difficult to draw clear boundaries in many areas.
There is no iconic object standing on the border of Daxiantian. Xuan Sheng just pointed at a diseased tree and concluded, "We have entered Daxiantian."
It took seven months just to travel. During this period, Gu Yucheng and Xuan Sheng spent a lot of time to avoid chaos in various places, and even just to prevent the official residence from arresting loose cultivators and being caught as soldiers.
Gu Yucheng was quite tired of the chaos along the way, with deep depression and resentment in his heart. At this moment, he looked at the diseased tree that had lost its vitality and recalled everything that happened along the way.
Thanks to the "blessing" of attacks from various places and chaos, the originally small number of beggar gangs increased significantly.
Unlike the previous beggar gangs, which relied on begging and cultivating themselves, the new beggar gangs are completely self-organized begging organizations formed by casual cultivators. Some people who really can't survive have no choice but to beg. ——Cultivation is not important now, life is important. .c
However, food prices have increased in various places.
What's more, some beggar gangs even harvest and cut off the seeds of lone cultivators, and then make them beg to gain sympathy from others and thus make a profit.
Gu Yucheng and Xuan Sheng once encountered a case.
Upon seeing this, Gu Yucheng contacted the Beggar Gang and even Bai Zimo to explain the current situation.
The Beggar Clan was out of reach, so Bai Zimo just replied with three words: "I know".
Xuan Sheng was extremely cheerful and was not afraid to laugh wildly at these phenomena.
Gu Yucheng raised a cold eyebrow and asked, "You devil! What's so funny! Harvesting, cutting and cutting is not something that one person can do!"
The announcement changed from wild laughter to sneer: "Look at the fake Buddha! This is a phenomenon of immorality in the temple. What I am laughing at is the phenomenon of "thieves acting as officials, officials acting as thieves, and virtuous and foolish people"! Why can't we laugh? Instead of lamenting in vain, it is better to expose Turn the world upside down!"
"I am Wan Jing. I hate the rotten world. I would rather poke a hole, break the world like Gonggong, and bear infamy for eternity, than swallow my anger! What's more, you think I am as cautious as you, my world, I have always been happy with my grudges! I have always said, "I would rather let the world down!" Xuan Sheng waved his sleeves and walked forward, looking up to the sky and laughing again.
The laughter seemed to still be in my ears.
After coming back to his senses, he saw Xuan Sheng looking at him with a playful expression. Gu Yucheng ignored him and followed Xuan Sheng through the diseased tree.
After walking more than a thousand steps, I saw a stone monument as high as a person in the distance.
There are two lines of words engraved on the stele: "Two words of fame and great fame in heaven, and several battles in the world."
After savoring the charm carefully, I suddenly recalled the scene when I came here. The more I looked at the "several battles between people in the world", the more I felt sighing.
Xuansheng stared at the stone tablet for a long time, and without any warning, he said, "These two lines of characters existed in the Great Immortal Heaven a long time ago. Later, the Twelve Heavenly Movement Skills were written down at this moment, allowing people to peek into the skills contained in the words. Some of them have realized it. He might even be accepted as a disciple. I understand a little bit, but I know it's not suitable for me."
After hearing this, Gu Yucheng used his ancient spiritual power to sense the stone tablet. He suddenly sensed an aura of transcendence and repulsion hidden in the tablet, which was far from what he thought in his heart, so he decisively gave up on enlightenment.
Xuanyuan looked at Gu Yucheng's pair of golden moves, beckoned and shouted, "Follow closely."
The two of them walked up the river, looking at the desolate scenery, and shouted loudly, "I have seen the soft red fragrant earth, and lived in the desolate land! - Hahahaha!"
Gu Yucheng stopped and said, "Didn't you say that the Great Immortal should be careful in his conduct?"
Xuansheng dismissed it, "That means you, I don't need it."
Gu Yucheng wanted to take action.
Actually two.
They all want to attack each other, but Xuansheng has not been able to break through the Ningding Cauldron until now. The reason is naturally due to the Heaven-Relting Forging in his body. _o_m
Gu Yucheng wanted to teach Xuan Sheng how to behave more than once, but even though Xuan Sheng was restricted by Rongtian Forging, his own realm was still there. ——This is why the two of them have been able to live in peace and harmony for so long.
After a while, the two of them entered a canyon in silence. The dry walls on both sides were as flat as mirrors. Among the rough texture of the stone and soil walls, old and thin trees grew diagonally, like thorns on the stone walls, casting large shadows.
Let the crows chatter in your ears, and the smoke and dust rise, and the dark and decadent sky clouds seem to be opened, revealing the bright and dazzling sky.
What comes into view together with the sky is the suddenly open ground.
Outside the canyon, there is a large white forest, like halberds piercing the ground, giving off an inexplicable atmosphere of vastness.
Walking cautiously and boldly through the woods, you will see a large area of uninhabited land.
There are no buildings, vegetation, or traces of animals on the earth. It is as if the sky and the earth have come to an end, and the sun and moon have disappeared here, leaving nothing.
Xuan Sheng raised his nose and said, "Wow, the seabass smells delicious. It's the best tonic after being exposed to the wind and rain. It would be even better if there is a hot pot."
Gu Yucheng didn't smell anything. Xuan Sheng had already determined a direction and started running wildly on the monotonous and boring land.
The aroma of fish is getting stronger and stronger, making people salivate.
Xuan Sheng shook his index finger and said, "Haha, I can eat it this time."
But in front of me is another mountain forest.
The green water is green, the mountains are green and the clouds are dyed, the wind blows the leaves, and the water ripples create smoke.
Following the guidance of his nose, Gu Yucheng and Xuan Sheng came to a stone wall.
Gu Yucheng looked strange. ——There are mountains and rocks in front of him, and no matter how much spiritual power he senses, he can't detect any problems. If it weren't for the ancient spiritual power, Gu Yucheng wouldn't believe that there would be anyone hiding here. ——It is no exaggeration to say that it is a perfect concealment.
However, the fragrance of fish is constantly coming out, and it really lives up to this top-notch pretense.
Xuan Sheng took full spiritual power in his hand and punched out, shattering the stone wall in front of him.
The wall collapsed, and the image of a young man cooking fish jumped into view.
"Brother...brother?" Xuanqing was stunned for a moment, then looked at Gu Yucheng, and shouted enthusiastically, "The visitor is a guest, come, come, sit down and eat fish with us. Try my craftsmanship."
Gu Yucheng, who had been on the road for many days, was not polite. He sat down in front of the young man, took the gilt bowl decorated with lotus patterns, filled it with fish soup, and after taking a sip of the stomach-warming soup, he shivered with satisfaction.
Only then did Gu Yucheng realize that the bowl was not ordinary, the jade was not ordinary, and even the small tripod for cooking fish was not ordinary.
Gu Yucheng sighed smoothly, "Is this your junior brother? So low-key and luxurious? He lives in a cave, but everything he uses is gold and jade."
Xuan Sheng said, "Huhu, it's not his."
Xuanqing nodded, "Yes. They are not the same."
Before Gu Yucheng could get dizzy, Xuan Qing said something astonishing: "The owner of the tomb is truly extravagant. He actually buried the spiritual jade in the coffin."
tomb? coffin? .
