Shui Ni said as he took off his cloak.
She showed an expression of relief, breathed a long sigh of relief, drank another glass of spiritual wine, and then explained:
"The barbarians have a fire in their backyard now. They have too much time to take care of themselves. How can they dare to launch an offensive? As for the cause of the fire, I have sent people to investigate, and I think we will get the results in the near future."
"Stop talking about this... Disciple, you don't know how boring it is to be a master here alone!"
You're bored, so you tricked your apprentice into coming here?
Lu Zhong was speechless.
The two of them chatted and chatted, drinking more and more Shui Ni Ling wine.
Soon, she came over.
Her mature and delicate body is like a peach, her skin is whiter than snow and rosy, and she has a different kind of womanly charm that is really hard to refuse.
When Lu Zhong saw her like this, he wished he could eat him alive, so he could only kindly remind her: "Master, you must learn to control your desires!"
"Restrain desires?" Shui Ni drank another glass of spiritual wine and smiled with a charming look in her eyes.
"The pursuit of immortality is a desire in itself. It is a manifestation of a strong heart towards the Tao, and it is not a proof of the desire for immortality.
Furthermore, if we monks can restrain our desires and realize a world where everyone has no fight, how can the world of immortality be like this, where the weak can prey on the strong?
Disciple, you must listen to your teacher's advice. You have been deceived by those sanctimonious old guys. Even though they usually have an air of immortality or two, they seem to be indifferent to the world, but in fact they have enough food and clothing. Neither the resources nor the resources used for cultivation are stained with the blood and tears of the people below! "
Shui Ni's words made Lu Zhong unable to refute.
In this resource-scarce world of immortality, it can be said that the law of the jungle is doomed.
Even he himself is not like this?
…
Half a month later.
Dual cultivation is not easy.
Especially for a Nascent Soul female cultivator like Shui Ni, it would be even more difficult.
But what she said about helping her practice was not a lie.
The effect of dual cultivation in improving cultivation is much better than taking pills, and it has no side effects. If it is Nascent Soul Girl cultivating Yin Yuan that is absorbed, the effect will be even more remarkable.
Lu Zhong took advantage of this to make great progress in cultivation, and at least he could save five years of hard work.
At the same time, after using up all the blood energy pills on his body, the Barbarian Swallowing Heaven Technique successfully broke through the nineteenth acupoint, and he was not far away from the next breakthrough.
At this moment in the palace, Shui Ni looked worried.
The cause of the change in the barbarian rear has been found out, and the situation is not as serious as usual.
Dry tide!
This is what the barbarians say.
It got its name because wherever the disaster passed, all life withered.
According to the information she received, this disaster was caused by evil spirits. No one knew where they came from. The massive evil spirits gathered together to form a dry tide disaster.
It has now spread to the extreme southern Badlands. Once it successfully crosses the Poisonous Miasma River, it will reach the Badlands that are considered the ancestral land of the barbarians.
As for the evil miasma land, it is only separated from the Southern Barbarian Immortal Realm by a plain of miasma.
Once the dry tide reaches Nanman, it will be another huge disaster.
In this troubled autumn, the Tiandao Sect in the north is also encountering trouble. The beast tide is getting worse and worse, and the second human-monster war will begin again soon.
What a headache!
Later, Shui Ni held an imperial meeting in the palace.
As her only apprentice, Lu Zhong also participated in the meeting.
After understanding the nature of the dry tide, the faces of the monks present all changed drastically. No one expected that the legendary evil spirit would appear again and directly cause disaster.
Lu Zhong, who bowed his head in Shui Ni, looked at this scene expressionlessly, observing the different expressions of everyone, but couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could this be a repeat of what happened in the Western Region?
It is also a sudden disaster.
It's hard not to think of that person.
Yun Yao also said that the purpose of exterminating the entire Western Territory was most likely to use the "power of the Nai River" to achieve his goal of ascending to the upper world by leveraging the power of this legendary river of ascension.
Lu Zhong actually understands this person's thoughts.
After all, no monks have ascended in this world for a long time, and it is unknown how many thousands of years ago, ascending to the upper world has become a legend.
Afterwards, even the transformed gods gradually disappeared from the world.
So far, the only place in this world where gods can exist is the Middle Earth.
"Are you willing to commit heinous crimes in order to ascend?" Lu Zhongmo thought.
He did not tell Shui Ni about this guess.
After all, when you reach the state of becoming a god, just mentioning your name can trigger a reaction in the other person's heart.
Lu Zhong has the power of Shifting Stars and Changing Fighting to ensure that he will not be discovered by that person, but he is not sure whether the jade pendant on Shui Ni's body can prevent the derivation of the secret of the Supreme Master of Transformation.
If he couldn't stop it, he couldn't bear the consequences.
While Lu Zhong was thinking wildly, a Zhenling Sect Ji Zhu quickly walked into the palace and reported: "Forefather, the barbarians have sent envoys to ask for an audience!"
"Oh?" Shui Ni was originally watching the quarrel among the Danjie people below, but now she couldn't help but become interested.
"Let them in."
"Yes!" The foundation builder bowed his hands and exited the hall.
After a while, a burst of footsteps of varying severity came.
Led by Zhang Xugao Human, who had the head of a tiger, followed by Human Xiongman and other barbarian envoys, they were all dressed in the clothes of immortal cultivators, and one or two of them looked pretty, especially the foxman on crutches. The messenger actually has the demeanor of a worldly expert.
These barbarians are all powerful, equivalent to Jindan Zhenren who are immortal cultivators.
"Xiao Feng, envoy of the Qinghu Department, pays homage to True Lord Huiyue!" Humandu said in a buzzing voice, and immediately performed a head-offering ceremony in accordance with the etiquette of immortal cultivators.
The barbarians behind him all bowed respectfully.
Jin Dan in the palace looked at the barbarian envoys with cold eyes, but they were thinking in their hearts that if they could make the previously unruly barbarians bow their heads, they were probably here just because of the dry tide.
Lu Zhong had the same idea as them and began to guess the barbarians' intentions.
Negotiate peace?
still……
Shui Ni glanced at the envoys and said in a calm tone: "Tell me, why do you want to see me?"
"Your Excellency, True Lord Huiyue, Xiaofeng came here on the orders of the Great Witch to beg for a place to rest and recuperate." Humanduji didn't mince words and directly stated his purpose.
"In return, all the tribes in Tiannan are willing to take the True Lord as their leader and offer them ways to survive under the spreading dry tide."
"Begging for me to be your leader?" Shui Ni was slightly shocked.
This style of speaking is not like the style of barbarians.
In her impression, the barbarians really had their heads cut off and their blood shed, but their dignity could not be lost.
Now all the tribes in Tiannan are begging for mercy and begging for life?
Absolutely ridiculous!
Turning his eyes, Shui Ni thought of a possibility, and his face gradually became serious. If the barbarian tribes really came with sincerity, it could mean many things behind it.
It can make the barbarians change their normal behavior and be willing to serve as the leader of the Immortal Xiu Yuanying.
That pretty much confirms one thing.
The barbarians are facing an imminent crisis of genocide!
Many people in the hall also thought of this.
Everyone looked horrified.
"What a big trouble..." Lu Zhong thought expressionlessly.
If his prediction was correct, the two great witches of the barbarian tribe should have died in the attempt to prevent the spread of the dry tide. The death of two great witches whose strength was equal to that of Nascent Soul showed that the disaster of the dry tide was even greater than everyone expected. , the possibility of Nanman repeating the scene in the Western Region is not small.
And when the dry tide spreads to the southern barbarians and returns to the ancient era when evil spirits were everywhere, all living beings will struggle to survive. The demonic cultivators and other heretical inheritances that originated from evil spirits may resurrect.
By that time, it will really be a chaotic dance of demons!
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became heavy.
"What is the method of continuation?" Shui Ni asked.
"Zhenjun, please look at this thing!" Sao Feng gave Xiong Man behind him a look, and the latter immediately understood and took out a red double-tailed spiral crystal from his body, about the size of a baby's arm.
Xiong Man held it in his thick bear paws and raised it high.
"This is a double-tailed spiral crystal. It was obtained by the great witch by killing evil things in the fog. It can be used as the core to build a double-tailed spiral enchantment. In the enchantment, there is no fear of the danger of dry tide."
But he didn't notice at all. When Lu Zhong saw the double-tailed spiral crystal, his eyes were filled with surprise, and his heart was stirred up.
Double-tailed spiral crystal, he had picked this up in the Western Region!
None of the people in the hall or the barbarians noticed the change in Lu Zhong's expression at this moment. Only Shui Ni, who had been paying attention to Lu Zhong, noticed this abnormality in him.
After the master and apprentice communicated through voice messages, her expression became strange.
On the other side, in order to enhance his persuasiveness, Sao Feng took out the photo stone from his body, his expression inexplicably became solemn before being inspired, and he released a scene.
The camera is located high in the sky, and a colorful river appears in the picture.
Lu Zhong knew that this was the famous "Poisonous Miasma River". It flowed out of the bad land in the extreme south. Even the Nascent Soul Lord could not bear the water of the river. It flowed through countless miles, and it was said that it was finally submerged into the abyss of poison.
At this moment, in the picture, you can see the white fog coming from the distance, covering the sky and the sun.
The thick fog was like an advancing wall, spreading slowly and continuously.
Wherever the white mist passed, everything became dim.
Even the poisonous miasma river can't stop it at all!
"This is the dry tide..." Lu Zhong muttered silently.
Then the camera turned and two figures suspended in mid-air entered the frame.
Sao Feng and all the barbarians knelt down.
It's like an audience.
The two figures had the heads of a tiger and a deer respectively. They were also wearing the clothes of immortal cultivators, but they were extremely large, at least more than ten feet tall.
"Tiger and deer, the two great wizards of the barbarians?" Lu Zhong didn't look at these barbarians, and focused all his attention on the projection screen. He saw the two great wizards at the head of the tiger and the deer, both of whom were actuating a double-tailed spiral crystal. .
It seems that he wants to generate a barbaric barrier.
The development of barbarian technology is not as good as that of immortal cultivators. Even if they are copied, they can only reproduce the barbarian magic circle. The barbarian magic circle is not as changeable as the prohibition, so the barbarian magic circle is not as good as the prohibition magic circle.
However, judging from the effect, the barrier made of double-tailed spiral crystals can indeed block the white mist.
Outside the barrier is a world filled with white mist, while inside the barrier everything is as usual.
Lu Zhong guessed that this was the method of continuation mentioned by Xiao Feng.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
As the mist surged in the picture, the two great witches who were not in the barrier suddenly rushed forward, but not long after, Jiu stood strangely in place, and then the huge figure, which was more than ten feet tall, quickly shrank.
Within a quarter of an hour, the two great witches, Hu and Lu, turned into mummies.
At the same time, the camera zooms out further and further.
"Did he be attacked by evil spirits?" Lu Zhong guessed.
The great witch didn't have the help of spiritual eyes, so it was normal for him to be attacked and defeated by evil spirits. However, he was able to kill two great witches so quickly. It was obvious that the evil spirits in the mist were as powerful as Nascent Soul at least.
If an evil spirit of this strength were allowed to enter the Southern Barbarians, I really don’t know how many creatures would survive?
On the other side, Shui Ni spoke.
"This is a serious matter, let me think about it. Come, take the envoys to the side hall to rest, and the others will leave for now.
Finally, she sent a message to Lu Zhong: "Good disciple, you stay."
After everyone left, the palace door closed quietly.
Then the forbidden light curtain lit up.
Shui Ni closed her eyes again and released her consciousness, as if she was exploring the palace. After a while, she opened her eyes and said, "Okay, no one has left any hands or feet in the palace. Please take out the double-tailed spiral crystal."
Lu Zhong nodded and took out something from the storage ring.
It is also a double-tailed spiral crystal.
But compared to the one Sao Feng took out, his double-tailed spiral crystal was much larger, as thick as a normal person's thigh, and about ten feet tall.
"Disciple, please step aside first, and later I will try the barbarian method as my master." Shui Ni said.
When Lu Zhong stepped aside, she began to mutter words and typed several spells in succession. During the process, the double-tailed spiral crystal showed no feedback and did not react until it entered the magic power.
Along with a soft white light, a small barrier was supported.
"That's right, it's a double-tailed spiral barrier!"
Shui Ni's eyes lit up.
This small enchantment looks like the double-tailed spiral enchantment activated by the Hulu Great Witch. It even looks stronger. It should be able to cover a larger area, or have a stronger ability to exorcise evil.
With it, she already had a plan in mind on how to deal with the barbarians.
At this time, Lu Zhong told Shui Ni everything about the origin of the Double-tailed Spiral Crystal, except for the parts that needed to be concealed, which made her frown.
"Cheating Kangxi"
"Is there such a thing? The Western Region actually... Well, it seems that we have to find some way to use this thing!"
Immediately, Shui Ni smiled.
"I still have to thank you, disciple Lu Zhong. If it weren't for you, I would probably be the only teacher..."
Although she didn't say anything, Lu Zhong knew what it was.
It's nothing more than running away.
It is indeed too embarrassing for the majestic Yuanying True Lord to leave his sect's territory and run away.
"These are all the double-tailed spiral crystals." Lu Zhong took out the remaining five double-tailed spiral crystals. Except for keeping one for emergencies, the remaining four were handed over to Shui Ni.
He believed that Shui Ni would be able to use them properly.
As for the origin, it's easy to find an excuse, just say it was obtained by killing evil spirits in the fog.
…
Lu Zhong returned to Chaosheng Cave.
"Husband, what's wrong with you? You're so worried?" Seeing his strange expression, Yu Feng'er couldn't help but sit over worriedly and asked with a concerned look on her face.
"Oh, something big is going to happen again!" Lu Zhong sighed.
Then, he told about the dry tide.
"Husband, are you sure you are right?" Yu Feng'er couldn't believe it for a moment.
Lu Zhong nodded helplessly, indicating that he was right.
If his prediction was correct, in the future the Southern Barbarians would undergo drastic changes like a cleansing, which would lead to a sharp decrease in various resources and trigger sharp conflicts.
How many years have you been quiet now?
"I just want to live a peaceful life, be peaceful and practice my duty, why is it so difficult?" Lu Zhong said.
