The bloody sun on the horizon has set in the west. Jining and the others have walked out of the wild forest and are heading towards Youzhou with the Yuejia monks. Jining looked around and the land became more desolate the closer it got to Youzhou.
Looking at the long deserted ancient road, except for a few of them, there was only yellow sand and decaying grass, and a few dusky crows flew through the air.
It was already autumn and winter, and a gust of cold wind blew up a few dead leaves on the ground, making the land look more desolate and giving Jining a different feeling in his heart.
Jining saw that half of the vast Cang Yuan Continent was lost to the Yi Di, which also made Jining feel a little more worried about Kunyun Continent. Although he no longer has many relatives in Kunyun Continent, he still has special feelings for the land where he was born and raised. Jining There was a sigh in my heart!
I couldn't help chanting in my heart: "Thousands of miles of territory, looking back for thousands of years, the long distance of my hometown, the distance of the starry sky! The rustling west wind wrinkles the old heart."
Jining followed the Yue brothers over several mountain peaks, and the ground in front gradually became flat. At this time, the sky also darkened, and a majestic city in the distance appeared in front of them. Yuebishan said to Jining, the majestic city ahead is Youzhou.
In the legendary city of Youzhou, when the Cangyuan Continent was ravaged by the apes, the Cangyuan Continent was enveloped in the aura of death, and the human race was dying. At that time, the four most powerful human families in the Cangyuan Continent were the Xue family, the Duanmu family, the Feng family, and the Hera family. Only the Hera family remained, and the other three families were basically wiped out by the ape clan.
At that time, the lord of Youzhou City, Xue Yue, as the most powerful monk in the Xue clan, had been arranged by the family to guard the land of Youzhou. However, an ape clan army attacked the Xue family. At that time, he did not obey the clan leader's order and led his army. He went back to save the Xue family, but resisted the pressure from his family and stayed in Youzhou.
Due to the lack of support, the Xue family was finally destroyed by the apes, and in Youzhou City, which was defended by Xue Yue, he led his legion to fight against the apes for several years based on the Youzhou terrain formation.
Although it had been besieged by the monster ape army for several years, Xue Yue's stubborn Youzhou still stood firm. In the end, a large number of powerful warriors of the ape tribe were inexplicably wiped out in the Golden Holy City, which also reduced the pressure on Youzhou and was able to escape.
Due to Xue Yue's outstanding performance when the human race was at its most critical, Xue Yue also became one of the spiritual symbols of the human race in Cangyuan Continent. In the end, Hera did not regard Youzhou as a city in his kingdom, but always had Xue Yue's descendants. Managed by human beings, the legion with outstanding military achievements also took Xue Yue’s name as its name. This legion later fought against the monster ape many times and made great achievements in battle, which also made the name of Xue Yue legion resound throughout Cang Yuan. mainland.
Most of the monks of the Xue family perished in the war between the apes. Some of the Xue family members who were lucky enough to survive have been living in Youzhou. Due to Xue Yue's guilt for the family and the hidden diseases left during the war, Youzhou escaped not long ago. He later died of depression, and Youzhou was always controlled by other monks of the Xue family.
The legend of Youzhou City has also led many human races to live here for a long time. It is now one of the largest cities in Cangyuan Continent.
Two monks, Jining and Yuejia, walked into Youzhou City. Jining felt that this city was special. The bumpy walls showed its vicissitudes of life. The tall and heavy walls seemed to still smell the blood of the past.
Perhaps the former glory made this place special, and also allowed Youzhou City to give ordinary mortals and monks in the city a special temperament. Jining felt that the ordinary soldiers here had a special aura. Among the merchants and pedestrians on the bustling streets, Jining discovered a strange imagination. Except for the monks, everyone else had weapons on their bodies. It seemed that martial arts had become a common practice in Youzhou City!
After entering Youzhou City, the Yue monks invited Jining to come to their hall, but Jining declined politely. Instead, he walked alone on the old streets of Youzhou, found an inn and stayed in it.
A month passed. Jining was sitting in the guest room, looking at a map in his hand. There was also a book on the table. He had just bought the map and book on the street. Jining looked at the map. The direction of Death Valley was marked on it, and a strange look appeared on his face.
It turned out that Jining had been searching everywhere in Youzhou City for what he needed in the past month, but found nothing. Finally, he bought some books and maps and studied them. After carefully studying the maps and books, he found that Youzhou City was about a thousand miles away from Death Valley. Jining was a little surprised when he saw that there was a small town called Guling near Death Valley.
There has always been a legend in the small town of Guling. There was a human monk with demon blood who offended the Hera clan, so he hid in the small town of Guling near Death Valley. He controlled the town with his powerful strength. And through some means, it attracted many human desperadoes. In addition to the human desperadoes, there are also some demonic apes who have committed serious crimes among the apes hiding there.
Gradually, a third force that does not belong to the human race and the ape race appeared here. Although the human race and the ape race knew all this, they pretended not to see it.
Perhaps because of its special chaos and balance, this small town in Guling has gradually become a legend in the entire Cangyuan Continent. The chaotic rules there also make it a favorite place for evil cultivators and demons. Therefore, many evil cultivators obtain treasures from other places using shady means. The demon ape-men will also trade some treasures that are difficult for humans to obtain there, because Neither the humans nor the apes can control the town of Guling, making it the safest place to trade on the black market. x
As a result, the small town of Guling gradually became the largest treasure trading place between humans and apes in Cangyuan Continent.
Jining checked one side of his body, and his face became increasingly uglier. The battle in the ancient forest a month ago had made the injuries to the meridians in his body more serious. If he didn't find a medicine to repair the meridians as soon as possible, he might be able to resume foundation building in the future. Even cultivation is difficult to achieve.
Jining sighed, moved his hand, and found three more ancient coins in his hand. These small ancient coins can feel the strong atmosphere of the ancient times, and the light patina seems a bit mysterious. He got these three ancient coins by chance in an antique shop in Youzhou City.
Then he closed his eyes, and gradually there seemed to be a mysterious atmosphere around Jining. Three ancient coins floated in the air, slowly rotating according to mysterious rules.
"The number of Dayan is fifty, and its use is forty with nine. Divide it into two to symbolize two, hang one to symbolize three, dig it into four to symbolize the four o'clock, return to the strangeness of the pole to symbolize the leap, and then leap again at the age of five , so cut it again and then hang it."
The number one, two, three and four is deduced to be six, seven, eighty-nine! Shaoyang is seven, Shaoyin is eight, Old Yang is nine, and Old Yin is six. It changes with the positive pole and the negative pole.
The three ancient coins kept changing. Soon after, Jining opened his eyes, and there was a hint of joy in Jining's eyes. When Jining used ancient coins to deduce, he got the numbers seven, eight, eight, eight, seven, nine, and got the image of Xun Zhen. This is the hexagram of Feng Lei Yi. Xun and Zhen all belong to wood, and Xun is the crotch and buttocks, which is the action of foot. It strengthens the wind and thunder and benefits. A gentleman will do what is good when he sees it. x
The Yi hexagram is the hexagram of the third generation of Xun Palace. The upper part of the sunda shakes the lower part. The sunda is the wind and the shock is the thunder. This hexagram means benefit, and wherever you go, it will be beneficial.
Although the position of this hexagram change has been obtained through deduction, it is in the position of the upper nine, and the upper nine lines are a bad omen, and its symbols are not beneficial to it, or to attack it; do not be persistent in your determination, it is bad luck.
It also made Jining understand that the sign of the Yi hexagram is a sign of good fortune and misfortune. This trip will be a sign that he will encounter the elixir of heaven and earth he needs, but the position of this hexagram is very dangerous. If you don't deal with it well, not only will you not be able to get the elixir you need, but you will be in vain, and you will also be in danger of being attacked by powerful monks during this trip; but when you make up your mind, you must persevere, otherwise there will inevitably be consequences. Danger is coming.
After Jining finished the deduction, he closed his eyes and began to meditate.
A few days later, Jining appeared in a deserted land covered with ice and snow. The cold temperature and the slightest hint of sinister aura made body-training practitioners like Jining feel a little uncomfortable, and it also made Jining feel that the environment here was special.
Soon Jining saw a desolate canyon. Follow the map and pass through this canyon to reach the town of Guling.
When Jining walked into the canyon, he sensed several powerful auras with his spiritual sense, but when this aura swept across Jining, he lost interest. Jining laughed at himself that his current cultivation level could be regarded as a talisman for him. Those high-level evil cultivators looked down on low-level cultivators like him.
Continuing to move towards the canyon, Jining gradually discovered that there was a cave in the canyon. The canyon was less sinister, the temperature was much warmer, and the canyon became a forest of giant trees, which seemed to be full of life.
After passing through a forest of giant trees, Jining saw a narrow place in the canyon. A pass was built with huge rocks. A stone gate below the pass could only allow a few people to pass through. There were several strong monks standing on the pass.
Jining saw the words "I am the only one who respects the holy land outside the law" written on a huge stone under the pass. Seeing a few large characters scrawled on the boulder, Jining was also a little curious about this arrogant monk in Cangyuan Continent, who dared to be so bold in the gap between the ape race and the human race.
Next to a stone gate at the bottom of the pass, a strange-looking monk was sitting. Next to him was a sign with a few words written on it: "Those who enter the stone gate must pay one hundred spiritual stones."
Jining was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the cost of entering Guling Town was so high. But think about it, if this place can protect a person's safety, many monks will be willing to pay this fee.
Jining handed a hundred spiritual stones to the strange-looking monk sitting at the entrance of the pass. The monk glanced at Jining and was a little surprised. He didn't expect that a monk with such a low cultivation level would dare to come to Guling Town to see. The net worth is quite rich.
However, the monk just glanced at Jining and ignored Jining. He guessed that the young monk must have some support before he dared to come here, but whether he had support or not had nothing to do with him.
Then he handed Jining a dark wooden sign that was neither gold nor stone, and then said: "Fighting is not allowed in Guling City" and ignored Jining.
