Chapter 270
Unfortunately, Ni Yangzhou failed to catch up in time. When he went to the yard in front of the medicine mountain to look for Hongying, the medicine boy passing by told him that she was watering the plants when she suddenly seemed to have received some news and left in a hurry.
Leaving? Where to go? What's the news?
Ni Yangzhou stood in the vibrant medicinal garden for a while, took out Yuanjia's communication card and said:
"Things have changed. I'm going to the North first, and I'll come back to talk to you about the past."
After finishing his instructions, Ni Yangzhou flew away on his sword without caring whether the other party heard him or not.
Cheng Wang, who had just finished making fish meatballs for his master, was sitting on a narrow stool and drinking soup with his head down. A little sunlight fell through the shabby house, making the broth, which did not have much meatballs, look shiny. He raised his little head to look at the master's communication card, which seemed to flash a few times, and quickly put down the bowl, grabbed the communication card, and ran to the confinement room.
-------------------------------------
The North is bitterly cold, with snow falling all year round and endless dark clouds. Inside the green pendant given by the master is a travel note whose author's name is unknown, which records some matters related to the North.
Legend has it that the heavens are kind and benevolent. Although it has been circulating for thousands of years since Pangu created the world, the spiritual energy that permeates the heaven and earth has mostly supplemented the fortune of the emperor and the earth, and also provided one or two points for living beings to glimpse the door to the Tao. The Tao is not fair but it is fair, and the fortune is not good but it is good. There are places with abundant spiritual energy, such as Minghong, Wuxiang, and Jialan, and there are also places with dryness. The best among them, a place where there is no spiritual energy at all, is the North.
The Northern Territory is vast and sparsely populated, it can be said to be a barren land. Few people have been there for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that the predecessors of the Minghong Sect were afraid of hurting innocent people when they ascended to heaven hundreds of years ago and came here to wait for the thunder tribulation, I'm afraid that very few people know about the Northern Territory.
It is not a good idea to come here to wait for the thunder tribulation. Cultivating immortals is against the will of heaven. The thunder tribulation is both a test and a screening and elimination. After more than a dozen thunder strikes, those with rich assets can take elixirs and meditate to regain their youth. There are often casual cultivators who come to Minghong Sect to get the spiritual energy when they are about to be promoted, and the sect will also ask them to help protect the law. But the great man at that time calculated that his thunder tribulation was coming fiercely, and he was afraid of harming innocent people, and he was also worried that he could not control it, so he came to this area and relied on himself and the magic weapons he had collected over the years to resist.
No one knew whether the great man succeeded or not. There was only a few words in the travel notes, saying that it took 49 days to chop the snow mountain into a sea of fire, which lasted for more than ten years before being extinguished.
Because of its remoteness, some scoundrels or refugees would hide there. This was also the reason why Yan Congzhi was unwilling to bring his apprentice with him.
Ni Yangzhou did not dare to rest along the way, and after traveling for more than ten days, he finally reached the edge of the northern border.
But I can't get in.
There was no other color except pure white between the vast heaven and earth, and Ni Yangzhou's progress was blocked by the barrier.
He wandered around the edge of the barrier for dozens of days, but there was no chance for him to sneak in.
Ni Yangzhou tried to contact other people, but all the news fell on deaf ears. Only Yuan Jia gave him an idea in the confinement room.
One can defeat ten skills with one force. Once your level is high enough, you should be able to find a way to sneak in.
Although he was not completely sure, but based on the news he had learned before and Hongying's performance, Ni Yangzhou guessed that everyone in the sect and his master were in the country, but were hindered by something and neither the news nor the people could come out.
The young man didn't want to leave, so he found a place outside the barrier and settled down.
Hongying has already passed the Nascent Soul stage. If she can get in, then as long as I can also cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, I should be able to find the way.
Ni Yangzhou worked hard day and night, not daring to slack off at all. After more than a year, he finally reached the threshold of the late Golden Core stage. However, taking the next step seemed as difficult as ascending to heaven. No matter how much he practiced, there was no improvement, and he was stuck at the last stage before the Nascent Soul stage.
He was meditating that night, and there was a gust of north wind in his ears. He suddenly felt a chill running through his body. Ni Yangzhou looked up and saw what seemed to be fireflies flickering in the sky. They were coming from the south in a mighty force, heading straight for the barrier.
Ni Yangzhou stood up, used his Qi to cast his sword, flew into the air, saluted respectfully towards the black fog, and said:
"Your Excellency from the Underworld has come here for business. I am Huaiyu, a disciple of Master Guanjiao of the Minghong Sect. I would like to greet you, Your Excellency."
He was humble, and being a disciple of an old acquaintance, the black fog gradually dissipated, and the coolness expanded into ripples like water waves. This was the real yin energy from the underworld that he had felt from the fake Black and White Impermanence in the past. After paying his respects, Ni Yangzhou looked up and saw two figures, one black and one white, emerging from the crowd. Both of them had pale faces, but were serious and solemn, with one part yin energy and nine parts evil spirits on their bodies. Tall hats were placed on both sides, with the eight big characters "Make Money at First Sight" and "Peace in the World" inscribed on them.
Now there are indeed two real masters.
Bai Wuchang swung the chain and replied, "Huaiyu... I have heard of him. It seems that he was the one who caught the two who impersonated him."
Hei Wuchang's expression remained unchanged and he nodded slightly.
Bai Wuchang turned around, his face pale and stiff, as if covered with powder. "Do you have something to ask for? Why are you blocking my way here?"
Upon hearing this, Ni Yangzhou quickly took advantage of the situation and said, "To be honest with you, Your Excellency, my master, Master Guanjiao, my uncle, Master Guanmiao, and several other members of the sect have all entered the barrier here. There has been no news for more than a year. I am really worried and would like to enter the barrier with them, hoping to do my best to help."
Bai Wuchang nodded after hearing this. He always liked people with loyalty and righteousness. He swung the soul-locking chain in his hand and said loudly:
"I don't know if it's right. But, good boy, it's the right thing to do if you care about your fellow disciples. Looking at your realm..."
Bai Wuchang sighed, "Just barely qualified. We are here for this purpose. In this case, one more person is a helper. We will pick some simple things for you. Come with us——"
As soon as he finished speaking, the iron chain accurately rolled back the young man. Before Ni Yangzhou had time to think deeply about the deeper meaning of Bai Wuchang's words, he saw the black fog gathered together densely in the howling wind, like a steel cone. As the Black and White Wuchang put their strength into their hands and hit each other, a gap appeared in the translucent barrier. Ni Yangzhou was blown by the hurricane and couldn't open his eyes. He only felt that the Black and White Wuchang each grabbed one of his arms and moved forward against the swift snowflakes.
The gap was as bright as day, but there was nothing on the inside as far as the eye could see. At the last second before entering the barrier, cold air rushed into the young man's nostrils, and he choked and coughed, as if he wanted to spit out his heart and lungs.
In a daze, I heard the angry voice of Black and White Impermanence:
"Oh no! Why are there so many obstacles like this everywhere? This kid is doomed!"
"There are so many passages! Save his life first, and you lead the way!"
"No way! I can't solve a puzzle and take care of a kid at the same time! Which puzzle is his master solving?"
"Which one? Oh—I saw it."
"Throw it to his master. Come on, take aim!"
"Three, two, one!
go you! "
