As Hou Zi had expected, less than three days after he reported his success in crossing the border, the Marshal's Mansion sent him an order, instructing him to immediately go to Yin Ling to replenish Quanzhen's strength there.
Yinling is a very special place that cannot be described as a town, because there are not many humans living here, and they are basically scattered in villages; but from a geographical point of view, its area is even larger than most towns. , so it can be regarded as a county and belongs to one of the thirty-nine territories in Dafengyuan.
There are three places in Dafeng, which are the best choices in every aspect, namely Big Mu Hill, Black Swamp, and Yinling. All of them are places where monsters and ghosts are rampant, and human power is weak. Because of the value of these three areas It is limited and the population is not large, so the Jincheng branch of the Quanzhen Sect has no time to purge the monsters here. In other words, it has been purged several times, but the effect is limited, the wildfire cannot be burned out, and the spring breeze blows again...
Yinling is a place as its name suggests. Mostly there are ghosts, followed by some monsters wandering in the fields. Finally, it is a den for groups of human bandits. Of course, bandits generally do not rob local residents, not because they are kind, but The locals are simply too poor; they usually go to surrounding areas to rob, and then return to Yinling as a stronghold.
When working in this place, the environment is dangerous. Secondly, the biggest problem is poverty!
It is actually profitable for monks to slay demons. The hair on the body can be exchanged for money. You will always get something in return if you fight for your life, so you have motivation; but what profit can ghosts have? You can't touch the corpse, you can only pay. If you don't get it, who is willing to fight here? You can't even maintain the most basic resources.
Of course, the Quanzhen Sect will not pin a monk to death in this place forever, which is equivalent to announcing the end of the monk's path. Generally, those who come here, except those who commit crimes and are punished, come here in shifts for three years. One issue.
The only people who can be asked to work shifts here are thorny and ignorant Qinggua Lengzi, like Hou Tzu.
The order said to set off immediately, which meant that he would not be allowed to delay in Jincheng. He had already made preparations. In order not to leave a reason for some people to say something, he took the order and left, which was also a chic way.
In fact, Jiang Nanying and Yu Xinglie had just left yesterday, and Ma Rujun and Zong Qian had not even received the transfer order. When the two of them rushed to the small courtyard of Hou Zi, the door was closed and locked, and there were no figures. not see.
Ma Rujun sighed, "Senior Brother Hou has such a temper!"
Zong Qian, however, was yearning for it, "I will do my own thing and not bow to the powerful, that's good!"
Another figure appeared, and the two were overjoyed when they saw it. It was Wang Mian who came out of seclusion. Six people rushed to the border, and he finished last. However, there was no shame on his face. Instead, he was full of energy and high in fighting spirit.
"What's going on? Where are the senior brothers?"
Ma Rujun said briefly, and Wang Mian laughed loudly, "Senior Brother Hou, you are in the right place! Yin Ling? It's a good place, and you can use ghosts to sharpen your swords! I will apply to go to Yin Ling to be a companion with senior brother. What do you two think? how?"
Ma Rujun looked ashamed. His place had already been decided, and he had put in a lot of connections and connections. He didn't want to go crazy with these lunatics, but Zong Qian remained silent.
"The quota in Yin Ling is full, you can't go!"
Wang Mian stared at him, "Brother Zong, the place where I want to come to you has been decided. Where are you planning to go to enjoy your happiness?"
Zong Qian smiled slightly and said, "It's decided, after a lot of effort, it's the Black Swamp!"
As soon as Wang Mian heard this, he walked away and asked, "You're leaving me only one Bimu Qiu?"
Ma Rujun looked at the two people laughing and scolding unscrupulously, and for the first time he felt that the gap between himself was not in terms of hard power, but in the bold and upward spirit; if such a person could persevere and survive, his future achievements would definitely be higher than his. !
But if friends can do it, can he do it? People are different after all.
The six people, judging from the current choices, have been divided into two directions. If they are further divided...
...Hou Zi left Jincheng with one man, one horse and one sword, and headed westward without lingering on the prosperity of the city behind him. He hoped that when he came back here, he would no longer be a chess piece, but a chess player?
Well, or at least become a more important chess piece.
The first town to the west after leaving Jincheng is Qixia Town, then Dingyuan City, then Miaogao Town, past the ancient stone wall, where is the Yin Ling; on the other side of the Yin Ling is Cangwu Prefecture of Wei State, which belongs to another Taoist branch.
He is a Quanzhen monk, so he can pass through all the steps without any problems, and no one will give him any trouble, so the journey goes extremely smoothly.
I have read and heard about it all the way, and I feel that the people's livelihood in Tianfengyuan is quite good. Although the Quanzhen Sect is strict, the monks are the masters, and their needs are not in line with those of ordinary people. This gives the people ample room for development, whether it is Shan or An. And, it is very rare for practitioners to become flesh-and-blood mortals, which is also a characteristic of this world.
Ten days later, when he entered Miaogao Town, he clearly remembered that the Dugu family was staying here. But he was not interested in looking for them. In his opinion, they were not from the same place.
Miaogao is truly a place with wonderful landscapes and talented people; just one place name demonstrates the status of this big town in Tianfengyuan.
Whether it is humanistic geography, historical legends, or economics, agriculture and commerce, it ranks among the best in the entire Thirty-nine Towns of Tianfengyuan. It is hard to imagine that such a prosperous place is adjacent to the fierce place Yinling.
The key lies on the ancient stone wall!
Historically, there have been several human wars in Yinling, before the Splendid World was revived. Without the power of cultivation, the wars between human armies would have been extremely tragic. Even hundreds of thousands of people would die in a single war. What's new? Of course, after the revival of the Splendid World, there has never been such a war again, because the bellicose emperor could not pass the level of a cultivator.
But the revival of spiritual intelligence is all-round, and humans have benefited, as have other species; such as fish and turtles in the water, herds of beasts in the mountains, creatures in the swamp, and of course those lingering memories from ancient battlefields that have lingered for thousands of years. Resentful spirit.
As soon as the spiritual power is nourished, they become ghosts; the ghosts in this place come from endless sources, and they are endlessly killed and destroyed, making the entire area a mess and full of anger and resentment.
The Quanzhen Sect established its country here, and among the major things it did for the common people, it included a major project that benefited mankind. It surrounded the entire Yin Tomb with stone walls, attached it with formations, and circulated them from time to time to prevent the ghosts from coming out. Do evil!
The terrain of Yinling is that one side is close to the desert and cannot be passed through due to the heat; one side is blocked by Yinshan Mountain, and the other side belongs to the boundary of Wei State. Only here in Miaogao Town, the ancient stone wall array has been artificially built. Over the millennium, Miaogao Town has been created. The prosperity of the city has also made the Yin Mausoleum even more desolate.
Hou Zi is now standing on the ancient stone wall, looking into the distance and paying his respects.
...The ancient road to Yinling is illuminated by the setting sun, and the tombs in the desert are raised to mourn the country's demise. The blood is sprinkled on the west wind and the ape whistles at the moon. The anger swallows the White Emperor's sword and generates frost. The pure soul passes by chasing the black hair, and the strong bones grow and the fragrance of green grass is condensed. Travelers don't know
Sad dance, spring comes, suspected to be jealous of new makeup.
