A young man stood at the door, staring at Jiang Ming warily. He was obviously still somewhat impressed by this decisive customer.
He protected his sister behind him and said in a deep voice: "Fellow Taoist, you will not return anything you sell. Do you want to regret it?"
"My brother won't lie to others..." The little girl poked her little head out from behind and made a milky sound.
"Brother, someone is looking for trouble?" Deep in the yard, a teenage boy rushed out with a long knife in hand.
"Don't be impulsive..." The leading young man quickly stopped him and looked at Jiang Ming: "Fellow Taoist, Xuanguang City is not an ordinary place, please don't mess around!"
Jiang Ming looked at the three extremely vigilant brothers and sisters, and was a little dumbfounded, knowing that he suddenly came to the door, which was a bit unexpected.
However, the ruins were about to be opened, and Jiang Ming didn't bother to make any twists and turns. It was most correct to use the simplest way to get the information he wanted.
Anyway, this is just a temporary identity, you can just throw it away afterward...
Jiang Ming shook his head and smiled: "I just want to ask where the animal skins you sold me were dug out..."
"Is that thing really unusual?" The young man was stunned, but asked subconsciously.
Jiang Ming smiled half-heartedly: "What? Now it's your turn to regret it?"
"Of course not. Even if it is a treasure, it is not something I can get my hands on. If I can earn three hundred spirit stones, I will be satisfied!"
The young man's eyes were calm. Now that he knew that Jiang Ming was not here to cause trouble, he felt relieved and welcomed Jiang Ming into the hospital.
The younger boy was still staring at Jiang Ming with a wary face, while the youngest girl's face was full of curiosity, and it seemed that there were few guests at home.
Jiang Ming looked at the various furniture and sundries in the courtyard that were full of life, as well as the thick moss and bricks in the corners. He knew that this was an old house that was at least dozens or even hundreds of years old. Some of the old objects even had
It has simple patterns of birds and animals, just like a totem.
Jiang Ming couldn't help but asked curiously: "Are you the indigenous people of this place?"
He had heard some news that before the prosperity of Xuanguang City, there seemed to be some special aborigines who had been passed down and passed down...
And it is obviously not normal for a few young people with little cultivation to live in such an old house.
"As long as I can remember, my ancestors have all lived in this city. We are the masters of Xuanguang City. It was only later that those cultivators came and called us aborigines... My name is Liang Ping. Fellow Taoist, just call me by my name...
"
The young man said humbly. He also saw that the person in front of him had extraordinary strength, so he kept his posture very low.
"Actually, I really dug out the animal skin, but the area where I dug out the animal skin is not, strictly speaking, the real inside of the ruins..."
After serving a bowl of coarse tea to Jiang Ming, Liang Pingcai explained with some embarrassment: "Our family can't cultivate immortals. We can only rely on our strength to dig something in the mountains. We can't enter such secret places of ruins at all."
..."
"The place we often go to is a ruin that has been damaged for an unknown period of time. Legend has it that it was indeed a ruin at the time, but later the formation was damaged and the place was exposed. It has been explored countless times by the great monks.
All the treasures that should be dug up have been dug up, leaving only some worthless things. Only us aborigines who cannot cultivate immortality will pick up some garbage..."...
"But in the past two years, I seem to have seen more immortal cultivators there. Many people will pass by that place... but it is clearly not the entrance to the ruins!"
Liang Ping said with some doubts.
Jiang Ming's eyes moved slightly, remembering the information he had learned about the ruins. In addition to the entrance, there were also some seriously damaged areas that could accommodate some cultivators sneaking in, but they could only explore a very small area...
It seems that Liang Ping and the others most likely went to a place like this.
"That place may be very dangerous after the ruins are opened. If it is not necessary, it is better not to go there until the ruins crisis is over..." Jiang Ming warned.
If the ruins revive for the last time, all the ruined places in the past may be involved...
Liang Ping nodded: "I already had a premonition. I haven't gone back since I came back this time."
Later, Liang Ping also told Jiang Ming in detail that the specific location of the place where the animal skins were dug out was still hundreds of miles away from the real entrance to the ruins. Normally, he rarely encountered trouble from cultivators.
A scavenging place frequented by residents...
"Cough, cough..."
At this moment, the little girl suddenly started coughing. Her skin was pale and her face was full of pain. Tears suddenly started to well up in her eyes, but she held back and did not fall.
"Liang An, go get the medicine!" Liang Ping's expression changed drastically, and he rushed forward to pick up the little girl and comfort her.
"Brother, I hurt..." the little girl said with a trembling voice, her two little hands clenched tightly, and her white knuckles looked thin and weak.
It wasn't until the young man Liang An took a porcelain bottle of elixir from the house and gave it to the little girl to take. After another quarter of an hour, the little girl gradually calmed down, with tears on her face, and fell into a deep sleep...
After putting the little girl on the bed to rest, Liang Ping returned to the yard when he had time and sighed: "Sorry..."
Jiang Ming's eyes narrowed slightly: "What kind of disease is this?"
He had just witnessed the whole process and saw that the elixir only relieved the little girl's pain, but had no effect on her illness.
He wanted to use some magic to groom the little girl's body, but Lu Ping declined.
"The disease of jealousy!" Liang Ping sat on the wooden bench with lonely eyes and said slowly: "This is a disease that all of us aborigines cannot escape. All aboriginals cannot cultivate immortality and can only practice martial arts."
"But it's not that our qualifications are incompetent, it's that there is some kind of demonic power in our bloodline that strictly prohibits our bodies from practicing the immortality method. Even those who are better at cultivating immortality will be more seriously corroded by that power. Even if they don't cultivate immortality,
, will also suffer pain that is unimaginable to ordinary people..."
"This is the case for Huanhuan. When she was a child, a foundation-building immortal master in the city once said that Huanhuan's immortal cultivation bones were among the best even in the Cave Heaven Paradise. Unfortunately, once she came into contact with spiritual power, her body became like a
If exposed to the poison, it will be corroded and ulcerated. Even on ordinary days, you will often suffer severe pain that penetrates into the blood and bones..."
Jiang Ming was extremely shocked when he heard this. Is there such a disease in this world?
He has seen the Forbidden Spirit Land, but he did not expect to see the Forbidden Spirit Body again today. Is there any connection?
No wonder Liang Ping didn't let him use magic to comb the little girl's body. A healing spell for ordinary people might be a fatal poison for this little girl...
Jiang Ming sighed softly, what kind of despair and pain it must be for that little girl. She obviously has excellent skills in cultivating immortals, but she will never be able to cultivate immortality, and she still has to endure such terrible pain.
Moreover, according to what Lu Ping said, they, the aboriginals, will never live past the age of sixty, and the better their immortal bones are, the shorter their life span will be.
Based on past experience, it may be difficult for the little girl named Liang Huanhuan to live beyond the age of ten...
…
In the evening, Jiang Ming said goodbye and left, leaving some elixirs for Liang Huanhuan to regulate his body. They were all used for his martial arts practice. They were used on flesh, blood, muscles and bones and did not contain any spiritual energy.
Liang Huanhuan was very polite. After waking up, she thanked Jiang Ming and gave Jiang Ming a handful of roasted peanuts...
Back at his residence, Jiang Ming couldn't help but fall into deep thought while eating roasted peanuts.
"What did that holy land of cultivating immortals do ten thousand years ago...that led to the destruction of Jujiao?"
"Are the aborigines of Xuanguang City related to the Holy Land of Immortality Cultivation?"
"Liang Huanhuan, the body of the forbidden spirit..."
"And the small town of Qingshui City, the martial arts prodigy Lu Xiaoyu, is it also related to this holy land of immortal cultivation..."
"Zhuyue Lake is suspected to be related to the Holy Land of Immortal Cultivation..."
Jiang Ming always has a feeling that many strange things on this land may be related to what happened in the Black Stone Ruins, but now everything is buried in history. Even if you explore the Black Stone Ruins, you don't know how much you can find out.
…
For several days, he has been
Wandering around the city, I bought some ancient books that almost no one read from some bookstores and scripture shops, and learned some things from the few words in them.
It seems that the origins of these aboriginal people are so ancient that an ancient book actually speculates that their existence may be older than that holy land for cultivating immortals...
It seems that some people want to take action to solve this disease of heavenly jealousy. Hundreds of years ago, an aborigine with strong bones and bones appeared in Xuanguang City, which attracted the attention of all the caves and heavens.
A cultivator in the cave took that man as his disciple, used all kinds of extremely costly methods, and consumed countless rare treasures. He wanted to change his fate, prolong the life of the young genius, and let him embark on the path of cultivating immortals.
…
It's a pity that everything failed. No one could solve this terminal disease. The genius died tragically, and the cave that once cultivated immortality also declined and was unable to recover...
Since then, these aborigines of Xuanguang City have taken on a certain strange color and are considered to have an ominous aura and should not be messed with at will.
"Maybe we can find some relevant information in the black stone ruins..."
Jiang Ming said to himself.
The next day, Jiang Ming quietly left Xuanguang City and headed towards the area mentioned by Liang Ping.
Deep in the mountain ranges, ferocious beasts often appear and appear. It is almost an uninhabited area and is extremely dangerous.
However, the scenery here is also refreshing, with towering ancient trees and flowing waterfalls. It is like a primitive wonderland. Except for the occasional explorer, there are almost no human beings.
Jiang Ming was walking in a forest and stepped on some old bricks and tiles with some primitive patterns on them. He gradually approached his destination.
This is a ruin buried in the mountain forest, with various ruins intertwined with vines and trees, and broken statues more than ten meters high in the river valley randomly lying across it, a primitive and mysterious scene...
"It's like walking into Tomb Raider..."
Jiang Ming met some people looking for treasures here. Almost all of them were warriors, and there were no immortal cultivators.
"They should all be the aborigines of Xuanguang City..." Jiang Ming sighed in his heart. Apart from them aboriginals, other immortal cultivators probably wouldn't even bother to explore this place.
"Brother, new here? I've never seen you before..." A mature man with a beard came close to Jiang Ming and greeted him.
"Well, let's try our luck..." Jiang Ming smiled, then walked aside and walked casually in the forest.
He hid all his cultivation here, only revealing the realm of a second-rate warrior, but he blended in perfectly.
Secretly, Jiang Ming called out urgently: "Brother Jian, get up and work quickly. Check here to see if there are any leftover treasures like formation flags..."
"I know, I know... there are so many abandoned treasures, you think those immortal cultivators are just a living wage..."
Heijian was not in a good mood, but he still started to investigate seriously.
Jiang Ming also quietly controlled the formation flag, trying to see if he could sense some of the flag's similar aura...
However, this matter of trying one's luck is obviously similar to finding a needle in a haystack. One person and one sword have been busy for several days, but there is no gain at all...
But before Jiang Ming could find the treasure, the situation suddenly changed.
On the fifth day after he arrived at this ruins, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth suddenly became chaotic, and wisps of light burst out in the night sky, like a meteor shower.
On the distant land, colorful light rises into the sky, and the rich spiritual energy sweeps over with the endless ancient and vast atmosphere...
"The Blackstone Ruins are completely revived!"
The indigenous people here were all staring at the place where the colorful light soared into the sky with shocked and envious faces, but no one dared to participate. It was a feast for the immortal cultivators and had nothing to do with them.
Buzz~
However, wisps of light shone on the ruins here, and there seemed to be some power between heaven and earth. The entire ruins became a little unusual, filled with wisps of mist.
"The formation has revived..." Black Sword shouted: "Hurry up and bring out the formation flag. When the formation is revived, blend with it. The incomplete runes in the formation flag will be repaired automatically, and you will have all the formations in this area under your control."
Among."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Hearing this, Jiang Ming quickly found a hidden place, took out the formation flag, and poured spiritual power into it for sacrifice.
Wow~
Wisps of runes flowed out from the formation flag, and formation patterns seemed to light up simultaneously on the ruins, flickering on and off...
Gradually, Jiang Ming was able to sense the power of the formation buried deep in the ground through the formation flag. Although it was extremely damaged, as the formation that was once a holy land for cultivating immortals, even if it was weakened by 99% of its power, it was still enough to make people...
tremble with fear……
While Jiang Ming was worshiping and refining the formation flag, Xuanguang City was completely boiling. Countless monks shot out from the city, turned into streams of light, and rushed in the direction of the black stone ruins.
As for the entrance to the Black Stone Ruins, countless Qi-training monks had already gathered, waiting for this opportunity. When the ruins opened, they poured in like a flood...
Early next morning.
Jiang Ming finally finished the sacrifice, and the gray animal skin was covered with silver luster, which contained inexplicable power...
"This formation with a radius of dozens of miles is now under my control..."
He raised the formation flag slightly, and a mountaintop in the distance burst open, as if there was an earthquake.
"It's a pity that there are no immortal cultivators coming to this place. It can only be used as a trap, but it is difficult to attract people here..."
Jiang Ming shook his head, but he was not too disappointed. At least the formation flag in his hand had become more lethal than before. This formation flag alone could be considered a big killer.
Then Jiang Ming's eyes flashed. Now that he had built the foundation, the entrance to the ruins could only accommodate Qi-training monks, and he could no longer enter from the entrance to the ruins.
As for other gaps that can accommodate higher realms, he has also collected information about some gaps during this period, and many of them can accommodate foundation building. Maybe it is time to choose one to enter...
boom……
At this moment, a dazzling stream of light suddenly shot towards the void in the distance.
It was a magical vessel that could accommodate hundreds of people. Now, the figures on it were thick and powerful, and the powerful auras gathered together were frightening.
"Most of them are qi-training monks, and some foundation-building masters..." Jiang Ming narrowed his eyes slightly. The purpose of these people should be some gap.
Phew~
The building boat flew over here, but suddenly stopped, and two young Qi-training monks stepped down from it and walked into the ruins.
The two of them looked at the many aborigines here with indifferent eyes.
"Take them all away and explore the way..."
"This is... the expedition team from Lingcan Mountain?" Jiang Ming stared at the logos on the boat and the clothes of the two people and recognized their identities.
In that secret place back then, Lingcan Mountain seemed to be mixed up with Cangming Cave Sky. In Jiang Ming's impression, it was not a good thing...
