She showed an expression of relief, breathed a long sigh of relief, drank another glass of spiritual wine, and then explained:
"Now that the barbarians have a fire in their backyard, 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 about each other, 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 is free from competition, 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. Although they usually have a fairy-like spirit 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 world of immortal cultivation where resources are scarce, 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.
However, what she said about helping with cultivation was not a lie.
The effect of dual cultivation in improving cultivation is much better than taking elixirs, and it has no side effects. If it is a Nascent Soul female cultivating Yin Yuan that is absorbed, the effect will be even more remarkable.
Lu Zhong took advantage of this to make great progress in his cultivation, and it was said that he could save five years of hard work.
At the same time, after using up all the blood energy pills on his body, Barbarian Swallowing Heaven Technique successfully broke through the nineteenth acupoint, and the next breakthrough was not far away.
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 create 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 the barbarians regard as their ancestral homeland.
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, all the monks present at the meeting changed their expressions. No one expected that the legendary evil spirit would appear again and directly cause disaster.
Lu Zhong, who bowed his head in Shui Ni, watched 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 achieve his goal of ascending to the upper world with the help of the "power of the Nai River" and 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.
Later, 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.
"In order to ascend, would you not hesitate to commit a heinous crime?" 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 make the other person feel something.
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 wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.
While Lu Zhong was wandering in his thoughts, a Zhenling Sect Ji Zhu quickly entered 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.
Headed by Zhang Xugao Human, who has the head of a tiger, followed by Human Xiongman and other barbarian envoys. They are all wearing the clothes of immortal cultivators. One or two of them are quite presentable, especially the foxman who is leaning on crutches.
The messenger actually has the demeanor of a worldly master.
These barbarians are all Jindan masters who have great strength and are equivalent to immortal cultivators.
"Xiao Feng, envoy of the Qinghu Department, pays homage to True Lord Huiyue!" Humanduji 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 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 under 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 audience 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 stop 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 drought spreads to the southern barbarians and returns to the ancient era when evil spirits were everywhere, all living beings will struggle to survive. The heretical inheritances such as demon cultivators and others that originated from evil spirits may resurgence.
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 big bear paws and raised it high.
"This is a double-tailed spiral crystal. It was obtained by the great shaman by killing evil things in the fog. Using it as the core, a double-tailed spiral enchantment can be constructed. 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 showed uncontrollable surprise, and his heart stirred up waves.
Double-tailed spiral crystal, he 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 became solemn and solemn inexplicably before being stimulated, and he showed 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 Emperor 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 to cover up the sky and the sun.
The dense 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 in the slightest!
"This is the dry tide..." Lu Zhong thought 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 have the heads of a tiger and a deer respectively, and they are also wearing the clothes of immortal cultivators, but they are extremely large, at least more than ten feet tall.
"Tiger and deer, the two great witches 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 shamans at the head of the tiger and the deer, and they were simultaneously 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. However, 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 further and further away.
"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 the 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 prohibition light curtain lights 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 I will try the barbarian method as my master later," 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 had no feedback and did not respond 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 the same as the double-tailed spiral enchantment triggered by the Great Witch of Hulu. 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.
"Is there such a thing? In the Western Region, actually... Well, it seems that we have to think of some ways 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 have been able to do nothing but..."
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 Nascent Soul Lord to abandon 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 make 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 concern 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, the Southern Barbarians would undergo drastic changes like a cleansing in the future, which would lead to a sharp decrease in various resources and trigger sharp conflicts.
How many years has it been since it lasted?
"I just want to live a peaceful life, be peaceful and practice my duty, why is it so difficult?" Lu Zhong said.
