Chapter 393: Fire breaks out from the bottom of the abyss
Although Lanlin Prefecture is located in a remote location, its natural landscape is quite unique.
Stone pillar-shaped peaks hang in the air, like thousands of needles.
The deep valley below the floating mountain is a terrifying restricted area made entirely of black ash. Even though he is flying thousands of feet high in the sky at this moment, Li Fan can still feel the heart-stopping aura coming from below from time to time.
Huangfusong stood on the ferry boat and looked at the scenery below. His expression changed slightly: "It's really a remote place."
"Compared with this ghost place, the Ten Thousand Miles of Flame Beach we saw earlier is not too sinister."
When Li Fan heard this, he also looked towards the bottom of the deep valley.
In the sea of pitch-black ash, unextinguished dark flames can still be seen here and there.
From time to time, a gust of breeze blew by, picking up a trace of darkness in the sea of ashes, flying and rising, and hit the dust boat where Li Fan was.
The ashes, which were as light as nothing, caused violent shaking at the moment they collided with the dust boat's protective shield.
As if it had received a huge impact, a small hole appeared in the red light layer.
Then it stirred up ripples one after another, spreading in all directions.
Even though he only had a little bit of mind controlling his body, Li Fan was also shocked by the scene in front of him.
I couldn’t help but ask: “What is this black ashes?!”
Huangfusong first controlled the dust boat to fly upwards, avoiding the ashes rising from the deep valley, and then explained: "This is the residue after the burning of [Ember Silence Flowing Fire]. All the breath of life has disappeared, and only
The power of annihilation remains but never dissipates."
"It's very evil, so it's better to avoid it as much as possible."
Before he finished speaking, Duchen Zhou accelerated his speed and galloped towards the central area of Lanlin Prefecture.
Looking at the seemingly endless world of darkness and silence below, Huangfusong said with some emotion: "Fortunately, we used tens of thousands of peaks as an array to control the [Ember Silence Flowing Fire] in Lanlin Prefecture. Otherwise, the surrounding areas would not be in the same situation."
One end."
"[Ember Silence Flowing Fire]?" The smell of black ashes made the dying Li Fan feel more and more uncomfortable. He frowned and thought to himself.
He seemed to have seen this name somewhere.
The Taoist stone in the sea of consciousness flickered with light, and after a moment, the fragments of words that had been read appeared in an instant.
"Cangwuzhou has four rivers and twenty-eight mountains.
In a certain year and a certain month, it disappeared without a trace overnight, leaving only an abyss with no bottom.
The wonders of the earth and the Cangwu landscape can be seen from this."
……
"Nine years after the mountains and rivers of Cangwu Prefecture disappeared, black water-like flames emerged from the bottom of the abyss."
"The fierce flames were raging and could not be extinguished. People at the time called it [Silent Embers and Flowing Fire]."
Li Fan then asked: "Is it the black fire that ran out of the Cangwu Abyss?"
Huangfusong was startled for a moment, then narrowed his eyes, as if he was recalling something.
After a long time, he nodded: "That's right. The Ember Silence Flowing Fire has been spreading around since it appeared in Cangwu Abyss."
"Several states in a row were affected. It wasn't until Lanlin Prefecture that it was brought under control."
Li Fan was suddenly a little shocked.
Cangwu Prefecture is in the southwest corner of Xuanhuang Realm, while Lanlin Prefecture is almost due south.
The scope of the raging Ember Fire is probably a bit large.
"Don't worry, little friend, since that time, this Jingsi Liuhuo has never appeared again."
"The exact cause of this world-destroying disaster is still an unsolved mystery."
"At first, the alliance thought it was the work of the Wu Laohui. However, after an on-site inspection, they denied it."
"That is the real power of heaven and earth, and I'm afraid it is beyond the reach of monks."
Huangfusong shared his knowledge with Li Fan while joking.
In less than half a day, we reached our destination.
"Before accepting the Spirit Locking Array, you and I first go to visit the person in charge of Lanlin Prefecture who lives here."
"This senior was originally a monk from our Tianyu Province. He took good care of me in the past. Now that he is here, he cannot lose his courtesy."
Pointing to a needle-like mountain piercing the sky in front of him, Huangfusong said to Li Fan.
As soon as Li Fan thought about it, he already guessed who the senior Huangfu Song was talking about.
"You mean, the former commander of the Tianyu Prefecture Garrison, Senior Guan Xingxiu?"
Huangfusong smiled and nodded, then put away the dust boat and led everyone to fly to a small courtyard at the top of the mountain.
"We're all acquaintances, and yet you're so outspoken? Come in, I won't greet you personally!"
From a distance, a voice reached everyone's ears.
"That way, I'll thank you, senior!" Huangfusong responded with a smile on his face.
Signing to the other monks to wait at the door, the fat man walked into the courtyard with only Li Fan.
The courtyard is quite simple, with only one independent green pine.
Panasonic, a middle-aged monk is lying leisurely on a bench, shaking slightly.
Holding a Cattail Fan, fan it twice from time to time.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, but my senior style is still the same!" Huangfusong bowed and saluted.
Li Fan also said: "I have met Senior Guan!"
"Your name is Li Fan, right? I've heard about you." Guan Xingxiu looked at Li Fan with a playful look on his face. "Your hard work is much better than mine."
Li Fan's heart skipped a beat and he replied in a muffled voice: "Haha, senior, you are so complimentary."
Huangfusong also answered at this time: "Although little friend Li Fan is working hard, he is still a step behind compared to you, my senior. Who knows the monks of Tianyu Province..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Guan Xingxiu.
"Boy, a good man doesn't talk about his courage in the past. Now that I'm in such a state of decline, you come here to tell me about my deeds. What's your intention?" Guan Xingxiu's eyes wandered over Huangfusong's body, with a look of displeasure on his face.
Huangfusong didn't expect that he would slap the horse's leg by flattering him, so he said sarcastically: "Senior, you know me."
"If you lend me some courage, I won't dare to go against you."
Guan Xingxiu snorted coldly, but his expression returned to normal.
He said with waning interest: "You are really boring, kid."
"Okay, I haven't seen my old friend here for a long time. It's good that you can come to visit me."
"I already know what you mean, feel free to do it boldly."
"As long as I'm here, Lanlin Prefecture can't turn over this three-acre land."
After saying that, Guan Xingxiu gently slapped the cattail leaf fan in his hand, and a small golden sword suddenly appeared and flew into Huangfusong's hand.
"It just so happens that I haven't appeared in front of everyone for a long time. I want to see if there is really someone who wants to test whether my sword is sharp."
Huangfusong was overjoyed and said quickly: "Thank you, senior!"
"Right..." Putting away the golden flying sword, Huangfusong still wanted to say something else.
But he was stopped by Guan Xingxiu.
"I have seriously considered Fellow Daoist Ji's opinion. However, I am only a cultivator of spiritual transformation now, so I won't be able to help you much if I go there."
"In addition, the former leader has passed away, and the post of commander-in-chief has been settled."
"I have no intention of fighting anymore."
"Go ahead!"
After saying that, Guan Xingxiu flapped his cattail leaf fan.
After a gust of wind, Li Fan and Huangfusong were sent out of the small courtyard.
