Cao An did not enter the city, but marched along the edge of Gaocheng in Peixian County for a while.
Crossing a big city is naturally the fastest way, but it is also the most annoying way for Cao An. He has been a little short of money recently and regrets not picking up some 'Jirong's Legacy' at Wangzhuang.
"What a beautiful place. I don't know if there is an owner here."
There is marsh in the southeast of Peixian County, which stretches for thousands of miles. The water is cold in nature, so it is an inhospitable place.
"Xiaohanze!"
Gouzi felt a little shocked when he looked at the scene in front of him. As he said earlier, the farther north the entire dynasty goes, the flatter the terrain becomes. This is especially true in Xiaohanze. At a glance, there is almost no obstruction in the entire Xiaohanze.
The hilly thing that cuts off the line of sight shows a slightly upward arc.
The lush reeds are layered on top of each other, and the gray-white tassels are connected into a sea. They move with the wind. From a distance, they look like waves, and the water spots dotted among them are like the sky.
The broken mirror fell to the ground, glowing with a cold light.
The beauty is beautiful, but the danger within it is no less than that of a mountain range infested with monsters.
This is true even for warriors. In addition to the evil miasma, there are also man-eating swamps that cannot be seen from the surface, as well as monsters hidden in the waters.
Cao An leaned down and inserted his fingers into the water, feeling a chill coming from his fingertips.
"The temperature is indeed much lower than normal waters. No wonder it is called a place where no food can be eaten. I just don't know where this coldness comes from."
"But the cold does not spread. As long as it does not touch the water source, the little demon does not feel cold when standing here." The old dog shook the hair on his body. His hair was yellow and white, just like the reeds.
Same.
Cao An's eyes lit up and he nodded, "Yes, non-spreading is the characteristic of Xiaohanze's coldness. It looks like it is not a simple temperature, but more like a flow of breath, or in other words, it is related to the true energy.
similar."
Thinking of this, Cao An thought of his [Mingyu Gong]. Mingyu Gong obtained the jade energy and broke through to the eighth level in one fell swoop, but there was still something missing from the ninth level. At the moment, the old dog's words seemed to be...
As soon as he woke up, a bold idea popped up in his mind.
Yes, coldness!
My own Ming Yu Gong lacks an attribute. Jade Qi actually does not have this attribute, but the records in the depths of Ming Yu Gong clearly contain a terrifying chill.
"No wonder I ended up here on a whim. God-given opportunity, let's go, Gouzi, into Xiaohanze."
"Ah? Master, do you want to go in?"
"Yes, the coldness at the edge is not enough to support Mingyu Gong's breakthrough. When we get here, the coldness has dissipated too much. Let's go inside and have a look."
"Hey, young man, that's Xiaohanze, don't come in." Cao An was about to leave when he stepped in and heard a voice coming from behind.
Turning around, I saw an old man carrying firewood on his shoulders walking from behind. It looked like he had just come out of the woods on the edge and was heading home.
Seeing that Cao An was standing there with no intention of retreating, the old man couldn't help but speed up a little. He came closer, threw down the firewood, and said reproachfully: "You young men, you dare to go anywhere, there is Xiaohanze over there.
There are mud pits everywhere that eat people. Even if you look at them, you will see that there is nothing there, but you have no idea how deep the mud is underneath."
"As soon as you step down, your whole body will fall in. It's hard for gods to save you."
It seemed that he felt that such words were not convincing enough, "My son was swallowed by the mud pit."
Cao An looked solemn and said, "Thank you, father-in-law, for reminding me."
The old man shook his head and said, "Don't thank me. Just don't go in. You can tell by your clothes that you must have practiced. But there are also many practiced people who have died in it over the years, and they are all practitioners like you."
Those who have passed it are the least likely to listen to advice."
Xiaohanze Cao An must enter. It is impossible not to enter just because of the old man's words. But now, looking at his posture, it may be difficult for him to enter in front of him.
"If I don't go in, I'll just look around."
"It's almost dark. Is there anything good to see? I'd like to advise you. It's not easy for parents to raise a big baby. Go back."
"Okay, take your advice, I'll listen to you."
With that said, Cao An took back his steps and walked back a few steps, "Old man, do you live nearby?"
"It's not far off. I see a lot of people like you every year. Some people listen to the advice, but most of them don't. They say that they are some kind of swordsman or swordsman in the world. When they meet two arrogant people, they still...
Will take action."
"Then you still advise me?"
The old man smiled, showing a set of yellow teeth, two of which were missing, and the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together. "My child died in it. One night more than ten years ago, he gave me a dream, saying that he was here.
I couldn't breathe down there, so I went to the temple to find a master, and the master told me to persuade a hundred people to accumulate merit for my son, so that he could be reincarnated down below and no longer have to suffer."
"Then how much did you persuade me?"
"I can't remember, and it's not easy to remember. Some people listened to you after you persuaded them. As soon as you left, they turned around and walked in. How do you calculate it? Did you persuade them or not? You have done countless things. Over the years, eight
I'm afraid there are a dozen or so, but if I live a few more years, I can persuade a hundred of them while I'm alive, and I'll be satisfied."
Cao An touched his nose angrily, that's what he was thinking just now.
"Then old man, you are doing a great good deed."
The old man waved his hand, "Those who are good or bad, who got in there, are not other people's babies. They may have babies of their own. If you think about it, you can persuade a few."
He looked at Cao An carefully and said after a long time: "If my baby hadn't died, my grandson would be about the same age as you. Do you have a place to live? It's getting dark, so why not go home and rest first."
"
"No, father-in-law, the world is dangerous. From now on, just remind people from the sidelines. Don't bring people to your home casually. It's dangerous!"
The old man glanced at Cao An with disgust, "Do you think I'm stupid, old man? I asked you because I didn't think you were a bad guy. Forget it if you don't go. I'm leaving. Don't come in."
"Let's go together, we might be able to stop by for a while."
"Hey, you are such a majestic big dog. In all my years of living, old man, I have never seen such a majestic dog."
The dog's steps were a little wandering.
"fine."
The two separated at the intersection, and Cao An did not look back, but went straight to the path, which was a path back to the county seat of Pei County.
"Master, are we really going to leave like this? That old man didn't tell the truth."
"I know, Jia Feng, when he went back, he was obviously a master of the Four Sceneries, but he still pretended to be an ordinary person. I have to say that this breathing method is really crude. Xiao Hanze was beaten to death by so many people. He
Why are you preventing me from going in? Is there some treasure inside?"
Cao An frowned.
The breeze wrapped around the master and the servant, and they went back along the way they came. This almost magical method, even in the ordinary realm of heaven and human beings, would not show anything. It was better than the old man's lame disguise.
It's not just one or two levels of strength.
…
Two people floated out of the reed swamp, an old woman and a young man. The two landed near where Cao An was standing before. The old man stopped carrying firewood. He carried a pole and used the light body technique. After a few ups and downs, he was in the same position as before.
The two of them met.
"How is it? Has anyone left?"
"I was a little worried when I left, so I followed him for a while."
The young man held out his paper fan with an evil smile on his face, "From now on, your reputation as the Thousand-Faced Old Man will probably spread far and wide. Not everyone has the ability to coax the famous Cao An around.
