Lin Ji thought that the first level of the true dragon body had been completed, and the fifth level of the physical body should be quite tough.
But I don't know what trick this damn girl Zhong Xiaoyan used. She pinched the thin flesh on her waist with her two green little fingers, and she was able to pinch him painfully.
Does it mean that when a girl pinches a man, she is born with bonus damage?
Lin Ji couldn't understand.
It wasn't until she returned to the inn in Leize County that Zhong Xiaoyan finally spoke.
"I came out to elope with you, and you actually want to drive me away?"
"Sister, haven't you had enough after playing for so long?" Lin Ji said, spreading his hands.
"Now that I'm back to Xiangcheng alone, what do you think my parents will think of me? When the news gets out, what will the gossip in the city say about me?" Zhong Xiaoyan asked.
Upon hearing this, Lin Ji slapped his forehead.
This was something he didn't think enough about.
Lin Ji could only temporarily suppress the idea of sending Zhong Xiaoyan away.
After returning to the room, Lin Ji sat on the bed and breathed a long sigh of relief.
After several months and traveling across the entire Xiangzhou, he finally found a solution to the black energy in his body.
People are always afraid of unknown existences.
Although he usually never talks about it, this has always been a big stone weighing on his heart.
At this moment, the big stone finally fell to the ground.
The dark energy in his heart was still there, but he felt relieved.
"Should we stay in Xiangzhou or go elsewhere?" Lin Ji thought to himself.
If you want to complete more causes and effects and kill some harmful monsters, you naturally have to find a place with more chaos.
Kyushu in the Central Plains and Liangzhou in Jingzhou were firmly controlled by the imperial court and could not cause chaos.
Xiangzhou is secretly controlled by the sect forces. With the presence of Taiyi Sect and Sansheng Sect, evil spirits are not rampant.
Further south is Yangzhou, the southernmost state of Kyushu. There are many merchants and aristocratic families, and there are more human-made disasters than evil spirits.
Yunzhou in the far north is heavily guarded all year round to resist the barbarians from the north. It is a place where birds don't poop and evil spirits don't like to go.
To the east is Xuzhou on the coast. There are many monsters in the water, and some are causing trouble to the people. You can go and see it.
In addition, there are three western states.
Victoria is controlled by Buddhism. Although it is still one of the nine states in the Central Plains, it can be regarded as the gateway to the Buddhist kingdom in the West.
Qingzhou and Yanzhou were areas beyond the reach of the imperial court. It was far from being clearly described by a random word.
This can be seen from the fact that Fang Yunshan sent the Ghost King of Liangcheng to Yanzhou.
After thinking about it for a long time, Lin Ji couldn't figure out where to go.
"That's all, let's just walk around for a while, wherever we go."
…
Yanzhou.
Compared with the fertility of the Xiangzhou Plain and the vastness of the mountains and rivers in Liangzhou, Yanzhou, one of the three western states, is desolate.
As far as the eye can see, there is nothing but loess next door.
The wind blew the decayed gravel rolling on the ground, making a crisp sound.
The few slightly moist mire areas were covered with withered vines.
There was some water accumulated in the quagmire. The soil should have filtered it and made it clear. However, under the intrusion of the poisonous frogs and flying insects on the beach, the originally small puddle became quiet.
A figure was walking with some difficulty against the wild sand rolled up by the strong wind.
When passing by a quagmire, I was startled by a poisonous snake hiding in the shade.
What's strange is that the snake was clearly angry because someone had invaded its territory, but it just looked at the hateful intruder and then stopped.
Even the croaking of frogs stopped, and all the poisonous insects burrowed into the soil.
All that was left was the buzzing of flying insects, which was quite disturbing.
The lone figure quickly disappeared into the distance and disappeared into the endless sand and dust.
He kept walking until he reached the top of a canyon before he could stop.
There was a bottomless abyss in front of him, and waves of cool air blew his clothes from bottom to top with the breeze coming from nowhere.
That is a monk's robe, a monk's robe from the Central Plains.
"The poor monk Xing Chi is asking to see the Ghost King of Liangcheng." Xing Chi faced the canyon with his hands clasped together and a slight salute.
After a moment, a gust of dark wind swept up and landed beside Xing Chi, turning into a graceful figure.
Wearing a white dress and bare feet.
It is incompatible with the surrounding yellow sand sky.
"I've seen Linglong Gui Shuai." Xing Chi gave another slight salute.
"The Ghost King has been waiting for you for a long time."
Xing Chi nodded slightly and followed Linglong into the abyss.
But then, his figure disappeared from the next door.
This is the ghost domain of the Liangcheng Ghost King, the new Ghost King City.
Everything around him, including the canyon, was nothing more than fantasy.
Xingchi followed Linglong all the way deeper, and finally stopped in front of a main hall.
Linglong resigned, and Xingchi walked into the main hall.
There was another round of spinning.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already in a small room.
There was only one table and three chairs in the room, and two of the chairs were occupied.
One is the Ghost King of Liangcheng, the other is...
"Xing Chi has seen Mr. Gao."
"I am no longer the head of the Tiantian Division. Please change my title."
"Mr. Gao."
Gao Qunshu nodded in agreement and pointed to the empty chair.
"Sit down, I've been waiting for you for a long time. But should we call you Xingchi or Zhangmi?"
"Zhang Mi is dead, and now I am Xing Chi." Xing Chi responded in a low voice.
Neither Gao Qunshu nor Ghost King had any objections to this, it was just a title.
After Xing Chi took his seat, Gao Qunshu asked: "Tell me, why did you summon us so early? You should know that Da Qin now regards me as a thorn in its side, and I don't want to show up easily."
The Ghost King also echoed from the side: "I also just want to live in a quiet corner and don't want to worry about anything."
Seeing that these two people were talking about rejection, Xing Chi was not in a hurry.
"Have you two ever heard of Victoria Tantra?"
The Ghost King shook his head. He had just escaped from the Demon Suppression Tower for more than a year. He was running around here and there, so he was not very well informed.
Gao Qunshu's expression moved slightly.
"I do know about Tantra, but Victoria has been controlled by Buddhism since ancient times. What can I do even if I know?"
After a pause, Gao Qunshu breathed a long sigh of relief.
He betrayed Jian Tiansi for the sake of a higher realm, but since he could sit in the position of the head of Jian Tiansi for so many years, he naturally had some compassion.
"The people of Victoria have suffered for a long time, but I am not in my position and do not seek to govern, and I can't do much with my strength, which has just entered the seventh realm."
Xing Chi shook his head.
"Both of you are wrong. Although I am a good person, I am not doing any good deeds when I mention Tantra."
"oh?"
Xing Chi chuckled and said: "Not long ago, my evil body was beheaded. It should be the secret that I stayed in the capital."
"What does this matter have to do with me?" Gao Qunshu was puzzled.
"The Buddhist two-body method I practice comes from Tantric Buddhism, and it was through Tantric Buddhism that my evil body was left with the means to escape from the capital."
"Don't be confused, let's get to the point." The Ghost King was a little impatient. He really didn't want to get involved in these nonsense.
The smile on Xing Chi's face became even brighter.
"What if I say that Tantric Buddhism has already planned to incorporate Victoria into the territory of the Buddhist Kingdom?"
