Ye Fan is not too worried. The mysterious green copper block is silent in his sea of suffering. No one knows about it so far. There is definitely no one who will cause trouble for him.
"Perhaps Zhongzhou will cooperate with Donghuang. After all, both sides can have treasures lost in the graves under the deep pool."
"It is said that the desolate tower can kill immortals. If it were born, it would be enough to stop the demon emperor's tomb."
"The Desolate Tower is in the Demon Emperor's Yin Tomb. If you say so, if there is no solution at all, there will be no way to break open the tomb."
"What exactly is the treasure of Zhongzhou, and how could it be lost in our Eastern Wasteland?"
"Zhongzhou is ancient and mysterious. It is said that their treasures exist with the world and are not known to people at our level."
"What was lost in the Eastern Wasteland seems to be just a fragment. Almost no one knows what it is exactly."
Several monks discussed while eating, and Ye Fan got a lot of useful information.
"It's been more than two years, and the ruins have been like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. I really don't know when the results will come out, and I don't know how many people will die. Now that I think about it, we, the casual cultivators, should be free. Otherwise, if we were in a big city
Among the sects, they might be sent there, and as long as they get close to the deep pool, they will definitely escape death."
"The sects seem to have listened to the advice of a certain big shot, and they are going to perform blood sacrifices with endless lives to forcefully open the deep pool. I have a hunch that if the Desolate Tower is not brought out, there will never be peace in the Eastern Wasteland, and it is destined to be there.
It has become a blood-stained demonic land. The demon emperor is so terrible. I am afraid that he had predicted this result back then, and it is really a disaster that will last forever."
"Yes, many holy places and ancient families are determined to win the Desolate Tower, and they cannot stop hastily."
Ye Fan felt very relaxed. After he took the green copper in Zhongzhou into his hands, he had no idea about the Huangta. It was not something he could get. The mysterious green copper block was enough. What he had to consider now was
, how to enter the ancient forbidden land, he will never participate in the treasure hunt, and hide as far as possible.
Just when he was about to leave, Ye Fan heard an important piece of news. He calmly sat down again.
"The lives of several important people in the Holy Land and the Ancient Ancient Family are at stake. It is said that they are planning to take over the Ancient Forbidden Land."
"Isn't it possible? There are still people who dare to break in? Since ancient times, countless people have explored, but without accidents, almost all of them were destroyed. Back then, a certain Immortal Sect Holy Land used all its strength when they reached the most prosperous period in their history.
When tens of thousands of powerful monks came out and killed them, wouldn't they be wiped out in ashes? It was simply a living purgatory..."
"The holy land that was wiped out in ashes, they perished because they were too conceited and wanted to attack the abyss and reach the deepest part. This time, some holy places and ancient families were also forced to have no choice. Some of their big names were dying and wanted to
Collecting the magic medicine from the nine holy mountains to save lives is not about entering the abyss."
"I guess everyone who goes in will be wiped out. That restricted area of life is definitely more terrifying than the Demon Emperor's tomb!"
"This is not necessarily true. Since ancient times, some people have successfully collected holy medicines. Of course, it is not known what price they paid. Those holy places and ancient families have profound heritage. Since they intend to collect medicines, they must have thorough knowledge.
With good preparation, the hope of success is still very high.”
"This is also a major event that shocked the Eastern Wasteland. The Ancient Forbidden Land is one of the seven restricted areas of life in the Eastern Wasteland. After endless years, someone has finally moved there again."
"When will those holy places and ancient families set out? Why don't we join in the fun? They climb the nine holy mountains and collect holy medicines. We only pick some ordinary elixirs on the periphery. I think there won't be any big problems."
"It may take a while, but now is the most dangerous period in the ancient forbidden land..."
Finally, Ye Fan left the town. Thinking back on the words of those casual cultivators in his mind, he felt the need to think about it seriously.
"That restricted area of life is far more dangerous than I thought. I was able to survive mostly because of the existence of the nine dragon corpses and the giant bronze coffin."
Ye Fan did not fly, but walked all the way forward, passing by Yandu on the way. This city is very majestic, covering an extremely large area, and the city walls are like the Great Wall, stretching in front of it.
Yandu is very prosperous. Looking at the bustling people on the street, Ye Fan has a lot of feelings. He has been practicing alone in the mountains for two years. The contrast between the silence and the hustle and bustle in front of him is completely two extremes.
Facing mountains, forests, rock cliffs, and streams every day, suddenly returning to such a bustling capital city full of people made him feel very at home.
"Golden candied dates, big and sweet."
“Crispy chicken wings, if they don’t taste good, you don’t have to pay for them.”
"Zhang's soup dumplings are thin-skinned, juicy and delicious. Come and try them."
"Candied haws, each bunch only costs one copper coin."
The sounds of buying and selling are endless. There are also various performers on the street corners, gathering many adults and children. In front of each shop, there are enthusiastic clerks soliciting customers, and they can say a lot of nice things.
.
"Practice is too austere and hard, and the world of mortals is so charming..." Ye Fan couldn't help but sigh. He felt that all this was very vivid and cordial. Compared with the austere practice, this simple life made him yearn for it.
However, he could not shake the foundation of his practice because he wanted to go home, to the place where he was truly born and raised.
It has been three years since Ye Fan came to this world. Now that the hard training is over and he has returned to the world of mortals, he has a lot of thoughts and inevitably thinks of everything in his hometown.
"Time flies. It's been three years. I don't know what happened to the other students..." Ye Fan first thought of Pang Bo and was very worried about him. Then he thought of Liu Yiyi, Zhang Ziling, Lin Jia, Wang Ziwen, Zhou Yi and others.
"Perhaps, before entering the ancient forbidden land, I should go and see my former classmates." He wanted to see Liu Yiyi and Zhang Ziling, after three years of separation, and wanted to know what their current situation was like.
"Brother... I'm hungry. Buy me a bun to eat. Please, I'm very hungry." At this moment, Ye Fan found a dirty, pitiful little girl blinking her big eyes.
Looking up at him, she saw that her clothes were in tatters and her face was stained, but her eyes were clear.
Ye Fan hates seeing this kind of scene the most. He feels bitter every time. He bought a few steaming soup dumplings from the bun shop next to him, wrapped them in oil paper, handed them to the poor little girl, and then put them on his body.
She took out all the coins and stuffed them into her arms when passers-by weren't paying attention.
Until he disappeared into the street, the little girl was still in a daze.
Ye Fan strode out of the city and found that it was currently the closest to the Jade Cauldron, only more than four hundred miles away. He remembered that Liu Yiyi had become a disciple of the sect and decided to go there first to take a look.
The Yan Kingdom is two thousand miles long from north to south and three thousand miles long from east to west. The ancient forbidden land is located in the middle of the country, surrounded by endless mountains. Six sects, including Lingxu Cave Heaven and Jade Cauldron Cave Heaven, are all surrounding the outside of this primitive area.
The Jade Cauldron is surrounded by fairy mountains, shrouded in clouds and mist, and looks very ethereal from a distance, like a pure land outside the world.
When Ye Fan came to the mountain gate, he felt the natural and peaceful atmosphere. The green peaks and valleys, flowing springs and waterfalls, lush vegetation, and psychic birds and animals made it look like a world in a painting.
In front of the Tianshan Gate of Jade Cauldron, there is a strange beast guarding it. Its body is like a bull, its head is like a unicorn, and its body is ** meters long. It is lying in the pool of water, its huge eyes are slightly open, and it is staring at Ye Fan unkindly.
"Who are you, and why do you come to my Jade Cauldron?" At this moment, the disciple guarding the mountain gate also discovered him.
"I came to Jade Cauldron to visit a friend." When Ye Fan said Liu Yiyi's name, the expression of the disciple guarding the mountain gate suddenly softened a lot, and said: "Wait a moment, I will let someone inform you."
Half a quarter of an hour later, Liu Yiyi did not appear, but a young man with gray hair came over. When he saw Ye Fan, he immediately shouted and said: "Ye Fan, it's really you!"
Ye Fan was startled, then showed joy and said: "So you are also practicing in the Jade Cauldron."
The visitor is Zhang Wenchang, a former classmate. Whether he was in school or after graduation, he has always been ordinary and ordinary. He is dull by nature and doesn't like to talk much. If many people gather together, it is easy for people to forget his existence.
Ye Fan stepped forward, punched him with a smile, and said: "You have regained your youth, congratulations!"
Zhang Wenchang showed a wry smile and said: "My skin is just no longer wrinkled. Look, my temples are still frosty."
"It's much better than when we parted. At that time you were very old, but now you look like a young man whose gray hair has taken root prematurely."
"I envy you so much for reliving your boyhood." Zhang Wenchang, who is dull by nature, also learned to joke.
The two looked at each other and laughed, feeling sincerely happy to meet old friends.
At the beginning, each of the six cave heaven paradises selected two people and divided them equally between Pang Bo and the others, with the exception of Ye Fan.
Zhang Wenchang and Liu Yiyi were chosen by the Jade Cauldron and have been practicing here for three years.
"Yiyi is the favorite of the elders in the sect. She has great potential and is now in seclusion. It is said that she is very likely to be promoted to the life spring realm within half a year or a year. This cultivation speed is very scary."
"You're not bad either. You look good."
"I can't compare with Yiyi. I'm just a middle-class person in the sect. My appearance can be restored to this state because of Yiyi's request from a Supreme Elder."
Zhang Wenchang led Ye Fan into the Jade Cauldron. It was very magnificent inside. The verdant fairy mountains were like green jade, dotted with light, shrouded in fairy mist, and there were even waterfalls falling down, and the white horses were like condensed stars.
On many misty mountain peaks, you can vaguely see some palaces and towers, which are very ethereal and have the charm of a fairyland.
The most surprising thing is that there is a snow-white mountain in the center of the mountains. It is like jade, without any grass growing on it, and it is shining with a little luster. It is shaped like a round tripod.
"We have been separated for three years, and we must have a big drunken time today." Zhang Wenchang looked very excited and happy.
"Does your sect of cultivating immortals have meat and wine?" When Ye Fan was in Lingxu Cave, he and Pang Bo were vegetarians every day. Those days felt like a kind of torture.
"Don't worry, there is wine and meat. Now I have officially embarked on the path of spiritual practice. I don't need to eat vegetarian food to train my mind like a new disciple."
The Jade Cauldron is very vast, passing through several mountains. Zhang Wenchang brought Ye Fan to a peach blossom forest. There were many taverns next to it, which looked very poetic.
"Monks are human beings too, and they also need to relax." Zhang Wenchang explained with a smile: "Of course, it is impossible to drink red wine and green wine and be greedy for power like in the world. We can only have a drink and taste some delicious food here."
"That's not bad." Ye Fan nodded and said with a smile: "Otherwise, I really thought that monks would have to kill all seven emotions and six desires."
The two of them found a small wine shop and sat down. The pear wood Eight Immortals table and the peach wood four-legged chairs looked antique. They were placed on the side of the road, facing the peach blossom forest, which gave it a very artistic conception. The same was true for other wine shops, with tables and chairs placed in the open air.
Outside.
They ordered some food and drinks and started drinking together. They came to this strange world and saw their former classmates again. They were both very emotional and had endless words to say.
"When I came to this strange world, I couldn't sleep all night for a long time. I dreamed of going back. I missed my parents and my friends..." Zhang Wenchang, who is dull by nature, spoke a lot today and showed his true feelings, as if he had met his relatives.
generally.
Li Xiaoman's indifference, Zhang Wenchang's enthusiasm, and the contrast between the front and rear made Ye Fan very emotional.
"Perhaps, we can go back in the future." Ye Fan said.
"Go back...I no longer have such illusions." Zhang Wenchang shook his head bitterly and said: "How have you been living in the past three years? Whether you are living in the Lingxu Cave or in the mortal world, how did I hear about it?
Pangbo disappeared?"
When he saw his old classmate, Ye Fan wanted to tell the truth, but he held back. His experience was very complicated. If he told it, it would bring trouble to both of them. He could only nodded and said: "Pang Bo has indeed disappeared.
I am very worried. I have left Lingxu Cave a long time ago and am now traveling around the world."
"Well, it's not easy for us. It's not easy for ordinary people. Practice is not as beautiful as imagined. It is very boring. We may face various life and death hardships in the future."
"You have to be careful. It's best to practice more and go out less." Ye Fan reminded.
Zhang Wenchang nodded, and then said with a bitter smile: "I can see that no matter where I am, I will never stand out. It was like this in the past, and it is still like this now. I can only live a mediocre life in this life. Maybe, there is
One day I will leave here, go to the world of ordinary people, open a tavern, and live the rest of my life peacefully."
"Don't be so negative..." Ye Fan comforted.
"What you don't know is that the world of monks is very cruel. If I don't leave, I will die in the hands of others sooner or later. Then I will die silently, just like an ordinary wave in the river.
, no one will know, no one will cry for me, only I know that I am no longer in this world."
After Ye Fan heard this, he felt deeply. He had not really entered the world of monks. Now it seems that it is really cruel.
Zhang Wenchang sighed: "I heard that Lin Jia, Zhou Yi, Wang Ziwen, and Li Xiaoman are all valued by their teachers. It seems that some people can shine no matter where they are."
The two chatted while drinking, talking about many past events and the current predicament. In the end, Zhang Wenchang became completely drunk. He lay on the table and started crying, saying: "I really want to go back, I don't want to stay here."
In this strange world, when I left, my wife was pregnant and our child was about to be born. When she needed me most, I disappeared and came here..."
He couldn't control himself, like a child, crying uncontrollably.
"I really want to go back... My child should be three years old now. I dream about seeing him, holding him, and kissing him..."
Seeing Zhang Wenchang in such pain and crying loudly, Ye Fan's heart was filled with ups and downs, and he kept speaking out to calm him down.
"Who do I think is crying? It turns out to be that useless old man." A few sneers came from not far away, and several young people were walking towards them with undisguised contempt.
"My hair has turned white, and this half-wasted person still has the nerve to cry."
"How ridiculous!"
Most of them were in their twenties, and they were all sarcastic without mercy.
Ye Fan sighed. He finally knew that Zhang Wenchang had a very unsatisfactory life in the Jade Cauldron. He shot out two divine lights from his eyes, looked at the people in front of him, and said: "You should keep some virtue in your mouth."
"Who are you? When you are nosy, you must first weigh your own weight."
"I really think I am a master in the life spring realm, it's ridiculous!"
"What kind of master can a friend of a half-wasted old man be..."
"Don't say that. If that Liu Yiyi finds out, he might file a complaint again."
"It's you!" At this moment, the youngest boy among them, who was around 16 years old, opened his eyes wide with an angry look, staring at Ye Fan.
"Junior Brother Han, do you know him?" asked several young people next to him.
The young man's eyes were spitting fire, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Of course I know him. He is not from your Yuding Cave. He once stayed in our Lingxu Cave and is a veritable waste!"
Ye Fan sighed secretly, feeling that the world is really small sometimes, and he didn't expect to meet Han Feiyu here.
"Really? It turns out he is a loser. As expected, birds of a feather flock together, and the friend of the half-wasted old man is really a loser." The young people next to him all laughed unscrupulously.
