The waist-deep and one-foot-wide ditch winds around the dead forest, with some trees faintly sprouting buds.
Biaozi dug hard and pushed the ditch towards the field area designated by Ye Xuan.
There was a high pile of soil on both sides of the ditch, and Yue Yunzhai commanded the river soldiers to carry it away and make bricks.
Comparing this world with the mechanical automation of the previous world, each actually has its own advantages.
At least Ye Xuan, who had many subordinates to command, did not feel that building buildings during this time would be slower than in previous lives.
Bricks poured out from the brick molds are placed on the ashes of vegetation. In front of these bricks is the gap in the river.
There stood a wooden pillar, all red in color, covered with talisman arrays, emitting bursts of heat, baking the bricks on the ground to speed up drying.
Ye Xuan sat under the wooden pillar, breathing out the true energy to subdue demons, while he was refining another Yinhan wood.
This cold-yin wood is also covered with talisman formations. There is no need to transport it to the red lotus fire pool to transform into the nature of armor wood. As long as it is refined with true energy on the spot, it can be planted into the soil and be the same as the red wood.
Relatively, it forms the base of the formation of 'Xunfeng Jiamu Death Forbidden'.
Not long after, the Yinhan Wood turned into a pure black color under the continuous input of Ye Xuan's demon-conquering true energy.
Ye Xuan picked it up, walked to the front, planted it into the hole dug in advance, filled it with soil, and put two "Acquired Earth Nature Spirit Qi" into the surrounding soil to make the ground extremely solid.
.
Two red and black trees stand at the gap in the river. As long as a roof is put on it and a plaque is hung, it becomes a simple gatehouse.
The gate tower built by Ye Xuan cannot be that simple.
Gathering many formation materials, he built a gatehouse mainly made of dead wood from the magic tree and put it on the doorposts. Talismans fell down one after another. The talisman arrays on the two doorposts shone with light, as if there was a breeze swaying, and the air was filled with energy.
fluctuated.
Xunfeng Jiamu Death Forbidden is the death gate of the Wind and Thunder Formation, and it is also a confusing formation.
At this moment, this restriction is beginning to take shape. If anyone is outside, they can see that the gap in the river suddenly 'disappears', and the river water continues to gather here, as if it cannot be crossed.
Ye Xuan then rammed many formation piles into the surrounding soil in a specific order and position, and the vitality trembled faintly, all of which were constantly flowing here, announcing that the Xunfeng Jiamu Death Ban was officially completed.
Ye Xuan walked around to check it out and nodded with satisfaction.
He took out a fire-drinking spell and threw it directly towards the restriction. The spell broke in mid-air, forming a ball of fire and shooting towards the gate tower.
In the middle of the gate tower, a ball of green wind suddenly gathered into various kinds of wind knives, sweeping in at once, cutting the fire ball into pieces, and the inner fire energy was also swallowed up by the armor wood and turned into its own sustenance.
The death ban on Xunfeng Jiamu was completed, and the next step was to prepare for the layout of the 'Thunder Breathing Soil Gate', and the location was chosen in the field.
The Death Forbidden Gate is linked to the Grand Formation Eyes, and then the formation stakes are laid all around. The Wind and Thunder Cycle of Life and Death Formation is complete and can be activated at any time to protect all living creatures in my territory.
However, the area enclosed by the river is really too big, it must be as big as Blackwater Town.
The number of piles laid along the way alone is estimated to be thousands.
——There is a moat to protect you, so you can figure this out slowly and don't have to worry.
After Ye Xuan looked around, he refined two restricted access tokens, gave one to Yue Yunzhai, and wore one himself. After greeting Yue Yunzhai, he picked up the magic bag on the table, which contained hundreds of bricks, and led Fat Tiger
Left this place.
The bricks in the bag were made by Lianghe soldiers and three Rakshasa soldiers working day and night. They were spread around the armor wood and could be dried in an hour or two.
Today, Ye Xuan plans to go to the Red Lotus Fire Pond to see if the few bricks he left there have been burned into bricks, and then rush to the Yunshang Market.
The market is not far away from Wangchuan Ferry.
There is a gate tower at the junction of each of the ten realms of the Land of Misery. As long as you circle the gate tower three times forward and three times backward, you can enter the Yunshang Market.
When leaving the market, except for those who are crossing the river for the first time and the ferryman Lao Meng who has to go down the steps on both sides, the residents of Kudi only need to silently think about leaving in their hearts and they will appear in the previous place.
If you go down the steps on both sides, you will only appear at the Forgotten River Ferry.
People who live in the extremely cold environment near Wangchuan Ferry can reach and live there without much journey.
But if you live in other places, it would take at least one or two days to go from the Wangchuan Ferry to your doorstep. For someone as far away as Ye Xuan, it would take eight or nine days. It would not be surprising if anything happened in such a long time.
So few people will go down the steps and have to walk a long way.
…
In the scorching heat, there is a large red lotus fire pool surrounded by five volcanoes.
The white light emerging from Ye Xuan's body was very conspicuous in the scarlet of this magma hell.
Along the way, he was careful and avoided most of the areas with human traces, making it difficult for others to see his whereabouts.
In just one day, dark clouds formed in the sky in the scorching heat, thunder flashed over the Red Lotus Fire Pond, and various rumors about this were still fermenting and brewing within the territory, but had not spread out and fallen into the ears of interested people.
Ye Xuan walked into the natural cave dwelling that was steaming like a furnace and took out a few bricks.
Using local materials, the bricks made of gray-black soil were excavated and burned. After some paper burning, they had turned blue-grey. Ye Xuan experimented and found that the bricks were extremely hard. If some talismans were added, the house would be created.
It must be even more indestructible.
He put a few bricks into the magic bag, and then began to unload the hundreds of rough bricks he brought this time in the cave dwelling, and stacked them upright, with ventilation holes between every two bricks.
When Ye Xuan was a child, he went to some small private brick kilns and saw people firing bricks.
The scene was blurry in my mind at that time, but I always felt that the bricks should be laid out like this to prevent some of the brick surfaces from being baked.
Before leaving the cave, Ye Xuan used the prepared talisman to place a small barrier around the cave to prevent anyone from discovering the bricks being fired in the cave.
The blinding ban is a small ban that he decomposed from the wind and thunder formation. It has the same effect as the blinding method, but it lasts longer.
The Red Lotus Fire Pond is not accessible to anyone who wants to. Even if someone is familiar with the paths around the five volcanoes, the chance of survival is only half, let alone others.
However, this blindness ban can be done casually and does not take any effort.
Ye Xuan left the Red Lotus Fire Pond by another route and headed to the junction of the Heat Realm and the Tomb Mountain Realm.
The border between the two realms is clearly divided. One side is a desolate and hot desert, and the other side is covered with lush vegetation.
Ye Xuan hid in the dark and looked at the gatehouse with its gateposts standing in the desert and green space. After observing for a long time, no one else appeared around the gatehouse. Then he lurked carefully and surrounded the gatehouse with mottled plaques.
, quickly complete the steps of three forward turns and three reverse turns.
After a moment of dizziness, he appeared in Yunshang Market.
I don’t know what day it is, but there are a lot of people in this market, and there are a few more vendors setting up stalls than before.
Especially in front of a newly opened stall, there was already a long queue.
What does this store sell that makes it so popular?
Ye Xuan thought about it and looked towards the stall. The front of the queue pointed at a table. There was a strong cultivator sitting behind the table. There were several jade charms on the table, all of which were emitting green light.
The strong cultivator holds a talisman pen and is recording names on the green light.
He glanced at the thin man standing in front of the table, wrote down his name, and ordered: "Stretch out your hand."
The man hurriedly stretched out his skinny arm and placed it on the table. The strong cultivator put down the talisman pen and held down the thin man's arm. With his other hand, he picked up a seal from the corner of the table and stamped it on the thin man's wrist.
laugh!
A sound similar to that of burning pig skin was heard, and a burst of white smoke erupted from the emaciated man's arms.
He looked numbly at the mark that appeared on his arm after the white smoke dissipated.
"From now on, you will be the slave of Uncle Baihe's family in the Black Demon Kingdom. Here are three flesh and blood pills, take them!"
When the thin man saw the Flesh and Blood Pill, his expression finally became lively. He quickly stretched out his hands to take it, put it in his arms, wiped a few tears, and left in a hurry.
Is this actually selling oneself to survive?
Ye Xuan looked at this scene with mixed emotions.
If there is a way to survive, who is willing to commit himself to being a slave and a servant at the feet of others?
Seeing this scene, Ye Xuan gained a new understanding of the difficulty of living in the poor land.
He walked closer and observed for a while.
I saw that not all the people in the queue came to sell themselves into slavery, but more than half of them came to apply for part-time labor at the envoy of the Black Demon Kingdom.
There are several types of part-time workers.
One is to harvest the food in the spiritual field and get a flesh and blood pill every twenty days, but one flesh and blood pill is only enough for seven days;
One is to collect various medicinal herbs in the spiritual field, which requires certain skills, and you can get a flesh and blood pill every ten days;
There is also a kind of medicine that is specially collected called 'Jianxing Limestone Fruit', and you can get a blood and flesh pill every five days.
The last type offers the highest 'salary', but has the fewest people to do it.
Is there something fishy about this ‘seeing stone marrow fruit’?
“No matter how you pick the chalcedony fruit, no matter how you pick it, as long as the fruit is separated from the stem and vine, the poisonous smell will inevitably flow out.
Ordinary people will become blind if they pick for a long time, but if cultivators pick too much, they will go crazy." A nearby vendor saw Ye Xuan standing near the queue and seemed to be a little moved, so he couldn't help but give some words of advice.
, "Why do young people need to do this business when they are not desperate?"
If ordinary people pick too many of these see-through chalcedony fruits, they can actually become blind!
Ye Xuan instantly thought of the blind sister - his younger brother must have been kidnapped for some reason and needed to raise a sum of money in a short time.
That blind sister went blind just now when she was drafted to pick see-through chalcedony fruits, and her life was short-lived!
Ye Xuan thought about this and felt sour in his heart.
He bowed his hands to the hawker who reminded him aloud to express his gratitude, so as not to let others see his emotions, he walked somewhere else.
The matter of seeing the stone marrow fruit is not a secret and cannot be disclosed to others. Therefore, although the vendor reminded Ye Xuan aloud, the strong cultivator only looked at him and said nothing.
