Lord of Deception

Time flies, and a few months have passed. Yu Ziqing has been practicing diligently and laying a solid foundation. He has not been in a hurry to make vigorous progress. His cultivation speed is already very fast.

In addition to constantly tempering the physical body and tempering the Yin spirit, the rest of the time was also very busy.

We still have to continue to work on sorting out the records in the Book of Anshi and sorting out the large amount of complicated information obtained from the seals.

Not only should he continue to complete the hundred secret skills of Jinlan, but he should also continue to teach all kinds of messy subjects.

Just like Jinlan's Secret Technique, Yu Ziqing just started the topic and then left it there.

This is preparation. The more you know, the more directions you have. When you gain the power of judgment, you can have a little control over the direction of the power you gain.

If you don't care about anything, the power you get may be a skill button that doesn't even have an instruction manual. You only know how to use it instinctively, but you don't know how it came from.

Use the power of judgment to do private work and obtain a strange secret method, which will not affect the final result of killing the enemy.

Then why not take the opportunity to do some private work.

When Yu Ziqing relied entirely on his own knowledge to try to deduce a new secret method, he realized firsthand that he should not force himself too hard.

He has only studied for a few years, and compared with Lao Yang's knowledge reserve, he is no different from an illiterate.

It’s entirely up to you to deduce it, so forget it.

He should still act like Party A honestly, give directions and requirements, and then lie down and wait for Party B's boss to slap the results on his face. He took advantage of the situation and gave a shocking expression, "Will Just call 666.

If the chief can do this, then there is nothing wrong with using judgment to do this.

Over the past few months, there has been no sign of calming down outside, but instead it has become more and more noisy.

I often hear Song Chengyue sighing and feeling restless.

The imperial court is unsettled, and so is Langya Courtyard.

In the court, the prince and the princes fought with each other, and any trouble could be the reason for their fight.

There was even more unrest in Langya Courtyard. Cheng Jing, the head of the hospital who was on duty, killed another head of the hospital in public in Langya Courtyard.

There was a lot of fuss about this.

Previously, there was a huge quarrel in Langya Academy over whether to classify Langya Transformation Technique as a witchcraft.

The people who originally studied this Langya Transformation Technique, whoever participated in it, and who presided over it, were all dug out.

However, the entire research data on Langya Transformation Technique itself is incomplete.

Before, the blame for this matter could be blamed on the dead head Wu, but since the death of the governor, he died in front of Cheng Jing, and he also used the magic of death by gods and demons in front of Cheng Jing, the nature has changed. .

The lack of information in the early stages of research was not just lost, but the secret was deliberately destroyed, destroying the original source of this evil magic.

Cheng Jing was so murderous that he not only killed a hospital leader in public, but also took down all the people involved in the research.

If you want to say that a dignified head of the academy, who has been involved in research from the early stage, does not know the source of the evil method, it is an insult to everyone's IQ and your own IQ.

This matter was so loud that Emperor Qian had to ask about it. Before Cheng Jing said anything, Jianzhen, who had been in seclusion, got the news and went out directly to meet Emperor Qian and pushed Emperor Qian back.

Langya Academy is roughly divided into three factions. The faction headed by Cheng Jing, supported by Jianzhen, wants to make reforms in Langya Academy.

There are also some heads of the hospital who have gathered together to oppose Cheng Jing's messing around and making the matter bigger.

There are also some things that, as long as they don’t disturb my research, don’t affect my research, and don’t lack my funds, it’s none of my business to beat the donkey to death.

In addition, although Langya Academy is nominally independent, it still has to ask Emperor Qian for a lot of funds.

The people inside can't really be completely independent. From students to teachers, many of them are backed by various forces. They may themselves be direct members of a certain family or sect.

There was a commotion in Langya Courtyard. All parties, including Prince Daqian and the prince, naturally followed suit and the situation became increasingly chaotic.

In just a few months, a hospital leader has died, and there have been more than a dozen bloodsheds.

It is said that Cheng Jing also found out some other things, and he was in a state of rage, unwilling to take a step back no matter what.

Originally, this kind of opportunity was a good time to reach into Langya Courtyard and take advantage of the opportunity to deploy people.

Song Chengyue was cautious and did not interfere, and had been secretly maintaining the situation outside Langya Courtyard to ensure that the problem was resolved within Langya Courtyard.

He can't control it inside, but if it spreads outside, he will have a problem.

The governor had just died and he had no opponent. It was best to keep a low profile and not be arrogant, otherwise it would be easy for them to die together.

Yu Ziqing didn't care much about these issues. He only cared about the Daqian court and Langya Courtyard, and whether anyone went to the archway in the south of the wasteland.

Then, Song Chengyue said that the Daqian court and Langya Academy had no time to pay attention to these matters now, and only sent some spies.

Yu Ziqing understood.

He doesn't care what happens over there in Daqian, he will only default to Langya Courtyard and Daqian Court. Some people know or guess that there is a big pit in that archway.

Therefore, they will not invest in high-level experts before there is definite information.

No one went to the Dali court, as if they didn't know about it at all.

Everyone seems to be waiting.

Yu Ziqing could understand their caution. If they did nothing and allowed Da Dui to return and open the tenth level road, then they would be able to reap the benefits with peace of mind.

Now that I am fully prepared, when the road to the tenth level opens, I can attack the tenth level as soon as possible before everyone else.

Yu Ziqing felt that among the divine dynasties, major sects, and major clans, almost all of them were first-class and second-class disasters, with only a handful of third-level disasters. This was probably the reason.

For one or two kalpas, you have to do things and for three kalpas, it is best to be prepared and maintain your condition at all times.

When the time comes, whoever is the first to appear at level 10 will not only have the strongest deterrence, but also have different meanings.

Yu Ziqing was constantly sorting out information in Jinlan Mountain.

And on the other side, Dali.

Fu Xiao is also in the Shadow Division archives, constantly looking for records about Da Dui.

In the huge library in Dali Palace City, there are also a large number of people looking for any records related to Datu.

Those records may have existed before, but when Dadui disappeared, those records would be under the influence of inexplicable power, making them unable to see or find them. Even if they saw them, they might ignore the key points.

Now, a white jade building that truly belongs to Dadui has appeared, and Dadui's archway has also appeared, kicking off the show, and that terrible shielding will dissipate a lot.

Although Da Li did nothing on the surface, the prince was already making preparations in advance.

There are more and more records about Datu, and they have all been sorted out and summarized.

Originally, I couldn't find a few books, but now, I have found some scattered records about Dadai in thousands of books.

All are records related to Dadui, and there are already two to three hundred books.

And this number is still increasing.

The prince looked at one of the books. It was a travel diary that recorded what a monk who once lived in Dali saw and heard when he traveled to Datu.

As mentioned above, in the 2600th year of Dadui Dingmao, this monk who did not leave his name passed by a place.

The wealthy families there control a land thousands of miles around, control more than half of the official positions, and all the posts of county guards and county guards. They respect their troops but do not respect orders. They have almost become a country in the divine dynasty.

There is a local temple there, which is like a separate imperial court. The city god sits high, and the land, mountain gods, and river gods below it are all under his control, and he controls all the resources in that area.

The most terrifying thing is that the city god and the land are all members of the wealthy family.

This unknown monk just passed by and left in a hurry.

The prince frowned slightly as he looked at the travel notes.

The imperial seal can only be completed if the emperor of the dynasty writes the talisman himself.

Moreover, this imperial fiefdom has always been extremely strict, and even if it is an imperial fiefdom, the land can only be in the fiefdom.

Furthermore, the land, the mountain gods, and the river gods are all their own, especially the river god, who is directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.

The original intention of the imperial fiefdom was to stabilize the place. The landowners did not have much rights at all. Once they left the fiefdom, they would be useless.

Let them monitor at all times to ensure the safety of one party. At critical moments, they can actually be used to take the blame.

For example, the River God is a very risky place.

As long as a series of things like river diversions, dyke bursts, floods, etc. happen, the River God Eight will have to be pulled out to bask in the sun.

Many, many years ago, the rivers, lakes and seas were actually the territory of the Dragon Clan.

The position of the River God is basically granted to the Dragon Clan dependents or the Dragon Clan bloodline.

But later, if something happened, they would pull out a dragon to peel off its skin and cramps, or pull out the river god and expose him to death, or simply burn him to death.

Slowly, all the dragons retreated into the sea, and all the rivers and lakes were ignored.

The objects of the River God's decree began to become other things, including humans, demons, water ghosts, etc., all of which were possible.

Today, even if the imperial enfeoffment only has the largest number of Daqian, it is far from being so crazy.

In a land thousands of miles away, there are not only mountain gods and land, but also river gods and city gods.

But now there is no such thing as a city god.

Prince Dali went to see these materials in person and read them one by one.

After reading it, she thought for a long time.

"Take a copy of all these and send them to... the Gu family."

A few days later, Yu Ziqing received a summons from Lin Fu, which included several jade slips.

When I opened it, I found that they were all records about Datu, and basically all of them were materials from the last period.

After reading it, Yu Ziqing sat there, frowning and meditating.

At the end of Datui, even the earth dared to seal the land at will. It was really a suicide attempt.

In other words, even the late Duihuang started to mess around.

I had known for a long time that Emperor Ding Maodui was either a good person or a fool, but I still didn't expect that he would be so foolish.

Yu Ziqing couldn't help but start thinking about the questions he had been thinking about for a long time.

Even if Da Dui comes back, what's the use?

Apart from reopening the tenth-level road, there seems to be no use.

Moreover, when Da Dui returned, he was also in the south of the wasteland. There was such a thing under his nose. Isn't it an eyesore?

But things have reached this point, and no one can stop it.

Yu Ziqing must find out what is inside the archway. At the very least, he must know himself and the enemy.

Ten days later, Yu Ziqing received another summons, from Zhong Shouzheng.

After walking out of Jinlan Mountain, we headed all the way towards Dali. When we arrived at the border between the wasteland and Dali, we saw Zhong Shouzheng, sitting in a pavilion in the wilderness drinking tea and showing off.

Yu Ziqing walked forward happily.

"Senior, you took the initiative to come to me, but you made money again?"

Zhong Shou couldn't pretend anymore and laughed.

"Yes, they didn't dare to approach Jinlan Mountain at all, so they invited me here."

"What's up?"

Yu Ziqing probably had some idea in his mind that after those people entered the Dadui Archway, no news came back for a long time, so something must have happened now.

"The leader of the Nirvana Sect has fallen."

"do not know."

"One of the strong men who entered the archway, his soul lamp went out. When he was about to die, he burned his soul and used the soul lamp to spread some news.

Within it is the final stage of Great Dui, where evil spirits are everywhere, the earth is only for disaster, monsters breed, and there are many dangers.

Moreover, they haven't even figured out what the disaster was that caused Dadui to seal the entire Dadui.

More importantly, there was a traitor among them, and he was plotted against. "

"Huh?" Yu Ziqing was startled.

Boy, he had never thought of such a thing.

Those people in the archway did not quickly unite and think about how to solve the problem, and even stabbed their teammates in the back.

Is this a serious illness?

"Do you know who plotted against him?"

"Maybe he doesn't know, the news he sent back didn't say anything."

"Then what did they ask you to do?"

"Let me ask you, Jin Lanshan, to take action."

"It's so funny, are you asking us to take action? Why should we take action? I've said it before, but they haven't done anything yet, so they still have the nerve to ask us for help? Do they just want to sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor?"

"Of course I know. I didn't want to come in the first place, but they gave me two natural treasures and said they wouldn't blame me if they succeed or not. So of course I won't make any profit."

Zhong Shouzheng smiled cheerfully, and he was not surprised by Yu Ziqing's reaction. He had no intention of being a good lobbyist.

Anyway, I just took a trip to watch the excitement and get the benefits.

By the way, let's see how Yu Ziqing's injury is doing.

"You seem to have recovered quite well. Do you need any treasures from heaven and earth? This time I specially asked for one to keep you healthy. Let's take one for each of us. Don't give up."

Zhong Shouzheng stretched out his hand and took out a long jade box.

Yu Ziqing laughed out loud. This guy is really addicted to blackmail.

The villains come one after another, taking turns.

Yu Ziqing even felt that Zhong Shouzheng didn't want to be a neighbor because he couldn't kill those grievances naturally because he came here.

After all, in name only, Zhong Shouzheng was taking huge risks.

"Don't refuse. I have no use for this natural treasure."

"Forget it, just take it. I have recovered from my injuries. I have no use for these things. It would be a waste to give them to me."

Yu Ziqing insisted on refusing to accept it. He would definitely not want the innocent son that Zhong Shouzheng killed with his own skills.

“Senior can go back and tell those people that it’s not impossible to help.

But, I can't help in vain. "

"Of course this is what it should be. If you are willing to help, then you don't have to worry about the rest. If I don't let them bleed out, it won't happen."

"No, senior, that's almost enough. I've always been kind and helpful to others.

Now that the governors are dead, I won't ask for too much, and I certainly won't cause them any pain.

It's not impossible to help them go in and take a look.

It's just that place, if I go in, I may not be able to come out.

Moreover, listening to what you said, I think that the plot against the leader of the Nirvana Sect is most likely not a traitor, but a monster.

I have been to many Dadui seals, and I know them best.

There must be some kind of monster that can pretend to be them, hide among them, and wait for opportunities to hunt them.

The strong people who can go there will definitely know that if they don't unite, everyone might end together.

You tell them, I want all the detailed information on those people, the more detailed the better.

It is best to have records from when they were young to now. The more detailed the better.

In this way, if I meet someone, I must at least confirm their identity first so that we can match each other's numbers.

I have to resolve their misunderstandings one by one and help them unite before I have a chance to resolve this matter. "

Yu Ziqing was fooling around with his eyes open, but what he said was quite reasonable.

Those people inside must be on guard against each other now.

If you want to unite, you can only have outsiders, and you must not have close relationships with any of them.

The people from Jinlan Mountain are indeed the most suitable.

Zhong Shouzheng thought about it for a moment and realized that this was indeed the truth.

Regardless of how we want to do something, we must unite first.

"Okay, I'll tell them when I get back."

"Tell them, if I can't confirm the identity of the other party, I will definitely not go. If I go to help, then I have to have a chance to succeed, right?

I don't want them to lie and hide any information, and finally let the monsters mix among us and turn against us at the critical moment.

Let everyone die inside, and ask them if they can bear the loss of a dozen ninth-level people.

Da Dui will never come back, can they accept it?

Oh, by the way, give me a list of those people. "

"Don't worry, I'll take care of things." Zhong Shouzheng agreed and left in a hurry.

Yu Ziqing was waiting where he was.

In fact, he knew the hammer, so how could he possibly know the details inside.

Regardless of whether there was a traitor inside, he had to let the people outside unite first.

People outside the province are starting to be wary of each other, and they are doing shit.

Follow the trend and get some secret information.

Isn’t this information just needed to determine the identity?

Yu Ziqing could only acquiesce that there was really a traitor inside.

And you have to acquiesce that everyone is a traitor. Get everyone's information first. Even if the information is incomplete and cannot be directly judged, you should first lay the foundation and then look for the very few missing shortcomings.

While waiting for Zhong Shouzheng, Yu Ziqing contacted Lao Song.

"I need your help. One of the people who entered the archway has already died. Do you know?"

"Huh? Did one die so soon? I haven't received the news yet."

"I want detailed information on these people. The more detailed the better." Yu Ziqing listed the list.

Song Chengyue took a look and nodded.

"Okay, no problem, but some of them may not be particularly detailed. How soon do you want them?"

"Don't worry, detailed information will be given priority."

"Then I understand." After the chat, Song Chengyue couldn't help but ask: "How are they two?"

"Your son received two more severe beatings. Your daughter is too sensible, and everyone loves her very much."

Upon hearing this, Song Chengyue immediately stared.

"Fight me to death, as long as I don't kill you!"

"Don't scream so fiercely now, I'm telling you, your son is going to train, and maybe in a few hundred years, if he finds out about you, he will beat you to death first."

"Hahaha, that's best. Whenever he can beat me to death, then I can die in peace."

"..."

The corner of Yu Ziqing's mouth twitched. Can't a mad dog's brain circuit be the same as that of a normal person?

Yu Ziqing was too lazy to argue with Lao Song anymore and turned around to leave the ring on the seventh floor.

Lao Song is just an insurance company here, and the information is definitely not particularly complete.

The point is, the information given by those big sects and clans.

It depends on whether Zhong Shouzheng can bluff them.

…

In the secret room of the meeting, Zhong Shouzheng sat there with a golden sword and sneered at the people who came to the meeting.

He slapped the two jade boxes directly on the table.

"Do you think I care about your treasures?

Let me tell you the truth, if I hadn't tried so hard with my words and used some tricks, Jin Lanshan wouldn't have wanted to get involved at all.

You guys know nothing, have you ever broken a Datu seal?

In order to show his sincerity, Jin Lanshan had already worked hard and taken risks to resolve dozens of Da Dui seals.

Don’t they know far better than you do?

As soon as they heard it, they knew that this must be the work of a monster from the Dadui period, and they even knew what methods the monster would use.

Besides, when it comes to dealing with monsters, who among you here can be stronger than the people from Jinlan Mountain?

It's life-threatening and requires the tenth-level path.

They still have to hide their scandalous stories of wearing crotchless pants to spy on women taking a shower and causing harm to fellow juniors when they were young.

You choose.

Do you think I am willing to help become a lobbyist?

That's why I went because I knew that that little brother was always upright and would probably be soft-hearted.

Do you really think I care about such a treasure that I have no use for?

Pooh. "

Zhong Shouzheng faced a group of people alone, spitting everywhere, making everyone's faces turn black, but they did not dare to say anything.

Seeing Zhong Shouzheng standing up and about to leave, someone immediately came up to smooth things over.

"Calm down, we really have no other intention. We should put the things away first. They have been sent out. There is no reason to take them back."

After being sprayed, the vague feeling of caution among everyone also dissipated a little.

If it were a foreign enemy and not a traitor, its nature would naturally be different.

"It's just some information. It's not a secret. There's nothing wrong with it."

"Don't be impatient, it just takes some time."

After everyone agreed, Zhong Shouzheng's tone became slightly better.

“Since you have decided to give it, it is up to you whether you want to hide something or not.

Look at what is being concealed. Is it worth a dozen lives in the Three Tribulations Realm? Is it worth the journey to the tenth level? "

Zhong Shouzheng left.

Someone sighed.

"Of course it's not worth it. I've worked so hard and spent so much money on it, how could I give up just because of such a trivial matter?"

"makes sense……"

One month later.

Yu Ziqing got the information sent by Lao Song.

Zhong Shouzheng also sent information from various factions and tribes.

Comparing the two, Lao Song's is naturally a little less, but has more black material.

However, the materials sent by various factions contained quite a lot of black material.

They were unwilling to accept the multiple-choice questions in front of them, so they could only hold their noses and admit it.

And for fear that something crucial was missing, some sects even sent rubbings of the techniques they had practiced.

Although these rubbings without true meaning are of little use and can easily lead to problems if practiced according to practice, the content is fine.

If you want to identify the person, directly reading the original text of the exercise is naturally one of the ways.

They wanted to just give some other simple identification methods, but Zhong Shouzheng kept threatening and bragging.

Just tell me that the monsters there have great magical powers and can transform into exactly the same person. From their strength to their skills, they can even directly copy the things they know.

Even if some people think that there is something else wrong here.

But who dares to gamble?

Can't afford to lose.

If you lose, you will not only lose a dozen ninth-level players, but you will also lose everyone's journey to the tenth level.

Yu Ziqing studied the information carefully first, and delayed it for another month before going out with a bunch of topics.

Lao Yang wanted to follow, but Yu Ziqing refused.

Since a little bit of news can be spread when someone is dying, there is a high probability that the ring on the seventh floor can still be used.

At most, face-to-face communication has turned into text communication.

It is better for Laoyang to assist remotely than to follow directly.

The village chief wanted to go, but Yu Ziqing didn't let him go. Jinlan Mountain's future supporter, the anchor of the village, couldn't go out at this time.

Before he was sure what was going on inside, Yu Ziqing was not going to take anyone with him except Ten Thousand Soul Banner and Lou Huai.

After leaving Jinlan Mountain, Yu Ziqing headed south.

When I was almost there, I saw a person waiting here.

"Old Lord, are you going too?"

"You've already gone, why can't I go?"

"Are you really not afraid of being trapped and dying in there?"

"I would have been dead."

Yu Ziqing cupped his hands and made a gesture of invitation.

Just go, the old man's inner demon is telling stories on the radio every day, and it's not for nothing.

This old guy is cruel and ruthless, and Yu Ziqing has no intention of following him.

Seeing Lao Shouzun enter the archway first and disappear, Yu Ziqing didn't rush in and just waited.

He walked to the archway, stretched out his hand to touch the pillars of the archway, felt its breath, and walked around every corner of the archway bit by bit, writing down the bricks and tiles.

After waiting for several days, Yu Ziqing stood in front of the archway and took a breath.

"about there."

Taking one step forward, his figure disappeared instantly.

He landed in the void, his feet lost weight, and his figure kept falling.

The surroundings seemed to be endless void, just like where the Book of Anshi was, and endless streams of light were speeding past.

The large seal of the Jiazicheng County Governor on his body flew out on its own and hung above his head. A wisp of divine light fell down and enveloped his whole body, allowing him to stabilize his figure.

The surrounding light suddenly turned into blurry images that quickly moved away.

Yu Ziqing controlled his body shape and slowed down his fall, and the picture he saw became clearer and clearer.

Then not long after, he saw something familiar.

The strange fire ignited, and the flames swept across, igniting the entire world.

Every picture seems to be something important that has happened before.

Yu Ziqing naturally took control, slowly slowed down, and slowly observed.

Every picture was like a movie being played, and hundreds of movies were playing around him at the same time.

Slowly, Yu Ziqing saw more and more familiar things.

He had broken the seal, saw Jinlan Mountain fall, saw countless people starving to death and turned into starving ghosts, and saw the burning White Jade Tower.

The last countless scenes were left behind as Yu Ziqing fell.

At the bottom end, countless pictures came together and turned into a huge picture, which continued to expand, and finally turned into a world, including Yu Ziqing.

The light was dazzling to the extreme. As soon as he closed and opened his eyes, Yu Ziqing noticed the wind blowing by his ears and a wisp of wheat fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose.

In front of us is a golden wheat field. At first glance, it is indeed a beautiful scenery.

However, Yu Ziqing sniffed his nose, and there was still a hint of musty smell in the wheat fragrance.

When I stepped forward and took a closer look, I saw that some wheat grains had fallen off from the wheat ears and were moldy in the field. Some wheat grains had even germinated directly on the wheat ears.

It looked endless, a large flat wheat field, but no one could be seen.

And no one has harvested these already ripe wheat.

Yu Ziqing looked around, took out the big seal of Jiazicheng County Governor, and tried it. There was light flowing on the big seal, but it couldn't take him out of here.

I took out other county guard seals and tried them together with the county guard seal, but still couldn't leave.

It was exactly what he expected.

This looks like the seal in the Book of Anshi, but it is different.

The seals in the Book of Anshi have a limited range, but here, until now, Yu Ziqing has not felt the aura of a single person, let alone the aura of a ninth-level powerhouse.

Boundless.

Yu Ziqing broke off an ear of wheat, rubbed it with his hands, put it into his mouth and chewed it slowly. A raw and sweet taste of wheat slowly appeared, and there was even a trace of aura that could not be detected. in it.

It's all true.

This is Dadui, and everything that Dadui disappeared is here.

Yu Ziqing flew high into the sky and looked down at the earth. In addition to large wheat fields, some buildings could be vaguely seen in the distance.

But it's too quiet here. You can't see birds flying across the sky, and you can't see animals running around on the earth.

Not even a living person was seen.

"Lou Huai, do you feel the breath of life?"

"No, not one."

Yu Ziqing fell to the ground again, gathered all his breath, and put on a set of Zhong Shouzheng's same hooded black robe.

He slowly walked towards the building complex in the distance.

Halfway through the march, the sun set and the sky gradually darkened.

The moonlight began to shine, and a vague murmur floated from a distance.

In the chanting, the moonlight slowly twisted and deformed, gradually turning into wisps of slender moonlight filaments, falling to the earth.

At this time, the chirping of insects and birds began to appear. In the wheat field, voles came out of their holes and ate the grain everywhere.

The screams of "wawa" were connected together, and large black clouds flew out from the mountains in the distance, constantly rushing into the wheat fields.

Small animals such as voles and rabbits were picked up by crows and flew into the air.

While it was still in the air, a large group of black crows swarmed up, dismembering and devouring it in mid-air, and continued to look for other prey.

Yu Ziqing restrained all his aura, made seals with his hands, covered his figure, and watched the black cloud-like crows soaring into the sky again, as if they had gathered into a black python, moving forward with its head held high.

When the huge black python rushed towards a mountain in the distance with its head held high, Yu Ziqing felt as if he saw the mountain come alive.

A huge hand reached out and grabbed the neck of the giant python. With a puff, the black crows in the sky broke up and rained blood, falling into the mountains.

After a moment, everything returned to its original state, and the scattered black crows flew away again and continued to hunt elsewhere.

Bloody energy, evil spirit, and strange aura suddenly filled the world.

Halfway through Yu Ziqing's walk, a large river appeared in front of him. At dawn before, he didn't realize there was a big river here even though he was floating high in the sky.

The water of the big river reflected fluorescent light under the moonlight, making the water look pitch black.

A awning boat sails on the river.

There is an incense burner with a diameter of three feet on the bow of the boat, and an incense stick as thick as a human arm is stuck on it.

Accompanied by the sound of rushing water, the oars creaked, and behind the awning boat, large bubbles appeared on the water, as if there were a large group of things following the awning boat.

The ignited curls of light smoke, accompanied by the falling moonlight, continued to fall into the water.

Yu Ziqing stood on the shore, looking at the river in the distance, his face slightly cold.

His Yin Shen opened his eyes and saw another picture.

The incense sticks in the incense burner were randomly pinched together with fingers, eyeballs, internal organs and other objects.

Behind the awning boat were water ghosts, all vying for the incense that contained the evil smell of blood.

The boatman who was rowing the oar seemed to have noticed Yu Ziqing. He suddenly turned his head and looked this way, revealing his dark eyes. He opened his mouth and smiled, revealing two gaping teeth, and held the boat to Yu Ziqing's side.

"Brother, do you want to cross the river?"

"How much is the shipping fee?"

"It's very cheap." The boatman held out a finger.

"A what?"

"One stick of incense will do."

"A stick of incense like this?" Yu Ziqing pointed to the incense burner on the bow of the boat.

“No, no, no, just an ordinary stick of incense will do.

I offer sacrifices to the River God. Only I can lead people across the river here. If I don't lead you, you won't be able to set foot in the territory of the Lord of the Land.

This is the rule, everyone must behave this way.

Not even if you are from the imperial court. "

Yu Ziqing took out a spiritual jade.

"That's all. It doesn't matter if you don't want me. You can't stand my fragrance."

The boatman glanced at the Lingyu and reluctantly accepted it.

"Okay, just use spiritual jade. It's better than nothing."

Yu Ziqing stepped onto the awning boat, and with the creaking sound of the oars, the boat slowly rowed towards the other side.

Yu Ziqing could clearly feel that when he was crossing the river, he felt as if he was walking through the river, feeling suffocated.

When we arrived at the shore, we suddenly heard the sound of people and felt the breath of many people.

But before, when he looked from a high altitude, there was no one here.

After landing on the shore, Yu Ziqing looked to the side. There was a temple standing on the shore not far away, where there was a lot of people and the sound of hawking.

It seemed like an extremely ordinary place, but in Yu Ziqing's dark eyes, what he saw was a completely different scene.

All of those people were as skinny as wood, with pale complexions. Some of them were holding a sesame cake and chewing it. They were actually holding a stick of incense and constantly inhaling the aroma.

In front of the temple, people kept entering and burning incense to worship.

The specious earthly aura is mixed with the aura of blood, evil aura, and resentment...

Yu Ziqing listened to the conversations of those people and knew that this was the River God Temple, and they were all worshiping the River God.

A vague sense of voyeurism appeared, and Yu Ziqing immediately closed his eyes.

Everything within sight has returned to normal, and the rosy-faced people seem to be visiting a temple fair and participating in a celebration.

Yu Ziqing did not go there, he walked all the way to the distance, where there was a town.

At the entrance of the town, a two-story archway was erected, which was written to Shaojia Town.

At night, people were coming and going on the streets of the town, just like during the day. Some were hawking and some were buying.

All the shops were open, with large white lanterns hanging in front of the doors. Coupled with the moonlight, it made the place look extremely strange.

As soon as Yu Ziqing entered the town, someone came up to ask.

"Does the guest need to stay in a hotel? There is only one inn in this town."

"Lead the way."

Yu Ziqing was led all the way to the center of the town, in front of an extremely well-built earth temple that occupies a large area.

"here?"

"It's right here. The inn is right behind the Earth Temple. But when you come to stay at the inn, you have to offer incense first. This is the rule."

After the visitor finished speaking, he saw that the bustling crowd on the street outside suddenly became quiet. Everyone turned their heads and looked at Yu Ziqing expressionlessly.

"Oh, okay, since it's local custom, let's go." Yu Ziqing smiled and stepped into the Tutu Temple.

In an instant, the street returned to a bustling and bustling scene.

Yu Ziqing's Yin God slowly opened his eyes. He saw that the temple was made of bones and human skin turned into a face.

The hanging white paper lanterns are skulls burning with soul fire and screaming pitifully.

In the temple, the golden Buddha statue is a ferocious old man. The tributes placed in front of him are flesh and blood, and the incense is also made of flesh and blood. You can still vaguely hear the screams when it burns.

Yu Ziqing sighed secretly, what he encountered when he first came in was that this scene was not like the human world.

The earth only transforms into evil spirits, and living people eat incense.

Even in the Anshi Book, we have never seen such earth-shaking changes.

I'm afraid things here are a bit difficult.

Yu Ziqing reached out and took out the incense in stock. After lighting it, he looked at the statue, held the incense in his hand, bowed slightly, and inserted it into the incense burner.

As smoke curled up, the old man with a ferocious face inhaled gently, and the incense burned rapidly, turning into two puffs of light smoke, which were inhaled into his body.

The next moment, they saw pale-faced people appearing outside the temple, holding weapons.

Others were sharpening knives outside, prepared wooden benches, and placed a wooden basin in front of the wooden benches.

Yu Ziqing knew that he was preparing to kill him and get fresh flesh and blood.

Suddenly, the face of the ferocious old man sitting on the altar suddenly changed. He stretched out his hand and pinched his neck. His face continued to darken. He struggled to stand up, but suddenly fell off the altar. down.

"The Lord of the Land is dead!"

An exclamation came, and the people outside dispersed in a hurry.

The old man who fell to the ground was holding his neck and struggling like a dying fish.

He was still hammering his chest with one hand, trying to spit out what he had just swallowed.
