The first taboo in the world

Chapter 440 Qili Cave in Southern Xinjiang

China is a vast land, and its extreme south is the southern border.

The mountains and rivers here are dangerous, there are many ferocious beasts and poisonous insects, there are many miasma and poisonous fogs, and there are also many barbarians and barbarians. The land is barren and cannot be cultivated. Therefore, since ancient times, the people of the Central Plains have called it the bad land of the southern frontier, which is inaccessible to people.

However, today, at this moment, as a silver light flashed across the sky, amidst the howling wind, a man in black came here.

After several days of non-stop work day and night, Xu Zifan finally arrived at the southern border of this world.

Above the sky, the moon hangs high, the clouds are thick, and although the stars are a little sparse, the clear light of the moon shines on the world like water waves, illuminating the earth quite brightly.

At this moment, Xu Zifan was standing on a solitary peak of 100 feet, looking south. The cool night wind blew his long clothes, and the moonlight drew a long shadow behind him, and the shadow merged with the solitary peak. , as if Xu Zifan at this moment merged with the solitary peak at his feet. Under the vast night sky, a peerless style radiated from his body.

At this moment, Xu Zifan stared ahead, only to see the dark night and black shadows in the distance. Because the distance was too far, he could not see clearly, but he knew that ahead was the legendary Hundred Thousand Mountains, and under the Hundred Thousand Mountains, there was the Incense Valley. , and Qilidong, the primary destination of his trip.

Not only are the customs of the various ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang different from those of the people in the Central Plains, but also the methods of cultivation are completely different. The people here do not know anything about cultivation, but they have all kinds of weird witchcraft and methods, which are unimaginable. It is mysterious, but it is not at all under the Central Plains cultivation method.

When Xu Zifan came to southern Xinjiang this time, it was for this so-called weird witchcraft.

In this world, there are countless methods of cultivation, but only the Heavenly Book and the witchcraft here are the most mysterious and extraordinary.

Needless to say, the mysteries of the Book of Heaven are unfathomable. The Qingyun Gate, Tianyin Temple, and the cultivation methods of the Demon Sect, which represent the three sects of Taoism, Buddhism, and Demon in the Central Plains, are all related to it.

As for Southern Xinjiang witchcraft, Xu Zifan knows from the original plot that its true power is not at all inferior to that of the Central Plains Taoism. In some aspects, it is even better. For example, Southern Xinjiang witchcraft can actually bring people back to life, although there are limitations. There are quite a few, but the mystery of their techniques is also shocking.

Therefore, no matter which aspect you consider, now that you have come to this world, Xu Zifan cannot miss the witchcraft of southern Xinjiang.

So that was one of the reasons why he decided to come here from the beginning.

There are five volumes of the Book of Heaven, and they are located in different places in the world. If you search for them, you will have to waste a lot of effort. As for the witchcraft of Southern Xinjiang, Xu Zifan knew through the original plot that there is a relic behind the statue of the Dog God in Qilidong in Southern Xinjiang, so it is not difficult to obtain it. Da, of course he would not miss such a good thing.

"brush!"

Xu Zifan's figure moved again, his whole body was surrounded by silver divine light, and his physical body moved forward across the void. Although the location of Qilidong was somewhat hidden, he had spiritual consciousness and refined his soul. At this time, with him as the center, a radius of three thousand meters was covered. Everything inside is reflected in his heart. This ability is the best at searching. Finding a place is not difficult for him.

Moreover, Xu Zifan's speed was unparalleled and rare in the world. After searching for more than an hour, by dawn, he had already found the location of Qilidong.

Accompanied by a rooster's crow, the warm morning light dispelled the last ray of darkness between heaven and earth and illuminated the earth. Qilidong, surrounded by mountains, appeared before Xu Zifan's eyes like a paradise.

This is a fertile, flat and open valley, surrounded by mountains, with only a narrow mountain road leading to the outside world.

In the gradually thinning morning mist, you can see houses with strong Miao flavor and completely different from the Central Plains characteristics standing in the valley. They are either built against the mountains or closely connected. Although they do not look very neat, they are Full of life.

It was early in the morning, with smoke rising from cooking pots, barking dogs and roosters crowing one after another. Miao people who got up early appeared on the road in the valley. Judging from their clothes, they were preparing to go hunting in the mountains.

In the valley, the most conspicuous thing is a clear stream, which originates from the deep mountains and winds all the way through this valley that looks like a paradise. There are also many Miao houses built on both sides of the stream. At this time Some Miao girls had already gotten up and were fetching water from the river, presumably preparing to boil water for cooking.

Generally speaking, this small valley is far less prosperous than Middle-earth. It is a bit rough, but it also reveals simplicity and harmony.

At this moment, Xu Zifan stood on a peak in the distance, looking at this simple Miao settlement. Qili Cave in the original plot was here.

This was the destination of his trip, or to be precise, behind the statue of the Dog God in the altar on the mountainside behind Qilidong.

According to the original plot, the person guarding the altar at this time is a famous wizard among the five tribes in Southern Xinjiang. His witchcraft power is profound and unfathomable, and he is considered the number one master among the five tribes in Southern Xinjiang.

Xu Zifan didn't care about this. Although this great wizard had profound witchcraft power and was proficient in spiritualism, his combat power was at most equivalent to a master of about the third level of the Qing Dynasty, which posed no threat to him.

If he wants to force his way into the altar here, I believe no one here can stop him. Even if everyone in Qilidong takes action, it will be useless.

However, the altar here is a holy place in the eyes of the Miao people here, and the dog god statue inside the altar is the belief of the Miao people.

The Miao people here believe that the dog god gave them new life and protected the race from multiplying to this day. Therefore, even the priest in charge of the altar did not dare to approach the statue easily, let alone an outsider like him.

If he goes there openly, he will definitely be rejected, and even cause all the Miao people here to hate him. And since he is determined to obtain the secret method of the ancient witch clan, the two sides will inevitably fall out, and there will inevitably be a fight and killing.

Although with his strength at this time, it would be easy to kill everyone here, but if he were to pick up the butcher's knife and slaughter this simple Miao people's settlement, he would not be able to do it. Although he is not a good person , but he is definitely not a demon.

After thinking for a while, Xu Zifan had an idea, but he had to endure it for one more day and take action at night.

At that moment, Xu Zifan found a secret place in the nearby mountains to study the techniques and master the heavenly books in order to make further progress in his Taoism.

Time flies like running water, a day flies by in a blink of an eye, the Golden Crow sets in the west, night falls, many Miao people return to their homes, and the entire valley gradually becomes quiet, until midnight, the night is like water, the entire Qili Cave It was even more silent, with only a few guards sticking to their posts, guarding several important places.

And all of this, Xu Zifan naturally saw clearly through his spiritual consciousness.

"Act now!"

At this moment, Xu Zifan's whole body was surrounded by a faint silver glow, and he passed through the void like a wisp of silver smoke crossing several mountains and reaching the entrance of the altar on the mountainside behind Qilidong.

There are seven guards guarding here, never leaving. One of the guards is wearing a long dark coat, his eyes are shining, but he is a priest with witchcraft.

But at this moment, suddenly a burst of light smoke drifted past, and everyone felt a flash of silver light in front of their eyes, as if the moonlight from the sky was falling on the earth. They were in a trance involuntarily, and then woke up, but they had forgotten what they had just seen, as if Nothing happened.

And behind them, Xu Zifan walked out of thin air, silently, with a faint silver glow all over his body, and a clear glow between his eyebrows, as if a god was walking in the world, so sacred that he did not cause any ripples, even in the places he passed, Not even the air moved at all.

The physical body can communicate with the spirit and break away from the mortal body, so it can do extraordinary things.

And Xu Zifan has condensed soul, and his mental power is extremely powerful. He has all kinds of supernatural abilities, and it is easy to use it to confuse some ordinary creatures from the soul.

When he got here, Xu Zifan did not stop and walked straight into the dark cave passage in front of him.

There is still some distance from here to the altar, and you need to cross the passage in front of you to reach it.

This section of the passage is not a straight cave, but rather winding. There is a corner at a certain distance, and on the stone wall of each corner there is a torch, burning quietly, illuminating the surrounding passages slightly brightly. And every time they go to such a place, there are two sacrificial guards with witchcraft. However, in Xu Zifan's perception, these sacrificial people's breathing is slow and steady, but most of them are asleep, even if there are a few who are not asleep. The one who was sleeping was also yawning again and again, feeling drowsy.

In this regard, Xu Zifan didn't mind helping them. A bright light surged between his eyebrows, and the power of the soul left the body and spread to the entire passage silently.

And then, those few yawned again and again, and the drowsy priests finally closed their eyes and fell into a deep sleep. Even at this moment, there was a slight smile on their faces, which was because they met some people in their dreams. wonderful things.

At this time, Xu Zifan, whose soul was sitting in the Purple Mansion, had supernatural powers, and naturally had some methods that seemed very incredible in the past, such as dreaming, ecstasy, etc. Although the restrictions were quite large, they were used to confuse some people whose mental power was far weaker than His people are always in trouble.

Next, Xu Zifan stepped out of thin air, surrounded by a faint silver glow, as if he were a god transcending this world, flashing through the dark cave passage.

At the end of the passage is a relatively spacious stone chamber. Although the stone chamber is a bit dark, there is also a blazing fire inside, which illuminates the entire stone chamber in uncertain light and darkness.

There was silence in the stone room, only the crackling sound of burning firewood could be heard from time to time. Under Xu Zifan's consciousness, everything here had already been clearly reflected in his mind.

The huge stone chamber was empty, and there was an old and stooped figure in the innermost part. He was sitting next to a burning fire, as if he was meditating, motionless.

Xu Zifan knew that this old man was the most terrifying wizard among the five tribes in southern Xinjiang. He was also the old wizard who used spiritualism on Baguio in the original plot.

At this moment, the great wizard sat quietly next to the fire. The fire was burning, illuminating his figure in and out. At the same time, through the blazing fire, you could also see that beside the fire, there was a strange stone statue carved from a huge stone. , the stone statue has a dog-like head, a full body, and sharp claws at its feet. The strangest thing is that there are two pairs of wings on its back. It looks weird and terrifying. Xu Zifan knows that this is what the Miao people here know. The dog god whom one believes in.

And what he came here to seek was exactly behind this statue of the dog god.
