Chapter 240 Entering the Forbidden Territory [Third update, 10,000 words updated, monthly vote requested]
Beiluo, an island in the middle of the lake.
It's late at night.
The bright moon hangs high in the sky.
On the second floor of the Baiyujing Pavilion, Lu Fan leaned against the Thousand Blade Chair, the fire was swaying gently, and the wine in the pot was boiling.
The firelight reflected on Lu Fan's clothes. In front of Lu Fan, there was a fire, and the flames were controlled within a small area.
A fat fish was inserted into a wooden stick and hung over the fire, roasting. Both sides were golden brown and oil was splattering.
The little Yinglong folded its wings, opened its mouth slightly, drooled, and stared at the fat fish, motionless.
Lu Fan supported his chin with one hand while controlling the heat and turning the wooden stick so that the fatty fish was heated evenly and the meat was neither fatty nor greasy.
On the lake.
The ripples were rippling, tearing the bright moon reflected in the water.
Ning Zhao walked across the lake and landed gracefully on the shore. The purple bamboo forest, blown by the wind, made a rustling sound that lingered around the island, like the sound of waves.
"Young Master..."
Under the moonlight, Ning Zhao couldn't help talking.
But I saw Lu Fan eating a grilled fish on the second floor of the pavilion.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Fan responded.
After saying that, he bit off a piece of golden roasted fish. Heat surged from the torn fish meat, and the fragrance spread out from it, as charming as if blending into the air.
Little Yinglong was so greedy that he wanted to snatch it, but he was afraid of being beaten to death, so he was very conflicted.
Lu Fan seemed not to notice Xiao Yinglong and was eating the grilled fish by himself.
Ning Zhao was speechless.
The young master is alone on the island, and seems to be living a very happy life.
However, Ning Zhao did not say anything. The young master was the lord of Baiyujing. Eating a grilled fish...what could she say? "Did Old Nie go to the forbidden area?"
Ning Zhao asked.
Lu Fan nodded slightly and tore off a piece of hot fish meat.
Little Yinglong swallowed his saliva.
"You want to go too?"
Lu Fan asked, as if he could see what Ning Zhao was thinking.
“Go if you want to, but you need to consolidate your cultivation first. You have just evolved attribute spiritual energy, so it won’t be too late to go after you have mastered this power. The more strength you have, the more guarantee you will have of survival.” Lu Fan sucked on his oily fingers and said lightly.
Ning Zhao felt that this style of painting was a bit weird and inconsistent.
Ning Zhao nodded solemnly after hearing this, then turned around and left the island in the middle of the lake.
After Ning Zhao left, nothing on the island changed, and Lu Fan was still eating fish.
After a long time, only the fish head and bones were left.
Lu Fan glanced at Xiao Yinglong and threw the fish bone to him.
Little Yinglong almost shed tears of grievance...
Look, is this something a human would do? After Lu Fan had eaten his fill, he held the bronze wine cup, shook the wine in the cup, took a sip, and looked at the lake.
Nie Zhangqing was almost ready to enter the forbidden area.
Behind the forbidden area is actually the top-level Chinese martial arts world.
As for what happened afterwards, Lu Fan did not investigate because he had already dealt with the origin of that plane and attracted the other party's attention.
Once it arrives, it may cause siege from many powerful beings.
Therefore, Lu Fan did not go to investigate.
The three forbidden areas were actually three portals, but Lu Fan had not investigated where the portals led to.
"Hmm... I have to be careful. Although Old Nie's strength has entered the Heavenly Lock, once he enters it, he will be encountered by a strong man of the level of Du Longyang from the Emperor City. He won't be able to escape..."
Lu Fan touched his chin.
There is even no need for an existence like Wu Dicheng's Du Longyang. As long as there is an existence above the Jindan realm, it is enough to suppress Old Nie.
After thinking for a while, Lu Fan raised his hand and clawed in the air.
Then, three drops of spiritual liquid gathered in his palm.
Spiritual consciousness surged in, and the spiritual fluid began to change shape. Soon, it turned into the appearance of three little Lu Fan.
Three little Lu Fans were jumping in Lu Fan's palm.
When they met each other, they actually started fighting. They were very naughty.
Lu Fan chuckled.
Raise your hand and wave.
The three little Lu Fan flew out, drew an arc in the void, and disappeared amidst the trembling lightning arc.
Lu Fan also leaned on the wheelchair, took out the spiritual pressure chessboard, set up the chessboard, and the lines in his eyes kept jumping.
…
Xiliang.
The moonlight is lonely.
The Overlord rode a black-maned horse and stood on the edge of a cliff.
Below is the forbidden area of Xiliang. After the Overlord learned of the existence of the forbidden area, he personally returned to Xiliang and sent a large army to garrison there to prevent any accidents.
"What is behind the forbidden area?"
The forbidden area that even the young master of Beiluo Lu treated with such seriousness made the Overlord extremely curious.
He had a strong urge to step into the forbidden area.
However, reason made him suppress the impulse in his heart.
Xu Chu was also riding a horse, beside the Overlord.
"Your Majesty, is it really okay for you to leave the Imperial City and return to Xiliang?"
Xu Chu asked.
"No problem, with Mingsang in the Imperial Capital...she can handle many things."
Overlord said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Xu Chu frowned and hesitated to speak. However, after thinking about it, he did not say anything and sighed.
"Just say whatever you want to say...don't hesitate."
The Overlord glanced at Xu Chu and said.
Xu Chu smiled and waved his hand. Some things are better left unsaid.
"Today, a secret report came back that Nie Zhangqing had left Beiluo and was heading to Nanjun. Is he planning to break into the forbidden area of Nanjun?"
Overlord asked.
Xu Chu nodded: "Now, we should start preparing to enter the forbidden area. We will set off at dawn."
"Nie Zhangqing has already entered the Heavenly Locking Realm, but why did he choose to enter the forbidden area? I thought about it for a long time before I realized that Nie Zhangqing lacked pressure. He needed pressure to force him to move forward, so he chose to enter the forbidden area."
The way of the overlord.
The Overlord looked at the forbidden area, with flames surging in his eyes...
The forbidden area, he, the Overlord, is also very curious.
Suddenly.
Someone was riding a horse towards us in the distance.
He is a commander of the Xiang family army who guards the forbidden area.
"Report, Your Majesty, there is a bald man coming from Liangzhou City, and he wants to enter the forbidden area."
Leading the way.
Ba Wang and Xu Chu were stunned and looked at each other, seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.
Afterwards, the two men rode their horses towards the forbidden area.
Soon, Overlord saw the bald man.
When he saw this person, Overlord couldn't help but frown, because he inexplicably had a familiar feeling.
Just like that day when the Buddhist monks attacked Xiliang.
Ding Jiudeng clasped his hands together and stood quietly there.
The Overlord rode over on horseback, his sharp eyes flashing as he looked at Ding Jiudeng.
"You want to enter the forbidden area?"
Overlord asked.
Ding Jiudeng was a little nervous. After all, the person he met was the King of Xiliang, the overlord of Xiliang, a well-deserved strong man.
When he was a pawnshop clerk, he heard people talk about Overlord's deeds every day.
But now, he saw the Overlord with his own eyes, and he felt inexplicably nervous.
However, after Overlord asked him a question, Ding Jiudeng became distracted. After a while, his original nervousness almost disappeared, and he even felt a little bored.
"Exactly."
Ding Jiudeng leaned forward gently and answered calmly.
Overlord and Xu Chu were a little surprised.
You know, the Overlords are now extremely powerful, and this bald guy didn't feel nervous at all when he met them.
This person... is very stable! "Have you and I met before?"
Overlord stared at Ding Jiudeng and said.
The air was somewhat quiet. After about two or three breaths, Ding Jiudeng calmly replied, "No."
The Overlord couldn't help but frown. Haven't you seen it before?
"Buddha?"
The Overlord raised his chin and asked.
After a moment's hesitation, Ding Jiudeng nodded: "That's right."
Overlord couldn't help but reveal a look of disgust. It was indeed Buddha. The Buddhist monk on the battlefield in West County was Buddha...
It seems that this person has inherited the Taoist tradition left by the Buddhist monk.
"What are you doing here? If you can't tell me the reason, I will kill you without mercy."
The Overlord said coldly.
Xu Chu's face also looked grim. In that battle, the Xiliang army confronted the Buddhist army, resulting in heavy casualties.
Therefore, Xu Chu did not have any good feelings towards Buddhist monks.
Ding Jiudeng was very calm. After almost half an hour, he put his palms together.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"I heard that the king is recruiting practitioners to break into the forbidden area. Those who return alive will receive 30,000 taels of silver..."
"So, I am here."
Ding Jiudeng, Tao.
The Overlord showed no emotion when he heard this.
Xu Chu sneered, "What a greedy bald donkey."
"You are still very confident. Do you really think you can return from the forbidden area? Aren't you afraid of death?"
Xu Chu said.
"Amitabha, I am afraid of death, but my temple is in a dilapidated state and needs to be repaired. Repairs will cost money. There are dozens of young monks in my temple, and they all want to eat..."
"I don't steal or rob. I just heard that the king was recruiting, so I came here specially... I just hope to get out of the forbidden area alive and earn some money for the little monks to live on."
Ding Jiudeng was silent for a long time, then he put his palms together and said.
The Overlord was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Ding Jiudeng's purpose of breaking into the forbidden area was this.
During this time, the Overlord has offered rewards to many desperate criminals to enter the forbidden area.
There are practitioners who have just entered the Qidan stage and those who have reached the seventh or eighth stage of Qidan, but all of them have made progress but have no way back.
"How is your cultivation?"
Xu Chu asked.
After a while, Ding Jiudeng looked calm and chanted Buddhist scriptures. Behind him, a golden Buddha statue suddenly appeared. Its powerful aura suppressed Xu Chu so much that he retreated two or three steps.
"When I first entered the body..."
The Overlord looked at Ding Jiudeng in surprise. He didn't expect that there was actually a person in the Ti Zang realm hidden in his Xiliang.
Unfortunately, he is a bald donkey.
He, the overlord, has no good feelings towards the bald donkey.
"Go ahead if you want to, but remember, if you want the bounty, you must return alive, and you must provide the token in the forbidden land as proof."
"If there is no token, there will be no reward."
The way of the overlord.
"Amitabha, thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
Ding Jiudeng bowed.
Then, he turned and walked towards the forbidden area in the distance.
Xu Chu waved at the guards in the distance.
The guards gave Ding Jiudeng a square. Ding Jiudeng kept his palms together and went deeper until he came to the translucent air wall.
After staring at the air wall for a while, when I came back to my senses, the fear in my heart had disappeared a lot.
Ding Jiudeng put his palms together and chanted the Buddha's name.
The little faces in Yongcheng Temple appeared before my eyes.
Ding Jiudeng smiled, took a step forward and stepped into the air wall.
Looking at Ding Jiudeng who disappeared into the wall of air.
The Overlord stared.
"Send someone to check on this man. If it's true as he said, then take good care of the little monks. If he can come back, fine. If he can't... then incorporate those little monks into the army."
The way of the overlord.
Xu Chu's expression froze when he heard this, "Yes."
Just as the Overlord turned around and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, there was a flash of light.
The Overlord's eyes focused and instantly caught the streak of light, only to see the streak of light rush into the air wall and disappear in an instant.
The Overlord was somewhat stunned.
Because, vaguely...
He seemed to see a miniature version of...
Lu Pingan? ...
When the dawn light tore through the thick leaden clouds.
The forbidden area of Nanjun.
One figure after another stood quietly.
In front of the air wall of the forbidden area, a figure was sitting cross-legged, with a faint and powerful aura lingering around his body.
Nie Zhangqing opened his eyes, and there seemed to be a flash of golden light in his eyes. That was the power of spiritual consciousness.
The whole person's state has been mobilized to the extreme.
far away.
Tang Yimo and the others who were sitting cross-legged bored all looked over.
There is no spiritual energy in the forbidden area, and they cannot practice, so they are mostly killing time.
However, Nie Zhangqing stood up and placed one hand on the Dragon Slayer at his waist.
Everyone's heart trembled, they understood that Nie Zhangqing was preparing to enter the forbidden area.
"Brother Nie, take care."
"Xiao Nie, you must live."
Tang Yimo, Xie Yunling and others all bowed to Nie Zhangqing.
Nie Zhangqing returned the greetings one by one with a gentle smile on his face.
After that...
He turned around, the smile on his face faded, and he looked solemn.
Looking at the blurry wall of air, Nie Zhangqing felt heavy-hearted.
What is behind the forbidden area? Is it an underground palace like the secret realm of Wolongling?
Or is it a small world like Longmen?
Nie Zhangqing didn't know.
However, he was fearless. Since he wanted to become stronger and become strong enough to provide a support for Nie Shuang and Ru'er, he had no regrets.
"I hope... you can give me some pressure and not... let me down."
Nie Zhangqing said.
The words fell.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Nie Zhangqing took a step forward, a sword slung over his shoulder, his white robe fluttering, and stepped gracefully into the air wall.
The figure fluctuated and drifted into it.
After Nie Zhangqing stepped in, everyone's heart tightened.
Nie Zhangqing is the first person in the world to reach the Heavenly Locking Realm. He can be regarded as the number one person under the Young Master Lu of Beiluo.
His entry into the forbidden area, to some extent, represents the exploration of the forbidden area by the strongest combat force.
Tang Yimo clenched his fists.
He looked at Nie Zhangqing's back as he disappeared into the forbidden area and slowly let out a breath.
He was a little confused. He wanted to become stronger, but there were too many distractions, which made him lose the courage to move forward.
He may need to make some changes, otherwise...his path to becoming stronger will become very difficult.
Suddenly.
A flash of light flashed by.
Everyone just felt a flash before their eyes, and something penetrated into the air wall.
Li Sansui, Xie Yunling and others frowned, as if they had caught something vaguely, but the speed was too fast and they couldn't see clearly.
Therefore, no one took it seriously.
Nie Zhangqing entered the forbidden area.
However, the crowd did not choose to leave.
Many people sat cross-legged on the ground, waiting for the results.
Although Nie Zhangqing agreed with them that the deadline would be ten days, if he was unable to come out of it after ten days, it would mean that he had encountered a major crisis.
If you fail to get out of it within a month, you may die.
However, many people still have some expectations.
People are always curious about the unknown.
