Ninety thousand miles of wind

When Zhou Zekai woke up, he found someone beside the bed.

"Zhou Zekai, the lord of Samsara City, entered the rivers and lakes for the first time three years ago, and became famous in the first battle. He was recruited by the Northwest Samsara City. He bears the title of the old city lord, the name 'One Spear Piercing Cloud'. He is good at swordsmanship and concealed weapons. His long sword is called Wildfire. Silly, unsociable, unmarried, and no chivalrous woman who can get close, seeing that the Red Luan star is still far away, it is a pity that she has a natural good looks..." The man read Zhou Zekai's information as if he was reading the account book, and then He leaned over and asked, "How, is there any new news, let me let my brother know."

Zhou Zekai blinked and sat up from the bed, noticing that the wounds on his body had been treated with immortal techniques, and he would be able to act as usual after about three to five days of rest.The person next to him was still tireless: "...I have no other hobbies, I just like to listen to the rumors of the world. You are welcome, Lord Zhou. If you really have a crush on a heroine, you might as well tell me about it. Maybe I will pay you back." Can help you achieve good things—”

Zhou Zekai scrutinized this person for a while, and suddenly it overlapped with a certain face in his memory: "Are you...'Ghost Lantern Firefly'?"

"City Lord Zhou has good eyesight." The man seemed a little surprised to be recognized, but he still bowed his hands, "My Li Xun is an assassin under the Void Seat. He used the nickname 'Ghost Lantern and Firefly' when he walked the rivers and lakes. I and City Lord Zhou, you should have met Huashan from afar last year, right?"

Zhou Zekai nodded—although Kongkong also participated in the Huashan Sword Trial last year, he did not meet Samsara head-on.The reason why he still remembered Li Xun was because the void rarely appeared in front of people, and everyone couldn't help but take a few extra glances.Li Xun seemed to have thought of this too, he laughed and said, "That's right, we really don't show our faces very much. It's not a bluff, there is still a reason..."

But before he could continue speaking, when the door opened, another person came in.This man is not tall, and even thinner. At first glance, he is easy to be overlooked; it is only after he takes a second look that he notices his calm and solemn demeanor.He glanced at Li Xun, and Li Xun immediately stopped laughing, stood up and said respectfully, "Seat Master Wu."

Zhou Zekai also got up at this time, bowing his hands in salute: "Thank you, Master Wu."

It turned out that this person was none other than Wu Yuce, known as the Void Twin Ghost.Void is different from his sect, it seems to be born invisibly, and there are two masters, Li Xuan who is known as "Devil May Cry at Fengshan" and Wu Yuce, "Ghost Carving".Although these people are well-known in Jianghu, they always come and go without a trace, and it seems that even the outer disciples can't see a few.Wu Yuce returned the gift, and said, "City Lord Zhou, you're being polite."

Thinking of the attack on Samsara, Zhou Zekai couldn't help asking, "Excuse me, where...?"

Wu Yuce frowned: "I know City Lord Zhou naturally wants to rush back to Samsara City as soon as possible, but unfortunately, we can't think about it for the time being."

Zhou Zekai was puzzled, but Wu Yuce sighed silently, and said, "City Master Zhou, please take a look." As he spoke, he drew back the curtain in front of the window—only to see blue clouds lingering in the boundless black space outside, Silver stardust swirls like an invisible long ribbon, and occasionally a flock of white bones can be seen flying past the window.Even Zhou Zekai, who was usually reticent, took a step back and said, "Is this—?"

"This is the place where time and space of yin and yang intersect. There is no beginning and no end, no past and no future." Wu Yuce said, "We have no other way to communicate with others except occasionally being entrusted by turbulent currents to appear in the Yang world."

Zhou Zekai looked back and forth between Wu Yuce and Li Xun, and then looked out of the window, to convince himself that this was not a dream.However, in this way, people in the void...?

"City Lord Zhou made a good guess," Li Xun continued, "We, Void, were originally residents of the Yin Realm. It's just that the world was in turmoil ten years ago, and our region was torn apart and involved in the turbulent flow of Yin and Yang. I haven't been back to the underworld, but now I look more like a human than a ghost."

If it were any other time, Zhou Zekai would only feel that these people coaxed him together.But at this time, the scenery in front of the window has turned into a dark blue desert, with endless undulating sand dunes; dots of white fire are floating in it, just like Zhongyuan's lanterns.He subconsciously touched the hilt of the sword at his waist, only to realize that the wildfire had broken off the cliff.

"I have to go back."

He almost realized that he was too impolite after he finished speaking, so he couldn't help but blush.And Wu Yuce stared at him for a moment, and said: "We have already thought that City Lord Zhou is unwilling to stay here for a long time. It is not impossible to break through the maze here; but City Lord Zhou will recover soon, please do it first Will raise, wait for the body to recover from the old view before discussing."

Hearing his tone, Zhou Zekai knew that there was really no rush, so he nodded.Li Xun seemed to want to say something, but was dragged away by Wu Yuce in the name of "not disturbing the guests' rest".

Zhou Zekai looked at the scenery outside for a while, and finally sat back on the bed, the exhaustion he hadn't noticed before was covered up for a while.He naturally knew that although the injury had been healed, after all, the Qi channels inside were still chaotic, and there was nothing left and right to do at this moment, so he embraced Yuan Shouyi and took care of the Qi channels.At the beginning, the Qi pulse was still stagnant, but Zhou Zekai's internal energy practice was originally good at healing, after practicing for a week, it became much smoother.He let the qi channel circulate for another four weeks before closing his power. He was about to check the current time, but when he opened his eyes, he saw a big-headed doll lying beside the door, with two thin line-like eyes that seemed to be sizing up the people in the room.

...Although she is wearing a child's clothes, she does not look like a human being no matter how you look at it.

Zhou Zekai stared back blankly on the surface, but cold sweat broke out behind his back.However, the big-headed doll still babbled a few times and grinned all the way to the ears.

……This is?

Zhou Zekai stood up and walked to the door in a few steps.The big-headed doll watched him walk in, and raised his head higher and higher—in the end, he lost his balance and sat down on the corridor with a thud.Zhou Zekai looked at it for a while, then knelt down to help it up, and even stroked its bald head.

The feel is actually pretty good.

Unexpectedly, the big-headed doll started babbling instead, swung her short legs and ran away.Zhou Zekai pushed open the door and looked out, only to find ghosts of various colors floating in a long corridor. Seeing him, a stranger, seemed to have been given a freeze spell, and then each of them went back to the corner of the room with their eyes wide open. (There are also three or four) looking at him.

"... Living people? How can there be living people?"

"It's actually a person from the Yang Realm...you must stay away if you have Yang Qi on your body..."

"Mom is so scary I want to go home woo woo woo—"

"This is a living person brought back by the two adults, don't be afraid!"

"A traitor like you who is not afraid of the sun is going to die!!!"

This is simply more lively than the vegetable market.Zhou Zekai walked up the corridor without looking sideways, only glancing at the colorful ghosts who forgot to hide their whereabouts as soon as they argued.The ghosts seemed to have been fooled by him, and began to discuss again:

"Well, you don't think he can see us—maybe he can't hear us either."

"Living people are very cunning, you were deceived by him!"

"...then you go try him?"

A group of ghosts debated for a long time, and finally a bold one ran up to Zhou Zekai and waved it.Zhou Zekai didn't even blink, the ghost looked left and right and finally came to a conclusion:

"He can't see it!"

"Oh oh oh!" All the ghosts cheered and immediately returned to their original state, chattering and discussing where this living person came from. Some said that he fell from the Yang Realm, but some insisted that he was "two ghosts". "My lord" bought them back to work as coolies; the latter few were refuted by the female ghosts, on the grounds that it was too wasteful for such a handsome young man to be used as coolies; those who were a little bolder didn't bother to argue, and followed behind Zhou Zekai Probe into the brain——Zhou Zekai intuited that there was a gust of wind behind him, and thought that these guys really didn't know how to restrain themselves.

At this time, a clear youthful voice sounded from the other end of the corridor: "Master Zhou, my children are causing you trouble."

As soon as these words came out, all the ghosts shrank back into the corner in an instant, and there were only countless shining eyes looking over - but they were quiet without even breathing.Zhou Zekai raised his head and saw a blue-blue youth with a long scythe on his back slowly walking towards him. All the ghosts saw the scythe on his back shrank even smaller—the youth seemed to know this well and intentionally Walking over slowly, Zhou Zekai almost heard the teeth chattering of the ghosts.

"On the lower cover, he is the number one ghost exorcist under the Void Seat." In the end, the young man walked up to him and clasped his fists in salute. I have recently left the underworld, no matter how difficult it is to make progress in cultivation, it really makes City Lord Zhou laugh."

Zhou Zekai shook his head, thought for a moment before saying, "...very cute."

"Mom, he really saw that we were cheated by living people——"

Ge Caijie turned his head and stared at a certain corner, and in an instant the corridor was so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling on the ground could be heard.

"City Lord Zhou, Li and Wu, please come to the atrium to discuss."

Zhou Zekai then followed Gai Caijie along the corridor.The ghosts around blinked and looked at them, with expressions of wanting to continue gossip but not daring to gossip—Zhou Zekai somewhat understood how Li Xun's gossip hobby came about.The two walked out of the corridor one after the other. Zhou Zekai looked around, only to realize that the place really looked like a floating island. The surrounding houses were made of neither wood nor stone, and they were connected by verandas. There was a large empty space in the middle, and a stone pillar stood tall. in the center - but it can be seen that it is broken from it.

Zhou Zekai was curious when he heard footsteps approaching behind him, and a voice asked:

"City Lord Zhou is curious about the origin of this thing?"

He turned his head, and saw Wu Yuce and another tall man whom he had just met standing side by side—presumably this was another seat lord of Void, Devil Weeping at the Mountain, Li Xuan.Zhou Zekai cupped his hands and saluted:

"Thank you, Master Li, for your rescue."

Li Xuan returned the gift, and said: "It is a natural principle for rescue and rescue among comrades in the rivers and lakes, and it is also natural for you to have such an encounter before your destiny."

These words were serious, Zhou Zekai was puzzled and just stared at the two of them.However, Li Xuan changed the subject again: "Let's talk about this stone pillar. City Lord Zhou, do you know that in the ancient times, Emperor Shaohao was the master of heaven and earth?"

Zhou Zekai has actually heard a thing or two—but in ancient times, people and gods were mixed together, and there were witches and priests in their families, while Gaoyang Emperor Zhuanxu cut down the ladder and destroyed the buildings. Become today's matter.Seeing him nodding, Li Xuan pointed to the towering stone pillar: "This stone pillar is the foundation of the wood that was built back then."

Zhou Zekai was taken aback, and Li Xuan said again: "Jianmu is just a name, and actually has its own image in the three realms. The ghost world is yin, so it appears as a stone pillar. It's just that after the ladder was destroyed, this stone pillar remained here , no longer useful. But somehow, when the world was in turmoil, we were held hostage here together with the remnants of the building.”

Zhou Zekai thought for a moment, and said, "I have something to ask." Although he was not good at words, he spoke intermittently about the Shadow Swordsman he and Ye Xiu had seen that day.

"According to what you saw, the Shadow Swordsman turned out to be a human, but turned into a ghost?" Li Xuan frowned after hearing this.

"should be."

Wu Yuce, who was silent for a long time, stepped in at this time: "This is a sign of excessive Yin Qi."

"Yin Qi?"

"The three worlds of heaven and man, the heaven is pure yang, the ghost world is Taiyin, and the balance of the two qi in the human world is the image of the two qi and Tai Chi..." Li Xuan pondered for a moment, "The world is in turmoil and strange beasts are rampant. The consequences of excessive qi, the current situation, is it even better after these ten years?"

Zhou Zekai asked, "Is this abnormal?"

At this moment, Gai Caijie took a step forward and said, "The art of exorcising ghosts I have learned is to disperse the yin energy gathered by ghosts and make them return to the lower realm with the yin energy. It stands to reason that in the past ten years, there have been different parties in Jianghu sects. There are many beasts to conquer, how to look at it should be due to the weakening of yin energy and the reduction of strange beasts, so how come there are more beasts?"

Li Xuan and Wu Yuce also looked solemn, and the two looked at each other, Li Xuan asked again: "City Lord Zhou, how much does it take to suppress alien beasts in Samsara City every year?"

"A radius of a hundred miles, about thirty or fifty."

Li Xuan shook his head: "This is too much. I mentioned this matter to the former city lord of Samsara City. At that time, the hunting in a year was only twenty or thirty... It can only be said that not only did the yin energy not dissipate, but it became more and more serious. Too much hair."

"Do you two know the reason?"

Wu Yuce shook his head: "Before, we were barely supported by the Void Realm, floating in this place where yin and yang time and space meet, but it was barely enough. It's just that in the past year, there have been more and more turbulent currents... It seems that I am not the only one who has a problem with the Void Realm."

"However, Yin and Yang are in balance in the human world, and the most important thing is the balance of the two qis. How can there be a unique reason for the abundance of yin qi and the lack of yang qi?" Li Xuan thought for a while, and then asked, "City Lord Zhou, have you heard that yang qi is too weak?" The misfortune caused by Sheng?"

Zhou Zekai shook his head: "No."

"...This is really..." Li Xuan sighed, "It stands to reason that we should go to the human world to investigate this matter, but this is not up to us to decide, it just depends on when Luan Liu entrusts us to this world... "

Zhou Zekai was silent for a moment, then asked: "I need to go back. Another way...?"

This time, the two people looked at each other, but they didn't veto it like before.Zhou Zekai saw the clue, took half a step forward, and said, "Please tell me."

Li Xuan hesitated for a moment before slowly opening his mouth: "There is a way. However, it is too dangerous..."

Zhou Zekai didn't speak, but his firm eyes seemed to say that the danger couldn't stop him at all.

Wu Yu took the words decisively, and said, "We can use the ruins of the heavenly ladder to practice spells and send you back to the human world. However, since City Lord Zhou is not a cultivator of immortals, he can only rely on his mind to fix his goal. If so, as long as If you are in a state of confusion, you will lose a thousand miles: if you are lucky, you are just a little far away from where you want to go; , At that time, no one can help you."

Zhou Zekai turned around to look at the stone pillar, and Li Xuan said again: "Master Zhou, this method is really too dangerous, I advise you to stay here for a while..." Unexpectedly, Zhou Zekai rarely intervened: "—how? Choose where to go?"

"For example, choosing a place is worse than choosing a person." Wu Yuce replied, "If City Lord Zhou has a sweetheart, or a very close friend, he can just focus on that person."

Zhou Zekai nodded without hesitation, bowed his hands and said, "Two lords, I'm sorry."

Li Xuan sighed and asked, "City Lord Zhou has made up his mind?"

Zhou Zekai nodded again.Li Xuan smiled: "——It seems that Yu Ce and I will inevitably sacrifice our lives to accompany the gentleman." Then, he stepped forward a few steps, and slowly pulled out the two-foot-and-a-half sword from his waist ——but saw that the knife was completely black, with only a white light flashing on the front line.Even though his saber was still half a zhang away from Zhou Zekai, Zhou Zekai still felt a chill, even though he never said much, he couldn't help but praise: "Good saber!"

"This machete is called 'Four Wheels of Heavenly Dance', and it was forged back and forth with the 'Red Lotus Heavenly Dancer' in Yu Ce's hand, but its nature is completely different—" Li Xuan said, making a knuckle, the blade flashed, and several The ice formation has already spread out.On the other side, Wu Yuce also silently pulled out his long saber—contrary to Silun Tianwu, the flames were lingering on it, and you could suddenly see the shadows of flames; , Along the side of Li Xuan's ice formation, lay a vertical and horizontal formation of nine grids.Zhou Zekai couldn't help taking a step back, seeing Li Xuan and Wu Yuce cooperating seamlessly, one forming the formation with a knife, the other carving a text with a knife, in an instant, the formation was drawn on the huge empty field.At this time, Gai Caijie took a few steps closer and said: "When the formation is mobilized, please invite City Lord Zhou to walk in, only thinking about the convenience of where you want to go, and absolutely not caring about him."

Zhou Zekai nodded, seeing Li Xuan laying down another layer of dark formations, and Wu Yuce's slaying flames were even more intense, with all kinds of lights and shadows flickering, and at a glance, it was impossible to know how much power of ghosts and gods had accumulated.

And at this moment, Ge Caijie finally couldn't bear it anymore, and asked, "City Lord Zhou,...do you really have a sweetheart?"

Zhou Zekai glanced at him, Ge Caijie's face flushed red, he still said: "Senior Li Xun is patrolling outside, but if he knows about this, he will definitely ask me for gossip, can City Lord Zhou reveal something?"

Zhou Zekai didn't speak for a while, but his face slowly turned red.Gai Caijie knew that this was indeed the case, and was about to ask again, when he heard Li Xun yell "Join the battle", he quickly signaled—but he couldn't care less about gossip.Zhou Zekai walked into the formation with a few steps, and saw a green light rising from the ground around him. When he looked up, he saw countless emerald green leaves spreading out, covering the sky and the sun for a while.His heart tightened, he closed his eyes, and only recited the name in his heart, he felt his feet empty, and he fell down as if he had lost his footing from a hundred feet above——

In the Void Realm, Li Xuan and Wu Yuce each drew their swords, and saw that the leaves on the shadows of Jianmu trees that had just been spawned scattered like phosphorous fire, and dots of emerald green flew over every corner of the Void Realm like fireflies.Li Xuan smiled wryly, and said, "This is a big gamble for us."

"I believe in Zhou Zekai." Wu Yuce said, his expression not changing at all.

"I believe..." Li Xuan slowly repeated these two words, "It's just that we didn't tell him that the time here is different from the flow of the world. He stayed here for three days, and it may have been three months over there."

"Telling him about this will only increase your worries." Wu Yuce raised his head and looked at the little green light, "If you lose your mind, it will only increase your worries. What's more...we don't know how long we can support here."

Li Xuan remained silent, paused for a moment, and then said: "The turbulence the day before yesterday, maybe it was just a coincidence—"

"Accidental turbulence, but it taught us to suddenly appear in the deep valley at the foot of reincarnation. It is good to save Zhou Zekai, but if it is a little later—" Wu Yuce said this, but also kept silent—their island is in time and space. It can still float in the intersection, but it has no power at all in the human world.At that time, if they hadn't fallen back into this yin-yang space-time boundary in an instant, I'm afraid they would also fall into the abyss.

"Anyway, there is a piece of ground under my feet, so I should always fall better." Li Xuan said deliberately and relaxed.Wu Yuce scoffed, and didn't mention him, only said: "If Zhou Zekai goes back this time, he can find out the reason for the excessive Yin Qi with his comrades in the world, maybe it can also solve our predicament."

"If that's the case... Yu Ce, when it comes to the balance of yin and yang in the world, you should know better than me; but how can there be too much yin energy for no reason, and the ten-year conquest will only make the situation worse What?" Li Xuan said, his face became more and more serious, "I'm afraid that someone is causing trouble."

"Someone—?" Wu Yuce suddenly thought of the suspect, "You are talking about—"

Before he could say a word, he heard the bells on the pavilion by the island rang like rain, one after another—this was exactly the warning signal that Li Xun had sent out in advance.As soon as the two of them grasped their weapons, they felt a violent vibration on the ground under their feet——and then looked up, and saw a huge skeleton appearing outside the barrier that isolated the void world, like a halberd. Buckled on the enchantment.Without saying a word, Li Xuan and Wu Yuce walked forward side by side with their swords drawn.Gai Cai quickly caught up with the sickle and said, "My lord, I'm going too!"

Normally, Li Xuan would not ask him to fight because he was too young; but this time, both he and Wu Yuce knew that the survival of the Void Realm might depend on this battle.He tightened the Taidao in his hand, and finally said two words: "—Be careful!"

Ge Caijie's eyes lit up, and he said, "Yes!"

Wu Yuce stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder, without saying anything, he jumped up the corridor and sprinted forward, the sword in his hand was ignited with red lotus flames, and he slashed down on the huge skeleton.Under him, the silver light of the saber formation immediately lit up, lifting Wu Yuce up a bit.
