Chapter 169: Flowers Bloom on the Other Side of the Forgotten River
Zhang Yan watched Yu'er easily get rid of these ungrateful people, and couldn't help but be very envious. He thought it was good to have strength, and it was so easy to get rid of these people, but the soul-eating beast on the side said: "We It’s better to leave quickly, this time the reincarnation ship is about to appear, if it’s too late and miss the reincarnation ship, it will be a serious problem.”
Zhou Qi also nodded when he heard this, "Then let's leave quickly and don't waste time here."
As Zhou Qi spoke, he took the lead and led Zhang Yan and the others towards the depths. This time, no one dared to come up and stop Zhang Yan and the others. After all, the strength of Zhang Yan and the others was displayed here. The strength of the previous group had already been Although they were very powerful, they were still easily eliminated by Zhang Yan and the others, so these people were still very afraid. Even though they really wanted to get the weapons in Zhang Yan's hands, no one dared to step forward, so they could only stay away from them. He watched Zhang Yan and the others leave.
Zhang Yan and others didn't go far when they saw many human warriors gathering in front of them. Zhang Yan asked strangely: "Why are so many people gathering here? Why is no one moving forward?"
Zhou Qi smiled and explained: "That's because we have reached the end. There is no road ahead. If you don't believe me, you can see it if you keep walking forward."
Hearing this, Zhang Yan quickly walked a few steps forward and climbed up a small slope in front. At this time, Zhang Yan understood Zhou Qi's words. He could not see the scene in front of him from Zhang Yan's position. Now, Zhang Yan understood what Zhou Qi said. Yan saw it clearly, and saw a very wide chasm in front of him. In the chasm, there was a blood-red river flowing endlessly. The surface of the river was very wide, about ten feet wide, which made it easy to see at a glance. It was almost impossible to see the other side. The current of the river was very fast, and many skeletons could be seen in the water from time to time. It seemed that the river was very dangerous.
There is a very strong fog on the other side of the river, making it difficult for people to see what it is. On the banks on both sides of the river, there are a large number of fiery red flowers that look like blood. These flowers are blooming so much. It is very brilliant, but strangely there is not a single leaf. The fragrance of the flowers is also very intoxicating and can be smelled from a long distance away. However, the fragrance still has an intoxicating and enchanting effect, which requires people to use spiritual power to resist it. It smells like flowers, but Zhang Yan doesn't need it, thinking that the fragrance of flowers has no effect on Zhang Yan at all.
Zhang Yan asked with some confusion: "Isn't this the legendary Flower of the Other Side?"
Zhou Qi said with a smile: "You are right, this is indeed the legendary Flower of the Other Bank, and it is also the only flower on Huangquan Road. This flower often blooms on both sides of the Wangchuan River. The Flower of the Other Bank blooms for a thousand years and falls for a thousand. The flowers and leaves never see each other in the year. When the flowers bloom, the leaves wither, and when the flowers fall, the leaves are pulled out. Therefore, there is a saying, the flowers on the other side bloom on the other side, only the flowers are seen, but no leaves."
"But your luck is better. You happened to encounter the time when the flowers of the other shore flower are blooming, so you can enjoy such a beautiful flower of the other shore flower. However, the floral fragrance of the other shore flower has a kind of magic power, which contains soul attack and can make people recall the past. , falling into an illusion, you must pay more attention, otherwise you will lose yourself."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "Of course we know this. Didn't we already see it in the fog when we arrived? But we didn't expect that we would reach our destination so quickly."
"You are wrong. We have not reached our destination. This is not the place we want to finally reach. The river you see in front of you is called the Wangchuan River. If we want to take the reincarnation boat, we need to cross the Wangchuan River. River and reach the sea of samsara on the other side, only then can we find the samsara ship."
Zhang Yan said with some confusion when he heard this: "Then why don't you just fly us over there? Why are there so many people crowding that stone bridge?"
Zhou Qi smiled and said: "The stone bridge you are talking about is the most famous Naihe Bridge on Huangquan Road. This bridge is three feet wide and leads to the other side of the Wangchuan River. It is the only place on the Wangchuan River to pass, except Outside of Naihe Bridge, no one can cross the Wangchuan River. The only way to cross the Wangchuan River is to walk across the Naihe Bridge."
"It's just that not everyone can pass this Naihe Bridge. As long as someone steps into the Naihe Bridge, they will be instantly attacked by a soul from the Naihe Bridge, and at the same time they will also be attacked by the blood from the water in the Forgotten River. Attacks with the power of evil will turn into soul attacks and act on the depths of the warrior's soul. As long as you keep your heart in the depths of your soul and are not deceived by these, nothing will happen. To put it bluntly, This is also a test for a warrior’s martial arts heart, but most warriors cannot withstand this test and will eventually fall off the Naihe Bridge and be swallowed by the water of the Forgotten River."
"The water of the Wangchuan River contains very powerful poison and corrosive power. As long as the fallen warriors do not come out alive, they will all turn into a pile of bones. In the end, even the bones will be destroyed bit by bit. Corrosion, those white bones you see in the river are just left by the warriors who just fell into the water, and it won’t be long before their bones will completely disappear.”
When Zhou Qizheng was talking, Zhang Yan heard a scream, and then he saw a warrior on the Naihe Bridge falling directly, as if he had been attacked by something, without any room for resistance. After entering the river, Zhang Yan saw that the person was instantly swallowed by the river. Within a moment, a pile of bones were left rolling in the river.
The fat man said with lingering fear: "Why are so many people waiting here? It turns out that they are not mentally prepared to cross the river."
"Of course, once you step on the Naihe Bridge, you can't look back. You can only succeed when you walk to the other side. So these people are adjusting their own state. After all, it is not the best state. These people dare not step on the Naihe Bridge. Bridge." Zhou Qi said.
At this time, Meng Yao discovered the people from the City Lord's Mansion in the crowd. These people were not far from Zhang Yan and the others. They must have arrived here not long ago. Meng Yao walked directly towards the Zhong family members in the City Lord's Mansion. Among them was Zhong Xu. Meng Yao came behind Zhong Xu. Before she could say hello, Zhong Xu had already sensed Meng Yao's aura in advance. He immediately turned his head to look at Zhong Xu and asked with a surprised look on his face: "Meng Yao? You?" Why are you here? Aren't you walking in the opposite direction?"
Meng Yao smiled and said, "Someone here wants to enter the land of reincarnation, so I came with him," Meng Yao said and straightened Zhang Yan's side.
Zhong Xu's eyes lit up when he saw Zhang Yan, and he immediately came over to say hello: "Brother Zhang Yan, why are you here too? What a coincidence."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "It turns out to be Brother Zhong Xu. Why did Meng Yao take the initiative to say hello? If you didn't say anything, I wouldn't even see you. It's really rude."
"If I had known that Brother Zhang Yan would come here, I would have brought you here so that we could take care of each other. But Brother Zhang Yan, you are here alone. What are you doing here? You are still so young and your talent is so good, do you need to go to the land of reincarnation?" Zhong Xu asked with some confusion.
Zhang Yan smiled and said: "I don't have to enter the land of reincarnation, but my friend is going to enter the land of reincarnation, so I followed him to take a look and see if I can be of any help."
"Help? What a joke. Of the many capable men and sages present, which one is not better than you in cultivation and strength? Why do you, a warrior with a small martial arts training, want to help? Do you really dare to do it to yourself? You have gold on your face," a young man standing next to Zhong Xu said with a disdainful snort.
This person is Yan Ye, the descendant of the Burning Sky Sect. This time, the Burning Sky Sect asked the Zhong family of the city lord of Fengdu City to help them bury an elder in the Land of Reincarnation, so they came here with the people of the Burning Sky Sect. , and Yan Ye maintained his high status, and the unknown boy from Qingyuan Sect in front of him did not meet him first. In addition, Zhang Yan once made a fool of himself in public, refused to give himself face, and refused Yan Ye was immediately very angry because of his own invitation, and then he sarcastically mocked Zhang Yan.
However, Zhang Yan did not get angry. After all, Yan Ye was a member of the Burning Sky Sect, and he could not conflict with him here. Who knew what big shots came from their Burning Sky Sect, but Zhang Yan could not just let it go. Frowning, he asked, "I'm sorry, do we know each other? Who are you? I'm talking to Brother Zhong Xu, what's the matter with you?"
"Who am I?" Yan Ye was very surprised when he heard this. His eyes were so wide that he almost fell out of his sockets. His whole body was trembling with anger and he said, "You kid doesn't even recognize me?"
"Who do you think you are? Do I have to know you?" Zhang Yan said with a snort.
"Boy, I think you are looking for death," Yan Ye snorted, and immediately started to take action as the spiritual energy in his palm exploded.
When Zhong Xu saw this, he immediately stopped between the two of them and said with a smile: "Brother Yan Ye, please give me some face. Brother Zhang Yan is also a friend of mine. As the saying goes, a friend's friend is one's friend. Since everyone We are all friends, why bother to take action?”
Hearing this, Yan Ye put away his palms, snorted and said: "I, Yan Ye, will never have such a low-class friend. He is just a little person from the Holy Land of Qingyuan Sect. I want anyone to be my follower. Today is for me." Zhong Xu is saving face. If I see you again next time, I will definitely not let you go." Yan Ye said, flicking his sleeves, turning around and returning to the Burning Sky Sect's team, ignoring him. Zhang Yan and Zhong Xu are together.
Seeing this, Zhong Xu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, looked at Zhang Yan and said, "How dare you say that? He is Yan Ye, the contemporary successor of Burning Sky Sect, and a well-known genius. How dare you contradict him face to face?"
Zhang Yan snorted when he heard this and said: "I know Yan Ye, the special envoy of the Burning Sky Sect, what's wrong with the genius? Can a genius ridicule others without hesitation? Can a genius not take anyone seriously? What a joke, he doesn't Is it just that he is a little older than me and has practiced for a longer time than me? If I were the same age as him, my cultivation would definitely be higher than his, so what is there to show off?"
After hearing this, Zhong Xu realized that Zhang Yan was deliberately pretending not to know Yan Ye, and then contradicted him in front of him. Zhong Xu couldn't help but admire Zhang Yan's courage, and said quietly: "I thought you really didn't know him. Well, it turns out you were just faking it, but you are so brave, you dare to provoke him here. You must know that there are many experts from the Burning Sky Sect over there, but you are good at fighting, this Yan Ye battle He is very arrogant thinking that he is the descendant of the Burning Sky Sect, and he doesn't take anyone seriously all day long. If they hadn't found out that the Burning Sky Sect was cooperating with us in Fengdu City, I would have competed with him long ago."
Zhang Yan smiled when he heard this and said: "It's precisely because I dare to antagonize him here. If I were outside, I really wouldn't dare to antagonize him. After all, he has a strong background. It's not like me who was just kicked out by the sect and chased him." Human, but I’m really not afraid of him here.”
Zhang Yan said to Zhong Xu: "This is my friend. Speaking of which, he has something to do with your Fengdu City."
When Zhong Xu saw Zhou Qi and Yu'er beside Zhang Yan, he couldn't help but asked with some confusion: "Oh? I wonder who these two seniors are?"
Zhou Qi snorted and said, "You don't need to know who I am, but we are indeed Zhang Yan's friends, and this time we got rid of him to help us find the reincarnation ship."
But Yu'er said: "Are you from the Zhong family in Fengdu City? I didn't expect that your Zhong family would still have a person like you who is quite pleasing to the eye. You must know that the people in your Zhong family have always been very good-looking. It’s ugly.”
Meng Yao said with a smile on the side: "This is Meng Yu'er, the ancestor of our Meng family. She is also the one I found in Baodu Mountain this time. However, our ancestor's lifespan is approaching. This time we are here to extend our ancestor's life."
Zhong Xu's eyes widened when he heard this, and he looked at Meng Yu'er in disbelief. He was a little stunned for a while. After a while, he recovered and immediately bowed and saluted: "It turns out that he is the ancestor of the Meng family. The junior Zhong Xu has met the senior. Your name is well known to us all in Fengdu City."
"It is said that you were the number one genius of the Meng family, and also the number one person in our Fengdu City. Your strength has reached the level of a god of war. However, it is said that you have died a long time ago, and you also lost the Meng family's ancestral sacred weapon. , I didn’t expect that not only did you not die, but you also appeared here, which is really unexpected for this junior. I also wish you a successful life extension. By then, the strength of our Fengdu City will be even higher."
