Chapter 99
Chapter 99: Like Clusters
Ye Fan is not so worried, the mysterious green copper block is silent in his sea of misery, no one knows about it so far, and no one will come to trouble him for this.
"Maybe Zhongzhou will cooperate with Donghuang. After all, both sides have lost treasures in the graves under the deep pool."
"It is said that the barren pagoda can kill immortals, and if it is born, it is enough to hold the tomb of the demon emperor."
"The barren pagoda is in the tomb of the demon emperor. If you say this, if there is no solution, there will be no way to break the tomb."
"What exactly is the treasure of Zhongzhou, how could it be lost in our East Wasteland?"
"Zhongzhou is ancient and mysterious. It is said that their treasures coexist with the world, which is not something that people of our level can know."
"It seems that what was lost in the Eastern Wilderness is just a fragment, and almost no one knows what it is."
Several monks discussed while eating, so Ye Fan got a lot of useful information.
"For more than two years, the ruins can be described as a sea of corpses and blood. I really don't know when there will be a result, and I don't know how many people will die. Now that I think about it, it's still free for us loose cultivators. Otherwise, if we are in a big Among the sects, maybe they will be dispatched there, as long as they approach the deep pool, they will inevitably die."
"The factions seem to have listened to the advice of a big man to sacrifice blood with endless lives to forcibly open the deep pool. I have a hunch that if the barren pagoda is not taken out, the East Wasteland will never be peaceful, where it is destined to be Become a blood-stained devil land. The demon emperor is too terrifying, I am afraid that this result was expected back then, which is really a disaster."
"Yeah, many holy places and ancient families are determined to win the barren pagoda, and it is impossible to give up hastily."
Ye Fan felt very relaxed. After he took the green copper from Zhongzhou, he had no idea about the barren pagoda at all. It was not something he could get. The mysterious green copper block was enough. What he has to consider now is how to enter the ancient forbidden land, he will never participate in the treasure hunt, and how far to hide.
Just as he was about to leave, Ye Fan heard an important message, and he sat down again without making a sound.
"There are several important people in the Holy Land and the ancient family who are dying, and it is said that they want to attack the ancient forbidden land."
"Impossible, there are still people who dare to break in? Since ancient times, there have been countless people who have explored, but there have been no accidents, and they are almost completely destroyed. Back then, a certain fairy sect holy place when they reached the most prosperous period in history, they poured all their strength into it. When they came out and gathered tens of thousands of powerful cultivators to kill them, isn't it just ashes, it's like a living purgatory..."
"The holy place that was destroyed in ashes, the reason why they perished was because they were too conceited, and wanted to attack the abyss and hit the deepest part. This time, some holy places and ancient families were also forced to do nothing. Some of their big names were dying, and they wanted to Collecting the magic medicine on the nine holy mountains to save lives, I don’t want to enter the abyss.”
"I guess everyone who goes in will be wiped out. That restricted area of life is definitely more terrifying than the tomb of the Demon Emperor!"
"It's not necessarily true. Since ancient times, some people have successfully collected holy medicines. Of course, what kind of price they paid is unknown. Those holy places and ancient families have a profound background. Since they intend to collect medicines, they will definitely be comprehensive. There is still a great chance of success.”
"This is also a major event that shakes the East Wasteland. The Ancient Forbidden Land is one of the seven forbidden areas of life in the East Wasteland. After endless years, someone has finally set out there again."
"When will those holy places and ancient families leave? Why don't we join in the fun? They climbed the nine holy mountains and collected holy medicines. We only picked some ordinary spiritual medicines from the periphery, and it would not be a big problem."
"It may take a while, and now is the most dangerous period of the ancient forbidden land..."
In the end, Ye Fan left the town, recalling the words of those loose cultivators in his mind, and he felt that it was necessary to think about it seriously.
"The restricted area of life is far more dangerous than I thought. Most of the reason that I survived was because of the existence of nine dragon corpses and a giant bronze coffin."
Ye Fan did not fly, but walked all the way, passing Yandu on the way. This city is very majestic and covers an extremely wide area.
Yandu is very prosperous. Looking at the bustling people on the street, Ye Fan has a lot of feelings. For two years, he has been practicing alone in the mountains. The contrast between the silence and the hustle and bustle in front of him is completely two extremes.
Facing mountains, cliffs, and streams every day, suddenly returning to such a bustling capital city with a lot of people made him feel very cordial.
"Golden candied dates, big and sweet."
"Crispy chicken wings, it's not delicious and doesn't cost money."
"Zhang's soup dumplings are thin and juicy. Come and taste them."
"Bingtanghulu, only one copper coin for a bunch."
All kinds of calls for buying and selling are endless. There are all kinds of jugglers around the corner of the street, and many adults and children gather around. In front of each store, there are enthusiastic guys soliciting customers, and they can say a lot of good words.
"Cultivation is too pure and hard, and the world is so charming..." Ye Fan couldn't help but sigh. He felt that all of this was very vivid and cordial. Compared with the hard practice, this simple life made him yearn very much.
However, he cannot shake the foundation of his practice, because he wants to go home, to the place where he was born and raised.
It has been three years since Ye Fan came to this world. Now that his penance is over and he has returned to the world, he has a lot of thoughts and inevitably thinks of everything in his hometown.
"Time flies, it's been three years, I don't know what happened to the other classmates..." Ye Fan first thought of Pang Bo and was very worried about him, then he thought of Liu Yiyi, Zhang Ziling, Lin Jia, Wang Ziwen, Zhou Yi and others.
"Perhaps, before entering the ancient forbidden land, I should go see my former classmates." He wanted to see Liu Yiyi and Zhang Ziling. After three years of separation, he wanted to know how they are now.
"Big brother... I'm hungry, buy me a bun to eat, please, I'm very hungry." At this moment, Ye Fan found a dirty, pitiful little girl blinking her eyes. Looking up at him, her clothes were tattered, her face was full of stains, and only her eyes were clear.
Ye Fan was the worst at seeing this kind of situation. Every time he encountered it, he would feel bitter. He bought a few steaming soup dumplings from the steamed bun shop next to him, wrapped them in oil paper, and handed them to the poor little girl. She took out all the coins on her body and stuffed it into her arms while passersby were not paying attention.
Until he had disappeared into the street, the little girl was still in a trance.
Ye Fan strode out of the city and found that it was the closest to Yuding Cave, only more than 400 miles away. He remembered that Liu Yiyi had become a disciple of the sect, and decided to go there to have a look first.
The Yan Kingdom is 2,000 miles long from north to south and 3,000 miles from east to west. The ancient forbidden area is located in the middle of the country, surrounded by endless mountains. The six sects of Lingxu Dongtian and Yuding Dongtian are all around the outside of this primitive area.
Yudingdongtian is surrounded by a mountain of immortals, surrounded by clouds and mists, and it looks very misty from a distance, like a pure land outside the world.
Ye Fan came to the front of the mountain gate and felt the breath of nature and peace. Here, the peaks are green, the valleys are green, the flowing springs and waterfalls, the vegetation is prosperous, and the birds and animals are psychic, just like the world in the painting.
In front of the Tianshan Gate of Yuding Cave, there is a strange beast guarding it. Its body is like a bullock, its head is like a unicorn, and its body is eight or nine meters long.
"Who are you, what's the matter with me in Yudingdongtian?" At this moment, the disciple guarding the mountain gate also discovered him.
"I came to Yudingdongtian to visit friends." After Ye Fan said Liu Yiyi's name, the disciple guarding the mountain gate relaxed a lot and said, "Wait a minute, I'll let someone inform you."
Half an hour later, Liu Yiyi did not appear, but a young man with white temples came. After seeing Ye Fan, he immediately shouted, "Ye Fan, it's really you!"
Ye Fan was stunned for a moment, then showed a happy expression, and said, "So you are also practicing in Yudingdongtian."
The person who came was Zhang Wenchang, a former classmate. No matter when he was in school or after graduation, he was always ordinary and ordinary. He was dull by nature and did not like to talk much. If many people got together, it would be easy for people to forget his existence.
Ye Fan stepped forward, punched him with a smile, and said, "You have regained your youth, congratulations!"
Zhang Wenchang showed a wry smile and said, "It's just that my skin is no longer wrinkled. Look, my temples are still like frost."
"It's much better than when you parted. At that time, you were old-fashioned, and now you look like a young man with gray hair that took root early."
"I'm so envious of you, I have experienced my boyhood again." Zhang Wenchang, who was naturally dull, also learned to joke.
The two looked at each other and laughed, and they were genuinely happy when they saw each other.
At the beginning, the six Dongtian Blessings each chose two people, and divided Pang Bo's team equally, only Ye Fan was an exception.
Zhang Wenchang and Liu Yiyi were chosen by Yuding Cave and have been practicing here for three years.
"Yiyi is the heart and soul of the elders in the sect, with great potential, and has now been closed. It is said that it is very likely that he will be promoted to the realm of life spring within half a year or a year. This cultivation speed is very terrifying."
"You're not too bad, you look good."
"I can't compare with Yiyi. In the door, I can only be regarded as the middle and lower level. My appearance can be restored to this way because Yiyi asked for a supreme elder."
Zhang Wenchang led Ye Fan into the Jade Cauldron Cave, which was very magnificent. The verdant immortal mountains were like green jade, dotted with brilliance, mist lingered, and waterfalls fell down.
On many misty mountain peaks, you can vaguely see some palaces and terraces, which are very ethereal and have the charm of fairyland.
The most surprising thing is that there is a snow-white mountain in the middle of the mountains.
"It's been three years since we were separated, and today we must get drunk." Zhang Wenchang looked very excited and happy.
"Do your cultivators have wine and meat?" When Ye Fan was in Lingxu Cave, he and Pang Bo were vegetarians every day, and those days were a torment.
"Don't worry, there is wine and meat, and now I have officially embarked on the path of cultivation, I don't need to be a vegetarian and cultivate my heart like a new disciple."
Yuding Cave is very vast. After passing through several mountains, Zhang Wenchang took Ye Fan to a peach blossom forest. There are many taverns next to it, which looks very poetic.
"Cultivators are also human, and they also need to relax." Zhang Wenchang explained with a smile: "Of course, it is impossible to be as flamboyant and powerful as the world. We can only have a drink here and taste some delicious food."
"That's not bad." Ye Fan nodded and said with a smile: "Otherwise, I really thought that the cultivator would have to kill the seven emotions and six desires."
The two found a small wine shop and sat down. The pear wood eight immortals table and the peach wood four-legged chair looked antique, and they were placed on the edge of the road. Facing the peach blossom forest, it was very artistic. The same is true of other restaurants, and the tables and chairs are placed outside in the open air.
They ordered some wine and dishes, began to drink together, came to this strange world, and saw their former classmates again. Both of them were very emotional and had endless words to say.
"When I came to this unfamiliar world, I stayed up all night for a long time, and wanted to go back in my dreams. I missed my parents and my friends..." Zhang Wenchang, who was sluggish by nature, spoke a lot today and revealed his true feelings, as if he had met his relatives generally.
Li Xiaoman's indifference, Zhang Wenchang's enthusiasm, and the comparison between the front and rear sides made Ye Fan very emotional.
"Perhaps, we can go back in the future." Ye Fan said.
"Go back... I no longer have this fantasy." Zhang Wenchang shook his head bitterly and said, "How have you been living in the past three years, whether you are living in the Lingxu cave or in the mundane world, how did I hear about it? Pangbo disappeared?"
Seeing his old classmate, Ye Fan wanted to tell the truth, but he held back, his experience was very complicated, and what he said would bring trouble to both of them, so he could only nod his head and said, "Pang Bo has indeed disappeared. Now, I am very worried. I have already left Lingxu Cave, and now I travel all over the place."
"Sigh, it's not easy for us, mortals are not easy, and cultivation is not as beautiful as imagined, very boring, and we may face all kinds of life and death tribulations in the future."
"You have to be careful, it's better to practice more and go out less." Ye Fan reminded.
Zhang Wenchang nodded, and then smiled bitterly: "I figured it out, no matter where I am, I will never stand out. It was like this in the past, and I am still like this. I can only live a mediocre life in my life. Maybe, there are One day I will leave here, go to the world of ordinary people, open a tavern, and spend the rest of my life peacefully."
"Don't be so negative..." Ye Fan comforted.
"You don't know, the world of monks is very cruel. If I don't leave, I will die in the hands of other people one day. At that time, I will die silently, like an ordinary wave in a river. , no one will know, no one will cry for me, only I know that I am not in this world."
After listening to Ye Fan, he felt that he had not really entered the world of monks, and now it seems that it is really cruel.
Zhang Wenchang sighed: "I heard that Lin Jia, Zhou Yi, Wang Ziwen, and Li Xiaoman are all valued by their teachers. It seems that some people can shine no matter where they are."
The two chatted while drinking, talked about a lot of past events, and talked about the current predicament. In the end, Zhang Wenchang was completely drunk, lying on the table and crying, saying: "I really want to go back, I don't want to stay. In this strange world, when I left, my wife was pregnant, and our child was about to be born, and when she needed me most, I disappeared and came here..."
He was uncontrollable, like a child, crying uncontrollably.
"I really want to go back... My child, it should be three years old now, I want to see him, pick him up, kiss him..."
Seeing Zhang Wenchang in such pain and crying aloud, Ye Fan's heart was up and down, and he kept speaking calmly.
"Who am I crying, it turns out to be the useless old man." A few sneers came from not far away, and a few young people made no secret of their contempt and walked towards this side.
"The hair is all white, and the half-crippled person still has the face to cry."
"It's ridiculous!"
Several people were almost all in their twenties, and they were all mercilessly sarcastic.
Ye Fan sighed, and he finally knew that Zhang Wenchang's life in Yuding Cave was very unsatisfactory. He shot two divine lights in his eyes, stared at the people in front of him, and said, "You should leave some virtue in your mouth."
"Who are you? If you are nosy, you must first weigh your own weight."
"I really thought I was a master of the Life Spring Realm, it's ridiculous!"
"What kind of expert can the half-waste old man's friend be..."
"Don't say that, in case that Liu Yiyi finds out, maybe she will sue again."
"It's you!" At this moment, the youngest boy, who could be eighteen or nineteen years old, stared at Ye Fan with wide eyes and an angry look.
"Junior Brother Han, do you know him?" asked a few young people next to him.
The young man's eyes were spitting fire, and he gritted his teeth: "Of course I know him. He is not from your Jade Cauldron. He once stayed in our Lingxu Dongtian. He is a veritable waste!"
Ye Fan secretly sighed, feeling that the world is really small sometimes, he never expected to meet Han Feiyu here.
"Really, it turned out to be a waste. It really is a group of people who are similar to each other. The friend of the half-waste old man is really a waste." The young people next to him all laughed unscrupulously.
