one's door

Including this time?

Wu Kui didn't express the guess in his heart.The reply he got from Zhang Yan must be reported to the emperor as soon as possible.And he will continue to stay in Langyuan City, and then together with Zhang Yan, he will witness with his own eyes how Zhang Yan managed to block the dead road.

Wu Kui left in a hurry, while Zhang Yan returned to the refining room in his small courtyard and started formally refining a pair of leg-shaped limbs for his elder brother Zhang Shun.

Zhang Yan already knew the size of the limbs.It doesn't need to be equipped with so many combat attributes like He Xianghong's arm.One is flexible, the other is sensitive to touch, and it won't be jerky to use. These three points can meet Zhang Shun's normal needs.In terms of difficulty, except for the "touch", other aspects are even much simpler than He Xianghong's arm.

So much so that when refining a pair of limbs for Zhang Shun, he was able to think about the conversation with Wu Kui today in his mind.

seriously.Zhang Yan really doesn't have much idea of ​​what he wants from Nanyuan Kingdom now.Everything about the Taoist sect in the entire Huangtian Territory is unknown, and Zhang Yan can easily obtain a large amount of cultivation resources.Not to mention that he himself can practice at an infinitely faster rate by relying on merit and aura, and Huangtianyu is helping Wudao to cheat. Even Wang Nian and the other three younger ones have inexhaustible resources for future cultivation.

From this aspect, Zhang Yan can really be said to have "no desires and no desires" for Nanyuan Kingdom.

But it's not because Zhang Yan is willing to help block the Dead Silence Road for nothing, it's just that the benefits he reaps are just as Wu Kui thought, but others won't think of them when they see it.

Chapter 317 Unintentional

Although Wu Kui had learned the detailed process of Zhang Yan's arrangement of the so-called large formation from Shen Wujiu's report, it would not prevent him from feeling the shock and wonder during the period when he witnessed it with his own eyes.

Of course, Wu Kui is the same as Shen Wujiu, he clearly sees everything in his eyes, but he can't understand Dao Dao at all.I can only say that it was fun to watch.

Wu Kui even reached out to touch the metal cylinders that Zhang Yan had smelted and called Tiangang Pillars when Zhang Yan was not paying attention.And forcibly wrote down most of the lines on the pillars, thinking that when he went back, he would compare them with the lines on the bathtubs of "The Method of Refining Skin and Flesh" from the Langyuan City Lecture Martial Arts Academy. have considerable similarities.

After that, Wu Kui saw what a skylark shuttle is and what it means to ride on a cloud.I also saw what Shen Wujiu said in the report note, "When the array rises, it rises like a mask out of thin air, and it is enveloped in a radius of tens of miles, so far the dead road is blocked."

"It's really miraculous! Mr. Zhang's method made Wu amazed! Is there really no way for this Skylark Shuttle?"

Zhang Yan smiled without saying a word.

This is the first time that the Dead Silence Road has been sealed. It is located in the rear of Chonglan County. It is also the stable rear that the emperor Yang Sheng repeatedly told Wu Kui to ensure first.

"Observe it for a few days after the formation is up, and if there is no problem, you can go to the next place."

The blockade process is the same as before in the direction of Lianshan City.First, Zhang Yan used the Skylark Shuttle to go first, and after the formation was properly arranged, he observed and confirmed that there was no problem for the time being, and then Wu Kui notified the nearest special case department to come and set up a monitoring post.This is also to avoid alarming the enemy, and also to prevent the staff of the special case department from approaching rashly and damaging their horses.

Wu Kui really wanted to ask where the large number of Spirit Races who had originally gathered at the entrance and exit of the Dead Silence Road went after the big formation started?It includes powerful existences like the Holy King, so it's impossible for them all to disappear out of thin air, right?

Was it swallowed by that great formation?

Wu Kui finally found a possibility that was not mentioned in Shen Wujiu's report note.It's just that now is not the time to mention it to Zhang Yan, and we have to find another opportunity to avoid annoying people.

Just as Wu Kui guessed, the benefits that Zhang Yan cared about were indeed taken openly in front of others, but Wu Kui couldn't see it at all.Just like now Wu Kui doesn't understand the disappearance of those Spirit Race gathered at the entrance and exit of Dead Silence Road.

The spirit race, in Zhang Yan's place, is a ghost, representing different amounts of merit and aura.And the essence of the big formation is to target ghosts rather than the deadly path itself.

Previously, the Dead Silence Road in Lianshan City gave Zhang Yan three ghost kings, nearly thirty ghost generals, and hundreds of ghosts.This is the biggest amount of merit and spiritual energy that Zhang Yan has harvested at one time.Although it is still not enough for him to make great progress in his cultivation at the early stage of returning to the god state, he can still clearly feel the improvement.If this level of refinement comes again three or four times, Zhang Yan thinks that he will definitely be able to feel the long-lost realm barrier again.At that time, he will not be far from the middle stage of returning to the gods.

Zhang Yan didn't know how others spent the long years of practice slowly. Anyway, he was not used to it. Even after stepping into the state of returning to the gods, his practice speed dropped sharply.But this time the appearance of the dead still way increased his practice speed again.And this is the main reason why Zhang Yan is willing to "help for nothing" this time.

At the same time, Zhang Yan agreed to seal three dead paths instead of all blockades. It's not impossible, but he has his own considerations.

It's like blocking a mouse hole. If it is completely blocked, the mice will not be able to come.This is not a good thing for Zhang Yan.Keep one, won't it be more convenient to pack it up in the future?

But Zhang Yan also knew the consequences of what he did.Especially for those ghost kings and big ghost kings in the ghost domain, there will inevitably be trouble coming to them.But Zhang Yan didn't feel worried, and even he agreed to block the Dead Silence Road this time because he deliberately tried to actively test Huangquan.After all, since the last time he almost killed a big ghost king with the method of running thunder, Huang Quan has become indifferent to him.This is not normal, there must be follow-up measures to come.

In this way, Zhang Yan naturally tended to do it himself first, and he couldn't let the other party easily arrange methods.

"The next place is here. It's only ten miles away from the border of Xiyuan County. It used to be a large abandoned mining area. It was abandoned hundreds of years ago..."

Wu Kui has done a lot of homework in advance, and he has a detailed understanding of the entrances and exits of each dead silence road.

In the past few days, Wu Kui followed Zhang Yan and observed outside the first closed Dead Silence Road for several days. The effect of the large formation was almost the same as that of the place in the direction of Lianshan City.It also gave Wu Kui great confidence.In just a few days, the situation in the rear of Chonglan County has improved a lot, and the situation in the Yubeishan Fortress on the front line of Chonglan County has been directly stabilized.

Taking this as an example, Zhang Yan's subsequent actions will certainly be able to stabilize Xiyuan County as expected, and make the critical situation of Xiyuan County a little easier.

"Abandoned mine? Hundreds of years?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhang, this place used to be a gem-producing vein. During the Qiande Dynasty, the production here was very high, and there are books to record it. Hundreds of years later, roughly before the collapse of the Qiande Dynasty, this mining area There are frequent accidents, and the minerals are also disappearing rapidly, so it is useless."

Zhang Yan didn't pay much attention to Wu Kui's introduction at first, because to him, the location of the Dead Path didn't have any practical meaning, they were all the same.The reason why Wu Kui was asked to say it in detail was to take care of Nanyuan Country's face, and there was a sense of participation.It can be said to be very thoughtful.

Before the first place was cleaned up, Zhang Yan had heard Wu Kui's long narration, saying that without the constraints of that place of dead silence, the rear of Chonglan County would be stable and able to defend the increasingly severe Yubeishan Fortress. The pressure is on the line, so as not to mess up the rear position.

And the second path of dead silence is also for the same reason.It is also the reason why the Dead Silence Road in Zhongding County, where the Yuanding Imperial City is located, was abandoned.

But he didn't want to listen, but he couldn't avoid it on the Skylark Shuttle, and he had to save face, so Zhang Yan took it as if he was listening to the story.Unexpectedly, it aroused his interest.

A large abandoned mining area, not surprising.After the mine is dug, it will naturally be abandoned. In addition, over-exploitation will bring catastrophic environmental damage. After that, it will be difficult to make other livelihoods in this area, so it is not surprising that it is barren.

But according to Wu Kui, this mining area used to be brilliant.It should have been brilliant even during the Qiande Dynasty.

Here comes the question: How did this once glorious mining area stand at the entrance and exit of the Dead Silence Road?

Either that, Qian Dechao has a way to shield the deadly path from danger.Or it was when this mining area was brilliant, there was no dead silence road here.

Chapter 318 Topography

For the "sanctuary" and "spiritual clan" in the wild world, Zhang Yan's initial and most of his cognition comes from the narration in "Miscellaneous Scrolls of Spiritual Affairs" written by Yu Wenbing, the sage of the demon race.After getting acquainted with the demon species Bai Yu later, I also learned more information from the other party.

But in the end, it is only "understanding", not "clear".

Even Zhang Yan has carefully distinguished them in the past two years.Even the Special Cases Division set up in Nanyuan Kingdom specifically for ghosts, the understanding of ghosts and ghost domains is superficial, not in-depth at all.And it's not just the Nanyuan Kingdom, looking at the entire human empire, it is estimated that the Shang Kingdom knows a little more about it, such as the Nanyuan Kingdom and the Beiwu Kingdom, the situation is no better than a few "Miscellaneous Volumes of Spiritual Affairs" How much is said in it.

Among them, Zhang Yan also knew about the news about the Dead Silence Dao not long ago.Let alone understanding.So I was quite surprised to hear the clues suddenly.

"The place where the Dead Silence Road is located, how did the mining area manage to be prosperous for many years? Could there be something hidden in it?" Zhang Yan continued to fly south while manipulating the Skylark Shuttle, crossing the northeast direction of Xiyuan County, and entering the area next to it. Nagato County.While asking the question in his heart.

Wu Kui smiled and said: "It's hard to say about the problems. Many hidden things about Qiande in the previous dynasty were not inherited after the founding of the Nanyuan Kingdom. The historical materials also did not mention the Qiande Dynasty's methods of targeting the Lingzu. .

Combined with some other information that has not been detected, it is very likely that the Dead Silence Road in Changmen County appeared there not long before the collapse of the Qiande Dynasty, that is, after the mineral output began to decline sharply.

But why, we don't know anything.After all, even the location of the Dead Silence Dao, we have only grasped it not long ago. "

Zhang Yan could only nod his head to express his understanding when he heard the words, and he also agreed with Wu Kui's guess in his heart.That is to say, the Dead Silence Road in Changmen County did not always exist there.It appeared suddenly at a certain time.Otherwise, how can the place where the Way of Death and Silence is located make life easier for the living?

Since it didn't exist before, it came later.Then there will be new possibilities.Is it a new dead road that appeared later, or a dead road that moved from another place?

However, it is estimated that no one will give him an answer to this new question that popped up in Zhang Yan's mind, and he can only see if fate will have a chance to know in the future.

But this also gave Zhang Yan a new way of thinking, that is, the thing of dead silence is definitely not something that has existed since ancient times, but will change.Either it will move, or it will increase or decrease.

Skylark Shuttle's speed is extremely fast, and it doesn't take much time to cross the range of two counties.So after chatting for a while, before he knew it, he had arrived at the place Wu Kui said was in the dead silent road in Changmen County.

It has the same characteristics as all dead and silent roads, that is, the closer to the center of the dead and silent road, the more eerie and terrifying it will appear, and it is accompanied by some strange and weird landform features that are difficult to see in ordinary lands.

But the bleakness of this abandoned mine known as Snowfield doesn't lie on the surface.Instead, it slowly seeps up from the feet.At the same time, coupled with the already barren and mining-abandoned environment here, even if few people have come here for hundreds of years, it will still give people a feeling of lifelessness and lifelessness.

"Mr. Zhang, are you going to find a place to lower the Tiangang Pillar first this time?"

"No. The terrain is different here. Change."

The setting of the Twelve Heavens Array is not a fixed arrangement, and needs to be adjusted accordingly according to the terrain where the Dead Silence Road is located.It is necessary to maximize the power of the large formation, and at the same time to cover the dead silence in the large formation to the greatest extent.At the same time, it is also necessary not to disturb the ghosts gathered in the big formation before it is opened.

Originally, the best way was to take the underground mine distribution map of this mining area, find and delineate the most suitable deployment position, and at the same time hide yourself.

Because from the moment Zhang Yan stepped into this area, he could feel that this place was different from the other two dead silence roads he had sealed off before.The most intuitive difference is that the entrance and exit of the dead road here are not on the surface, but directly hidden underground, or the opening is opened in the underground mine.

In this way, it is equally necessary for Zhang Yan to drive the twelve-day gang formation deep into the mine, so that the power of the formation can be better utilized, and there will be no dead ends or flaws.

But the mining area has been abandoned for hundreds of years, and it is still a legacy from the previous dynasty. Although Nanyuan Kingdom inherited this place, it is absolutely impossible to keep the mine trend map of this abandoned mining area.So Zhang Yan didn't ask at all.

"Let's explore the underground location first. This time, it's inconvenient to bring Steward Wu with us, and please help Zhang Luezhen here." Zhang Yan took a rough look at the terrain of the place, and quickly became concerned.

If you bring Wu Kui with you, although you can have one more helper, it will also hinder the convenience of his formation.Because if you take Wu Kui with you, you can only walk through abandoned mine roads that you don't know where they lead.It is even more difficult to find a suitable deep position to arrange the Tiangang pillar.And if Zhang Yan acted on his own, he could just put aside the complexity of the mine tunnel and choose to use the earth escape technique to find it directly, which is not a little bit faster.And it can also prevent the ghosts gathered at the entrance and exit of the dead road from discovering clues.

"This... Mr. Zhang, is there any other way?"

"From what Manager Wu saw, the terrain of the Deathly Silence Road here is complex, and the layout of the Twelve Heavens Array needs to be adjusted, so we need to dive deep into the mine below."

"But this place has been deserted for a long time, and there is no road map for the distribution of relevant mines. Sir, is there a way?"

"Well. There is a method, but it doesn't need to rely on the mine's lines. But in this way, Manager Wu can't be accompanied."

"Huh? Mr. Zhang don't care about me, just do whatever you want, I'm just here to help Mr. look after these heavenly pillars." Wu Kui was extremely curious, knowing that Zhang Yan must show some new means.While expressing that he didn't mind, he also consciously took a good look at the twelve metal Tianzhu pillars that had just been unloaded from the Skylark Shuttle.

Zhang Yan didn't show any tricks, but nodded to Wu Kui, then bowed his hands, and put on a Tiangang pillar with one hand, and then the people and the pillars all began to sink into the ground, as if the ground had turned into a cloud. quagmire.After only three or two breaths, Zhang Yan and the Tiangang pillar could no longer be seen.

"This..." Wu Kui was once again speechless by Zhang Yan's method.He also instantly understood why Zhang Yan said that he could not take him with him this time.It is true that sinking into the soil does not require a mine's road map and is faster... But won't people be suffocated to death?

Naturally Zhang Yan will not be suffocated to death, Tu Dun has practiced to his current level, not to mention thousands of miles in a blink of an eye, it is no longer a problem for a few miles in a blink of an eye.But sneaking underground with a huge Tiangang pillar is not so fast.But although it's a little troublesome, it doesn't affect Zhang Yan's purpose.

Chapter 319

The heaven and the earth are divided into yin and yang, the upper part is clear as yang, and the lower part is turbid as yin.Therefore, yang qi always rises, while yin qi sinks.

Although the earth escape technique adopts the path of the five elements earth attribute, it will still be disturbed by Yin Qi when diving into the ground.Under normal circumstances, this kind of nuisance is not serious, and there is no need to even care about it. It belongs to the natural laws of heaven and earth, and it will not have any impact on the escape technique.

But special circumstances are another matter.

The location where Zhang Yan entered was in the outlying area of ​​the Xueyuan mining area, which was a place outside the gathering area where he deliberately avoided the dead quiet road delineated by Nanyuan Kingdom.The purpose is to calmly and slowly probe deep without being discovered by the ghosts near the deadly path.

But it was Zhang Yan's first attempt to escape underground with a huge Tiangang pillar. He never thought that he would encounter such a situation before.

Fortunately, Zhang Yan's cultivation base is high enough now, and he has been refining the method of Tudun from the very beginning, so it can be called superb.Although the speed of diving into the ground with a huge Tiangang pillar is not fast, it is still smooth.

Once you enter the ground, your normal vision will be unreliable. There is really no light here.What needs to rely on is perception.Use perception to guide your own escape direction, and avoid some water traps and potholes in the formation.

Zhang Yan's moving direction is diagonally downward.Because he needs to distinguish the range of travel based on the degree of gathering of Yin Qi.

"How deep is it?"

Along the way, Zhang Yan soon discovered that the mining area looked barren and dilapidated above, but beneath the ground was another scene, extending in all directions like densely intertwined spider webs.From time to time, the Earth Dungeon will fall into a certain dark mine tunnel that no one has stepped on for many years.Going down obliquely layer by layer, you can still feel the existence of the mine tunnel for more than thirty feet.

After about a stick of incense, Zhang Yan sensed the first group of ghosts since coming here.Similar to the situation we encountered before, the generals were all led by ghosts, and then a few "white and fat" soul boys were gathered together by the spirit feeder.Moreover, it can be seen that their speed is much faster than Zhang Yan's two previous encounters, and they are also very vigilant, especially the ghost generals who follow, they will roam a certain range from time to time, as if they are searching for something.

It seems that it is also because Nanyuan Kingdom has sealed off two places of dead silence, so the ghosts here have also started to be vigilant?

Very reasonable, Zhang Yan smiled in his heart, and didn't care too much.His main purpose is to set up the big formation first, so that these ghosts will not be able to escape at that time, no matter how cautious they are, it is impossible for them to notice any clues before the big formation starts.

As they continued to approach, ghosts appeared in groups more frequently, but Zhang Yan also continued to lay out the foundation of the formation in an orderly manner.But as the arrangement deepened, he gradually felt something unusual.That is, there seem to be too many ghosts gathered around the entrance and exit of this deadly path.

According to the previous experience of blocking the two paths of death and silence, the path of death and silence is actually a busy pass, whether entering or leaving is in a hurry, and a large number of ghosts will not stay outside in a short period of time.

However, there are many ghosts gathered at the entrance and exit of the dead road below the Xueyuan mining area, and even some ghosts seem to be in a hurry but neither leave nor enter, more like pretending.

"Is this...waiting for a rabbit?" Although Zhang Yan knew that he might have fallen into a trick set up by a ghost this time, he didn't panic, and smiled self-deprecatingly.It is also a wake-up call to my relaxed mind when facing ghosts.After all, ghosts are no different from living people, so they can't always lose money but never have a long memory, right?

It's just that Zhang Yan himself was too careless to fall into the current situation.

Zhang Yan was thinking in his heart, but he didn't panic at the same time.He has two choices now, either he just throws away the Tiangang Pillar and runs away, and tries to see if he can rush out of this place by relying on the earth escape, which is obviously forming an encirclement circle for him.

Another option is that since everyone has come, there is no reason to run away halfway.Then touch it and see what the ghosts have prepared for him.

If it is in the ghost domain, Zhang Yan will probably choose to avoid its peak temporarily, after all, it is the territory of ghosts.But even though this place is underground, it is also in the sun, how can we be timid before fighting?What's more, Zhang Yan's previous plan was to mess up the ghosts' secret calculations against him.If the situation can be broken at this time, it will naturally make it more difficult for those ghosts in Huangquan to attack him.

But you have to find a suitable place.You can't be in the state of escaping, otherwise Zhang Yan will not be able to use many methods due to the limitation of the five elements.

So after Zhang Yan buried the fifth Tiangang pillar at hand, he quietly searched in the densely packed mine tunnels, and finally found an underground cavity less than ten feet away from the ground with a radius of three feet.There are also some rotten wooden tables and stools scattered here, which should be a small site for resting in the former mining area and taking stock of the miners' income.

In Zhang Yan's perception, this place is in the middle of the entrance and exit of the Dead Silence Road, not too deep, nor too defensive.At the same time, although the position of three feet is not too big, it is actually enough when fighting against intangible opponents like ghosts.

Zhang Yan stomped his foot, and a yellow light spread like ripples from the position Zhang Yan stepped on.And as this earthy yellow brilliance passed by, all the earth and stone structures in the surrounding area, including the hollow here and the mine tunnels extending in all directions, immediately became compact, even as solid as pig iron.And this state can remain unchanged for at least an hour.

Since he chose to have a head-on encounter with those ghosts, he wouldn't go to the ground. What if the other party retreated?But it's not appropriate to stay in the casting state of the earth escape technique, so Zhang Yan created a suitable environment for himself.

"When I was in Langyuan City, I killed several of your so-called holy kings, and I almost killed a great holy king. I was still wondering how you could be so silent? I didn't expect to lie in ambush here I.

Come out, let me see what methods you have? "

Zhang Yan's voice echoed far away in the dark mine tunnel one after another, and the echo gradually decreased over and over again and finally disappeared.

Zhang Yan was not in a hurry, he closed his eyes in the dark, perception replaced his vision, and also broke through the barriers of layers of earth and stone.

Where the eyes couldn't see, the ghosts that were still performing hard all stopped their movements one after another. After a while, those ghosts, ghost boys and the like fled into the entrance of the dead silent road in a swarm, and those who stayed outside The ghosts with the lowest strength are also ghost generals. As for the ghost kings, they are emerging one by one along the entrance and exit of the dead silence road...

Chapter 320 Weird

In just a moment, in Zhang Yan's perception, he was already surrounded by layers.Especially above his head, there are densely packed ghost generals, the number is probably not less than fifty.Among them, there are as many as one ghost king looking around.

In other directions, there are also hundreds of ghost generals and eight or nine ghost kings.

"Is that all?" Zhang Yan put away the Fan of Not Forgetting Root with a smile on his face, pressed his palm again and again, and a bright yellow long sword appeared in his hand.

Sword name: Chunyang.

Like the fan of not forgetting the root, the Chunyang Sword is a magic weapon at the level of a magic weapon.At the same time, the difference is that the Chunyang Sword does not have the various means of attacking and defending as well as the buff effect on various spells like the Do Not Forget Root Fan.The Pure Yang Sword has only one effect: Exorcising evil spirits and eliminating yin!

So compared to not forgetting the root fan, this Chunyang sword is more suitable for dealing with the current situation.

"Mr. Zhang, are you safe?"
