Chapter 90 Cause and Effect of the Previous Dynasty

After entering the carriage, Wu Yi discovered that there was another person in the carriage. She was wearing a tight green gown that outlined her exquisite curves. Although she was a little older, she had a bit of the grace of a middle-aged woman. She had her own merits compared to the woman on the side.

Although this woman was simply sitting there, she had her own aura. She had been staring at Wu Yi since he got on the carriage, and her whole body was ready to go, as if she was on guard against Wu Yi. It turned out that this woman was the source of her confidence.

Wu Yi couldn't help but laugh in his heart. If he was not mistaken, this woman could be considered a cultivator. He didn't know if she had reached the peak of the fourth transformation. She was not Wu Yi's opponent at all. However, in addition to spiritual energy, this woman also had internal strength cultivated by the methods of strengthening the body in the mortal world. Calluses could be seen faintly on her palms. She must have rich experience in fighting and could not be regarded as an ordinary fourth transformation cultivator.

Nodding slightly to the woman, Wu Yi shook his sleeves and sat in a corner, far away from the two of them, which relieved the woman's worries a little. She couldn't see through Wu Yi, but she was sure that he was much better than a self-taught person like her. She was afraid that Wu Yi would have inappropriate thoughts. She was opposed to the woman's invitation to Wu Yi before.

The reason why she was able to cultivate spiritual energy was because her ancestors were disciples of the Taoist temple and passed down the method of refining qi. She was considered to be a more intelligent person among the younger generation. Most people could not be taught by the master and could not even enter the door of cultivation. They would encounter the difficulties that Wu Yi encountered when he entered the door. After all, there were very few people who could find a breakthrough path from miscellaneous books like Wu Yi.

Taking the cultivation method out of the Taoist temple is against the rules and cannot be seen in public. Therefore, although this woman has made some achievements in cultivation for decades, she still devotes herself to being a personal guard of a wealthy family. In fact, every few years, nearly ten disciples of the Taoist temple are driven out of the mountain gate because of their lack of achievements in cultivation. The Taoist temple will not forcibly abolish the cultivation of the disciples who leave, so that some disciples will have the opportunity to pass on the skills. These disciples are eager for their descendants to fulfill their unfulfilled wishes in the future. The Taoist temple turns a blind eye to this and does not investigate it deeply, but it will not encourage it. Just let it go. After all, it is not certain that one person can enter the door of cultivation after several generations of inheritance. There is no big obstacle. They are equivalent to casual cultivators. If they are successful in cultivation, the inner gate will not hesitate to introduce them.

"Where are you going to find immortals and visit the Taoism on this trip?" The woman saw Wu Yi close his eyes and meditate after getting on the carriage, and couldn't help asking.

"I went to Nanling to collect herbs, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing on the road." Wu Yi opened his eyes and answered.

The woman looked at the woman next to her, and the woman said, "What a coincidence. My daughter is going to Lingnan County, and she has to cross Nanling."

"I don't know what herb the Taoist is looking for. Xiaoya may be able to help the Taoist." The woman said.

Wu Yi smiled and said with pride: "No need. I'm afraid that ordinary people can't go to the place where I want to go."

Thinking of some rumors about Nanling, the woman stopped talking wisely. She didn't continue to ask Wu Yi where he was going to look for it, but said with a little regret: "Is that so."

The rest of the journey was uneventful. He arrived at Yuncheng, the southernmost city in Nanjun, very smoothly. Compared with Wu Yi's own foot strength, the distance that could be reached in one day took two days after getting on the carriage. However, Wu Yi originally wanted to gain experience, so he didn't care much about it.

The city was built in a valley between mountains, with a significant strategic position. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. Because it is close to Nanling, where the products are abundant, people rely on the mountains to make a living. Although there is no family with a fortune, there is no need to worry about starvation.

After passing Yuncheng, we will enter Nanling next. For thousands of years, there have been many pedestrians, and there are already fixed routes. People are used to walking here, and there are fewer beasts. However, Wu Yi is not going to take these flat mountain roads, but to enter the mountains. Here, Wu Yi has to say goodbye to this group of people and start his own solo journey.

When they parted, the woman seemed to inadvertently reveal her identity as the daughter of the governor of Lingnan County. This time she was going to reunite with her father. Wu Yi didn't say much after knowing it. She was just a passerby. If he hadn't been tempted, there would be no intersection at all. He declined the woman's invitation to go to Lingnan County first and then come back to collect herbs.

Before leaving, the woman gave Wu Yi a few yellow and white things as a reward for Wu Yi's previous efforts to drive away the robbers. Wu Yi refused but accepted it. Sometimes it was really inconvenient to walk outside without these things, which was not conducive to his experience in the mortal world. Even in the Taoist temple, he sometimes needed these. Of course, the woman's gift to Wu Yi might not be a compensation for dragging Wu Yi into the water before, and Wu Yi felt at ease to take it.

Saying goodbye to the woman called Xiaoya, Wu Yi bypassed Yuncheng and went directly into the vast mountains.

"Miss, you made friends with this Taoist priest because of the matter of the mansion, but the master has already invited the Taoist temple to build the foundation master, and I think it will be solved soon. Why bother to make trouble." The woman said to Xiaoya when she saw Wu Yi going away.

"Auntie Qing, it's not true." The woman turned around, responded lightly, and walked away in small steps.

Auntie Qing watched Xiaoya leave and sighed in her heart. This woman lost her mother since she was a child. She was strong-willed and always wanted to help her father solve problems. It was a pity that she had many inconveniences as a daughter.

On the other hand, Wu Yi entered the forest and climbed over three or four mountains. Wu Yi saw that the forest was deep and dense, and there was no one around, so he released the monster and let it lead the way.

Xiao had already known the location, and he headed towards the destination as soon as he came out. He was very excited and wanted to fly to the Yinsha place on the Nanling Mountains. Wu Yi still needed to stimulate his spiritual energy to keep up with Xiao's pace.

Xiao was so anxious that Wu Yi also understood that Xiao's accumulation was already extremely rich. Now he only needed a little Yinsha Qi to break through. If he didn't break through, the Yin Qi that Xiao had accumulated with great difficulty might all dissipate, and then it would be a waste of effort. As the saying goes, the first effort will weaken the second, and the third will be exhausted. This momentum must be maintained.

But neither Xiao nor Wu Yi knew that a huge danger was waiting for them ahead. It was an unsolved cause and effect.

Nanling is indeed the most precipitous mountain range in Nanjun. After walking for a day and a night without rest, Wu Yi still did not reach the destination. Even the excited Xiao had to choose to stop and restore his Yin Qi first.

Wu Yi took out the black and white talisman that Wang Chuchen had given him, and poured spiritual energy into it. The talisman vibrated on its own, evolving a colorful pattern in the air, which could vaguely be seen as a map.

The green dot was where Wu Yi was, and the blue dot was the Yinsha place. The blue dot closest to Wu Yi was also Wu Yi's destination, which was still hundreds of miles away from Wu Yi. In fact, Wu Yi himself had estimated that the distance was about the same, but Wu Yi didn't dare to believe it. He took out the talisman map to verify it, but he didn't expect it to be true.

Sighing, Wu Yi didn't rest for long and chose to move forward. The ultra-long distance running just stimulated Wu Yi's perseverance, and the blood light he cultivated spontaneously circulated to reduce his fatigue.

A hundred miles away, there was a dark blue pond, about a mile in radius, much larger than the Youchi that Wu Yi had visited before, and the depth was invisible at a glance. The water surface was like a mirror, and the wind didn't wrinkle it. Under the dark blue water surface, it seemed that there was a peerless evil creature hidden.

Suddenly, a black shadow appeared at high speed under the water surface that seemed to have not been disturbed for thousands of years. It was vaguely seen that it was a human-shaped figure, and the whole body was wrapped in thick black fog that could not be dissolved.

If Wu Yi was here, he would be surprised to find that this figure was actually the ghost with a human-shaped snake body back then, but the lower half of the snake body was refined by Wu Yi into a ghost pet, which is now the 魖, and it became a human-shaped appearance, and thus formed a cause and effect with Wu Yi.

But what Wu Yi didn't know was that this ghost was not the ghost it used to be. When the ghost king was broken by Yun Sa's clone, he used his own Tao rhyme to take over the ghost. Although it is now a human-shaped figure, it is the ghost king inside.

After the ghost king took over this body, his strength was greatly reduced. He was worried that Yun Sa would chase him relentlessly, so he fled here to recover. He used a trick to swallow the original evil ghost that occupied this place, and his strength was restored to the evil ghost realm, but in such a short time, he still did not recover to the ghost king realm, so he never left here.

The ghost king came out of the water and looked at the direction Wu Yi was heading. His eyes were bright. Following the cause and effect, he realized what was happening, laughed hideously, and restrained his breath. At this time, it was nothing to argue that it was a fierce ghost. The ghost king was like a hunter waiting for prey to fall into his trap.

Wu Yi didn't know that danger was waiting for him ahead, and he kept approaching the target. The blue dots in Nanling were much denser than those in the other two places. It can be seen that there must be a ghost that is more powerful than the previous black tiger ghost. Although Wu Yi didn't know that the ghost king was in front of him, he stopped cautiously 30 miles away from the target, ready to recover to the best condition before moving forward.

This is already the core area of ​​Nanling, and monsters can be seen everywhere. Although their cultivation is not high, they are all small wild monsters, but this is a real forbidden area for mortals. There is no trace of human beings here. In order to avoid being disturbed by stupid wild monsters during his recovery, Wu Yi took back the demon and released the spirit ghosts in the stone tablet world, letting them set up the Nine Ghosts Locking Palace Formation.

Why did he take back the demon when setting up the Nine Ghosts Locking Palace Formation? It was naturally the sequelae of Wu Yi's balanced strategy. The two sides are now in a state of conflict under Wu Yi's control. When enemies meet, they are particularly jealous and are afraid that they will fight first.

The ghost formation was set up, and Wu Yi sat in the center of the formation to recover at ease.

The ghost king quietly waited for Wu Yi to arrive in the Yinsha Land. Even if he felt that Wu Yi had stopped, he did not come out to interfere. He was very patient, and his net was always waiting for his prey.

After half a day, Wu Yi recovered and continued to move forward, but he did not take back the ghosts that Wu Yi released. He kept them in a state where they could form a formation at any time. In the range of dozens of miles, powerful ghosts could already sense the danger coming.

In fact, without using spiritual consciousness, just looking at the extinction of birds and beasts around, it can be seen that there must be a powerful ghost here, which has designated this place as its territory and excluded other monsters from coming.

After feeling the cold breath, Wu Yi stopped again. The reason was very simple. Wu Yi did not feel the breath of the evil ghost. Before, on the Youchi of Cangwu Mountains, Wu Yi had already felt the breath of the ghost at this distance, but now there was nothing.

Could it be that the evil ghost was not in the cave? Wu Yi frowned secretly.

Or... Wu Yi's eyes condensed, and he turned around to retreat first, and then sent the evil ghost to investigate.

But a black shadow, with the change of light and shadow, suddenly hit the Nine Ghosts Locking Palace Formation protecting Wu Yi outside, and the formation was immediately broken, and countless evil ghosts died tragically, and the spirit ghosts were all depressed.

Before Wu Yi could retrieve the injured ghost spirit, he saw a shadow coming towards him, like a sharp ice knife. Wu Yi's hair stood on end, and he was horrified.
