Chapter 209 Abandoned Village, Strange Territory

"Wait a minute..."

The mage who was running forward with the magic weapon Cloud-climbing Boots suddenly stopped. The boots flashed with green light, and the weeds he trampled turned into fragments and broke apart. A wisp of wind flew past his feet, and the weeds swayed within a few feet.

Cui Mingyuan stopped and turned his head to look.

Gu Yibai, Mu Yuanzhang and the two followers of Disha Zhenren also stopped, but they couldn't do it as easily as Cui Mingyuan, so they rushed forward two or three steps before stopping, and also looked at the mage who was staring at the jade lotus in his hand and muttering something.

"He moved!"

The mage said.

"He should have sensed the power of the blood curse and started to flee, but..."

After a hesitation, the mage said.

"This time, that guy didn't use the secret method to hide his whereabouts. I don't know why. Is it a trick?"

"A trick?"

Cui Mingyuan snorted coldly.

"In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy or trap is useless. Qinghe County is the heartland of the Central Plains and the territory of our Boling Cui. Let alone people like Faxiang Zhenjun and Tianzun, even if a strange Tiangang Zhenren passes through the border, it can't be hidden from the eyes of our Cui family..."

"These crazy people of Huangquan Secret Sect are just rats in a broken house in the field. It's okay if they don't show their heads. Once they show their heads, they will die!"

He looked at the mage.

"Master Qinglian, where did that guy go?"

Master Qinglian closed his eyes and gently rubbed the jade lotus in his hand. The green light flashed and a lotus popped out. The lotus swayed gently in a certain direction.

"Southeast..."

"Southeast?"

Cui Mingyuan frowned slightly.

The southeast direction is not to the depths of Moxingling, but to the direction away from Moxingling.

The reason for frowning is that the target's reaction is not very reasonable. Logically, if you know that the pursuers are coming, you should flee to the depths of Moxingling. Moxingling is indeed dangerous at night. Accidents may occur frequently, but it is beneficial to escape.

For the target, chaos is good.

Fleeing away from Moxingling and walking through the Shuiyue Forest, it is impossible to escape tracking. In terms of physical skills, he is no match for people like him, so why does he do this?

He has been tracking this guy for two or three months. Cui Mingyuan also knows the target person. This is a guy who is as cunning as a fox and acts very cautiously. Otherwise, he would not have escaped for two or three months under his pursuit.

He had no choice but to escape into Moxingling.

At this time, his behavior changed.

Is it really like what Master Qinglian said, there is a trap?

However, what's wrong with a trap!

If I give up, wouldn't I be a joke.

"Chase!"

Waving his hand, Cui Mingyuan used his physical skills and ran towards the southeast under the guidance of Master Qinglian.

...

The blood moon is in the sky.

The scarlet moonlight fell, floating on the treetops, passing through the gaps between the branches and leaves, and fell on a small river in the forest. On the surface of the river, there was a scarlet light rippling. Suddenly, it looked like a flowing blood river.

The blood river meandered in the Shuiyue Forest and curved into a river bay.

The river bay had hundreds of acres of fertile land that had been opened up, but this fertile land was overgrown with weeds, just like the village next to the river bay, which had been abandoned, uninhabited, silent, reflecting the scarlet moonlight, which was extremely strange.

Cui Mingyuan and his party stood in front of the village.

The tracking spell showed that the target person was in the village.

There was no movement at all.

Is there a problem?

Beside Cui Mingyuan, the Qinglian Master was busy.

There were apricot-yellow flags inserted around, fluttering in the wind, and the yellow light was diffused. It rose up and turned into a yellow light ball in the air. Then, driven by the magic of the Qinglian Master, it flew towards the village.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound came from the air.

The sound echoed in the dark Shuiyue Forest and in everyone's sea of ​​consciousness. However, the team was composed of all real people, and no one was affected by the crisp sound. With a thought, the divine mind suppressed the ripples in the sea of ​​consciousness.

The yellow ball of light broke in the air.

The black fog rose in the village, permeated, and instantly enveloped the village.

"Strange area!"

The Qinglian Master said.

"This village is a strange area!"

Cui Mingyuan looked at Gu Yibai and Mu Yuanzhang.

As locals and guides, it was time for them to serve, even if it was just a little bit of strength. In short, they could not fail to show some performance. For Cui Mingyuan, there was no need for useless people to exist.

Gu Yibai and Mu Yuanzhang looked at each other, and he stood up.

"Master Cui, I know a little about the situation in this place..."

This is a world where the king and the aristocratic clans share the world, and the feudal system is practiced. The Royal Dragon Court is the largest aristocratic clan. The four major families and three major sects surround the Royal Dragon Court and govern the world together.

Aristocratic clans all have ranks.

The first rank is the best, and the ninth rank is the worst.

One ring after another, one level after another, from top to bottom, forming a complete closed loop, a bit like the Jin Dynasty in Nie Wushuang's previous life.

Just like Shangjing Huafu, although it dominates Qinghe County and is the aristocratic alliance organization of Qinghe County, it also has the master-disciple tradition of Shangyang Tower and Yinlou. It seems to be a behemoth, but while it is responsible for the government, it is constrained by Boling Cui.

In addition to normal tax payments, tribute must be paid to Boling Cui every year.

Of course, the resources of Shangjing Huafu also come from Qinghe County and those aristocratic clans. In short, layer by layer, a complete food chain is perfectly displayed, and finally, it falls on the people at the bottom.

In this world where extraordinary power exists, the people at the bottom have no spare energy to resist.

Are the kings, princes, generals and ministers of different species?

There is no such saying.

At this stage, there are only things like Huangquan Secret Sect that are resisting, but this kind of resistance is just scratching the surface and is useless.

Just like now, they can only flee in panic like rats crossing the street.

However, although they cannot resist, some people choose to flee to dangerous places like Shuiyue Forest to escape oppression and exploitation.

However, without oppression and exploitation, there is naturally no power to protect them.

They can only fend for themselves.

The people in this village are all refugees, without household registration, self-sufficient, barely surviving, but they are unlucky.

Encountered a passing weird.

The whole village died, and the village became a weird domain.

Shuiyue Forest is the territory of Shangjing Huafu. The people of Shangjing Huafu naturally know this, but they choose to watch from the sidelines.

Exorcist and protect the way?

Not exist!

No tax, no blessing!

Later, the weird left and entered Moxingling, and the village was abandoned.

Although it was not dealt with, it was marked.

Before leaving, Gu Yibai crammed for the last minute and knew the situation of the village.

"It's just a Geng-level weird, and the weird domain is also the lowest level thing..."

Gu Yibai said.

"Humph!"

Cui Mingyuan snorted coldly.

"It's just a desperate dog, let's go!"

"Follow me in and send that guy off!"
