When the sky gradually became dark, Hong Yi had already brought Yang Cuiting to a place thousands of miles away from Yujing City.

The people of Daqian all know that there are ninety-nine states in the world. From the center of one state to the border of another state, it is at least a thousand miles away. Therefore, even though there are tens of millions of people under the rule of Daqian, compared with this vast world , it still seems vast and sparsely populated, and in some relatively less prosperous areas, there may not be any city or rural town within hundreds of kilometers.

When Hong Yi left, he specifically searched for those desolate areas to walk. The more desolate he walked, the more desolate he walked. By the time the moon rose, he had entered a dense jungle that stretched for thousands of miles. There were towering ancient trees hundreds of feet high everywhere, and they were often a dense forest. The leaves are as big as an adult man's entire body.

When the moonlight shone between these huge branches and leaves, Yang Cuiting looked up and thought that she had arrived in a fairy tale, a forest country exclusively for giants.

After Hong Yi put Yang Cuiting down, he looked at the girl from the side with a little distress between his brows. When he was in Yujing City, he was entangled by this strange girl. He couldn't break up for a while, so he took her out of the city. After leaving Yujing City, In the process of running thousands of miles, I don't know why, but I forgot to put her down.

Now that the two of them had arrived in the jungle thousands of miles away from the city, Hong Yi would feel a little sorry if he left her behind or let her return to Yujing City alone.

"You and I are just acquainted, why on earth do you have to get entangled with me?"

Yang Cuiting patted her face that was stiff due to the wind on the road. After thinking about it for a while, she couldn't find any confusing reasons and simply said: "I think if I don't follow you, I will die."

"I think it will be easier for you to die if you follow me." Hong Yi said, "We just met by chance. Aren't you afraid that I might be someone with ulterior motives and kill you on the way?"

"You have led me so far, wouldn't it be a shame to crush me to death now?"

Yang Cuiting's cheeks warmed up a little when she was patted by her hands, her head was spinning rapidly, she came closer with a smile, and gently hit Hong Yi's shoulders with her hands, "Well, I can serve you like a slave, and at least I can pay back today's travel expenses." Only after we are clean can we part ways."

Should I call him weird? Hong Yi stared at Yang Cuiting with strange eyes, and he couldn't figure out what kind of family there was in Yujing City that could develop such a temperament.

"By the way, where are you going?" Yang Cuiting said, "When I was outside the door before, I seemed to have seen you beating up those people who looked like they had a lot of background. If we go into the city, will there be anyone? Wanted, or is there a place hidden in the jungle?"

"After passing this jungle, we can reach Zhongzhou, which is the territory of the Great Zen Temple."

Hong Yi took out the compass and map from the bag. The map was very large, but it seemed that it only showed the terrain and roads of two major states. One had Yujing City marked on it, which was obviously Daqian Tianzhou, and the other What is shown on the graph is Zhongzhou.

He said, "Since the imperial court tried to unite with Tai Shang Tao and other sects to destroy the Great Chan Temple twenty years ago, but was defeated by Master Yinyue of the Great Chan City, Zhongzhou is actually no longer part of the Great Chan Temple. Yes, it is completely managed by the monks of the Dazen Temple. The local people pay taxes to the Dazen Temple. When they are drafted for military service, they also become a member of the monk soldier training group of the Dazen Temple."

"Why does this development sound like something is not right?" Yang Cuiting secretly wondered. In her memory, this big Zen temple should have been wiped out 20 years before the main plot started. The protagonist Hong Yi

Many of the golden fingers come from various treasures that were left outside the temple after it was destroyed.

Recalling that before, Hong Yi did not take part in the imperial examination at all, Yang Cuiting gradually felt that the development of this world should be very different from the plot she relied on in her mind.

However, since you have decided to embrace Hong Yi's thigh, you cannot change your mind midway. Looking through all kinds of literary works at home and abroad, it is found that if you are not the protagonist, you will always die the worst. Yang Cuiting can

I don't want to end up like that, so I'd better take a gamble with Hong Yi, the "suspected protagonist".

"So, are we going to Zhongzhou?"

"I'm just borrowing a road over there to go to another place." Hong Yi had already determined the direction of his next action and put away the compass and map. He obviously didn't want to explain where he wanted to go. Yang Cuiting also knew enough not to ask any more questions.

.

The two started walking again, and it was Hong Yi who was still leading Yang Cuiting, but this time he was not holding it up, but carrying it.

Although judging from the speed of the surrounding scenery retreating, the speed of the two of them was almost as fast as that of a plane, but Yang Cuiting did not feel the pain of the strong wind this time. There seemed to be something gentle and flexible in the shape of a bubble.

, shrouding the two of them inside, isolating the strong airflow from the outside world, but at the same time allowing sufficient oxygen to penetrate.

The process of driving is extremely boring. Because the speed is too fast, the nearby scenery is blurred into colorful colors, and no specific outline can be seen. And if you look into the distance, the blue sky, jungle, and green mountains remain unchanged for several days.

An hour later, Yang Cuiting finally couldn't help it and asked again: "Hey, Hong Yi, the people in your palace must be very bad to you. It's probably impossible for someone to explain to you the kind of thing that's very far away."

Local things, how do you know this?"

Hong Yi turned a deaf ear, but after more than an hour, when he heard this question for the seventh time, he finally spoke.

"Actually, I'm quite trusting. If someone treats me badly, there will naturally be others who treat me well."

After just such a sentence, no matter how many times Yang Cuiting asked questions here and there, Hong Yi didn't say much more, but in his own heart, he still couldn't help but recall that evening five years ago.

At that time, Hong Yi was still a child in his early ten years. He had gradually crawled out of the sadness of his mother's death. He studied hard, hoping to obtain a meritorious degree in the future and obtain the title of a lady for his biological mother.

Everyone can respect her.

It's just that when a child in his early ten years was growing up, people in the prince's family saw that others could be bullied, and intentionally or unintentionally deducted his share of various assets. He often didn't have enough to eat and couldn't afford those things.

Expensive reading utensils, and unable to afford the rare ingredients sold near the Hou Mansion, I could only go out and walk a long way to remote places in the city to eat from small stalls.

The sun was setting, and the sunshine was warm and yellow. The heat of the day rose on the stone bricks of the long street that had been exposed to the sun all day. The voices of the fruit sellers who had been selling fruits all day had become a little weak, but this time was right.

When many people go home from work or rush to work, which is relatively the most generous time of the day, they will buy some fruits to cool off the heat.

A large group of poor men wearing shorts, smelling of sweat after a busy day, crowded around the vendors, but they were all smiling happily.

Ten-year-old Hong Yi followed the shadow of the eaves and walked on one side of the street. Amidst the laughter of the big men, he tried his best to avoid the heat of the street. When he inadvertently looked up, he saw a young scholar staring at a man.

Wherever they sell pears, they always smile.

The scholar was wearing a moon-white robe, but there were obvious signs of being washed many times. His elbows and shoulders were worn a little thin, and the hem of his clothes was a little yellowed. He was also holding a stack of blue-covered threads in his hand.

Shu seems to be a poor scholar who comes from a poor family and has not yet achieved any academic success.

Hong Yi, who matured prematurely due to the loss of his mother, faced the few rays of light sweeping over the eaves in the west. When he saw this person, his nose felt a little sore for no reason. He didn't know why. He just thought that this person looked a little pitiful and a little like.

Own.

Probably at that time, he didn't understand the difference between being indifferent and being alone. In short, the little child went to talk to the strange scholar.

"Do you want to eat pears? I can give you money to buy a pear."

When the scholar heard this and turned his eyes, his eyes seemed to contain a strange nostalgia and scrutiny. Xiao Hongyi couldn't understand those many emotions, but he instinctively became nervous, fearing that the scholar in front of him would feel that he looked down on him.

He quickly said: "I will give you the money to buy a pear, rent you this book, and let me read it for a while."

"Ha." The scholar squatted down, his eyes were level with the little boy's, and said, "My book is very expensive and cannot be rented. How about this, you give me a pear, and I will give you a book."

The deal between Li and Shu was quickly concluded. After returning home with the book in his arms, Xiao Hongyi opened it and was a little disappointed. It was not a collection of classics and history, but some stories about ghost foxes talking at night.

The book was buried under a book by a previous sage, but not long after, it was opened again.

In the middle of the night, when no one was around and when he couldn't sleep, little Hong Yi couldn't help but want some companionship. Opening the book made him feel as if he had entered a completely different world, where there were famous people and great sages.

On the road, I met two children arguing about the sun and were speechless. A general was walking at night and encountered a tiger. He shot an arrow at it. Looking at it in the daytime, it hit the stone and reached the feathers. There were also some barbarians who were taking a bath.

They will all think about some inexplicable magic problems, and there are also people who are unable to examine things to the point of vomiting blood, and who use their own thoughts to develop a conscience...

Six months later, Hong Yi met the scholar again. From then on, he had an unknown teacher.

The night was long and the road was endless. In a few days, Hong Yi only took a short rest on the way, and soon passed through the jungle and even passed through Zhongzhou.

It was said that he was borrowing the road. Hong Yi did not stay in Zhongzhou at all, and did not even communicate with anyone here. Soon, he completely exceeded the scope of the ninety-nine states.

Keep moving forward in the unknown wilderness until that day.

Tens of thousands of black holes are spread across the sky, the earth, mountain peaks, and river valleys.

Appeared in front of Hong Yi.

"Wow, this is so spectacular. Where is this?" Yang Cuiting's voice sounded.

Hong Yi's brows froze, as if he had unconsciously forgotten to leave this girl in a certain town.

"This is a bit abnormal!" Hong Yi looked over with a solemn expression.

The fiery red cloak swept from the corner of her eyes. Yang Cuiting ran in front of Hong Yi and suddenly let out a scream.

"What's wrong?" Hong Yi was in a daze for a moment, completely forgetting what he was thinking just now. He just took two steps forward with a tight expression, and then stopped there.

Daqian, as well as the Yunmeng Empire, Yuantu, Huoluo and other major countries, are all within the scope of the ninety-nine states on land, and beyond these ninety-nine states, there is an even more vast and boundless ocean. The sea has many huge islands floating on the sea. There are hundreds of maritime countries that people are familiar with. The total population is about billions, but the territory is so vast that if it is connected to the ocean, it can be said to be almost thousands. Thousands of miles of vertical and horizontal movement.

Compared to such a vast world, the place where ordinary people live is just like a handful of sesame seeds sprinkled in a pond. There are many mysterious places that only those with advanced cultivation have the strength and experience to explore. exploratory.

Among the classics left by ancient cultivators of past generations, this place called "The Labyrinth of Moment" can be said to be one of the best among all mysterious places.

There are tens of thousands of black holes here, each leading to a different place. Maybe if you walk into one of the holes, you will appear in a bustling town. Maybe after stepping through a certain hole, you will appear thousands of miles underground and die instantly. .

What's even more frightening is that the connection point behind each hole is not fixed. It is said that it will change places every moment.

A snap of the fingers is sixty seconds. If someone is fast enough and lives hard enough, he can travel between sixty different places in a black void with a snap of a finger.

If you want to find a correct passage among these tens of thousands of disorderly exchanged black holes, and seize the opportunity of only a moment, even if it is five or six thunder tribulations, a ghost immortal master can have thousands of crystal-like thoughts. Even if tens of thousands of data are dispersed and calculated at high speed, it may not be possible to succeed in one go.

This is a miraculous workmanship, the most mysterious creation of nature, full of subtle and mysterious meanings. However, when Hong Yi and Yang Cuiting really approached this area, they found a huge bronze figure, extremely rough. Lying between tens of thousands of black holes.

Those black holes seemed to be pulled almost out of shape by invisible forces, clinging tightly to the perimeter of the bronze figure. The tall bronze figure seemed to be wearing a coat composed of tens of thousands of black spots, and because of the black spots It was completely stretched and deformed, and the internal passages seemed to be pulled by an inexplicable force, leading to fixed scenes that would no longer switch.

The young man and woman held their breaths and looked at the bronze giant in front of them in disbelief, exuding an incomparable sense of power. Yang Cuiting stiffened her neck and turned her head, almost jumping in fear.

In addition to this bronze giant, it turned out that where they were, there were three other majestic beings whose size was no less than that of a bronze giant.
