Chapter thirty-eight, year after year peace
On New Year's Eve, the Pan family sat on the north city tower of Dingfeng Town to watch.
Tonight, all the people who had enough internal energy cultivation in Dingfeng Town and could maintain combat effectiveness in the severe cold gathered on the city walls and were scattered everywhere, and were careful.
Those whose internal strength and whose internal strength is poor and who are not able to withstand the severe cold will form a patrol team and patrol around the city.
The masters of light skills, led by the Han family and the son, were in charge of the town yamen, and together with the chief and magistrate, were responsible for delivering messages and rushing to various places at any time.
Every year on New Year's Eve is a difficult time for the North.
The north is not within the scope of the Jiuzhou Formation, and even during the Tianxiong Dynasty, it has never been able to rule here. In countless long years, the Central Plains forces have never been able to operate here.
This means that the north cannot enjoy the protection of the countless large formations that connect mountains and rivers all over the Jiuzhou.
The only thing that can protect the north is a circle of formations based on the Jincheng defense line. This formation is not bad. Once it is opened with all its strength, even those wild people and beasts with the strength of demons, gods, immortals and Buddhas cannot break into it.
However, the Jincheng Formation can only defend against foreign wild people and wild beasts, but cannot defend against the demons and monsters inside the North.
Every year at the end of the year, the fortune of the world is flowing, and demons often take advantage of the fortune of the previous year to dissipate and the fortune of the next year to attack the world.
This kind of thing will not happen in the Jiuzhou, because the formations are everywhere in the Jiuzhou, and countless sages and saints have already arranged them. Unless the chaos of wars destroys the luck in the world, countless luck will be concentrated in the formations of all sizes, and will not cause the luck to decline due to the New Year's Eve, attracting demons to look at it.
There is also this formation in the north, and there is also one in Dingfeng Town. But after all, the time is still short and there is not enough accumulation. Unless you burst out with all your strength at all costs, it is inevitable that the deterrent power of the guardian formation will be reduced.
This is probably the case in the north. Unless a few people close to the Jincheng defense line can use the Jincheng formation to protect them, all towns will have to arrange a large number of people to serve the night at the end of the year to guard against demon attacks.
What's even more terrible is that in order to prevent the attention of demons and monsters, the city wall should be kept from igniting fires as much as possible, which increases the danger and difficulty of vigil.
Don’t underestimate this one night. In the history of the North, at least ten towns have disappeared in such a night and turned into ruins.
Not only that, if the demons take this opportunity to sneak into the town, the guardian formation will not be able to detect them, and there will be endless troubles.
Pan Long's father Pan Lei went to a nearby town to help wipe out a demon who sneaked into the town during the New Year. Many people died in that battle, and finally the demon was wiped out.
Things like this happen almost every year in the North.
Therefore, every night of the New Year, Dingfeng Town will be extremely nervous, and all the people who can be used must be used. Everyone will not sleep until the rooster crows and sunrises, and the sky is bright, and a stone in their hearts can only land.
Then, everyone went home to take a hot bath, drank a safe wine, and officially started the New Year.
"I was worried every year at the end of the year before." Pan Lei sat on a simple wooden bench and stared at the snowfield covered in darkness in the distance, his voice was calm and gentle, "But this year, I feel at ease."
"Why?" Pan Long asked with a smile.
"The whole family is reunited, even if the sky falls, there is nothing to be afraid of." Pan Lei picked up a silver wine pot and took a sip. "What's more, our family is all innate masters. No matter how powerful the demons and ghosts in the North are, they are actually just this level. Not to mention that they may not necessarily come, even if they come, there is nothing to be afraid of!"
Ren Yue smiled and shook her head: "Don't talk nonsense, be careful of good and bad spirits."
"It doesn't matter if you have a bad spirit. Aaron is very powerful now. Killing ordinary innate masters is similar to killing chickens. What can I worry about?"
Ren Yue was stunned for a moment and looked at her son: "Xiaolong, are you so powerful now?"
Pan Long touched his nose and smiled.
Although this is true, he is inevitably a little shy when he is praised by his parents so much.
"This kid was named 'one penny hero' before, and helped one person fight 20 to 30 innate masters of Yizhou Green Forest in Tianshou, killing others into a defeat. Do you think he is strong?" Pan Lei smiled, "The next wave of the river pushes the previous wave, and a new generation replaces the old ones. This world is already the world of his generation!"
"Dad, don't say that..."
"My son is very capable and has a brilliant record. What can I say?" Pan Lei snorted and took another sip. "If your grandfather hadn't repeatedly emphasized that 'the bird that stood out first', I would have wished to brag everywhere in the north, so that everyone would know that my son is a peerless genius, much better than Di Luonan!"
Ren Yue smiled and said, "The more you say it, the more exaggerated you are. Di Luonan is the prince of Daxia. He has been eating magic medicine since childhood. Countless famous teachers have taught him. They have entered the innate age at the age of twelve, and have become a real master at the age of thirty. Our Xiaolong is definitely better than his talent, but our family background is not as good as him. At the beginning, Xiaolong always suffers some losses."
After she finished speaking, she turned to look at her son and comforted her, "But Xiaolong, don't be discouraged. The beginning is fast, and it doesn't mean anything. Life is long, and you will be able to go high in the end. Di Luonan is just a rich family, so he can beat you at the beginning. You are not as good as him at the age of thirty; but when you are sixty, you will not be worse than him; when you are one or two hundred, you will definitely be able to leave him far behind!"
"What's more, the road to cultivation is not important, and whether we can live forever is the most important thing in the end is the key. Because our Qionglai Sect has a grudge against the immortals of Shushan, every generation of real masters will challenge them. There have been several geniuses in history, and everyone joined forces to fight the immortals and escaped in a panic. But the years go by, the geniuses can't stand the time. When they get old, the bastard immortal will come back... and laugh in their cemetery, saying nonsense like "How can the fighting power be compared to the fighting Taoist practice?"
"Xiaolong, of course, mother didn't want you to learn from that bastard immortal. But that bastard said something very right. Fighting magic is not as good as fighting Taoism. Thousands of years later, your enemies will die even after death, and you will still be leisurely and leisurely in the world. This is the greatest victory!"
Her face, which was like a girl, showed a maternal smile: "Son, mom has confidence in you! You are the most outstanding genius in this generation. If anyone in this generation can live forever, it must be you!"
Pan Long's face turned red by his parents' praise. It's not that he has never experienced the situation where everyone praises him, but the beauties from outsiders can only make him secretly proud, while the beauties from his parents make him really shy.
Just as he was about to say something to resolve the embarrassment, his expression suddenly changed, he stood up and turned around, looking out of the city.
He clearly felt a breath of pressure that even he felt was slowly approaching.
Seeing that his son suddenly changed his face, Pan Lei and Ren Yue immediately reacted, stood up and looked outside vigilantly.
"What's going on?" Pan Lei asked.
"A lot of people are here." Pan Long whispered, "I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with."
"Why didn't I feel it at all?" Ren Yue said with some doubts, "Would you make a mistake?"
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly opened her eyes wide.
A huge golden ball floated in the air in the north.
Tonight, the night was dull and wind and snow blocked the view. Even the innate masters could not see far. I think the golden ball was not very far from Dingfeng Town.
"What exactly is this?" she couldn't help asking.
Pan Lei clenched his fists secretly.
His adventure experience was far more than his wife. He had only a glance and had already vaguely guessed what it was.
But he would rather not guess it himself!
Because... according to his guess, the golden ball is actually... an eye!
The "Shenyi Sutra" says: The north of the nine provinces is either turbulent and bound the sky, or dust and sand cover the ground, and it is called a great wilderness. There is a giant in the great wilderness with one-eyed and long body, feeding on the mountains and forests. It has great power and its power is immeasurable. Some say that this is the descendant of Kua'e, the god who moved mountains, who was the god of Kua'e. It is unknown whether it is true or false.
Wen Chaogong had commented on this passage: I think this giant should be covered in green, and there is also an alias called "Zagu". His natural enemy is some kind of two-eyed giant called "Gundam"...
Pan Lei naturally saw this story. When he was young, he even left the Jincheng defense line and went to the depths of the Great Wilderness further north to find the legendary giant beasts.
But he never found it.
But he knew that these giant beasts really existed. There were some giant beasts in the Jincheng defense line. He had seen a piece of finger bones, which were even larger than his body.
A human finger bone is only about an inch long, and an adult man can even be six feet tall or more.
Based on this calculation, wasn’t the owner of that finger bone as high as thirty or forty feet in his lifetime?!
This is simply a walking hill!
When Pan Lei was young, he wanted to find such a giant and use its neck to try how many pieces of his knife were. But now, he only hopes that this giant does not exist at all, it is just his own illusion.
But he knew that just as he was young, his wish might not be able to become reality.
A moment later, a huge figure faintly appeared in the wind and snow.
As Pan Lei guessed, it was a pale giant. Its waist was already taller than the city tower of Dingfeng Town. On its huge head, there was only a round eye in the middle of its forehead, which looked a bit funny.
There was no special breath on it, and there was no feeling of joy, anger, sorrow and happiness in its eyes. But when he saw its expressionless face, Pan Lei felt as if he was hit in the chest with a heavy punch, and felt depressed and guilty, and even the circulation of the true qi in his body became stagnant.
"This thing...is abnormal!" he couldn't help but say, "What kind of monster is it?"
Ren Yue did not answer. The martial arts she practiced were authentic, and her ability to perceive evil spirits was far above that of her husband who was a martial artist. The moment she saw that she felt the terrifying evil spirit contained in her eyes.
That is not the level of an ordinary "monster" or "monster", but something far above it.
It can even completely restrain its natural terrifying aura!
Faced with such enemies, let alone a few innate masters, even if the entire Dingfeng Town is combined, it is not enough, right?
Perhaps...only, only if the ancestors let Changsheng come out of the mountain can he be able to clean up it.
(I don’t know if my ancestors would come out to destroy it if I died here...)
Her hands and feet were cold, but strange thoughts flashed through her heart.
Just then, a figure flashed and Pan Long rushed out.
He has a strong strength, and his perception range is much wider than his parents, and he can feel much more than his parents.
In Pan Lei and Ren Yue's eyes, this giant was as desperate as the arrival of death, but in his eyes, it was a strange and distorted thing, completely unreasonable thing.
Such a big guy, he was light and sound when walking. Do you dare to believe this?
If something abnormal is true, he will definitely become a demon. He would never dare to let such a strange thing approach Dingfeng Town.
Not to mention anything else, if he fights with this monster a little while, the aftermath of the two people's battle may endanger their parents' lives.
Even if my parents are so prosperous and happy, they are not affected by them, and Dingfeng Town is as big as that, they can't escape it.
The city gate caught fire, which affected the fish in the pond. God knew how many people would die in Dingfeng Town after a battle!
So he quickly made up his mind to lure this thing away and fight it in the distance, so as not to let Dingfeng Town be implicated.
He jumped, and his whole body was like a huge rock thrown from a catapult cart, roaring through the air, and instantly flew past the giant.
A cold light flashed in his hand, and Duan Qiu Dao pulled out and slashed hard at the giant's head.
In this knife, Pan Long did not use any special means, just to pour his true energy into the blade and emit a sword energy to attack. Of course, even if it is just a sword energy, it is enough to cut off ordinary wood and stones. If the armor with a lower quality is also broken by one knife or two.
The giant was stabbed above his head, but he didn't see any bleeding from the skin, just a dull and heavy sound.
But it was immediately angry, turned around and chased Pan Long in the direction of flying, chasing him while making an angry roar.
And with the roar, a trembling aura suddenly burst out like a gust of wind swept across the entire Dingfeng Town.
At this moment, both those who were on night or patrol in Dingfeng Town were awakened.
Although they may not have enough strength, perhaps lack knowledge, or even be confused, most of them fail to realize what was going on, the instincts of living things are already telling them.
