"Your master should have taught you the means of opening the Heavenly Gate, right?"

"You have asked this question twenty-seven times along the way."

"But you didn't answer once."

On the desolate ridge, Cheng Cheng stopped, turned his head, and looked at Grandma Lan curiously: "If I didn't answer, would you kill me immediately?"

Grandma Lan was stunned for a while before shook her head and said, "No."

"Why?"

"Because I don't believe it."

"Then you still ask?" Cheng Cheng rolled his eyes and walked forward.

"This little monkey cub!"

Grandma Lan gasped and stared at his back for a while before shook her head helplessly, getting up and chasing her.

...

The sky in Haizhou is very low. Standing on the ridge, it seems that you can touch the top of the sky with your hand.

In fact, this is not entirely an illusion. Because the sky in Haizhou is indeed very short, and high-level monks who master flying spells can even truly touch the zenith.

This is an incomplete world. More than 40 years ago, when the catastrophe occurred, the entire Haizhou was cut off from the Hongtian world by some unknown force and fell into the seven chaotic domains.

The disaster caused the mass extinction of more than 90% of organisms, making Haizhou almost a dead land. It was not until recent years that it had recovered a little bit of anger.

As for what happened at that time, almost no one knew. However, many people speculated that perhaps the previous city lord of Chijin City knew that because he issued a strange ban before his death, no one would allow anyone to open the Tianmen for generations. The Tianmen located in the center of Chijin City is considered to be the only gateway that has hope to reconnect with the Hongtian world. If it closes it, it is equivalent to cutting off the hope of returning to the Hongtian world.

Chijincheng was very secretive about the reason for the issuance of this ban, and others could do nothing about it. Because in Haizhou today, Chijincheng has almost become a dominant ruling force, and other sects can only rely on it.

The only one who has different opinions is the ghost clan.

The Ghost Clan is not native to Haizhou. They are races in the Seventh Chaos Realm. When Haizhou fell into the Seventh Chaos Realm, it formed a strong temporal and space turbulence, which involved some of the Ghost Clans' people in Haizhou and were forced to settle down. The large-scale death caused by the catastrophe provided a large amount of materials for the Ghost Clan to refine corpses, which made the small number of Ghost Clans have strong strength and could pose a threat to the dominance of Chijin City to a certain extent.

The girl mentioned by Grandma Lan is called the Ghost Girl in the clan, and her status is comparable to that of the patriarch He Kui. However, she is different from He Kui's idea of ​​fighting for control of Haizhou with Chijincheng and becoming the overlord of Haizhou. Her goal is to bring the Ghost Clan back to the underworld through the Tianmen. Therefore, she found Cheng Cheng's master Cheng Lang, because only this former deacon of Chijincheng who once in charge of Tianmen knew how to activate Tianmen. Moreover, he was carrying the key to Tianmen stolen from Chijincheng.

Of course, now such things fall into Cheng Cheng's hands.

"What you carry on your back is the key to the Heavenly Gate, right?"

Grandma Lan looked at something behind Cheng Cheng with her eyes slanted, and asked hesitantly.

This thing is very strange, more than two feet long, black, and looks like an iron rod, but one of them is pointed and has a curvature. To be honest, it looks like the teeth of some kind of giant beast, but it is just iron.

Cheng Cheng glanced at him, feeling a little impatient: "Grandma Lan, can you stop asking such an idiotic question? Do I dare to carry it on my back to show off my important things?"

After being ridiculed by a twelve-year-old child, Grandma Lan's pale face couldn't help but feel a little red. After coughing a few times, she said, "It's not the key to the sky gate, what is that? It's not your weapon, right? I haven't seen you use it before, and your master uses a sword, so there is no reason to teach you how to use such a strange guy."

"This is not a weapon, nor is it given to me by my master." Cheng Cheng shook his head and said slowly: "When my master picked me up on Duantian Cliff, I held this iron stick. I don't know what it was. But I heard from my master that when I was a child, I would be quiet as long as I hugged it."

"Is there such a thing?" Grandma Lan frowned curiously. After thinking about it, she seemed to realize something, and then said: "It seems that you have the strongest sense of iron. If the condensed pattern should condense iron. Uh... At your age, you should not have reached the condensed pattern realm yet, right?"

Cheng Cheng did not answer, but his lackluster expression showed that he had already understood what Grandma Lan said.

The practitioners must first absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The so-called spiritual energy of heaven and earth is just a general statement. When it comes to specific things, it is the aura formed by various substances. The heavier the substance, the higher the strength of the aura. For example, the aura formed by gold and silver is stronger than most common substances, and iron is much inferior.

According to their own physique, each person has different aura sensing abilities to different substances. The more sensitive they are to be to heavy matter, the stronger their ability to absorb spiritual energy, the faster their cultivation level will enter, and the higher the upper limit of cultivation.

This sensitivity to different substances will be confirmed by the sign of the sign when practicing to enter the condensed state.

The Condensing Realm is the second realm after the realm of consciousness. When entering this realm, a pattern corresponding to different material types will be condensed into the practitioner's sea of ​​consciousness. Among them, the golden pattern is the highest among the common patterns except for a few rare patterns. Silver pattern is followed by copper pattern, and as for iron pattern, it has almost no meaning.

Because the highest level of cultivation that a cultivator condensed into iron patterns can reach is the realm of condensation itself. Then, if a person finds that the mark he condenses into is iron patterns, he can almost terminate his practice and go home to farm.

Based on Cheng Cheng's special sensing of the black iron rod, Grandma Lan judged that he might condense into iron patterns, which was equivalent to telling him that the path of practicing Taoism had basically closed the door to him. Cheng Cheng had already known this, so he showed that look.

Grandma Lan looked at him and seemed a little reluctant, so she sighed and said, "Boy, don't be so depressed. Maybe grandma guessed wrongly. You are not sensitive to iron, but you just have some special connection with this iron tooth."

Cheng Cheng slipped his lips slightly, and his tone had a bitter meaning that was not consistent with his age: "I am also sensitive to ordinary iron."

Grandma Lan was speechless and thought to herself, is this kid really an iron pattern? That's a pity. She looks quite clever and has no life to practice Taoism.

But when I thought about it again, I seemed to think something was wrong.

"If this is the case, why would Cheng Lang accept him as his apprentice? Cheng Lang is a lunatic, not a fool."

After crossing this ridge, Silver Valley is not far away. At most, you can enter the sphere of influence of the ghost clan in half a day.

As long as Cheng Chengan is brought back to Silver Valley safely and handed over to the girl, the errand will be completed successfully.

Grandma Lan looked back at the way she came and breathed a little relieved: "I can't see the pursuers yet, so there shouldn't be any surprises?"

She knew that in order to get the key to the Sky Gate, Chijin City would never send only a team of people. Along the way, there were Jinyu, who seemed to be scouts, flying to investigate, and maybe someone would catch up.

There are many masters in Chijin City. It is hard to say whether the next group of people are as easy to deal with as before. Moreover, it is daytime now, the power of the ghost clan will be suppressed.

At this moment, Cheng Cheng suddenly stopped without any warning. His serious expression also shocked Grandma Lan.

"What's wrong, boy?"

Cheng Cheng hesitated for a moment, as if he was confirming something. Then, he pointed his hand at a dense forest two hundred steps away on his right: "It seems that there are people there, and there are very powerful people coming here, and the speed is very fast."

"What did you say?"

Grandma Lan was very surprised.

She has been paying attention to checking the movements around her, and naturally she would not miss the dense forest that seemed to be hiding people, but there was no abnormality. How could this kid know?

"I said, it seems that there is someone there."

"How do you know?"

"I don't know, it just feels like someone is."

Grandma Lan inexplicably said: "I feel that you have just arrived at the realm of consciousness? You can't even leave your body with your vital energy. How could you explore such a long distance?"

Cheng Cheng still shook his head: "I didn't investigate, I just felt it."

Grandma Lan was stunned for a moment, then made a decision, run! Start the journey and run together!

Although she didn't know why Cheng Cheng could feel it, nor did she know if Cheng Cheng felt it right. She just used her instinct of being cautious and careful in the ghost clan. Since there might be danger, she would run away first.

Her decision was right, but it seemed a bit late.

The roaring sound that was so sharp that it could pierce the eardrums exploded after the dazzling silver light.

A sharp light shot out from the dense forest, as fast as a dragon, and a suffocating feeling came to the air.

It was a silver spear. Before I could see the full picture, it had already shot to Grandma Lan's chest!

clang!

Grandma Lan's short sting force blocked the attack, but she was also bounced several feet away by the powerful impact. Cheng Cheng flew out of his hand, rolled a few times on the ground, and fell into a pit.

There was a roar in the dense forest, and a giant tiger covered in white rushed out with a nine-foot giant man.

Grandma Lan's eyes were straight: "Yinhu Kongshan!"

There are eight silver guards in Chijin City, and the Silver Tiger Kong Mountain ranks second among them. In terms of real strength, it may still be above the number one silver dragon Xiao Changkong.

Originally, Grandma Lan's middle stage of spirit gathering was one level worse than him, and now it is daytime, the strength of the ghost clan has to be reduced by another level, so it is even more impossible to fight.

"The Lord Qian actually sent you out, and he really attaches great importance to it." Grandma Lan said, while secretly looking at Cheng Cheng, who was thrown into a dilemma in the pit behind the diagonally behind, and secretly complained in her heart.

Seeing that I was about to arrive at home, I didn’t expect that I would encounter such a terrible situation at the last moment.

At this time, Kongshan ran forward and landed thirty steps in front of Grandma Lan. With a right hand, the silver spear was automatically retracted from his hand.

"Lan Yuping, it turns out it's you. No wonder Hang Yi's invincible skill in the Ningbian Realm would die so simply. He cut his throat with one knife, and there was not even a single excess wound."

Facing Kong Shan's approaching step by step, Grandma Lan took a few steps and came to Cheng Cheng's side: "Boy, you didn't fall to death, did you?"

Cheng Cheng was in pain by the aftermath of Kong Shan's attack, and his whole body was in great pain, but there was nothing big, so he struggled to get up, shook his head and said, "I can't die."

"If you are not dead, run quickly. Run as fast as you can. Grandma will help you block it for a while. When you enter the Silver Valley and see the girl, the people from Akagin City will have no choice but to deal with you." She whispered.

Cheng Cheng didn't say anything, just looked at Grandma Lan and nodded, then turned around, jumped out of the pit, and ran desperately down the hillside.

"Run?" Looking at his running back, Kong Shan squinted his eyes and sneered. Then he turned over and landed, reached out to pat the tiger's back and patted it: "Go, bring him back, you can do whatever you want."

The white tiger roared low, then jumped up, rolled up a gust of wind and chased after him.

Grandma Lan's eyebrows tightened and was about to fly over to intercept her. The silver light behind her burst out, and Kong Shan's silver spear had arrived.
Chapter completed!
