Chapter 175: The mysterious forbidden area of Number Six's blue ball: Singing love songs (6k)

As soon as Zhou Qing landed, he felt a chill down his back. Even with his current cultivation, he couldn't help but shiver.

The sky here was extremely gloomy. In the dimness, even the air seemed to be dyed ink-black, revealing traces of coldness, making every breath feel oppressive.

Looking into the distance, vaguely, it seemed there were huge ancient ships, as if sailing from the primordial era, moving quietly in the sand.

They were surrounded by eerie black mist, occasionally flashing with a few points of ghostly green light, and there seemed to be figures walking on them.

This was the maximum extent of the scene he could see.

"Every time we enter, these ghost ships will be different. If you want to travel to the ancient mines over there, you can only fight your way through!"

Number Six's blue ball's voice sounded from the side.

Zhou Qing turned his head and was shocked to find that the other party was shrouded in a layer of haze, unable to see clearly, and he couldn't even sense her cultivation at all.

He was the same.

It's a pity he didn't know her name; otherwise, he could have bound her. After all, the talent skill 【Heart Mirror Vision】 would soon be upgraded to level five.

"This is?"

Zhou Qing only then noticed that the two were standing under a crooked jujube tree. The jujube tree was sprinkled with pale paper money, and an old peach wood sword full of mottled traces hung from the branch.

Number Six explained: "This can be considered the initial safe zone. If injured, one can rush here for a short rest. Even those ominous things cannot approach this place."

"And there are four such places. At the very least, I have only explored four."

Zhou Qing nodded, his curiosity piqued. Anyway, he couldn't break through those ghost ships, and he couldn't expose his own cultivation, so he might as well see what was special about this thing first.

Afterward, he immediately performed an appraisal.

Soon, information was fed back.

【Remnant Jujube Wood: This is a ghostly remnant that perished long before the ancient times. She has spent her whole life waiting for the little Taoist carrying the peach wood sword to come and pick her up.】

【If a man and a woman sing love songs to each other under its tree, there might be unexpected guidance.】

Looking at the feedback, Zhou Qing was stunned.

It seems that in the endless years ago, a heartless person deceived a simple-minded creature.

Seeing Zhou Qing staring at the jujube tree, Number Six couldn't help but remind him: "You can't move the things here. Of course, you can't move them anyway. Anything that can exist in the forbidden area has its own reasons."

Zhou Qing, hearing this, nodded in agreement, then changed the subject and asked Number Six with a smile: "By the way, Number Six, can you sing love songs?"

Number Six's blue ball was stunned for a moment, seemingly not understanding.

Zhou Qing, seeing this, hurriedly explained: "Don't misunderstand. I seem to have seen relevant records in some ancient book, describing something like this jujube tree. If a man and a woman sing love songs under it, maybe some opportunity will appear."

Number Six's blue ball let out a dry laugh.

Zhou Qing could certainly understand her suspicion. Not to mention her, even he felt it was somewhat absurd.

But since he couldn't act, he might as well pretend to be big. At the very least, he had to make Number Six feel that he was unfathomable.

After all, he had always referred to himself as "the old man," so he had to have the demeanor of a senior.

But Zhou Qing's words gave her a hint. Looking at the paper money all over the ground, she suddenly reached into her storage bag and took out three sticks of incense to light.

Then she bowed respectfully, looking very pious.

Zhou Qing, seeing this, his face twitched. Was there any need to continue verifying?

It was absolutely that silver-haired woman!

Before, in the mountain cave opened by the Old Peng King, he had used this method of lighting incense and bowing to solve the five-colored barrier on the stone platform.

You learned this too quickly, right?

However, looking at her serious appearance, Zhou Qing suddenly felt that this woman was quite cute.

Believing in "fate," cold on the outside but warm on the inside, terrifying Soul Severance realm cultivation—truly curious, where exactly are you from?

Wait, Zhou Qing suddenly came back to his senses, shocked in his heart. He actually thought a Soul Severance realm senior was cute?

I'm going to die!

But after hesitating for a while, Zhou Qing still couldn't help but ask: "What are you doing?"

"Nothing, just expressing my gratitude. I've avoided several crises here!"

Seeing no abnormal reaction, Number Six stood up and explained.

Good heavens, even a Soul Severance realm expert could encounter danger. It seems the forbidden area you are in is much more dangerous than mine.

"Let's go!"

Number Six looked at those ghost ships, a trace of solemnity flashing in her eyes, and said.

Those existences on the ships were extremely dangerous. If you were unlucky, you would have to fold here all three times.

Just because she couldn't guarantee she could break through 100%, she didn't dare to rush in reality, even though she had already discovered two treasures in the ancient mines behind the sand sea.

Zhou Qing, seeing this situation, hurriedly said: "Number Six, what the old man said is true. Anyway, there's no rush. Trying is always right. Maybe there will be some unexpected gains."

Number Six stopped, looked at the three sticks of incense stuck in the ground, hesitated for a short moment, and said: "Did you hear from Number Five that I am a woman?"

Zhou Qing was stunned, then reacted instantly and couldn't help but laugh: "Then do you think I'm taking advantage of you? No one knows whether we are men or women, old or young. If you think so, the old man can withdraw now, so as not to cause you misunderstanding."

Zhou Qing finished speaking and made a gesture to leave.

Number Six, seeing this, hurriedly reached out to stop Zhou Qing and said urgently: "I didn't mean that, mainly I don't know how to sing love songs."

Inviting Number One for the first time, if it ended unhappily, it wouldn't be good after all.

Zhou Qing said: "So that's it. That's over. Mainly I don't know either. Wait—"

Soon, Zhou Qing seemed to think of something. He rummaged through his storage bag. He seemed to have seen a manual in Yu Ziqi's storage bag, which he thought was prepared by that guy for Sima Yaoji.

"Found it, it actually is!" Zhou Qing flipped through it, soon his brows furrowed.

Too explicit. Number Six would definitely be angry if she saw it.

"Forget it!" Zhou Qing put it away.

Afterward, the two looked at each other. Zhou Qing gritted his teeth and took out paper and pen, starting to compose on the spot.

Anyway, it's a remnant. It is estimated that there is an obsession in the jujube tree. As long as the general meaning is close, it should be fine.

Soon, Zhou Qing handed the note he wrote to her.

Number Six took it and looked at it, frowning, "This, how to sing?"

Zhou Qing laughed heartily: "I'll teach you. You just follow my tune."

Afterward, he coughed lightly, and his clear voice echoed leisurely: "God, can you let me feel it? Seeing that we are worried about each other, even a wind, a leaf, or a touch of a look is fine!"

At this moment, under the haze that Zhou Qing couldn't see, Number Six looked at the lyrics in her hand, plus Zhou Qing's singing method, her beautiful eyes rippling with light.

It was actually quite good to listen to.

After Zhou Qing finished singing, he felt somewhat embarrassed. Fortunately, there were only these few sentences, mainly because he forgot the others.

"How is it?" Zhou Qing asked.

Number Six nodded and said: "Didn't remember, one more time!"

Zhou Qing: "..."

Not long after, the two sat under the jujube tree and sang to each other.

As the last sentence fell, the paper money under the jujube tree actually moved without wind, rolling up small whirlwinds.

Number Six, who had never seen this scene, was shocked and stood up, full of disbelief.

How many years had it been? As a shelter, this place had never appeared like this.

Just because they sang a song?

Zhou Qing was also looking at it curiously. Although he didn't know where this forbidden area was, it didn't hinder him from gaining knowledge.

Hum—

The next moment, in front of them, a small path paved entirely with paper money appeared, continuously extending to one of the ghost ships.

Until a candle flame lit up on that ship.

"How is it possible!" Number Six was shocked.

Zhou Qing asked in confusion: "Is there any particularity?"

Number Six took a long time to come back to her senses and hurriedly explained: "Didn't I tell you before that these ghost ships are extremely terrifying? If you want to pass, you can only fight your way through."

"When you are unlucky, you have to fold all three opportunities there, and even have to escape here to heal. But every time we enter, that pass token will randomly appear on one of the ships, but these ghost ships are almost identical."

Zhou Qing, hearing this, finally understood.

"It's like setting up a formation. Now this jujube tree has directly pointed out the way of life for us!" Zhou Qing said.

Number Six nodded repeatedly, but he still had to verify the specifics.

"Hurry and go, that ship is about to disappear!" Number Six urged.

After all, those ghost ships in the sand sea were sailing continuously.

The two hurriedly went.

Soon, they passed through an oasis. Zhou Qing just subconsciously glanced inside, and couldn't help but feel a chill down his back, a strong chill surging in his heart.

He saw that on the reflection of the water, a pale child was lying on their necks at some point, strangling them tightly.

No wonder he always felt breathless, and his shoulders were aching painfully.

Number Six said: "There are many strange things here. If we cannot pass through the sand sea in time and reach the mining area over there, we will lose our sense of direction by these things, until we gradually lose our consciousness, and finally become a member of that ship."

After saying this, she pointed suddenly at the oasis, and all the water flowed into the air, then turned into an ice bridge made of ice crystals, leading directly to the ship that lit the candle.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Qing already had the answer in his heart and suddenly said: "I have a situation here. You go first, and we will cooperate when we have a chance in the future!"

After saying this, his figure disappeared.

The sudden operation directly made!

But she also understood. Their spiritual sense usually enters, and if an abnormality occurs around them, the body will immediately warn them, and the spiritual sense will withdraw quickly.

Afterward, she looked at the ghost ship and went quickly.

If it was really a way of life, she couldn't compare to Number One's vision at all.

Compared to the brute force and luck of the past, Number One simply pointed out the most convenient path in one needle.

Perhaps, for the road behind, he also had a way.

Thinking of this, Number Six accelerated again, until she landed steadily on the ghost ship, looking at the token on the table, her heart filled with ecstasy.

"Actually, it's true!"

In the room, Zhou Qing slowly opened his eyes, a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth.

It seems that a man's intuition is sometimes quite accurate. I didn't expect it to really be her.

In reality, my cultivation is not as good as yours, and I am timid, but in Shenxu Tiangong, I have quietly planted a mysterious seed in your heart.

Beautiful!

Just like this, waiting for Number Six to "go offline," Zhou Qing came to the gravity zone, pushed through with the "Jin Peng True Body," passed through the passage, and didn't swim across the blood river, but went straight into the darkness.

He took out the moonstone to shine, and three huge corpse-wax crows stood quietly.

"Actually came back. What benefits did you get from the abyss?" Zhou Qing looked left and right, and for a moment couldn't tell which one had been out that day.

Besides the corpse smell, they didn't bring back any good things. Some Golden-Winged Great Peng feathers would be fine too.

Day after day, they can't do proper things, but they are more accurate than anyone else in exploding my head.

Fortunately, when entering Shenxu Tiangong for the first time and mapping the forbidden area scene, the corpse-wax crows didn't come out; otherwise, just the Canglan Mountain trip would have made the silver-haired woman notice the abnormality.

Zhou Qing was muttering when that familiar feeling came again, and then he was mercilessly exploded.

He didn't expect that just as he turned back into a red ball, Number Six was already waiting excitedly.

Almost forgot, he could see her go offline, and she could see him go online.

"Number One, thank you so much!" Number Six said excitedly.

Zhou Qing knew that ship was the real way of life when he heard this, then said indifferently: "What's there to thank for? Just a small effort."

You even gave me a jade token.

Soon, Number Six said: "Then do you have time now?"

Zhou Qing immediately shook his head and said: "No time."

"Then when do you have time?" Number Six followed up and asked.

Zhou Qing was somewhat embarrassed. This matter is noisy. What if she comes here to block me in the future?

But he couldn't attack and expose his cultivation, and the forbidden area was full of dangers. Even if he could appraise it by luck, there was only one chance a day. If he wasn't careful, he might be exposed.

At this moment, he had to say: "Next, I will fully impact my side. You can find Number Four and Number Five to cooperate."

"I don't like them!" Number Six pondered and said, the tone revealing obvious disgust.

Zhou Qing smiled and said: "Don't like them, do you like me?"

Just as he said this, he felt it was inappropriate and hurriedly said: "Well, don't misunderstand, just mouth-running."

Number Six smiled slightly, seemingly not caring, and said: "It's okay. Then do you need my help on your side? Maybe after finishing early, you can come to my side."

Zhou Qing said awkwardly: "Not needed for now. Ouch, there's a situation, leaving first!"

After Zhou Qing finished speaking, he hurriedly retreated.

Looking at the disappearing red light ball, Number Six sighed.

She had a feeling that the forbidden area that had troubled her for so many years, if she had this person's help, perhaps she could really enter the depths and obtain that thing.

In the room, Zhou Qing looked at Number Six's blue ball that followed offline, feeling that he had dug a hole for himself.

After shaking his head, he took out the formation flags of the "Floating Pagoda Formation." This guy was damaged quite badly by Li Hanshan, so he had to spend time repairing it properly.

The next task was to continue practicing the "Di Huang Jing." This would be his true trump card besides Third Zhou Shixiong knowing about it. He had to practice it well and strive to let it exert greater power.

He was just about to go to Divine Peak to see if there were any materials suitable for repairing the formation flags when He Han came.

"Greetings, Zhou Shixiong He!" Zhou Qing bowed.

As the second disciple of the Sect Master, He Han looked at Zhou Qing with a complex expression at this moment.

Building the foundation with Heavenly Dao Qi, yet without the slightest trace of showing off, he was chatting and laughing with them on weekdays.

Quietly forming the core, only to have it shattered by others. Most people would have been devastated by such a blow, but he was good, actually able to start body refining with a normal heart.

After taking the relic elixir and recovering his cultivation, he formed the Nascent Soul without a sound.

He killed four of the five great prodigies of Cangyan Dao Palace.

Just this state of mind was not something he could compare to.

Now he was only in the late Nascent Soul stage, and even Big Zhou Shixiong Li Daoxuan had gone out to find his own realm of understanding, but this one before him could already kill Yu Ziqi, who had initially mastered a realm of understanding, by his own strength.

Looking at Zhou Qing at this moment, a sense of awe arose spontaneously.

He Han returned the salute and said: "I didn't want to disturb you, but the other party specifically asked to see you."

"Who wants to see me?" Zhou Qing was puzzled.

He Han said: "You'll know when you go to Divine Peak."

Zhou Qing had to nod, and Yan Xiaohu, who had just wandered here, seeing He Han playing riddles, also became curious.

Afterward, the three went together.

After entering the reception hall of Divine Peak, Zhou Qing saw at a glance the burly man sitting in the chair next to him, with a black tail behind his buttocks swaying slightly, revealing a unique demonic aura.

"It's him!" Zhou Qing was secretly surprised.

The Soul Formation realm Demon King of Canglan Mountain. After the Golden-Winged Great Peng flew out, he was the first to rush down, and only then did others know that the Soul Formation realm could also enter, and they rushed down one after another.

But he shouldn't have seen himself. After all, when he retreated with Master and the others, he hadn't come yet.

By the time he returned and hid in the dark, he had seen him.

"Greetings, Senior Uncle, Senior Aunt, greetings, Senior!" Zhou Qing first bowed to the Sect Master and several Peak Masters, and then bowed to the burly man with a human body and monkey tail.

Before Cao Zhengyang could speak, this Demon King stood up, walked to Zhou Qing with big strides, looked him up and down, his eyes revealing a sense of scrutiny, and then asked: "You are Zhou Qing?"

Zhou Qing said: "Returning to Senior, it is the junior!"

"Haha, well done. Although I don't participate in the slaughter between your five sects, along the way, your name has been like thunder in my ears. Eight out of ten people are talking about you."

The other party laughed heartily, his eyes full of appreciation.

Cao Zhengyang introduced: "Zhou Qing, this is the master of Canglan Mountain—Senior Hou Shan, a Great Perfection Soul Formation realm expert."

Zhou Qing bowed again: "Greetings, Senior Hou."

Hou Shan waved his hand, looking impatient: "You humans have too many cumbersome rituals. We haven't said two words, and this child has already bowed twice. I, Hou Shan, have always been straightforward in doing things and speaking. I hate this set the most."

Cao Zhengyang couldn't help but smile awkwardly. Old Hou's temper was truly as straightforward as ever, but it was understandable. Demon cultivators were mostly this kind of casual personality, unlike humans who paid attention to so many rituals.

"The matter is like this, Brother Hou this time..."

"Let me say it!" Before Cao Zhengyang could finish, Hou Shan interrupted, then looked at Zhou Qing: "I heard you went to Canglan Mountain this time. You should know what happened specifically. Damn it, I just came out to join the fun, but my home was stolen."

Hou Shan started cursing as soon as he said this.

Such an unpretentious personality made Zhou Qing want to laugh but not dare to.

Of course, he soon understood the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that after Senior Hou Shan heard the movement that day, he ordered several Nascent Soul realm Demon Commanders to guard the cave, and he came alone to seek an opportunity.

But he didn't expect that he didn't get a single bird feather in the abyss. After returning home, the holy medicine he had guarded for a thousand years—the Fusang Fusang Lingkui—was stolen.

The Fusang Fusang Lingkui was raised bit by bit by Senior Hou Fei with countless spirit liquid and Yang fire. It was crucial for his next cultivation. It was no exaggeration to say it was the key to his advancement.

Of course, it was the same for humans. Maybe some late Soul Formation realm experts would be able to break through to Great Perfection in one fell swoop if they could take it.

Of course, he left a wisp of divine sense on it, which could vaguely sense it. Once someone refines it, they will definitely be marked for a hundred days.

And this hundred-day time was enough for him to find the other party and deal with them properly by relying on that connection.

In his anger, Senior Hou Fei first targeted the five major sects, so he had been searching in the dark for this whole year.

But strangely, that wisp of divine sense was still there, but he just couldn't find it.

And looking at the situation, it wasn't in the five major sects. As for those small sects, it was even more impossible; they didn't have the

Seeing that the other party would not refine it, he grew anxious, because in his perception, the life force of the Fusang Fusang Lingkui would wither in another half a year, becoming a completely dead plant.

Having no other choice, he came to seek help from the Taiqingmen.

Before the war between the five sects began, they would hold a trial at Mount Canglan every sixty years. As the host, he would naturally provide certain conveniences, and even dispatch some demonic beasts to participate and assist in the smooth progress of the trial.

Moreover, in many past events, he had helped out significantly; for this, the five sects owed him a great favor.

This time, it was time to repay that favor.

"The true great war between the five sects, to put it bluntly, is actually a duel between the Taiqingmen and the Cangyan Dao Palace. You two are the giants. As luck would have it, a year ago at Mount Canglan, apart from those few in the Soul Severance realm, only your two houses had appeared at the very beginning."

Hou Fei said this, turned his head, and looked straight at Cao Zhengyang, his eyes revealing a hint of scrutiny.

"I have reason to suspect that it was one of your two houses that did it. I, Hou Shan, am not an unreasonable person, but I must admit that when it comes to playing tricks, I am no match for you humans. However, you should also be clear that we dozen brothers look out for and help each other."

Senior Hou Fei's voice gradually deepened, carrying a hint of a threat.

"If I cannot find the Fusang Fusang Lingkui, that cuts off my, Hou Shan's, future path. If my path is cut off, then no one should expect to have an easy time, let alone the fact that you still owe me a favor."

As Hou Fei said this, he let out a cold snort, and a majestic pressure was instantly released from his body, sweeping toward the surroundings.

Everyone present had their expressions change slightly.
