There are many places in the world that cannot be explored. Even powerful countries like the Song Dynasty cannot easily explore them. These unknown places are collectively called outside the territory.
What is outside the territory? There are ancient records in the deep palaces of the Song Dynasty. Countless years ago, the World Master fought alone against the Demon Saint and the Ghost Emperor. He injured the Ghost Emperor and defeated the Demon Saint. The two of them were sent outside the territory by the World Master, and the gate to the outside world has been sealed ever since.
According to records, the territory outside the territory should be the territory of the Ghost King and the Demon Saint. However, many years ago, the Song people defeated the people of the Wu clan who had been enemies for many years and expelled the people of the Wu clan to the far west.
It is said that people from the Wu clan have the power to reach the sky. The great wizard of the Wu clan opened a passage to the outside of the territory in the far west and sent some people from the Wu clan into it. It may be considered that there are also people from the Wu clan outside the territory.
These are records to begin with and are not true. Although there have been rumors in recent years that the door to the outside world will be opened within ten years, these are just rumors. At least there is no clear statement issued by the palace.
At this time, the Imperial Master of the Song Dynasty and the Emperor of the Song Dynasty were extremely entangled over this matter. The wordless jade biscuit was a rare object that could know the world but could not explore the situation outside the territory.
"Where was that man last seen?" His Majesty the young emperor suddenly asked again.
The Imperial Master pondered for a moment and sighed: "The place where it disappeared was near Qingming Valley in Yongle County, but it has been many days since then. I don't know if it can still be found."
"Sir, are you sure it's really that person?"
Hearing His Majesty's sudden question, the Imperial Master looked slightly startled, his heart suddenly tightened, and he said harmoniously: "It is indeed that person. I seem to have met him once."
"Is this really true?" The emperor's expression suddenly changed, and he said in a deep voice: "However, our Song Dynasty has a territory of thousands of miles, hundreds of millions of people, and a rich and powerful country. How can we be afraid of the opening of the gate outside the territory?"
The Imperial Master's calm face changed again, and he secretly thought, the hexagrams showed that the emperor was blocking the way, and our country, the Song Dynasty, would be destroyed. Your Majesty is still immersed in the dream of a great power, but you don't know that the power in the palace is already in jeopardy.
"The day before yesterday, another group of people from the Wu tribe were stationed at the border." The national master said softly.
Seemingly impatient, His Majesty the Emperor casually gave an order: "Send General Shangguan to guard the place. Remember to ask him to bring a few jars of Monan Old Wine for me when he comes back."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
The Imperial Master silently looked at the departing figure, let out a heavy sigh, and murmured: "We, the Song Dynasty, cannot escape this disaster, we cannot escape this disaster."
…
There are light blue skies, soft white clouds, and soaring birds.
There are endless green grass here, and a river with colorful fish and colorful stones in the water.
There is one person lying on the shore and another person sitting.
The person lying there was a young man. He was dressed in white, and his hair was red, like a flame, extremely dazzling. He was holding a rusty broken sword in his hand. He was breathing heavily, so it looked extremely heavy.
Sitting next to him was an old man with a gray beard and a smiling face. He looked very friendly. He was holding a long pole as if he was fishing.
Suddenly, the water surface shook, and a water wave hit the bottom. The old man waved his hand, and the water wave immediately dissipated, and then the water wave turned into stars and water droplets, falling into the water.
Maybe a few drops of water hit Su Fan's face, disturbing his sweet dream, or maybe a violent noise woke him up, but in short, he was slowly opening his eyes.
The extremely ordinary blue sky and white clouds came into my eyes again. There was no question about what was wrong with it, but I slowly stood up and was about to leave.
The old man did not look at Su Fan, but asked calmly: "Where are you going? You will die if you can't walk ten steps from here."
Su Fan stopped and turned around to walk towards the old man. Suddenly his expression changed drastically and he exclaimed: "Senior Ku."
The old man nodded calmly and continued to focus on the pole in the water without speaking to Su Fan.
Su Fan could hardly suppress the surprise in his heart and asked hurriedly: "Where did Ruoyu go? Isn't she here?"
The old man shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "I saved you, not her. Besides, she killed you back then."
Su Fan paused slightly and asked calmly: "I'm afraid there was a reason why she wanted to kill me back then."
The old man finally showed a gratified smile, and he laughed and said: "Of course there is a reason. When I broke through the cultivation level, I was attacked by those bastards from Tianyuan County. As a result, I was captured by the Imperial City. They threatened to kill you.
Let me go."
The relief was reflected in Su Fan's expectant eyes. For many years, she had been wondering why Fan Ruoyu let go of her, and she had tried to excuse her countless times, but those were all her own words and she couldn't believe it.
Now that someone has finally confirmed a certain excusable suspicion, he is naturally extremely relaxed at this moment. In surprise, he quickly asked: "I wonder where Ruoyu is now."
The old man was silent for a moment and said casually: "Don't be anxious. After everyone takes the bait, I will take you there naturally."
"Senior, are you fishing?" Su Fan asked curiously.
The old man frowned slightly and said angrily: "Fishing? How can I catch such vulgar things? What I am fishing for is a dragon."
"Dragon?" Su Fan shook his head in confusion and asked, "What dragon?"
Suddenly, there was a turbulence in the water, and the water surface, which was not wide at first, suddenly became turbid. A few fish jumped up from the water surface, and then floated on the water surface with their white bellies turned over.
The old man stood up suddenly, then struggled to pull the fishing rod back, still nagging: "Little one, I have been waiting for you for more than four years, and I finally caught you."
Su Fan looked at that scene in surprise and was extremely shocked. The rolling water was just like the scene in the ancestral hall in Qingming Valley.
As the old man moved backwards, a dragon's head gradually appeared, then its body, and finally its tail. A dragon that was a hundred feet long actually appeared in a small river that was not that big, and was even fished out.
The old man glared at Su Fan angrily and shouted softly: "Move him, let's go home."
Su Fan hurried forward, dragging the big dragon and quickly keeping up with the old man's pace.
The dragon is very big and heavy, but it is not too heavy for Su Fan. It is not strange for a practitioner to be as strong as an ox, not to mention that Su Fan's physique has also changed slightly at this moment.
"Senior, how did you catch this dragon?" Su Fan asked curiously.
The old man smiled proudly and said calmly: "If you want to catch a dragon, you must have suitable bait, a strong enough fishing line, and of course a qualified fishing rod."
Su Fan hurriedly asked: "Dragon is a natural creature. Who knows what can tempt it? What kind of fishing line can it not be broken by the dragon? As for the fishing rod, I'm afraid all the branches in the world are not worthy of fishing."
Dragon bar."
The old man closed his eyes slightly, glanced at Su Fan sarcastically, and said with a smile: "So what about heavenly objects? I am also brave enough to fight against the heavenly tribulation, let alone fishing for dragons."
Su Fan slowly lowered his head when he heard the battle against the heavenly tribulation. After all, he was a person who had fought against the heavenly tribulation, but he did not dare to go fishing for a dragon. Such a strange and dangerous thing.
"To fish for dragons, of course, you need to use dragon fishing bait, and the bait is made of souls. And my fishing line is made of dragon tendons, so naturally it can be pulled continuously. As for my fishing rod, it is taken from the giant tree that supports the sky.
The qualifications are sufficient.”
Hearing that this person had an extraordinary origin, but it was only because of the items in the sky, Su Fan felt as if he was in the sky, and asked unconsciously: "Senior, may I ask where this is?"
The old man suddenly sighed and said: "This is outside the territory,... I know you haven't heard of it, but it doesn't matter, I will tell you."
"Outside the territory is the place outside the territory of the Song Dynasty, but you definitely don't know it, and it's not your fault. People who always stay in a small place like Yongle County will never see how big the outside world is."
Being looked down upon, Su Fan could only bear it silently and nodded hurriedly in response.
"There are everyone here, but there are rules here. Of course, whoever has the biggest fist has the rules, so you better not walk around casually."
"In the few years since I came here, I have fought countless battles and killed people who could fill the river. Of course, this is not something you can do."
"This is a place where there are as many people as dogs in the late stage of Yuanying, and people with transformed minds are everywhere. With your cultivation level in the early stage of Yuanying,... no, I seem to feel a trace of the power of the Heavenly Tribulation in you."
"Of course, even if you have an unexpected encounter and swallow up a catastrophe, it will be useless. The gap in realm cannot be wiped out. You still have to be careful and listen to me in everything."
Su Fan nodded anxiously and asked softly: "Is it possible that senior knew that I was coming here and you just waited for me again?"
The old man seemed to have been exposed. His face turned slightly red and he hurriedly covered it up: "I am here to catch dragons, why would I come to this remote place for you?"
Su Fan was stunned and said softly: "Senior, what are you doing fishing for dragons?"
"Can I still raise him?" the old man said angrily impatiently: "Of course I will catch him and eat it. I haven't eaten dragon meat for a long time."
"Eat dragon meat"
Su Fan suddenly turned back and glanced at the dragon, his indifferent expression still showed a proud look, completely unaware that he might become someone else's food in the next moment.
"The dragon is a fairy beast. If you take a lot of supplements, I will definitely let you try it later." The old man smiled knowingly.
Recalling that I was chased all over the street by a wild beast, and yet someone was able to capture a fairy beast and eat it, the anger in my heart suddenly increased.
"I don't know how far it is from Yongle County."
Hearing Su Fan's question, the old man's face suddenly darkened and he said in a cold voice: "I want to go back as soon as I come here. This place is thousands of miles away from the Song Dynasty. If you want to fly back, I'm afraid it will take you nearly ten thousand years."
Su Fan's heart sank, and he secretly wondered what Yu Ming would do if he met Fengshan in Qingming Valley, and Xue Yun, who also got into the water column at that time, but now he doesn't know where he is.
Thinking of this, Su Fan asked again: "When senior found me, did he find anyone else?"
The old man seemed to be angry with Su Fan and did not want to answer his words anymore. He said indifferently: "No, I just saw you alone."
With no choice but to shake his head, thinking that he would see Fan Ruoyu later, all the unhappiness in his heart immediately disappeared.
"Hurry up, it's just ahead." As he said that, the old man raised his hand and pointed to a village in the distance.
