At the border between the Sacred Wave Domain and the Sacrificial Moon Domain, there were some scattered small mortal countries. At the same time, there were some markets for people who came out of the river.
After all, if outsiders entered the Sacrificial Moon Domain, as long as they didn't stay for too long, they wouldn't be affected by the curse, so there was some trade between them.
As for the border, it was actually a majestic long river.
The river was called Sacrificial Yin, and it surrounded the entire Sacrificial Moon Domain.
The river water was red all year round, like blood. Even the smell was the same. Occasionally, the wind would blow across the river, blowing the smell of blood to the shore and spreading in all directions.
For those who didn't know all this, after smelling this smell, they would instinctively be vigilant, but as they got closer to this area, most of the passersby were used to it.
Xu Qing's group was in the same situation.
It was obvious that the traveling merchants and armed escorts often took this route, so their expressions were normal.
Xu Qing took a whiff and was deep in thought.
In addition to the smell of blood, there was also a faint trace of Red Mother's aura.
Seeing that the captain was about to speak, Ling 'er expressionlessly took out a peach and took a bite.
This was a pit of bones.
"Good poem!"
Hearing this, the captain's eyes lit up and he praised.
The captain looked around with a look of reminiscence on his face as he sighed with emotion.
As for his right hand, a red eye floated and kept looking around.
Inside the carriage, the captain stretched lazily, lifted the curtain, looked outside, and smiled.
The team leader walked for about ten feet when he suddenly stopped. He turned around as if he had thought of something and called out loudly.
"Those are the river spirits of the Sacrificial Flower Sect. It's also the rule here that we have to give out offerings."
The captain was already prepared for this. At this moment, he waved his hand and threw a storage bag into the river.
Seeing the changes in the captain and the others, Tang Ye wasn't curious. As the seal was broken, the captain's methods gradually became more and more varied.
Ling 'er nodded. In this place, there was basically no one who knew them.
"This is the Scarlet Moon Ranch. In theory, what the Scarlet Moon can absorb, he can too. But that kind of plundering is easier to detect. If the stimulation is too great and causes him to wake up early …"
That was what they had agreed to on the way here. Now, they were at the eastern border of the Sacrificial Moon Region. If they headed east from here, they wouldn't be too far from the Sea of Heavenly Flames that Ling 'er wanted to go to.
As for the greatsword, its face was filled with anticipation. The captain didn't favor one over the other. He also patted the greatsword, which was now disguised as a boy.
During this period, they also encountered some dangers, but under the probing of this blood-eyed magic treasure imitation eyeball, they were able to avoid most of them.
Ling 'er glanced at them and gave them her blessings in her heart. Then, she looked at the captain.
It was a replica of Xue Tong's forbidden magic treasure.
The long river surged towards the south. The smell of blood was incomparably thick here. Vaguely, one could see skeletons moving up and down in the river. These were the remains of those who had tried to escape from the Sacrificial Moon Region.
The ground here was dark white.
The captain also frowned. I knew that the bloodline in the jade slip was extraordinary, but I never imagined that the river spirit would ask for a second sacrifice here.
"Eldest Senior Brother, let me try.
"
Ning Yan also fell silent.
This was Zhang Ba's evil plan.
After the captain finished speaking, he raised his left hand and grabbed at the void. A fan appeared. He opened it with a whoosh and fanned it a few times, looking relaxed.
"The living beings of the Sacrificial Moon Region are not food at the moment they are born."
The captain said fiercely.
Soon, under their attacks, some of the hair was shattered and returned to the river.
"This is the identity of Xu Qing. It can be used as a guide. The various races in the Sacrificial Moon Region are chaotic, so you need a guide to go anywhere. Yin Yang Wu Jianwu is there. Because he is in charge of the Sacrificial Dance of the Red Moon Temple, he is considered a large sect. He is a tiger skin!
"
In the blink of an eye, the countless blood-colored hair converged and outlined a figure that was thousands of feet tall.
The huge figure only had an outline and no flesh.
The jade slip was a little reluctant. He looked back at Ling 'er from time to time with a helpless expression.
"This damned Chen Qiniu is too much!"
The jade slip cursed in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. He was afraid of being bitten.
Walking in the mortal world was easier than casting spells to move forward.
The jade slip's expression changed.
However, he needed Ling 'er and the captain's help.
It looked like a skeleton, and it was emitting a terrifying pressure.
Tang Ye was also shocked when she received such a spirit wheel. Now that she had descended on the river, both the jade slip and the sword were shocked after seeing it.
Ling 'er murmured and stepped into the land of the two races.
"I wonder if the river spirit is delicious …" The captain looked around and felt that there might be more river spirits here, so he sighed.
"Let's go!"
The captain said and waved at Ling 'er. As Ling' er bowed to send him off, he took the jade slip and Tang Ye and walked into the distance.
"Sacrifice!"
"Sigh."
Ning Yan looked at all of this and sighed heavily. He didn't say anything, but he leaned closer to Ling 'er. It seemed that the coolness of Ling' er's body made him feel safer.
"Sacrifice!"
"Sigh."
The robes spread on the river, creating layers of ripples. Those were the sails.
As for the remaining few, when they were about to dissipate, they suddenly looked at Tang Ye at the same time.
Immediately, the fragrance flowed into the mouth of the Purple Moon Nascent Soul along the river spirit.
Just like that, time passed.
Tang Ye was silent and looked up at the god's face in the sky.
Ling 'er pretended not to see and watched the eight of them.
Tang Yecai said calmly with a proud expression.
Hearing this, Tang Ye took a few steps forward and looked at the blood-red figure in front of him.
He obviously knew it would be like this, so he wasn't surprised. However, his bitter expression gave people the feeling that he was often bullied.
"Make way.
"
Ling 'er stood on a bare mountain and looked into the distance. After identifying the location, she took out the map given by the captain, Xu Qing, and looked at it.
I wanted to come. I felt that I was very comfortable in the county capital, but I was forcefully brought to such a damned place.
In his left hand, he held a lantern that emitted a faint green light. The flames burned inside, and there were occasionally shrill screams.
That color was normal in the Sacrificial Moon Region.
As for the sword, he took a deep breath. The parrot on top of his head trembled and forgot to keep its head up.
"My father is the ruler of the heavens and the earth. Which Spirit Immortal won't submit?"
"
"If they don't come, we will hide and go to where they went to search."
"
The Sacrificial Flower Sect wasn't big, and it was very wide. With the speed of Ling 'er's spirit wheels, it only took a day to cross half of it.
What was even more strange was the old woman's hands.
Most of the mirrors were about the height of a person. The mirrors were clear and had some cracks, but Ling 'er's figure was still reflected in them.
From dozens to hundreds, until it reached thousands. There was no end in sight.
The sword had been waiting to show off his skills. He didn't have the chance on the way, so he waved his sleeve and dozens of ferocious beasts appeared around him.
Ling 'er's eyes flashed, and the Purple Moon Nascent Soul rose above his head. While it emitted waves of pressure, it also gently sucked at the river spirits.
"That area is called the Great Altar. After half a month of travel, it is a place where the two races are allied. After that, it is the Heavenly Fire Sea."
"
However, there would still be some unexpected situations.
Ling 'er looked at the captain and took Xu Qing. She could feel that the captain was very prepared this time. The other party was very hesitant about swallowing the Red Moon Heart.
Ning Yan's eyes widened and he was a little confused. The captain was beaming with joy. With little Ah Qing around, the chances of success would be infinitely high.
At the same time, the river spirits that had their fragrance sucked away looked reverent.
Sincerity.
As soon as he spoke, his eyes shone with purple light. The Purple Moon Nascent Soul in his body opened its eyes and emitted waves of pressure. It turned into a display of divinity.
"Idiot!"
When the jade slip saw this, it snorted in its heart.
On its hunched back, there were buildings built to be used as cabins.
Ling 'er smiled and nodded. Her body flashed and went straight to Yuan. Her appearance also changed. She didn't stand out as much and became more normal.
These ferocious beasts were all extraordinary. Although they looked different, their bloodlines seemed to be of the same origin. They cooperated perfectly with each other and ignored evil. It seemed that their bloodlines were of a high level.
They were different from the daytime statues of the Holy Wave Tribe. They were more like living creatures because Tang Ye could feel the river spirits' reverence in their auras.
Tang Ye put away Tang Ye and whistled forward in the dim yellow sky.
Ling 'er watched until the captain and the others disappeared into the night. Ning Yan looked expectant and spoke generously.
For example, at this moment, countless blood-red hair rushed out of the river and wrapped around the spirit wheel. It also spread rapidly toward Tang Ye and the others.
The captain winked at Ling 'er, then raised his left hand and patted his forehead. Suddenly, his body changed and turned into a handsome middle-aged cultivator. His appearance also became much more handsome.
At this moment, there were dozens of such boats on the Moon Sacrifice River. After paying a sacrifice, they were allowed to pass through. Then, they saw a scene that left them in disbelief and astonishment.
"With me here, Brother Ling 'er will not meet the demonic woman!"
"Alright."
The others quickly came down. Soon, the lantern in the old woman's hand shined and her white robe fluttered in the wind. Her figure sped across the river.
The captain's eyes widened and he muttered a few words before leaving with the two people beside him.
At this moment, they opened their mouths at the same time and were about to say their lines.
They all knelt down and bowed respectfully.
Just like that, after a brief moment of noise, Ling 'er's fierce voice echoed.
At this moment, the captain had a faint smile on his face as he patted Tang Ye's stomach. Tang Ye's body trembled and her appearance changed. She turned into a maid.
"From now on, I'm a disciple of Wu Jianwu from the Ji Yinyang Region. My name is Tian Qingzi."
"Alright."
"After so many years, I've returned to this region."
"Alright."
However, the danger wasn't over yet. The next moment, the entire river suddenly churned violently and the smell of blood became even stronger. Countless blood-red hair rushed out of the river and into the air.
"Little Ah Qing, I didn't lie to you before, right? Do you want to be like that one day?"
"Alright."
"The Wu family has 400 sons. Who dares to be arrogant in the four continents?
"Alright."
The captain patted Ling 'er's shoulder.
Some birds hid in the night sky and let out shrill cries. As for the ground, one could often see rotten bones.
"Escort."
"Yes."
"That river isn't dangerous to outsiders. As long as they give enough sacrifices, they can enter and leave. However, to the various races in the Ji Yinyang Region, it's the door to a cage."
"Yes."
A blurry voice accompanied by a loud roar came out of the giant blood-red figure's mouth. As the roar echoed, the blood river around it began to churn. The seventh, eighth, ninth …
Those guesses made everyone's hearts tremble. They had been to the Ji Yinyang Region all year round and knew that in this cursed region, all living things were sheep. Only the Red Moon Divine Temple was high above and herded for the gods.
"Then we'll split up here and meet up at the Endless Celestial Bull Mountain. No matter who arrives first, we'll wait here for a while."
"Yes."
All of this was within Ling 'er's expectations. The special environment of the Ji Yinyang Region caused death and kindness to fill this place.
There were also some who died in battle.
The sound was like thunder. He stretched out his arms and grabbed the hair that was spreading over, tearing it apart.
The river moved on its own to speed it up. The surface of the river twisted as if it was crawling. That scene made Big Sword's body tremble. While he was in a daze, the captain came to his side and hugged his neck.
He whispered.
"Could it be from the Red Moon Divine Temple?
And it's one of the higher-ups!
"
Ling 'er's expression was strange. Ning Yan's eyes widened. Jade Slip sucked in a breath. The captain's eyes shone.
"This is the smell coming from the Ji Yin River.
That river wasn't formed naturally. It was formed by the Red Mother gathering all the living things in the Ji Yinyang Region and using their blood.
"
From the scratches on the bones, it could be seen that the flesh had been cut off alive. It was obviously more convenient to eat that way.
"That's good. The sacrifices I prepared are also useful in the Ji Yinyang Region."
"
"The Red Moon Divine Temple rarely appears. This is the first time I've seen them."
"
There were thousands of bone pits here. They were arranged in the shape of a crescent moon, and in the center was an ancient altar the size of a city.
"Calculating the time, they will reach the shore at dusk today. After crossing the river for a few days, they will enter the Ji Yinyang Region."
The captain's eyes were filled with anticipation.
He knew about the Ji Yinyang Region.
Compared to the Ji Yinyang Region, the entire Ancient Gazing Continent was the same.
Jade Slip heard this and felt bitter. Big Sword's face was full of excitement. He felt that he was respected.
Ling 'er's heartbeat accelerated slightly. He instinctively felt that the fragrance was a good thing. Just as he was about to continue, a sense of danger rose in his mind, which made him immediately restrain his actions.
The place where Ling 'er and the others came ashore was a barren hill.
Big Sword definitely didn't want to, and was destined to be unable to escape the captain's clutches.
"Ling Chi."
"
That scene was vast and shocking, and naturally attracted attention.
The captain pondered and nodded.
As he swallowed, an incomparable feeling of depression appeared in Tang Ye's mind. His Purple Moon Nascent Soul also shook, and it obviously grew a little.
"Brother Ling 'er, does this count as a date between the two of us?"
"
There was even a faint trace of fragrance that he noticed after Tang Ye released the power of his Purple Moon Nascent Soul.
Tang Ye nodded and didn't say anything. He stepped onto the old woman's back and looked into the distance.
The smile on his lips, as well as the self-satisfaction in his expression, made him look even more sinister.
Ling 'er wasn't the only one going to the Ji Yinyang Region. In fact, due to the special nature of the Ji Yinyang Region, cultivators from other regions would often enter to trade.
In an instant, the fluctuations in the Ji Yinyang Region stopped and the wind stopped blowing. Everything seemed to freeze the moment Ling 'er's Purple Moon Nascent Soul appeared.
When Ning Yan heard this, he quickly came out from Tang Ye's collar.
Ling 'er felt regretful and didn't continue to try. He planned to enter the Ji Yinyang Region and see the situation before making a decision.
The parrot tilted its head up like a staff and looked around. Then, a voice could be heard.
"I see the setting sun and smoke, the waves of the river churn for 10,000 years!"
"
Compared to his unwillingness, Tang Yecai was more than willing to join this time.
"Little Junior Brother, remember, my current identity is Wei Yangzi, a disciple of the Yin Yang Shaman Wu Jianwu, your eldest senior brother!
In the next few months, this name will become famous in the Ji Yinyang Region. I think you will hear it on the way. "
"
Under the corrosion of the river, it was impossible to see what they looked like when they were alive. However, from the size of the skeletons, it was clear that there were many children among them.
Ling 'er was a bit annoyed. The other party had recited no less than 100 poems along the way. At this moment, he waved his hand and a spirit wheel appeared and landed on the river.
All of the ships instinctively came to a stop, and the Cultivators on board began to speculate about what was going on.
Just like that, under the escort of thousands of river spirits, Tang Ye's spirit wheel sped through the Ji Yinyang Region and got closer and closer to the shore.
Ling 'er didn't pay attention to any of this. He was sensing the river spirits.
"There is a curse.
"
The scene of the heavenly river merging into one color didn't give people the feeling that it was ugly, but strange and eerie.
"Little Ah Qing, this Yin Yang Tang Ye is talented.
I will go there when I have time. My identity is real. That sect focuses on the balance of Yin and Yang and harvests each other. I think Little Ah Qing, you should really go and learn. With your talent, you should be able to learn very quickly. That way, if you encounter a demoness, you will have a way to defend yourself and won't be taken advantage of! "
"
"It seems that Zhang Ba has some thoughts about Ju Ying."
"
The faces on the jade slips behind the seven people became even more bitter.
Just like that, time passed day by day.
Even though the river looked strange, it didn't affect the pride in his heart. At this moment, he stood on the shore and took a deep breath before speaking loudly.
"Greetings, Divine Envoy."
"
Soon, a dim light appeared on the ground in front of him. Many irregularly shaped mirrors rose from the ground and shone on Tang Ye.
Big Sword coughed and raised his chin. Just as he was about to speak again, he saw Ling 'er frown and quickly stopped.
She looked like a hunchbacked old woman. She was 7,000 feet tall and wore a large white robe.
Hence, they lowered their heads and waited until the thousands of river spirits were far away before they set sail again.
Tang Ye's spirit wheel was led by Zhang Ba. The elders of the eight peaks worked together to build it for him. Its appearance was completely different from his Dharmic Ship. It was even beyond the category of a boat.
It was also because he had heard about that small region that he was afraid of this place and was unwilling to go near it.
Although the jade slips were prepared for that scene, their hearts still raced.
This place was the source of power.
Thousands of human skeletons formed by blood-red hair spoke at the same time. They walked over and surrounded Tang Ye's spirit wheel. They were mighty and imposing as they escorted him forward.
In the area near the shore, Ling 'er discovered dozens of huge pits that spanned 100,000 feet. Countless bones were piled up in each of them.
Tang Ye kept his spirit wheel. The moment the group stepped onto the land, the thousands of river spirits in the Flower Offering Sect bowed toward the shore. Only then did they enter the river and disappear.
"To be protected by thousands of river spirits … What kind of identity is that?!
"
"Esteemed divine decree!"
"
"Guide!"
"
.....
Ling 'er suddenly spoke. Her voice was crisp and pleasant to the ears.
She lowered her head and looked down at Tang Ye and the others.
"Fortunately, I was well prepared that time. Although I was displeased, I still took out another storage pouch. I was about to toss it out when Tang Ye suddenly spoke.
As for what was inside, Ling 'er did not know. However, as the storage pouch fell, the figures slowly became clear until most of them disappeared.
The captain smiled at the side.
Hence, he was quickly pulled aside by the captain. After some whispering, Big Sword's eyes were filled with struggle and excitement. In the end, his excitement surpassed everything else.
However, this aura was extremely powerful. If Xu Qing did not possess the purple moon, he would not have noticed it.
The sky was dark. There was no sun, only moonlight whose source could not be seen. It shone on the entire Sacrificial Moon Region, draping a mysterious veil over the white land.
"This is the only answer. Only the Red Moon Temple has such an identity."
"
Dusk soon arrived. The sky was dyed red. It was the same color as the river that Ling 'er and the others saw.
