Ch 99: The Tianxuan Forbidden Zone
When Li Hanzhou felt the radiance, he also felt a gentle breeze.
Immediately afterward, Li Hanzhou was surprised to find that he had somehow left the dark Bronze Ancient Road, and now he was in a wilderness.
Glancing around, the wilderness stretched in all directions.
There was nothing.
Only a dirt road lay beneath his feet.
Extending into the distance.
It was unknown where it led.
“What a weird place,” Li Hanzhou looked around, there was nothing, but the spiritual power in this Heaven and Earth was normal.
He looked at the weather; dark clouds were gathering.
Li Hanzhou wanted to calculate the location of the Spring of Immortality, but after deduction, he could only deduce that the Spring of Immortality was ahead; the exact distance, however, he couldn’t calculate.
In any case, he had already entered, Li Hanzhou decided to continue forward and see what this Tianxuan Forbidden Zone was all about.
Li Hanzhou walked for half an hour, and gradually some mountain ranges and ancient trees appeared. The ancient trees here gave a deathly aura, and even the leaves were rarely black and white.
Just as Li Hanzhou was about to pick a leaf to examine it, suddenly, the sound of a bell came from behind him.
Li Hanzhou looked back, his pupils involuntarily constricting.
In Li Hanzhou’s vision, a donkey cart appeared.
On the donkey cart, there was a Bald Old Man driving.
Li Hanzhou’s heart was very shocked. This was the Tianxuan Forbidden Zone; there was actually someone here?
From this old man, Li Hanzhou did not sense any True Qi fluctuations. Was he an ordinary person?
“Young man,” the cart-driving old man came to Li Hanzhou’s side, a somewhat unnatural smile on his face: “It’s going to get dark; don’t wander around outside. If you walk this slowly, you won’t reach Qingfeng Town before dark. Shall I give you a ride?”
“That would be great,” Li Hanzhou said with a smile, “Then I won’t be polite, old man.”
“Get on,” the Bald Old Man nodded, allowing Li Hanzhou to sit at the back of the donkey cart.
The bell rang.
Li Hanzhou continued forward in the donkey cart.
Along the way, Li Hanzhou tried to sound out the old man, but the old man spoke little, and barely answered Li Hanzhou’s questions, making Li Hanzhou feel a little bored.
“We’re almost there.”
At this time, the Bald Old Man said.
Li Hanzhou looked ahead and found that a town had indeed appeared.
“Qingfeng Town.”
Li Hanzhou read the large sign at the entrance of the town.
Li Hanzhou entered the town with the old man.
This town felt very ancient; few people could be seen on the streets. Even when people were seen, they were busy with something unknown, their movements stiff and unnatural.
Everything felt weird.
“Young man, it’s about to get dark; don’t stay out. Find a place to stay,” the Bald Old Man glanced at Li Hanzhou and said.
“Old man, your house…” Li Hanzhou wanted to say he would stay at the old man’s house, but before he finished speaking, the old man immediately said: “My house is small; it can’t accommodate you.”
After saying this, he was about to drive away.
Leaving Li Hanzhou a little embarrassed.
“Go to the Zhou Family; their house is big,” the old man said to Li Hanzhou as he left.
“The Zhou Family?”
Li Hanzhou walked around the town for a while before finally seeing a large mansion with two large characters on it.
Zhou Mansion.
At this moment, the Zhou Mansion’s gates were tightly closed, and there was silence all around, as if no one was there. At the same time, Li Hanzhou saw white lanterns hanging in front of the Zhou Mansion.
“Someone died?”
Li Hanzhou was somewhat puzzled, but still went forward and knocked on the door.
“Is anyone there?”
After a long while, the gates of the Zhou Mansion slowly opened, revealing a pale face.
It was also an elderly man; his gaze fixed on Li Hanzhou, the kind of gaze that could make one’s hair stand on end.
“Who are you looking for?”
The voice was very unpleasant.
Like fingernails scraping a blackboard, a sound squeezed out from his throat, making Li Hanzhou frown.
“I’m passing through, and it’s getting late; I would like to request lodging for a night, if possible?” Li Hanzhou politely asked.
“Come in.”
The old man gave a strange smile and beckoned to Li Hanzhou.
“Thank you.”
Li Hanzhou went inside.
“Let her take you to the guest room.” The old man beckoned, and at this time, an old woman in simple clothes came from afar, holding a cat. Her eyes, in Li Hanzhou’s view, seemed very much like the cat’s.
“Guest, this way please,” the Old Woman said to Li Hanzhou.
“Meow.”
The black cat also meowed.
However, when Li Hanzhou looked at the black cat, he found that it had human eyes.
It looked very strange.
Li Hanzhou pretended not to see it. He looked around the Zhou Mansion on the way; the Zhou Mansion was very large, one could say very wealthy.
But Li Hanzhou was also looking at the Feng Shui of the Zhou Mansion.
Li Hanzhou found that the Feng Shui of the Zhou Mansion was very good.
However, this goodness was not for the living.
As a tomb for the dead, the Feng Shui here was indeed excellent.
A place that gathers Yin energy.
The white lanterns hanging in the mansion made it feel eerie.
“We’re here.”
The Old Woman looked back at Li Hanzhou and said, “Guest, you’ll stay here. I must warn you, don’t go out after dark; it’s not safe at night.”
“Thank you.”
Li Hanzhou nodded.
The Old Woman left with the black cat, but Li Hanzhou saw that the black cat kept looking back at him with a strange gaze.
“What a strange cat,” Li Hanzhou walked into his room.
The room looked clean and simple.
Li Hanzhou lay on the bed, slowly closing his eyes, pondering the matters of the Tianxuan Forbidden Zone. From the moment he entered, everything felt weird.
He hadn’t found the Spring of Immortality yet.
And he still didn’t know who was looking for him.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Li Hanzhou decided to cultivate for a while to rest and recover his strength.
The Northern Emperor Art began to operate. After cultivating to the Fourth Level, the speed of Li Hanzhou’s spiritual power operation became faster and faster, and he vaguely felt a sense of communication with Heaven and Earth.
While operating the Northern Emperor Art, Li Hanzhou also used his recently acquired experience to try a new operating route for the Northern Emperor Art.
In this way, he didn’t know how long it had passed.
Suddenly, the sound of opera singing entered Li Hanzhou’s ears.
Li Hanzhou recovered from his cultivation state. He subconsciously glanced out the window and found that it was pitch black outside.
“Judging by the time, it’s almost midnight,” Li Hanzhou estimated in his heart.
“Hmm?”
“Who’s singing opera?” Li Hanzhou found that the sound of the opera singing was becoming clearer.
But the sound of the opera singing was somewhat frightening.
Within the sound, there was a sense of misery.
Looking out the window, Li Hanzhou found that a red radiance was emanating from the Zhou Mansion.
Large red lanterns were hanging in front of the gate.
As if, someone was getting married?
