"What is it?" Zhuo Zhan raised his hand and asked cautiously.

Bai Di smiled slightly, looked into the distance, and said leisurely: "In the fields of Zhuyao, the flower of Nv Chou's palace education is about to bloom."

Zhuo Zhan was confused and had no idea what Bai Di was talking about. He glanced at his companions next to him, Duan Fei and Zhuangzi, who were even more confused.

However, when he glanced at Chi in front of the hall, he found that Chi's bun face was twisted into shape, and her two round eyes were filled with fear. And Bai Lan'er next to her had a face ashen as death.

, the whole person was as dull as if he had lost his soul.

Zhuo Zhan's heart skipped a beat, thinking that something must have happened to him. He calmed down his turbulent mood, lowered his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Reporting to the emperor, Zhuo Zhan is a foreigner from a remote country in China, and has never heard of what the emperor said.

In the wilderness of Zhuyao, Nv Chou... Nv Chou is a flower raised in the palace, please let the emperor express it clearly."

Before Zhuo Zhan finished speaking, roaring laughter erupted in the hall. The sorcerers opposite laughed especially violently. The laughter was like a ghost crying and a wolf howling, heartbreaking and very human.

The laughter made Zhuo Zhan's scalp tingle, and a chill instantly spread all over his body.

Bai Di also smiled coldly, looked at Tu Yiyu next to him, and said calmly: "Chinese pharmacist, it's up to you to explain it to Zhuo Qing."

Tu Yiyu stared at Zhuo Zhan, and moved arrogantly to the center of the hall, facing Zhuo Zhan with a gloomy head, and proudly said: "Foreign barbarians, young and arrogant, don't even know the wilderness of Zhu Yao

, you still dare to come out and stir up trouble. Let me tell you what this Zhuyao Wilderness is like."

The "Zhuyao Wilderness" mentioned by Baidi and Tu Yiyu is an area in the northwest corner of Xishan Mountain that connects with the Yaochi natural moat.

The wilderness of Zhuyao is full of Gobi desert, windy and sandy, and inaccessible.

The reason why this place is famous among the Five Directions and Five Mountains is because a corpse was buried here, a corpse of a human and god with strong resentment and curse.

The owner of this corpse is the ugly woman.

Nv Chou was originally a god of grain who transformed into a god, and was enshrined and believed by the hungry refugees. Later, as Nv Chou's divine power increased, her desires became more and more swollen, and she actually fought the Xia Guang Zong due to jealousy.

It was Shen Gunxi's idea. She did not hesitate to use her divine power to destroy the beautiful Gunxi, and took the ray of Shenbao's glow from Gunxi's death as her own. She wanted to become a powerful human god of life and beauty.

Nv Chou's god-killing retrograde caused the Yellow River to change its course, floods reversed, dams burst, tens of thousands of hungry people's homes were destroyed and displaced, and mourning flooded the plains on both sides of the Yellow River.

Empress Nuwa was so furious that she summoned the ten sons of the Emperor of Heaven, the ten golden suns, to punish the gods. The ugly woman kept running away, and the ten suns kept chasing her.

Keep chasing. Finally, in the place of Zhuyao Wilderness, Nv Chou was surrounded and had no way to escape. She was roasted alive by the ten suns hanging high in the sky.

Before she died, the ugly woman turned her inflated desires and unwillingness into a powerful curse, which was deeply rooted in the land where she was buried, making it impossible for the world to live in peace for the rest of their lives.

She integrated her body with the earth, and used her grain-fed radiance and the divine rays of light she received from Gun Xi to turn into the longevity fruit and elixir of life, luring the greedy world to fight for their lives.

Even kill each other.

In order to quell this evil resentment that was causing harm to the world, Empress Nuwa used a temple to seal the ugly girl underneath, leaving her free of ordinary dust and chaos.

The Bagua sealing technique follows the time division of heaven and earth, and the reincarnation of the sun and the moon. Every sixty years is a cycle, and the cycle repeats endlessly.

However, at each stall with a ring of nails, Nv Chou's flower of palace education will bloom when the seal is at its weakest, and it is said that the longevity fruit and elixir of life will appear at this time.

Therefore, every sixty years, people with obsessions and greed will go to the wilds of Zhuyao to get the legendary longevity fruit and elixir. But those who can get the longevity fruit and elixir will also be deeply moved.

Trapped in the clutches of the devil, narrowly escaped death.

When Tu Yiyu finished telling the story of the flowers in Zhuyaozhiye and Nvchugong Palace, Zhuo Zhan instantly understood that what Baidi wanted was the longevity fruit and elixir. Baidi lived for one hundred and twelve years.

At the age of ten, although his vitality is maintained by the care of a sorcerer, a person like him who longs for eternal life must want to get it once and for all. This longevity fruit and elixir are probably what he has only dreamed of.

Bai Di stared at the stunned Zhuo Zhan and said leisurely: "Sixty years ago, I sent nine sons to lead an army of 100,000 to the wilderness of Zhuyao. I also promised that whoever can bring back any of the longevity fruit and elixir of life.

So I passed the throne of Xishan to him. But my nine sons and one hundred thousand troops all died in the wilds of Zhuyao. Without my son, I can only sit on the throne myself. Zhuo Qing, I am a widower.

Are you willing to fulfill this wish?"

Zhuo Zhan paled when he heard this, and thin beads of cold sweat broke out on his forehead and palms.

Zhuo Zhan took a deep breath, tremblingly held up his hands, and said sincerely: "Zhuo Zhan is afraid that he will not be able to shoulder the heavy expectations because of his lack of skills. Sixty years of waiting and opportunities have fallen on Zhuo Zhan alone. Zhuo Zhan may not be able to take on big responsibilities. I hope

Emperor, think twice!"

The white-robed and black-faced warlock just now said sharply: "If a person with powerful witchcraft power comparable to the power of the Red Emperor of Nanshan cannot obtain it, then no one in this world can find one."

Chong Yuan, who was glowing with oil, also stood up quickly and added insult to injury: "Yes, Emperor, such a talented person actually came to our Xishan at this time. This is God's will. This is the Emperor's luck and Xishan's blessing!"

Bai Di suddenly became happy, looked at Zhuo Zhan meaningfully, and asked forcefully: "Why, you... don't want that stone that Jiang Youguo left behind, which is more important than your life?"

"No!" Zhuo Zhan blurted out, and then his heart palpitated again. After a moment, he still said those two words with difficulty: "...want to..."

Emperor Bai was very satisfied with Zhuo Zhan's answer. He stroked his white beard lightly and said calmly: "Then Zhuo Qing will go to the wilds of Zhuyao on my behalf, bring back what I want, and redeem what you deserve."

At this time, Zhuo Zhan was already a piece of meat on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and respond first: "Okay... Zhuo Zhan... Zhuo Zhan takes the order."

"Brother Zhuo, don't go, you will all die!" In the royal family's seat in front of the palace, Bai Laner, who was dressed in simple clothes, suddenly stood up and shouted in horror.

Everyone in the hall was shocked by her exclamation. Everyone was too angry to speak out. They stared at Bai Lan'er and Bai Di on the golden steps.

Bai Di's face, which was rosy just now, suddenly became livid.

In an instant, he flicked his sleeves, and a gust of wind whistled past. Bai Laner and the desk in front of her were lifted up and fell heavily to the ground.

Pan Chang and Chi Dahai, who were next to them, hurriedly helped Bai Laner who fell to the ground.

"Evil!" Bai Di was furious, his eyes like a leopard's.

However, what was unexpected was that Pan Chang, who had just helped Bai Lan'er up, rushed out with a single stride and stood beside Zhuo Zhan awe-inspiring. Su Rong cupped his hands and said, "Father, Pan Chang is willing to work with brother Zhuo Zhan."

Go to the wilderness of Zhuyao to search for the longevity fruit and the elixir of life for my father, and hope that my father will fulfill his wish."

Zhuo Zhan was astonished. He looked at Pan Chang's resolute face and fiery eyes with confusion, but he couldn't see a trace of timidity or hesitation.

"Brother Changpan, no, no!" Bai Laner cried, heartbreakingly. She struggled to rush onto the carpet, but was hugged tightly by Chi.

However, Pan Zhang seemed not to have heard anything and kept standing in the center of the hall, as if made of iron, without moving an inch.

"You?" Bai Di narrowed his eyes and stared at Pan Chang for a long time. After a while, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then nodded slowly: "Okay, okay. You have this filial piety,

My father is very happy. Yes, yes! However, you have to remember that your life is very important. My father and Lan'er are waiting for you."

Bai Di's last words were spoken slowly and heavily, clearly as passionate as fire, yet as cold and frosty, as if he was caring, but also as a warning and threat.

Zhuo Zhan was stunned for a moment, not knowing what these two people meant.

After a long time, Pan Chang clasped his fists heavily, as if he had made a great determination, and shouted loudly: "Pan Chang understands."

Bai Di regained his joyful expression just now. He looked at Bai Lan'er, whose face was filled with tears, and said kindly: "Lan'er, I was anxious for my father just now, and I was too harsh. Don't take it personally."

Bai Lan'er raised her sleeves and wiped the tears from her face, shook her head, and forced out a smile: "Father, the words are serious, it's all Lan'er's fault. Lan doesn't know the importance and has broken the etiquette. How can I hope that my father will do it?"

The king forgives.”

Bai Di stared at the pitiful Bai Lan'er, smiled, and said kindly: "Lan'er, my father loves you the most. You, please don't disappoint me."

Zhuo Zhan frowned, thinking that this Bai Emperor always talked about Bai Lan'er being the most beloved, but what he felt was not the same. It seemed that in addition to being selfish and greedy, this Bai Emperor also had to add

A forgery was made.

But what Zhuo Zhan couldn't figure out was that Pan Chang was so eager to win credit and perform. Could it be that he wanted to defend Bai Lan'er in front of Emperor Bai? It is conceivable that Bai Lan'er married Chang Pan.

Moving out of the palace and living in a cottage at the foot of the mountain must have caused quite a stir in the palace and even the temple, and it will definitely be criticized by others. Pan Chang's behavior today is understandable.

However, this Zhuyao Wilderness is not an ordinary place and is extremely dangerous. When Bai Laner learned that Zhuo Zhan and the others were going, they all came out to stop them regardless of their own safety. This shows that this trip is bound to be dangerous. However, Pan Chang ignored Bai Laner's feelings and

Zhuo Zhan couldn't understand the insistence on asking for life. After a few days of brief interaction, Zhuo Zhan concluded that Bai Laner and Pan Chang really loved each other and had a deep affection. At this time, such a drama of "life and separation" was going on. What happened?

Why?

Such a thought flashed through Zhuo Zhan's mind, but it was only a flash. Because now he is also in a deep quagmire and cannot protect himself, so how can he have the mind to worry about other people's affairs? It is better to think about this carefully.

How can I save my life when I go to the wilderness of Zhuyao?

The lights of the palace were still brilliant, but after the crowd dispersed, the main hall was cold and empty.

The White Emperor of Xishan Bai Zhao refused to sit alone on the high dragon chair, longing for the dream of eternal life.

On the dark mountain road, the people walking down silently felt dejected and lonely.

From time to time, I would pass by those alien warlocks around me, and their gloating and pitiful eyes were really unpleasant.

Duan Fei was angry and took the lead to quickly go down the mountain. Others followed suit and fled the mountain road full of needles as quickly as possible.

In the middle of the night, there was a bit of wind, and the clothes that were not thick clung to my body, making me shrink a bit from the cold. The thatched cottage without lights was still elegant, but as the wind blew, it felt unexpectedly desolate, making people feel even colder.

.

Bai Lan'er, who had been silent all this time, suddenly burst out crying, and then started wailing unbridled. The cry was shrill and distant, echoing in the desolate cold night, piercing people's hearts.

Pan Chang's eyes flickered, but he did not shed tears. He picked up Bai Lan'er, who was squatting on the ground and crying, and held her tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to melt her into his body.

"I'm leaving. Wait for me at home." Pan Chang's deep voice was choked with sobs.

Bai Lan'er did not blame him for his impulsiveness and wanton behavior. She just clung to Pan Chang's chest, feeling the familiar temperature, and wailed: "But...but we have to be separated for a long, long time...

"

Pan Chang's shoulders shook slightly, and he hugged Bai Lan'er's body tighter.

Yes, this loving couple who didn't want to be separated for even an hour had to separate, and they would have to be separated for a long time, maybe for a lifetime.

Zhuo Zhan sighed deeply and looked up at the sky.
