Chapter 173 The Long Night
"Boom!"

A deafening noise came from the north of the fortress, waking up the soldiers who were in the long night, and also waking up the ordinary civilians living in Youzhou City.

I left the house and walked onto the street. I used my hands to grab the window sill and opened the paper-covered window. There were many figures around, wondering what was going on.

Earth dragon turns over?

Mountain torrents?

His eyes were fixed towards the north, and his doubts were replaced by fear.

——The fog waves are surging, more than a hundred feet high, like a river falling from the sky, and like the roaring of a sea dragon!

It swallowed up the green mountains on both sides, the road to the north, and even the bright moon in the sky!
The golden light above the fortress became dense and substantial at this moment. Complex patterns flashed from above the golden light. Light golden runes went into the sky one after another and formed a row, forming a high wall.

There were also bursts of chanting sounds in the air:
"All things, including the ten evils and five heinous crimes, are not affected by them.

“Those without thoughts, without appearances, without sorrow, and without joy are not allowed to enter.

"The moon has fallen three hundred feet above, time has no nature, and everything is empty.

“Unseen, unapproachable, untouchable.”

The glow rose higher and higher, runes flew all over the sky, and the spiritual treasures buried underground emitted a subtle glow, transmitting energy to the fortress through the soil, forming a city-state that protected the world.

The sea of ​​fog finally collided with this golden shelter.

"Boom!!"

The earth trembled and the earth dragon turned over!
The earthquake was so severe that no one in the entire Youzhou city could stand steadily. They were all twisted and turned, and almost fell to the ground.

In King Wei's mansion, Liu Quande, who was sleeping sprawled out in the guest bedroom, suddenly fell off the bed.

He was still a little sleepy, and hurried to the window, tilting his head to look out.

The mouth opened wider and wider, and even the snake's tongue came out!

"Oh my god! What the hell is this!"

In the hall, the tea that Li Ji had brewed was spilled all over the table. The prince wanted to stand up on his knees, but because the tremor was too severe, his knees became weak. He could only hold on to the table with his hands to steady himself.

A golden light flashed in Zuo Chen's eyes, and as he lifted his Taoist robe, his whole body turned into a stream of light. He leaped out of King Wei's palace, suspended in the air, rising with the stars and stepping on the moonlight.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the layers of fog coming from afar, his Taoist robe fluttering in the wind.

The fog coming from the northwest had already covered the northern fortress. The golden barrier protected Youzhou City but could not stop the fog. The entire fog began to pour towards the rear of the fortress, like a flood that broke through a dam.

This rushing fog will move southwards with the wind, and it will probably reach Shangbao City in no time.

Zuo Chen's face condensed slightly, he formed a Taoist spell with his hands, and black and white suddenly appeared in his eyes.

The fog was as thick as the sea, dense and heavy. It was difficult to disperse the fog just by relying on the wind of spiritual energy.

However, in the Jiu'e dream, Zuo Chen learned the art of moving mountains and filling the sea, and there really was a way to deal with this kind of situation.

There are eight skills in the art of moving mountains and filling the sea: the four-direction mountain-moving technique, the four-direction sea-taking technique, which are named after the Eight Immortals, namely "carrying stones", "walking on sand", "living in mountains", "moving land", "stream rain", "against the tide", "calling for rain" and "waves". The combination of these eight methods is the art of moving mountains and filling the sea.

Among them, the "against the tide" technique has the full name of "Zhao He's technique of going against the tide", which is a method of retreating the sea.

This sea of ​​fog,
Isn’t it also the sea?
The Taoism in his body suddenly turned, and three rays of light slowly lit up on Zuo Chen's forehead.

The first is light gray, the second is milky white, and the third is bright pure gold.

Dazzling and eye-catching, like three golden lotuses.

He pointed his finger and shouted:
"stop!"

The ocean of thick fog was still flowing forward, but suddenly it seemed to be strangled by some invisible force, and became stiff and slow.

Finally, the sea of ​​fog stopped before it completely covered the fortress. The fog continued to roll, but it was impossible to move forward any further.

Regulating his breathing, Zuo Chen held his hands flat and pushed forward with force.

I felt waves of pressure on my hands, as if I was pushing a heavy stone door.

He moved forward slowly, bit by bit.

"Squeak..."

The sound of a huge door being pushed was heard in the air, and as Zuo Chen moved, the sea of ​​fog in front of him also made a creaking sound as if it could not bear the heavy weight, and retreated little by little to the rear!

Just like the ocean flowing backwards!
The people in the city looked at the fog that was gradually receding, with lingering fear in their hearts. Their legs felt weak and they seemed unable to even stand.

Until the fog was pushed farther and farther away, so far that it could not be seen, and so far that it could not be seen, everyone collapsed to the ground as if they had survived a disaster, holding on to the wall and gasping for breath.

Some people knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and shouted loudly, praying to the Great Compassionate Bodhisattva to save the world, although they did not know which Bodhisattva was so powerful; some people beat drums and gongs, opened a jar of wine, and gathered with their families to cry and celebrate the fact that they were alive; some people simply hid in their bedrooms and did not come out. When the fog that covered the sky outside dissipated, they lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

When Zuo Chenluo returned to King Wei's mansion, he found that all the households in the mansion had woken up. Now they were all gathered in the main courtyard, looking up, eagerly waiting for Zuo Chenluo to return.

Zuo Chen fell from the sky, and everyone came forward to greet him. Li Ji even took two quick steps and came in front of Zuo Chen.

"Sir! Thanks to you!"

If Li Ji had been prepared in advance for the level of thick fog just now, he could indeed rely on the many magic weapons left by the immortals to withstand it. But in this way, even if he could save the northern fortress, the pervasive fog would swallow up Shangbao City.

If this really happened, the northern fortress would be completely helpless and would be slowly worn down until it was captured.

Of course, in addition to gratitude, Li Ji's eyes were full of shock when he looked at Zuo Chen again.

The fog was so thick that the entire fortress almost couldn't withstand it and was actually pushed back by Zuo Chen.

This is a true immortal.

Zuo Chen didn't talk to Li Ji yet, but turned his head to look towards the north.

"King Wei, you said before that there is a great formation in the north, right?"

"That's right." Li Ji nodded, not knowing why Zuo Chen suddenly asked this question. "How did this fog pass through the Juetian formation?"

Li Ji was slightly stunned.

It seems that there is indeed such a problem!
Zuo Chen also couldn’t quite understand.

This fog was the same as the one they had encountered before, with the scent of the Sea of ​​Bitterness and the scent of Qingqiu's magic.

If this fog really spread from the Sea of ​​Bitterness, it should have been blocked by the Juetian Formation.

or……

Has a Qingqiu immortal similar to Jiu'e already arrived in the north?
While I was thinking, I suddenly saw a furry head popping up not far away.

Foxy hurried to the center of the yard and grabbed Zuo Chen's trouser legs with her two little paws:
"Master! Master! It's bad! My husband has fallen asleep!"

……

Zuo Chen touched Hu Wen’s forehead.

Life is still there, but the soul and spirit are no longer in this body.

The fog was blocked by Yaoguang Yingyue, and no one else in the city was affected. However, Hu Wen, who had the blood of Qingqiu Fox, was trapped in a dream again.

This time is a little different from the last time on the boat.

When Zuo Chen and Hu Wen were on the boat that time, their three souls and seven spirits were still there, and Zuo Chen could use the method of entering dreams to look for their souls and spirits. But now, no one knows where their three souls and seven spirits have gone to. Even if he enters a dream, he would probably only see an empty shell, and he may not know where the inside of it has gone to.

"Sir, do you have any magic trick to cure it?" There was a young man next to Li Ji, his face full of anxiety, and he was about to step forward and hold Zuo Chen's hand.

Li Ji patted him on the shoulder, and the young man calmed down and stepped aside.

"This is my eldest son, Li Changxiang. He regards Hu Wen as his own brother. He is so concerned about Hu Wen that he is confused. I hope you won't blame me, sir."

"I understand." Zuo Chen waved his hand: "It seems that Hu Wen's soul has been hooked by the fog. I have to go look for him in the fog."

I had planned to set off alone tomorrow morning, but unexpectedly something unexpected happened.

"Looks like we have to ride on the moon."

Zuo Chen joked in a light-hearted manner, but no one else could laugh.

"King Wei, do you have anything that Hu Wen deeply cares about? Or something that he always keeps close to him? It would be best if it is a small item that has some connection with his fate. Once we enter the fog, I can use the soul-calling technique to call back his soul."

Hearing Zuo Chen asking for it, Li Ji thought for a moment and asked the servant next to him to get it.

It didn't take long for the servant to bring back the two things.

A jade token and a wooden sword.

The jade plaque was warm to the touch, and it vaguely resonated with the fog outside. It was a rare treasure. The two characters "Wen Family" were carved in a flamboyant style. It was the companion item mentioned by King Wei and Zuo Chen at that time.

This wooden sword looked ordinary, even a little worn. Zuo Chen weighed it in his hand and felt that it might break.

A closer look reveals that there are many fine patterns carved on it, which should have been left by Hu Wen when he was practicing Tiangongshu.

There are thousands of threads connecting this wooden sword to Hu Wen's body, and it seems to be the object that has accompanied Hu Wen for the longest time.

"I have told you about this jade pendant before, so I won't introduce it to you any more. This wooden sword is a small item that this kid often uses for martial arts practice, and he has been carrying it with him the longest."

He put the two small objects into his sleeves, picked out the resisting golden boy and jade girl, and placed them on Fox Girl's back.

Hu Ni raised her head and stared at Zuo Chen with her small eyes:

"Master, can you find my husband?"

"His speed is not as good as mine, he can't escape from my grasp."

Zuo Chen laughed and comforted Hu Ni with a few words.

"Master, why do you sound like you're going to arrest someone..."

Caiyi muttered twice.

Zuo Chen smiled but said nothing.

Calling back Hu Wen’s soul is one thing.

Arresting people is also one aspect.

With such a thick fog, Zuo Chen didn't believe at all that there was no sign of thieves behind.

After everything was ready, Zuo Chen arrived at the border of Yaoguang Yingyue alone.

Looking up, I saw a bright moon hanging high in the sky, casting a silvery light on the ground.

Looking down, the wide dirt road was quiet until the front, when the thick fog formed an almost solid "wall".

"Master, is there anything I can help you with?" Caiyi asked in a low voice.

She felt that her abilities were not enough to help, but she couldn't help but want to help Zuo Chen solve his problems.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

After hearing what Zuo Chen said, Caiyi had no choice but to nod, though there was still worry in her eyes.

Zuo Chen smiled faintly, then turned around and walked away alone in the moonlight.

Until the figure sank into the fog and disappeared.
