Chapter 273: The Boundary between Polar Night and Light
Next, Xun Lanyin talked to Zhao Fuyun about the polar night border.

Therefore, Zhao Fuyun learned from Xun Lanyin that there have always been disciples guarding the border of Tiandu Mountain.

They were all elderly Purple Mansion cultivators who volunteered to guard the border, but none of them came back and finally disappeared in the polar night sky.

Even in the history of Tiandu Mountain, many golden elixirs entered that area of polar night and eventually disappeared.

"What's in that polar night sky?" Zhao Fuyun asked involuntarily.

"The Midnight Sky is populated mainly by demons, but there are also many fallen and corrupt humans. It is said that some Jindan monks who have reached the end of their lifespan will hide in the Midnight Sky and use all kinds of evil and secret techniques to extend their lifespans. There are even infant-transformation monks hiding there." Xun Lanyin said.

Although Zhao Fuyun knew that there was a lot of filth hidden in the polar night sky, he was still secretly surprised when he heard this.

"We in Tiandu Mountain have always had the tradition of guarding the polar night. When you go there, you should choose a place and set up a formation to block the polar night." Xun Lanyin said.

"Can that polar night be stopped?" Zhao Fuyun didn't believe it. He thought that if the polar night spread, how could it be diverted by personal will?
"Wherever there are lights, the polar night will be insurmountable. If the lights are out, the polar night will continue to spread." Xun Lanyin did not explain the reason, as if she was stating an objective fact.

Maybe she couldn't explain it clearly.

"As for everything in the world, what you hear is not as true as what you see. When you are there, you must be careful not to be attracted by the polar night, otherwise you will fall into it, and even the telepathic call of the secret wall will not be able to bring you back." Xun Lanyin said.

Zhao Fuyun nodded, indicating that he would be careful.

"Also, when you go there, you can't come back without being summoned, so take some more books with you to read. Formation techniques, altar techniques, and various methods of forming elixirs can be used there. There are books in the mountains, so take them with you and form elixirs as soon as possible. The world is in turmoil, and Chi Yan has no one to bear the responsibility of offering sacrifices in this land. I'm afraid there will be chaos for a while." Xun Lanyin said.

"The red flame elephant, hanging high in the sky, can dispel ghosts and various nightmares in the world. Now the red flame's power will continue to fade, and the ghosts and nightmares will increase, and the polar night sky will definitely become more turbulent. You must be more careful when you go there." Xun Lanyin said.

"What is the relationship between Jie Ye and Chi Yan?" Zhao Fuyun asked involuntarily.

"There are two phenomena in the world, the two poles of yin and yang, one advancing and the other retreating, one flourishing and the other declining. Whatever you think they are, they are what they are. If you think they are gods, they are gods. If you think they are not what they are, then they are not what they are."

Zhao Fuyun listened to Xun Lanyin's words and felt that she was so domineering that he couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

Afterwards, Zhao Fuyun went to the Dharma Library and borrowed a lot of books. Then he took his things and left the Lihuo Palace in Tiandu Mountain and headed south.

In fact, the southernmost place he had been to was the Yangling River fishing ground.

There is a river over there, flowing towards the south and into the Qianshan Kingdom.

He came to the Yangling River and saw an area that looked like a big lake upstream of the river.

Many people make a living by fishing here.

It is forbidden to fish with fishnets in the Yangling River. This is an agreement reached with the spirits in the river. However, if you go fishing, the spirits in the river cannot interfere.

This Yangling River is also the border between Qianshan Kingdom and Tiandu Mountain.

There are many tribal groups scattered around here, and it is impossible to say which side they belong to.

When they hunt in the mountains, they worship demons and practice their own methods.

They have lived here for generations and have their own way of survival. Among them, some are half-demons, and some even consider themselves to be demons, but they maintain a certain tribal order.

Some disciples of Tiandu Mountain built a wooden house here and lived there for a long time. Liang Daozi wanted to build a wooden house here because he was good at fishing for spiritual fish.

He stood by the Yangling River, looking at the sparkling river surface, thinking about the time when he was still Xuan Guang. Liang Daozi often used the unique bait he prepared to catch magical fish from the river time and time again.

This is what attracted Xu Yajun.

He understood that Xu Yajun was here and wanted to use Liang Daozi to show his own status and means, but Liang Daozi refused.

At that time, Zhao Fuyun had concerns in his heart, so he did not come forward at the first time, and then Liang Daozi was killed by Xu Yajun. A large part of this was to establish his authority.

Zhao Fuyun stood on the reef.

At this time, a man emerged from the water. His skin was covered with fine scales, which were dark blue in color. From a distance, he looked like a large blackfish.

He emerged from the waves with a fork in his hand. He stood up half of his body in the water. The water had actually fallen below his waist. He said, "Master, it's been many years since we last met. I haven't been to Yangling River since then." Zhao Fuyun recognized him. He was the one who told him that he had seen Liang Daozi's body thrown into the river.

His name was Jiang Chao. His father was a fishman from a nearby village, and his mother was a water monster in the river. His father was bewitched by the monster and mated with it, thus giving birth to him.

Besides, he is also a registered disciple of Tiandu Mountain.

Tiandu Mountain will give some places as registered disciples to people nearby.

"You haven't changed over the years. You're still playing on the river." Zhao Fuyun said with a smile.

"Master Taoist, I am already the patrol envoy of this area." Jiang Chao said with some pride.

"That's amazing. I almost didn't notice you when you came out of the water just now." Zhao Fuyun said with a smile.

A look of joy appeared on Jiang Chao's scaly face.

"In the entire Jiangbian village, no one works harder than me." Jiang Chao said, raising the water-dividing fork in his hand.

His wisdom was not particularly high, but it was not low either. Zhao Fuyun felt that the main difference was that he had not received any education, so he did not know many truths, and could not explain or understand many logical things.

Zhao Fuyun talked to him for quite some time, and his mood surprisingly improved a lot.

After the two said goodbye, Zhao Fuyun continued to walk south.

Along the winding mountains.

Walking southward, he found that the light in the sky was gradually dimming.

The vegetation in the mountains also began to change.

It was originally colorful and gorgeous, but slowly began to become monotonous, just like the sky, it became dark, and looking at these plants gives people a gloomy feeling.

The wild animals in the mountains had also changed. He saw a leopard with rotten patches on its body, but those pus-filled patches had actually formed human faces.

When it saw Zhao Fuyun, it actually showed its fangs. When Zhao Fuyun's eyes focused on it, it immediately sensed the danger, and then went into the forest without looking back.

Zhao Fuyun hid his figure but continued to move forward. When it got dark, he stopped because the sky and the earth were pitch black and he was afraid that he had entered the depths of the polar night.

Until dawn, light shone from the east. He didn't know if it was because it was close to the polar night, but he felt that the sunlight was much weaker than he imagined.

He also had another thought in his mind, which was that the world was missing people who "carry the sun".

He kept walking.

So, until we crossed the mountains, all we saw was a plain, but the sky above the plain was dark.

For the first time he saw the dividing line between night and day.

What shocked him even more was that there were clusters of flames on this dividing line.

He looked to both sides and saw small houses along the boundary between day and night, with lights shining through them.

Even if there were no huts, there were fire pits with flames burning in them.

Zhao Fuyun was shocked when he saw this scene. It was a silent and soundless scene.

The presence of so many fire pits and so many huts indicates that there are many people guarding the boundary between night and day.

Zhao Fuyun was shocked and thought that he didn't even know these things before.

It turns out that in this world, there are so many people guarding the boundary between night and day.

They used the simplest light of fire to block the invasion of the polar night.
