Hyperdimensional Player

Chapter 315 Enchanting Chuan Du, Flesh Screen, Gathering of Talented Individuals
The eleventh day since the massacre of the Evil Valley.

The young man spent this period frantically improving his martial arts skills.

Lu Shanjun could not be considered a qualified teacher. It wasn't until he met the Jade-Faced Lady that he learned a proper cultivation method. Now, thinking back, what kind of nonsense was Lu Shanjun teaching him? If he had created his own martial arts according to Lu Shanjun's methods, many of those who practiced his martial arts would have gone mad and died.

Only the strong are worthy to be my disciples. — Duncan and Lu Shanjun

Duncan and Lu Shanjun's relationship can be described as both mentor and friend. Recently, some news has come from Hainan that a peerless master is battling the waves in Beihai and has even exchanged a few blows with the Three Immortals of the South Sea. It is said that the fight ended in a draw and he is hailed as a newly emerging top master in the martial arts world.

The place that Lu Shanjun went to is the future BH City, which now belongs to Hepu County and Meichuan.

During the Five Dynasties period, Liu Chang of the Southern Han Dynasty occupied Lingnan and stationed 8,000 soldiers in Haimen Town, who were engaged in pearl diving. He was known as "Meichuan Du".

It is said that many people died there in the process of pearl harvesting.

Lord Lu Shan traveled the world, acting on impulse. When he saw people forcing coastal fishermen to collect pearls, he took off the heads of several eunuchs and used them as a ball, thus incurring the wrath of the Three Immortals of the South Sea.

As for who the Three Immortals of the South China Sea are, I don't know them. I'll beat them up when I run into them another day.

White Fox Manor.

It seems that Fu Jianhan has been at odds with the Five Immortals Sect lately. I heard they've been fighting quite a bit outside, and it almost attracted the attention of the Five Immortals Sect's Holy Maiden.

The good news is that Monk Bujie survived, though he was severely injured and his martial arts skills were mostly gone, but it's good that he's alive.

A series of hurried footsteps sounded outside the door.

Yin Meitang's voluptuous and alluring figure appeared. During this time, she had been serving Duncan, and even her injuries and hidden ailments had improved a lot. She carefully walked into the courtyard and looked at the boy sitting cross-legged not far away, supporting his body with two fingers on the ground. She was unsure whether she should go up and report to him.

"what's up?"

Duncan slowly opened his eyes. Before, when he was refining the evil energy, he would always have double pupils whenever he opened his eyes. But now he was calm and composed, and even his aura was very restrained. He looked like an ordinary person with no martial arts skills.

This Jade-Faced Lady's internal energy technique is indeed quite something; it can actually conceal her martial arts cultivation.

This shows that his control has reached a new level.

Yin Meitang walked to the young man's ear and whispered, "Young Master."

"You sent me to investigate strange tales of the martial world."

"Some strange things have been happening in Meichuan lately. I don't know if I should report this to you, young master."

Strange tales of the martial arts world?

Weird thing?

Duncan immediately became interested and slowly said, "Tell me about it."

Yin Meitang said softly, "Recently, near Meichuan, there are rumors of monsters that suck human blood. The dead look extremely miserable, with bite marks on their necks. It is said that they were killed by zombies."

Zombies?

Is this a world map monster spawn?
Duncan suddenly felt a surge of desire, glanced at the alluring woman beside him, and asked, "Anything else?"

The other person clearly hadn't finished speaking.

Yin Meitang hesitated and said, "Recently, there have been frequent tomb raiding incidents in Lingnan. I heard that someone discovered an ancient tomb from the pre-Qin period. I don't know which dynasty it is from, but there is a woman in the tomb, dressed in green, who is lifelike and looks like a celestial being."

"After being awakened by the tomb robbers, she disappeared without a trace."

"The Taoists say that the woman is the Heavenly Maiden Ba, but this is absurd. The Empress is still investigating."

Female demon?

Is it the one from the battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chi You? Or the one from the myths and legends of the pre-Qin era?
Duncan immediately became interested and asked earnestly, "Tell me in detail."

Yin Meitang recalled for a moment and said softly, "This servant doesn't know either. Your Majesty sent out many people, but they didn't find out any information."

"But the rumors are related to the Demonic Sect."

"Experts from western Hunan discovered a pre-Qin tomb. After opening the underground burial site, they found many artifacts from the pre-Qin era."

"Some people have even obtained secret techniques from the pre-Qin period."

"After a fierce battle, these people suffered heavy casualties. Some of them stole the secret techniques from the pre-Qin period and escaped from Meichuan City."

"The Three Immortals of the South China Sea also took action upon hearing the news."

"It is said that his disciples are searching everywhere for that master from western Hunan."

"Lu Shanjun may also be active in the vicinity."

Given the commotion, it's highly likely that Lu Shanjun has already gone.

Duncan hesitated for a moment before asking, "Where is Fu Jianhan now?"

Yin Meitang shook her head and said, "I don't know."

"He fought with the Five Immortals Sect a few days ago, I heard it was because he captured their Ice Silkworm Gu and used it to make wine."

Duncan knew about this.

Fu Jianhan had mentioned a few days ago that he had come up with a secret recipe for making medicinal liquor called 'Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire'. He had always disliked the Five Immortals Sect's methods, which were those of a demonic and evil sect, and he believed that those who practiced poison techniques in the martial arts world were not exactly clean.

But you can't just target the Five Immortals Sect as a single sheep!

Even if the Five Immortals Sect has a bad reputation, if you keep soaking their poisonous insects in wine every few days, sooner or later you'll attract the Holy Maiden of the Five Immortals Sect, and then she'll suffer the consequences.

The top masters of the Five Immortals Sect have reached the level of entering the Dao.

Upon hearing this, Duncan immediately stood up and said, "I'll go check out Meichuan."

"You stay and inform Xinyue."

Hu Xinyue.

The name Jade-Faced Lady seems familiar; there's a Heart Moon Fox among the Twenty-Eight Mansions.

If the Twelve Earthly Branches appear.

The Twenty-Eight Mansions, the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals, and the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends—could they have appeared as well?
Ok?
The Water Margin seems to be set in the Song Dynasty, specifically during the reign of Emperor Huizong.

Duncan plans to visit Muichuan.

He can spot things that others can't see or people that they can't find at a glance through God's perspective. If there really are immortals, gods, ghosts, or monsters from the pre-Qin era, he can immediately recognize them.

If it really is the Heavenly Maiden Ba appearing in the world, then he will have to reassess the situation of this world.

The Book of Poetry, Greater Odes, Yunhan: "The drought demon wreaks havoc. It is like a raging fire."

If this is true.

That means the mythological era has not completely passed, and this world probably still hides some mythical figures.

Upon hearing this, Yin Meitang looked worried and hesitated before saying, "Young Master..."

Duncan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about me."

"I will not act rashly."

“Lu Shan Jun should have gone there too. If we encounter Lu Shan Jun in Mei Chuan, even if we run into a top expert, the two of us working together will not be afraid at all.”

He has recently made some progress in cultivating the Kunpeng Transformation.

Let's go with jet launch then.

This at least made up for one of his weaknesses. If he didn't hesitate to expend his true energy, Duncan could even imitate the flying technique from Dragon Ball within a range of one or two hundred feet, and his speed would be quite astonishing. If he really encountered a master, he could escape.

When roaming the martial world, you need to look cool. If your lightness skill isn't enough, make up for it with your pose. And your movement technique absolutely cannot be lacking.

If you have any news about Fu Jianhan, find a way to let me know.

As soon as he finished speaking, the boy flew out at a 45-degree angle. What did it matter if he couldn't turn? Flying at an angle was also a skillful form of lightness technique.

Men should be more straightforward and assertive.

Duncan's figure shot through the air like a cannon, soaring dozens of feet into the air. After exhausting his true energy, he used a lightness technique to land, and then launched himself like a cannon again. He could actually double jump in mid-air, just like the great lightness skill in a game, but it consumed too much true energy and was unnecessary in normal times.

Yin Meitang had no time to stop it, so she could only stomp her foot and say to the maid beside her, "Notify Her Majesty immediately."

Many experts have gone to Meichuan in the past two days.

It is said that even Liu Chang's ten most beautiful women have appeared. The Southern Han Dynasty has many eunuchs, and recently, many white-faced, beardless masters with sinister true qi have appeared in the martial arts world. They all look like they were born into the palace as eunuchs.

Many scholars in the Southern Han Dynasty killed chickens to gain official positions and maintain order. These people were all literate, so they learned martial arts much faster.

What worries her most is that the witch Fan Huzi, the female official Lu Qiongxian, and others are said to have also appeared near Meichuan.

Today, Meichuan can be described as a gathering of 'all the wise men'.

What's even more worrying is that the Red Army's experts have also appeared. Chi Xian, who assisted Zhang Yuxian in starting a rebellion, is estimated to have also appeared near Hainan.

The Southern Han Dynasty was tyrannical in its later years, and peasants in various regions constantly rebelled.

Zhang Yuxian, a county official in Boluo, led a peasant uprising, calling it the "Red Army." The rebels elected Zhang Yuxian as the "King of the Eighth Central Region," and formed a Red Army of over 100,000 men. They captured counties and prefectures east of Panyu and expanded to Huizhou, Chaozhou, and other places.

The Southern Han court dispatched troops to suppress the rebellion, but the Red Army inflicted a major defeat on the government forces at Qianboguan, and subsequently captured Xunzhou, Chaozhou, and Huizhou, taking control of most of eastern Lingnan.

The following year, the Southern Han launched a counterattack, and the Red Army crossed the Dayu Mountains in the north, fighting across Southern Tang territory. They defeated the Southern Tang garrison, captured Nankang and Qianzhou, and held Baiyun Cave. The Southern Tang urgently dispatched troops to encircle and suppress them, launching a surprise attack on the Red Army's camp along the mountain roads. During the Red Army's retreat, they were betrayed by a traitor, and their leader, Zhang Yuxian, was captured and killed in Jinling.

Zhang Yuxian's uprising was supposedly guided by a "divine being," and even before his defeat—"Yuxian asked the god, but the god remained silent. The bandits were all terrified and captured Yuxian, surrendering to him."

These days, when in doubt, people consult ghosts and gods.

The Red Army uprising was quite powerful back then, causing a great stir in Lingnan and Guangdong. Moreover, it was rumored that some soldiers in the army knew magic and could communicate with spirits and gods.

"Young master, you may encounter danger on your journey."

"No."

"I will go to see Her Majesty myself!"

The group of enchantresses surrounding the Jade-Faced Lady, who all considered themselves her maids, were far from being able to sit still.

What danger could there be?
Duncan's human form is now marked with a five-star silver-gray mark. If he were to forcefully activate the Wuxiang Demonic Power, he could probably reach a five-star gold mark, or even forcibly enter the Dao. Only a top expert could keep him from doing so.

He left Guizhou and headed southeast, his destination being the vicinity of what would later become BH City.

The accent here is very interesting, and the way they speak is quite amusing.

There are many masters in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions. In addition, being located in the southern border region, one may occasionally encounter ethnic minorities such as the Miao people, or martial arts figures from Dali, Yunnan.

Since Duan Siping destroyed the Dayining Kingdom and established the Dali Kingdom, he has ruled for more than 20 years, and his territory covers the entire Yunnan Province, southwestern Guizhou, southwestern Sichuan, as well as parts of Myanmar, Laos, and northern Vietnam.

Therefore, all these places can be considered "since ancient times". Dali is a Buddhist country that promotes the concept of "fragrant Buddhist country". There is a tradition of royal family members becoming monks in their later years. The Duan family has a family martial arts. As for whether it is the Six Meridians Divine Sword, it is unclear. However, Tianlong Temple is real. It is called Chongsheng Temple and has many masters.

He rode off at breakneck speed.

Back then, the lychees from Lingnan were delivered to Yang Yuhuan along the post road, bringing her a smile.

"Hey!"

"That handsome young man!"

Just as Duncan was galloping away, a woman's voice suddenly came from the roadside. Immediately afterward, his horse became restless, as if frightened by something. Duncan forcefully restrained the horse, tightened the reins, and the horse's hooves rose high. In front of him, a black snake was crawling across the ground. The snake was not afraid of the tall horse and even flicked its tongue to intimidate it.

The scene before us looked somewhat comical, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

But the black snake was incredibly imposing. Although it was only about a foot long, it was strangely beautiful, and its body was surrounded by a faint aura of malevolence and true energy.

This snake definitely doesn't cultivate.

It looks as if someone poured true energy into its body, forcibly awakening some of its intelligence and refining it into its current form.

"Little Black, come back quickly."

A crack of a whip rang out, and several figures in the woods used long whips to entangle tree branches. With their unique movements, they landed quickly. The young woman who was in the lead stretched out her hands, flicked her sleeves, and the black snake shot out, flying directly into her sleeves and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Several people, both men and women, followed behind the woman. They were dressed in Miao ethnic clothing, some wearing snake-shaped earrings, others adorned with silver snake ornaments on their chests. The young woman looked the man up and down with surprise, and couldn't help but think to herself, "What a handsome young man."

Unfortunately, I was in such a rush today that I forgot to bring the love potion.

Otherwise, we could tie him up and take him back to the village.

A middle-aged woman watching glanced at Duncan, took out a portrait from her sleeve, and asked, "Young man, have you ever seen this person?"

Fu Jianhan's portrait was prominently featured among them, and it bore a striking resemblance to him.

"I've seen it."

Duncan glanced at him and nodded, saying, "Does this person like to drink?"

"He's carrying a bright red gourd on his back?"

Upon hearing this, the young woman's eyes lit up, and she quickly nodded, saying, "That's right! This person reeks of alcohol, just like a drunkard."

"Little brother!"

"If you know where he is, please let us know, and the Five Immortals Sect will surely reward you handsomely in the future."

Duncan's expression held a hint of amusement as he looked the group up and down before saying, "I don't know where he went."

"However, he likes to join in the fun, so he'll most likely go to Meichuan."

"If you are looking for him."

"Just wait there!"

First, lure some experts to Meichuan to cause trouble. This girl is marked as 'Holy Maiden of the Five Immortals Sect', while the others are marked as 'Gu Masters of the Five Immortals Sect' with four-star white marks. They are clearly true disciples of the Miao people.

Fu Jianhan loved to join in the fun, so he would travel a thousand miles day and night to come to Jiaochi in Dangshan to join the festivities.

He will definitely go to Meichuan.

Whether it's him, Lu Shanjun, or Duncan, they all enjoy watching the excitement.

drive!
Duncan flicked his whip, clasped his hands in a gesture of greeting to everyone, and then rode off with a flourish.

"Saint."

"This man's expression is strange; his words cannot be trusted!" an old man from Miao territory warned from the side.

The young girl, however, looked in the direction Duncan had left and answered a question that seemed unrelated: "Chief Mo, if I were to use a love potion to coax this young man back to the village..."

"Will the fairy priest be angry and punish me?"

The Fairy Maiden is the Holy Maiden of the Five Immortals Sect, a lineage of shamans who serves the Immortal of Gu, roughly equivalent to the High Priest of the Shamanic Sect.

There is more than one holy maiden; they are considered to be in reserve for the high priesthood. Their lineage is descended from ancient shamans, and in some places, they even worship 'Panwang'.

Descendants of the Jiuli people.

There is an idiom called "common people". The common people were the defeated people who were enslaved in the past, while the common people were the nobles of Yan and Huang. Because surnames were a privilege of nobles, they were only mixed together later to refer to common people.

So, are kings and nobles born with a special destiny? Whose ancestors weren't nobles?

Those who did not assimilate into the Han ethnic group fled after their defeat and evolved into the various ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang.

The black snake was extremely mysterious.

The essence of all things, the spirit of heaven and earth, is Gu.

The Five Immortals Sect's cultivation system is based on the theory that all things have spirits. It uses poisonous insects to temper one's true energy. However, while poisonous insects are easy to find, poisonous insects are rare.

That black snake must be a Gu, also known as a snake viper.

Duncan spent seven years in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. Even in modern times, he has seen women playing with centipedes and scorpions, though it is very rare. However, you can still find such things by searching online.

"Holy Maiden, do not speak nonsense!"

The middle-aged woman standing to the side said coldly, "If the fairy maiden finds out, she will definitely punish you by sending you to the Ten Thousand Snake Cave to reflect on your mistakes."

Women in southern Xinjiang are incredibly bold, and some areas still retain remnants of a matriarchal society.

The young woman shuddered slightly upon hearing this. The Black Serpent Cave was no fun place. She chuckled awkwardly and said, "I was just saying it offhand."

"Auntie, don't take it seriously!"

The young man was handsome, and she was only slightly attracted to him; it wasn't worth angering the fairy over that.

That fairy is really something!

When she was young, she used a love potion to kidnap a Han Chinese man surnamed Xu and bring him into the village. When it was their turn to travel the world, she disciplined him exceptionally strictly.

Of course, she dared not say this. The fairy maidens of the Five Immortals Sect held the power of life and death, and the clan chiefs of many Miao villages had to listen to them.

A forced melon is not sweet, but it quenches your thirst!

Many ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang intermarry, but there are also those who prefer other ethnic groups, after all, it's all about novelty.

"go!"

"Let's go to Meichuandu too!" the young woman exclaimed eagerly.

The Miao Gu Master beside her hesitated. They weren't afraid of the demonic sect members around Liu Chang, but they really couldn't figure out Fan Hu Zi's background. Even the fairy was somewhat wary of her.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

This Miao girl was going out on business for the first time and was very curious about everything. She especially wanted to capture Fu Jianhan and hand him over to the Holy Maiden to curry favor.

This drunkard soaked their poisonous substances in alcohol and became addicted to it.

Genuine poison.

Established brand.

Certified by the Five Immortals Sect, absolutely top-quality, trustworthy.

The taste was absolutely authentic.

Duncan said it was good after drinking it once, and that it would make him feel good immediately. Last time Fu Jianhan invited him for a few drinks, he experienced the effects of the ice-fire poison.

Xia Ke Dao uses poison to cook Laba porridge and brew Ice and Fire Wine; Fu Jianhan probably uses a similar method.

sizzle!
A strange black snake crawled out from her shoulder, along her snow-white collarbone, and all the way to her ear.

The girl tilted her head as if listening to something, and exclaimed in surprise, "Little Black?"

You mean that person is extraordinary?

She possessed innate supernatural abilities, including the ability to communicate simply with psychic Gu worms. This ability was known to all the Gu masters in Miao territory, and the fairy maiden also valued her highly.

"Evil spirit?"

This snake was not an ordinary venomous creature; it hissed and crawled back from her collarbone.

As long as it is taken out, the girl cannot have any other poisonous insects or venomous creatures on her body, otherwise she will be eaten by snakes and vipers.

Even if a king doesn't meet another king, the same applies to poison.

It ate a Golden Silkworm Gu last time, which made the Holy Maiden very distressed.

Fortunately, it didn't run into the Heavenly Silkworm Gu, which was the Holy Maiden's darling.

There are five snake kings in the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes.

Corresponding to red, yellow, black, green, and white, these are all secret treasures used to cultivate the Five Immortals Great Art. No one other than the Holy Maiden of the Five Immortals Sect, that is, a shaman or priestess, is qualified to bring them out.

"You want to go too?" the girl asked.

The little black snake looked in the direction of Meichuandu, flicked its tongue, and hissed.

It has a particular fondness for poisonous and malevolent creatures, especially the most sinister ones.

What is it that attracts it from that direction?

However, the little black snake was also a little uneasy, since anything that could attract it was extremely dangerous.

The same was true of that young man; the blood aura emanating from him was quite unique.

The middle-aged woman standing to the side hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "Then leave one person behind to inform the Holy Maiden."

"In case anything happens, we can provide timely assistance."

There are many demons and monsters in this Lingnan region. A single holy maiden is probably not enough to subdue the others. The day before yesterday, the Holy Maiden went to Hundred Flowers Valley to visit the successor of the Medicine King. She heard that a thief had stolen their supreme secret technique - the Heavenly Serpent Bone-Changing Skill - which happened to fall into the hands of Miss Sun, the successor of the Medicine King.

Notifying her at this time means that she will arrive half a day later than the rest of the group.

During this period, the world has been filled with strange occurrences. It is said that a dragon was born in Dangshan. Now, a lifelike female corpse has been unearthed in Lingnan. She has come back to life. Even those of them who play with Gu insects and strange arts cannot help but feel a little uneasy.

The Holy Maiden had instructed them that there were unusual changes in the world, and the Immortal of Gu was very uneasy, even hiding deep in the Xuan Snake Cave. They were told that they must not act rashly in any situation.
