The Secret Way of Immortality

Ren Qing discovered that the surrounding scenery had drastically changed, and he had actually arrived in a dilapidated courtyard.

Nearby grew all kinds of strange plants and trees, and even he had become a sapling.

The sapling that Ren Qing had transformed into was covered with leaves, and the leaves had double-pupiled patterns on them, blinking from time to time.

He realized that it might be because of the double pupils that he had accidentally fallen into a Calamity Elimination Forbidden Zone.

Ren Qing had heard Song Zongwu say that the Forbidden Zones above the Ghost Messenger realm had different forms of manifestation because of the different strange objects they contained.

But how could it be so inexplicable.

He was not in a hurry to escape, but instead unscrupulously looked around.

This courtyard was more like a medicine garden, surrounded by towering walls at the end.

Unfortunately, even if he stretched his branches with all his might, his vision was still limited, and he could only see the general situation in the medicine garden.

Ren Qing found a total of thirteen kinds of herbs nearby, but he didn't know what they represented.

Just as he was about to observe carefully, a change suddenly occurred in the Forbidden Zone, and the sky was shrouded in shadows.

Heavy footsteps came from far to near, and the entire medicine garden shook as a result, with cracks spreading across the ground.

A medicine gatherer was walking over.

In Ren Qing's eyes, the medicine gatherer's height was like a thousand feet, and its appearance seemed to be composed of rotten and foul-smelling silt, with empty holes for facial features.

Muddy water dripped from it with every step.

The herbs absorbed the muddy water and grew, and fruits with distorted human faces printed on them grew on the branches.

The medicine gatherer bent down to pull out the ripe fruits and put them in the basket on its back, then skillfully collected the remaining fruits.

After the herbs lost their fruits, they quickly withered, and in a moment they turned back into seeds.

Ren Qing was extremely shocked, he noticed that the seeds themselves had roots, connected to a decaying corpse of flesh and blood.

The corpse was probably the strange object, forming a strange cycle in the Forbidden Zone.

As for why the Forbidden Zone presented the appearance of a medicine garden, it might be related to the Fire Worker's possession technique.

Even the core strange object may not be the Calamity Elimination Method…

The medicine gatherer noticed that there was an extra herb in the medicine garden, so it walked towards Ren Qing, but before it got close, the herb had already disappeared.

Ren Qing's consciousness returned to his body.

He couldn't help but gasp for breath, and hot tears flowed from his eyes.

Song Zongwu asked with a worried expression: "How could your soul suddenly leave your body? Even a single breath is enough to be frightening."

"I don't know…"

Ren Qing shook his head as he came back to his senses, he felt like he had a big dream, but he vaguely remembered that he seemed to have turned into a sapling.

Mu Yi said: "Any Forbidden Zone above the Ghost Messenger realm is difficult to predict, I once heard a Jailer senior talk about it."

"After he entered the Yin Official realm Forbidden Zone, he found that the surroundings were full of flesh and blood, and were accessible in all directions, and hurricanes would blow from time to time."

"Unexpectedly, the Forbidden Zone formed a giant corpse that was neither alive nor dead, and he was actually in the corpse's complex meridians."

Song Zongwu helped Ren Qing up: "Let's leave first, with the blockade of two spells, there is no need to worry about anyone breaking into the Forbidden Zone for the time being."

Ren Qing quickly regained his strength and followed the two back down the mountain.

The vegetation gradually gathered under Mu Yi's spell, reclosing the road in the mountains.

Ren Qing took the opportunity to ask why the mountain had to be excavated to seal off the Forbidden Zone.

Song Zongwu did not answer directly, but just said that he would know after looking at the map.

By the time they reached the camp, it was already late at night without realizing it.

The neighing could still be heard in the distant mountains and forests, but the beasts' perception of danger kept them away from the camp.

Mu Yi nodded to Song Zongwu and Ren Qing, then walked towards the military tent.

She did not enter the military tent to rest, but instead grew a large number of roots from her feet and burrowed into the soil, and her skin turned into vegetation.

Guo Qing, who was on night watch, opened his mouth wide, but remembering what Wang Sheng had reminded him, he quickly pretended to be calm and turned his head away.

"I can't see anything, I can't see anything…"

The corners of Ren Qing's mouth twitched, the Jailers would still conceal their spells in the yamen, but after leaving Sanxiang City, they were simply unscrupulous.

But thinking about it, it makes sense.

After all, it is more dangerous outside the city, and if you intentionally hide your strength, you may not be able to react in time when you really encounter an emergency.

"Ren Qing, come with me."

Song Zongwu took Ren Qing towards the cave, both of them had night vision ability, so there was no need for torches.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

They passed through a wide tunnel, and as they went deeper, the space became narrower.

After several forks, Ren Qing came to a stone cave specially used for transfer, which contained some tools such as iron picks.

What surprised him most was the map lines carved on the stone wall.

Judging from the amount of work estimated on the map, the Jailers would have to dig away two or three tenths of the mountain to form a complex tunnel.

Ren Qing suddenly realized something and couldn't help but ask Song Zongwu: "Senior Song, are you planning to destroy the entire mountain?!"

Song Zongwu said with a smile: "Only the mountains near the Forbidden Zone, let the rocks collapse and bury the Forbidden Zone underground, and this is just the beginning."

Ren Qing immediately understood after hearing this, it was too difficult to deal with the Forbidden Zone, and the death of the Jailers in it would also lead to the situation completely out of control.

It is better to take a step back and make the trouble smaller.

"Because of Song Rong, some Jailers will be assigned to stay in the camp to be on guard, so the progress will be reduced."

Ren Qing said embarrassedly: "Tomorrow our yamen runners will join the excavation of the cave, but…"

Song Zongwu obviously heard the concerns in his words: "What's wrong?"

"I suspect that the other waves of yamen runners have encountered attacks from beasts and have already suffered heavy casualties, and the manpower may not be enough."

"I have sent the Jailers to the mountains and forests to support the yamen runners, but I don't know if it's too late."

Song Zongwu sighed and said: "After the situation here stabilizes, new yamen runners will come soon, and they will be led by the Jailers."

Ren Qing knew that for the Jailers, the casualties of the yamen runners were not within the scope of consideration.

Even Song Rong's existence is not important, after all, it doesn't matter even if the other party enters the Calamity Elimination Forbidden Zone.

The two spells are taking temporary measures outside the Calamity Elimination Forbidden Zone, and a Jailer is also sent out, it is impossible to pay more manpower.

The most important thing now is to seal off the Calamity Elimination Forbidden Zone as soon as possible.

Ren Qing agreed and then returned to the military tent to rest.

He swallowed some pig eyes and wolf blood, and used the moonlight seeping in from the outside to cultivate.

Although the efficiency is much slower than direct absorption, he can still feel the werewolf transformation gradually spreading to his waist.

After replenishing his spirit through cultivation, Ren Qing took out paper and pen to write and draw, intending to design the wheelbarrow used to transport soil on the construction site in his previous life.

The structure of the wheelbarrow is relatively simple, in fact, the tires are slightly more troublesome, but it should not be difficult to spend some effort.

In this way, the transportation of rocks and soil is more convenient.

Ren Qing couldn't help but sigh, who would have thought that as a Fire Worker, he would have to do the work of a miner, and he would become a contractor.

Dear officials, there are still three fans to break a hundred
