Because the storage space is a gap in the space drawn out.And the cracks in space are not suitable for creatures to survive.Ordinary creatures die when they enter.

The "ball" is not a living being, it is an energy body. Compared with the spirit race that can survive in the cracks of space, it has no problem.

After careful planning, Zhang Yan planned to adopt the same method as when he arranged the Twelve Heavenly Gang Array before, dividing the space array he was going to arrange into many parts, and using the method of compounding and splicing to arrange and implement.Only this kind of space can barely squeeze enough space to fit a whole mountain.

On the contrary, I was a little worried about who would be the first to arrive at this time, whether it was to snatch the "ball" first or kill it, this was the last thing Zhang Yan wanted to see.

But the worst didn't happen.Neither Baronka nor Xu Fengyang showed up.

However, the changes in the boundaries of Xiyuan County became more and more frequent during this period of time.Not to mention that the attention of the Yaozu and Lingzu was taken away, the same is true for Nanyuan Kingdom.Zhou Cang's men also left under Zhang Yan's nose.There is now a team of less than a hundred spies left in that huge military stronghold.

Half a month later, Zhang Yan went through endless refinement and planning, as well as preliminary tests, and finally he returned to the foot of Xuanshi Mountain with a large magic weapon with a strange shape.

Zhang Yan named this magic weapon "Swallow Mountain".The simple and straightforward thing is to swallow Xuanshi Mountain.

Zhang Yan also racked his brains for this magic weapon.It is necessary to superimpose and expand the power of the magic circle in parts, but it is not possible to divide the superimposed magic circle into several arrays to describe it. In that case, it will not be possible to form a joint force, and the delineated space gap will not be a whole , but will be separate ranges one by one, so that the effect Zhang Yan wants will be lost.

How to meet the huge area to describe enough superimposed magic circles, and at the same time ensure the continuity of the magic tools, this problem stuck Zhang Yan for a long time, and finally found inspiration in a heavy rain.

umbrella.

That's right, the magic weapon that Zhang Yan finally made was in the shape of an umbrella.It's just that this umbrella is much larger than the usual umbrellas.The umbrella ribs used as the main support alone are a full two feet long. After being stretched, the radius of the umbrella surface is also two and a half feet.

After he was done, he found a mountain not far from the cliff mountain that was about the same size as the target Xuanshi mountain and tried it. The first time he failed, but the second time he succeeded.The effect can be called very good.

Flying over Xuanshi Mountain, Zhang Yan didn't talk nonsense. After confirming that the "round ball" was still pretending to be dead in the mountain, he sacrificed "Swallowing Mountain" without saying a word.

A distorted space ripple slowly covered the edge of the suspended umbrella surface.

422 Forbidden Land

Cliff Mountain.Inside the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Gate, except for Zhang Yan's time of retreat, the disciples in the mountain can wander around at will, and there is no such thing as a forbidden area.

But ever since Zhang Yan went to Xiyuan County with a huge umbrella and came back again, a place on Duanya Mountain has been set aside as a forbidden area.

The three apprentices were very curious, but Zhang Yan didn't explain it to them, no matter how curious they were, they could only hold it in their hearts.Just remember not to trespass in the forbidden area.

Of course, Zhang Yan didn't think that the forbidden area could be worthy of its name only by self-consciousness, and it still had to rely on the magic circle as the actual restriction.

For this reason, Zhang Yan not only set up several magic circles for isolation, but also implicated the magic circle of the Duanya Mountain on the magic circle in this forbidden area. If something goes wrong, the mountain protection circle can be used as an external force make up.This shows how much Zhang Yan attaches importance to this forbidden area.

Can't ignore it.The forbidden area is the place drawn by Zhang Yan to place "Swallowing Mountain".However, Tunshan is filled with "balls" creatures from other lands, and a negligence will cause big trouble.Not everyone in this world can easily handle this strange creature of pure energy like him.

But some problems still existed, and they were not solved because Zhang Yan marked the forbidden area and grabbed the "ball" together with Xuanshi Mountain.

For example, the placement of Xuanshi Mountain.

Once the Xuanshi Mountain escapes from the space gap of the Tunshan Mountain, the properties of the Xuanshi will soon turn the area around the cliff mountain into a barren land.Moreover, the volume of Xuanshi Mountain is not much smaller than that of Duanya Mountain. It is extremely abrupt to put it on the side, not to mention that it is entirely possible to completely destroy Duanya Mountain, which has been raised with great difficulty for the first time.

This problem has been blocking Zhang Yan, anyway, he has not thought of the most suitable solution until now.It's not that there is no way, there are, and there are more than one, but there is no way to realize it immediately, and the details need to be carefully polished.

The first method is that when Zhang Yan searched for ideas from the pavilions in Wanxiangzhuli when he was thinking about the Tunshan Umbrella, he rummaged through the space-like magic circle, and found a kind of space-stretching type that is further than the storage space. array.

There is a saying about this kind of magic circle: even a square inch can be as wide as the world.

There are many twists and turns in this formation about the formation and space, but the essence is actually the same as the storage space, which is to delineate and use the gaps in the space to achieve the function of opening up a similar independent space that can be used.

It's just that compared with the storage space, the biggest change of this kind of space-stretching magic circle is to make a limited interaction between the space gap and the normal space, forming a stable passage that can enter and exit normally and will not have adverse effects on living beings. .

To describe it, it's like you push open a hut, and when you go in, you find that the space inside the hut is larger than a mountain.This kind.

As I said before, there is no room for living beings in the storage space, even a powerful monk can hardly stay there.And this kind of space-stretching magic circle can solve this problem.

Just from the sound of it, this kind of stretching space magic circle is much more subtle than the storage magic circle, and it belongs to the deeper use of the space cracks in the world.But at the same time, the difficulty and threshold of setting up this kind of magic circle is much higher than that of the storage magic circle.The most important thing is a necessary material for array formation that is called "rare in the world" even in the era of earth legends: the empty stone.

Almost all places in the space stretching circle that are different from the storage space circle need to use the Void Cracking Stone.It is also this kind of magical array material that can make normal space and space gaps interact.

It's a pity that Zhang Yan has never encountered the Cracking Stone, which has long been extinct on the earth, in the wild world.

This thing is different from the search for the main drug of the treasure pill Jieling Butian Pill that Zhang Yan has been looking for. There is no such thing as "it may be hidden somewhere".Because the characteristics of the cracked stone are definitely not something that can be hidden by "hiding".

Because the characteristic of the Cracking Stone lies in its incompatibility with normal space. It is intuitively seen that once this thing is freed from the shackles of the earth, rocks and mountains, it will float.And even if it is buried deep underground, it will stimulate the underground space all year round due to its characteristics to cause landslides or landslides. In the end, it still needs to be exposed to see the sun to be considered safe.

Therefore, there is no record about the cracked stone in Huangtianyu now, so Zhang Yan has no confidence in whether he can find this kind of thing.

If there is no cracking stone to build a large array of space expansion, the usefulness of the outer creature "ball" can only be put aside for the time being.At the same time, Zhang Yan was also trying to use the things in his hands to come up with a new idea.

For new ideas, it is up to Zhang Yan to figure out and innovate by himself, and there is no way to find ready-made ones from the existing classics of Taoism.But once it is figured out, it will not be restricted by the lack of the cracking stone, and it can also solve the problem fundamentally.

The idea of ​​the new method is to use the huge Xuanshi Mountain's surplus Xuanshi resources in the Tunshan Umbrella, and then use his pill fire to refine a new "nest", as long as it can be loaded with "balls".As long as the volume of the mysterious stone is no longer as huge as the mountain, the characteristics of the mysterious stone can be restricted, and there will be no excessive influence on the surrounding environment.

It is even more practical to re-establish a home for the "round ball" than the cracked stone that has never been found.

Just when Zhang Yan ran between the cliff mountain and Langyuan city with peace of mind, and returned to his peaceful practice days, the changes in Xiyuan County were constantly changing.It even became more and more violent, and even the Nanyuan Kingdom had to directly throw in the [-] forbidden troops that were originally used as a backup in the past.The purpose is to keep an eye on the place of mutation as much as possible, and don't want to eat meat, but every mouthful of soup can't be less.

Naturally, the reason why Nanyuan Nation was so nervous was not only the change in Xiyuan County itself.If there are all mutations like Xuanshi Mountain, appearing and disappearing, leaving a deep pit, this kind of mutation will be seen by Nanyuan Kingdom, not to mention the use of the five thousand forbidden troops in reserve, even the troops of the West Route Army People and horses will not look twice.

The change in Nanyuan Nation's attitude did not come out of thin air, but because of real, tangible benefits, and it was a benefit that could greatly enhance the national strength of Nanyuan Nation.

For example, a fruit that has never been seen before was found in a mutated place, and it was taken back to be studied by a doctor. It was soon discovered that it can be used in livestock breeding, which can double the speed of poultry such as chickens and ducks. many!It also has obvious effects on large livestock such as pigs and cattle.

Another example is a pebble-like stone. After being crushed and added to the blast furnace, it can increase the toughness of steel by [-]% to [-]%, greatly improving the practicality and durability of weapons.

But these two things are already enough for the high level of Nanyuan Kingdom to attach great importance to it.Not to mention that there are some plants that may increase the strength of the warrior's muscles and bones like Yushan fruit, which makes the senior officials of Nanyuan country ecstatic.

Of course, Nanyuan Kingdom is not just willing to drink soup, but has already begun to actively participate in the exploration. It is in a situation of mutual competition with the Yaozu, but there is no real conflict.

In fact, it wasn't just that Nanyuan Kingdom was nervous about these good things and didn't want to miss them.The spies sent by various countries to Xiyuan County are also thinking about how to let the power behind them also intervene.

But it is in this fiery atmosphere that few people notice some changes that are actually closer to their side.

For example, when Zhang Yan returned to Langyuan City several times recently, he felt that there seemed to be a lot of tyrannical atmosphere in the martial arts academy in Langyuan City. The dean Liu Renchuan disappeared, and replaced him with a new face who was much weaker than Liu Renchuan. Succession.

Chapter 423 Premonition

The existence of the Martial Academy can be said to be the only link between the nations of the human race.You don't need to care about it at ordinary times, but once something happens that endangers the entire human race, this bond will become very important. It can quickly twist the power of the entire human race together, and remove a lot of tedious wrangling.

For example, in the long time ago when the Yaozu used to aggressively invade and suppress the indiscriminate killing tribe, the significance of the existence of the Martial Arts Academy even surpassed that of the royal families of various countries.Power is also above the imperial power.

It's just that later the arrogance of the monster race subsided, and the human country became relatively peaceful. At this time, the martial arts academy retreated bravely, and took the initiative to hand over all the power of the countries to the royal families of all countries.I only left a number of martial arts schools in various countries to continue to pass on the concept of "teaching the way of martial arts".

This hand is definitely beautiful and atmospheric.Coupled with the prestige of the Martial Saint and the prestige of saving the human race from the fire and water, the Martial Arts Institute has established a detached position across all the countries of the human race.

However, although the passage of time seems to be slow, it actually does not stop, which is far beyond the reach of ordinary creatures.Just like rivers and fish in rivers, no matter how big the fish is, whether it jumps out of the water or not, it will most likely be submerged in the torrential water.

Take Nanyuan Country as an example.Although the Martial Arts Institute is still important to Nanyuan Country, it is only important in the four words "cultivating warriors".Another role that should have been more familiar to people at the beginning of the establishment of the Jiangwu Academy has long since faded away.

Even regarding the Academy of Martial Arts, the royal family of Nanyuan Kingdom has already intentionally infiltrated it, not seeking to take advantage of the Academy of Martial Arts, but seeking more and better resources for martial arts from it.

This attitude of Nanyuan Nation actually represents that most countries in the human race have similar attitudes towards the Academy of Martial Arts.Not hostile, but he didn't really regard his domestic martial arts academy as his own family.Harmony and estrangement are obvious.

It's still the metaphor of the river and the fish.A fish in a river rarely notices that the river is changing direction.

Zhang Yan didn't think he was in this river.He never even felt that he was a real native of Desolation.Half and half.

So for Huangtianyu, Zhang Yan was quite awed and cautious from the very beginning, especially after seeing Xu Fengyang and Baronka's avatars, and knowing the truth of Huangtianyu's world.So much so that his sense of security only comes from his own strength, not from the protection of others.

No matter in the cliff mountain or in Langyuan city, Zhang Yan's perception is as far as it expands.

Especially those strong people who need "attention" in Zhang Yan's perception.Both the warriors of the Hundred Refining Realm and the Duan Mountain Realm were.It would not be said to threaten him, but it is also an existence that cannot be ignored.

In other words, in Langyuan City, apart from Zhang Yan himself, the strongest person he could sense was Liu Renchuan, the head of the Academy of Martial Arts.Even though this person was lying motionless on the bottom of Langyuan City like a stone, it was particularly eye-catching in Zhang Yan's perception.

But just a few days ago, Liu Renchuan left the Jiangwu Academy in exchange for a new face.His strength is much lower, even worse than the judgment of Xiao Shu.

Zhang Yan didn't care at first, but when he stayed in Xiangkou for two days because he wanted to send his mother to Xiangkou to see his grandson, he habitually continued to fully activate his senses, and then he found that Xiangkou's lecture hall seemed to be There is a change from before, the strongest is replaced, and a much weaker person is left to sit in charge.

One is a coincidence, two of the same situation can not be regarded as a coincidence, there must be a reason.

Is there something wrong with the martial arts academy?

With this question in mind, Zhang Yan took advantage of the opportunity of his mother staying in Xiangkou to leave alone, and went around Beijiang County, not letting go of every big city.Still found the same results as Langyuancheng and Xiangkou.The School of Martial Arts made it clear that it was making personnel adjustments on a large scale.

According to Zhang Yan's understanding of the Academy of Martial Arts, generally speaking, the dean of a big city is an important position, and will not be replaced easily, and will only alternate between the two cities.Unless it is due to physical reasons, or requires sublimation.Therefore, it is not uncommon for the dean of the martial arts academy in a big city to be in office for decades.

Now the masters of the martial arts school in the entire Beijiang County have all resigned at the same time, and their whereabouts are unknown. This can't be a simple internal adjustment, right?

Afterwards, Zhang Yan wandered around again, and ran across most of Nanyuan Kingdom with Skylark Shuttle, and went to several counties and cities in Beiwu. pass by.

"This is definitely not the strength that the head of the Martial Arts School should have." Zhang Yan was surprised to see a warrior of the Hundred Refinement Realm sitting in a martial arts school in Beiwu Kingdom as the strongest, and he confirmed his guess.

The Martial Arts Institute is taking away the strong in accordance with the law.

If Zhang Yan didn't know the truth about Huang Tianyu's world, he might be confused for a while at most, and didn't even bother to guess.After all, although the School of Martial Arts has contacts with him, it is only limited to one subject that has been stopped now.

But now Zhang Yan clearly said that Xu Fengyang behind the Martial Academy is still alive and well, and he is fighting against foreign powerhouses in the "God Realm" with the demon god Baronka.And the Academy of Martial Arts is the reins that Xu Fengyang left on the human race's territory, so that he can tighten them up at any time if necessary in the future, and then ride his horse and whip to order the world.In other words, gather the full strength of the human race.

So in turn, can it be understood that the abnormal power withdrawal of the Jiangwu Academy came from Xu Fengyang's instruction?After all, if Baronka can keep in touch with the Yaozu, Xu Fengyang must also be able to.

But the reason... Zhang Yan felt that it should be inseparable from the changes in the God Realm.It's not what's happening in the current world of the human race.

Because the biggest and most eye-catching thing in the world of the human race is the spatial change in Xiyuan County of Nanyuan Country.But so far, the threats of those mutations are very limited, on the contrary, there are many opportunities and benefits inside.This kind of situation means that if the Martial Arts Academy wants to get a share of the pie, the manpower must be sent there, rather than taking away "unknown".

According to the general logic, the drawing of manpower must mean that the existing manpower or strength is not enough, so reinforcements are needed.So since it wasn't the human realm that needed manpower, it was naturally the God Realm where Xu Fengyang was in that needed reinforcements.

After this set of guesses were sorted out, Zhang Yan was sure that this time, such a lively world collision due to the yin qi change in Xiyuan County, might not be easy.While the people in Xiyuan County were vying for benefits, Xu Fengyang and Baronka in the God Realm were probably fighting like hell.

In addition to Zhang Yan's discoveries about the Martial Arts Institute, he felt that the space of Huangtianyu had become more unstable than before when he was refining the storage magic weapon during this period of time.But it's not that kind of continuous change, but a burst of change.Just like the ripples splashed by stone words thrown into the pool, the impact spreads once and for all.

"It seems that the 'good show' that Baronka said may really be coming." Zhang Yan had such a realization in his heart.

Chapter 424

Early in the morning, when Zhang Yan came out of the house, he saw He Xianghong in the yard looking up at the sky.

"what happened?"

He Xianghong hurriedly bowed and trot to salute Zhang Yan when he heard the sound.Even though his cultivation base has reached the early stage of the Hundred Refining Realm, it is not enough compared to Zhang Yan's diligence. Even if Zhang Yan doesn't deliberately hide his aura, the peaceful "Tao" that blends into nature still makes Zhang Yan feel silent. The restless fish, anyway, He Xianghong's strength is hard to detect.

"Master, the slave is looking at the weather and finds it strange."

"strangeness?"

"Yes, master. It's September now, and every September is a rainy season. Langyuan City is located in the northeast, and the rain may be less, but it won't be like the last ten days, and it won't be cold. On the contrary, it looks very wrong like Mo Xia." He Xianghong used to be a bandit.He is very familiar with the characteristics of the weather and seasons, what kind of goods to go in which season, how many troops to send, these are his previous housekeeping skills.Although I have been in Zhang's Mansion for many years now, I still can't change the habit of always paying attention to the weather.

In fact, it's not just He Xianghong, who in Huangtianyu relies on the sky for food, isn't everyone leaning their necks up and getting used to looking at the face of God for food?

Of course, there are also people who live without looking at the weather, or who never look at the weather.For example Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan, who is a man of two generations, has never paid attention to what the weather has in common at the same time of year.His concern is only the simplest "hot and cold" and "clear and rainy", distinguishing whether it is drought or not, waterlogging or not, that's all.

Hearing He Xianghong's words now, he was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "You mean the weather this year is very different from previous years?"

"Yes, master. Nanyuan Kingdom in September shouldn't have such a hot and dry climate. Anyway, this is the first time I have encountered this kind of situation in so many years. I heard that because of too little rain and the temperature is too high, this year I'm afraid the harvest of autumn fruit will be poor." He Xianghong bent over, and he wasn't guessing randomly. A few days ago, when he accompanied the lady to the market to purchase, he heard the merchants selling autumn fruit talking about it, and they all looked sad. He remembers the look of helplessness on his face very clearly.

The speaker has no intention of the listener.

Zhang Yan had been refining the weapon all night and came out to get some air, but he didn't expect to hear such a thing as He Xianghong.He is different from He Xianghong's "knowing nothing", and it is easy to think that the cause of the abnormal weather is probably not a low-probability natural situation of "once in a few years", but an abnormal change implicated by other reasons.

"Did it change so much? Find me some books about seasonal weather and put them in my study." Zhang Yan felt that he should also understand these things, and maybe he could figure out something from them.

He Xianghong resigned in response.After Zhang Yan had breakfast, he went out.Now my mother went to Xiangkou, saying that she was missing two grandchildren.After staying for a few months, Zhang Yan and Zhang Huiyuan will also go there at the end of the year.Planning to come back in the spring.

The Zhang family has developed rapidly, and Zhang Shun is now one of the top wealthy businessmen in Nanyuan Kingdom.The Zhang Family Wooden Warehouse not only spread all over the main cities of Nanyuan Country, but also went to other countries, Beiwu and Huayue, and even further away on the business roads, there were people who bought the goods of the Zhang Family Wooden Ware Shop.

Zhang Shun put into practice an idea that Zhang Yan told him before, that is, "The Zhang family woodware shop sells not woodware, but a kind of grade and style. Price? How can the price show the style and grade when the price is low?" ?”

Therefore, apart from wheelchairs, which maintain a low, middle and high price range, in the Zhangjia woodware shop, the main furniture in the shop is going the "upper class" route.Some people are willing to pay ten times and a hundred times the value of the wood itself for the unique hot stamping on the furniture of Zhangji Woodware Shop.

How rich is the world?How many families are there?There is no place for money tickets.The job of the Zhang family woodware shop is to find a nest for the banknotes they have nowhere to go to.

Of course, it's not all Zhang Shun's ability. After all, Shunfeng's business is much less difficult.And the reason why the wind is so smooth is that it is supported by Zhang Yan, an increasingly towering tree.Not only the Nanyuan Kingdom, but also the Beiwu and Huayue countries opened their doors to cooperate with Zhang Shun in their own business. Who doesn't understand the reason?There is no one in the Zhang family who does not understand.

Now Zhang Shun has two children, one son and one daughter. I heard from Zhang Huiyuan that this time the old mother was probably planning to persuade his sister-in-law Wang Qin to work harder and give birth to another child for the Zhang family.The Zhang family is such a big stall now that only one son and one daughter are not enough.If you can't count on Zhang Yan in this matter, you can only count on Zhang Shun.

In fact, according to the words of the rich and noble families in the Huangtianyu human race, if they really want to have many children, how can one regular wife be enough?The fertility of a man is determined by God, and he has to travel outside. No matter how good his physical strength is, how many years can he cultivate?Moreover, a woman has a child for one year, so she can't keep giving birth without stopping, right?

So taking concubines is the fastest way to have more children in a short time.

However, neither Wang Lanping nor Zhang Shun had such an idea so far. Perhaps it was because they didn't like troublesome things during their days in Zhuzui Alley, but they were used to cherishing the people and things in front of them.

How far did Zhang Yan hide from the matter of adding an heir to the Zhang family.

In addition, many dignitaries entrusted Zhang Shun with a word, hoping to have a pair of limbs like Zhang Shun, some for themselves and some for their family members.Zhang Yan ignored them.The main purpose is to make limbs, especially because it is too troublesome to make limbs for ordinary people.It's fine that Zhang Shun is his elder brother, someone else?Where did he have such a big face to ask him to work hard?

After walking around Langyuan City, even lunch was settled at a noodle stall on the street.

Now as long as Zhang Yan doesn't want anyone to pay too much attention to him, then he is a passerby. Even if he walks past you, you will subconsciously ignore him.Zhang Yan doesn't even need to do all this deliberately, he can do it by letting go of all the "reasons" that he has comprehended and imprinted on his body.

After eating a bowl of noodles, the long-lost familiar taste relieved Zhang Yan's emotions that had been entangled for several days.After that, he picked up the Skylark Shuttle and went back to the cliff mountain first, went to the newly marked forbidden area, took the Tunshan umbrella, and then flew all the way towards the remote place.Up to a deep valley in Changhu County, which is rarely visited by people all the year round and far away from the cliff mountain.

After using his perception to confirm that there was no one in the surrounding area for several miles, Zhang Yan unfolded the Tunshan Umbrella and released the Xuanshi Mountain inside.
