The 100% natural gas

Chapter 370: Holy Master, I have been waiting for you for a long time!

Eight hundred miles northeast of Yuanshan City is the location of the holy land.

In the eerie night, for most people, it is a distance so far that they can never reach it in their lifetime.

Even for the powerful warriors of the human race, it is a long journey and takes a lot of time.

But for Lin Yan today, the holy land is not far away.

The dragon-scaled horse was extremely fast and had already reached the holy land before nightfall.

"Master, they all said that the holy land has been closed and completely isolated."

The little white ape poked his head out and said, "Even the former high-ranking officials of the Holy Land can't go back! Now they have only relied on the Supreme Mysterious Way Supreme Saint Art to restore 20% to 30% of their effect, allowing them to avoid going crazy, and thus infer that the Lord of the Holy Land has not fallen yet..."

After hesitating for a moment, the little white ape asked, "I originally thought that Fu Zhong, the leader of the Tianji Banner, could figure out the way to open the holy land, but when we separated before, you didn't even ask...Won't we be turned away at the gate of the holy land later?"

"No." Lin Yan shook his head slightly.

"Why?" asked the little white ape.

"As a Saint Master, my every move is watched by all parties, including the high-ranking officials of the Saint Land in the Three Prefectures, as well as the people in Qifeng Prefecture... Everyone knows that I plan to visit the Saint Land."

Lin Yan said calmly: "If I am destined to be rejected, they will not let me make a wasted trip! After all, in their eyes, the Saint Master should try his best to grow at the moment..."

The little white ape suddenly understood and whispered, "Does this mean that they think the trip to the holy land is also a way for them to grow?"

“It may not bring any obvious huge benefits, but it will not be a wasted trip!”

Lin Yan rode on a Jiao-scale horse and said slowly: "After becoming a Saint Master, we have always had good luck!"

There is a vast fog ahead.

There is no end in sight.

The fog was extremely thick.

It is even thicker than the poison barrier in the Ten Thousand Poisons Prison.

But this fog is not poisonous to all living things in the world.

"It's a little strange."

Lin Yan rode on his Jiao-Scale Horse and walked into the thick fog. He looked around and said, "It's hard to describe the feeling of oppression."

The little white ape whispered, "Is this also a form of deterrence?"

Lin Yan understood what it meant.

For example, in Gaoliu City, the presence of Liu Zun can make powerful demons retreat within a hundred miles outside the city.

That is the invisible divine power!
The fog here is also a different kind of power!

It is presented in a misty way!
The more powerful the demon is, the more it dares not to enter this fog!

Unless this evil demon is already powerful enough to be fearless of the Holy Lord!

In the past, there were fixed roads in the fog, leading to the depths of the holy land.

But since the Holy Lord went into seclusion some time ago, the fog has been completely closed.

To this day, the road has not been reopened.

Once you enter the fog, you will lose your way!

Even if they found the direction and arrived at the gate of the holy land, no one would open the entrance to the holy land.

"The Holy Lord had predicted that something serious would happen to him."

"So the top leaders of the Holy Land were scattered across the three prefectures, and they also took away a lot of the Holy Land's treasures."

“Today, the holy land is almost just an empty shell.”

"The Holy Lord has already made arrangements for what will happen after his death."

Lin Yan rode on a Jiao-scale horse, walking in the mist, and sighed: "Now it seems that the Holy Lord has not fallen, but he has not recovered either."

The little white ape listened quietly, stroking his chin.

"That is to say, if the Holy Lord fully recovers, he should recall the high-ranking officials of the Holy Land in the Three Prefectures!"

"And those treasures that have been moved out will be returned to the Holy Land. Everything will return to its original track!"

"But now, the Holy Lord is not dead, but his condition is also very bad."

“So, the holy land was isolated.”

“Those who were born in the Holy Land can’t go back.”

The little white ape was surprised when he heard this, and whispered, "Master, is he out of control? This is the current Holy Lord, he is not weaker than Lord Qingling at his peak. If he loses control, can you handle it?"

"If he loses control, the Supreme Mysterious Dao Supreme Saint Power of many holy land leaders will not be able to recover even a little bit of its effect."

Lin Yan said slowly: "If something big really happened in the Holy Land, Lord Lu and the others would definitely not let me take any risks!"

After a pause, he continued, "Now, in the Three Prefectures, the high-ranking human figures, including those who once came from the Holy Land, have lost the way back to the Holy Land, and have also lost contact with the Holy Land... They just hope that the luckiest Saint Master can open up the road to the Holy Land again."

"..."

The little white ape whispered, "But something has happened to the Holy Lord. The situation is not right. I'm afraid this place will become a forbidden area."

In the eerie night, once the pure land where humans live is damaged, it will be full of dangers and become a forbidden place.

It often takes at least sixty years for a place to calm down and once again become a pure land where humans can live.

In fact, all the blessed places are similar.

Once something unexpected happens, the master of the blessed land will either lose control or die... then the blessed land under his control will often change, usually becoming a forbidden area with no living creatures.

In fact, the holy land and the blessed land are very similar.

It’s just that the holy places in the world seem to be more complete than the blessed land.

"If the Holy Lord dies, this place will indeed become a forbidden area."

Lin Yan said: "But he is obviously not dead."

Thinking of this, he took out the sycamore branch and said, "Shuzi, how many books have you read today?"

"master……"

The voice of the little god came from above the branches, sounding a little tired: "I have almost finished reading today's volume. There is only half a book left. I dare not be lazy at all."

"Call Master Ren here. I have something to ask him."

Lin Yan said calmly: "Put this half of the book aside for tomorrow's reading, and I'll deduct one book from your quota for tomorrow."

"Ah this?"

The little god's exclamation sounded extremely surprised.

Soon, a joyful shout was heard from the branches of the phoenix tree.

"Brother Ren, please come and save me. I will cut the book in half today. This half book can be used as a whole book tomorrow. I can finally cut the amount..."

Listen to such a joyful sound.

Lin Yan frowned slightly and began to wonder if he was being too harsh on this kid.

“Read one less book and be happier for the whole year?”

At this moment, the little white ape poked its head out and said seriously, "Master, this is not about one or two books, this is a matter of attitude! It would be fine if it didn't take the initiative to increase the amount of tasks you assigned, but it is so happy when the amount is slightly reduced... To put it bluntly, it doesn't like reading. To put it bluntly, it is dissatisfied with your arrangement, which is ironclad evidence of its lack of loyalty and a sign of rebellion!"

"That makes sense."

Lin Yan stroked the white ape's head and said, "In my previous life, I didn't like studying very much when I was a child... To be honest, Shuzai is young, and the amount of reading is indeed too heavy, and the pressure is too great."

The little white ape was stunned for a moment, feeling uneasy.

"There should be some books left in the holy land. I'll take them with me and let you read them." Lin Yan said, "You follow the master and always have the same mind as him. Don't worry about the pressure and rebellion! You can read ten books a day to improve your knowledge..."

The little white ape looked confused.

I've read so many political tactics and was just about to make Shuzai take the blame, but now it's backfiring on me?
So, what's the point of studying?
It stroked its fur and whispered, "Master, in fact, I have a bloodline inheritance and I am already very knowledgeable."

“Learning is endless.”

Lin Yan said, "You have to contribute to the inheritance of the next generation's bloodline. You can't have no progress from generation to generation, right?"

-

In the blessed land.

Master Ren came in a hurry.

When he first came, his trimmed hair was already disheveled, his face was covered with stubble, his clothes were messy, and one of his shoes was missing.

"God, I'm here."

"The Holy Master wants to talk to you."

"what?"

"You wait over there."

The willow trees were waving, and the sound of the wind was like a human voice, saying, "Master Ren is here."

"Ask Master Ren, if we go straight into the fog from the northeast of Yuanshan City, is that the gate to the holy land?" Lin Yan's voice came.

"The Holy Master went to the holy land?" Master Ren couldn't help but be surprised.

"Obviously." Xiao Liuzun seemed quite dissatisfied and said, "I'm asking you a question. If you answer too late, I will have to study harder tonight and can only study late into the night..."

"Ah?" Master Ren scratched his head and said, "Normally, the direction is correct, but now... the situation of the Holy Lord is unclear, the portal to the Holy Land can no longer be opened, and even the people in the Holy Land cannot communicate with each other."

"Usually when the Holy Lord is in seclusion, it is not him who personally opens the door every time he enters or leaves the holy land, right?" Lin Yan asked.

"There is a secret method in the holy land."

Master Ren said, "Every time the secret method is used, a bell will ring, and the mountain-guarding disciples in the holy land will take the initiative to open the gate... but the secret method is ineffective."

"No, to be precise, it may not be that the secret method has failed."

"Perhaps all the remaining disciples who guarded the mountain have died."

"We have been ordered to evacuate the Holy Land, but the population of the Holy Land is too large. It is impossible to evacuate all of them in a short period of time."

"So at that time, some Qi Refining Realm, some Jing Refining Realm, and more than a thousand disciples were left behind, each doing their own job to maintain order among the remaining population of the Holy Land... and evacuated one after another."

"But not long after we left, the holy land was closed."

"At least half of the people have not yet evacuated."

After a pause, Master Ren sighed and said, "We hope that the Holy Lord will fully recover, but we also expected that after the Holy Lord's death, the entire Holy Land would be turned into a Jedi! But no one expected the current situation..."

"The Holy Lord did not expect his current condition?" Lin Yan suddenly asked.

"No."

Master Ren said: "He is only planning how to arrange for the people in the Holy Land after his death!"

"If he survives, the follow-up matters will naturally be arranged by him personally."

"But now, the holy land has completely lost contact with us, and we are unable to enter and investigate!"

"The people inside were unable to come out and pass on the message."

"Now it seems that we are isolated from the world!"

"Logically speaking, this situation should mean that the Holy Land has completely lost control and turned into a forbidden place."

"But the Supreme Mystical Dao Supreme Sainthood has recovered a little, which means that the Holy Lord has not fallen, and he is three points more sober than before."

"But he didn't open the portal to the holy land, and didn't even pass on the message."

Master Ren sighed and said, "We can only conclude now that the Holy Lord is still alive, but in a very special state..."

Lin Yan pondered and said, "So, you don't dare to come back and check it out?"

"Holy Lord, we are one with the Holy Land. We prosper together and we suffer together."

Master Ren said: "In fact, our secret method is like knocking on a door...but this door is the Holy Lord himself!"

He whispered, "I'm afraid his injuries were too severe. He was recuperating and was hit by us, causing his injuries to worsen. Therefore... we can only wait and see."

Lin Yan laughed and asked, "Should I turn back as well?"

"No! Saint Master has great luck, and Saint Lord is the leader of the human race in these three prefectures. When the two of you approach, perhaps under the protection of luck, Saint Lord can turn danger into safety!"

Master Ren hesitated for a moment, then said, "In fact, the Saint Master's trip to the Holy Land should have been tacitly approved by the high-level decision-makers... To be precise, they are looking forward to the Saint Master going to the Holy Land to come up with a definite result!"

-

In the mist.

Lin Yan put away the paulownia branch.

He rode a dragon-scale horse and came to the front.

This is a big mountain.

The whole mountain was shrouded in fog.

But this fog is very different and thicker.

Lin Yan pulled off the little white ape's hair and threw it forward.

The hair went deep into the thick fog and disappeared.

"Master, is this the outer layer of the holy land?" The little white ape whispered, "Like a city wall?"

"It should be." Lin Yan said: "But, calling it a city wall is not accurate."

"What should that be?"

“It’s an eggshell.”

"The entire holy land is like an egg?"

“That’s right.” Lin Yan said, “The holy land is more closed than the blessed land. From another perspective, it is less susceptible to the erosion of the strange night… Perhaps, this is the reason why the holy land is of a higher grade than the blessed land.”

"It was this eggshell that had a broken corner, and the Saint Lord came here to repair it, but was shot by an arrow along the gap?" asked the little white ape.

"It should be." Lin Yan said thoughtfully: "At present, I can't break this layer of eggshell."

The little white ape suddenly fell silent.

What this sentence means is that the 'existence' that attacked the holy land was more powerful than the master.

Although this is true, I must never say this.

As the master's most loyal subordinate, if I follow this statement, I will destroy my own prestige and embolden others.

This will make the master lose face, and he will lose respect and be surpassed by Shuzai!
"Ahem... Master, how are we supposed to get in with this layer of eggshell?"

The little white ape whispered, "Knock on the door? Maybe the disciple guarding the mountain inside is just asleep?"

As the voice fell, the thick fog in front suddenly dissipated, revealing a wide road.

Looking forward along this avenue, you will see a broken ruin!

"Saint Master, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
