Night without Borders

Chapter 271 Jedi Feast
A mysterious voice echoed. Was it that some mysterious creature had discovered them?
"Uncle, are you going to run away with the mouse?" The red squirrel wrote in the air. He felt uneasy and was ready to run away.

Behind the fog, there are golden crops in patches, and the real night fog world seems to have been peeled off in a corner.

This was an area that Qin Ming had never been to before.

He stood there without moving, looking in the direction of the sound. Now that he had been discovered, it was too late to leave.

A little further away, there is a golden bamboo forest, illuminated by the rosy glow of the sunset, which is particularly eye-catching.

There was a figure in the forest with his back to them. He was wearing a straw hat and a cloak and looked very burly.

Qin Ming couldn't figure out his depth, so he said, "Senior, we have mistakenly entered a treasure land, please forgive us."

The burly figure turned around and faced them.

The other party was wearing a black and white robe? Red Squirrel was stunned and found that the other party's attire was similar to Qin Ming's when he was practicing.

Qin Ming was stunned. The creature was black and white, and it was actually... a panda.

"Looks like you." The red squirrel gestured to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming wanted to slap this blind mouse. Are its black and white fur so similar to the Yin-Yang fish?

Old Liu looked around, silently examining the world beyond the fog.

The panda wearing a straw hat spoke calmly: "You have the local flavor, and you are also in Black and White Mountain. You are the local people here. Come in."

"Let's go and take a look." Old man Liu, who had been silent all the time, spoke first.

Is the old man so brave? The red squirrel immediately and silently retreated from him and stood behind Qin Ming.

The two men and the mouse approached the bamboo forest. It was bright and shining here. Everything from the bamboo leaves to the bamboo joints was golden, and even the bamboo shoots in the bamboo baskets were glowing with golden light.

This is an old panda. Although it has a majestic posture, the heavy dark circles under its eyes still make it look a little funny. It was just digging bamboo shoots by itself.

It also has several subordinates. An upright old ox is responsible for carrying a bamboo basket, a mountain cat is looking for bamboo shoots, and a donkey-headed wolf stands with his hands hanging down, being very respectful to the panda.

The red squirrel looked at the opposite side. Whether it was an old cow, a mountain cat, or a donkey-headed wolf, they all had black and white fur.

Then, it looked at Qin Ming again with a strange look in its eyes.

Qin Ming really wanted to hit it. Could it be that this thing thought it looked like him again?
However, he was also a little surprised. In the world behind the fog, were most of these creatures black and white in skin color?

"The Black and White Divine Land has been silent for a long time. What year is it in the outside world now?" asked the panda with emotion.

Qin Ming immediately thought, could this be the real core location of the Black and White Mountains five hundred years ago, which is now reviving and about to be born?
It has been rumored in the Night Fog World that the Black and White Mountains collapsed completely five hundred years ago, but it doesn’t seem to be the case now.

Qin Ming responded: "Now hundreds of years have passed. There are three major dynasties in the world: Yu, Qian, and Rui, as well as more than a dozen kingdoms. The outside world and the secret religion are at their peak."

The old panda said, "Hundreds of years ago, when my grandfather's generation was still walking the world, the unified Wu Dynasty was completely corrupt and entering its final years. Time flies."

Qin Ming didn't think that it knew nothing about the outside world, it just had some feelings in its heart.

He asked, "Senior, are you the owner of this place?"

"I'm just an old servant." The old panda shook his head.

Then, he looked at the two people and the rat and said, "The Black and White Divine Land will host a banquet for some guests from the Night Mist World in the near future. As local people, since you have accidentally come in, you can stay and join in the fun."

Sure enough, this place has had contact with the outside world.

Qin Ming and Old Man Liu looked at each other and actually wanted to leave immediately.

However, the old panda walked forward without waiting for their response.

The two had no choice but to decide to stay and take a look. They were worried that if they said goodbye directly, the other party would think too much and cause unhappiness.

The red squirrel was heartless. Seeing that the old panda was very easy to talk to, it grinned foolishly and wanted to see the real Black and White Mountain with a pilgrimage mentality.

In the world behind the fog, the fire springs are very spiritual, flowing in the ditches beside the road, nourishing all the golden crops.

However, no legendary black and white tree was seen.

There is a small town ahead. It is not very big, but the scenery is extraordinary. There is a golden spring of fire, and the light gushing out is like the scorching sun rising into the sky.

Normally, the high-level fire springs that Qin Ming saw in the giant city were all red.

Rumor has it that only in remote places and in the top sects of esoteric Buddhism can one find special and miraculous springs.

"That is..." Old man Liu put his hands on the pergola and saw the scene behind the city.

The place was in ruins, with broken mountains in patches, even densely packed, like broken swords stuck in the ground. All the broken mountains were bare, without any grass growing on them.

It seems that five hundred years ago, an extremely serious incident did happen in Black and White Mountain!
Qin Ming and Old Man Liu didn't dare to ask directly as it concerned the local owner's reputation.

The town was as bright as day, and many of the houses had a sense of age. Under the reflection of the fire spring, the tiles and walls seemed to be dyed with golden clouds.

There are thousands of residents here, all of them are extraordinary. There are all kinds of species, from old cows to white apes to humans, and they are all extraordinary practitioners.

Soon, Qin Ming and his friends learned that the so-called Black and White Town was the location of an immortal Taoist sect.

Originally, this sect should have been located in the endless broken mountains. However, it has been destroyed and is surrounded by clouds and mist. There are various dangers and it is impossible to go deeper.

In the past, Black and White Mountain was a Jedi!
Now, the front is in ruins.

It is shocking that the Immortal Sect was once located in the core area of ​​the Jedi.

Qin Ming is no stranger to Jedi, as his good brother Xiao Wu came from Jedi.

"Xiao Wu's ancestors also only lived in the fringe area of ​​the Fourth Jedi..."

Although each Jedi is different, most of the core areas are not suitable for living and are extremely dangerous!

In the Fourth Jedi, there are a large number of incomprehensible "phenomena", weird "scenes", etc., which are so terrifying that they cannot be completely erased.

Overall, it can be adjacent to the Jedi, but difficult to actually occupy.

But here, common sense is turned upside down.

Once upon a time, there was an immortal Taoist sect that conquered the Black and White Mountains and lived in the core area!
This point alone is enough to show how terrifying the creatures that rule this Jedi are!
“Unfortunately, a great war five hundred years ago destroyed the foundation of our Taoist lineage, the black and white sacred lands were shattered, and the place where our ancestral heritage was located seemed to be cursed.” An old goat in the town sighed.

According to it, after the center of Black and White Mountain was ruined, incomprehensible "phenomena" revived again. Now that there is no god in charge, it is not appropriate to rebuild the Taoist tradition at the original site.

So, they moved to Black and White Town.

Qin Ming and his friends stayed there but were not allowed to enter the central area of ​​the town, which was an important place for the Taoist sect.

The two men and one mouse learned a shocking truth: five hundred years ago, the Beast God was still in the world.

It is rumored that the Beast God left behind a cenotaph thousands of years ago, which was purely a false death.

A human in the town spoke up, "Five hundred years ago, after a shocking war, the Beast God disappeared without a trace, his life or death became a mystery, and the Black and White Sacred Land was shattered and sealed off from the outside ever since."

Qin Ming looked at Old Man Liu. Five hundred years ago, a god-like creature had a decisive battle with a powerful enemy here, and actually destroyed a Jedi!
This was a rare opportunity, so Qin Ming took the chance to ask the people in the town for advice. In fact, to be precise, they were all members of the Immortal Taoist school.

"Seniors, what exactly is this strange 'scene' in the Jedi core area? Is it really impossible to eradicate it?"

An old yak said: "If you can uncover those "scenes" and explain those phenomena, then you will have a better understanding of the night fog world and uncover a mysterious corner of the entire world."

Then it added that these were all said by the Beast God. "Push away the fog in the Jedi, and you will find a new world." said an old human man.

The so-called new world, does it mean blowing away the fog and having a completely new interpretation of the dark world, or does it mean discovering the path to other worlds?

Qin Ming bowed and asked further.

However, those were still the original words of the Beast God, and the residents of the town could not give a definite answer.

Soon, Qin Ming found out the origins of the guests to be entertained at the banquet after the Black and White Mountains were revived. They were all from other Jedi!

"Hiss!" The Inspirational Mouse was imitating him by inhaling the night mist.

Qin Ming was really shocked. Apart from the Pure Land and Esoteric Buddhism systems, there was actually a Jedi Alliance?
Any Jedi place is extremely terrifying and must not be destroyed, otherwise it would not have survived until now.

Creatures that can live in the Jedi are naturally at the top level.

I just don't know whether those guests are from the core area of ​​the Jedi or live in the fringe areas.

“The forces represented by some of the distinguished guests are no weaker than those during the heyday of Black and White Mountains, while some are not quite as strong.” The residents of the town had no intention of hiding it; it was not a secret.

It is also because of this that the guests are divided into different levels.

The next day, guests began to show up.

The red squirrel opened its eyes wide, what did it see?
A rat as big as a mountain, with its upper limbs on its back, led a group of demons and came in the night fog, with dozens of halos surrounding it. Above its head, a civet cat held up a yellow umbrella for it.

They are both rats, why are they so different? This giant rat was silvery white all over, and it shrank as it approached, and was personally welcomed in by the town's big shot.

Afterwards, a strange bird came into the area behind the fog with a strong wind. It was as big as a dark cloud and had nine bird heads.

Beside it, a flock of birds flew together, shining brightly and brilliantly.

Then, a huge purple sun appeared in the sky, with a humanoid creature standing inside it. It was regarded as a VIP, and the owner of Black and White Mountain personally welcomed its arrival outside the town.

A man as tall as a mountain, like a giant spirit, kept shrinking along the way, and finally became as tall as a normal person. He was solemnly invited into the town.

……

"Are these all Jedi visitors? Incredible!" Qin Ming exclaimed inwardly.

The old panda called himself an old servant, busy outside the town, and greeted guests. Of course, the people he was responsible for receiving were the younger disciples of those big figures.

Next to the old panda, there was a white-haired beast helping him.

Qin Ming and Old Man Liu were having a feast on the edge of Heibai Town and were not qualified to enter the center of the town.

Apparently, the "guests" in the outer areas have a low status.

Qin Ming recognized at a glance that the white-haired old beast was the nominal master of the mountain. Has he been recruited?

At the beginning, the new mountain master hunted down the previous mountain master, Zhu on the Palm, and Qin Ming was almost implicated.

It is said to be a white wolf, but it also looks a bit like an ape. It has a very strange appearance and a pair of scarlet eyes.

The white-haired monster looked over here, his pair of red eyes slightly narrowed.

Qin Ming felt a chill in his heart. Could it be that this old beast still had some impression of him?

The white-haired monster smiled, its teeth shining white, which was somewhat creepy. It was whispering to a young man.

There is no doubt that the young man belongs to the direct lineage of Heibai Town. After hearing its words, his eyes lit up and he walked towards Qin Ming and the others.

Qin Ming thought to himself, oh no, the Jedi's "banquet" is not that delicious!

"Young man, you are very good." The white-haired old beast seemed very kind at this time, with a smile on his face.

Then it introduced that the young man was the Sixth Prince of the Black and White Divine Land.

Then, it said calmly: "You can also call me Mr. Lu, why don't you come and pay your respects."

Qin Ming stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Greetings to the Sixth...Mr. Lu."

The white-haired old beast restrained his smile and said in a deep voice: "You are rude!"

Mr. Lu had a calm expression on his face and was looking at Qin Ming without any expression.

Qin Ming looked at the white-haired old beast and said, "Senior, do you know me? Please don't have any prejudice."

"The genius who came out of the Black and White Mountains may become the new ancestor of Xinsheng Road in the future and shine in Kunling. How could I not know that?" said the white-haired old beast lightly.

Qin Ming immediately realized that this was indeed a burden from his fame.

Some time ago, news about his background had spread.

The white-haired old beast must have heard that he came from the Black and White Mountains, so he paid attention to him, conducted an investigation, and saw his portrait, so he matched him here.

"Are you willing to follow me?" Master Lu asked.

Qin Ming knew that this was because the old white-haired beast was causing him trouble.

Obviously, this old monster not only knew his background, but also must have remembered the incident of chasing and killing the Palm Pig that night.

"Why, you're still not willing?" When Master Lu saw that he didn't respond immediately, he looked unhappy.

The white-haired old beast frowned and said, "The whole world is a sacred land. You live in the Black and White Mountains, so you are naturally a subject of the young master. How dare you be so disrespectful?"

Qin Ming was very unhappy. He just couldn't leave because he was "unable to refuse the kindness" and was invited by the old panda to have a feast. Why did he have to become someone else's subject? And he had to follow the so-called Mr. Lu.

In the distance, a middle-aged man appeared. He was a real big shot in the Black and White Divine Land. He was responsible for welcoming the distinguished guests just now and now glanced over here.

When he noticed Old Man Liu, ripples appeared in the depths of his heart and his pupils contracted instantly, but he quickly concealed it and regained his composure.

He walked over here naturally and shouted, "Come here, Xiaoliu, and be sure to greet all the guests."

Then, his heart tensed and he took Master Lu away calmly.

Qin Ming said, "Senior, is there any misunderstanding between us? Meng Xinghai is my uncle, he should be quite familiar with you, right?"

"We have some friendship." said the white-haired old beast.

Then, he said in a cold voice, "I heard that you killed a lot of monsters on the plateau outside the third Jedi of Kunling?"

Qin Ming's heart skipped a beat. This was not just because of the Pig in the Palm. Could it be that this old guy also knew some monsters in Kunling?
He calmly took out a letter, handed it over, and said, "This is what Uncle Meng left for me."

This was of course not a letter to the white-haired old beast, but it was indeed written by Meng Xinghai, saying that Qin Ming was his nephew, and if he had no intention of offending any of his fellow practitioners, he was asked to show mercy for his sake.

Meng Xinghai wrote him many such letters, keeping them for use in critical moments.

However, the white-haired old beast did not buy it after seeing it, and said: "I said, I have some friendship with him, but it is not much. If it was in the outside world, I would give him face. As for in the black and white divine land, what is his face? It is worthless!"

After saying this, it flicked its fingers lightly, and the letter turned into powder.

Old Liu looked at him.

In the most magnificent building in Heibai Town, the real owner of this land stiffened slightly after hearing the secret language between the middle-aged man and Mr. Lu.
