Chapter 396 Leaving
Li Ming turned his head to take a look at the Hulu City, which was now completely renewed, and smiled. He just walked forward without any nostalgia.

Lei Dongzi seemed to be apologizing when he said, "When the Wordless Heavenly Book is delivered to Taixu Palace, we will find a quiet place to practice. If there is a war between humans and demons, we can go out of the mountains and kill them to our heart's content. Why bother with these petty tricks?"

Zang Shan sighed softly and said, "Fellow Daoist Niu, I hope you can forgive me for this matter."

Xuanzang held a string of jade prayer beads and chanted the Buddha's name softly. He looked at Li Ming with a smile and didn't say much.

With Li Ming's approval, everyone agreed that there would be one more Xuanzang in the book protection team. After all, he was young with a good temper, but his cultivation was extremely profound, almost the same as Lei Dongzi, and he came with good intentions.

Zhang An and Zeng Yushu just followed behind obediently. Perhaps Zeng Yushu's talent was really poor. After half a year, he still hadn't entered the Tao.

Zang Shan almost gave up, but Zeng Yushu was not discouraged. He continued to recite scriptures day and night to sense the aura.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Li Ming just smiled and said, "This is already a big problem. If they want it, just give it to them. I don't care about it. It takes a lot of my time to deal with these chores."

In two months, Li Ming reorganized Hulu City from top to bottom, handled the relationships between various forces, opened up connections at all levels, and ensured the smooth implementation of government orders.

He is a man of great political skills and possesses the strength of a Golden Core. He is both powerful and reasonable. However, the fate of the Lu family is still before their eyes, so how could others dare to disobey him?

Therefore, considerable results were achieved in just two months. However, at this time, many people came down from Miaoqing Mountain, and not all of them were from the Yinming Sect.

Normally if he had set off immediately after receiving the letter, he would have arrived long ago, but now he has spent so much time, and he must have spent more time waiting and watching.

Seeing that Li Ming had managed Hulu City well, he couldn't wait to come out and pick the peaches, and even brought up Li Ming's identity issue.

Little did they know that Li Ming was not interested in this. He had already had enough of the so-called power, and his greater pursuit in this world was still on the road.

Of course, it cannot be said that the huge foundation of Hulu City was taken away by them. After all, Li Ming is strong enough to suppress them. But if it were them, that might not be the case.

As for the biggest gain, the gourd vine and gourd, Li Ming naturally couldn't take it out, so he threw it away so cleanly and neatly, without even giving them a chance to speak.

In addition, the treasure house accumulated by the Lu family over the generations was also looted by Li Ming and others. Although it was not as powerful as the sky, they were definitely armed to the teeth.

Just look at Xuanzang and you will know that he was penniless before he came here, but now he has a lot of magic weapons.

Take the jade rosary in my hand for example. Each bead is made of thousand-year-old green jade interspersed with rare agate that has accumulated deep vows, and contains the six-character mantra. Each bead contains a great Buddhist method. Wearing it on a daily basis can help calm the mind and eliminate external demons. Crushing the rosary at a critical moment can also unleash powerful power. The monk's robes on his body and the magic tools in his bag are all brand new.

Zangshan also found some things to polish his sword energy. Lei Dongzi's Ten Thousand Souls Banner was broken, so he decided to go all out and directly found the best materials in the Lu family's warehouse to refine a complete set of twelve-sided magic weapons.

If it is really refined according to his specifications, the magic weapon that is refined may not be less powerful than the authentic Ten Thousand Souls Banner, one of the seven treasures of the Yinming Sect.

However, refining a magic weapon requires taking into account the right time and location. Currently, only one-third, or four rods, have been completed. However, the essence of any one of them has surpassed the original one in Lei Dongzi's hand.

Even the ghosts had been replenished. After all, the Lu family had sharpened their swords with countless ghosts, so naturally there was no shortage of ghosts in the clan. Lu Tianxi replenished them as needed, and the clan already had a large reserve, which now belonged to Lei Dongzi. Zhang An and Zeng Yushu also had two more protective treasures.

As for Li Ming, he now has two large gourds in his hands. One is an extremely sharp flying sword that can slay demons, and the other is a chaos gourd that can swallow the heaven and earth. These are enough. As for the others, they are useless.

On the contrary, a large number of elixirs and talismans were replenished, and emergency measures were also available.

Seeing that Li Ming really didn't care, everyone stopped talking and continued walking towards their destination.

Before they knew it, it was March again. One day, everyone was riding on clouds in the wilderness when they suddenly saw a gloomy mountain range below the clouds. It was the end of Longshan Mountain, stretching for hundreds of miles.

The whole mountain is covered with dead wormwood and mulberry trees, old pines and withered vines, and flocks of crows. Even in broad daylight, the entire mountain is shrouded in fog and a cold wind is blowing.

A surge of yin energy rose into the sky. Seeing this, Lei Dongzi was not surprised but delighted. He calculated with his hands and laughed loudly, saying, "Good, good, this is the perfect time. It's time for me to raise another banner!"

Everyone was no longer surprised to see this. Lei Dongzi had not yet refined a complete set of formation flags, and he kept chanting all day long. If they encountered a place where yin energy gathered in the future, as long as it didn't take too long, they would just let him refine one or two more.

So everyone descended from the clouds, and bones piled up under their feet. The stench that came to their noses made Zeng Yushu frown subconsciously.

Xuanzang chanted the Buddha's name and sighed softly.

"This seems to be a mass grave?" Zangshan said.

However, there were very few graves around, and most of them were scattered bones. He couldn't help but sigh again. After leaving the jurisdiction of Hulu City, the closer he got to the border, the more tragic the situation of the human race became.

Looking up, there is a dilapidated building on the top of the peak. I don’t know whether it is a Taoist temple or a Buddhist temple. The walls have collapsed long ago and it is just a ruin. But if you look at the scale of the ruins, you can tell that this place must have been very popular before. Maybe it was a sect of the human race, but it is most likely that it has been massacred now.

"Gah... gah gah..." The strange cries of the crows sitting on the dead branches added a bit of weird atmosphere.

Lei Dongzi didn't care at all and just told Zhang An to make preparations quickly.

Zhang An slapped the treasure bag on his waist, and a flash of light appeared. A pile of talismans, flags, rice and other items prepared in advance appeared on the ground.

Lei Dongzi used willow branches to sprinkle clean water to remove the foul smell, set up an altar to gather the negative energy, and when everything was ready, the sky had completely darkened.

Li Mingze looked at the direction and said, "It seems that this place is not far from the border pass."

Zang Shan nodded and said, "At our speed, we'll be there in three days at most. Once we cross the border, we'll be in the Western Regions. We've already covered most of our journey. The Western Regions are more peaceful than our Northern Regions, so we can get there even faster. If everything goes smoothly, we'll be there in another six months."

Zangshan was also relaxing at this rare moment, and was in a very relaxed state.
