Chapter 198 Emergency
After this battle, the sky above Frost Cliff City has returned to its former tranquility.
The sun shines through the clouds, shining on this land that has just experienced the baptism of war, as if bringing hope and warmth to the living.
Zhang Xin stood on the top of the city, looking around with a complicated look. The once prosperous Frost Cliff City is now only a ruin.
He is a new general, and will be responsible for the repair of Frost Cliff City and rebuild it into an indestructible strategic location.
"Jiang Qing, you saved Frost Cliff City, and the entire North will remember your achievements." Zhang Xin said in a deep voice. He knew that the significance of this victory far exceeded the survival of a city. This is the hope for the future of the entire North.
"The city lord is too flattering. If it weren't for everyone fighting side by side, how could I turn the tide with my own strength." Although Jiang Qing was proud in his heart, he understood the importance of humility and unity.
"Hahaha, I am not at ease as the city lord. It's obviously all you who fought hard for it..."
Jiang Qing smiled and said nothing.
In the following days, the array talisman master also arrived at Shuangya City and began the task of rebuilding the center.
Although many people lost a lot, people's hearts were not dead. Hope was like a new seed, quietly sprouting in everyone's heart.
And Jiang Qing was with those array talisman masters all day long, because they had the blueprint for the construction of the city defense center in their hands, which made him directly immersed in it.
However.
Xu Yi's figure did not appear again, as if he had completed his mission and left the stage to Jiang Qing.
"The fairest thing in this world is that everyone will die. This is not a matter of probability, but a matter of time. But what is the meaning of our life?"
That day, Jiang Qing stood alone on the city wall and asked in a low voice.
There was only the sound of the wind blowing as a response.
And...
"Jiang Qing, look at the snowman I made, is it beautiful?" Qin Xiaosui's nose was red, and he exhaled white air from his mouth, and handed a small snowman to Jiang Qing.
...
A few days later, the news came.
The garrison of Jubei City will arrive soon, and they can leave at that time. They have stayed here for so many days just to help defend the city.
The next day.
Teams of soldiers in bright armor arrived on time and walked neatly into Shuangya City.
Jiang Qing and others also boarded the flying boat together and returned to Jubei City, because Xu Beichuan wanted to become a disciple, and it was said that a grand ceremony of becoming a disciple would be held.
Jiang Qing wanted to refuse at first, he didn't like this kind of scene very much, but he decided to go anyway.
He was willing to do it.
The system points were used up.
The points he had obtained in the Six Paths of Reincarnation Small World before were now exhausted, and he needed to find a way to get some more points.
In case of emergency.
It just so happened that people from all over the city would come to watch this apprenticeship meeting, so they had to find a way to get excited.
Jiang Qing and others boarded the flying boat back to Jubei City. On the flying boat, they chatted about every detail of the trip to Shuangya City, and everyone had a thrilling story to share.
However, everyone on the flying boat was a personal experiencer of the war. Although the team was divided into two groups, due to their familiarity with the overall event.
As a result, the other party said a little, and they could guess the general situation based on the information.
Everyone was still interested, and reviewed the entire operation, and found some details that could be optimized.
In this way, the trip to Frost Cliff City did work, and the whole team became more cohesive.
After talking about these topics.
The cabin of the flying boat became quiet again.
Qin Xiaosui leaned against the window, watching the lonely snow outside, Jiang Qing and Bailiye lit a fire and boiled a pot of tea.
As for Luo Hua and Shen Chengxian, the two were so bored that they started to compete with each other. Whoever blinked first would lose.
But they were most worried about Luo Shui.
Because her arms were severely injured in the previous battle, she did not participate in the final battle with the black water bear, but chose to let her go first to get help.
It was white everywhere outside, and I didn’t know if Senior Sister Luo Shui would be in trouble.
"...I say, do you two have to be so boring?" Jiang Qing said speechlessly: "You have been staring at each other for two hours."
"It's almost time to decide the winner. I think he will soon die!" Luo Hua said stubbornly.
"You can't die. I can at least stare at him for two hours. Can you?" Shen Chengxian retorted.
"Why can't I? Come on!"
"Come on!"
Jiang Qing: "...you two stubborn guys."
"At least stay away from my fire."
In order to decide the winner as soon as possible, Shen Chengxian and Luo Hua also stipulated that no tears were allowed. If they cried, they would lose. However, keeping their eyes open would cause dryness, and the body would automatically secrete tears, which could not be controlled.
Now, the two of them lay down in front of the fire and started to roast their eyes...
Bai Liye changed the subject and said, "Brother Jiang, why do you think the Xu family would bow down to you and become your disciples?"
"Who knows..."
"But it's just on the way, so it's good to participate in the apprenticeship meeting. I remember that in the last apprenticeship meeting, I became my master's disciple.
This is inexplicable.
Is it my turn to accept a disciple?"
"Hahaha, of course it's because I've grown up." Bai Liye was deeply touched. Along the way, he was no longer the prince who grew up in the deep palace.
He did learn a lot.
But soon Bai Liye asked again in confusion, "Huh? Brother Jiang, what do you mean by on the way? The place where the battle of luck begins...
It should be in the opposite direction, right? "
"Of course it doesn't mean the battle of luck." Jiang Qing poked the charcoal with the Longyuan Sword, and the dark red charcoal fire suddenly became brighter again.
"Have you forgotten that the north of the north is the boundary of the world?" Jiang Qing's voice was not loud but it made everyone stunned.
Luo Hua stopped talking, rubbed his eyes and said, "That's right! We still have to explore the truth of the world!"
Shen Chengxian looked at the other party with resentment, no more comparisons? Wouldn't it be useless to stare at him for several hours?
But indeed, the temptation of the North of the North was great enough, and he also wanted to see what the border of the legendary world looked like.
"Wow wow wow!!"
Qin Xiaosui screamed and ran over excitedly, sitting in Jiang Qing's arms, waiting to hear the plan.
As a result, the topic gradually turned to a more profound question - what is the unknown world like in the north of the north, and what is in it?
"Have you ever thought about what exactly is the North of the North?" Jiang Qing suddenly raised this question, arousing everyone's curiosity.
"I once heard that there is an endless ice field, so cold that even the air solidifies into ice." Shen Chengxian said thoughtfully.
"I've also heard a little bit. I heard that there are huge beasts there, more powerful than the black water bears we have seen." Qin Xiaosui gestured with his hands.
"Maybe there is another world north of the North, completely different from our world." Jiang Qing said thoughtfully.
This topic has aroused heated discussion among everyone. Some people say that it is the fairy world after becoming immortals, some people think that it is the abyss of demons, and some people say that it is actually a portal to other worlds.
"I once heard an old eunuch in the palace say that the boundary of the world is not a fixed place, but a constantly changing boundary." Bailiye expressed a different point of view.
"What does it mean?"
Qin Xiaosui asked curiously.
"That is to say, the boundary of the world is not a physical wall, but a membrane that is constantly expanding and contracting. We can never really reach the boundary because every time we approach it, it will retreat." Bailiye explained .
"Really or falsely, so mysterious?"
"There is another world beyond the boundary, so will the method we practice still be effective in that environment?" Luo Hua asked.
"How did I know..."
The corner of Bailiye's mouth twitched. He just heard some things from people in the palace. As for the specifics...
I'm afraid that the old eunuch himself doesn't know that. No one has ever gone to the other side and then returned.
On the other hand, there are countless dead bones on the road to the north, and few people can return.
"It's hard to say." He Yao smiled slightly, "Each world has its own unique laws and orders. Maybe our cultivation will be suppressed there, or there may be new breakthroughs." Jiang Qing said this talk.
Because he comes from the earth.
Although it is possible to cultivate immortality in this world of immortality, the suppression from the great avenue is indeed more serious.
For example, if he is here, if he improves his cultivation to become a god, he might be able to split Shuangya City in half with all his strength, but if he is on the ground...
Don't talk about cutting off the river with one finger.
If you go down with a sword, the Pacific Ocean will be split into two.
"I've always wanted to know what the border of the world is made of." Qin Xiaosui held his cheek, curious, "Is it like a wall, isolating us from the outside world?"
"Having said all that, regardless of whether there is a world behind it, I just want to know what will happen if we cross the border?" Shen Chengxian asked the question that everyone cared about.
Bailiye suddenly said seriously:
"Some people say that people who cross the border will be involved in the turbulence of time and space, and will be lost in chaos forever. If you go to the north of the north, you must not try it easily."
"..."
After discussing for a long time, everyone wanted to start to fall into daydream. They imagined the unknown world.
"How about... let's go to the north of the north first? Then we can attend the apprenticeship meeting. It should be in time." Shen Chengxian said.
"This is not good. After all, it is a ceremony for Brother Jiang to accept his disciples. From now on, there will be a powerful force to support it, but we can't let it go wrong.
...Although I also want to see it. "
Bailiye said tangledly.
"Let's wait until the apprenticeship ceremony is over. This matter is indeed more important, and the north of the north is right there, so we can't escape." Qin Xiaosui helped Jiang Qing decide.
Jiang Qing himself didn't say anything, he didn't care.
The flying boat was speeding high in the sky, and everyone's thoughts were flying into the distance following He Yao's words. Just as everyone was immersed in their infinite reverie about the north of the north.
The flying boat suddenly trembled slightly, interrupting everyone's thoughts.
Only then did everyone realize that the scenery outside began to become blurry, and a layer of mist quietly enveloped the flying boat.
"What's going on? Check it out quickly. Is it off course?" Jiang Qing stood up and walked towards the window of the cabin, trying to spy on the situation outside.
"Strange, there is no yaw!"
Luo Hua frowned as he checked the astrolabe.
At this moment, other people also stood up and went to the window to watch. They saw that in the clouds and mist, there seemed to be an invisible force guiding the airship forward, causing subtle distortions in the originally straight route.
"How is this going?"
Jiang Qing felt a little uneasy, and he was keenly aware of the strangeness of the surrounding environment.
"Let me go out and have a look." Shen Chengxian expanded his chest. He was always bold and full of curiosity about this unknown phenomenon.
However, just as Shen Chengxian was about to open the hatch, the flying boat suddenly shook violently, as if being pulled by a powerful force.
Everyone held on to the fixed objects tightly to avoid being thrown out.
"No, we seem to have entered some kind of restricted area!" Jiang Qing warned loudly, "Everyone hold on tight, don't be thrown out!"
At this moment, everyone's face couldn't help but show a nervous look.
The flying boat continued to move forward in trembling, and the surrounding clouds and mist became thicker and thicker, and it was almost impossible to see the outside world.
Suddenly, a bright light shone through the clouds and mist, illuminating the entire flying boat.
The light contained some mysterious power, which shocked everyone's heart.
"Look!"
Qin Xiaosui pointed in the direction of the light, with shock and excitement in his voice.
Everyone's eyes focused, and saw that in the place of the light, a huge crack slowly opened, as if it was a portal to another world, and the crack emitted a dazzling light that made people unable to look directly.
"This is..." Bailiye was so surprised that he couldn't speak. He had learned similar descriptions from ancient books, but it was the first time he saw it with his own eyes.
"Fuck, we didn't accidentally drive to the north of the northern border, did we?" Luo Hua's voice was trembling, and he was obviously deeply shocked by the scene in front of him.
"Quick, drive the flying boat back!"
Jiang Qing shouted: "Something is wrong here, we will definitely be sucked into this crack!"
"No! This power..."
The flying boat was still approaching the crack involuntarily, and everyone's heart was tense.
In silence, the flying boat slowly drove into the mysterious door. In an instant, the strong light engulfed them all, and when the light faded.
The air here was filled with an unprecedented coldness, but it was not biting, but a fresh and exciting coldness.
The sky showed a strange lavender, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of snow, reflecting a faint blue light. In the distance, the rolling snow-capped mountains stood majestically, like a giant guarding this world.
"Have we crossed the barrier of the North of the North?" Luo Hua muttered to himself, his eyes unconsciously looking around, trying to capture every detail.
"No!"
Jiang Qing said in a low voice: "The laws of heaven and earth here are still exactly the same. We should still be in the original world, but be careful.
I'm afraid...
We have already gone deep into the North of the North." Jiang Qing looked at the positioning display on the star search disk and frowned.
