50: Resurrection
Bai Yujing is huge, very big. It's so big that even if it can accommodate a few million people, it's still more than enough. Even in the world to which Cheng Li originally belonged, it is absolutely rare to see such a big city.
Although, Cheng Li heard his adoptive father say that a long time ago, before the looters appeared, there were some extra-large urban communities on the land, with at least tens of millions of people living in them, and even some cities had a population of more than 30 million. But, that's history.
The continuous and brutal war has almost destroyed the entire world. Although humanity has tenaciously rebuilt the New World with the innate tenacity of the race, it will take a long time to recover the large number of people that have been lost.
Therefore, Cheng Li has never seen the kind of super metropolis with a population of tens of millions. Bai Yujing, with a population of more than 3 million, is already the largest, most peaceful and prosperous city that Cheng Li has ever seen.
However, just like the glorious sun, there are dark spots. Bai Yujing, which is glamorous and beautiful, as if it is really the abode of the gods in the sky, also has a lot of shadows.
Kushuipu is one of these shadows. Those who live here are either beggars or miserable people who have nothing to do and don't know what tomorrow will happen today. In short, it's a slum. It is a mud pit of dirt, a dump of spurned, forgotten, worthless.
Not to mention those high-ranking people, even ordinary civilians who had to pass by in this vicinity, would only glance at this place with disgust and disdain, and then immediately speed up their pace as much as possible, just trying to leave as soon as possible, away from this disgusting place as soon as possible.
In the bitter water shop, there are no serious houses. All that's just a shack built haphazardly. The shacks were all of the same shape, low, cramped, and dirty. But......
Among the hundreds of shacks, there is one that is different. No one else knew what was different about the shack, but he did.
It's a green smoke. Flying from nine heavens away, as happy as a meteor. But because it was just a green smoke, no matter how fast it was, it didn't attract anyone's attention - to be honest, trying to get the attention of people here, even if it was really a meteor, I'm afraid it would be useless. Unless this is not a green smoke, but a gold ingot falling from the sky, then maybe there is a little more hope.
In the blink of an eye, this green smoke falling from the sky has descended on the bitter water. Without hesitation, it rushed headlong to the "extraordinary" shack. In an instant, I walked through the thatched roof and into the shack. From beginning to end, no one even noticed that such a thing had ever happened.
Inside this shack, it was just as low, cramped, and dirty as the others. Inside sat a tall, unkempt beggar. Without hesitation, Green Smoke drilled into the beggar's side and went straight into the ground.
The soil has only a very weak layer. Beneath the earth is a stone slab, and beneath the stone slab is a deep passage. The channel continues to extend downward, and again, and again. It stretched for more than ten zhang before it finally reached the end. It's like ......
A burial chamber.
This is not too surprising. After all, Bai Yujing has a long history, and many dynasties have built their capitals here. For more than 1,000 years, with the progress of society, Baiyujing's population has become more and more, and its scope has continued to expand outward. Many places that used to be "outskirts" have gradually become "in-town" as the city has developed. Then the graves, which previously belonged to the category of "suburbs", have naturally been passively moved into the "city".
Obviously, this is the case with this tomb under the shack of the bitter water shop.
But in this tomb, which should have been silent for thousands of years, at this moment, a candle is lit. The flame of the candle is also green. Next to the candle, there is a very beautiful coffin.
Green Smoke didn't hesitate for half a minute, and "Huh~" went straight into the coffin. After blinking, suddenly there was a sound of "ε―~" exploding. The lid of the coffin was pushed open by a strong arm from the bottom up. Immediately after, a slender figure slowly sat up from the coffin.
The clothes on his body were exactly the same as the Nine Shadows Divine Monarch who had been in the hall of the Horror Alliance Hall before. The difference was only in the Nine Shadows Divine Monarch of the Horror Alliance, whose entire face was hidden under the hood, and only a blurry black shadow could be seen. And at this moment, the Nine Shadows Divine Monarch, who sat up from the coffin, was under the candlelight, revealing the true face of Lushan very clearly.
The face is slightly elongated, and the complexion is the kind of white that does not see the light of day all year round. The appearance can be regarded as handsome. Although he is a little older, it is conceivable that if he is twenty or even thirty years younger, he must be the kind of beautiful man who can make a girl fall in love at first sight. It's just that between his eyebrows, there is always a kind of yin owl. Teaching people will feel chills all over their bodies unexpectedly.
The Nine Shadows Divine Monarch exhaled heavily, and suddenly slammed his fist on the coffin board again, making an extremely loud "bang" sound.
Before the sound fell, the walls on the left and right sides of the tomb suddenly opened a passage silently. Immediately afterward, the two figures each carried a lantern and walked into the tomb. Let the dark tomb light up on the spot.
Under the light, I saw these two figures, both of which were women. And it's a young girl.
The girl who came in through the passage on the east side. It looks like a pink carved girl. When she laughed, she blew a pool of spring water. But the spring water is clean and immaculate, but this woman is as beautiful as a flower, and between the movement and stillness, she looks charming.
Purity and charm, the two temperaments are combined at the same time, although they are diametrically opposed, they do not conflict, but are reconciled into a very special charm.
The girl who came in through the west passage was a little lighter. The face is round, and the appearance looks sweet. Although the figure is slightly plump, it is not excessive, but it seems to be full of elasticity and softness.
The two girls, when they saw the Nine Shadows Divine Monarch in the coffin, immediately hung up the lanterns, and at the same time bowed their knees to the Nine Shadows Divine Monarch and saluted.
"Apprentice Ying Red Lotus (Bubble), see Master. Master's mana is boundless, powerful and unparalleled in the world. β
The Nine Shadows Divine Monarch looked gloomy, and waved his hand: "Red Lotus, bubbles, get up." Hmph, let me tell you a piece of news. Several of your senior brothers - Sun Bugong, Dugu Wei, Fox Zhenbei, Tie Qiao Terrestris, and Long Buxu. They were all dead. β
The two women were taken aback at the same time, and subconsciously looked back at each other. Ying Honglian said: "Master, your old mana is boundless. Presumably the murderer has already been cleaned up?"
The Nine Shadows Divine Monarch shook his head: "No." The other party is too big, and the cultivation is too high. As a teacher, he didn't shoot with his real body, he just left his body and was attached to the 'medicine man', and his strength was only fifty percent of his true body. So there is no match for the man. β
Bubble Qi said: "Master, even if you are attached to the medicine man, but why do you have to fight hard? With the soul hooking echo and the soul snatching ghost fire, even if the other party is Lei Wuyi and Zhu Youxi, I'm afraid they can't beat you, right?"
The Nine Shadows Divine Monarch's expression was gloomy, and he said viciously: "That person actually knows how to destroy the heavens and the earth with the Great Slashing Sword, as well as the Great Soul Urging Sound of the Heaven and Earth Net. As the teacher didn't notice it for a while, not only was the law broken, but even the Yuan Shen was injured. Within a hundred days, you will no longer be able to wander out of your body, let alone act by relying on the medicine man. β
Ying Honglian and Bubbles each gasped and said in shock: "Master, you didn't admit your mistake? And it's been lost for decades. Are they actually reappearing now?"
The Nine Shadows Divine Monarch said viciously: "I will never admit my mistake." Hmph, if you don't take revenge, I, the Nine Ghost God Monarch, will be in vain. Red Lotus, Bubbles, immediately sent a letter to the four heavenly demons of this sect. Let them bring their right-hand men and come to Bai Yujing together. This god not only wants revenge, but also takes the great mercy. As long as the Great Compassion is in hand, the seven stunts will be integrated and the Holy Gate will be unified, which is just around the corner. β
Ying Honglian said excitedly: "Within the Holy Gate, it is divided into four sects and six factions, with a total of ten branches. Our Extreme Dao Sect, in terms of the profundity of inheritance and the achievements of successive generations, can be listed as at least the top three in the ten major branches. But it's also strange. From the first generation of the Holy King onwards, none of the Holy Masters of the past generations has ever come from our Extreme Dao Sect.
But now the situation is different. If Master, you are endowed with Great Compassion, then who among the ten major sects today can be rivaled by you, Master? When the time comes, all the ten major branches will be unified, and Master, you will be the first Holy Master of our Extreme Dao Sect for more than 2,000 years. When the time comes, it will dominate the world and dominate the rivers and lakes, but it will be easy. Why do you want to change the dynasty and change the country, and it is very easy to think about it. β
Bubbles' eyes flickered, and she clapped her hands happily and said, "Okay, okay." Since it is rare to summon the four heavenly demons, then Master, why don't we first defeat Bai Yujing's four great families in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, and make the heads of the four great families into medicine people, and then take action against the person who is endowed with great compassion? With the help of the medicine people of the four great masters, even if you can't completely separate the Yuan Shen from your body, Master, you can at least have four more split body avatars. Who else in the world will be your opponent?"
The Nine Shadows Divine Monarch's eyes flickered, nodded slowly, and said, "Not bad." The idea is interesting. Well...... The head of the four great families in the south, east and west? Hehe, not bad, not bad. I heard that the old man Wu in Nanzhai has a daughter, and the little white face in Beicheng has a fiancΓ©e, they are all rare and stunning beauties, if you catch them all and train them well...... Hehe~Hehehe~~"
Ying Honglian said angrily: "Oh, Master, you are really. There are two beautiful women like flowers and jade in front of you, and you are still thinking about other women, this is too much, right? β
The Nine Shadows Divine Monarch laughed and said, "Yes, yes, yes, with the two of you by your side, you really shouldn't worry about other women anymore." Come on, come on, two good disciples, for the damage of the teacher's primordial god, they must heal their injuries with the harmony of yin and yang. You can help me as a teacher. Needless to say, he stretched out his arms and hugged Ying Honglian and Bubbles into his arms at once. Then he spit out vigorously.
The strong wind blew, and the lanterns and candles in the tomb were extinguished in an instant, and the surroundings were completely plunged into boundless darkness. Immediately afterward, there was a heavy breath and a coquettish sound in the darkness, and the straight man couldn't help but think about it.
