"Calm down, guys, you're bothering me a lot. I said weakly.

In front of me, more than a dozen swords, guns and halberds were coming towards me, as if they were engaged in a weapons exhibition, and more than a dozen tricks were ready to blast me into scum at any time.

"You're dangerous to us. You can't come in without an invitation. Said an old man with a white beard and white hair, with a strange accent and a kind of antiquity—this is how everyone here speaks, and I have translated everything they say to make it easier for you to understand. This old man, I later found out, is called Qingqing Huanglu - everyone here is surnamed Qingqing.

"You're talking about that enchantment-like thing? It's like picking a lock, and when you're a lot more accomplished than anyone else, it's as natural to do that as it is to eat and drink. I'll be done with that enchantment with a bit of. ”

I saw that the old man and the others had unkind eyes, and seemed to be about to release a trick to up at any moment, and hurriedly said: "You have figured it out, I am not an intruder, and your master told me this place." ”

The old man asked, "Who is your master?"

"Hey, why do you want to mention him, I don't know if you've heard of it, his name is Chi Chen. I grinned, "If you understand, treat me as a guest from afar." ”

That's right, Chi Chen, that's my master's name. As the only ancient human to become a god, I believe that his name will still be quite resounding, among these isolated descendants of the ancients.

Before leaving the "Land of Rituals" and beating the mirage, I asked the master a few more questions. I want to know how the incredible prehistoric human civilization that the master showed disappeared, and whether there are still ancient humans who have survived to this day? To the first question, the master smiled and did not answer (in fact, he said, "You can ask yourself."). For the latter one, he simply threw me a form that recorded the thirty-two main secret realms and dozens of sub-secret realms scattered and scattered, and then told me, "Among them, the second Heavenly Realm and the first Yellow Realm each have an ancient human being."

The so-called secret realm is actually a distorted subspace. If we compare the world we live in to a piece of paper, the secret realm is the folds on this paper. Different secret realms have different entrances, all kinds of strange, such as the "Tree Realm", the entrance is an ancient ginkgo. In fact, there was a long time ago that the saying of "thirty-two realms" was circulated, and it was divided into eight realms of heaven, earth, Xuan, and Huang, however, only less than one-third of the secret realms that could be determined were not one-thirds, and the rest were just legends. And now these legendary secret realms are listed on such a list, which really makes me sigh that the master's energy is great.

So, I took a moment to come to a secret realm recorded above - "Heavenly Realm II-Taoyuan Realm".

The fact that the entrance to this secret realm is in the middle of a waterfall and you have to have an "invitation" to get in, but I don't have that stuff. So I had to paddle a boat, play freefall from above the waterfall, and break the trick at the last moment, and then I came in, and I didn't have enough leisure to let me pull a piece of. It's really quite thrilling, it's just a pity that the boat...... Eight crumbled into scum like someone's discipline......

When I came in, I fell into the water. Before I could plop ashore, more than a dozen weapons beckoned over, and the folk customs here were really simple...... That's the opening scene.

"How many years has Chi Chen disappeared, what do you want to prove that he is your master?" the old man said coldly.

"Proof? Now that most of the people outside don't know about Chi Chen, why should I make up a name to lie to you?" I climbed ashore, Shi Shiran stood in front of a dozen swords, if it was changed to gluttony, I was afraid that my legs would be weak......

"There is no basis for talking......," said the dead old man, who was speechless for a moment, and looked in astonishment at his chest, where a large hole had been crumbled.

"The special effects were so badly done, I thought at least there would be ketchup squirting. I was a little upset, and I don't know if it was because I didn't see ketchup or something else, "Have you played enough? I shouted to the heavens.

As soon as the words fell, the old man with the hole in his chest and his subordinates burst into applause. "Still playing!" this time I simply blew the old urchin's head off.

Fortunately, this grandson still has a bit of a conscience. Suddenly, the turquoise "mountains" on the left side collapsed, as if the stage had removed the background cloth, and behind the fallen "mountains", a simple and lovely old face was revealed, as high as a mountain. I thought about it for a few seconds, and realized that it didn't seem that this person was bigger, but that I had become smaller.

Jumping out of the gap, I automatically changed back to my normal size when I landed, and when I looked back at the place I had just been, it was a cardboard box the size of a tree stump. I slammed a knife into the shiny head of the old man next to me.

"Oh, it hurts," complained the old man, "it's true, how about telling you to make a hole again?"

My face was covered in black lines. At this time, another angry guy pushed the door and walked in. Oh, and by an aside, we're actually in a two-foot square room right now, with nothing more than a table and a "chest". The new scholar said: "Lu Lao'er, you really can't do this, you are naughty at all...... It's so fake, people can see it at a glance. As he spoke, he turned to me again, "Chi Chen's is a bastard, and he has the same personality as you. Alas, all these years have passed, and let go of what should be put down. So, no matter who you are, since you're here, you're a guest, so I'll take you around. ”

I said, "Thank you so much." ”

"Oh yes," the scholar remembered something, "my name is Qingqing Shiyu, this is Lu Lao'er, Qingqing Yellow Deer." Pointing at the old naughty, and the old naughty bowed slightly, and said, "Shiyu is good, go!" I ......

Out of the hut just now, I followed Shi Yu through the corridors, and suddenly my eyes were wide and bright, and it turned out that I had arrived at a hall. The main hall is semi-open, with several arches supporting the cornices, allowing a direct view of the outside view. My eyes lit up.

Below, it was a sea of clouds. The sea of clouds was gilded with a golden layer of light from nowhere, and under the gentle wind of the sky, it swelled and flowed like a real ocean. I don't know what kind of creature looms in the sea of clouds, like a fish, like a bird. Rising above this sea of clouds is a hill covered with greenery, and under the shade of green trees, some palaces and houses scattered are particularly elegant.

I complimented, "It's a wonderland! ”

Shi Yu said with a smile: "This is the Bamboo Pine Palace, which was originally set up to entertain guests, and naturally choose a place with good scenery." For the past 10,000 years, it has been just me and Lu Lao'er - he is better at joking, don't mind, but there are no guests to visit, which is a pity. ”

"Huh, how old are you?" I asked suddenly. "Chichen and I are contemporaries. Shi Yu said. I laughed dryly twice and said, "I really don't see it." In this way, you will definitely succeed. "I remember that human beings cannot survive the calamity, and if they do, they will definitely die,—— although I don't know why. Therefore, outside, gradually there are no humans to try, but there are no monsters who don't fight for their lives. Humans can't survive the catastrophe, so the life span is 360 years old at the first limit - some of the offspring who are mixed with the youkai will live longer, but they still can't survive the catastrophe.

"Yes, of course. This is Shi Yu's answer, "Don't ask why, I'll tell you later." So, guest, is there anything you'd like to take a look around?"

"Ah, it's always awkward to be called a 'guest', so you still call me 梼杌. I said, "It doesn't matter what I mean, just walk around." ”

"Okay, 梼杌. Oh yes, the patriarch said he wanted to meet the outsiders, so let's go first. ”

"Uh-good. ”

What struck me fresh was that Shi Yu didn't go through the main entrance, but chose to jump out of the semi-open hall and walk through the air. I tried it and found that I could float naturally above the sea of clouds. It's not exact, because I try to roll over and put my head down, and there's nothing uncomfortable about it, which means that the line between above and below doesn't really exist anymore. It's a wonderful feeling, and Shi Yu calls it "weightlessness".

We had a conversation with each other. I asked, "What's under this sea of clouds?" Shi Yu replied, "Through this sea of clouds, you will see another sky," he pointed to the mountains with buildings on them, "those 'mountains' are actually floating islands, and there is no land here." The difference is that it's always daylight here, and when you go over there, you see the starry sky. "I was amazed.

As we spoke, we arrived at a floating island with some ancient cypresses and banyan trees. Everywhere we could already see, there was a young man sitting on the branches of a tree with his feet upturned - he didn't look much longer than five feet and a half, but the people here should not be able to guess their age by their appearance, take Shi Yu as an example, he was about four thousand years older than the white-bearded and white-haired old man of the deer. However, Shi Yu said that the guy was the patriarch, and he was indeed very young, less than a hundred years old.

He became the patriarch eighty years ago, which means that this child was already strong enough to defy the sky when he was a teenager. Shi Yu whispered: "That's it, Purple Emperor." "Na, this child's surname is Qingqing, his name is Purple Emperor, and he is also very domineering.

The Purple Emperor jumped down from the tree lightly, but did not damage the lawn on the ground. He was a little impatient and said, "Ah, Shiyu, and ...... You're here, this guest. I'd like to talk to him about what the outside world is like?"

Shi Yu whispered again: "It is written in our clan rules that the clan is not allowed to go out. Patriarch, he's stuffy. ”

Hehe...... I don't want to say anything, child's heart. Is this really the head of the clan? Isn't it just storytelling, I'm the best at coaxing children. Well, I'm not talking about five and a half feet, he's older than me...... When she first became a monster, she was really a curious baby.

So, I chatted with the patriarch Balabala, although I was basically speaking, the Purple Emperor would say from time to time, "Really, really, it's amazing!" I started with the clothes I am wearing now, talked about the origin of silk, the country's finances, and talked about the Demon Hunting Alliance and a few fun guys in it, about the monsters, and about the Shangyuan Festival...... We talked for a long time, until my mouth was dry.

The sunny side of the sea of clouds is always day, so I don't know the time myself. It wasn't until Shi Yu reminded him that the Purple Emperor reluctantly ended the conversation. Subsequently, Shi Yu took me to the "down" of the sea of clouds, that is, the dark side of the night forever.

Shi Yu looked a little sorry: "I'm sorry for you." ”

I said, "Why is it in trouble? To be honest, I'm so happy." ”

You can really see the starry sky on the shady side, the air is very clear, and the stars are very bright, I can't help but feel the magic of nature, creating such a magical paradise. Shi Yu said: "Na, Han Qi, if you have any questions, just ask." ”

"Presumably, Shi Yu has lived a long time, you must know many secrets, how did the ancient humans die out in the first place?" I asked.

"I expected your question, but I don't know where to start," Shi Yu said with a smile, "You might as well let me tell you a story." ”

"About 30,000 years ago, I was out there as a diplomatic envoy. In fact, this is an idle errand, and we have always had no quarrel with the world, so we have nothing to do with foreign affairs. At that time, there were two countries of mankind, Sangshang and Jiuxi, which were at war. I follow the negotiations and the progress of the war every day, after all, it is a matter of life and fortune. The two nations have sacrificed their 'damnation' weapons, ("What's that?") I asked. It's a condensed version of the 'Flint Clan' reactor, pointing to the other side's territory. At that time, there seemed to be a string in the air, and a catastrophe could break out at any time, and once thousands of 'Heavenly Damnation' were launched, humanity would be finished. ”

"But humanity is not destroyed by 'damnation'. I said.

Shi Yu nodded: "The one who ended the 'Heavenly Curse' confrontation was only the power of one person. That person, Chichen of the Sang Kingdom, announced that he had created a special weapon, the 'Blood of Naga', which could completely destroy all mankind.

"The fighting, stopped. Jiuxi wasn't sure if Chi Chen was telling the truth, but they didn't dare to bet. According to Chi Chen, Naga's blood is a super toxin that precisely destroys human blood, and a single drop can destroy humans dozens of times. Chi Chen is a technical genius, and the design of the 'Suiren Clan' is from him, and Jiu Xi does not dare to bet on the victory or defeat here. Therefore, they retreated.

Sang Shang took the opportunity to put forward a lot of requirements to Jiuxi, and Jiuxi could only accept it, I remember that at that time, someone even proposed to immigrate Jiuxi to Yingzhou. The last time Chi Chen appeared in public,—— I mean when he was still a human, was standing on the top of his Temple of Four Elephants, looking up at the sky. According to those who saw it, Chi Chen's black hair had turned grayish-white.

"What Chi Chen is thinking, no one knows. Perhaps painfully aware that human cruelty knows no bounds, he made a choice.

"One day, when I woke up from my dream, I found that the world was terribly quiet. The cries and clamours that should have filled the streets have disappeared completely. I didn't know what was going on, so I went downstairs to look, and found that there were still embers burning in the inn stove, as if the owner had just left. On the ground, on the chairs, there were some clothes scattered around, as if in an instant, the people in the clothes evaporated in the sunlight and turned into foam.

"I rushed out like crazy and found that the whole world was gone, but not all, of course. Later, I met some people, looked through some information, and gradually pieced together what happened.

"Chi Chen, without warning, used the blood of Naga. It was a very special toxin, which was only effective against pure-blooded humans, and did not harm a single plant or tree. The infected's body will disintegrate within seconds and turn into ashes. And it spreads so quickly that there is little way to prevent it. By the time I noticed it, it had swept the world.

"There are only two kinds of people who have escaped, one is a hybrid of youkai like us Qingqing Yimai, and the other is that the bloodline of a few people has degraded and become subhumans. Actually, the ancient humans were able to survive the tribulation, but they all died, and the remaining secondary humans, due to the degradation of their bloodline, could no longer survive the tribulation, and they multiplied and became your current human beings.

"Ironically, Chichen was probably the first person to be killed by the blood of the Naga, but he actually became a god. Later, he used the carrier to hang around with us, and talked to the patriarch at the time, I don't know very well, there are many clan rules that were set by that. After that, we didn't have any more people to go out of the secret realm. ”

I was silent for a long time, and muttered, "That's pretty big news." What do you think about Chi Chen, an old madman?"

"I," Shi Yu smiled bitterly, "I can't figure out whether he's right or wrong." Perhaps he saw that sooner or later humanity would destroy itself, and that it would be better to 'erase' humanity itself in a gentle way than to let thousands of living beings suffer. All in all, maybe it works out pretty well. ”

"Humans, humans, what contradictory creatures. I said.
