Chapter Seventy-Three: The City of Discord
Three hundred years is just a blink of an eye for the nine continents in the world, but for the other world, it is enough to give birth to more than ten generations of people, life and death, and countless unexpected situations can occur. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Without this war, which has continued to this day, three hundred years would have been enough time to revolutionize Earth's technology. But there is no if, in the history of the earth, there have been the first and second world wars, to a large extent to promote the rapid development of science and technology, but unfortunately, when the third world war happened, human beings are no longer facing the same kind, but have a variety of unimaginable monsters.
The blockade of outer space has made mankind suffer unimaginable shackles in the development of science and technology, the lack of resources, the shadow of war and the sudden variety of unexpected superpowers, making the science and technology tree grow more and more crooked, and today, it has become a black technology covering all aspects.
All scientific research forces are given the highest priority to the development of military forces, especially the continuous improvement of mechas.
New materials are constantly being developed under limited resources, and inorganic alloys are slowly becoming difficult to satisfy, so there are organic biomimetic materials.
Quantum computers have been replaced by faster photonic computers, and tube computers have long since become antiques of the past.
In the past three hundred years, in addition to the rapid development of science and technology, the entire environment has changed.
Humans and monsters are no longer absolute confrontations, and in an increasingly relaxed environment, there is even communication and even ...... Intermarry.
From this point of view, we have to admire the adaptability of human beings.
If in the beginning, there were only some extremely heavy human beings who came into contact with monsters, then now, there are quite a few "degenerate" groups living with monsters in love with each other, and even offspring, although the number of these hybrid offspring is extremely rare.
Of course, this seems absurd, but for monks like Zhanbai, there are not too many surprises.
In the land of Jiuzhou, it is not uncommon for demon cultivators and Xuan cultivators to become dual cultivation partners, except for some big families with extremely heavy bloodlines and pure blood, and they are not even opposed to this combination.
Since humans and demons can be combined, it is not surprising to add meditation.
In this world, the monsters in the eyes of ordinary humans, for real monks, except for their hideous appearance, they actually don't have much disgust.
Meditation is nothing more than the process of dissipating the three souls and seven spirits after the death of some living beings, and they will be sucked into the underworld by the six reincarnations and become ghosts.
Ghosts are not ghosts, they have no mind, no emotions, and can even be regarded as a kind of gas with a heavier yin qi.
In the underworld, this kind of ghost qi almost fills the entire space, devouring and fusing each other, with the help of the netherworld qi, slowly condensing, and finally giving birth to a new spiritual wisdom, which also becomes a meditation.
It is precisely because the meditation comes from the invisible ghost qi that after cultivating different exercises, the entities condensed have become strange, with human forms and beast forms...... In the end, a new race was formed that distinguishes between humans and demons - ghosts.
Therefore, meditation can also be called ghost cultivation. It has nothing to do with the ghosts imagined in those TV dramas.
It is precisely for this reason that even for cultivators with vast supernatural powers, life is extremely important. People can't be resurrected after death, it's just as effective, after all, after death, the remnant soul will be erased after years of fusion and devouring, not to mention that the memories of life will be erased, and after finally becoming a ghost cultivator, it doesn't have much to do with life.
As for the so-called reincarnation, in addition to the power of the Nine Emperors, reincarnation and rebirth is a big joke and a lie. Even the Nine Emperors can only control their own reincarnation, and it is extremely difficult to resurrect or reincarnate the dead.
The city of disorder, the so-called city, is so large that it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a country.
The City of Discord was formed in just over a hundred years, and it was a place where people and meditation came together.
Because of a tacit understanding, neither the United Council of Mankind nor the Spiritual Cultivation Army were allowed to raise troops to attack, and even strictly forbidden the army to be stationed, which became a special place.
Here, human beings can be grandly hooked up with the strange form of meditation, and even call each other brothers, or they can immediately turn their faces and have a life-and-death, love and kill each other, all depending on their mood.
Here, there are all kinds of black markets, and as long as you pay enough money, you can buy all the technological products of the human world, and you can also buy genius treasures from the underworld, which are said to help people obtain infinite power. As a result, in some local battlefields, there will be meditation cultivators who control mechas, and you can also see human soldiers who transform into ghosts in anger and have great power, although under the control of people with hearts, there are not many of you have me, and I have you.
Not to mention meditation, because of the emergence of the City of Discord, a group of evolved humans were finally divided among the human race, known as human demons, who either used the genius earth treasure from the underworld and then possessed the characteristics of meditation, or the offspring born of human intermarriage with meditation.
The city of disorder is called disorder because there is no law, not even the restraint of rules, and the only law of survival is the law of the jungle and the exchange of interests, which seems cruel, but it also attracts many people who are interested in the supremacy or human beings whose nature is extremely dark.
Good people have little place here, but criminals call it paradise. The endless prosperity is almost covered with filth and blood.
Dingwu District is an urban area in the city of disorder, located in the northeast direction, and its area is not large among many subdivisions, but it is also the size of a human city.
In order to facilitate meditation, the streets here are extraordinarily wide, and the sides of the streets are almost entirely full of buildings of various types. There are high-rise buildings suitable for humans, and there are also nest caves in a more underworldly style. Among the many buildings, there are shops and residences, crowded with a population of nearly one million, and of course this includes meditation.
In front of a quaint three-story attic, a sign with the word "dang" written on it stands out against the neon lights. Regardless of the question, it can be seen that the property operated by this attic should be pawn.
The main source of income for pawnshops is to charge a lot of mortgage interest or to provide emergency relief for those who are desperate or in short supply.
The first thing you see when you walk through the tall door of the attic is the simple interior layout and the high counter.
On the counter is an extremely hard plexiglass to protect some ill-intentioned people, perhaps because of the late night, or perhaps because there is no sale, and the shopkeeper behind the glass is preferentially walking in the soft leather boss chair with his eyes closed and sleeping.
"It's finished." The shopkeeper is not very old, he looks only in his twenties, his face is not particularly handsome, but he is very delicate and attractive, his long hair is knotted in a ponytail, and he is very meticulous in his care.
Suddenly, the corners of the shopkeeper's mouth suddenly turned up slightly, revealing a smile, and I don't know if I had a sweet dream.
Boom...... Boom......
Suddenly, the wooden counter was suddenly knocked a few times unceremoniously, disturbing the shopkeeper's sweet dream.
"When something?" The shopkeeper who was disturbed by his sweet dream looked unhappy, condescending, and looked out of the counter impatiently.
A bare, vicious head was high above the counter and appeared in the eyes of the shopkeeper.
"Ransom." The bald man grinned, revealing a mouth full of iron teeth that were obviously added later, and his expression was very hideous.
"Take out the pawn ticket." The shopkeeper has obviously seen the world, and he is not afraid of the evil man at all, and said angrily.
"Nope." The bald man shook his head, then smiled, "If you know each other, hand over all the valuables in the pawnshop, so that I don't have to do it myself." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the bald man held up a snakeskin bag and slammed it on the counter.
"Hehe, it seems that you are not here to pawn, but to rob." The shopkeeper suddenly woke up at this time, touched his bare chin and said with a smile.
"Clever."
