Chapter 5: Ethereal City

A day later, the Tongtianqiao incident spread all over the country, and the whole world was shocked, and some relevant scientific research teams rushed to Suzhou City from all over the world to surround the Tongtianqiao.

In the streets and alleys of the world, whether adults and children, as well as men, women and children, they are talking about this incident after dinner.

After some antiques over 100 years old understood the cause and effect of this incident, they burst into tears, looked in a trance, and prayed day and night.

A wave of unevenness has risen again and again. Seven days later, nearly 10 million centenarians in the world passed away one after another.

After the death of these old antiques, there was not even a corpse left, turned into clouds of smoke and rose into the void and disappeared, shocking some experts from all over the world rushed to the deceased's home to find out.

A year later, the uproar that shocked the world had gradually subsided, and some experts had not studied anything of value, and they had dispersed.

The damaged bridge was rerouted by the unanimous decision of the government, and a larger bridge was built one mile from the original site, named the 'Rebirth Bridge', which was successfully ranked as the world's largest bridge and became the most magnificent bridge in the world.

The abandoned bridge is permanently cordoned off and no one is allowed to approach it.

By February, a year and seven months had passed since that incident, and people had long since returned to calm, and the cars were busy with their lives.

A mile away in the forbidden area, hundreds of birds that had been staying on the bridge suddenly scattered in horror, and their cries resounded through the world.

A strange picture reappeared in the river under the bridge. If anyone could see it, they would be scared out.

On the ruins in the picture, a young man is sitting cross-legged on top of a boulder.

The young man was dressed in a black suit, his long black hair fluttering in the wind, and a huge ancient tree appeared behind him, which disappeared after a few breaths.

"Nalan... You really don't want to tell me how I can go back?"

The young man's eyes slowly opened, he slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and turned his head to look at the girl in the distance, his face did not change at all.

The girl was dressed in a short white skirt, and her slender jade hand was holding a long sword with cold light, and she was dancing not far away, and her graceful posture was very moving.

The girl stopped moving when she heard the sound, sighed helplessly, and then the corners of her pink mouth rose slightly, "Hey... I said Mo Xuanyu, do you really want to go back? That world's aura is so thin that you can't cultivate at all, do you really want to be an ordinary person?"

The young man looked at the void with a lonely expression, and a tear slipped from the corner of his eye, "I miss you so much... Cher...".

The girl's body shook, a trace of bitterness flashed on her pretty face, and then she came to the young man.

"I'm sorry!"

"Does it work?"

After a moment, the boy closed his eyes, took a deep breath, shook his head, got up and walked into the distance.

The girl looked at the young man's back, bit her lower lip, and a string of crystal tears dripped down her white cheeks.

The sky gradually darkened, and the tall city wall in the distance was prominently engraved with three big characters, 'Ethereal City'.

According to legend, the 'Ethereal City' has existed since ancient times, and no one knows how many years it has passed. However, from the mouths of some old antiques, it is known that there are very powerful monsters suppressed under the ground of this city, and it is unknown what they are.

"Buns... The buns that have just come out of the cage, alas, the guest officer, do you want to have a bun, dog meat. ”

Mo Xuanyu stopped when he heard the sound, dropped a copper coin, and took two.

"No...!" Mo Xuanyu turned his head and handed the bun in his hand to the girl.

The girl was slightly stunned and looked at Mo Xuanyu in surprise.

"What? Don't you eat?"

"Uhhh ... Ah no!" the girl picked up the bun and took a small bite, and a rosy flush appeared on her face.

Since coming here, coming and going in the wind and rain, Mo Xuanyu has never thought that Nalan Xue'er, who is by his side, has always lived in his own world.

Mo Xuanyu looked at Nalan Xue'er with strange eyes, and said lightly: "I just don't want to bully a girl!", and strode forward.

Nalan Xue'er frowned and grabbed the bun in her hand tightly, her pink lips pursed Lao Gao, and her little feet stomped on the ground, "Hmph!".

"Keep up, if you can't find a place to live before dark, you'll have to sleep on the road..."

The boundary of Ethereal City is very large, and there is a road running through the north and south, and Mo Xuanyu and the others walked for nearly an hour before they saw the end, and on both sides of the road were some businesses, including blacksmith shops, firewood, rice, oil and salt stores, grain shops, pharmacies, and so on.

"Mengyou'an, well, the name is good, but I don't know what the environment is, Nalan, let's go in and have a look!" Mo Xuanyu looked at the signboard, greeted Nalan Xue'er and walked in.

"Yo... Two guest officers, do you want to stay in the hotel?" the shopkeeper saw the two young men come in and greeted them warmly.

"Give me two rooms. ”

"Yo... I'm really sorry, there is only one room left in our store, you see..."The shopkeeper said, his eyes glanced at the two of them, and there was an illusion in his heart, especially when he saw Nalan Xue'er's face, his saliva was about to flow out.

Nalan Xue'er turned her head in disgust and hid behind Mo Xuanyu.

Seeing this, Mo Xuanyu frowned, and said in a somewhat cold tone: "Then let's open one!

"Oh, good, good... Two of you, please!" The shopkeeper turned around with a smile on his face and led the two to the second floor.

"Two guest officers, this is your guest room, if you need anything, press this directly, and someone will come. The shopkeeper pointed to a wooden round button next to the door.

"Hmm!" Mo Xuanyu replied with a cold face.

"Then don't bother the two of you!" the shopkeeper turned around and walked downstairs, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

When Mo Xuanyu saw the shopkeeper leaving, he closed the door and turned his head to look at Nalan Xue'er, "You sleep on the bed!"

Nalan Xue'er was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Then where do you sleep?"

"Don't worry, I'll sleep on the ground!" Mo Xuanyu shook his head helplessly, picked up a quilt and walked to the side, and began to spread it out.

"Hey... Isn't it cold on the ground?" Nalan Xue'er bit her lip and said when she saw that Mo Xuanyu had really spread the quilt on the ground.

As if he hadn't heard, Mo Xuanyu laid out the quilt and got into it, and after a while, an even snoring sound sounded.

Seeing this, Nalan Xue'er pouted and got into the bed, and laughter came out from time to time, not knowing what she was thinking.

In the middle of the night, in the dead of night, there was a sudden 'creaking' sound of wooden floors being stepped on outside.

Mo Xuanyu woke up in his sleep, but did not get up, and continued to lie under the quilt pretending to be asleep.
