Chapter 95: The Ruins of the Ancient City
On the edge of the human and demon worlds, there is a forest full of vines and thorns.
A few lonely towering stone pillars surround a large area of the ruins of the ancient city, but if you look down from above, you can only see the huge canopy intertwined, and the sunlight casts through the dense foliage, reflecting countless small points of light on the ancient and solemn ruins.
A dark green moat winds its way around the ancient city, which looks like it has been abandoned for at least a hundred years, but has been getting a lot of smoke and fire in recent times.
Tal still liked to wear his robes, which were as dark as night, and after a morning of busy work inside and out, he finally managed to clean up a room where he could rest.
"Aman, you sit down and rest for a while, and I'll put up the window here and go and decoct it for you......" Tar fiddled with the broken window frame in his hand, thinking about how to perfectly fit it into the big hole in the wall that looked like a beast's mouth.
From beginning to end, he didn't use any divine power immortal method, only relied on one pair of hands, sweeping the floor, repairing the roof, and wiping the table, even if a sawdust pierced into the palm of his hand just now, he didn't do much to deal with it, just sucked the wound twice.
Yueman sat on the only wooden chair in the room with his chin propped up, which Tar had sent to the market of the human world to buy, and some pots and pans, stoves, simple beds made of wooden shelves, and some cabinets in the same batch.
"Tar, are you really going to live here?" Yueman changed his hands to his cheeks, looked at Tal with interest and said.
After working hard for a long time, Tal finally shoved the window frame into the wall with brute force, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said, "The benefactor is about to die, so there must be a place to stay." โ
"You're going to use this shabby place to greet your benefactor?" Yueman looked around at the dark and somewhat outdated furnishings in the room, and suddenly felt sour, and muttered to himself a little gloomily: "But...... We don't seem to have a better place to go, right......"
"Aman, don't be sad," Tal heard the emotion in Yueman's words, and immediately put down the work in his hand and walked over, comforting her: "Don't worry, wait for me to clean up for two more days...... There are a lot of discarded stone and wooden beams outside, so I'll build a few more rooms and leave the one with the best and brightest light for you and Ah Chi, okay? โ
Yueman stared at Tรกr's slightly tired eyes, and suddenly burst out laughing, she sighed softly, and the expression on her face quickly relaxed and soothed.
"By the way, what about the rot? And Ah Luo...... "Yueman seemed to remember something, and stood up on the table to go out."
"You sit down, you just sit down!" Tal hurriedly stopped her, "Your injuries in the past have not healed, although you have the divine power of the benefactor, you still need to pay attention everywhere." โ
In the past, the god realm rebelled, and when the demon world led by the demon lord Huangxia joined the suppression army, the million guard corps led by the sun god and the moon god were defeated and retreated, and finally, in order to cover the sun god and a group of juniors to successfully withdraw from the battlefield, the moon man had no choice but to sacrifice himself.
However, when Yueman, who thought she was going to die, was hovering on the verge of dissipating her spirit, a powerful force rescued her only remaining trace of spirit, and finally helped her reshape her soul, so that she could return to the body that should have died together, but was saved by the power of the ancestor with a formation at the last moment.
"Yes...... But what about the ghost mushrooms we brought back from the underworld? โ
"You don't have to worry about it, Ah Luo has already put all those ghost brain mushrooms into the Giant Spirit Altar, plus the Origin Array Eye refined by the benefactor himself, everything is acting according to the plan......
Tal walked over to the door and shouted into the distance.
A scaly light suddenly flashed on the overgrown shore, and Yue Man looked in that direction curiously, only to see a huge figure covered with green aquatic plants suddenly jumped out of the water, and only stayed in mid-air for a short breath, and then burrowed headfirst into the water again, splashing a few dazzling splashes.
"Look, the Rotten are having a lot of fun." Tal turned back to Yueman.
"Speaking of rot, it seems that the rot is different from us, what ......the hell is he" Yue Man paused halfway through his words, and he didn't know how to describe such a half-human, half-fish guy with an extreme stench all over his body.
"It's a monster formed by the corrupt breath of all things over the years, I don't know what method the benefactor used to communicate with it, don't ......" Tar pondered for a while, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Except that the smell is a little unacceptable, but he is a trustworthy guy." โ
After all, if it weren't for an existence like it, which was full of thousands of corrupt qi, and wanted to grow and cultivate ghost brain mushrooms at the bottom of the Aglon River in the underworld? That's a fantasy.
"Well, since there is nothing I need to worry about, I still follow the 'instructions' and have a good rest," Yueman tilted his head and smiled, and teased: "It's a pity that this chair is the only one in the room that can sit and rest for a while, but after sitting for a long time, it feels boring and boring......"
"Oh, that, I'll make the bed first," Tal didn't look like a first-generation god at all, and the whole thing looked like an errand boy, "To be honest, I experienced the feeling of sleeping with a quilt when I was investigating the human world, you know, it's really comfortable!" It's like sleeping in a ball of cotton......"
Yueman glanced at him and said disdainfully, "The quilt is already stuffed with cotton, okay?" โ
"Hey, hey, hey." Only in front of Yueman, Tal will show a bit of an honest and innocent attitude like a cyclops.
And at this time, the one-eyed Arrow is encountering the biggest crisis since his birth!
Previously, he felt that his body was too large and inconvenient at every turn, and he was also very envious of being able to have an ordinary body like the night god and the sun god, so he prayed to the power of the ancestors, hoping to borrow some power to learn the art of change, so that he could freely control the size of his body.
How do you know that the difficulty of changing oneself is far greater than using the divine power immortal method to change everything, Ah Luo accidentally shrunk his body to the size of a fingernail, and he was originally responsible for taking care of the ghost brain mushroom and the giant spirit altar, and it took nearly two days for all six arms to be used, and finally climbed into the room where Tal and Yueman were.
"Tรกr! Tal! Help me! Arrow waved his six arms, trying to get Tar's attention, like a young spider with teeth and claws.
"Huh? I seem to feel the breath of Arrow......" Tal was pounding against the bed board and suddenly put down the hammer in his hand.
"I seem to hear Arrow's call too, it's just ......"
Yueman and Tal looked at each other and said in unison, "Where is he?" โ
Just when the two of them were a little confused, suddenly a scream came from the distant sky, and suddenly, there was a burning sensation from the pavement above the entire ancient city, and Yueman was immediately surprised, and he didn't care what he had just heard the call, and hurriedly greeted him.
"Ahh My arm, hey, my face ......" After getting smaller, Ah Luo was suddenly stepped on by Yueman, but after all, his body was strong, and even if he encountered the gravity of Mount Tai's overwhelming, he would not want to hurt him for half a point.
It's a pity that Yueman's foot was impartial, and he happened to step half of his body into the crack in the wooden floor, which made him scream in pain.
And as the burning sensation got closer and closer, Ah Luo, who finally crawled out of the crack in the floor, was trampled on again with a more "inhumane" step.
"Aman! I miss you so much, are you okay? The man fell from the sky, a fiery red robe almost as dazzling as a burning flame, and the clear and enthusiastic young man hugged Yueman, and his arms wrapped around Yueman's shoulders, as if hugging the whole world.
"Ah Chi ......" Yueman was so excited that she could barely speak, smelling the fragrance of sunlight on the other party's body, she rubbed her head twice on the man's chest.
"Ahem, that...... Achi, you're back. Tal stood a few paces away, did not step forward, and greeted the visitor with a smile.
The sun is the only one of the sun gods since the creation of the world, he and the moon god come from the gift of the creation god, the sun is the left eye of the creation god, and the moon god is the right eye, they should be a natural pair.
