Chapter 44: A Broken Future
When he really entered the house, he found that the scene inside the house was even more unbearable, with a large hole in the center of the roof and the surrounding walls basically falling off.
As far as the eye could see, there was only one statue left in the house, except for weeds and dust.
The height of the idol is about two meters, and the surface of the body is also covered with dust, although the face of the idol has become a little blurred due to age, but the colorful chessboard in its hand is very conspicuous.
Looking at this statue of a god holding a chessboard, Xu Han fell into deep thought, in his impression, there were no bodhisattvas or immortals holding a chessboard in ancient China, not to mention that the chess pieces were still colored.
And the only one who can get a little bit of edge is the chess clan, one of the four ancient clans in the legend.
Legend has it that a long time ago, the land of China was not peaceful, when demons were rampant, they specialized in feeding on human brains, and thousands of people died every day, which became their rations.
Although the human race desperately resisted this, but the demons were too powerful, and people had no choice but to pray to God day and night, hoping that there would be immortals to get rid of the demons and save the people from fire and water.
Perhaps it was really sincerity that moved the heavens, just when the human race was about to die and be wounded, the sky suddenly thundered, accompanied by a burst of divine light, and four treasures fell from the sky.
They are a guqin, a chessboard, a book, and a brush.
And coincidentally, these treasures shining with divine light were picked up by four impoverished scholars almost at the same time, and the four of them were overjoyed at the moment, they teamed up to defeat the demons with the treasures, and worked together to seal the demons in another time and space, which led to the peaceful and prosperous era afterward.
And it is said that it was also from that time that the human race began to awaken the primordial soul intermittently, and the awakened primordial soul was a gift from God, and the awakened person was called the darling of God.
It is no exaggeration to say that the four ancient clans can be said to be the source of all Yuan Soul Masters, although they are only a legend and only exist in stories.
"Ahh
"Hiss~ Why is it so cold all of a sudden?"
Wiping a handful on his nose, Xu Han couldn't help but shrink his neck, feeling the chill surging up all around, he looked around suspiciously, and it turned out that everything was the way it was, and there was nothing suspicious.
And this chill seems to appear out of thin air, which is really a bit unbelievable.
Looking up at the statue, Xu Han tentatively stretched out his hand, hesitated slightly, and lightly touched one of the chess pieces.
As soon as the two came into contact, Xu Han felt the sky spinning, and when he opened his eyes and regained consciousness, he found that he was floating in the sky, and under his feet was a ruined land.
When you look up, you can see that the sky-high buildings are collapsing or leaning, and the ground is full of ruins and broken walls, billowing smoke.
In all corners of the city, the screaming crowd trampled on the corpses on the ground and fled into the distance, but without exception, death awaited them.
Looking at the hellish scene in front of him, Xu Han couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, "Where the hell is this? and what happened?"
Just when he was puzzled, he suddenly saw a fighter plane flying in the distance, and their speed was so fast that Xu Han was forced out by the fighter before he could react.
When he opened his closed eyes, he found that he was still standing in the same place, his whole body unscathed, but just now he was obviously hit by that fighter plane, what the hell is going on?
Always floating in the sky, Xu Han also felt very uncomfortable, and immediately decided to land first, but after several attempts, he found that he couldn't take a single step except turning around, just like he had lost control of his legs, and he couldn't lift it.
A strong uneasiness swelled up in his heart, and only a "boom" was heard, and a warplane swept past him in billowing smoke, and then crashed into a tilted building, and there was a violent explosion.
Turning around in surprise, he saw a group of warplanes in the sky behind him spitting lasers, attacking a monster in the center.
It is called a monster because of its oversized size and bat-like wings behind it, and its fanged mouth spews out green liquid every time it opens, and everything it touches is instantly corroded.
Although the fighters seemed to be very powerful, they could not cause any substantial damage to the monsters, and after a while, dozens of fighters all fell.
"Haha, with you stinky fish and rotten shrimp still want to stop the footsteps of this king, when I set foot on this Hua country, the whole earth will return to the hands of my clan!"
With a wild laugh, the monster spread its wings and flew into the sky, gradually turning into a small black dot and soon disappearing completely from the sky.
Just when Xu Han thought that the matter was over like this, there was a sudden lightning and thunder in the sky, and a touch of golden light burst in the air, accompanied by a golden rain in the sky, and the monster that had just left fell from the sky like a meteor, smashing a big hole on the ground.
didn't expect the plot to reverse so quickly, Xu Han's eyes widened.
Under his gaze, four old men floated down from the sky, each holding a glittering treasure in their hands, and walked through the air like immortals.
"That man is...... Statues in Taoist temples?" Seeing one of the old men holding a chessboard, Xu Han's face was full of shock, but what happened next made his mouth open even wider.
I saw that the four treasures were thrown into the sky at the same time, and then they quickly grew larger, and they emitted infinite golden light, even faintly overshadowing the sun's rays.
When the golden light disappeared, a fragmented scroll spread out in the sky, and from the jagged perimeter of the scroll, it could be seen that this should be only a small part of the complete scroll, but even so, the scroll was still full of oppressive desolation.
As the scroll appeared, the high altitude it was in seemed to be unable to withstand the breath and collapsed, revealing a deep void that seemed so out of place with the smoke-filled sky around it.
At this time, in the big pit on the ground, the monster slowly crawled out, one of its arms had disappeared, and the wound continued to drip black liquid, flowing down the broken bones to the ground, looking hideous and terrifying.
"You damned false gods, this king is going to ...... today This...... This is the picture! You have the ability to summon it!" When he saw the broken scroll above his head, the monster's initial ferocity disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by endless fear, as if he had seen his own natural enemy.
The Broken Scroll sensed the monster below and began to spin slowly, and then a colorful god erupted from it, catching up with the monster that was running wildly in an instant.
After a terrible scream, the monster disappeared with the divine light, leaving only devastation in sight.
"Hey, can anyone hear me, can anyone tell me what the hell is going on!" Xu Han opened his voice and shouted, but found that although he was working hard, he couldn't make a sound at all at this time, no matter how big his mouth opened, it was useless.
"And the Huaguo I just mentioned, this is not the future Huaguo? But how did I get here? Xu Han had countless questions in his heart, but at this moment, he couldn't speak, he could only hold it in his heart, and he was quite uncomfortable.
After the monster was destroyed, the broken picture scroll in the sky slowly stopped rotating, and the four old men below stretched out their hands at the same time, as if they wanted to recall the four treasures.
But things didn't develop as Xu Han thought, only to see that the broken picture scroll that was about to stop suddenly trembled, and a large amount of colorful light erupted from it, as if it was fiercely confronting something.
Seeing this, the faces of the four old men suddenly changed greatly, and they hurriedly flew to the side of the scroll to bless it.
But without a few breaths, the remnant picture that was still beautiful just now exploded in Xu Han's stunned eyes and shattered into colorful points of light in the sky.
And the four old men also spurted out a mouthful of blood at the same time, their faces instantly turned pale, and they fell sharply downward.
