Chapter 24: The City of Doom
Zhou Wen was completely messy, and he said that he wanted another bowl of Meng Po soup, and Yang Lao didn't pull it out. And a bowl of Meng Po soup is only three ingots of Shengjin Stone. But Yang Lao was willing to give out ten ingots of holy gold stones for the sake of a broken bowl that was about to break.
"Master." Zhou Wen shouted. "Isn't it just a broken bowl, isn't ten ingots too high?"
Seeing that Yang Lao was about to give away ten ingots of Saint Gold Stone, even Zhou Wen felt a little painful.
"If you have a lot of holy gold stones and no flowers, you can come to play Meng Po soup for me again."
"Shut up." Elder Yang turned around and glared at Zhou Wen. Then he turned around, looked at the Meng Po, and said, "How is it, sell it or not?" β
"You want me to eat with ten ingots of holy stones? Not sold. Meng Po said.
"Then, I'll give you twenty ingots." Yang Lao thought about it for a while, and added ten more ingots of Saint Gold Stone.
"Twenty ingots?" That Meng Po also seemed to be a little moved, but in the end she refused, saying, "Don't sell it." β
"Then how about I buy you this spoon with my twenty ingots of Saint Gold Stone?" Yang Lao saw that this broken bowl was useless, so he aimed his eyes at the spoon that shook Meng Po soup.
"This one does." Meng Po's eyes lit up, and she immediately picked up the spoon and handed it to Yang Lao.
Yang Lao took the spoon and handed the twenty ingots of Saint Gold Stone to Meng Po's hand, then looked at Zhou Wen and said, "Let's go." β
Zhou Wen looked at the big pot of Meng Po soup and only swallowed his saliva.
"Master." Zhou Wen shouted, "Twenty ingots of Saint Gold Stone to buy such a broken wooden spoon, it's not cost-effective." β
"Fool, this is not a broken wooden spoon, this is an artifact." Yang Lao played with the spoon in his hand, "In the forbidden land of heavenly punishment, there are treasures everywhere, and everything is a treasure." β
"Really?" Zhou Wen's eyes lit up, he took the spoon from Yang Lao's hand and played with it.
This spoon was held in Zhou Wen's hand, as if he was holding a feather, and it had almost no mass. Although the appearance of the spoon looks simple and old, there is an inexplicable warmth in the hand. And if you look closely, there are strange lines on this spoon, and the ravines are crisscrossed and intertwined, which seems to contain some kind of information.
Zhou Wen turned on the fiery eyes, the fiery eyes can see through the essence of things, Zhou Wen looked over, the spoon did not change, but there was a faint black gas shrouded in the periphery. The black gas swirled and gradually turned into a skull, and there was ghost fire beating in the eye sockets.
Zhou Wen was startled and threw the spoon in his hand. When he looked at it again, the black gas was wrapped around his hands. And it gradually seeped through the pores. Zhou Wen removed his fiery eyes and looked at them with the naked eye, and found that his hands were as white as jade, without the slightest flaw. The black gas can only be seen with fiery eyes.
Zhou Wen activated his fiery eyes again, looked at Yang Lao's hands, and found that Yang Lao's hands were also entangled with black gas, and gradually drilled into the pores.
"Master, this spoon is ominous." Zhou Wen said with a stern expression. "I just saw with my fiery eyes that this spoon was full of black gas, and after we took the spoon, the black gas was transferred to our hands."
Yang Lao bent down, picked up the spoon again, and said, "I know for the teacher." In this forbidden land, everything is a treasure, but everything is a bad thing. β
"Huh? And what about you? Zhou Wen was very strange, since Yang Lao knew that everything in it was hoodoo, why did he insist on buying this spoon?
"Are you puzzled?" Elder Yang looked at Zhou Wen and asked.
"Please also ask the master to solve the doubts of the apprentice." Zhou Wen said sincerely, he was really puzzled.
"This spoon was bought for you." Yang Lao said.
"Bought it for me?" Zhou Wen was even more puzzled.
"Didn't you drink Meng Po soup just now? Meng Po Tang is one of the few divine products in this Heavenly Punishment Forbidden Land that can dissolve this ominous black qi. So this black gas is harmless to you. Elder Yang explained. And a bowl of Meng Po soup is enough, and too much is useless. β
"But you?" Zhou Wen said, "You are also contaminated with ominous black gas, and you have not drunk Meng Po soup. β
There was a hint of pathos in Yang Lao's expression, and he said, "That Meng Po soup is useless to me. β
Zhou Wen sensed the change in Yang Lao and said, "Master." β
Elder Yang said: "You have to understand that this time you enter the Heaven and Punish the Forbidden Land, everything is for you. Time is running out for teaching, so I can only help you as much as I can. β
"Time is running out?" When Zhou Wen heard these four words, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and he immediately said urgently: "Master." β
"I know you're weird. But there are some things, even if I say them now, you may not be able to understand them, and only when you reach the level of being a teacher step by step, you will know why I said that. Now you only need to know one thing, thinking that the current realm of the teacher, in this heavenly punishment forbidden land, is enough to protect you, and you don't need to worry. β
When Zhou Wen heard this, he suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.
At the beginning, Linglong Immortal also said the same thing to herself, you have not reached my realm, and you can't understand me at all.
Realm, realm, realm is vision, experience, and depth.
Zhou Wen finally understood one thing.
The realm is not only the level of cultivation, but also a distinction in qualifications, experience, and vision.
"Master, I-" Zhou Wen suddenly felt a kind of guilt in his heart, Yang Lao was single-minded, and went deep into the forbidden land of heavenly punishment, everything was just for himself. And he still has scruples left and right, can't fully trust him, and hides the secret in his heart. So Zhou Wen decided to reveal the secret.
However, before he could say anything, Yang Lao raised his hand to stop his words.
"I know you have secrets, even if it's my cultivation, I can't see through your secrets. However, everyone should have their own secrets, so you don't need to reveal your secrets to your teacher. Just keep your heart intact. β
When Zhou Wen heard this, he had to give up.
"Let's keep walking." Yang Lao said.
The two of them got off the bridge, and in front of them was a desert, not like the usual forest before. In this desert, there is no grass, the whole land is dark brown, and the sky seems to be black, not as clear and translucent as before. Even the sun is black and not a little angry.
Zhou Wen knew that this was entering the hinterland of the Heavenly Punishment Forbidden Land, and it was really entering the Great Dangerous Land.
It's like a real hell.
Crossing the Huangquan River and crossing the Nai He Bridge is the real hell.
Thus all judgment beginsβ
The allusion says that this is made by the great power to simulate hell.
Zhou Wen and Yang Lao kept moving forward in this desert land, until they walked out for a few hours, and Zhou Wen glimpsed from a distance, at the end of this desert land, a magnificent city loomed.
There the sun sinks, and the heavens and the earth fall, as if after the end of the world.
That city was called the City of Doom, also known as the Ghost Town.
"The fruit grows there." Yang Lao pointed to the city of doom.
The two of them continued on their way towards the city of Doom at the end of the desert. The deeper I got, the more I felt a yin wind blowing on my face, and it seemed that I could faintly hear crying. Moreover, there was even a strong wind blowing in this desert place, and a hurricane struck, and Zhou Wen and Yang Lao were struggling against the hurricane.
The cold wind was like a knife, blowing on the body, as if there was a knife and then cutting. The tingling sensation was heart-wrenching, deep into the bone marrow, and unbearable. Above Zhou Wen's head, the Nine Tribulation Wheel Bottle continued to have a halo of light casting, and under this terrible hurricane, it was also a little weak.
The Nine Tribulation Wheel Bottle is under attack.
There is no bunker in this desert land, and the only harbor is the city of doom.
At this point, the suppression of the Heavenly Punishment Forbidden Land is even worse, and he can't use the slightest cultivation, just like a mortal. But Zhou Wen was not suppressed, and the domineering energy in his body operated wildly under the pressure of this hurricane. But the pain of the hurricane blowing on the body did not diminish in the slightest.
Domineering can't affect this hurricane, and this heavenly punishment forbidden land can't suppress domineering.
But Zhou Wen felt that this was an alternative experience, a tempering of the body.
The dark sun in the sky was gradually moving westward, and it was gradually on the horizon, and it hung above the city of Doom. Finally, when the black sun failed to completely fall, Zhou Wen, Yang Lao and others arrived at this city of doom.
The city of doom is very majestic, grandiose, with black walls tens of thousands of feet high, almost trying to pierce the sky. The wall stretches to the left and right, seemingly reaching into an infinite distance, with no end in sight. The black sun sank, and the whole world became darker and darker, and the hurricane howled, like ghosts and gods crying.
Zhou Wen, Yang Lao and the others stood under the huge walls of the Doomsday City, and the background of the majestic city gate was completely black. On the gate of the city was printed a yin and yang diagram, one side was as black as ink, and the other was as white as jade. The two small fish, black and white, hugged each other, and there was an inexplicable way out of the way.
Standing in front of this huge yin and yang diagram, Zhou Wen had a feeling of instant enlightenment.
And directly above the city gate, the huge door plate was engraved with two large gilt letters: Judgment.
There are more than a dozen large characters on the left and right sides, and on the left side is: good and evil things in front of and behind the body are judged here, and where to go before and after death is decided here.
Just as Zhou Wen finished reading these two columns, the black and white fish on the tight black gate seemed to come alive and swim with each other, and at the same time, only a clattering sound was heard, accompanied by a squeak, and the gate of the city of doom opened.
Immediately afterwards, a flood of aura surged out, mixed with bursts of yin wind roaring.
Zhou Wen looked inside, neat streets were laid out in front of him, this city of doom had similarities with the construction of every city in the Endless Continent, but it was different. The feeling speaks for itself.
Zhou Wen stood in front of this city gate, only feeling that he was small, like a drop in the ocean, negligible.
"Let's go." Yang Lao's eyes were also a little shocked, and then he said.
Immediately afterward, the two of them stepped into the city gate one after another.
