Chapter 104: Catastrophe
"Luo Changtian set up a large array, going back to three thousand years ago, and counting everyone on the battlefield, I'm afraid we are not the only ones who came here. Xuan Lingzi's face was a little solemn.
Ah Lan blurted out, "Why did he do this?!"
Xuan Lingzi didn't give Ah Lan an answer, he looked in one direction, his brows frowned slightly, his long hair was blown up by the wind, sweeping his face, I don't know if it was because of the light, in Ah Lan's opinion, his expression was a little dark.
"Can you go?" he looked at Lan and asked her, "Let's get out of here." "
He stretched out his hand to Ah Lan, who shook his head and gritted his teeth to stand up on his own.
She followed behind Xuan Lingzi, and the two walked towards the distance together, and Xuan Lingzi also walked very slowly in order to take care of her speed.
Ah Lan had some doubts in her heart, she was a mortal now and couldn't use spells, but Xuan Lingzi was not, why didn't he use flying magic weapons?
Although she didn't ask, Xuan Lingzi was keenly aware of her gaze. Knowing what she was thinking, he said, "Luo Changtian may have done something, my current cultivation is so suppressed that I can't even fly with the sword, and others must not be much better than me." "
Ah Lan was shocked again.
Can't even fly Edgeworth? That's not much better than a mortal!
This is also what Luo Changtian did, but what does Luo Changtian want to do?
She was so close to him that she had never heard him reveal his plans.
Ah Lan's heart went up and down.
Also, where is Luo Changtian now?
After walking for about an hour, Ah Lan finally appeared in their field of vision, not those in the immortal cultivation realm, but some ordinary people, all of them with yellow faces and thin muscles, withered descriptions, and walking corpses staggering on the road, like disaster victims.
At first, I only met one or two, but gradually I met more and more people, and there were even corpses in the wilderness, as if they suddenly died on the road while walking.
"Immortals, save us!"
"Help us!!"
Someone walked, and suddenly fell to the ground weakly, crying out in despair, tears running across his thin and sallow face.
The others were driven by his emotions, and the cries of grief became more and more, and there were constantly figures falling, and some were pulled up. Barely able to follow, but some never got back up again.
In such an atmosphere, Ah Lan felt like she was about to suffocate, and she couldn't walk a little anymore, "They...... What's wrong?"
Xuan Lingzi looked at all this, was silent for a moment, and said: "According to records, three thousand years ago, there was a catastrophe, and we should have come to that time. "
Catastrophe?
After being reminded by him, Ah Lan also remembered some. Xuan Lingzi hadn't told her before, but she had heard about it later.
It is said that 3,000 years ago, a gap suddenly appeared somewhere in the world, causing the continuous leakage of aura and vitality.
And with the disappearance of aura and vitality, the monk can no longer cultivate, and even the cultivation is regressing day by day, even the power of the immortal cultivation realm is not spared, and the mortal body is getting weaker and weaker, as if he has been poisoned, and the aging is accelerated, and a child of four or five years old can grow into a teenager in a few days, and then quickly become a young man, and then become a dying old man, and die quickly in a few days.
Seeing that hundreds of millions of living beings were about to die, several immortals in the upper realm finally came to the lower realm to assist the immortal cultivation realm and the mortal realm, and together they repaired the gap in the world and survived the catastrophe.
Is that time what they are coming to now?
Lan was stunned.
Then he wondered, why did Luo Changtian let everyone go back to this time? What did he want to do?
Looking at the scene in front of him again, even though he knew that there would be a turnaround in the end, Ah Lan was still extremely uncomfortable.
She withdrew her gaze and followed in Xuan Lingzi's footsteps.
After another two hours, they entered a city, but the city was also lifeless, and it was only seen from the exterior of the streets, such as the layout of the streets, how prosperous it had been.
They could barely hear human voices, as if it were a dead city.
Xuan Lingzi walked straight to the City Lord's Mansion, he raised his hand and knocked on the closed door, and after a long while, someone slowly pulled people away from inside.
The one who opened the door was an old woman, but she was wearing the clothes of a young girl.
Seeing Xuan Lingzi and Ah Lan, she was stunned.
After a long time, he trembled his voice and asked, "You, who are you...... Are you immortals? Are you here to save us?"
She plopped down and knelt down, crying and shouting, "The immortals are coming! The immortals are coming! Dad, the immortals are coming to save us!"
Soon there was a sound of footsteps inside, and after a while, several people ran out, and they were also aging abnormally like those outside, but they seemed to be much more slight, and the middle-aged man in the lead looked only a little weak.
Seeing Ah Lan and the two, several people were also stunned, "...... Immortals, are they immortals?"
Someone jumped up and knelt down at the same time, and went to pull the hem of Xuan Lingzi's clothes.
"It's not. Xuan Lingzi denied.
No?
The middle-aged man looked at Ah Lan and the two in disbelief, if they weren't immortals, how could they have such a bearing? If they weren't immortals, how could they resist this strange aging?
"Two ...... Is it a monk?" asked the middle-aged man.
Xuan Lingzi nodded.
Getting this answer, the middle-aged man and the others were obviously a little disappointed, but their eyes were still shining.
They are also all monks, so the situation can be more slight than others, just look at Xuan Lingzi and Ah Lan are almost unaffected, how high is the cultivation?
"I'm here to ask you something. Xuan Lingzi said.
The middle-aged man respectfully invited the two in, sighed and said, "I must know everything." "
After entering, the middle-aged man told Ah Lan and Xuan Lingzi everything he knew.
His surname was Gu, and he was the lord of the city. At the same time, he is also a monk, and now in the city lord's mansion, in addition to him and his family, there are many backbones in the city, as well as some of his relatives and friends, all of whom are monks from other places.
"...... The people in the city are almost gone, and they think they will find a way to survive when they go out, but I went out once before, and there is no way out there. The Gu City Lord shook his head and sighed as he spoke, with water trails in the corners of his eyes, "There are two formations set up by our ancestors in my City Lord's Mansion, which can barely resist some of those strange forces, so after discussion, we decided to stay here so that we can delay some time." "
"Haven't you tried to figure out how to solve the situation? If you don't do anything, sooner or later you'll become like those people out there. Ah Lan couldn't help but say.
Someone on the side shook his head, "Fellow Daoist said it simply, but how could we not have tried? "
"We have also kept in touch with fellow Daoists in other places, and now we know that the cause of this situation is that there is a gap somewhere, which causes the aura and vitality to leak, and I think that as long as we repair the gap, everything can be solved, but no one has been able to think of a feasible solution so far. "
"If it continues, this world will soon be ruined, and the immortals in the upper realm will not sit idly by, thinking that it won't be long before there will be immortals in the lower realm, and they will definitely know how to solve this problem at that time. "
Xuan Lingzi frowned imperceptibly, and said, "If you want to wait for the upper realm to rescue, I don't know when, the lower realm must have been seriously injured by then, why don't you try to save yourself?"
Everyone else smiled wryly.
A dark color flashed in Xuan Lingzi's eyes, and he said, "Have you ever inquired about the situation in the Demon Realm?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone else looked at him, their eyes could not hide their surprise, and they glanced at each other with the people next to them, and the Gu City Lord said, "It turns out that Daoyou also knows." "
Got it?
Ah Lan looked over in bewilderment.
Gu City Lord said: "According to the situation that came back from the investigation, now the Immortal Cultivation Realm and the Mortal Realm have been affected the most, and the Demon Realm has not escaped, only the Demon Realm, as in the past, this accident has no impact on them at all! We all speculate that if we want to repair the gap, we can start from this aspect, but, in the end, it is found that the theory may work, but first, we have to find a demon who is at least stronger than the Mahayana period, and use it as a whole as a material to make it possible to repair the gap." "
Ah Lan's heart jumped inexplicably, and he suddenly couldn't help but think, how did those immortals solve the problem after they went to the lower realm?
"It's just ......," the Valley City Lord said, and there was a sigh in the hall.
The strength is at least beyond the Mahayana period. Then to the level of ascension, such a person is not easy to find in the immortal cultivation world, and in the demon realm, which has been suppressed by the immortal cultivation world for nearly a hundred years, it is even more impossible.
Not to mention that the Demon Realm has not seen a Mahayana Demon Cultivator for hundreds of years, even if there is, it will also soar quickly, how can it be possible to give them a chance to catch it?
"In the final analysis, the key demonic qi that can repair the gap, one ordinary demonic cultivation demonic qi is not enough, then what about the entire demonic realm? Is this feasible?" someone suddenly asked.
There was a discussion in the hall about this conjecture.
Xuan Lingzi didn't know what he was thinking, he didn't speak for a long time, and only occasionally interjected when people asked about him.
Hearing them say these words, Ah Lan somehow suddenly felt uneasy.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that her face was different, Xuan Lingzi asked her softly.
Lan shook his head.
She suddenly thought of Luo Changtian, he had also arrived here, where was he now, how was the situation?
As soon as she thought of Luo Changtian, she realized how dangerous his situation would be, although she didn't know how the original problem was solved, but now that Luo Changtian was here, if he was discovered by these people, he would definitely be a target and try to capture him to repair the gap.
Shizun said that his cultivation was suppressed to the point that he couldn't even fly with the sword, so what about Luo Changtian?
If he is also in the same situation as Shizun, then these monks are so powerful, if they really bump into each other at that time, how can he be an opponent!
After discussing it for a long time, in the end, there was no charter, and seeing that Ah Lan was absent-minded, the daughter of the Gu City Lord said, "Daoist friends are tired, right?
Ah Lan smiled and said, "Thank you." "
She got up to leave, and Xuan Lingzi followed her out of the hall.
The subordinates in the City Lord's Mansion are almost dead, and there are few left, all of whom have cultivated.
It was the daughter of the city lord of the valley who led the way, the one who opened the door for them before, looking very old, but dressed like a girl, Ah Lan guessed that she was not very old.
I couldn't help but ask, "Your father is a monk, didn't you follow the cultivation?"
The other party was slightly stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "It's not that you can avoid a catastrophe after cultivating, there is actually no difference between monks and mortals, they will all age rapidly and die in a very short time." It's just that unlike mortals, monks will be slower because they have cultivation as a protection, but when the cultivation on their bodies slowly disappears, it will also end the same. My cultivation talent is not good, and I have only reached the Qi refining period after many years of cultivation, so my cultivation quickly disappeared, and I became what I am now, and I may not last long......"
Her smile became more and more bitter, and without waiting for Ah Lan to comfort her, she added, "Dao Friendship seems to know very little about this. Did he just come out of some secluded sect? Daoyou's appearance seemed almost unaffected, and he must have cultivated very profoundly. "
Her eyes were very envious.
She couldn't feel any cultivation in Ah Lan, and after being puzzled for a moment, she guessed that Ah Lan's cultivation was already so high that she couldn't reach it, so she couldn't see it.
She didn't say it, and Ah Lan didn't explain the misunderstanding.
She didn't know if she would be affected by this environment, and if she clarified it at this time, it would be difficult for people to see her strange appearance at that time.
"I'll be able to go over myself, thank you. Ah Lan asked the other party to point to the place, and then he didn't bother to send it over in person.
Waiting for them to leave, Ah Lan turned around and saw Xuan Lingzi not far behind her.
She looked at him cautiously and tentatively said, "I want to get out of here." "
Xuan Lingzi frowned and said, "Now that the demon cultivation is raging outside, leaving is not a good choice. "
At this time, the demon cultivators were not the same as those three thousand years later, all of them had evil thoughts, cruel temperaments, and stood on the opposite side of the impossible reconciliation with the righteous path, and it was almost impossible to find a good person from it.
According to the Gu City Lord and others, it is now because it is not affected by the environment. Demon cultivation is more rampant than ever, and there are even many mortal monks who use it as prey to catch and play, and if Ah Lan leaves, he will definitely encounter a lot of danger.
And she is not only a mortal who has no power to restrain chickens, but also a pregnant woman who is pregnant with Rokka.
Ah Lan had just guessed that he might have other things to do and would not go with her, but now listening to his words, he confirmed what he had just thought.
She quietly tried the Sumeru Ring and found that many of the magic weapons in it could not be taken out, but there were still some low-level magic weapons that had been forgotten by her in the past that could still be taken out and used, which could be used for self-protection.
So he said, "If you have anything, don't worry about me, I want to find someone." "
"Do you want to go to Luo Changtian?" Xuan Lingzi calmly said his conjecture.
Ah Lan bowed his head and said, "Yes, I'm going to find him." "
