Chapter 1: The Cliff of Judgment
Zhuangren Bridge is located in the most treacherous area of the Xuqin Mountains - the Judgment Cliff.
The judgment cliff, within a hundred miles, not a single inch of grass grows. The purple-black fog tightly locked the sky, and could not penetrate half of the light, and the faint blue light burned in the abyss, which was the only and eternal source of light for the Judgment Cliff. Standing on the cliff shore, it is as if facing the sea, but the blue sea of fire and the purple and black sky.
No one knew what would be at the bottom of the Abyssal Blue Flame, and no one knew what kind of corner the end of the purple mist was left behind by the world.
A bridge, starting from the cliff bank, flying across 800 steps, went deep into the purple mist and then broke in the center of the abyss, lying in the air, helpless, which made people sigh for miracles. It's not so much a bridge as it is a dock in the sky. There is a remnant monument at the head of the bridge, and a word "Zhuang" can be vaguely seen, so the descendants call it "Zhuangren Bridge". The word "Zhuang" has also become the only record of the cliff of judgment.
And it's not the only one, at least there's an ethereal legend······
"Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a war between humans and monsters that was related to the fate of the two races. The final Armageddon caused the heavens and the earth to collapse. Humanity has defeated the evil monster beast and dominated the entire world. Several ancient demon beast races have since declined and even become extinct······ The history since then is collectively referred to as the "New Era".
The unjust soul of the dead demon beast could not be dissipated, and finally condensed in the River Styx and turned into a huge fish called "Judgment". There is no consciousness in the judgment, only a soul filled with sorrow, pain, reluctance and anger. The extremely powerful soul was like a whirlpool, devouring the souls of past lives, and the overflowing energy formed blue flames and purple mist, locking the abyss. ”
- "Ancient Demon Chronicles" Volume 2: The Legend of Judgment
Originally, this was a folk legend. Until one day, after a hunter went deep into the Xuqin Mountain Range, after returning, his hands and feet began to feel cold, and his complexion gradually turned gray, but he couldn't find any symptoms. Three days later, the hunter died without illness, and an old doctor who had studied ancient books said that it was a symptom of being stripped of his soul, also known as "lost soul".
People suddenly remembered the legend that had been passed down from the old man's mouth, and remembered the sentence that devoured the soul. So, an expedition team assembled, and finally found a cliff locked by purple mist, a blue sea of fire, a remnant monument, and a broken bridge in the barren land in the deepest part of the Xuqin Mountain Range.
When the explorers returned, they all lost their souls. After all, a legend is a legend, and no one believes in the existence of a judgment, but people still call it the "cliff of judgment".
But what really makes the Judgment Cliff famous all over the world is not this legend, but the Zhuangren Bridge.
Not the bridge, to be precise, but the people on the bridge.
In front of the Zhuangren Bridge, an iron-clad man walked slowly with a trident. The Iron Man was covered in inky blue armor, even his eyelids, where the armor was not covered, and his blue skin was as hard as iron. In fact, his armor is his skin. The Iron Man is not strong, but he is very tall, with slender limbs, like an iron mantis, ready to burst out with amazing power.
"Poor Ying, the guardian demon beast of the ancient country of Jingchuan, only gave birth to one in one life. Whenever Jingchuan encounters a national disaster, he will use the prince as a sacrifice, send it to the altar, and ask the ancient Taoist doctor to preside over the ceremony to wake up the poor Ying in order to deal with the crisis······
Poor British iron body human form, can understand human speech, can make a trident. The iron armor is unbreakable, invulnerable, and invincible.
Due to the loss of ancient medical skills, until the war between the ancient kingdom of Jingchuan and the alliance of the Three Kingdoms in 3165 of the new era, the poor Ying was never born again. ”
- "Ancient Demon Chronicles" Volume 7 Jingchuan Poor Ying
In the year 3165 of the new era, Jin Jiyang, the king of Jingchuan, was seriously ill, and the combined forces of Yiguo, Heli and Ji invaded Jingchuan and approached Shaoyang, the capital of Jingchuan. The Jin royal family "rose" into the altar with the eldest prince to awaken the poor Ying. When the day was ugly, the alliance of the Three Kingdoms broke through the gate of Shaoyang City and besieged the gate of the imperial city. At the same time, Poor Ying was born, fought fiercely for several days, killed 80,000 allied troops, and expelled them to the border of the ancient country. In this battle, Jin Jiyang, the king of Jingchuan, was poisoned by the imperial doctor, and the princess Jin Huang disappeared in the chaos, and the only little prince Jin Jiyan succeeded to the throne. After poisoning the king's imperial doctor, he was imprisoned in a dungeon.
Of course, Qianying is not the owner of this place, he came here to make a deal with the people on the bridge.
The person on the bridge has made transactions with many people, but it is indeed rare to find the customers on the Zhuangren Bridge directly without fear of the danger of losing their souls.
The Zhuangren Bridge is not wide, just enough for two people to run side by side. The surrounding area is endless, and the void under the bridge is surging, and it is said that this is where the River Styx is located, and it is not without reason.
The only thing you can do on the Zhuangren Bridge is to follow the direction of the bridge and keep moving forward. Like a lonely boat in still water, Poor Ying firmly broke through the fog and sailed to the deepest secret realm. In the silence forgotten by time, Qianying came to the end of the Zhuangren Bridge.
The person in front of the monster is also a monster -
A young man with a body shape no different from that of an ordinary person, with a naked upper body, his bare skin showing a strange gray-blue color, and two neat seams on his left chest and abdomen made people shudder. His arms were covered in bandages and oozing with blood. A worn-out scarf covered the face from the nose down, and the white eyes had no pupils, and the face that should have been gentle and elegant looked particularly cold and gloomy.
It is this person who inherited the ancient medical Tao that has long been lost, and transformed himself into the legendary immortal body, so that he can live on the Zhuangren Bridge. Even if it is the vision of Qianying, who has the opportunity to come into contact with the ancient medical Tao, counting the people in front of him, there are only two people.
He is a miracle doctor who stands alone in the world, and he is also a strange doctor of a generation with a great reputation; he can live and die with flesh and bones, but the most memorable thing is that he turned an entire city into poisonous bones; he shows no mercy to the wicked, and he is not necessarily very kind to the good people; the changes in the situation in the world often stem from his moodiness.
He's an immortal monster doctor.
"Doctor, I heard that you can cure any disease. Have you cured my illness?" Qi Ying's voice was like a stone striking each other, and she couldn't hear any emotion.
He didn't seem to react. But anyone seeking medical treatment should keep in mind that the blame medicine system is to blame: what is forgotten, will always be remembered.
Poor English? The people I'm waiting for are coming?
He took out a small box from the medicine bag beside him, and picked out a dark green needle from the box. With his right hand, he carefully pinched the needle, slowly pierced into the junction between his cervical spine and the back of his head, twisted it several times like unlocking, and made a "rustling" sound of the tip of the needle rubbing against the bone seam. Even if she was poor, when she saw this scene, she couldn't help but feel a little chill.
Your Highness, you're finally here.
