In the world of ancient bells, as the final destination of the two directions, City Twelve has countless legends.

The first is the classical myths and legends of the ancient factions.

It is rumored that the twelfth inhabits the guardian of the ancient bell world, he is the only god in heaven and earth, there is no gender, no past, no future, even if he comes to you, no one will know, where he came from, and there will be no memory about him.

He will appear at some point in the world at any time. The whole world is running in his body, and it is said that he always sits in a daze, looking at the other side of the world, a river flows between the palms of his hands, holding the past in his left hand, and the future in his right hand, flowing river, which can appear at any point in time in the world, and can reach the past, present and future.

There are also a lot of mythical stories about guardians, the reason why they are mythological stories, you know that it is quite nonsense when you hear it, and the legend is that the guardians are incarnated into tens of millions, appearing in the world in various capacities at various points in time.

For example, there is a blind lady who is kind and charitable, and helps many people without asking for anything in return, and one day helps the child next door change diapers, and is urinated by the child, the child's parents are very sorry, but the aunt smiles and disagrees, but when she goes back, she finds that she can actually see, and even regain her youthful appearance.

One passed ten to hundred, they only then reacted, that child should be the embodiment of the guardian, have tried child urine, stewed, drunk, boiled and rubbed, external internal use, after various attempts to come to an evaluation, in addition to the authentic boy urine smell is very positive, there is nothing special.

There are many such stories, most of them are good and evil, and the guardian only acts as a tool in it, rewarding the good and punishing the bad.

However, in the real history, in the history of the ancient clock world, when the time bank had not yet appeared, it was still the ignorant Warring States period, due to the change of seasons and the lack of mastery of the mystery of the three needles, people only regarded the world in the clouds as a place where the gods lived, not a place where mortals could go to pass, and whenever the festival came, they would carry out sacrifices to the cities above, praying for the gods to bless themselves and the wind and rain.

City No. 6 is a vast area, with the looming world above the clouds as a faith, people pray for the gods to give strength, different beliefs with each other, based on this as a basis to divide several small countries, the monarch claims to be the son of the gods, and fights with each other non-stop, until a first emperor appears, he does not use the banner of the gods, but with the courage of mortals to unify the region, after the unification, do everything he thinks he should do, he sets his eyes on the sky.

He did not believe that there was a God in heaven.

If there is a god in heaven, how can he watch the annual war without pity, if there is a god in heaven, how can he recognize such a person as his son, who has fat meat, fat horses in the stables, hungry people and hungry in the wilderness, and eats people at this rate.

If there is such a son of God, such a god, then don't do it.

As time passed, the emperor burned books on the sacrifices to the gods, and then put to death those who were stubbornly forbidden to engage in sacrifices but still secretly performed sacrifices.

Immediately afterwards, the whole country was mobilized to explore the two worlds on the top, which attracted the admonition of countless people, and the courtiers fell to their knees one after another, and even hit their heads against the pillars to dissuade His Majesty from this disrespectful behavior.

The gist of it is that what you did before was too much, you didn't sacrifice to the gods when you ascended the throne, and you slaughtered the sacrificers on a large scale, why do you still do such a rebellious act now, how can the heavenly world be spied on by mortals, and you will be punished by heaven if you do this! Your Majesty!

The emperor did not listen, killed batch after batch, and under his tough approach, advanced little by little.

However, there are constantly more cruel seasons, there are bad solar terms, folk rumors that this is the emperor angered the gods, will cause a catastrophe, the prince died one after another, but also contributed to the spread of this rumor, but the emperor did not waver at all.

There is only one word in response, and that is chop.

Finally, when the first emperor was about to reach his old age, he successfully discovered the mystery of the upper city through the rotation of three needles, and when the emperor stepped into the city above, it was a more vast and fertile, more livable place, the old emperor could not help but lose some of his former majesty and composure, he knew that he was right, there is no god in the sky, and this world belongs to the world of people after all.

When he returned to the world of City Six again, the emperor solemnly announced it to his people. The city above was no longer a place where the gods lived, but a territory accessible to mortals.

Since then, the era of the Great Ancient Bell has begun, and people have continued to explore and explore the territory.

Because the exploration of the above world verified the previous ideas, it was a great boost to the spirit and spirit, and the above environment was indeed good for healing, and the emperor's body gradually hardened.

All walks of life began to explore towards the upper realm, and to their surprise, there was still space above the place where they thought the gods lived, and how many floors were there? The curiosity of the unknown, which constantly stimulates enthusiasm, is called the ladder to the sky.

In the process of continuous exploration, people's awe of the gods gradually diminished, until they saw the twelfth city, which could not be visited no matter what, was so towering and majestic, and the gods were once again very loud under the impetus of the well-intentioned, and the emperor at this time was very old, he did not go to a higher level, but chose to return to the place where he had fought and spent his last life in the bottom city of No. 6.

When the news of City 12 came, the emperor was still tough, regardless of everyone's dissuasion, to see with his own eyes what was on City 12. It's just that at this time he was too old, and he died after a hurried glance at the world above his head in City Eleven, and the whole country mourned, losing this peerless figure, and the problems that had been accumulated with his personal unparalleled prestige completely exploded, and it didn't take long for the dynasty to fall apart.

The dynasty reached its peak of prosperity but disappeared completely at a very fast speed, and many people said that it was a violation of the gods, so there would be this final retribution, although it was not a country based on faith, but since then the rulers of the city have regarded the leading to Castle 12 as a ladder to heaven, and worship activities when they ascend the throne.

These are some historical stories that Zhou Yizhi learned in that month's time, and at this moment, he came to the highest level of the ancient bell world, compared with the stories in his mind, he can only say that there is still some gap between the ideal and the reality. The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

The city No. 12 in front of you cannot be said to be prosperous, but it can only be said to be a little shabby.

The huge space, only the hazy stream, the land around the stream Zhou Yizhi is very familiar, and the wasteland of the Yuan Land when he crosses it.

There is a clock floating above the stream, and the more Zhou Yizhi looks at it, the more familiar it feels, yo, isn't this the ancient clock world that he saw in the distance when he broke through the boundary? In terms of appearance, it is exactly the same, but there is a huge difference in size, wasteland, streams, and clocks, so is City Twelve a miniature version of the ancient clock world? Or is it that the clock in City 12 is the entire ancient clock world?

What the hell is going on, the so-called sacred place, and that's it, the treasure that I want to open clockwise, I don't have anything to think about.

The floating clock is not running at the moment, the hour, minute, and second hands are all stopped and reset to zero, and there is a hole in the center of the clock, as if something is missing, Zhou Yizhi looked at this clock curiously, cautious, and did not dare to make too much of a move.

After all, I came to such a mysterious place, although it looks very quiet and ordinary now, maybe there will be some accidents, and I don't know what happened to Zhou Xuan?

The two goods on the body are not so particular, bamboo and strange fish jumped down, a monkey and a fish close to the stream, lying down drinking water, drinking water is called a pleasure, seeing Zhou Yizhi is a little thirsty, is this water really so delicious?

"I don't know where this is? Do you dare to drink it? I'm really not afraid to put it on myself. Zhou Yizhi gradually got used to the virtue of these two goods and everything like to send to his mouth, but it didn't look like anything, so he put his mind at ease, could it be an ordinary stream?

He walked around for a while, and found that the people were still at the edge of the stream, the clock was still floating on the stream, and even the distance was the same as before, and the surroundings had not changed much

After a while, I finally walked out of the wasteland and came to the rainforest, but compared to the rainforest in Yuandi, there was no corresponding species here, and it was still a dead silence.

Zhou Yizhi looked up at the clock on the stream, still keeping the same distance from himself, but the change in the environment showed that he was really advancing, and the wasteland was replaced by a rainforest, so if he went further, would there be such boundaries as rosemary, flying flowers, and gray fog, could it be that this is the truth of the change of seasons?

Zhou Yizhi didn't know, there were more things to verify, and when he went back, the two guys were lying on the edge of the creek wasteland, looking up to the sky and exposing their bellies, looking very comfortable.

He didn't dare to try like two beasts, if something happened, it would be difficult to say, but it didn't mean that he didn't have any idea about the water, he took out the container in the storage bag and filled it with a lot of water and put it back in his storage bag, and waited until he had time to do research later, and then the most important thing was the most important thing.

The clock floating on the water of the stream, these two things in the huge space, and in connection with this form that is indistinguishable from the whole world, the clock is undoubtedly the most important thing.

Zhou Yizhi slowly tried it, but there was no reaction when he threw things, and he didn't react when he used spiritual power, so was it broken? He was going to reach out and tentatively touch the clock that was countless times smaller.

Then in the wasteland by the stream, the strange fish also took action.

"Eh, don't you love water?" The strange fish jumped into the stream and disappeared in one go, pressing out a beautiful splash, which made Zhou Yizhi a little dumbfounded.

With a click, a fish's heart slowly appeared in the center of the clock and began to turn.

Zhou Yizhi just grabbed the clock and disappeared in front of the stream.

……

Modest houses.

Loess thatch is used as the simplest material.

Men and women, lined up at the door, holding tools to preserve the water in their hands.

There was a woman standing inside the door, carrying a spoon from a large barrel closed at her feet, and spooning them a spoonful of yellow liquid.

Just like the cafeteria aunt when she enters the circle, she will never play more.

The silver-haired old man sitting at the front opened his mouth with a smile and tried to negotiate for her to come a little more: "Take a sip, take another sip, my grandson is not in good health, I want him to drink more of this holy water to regulate his body." ”

The woman glanced at her: "There are so many people queuing up here, give you two more spoonfuls, then the people behind will have two spoonfuls less, it's good to have them, if you don't want them, you can return them to me, there are so many people in the back anyway." ”

Seeing this situation, the people behind them were afraid that they would become less and would not be able to get their share, so they hurriedly spoke: "That's it, what are you doing so greedily, don't mess up the order here, just leave after arranging." ”

The silver-haired old man didn't dare to say much when he heard this, and quickly put the kettle back in his hand, for fear of being robbed: "It's okay, then I'll go back." ”

The people in the back queue were idle and discussed.

"With such a long line, I don't know when the queue is going today, why is there more and more people every day."

"That's not it, the news is spreading faster and faster, I knew that there were few people a few days ago, and now they are all pouring here, for fear that there will be no drop too late."

"Not to mention it's quite useful, after drinking, my waist is no longer sore, my legs don't hurt, and I don't have to work hard."

"That's not, otherwise how can there be so many people in the row, you look like crazy, since Aunt Mo's eyes have returned to light, and her hair has turned black overnight, returning to the appearance of a 20-year-old, seeing such a good effect, naturally everyone will come over. That is, this saint's mother is kind-hearted and willing to share it with us poor people, and the price is not very high, and she can let us drink soup. ”

"But by the way, do you feel that the holy water you queued up to fight recently feels more and more fishy?"

"How is it possible, only more and more fishy, how can there be more and more fishy, and only big people can drink fishy.

Holy water is just like that, we drink it with water, how can there be so many original flavors for you, you think it's not good, you drink less, or send you to me. ”

"That's not going to work!"

Zhou Yizhi was in the thatched house, listening to the words outside, he felt a little strange, through the spiritual vision can perceive the two worlds in the sky outside, he knows, that is the fifth city and the seventh city, so he is in the sixth city, I have been in a month, walking large and small places, but I have no impression.

As well as the people in simple clothes outside, there was no time watch on their bodies, Zhou Yizhi looked at the clock in his hand, and his face was a little cloudy.

So is this a crossing? According to the point in time, wouldn't it be to travel to the time node where the guardian will appear in those stories, that is to say, in the past history, those myths and stories are true? You'll travel back in time to what happened.

A few big men in the hospital are drinking tons and tons of water, and after drinking enough, they go to the toilet to put water, the so-called infant holy water, completely depends on the output of these big men, the work they need to do is to drink enough and then produce enough urine, how much can a baby and young child have a day? To be able to sell so many copies, in addition to mixing with water, it is completely based on homemade natural pirated holy water, which is the reason why it is becoming more and more fishy.

When they went in, they saw Zhou Yizhi in the toilet.

"Mom! Hell! ”
