Chapter 1309: The Ruined City
Seeing that Jin Shengshui and I had strange faces, King Jizo asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
Jin Shengshui said, "It's okay, the way you speak is a bit like Lord Lang."
King Jizo laughed and said, "When people are old, they may talk a little like that."
He went on to say, "Why the challenge? Because this place is dangerous, it's definitely a place of death."
"I don't need to describe this too much, I think you know it."
"Besides, why is this an opportunity?"
"This place, after all, is the core of the demon. And this demon. It grows in the Heavenly Dao River."
"When we go inside, there's a good chance we'll collect his fragments."
"Once you've got enough shards, I'm afraid you'll be able to ascend."
The words of King Jizo mobilized the emotions of the people in the underworld.
King Jizo said, "But if we go in and die inside, it's really a problem."
"So, I suggest each of us come up with a wisp of soul."
"This has two benefits."
"The first advantage is that the power of the soul is relatively weak and will not be discovered."
"The second benefit. Even if someone finds out. This wisp of soul has been killed, and our body still has a chance to escape."
King Jizo looked at us and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think?"
We all nodded, "Makes sense."
King Jizo grinned.
The rest went relatively smoothly.
We selected Ji Yansheng's mother and asked her to stay outside.
Once things change inside us, she's in charge of escaping with our bodies.
Ji's mother naturally agreed.
She has no ambition for power, even the people of the underworld can be trusted.
Then we each took out a wisp of soul and jumped into the deep well together.
The moment I went in, I felt like I was in a black hole.
Here, time seems to have stopped.
No, to be precise, time doesn't exist.
I may have only been in for a second, or I could have been in for eternity.
Probably in our field of vision, it took us countless years to get out.
Maybe in the eyes of Ji's mother, we have been jumping down.
Anyway, when I came back to my senses, I found that I was already down to earth.
It was gray, and five paces away, you couldn't see clearly.
King Jizo sighed and said, "Is this what it was like at the beginning of the world? It's chaos."
Jin Shengshui said, "Master, you are really interesting. Isn't this foggy? It's so high-end."
King Jizo shook his head and said, "Impossible, impossible, definitely not simply fogging."
"There's definitely something to say here."
"This is the core of the demon, how can it be foggy?"
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter in front of him.
The king of Jizo was dumbfounded: "Here...... Anyone?"
"At the heart of the demons, there are people living?"
We said, "It looks like someone. Let's take a look?"
King Jizo nodded repeatedly, "Go over and see, go over and see."
We cut through the fog and found a ruined city.
There was a group of people, men and women, old and young, who were carrying stones and repairing the walls.
King Jizo wondered, "Are we going the wrong way?"
Jin Shengshui said, "Maybe it's in a hallucination."
The king of Jizo walked over and said to the men, "Excuse me, where is this?"
The repairers looked at us and said, "You don't know where this is?"
We nodded.
They asked, "From outside?"
We vaguely said, "Sort of."
Immediately they became enthusiastic and surrounded us and said, "Is it really from outside?"
"What dynasty is there out there now?"
We were all confused.
After communicating with them for a while, we learned that this is a place similar to the Peach Blossom Garden.
These people have lived here for thousands of years.
The last time they saw someone from outside was in the spring and autumn.
The man said he had come to seek immortals.
He regarded these people as immortals.
And the people who live here think this person is crazy.
However, from that man, they learned the outside calendar, the outer clothes, and the outer tools......
All these years, they have been waiting for someone from outside to come, but they have never seen it again.
Jin Shengshui whispered in my ear, "Big brother, do you hear the problem?"
I said, "What's the problem?"
Jin Shengshui said, "The last person came in the spring and autumn period. And it's for the sake of finding immortals."
"This person is either Lao Tzu or Zhuangzi."
I said, "yes, it's possible."
Jin Shengshui said, "But when you listen to their descriptions, they are all in the first person."
"What they talked to the man, what the man taught them."
"What they said is not that the man taught me what my ancestor taught me, but what told me what my ancestor said."
My heart moved, "What do you mean...... These people have lived from the spring and autumn period to the present?"
Jin Shengshui nodded.
I gasped, "Then these people are really immortals."
Jin Shengshui said, "However, there is no trace of cultivation on their bodies."
"If we're not hallucinating, I feel like this place is really the heart of the demons."
I nodded, "That makes sense."
"But at the heart of the demons, there is actually a group of mortals living there."
"These mortals don't need to cultivate, they can get what cultivators can only dream of."
"That's kind of weird."
At this time, the king of Jizo was still chatting with the man.
The inhabitants began to pour bitter water, saying that they did not know what was going on, and that not long ago there had been two explosions in succession, which had destroyed the city walls.
As soon as I heard this, I felt a little right.
For the first time, we used the Yin Si Holy Maiden, and for the second time, we used the teacher of Jinning No. 1 Middle School.
It did blow up the demon twice.
