Chapter 183: The Ending After the Ending
Lu Ran, who flew in the sky again, was finally able to get a glimpse of the whole picture of this big city.
As dusk approached, it was dark and the lights came on.
The entire Jueying City is also like a four-cornered star, little by little, one by one, lit up.
Seeing this Tengyun all the way to the west, Lu Ran couldn't help asking, "Could it be that we are going to the land of no immortals?" ”
Huai Huang nodded, "Yes, we ...... Let's go see the queen of heaven again. ”
"But go there, unobstructed, Master Huai, aren't you afraid ......"
Huai Huang smiled, "There is a strange thing, I didn't have time to tell you and the Yufu Fairy last time, it's very strange, this sect is full of ears and eyes here, but the area where the Queen of Heaven made statues, as if there is some taboo, they don't dare to enter, and then after our years of verification, we guess ......"
"What?"
"We speculate, just guess, because the sect leader of this sect became very disgusted with her after the death of the queen of heaven in battle, and even the statue of her, so there is also some kind of unwritten rule within the immortal sect, that is, he will never go to the statue of the queen of heaven to kneel, worship, or even move."
"This Yang Sanlang is quite cautious."
"Shh......h We're not there yet, be careful and we'll talk about it later. ”
……
After a while, there was no immortal land.
Huai Huang took Lu Ran around and came to the front of the statue of the Immeasurable Heavenly Monarch.
Hanging in the air, Huai Huang knelt down first, and Lu Ran hurriedly followed.
Huai Huang said that there was no need, according to the generation, Lu Ran and Tianjun should be the same generation, and there was no need to make this great gift.
Lu Ran said that it didn't matter, but he thought of Xu Fu in his heart, thinking of Xu Fu's face, which was so similar to this mottled stone statue.
After worshipping, Tengyun went up, and also came to the place where he and Xu Fu went last time, the crown of the Heavenly Monarch, which was actually a viewing platform.
On the observation deck, looking at the lights of Jueying City like star tracks and lights like stars, Lu Ran collected his thoughts and couldn't help but admire Huaihuang and the immortals he represented.
Huai Huang smiled and said that he didn't dare to be, pondered for a moment, and asked Lu Ran, "Do you know how many people there are in Jueying City?" ”
Lu Ran shook his head.
"Seven million households, with a total population of more than 25 million."
Lu Ran still shook his head, he had indeed been to big cities, but the time he could stay was limited, even if it was a fantasy city like 3022, because of the limited range of activities, he still had no concept of the "big" and "crowded" of a city.
Huai Huang then randomly reported a few numbers -
"There are two million young children alone."
"Four thousand main roads."
"There are six million cats and seven million dogs."
"Outer immortals, evil immortals, and demons together are enough to have a million people."
"The daily cargo to and from Pig Face Bay is calculated in billions."
……
With such specificity, Lu Ran felt this grandeur and praised it sincerely: "It really deserves to be the first city in the world!" ”
Huai Huang's face was not happy, but a little melancholy, and his smile became bitter, "In Brother Lu's eyes, what I see is indeed prosperous, but what I stand here and see is all sacrifice." ”
"Four thousand roads, each with the blood of my old friends and comrades in the past."
"On the goose intestine street, in the past four hundred years, there have been more than 1,000 battles with the outer Dao immortals, and our side has suffered equally heavy casualties."
"Pig's Face Bay fought with the pirate Wang Zao, and in just one day, our side lost three hundred red immortals, sixty human immortals, and three true immortals."
"Every time you kill an Ring Sect Immortal by the law, we must pay ten times the number of men of the corresponding level."
"So people sing the praises of the city as being built with wisdom and hard work, but in fact, there are two things missing, that is, blood and tears."
……
Lu Ran quietly listened to what Huai Huang said, and was a little unsure whether this was whether he came here to touch the scene, or if this was the rhetoric he had prepared early in the morning, after thinking about it, he had to open his mouth and comfort: "Although I can't really understand these sacrifices, I think that the result is always good, they didn't sacrifice in vain, in exchange for the stable life of these tens of millions of people." ”
"But I don't think it's worth it." Huai Huang's tone suddenly became a little cold, "And as far as the current situation is concerned, I even feel that our efforts over the past few hundred years have failed, and I, or we, are sorry for the Venerable Master." ”
"Failure?"
"I'm sorry...... The Venerable Master? ”
For a moment, Lu Ran was shocked and speechless.
A gust of wind blew, and a round of unfinished moon rose into the sky, but it set off the Huai Huang figure in front of him much smaller.
Huai Huang waved his sleeves and motioned for Lu Ran to sit down face to face with him, and his face gradually calmed down.
"Come on, let's finish the unfinished story of 400 years ago, and see where this failure comes from."
Lu Ran nodded, took out an iron flower from his arms, spread it in the palm of his hand and showed it to Huai Huang, then held it in the palm of his hand like that, and sat down gently.
The stories of the immortals who were still happy with the world four hundred years ago continued again in the mouth of this inexplicably angry old man.
This is the end of the ending.
The Master was severely injured by the Sect Formation War and the Divine Treasure of the Ring Sect, turning into a yellow light and escaping.
Zhan Wujian did not pursue it, but because according to the established plan, all the Heavenly Monarchs and True Immortals of the Ring Sect in Jueying City had rushed to Jueying City one after another to participate in the originally planned enthronement ceremony.
The news of the death of the Queen of Heaven had already spread among the people, and millions of people took to the streets to hold a wide range of grand memorial services, and eventually, they angrily surrounded the Wanhuanlou, which was only five floors at the time, and shouted for the Huanjiao to get out of the city.
As the actual management of Jueying City at that time, Huaihuang was looking for the whereabouts of the undeceived master on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was really helpless against this kind of popular movement, so he had to try his best to maintain law and order, and not let some ulterior motives interfere with it, making the situation even more chaotic.
At the beginning, the Immortal Sect sent people to come and wanted to reconcile with these people, but the angry crowd lost their minds and collided with the important figure in the sect at that time, so the immortals began to use magic weapons, talismans, etc. to suppress the crowd of these demons.
The Huanjiao was not panicked originally, because of the enthronement ceremony, the internal combat power of the sect was basically gathered in that five-story small building, not to mention the million people, and then ten times, there was no slightest pressure, maybe they also had differences in the sect at that time, or it could be that they didn't want to kill more, so they chose to drag it out, consume the patience of these mortals, and the crowd naturally dispersed, after all, in their opinion, people are the most easily shaken.
The turning point came a month later, when the fighting from the northern front first took a dramatic turn.
Originally, the Char's army, which was supposed to withdraw after the two sects planned to kill the queen of heaven, suddenly reversed course and came back again, and the leader was the one who held one of the Ten Treasures of the Sect in his hand.
