"If you are talking about the change that you are talking about compared to the ostensible city of the sun now, then I can say that the city has completely changed." Qin Zhen said, "Devouring demons no longer exist, and you are being judged in their place. There were no more pedestrians on the streets, and people were hiding in their houses, waiting for the next arrival of the executioners."

Zheng Yunmin exhaled a deep breath and sighed in a low voice, "It seems that what the city lord said is not wrong."

She looked up at Qin Zhen again, "That jade slip was given to me by the city lord at the beginning, and I was asked to hand it over to the first monk who came to the city from the outside world and was willing to take me away after the city was destroyed. So......" she paused slightly, "have I left the city in the future?"

"Maybe it should have been like this. But you finally told me that you only wanted to be with your sister, so I left the city by myself."

"Really...... It's not like that." Zheng Yunmin covered his face with his hands.

"I don't know why this jade slip got me here, but I have to tell you that this jade slip didn't take me back in time." Qin Zhen looked at her seriously, "For me, I just entered an illusion built by monks, and this illusion is a replica of the days before the destruction of your Occult City. Do you understand what I mean?"

"You're saying we're all just illusions?" Zheng Yunmin said slowly.

"Well, I don't believe there is a way in the world to go back in time and change the future." Qin Zhen was very direct.

Zheng Yunmin was silent.

Qin Hao didn't know what she was thinking, but just watched the expression on her face gradually change, from grief to joy to hatred...... Finally, it freezes on the numbness: "If we are just illusions, then isn't everything we do now useless? No matter how hard you try, the city will eventually be destroyed. It is only for the sake of your friars' contest that we can once again be dug out of the obscured history and forced to perform our demise before you."

"I don't think you can change the past to save the city, but you can tell me what happened to the city on the day of the catastrophe. Maybe then I can go back and find you now, and change the current city of the Occultation." Qin Hao's voice was gentle, "What is your relationship with the Demon Devourer? And what is the iniquity that you are carrying? As long as you tell me, I can help you."

Zheng Yunmin's hand subconsciously touched the axe on his waist. Chinese Net

Qin Hao smiled, "Do you like it very much? You seem to have it with you all the time."

"Hmm......" Zheng Yunmin raised his eyes, then lowered them again, "This is what my parents left me. But they haven't been back for a long time for the sake of the Sect Master and the Occult City."

She paused, touching Qin Hao's gentle and tolerant eyes, only to feel that her body was cold and trembling. But the jade slip in her arms was always reminding her of the city lord's entrustment. She gritted her teeth, but continued, "You should already know that the city of the Occultation welcomes outsiders unconditionally, and everyone who comes here, we will treat him wholeheartedly and let him stay here to participate in the ceremony."

"We are all mortals here, and the only ones who have cultivation are the sect master and the young sect master. As a town far away from the lives of other mortals, the only people we can attract are monks, not other mortals. We will send all kinds of heavenly treasures to every monk who comes here, and these monks are often not valued in their own sect, or are not deeply involved in the world. As soon as they see that these materials can be given away casually, coupled with our flattery, most people will choose to stay. But actually, as long as he stays, the material will eventually come back to us."

"The Occult City is held once every fifty years, just to cover up the catastrophe that befalls every fifty years. Those monks with spiritual powers can help us stop the catastrophe and keep the city safe. And when they die, we will take back the materials that have been given out and wait until the eve of the next festival to give them to the next group of monks."

After Zheng Yunmin finished speaking, a mocking smile appeared on his face: "Don't you monks always talk about fighting with the heavens? Isn't it what you need to fight against the catastrophe that has fallen from heaven now?"

"You're a little different from the Zheng Yunmin I met." Qin Zhen said softly

。

"What's the difference?" Zheng Yunmin asked rhetorically, "The past me and the future me are all me."

"If Zheng Yunmin I met was you now, then I wouldn't accept your jade slip."

"Huh." Zheng Yunmin chuckled under his breath.

Qin Hao watched as she took the axe from her waist, and as the axe left, her waist suddenly broke into two pieces as if it had lost its fixation.

In the gushing of blood, her body began to twist and shape again, and finally turned into the lower half of the body into the body of the demon eater, fusing with the human torso of her upper body.

"No one is an illusion, this is our true city of the Occultation." Zheng Yunmin's voice was shrill and became a little less like her own.

"Why do you have a preconceived notion that we're fake? Didn't you think what if the Occultation City you visited was fake, just to trick you into coming here?" Zheng Yunmin stretched out his hand to Qin Hao, and the jade slip glittered in her hand.

"Cui Yu is right, you really have a penchant for thinking of yourself as a savior, as long as you look pitiful and bullied, you can believe that man's words are true, and try to save him." Her words sounded sarcastic, but there was a faint cry.

Qin Zhen glanced at the jade slip in her hand, and there was only one word written on it, but unlike the jade slip with the word "devouring" written on her hand, the jade slip in Zheng Yunmin's hand showed "feed".

"This was originally a jade slip, but the city lord separated it and asked me to keep one for myself and hand over the other." Zheng Yunwan stared at Qin Hao's eyes, "So, if I were an illusion, then I couldn't have only half of the jade slip in my hand, because it was I who went to the city of the occultation of the sun in what you thought was reality, and gave you the other half of the jade slip."

"You have a point." Qin Hao smiled, "But if you want to kill me, then you can kill me when you first meet me. If you want to use me to stop the catastrophe, then it's a bit possible, but then don't send me here with a jade slip at all, anyway, for you, anyone can do it, right?"

Zheng Yunmin stopped talking.

"I don't know how much of what you just said is true and how much is false, but I still thank you for being willing to say it, and I will verify it myself." Qin Zhen arranged the hem of her clothes slowly, and where her hand touched, the ground that was originally soaked in blood was instantly swept away.

"Why, why don't you just kill us?" Zheng Yunmin hoarsely voiced.

She thought that these words were enough to provoke Qin Zhen and make her angry and hurt the killer. But having said it all here, why can Qin Zhen still be so calm?

"If the executioner is really as you do, and will arrive soon, then I may kill Zheng Yunwan before leaving. But the executioner did not come...... Killing a liar with a mouth full of lies won't give me anything." Qin Zhen sighed, "Moreover, didn't Cui Yu tell you? I couldn't hold any weapon with my hands at all. Whatever it is, as long as I hold it as a lethal weapon, my hand will fall off."

"You...... What are you telling me to do with this?" Zheng Yunmin took a step back vigilantly.

Cui Yu didn't tell her about Qin Hao's weakness, but Qin Hao knew that they had other plans, so why did she still find out her weakness? Isn't she afraid of death?

"That's because I only trust my own judgment."

Qin Hao's voice was extremely soft, and as her tail note fell, the black snake jade bracelet on her right wrist instantly burst out, and the snake head bit Zheng Yunmin's neck tightly.

"Ahem, ahem...... You ......" Zheng Yunmin struggled with both hands to grab the black snake, but as soon as her hand touched it, it was pierced by the snake bone body of the black snake, and she could only scream and break off her hand, leaving her palm on the snake bone.

"You're not Zheng Yunmin, and she's not Zheng Yunwan. Although I don't have a good impression of Zheng Yunwan, if she can achieve this level now, I won't be able to come back so easily in the city of the sun." Qin Zhen watched Zheng Yunmin's struggle gradually become smaller, and in the end, he could only widen his eyes and was bitten off his neck, and soon

Turned into a puddle of flesh and melted into the stone bricks on the ground.

And Zheng Yunwan, who was in a coma on the side, after Zheng Yunmin disappeared, like her, her body melted and became a new stone brick.

The tower shook violently as if it had been stimulated by some kind of stimulus, and began to collapse from the top floor.

The imprisoned demon devourers roared to the sky, the fluff on their bodies faded, and they began to take on the appearance of humans.

Among them were people that Qin Hao had seen on the street today, as well as Zhou Zhirong, Zheng Yunmin, and Zheng Yunwan who had spoken, and Qin Zhen also recognized a few people who were monks he had seen in the first round of the audition.

They were all like living human beings, starting from toddlers, and then slowly standing up, shaking and stretching out their hands to Qin Zhen: "Don't leave......

Qin Zhen ignored them.

She sealed her hands and mobilized her spiritual power, and a faint ripple swung out from under her feet, purifying this piece of flesh and mud and stone bricks, revealing the original grass.

And as her fingers continued to move, the ripples spread wider.

Those who had become demon devourers felt threatened and wanted to come over to stop her, but they were swept by the snake bone that was clinging to Qin Hao's body, and their bodies were scattered.

"Hum—"

The moment Qin Hao closed his eyes, the ripples instantly swept through the entire tower, hitting the wall like a wave, and then rolling up high, heading straight to the top of the tower.

The men didn't even scream, and were swallowed up by the ripples along with the tower. By the time the tide had subsided, the tower's location had turned into a verdant meadow, and the barrier that had covered the tower had been broken, leaking out the sunlight that had not been seen for a long time.

And in the middle of the meadow, something else was glittering.

Qin Zhen walked over, only to find that it was the jade slip in Zheng Yunmin's hand, and the word "feed" on it was much dimmer than when he saw it in the tower just now.

She bent down in silence and picked up the jade slip.

And the moment her fingers touched the jade slip, the jade slip turned into a ray of light, jumped into her arms, and melted into her original jade slip.
