Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Story of the Burning City

As the bald man was violently beaten by Su Qin, the noise was too loud, and the other ghosts all left the tavern, leaving only Liu Ying and Bai Lei.

The bald man fainted on the ground, he was already stunned by Su Qin's beating, his whole face was beaten like a pig's head, and he couldn't speak.

Looking at the already empty tavern, Su Qin also gradually calmed down, the tavern was almost destroyed by him, there were potholes everywhere, sighed, and felt that he was still too impulsive.

took two deep breaths, grabbed the bald man, poured a glass of water on his head, and said: "From today on, you will be a security guard in my tavern, and you will be responsible for someone making trouble, if something happens, you will see if I can clean you up." ”

Su Qin didn't care if the bald man at this time could hear what he said, threw the bald man to the ground again, and turned to leave.

"Recently, you should take advantage of this time to decorate the tavern, and by the way, open up the shops next to it, see how to decorate it properly, and I'll leave it to you."

"Okay, Boss Su."

After explaining the matter, Su Qin returned to the room.

There are thousands of thoughts in his heart, he just beat the bald man so impulsively, because he had nowhere to vent the pressure of the past two days, after calming down, Su Qin felt more and more powerless, at this time he could indeed protect the tavern from harm, but in fact, there were more terrifying ghosts waiting for him, but he couldn't do anything.

What to do, Su Qin thought about it for a long time and had no clue.

"Xiao Su, you came to the Leaning Tower to find me tonight." Liu Lao suddenly said loudly.

Su Qin was stunned for a moment, Liu Lao had not asked himself to enter the Leaning Tower for a long time, including teaching himself, he was communicating directly in his mind, and with doubts, Su Qin answered yes.

……

I went up to the second floor of the leaning tower with a familiar car, and saw Liu Lao standing in the center at a glance, as if he had been waiting for Su Qin for a while.

"Old Liu, is there anything you called me here today?"

"Sit down first, don't rush."

Su Qin patiently sat beside Liu Lao, waiting for Liu Lao to explain.

But Liu Lao didn't explain anything, but kept looking at the murals on the second floor.

Su Qin noticed that Liu Lao's gaze was focused on the murals, and his eyes revealed memories, so he couldn't help but ask: "Liu Lao, I wanted to ask last time, what are the contents of these murals around me and what do they symbolize?" ”

Liu Lao retracted his gaze, closed his eyes with some emotion, stretched out his hand, and lightly tapped the ground.

Suddenly, the scene on the second floor changed, and the patterns on the mural seemed to come to life, constantly distorting, and soon a strange scene appeared in front of Su Qin's eyes

I saw that there was a barren area in front of me, and there were ruins and broken walls everywhere, so it was not desolate.

"This isβ€”" Su Qin was shocked by the scene in front of him, how could there be such a desolate place.

"This is the Flame City of hundreds of years ago, which is where you are now, the New Town."

"How so?" Su Qin was surprised that hundreds of years ago, the new city was so desolate and uninhabited.

"You keep watching." Liu Lao motioned for Su Qin to continue looking down, and he could understand what was happening.

I saw that time seemed to be playing at double speed, the sun was rising and setting, and Su Qin witnessed that the Flame City was constantly developing.

In the beginning, the barren land gradually appeared the souls who had died because of the war, wandering the land without their minds.

Slowly, sane souls appeared among the souls, and they began to bite and devour other souls, and by devouring other weak souls, they grew stronger and stronger.

Gradually, they became leaders among them, and began to form tribes and divide the Flame City.

Soon, it was divided into several relatively large areas, and although Flame City was already a barren land at this time, it was no different for ghosts.

They can gradually occupy and expand their territory, and then devour more ghosts, and even more, they are no longer satisfied with devouring low-level souls, and begin to devour humans.

Su Qin watched them grow from geyers to ghost kings, devouring geys at the beginning and devouring humans at the end, but he had no ability to stop them.

Countless times, Su Qin watched the human being torn apart by the ghost king in front of his eyes and swallowed into his belly, he was afraid, he hated, but more was anger and powerlessness.

In the face of these things that just happened, he had no way to change them, he could only watch silently, like a slideshow.

As soon as the picture turned, several ghost kings had already expanded their territory very much, and there was no trace of humans for thousands of miles around, and they began to fight each other's ideas.

Although there was a constant fight, several ghost kings did not suffer casualties, but their subordinates continued to consume.

Su Qin was puzzled, if the Ghost King had not been eliminated, then how could there be a new city now.

Sure enough, not long after, a human appeared on the land of Flame City.

Although he is a human being, he has unrivaled strength, and he can go to the city of the ghost king alone, and he can destroy countless ghosts while talking and laughing.

Soon, he walked in front of the ghost king, and the ghosts who dared to block him in front of him had already been reincarnated.

He gave the ghost king a chance, whether to surrender to him and never hurt humans again, the ghost king smiled, cracked open the bloody mouth, and the ghost qi was filled, and he was about to do it.

In the next second, the ghost king was gone, and he simply waved his hand.

Then, the second, the third, after the death of the three ghost kings, the remaining ghost kings finally understood that the men in front of them could not be resisted, and they lowered their heads and swore to the human men that as long as he existed, they would not do evil and would not harm any human beings.

The human man agreed, and settled in the Flame City.

As soon as the picture turned, the Flame City came back to life, and after hearing about the deeds of the human man, people gradually approached the Flame City and slowly settled here.

They found that the ghosts in the city of fire, not only did they not harm people, but also mingled with humans, and they slowly became relieved.

After a long time, the Flame City became a place where ghosts and humans lived in harmony, and the human man was also recommended by the ghosts and other humans to be the lord of the city, and renamed the Flame City as a new city.

"Alright, come to your senses." Liu Lao's voice sounded from Su Qin's ears, and in a blink of an eye, he had returned to the leaning tower.

Su Qin couldn't help but be in a trance, he had experienced the history of the new city, and these experiences had changed his thinking a lot, could humans and ghosts really live in harmony?

It feels like a long time has passed, but in reality, it seems that only a few minutes have passed, and he has already felt the long history, and Su Qin obviously has a little more sense of historical vicissitudes.

"Old Liu, what do you want to tell me?" Su Qin came to his senses, looked at Liu Lao, who was suddenly a little sad, and asked.

"The human man you see is my master, Taihao." Liu Lao's words were amazing.

"What... What? You say that the human man is your master? But I didn't see you just now. ”

"I followed my master after he settled in Flame City, of course you can't see it."

"Then, that's Taihao, how's it going?" Su Qin asked cautiously, but he knew in his heart that ghosts can live for hundreds of years, but humans do not have such a long lifespan.

"Master, he, got married and had children in the Burning City, and enjoyed his old age in peace, a hundred years later, I followed the little master, and I felt the breath of the master from the little master, so the next generation of the master, I regarded it as the master and waited by his side." Liu Lao said with some feelings.

"But..."Su Qin had doubts in his heart, before Liu Lao said that the master had disappeared for a long time, so this master refers to Taihao's descendants? So where the hell did he go? Why did he leave Liu Lao, and this leaning tower will appear in his mind.

Liu Lao didn't bother to answer Su Qin's doubts, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and looked at Su Qin: "Go, you go to the third floor to take a look, there are other ghosts in this tower besides me, go and meet him, maybe it will help you." ”

"Don't you want to improve your strength?" Liu Lao's words reminded him at once, yes, since he found Liu Lao, he didn't think about climbing up anymore, and he had already left it behind.

Thinking back to the pictures he had seen, Tai Hao had such a strong strength, maybe the ghosts under his command would have some way to help him speed up his cultivation.

For a while, I forgot to ask Liu Lao about the Leaning Tower and Taihao's descendants, and hurriedly went up to the third floor.

Only Liu Lao was left on the second floor looking at Su Qin's departing back with a complicated expression.

After going up to the third floor, Su Qin found that there were no murals on the third floor, and compared with the second floor, there were no books, only potholes on the ground.

It's as if you've experienced a fierce fight.

Su Qin looked at the empty third floor, wondering if it had been too long, there were no ghosts left, and when he was about to go down and ask Liu Lao again, when he turned around, he found that the stairs he had just come up had disappeared.

Su Qin was slightly stunned, why did he suddenly disappear when he was obviously here just now.

"Excuse me? Did I not notice that there was a ghost, but it was already there? Su Qin thought that he hadn't been able to sense the existence of ghosts recently, and he couldn't help but doubt himself.

"Senior, it was Liu Lao who asked me to come up, and I asked my predecessor to come out to see me." Su Qin politely bowed.

Silence, deathly silence, waited for a long time and did not respond.

Su Qin frowned, what's the matter, don't you come out to see each other?

The third floor is not as dark as the second floor, but there are lights on the walls around it, and the surrounding walls are bright.

Su Qin didn't panic, since others were not in a hurry, then he was not in a hurry, sitting cross-legged in the center of the third floor, cultivating quietly.

Minute by minute.

Suddenly, a breeze gently swept across Su Qin's face, with a slight wetness, the corners of Su Qin's mouth showed a triumphant smile, finally couldn't help it?

Before he could be happy, he felt a punch in his chest and head at the same time, and in an instant, the whole person flew out like a cannonball, hit the wall with a thud, and fell hard.

There was a deep crack in the wall, and it was obvious that Su Qin's impact was very impactful.

He himself was knocked to pieces, lost consciousness for a while, and passed out.

Liu Lao on the second floor felt something, looked up at the second floor, and seemed to see Su Qin's appearance through the middle, and couldn't help but shake his head, "I didn't expect him to be so impulsive." ”

And there was also a dissatisfied snort from the third floor at this time, which seemed to be dissatisfied with Liu Lao's behavior of letting people up.
