Chapter 136: First Sight of Reincarnation
"The owner of the Chang family has a good reputation, and our landlord also admires the master of the Chang family very much."
The city is like a dead city, and although it doesn't have the same lifeless feeling as before, the whole city is still shrouded in a gray feeling.
Walking down the street, except for the occasional pedestrian hurrying by, the whole city is frighteningly silent.
"Smack!"
At this moment, there was a sound of whipping in the distance.
"Hurry up!"
Someone shouted.
Pedestrians passing by heard the sound and ignored it, only quickening their pace.
At the end of the road, a young man in ragged clothes and covered in blood stains, pushing a cart of bronze, walked slowly towards Chang'an.
Every now and then, after a short pause, the man in black on the side would whip him and leave a new blood mark on him.
The young man walked a few steps, and at the corner of the road behind him, he was followed by several more people, all in rags and covered in blood, pushing the cart.
Chang An looked at this scene with displeasure.
"Wait."
The man in black saw a living person coming from the other side, and said arrogantly
"Who are you? I haven't seen you. ”
Chang An was about to speak, when a black shadow jumped down from a height and landed between the two.
"Master Chang, meet again."
Chang An looked at it, but it was an old man who hid in his house as a gardener before March.
"It's you, I don't know which building you are the owner of."
The old man had a smile on his face, and his eyes inadvertently glanced at the sword god in Chang An's hand.
"Snake Tower, others call me a hundred steps, but in front of the master of the Chang family's snow without a trace, it is naturally not worth mentioning, I am also the chief housekeeper on the twelfth floor, in Youzhou, the master of the Chang family can also call me so."
Chang An raised the sword in his hand and asked
"The sword has arrived, where is Miss Chu?"
The big butler waved his hand
"Don't worry, since the head of the Chang family has already arrived, can you take the head of the Chang family to visit the twelfth floor?"
Chang An frowned slightly, what the hell is this old man doing, he has played so many tricks, he wants the sword of the sword god in his hand, but in the end, he is not in a hurry?
Could it be that the boss of their family is gone, and they, who are subordinates, are starting to rot?
But the more this is the case, the more interested Chang An is in the twelfth floor.
"It's okay, I haven't been to this Youzhou anyway, so I just took this opportunity to visit."
Immediately, the chief butler motioned for Chang An to get out of the way.
"I know that the Master of the Chang family must be very interested in why we need to collect such a large amount of bronze."
Chang An nodded.
The big butler said
"In that case, I'll take the head of the Chang family to visit."
What made Chang An feel quite strange was that the black-clothed men who oversaw the chief butler didn't seem to be very respectful when they saw him, no matter how he behaved.
"Smack!"
The man in black twitched his whip again.
"Where are we going?"
Chang An looked into the distance, they had been walking for a quarter of an hour, but they didn't seem to have reached their destination yet.
The big butler smiled
"The Overseer of the Five Cities."
Chang An was taken aback, he didn't expect that the big housekeeper was so honest that he didn't want to hide Chang An's intentions.
The big butler seemed to see through Chang An's thoughts and said with a smile
"Don't worry, Master Chang, please come in, you will naturally be honest with each other."
Chang An said
"According to ancient records, the twelfth floor of the five cities was built during the initial emperor's period to wait for the gods to be in the East China Sea, could it be that the twelfth floor was intended to rebuild the five cities in the past?"
The chief butler nodded slightly, caught a glimpse of the two silk books on Chang An's waist, and said
"Indeed, whether it is the ancient book of the royal family or the Penglai map, there are records about the twelfth floor of the five cities."
"Actually, the reason why the twelfth floor is called the twelfth floor also has something to do with it, but it's not so exact."
"Oh? What's that for? ”
Chang An looked at the big butler with interest.
The chief butler hesitated slightly, and then said
"In order to return to Penglai."
"Return?"
Chang An wondered.
"Could it be that the owner of your building is originally from Penglai?"
The butler nodded
"That's what the owner of the building himself said, his purpose in creating the twelfth floor is to reproduce the twelfth floor of the five cities back then."
"The head of the Chang family should have been to the Chu Clan Villa and seen the ancient East China Sea."
Chang An nodded.
The Grand Butler continued
"According to the owner of the building, there are two ways to enter Penglai, the first is to pass through the top floor of the Bridge of Sighs after death, and the second is to cross the Bridge of Sighs above the East China Sea."
Chang An said
"So, you carefully designed the case of the disappearance of the boy in the capital, and secretly built a stronghold under the cliff of the Chu Clan's Villa."
The butler explained
"The disappearance of the boy in the capital is to find Li Qingchou's missing main soul through the Queqiao, as for who this Li Qingchou is, the head of the Chang family must have guessed it after experiencing the Chu Villa."
Chang An nodded
"Then Li Qingchou should be the reincarnation of Penglai God of War Xingtian, right?"
The Grand Butler continued
"That's right, in today's world, the master of the God Realm is no longer available, and the Bridge of Sighs of the Peerless Heaven and Earth Road is almost impossible to break, unless the God of War Punishment can be recalled."
Chang An said
"When you find out that Li Qingchou is the reincarnation of the God of War, you want to use him to recall Xingtian's soul from the underworld, and on the other hand, you are laying out in the Chu Clan's Villa, wanting to liberate Xingtian's true body."
The butler sighed
"It's a pity that Li Qingchou failed to recall Xingtian, but he was lost in the underworld."
Chang An said with a smile
"But you still have a back hand, or rather, you didn't think that Li Qingchou could bring Xingtian back from the beginning."
The chief butler exclaimed
"It is worthy of Chang'an, who can kill the sword god, indeed, the twelfth floor of these five cities was built for this, and the first emperor built the twelfth floor of the five cities, so as to wait for the gods on the shore of the East China Sea."
Chang An understood, suddenly pulled out the sword of the sword god, carefully measured a few points, and said with a smile
"The sword of the sword god uses the god realm as the sword bone, supplemented by the legendary five cities and the twelfth floor, like the brightest light in the darkness, passing through the fog that hinders the punishment of the heavens, and pulling the old gods back, I guess right?"
The big butler said
"That's true, as long as you have the sword of the sword god and the twelfth floor of the five cities, it is enough to guide the soul of Xingtian who is lost in the underworld and return to the world, and when the time comes, the twelfth floor can take advantage of the power of Xingtian to enter the legendary god realm Penglai, and enjoy eternal life from then on."
"It's a pity that your wishful thinking has now been shattered."
Chang'an Road.
The big butler smiled bitterly
"The owner of the building died in the capital, and what is even more surprising is that Penglai has been destroyed a long time ago, and now, everything is empty."
Chang An shook his head and looked at the sky, he suddenly recalled the battle he saw on the ancient East China Sea that day.
"No, even if you go to Penglai, you won't be able to live forever."
The chief butler exclaimed
"Don't the people of Penglai have the law of immortality?"
Chang An shook his head
"I'm almost sure, because the Sword God has been to Penglai before."
"What!"
The big steward's head opened his mouth wide, even they had never heard of such a thing.
Chang'an Road
"I was above the East China Sea that day, or because the seven strongest men were reactivated, and I saw the battle of the world, the sword god once appeared, and took the opportunity to break into Penglai."
"I don't know how many years have passed, when the sword god returned to the world, he once said a word, the queen mother has passed away for an era."
"Even the Queen Mother is dead......"
The butler's voice trembled, and then he shook his head with a wry smile
"What's the use of talking about this now, Penglai is so dilapidated."
The two walked and talked, and after another quarter of an hour, the laborers in front of them stopped, and the footsteps of the chief butler also stopped.
"We're here."
Chang An was stunned for a moment, they had just walked past a building, and their eyes moved forward.
In front, there was a huge forest, and the big butler jumped high and jumped high into the building behind.
Chang'an followed, looking down from a high place, this forest is extremely vast, showing a huge circular landform.
Below, the laborers lined up like ants, one by one, towards the forest.
"There is such a vast forest in this city, and this forest alone is only bigger than ordinary cities."
Chang An exclaimed.
The chief butler quietly looked down and said
"Didn't the head of the Chang family just want to know where we're going, this is the destination."
"The legendary reincarnation of the Hidden Mansion."
Chang An looked at the almost endless forest below, and his heart was pounding.
"This is the reincarnation created by the Sword God?"
The chief butler was not surprised to see him.
"It's really amazing, this forest is the legendary reincarnation."
"That is, the reincarnation created by the sword god."
Chang An smiled bitterly
"It's really surprising, if outsiders rush here, I'm afraid they won't think that this is the legendary reincarnation."
"I guess after the destruction of the Hidden Mansion, that's why it has survived to this day."
At this moment, his gaze gradually shifted to the side, in the open space around this huge reincarnation, dense laborers, working non-stop, and from time to time there were black-clothed people with whips urging them.
"Didn't you say you were going to the Overseer of the Five Cities?"
Chang An asked.
The big butler's hand pointed slightly, and Chang An looked at it intently.
Those laborers who have just arrived here slowly walk towards the place of reincarnation, and then they automatically divide into five paths, in an arc, spreading along the edge of samsara.
Chang An noticed that outside of reincarnation, there were five such dense laborers, which were divided into five areas outside of reincarnation, and on the streets behind, a steady stream of bronze was constantly transported to these five areas.
Each area is separated by at least 100 miles, and is in a semicircle, like a huge dumpling wrapper, enveloping half of the circular forest.
"These five districts are divided into red, black, white, green and yellow, corresponding to the five cities after they were built, and also corresponding to the legendary Five Emperors, which is facing ours, that is, at the end of this street, is the Red Emperor City."
"Facing the Red Emperor City, spread to the left and right, the first city to the right is the White Emperor City, and the first city to the left is the Black Emperor City."
"To the right of the White Emperor City, there is the Yellow Emperor City."
"Black Emperor City is further to the left, and there is the Blue Emperor City."
"The foundation is built in bronze, and after each city is built, it stretches for hundreds of miles from north to south, and the five cities echo each other from afar."
The chief butler introduced Chang An to their plan to build the five cities.
