Chapter 524: Elysium in Troubled Times (Part II)
Each city in the world has its own characteristics.
Like eternal night.
It is characterized by a cold and murderous temperament, and the seemingly chaotic city follows a certain order, barely running in an orderly and stable manner.
And the Hanging City ......
Chen Jing had never been to that place personally, and judging from Li Mobai's description, the city was like a giant machine fueled by humans.
All the humans who live there are part of this giant machine, some with screws and some with gears, and whether they want it or not, they must push the city forward.
Only the polar day.
Chen Jing felt that this was the place where the living should be.
At least judging from Qiao Youning and the old man's description, the order here is more stable and easier for ordinary people to survive, and it is more restrictive for those who have power.
Therefore, many people feel that the polar day is a peaceful land in troubled times.
Although this place has a lot of preferential treatment for the monks of the monastery, at least they are not as high as the monks of the Hanging City.
Chen Jing followed Erjia into the Buddha Mother Hall, and as soon as he entered the door, he was dazzled by this extraordinary "first hall of the temple".
It's literally resplendent in the truest sense of the word.
It is as if the entire building is made of gold, and even the floor where the feet are stepped on is paved with countless gems of different colors, and the statue of the Buddha Mother sitting in the hall is made of some precious extraterrestrial minerals, which is as cool as metal and crystal clear as glass, which is an indescribable sacred solemnity.
Wait for the last person to step into the Buddha Mother Hall.
The heavy door closed silently.
Chen Jing and Chen Bofu sat to the left of the Buddha statue, while the temple people sat on the right side of the Buddha statue.
Erga is not a slow-moving soft monk, his personality is actually very different from the feeling he gives people, and in a way, he is even more vigorous than Chen Bofu.
No politeness, no small talk.
As soon as he sat down, he chatted with Chen Jing about business.
"A lot of people want you dead right now." Ega looked helplessly at Chen Jing, who was sitting opposite, and had a little headache when he talked about the situation in the outside world, "If you let them know that the temple is in private contact with you, I'm afraid we will also have big trouble." ”
"You're not one to be afraid of trouble." Chen Bofu didn't care whether smoking was prohibited in the temple, he lit one as soon as he took his seat, and looked at the seated statue of the Buddha's mother with slanted eyes, the more he looked at it, the more he felt unpleasant, "Erga, cooperate with my grandson, and your temple can also get a lot of benefits......
"For example?" Oga asked curiously.
"For example......" Chen Bofu touched the stubble on his chin, and smacked it for a long time before he could hold back a sentence, "Deep space will not treat you as enemies." ”
As soon as they heard this, the elders present couldn't sit still, even the elders with the best temper ...... That is, the one who dealt with Chen Jing last time, when he heard the old man say this, he was also so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and he only thought that this madman really didn't take our temple seriously?
"Well, that's a bonus."
Erga was not angry, because he knew the weight of Chen Bofu's words.
It's not an enemy of deep space, it's a friend of deep space.
This seemingly illusory benefit.
Even those old kings dare not despise it.
"Lord Egah." An elder on the side suddenly spoke, and mentioned softly, "Now that those monks have formed an alliance with the Hermit Society, if we rashly agree to cooperate with Deep Space, I am afraid that we will invite a catastrophe, and the hundreds of millions of people in the Polar Sun Capital may also be affected by the flames of war......
"Damn, if you don't want to cooperate, just say it earlier, and I didn't beg you, if it wasn't for Xiao Youning's face......" Chen Bofu stood up scolding, and scolded impatiently, "I used to think that all of you in the temple were characters, at least better than the iron-headed Fang Shi in Hanging City, and better than the stupid X of Eternal Night, but now it seems that you are not as good as ......"
Chen Jing gently dragged the old man and motioned for him not to talk to death.
Since everyone said that they had a tendency to form alliances and cooperate before they came, this elder is talking about these ...... It's just that he wants Chen Jing's side to increase the bargaining chips.
"Lord Egga, let's be more direct and talk about the terms of cooperation?" Chen Jing simply said it straight to the point, which made Ega a little embarrassed for a while, "But I hope that the conditions proposed by your temple are not too outrageous, because to be honest, I don't need the assistance of the temple, and those monks and monks are not a threat to me." ”
With that, Chen Jing glanced at the elders behind Erga again.
"I came to cooperate with your temple, mainly for the sake of Youning's face, this is a second home for Youning, so I don't want to see your temple standing on the opposite side of me one day......"
"Your opposite?" An armless elder sneered and spoke, "Are you threatening our temple?" ”
"I'm just stating the facts."
Chen Jing looked at the elder with a calm face, still with a polite and friendly smile on his face, but there was a trace of golden light flashing in his eyes, like some kind of ancient totem slowly rotating under his eyes.
"I don't need your temple to help me do anything, I just hope you don't stand on the opposite side of me, that's all."
"Can you single-handedly deal with Turing in Hanging City and Gejero in Eternal Night?" The elder on the side spoke.
"Of course not right now." Chen Jing smiled, as if he was saying ethereal words, but the tone of stating the facts made everyone have to believe it, "But it won't be long before Turing and Gegero will be my opponents, and the so-called old gods are not vulnerable in the face of deep space." ”
"Arrogance!"
"Sure enough, he is the grandson of the madman! He's a fanatic, this kid ......."
"I think you guys have itchy skin, right?" Chen Bofu couldn't hear anyone disagreeing with his grandson, so he rolled up his sleeves slowly, "Why don't I teach you another lesson in the temple?" Have you forgotten how Lao Tzu slapped your big mouths in the first place? ”
Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was gradually becoming tense, Qiao Youning, who was sitting next to Erga, suddenly became anxious.
While persuading the elders beside her, she gave Chen Jingzhi a look and asked him to persuade the old man...... But at this time, she found that Chen Jing was a little distracted, as if she didn't see her eyes, and always looked at the Buddha mother sitting on the side in a daze.
At this time.
Chen Jing was indeed distracted.
Because he is talking to the "self" in his head.
"You said you heard the voice of the Buddha's mother?"
"Hmm."
"Is Mother Buddha talking?"
"It's not ...... It's like laughing. ”
“?”
"Anyway, I feel like it's because of your arrival and I'm getting a little weird excited......"
"I don't know it, what's it excited about?"
"Who knows, it's like ...... It's like a hungry dingo seeing meat! Right! That guy might want to eat you! ”
