Chapter Seventy-Three: The Deserted City of Heluo

The northern city passes, the yellow sand is long.

The sun chariot is parked here.

"Monarch...... Boss Yang. Hegu Er said: "This boundary is vast and barren, and the negative energy field is concentrated here. ”

The sun stood with his hands in his hands, looking around, dressed in fine clothes that did not fit in with the desolate realm.

"I can sense the negative energy concentrated here, but I don't know what the reason is, but what is more certain is that the negative energy field here does not originate from the group of demons and evil people......

The second drum of the river was unclear, "Demons and demons can summon people's evil thoughts, if it is not derived from demons and evil people, how can this side form a negative energy field?"

Sun said: "He Gongzi, you only understand one thing, and you don't know the other." ”

"Two?"

"Mr. Hoshigaki, explain it to him. ”

Xingyuan smiled at Hegu Er, "He Gongzi, everything in the world follows the way of yin and yang. The yang one, the positive energy field, is visible on the surface, and the yin one, the negative energy field, is hidden inside. The evil thoughts of demons and monsters to summon people are to show the hidden yin energy in their spirits, not to add to them. ”

"I understand, to put it simply, everything in the world has both good and evil sides, and demons only strengthen people's evil thoughts, not give them them. ”

Hoshigaki nodded, "That's it. However, sometimes, even if there is no evil spirit, the negative energy field will suddenly increase, and this situation belongs to the way of natural operation, the yin energy will decline when it is strong, and the yang energy will be revealed when it is hidden, which is the method of dialectic. ”

"Hahaha, it's worthy of Mr. Hoshigaki, everything can be explained. The sun tapped him on the shoulder and walked forward.

"So, Hoshigaki," Kawaguji asked in a low voice, "since the negative energy field here is naturally formed, let's leave it alone?"

"Of course, you have to manage. Xingyuan said: "This side has already formed a negative energy field, if it is not dissipated in time, if it is used by demons, the result will be even more out of control." ”

"Come and see what this is...... you two," the sun beckoned.

Hoshigaki and Kawaguji hurried to the sun, their eyes falling on the pile of rotting corpses that were almost buried in the sand.

River Drum Er frowned, "Come to think of it, there should be a reason for the yin and yang of the energy field here......"

Xingyuan leaned over to investigate, "Here, the vitality of the spirits is too weak. The grass and trees do not grow, and the birds and beasts do not sing, which may also have something to do with this barren desert. ”

"So, there won't be any more towns here, just rotting corpses and geists?" asked Kawaguji.

"Of course not, if there is no Zhuang Hu Town, where will there be piles of rotting corpses and groups of wandering spirits?" the sun pointed not far away, "You see, there is a city wall more than ten miles away in the western area here, and I will go there to visit." ”

With that, he walked straight to the city wall.

Hoshigaki and Kawaguji followed.

Towering walls, ruined everywhere. The gate was half-open and half-closed, but there was not a single guard...... Only the mottled handwriting engraved on the city tower tells the vicissitudes of life here, and of course its name - Heluo City.

"I'm afraid it's been decaying for a long time. Hoshigaki sighed.

River Drum 2: "This can't be a dead city...... right?"

Sun: "Let's go in and have a look." ”

The three Heavenly Realm Immortals walked into this deserted city on foot.

The main street is rarely inhabited, but the closed doors on both sides of the shop house are a clear reminder of the city's former prosperity.

At the end of the alley, there is an attic. It looks like it has just opened, and the signboard on it is very conspicuous.

"Huichen Inn. ”

The sun took out Betelgeuse's jade plaque from his sleeve, "It seems that he is one step ahead of me." ”

"Antares should have made arrangements for him in advance. He Gu Er said from the side.

"Anyway, let's go check it out first. Xingyuan said that, and walked into the inn with the sun and the river drum.

Unexpectedly, the inn hall was very lively.

Those who live in the hotel, those who play sharp, drink wine, eat meat, and draw fists......

"It's ...... What's the situation?"

The sun, the star wall, and the river drum were all a little stunned.

"Greetings to the three guest officers, it seems that they are all from other places, do you want to play the tip or stay in the hotel? But our guest rooms are temporarily full, if you want to stay in the hotel, you have to be wronged and the three of you have to squeeze a side room......"

The innkeeper came up with an abacus, and it was Betelgeuse Seven who was temporarily bidding farewell in Shimen City.

"Shops, this is ...... What's going on?" the sun asked in a deep voice.

Since the establishment of Betelgeuse Seven in the human world and the opening of this Huichen Inn, this place has always only received celestial star officials who have been ordered to descend to the mortal realm, and there are very few mortals coming and going.

"Your Excellency, forgive me. Betelgeuse was able to say to the sun: "This is our inn within a radius of 100 miles, and there is no reason not to do business when you open the door." ”

"Then your business is really a rare good time," the sun also replied with the method of sound transmission, "Even I and the two Aichen have to squeeze into a side room together." ”

"I had already prepared a room for the three of them, but who knew that there were more and more guests staying in the hotel, and I really couldn't keep them. Betelgeuse was a little aggrieved, "I also arranged the itinerary according to Antares, but I don't want him to refer to the timeline of the Heavenly Realm, which caused me to arrive here three months early, causing such trouble." ”

"If I don't listen to the explanation, I will definitely not live in a partial room!" Even if it is the method of transmitting sound, the displeasure of the Sun Monarch is overflowing.

Betelgeuse Qi rarely wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "You don't like the words of the partial room...... How's the stable?"

“......”

When the Sun Monarch and the two Star Monarchs, Nandou and Niu Su, walked upstairs to the room, Betelgeuse Qi followed with his head buried in his head, and the abacus in his hand blocked his left side of his face tightly.

"Your Excellency the Monarch is angry, Your Excellency Xie Monarch understands, long live your understanding, long live Your Monarch......"

Sun: "Shut up!"

Betelgeuse 7: "Yes." ”

When I came to the side room, I saw that although the house was small, the windows were still bright and clean. However, there was only one bed to rest, and the table was so small that it could only sit for two people. The sun, the star wall, and the river drum entered the house, and Betelgeuse could only stand at the door.

River Drum Er: "Betelgeuse Seven, why don't you come in?"

Betelgeuse VII: "Forget it, indeed...... It's too crowded. ”

The sun snorted coldly.

Xingyuan asked, "Betelgeuse Seven, we went all the way, but we saw that the suburbs of the city were all desolate, why was it so lively in this inn?"

Betelgeuse looked at him, "Nandou Xingjun, you really don't know?"

Hoshigaki was stunned, "What should I know?"

Betelgeuse sighed, "The three of them came with the negative field of energy. This place is desolate, and corpses are strewn across the outskirts, as you must have seen when you came. ”

"Say something fresh!" the sun sat on the bed, still complaining in his heart.

"Yes, yes......" Betelgeuse replied again and again, and continued: "I came here three months early, and I have found out some of the reasons. Because of the climate, there is a lack of trees and forests, and the water and soil cannot be retained, and the ground is naturally barren, and the people in the world are hungry. Because of the perennial famine and the government's harsh taxes, people here can walk as they please, and those who can't walk can only starve to death. The rest of the victims who survived here came up with a way to continue to live......"

Xingyuan clenched his sleeve robe tightly in both hands, and his tone was heavy, "What way?"

“...... Easy to eat. Betelgeuse couldn't bear it, but still squeezed these four words out of his throat.

In the crowded side room, Rao is a warm and bright sun monarch here, and the atmosphere is also suddenly much colder.

"The Sun Monarch nourishes all things with light, originally to operate the reincarnation of the human chain. But now, instead of repairing the food chain on their own, this group of mortals wants to go against the path of cannibalism!"

He Gu Er couldn't bear it, and finally expressed the resentment in his heart.

"Although we are celestial star officials, you can't look at mortals from the perspective of immortals, just like Antares shouldn't use the timeline of the celestial realm to arrange Betelgeuse's itinerary, sooner or later something will go wrong. Hoshigaki reassured: "The famine in the world is not unrelated to the changes in the natural climate. However, they prayed to the heavens, and the heavenly realm was far away from them. Isolated and helpless, they cannibalize their own kind...... It's just to live. Man, the obsession with being alive is very powerful. My Lord gave birth to the priest and received his prayers, so I can understand it somewhat. ”

River Drum II: "Understand, understand their cannibalism?"

Hoshigaki: "Of course not! I just understand their obsession to live desperately, and this obsession is powerful enough to turn positive into negative and show the evil side of human beings." However, at this time, if we, the Celestial Officials, don't help them, and just attack them from above, we will only let those demons take advantage of the loophole again......"

"Then what do we do now?" said the second river drum: "You must know that cannibalism is a great rebellion, and those who practice this way will surely be infected with poison and die, and then turn into dead walking corpses, gnaw the living everywhere, and spread countless epidemics......"

The sun raised his hand and spoke: "River Drum Er, I know your feelings, and if you are too compassionate, you will inevitably hate it. But Hoshigaki is right, I am waiting here to help the world and dissipate the negative energy field, and you are only complaining here, and you can't solve the fundamental problem. ”

Kawaguji sighed deeply, "I'm just worried about them...... I know the curse that the Creator set for cannibalism, and the corpse died in the wilderness, standing in the world, not distinguishing between the same and the different, and eating each other. ”

Seeing this, Hoshigaki walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry. My resurrection power can heal their corpse plagues, and it can also regenerate the trees here, and everything will be better, and the people will continue to live and work in peace and contentment, and the negative energy field will be dissipated......"

Kawaguji turned his head to look at him, his eyes were shining, "I'm sorry, whether it's Yizi eating or cannibalism, it's too difficult for me to accept......"

"I understand," Hoshigaki wrapped his arms around his shoulder, "you calm down your thoughts first, and I'll dissipate the negative energy field on this side." ”

The sun got up, personally helped Kawaguer to the bed and sat down, and then said, "Xingyuan, tell me about your plan." ”

Xingyuan said: "I plan to go outside and gather the people in this city first, and the inn of Betelgeuse Seven will provide them with sufficient food, and then use the power of life to help them rebuild the forest and resume farming......"

The sun was just about to nod, but Betelgeuse Qi said from the side: "Nandou Xingjun, your method is indeed very good, but unfortunately, someone has already taken the lead......"
