The Third Dao Hall Chapter 2 The Ruined City

When the eternal night comes, the world is dark, countless creatures are struggling to survive, riots, panic, despair, helplessness, all kinds of negative emotions all erupt, the world is about to fall into silence, no one can escape, the known fate cannot be changed, all living beings will pass away, but there are still people who do not believe in fate, are not afraid of the sky, respect the human heart, the human heart is the destiny of heaven, where my heart is, it is a happy land.

......

Lu Zhong struggled in the dark, anyway, he had nothing, so he would not be afraid of losing, since he would not lose, then he would have nothing to fear. Now he dares to fight for the sun and the moon and dare to change the sky! In this darkness, the most exhausting human will is the most exhaustive, almost everything cannot be seen, and he does not know what he will encounter, and often the unknown is the most terrifying. But the most temperable thing is also the spirit, as long as you survive this darkness, there will be a smooth road ahead.

Lu Zhong silently controlled the black jade stone to slowly move along the path, but he eventually lost his way and was lost in the darkness. The two choices in front of us, go or stay, are to wait in place, hoping that the darkness will not be permanent, but will always disperse. Walking is not like a headless fly, but a purposeful and directional.

If you choose to go, there will be a new problem, if this darkness cannot be dispersed, then is there an end? Or has the direction of the previous journey been changing and taken the wrong path? Or is there a formation here, and he has been spinning in the formation?

First of all, there are dry bones everywhere here, which means that there are many creatures who have fallen into it for various reasons, so how they get in, there must be an entrance, but sometimes the place to enter can also be the place to go out, then it proves that this is not a dead end, the only place where Lu Zhong is stronger than those dry bones is not because he is smarter, but because he can now not bear the death caused by hunger.

The second is that because it is impossible to see in the dark, the road is deviated, so to solve this problem, we must start from the source, what causes the deviation of the route, it is darkness! Then the only thing that can illuminate the darkness is light, how can there be light in this place? Unfortunately, there are plants that emit a shimmer on the ground. Lu Zhong tried to find out his obsession and turned into an arm to collect these plants, and he was lucky to be able to touch these plants, that is to say, he could collect these plants and gather them together, and the light became obvious, like fireflies compared to this darkness, but it was better than nothing. Lu Zhong was about to leave with the "fluorescent torch", and suddenly realized that the obsession he had scattered could not be too far away from the black jade stone.

“...... How can you forget this stubble, it's really troublesome!" Lu Zhong said speechlessly in his heart.

In the end, I had to let go of my obsession first, move the "fluorescent torch" to the limit distance that I could reach, and then blend it into the black jade stone and fly to the "fluorescent torch", repeating the previous method again, although it is troublesome, but the approximate direction can be determined, so that the chance of error will be much smaller.

If it wasn't for simply getting lost, even if there was really a formation to trap him, then Lu Zhong would have no choice, because he didn't know anything about the formation, so he could only be trapped here and enjoy this endless darkness at that time.

Lu Zhong didn't know how long he had been moving forward like this, time seemed to have no concept here, just when Lu Zhong was about to think that he had failed and was about to give up, there was finally a glimmer of light ahead! It was a brighter existence than his "fluorescent torch"! Sure enough, good luck will not favor fools, only smart people can get out, otherwise they will be buried in the deep valley like those dry bones.

For Lu Zhong, it was like resurrection in place, like a person walking in the desert, who had not entered a drop of water for three days, and suddenly saw an oasis, and the joy was indescribable. Without any hesitation, Lu finally greeted that ray of light, with the joy of seeing the light again, with a trace of relief, and stepped into it. Lu Zhong, who turned into a black jade stone, did not have the discomfort of being in the dark for a long time as a human body, and suddenly saw the light world, and saw the world of light very clearly—it was a huge space, just like a huge underground city, and there was a ball of light in the sky that emitted a strong light, illuminating the entire underground city.

But the city was ruined, desolate, and lifeless. The city wall made of hard obsidian has become fragmented, and it may collapse at any time, and the old pattern can still be seen in the ruins, this is obviously an old imperial city, such a magnificent pattern, layers of arches, extending in all directions, is not an ordinary city can have. The once huge building has now collapsed for the most part, and you can still see the outline of the past, which is so magnificent and magnificent. Lu Zhong didn't see any signs of human activity in the city, and the city didn't know when and for what reason it appeared here, and why it became broken, which cast a shadow on Lu Zhong's heart.

The closer you get to the center of the city, the more intact the buildings are, and you can see obscure runes on the walls, door frames, pillars, and even the tiles. Lu Zhong guessed that it should be the effect of these runes that could make these buildings relatively intact. Lu finally walked through the ruins, looking at the scene in front of him, he was a little suspicious of how long he had been asleep, and his eyes were full of desolation, could it be that the human civilization was destroyed, and during his sleep, the wheel of history was staggered?

So although Lu Zhong guessed in his heart, he still didn't want to believe it. He wanted to make sure if this was the world after the destruction, if there were any living creatures, and if he was really the only one left in this world. Lu Zhong "looked" at the sky, this was not the blue sky he had seen in his lifetime, but a gray patch, the only bright light was a large ball of light in the sky, and it was not the sun he was once familiar with.

"Is this still my original world? How long has it been since I died?" Lu Zhong muttered as he looked devastated and devastated his eyes.

The strange thing in the city was that there was not a single corpse or the bones of any animals, as if everyone had disappeared. Lu finally saw that some things remained the same after I don't know how many years, there were two possibilities, one was that all people or creatures abandoned the city and fled, and the other possibility was that there was some force majeure, all life died in an instant, no, it should not be said to be death, but it should be said to be erased.

Lu Zhong was secretly surprised in his heart, what had he experienced to make such a scene happen. In such a strange place, I don't know what dangers there are, but since he came here, it is impossible for Lu Zhong to retreat, he is not afraid of encountering strange things here, the only thing he is afraid of is that this is really the world after the disaster, and he is afraid that he will be the only one left in the whole world. Lu Zhong had an intuition that the hall standing in the center might be the answer. Lu Zhong didn't go directly to the main hall, but flew under the intact buildings next to him and looked at the words on the plaque.

"Changning Mansion"

It is a text that Lu Zhong is familiar with, so this imperial city will not be more than 10,000 years away from Lu Zhong's era, but I don't know whether it is 10,000 years ago or 10,000 years later, and it can't be inferred based on the existing information alone. Lu Zhong thought as he approached the center.

"Bang!", Lu Zhong seemed to have hit a mirror, and something shattered like this. Lu Zhong didn't feel it at all, and the black jade stone was unscathed.

"Hmm, what is it? Is it an enchantment?" Lu Zhongxin said.

"Also, after all, it was the imperial city back then, or the central area, and it would not have been possible to survive until now without some background. Lu Zhong muttered. However, Lu Zhong was more and more surprised in his heart by the black jade stone he parasitized, although this formation enchantment has experienced an unknown number of years of time invasion, but the entire city is intact in the place protected by the formation, which is enough to prove that the extraordinary thing about this large array is that it was shattered by this black jade stone as soon as it was touched, I am afraid that the origin of this stone is not as simple as imagined.

"Forget it, no matter what, let's see what's in there first. Lu Zhongxin said. If you don't understand something, don't think about it for a while, and you will understand it one day. Lu Zhong walked through the palace wall, came to the main hall, and walked up the steps step by step, the closer he got to the main hall, the more he felt the majesty of the year, but in the magnificence, it exuded a dilapidated and desolate decaying atmosphere.

No matter if he has pavilions and pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings, he is still impregnable, indestructible, and unable to resist the invasion of time. Time is the most ruthless enemy, there is no distinction between you and me, there is no distinction between men and women, there is no distinction between races, everything in the world is treated equally, there is no way to avoid it, there is no change!

"Bang!" Lu Zhong hit the barrier again, but this time it was not broken, but Lu Zhong was bounced back. Sure enough, it is worthy of the most central main hall, and it is no wonder that it is the most well-preserved building. Under Lu Zhong's collision, the enchantment was completely revealed, and there were runes painted everywhere on it, and each rune was flowing with golden light, no matter how you looked at it, it was not ordinary! Lu Zhong didn't care what was written on it, he couldn't read it anyway.

"Huh, why is there a hole here?" After Lu finally revealed the enchantment, in a corner not far away, he saw a small hole, as if it had been knocked open by something, and the small hole was full of cracks. You must know that Lu Zhong also bumped it just now, not only did it not break it, but it was also bounced back, which shows that the thing that hits this hole will not be too simple. There are so many things that you can't figure out in this place, and you don't need to dig too deep. Anyway, you have to go in, although this hole appears out of place, but you still have to go in.

Passing through this hole, the scene inside comes into view, much larger than what it looks from the outside. The main hall was closed, and there was a gray shadow on the steps in front of the hall, and it was not clear what it was, but there was a gaze that looked over as if it were substance. An indescribable feeling, he felt that the gaze was very complicated, and all kinds of emotions seemed to be contained in it. Lu Zhong's heart froze, which made Lu Zhong even more afraid to act rashly, and he was just stunned to "look" into the formation, Lu Zhong's thoughts were very simple, you look at me, I also want to see back, no matter what is inside, first of all, the aura can't be lost.

At the same time as Lu Zhong looked inside the formation, a wave of ripples rippled in the void, and then a black shadow rushed in front of Lu Zhong. Frightened, Lu Zhong retreated, until he saw that the black shadow was a miscellaneous rabbit, and his hanging heart was not put down, he thought that something was going to attack him. But although it's just a rabbit, but in this ghost place, there are not even living people, and you say it's an ordinary miscellaneous rabbit, I guess I don't even believe in ghosts. Lu Zhong is still cautious in his heart, the enemy does not move, I will not move, let's see the situation first, it's a big deal to run away, if he can't run away, then he will accept his fate.
