Chapter 464: The Cursed World
In the inn, the atmosphere has become much more relaxed than before.
Everyone was fed, and Lu Xuan didn't allow them to overeat, so they melted the pastries with saliva and soothed their hunger little by little.
Everyone gathered around Lu Xuan, with reverence on their faces, but with a hint of fear.
Lu Xuan's method just now was simply immortal.
Lu Xuan sat beside Wang Dashan's family and held Liu'er's small body in his arms.
Although she was fine, Lu Xuan still used the Yuchi True Technique to groom her body.
If not, even if Liu'er can save his life, Shouyuan is destined not to last long.
And Liu'er also knew that Lu Xuan was his savior at this moment, and he curled up in Lu Xuan's arms like a cat, with an extraordinarily comfortable expression.
"I'm not an immortal. ”
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "Have you ever seen an immortal in this world?"
He seems to be inadvertently leading the conversation.
Wang Dashan said respectfully: "Benefactor, you must not be a mortal, you should be a monk, right? Since you are a monk, you naturally deserve the title of immortal." ”
Sure enough, there are monks in this world.
Lu Xuan's spirit perked up, "I am indeed an immortal cultivator, I have been in retreat in the mountains for many years, but after I got out, I found that the world has changed beyond recognition. Brother Wang, can you tell me what's going on in this world?"
Wang Dashan hurriedly said: "Benefactor, don't call me that anymore, where am I worthy? ”
Lu Xuan smiled.
Only then did Wang Dashan speak: "No wonder the benefactor's clothes are different from ours, I don't know how long the benefactor has been in retreat? ”
"There is no sun and moon in the mountains, and I don't know how long I have been in retreat. ”
Wang Dashan groaned slightly, "If you don't say it, I can guess that you will have to be in retreat for at least three hundred years." ”
Lu Xuan's eyebrows moved, "How do you say this?"
Wang Dashan sighed: "Looking at the abundance of the benefactor, it is obvious that he was born in that era three hundred years ago. According to the oral tradition of the elders in our village, three hundred years ago, there were many immortals like benefactors, and the whole world was also full of vitality, and everyone had enough food and clothing, which was simply a fairyland. ”
"However, in the last three hundred years, this heaven and earth seem to have been cursed, and every year is not as good as the year. ”
"Since three hundred years ago, the monks in this world have rarely walked in the human world, and most of them have guarded their respective immortal gates, and they don't know what they are doing. And the world is full of strange things. ”
Lu Xuan frowned and said, "What strange things happened?"
Without waiting for Wang Dashan to speak, the people around him started talking.
"There are a lot of strange things, the wind and rain are good every year, but less than 20% of various crops survive, even if these two percent are ripe, they are all crooked melons and cracked dates. ”
"Not to mention the crops, those flowers and trees in the mountains are dying in batches every year, and now there are barren mountains everywhere."
"Also, a good ploughing ox suddenly became a fine, and he opened the belly of his master's house, and then ate all his internal organs, God, shouldn't the cow eat grass?"
"The most terrifying thing is those demon beasts, those beasts originally rarely invaded the human world, but now I don't know why they are fierce, and the power of each demon has increased dramatically, it is said that even many monks have to retreat. We humans are like pigs and dogs in front of monsters......"
The noise gradually quieted down, and everyone looked sad and thought about it
Sad thing.
Wang Dashan said: "The old man said that it is precisely because we lived too well three hundred years ago that we will exhaust the blessings of heaven and earth, and in the future, the world will not tolerate us." ”
Lu Xuan couldn't help frowning secretly when he heard this.
The world is full of weirdness.
How can a mere 300 years change the fortunes of a world?
According to Wang Dashan and others, this world has never suffered any catastrophe, as if it has really been condemned by heaven, which has made the situation of mankind take a sharp turn. Presumably, the aura of this world has become so thin, it should also be a matter of the past three hundred years.
What happened three hundred years ago?
Lu Xuan asked again, and although Wang Dashan and the others also tried their best to answer, they could no longer give Lu Xuan too many useful hints. After all, they are all ordinary people, and their knowledge is shallow. only told Lu Xuan that the name of this place was Ancestral City, which was the capital of the Chiwu Kingdom. This country of Chiwu is huge, even eagles and falcons do not know the border, and it is said that there are still many countries similar to Chiwu in this world.
As for the Holy Ancestor, it is even more rumored to be unrecognizable, some people say that the Holy Ancestor is a god from outside the heavens who came into the world and shaped human beings in his own image, and some people say that this world was originally created by the Holy Ancestor, and these hundreds of millions of living beings are the descendants of the Holy Ancestor family.
In the end, Lu Xuan didn't have to ask more.
So he got up and said goodbye, Wang Dashan and the others didn't dare to stay, so they had to thank them again, and then send Lu Xuan out of the door respectfully.
It wasn't until Lu Xuan walked far away that he turned around and saw Wang Dashan and the others still standing there, silently sending them away. And that skinny and pitiful Liu'er was always shaking his little hand and saying goodbye to Lu.
but some of them are gracious.
Lu Xuan was about to leave this ancestral city to try to see if he could find the monks in this world, but at this moment, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in the distance.
A large group of soldiers in helmets and armor were roaring down the street.
The physique of these soldiers was quite majestic, each like a wolf and a tiger, and the momentum was very different from the miserable appearance of the people in this inn.
There were hundreds of soldiers in this group, and every time they went to a place where the people gathered, they would break up and break up three or five soldiers and rush in.
Then there was a commotion, and then the whole long street became full of chickens and dogs.
Lu Xuan subconsciously stopped, not knowing what was going on.
At this time, the group of men and horses was passing by the inn just now, and several soldiers rushed to the group of people who were still standing at the door, as if to say something, and the crowd suddenly became in a commotion. Without saying a word, the soldiers forcibly dispersed the crowd, and then snatched Liu'er from Wang Dashan's hands.
Then, like catching chickens, the soldiers galloped away with Liu'er in the direction they had come.
In front of the inn, Wang Dashan had already been beaten to the point of bleeding.
Lu Xuan suddenly frowned, these soldiers should obviously be soldiers of this Red Wu Country, but why did they rob a little girl who was only seven or eight years old?
He watched as the soldiers whizzed past him, but he didn't make a move.
Turning around, Lu Xuan returned to the door of the inn.
"What happened?" Lu Xuan asked in a deep voice.
Wang was already stunned, but when he saw Lu Xuan going and returning, he suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly said in a panic: "Benefactor, they ...... They said that His Majesty had made a decree to recruit all the boys and girls under the age of ten in the city to go to the Temple of the Holy Ancestors, and they ...... What are they going to do?"
How does Lu Xuan know?
It's just that even if you think about it with your heels, it's not
What a good thing.
He picked up Wang Dashan and said with a smile: "Don't worry, let's go to the Holy Ancestor Hall together." He knew that the palace he came to must be the Holy Ancestor Palace.
Wang Dashan suddenly grabbed Lu Xuan's hand hard, and said with all his beard:
"Benefactor, they must have bad intentions. ”
Lu Xuan patted his hand and smiled: "Don't be impatient, let's go and have a look." ”
As he spoke, he pulled Wang Dashan and walked in the direction of the Holy Ancestor Hall.
"Go together, go together!"
Outside the door of the inn, a group of people also followed.
............
Along the way, Lu Xuan realized that there were not as few people in the ancestral city as he thought.
So many people appeared out of nowhere, almost like a flood. There must have been many families who had their children robbed, and everywhere there were women crying out and men roaring angrily.
Lu Xuan drifted through the crowd, and after a while, he finally returned to the square outside the Holy Ancestor Hall again.
At this time, the originally empty square was already crowded with people.
Lu Xuan roughly estimated that at least more than 100,000 people had gathered here, and in the entire ancestral city, there were still soldiers rushing back with young children, and more Li people flocked to it.
The statue of the Holy Ancestor standing on the top of the sky and the earth made most of the square immersed in gloom.
The Holy Ancestor Hall is high on the top of a thousand steps, and at this time, there are more than 1,000 children standing in front of the Holy Ancestor Hall.
Wherever the children have seen such a sight, they are weeping bitterly and looking for their parents.
And there are many wolf-like soldiers around, how can they let the children leave.
"What are you doing robbing my child!
"Master Jun, it's good, my child is timid and can't stand it. ”
There were voices of supplication everywhere, but at the foot of the thousand steps, thousands of soldiers had already formed a strong line of defense, not allowing anyone to approach the Holy Ancestor Hall. Some parents were so agitated that they were beaten by the soldiers, screaming and crying incessantly.
Lu Xuan couldn't help frowning in the crowd.
Such a big battle?
Why did the king of the Red Crow Kingdom dare to offend the wrath of the whole city?
After another half an hour, the soldiers who searched the whole city rushed back, and the children in front of the Holy Ancestor Hall had reached nearly 2,000, and the people in the square had skyrocketed to 1 million!
Gradually, the anger of the people spread, accumulated, and finally exploded completely.
The roar was like a tsunami from the mountains, including Wang Dashan, people roared and rushed to the Holy Ancestor Temple, although there were many soldiers guarding there, but they couldn't stand so many people, and they were about to be submerged.
At this moment, an angry roar was heard in midair.
"Your Majesty has arrived, who dares to be presumptuous!"
The sound was like spring thunder, resounding through the heavens and the earth, and some of the old, weak, sick and disabled people were shocked and fainted on the spot, and the momentum of the people suddenly turned sharply.
Lu Xuan's eyes widened and he looked at the void with a hint of scrutiny.
Immortal cultivators?
Immediately, he saw that from the depths of the ancestral city, a golden light shot out.
It was an old man in a golden robe, shaped like a hanged ghost, with gray hair and eyes like electricity.
Behind the old man, there was a large sedan chair carried by eight people, and the eight sedan chair drivers were also wearing golden robes, all of them were as majestic as a mountain, and their faces were ugly.
The sedan curtain swayed gently with the wind, revealing a ninety-five honor.
