Volume 9, Re-entry Chapter 175 Faster than the Voice
What is the fastest thing in the world?
Some people say that it is a voice, and the reason is that if Ah Jia runs and shouts towards Ah Yi who is ten feet away, then even if Ah Jia does not run to Ah Yi's side, Ah Yi can still hear Ah Jia's cry from a distance, which means that Ah Jia's voice will reach the target faster than Ah Jia himself. Because of this, these people believe that the sound is the fastest.
I have to say that this answer is indeed not unreasonable, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that it is wrong, because there are actually many extreme phenomena in nature that can overturn this assertion, such as "thunder and lightning"!
Yes, thunderbolts. Among them, "thunder" represents thunder and "electricity" represents electric light, and although the two are produced at the same time, people will always hear thunder only after seeing the electric light.
It can also be seen that light is indeed faster than sound, and not only that, but light is the fastest existence in the world!
The question then arises, is it possible, or is there a way for a person who is the spirit of all things to be faster than the light?
The answer is no, absolutely not!
It is said that even the fastest twenty people in the rivers and lakes today are always unable to beat the light, and even if they do their best, even the limit of their life is only a little faster than the sound!
I have to say that this sounds a bit unpleasant, but with that said, imagine how amazing it would be if a man was talking to you from a distance and rushing towards you, and his voice flashed before it was so pleasant, and you could only hear what he had just said!
Because of this, as long as a person's speed can reach the level of "faster than the voice", his light skills can definitely be called shocking, and even many heavily guarded places can come and go freely. For example, now, although Jin Yichen can obtain the world's strange trick "Love in the Alluring City" only outside the city, because of his absolute confidence in his speed, he still wants to take advantage of the time to start and go to Wushuang City to investigate.
......
On the other hand, strictly speaking, Wushuang City is not actually a city.
Yes, it was actually built as the appearance of a city, but it was not an actual city enclosed by the emperor himself. It's just that having said that, the fake city of Wushuang City is not inferior to the average real city at all.
The main altar of Wushuang City is located in Yuzhou, Henan, and its branch altars are located in more than 300 different places in Shenzhou, and its power is second only to the Tianxia Society. It's just a slight fly in the ointment that it is currently restrained by the World Association and suppresses its expansion, otherwise its power will be even more than that!
To get back to the point, in addition to the city lord Dugu and his family and the gate in the general altar of Wushuang City, there are also a small number of local civilians in Yuzhou who live together, so there are crowds of people inside and outside the city gate every day, and there is an endless stream, which looks so lively.
Having said that, there are many times when there are some strange things behind the excitement.
For example, one of the things that surprised the citizens of Wushuang City was that outside the gate of Wushuang City, a huge iron pillar about three feet thick and more than five feet high had been erected at some point.
The appearance of this iron pillar is unremarkable, but the most strange thing is that the two big characters about one foot square carved on the iron upwards - Martial Saint!
Why an iron pillar is erected in front of the gate of Wushuang City, and why the word "Martial Saint" is engraved on this iron pillar, even the successive city lords of Wushuang City do not know the answer to these two questions. Not only that, but this iron pillar didn't know what kind of strange iron it was forged for, but it was cut and burned continuously, and even with the deep internal force of the city lord Dugu, it couldn't be pulled out at all.
So the question is, who can engrave the word "Martial Saint" on such a hard iron pillar? Will even the person who engraves the word have incredible peerless skills?
No one knows this answer, and even all of this is still an unsolvable mystery to all the citizens and gates in the current Wushuang City, as well as the city lord Dugu. It's just that perhaps behind this huge iron pillar, there is also a myth hidden between the two inscriptions of "Martial Saint", a myth of the fall of the city!
Getting back to the point, at this moment, Jin Yichen outside the Wushuang City was looking at the huge iron pillar from a distance, and at the same time, he was also carefully paying attention to the alternation of the Wushuang City Gate. There is no other reason, after figuring out the rules, he can blend into the city with his extraordinary light skills.
Of course, as a matter of common sense, if a person wants to sneak into a certain place, he basically has to dress up well. For example, the young will pretend to be old, and the old will pretend to be young or young. In addition, those who do not want to dress up like this tend to smear their faces, making them either have large moles on their faces, or look ugly and strange, and sometimes they are even more noticeable than if they were not disguised. But one thing is undeniable, no matter how they disguise it, their purpose is to make it difficult for others to recognize themselves.
Having said that, this is almost always for the average person, on the contrary, if they are real masters, then they may not care if others can recognize them at all, because they will not even give others a chance to recognize them. This is like Nie Feng two days ago, or Jin Yichen today!
"Whew!" Guard A said to Wei Yi: "That gust of wind just now was really cool!"
"Yes!" Guard Yi replied, "It's a pity that it's not as cold in the blink of an eye as the day before yesterday, otherwise this hot day wouldn't be so difficult!"
At this time, I only heard that the other guards also echoed one after another, but what they didn't know was that, just like the day before yesterday, when they felt a chill in their body and mind, they had all been derelict in their duties.
Of course, this can't be blamed on them, after all, although they are the elites carefully selected by the peerless city lord Dugu, it is really hard to imagine that in terms of their knowledge, there will be a master in this world who can reach a level where speed is faster than sound. In the same way, because the sound is much faster than the breeze, the person who brought the breeze is long gone when they feel the coolness, that is, the other party is so fast that they can't catch it with their naked eyes.
(Note: Faster than sound makes it impossible for the naked eye to catch it is not a lie, but in reality, many bullets are fired at a speed equal to the speed of sound, and the human eye obviously cannot catch them.) )
To get back to the point, after entering the Wushuang City from the city gate in the same majestic manner as Nie Feng a few days ago, Jin Yichen even observed carefully along the criss-crossing streets and alleys, and as a result, at first glance, he found that the class concept in this city was indeed very serious.
Yes, if you look closely, you can see that in addition to the beautiful mansion "Wushuang Mansion" built in the center of the city, the rest of the hundreds of acres of land are covered with all kinds of large and small buildings. And seven-tenths of them are inhabited by lone disciples, and only three-tenths are inhabited by many civilians. Not only that, but as far as the eye could see, almost all of the people sitting in the restaurant eating and drinking were men dressed in the costumes of the guards of Wushuang City, and even at best, there were only some wealthy merchants who had not had time to leave the city to eat and rest.
Clearly, the gap between the rich and the poor in the city is enormous. Among them, of course, the rich are the soldiers under the Dugu side, and the poor are naturally those civilians. Looking closely, I saw that most of the civilians in Wushuang City were dressed in rags, with yellow faces and thin muscles, and even many of them were simply begging on the street......
To get back to the point, I think that when he was in the Tianxia Society, Jin Yichen learned from the information about Wushuang City that the Dugu side only cared about expanding his own power, but never imagined for the lowly civilians of Wushuang City, and even continued to squeeze their hard-earned money to support his subordinates. And now that he saw it with his own eyes, he felt that Wushuang City and Tianyin City were completely two extremes, and it could even be said that the civilians of Tianyin City were definitely much happier than the civilians of Wushuang City.
Yes, although it is at the foot of the mountain where the Tianxia Association is located, under the protection of the Xiongba, the people of Tianyin City have always been safe and well-being, and they have never had to pay any harsh taxes to the Tianxia Association (the military expenses of the Xiongba all come from the automatic dedication of both black and white). Similarly, although Xiongba has a ruthless style, it is completely only aimed at dissidents in the rivers and lakes, and never harms innocent people, and if you look at it from this point alone, Xiongba is undoubtedly more heroic than Dugu.
To get back to the point, although she has thoroughly investigated the city, Jin Yichen did not find the "dream" that can be compared with Xue Yuan in terms of benevolence and kindness, obviously she has already given up the righteous act of singing in takeaway to help civilians because of her encounter with Nie Feng. However, Jin Yichen did not regret this, because he had already discovered the location of the red brick house near the Guandi Temple in the east of the city!
......
That night, in a simple grass hut temporarily built outside Wushuang City, Jin Yichen was carefully watching the "Demon Codex" in his hand by the light of the fire. There is no other reason, and his hope of obtaining "Love in a Fallen City" is all on this.
To get back to the point, as mentioned before, this codex records in detail the "Six Great Demon Crossings" created by Bubai Suzhen, namely the Death Crossing, the Snow Crossing, the Jingdu Crossing, the Heartless Crossing, the Birth Crossing and the last "Immeasurable Crossing"!
Among them, the death crossing, snow crossing, warp crossing and heartless crossing were respectively taught by Bu Bai Suzhen to his "black pupil", "Xueda Demon", "Jingwang" and "Demon Niang" four people, as a result, the black pupil later evolved the "death crossing" into the "hand of death", and the Xueda Demon evolved the "snow crossing" into the "Da Mo Snow Hand", and the king of the scriptures changed the "Jingdu" to "no meridian and no way", and only the remaining demon girl has been concentrating on practicing Bai Suzhen's "heartless crossing".
Of course, in addition, Bubai Suzhen also taught all her subordinates the spiritual reincarnation of "He Shengdu", but for various reasons, only the "Black Hitomi", "Xueda Demon" and "Sutra King" have been reincarnated many times like her, and the rest of them have never tried.
