Chapter Ninety-Three: Prologue 2
Chapter Ninety-Three: Prologue 2
No one knows how far the end of the world is, just like no one knows whether there is a fairy heaven above the nine heavens, and whether there is a Huangquan underworld in the depths of the earth. No one has ever seen it, only zĂ i is in the legend.
However, in the human world, there is actually a terrifying place like purgatory, where no living beings can survive, and it is even more terrifying than all the most terrifying realms and the worst environment in the one hundred and eight realms of Hongmeng. There is a sinister aura all year round, and the slightest contamination will erode the bones and skin until there is no flesh left.
A single living being, whether it is animals, beasts, or even plants and grasses, can survive in such a place.
That place was originally a calm and beautiful realm called the Rainbow Realm.
As the name suggests, it used to be a good place, but now it's the biggest irony of its name.
Ling Chunni slowly walked into the ruins in front of him, and under the bright skylight, there was silence in the ruins. Unlike the ruins that Shen Shi had experienced in the Wentian Secret Realm, the ruins here, especially the houses, were only desolate, but most of them were still intact. It's just that people go to the empty building, and the dilapidated atmosphere can't be concealed after all.
In fact, as early as 10,000 years ago, it was also prosperous here, and even after the end of the demon war, although the Feihong realm opposite the teleportation circle was turned into a dead place by the demon clan's self-detonation of the Netherworld Tower, but on the side of the ancient teleportation circle on the side of the human race, the human race was still in a tight position.
For many years, around this ancient teleportation circle, a very powerful force of Terran monks has been arranged, guarding this entrance strictly and carefully, because in a sense, this teleportation circle is actually the only connection point between the human race and the remnants of the demon race who fled to the demon world.
If one day, the demon clan intends to counterattack the Hongmeng world, then this will definitely be the first place where the big war will take place.
It's just that no one expected, even those six Terran saints, that the power of the Demon Clan's artifact, the Yin Netherworld Tower, was so terrifying. After the self-destruction, a generation of peerless Heavenly Demon Silver Fox was naturally martyred for it, but the entire Flying Rainbow Realm was also instantly reduced to a terrifying hell, and no living beings could enter it.
The human race can't do it, and the demon race can't do it either.
After the war, the human race still held on here for many years, but as the long time gradually passed, both the human race and the demon race gradually despaired of this yin sea, you must know that the yin and evil qi in the Flying Rainbow Realm is so terrifying, even the Yuan Dan Zhenren among the Terran monks and the Heavenly Demon in the Demon Race enter the Flying Rainbow Realm, they can't support it for too long and will fall, let alone say that the people who are lower in line will fall.
Once inside, it's a dead end.
So today, 10,000 years later, this place has become a ruin that no one cares about, and no one pays attention to this place that once attracted all the attention of the world. For the vast majority of people who are still alive in the world today, this area outside the ancient teleportation circle is just a faint memory in the depths of their memory.
Thousands of years have passed like this, and it will continue to do so in the future.
To this day, a woman walked through the ruins, walked past the empty houses, came to the center of the ruined city, and stood in front of the ancient teleportation circle.
The wind blew, and her clothes fluttered.
The golden light suddenly fell from the sky, and the ancient and reckless aura swept in, Ling Chunni laughed in the wind, and took a deep breath, although there was no other breath in the wind, but the corners of her mouth seemed to be filled with a look of intoxication and yearning.
Then she stepped onto the Ancient Teleportation Circle.
The golden light fell suddenly, and her figure disappeared in an instant, in the huge city, the ruins were as silent as before, but after a while, there was a strange sound, faintly sounded from all directions, inside and outside those desolate empty houses, under this clear sky, strange and terrifying ghosts lit up from all directions, and countless ghost shadows swayed out from every corner, this ruin, suddenly became a ghost town.
A sharp howl rang out violently, and at that moment, I don't know how many ghosts were roaring and howling, screaming as if they wanted to vent something.
âťâťâť
Tianhong City, outside the Qingshan Inn.
Shen Shi walked back to the inn, his expression was relaxed, after a few days of no harvest, today he finally found a "Blue Frog Stone" in a small shop while wandering, this is a very rare and precious spiritual material, but the appearance is usually wrapped in a thick layer of stone skin, only the core has a strange and transparent beautiful blue light, it is very difficult to distinguish.
The owner of the small shop was an unlucky guy who looked away, and treated this blue frog stone as a worthless scrap, threw it aside at will, and then cheapened Shen Shi.
Of course, with Shen Shi's current net worth, those bags full of dragon blood and dragon meat, if they really want to be able to exchange for spirit crystals, this small blue frog stone is actually nothing. However, this Taobao looks at eyesight, and it is still very happy to get the treasure.
Therefore, Shen Shi was in a pretty good mood, so much so that he didn't care when he saw and heard the whispers of scattered cultivators on the street. Originally, the elders of the sect didn't care about something, did he, a little young disciple, still have to join in the fun?
"Why don't you just find a skilled craftsman in this Tianhong City, take out this blue frog stone, and then carve it into a beautiful jewelry, and go back to give it to Chunni?" Shen Shi thought in his heart, since he found out that most of his friends were children of the family in the morning, he suddenly felt a little closer to Ling Chunni, and his thoughts about her became deeper and deeper.
Sun Heng can find a way to get Sang Luo wine and give it to He Xiaomei to please her, and Shen Shi is not a fool, of course he will think of this kind of thing.
The blue frog stone is very valuable, but if you really want to give it to someone, especially for girls, it is actually a really good gift.
However, this kind of jewelry business is different from the shops that sell spiritual materials, and he didn't pay much attention to it in the past, so after thinking about it, Shen Shi still decided to go to Sun You and ask him if there were any more famous jewelry merchants in Tianhong City. Maybe subconsciously, Shen Shi directly skipped Zhong Qinglu and Zhong Qingzhu, who should have been more familiar with these things, and asked them with the gems given to others, maybe it would be very embarrassing.
And after his back walked into the inn, on the long street behind him, in a corner, a fat man slowly stood out. He silently looked at Shen Shi's back in front of him, and for some reason, his eyes were faintly moist.
Beside this fat man, there was also a capable middle-aged man, at this moment he saw the appearance of the fat man, and couldn't help but whisper: "Boss, since you have found the son, why don't you go up ......"
This fat man is naturally Shen Tai, after he saw Shen Shi walk into the Qingshan Inn, he took a deep breath, and after a moment of silence, he said:
"My agreement with the Immortal Society lasts for ten years, although now it is valued by the old immortals and my status has been improved, but there are some things that are better not to give people a crooked mouth, otherwise, maybe the stone will be implicated. Speaking of this, he smiled faintly and said to himself:
"Anyway, it will only be less than a year at the latest, and when our father and son get together, my hard work for so many years will finally not be in vain. â
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "That's fine." â
Shen Tai turned around and walked back a few steps, as if he wanted to leave, but then as if he remembered something, he suddenly frowned, turned his head to the man behind him and said, "By the way, I heard that after this Sizheng Conference, the situation of the stone does not seem to be very good. You send someone to inquire in the dark to see what the hell is going on. I'm just such a son, and I've been working hard for so many years, just to leave something for him, so that he can live a better life, and he doesn't have to work as hard as I do......"
Before the words fell, the man beside him suddenly coughed, his face was a little strange, and he said softly: "Boss, in fact, haven't we inquired before, the days of the stone boy a few years ago, uh, you know, are not very easy, a little sloppy, and often risk their lives to ...... Uh, do those things......"
Shen Tai froze for a moment, his fat face suddenly darkened, he snorted and walked forward, muttering in his mouth: "it, why do we father and son have to live so hard! You go and inquire about Lao Tzu, all in all, my son is not a person who can be bullied by cats and dogs casually!"
"Yes, my subordinates understand. â
