Demon in the world
Chapter 85 Sleep, ancient kingdom!
The desert is quiet and bright at night, the moon hangs in the sky like a huge silver plate, and the distance between the blue sky and the white ground is very close to the sky.
In the vast white sandy land, the tower for offering sacrifices to the gods suddenly shook violently with the ground, and the towering body of the tower slowly slanted towards the west, and finally the top of the tower poked the center of the moon and fixed there.
Steel chains and iron locks collide together, and from time to time there is a clanging sound accompanied by sparks. This sound is especially abrupt in the silent desert. The pangolins and gerbils in the dunes are vigilant. Lying motionless on the spot, the lions and the herd of wild camels were also disturbed, staring at the tower uneasily.
The desert animals seemed to lose their voices for a moment, but they were quickly frightened by the miserable howls from the shrine tower and ran around, or burrowed into the hills, or ran like a hurricane, and disappeared in the bright sand in a blink of an eye.
Just when all the animals were about to escape from the center of the desert, a figure came in the distance. He was wearing a large white coat, and his steps were light and fast, as if flying in the snow. After walking, he left two very shallow lines on the sand. The moonlight stretched his figure very, very long.
The person who came was Fu Guanzi, who had already led the see-off team away, but decided to return alone on the way.
When he saw the crooked tower body from a distance, his footsteps paused, but he straightened his back and continued to move forward, and his footsteps were faster than before.
Even though Yanyun Jiangnan is his dream, Roland, who is windy, cold and sandy, is his root.
For so many years, he has been struggling to survive because he understands that only by living can he hope to save this oppressed land.
He has been waiting, hoping that a real god will descend from the sky and take away this hateful sand demon, but he hopes that it will not come for a long time, and the sharp edges and courage in his early years have also been worn away by time.
On the surface, he is still a high priest who is admired by everyone, but in fact he is a coward who crawls under the feet of the devil and dare not fight.
Not only did he become an accomplice of Manhatu, but he also sent his own kind into the mouth of monsters with his own hands. Although he was wearing a pure white holy garment, his heart was already full of filth.
Now that even guests from foreign lands dare to fight against the devil, how can I abandon it and run away?
However, when he was about to approach the Leaning Tower, a strange wind gushed out from the tower gate, as if with countless sharp claws, it tore off several strands of the linen clothes on his wide sleeves in the blink of an eye.
Fu Guanzi hurriedly covered her face and backed up more than a dozen steps before standing still. The wind came and went quickly, and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye. The leaning tower fell to the ground with a bang, and the sand splashed everywhere.
The desert returned to a state of dead silence, as if all the creatures had collectively disappeared.
Fu Guanzi was frightened, who can tell him what the situation is now?Is Manhatto still there?If it exists, how could it allow the sacrifice tower, which symbolizes its own status, to fall down?
The evil wind just fled so fast that he didn't even recognize the original shape. If Manhatu really abandoned the tower and fled, does it mean that the little visitor from the Central Plains is still alive?
When the dust subsided, Fu Guanzi still did not draw any conclusions from the observation. He hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to go in and find out.
The body of the tower had been broken and deformed, and half of the door was buried in the sand. Hidden in the shadows, he walked cautiously inside, with nimble steps like a nimble cat.
The inside of the tower was already in disarray, the floor and walls were scorched by fire everywhere, the air was filled with the pungent residual evil spirit, but there was still no one there.
Fu Guanzi frowned, flicked off the dust on his body with his fingers and frowned, and returned to his respectful expression during the day, "The villain heard about the commotion nearby, so I came here to investigate the cause. I hope Lord Manhatu will forgive me for being rude."
Seeing that no one responded, his eyes lit up, and he raised his voice and said, "The High Priest, Fu Guanzi, please see Lord Manhatu!"
Repeated four times in a row, the tower was still quiet, Fu Guanzi relaxed and asked urgently: "Is the guest from the Central Plains still alive?"
The evil spirit in the tower dissipated, Fu Guanzi took out a fire pocket from his sleeve to illuminate the surroundings, and checked every place carefully, but he never saw Ah Jiu's figure, and Manhatu and his men all disappeared. .
For so many years, Manhatu has always lived in this tower like a rock, because he is the god of Roland, and the tower of worship is also a symbol of Babulun's invincibility.
But now that the tower has fallen and Manhatu has escaped, does this mean that Roland can usher in a new world of freedom?
This should be a big surprise, right?But Fu Guanzi couldn't be happy no matter what.
Ruled by Manhatu for so many years, most Roland people have lost their wildness and lived like lambs, but this situation may be changed by a little monster from the Central Plains... The reality is like a sharp needle. It hurt his self-esteem as a Rolandian.
He felt deeply exhausted from all the past, and there was only the lonely and cold moon facing him far away in the sky.
For millions of years, the full moon in the sky has consistently reflected the earth, and all living beings have come and gone like tides. The outside world may have changed its appearance. Only Roland lived under the majesty of Manhatu for a long time. constant.
The Roland he loves is a free and unrestrained hot land, a righteous and unyielding national blood, it shouldn't be that now knowing that Manhatu is a monster, but still worshiping and respecting him, just like himself...
Just when he was deep in memory and self-blame, he heard a clear voice, and the guest from Central Plains suddenly appeared miraculously, "Didn't Mr. Fu leave? Why are you here?"
Fu Guanzi turned his gaze and looked at Ah Jiu from head to toe. Although the tip of his nose was sweating, his face did not look like he had been injured.
He felt that his throat was a little tight, and his cheeks were hot with shame, "Manhatto..."
Ah Jiu jumped off Fu Dou's back, and said apologetically, "It disappeared. I chased it out of the Babulun Desert and didn't see its shadow."
In fact, he also discovered some strange situations, but he was suspicious and couldn't speak directly, he needed time to verify.
Knowing that there is no definite news of Manhatu's death, Fu Guanzi subconsciously tightened her fingers, and she couldn't tell whether it was worry or joy.
Fu Guanzi took Ah Jiu back to the mansion silently, the two had their own concerns and said nothing all the way.
The Tower of Sacrificial Sacrifice fell down. This should have been a major event that caused a sensation everywhere, but Roland City remained as eerily quiet as usual, and people lived according to the rules as if nothing had happened.
When passing through the bustling city, I suddenly heard a snake charmer say: "Is it an illusion? Or is it because of the bright sunshine, today's worship tower seems to be more eye-catching and majestic than usual, and you can see it clearly from here?" .”
Fu Guanzi paused, and turned his face to look behind him in disbelief. Sure enough, at the place where they came back, he vaguely saw a point of a tall tower, and his mouth opened slightly in disbelief, "Manhatu is really invincible..."
Watching the collapsed sacrificial altar quietly erected again, did the disappearing Manhatu also return to it?
Even if a lucky person comes to help, Roland still can't escape the bad luck of being controlled by the devil... The desert eagle who is imprisoned by chains, when can he break free and return to freedom?
Ah Jiu didn't have much appetite that day, Fu Guanzi went to the prince's palace to return to his life at noon, and had someone prepare a sumptuous food, but Ah Jiu politely refused to let go of the demon world.
When Fu Guanzi came back with a tired face, he found that Ah Jiu was sitting cross-legged in the courtyard alone, with a dignified expression and deep thought.
He walked up to Ah Jiu and sat down on the straw mat, "I heard that you haven't eaten today, is it because the dinner didn't suit your taste?"
Only then did Ah Jiu come to his senses, "I just can't figure out some things, so I can't eat."
Fu Guanzi thought: "If you are thinking about last night, forget it."
"why?"
"Because he is our god," Fu Guanzi said lightly, his bright eyes were covered with a layer of despair, "no one can defeat him, Roland is destined to survive under his protection."
Ah Jiu stared at the cold snacks on the table, and said casually, "Not necessarily."
Fu Guanzi was surprised and said: "What is the explanation for this?"
Ah Jiu was about to speak, but when a servant came in hurriedly, he whispered in Fu Guanzi's ear: "Master Helian came in through the back door, looking flustered, I don't know what happened."
His voice was deliberately low, but the person sitting next to him had amazing hearing and could hear every word clearly.
Fu Guanzi's slightly frowned eyebrows reminded Ah Jiu of the aristocratic young man covered in gold ornaments, and he couldn't help guessing the relationship between the two of them in his heart.
After a while, Ah Jiu heard the conversation from the back garden across the house.
Fu Guanzi swept away the fatigue just now, and said with a bit of teasing: "What kind of wind is blowing today, why did Lord Helian come to my house in person?"
Helian Rongxin stepped on extremely heavy steps and said angrily: "Stop laughing at me, do you really think I want to come to your poor place?"
The two seemed to be pushing and shoving for a while, and Fu Guanzi's voice became softer, "Don't lose your temper, you know I just like to tease you, I don't know how happy I am if you can take the initiative to come here."
He Lianrong snorted coldly, and said solemnly after a long time: "Tell me honestly, did something happen during this sacrifice?"
Fu Guanzi said nonchalantly, "Why do you ask that?"
"I've been very disturbed for the past two days, and...I had a dream last night."
"Nightmare?"
"No, it's more terrifying than a nightmare. I dreamed that the tower of offering sacrifices to the gods fell down..." His next words seemed to be covered by Fu Guanzi.
"There is a god when you raise your head three feet, so don't talk nonsense."
"What god? What kind of god is he? The whole Roland knows that Manhatu is a man-eating devil!" He Lianrong said angrily.
Fu Guanzi tried to stop him in a low voice, and blurted out an unfamiliar title, "Chiman, you are drunk, stop talking nonsense!"
"I'm not drunk! These are all facts, I don't believe you don't know! Ah Zi, you were not like this before, why are you becoming... so timid and cowardly now? Look up at the starry sky! It means that our compatriots have lost another one. Do you dare to look into their eyes and swear that you have never doubted Manhatu? Do you say that they disappeared for the sake of Roland's future!"
"Red Barbarian..."
He Lianrong felt unspeakably sad, "You know everything, but you are still willing to be the executioner of Manhattan... The Ah Zi I know is kind and just, not a filthy stream stained with the blood of my compatriots! You are the priest of Baburun Er Desert, shouldering the important task of guarding the people of Roland, Roland is the goshawk soaring nine days, not the doll food of Manhatu! I am fed up with the current cage life, living in death all day long Under the shadow of fear, and will never be able to get out of this yellow desert... I have seen people trying to escape from Roland, but when their footsteps were still in the area of Baburun's ears, their bodies disappeared, like Like crushed sand, one grain at a time... once the wind blows, there will be no living people in a blink of an eye. I have dreamed countless times that I also ended up like them..."
Fu Guanzi said: "I will protect you."
"Does your so-called protection mean sacrificing the lives of my compatriots to let me survive? What about the promise you made to take me to the Central Plains? With Manhatu here, I'm afraid I can't do it in my life? Once we walk out of Roland, we will Turn into sand like the people before... Ah Zi, we will never be able to leave this place."
The backyard fell into dead silence, Ah Jiu picked up the snacks on the table, hesitated for a long time but put them down again.
I don't know how long it took, Fu Guanzi pulled Helian Rongxin to the front yard.
Helian Rongxin was startled when he saw Ah Jiu, and then he said in surprise: "This sacrifice...isn't it already given to Manhatu? Did you find someone to take his place?"
Fu Guanzi said: "His name is Ah Jiu, and he is a guest from the Central Plains. Didn't you dream that the tower of offering sacrifices to the gods fell down last night? That's not a dream, it's real... Ah Jiu knocked down during the battle with Manhatu." The Tower of Sacrifice."
He Lianrong's eyes widened in shock, "Who is he, that Youse can fight Manhatu...and come back safely and intact?"
"He is a descendant of the Chinese Dragon Clan."
"It is said that the spring equinox climbs to the sky, the autumn equinox dives into the abyss, and the holy beast dragon clan that calls the wind and rain?"
"That's right," Fu Guanzi said with a wry smile, "Even he couldn't completely wipe out Manhatu... Just when we thought we had returned to the city victoriously, the tower was restored, and Manhatu seemed like it never existed." It exists as if it has been hit. You said that such a devil with immortality and restoration ability, how should we deal with him?"
Helian Rongxin quickly recovered from the shock, "You mean you want us to continue to suffer? I don't know what's the point of living like a walking dead!"
Fu Guanzi said: "We can still wait..."
"When will we wait? Even the descendants of the Dragon Clan can't destroy Manhatu, what hope do we have to wait? Ah Zi, I feel like I can't go on anymore, and I can't go to your Central Plains appointment anymore."
"Chiman, what do you want to do?" Seeing his resolute face, Fu Guanzi suddenly became nervous.
He Lianrong pulled out the scimitar in his waist in embarrassment, his blue eyes were brightened by the cold sharpness, and his cheeks flushed with excitement, "I'm going to kill Manhatu and avenge those innocent people who died. Didn’t the Tower of Sacrifice fall down once, then it’s possible to fall down a second time! A third time! Even if I can’t hurt him, I will have no regrets in my life!”
Fu Guanzi grabbed the back of his knife, "You are not allowed to do stupid things..."
"Stupid thing?" Helian Rongxin sneered and pushed him away, "Maybe it's like this in your opinion, we've grown up now, we can no longer understand each other like we used to, I don't expect the present The High Priest understands my thoughts."
"Chiman, listen to me..."
"Step aside!"
"If you really want to go, you have to step on my dead body."
The eyes of the two collided fiercely, and sparks were almost flying in the air.
Ah Jiu kept watching in silence with complicated eyes, until He Lian Rongxin put the scimitar on Fu Guanzi's neck, and then suddenly said: "Sorry to disturb you two, Mr. Fu... I may have discovered something strange. Nothing to say."
Fu Guanzi said: "About Manhatu?"
Ah Jiu said cautiously: "It should be related to the whole Roland."
"what's up?"
"Can we talk alone?"
Helian Rongxin immediately dismissed her opinion when she heard the words, "I'm not curious about what you guys are talking about!"
Even though he said so, his body has no intention of leaving.
Fu Guanzi felt at ease, and asked the boy to bring tea to Fu Guanzi, while he and Ah Jiu entered the room.
He was really curious about what this young man had discovered. Since he returned from the tower of offering sacrifices to the gods, his expression was a little strange, and he refused to eat or talk much.
After confirming that there were only two people in the room, Ah Jiu said, "Mr. Fu, I may say some absurd words next, so don't blame me if I offend you."
Seeing his hesitation, Fu Guanzi immediately felt a strong sense of uncertainty in his heart, and said politely: "It's okay, just speak up if you have something to say."
Ah Jiu took a deep breath, "I don't know if you remember what I said a few days ago... that is, in the place where I live, Roland has completely disappeared from the world, and replaced by the mysterious area called the ghost land in the Baburun Er Desert .”
Fu Guanzi will probably never forget this nightmare, his pupils suddenly dilated unconsciously, "Why did you bring this up all of a sudden?"
"After knocking down the Tower of Sacrifice last night, I am sure I have killed Harmantu."
"What?!" Fu Guanzi's face paled instantly, "You said you killed Harmantu?"
Ah Jiu nodded, "But when I ate the corpse as food, it disappeared without a trace."
"So...Hamantu is indeed a true god with an immortal body."
"No," Ah Jiu pursed her lower lip, and said a little jerky, "The answer is just the opposite."
"The opposite answer? What do you mean..."
"Hamantu is dead."
"Ah Jiu, don't make such serious jokes."
"I'm not joking," Ah Jiu's eyes were extremely sincere, and he continued after a pause, "Ever since I came to Roland, I've been thinking about why this place is called the Ghost Realm by the world because of its peacefulness. Tourists who enter by mistake will disappear inexplicably. It was not until this morning that I realized that not only Manhatu, but the entire Roland City... have ceased to exist, although you seem to still be there."
Fu Guanzi's body shook suddenly, as if struck by lightning, "How is this possible... This is impossible..."
Roland, the pearl of the desert, a prosperous resort with thousands of years of civilization, how could it disappear without any reason?
Ah Jiu said again: "As an outsider, I can't even digest your food, and the reappeared Manhatu, he is like an amnesiac who doesn't remember our battle last night at all. If you don't believe it, we Now you can go to him to verify..."
Fu Guanzi clenched his fists for a long time, but slowly let go, and said in a calm tone, "This is impossible. If the Roland people have disappeared, why should I stay here?"
Ah Jiu stared at him with scorching eyes, "I know it sounds ridiculous, but I guarantee that every word is true."
Fu Guanzi laughed, "I didn't say you were lying. It's normal for people to think unbelievably in some special circumstances. It's late at night. I still have something to tell Chi Man, so I won't accompany you. go to bed early."
"Mr. Fu..."
Fu Guanzi raised his hand to stop him, and said seriously: "To avoid misunderstanding, please don't speak to others about what you just said."
Ah Jiu was exhausted from hearing his words, so she couldn't say anything more.
When sleeping in the middle of the night, Ah Jiu vaguely heard the sound of quarreling in the distance, and carefully identified that it seemed that Fu Guanzi and Helian Rongxin were walking around the world.
The relationship between these two people seems really different, it seems that they are more ambiguous than friends but not full of lovers.
Ah Jiu turned over and pillowed her arm, thinking of Wenren Chulai for no reason.It's been a while since I left Qingqiu, I don't know if he is doing well now, and if he will be angry with me when we meet again...
"What's my brother's favorite thing?" "You."
No way, Ah Jiu bit her lower lip hard. What he likes now is the nine-tailed fox!
He tossed and turned until dawn and closed his eyes for a while, but when he woke up, he didn't find Fu Guanzi, including his diligent servant.
At first, I just felt puzzled, but after a long time, I gradually realized that something was wrong, and when I went to Fu Guanzi's room, I saw Helian Rongxin.
Ah Jiu hurriedly untied the person, and He Lianrong tried to rush out before he could settle down. Fortunately, Ah Jiu was helping him in time to avoid falling.
Helian Rongxin suddenly tore off the cloth scarf, grabbed Ah Jiu's shoulders, and said in a panic, "Ah Zi is gone, hurry up and take me to the Tower of Sacrifice!"
Ah Jiu asked unexpectedly, "Where did Mr. Fu go?"
He Lianrong said impatiently: "I couldn't persuade him last night...he said he wanted to find Ha Mantu alone! Aren't you a dragon son, please save Ah Zi!"
"Don't worry, Fu Xian will be fine." Ah Jiu stared at him, took out Fudou from the Qiankun bag, let it change, and the two rode on it.
The sky was a bit dark that day, and Fu Dou traveled through the clouds extremely fast, and brought them to the God Sacrifice Pagoda in a blink of an eye.
Helian Rongxin pulled out the scimitar, and rushed in without any hesitation.Ah Jiu was not in a hurry, and walked slowly on Huodou's back.
The lights in the sacrificial tower were still bright, but the griffins and hamantus were all gone. Only Fu Guanzi stood in front of the tribute platform, with a gloomy expression, not knowing what he was thinking.
After hearing the sound of footsteps, he raised his head, but turned a blind eye to the anxious Helian Rong in front of him, and asked Ah Jiu in a hoarse voice, "This...what the hell is going on?"
Manhatu, whom he had feared for many years, was really vulnerable. Does this mean that Ah Jiu's guesses last night were all true?Everything about Roland is illusory?Ghost Realm Roland...how did Manhatu die?How did Roland disappear?Why does memory have no impression?
Ah Jiu couldn't help him solve the confusion, because he himself was also at a loss. The outside information only vaguely described the glory that this dynasty had once had, and there was no record of the reason for its disappearance.
He fought with Manhatu, and accidentally found countless corpses under the tower, many of them had just been killed.
According to Ah Nazhi's understanding, these so-called sacrifices were not locals, and they were most likely killed because tourists from Babuluner strayed into the ghost realm.
"Why is this happening?" Fu Guanzi muttered to herself, "Chiman, we..."
He suddenly looked at Helian Rongxin, but found that there was nothing in front of him.Helian Rongxin, who was still flustered and anxious just now, disappeared in front of everyone like transparent smoke.
Ah Jiu said: "Manhatu also disappeared that day...Master once said that people are born because of obsession, and if they are unwilling after death, they will forget the fact that they are dead and reappear in the world in the form of undead. Live a peaceful life as usual, and it goes on and on.”
Fu Guanzi whispered: "Chiman is dead, Roland has disappeared... Is Roland now just an illusion formed by my obsession?"
After a long silence, he seemed to have finally walked out of the dark tunnel and saw the light again. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he recalled some very distant and strange images.
At that time, Chiman came to lobby himself, saying that he could no longer bear Manhatu, and had already gathered some people to fight against it at the risk of their lives.
After his persuasion was ineffective, he took people to the Tower of Sacrifice, and never came back.
After receiving the news of Helian Rongxin's death, he finally could no longer live in mediocrity, and decided to confess his actions to the people in the city and expose Manhatu's true face.
Then there was a fierce battle... The Roland people dyed the Babulun Desert red with flesh and blood, overthrew the tower of worshiping the gods, killed countless big monsters under Manhatu, and finally resorted to their own death. The move killed Harmantu...
Fu Guanzi finally remembered that Chiman and himself as the high priest had died many years ago.
The Roland people used tens of thousands of lives to regain their freedom!
No wonder he has been living these years in a trance like a dream, always feeling that the time is too long!
Roland... Roland who has disappeared for 2000 years... he has dreamed of the desert countless times and wanted to go out, but in the end he stayed here forever.
But he didn't regret it. The Roland people didn't rely on external forces, but relied on themselves to kill the invading demons, even though they paid a lot of life for it!
After Chi Man, the Tower of Sacrifice also disappeared, and the sun shone directly on Fu Guanzi, making the halo of his white clothes even more white and dazzling.
Slowly, the distant Roland City also disappeared like a mirage, and the white quicksand stretched infinitely into the distance with gentle wavy curves.
The sky is blue and transparent, without any clouds or stains. The low bushes sway gently with the breeze, and a few weird and lovely creatures pop out from below. It's almost crazy to watch.
For the first time, he discovered that this water- and material-poor desert is so beautiful that it makes people addicted to it!
Ah Jiu could read the mixed emotions of sorrow and joy from his face, and couldn't bear to interrupt it, touched Fu Dou's head and was about to leave, but heard Fu Guanzi say: "Wait, where are you going?"
Yes, although I don't understand why Qiye wanted him to come to Roland, but today it seems that there is no need to stay.
Where are you going next?Back to Qingqiu?Are the brothers still there?How should we continue to get along if we meet Wen Renchu?
Go back to Qingcheng Mountain to find master and senior brother?But what if they asked about their relationship with their brother?
For a moment, he actually felt a sense of loneliness that although the world was big, he had nowhere to go. He was stunned for a long time and couldn't say a word.
Seeing that he was silent, Fu Guanzi said sadly, "I'm leaving too."
"Where is Mr. Fu going?"
"I have killed too many people. The next thing I should do is to go to hell to make amends, but no matter what kind of punishment I suffer, it is my own fault."
Ah Jiu nodded, "The cycle of cause and effect is the way it should be in the world. I haven't figured out where to go yet, and I should go for a walk next time."
Fu Guanzi stuck her hand out of her sleeve, took out a crystal bottle and handed it to Ah Jiu, "This is a relic left by my mother. I can use it to collect leisure time for other purposes. It is said that it was made by a mage in the Central Plains. I will keep it for you as a souvenir."
Collect time?Ah Jiu took it over and looked at it, and saw that there was a faint light green starlight inside, and he liked it very much, but he hesitated when he thought of something.
Fu Guanzi thought that he didn't know about treasures, so she explained: "When this bottle is opened at night, you can collect sleep time. If you are busy the next day, you can take out the saved time and use it."
Only then did Ah Jiu say: "Before, everything I ate at Mr. Fu's place would make me sick to my stomach. I wonder if I can bring this thing out of Babuluner smoothly."
What if it breaks down on the road?This is Mr. Fu's mother's relic.
Hearing what he said, Fu Guanzi also felt embarrassed, hesitated for a moment and said: "This bottle has been stored for many years, it is a pity that it has not been used by my side...You dragons have a slow growth period, and you are still an underage little monster , it’s better to break it up and use it all.”
Ah Jiu also thought it was a good idea, but she didn't know what to do with so much time.
Fu Guanzi seemed to have a plan, held the bottle in his hand with a little force, and the crystal bottle was shattered into bits and pieces of powder. He sprinkled the powder and muttered something, and the fragments formed a crystal door under the sunlight.
After stopping his hand, his face became extremely pale and haggard. Chong Weijiu forced a smile and said: "Don't worry, this bottle has been collecting time for human beings. For the dragon clan, it is just a flick of a finger for thousands of years. I think you are pure and kind-hearted. Contains power but can't use it, I only hope that these spare time can help you grow more."
"Thank you, Mr. Fu." Ah Jiu was about to ride in, but was stopped by Fu Guanzi, "This mount doesn't know how long it will last, so it's better not to enter."
Ah Jiu jumped off Fu Dou's back, took a deep breath and walked into the crystal door formed by the time bottle.
As if a gust of wind whizzed past his face, Ah Jiu couldn't control his body and unconsciously transformed into a prototype. A stream of heat surged in his body and rushed to his limbs. He held his breath and let out a long roar, which made his heart feel comfortable. some.
After it calmed down, it looked back, and found that Fu Guanzi and the door had disappeared, only Fudou squatted on the ground and looked at him in amazement, presumably frightened by the roar.
Looking at the endless desert, Ah Jiu couldn't help thinking of the desert city in the bustling illusion, and couldn't tell what it was like for a while.
From now on, here will be the quiet Baburon, and there will be no more so-called ghost land Roland...
It is very comfortable to step on the soft desert with paws, and Ah Jiu doesn't want to change back to human form for the time being.
It walked slowly, and Fudou followed carefully. After a while, Ah Jiu realized that his body seemed to be more than a little bigger. No wonder Fudou was a little timid towards him.
The former Babuluner is now renamed as the Maoyan Desert, which is popular and vivid. The nearest residential area in the Maoyan Desert is Baizhou City.
However, the current Baizhou City is no longer the Baizhou City that Ah Jiu saw a few days ago. At that time, although the buildings in the city were dilapidated, they were still neat and clean, but now there are broken bricks and tiles everywhere, and none of them are intact. Live, including Tianbao Gandian.
The houses were all crooked and collapsed, and the Tianbao flowers in the yard were shaken to pieces. The situation was miserable like a strong wind passing through.
Seeing Ah Jiu come back, several students were very happy, and they rushed to ask him what happened in the past few days. The medicine jar didn't say anything, but silently took out some food for him to eat.
Ah Jiu asked what happened in the city, but no one knew. Some said it was an earthquake, some said it was a hurricane, but it was only for a moment, and no one could see clearly the result.
One of the girls suddenly stared at his face and said, "Ah Jiu, why do I think you've changed?"
Ah Jiu bit the bread and was stunned, "What changed?"
"It seems to have grown up suddenly, with a sharper chin and a straighter nose..."
"Yeah." Ah Jiu responded vaguely, neither refuting nor explaining.
In Jiangcheng Dingsheng Company, someone quietly pushed open the door of the boss's office, "Master Bai...you should have felt the voice from Maoyan Desert in the morning, right?"
Bai Ze raised his eyelids slightly, and Jun asked with a blank expression, "What's wrong?"
The man said excitedly: "News came out on the Internet, saying that the entire building of Baizhou City was damaged because of this..."
"Are there any human casualties?"
"It's not like Demon Walking the World."
Bai Ze continued to bury his head in his work, "Understood, you can go out."
"Can you reveal some news, when did such a powerful little monster appear in our demon world? I thought that in the new generation, the kitten fox born by Jiuwei and Jinhua Mao was the most talented."
"Have you finished the cost report for this quarter?"
"A little bit more..."
"Give it to me in 2 minutes."
"Don't wow... I'll go right away!"
The man rushed out the door in a hurry, no longer in the mood to gossip.
After he left, Bai Ze raised his head, "Maohu, Riji, Taotie... It seems that it's time to rearrange the hundred demon list."
At night, Ah Jiu was lying in the coolness of the open air and counting the stars, and the medicine jar came over with the wine bottle in hand, "Do you want a drink or two?"
Ah Jiu quickly sat up, "I don't know how to drink..."
But the medicine jar said: "You are not a child now, it doesn't matter if a man drinks some wine."
Ah Jiu was moved by what he said, and immediately took two sips from the cup, only to realize that it was not a strong wine, but a fruit wine with a grape aroma, sweet and lingering aftertaste.
"I'm very happy today," Yao Guanzi blushed a little, as if he was talking to himself, "because something happened in Baizhou City that could attract the attention of the world...even though we paid all our houses for it. There are young people He came back and said he was going to take us to rebuild our homeland."
Although Ah Jiu didn't spend much time in the city, she also knew that the people staying here were old, weak, women and Confucianism. There were very few young people. Compared with the flowery city outside, the dry and barren desert was not attractive at all. A lot of people want to get out and try to stay there.
As a result, the population of Baizhou City became smaller and smaller, poorer and poorer, and more and more like an empty city.
Yao Guanzi continued: "Several students who live here also said... they will come to the school to teach during the holidays, let the children read and write, and some people say that they will stay here in the future because they like the air and blue sky here... Ah Nine, do you like it here?"
"I like it, the people here are nice, and the fruits are extra sweet."
The medicine jar lowered its mouth, and its ugly face looked a little ugly, "Then if you have time in the future... come here and have a look, I believe it won't be long before this place will look different, just like the old Roland That way... Roland has not disappeared, it is with the Baburun Er Desert, it will remain unchanged for thousands of years, as long as we are still alive, we will rebuild a beautiful homeland, right?"
Ah Jiu Qing said, "White Boat City will be better than Roland, because there is no Manhatu here."
The medicine jar drank the wine in the jar, and the voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, "Ah Jiu, can you take me to the Fool's Inn?"
"The Fool's Inn?" Ah Jiu immediately became alcoholic, "You know I have a Fool's Inn?"
"Yes, many people know about it now." Yao Guanzi said disapprovingly, "I don't have the luck to taste the legendary bright delicacy that can satisfy all human wishes?"
"What do you wish for?"
"I want to find someone..."
"Who?"
"Helian Rong Xin."
Ah Jiu was silent for a long time, and then said: "The rule of the Fool's Inn is to exchange one thing for another. If you want to eat bright food, you have to exchange something from your body with me."
"you think
In the vast white sandy land, the tower for offering sacrifices to the gods suddenly shook violently with the ground, and the towering body of the tower slowly slanted towards the west, and finally the top of the tower poked the center of the moon and fixed there.
Steel chains and iron locks collide together, and from time to time there is a clanging sound accompanied by sparks. This sound is especially abrupt in the silent desert. The pangolins and gerbils in the dunes are vigilant. Lying motionless on the spot, the lions and the herd of wild camels were also disturbed, staring at the tower uneasily.
The desert animals seemed to lose their voices for a moment, but they were quickly frightened by the miserable howls from the shrine tower and ran around, or burrowed into the hills, or ran like a hurricane, and disappeared in the bright sand in a blink of an eye.
Just when all the animals were about to escape from the center of the desert, a figure came in the distance. He was wearing a large white coat, and his steps were light and fast, as if flying in the snow. After walking, he left two very shallow lines on the sand. The moonlight stretched his figure very, very long.
The person who came was Fu Guanzi, who had already led the see-off team away, but decided to return alone on the way.
When he saw the crooked tower body from a distance, his footsteps paused, but he straightened his back and continued to move forward, and his footsteps were faster than before.
Even though Yanyun Jiangnan is his dream, Roland, who is windy, cold and sandy, is his root.
For so many years, he has been struggling to survive because he understands that only by living can he hope to save this oppressed land.
He has been waiting, hoping that a real god will descend from the sky and take away this hateful sand demon, but he hopes that it will not come for a long time, and the sharp edges and courage in his early years have also been worn away by time.
On the surface, he is still a high priest who is admired by everyone, but in fact he is a coward who crawls under the feet of the devil and dare not fight.
Not only did he become an accomplice of Manhatu, but he also sent his own kind into the mouth of monsters with his own hands. Although he was wearing a pure white holy garment, his heart was already full of filth.
Now that even guests from foreign lands dare to fight against the devil, how can I abandon it and run away?
However, when he was about to approach the Leaning Tower, a strange wind gushed out from the tower gate, as if with countless sharp claws, it tore off several strands of the linen clothes on his wide sleeves in the blink of an eye.
Fu Guanzi hurriedly covered her face and backed up more than a dozen steps before standing still. The wind came and went quickly, and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye. The leaning tower fell to the ground with a bang, and the sand splashed everywhere.
The desert returned to a state of dead silence, as if all the creatures had collectively disappeared.
Fu Guanzi was frightened, who can tell him what the situation is now?Is Manhatto still there?If it exists, how could it allow the sacrifice tower, which symbolizes its own status, to fall down?
The evil wind just fled so fast that he didn't even recognize the original shape. If Manhatu really abandoned the tower and fled, does it mean that the little visitor from the Central Plains is still alive?
When the dust subsided, Fu Guanzi still did not draw any conclusions from the observation. He hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to go in and find out.
The body of the tower had been broken and deformed, and half of the door was buried in the sand. Hidden in the shadows, he walked cautiously inside, with nimble steps like a nimble cat.
The inside of the tower was already in disarray, the floor and walls were scorched by fire everywhere, the air was filled with the pungent residual evil spirit, but there was still no one there.
Fu Guanzi frowned, flicked off the dust on his body with his fingers and frowned, and returned to his respectful expression during the day, "The villain heard about the commotion nearby, so I came here to investigate the cause. I hope Lord Manhatu will forgive me for being rude."
Seeing that no one responded, his eyes lit up, and he raised his voice and said, "The High Priest, Fu Guanzi, please see Lord Manhatu!"
Repeated four times in a row, the tower was still quiet, Fu Guanzi relaxed and asked urgently: "Is the guest from the Central Plains still alive?"
The evil spirit in the tower dissipated, Fu Guanzi took out a fire pocket from his sleeve to illuminate the surroundings, and checked every place carefully, but he never saw Ah Jiu's figure, and Manhatu and his men all disappeared. .
For so many years, Manhatu has always lived in this tower like a rock, because he is the god of Roland, and the tower of worship is also a symbol of Babulun's invincibility.
But now that the tower has fallen and Manhatu has escaped, does this mean that Roland can usher in a new world of freedom?
This should be a big surprise, right?But Fu Guanzi couldn't be happy no matter what.
Ruled by Manhatu for so many years, most Roland people have lost their wildness and lived like lambs, but this situation may be changed by a little monster from the Central Plains... The reality is like a sharp needle. It hurt his self-esteem as a Rolandian.
He felt deeply exhausted from all the past, and there was only the lonely and cold moon facing him far away in the sky.
For millions of years, the full moon in the sky has consistently reflected the earth, and all living beings have come and gone like tides. The outside world may have changed its appearance. Only Roland lived under the majesty of Manhatu for a long time. constant.
The Roland he loves is a free and unrestrained hot land, a righteous and unyielding national blood, it shouldn't be that now knowing that Manhatu is a monster, but still worshiping and respecting him, just like himself...
Just when he was deep in memory and self-blame, he heard a clear voice, and the guest from Central Plains suddenly appeared miraculously, "Didn't Mr. Fu leave? Why are you here?"
Fu Guanzi turned his gaze and looked at Ah Jiu from head to toe. Although the tip of his nose was sweating, his face did not look like he had been injured.
He felt that his throat was a little tight, and his cheeks were hot with shame, "Manhatto..."
Ah Jiu jumped off Fu Dou's back, and said apologetically, "It disappeared. I chased it out of the Babulun Desert and didn't see its shadow."
In fact, he also discovered some strange situations, but he was suspicious and couldn't speak directly, he needed time to verify.
Knowing that there is no definite news of Manhatu's death, Fu Guanzi subconsciously tightened her fingers, and she couldn't tell whether it was worry or joy.
Fu Guanzi took Ah Jiu back to the mansion silently, the two had their own concerns and said nothing all the way.
The Tower of Sacrificial Sacrifice fell down. This should have been a major event that caused a sensation everywhere, but Roland City remained as eerily quiet as usual, and people lived according to the rules as if nothing had happened.
When passing through the bustling city, I suddenly heard a snake charmer say: "Is it an illusion? Or is it because of the bright sunshine, today's worship tower seems to be more eye-catching and majestic than usual, and you can see it clearly from here?" .”
Fu Guanzi paused, and turned his face to look behind him in disbelief. Sure enough, at the place where they came back, he vaguely saw a point of a tall tower, and his mouth opened slightly in disbelief, "Manhatu is really invincible..."
Watching the collapsed sacrificial altar quietly erected again, did the disappearing Manhatu also return to it?
Even if a lucky person comes to help, Roland still can't escape the bad luck of being controlled by the devil... The desert eagle who is imprisoned by chains, when can he break free and return to freedom?
Ah Jiu didn't have much appetite that day, Fu Guanzi went to the prince's palace to return to his life at noon, and had someone prepare a sumptuous food, but Ah Jiu politely refused to let go of the demon world.
When Fu Guanzi came back with a tired face, he found that Ah Jiu was sitting cross-legged in the courtyard alone, with a dignified expression and deep thought.
He walked up to Ah Jiu and sat down on the straw mat, "I heard that you haven't eaten today, is it because the dinner didn't suit your taste?"
Only then did Ah Jiu come to his senses, "I just can't figure out some things, so I can't eat."
Fu Guanzi thought: "If you are thinking about last night, forget it."
"why?"
"Because he is our god," Fu Guanzi said lightly, his bright eyes were covered with a layer of despair, "no one can defeat him, Roland is destined to survive under his protection."
Ah Jiu stared at the cold snacks on the table, and said casually, "Not necessarily."
Fu Guanzi was surprised and said: "What is the explanation for this?"
Ah Jiu was about to speak, but when a servant came in hurriedly, he whispered in Fu Guanzi's ear: "Master Helian came in through the back door, looking flustered, I don't know what happened."
His voice was deliberately low, but the person sitting next to him had amazing hearing and could hear every word clearly.
Fu Guanzi's slightly frowned eyebrows reminded Ah Jiu of the aristocratic young man covered in gold ornaments, and he couldn't help guessing the relationship between the two of them in his heart.
After a while, Ah Jiu heard the conversation from the back garden across the house.
Fu Guanzi swept away the fatigue just now, and said with a bit of teasing: "What kind of wind is blowing today, why did Lord Helian come to my house in person?"
Helian Rongxin stepped on extremely heavy steps and said angrily: "Stop laughing at me, do you really think I want to come to your poor place?"
The two seemed to be pushing and shoving for a while, and Fu Guanzi's voice became softer, "Don't lose your temper, you know I just like to tease you, I don't know how happy I am if you can take the initiative to come here."
He Lianrong snorted coldly, and said solemnly after a long time: "Tell me honestly, did something happen during this sacrifice?"
Fu Guanzi said nonchalantly, "Why do you ask that?"
"I've been very disturbed for the past two days, and...I had a dream last night."
"Nightmare?"
"No, it's more terrifying than a nightmare. I dreamed that the tower of offering sacrifices to the gods fell down..." His next words seemed to be covered by Fu Guanzi.
"There is a god when you raise your head three feet, so don't talk nonsense."
"What god? What kind of god is he? The whole Roland knows that Manhatu is a man-eating devil!" He Lianrong said angrily.
Fu Guanzi tried to stop him in a low voice, and blurted out an unfamiliar title, "Chiman, you are drunk, stop talking nonsense!"
"I'm not drunk! These are all facts, I don't believe you don't know! Ah Zi, you were not like this before, why are you becoming... so timid and cowardly now? Look up at the starry sky! It means that our compatriots have lost another one. Do you dare to look into their eyes and swear that you have never doubted Manhatu? Do you say that they disappeared for the sake of Roland's future!"
"Red Barbarian..."
He Lianrong felt unspeakably sad, "You know everything, but you are still willing to be the executioner of Manhattan... The Ah Zi I know is kind and just, not a filthy stream stained with the blood of my compatriots! You are the priest of Baburun Er Desert, shouldering the important task of guarding the people of Roland, Roland is the goshawk soaring nine days, not the doll food of Manhatu! I am fed up with the current cage life, living in death all day long Under the shadow of fear, and will never be able to get out of this yellow desert... I have seen people trying to escape from Roland, but when their footsteps were still in the area of Baburun's ears, their bodies disappeared, like Like crushed sand, one grain at a time... once the wind blows, there will be no living people in a blink of an eye. I have dreamed countless times that I also ended up like them..."
Fu Guanzi said: "I will protect you."
"Does your so-called protection mean sacrificing the lives of my compatriots to let me survive? What about the promise you made to take me to the Central Plains? With Manhatu here, I'm afraid I can't do it in my life? Once we walk out of Roland, we will Turn into sand like the people before... Ah Zi, we will never be able to leave this place."
The backyard fell into dead silence, Ah Jiu picked up the snacks on the table, hesitated for a long time but put them down again.
I don't know how long it took, Fu Guanzi pulled Helian Rongxin to the front yard.
Helian Rongxin was startled when he saw Ah Jiu, and then he said in surprise: "This sacrifice...isn't it already given to Manhatu? Did you find someone to take his place?"
Fu Guanzi said: "His name is Ah Jiu, and he is a guest from the Central Plains. Didn't you dream that the tower of offering sacrifices to the gods fell down last night? That's not a dream, it's real... Ah Jiu knocked down during the battle with Manhatu." The Tower of Sacrifice."
He Lianrong's eyes widened in shock, "Who is he, that Youse can fight Manhatu...and come back safely and intact?"
"He is a descendant of the Chinese Dragon Clan."
"It is said that the spring equinox climbs to the sky, the autumn equinox dives into the abyss, and the holy beast dragon clan that calls the wind and rain?"
"That's right," Fu Guanzi said with a wry smile, "Even he couldn't completely wipe out Manhatu... Just when we thought we had returned to the city victoriously, the tower was restored, and Manhatu seemed like it never existed." It exists as if it has been hit. You said that such a devil with immortality and restoration ability, how should we deal with him?"
Helian Rongxin quickly recovered from the shock, "You mean you want us to continue to suffer? I don't know what's the point of living like a walking dead!"
Fu Guanzi said: "We can still wait..."
"When will we wait? Even the descendants of the Dragon Clan can't destroy Manhatu, what hope do we have to wait? Ah Zi, I feel like I can't go on anymore, and I can't go to your Central Plains appointment anymore."
"Chiman, what do you want to do?" Seeing his resolute face, Fu Guanzi suddenly became nervous.
He Lianrong pulled out the scimitar in his waist in embarrassment, his blue eyes were brightened by the cold sharpness, and his cheeks flushed with excitement, "I'm going to kill Manhatu and avenge those innocent people who died. Didn’t the Tower of Sacrifice fall down once, then it’s possible to fall down a second time! A third time! Even if I can’t hurt him, I will have no regrets in my life!”
Fu Guanzi grabbed the back of his knife, "You are not allowed to do stupid things..."
"Stupid thing?" Helian Rongxin sneered and pushed him away, "Maybe it's like this in your opinion, we've grown up now, we can no longer understand each other like we used to, I don't expect the present The High Priest understands my thoughts."
"Chiman, listen to me..."
"Step aside!"
"If you really want to go, you have to step on my dead body."
The eyes of the two collided fiercely, and sparks were almost flying in the air.
Ah Jiu kept watching in silence with complicated eyes, until He Lian Rongxin put the scimitar on Fu Guanzi's neck, and then suddenly said: "Sorry to disturb you two, Mr. Fu... I may have discovered something strange. Nothing to say."
Fu Guanzi said: "About Manhatu?"
Ah Jiu said cautiously: "It should be related to the whole Roland."
"what's up?"
"Can we talk alone?"
Helian Rongxin immediately dismissed her opinion when she heard the words, "I'm not curious about what you guys are talking about!"
Even though he said so, his body has no intention of leaving.
Fu Guanzi felt at ease, and asked the boy to bring tea to Fu Guanzi, while he and Ah Jiu entered the room.
He was really curious about what this young man had discovered. Since he returned from the tower of offering sacrifices to the gods, his expression was a little strange, and he refused to eat or talk much.
After confirming that there were only two people in the room, Ah Jiu said, "Mr. Fu, I may say some absurd words next, so don't blame me if I offend you."
Seeing his hesitation, Fu Guanzi immediately felt a strong sense of uncertainty in his heart, and said politely: "It's okay, just speak up if you have something to say."
Ah Jiu took a deep breath, "I don't know if you remember what I said a few days ago... that is, in the place where I live, Roland has completely disappeared from the world, and replaced by the mysterious area called the ghost land in the Baburun Er Desert .”
Fu Guanzi will probably never forget this nightmare, his pupils suddenly dilated unconsciously, "Why did you bring this up all of a sudden?"
"After knocking down the Tower of Sacrifice last night, I am sure I have killed Harmantu."
"What?!" Fu Guanzi's face paled instantly, "You said you killed Harmantu?"
Ah Jiu nodded, "But when I ate the corpse as food, it disappeared without a trace."
"So...Hamantu is indeed a true god with an immortal body."
"No," Ah Jiu pursed her lower lip, and said a little jerky, "The answer is just the opposite."
"The opposite answer? What do you mean..."
"Hamantu is dead."
"Ah Jiu, don't make such serious jokes."
"I'm not joking," Ah Jiu's eyes were extremely sincere, and he continued after a pause, "Ever since I came to Roland, I've been thinking about why this place is called the Ghost Realm by the world because of its peacefulness. Tourists who enter by mistake will disappear inexplicably. It was not until this morning that I realized that not only Manhatu, but the entire Roland City... have ceased to exist, although you seem to still be there."
Fu Guanzi's body shook suddenly, as if struck by lightning, "How is this possible... This is impossible..."
Roland, the pearl of the desert, a prosperous resort with thousands of years of civilization, how could it disappear without any reason?
Ah Jiu said again: "As an outsider, I can't even digest your food, and the reappeared Manhatu, he is like an amnesiac who doesn't remember our battle last night at all. If you don't believe it, we Now you can go to him to verify..."
Fu Guanzi clenched his fists for a long time, but slowly let go, and said in a calm tone, "This is impossible. If the Roland people have disappeared, why should I stay here?"
Ah Jiu stared at him with scorching eyes, "I know it sounds ridiculous, but I guarantee that every word is true."
Fu Guanzi laughed, "I didn't say you were lying. It's normal for people to think unbelievably in some special circumstances. It's late at night. I still have something to tell Chi Man, so I won't accompany you. go to bed early."
"Mr. Fu..."
Fu Guanzi raised his hand to stop him, and said seriously: "To avoid misunderstanding, please don't speak to others about what you just said."
Ah Jiu was exhausted from hearing his words, so she couldn't say anything more.
When sleeping in the middle of the night, Ah Jiu vaguely heard the sound of quarreling in the distance, and carefully identified that it seemed that Fu Guanzi and Helian Rongxin were walking around the world.
The relationship between these two people seems really different, it seems that they are more ambiguous than friends but not full of lovers.
Ah Jiu turned over and pillowed her arm, thinking of Wenren Chulai for no reason.It's been a while since I left Qingqiu, I don't know if he is doing well now, and if he will be angry with me when we meet again...
"What's my brother's favorite thing?" "You."
No way, Ah Jiu bit her lower lip hard. What he likes now is the nine-tailed fox!
He tossed and turned until dawn and closed his eyes for a while, but when he woke up, he didn't find Fu Guanzi, including his diligent servant.
At first, I just felt puzzled, but after a long time, I gradually realized that something was wrong, and when I went to Fu Guanzi's room, I saw Helian Rongxin.
Ah Jiu hurriedly untied the person, and He Lianrong tried to rush out before he could settle down. Fortunately, Ah Jiu was helping him in time to avoid falling.
Helian Rongxin suddenly tore off the cloth scarf, grabbed Ah Jiu's shoulders, and said in a panic, "Ah Zi is gone, hurry up and take me to the Tower of Sacrifice!"
Ah Jiu asked unexpectedly, "Where did Mr. Fu go?"
He Lianrong said impatiently: "I couldn't persuade him last night...he said he wanted to find Ha Mantu alone! Aren't you a dragon son, please save Ah Zi!"
"Don't worry, Fu Xian will be fine." Ah Jiu stared at him, took out Fudou from the Qiankun bag, let it change, and the two rode on it.
The sky was a bit dark that day, and Fu Dou traveled through the clouds extremely fast, and brought them to the God Sacrifice Pagoda in a blink of an eye.
Helian Rongxin pulled out the scimitar, and rushed in without any hesitation.Ah Jiu was not in a hurry, and walked slowly on Huodou's back.
The lights in the sacrificial tower were still bright, but the griffins and hamantus were all gone. Only Fu Guanzi stood in front of the tribute platform, with a gloomy expression, not knowing what he was thinking.
After hearing the sound of footsteps, he raised his head, but turned a blind eye to the anxious Helian Rong in front of him, and asked Ah Jiu in a hoarse voice, "This...what the hell is going on?"
Manhatu, whom he had feared for many years, was really vulnerable. Does this mean that Ah Jiu's guesses last night were all true?Everything about Roland is illusory?Ghost Realm Roland...how did Manhatu die?How did Roland disappear?Why does memory have no impression?
Ah Jiu couldn't help him solve the confusion, because he himself was also at a loss. The outside information only vaguely described the glory that this dynasty had once had, and there was no record of the reason for its disappearance.
He fought with Manhatu, and accidentally found countless corpses under the tower, many of them had just been killed.
According to Ah Nazhi's understanding, these so-called sacrifices were not locals, and they were most likely killed because tourists from Babuluner strayed into the ghost realm.
"Why is this happening?" Fu Guanzi muttered to herself, "Chiman, we..."
He suddenly looked at Helian Rongxin, but found that there was nothing in front of him.Helian Rongxin, who was still flustered and anxious just now, disappeared in front of everyone like transparent smoke.
Ah Jiu said: "Manhatu also disappeared that day...Master once said that people are born because of obsession, and if they are unwilling after death, they will forget the fact that they are dead and reappear in the world in the form of undead. Live a peaceful life as usual, and it goes on and on.”
Fu Guanzi whispered: "Chiman is dead, Roland has disappeared... Is Roland now just an illusion formed by my obsession?"
After a long silence, he seemed to have finally walked out of the dark tunnel and saw the light again. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he recalled some very distant and strange images.
At that time, Chiman came to lobby himself, saying that he could no longer bear Manhatu, and had already gathered some people to fight against it at the risk of their lives.
After his persuasion was ineffective, he took people to the Tower of Sacrifice, and never came back.
After receiving the news of Helian Rongxin's death, he finally could no longer live in mediocrity, and decided to confess his actions to the people in the city and expose Manhatu's true face.
Then there was a fierce battle... The Roland people dyed the Babulun Desert red with flesh and blood, overthrew the tower of worshiping the gods, killed countless big monsters under Manhatu, and finally resorted to their own death. The move killed Harmantu...
Fu Guanzi finally remembered that Chiman and himself as the high priest had died many years ago.
The Roland people used tens of thousands of lives to regain their freedom!
No wonder he has been living these years in a trance like a dream, always feeling that the time is too long!
Roland... Roland who has disappeared for 2000 years... he has dreamed of the desert countless times and wanted to go out, but in the end he stayed here forever.
But he didn't regret it. The Roland people didn't rely on external forces, but relied on themselves to kill the invading demons, even though they paid a lot of life for it!
After Chi Man, the Tower of Sacrifice also disappeared, and the sun shone directly on Fu Guanzi, making the halo of his white clothes even more white and dazzling.
Slowly, the distant Roland City also disappeared like a mirage, and the white quicksand stretched infinitely into the distance with gentle wavy curves.
The sky is blue and transparent, without any clouds or stains. The low bushes sway gently with the breeze, and a few weird and lovely creatures pop out from below. It's almost crazy to watch.
For the first time, he discovered that this water- and material-poor desert is so beautiful that it makes people addicted to it!
Ah Jiu could read the mixed emotions of sorrow and joy from his face, and couldn't bear to interrupt it, touched Fu Dou's head and was about to leave, but heard Fu Guanzi say: "Wait, where are you going?"
Yes, although I don't understand why Qiye wanted him to come to Roland, but today it seems that there is no need to stay.
Where are you going next?Back to Qingqiu?Are the brothers still there?How should we continue to get along if we meet Wen Renchu?
Go back to Qingcheng Mountain to find master and senior brother?But what if they asked about their relationship with their brother?
For a moment, he actually felt a sense of loneliness that although the world was big, he had nowhere to go. He was stunned for a long time and couldn't say a word.
Seeing that he was silent, Fu Guanzi said sadly, "I'm leaving too."
"Where is Mr. Fu going?"
"I have killed too many people. The next thing I should do is to go to hell to make amends, but no matter what kind of punishment I suffer, it is my own fault."
Ah Jiu nodded, "The cycle of cause and effect is the way it should be in the world. I haven't figured out where to go yet, and I should go for a walk next time."
Fu Guanzi stuck her hand out of her sleeve, took out a crystal bottle and handed it to Ah Jiu, "This is a relic left by my mother. I can use it to collect leisure time for other purposes. It is said that it was made by a mage in the Central Plains. I will keep it for you as a souvenir."
Collect time?Ah Jiu took it over and looked at it, and saw that there was a faint light green starlight inside, and he liked it very much, but he hesitated when he thought of something.
Fu Guanzi thought that he didn't know about treasures, so she explained: "When this bottle is opened at night, you can collect sleep time. If you are busy the next day, you can take out the saved time and use it."
Only then did Ah Jiu say: "Before, everything I ate at Mr. Fu's place would make me sick to my stomach. I wonder if I can bring this thing out of Babuluner smoothly."
What if it breaks down on the road?This is Mr. Fu's mother's relic.
Hearing what he said, Fu Guanzi also felt embarrassed, hesitated for a moment and said: "This bottle has been stored for many years, it is a pity that it has not been used by my side...You dragons have a slow growth period, and you are still an underage little monster , it’s better to break it up and use it all.”
Ah Jiu also thought it was a good idea, but she didn't know what to do with so much time.
Fu Guanzi seemed to have a plan, held the bottle in his hand with a little force, and the crystal bottle was shattered into bits and pieces of powder. He sprinkled the powder and muttered something, and the fragments formed a crystal door under the sunlight.
After stopping his hand, his face became extremely pale and haggard. Chong Weijiu forced a smile and said: "Don't worry, this bottle has been collecting time for human beings. For the dragon clan, it is just a flick of a finger for thousands of years. I think you are pure and kind-hearted. Contains power but can't use it, I only hope that these spare time can help you grow more."
"Thank you, Mr. Fu." Ah Jiu was about to ride in, but was stopped by Fu Guanzi, "This mount doesn't know how long it will last, so it's better not to enter."
Ah Jiu jumped off Fu Dou's back, took a deep breath and walked into the crystal door formed by the time bottle.
As if a gust of wind whizzed past his face, Ah Jiu couldn't control his body and unconsciously transformed into a prototype. A stream of heat surged in his body and rushed to his limbs. He held his breath and let out a long roar, which made his heart feel comfortable. some.
After it calmed down, it looked back, and found that Fu Guanzi and the door had disappeared, only Fudou squatted on the ground and looked at him in amazement, presumably frightened by the roar.
Looking at the endless desert, Ah Jiu couldn't help thinking of the desert city in the bustling illusion, and couldn't tell what it was like for a while.
From now on, here will be the quiet Baburon, and there will be no more so-called ghost land Roland...
It is very comfortable to step on the soft desert with paws, and Ah Jiu doesn't want to change back to human form for the time being.
It walked slowly, and Fudou followed carefully. After a while, Ah Jiu realized that his body seemed to be more than a little bigger. No wonder Fudou was a little timid towards him.
The former Babuluner is now renamed as the Maoyan Desert, which is popular and vivid. The nearest residential area in the Maoyan Desert is Baizhou City.
However, the current Baizhou City is no longer the Baizhou City that Ah Jiu saw a few days ago. At that time, although the buildings in the city were dilapidated, they were still neat and clean, but now there are broken bricks and tiles everywhere, and none of them are intact. Live, including Tianbao Gandian.
The houses were all crooked and collapsed, and the Tianbao flowers in the yard were shaken to pieces. The situation was miserable like a strong wind passing through.
Seeing Ah Jiu come back, several students were very happy, and they rushed to ask him what happened in the past few days. The medicine jar didn't say anything, but silently took out some food for him to eat.
Ah Jiu asked what happened in the city, but no one knew. Some said it was an earthquake, some said it was a hurricane, but it was only for a moment, and no one could see clearly the result.
One of the girls suddenly stared at his face and said, "Ah Jiu, why do I think you've changed?"
Ah Jiu bit the bread and was stunned, "What changed?"
"It seems to have grown up suddenly, with a sharper chin and a straighter nose..."
"Yeah." Ah Jiu responded vaguely, neither refuting nor explaining.
In Jiangcheng Dingsheng Company, someone quietly pushed open the door of the boss's office, "Master Bai...you should have felt the voice from Maoyan Desert in the morning, right?"
Bai Ze raised his eyelids slightly, and Jun asked with a blank expression, "What's wrong?"
The man said excitedly: "News came out on the Internet, saying that the entire building of Baizhou City was damaged because of this..."
"Are there any human casualties?"
"It's not like Demon Walking the World."
Bai Ze continued to bury his head in his work, "Understood, you can go out."
"Can you reveal some news, when did such a powerful little monster appear in our demon world? I thought that in the new generation, the kitten fox born by Jiuwei and Jinhua Mao was the most talented."
"Have you finished the cost report for this quarter?"
"A little bit more..."
"Give it to me in 2 minutes."
"Don't wow... I'll go right away!"
The man rushed out the door in a hurry, no longer in the mood to gossip.
After he left, Bai Ze raised his head, "Maohu, Riji, Taotie... It seems that it's time to rearrange the hundred demon list."
At night, Ah Jiu was lying in the coolness of the open air and counting the stars, and the medicine jar came over with the wine bottle in hand, "Do you want a drink or two?"
Ah Jiu quickly sat up, "I don't know how to drink..."
But the medicine jar said: "You are not a child now, it doesn't matter if a man drinks some wine."
Ah Jiu was moved by what he said, and immediately took two sips from the cup, only to realize that it was not a strong wine, but a fruit wine with a grape aroma, sweet and lingering aftertaste.
"I'm very happy today," Yao Guanzi blushed a little, as if he was talking to himself, "because something happened in Baizhou City that could attract the attention of the world...even though we paid all our houses for it. There are young people He came back and said he was going to take us to rebuild our homeland."
Although Ah Jiu didn't spend much time in the city, she also knew that the people staying here were old, weak, women and Confucianism. There were very few young people. Compared with the flowery city outside, the dry and barren desert was not attractive at all. A lot of people want to get out and try to stay there.
As a result, the population of Baizhou City became smaller and smaller, poorer and poorer, and more and more like an empty city.
Yao Guanzi continued: "Several students who live here also said... they will come to the school to teach during the holidays, let the children read and write, and some people say that they will stay here in the future because they like the air and blue sky here... Ah Nine, do you like it here?"
"I like it, the people here are nice, and the fruits are extra sweet."
The medicine jar lowered its mouth, and its ugly face looked a little ugly, "Then if you have time in the future... come here and have a look, I believe it won't be long before this place will look different, just like the old Roland That way... Roland has not disappeared, it is with the Baburun Er Desert, it will remain unchanged for thousands of years, as long as we are still alive, we will rebuild a beautiful homeland, right?"
Ah Jiu Qing said, "White Boat City will be better than Roland, because there is no Manhatu here."
The medicine jar drank the wine in the jar, and the voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, "Ah Jiu, can you take me to the Fool's Inn?"
"The Fool's Inn?" Ah Jiu immediately became alcoholic, "You know I have a Fool's Inn?"
"Yes, many people know about it now." Yao Guanzi said disapprovingly, "I don't have the luck to taste the legendary bright delicacy that can satisfy all human wishes?"
"What do you wish for?"
"I want to find someone..."
"Who?"
"Helian Rong Xin."
Ah Jiu was silent for a long time, and then said: "The rule of the Fool's Inn is to exchange one thing for another. If you want to eat bright food, you have to exchange something from your body with me."
