[Xiu Xian] The ninth generation

"Have you heard about that incident?" A monk at the next table asked his companion.Although he lowered his voice, judging from the fact that the entire restaurant is full of practitioners, almost everyone heard this question and cast their gazes at this place with interest or indifference.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, one of the companions raised his eyebrows, neither lowered his voice nor used the technique of sound transmission: "You mean, the lost city?"

The former monk smiled slightly, pretending to be mysterious and said: "Your Wang Daoyou is right, it is the legendary lost city, which will be opened soon."

"What? The Lost City? Did I hear you right?"

"The Lost City? Isn't that already lost in history?"

"I heard that there was a change in the east of the city, but it was controlled by several big families with heavy troops. Could it be..."

"Ah, I've heard about this too. But didn't it mean that the powerful monks were invited to build it overnight to defend against demons?"

"Fellow Daoist, do you believe this kind of nonsense? According to me..."

……

All of a sudden, various discussions arose, embellishing the atmosphere of the scene vigorously.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, the original monk said, "Fellow Daoists, fellow Daoists, please listen to my words."

As soon as these words came out, everyone gave face and fell silent for a while, waiting for him to speak.Seeing that he had successfully attracted everyone's attention, the monk glanced around triumphantly and cleared his throat: "My brother is one of the personal guards of the Luo family heir, and I heard it from the heir. The news about the city is absolutely true, and I dare not lie. The heir said that five days later, when the first ray of sunlight shines on the lost city in the morning, the gate of the city will be opened, and all the families will jointly explore the city."

"So, the Lost City is located on the floating island that suddenly appeared in the east of the city?" A monk in the crowd couldn't help but speak.

The monk was not annoyed, and replied with a smile: "Exactly. Didn't you see that many people from other families came to Liuyu City in the past few days? Naturally, they all came for the lost city."

"I heard something vaguely before." Suddenly, the female cultivator who had been buried in the food and drink a few tables away raised her head, her voice was cold, "It is said that the reason why the demon attacked the Tiansheng Continent is because of this It is related to the Lost City. Now that I finally found out the location, the natural firepower is concentrated in the territory of the Luo family—especially this Liucheng City.” She considered for a while, and finally added: "I heard that there is some amazing magic weapon in it. .”

"Magic weapon? True or false?"

"No wonder so many families have gathered in Liuyu City! There are heavy troops guarding around the floating island, and they will be scolded for even taking a step closer!"

"Even the devil who is doing evil wants to get... what is it? After five days, I have to explore it!"

"Yes! After five days, I have to go and find out!"

"That's right! Go and see! Maybe...hehe."

……

Chu Yanzhi was sitting by the window, holding a wine glass in his hand, looking out of the window with a cold expression. Hearing the lively condemnation and determination in the restaurant at the moment, he finally turned his head to look at everyone.A group of people are filled with righteous indignation, a group of people are thoughtful, and a group of people look gloomy, all of them are different.

"Fellow daoists, why don't we keep this secret first, so as not to scare the snakes." The original monk stood up again and suggested loudly, "When the day dawns five days later, we will gather together in the Lost City and ask to share with those Wouldn’t it be better for the family to explore together?”

A lost city that even the devil has a plan for...?

Chu Yanzhi's heart moved, and the finger rubbing the wine glass paused slightly: No matter it is true or deliberately incited, it is worth going to take a look five days later.

Here, the female cultivator pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "What this fellow Taoist said is true. Only by working together, can we enter the city."

"Thanks to the reminder from Fellow Daoist, we will act in five days!"

"Okay! Just do it!"

……

"What? After five days, all monks from all over the world will be invited to explore the lost city in the east of the city together?"

Fen Zhouyu, the heir of the Fen family, slammed the table and looked at Luo Tiancheng who made this suggestion with a look of incredulity.Seeing that Fen Zhouyu was so excited, Luo Tiancheng just smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly: "Exactly, the news about this lost city can't be hidden." After speaking, he shifted his gaze to Chu Zixuan's direction, with a smile on his face: "Chu Zixuan, what do you think?"

Chu Zixuan, who was named, frowned imperceptibly. At this time, it was the fourth day after Chu Zixuan received the invitation order. He and other family members were discussing important matters about the devil in the Luo family mansion.I don't know if it was an agreement made by the older generation of the family, but almost all the heirs attended the meeting, including Luo Yuancheng, the heir of the Luo family.As for the latter pointing the finger at him, there is nothing to doubt, they have always been like this.It’s just that for some reason, the recent Luo Yuancheng, especially today, always gives him an increasingly weird feeling, incomprehensible, incomprehensible, and even a sense of powerlessness that all temptations are punched in the cotton... Situation He didn't like the feeling of being out of control.

Soon, the usual cynical smile appeared on Chu Zixuan's face: "Luo Yuancheng, we smart people don't use secret words. Tell me, those rumors outside must be your masterpiece, right?"

"Happy!" Luo Yuancheng clapped his hands and laughed, without denying it at all, "Aside from the Luo family as the host, which other family or force can spread the news of the Lost City so quickly?"

"Why?" Hearing this, the third prince of the imperial capital who was sitting at the top showed disapproval, "Patriarch of the Luo family, I think you owe us an explanation?"

"This... this matter..." The Patriarch of the Luo family showed embarrassment.On the contrary, Luo Tiancheng said frankly: "This matter is entirely my idea. Although the family has agreed, the specific implementation has nothing to do with them."

"Oh?"

Chu Zixuan glanced at Luo Yuancheng, lowered his eyebrows lightly, and felt that the sense of disobedience was getting stronger and stronger.In his memory, Luo Yuancheng was not the kind of person who took the lead in everything and took all responsibility and troubles on himself.After thinking about it for a long time, I had no idea, so I could only wait and see what happened.

Facing everyone's questions, Luo Yuancheng smiled confidently, and first cupped his hands in the direction of the third prince: "Third prince, this time the emperor will set the place for this discussion in the territory of my Luo family. The reason must be that Liu Yucheng is a devil." Where are the most frequent attacks and the heaviest losses?"

"Indeed—" the third prince wanted to continue, but Luo Yuancheng stopped him: "The most important reason is probably because the gap in the demon world is near Liuyu City!"

"How did you know?!" The third prince couldn't believe it.

The news that the gap in the devil world is near Liuyu City is the result of divination by the most prestigious fortune-teller in the imperial capital who spent more than half a month a few days ago.As we all know, the emperor is a sacred place for fortune-tellers, and it is also the place where the way of fortune-telling flourishes.Together, fortune tellers are divided into three levels: elementary, middle, and high. It takes countless years to advance to each level, and talent is extremely important.Divination Divination, predicting the future, is extremely against the harmony of heaven, so every time the fortune-teller spends a lot of karma, and eventually dies due to karma.If there is that luck that coincides with the way of heaven and succeeds in being promoted, he will live the same life as the sky, but he refuses to reveal the secret of heaven easily.Therefore, the higher the level of fortune-teller, the harder it is to train and recruit.Therefore, if other families want to know the future, most of them come to the imperial capital to ask for it, and it must cost a huge price.

Moreover, if it weren't for the crisis of everyone in the mainland this time, the few high-level fortune-tellers in the imperial capital would not join hands to take over the cause and effect.However, it took more than half a month to find out that the key lies in the gap in the depths of the Lost City.Now this Luo Tiancheng has revealed the truth with one word, could it be...Thinking of this, the third prince's eyes flickered, and his eyes were full of indistinct obscurities.

Naturally, Luo Yuancheng saw the change in the third prince's expression, but he still didn't change his face, and said: "Don't worry, third prince, this news has nothing to do with divination. I captured a high-ranking demon before, and used some The means of questioning came out, and it was said that the places of entry and exit were all in the depths of the lost city. Moreover, the arrival of the lost city was unclear, and the timing was almost the same as the time of the devil's attack. No matter how I thought about it, I felt suspicious. It was just a test, but the Third Prince gave an affirmative answer."

"So that's how it scared me." Situ Lan let out a long laugh, "I thought, Yuan Cheng, when did you become so powerful that you could pass through the future. But this method of asking for information should also be very convenient. Awesome! My family also captured some demons before, and before they were tortured, they all bit their tongues and died, which made people very angry."

"Yes, yes, the Luo family is really well hidden."

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a skill!"

"Congratulations to the head of the Luo family, the family succession is expected!"

……

Situ Lan's words gave everyone a step forward. After a moment of astonishment, everyone smiled and congratulated.As for the sincerity in these words, anyone can figure it out.

"The devil world?" Chu Zixuan snorted coldly, grasping the point of Luo Yuancheng's words, "That is to say, this devil came from a foreign land?"

This cold snort seemed to pull back the third prince of Huangshen, who softened his gloomy expression a little: "That's right. According to the great fortune teller Mo Yuan, those who call themselves demons are not from the realm of comprehension." A person who is not a human being, but a person who came from the demon world to the cultivation world through the gap between the world and the world. He is good at fighting, good at blood, and easy to anger."

"It's no wonder that the cultivation technique is so different from the cultivation world, and it's full of evil spirit!" Everyone was stunned.

"Now that the goal has been clarified, everyone must agree with my previous plan?" Luo Yuancheng interjected in a timely manner, "Only by muddying the water can we find out the hiding place of the devil. In addition, based on our family's If you want to explore or even seal the gap, it is far from enough! Moreover, at critical moments, those casual practitioners can be used as cannon fodder... Hey."

Hearing the word "cannon fodder" and thinking of the possible crisis in the Lost City, everyone finally fell silent, acquiescing to Luo Yuancheng's suggestion.
