Chapter 589 Reason
Shang Tianti broke down and cried, not because he had a deep relationship with Lu Ye, but because he suddenly saw an "old friend" and felt sad about his own experience, which he couldn't help but feel.
Lu Ye can guess one or two reasons.
Nowadays, I can more clearly perceive the state of Shang Tianti with my spiritual consciousness at close range. I can only say that it is not good, very bad.
When Shang Tianti and Mo Ruyan tried to ambush Lu Ye in the Mo Zhu Secret Realm, Lu Ye plotted against them and led them to fight against each other, resulting in their respective arms and body being broken.
Among them, Shang Tianti lost his right arm, and Mo Ruyan lost both legs. Both of them were injured, and the physical damage was secondary. One of the two relied on the power of the Yuanying magic weapon Lingyun Sword, and the other used the strange and domineering magic skills to attack. Sharp.
In the end, both sides suffered losses, their Dao foundation was damaged, and there was almost no hope of breaking through the Nascent Soul.
Mo Ruyan sought refuge with Hong and the Crown Prince of the Evil God, and by stealing the Blood Crystal of the Evil God, he luckily completed the Tao Foundation and was promoted to Nascent Soul with difficulty.
Shang Tianti does not have such a good fortune. He has always been a little transparent at the bottom of the Dragon Seizing League. He has not been able to be promoted to Nascent Soul because his Dao Foundation was damaged before.
In the human world, he has stopped at the golden elixir Dzogchen realm.
However, it seems to Lu Ye now that Shang Tianti's cultivation level has dropped significantly, and he has been dropped to several small levels in a row. Now he can barely hang around at the first level of Jindan. Maybe he will fall to the foundation building level if he is injured again. .
Cultivation is one aspect.
On the other hand, Shang Tianti was also in poor physical condition. His hair was gray, his face was dusty, his eyes were wrinkled, his hands and feet had rough skin, and his back was hunched.
More importantly, his eyes were no longer firm and clear, but cloudy and dull, full of hesitation, hesitation, despair and helplessness, and a bit dull and demented.
He doesn't look like a monk, but like a poor man crushed by the burden of life.
You must know that Shang Tianti was originally a handsome man. His ability surpassed his peers and became the undoubted candidate for the next head of the Lingyun Sect, and he also won the favor of Qi Fangfang, first by his strength and second by his demeanor.
Where can I still see a trace of his chic demeanor today?
Even when he was working as a calamity cultivator, he was not even one-tenth as embarrassed as he is now.
Lu Zhiyi murmured in his mind... What happened to Shang Tianti?
Why does it feel more miserable than when I imprisoned him in the Mozhu Secret Realm for decades?
The two looked at each other with complicated expressions, and many things went through their minds in an instant.
The surrounding villagers, men and women, were kneeling on the ground shivering. Seeing that the new adult and the village chief were old acquaintances, their faces immediately lit up with joy. Then they saw the village chief collapse and cry, shouting about "Visitors from hometown, fifty years." Everyone showed confused expressions again.
Shang Tianti cried a few times to vent his sorrow, then suddenly jumped up, he didn't even bother to look at the crying, he grabbed Lu Ye and said anxiously.
"Fellow Daoist Lu... no, Island Master Lu, Senior Lu."
"We will talk about some things later. We must not let go of a demon clan now!"
"Otherwise it will bring disaster to the village!"
"Hurry and stop them! Don't let them run away to report the news!"
Lu Ye laughed, held hands with Shang Tian Ladder, and went straight to the sky, overlooking the earth.
But with the village as the center, a group of demon deserters were running away in a hurry. However, they seemed to be followed by an invisible god of death, and the sickles kept harvesting. Many demon clans fell down with their heads in different places during the escape without saying a word, and bloomed on the ground. The lamp blooms with enchanting blood flowers.
Shang Tianti was stunned. He stayed in the sky for only half a cup of tea. He watched helplessly as all the monster soldiers fell down and died, and none of them could escape.
The furthest demon clan could only escape a few miles.
Whoosh...
A sharp whistling sound came from the ground and flew past his cheek.
Shang Tianti didn't even see what it was.
Swish swish...
There was only a hint of something in his consciousness, and he felt that there seemed to be an invisible sharp weapon spinning around him, and there was no trace of hostility.
If this thing hadn't made any noise intentionally, and because it had just slaughtered so many monsters, it was stained with too much bloody and violent energy, Shang Tianti would not have been able to sense the opponent's existence at all.
"Invisible sword!"
Shang Tianti's expression changed. When he saw Lu Ye stretching out his palm, his palm sank, and then the frightening and dangerous feeling around him disappeared.
Mo Ruyan later joined the Dragon Seizing Alliance and made peace with Shang Tianti under the auspices of Dujiang Gu Zun and Qianmian Judge.
On the surface, the two laughed away their grudges, and naturally exchanged a lot of information.
Shang Tianti knows.
Lu Ye, a disciple of the Demon Sect created by Mo Ruyan.
It was mediocre at first, but gradually rose to prominence.
It is suspected that the true form of Lan He Taoist in Mo Zhu's secret realm has an invisible sword with a secret move, which may have caused him to fight with Mo Ru Yanhuo in the first place.
Countless thoughts flashed through Shang Tianti's mind. He turned to face Lu Ye with an expression that was half-smiling but not smiling. He shuddered in his heart and immediately all unnecessary thoughts disappeared. He could only lower his head and say that the senior's swordsmanship is superb and the junior admires it.
What a joke.
Even if Lu Ye is really his enemy, and the other party is Nascent Soul Daxiu, and he is just a fallen Jindan, if he wants to survive, he may have to rely more on him in the future.
Seeing Shang Tianti surrender, Lu Ye laughed and pulled him down from the air.
Shang Tianti apologized and asked the junior to take a cup of tea and take care of the village affairs. Then the senior only asked questions, and the junior told him everything he knew, and he never concealed anything.
Lu Ye nodded, a cup of tea was nothing.
However, he still used secret techniques to spread his consciousness unconsciously, and paid close attention to the movements of Shang Tianti and the surrounding villagers.
Shang Tianti left in a hurry and called several village leaders, some of whom were assigned to rescue the dead and injured, and properly place the dead and injured in the village.
Some were sent to deal with the corpses of the dead monsters, and they could not be allowed to be exposed in the wilderness, or they would cause trouble.
Some villagers were sent to excavate collapsed buildings and buildings in the village to see if there were any surviving villagers.
Fortunately, although these villagers were bullied by the monsters just now, they were not really helpless mortals. This was a village formed purely by warriors, but they were weak against the monsters with magical powers.
Many villagers were arranged in an orderly manner by Shang Tianti. It happened that the tea time had passed, and Shang Tianti returned to Lu Ye.
"Senior...please, let's talk over there."
In the original ruined wooden house, the villagers have cleared a clean area, found two woven futons that are neither round nor square, and presented a wooden pot and two small bowls as hospitality items. Tea.
With the corners of Lu Ye's eyes twitching, he looked around, feeling the surge of spiritual energy and the rich products in the surrounding mountains.
He frowned.
"Shangtian Ladder, where is this place? Why is the spiritual energy so strong?"
"You occupy such a precious land, why are you the only monk in the village?"
"Also, your life is so cramped and miserable, right?"
"Then what is the origin of the White Tiger Demon King? He dares to treat my human race as a two-legged sheep and a lowly race. Isn't this too presumptuous?"
Shang Tianti smiled bitterly, sighed, and then spoke in detail.
"Senior Lu... If I hadn't experienced this myself, I would have felt like I was dreaming."
"Now, more than 20,000 years have passed since our era. I guess it is the end of ancient times."
"The demon clan is respected on the earth and rules hundreds of tribes. The demon clan is just a large force among them. It occupies the western part of the earth, well, it is Xihezhou... It is also the name of this continent here."
"As for our human race, we are not considered a force among hundreds of races. We are considered a vassal force under the demon clan. We spread the land with the demon clan, pay taxes, and are treated as blood bags and meals for the demon clan master. We are regarded as two-legged sheep. . "The White Tiger Demon King is one of the three lords of the Shiwanda Mountain, and he has thirty-one ethnic villages under his command."
"As you can see, this village has a population of thousands, and it can be considered one of the villages. As for why I am the only monk in the village...it's hard to explain."
"Also, senior, by today's standards, this place is actually just a poor and remote place. It is not a spiritually rich place at all."
"Real monks regard this place as a spiritual desert, and they don't even want to stay longer."
Lu Ye listened for a moment, and even though he had already guessed, his head felt buzzing.
"As for why there are no monks in the village."
Shang Tianti smiled bitterly.
"That's because there are smart and wise people among the demon clan..."
Shang Tianti said that the Yao Clan implemented a system of promotion in this era.
On weekdays, they suppressed the human race in every possible way, arbitrarily extorted, tortured and killed them, treating them as meat and grass that would grow on their own, cutting them off again and again.
But in terms of the system, they patrolled the human villages under their control from time to time. If they found children with spiritual roots, they would snatch them away early and teach them demonic methods. Demonic patterns would be carved on their heads to represent the demon clan's favor.
Once you become a dependent, you are regarded as a member of the demon clan. This system is called promotion.
It goes without saying who these human race immortal cultivators, who have been trained by the demon clan since childhood, tend to be.
However, in human villages, there are seeds of cultivating immortals, but they cannot keep them. On the other hand, after a few decades, these seeds of cultivating immortals that were taken away will return after spending decades in the demon clan, regardless of the so-called fraternity.
They have been brainwashed and assimilated by the demon clan, and have violent and bloody personalities. They show no mercy to their fellow humans, and their methods are even crueler than those of the demon clan.
Therefore, except for Shang Tianti, there are no native monks in the entire village.
Just now, when Lu Ye appeared on the scene, Yuanying Cultivator killed all the Jindan demons and fell from the sky, making the villagers tremble. They all regarded him as a dependent of other powerful upper-level demons.
Lu Ye's expression changed after hearing this.
I lamented that it is not easy to survive in today's world, but I was also surprised by the bizarre encounters I encountered as a monk on the ladder to heaven.
Even though he had made some guesses when he traveled up the river of time, he was still shocked when he heard Shang Tianti speak with his own ears.
Shang Tianti and him actually went back in time and returned to the end of ancient times more than 20,000 years ago!
Divided according to the view of human history.
The human world is divided into the ancient barbaric period, when hundreds of tribes competed for hegemony; the ancient demon tribe ruled the earth, killing and expelling hundreds of tribes; the medieval demon tribe took advantage of the situation, overthrew the demon tribe's rule, and unified the earth; in the modern period, the human race rose up and removed the demon tribe from its position of dominance. He kicked him down and became the lord of this world, ruling for nearly ten thousand years.
According to the records of the human world, hundreds of tribes were in chaos in the ancient times, the demon tribe was strong in the ancient times, the demon tribe dominated in the middle ages, and the human tribes rose in the modern times. Each dominated the history for about ten thousand years, and successively became the overlord of the sky and the earth.
Shang Tianti said that at the end of ancient times, the demon clan ruled the earth. The demon clan had become a vassal and flourished, while other clans were weak, but they still survived in this land.
The Demon Clan’s rule is also riddled with holes and is on the verge of collapse. It may only take a few decades, hundreds, or thousands of years for the Demon Clan to ruthlessly sweep it into the garbage heap of history, just as the Demon Clan’s previous defeat against the Winged Clan and others The clan is ordinary.
And I regard this land as a treasure land for cultivation, but I didn't expect that according to the standards of this era, it is actually considered a remote place.
Lu Ye's face looked uncertain.
This damn sundial mark actually exiled me more than 20,000 years ago!
Huh?
When I was in the long river of time and space, I managed to escape by relying on the shelter of the small boat transformed from the Immortal Spiritual Sutra, the unknown sea god needle given by Princess Longfu, and most importantly, the absolute realm of the sundial mark.
Shang Tian Ladder is only a golden elixir monk, how can he cross the river smoothly and reach this world? Shouldn't he die in the river?
Lu Ye hurriedly asked Shang Tianti his questions.
Shang Tianti replied with a confused look, "Senior, during the battle that day, we were all enveloped by the strange spiritual treasure of the two-winged demon clan."
Later, Senior Qian Mian escaped with me on his back. One moment everything was fine, but the next moment my eyes darkened and I realized I was being sucked into a rolling Yangtze River with no end or end in sight.
I was stunned for just a moment. When I opened my eyes again, the world was spinning and I fell from the sky to this world. Is the river I saw before an illusion?
Fortunately, it fell in this human tribe. If it fell on some demon king's dinner plate, you might not be able to see me...
After I recovered from my injuries in this tribe, I was shocked to hear that the demons were dancing outside. I had damaged the Dao Jindan human race in a small way, so naturally I didn't dare to go in.
Because I had nowhere to go, I stayed there. As the years passed and decades passed, it turned out that the old clan leader passed away, and I was elected as the new clan leader because of my cultivation.
I have never exposed my cultivation, but the girl just now was the only flesh and blood of the old patriarch. I did something stupid and exposed my skills when my brain got hot.
Shang Tianti has been trapped for fifty years, but his story is short.
Lu Ye frowned after hearing this.
That's not right, Shang Tianti's eyes were so short that he thought the long river of time and space he saw was an illusion.
Then why did I stay in the river of time and space for so long?
Could it be that he was forced to stand in the river because he resisted the sundial mark for too long? Otherwise, why would Shang Tianlai be done as soon as he enters and exits?
He thought for a few breaths and couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it.
When he thought that everything happened because of the sundial mark, he hurriedly looked up at Shang Tianti, only to find that there was no sundial projection mark on his head.
Lu Ye used the Water Mirror Technique to shine at himself again, his face turned dark.
But above his head, the shadow of the sundial was still there, and the clearing dial needle had left its original position at some point.
Then it clicked like a broken watch pin, one step forward and one step back, and it was stuck in place.
Bad news, the sundial mark is still there.
The good news is that the projection of the dial needle above is finally no longer reset and has reversed to its original position.
Lu Ye didn't want to think too much, he just thought about how to survive in this era.
He stood up and looked at the busy villagers around him, and asked Shang Tianti if there would be any trouble since so many monsters had died under the command of the White Tiger Demon Emperor.
How about you point me to the location, and I'll sneak down at night and chop off the white tiger's head with a sword, so that you can never have any future troubles?
Shang Tianti shook his head hurriedly after hearing this.
The White Tiger Demon King is considered to be a very weak one among the demon clan. He is a lazy Nascent Soul who spends his days in a state of intoxication and likes to keep and eat beautiful men.
Her subordinate Jin Dan died, and we didn’t leave anyone alive to report it. She would only think that he died in the fighting of other cross-border demon clans, and would not suspect us, the weak humans.
For now, we're pretty safe.
It is better to do less than to do more, and be careful of twists and turns.
Shang Tianti looked at Lu Ye eagerly.
"It's a troubled world with demons and monsters outside. It's not safe. I wonder if you'd like to think about where to go next?"
"Senior Lu, I have a suggestion that should be said or not."
Luye waved his hand generously and said to you.
Shang Tianti mustered up his courage and bowed to the ground.
"Senior Lu!"
"You have high cultivation level and strong ability."
"The younger generation is willing to step down and make way for a more talented person. How about asking you to be the leader of the clan?"
Lu Ye: "???"
