Chapter 479 Bad luck and prison
The young man had an orchid on his head, a pair of swords hanging on his waist, and was dressed in white as he crossed the river.
——Li Chengfeng.
At this moment, Wu Xiaode changed his identity and turned into Li Chengfeng again, arriving at the era of demon tribulation and annihilation of the world.
Seeing Shen Xiujun continue to feel deflated, he gradually felt relieved.
Now that Zhao Junyu had taken control of the situation, he returned to this era and came to look for the next "Tomb of the Laws" deck.
The female God of Death once left a message to herself——
"I saw the broken vitality attached to this card..."
"If you can find all the 'Tomb of the Laws' deck without being taken away by the Robbers, then we have a real glimmer of hope."
I already have a "Star of Eternal Night".
Next, it’s time to find the next card in the deck.
The ferry docked.
The young man followed everyone off the boat and walked slowly towards the lively city ahead.
The men, women, old and young he met along the way were in ragged clothes and disheveled faces. Wu Xiaode looked at them carefully and saw that they all looked panicked and walked fast.
The direction everyone is heading towards is the city in front of them.
Wu Xiaode followed the stream and soon arrived near the city gate.
I saw two rows of human soldiers holding swords and wearing armors guarding the city gate, and two young men wearing Taoist robes stood in the crowd.
A soldier kept shouting:
"Civilians enter the city directly! Those who are proficient in martial arts register here, receive money, food, soldiers, armor, cards in the city, and preferential treatment."
Wu Xiaode looked at the soldiers and saw that they were nervous and holding a kind of magic plate, aiming it at every common person.
The Dharma plate kept making "buzz" and "buzz" sounds.
Whenever the dharma plate was sounded, the soldiers would get out of the way and let the people in front of them enter the city.
From this point of view, the Dharma plate should be an identification tool.
Another strong man came directly to the two young men in Taoist robes and talked about his skills.
While talking, he also put on a posture and used some punches.
After the big man punched, he looked towards the two Taoist priests.
The Taoist priest shook his head, pointed to the city gate, and motioned for him to enter the city directly.
——This is to treat him as an ordinary person.
The big man showed a sad expression, turned around and walked towards the city gate.
Wu Xiaode said to himself: "This city is still recruiting people everywhere...and for what purpose?"
Suddenly someone answered:
"After all the powerful people on the human race died, a city was slaughtered by the Qilin monster, and other vicious guys were born one after another. Of course everyone was nervous."
Wu Xiaode turned his head and looked.
I saw an old man holding a bamboo stick squatting in a hut set up by the road.
There is a piece of paper in front of the old man, which says:
"Ask about the bad luck of the four seasons, and predict the good and bad fortune of the day and night."
——It turned out to be a fortune teller.
Wu Xiaode nodded at him and started to walk towards the city gate.
The old man suddenly spoke again:
"That boy with the flowers on his hair, you can't go to this city."
Wu Xiaode stopped, raised his hands and asked, "Why can't I go?"
The old man pointed at the paper on the ground with a stick and said with a smile:
"The old man also wants to eat. Just bring me the money and I will show you a clear way."
Wu Xiaode was a little amused, shook his head, and walked forward.
Just after taking a few steps, the old man's dissatisfied grunting reached his ears again:
"There are so many gold bricks on my body, but they are only used to treat injuries and illnesses, and I am not willing to use them to give the old man a full meal."
Wu Xiaode paused again.
The white clothes he wore belonged to Li Chengfeng, and there weren't even any pockets on him.
Only the Ring of the Holy Treasure contains a batch of gold bricks——
It was prepared for Ulysses, so that he could put it on his head at any time during battle and use healing techniques to save himself.
How does this old man know?
Wu Xiaode simply walked back, squatted down in front of the old man, and asked:
"How many do you want?"
The old man smiled, showing his yellow teeth, stretched out three fingers and said:
"Bring out all three thousand gold bricks."
Wu Xiaode was silent.
I did prepare a full three thousand gold bricks.
"You are pretty good at what you do. How did you calculate this number?"
Wu Xiaode asked.
"As long as I count the things in this world, there is nothing I don't know." The old man said proudly.
"If you have the ability, why don't you go to the city gate and talk to the two Taoists to get some money and rice for your enjoyment?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"That won't work."
The old man's eyes suddenly became sharp and he lowered his voice and said: "All living beings are trapped here. In fact, everyone's fate is determined. No one can save them - the only one who has hope is you, kid."
"Why?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"Bring me three thousand gold bricks, I'll tell you right now." The old man stared at him.
Wu Xiaode reached out and touched the ring.
As soon as the three thousand gold bricks were taken out, they disappeared in an instant.
Looking at the old man again, he couldn't even hide the joy on his face.
"Can we talk now?"
Wu Xiaode asked angrily.
"Okay, okay - let me tell you this, your boy's bones are amazing, and there is a spiritual light emerging from the Tianling Cap. It is really incredible. You have a little more hope than all living beings." The old man said.
"Three thousand gold bricks, is this your answer?"
Wu Xiaode asked with drooped eyelids.
Money is a small thing.
If you have the ability to do things with money, I have nothing to say.
But if you want to take money and do nothing, and then you lie to me, then I won't obey you.
Wu Xiaode stretched out his hand and gently pressed it on the handle of the knife at his waist, with a half-smile appearing on his lips.
The old man saw it and kept saying:
"Brother, don't be so angry. I haven't finished speaking yet."
"Please give me some advice." Wu Xiaode said.
The old man swallowed and explained slowly:
"The reason why we fortune tellers can tell the blessings and misfortunes of all living beings is because we use the horoscopes to calculate the initial composition of the human body——"
"To put it in a way you can understand, the horoscope is the factory setting of the human body."
"As soon as you look at the factory settings and know how the seven emotions and six desires of this body are composed and how they influence destiny, you can make a decision - is this simple?"
"Your metaphor is interesting. If you put it this way, the body is the prison of the soul." Wu Xiaode joked with a smile.
There was some solemnity in his eyes.
——The old man's words reminded me of "prison of sin".
Probably not a liar.
"You continue talking." Wu Xiaode said with cupped hands.
When the old man saw him release his hand from the sword, he took a breath, shook his legs triumphantly and said:
"Did you die once, right? Your factory settings have been wiped clean, but you are still alive. This gives you a chance to break free from the prison and jump out of the three realms."
"Why can't I enter the city?" Wu Xiaode asked bluntly.
The old man chuckled and lowered his voice:
"Because people have this body, they have misfortunes and blessings; in this world, there are also unpredictable events."
"The world..." Wu Xiaode pondered for a moment and said, "Does it mean immeasurable catastrophes?"
"Clever! People have their own prisons, and so does the world. It's fair." The old man praised him.
Wu Xiaode fell into deep thought.
The old man looked at him and continued:
"The reason why you were able to get a card was because you were at loggerheads with the first Tribulation Demon. This gave the Laws hope."
"But if you haven't defeated the first tribulation demon and want to get the second card, you will definitely be discovered by other tribulation demons, and the rules can't help you."
"When the time comes, huh, if the robbers work together, do you think you can defeat many by one?"
Wu Xiaode's expression condensed and he turned to look at the city ahead.
This time, for some reason, he suddenly felt a little chill in his heart.
"Are you here specifically to give me some advice?"
he asked.
The old man suddenly said with a sad face: "Who told you to learn that trick? I have to try it."
"Boy, cherish the situation in front of you. The laws have tried their best so that you can only meet one Tribulation Demon now, but this situation will soon be broken."
Wu Xiaode felt awe-inspiring and couldn't help but worry about Zhao Junyu.
"Only by defeating a robbery demon can you get the next card?"
he asked further.
The old man looked at him, with a hint of sharpness in his eyes:
"Destruction is the only way for everything. Unless you find a way to escape, such as jumping out of the seven emotions and six desires, you can escape from the cage of the sea of suffering. If you want to save sentient beings and the world, you need to defeat the tribulation demon before you are qualified to obtain the final results of the laws. deck.”
Wu Xiaode cupped his hands and said, "I wonder who you are?"
The old man laughed "haha", shook his head and said: "No need to ask any more, just go back quickly. If what I expected is correct, it will not be easy for you to defeat the robbery demon."
——He didn’t say anything.
Wu Xiaode thought for a moment, took out a handful of gems and stuffed them into the old man's hand, then cupped his hand again and said:
"Thank you for reminding me, I don't know your identity yet."
"I won't betray my identity for this gem, huh, I won't say anything," the old man said.
Wu Xiaode waved his hand.
Rumble——
Countless gems are piled up in front of the road.
At this time, everyone around him disappeared, and even the city disappeared.
The two of them squatted in a blank world.
——Only the mountain of gems is still making a "clattering" sound.
"This art of the world was activated silently, almost without me noticing...it's really amazing."
Wu Xiaode thought.
The old man looked at the mountain of gems, then at Wu Xiaode, hesitated for a few breaths, and murmured:
"You're such a wise boy - okay, I'll only say it once, come here."
Wu Xiaode leaned forward.
The old man looked solemn and whispered in his ear:
"Beyond the mountains and the sea, there is a city that never sleeps."
The words have not yet finished.
All of a sudden.
The entire blank world and the old man were gone.
Wu Xiaode found himself squatting on the roadside, with the city in front of him and the refugees behind him, everything seemed unchanged.
He squatted on the ground, paused for a few breaths, and slowly stood up.
"The city that never sleeps..."
Is it because he awakened this skill and the existence of the Nightless City was sensed and came to enlighten him deliberately?
Right.
He said the situation would change soon.
Zhao Junyu can fall in love, but not anything else!
No, you have to rush back immediately! ! !
Wu Xiaode no longer hesitated, immediately transformed into his own body and disappeared from this world.
……
Sarre Town.
bar.
Shen Xiujun sat in front of the bar, resting his chin on his hands, thinking blankly.
Shen Feixue advised: "Sister, Taoist Priest Xiao Wu is from outside the country. It's okay if he doesn't like you. Don't take it to heart."
"I know, sister, actually I just thank him for taking care of us." Shen Xiujun smiled.
"Well, it's best if you think so." Shen Feixue patted her hand and said softly.
Shen Xiujun stretched and said, "I'm going out for a walk and I'll be back soon."
She walked out of the bar and out into the street.
If it continues like this, you will definitely lose.
I always feel...
Something seems wrong.
The other party gave me a very confusing feeling, which was a little different from before. However, I couldn't even tell what the difference was.
Want to take a gamble?
Shen Xiujun was walking slowly on the deserted street when he suddenly raised his hand and made a strange handprint.
A gust of wind came.
She scratched in the wind and immediately grabbed a hair.
——This is the hair that fell off the young man's body. I don't know where it fell, but as long as I want to look for it, I can find it naturally with some magic.
The girl held her hair between two fingers, felt it for a moment, and murmured:
"...The individual's pheromones have changed, and there must be something wrong."
That being the case.
Worth the gamble.
The girl loosened her fingers and let the hair fly away in the wind.
She raised her hands and pressed them in the air:
"Calling——"
"The parasite of the corpse of time."
In an instant, endless black light flew out from her hands, causing the entire world to change out of thin air, turning into a place of complete darkness.
Underfoot is a stretch of black water with no end in sight.
The girl stood on the water and waited quietly.
Suddenly, a long tentacle stretched out from the black water, transformed into a faceless human form, and made a heavy sound:
"I suppress the corpse of time here, do you know the importance of this place?"
"I know." The girl said.
The voice of the faceless humanoid became stern: "Although you are the devil, if you have nothing important to do, you are not allowed to come. Otherwise, you must contribute 90% of your strength to me."
"I know, but there is something wrong with me here. I need you to use the power of time to help me take a look." The girl said calmly.
"Are you sure there is something wrong? It's not that you made a mistake yourself?" the other party sneered.
The girl saluted and said: "There is indeed a problem - if I am wrong, I am willing to have 90% of my strength taken away by you."
The faceless man was silent for a long time, as if he didn't expect the other party to have such a straightforward attitude.
"Forget it, let me see for you...if someone is really going to defeat you, that is indeed a big deal."
After it said this, its body squirmed, turned into tentacles again, and suddenly disappeared into the void.
at the same time.
Wu Xiaode returned to Sare Town.
As soon as he landed, he suddenly saw black mist filling the Book of the Dead.
Ominous omen!
Wu Xiaode didn't even think about it and shouted: "The city never sleeps."
As soon as the words were spoken, a sudden change occurred——
A black tentacle suddenly appeared beside him, transforming into a faceless humanoid existence.
This strange existence floated in front of Wu Xiaode.
It cannot see him.
But he knew it had come.
The faceless man paused for a while and whispered: "There is indeed a problem. This world has turned into two different parallel worlds, one of which has turned into a dead end and is about to collapse."
"Who is he..."
The monster was lost in thought. (End of chapter)
