Chapter 375 City of Thieves
The mysterious black coffin is the source of the [Neon] train’s magical effect of nourishing the soul.
The unknown always makes people wonder about the uncertain risks.
The current mysterious coffin is also an uncertain factor that Ji Xun feels must be treated with caution except for the passengers in room 007 on the train.
Qin Rushi listened and asked: "Coffin?"
"Yes."
Ji Xun briefly explained what he had seen before and said, "In the carriage in front of the special-class carriage, there was a black coffin."
Qin He paused for a moment, as if he was trying hard to remember something. He raised his eyes to look at Ji Xun, shook his head and said, "I don't know either. The notes contained a lot of content, and I didn't have time to read it carefully. But among the contents I saw before , I didn’t see any record about the ‘coffin’.”
“Oh.”
Ji Xun didn’t ask any more questions.
You can read the notes slowly, and he turned to ask: "Aunt Qin, can you open the door of 001 now?"
Qin Rushi looked at the box door, nodded and said: "Okay. When I got the note approval before, I got a lot of permissions on this train."
As she said that, she walked over and raised her hand to hold the door handle of the compartment.
Like biometric authentication, the mysterious and simple patterns on the door lock light up.
Just hearing a "click", the door opened.
In the room, Nan Sushang, who was meditating cross-legged, looked at the door opening, with a flash of surprise on his expression.
She was already surprised when Ji Xun came in using space means before.
Unexpectedly, this time, the door was opened directly?
You must know that this private room was originally designed to restrict certain dangerous undead souls, and the restrictions are extremely high.
No one can open it except the head of the Bai family.
Seeing this scene, Nan Shang thought of something and looked at the person in front of him.
Ji Xun took the initiative to introduce: "Aunt Nan, this is my friend Qin Rushi, who is also the deputy leader of the revolutionary army."
As he said that, he also introduced Nan Sushang to Qin Rushi. .
Although the two have never met, they have heard each other's names, so they are not completely strangers.
The most important thing is Ji Xun, a middleman who both trust each other, which also makes the atmosphere of the meeting very harmonious.
Qin Rushi and Nan Sushang nodded politely to each other.
Ji Xun’s original intention was to let Aunt Nan get out of trouble first and get off the [neon] train.
However, after telling his purpose of coming, Nan Sushang shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness. However, I can't leave now."
Ji Xun was surprised when he heard this and threw himself away. He looked at me with doubts: "???"
"It's very complicated to say. I'm here not entirely because of the Oran royal family."
Nan Shang's tone was very calm, and he seemed to be very open about his imprisoned situation, but he couldn't explain much: "Anyway, I can't leave now."
"."
Ji Xun heard that there was obviously something unspeakable in her words, so he didn't ask any further questions.
And the current "imprisonment" is no longer urgent.
I have determined that on this train, the door can be opened at any time, and it doesn’t seem to matter whether I can get out now.
Nan Su Shang obviously thought of something more.
Seeing that Ji Xun and the others were able to open the private room door, she asked: "I would like to ask, Miss Qin, have you obtained the control authority of [Neon]?",
"Yes."
Qin Ru nodded.
Nan Sushang was also very emotional when she heard this, as if she suddenly saw hope of solving some of the difficulties that had been plaguing her.
She said earnestly: "This Netherworld train has been going to the underworld for countless years to replenish the energy of the dead. This is also the most important way for the Bai family to contract with the special immortal family and the warm and nourishing immortal family. But eight hundred years ago, the last one of the Bai family After the seventh level passed away, this train has been traveling in this plane and has never been to the underworld."
As the high priest of Oran, she obviously knows more things that others don't know.
After listening to this secret, Ji Xun and Qin Ru realized what was going on with the train.
It turns out that those special immortals were found from the underworld?
Another mysterious and unknown realm appeared before his eyes, and Ji Xun was full of curiosity.
Nan Sushang knew what the two were curious about and said bluntly: "Of course, I know this information from the inheritance of the high priest. I have never been to the underworld."
Hearing this, Ji Xun He and Qin Rushi had different expressions.
For others, the underworld is a place in myths and legends, but it is unknown whether it actually exists.
Ji Xun thought it was so before.
But because of Nanjing, he had seen the gate of the underworld with his own eyes.
After a pause, Nan Suchhang glanced at Qin Rushi again and said politely: "If possible, I would like to use your authority, Miss Qin, to go to the underworld and identify some things left by the ancestors."
< br>Ji Xun was thoughtful. The lineage of the high priest seemed to have a special connection with the underworld since ancient times.
Qin Rushi didn’t know until he got on the train that this [Neon] train was going to the underworld.
Even after reading her notes, she confirmed for the first time that the underworld really existed in reality.
Although I have obtained the authority, in theory, I can allow the train to return to the underworld.
But this proposal sounds a bit magical to a human being.
After all, the legendary underworld is not a place where living people can go.
Qin Ru thought about this, glanced at Ji Xun beside him, and responded without much hesitation: "Okay."
Nan Sushang also responded politely: "Thank you."
Ji Xun did not ask Aunt Nan about her purpose of going to the underworld.
Thinking that if she could say it, she would definitely say it.
He turned to ask: "By the way, Aunt Nan, do you know what happened to the coffin on the train?"
Others don't know, but this person may know.
After all, the Oran royal family also has a similar coffin.
Nan Sushang was not surprised that Ji Xun would be curious about this, and responded: "This is the legendary [Soul Gathering Coffin]."
After a pause, she continued: "I'm not sure exactly what this coffin is and where it comes from. But as far as I know, the coffin on the neon train has been there a long time ago. It is said that it The origins can be traced back to some outer gods in the chaotic era. The neon train goes to the underworld to accumulate death energy, and it relies on this coffin. You have also sensed the effect, which is to nourish the soul and assist in the cultivation of spiritual power. "< br>
“Things from the last era?”
Ji Xun and Qin Ru were listening curiously, but also looked thoughtful.
Even the former Oran High Priest used a lot of uncertain vocabulary.
This inexplicably adds a bit of mystery to the coffin.
"Yeah."
At the same time, Nan Sushang also knew what Ji Xun wanted to ask.
She did not mince words and said bluntly: "The Oran Palace also has a similar black coffin. But the effect of that coffin is different. It is a relic that can preserve and nourish the 'flesh'. Of course, the quality of the coffin The level is too high, and no one knows what its extraordinary effects are."
"."
The first time Ji Xun heard about the coffin in Oran Palace was from Nan Jing. learned from his mouth.
When the previous generation of King Oran was critically ill, Queen Catherine brought such a coffin into the palace.
Now that I heard it, I understood vaguely. Was the coffin really used to treat illnesses?
Nan Sushang continued: "Later, I specifically checked the relevant information, and also studied the incantations and restrictions engraved on the black coffin in the royal court. I discovered the extraordinary properties of those incantations, pointing to' The key words "flesh and blood", "taboo" and "rebirth". And judging from the structure of the incantation, there must be more than two coffins, maybe three, or even four."
< br>"."
When Ji Xun heard this, he immediately thought of the Netherworld train in Xia Mucheng, and thought to himself: Could it be that there was a coffin like this on that train?
As for "resurrection" and "rebirth", he was not surprised at all after visiting the Mausoleum of King Augustus.
Those who stand at the top of the power pyramid seem to have a special obsession with resurrection.
These are top secrets that cannot be disclosed to outsiders. It is because of Ji Xun that Nan Su Shang explained more.
The origin of this coffin is too mysterious. She herself is very curious, but she also regrets: "But even the inheritance of the high priest line has been broken down many times. I'm sorry that I can't explain it to you. The only thing that can One thing that is confirmed is that these coffins may be related to Emperor Lanlingst, because my ancestors of the Nan family have seen some obscure records about these coffins in the notes left by that emperor."
" .”
Ji Xun listened to the catalog and thought deeply.
Asked a question, but got no answer.
On the contrary, it has led to countless new questions.
But this also aroused his curiosity more and more.
Not long after, Ji Xun and Qin Rushi returned to room 002.
Now that the trouble on the train has been basically resolved, all the two of them have to do is wait until they get off the train.
Qin Ru used administrator rights to strengthen the restrictions on room 007, and then obtained the recognition of the Mirror Spirit as the owner of the [Prophet's Mirror] through bluffing and deception.
At this point, she became the only person in the [Neon] train’s eight hundred years to have the highest control authority over the train.
This Netherworld Train is like a safe that hides countless secret treasures. The mysterious door is finally opened, and countless treasures are revealed.
Qin Rushi also became busy.
She had just learned to "please the gods", and she had too many things to learn and master. There is also the diary of the head of the Bai family, which also requires a lot of time to read.
After all, it records not only the history of the Bai family, but also some secrets and forbidden methods of the Immortal family that only the head of the family can access.
Ji Xun was not idle either.
The effect of [Mingwu Immortal Dew] is three days.
Although there is no longer the oppression caused by the death crisis, the blessing of understanding is still the most ideal state for comprehending various forbidden spells of the devil.
The two stayed in the room.
In a blink of an eye, it has been four days.
This day.
“Woo, woo, woo”
The train whistle sounded.
The scenery outside the car window gradually appeared from nothingness to mirage-like shadows of buildings.
The train slowed down slowly and stopped at a platform with a huge steel shed.
Arrived.
The conductor knocked on the door of box 002.
Ji Xun, who was wearing a black suit and holding a cane, and Qin Rushi, who was wearing a burgundy hip-hugging skirt, walked out of the carriage.
After getting off the train, the [Neon] train started slowly. It didn’t go far before it disappeared again like a ghost.
Ji Xun looked at the disappearing train and said with emotion: "The effect of the coffin on nourishing the soul is really exaggerated. My spiritual practice in the past few days is equivalent to half a month outside. I don't know if it will come from the underworld. When we come back, the effect will be so exaggerated.”
According to the current information, the coffin on the train is like a battery that has run out of power.
After it goes to the underworld to recharge, the effect will definitely be greatly enhanced.
Qin Rushi also nodded: "Yes. But only in that way can we cultivate the super-level immortal family."
The two walked on the platform, chatting as they walked.
"But having said that, Aunt Qin, are you really right? The resentful spirit in the 007 compartment of the train recorded in the notes is called [The Resentment of the Lanlingster Witch Skirt]?"
< br>"Yes. It is clearly recorded in the notes that the Bai family took in a powerful evil spirit about five thousand years ago. It was accidentally discovered that it was a relic of the Great Emperor, so he stayed to study it. [Black Devil] is one of these relics. Only gloves. It is suspected that the skirt was abandoned and turned into an evil spirit, so it became such a terrifying form."
"."
Ji Xun's expression was quite complicated as he listened.
In fact, when he heard the elf's mantra before, "The most beautiful woman in the world is Lanlingst who transformed into a witch," he felt something was wrong.
But at that time, he also felt that this might be a joke from a friend of the great emperor, so he left this spell.
But now, a certain line of logic in the deduction has been confirmed by physical objects.
Then the truth may be what he thinks.
Originally, Ji Xun didn't think anything of the sexual fetishes of those ancient figures.
But after he learned that the [Black Devil] was a women's suit, he suddenly felt that this overbearing relic was not so fragrant.
Looking at his gloomy expression, Qin Ru couldn't help but grin.
But she still did not forget to remind: "But you still have to be careful. These gloves will pollute the soul. If you put them on, you can't take them off. If you can't use them, don't use them."
". ”
Ji Xun felt even worse when he heard this.
What a good thing, but suddenly it tastes bad.
Unfortunately, the history that can be traced back in the Bai family's head's notes is from the middle to late Talon period, which is several eras away from Emperor Lanlingst. The details of the origin of this relic are not recorded in detail.
But at the same time Ji Xun was also confused.
That emperor is the most powerful man who has reached the level of god. He certainly does not need the morbid pleasure brought by transvestism, right?
Instead, it may be a necessary process to achieve a specific purpose.
Such as
ceremony?
"Eh"
At the moment when this thought flashed, Ji Xun took a deep breath.
He himself didn't know why he had such an idea.
But it seems that only this explanation can rationalize the emperor's experience of transforming into a witch.
"Ritual?"
Ji Xun thought for a moment and was not sure again: "What ritual requires transforming into a witch?"
After all, he is his senior in the same sequence. , it is difficult for Ji Xun not to worry about whether there will be some strange rituals that must be experienced in the future of the [JOKER] sequence.
However, the height of Emperor Lanlingst was beyond his imagination.
After thinking hard to no avail, Ji Xun shook his head and let out a very complicated sigh.
The two walked out of the platform.
Not far away, there is a towering city brightly lit.
This is the City of Thieves that the Bai family has been running for more than a thousand years.
The Thief City is one of the largest cities in the western part of the Federation, with a huge city area and a permanent population of over 10 million.
Ji Xun and Qin Ruzhi walked into the city, which was a prosperous scene.
The towering chimneys pierced into the dark cloud-like fog, and the machinery factories all over the city roared.
This is a half-mechanical, half-traditional city.
The city's buildings include high-rise buildings from the post-federal era, as well as retro-style small western-style buildings with spires from the Oran period.
The streets are crowded with people, the railroad tracks criss-cross, and steam trains roar by from time to time.
In the sky, a dozen huge airships were propelled by huge propellers and levitated leisurely.
The most eye-catching thing is the huge advertising banner hanging underneath the airship.
There is a huge moon painted on it, and there are straightforward advertising slogans: Joy, Dreams, Thousand-faced Moon.
Ji Xun and Qin Ru looked up at the overwhelming advertisements of the Silver Moon Sect and frowned together.
With official encouragement, the Silver Moon Sect's beliefs spread like a plague.
Walking on the streets, you can see people talking about the war and the Silver Moon Sect everywhere.
"Oh, this Silver Moon Sect is really willing to spend money. I remember the advertising fee for the airship was over a million in one day, right? Gee, yesterday there were only three ads, but today they are all replaced. . ”
“Hey, you guys, I remember that the Federation didn’t ban any old-time sect from preaching? It was said to be evil pollution. Why are all the Silver Moon Sect’s advertisements coming to the Thieves City now? "
"Don't you know this? This Silver Moon Sect is now officially recommended. Otherwise, if they can advertise like this, there will definitely be no problem, let alone you. I don’t know. I heard that there are many beauties in the church. As long as you are a believer, you will enjoy endless happiness. I even heard people say that the noble ladies, ladies, chaebol ladies, and female officers who are usually aloof will be happy as long as you are pious enough to the gods. , you can do whatever you want.”
"Really? If that's the case, I'm really going to have a look!"
"Really? Do you think that Lord Arachne, the "Lord of Dreams and Pleasure", has the ability to show off? "
"."
Ji Xun and Qin Ru were walking when a group of people happened to walk by.
Desire has always been the first driver of human risk-taking behavior Power.
The information of the civilian class is very limited, and even their only source of information is the official.
Listening to everyone talking about the Silver Moon Sect with great interest, there was no vigilance in their words, only curiosity.
The two looked at each other with serious expressions.
Nowadays, the situation in Donghuang is getting more and more complicated.
In addition to war disasters and chaos, belief pollution is also a big problem.
But that's not what they came to Thieves City for this time.
Not far away from the city center, there is a manor that occupies an extremely large area.
Nearly reaching the place, the two stopped.
Qin Rushi looked into the distance and said calmly: "They know I'm coming."
Even though they were in the enemy's base camp, there was no difference in their expressions.
Ji Xun also raised his eyebrows and asked, "Aunt Qin, do you really want to go alone?"
"Yes."
Qin Ru nodded and glanced at Ji Xun , knowing what he was thinking, said: "There is no big problem. The Bai family is not only in charge of humans, the Immortal family also has a great say. Those people in the Bai family set up the arena, and I came according to the rules. They also Don’t dare to break the rules.”
“Yeah.”
Ji Xun shrugged.
He wasn't worried.
But I want to watch the excitement.
Now that Qin Ru is like this, no one in Donghuang can stop her.
It’s okay for the Bai family to obey the rules, a fair beating.
If Qin Rushi doesn't follow the rules, the contracted immortal family probably won't sit idly by.
