Three days later, on the morning of March 15, 3584 in the Wahuang Calendar in the Sky Realm...
This was the first rainy day that Zhang Tie encountered in the Sky World. In the drizzle, Zhang Tie stood on the deck of a flying boat and calmly looked at the flow of people lined up in more than a dozen lines. Silently boarding one spaceship after another.
The falling raindrops and gloomy sky inexplicably added a sad and tragic atmosphere to this farewell. The once powerful Dragon Emperor Temple had to say goodbye to a city with millions of people in this way after the Dragon Emperor disappeared for more than 900 years, handing over everything here to others.
Tianfang City is not the first city abandoned by the Dragon Emperor Temple in the Nine Heavens Territory, and it is certainly not the last one. In the past two days, the plans and plans of the Elders Council of the Dragon Emperor Temple have gradually been revealed to the world. Within this week, except Tianfang City, In addition, the entire Dragon King Temple's power will complete the evacuation of the Nine Heavens Territory.
The cities that receive the Dragon Emperor Temple include the Qilin Temple, the Tianlan Temple, and even the Martial Emperor Temple. The first two temples are the top three Yuan-level temples in the Sky World, while the latter are the top three Yuan-level temples in the Sky World. It is one of the three emperor-level temples in the world, and the Star Emperor Temple, which has always coveted cities like the Dragon Emperor Temple, and has even broken up with the Dragon Emperor Temple, has been excluded from the cakes of those cities that carve up the nine-day domain of the Dragon Emperor Temple. middle.
Zhang Tie knew that the elders of the Dragon Emperor Temple must have had secret transactions and negotiations with the senior officials of several major temples, which is why everything went so smoothly. If the Dragon Emperor Temple could not obtain corresponding guarantees or benefits from several temples, , why would the Dragon King Temple hand over these cities and the populations in those cities to other temples? Even if they are sold at a discount, I am afraid they will not be so cheap.
The so-called gecko cuts off its tail in order to survive, that's what it is.
When the power of the Dragon Emperor Temple was no longer enough to protect the cities under its banner and to deter those forces with ulterior motives, the contraction of the Dragon Emperor Temple's power became an inevitable choice. Instead of waiting for the surrounding forces to swarm in like a pack of wolves, It's better to use these things that you can't protect and can't take away in exchange for something when you have a choice.
The decision made by the Dragon King Temple Elders Council is beyond reproach.
The raindrops falling from the sky hit an invisible shield within three feet of Zhang Tie's body. The raindrops fell from Zhang Tie's side. The open deck of the airship had been covered with rainwater. It was soaking wet, but the area within three feet of Zhang Tie was still dry, which looked a little special amidst the humidity.
It seems that there is no concept of movable decks on the flying boats in the entire Sky World. This style of flying boat is completely different from Taixia's flying boat, and the shape of the flying boats in Sky Sky Realm is also more retro. All flying boats seem to be like dragons. Relatedly, for example, what Zhang Tie saw were either dragon-shaped flying boats, or flying boats in the shape of dragon sons and grandsons. The most common flying boat shape is Bixi, one of the nine sons of the dragon. Such flying boats, at first glance At first glance, it is a huge turtle. It is said that Bixi likes to carry heavy loads, so people in the sky world also like to use Bixi's shape to make flying boats. It is said that such a flying boat is the most stable and will not encounter any bad luck.
After coming to the Sky World for the past few days, Zhang Tie became more and more certain that this Sky World must have an inseparable relationship with the Chinese and Taixia. Perhaps in some distant era, the Chinese and Taixia people here must have an inseparable relationship. The Chinese people living in Taixia were originally one, and this world and the world of Taixia were also connected together. It’s just that for some unknown reason, the two sides separated and became what they are today. The world of skyscrapers is self-contained. Cut off the connection with the world from which he came.
If you can figure out the connection between the two, maybe you can uncover one of the biggest secrets in Chinese history.
Zhang Tie's thoughts were flying like raindrops. It wasn't until the sound of footsteps came from behind that Zhang Tie calmed down a little, then turned his head and took a look.
Also walking to the deck of the flying boat in the rain was Leng Manxue.
Today, Leng Manxue took off her armor and wore a black temple robe. Against the backdrop of the black robe, this woman's face looked inexplicably whiter in Zhang Tie's eyes.
"Ha, Mr. Leng, why are you here..." Zhang Tie said hello to this girl.
"You didn't participate in the handover ceremony, are you here?" Leng Manxue looked at the people walking onto the flying boat in the rain, her voice was as calm as ever, but in this calmness, Zhang Tie could hear something. With extremely suppressed complex emotions, Zhang Tie also felt a silent sense of depression and heaviness in the way Leng Manxue looked at Tianfang City.
"This place needs to be watched over so that there won't be any trouble, so I told the palace master and took the initiative to come over..." Zhang Tie said seriously, and the reason was completely impeccable. Even Zhang Tie felt that he was under the influence of the dragon these days. In the Imperial Palace, my ability to find opportunities to be lazy is getting better and better. Leng Manxue seems to be in a bad mood these two days, but other people's moods cannot affect Zhang Tie. After all, for Zhang Tie, this city is like an inn he met during his journey, and it has no influence on him. Meaning, no matter who this city belongs to, or who will rule here in the future, Zhang Tie doesn't care. What he cares about now is only one thing, and that is how to improve his strength.
If this visit to the Sky World is regarded as a difficult and fantastic trial, then Zhang Tie's goal is to maximize his abilities and gains in this trial, and then find a way back. Things like this are trivial compared to the goal in Zhang Tie's heart - even the rise and fall of the Dragon King Temple.
"Is this what you're saying?" Leng Manxue turned her head and looked straight at Zhang Tie with her ice-like eyes. She exposed Zhang Tie's lies mercilessly with just her eyes.
"Hehehe, actually I think that kind of ceremony is quite boring. It's just a waste of time. I'm not very familiar with the people in the Qilin Temple, so there's no need to go there and join in the fun!" Zhang Ti shrugged and said calmly.
Looking at a calm Zhang Tie, Leng Manxue's eyes softened a little. She turned her head again and looked at the city shrouded in rain and fog. Her eyes became misty, as if she was mumbling to herself, " Did you know that Tianfang City is the most beautiful when it snows? If you wait until November and you are still here, you will know that the waterfall outside the city will not condense, but the water flowing down from the sky will. Being blown away by the strong cold wind, before the water droplets fall down, many water droplets will turn into flying snow, flying all over the sky, and some water droplets will turn into large pieces of water mist. As soon as the sun comes out, you can see To the scene of snow falling in the sky under the rainbow... "
"Really, that's really beautiful!" Zhang Tie touched his chin and glanced at Leng Manxue, "Mr. Leng must have seen many scenes like this before..."
"Well, I was born in Tianfang City. Tianfang City looked like this on the day I was born..."
"Ah, so your parents are both from Tianfang City?"
"They are not from Tianfang City, they are the generals from the Dragon Emperor Temple!"
Zhang Tie smiled and said, "Oh, then they must be in the Dragon Emperor Territory now. When we go back this time, it will be like going home..."
Leng Manxue was silent for a while, and then she spoke, "They are not in the Dragon Emperor's Domain. When I was three years old, the two of them died in the war between the Dragon Emperor's Temple and the demons..."
Zhang Tie was shocked, put away the smile on his face, and gave Leng Manxue a serious look, "I'm sorry..."
"It doesn't matter. One day, I will avenge them!" Leng Manxue raised her head and said stubbornly and strongly.
"revenge?"
"Yes, the one who killed them was a famous fire god general in the Demon Clan's Yan Demon Palace. That demon clan god general is still alive. One day, I will surpass him and cut off his head..."
An earth knight wants revenge on a half-saint? If Leng Manxue could take revenge like this, Zhang Tie was sure that the chance of Leng Manxue getting revenge in her lifetime was very small, because when she was making progress, the Semi-Saint Demon General was also making progress, maybe one day When Leng Manxue advanced to the semi-saint level, if that demon general was still alive, he would probably be at the holy level or higher.
This world is cruel. In many cases, the world will revolve around you unless you have a noble and great goal. In many cases, it is even the opposite. This iron-hard reality will coldly and ruthlessly crush your heart. The last goal you hoped for was crushed again and again, making you bow your head in front of reality time and time again, slowly becoming a coward, so humble and insignificant in front of your own goal, so that when you are old, you Looking back at the noble and great goals and passionate ambitions of your youth, you will feel ashamed - this is not something Leng Manxue will encounter, but something that everyone will encounter, even knights. If he hadn't owned the Black Iron Castle, if he could have survived the demonic disaster in the subcontinent, there was more than a ninety-nine percent chance that he would have become that kind of person.
Zhang Tie did not say the words in his heart, because he felt that what supported Leng Manxue, a woman, burning in her weak body was such a belief. If this belief was destroyed, it would be equivalent to Destroyed this woman, at this point, even if Leng Manxue is a knight, she is no different from those ordinary women, except that the belief burning in most ordinary women's bodies is not revenge, but love. Once a man Destroy the belief in a woman's heart, then that woman is finished. This is also the reason why many ordinary women become self-destructive or even lifeless after encountering huge emotional setbacks. Among his women, Both Bai Suxian and Yan Feiqing have experienced such a blow. Bai Suxian gave up on himself for a long time after experiencing such a blow, but Yan Feiqing has devoted herself to cultivation since then and regards men in the world as nothing.
"Okay, I'm ambitious. My parents' hatred is irreconcilable. Naturally, I have to retaliate. So what about the demons and the Vulcan General? It's not just a head with a gun. If you cut him with a knife, he will still be decapitated. If it doesn't work, then use ten blows. If ten blows don't work, then use one hundred blows. There are no people in this world, ah, no, there are no demons that cannot be killed..." Zhang Tie not only did not strike Leng Manxue, but also raised his eyebrows. Thumbs up gave a rough voice and encouraged him, "If Mr. Leng wants to take revenge one day, call me, and I will join in the fun and kill a few demons for fun..."
Zhang Tie's "foul words" only made Leng Manxue frown, but she did not turn around and leave. She glanced at Zhang Tie and suddenly asked him a question, "Do you want to advance to the level of God Emperor one day? "
"Think about it, of course I do, which god wouldn't want to reach the highest peak!"
"Then take a good look at them!" Leng Manxue suddenly pointed at the ordinary people who walked into the flying boat row by row in the rain. The following words suddenly turned into a sound transmission technique and were directly transmitted to Zhang Tie's ears, " I once heard someone talk about it occasionally in the temple. That person said that he once heard His Majesty the Dragon Emperor mention that these ordinary people are the key to the advancement of the God-King to the God-Emperor. Without them, both the human and demon clans would not be able to survive. No one can break through the shackles of the God King. Maybe one day you will have the opportunity to understand their value... "
Leng Manxue's words made Zhang Tie stunned for a moment - the God King is the Yuanshen General, the Holy Order. What does Leng Manxue's words mean? Could it be that it is the key to breaking through the Holy Order? The road behind the Holy Order is just like these ordinary people. On people
How can this be
What does it mean
In an instant, countless questions flashed through Zhang Tie's head...
"The secret, I heard, is within the core area of Shanxu..."
The lingering sound of these words was still lingering in Zhang Tie's ears, and Leng Manxue's figure was about to walk out of the deck of the flying boat...
"Ah, why are you telling me this?" Zhang Tie asked Leng Manxue, and Leng Manxue's figure slowed down slightly.
"I just think you should know this. Maybe you already knew it, but you have just forgotten it. Why? Just think of it as your reward for refusing the Qilin Temple's wooing yesterday and killing all the generals from the Star Emperor Temple a few days ago..."
Leng Manxue said as the black figure disappeared on the deck of the flying boat.
Zhang Tie stood blankly on the deck, looking at the place where Leng Manxue disappeared, and then at the groups of ordinary people lining up to enter the flying boat in the rain. He looked thoughtful...
…
The people who followed Zhang Tie and others to leave Tianfang City, in addition to the many divine soldiers, virgins, and deacons of the Dragon Emperor Temple, there were also their family members in Tianfang City and some staunch believers of the Dragon Emperor Temple in Tianfang City. All together, there were probably more than 30,000 people. By noon, these 30,000 people, together with a group of divine generals from the Dragon Emperor Temple, and a lot of property that the Dragon Emperor Temple had confiscated from the Fang family in Tianfang City, , in the midst of the wind and rain, riding on more than seventy flying boats brought by the Qilin Temple, they left Tianfang City and flew towards the Dragon Emperor Territory...
Just when more than seventy flying boats were taking off and leaving Tianfang City, in a high-rise inn near the flying boat airport in Tianfang City, a man who looked like a businessman was looking coldly through the window of the room, looking at what was happening behind the rain curtain. On the flying boat leaving Tianfang City, the businessman pressed one hand on a rune jade plaque he was wearing, and a message was instantly sent out—the nine generals of the Dragon Emperor Temple in Tianfang City, together with more than 30,000 people, were on board 74 flying boats have left Tianfang City.
After a while, when the flying boat disappeared into the sky, the runes on the businessman's jade token had already reacted, and a message was transmitted back.
- Don’t worry, the generals from the Dragon Emperor Temple in Tianfang City will never return to the Dragon Emperor Territory. Your mission is over, you can leave Tianfang City and return to the temple.
