City Lord Qi held his chin with the back of his hand: "What happened next is more logical, because we couldn't go back, so we stayed here, but unfortunately..." She laughed at herself: "Probably our lives are bad. Well, we inadvertently opened a crack in our search for a way back."
"The one leading to the South of the Ghost River?" Xu Zirong asked softly with a move in his heart.
City Lord Qi glanced at him, secretly jealous of this man who was prettier than himself for a second, then put aside such thoughts and said solemnly, "That's right."
"Then why don't you return to Central City through that crack?"
City Lord Qi gave a wry smile and explained the follow-up development.
Speaking of which, I really don't know if these people in the central city are unlucky or what. They live at home well, and a strong wind is listed on the ground, and they are merged into this world. After trying hard to find a way out, he went through countless hardships and finally opened a crack, but he did not expect to cause even more trouble.
According to City Lord Qi, the people living in Guijiangnan Town are not living people at all, they are all the people of the central city who died before. Because the world was held inexplicably at the beginning, and there are still many strange things in this world, the city owner at that time ordered to collect the souls of all the dead townspeople, for fear that leaving their souls here would not be able to reincarnate .
Later, after a long study, they finally opened a crack leading to the real world. When everyone in Zhengda cheered and hoped to go home, reality gave them another blow.
The crack they opened became the link between the two worlds, and the magic of this world began to flow wildly from which crack to the real world. Originally a quiet and peaceful town in the south of the Yangtze River became a dead city in a few breaths. Such a strong demonic energy, even Nascent Soul cultivators could not bear it, let alone ordinary people.
The cultivators who opened the cracks were immediately dumbfounded. They wanted to return to the real world, but this return could not be based on destroying the world. Seeing that all the people in a small town died in a short period of time, you don't have to think about it, if this magical energy spreads out, what will happen to the real world.
Although they are cultivators, their attitude towards ordinary people is completely opposite to those of the four arrogant immortals.
They attach great importance to the lives of ordinary people. In their opinion, although ordinary people are weak, they have a large base, and countless talented monks have been discovered from ordinary people.
The higher the cultivator's cultivation, the less likely he will leave children. If ordinary people are allowed to die, sooner or later, the cultivators will cease to exist.
It is precisely because of this long-term concept that they have a very serious understanding of the consequences of this demonic energy leak.
This sudden and rich demonic energy can definitely kill ordinary people in an entire domain in the shortest time. If the leaked demonic energy can maintain this concentration for a long time, I am afraid that even the monks will not be able to survive.
In order to prevent such a tragedy from happening, the cultivator responsible for opening the crack immediately decided to close the crack, but he did not expect that the demonic energy of this world, like a shark that smelled fishy, began to flow towards the crack like a shark.
The cultivator turned pale in shock. Although he had a high level of cultivation, he was still incapable of facing the demonic energy of the whole world. Seeing that the raging demonic energy was about to destroy another world through the cracks he opened, this monk was ruthless. He decided to build a unique space at the cost of his own cultivation, and completely isolate the Jiangnan town from the real world.
A town that is not in the real world naturally cannot become a channel for the spread of demonic energy. What is surprising is that the real world seems to have a natural attraction to the demonic energy of this world, and the demonic energy that spreads in Jiangnan town is inexplicable There is a certain connection with the central city, thus connecting the Guijiangnan Town and the central city together.
Through the connection with the central city, the demonic energy can still enter the real world, but because of the particularity of Guijiangnan Town, the amount of demonic energy that can be diffused is not large.
But if these demonic qi are not controlled, sooner or later, the gap between Guijiangnan Town and the central city will be corroded. Once this limit is broken, the demonic qi can completely use the central city as a springboard to completely invade the real world. .
In desperation, these cultivators could only temporarily put aside their research to find a way to go back, and instead began to solve the mess they made themselves. After years of hard work, they finally managed to develop a method to temporarily control the spread of demonic energy.
The townspeople in Guijiangnan Town have long since died, but their bodies are not corrupted under the nourishment of demonic energy. Only such a body can withstand the corrosion of demonic energy and consume demonic energy. gas.
Those who died in the central city took the initiative to undertake this task and forcibly poured their souls into these fleshly bodies that had been nourished by demonic energy.
Gradually, this small town in the south of the Yangtze River came back to life again, but the souls of those city residents couldn't bear the damage of being eroded by demonic energy, they kept forgetting their memories, and even in the end, they didn't even know why they were alive. understood.
In order to keep the townspeople alive, a monk who is good at weaving memories modified their memories. Every year, the ghosts and gods have to re-enter their memories for them, so the lives of these people are repeated year by year.
As for why the people who killed the townspeople became townspeople, it was mainly to ensure that the number of townspeople was enough to digest the demonic energy gushing out from the cracks. Since you killed the townspeople, it's fair to have to use your body to make up for it, isn't it
And the goblins and ghosts in the town are mostly unlucky ones, because the number of townspeople in the past was not enough to digest the demonic energy gushing out from the cracks, so the bones buried around the town were turned into ghost repairs by the monks. Those foxes and weasels who were running around were also forcibly turned on their intellects to recharge...
The black and white changes in the town are not controlled by the monks, and they don't even know why. But thinking about the ghost town itself is a uniquely created space, it's normal for something miraculous to happen. .
At this point, it can be said that the cause and effect are generally clear. Although there are some other doubts, since the other party didn't say anything, Xu Ziyan would not hesitate to ask.
Of course, just because Xu Ziyan didn't ask doesn't mean he's not curious, and besides him in their team, there is another curious person who is dying...
"So, what's the matter with that red hijab?" Tian Le asked with a 'innocence' face.
When City Lord Qi heard the three words with the red hijab, his face immediately sank, as if he had thought of something bad.
She rubbed her forehead vigorously: "This matter is about the secrets of our central city, and it is inconvenient to disclose it to you. All you need to know is that this thousand-mile marriage was once a magic weapon that we used to suppress demonic energy, but it was accidentally lost later. Okay."
She looked up, noticed Xu Zirong's wary expression, and couldn't help sneering: "Don't worry, since you found it, it means you have a relationship with it, and we don't need it anymore."
"Is it because there are better alternatives?" Xu Ziyan couldn't help asking.
City Lord Qi nodded calmly: "Forget it, but these have nothing to do with you. Don't you want to leave here? Let's talk about it."
Xu Ziyan's eyes lit up: "Do you have a way to get out of here?"
City Lord Qi lowered half of his eyes, and the corner of his mouth raised a radian: "It is true, but why should I tell you?"
Xu Ziyan's expression condensed, and then he looked at the Qi City Lord meaningfully: "You are very clear about our purpose, so if you have something to say, you can say it directly. As long as it is a reasonable request, it can be discussed."
Xu Ziyan specially emphasized the word "reasonable". They really wanted to leave, but it also depends on the price to pay. If the other party's demands are too excessive, they can find another way. It shouldn't be a problem to survive in this magical world.
"Don't worry, there is no harm in this matter for you, and it even has a lot of benefits." City Lord Qi smiled lightly.
Xu Ziyan raised his eyebrows, surprised by what she said, but whether it was really beneficial, we had to listen to what she said later.
The request made by City Lord Qi was for Xu Ziyan to save them from this hellish world of demonic energy.
To accomplish this feat, it is definitely not something that can be done overnight.
Fortunately, City Lord Qi was not unreasonable, and did not let Xu Ziyan do this alone. The monks in the central city have lived in this demonic world for thousands of years, and through thousands of years of uninterrupted research, they have also made a lot of discoveries.
It's just that these discoveries made them very desperate, because every opportunity to leave has a most basic requirement, that is, there should not be too much magical energy in the body of the person leaving.
Thinking that their central city has developed here for so many years, all the monks who cultivated absorb the spiritual energy transformed from the magic energy. On the surface, they are no different from the ordinary monks outside, but in fact, their connection with this demonic world has become so close that it is inseparable.
Note that it is difficult to divide, not impossible to divide.
They still have a chance to leave here, provided that the power to pull them out of this world is strong enough.
Such a powerful force is obviously not something that can be achieved by one or two monks. It is only possible that hundreds of thousands or even more than 10,000 high-level monks can use the magic circle to condense their strength together.
But the problem now is that it is difficult for all the monks in the central city to leave this world, so who can gather so many monks outside to save them
The answer is very simple. Only the monks who entered here from the outside have the opportunity to leave here because they have not absorbed the magic energy here.
