Chapter 135: City of decay

Views:

Guanghan County is located in the southern part of the Jintang Dynasty.

This is where the Jintang and Cangpu dynasties are close, and the Wanling Mountains pass across the land. With the Wanling Mountains as the boundary, the Jintang Dynasty is in the north and the Cangpu Dynasty is in the south. With the Wanling Mountains as the watershed, there are water veins in the north and south. The Xiangtan River is a big river originating from the Wanling Mountains.

The Wanling Mountains are high, surrounded by clouds and mist, and there is a lot of precipitation. The Xiangtan River, which originated in the deep canyon and the giant valley, rushes down, and flows out of the mountains to the plains of Guanghan County. After that, the water flow slows down, and the sediment is deposited into a fertile plain. Before it became a forbidden area, Guanghan County had always been the well-known granary of Jintang. At that time, Guanghan County leaned on the Wanling Mountains in the south, blocked the southwest wind, and was irrigated by the Taotao River of the Xiangtan River. It was rich in agriculture, which was enough to fill half of the Golden Tang Dynasty with the abundance of a county.

"A prosperous year in Guanghan will make the world full", which refers to the prosperity of Guanghan County in those days.

Jingling Terrace was built here.

The Xiangtan River flows out and accumulates in a low-lying basin in Guanghan County, forming Xiangtan Lake with vast expanses of water. Jingling Terrace is built on a convex bank in the southwest corner of Xiangtan Lake. It is surrounded by water on three sides and surrounded by white mist in the morning and evening, like a fairy platform on the clouds. .

It is said that the ancestors of the "Singing on the Clouds" Liu family of the Jintang family realized the swordsmanship of "Singing on the Clouds and Singing on the Clouds" at the shore of Xiangtan Lake.

All kinds of legends and stories have given Jingling Terrace a fairy-like color.

But that's all in the past.

Ever since the burial site of the ancient emperors connected to Jingling Terrace changed, and Yi Heping and his group fell into a conspiracy, Jingling Terrace is no longer the place where "the mist on the Crane Mi River, the secular Penglai Jingling Terrace" The mortal holy land. It has become the soul-sealing altar that people in the world talk about.

After leaving Jiuxuanmen, Jun Wanbai and others arrived here in the blue feather light boat day and night.

Jun Wan, Bai Li Xin, Chu Zhiyuan and the others actually didn't know much about this mission. He Qingchuan and that mysterious elder were responsible for the main tasks.

The elder wearing a cloak and a hood didn't say a word along the way, and he didn't appear in front of everyone. It felt very weird until Qingyu Guangzhou stopped outside the main city of Guanghan County. He just walked out of the room—still with that mysterious look.

Jun Wanbai suddenly thought of Bailishu.

Suddenly, I remembered the way Bailishu stood on the deck that day, looking down at the blue feather light boat. At that time, she thought that Bailishu was looking at the squirrel of prey and the frightened scorpion bird in the clouds. But... after knowing that Baili Shu is one of the eighteen Gu Clan members, Jun Wanbai couldn't help but think:

Could it be that Bailishu was also looking at those mortal cities that day

Through the heavy clouds and mist, he watched the achievements, large and small, and the ants-like mortals born in abundance. He is a member of the Baili clan who guards the tomb of the sky in the eighteenth middle school of the Gu family. He silently guards the tomb of the sky, and he also silently guards all living beings.

So, what kind of mood does he feel when he looks at the common people he guards

Jun Wanbai couldn't imagine it.

But until she followed He Qingchuan and the mysterious elder into Guanghan County, she was still thinking about Bailishu's thin figure in white robes walking in front of everyone.

The change in the place where the ancient emperor was buried, although the Jingling Terrace had been sealed by Guan Zhiyu and the others at the cost of their own lives, the fluctuations of the ancient emperor that had spread before had already had an irreparable impact.

This is why in the era of chaos, the rebels of the eighteenth Gu Clan would insist on killing the ancient emperors one by one for tens of thousands of years at all costs.

The ancient emperor at that time was a true emperor, a real emperor who "the emperor is like the sun and cannot be disobeyed" and "follow the law and order the world", not the ordinary emperor today who is subject to everywhere. The ancient emperors in the chaotic era, they themselves are the existence of power, and their will can command the world.

When the emperor was angry, the color of the world changed, and the mountains and rivers faced each other.

In the face of this kind of power that almost controls nature and surpasses the world, mortals are really just ants, and life and death cannot be decided by themselves. At the random thought of the ancient emperor, the entire tribe died.

And after the change of eras, some of the will of the Ancient Emperor's Boneyard revived would be a catastrophe for a mortal city like Guanghan County.

Outside Guanghan County, before entering the city gate, one could feel that the whole city was shrouded in an extremely cold and depressing force field. There is an uneasy atmosphere everywhere. The city gate has also changed from the original vermilion to a dull gray-black, with dark tones everywhere.

After entering the city, the disturbing feeling became more and more serious.

Somewhat similar to Bingzhou, in the main city of Guanghan County, the yin and yang and five elements are also chaotic, and the ghost world haunts and haunts, and you can see places swallowed by sticky darkness at a glance.

It seems that this city has decayed after being deliberately forgotten and avoided for a long time.

The ghost world here is more yin and evil than the one in Bingzhou City, obviously not at the same level. It was also at this time that the elder in the cloak and hat made his first move. He raised his hand, and a bewitching flame rose from his palm, and the crimson flame spread out, enveloping everyone.

Crimson flame

Karmic fire

Seeing the flame, Jun Wan, Bai Lixin and Chu Zhiyuan looked at each other, and saw the surprised expressions on each other's faces - who is this elder from the Nine Profound Sect, who can control the Karma Fire so casually? This kind of thing? Have you never heard of such a character in the sect

The mysterious elder's control over Karma Fire was at its peak, and the crimson flame spread around everyone, but Jun Wanbai and the others didn't feel the heat of the flame.

However, everywhere around them, the moldy ghost world seemed to have encountered something that restrained them. Wherever they walked, the ghost world slowly receded, revealing dark streets and decayed houses again.

After the ghost world could not hinder them, the group of people rushed towards the Jingling Terrace by the Xiangtan Lake in the southwest at an extremely fast speed.

As they gradually passed through most of the city, the sluggish and difficult sound of water began to sound in everyone's ears—it sounded like stinky, viscous stagnant water flowing slowly.

Continuing to drive for a stick of incense, he was gradually approaching the Jingling Terrace, and after turning around a dilapidated restaurant, He Qingchuan's footsteps suddenly stopped.

— Not far from them, on the humus-like ground, the ghost world receded slowly, revealing a half-buried corpse.
