Chapter 823: In the Empty City

However, although it is miserable here, it is also very calm and stable, not as wild as the streets outside. Surrounded by quaint wooden houses, it looks like an ancient old block.

Zhang Deming walked along the way, many people looked at him with the eyes of the West Wing, some ugly little dolls stared at him with big clear eyes, and there were also a lot of people with indifferent expressions. .

"Mom, the king is back, don't I have to worry about it, I will be bitten off by the two tigers after I run out?" An ugly child looked up at an ugly woman after seeing him. Said.

"Well, well, the king is back, so they don't dare to bully our Vine tribe casually, after all, our tribe also has a great sage!" The woman replied like this.

Hearing such whispers, Zhang Deming turned his head in astonishment.

Even if the child is very young, he is not ugly and cute, with cracked skin, obvious rattan bark, head like a rattan bump, hands and feet only roughly shaped, the whole body looks like a strange tree bump.

The cultivation base is not high, only the Tai Chi stage, the reason why such a cultivation base can transform to such a degree is because it was born like this, and he was conceived after the transformation of his parents, like most of them are half-demons.

In addition, the grass and trees belong to the demon type and are gentle in nature, so it is normal to be bullied here with this level of cultivation. If there is no such territorial neighborhood, there may be countless miserably.

Zhang Deming looked at the two, and then at the beggar-like people around him. He suddenly understood why Shen Lingjun had the tendency to be 'devil'.

The grass and tree clan is really not suitable to be a demon, at least not suitable to be a demon in such a place. It's no wonder that the human race divided them into plant elves, which were particularly distinguished from other ten thousand monsters.

Zhang Deming didn't do anything, just walked silently, maintaining the persona of Shen Lingjun, and came to the end of the street, in his palace.

This is the only decent building on this street, and the specifications are not too hip. It should be built by the demon clan for him, the demon king.

Of course, the style is also a wooden house, or a territory-like block, which is built according to this architectural style.

······

After Shen Lingjun came here, he seemed to have fallen into memory and fell into silence. Zhang Deming was familiar with this strange wooden house under the guidance of Bai Teng while following Shenlingjun's information.

The wooden house does not look very big, but the space inside has been expanded, as spacious as a palace compound, and the style is very primitive.

After a long time, Zhang Deming sent away a group of followers, and under the guidance of Lord Shen Ling, he came to his library, searched his collection of books, and said, "This is your home?"

"Why, it doesn't look like it?" Shen Lingjun said dully.

"No, I thought... I thought it was more like a human territory, rather than this... natural style?" Zhang Deming recalled the courtyard with a layout like a forest park, so said.

"Oh, you want to say, why did I leave them alone?" Shen Lingjun said.

Zhang Deming was silent and did not reply. Although he didn't ask, he was indeed a little puzzled. But it's just doubts. He doesn't have any intention to comment on other people's homes.

Don't persuade others to be kind without suffering from others!

"Let's talk about it after you understand Wan Yao City. It's better to leave them alone than to take care of everything. After all...

The vine demon needs to be cheap in order to survive tenaciously. Only strong grass in the wind can be full of resilience!

If we give them an ideal environment, and with the nature of our people, it is easy to live in fairy tales, then we are not far from genocide. Seeing this, Shen Lingjun said with a little explanation.

Zhang Deming could tell that this might be a reason, but it wasn't the main reason, and he didn't delve into it.

He just looked at him with doubts, and asked: "Why don't you just join the human race? Find a sect and vote, it's better than here, I don't think you are like the one who treats the human race as a foreign race, or even hates the human race." Humanoid."

"Heh, if that's the case, the situation of our Vine Clan will only be more miserable. From being oppressed by the weak to being oppressed by slaves, and even turning ourselves into resources and food, so what if life becomes perfect?" Shen Lingjun said sarcastically.

Zhang Deming was stunned for a moment, thinking of the flower demon elves of Tianlingmen, they are living a very good and perfect life now, but that contract is indeed a slavery contract, Zhang Deming can't refute it.

Although Zhang Deming believes that one should want to live a good life before seeking other things. But about enslavement, he really couldn't refute it, the concept is fundamentally different.

After all, there are amazing sayings that say: life is precious, love is more expensive, if it is for freedom, both can be thrown away. But if there is a contract, even if there is no restriction, for some people, it should be unfree, right?

Zhang Deming didn't continue to speak, just nodded, and sighed inexplicably: "I probably understand, you monster race are really strange creatures!"

Shen Lingjun did not speak, and the two maintained this silence. Zhang Deming began to continuously collect the few books in Shenlingjun's collection.

······

After a long time, Zhang Deming frowned and said, "You are also a demon king after all, why is the library so hip? Is there a secret room?"

Shen Lingjun heard the words, as if his sacred purity had been violated by Zhang Deming, he popped his head up, and the face among the flowers looked at Zhang Deming and said:

"Go to other tribes and see, don't talk about other things, you can find a few Zangshuge like me, or, you can find how many ethnic groups with places like 'Zangshuge'. Turtle shell and stone pieces are included !"

"Eh...!" Zhang Deming finally realized what Shen Lingjun said. This is the monster race, not the human race.

"But you are also a demon king who has survived for many years. Don't you have any information about the extinct weapon demon clan?" Zhang Deming changed the subject.

Lord Shenling shook his head, and said: "Even in ancient times, there were very few artifact demons, extremely rare. Because spiritual artifacts have to be out of human control, and the conditions for independent control are too harsh.

Most of the psychic artifacts, after the death of their masters, are either sleeping or quietly waiting for the arrival of the next master.

What's more, in the era of new magic techniques, in the cultivation of weapons, monks of life weapons are very popular. Traditional weapon cultivation has been extremely declining for many years, resulting in fewer and fewer spiritual weapons.

So the weapon demon has been extinct for a long time. If you want to find clues in the entire Ten Thousand Monster City, you must go to the Emperor Bird Clan! "

Between the words, Shen Lingjun's tone was a little uncertain, presumably he didn't know these things.

"With your identity, are you qualified? I mean, are you qualified to visit directly?" Zhang Deming asked.

Shen Lingjun was silent for a moment, before replying: "At any rate, I am also a demon saint, go try it!"

to try?

In other words, is it really possible to be blocked?

Zhang Deming shook his head speechlessly, and joked with ambiguous meaning: "Well, it seems that you are really a person who hangs around in the human race!"

Shen Lingjun didn't reply, and after returning to the Vine Clan, he seemed to have become very silent.

Zhang Deming clearly felt that there should be some stories in it, which led to the current situation, and even made Shen Lingjun a little disgusted with the monster race, and tended to be a monster.

But the other party didn't intend to say anything, and Zhang Deming didn't want to ask. After all, he didn't come to be a king, to save some suffering, wild, passionate monster clan, he just came to inquire about information.

······

Zhang Deming didn't take immediate action, but stayed in the neighborhood for two days, inquiring about the general situation of the Vine Clan, and at the same time learning about the current situation of the Yao Clan.

Generally speaking, the emperor bird clan has a faint tendency to retreat, and it has been a few years since they didn't care about everything. As the royal family, the Dragon Clan only controls the overall situation because of the sparse population.

The one in charge is the Yige headed by the Monkey Clan and the Yalong Clan, um, let's call it the Yige for now.

However, Zhang Deming looked at the loose situation of the Ten Thousand Monster City and the situation of the entire monster clan. This council probably, should be very hip.

Early this morning, after figuring out the general situation, Zhang Deming left the block where the Vine Clan was located, and headed towards the center of Wan Yao City.

The overall layout of the entire Ten Thousand Monsters City is a bit similar to the ancient capital of the previous life. In an irregular valley and plain surrounded by mountains, a giant city lies horizontally.

In the very center of this giant city, there is a palace-like building, which occupies about one-twentieth of the total area of ​​the entire giant city, which is considered very large.

After all, there is God Lingjun, who owns the big monster of Liuhe, and the mansion is only one street away, and it is still a street in the corner.

······

Flying is generally not allowed in Wan Yao City. Even though the Five Elements Great Monster has been able to resist the air ban and fly to a certain extent, no monster dares to mess around like this.

Obviously this is prohibited, but this does not include the demon saints of the Liuhe period. Like the human race, the monster race has also reached the Liuhe cultivation base, and there is an obvious difference, or the difference is more obvious here.

So Zhang Deming floated up from Yuteng Street, and came to the palace-like palace. It landed at a gate of the palace, and it couldn't fly in so casually.

Looking at the palace in front of him, Zhang Deming believed a little more in Shenlingjun's legend about the mysterious bird.

Because it is completely different from the rough and boulder city of Wan Yao City. It is a piece of jade buildings, and its exquisite style is in sharp contrast with the messy strange stone buildings around it.

Moreover, Zhang Deming is also very familiar with this style. If I feel right, it should be the style of the Shenting era, and it is also the architectural style of the Lingxiao world.

‘Was it built later, or was it relocated that year? '

‘It’s nothing more than the one built later, if it’s relocated, I’m afraid this palace...maybe it’s a special artifact! '

Zhang Deming's thoughts flashed as he looked at the gorgeous palace in front of him that seemed to be covered with white jade.

"I've seen the Great Sage Jade Vine!" The doorkeeper was a member of the Bird Clan, who looked at Zhang Deming who was floating down, and immediately greeted him.

Obviously, if they were not familiar with Lord Shen Ling, there was still some order in the seemingly chaotic demon city, and some timely information was processed.

And Zhang Deming thinks that the latter is more likely.

Zhang Deming looked at the crowd, there were five guards in total. These five people are the most human-like five people Zhang Deming has seen in the past few days. Even the etiquette is quite standard, um, the etiquette of the monster clan.

They don't have any monster parts, the only thing that is not harmonious is that each nose is a little too sharp, making the eyes look very cloudy, and the overall facial features give people a feeling of not being soft.

After looking around, Zhang Deming nodded slightly, responding calmly to several people. Seeing this, the captain of the five immediately asked, "Grand Sage Yuteng, you come to the Imperial Palace all the time, are you looking for some old ancestor?"

Zhang Deming nodded and said, "I want to meet High Priest Fei Yu!"

The high priest of the Emperor Bird Clan is the person who controls the entire Emperor Bird Clan, that is, the highest leader. She is a woman with a relatively neutral name called Chi Feiyu. It is said that she is a ruthless person.

Well, at least this is the case in the story, the evil demon girl, the most depraved demon of the demon clan, the source of all evil, the root of the depravity of all living beings!

Anyway, it's kind of evil.

However, there are also many anti-routine scripts, saying that they are hidden bosses in the monster clan, and they are finally accepted by the protagonist.

As for the cultivation base, it should be in the Eight Diagrams period, after all, he is a person with the same name as Jian Chen, Qian Yu, etc., and he is also a veteran senior.

······

Hearing this, the captain showed a embarrassed expression, but he didn't speak for a long time.

Seeing this, Zhang Deming raised his eyebrows and said: "Why, I haven't returned to this demon city for decades, so I am not qualified to enter the underground palace, and I am not even qualified to pass a pass?"

The captain sensed Zhang Deming's dissatisfaction, and immediately said in fear: "Master Yuteng, you misunderstood, it's really that the younger ones can't pass it on, let alone the high priest, even the ancestors, none of them are here.

The entire imperial palace was probably just guarded by a small group of us, plus the ancestors left without explaining anything. Under such circumstances, I don't dare to rush in and wait for you to go in, so..."

Having said this, he looked at Zhang Deming anxiously, and did not continue speaking. Zhang Deming frowned, and asked doubtfully, "Aren't they all here?"

The captain nodded, and said: "Yes, not only here, but now in this city, except for a few demon saints sitting in the town, the others should not be in the city."

While speaking, without waiting for Zhang Deming to ask, he looked at Zhang Deming, and took the initiative to explain: "This incident was actually very sudden. About a month ago, there was a sudden movement in the forbidden place of the black bird, and then it was like this."

Zhang Deming was taken aback, his eyes flashed, and he asked, "Yue Xu? Twenty-seven days ago?"

The captain nodded unsurprisingly, and said, "Well, is that why you always go back to the city, Great Sage Yuteng? Do you think it's okay?

You go back to the family first today, I think it's almost time for results, and the ancestors should come back.

If there is no result, it is not something that can be dealt with in a short time, then some of the ancestors should also come back, how about notifying the Great Sage immediately when the time comes? "
