Chapter 371 Deja Vu (1/2)

On the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, it snowed heavily in the dead of winter.

There was only one day and one night left before the change in Zhuxian Town.

However, before the change came, it was the goose feather snow and the biting cold wind that came first.

This blizzard suddenly fell last night, sweeping across the vast territory of Youxiong Country overnight, coming extremely abruptly.

It was sunny yesterday, but today the mountains are covered with snow, frost trees are covered with ice, and the sky is gloomy and dim, with no sunlight.

This sudden heavy snow has greatly hindered the speed of migration of the residents of Zhuxian Town.

Although as an ancient city that has had a big mess and has a change every hundred years, the city has already had a plan to prevent emergencies.

However, it is still too difficult to migrate hundreds of thousands of residents in the city in one day and one night in such a heavy snowstorm.

However, at the critical moment, the City Lord's Mansion and several old clans in the city worked together and sent their own practitioners to help the residents migrate.

On a grass sea plain fifty miles away from Zhuxian Town, the practitioners of the City Lord's Mansion set up a formation covering a large area. This formation has only one magical effect, that is, it is warm as spring when you are in it, and you will not feel the severe cold.

And the practitioners of several old clans cast various spells to bring the residents of the city out of the old ancient city in batches and bring them to this vast grass sea that is still warm as spring in the heavy snow.

The scene of hundreds of thousands of people migrating at the same time is simply spectacular and scary.

When standing on the sky and looking down, the ground is densely packed with moving figures, and the crowd seems to have spread to the end of the sky.

And such a large-scale migration of people naturally caused a lot of riots and disputes.

But this time, the City Lord's Mansion and several old clans in the city worked together in a rare way. Not only did they not drag each other down, but they even cooperated with each other tacitly. Under the authority of many practitioners, although riots and chaos appeared from time to time, they were still able to maintain order.

After all, the mortals in this world have become accustomed to living under the protection of the masters of cultivation.

When the masters ask everyone to do something, no one dares to contradict or disobey. Because the mortals who dare to do so have long become the excrement of demons.

Not to mention temporarily moving out of the city, even if the city lord really wants to force everyone to move away from their hometowns, the mortals will not resist at all.

They cannot resist.

There are fierce beasts and demons lurking in the wilderness. As mortals, there is no room to struggle in front of those man-eating monsters.

There are only mortals in the legendary southern country who are unwilling to accept the protection of cultivators and can still jump around.

The Huotong Kingdom where Lu Heng came from is a [land of absolute demons]. Although there are strange beasts lurking in the mountains and wilderness, there are almost no demons that harm people. Within the boundary monument, there are no demons and no fierce beasts.

Compared with the Huotong Kingdom, most places in this world have demons living.

Although big demons are rare, those who have not yet transformed into humans but have already achieved some Taoism and can use magic and illusion to confuse the minds of mortals are everywhere and can be killed endlessly.

The little demons and demons who may have accidentally absorbed the essence of the mountain or have been lucky enough to live long enough to nourish the spiritual energy and then began to practice are endless like leeks that can never be cut. These little things are as fragile as ants in the eyes of practitioners, and even mortal men with more vigor can easily beat them away.

However, the various evil methods of the little monsters are not something that ordinary mortals can resist. Once neglected, it will cost their lives.

There are no evil demons in Huotong, and there are wizards everywhere, so the monsters in the country are in a dangerous situation at any time that they may be hunted by wizards if they are possessed by demons. Therefore, most of the little demons cherish their lives, and even if they are envious of the convenience of practicing evil ways, most of them dare not take the evil path.

But it is different outside Huotong.

Outside Huotong Country, such as Youxiong Country, it is normal for demon cultivators in the wilderness to eat people. It is natural for evil spirits to occupy and demons to wreak havoc.

For the little mountain demons who have a little Taoism, the demon cultivators they come into contact with are basically all demonic. Everyone eats people, but you don't, how can you survive?

——So after the trend of demons eating people was formed, the situation became chaotic.

Like Huotong Country, it is unimaginable for [wild people] who are unwilling to accept the rule of the Fire Temple and unwilling to pay grain taxes, and build villages in the wilderness to live in groups and be self-sufficient in Youxiong Country.

Here, if a village is not suppressed by the [Human King Monument], evil spirits will wreak havoc within three days. If the villagers do not flee, the entire village will be exterminated within ten days.

Therefore, the mortals of Youxiong Country are naturally obedient. The cultivator master of the City Lord's Mansion ordered, and the residents in the city did not dare to disobey.

The migration of hundreds of thousands of people was not disrupted by the authority of the practitioners and the maintenance of order by many petty officials.

At nightfall, the huge Zhuxian Town became a completely empty city.

Except for a few practitioners, there were almost no people.

Lu Heng stood on the top of the city, looking at the empty old city, shocked by the obedience of these mortals, and also sighed at the practitioners' hands-on work.

In this world, a very positive relationship seems to have been formed between practitioners and mortals.

The two are integrated with each other, but they are also clearly divided.

The righteous practitioners are influenced by the skills, and their character is bound to be good. There are almost no traditional bullies who bully the market and ride on the heads of mortals, and the practitioners do not need mortals to support them.

And the mortals are also willing to accept the leadership of this group of practitioners and are willing to be obedient citizens under the rule of the practitioners, so as to stay away from the threat of demons.

The Zhuxian Town in front of him is just an old city with a population of hundreds of thousands. In this world with ridiculously high productivity, it is a remote and deserted place.

But this kind of order is something Lu Heng has never seen before.

He had to sigh that when the ruler is really a superior god, the desire of mortals to resist will indeed be greatly reduced.

Fortunately, the practice of this world requires a high character. There are basically no evil people among the righteous practitioners, and they are often good people who care about all living beings in the world. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable...

On the gate tower, Lu Heng sighed.

Duanmu Zhi, who was walking not far away, was still wearing mourning clothes. Now he walked towards Lu Heng with a slightly nervous expression.

"Senior Wolf God, all the residents of Zhuxian Town have moved out of the city as you requested."

"Now there are only 37 practitioners left in the city, and they can leave at any time."

After reporting the situation, Duanmu Zhi looked at the profile of Wolf God and said carefully: "In addition, after the capital knew about the changes here, His Majesty attached great importance to it and sent Prince Zhennan to Zhuxian Town."

"Now Prince Zhennan's royal chariot is staying 30 miles outside the city. I want to ask to see you, Senior..."

Duanmu Zhi's expression was a little nervous.

Lu Heng smiled and said: "Prince Zhennan? How is his relationship with Prince Zhenbei?"

Lu Heng still remembered that there was an old acquaintance in Youxiong Country, that is, Prince Zhenbei of Youxiong Country, so he mentioned it casually.

But Duanmu Zhi became more nervous after hearing this.

After she delivered the message to Beijing last night, she immediately received feedback from there, and also learned that the Wolf God in front of her had some grudges with the King of Zhenbei at the Nanhai Mermaid Country Treasure Conference six years ago.

Although the Wolf God might not care about the trivial matter six years ago, the Beijing City still warned Duanmu Zhi emphatically.

Therefore, Duanmu Zhi hurriedly said: "Reply to the Wolf God, the King of Zhennan is located in the southern border, which is six million miles away from the northern border. The mountains are high and the roads are long. I am afraid that the families of both sides will hardly meet once in hundreds of years. Therefore, the two princes have never been familiar with each other."

No matter how the Wolf God thinks of the King of Zhenbei Su Lie, Su Lie must be separated from Youxiong Country and other practitioners in Youxiong Country!

After hearing Duanmu Zhi's reply, Lu Heng was stunned for a moment.

It's not that he was surprised that Duanmu Zhi and Su Lie drew a clear line, but this distance...

"Six million miles?" Lu Heng was really shocked this time-the border of Youxiong Country was so large?

Huotong Country has a narrow, long and flat border, so he didn't feel much.

Although the South China Sea has a vast territory, he almost relied on the light of escape to travel in order to find Huo Feng, and he didn't know much about the distance.

The distance between the southern border and the northern border of Youxiong Country is a full six million miles... What does this mean? You should know that the farthest distance between the earth and the moon is only about 800,000 miles.

But the straight-line distance between the southern border and the northern border of Youxiong Country is six million miles away.

According to Lu Heng's understanding, the South China Sea area further south of Huotong Country is many times larger than the entire Youxiong Country.

And to the north of Youxiong Country, there is the Wan Yao Country with a larger territory, and to the north of Wan Yao Country, there is the vast North Sea...

The continental area of ​​this world is a bit scary.

Before, Lu Heng didn't deliberately understand it, so he didn't feel much. Now that he has a little contact with the specific numbers, he is shocked.

It can only be said that it is worthy of being a world where gods exist, and there is no need to follow physical rules.

Otherwise, according to the laws of physics, such a large planet is absolutely impossible to exist.

But when I think that this world is not a planet, but a world with a round sky and a square earth, can I accept it?

Lu Heng had a lot of random thoughts in his mind, but his expression on his face remained calm.

Looking at the cautious and nervous young widow, Lu Heng smiled and said, "It's still impossible to meet. Lu will go underground to see the situation next. Tomorrow night is the time when the change will come, and there is no time to meet new friends."

"Madam, you should call out the practitioners in the city first to avoid being affected."

After saying that, Lu Heng left the city gate tower directly and turned into a lightning and escaped underground.

But he had no intention of meeting the King of Zhennan.

Duanmu Zhi had no choice but to notify the remaining practitioners in the city to leave according to Lu Heng's request, and inform the King of Zhennan outside the city of the Wolf God's reply.

As the half ruler of the southern border, the Wolf God can ignore this prince, but she cannot ignore the other party's power.

After Lu Heng went underground, he smelled a faint smell of blood.

This Zhuxian Town seemed dilapidated and old, and even at this time there was no abnormality, but the scene under the ground was completely different.

The dark red soil seemed to be stained with countless blood.

As Lu Heng went deeper and deeper into the ground, the smell of blood became stronger and stronger.

When he went about a thousand feet underground, the bloody smell around him had almost condensed into substance. The dark red soil was filled with strange blood-red gas.

And Lu Heng saw a huge stone tablet.

This stone tablet is hundreds of feet high and huge. It is buried thousands of feet underground. No one knows how he got in.

The tablet is engraved with dense large characters, all of which are spells to suppress demons and seal evil.

The bottom of this huge stone tablet is completely blood red. The bloody blood has completely condensed into substance and turned into a wall to prevent Lu Heng from continuing to escape.

Obviously, this huge stone tablet is the decree sent by the King of Man a thousand years ago to suppress the evil spirits here.

However, on the day of the mutation, even this stone tablet could not completely suppress the things underground, and the bloody and rich blood overflowed.

However, the good news is that although this rich blood is pungent, it has no lethality and cannot harm the creatures on the ground.

However, this may also be related to the fact that the day of the mutation has not yet completely arrived.

Perhaps when the mutation begins tomorrow night, the scene underground will be different?

While thinking, Lu Heng hurriedly walked underground, and soon found the place with the most concentrated blood.

In the dark and strange underground world, Lu Heng's white clothes were almost all dyed into a strange bloody red by the ubiquitous blood, but his face remained as calm as ever.

Standing in this place with the most concentrated blood, Lu Heng directly attracted the spiritual energy and deployed the formation.

Obviously, there is another ancient city under Zhuxian Town.

That is the real Zhuxian Ancient City, which is now projected into the netherworld.

However, under the decree of the Human King, all evil spirits were sealed, and even Lu Heng could not spy on the location of that city.

Fortunately, tonight is approaching the day of the change, and the seal has loosened. Lu Heng may be able to use the secret method recorded in "Divine Power" to glimpse the scene in the city.

If you can glimpse the scene in the city in advance, you may be able to uncover the huge secret of this ancient evil city.

By then, Lu Heng will be ready to prevent this ancient city from destroying the newly built Wheel Palace...

"Huh..." Lu Heng took a deep breath, and lightning surged on his body.

When he opened his eyes again, a dazzling white light suddenly burst out of his eyes.

The two white lights were like the light of the sky piercing through the dark clouds, flying straight into the thick blood barrier below.

In an instant, a huge and extremely dilapidated altar appeared in front of Lu Heng.

In the center of the old and dilapidated ancient city, on the huge altar, stood a throne made of loess.

When Lu Heng saw this scene, the fierce figure on the throne seemed to have sensed something, suddenly opened his eyes, and looked at Lu Heng...

"...?!" Lu Heng's body in the blood was shaken, and his sight returned directly to reality.

Some indescribable feeling rose in his heart.

Lu Heng's expression was slightly shocked.

Because the fierce figure on the throne gave Lu Heng an extremely strange and familiar feeling.

As if he had seen it somewhere...
