373 ? This World (28)

373 This World (28)

◎There is nothing that Lu Yao cannot do. ◎

Qianmen Mountain, the outer hall of the Ice and Snow Temple, the staff dormitory.

It was minus 38 degrees Celsius, and Ji Qiuyan sat at the table with an electric heating bag in her arms.

On the small rectangular wooden table were two buckets of torn instant noodles, but the water in the kettle took a long time to boil. She struggled to tighten the blanket around her body, her face numb from the cold.

Ji Qingyang walked in from outside, with a thick layer of snow on his head and shoulders. He shook off the snow particles at the door, took off his mask and goggles, and let out a long breath: "The water hasn't boiled yet?"

Ji Qiuyan shook his head: "It's too cold, even if it boils, it may not be boiling. You are really hungry, why not chew some dry noodles."

Ji Qiuyan was not mocking Ji Qingyang, it was just that the living conditions in the mountains were harsh, and eating hot instant noodles was a luxury.

The two were the younger generation that Ji Feichen re-selected from the younger generation of the Ji family. As can be seen from their names, they, like Ji Qingyan, were children from the side branch of the Ji family.

About a year or two ago, most of the young people from the Ji family's direct lineage were disgusted by the child when they were on a mission in Yaoguang City. This time, Ji Feichen had to select new people from the side branch to take care of the child.

For hundreds of years, the position of serving the gods has been firmly controlled by the Ji family's direct lineage. How could the side branches get a little bit of it?

When the news was released in the clan, the older generation of the Ji family's side branches happily sent the younger generation over, and the young people who were selected were also full of expectations.

Who would have thought that the working place would be such a harsh snowy plateau, with no Internet, no electricity, and no social interaction. The daily work is to clean the temple. Usually, you can't even see the child. It's like a cleaner exiled to the mountains. Some people often joke to themselves that "it can be regarded as saving 40 or 50 years of detours."

If the Ji family hadn't had some financial resources, they wouldn't even be able to get a sip of hot water on the mountain.

Even though it was like this, Ji Qiuyan and Ji Qingyang had no complaints.

As long as the child successfully became a god, even if he was just an inconspicuous cleaner in the temple, he would be admired by others, especially those of the direct lineage who had no hope of serving in front of the gods. They would probably hate them just by looking at them.

Just imagining that scene, Ji Qiuyan found it very interesting.

Alas, even after entering the temple, she didn't seem to have much awe.

To her, the child was still an unattainable existence.

When they first came to Qianmen Mountain, the mountain was not so cold.

In the past week, the temperature has been getting lower and lower, and the wind and snow have been getting more violent.

Ji Qiuyan and Ji Qingyang heard from the elders in the tribe that the child's power was much stronger than before, and he might soon become a god.

But for a week, Uncle Feichen's face became worse and worse. He often sat alone on the steps at the entrance of the outer hall, facing the wind and snow, with a gloomy face, and no one knew what he was thinking.

And the child stayed in the underground hall every day and rarely showed up.

There were not many people on the mountain, and there was no entertainment. The faces of the seniors who were almost superiors were not very good. Ji Qiuyan and Ji Qingyang also felt a heavy pressure.

Can they really become successful if they stay here?

Ji Qingyang sat down, took out a noodle from the instant noodle bucket and started to chew it, saying, "Uncle Feichen has gone down the mountain."

Ji Qiuyan: "In this weather?"

Ji Qingyang: "I heard him tell the people in the inner hall that he was going down the mountain to make a phone call. It seems that he wanted to contact a big shot in Yaoguang City."

Ji Qiuyan: "Just to make a phone call and go down the mountain? I hope the person he shakes is really useful."

Ji Qingyang: "I wonder if the person Uncle Feichen contacted is Uncle Feiming? Didn't they say that two direct descendants have been in Yaoguang City in the past two years?"

Ji Qiuyan shook his head: "I don't understand these. The god that Uncle Feiming served has collapsed, and the new child has been found by Uncle Feichen. Even if Uncle Feichen goes Please invite Uncle Feiming, would he be willing to come over?"

Ji Qingyang glanced at the door and lowered his voice: "Actually, I think this may be what Uncle Feichen is struggling with recently. He seems very reluctant to invite that person, but the child's situation is getting more and more urgent, and finally he has to bow to that big shot."

Ji Qiuyan: "Why not?"

Ji Qingyang: "I'm just guessing, is Uncle Feichen worried that Uncle Feiming might replace him if he comes? After all, Uncle Feiming has more than 20 years of experience as a god's envoy, and he knows more secrets than Uncle Feichen, and he also has the Yin-Yang eye."

Ji Qiuyan: "Uncle Feichen wouldn't be so narrow-minded, would he?"

...

The two young men were bored and chatted idly, and in the end the water couldn't be boiled, so Ji Qiuyan had to eat dry bread.

At the foot of the mountain, Ji Feichen hung up the phone and stood on the deserted roadside in confusion.

He actually didn't know whether it was right or wrong to do so, but the child's condition was getting worse and worse, and it was beyond his ability to handle.

Ji Feichen had delayed contacting Lu Yao until this time, and he was indeed jealous, just as Ji Qingyang guessed.

It's just that the object of jealousy was not Ji Feiming, but Lu Yao.

On the day when the grocery store from the other world appeared in the human world, Ji Feichen finally realized that the owner was probably walking the same path as the child.

But there can only be one god in a world. If the owner becomes a god before the child, what will happen to the child?

Ji Feichen has feelings for the shopping street and the owner, but they are not as sincere as he is to the child.

The child is the treasure he found, his obsession, and his ideal.

He couldn't imagine what the child would do if he couldn't become a god.

After Ji Feichen brought Bu Du back to Qianmen Mountain, he gradually reduced his contact with the shopping street. In fact, he also intended to cut off the contact between the child and the shop owner.

Ji Feichen asked the clan leader to look up the ancient books left in the clan, and finally determined that if two beings with the qualifications of children appeared in a world, one would inevitably perish.

The power of the shop owner was much stronger than that of the child. When the day came to fight for the throne of god, the result was almost no suspense.

No matter how strong Ji Feichen's expectations were in his heart, he could not deny this.

Ji Feichen did not believe that Lu Yao would make way for Bu Du, even if Bu Du claimed that he was born for Lu Yao.

That is the throne of god, and sitting on it means looking down on all living beings.

But Ji Feichen firmly believed that the child would give up his position as a god for the sake of the shop owner, otherwise he would not be unwilling to separate the shadow frame and get rid of the murderous thoughts until now.

Deep in the underground hall of Qianmen Mountain, a hole was broken at some point, and monsters kept coming out of the hole.

The child stood guard at the cave entrance day and night, bloodthirsty and bloody.

If this continued...

Ji Feichen was heartbroken and finally made up his mind to contact the store owner.

On the way back to the temple, the wind and snow cut his face, but Ji Feichen walked with his head down and said nothing.

He had snow beads that were not given to him alone, so he would not get lost in the snowy mountains.

Things had come to this point, and he could only wait for the store owner to come.

He hated his own powerlessness, but was afraid of the moment when his premonition would come true.

***

Lu Yao ended the call with Ji Feichen, got up and walked out.

Ji Feiming and Harold received the news and waited for her outside the door.

Lu Yao looked at Harold: "I'm going to Qianmen Mountain to see Budu, you two come with me."

Ji Feiming's heart sank: "But what happened to the child?"

Lu Yao frowned and shook his head: "Ji Feichen didn't explain, he just asked me to go there. Maybe Budu encountered something, and that mountain has been rejecting me. I can't even make a teleportation array, so I can only fly over." Harold spat: "

What's wrong with the person who takes care of Budu?"

The little black dragon turned and walked deep into the shopping street. He wanted to find a place that was open enough to transform into a dragon.

Ji Feiming thought more and called the shopkeeper: "What are you going to do?"

Lu Yao was surprised: "What do you mean?"

Ji Feiming lowered his eyes and tried to organize the right words, but found it very difficult: "I think this may be a trap."

Lu Yao: "What trap?"

Ji Feiming gritted his teeth and decided to be a mean and rude villain: "Not only has he contacted you less and less since returning to Qianmen Mountain, he may no longer be the child who admires you. I once served a god and knew more than others. There can only be one god in a world, and you and the child will have a dispute. Maybe this time, it is a trap to lead you into his divine domain."

God is the strongest existence in his own divine domain.

After saying this, Ji Feiming blushed slightly, lowered his eyes, and did not dare to look at Lu Yao.

Fighting for the throne of God may sound like a fantasy, but after the fall of the old gods, two beings with the qualifications of children appeared in this world.

The shop owner is obviously the stronger one, but Ji Feiming is still worried.

Lu Yao will definitely be soft-hearted towards Bu Du.

Just like Ji Feichen has his own preferences in love, Ji Feiming is the same.

He also likes Bu Du, the child who is as pure and cute as snow, but if he puts the child and the shop owner on the scale, he will choose Lu Yao without hesitation. Lu Yao

took a step forward, raised his hand and patted Ji Feiming's shoulder: "Don't think so much, and don't worry, what you expect may not happen."

Ji Feiming was stunned and blurted out: "Isn't your goal to become a god?"

A dragon roared through the mountains, and stunned many birds and small animals that didn't have time to run away. Lu Yao

climbed up from the neck of the little black dragon, leaned over and stretched out his hand to Ji Feiming: "I haven't told you that two or three years ago, I lost my memory due to an accident, and I owned this street after waking up. As for why I appeared here and where I want to go, it is still a mystery."

Ji Feiming climbed onto the dragon's back with the help of the force, and grabbed the owner's clothes tightly with both hands.

It was his first time riding a dragon, and he was so nervous that he couldn't think, and he couldn't react to the shocking secret that the store owner accidentally revealed.

Harold spread his dragon wings, and the earth shook.

The shop assistants in the shopping street ran out one after another, and when they saw the pitch-black dragon as tall as a hill, their hearts stopped and they were speechless .

It's a dragon!

It's really a dragon!!!

The scene in front of them was too fantastic!

Even though they were in the shopping street, the shop assistants couldn't calm down for a while, and stared at the direction where the little black dragon flew away for a long time.

***

Above Qianmen Mountain, the little black dragon flapped its dragon wings, and its dragon claws kept attacking the barrier, and it was a little annoyed.

"This barrier looks thin, but it's quite strong."

He came for the third time, but still couldn't break the barrier.

At the main entrance of the outer hall of the temple, Ji Feichen's team had just returned from the mountain and was shaking off the snow and broken ice on their bodies. Suddenly, a loud noise exploded above their heads. Looking up, they saw a pitch-black dragon that looked like an alien creature. Everyone retreated in fear.

Ji Qiuyan and Ji Qingyang heard the noise and ran out, looking up with fear in their eyes.

The huge and sharp dragon claws scratched and rubbed on the transparent barrier. The harsh sound was like thunder and lightning, which made their hearts beat wildly and their pupils shrink. They were unable to react for a moment.

The harsh and terrifying attack lasted only a few seconds. Everyone thought that the monster could not break the child's barrier and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

The next second, a tiny black dot appeared above the barrier. It was as small as a pinhole, but the people below could see it clearly and could not ignore it.

With a crisp bang, fine cracks spread out in a spider web-like shape with the small dot as the center, and fragments of the barrier fluttered down like broken snow.

A strange human-headed staff fell from the sky, and then the black dragon that looked like a mythical monster also swooped down and landed at the door of the temple. The scales all over its body sparkled against the snow.

Ji Qiuyan and Ji Qingyang's feet went soft, and they took a few steps back and fell to the ground.

They had never seen such a monster before.

Harold landed and immediately turned back into human form, catching Lu Yao.

Xiao Ji fell to the ground, got up by herself, and patted the snow off her body. Lu

Yao jumped down, bent down to pick up the ruler of warning, turned around and walked towards the temple gate.

The huge black dragon-shaped monster turned into a human in a few seconds. The other members of the Ji family were so shocked by the weirdness they saw that they froze up, and they were like ice sculptures, unable to react at all.

Ji Feichen's pupils shrank slightly, and he took a step forward, stood at the front, and bowed to Lu Yao: "Shopkeeper." Lu

Yao looked around and didn't see Bu Du: "Where is Bu Du?"

Ji Feichen: "The Underground Hall." Lu Yao

nodded: "Take me to see Him."

Ji Feichen paused slightly, glanced at Ji Feiming very quickly, said nothing, and turned around to lead the way.

Lu Yao took a few steps and stopped: "Harold and Xiao Ji are outside, wait for me to bring Bu Du out."

Ji Feichen clenched his fists at his sides and walked forward quickly.

Ji Feiming watched Lu Yao's back as he left, and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Harold.

Harold stared at Lu Yao's slender back, his dark blue eyes calm.

There is nothing in the world that Lu Yao can't do, they just need to believe this.

The Ice and Snow Temple is the temple that appeared after Bu Du became a child, and it is not the temple of the old gods.

The temple, like the Crystal Palace, is made of ice and snow, meticulously carved, with layers of palaces stacked up. The deeper you go, the colder it is.

Ji Feichen stopped outside the main hall, breathing slightly, his hands and feet shaking.

Lu Yao: "Go out, I know where Budu is. I'll go find Him."

Ji Feichen: "No, I can..."

Yesterday he could still barely enter the underground hall, but today even the main hall was freezing cold, making it impossible to get close. Lu

Yao interrupted: "Don't you want to serve the gods? If you don't take care of yourself, how many years can you serve Him?"

Ji Feichen raised his head abruptly, his eyes filled with fear, but he seemed to not believe it.

Lu Yao stopped talking, walked around Ji Feichen, and strode into the hall.

Behind the huge carved wall pillar on the right side of the main hall, there is a cave leading to the underground. Going down the stairs is the underground hall deep underground.

Lu Yao took out a permanent lamp, held the ruler of discipline, and stepped onto the underground stairs.

The first step into the underground hall, the strong smell of blood swept her senses, the strong smell of blood and screams were like a tide, constantly pouring towards her.

Lu Yao held onto the rock wall and leaned over to catch her breath.

The anxious voice of the Dream Fulfilling System rang out: "Lu Yao! Get out! He told you to get out, don't enter the underground hall!!!"

Fine cold sweat slid down her forehead, her back was wet and sticky, and her palms that were leaning against the rock wall were also sticky. Lu Yao ignored the Dream Fulfilling System, exhaled slowly, stood up, and walked step by step into the darkness.

With every step she took, Lu Yao could hear a familiar scream.

Fragments of memories were like sharp pieces of glass, piercing into her mind bit by bit, forcing her to recall everything she had experienced here.

This underground temple turned out to be the temple of the old gods.

Halfway through the walk, Lu Yao remembered everything.
