Chapter 511: The Eternal City
According to legend, there was once a river in the Western Regions that fell from the sky, hanging in the air and rushing down, hence the name "Teng River".
The water of Teng River is clean and hygienic.
The river fell to the ground, and the people on both sides of the river could live forever by drinking the water.
Relying on this fairy river, a group of immortals have grown up on both sides of the river and are called the "Immortal Tribe".
Until one day, the people of the Immortal Tribe discovered that the water of the Teng River falling from the sky was gradually drying up. They tried every possible way, but no one could find the reason.
How can humans know what is happening in the sky?
In panic, the tribesmen invited a Zen master with great magical powers, hoping that he could give them some advice.
The Zen master used his wise eyes to see through the nine heavens and ten earths, and then said that a demon was born in the fairy world.
It soaked in the Teng River, blocked the source of the Teng River, and drank up all the water of the Teng River to enhance its own strength.
If it is not contained, when it drinks up all the water in the Teng River, not only will the immortals in the lower world no longer be able to live forever, but even the fairy world will be destroyed by the demon with greatly increased strength.
The immortals didn't care about the things in the fairy world, they just wanted to be immortal. So they begged the Zen master to give them a solution to save the immortals.
So the Zen master taught them a scripture and put a powerful holy object into the river, telling the immortals that as long as they chanted the scripture loudly together on the shore, they would be able to kill the demon.
The immortal people were actually skeptical. Would the demon who had grown up to be able to destroy the fairy world be killed so easily by the Zen master?
But they had no other choice but to give it a try and trust the Zen master for once.
So the whole tribe chanted scriptures on the shore for seven days and seven nights, and something miraculous happened.
When the seventh night was about to end, there was a sudden thunderous sound in the sky, and the earth and the sky were shaking! Half of the tribesmen were stunned by the sudden loud noise, but this was not the worst.
In just a moment, a huge monster fell from the sky. It was so huge that it directly covered both sides of the Teng River. The tribesmen who were sitting cross-legged and chanting scriptures on both sides were all suppressed by this giant! The unimaginable earthquake affected the entire western land, causing countless casualties. It was a long time before someone could go to explore the source of this great earthquake.
The Teng River that fell from the sky disappeared and never appeared again.
The members of the Immortal Tribe would no longer be sad about this, because the entire Immortal Tribe was crushed to death, and no one was spared.
The disaster was caused by a huge corpse that fell from the sky, which later turned into a towering oasis.
Countless years later, a prosperous and beautiful city was built on the oasis.
It's called the Eternal City.
Legend has it that the holy object that the Zen master used to get rid of the devil is still enshrined in the Eternal City. So even though this isolated city occupies a large piece of fertile and rich land, no powerful country dares to take action against it.
However, even if there are no external worries, internal troubles are always inevitable.
…
The flowers bloom bright red on the hills, and the green mountains and clear waters do not care what year it is.
The streets of the old city.
"Disciple, your lover..." Yu Qian'an said casually.
"Acquaintance." Li Chu corrected immediately.
"Oh, the girl you know is the princess of this Eternal City?" Yu Qian'an asked, "If she is so prestigious, can we just ask her for help?"
"It should be possible." Li Chu said: "I have worked with her in Shenluo City. If I go to her house again, she shouldn't refuse."
A group of four people were walking on a busy street, with pedestrians thronging and jostling each other. Little Koi kept holding on to the corner of Li Chu's clothes, afraid that he would get lost.
Old Du, carrying his bag, looked at the coolly dressed beauties from the Western Regions who appeared from time to time on both sides of the road, with a warm and innocent smile on his dark face that he could not help but smile.
The city is high in altitude, with plenty of sunshine and a slightly hot climate, so it is not uncommon for girls to show off their slim waists and long legs. The sunlight shines on the snow-white skin, so bright that it is almost blinding.
"This is what the Western Regions should look like." Yu Qian'an said with a smile.
yes.
Lao Du couldn't help but nodded.
This is what public travel should be like.
Another peculiarity of the Bulao City is that there are so many flowers here. Wherever you go, whether it is the streets, eaves, roofs...almost everywhere you see there are large clusters of flowers in full bloom.
Compared with Shenluo City, this place is more worthy of the title of "Flower City".
Li Chu knew that this matter should be related to Ye Leng'er.
She is a rare flower fairy body, born with spirituality, able to make flowers and plants grow out of thin air. Back in Shenluo City, during the cold winter, she could make the whole city bloom just by walking a distance. This is her hometown, so it is natural that she will be affected.
When they reached the center of the Bulao City, they were a little tired from walking around. Lao Du saw a girl selling melons who looked particularly pretty and graceful, so he walked up to her and said, "Give me two melons."
"Customers can choose for themselves." The girl selling melons smiled sweetly.
Lao Du casually asked for directions: "Miss, where does Ye Leng'er, the princess of the Bulao City, live?"
"Ye Leng'er?" The melon-selling girl blinked and said, "Are you looking for Her Majesty the Queen?"
Is she already the queen?
Li Chu was surprised for a moment, then he took the melon handed over by Lao Du, tasted it, nodded and praised: "Hmm... They say that the melons and fruits in the Western Regions are particularly sweet, it really is true."
Yu Qian'an looked at Du Lanke chatting with the melon-selling girl and said with a smile, "Yes, they say that girls from the Western Regions are particularly beautiful. It really is true."
…
"They say there are a lot of monsters in the Western Regions. It's really true..."
Wang Longqi was tied to a pillar in a dark cave, looking miserably at the monster in front of him.
A few little demons that had not yet fully transformed, with pig heads and donkey brains, swayed around in front of Wang Longqi, laughing strangely, as if they wanted to scare him for fun.
But Wang Longqi had seen a lot of things, so how could he be frightened by these country monsters? He was not afraid at all, and shouted: "Let my child's mother go, and whatever you want to do, come after me!"
"Come for you? Do you have that ability?" The little demon laughed strangely and pointed at the inner cave behind him: "Just listen carefully, you will hear your wife crying soon!"
The leopard-headed demon king had already taken Ji Yuhuan in. Wang Longqi gritted his teeth and was about to greet his ancestors in a friendly manner.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang.
A bolt of lightning came down from the sky, blasted straight through the top floor of the cave, and smashed into Leopard Head's bedroom.
A few little demons who were still mocking Wang Longqi still had smiles on their faces. When they turned around, they saw thick smoke coming out of their king's bedroom.
"Your Majesty!"
The little demons looked at each other, yelled, and rushed in together.
After a chaotic bunch of noises, the pitch-black leopard head was finally lifted up, and they started to use other rescue measures, such as pinching the Ren Zhong, patting the chest, and using the Dabikou...
After a long while, Leopard Head's eyes finally opened a crack, he opened his mouth, spit out a wisp of black smoke, and then slowly uttered four words.
"This... is a trick."
