After letting Wang Dan rest, Henghua got up and went to find Ouyang Ziming.
The young man sat at the table, writing in front of the mirror from time to time. Obviously, he was still paying attention to Zhang Xiangying and his party.
"How's it going?"
"There are some gains, you can see for yourself."
Ouyang Ziming handed Fu Henghua an architectural drawing he had just drawn.
This is a street in the remains of Nansei Castle.
There are strange-shaped houses on both sides and orderly streets.
"It looks very similar to Baixiyun City."
"Look carefully at the street and the stone piles beside each house."
The street is very spacious, enough for ten cars and horses to run parallel. On both sides of the main street, there are platforms for pedestrians and a trench.
"Is this a canal? Are the stone piles at the door of each house a magic spell used to extinguish fires? Huh? No -"
Henghua looked down for a while, and Ouyang Ziming handed him two more images.
"Here, look, this is what the stone piles look like when they are put together."
There is a hook on the top of the stone pile, which seems to be used to tie things.
"Is there any image of the ditch groove?"
Ouyang Ziming handed over two pictures at the right time.
"As expected, you have also thought of it. Yes, there are crawling marks in the channel. I speculate that it is some kind of creature carried by pedestrians when walking around?"
"Then, tie them at the door of each house?" Fu Henghua lowered his head and pondered, with a vague foreboding.
Ouyang Ziming then handed over another copy.
"Sister Zhang was inspecting a spiritual residence."
This is a drawing that Zhang Xiangying and his party explored and painted in the Erjin courtyard.
The main house, guest room, study room and living room are all available. Fu Henghua also saw a flower room and a tea room.
"The structure is very complete, which shows that this family's living conditions are good - have you guessed their identity?"
"They should be just ordinary residents of Qizheng City. A family of five, a couple, two elderly people and one child." Ouyang Ziming said, "From the degree of weathering of the ruins, we found some rice residue rich in aura.
Looking at the kitchen utensils, we can judge that this family usually has three meals a day, and they are all spiritual meals."
Fu Henghua looked surprised.
If such people were just ordinary residents in Qizheng City, they would be treated like this...
"It seems to be more civilized than the one over at Baixian Baicheng?"
After hearing Fu Henghua's comments, Ouyang Ziming pointed to a wooden fence in the corner of the drawing.
"Do you know what's here?"
"Pig pen?"
Thinking of the ominous premonition just now, his face changed slightly.
"Can we support such a large population?"
"It's just food, what can't you afford to eat? Eat where you are, or make a spell to eliminate the filth. Don't forget, there are also ways to use filth to make curses in evil ways."
Ouyang Ziming has been investigating ancient times for a long time, and he has often seen the sinister methods of ancient civilizations.
Henghua murmured to himself: "The evil emperor is evil and is an enemy of the immortals. He is defeated and the city of Qizheng is destroyed. All mortals die, and the city of millions becomes empty in the blink of an eye."
All mortals die, a city of millions.
What a Spring and Autumn writing style, but the content behind it is not close at all!
"What really convinced me was the skeleton that Sister Zhang and the others found in the wooden circle. In addition, there are some other things that they will come up with later. You can see for yourself. By the way, how is the situation of Senior Wang Dan?"
"I have suppressed the evil spirit of the epidemic. He is recovering for the time being. Let's talk about it in a few days."
It will take Fu Henghua at least a month to undo Wang Dan's curse. You can press it. Fu Henghua needs to prepare for the sword fight and cannot waste too much mana.
However, he did not plan to wait for the sword fight to end. When the sword fight was over, Mr. Xue and the others would definitely be there, so just let them take action.
"You said there are skeletons in the wooden circle?"
Ouyang Ziming said with an incomprehensible expression: "Even if you don't know education and morality, human relations and family ties are innate, and there will eventually be resistance. Even if you die, even if you throw them out to feed the dogs, there will always be a few bones left behind."
Then where to bury it?
Besides the wooden circle, where else could it be?
Fu Henghua was silent.
"Just take a look, you don't need to know too much about this kind of troublesome thing. We have excavated the remains of ancient civilizations, and we have seen similar things before."
Two hours later, Zhang Xiangying and his party came up from the ground and handed all the harvest items to Ouyang Ziming. Several treasure appraisers went over to receive them, and Fu Henghua helped Ouyang Ziming record every item.
Fu Henghua fell into silence when he saw the pieces of bone artifacts being returned.
Even if you already know the evil way well, the shock of actually seeing an evil cultivating civilization in front of you is still uncomfortable.
Bone tools.
There are seventy-eight daily utensils made from human bones.
And this is only owned by an ordinary resident.
Ouyang Ziming said meaningfully: "In Qizheng City, perhaps spiritual people are the official residents."
So what is a mortal?
Servant? Slave?
No, they are creatures raised in pig pens and treated the same as chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs.
"Are you sure, this is just an ordinary family?"
Zhang Xiangying took a sip of tea and nodded: "From the comparison of the decoration at the door and the surrounding houses, this family only has one foundation-building monk, and the remaining four are all Qi-refining cultivators. And the location is estimated to be on the edge of Qizheng City
.”
Ouyang Ziming continued to take notes and asked casually: "How many mortals does his family raise?"
"There is no way to verify the specifics. But judging from the size and feces left, it should be five? But according to our speculation, there are only two women here. And the children they gave birth to may not be the other three men - because they
Maybe blood relatives."
Ouyang Ziming paused: "So, there are also cross-breeding, infanticide and martial arts exercises?"
Zhang Xiangying nodded.
"Those who are exploring with us in Xingkong City are no less generous."
That ruins is the place where Yin Yanqing was trapped and almost died. The blood sacrifice pattern there is similar to this one. If it weren't for the huge difference in civilization totems and architectural styles, Ouyang Ziming would have speculated that the two places have a heritage relationship.
"How's your harvest going? Is Henghua here -"
Fang Dongyuan came in from the outside, and after seeing Fu Henghua, he said: "Your sister asked me to send a message to give you the box that Xiaoyu and the others brought back."
"Hmph - isn't she amazing? Isn't she very discerning? You can check more. Why are you so anxious to give it to me?"
Xiaoyu and Hengshou brought back the mahogany box from Dongfang Yunqi.
Fu Yaozhen immediately took it for inspection.
As a result, Fu Henghua has never touched the box.
As for Xiaoyu and Hengshou, the two "people who betrayed their master" were very satisfied with Fu Yaozhen's actions. However, no matter how they checked, they could not find traces of the witchcraft in this hasty time.
In desperation, Fu Yaozhen could only put "evil-proofing seals" on all the books. If evil spells in the books were activated and affected Fu Henghua's thinking, these seals would perform purification techniques.
But in Fu Henghua's view, these measures are simply unnecessary.
Will my soul and consciousness be simply contaminated by these things?
"Isn't it for your own good that she checked those things? Also, Xianzao Palace also sent a package, saying it was for you by name. So, they didn't open it. They just checked the outside and gave it to you.
Back to the room."
Henghua said he knew and was about to get up and leave.
Fang Dongyuan caught a glimpse of a bone bowl on the table and said with a smile: "Why, did you play with it from the ground? Bone bowl? What kind? Tiger or leopard?"
His father also had friendship with the parents and elders of Ouyang Ziming and others. It was just that when he was a child, he and Ouyang Ziming and others were different in age, so they rarely interacted with each other.
But after all, our parents are old friends, and they have been getting along very harmoniously these past few days.
Seeing him casually stepping forward to pick up the bone bowl, Zhang Xiangying, Fu Henghua, and Ouyang Ziming's eyes became very strange.
Fang Dongyuan glanced left and right, saw everyone's eyes, and then saw that no one said a word. He shook his hand and silently put the bone bowl back on the table.
He looked a little unhappy: "Is this happening in Qizheng City too?"
Fang Dongyuan heard his father tell about what he saw in the Demon Palace. Some elders of the Demon Palace like to collect these things. Especially the bones of the Immortal monks are the best collection vessels.
"Evil demons and heretics destroy human ethics, and that's how it should be."
After Fu Henghua commented, he continued to inspect these evil tools.
Soon, he finished sorting out the things Zhang Xiangying brought out and picked out three of them.
"These three items have traces of evil spells. The others are just for daily use."
Zhang Xiangying looked at Ouyang Ziming and several other treasure appraisers.
Everyone nodded.
"Your kid's eyesight is really weak if you don't come to our side to help."
"Tch—I can't do your kind of work."
"I won't let you roll in the mud. Just like Ouyang, you can have tea and relax on the ground, and help with appraisals from time to time."
"Don't do that either."
You need to clarify your stance.
Several sect elders on the Zhuguren side rebelled and left. Tianyi Sect had a good relationship with Fu Henghua, so naturally he did not dare to get too close to the Zhuguren.
It's one thing to have friendship with one's father, but it's another thing to join the ancient people in person.
Tianxuan Dao Platform is such a useful thing, so he will not cut off his authority at will.
Ouyang Ziming inspected the three evil weapons and directly ordered: "Uncle Zhang, take them down and burn them with the true fire of Samadhi. These things have no research value."
People who follow the ancients investigate the past, but they also understand the propriety.
If you want to survive, don't touch certain evil things.
Fang Dongyuan watched these people behave, and his impression of the "Zhu Ancient People" became a little better.
"When I was in the sect, I often heard the elders mention you, especially some of the disputes at the Tianxuan Taoist platform back then. But now it seems that you are not as bad as they said."
"So, Brother Fang, do you want to join?" Zhang Xiangying joked with a smile, "The risks here are high, and the rewards are generous. You help us go out to the Immortal Mansion, and I will give you 100,000 Moon Pearls. If you encounter an immortal or spiritual weapon,
Let you pick one first, what do you think?"
"So generous?"
Fang Dongyuan and Fu Henghua were startled.
One of them comes from the family and the other from the sect. But they didn’t say that they would just go there and start directly with the Hundred Thousand Moon Pearls?
"We have gained a lot from our ancient research. Although on the surface, all the immortal schools are against us, but secretly, they are willing to pay for the things we study."
The weapon refining technology of the Chi Ting Civilization, the curse materials of the Jade Immortal Civilization, and some of the cultivation techniques of the Longju Civilization...
Many masters secretly have dealings with the trading houses run by the ancient people. But they don't know the origins of these trading houses. They only have financial transactions.
Fang Dongyuan lowered his head and thought about it.
He doesn't care about money. Instead, he hopes to use the power of the ancient people to help him find clues to the "Hunyuan Golden Chapter".
…
"Everyone is here?"
Soon, Yin Yanqing also brought people over. The people behind him were carrying several boxes, and they obviously also harvested a lot underground.
Ouyang Ziming once again took people over to check and inventory. Henghua's eyes moved and he took out a jade plate from the box.
With a gentle flick of the hand, the surface of the jade plate lit up with white light, and then an image appeared.
It was a handsome and elegant man. He stood on a high platform and watched everyone in the audience give a speech.
"We are spirit beings, and we are no different from them. But because of our talents, we are persecuted by them. Those who were born with us, instead of understanding us, stand with the mortals and persecute our tribe."
He talked about his situation with excitement, and from time to time, he named a certain spirit person in the audience, and told the public how he brought this poor child out from a village where many mortals gathered.
Fang Dongyuan walked to Fu Henghua.
He frowned and said, "This image seems to be talking to us?"
Although it was just a video, no matter which angle he looked at, the person speaking on the stage seemed to be facing him directly.
"A simple video recording spell." Fu Henghua explained casually, carefully observing the man on the stage.
"Li Ling. Do you still remember your experience? Come on, tell them about it."
In the audience, the girl named Li Ling told that she was born in a mortal village. Because she had psychic eyes since she was a child and could see the death of people, she was tabooed by the villagers. Finally, a mountain demon came nearby to cause trouble. The villagers then
He decided that the mountain demon was attracted to the girl, so he planned to burn her to death.
Fortunately, he was saved by a man on the stage and survived.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I know that many people think that we are of the same race as them. However, people's hearts are inevitably jealous and greedy. When we inherit the talents of our parents and ancestors,
At that time, it has become the 'original sin'. They are jealous of us and persecute us. Those cultivators seem to be standing with us. But they are mortals and they also envy our talents.
"They look down on our uniqueness. No, they are afraid of our talent.
"We have the talents passed down from our ancestors. If we put in the same efforts as them, we can surpass them, trample them under our feet, and restore the order of the ancient civilization.
"This is what those sect members are afraid of!"
Listening to this video, the expressions of everyone present changed.
The battle between spirits!
Fang Dongyuan, Ouyang Ziming and others all looked at Fu Henghua.
Zhang Xiangying: "There were also conflicts between cultivating families in the Chinese era? Never heard of it?"
"It's just the means of a thoughtful person."
Fu Henghua was very calm.
The conflict between spirits and mortals has always been a tool used by careerists.
Mr. Xue can dissect the human body and detect similarities in physical signs. Isn't it possible for the monks from Shenzhou to do this?
To put it bluntly, it's just that the interests are different.
"I declare that from today on, I will no longer allow spiritual people to be oppressed by mortals. I will build our city and our kingdom."
…
"Weizhao Qizheng, Guangde Taiping. Qizheng City is the eternal paradise of our spiritual people. Anyone born as a spiritual person will be protected by Qizheng City."
This video ended abruptly.
Everyone present had different expressions, but all of them were on high alert for the founder of Qizheng City.
Whether it's Fu Henghua, Fang Dongyuan, Ouyang Ziming, Yin Yanqing, or Zhang Xiangying.
As long as your parents and grandparents are monks and have experienced three spiritual riots, you are considered a spiritual person.
They are all in this category.
Therefore, they fully understood the purpose of the master of Qizheng City's words.
"What a huge careerist. Is this the legendary Evil Emperor?"
As long as you are a monk, you are inseparable from your relationship with spiritual beings. Even if you are a mortal, as long as you practice cultivation, there is a high probability that your descendants will be spiritual beings.
Protecting spiritual beings directly digs out the foundation of the world of cultivation.
"Causes the confrontation between spirits and mortals. Even if monks born as mortals will choose to side with mortals, when these mortal monks have Taoist companions and breed offspring, their attitudes will become blurred."
"So, what this person is instigating is the Shenzhou sect and the Xiuzhen family back then, right? I remember a time - even now, some sects also pay attention to clear rules and precepts, without marriage. They even require virginity. Maybe in Gong
In addition to the requirements of the law, is it also to ensure cultivators in the mortal camp?"
Why was the news about Qizheng City completely buried?
Because it fundamentally shakes the stability of the Chinese cultivation world.
After the defeat of the Evil Emperor, Qizheng City and all the spirit residents were sealed to another time and space, preventing the spread of this idea in the vast land of China.
"By the way, we also found two diaries."
Yin Yanqing took out two papayas.
Henghua smiled when he saw Qianqianxiang.
Pick up the papaya and read the record inside.
"Today is the second day after the Holy City was sealed. I decided to use a new 'melon book' to record this period of life. Until His Majesty gets out of trouble and leads us out of this space...
"Now, everyone is still in a calm mood. After yesterday's rectification, Qizheng compatriots have renovated Qizheng City. Although there will be some inconveniences due to the death of the 'slave' in the city, it should not be a big problem. As long as the Seven Stars Chief brings back
Your Majesty, we can go outside to catch him again."
…
"On the fifth day, the initial problem appeared. All the bastards died, and many jobs lost their labor, requiring us to do it ourselves. Although there is help from spells, it is difficult to make up for the labor in all aspects in a short period of time."
…
"On the eighth day, fortunately, Chief Yuheng has retained a few bitches. As long as we use the 'blood spirit seeds', we will soon have a large number of laborers again."
…
"On the ninth day, Chief Yuheng betrayed us! He actually chose to protect those bastards and refused to sacrifice them. Damn it - is he going to betray His Majesty?"
…
"On the twentieth day, today's task is to take care of the bitches. Damn it, why is it my turn to do such a dirty job? But the orders of the six chiefs are absolutely correct. I should be the most suitable candidate, right? After all,
,Only someone like me can treat the lowly bitch fairly, not like ■■..."
Henghua saw traces of smearing on the text recorded by Papaya.
Based on the context, he can guess what the content is.
The content that follows is mostly the daily life recorded by the author until two years later.
…
"Seven hundred and forty-two days, damn it! More than a hundred seven-year cycles have passed? Those damn immortal and demon monks shouldn't be celebrating outside, right?
"But Chief Tianshu's research has reached the final stage. I believe we will be able to rescue His Majesty soon."
…
"On the seven hundred and forty-fifth day, Chief Tianshu summoned me. I hope it's good news, right?"
This is the last diary entry.
I have no record of what happened after I went there.
After Fu Henghua finished reading, he looked at the others.
Ouyang Ziming also read the other papaya. The two looked at each other and exchanged papayas.
The content of the second Papaya Diary is a monk's record of life in Qizheng City before the sealing.
"Counting the days, it has been two months since the last birth. We can take it to the breeding center to continue mating. I hope the material will be better this time."
…
"Damn it - it's rubbish again! Forget it, I've already fed it to the dogs, let's wait for the next batch? Hey, it's so hard to find props that match my birth date. Now that the limelight is tight, I can't go outside to catch it, so I can only
Be particular about it.”
…
"Would you like to try the suggestion of Chief Yuheng? Treat the lowly ones better? Maybe, you can increase the probability of getting good materials?"
…
"Haha - I finally found the right materials. It took ten years! The materials this time can be used to make the core driver of the treasure. Ninety percent high-quality materials, great!"
…
Fu Henghua flipped through the pages quickly, mostly records of new materials.
Brushing materials is the word that appears most often in Papaya Diary.
Qizhengcheng has a systematic and rigorous scoring model for the materials that are produced.
If the score is not good, just destroy it directly.
Once the score is good, you can use it to make evil weapons and magic weapons.
Fu Henghua felt a chill in his heart.
Even though he often jokes about turning people into beasts, he has not lost his conscience to this extent.
Qizhengcheng's ideas are contrary to the human world, so it has to be sealed.
"how?"
After Fu Henghua finished reading, he looked at Ouyang Ziming.
"I plan to go down there myself."
"I'll go too and call some seniors. Let's go underground to see how evil this place can be."
