Chapter 123 Entering the City Lord's Mansion and meeting the City Lord Xu Ming
The two of them walked around Wan Zhan City, and no one noticed them until they arrived at the city lord's mansion in Wan Zhan City.
The entire city was still silent, except for the patrolling soldiers who occasionally walked through the streets.
Only in the city lord's palace, an old man was kneeling outside the main hall.
"It seems you haven't forgotten the rules. I thought people today have forgotten the glory of Wanzhan City." Senior Brother Jin said lightly, but he couldn't hide his hatred.
So strong!
The old man was shocked and lowered his head, not daring to raise his head.
He felt the anger of the person coming. As long as he dared to raise his head, his head might fall to the ground.
"Xu Ming, the acting city lord of Xiaguan Wanzhan City, has guarded Wanzhan City for decades and never dares to forget the rules of Wanzhan City."
"I understand the rules. I came here mainly to ask you, what time is it now? How many years has it been since the battle of Zhulu? Is the Tianyu Dynasty still there?" Senior Brother Jin asked.
"According to the historical records of Wanzhan City, it has been 1,371,371 years since the Battle of Zhulu. The Tianyu Dynasty was destroyed 160,000 years ago." Xu Ming did not dare to hide it.
"160,000 years, it turns out that I have been sealed for 160,000 years. The dynasty fell, and I didn't even have time to witness it with my own eyes." Senior Brother Jin smiled mockingly to himself.
Hearing this, Xu Ming felt a storm in his heart.
As the city lord, he knew the secrets of Wan Zhan, but he couldn't imagine that there were people inside who had lived for 160,000 years.
"What dynasty is it now?" Senior Brother Jin continued to ask.
"Now the world is divided into seven parts. It is ruled by the Eastern Wilderness Taoism, the Southern Kingdom of Gods, the Southern Buddhas and Demons, thousands of kingdoms in the North, and the ten thousand demons on the Fairy Mountain Island. We have thousands of kingdoms in the Eastern Wilderness, with the Great Qin Dynasty as the core. Now, all
War City is not under the jurisdiction of any dynasty. It is inherited by the city lord's line. Now that the new city lord has arrived, I am willing to follow the city lord's side, riding in front and behind." Xu Ming responded.
"How about thirty-six cities? How many thousands of troops are there now?" Senior Brother Jin asked again.
"According to historical records, during the Battle of Yundian, 12 of the 36 cities were destroyed, and 7 were lost and secluded. In the early days, there was still contact between the 36 cities, but tens of thousands of years ago, this contact was broken.
Now that I'm here, I haven't left Wan Zhan City for decades."
"So, you don't know the situation in other cities, and they don't know you either?"
"No, the rules set by our ancestors are to search for the lost city. For more than 100,000 years, we have always abided by it and never gave up. After the city lords of all generations left their posts, they would leave Wanzhan City and go to other ordinary cities. Apart from that, I
The same goes for my senior fellow apprentices and my disciples. If it were not necessary to guard Wanzhan City, I would have embarked on the road of search."
Moreover, the old city lord sent a list and handed it to Senior Brother Jin.
After Senior Brother Jin took a look at it, he handed it over to Fang Yu.
This list is of the people who have left Wanzhan City in the past five hundred years. All of these people are from Xu Ming's lineage.
"Are you sure who are still alive? Can they be recalled?" Senior Brother Jin continued to ask.
"Senior, City Lord, you two come with me."
Xu Ming took Qi Hao and the two of them to the ancestral hall in the back hall.
In the ancestral hall, there are more than a thousand tablets enshrined, and there is a lamp in front of each tablet, but only very few are lit.
"Wan Zhan Lin has been preserved. Now besides me, there are twenty-three lights on. Three of them are my masters, ten are my senior brothers, and ten of my disciples. The city lord is now
, it’s time to recall them.”
The old man made an introduction, then sat down and communicated with the soul lamp.
"Qi Hao, you haven't seen it before. This is a soul lamp. Back then, if a strong man from the Ten Thousand War Army went to war or went out, he would light the soul lamp with his essence and blood. When the soul lamp is on, the person is still alive. When the soul lamp is extinguished, the person is gone.
Death. Through this method, you can learn the news and react as soon as possible. At the same time, if there is a strong enemy invading Wanzhan City, you can also use the soul lamp to summon the strong people outside to return." Senior Brother Jin saw them all.
Hao didn't understand and explained.
"I see."
Qi Hao stepped forward, lit three incense sticks, and personally worshiped all the tablets.
Each of these tablets represents someone who has died.
"Qi Hao, these people will be your help, you have to remember the names of these people. I know it is difficult to reorganize the Wan Zhan Army, but I still hope that you can do it. I hope that the Wan Zhan Army can reappear
In this world, Wanzhan City can suppress the border and kill countless enemies." There was a hint of pleading in Senior Brother Jin's words.
"Senior Brother Jin, I will try my best to do it." Qi Hao promised.
Not just for Senior Brother Jin, nor for Wan Zhan City, but for himself.
He is now the city lord. The stronger the Wan Zhan Army is, the stronger Qi Hao himself will be.
"It's not just you, but also me. Let's join forces to recreate the glory of Wan Zhanjun. Qi Hao, although you are not a disciple of your adoptive father, your coming here is an arrangement of fate. You are the city lord,
And I am a member of the Ten Thousand War Army, and now I am also the only soldier under your command."
Although Senior Brother Jin has lived for more than 100,000 years, he is still a member of the Wan Zhan Army. It is his mission to fight for Wan Zhan City.
Senior Brother Jin smiled slightly, suddenly closed his mouth, and sent a message to Qi Hao: "Qi Hao, but I have to leave for a while."
Qi Hao looked at Senior Brother Jin in confusion.
"I'm going to see the place where my adoptive father died, but before that, I have more important things to do. I want to become a real living person."
"Senior brother, can you do it?"
"My adoptive father said there was a way. When my adoptive father said he would come back, he would save me. Now that my adoptive father is gone, I can only save myself. Although this method has a narrow chance of death, I still want to try it."
Senior Brother Jin has a firm attitude.
"Senior Brother Jin, actually..."
Senior Brother Jin directly interrupted Qi Hao: "Qi Hao, do you think you have seen the Supreme Being in the Heavenly Palace? Do you think we have won that battle back then in this peaceful age? You are wrong. Now Wan Zhan City has fallen.
, the dynasty fell, the practice of Taoism has changed, and the realm of practitioners and the speed of practice are far from what they were 160,000 years ago. Do you think we have won?"
Qi Hao was silent. Thinking about it carefully, Senior Brother Jin was right.
If they were the victors, why did the dynasty fall? The dynasty once ruled the entire continent.
Even if all the royal bloodline was killed in the battle, it shouldn't be like this.
There is also the realm of cultivation. Although he doesn't know how big the difference is, the division of cultivation realms today is completely different from that of 160,000 years ago.
"The Heavenly Palace may not be the residence of the Supreme Being, but may also be the place where the Supreme Being is imprisoned. The Supreme Being and his adoptive father have been together since they were young, and they are each other's lives. In name, the adoptive father is the Supreme's mount. In fact, the two are brothers and siblings. The adoptive father
fall, fall in love with
Reason, it is impossible for the Supreme Being not to show up. There are other venerable beings, no one sees them off, and the message is transmitted through the air. This in itself is a rude behavior that despises the Supreme Being. How can it be tolerated by the Supreme Being's methods? Unless they are also restricted.
