Seeing the old man bowing his head, Li Qiye said calmly: "It's easy to do it, it's not worth mentioning."
Although Li Qiye said it calmly, for the old man, it was a life-saving grace. He was very grateful and hurriedly bowed again and said: "Old Wu Youzheng, the young master's life-saving grace cannot be repaid.
Wherever the old man is needed, the old man will always listen to the call and do his best..."
However, before the old man finished speaking, Li Qiye had already drifted away and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye. For Li Qiye, such a thing was indeed done casually, and he was too lazy to pay more attention to it.
Do you care about the old man's gratitude?
The old man raised his head and watched Li Qiye's figure disappear into the horizon. He couldn't help but sigh softly. He knew that he had met an expert today. Such an expert could kill the tree demon easily.
If you go, how can you get close to others?
Li Qiye floated away, one step in the air, his steps were like flowing clouds and flowing water. It seemed slow, but in fact he was taking one step at a time, crossing the realms of Shiyun Taoism in the blink of an eye.
Shiyun Taoism, as the Taoism in the imperial world and once the Taoism that ruled the world, can be said to be a vast Taoism with boundless Taoism.
However, such a vast Taoist tradition is already sparsely populated, and there are even fewer cities. The mountains, rivers and rivers are in a state of twilight. The entire Taoist tradition is like an old man in his twilight, like a candle in the wind. Looking around, everything is as far as the eye can see.
, everything was silent and sickly. Even the birds and animals on the earth did not have that lively atmosphere, and they all looked as if they were weak.
This land looks so barren and in decline, as if the entire orthodoxy will collapse at any time.
In fact, Shiyun Taoism was once extremely prosperous, but then it declined overnight. Subsequently, both the population of the Taoism and the birds and animals were greatly reduced in number.
As generations passed, capable sects and sufficiently powerful monks either moved far away or submitted to other orthodoxy, and some sects also perished with the decline of the orthodoxy.
As for the birds and beasts, especially the birds and beasts that were powerful to a certain extent, they all left the Shiyun Taoism and lived in other places, just like good birds choosing trees to live in.
Moreover, with the decline of the Shiyun Taoist tradition, the number of elixirs in the entire Taoist tradition has become less and less, which has accelerated the decline of the entire Taoist tradition.
Li Qiye walked across the sky and walked down, spanning half of the Shiyun Dao system. The land he walked on was so quiet that it could even be said that it was rare to see a monk flying into the sky and escaping from the earth.
In such a declining Taoism, what we see are those small villages with thirty or fifty households located in the deep mountains and old forests. They are already prosperous, and these villages are far apart. The entire Taoism
There is no appearance of prosperity at all.
Such an orthodoxy, if we say it is an imperial orthodoxy, it is difficult for people to believe it. This kind of orthodoxy is close to the edge of collapse.
However, for the people of Shiyun Taoism, this is not only a misfortune, but also a kind of luck. Unfortunately, the decline of Shiyun Taoism has made the entire Taoism barren. Fortunately, the source of their Taoism is still there.
Now, and still so strong, the entire orthodoxy is far from reaching the edge of collapse.
If an orthodoxy collapses, it is indeed a disaster for the creatures of this orthodoxy. It is like a natural disaster, and the whole world seems to be destroyed. When an orthodoxy collapses, the capable creatures can only be
Those who fled to other orthodoxy or other places to settle down, and those who were unable to escape, could only watch the orthodoxy collapse, and eventually be buried together with the orthodoxy in the collapse.
Of course, if this continues, the source of Shiyun Taoism will one day dry up. No matter how powerful an ancestor is, he will not be able to make his source of faith prosper forever.
A Taoist tradition can be prosperous for eternity because it relies on the support of generations of strong men and sages. Only when a steady stream of power continues to nourish this Taoist tradition can this Taoist tradition be passed down and prosperous from generation to generation.
Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer living beings in Shiyun Taoism, and there are fewer and fewer monks, let alone existences at the level of true emperors and immortals. Without the accumulation of generations, Shiyun Taoism may also
When it reaches the point of exhaustion, the entire orthodoxy will eventually collapse.
Li Qiye continued to pursue, looking at the desolate and declining Shiyun Taoism without much feeling. He had seen enough of the rise and fall of the sect's inheritance for millions of years, and he could be said to be completely numb.
"This is not just as simple as a full meal." After Li Qiye followed all the way, he had a general understanding in his heart and knew what this would be like. At this time, his powerful god
Consciousness has locked this land, so nothing can escape his eyes.
Li Qiye knew that the disappearance of Bailan City was just the beginning, or this terrifying scene might spread to the entire imperial world.
After pursuing it all the way, Li Qiye finally stopped. A huge ancient city appeared on the horizon in front of him.
This ancient city is extremely huge. From a distance, it seems that this ancient city covers an area of tens of thousands of miles, lying on this vast land like a giant.
However, this huge ancient city has declined. The entire ancient city is shrinking in scope. Many parts of the entire ancient city have been abandoned. In the end, the entire ancient city has shrunk to less than one-tenth of its previous size, not even one-tenth.
It turns out that such an ancient city is also the largest city in the current Shiyun Taoist tradition.
After the entire ancient city was largely abandoned, many towering city walls and standing pavilions were left. Judging from these walls and pavilions, it seems that they were so magnificent in the past. Thinking back on how prosperous this place was in those days, maybe it was once here.
It is the king who rules over the world and comes from all directions.
All that remains today are ruins and overgrown weeds and vines.
Looking at the ancient city in front of him, Li Qiye also stopped. Looking at the large area of abandoned ancient city, Li Qiye looked at the smoke curling up in the distance and said slowly: "The next target is here."
There is no doubt that soon, this ancient city in front of us will become like Bailan City and completely disappear from the horizon, leaving only a deep pit in the end.
"Death is coming soon." Li Qiye smiled faintly and stepped into this ancient city.
Mingluo City is also the largest and most powerful city in Shiyun Taoism today, and it is also the place with the most monks in the entire Shiyun Taoism.
Of course, in the past, when Shiyun Taoism was most prosperous, Mingluo City was also the place where Shiyun Taoism was most prosperous. Later, with the decline of Shiyun Taoism, the entire Mingluo City also declined, and the scope of the entire city was shrinking.
Today, the entire Mingluo City is not one-tenth of its size in the past.
Mingluo City has a population of 200,000 to 300,000 people today. It is already the most powerful, prosperous and prosperous place of Shiyun Taoism. If Mingluo City did not have such a profound foundation, I am afraid that Mingluo City would have been like the others.
The city disappeared as well.
When Li Qiye walked into Mingluo City, the streets of the ancient city still maintained the scale of construction at that time. The streets were extremely wide and grand. The entire ancient city was also very lively, with people coming and going, no matter on the streets.
The vendors and the waiters in the building's wine shop were all shouting loudly, making the place no less lively than other big places.
When you walk through countless deserted places and suddenly walk into such a lively and prosperous city, you may be more or less infected.
When night falls, the entire ancient city is brightly lit, giving people a sense of glamor and glamor. People can feel the charm of the mortal world. This kind of place seems to be more infectious with life, unlike many places.
Like that, there is the deserted atmosphere of monks coming and going, and there are unattainable sacred mountains or ancient temples.
Here, it is more like a living world of three thousand feet, because there are few monks here and there are few sect inheritances.
For mortals, they only have a life span of a few decades. They are like ants in the world. They cannot open their eyes to see the whole world. They cannot see the decline of Shiyun Taoism. They cannot see the decline of Shiyun Taoism.
Their own world is going to perish. For them, it is enough to live each day well. In these short decades, it is enough to have good food and clothing.
This is the gap between mortals and monks. Monks live for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years, while mortals live for only a few decades, which is indeed like a flash in the pan.
Li Qiye walked in this bustling and bustling street, but he was not infected by the bustling and lively atmosphere. He had seen too much of the prosperity in the world, and it was just like a passing cloud. He just walked slowly on the street.
On the street, he is like a passerby in this world, out of tune with it.
"As mortals, what's wrong with that?" Li Qiye looked at the busy streets and couldn't help but smile lightly and said: "Even if the world is destroyed tomorrow, they will still be ignorant and still be happy, even if there are ants, there are also ants.
The happiness of mole."
He once had immortality, and his Taoist heart had gone through countless trials and tribulations. He already had a Taoist heart that was as solid as a rock, and was unmoved by everything in the world.
"Soon, death is coming, but they are completely unaware of it." Li Qiye looked at the blurry lights in front of him, smiled faintly, and continued to move forward.
There is no doubt that Mingluo City will be selected as the second target. At that time, the entire Minluo City will face a disaster and the entire Minluo City will disappear completely.
When Li Qiye came here, he did not come to save Mingluo City, nor did he come to save the people here. He came here because he had something to do of his own.
For Li Qiye, he didn't think much about whether Mingluo City would survive or die, nor did he think about whether to save Mingluo City.
Because he is not the savior, he has no reason to save Mingluo City.
In fact, in Li Qiye's view, there is no difference between Mingluo City's destruction and its survival, because even if Mingluo City survives today, it will one day perish.
The rise and fall have been like this throughout the ages. There is no eternal prosperity, and there is nothing eternal.
Therefore, whether to save or not, it makes no difference to the future of Mingluo City. One day, Mingluo City will also decline and disappear, and it will also become a ruin. It is just a matter of sooner or later.
Li Qiye continued to move forward, and finally he came to a ruins. This ruins was a large area of abandoned city in the center of the city. It was overgrown with weeds and insects and snakes came and went.
Such a ruin is different from the ruins outside the city. Although the ruins outside are already abandoned, some buildings can still be seen standing, and the outlines of some ancient temples and pavilions can still be seen.
It's a ruin here. All the buildings have collapsed and become wasteland underground.
