Jugucheng never sees the blazing sun all year round.
There is no spring or summer, only autumn and winter are always with us.
Today, just like in the past, the sky above Gucheng is covered with dark clouds and drizzle.
city,
Densely packed with bone spurs, like a stone forest.
square corners,
A huge rib-like bone, arranged in a vertical and horizontal direction like a mountain range, with the inward-curving bone peaks almost covering the entire city. Only the middle area received the bright sunlight shining down from the sky.
This is the famous Bone City in the Wild Evil, a mortal city built in the remains of giant spirits.
gray.
Moist.
gloomy.
desolate.
Depressed...
It is a portrait of Jugucheng that remains unchanged for thousands of years.
The only two colors are the lightning crackling from the billowing dark clouds, and the forbidden areas in the city that mortals are not allowed to set foot on.
Along with the thunder, the rain became heavier.
In an old house that was crumbling and eroded by rain, the door suddenly opened. A man and a woman stopped an old woman who wanted to follow her, put on raincoats, and walked quickly on the street in the rain.
When the old woman saw the two people leaving, she clasped her hands and muttered something, as if she was praying for something.
The two walked towards the city. The closer they got to the city, the lighter the rain became and the brighter the light.
As the two of them approached the city, their footsteps slowed down.
Instead, there was a cautious attitude.
It seemed that he was afraid that his footsteps would disturb something.
At the end of the intersection, it was illuminated by a beam of skylight without a trace of raindrops. It was like a completely different world from the area where we came from.
When the two of them approached the intersection, they took off their raincoats and walked even slower.
At this time,
At the corner of the intersection, a patrol team appeared. The leader's body was covered with water, blocking out the rain, while the people following him were wearing raincoats.
"For what?"
The leader shouted loudly.
This is a Lingu monk who is over fifty years old and has gray hair.
"Sir, my husband and I are here to send..."
When the man spoke, Brother Lingu's eyes had already fallen on the woman's arms.
In the woman's arms, she holds a baby.
"Go over there."
Before the man could finish what he said, monk Lin Gu interrupted with a dull sentence. Then, with the couple thanking each other for their kindness, he led the team into the dark street where the rain was pouring.
The couple walked towards the bright and clean spacious road in the direction from which the team came.
We walked like this for nearly half an hour.
finally,
The couple entered a solemn stone hall with the baby in their arms.
After the palace gate guard let him go, he couldn't help but said curiously: "Here comes another one. If I remember correctly, this is already the thirty-second one. Could it be that today is a good day?"
"There is no such thing as a good life. It's just a coincidence. You haven't married yet. Why do you care about this?"
The guard next to him was older and spoke nonchalantly.
at this time,
The couple entering the stone hall,
He was looking at the high platform with an uneasy look on his face, listening to an old man in a plain white gown pronounce judgment on another couple.
"The bone-reflecting mirror is dark, the soul-reflecting mirror has no ripples, the soul-reflecting mirror rises but does not fall, rises to half a level, and the energy is acceptable; does not fall, the divine light is completely empty, and the spirituality is completely gone, which is the qualification of "Dingxia"
, let’s go back. The child has been registered, and if there is a chance, he will be recruited. Next one.”
The old man shouted.
Below, the couple looked at each other and climbed up the steps.
Passed by the regretful couple.
"Put it up."
The old man put down his brush, picked up a bamboo ruler, and tapped the jade millstone in front of him.
Next to the jade millstone, there is a palm-sized iron plate with the word "money" engraved on it.
Seeing this, the woman carefully placed the child, who had just turned one month old, on the millstone.
The man placed ten bone coins on the iron plate.
Afterwards, the couple looked nervously at the three stone mirrors suspended in front of the old man.
The first stone mirror was fluorescent, and the young body of a child appeared on the mirror, but it quietly turned into a young skeleton, with faint light flickering on the bones.
But soon, the light quickly dimmed and disappeared without a trace within a few breaths.
The couple suddenly looked disappointed.
The old man removed the first stone mirror with an expressionless face.
The second stone mirror moves laterally, and the mirror surface is like an eternal water well. Undercurrents of water can be vaguely seen, but the water surface remains calm.
Ten breaths passed.
The old man moved the second stone mirror.
The third stone mirror shines on the baby.
Suddenly, a flash of white light lit up from the bottom of the mirror, occupying one-fifth of the entire mirror.
Yingbai lasted for a few breaths and then disappeared without a trace.
Then, from the top of the mirror, a wisp of green air suddenly descended, also occupying one-fifth of the mirror.
After a while, the green energy was still there.
The old man nodded and took away the three stone mirrors.
Looking at the couple, he said:
"The bone mirror is dark, the soul mirror has no ripples, the soul mirror rises and falls, the energy is full, and the divine light is restrained, which can be the capital of "Ding Shang". Congratulations, take the bone money back. Your son has been registered.
, good at teaching students, good at feeding students, if there is a vacancy above, they will be recruited."
"Ding Shang..." The man was overjoyed and at a loss for words with excitement.
The woman picked up the baby, her eyes moist.
So, the couple thanked each other profusely and left the stone palace.
After the two people left, the old man struck a bamboo ruler, placed a piece of white cloth with writing on it on the table, and started to play.
The old man opened the white cloth and read it carefully. Then he picked up the brush and wrote two words on a book:
——Lin Qi.
After the name, write:
——Ding Shang.

Rumble.
Thunder rumbled for no reason.
The rain was pouring down.
The Lin family couple put on their raincoats again, with unconcealable joy on their faces. They wanted to go home quickly and tell their parents the good news.
The streets were bustling with pedestrians, and fish sellers were chatting. The sound was intermittent under the cover of the thunderstorm.
The man stopped and said, "Madam, let's buy a fish."
The woman glanced at the fish stall, then at the sleeping child in her arms, and nodded lightly.
Seeing this, the man laughed and immediately walked to the fish stall.
"This is fat, string it together."
The man took a fancy to a lively whitebait at first glance.
But at this moment, a scream suddenly sounded from behind, and the man turned around quickly, shocked.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Madam, are you okay?"
He ran over and helped his wife who fell on the muddy and rainy ground.
"Qi'er."
The woman screamed in panic and pointed to the ground.
The man turned around and saw his child falling into the water. He immediately let go of his wife and quickly stepped forward to pick her up.
In just a short time, the swaddling clothes were already soaked through.
He took off the belt and wiped the mud and rainwater off his son's body with the dry clothes in his raincoat, but he smelled a strange smell of medicine.
"My poor son."
The woman cried and took the baby from the man's arms.
Take good care of it.
The strange thing is that the baby who was dropped still didn't wake up.
Pedestrians on the street stopped to watch. The stall owner walked up carrying whitebait strung with straw ropes and asked:
"Is the child okay?"
"It should be fine."
"As long as it's okay, it's okay. This fish has been skewered for you. You can just take it back to make soup. It can remove dampness and prevent cold."
"Thank you."
Wait for the Lin family and his wife to leave with their children.
In a dark alley on the street, a couple suddenly walked out.
It was the couple who had met the Lin family couple before in the Stone Palace.
At this time, a burly man appeared behind the couple.
In the man's arms was a naked baby.
"Brother, thanks to you this time."
The couple looked at the baby with complicated eyes.
The burly man said indifferently, "It's just your luck. If I hadn't been on duty, I wouldn't have been able to help you."
He said seriously again:
"You can enter the outer gate with your wealth. But remember, the effectiveness of the Yirong Pill will fade after ten years. Within ten years, you must find a way to give it another pill."
"Don't worry, brother, I know what to do for Teng'er."
The burly man nodded and put the baby in his arms into the woman's hands.
"If you cut off his future, you must treat him kindly." If you like it, please save it: (www.sodu777.net) Fortunately, I have a practice room. The update speed of Search Novel Network is the fastest on the entire Internet.
