Chapter 668: Passing the torch from generation to generation
Ruiling Realm.
The candle ring flashed, and Lu Zhong's figure emerged.
"We sincerely welcome the city lord to come in person."
Led by Huang Quan's incarnation, all the cultivators of the pioneering fleet gathered here.
The cultivators are feeling uneasy and anxious at the moment. They already know the truth about the destruction of this world and why it happened. They are even more afraid that they may inadvertently be taken advantage of by evil spirits from outside the world.
Especially after witnessing the tragic situation in Ruiling Cave.
Many people have secretly decided that in order to avoid the same mistakes in the Linghuan world, they will never set foot in the Linghuan world even if they grow old and die.
Lu Zhong had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions and signaled Huang Quan's incarnation to let the eight ghost cultivators begin the inspection.
This move was just to deceive others. In fact, he had already used the gray fog space to conduct destructive inspections on everything in the fleet, whether it was monks or various items, within the scope of his knowledge.
After some routine destruction, nothing was discovered;
Applying time acceleration to the pioneering fleet, disaster broke out this time.
It was only when Lu Zhong returned home that he discovered that the source did not come from the monks, but from insect eggs that had gotten onto the ship at some unknown time. Later, after time accelerated, the truth was finally revealed.
"Hidden enough!"
He thought to himself and continued to try other methods.
This time, nothing else was discovered.
After exiting the gray mist space, Lu Zhong casually waved his hand, and nearly a hundred insect eggs as big as fingers, as inconspicuous as stones, flew out from all over the fleet.
When he shines a silver light, these insect eggs immediately mature and change.
After a while, it turned into a head of elytra, ferocious and terrifying.
Seeing this, all the cultivators looked horrified.
You know, before Lu Zhong arrived, they had spontaneously inspected the entire fleet no less than a hundred times, but they still could not find these eggs.
"If it weren't for City Lord Lu, I'm afraid this time..."
When thinking about the consequences of this incident, everyone feels extremely heavy.
On the other side, Lu Zhong, who had seen the methods of the insect swarm, was also a little surprised.
This was the first time he had seen a camouflage method like insect eggs that could evade the detection of spiritual consciousness, even after looking through the Dao Alliance collection.
"I'm afraid... this is an evolution in response to the emergence of immortal cultivators."
This thought came to Lu Zhong's mind, and he became more determined to find out how the insect swarm invaded through scene review.
...
The vast void is filled with dead energy.
Suddenly, a door opened and Lu Zhong came out.
Through his preliminary review, he has determined that the void in front of him was the core of the Ruiling Realm, and it was also the last fortress of resistance for the immortal cultivators in this world, and that is where the Ruiling Fortress is located.
Where Lu Zhong is currently, it is thousands of feet high from the ash layer below.
It can be seen from this that the swarm of insects really devoured the Ruiling Realm until only the dregs were left, leaving nothing useful at all.
Taking into account the special situation, Lu Zhong planned to use the power of the fairy treasure square pot and the natal fairy star mirror to create a special scene review that seemed to be real.
Although this Hui Shuo cannot change the outcome, it can make the Hui Shuo world react to his actions.
If you want to find a way to deal with the insect swarm, this can be said to be the perfect solution.
Without hesitation, he immediately entered the scene to review.
...
The scene in front of me gradually became clearer.
Under the gloomy leaden sky, there are rusty and red low-rise buildings. The dim light shines on the uncared insect meat. The hawker has long been drunk and unconscious. Coupled with the sound of explosions in the distance from time to time,
As well as monks of all ages running past, a sense of déjà vu arose spontaneously.
'Is this Ruiling Fortress, which is only one year away from destruction?'
Lu Zhongmu watched this scene expressionlessly, then immediately walked towards the depths of the fortress.
Most of the people I met on the way, whether they were monks or ordinary people, understood their fate. Expressions of depression and despair were rare, and most of them had expressions of numbness.
If you have wine today, you will be drunk today, and you will be worried tomorrow.
Perhaps, this is the best explanation for their status.
The journey was like entering a deserted land.
After a while, Lu Zhong arrived at the core of the fortress.
The person who answered him was a white-haired boy with a maturity that didn't match his appearance.
The guests and hosts took their seats.
"Gudongdong..."
Even though it was a person of unknown origin, the white-haired boy still poured a cup of hot tea.
"please!"
Lu Zhong was not polite and raised his tea cup after giving a brief salute.
The scent of tea and birds can't cover up the despair here.
While he was drinking tea, a total of one hundred and twenty-seven explosions were heard outside. A total of three city walls collapsed, dozens of residential areas were destroyed, and countless people died.
"To be honest, I am not from here."
"I know."
The white-haired boy shook his head bitterly and slowly put down the teacup.
Immediately, he smiled and said curiously: "However, I still want to hear where my fellow Taoist came from? According to my divination results, my fellow Taoist should have visited this place only after ten thousand years."
"Yes, it is indeed ten thousand years later..."
Lu Zhong did not hide anything and told his complete story.
Not only that, but also the problems faced by the Linghuan world are also revealed.
After hearing this, the white-haired boy was silent for a while before letting out a heavy sigh.
"Linghuan! I didn't expect that fellow Taoist... actually came from here and was able to overcome all kinds of disasters and cross the border. It would be great if I could hold on longer. It's a pity that I can't save myself after all!"
This kind of dialogue across time and space is undoubtedly the most despairing.
He clearly knew that Luofu would cross the border in ten thousand years, but Ruiling could not hold on until then.
After a long time, he raised his head again.
"Fellow Taoist came here this time, presumably to find a way to deal with the insect swarm, right or wrong?"
"That's right." Lu Zhong nodded.
The white-haired boy took a deep breath, his reddish eyes returned to normal, and he smiled uncharacteristically: "Then, fellow Taoist, can you agree to my... humble request?"
"If you have something to say, it doesn't hurt to say it."
Lu Zhong rubbed the teacup with his fingertips, probably guessing what the other party was thinking.
At this moment, the other party swept his sleeves across the table, and immediately there were no less than a hundred jade slips, large and small, appearing.
"These jade slips are all the major inheritances of our Ruiling world, and there is no omission in the content. It's ridiculous. In the old days, every family was so strict that they couldn't wake up in time even if the disaster was approaching, until they were forced to enter this Ruiling world.
The fortress finally repented... What a pity, it was already too late!"
"Although I am no longer here, if the inheritance can continue, I will not be ashamed of my ancestor."
The boy in white smiled bitterly several times and released more than a hundred jade slips.
"These are the insect swarm information that fellow Taoists need, and they are all here."
"And these..."
He flicked his sleeves again, and this time the glow fell on the ground.
It is a mountain of jade slips.
"The names of those who died in the war are all recorded in the jade slips. I also ask fellow Taoists to have mercy on me and agree to my humble request. I only hope that fellow Taoists can erect a monument for these people."
"I don't ask anyone to remember them, but at least it is recognition of their efforts."
Lu Zhong was silent after hearing this, and then nodded after a long while.
