"The medium-sized city ahead has a strange name, and the world calls it 'Mortal Crossing'."
With the city in sight, Monk Miaolin and others took turns explaining the origin of this ancient city to Liu Shuzhu.
"This city has a very long history. No one knows how long ago it was first built. Some even say that it has existed longer than some big cities, but it is only spread among the common people. Over the years, the city has experienced several ups and downs.
Despite the disaster, it has been suppressed by various forces many times, but it has always been able to be rebuilt on the original site."
"The city is a mixed bag. There are both ordinary people in the desert who have not participated in martial arts, and there are also many innate warriors who have no family or sect. The area east of the dead line is the nearest gathering place for people, but it is not very lively."
Mortal crossing.
After what they said, although this city was a medium-sized city, it was somewhat famous in the Western Desert.
Firstly, the geographical location of the city is quite special, it is adjacent to the dead line in the desert, and it happens to be at the midpoint between the north and south of the dead line; secondly, it is because the successive city lords of Mortal Crossing were many cultivators of the true martial arts realm, and some
The strength is not too weak yet, if it is not perfect, it will be destroyed!
The current city lord is even more outstanding. It is said that he is a Perfect Martial Emperor with outstanding cultivation.
If you want to take charge of a medium-sized city, the cultivation of the Xiantian Martial King is enough. Many of the strong men on the surface in big cities are only in the realm of supreme beings. Like Mortal Du, who can use the foundation of a medium-sized city to have a strong true martial artist sit in command and rise to the top.
Being treated like a big city is rare in the entire Western Desert.
Yichen also said: "The last teleportation platform that the poor monk rides on is in the city." Entering the city to join the formation is the best choice at the moment.
When Liu Shuzhu was escaping from the giant city, several Emperors of Perfect Wu chose to stay away from the crowds as much as possible in order to conceal their whereabouts and avoid being tracked by the Immortal King. Therefore, the last time he crossed the dead line in the desert, he never passed through this city: "Mortals crossing, fall down
It’s such a strange name. The desert is full of barren sand. There are no rivers, lakes or seas, and where are the ferries?”
Looking at it, the city ruins are not too small, but compared with the scale of those big cities, they are much inferior.
On the city gate tower, there are three simple characters "Mortal Crossing" engraved, but it is nothing special.
On the contrary, there are two couplets of verses engraved on both sides of the doorway, which is particularly eye-catching!
——Immortals do not cross mortals;
——Mortals do not return, but dead people return.
"This... is such a big gesture and such a crazy momentum!"
Seeing these two lines of verse, Liu Shuzhu reacted greatly. He stopped in front of the city gate and stared at the two lines of verse in silence, feeling excited!
It's not because those two lines of handwriting are outstanding, but the power contained in the verse itself is majestic and impressive. He has practiced the ancient skills of killing immortals and great sages, and has become very sensitive to the word "immortal".
After these two sentences, a certain resonance was inexplicably generated in my heart. It felt like I had vaguely touched some kind of concept, but I couldn't clearly understand it.
Immortals do not cross.
Mortals do not return.
From his perspective, it was as if an ancient man was standing in front of him.
The ancients overestimated their own capabilities and insisted on using their mortal flesh and blood to look down on the immortals. Only before the battle did they leave such arrogant verses.
Who else but the minds of sages and bodhisattvas could write such soul-stirring verses!?
Fight against the immortals with all your strength, and look forward to death!
The ancient years are a history of blood and tears for the human race. Even excluding the catastrophe caused by the world-destroying monarch in the last years of the ancient times, the human race has had earth-shattering wars with various races!
There are four wilderness areas outside Zhongzhou. To the west of the Western Desert and further to the west, let’s call it the ‘Buddha Desert’.
There is a mountain in the Buddhist wilderness, Lingshan.
In ancient times, or even longer than ancient times, there were Buddhas preaching in front of the mountain, which was the origin of the Buddhist clan. At the foot of Lingshan Mountain, when the Buddhas disappeared, it was most likely the rise of the immortal clan.
On that day... these words were spoken by the mysterious emperor himself to Liu Shuzhu, which revealed the origin of the Immortal Clan. By observing the Buddhist Qi in the ancient immortals, it is not difficult to see that the Immortal Clan is a people who have many similarities with the ancient Buddhist Clan.
A race of deep origin.
Immortal, rises in the West.
In this way, if the immortal tribe invaded the Western Desert from the Buddhist wilderness, the distribution of dead lines in the desert would not be difficult to understand!
It runs through the north and south, cutting the desert into two halves, east and west, forming a line of defense against the immortals. It is not difficult to guess why the sages and bodhisattvas who died in this area died...
Based on just two sentences, he was so distracted that he came up with the reason for the formation of the 'Death Line in the Desert', which was extremely arbitrary. Whether the formation of the Dead Line was related to the invasion of the immortal clan, no one could say for sure. But...
...In addition to the catastrophe caused by the world-destroying monarch, Liu Shuzhu could not think of any other power in the world that could make many sages and bodhisattvas fall to the ground!
"Does any of you know who wrote these two lines of verse?"
The monks could not understand Liu Shuzhu's thoughts and shook their heads one after another. They only said two sentences, how could they be so excited?
Yichen said: "Even the eminent monks in the temple can hardly tell the past of Mortal Crossing. The city lords in the past have always kept a low profile and did not get involved in disputes in the desert. Every time the city is rebuilt, these two verses will be engraved on it.
, has become a common practice. If you want to ask about the origin of the verse, I am afraid that you can only know it by asking the city lord here personally."
Liu Shuzhu turned to look at the Lord of Qingshan City again, hoping that he could know some secret information.
Qingshan City Lord shook his head, looking a little confused, and said: "Mortal Crossing, although its location is special, its background is still not comparable to that of the big city. Only the city owner is a true martial artist, which does not represent the strength of the entire city. I have never been here, even if I have never been here,
I have never interacted with it even though I have been here before, but I have heard of this place and a little bit of these two verses, but I really don’t understand what’s so special about it.”
There are many strange things in the world. The higher your cultivation level, the more strange things become.
A medium-sized city has been destroyed many times. Even if it has been quietly rebuilt many times, it is not worthy of the top powerhouses in the desert to devote too much energy and attention. Among the forces that have taken action to destroy Mortal Crossing, there are many big cities, and they have not been able to do so to this day.
No retaliation. To put it bluntly,
This place is located in a remote place. If the entrance to the ancient land is not opened to the west of the dead line, a place like this where birds don't poop is on the edge of the dead line, which affects the stability of the space. The stronger the power of the teleportation array, the greater the interference it will receive.
The more powerful people there are, the less likely they will come to seek bad luck nearby.
There are at least tens of thousands of medium-sized cities in the vast Western Desert. Being aware of the existence of this place is already a great honor to it!
The essence of the line of death in the desert is that the Dharma of many sages and bodhisattvas has not been dissipated after their death, thus interfering with the stability of the real space.
Liu Shuzhu also recently learned this from the giant rat.
Others don't know the origin of the dead line in the desert, nor are they lucky enough to practice the ancient skills left by the Immortal-killing Great Sage, so naturally they can't notice anything.
Liu Shuzhu sighed: "Don't you think that such a majestic verse can only be written by sages and bodhisattvas?" Yichen frowned slightly, not knowing the deeper meaning, and the others did not answer, but they all felt in their hearts
He makes a fuss out of molehills, and the Lord of Qingshan City is no exception.
However, Liu Shuzhu's mind was still full of thoughts. After brewing for a long time, he suddenly turned over his hand and took out a long knife. He controlled it with his blood energy. The knife mark was far away. Under the two verses on both sides of the city wall, the sword was used as a pen.
, and he carved two more lines of small words!
——Today’s people don’t know the aspirations of the ancients;
——How can the ancients see the modern people?
"Hahaha, bullshit, it's so untidy."
Liu Shuzhu laughed heartily and laughed at himself, but for some reason, after writing two sentences, his heart returned to peace.
Around his body, many essences floating between heaven and earth suddenly emerged. As if being inexplicably attracted, they rushed to various parts of his body.
The rest of the people were extremely frightened!
Yichen was the first to wake up, looking at Liu Shuzhu's lonely back, he bowed his head and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for your advancement."
He...has advanced.
Just because of two sentences.
The eighth level of the innate world is the realm of 'original soul'. At this level, innate warriors begin to cultivate their soul power. Although for Liu Shuzhu, there is no obvious difference in the innate realm. He just feels that the essence is becoming more mellow, but he can
Increasing strength is always satisfying. Compared with the little monk Ruzhen who advanced while sleeping, his skills are not bad at all!
Liu Shuzhu took the lead and the group followed him towards the city.
But before entering the city, a large group of people came out in a mighty manner and blocked the city gate completely!
One person walked directly in front of Liu Shuzhu, looked at him to the end, and said respectfully: "Welcome the Bodhisattva to reincarnate into the city. Your Majesty the City Lord invites you."
‘Whoop’.
The ground in the city was covered with red carpets, which spread along the stone road to the deepest part of the city.
