Chapter 255 Magic Tide
Jing Congyun could naturally guess the real purpose of Lu Chuan and others' trip to Jingguo.
The big problem that hung over Utopia was quickly solved after Lu Chuan appeared. Anyone who pays attention to this matter can easily think that Lu Chuan's golden finger played an important role.
Jing Congyun also has some speculations about how Lu Chuan used the golden finger to solve the Chosen Sorrow, and how he determined that what they were looking for was in Jingguo.
He had read some fantasy fairy tales and science fiction novels about Blue Star, and combined with the abilities of the chosen ones that had already appeared, he had considered several situations.
First, Lu Chuan has the ability of cause and effect. He can pay a certain price or even make a wish at no cost. If he has such ability, it seems that it is a smooth matter to prevent the time travel, but it seems that they are coming to Jingguo this time.
Some of them don't correspond.
Jing Congyun also considered the rumored ability of time and space in Utopia. This ability may not necessarily be fake, but Jing Congyun suspected that Lu Chuan’s ability was not to retrace time and space scenes, but to roam in time and space. Not only could he go back along the long river of time,
You can also see the future.
This would explain why Lu Chuan knew that the destination was in Jingguo, perhaps because he had seen all this in the foreseeable future.
Of course, Jing Congyun also doubted whether Lu Chuan had the ability to detect information, similar to the concept of an omniscient person or prophet in novels. However, Jing Congyun himself rejected such an idea.
According to Zhao Wuya, Zhao Wuya almost accidentally killed Lu Chuan a few months ago. If he was truly an omniscient person, how could he not have foreseen the danger and put himself in such a dangerous situation?
What is clear is that Lu Chuan has demonstrated his ability twice. The first time was when Lu Chuan probed Zhao Wuya from the air a few months ago, which made Zhao Wuya furious.
The other time was when Lu Chuan discovered gods in Zhao Wuya's yard a few days ago, and Jing Congyun had experienced the state of immortality personally. If the two cases are connected, Lu Chuan's ability should be of the perceptual detection type. Maybe he
The missing child can be sensed and confirmed to be in Jingguo.
But it is difficult to explain how this ability prevents time travel, and perception-type abilities do not seem to have such a high need for confidentiality.
Therefore, Jing Congyun has reason to suspect that Lu Chuan is even more special. He does not only have one ability, but is a chosen person with multiple special abilities at the same time. This way many things can be explained.
Jing Congyun sometimes wonders whether the group of chosen people in Utopia are really protected by the way of heaven, otherwise how could a person appear by such a coincidence and solve the problem of the chosen people so perfectly.
This was the reason why he was particularly curious about Lu Chuan's golden finger. Therefore, even though he guessed that Lu Chuan and the others must have come here with the mission of fighting the Chosen One, he had no intention of making any small moves to interfere with and stop the opponent behind his back.
On the contrary, he was very interested in this rescue. On the one hand, he thought that he might be able to observe Lu Chuan using his golden finger. On the other hand, he also wanted to know the current condition of the children who had been transported through time.
This may also help the world understand more about these visitors from another world. After all, the time travelers always replace children with higher talents and better looks, and they are also an invisible threat to the native residents of this world.
No one knows when the third batch of chosen people will come. When the first two time-travels occurred, the world didn’t know much about them. If there is another time-travel event, what will happen?
Congyun will definitely find a way to secretly control a group of time-travelers.
So when Jiao Beichuan said goodbye to him, Jing Congyun took the initiative to ask them if they needed any help this time. As long as they were in Jingguo, he would be able to help more or less.
Naturally, Jiao Beichuan declined. After Jiao Beichuan and others left Qingjuan and headed north, Jing Congyun notified Muping County in the north of Qingjuan to stand ready and pay attention to the movements in the air. Xia Shuo, the acting city lord who was waiting in Luminous City at the moment, naturally did the same.
After receiving arrangements in advance, we waited at the city gate.
Xia Shuo came to pick him up generously, not concealing the fact that Lu Chuan and his party were all within Jing Congyun's sight during this trip. Jiao Beichuan did not hesitate, smiled on his face, and immediately held the hand of the acting city lord.
.
Long before Utopia set off, they had discussed whether to come to Jingguo this time openly or secretly, considering that the cost of being invisible and disguising themselves was relatively high, and that a large number of powerful people in Utopia secretly sneaked into Jingguo without informing them in advance.
In the end, everyone chose to go with the envoys because of the serious consequences if they were exposed and discovered.
Since he chose to enter Jingguo in an open and honest manner, it was also the right thing for Jingguo to warmly entertain the distinguished guests from friendly countries.
"City Lord Xia looks very young. He has taken the position of Lord of a city at such a young age. His Majesty Emperor Jing must have great faith in City Lord Xia."
Xia Shuo prepared a banquet at the city lord's palace, and Jiao Beichuan did not refuse the other party's invitation. As soon as he arrived at the banquet, Jiao Beichuan took the initiative to chat with the other party, and his words were very polite.
"Minister Jiao, you are too flattering. It's a fluke that Xia can become the acting city lord. On the contrary, Xia heard that Mr. Lu Chuan, a 16-year-old prodigy from Utopia, defeated the Chu family's Thousand Mile Sword yesterday. He was really shocked.
Gorgeous."
Xia Shuo complimented Lu Chuan while talking to Jiao Beichuan.
In fact, he is only 29 years old this year, a few years older than Chu Shanhai. The Xia family and the Chu family are both the leaders of the twelve families of Jingguo. They are also die-hard supporters of Jing Congyun. Both of them used to be in Qingjuan Dynasty.
Occasionally they would compete with each other and learn from each other, so naturally they knew that Chu Shanhai was not an ordinary person.
Lu Chuan was tired of the banquets at Jingguo these days. Every time they came up, they were greeted with polite greetings, and then they kept testing each other during the dinner. Faced with such entertainment, Lu Chuan just said a few perfunctory words, and then just ate while eating.
Listen to Jiao Beichuan demonstrate how to socialize.
He first talked to Xia Shuo about the celebration of Qingjuan City. Xia Shuo did not go to Qingjuan because he was the acting city lord, so Jiao Beichuan told him about the grand scene of that day and shared some photos with him.
After talking about the celebration, Jiao Beichuan then talked about the future cooperation between Jingwu and Wuhan. Xia Shuo is a young man and is very receptive to new things. At the same time, he also regrets that the airport and banks will not be repaired in a short time.
He went to Luminous City, and now that he was the acting city lord, the opportunity to study abroad was unlikely to fall to him.
Xia Shuo himself came with a mission, and Jing Congyun told him that if he had the opportunity, he should try to join Lu Chuan's team to assist and observe and record.
At the same time, he also has some small thoughts of his own. The benefits of cooperation with Utopia are visible to the naked eye. Luminous City is a coastal city and has its own seaport. Although it is smaller, if Utopia's sea trade ships can choose this place more often,
The benefits that this means are of course self-evident.
"City Lord Xia, I can't make the final decision on trade matters. To be honest, Zhenhai City in Jinmen County has the largest seaport on the north coast of Jingguo, and it is also the first trade center designated by Congyun. Besides, you should also
Knowing that the risk of sea trade is much higher than that of land transport, our caravans rarely set foot on the section from Zhenhaicheng to Luminous City.
We are new here and don’t know much about Luminous City. Maybe you can tell us about the specialties or other advantages of Luminous City so that we can have something to talk about when we go back."
Xia Shuo had something to ask for, and Jiao Beichuan also wanted to get some information from him.
"Of course there are specialties in Luminous City. The most famous thing here is the Luminous Stone, which is as famous as Tianhe Sand. Luminous Stone is a unique spiritual stone bred in this world. It is more suitable for spiritual practice than ordinary Yuan Stone. It is also used for refining magic weapons.
precious materials.
In addition, there are blue water dragon fish, night dark grass, Zhidao chalcedony red gold fruit, silver leaf crab and other products. They are all specialties of our Luminous City. You may also be able to buy a small amount in other places in Jingguo, but the price will definitely be higher.
It’s much higher than in Luminous City.”
Xia Shuo paused inexplicably when he mentioned Zhidao Chalcedony, but immediately went on to introduce it. Jiao Beichuan was thoughtful and then asked,
"City Lord Xia, I might as well be honest. Just before we entered the city, we felt a sense of discomfort outside the city. After entering the city, this feeling disappeared. Therefore, let alone business transactions, even if there are so many of us this time
Now, I am also worried about the safety of Night Light City."
Lu Chuan, who was eating, also looked up in surprise, feeling that Jiao Beichuan's question was a bit too direct.
When Xia Shuo heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "The discomfort you mentioned comes from the demonic tide. In recent years, the demonic tide has indeed become the biggest hidden danger restricting the development of Luminous City. When the demonic tide is strong, our demon-sealing array cannot be used at all."
Without restraint, the monks near the God Burial Cave can no longer control the vitality in their bodies, and the sect families near Luminous City have also gradually moved away from the vicinity of the God Burial Cave."
Demon Tide? God Burial Cave? No, it doesn’t matter if there are gods in this world, but also demons?
Xia Shuo didn't know that Jiao Beichuan had used his ability on him, the ability to insert thoughts into other people's minds, and was called the God of Other Gods by the young generation in Utopia.
Under Jiao Beichuan's guidance, he had a pleasant conversation with Jiao Beichuan, and he also revealed a lot of secret information.
Compared with the real existence of gods, demon is just a fictitious concept, and the demon tide is naturally just a name used by people near Luminous City. No one can determine the reason for its appearance, but it can be confirmed through perception that the demon tide originated from Xia Shuo
The God Burial Cave in the mouth.
The God Burial Cave has been rumored since ancient times to be the place where gods are buried. The specialty Zhidao Chalcedony mentioned by Xia Shuo was produced in the God Burial Cave.
The God Burial Cave is bottomless. From ancient times to the present, it is said that 99% of the people who have entered the Demon Burial Cave have died without burial. The remaining 0.10% have barely come back alive, but they have also been contaminated by demonic energy.
, you will never be able to practice again for the rest of your life.
Xia Shuo should not tell the information related to Zhidao Chalcedony. This special liquid is the most poisonous thing in the world. After a monk drinks a drop, his path will be broken and his spiritual roots will wither. It is harmful to the monks.
Sometimes it is more terrifying than deadly poison, but such a terrifying poison is the main material for refining the heaven-level elixir, the Life and Death Pill.
Whether it is used as a harmful poison or as the main material of heaven-level elixirs, Zindao chalcedony is extremely precious. And because it is produced in the God Burial Cave, it also has the effect of cutting off people's paths, so it is named "Devil Water"
, which means the road is one foot high and the devil is one foot high.
Zhidao chalcedony is produced in the God Burial Cave, and 99% of the people who enter the God Burial Cave are dead. This creates a cycle that continuously increases the value of Zhidao Chalcedony. Therefore, the Burial God Cave has been famous in nearby states and counties since ancient times.
The "sin-washing cave".
A monk who has violated the law or offended a large family can choose to be buried in the sacred cave to obtain the chalcedony of Zhidao to atone for his crime.
If he dies and is buried in the cave of the gods, he will sleep with the gods. If he is lucky enough to get the chalcedony of Zhidao and come back, even though he is contaminated by demonic energy and can no longer practice, the gods will not accept his life.
Chalcedony can survive.
The chalcedony that stops the path in the God Burial Cave is called magic water, so the air in the God Burial Cave that can affect the monks' vitality and path is naturally called demonic energy, and in certain years, the demonic energy erupts from the God Burial Cave.
It came out like a tidal wave, and gradually became known as a demonic tide.
No matter how good Zhidao Chalcedony is, the people of Jingguo will not let the demons surge and affect the surrounding cities. Therefore, as early as decades ago, Jingguo's extraordinary array masters set up a demon-sealing array here to stop the demonic tide.
spillover.
The demon-sealing array has achieved good results for decades, but in recent years the situation has changed. The period of strong demon tides is dozens of times more frequent than before, and there will be a small outbreak almost every few days.
The demonic tide surged out of the cave entrance, and nearby cities issued many relocation orders.
After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Lu Chuan and his party all had worried looks on their faces. The God Burial Cave they have learned so far is very similar to the results of Lu Chuan's divination. The bottomless means that it is probably below the sea level, not in the water, but in the night light.
within the city.
Judging from what we have learned initially today, the God Burial Cave is a place that is more equal than a Utopia. All monks are treated equally. After encountering the so-called demonic tide, the vitality in the body will lose control, and the Tao and divine will will fall into chaos or even chaos.
collapse.
Cheng Guanxue made a guess in order to ease the atmosphere. In the evening, everyone felt unwell. Only Tang Chen said he didn't feel anything at all. It was probably because Tang Chen was the only one in the group who had not yet enlightened.
Tang Chen naturally protested vehemently, saying that he had felt uncomfortable before, and that he didn't feel it just to comfort everyone. In short, it was definitely not because he was not enlightened that he was discriminated against by the demon tide.
However, the others did not participate in the banter as usual, and their expressions were all solemn.
But Lu Chuan spent his two questions today in the morning to determine the target of this trip in Luminous City. If he wanted to further judge the situation, he could only wait until after midnight.
