Lord of the people, I became the Skeleton King

After entering the city, Duo Lai asked people all the way, how did the city master see him?

Oh, go to the City Lord's Mansion to find him.

How should the city lord's mansion go?
In this way, after inquiring all the way, Dole walked along the avenue from the outer city to the inner city.

Since He Gu took over the city, the rule that residents from the outer city cannot enter the inner city has long been abolished. Now residents from the outer city can not only enter and leave the inner city freely, but if they save enough money, they can even buy real estate in the inner city. Live here.

It really broke the internal and external barriers and gave the people in the outer city a hope for their lives.

Walking along the way, looking at the bustling scene on the street, Dole seemed to have returned to Xianzhou, wandering around in his fertile territory.

Some people always say how bad this Yanzhou is, as if human beings can't survive here. Now it seems that it's all gossip. Although the temperature here is a bit high, the development is not bad.

Walking all the way to the city lord's mansion, Dole respectfully expressed his intention to the guards at the gate and wanted to meet the city lord, but his expectations fell through.

The mayor is not here!

Unfortunately, he was late, and the castellan left the castle two hours ago.

After Dole got the news, he was a little disappointed and asked the city lord what he was going to do, but they didn't know either.

No choice but to wait.

But he doesn't even know what the other party is going to do, so he has no way of guessing when the other party will come back. This kind of waiting without any expectation is very difficult for Dole. His loyal subjects are still waiting for him to rescue them. Woolen cloth!
Ugh.

~~
Time goes back to before Dole came to Red Tide City.

Ye Sheng is a [-]-year-old man who has lived in this bare land all his life.

What is meant by a lifetime is [-] years, not one year, one month, one day has walked out of this red land, and he has never set foot in other places.

This is called a lifetime!

In terms of understanding of this land, there are few people in the whole Chidi who are deeper than him.

The lifespan of a practitioner can be increased, and the stronger the cultivation base, the longer the lifespan and the longer one can live.

However, most of the practitioners fought endlessly, and many of them couldn't live to the end, so they died halfway.

Or they managed to live until they died of old age, but they didn't know much about the land under their feet because they were intoxicated in cultivation all their lives.

As for Ye Sheng, he has no cultivation and is just a first-order ordinary human. Compared with other people, he may have a little more strength, better resistance, and less illness, but he is still an ordinary person through and through.

In his life, all his attention has been on life itself, working hard, obtaining information, and making plans, just to survive in this hot place. Therefore, he knows a lot and can accept new news.

No, after learning that Scarlet Tide City was established, he immediately dragged his family here.

He has avoided countless calamities and calamities in his life, and he has already had a lot of experience. He keenly judged that this is a new opportunity for survival, so he immediately led his small family that had sprung up to move.

After discovering that the lord is really worried about the lives of his people and is really willing to lead them to a better life, he decided to meet the city lord and tell him a secret from the past. Maybe the city lord can completely solve Chidi , and even the climatic disasters in Yanzhou!
When he heard that a [-]-year-old man was looking for him, He Gu didn't hesitate too much and asked him to come in immediately.

The old man is over a hundred years old, but his legs and feet are agile and he does not need to use crutches. His eyes are large and clear without any cloudiness.

Although the skin on his face has become dry and old due to long-term exposure to the sun, he does not look like a centenarian at all in terms of his vigor and energy. In He Gu's opinion, he is at most 80 years old.

The old man was about to kneel when he met him, so He Gu immediately stopped him and said, "You don't need to kneel when you see me."

Then he asked him to sit down on the chair next to him.

Of course, He Gu can pretend to emphasize, come to say, "Zhen" or "the Lord of the city", but still for that reason, he doesn't like it, just like he doesn't like others kneeling down on him.

Or 'I' is more suitable for him.

Ye Sheng was very happy to be treated so courteously by the city lord. He felt that he was taken seriously. After sitting down, he said immediately.

"My lord, the old man's name is Ye Sheng. I came here this time to talk to you about something. The old man sees that you are very kind to the people, and you want to lead us to live a good life. But the terrible weather in Chidi, Even if it is enough to eat, some people will die of heat every year, if the climate is not resolved, it will be absolutely impossible to develop to a very good level."

Although Ye Sheng is old, he is not confused at all, and immediately pointed out the bottleneck of development.

This Red Tide City can accommodate 20 people, this number is of course huge.

However, it is not easy to fill this place.

The ghost climate here, except for the humans in Chidi, the creatures in other places can't adapt at all, unless they are people with advanced cultivation bases. However, the creatures with high cultivation bases can live well everywhere, and there will be a few people who travel far and wide Run to the old place.

Therefore, although Hegu's Chitide City has gained a little reputation in the entire Eastern Continent, most of the people who have come to seek refuge recently are Chidi humans, at most they are the creatures of Yanzhou.

Of course he knew about this kind of thing. Thinking that the old man came all the way to find him, he naturally didn't just want to talk about it, so he immediately asked.

"Old man, is there a solution to this climate problem?"

"My lord, I dare not say the solution, but the old man has some news here, which may help you."

Speaking of this, Ye Sheng paused for a moment, acting like he was thinking. He didn't want to think about it on the spot, but just sorted out his words, "This Chidi, there was such a legend 200 years ago, that there was an uninhabited man in the center of Chidi. The land of qi, there lives a god, he is the source of all changes, before he came, here was a green ocean, just like Xianzhou, it was a land flowing with honey."

"But then I don't know why, no one mentioned this matter again. In the last days of my life, my grandfather chatted with me all day long, and told me this secret by accident. The strange thing is, I only listened to it once, and then I firmly grasped it. Keep it in mind."

"I heard it as a story at the time, because I had never heard of it before. There really is such a god, and everyone who hasn't told it knows it. Although I don't believe it, this matter is like a seed. In my heart left a root in my heart.”

He Gu listened quietly, instead of urging the old man to get straight to the point, he chose to listen and express his respect for the old man's ups and downs in life.

It's normal for the other party to live for so long and have accumulated a lot of stories, so they have a strong desire to tell.

"Originally I just listened to this incident as a story, but then when I was 40 years old, I lost my way due to a sandstorm and walked to the no-man's land in the center of Chidi. As I walked, I found that the wind was getting weaker and weaker. , At that time, the wind was blowing from the northwest, and it seemed to be blocked by some invisible thing, which happened to be between me and the wind.”

"I walked towards the northwest and walked about ten meters. Suddenly, I felt a slight feeling of breaking out of the cocoon, as if I was squeezed out of something, but after thinking about it, it should feel squeezed in."

"The moment I entered, suddenly I couldn't hear a sound, the wind, the footsteps, I couldn't hear anything, even, I couldn't breathe immediately!"

Speaking of this, Ye Sheng's skinny face still showed a trace of fear, as if recalling the terrible experience at that time.

"That feeling is not the feeling of being strangled by someone. My whole body is normal, but no matter how hard I try to inhale, I just can't breathe a little bit of air. I thought I was caught by an evil spirit and I was going to die there. Now, when my legs go limp and I fall back, I feel like I’m passing through something again, and I can breathe again.”

"At this time, the story my grandfather told me when I was a child came back to my mind instantly. I remembered the word my grandfather mentioned, 'a land without air'. I didn't know why it was called a land without air until that day."

He Gu was just listening quietly at first, but when the old man talked about it, his curiosity was actually aroused.

After Ye Sheng got old, he couldn't do heavy work. In order to be able to do something, he told stories to the children every day for fun. After going back and forth, the level of narration has really improved.

Why couldn't help but ask, "Then what happened later?"

"Later, I held my breath and walked in several times, but I didn't see anything. I didn't breathe long enough, and I had to come back to take a breath after walking for a while. After trying a few times, I saw no results, so I gave up."

"My lord, what I think is that since the airless land really exists, the story passed down by my grandfather may also be true... However, all this depends on the decision of the lord, the old man just came to tell the lord Let me see if I can help you a little bit."

When Ye Sheng was telling the story, he was engrossed and used the title "I" unconsciously. After the story was finished, he concentrated his energy on wording and called himself an old man again.

But why didn't he pay attention to these details, his thoughts at this time were all captured by Ye Sheng's story, if what the other party said was true, then this airless place is really worth a visit.

"Old Ye, do you still remember the specific location of the airless land?" He Gu has always respected those who can make contributions, and directly called Ye Sheng as Ye Lao.

"My lord, the old man still remembers! After that, I went there seven times. Even if I die in this life, I will never forget it!"

Ye Sheng's tone was also very excited. After getting old, the younger generation in the clan respected him, but that was the respect for the elders. He hadn't done anything worthy of others' praise for a long time. Today, the city lord said Ye Sheng Old, that is really worth dying for!

"Then please ask Mr. Ye to lead the way."

He Gu always made a decisive decision, so he simply had nothing to do today and left as soon as he said it, Ye Sheng has no problem.

In this way, He Gu took Zhumang, Ye Sheng and ten retinues, left the city lord's mansion, and headed for the airless land, disappointing Duolai who came here in high spirits.

~~
Why is the group of them all young and highly cultivated, it is not a problem to trek hundreds of kilometers in this desert, but Ye Shengyi has no cultivation and is over a hundred years old, so naturally he cannot be let go.

So, He Gu asked five two-headed horses to pull the cart and drive them out.

The carriage tires in this desert are not round, but oval. They are not crawlers, but they are similar to crawlers. They are flat and have a large contact area with the ground. Moving in the desert is like a sled sliding on snow. There is no need at all. The look of sinking.

The two-headed horse has strong legs, and it doesn't look like it's struggling in the desert. It runs comfortably and naturally. The car is also very stable, without too many bumps, so the speed has always been very fast.

After driving the carriage for about three hours, Ye Sheng began to open his eyes wide, looking for nearby landmarks.

"My lord, there are a lot of large stones near the airless land, scattered, most of them are broken, even the broken ones are very huge, the old man is really unimaginable, when they were intact, they were together What a magnificent building it must be! It may have once been the palace of the gods!"

Ye Sheng talked a lot along the way, and introduced some nearby scenery to He Gu.

"In addition to the large rubble, there is also a mirage of an oasis. I was attracted by that oasis at the time, so I ran in this direction in a panic, but ah... that mirage is evil!"

"I've lived in the desert for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen a fixed mirage! I've been here a few times, and he's always there, without any change!"

When he was in the City Lord's Mansion, Ye Sheng's narration seemed to be very detailed, but in fact, in order to explain the whole thing clearly as soon as possible, he still omitted a lot of information. Now on the road, he kept asking He Gu Pass more information.

A mirage of immobility.

Huge rubble in the boundless desert.

He Gu listened carefully, doubts arose unconsciously in his heart, "Old Ye, according to what you said, the sign near here is so strange, it stands to reason that countless people will notice here, and then accidentally break into the airless land, Why is this place not well-known so far?"

Ye Sheng groaned, and patted himself on the head, "My lord, look at my brain, I'm old and useless, I forgot to tell you such an important thing! This airless land is very strange, there is only a small piece of it. There is a place where you can walk in, this area is about two meters wide, except here, I have walked all around, and there is no place where you can walk in."

"It was also a coincidence that I walked there. If I go back to the past and do it again, I don't have the slightest confidence to go in."

As soon as Ye Sheng finished speaking, He Gu immediately thought of something - the door!

This airless place is like a person's home. To enter someone else's home, one has to step through a door. If one wants to enter just about anywhere, there will be a wall blocking it.

Why do you think this metaphor is very appropriate.

However, if it's just a high wall...it might not be able to stop him.

Ye Sheng is an ordinary person, jumping hard, the height from the ground is only more than one meter, but for practitioners like them, climbing over the wall is as easy as eating and drinking.

~~
The destination is here!

From a distance, why can you see the oasis that Ye Sheng mentioned, the oasis is not small, about one square kilometer, it looks very real, even if the back is close, there is still no blur, just like the real exactly the same.

Listening to Ye Sheng's narration along the way, Zhumang has long been fascinated, and can't wait to come here to experience it. At this time, seeing how magical this oasis is, Wuhu jumped out of the car with a sound, rushed in with big strides, and jumped , splashing a piece of yellow sand.

"Bah, bah, bah!" Zhumang came back disheartened while spitting out dirt, and said dejectedly, "Boss, this is fake!"

He Gu laughed angrily, "Oh, really, it's really surprising."

Ye Sheng obviously said on the way that it was a mirage, and this stunned young man wanted to "try the law by himself".

The subordinates who followed from the old place next to him all suppressed their laughter. This Zhumang can be called the devil king in the old place. If he laughs at him, he will be beaten with a sap!
The lessons summed up by countless people who have experienced it made them restrain themselves.

Zhumang was showing off his foolishness here, while Ye Sheng was not idle, carefully observing the location of the mirage and the gravel, and kept gesticulating with his hands, as if he was measuring the direction and looking for the location to go out.

While gesturing with his hands, his feet also moved, and soon, a voice of surprise came, "Master City Master, I found it!"

Ye Sheng hadn't been here for 20 years, and he seemed very excited to find the entrance so quickly.

In fact, he didn't have much confidence in himself during this trip. Before looking for He Gu, he just asked the younger generation in his family to bring dry food and came on foot to make sure that the gravel and mirage were still there.

After learning that they were still there, he went to find out why. He was not sure that he could still enter the airless land.

But after living for hundreds of years, what is he afraid of as an old man, reckless is over!
The entrance was found, but He Gu didn't go in directly. He wanted to verify his guess and see if there was a wall around here!

He found a direction different from Ye Sheng's, took off with a run-up, and jumped 40 meters high in one step, nearly a hundred meters away.

After landing... nothing happened.

Naturally, he pretended nothing had happened, and walked back with his head held high.

As long as he doesn't say anything and maintains his posture, his well-behaved and sensible subjects will naturally think of excuses for him.

Of course, except Zhumang, he looked at He Gu with a confused face, "Boss, what are you doing?"

He Gu said angrily, "Shut your mouth!"

He Gu took the lead and walked in the front. Several subordinates originally wanted to stop him and let the king walk behind, but when they thought that the sum of their own people was not enough for the king to kill alone, they gave up this plan. Let's drive and ride obediently.

He Gu walked into this legendary airless place, and suddenly, it felt like the whole world had stopped, as if time had stopped.

In the outside world, even in the desert, there will still be scenes of the wind blowing the yellow sand, making you feel that the world is dynamic and time flows.

Here, however, everything is motionless and silent.

Turning around behind him, he couldn't see anything, obviously Zhumang and the others were nearby.

What an amazing space.

He doesn't need to breathe, and has no influence in this world, so he can feel the wonder of the rules here.

However, this feeling of enlightenment was quickly broken, and a figure rushed in after him, grinning his teeth and breathing hard after entering, his appearance was ridiculous, who else could it be except Zhumang.

This guy is obviously handsome, but when he is not fighting, people will only notice his cheapness and stupidity, and forget his handsomeness.

Zhumang tried his best to say something to He Gu, but no sound came out. Judging from the shape of his mouth, it should be, "Boss, are you okay?"

As expected of Zhumang, he can still speak nonsense in a serious manner at this moment, and his performance is as stable as ever.

Why let the subordinates and Ye Sheng wait outside, after all, they are living beings, they need to breathe, and they can't help themselves if they follow in.

As for Zhumang... Heh, no matter whether this guy talks about it or not, he will definitely come in.

Zhumang grinned, jumped up and down for a while, and after about 3 minutes, he ran out of breath and hurried out.

Some people may think that a human being with a strong cultivation base can hold his breath for a long time, but this is not the case.

After a strong cultivation base, although the cardiopulmonary function has been strengthened in a surreal way, the ultra-high output power also means that a large amount of oxygen needs to be taken in. Therefore, the breath-holding time of the practitioner has not increased significantly, and it is not even as good as some experienced people. Ordinary people in training.

Zhumang is gone, and only Hegu is left here. Looking at this dead wasteland, he couldn't help feeling, "This place is really a forbidden place for living beings."

He Gu began to guess the setting intention of this airless place.

Originally, he thought that he was at home when he entered the door, but now, he changed his mind, maybe he broke through the first line of defense, and the rest is the second line.

Considering that it is a bit dangerous for one person, why did he summon all the ten sixth-order skeleton warriors staying in the skeleton space and move forward together.

The large number of people gave He Gu a lot of sense of security.

But he has a sense of security, and some people don't feel very safe.

"What... what's going on with this guy, doesn't he need to breathe?! Such a big man can't be an anaerobic creature!"

"And the sudden emergence of so many companions is not a bit too much. Is this the young and Dangerous boy who has seen too much! Don't look at what era it is, and still play brave and loyal brothers!"

Wang Defa grumbled hard, trying to alleviate his fear with this way of breaking his mouth. Not to mention, the effect was quite good. After a while of complaining, he calmed down and thought about ways to deal with these uninvited guests.

It has been stable here for hundreds of years, and two barriers have helped him block all dangers. Most people don't even know where his door opens, and those who happen to run in can't stay inside for a long time. There was no way to find him.

He thought that the good luck would last forever, but today, a few skulls broke in.

That being the case, if he wanted to protect himself, he could only pretend.

As the spirit of the oasis, it's no problem for him to act like a magic stick and frighten people.

He Gu took ten brothers and went all the way forward. They were all about the same level of cultivation, and they ran on the sandy ground like they were walking on flat ground. But even so, they still ran for 10 minutes before seeing anything different same scenery.

an oasis.

Exactly the same as the one outside.

Why did they get closer, and then walked in.

Stepping on the solid soil and grass under his feet, He Gu confirmed it.

Here is a real oasis!
