Lord of Deception

"Old Yang, don't tell me that the missing Dadui is here?" Yu Ziqing looked horrified.

"This must be Dadui. I may not know about other things. There is very little information about Dadui.

Dinghai City, only Dadai had ever used this naming method for a city.

I have not read the part about Yinhu in the records of Datui, but I have read the part about Datui in the records of Yinhu. "

"What's recorded?"

"The origin of Silver Lake." Lao Yang looked solemn and typed after recalling for a moment.

"In the eighty-eighth year of Ding Mao, strange fire fell from the sky, thousands of miles of scorched earth, and countless people were burned to death.

The strange fire is treacherous, the rain does not extinguish it, the wind does not extinguish it. Some gods and men came from the South China Sea and dropped strange treasures in the valley.

The Milky Way fell to the ground, blocked its path, extinguished its fire, and turned into a silver lake to remain in the world. "

"Then what's the situation over there now?" Yu Ziqing continued.

“Now I have seen thousands of miles of scorched earth, countless evil ghosts, filled with resentment and misery, and I have also seen the Silver Lake that is still forming.

That's the scene in the record.

The immeasurable water of the silver lake washed down, forcibly suppressing the fire, extinguishing the thousands of miles of flames.

Now this place has not completely turned into the true appearance of Silver Lake. "

Yu Ziqing thought about it.

"You mean, you are experiencing a scene from the past, but you are very sure that it is Da Dui and it is real?"

Yu Ziqing didn't say it clearly, but it probably meant that you were okay?

In this case, everyone would think it was fake, right?

"If it were something else, I might have thought it was an illusion, but this one from Da Dui might actually be real.

You are in Dinghai City, right? You are waiting there. I need to make sure.

If this is indeed Dadui, then Dinghai City should be in the southeast of Dadui, and it should not be particularly far from Silver Lake.

You will know then. "

Lao Yang went offline in a hurry, and Yu Ziqing didn't know why.

They came here for the Sealed Artifact, and then appearing here was already weird enough.

But Lao Yang said that this is Dadui, and there is a high probability that it is not an illusion, but is real.

He didn't understand why this was a big mistake and how it became real.

He couldn't understand, but Yu Ziqing still chose to believe Lao Yang.

Lao Yang has always been very accurate in his words. If he is unsure, he will clearly say he is not sure, and if he does not know, he will say he does not know, but if he is sure, he will not hesitate.

Looking at Lao Yang, he was obviously very sure.

When he stayed in Dinghai City, he kept his ears open every day, listening to the people talking on the streets and learning the dialects of the people here.

Watching and studying, he can already understand a lot of daily conversations, but speaking is a problem. The pronunciation of some words feels very awkward to him.

It was peaceful here. He was not aware of the thousands of miles of scorched earth that Lao Yang mentioned, and no one in the city mentioned it.

There are still so many merchants and pedestrians coming and going.

After studying for a few days, when Yu Ziqing went downstairs to see the innkeeper, he asked vaguely about the fire. The innkeeper had no impression of it and said that there had been no fire in Dadui for a long time, and Chidi Qianli had not seen any fires. Never had.

Because of the location of Dadui, there are intertwined water veins and a lot of rain. Because there is too much water vapor, there are even a few months every year that are extremely humid.

They need to control floods every year, and they have never worried about droughts, fires, or anything like that.

The shopkeeper heard Yu Ziqing's accent and felt that he was not a local. Before he asked anything, Yu Ziqing confused him by saying that his hometown had experienced a drought in Chidi Qianli.

So the shopkeeper enthusiastically introduced the customs and customs of Dadui for a long time.

Dadui... Dadui...

After Yu Ziqing could roughly understand what people here said, the frequency of this word was extremely high.

It seems that people here have a very high sense of identification with Dadui.

…

The old sheep walked on the charred earth. As the water from the Silver Lake came up from the sky and suppressed the fire, some life began to emerge on the charred earth.

It's just that the pervasive resentment, evil spirit, murderous spirit, and death spirit persist for a long time, coupled with the ghosts everywhere, making this place thousands of miles away, like a ghost.

Lao Yang was traveling very fast, with Silver Lake as a reference point.

Even if the mountains and rivers of the past had changed, they would not have changed beyond recognition.

Coupled with Dadui's unique naming method, knowing the name of a city can roughly guess the approximate location of the city.

It's not particularly difficult to find.

However, a few days later, when Lao Yang stood under the gate of Dinghai City, he looked at the name on the gate and sighed.

The surroundings were still dilapidated, with no mountains or forests visible, and scorch marks everywhere.

Entering Dinghai City, the city was empty, filled with resentment, and the entire city was gray and black.

Burnt black and gray ashes, after falling again, covered everything with a layer of gray.

The city was deathly quiet, and the silence was so despairing.

Lao Yang closed his eyes and started to contact Yu Ziqing.

"I have already entered Dinghai City, and I am standing at the west gate, where I just entered the city gate."

"I'm also here in Xicheng, not far from Xicheng Gate, in an inn on the main road."

"No, you can't see me even when you come here. Let me show you what I saw."

Lao Yang was too lazy to describe it. He stretched out his hand and created a picture.

The city was filled with blackness and deathly silence, and one could vaguely see that it was the avenue leading in from the city gate.

You can vaguely see a collapsed tall building not far away, and you can also see some traces of the past.

Yu Ziqing's face froze. He didn't recognize anything else, but he recognized the collapsed tall building.

It was the inn where he was staying now. The remaining corners were burnt into black withered beasts, just like the ones outside his window.

But the one outside his window still looked intact and new.

"What's going on? Didn't you say this is not an illusion, but real?"

"It is indeed real, and we are in the sealed object. Everything you see now are all sealed things."

"Um?"

Lao Yang sighed, with a hint of admiration in his tone.

“Many things in Datui have disappeared, and many records have not been recorded, but there are still some things that are really too famous and have been recorded.

Just like Silver Lake, it is not recorded under the record of Da Dui, but in the record under Silver Lake, Da Dui appears.

When recording other things, some things inevitably catch up with Dadu and cannot be avoided.

Just like the sealing technique, many people today only know the second name of sealing.

In fact, this is just because the two surnames of Seal have been passed down from ancient times to today, and they have become the most famous.

Before that, there was Dadui.

Many of Daqian's records related to seals, and the contents inside them, were inherited from Dadui.

From the tip of the iceberg, we can already vaguely see how powerful Dadui was back then.

They have strong men and talents in large numbers, and their sealing skills combined with the magical weapons of the gods and the luck of the gods have reached the point of perfection. "

After Lao Yang sighed, he said in a somewhat complicated tone.

“Their sealing techniques can even seal disasters that cannot be solved for a while.

Waiting to slowly find a solution later, then unlock the seal and resolve the disaster. "

"???"

Yu Ziqing's head was filled with questions.

Then, he reacted very quickly and immediately thought of something.

"You don't mean to say that Dadui actually did not solve the disaster of strange fire falling from the sky and thousands of miles of scorched earth. Even if it caused the sky to fall on the Milky Way, it actually did not completely solve it. It could only completely seal the disaster. Bar?"

"Yes, I wasn't very sure at first, because there are no records with Da Dui as the protagonist.

Everything I know about Dadui was found in documents that recorded other things.

Now that I came to Dinghai City, I didn’t see you, but I only saw the scorched earth all over the city.

I'm absolutely sure.

The disaster of strange fire has not disappeared yet and is still sealed. "

Yu Ziqing's face looked a little ugly.

"This means that you have entered a sealed disaster.

And I also entered a sealed disaster.

The disaster has already happened on your side, but it hasn't happened on my side yet. "

"Yes." Lao Yang responded.

Yu Ziqing covered his face and his head suddenly felt heavy.

The disaster that allowed Da Dui to seal it was still not resolved after Da Dui was gone.

Whether it is resolved or not is actually secondary.

Whether he can withstand the impact of disaster is the most important thing.

On Lao Yang's side, it was already a scene after the fire burned. The evil ghosts and resentment all over the ground could not hurt Lao Yang at all.

But on his side, there is still a peaceful atmosphere in the city.

It was crowded with people and businessmen.

How can he survive the impact of disaster?

"I'm here. Unless I break the seal, it's impossible for me to help you. I don't know what you will encounter there, and I don't have any relevant information.

However, I can give you a look at the current situation here, which will be helpful to you. "

The old sheep reflected a picture, and Yu Ziqing wrote down all the charred pictures without missing any detail.

"I'm going to get ready first."

Yu Ziqing came back from the seventh floor and came to the window, looking at the corners of the eaves outside and the things carved on them.

He pondered for a moment, walked out of the window, and came to the top of the tall building of the inn, overlooking everything around him.

Compare it one by one with the pictures given by Lao Yang.

Soon, Yu Ziqing found the same thing in several places. Some things could still remain even after the fire, especially the buildings.

Yu Ziqing silently calculated that even if it was rebuilt after being burned down, it would be impossible for so many places to be exactly the same.

At least the timeline can be determined.

His disaster happened before the strange fire disaster on Lao Yang's side.

And the disaster on his side should not be a large-scale impact like the strange fire disaster, a disaster that destroys the heaven and earth.

Otherwise, things that have been destroyed will not still exist in Lao Yang's time period.

It wasn't a fire disaster, a meteorite falling from the sky, or some mighty force that suddenly emerged and razed this place to the ground.

In this case, at least it is not without resistance.

As for other disasters, his physical training was not in vain.

Continuing to speculate, it is not very destructive to the city and the surrounding built environment, but it can be called a disaster and seal it.

That should be a disaster for people.

What will happen is that many, many people will die here and cause great losses.

It is also possible that if the disaster is not sealed, the subsequent losses will be even greater.

After completing the speculation, Yu Ziqing left Dinghai City with Lou Huai, flew directly into the sky, and flew away outside.

After flying hundreds of miles, when Yu Ziqing saw Dinghai City suddenly appearing directly in front of him, he knew that he could not run away.

Looking back, there is also Dinghai City behind, and the perspective is exactly the same.

Taking another step forward, Dinghai City is still there in front. Looking back, the scene behind has become a wilderness.

However, Yu Ziqing understood that the wilderness was a map that he could not get through, and it was not within the scope of the map at all.

He can only move within this sealed area.

Unless he is strong enough to break the seal directly, he will have no choice but to survive the disaster that happened here.

His disaster shouldn't be big. Unlike Lao Yang's, the disaster map can be reached directly from Silver Lake to Dinghai City.

After comparing the size of the map, Yu Ziqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He should be able to handle it.

It's right to think about it. When Dadui sealed each disaster, it wasn't to deceive people.

Even if everyone is separated and dispersed into one disaster after another, the first prerequisite is to resolve the disaster.

When dividing, he can't be allowed to go into Lao Yang's strange fire disaster.

As soon as he landed and looked up, he saw a strange fire falling from the sky and igniting thousands of miles.

He didn't even have to run, so how could he resolve the disaster?

The original purpose is different, and the results are naturally different.

After guessing this, Yu Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s not that there is no solution at all, just being crushed to death when they meet.

Without rushing back to Dinghai City, Yu Ziqing ran around the entire disaster map and measured that it was only a few hundred miles in radius.

And besides Dinghai City, there is no second city.

He then returned to Dinghai City, chatting with people on the street like a gangster every day, listening to people tell scattered stories about this place and about Dadui.

He also drank and bragged with some monks, and felt the harmonious coexistence of monks and mortals here. Yu Ziqing quite liked it here.

There is no sense of separation between monks and mortals here.

After waiting for a full month, there was still nothing strange.

Yu Ziqing squatted near the West City Gate with one finger. The place where he appeared was just outside the West City Gate, and this was where he came in.

The probability of something strange happening here will be much higher.

"Brother, I smell it." Lou Huai, who was following him, eating, drinking and listening to others' bragging, suddenly spoke.

Yu Ziqing looked solemn and put down the tea bowl.

"What smell did you notice?"

"The smell of the devil." Lou Huai took a deep breath, and then pointed at the city gate.

Yu Ziqing saw a young man wearing only a vest with his arms exposed. After entering the city gate, he immediately covered his stomach and ran to the side.

"That's how he smells."

Yu Ziqing dropped a small piece of broken silver and disappeared in a flash.

He appeared on the roof of a house, overlooking the young man not far away, holding his stomach and rushing to a small alley on the side.

Seeing that no one could see him, the young man immediately took off his pants and squatted down. After a burst of gunfire, he relaxed his brows.

Yu Ziqing's eyes suddenly opened, and he saw an undetectable trace of black energy coiling around the young man's abdomen.

And the filth he pulled out was even more filled with black energy and extremely rich.

When the young man left, a yellow dog in the distance seemed to have smelled the food and wanted a warm meal.

However, the next moment, a ball of flames was seen falling from the sky, burning the land there to ashes.

Wisps of black energy swirled in the red flames, seeming to want to fly out in all directions.

Yu Ziqing stretched out his hand, and a black flame flew out from his fingertips, burning all the black energy into nothingness.

And Lou Huai had already brought over the young man who had just left.

The young man's expression changed slightly and he said.

"What are you going to do? Let me go."

"Brother, I understand. That strange smell should be the smell of illness. That guy didn't dare to enter the city at all, so he used a little force to fall on this young man and asked him to bring him in.

If the eldest brother hadn't ignored it just now, it would have spread very quickly, and by then everyone in the city would be dead. "

Yu Ziqing nodded and looked at the young man.

"I'm a doctor. How many days have you had diarrhea?"

"One... one day." The young man didn't understand anything else, but he understood the devil's magic words, and immediately understood that his illness was caused by the devil.

"Did you see anyone outside the city? Or did you eat something?"

"I didn't see anyone. I just ate a few green fruits in the woods outside the city. They may not be ripe yet..."

"Well, you're okay." Yu Ziqing put the young man down and patted his shoulder: "Let's go."

The young man was doubtful. After turning around, he saw Yu Ziqing stretching out a hand and grabbing the young man in the air. The trace of black energy remaining in his abdomen was forcibly pulled out and burned into nothingness.

"Come on, let's go take a look."

Yu Ziqing walked out of the city and felt relieved.

If it is a disease that can cause diarrhea and is contagious, judging from the urine of the young man urinating everywhere, it is estimated that it will spread quickly in the city, and even faster if it pollutes the water source.

It makes sense that Dadui didn't solve it at the time and directly sealed the disaster.

After all, letting that kind of demon escape will have a great impact indeed, and many people will die.

However, the devil...

ha.

If it is a demon, then there is at least hope that the matter will be resolved.

He won't be trapped and die here.

"Lou Huai, tell me everything you know about the disease."

"Brother, I think it's better to be careful. In my inheritance, the disease monsters are all insidious guys who never attack directly. Most of the time, he doesn't even have demonic energy on him."

"Well, it's better to be careful. Let's go check it out first. If we find it, we can trick him first. It's best to kill him with one blow."
