Notes on building a city in the immortal world

Hearing Jing Zhe's question, the atmosphere in the Xianji management office became a little more active.

Someone laughed directly:

"Little Jingzhe, isn't your technique of changing the subject too bad? We have discussed what is hidden in the last secret realm countless times, right?"

Although the other party said that, he also operated and used the fog mirror on the table again.

Maybe he was just looking for an excuse to verify whether the function of the fog mirror is perfect.

To everyone's relief, the foggy mirror didn't seem to be damaged. Although the fog that condensed into the mirror was a little loose, the image still appeared after all.

However, what the fog mirror shows is not any corner of the East China Sea Fairy Collection, but under the deep sea.

At first glance, it was a deep darkness.

Darker than a moonless night.

But all those present here are high-level monks who will not be deceived by appearances. Among them are even dragons who originally lived in the deep sea. Naturally, this darkness will not cause any hindrance to their vision.

They can see tiny algae swimming in the water waves like dust, and occasionally a star-like light drifts by, but behind that is usually an ugly anglerfish, or even more weird-looking fish, under their faint light Under the light, you can see the silhouette of a city roof in the depths of the ocean. It seems that there was once a city that was not lost to Xianji indulging in the deep sea, which makes people want to find out.

In the eyes of the monks, it was actually a large sea clam.

I don't know how many years these sea clams have grown, and they have formed such a large piece. The lower part has even become a fossil, and the upper part is still like a mouth, which keeps opening and closing with the flow of sea water. The soft meat inside is exposed, and the whole looks layered and dense, which can cause intensive phobia and make people have nightmares for several nights!

In this sea clam city, there are five strange locations.

They are located in five positions in the southeast, northwest, and middle. The sea clams there are stacked to resemble an altar according to the density, but the four 'altars' seem to have been attacked, leaving only four black holes.

The only intact one is the 'altar' in the middle.

There is a huge sea clam perched in the center of this 'altar'.

When the monk looked over, an adult orca just swam past the sea clam. It was considered a predator in the sea, but it was not half the size of the sea clam.

This sea clam is like other small sea clams, opening and closing its shell leisurely in the sea.

It's just that I don't know if it's because of its large size, its clam shell can't be opened very wide, and only a red light is faintly revealed from the cracks in its clam shell.

And together with that weird red light, there is also a thick tentacle with a huge sucker!

This tentacle suddenly rolled towards the killer whale above——

The killer whale obviously didn't expect this "sudden attack". It struggled vigorously and splashed a large piece of foam in the sea, but it was useless. It was dragged into the huge sea clam in just a moment.

When the foam dissipated, the clam shell was tightly closed again.

No red light, no tentacles.

The surroundings were as peaceful as if nothing had happened, only the darkness was shaking.

"This is the last 'Ancient Secret Realm'." The monk said in a fanatical tone.

They stared at the huge sea clam, not as if they were looking at a dangerous creature that had just devoured a killer whale, but as if they were looking at a vault with countless treasures locked in it.

Of course, their greed is justified.

"The first sea oyster spit out the sea, the second oyster gave birth to life, the third oyster concealed the secrets between heaven and earth, and the fourth oyster ended the war between immortals and demons." A female cultivator sang said in a tone.

However, it is obvious that these words do not belong to the civilization of cultivating immortals.

Basically, Xiuxian civilization is a terrestrial civilization, and naturally there will be no legends about the creation of life in the sea, and because ideograms can express more complex meanings with a few simple words, the legends expressed are usually not so cumbersome In terms of expression, it is more like a legend from other civilizations.

It's a pity that under the temptation of huge wealth, no one will study these.

The monks were only more interested in what was in the fifth sea clam.

"The fifth sea oyster, the last oyster contains treasures that can revive the world... right?" Jing Zhe said.

"I hate it, Master Jing Zhe, obviously no one else knows this matter better than you," the female cultivator who spoke just now deliberately said in a voice that made people's skin crawl, "You are the witness of this prophecy, right?"

"How can I remember clearly! That's all because I was in the egg!"

"Back then, we weren't even eggs!"

"Because you humans don't lay eggs at all!" Jing Zhe said.

Even though Jingzhe is very young, her seniority in the Dragon Clan is not young, because she was "born" before the Great War between Immortal and Demon, in the form of an egg, but it hatched too late, after going through It took thousands of years to crack the shell, so that the dragons thought the egg was a 'bad guy'.

And the "prophecy" they said was after the war between immortals and demons.

According to legend, after the war, all the creatures in the East China Sea had a dream.

Dream about sea clams.

They saw those clamshells create the world, create sea beasts and monsters, people get skills from the sea clams, and cultivate the Dao, then the war between immortals and demons broke out, sea monsters and spirit beasts participated in the battle, were driven back to the sea by real immortals, and gained countless wealth, but really The immortals couldn't take those treasures away, so they left them in the shells.

After the true immortals left this world, many people went down to the East China Sea to hunt for treasures.

They knocked open those sea clams one by one, and sure enough, they found a lot of things inside, and even the existence of the East Sea Fairy Collection was related to the third clam shell.

Because Jingzhe was born early, he can be regarded as the dragon who "personally" had that dream.

Although it was still an egg at that time, the memory of that dream is the clearest.

This is also the reason why it immediately thought of the clam shell when it saw the rail gun at the sky ferry.

But what Jing Zhe didn't say was that he was actually quite afraid of that clam shell.

In a dream that lasted thousands of years, what Jing Zhe dreamed was not only the treasure, but also the dream that after it got close to the huge clam shell, it was tightly grasped by the long tentacles and dragged into the clam shell. .

Several times, it almost really thought it was going to be eaten.

Fortunately, the sound of thunder interrupted the dream, Jing Zhe finally broke free from the terrifying dream.

Later, when Jingzhe joined the Donghai Market, he found that the monks here would not give their real names, but used the 24 solar terms as their code name. The original "Awakening of Insects" used this as its code name.

But even so, Jing Zhe was still troubled by that nightmare.

The influence of thousands of years of nightmares will not be eliminated so easily. Every time Jing Zhe dreams back at midnight, she always feels that she is trapped in a dark and narrow eggshell, being robbed of her life by that indescribable thing.

For this reason, it did not hesitate to learn the cultivation methods of the human race, just to get rid of the nightmares in sleep.

But whether it is a spirit beast or a monk, Jing Zhe understands that such fear is not conducive to its cultivation, and sooner or later it will become its inner demon, killing it when it advances.

In fact, it has been stagnant for a long time because of fear.

It's ridiculous to say, but the thunderous sound brought by Nangong Qin made her feel at ease, since that person would only bring about killing.

Because of this, Jing Zhe wanted to pry open the clam shell and end his nightmare, but he was also disturbed by it.

"Don't worry." Shuang Liang comforted Jing Zhe gently.

She is one of the few people who knows the nightmare of the Waking of Insects: "We have tried countless times, but we can't open that clam shell, and we may not be able to succeed this time!"

What consolation is this? !

"Then am I not the White Flower Spirit Stone?" Jing Zhe rolled his eyes.

"It's not a white flower! The degree to which the clam shell opens can best reflect the attack power." Shuang Jiang said.

After all, they have already used hundreds of methods to open the clam shell, and the results of each attack are recorded as a reference for the next time.

Almost all powerful instruments have done similar "experiments".

A half-charged railgun is a good measurement standard. Even if you can't crack the shell this time, you can know how much force is needed to open the shell according to the degree of opening of the shell.

Even so, people don't actually feel that they need the power to pierce the sky to open the clam shell.

In the history of Donghai Xianji, they once gathered nine Mahayana monks to attack together, and that time almost opened half of the clam shell, but because they were not prepared in advance to deal with the attack of the creature inside the clam shell Because of this, eight of the nine Mahayana cultivators perished in that event, which can be said to be a complete disaster.

"This time the magical weapon is attacking from a distance. With the enchantment of the city, the monster should not be able to hurt us! And I also invited a few high-level monks to help out, such as the head of the fairy sect, so it shouldn't be too late. Something will happen!"

Shuang Jiang said to Jing Zhe and others that she obviously regarded this time as a complete experiment.

But then she straightened her face and said in a frosty voice:

"Only the results of this 'experiment' can allow us to determine whether that person from Bailushan is a liar, and what we are going to do next! So! Before that, I hope that everyone will put their hands away, so that today's incident will not happen again. kind of thing!"

The monks present fell silent again.

Even if they each have their own stances behind them, after facing the previous losses, they still know that what Shuang Jiang said is right.

But some people muttered: "The kind of kid who has only lived for 200 years, maybe he doesn't know anything at all!"

Nangong Qin really didn't know anything.

He also didn't want to know.

Like a group of leeches, they will only stare at the weak guys who swarm up. It is meaningless to care about them. It is better to cherish the time with Yan'er.

What's more, something rare happened today that made Nangong Qin break into a cold sweat.

When Nangongqin returned to her room, she happened to see Zhenyan take out the jade slip from the storage bag.

"...That's my storage bag." Nangong Qin said.

"Ah," Zhenyan paused, and looked at the pattern on the storage bag: "Sorry, I didn't notice it!"

In fact, Zhenyan's storage bag was also given by Nangongqin.

And Nangong Qin is very straight when buying things. Anyway, he finds what he needs and takes it away, so he bought a bunch of similar-looking storage bags like a wholesaler and came back. It's no wonder Zhenyan made a mistake.

Zhenyan wanted to stuff the jade slip back: "I didn't mean to see your things from my ancestor."

What Zhenyan originally wanted to take was the batch of jade slips he found at the bottom of the well.

He had always read that as a novel.

Later, I found that some "teaching materials" were quite useful, so I browsed them and gave them to the students to figure out.

This has almost become Zhenyan's habit before going to bed.

Nangongqin has no objection to Zhenyan's habit, but today she finds it inexplicably unpleasant.

——Based on the "common sense" of Yan'er's (Yun Jing) world, reading the jade slips by herself is cheating, so Yan'er is reading these jade slips every day, is it considered cheating?

"...that jade slip is just some information, which is similar to what you usually read," Nangong Qin said in a strange way, "if you are interested, can you read it with me?"

"Can we watch it together? Then... yes!"

Zhenyan agreed indifferently.

He didn't notice Nangongqin's complex eyes at all, he only noticed it strangely: there is no way for the sky train, they are all living in the inn, and the rooms are not bad, why do he still live with his ancestors?
