The Lotus Lantern is with you

Mo Chen was absent-mindedly walking on the streets of Jincheng. It was early morning, the sun was light, the man willows were swaying, and the streets were extremely quiet. But even so, there were tourists passing by in twos and threes, but their expressions were very serious. His brows were furrowed, as if something big had happened.

The mortal world is not peaceful now, so it is no wonder that these people are frowning. Mo Chen and Yang Jian have just left hell, and they don't want to go back to heaven immediately, especially after seeing Baihua Fairy after falling into the devil, Mo Chen His heart fell into a trough in an instant.

Although he had expected it, it was still a bit desolate to see it with his own eyes.But this sadness is only for a moment, he has always been rational.

This is an outer suburb where the official road is relatively remote. There are knight-errants riding horses and whips coming and going. From time to time, carriages will pass by quickly, and of course some will stop to rest.

They are now sitting in a teahouse. In the early morning, there are not many people in the teahouse. The waiter knocked on their elegant room listlessly and served tea.

"If you are worried, why not bring her back quietly, there will always be a way to restore the memory." Yang Jian said.

"I also thought about doing this, but if I really do it, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble." Mo Chen shook his head.

Yang Jian was silent.

Mo Chen said, "We have already alarmed the demon world. If we go again, it may not be so easy. What's more, it is almost impossible for a fallen demon to return to the fairy world... As you said, if the fallen demon is Aunt Baihua What about voluntary? Am I meddling in my own business?."

Yang Jian sighed, "Shen...you still can't forget about Sanmei and Liu Yanchang?".

"...No... I'm just a little tired." Mo Chen said lightly, and there seemed to be more people outside the window.

"Fairy Baihua's priesthood is not enough to attract the Jade Emperor's attention, but she is in charge of the spiritual roots of the three realms, so it should be of some use. So, maybe the Jade Emperor is worried about something... The demon world is becoming more and more active..."

Mo Chen raised his teacup and drank it in one gulp, as if what he drank was just a glass of water.

Yang Jian didn't reply, but he agreed with Mo Chen's guess. In fact, including his previous life, it can be said that he has been in contact with the Jade Emperor for 4000 years, but in these 4000 years, he still doesn't know what kind of person this emperor is.

But because of Yao Ji, Yang Jian never had a good impression of Jade Emperor.

"That being said, the Heaven Realm and the Demon Realm have always been closely intertwined. Although the two realms have been fighting endlessly, they have also cooperated." Yang Jian said lightly.

In fact, what Yang Jian suspects is that the Jade Emperor had a deal with the Demon Realm, but there is not enough evidence, this is just a suspicion.

"Cooperation? This is really unbelievable..."

Suddenly, I heard a few noises coming from the second floor below.

"Xiaoer, bring me some tea, I'm sending you some steamed buns, five dishes of beef... I've eaten a mouthful of sand along the way, I'm really exhausted, Grandpa and I." The voice was very rough.

Mo Chen only took a few glances, and found that the small wooden table was surrounded by three muscular men.Those people were wearing strong clothes, some worn out, with long swords hanging from their waists, but they were all wearing the same color of clothes.

It's rare that even people from the rivers and lakes showed up. In his previous life, he rarely met these people from the rivers and lakes.

When Mo Chen became interested, he eavesdropped openly.

The big bearded man gulped down a big mouthful of water, and then said in a rough voice, "Ge Laozi, those people are simply beasts. The whole city was slaughtered just like that. I heard that the city is now dead." It's completely empty."

"I said you were joking. People in that city slaughtered as they said, so you think you are a storyteller?" A table next to him immediately laughed.

"Little brother, how do you know what happened to the north in Jincheng? I'm not bluffing you. I came down from the top this time. There is no complete body in the city... Hey, that is a tragedy... "The big man said.

……

"The war on earth has begun, around this time." Mo Chen frowned, nodded his table and said slowly.

Yang Jian looked at him suspiciously, and it was only then that Mo Chen remembered that Yang Jian seemed to have disappeared at this time in his previous life.He didn't know how tragic the war in the lower realm was.

"I remember this time in my previous life, when I was working as a judicial deity. The situation in the human world at that time can only be said to be... horrible, especially in this place, it is even more horrible."

Yang Jian was startled, what kind of war could make Mo Chen say these four words.

"In the following hundreds of years, great turmoil occurred in this continent, and the heavens also caused a lot of losses. However, I don't know what happened afterwards. After all, at that time..." Mo Chen handed him a letter that you know eyes.

He also died at that time, with Yang Jian.

Yang Jian rubbed his forehead helplessly, obviously whenever he thought of this fact he felt powerless.

"So, in this life, the war you mentioned will still break out?"

"The way of heaven, the emperor lost his way, and his crimes are serious. I once asked Laojun if he could change this situation." Mo Chen recalled, sipping tea.

"What did he say?" Yang Jian raised his eyebrows curiously.

"...everything in the world is karma. If you plant a cause, you must bear the consequences. This is unavoidable, and the gods have also paid the price for the wanton and futile past. There will also be demons, of course. ... After all, the way of heaven loves the human race, according to what Emperor Donghua said, maybe only the human race will survive in the end..."

"..."

"Why, are you feeling sad?" Mo Chen smiled.

Yang Jian shook his head, "I'm just a little sad. Whether it's a god or a human, they are just pawns of heaven. The only difference is which pawn is more valuable, but even so, it may not be able to survive in the end." stepping stone.

Mo Chen sneered, feeling amused by Yang Jian's words.

But the word "chess piece" touched him, he thought of the chessboard that Xu Jizi gave him, and always felt that there seemed to be something hidden in his brain that was about to come out suddenly, but then flashed past.

Mo Chen's mood turned a little bad in an instant, but he heard the people below still chatting loudly. From their words, he learned that these people came down from the north. It was originally an ordinary bodyguard agency, but suffered a catastrophe. When war breaks out, even if the martial arts of the people in the rivers and lakes are strong, how can they hide from gold and iron horses.

"It's just that those people can't escape like us. I heard that many people died. Hey, I also heard that Huashan also had an accident a while ago. I heard that the patron saint of Huashan has left." A young man who spoke Many young people.

"I said that you still believe that there are gods in this world. You are young and believe in these ghosts and gods. It's better to learn martial arts well. Even if you can't defend your home and country, you can protect your family."

"You don't know that. You don't believe them because you haven't seen them, but that doesn't mean they don't exist."

"Haha, you little brother is really interesting. If there are gods in the sky and people in this city die, why don't they stop them? You people know how to worship gods, but the god you worshiped appeared? All the people in that city were slaughtered, and I didn't see a god." The big man said, and there was a trace of resentment and sadness in his eyes.

"This..." Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, speechless, and their inner beliefs began to waver.

Mo Chen sighed silently, put down the broken silver, got up and left the teahouse.

Before leaving, he could still hear the big man's indignation.

"That person is interesting. This is the first time I've heard someone say that. However, that person is not afraid of being heard by Lei Gong and Dian Mu?" Yang Jian chuckled.

Mo Chen nodded, noncommittal.

"He doesn't believe in gods, so he has nothing to fear." Mo Chen said flatly, "Since he doesn't believe in gods, he won't rely on him, doesn't rely on them, and isn't blind. This person is indeed good."

"However, the matter of war in the world should indeed be taken seriously. If according to what you said, the war in the next 1000 years in the world will really cause countless gods to fall, then this matter should not be underestimated." Yang Jian said.

Mo Chen was thoughtful. They were walking on a small path. The sky was slightly brighter, the wind was blowing, and the sound of leaves rustling made the scalp a little numb. They were walking on the way up the mountain. It was just a small town.

It's too clean.

Obviously the last time I went down to earth, there were still flowers blooming here.

He didn't stay here for too long, Mo Chen was about to leave when he saw Ao Chun hurriedly chasing him with his Xiaotian dog.

Xiaotiangou was a little out of breath, stroked his knees and panted, and when he saw his master, he automatically ran behind Yang Jian, complaining, "Eighth Prince, next time you should take care of Lilac, if you come here again so many times, I'm going to die of exhaustion."

Mo Chen wondered, "Eighth Prince, are you looking for something urgent with us in such a hurry to pull Xiao Tiangou? Or, Ding Xiang...what's wrong with her?"

According to Xiaotiangou's words, it seems that Lilac is missing.

Sure enough, Ao Chun anxiously said, "Lilac, she ran away from home. I have been looking for her everywhere these days, but there are so many people here, where can I find her?"

Mo Chen was surprised, Ding Xiang would actually run away from home? "Ao Chun, what happened? Why did Ding Xiang run away from home suddenly? But you two are at odds?"

Ao Chun bowed his head and did not speak this time, but his expression was full of remorse.

Yang Jian thought for a while and said, "No matter what happened, let's find someone first and talk about it now. Although Ding Xiang can do some kung fu, she is still a mortal after all. Now the mortal world is in a tense time. If you encounter danger, you will be in trouble."

Ao Chun showed a grateful expression, "I asked Xiaotiangou to help me find it before, but Xiaotiangou said that he didn't find anyone."

"Oh? Xiao Tiangou, when did your nose stop working?" Mo Chen looked suspiciously at the man behind Yang Jian.

"I didn't lie to you. That girl didn't know how to get rid of her smell. I couldn't smell her at all."

Xiao Tiangou stretched out his head and yelled, and gave Ao Chun an annoyed look. The guy still had a look of disbelief at the time, and insisted on dragging him to fix his nose.

"Ding Xiang has always been eccentric. It's normal for Roaring Sky Dog to find her, but since she is so decisive, I think she is really anxious this time. Ao Chun, although Ding Xiang is a bit more playful, she is not out of control." People who know how to measure, did you bully her this time?" Mo Chen asked.

Ao Chun sighed helplessly, with a gloomy expression.

Yang Jian asked tentatively, "But for... getting married?"

This sentence made Ao Chun's face pale instantly.
