Unknowingly, two years have passed since the Dark Ancestor appeared in the Wanxie Valley.
The vast scene of nearly a hundred soul lights arriving in the past no longer exists. Now there are only three soul light projections left, and they are all powerful Ming Emperors from the Shengtang Dynasty.
After all, this place was within the Holy Tang Dynasty, so they had to be on guard in case the half-step Ming Ancestor's obsession suddenly went wild.
In just two years, the Shengtang Dynasty and the beast tide in the Huangquan River Basin were still at war. It's just that both sides have a tacit understanding to keep the battlefield away from the Valley of All Evils to avoid provoking this half-ancestor's obsession.
As early as half a year after the half-ancestral obsession appeared, nearly a hundred underworld emperors in the ghost world had used various means to spy out that the other party was just an obsession, so as long as they did not deliberately stimulate the other party, this obsession would It will slowly dissipate.
However, due to the emergence of the half-ancestor's obsession, no evil creature dared to approach the Valley of All Evils. As a result, the number of evil spirits bred in the Valley of All Evils became larger and larger. Each evil spirit roared wantonly, and the monstrous evil energy could be said to be thousands of miles away. Hearing this, the Shengtang Dynasty used their magical power to move all the nearby cities such as Lingzhou Mansion.
After sitting in charge year after year, the three powerful Hades Emperors gradually relaxed. After all, their status is transcendent, and their main body is usually responsible for many things. But here in Wanxie Valley, once the half-ancestor's obsession moves, the movement will definitely not be small, and it does not require too much focused observation, so on weekdays, their soul light projection They all live in a separate courtyard.
Therefore, one day two years later, they also ignored a ray of light that slipped out of the Wanxie Valley and quietly escaped along a narrow waterway, disappearing into the distance in an instant.
*——*——*
As one of the few places in the Shengtang Dynasty that could produce Taiyin Xuanming wood, although Xianmu City is located on the southwest border of Weiyang Road, close to the Huangquan River Basin, it has always been impregnable because of the presence of three Ming Lords who are in charge all year round, and is rarely attacked by foreign enemies. Over time, Xianmu City became an extremely prosperous commercial city.
However, with the emergence of the half-ancestral obsession in the Wanxie Valley, in order to avoid being destroyed, Xianmu City and the surrounding Taiyin Xuanming Ridge, tens of thousands of miles away, were all moved to the northern border of Weiyang Road.
The change of location has not affected the prosperity of Xianmu City. Countless ghosts still come and go every day. Therefore, after moving here, the master of Xianmu City invited the emperor to expand the teleportation array in the city to seventeen. seats, greatly increasing the flow of people sent every day.
On this day, as a burst of light dissipated, hundreds of figures emerged from the C-shaped teleportation array in Xianmu City. There were humans, Yin spirits, and beasts. However, regardless of whether they were human or not, they all controlled their size to the size of an ordinary adult. Then, under the urging of the guards of Xianmu City, they walked out of the teleportation array in an orderly manner.
Mixed in the crowd, Shi Chishang, Huang Chenyang and a girl who looked to be no more than fourteen or fifteen years old silently walked away from the teleportation array, then quietly walked out of the crowd, and not long after, they had arrived at an intersection.
Standing under a thousand-year-old willow tree, Shi Chishang squinted his eyes and looked above his head. There was a huge sun floating in the sky of Xianmu City. Although the light was so bright that it illuminated the entire city into daylight, there was no trace of it. Positive heat.
"The sun," Shi Chishang murmured, "I haven't seen it for a long time."
"It's still comfortable to have the sun," Huang Chenyang put his hands in his pockets and sighed with emotion, "When I stayed in the village before, it was so gloomy everywhere. It was so unpleasant."
While the two were sighing there, the girl who was following them looked around with curiosity, seeing the ghosts walking far and near, the flying boats and chariots passing by, and the high and low but uniform styles. The forest-style buildings all excited her.
This woman is naturally the water spirit of the Styx.
Shi Chishang and Huang Chenyang have been practicing at the giant monument for more than two years, but they have only comprehended one ten thousandth of the essence of the imprint inside the monument. Originally, they didn't want to leave so early, but they had no choice but to somehow alert several powerful evil spirits nearby, and they had no choice but to start fleeing in the Black Sea.
It's just that these evil spirits are giants of the Underworld level. Even if Shi Chishang relies on his unparalleled escape skills, he can't hold on for a long time. In desperation, they can only leave the Black Sea, hide all the way, and then rely on the water spirit of the Styx. Under the cover of the enemy, he slipped out of the Wanxie Valley.
In the past two years, Shi Chishang also discovered that the soul path possessed by the water spirit of the Styx was incomplete. This was probably because she did not receive the complete inheritance of the giant beast, but relied on the artistic conception of this giant monument to instinctively The earth gained some secrets.
With nothing to do, Shi Chishang passed on the complete soul path to the other party, and also helped the Styx water spirit shape its body, turning it into the appearance of a fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old girl.
After two years of getting along, Styx Shui Ling became quite familiar with them, so he left Wanxie Valley with the two of them, wanting to see the colorful world outside.
Of course, the Styx Water Spirit is extremely rare. Fortunately, she practices the Soul Way and can perfectly cover up her own Qi, otherwise Shi Chi Shang would not dare to bring her out so carelessly.
After leaving Wanxie Valley, the three of them fled all the way, and soon found a small town. They inquired about what had happened in the past two years, and then arrived at Fairy Wood City with the help of the teleportation array.
The previous city was too small, and the teleportation array only led to a few cities such as Lingzhou Mansion. Due to Baihe, Huya and others, Shi Chishang and the others finally chose Xianmu City near the border of Weiyang Road.
After arriving in the ghost world, Shi Chishang had not felt the sunshine for a long time, so he and Huang Chenyang stood there for a long time. It was not until the water spirit of the Styx tugged at the corner of his clothes that Shi Chishang came back to his senses and smiled. He rubbed her hair and said, "Let's go, let's find a place to have a meal first and ask about recent events."
Huang Chenyang didn't care. They walked along the street for a while and found a small restaurant.
Although it is a small restaurant, the area is not large, it only has two floors, but it is located in a prosperous place like Xianmu City, and the prices are really not cheap. The two of them only ordered two plates of meat dishes and one plate of vegetarian dishes, which cost a total of three hundred saints. Tang coins.
“Damn, it’s so expensive, you can make money by opening a store!”
After Shi Chishang finished paying, Huang Chenyang whispered in a low voice: "Old Shi, let's go back and open a shop?"
"You need a place to open a shop, right? Do you have the rent?" Shi Chishang glanced at him sideways and said angrily.
Huang Chenyang choked and said angrily: "After this meal, we don't have much on hand. What should we do? We still have to buy information."
"You two gentlemen want to buy information?" By chance, the child came over to offer free tea. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Four hundred feet away from our house, there is a shop that specializes in selling all kinds of information. The prices are reasonable."
Thinking about the price of buying information in Senzhou, Shi Chishang twitched his cheeks and shook his head: "It's too expensive. We mainly stayed in seclusion for too long and wanted to know what happened in the past two years."
"That's easy to handle," Xiao'er made tea for the two of them and said with a smile, "There are a lot of old newspapers piled up in our backyard. If you two need them, I'll talk to the boss and sell them to you cheaper."
"Residence newspaper?" Huang Chenyang didn't know why, but Shi Chishang vaguely guessed that it meant the newspaper. He calculated the remaining money on hand and muttered, "Okay, I'll just trouble my brother." As he spoke, his heart started to bleed. He took out thirty Shengtang coins and quietly stuffed them into the opponent's hands.
Putting his hands in his sleeves and weighing them, the waiter turned back to the counter with a happy face and called the shopkeeper to the back of the store. Not long after, he had walked out holding a large stack of old pages and ran to the table for two. .
"Two guests, we don't have many old newspapers here, just the past two or three years. The earlier ones have been thrown away, and these are the only ones left. Our shopkeeper said that they are old ones anyway, fifty. Just Shengtang coins."
Having paid for the teleportation array earlier, plus this meal, Shi Chishang now only has sixty-seven Shengtang coins on hand. Hearing that this stack of old newspapers cost fifty, he frowned slightly: "It's just a bunch of old newspapers, so expensive?"
In the Shengtang Dynasty, there were fifteen or six newspapers like Di Bao, all run by top forces. Moreover, this thing only cost a piece of paper. Frankly speaking, the cost was not high, so it was not expensive to sell. Maybe one Shengtang coin can book a whole month's share.
The shopkeeper wanted to sell him ten Saint Tang coins, but the waiter was greedy and raised the price to fifty. Fortunately, Chi Shang looked unhappy when he saw it, but as he was a ghost general, his heart trembled and he didn't dare to say anything. He quickly said with a smile: "Ten, ten will be enough."
Glancing at the waiter, Shi Chishang didn't say anything. He just took out ten Shengtang coins and threw them on the table. Then he took the stack of newspapers from the other person's hand, divided them with Huang Chenyang, and started browsing each.
This Dibao, also known as the Kaiyuan Miscellaneous Newspaper, originated from the government briefings during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty. Later, the Holy Tang Emperor Taizu founded the Holy Tang Dynasty in the ghost world, and also brought the Kaiyuan Miscellaneous Newspaper with him. In addition to the original court affairs, it also added information about the imperial affairs. Curiosities from all over the place.
Shi Chishang was looking at the newspaper in his house, and suddenly he noticed that the water spirit of the Styx was holding his chin in boredom. He suddenly felt careless and said with a smile: "Youquan, when the food is served, you eat first, and he and I will read the newspaper for a while."
"Youquan" is the name that the water spirit of the Styx begged Shi Chishang to give him.
Youquan nodded. Although the figure she simulated was only fourteen or fifteen years old, it had willow eyebrows and charming eyes, a beautiful nose and cherry lips, and skin as white as snow and frost. She was obviously as cute as a porcelain doll, but she inadvertently revealed something A cool and elegant temperament.
However, the beauty of Youquan was very beautiful, but Shi Chishang had no interest in it, and all his thoughts were focused on the newspaper.
After reading several newspapers in a row, Shi Chishang's expression gradually became serious.
So far he has received two pieces of information.
The first thing is about the tides of the Styx River. According to the Taishi Bureau’s observations, this Styx River tide period will last at least three hundred years, which means that within the next three hundred years, unless Shi Chishang breaks through to the rank of Emperor Hades, there will be no hope. Going to the Xuanming River Basin.
The second one is about the Valley of All Evils. It records in detail that the Obsession of the Half Ancestor appears in the Valley of All Evils, and everyone is warned not to go there, lest they disturb the Obsession of the Half Ancestor.
"Half-Ancestor Obsession?" Shi Chishang frowned slightly. Only then did he realize that there were ranks above Hades Emperor. But speaking of this, the so-called Half-Ancestor obsession was probably left behind by that unknown giant beast.
No wonder the "ancestor" in Youquan's mouth is able to run rampant in the Valley of All Evils. It turns out to be the legacy of the giant beast that created the Valley of All Evils.
After pondering for a moment, Shi Chishang handed the Di newspaper containing these two pieces of information to Huang Chenyang, and then continued to read.
Abruptly, Huang Chenyang let out a sigh, then pointed at a piece of writing on the Di newspaper and motioned for Shi Chishang to look over: "Old Shi, this is not from your wife's house..."
When Shi Chishang heard this, he couldn't help but look at it. It turned out that the title of that piece of content was...
"The entrance examination for the 69th generation of Yin Yang Sect will be held on the first day of September!" 》
