The gorgeous sunshine reflects colorful rays of light in the sky, layer upon layer, criss-crossing in the sky.
The undulating buildings are lined up in rows, with no doors or windows, and are stacked like squares. The surface of the building in front of Zheng Xiu and his party is painted with black and white wall paint, either pure black or pure white. Some of the wall paint is peeling off, and the black wall paint is peeling off. The pale background is revealed, and the white wall paint peels off to reveal the black interior.
Looking higher up, the buildings at higher places are also messy and stacked, but they present a completely different style from the buildings in front of them. Some are ruins, some are majestic medieval Gothic opera houses, and some are ancient oriental pavilions, horizontal bridges and flying buttresses.
What's more, it is a piece of squirming "egg", with ferocious tendrils and blood vessels forming walls, roughly combined into structures similar to "houses". From a distance, it looks like a huge monster "hive" ”, pressing down on the world.
Looking back, Zheng Xiu found that he was standing at the "edge" of the world. This was a "city" floating on the "sea" - if we talk about the infinitely distant "abyss", the black fluid flowing chaotically up and down , if it can be seen as a "sea".
The "dark sea" formed a wave and crashed this way. Zheng Xiu quickly took a step back. The "ground" under his feet was silently broken into pieces as the black ocean current approached. The ground was first broken into pieces of translucent illusory squares. The small squares rotated and merged into each other. In the black sea current, it was so dark that it was like a piece of thick ink that could not be removed. After staring for a long time, Zheng Xiu had the illusion that he was facing a... no, a group of creatures lurking in the darkness.
Normally, it would be impossible for Zheng Xiu to have such an "illusion". Unless there is some kind of "life" or a pure "sight" on the other side of the black ocean, Zheng Xiu subconsciously came up with this idea.
Zheng Xiu lowered his head and looked at the decomposed piece. The edge of the city maintained an irregular shape, as if it had been eroded, with pits and pits. Every moment, little by little, it changes as the black ocean erodes.
The boundless black ocean, the city with fragmented styles, and the corroded edges. The scenery in front of him made Zheng Xiu show a slightly surprised expression on his face.
Not long ago.
The outside world is devastated. Zheng Xiu made a hole in the monk's forehead.
Zheng Xiu entered the ghost town called [Qixin Town], and the others gritted their teeth and followed suit.
"Didn't I tell you to stay outside?"
The surprised expression on Zheng Xiu's face faded, and he turned back to look at the people who had followed him, with a stern face: "Do you know where this place is!"
The city is divided into many areas with different styles. Just the black and white square houses in front of them have made others stunned. They had been living in the Daqian Dynasty before and did not understand the vastness of the sky and the earth, let alone other worlds outside the world. The architectural style in front of them was so far beyond their understanding that they were dumbfounded.
Jun Buxiao patted the non-existent dust on his clothes, put on a "smiling" mask in an elegant and calm manner, looked back at the other people with a smile, and said: "Who the hell kicked me?" Kicked in?"
He raised his chin and pointed behind him, where there was a clearly visible mud footprint on his clothes.
The killer's shoe prints were those of boots with tiny pointed heels.
Xi'er looked away guiltily, holding two large bundles of silk thread in her sleeves. With the thread in her hand, she felt a little calmer, coughed twice, pretended to have nothing to do with her, and said calmly: "Xi'er thinks so..."
Before Xi'er could finish her words, she was interrupted by the angry old miracle doctor Situ Yong. He stepped forward and fiercely grabbed Jun Buxiao's collar. He was so angry that his white hair fell down, and said: "You damn fool." Your face is so close, if you block someone else's way, who will you kick if you don't?"
There was no joy or sadness in Jun Buxiao's voice, but his mask was festive. He chuckled and said, "Let's watch the show! How can we not get closer to the show?"
Uh-huh! Situ Yong took out the two most murderous of the six butcher knives and crossed them on Jun Buxiao's neck: "Are you watching a show? OK! Then why did you drag me in here!"
"Uh...please forgive me for the offense?"
Jun Bu smiled and said sorry.
"I see your mother!"
The old man and the young man rolled to the corner and started fighting.
Ye watched the two fighting, smiling and looking around. From time to time, she would twist a reed leaf around her green-white fingertips. When Situ Yong had a bloody nose and scolded Jun Buxiao for daring to hit him in the face, Ye Caiyou said leisurely: "Is this... a ghost?"
"Really?" The snake looked fearless, even a little excited. There was a fluorescent white snake wrapped around her neck. From time to time, the white snake spit out blood-red nodules and made a "hissing" sound. The white snake's eyes were sharp, looking around with the same curiosity as the snake.
Xi'er weakly raised her hand: "I think so..."
Jun Buxiao shouted angrily and took out the scissors: "I'm angry!"
Ding ding ding ding.
An old man and a young man started a high-intensity warm-up exercise.
Xi'er's words were interrupted again.
Lady Anne's eyes trembled as she tiptoed out.
Yin Qingqing regarded Zheng Xiu as his own father and as important as Mount Tai. When he noticed that Annie was acting strangely, he raised his finger and pointed at the orange cat who was about to run away without saying a word.
"Red King! The cat is running away."
Zheng Xiu moved his body, pinched the cat's soft back neck with a smile, and lifted the whole cat, so that the faces of one cat and one were almost touching.
"Annie, do you have nothing to explain to me?"
Anne shrank her neck guiltily, then summoned up her last stubbornness, stiffened her tail and said, "You should call me the great Lady Anne!"
Zheng Xiu stared at Annie without saying a word.
Anne's tail suddenly withered, and she lowered her head and said: "Okay! I confess, as you guessed, I was originally the master of all this. The great fallen existence that I once said was Myself." The orange cat's two crystal-clear eyes like emeralds glowed with a faint green. The moment she said these words, the meowing aura she had inadvertently revealed disappeared without a trace, and there was a terrifying feeling. A fierce momentum emerged from that furry face. Jun Buxiao and Situ Yong, who were fighting hard, suddenly stopped moving, as if there was a huge monster hiding behind them.
Everyone's bodies were trembling uncontrollably. They looked at the orange cat in Zheng Xiu's hand in shock. They were unable to detect the more profound and obscure "things". They didn't even know why or what they were afraid of, but they seemed to Instinctively, he felt as if there was an invisible foot descending from the sky and ravaging his human soul without emotion.
"In other words, I am the origin of everything, I am your...Creator."
Boom!
Zheng Xiu flicked the orange cat's forehead with his fingers, and with a bang, the huge force made the orange cat raise its chin.
"Speak the truth as you say, don't be too spiritual."
The orange cat cried and covered his forehead, with tears in his eyes, and said pitifully: "I am the great..."
"Remove the redundant prefixes."
Zheng Xiu bowed his fingers again.
"The Lord of Elegance." The orange cat said quickly: "Elegance never goes out of style! I am the embodiment of 'elegance'!"
I always thought you were the "Lord of Jade Feet".
Zheng Xiu was stunned for a moment, but the others looked blank. Anne didn't seem to hear what she said.
Anne explained: "Mortals without divinity will receive unimaginable impact even when they face my name or even think about my existence in their hearts. Only you now are qualified to mention my authority."
"Real name? Annie?"
"Part of it." Anne shook her head: "Even if the master goes back in time, he cannot call him by his complete real name."
"Master? What level?"
Zheng Xiu asked.
Annie thought for a while, then pinched her paws half an inch apart: "This is the difference between a false god and a god."
She spread her paws: "This is the difference between a master and a god."
Zheng Xiu frowned: "That's it?"
Lady Anne shouted angrily: "Look clearly! Open your small and ignorant eyes and see clearly! I mean 'infinity'! Infinity! Out of reach! Unobservable! Unmeasurable! Unmeasurable!" Inexplicably, he said When the word "infinite" was uttered, Anne felt a strange chill in her heart, and even before Anne could think about it carefully, it quietly dissipated.
"Then what's going on here?"
Zheng Xiu temporarily ignored the other people who risked following him and squeezed into the ghostly place. Looking at the "unfamiliar" scenery in front of him, he frowned and asked.
really.
Lady Anne wanted to run just now because she guessed that Zheng Xiu would ask what was going on "here".
She knew that Zheng Xiu must have entered the monk's "Seven Heart Town" once during his countless twists and reincarnations. He had been here and noticed something was wrong.
Anne thought to herself that her great vest had fallen off and her true identity was exposed. There was nothing to hide at this moment. As if breaking a jar, he told the truth: "This is his Bund."
"You know what I'm going to ask, long story short, I'm worried about running out of time."
Zheng Xiu squinted his eyes. There was an emphasis on the word "no time" in his tone. Lady Anne's expression changed slightly. Thinking of the [Emperor] who was dragged here, she immediately understood the "threat" in Zheng Xiu's words. " means. She rolled her eyes at Zheng Xiu with resentment, her eyes were like looking at a scumbag tomcat who was always in trouble but finally abandoned, making others think wildly.
You said Zheng Xiu doesn't know how awesome the master is, but at this moment, Lady Anne's fate is tied to Zheng Xiu, and she is controlled by Zheng Xiu.
"I didn't mean to hide it."
Zheng Xiu nodded: "You are shameless, I understand, continue."
"..." The arrogant Lady Anne was speechless for a moment and said: "In the 'original setting', the Bund is actually a stranger's mental landscape. His inner desire, his imagination, and his longing will be reflected in the Bund. Transform into all kinds of strange scenery, buildings, and even living things.”
"Each scenery on the Bund has a unique 'symbol'. For example, this messy building is a manifestation of the different personalities living in the bald man's heart."
Zheng Xiu nodded again: "I know this. I have been here before. It was quite chaotic. There was Fan Yao, a nymphomaniac, a gangster, and others who were hiding and refusing to come out, but the styles were the same anyway. , it will never... be so chaotic. Besides, these scenery are definitely beyond the imagination of a monk... these are simply 'foreign' things!"
Lady Anne: "This is the essence of 'pollution'! This is why I told you that if you can't get the 'key' in 'Emperor', you will die, I will go back, and we will have no future."
Zheng Xiu took a deep breath: "You mean, these scenery are... their things? Are they mixed together?" Zheng Xiu pondered for a moment, then suddenly shook his head and glared at Anne: "No, why is it a monk? You still What are you hiding?"
"Bah! I don't bother to hide it! I just didn't have time to say it!" Zheng Xiu pinched the back of Annie's neck and lifted her into his hand. At this moment, she tilted her mouth and held her paws in front of her chest, looking like she was pulling her. Where could she go? Has it anything to do with "elegance"? She snorted twice and said, "I have told you before that this world needs people of all kinds."
When Zheng Xiu heard this, his pupils shrank: "That monk is..."
"[Diplomat]! Or called 'envoy', it's almost the same thing!" Lady Anne carefully looked at Zheng Xiu's ugly face. In the final analysis, the monk's "illness", his "split personality", he The "madness" is all due to the "various systems" set by Lady Anne before looking back. She set the rules, and the world runs according to the rules she originally set. The monk happened to become such a "role".
"In other words," Lady Anne secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Zheng Xiu didn't get angry: "In the 'original setting', his bund, adjacent to the outermost edge, was a place that was easily invaded. Rather, here It’s a place where ‘others’ come in on purpose!”
Zheng Xiu's narrowed pupils gradually widened. He recalled being crazy or normal in reincarnations, talking to himself and talking to other personalities late at night from time to time, meditating on the roof, clasping his hands and being regarded as an alien figure, and his expression calmed down little by little.
He suddenly sighed and put the orange cat on the ground.
After a moment of silence, Zheng Xiu asked with a trace of unconcealable exhaustion in his tone: "Human beings, what do you think they are in your eyes?"
Lady Anne raised her cat's head and was looked down upon by Zheng Xiu, feeling a little unhappy subconsciously in her heart. But she still answered: "One kind, resources."
"resource……"
Zheng Xiu repeated these two words in a low voice. Anne added: "I don't understand why you, who have given birth to a little bit of divinity, can't understand this. Human beings raise cattle and sheep, slaughter chickens and ducks, plant rice, and raise fish and shrimp in lakes. The cycle of heaven is nothing. Everything ends. It will turn into a 'source', and the 'source' will also evolve into all things. This is the 'law', and you should be able to understand it."
Zheng Xiu shook his head: "I can understand, but I can't sympathize." He smiled self-deprecatingly: "Maybe it's because that bit of divinity has shrunk back, and I feel inexplicably sad for human beings."
The conversation between Zheng Xiu and the orange cat was blocked in the ears of others. They could not hear it. They could only see one person and one cat discussing something with their expressions changing from time to time.
At this time, colorful butterflies flew back from everywhere. When Zheng Xiu first landed, he drew hundreds of them and flew out to check the terrain, but now there were only a few left when he came back.
Zheng Xiu didn't say anything about this. The skin on his right hand was peeled off piece by piece, each piece was as thin as a cicada's wing, and his right arm turned into a book.
The butterfly rushed into the book page, and the moment it hit the human skin page, it was shattered into pieces and turned into ink, leaving patches of mottled patches on the human skin page. The ink shadows squirmed on the human skin, gradually turning into clear "maps".
After the "Evil Boy" merged with the [Literati] artifact, Zheng Xiu tried to combine the [Painter] and the [Literati] to create a "map exploration" function.
"What are these weird things you set up back then?" Zheng Xiu looked at the human skin map on his arm and asked casually.
"Back then?" Annie showed a little doubt about the term "back then", but she soon understood what "back then" was. She and Zheng Xiu once again restored their old friendship, jumped on Zheng Xiu's shoulders, and gently touched her head with her head from time to time. Bumping Zheng Xiu's ear, it seemed that he was using this cat-like behavior to show that he was no longer angry.
"The 'deputy authority' was originally broken." Lady Anne said.
"original?"
"Under the influence of external forces, combined with the 'wishes' of the world, new 'things' can be born. They are endowed with new abilities and characteristics."
"Where's the prisoner?"
No one wants to go to jail.
"This..." Annie was not sure.
Rumble——
At this time, since they entered the city, which had never behaved as strange and dangerous as a ghost should, there was a sudden violent vibration on the ground. Annie and Zheng Xiu felt something in their hearts at the same time and looked up into the sky.
An extremely huge, radiant, and extremely noble "balance" shadow loomed over the city.
"Scale?" Zheng Xiu suddenly looked at the orange cat with a fierce look. He thought the orange cat was hiding Xiao Jiujiu again. Unexpectedly, the orange cat looked more surprised than Zheng Xiu at this moment. The cat's pupils first became vertical, then soon became heart-shaped, and finally became round, frozen. She opened her mouth wide, and the pink mucous membrane in her mouth vibrated violently.
After a long time, Lady Anne said two words in shock.
"just???"
