No one could resist the power of the falling stars. Wei Shiqi was only affected by the remaining power, and he couldn't help but bounce out. Like a piece of grass, he kept rolling in the boiling earth. He held his head with both hands, curled up into a ball, and urged The power of his soul protected his vitals, and he was allowed to be thrown high into the sky by the mighty force of heaven and earth, and then buried in the mountains. He was smashed to pieces and bruised all over his body.
The skin and flesh were torn, the tendons were broken, the internal organs were tangled, and sticky blood flowed from the seven orifices. In just a few months, he wandered into the gate of hell twice in a row. Is it bad luck or fate? His consciousness gradually became blurred, and the violent impact pushed the memory out of his mind. In the end, only a picture remained, of a warm and unfamiliar city in the south, living alone...
That was a past he could never get back, an unforgettable memory.
I slept in the darkness for a long time, and then a little light came on.
He was a middle-aged man walking in a busy city with a backpack slung over his shoulder and headphones plugged into his ears, listening to some fat woman singing, some tall woman singing, some Latin woman singing, Immerse yourself in sad, soulful, and intense songs and escape from the real world.
He is a middle-aged man who cooks and stir-fries in a rented apartment. The rice is multi-grain rice, the white rice is mixed with glutinous rice and brown rice, and the vegetables are vegetable sprouts, green and green, squeaking and black in the oil pan. The tempeh looks like insect eggs attached to vegetable leaves.
He ate alone, took two mouthfuls of rice, picked up a vegetable sprout with chopsticks, his hair on his temples turned white, his eyes were dim and cloudy, his teeth were stained with yellow and black tea stains, and his gums shrank, revealing gray and black gums. stone.
He washed the pots and dishes, made a pot of hot tea with an old purple clay pot, turned on the computer, and saw a young girl wearing a navel-baring miniskirt jumping up and down, singing a song that he couldn't understand. Youth rushed towards him, and he He responded with a faint wry smile.
He leaned against the bed, holding a book, and leaned next to the desk lamp. The night outside the window was quiet, and the lights were red and green. He page after page, one after another, seemed to be stuck at this moment, only immersed in other people's stories. Only in this world can we forget ourselves.
Then he woke up.
Wei Shiqi opened his eyes and lay quietly, letting the memories drown him.
He knows what his problem is and he has no intention of changing it. Memories soothe his heart and give him strength. Life is an arrow of time that never looks back. He lives in the past, ignoring everything in front of him.
Those clear images gradually faded away, and the darkness of the eternal night came overwhelmingly. The world reappeared in front of him. He couldn't tell whether it was real or illusory. However, the game was still going on, and he was willing to keep playing.
Wei Shiqi laughed.
He left in time, far away from the center of Tianji Star's fall. Although he was a little injured, he would be fine after a year and a half. As for the black dragon, that wolf could escape, but he would probably suffer a lot. . Wei Shiqi thought of picking up some bargains, and searched aimlessly for several days despite the billowing smoke and dust. He found no trace of the black dragon, and couldn't even smell the evil spirit at all, so he had to give up this idea.
He did not look for a place to recuperate, but walked all the way, non-stop, to Dongming City.
On the days when he left, Dongming City fell into chaos. The shocks caused by the two star crashes affected everyone. Except for mortals, even the monks were not spared. The rumors of the end of the world originate from nowhere. They have wings and spread to every corner. They say they have noses and eyes - the Seven Kills Star Meteor is the splitting of the earth first, followed by the falling stars. The Tianji Star Falling is the splitting of the earth and the falling stars. It came almost at the same time, and there are still four of the six stars in the South Dipper. There will be no signs of the next natural disaster. There is nowhere to hide, whether it is a populated city, a barren mountain, or an overseas fairy island, there is no difference. Stars Wherever they fall, they can only leave it to fate.
What's more, if all the six stars in the South Dipper fall, will this be the end of the natural disaster?
The grain road has been cut off, and the Central Plains is full of mourners. They have no time to take care of themselves. No grain ships have arrived at Scarlet Star City. Pessimism has spread everywhere, and order is gradually collapsing. Fortunately, Chen Suzhen and Cao Jinren have vigorously suppressed it in Scarlet Star City, and General Ouyang, the auxiliary general of the country, has Quan Dingli cooperated, and apart from the soaring food prices, there were no major troubles. Most of the beatings, looting, burning, rape, and robbery were nipped in the bud. However, most of the thousands of monks in Dongming City were unruly people, and the situation was getting worse day by day. It became unstable, and some desperadoes at the bottom, under the instruction of the mastermind behind the scenes, began to attack the city, find opportunities to stir up trouble, and test the bottom line of what the upper class could bear.
This is not a good sign. In normal times, provoking the rules set by the city lord is tantamount to self-destruction, but under the threat of natural disasters, if you are drunk now, you only seek temporary pleasure, and your life can be thrown away. This idea gradually spreads and affects Arrived at the upper level.
Siyan, which had no power behind it, was hit and closed one after another. The "Yi Hu Zhu" Cabinet Shop and Red Star Merit Hall were also rarely visited. On the contrary, Silver Hook Shop and Song of Silence became increasingly prosperous, spending huge sums of money, but there were many people who wanted to enjoy themselves. , they try to avoid the disaster that may come at any time, live in drunken dreams, and use drunken women to numb themselves.
Among these people, there are Kunlun disciples, casual cultivators from the side sect, novices from Luo Tuo, and Yuanying masters. The weaknesses of mortals are becoming more and more obvious in them.
The situation is serious, the city lord has not shown up yet, and the chaos is imminent. Qin, Zhen, Chu, Ge, Lu Wei, Qiu Tian, Gu Qiyun respectively represent the city lord's lineage, Kunlun's direct lineage, Kunlun's side branch, and the three Nanman sects' scattered cultivator alliance, and sat down to discuss countermeasures. Chu Ge insisted that Dongming City should not be in chaos and take extraordinary actions in emergency situations. The current plan is to gather people from the five forces and patrol in turns. If there are traitors who cause trouble, they should use thunderous means and work together to kill them to eliminate hidden dangers.
Qin Zhen was incompetent, Lu Weiwei was following Chu Ge's lead, Qiu Tian and Gu Qiyun looked at each other, and felt that Chu Ge's move was obviously aimed at the three Nanman sects and the scattered cultivator alliance. But having said that, the monks under his two men were the most complicated. Many of them were broken by natural disasters. When it came to "under the rule", they really couldn't say anything harsh.
Take good care of your own people, no matter how bad it is, take good care of your own dogs, so as not to be blamed for everything and have no place to cry.
Chu Ge's response was timely. Under his iron-fisted suppression, the situation in Dongming City gradually stabilized. However, "high-pressure measures" only addressed the symptoms but not the root cause. The longer the oppression lasted, the stronger the backlash. Chu Ge was worried and did not know that such "stableness" was possible. "How long it can last, he has no idea.
In such a situation, Wei Shiqi returned to Dongming City.
As if he suddenly had a backbone, even Chu Ge secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He suddenly realized that if Wei Shiqi let it go, he was really not sure of fully controlling Dongming City.
Qin Zhen talked a lot, both business matters and gossip. At first she sat upright and talked, leaning in his arms, playing with his fingers, and whispering. Most of the time, Wei Shiqi acted as the listener of "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah", and only interrupted her to ask a few more questions at a few key points.
For some reason, Qin Zhen vaguely felt that he had changed a lot this time after returning from a long journey.
After Qin Zhen, Chu Ge talked with Wei Shiqi for a long night.
