Chapter 261 Hallucinations
After being called out by Zhang Wanyang, Ning Wuxie and Zhao Heng could no longer chat. They could only wave their hands with a smile and leave to return to the crowd.
Zhang Wanyang was about to ask what the two had said when he heard Ning Wuxie say with a smile: "I didn't expect that the famous Xuanqin Iron Tree had such a secret. I really didn't expect it."
Zhao Heng also smiled and nodded.
Seeing this, Zhang Wanyang closed his mouth and stopped asking.
Everyone looked up at the top of the iron tree at this time. As dusk fell, the large green leaves at the top of the iron tree slowly turned black, and the outline of each leaf could not be distinguished.
But this darkness only lasted for a few seconds. Suddenly, a ray of fire lit up in the crown of the top of the iron tree, like a red lightning or a small snake, crawling over the branches and leaves in an instant, illuminating a small area and then quickly disappearing.
Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er looked at this strange scene in surprise.
Could this be the "flower" of the iron tree?
Zhang Wanyang began to explain: "Every year at this time, the iron tree will emit this kind of fire after dark, passing through the treetops, as if it grows from the trunk and dissipates to the top of the leaves."
"It's like the sparks from the iron tree."
Ning Wuxie nodded and asked Zhao Heng: "Then what is the reason for this spark?"
"This, no one knows at present. We can only guess that the broken world in the magic weapon is dissipating energy outward, which is transmitted by the ancient tree." Zhao Heng said.
The broken small world...
The emperor's Wuqi can actually contain a world, and this small world is still releasing energy ten thousand years after the emperor's death.
Not to mention anything else, just saying that this plant can grow from a small world to the main world by absorbing the world's energy is unimaginable enough.
If I die, the small world of Tianming City will probably be like this, still existing, but constantly collapsing, sliding towards the direction of the abyss and dissipating, and finally returning to the main world.
But the world inside the emperor's magic weapon has collapsed for 10,000 years and has not completely dissipated... Really... Ning Wuxie is more and more frightened the more he thinks about it.
People in the Dharma Ending Age really can't imagine the scenes of the mythological age.
After watching, Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er should also say goodbye. This dinner party can't be said to be fruitless, at least they have eaten a lot.
However, I met Zhao Heng, persuaded him, and learned the secrets of the iron tree, which can be regarded as a broadening of my horizons.
Everyone walked back along the way they came, stopped in front of the hall where the dinner was held, and said goodbye to each other.
"Little friend Ning, where are you going next? Go back to Junzi Mountain?" Zhao Xun asked, touching his big belly.
"Not necessarily, I just came out not long ago." Ning Wuxie said, "I plan to continue to investigate the clues of Huangquanke and eliminate some evil ways."
"Haha, good, responsible." King Fu said with a smile.
"Although Li Luobing has been captured, the Yellow Spring Guest has not been eradicated. I hope that Mr. Ning will pay more attention to it," Zhao Guangxian said. "If you find anything, please contact Mr. Zhang. You are brothers and sisters, so it will be more convenient to cooperate."
"Haha, that's natural." Ning Wuxie smiled awkwardly and glanced at Zhang Wanyang.
He wanted to say that the case could be closed now, and the leader of the Yellow Spring Guest was Zhang Wanyang, but he couldn't.
There was no real evidence on hand, and he didn't know whether these three princes were enemies or friends. Once it was revealed, it was uncertain whether he and Xuan'er could leave Xuanqin.
After some politeness, Zhang Wanyang, Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er said goodbye to Emperor Zhao Heng and the princes and left the palace.
"Junior Brother Ning, tonight..." Standing in front of the sedan chair, Zhang Wanyang made a gesture of invitation.
"We'll leave tonight." Ning Wuxie interrupted.
Zhang Wanyang was stunned, "So anxious?" He looked at Ning Wuxie and sneered, "What are you afraid of? I can't beat you."
"I know," Ning Wuxie snorted, "There's nothing good to stay here, why not go out for a walk."
"Okay, my junior brother." Zhang Wanyang did not try to keep him, and his tone was not polite at all.
"I hope you don't think about it and say something to Junzishan. First of all, this will not change anything. The ancestor behind me will replace a guy who is even more inhuman than me to control the government, and Huangquanke will still exist. Secondly, the ancestor will hunt you down unless you never leave Junzishan."
Before getting on the sedan chair, Zhang Wanyang left these words and then walked away.
"Just a eunuch, what's so arrogant!" Xuan'er glanced at the sedan chair he was sitting in and took Ning Wuxie's arm.
"Don't be angry, brother."
Ning Wuxie watched Zhang Wanyang leave silently, and was suddenly hugged by Xuan'er, and then he retracted his gaze.
"I'm not angry. He's right." Ning Wuxie shook his head. "With our current strength, it's really hard to compete with Tianxu behind him."
"Even if we report Zhang Wanyang to Junzishan now, it's just a waste of this fuse."
"When we become stronger and have more clues and the truth, we can combine Li Luobing and Zhang Wanyang to achieve the greatest detonation effect."
Ning Wuxie thought, instead of letting Zhang Wanyang be replaced and replaced by a new character to lead Huangquanke, it would be better to let Zhang Wanyang continue like this. He has Li Luobing and the Wei brothers and sisters in his hands and can testify against him at any time.
But if he changes someone, it's equivalent to breaking all the clues.
"Brother is right." Xuan'er said softly.
"Where are we going now...?"
"..."
"I don't know either."
...
At the same time, in the small world.
The people of Tianming City were about to fall asleep. Every household began to turn off the lights, the dim lights in the windows disappeared, and the city gradually became dark.
With the support of the maid, Li Luobing staggered out of the Government Affairs Hall and looked at this city he had never seen before. The architectural style of private houses was something she had never seen before, and the design of the armor of the guards on the square at the entrance of the main hall also surprised her.
What's even more strange is that she found that the skin color of many people here showed a combination of light gray/grey green. It was not dark or yellow like the outside world, but a kind of gray on the basis of paleness.
This is definitely not Xuan Qin, nor any corner of Lingwu Continent, nor are these people any race that Li Luobing has ever heard of.
Is this really the world created by Ning Wuxie?
How on earth is it done...
Li Luobing's eyes flashed with shock, and he couldn't move his eyes away.
"How's it going, Miss Li?" A female voice came from behind. Li Luobing and the maid turned around and saw Chong Jue walking towards them. The maid saluted, but Li Luobing stood still.
"Who are you……"
"I am the consul appointed by the king to manage this city. My name is Chongjue."
"Oh..." Li Luobing's heart stirred, "Is Ning Wuxie your king?" she asked knowingly.
"Yes," Chong Jue walked to her side and looked at the large city buildings in front of him, "it was the king who promised us this world so that we people can have a safe place to live."
"Where are you from?" Li Luobing asked.
Chong Jue glanced at her and remained silent.
"You have to ask Wang Jun about this. I don't know if I should tell you this question."
Li Luobing nodded silently.
"In short, the king is the cornerstone on which this city is built, our faith, and the god and master of this city or country."
"Not bad..." Li Luobing could only agree, not knowing what to say.
Although her Chu Dynasty had a population of tens of millions, as a royal princess, she did not necessarily have ten people worshiping her father as a god.
But Ning Wuxie did it... But it's normal. After solving the problem of eating and sleeping for these people, they still opened up a world for them. This is not considered a god, and the definition of a god has changed.
Li Luobing immediately realized what the fanatical belief of such a huge crowd would bring - the power of belief!
In today's world, only the leader of the Human Sect, the Human Emperor, is called the Emperor of the Human Race because he shoulders the mission of protecting the world and enjoys the blessing of a little power of faith.
But Ning Wuxie can actually have his own followers, and combined with what Ning Wuxie has done for them, the worship of these believers must be extremely sincere, intense, and of extremely high quality.
Li Luobing thought more deeply, this small world is isolated from the world, no one can invade, and there is only such a group of people. Over time, they multiply and multiply, and the population reaches one hundred thousand, one million... What will happen? !
Ning Wuxie at that time...
She couldn't help but swallow, and her dry lips trembled slightly.
Chong Jue suddenly said: "Miss Li, what kind of building do you think is better to build in this place in front of you?"
"architecture?"
"Yes, it can be extremely grand, demonstrate the king's absolute authority, and make all people remember his architecture."
"To show authority..." Li Luobing hurriedly used his frightened and semi-foolish mind, "How about the statue?"
"The statues are not very good. Statues should be distributed throughout the city and are not suitable as landmarks."
"...that pavilion?"
"The pavilion? Isn't it high enough?" Chongjue crossed his arms and thought, imagining how a pavilion would stand here.
"Besides, Wang Jun doesn't come back often, and I don't know what the attic is used for. It's a bit wasteful."
"Then it's just a tower." Li Luobing said.
"tower?"
"Yes, there are many types of towers, spire towers, round towers, multiple towers..." Li Luobing gave Chong Jue, who had never seen many outside buildings, some popular science, "Towers also have strong religious attributes, mainly to maintain worship. ”
Chong Jue listened, his eyes shining, and he nodded unconsciously.
"Yes, just to maintain worship."
"At that time, a fire can be lit on the top of the tower and lit every night. On the one hand, it can provide lighting, and on the other hand, this eye-catching building can make people aware of the king's existence forever." Li Luobing said.
"That's right... a fire in the dark night, isn't Wang Jun the same as a fire in the dark night to us?"
Chong Jue opened his eyes wide and looked in front of him in trance, as if he had seen a tall tower standing here, with a blazing fire shining on the top of the tower, allowing everyone to see it at a glance.
The fire in front of him suddenly moved, drawing a trajectory on the dark sky.
"Eh?"
Chong Jue was stunned, was he hallucinating? How did the imaginary tower become a reality?
She took a closer look and saw that there was no tall tower on the ground, but the fire in the sky was indeed moving and seemed to be approaching here.
Chong Jue turned her head and glanced at Li Luobing, and she also saw the flash of fire.
"What is that?" Chongjue asked.
"I don't know." Li Luobing shook his head, wondering why you asked me.
The fire was getting closer and closer, becoming bigger and bigger, like a red meteor. In an instant, it had reached the top of Tianming City, illuminating the buildings below.
Only then did Chong Jue and Li Luobing realize that the fire seemed to be aimed directly at them...
"Be careful!" Zhong Jue screamed, pulling Li Luobing and the maid to squat down at the same time. They saw the person-sized fire flying over the heads of the three people, and hitting the square of the Government Affairs Hall behind them with a "boom". .
The stone bricks in the square cracked instantly, and a large pit sank in the middle. The ground shook, several guards were knocked down, and dust and smoke filled the air.
Only then did a few people hear that the thing that hit them seemed to be screaming continuously.
"Ahhhhh, it hurts... it hurts so much! My body, uhhhhhhh!!!"
