Cultivation Of Coders

Chapter 823 In the Empty City

However, although it is miserable here, it is also very peaceful and stable, not as wild as the streets outside. Surrounded by quaint wooden houses, it looks like an old neighborhood in ancient times.

As Zhang Deming walked along the way, many people looked at him with West Wing eyes. Some ugly little dolls looked like children, staring at him with big clear eyes. There were also many people with indifferent expressions. .

"Mom, the king is back. Don't I have to worry about my hands being bitten off by two tigers after I run out?" An ugly kid, after seeing him, raised his head and faced an ugly woman like this. said.

"Well, well, now that the king is back, they won't dare to bully our Vine tribe nearby. After all, our tribe also has a Great Saint!" the woman replied.

Zhang Deming heard such whispers and turned his head in surprise.

Even though the child is very young, he is not ugly. He has cracked skin and obvious vine bark. His head is like a vine bump, and his hands and feet only have a rough shape. The whole thing looks like a strange tree bump.

His cultivation level is not high, he is only in the Tai Chi stage. The reason why he can transform into such a degree with this kind of cultivation is because he was born like this. He was conceived by his parents after transforming, just like most half-demon.

In addition, the plants and trees belong to the demonic type and are gentle in nature. Therefore, with this level of cultivation, it is normal for people to be bullied here. Without this territory-like neighborhood, they might have been miserable countless times.

Zhang Deming looked at the two people, and then at the beggar-like people around him. He suddenly understood why Shen Lingjun had the tendency to be a "treacherous" person.

The Caomu clan is really not suitable to be a demon, at least not in a place like this. It's no wonder that the human race divided them into plant elves, which were particularly distinguished from other ten thousand monsters.

Zhang Deming didn't do anything. He walked silently, maintaining the character of Lord Shenling, and arrived at the end of the street, his palace.

This is the only decent building on this street, and the specifications are not too big. It should have been built by Beast Race for him, the Beast King.

Of course, the style is also a wooden house type, or territorial-like blocks, which are built according to this architectural style.

······

After Lord Shenling came here, he seemed to be lost in memories and fell into silence. Zhang Deming was familiar with this strange wooden house under the leadership of Bai Teng, based on Shen Lingjun's information.

The wooden house doesn't look very big, but the space inside is actually expanded. It's as spacious as a palace compound, and the style is very primitive.

After a long time, Zhang Deming sent away all the followers. Under the guidance of Shen Lingjun, he came to his library. While searching through his collection of books, he asked, "Is this your home?"

"Why, it doesn't look like it?" Shen Lingjun said dully.

"No, I thought... I thought it was more like human territory, not so... natural style?" Zhang Deming said as he recalled the courtyard laid out like a forest park.

"Oh, you want to say, why did I leave them alone?" Shen Lingjun said.

Zhang Deming was silent and did not reply. Although he didn't ask, he was indeed a little confused. But it's just doubts, he doesn't have any intention to comment on other people's homes.

Don’t persuade others to be kind if you haven’t experienced others’ suffering!

"Let's talk about it after you understand Wan Yao City. It's better to leave them alone than to take care of everything. After all...

The vine demon needs to be cheap in order to survive tenaciously. Only strong grass in the wind can be full of resilience!

If we give them an ideal environment, and with the nature of our people, it is easy to live in fairy tales, then we are not far from genocide. Seeing this, Shen Lingjun said with a little explanation.

Zhang Deming could tell that this might be a reason, but it wasn't the main reason, and he didn't delve into it.

He just looked at him with doubts and asked: "Why don't you directly join the human race? Find a sect to join, it's better than here. I don't think you think the human race is a foreign race, or even hate the human race." Humanoid."

"Heh, if that's the case, the situation of our Vine Clan will only be more miserable. From being oppressed by the weak to being oppressed by slaves, and even turning ourselves into resources and food, so what if life becomes perfect?" Shen Lingjun said sarcastically.

Zhang Deming was stunned for a moment, thinking of the flower demon elves of Heavenly Spirit Sect, they are living a very good and perfect life now, but that contract is indeed a slavery contract, Zhang Deming can't refute this.

Although Zhang Deming believes that one should want to live a good life before seeking other things. But about enslavement, he really couldn't refute it, the concept is fundamentally different.

After all, there are amazing sayings that say: life is precious, love is more expensive, if it is for freedom, both can be thrown away. But if there is a contract, even if there is no restriction, for some people, it should be unfree, right?

Zhang Deming didn't continue to speak, just nodded, and sighed inexplicably: "I probably understand, you Beast Race are really strange creatures!"

Shen Lingjun did not speak, and the two maintained this silence. Zhang Deming began to continuously collect the few books in Shenlingjun's collection.

······

After a long time, Zhang Deming frowned and said, "You are also a Beast King anyway, why is the library so stretched? Is there a secret room?"

Hearing the words, God made you, as if Zhang Deming violated his sacred purity, popped up, the face among the flowers looked at Zhang Deming and said:

"Go to other tribes and see, don't talk about other things, you can find a few Zangshuge like me, or, you can find how many ethnic groups with places like 'Zangshuge'. Turtle shell and stone pieces are included !”

"Eh...!" Zhang Deming finally realized that this is the Beast Race, not the human race.

"But you are also a Beast King who has survived for many years. Don't you have any information about the extinct weapon demon clan?" Zhang Deming changed the subject.

Shen Lingjun shook his head and said: "Even in ancient times, there were very few weapon demons, extremely rare. Because Spiritual Weapons have to be out of human control, and the conditions for independent control are too harsh.

Most of the psychic artifacts, after the death of their masters, are either sleeping or quietly waiting for the arrival of the next master.

What's more, in the era of new spells, in weapon cultivation, Fate Weapon monks are very popular. Traditional weapon cultivation has been extremely declining for many years, resulting in fewer and fewer Spiritual Weapons.

So the weapon demon has been extinct for a long time. If you want to find clues in the entire Ten Thousand Monster City, you must go to the Emperor Bird Clan! "

Between the words, Shen Lingjun's tone was a little uncertain, presumably he didn't know these things.

"With your status, are you qualified? I mean, are you qualified to visit directly?" Zhang Deming asked.

Lord Shenling was silent for a moment before replying: "I am also a demon saint after all, let's go and try it!"

Go try it?

In other words, is it really possible to be blocked?

Zhang Deming shook his head speechlessly, and joked with unclear meaning: "Yes, it seems that you are really a person who hangs out in the human race!"

Lord Shenling did not reply. After returning to the Vine Clan, he seemed to become very silent.

Zhang Deming clearly felt that there must be some story in this, which led to the current situation, and even made Shen Lingjun a little disgusted with Beast Race, and had the tendency to be a temptress.

But the other party had no intention of telling, and Zhang Deming had no intention of asking. After all, he was not coming to be the king to save the suffering, wild, and passionate Beast Race. He was just here to gather information.

······

Zhang Deming did not take immediate action, but stayed in the neighborhood for two days, asking about the general situation of the Vine Clan, and also learned about the current situation of Beast Race.

Generally speaking, the Emperor Bird clan has a faint tendency to retreat into seclusion and has not cared much about things for some years. As a royal family, the Dragon Clan only controls the overall situation because its population is too sparse.

The one in charge is Yi Ge, headed by the Monkey Clan and the Yalong Clan. Well, let’s call it Yi Ge for the time being.

However, Zhang Deming looked at the loose situation in Ten Thousand Monster City and the situation in the entire Beast Race. This council should probably be very crotch-stretching.

Early that morning, after figuring out the general situation, Zhang Deming left the neighborhood where the Veng clan was located and headed towards the center of Ten Thousand Demons City.

The overall layout of the entire City of Ten Thousand Demons is somewhat similar to the ancient capital city in previous lives. In an irregular valley and plain surrounded by mountains, a huge city lies.

In the very center of this giant city, there is a palace-like building that occupies about one-twentieth of the total area of ​​the entire giant city, which is considered very large.

After all, there is the God of the Great Monster of Liuhe, and the mansion is only on one street, and it is still a corner street.

······

Flying is generally not allowed in the City of Ten Thousand Monsters. Even though the Five Elements Great Monster has been able to fly against the air restrictions to a certain extent, no monster dares to do such a thing.

Obviously there is a ban, but this does not include the demon saints in the Liuhe stage. Like the human race, the beast race has also reached Liuhe, so there is a clear difference. In other words, the difference is more obvious here.

So Zhang Deming floated up from Yuteng Street, and his prejudice came to the palace like a palace. It landed at a gate of the palace. You can't fly in so casually.

Looking at the palace in front of him, Zhang Deming believed a little more about the legend of the Black Bird before Shen Lingjun.

Because it is completely different from the rough and huge stone city of Ten Thousand Demons City. It is a collection of beautiful buildings and jade buildings. Its exquisite style forms a sharp contrast with the messy strange stone buildings around it.

Moreover, Zhang Deming is also very familiar with this style. If I feel right, it should be the style of the Shenting era, and it is also the architectural style of the Lingxiao world.

‘Was it built later, or was it moved out that year? '

'That's all it was built later. If it had been moved, I'm afraid this palace... might be a special Grotto-Heaven artifact! '

Looking at the gorgeous palace in front of him that looked like it was made of white jade, Zhang Deming's thoughts flashed.

"I've seen the Great Saint of the Divine Order Jade Vine!" The gatekeeper was a team of Bird Tribe members. They looked at Zhang Deming floating down and immediately greeted him.

Obviously, if they are not familiar with Lord Shenling, there is still some order and timely information processing in the seemingly chaotic Demon City.

Zhang Deming believes that the latter is more likely.

Zhang Deming looked at everyone. There were five people guarding the door. These five people are the five most human-like people Zhang Deming has seen in the past few days. Even the etiquette is pretty standard, well, Beast Race etiquette.

They don't have any Beast Race features. The only thing that isn't harmonious is that each of their noses is a bit too pointed, which makes their eyes look very shadowy, and the overall facial features don't feel very soft.

After looking around, Zhang Deming nodded slightly and responded to several people indifferently. Seeing this, the captain of the five men immediately asked: "Great Saint Yuteng, are you looking for any ancestor when you come to the imperial palace?"

Zhang Deming nodded and said, "I want to meet High Priest Feiyu!"

The high priest of the Emperor Bird Clan is the person who controls the entire Emperor Bird Clan, that is, the highest leader. She is a woman with a relatively neutral name, Chi Feiyu, and is said to be a ruthless person.

Well, at least that's how it is in the story, the evil witch, the most depraved monster in the Beast Race, the source of all evil, and the root of the depravity of all living beings!

Anyway, it's very evil.

However, there are also a lot of anti-convention scripts, saying that he is the hidden boss in Beast Race, and is eventually taken over by the protagonist.

As for his cultivation, he should be in the Bagua stage. After all, he has the same name as Jian Chen and Qian Yu, and he is also a senior.

······

When the captain heard this, he showed an embarrassed expression and didn't say anything for a while.

Seeing this, Zhang Deming raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, if I haven't returned to this demon city for decades, I am not qualified to enter the underground palace, or even pass the news?"

The captain sensed Zhang Deming's dissatisfaction and immediately said in panic: "Great Saint Yuteng, you misunderstood. It's really that the younger ones can't communicate. Not to mention the high priest, even the ancestors, none of them are here." .

The entire imperial palace was probably only guarded by a small group of us, and the ancestors didn't explain anything before leaving. Under such circumstances, I don’t dare to let Great Saint go in and wait, so..."

Having said this, he looked at Zhang Deming anxiously and did not continue to speak. Zhang Deming frowned and asked doubtfully: "All of them are not here?"

The captain nodded and said: "Yes, not only here, but in this city now, except for a few demon saints who are in charge, the others should not be in the city."

As he spoke, without waiting for Zhang Deming to ask, he looked at Zhang Deming and took the initiative to explain: "This incident was actually very sudden. About a month ago, there was a sudden movement in the Black Bird Forbidden Land, and then that was it."

Zhang Deming was stunned, his eyes flashed, and asked: "Yue Xu? Twenty-seven days ago?"

The captain nodded without any surprise and said: "Well, Great Saint Yuteng, is this why you returned to the city? Do you think this will work?"

You will go back to your clan today. I think it will be about time when the results will come, and the ancestors will also come back.

If there is no result, it is not something that can be dealt with in a short time. Then some ancestors should also come back. How about informing the Great Saint immediately? "
