The end of the world begins with failing an exam

"Oh no." Qiao Youning came to the old man's side and took out a crystal clear white jade bottle from his backpack. "Grandpa, this is the 'Baixi Wine' that I secretly took out from the temple's treasure house. The whole temple can Not much..."

Before Qiao Youning could finish her words, Chen Bofu snatched it away, his expression suddenly becoming serious.

"What does taking something secretly mean? The temple is your home! Does taking things at home count as stealing?"

"Yeah, it doesn't count!"

"Hey, don't tell me, I've been craving this drink from the temple for so many years. I guess you have a filial piety!" Old Chen Bofu almost burst into laughter, stroking the white jade bottle in his arms with a cherished look on his face. , "Brewed from the hearts of hundreds of polluted species, you are too extravagant..."

"As long as you like it." Qiao Youning held her chin with her hands obediently, looking at this old man who looked fierce but was actually cute, with a smile on her face, "Just tell me what you like to eat and drink, as long as the temple and Jizhou have it, I will Get it all back for you!”

Upon hearing this, Chen Bofu was so moved that he didn't know what to say.

This girl is so good!

Even my grandson is more filial!

Thinking back to the time when he was being given medicine, Chen Bofu was so angry that he felt that his grandson was being too unreasonable and had no regard for the love between his grandson and his grandson. If he said that he was given medicine, he would be doomed to die! I don’t even know what step-by-step means!

"Look, I just said they didn't meet each other when they were studying."

Like a ghost, Yan Que suddenly appeared behind Wei Nan, scaring her so much that she trembled immediately.

"I've seen it a long time ago." Yanque said proudly, but his face remained expressionless.

"How did you tell?" Wei Nan was also puzzled and a little angry at the same time, because she felt that Chen Jing should not lie to her. We are all friends. Why would Mao also lie to me?

"When A Jing lies, his eyes can't help but shift to the side of the other person, but you can't tell if you don't look carefully."

"Damn it, are you observing so carefully?" Wei Nan was shocked when he heard what she said, and then raised his finger to point at his face, "I should be much better than him, right? I have no flaws in my lies, right?"

"……Um."

"Is it right? Just tell me whether it's right or not!" Wei Nan grabbed Yan Que's arm and shook it wildly, not knowing what self-knowledge meant.

"This is you..."

Yan Que suddenly rushed out mid-sentence and stood behind Chen Boxu and Qiao Youning, ready for a counterattack.

"You are full of flaws. When you lie, you smile more joyfully than anyone else. If you don't know, you think it's New Year's Eve in your family."

"What the hell!"

Just when Wei Nan was angry and wanted to rush over to seek justice, Chen Bofu suddenly stood up and snuffed out his half-smoked cigarette.

"Old man...don't you want to help her bully me..." Wei Nan asked cautiously.

"What a bully." Chen Bofu had a cheerful face, looking at the black star that kept approaching the river valley, and finally let go of the stone hanging in his heart, "My grandson is back!"

In fact, the time that Chen Jing communicated with "Xi" was not long, not even ten minutes, which can be said to be very short.

A few minutes ago.

They communicated at a normal volume, and Chen Bofu and the others could hear it.

But after a few minutes.

I don’t know what they were talking about. They both deliberately lowered their voices, and even Chen Boxu couldn’t hear clearly...

soon.

Chen Jing sat on the black star and wandered back.

"Done."

The moment he landed, Chen Jing raised his hand to take back the black star, and summoned Bai Aji from the deep space, intending to use it instead.

"What are you talking about?" Chen Boxu asked curiously, looking at his good grandson up and down, a little worried, "That ancient god didn't make things difficult for you, right?"

"It was a good conversation."

Chen Jing said with a smile, and slowly put away the yellow robe on his body.

"I said we were going to the dungeon, but it said it wouldn't let us go, saying that was its lair."

"Then what?" Chen Bofu became even more curious. He only regretted that he didn't go there with his good grandson to learn more. If he had been there, he would have tasted more delicious!

"I said we were just going for a stroll and gaining some experience, but it didn't believe it and refused to let us pass..." Chen Jing sighed helplessly.

"So we won't go?" Wei Nan looked disappointed.

"Go, I told it, we are definitely going. If you insist on stopping us and causing any unpleasant misunderstandings, it may cause trouble for everyone..."

When Chen Jing said this, he turned back and glanced in the direction where the ancient god appeared before.

"It laughs at me for daring to threaten it before it rises. I laugh at it for not being able to kill me with one blow."

"...Are you guys quarreling?" Chen Bofu was stunned, because the content of these conversations sounded like they were mocking each other, and it was the kind of mockery that might lead to death in the next second.

"It doesn't matter, it's quite harmonious."

Chen Jing shrugged, with the smile still on his face.

"Anyway, I've made the stakes clear to it. If it insists on stopping us, then we won't go today, but we will definitely come back in a few years. By then..."

"Maybe I'm not so easy to talk to."

Chapter 426 Everything is in the palm of your hand (Part 1)

have to say.

Some things are just full of coincidences.

After seeing the map drawn by Chen Jing using energy, the mouse named Jerry immediately determined that the "Old Treasure House" marked on the map was the location of the underground city.

"Would the fact that the old descendants chose to build the city there have anything to do with the Old Treasure House?"

"I don't know."

"Could it be that they have found the treasure house, so they are able to unite and expel those polluting species?"

"If they really found the treasure house, I'm afraid that it would not only be those polluting species that were expelled. Maybe they would have begun to conquer this continent thousands of years ago, and organizations like the Parliament would have no chance to rise."

...

On the way to the Styx, Chen Jing had been chatting with "him" about the underground city, especially the connection between the Paradise City and the Old Treasure House.

No matter how he thought about it... Chen Jing felt that the old descendants must have discovered something underground, and the ancient gods of the Western Continent were summoned from the coordinates of the Old Treasure House.

"My dear grandson, you said that the ancient god didn't want us to go to the underground city, saying that it was its lair... Could this have something to do with the old treasure house?"

Sitting on Bai Aji's back, Chen Bofu stared at the undulating mountains in the distance, and felt that the surface of the Western Continent seemed to have turned into liquid, surging like the tide in the sea.

This is the strange phenomenon caused by the appearance of the ancient god.

When he and Randolph and others broke into the Western Continent, he had seen this chilling scene. He didn't expect that it would still be the same after so many years, and...this ancient god seemed to be much stronger than before.

The last time I came to the Western Continent, the strange phenomenon caused by the ancient god covered an area of ​​about hundreds of kilometers. In that area, everything merged with the ancient god, and almost every loess and sand became a part of the ancient god.

But this time.

At least thousands of kilometers of land were "alienated" by it.

"It should know about the old treasure house." Chen Jing calmly looked at the winding and twisting mountain ahead, and whispered, "So it doesn't want us to go, it's that simple."

"Then if we go now, will it be..." Chen Bofu frowned.

"Before I went to negotiate with it, I left a mark of deep space on you, which is the proof that you can enter deep space..."

When Chen Jing said this, everyone, including Jerry the mouse, had a vague golden totem on their chests.

That was the mark of King Huang.

But now it belongs to Chen Jing.

"Is this your reliance on negotiating with it?"

"I guess so." Chen Jing smiled and scratched his head, saying helplessly, "To be honest, I am quite afraid of this ancient god of the Western Continent. Although it says that you will not be attacked by it if you don't violate its rules, who knows if it will suddenly change its mind?"

Hearing this, Chen Bofu couldn't help but nod.

In fact, this is what he has always been worried about.

The rules of the ancient gods are not necessarily rules. They are just some kind of "rules" passed down from generation to generation on this continent. For those tribes that have lived here for a long time, it is like you must hold your breath when you jump into the water, otherwise you will drown and suffocate...

Yes.

This is just a rule.

So who can guarantee that the ancient gods can "keep their words" and always follow this rule?

"Grandpa, when I heard you tell me that there was an ancient god living here, I felt something was wrong..."

Chen Jing whispered, thinking of the treasure map found in the two-dimensional space, his brows couldn't help but frown more and more.

"Like this kind of old creature that can be called a 'god', it is definitely not comparable to the old descendants and polluted species of the current era. It has lived here for thousands of years, and it is impossible for it not to know the existence of the treasure house..."

According to the markings and prompts in the treasure map, Chen Jing can be sure that the treasure house is not in any secret space.

It is underground.

Maybe hundreds of meters.

Maybe thousands of meters.

In short, it must be buried deep underground, not split and placed in an alien dimension space.

So "Xi" probably knows about its existence.

That's why Chen Jing wants to negotiate with it.

Everyone is in the open, but the ancient god is in the dark.

Instead of letting both sides pretend to ignore each other's existence temporarily and be cautious in the dark, it is better to come directly to shock the tiger.

Maybe this deterrence is useful, or maybe it is only useful on the surface.

But it's always good to give it a try.

If it is useful, it can save a lot of trouble. If it is not useful... at least you will be prepared to be attacked by the ancient god and no longer have any other ideas about the so-called rules of the Western Continent.

In fact, Chen Jing has always had a backup plan.

It's just that he didn't mention this plan to anyone because he couldn't be sure of the success rate of this plan.

"If I always use deep space jumps to go to the destination, after finding the treasure house, I will directly send everything in the treasure house into deep space, and then pat my butt and leave..."

Chen Jing was still talking about this with "him" before, and "his" views are consistent with Chen Jing's ideas.

Let's see what happens first.

Because there is no way to determine whether those things can be "moved away" at present, and it is even uncertain whether the deep space jump method can enter the treasure house, so this is destined to be a backup plan.

Only when the relationship with the ancient gods is completely torn apart, it is worth taking the risk of doing this while running away.

"We are here."

When Chen Bofu stood up with a cigarette in his mouth, Chen Jing also saw a huge ring appearing on the ground in front of him.

That was the so-called "River Styx", a dark-colored ring-shaped river.

From a distance.

The River Styx was like a huge ring lying on the ground. The land in the center had become as muddy as a swamp, while the ring-shaped rivers around it were as quiet as dead water.

The wind on the wasteland was very strong.

But the surface of the River Styx was as calm as a mirror.

There were strange colors flowing on the dark water, as if someone had dumped gasoline in the water. The sticky river water exuded a foul odor...

"I remember Jerry said that the entrance to the underground city was a vertical downward staircase passage, which could only be seen by outsiders when it floated up in the River Styx."

Chen Jing shrugged helplessly.

"It seems that we are unlucky, the passage has not floated up..."

"Wait a little longer!" Jerry, wearing a mini tuxedo and a top hat that he got from nowhere, stood on Chen Jing's shoulder and looked at the Styx, "Maybe the passage will appear soon!"

"What the hell are you waiting for! Can't we just think of another way to get down!"

Chen Bofu climbed to the top of Bai Aji's head and looked down, and a crazy smile suddenly appeared on his old face.

"If I knew that the underground city was hidden in this stinking ditch, I would have broken in eight lifetimes ago..."
