The end of the world begins with failing an exam

Then.

A miracle happened.

Of course, this miracle does not mean that crazy old Chen was persuaded by Erga, but Erga, a master known as a holy monk, because Chen Bofu got angry for the first time in his life... To put it bluntly, he had never seen such a difficult creature to communicate with, and it was even worse than those polluted species with no IQ!

That day was the darkest moment in Erga's life.

He was angry for the first time.

It was also the first time in his life that he cursed.

"Even the compassionate Buddha can't save you, a damn bastard!"

The dispute ended with Chen Bofu running away with his men.

Although he also caused heavy casualties to the elders of the temple in the battle, it is undeniable that Erga was too strong, and even made Chen Bofu feel unprecedented pressure.

To be fair.

Erga, the leader of the temple, is much stronger than the Pope of Evernight City. It may also be because the gods of the temple have long descended to the world, so Erga's power is more terrifying.

That kind of "supernatural power" that can be used as easily as one's own arm only gave Chen Bofu a terrible headache.

As the saying goes, enemies are particularly jealous when they meet.

The reality seems to be the same.

When the elders of the temple saw Chen Bofu appear, their first reaction was to take revenge, but Erjia glanced at them lightly, and the elders immediately calmed down.

Revenge is important.

But some things are much more important than revenge.

For example, the life and death of the temple.

For example, the Buddha's mother...

"Lord Erjia!"

The moment Qiao Youning realized that the atmosphere was wrong, she hurried forward to greet Erjia and the elders, and at the same time winked at Chen Jing, indicating that the old man should control his temper a little, after all, they still had to discuss cooperation.

Of course, Chen Jing was not a fool.

He gently pulled the old man, with a warm and friendly smile on his face, as if he didn't hear the old man's previous curses, and greeted the old monk Erjia.

"Lord Erjia, I have heard about you from Youning a long time ago. It is true that hearing about you is not as good as meeting you in person..."

"I should say this."

Erjia seemed to have a good impression of Chen Jing. Seeing that the young man spoke politely, he was immediately surprised. After all, he knew that the little guy had the blood of Chen Crazy in his body... This kid should not be his grandson? !

"The Deep Space Resurrectionist is well-deserved..."

Erjia looked at Chen Jing and couldn't help sighing. In his bright and clear eyes, Chen Jing was not an entity... Yes, Erjia could see the difference between reality and illusion at a glance. In his eyes, Chen Jing was a terrifying polymer.

It was like countless black long lines as thick as hair, entangled and connected with each other until they aggregated into a human form.

Erjia could see it.

Those strange "threads" were the legendary deep space energy.

The vortex that rotates like a black hole in Chen Jing's chest is the "point" that connects the deep space with his body.

In Erga's eyes, rather than saying that Chen Jing is an ordinary person, it is better to say that he is a figure drawn by a sketch pencil. Even his beautiful eyes have become a golden halo in the shadow, burning silently like a fire that can burn everything.

The resurrected is the deep space.

This is a record that has appeared more than once in the ancient books of the temple.

It was also at this moment.

Erga understood the true meaning of this sentence.

Because the longer he stared at Chen Jing, the more clearly he could sense the deep space... as if the deep space was also watching him.

Erga was originally a person who transcended the mundane world, and he could face life and death calmly.

He thought he had long lost the emotions of those ordinary people, but at the moment when he was watched by the deep space, he had a feeling similar to fear.

This feeling made Erga very uncomfortable, so he just glanced at Chen Jing, and then quickly turned his eyes away and looked at the old madman with an impatient face on the side.

"Brother Chen, I haven't seen you for many years, you..."

"Stop! Don't be so polite!" Chen Bofu frowned and looked around, his expression very dissatisfied, "We came all the way here, you won't treat me with the vegetarian food in those temples, right?"

"Of course not, we don't just eat vegetarian food." Erjia said with a smile, then waved his long sleeves and led everyone to the gate of the "Buddha Mother Hall", "There are many people here, let's go in and talk."

Chen Jing and the old man walked side by side behind Erjia, and the other elders followed.

In the process.

Chen Jing couldn't help but look at the polar day outside the temple, only to find that this ancient city protected by the Buddha Mother was much larger than he imagined.

The temple built on the mountain should be at the highest point in the city. Looking down from above, there is almost nothing that can block the view... Compared with the modern style of the Evernight City, this place is more similar to the flourishing city in the costume film.

The ancient buildings in the city seem to be arranged according to a certain pattern. The rows of buildings are intermittently connected to divide the streets. From a high place, it seems that the whole city is divided into countless strange geometric figures in an orderly manner.

The city wall standing on the edge of the polar day city is hundreds of feet high and is even more majestic.

The city wall under the sun seems to be covered by a layer of colorful halo symbolizing auspiciousness and peace. The matte wall that looks like metal is engraved with the temple's Buddha Mother pictures and nameless mantras.

The face of the Buddha Mother in the Buddha Mother picture is compassionate and sympathetic to all living beings, and the patterns in the mantras flow quietly with the colorful Buddha light...

From where Chen Jing was standing, he could see that the streets of Jiju City were crowded with black dots the size of ants. They were all people living in Jizhou City.

Although Chen Jing was in the temple and couldn't hear the noisy and chaotic sounds in the city, he was still shocked by the sight of people flowing like weaving carts, which seemed like a scene from a prosperous age.

"What a Buddhist country in troubled times..."

Chen Jing looked at the bustling scene in the city and couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Thinking of the people in the desolate Western Continent, I just feel that they are all trying to survive in the apocalypse. How can they be so full of life in Jishi...

"Be careful."

"I heard the voice of the Buddha Mother."

Chapter 524: The Land of Elysium in Troubled Times (Part 2)

Every city in the world has its own characteristics.

Just like eternal night.

It is characterized by a cold and murderous temperament, and the seemingly chaotic city follows a certain order, barely running in an orderly and stable manner.

And the hanging city...

Chen Jing had never been to that place personally, but based on Li Mobai's and the others' descriptions, the city was like a giant machine that used humans as fuel.

All humans living there are part of this giant machine, some are screws and some are gears. Whether they are willing or not, they must push the city forward.

Only Jishidu.

Chen Jing felt that this was the place where a living person should stay.

At least judging from the descriptions of Qiao Youning and the old man, the order here is more stable and easier for ordinary people to survive, and the restrictions on those ancient descendants with power are stricter.

Therefore, many people think that Jiridu is a peaceful land in troubled times.

Although this place has a lot of preferential treatment for the monks in the temple, at least they are not as condescending as the alchemists in Hanging City.

Chen Jing followed Erjia into the Buddha Mother Hall. As soon as he entered, he was dazzled by the extraordinary "first hall of the temple".

It's literally resplendent.

It is as if the entire building is made of gold. Even the floor under your feet is covered with countless gems of different colors. The statue of the Buddha sitting in the hall is made of some kind of precious extraterrestrial mineral. It seems that The metal is cool and crystal clear like glass, which is a kind of indescribable sacred solemnity.

Wait until the last person steps into the Buddha Mother Hall.

The heavy door closed quietly.

Chen Jing and Chen Bofu sat on the left side of the Buddha statue, while everyone in the temple sat on the right side of the Buddha statue.

Erga is not a slow-tempered and soft-tempered monk. His character is actually completely different from what he gives people. To a certain extent, he is even more resolute than Chen Bofu.

No politeness, no small talk.

As soon as he sat down, he chatted with Chen Jing about business.

"Many people want you dead now." Erjia looked helplessly at Chen Jing, who was sitting opposite him. He felt a little headache when talking about the external situation. "If they know that the temple has private contact with you, I'm afraid we will also have a big problem." trouble."

"You are not a person who is afraid of trouble." Chen Bofu didn't care whether smoking was prohibited in the temple. He lit one as soon as he took his seat. He looked at the seated statue of the Buddha with squinting eyes. The more he looked at it, the more he felt displeased. "Ejia, By cooperating with my grandson, your temple will also benefit a lot..."

"For example?" Erga asked curiously.

"For example..." Chen Boxu touched the stubble on his chin, and after smacking his lips for a long time, he finally managed to say, "Deep Space will not treat you as enemies."

Upon hearing this, the elders present could not sit still. Even the elder with the best temper... the one who had dealt with Chen Jing last time, was so angry that he blew his beard when he heard the old man say this. Staring, I wonder if this lunatic really doesn’t take our temple seriously?

"Well, this is indeed a benefit."

Erga was not angry because he knew the weight of Chen Boxu's words.

If you are not the enemy of deep space, you are the friend of deep space.

This seemingly illusory benefit.

Even the kings of the old days did not dare to look down upon him.

"Lord Ega." An elder on the side suddenly spoke and mentioned in a soft voice, "Now those alchemists have formed an alliance with the Hermitage. If we rashly agree to cooperate with Deep Space, I am afraid that we will cause a big disaster. Hundreds of millions of people may also be affected by the war..."

"Damn, if you don't want to cooperate, you should have told me earlier. I'm not begging you. If it weren't for Xiao Youning's sake..." Chen Bofu stood up and cursed impatiently, "So I thought you guys The people in the temple are all considered figures, at least better than the iron-headed alchemists in Hanging City, and better than those idiots in Yongye, but now it seems that you are not as good as..."

Chen Jing gently pulled the old man and signaled him to stop talking.

Since everyone expressed a tendency to form an alliance and cooperate before coming here, what the elder mentioned now... was nothing more than trying to increase the leverage on Chen Jing's side.

"Master Erjia, how about we be more direct and discuss the conditions for cooperation?" Chen Jing said it straight to the point, making Erjia feel a little embarrassed for a moment, "But I hope the conditions proposed by your temple are not too outrageous. , because to be honest, I don’t need the help of the temple, and the group of alchemists and monks pose no threat to me. "

After saying that, Chen Jing glanced at the elders behind Erjia again.

"I came to Guisi to cooperate mainly because of Youning's face. This is a second home for Youning, so I don't want to see Guisi standing on the opposite side of me one day..."

"Your opponents?" An armless elder sneered, "Are you threatening our temple?"

"I'm just stating the facts."

Chen Jing looked at the elder calmly, still with a polite and friendly smile on his face, but there was a golden light flashing in his eyes, like some ancient totem slowly rotating in his eyes.

"I don't need your temple to help me do anything, I just hope you don't stand on the opposite side of me, that's all."

"Can you deal with Turing of the Hanging City and Gehero of the Eternal Night by yourself?" The elder on the side spoke.

"Of course not now." Chen Jing smiled, seemingly speaking in a vague and unrealistic way, but the tone of stating facts made everyone believe it, "But it won't be long before Turing and Gehlo will not be my opponents. The so-called ancient gods are simply vulnerable in front of the deep space."

"Arrogant!"

"You are indeed the grandson of that madman! This kid is really a madman..."

"I think you are itching for trouble?" Chen Bofu couldn't stand anyone singing against his grandson, so he slowly rolled up his sleeves, "How about I teach you another lesson in the temple? Have you forgotten how I slapped you in the face?"

Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall gradually became tense, Qiao Youning, who was sitting next to Erga, also became anxious.

While persuading the elders beside her, she winked at Chen Jing to persuade him to persuade the old man... But at this time, she found that Chen Jing was a little absent-minded, as if he didn't see her eyes signal, and he was always staring at the Buddha statue beside him in a daze.

At this time.

Chen Jing was indeed in a trance.

Because he was talking to the "self" in his mind.

"You said you heard the voice of the Buddha Mother?"

"Yes."

"Is the Buddha Mother talking?"

"No... it seems to be laughing."

"?"

"Anyway, I feel that it is very excited because of your arrival, and the excitement is a bit weird..."

"I don't know it, why is it so excited?"
