Westward Journey into Dragon

Chapter 73: Dark Clouds Overcome the City
The sun sank and the sky gradually darkened.When the darkness covered the earth and the stars lit up the night sky, Chen Xian, who was sitting cross-legged in the void with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and stood up slowly.

With a thought in Chen Xian's mind, the churning branches of earth's qi immediately quieted down.He turned around and looked at the nine combined monsters standing in mid-air, who seemed to be turning into statues, with the color of "the wind is rustling, the water is cold, and the strong man will never return" on his face, he couldn't help frowning stand up.He thought in his heart that his expression was wrong. They should feel honored that he entrusted them with such an important mission. Why are they all so bitter and bitter?
"Are you all ready?" Although he was puzzled, Chen Xian didn't ask any further questions. The stars were shining brightly, and it was a good time to set up the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, and nothing else was important, so he just asked lightly. .

"Ready..." Jiu Yao replied weakly.

"Uh..." Chen Xian almost choked on his own saliva. Compared with the scene where the Demon King of Confusion appeared and the group of monsters cheered "The king is mighty, wise, and domineering", he felt that the gap was too great.He thought to himself that it seems necessary to put the construction of slogans on the agenda, otherwise, when he fights with other demon kings for territory in the future, if the other demons cheer in unison and his own demons boo indiscriminately, it will be embarrassing. The four continents are here.But this is a matter of the future, and the current priority is to set up the air-forbidden formation and build the city, so he looked calm, waved his hands, and said in a dignified way: "Since you are ready, just follow what you said before, and everyone will take their places." , wait for my signal!"

After the nine demons each took a hollow pillar and stood at the designated position, Chen Xian stood in the air and ignited a flame, which was only a hundred feet high, and I believe the nine demons could see it.

After all, the Nine Demons are combined monsters, and their timing is very precise. After seeing the signal from Chen Xian, the Eighteen Hands loosened at the same time, and there was a loud "bang", and the bottoms of the nine hollow pillars simultaneously touched On the ground, the gap is only an instant.

Seeing that there were no flaws, Chen Xian hurriedly formed a magic seal with his hands, and sent out nine arm-thin purple thunderbolts, which hit the nine hollow pillars at the same time, activating the runes on them, and with a thought, the nine veins of earth's energy connected together.

Zi Lei fell on the nine sunken pillars, and the sunken pillars that were originally silent like ordinary stone pillars suddenly vibrated, and the mottled blood stains on them flickered like stars in the sky.Chen Xian looked up at the starry sky, maybe it was an illusion, or maybe it was a psychological effect, he felt that the stars in the sky seemed to be a little brighter.He shook his head and smiled, thinking that ever since the Yaozu invented the Zhoutian Xingdou formation, the power of the Zhoutian stars has been blocked and will not spread to the earth at all. Even if the lord of the heavenly court changes again and again, this bad habit remains No change.Although I can draw a trace of the power of the stars by relying on the formation, but if I want the stars to show visions, I am afraid that I will need to practice for 800 years.

After the light spots flickered two or three times, bright lines appeared on each hollow pillar, densely covering the surface of the pillar like patterns.At the same time, unique and strange energies diffused from each hollow pillar, blending and entangled with each other, interweaving into a strange aura, covering more than 100 miles around Duantianya, and engulfing the entire city. And extended several miles outward.

In this invisible aura, Chen Xian felt his body sank and fell to the ground involuntarily.Fortunately, he was the one who set up the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Trapped Formation. With a thought, the strange aura within one foot away from him left him, and his body stopped firmly at a height of three feet above the ground.

Because the group of demons have been informed before that after the air-forbidden formation is deployed, there will be a strange aura covering the whole city, so there is no commotion, and the city has not yet been built. Chen Xian feels the strength of the formation for a while, and is sure it can After prohibiting the middle-stage cultivators of Golden Immortals from flying around in the city, they shut down the formation and ordered the group of monsters to go back to their caves to rest. After the construction of the city starts tomorrow, they will fly directly back to Wolong Cave to sleep without mentioning it.

The next day, just after dawn, Chen Xian gathered the group of monsters in front of the Wolong Cave, and took out a city blueprint that he had painstakingly and thoughtfully contemplated for half a day, and directly copied the layout of the ancient Chang'an city.This blueprint divides the land according to strength. The stronger the strength, the bigger the skin you can get, and the closer to the city center, the bigger the mansion you can build. He also promised that the demons can build according to their own wishes on the allocated residential land For his own house, he will also send demons to lay the outermost foundations for them... After drawing countless big pies to the demons and writing countless empty checks, he finally got rid of the fact that he had not been paid for selling his labor for a long time, The enthusiasm of the group of monsters whose will had been a little depressed was mobilized.

Seeing that the group of monsters were full of chicken blood, he began to assign tasks.In fact, there is nothing to assign, except for leaving a thousand return-level monsters who are proficient in fire to build the city, the other monsters still have their old jobs and continue to burn bricks.

After the brick-burning monsters left, Chen Xian randomly selected a hundred monsters from the remaining monsters and asked them to build the embankment.There are countless rivers within a hundred miles of Duantian Cliff. I remember that at that time, I hadn’t obtained the bloodline inheritance, and I hadn’t started to practice. I took a bath in it and caught fish. Those were really memorable days. I ate and slept every day. Wake up and then eat, like raising a pig, carefree, much more relaxed than now.Of course, if he had to choose again, he would still choose to embark on the road of cultivation, not only because snakes are not easy to make, but also in order to live longer and enjoy more things.

When the city wall was first built, these rivers were all merged into one [-]-foot-wide river, which crossed the north and south gates. Chen Xian asked these more than a hundred demons to divert the river water from the upper reaches to other places, and then laid city bricks on the bottom of the river. , and then build river embankments, only the river section in the city can be repaired.

After the little demons who built the embankment left, Chen Xian divided the remaining [-] little demons into four groups. The first group was given a sewer construction drawing and asked them to build the sewers; The layout plan is to build bridges, pave roads, and excavate foundations; the fourth group is to build palaces for it according to the drawings he provided.

The palace design drawn by Chen Xian is very detailed and magnificent. It is twelve miles long and nine miles wide. The foundation is nine meters above the ground. There are 33 main halls and countless small halls. Wood has a problem.The most excessive thing is that these palaces have to use gold as pillars, glazed tiles, crystal windows, nanmu as beams, and white jade as walls... In short, they look like nouveau riche.

For mortals, such a palace may not be completed even if it is built for a hundred years. Not to mention the huge amount of work, the materials alone do not know where they come from, but it is difficult for these cultivated monsters.If it is gold, they can touch stones into gold. Although with their cultivation base, they can turn out half a catty of gold in a day at most, but they can't hold back the monsters. Chen Xian has already thought about it. Demons above Void Return can produce gold with all their strength, and they can gather the gold they need in ten and a half months; glass can be refined by themselves, although it is not the glass used to make the glass cup that was broken by Monk Sha, but it also has the shape of glass; for crystal, Think of the Dragon Palace in the Four Seas, and you will know how cheap this precious material in the mortal world is in the world of cultivating immortals; although nanmu is precious in later generations, it is cheaper than Chinese cabbage on the roadside in Xiniu Hezhou, a sparsely populated place, because in this world Well, Chen Xian hasn't seen anyone selling Chinese cabbage yet; as for white jade, when digging the foundation of the city, it seems that he dug out a vein. , is also worthy of use.

If he didn't want to finish the project quickly and avoid blinding his eyes, Chen Xian would have thought that the entire palace could be made of gold.As for why the palace was built so big, it was for the sake of face. He visited the demon market opened by the former hundred demon kings in Hezhou, Xiniu, and saw their lairs. Then refine the Houtian magic weapon palace, and the weak ones also have the best fairy-level magic weapon.Chen Xian was short of materials and his cultivation base was low, so he couldn't make such a high-level magic weapon, so he could only try to build the palace as magnificently as possible, so that he would not lose to others, but the gap seems to be even bigger, and the taste is too far away .

In order not to affect the construction of the palace by these master architects, Chen Xian directly used the technique of moving mountains, moved the thousand-foot-high Duantian Cliff outside the city wall, then walked into the Wolong Cave, and never came out again, as if he did not share the joys and sorrows with his subordinates style of pie.

Although the boss is gone, the younger brothers dare not be lazy. All the monsters in Wolong Cave except Chen Xian are enthusiastically building their homes, burning bricks, repairing embankments, paving roads, building sewers, laying foundations... everything is in order is going on.

The peaceful days lasted for nine days. The foundation of the palace had been laid. The monsters in Wolong Cave began to produce gold with all their strength. All are moving in a good direction.But things in the world are so strange, if you don't provoke others, they will provoke you, and in short, trouble will come to you.

"Are you the Jade Jiao King of Wolong Cave?" It was a celestial being who asked this question. According to the tiger demon king who brought it in, this monster is called Lingxi. The messenger who came said that he had something to discuss with himself.Chen Xian thought that the Fire Dragon Demon King was a Profound Immortal Demon King and was qualified to talk to him, so he asked the Tiger Demon King to bring Lingxi to the Crouching Dragon Cave. Unexpectedly, this girl was very crazy. asked with his own nose.

Sitting on the throne, Chen Xian frowned, and glared at the Tiger Demon King below, thinking that this big cat can really fucking talk, does it look like he has something to discuss with him? It's clearly here to provoke, okay?He was upset, the black tadpole symbol on his brow suddenly flashed a faint light, a hostility rose from his heart, and his eyes turned red. Air towards it.

With a "bang", the celestial demon king named Lingxi knelt down heavily on the ground, looking at Chen Xian in horror.

"The Fire Dragon Demon King sent you to have a word with me?" Chen Xian asked Lingxi with cold eyes.

Lingxi knelt on the ground, trembling non-stop, said tremblingly: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty asked me to tell you..."

Lingxi stopped here, with a hesitant look on his face.Chen Xian raised his eyebrows and asked impatiently, "What did you say?"

"Say... say he's taken a fancy to this place, and I'll ask you to make preparations in three days to welcome him!" Lingxi said with a firm face after hesitating for a while.

"Bang!" Chen Xian burst into anger, and directly increased the pressure of the ice dragon, pressing Lingxi to the ground.

"Tie it up with a demon rope, and throw it into the dungeon!" After Chen Xian said this, he returned to the quiet room.

Touching the Qingling jade that was supposed to be as cold as ice, but now it was scalding hot, Chen Xian frowned. The curse of the inner demon was really troublesome, and his mood swings were a little bit bigger, even the treasure-level meditation magic weapon couldn't suppress it.

After silently reciting the meditation mantra, Chen Xian sat cross-legged on the jade bed and continued to consolidate his realm. For the present plan, the only way to improve his cultivation level is to erase the curse of the inner demon as soon as possible.But this time is not the best time for a breakthrough, and three days later, the fire dragon demon king will come to Crouching Dragon Cave, and he has to prepare the welcome ceremony. If the realm is unstable, it is very rude.And if you break through to the Realm Realm, it will take half a month to consolidate the realm.Of course, being rude is a minor matter, if one loses one's cultivation due to unstable realm, it will be very difficult to practice it back, and to deal with a Xuanxian, the realm of Heavenly Immortal is enough, so there is no need to take risks.

Chen Xian originally thought that he would have to wait three days before the Fire Dragon Demon King came with drums and gongs, and during this period, he could practice quietly.Unexpectedly, within a day, he was startled by a forceful aura coming from the southwest, and woke up from his cultivation.He used the technique of seeing, hearing, listening, and saw a thousand miles away to the southwest, a Xuanxian demon king brought three real immortals and fourteen heavenly immortals, more than a thousand fusions, more than forty thousand ghosts returning to the void, and a mighty crowd. Pounced towards the Wolong Cave, along the way, the demonic aura soared to the sky, and the majestic aura was still compelling even though it was thousands of miles away.Without thinking about it, Chen Xian also knew that the Xuanxian Demon King who came there must be the Fire Dragon Demon King.

With a flash of Chen Xian's figure, he came to the outside of Wolong Cave, opened his spiritual eyes and looked to the southwest, and saw a thousand miles away above the sky, there was an evil dragon condensed by countless monsters, and it was rushing towards the Wolong Cave with its teeth and claws open. .

With the painful lesson of staring at Yinfeng Ridge and Skull Head, Chen Xian did not look at this evil dragon condensed by infinite evil energy, but looked at his own luck, and found that in this compelling situation Under the suppression of the aura, my original destiny did not change much, but the umbrella cloth made up of the gathered monsters' luck was trembling violently, as if it was about to leave me and return to its original owner. The seal of the gods is suppressing, I am afraid that the umbrella has already burst into pieces...
