Flower Moon

After realizing that Tao Yue'er was not joking, Hua Ling also completely sobered up.

"Look, I didn't lie to you." Pushing open the window of Hua Ling's room, Tao Yue'er pointed at the huge golden ladder descending from the sky in the direction of the royal city and said, "We have to hurry, otherwise we will fall behind."

After Tao Yue'er finished speaking, she took Hua Ling and left.

"Wait a minute." Hua Ling frowned and said without looking anxious at all, "I think something is weird."

"What's weird?" Tao Yue'er didn't see any problem at all and was very dissatisfied with Hua Ling's slowness.

"You were the one who urged me to leave before. Why are you so inactive today?" From Tao Yuer's point of view, this is the biggest weird thing.

Hua Ling looked out the window solemnly at the place that everyone was flocking to, and said: "If you were the Immortal Master of Penglai, you would lower the ladder from the clouds in such a straightforward manner and lead those five people who can stand out from the tens of thousands of people. Going to Penglai?"

"Why not? Didn't the old man himself say that there are five heaven-reaching ones?"

"..." Hua Ling was silent for a moment and said, "I can't do it anyway. It's too childish."

Tao Yue'er smiled and thought Hua Ling was really interesting.He clearly looks like a teenager. Three years have passed and time has not left any trace on his face. His appearance is still so green, young and clear, but his words are extremely mature.

I'm afraid he is the only one who dares to call Immortal Lord Penglai naive, right?
"It's okay to say this in front of me, but don't say it in front of others." Otherwise, if it arouses public outrage and makes Immortal Master Penglai blame her, she cannot bear the thunderous wrath of his old man.At that time, not to mention it was a ladder to heaven, it would be tragic if a lightning struck them to death.

Tao Yue'er pulled Hua Ling and ran towards the royal city.But at this moment, everything inside and outside the royal city was already blocked.Even the major entrances and exits where the Royal Guards were stationed on weekdays were at risk of being breached.

"Trespassers will be shot without mercy!" The city gate defender stood on the wall of the royal city and shouted, but his voice had long been drowned in the anger of the crowd.In fact, the next moment, a long sword made of ice crystals hit his chest.The long sword sank into the chest, passed through the chest, and then turned into a trace of water vapor, dense in the air.But the wound was real, and the guard fell down straight before he could say a word.

This is naturally what the Xuan cultivators do.And far more than just this one guard died.

The four city gates are nothing like this.

Xuan cultivators have always taken the protection of civilians as their duty and the goal of exterminating demons and defending the Tao. Today, in order to board the ladder, they openly killed the guards, which has already violated morality.In normal times, he would be thrown into the prison of Jiufangliao, put on trial together with the Nine Kingdoms, and then his head would be removed.But there were too many people at the moment, and they had no idea who shot the cold arrow, so naturally they couldn't find him.No one has time to take this little thing to heart.

Everyone squeezed in as hard as they could, hoping to be the first to climb the ladder and be so pious.

The royal city was destroyed, and the emperor who was in the palace was so frightened that he fled in all directions, not daring to appear in front of others.Just because Jingguo usually pays little attention to the affairs of Jiufangliao, and does not have the confidence that Liuguo has with Xuanqingzong, at this juncture, any guard with any ability is willing to climb the ladder first. Abandon them.

The royal family became the first group of people to be sacrificed. They could only put on civilian clothes and hide dejectedly in the crowd, waiting for opportunities.

The royal city soon became a river of blood.There are common people and occult cultivators, and they can't tell you from me.But as long as it blocks people's way to the ladder to heaven, people will kill people and Buddhas will kill Buddhas if they block it.

Tao Yue'er and Hua Ling, who were outside the crowd, saw all this and felt somewhat uncomfortable in their hearts.

"This is human nature, there is nothing to be sad about." Hua Ling saw that Tao Yue'er was very sad and comforted her: "It's very chaotic right now, let's just wait and see."

"it is good."

Tao Yue'er listened to Hua Ling's words and stood on the eaves of a tall building near the royal city from a distance.In the past, this was an inn. In Jingcheng, where the ladder to heaven was about to open, it was hard to find a room.But right now, the building is empty.There were only some waiters in the common shop who were not interested in the ladder at all, cleaning the room.

I was a little surprised to see Tao Yue'er and Hua Ling.

"At first glance, you look like you are not ordinary people, but Xuan cultivators, right?" the waiter asked.

"Yes." Tao Yue'er did not deny it.After all, two people are standing on the eaves, with their feet several feet above the ground. If they fall, they will be disabled or killed. If they don't have any skills, they really don't dare to stand here and watch the fun.

The waiter in the shop was confused: "Why don't you go to the ladder?"

Tao Yue'er originally wanted to take a look, but Hua Ling on the side took the lead and said: "The ladder to heaven seems to be close at hand, but in fact, it is far away." There was something in his words that the waiter couldn't understand, but Tao Yue I understand.

The entrance to the ladder seems to be in front of you, but there are a lot of people in front of you. Each of them wants to board the ladder, so there are countless hands to pull the person who boarded the ladder down from the cloud.

There are only five places, but there are thousands of people who are looking forward to their fall.

The fighting continued, and soon the royal city was filled with rivers of blood and mountains of corpses.

"What's the difference between this and prehistoric times?" Tao Yuer'er was stunned and looked in front of him.Although each of them is human, the things they do are almost the same as those of prehistoric monsters.They are all for their own benefit, recklessly hindering and hurting others.

Those who have the ability can last longer, while those who have no ability become the dead souls at everyone's feet.

"So, the number of monsters in the ancient world is also increasing day by day. After all, it is all evil that breeds in people's hearts. One day, the ancient world cannot contain those monsters, and that is when people will destroy themselves."

The fighting lasted all day and never stopped.

In the ancient wilderness, those monsters would rest due to the changes in day and night, but humans would not.The sun sets, the sun and the moon change, and only a steady stream of people come after hearing the wind, rushing towards the ladder one after another.

Tao Yue'er and Hua Ling watched from the eaves for a day and finally gave up.

"Go back." Tao Yuer said.

"Don't watch it?" Hua Ling sneered.

"Don't look at it."

"Why didn't you read it?"

"It's just a bloody fight with no results."

"You finally understand." After Hua Ling finished speaking, she shook her head with a smile, then turned and entered the house.

"Waiter, here's a roast chicken." There was still no one in the inn.But the restaurant business still needs to be done.

The waiter immediately responded and went to the kitchen to prepare.

"Can you still eat it?" Tao Yuer asked him in disbelief.

"Why can't I eat it?"

"So much blood... there are dead people outside!"

"It's not me who died, and it wasn't you who got hurt. Just let them make trouble." Hua Ling has no mercy, and the matter has nothing to do with her, so she just ignores her.
