Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 563 The only history
13 years ago, Shenjing City.

The gray sky was like a dirty curtain, and the afternoon sun struggled to poke holes through the thick clouds.Situ Yi sat on the second floor of the teahouse, ordered a pot of good tea, and listened to the babbling Peking Opera on the old TV.

"I remembered the day when you and I first met. The weather was also gloomy that day. I was bored and shouted on the streets of Shenjing City, wanting to vent my boredom, but I never thought that someone in the vast sea of ​​people heard my voice." The Lord of Law said.

He stood by the railing of the teahouse, looking indifferently at the bustling crowd downstairs, like a child looking at the ants carrying food under the tree.Situ Yi closed his eyes and listened to the play for a while, and then said leisurely: "Sadness over the spring and autumn are not ordinary words. My dear friend is really depressed in his heart."

"I can't help but feel better." Lord Yinlu said, "You guys are having a great time causing trouble in the capital, but I still have to clean up the mess afterwards. I don't know how much dirty nonsense I have heard from incompetent bureaucrats in the past few days. I accept it." The fear of many idle people. Every time at this moment, I wish I could blow away this useless city with one punch, so that I can be completely freed."

"If you don't do it, why are you arrogant?" Situ Yi smiled, "I have four classmates who have their own abilities. My dear friend can introduce them to me if necessary."

"No, I'm in a broken state now and I'm no match for them. You, Situ Yi, are so audacious that you dare to team up with me. If those loyal and patriotic people knew about it, I'm afraid they'd rather beat me back to being mentally retarded." Lord Yinlu sneered, "Information The collection is almost complete, I want to see what the current emperor thinks, and I don’t want to take action."

"I obey the decree~~~"

Situ Yi answered casually and immediately turned his head when he saw Lord Yin Lu walking out of the teahouse.His attention was not on this friend at all, but he kept watching the Peking Opera on TV with fascination.It wasn't until the play was over and he said "hello" that he reluctantly put down his tea bowl and left the teahouse.

On the way back to Taixue, Situ Yi went to the medical school and chatted for a few words with his sick friend, who told him to get out of his way in disgust.He then went to the video store and bought several rare vinyl records with a lot of money.He solemnly put the old record into his sleeve and brought it into his school in the inner gate.

Situ Yi's wooden house is a water house built on the lakeside. The barrier inside Taixue retains a suitable climate. When you open the door, you can see a pool of emerald green spring water, just like the water town where he lived when he was a child.He put the records neatly on the bookshelf, took out a map of Shenjing City, and made some small notes with a pen. He wrote "Wandering in the Garden", "Leaving the Soul", "Dreams", etc., all of which were The title of the play on the vinyl record.

After Situ Yi finished writing, he put away his pen with great satisfaction. He opened the curtains and looked across the lake. He saw the painter in black lying on the roof of the wooden house on the other side of the lake. The gray-haired young man stood in the tall grass by the lake and shouted to him.

"Teacher Zhang, let me tell you!" Gongsun Ce shouted, "If you don't submit to self-examination, get out!"

"I won't write a damn review if I didn't do anything wrong." Yan Qi dismissed it.

"I've scratched my head and haven't even written a thousand words. Are you a Pig?"

"Don't say a thousand words. I don't even bother to write even one word of such a useless thing." Yan Qi yawned, "You can just write it for me if you have such leisure."

"That's great. I have time to sleep on the roof and no time to write." Gongsun Ce pushed up his glasses and said, "You can help me if you want. It's not in vain. Tell me what's wrong with your eyes."

Yan Qi turned his head halfway and rarely said anything: "You, such a smooth talker, can't understand your face now? Do you think anyone in the inner sect has mentioned this matter?"

Gongsun Ce put his hands behind his head, lay down carelessly on the grass, and suddenly said, "Have I ever told you about my hometown?"

"I'm not interested in listening to your nonsense."

"My hometown is a place that pays great attention to rules. Everyone has a tacit understanding not to touch each other's privacy. Even if you don't see your friends every day, you will never ask about other people's past. We all think this is a basic understanding and Respect and keeping a distance is good for everyone." Gongsun Ce said, "It wasn't until we grew up that we discovered that this rule was so stupid that it just kept everyone at a distance and never moved forward. In fact, true friends should If you know yourself and your enemy, speak directly when you have something to say. If you like to talk, don't talk and push back. Friendship is not fragile enough to collapse because of such a trivial matter."

"It seems that your hometown is full of idiots." Yan Qi sneered, "I don't want to mention it, so get out of here."

"I don't want to mention writing a self-criticism." Gongsun Ce shrugged, "Can you help me see how I designed this move when you have time?"

The atmosphere around the two people suddenly stagnated, as if even the space had turned into a rock, making it difficult to breathe.Gongsun Ce took action without any warning, slashing an emerald green sword light diagonally, as if the spring water in the lake had turned into a killing weapon.Such a sharp killing move is definitely not something that should be used in a sparring match. It appears just to take people's lives. However, Yan Qi didn't even raise his head. He just drew an ink-colored scabbard with his pen and accepted the move. The light of the knife.

"Painting a tiger is not like a dog, it's a piece of junk." Yan Qi sneered.

Gongsun Ce was unconvinced: "Why should I be careless? This Rakshasa sword of mine is definitely of the highest quality. It is based on the unique skills of sword masters. It highlights the idea of ​​blocking time and killing the enemy on sight..."

"No matter how high your intentions are, it's useless. You use your own methods to copy other people's unique skills, but are you a master of swordsmanship?" Yan Qi sneered, "You don't even know how to use swordsmanship. What a waste of time you learn! You kill Ten thousand swords are not as good as the Rakshasa's own sword."

"What the hell you said makes sense." Gongsun Ce put away his magical power and sat down cross-legged, "But I already have the magical power of the 'sword'. Without the 'sword', there is no way to fight against the time and space blockade... The original pile driver It seems a bit rough now..."

"What a fucking fool. Do you have a talent for Brahma-Xiang?" Yan Qi looked scornful, "The core of Brahma-Xiang is Ding. Even if you want to find weapons for the devil, you still need to find someone who can determine the world. Method."

"You might as well use the devil's arm to use the vajra, it is the devil who protects all living beings in this world of chaos~"

Situ Yi floated over like a ghost and gave some advice as a joke.Gongsun Ce became angry when he saw this dummy. He wanted to reject it outright. The more he thought about it, the more reasonable it became. He couldn't help but feel even more unhappy: "Have I asked you?"

Situ Yi raised his eyes and smiled like a white snake: "Gongsun is dedicated to learning, so of course we will help him~"

After quickly adapting to life in the inner sect of Taixue, Gongsun Ce found an important secondary task for himself: learning. Thirteen years ago, there was a gathering of elites from the inner sect of Taixue. Even though Yan Qi, Qin Ming and the others had not grown to be as powerful as they would later be, Gongsun Ce benefited a lot from the exchanges with the four inner sects.After the fight, our relationship became much better. He simply asked someone for advice every day - he felt particularly at ease with Yan Qi. After all, they were both masters and apprentices 13 years later. It was different to ask for advice early and later.

This proactive attitude made him very popular with Zhang Hongzheng, who more than once praised the new classmates for their enthusiasm in learning and also criticized some old bastards who were eating, drinking and having fun all day long.However, Gongsun Ce himself was not very happy because there was little progress in his official business.

After the day of riot in Shenjing City, the progress of historical revision turned to the negative side.Gongsun Ce fell into a state of confusion. Where is the point of disagreement in this so-called virtual history? Thirteen years ago, the disaster in the sky had not happened yet, and Situ Yi and the others had not yet broken up. After thinking about it, the only ones who had the ability to influence history were the current inner sect of Taixue.The incident with Master Jing had already confirmed his suspicions, but this time, helping Yan Qi to cause trouble caused the progress to go backwards...

Is it possible that he came to correct history, but had to do things that "go against" history to be successful?

"What the hell is time and space..." Gongsun Ce lamented quietly.

"Time is like an arrow from the string. Once it is shot, there is no turning back. Space is a vast prison. It seems empty but is restricted everywhere." Yan Qi said, "It's all rubbish."

Gongsun Ce subconsciously started to argue. Every time he listened to Yan Qi's speech, he wanted to argue: "Why can't we turn back? There are so many caves and paradises in our empire, and there will be time travelers every few years..."

"You are really stupid in practicing swordsmanship. When have you ever seen the cave from the future to the past?" Yan Qi sneered.

Gongsun Ce was stunned: "There are no people from the future?"

"If people could travel from the future to the past, the world would be in chaos."

Liu Zhongwu came over with a bag of pancakes from the cafeteria, threw one to each of the three, and casually interjected: "Let me state in advance that I don't mean to blame anyone, but Gongsun Ce, your master back then was too irresponsible. So. Why don’t we talk about basic things? There is only history, but the future is unlimited. This is our empire’s basic view of time and space.”

The keen intuition he had honed over the years exploded in Gongsun Ce's mind, and he realized that he had touched the key.At that moment, Gongsun Ce didn't even bother to eat the pancakes. He hurriedly asked: "Why? Aren't they all traveling through time and space?"

"How can someone as smart as you ask such a question?" Liu Zhongwu laughed, "Gongsun Ce, think about it, if a person goes back to the past and changes the past, wouldn't the 'history' he originally knew cease to exist? The future is determined by the past, and the development after the foundation has changed will naturally be very different. This is fundamentally contradictory to the stability of the Brahma-bound world. Therefore, Dongtian Paradise can only change the future, but cannot shake the past."

"What about the Patrol Division?" Gongsun Ce asked, "Where are the pedestrians responsible for handling the out-of-order factors? How will they get home after going to the future?"

Liu Zhongwu shook his head silently without saying a word.Gongsun Ce suddenly understood. He understood what the work of the Zhouzhou Division was about, and how those who were ordered to time travel spent the rest of their lives.

"I'm sorry." Gongsun Ce held the pancake fruit in his hands and didn't take a bite for a long time, "I'm sorry..."

Yan Qi jumped down from the roof, and took the rare initiative to pat him on the shoulder: "Don't fucking think about it, kid. You, who patrols the Zeus Division, have traveled through time just like us, so we are all unlucky together." Gongsun Ce didn't take a breath: "No... who said I was from the Zhouzhou Division! I was born and raised here!"

"Fuck your mother's fart."

"Oh...it's not easy for everyone..."

"We are both fallen people at the end of the world, so why should we have known each other before when we meet~"

The three people on the side looked at Gongsun Ce with sympathy, as if "this unlucky boy was deceived by a sinister boss", which made Gongsun Ce dumbfounded, and even the atmosphere of chatting became quite bleak.

Liu Zhongwu finished eating the pancakes and was thinking of a comforting words. Before he could say anything, he saw a gust of green wind blowing in, blowing everyone's faces covered with dust.

Qin Ming ran over with a shout, holding his excited niece in his hand: "There is a lantern festival in the city tonight, let's go see the lanterns!"

"Can you look at the atmosphere!" Liu Zhongwu jumped in anger, "Idiot!"

·
The outer curtain walls of skyscrapers light up with bright colors, every household hangs red lanterns in front of their doors, and there are lanterns carefully made by craftsmen everywhere in the streets and alleys.Tonight, the city of Shenjing is overflowing with light. Countless rays of light are shining under the night, making Shenjing the brightest city in the world.The citizens prayed in the light one after another, hoping that the empire would be safe and prosperous for a long time, and that the emperor would protect the health of all people.

"It's so beautiful." Gongsun Ce sighed, "This is the first time I've seen the Imperial Capital Lantern Festival since I was a child."

"You said earlier that you were born and raised here..." Liu Zhongwu said.

"Smile, do you even believe what I say?"

"You're talking nonsense, don't be shy." Qin Qianbai puffed up his cheeks.

"Hey, say a few more words, Uncle Gongsun would like to hear it."

Gongsun Ce immediately leaned over and smiled so loudly that it could be described as a bitch.Xiao Qin Qianbai took two steps back in disgust, turned around and hid behind Situ Yi's white robe, no matter how sweet Gongsun Ce said, he would not show his face.Gongsun Ce opened his teeth and claws to catch her, and two people, one big and one small, started running around the tall and thin ghost, like a cat and a mouse under a big pale tree.

Qin Ming looked at him and laughed. Yan Qi felt deeply embarrassed: "When I meet a little girl, she looks stupider than Qin Ming. What a shame!"

The six people, five large and one small, ignored the surprised looks of others and walked their own way under the lights.The lively lantern festival was crowded with tourists, and the sounds of merchants from both sides could be heard constantly. As far as the eye could see, there was a joyous scene of family reunions. The last month of 97 is coming to an end soon. After the Lantern Festival is the New Year, and everyone is very happy.

Yan Qi breathed out through his nose, Qin Qianbai tilted his head: "Uncle Yan is not happy."

Situ Yi sang and harmonized: "I have been frowning for many years, and my face is covered with dark clouds every day. I am afraid that the devil from the sky will come down to the earth and kill the vast earth~"

The other three people all laughed inwardly after hearing this.Yan Qi is such a eccentric person. He is either dismissive or arrogant all day long, and there is nothing he really likes. No matter how refined the person is who can liven up the atmosphere, he will be defeated by his stinky face. Come.

"I asked you, can you take a look at the atmosphere?" Gongsun Ce said, "It's the Chinese New Year soon. Everyone on the street is happy, but you, Yan Qi, have a stinky face. Is it appropriate for you?"

Yan Qi said "ha" with disdain: "What do you know? People in this city must be happy every day, and it has nothing to do with not celebrating the New Year!"

This time, there seemed to be more to the yin and yang than there was. Gongsun Ce pondered for a moment and asked tentatively: "Are you talking about... something that is 'hidden from everyone'?"

"Still pretending!" Yan Qi sneered, "Go on, whoever is pretending is a fool!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming started talking about business again, and quickly took Qin Qianbai to the side to buy candy.Liu Zhongwu cleared his throat: "Gongsun Ce, everyone is not a fool. Everyone knows who you are doing and what you are doing. There is no point in pretending at this time..."

Gongsun Cexin said that you only know one but not the other. How can I scare you if I tell you what year I was appointed as the Xunzhou Secretary?He touched his head pretending to be embarrassed and said with a sneer: "I don't know much about it. The superiors told me that this thing can hide the signs of the impermanent law, but in the end it disappeared. I tried it a few times out of curiosity, and it felt like A large-scale brainwashing."

"Didn't you say it yourself?" Yan Qi sneered, "Now you know why everyone in Shenjing City is happy?"

Gongsun Ce's eyes widened. Even though he was well-informed, he took a moment to react: "Holy shit... can this thing also regulate emotions?"

"The secret law determines the outcome secretly, and any chaos will be dealt with immediately~" Situ Yi said with a smile, "Strange power confuses the gods, external heresies, and people are panicked, so they are all wiped out secretly~"

Gongsun Ce couldn't help but shudder. The happy faces on the street seemed a bit eerie at this moment.He smacked his lips: "Isn't it a bit too much? It's like a dystopia in a novel..."

"It's not too much." Liu Zhongwu said, "Gongsun Ce, you should know that no matter how weak the human heart is, there is power. We have the most people in the empire, and even the world-creating envoy cannot bear the power of so many people's hearts. If it's not right What should I do if there is an accident?"

Gongsun Ce immediately thought of the Skeleton King Morton who had deteriorated due to the vicious intelligence, and of Servais who had come back to life because of the prayers of all living beings.He had to admit that this move made sense, but the name Liu Zhongwu mentioned also made him worried.

"You call it a secret law, right?" Gongsun Ce shook his head, "I just hope it won't have the opposite effect."

"Hey, the secret laws have been operating stably for 2000 years, what can go wrong!" Liu Zhongwu was very optimistic, "Don't worry, you are very powerful, a little psychological hint can't do anything to you. It's called emotional control. In fact, I just give some hints occasionally, who is so capable of manipulating people's emotions one by one, and not everyone is Situ Yi."

Situ Yi listened attentively and smiled without saying a word.

At this time, Qin Qianbai came back after buying the candy men and listened curiously to what they were talking about.Gongsun Ce pushed up his glasses and said matter-of-factly: "Your Uncle Liu was complaining just now, saying that all the men and women in the city were looking for partners at the Duan Duan Lantern Festival, but he was all alone, shopping with a bunch of buddies..."

Liu Zhongwu became angry: "What are you talking about! What are you talking about! Does your Gongsun Ce have a partner?"

"Yes, you will come to Shenjing to visit me when I finish my studies." Gongsun Ce said calmly.

Liu Zhongwu stared with disbelief on his face: "You...are you the only one who talks so much? Why do you have the right? Ah? What do you have the right to?!"

A group of people couldn't stop laughing when they heard this, Yan Qi laughed and cursed: "Fucking fat guy, all he can think about is women!"

Qin Qianbai laughed softly and said, "Uncle Liu, it's hard to please a girl if you don't exercise more."

"I'm born with this body type! Yan Qi is much lazier than me!"

Everyone walked away while talking and laughing, leaving the bustling commercial district behind and arriving at the square dedicated to people admiring the lanterns.The craftsmen in Shenjing City came up with all kinds of tricks to bring glory to this night. The exquisite lanterns were hung or glued on the wooden and metal bases, wrapped in cloth, and turned into ingenious lampstands.There are ancient heroes standing on the warships giving guidance to Fang Qiu, there are mythical heroes holding bows to shoot down demons in the sky, and all kinds of exotic flowers, herbs, magic weapons and swords are gathered together in one place. It is so dizzying that people don’t know where to start, so they look first. The highest place.

The large lanterns built by the government were erected on conspicuous heights, and the dazzling statues of heroes were hung with slogans such as "One man serves as a soldier and the whole family is glorious", "Moving towards world peace", "The Empire's is the best", and there were 97 slogans everywhere. The spirit of the times at the end of the year.

Yan Qi gave a disdainful "tsk", Qin Qianbai stopped, tilted his head and said, "Uncle Yan is not happy."
