Cataclysm King

Chapter 375 The City of Thieves

That mysterious black coffin is the source of the [Neon] train’s magical effect of nourishing the soul.

The unknown always makes people wonder about uncertain risks.

At present, the mysterious coffin is also an uncertain factor that Ji Xun feels must be treated with caution except for the passengers in room 007 on the train.

Qin Ru asked in reply: "Coffin?"

"Ah."

Ji Xun briefly explained what he had seen before and said, "In the carriage in front of the special-class carriage, there was a black coffin."

Qin Ru was paused for a moment, as if trying to think of something again. He raised his eyes to look at Ji Xun, shook his head and said, "I don't know either. The notes contained a lot of content, and I didn't have time to read it carefully. But what I saw before There is no record of 'coffin'.

"Oh."

Ji Xun listened and didn't ask any more questions.

"Yes."

Nan Suchhang's tone was very calm, and he seemed to be very open-minded about his imprisoned situation, but he couldn't explain much: "Anyway, I can't leave now."

Seeing this scene, Nan Shang thought of something and looked at the person in front of him.

Another mysterious and unknown realm appeared before his eyes, and Ji Xun was full of curiosity.

Ji Xun thought it was so before.

Nan Suchhang was also very emotional when she heard this. It seemed that she suddenly saw hope of solving some of the difficulties that had been bothering her.

Ji Xun heard that there was obviously something unspeakable in her words, so he didn't ask any further questions.

Nan Su Shang obviously thought of something more.

She said earnestly: "This Netherworld train has been going to the underworld for countless years to replenish the energy of the dead. This is also the most important way for the Bai family to contract with the special immortal family and the warm and nourishing immortal family. But eight hundred years ago, the last one of the Bai family After the seventh level passed away, this train has been traveling in this plane and has never been to the underworld again."

Ji Xun's original intention was to let Aunt Nan get out of trouble first and get off the [neon] train.

Like biometric authentication, the mysterious and primitive patterns on the door lock light up.

With that said, he also introduced Nan Su Shang to Qin Ru.

Although the two of them have never met, they have heard each other's names, so they are not completely strangers.

It turns out that those special immortals were found from the underworld?

Just hearing a "click", the door opened.

But because of Nanjing, he had seen the gate of the underworld with his own eyes.

In the room, Nan Suchhang, who was meditating cross-legged, looked at the door opening with a flash of surprise on his expression.

After Ji Xun and Qin Ru heard this secret, they realized what was going on with the train.

Ji Xun took the initiative to introduce: "Aunt Nan, this is my friend Qin Rushi, who is also the deputy leader of the revolutionary army."

However, after stating his intention, Nan Suchhang shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness. However, I can't leave now."

And there is no urgency in the current "imprisonment".

After a pause, Nan Sushang glanced at Qin Rushi again and said politely, "If possible, I would like to use your authority, Miss Qin, to go to the underworld and identify some things left by our ancestors."

Ji Xun was surprised when he heard this and cast a doubtful look: "???"

She was already surprised when Ji Xun came in using space means before.

The most important thing is Ji Xun, a mutually trusting intermediary, which makes the atmosphere of the meeting very harmonious.

"."

You must know that this private room is originally designed to restrict certain dangerous undead souls, and the restrictions are extremely high.

No one can open it except the head of the Bai family.

Hearing this, Ji Xun and Qin Rushi had different expressions.

You can read the notes slowly. He turned to ask: "Aunt Qin, can you open 001's door now?"

For others, the underworld is a place in myths and legends, but it is unknown whether it actually exists.

"It's complicated to say. I'm here not entirely because of the Royal Family of Oran."

Qin Rushi and Nan Sushang nodded politely to each other.

Unexpectedly, this time, the door was opened directly?

Qin Rushi looked at the box door, nodded and said, "Okay. When I got the note approval before, I got a lot of permissions on this train."

Nan Sushang knew what the two were curious about and said bluntly: "Of course, I know this information from the inheritance of the high priest. I have never been to the underworld."

People have determined that on this train, the door can be opened at any time, and it doesn't seem to matter whether they can get out now.

With that said, she walked over and raised her hand to hold the door handle of the box.

As the high priest of Oran, she obviously knows more things that others don't know.

Seeing that Ji Xun and the others were able to open the private room door, she asked, "I would like to ask, Miss Qin, have you obtained the control authority of [Neon]?",

Qin Ru nodded.

Ji Xun thought thoughtfully, the lineage of the high priest seemed to have a special connection with the underworld since ancient times.

Qin Rushi only found out after getting on the train that this [Neon] train was going to the underworld.

Even after reading her notes, she confirmed for the first time that the underworld really existed in reality.

Although he has obtained the authority, he can theoretically allow the train to return to the underworld.

But this proposal sounds a bit magical to a human being.

After all, the legendary underworld is not a place where living people can go.

Qin Ru thought about this, glanced at Ji Xun beside him, and responded without much hesitation: "Okay."

Nan Sushang responded politely: "Thank you."

Ji Xun didn't ask Aunt Nan about her purpose of going to the underworld.

Thinking that if she could say it, she would definitely say it.

He turned to ask: "By the way, Aunt Nan, do you know what happened to the coffin on the train?"

Others don't know, but this person may know.

After all, the Oran royal family also has a similar coffin.

Nan Sushang was not surprised that Ji Xun would be curious about this, and responded: "This is the legendary [Soul Gathering Coffin]."

After a pause, she continued: "I'm not sure exactly what this coffin is and where it comes from. But as far as I know, the coffin on the neon train has been there a long time ago. It is said that it The origins can be traced back to some outer gods in the chaotic era. The neon train goes to the underworld to accumulate death energy, and it relies on this coffin. You have also sensed the effect, which is to nourish the soul and assist in cultivating spiritual power."

"Things from the last era?"

Ji Xun and Qin Ru looked curious and thoughtful at the same time.

Even the former Oran High Priest used a lot of uncertain tones and words.

This inexplicably added a bit of mystery to the coffin.

"Ah."

At the same time, Nan Sushang also knew what Ji Xun wanted to ask.

She didn't mince words and said bluntly: "Olan Royal Court also has a similar black coffin. However, the function of that coffin is different. It is a relic that can preserve and nourish the 'flesh'. Of course, the grade of the coffin is too high, and its extraordinary No one knows what the utility is.”

"."

The first time Ji Xun heard about the coffin in Oran Palace, it was from Nan Jing's mouth.

When the previous generation of King Oran was critically ill, Queen Catherine brought such a coffin into the palace.

Now that I heard it, I vaguely understood that the coffin was really used to treat illnesses?

Nan Sushang continued: "Later, I specifically checked the relevant information, and also studied the incantations and prohibitions engraved on the black coffin in the royal court. I discovered the extraordinary properties of those incantations, pointing to 'flesh and blood' and 'taboos' And from the structure of the incantation, there must be more than two coffins, maybe three or even four."

"."

When Ji Xun heard this, he immediately thought of the previous Netherworld train in Xia Mucheng, and thought to himself: Could it be that there was a coffin like this on that train?

As for "resurrection" and "rebirth", he was not surprised at all after visiting the Mausoleum of King Augustus.

Those who stand at the top of the power pyramid seem to have a special obsession with resurrection.

These are top secrets that cannot be disclosed to outsiders, and it was only because of Ji Xun and Nan Sushang that he explained more.

The origin of this coffin was too mysterious. She was very curious about it, but she regretted: "But even the lineage of the high priest has been passed down many times. I'm sorry that I can't explain it to you. The only thing that can be confirmed is that these coffins It may be related to Emperor Lanlingst, because my ancestors of the Nan family have seen some obscure records about this coffin in the notes left by that emperor."

"."

Ji Xun listened to the catalog and thought deeply.

I asked a question, but got no answer.

Instead, it raises countless new questions.

But this also aroused his curiosity more and more.

Not long after, Ji Xun and Qin Rushi returned to room 002.

Now that the trouble on the train has been basically resolved, all the two of them have to do is wait until they get off the train.

Qin Ru used administrator rights to strengthen the restrictions on room 007, and then used bluffing and deception to obtain the recognition of the mirror spirit of the [Prophet's Mirror].

At this point, she became the only person in the [Neon] train's eight hundred years to have the highest control authority over the train.

This Netherworld train is like a safe that hides countless secret treasures. The mysterious door is finally opened, and countless treasures are revealed.

Qin Rushi also became busy.

She had just learned to "please the gods", and she had too many things to learn and master. There is also the diary of the head of the Bai family, which also requires a lot of time to read.

After all, it records not only the history of the Bai family, but also some secrets and forbidden methods of the Immortal family that only the head of the family can access.

Ji Xun was not idle either.

The effect of [Mingwu Immortal Dew] is three days.

Although there is no longer the oppression caused by the death crisis, the blessing of understanding is still the most ideal state for comprehending various forbidden spells of the devil.

The two of them stayed in the room.

In a blink of an eye, it lasted four days.

This day.

"Woo, woo, woo"

The train whistle sounded.

The scenery outside the car window gradually turned from nothingness to mirage-like shadows of buildings.

The train slowed down slowly and stopped at a platform with a huge steel shed.

Arrived.

The conductor knocked on the door of compartment 002.

Ji Xun, who was wearing a black suit and holding a cane, and Qin Rushi, who was wearing a burgundy hip-hugging skirt, walked out of the carriage.

After getting off the train, the [Neon] train started slowly. It didn't go very far before it disappeared again like a ghost.

Ji Xun looked at the disappearing train and said with emotion: "The effect of the coffin on nourishing the soul is really exaggerated. My spiritual practice in the past few days is equivalent to half a month outside. I don't know what the effect will be after returning from the underworld. exaggerate."

According to current intelligence, the coffin on the train is like a battery that has run out of power.

After it goes to the underworld to recharge, the effect will definitely be greatly enhanced.

Qin Rushi also nodded: "Yes. But only in that way can we cultivate a super-level immortal family."

The two walked on the platform, chatting as they walked.

"But having said that, Aunt Qin, are you really right? The resentful spirit in compartment 007 of the train recorded in your notes is called [The Resentment in Lanlingster's Witch Skirt]?"

"Yes. There is a clear record in the notes. The Bai family took in a powerful evil spirit about five thousand years ago. They accidentally discovered that it was a relic of the Great Emperor, so they stayed to study it. [Black Devil] is one of the gloves of this relic. . It is suspected that the skirt was abandoned and turned into an evil spirit, so it became such a terrifying form."

"."

Ji Xun's expression was quite complicated as he listened.

In fact, when he heard the elf's mantra before, "The most beautiful woman in the world is Lanlingster who transformed into a witch," he felt something was wrong.

But at that time, he also felt that this might be a joke from a friend of the great emperor, so he left this spell.

But now, a certain line of logic in the deduction has been confirmed by physical objects.

Then, the truth may be what he thinks.

Originally, Ji Xun didn't think anything of the sexual fetishes of those ancient figures.

But when he learned that the [Black Devil] was a women's suit, he suddenly felt that this overbearing relic was not so fragrant.

Seeing his gloomy expression, Qin Ru couldn't help but grin.

But she still did not forget to remind: "But you still have to be careful. These gloves will pollute the soul. If you put them on, you can't take them off. Don't use them if you can't use them."

"."

Ji Xun felt even worse when he heard this.

What a good thing, but suddenly it tastes bad.

Unfortunately, the history that can be traced back in the Bai family's head's notes is from the middle to late Talun period, which is several eras away from Emperor Lanlingst. The details of the origin of this relic are not recorded in detail.

But at the same time, Ji Xun was also confused.

That great emperor is the most powerful man who has reached the level of god. He certainly does not need the morbid pleasure brought by transvestism, right?
Instead, it may be a necessary process to achieve a specific purpose.

such as
ceremony?

"what"

At the moment when this thought occurred, Ji Xun took a deep breath.

He himself didn't know why he had such an idea.

But it seems that this is the only explanation that can rationalize the emperor's experience of transforming into a witch.

"ceremony?"

Ji Xun thought for a moment, then became unsure: "What kind of ritual requires transforming into a witch?"

After all, he is his senior in the same sequence. It is difficult for Ji Xun not to worry about whether [JOKER] will have some strange rituals that he must go through in the future.

However, the height of Emperor Lanlingst was beyond his imagination.

After thinking hard to no avail, Ji Xun shook his head and let out a very complicated sigh.

The two walked out of the platform.

Not far away, there is a towering city with bright lights.

This is the headquarters of the Bai family that has been in operation for more than a thousand years - the City of Thieves.

The Thief City is one of the largest cities in the western part of the Federation, with a huge city area and a permanent population of over 10 million.

Ji Xun and Qin Ru walked into the city, which was a prosperous scene.

Towering chimneys pierced into the dark cloud-like fog, and machinery factories all over the city roared.

This is a half-mechanical, half-traditional city.

The city's buildings include high-rise buildings from the post-federal era, as well as retro-style small western-style buildings with spires from the Oran period.

The streets are crowded with people, the railroad tracks criss-cross, and steam trains roar by from time to time.

In the sky, a dozen huge airships were propelled by huge propellers and floated leisurely.

The most eye-catching thing is the huge advertising banner hanging underneath the airship.

There is a huge moon painted on it, and there are straightforward advertising slogans: Joy, Dreams, Moon with a Thousand Faces.

Ji Xun and Qin Ru looked up at the overwhelming advertisements from the Silver Moon Sect and frowned.

With official encouragement, the Silver Moon Sect's beliefs spread like a plague.

Walking on the streets, you can see people talking about the war and the Silver Moon Sect everywhere.

"Oh, this Silver Moon Sect is really willing to spend money. I remember the advertising fee for the airship was over a million in one day, right? Tsk, tsk, yesterday there were only three advertisements, but today they are all replaced."

"Hey, you guys, I remember that the Federation didn't ban any Old Day sect from preaching? It was said to be evil pollution. Why are all the Silver Moon Sect's advertisements coming to the Thieves City now?"

"You don't know, right? The Silver Moon Sect is officially recommended by the government. Otherwise, they can advertise like this? It's officially recommended, so there will definitely be no problem. What's more, you don't know. I heard that in the church There are so many beauties, and as long as you are a Christian, you can enjoy endless pleasures. I have even heard people say that you can have sex with the noble ladies, chaebol ladies, and female officers who are usually aloof as long as you are pious enough to the gods. "

"Really? If that's the case, I'd really like to go take a look!"

"Is that so? Do you think that Lord Arachne, the "Lord of Dreams and Joy", has the ability to show off? "

"."

Ji Xun and Qin Ru were walking when a group of people happened to walk by.

Desire has always been the first driving force for human risk-taking behavior.

The information of the civilian class is very limited, and even their only source of information is the official.

Listening to everyone chatting about the Silver Moon Sect with great interest, there was no vigilance in their words, only curiosity.

The two looked at each other with solemn expressions.

Nowadays, the situation in Donghuang is getting more and more complicated.

In addition to war disasters and chaos, religious pollution is also a big problem.

But that's not what they came to Thieves City for this time.

Not far away in the center of the city, there is a manor that occupies an extremely large area.

When they were almost there, the two stopped.

Qin Rushi looked into the distance and said calmly: "They know I'm coming."

Even though they were in the enemy's base camp, the two of them had no strange expressions.

Ji Xun also raised his eyebrows and asked, "Aunt Qin, do you really want to go alone?"

"Ah."

Qin Ru nodded, glanced at Ji Xun, and knew what he was thinking, and said: "It's not a big problem. The Bai family is not just human beings, the Xian family also has a great say. Those people in the Bai family set up a In the arena, I followed the rules. They didn’t dare to break the rules.”

"Ah."

Ji Xun shrugged as he listened.

He wasn't worried.

But I want to watch the fun.

Now that Qin Ru is like this, no one in Donghuang can stop her.

It's okay for the Bai family to obey the rules, and it's fair to give them a beating.

Qin Rushi's contracted immortal family probably wouldn't sit idly by if he didn't follow the rules.
