Cataclysm King.

Chapter 522 Nan ​​Su Shang’s Farewell

The ancient steam train roaring from the underworld is the [neon] train that the Bai family has guarded for generations.

Last time Ji Xun and Qin Rushi went to the Bai Family Headquarters in Extreme Thieves City, they discovered Nan Su Shang imprisoned on the train.

After that, Ji Xun and the two got out of the car, but the high priest of Oran who had been deprived of his identity borrowed Qin Rushi's authority and went to the underworld.

Ji Xun also didn't expect that a chance encounter would turn out to be a life-saving straw.

The neon train in front of me was like a small boat in the sea. It determined its position because of the signal sent by Jia Yu, and then drove over.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The long whistle sounded so sweet at the moment.

The train seemed to have arrived at the station and stopped slowly.

Both Ji Xun and Qin Ru were on this kind of ghost train, and their expressions were calm as usual.

But several revolutionary army cadres in Bonnie looked at the steam car appearing in the underworld passage in front of them, and they were all stunned: Is there really a train in this **** place?

This is no train.

Ji Xun can now roughly guess that this steam train is actually the appearance of the mysterious black iron coffin in the carriage.

It should be what people think of it.

Just like human beings' understanding of the world, it is never the world as it is, but a world constructed by self-perception.

The train stopped, the door opened, and a ghost conductor dressed in black smoke stood beside the door, as if waiting for passengers to get on the train.

This conductor is like the God of Death who invites people's souls to go to the underworld. Just standing there, there is a sense of terror that makes people's souls tremble.

Bonnie and the others looked at each other, but Qin Rushi took the lead and walked over.

She took out the 002 ticket, which was reserved for the head of the Bai family, and successfully checked the ticket.

Then he spoke a few words to the conductor in detail, and then turned back to indicate to everyone that they could get on the train.

Jia Yu narrowed his eyes and walked over happily. As he walked, he said, "Thank you so much, Miss Qin. I haven't ridden the legendary [Neon] train yet."

Legend has it that this train can nourish the soul, but because it is exclusive to the Bai family, outsiders have no chance to try it.

Seeing that the fooling conductor did not stop the mushroom head, Bonnie and others followed.

Ji Xun was carrying the black iron coffin and preparing to get on the train. He was originally worried that the coffin was too big to get on the train, but when he carried it over, he discovered that the space on the train had just transformed into the width of the coffin that could fit on the train.

As he stepped on the carriage step, Ji Xun did not forget to say to the conductor in Gutalin language: "Thank you."

The conductor bowed slightly in response.

"Is this the legendary ghost train? Tsk, tsk, this trip to the Southern Continent is really informative."

"Oh, you see, this train can really nourish your mental energy~"

"It's true."

"."

As soon as Bonnie and several cadres got on the train, they felt the magical effect of this [neon] train on nourishing the soul, and they all whispered excitedly.

Ji Xun and Qin Ru were used to it.

Probably after a trip to the underworld, this nourishing effect is much stronger than last time.

The last time they boarded the train, the carriage was packed with fairy families.

But this time it was an empty carriage.

There was only a mysterious man in a cloak in the carriage.

Ji Xun, Qin Rushi and Jia Yu all knew who this person was.

Jia Yu was the first to speak and said with a chuckle: "Thank you, senior, for taking over."

Ji Xun felt the familiar aura and greeted him as if meeting an elder: "Aunt Nan."

Qin Rushi had also seen it and nodded.

The revolutionary army cadres also had expressions of gratitude on their faces.

Although they have never met Nan Sushang, they have all heard of this former high priest of Oran.

No matter the strength or the life-saving grace in front of you, they are worthy of respect.

At this time, the cloaked man sitting on the seat said: "Well. Long time no see."

The tone was as gentle as ever, but Ji Xun didn't know why, but he heard a weak and old tone.

Nan Su Shang looked at everyone's reserved look and said with a smile: "Everyone, sit down, don't be so polite."

She didn't stand up while speaking. She seemed to feel that she was a little rude, and then explained: "Sorry, I'm not feeling well, please don't mind."

The relationship between Ji Xun and Nan Jing is extraordinary, and of course he doesn't like this "Aunt Nan" either.

Hearing this, he put down the coffin, walked over directly, and asked, "Aunt Nan, are you injured?"

"It's not that I was hurt."

Nan Shang shook his head and wanted to explain, but he hesitated for a moment and seemed to feel troubled.

Thinking about it, she took off the cloak covering her head, and an old face immediately came into view.

The head is covered with white hair, and there is almost no flesh and blood under the skin. It is dry and clings to the bones, and is covered with wrinkles like tree bark. The eyes were sunken deeply into their sockets, and their vision was cloudy and dim. Although he still has the wisdom and elegance to see through everything in the world, he has lost his former glory.

She also exudes an aura like a cemetery, decayed and weak.

"Aunt Nan, you."

Ji Xun looked at the old face in front of him. Although he recognized that this was Nan Su Shang, he was extremely surprised.

How could the charming and beautiful woman I was familiar with become like this?

Qin Rushi and Jia Yu looked at it and frowned slightly.

I can't imagine what happened to make this senior become like this.

After all, in Donghuang, when it came to combat prowess, it was probably Gong Wu; but when it came to magic and skills, even Jia Yu admitted that no one could match him.

Nan Sushang himself looked very indifferent and explained: "The underworld is different from the card master plane, and the flow of time is also different. I went to a dangerous place again, and was polluted by the air of the underworld. That's it." ”

As she said this, she looked at the worried eyes of Ji Xun and others, and said with relief: "It's not a big deal. This is the fate of the high priest's lineage. I accomplished what I wanted to do, and the price was completely worth it. Everyone, don’t stand around. It’s still a long way back. Everyone, sit down. Come, sit next to me.”

There were no ordinary people in the carriage, and they all understood this sentence.

In Nan Shang's words, there was no trace of regret for himself, only a belief that had never wavered.

"."

After hearing this, Ji Xun walked over and sat next to Nan Sushang.

He knew that this elder had something to explain.

Qin Rushi and Jia Yu sat opposite each other.

Others sat in other seats.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuu"

At this time, the train whistle sounded again and the train started slowly.

There was a rapidly flowing fog outside the car window, making it impossible to see where exactly was outside.

Ji Xun asked: "Aunt Nan, what happened?"

He knew that Nan Jing had been to the underworld, and it didn't seem to have any negative impact.

Why did this Aunt Nan lose most of her life after just one trip?

"No matter what, that dusty history still needs to be known."

Nansu Shang sighed slightly after hearing this, and then said: "Originally, it's not worth saying more, but since you want to know, I will tell you. However, it will be too long to say."

With this opening, the atmosphere was like that of an old man telling stories by the fireplace to the children who were standing by her side.

Nan Sushang slowly narrated: "Back then, the Talon Empire was about to collapse due to the plundering of the 'Seven Natural Disaster Monarchs'. The royal family prepared various means to save the overall situation. Among them, they wanted to use faith to restrain faith pollution. As the high priest, my ancestor of the Nan family, It was the ancestor who managed almost the entire plan. At that time, Queen Montini's [Club Queen-Moonlight Queen] sequence artificially created a leak of divinity. It was the **** pointed by the Silver Moon Sect in the Eastern Wasteland, "Arachne, the Lord of Dreams and Joy." This opening begins with various secrets from the last few decades of Talun's collapse three thousand years ago.

Jia Yu seemed to have known this history for a long time. His eyes were distant and deep, and there was nothing strange about them.

Ji Xun and Qin Rushi also roughly knew some fragmentary information.

But this time, hearing about that period of history that had been dust-laden from the mouth of a descendant of the High Priest line was indescribable.

"The use of faith to restrain the pollution of the alien gods did have a miraculous effect at first. The three alien gods, 'Elemental King Raglos', 'Scarlet Corruption Seiadis', and 'Source of Disease-Takpara', were successively destroyed. The empire has been sealed one after another After a long period of hard work and continuous military disasters, the ‘Lord of Military Disasters, Monliod’ has been unable to contain it. The trend of collapse is inevitable, especially since His Majesty Crosa was backlashed by the [tyrant] Source Card, and he insisted on going his own way in governing, making many mistakes.”

“Then the ‘Firefire Plan’ came into being.”

"There is one of these fires in the East Wasteland, and it is also the most important one. At the beginning of Innocence City, the migrating empire residents were temporarily given a chance to breathe because of the isolation of the abyss and fissures. But as time went by, problems gradually emerged. . Without foreign enemies, there are no restrictions on the belief in the Moon God. My ancestors of the Nan family realized that the belief in the [Moon Queen] is completely out of control. If we really want to stay, not only the royal family, but also the Card Master civilization will cease to exist in the future."

"Later, my Nan family ancestors worked with the Illuminati to completely solve the disorderly expansion of the Silver Moon Sect."

"But in that battle, both sides suffered losses. The elite of my Nan family and the Illuminati were all destroyed, and my family ancestors were also seriously injured. Moreover, the hidden danger of faith pollution cannot be eliminated at all."

"In order to completely eliminate the influence of the moon **** Arachne, all books were burned, and history was artificially dated. Even in the royal family, information about that period of history has been sealed for thousands of years until now."

"Although the Moon God was sealed, the [Club Blossom Q] source card's out-of-control divine nature was not solved. Our first master of the Nan family knew that the Silver Moon believers would definitely come back in the future, so she laid out a thousand-year plan."

"The source of everything is still in the source card of [Club Queen]. It was the carrier used by the great **** who created the card master civilization to seal the power of the devil. It is also the only one that can completely bind the moon **** Arachne. means"

"."

When Ji Xun heard these words, he connected all the fragmented information in his mind.

When the moon **** Arachne broke away from the shackles of the source card, it was impossible for her to be sealed back and become a human demon mark.

At that time, the moon **** held a high position and held the fate of the Talon Dynasty and all the power of faith, so there was no condition to conquer him.

Then the last high priest Nan Shenyu thought of leaving this method to future generations.

After three thousand years of sealing, the power of the moon **** Arachne has been exhausted to the extreme.

Now is the best opportunity to seal it.

Ji Xun, Qin Rushi and Jia Yu all fell into silence.

Bonnie and the others in the back seats were so shocked that they didn't know what to say.

Only then did they realize that this was how the powerful Talon Empire collapsed;

Only then did I know that this is how the Kashi Civilization and the Oran Dynasty in the Eastern Wasteland came about;

Nan Suchhang finished talking about that period of history in one breath, as if it had consumed most of her energy, and the fatigue on her brows became increasingly difficult to conceal.

As she said that, she took out a scroll and a sealed secret box, and said to Ji Xun and the others: "This secret box was left by my ancestors of the Nan family. I can no longer leave the underworld, so I leave it to you. ”

"."

Ji Xun looked at the box in front of him with a solemn expression.

It is indeed safest to hide things in the underworld. No one can find them except people from the Nan family.

No need to guess, he also knew that the secret box contained the source card of [Club Queen].

Just like those pottery pots with spells that can seal the outer gods, this source card is also the biggest restraint of the moon **** Arachne.

Seeing this thing, Ji Xun also saw Donghuang, which had been controlled by the Silver Moon Sect, and finally had hope of breaking the situation.

Nan Sushang didn't say any more, but used his mental power to convey the instructions for using the items in the secret box.

Ji Xun frowned after hearing this.

The method is a method, but it is not easy.

But before he could think about it, Nan Sushang lowered the scroll again and said, "You should have heard Xiao Nan say that the inheritance of my Nan family is very special. I ask you to hand over this scroll to that girl Xiao Nan."

"."

Ji Xun had heard from Nan Jing before that the inheritance of the high priest's lineage was bloodline initiation.

In other words, after the death of the previous generation of high priest, the next generation will inherit her extraordinary cultivation and those inheritances.

What is sealed in this scroll is Nan Su Shang's cultivation.

Taking out this thing means that the Aunt Nan in front of her has reached the end of her life.

Ji Xun remained silent and didn't speak.

Jia Yu and Qin Ru stood in awe.

If Senior Nan hadn't gone to the underworld to find the box, he wouldn't be in this situation.

It's not like she said, it's fate.

Instead, she used her life to protect the sacred mission of the high priest lineage, and also protected the Card Master civilization.

Nan Suchhang looked at the serious expressions of the three people and smiled slightly.

Her mood seemed to be more open-minded than theirs, and she didn't care that she was about to reach the end of her life. Thinking about it, she looked at Ji Xun, her eyes flashing with relief, and added: "And if you can, please take care of Xiaonan for me. That girl is too kind and simple, and many things always make people worry. I I’m afraid she’ll be sad.”

She is not only a high priest, but also a mother.

After explaining the business, he talked about his beloved daughter.

After hearing this, Ji Xun only responded lightly: "Yes."

Seeing him agree, a reassuring smile appeared in the corners of Nan Su Shang's eyes.

The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly fell into silence, and no one spoke anymore.

Ji Xun and the others did not feel lucky to be able to escape from the passage to the underworld.

The train was still speeding, and there was still an invisible fog outside the window.

After a long time.

Nan Sushang saw the coffin in the carriage and said: "By the way, you put the coffin at the head of the train here. It needs to absorb some soul power from the underworld. And now that the death dragon Marodis has returned, I’m afraid I’ll also look for this coffin. When you can see the contents on the stone tablet in the Forbidden Ruins, you will naturally know what its purpose is.”

Ji Xun nodded seriously: "Yes."

Nan Shang added: "You have come to the underworld passage, you should know the secret of the "Lightless Sun", right? The magic of this sequence is very special. It is the most intuitive secret method among the fifty-two sequences that allows people to perceive the mystery of god-level power. Opposite nature, this is the supreme mystery of the extraordinary. All the laws of elements will eventually converge on 'opposition of nature'. It is because this secret technique directly points to the extraordinary mystery that in the later period of the Talon Empire, it was always regarded by the royal family as a forbidden technique that was not spread to the outside world."

Only then did Ji Xun understand that the original reason for the royal family's blockade was because they were afraid of affecting the rule of the government.

Putting away the inexplicable confusion in his heart, he thought of something and asked: "Aunt Nan, I saw before that the divine power of the death dragon Marodis is almost the same as that of the Weeping Angel. Is that the 'opposite nature'?"

"Yes."

Nan Sushang nodded, "If possible, you need to focus on the practice and understanding of the "Lightless Sun" now. But the underworld is too dangerous for living beings to stay there. If you really want to go in the future, you can go with Xiaonan to the coordinates left by the ancestors, and don’t run around."

She really seemed to be looking at her junior and said without reservation: "Oh, by the way, the [Emperor's Stone] in the Imperial Tomb of Augustus on the Rune Highlands also recorded related mysteries. Do you think When you reach the eighth level, you have to gather your little runes. You can go to the imperial mausoleum to have a look."

Ji Xun: "Yeah."

Nan Su Shang: "There is also the Angel of Protection. The ancestors did leave him with hope of resurrection. But it will not be easy. I don't know the details. Only when Xiao Nan can fully understand the secret method in the [Book of the Dead] Maybe. You can tell him something at that time to prevent him from misunderstanding my Nan family. Before that, the divine power of the angel body is a shortcut to help you practice this secret method."

"."

Ji Xun listened attentively.

Unknowingly, the train arrived at the station again and stopped slowly.

Nan Suchhang looked at everyone and said calmly: "The train has arrived. I won't see you off."

Looking at the gray-haired old man in front of him, Ji Xun knew that this might be the last time to say goodbye. His heart felt a little heavy for no reason, but out of the thousands of words in his heart, he only said one sentence: "Goodbye, Aunt Nan."

Qin Rushi, Jia Yu, and Bonnie also stood up and said goodbye.

Nan Su Shang looked at everyone and nodded, his turbid eyes suddenly flashed, as if he was seeing the future of the card master's civilization.

She handed this baton to these young people.
