The end of the world starts with failing the exam

then.

A miracle happened.

Of course, this miracle does not mean that old madman Chen was persuaded by Erjia, but that Erjia, an expert known as the holy monk, was angry for the first time in his life... To put it bluntly, he didn't see it. Creatures that are so difficult to communicate with are simply worse than those polluted species with no IQ!

That day was the darkest moment in Erga's life.

He was angry for the first time.

It was also the first time in my life that I cursed.

"Even the merciful Buddha can't save you, you damn bastard!"

That dispute ended with Chen Bofu leading his men to run away.

Although he also caused heavy casualties to the elders of the monastery during the battle, it was undeniable that Erga was too strong and even made Chen Bofu feel unprecedented pressure.

To be fair.

The leader of the temple, Erga, is far more powerful than the Pope of Evernight City. It may also be because the gods of the temple have already come to the world, so Erga's power is more terrifying.

That kind of "supernatural power" that can be used like an arm and a finger only gives Chen Boxu a terrible headache.

As the saying goes, enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.

The reality seems to be the same.

When the elders of the temple present saw Chen Boxu's appearance, their first reaction was to take revenge and avenge their past humiliation, but Erjia glanced at him lightly, and the elders immediately calmed down.

Revenge is important.

But some things are much more important than revenge.

For example, the life and death of the temple.

For example, Buddha Mother's...

"Lord Erga!"

The moment Qiao Youning sensed something was wrong in the atmosphere, she hurriedly stepped forward to greet Ojia and the elders. At the same time, she winked at Chen Jing, signaling the old man to calm down a little. After all, they still had to talk about cooperation.

Of course Chen Jing is not a fool.

He gave the old man a gentle tug, with a warm and friendly smile on his face, as if he didn't hear the swear words the old man had cursed before, and just went to greet the old monk Erga.

"Lord Ega, I've heard You Ning talk about you a long time ago. It's true that being famous is not as good as meeting you..."

"I should say this."

Erjia seemed to have a good opinion of Chen Jing. Seeing that the young man spoke politely, he was immediately surprised. After all, he knew that this little guy had the blood of Crazy Chen in his body... This kid shouldn't be his grandson, right? !

"The deep space resuscitator is well-deserved..."

Erga looked at Chen Jing and couldn't help but sigh. In his bright and clear eyes, Chen Jing was not an entity... Yes, Erga could tell the difference between reality and falsehood at a glance. In his eyes, Chen Jing was a horrible aggregate.

It's like countless long black threads as thick as hair, entangled with each other and constantly connected until they aggregate into a human form.

Erga could tell.

Those weird "threads" are the legendary deep space energy.

The vortex in Chen Jing's chest that is constantly rotating like a black hole is the "point" connecting the deep space to his body.

In Erga's eyes, Chen Jing is not so much an ordinary person as he is a figure drawn with a sketch pencil. Even his beautiful eyes have turned into a golden halo in the shadow, as if they can burn away. The karmic fire of all things burns silently.

The Resurrectionist is both deep space and deep space.

This is a record that appears more than once in ancient temple books.

Also at this moment.

Only then did Erga understand the true meaning of this sentence.

Because the longer he stared at Chen Jing, the more clearly he could sense where the deep space was... as if the deep space was also watching him.

Erga was originally an extraordinary person, and he could deal with life and death calmly.

He thought he had long since lost the emotions of ordinary people, but at the moment when he was watched by the deep space, he felt a feeling similar to fear.

This feeling made Erga very uncomfortable, so he glanced at Chen Jing, and then quickly turned away and looked at the old madman with an impatient face.

"Brother Chen, I haven't seen you for many years, you..."

"Stop it! Don't treat me with blind courtesy!" Chen Bofu frowned and looked around with a very dissatisfied expression, "We came all the way here, you shouldn't use those temple meals to entertain me, right?"

"Of course not, we don't all just eat fast food." Erjia said with a smile, then waved his long sleeves and led everyone to the door of the "Buddha Mother Hall", "There are many people here, so we'd better go in Speak."

Chen Jing and the old man walked side by side behind Erga, and the other elders followed suit.

In this process.

Chen Jing couldn't help but look at Jizhudu outside the temple, only to find that the ancient city protected by the Buddha Mother was much larger than he had imagined.

The temple built on the mountain should be at the highest point in the city. From top to bottom, there is almost nothing that can block the view... Compared with the modern style of Yongye City, this place is more similar to the blooming flowers in ancient costume films. city.

The antique buildings in the city seem to be arranged according to a certain pattern. The rows of buildings are intermittently connected and divide the streets. From a height, it seems that the entire city is divided into countless strange geometric figures in an orderly manner.

The city wall that stands hundreds of feet high standing on the edge of Jiju City is even more majestic.

The city wall under the sun seems to be covered by a layer of colorful halo symbolizing auspiciousness and peace. The metal-like matte wall is covered with pictures of the temple's Buddha mother and nameless mantras.

The face of the Buddha Mother in the picture is compassionate and compassionate to all living beings, and the patterns in the mantra are quietly flowing with the colorful Buddha light...

From where Chen Jing was standing, he could see that the streets of Jiju City were crowded with black dots the size of ants, which were all people living in Jizhou City.

Although Chen Jing was in the temple and couldn't hear the noisy and chaotic sounds in the city, he was still shocked by the sight of people flowing like weaving carts, which seemed like a scene from a prosperous age.

"What a Buddhist country in troubled times..."

Chen Jing looked at the bustling scene in the city and couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Thinking of the people in the desolate Western Continent, I just feel that they are all trying to survive in the apocalypse. How can they be so full of vitality in Jishi...

"Be careful."

"I heard the voice of the Buddha Mother."

Chapter 524: Paradise in Troubled Times (Part 2)

Every city in the world has its own characteristics.

Just like eternal night.

It is characterized by a cold and murderous temperament, and the seemingly chaotic city follows a certain order, barely running in an orderly and stable manner.

And the hanging city...

Chen Jing had never been to that place personally, but judging from Li Mobai's and the others' descriptions, the city was like a giant machine that used humans as fuel.

All humans living there are part of this giant machine, some are screws and some are gears. Whether they are willing or not, they must push the city forward.

Only Jishidu.

Chen Jing felt that this was the place where a living person should stay.

At least judging from the descriptions of Qiao Youning and the old man, the order here is more stable and easier for ordinary people to survive, and the restrictions on those ancient descendants with power are stricter.

Therefore, many people think that Jiridu is a peaceful place in troubled times.

Although this place has a lot of preferential treatment for the monks in the temple, at least they are not as high as the alchemists in Hanging City.

Chen Jing followed Erjia into the Buddha Mother Hall. As soon as he entered, he was dazzled by the extraordinary "first hall of the temple".

It's literally resplendent.

It is as if the entire building is made of gold. Even the floor under your feet is covered with countless gems of different colors. The statue of the Buddha sitting in the hall is made of some kind of precious extraterrestrial mineral. It seems that it is made of gold. The metal is cool and crystal clear like glass, which is a kind of indescribable sacred solemnity.

Wait until the last person steps into the Buddha Mother Hall.

The heavy door closed quietly.

Chen Jing and Chen Bofu sat on the left side of the Buddha statue, while everyone in the temple sat on the right side of the Buddha statue.

Erga is not a slow-tempered and soft-tempered monk. His character is actually completely different from what he gives people. To a certain extent, he is even more resolute than Chen Bofu.

No politeness, no small talk.

As soon as he sat down, he chatted with Chen Jing about business.

"Many people want you to die now." Erjia looked helplessly at Chen Jing, who was sitting across from him. He had a headache when talking about the external situation. "If they know that the temple has private contact with you, I'm afraid we will also have a big problem." trouble."

"You are not someone who is afraid of trouble." Chen Bofu didn't care whether smoking was prohibited in the temple or not. He lit up a cigarette as soon as he sat down. He squinted at the statue of the Buddha Mother and the more he looked at it, the more he disliked it. "Ejia, cooperate with my grandson, and your temple will also gain a lot of benefits..."

"For example?" Erga asked curiously.

"For example..." Chen Boxu touched the stubble on his chin and smacked his lips for a long time before he managed to say, "Deep Space will not treat you as enemies."

Upon hearing this, the elders present could not sit still. Even the elder with the best temper... the one who had dealt with Chen Jing last time, was so angry that he blew his beard when he heard the old man say this. Staring, I wonder if this lunatic really doesn’t take our temple seriously?

"Well, this is indeed a benefit."

Erga was not angry because he knew the weight of Chen Boxu's words.

If you are not the enemy of deep space, you are the friend of deep space.

This seemingly illusory benefit.

Even the kings of the old days did not dare to look down upon him.

"Lord Ega." An elder on the side suddenly spoke and mentioned in a soft voice, "Now those alchemists have formed an alliance with the Hermitage. If we rashly agree to cooperate with Deep Space, I am afraid that we will cause a big disaster and the city of Jiju will be in trouble." Hundreds of millions of people may also be affected by the war..."

"Damn it, if you don't want to cooperate, you should have told me earlier. I'm not begging you. If it weren't for Xiao Youning's sake..." Chen Bofu stood up and cursed impatiently, "So I thought you guys The people in the temple are all considered figures, at least better than the gang of iron-headed alchemists in Hanging City, and better than the group of idiots in Yongye, but now it seems that you are not as good as..."

Chen Jing gently pulled the old man, signaling him not to say such a final word.

Since everyone expressed a tendency to form an alliance and cooperate before coming here, what the elder mentioned now... was nothing more than trying to increase the leverage on Chen Jing's side.

"Lord Erjia, how about we be more direct and discuss the conditions for cooperation?" Chen Jing said it straight to the point, making Erjia feel a little embarrassed for a moment, "But I hope the conditions proposed by your temple are not too outrageous. , because to be honest, I don’t need the help of the temple, and those group of alchemists and monks pose no threat to me.”

After saying that, Chen Jing glanced at the elders behind Erjia again.

"I came to Guisi to cooperate mainly because of Youning's face. This is a second home for Youning, so I don't want to see Guisi standing on the opposite side of me one day..."

"Your opposite?" an armless elder sneered, "Are you threatening our temple?"

"I'm just stating the facts."

Chen Jing looked at the elder calmly, with a polite and friendly smile still on his face, but there was a golden light flashing in his eyes, like some ancient totem slowly rotating in his eyes.

"I don't need your temple to do anything for me. I just hope you won't stand against me. That's all."

"Can you deal with Turing in the Hanging City and Gehro in Eternal Night on your own?" the elder on the side said.

"Of course not now." Chen Jing smiled. He seemed to be talking nonsense, but the tone of stating the facts made everyone believe it. "But it won't be long before Turing and Gehro will know how to do it." He is my opponent, the so-called ancient gods are simply vulnerable to deep space."

"Insanity!"

"As expected, he is the grandson of that lunatic! What a fucking lunatic, this kid..."

"I think you are itchy?" Chen Boxu couldn't bear to hear someone contradicting his grandson, so he rolled up his sleeves slowly, "How about I teach you another lesson in the temple? Have you forgotten? Why did I slap your big mouth in the first place?"

Seeing that the atmosphere in the palace gradually became tense, Qiao Youning, who was sitting next to Ejia, suddenly became anxious.

While she was persuading the elders around her, she was giving Chen Jing a wink to persuade the old man... But at this time, she found that Chen Jing was a little distracted, as if he didn't see her eyes and was always looking at the person beside him. The statue of the Buddha is sitting in a daze.

at this time.

Chen Jing was indeed in a trance.

Because he is talking to "himself" in his head.

"You said you heard the voice of the Buddha Mother?"

"Ah."

"Is the Buddha Mother talking?"

"It's not...it seems like he's laughing."

"?"

"Anyway, I feel that it is very excited because of your arrival, and it is a little weird..."

"I don't know it. Why is it so excited?"
