Chapter 1239 God Burial Desert
The God Burial Desert is located between the Gobi Desert of the Vast Sea and the West Pole Desert. The further west you go, the more desolate it becomes. When you reach the Abyssal Sea, there is no way forward.
This is one of the places with the most violent aftermath of the ancient heavenly fall war. Unknown how many gods fell here from the Nine Heavenly Stars and were buried deep in the earth, destroying the past fertility and turning this place into a dead place. It was not until eternity later that it gradually Life has returned and a small number of oases have been formed.
The caves of the gods buried here were shattered and leaked to the outside, creating ruins one after another and secret places one after another, making the terrain where they were buried in the desert extremely complicated. And these gods often have unrestrained obsessions. , the special place of mixed death turned into or gave birth to quite terrifying ghosts of wronged souls, which were born and destroyed, and destroyed and reborn forever. Even if the sun shines brightly, you can still hear the shrill and gloomy ghost cries.
Because of this, the God Buried Desert is also quite dangerous for those who are strong in outdoor scenes. Without a certain level of strength, they can only pass along the roads connected by the oases.
In a certain oasis, there is abundant water and pleasant humidity. Buildings as tall as giant towers stand one after another, with obvious Mohist style. Together with a large number of local people and Shake travelers coming and going, they form an incomparable complex. The city in the hinterland of the Central Plains is far less prosperous.
Taking advantage of the holiday, Tian Wanzhe wandered around the busy city with a local specialty sweet grass root in his mouth, his eyes following the hotly dressed and gorgeous-looking girls from the Western Regions.
He was originally from Huanzhou, but the county he lived in was a land of poor mountains and rivers, and was exploited by aristocratic clans, so he could only make ends meet. Later, he got the popular free all-realm enlightenment talisman and learned the Xinghuo method, and his life gradually improved, and his vision also slowed down. He was slow to expand and did not want to live in a poor and remote country all his life, so he responded to the call of the Emperor of the People and followed the team composed of Mo Palace and the imperial court to the Western Regions to turn the desert into an oasis and create a prosperous place.
With the cooperation between Mo Palace, the Wanxiang Sect, and the Great Zhou Dynasty, they have found ways to effectively transform the desert in the past two years. The area of the oasis here has expanded rapidly. With the concerted efforts of everyone, it has almost reached the territory of the Central Plains.
"Hey, the Ten Thousand Worlds Universal Identifier is running a free event again?" Tian Wanzhe is now rich and has a certain status, but he still maintains the habits of his youth and likes to wander around the busy city. But before, he could only watch and couldn't afford anything. , while walking around, his eyes suddenly lit up and he saw the big red banner. He glanced at it and it seemed to be something related to the universal talisman.
He took a look, and as he concentrated his eyes, he could see the content clearly, and he read it in a low voice:
"The epoch-making new universal talisman can bind souls, and there is no risk of loss or theft. Now you can trade it in for a new one for free, what are you waiting for?"
"It's really good..." Tian Wanzhe thought for a while and planned to change one for himself and the old man. The losses caused by the loss of the universal recognition talisman in the past were still fresh in his mind.
Of course, with his current knowledge, he can also guess that this event will not go smoothly. As long as he has a certain strength and status, and a bright path to martial arts, who would be willing to bind his soul to the talisman of all realms? This is not the case. Is his life in the hands of Yuxu Palace?
Shaking his head, Tian Wanzhe returned home, intending to get the old man's Universal Awakening Talisman. As for the rest, it was none of his business and there was nothing he could do.
When he first came to the Western Regions, he was with his parents. Now his mother has passed away and his father is getting older. In addition, the hard work in the early years has caused physical exhaustion. He gradually stops going out and spends time at home, with servants waiting on him. This is the greatest pleasure. It is the universal recognition talisman.
After successfully replacing and binding the soul, Tian Wanzhe put it behind him and started busy and somewhat dangerous work, assisting Mo Palace and the Wanxiang Sect to expand the oasis deep into the complex God Burial Desert. .
A few months later, Tian Wanzhe's father finally ran out of money and could no longer support himself, so he passed away.
After the heavy funeral ceremony, the courtyard became deserted, servants stayed outside, and Tian Wanzhe was the only one left in the mourning hall.
He knelt in front of the soul, his eyes were red, and he held in his hand the talisman that his father often used to communicate with all realms. He pretended to be normal and humorous and said:
"Dad, life and death are determined by fate, and longevity is in heaven. Anyway, you have enjoyed prosperity and wealth for nearly ten years. Don't be sad anymore..."
When he mentioned the word "sad", his voice trembled slightly: "I remember when we first arrived in the Western Regions, we didn't even have a place to sleep. We had to build our own sheds and live in pits. I thought about my martial arts skills and being young and strong. I planned to keep vigil to prevent wild beasts from attacking me, but ended up falling asleep. When I woke up, I found that you and my mother were taking turns keeping watch to drive away mosquitoes for me..."
After babbled for a while, his sobs became thicker, so he took a forced breath: "Dad, don't worry, the money, paper and candles are enough. When you get to the underworld, you can continue to enjoy yourself. If you can meet your mother, tell the child in your dream. "
"Well, I know that you like to visit the World of Universal Knowledge, like to read serialized stories, and like to watch various live broadcasts, so I asked a Taoist priest with magic power to customize a paper version for you, and I will burn it later. You are better than nothing, you look good too..."
"I will put away your universal recognition talisman. When I have a child in the future, I will give it to him to use as a legacy. Hey, Dad, actually I feel a different kind of relaxed now. At least I won't be abused by your parents. The matchmaker forced me to get married. The world is very vast, and I haven’t seen enough yet..."
The following words may seem funny, but in fact there is a touch of sadness. Tian Wanzhe knows that death is like a lamp going out, and what he just said is just an expression of emotion, and has nothing to do with his father, but with himself.
After calming down, he placed the universal talisman left by the old man next to him, intending to take out the paper version from his pocket and burn it.
At this moment, the two white candles suddenly shook violently, and an eerie and icy wind suddenly blew in the mourning hall.
Tian Wanzhe couldn't laugh or cry and said: "It's such a coincidence, it almost scared me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Universal Awareness Talisman on the ground buzzed suddenly, emitting a faint crystal light.
"Who is looking for the old man? I wonder if he has passed away?" Tian Wanzhe bowed and picked up the universal talisman. Seeing that there was no corresponding name on it, he answered in confusion, "Hey, who is this friend?"
"Wanzhe, I'm your father!" A voice with a hint of erraticness came out.
"Dad?" Tian Wanzhe was angry and funny. Who would make such a joke about having a son without an asshole at this time?
Although the imitation of his voice did resemble that of his old man, the mourning hall in front of him was not a decoration.
We must find out who it is and teach him a profound lesson!
"I'm in the underworld. It's very scary all around. There are wailing and screaming sounds everywhere..." At this point, the other person paused and whispered, "Do you suspect that I am lying?"
There is no better son than a father.
Not a doubt, but a certainty! Tian Wanzhe answered silently.
Before he could speak, the other person continued: "You peed your pants when you were three years old, fell into the water when you were seven years old, and almost drowned. Fortunately, I discovered it early and rescued you in time. Because I was afraid that your mother would scold you, even her I don’t even know that you don’t want to get married because you have a girl you like, but she doesn’t like you..."
Tian Wanzhe felt chilled as he heard one incident after another. The pale candlelight in front of him flickered, making his face look pale green.
Is this really a call from Dad from the underworld?
Isn't it true that when a person dies, his lamp goes out, and only his obsession remains, turning into an evil ghost?
Are you talking to a dead person?
Tian Wanzhe, who had always been very timid, had sweat on his forehead, his waist and abdomen were tense, and his hair stood on end. He said in a trembling voice, "Dad, you, how can you contact me, no, the world of the earth?"
"I was in a daze before, until I was frightened awake by the terrible scenes around me, and then I felt that I had a subtle and hidden connection with the talisman of all realms, which could be connected. Could it be the soul binding you mentioned before?" the old man recalled.
"Fuck! The bound soul can be bound until death, bound to the underworld..." Tian Wanzhe blurted out, surprised.
This function is too powerful!
The old man swallowed his imaginary spit: "Wanzhe, dad, I'm not afraid of death. I'm already old anyway, but this underworld is too, too scary. Can you think of a way? Listen to this terrifying scream. It was the sound of a ghost being put into a frying pan and fried, and there was an iron tree next to it that could cut us off, and, and, I can't go on, I'm already dead, and I still have to endure this kind of torture, and I heard from ghosts around me that we will be thrown into reincarnation again, maybe we will become beasts, or we will become hungry ghosts who never have enough to eat..."
Tian Wanzhe replied in a stiff state: "Dad, don't worry, you just died, and it's probably not your turn for a while. Let me think of a way to see if I can ask a senior monk or Taoist priest to save you." No, there’s still mother.”
"Okay, okay, I just want to remind you, don't forget it. It will be my turn in three months." The old man paused and said, "The function of the universal identification talisman has been greatly affected in the underworld. There are restrictions, and there are ghosts all around. I'm afraid that if I use it frequently, I will be discovered. Remember to update me the series every day, and record the live broadcast for me. After I leave this hell in the future, I will watch it slowly..."
Tian Wanzhe's mouth was half open, his eyes were blank, and he was stunned for a while. This was the first time he heard that a dead person had such a request!
What kind of world is this!
"By the way, Wan Zhe, you're not young anymore. You can't just pursue love, you have to carry on the family line. Only after you die will someone update the series for you..." the old man added nonchalantly.
Tian Wanzhe's eyes became duller. This, this, even after death, he still remembers the forced marriage!
The call was interrupted, the cold wind subsided, the white candle swayed gently, the surroundings were silent, and everything suddenly seemed like a dream.
But the slight heat emitted by Tian Wanzhe's All Realm Awareness Talisman told him that what just happened was true!
