Chapter 657 (1/2)
(659 the old capital was closed to the ancient palace, and the old minister made a deep plan)
after an hour, the city of falling earth, known as the ”demon capital”, was still quiet. A war hundreds of miles away, even if it's turned upside down, won't affect it.
It is said that the name of the city of fallen earth is because it is the place where the tree people degenerate. It is said that many hundred thousand years ago, the whole clan of Shuren fell here together with a huge polyp from the heaven. Therefore, the tree man is not a creature of the human world, but the Shura of the heaven.
Xirang once spread infinitely, and the tree clan almost ruled the whole demon world with the expansion of xibian.
Ten thousand years ago, most of the polyps were sealed in the sealing array by the great powers of the demon world, and finally destroyed in the catastrophe of the crane clan a few years ago. Now only a small part of it remains and is permanently imprisoned in the underground of the city of fallen earth.
The name of the city of fallen earth is Didou, which is not actually built on the land. Its ground is covered with blood like growth of huge roots, thick and thin. The diameter of the thick is 100 Zhang, and the thin one is not as good as a human finger.
Numerous ”trunks” grow from the roots. Most of these ancient trunks are hundreds of feet thick and thousands of feet high. There are innumerable holes on the tree trunk, dense as honeycomb.
Residents built huge winding steps up the trunk. Numerous long and straight cable bridges were built between the adjacent tree trunks. People all live in the innumerable holes in those trunks and spreading branches.
There are more than eight kinds of people from all over the country. The prosperity of the ”demon capital” for hundreds of thousands of years is not a lie. Even now, when Muye has already declined, there are millions of people of all ethnic groups in the demon capital.
These giant trees that form the foundation of the city are a whole, known as ”fairy trees.”. But it's not a fairy. Its life and spirituality are quite scattered.
It's not so much an old and powerful tree as a group of scattered giant trees connected for survival. It has countless wisps of spiritual consciousness flowing in the vein, but it does not produce a common divine consciousness. So it's impossible to become an immortal.
In Dongsheng Shenzhou, there is another place similar to here, that is Cuiyu palace. Cuiyu palace was formed after Qin zunyang got the seeds of Xianshu here and planted it on Cuiyu peak. It is equivalent to a miniature version of the fallen Earth City. No one knows how he got it.
But Cuiyu palace is only a few hundred years old, far less than the deep foundation of Daotu city.
In the city of fallen earth, there is a hollow pit which has existed for at least 400, 000 years, from the caves on the oldest roots to a hundred feet deep underground. This place is called the hall of demon emperor.
The hall of demon emperor was originally called the hall of tree emperor. The tree clan was called the demon Kingdom Royal family before it was called the demon emperor hall.
Unlike the palaces of the Houtu Dynasty, which were usually used to deal with government affairs, the hall of the demon emperor was not open at all. Only when the new demon emperor ascended the throne, it would be opened once. It will be closed again after the accession.
The desire of the king of the night is to lead the kings into this hall of demon emperor to become emperor. Because it has been a tradition of the demon world to ascend the throne here. If he did not ascend the throne here, he would not be able to gain enough admiration from the people and consolidate the throne.
But once the throne is consolidated, he will not be nostalgic. Directly burn down the demon emperor hall, and then build a new palace on the territory occupied by ghost owls.
When the demon emperor is not in, the secret key to the entrance and exit of the demon emperor hall is in the hands of the elder and Rong QIANZI. This is the forbidden area of the tree clan. No one is allowed to go in and out at all. But what people don't know is that at this time, there are no empty people in the hall of the demon emperor.
The gate of the demon emperor hall is a heavy wooden door. Between the main gate and the second gate is a quiet room full of woody incense. This quiet room is a natural tree hole with no windows. Besides an oil lamp, a futon and two gates, there is nothing else. A haggard old man sat on the futon.
Although others are here, the divine consciousness is connected with a spiritual vein of the immortal tree, constantly watching the information coming from the demon emperor's palace and the battlefield outside mian'e mountain. He is no one else. He is the elder banyan QIANZI who is in charge of Muye department.
After a while, the second door was pushed open slowly. The bright green light leaked from the crack of the door, illuminating half of the long and narrow horse face. Lu Yu walked out of the door and closed the second door carefully. The dim scene was restored to the gatehouse.
