Chapter 29: The Story of Firewood City
As the bald man was beaten violently by Su Qin, the noise was so loud that all the other ghosts left the tavern, leaving only Liu Ying and Bai Lei in the audience.
The bald man fell unconscious on the ground. He had been beaten unconscious by Su Qin. His whole face was beaten like a pig's head, and he could not speak.
Looking at the empty tavern, Su Qin also gradually calmed down. The tavern was almost destroyed by him, and there were potholes everywhere. He sighed, feeling that he was still too impulsive.
He took two deep breaths, grabbed the bald man, poured a glass of water on his head, and said: "From today on, you will work as a security guard in my pub. If someone makes trouble, you are responsible for taking care of it. If something happens, I will take care of you."
I won’t deal with you.”
Su Qin didn't care whether the bald man could hear what he said, so he threw the bald man to the ground again, turned around and left.
"Recently, you should take advantage of this time to decorate the tavern, and at the same time open up the shops next to it to see how to decorate it appropriately. I'll leave it to you."
"Okay, Boss Su."
After explaining everything, Su Qin returned to the room.
There were a lot of thoughts in his mind. He had just impulsively beaten the bald man because he had nowhere to vent the pressure of the past two days. After calming down, Su Qin felt more and more powerless. At this time, he could indeed protect the tavern from harm, but
In fact, there are more terrifying ghosts waiting for him, but he can't do anything about it.
Su Qin thought hard about what to do and had no idea.
"Xiao Su, come find me in the Leaning Tower tonight." Mr. Liu suddenly said.
Su Qin was stunned for a moment. Mr. Liu had not asked him to enter the Leaning Tower for a long time. Even when he was teaching himself, he always communicated directly in his mind. With doubts, Su Qin said yes.
…
I climbed up to the second floor of the Leaning Tower with ease and saw Mr. Liu standing in the center. It seemed that he had been waiting for Su Qin for a long time.
"Mr. Liu, why did you call me here today?"
"Sit down first, don't be in a hurry."
Su Qin patiently sat next to Mr. Liu and waited for Mr. Liu to explain.
But Mr. Liu didn't explain anything, but kept looking at the mural on the second floor.
Su Qin noticed that Mr. Liu's eyes were focused on the murals, and there were memories in his eyes, so he couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Liu, I wanted to ask last time, what are the murals around me and what do they mean?
?”
Mr. Liu withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes with some emotion, stretched out his hand, and lightly tapped the ground.
Suddenly, the scene on the second floor changed. The patterns on the mural seemed to come alive, constantly twisting. Soon, a strange scene appeared in front of Su Qin's eyes.
All I saw was a desolate scene in front of me. There were ruins and broken walls everywhere. It was so desolate.
"This is..." Su Qin was shocked by the scene in front of him, how could there be such a desolate place.
"This is the Xinhuo City hundreds of years ago, which is where you are now, the New City."
"How is that possible?" Su Qin asked in surprise. Hundreds of years ago, the new city was so desolate and uninhabited.
"You continue to read." Mr. Liu motioned to Su Qin to continue reading so that he could understand what happened.
I saw that time seemed to be played at double speed, the sun was rising and setting, and Su Qin witnessed that Xinhuo City was constantly developing.
At the beginning, the innocent souls who died because of the war gradually appeared in the desolate land. They wandered the land without any sanity.
Slowly, sane souls appeared among the innocent souls, and they began to bite and devour other innocent souls. By devouring other weak innocent souls, they became increasingly stronger.
Gradually, leaders emerged among them, tribes were formed, and Xinhuo City was divided.
Soon, it was divided into several larger areas. Although Xinhuo City was already a barren land at this time, there was no difference to the ghosts.
They can expand their territory by gradually occupying it, and then devour more ghosts. What's more, they are no longer satisfied with devouring low-level innocent souls and begin to devour humans.
Su Qin watched them grow from wandering souls to ghost kings, devouring wandering souls at first, and finally devouring humans, but he was unable to stop them.
Countless times, Su Qin watched helplessly as human beings were torn to pieces by the Ghost King before his eyes and swallowed into his belly. He was afraid, he hated, but mostly he was angry and helpless.
Facing these things that just happened in the past, he had no way to change, he could only watch silently, like a slide show.
As soon as the scene changed, several ghost kings had expanded their territory to a large extent, and there were no traces of humans around for thousands of miles. They began to have ideas about each other.
Despite the constant fighting, there were no casualties among the ghost kings, but their men were constantly being consumed.
Su Qin felt puzzled. If the Ghost King had never been eliminated, how could the new city exist now?
Sure enough, not long after, a human appeared on the land of Xinhuo City.
Although he is a human being, he has unrivaled power. He goes to the ghost king's city alone and can destroy countless ghosts while talking and laughing.
Soon, he walked in front of the Ghost King. The ghosts who dared to stand in front of him had already been reincarnated.
He gave the Ghost King a chance to surrender to him and never harm humans again. The Ghost King laughed, opened his bloody mouth, filled with ghost energy, and was about to take action.
The next second, the Ghost King disappeared into ashes, and he simply waved his hand.
Then, the second, and the third, after three ghost kings died, the remaining ghost kings finally understood that the man in front of them could not compete. They lowered their heads and swore to the human man that as long as he existed here, They will not do evil and will not harm any human beings.
The human man agreed and settled in Xinhuo City.
As the scene changed, Xinhuo City regained its vitality. After hearing about the deeds of human men, people gradually approached Xinhuo City and slowly settled here.
They found that the ghosts in Xinhuo City not only did not harm anyone, but also got along with humans, and they gradually felt relieved.
Over time, Xinhuo City became a place where ghosts and humans lived in harmony. The human man was recommended by the ghosts and other humans as the city lord, and Xinhuo City was renamed New City.
"Okay, come to your senses." Mr. Liu's voice rang from Su Qin's ears, and in a blink of an eye, he had returned to the Leaning Tower.
Su Qin couldn't help but feel a little dazed. He had experienced the history of Xincheng. These experiences had greatly changed his thinking. Can humans and ghosts really coexist harmoniously?
It feels like a long time has passed, but in reality it seems that only a few minutes have passed, and I have already felt a long history. Su Qin obviously has a little more sense of the vicissitudes of history.
"Mr. Liu, what do you want to tell me?" Su Qin calmed down and asked, looking at Mr. Liu who suddenly felt sad.
"The human man you saw is my master, Taihao." Mr. Liu said in surprise.
"What...what? You said that human man is your master? But I didn't see you just now."
"I followed the master after he settled in Xinhuo City. Of course you can't see it."
"So, how about Taihao?" Su Qin asked cautiously, knowing in his heart that ghosts can live for hundreds of years, but humans don't have such a long lifespan.
"Master, he got married and had children in Xinhuo City, and lived his old age in peace. A hundred years later, I followed the young master. I felt the master's aura from the young master, so I regard the next generation of the master as the master and wait by his side.
Mr. Liu said with some emotion.
"But..." Su Qin had doubts in his heart. Before, Mr. Liu said that the master had disappeared for a long time. So this master refers to Taihao's descendants? Then where did he go? Why did he abandon Mr. Liu, and this
The leaning tower will appear in my mind.
Mr. Liu had no intention of answering Su Qin's doubts. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and looked at Su Qin: "Go, you go to the third floor and take a look. Besides me, there are other ghosts in this tower. Go
It might be helpful to meet him."
"Don't you want to improve your own strength?" Mr. Liu's words reminded him. Yes, since I found Mr. Liu, I have not thought about climbing up anymore. I have already forgotten about it.
Recalling the scenes he had seen, Taihao had such tyrannical strength. Maybe the ghosts under him would have some method to help him speed up his cultivation.
For a moment, I forgot to ask Liu Lao about the Leaning Tower and Taihao's descendants, and quickly went up to the third floor.
Mr. Liu was left on the second floor looking at Su Qin's leaving figure with a complicated expression.
After going up to the third floor, Su Qin discovered that there were no murals on the third floor like the second floor. Compared with the second floor, there were no books and only potholes on the ground.
It seemed as if he had been through a violent fight.
Su Qin looked at the empty third floor, wondering if it had been too long and there were no more ghosts. When he was about to go down and ask Mr. Liu again, he turned around and found that the stairs he had just gone up had disappeared.
Su Qin was slightly stunned, why did the person who was here just now suddenly disappear?
"Could it be that I didn't notice that there was a ghost, but it was already there?" Su Qin thought that he had not been able to sense the existence of ghosts recently, and he couldn't help but doubt himself.
"Senior, it was Mr. Liu who asked me to come up. I would like to ask you to come out and see me." Su Qin bowed politely.
Silence, deathly silence, I waited for a long time but there was no response.
Su Qin frowned, what's going on? Why don't you come out to meet me?
The third floor is not as dark as the second floor. On the contrary, there are lights on the surrounding walls, illuminating the surrounding area.
Su Qin did not panic. Since others were not anxious, he was not anxious either. He sat cross-legged in the center of the third floor and practiced quietly.
Time passed minute by minute.
Suddenly, a gust of breeze gently blew over Su Qin's face, bringing with it a slight dampness. A triumphant smile appeared on the corner of Su Qin's mouth. Could he finally bear it?
Before he could be happy, he felt like he was punched in the chest and head at the same time. In an instant, his whole body flew out like a cannonball, hit the wall with a thud, and fell heavily.
There were deep cracks on the wall. It was obvious that Su Qin's impact was very impactful.
He himself was beaten to pieces, lost consciousness for a while, and passed out.
Liu Laoruo, who was on the second floor, felt something. He looked up at the second floor and seemed to see Su Qin through the middle. He couldn't help but shake his head, "I didn't expect him to be so impulsive."
