The end of the world begins with failing an exam

Chapter 525: Paradise in Troubled Times
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, as if it were 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 a person who is afraid of trouble." Chen Bofu didn't care whether smoking was prohibited in the temple. He lit one as soon as he took his seat. He looked at the seated statue of the Buddha with squinting eyes. The more he looked at it, the more he felt displeased. "Ejia, By cooperating with my grandson, our temple can also benefit a lot..."

"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 Everyone in the temple is considered a figure, 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 and signaled Let him stop talking.

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.

"Master 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 the gesture in 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?"

"Who knows, its excitement is like... like a hungry wild dog seeing meat! Yes! That guy might want to eat you!"
