I have a relic of heaven

Chapter 132: The Candle Dragon Arrives, the Demon City Welcomes

Tianjiao City, lower city breeding area.

Bai Cuihua counted quickly with her fingers:

"Chenghui, two taels of money!"

After collecting the money and asking the waiter to see off the last customer, the proprietress, who looked to be in her thirties and still had some charm, stretched lazily.

"Put up the closing sign. It's getting dark. Go back and get some rest."

"Okay, Madam Boss!"

Bai Cuihua was a little dazed as she watched Xiao Er clean up the place quickly and close the door.

This waiter has some resemblance to Xiao Mu back then.

Xiaomu is a good boy.

Will you still be alive?
She sighed softly and suddenly realized that she had been in Tianjiao City for almost seven years.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there were many demon cities with this name. In fact, among the tens of thousands of cities in the two dynasties, many had the same name.

Tianjiao City is different from other demon cities. This city is built on a magnificent mountain. It is a mountain city.
Below the halfway point of the mountain is the lower city breeding area, and above the halfway point is where the monsters live, called the upper city.

This place is also different from Quanjue City. It does not introduce any of the ingenuity of the Buzhou Ministry of Works. It is completely ancient in appearance.

Seeing the waiter finish cleaning and put away the tables and chairs, Bai Cuihua shook her head and shouted:

"Work for another day or two, and you won't have to come anymore."

"what?"

Xiao Er was a little panicked, with a bitter face:
"Madam, did I make any mistake?"

Bai Cuihua shook her head gently:
"No, the restaurant can't continue to operate."

As she spoke, she opened the wooden drawer, took out a few ingots of silver and two strings of copper coins, and handed them to the waiter:

"Keep it well, find a new way to make a living, save the money and marry a wife."

There is no such thing as a life and death lottery in Tianjiao City. When the demon master in the upper city wants to eat people, he just comes and captures them at will - it is hard to say whether it is good or bad.

But in Bai Cuihua's opinion, it is good.

Only a few monsters can come to the lower city to hunt at will. Only big monsters and top monsters have this right.

Therefore, in a sense, the number of people eaten in Tianjiao City every year is much less than that in Quanjue City.

The waiter was stunned:
“It’s not going to work anymore”

He thought of the people who came last night and couldn't help asking:
"Madam, it's because of yesterday."

Bai Cuihua waved her hand:
"If you want to live, don't ask too many questions. It's getting dark. Go home early."

The waiter hesitated for a moment, and finally quietly put away the money, bowed to the proprietress, closed the door and left.

He did the same thing again, giving some money to the chef and the kitchen assistant, and after they left, the restaurant was empty.

The proprietress sat down on the cleanly swept wooden table, waiting quietly.

Soon.

"Squeak~!"

The door of the building was pushed open and a masked man walked in.

"You're here on time." Bai Cuihua put one foot on the table and sneered.

The masked man didn't care. He stared at the white thighs of the proprietress wantonly, closed the door, and said lightly:
"Boss Bai, how is the decision going? It took us a lot of effort to find you."

Bai Cuihua sneered and said nothing.

The masked man continued:

"Again, follow us, you still have a chance to survive, otherwise..."

He smiled and continued:

"The old dragon in Tianjiao City has been begging us for several heavenly medicines recently. A heavenly being like you is the best heavenly medicine."

Bai Cuihua pursed her lips, her expression frighteningly cold:
"You guys are conspiring with demons. You make me feel sick."

"Boss Bai, you can't say that."

The masked man still smiled:

"We have spent a lot of money to win over the Lord of the Demon City, and we both get what we want. Now, you have to give me a definite answer. Will you obey or not?"

A faint celestial aura surged from his body, and behind him, six illusory caves were floating up and down, through which one could glimpse vast vital energy, twisting and swirling like a storm.

Bai Cuihua narrowed her eyes:
"If I hadn't been seriously injured seven years ago, huh."

The masked man smiled:
"Then it won't just be me who comes."

Bai Cuihua's chest was heaving, and she felt a deep sense of powerlessness in her heart. She said coldly:
"What exactly do you want me to do?"

"You don't need to worry about that."

The masked man said calmly:

"Don't worry, Boss Bai, your life will not be harmed. It will certainly be painful. In fact, if we hadn't asked for 'voluntary', we would have beaten you up and taken you away long ago."

Bai Cuihua spoke word by word:
"Tell me, what do you see in me?"

Illusory caves also appeared around her, with one more than the masked man. Seven of them were floating up and down, but they looked very unstable and had cracks.

The energies of both sides were confined inside the restaurant, colliding slightly. Tables, chairs, abacus, wine jars, plates and bowls were silently turned into ashes.

During the confrontation.

The masked man narrowed his eyes, pondered for a while, and finally restrained his energy and said:

"The two Buddhist mountains in the west are restricted areas. No one dares to set foot there. On normal days, one cannot come into contact with the Vajra of Buddhism."

"People like you, who are in the heavenly realm and have been saved by the Vajra of Buddhism but not completely saved, are even rarer, almost non-existent."

"A situation like that in Inujue City is something you can only encounter by chance."

After a pause, the masked man continued:

"That's the quality we want in you."

Bai Cuihua pursed her lips and clenched her fists again and again. The masked man noticed this and said with a smile:
"Boss Bai, don't even think about running away. The old dragon is in the upper city. If we shout, it will look down upon us."

"You are a celestial being, you should know the gap between yourself and an earthly immortal."

Bai Cuihua had a cold face:
"Give me a few more days. I need to take care of some things and settle some friends."

"Today, right now."

The masked man took a step forward, and six illusory caves glowed, with a huge amount of vital energy spewing out from them.

Although they tried to restrain themselves to avoid making too much noise, the boiling energy still showed a fierce momentum and trapped Bai Cuihua! !
Both of them are celestial beings at the first level of the heavenly realm.

Even Bai Cuihua is better than the masked man, but.
She was seriously injured in Inujue City seven years ago, and it has not healed yet. She is still in a serious state.
The seven illusory caves on his side were full of cracks. In a fight, they were no match for the masked man and were completely suppressed!
The masked man's breath became stronger and stronger. Bai Cuihua was defeated step by step. It became increasingly difficult for her to breathe and she felt dizzy.

She took a deep breath and decided to fight.

suddenly.

There is light outside the window.

The masked man was slightly surprised and slowed down his movements. Bai Cuihua took the opportunity to break free from the restraints of her vital energy, but she did not rush to fight back. Instead, she looked out the window with the same confusion.

It was still dark a moment ago, but now it was as bright as day outside.

The whole street and even the whole demon city woke up,

There were screams and noises outside, and the masked man narrowed his eyes suddenly. What happened?
Could it be that this was another unusual incident that happened half a month ago?

But no matter what, today is difficult.

Glancing coldly at the panting Bai Cuihua, he said calmly, "Boss Bai is lucky, but his good luck won't last forever, right?"

"I'll come see you again in two days."

"You can keep your restaurant open for the next few days."

As he spoke, the masked man snorted, and his figure turned into a wisp of breeze and disappeared.

Bai Cuihua panted for a while, straightened her hair, walked quickly forward, pushed open the door, and wanted to see what happened, but when she walked out of the restaurant, she was stunned.

"what is that?"

Like many terrified people in the streets,
She saw in the distance a red snake as tall as Tianjiao Mountain, ten thousand meters long, with a human face, a candle in its mouth, and a vast illusory sun above its head.

Under the illumination of the candlelight and the illusory sun, the entire Tianjiao City was as bright as day! !

The ten thousand meter tall human-faced snake stood upright, probably as high as the Tianjiao Mountain. As it got closer, the Tianjiao City became brighter!
"Is this a demon?"

Bai Cuihua swallowed her saliva, unable to sense the specific aura of the monster. What kind of monster is this? ?
When the human-faced red snake arrived at Tianjiao City and Tianjiao Mountain,

In the upper city, figures rushed out one after another, and a dragon poked its head out.

"Who is your Excellency?"

The old dragon's voice echoed throughout the mountain city, and many civilians in the breeding area felt severe pain in their ears and rolled on the ground.

"My name."

The giant demon with a big sun hanging over its head and a candle in its mouth spoke with a voice as deep and majestic as a bell:
"My name is Zhulong."

As the creature called Zhulong spoke, a burning air gushed out, and a spring breeze blew, and all the flowers and trees on the mountain blossomed.

It's like spring.

It is clearly late autumn now.

"Zhulong."

Bai Cuihua swallowed and murmured the name - she didn't know Zhulong, but she had heard of him.

The god of Zhongshan Mountain controls the day and night and the four seasons of the Nine Netherworlds.

Bai Cuihua thought of the shocking events that happened more than half a month ago, and the legend she had heard - a candle dragon that was much more powerful than a true king, stared down at the human world from the Netherworld, turning darkness into day.

"Zhulong, why did you come to this small town?"

"Have all the legendary monsters appeared in the world?"

Bai Cuihua didn't understand.

The old dragon didn't understand either.

But that didn't stop the old dragon from feeling creepy and a chill down his spine.

In my perception, this is clearly just a big monster.

But the bright sun and the sight of spring all over the city cannot be faked.

I'm not afraid of the fake, I'm afraid of the real.

Just in case it's true.
After a long period of dead silence.

The old dragon shouted loudly.

"Little Jiao, welcome the God of Zhongshan to this city!"

"We respectfully welcome the God of Zhongshan to this city!"

All the huge monsters that rose into the sky shouted respectfully, and one after another, including the old dragon, lowered their heads.

Zhulong, holding a candle flame in his mouth, slightly opened his eyes and moved his body gently. He was still several miles away from the city.
But these several miles seemed to be compressed into a few meters when he moved, and it was gone in a flash.

He stood by the mountain city, lowered his eyes, and glanced at the entire Tianjiao City.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

Bai Cuihua felt that Zhulong seemed to have glanced at her.

No, two eyes.

He seemed stunned.

"Prepare a palace for me."

Zhulong made a sound like thunder and a huge sun shone above his head, illuminating all directions.

………………

The news of Zhulong's appearance spread like a gust of wind.

It went viral.

Now the mountain, Maitreya Temple.

"I see."

The ancient Buddha whispered, and the Sanskrit sound was loud.

He lowered his eyes, and a Buddha asked:

"Now, World Honored One, do you want to send the Bodhisattvas and Arhats to meet the legendary Zhulong?"

"or."

This demon Buddha smiled:

"Do you want to capture Zhulong? I heard that it was just a newly born Zhulong, which was just at the stage of a great demon and was extremely weak."

The ancient Buddha glanced sideways, staring at the Buddha, motionless.

The latter's smile gradually faded, and he began to sweat profusely. He suddenly leaned forward and said:
"I hope the World Honored One will forgive my sins!"

The ancient Buddha snorted coldly and said indifferently:
"Zhu Jiuyin sits in the Netherworld, not hesitating to briefly break the connection between heaven and earth, staring at the entire human world, turning the dark night into day."

"Looking back now, is inconvenience a kind of announcement?"

"He is also going to intervene in the battle between heaven and earth."

"That Zhulong is his man."

As he spoke, the ancient Buddha exhaled a breath of turbid air and said:
"If you feel that you have lived too long and want to attain nirvana, you can go by yourself. Don't involve my Maitreya Temple or the present mountain."

"Please forgive my sins!" Buddha prostrated himself.

………………

Southern Demon Dynasty, Imperial City.

"Zhulong."

The Southern Demon King narrowed his eyes slightly:
"The underworld on earth is getting anxious."

"Your Majesty, do you want to meet Zhulong?" asked the True King.

"No need."

The Southern Emperor shook his head and said calmly:

"Send an envoy and have him serve well. After all, he has appeared in our Southern Dynasty. Let's see what this Zhulong wants to do. But give the order and don't provoke him, lest you anger the one behind him."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The True King retreated.

The Southern Emperor coughed violently twice. He was wearing a mask and his expression could not be seen clearly. He muttered to himself:
"This old Qingniu was really harsh."

"Humph."

The Southern Emperor exhaled slowly.

A breath of pure and clean air.
