Seeing the old man bowing his head, Li Qiye said lightly: "It's easy to do it, it's not worth mentioning." Although Li Qiye said it lightly, for the old man, it was a life-saving grace. He was grateful and busy. He bowed again and said: "Old man Wu Youzheng, I can't repay the grace of saving my life. When I am needed in the future, I will always listen to the call and do my best" However, the old man had not finished what he said, Li Qiye had already drifted away, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye. For Li Qiye, this kind of thing was really done casually. He didn't bother to pay more attention to it, and how could he care about the old man's gratitude. The old man raised his head and watched Li Qiye's figure disappear into the horizon. He couldn't help but sigh softly. He knew that he had met an expert today. Such an expert could kill the tree demon easily. If you go, how can you get close to people? Li Qiye floated away, one step at a time, his steps were like flowing clouds and flowing water. It seemed slow, but in fact he was one step at a time, crossing the realms of Shiyun Taoism in the blink of an eye. The Shiyun Taoism, as the Taoism in the imperial world, was once the Taoism that ruled the world. It can be said to be a vast Taoism with boundless Taoism. However, such a vast Taoist lineage is already sparsely populated, and there are even fewer cities. The mountains, rivers, and rivers are in a state of twilight. The entire Taoist lineage is like a dying old man, like a candle in the wind. Looking around, everything can be seen. , there was silence and a sickly appearance. Even the birds and beasts on the earth did not have that lively atmosphere, and they all looked as if they were weak. This land looks so barren and in decline, as if the entire orthodoxy will collapse at any time. In fact, Shiyun Taoism was once extremely prosperous, but then declined overnight. Then, both the population of the Taoism and the birds and beasts were greatly reduced in number. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Generation after generation, capable sects and monks who were strong enough either moved away or submitted to other orthodoxy. There were also some sect inheritances that also perished with the decline of the orthodoxy. As for the birds and beasts, especially the birds and beasts that are powerful to a certain extent, they have also left Shiyun Taoism and lived in other places, just like good birds choosing trees to live in. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? With the decline of the Shiyun Taoism, the elixirs of the entire Taoism are becoming less and less, which accelerates the decline of the entire Taoism. Li Qiye walked across the sky and walked down, spanning half of the Shiyun Taoism. The land he walked on was so quiet that it could even be said that it was rare to see a monk flying into the sky and escaping from the earth. In such a declining Taoism, what we see are those small villages with thirty or fifty households located in the deep mountains and old forests. They are already prosperous, and these villages are far apart. The entire Taoism There is no appearance of prosperity at all. Such an orthodoxy, if we say it is an imperial orthodoxy, it is difficult for people to believe it. Such an orthodoxy is close to the edge of collapse. However, for the people of Shiyun Taoism, this is not only a misfortune, but also a kind of luck. Unfortunately, the decline of Shiyun Taoism has made the entire Taoism barren. Fortunately, the source of their Taoism is still there. Now, and still so strong, the entire orthodoxy is far from reaching the edge of collapse. ?????????????????? If an orthodoxy collapses, for the creatures of this orthodoxy, it is indeed a disaster, like a natural disaster, and the entire world seems to be destroyed. When an orthodoxy collapses, the capable creatures can only flee to other orthodoxy or other places to settle down. The creatures who are unable to escape can only watch the orthodoxy collapse and end up with this orthodoxy. The unity was buried in disintegration. Of course, if this continues, the source of Shiyun Taoism will one day dry up. No matter how powerful an ancestor is, he will not be able to make his source of faith prosper forever. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????It relies on the support of generations of strong men and sages. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer living beings in Shiyun Taoism, and there are fewer and fewer monks, let alone existences at the level of true emperors and immortals. Without the accumulation of generations, Shiyun Taoism will probably also When it reaches the point of exhaustion, the entire orthodoxy will eventually collapse. Li Qiye continued to pursue, looking at the desolate and declining Shiyun Taoism without much feeling. He had seen enough of the rise and fall of the sect's inheritance for millions of years, and he could be said to be completely numb. "This is not just as simple as a full meal." After Li Qiye followed all the way, he had a general understanding in his heart and knew what this would be like. At this time, heThe incomparable consciousness has locked this land, so nothing can escape his eyes. Li Qiye knew that the disappearance of Bailan City was just the beginning, or this terrifying scene might spread to the entire imperial world. After pursuing it all the way, Li Qiye finally stopped. A huge ancient city appeared on the horizon in front of him. This ancient city is extremely huge. From a distance, it seems that this ancient city covers an area of ??tens of thousands of miles, lying on this vast land like a behemoth. However, this huge ancient city has already declined. The scope of the entire ancient city is shrinking. Many parts of the entire ancient city have been abandoned. In the end, the entire ancient city has shrunk to less than one-tenth of its previous size, not even one-tenth. It turns out that such an ancient city is also the largest city in the current Shiyun Taoist tradition. After the entire ancient city was abandoned on a large scale, many towering city walls and standing pavilions were left. Judging from these walls and pavilions, it seems that it was so magnificent in the past. Thinking back on how prosperous this place was in those days, maybe it was once here. It is the king who rules over the world and comes from all directions. Today, all that is left are ruins and overgrown weeds and vines. Looking at the ancient city in front of him, Li Qiye also stopped. Looking at the large area of ??abandoned ancient city, Li Qiye looked at the smoke curling up in the distance and said slowly: "The next target is here." There is no doubt that, Soon, the ancient city in front of us will become like Bailan City, completely disappearing from the horizon, leaving only a deep pit in the end. "Death is coming soon." Li Qiye smiled faintly and stepped into this ancient city. Mingluo City is also the largest and most powerful city in Shiyun Taoism today, and it is also the place with the most monks in the entire Shiyun Taoism. Of course, in the past, when Shiyun Taoism was most prosperous, Mingluo City was also the place where Shiyun Taoism was most prosperous. Later, with the decline of Shiyun Taoism, the entire Mingluo City also declined, and the scope of the entire city was shrinking. Today, the entire Mingluo City is not one-tenth of its size in the past. Mingluo City has a population of 200,000 to 300,000 people today, and it is already the most powerful, prosperous and prosperous place of Shiyun Taoism. If Mingluo City did not have such a profound foundation, I am afraid that Mingluo City would have been like the others. The city dissipated as well. When Li Qiye walked into Mingluo City, the streets of the ancient city still maintained the scale of construction at that time. The streets were extremely wide and grand. The entire ancient city was also very lively. People came and went, no matter on the streets. The vendors and the waiters in the building's wine shop were all shouting loudly, and it was no less lively than other big places. When you walk through countless deserted places and suddenly walk into such a lively and prosperous city, you may be more or less infected. When night falls, the entire ancient city is brightly lit, giving people a sense of glamour. People can feel the charm of the mortal world. This kind of place seems to have more infectious power of life, unlike many places. Like that, there is the deserted atmosphere of monks coming and going, and there are unattainable sacred mountains or ancient temples. Here, it is more like a living world of three thousand feet, because there are few monks here and there are few sect inheritances. For mortals, they only have a life span of a few decades. They are like ants in the world. They cannot open their eyes to see the whole world. They cannot see the decline of Shiyun Taoism. They cannot see the decline of Shiyun Taoism. Their own world is going to perish. For them, it is enough to live each day well. In just a few decades, it is enough to have good food and clothing. This is the difference between mortals and monks. The life span of monks is hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years, while the life span of mortals is only a few decades, which is indeed like a flash in the pan. Li Qiye was walking in this bustling and bustling street, but he was not infected by the bustling and lively atmosphere. He had seen too much of the prosperity in the world, and it was like a passing cloud. He just walked slowly. On the street, he is like a passerby in this world, out of tune with it. "There is nothing wrong with being a mortal." Li Qiye looked at the busy streets and couldn't help but smile lightly and said: "Even if the world is destroyed tomorrow, they will still be ignorant and still be happy, even if there are ants, there are also ants. He once had an immortal heart, and his Taoist heart has gone through countless trials and tribulations. He already has a rock-solid Taoist heart that is unmoved by everything in the world. "Soon, death is coming, but they are completely unaware of it." Li Qiye looked at the blurry lights in front of him, smiled faintly, and continued to move forward. There is no doubt that Mingluo City will be selected as the second target. At that time, the entire Minluo City will face a disaster, and the entire Minluo City will be completely destroyed.??disappears. When Li Qiye came here, he did not come to save Mingluo City, nor did he come to save the people here. He came here because he had something to do of his own. For Li Qiye, he didn¡¯t think much about whether Mingluo City would survive or die, nor did he think about whether to save Mingluo City. Because he is not the savior, he has no reason to save Mingluo City. In fact, in Li Qiye¡¯s view, there is no difference between Mingluo City¡¯s destruction and survival, because even if Mingluo City survives today, it will one day perish. Since the beginning of time, things have risen and fallen like this. There is no eternal prosperity, and nothing is eternal. Therefore, whether it is saved or not, it makes no difference to the future of Mingluo City. One day, Mingluo City will also decline and disappear, and it will also become a ruin. It is just a matter of sooner or later. Li Qiye continued to move forward, and finally he came to a ruins. This ruins was a large area of ??abandoned city in the center of the city. It was overgrown with weeds and insects and snakes came and went. Such a ruin is different from the ruins outside the city. Although the ruins outside are already abandoned, some buildings can still be seen standing still, and the outlines of some ancient temples and pavilions can still be seen. It is a ruin here. All the buildings have collapsed and become wasteland underground.
