Chapter 522 Nan ​​Sushang's Farewell

The ancient steam train roaring from the underworld is the [Neon] train that the Bai family has guarded for generations.

The last time Ji Xun and Qin Rushi went to the Bai family headquarters in Extreme Thief City, they found Nan Su Shang imprisoned on the train.

After that, Ji Xun and Qin Rushi got off the train, but the abolished High Priest of Orlan borrowed Qin Rushi's authority and went to the underworld.

Ji Xun did not expect that the chance encounter at the beginning would become a life-saving straw.

The neon train in front of him was like a small boat in the sea. It was determined by the signal sent by Jia Yu and then drove over.

"Woo woo woo"

The long whistle sounded so pleasant at this moment.

The train seemed to stop at the station and slowly stopped.

Ji Xun and Qin Rushi had both taken this kind of ghost train, and their expressions were calm as usual.

But Bonnie and several revolutionary army cadres looked at the steam car that appeared in the underworld passage in front of them, and they were stunned: There is really a train in this ghost place?

This is not a train.

Ji Xun could now roughly guess that this steam train was actually the manifestation of the mysterious black iron coffin in the carriage.

It should be what people think it is.

Just like human cognition of the world, it is never the original appearance of the world, but the world constructed by self-cognition.

The train stopped, the door opened, and a ghost conductor with black air standing by the door, as if waiting for passengers to get on the train.

This conductor was like the god of death who was calling people's souls to the underworld. Just standing there, there was a sense of horror that made people tremble.

Bonnie and the others looked at each other, but Qin Rushi walked over first.

She took out the 002 ticket that was used exclusively by the head of the Bai family and successfully checked the ticket.

Then she said a few more words to the conductor, and then turned back to signal everyone that they could get on the train.

Jia Yu looked at her with his eyes narrowed into a line, and walked over with great interest, saying as he walked: "Thank you, Miss Qin. I haven't ridden the legendary [Neon] train yet."

It is said that this train can nourish the soul, but because it is exclusive to the Bai family, outsiders have no chance to try it.

Seeing that the train attendant who was like a ghost did not stop the mushroom head, Bonnie and the others followed.

Ji Xun was carrying the black iron coffin and preparing to get on the train. He was originally a little worried that the coffin was too big to get on the train, but when he lifted it over, he found that the space on the train just turned into the width that the coffin could get on the train.

Stepping on the carriage pedal, Ji Xun did not forget to say to the conductor in Gutalen: "Thank you."

The conductor bowed slightly in response.

"Is this the legendary ghost train? Tsk tsk, this trip to the South Continent really broadens my horizons."

"Oh, you found that this train can really nourish spiritual power~"

"It really is."

"."

As soon as Bonnie and several cadres got on the train, they felt the magical effect of this [Neon] train nourishing the soul, and they whispered excitedly.

Ji Xun and Qin Rushi were used to it.

Probably because of a trip to the underworld, this nourishing effect is much stronger than last time.

When they boarded the train last time, the carriage was full of immortals.

But this time it was an empty carriage.

There was only a mysterious man in a cloak in the carriage.

Ji Xun, Qin Rushi and Jia Yu all knew who this person was.

Jia Yu spoke first and chuckled, "Thank you for your help, senior."

Ji Xun sensed the familiar breath and took the initiative to greet him as if he was seeing an elder: "Auntie Nan."

Qin Rushi had also seen it and nodded.

The cadres of the revolutionary army also had grateful expressions on their faces.

Although they had never seen Nan Su Shang, they had all heard of this former high priest of Orlan.

Regardless of his strength or the life-saving grace in front of him, he deserves respect.

At this time, the cloaked man sitting on the seat spoke: "Well. Long time no see."

His tone was as gentle as ever, but Ji Xun didn't know why he heard a weak and old tone.

Nan Su Shang looked at the reserved look of the crowd and smiled: "Everyone sit down, don't be so polite."

She didn't stand up when she spoke, and she seemed to feel that she was a little rude, and then explained: "Sorry, I'm not in good health, don't mind."

Ji Xun and Nan Jing have a special relationship, and of course he has no estrangement with this "Auntie Nan".

Hearing this, he put down the coffin, walked over directly, and asked: "Auntie Nan, are you injured?"

"Not injured."

Nan Su Shang shook her head and wanted to explain, but hesitated for a moment as if it was troublesome.

Thinking of this, she took off the cloak covering her head, and an old face immediately came into view.

White hair, almost no flesh under the skin, shriveled and clinging to the bones, covered with wrinkles like bark. Eyes sunken deeply into the eye sockets, cloudy and dim. Although still with the wisdom and elegance of seeing through everything in the world, but lost the former brilliance.

She also exudes a cemetery-like breath, decayed and weak.

"Auntie Nan, you."

Ji Xun looked at the old face in front of him, although he recognized that this was Nan Su Shang, he was also very surprised.

How could the once familiar and charming beautiful woman become like this?

Qin Rushi and Jia Yu looked at the side, frowning slightly.

I can't think of what happened to make this senior become like this.

After all, in the East Wilderness, Gong Wu might be the best in terms of combat power; but when it comes to magic, even Jia Yu admits that no one can match him.

Nan Sushang himself looked very calm and explained: "The underworld is different from the card master's plane, and the speed of time is also different. I went to a dangerous place and was contaminated by the air of the underworld. That's it."

As she said this, she looked at Ji Xun and the others who could not hide their worried eyes, and comforted them: "It's no big deal. This is the fate of the high priest's lineage. I have accomplished what I wanted to do, and this price is completely worth it. Don't stand, everyone, the way back is still long, everyone sit with Ji Xun, come, you sit next to me."

The people in the carriage were not ordinary people, and they all understood this sentence.

In Nan Sushang's words, there was no regret for himself, only the belief that had never wavered.

"."

Ji Xun listened to this, walked over, and sat next to Nan Sushang.

He knew that this elder had something to say.

Qin Rushi and Jia Yu sat opposite.

The others sat in other seats.

"Woo woo woo"

At this time, the train whistle sounded again, and the train started slowly.

There was a rapidly flowing fog outside the window, and it was completely unclear where the outside was.

Ji Xun asked: "Auntie Nan, what happened?"

He knew that Nan Jing had been to the underworld, and it seemed that there was no negative impact.

How could this Auntie Nan lose half of her life after going there?

"Well, that dusty history still needs to be known."

Nan Sushang sighed slightly after hearing this, and then said: "It's not worth saying more, but since you want to know, then I will say it. However, this is a long story"

When he opened his mouth, the atmosphere was like an old man and an old woman telling stories to the children who were guarding by the fireplace.

Nan Sushang slowly narrated: "Back then, the Tarun Empire was about to collapse because of the rampage of the 'Seven Lords of Natural Disasters'. The royal family prepared various means to save the situation, including the idea of ​​using faith to restrain faith pollution. My Nan family ancestor, as the high priest, was in charge of almost the entire plan. The ancestor chose the [Plum Blossom Q-Moonlight Queen] sequence of the then Queen Montini, and artificially created the leakage of divinity. That is the god that the Silver Moon Sect of the East Wasteland pointed to, "Lord of Dreams and Pleasures" Arachne."

This opening began with various secrets of the last few decades of Tarun's collapse three thousand years ago.

Jia Yu seemed to have known this history for a long time , listening to the distant and deep eyes, there is no strange color.

Ji Xun and Qin Rushi also roughly know some fragmentary information.

And this time, I heard the dusty history from the inheritor of the high priest lineage, and the shock was beyond words.

"At the beginning, using faith to restrain the pollution of the outer gods did have a miraculous effect at first, and the three outer gods, 'Element King·Lagros', 'Scarlet Corruption·Seiadis', and 'Source of Plague·Takpara' were successively sealed. However, the empire has been in a state of dire straits, and war disasters have continued. 'Lord of War Disaster·Monliod' can no longer be contained. The trend of collapse is inevitable. Especially His Majesty Krosa was backfired by the [Tyrant] source card, and he insisted on governing and made many mistakes."

"Later, the 'Xinhuo Plan' was created."

"There is one of the Xinhuo in the East Wilderness, and it is also the most important one. At the beginning of the Innocence City, the migrating imperial residents were temporarily given a chance to breathe because of the isolation of the abyss rift. But as time went on, problems gradually emerged. Without external enemies, the belief in the Moon Goddess is no longer restricted. My Nan family ancestor realized that the belief of the Moon Queen was completely uncontrollable. If she really stayed, not only the royal family, but also the future card master civilization would cease to exist."

"Later, my Nan family ancestor and the Illuminati completely solved the disorderly expansion of the Silver Moon Sect."

"But that battle was a loss for both sides. My Nan family and the Illuminati lost their elites, and my ancestor was also seriously injured. Moreover, the hidden danger of faith pollution cannot be eliminated at all."

"In order to completely eliminate the influence of the Moon Goddess Arachne, all books were burned and history was artificially cut off. Even in the royal family, the information about that period of history has been sealed for thousands of years until now."

"Although the Moon Goddess was sealed, the loss of control of the divinity of the [Plum Blossom Q] source card was not resolved. My Nan family ancestor knew that the Silver Moon believers would inevitably make a comeback in the future, so she laid a thousand-year situation."

"The source of everything is still on the source card of the [Plum Blossom Q]. That was the carrier used by the great god who created the Kashi civilization to seal the power of the demon god, and it was also the only means to completely restrain the moon goddess Arachne."

"."

When Ji Xun heard these words, he had already connected all the fragmented information in his mind.

When the moon goddess Arachne broke free from the bondage of the source card, it was impossible for her to be sealed back and become the mark of the human demon.

At that time, the moon god was in a high position and had the fortune and all the power of faith of the Talun Dynasty, and there was no condition to subdue him.

Then the last high priest Nan Shenyu thought of leaving this method to future generations.

After three thousand years of sealing, the power of the moon goddess Arachne has been exhausted to the extreme.

Now is the best opportunity to seal.

Ji Xun, Qin Rushi and Jia Yu fell into silence after listening.

And Bonnie and the others in the back seat were so shocked that they didn't know what to say.

Only then did they know that the powerful Talun Empire collapsed in this way;

And only then did they know that the Kashi civilization and the Orlan Dynasty in the East Wasteland came from this way;

Nan Suchhang finished talking about that period of history in one breath, as if it had consumed most of her energy, and the fatigue on her brows became increasingly difficult to conceal.

As she said that, she took out a scroll and a sealed secret box, and said to Ji Xun and the others: "This secret box was left by my ancestors of the Nan family. I can no longer leave the underworld, so I leave it to you. ”

"."

Ji Xun looked at the box in front of him with a solemn expression.

It is indeed safest to hide things in the underworld. No one can find them except people from the Nan family.

No need to guess, he also knew that the secret box contained the source card of [Club Queen].

Just like those mantra pots that can seal the outer gods, this source card is also the biggest restraint of the moon god Arachne.

Seeing this thing, Ji Xun also saw Donghuang, which had been controlled by the Silver Moon Sect, and finally had hope of breaking the situation.

Nan Sushang didn't say any more, but used his mental power to convey the instructions for using the items in the secret box.

Ji Xun frowned after hearing this.

The method is a method, but it is not easy.

But before he could think about it, Nan Sushang lowered the scroll again and said, "You should have heard Xiaonan say that the inheritance of my Nan family is very special. I ask you to hand over this scroll to that girl Xiaonan."

"."

Ji Xun had heard from Nan Jing before that the inheritance of the high priest's lineage was bloodline initiation.

In other words, after the death of the previous generation of high priest, the next generation will inherit her extraordinary cultivation and those inheritances.

What is sealed in this scroll is Nan Su Shang's cultivation.

Taking out this thing means that the Aunt Nan in front of her has reached the end of her life.

Ji Xun remained silent and didn't speak.

Jia Yu and Qin Ru stood in awe.

If Senior Nan hadn't gone to the underworld to find the box, he wouldn't be in this situation.

It's not like she said, it's fate.

On the contrary, she used her life to protect the sacred mission of the high priest lineage and also protected the Card Master civilization.

Nan Suchhang looked at the serious expressions of the three people and smiled slightly.

Her mood seemed to be more open-minded than theirs, and she didn't care that she was about to reach the end of her life. Thinking about it, she looked at Ji Xun, her eyes flashing with relief, and added: "And if you can, please take care of Xiaonan for me. That girl is too kind and simple, and many things always make people worry. I I’m afraid she’ll be sad.”

She is not only a high priest, but also a mother.

After explaining the business, he talked about his beloved daughter.

After hearing this, Ji Xun only responded lightly: "Yes."

Seeing him agree, a reassuring smile appeared in the corners of Nan Su Shang's eyes.

The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly fell into silence, and no one spoke anymore.

Ji Xun and the others did not feel lucky to be able to escape from the passage to the underworld.

The train was still speeding, and there was still an invisible fog outside the window.

After a long time.

Nan Sushang saw the coffin in the carriage and said: "By the way, you put the coffin at the head of the train here. It needs to absorb some soul power from the underworld. And now that the death dragon Marodis has returned, I’m afraid I’ll also look for this coffin. When you can see the contents on the stone tablet in the Forbidden Ruins, you will naturally know what its purpose is.”

Ji Xun nodded seriously: "Yes."

Nan Shang added: "You have come to the underworld passage, you should know the secret of the "Lightless Sun", right? The magic of this sequence is very special. It is the most intuitive secret method among the fifty-two sequences that allows people to perceive the mystery of god-level power. Opposite nature, this is the supreme mystery of the extraordinary. All the laws of elements will eventually converge on 'opposition of nature'. It is because this secret technique directly points to the extraordinary mystery that in the later period of the Talon Empire, it was always regarded by the royal family as a forbidden technique that was not spread to the outside world."

Only then did Ji Xun understand that the original reason for the royal family's blockade was because they were afraid of affecting the rule of the government.

Putting away the inexplicable confusion in his heart, he thought of something and asked: "Aunt Nan, I saw before that the divine power of the death dragon Marodis is almost the same as that of the Weeping Angel. Is that the 'opposite nature'?"

"Yes."

Nan Sushang nodded, "If possible, you need to focus on the practice and understanding of the "Lightless Sun" now. But the underworld is too dangerous for living beings to stay there. If you really want to go in the future, you can go with Xiaonan to the coordinates left by the ancestors, and don’t run around."

She really seemed to be looking at her junior and said without reservation: "Oh, by the way, the [Emperor's Stone] in the Imperial Tomb of Augustus on the Rune Highlands also recorded related mysteries. Do you think When you reach the eighth level, you have to gather your little runes. You can go to the imperial mausoleum to have a look."

Ji Xun: "Yeah."

Nan Su Shang: "There is also the Angel of Protection. The ancestors did leave him with hope of resurrection. But it will not be easy. I don't know the details. Only when Xiao Nan can fully understand the secret method in the [Book of the Dead] Maybe. You can tell him something at that time to prevent him from misunderstanding my Nan family. Before that, the divine power of the angel body is a shortcut to help you practice this secret method."

"."

Ji Xun listened attentively.

Unconsciously, the train arrived at the station again and stopped slowly.

Nan Suchhang looked at everyone and said calmly: "The train has arrived. I won't see you off."

Looking at the gray-haired old man in front of him, Ji Xun knew that this might be the last time to say goodbye. His heart felt a little heavy for no reason, but out of the thousands of words in his heart, he only said one sentence: "Goodbye, Aunt Nan."

Qin Rushi, Jia Yu, and Bonnie also stood up and said goodbye.

Nan Sushang looked at everyone and nodded. Suddenly, a sparkle flashed in her cloudy eyes, as if she saw the future of the Kashi civilization.

She passed the baton to these young people.
