Ascension Through Generations

Looking at the tall and solid Wubao in front of him, Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed slightly. He heard Moye said it was Mojia Fort before, and thought it would be quite backward, but what he saw in front of him was almost a prosperous county town.

Seeing several people arriving at the door, a team of Mojiabao guards immediately greeted them.

"Young Master, you have returned safely. The Master and the old man are very anxious. Can you go and see him quickly?"

After a tall man finished speaking, he asked with confusion: "Young Castle Master, this is the helper you invited back."

"It's a long story. Go back and inform my father that the distinguished guest has arrived. Please welcome him in public." Moye quickly ordered the man, and then made a respectful gesture of invitation to Zhao Sheng.

Seeing how respectful the young castle master was to the person in front of him, the Mo family guards naturally did not dare to have any more suspicions and immediately opened the castle door.

The tall and strong man also quickly ran towards the city.

Zhao Sheng followed Moye and the others into the fort, and his consciousness instantly enveloped the entire fort.

The whole picture of Mojiabao suddenly appeared in Zhao Sheng's mind.

The fort covers an area of ​​about ten miles, and the outermost part is mostly simple wooden houses made of thatch and rough wood.

The scale and materials of the buildings become better as you go further inside. The middle section has been replaced by ordinary residences built of brick and stone. The center of Wubao is a building made entirely of black and white boulders. The appearance is rough but heavy. .

There is a rather wide square in the center of the core building complex. There is a solid and thick black stone hall on the square. It is surrounded by tight guards, and most of the guards are no less powerful than innate warriors.

In addition, a gold-shaped white tower in front of the hall is quite conspicuous. The stone of the tower is densely carved with ancient symbols, which seem to be the native runes of the underworld.

Zhao Sheng keenly sensed that there was a huge invisible whirlpool in the sky above the White Tower, which was gathering the surrounding aura of heaven and earth all the time.

Huh?

There seems to be some interesting stuff hidden inside the White Tower.

Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed, he withdrew his consciousness, and looked around. The road under his feet was solid and smooth. The ground was paved with large and small gravels, and the middle was filled with fine loess.

Along the way, all the people I met, old and young, were dressed in linen and ragged robes, with yellow faces and thin muscles.

When these Mojiapu residents saw Moye and others, they either knelt down in awe and saluted, or hid behind the walls of their houses like frightened rats.

For this scene, Moye and the other three seemed to have been used to it for a long time, and they walked in front of everyone as if it were a matter of course.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but have a preliminary understanding of the customs, customs and strict class structure of the Mingye World.

What was even more interesting was that he found that there were very few elderly people in Mojiapu, but there were surprisingly many children under ten years old, almost in groups.

A group of little black mud monkeys, naked and with runny noses, hid under the corner wall of the room and looked over furtively, their eyes full of awe and envy.

Whenever Zhao Sheng turned his eyes towards them, these little babies would run away one after another as if they were frightened.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly, looked past them, penetrated the thin earth walls, and saw all kinds of simple furniture.

But in sharp contrast, every household has dedicated a room to worship luxurious and beautiful shrines.

Some wealthy residents even have pottery figurines of human height in their worship rooms.

These pottery figurines! …

At this moment, Moye suddenly bowed to Zhao Sheng and said: "Sir, please go this way!"

Zhao Sheng nodded, and his consciousness had already seen some gorgeously dressed people walking out of the Mo Family Court Hall.

Moye said to the two guards beside him: "The two clan brothers escorted me all the way this time. They worked hard. Now that we are home, you should go to heal your wounds and rest."

The two innate guards nodded after hearing this, then turned and left.

"Sir, my father is waiting in the court. Let's go see him first." Moye pointed at the tallest black stone palace in the distance and said happily.

"Since I've come to your home, I naturally want to meet the Lord of your castle and lead the way." Zhao Sheng said with a smile.

Just now, his consciousness has covered this Wubao. There are nearly 20,000 people in the entire Mojia Fort. There are only twenty or thirty people with innate cultivation. There are only three people who are cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm. They are standing in front of the main hall at this moment. The red-faced old man who reached the eighth level of Qi refining should be the Lord of Mojiabao.

Zhao Sheng thought,

Moye felt his feet were empty, and he couldn't help but followed Zhao Sheng, flying toward the Black Stone Hall.

In less than a breath, the two of them landed gently in front of the palace door. Opposite them, two feet away, stood four stunned old men in rich clothes.

"My lord, I am very lucky to have arrived at Mojia Fort today. I, the Mo family, are very lucky! I humbly Mokan, together with my clan members, will sincerely and respectfully welcome you!"

When Mo Kan, the master of the Mojia Fort, saw Zhao Sheng coming from the air, his expression suddenly changed. He subconsciously stepped forward quickly, knelt down with a pop of his knees, and almost bowed to the ground.

The three clan elders behind him also hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to salute.

"Get up!"

As Zhao Sheng spoke, he waved his long sleeves, and a powerful force surged up, instantly lifting the four people in front of him from the ground.

From Mokan's humble behavior, we can see how harsh and strict the rules and levels of the Night World are.

"Father." Moye called respectfully.

"Moye, I hope you can come back safely. Have you ever been rude to adults along the way? Have you ever been disrespectful to adults with your words?" Mokan, a red-faced man, asked with a solemn expression.

"Don't worry, father, you are very kind and amiable. And if you didn't take action, the child would have died among the spotted wolves." Moye explained quickly.

When the red-faced Mokan heard this, his expression was excited, his eyes showed reverence, and he immediately wanted to salute Zhao Sheng again.

When Zhao Sheng saw this, he felt a little impatient. Immediately, his body surface glowed with golden light, and a majestic pressure descended on the square. At the same time, he stopped Mokan's movements and said, "You don't need to be polite, go inside and talk now!"

"Yes, sir, please come in!" the red-faced Mokan said tremblingly, with an expression of excitement and apprehension on his face.

In the huge Mojiabao, only he could truly understand how terrifying the adult in front of him was. Even the priest from Sumu Temple was far behind!

…

Seven days later,

In the most luxurious castle master's mansion in Mojiabao, Zhao Sheng stood in front of the stone window, quietly looking up at the giant planet in the sky.

At this time, both the big and small suns in the sky have set. Judging from the time, it should be the dead of night.

But at this time, the sky was still like dusk, and the sounds of chanting sutras, chanting mantras, praying, and worshiping gods could be heard from everywhere in Mojiabao.

Since the star Youshen always hangs high in the east sky, never falling or extinguishing, the light refracted from it permeates the entire underworld, making this world have "eternal daylight" for seven months every year.

Only when the two realms are staggered from each other and the twin suns are hidden behind the ruins of the gods, can the world of dark night usher in the long, cold and terrifying "night".

"All things prosper in the day, and all demons move in the dark night!"

This is the first sentence that every Mingye person should remember when they learn to read, and it should always be remembered and never forgotten.

Zhao Sheng had only lived in Mojiabao for seven days, and he had already deeply seen the extremely superstitious and ignorant side of the Mo family.

Ninety percent of the residents of Mojiapu worship gods, and they worship gods of all kinds. Mountains, rivers, grass, wooden houses, wells, rocks, and rivers. Everything can become a god, and all living beings worship it.

At the same time, all the residents in the fort, regardless of whether they are men or women, are more pious to worship their ancestors than to worship the gods.

Yes, the Mo family worships both gods and ancestors. The two seem to be distinct, but in fact they are essentially the same.

After seven days, Zhao Sheng had already "borrowed" all the literary classics in Mojiabao.

Don't ask questions about literacy. If you ask, it turns out that Jindan Zhenren has great supernatural powers.

From the scriptures and classics, Zhao Sheng finally had a general understanding of some basic information about the entire Nine Demon Continent.

The Nine Demon Continent is vast in area, but judging from the descriptions in the books, the area should be only 40% of the size of the Central Continent, which is about the size of the entire Southern Xinjiang and the Plains of Ten Thousand Nations combined.

The Nine Demon Continent is not dominated by the human race. It is dominated by nine alien races, including the monster race and the alien race. The races are mountain spirits, corpse mushrooms, ghost foxes, ground pythons, Lei Peng, river otter people, and Guan people. Rat, tree charm.

The human forces on the mainland are mainly various religious temples and many family tribes.

As for the cultivating sects and dynasties, there is no record at all.

Small families or tribes with a population of less than 100,000 are like Mojia Fort, building forts and digging holes to live.

A large family or tribe occupies a territory, builds a main city, and protects the main city with numerous satellite cities. Dozens or millions of tribesmen gather in the main city.

Thinking of this, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but think of the many weird and strange monster corpses and zombies he had seen in the abyss battlefield.

Some of them were made from the corpses of the nine alien races.

As for the corpse mushrooms and the mountain spirits, he had no contact with these two groups. However, according to the records in the books, the number one mountain spirit was transformed from the soul of the mountain. They were born on earth, and their strength was heaven-defying.

The second-ranked corpse mushroom tribe turned out to be a strange fungus creature. It was rumored that it migrated from the demon ruins outside the sky to the dark night world, which surprised Zhao Sheng.

The nine alien races each have their own sphere of influence, occupying the best spiritual treasure land in the Nine Demon Continent, and confront each other.

However, in the past two thousand years, the human race has received strong support from the main world, and its overall power has increased rapidly, and it has become the tenth largest race.

Among the classics in the castle, except for the Nine Demons Continent, which has more detailed records, there are very few records about other continents and the Nether God Realm. There are only two or three thin booklets, and most of them are hearsay.

There are only two continents in the Night World. The other continent is honored by the human race and is called Tianmu Continent.

The Nether God Realm only records that there are thirteen continents in this world. Each continent has natural treasures and spiritual energy like rain. The great religions are unfathomable. It can be said that there are great sacrifices like clouds. The golden elixir chief priests are everywhere, and there are even some The true spirit appears in the world of saints.

While Zhao Sheng was thinking about it, the sound of chanting sutras and mantras in his ears suddenly decreased rapidly. The residents in the fort got up and exited from the ancestral statues in the shrine, and then quickly climbed onto the grass kang and fell into a contented sleep.

The daily worship ceremony is over!

At this time, Zhao Sheng left the stone window, and his figure quietly turned into a wisp of blue smoke, flying towards the golden white tower.

…

Three days later, the big star was tilted and the double sun was rising.

The floor of the room suddenly shook violently, and then bursts of rumbling sounds came from the west, which were also mixed with the howling and shouting of hundreds of people.

In the room, Zhao Sheng, who was sitting on the stone bed, suddenly opened his eyes. Two rays of divine light shot out from his eye sockets, and powerful spiritual consciousness spread out.

In an instant, all the scenes within twenty miles were in his mind.

The next moment, Zhao Sheng slapped the bed, and his figure shot out, bursting with flames, and flew into the air outside the house in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Mojiabao was in a panic. Adults and children hid in their homes one after another, and there were cries everywhere.

Looking from a distance, I saw a large black mass of monsters at the entrance to the west of Wubao. Countless dog-sized, oily black-skinned bush rats were squeezing and digging desperately into the ground and the city wall.

Soon, countless dense holes appeared on the ground, and a large chunk of the solid and thick city wall was dug by thousands of bush rats.

In addition, there are also dozens of large blue-feathered birds with wingspans of three feet in the sky. On the backs of the birds are standing bush rat elders who are as fat as pigs.

They were all arrogant, and their big rat eyes showed cunning and cruelty.

The Guan Shu clan ranks third from the bottom among the nine major clans. The strength of ordinary individuals is so low that they cannot even defeat an ordinary adult.

However, the reproductive capacity of the bush rat is very strong, and it has a litter for its whole life, with at least four or five pups in a litter.

Speaking of population size, the other eight races combined are less than one-tenth of the entire Bush Rat race.

When the number of clan rats increases, there will always be some rats with extraordinary talents that stand out. Therefore, just based on the number of clan rats, the Squirrel Rats have become one of the nine major alien races.

There are so many rats that they are overrun. In order to fill their stomachs and give birth to babies, the rats cause harm to their neighbors all day long. They eat up all the food in their path like locusts crossing the border. This makes the rats the target of everyone shouting for beatings.

In response to all the bad reputations, the elders of the Rat Rats all said that they had nothing to do. They were also innocent. Whoever allowed the clan rats to have too many babies couldn't just watch the babies starve to death.

On the fort wall, groups of Mo family guards drew their bows and arrows, shooting desperately, and each wave of arrows would take away a bunch of rats.

On top of the wall, more strong ordinary people lifted up rocks and smashed them into the rats, smashing out balls of blood and mud.

Mokan and Moye, father and son, muttered something while waving their hands and scattering large amounts of red sand. When the red sand hit the air, it exploded into flames and fell overwhelmingly on top of Squirrel's head, creating seas of fire one after another.

Zhizhi!

As the elder bushrat jumped on his horns and squealed wildly, countless bushrats gathered around the sea of ​​​​fire, digging out a large amount of soil, lifting the earth to cover the fire, their movements were skillful and fast, and they looked like familiar rats at first glance.

Fortunately, due to the rain of arrows shot from the city wall and the vigorous counterattacks of the young and old Mo family, these Squirrel Monsters could not make any progress for a while, but they could not reach the city wall in front of them.

As if impatient to wait, the elder bush rat, the largest on the bird's back, suddenly let out a sharp roar.

The next second, the eyes of many bush rats glowed red, and they all screamed wildly.

The big blue-feathered bird at his feet suddenly swooped down, and streaks of blood shot out from the bird's back.

After the blood light fell into the group of rats, the bodies of the rats below stiffened suddenly, and then the hair on their bodies exploded, and their bodies swelled. The rats' eyes were blood red, showing a crazy and bloodthirsty look.
