Chapter 646

Shen Lang couldn't help but feel strange, he just got here.

How can these hundreds of thousands of people live long live? At this time, there was no mobile phone and no long-distance communication system. It was impossible for Zhu Hongxue to inform the people in Mojing in advance that Shen Lang was already here.

But Zhu Hongxue and Princess Ning Han did not seem very surprised when they saw this scene.

Seeing Shen Lang's astonishment, Zhu Hongxue explained: "Your Majesty, I told you before that people need a leader and a hope, so although you are not here, we still carved a statue to sit on the throne. The court meeting is held every day, and we have completed a complete restructuring more than 20 years ago, so we already have a complete court hall, with a book desk and a privy council."

Shen Lang couldn't help but be completely astonished that there was such a thing.

This is the ancient ruins developed by Tianya Haige. It is a detached force. I didn't expect that a complete courthouse was built.

Princess Ning Han said: "Your Majesty, the more critical the moment is, the more it needs to be formalized. We must implant belief in everyone's heart, otherwise it will really collapse and it will be completely unbearable."

Shen Lang couldn't help but think of a sentence, life needs to be ritualized.

Especially in such difficult times, this ritualized life can actually support people to continue to live.

Zhu Hongxue said: "Your Majesty, there is one thing that needs your forgiveness."

Shen Lang said: "Please speak.

Zhu Hongxue said: "After the decisive battle between you and the Emperor of the Dayan Empire, Zhu Hongzhu died. However, you ordered the release of Zhu Rong, Zhu Hongping, Zhu Ning and others, without asking for guilt or depriving them of their fame."

Shen Lang said: "But there is such a thing, why?"

Zhu Hongxue said: "Although I was adopted by the Zhu family, I am still the son of the Zhu family, so when the upheaval happened in the Arctic, I brought all the family members of the Zhu family to Mojing. Because of the lack of talents, Therefore, Zhu Rong re-entered the Shangshutai and served as the interim deputy minister of the Dagan Empire."

Shen Lang said: "Who is the first prime minister?"

Zhu Hongxue said: "Teacher Zuo Ci will act in person, and there are two other deputy ministers who are two great scholars of Tianya Haige, Zuo Yan, Li Guangdou, do you still remember Zhang Zhao?"

Shen Lang thought for a while before remembering this person.

Zhang Zhao, who was the Admiral of Tianyue City at the beginning, has always been loyal to the prince. After the fall of Prince Ning Yi, he became loyal to the Zhu family. Since then, he has never changed his position. After the battle of Tianyue City, He also went to jail. Later, after Shen Lang defeated Emperor Dayan, all the prisoners of the Zhu family were released, and Zhang Zhao was also released and demoted to the common people.

Zhu Hongxue said: "Our Tianya Haige was originally a martial arts force, and it was indeed very difficult to form a national force, so Master Zhang Zhao was also called by the teacher into the court and became the privy envoy of Shangshutai."

Shen Lang said: "Who is the privy envoy?

Zhu Hongxue said: "No one will be in charge, and the teacher will take up the position concurrently."

Shen Lang said: "What about yourself?"

Zhu Hongxue said: "I did not serve in the Privy Council."

Shen Lang understood what Zhu Hongxue meant. The exiled court of the Dagan Empire was originally built on the basis of Tianya Haige. Zhu Rong was originally a prisoner, but now he has entered the Shangshu Terrace, so Zhu Hongxue will not enter the Privy Council in order to avoid suspicion. , and he likes the feeling of being out fighting all the time.

Shen Lang said: "Then... Zhu Hongping and Zhu Ning?"

Shen Langdao: "Because you said a word to Lord Zhu Hong at that time, you don't kill Zhu Hongping and Zhu Ning, but you don't need them. So the two did not hold any official positions, Zhu Hongping served as a document, Zhu Ning organized ancient materials, and was in charge of the Literature Museum. "

Hundreds of people are still hovering over the city, just to let Shen Lang see the city clearly.

This city-state is really, really huge. The edge of the city has been reduced to ruins and sand dunes. The more you go to the middle of the city, the greener it becomes.

In the center of the city, it is completely lush, like a tropical garden.

Moreover, the architectural style of this city is completely different from that of the ancient Eastern Empire, and it is also different from the Lost Empire, but it is very similar to the Fire City on the Sea of ​​Magma.

It's not gorgeous, but it's magnificent, mysterious, and quaint.

Its history should be very long, even longer than the ancient Eastern Empire.

All the houses are built of boulders without any wood, and the shapes of the buildings are very primitive, but they are extremely tall, tens of hundreds of meters high.

There are also these stone pillars, which are usually around three or four meters in diameter. They are really high-quality jade pillars, and a few pillars support the entire magnificent building.

In the center of the entire city-state is still a magnificent pyramid, like a mountain, occupying almost a small half of the entire city-state.

And at the top of the pyramid is a statue, a very familiar statue.

It was the one that Shen Lang had seen in the ancient temple, a male man with a human face and a snake body, full of fighting murderous aura.

However, this statue totem with a human face and a snake body is much larger and more ferocious, holding a magic fork and looking up at the sky.

Shen Lang wondered why this totem appeared here?

"We don't know what his name is, so it's called Wangtian." Princess Ning Han said: "He was once the totem of the entire ancient Eastern Empire and was regarded as an ancestor."

This point has always been strange to Shen Lang. Why did the ancient empire enshrine this statue totem, and why did he regard him as an ancestor?

At that time, in the ancient ruins of King Kong Peak, Shen Lang was puzzled.

Medusa is a female with a human face and a snake body, and the ancestor totem in front of her is a male with a human face and a snake body, but not half of the human beings in the ancient Eastern Empire have the characteristics of a human face and a snake body.

This is very crucial. Why do the ancestors worshipped by the Eastern Human Empire look so similar to the Medusa royal family?

Princess Ning Han said: "Your Majesty, you are so smart, you must have an answer in your heart, right?"

Shen Lang couldn't help looking at Princess Ning Han again, looking at her face, and then looking down at her waist.

As a human being, Princess Ning Han's figure is really too demonic, too devilish, especially the curve of the waist, which is not human-like.

This new body of hers is indeed... amazing.

Obviously, Princess Ning Han knew a lot, because Queen Medusa revealed some key information to her.

Also, why is Queen Medusa's empire called a lost empire?

This is the real name of their empire, not the name of later generations.

Under what circumstances would it be named the Lost Empire? It was once destroyed, but it was reborn again, but it has never been able to find the glory of its ancestors, so it is called a lost empire.

And why are there no males in the Medusa race? Without the union of male and female, what would they rely on to reproduce?

Shen Lang said: "The Medusa royal family of the lost empire has a longer history than the humans of the ancient Eastern Empire, right?"

Princess Ning Han said, "Yes."

Shen Lang said again: "Actually, this world has not only experienced a great annihilation once, but twice."

Princess Ning Han said: "Yes."

Yes, that makes sense.

When the sun enters death, its drastic counterattack will definitely more than once, but it will become more and more violent and more serious.

Ninety years later, it was another counterattack before it died, and the result was that the entire planet was wiped out.

Shen Lang said: "The previous two great annihilations, human civilization has also been reborn, and the lost empire has also been reborn. But... the human empire has been changing, while the lost empire has hardly changed, and has always maintained its most primitive state. To some extent , the Empire of Man seems to be degrading all the time."

Princess Ning Han said: "Yes, in order to adapt to the new world environment, human beings on land are constantly changing, from the ancient human form with powerful force to today's ordinary human form. The lost empire has always maintained the beauty of the human face and snake body. Tussaud's form has always depended on strong force and spirit."

Shen Lang said: "That is to say, this Mojing is a more distant ancient ruin, even earlier than the ancient Eastern Empire? Is it the city before the last Great Nirvana?"

"It should be, my majesty." Princess Ning Han said.

Shen Lang looked at this magnificent city-state, it seemed so simple, he couldn't imagine how far away it was.

When he was in Huoyan City at that time, Shen Lang was still very strange. It was obviously the Western world and the territory of the lost empire. How could Huoyan City, an obvious human empire, survive?

Shen Lang continued to look at the center of the city, the male totem statue with a human face and a snake body on the top of the giant pyramid.

He felt an incomparably great power, especially his eyes, which looked up to the sky.

Shen Lang remembered the statue of Queen Medusa. She relied on those eyes to continuously transmit spiritual information, regroup the sea monsters in this world, and let some of the sea monsters evolve, have wisdom, and let the lost empire inherit go down.

So obviously, this Wangtian Totem may also have the same goal.

But obviously he was not so successful, at least his empire in the Great Desert of Ten Thousand Miles has been completely destroyed and reduced to ruins.

Suddenly, countless mysteries appeared in Shen Lang's mind.

What does this male race with a human face and a snake body have to do with the Medusa royal family?

What do they have to do with ancient humans?

Shen Lang said: "This totem of looking to the sky protects the entire Mojing, right?"

Princess Ning Han said: "Yes, it is precisely because of the protection of this Wangtian Totem that this last city-state was able to survive in the great desert of thousands of miles. Not only does it have an oasis, it can resist the invasion of wind and sand, and the most important thing is to be able to hide it completely. Get up, and no enemy can find the entrance."

The Medusa royal family has a strong spiritual power and can create all kinds of illusions.

The Lost Demon Mother just got the spiritual fur of Queen Medusa, and has already established the Second Lost Empire, and even after her death, she has ruled the ruins of the Lost Kingdom for countless years. She has fully experienced the power of creating illusions. .

And the powerful spiritual power released by this huge human face snake body male totem hidden and folded the entire Mo Jing.

It is conceivable that once the energy of Wangtian Totem is exhausted.

Then... the entire Mojing will be directly exposed, and the army of Jiang Li Empire can easily find it.

Not only that, once the Wangtian Totem's energy is exhausted, the ecosystem here will be completely destroyed, and the entire city-state will be completely buried by the wind and sand within a few years, becoming exactly the same as other great deserts.

Shen Lang closed his eyes again. Does this mean that this 130 million-square-kilometer desert was also a powerful imperial civilization in ancient times?

And the race that rules here is a race with a human face and a snake body, very similar to the Lost Empire? Just male?

…………………………………………

Shen Lang saw the palace, just south of the giant pyramid.

Moreover, this palace was actually newly built, almost exactly the same as the Dagan Palace, and it was almost a one-to-one copy. It was so special in this ancient city-state of ruins.

At this time, the court meeting is going on, and there are really civil and military officials.

On the throne, there is really a statue of Shen Lang.

It is too similar, no matter the face, even the shape and temperament, are exactly the same as the previous Shen Lang.

And this statue is not serious at all. Although wearing a dragon robe and a crown, it is very lazy, and the arms are still supported on the chin, which has a feeling of listening or not listening.

It's so real, even though it's a statue, it seems like a real person.

At this time, the civil and military officials in the court were really discussing political affairs very seriously, and they were not bluffing, but very professional discussions.

On the square outside the palace, there were densely armed golden armored warriors.

Shen Lang had seen this scene vaguely. It was in the Buddha Palace on Buddha Mountain. At that time, the Sect Master Ren also changed the Buddha Mountain into a palace, and there were also special officials.

Tianyahaige seems to avoid this, so try to fill the courtroom of Mojing with officials from the previous Yue Kingdom, and try not to let people from Tianyahaige serve as officials.

However, there is still a fundamental difference between this and the former Buddha Mountain.

When Sect Master Ren established the Buddha Palace, the Daqian Empire was still alive, not only Qianjing but also Raging Tide City.

At this time, Raging Tide City was gone, and Qianjing, Tianyue City, Yanjing and other places all fell.

Then, as the pure land of Mojing, it has indeed become the orthodox of the Daqian Empire.

Just like at the end of the Ming Dynasty, although the Manchu Qing had occupied most of the area, where the Yongli Emperor is, where is the orthodox Nanming, where is the imperial capital.

Although the Dagan Palace was far from Shen Lang's field of vision at this time, his body was very strong, and he could see the inside of the court when his eyes were fixed.

I saw a lot of familiar faces all at once. I had seen them in the Yue Kingdom court. Most of them were officials of the Zhu Department, but after the Battle of Tianyue City, the guilty officials of the Zhu Department were killed, and the rest The Zhu Department officials had no personal crimes, but were arrested and jailed just because of the station/team.

After Shen Lang defeated Emperor Dayan, the officials of the Zhu Department, none of whom committed personal crimes, were released, but there seemed to be no place for them in Yue Kingdom.

When Zhu Hongxue took away Zhu Rong, Zhu Hongping, Zhu Ning and others, they also brought this group of people who had no place to stand here.

Unexpectedly... Now they have become the last courtiers loyal to Shen Lang and the Dagan Empire.

The creation of this world is too bizarre.

At that time, Shen Lang would never have imagined that the officials of the Zhu Department would eventually become his last surviving loyal ministers.

Shen Lang couldn't help but think of the kneeling before Zhu Hongzhu died, and shouted like weeping blood: Long live my emperor, long live, long live.

He is not afraid of death, but afraid of being rejected by Eastern orthodoxy.

He wished Lord Hong to be loyal to the Dayan Empire, but after Shen Lang defeated Emperor Dayan, he became the Eastern Orthodox, so Lord Zhu Hong would naturally be loyal to Shen Lang. But he has no chance and no face, so he can only die.

But even if he died, Zhu Hongzhu was not willing to be expelled by Shen Lang from the class of Oriental scholars.

Therefore, after Zhu Hongzhu died, Shen Lang did not decree to deprive Zhu Hongzhu of his fame, and was willing to admit that he was a scholar-bureaucrat of the Eastern Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, do you want to see your courtier?" Zhu Hongxue asked tremblingly, he had dreamed of this day for a long time.

Shen Lang found that the pavilion master Zuo Ci was not in the hall.

"Teacher is looking for you, he will never believe that you are dead." Princess Ning Han said: "Because you met with him before going to Yanjing to fight the Dayan Emperor, and had a secret conversation, and it was this secret conversation, Fill him with hope, and fill us with hope. So for more than ten years, he has been looking for you all over the world, and in all areas outside the Dark Empire, he has searched almost every mysterious place. "

Zhu Hongxue continued to ask: "Your Majesty, are you going to see your courtiers? Are you going to meet your hundreds of thousands of people?"

The court in Mojing was very solemn. Not only all the officials had to kowtow, but even hundreds of thousands of people had to kneel outside the Dagan Palace.

Decades have been like one day, so the loyalty and fanaticism of these hundreds of thousands of survivors to Shen Lang has reached the extreme.

Zuo Ci is using this sense of ritual to desperately highlight Shen Lang's status, almost a god.

At this time, the kneeling and worship had ended, but the pilgrimage continued, but outside the palace, hundreds of thousands of people were still reluctant to leave, but stood quietly in the square, as if to listen to the hadith.

Personality/god/transformation, personal/person/worship/ism should be incorrect most of the time, but in this desperate moment, it can unite people's hearts.

Shen Lang shook his head and said: "I will go to see them, but not now, I will go to see them after I have regained my original face and figure, so as not to disappoint them."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhu Hongxue said, "Then when?"

He really couldn't wait.

Shen Lang thought for a while and said, "At least three days later, because there will be a big show in these three days, it will be very interesting."

Jiang Li said in a secret letter that he infiltrated a pretender in Mojing. Within three days, if Shen Lang did not expose him, Mo Jing would be wiped out. (The three days mentioned here refer to the three days after Shen Lang entered Mojing)

This is the first game between Shen Lang and Jiang Li.

Moreover, it is Shen Lang's home court. If Jiang Li can't defeat Jiang Li at a distance of tens of thousands of miles, what hope is there for the next fight?

"You take me to live in a secret place, I don't see anyone." Shen Lang said: "If it is not unexpected, before this evening, the big show will start.

Zhu Hongxue said: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Then, Zhu Hongxue and Ning Han took Shen Lang to a building on the west side of the Great Pyramid to land, and lived there.

"Your Majesty, you were supposed to live in the palace, or in the central pyramid." Zhu Hongxue said, "But you don't want to show up in advance, so you can't go to the palace. The big pyramid can only be opened by the teacher, so I can only let you first. Living here, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Shen Lang said: "It's okay!"

Next, Shen Lang and Princess Shen Mi lived in this ancient building.

The female warriors under Princess Ning Han temporarily became maids, taking care of the lives of the two of them. Countless delicacies, countless clothes, and countless materials were sent in like water.

And Marshal Zhu Hongxue became the gatekeeper, guarding the gate and not allowing anyone to enter or leave.

………………………………

In the tall window, Shen Lang and Princess Ning Han stood side by side, looking at the scenery outside.

"This city is very primitive and simple, not as refined as the Eastern Empire and the Lost Empire, but it has another kind of thrilling beauty." Princess Ning Han said.

Shen Lang said: "They uphold a more pure aesthetic point of view."

Princess Ning Han said: "Your Majesty, you said earlier that there will be a big show before this evening?"

Shen Lang said: "Yes, if it is not unexpected, it will be like this."

Ning Han said: "What if the performance is bad?"

Shen Lang said: "The entire desert capital will be destroyed, and the last place of hope for mankind will be completely lost."

Princess Ning Han said, "Is this the battle between you and Emperor Jiang before?"

Shen Lang said: "Yes, and this is my home court. He challenges me at my home court."

Princess Ning Han looked at the sun in the sky. It was after noon, but the sun was slightly tilted to the west.

The two waited quietly.

"When the sun goes down, will it definitely happen?" Ning Han asked.

"Yes." Shen Lang said: "That person has always been full of ritual. I have gradually gotten to know him, and I will definitely start the big show and the game when the sun goes down."

The sun is gradually setting west.

Among the thousands of miles of yellow sand, the sunset is especially beautiful.

It looks so big, so red, so beautiful.

Although it is a desert, there is no shroud of Jiangli Empire, no hell crystals, no snow and ice, and no low temperature of dozens of Baidu, so this place is still like a pure land for human beings, a place of light.

The sun was already beginning to fall below the horizon.

However, the big drama in Shen Lang's mouth was still not staged.

There was still no change in the entire Mojing.

The atmosphere seemed a little tense.

As if to buffer the tense atmosphere, Princess Ning Han suddenly said: "Your Majesty, you have to prepare your mind. When my teacher comes back, I will propose to you for me."

Shen Lang couldn't help but be startled?

Proposal? Keep the previous marriage contract?

Maintain the marriage contract between Jiang Li and Ning Yuanxian? Let Shen Lang marry Ning Han?

However, Jiang Li has already become a world destroyer. Is it necessary to continue this engagement?

At a critical stage in this world, who can care about such trivial matters as children's love?

Princess Ning Han said: "This marriage contract is not only settled by father Wang Ning Yuanxian and Jiang Li, it may even involve a deeper marriage."

And right now!

In the setting sun on the horizon, two shadows appeared!

Shen Lang said: "Come on, the shocking drama is about to start."

The first game between Shen Lang and Jiang Li was about to officially begin. He was full of excitement and even full of confidence in winning.
