The Black Mother couldn't help but tremble, as if at this moment, she was already in the deserted street at twelve o'clock. Looking around, the big living people are all gone, and there are not a few people who come out at this time, none of them are alive, replacing the posture of the living when walking, it is equivalent to not moving their feet, only floating on the ground, and the face is dull and will not move their eyes, no matter what they are carrying in their heads and stomachs, the living people can't see their expressions, and the special horror is that if they bump into it, they can't escape, so they can only wait stupidly and wait for those ghosts to pounce and bite themselves clean. As for where to flee, if there are no gods with superior skills to come to their rescue, they will definitely die!

"That Zhong Kui," said Luban No. 7, "I will tell you very clearly that the only time he appears before the eyes of mankind is at midnight. Chang'an has been under a strict curfew system since the day it was founded. When twilight falls, people can only stay in the square, and the Suzaku Avenue that runs through Chang'an City is empty. When it's time for the drums to beat, the door will open. Zhong Kui began to patrol his city, scavenging out any beings he judged to be ghostly beings—those who tried to destroy Chang'an. His massive body, piercing through the ancient chaos, is enough to devour any rebels and throw them into eternal darkness. ”

"Oh oh ha~" The old master was finally able to let out a long sigh, feeling satisfied, and deliberately added the word "ha". Lu Ban No. 7 has a lot of knowledge in his head, and he really underestimates him when he says that he is an ignorant puppeteer, but he doesn't know whether to praise or admire, and he still has the arrogance of an academic master, so he said: "It seems that there are two judges who can manage the living and the dead at the same time, except for the Qingming Jixia Academy in the entire King Continent, no other place can not do without this kind of person!" ”

Lu Ban No. 7 was startled, his expression remained unchanged, but his neck shrank suddenly, and he stared left and right with big eyes, "No one can say when the legendary Zhong Kui will appear, the old master must not say such things in front of him, otherwise we will get into trouble!" ”

The old master still didn't seem to think so, "Tell him the truth, why do you get into trouble because of this?" Zhong Kui is originally a character who walks between humans and ghosts, so I don't want me, the principal of Jixia, to make things up in order to please a guy who is not a human or a ghost, right? ”

In order to illustrate the facts, Lu Ban No. 7 tried his best to stabilize his panic and said: "The old master has lived longer than anyone else, so he can win the support of all the students of Jixia Academy, and at the same time gain the respect of the school officials, and he has always taken on the great responsibility. But you don't have to pretend that you don't understand the past related to Chang'an, right? For example, the Tower of the Sun, which was destroyed by Hou Yi, and the Dongfeng Altar, which is a weapon of mass destruction, are so powerful that they are enough to change the appearance of the entire Chang'an City! ”

The old things that the old master had experienced were exposed one by one by Luban No. 7, and even Hei Mu and Mengqi were suddenly surprised.

The appearance of the old master today does not mean that he looked like this a million years ago. What kind of past does he have, and why did he join the search for the Heavenly Book as if he was destined to heaven, I'm afraid the reason is only clear to him, right? But there is no need to worry that as long as he is willing to tell all the past events, since he trusts his friends and has no reservations, the two of them do not have to worry about anything.

Luban No. 7 said that in Xingtou, how can there be a little cringe? Without waiting for the old master to open his mouth, he continued: "Master, teacher, we don't have to be in such a hurry to trace his past, seeing that Zhong Kui is about to appear, I will finish him first!" ”

It was only then that the few people surrounding the little guy fully understood the inside story.

The place where Zhong Kui is about to appear is that "door". The door is placed on the cornerstone that distinguishes the past from the future, because as long as Zhong Kui does not show up, no one will come, and the cornerstone has always been covered with cobwebs and dust, and anyone who sees it feels inconspicuous and can rashly ignore it.

As a result, people came and went from the door, but no one noticed Zhong Kui, but he was at ease. As a flexible soul creature with a flexible body, he had been watching every move of Chang'an City for a long time, before he looked back at the old times.

Zhong Kui is indeed a soul creation, which is different from a mechanism creation, which is equivalent to a creature that can travel through different eras. This is the reason why Lu Ban No. 7 was busy trying to investigate it as soon as he obtained this secret from Master Lu Ban. And he has been fighting until today, until he takes revenge for staying in the empty room for the three of them, and he will not be resentful, just because he has just found out the inside story related to Zhong Kui.

Zhong Kui's favorite thing to do is to listen silently. He could see what others were doing, such as who had planted the seals of the Demon Path, who was smuggling into dangerous institutions, and who was planning secret schemes, and nothing could escape his eyes and ears. He always watched coldly how humans came and went, and observed the change of the ruler of Chang'an City and the setting of the sun and the moon.

After such a long time, no matter how many big things Zhong Kui has done with the help of the Yin Si manager, he will not be shaken by the trivial matters in the world. He generally does not meddle in mortal things, as long as it is not a conspiracy to take people's lives. He will always remember the meaning of his existence, his mission, to protect the cornerstone of the world that connects the virtual and the real, and the city built on this cornerstone, which is also the place he longs to prosper.

Don't think of him as the first ordinary resident of Chang'an City, he is the true master of Chang'an City! As long as he is within the boundaries of Chang'an City, no one can resist his power. All this is because his strength is closely connected to Chang'an's heart. He's here, Chang'an is there!

"Wow~" The old master shouted again, although including Hei Mu and Mengqi were also excited when they heard this explanation, and they were so excited that they almost burst into tears. Of course, Mengqi's state was all expressed by his distant voice, and his big face in the sky was not visible to anyone for the time being.

The old master said, "I already fully understand what Chang'an City looks like at this time!" At the same time, I also recalled the events of that place: about Chang'an City, there is a legend among scholars that at midnight, the twilight drum that no one beats echoes, knocking on the mysterious door, where the glow of the past is hidden! ”

"Old Master, you actually know the secret of these miracles!" Luban No. 7 praised it unabashedly: "It is said that in that great city, there is also a majestic city guarded by the city walls and the vitality cannon. It is based on a cornerstone that has existed since ancient times. It is the source of power that drives all the organs in Chang'an City, and it can be called the heart of Chang'an! ”
