A white light flashed across the sky, then disappeared again.Today's Xiadu is extremely lively, with hundreds of thousands of people festooned with lanterns and festoons, as if some happy event is about to happen.

It turned out that a few months ago, the first wizard of the Great Xia Dynasty toured the elixir from the Underworld, and the Emperor Xia got the Queen Longyan Dayue, and it didn't take long before the news of the retreat came out.A few days later, a notice was posted in the palace to announce to the world that Emperor Xia had recovered his youthful demeanor, and wanted to worship the heaven and the earth and celebrate with the people.

It was midsummer, Emperor Xia specially ordered people to build a terrace about ten feet high in the summer capital, and water was diverted from the terrace to build a pool.Where the pool water flows, there is a refreshing coolness, which makes the hot summer night no longer so unbearable.Skillful craftsmen carved flowers and fruits around the terrace, and decorated it with luminous pearls, making the whole terrace as bright as day even at night, attracting people from all over Xiadu and even nearby people to come and see it from thousands of miles away.

At this time, the entire terrace has not been opened yet, and everyone standing under the terrace can only vaguely see some outlines above it. Emperor Xia has already issued an edict, and anyone who wants to enter to watch is allowed tonight.As soon as the edict was issued, the common people were full of heated discussions. For them, it is a great fortune to see the beauty of the sky in this life, not to mention being able to personally watch the scenery of this prosperous age, it is not easy to miss it.

Because of this, when the lights first came on, the terrace was already crowded with people.A man dressed in a white robe with golden patterns on the corners of his robe was very eye-catching among the crowd. One reason was that he looked well-dressed, but his appearance was plain and ordinary, and the other reason was that he had just appeared in public. Underneath, he took a luminous pearl off the balcony with his bare hands, how could such a bold act not attract attention.

A girl with two hair bags on her head, who looked like she was only three or four years old, pointed at him and said, "Everything here belongs to the heavenly family. How can you move it casually? If it breaks, you will have to pay for it."

The man smiled and stuffed the pearl into the girl's hand, scratched her nose with his finger and said, "Everything here belongs to the common people in the world, and you are also one of the common people in the world, so this pearl is for you." .”

After speaking, the man disappeared into the crowd.Only the female doll was left with a pearl bigger than her fist in her hand, and she asked her father beside her, "Is what he said true?"

Her father snatched the pearl from her hand, threw it on the ground and said, "Liang Jin, don't listen to that man's nonsense, everything here belongs to the emperor, we are just the most humble commoners, and we have to rely on our own efforts to get everything." You can't take other people's things at will, let's get out of here quickly." After speaking, he also hugged the baby girl and squeezed out of the crowd, leaving only a group of people behind, grabbing the pearl that had just been thrown on the ground.

Taibai Jinxing was walking towards the city gate, recalling the scene he had just seen. The terrace was ten feet high, and although the walls were hand-carved by ordinary people, the terrace was covered by a formation. Even he couldn't see what was going on inside. He suspected that some remnants of the ancient magic circle might have been discovered in the mortal world and used on this terrace.

So just now, he took down a pearl with his bare hands, intending to see if the magic circle on the roof of the terrace would be activated, if not, then the magic circle on the terrace should be just an ordinary magic circle, without the power of attack , but if it is aroused, then he has to take action to destroy the magic circle, so as not to cause irreversible consequences.Simply judging from the reaction just now, his worries are unnecessary.

Going out against the crowd, Taibai Jinxing found that because of the terrace, there were quite a lot more people in Xiadu tonight. He came to Xia first because he was in the mortal world. In this place, many rare and exotic beasts can be found here, and even many technical gadgets that cannot be seen in the heavens can also be found here. Unfortunately, he came here by mistake this time, no matter ordinary people or merchants. I went to see the terrace, but few people paid attention to him at all.

When he was worrying about whether to leave immediately, Taibai Jinxing suddenly saw a person beside him, who was also walking against the flow of people, and that person was in a hurry, even a little more anxious than him.Looking at that person with great interest, Taibai Jinxing suddenly found that the baby girl he was holding in his arms looked very familiar, it was the one he had just seen by the balcony, he thought that this person would definitely lead the baby girl I went to the terrace to have a look, I didn't expect to meet here.

Effortlessly pushing away a few people who were in the way, Taibai Jinxing moved closer to the man and said, "I thought you were going to the balcony, why are you leaving now?"

Seeing that Taibai Jinxing came up to talk to him, the man slowed down a little, "The terrace you mentioned is called Reversing the Universe Terrace, which is the name bestowed by the current emperor. Liang Jin and I just came over to have a look, and didn't intend to go in. It seems The young master doesn't plan to go in, does he?"

Taibai Jinxing smiled, "That's not a paradise, I really have no interest in going in, but you are willing to take this little girl away, aren't you afraid of missing a once-in-a-century opportunity?"

The man looked up at the sky, "Opportunities are not so easy to come by, people are doing what the sky is watching, I only hope that the sky can bless my son to grow up safely."

The man had just finished speaking when he heard a loud noise not far away. Following the sound, he turned his head and saw lights had been lit on the terrace that originally towered in the center of Xiadu. There are four stone steps falling slowly from top to bottom until they touch the ground, forming four ladders, which seem to be waiting for the arrival of everyone.

Taibai Jinxing also stopped, although he had already subconsciously thought that there was nothing wrong with the terrace, but he still couldn't help releasing his consciousness, wanting to spy on the specific situation on the terrace.The spiritual consciousness entered it easily, and Taibai Jinxing found that there was nothing wrong with it. The ladders that appeared around the terrace were transformed by the magic power of a few cultivators. Look, it's still too late."

Without waiting for the man to answer, the originally static crowd boiled instantly. They all knew the news that the Inverted Universe Terrace had been opened, and they all couldn't wait to go in and see the scene inside, but the people who were already crowded at the front had the last point in their hearts. All doubts have been completely dispelled, one after another pushed each other up the stone steps and disappeared at the top of the terrace.

Squeezed by the crowd, the man tried his best to hug the baby girl in his arms, but he was squeezed and walked towards the terrace a little bit. Although he couldn't help himself, he could do nothing.Just when the man couldn't think of a way to escape, a pair of arms stretched out from the crowd, and with one force he pulled the two of them out of the crowd and dragged them into a nearby shop.

Quickly closing the wooden door, Taibai Jinxing had to sigh once again that the power of mortals is also terrifying, if he hadn't been quick-witted, this little baby would have been pushed back with his father.

"Thank you, sir," the man wiped the sweat from his head, and put the two catties in his arms on the ground. This is a silk shop, and the owner of the shop has long since disappeared, and even the shop assistants have disappeared. , should have gone to see the terrace.Liang Jin had never been in a silk shop before. As soon as Fang saw the gorgeously colored silks and satins in the room, he immediately forgot the dangerous scene just now, and disappeared among the bolts of silks and satins.

Taibai Jinxing secretly used a spell to seal the wooden door, then turned around and said, "It's just a little effort. No thanks. I think if you want to leave here, you may have to wait until the crowd passes by."

The man nodded and said, "Although it's a good thing that the sage is lucky enough to find the elixir and climb the road of longevity, is it against the reincarnation of the heavens? The ancestors of the family used to be Taoists, but they were not able to achieve the Tao due to the superficial chance. Immortal, but my ancestors once said that there are visions in the human world and disasters in the Three Realms, I think this matter may not be simple, but we are just ordinary people and cannot change anything."

There are visions in the world, and disasters in the Three Realms...

The man's words echoed in Taibai Jinxing's mind, and a sense of ominousness arose in his heart. Before that, he had always felt that the rumors that Emperor Xia had obtained the Elixir of Immortality were false, and that the Terrace of Turning the Universe Upside Down was just a cover for him to save face. Now that I think about it carefully, the weird formation and the crowds in Xiadu are really weird.

Locking his consciousness again on the balcony not far away, the scene of Taichung immediately appeared in Taibai Jinxing's mind. He saw that Taichung was full of singing and dancing, pavilions and pavilions lined up, and flowers, birds, insects and fish were playing among the gurgling water. lively.And it was this peaceful scene that made Taibai Jinxing sit up from the wooden bench suddenly, how could he see such a scene!Just now it is clear that half of the people in Xiadu have gone in, why is there no one? !Where has everyone gone? !

After thinking about it, he suddenly felt cold, Taibai Jinxing hastily withdrew his consciousness from it, but unexpectedly his every move had already been discovered by the people in Taichung.Before he wanted to leave, a powerful force came from under the terrace in an instant, entangled his consciousness, and wanted to swallow it all.Taibai Jinxing knew that he was no match, so he split his consciousness into two without hesitation, and finally escaped from the balcony by dodging left and right.

A mouthful of blood spewed out, staining the plain brocade in front of him red. Taibai Jinxing never thought that he would be at a disadvantage after only meeting each other. Today's Xiadu has become a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, and he just chose such a good place as soon as he arrived in the mortal world. This place is really good luck!

The man sitting on the side also ran over immediately, supported Taibai Jinxing's swaying body and said, "My lord, what's the matter with you? But you suffered internal injuries during the pushing?"

Taibai Jinxing pushed away the man's hand, no longer concealed his mana, and directly pulled out the girl who was still playing happily in the brocade, threw it into the man's arms and said, "If you want to survive, get out of here quickly, what you say The Emperor Xia is probably no longer a human being, and if he stays here, no one will survive."
