Chapter 315: Troubled Times
“Troubled Times…”
Tao Yu sighed and entered Yangzhou City wearing a straw hat. He saw that all the people in the city were in a hurry and the candy sellers had sad faces.
However, you can see that a teahouse near the city gate is still almost full of people, and I heard the story told by Mr. Shu there.
From the previous words of the two suspected gang members, we can know that there have been "living dead" incidents in Yangzhou City.
It's just that every time there are only sporadic cases, they are still successfully extinguished.
Moreover, in such troubled times, the impact and fear of the living dead on ordinary people does not seem to be as exaggerated as imagined.
"If we follow the model of the zombie world and find the water source in Yangzhou to spread, then many viruses have already entered the human body. However, the Tang Dynasty world is indeed more active. Perhaps this method of infection will be suppressed as much as possible, and Or, there will be some kind of awakening ceremony..."
Tao Yu sighed a little. The transmission mode of zombie bites was actually just average.
The reason why Jack and his world fell was mainly due to the explosion in many places at the same time. They did not give them a chance to extinguish the flames and quickly decayed.
But now looking at the situation in Datang, it seems that it only appears sporadically.
I just don’t know if it’s because of the suppression of the Tang Dynasty that only some old, weak, sick and disabled people were infected through water sources in the early stage, or if the Luck Stealers Alliance has some way to activate it, but it hasn’t officially started yet, or it’s both.
"I still need to ask these local snakes from the Yingui Sect..."
Based on the Yangzhou stronghold address left by the Yingui Sect, Tao Yu first found the most famous brothel in Yangzhou, and then found the Zhuhong Courtyard diagonally opposite with three lanterns hanging on it and knocked on the door.
Three heavy and two light knocks three times in a row.
Not long after, a young man in green clothes opened the small door and looked at Tao Yu with a scrutinizing gaze.
But Tao Yu just raised the hat slightly, revealing a pair of bright eyes.
The next moment, the young man in green clothes had a look of confusion on his face.
Then put Tao Yu in.
When Tao Yu came in, the young man in green clothes closed the door and was agitated. He didn't know how he let him in just now. This made him confused for a while. He hadn't read the code yet!
"Wen Caiting, come out."
Tao Yu's voice was not loud, but the concentrated sound was transmitted directly into the room. It didn't take long for the elder of the Yingui Sect, Wen Caiting, to lead Bai Qing'er out with graceful steps
"Master Tao is really "Hurry up, I'm waiting for you in the room."
"Have you brought what I asked for?"
"They are all here. Mr. Tao can choose slowly. Qing'er and I will answer the questions carefully for him."
Wen Caiting said with charming eyes, her whole body exuding a mature and charming aura.
But Bai Qing'er next to her had a slightly red face, with a hint of charm in her innocence.
Wen Caiting's charming voice is breathtaking, coupled with her soul-stirring eyes, she is indeed a demon witch.
This made the young man in Tsing Yi who opened the door seem to have fallen into an illusion again.
"What is the situation of those living dead now, what is the current news, and what actions is Shi Shaojian taking?"
Tao Yu didn't care what Wen Caiting said and asked casually.
"In fact, things about the living dead have been scattered for a long time. They first appeared from Xiangxi, but it is not a big deal in these troubled times. It's just that some people have heard that zombies are infested..."
Wen Caiting smoothed her hip-length hair and slowly told some recent information.
In fact, the current rumors and dangers of the living dead are just that much to this Sui Dynasty!
It is far less harmful than the damage caused by famine and military disasters.
Although there were villages near Yangzhou where the whole village was infected, and even a similar phenomenon occurred in Yangzhou city, it only caused a little panic.
Compared with the threat posed by the living dead, more people are still thinking about what to eat today...
"...but now the rumors about the living dead are all said to be brought by the two extraterrestrial demons Mr. Tao and Zhenren Zhang. They are even calling for the formation of a crusade alliance in order to push out the 'Heavenly Sword' Song Que. And now, although He's Bi is gone, the chosen leader of the world seems to be vaguely pointing to the Song clan..."
During the time Tao Yu was in seclusion in Xiaogu, a lot of things really happened in the world.
First of all, it goes without saying that their bad reputation has become even worse. However, the news that He Shibi was missing because of the trouble caused by the Yingui Sect can no longer be suppressed.
But because Li Shimin was accepted as a disciple by Bi Xuan, Li Mi was indifferent, and the top leaders of the Dugu Clan were in trouble, and the right path was in urgent need of masters, it seemed that the Song Clan was finally chosen. In the past, it was felt that the Song Clan had the ‘Heavenly Sword’ and Song Que was difficult to control, but now it was almost impossible to defeat them. They had to unite all the forces that could be united, so it seemed natural to choose the Song Clan.
In addition, the Li clan is not resting either. Although there is no support from Buddhism, Bi Xuan and the Turks are not ambiguous. Now they have helped the Li clan stabilize Chang'an!
And because of the defeat of Li Mi and the Dugu Clan, the Li Clan had almost no opponents in the north, and the front line of the army was unobstructed and they could fall in the wind.
Moreover, Li Clan also released the news that he had obtained Yang Gong's treasure house buried in Chang'an, and the limelight was also very strong for a while.
Especially after Li Mi's death, Wang Shichong carried out a random killing spree, which caused many elites and generals under Li Mi to defect to the Li clan, which further expanded the Li clan's strength.
Now there is a vague trend of North-South confrontation.
However, in addition to the Li clan and the Song clan, there are also separatist forces such as Du Fuwei of Jianghuai and Wang Shichong of Luoyang, maintaining a balance.
This is actually the case for Li Zitong from Yangzhou.
For the time being, Li Clan and Song Clan are not completely at odds yet.
"Did Song Que take action himself?"
Tao Yu was a little curious. If Buddhism fully supported the Song clan, Song Que would not dislike it.
After Bixuan accepted Li Shimin as his disciple, Song Que would never tolerate the Li clan taking over the world.
"Not yet. Xie Hui from Bashu is more active now. Shi Shaojian is indeed inquiring about Shi Zhixuan, and has also found Anlong. The sect master suspects that these living dead are all a trick created by Shi Shaojian to distract him. Worried that things might change, I have already gone to Bashu."
Hearing Caiting's words, Tao Yu also felt a little frowned.
It would indeed be a bit troublesome if Shi Zhixuan got involved with the people from the Luck Stealers Alliance.
He is already very strong. If he finds a new channel for improvement, he may not be able to solve his mental problems.
Anlong has the title of 'Fat Jia of Sichuan and Chongqing', and is also the brother of Xie Hui, the 'Wulin Judge' of Duzunbao.
And since Xie Hui and Song Que were related to each other, Duzunbao could almost be regarded as a separatist force in the Sichuan and Chongqing areas, with extremely strong influence.
According to rumors in the world, Xie Hui is said to be not inferior to Song Que in strength.
This shows its fame!
“Instead of passively looking for them, it’s better for us to take the initiative to bring them together.”
Tao Yu closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "It's up to you to take the initiative to release the wind. The demon from outside the territory, Tao Yu, the Holy Son of Yin Gui, will soon take the two dragons to Chang'an to retrieve the treasure. As for the route..."
Tao Yu smiled
"We will go upstream along the Yangtze River, entering Shu first, and then leaving Chang'an..."
The road to Shu is difficult, but after many years of development in Shu, it has become an area extremely rich in materials. Yangzhou ranks first in trade, and Bashu ranks second!
The main thing we rely on is the Yangtze River. You can swim upstream openly. The route has been clearly marked for you. It depends on whether you come or not!
"Master Tao is courageous. When the time comes, you will not only face Shi Zhixuan."
Wen Caiting's beautiful eyes shone, and Bai Qing'er next to her also showed an admiring look.
Not to mention, even though I know they are pretending, it is still somewhat useful.
"This is the effect we want. I don't have time to solve them one by one."
"But even if we launch the news, it will take time to spread it. During this time, the young master can study the supreme magic with us."
Wen Caiting spoke softly, and stepped forward to hold Tao Yu's arm between her arms, as if she wanted to use her strength to take Tao Yu into the house.
But the next moment he was shocked by Tao Yu
"I don't have time, I have to go back, just give me the new secret technique, I will choose it myself..."
At this time, Bai Qing'er plucked up the courage and whispered, "Actually, my holy sect has a secret method. Even if Mr. Tao has something to hide, they can extend your time and ensure that you can enjoy the beauty..."
Tao Yu was originally going to take the things and leave, but her face turned a little dark when she heard this.
I don’t want these things because I am weak! It’s just that the opponent is too strong!
What has happened to this?
“I don’t know whether to live or die, but today I want you witches to know how powerful I am!”
