Chapter 92 A gust of fragrant wind changed the day (5000 words)
Zuo Chen saw the plaque dissipating in the wind, and his mind moved slightly. He stretched out his sleeves and looked forward. The remaining half of the plaque was directly It flew towards his palm.
After it fell into the palm of my hand, I injected some spiritual energy into it, and the little bits of fluorescence that overflowed around the plaque finally stopped.
Looking at the palm of my hand again, there was only a small wooden sign left, as if it had been reduced in size and turned into a token.
Engraved on it are the two characters Tianmen.
The word "nan" has disappeared.
He stretched out his hand and weighed it. There was no trace of red Qi on the wooden sign that made him unhappy, but there was no spiritual Qi that fit the status of the wooden sign. No matter how it felt, it was just an ordinary wooden carving. Nothing unusual can be seen.
But once he thought about the origin of this thing, Zuo Chen felt that he had to keep it.
What if it comes in use in the future?
It's a pity that this wooden sign doesn't have the magic trick that the red Taoist used when escaping before. Otherwise, Zuo Chen would just throw the sign into the sky and dive into the long tunnel. He never knew what would happen next. Will return to the monk's village.
After taking this object, Zuo Chen's heart also echoed the words of the red Taoist just now.
The great waves of the sea of suffering in the far north, the countless sects and sects in the sea of suffering, and the weird "way of heaven" that will produce merit by doing good deeds, and will also produce merit by destroying the eternal world.
I was thinking that my next stop would be to change direction and go to Kyoto to find clues to the capital. Now it seems that I still have to go north to find the gatekeeper.
Of course, Zuo Chen can't rush north like a "gulp". Not to mention whether he can find the gatekeeper by rushing directly, this method of running in a straight line for the goal is not very beneficial to him. Practice.
The benefits of traveling for all sentient beings in this mortal world are still unknown, but if Zuo Chen's Taoist mind is smooth by moving forward like this, it is good.
Make sure the time is right, don't be too slow, which will delay important events, and don't be too hasty, which will harm the Tao.
After making a good judgment, he took up his spiritual energy and flew up. In an instant, he left a white mark in the air, indicating that he had flown out of Niujin Mountain.
When he reached the sky above Luoshan City, Zuo Chen stopped for a moment and looked down at the ground.
He saw the ghosts cheering and dancing around the little peach tree, while the peach tree was at a loss in the middle. He didn't know whether it was better to tremble or wave the branches together.
Seeing that there was no problem, Zuo Chen nodded, floated up, and flew towards the distance.
After Zuo Chen left, the little peach tree lifted its branches and looked into the air.
But there is nothing there anymore.
Flying in the air, Zuo Chen also stretched out his hand to do some calculations.
After the breakthrough, my speed has also improved. In this state, it only takes one day to return to the monk's village.
Calculating the time, it has taken four days since I came out. If it takes another day, there should be nothing major.
Well, nothing big should happen.
……
There are still half-dead people everywhere in Xuzhou begging for life, and the sound of wailing can be heard everywhere.
In one village, the food had been exhausted, and only a few remaining families gathered together.
There was a woman holding a child. The child was also hungry and thin, and even seemed to have no strength to cry.
Beside, a wizened man staggered up to the woman. He was holding a knife in his left hand and a small baby in his right hand, which seemed to be barely able to walk.
He walked up to the woman.
"Poor Xu, don't hold your baby anymore."
The man lowered his head and looked at the woman. The woman didn't answer, but held the child tighter.
"You are not willing to kill your child, and I am not willing to kill my child. How about we switch?" The man's voice was hoarse, and the human voice could no longer be heard: "This is the way to go. Got it.”
The woman was silent and still didn't move.
"Poor Xu, if the person is still alive, the child can be reborn." The man also lowered his head and looked at the doll in his hand.
The baby raised his head and looked at the man, his eyes were very clean.
I just opened my mouth and said:
"Dad, I'm hungry."
The man's lips were touching up and down, they were pale and bloodless, and he could no longer hold the knife in his hand.
He wanted to bend down and hug his cub, but found that he didn't even have the strength to bend down.
Suddenly, the man felt something flash across the sky. When he looked up, he saw a white mark.
Split the sky in two.
It seemed like someone flew over right above his head.
Before he could react, a strong fragrant wind blew in his face.
Looking down,
under my feet there were already tender grasses breaking through the ground and branches growing in clusters.
The shadow of the Taoist passed through the air. Wherever he walked, dead trees sprouted new buds, dry springs came back to life, and patches of dead forest were dyed with new green. No matter where he walked, Wherever Xuzhou lives.
Looking from the air, it looks like a green wave, driving away the deep-rooted wilderness.
...
Xuzhou City is not just a single city surrounded by high stone walls. There are several towns beside this huge city, and several towns are surrounded by several villages. These villages may be They raise horses or cattle, or they cultivate a special piece of black land.
In these black soils, deep pits were dug in the four corners of the land, east, west, north and south, and four skinned sheep were stuffed in each. They were dug in with stone pillars, and then a few "Master prepared specially" were posted on them. "The talisman", this piece of land can grow food, and the harvest will be greater than that of the same area of land.
This is a temporary food output.
After all, food cannot be consumed entirely in the city. The food is indeed enough to eat, but some food will become stale and unpalatable if left for a long time.
The old and unpalatable millet can be given to farmers who farm outside, or to the craftsmen who raise cattle, horses, weave cloth and forge iron in the town, but it cannot be used by the nobles in Prince Kang's palace.
Noble people must eat fresh, high-quality, tender and good things.
In this way, whether it is farming or animal husbandry, it is an indispensable part.
Next to a field, an old farmer who had just planted seeds straightened up, wiped his forehead with his hand, looked at the black soil in front of him, and then looked up at a large area in the distance. shortage.
But the joy of farming could not grow in his heart.
Originally, it should be a refreshing thing to see seeds planted on the ground, see young shoots growing under the wind and sun, and finally mature into golden color and blow in the wind. But since joining King Kang's side, even the fresh wheat grown would be harvested by King Kang's men, and eventually a handful of old rice would be given to them in exchange.
The village is desolate in all directions. Living here can’t see any green mountains or green water. How can farmers like them be in a good mood!
This old man is especially unlucky. His son and daughter were outside when they were captured by King Kang, and they were unable to come to Xuzhou City together. Now they are missing, and they are likely to starve to death.
Only one of his grandsons came here with him, and he was also in the bungalow.
For the sake of his grandson, he has to make more efforts and follow King Kang.
In this way, his grandson can survive.
That’s good.
"Old man! What are you doing? Don't stand here! Work quickly!"
Suddenly, an unpleasant scolding came from the old man's side, and the old man shrank his head and turned his head. Looking, I saw a sharp-tongued man standing next to him, full of acrimony.
This is a man who guards farmers in the city. He has no official position, but he has a good mouth. As long as anyone in the surrounding villages does not manage their business well, he will go directly to the city to complain.
Then the soldiers will come.
The old man could only smile, nodded and bowed to him, then immediately bent down and continued working without any delay.
Seeing him like this, the man cursed and walked along the village path: "I am getting used to you day by day. Your Highness, Prince Kang, kindly takes you in and gives you a mouthful of food. Are you still lazy here? Just rush outside! You just need to eat enough to hold on!"
A little anger arose in the old man's heart, but he suppressed it immediately. He could only smile bitterly and could not say a word.
Indeed, this is the only place where you can have enough food.
As he was working with his head buried in his head, he suddenly felt a breeze blowing from the distance. For a moment, the old man felt much relaxed all over his body.
Looking at the ground again, I suddenly found that the newly planted seeds had sprouted and were still growing rapidly!
Looking up blankly, the grass and trees are blooming again, and the dead trees are blooming.
The desolation of the mountains disappeared, and the redness of the ground disappeared. On the long-dried riverbed in the distance, rolling water came from the east and went to the west.
The old man was stunned.
This is the Xuzhou in his memory.
It was Xuzhou where he lived for fifty years.
It was Xuzhou that gave birth to him and raised him.
This is not the Xuzhou that was devastated and had countless deaths.
His heart has long returned to his own village far away, where he has his children, his own house, and everything in his life.
You should take your grandson away and never come to this ghost place like Xuzhou City again.
It seems that he is not the only one who thinks so. Not far away, there is a single-family farmer with almost all the family members dead. After seeing such a big change in Xuzhou, they even stopped farming. , put down the hoe and ran outside.
When the sharp-tongued man saw this scene, he screamed: "Hey! Where are you running! Come back quickly! Damn it! Believe it or not, I will call the soldiers to kill him... ah!"
Having just finished speaking, the man was suddenly hit on the back of the head by a black shadow, and immediately fell to the ground, covering his head and screaming.
And standing behind him were several farmers in the field on the other side!
"Damn it. My son is starving to death. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't survive outside Xuzhou, I would have thought that I would be willing to work here!" The farmer who hit the man had blood-red eyes, "Brothers! Xuzhou is not deserted! It must be that the gods can't see it. I'm used to what that bitch did, so I used my magic power! Let's kill this bastard, take the things, and leave quickly!" He raised his hoe high, pointed it down, and screamed. They gathered around the man, holding farming tools, as if venting their anger.
The old man did not get involved in this matter. He just rushed to the small house he was assigned to, carried his young grandson on his back, and left the house.
The grandson just woke up and asked in a childish voice:
"Grandpa, where are we going?"
The old man tilted his head slightly, and just when he was about to speak, tears fell down.
I can only read two words from my mouth:
"Go home."
......
In Xuzhou City, there are still people on the streets. There are few pedestrians, but many people showing off their skills are missing.
Most of the people walking on the street covered their faces and quickly entered from one house to another. They were in a hurry and didn't want to stay on the street for a long time.
Even if there are a few people walking on the street occasionally, they all take long steps, three steps and two steps at a time, with a very clear purpose. When they get to where they want to go or when they return home, they Never go out again.
The main reason why things turned out like this was because the cavalry returned from defeat some time ago, and some rumors spread from the corners, alleys and alleyways of Xuzhou City.
Some people say that they were a group of gods who came out of Xuzhou. They couldn't bear to see Xuzhou become like this, so they prescribed a prescription to cure Xuzhou's disease.
Some people say that the refugees couldn't bear the suffering, so they found swords, guns, swords and halberds from nowhere, proclaimed themselves king, and planned to attack and kill King Kang.
Some people say that those people outside are hungry and have become giant demons. They are invulnerable and only eat flesh and blood. If they enter the city, they will kill everyone!
But no matter what kind of rumor it is, everyone in the city has seen the consequences.
The most powerful cavalryman under King Kang was beaten to pieces.
The three of them were like tigers, and the wind blew louder and louder. It not only blew into the homes of ordinary people, but also into the residence of Prince Kang.
After hearing this, King Kang became furious and killed a boy who was delivering food on the spot. He held up a bloody sword and told the guests to quickly find a way to suppress the news.
"If you can't handle it! Then tie your heads to the back of your own carriage, and your groom will take you for a ride outside the city! See if you can survive!"
End of the curse! King Kang then withdrew, and the guests also had a headache. They knew very well that if this matter was not handled properly, they would really be hung on the carriage and strangled to death!
But I didn’t know what kind of lie to make up to suppress the rumors in the city. I thought about it for so long that my hair almost fell out.
Many of the disciples who came with the master gritted their teeth, hating the disaster and the weird village that appeared out of thin air.
But there is no choice but to gather together for a meeting to discuss how to deal with this difficult problem.
However, before they could discuss the reason, the boy who reported the news hurriedly rushed into Prince Kang's mansion, peeing and saying:
"Master! Something happened! Something big happened!
"A demonic wind blew outside the city, and all the vegetation and trees grew! Now people in the city say that the gods used their magical powers to reawaken the Xuzhou God! "
"What? ! ”
King Kang’s retainers were stunned when they heard this, and a large group of people hurriedly squeezed out of the mansion.
From this gate, as soon as I came out, I found that the street outside was already in chaos.
The jugglers, the snack sellers, the storytellers, the walkers, the pretty ones, and the ones that King Kang likes all no longer continue to be puppets held up by strings on both sides of the street, but all come together. I ran to the edge of the city, so close that I could see the high platforms, plank roads, and rooftops outside the city. I looked out at them all.
The soldiers on the edge of the city stopped these ordinary people who suddenly seemed possessed by a demon. However, their own attention was also attracted by the wonderful scenery outside the city. While stopping them, they tilted their heads and kept talking. I can’t help but sigh!
Everything springs and the earth turns green. People always like vibrant scenes. This is engraved in their bones. Especially after staring at a barren area for a long time, the flowers and grass that suddenly bloom will be more attractive. Attention.
This is something that even soldiers who are loyal to King Kang cannot avoid.
The retainers and counselors who hurriedly chased out were also shocked by the new green scene outside the city. Looking around, Xuzhou seemed to have returned to its previous appearance. Suddenly, he felt a light itch on his feet. When he lowered his head, he found bluestone bricks. A few thin blades of grass sprouted from the gap, scratching the ankles.
The face of a customer who reacted quickly changed suddenly. He took a few steps back, his feet were unsteady, and he sat down directly on the bluestone.
"It's over...it's over..."
He murmured, but his body was trembling slightly.
Xuzhou changed back to its original appearance. Outsiders may not know what happened and thought it was the immortal master who did it, but some people who followed the master know it clearly.
This is the wilderness of death!
Who can kill Dahuang? !
The master said that even if the capital came, he might not be able to do this!
No one around noticed this guest, leaving him sitting blankly among the chaotic crowd.
The situation in Xuzhou City is getting more and more chaotic, and it is already difficult to control.
In the courtyard of Prince Kang's Mansion, Mr. Sun walked out of the mansion's gate, stood in front of the tall mansion gate, and looked forward along the main street.
He could see the lively crowd and the heat radiating from their bodies.
"Master, you have been calculating for so long, but you have simply forgotten that there are indeed people in this world who can cure the famine."
Old Sun sighed.
He just felt it was a pity.
The master's plan this time should have allowed King Kang to obtain another evil ghost army and have the ability to compete for the world. However, he missed a move and made mistakes every step of the way.
Mr. Sun knew that it was time to make a retreat plan.
This Xuzhou can no longer be defended.
In a corner of Xuzhou City, on the edge of a rarely visited area, there is a teahouse. Some soldiers are sitting in the teahouse, chatting about the recently discovered village.
The coach was also among them, drinking tea by himself and not mixing with them.
Suddenly I heard a commotion outside, and I was confused. I stood up and leaned against the wooden railing, looking outside.
It took my breath away.
Since the famine broke out, the sky over Xuzhou City has always been cloudy, making people feel uncomfortable. However, at this moment, the sky is clear, the sun is shining brightly, and the stench is no longer felt in the spring breeze. Just some refreshing spring smell.
"This? What's going on?"
"Who did it? What kind of magical power is this? Can it change the sky in Xuzhou all at once?"
"The art of moving stars and changing the moon? I have only seen the introduction in the Capital Master's Book of Wonderful Techniques. Is it possible that this art really exists?"
The instructor did not participate in the discussion of the generals next to him. He just looked at it. Staring out the window, looking at the resurgent life.
“Opportunity!”
Two big words appeared in his heart!
……
When this gust of wind blew through the monk's village, the vegetation began to grow.
When the wind fell on the newly planted grain, the seeds that had been planted not long ago all swelled up and became ripe in the blink of an eye.
Several farmers working in the fields screamed "Oh my god", which then turned into overjoyed cheers.
Everyone who was having a meeting in the big house just now was shocked by the cheers and walked out of the house. When they saw the scene outside, they couldn't help but take a breath of air.
Originally, it was a great trick for the monk to open up a blessed land by relying on the golden light of merit, but this fragrant wind regenerated Xuzhou, and it was like taking away the good fortune of heaven and earth.
"This seems to be Xuzhou's original aura!" The monk twitched his nose.
He didn’t know how he felt it, he just felt that everything around him should be what Xuzhou originally looked like.
"It seems that the Taoist Master has killed that evil spirit!"
Caiyi was also happy in her heart and suddenly felt relaxed.
Xiao Changcheng looked at the revitalized Xuzhou in front of him, but suddenly felt a little sad in his heart.
He grabbed the clothes on his chest and murmured to himself:
"Mom, have you seen..."
After adjusting for a few moments, Xiao Changcheng suddenly turned around and looked at the young man next to him. The young man said:
"Find more young and vigorous people who have practiced the postures and come over. I have something to announce!"
The young man seemed to have noticed something and pulled his legs apart. , quickly ran towards the village.
Soon, groups of young people gathered in the center of the village.
Xiao Changcheng specially found a higher stake and stood on it so that everyone could see him.
He looked around.
Most of them are dealers. Their clothes are dirty, their fingernails are dirty, their faces are dirty, and not many of them can hold weapons.
Despite this, their eyes still seemed to be burning with fire.
It was beating, as if it was about to turn into a fire that could burn the entire world.
"Who wants to go with me? Enter Xuzhou City and kill King Kang!"
Xiao Changcheng asked loudly.
“Me!”
“Take me with you!”
"Mother Xipi, kill that son of a bitch!"
I heard the response from the sea of people below.
