Chapter 58: Atonement
Gu Xiaobai ran all the way to the outer city, and the direct benefit of most of the year's cultivation was the skyrocketing speed, and the effect of using the ability to accelerate the body was more obvious, and the staying power was longer.
At this time, the outer city was already in chaos, people stopped to look, the roar was still coming, the sound was getting more and more urgent, and it was getting more and more strange, people did not understand the situation, they could only stop in place, waiting for some news to come out.
Gu Xiaobai ran all the way into the inner city, the guards did not stop him, Sha Po had greeted the guards a long time ago, Gu Xiaobai belonged to the guests of the inner city, and he could enter and leave the inner city at any time, the interesting thing is that several guards at the door did not understand the situation, the roar was closer to them, and the stronger the sense of crisis arose, but they never gave up their posts, but kept looking back inside.
Soon, a large number of people gathered in front of the inner city gates, hoping that someone would give an answer, after all, such a cry came from the city where they lived, and no one could live in peace.
The layout in the inner city is intricate, plus Gu Xiaobai has not been here for a few days at all, so he quickly lost his way, and perhaps because of this shout, he couldn't even see half a figure in the courtyard, and it was obviously impossible to ask for directions, he had an idea, his body bowed, and the violent air flow began to condense under his feet.
Gu Xiaobai's body instantly jumped out and jumped more than ten meters directly, which can be regarded as one of the benefits of cultivation. In the air, he saw a crowd of people in the distance, and the people of the inner city seemed to be concentrated there, and further on, it was a cyan tower.
Gu Xiaobai's body flew up and down between the courtyard walls, since the success of lifting the pyramid, he found that he could use his ability to lift his body, although this was not strictly flying, but it allowed him to maintain a long time of super high jumping ability, and even glide for a short distance, now is the best time to use it.
With his feet on the ground, because the roar was deafening, the gathered crowd didn't notice Gu Xiaobai, he stood silently in the crowd, because the tower door was wide open, and he could see it clearly without approaching.
At this time, Sha Wentian, no, to be precise, the monster that was locked up, was being bound by the thick iron chain at the mouth of the bowl, but its body was constantly struggling violently, and the iron chain "rattled", and it seemed that it could break at any time, and Sha Po and her husband were standing in front of "it", and there was constantly sand gathering on the monster's body.
The monster was exactly the same as it had been before, with three tails, tiger-like lines, a yellow-brown body, eyes that constantly revealed a fierce light, and white smoke and saliva constantly dripping from the corners of its mouth, it longed for food and freedom.
The sand that went up its body was not the same as usual, it shimmered with a little golden light, and soon, the sand controlled its body, but it was still struggling hard, refusing to give up. Soon, something golden separated from the sand, and they slowly surrounded the chain, and soon the chain turned into a "gold chain", and the monster struggled much less.
"Ao!" followed by the most tricky scream, the two could not choose to close its mouth, after all, the body still belonged to their son, but if they did not stop this deafening roar, the whole Qiancheng would not be able to live in peace, and the people would be panicked.
The husband and wife began to worry, Sharijin's ability is like that of an iron chain, he can separate gold from various substances, which is why the Southern Regions are so rich, and Shapo's ability is to manipulate the sand, and the ability of both of them cannot guarantee the safety of Sha Wentian's life under the premise that the monster's mouth is sealed, which also makes the two at a loss.
"Who's coming?" the two guards in front of the tower were intently looking inside, so they realized that a tall young man was slowly approaching them.
When Mr. and Mrs. Sha Po heard the voice, they turned to look at it, and hurriedly motioned for the guards to let him in.
"I have a way, maybe I can help you. Gu Xiaobai said.
The two looked at each other and nodded silently, as long as they could eliminate the sound, otherwise the matter would no longer be hidden.
Gu Xiaobai raised his hands, and a basketball-sized airflow began to converge, and soon, it completely condensed into a transparent sphere, and the airflow inside the sphere was moving in a regular manner.
Gu Xiaobai pushed forward gently, and the sphere was fixed on the monster's mouth, but to Gu Xiaobai's expectation, the monster's voice still existed, but it was weakened a lot, thinking that he could clearly hear the roar in the mountains outside the city, and this result was logical, but now at least the propagation distance of the sound was greatly reduced, ensuring that the people in Qiancheng would no longer worry about it, and this had already achieved its goal.
The voice of "...... Ao" was no longer clear, and even the people standing in front of the tower could only faintly hear it, obviously Gu Xiaobai's method was very effective.
"Thank you, you helped us a lot. Sha Lijin's eyes looked at Gu Xiaobai sincerely.
"Uncle Sha, you don't have to thank me. ”
Soon, the crowd in front of the tower dispersed, the tower door closed again, and the husband and wife stood in front of the tower, silently staring at the strange murals on the tower.
"If this goes on like this, isn't there any other solution?" Gu Xiaobai couldn't help but ask.
Sha Po said helplessly: "I won't tell you, for most of the year I disappeared, I was looking for a way, but unfortunately, it was my old woman who was incapable. ”
Gu Xiaobai was shocked in his heart, what made a person with an ability like Sha Po feel powerless? Needless to say, he also knew that the monster was not simple.
"As a parent, you can only watch your child suffer...... "Sharikin's body trembled, this father who has gone through vicissitudes has enviable abilities, but at this time he is helpless like a child.
"Then I'll step back first. Gu Xiaobai felt the tense atmosphere, there was nothing the two of them could do, of course he couldn't help much, it was better to leave first.
The housekeeper who greeted him at the city gate earlier arranged a place for Gu Xiaobai to live, and spent the night like this.
The next day, Gu Xiaobai planned to say goodbye to Sha Po, because Long Zhanqian only gave him a two-year time limit at the beginning, and now more than half a year has passed, and his ability level has not been improved, and it is impossible to raise his level in this isolated place, he must first leave the Western Desert and return to the civilized world.
As soon as he walked into the main hall, Gu Xiaobai heard a panting sound, and the guard ran out of breath and fell to the ground with a "plop".
"Lord Domain, the border guards have come to report that there is a huge crack in the sealing wall, and the crack has been expanding, if this continues, the entire sealing wall may collapse!"
Everyone in the main hall was stunned in place, the wall had been standing for so long, and there had never been the slightest change, plus there was a guardian of the wall guarding there, repairing the broken wall in time, how could there be such a situation?
Gu Xiaobai clearly saw that there was a light in the eyes of the Shalijin couple.
"Everyone quickly prepares and sets off for the wall immediately, making sure to arrive as soon as possible. Sharikin spoke, and there was a hint of excitement in his tone, a hint of excitement after seeing hope.
"What about the Northern Regions?"
"Lord Hui Domain, I have already sent people to the Northern Domain Lord's Mansion, and I believe they will also leave immediately. ”
"Very good, everyone starts to prepare, the guards are assembled, and we will leave today!"
The whole inner city was in chaos, dozens of carriages stopped at the city gates, and a large number of items were loaded onto the carriages.
In front of the Soul Suppression Tower, with the efforts of more than a dozen guards, the monster was stuffed into the carriage, the thick golden chain firmly restrained him, and the huge weight almost overturned the carriage, and everyone hurriedly added a few more horses in front.
It took less than two hours for the convoy to set off, and when Sha Po asked Gu Xiaobai if he wanted to go with him, the first thing that came to his mind was Li Wangke's face, this kid gave the fruit to himself when picking the fruit of the Divine Tree, I don't know how it is now, he gritted his teeth and decided to put the plan to leave on hold for the time being, and went to the sealing wall with the convoy.
Sitting in the carriage, Gu Xiaobai could feel that Sha Wentian was among the dozens of carriages, although he didn't know why Shalijin and his wife wanted to take him, but they thought that the monster should be related to the wall.
There were only two people in the wide carriage where Sharikin and Shapo were sitting, and they each looked out the window on one side, as husband and wife, the two had not spoken well for a long time.
"What are you going to do?" Sharijin began.
Sha Po didn't speak, but her eyes were full of determination.
"You don't really want to ......" Sharikin's mouth opened wide with an expression of disbelief.
"This is the last hope. Shapha muttered.
"Don't forget, how are you going to end up letting that guy out, and how much did it cost us to keep it sealed!"
"If I can help Wentian, that's all I can do. ”
"That young man surnamed Gu is that person's grandson, right?"
Sha Po was a little shocked and turned her head to look at her husband.
"He doesn't have the surname Li at all, I can still find out this, and he is an outsider who came in from outside the desert, and your attitude towards him says more about his identity, and you only need to speculate a little to know that he is the grandson of that man. ”
"So what? what do you want to say?" the expression on Shava's face turned indifferent.
"I want you to know that he is in the past tense, I don't care anymore, I am very happy that you can accompany me in this ghost place, my last wish is only to ask the sky, but we still have to keep our sanity, why do we stay here? You know this better than me, if we really release it, won't our efforts for many years be in vain?"
Sha Po looked sideways out the window, where the wall still stood in the distance.
"I've lived for others all my life, never once for myself, I even sacrificed my own children because of that belief, if I continue like this, what is left of my life?"
Sharykin did not speak, and the atmosphere was extremely cold.
"At least this time, let me live for myself, let me atone for my sins. ”
