Chapter 366: The Waterside of the Jinjiang River (1)
With Xu Guan's assistance, the crisis in Chang'an City was finally resolved.
The two veterans had a conversation with Xu Guan standing on the gilded bell tower, and they already knew what happened to each of them after the separation of the imperial capital.
After the three of them finished chatting, they looked around a few times at Chang'an, which had become a city of dead corpses, and their faces couldn't help but swell with sadness again.
"The people in Chang'an City are suffering. Feng Chen let out a long sigh.
"These corpses must be disposed of quickly, otherwise once they decompose, bacteria will breed, and I am afraid that another wave of plague will be set off. Although the Celestial Master also sighed, he was more rational.
Xu Guan smelled a strong smell of blood in his nose, and in the places where there were many dead people in the city, the blood flowing out of the street was almost up to the top of his feet, and the blood was flowing like a veritable river. Even in ancient battlefields, there were not many wars that could kill 300,000 people in a single battle.
"Bury it on the spot. Xu Guan's feet floated up, people were in mid-air, overlooking this Chang'an City, selected the Bahe River in the east of the city, pinched out a technique with one hand, and spit out the 'Kun word formula, move mountains' in his mouth, and the earth shook violently with a bang, as if it was an earthquake, and the Bahe River suddenly cut off from the middle, cracking a huge bottomless rift.
The infantry figurines who had thrown themselves into the river before were also revealed, and they were planted into the rift valley with the surging water.
"Throw the corpse into the rift. Xu Guan said.
Feng Chen and the Old Heavenly Master also saw the rift outside the city that cut off the Bahe River, and they both nodded, hiding deep underground is indeed a good way to stop the plague bacteria from breeding the plague.
"Just. Xu Guan looked embarrassed: "Yu was originally going to Jinguan City, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to stay here and bury the body with the two." โ
"What is Monk Xu Guan doing in Jinguan City?" Feng Chen's face was puzzled, and at the same time worried: "This old thief who manipulated the dead corpse came to Chang'an City to make trouble in order to cover the people of the Lich Clan in the Little Cave Heaven to attack the inn. At this time, if you go to Jinguan City, I am afraid that you will collide with that large number of lich people. โ
"yes. There are many warriors in the Lich Clan, and they are as skilled as a cloud, and the leaders of the Lich Clan, Wu Ji and Nanshan Stubborn Stone, are rare masters in the world. Even if you have now entered the realm of heaven and man, if you face those demons alone, you may not be able to take advantage of the light. The Heavenly Master also discouraged.
"I understand all of this, but there is always a reason why I have to go. Xu Guan looked solemn and said, "No matter what, even if you are in the Jinguan City, you have to stop this war." โ
"Xu Guan Jushi. The two old Taoists looked at Xu Guan at the same time: "In that case, why don't we wait for the two of us to dispose of the bodies of these innocent people, and then let's go to Jinguan City together." Although the strength of the two of us is far inferior to that of you now, we can help somewhat. โ
"You need to take a big risk to go to Jinguan City. Yu is not absolutely sure. But if it can't be done, I think I can still run for my life. Xu Guan hesitated a little, and vaguely expressed his meaning in the second half of the sentence: "The two Dao Masters have consumed a lot of True Qi in the battle here, and their strength has been greatly reduced. It is really not advisable to make another dangerous situation, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect myself before the current situation is completed. โ
This statement is quite reasonable, not to mention that these two old Taoists are lacking in true qi at the moment, even if they rush into the master Lich clan in their heyday, they may not be able to retire. Xu Guan went with a suicidal mentality, if this matter is not successful, the big deal is death. According to his temperament, it is naturally impossible to drag others to die.
When the two old Taoists heard Xu Guan say this, they had no choice but to give up.
Xu Guan said goodbye to the two of them and left, and the Heavenly Master and Feng Chen stayed in Chang'an City to clean up the aftermath.
The terracotta warriors and horses that Feng Chen had received from Qin Shi Huang came in handy again, and he issued another order through the spirit banner to transport the corpses from the city to the Bahe River in the east of the city and throw them into the rift valley.
The terracotta warriors and horses were all mobilized, some of the crossbowmen carried the corpses on their backs, and some dragged one corpse on the ground with each hand, while the infantry were two figurines who strung three or four corpses with spears in their hands like a string of sugar gourds and carried them away; the cavalry figurines carried two corpses on horseback, and two more bodies could be dragged behind the horse's buttocks.
The most handy of these people should be the figurines who rode chariots, and when they fought before, their chariots were too wide and too inconvenient to fight. But it would have been more convenient to pick up the corpses at this timeโthere were enough for seven or eight corpses to fit on a chariot, and the figurines had whipped and mounted the wagons to rumble towards the east of the city.
The sky at the eastern end is about to light up and a new day begins.
The battle of Chang'an Castle was over, but the war in Kyushu was about to begin.
Xu Guan hurriedly urged the wind control technique, and after the sun rose, he arrived at Jinguan City.
Above the city, he saw the chaos in the city - countless houses collapsed, chaos in the city, the whole Jinguan City was empty, there was no one, the snow on the streets had melted, all covered with a thick layer of mud and dust, the wind-blown garbage was piled up all over the streets, and the abandoned vehicles were parked on the road.
"It seems that the battlefield here is also very fierce. Thinking like this, Xu Guan saw the Jinjiang River winding in the city.
"I've never been here before, but I've only heard that Xiaodongtian is hidden under the Jinjiang River, but I don't know where the entrance to Xiaodongtian is such a long Jinjiang River. He thought about it for a long time and couldn't find a way, so he had to look all the way along the Jinjiang River, hoping to find some clues.
The current of the Jinjiang River is still gentle, and the battle of the previous days does not seem to have affected the current, and even the red blood that flowed into the Jinjiang River at that time has long been washed away by the flowing water, and there is not even the smell of blood left.
He was looking along the Geumjiang River when he suddenly saw a strange man on the shore of the water below, who seemed to be standing facing Geumjiang River, but there was a large bulge on his shoulder, like a tumor.
Xu Guan sighed lightly, the entire Jinguan City was empty, how could there be people here? And it was standing by the Jinjiang River, could it be that he was the gatekeeper of the Lich Clan?
He fell abruptly towards the man standing at the water's edge, and when he stood in front of the man, he realized that the man did not have a large tumor on his shoulder, but a person who was resisted by him on the shoulder.
The person standing is naturally Wushuang, and on his shoulder, it is natural to take him back to the inn, but Jiang Li, who was tied back by him, at this time, this aggrieved iron guard was hanging his head and falling asleep.
In the past two days, day and night, Wushuang has not moved at all, standing here with Jiang Li on his shoulders, staring at the surface of the Jinjiang River with his eyes fixed, ready to kill the people who jumped up from the water at any time.
He turned his head and saw a person falling from the sky, looked up and down, and saw what the other party was wearing - Xu Guan's original clothes were destroyed as early as when the imperial capital was fighting, and when he arrived at the tribe surnamed Wu, Wu Yan asked Wu Suomu to change him into a new dress, but time was in a hurry, and he didn't have time to make Central Plains style clothes, so he wore a very grassland style embroidered green robe.
"It's so strange to dress. Wushuang underestimated it, forgiving him for being too little knowledgeable, he really didn't understand that this dress was the clothing of the nomads of the northern steppe: "Ordinary people definitely don't wear it like this, it's definitely a member of the Lich Clan." I saw a little girl with two thin old men coming down from the sky and plunging into the water, but I didn't bother to stop it, but now this person fell next to him and didn't drill into the water. This is not the right providence to help me avenge the old coward!"
"Who are you two?" Xu Guan saw Wushuang looking at himself vigilantly, and he was even more sure that the other party was the gatekeeper left here by the Lich Clan.
"I'm going to ask you more!" Wushuang shouted, and Jiang Li, who was sleeping on his shoulder, suddenly shuddered, and woke up in fright. After waking up, he looked left at Xu Guan, who was standing five steps away, and then turned back to the right to look at Wushuang with a flushed face: "Who is he?"
"People of the Lich Clan!" Wushuang snorted again, his shoulder shook, and with a wave of his big hand, he directly threw Jiang Li out as a weapon!
