Chapter 146: Mandate of Heaven
Three days ago.
It's an ordinary day.
There is a large pile of meat in the pot of the braised meat stall, the firewood below is waving flames, the center of the pot is constantly bubbling, but the surrounding area is condensed with gelatin, and the stall owner is trying to sell it; the fat woman who has washed the clothes splashes a basin of turbid water downstairs and accidentally splashes it on the passer-by, causing a quarrel, the fat woman is very angry, and pours another basin of dirty water down, pinching her waist and pointing at the person to shout more and more; the down-and-out middle-aged man standing on the roof of the building is pouring wine, wailing about his life, staggering to his feet to end his life, not wanting to slip and fall directly, but fortunately grabbed a bamboo pole and immediately cried bitterly"I don't want to die", but I was already wet under my body......
Fang Yuan City is like a person living in a garbage heap, even if it is flooded with garbage, it is still breathing normally.
It's just that compared to the past, Fangyuan City has changed a little, and there are chains between the giant pillars along the coast, and they have become a bridge between them. With the addition of chains, the bridge was widened and became a wide avenue.
At the beginning, no one was willing to go up and try this road, after all, there were many murders because of this pillar of heaven some time ago, and they all died as easily as flies when they saw the mountains. However, there were always people who needed to hurry, and they needed to take the nearest road, so they took the risk and went to the bridge overhead.
So, one person, two people, a group of people......
As more and more people stepped on the bridge, they felt the convenience that they no longer had to go around the city, which not only greatly saved their time, but also greatly reduced the dangers everywhere.
After tasting the sweetness of convenience, some people began to build their own ladders or chains to climb the pillars of heaven, some began to lay wooden planks on the chains, and some even added pillars to connect to the "Heavenly Road Ascension".
"This 'Heavenly Road Soaring' came to an abrupt end without any movement, I didn't expect the huge building to become the blessing of Fangyuan City!"
"I was each for myself, asking for a great opportunity, but I didn't expect it to benefit everyone, it's really a creation and a trick!"
"It can be regarded as accumulating virtue. β
"Heh, what's the use of accumulating virtue in Fangyuan City? This place doesn't need any virtue, the things that the owners of those pillars have spent so much effort to build are willing to let you use them in vain? But it's strange to say, where have the owners of these pillars gone......"
After the seventy-two pillars of heaven were connected, they became the biggest highlight of Fangyuan City, and half of the people were discussing this matter. Of course, there is no shortage of people who are truly knowledgeable.
"In my opinion, this 'Heavenly Road Ascension' array has not yet been fully formed. What I did before was just to do this under the pretense of someone else's hands, but now the big array has the necessary conditions, and all that is lacking is Dongfeng Er!"
"This kind of big array covering Fangyuan City, once it is activated, hum!"
"If it is a slaughter array, most of the Fangyuan City will be covered by it, and the people who have passed through the Xuan Realm may not be able to escape at that time! β
"That's a mistake! If that's the case, is it really that there is no one in Fangyuan City? The characters hidden here are not what you little shrimp have ever seen!"
"Arrogance! Are you really a master who has cultivated to the Five Realms of Heavenly Destiny, just a mountain realm!"
"Let's see whose sword is sharper!"
β......β
Although the initial completion of the "Heavenly Road Soaring" has aroused heated discussions, it has not greatly affected the normal operation of Fangyuan City.
? Bai Yishi looked out the window, the sorrow accumulated between his eyebrows became heavier and heavier, he hadn't slept well in the past few days, and his eyes were even bloodshot. It was the first time in many years that he hadn't followed a regular routine.
? Things in reality are not the same as things in books, there must be a solution, and things in reality often don't know if there is a solution, and it's hard enough to judge this, let alone find a solution in the middle of a clue.
? "Your Excellency. Xu Ji hasn't stopped in the past few days, he has too many things to prepare, and he can't wait to divide one person into ten parts, so that all the problems can be solved.
? "You've worked hard these past few days. Bai Yishi said with some reluctance. If Xu Ji is used like this, sooner or later, this person will be wasted.
? "My lord, don't say any more polite words between the two of us. Xu Ji said with a smile, as if he didn't feel any tiredness.
? Bai Yishi also smiled: "Scholars, always talk about some sour and rotten 'etiquette'." Is there anything else that hasn't been done?"
? Xu Ji's face was slightly grim, and he said, "I didn't find the right person, and those so-called masters didn't have any premonitions about what was about to happen. β
Bai Yishi comforted: "If anyone could really have predicted it, it wouldn't have been like that in the second year of Tianshun." β
"But if we can't grasp the exact time, then all of us will be in vain!" Xu Ji's expression was slightly excited, he was too anxious, and this matter was the most important thing.
"Don't worry, maybe he can sense it. β
"Ning Du?"
Bai Yishi nodded.
Xu Ji shook his head and said, "I have already sent someone to contact Ning Du five days ago, and I have never replied, so I can't put all my hopes on him." β
Bai Yishi's eyes were slightly gloomy, and what Xu Ji said was not unreasonable. It stands to reason that it is impossible for Ning Du not to come after receiving his letter, so there is only one situation - that is, Ning Du did not receive the letter.
"In three days, if there is no more news, let's start!" Bai Yishi didn't know where Ning Du was now, and only hoped that the other party would see his letter and arrive in time as before.
Xu Ji's expression froze on his face for a while, he knew how much courage and courage Bai Yishi needed to make this decision, this sentence could determine the life and death of tens of thousands of people.
"Yes!" Xu Ji solemnly responded, saying that no matter what happens, he will follow through to the end.
"What about the Lotus Pond?" Bai Yishi asked.
"There won't be any problems, I'm good at such things as planting blame. But my fear is that everything is going to go wrong at the same time, and we don't have enough people to solve it. "What Xu Ji is most afraid of is that something like this will happen, and the probability of such a thing happening is extremely high.
Putting everything together is clever, but there is no margin for error, which means that once a link goes wrong, it is a complete loss. And there are all kinds of people who do things, and people make mistakes. Bai Yishi thought very well, but this "good" is as good as walking a tightrope, only after walking through the tightrope can it be applauded, and falling down halfway will not only not be applauded, but will also die.
Bai Yishi had thought about these questions countless times, but he didn't have enough people or strength in his hands. "Xu Ji, do you believe in your fate?" Bai Yishi suddenly asked.
"If it happens, believe it, and if it doesn't happen, don't believe it. Xu Ji said.
Bai Yishi smiled and said, "You, you have to believe in fate, and we areβdestiny!"
Xu Ji was stunned suddenly, he was shocked at first, then his face was full of incredulity, and then he calmly looked at Bai Yishi with a confident face, he really couldn't imagine who else in the world would be so confident, as if there was really a fate. Gradually, a belief for no reason took root from the bottom of my heart, grew, and even grew wildly.
At this moment, Xu Ji began to believe in his fate.
ββ
The mountain in Fangyuan City is a little colder than the mountain, but the mountain is dry, and it is a little more comfortable than the mountain after lighting the brazier.
Any noise from below the mountain will subside and eventually become quiet. If there is a heavy snowfall, the buildings on the mountain are completely covered in snow, and there is no trace of human activity anymore.
The wind swept over the old tiles of the roof, making a slight whining sound.
"The mountain is really a great treasure! Hehe! Who would have thought that an old mansion would actually contain a corpse hidden in the Xuan Realm, and no one would know that he had gone mad and died violently, and the wealth he had accumulated during his lifetime would all belong to me! Especially that vigorous elixir, it should not be a problem for me to break through to the upper realm of the mountain! After I finish exploring this house, I will find a barren mountain, until I break through and come here to hunt for treasure, and I can expect to see the mountain realm!" This snitch jumped in shape, silently landed in a corner, and pressed towards the wall, and was even half-hidden in it, he should have relied on this strange magic to be able to steal at will on the mountain of Fangyuan City.
"Hehe, there is so much dust here, it must be that no one has been here for many years, look at the vitality fluctuations above, there should be a forbidden magic array, but this fluctuation is not strong, it should not be difficult to break it!"
Just as the snitch was about to cast a cracking method, he suddenly felt a tightness around him, and it was too late to turn back.
Burst!
A mountain realm turned into a pool of flesh and blood.
"The little snitch dares to steal from the mountains, I really don't know how thick the sky is!" said the man in the house in a cold voice.
"Fourth brother, you don't have to be angry with these thieves. There are always people in Fangyuan City who are not afraid of death, and they can't be killed. β
"Don't talk about it, let's talk about the batch of goods before the end of the year. Said the man at the head of the room.
"It's still not enough, the current goods are already very difficult to supply daily flow, and it is not easy to squeeze out a large number of high-quality goods. β
"Last time, the old immortal left the master and caused the sixth brother to die, and the line that the sixth brother was responsible for has not been connected until now, which affects the supply too much. One of them said with hatred on his face.
"No matter how difficult it is, you have to do it, this is a death-defying thing, and no one can have a reason to change it!"
Everyone was silent for a while, and they all knew the current predicament and the pressure on their bodies.
"In this way, take out 50 million taels, divide each line into hundreds of thousands of taels, don't want real goods, as long as people! No matter how big or small fish they are, catch them up and pick them again! Just fish slowly, it's too late!"
"Will such a large-scale 'fishing' be noticed?"
"Take out half of the family funds and let everyone who wants to manage them shut up!"
"Half of the family ......?"
"That's right!"
"Okay! That's it!
