Chapter 349: I have been looking forward to seventeen years and not returning
For Kong Ling, Deng Xiaoxian, Song Qing and even the world of Shenzhou, the five continents of Xuanwu disappeared without a trace.
For the thousands of people who set foot on the Xuanwu Five Continents, it was Jiangning City that disappeared.
At about a moment, Qian Wenzhao, the political envoy of Jianghuai Province, opened the sealed holy decree, and when he saw that there was no word on the holy decree, he was already shocked, and he was in a hurry, when he suddenly heard someone exclaim.
"Look at the lakeshore!"
When everyone heard this, they saw that the rain had stopped, but the surrounding lake seemed to be boundless, where was the shadow of Jiangning City!
From that moment on, the chaos lasted for three whole days.
Thousands of people huddled on five connected islands, as if the end times were coming. The young talents who were full of ambition not long ago did not show their intelligence different from ordinary people in the face of the sudden crisis.
The night before, Qian Wenzhao was tied up and cut off an arm. It is a pity that he knows nothing, and can neither answer the questions of the angry crowd, nor give any solution to them.
At this time, everyone naturally understood that those rumors about the Kunlun outcasts and the conspiracy of the Month-by-Moon Conference were not groundless.
So on the night of the third day, when the second group of water savers who had been sent out returned in vain and could not find any land except the five continents of Xuanwu, the desperate crowd spontaneously divided into several hills and began a fratricidal battle almost purely out of anger.
The reason for the murder is almost the same: we have known for a long time that this is a conspiracy, why don't you listen to it?
Of course, among the thousands of people who came to the Xuanwu Five Continents, there were a few of them who had the ability to stop this inexplicable fight. For example, Tianmu Tu Yao, such as Qufu Kong Tan, such as Lehu Yangxiu and Situ Yan......
But these few people didn't make a move from beginning to end, but only restrained the forces of their respective academies and did not participate in any killings.
And the forces of these three academies gradually all gathered on Lingzhou in the southwest corner of the five continents.
The power of the so-called three academies, Tianmu Academy is actually difficult to compare with the other two, but with Bu'an and his seven divisions, the number is not at a disadvantage, and the strength is by no means inferior. It's just that everyone in the Seven Divisions is quite hidden, and no one knows how many catties and taels they have.
On the evening of the fifth day, the Seven Divisions set up a bonfire by the lake to grill fish—there was no food on the island, and the only food these days was fish swimming in the lake.
Not far away, Bu'an leaned against the railing of the water pavilion and faced the sunset in a daze.
Tu Yao sat on the stone bench in the water pavilion and glanced at Bu'an, but didn't say anything. In the past few days, she has already said everything she wants to say, but she just feels that Bu'an shouldn't come.
"Your cousin has been there for four days, no matter how good the water is, he can't stay in the water for so long......" Tu Yao finally couldn't help but sigh.
"For now, I have to resign myself to fate. Bu An shook his head, a trace of bitterness on his face, but he was not worried at all.
Four days earlier, he had consulted with Seventeen to explore the terrain, and when she had left in the night, he told everyone that his cousin had excellent water qualities, and had volunteered to find land.
As for whether Seventeen is good or not, of course Bu'an doesn't know, but whether she is fishing in the water is fake, and Feitian is real, even if she really can't find land, she won't be able to come back.
Afraid that Tu Yao would continue to ask, Bu An suddenly sighed: "I don't know what's going on outside......
"I'm afraid it's even more chaotic than here. Tu Yao shook his head, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
The two of them sighed without saying a word, and suddenly heard an exclamation, the voice came from the north end of Lingzhou, which was from Qufu Academy.
Bu'an got up and looked, only to see that all the people in Qufu were standing on the shore, looking into the distance. Following their line of sight, they could see several black dots in the far distance on the lake.
The black dot was getting closer and closer, and when it was clear that it was six or seven small boats, the entire Xuanwu Five Continents became lively.
The people of the Seven Divisions also threw down the bonfire and gathered in front of Bu'an, discussing who would find the boat - of course they hoped that Su Shiqi would be on the boat, but they didn't dare to be so confident.
Bu An knew that nothing would happen to Seventeen, so he didn't look forward to her being on the boat so much, just stood on the railing and looked out from afar.
Not long after, I heard someone on the boat shouting: "Senior Brother Kong, Senior Sister Song......"
Qufu Academy was immediately boiling, and many people from several other small islands were also rushing towards Lingzhou.
Bu An simply sat down and signaled everyone in the Seven Divisions to be calm and not to join in the fun.
Before a few small boats docked, Song Manqiu ran over and beckoned Bu An to board with them.
"I have a lot of people here, and I can't squeeze in. Bu An shook his head and smiled lightly.
Song Manqiu looked at the people of the Seven Divisions when he heard this, and knew that Bu An was right, so he smiled and walked away again.
At this time, there was a fight on the embankment leading to Lingzhou, and the sound of falling water and shouting and scolding was everywhere.
Immediately afterwards, Kong Tan's voice sounded, probably to persuade everyone to be restless, since they have found the boat, there must be land, or it won't be long before everyone can land on the shore, and there is no need to fight for a while.
Bu An saw that Situ Yan also went to Qufu Academy, and he didn't know whether he wanted to be the first to board the ship or to find out about the situation.
Soon after, seven boats docked one after another, and the north shore of Lingzhou became more and more lively, and there was a fight on the causeway.
The people of Qufu were afraid that something would happen if it dragged on for a long time, so they simply boarded the boat in a hurry, and ordered the boat to go away as soon as possible.
Seeing that they were walking in such a hurry, cursing for a while, from time to time someone jumped into the lake, desperately swam to a few small boats, and when they were about to catch up, the people of Qufu also replaced their captains one after another, paddling with their own hands, and the boat was riding the wind and waves.
The cultivator who jumped into the water had no choice but to retreat back.
The people of the Seven Divisions always stood in the water pavilion to watch the excitement, laughing from time to time, or scolding in a low voice, and they were very disdainful of those who were pretentious and talented, but had no shame in their bones.
At this moment, Song Manqiu's figure appeared in front of everyone again, only to see her carrying a longbow and walking towards this side.
"Miss Song...... You didn't get on the boat?" Luo Qingting exclaimed.
Song Manqiu smiled: "Senior Brother Kong, they will send a boat back, and it doesn't matter if I wait." ”
Bu An saw her looking at her, and naturally understood the meaning of this sentence - she deliberately stayed in the Seventh Division as a hostage, lest Kong Tan not send a ship back.
People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless, Miss Song has repeatedly shown favor to him, the moment she stepped into the Xuanwu Five Continents, her mind was already clear, and now she is even more in trouble to see the truth, if Bu An pretends to be stupid again, it will be too cold-blooded.
But in front of so many people, especially Tu Yao was also present, he really didn't say anything, he just smiled and nodded, and said softly: "Thank you, Miss Song......"
Tu Yao also smiled at Song Manqiu, but he was suspicious in his heart: that day, Bu'an once said that he refused to move in with Song Shiqiu because of this Song Manqiu girl......
As soon as she thought of this, Tu Yao felt that she had thought wrong before, and the reason why Bu An avoided Song Manqiu was not because she had a holiday with her, but because of her status as a son-in-law, for fear of delaying Miss Song.
After figuring out this layer, Tu Yao couldn't help but sigh softly, and when he looked at Song Manqiu again, a trace of tenderness rose in his eyes, as if the elders were looking at the juniors.
From this night on, Song Manqiu lived on the side of the Seventh Division, and slept in the water pavilion with Tu Yao and Luo Qingting. Bu An and the people of the Seven Divisions slept in the open air outside the water pavilion, protecting these women in the center.
For several days in a row, boats came, at first four or five, but gradually more and more, and almost at once they could pick up more than 200 people.
Bu An never refused to board the ship, and everyone thought that he was humble, or that he was concerned about Su Shiqi, so he didn't say much.
Six or seven days later, Qian Wenzhao, who even broke an arm, also got on the boat, but Bu Ye still refused to leave. Seeing this, Song Manqiu let a junior disciple of Qufu Academy persuade him bitterly, and still refused to leave with the boat.
Regarding Bu'an's abnormal behavior, whether it is the people of the Seven Divisions, or Guang Nian and Song Manqiu, they are all used to it.
Only Tu Yao couldn't understand it.
This day is the twelfth day of the people's escape into the Peach Blossom Spring, according to the outside calendar, it is the fourth day of the fourth month of the fourth month of the third year of Longxing.
The noon sun shone on the blue waves, the last fleet was far away, there was no one else on the five continents of Xuanwu, Bu'an finally sent Zhang Blind and others to survey the terrain and look for clues of the Peach Blossom Source Array.
Only he, Tu Yao and Song Manqiu were left in the Lingzhou Water Pavilion.
"The Peach Blossom Paradise Array is so complicated and mysterious, even if you want to try to crack it, you won't be in a hurry at this time, right?" Tu Yao wondered.
"It's really not urgent. Bu An smiled and nodded, "But I don't leave, but there is another reason." ”
Tu Yao was secretly puzzled, and when she caught a glimpse of Song Manqiu's relaxed face, she seemed to be convinced of Bu'an, so she became more and more confused.
"Shiqi is not an ordinary person, she will not have an accident, it is a little strange that she has not come back for so long. Bu An gave his reasons.
"Childe, do you think that the land they found is not safe, Senior Brother Kong?" Song Manqiu exclaimed.
Bu An nodded solemnly, this is only one of the possible reasons, but the possibility is quite large.
Seventeen flew in the sky, far more than a few cultivators on the shore of the water, she could see clearly, if there was land around, she must be the first to find it, and she would not return for a long time, which was quite suspicious.
"Maybe she's looking in the wrong direction?" Tu Yao frowned.
Bu An pondered for a long time, pondering that this place was isolated from the world, and there seemed to be no need to deliberately hide some things, so he said lightly: "Master, Shiqi will fly ......"
"She's a demon?" Tu Yao exclaimed.
"All I know is that she can transform into birds...... Bu An muttered, but he still kept the last secret for Seventeen.
"In this way, there must be something strange about the land nearby. Tu Yao frowned.
"Why didn't Childe say it earlier?" Song Manqiu wondered.
"Do you think anyone will believe me when I say it?" Bu An shook his head and smiled.
Song Manqiu remembered that these days, everyone was scrambling, lest they be left behind, and suddenly stopped talking.
