—181 A.D.——

The World of the Yellow Sky, this is the name that Zhang Jiao gave to this world that is full of ruins as far as the eye can see.

The dark and gloomy sky, the dense green jungle, and the gray and pale ruins make up the main color of this world, which is the same as the "outside world" but completely different, and people can't help but feel worried.

As he approached the giant deer, Zhang Jiao, who became more familiar with the environment, began to see some of the villages and towns that had left an impression, all of which remained destroyed and covered with plants.

From his detailed exploration of these towns, he was quite certain that they were all destroyed by the war, and that the two sides were the defenders who defended the city with sophisticated but insufficient numbers, and on the other side were the nomadic tribes who behaved roughly, and the siege was entirely filled with human lives, but their numbers were endless.

As for the ending...... Just look at the ruins to see it.

However, there is no sign of mortal existence in this world, whether living or corpse, only the many plants that surround, entrench, and coexist with the ruins.

Wait a minute...... Zhang Jiao stopped his investigation of the defensive measures of a city ruin, and looked up at the endless forest around him.

He recalled that both the "Pavilion of the Saints" and the "Pavilion of the Warriors" were all located in the dense jungle, and a considerable part of the "Immortal Cave Mansion" that appeared in some rumors was "suddenly appeared in the deep forest".

Leaving aside the unknown title of "South China Old Immortal", "she" usually uses the names "Merlin" and "Lin Hao" respectively, and there are always petals falling all over her body, does this mean that the power of that fairy is "plant", or, at least, including.

And the white-haired little animals that she always holds and can't see the type at all represent the meaning of "animals" that are tolerated and cared for by "plants".

So...... Zhang Jiao continued to deduce along this line of thought, and there was no obstacle at all: this "fairy" came from the "future", and the mortals could not resist the invasion of foreign races for some reason, and all towns in the Central Plains were completely destroyed.

It is doubtful whether these alien races retreated on their own or were wiped out by the "fairies", but there is no doubt that the Central Plains with only ruins and no living people left makes her very "lonely" - will plants be lonely? Zhang Jiao paused for a moment and decided to continue thinking about it with this word for the time being.

The "lonely" "fairy" somehow, perhaps because the eternal properties of plants have returned to the present, will create the "Fu Shui" and "Nine Flowers Jade Dew Pill" with excellent healing effects, while the aliens and those who have committed crimes that exclude themselves from the ranks of the Han people are not within her protection.

"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious." At this time, reciting these four proverbs, Zhang Jiao couldn't help but have some kind of enlightenment, perhaps, this "Huang Tian" without any one exists, is the act of "another self", at least the beginning of his cause, but because he is not a foreign race or a "traitor", so the "fairy" will "guide" rather than "exterminate".

Let the people of the Central Plains survive as much as possible in that unprecedented alien invasion...... Is it?

For the first time, Zhang Jiao did not have a sense of admiration for the "South China Fairy" because of his strength.

Julu County, Taiping Dao General Altar.

In Yellow Sky, it is also in ruins, but unlike other towns, the main altar is more "ruined" than "destroyed".

"Of course," Zhang Jiao thought as he walked into the familiar and unfamiliar main altar, "even if the Central Plains is fully invaded by foreign races, but in some places where they can easily be put down like mowing grass, only the completely brainless guy will take the initiative to attack." ”

The main altar is a tall altar as the center, and the pattern of building all kinds of buildings in a ring around it, not to mention the ordinary buildings around, the four large tripods on the central altar filled with runic water, which are used to increase the immortal arts, can completely match Zhang Jiao and the top peerless generals - that's right, it is to use Lu Bu as an imaginary enemy.

With some kind of luck, Zhang Jiao walked up to the altar, but as expected, all of the four big tripods were empty, and he looked at the pile of vines that wrapped the big tripod tightly to make a water-absorbing shape, and he could only helplessly spread his hands.

But just as Zhang Jiao was about to leave the altar, a translucent orange-yellow water suddenly flashed around him, just like he usually did when he cast spells on the real altar.

Zhang Jiao subconsciously held on to those "water lights", but before he could think about what he was going to do with them, he saw dozens of panicked translucent figures flickering around the altar.

Seems to be some ordinary disciple who manages the altar? Zhang Jiao approached the figures, and as expected, he saw some slightly familiar faces, shouting something.

It seems to be "walking on the altar"? Well...... It is true that the water "walked".

Zhang Jiao thought about it, and then used this "water light" that had penetrated the barrier of the two worlds for some reason to perform an immortal technique recorded in the Earth Escape Technique, which was used to strengthen the five senses, and was called the "Divine Eye".

"The great sage and good teacher are not here, but we have lost the rune water reserve, so we can only apologize to the young lady with death."

"Don't panic, how do you know this isn't used by the Great Sage and Mentor from a distance?"

"Yes...... Is that so? ”

"In short, replenish the reserves first, if it is done by a great sage and good teacher, there will definitely be a message."

A group of Taoists talked about it.

Well...... The eyes were not strengthened too much, the phantom was still a phantom, but at least the words could be heard, Zhang Jiao shook his head and left the altar, while guiding the water in the ding to form a requisitioned word "Zheng".

————

The caretaker of the central altar was convinced that it was the great sage and good master who had taken away the runic water reserves, so that it would no longer be known to everyone, which also gave Zhang Jiao the opportunity to learn about the current situation of Taiping Dao in secret.

As he guessed, although the imperial court was temporarily distracted by the war in the northwest, the suppression of Taiping Dao did not stop, and in addition, because the concession faction gave the ten permanent servants "donations" in order to keep the material channels, this money became a rule, and it will rise from time to time, which further increased the number of people who wanted to teach the court a lesson.

Therefore, the current situation is that although Taiping Dao has unanimously shown a withdrawn attitude to the outside world, it has been divided internally into the radical faction headed by Zhang Liang and the concessionary faction led by Zhang Bao, and many disciples also have their own attitudes.

The only person who could really influence their decision, Zhang Jiao's daughter Zhang Jie, did not express her stance because she did not allow her father's attitude, but just patrolled around with her apricot yellow flag to prevent those Taoists with conflicting ideas from seriously fighting.

"Stinky Daddy, stupid Daddy, if you don't come back, those Daoists who are divided into two factions will fight."

[You can find Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao to mediate the conflict between the Taoists. 】”

When Zhang Jiao returned to the ashram where he often lived, he saw that his daughter was complaining about the "answering immortal art" he had left in advance, and the illusion with Zhang Jiao's appearance also answered freely.

It is a kind of personal image that responds to specific words based on pre-stored information, and has no communication function, and it comes from the Book of Escape from the Earth, powered by the four great tripods.

"It's useless, if the two uncles are present, they will only support their own faction, maybe the two of them will also fight."

"[You can ask Dao Ancestor Zhang Jiao to adjust the conflict between the elders. 】”

"Then you're back!"

"You can use the altar to send a request to the Dao Ancestor to see you.] 】”

"Do you think we haven't tried!"

"......" Zhang Jiao supported his forehead, daughter, why are you quarreling with the illusion.

I haven't seen her for three years, Zhang Jie has grown a little, she has changed from a girl to a girl, her appearance is delicate, more cunning and playful, and she has learned to pick beautiful styles and match suitable accessories in clothes, but the complicated hairstyle must not be her own sparse, the only thing that has not changed is the apricot yellow flag in her hand.

"Miss, this is the information sent by the Taoist disciples who stayed in Luoyang, about the battle of Liangzhou." Ma Yuanyi, who was still gentle and reliable, walked in with a stack of silk books in his hand, and then placed them on the table.

"Thank you, senior brother~" Zhang Jie responded sweetly, and reached out to look through the silk books: "Although I don't think my father will go to that kind of place." ”

This kind of observation through the world can give a general view of the scenery and people, but for the words on the scroll...... Zhang Jiao walked over and glanced at the silk book, and as expected, there was nothing on the translucent white silk.

"Well, the main force of the Qiang people is placed in front of him, and he secretly cuts off his back road, and then the front is ......" Zhang Jie paused halfway through her thoughts, and raised her eyes to look at Ma Yuanyi: "Senior brother, does my father have an immortal technique similar to a fire meteor available?" ”

"As far as we know, there are none, although the master can call the wind and rain, attract thunder and lightning, create phantoms, and scatter beans into soldiers, but there are still many things that cannot be done." Ma Yuanyi replied seriously.

There is everything on the three volumes of the Book of Heaven, Zhang Jiao sighed, but even if he is now called a scattered immortal, he can only dabble in the "Book of Heaven and Escape" slightly, and as for the things on the "Book of Heaven and Heaven", he is still not allowed to enter the door.

"Oh...... It's like he's locked up now and can't come back. Zhang Jie said casually.

"......" Zhang Jiao had nothing to say for a while.

After the Battle of Liangzhou, "Lin Hao" "released" him and Tong Yuan, but did not tell him the way to leave this world, which must have some deep meaning, but he has not yet figured it out.

"What! Zhang Jue, this guy! Zhang Jie, who was reading the information, suddenly slapped the table, but Ma Yuanyi did not react as expected.

"Transform Fu Shui into a weapon, and use this as an opportunity to advance, and take refuge in Jinan Prime Minister Cao Cao......" Zhang Jie continued to look at a few more lines: "How can this be reasonable!" If you talk about the method of killing, not only are there many weapons and weapons now, but even the unequaled generals are everywhere, so he still has to pull 'Fu Shui' into this ranks? Is that guy begging for a fight?! ”

Who the hell is it? Raised my originally well-behaved daughter so irritable...... Zhang Jiao looked slightly sluggish.

"No! I'm going to teach him a lesson! Zhang Jie read a few more pieces of information, and felt that it was not very important, and jumped up directly with the apricot yellow flag: "Senior brother! Are you coming with me? ”

"Whatever you plan to do, I'll support you, Minjing." Ma Yuanyi said with a smile.

It's you!
