359 Blizzard swept through Midstate
?.?8]1?Z} Countless houses were crushed, countless suffering people died of cold and starvation, the whole land was white, and thousands of miles were frozen scenes, not only there was no sign of human activity, but even time seemed to be frozen by this sky of ice and snow.
In such bad weather, the army that pulled the unconscious and flowing fire quietly drove into the Great King City.
At dusk, the city of Dawang was covered in a miserable white by the wind and snow, and there were few pedestrians on the streets, and the whirlwind raged on the street corners, looking for the cracks of the houses and desperately pouring in.
In this kind of ghost weather, the people are all cats at home, guarding the brazier and drinking two glasses of wine, anyway, the rice grain at home is enough, and there are a lot of dried vegetables and salted meat for the winter.
The character of Peishui people who have no worries about food and clothing is very cheerful and atmospheric, it is said that a blizzard should not make people so depressed? Now in this weather, if you go to the restaurant to set up a hot pot, hot soup, sliced meat and a few glasses of warm wine, look up at the wind and snow outside the window, this kind of enjoyment will not be changed for a fairy.
But recently, it has been evil, during this time, the entire Dawang City has been shrouded in a strange atmosphere, and the business of the restaurant and teahouse has plummeted, even if there are customers who patronize, they have lost their former spirit, and they are all wilted like eggplants beaten in snow.
This eerie atmosphere began to emerge two days ago, and today this eerie atmosphere has reached its climax. The reason is very simple, the main force of the Black Iron Legion returned to the city today.
There was no grand welcome ceremony, no flowing fire leading the generals to parade through the streets, and even no daydreaming of the celebrations organized by the prime minister, everything was quiet, and only those families who received the news of the death of their loved ones could not suppress their grief and wept bitterly in the wind and snow.
For a whole decade, the Great King City had never encountered such a crisis as it is now, and a war that paid a terrible price was not won, only in exchange for a draw agreement. What's even more terrifying is that a rumor that shook the hearts of the people began to circulate quietly on both sides of Peishui. Something happened to Lord Drifting Fire, and Lord Flowing Fire was unconscious.
Everyone didn't believe it, and they accused it of being a poisonous plan of the enemy, specially designed to disturb people's hearts. But today, when the main force of the Black Iron Legion returned to the Great King City, Lord Flowing Fire actually did not show up, and this abnormal behavior made everyone stupid at once.
Since the army has to have a military parade, then the army can't be silent and silent when it returns to the division, this is not the style of our Peishui people.
Just today, the spread of rumors has reached its peak.
At this time, the atmosphere of Peishui's official residence was extremely depressing, and the core figures in Peishui's military and civil affairs had already gathered in the small building in the garden. And the Flowing Fire lay quietly on the bed on the second floor, unconsciously accepting their daydreaming of their visit.
In the eyes of Daydream, Cheng Jun, and Wang Blind, Lord Liuhuo just fell asleep quietly, and everything was nothing unusual. But in the eyes of the Iron Abacus, the situation of Lord Flowing Fire was very serious, because they could no longer feel the fluctuations in the divine consciousness on Flowing Fire's body.
After being silent for a long time, Suzaku finally spoke, "Everyone has seen the situation of the flowing fire clearly, and Liu Lao and Uncle Wen have been accompanying him along the way, the only thing that can be determined now is that the life of the flowing fire is not in danger, and his various physical functions are very healthy..."
Before Suzaku finished speaking, the civil and military ministers all breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad in their hearts, as long as their lives were okay. But Suzaku's later words brought up everyone's hearts again.
"But... Uncle Wen suspects... He suspected that Drift Fire might be in a coma for a long time..."
"Huh?" the crowd immediately shouted, "How long is it? Is there a specific time..."
How long is it? How long is it forever? This kind of vague vocabulary is the last thing people want to hear now. And at this time, Mei Jiaoniang also spoke.
"No one can say the specific time, after all, no one has ever seen this kind of divine consciousness disappear, now Liu Lao has returned to Yongyang Mountain, Granny Mu has also gone to the depths of the swamp, and Jumu accompanied Uncle Wen to take that team of giants to Cangmang Mountain, they are going to collect several cherished herbs, hoping to re-refine the long-lost Qingxin Pill, or this is the hope that will make Liuhuo wake up..."
Pure Heart Pill? Oh, isn't there a flowing fire? Hou Wen jumped up first, "The Pure Heart Pill is there, the meeting gift that my father gave to the flowing fire is three pure heart pills, which are the supreme wonderful products for restoring the divine sense, and it should be no problem to wake up the sleeping flowing fire..."
It's a pity that Hou Wen's words were exchanged for the collective shaking of the three women, including Yun Shaoyue, "No, the three pills are all gone..."
Yun Shayue said, "In the Labyrinth of the God of War, Flowing Fire told me that in the process of fighting with the four god generals, Flowing Fire once ate one of them..."
Immediately afterwards, Suzaku also spoke, "In Wengang City, in order to treat the prince Lin Feng, who was about to go crazy, the second Qingxin Pill was used by Flowing Fire..."
At this time, Mei Jiaoniang also took over the conversation, "And the last Qingxin Pill has been missing, during the period of being in a coma in the flowing fire, we have searched him no less than ten times inside and out, including all the belongings he has with him, and there is no trace of the Qingxin Pill at all..."
"Now, there are suspicious things on the body of the flowing fire, and these are the two things..."
After speaking, Mei Jiaoniang took out the Yin and Yang Pisces Jade Pendant that had already been synthesized from under the pillow of Flowing Fire, and the other was the silver vial that Flowing Fire accidentally obtained, which was the silver mercury bottle with the thickness of a little finger.
"The jade pendant is very beautiful, but we don't know what it's for, and we started to think it's a magic weapon, but there is no vitality fluctuation at all. And inside this silver vial, there is some fragrant liquid, and none of us can guess what the liquid here is..."
A room full of people, looking at the objects on the table, all looked at each other, and no one knew anyone. Also, even Liu Lao and Uncle Wen can't understand things, let alone them.
There is only so much information, no matter how much you recall, you can't think of anything. With this little bit of poor information, I can't analyze the reason for changing immortals.
In the end, it was a daydream to help everyone summarize the current situation.
"Everyone already knows the strangeness of Lord Flowing Fire before he fell into a coma. I think the lightning slash should be negative, and the enemy's sneak attack is not reliable, even the ancestor you said can't beat the adult into a coma silently, right?"
"So now all the weirdness is focused on these two objects, and while I don't know what they are, I think it definitely has a lot to do with the fact that adults are unconscious. Suzaku-sama, you still have to take good care of it, don't lose it..."
"We are helpless about the adult's coma, and now there is really no other way to go except to put our hope in the Qingxin Pill prepared by Liu Lao... I don't know, Liu Lao, they haven't given a deadline..."
At this time, Shi Meng and Hou Wen spoke, "Liu Lao came out and the two of us went to see him off, before leaving, Liu Lao said that no matter whether the Qingxin Pill can be successfully prepared or not, Liu Lao and the others will definitely come back on New Year's Day..."
"On New Year's Day, in a month and a half, this matter will come to an end?" daydream asked anxiously. At this time, Daydream suddenly lowered his head and muttered to himself.
"A month and a half, not long, not short, during this time, we must block the news and stabilize people's hearts. Now there is not a single great master in the entire Great King City, and the Black Iron Legion is at its weakest moment, and the people's morale and morale are also very low. If someone sneaks up on us at this time, how can we resist it?"
Daydream's vigilance reminded everyone present, really, the current Peishui is in the most vulnerable period, if the Yu family and the Li family send a group of great masters at this time, it doesn't take more than ten to send out, and the endless assassination alone will be overwhelming.
Shi Zhongxing and Hou Tianhang stayed in Zhongzhou Mountain, after the death of Tongxuan, the Creation Gate was completely chaotic, and they brought a group of high-status scattered cultivators to the town, hoping to integrate the last resources of the Creation Gate.
Liu Lao and the others originally wanted to celebrate the New Year in Dawang City, but when this kind of thing happened to Liuhuo, these elders could only help Liuhuo from all over the world to think about it.
Now that the entire Peishui Great Master is not proficient, and the Black Iron Legion and the Skywalkers have just been transferred back from the battlefield, it is the time when they need to rest the most. If the Yu family and the Li family make a move at this time, Peishui will be a catastrophe.
Daydreaming caution is not superfluous, and now at this time, in the fantasy realm of Zhongzhou Mountain, a secret meeting is being held, and the person presiding over the meeting is actually the ancestor who has ignored mundane things for many years.
"To tell you the truth, now Liuhuo has the most urgently needed secret of our Jade Family, that is, the secret painting of the energy wall. Now I know that this energy wall doesn't need to be destroyed at all, that thing is originally a barrier, a protection, as long as we can get our hands on the introductory secret painting, the wealth in different areas will be ours..."
Speaking of this, the old ancestor stroked a huge water jade boulder in front of him with his hand, and the flat side simply became a table for everyone to place tea sets.
"Look, you have lived for so many years, how have you ever seen such a huge water jade, look at the pure water system vitality in this, how many good seedlings can this help awaken..."
The more the ancestor looked at it, the more he loved, the more he thought about it, the more beautiful he became, and finally slammed the table, "I tell you, Flowing Fire is not only our enemy, he is also the treasure of our Jade family, before he squeezes all his secrets, no one can plot against him, I can say ugly things in front..."
Yu Fei looked at the excited old ancestor, and smiled awkwardly, "No one said that he was not important, the meaning of our invitation to the old ancestor is also to analyze and analyze the reason for the strange withdrawal of the army, in fact, according to the normal degree of the flowing fire, all the troops should be withdrawn after ten days, but he didn't even say hello, he actually played missing, there must be something suspicious in this..."
"I mean, we still have to find out the intelligence work first, what happened to the fire, and after the investigation is clear, we can deal with it specifically..."
Yu Fei's analysis was not wrong, and the people around him nodded one after another, "That's right, Old Monster Liu is as cunning as a fox, who knows what tricks the two masters and apprentices have?
The old ancestor blinked his eyes and thought for a while, "Well, since you all think so, then send someone to investigate, and let Sima Chenguang lead the team, he has a calm personality and will not come nonsense, and there is no need for manpower, ten great masters are enough..."
Speaking of this, the old ancestor stared at Sima Chenguang and said in a low voice, "How important is the secret mastered by Liuhuo, I don't need to say more, when the time comes, be smart, don't mess up the good situation..."
Sima Chenguang, staring into the eyes of this old ancestor, nodded heavily, and turned to leave.
