Chapter XVIII
One night was uneventful, and several days of earthquakes and earthquakes in succession plunged the entire Donglin City into unprecedented tribulation, full of devastation, the former home was shattered, the broken walls were ruined, and the buildings collapsed badly. Wisps of sadness poured into my heart, watching the hundred acres of fertile land turn into ashes in an instant, and the smile on anyone's face couldn't be hung up.
Concubine Yue saw that the mountains in the distance had been completely deformed, shaped like a huge Ma'an Mountain, and thick gray smoke rose from the volcanoes, drifting away, slowly fading, and disappearing into the refreshing sky.
Not only the Great Jin Dynasty, but also the Seven Kingdoms, miserable, like the city of Donglincheng, which is in the crack of the earth's veins, is a sad thing to escape, how can the common people resist? Even if there is a monitoring department, it is only three days' work, and there are no wings, so they can only find a temporary safe haven and lick their wounds secretly. If there is no vigilance before the disaster, I am afraid that there will not be one out of ten people.
If the earthquake strikes normally, it will not affect the pond fish so much, and at a fixed time, three or five months in advance, the eastern city will migrate to the southern border of the marsh city to settle down.
Concubine Yue didn't care, anyway, they were just some insignificant refugees, just have food to eat and saliva to drink, if you want to blame this world, why did such a natural disaster become?
The ghost searched everywhere to no avail, the surrounding terrain was unpredictable, twisting and turning, and there was no general direction, and finally came back in a gray manner. Ning Que and the others returned leisurely.
The resentment on the face of the ghost made Ning Que a little unbearable, but when he was constantly interrupted, he knew better than anyone else the way to suffer from it, the two were inseparable, and they were enemies of life and death, but she was not deep in the world, and she was kept in the dark and unknown, so she was so close to him.
Ning Que's eyes were squinting from beginning to end, looking prodigal, full of indifference, occasionally popping out a few hints to draw a clear line, but he was regarded as the wind in his ears by the ghost, chasing and beating hard, serving tea and water all day long, helping him wipe his sweat, and sending delicious food, and he was never tired of it. was ruthlessly knocked to the ground by Ning Que again and again.
Ghost Er is forced to smile every time, without a trace of sadness, and is obedient. In the end, Xiong Genglong really couldn't stand it, and scolded Ning Que for not being a thing, so as to appease the ghost.
The half-moon scene passed in a flash, and Ning Que also had a few conversations with Jian Kuixing, understanding the identity and status of the other party, and he was actually the eighth of the thirty-six Tiangang who was famous in the Great Jin Dynasty, and his status as a master was much higher, and he was on par with the ranking of the Lord of the Mu Palace.
Tiangang Thirty-six, this is the ranking of spiritual masters set up by Tianjilou for various countries, but all those who are on the list symbolize their status and status, and their strength is second to none.
Seventy-two, the peak existence of the corresponding spiritual refining cultivators, without the courage of ten thousand people, they are not qualified to be on the list at all, and there are five of the ten major hall masters of the Tai Killing Hall in it, which can be seen from this. Without diamonds, how can you catch this fine porcelain
The instrument is alive, and it is no wonder that the Huang clan is holding on to the Tai Killing Hall and not letting go.
Among the top of the heavenly list, all of them are big people who can change the situation of one party, and even the royal family has to be co-opted by themselves, and they dare not coerce too deeply.
And the list of places is all the mainstay, which can control and protect the side and deter ambitious people.
On the way, Ning Que knocked on the side, wanting to get the purpose of this eastward trip from Jian Kuixing's mouth, what kind of cover-up words such as the imperial concubine's visit to relatives, as long as he is a smart person, seeing such a menacing heavy soldier, he knows that the drunkard does not mean to drink. But Jian Kuixing didn't let go, and said with interest: "Xiaoyou will know sooner or later, there is no difference between knowing early and knowing later, why bother?"
Ning Que also knew that this person's patience had reached the limit, and if he continued to ask, he was afraid that it would backfire, so he could only give up.
Platform County, the internal forces are intricate, there are sects, there are also a few small families, there is more industry of the Ning family, there is also a city lord appointed by the royal family, the Chamber of Commerce of the Zhao family Xiong family also has a transit station here, although there is no major event on weekdays, but once there is a little wind and grass, it is a closed door, stay at home, the major forces will be all soldiers, guard against each other, and infiltrate each other to make friends, the atmosphere is sometimes cold and hot, and the water inside is very deep.
Half a mile away, I saw a long line of greetings, dressed more brightly and brightly, and much stronger. Surprisingly, the earthquake did not seem to have caused any disturbance to the place, the road surface was smooth, and the avenue was wide and smooth.
The cheers of gongs and drums echoed in his ears, riding a somewhat thin black horse, hanging far behind, the ghost on his side tirelessly chirped, and the temperament in the Tai Killing Hall was like two people, if it wasn't for knowing the roots, Ning Que was only afraid that he would also be moved by her persistent sincerity. The more this is the case, the more Ning Que feels that things are intriguing, and it is really incomprehensible to be diligent to such a field.
I was dusty all the way, and I found a slot, and I was trying to sneak away to find an inn and repair it well, and I didn't want to get together with these sergeants who kept a straight face all day long and didn't smile, it was too boring.
Unbeknownst to him, the ghost followed him like a fart, and followed him with all his heart. On the streets, there are many people, small merchants and hawkers have disappeared, and only those inns and taverns that can be on the table, and the high-end and high-grade doors of Qianzhuang silk and satin shops are open, as for those medicinal herb shops, although the armory shops are narrower, but the business is extremely hot.
Ning Que's eyes looked at every corner of the surrounding walls like a radar, and finally found some clues, many locations have traces of renovation, like the previously cracked walls, re-painted with a thick layer of putty powder, the color is obviously a lot more beautiful, as for some corners, bluestone paved ground, there are traces of new placement.
Platform County, the geographical location is somewhat special, the west is connected to the east of Baili Liangtian, the east is connected to Qinghe County, and the Qingyan River of Qinghe County has a long history, there are countless large and small tributaries, and there are branches below the tributaries, among which there is just a tributary across the platform county, and it is very convenient to come and go.
To the north of Platform County, it is Fei
Yangjun is the boundary of the Xuanjia family, which can be said to cover the sky with one hand, but compared to Qinghe County, the geographical location is a bit remote, full of lofty mountains and steep cliffs, and between Qinghe County, separated by hundreds of mountains, it is difficult to cross, but it has opened up the trade road. It is precisely because of this that the bandits are rampant, repeatedly prohibited, and even intensified, what is more troublesome is that the mountains stretch endlessly, there are holes in the mountains, and the holes are connected, if you are not familiar with the terrain, it is easy to get lost, so if there is no special way, it seems that there are only thousands of miles of land, but in fact, there are thousands of rivers and mountains, and the road is far away.
And south of the platform, is a big and small city, Nansha City, all day long yellow sand, scarce trees, but there is a precious ore, near the south of Nansha City is Henggang County, is the dragon family among the four major families, the foundation is firm, far away from Kyoto, relying on countless vein ore development, known as the South Dragon vein, the strength is extraordinary.
Platform County, the geographical location is special, connected to the three top forces, is the royal family's battleground, under the forcible suppression of the royal family, the place is recruited into an iron bucket, although the undercurrent is surging, but on the bright side of the face of who also wants to let this platform Hou three points, which is why the Imperial Concubine Yue is still half a mile away, on the fanfare to welcome, and the city is done with a sound and impressive, it is really a pat on the back of the Imperial Concubine Yue. Of course, you must know that this Imperial Concubine Yue is the daughter of the Marquis of Qingyue in Qingyue County, which borders Qinghe County, and her status is noble, in fact, this Marquis of the platform is the emperor's confidant, and she is in collusion with the Marquis of Qingyue, monitoring these three families, so that they cannot get together from end to end, and collude with each other, so as not to cause turmoil.
Ning Que looked at those oily officials happily paying homage to Imperial Concubine Yue, kowtowing, looking like he couldn't get his liver and brain to the ground, a little funny, the person at the head was full of energy, the heavenly court was full, and at first glance he was a practitioner, exuding a torrent of air all over his body, and he was invisibly superior.
"Ghost, you better go back, maybe your mother is waiting for you?" Ning Que looked helpless, although the rose beside him was gorgeous, sexy and graceful, and cute, but it had nothing to do with him, and he was not a person all the way after all.
Ghost Ling'er muttered two thin lips, clasped Ning Que's left arm with both hands, just didn't let go, and said with a grin: "Brother Ning, I will follow you." ”
