Chapter 789: Goodbye Old Man
What's more, before Yingchen entered the eye of the Blood Sacrifice Array, once her body was completely transformed by the King of Youdu, after refining the Blood Saint, Sun Jiuli had seen her once, and she was no different from a living person, and there was no difference from Wei Junyao in the slightest.
I could feel his concern when he said that, and I knew why he was worried.
But to this day, just relying on a person who looks like Wei Junyao is like cholera in battle, this is unlikely, unless her strength far surpasses mine, and she is also cultivating the method in the Heavenly Book Ghost Scroll, so trying to use these against me is tantamount to a fool's dream.
But on the other hand, judging from Yunxi's eldest brother and Shuofang City's lingering dust, when the King of Youdu devoted himself to excavating the graves of the gods, he did not leave a backhand against me, he should have guessed that I might take advantage of the situation and go straight to Huanglong, but I just don't know what kind of realm this woman who once craved power and power to the point where she could give everything is now.
The water of the Yellow River has been stained with blood, a scarlet color, and the Nine Prisons and Nine Springs flow into Shuofang City, and then run through the entire Yellow River Ancient Road.
After leaving Yunxi and heading north, the situation on the ground began to become more and more miserable.
There is not a completed city, and there is not a living person in sight.
Bloody corpses strewn everywhere, gnawing at the limbs of their dead companions.
The earth sinks, and the people are slaughtered.
Further north, however, the situation has taken a diametrically opposite turn.
Almost everything I could see was the same as it was before I left Luoyan Town.
Ancient buildings and cities, people living and working in peace and contentment......
The river wind that permeated the air, when I arrived here, seemed to have completely entered another world.
No gunpowder smoke and war, no blood sacrifice array, no killing, no *......
The figures of the three of them stopped at this point, and Ruyi and I glanced at each other, both of us seeing shock and incomprehension in each other's eyes.
At this time, on the ground below us, there is a small town, and even at high altitude, you can see the figures in the town, including the sound of shouting and selling, and the curling smoke wafting from the roof chimney, giving people the feeling of accidentally passing through the vortex of time and space and returning to a long time ago.
"It's all dry from the dust."
Sun Jiuli suddenly said on the side.
"What do you mean?"
"This woman's desire for power sometimes outweighs her desire for power." Sun Jiuli said with a sigh. "After returning to Shuofang City, he passed by all the way and found that almost all the people in the surrounding towns were dead, so he said that although he had become the master of the ancient road, it was no longer interesting to just care about some blood saints and demon lords, so he let the people under his hands start to arrest people everywhere, catch the living people, and capture them to more than a dozen towns near Shuofang City, let them live here, and be protected by the demon army to become her people."
Ruyi and I looked at each other when we heard this, and we couldn't cry or laugh for a while.
Lingering Chen's desire to control power is really beyond our expectations, it has reached an unbelievable point, but this kind of habit can be regarded as an indirect good thing, at least these hundreds of thousands of people have not been reduced to the blood of blood sacrifices, and they can still live in peace under the protection of the demon army, which is also a rare fortunate thing in this troubled world.
"But is it as simple as letting them live like this?" I asked, puzzled.
"Of course not." Sun Jiuli suddenly laughed. "In addition to keeping them alive, these people also ask Shuofang City to worship Yingchen once a month, and whoever doesn't go will be directly killed by the demon army."
"That'......," I laughed. Isn't the scene of worship spectacular? ”
"It's not just spectacular, more than 100,000 people surrounded Shuofang City, and they were not allowed to enter the city, and they surrounded the entire Shuofang City, and they couldn't leave until dawn the next day." Sun Jiuli shook his head and said. Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with Hingchen's behavior.
While the two were talking, they saw that the town under their feet began to pour into a large number of demon armies.
"What's going on?" I frowned.
A large number of demon lords who were guarding outside the town poured into the town, and began to gather all the people together, and those who walked in the streets, and those whose families were driven over, were all driven to the riverside at the mouth of the town, and not only did several large boats stop by the river, but the town, which was still very lively, was suddenly quiet, and everyone was driven to the boat, and then the big ship set off immediately.
Seeing this, I seemed to understand, and then said to Sun Jiuli: "Is it time for worship?" ”
Sun Jiuli nodded. "Looking at the formation, it should be time."
Then he looked at me and asked in surprise, "You don't want to go to Shuofang City with them, do you?" ”
I nodded. "Take a downwind boat and maybe there will be a windfall."
The demon army escorting the people in the town are all low-level demons, and the perception of breath fluctuations is almost zero, Ruyi and I chose to land on the stern of the boat when the boat was fast, and instantly killed the two guards of the demons, and quietly blended into the crowd.
But just when the two of us got into the crowd and didn't see the situation on the boat clearly, we suddenly heard someone shouting behind us: "Bai Xiaoyi? ”
At that time, my soul was almost bursting out of my throat, and my soul power was condensed in my palm almost at the same time, and when I looked back, I saw a person standing in the crowd behind me.
A woman.
Although he was wearing a red robe, his clothes were covered with patches, patches after patches, and almost none of them were good, but this face was extremely eye-catching in the crowd.
In particular, those eyes, like an iceberg that would not melt for thousands of years, began to melt.
"Auntie?"
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it, and I looked at the eldest aunt in front of me in amazement, and I didn't relax for a long time.
Since the catastrophe, after we rescued the eldest aunt from the pursuers in Yunxi, she has been in a state of delirium, and we have not found a way to cure it, but we lost her whereabouts because of the fall of Luoyan Town, for which Aunt Seven was sad for a long time, but she would never have thought that at this time, in this place, she could actually meet her!
There were a lot of people between the two of them, and seeing that she seemed to want to call me again, I hurriedly made a silent cleanup, and together with Ruyi, pushed away the crowd and came to her side.
All around were the people in the town who were arrested and went to Shuofang City to worship, it was not convenient to speak, after looking around, the three of them came to a corner with few people, and then lowered their voices and said to the eldest aunt: "Why are you here?" ”
The eldest aunt also looked at me and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
I can't explain my affairs to her for a while, I guess the eldest aunt is the same, after thinking about it, I said to her: "Don't worry about these for now, from now on, you have to follow me every step of the way, and when the matter in Shuofang City is over, I will send you to see Aunt Seventh and them." ”
"Teacher, junior sister?"
Seeing the eldest aunt's black and white eyes flickering, I said to her: "Don't worry, they are safe now, and I will send you to see them as soon as the matter here is over, but before that, you have to tell me, what is going on with this worship?" ”
The eldest aunt's mood fluctuated a little, she took a deep breath, and then slowly spoke: "The so-called pilgrimage is actually for us, the survivors, to go to the outside of Shuofang City at the specified time every month to worship the Lingering Blood Saint, and to worship in the way they prescribed. ”
"In what way?" I asked.
"It's a very simple three-bow and nine-knock." The eldest aunt said. "It's just that the day is repeated, and many people can't hold on, and there are many people who die outside the city walls on the spot every time they worship, so now people feel very scared when they come to the day of worship."
I nodded, and immediately probed my divine sense into my eldest aunt's body.
"What's wrong?" My aunt looked at me puzzled.
I also looked at her in confusion, and found that my eldest aunt didn't seem to feel any temptation of my divine sense, and at the same time, I was secretly frightened that my eldest aunt had not cultivated.
