Chapter Twenty-Six: We Save Ourselves
The port of Suez was in a mess at this time, countless locals who wanted to leave by boat were isolated by British guns and barbed wire, whenever the barricades were opened, there were always people who wanted to take advantage of the gap to sneak away to the port, which caused a small riot, Pipicia and others were driven off the ship and hugged together, only to break out of this chaos in reverse, sit away from the crowd and gasp.
Everyone understands that the ship can't go back, but what next? Those ordinary Chinese people, whether they were people from the Taiyi Secret Society, all set their eyes on Ling Zhe Lao Dao, and he had the highest status here.
The boat said stiffly, and when he got under the boat, Ling Zhe's face couldn't help but fall.
He is a cultivator, and he can understand the danger of Egypt at this time more than ordinary people, no matter the fire of heaven descends into the world, the red water is poisonous, and the insect plague eats people...... It's all the magic power of the demons, and what a terrible old devil must be the guy who can make the celestial phenomena become such a world-destroying scene?
Anyway, he Lingzhe, with his old arms and legs, can't afford to carry the banner of slaying demons and destroying demons.
But he looked at the expectant eyes of his compatriots around him, and couldn't help sighing, what should he do next!
He couldn't help but look at Pipixia, when he was on the boat, he shouted the most vigorously, asking everyone to get off the boat and keep the "useful body", at this time there was no way anyway, so it was up to him.
"Little Pi, what do you think, can you tell me now?"
Pipicia was observing the surroundings, the city of Port Suez had lost the pressure of the British army, at this time the mob was rampant, there were fires everywhere, near the port area of Port Suez, the locals and the evacuated Europa were pulling each other and confronting each other, a chaotic faction, had completely lost order and turned into anarchy.
But in fact, he did not see the fire falling in the Suez region, nor did he see the terrifying swarm of man-eating insects, and similarly, there were no living dead, except for the fiery red sky reflected in the distance, but the sea water gradually turned blood red was more terrifying.
In other words, the Suez region is not now facing a de facto apocalypse, it is the hearts and minds that are really causing chaos.
He turned to Daoist Lingzhe and told him about these discoveries, and then said: "So, Master Lingzhe, at least for now, the place where we are is actually safe, all the chaos in front of us is scared by people themselves, what we need to do is to inquire and understand what is happening in the distance, instead of blindly following the terrifying atmosphere of the crowd." ”
When Ling Zhe heard this, he also felt that it was very reasonable, he pondered for a while, and said to Pipixia: "That's right, it's true, think about it carefully, in the past few days, the calamity celestial phenomenon has been spreading, but there is still a long distance from here, I estimate, probably this demon is a long-sealed existence, just out of trouble, and the mana is still in the recovery stage." ”
Pipicia gave Lao Dao a thumbs up in his heart, and the other party's speculation based on experience was highly consistent with the information he knew, and it seemed that his guess was more certain.
That's right, although all this happening in Egypt in front of him is a grander scene and more terrifying, since Pipicha already knows that this is the world of gods and ghosts, and speculates based on the time and place, he can determine that the root cause of all this in front of him should be the ancient Egyptian high priest who murdered Pharaoh Seti I and was brutally devoured, but finally woke up and became a terrifying demon, the immortal Immorton.
There is no reason for the cursed Dragon Emperor to exist in Eastern China, and the tortured High Priest does not exist in Egypt!
But this time it was also a coincidence, and the moment when Immorton was making waves happened to be caught up by him, I don't know if it has anything to do with him revealing the location of the Eye of Shangri-La to Yang Shanzhen and the Taiyi Secret Society.
Hell, I don't know if there is any fate, luck, karma cycle and the like in this world! After all, they are all known as legends of gods and ghosts, and there are many secret treasures and relics related to gods, and if there are really gods and ghosts in secret, it is impossible to say.
"Okay, this is indeed good news, but the mana of this demon is obviously still improving, and if it is not removed, it will still be a disaster here sooner or later." Ling Zhe didn't know that Pipixia was thinking about the gods and ghosts, and he was still worried.
Pipisha persuaded: "Let's think on the bright side, since there are demons born, will there be any masters who slay demons and eliminate demons who are also born?" Just as the Taiyi Secret Society has always kept the secret of the resurrection of the First Emperor, the country of Egypt is also a very ancient country, and there may be such an existence. ”
Like the descendants of the pharaoh's guards or something.
"It makes sense, there is never an absolute certainty in the things of this world, since there are demons, there must also be hope to kill demons!" Ling Zhe pinched his beard, looking like a philosophical thinker: "But we can't pin our hopes entirely on the foreigners, in case we are finished before they kill the demons, it is really not worth it...... Alas, in the final analysis, I still have to blame Zhao Weiyang's gang of bastards, who are so irresponsible, despicable and shameless! ”
Pipisha also smiled bitterly when he heard this, he never tried to mix with O'Connor and Evelyn, the "protagonists" of the adventure, after all, only from the terrifying celestial phenomena in Egypt now, you can imagine the horror of Immorton, no matter how good the Golden Sutra of the Sun, the Black Sutra of the Undead, the treasure of the pharaoh and other things are, you have to have a life to get them, and the kung fu, pharmacology and other things learned from Lingzhe Taoist have already satisfied him.
It's a pity that everything in this world is never caused by people, and the innocent is involved, what can you do? I can only hope that I will not be injured by mistake.
"What will happen in the future, we can't say well, but now it is the top priority to appease everyone, at this time, the morale of the army must not be discharged, and once the people's hearts are scattered, the team will not be easy to lead."
When Ling Zhe heard this, as Pipixia's eyes swept away, he found that the crowd was full of frustration and despair, and there were indeed signs of danger, so he patted him on the shoulder: "Then what are you waiting for?" Hurry up! ”
Pipixia nodded, then stood up, quite conspicuous in the crowd sitting on the ground: "Chinese compatriots, we have been shamefully betrayed by the bureaucrats, treated unfairly by foreigners, and put in a dangerous situation, but this does not mean that we really have no way to live!" There is never a real doom in this world, only desperate people who give up hope! We must not give up on ourselves, as long as we still have the courage to save ourselves, we will not perish! ”
Someone standing up at a critical moment can always make people subconsciously hopeful, and the original panic and anxiety heart has calmed down a little, and someone asked a question: "But the foreigners have fled one after another, and we stay here, in the face of such a terrible disaster, isn't it a dead end?" ”
Pipicia laughed, "Who said you want to stay here?" If you look closely, the calamity is still far away, not very close to us, is it? We still have a chance to run, maybe not as fast as a ship, but there is no shortage of livestock around, and there is a chance! ”
When they heard this, they looked around, and it was true, camels, horses, and other great animals, because of the confusion, no one took care of them.
"Besides, are you willing to die in a foreign country like this, and let a bastard like Zhao Weiyang go to Europa to take a spin and continue to be powerful after returning to China?" Pipixia shook the document given to him by the British army: "I'm not reconciled, so I asked for this thing, and I have to find a way to return to China alive, and when the time comes, use this evidence to make Zhao Weiyang's bastards regret their lives in prison!" ”
Everyone's eyes became firm, indeed, why build bridges and roads without corpses, and kill people and set fire to the gold belt? This is not the right way to go! Zhao Weiyang's kind of bastard must be punished severely, so that the anger in everyone's heart can be released! Since you can't catch that bastard and hang the street lamp now, let's keep it useful for the future!
Unconsciously, the panic atmosphere that originally shrouded everyone's heads dissipated a lot, and an emotion called revenge ignited in everyone's hearts.
Pipixia saw that the scene was in good condition, and breathed a sigh of relief, if a person wants to live, he must have a spirit that can support him, the spirit of revenge may not be positive enough, but the effect has always been good, in extreme cases, with the support of the spirit, it is always easier for the crowd to form a joint force to help themselves: "So, everyone, in order to go back to settle accounts with Zhao Weiyang's bastards, we can't give up ourselves!" Do we have to rely on unreliable bureaucrats? No, we save ourselves! ”
