Chapter 125: Rebuilding the City
As the sun set, a flying boat swept by the northwest of Zhaoguo, and scattered the birds that returned late.
On top of the flying boat stood a monk, his thin body standing tall against the blue robe. Thirty-five or sixteen years old, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a beard more than an inch long under the chin, although his face was calm, the anxious look in his eyes could still be seen.
The Twin Towers City is located more than 200 miles north of Zhaoguo Zijun Mountain, and it is already a scorched earth at this time, and there is no trace of the prosperity that was still yesterday. Most of the walls had collapsed, and the houses in the city were even more in ruins, and the inhabitants who had been crying all day seemed to be tired, lying or leaning on each other to rest.
Under the city walls, the monk jumped off the flying boat, and with a gentle pat on the chest, the flying boat shrank like a swallow returning to its nest and flew straight into the man's chest and disappeared.
He walked briskly into the city and walked towards a formation shop in the center of the city that was originally called "Yizhige".
The situation in the center of the city seems to be even worse, as the city's landmark buildings Peak Pagoda and Ying Pagoda, as well as the Peak Wing Annex, located in the center of the two, have become a flat land with a radius of about two miles.
The ground was still flat and smooth, and there were no broken bricks and tiles, and it was obvious that a great mana monk had done it.
However, the land is slightly black, and from time to time there is a hint of black gas, showing a significant difference from other places.
Not far away is the Pavilion of Yi, the courtyard of the two has long been gone, and at this moment there is a man, a woman, and a young man looking for something in the ruins.
"Brother Wu Gang, it's okay for you to be fine. The monk patted the old man lightly and said.
The old man turned his head and saw the monk, tears suddenly welled up, and he choked up and said, "Shopkeeper Shi, the Yizhi Pavilion is gone." ”
That monk was Shi An, who had just rushed back from the Four Elephants, and he hurried back to complete the instructions of the pure abbot, and arrange a formation as soon as possible that could suppress the black demonic qi that was constantly gushing out.
Shi An smiled faintly and said: "If you don't have it, build another one, as long as there are people." ”
Wu Gang said repeatedly: "Everyone is here, everyone is here, Lao Li, Zhang Quan and the guys are all good, don't worry." Just now it was me and Tingyu looking for the plaque of our shop. Shopkeeper Shi, what the hell is going on with this explosion?"
"This explosion was caused by Yuan Daozi's self-explosion of the Jin Dan in the Fengying Courtyard last night, and the power of the self-explosion of the Jiedan monk was too great, and it was also thanks to the fact that there was a net side of the abbot who arranged the formation in advance to isolate it, and even this destroyed more than half of the city. Brother Wu Gang, the top priority now is not to reopen the Yi Pavilion, but to rebuild the Twin Towers City. By the way, were there many casualties in the city last night?"
"Last night's fighting happened very early, most of the residents of the city had not yet slept, and most of them ran out to see the excitement when they heard the movement, and there were very few people left in the house when the explosion occurred, so even if the house collapsed, there were not too many deaths, but many were injured. All day today, the Jingyi abbot of Fengying Courtyard was leveling the ruins of the collapse of the twin towers, while the other monks were overtaking the dead for the deceased. They just left before you returned. ”
"Are the guys all in the city?" asked Shi An.
"They didn't dare to leave, they were afraid that they would reopen soon, and once they left, it would be too difficult to find such a good job, so would they be called back now?"
"Well, go ahead, we still have a lot of work to do tomorrow morning. ”
"Do you need to find some more masons? They can't do this house-building job. ”
"Don't use it yet, we will set up a big array in the next two days tomorrow to suppress the demonic energy that is constantly pouring out here, go quickly. Shi An sent the father and daughter away, found a secluded place and entered the Cave Stone.
There are many suppression formations from the spirit world in the "Continuation of the Formation Tips", and there are also many suppression formations from the spirit world.
Shi An carefully selected a "evil spirit-warding array" that was not complicated in arrangement and also had good results, and after a slight transformation, he drew a sketch of the formation covering a two-mile radius, and carefully studied the specific implementation steps for managing this formation in the future, so that he could enter the spirit gathering array to cultivate with peace of mind.
Wu Gang's work efficiency was very high, and when Shi An appeared the next day, twenty-six men had already gathered in front of the old site of Yizhi Pavilion.
Looking at the familiar faces, Shi An cleared his throat and said: "Brothers, everyone knows that three thousand four hundred years ago, this was a quiet village, where people lived a quiet life from sunrise to sunset. But with a vicious battle between the two great monks, the wind and clouds changed, the heavens and the earth collapsed, the corpses were floating for hundreds of miles, and the mourning was everywhere, and this place became a ruin, a barren land. ”
"Decades later, under the leadership of a Buddhist monk and the unremitting efforts of many monks and mortals, it was revitalized and gradually transformed into a huge city with beautiful scenery, abundant aura, good inhabitants, and abundant goods, and people lived and worked here in peace and contentment for more than 3,000 years. But the night before yesterday, a monk blew himself up, causing unprecedented damage to this beautiful city, displacing people, closing all businesses, and the prosperity and bustle of the past no longer existed. ”
"We are all monks, we are all craftsmen, we don't have to worry about not being able to live, so we can pat ourselves on the back and leave, give up the city, and let it come and go with the wind, but what about the mortal inhabitants here, their livelihood is all about this, can we also start from scratch again, like our predecessors, and build a city of twin towers for all people again, and revive the glory of the past. Speaking of which, Shi settled for a moment.
Most people will consciously or unconsciously choose the former, so they will become ordinary people without any edges and corners, but there will also be people who are firm and almost stubborn in choosing the latter. Although there are few such people, they can win the admiration of everyone. Monks are a group of people who go against the heavens, and if they only follow their nature instead of the Dao heart, then chasing the Heavenly Dao will only be an ethereal phantom. So, ladies and gentlemen, are we going to be warriors who fight through stormy waters and not sink, or are we cowards who can drown even in calm times?"
The passion of the crowd was ignited, "Be a warrior, rebuild the Twin Towers, revive the glory of the past! We are the pioneers of the new generation!" I don't know who shouted first, and then everyone present followed him and raised their arms and shouted.
"Okay, since everyone is willing to stay," Shi An also calmed down the excitement in his heart and said, "Then we have to do what we can for this." With the concerted efforts of everyone, after more than ten years of work, Yizhige has become an important member of the Twin Towers City, and will become the backbone of the reconstruction of the Twin Towers City for a period of time in the future. ”
"But today, I have to say, this is the last time I'll talk to you as the treasurer of the Pavilion," he paused again, suppressing the dampness in the corners of his eyes.
Hearing this, Wu Gang and the others were stunned, only to hear Shi An continue: "Although there is too much reluctance and helplessness, there is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed, because of something that I have to do for me, I have to leave this place for a while, so the future Yizhi Pavilion will rely on you to continue to work hard." Before leaving, I will work with you to set up a large array to suppress demonic energy, as the last thing I can do for the Twin Towers. I've already prepared a sketch of the formation, and we'll start laying it out right away, and then it's up to you to help the residents rebuild their homes and rebuild the Pavilion. So saying, he bowed deeply to the people.
He turned to Wu Gang and hugged his fists and said: "Brother Wu Gang, you will be the shopkeeper of Yizhi Pavilion in the future, I know that you will definitely treat your brothers well, and I also hope that Yizhi Pavilion can do its best to rebuild the Twin Towers City, please!"
Wu Gang had already burst into tears, his trembling mouth opened and closed several times, and finally said a complete sentence: "Shopkeeper, I, Wu Gang, have been given by you today, no matter what you say, I will always be the second shopkeeper of Yizhige, and I will definitely do my best to complete what you explained." ”
Shi An didn't say anything more, he patted Wu Gang on the shoulder, turned to Zhang Quan and said, "Uncle Quan, hurry up and build the foundation, and go back to Sixiang to watch Uncle Yuan Miao when you have time, I still can't rest assured of him." ”
Zhang Quan was silent, but Shi An saw his promise in his determined gaze.
Without saying anything else, Shi An patted his chest and took out the sketch from the Dongtian Stone, refining the entire formation work and implementing it on everyone's heads.
In less than two days, the big array was set up.
Seeing that there was no longer an obvious black gas overflowing, Shi An's heart settled down.
