Chapter 206: Do what you can
"That's the price."
Qin Chuancheng wrapped those scales with bandages again, and his voice was complicated.
After bearing too much qi and blood that does not belong to him, he is almost no longer human, except for barely maintaining his human form.
No wonder he wrapped himself all in, leaving only one pair of eyes bareβeven his eyes were blood-red, like blood diamonds.
He has indeed crossed the limit of the grandmaster's longevity, but it is difficult to say whether he is still a human being or not.
"This bone does contain the blood of the witch."
Qing Pingzi is extremely determined, "Shouyuan is extremely long, and his divine power is natural, and he imperceptibly transforms other creatures. This is the sign of the Witch's bloodline! β
Legend has it that witches can create new creatures, and even humans are created by witches.
Every metaphor in mythology, down to the level of reality, represents a power that is unimaginable to mortals.
A single scattered bone can give birth to a grandmaster, or even transform a grandmaster. This is only left by the demon beasts that contain the blood of witches in the Jindan period, and it is unimaginable how powerful the real witches were in the past!
"It can't be just good, no harm, right?"
Gu Dan seems to have noticed, as a great grandmaster with superb medical skills and martial arts attainments who have also reached the peak of the earthly world, he understands a truth very well.
The gift of strength must have a cause!
Qin Chuancheng successfully crossed the Grandmaster Limit through this bone, so what is the price?
"The disadvantage is extreme drowsiness, rarely waking up, and when facing it, there is no resistance at all, and there is no resistance at all. Its breath alone is enough to make me tremble. β
Qin Chuancheng pointed to the bone and said calmly: "I have to sleep at least six hours a day, and sometimes it will be longer." Speaking of which, Shou Yuan crossed the upper limit of the grandmaster, but in terms of the time of awakening, it was just a long time to drag it back. β
Qing Pingzi was thoughtful.
Under normal circumstances, there is no problem for a grandmaster to go without sleep for a few days and nights, even if he has to repair, he is still refreshed after a night's rest.
Sleepiness like this, somewhat similar to hibernation, simply stores life temporarily, forcibly stretches it, rather than directly increasing one's longevity.
As for the mind of not resisting in the face of this bone, the problem is not big now, after all, it is just a bone, there is no danger if you can watch it, and it doesn't matter if you can resist if you can't see it, it is not too much trouble.
The biggest advantage of eliminating the problem of being constrained by bones is that the thickness of life can be weakened and the length of life increased, at the cost of not being like a human body.
Under normal circumstances, this thing is quite chicken, and the slight increase in combat power brought by it can't crush the grandmaster, and the side effects are quite big.
But now, the immortals will return!
If there is not much life expectancy, you may be able to survive until the immortals come into the world through this method.
In this way, there is still hope of reversing it with the immortal method.
Of course, it is also possible to be touched by immortals, and before they have time to defend themselves, they will be directly killed as evil demons.
"This thing"
Gu Dan shook his head, slightly disappointed.
This thing is amazing, it's amazing.
But almost useless for him.
His Shou Yuan didn't need to use this method at all, let alone the side effects there, and he wouldn't consider it at all.
"No matter what, this thing is a bone in the Jindan stage, close to the Yuan Infant stage, and it also contains its origin essence blood.
Direct absorption will lead to its own abnormalities, but if you comprehend the wonderful method according to the principle of its operation, with your talents, you may not be able to gain something. β
Qing Pingzi said immediately.
When Qin Chuancheng heard Qing Pingzi's proposal, he kept silent, without any objections at all.
The other party has shown unrivaled strength, and if you give face, it is called consultation, and if you don't give face, Dayong is still not there.
Concession is sometimes an option, at least not too aggressive.
"It's a good thing."
Gu Dan nodded slightly, this bone could not directly increase his combat power for him, but his combat power did not need to be increased in the mortal world.
Is there any big difference between slaughtering six grandmasters in one go and eight grandmasters?
Left and right are sweeping.
If you can feel something with the help of this bone containing the blood of the witch, it is not necessarily worse than a direct increase in combat power.
But that's not the priority.
"Do you know why I came to Dayong?"
Gu Dan asked.
"I heard that you are a close friend of Moqiu, presumably because of the big moon incident?"
Qin Chuancheng didn't dare to slack off half a point, "What conditions do you have, Dayong will do everything possible to meet them, and there will be no half-point difference." β
As the eldest of the countries that had built the country after the Grandmaster's calamity, Qin Chuancheng deeply understood the horror of power.
Unless Gu Dan is not prepared to let Dayong's people live, he will have to endure the pain of his skin and cut off his arms, and he must also endure it.
Personal power has reached such a level that it has transcended the ordinary, and the so-called imperial power will also bow down and be a cow and a horse.
Gu was worried that he had already had a draft, and said without hesitation at this time: "I want to know the specific situation of Dayong's treasury, as well as the limit of the resources and manpower that Dayong can mobilize." β
"This"
Qin Chuancheng was stunned, this wouldn't be to directly wipe out the whole country of Dayong, right?
The lion can't swallow it all in one sitting!
"Questions?"
Gu Dan's expression did not change in the slightest, only his voice carried an undoubted determination.
It's not a discussion, it's an order.
Just like when the Four-Nation Alliance conquered Dayue, there was no need to negotiate, and now it has come time for Dayong to be a fish and meat.
If he agrees, Dayong is afraid that the national strength will be greatly damaged, and it will take decades of recuperation before it is possible to recover.
Disagree. That's still it.
"No problem!"
Just hesitated for a moment, Qin Chuancheng nodded very heartily in agreement, but still said: "These things, it will take some time to count."
"Yes."
Gu Dan didn't continue to press, and looked up at the sky, although the sun was shining on him, there was no temperature at all, and winter had arrived.
So Gu Dan added: "Some of Dayong's soldiers and horses in Dayue will be withdrawn first, and the remaining part of the people will stay to deal with the matter after the source river bursts. β
"Okay."
This time he didn't even need to think, Qin Chuancheng agreed.
Winter is not suitable for the use of troops, otherwise the attrition brought by the cold climate is probably not less than the number of people killed in battle, and it is also a great test for logistics.
If there are fewer people, there will be less consumption, after all, winter is inconvenient for ordinary people.
His attitude made Gu Dan very satisfied, so he said the last condition, "The emperor of Dayong, change one." You can choose a new one yourself, but this one, you have to abdicate after the edict, you know what I mean, right? β
"I see."
Qin Chuancheng seemed to have some understanding.
Friends of Inkhills, Friends of Inkhills!
Even the name was reluctant to stay, but these demands were made.
So how far does Moqiu's virtue have to be cultivated to make such a close friend?
"Next time I come over, I hope Dayong has everything ready. Of course, if you want to fight again, you can't do it."
Gu Dan said calmly: "At that time, Dayong can also be removed." β
Qin Chuancheng lowered his head deeply and expressed his attitude silently.
"Let's go."
Gu Dan beckoned and motioned for Qing Pingzi to follow.
The four kingdoms have to go to the last time, so that their royal family, their grandmasters, understand that times have changed.
"Dare to ask if you have been to Daqi?"
Seeing that Gu Dan was about to leave, Qin Chuancheng took the initiative to ask.
"Oh?"
Gu Dan turned around, "It's not over yet." β
"I have a token here, when you go to the Great Prayer, if their Grandmaster wants to stop it, you can take it out directly. While this isn't necessary for you, it can also help them back down and reduce some casualties. β
Qin Chuancheng took out a broken dragon pattern jade pendant and hurriedly said.
"Among the Great Prayer Sect Masters, there are people from Dayong?"
As soon as he heard this, Gu Dan understood what was going on.
Unexpectedly, thirteen grandmasters were not the limit of Dayong, and there was still the strength to install grandmasters in other countries.
This is not a simple matter, and if a foreign grandmaster wants to gain the trust of the royal family, it will be difficult to imagine.
"Ahem, Da Qi has always been arrogant and domineering, just a secret move, just in case of emergency."
Qin Chuancheng said with some embarrassment.
Before encountering Gu Dan, the Grandmaster can influence the direction of a country.
But since he has met Gu Dan, the grandmaster is just a grandmaster, and he can't turn over too much wind and waves, and it makes no difference whether he is latent or not.
Because what the grandmaster said, now it also depends on what the other person means.
After witnessing Gu Dan's achievements, I am afraid that no grandmaster will want to touch him again.
"I see."
Dayue, Yuzhou.
Wang Mang is very busy.
Before Gu Dan left, let him do his best to collect the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, stabilize the situation in Yuzhou, and save the victims.
It's just a few words, but when it comes to the facts, it's an endless amount of trouble.
But the biggest problem at present is the shortage of manpower and materials.
The White Lotus Sect has been plowed by the Great Moon Army, and although there are not very few people left, it is okay for them to fight, but their ability to treat disasters and rectify people's livelihood is much worse, not to mention the ability to help the people through the world, and it is almost impossible to count on it.
And the number of ink scholars was not large, and they were washed away by the flood again, and it was difficult to gather in a short period of time.
Fortunately, he is not alone.
The White Lotus Holy Maiden Xu Wanrong, the new master of the Mo family, Yu Lisheng, and Xun Ke, and even Qing Pingzi's apprentices Zou Dan and Zhuang Sheng are also helping, each leading some people to deal with miscellaneous matters.
It can be regarded as barely maintaining the situation.
But the lack of materials is really helpless.
Yuzhou is the granary of the big moon, so a disaster, the damage is not counted, and it is winter, where does the food come from?
The more people saved, the less food there is.
Seeing that with the postponement of the flood disaster and the number of people saved, Wang Mang's brows became more and more wrinkled.
If you save it again, the food will not be able to hold up.
Food is just one of them.
In winter, the cold is coming, and the houses that have been washed by the flood have decided to be uninhabitable, and those who have gathered in the disaster can only struggle on both sides of the street, waiting for porridge and rice twice a day.
When the first winter snow comes, I don't know how many people will be frozen to death.
"Wang Lang. The news has spread, and many people have taken refuge in our side during this time. β
The White Lotus Holy Maiden Xu Wanrong walked over with a pale face and a haggard voice.
"That's good."
Wang Mang's eyes were full of bloodshots, and he hadn't had a good rest for more than ten days, even the bodies of those who practiced dirty Dacheng martial artists began to protest, but he still tried to cheer up his spirits, and said non-stop: "Those who come, don't be idle." Winter is coming soon, and it is difficult to build a house, and there is no time to build it. But the shed must be built quickly, and there must always be a shelter from the wind and rain. It must be before the first snow.
Sheds are not built for others, they are for them to live in! Let them all have snacks, and you can't save your energy at this time. Most of our men were sent out to save people, and those victims had to give them a full meal, so they had to be busy, and when they were busy, they didn't have the heart to think about it. β
In order to collect the victims as soon as possible, the name of the White Lotus Sect could not be used, and Wang Mang did not hesitate to play the banner of Moqiu and the Mo family.
It is claimed that the Mo family has settled here in Yuzhou, and will provide disaster relief and rescue people, and any people in the Great Moon Kingdom who need help can come and ask for help.
Inkhill's accumulated fame is finally of great use.
Akino Village was no longer able to live in the village for a short time, and their men and horses had been evacuated to a place called Wang'an County, which was quite high, so the flood had little impact on it, and there was also a place to collect the victims.
As the person who took care of the handpick, Wang Mang did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and could only repeat what he had said countless times over and over again, and try his best to maintain the basic order.
"Wang Lang."
Pursing her dry lips, Xu Wanrong grabbed Wang Mang's hand.
"How?"
Wang Mang turned his head sideways and asked a little anxiously.
"I can't take people anymore. Grain. Food can only last for ten days, and saving some may last for a month. But if there are more people coming, ten days will not be enough. β
Xu Wanrong said weakly.
The flood came too quickly, and the granary of the White Lotus Sect was also affected, and the loss was great.
Although there are still some surviving granaries under the three caves of the cunning rabbit, in order to appease people's hearts, Wang Mang will let them eat enough to show their attitude and maintain order, and the consumption rate of food can be described as fast.
The hearts of the people have indeed been appeased, but there is nowhere to replenish the shortfall of food.
Could it be that he continued to do the old business of the White Lotus Sect, shouted and raised his sword and led the refugees to rush and kill and rob the food of the imperial court?
Let's not talk about whether this idea is reliable in the winter, and if it can't be in time, what should we do if we just talk about disaster relief?
It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice!
Wang Mang's lips opened slightly, a thousand words were stuck in his throat, and after a while, his bloodshot eyes became fierce, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Receive, continue to receive!" β
"Wang Lang?"
Xu Wanrong said puzzledly: "Now is not the time to be soft-hearted, if it goes on like this, we can't hold it anymore." β
"It's not soft-hearted, it's not soft-hearted."
Wang Mang gritted his teeth, "Have you forgotten what Brother Gu said before leaving?" Do whatever it takes, do your best to save people, and do everything you can to the best you can. β
"Brother Gu."
Xu Wanrong was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Even if Mr. Gu's strength is very strong, he can make the four countries retreat. But this is only a dozen days, and it may not be too late to hurry, where can it be so fast? If our side can't support it first, what will we do then? You can't let everyone starve to death! β
"No, no."
Wang Mang shook his head, "That's not the case. This time it is the banner of the Mo family and the fame of Mozi. We can only do the best we can, and we must not leave it in the dust. There is no more selection and less selection, you can only go to the black one way, otherwise Yuzhou will stop here!
It is difficult to win the hearts and minds of the people, but it is very quick to lose the hearts of the people. Now is a time when people's hearts are uncertain, and the news we have here can give some hope to those who have been affected by the disaster but have not yet come to their senses.
Once we show that we will no longer accept it here, the outside world will be completely rotten! There is no hope and there is no hope, there is absolutely no difference! β
