Although Gu Zuo's reasoning has been very clear, the people who want to leave will never be able to stay, and the next morning, Gu Zuo got the news that the shops of the two sects of Wanqi Valley and Lotus Leaf Cave are closed, and the residents go to the empty building.

Cheng Shanhu said angrily: "Let's go, don't even say hello, something!"

Gu Zuo was busy all night, his face was very tired, and he said silently for a moment: "It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, let him go." ”

Cheng Shanhu was unconvinced: "I can't control it when it's going to rain, and my mother has to ask me if I agree if I want to get married!"

At this time, more than a dozen monks and martial artists from the mine gathered around Gu Zuo's Changshi Academy and bid farewell to Gu Zuo. They had been working in the mines, and they had learned the news a little later than the others, and they were ready to leave.

These people were all recruited by the Huaixian Pavilion, they were not prisoners, nor did they join the Daoguan, they received mining salaries, and they had the right to come and go freely, Gu Zuo was not easy to forcibly stop them, but Wen Yan said: "Now that the beast tide is coming, I don't know how big or small, it is reasonable for you to leave." In any case, thank you for your hard work over the past year, and when the beast tide is over, I still welcome everyone back here. ”

So everyone bowed to Gu Zuo and said goodbye.

The original Taoist chief asked in a low voice: "They haven't taken their salary this month, will they pay it?"

Gu Zuo asked, "Do they want it?"

Yuan Dao Chang nodded: "Understood." ”

After they left, Gu Zuo immediately asked the original Taoist chief to go to the mine to issue a notice, announcing to them the protective means and countermeasures of Nanwu Prefecture, and at the same time ordered that all those who were willing to stay and spend the difficult time with the Huaixian Pavilion would double their salaries from this month onwards, and those who actively contributed during the Beast Tide would then write to the Black Mountain Imperial Law Division in the name of the Southern Wu Prefecture Law Department to redeem their sentences.

After this order was issued, the hearts of the people in the mine were immediately stabilized, and except for the six people who were going to leave, the rest stayed. Especially those prisoners who couldn't leave in the first place, and everyone was excited to hear that as long as they worked hard, they could be pardoned for their sentences.

To be on the safe side, Gu Zuo withdrew all the more than 100 people from the Medicine Garden, Lingtian, and Refined Iron Mine into the "Southern Wu City" and placed them under the protection of the Great Array. Before the relocation, the people were organized to transplant the elixirs planted in the medicine garden, to harvest the spiritual rice that was not yet fully matured in the spiritual fields, and to step up the transportation of the refined iron ore accumulated outside the iron ore into the city.

These days, more and more adventurers have retreated from southern Xinjiang to the north, and in just five days, more than 2,000 people have poured into Southern Wuzhou. Some did not rest or only rested for a day or two before continuing through the state and evacuating north.

Some people stayed, and most of these people were cultivators below the foundation building, and they couldn't fly with magic weapons. There are still more than 200 miles to the north to reach Black Mountain County, and if the beast tide spreads, the mountains of more than 200 miles will become their burial place.

In this way, one batch of one goes one another, like flowing water. On October 16, it ushered in a wave of peaks. Several villages and sects south of Nanwu Prefecture all poured into Nanwu Prefecture, with a total of more than 1,000 in total. They didn't relocate before, they were reluctant to have things at home, and they hoped that this beast tide would not reach here like last time, and now there have been many demon beasts around, and it is too late to retreat north.

Gu Zuo opened the map, compared what they saw and heard, and finally believed that the demon beasts had left the southern Xinjiang region and arrived near Nanwu Prefecture, and the nearest one had rushed to the mountains on the northwest side of Nanwu Prefecture, only thirty miles apart, and was about to block the road to the north.

This is the first proof that the tide of beasts is coming.

The beast tide is determined by uncertainty, from small scale to large scale, and then spreads from not leaving the southern Xinjiang region to the vicinity of Southern Wuzhou, and every step evolves in the worst direction, which really makes Gu Zuo angry, and I don't know how many times he scolded the thief.

Although there is no time to count, the total number of adventurers who poured into Nanwu Prefecture for refuge and the people of the nearby villages within dozens of miles has exceeded 3,000. Fortunately, Sanhe Grain Shop sent 2,000 stone of grain according to Gu Zuo's request - it couldn't be delivered for two days late, and the problem of eating would not bother Gu Zuo for the time being, which became an important guarantee for him to stabilize people's hearts.

There are no Yuanying monks in Nanwu Prefecture, there are a lot of golden pills, and there are Lingyuan Dao Chiefs sitting in the name of Chongxuan Administration, in the panic of the people, the Huaixian Pavilion can still be suppressed for the time being.

In addition to the Lingyuan Daoist, the four Jin Dan, including the butcher of the Huaixian Pavilion, the deacon Shang of the Dongting Sect, the Mo Wu who recuperated from his injuries in the Baihuamen, and the Zhixing Daoist who was sent to vote, became the pillars of maintaining Nanwu Prefecture.

In terms of the backbone, Huaixian Pavilion can directly mobilize more than 20 foundation builders and more than 50 qi refiners led by Chengshan Tiger, Li Gusheng, Yuan Daochang, Liu Xuanji, and Jia Gui, most of which were recruited by Huaixian Pavilion before, and half are the subordinates of the original Taoist of Pingtai Mountain Zhuang and the disciples of Shendanlou, under the current situation, Pingtaishan Zhuangzhuang and Shendanlou have become the most important strategic partners of Huaixian Pavilion.

In addition to the above-mentioned manpower that can be directly mobilized, there are also Hanshan faction, Guchi faction, incense burner gate, and Hongfuguan who are willing to cooperate with Huaixian Pavilion.

Zhao Xianglu originally planned to take people away, but she was a little hesitant, she was a little hesitant to gain or lose whether she would destroy the close relationship she had just established with Gu Zuo, and she was not as decisive as the Lord of Ten Thousand Valleys and the Lotus Leaf Sanren, so she didn't dare to leave now if she wanted to.

In this way, the Huaixian Pavilion is still the most powerful force in Southern Wu Prefecture, but it is imperative to replenish manpower. Before, Cheng Shanhu was asked to recruit the Southern Wu Army, and there were fifty places, but so far there are only more than 20 people in place. Gu Zuo suggested that he concentrate his recruitment targets on adventurers from southern Xinjiang, especially those who are few and lonely, and those who are in pairs of threes and twos, or even those who are alone, are the best recruits.

After changing the recruitment target, Chengshan Tiger's Southern Wu Army was full in one day, and fifty Qi Refiners were also a force that wanted to be good.

That night, the butcher harnessed the double axe and returned from the north entrance, and when he returned, his face was pale and he could not speak. After taking the Wuwei Dihuang Pill and the Essence Preservation Pill, the pranayama took an hour to recover, and after opening his eyes, he immediately explained to Gu Zuo and Cheng Shanhu and the others who were waiting in their eyes: "There are demon beasts in the north, and on the way back, I met a few vultures and were killed by me. ”

The Vulture is a mid-level flying demon beast, and its strength is between Zhuji and Jindan, although the butcher said it lightly, everyone can imagine the fierceness of this fight.

"Is the northbound passage blocked?" asked Liu Xuanji.

The butcher shook his head: "There are scattered demon beasts, but they haven't been blocked yet, and they can still walk, but they are more dangerous." ”

The butcher went to Luofu and Montenegro County to procure, and immediately poured out a large amount of materials from the storage lock. Including ninety-seven sets of various magic armors, more than two hundred swords and magic weapons, a large number of herbs, one thousand eight hundred stone grain, and a lot of golden sands and rune paper - this was prepared for the Lingyuan Daoist, and he was the only one in the entire Southern Wu Prefecture who could draw talismans.

"It cost more than eight thousand in total, and then I couldn't buy it, and the news of the outbreak of the beast tide has reached Luofu City, and no one wants to sell these things. The butcher explained.

Gu Zuo immediately picked out fifty sets of magic armor and fifty magic weapons to Cheng Shanhu: "One set of magic armor per person, send it directly, you put away the magic weapons first, everyone has their own customary magic weapons, there is no need to divide them now, wait for the future to be damaged and then replace them with them, save some use, let's be prepared for long-term response, at least three months." ”

The butcher suddenly remembered: "On the way here, I saw a lot of people rushing to our Nanwu Prefecture, and they may have to enter through the north entrance." ”

Gu Zuo immediately said, "I'll pick it up." ”

The butcher got up: "I'll go with you, fly faster." ”
