Chapter 109: It's all gone
In recent years, earthquakes have occurred frequently everywhere in the world, and even Nanzhao has been shaken twice. Li Linfu died on his way back to Beijing after checking the damage caused by the Qishan earthquake.
But if you want to talk about the earthquake in Zhongnanshan, it is still unexpected, this is the center of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the most stable place in the world that the Chongxuan Department usually proclaims.
But Gu Zuo soon found that this earthquake was very different, the ground crack cut by the big gust of wind began to widen, no, to be precise, it began to be high and low, the inside of the ground crack was rising, and the outside of the ground crack was decreasing, maybe it could not be said to be lowering, it was relatively lower because there was no change.
The dislocation gap is getting bigger and bigger, and the cracks in the ground that stretch and encompass the entire Zhongnan Mountain are getting wider and wider, and the inner mountains are getting higher and higher.
One-foot, three-foot......
One zhang, three zhang, five zhang......
Gu Zuo thought that the dislocation of five zhang high and six zhang high would almost stop, but in fact, this was just his "thought", Zhongnan Mountain was rising high and continued to rise.
Ten zhang, twenty zhang, thirty zhang......
In front of Gu Zuo, a towering cliff was gradually rising, this cliff was not the stone wall that is usually seen, but an earth wall, all fresh soil, with severed tree roots and grass roots in the soil.
Zhongnan Mountain is still rising, fifty zhang, seventy zhang, ninety zhang......
It wasn't until nearly a hundred zhang that Gu Zuo could see clearly, where was Zhongnan Mountain uplifting, and this mountain was flying up in the air above!
The huge mountain range flew into the air, the sound was extremely terrifying, the thunder and lightning in the Taiji yin and yang clouds were staggered, and the wind was raging all around.
Gu Zuo opened his mouth wide, and was shocked beyond measure, what was this doing? Why did Zhongnan Mountain float up? Is this a mountain or a magic weapon?
I saw that Zhongnan Mountain kept rising, and when it was about to touch the Taiji Yin and Yang clouds, it suddenly paused for a few breaths, and then suddenly disappeared into the clouds, and disappeared without a trace.
A little white light flew out in an instant before the mountain disappeared, spun around twice in the air, and then ......
Then he hurriedly threw the jade leaf in Gu Zuo's palm.
Gu Zuo looked at the sky, then at the leaves, continued to look up at the sky, and looked down at the leaves again......
The Taiji Yin and Yang clouds quickly dissipated, and the sky returned to clear white clouds, as if everything was a dream just now, only a huge pit on the ground, dozens of miles long and wide, was showing Gu Zuo: You are not mistaken, everything just now is not a dream.
Zhongnan Mountain is gone, Chongxuan is gone, Baiyun Sect is gone, and the cultivators of all sects in the world seem to be, should, maybe, and are gone......
Gu Zuo sat on the ground with his buttocks, weak.
He suddenly remembered the little bit of white light that flew into the leaves, so he spread it out in front of his eyes to look left and right, front and back, and after looking at it for a long time, he didn't see anything famous, so he couldn't find anything in order to perceive and investigate, and he also found nothing, the spiritual power on the leaves was too rich, and it was like a dazzling bright light in the feedback of the sea of qi, and it was really a bit difficult for a strong man to find a white spot in the strong light.
The leaves didn't seem to have changed much in his perception, Gu Zuo could only put it back into the storage artifact, and then continued to lean over, staring at the big pit more than a hundred feet deep in front of him.
Even the veins of Zhongnan Mountain, the world's No. 1 spirit stone mine, disappeared with the mountain, where did this go? Gu Zuo was a little crazy. He sat on the edge of the big pit for a day and a night, and finally confirmed that the Taoist priests of Zhongnan Mountain and Chongxuan Department would not come back for the time being.
Standing up and riding the Hengyi sword, Gu Zuo returned to Chang'an, full of worries.
Within a few miles of flying, he bumped into two rebel generals who turned back to Chang'an with flying swords, both of whom were Yuan Ying. Gu Zuo had seen one of them, it was the general who searched for him in the formation when he destroyed the ballista, but he didn't know his surname.
Gu Zuo was hit by a greater psychological impact, and his reaction was relatively slow at the moment, and when he came to his senses and planned to escape, the other party suddenly spoke to him, also with a tired face: "They ...... Where did you go?"
Gu Zuo hesitated for a moment, and then replied, "It seems to have flown away." ”
The other party asked again, "Where did you fly to?"
Gu Zuo shook his head: "I don't know either." ”
The other party nodded blankly, he didn't mean to do anything at him, and the two sides flew back to the vicinity of Chang'an together dozens of feet apart.
In front of him was the company camp of the rebels, and the general seemed to remember this and asked, "You are Gu Zuo?"
Gu Zuo hesitated and said, "Yes, dare to ask the surname Gao?"
The other party arched his hand and said: "Jiuyang! I am An Shouzhong, and he is Cai Xide." ”
Gu Zuo also clenched his fists: "Look up for a long time, ......"
An Shouzhong smiled and said, "Master Gu is very capable. ”
Cai Xide next to him didn't speak, and he didn't seem to see Gu Zuo, and he was always depressed.
Gu Zuo asked, "Are you still fighting?"
An Shouzhong sneered: "Is this still a ghost? Your Majesty is gone, the Baiyun Sect is gone, the Chongxuan Department is gone, so many sect masters are gone, who are you fighting for?"
Gu Zuo said: "Maybe in a few days, they will come back?"
An Shouzhong shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it when I come back, I'm going to withdraw my troops, will you chase after me?"
Gu Zuo thought for a while and said, "Remove the country name of the pseudo-Yan, leave Luoyang, and re-submit the table to surrender, I won't chase it." ”
An Shouzhong said: "Dayan's banner can be withdrawn, anyway, Your Majesty is gone, and I won't go to Luoyang, I will take the sons and daughters back to Fanyang directly, as for please surrender or something, don't mention it, our army has not lost, if you want to chase, then chase one and try it." ”
Gu Zuo didn't have the mood to care about these idle things anymore, he was in a mood now, and he was eager to go back to Chang'an, so he didn't have the heart to fight anymore, so he waved his hand, what it meant - whatever you want.
Gu Zuo bypassed the rebel camp, and Chang'an City couldn't enter for the time being, so he went to Longshouyuan Dazhai. His appearance immediately made Dazhai beaming. The news was sent to Chang'an City, and Chang'an City was also thunderous.
The great changes that took place in Zhongnan Mountain, Gu Zuo informed the high-level leaders as soon as possible, and everyone looked at each other and was shocked. Gu Zuo asked Tang Thirteen: "Listening to the wind, the head of the sect flew with Zhongnan Mountain, and I don't know where to fly and when I can return, what are you going to do with the Tang Sect?"
Tang Shisan frowned and said, "Let's go back and ask the ancestor first, what should the Tang Sect do, I can't be the master myself." ”
In the next few days, the hearts of the people in Longshouyuan Dazhai fluctuated, and there were many discussions, and no one had the heart to go out to fight for life and death. The same was true on the rebel side, and the battlefield fell silent.
On the first day of the first month of March, An Shouzhong was the first to pull out the camp and start the village, followed by Cai Xide, Li Guiren, Tian Chengsi and other departments, as well as Shi Siming's Hedong Army.
More than 100,000 rebels withdrew one after another, and the Suzaku Great Array in Chang'an City finally stopped, and Gu Zuo returned to Chang'an.
The first thing he did when he returned to Chang'an was to mobilize the Southern Wu Army to ban the Chongxuan Administration. He personally led people to search, but unfortunately he didn't find anything valuable except for the daily necessities of the Taoist priests. Even in the most important scripture building, all the precious scriptures, exercises, and atlases were moved away by Li Mi, leaving only a cabinet full of goods.
Chang'an City also learned of this major change, Gao Lishi, Chen Xuanli, Yang Guozhong, Li Fuguo, etc. all came to ask for countermeasures, where did Gu Zuo have any countermeasures, just retold the conversation between himself and An Shouzhong, and then instructed everyone to abide by their duties and do their jobs.
Li Heng, the son of heaven, wanted to send troops to pursue, Gu Zuo persuaded: "The vitality of the Hebei Zhen army is not injured, if you really want to fight again, I am afraid that the losses will be very large, since they removed the pseudo-Yanguo and promised to return to Hebei, let's not make more trouble, calm down, recuperate and wait for the future, and figure out the situation." ”
