Chapter 339: The End of the World
Far from the end of the world?
Not far.
People are at the end of the world, how can the end of the world be far away?
Tianya is indeed not far away, Tianya is in the southwest border of Zhongzhou, as long as the sense of direction is not bad, you can always go.
"Tianya" is a small border town, but also a place off the beaten track.
It's more apt to call it a village than a small town.
Because the total number of permanent residents and sporadic merchants in this town is only a hundred, it is probably a little inferior in terms of numbers compared with some ordinary villages.
The town covers an area of ten acres, ten acres away, the sky is connected with the yellow sand, the yellow sand is connected with the sky, this ten acres of land is the largest oasis within a radius of 500 miles.
The altitude of the place where Tianya Town is located is extremely high, so it is already early spring, the town is still cold and windy, and it is now sunset, and the sky over the town is still as bright as day.
Life is always a joke with people, and nature is no exception, just when people think they have adapted to the rhythm of life in a small town, and are accustomed to the different climate, suddenly a thunderbolt falls on a sunny day!
Just seven days ago, something very strange happened in the town.
On that day, it was the time when the sun was three poles, but the sun lost its former glory, and the heaven and earth lost their color until they were dark.
This unusual phenomenon soon caused the few townspeople to go out of their homes and fall on their knees in the face of the sudden storm, praying for a light punishment.
Even if the short shopkeeper, who was called "the smartest in town", came out to tell everyone that this was a sign of the Tengu eating the sun, and that it would only last for an hour from beginning to end, there was no need to worry, and no one dared to get up from the ground easily.
The so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to draft the water, people think that they can live a happy life now, thanks to the oasis of God's gift, life must have awe to live better, how can Huanghuang Tianwei be disrespectful?
It is this awe that has moved the heavens, so that the generations who have lived in Tianya Town have lived a life close to the paradise for a long time afterward. Of course, that's another story.
On that day, at that hour, although it was difficult for the people of Tianya Town to see the day, they could still see five fingers when they stretched out their hands.
And in the same Kunlun realm, thousands of miles away in Xunfeng Valley, there is such a tea kung fu, it is really dark, and the eyes are dark.
It is said that the wind in Xunfeng Valley on that day was stronger than before, and although no heavy rain fell, it could not burn any light.
If that's all, not everyone is afraid of the dark, not to mention that most of the people in the rivers and lakes who lick blood from the knife edge have practiced courage.
However, in the face of darkness, in the face of the unknown, in the face of riots, the spread of panic is indeed incalculable.
Where did the riots come from?
It turned out that there were still people in the dark who managed to ignite the fire.
However, the light in an instant did not bring any sense of security to these Jianghu people, but instead presented a shocking scene in front of them.
There were fires shining all over the valley, and some people saw the people in front of them, either with their necks wiped out, or their arms removed, or disemboweled!
Then all kinds of screams, resentment, angry scolding, and shouts of killing followed.
Everyone raised their swords and swung them at their sides, and if they didn't, they would only be the ones who would be swordsmen.
In just one cup of tea, Xunfeng Valley was full of blood.
When the light gradually returned, the river of blood was still flowing.
Before people had time to regret whether the butcher's knife in their hands had hurt their companions, they were overwhelmed by greater fear.
Dust storm!
The overwhelming sand and gravel seem to be paying for this killing farce.
The dead will be hidden under the loess, and God has prepared a grave for them.
The undead become the dying, and they will be buried here!
On that day, thousands of people from dozens of gangs suffered more than half of the casualties in this natural disaster**!
Why do you say **?
At the critical juncture, there are still many people who are not alarmed.
The hearts of the people were in turmoil, killing each other, and they were powerless to stop it.
But they still found that when the day was just "dark", more than a dozen black shadows were breaking away from the bottom of the valley by means of ropes falling from the sky.
At that time, they finally realized that this was an earth-shattering conspiracy!
Seven days ago, the people of Tianya Town didn't know anything about it.
Now, seven days later, almost everyone in the town knows that something big has happened in Xunfeng Valley, thousands of miles away!
The townspeople are simple, but there is no shortage of wise people who have discovered the clues.
Xunfeng Valley, the valley is like its name, the two winds are heavy, the wind is endless all year round, the climate is slightly different, there must be strong wind in the valley, people and things are difficult to move in the middle.
On that day, the sky and the earth were visionary, the temperature changed suddenly, and there would be a wind in the valley, but where did the sand come from?
More than 300 miles to the east of Xunfeng Valley is Kunlun Mountain, and more than 100 miles to the west is to the "endless sea".
There is a Kunlun faction on Kunlun Mountain, and there is no sea in the "endless sea", but yellow sand in the sky.
People may not be unfamiliar with the road to the Kunlun Sect, but if they are not extremely familiar with the regional situation of this Kunlun Realm, they must not know that there is such a strange geographical phenomenon behind the Kunlun Sect.
I don't know that during the more than 100 miles of road, the vegetation is sparse, and there are often winds and sand.
If this is the case, there will not be sand and dust in the sky, and the valley hundreds of miles away will be covered with thick soil, right?
Unless......
Unless the big and small trees in the hundreds of miles of land are cut down!
Known as "the smartest in town", the short shopkeeper naturally guessed the general reason for this.
But when the fool in the town asked the little shopkeeper who had always taken the trouble to answer people's questions, he was smiling meaningfully, shaking his head, and not knowing anything.
If you don't have bad eyesight, you can see that eleven big characters are written on the face of the short shopkeeper: "You guess if you have the ability, I just don't say it!"
It was as if there were no three hundred taels of silver here, as if he was the mastermind of this matter.
But people can't help but wonder, the smartest person in this town can really influence the weather of heaven and earth thousands of miles away?
If so, what is the motive of the low shopkeeper?
For money?
The short shopkeeper sits on the largest building in Tianya Town, ** Building, although it is not a prosperous business, but it is not difficult to have enough food and clothing.
The dead and injured are all people from the rivers and lakes, and the people of the rivers and lakes are brave and ruthless, but in the final analysis, most of them are forced to embark on the unpredictable road of life and death for their livelihoods, and the short shopkeeper will never get along with these people in the rivers and lakes for money.
For the name?
How can a person who has lived in a small border city for more than ten years be willing to harm the lives of others for the sake of false fame?
For love?
The short shopkeeper looks average, but he is loyal and honest, he is deeply loved by beautiful women, and he accompanies him day and night, and there will never be any love affair that can provoke him to kill in vain.
For revenge?
A person who lives in a corner of peace and has no quarrel with the world, even if there is any blood feud in the past, he has already let go.
The short shopkeeper is always smiling, and when the shopkeeper does not necessarily make money every day, but if he can smile before and after others, it means that this person is very satisfied with his current life.
The short shopkeeper has a pretty daughter-in-law, and she is the shopkeeper of the ** floor, who has a family and a career, and can live and work in peace, it is indeed difficult for people to have any dissatisfaction with life.
In the eyes of everyone, the short shopkeeper seemed to be extremely satisfied with the current state, and he did not have any motive to plan a conspiracy to kill thousands of people.
On this day, the news from afar has not subsided in the town, and the town has welcomed new guests.
Five groups of guests came from the East.
The first guests, the largest number, were twenty-three people in total.
Eighteen of them were dressed in black lining, and at this time when it was warm and cold, they were still wearing such thin clothes, in addition to being healthy, is there any special reason?
The last four groups of guests were much smaller, they were in groups of three or two, and the four groups of people together were only thirteen.
Of course, no matter what the group of guests, they all had exhaustion on their faces, and this exhaustion was beyond their usual expectations, it was the exhaustion of a long journey with little rest.
Could it be that these people have suffered something?
Could it be the survivor who crawled out of the Sunwind Valley?
The people in the town did not dare to make conclusions, and everyone received these foreign guests with due enthusiasm, after all, it is not difficult to see that these people do not even have the strength to speak at this time.
**Lou is the only inn in town.
Five groups of guests also came here without exception.
There are friends from afar who are very happy, not to mention that the guests come to the door, and the short shopkeeper should be smiling, but when he saw the purple-clothed fan boy led by the first batch of guests, although he was still smiling, but the appearance of smiling meat was obviously betraying his inner thoughts.
Although the purple-clothed fan boy is dazzling in the eyes of most people in the town, the short shopkeeper can't help but wring his eyebrows, it seems that this person is the initiator of that thing!
