Chapter 276: Shanghua City
Yang Quan had only been in Shanghua City for two days, but he still couldn't wait for news from the Shang Alliance, so he decided to go to the north first.
Shanghua City has become an important town for the major sects to gather at this time, and the original city is much larger, and you can see the disciples of various sects traveling in line everywhere on the street, and you can also see a lot of loose cultivation with cold faces, and almost all places in the city have been requisitioned by the major sects.
Set up the retreat and hurried north, and soon passed through the defensive line. This place he had passed through was all inhabited by mortals, and the villages and cities were dotted with each other, and from the air he could see a large area of crops, which was very rich.
However, looking at the past now, it is a different scene, whether it is a city or a small village, the buildings are somewhat withered and people can't see a single one, and the original fertile land is overgrown with weeds at this time.
"Mortals living here should be fine... Most of them have moved to Zhongzhou. Yang Quan thought in his heart, it was so close to the defense line, someone should have informed them to move away, there were not many traces of demon beasts raging in this place after all.
Continuing to walk towards the north, my mood became more and more heavy, and not long after I crossed the defense line, the situation deteriorated sharply, whether the city or the countryside was destroyed by the demon beasts, the traces of the destruction were obvious, and occasionally you could see some scattered homeless people, and they were still walking south, these were relatively lucky, at least they survived.
These displaced people are few in number, often acting alone, and it is rare to see people in groups, and some fall as they walk. Yang Quan stopped and looked at it, it was a very young man, but he was skinny and had a sad face, and he was already out of breath the moment he fell, maybe he had already run out of gas.
Although he had only flown for a day, he had only been able to see a few wanderers because of his speed, and how many mortals should have lived in this area.
There was a lonely dragon boat passing by in the air, and when he saw a few homeless people around, he stopped, and someone drove the light to bring people to the dragon boat, Yang Quan was slightly stunned after seeing it, this is to collect the homeless, that is, to save people?
"Before... Senior!"
A foundation building monk came to Yang Quan's side, only then did he discover Yang Quan's specific cultivation, hurriedly saluted, and then looked at the person on the ground.
"It's dead. Yang Quan said: "Are you gathering the displaced people and preparing to take them to Zhongzhou?"
The foundation building period monk was very young, and when he heard this, he immediately nodded vigorously and said, "That's right, senior!"
Yang Quan nodded, took out some spirit stones and gave them to the monk, and said, "Very good." Then he set up a retreat and continued northward.
In the next few days, Yang Quan did not meet the monks again, and occasionally encountered some homeless people, and he mostly gave the other party a breath of essence, so that the other party had the strength to continue south.
The homeless people who can still survive at this time are basically young and middle-aged, and two days later, Yang Quan, after killing the first demon beast he encountered, met another homeless, and this homeless person made Yang Quan angry and almost slapped to death with a palm.
This is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, thin and dirty, but judging from the movements when walking, there is still some strength, and what makes Yang Quan angry is that he is holding a jumping human hand, eating and walking.
Yang Quan silently stood in front of him and asked, "What do you eat again?"
As if he hadn't heard, the young man numbly continued his actions just now, he bypassed the place blocked by Yang Quan, and only said in a very weak voice when he wiped his body: "My brother's meat..."
Yang Quan's divine sense saw the other party's state clearly, and it was only a little better than the state of checkmate, probably because of the things he ate in his stomach, if it weren't for those things, he might have died.
Yang Quan was speechless, could he say anything more high-sounding words at this time?
"We said okay... Who died... The other one is going to eat it... There has to be a man to live..."
The young man staggered, a pair of straw sandals under his feet had long been torn, and the thin soles of his feet were cracked with many lines, mixed with blood, he stopped beside Yang Quan and asked aloud, "You are an immortal, right?"
"Why are those horrible monsters... will appear in my homeland..."
Yang Quan was silent, there were many reasons, the Heavenly Court collapsed, so it led to this result, but how do you say this to a mortal?
"Before... We mortals have worked hard for generations, paid our taxes, and you have taken the best of the land... Your Immortal Sect will eventually take the lion's head... My father told me that because of you immortals, we can live and work in peace..."
It is very common for immortal cultivators to oppress mortals in this world, and it is not as some people think, thinking that what effect does the millet rice grown by mortals have on immortal cultivators? Although the reason is very complicated, it is actually really useful. The exchange between ordinary grains and spirit stones was only a few turns of different levels.
"I don't know..."Yang Quan sighed and said, "Put down your brother's bones and try to live." ”
A mouthful of essence was crossed to the other party, and Yang Quan said: "There are monks who drive flying dragon boats, collecting living people and sending them to Zhongzhou, you continue to go south, the further south you go, the greater the chance of encountering them." ”
It's still a long way from Zhongzhou, at least for mortals, and if he walks on his own, I'm afraid it will take years to get there.
The young man's stomach was still empty, but the strength on his body had recovered a lot, which shocked his spirits, and he looked at Yang Quan and said, "I thought... You're going to be angry and kill me or leave me alone. ”
"We've met the flying boat you mentioned. The young man was in rags and couldn't even hide his body, but there was a special spirit supporting him.
"I asked the question I just asked you. The boy paused and said, "So we were put down..."
Yang Quan looked back at the other party calmly, personally, he didn't owe anyone except for a few people, what this young man said was the exploitation between immortal cultivators and mortals in this world, so he really couldn't escape.
"So you think that being an immortal cultivator owes you?" Yang Quan said calmly: "You can think so, that's your right. ”
Driving the retreat Yang Spring to the north, the area he passed, the number of demon beasts was not much, and the chance of this young man surviving was still not small, as long as he didn't have to fight again.
He didn't look back, and his mind couldn't help but snort softly when he saw the young man looking at him with a very hateful gaze.
He went all the way north, killed demon beasts when he encountered them, and tried to help them when he encountered homeless people, but no matter how strong his origin was, he couldn't stand it when he frequently crossed his essence.
After thinking about it for a while, Yang Quan sacrificed his dragon boat, and also began to collect the homeless people to transport them back, and the essence of the crossing also stopped, and after encountering the homeless, he refined the flesh and blood of the demon beasts he killed and distributed them to them.
This demon beast is not small, and after Yang Quan roasted it, he filled several storage bags, enough for a boatload of people to eat. The area he is in now is not bad, not very far from the defense line, and there are not many demon beasts running here.
It took half a month, Yang Quan only found nearly a hundred homeless people, it seems that there are only a few who can escape from the hands of demon beasts, so he has run a large range.
With the collected homeless people, Yang Quan returned to the defense line, but it was still a trouble to not want to settle these homeless.
