Chapter 262, the lake is in turmoil!
"Lord Castle, Shuipo Lake riots!!"
The maid rushed in from the outside, her face looking anxious.
"Lord of the City, there is a riot in Shuipo Lake, and the water level is rushing towards the city wall!"
Shu Shu was chatting with Bai Ling, but she didn't expect to hear such a big surprise.
The smile on Bai Ling's face gradually retracted, and coldness crept into his eyes.
"Close the city gate and open the formation. ”
On the second day of the festival, the city of Siper was hit by an unprecedented natural disaster.
Their mother lake, Lake Pearl, rioted.
The night before, people were dancing on the thick ice of the lake, but the night later, the thick ice on the surface of the lake was suddenly broken by the impact of the bottom of the lake, and the water in the lake rose high and steamed.
In the cold north, and in the winter north, the lake is unprecedentedly hot.
"It's not just the heat in the lake, but the high temperature in the lake is also affecting the snow and ice in the surrounding forests. In recent days, the rate of melting snow and ice has continued to increase, and all the melting snow has gathered in the direction of North Per City. ”
As soon as he discovered the problem, Bai Ling made a choice, closing the gate of Xipo City and opening the moat of the city**.
So far, the people in the city have not been harmed, but the people outside the city ......
It's not that Bai Ling can't save her when she sees death, she really can't do anything about it.
Even if they are immortals, they can't resist the sudden storm of the fairyland.
"Ah Ling, I think this matter is a little strange, you should send someone to Shuipo Lake to investigate. ”
Bai Ling shook his head: "At the bottom of the lake... I can't go. ”
"Can't go?" Shu Shu was shocked: "Why is this?"
Bai Ling looked at the turbulent water outside the city and said softly, "Shuipo Lake is the mother lake of Xipo City, not just because it was the closest lake to us when the city was founded. ”
Although everyone thinks so, the specific reason is that the Bai family, who has always inherited the position of the city lord, knows best.
"There is a mythical beast at the bottom of the lake, which fell into the lake thousands of years ago. The ancestors had witnessed the giant beast falling into the lake and had seen the power of the beast, so they took it as an auspicious omen and built a city here. ”
Shu Shu suddenly realized: "No wonder your first reaction was to protect the city, not to investigate." ”
"It's not that I don't want to go, that divine beast is extremely powerful, and it can annihilate a million miles in an instant, this is the legacy left by the ancestors. All we can do is protect ourselves!"
Bai Ling didn't expect that the auspicious beast that the ancestors thought would break out such a powerful disaster when she was in place.
The ancestors thought it was an auspicious beast, so it was built here, and the smooth development of hundreds of thousands of years also made the ancestors recognize the auspicious meaning of the beast. ”
Bai Ling sighed: "So on the day of the city festival, we will hold a grand celebration on Shuipo Lake. ”
"I'm afraid it's not just your ancestors, you didn't believe in its auspiciousness before the vision outside the city protruded. ”
Shu Shu's words are indeed right, when there is peace and peace, everyone naturally believes that it is auspicious, but when disaster comes, the auspicious beast will instantly turn into the disaster beast in people's mouths.
"It's just a will imposed on it by people, whether it's auspicious or calamity, the divine beast itself has never agreed with any title. Shu Shu smiled.
Bai Ling was stunned, and suddenly smiled: "Shu Shu is right." ”
"Since you said that there are divine beasts at the bottom of the lake, then I guess I am afraid that the divine beasts at the bottom of the lake have awakened, so this vision has been caused. ”
Xue Ya observed for a long time and found that the reason why this water was coming in the direction of Xipo City was entirely because they happened to build the city in the lower reaches of Shuipo Lake.
"The location of this city is really amazing. ”
Bai Ling was also helpless: "This is the location of the ancestors, and we don't know why we are downstream." ”
"This shows that your ancestor is not a good decision-maker!" Shu Shu reprimanded.
"You can't say that. Xue Ya smiled: "Maybe the ancestor of Xipo City just wants to be the first to welcome the grace of the divine beast. ”
Bai Ling also felt that it was not very appropriate for the two of them to discuss the ancestors here: "The two of you are cautious, I don't know what the ancestors think, but it is a fact that the ancestors benefited the people of this side after building the city. ”
Xue Ya bowed his head apologetically: "It's a gaffe, don't blame the City Lord of Wanwang." ”
"Ah Ling, don't be angry, we're just talking nonsense. ”
It's not enough to be angry, as long as they don't say it anymore, Bai Ling still doesn't mind.
"But then again, it's no wonder if it's really the awakening of the divine beast that there is such a big movement. Shu Shu's curiosity factor popped up, and she couldn't help but want to find out.
"I hope the beast will wake up and leave. ”
Bai Ling didn't care about any divine beast or not, he just wanted this kind of vision to stop quickly and give them a peace.
Everyone wants to ask for a peace, but they can't be peaceful.
From the third day, people from all over the world gradually rushed to this side, and they floated in the air with flying magic weapons when they couldn't get their feet, and those people were all richly dressed and powerful, and they were from big families from all over the Yin Demon Realm.
"There were so many people. ”
Siper City was now locked, and all that could be seen were those people floating in the sky, all with flying magic weapons.
"What the hell did they know about the fact that so many people were dispatched? Shu Shuwu sighed to herself, but did not notice that Bai Ling's face was slightly uncomfortable.
"Ah Ling, would you like to temporarily open the city gate for them to come in?"
"No, I can't. Bai Ling's resolute attitude startled Shu Shu.
"Why... It's not that you can remove part of the formation..."
"No, I just can't say no. Bai Ling's words were hurried, and he resolutely rejected the proposal without waiting for Shu Shu to finish speaking.
At this time, Bai Ling was no longer the city lord who looked cold and unattainable, but was actually approachable, and her serious appearance was so unapproachable.
"Ah Ling, why?"
Bai Ling flicked his sleeves and said: "I don't care what treasures they want to fight for, what tricks they play, and I am not interested in everything outside the city at all." But I don't care if they live or die, and it's even more impossible for me to open the formation in the city and let them in. ”
She had already made up her mind: "I am the lord of the city of Siper, and I am only responsible for the safety of the people in my city. ”
Shu Shu didn't know what to say, Bai Ling's idea was no problem, to ensure the safety of his own people. What does it matter if other people live or die?
"But I always felt that her refusal was too abrupt, like there was a bigger reason for it. ”
After Shu Shu and Xue Ya came out of the City Lord's Mansion, she and Xue Ya still had some doubts when they talked about Bai Ling's performance just now.
Xue Ya didn't think there was any problem, if he thought about it from another perspective, he was Bai Ling and Shu Shu were those city citizens, and he would not hesitate to refuse this proposal.
There is no reason for it, it is to protect the people you love.
"Shushu, if the city lord and the people of the city are replaced by you and me, I will also say no without hesitation. This has nothing to do with the inside story, only the depth of the feelings in it. ”
Hmm~ I'm being told in vain? Sect Master Shu looked at Xue Ya's affectionate eyes, thinking that this confession was really high-level and out of place.
"Alas~ Well, it's me who is overthinking. ”
Confession, why is it not formal at all, I will not agree to such an informal confession.
There were dozens of large flying magic weapons flying in the sky above Xiper City, and the people inside were all from the top families in the Yin Demon Realm.
It also includes Shu Shu's old friends, the three families of Lingxu City.
"Father, is the news true or false this time? There really is a divine beast at the bottom of this lake?"
It was Qi Yi, the eldest son of the Qi family, who spoke, and naturally the head of the Qi family and the senior seniors in the family were beside him.
"Naturally, it is true, how can the ancestral training be false, the water and lake are chaotic, and the divine beasts are out. This is the ancestral teachings left by the ancestors, and the major families have passed them down from generation to generation, but this ancestral teachings have not been fulfilled for thousands of years, and I never thought that my generation would fulfill them. ”
The head of the Qi family was a little happy, and he had encountered a strange thing that had not been encountered by the head of the family for several generations, what did this mean? It showed that he had this blessing in Qi Jin.
"As long as we can subdue the divine beasts, our Qi family will be able to get rid of Yu and Li's two families and rise to the top and become the number one family in the Yin Demon Realm!" Qi Jin thought of this picture beautifully.
Compared with one of the three strongest families, the name of the first family in the whole world naturally sounds more comfortable.
"Father, we can do it. ”
Qi Yi's eyes also burst out with ambition, if this divine beast can be subdued by the Qi family, he will be the head of the first family in the Yin Demon Realm in the future, what kind of scenery it should be.
This matter is also being discussed on the flying magic weapon of the Li family here: "The family master, the Qi family and the Yu family are also here, as well as the major families in the whole world, we still have some trouble trying to win the divine beast this time." ”
The head of the Li family didn't listen to this at all: "Even if they all come, each family is fighting on their own, as long as they don't join forces to deal with us, my Li family will naturally be able to sweep away everyone with a few Immortal Emperor Ancestors." ”
"What my father said is that the strength of cultivation is naturally the most powerful in my Li family. "Li Cheng, the eldest son of Li, didn't know when he left from Nanyao City, and followed the pace of the Li family and came to Beipo City.
"The Qi family has always been famous for medicine, although their strength is slightly inferior, but their relationship network should not be underestimated, there are not a few people in the whole world who have been favored by them, and they still need to be guarded against if they really fight. ”
"Not to mention the Yu family, its strength is not as good as ours, and the infighting has been fierce recently, and the head of the Yu family hasn't even sorted out the housework, so he doesn't have the time to put all his strength on this, so there is nothing to be afraid of. ”
Thinking of this Li family master, he sneered: "Yu Zheng is still too indecisive, but a person who betrayed him is also worthy of his reluctance to make such a big move." ”
"Father, don't forget, there is also the same religion. Li Cheng reminded.
The head of the Li family frowned, the sudden emergence of the same sect was really unpredictable.
"Cheng'er, you stayed in Nanyao City for so long some time ago, can you find out their strength?"
Li Cheng had indeed stayed there for a short time, and he didn't even know that the same sect leader had been away from the city for a few days.
"No, I'm ashamed to say that I didn't get the news until a few days after the same sect leader left the city. The control in their religion is indeed too strict, and I can't find out any information. ”
"It's a bit of a problem. ”
The head of the Li family said in his heart, it is really difficult to rest assured that there is such an opponent who does not know the roots and does not know the bottom in the dark. 2k reading web
