Chapter 216: Potential Threat
"You go first, I'll go to the cellar. The prince nodded at the distant treasury.
"I still have some in my bag, let's go, this place is not suitable for a long time. Wu Dongfang said.
The prince thought for a while and said, "You go back and pack up first, and I'll go find the rice bucket and go back with them." ”
Wu Dongfang nodded in agreement, and Tu Escape returned to the deserted village of the Water Tribe, Xunhai and Niu Niu were not in the village, the pot stove was cold, and there was dust on the table, which showed that the two had been away for a long time.
However, the futon on the kang is gone, and it is impossible to take the futon with him if he is killed. After a short period of silence, Wu Dongfang went out to the west and came to the earthen house covered by the plane.
When returning to the deserted village with the two of them and cleaning the room, Wu Dongfang selectively told Xun Hai what had happened before, Xun Hai was anxious when he heard that the wizard of his clan had suffered heavy casualties, but he had left the water tribe for too long, and there was no reason or excuse to go back to visit.
"Xunshuang has rushed back, and with her in charge of the aftermath, the situation will soon be stabilized. Wu Dongfang was relieved.
Xun Hai nodded, picked up a bucket and went out to fetch water.
Previously, the four of them found a large amount of loot from the black-robed wizard, in addition to spiritual objects, there was also a lot of food, the Qiankun bag where the food was stored was on Wu Dongfang's body, most of these foods were raw, and the three of them ate meat at night.
After the meal, the three of them began to cook again, these were prepared for the Styx Moon and them, according to the time calculation, the prince and the Styx Moon and his party should return to the deserted village in the middle of the night.
The meal was ready, and the people came back, and the one who ran at the front was the rice bucket, arching the door and rushing towards Wu Dongfang.
Everyone sat down to eat, and after the meal, they went back to their rooms, and the underworld and the prince lived in the same room, and did not go back to the earthen house in the west.
For the next three days, everyone was stranded in the deserted village, and it took time for Xunshuang to rush back to deal with the endgame, so she could not be summoned for the time being.
In the past few days, everyone has not been idle, sorting and packing aircraft parts in the mud house on the west side, large and small parts and residual fuel oil are packed into hundreds of stone boxes, and it will take at least hundreds of carriages to transport so many things.
Tu Dun can carry lifeless things, but the amount of spiritual energy consumed is directly proportional to the weight of the things carried and the distance traveled, and the king's teleportation can also carry things, but the weight it can carry is even smaller, so many parts can only be transported by carriages.
Three days later, the packing was completed, and in the early morning of the fourth day, Wu Dongfang called Xunhai and Niu Niu to ask them for their thoughts on going to stay, Xunhai chose to be with the clansmen, and Niu Niu chose to be with Xunhai.
After confirming the thoughts of the two, Wu Dongfang crushed the water spirit ball left by Xun Shuang.
Frost hunting will not escape, it will take a certain amount of time to rush over, during which everyone prepared a banquet, and at noon, Frosthunt arrived.
This time, she did not wear a holy witch robe, but wore a black robe and casual clothes, carrying a long cloth bag, and the bread in it was naturally the Water Tribe's Divine Soldier Xuanbing Halberd.
Seeing Xunshuang, Xunhai immediately stepped forward and knelt down to salute, Wu Dongfang had previously talked to Xunshuang about Xunhai, and Xunshuang also agreed to Xunhai to return to the water tribe, this time it was just a formality.
Seeing the holy witch of his own clan, with his identity, Xunhai said goodbye to everyone with tears, and left the deserted village with Niu Niu, who frequently looked back, and now there is a shortage of wizards in the water tribe, Xunshuang arranged a new errand for him, and he is going to take office.
Seeing Xun Hai and Niu Niu go away, Wu Dongfang was both sad and relieved.
After Xunhai left, Wu Dongfang invited Xunshuang to the room to drink and talk, at this time, the concept of respect and inferiority was already very serious, people with different identities and statuses could not eat at the same table, especially when outsiders were present.
"The tribe will be able to send horses and carts by tomorrow morning at the latest. Xunshuang said that she had ordered Xunhai to go to the tribe to spread the word, and the people in the tribe knew that there was a deserted village here, and they could find it without looking for the sea to lead the way.
"Okay, what's going on in the tribe?" Wu Dongfang didn't say kind words, kind words to outsiders, the two are now a lifelong friendship, there is no need to be polite.
Xunshuang shook his head and grabbed the wine bowl and drank it all, "The Heavenly Master was controlled by the demon dragon and then attacked the royal family and wizards of his own clan, the Water King was killed, and there were only five or six surviving wizards, the night before yesterday, two of the Heavenly Masters who returned from the coffin couldn't stand the guidance and misunderstanding of the clansmen, and chose to commit suicide. ”
"It's quite a lot, more than three times that of the Jin family. Wu Dongfang smiled bitterly and quipped, this is the case with the Water Clan, the Fire Clan and the Wood Clan are definitely not much better, Frost Hunting is hard, Fei Xuan and Xin Tong are probably crying secretly at this time.
Xunshuang poured himself a bowl of wine and handed the wine jar to Wu Dongfang, "I always hold a bad breath in my heart, and I can't wait to kill all the Tu clan wizards to relieve my hatred." ”
"It's not the first time they've done this, if they could have killed me, they would have killed me a long time ago, do you think I let Yunping go just to let Ji Shaokang take over smoothly?" After pouring the wine, Wu Dongfang put down the wine jar.
"What else to consider?" Xunshuang frowned and looked at Wu Dongfang. She frowned and wrinkled her nose at the same time, which caused her expression to look fierce, this was not fierce at Wu Dongfang, but after so many years, she had developed a habit.
"When the Jin wizard was slaughtered by the Tu people, out of revenge, I abolished the sorcerers of the two states of the Tu people, the winter was very cold, Yangzhou froze to death many people, the winter yang was sluggish, the resentment of the dead soul did not disappear, and they stayed in the yang world to make trouble, without the restraint of the sorcerer, they were rampant and did whatever they wanted. Wu Dongfang said.
"I asked Xunhai to go to the post immediately because of this consideration, and a similar situation has already occurred in the Luoshan tribe. Frost Hunt frowned.
"In the previous war, the wizards of the four clans suffered heavy casualties, and there was a serious shortage of wizards, in case of a situation like that in Yangzhou again, we couldn't deal with it. The top priority is to cultivate wizards as soon as possible, but our spells are severely limited by bloodline," Wu Dongfang took a sip from the wine bowl, then put down the wine bowl and continued, "The only way at the moment is to return to Kunlun Mountain, where the wizards are not pure bloodline, but can use spells, we can go and learn from them." ”
Xunshuang frowned and said nothing, picked up the wine bowl and wanted to drink, but the bowl came to his mouth and put it down, "What you said makes sense, but you ignored one point, we can't be sure if their qi training methods and the spells they use complement each other." ”
Wu Dongfang nodded, Xunshuang was worried that the aura practiced by those local wizards in Kunlun Mountain was different from the aura practiced by the wizards of the five clans, to put it bluntly, he was worried that their cultivation methods did not match the current spells of the five clans, this situation was like the wizards of the five clans used rifles, and the aura cultivated by pure bloodline was rifle bullets, in case the hard work was a box of pistol bullets, it would be completely wasted.
"There's no other way," Wu Dongfang shook his head, "The remaining wizards of the five clans are not enough to continue to reproduce and inherit, if their cultivation methods can be used to cast our spells, it will naturally be great." If not, then we can only learn their spells. ”
Xunshuang sighed, as Wu Dongfang said, people with pure bloodlines are about to die, no matter what the situation is, the existing wizard system will completely change, pure bloodlines are no longer the prerequisite for cultivation, and it won't be long before everyone can learn spells.
Wu Dongfang said again, "Previously, one of the black-robed wizards had replaced the Lu Wu Nei Dan in my hand, and went back to alchemy, which shows that there is at least one Dan Ding in Kunlun Mountain, and maybe there are more." ”
Xunshuang picked up the wine bowl and drank it all, took a plate of fried beans and pinched them one by one, if Wu Dongfang's inference was correct, alchemy would no longer be the patent of the Tu clan in the future.
The two of them didn't speak for a few minutes, and after three or four minutes, Xunshuang put down the plate and clapped his hands, "I have been closely following the movements of the Tu tribe in the past few days, according to the report of the spies lurking in the Tu tribe, Ji Shaokang's succession is very smooth, there is no hindrance, and Kyushu has sent protons." ”
"Good thing. Wu Dongfang nodded, the proton is a hostage to put it bluntly, the court usually names a certain son of the princes and kings, nominally as a guest, but in fact comes to hold them, if the princes and kings rebel, the hostages will be clicked away.
"Ji Shaokang sent an envoy in the name of the emperor to permanently exempt the water tribe from taxes, and also transported thousands of bags of fine millet and countless utensils to show his beneficiaries. Xunshuang said.
"Has the envoy arrived?" Wu Dongfang asked, refined millet is the husked millet, it is the best grain, a bag is usually the current thirty catties, and 300,000 catties of grain is one hundred and fifty tons, which is nothing now, and it is an out-and-out heavy gift in the Xia Dynasty that has not yet solved the problem of food and clothing.
"No, it's still on the way. Xunshuang said.
Wu Dongfang smiled, Ji Shaokang and Yun Ping are both smart people, this move kills two birds with one stone, the gift has not been delivered yet, and he shouted out first, undoubtedly telling the prince of Kyushu, "We have a good relationship with the four clans of Jinmu, Water and Fire, you had better be honest." ’
"I don't want to accept their gifts. Xunshuang grabbed the wine jar and poured a bowl.
"What a gift, this is compensation, don't be in vain, don't forget, you still owe the wood clan famine. Wu Dongfang said with a smile.
Xun Shuang didn't say anything, and changed to another topic, "What are your plans for the future?"
"When we finish dealing with the affairs of the clan and go to Kunlun Mountain together, I always have a bad premonition, and I feel that the current calm will not last long. Wu Dongfang said.
"Oh?" said Frost Hunt with a puzzled face.
"Let me tell you clearly, the three elders of the Jin clan once used the three years of voyeurism, and since the three years of voyeurism, I saw that I used the Eight Wood Dragon Thunder to kill ghosts in the underworld, but the last time we went down to the underworld, I didn't use the Eight Wood Dragon Thunder, and now I have obtained the two holy skills of the Jin Clan, what else do I go to the underworld?" Wu Dongfang said.
"Are you worried that we will have a war with the underworld?" asked Frost Hunter.
"Hopefully my worries are unwarranted. Wu Dongfang said, before the prince had spied on Ji Shaokang's divine sense, and learned that Ji Ke was teaching the Tu clan holy skills to Ji Ruo, Ji Ke is a selfless loyal minister of the Grand Duke, although the death of Ming Zhao will make her grief-stricken, but she will never kill herself, at least not until Ji Shaokang sits firmly in the world. Since she didn't commit suicide, there was only one possibility for her to pass on the Tu Clan's holy skills to Ji Ruo in advance, that is, she was going to do something that seemed extremely dangerous to her, and she was afraid that she would not be able to come back.
With Ji Ke's cultivation, no one is her opponent unless she is attacked by the four of them, in other words, there is nothing in the human world that can pose a threat to her, so it can be seen that extremely dangerous things are unlikely to come from the human world.
And not long ago, Ji Ke had contact with Shen Zhao, Shen Zhao is the eighth-layer ghost king of the underworld, he came out with injuries, and after coming out, he probably said something to Ji Ke, Ji Ke learned some things in the underworld, and it was these things that made her aware of potential dangers and hidden threats.
Whether this is the case or not is only clear to Ji Ke himself, when he thinks of Ji Ke, he is in a very bad mood, and even full of hostility towards Ji Ke, thinking about it, his hostility towards Ji Ke may come from the nostalgia for Ji Miao, and subconsciously he always feels that Ji Ke killed Ji Miao.
"The Shade can't see the light of day, and that shouldn't be the case you're talking about. Xunshuang shook his head and said.
"I hope it won't ...... either"
