chapter518The current situation in Zhenkou is much better than Su Ziyi thought before he came.The east side of Zhu Lian's town is adjacent to a low-lying mountainous area, the terrain is complex, the natural dangers are strange, and the ethnic culture and other reasons, so the small piece of land occupies dozens of small countries, and does not form a strong and powerful political power.It is precisely because the country is weak and weak that several countries adjacent to Miao and Yunnan were swallowed up by floods almost instantly, and very few people escaped.In other words, in fact, it is not the remnants of the destroyed countries who come to trouble this time, but those other small countries that have been affected to a certain extent, but are unwilling to fish in troubled waters to find some benefits.For this benefit, they even united with a country further east, the Diyue Kingdom.Strictly speaking, the country is not a big country, it can only be said to be a medium-sized country, but this country had a serious accident thousands of years ago.The cause of the accident is now unknowable, and everyone only knows that since that accident, the aura situation in the country of Diyue has begun to change.The aura was supposed to be mild, but the aura of the Diyue Kingdom became extremely sharp, and every time the cultivator spit out, the muscles and veins had to endure the pain of being burned by fire.Such a change made the Diyue Kingdom almost wiped out in that period thousands of years ago.But fortunately, this kind of aura mutation is not only for the Diyue Kingdom, all cultivators who enter the realm of the Diyue Country will guard the painful torture of the aura mutation, so it didn't take long for those who invaded the Diyue Country to retreat one by one, allowing the Diyue Kingdom to have a chance to breathe.A few years later, a wonderful and brilliant person appeared in the Diyue Kingdom, and he comprehended a unique method that allowed cultivators to absorb these mutated auras for cultivation in the same way as absorbing aura, and the Diyue Kingdom recovered little by little.Of course, this method is not completely unlimited.Judging from what Su Ziyi had learned, all the cultivators who practiced this mental method would have their longevity reduced by one-third.You must know that one-third of the longevity yuan is very precious for a cultivator, enough to allow a Qi Refining Stage cultivator to enter the Foundation Building Stage from the high-level Qi Refining Period, and it is even possible to promote the Foundation Building Period to the Jindan.Therefore, in the face of this shortcoming, the neighboring countries that were still eyeing each other fell silent in an instant.After all, the more people are in high positions, the more they want to die.Without the covetousness of others, the Diyue Kingdom quickly regained its original territory, and due to the intensification of the aura's mutation, after the mutation range continued to expand, it also allowed the Diyue Kingdom to grab a lot of territory from other countries.Time has passed, and after so many years, the former hegemon has become a cold record in history, and the Diyue country, which has turned around in adversity, has become a hegemon in the East.Therefore, nowadays, it is not a strange thing for those small countries around to take refuge in the Diyue Kingdom.But—it's a bit strange to unite with the Yue Kingdom to attack the Dai Kingdom."
Did the Diyue Kingdom really send someone?"
Su Ziyi asked.No wonder he was so surprised, it was because although Di Yueguo had some ability, it was still a little far behind Dai Guo, this time he made an inexplicable move, it looked too strange, can it not make Su Ziyi suspicious?
Talking about this, Zhu Lian was solemn: "I heard that something seems to have happened to the Yueguo side. ”"I haven't heard what it is.""
But looking at the actions of Di Yueguo, it shouldn't be a small problem."
Otherwise, he would not have taken a huge risk to plot against Dai Guo."
In short-" Zhu Lian looked at Su Ziyi with a serious face: "Now, we can only plan for the worst, even if they haven't launched a general attack yet, we can't slack off." ”His eyes were long-sighted, and his eyes looked dark and deep: "Until the flood waters recede, we can't relax a bit." ”In this regard, Su Ziyi naturally has no other opinions.After visiting Zhu Lian, Su Ziyi left the mansion that was used as a council hall and walked out with the Qi Refining Stage disciples who led the way.Because of the topography, Zhenkou Town lacks arable land, and the transportation is not very convenient, so the entire town is less than 300 households, and more than half of the population is garrisoned and cultivators stationed here, so it is not a big town.It's just that although the town is small, it has all kinds of organs, all kinds of shops, and even the path leading to the houses behind is paved with bluestone slabs, which are washed by the water and clean.Su Ziyi watched as he walked.Because the cultivators of the Diyue Kingdom are stationed hundreds of miles outside the border of the Dai Kingdom, the atmosphere in the entire town has been very heavy recently, and ordinary residents can not go out without going out, and most of the shops on both sides of the road are closed, leaving only some grain and oil stores and grocery stores still open.Su Ziyi walked all the way, and a group of soldiers in armor walked past him, looking at the figure and the eyes, it was really powerful.The disciple who led the way saw Su Ziyi glance at those soldiers a few more times, and hurriedly spoke: "Although these soldiers are just ordinary people, their combat power is extremely strong, and ordinary cultivators of the third or fourth level of Qi refining can't do anything about them." ”After finishing speaking, he realized that the senior in front of him was a mid-stage foundation building cultivator, and his face immediately turned a little sneered, and he turned his head embarrassedly and stopped talking.Su Ziyi didn't mind what he said, he was just surprised that there was such a powerful army under the hands of the royal family.It seems that the royal family is not as useless as he thinks.Just think about these words in your heart, and Su Ziyi doesn't have a big heart to take them out and tell people casually.The disciple leading the way in front of him did not speak, nor did he urge, but looked up and looked forward with his own care.The houses in Zhenkou Town are all built on one piece of rubble after another, so under the floor, there are still one piece of wood as pillars, and from a distance, it is chaotic and orderly.At the end of this group of houses are two towering mountains, perhaps many years ago, they were actually one, but I don't know when, the axe of nature slashed into the air, and cut a gap about three feet long in the mountain.The mountain walls on both sides of the gap were smooth, and nothing grew on the blue-black stones, like iron plates.And this is the only official road along with Dai and other eastern countries, and it is also the natural danger that Dai must fight for, as long as this natural danger called "Liangdaokou" is in hand, Dai Guo can always refuse the attacking enemy to the door.The housing arranged for Su Ziyi is also very close to Liangdaokou.The house is the same as what Su Ziyi has seen all the way, the area is not large, and the lighting is not good, as soon as you walk in, the vision will be darkened, even if the disciple diligently opens the window, it only makes the room look bright.Su Ziyi didn't pay much attention to the place where he lived, so he let the disciple go when he felt that it was almost over, and then cleaned up by himself.Bian Qing is not here, he has to do everything by himself.I didn't feel much before, but now that I am alone in the room and doing housework, I will inevitably think of Bian Qing and Su Yulang, and recall the things that used to cook and do housework together when the family was still in Luoshan Village.It's not until what happened to Bian Qing and Su Yulang, I hope they won't worry too much about him.And when Su Ziyi missed Bian Qing and Su Yulang, Su Yulang and Bian Qing also missed him.Not long after Su Ziyi left, another urgent letter came, this time from the west, from Xia Zheng's hand.Xia Zheng sent an urgent letter, not to let other cultivators come to reinforcements, but to tell everyone that the Loujia Empire in the west had moved, and the Loujia Empire was extremely cunning, in addition to sending a certain number of high-level cultivators to entangle them on the front line, he also let a small number of foundation building cultivators infiltrate the Dai Kingdom, intending to wait for an opportunity to sabotage it secretly.Therefore, this time he sent a letter, hoping that the people stationed at the embankment should take more precautions.As soon as Nanshui City received the news, they immediately sent new foundation building cultivators to garrison the various embankment nodes, and also let the two Jindan masters patrol the town to avoid the people of the Loujia Empire.And Bian Qing and Su Yulang are quite close to the central node of the embankment, and the pressure is not very great in comparison, but Bian Qing does not dare to slack off at all."
The damage to the entire embankment, once it is damaged in the middle, is the most affected."
Standing on the embankment, the wind blew Bian Qing's hair and the hem of his robe, making his whole person more and more imposing.He looked at the surface of the vast soup in front of him, and raised his vigilance to the maximum: "So, we must pay more attention to it next." ”"Yes."
A row of disciples behind him finished listening to the order and said yes loudly.Because of this incident, Bian Qing didn't dare to go back to the back to cultivate, and meditated and practiced cross-legged on the floor all day and night, just in case.This process is quite boring, but Bian Qing has never complained, but sometimes, when there is no one around, he will inevitably think about Su Ziyi who is still in Zhenkou Town, and he doesn't know what his situation is.In this way, between the thoughts of the two places, the days passed day after day.For a few days in a row, there was no movement from the alliance forces of the Diyue Kingdom in the east, and there was no major movement from the Loujia Empire in the west, and the cultivators who had infiltrated the territory of the Dai Kingdom who had been repeatedly told by Xia Zheng were also nowhere to be seen at this time.On the contrary, the water surface, which had not changed for a while, began to become calm, and there were even faint signs of retreating.However, everyone did not let their guard down, because everyone knew that this was just the calm before the storm, and Elder Liu Yu, who was far away in Nanshui City, even asked for assistance from other sects again, hoping that more cultivators would come to the south to help.Everything seems to be moving in a good direction.But on this night, the sky was overcast, the moon and stars could not be seen, and Bian Qing, who was meditating cross-legged on the embankment, sensed a strange aura approaching.
