Li Xiudao: "Don't just say nice things. I am engaged in research myself, and I also have my own research team. But I am born in this world. I have no money and no land. Many times I have to fight for it myself. If there is a good If the place takes me in, I will lock myself in the laboratory and not go out for a year and a half, so there’s nothing wrong with it!”
"Although I don't know what research you are talking about, can I understand that you like to practice hard and share your cultivation results with others?" Pang Gu asked tentatively.
"That's pretty much what it means!" Li Xiu replied.
Pang Gu was silent for a moment and said: "I understand. I will find you a good place like that when I go back. I also want to see if the benchmark you told me about before can achieve what I want in my lifetime." willing!"
Li Xiu said with a half-smile, "Then it depends on whether you are willing to let it go."
"Reluctance? What do you mean?" Pang Gu was stunned.
Li Xiudao: "If the academy is completely opened up and everyone is educated without discrimination, the three flowers on your head may not be preserved!"
"Now even if I tell you that I am willing to give up, I am afraid you may not believe it. If I say that I am not willing to give up, you may not be happy in your heart. Therefore, whether I am willing to give up or not cannot be expressed clearly in one sentence. Are you right?" Pang Gu said.
This time it was Li Xiu's turn to be stunned, and after a long while he shook his head and said, "Then we'll wait and see!"
While the two were talking, they had already quickly flown across the White Horse Lake.
Seeing that the 800-mile White Horse Lake has turned into a frozen lake, and the world is vast and frozen, Li Xiu said worriedly: "The disaster in Jianxue Mountain is imminent, and this disaster is likely to affect the entire Western Chu." If a large area even evolves into a little ice age, it will be troublesome. It will be a fatal blow to the reproduction and survival of the people. Once the population drops sharply, it will directly affect the inheritance of the world of immortality! This is still a good thing. What I am worried about is Until then, once the thousands of miles of Mediterranean Sea leaks down, it will directly affect several states and counties in the river basin, which will be a disaster!"
"I already know a thing or two about the disaster. I'm afraid this matter is not that simple, and it is definitely not something that a few nobles of the Demon Clan or the Hidden Clan have the strength to cause artificially!" Pang Gu expressed his opinion.
Li Xiu's heart moved and he quickly asked: "Where should I start with this?"
Pang Gu said: "I think this matter should be related to the Supreme Game!" Pang Gu also had a worried look on his face.
"Supreme Game? I have never heard of Supreme!"
Pang Gu said: "I don't know very well, but the chaos in the northern country often has their shadow. I don't know their origin very well. I only know that when the country is about to be in chaos, evil spirits will appear. Most of the evil evils are man-made disasters, and there will be A selection like the 'Chosen Seed' appears. If you want to know more, you can only start from the ancient tribe. It is generally difficult for outsiders to understand the chess game! If the disaster caused by Jianxue Mountain has become a fact, Even if the imperial court intervenes with such a generous move, it will not change the overall situation! During the previous dynasty, the Twin Saints promoted the opening of the North-South Grand Canal in an attempt to change the country's destiny. In the end, everyone involved had to die a good death. On the contrary, those who participated in the liquidation were all Benefits gained!”
The news revealed was shocking enough. Li Xiudao said: "We are in a corner. If things really break out, we may not know how we died. Even an outsider like me is thinking about a question."
"The question you mentioned is probably my question, and it is also a question that most powerful people want to know." Pang Gu said, "Are you trying to say that we all want to know whether Emperor Ji Yuan succeeded in defeating the sky?" , or is it a failure to defeat the sky? To put it more directly, who is the emperor who is above the court today? "
"It doesn't matter who he is!" Li Xiudao: "I only know that if there is a problem that even the imperial court of the Demon Kingdom cannot solve, then I am afraid that only the appearance of the invincible and powerful man who defeats the sky can suppress everything! Considering the overall situation, If the end of the world is destined to come, then maintaining the status quo is better than another dynasty change."
Pang Gu nodded and said: "The current strength of the Demon Clan is ten times or even a hundred times greater than that of the previous Daguan Kingdom in its heyday. Even if there really is a Supreme Being, if you want to support an emperor to ascend to power, he should be selected from the Demon Clan." ‘The Chosen Seed’, otherwise, even this current situation would be difficult to maintain, and it would be a disaster without any benefit!”
Li Xiudao: "You understand this truth, and I can also figure it out. As the Supreme, it is impossible not to understand this truth. Then, it is unreasonable for the disaster in Jianxue Mountain to be the work of the Supreme!"
"Indeed!" Pang Gu sighed.
The two of them chatted a few more words casually, but they felt it was boring and had no idea, so they speeded up and hurried back to Hancheng.
Back in Hancheng, it was getting late.
"Hiss—" Li Xiu took a breath. Pang Gu's expression also froze.
Hancheng at this time is completely a frozen city. If you want to see ice sculptures, this is undoubtedly the best time to come to Hancheng. However, I am afraid that not many people can bear such a tragic situation!
"How could this be?" Pang Gu's face was indescribably complicated and uncomfortable.
Li Xiu's voice also trembled: "I still underestimated the human heart. The greedy human heart is no different from the devil, these damn fools!"
After the city defense formation was withdrawn, in order to compete for the entrance to the cave in the ancient Beiminghai, the madness of various tribes was far beyond Li Xiu's expectation, and they actually completely ignored the lives of the people.
Of course, although all races have their faults, they are not the culprit. The culprit is Li Xiu!
Li Xiu, who was originally pale due to excessive blood loss, now looked even uglier.
There are not many pure populations left in the two northern counties. Hanchen Academy has worked hard to build Hancheng. It is the best gathering place and shelter within a thousand miles. At its peak, Hancheng once reached 400,000 people. There are so many households, with a population of nearly two million.
This time, because of Li Xiu's own initiative, he withdrew the city defense formation, allowing the cold air from hundreds of miles around to gradually gather in the sky above Hancheng, forming an eye of Yin air, pouring down.
This sudden drop in temperature can reach minus 40 degrees Celsius or even lower. Coupled with the sudden drop in hailstorms, it can cause casualties!
However, Li Xiu felt strange.
Because under the scanning of his spiritual sense, he saw a lot of broken pieces of meat and minced meat. If it were just minus forty degrees and hailstorms, because the formation was withdrawn and the incident happened suddenly, it was indeed unprepared, but it would not be able to freeze a living person instantly, let alone break it at a touch.
This principle may be ignored by others or even difficult to detect, but Li Xiu suddenly thought of the key point and became suspicious.
Not to mention minus 40 degrees, even minus 100 degrees, you can't do this at all, unless...
There is only one explanation, and that is that during the short period of time after the formation was withdrawn and the cold air formed the Eye of Airflow and poured into the city, there was another factor that released a kind of high temperature and heavy pressure, which was related to The principle of contact with cold air is almost the same as the vaporization of liquid nitrogen, which instantly expands and strengthens the lethality of the cold air tenfold.
"Is there someone obstructing this?" Li Xiu immediately came to his senses and kept himself objective and rational. Although there are many experts from various races in Hancheng today, there are probably very few people who are proficient in the principles of liquid nitrogen vaporization. The vaporization of liquid nitrogen needs to absorb a large amount of heat energy in an instant to achieve the effect of instant freezing. This cannot be understood through many battles, but requires coincidence or the summary of countless experiments!
Except for Li Xiu himself, only the giant overlords who have mastered high-end life technology have mastered such principles and technologies. Of course, we do not rule out the possibility of others, or even the one in ten thousand possibility. It was an accidental match made by a natural disaster!
Li Xiu secretly became vigilant.
"The old dean is back!" Suddenly a voice was heard. Several monks noticed Pang Gu and Li Xiu standing at the gate of the city. They were students and tutors of Hanchen Academy. When they saw Pang Gu coming back, they immediately became worried. The main character came forward with a happy face.
"How many died?" Pang Gu asked directly.
"The specific number has not been calculated yet, but 10% is indispensable!" A middle-aged man wearing a mentor's robe walked over and said with a solemn expression.
10%, that’s one tenth, 200,000 people died?
Seeing Pang Gu's silence, the instructor continued: "The Presbyterian Academy has forcibly distributed some charcoal and coal from various places in the city, but the supply exceeds demand. The main reason is that various tribes have looted everything in the academy, and there is no trace of the original inventory left. Oh, alas! Especially in the wooden house area of Beixiang, not many people can survive, it’s so miserable!”
Panggu was speechless.
The housing in the Beixiang wooden house area is very simple. It's not that Panggu didn't renovate and rebuild it, but the residents in that area are all the families and descendants of criminals. Those family members and descendants are either Pang Gu's enemies, or the family members and descendants of small sects that were exterminated. The development of Hanchen Academy to this day is due to Pang Gu's luck and the academy's reformed teaching system. An important factor is that as one of the three major sects in Shangbei County, there is a spiritual mine belonging to Hanchen Academy. The competition for spiritual mines has always been fierce and cruel, and was most severe in the Dharma Ending Era. Panggu set aside a piece of land to keep the families and descendants of those criminals, which was of great merit. However, it became meaningless at this moment!
Pang Gu, Li Xiu and others quickly walked towards the city.
Li Xiu frowned and looked around. In this harsh low-temperature environment, let alone ordinary people, even monks in the Qi refining stage would suffer from frostbite or freeze to death if they ran outdoors for a long time!
At this moment, in addition to the thousands of students and tutors at Hanchen Academy who were collecting ice corpses and treating frostbitten people, there were also several teams of people doing the same thing.
After the news of Pang Gu's return to the city spread quickly, the leaders of those groups came to meet Pang Gu in person.
It turned out that Mr. Hua, Mr. Jiang and Jiang Bubu didn't even try to seize the entrance to the Shanggu Bei Minghai Cave. There were also several casual cultivators as representatives who came to meet Pangu!
