"Huh?" Pang Gu looked at Li Xiu and said with a strange look on his face, "What kind of skills are you practicing? Why do you make me feel more ordinary every time I see you? I could still see your personality before. Spiritual roots can also determine your approximate cultivation level. Ever since I saw you in Posana Pagoda, I can’t see through you. Now, you are more like a mortal."
"Oh, I am just a mortal, and being strong is relative. To ants, we are the unattainable Pangu. In fact, on the other hand, why can't we say that ants are unattainable? Even if everything changes , there is also a certain degree, and the same is true for the impermanence of gathering and dispersion. No matter how advanced we are in cultivation, it is estimated that it will be difficult to become an ant in the true sense. Then ants are out of reach, and the same is true for mortals. In fact, mortals are just a kind of us. Definition, let’s ask how many mortals there are in a person’s lifetime. If living is extraordinary, then being ordinary will also be extraordinary!” Li Xiu said with emotion.
"Every life has its own circumstances, and it really cannot be generalized. If you think about it, what you said makes sense!" Pang Gu said, "It seems that you are going to be ahead of me, and you are actually comprehending this truth! By the way, you What I just said is ever-changing and impermanent, is that what you see as practice?"
Li Xiudao: "Not bad!"
Pang Gu said: "We in our generation only practice to become immortals, but rarely can we break it down like you do. Under normal circumstances, the level of cultivation is the enhancement of strength and strength. In the prosperous age, mortals experienced seven tribulations and became immortals. In fact, The above is just a general concept, there are some strong people with great luck and countless magic weapons who can become immortals!"
"Indeed!" Li Xiu smiled and said, "You came to me in person. Is there something wrong?"
"As we expected, not only did the leaders of Tianshui City, Dongping Mansion, and Fenglei Pavilion not come, but even the small sects around Hancheng only sent a few juniors as representatives, bringing letters from the ancestors of each sect. , each has his own excuse. It seems that the move to hold a grand feast in the whole city is no longer a surprise to them, but a fright!" Pang Gu said.
"It doesn't matter, this is just the first step. The seven-day feast will continue as usual. This move is to make a big splash, not only to set off a big wave in the world of immortality, but also to spread among the people!" Li Xiu thought for a moment, then continued, "Destroy the Fenglei Pavilion. Your plan must be successful in one fell swoop!”
"Every faction and noble clan is watching with cold eyes, and they all want to see our jokes! I don't think we should be gentle about the Fenglei Pavilion matter, but we have to win it in one fell swoop!"
"That soul seducer has a powerful corpse soul method. What I'm worried about is that we are not fast enough. If he takes the lead, even if Fenglei Pavilion is taken, the population and materials of each faction and noble clan will also be planted with evil hearts, which will be harmful to us. It is said that it is difficult to revitalize the human race in the north. What's more, in addition to seducing souls, there is also the dark world that is watching. Ma Tiancheng of Tianshui City has always been loyal to the royal family and will not easily offend the demon nobles. At best, he will remain neutral. If the population plunder falls Going downwind will be very detrimental to us!" Li Xiu said in a deep voice.
"Are you planning to take action immediately? But your vitality is severely damaged, so there is no need to be so eager!" Pang Gu's face was also quite solemn.
"I have long had an idea to take advantage of Jianxue Mountain to cause disaster. If it succeeds, then even if the seductive spirit has planted demonic seeds in some high-ranking officials of various sects and noble clans, I can also come to the bottom of the cauldron to draw out their salary!" Li Xiudao.
"Unless... you can conjure up a second sun to shine on the earth! If you want to deal with the demon species in a fundamental sense, you must first make the people yearn for it and see hope. This is the way to deal with power and destroy the demon species since ancient times. The simplest and most powerful method of the heart!" Pang Gu shook his head and sighed.
Li Xiu said seriously: "I have this idea!"
"What?" Pang Gu was stunned. When he saw Li Xiu's expression, his face twitched and he said, "Are you serious?"
Li Xiudao: "You should know that I have a double-yang constitution!"
"But if you really do that, it is equivalent to killing yourself. You are still young and have a bright future. There is no need to take this step! I think you should find another way!" Pang Gu solemnly advised.
Li Xiudao: "I have been thinking about it carefully for several days! In fact, physical quality is no longer the most important to me. I think that one day, when I, the first person in the younger generation of the human race, can give up my luck, then Even if it’s a safer road.”
Pang Gu stared at Li Xiu for a long time, and finally couldn't say anything and could only sigh.
"By the way, I haven't seen Brother Qiaofu these days. Where has he gone?" Li Xiu asked.
Pang Gu said: "While you are recuperating, I asked him to take the void magic weapon with him to Fenglei Pavilion and keep an eye on it. If there is any movement there, he can report back in time!"
"You are still thoughtful!" Li Xiu had to admire him.
As a casual cultivator, compared with others, I still have a lot of shortcomings.
But he said that more and more refugees were being accommodated in Hancheng. The city was damaged by hailstorms and there was no time to repair the buildings. Except for the east city, the west city and the south city were the most complete, while the north city was more seriously damaged. However, this does not prevent refugees from pouring into Hancheng, at least they are not so easy to die in the ice and snow.
Three days ago, Hanchen Academy posted a notice on the four gates, saying that there was going to be a city-wide feast. The common people had no clear idea about this. They did not understand the difference between the blood food of foreign strongmen and the blood food of ordinary pigs, cattle and sheep. It’s different, just understand that this feast is provided for free, and it lasts for seven days.
This is amazing!
For a time, the people were all excited, feeling like looking at plum blossoms to quench their thirst. They didn't even know they were hungry. They only thought about how they would be as happy as gods in three days. When they were talking in their sleep, they talked about drinking from a big bowl and feasting on a big meal!
In order to avoid natural disasters, many people left their hometowns and fled to counties and towns. The counties and towns could no longer survive. A few months later, they also discussed moving to the city government. But how could the city government accommodate such a large population? Except for the monks, officers and soldiers, there are either wealthy landlords or wealthy people who can be accommodated under special conditions. The rest of the people have no hope at all!
It is unknown how many people froze and starved to death on the road during this catastrophic disaster. This was because the people of Shangbei County had lived in cold areas for a long time and had some survival skills. If they were mortals in the south, they would probably die even more.
Therefore, since the news of Hancheng withdrawing the formation and opening the door of convenience has spread, more nearby people on the way have come directly, and those who are further away are extremely yearning for it, and some have already set off together! After going through countless hardships, braving the strong wind and heavy snow, stepping on the snow up to the thighs, and narrowly escaping death, we finally arrived in Hancheng!
Sure enough, the treatment in big cities is different. Porridge soup places and medical treatment places are provided free of charge. Although the accommodation problem has not been solved, no one wants to leave.
Hancheng also has a government office, but the court only provides an official residence, not soldiers and horses, and no monks to accompany it. The government office is basically useless, with only a hundred soldiers under its command, and more than 20 knights and diners, grandma It doesn't hurt, my uncle doesn't love it, it's basically just a decoration.
Hancheng was originally a municipal government, with the title of city official. In fact, it had long been the existence of a wealthy landowner, enjoying the shade under the big tree of Hanchen Academy without caring about people's livelihood.
As the saying goes, it’s not early to get started if you don’t have any benefits. They were extremely happy to get the meat of a disaster-level monster beast from the academy! The government finally came forward to cooperate with the students of the academy to maintain order in Hancheng. For three days, in the name of the government, leaflets were distributed everywhere to publicize the significance of this feast, including the seven-day menu!
This time, the people's emotions were stirred up to a state of excitement!
On the third day, it finally dawned...
Li Xiu and Pang Gu had a good discussion, and it was almost noon.
The common people who had been listening to the thunder but no raindrops until this time lost their temper and began to complain and curse.
At this time, a bell finally sounded from Hanchen Academy, spreading to every corner of Hancheng.
Everyone fell silent.
"coming!"
The streets have been cleared of snow and have long been filled with square tables. On the tables are placed large empty wooden basins, large pottery bowls, pottery pots, etc., and more open spaces are temporarily set up in rows with wooden planks. There is a long wooden table, and the tableware on the long table is also simple. It is either a large wooden basin, a stoneware bowl, a jar, a large vat, etc. In short, there are no gadgets.
There are so many people, so many mouths to take care of, and it’s hard to be precise. As for those who eat, you have to bring your own bowls and chopsticks.
At the same time, there are strong men standing guard on every street to maintain order, and no one dares to mess around.
Following the sound of "coming", thousands of people were seen rushing out of the academy one after another, standing side by side with their feet low in the air!
"Wow!"
Many people were filled with envy. They were so arrogant and awesome.
"Grandpa, grandpa, when Xiaobao grows up, he wants to fly in the sky like those brothers and sisters!"
"Xiaobao, only after you have eaten enough will you have the strength to fly!"
…
After a while, the thousands of people began to group into groups and scattered everywhere.
People were very surprised. It was true that the gods came out, but they were empty-handed and didn't bring anything with them. What was going on?
Then, another burly man flew out from the academy, carrying a large wooden stake, which was ten feet long and as thick as a millstone. He roared, then rose into the sky, and when he fell, the wooden stake was thrown away. The pile was inserted into the ground and submerged three to four feet! Without stopping, he stretched out his hand and grabbed it. A strange, round and bulging toad, as big as three feet in diameter, was caught in the man's hand and threaded through the top of the wooden stake. Then he looked around and shouted: "Today is a banquet for all demons! Dear fellow villagers, young men and women from eight counties in the country! Eat freely. After you have eaten, go to the entrance of Hanchen Academy or the entrance of the government office. Report, this city is recruiting a large number of laborers to build the city and build houses to cope with the more brutal snowstorms! Winter is coming soon! I hope everyone can work together! Let's build our new home together!"
After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and said: "The time is up, let's start the banquet!"
