"That's the price."
Qin Chuancheng wrapped the scales with bandages again, making a complicated voice.
After enduring too much energy and blood that does not belong to oneself, apart from barely maintaining a human form, one almost ceases to be a human being.
No wonder he would wrap up his whole body, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed - even his eyes turned blood red, like blood diamonds.
He has indeed exceeded the life limit of a grandmaster, but it is hard to say whether he is still a human being now.
"This bone does contain the blood of witches."
Qing Pingzi was extremely certain, "The longevity is extremely long, the supernatural power is innate, and it can subtly transform other living beings. This is the sign of the blood of witches!"
According to legend, witches can create new creatures, and even humans are created by witches.
Every metaphor in mythology represents a kind of power that is unimaginable to ordinary people when it comes to reality.
A scattered bone can give birth to a grandmaster, or even transform a grandmaster. This is only the legacy of the monsters with the blood of witches in the golden elixir period. It is simply unimaginable how powerful the real witches were in the past!
"It can't be that there are only advantages and no disadvantages, right?"
Gu Dan seems to have noticed something. As a great master with superb medical skills and martial arts attainments that have reached the pinnacle of the world, he understands a truth.
The gift of strength must have a reason!
Qin Chuancheng successfully passed the time of becoming a master through this bone, but what was the price?
"The disadvantage is that it is extremely lethargic and rarely wakes up. When faced with it, there is no resistance at all and no thought of resistance. Its breath alone is enough to make me tremble."
Qin Chuancheng pointed to the bone and said calmly: "You have to sleep for at least six hours a day, sometimes even longer. Speaking of longevity, it has exceeded the upper limit of a master, but based on the time of waking up, it is just a hard time. It took a while.”
Qing Pingzi was thoughtful.
Under normal circumstances, a grandmaster can stay up for several days and nights without any problem. Even if he needs to repair his body, he will still feel refreshed after a night's rest.
Sleepiness like this is somewhat similar to hibernation, which only temporarily stores life and forcibly extends it, rather than directly increasing a person's lifespan.
As for the thought of not resisting when facing this bone, it is not a big problem now. After all, it is just a bone. If you can watch it, there is no danger. If you can't watch it, you can resist. It doesn't matter. It is not a big trouble.
Eliminating the problem of being restricted by bones, the biggest advantage is that the thickness of life can be weakened and the length can be increased, at the cost of not being like a human body.
Under normal circumstances, this item is quite useless, and the slight increase in combat power it brings cannot overwhelm the Grandmaster, but the side effects are quite serious.
But now the immortal is coming back!
If there is a living being whose life span is short, this method may be used to survive until the immortal comes to the world.
In this way, there is still hope of turning things around with the help of immortal magic.
Of course, it is also possible to be encountered by an immortal and be killed immediately as an evil heretic before you have time to defend yourself.
"this thing"
Gu Dan shook his head, slightly disappointed.
This thing is really powerful.
But it was of little use to him.
His longevity does not need to use this method at all, not to mention the side effects, which he will not consider at all.
"No matter how you say it, this thing is a bone from the Golden Core stage, close to the Nascent Soul stage, and it still contains the essence and blood of its origin.
Direct absorption will cause its own changes, but if you understand its magic according to the principles of its operation, you may gain something with your talent. "
Qing Pingzi said immediately.
When Qin Chuancheng heard Qingpingzi's proposal, he kept silent and had no objection at all.
The other party has already shown unrivaled strength. If you give him face, it's called negotiation. If you don't give him face, it means Dayong is still there or not.
Giving in is sometimes an option, at least Gu Dan didn't act too aggressively.
"The stuff is indeed good stuff."
Gu Dan nodded lightly. This bone could not directly increase his combat power, but there was no need to increase his combat power in this world.
Is there any big difference between killing six grandmasters and eight grandmasters in one go?
Sweeping from left to right.
If one could gain something from this bone containing the blood of witches, it wouldn't necessarily be worse than a direct increase in combat power.
But that's not the priority.
"Do you know why I came to Dayong?"
Gu Dan asked.
"I heard that you are a close friend of Mo Qiu. I guess you came here because of the Big Moon incident?"
Qin Chuancheng did not dare to neglect, "Whatever conditions you have, Dayong will do everything possible to meet them, and there will be no deviation."
As the eldest person in the country that founded the country after the Grand Master's Disaster and still stands today, Qin Chuancheng deeply understands the horror of power.
Unless Gu Dan was not prepared to let the people of Dayong live, he would have to endure the pain of cutting his own skin and breaking his arms.
When a person's personal power reaches this level, it is beyond the ordinary world, and the so-called imperial power will be resigned to it and be treated like a cow or a horse.
Gu Worrying had already prepared a plan, and he said without hesitation: "I want to know the specific situation of Dayong's treasury, as well as the specific limits of the resources and manpower that Dayong can mobilize."
"this"
Qin Chuancheng was stunned. Wasn't this because he wanted to directly wipe out the entire country of Dayong?
A lion can’t swallow it all in one breath even if it opens its mouth wide!
"Is there a problem?"
Gu Dan's expression remained unchanged, only his voice was filled with unquestionable determination.
This is not a consultation, but an order.
Just like when the four-nation coalition army conquered Dayue, there was no need to negotiate. Now it is time for Dayong to be a fish.
If you agree, Dayong is afraid that his national strength will be greatly damaged, and it will take decades to recuperate before he can recover.
If you don’t agree, forget it.
"no problem!"
After just a moment of hesitation, Qin Chuancheng nodded in agreement, but still said: "It takes some time to count these things."
"Can."
Gu Dan did not continue to press hard, and looked up at the sky. Although the sun was shining on him, there was no warmth at all. Winter had arrived.
So Gu Dan added: "Dayong's soldiers and horses in Dayue will be withdrawn first, and the remaining people will stay to deal with the matter after the Yuan River bursts its embankment. During this period, all kinds of supplies can only be more, not less, and must be provided as quickly as possible." Shipped at the speed.”
"good."
This time he didn't even need to think, Qin Chuancheng agreed wholeheartedly.
The winter season is not suitable for using troops. Otherwise, the attrition caused by the cold climate may not be less than those killed in battle, and it will also be a great test for logistics.
If there are less people, there will be less consumption. After all, winter is very inconvenient for ordinary people.
His attitude made Gu Dan very satisfied, so he stated the last condition, "Change the emperor of Dayong. You can choose a new one yourself, but this one must abdicate in favor of a worthy one. Do you understand? What do I mean?"
"I see."
Qin Chuancheng seemed to understand a little.
Mo Qiu's best friend Mo Qiu's best friend!
He didn't even want to leave his name, but he made these requests.
Then how far does Mo Qiu need to cultivate his virtue to be able to make such a close friend?
"Next time I come here, I hope Dayong has prepared everything. Of course, if you still want to fight again, that's okay."
Gu Dan said calmly: "At that time, Dayong can be removed from the list."
Qin Chuancheng lowered his head deeply and expressed his attitude silently.
"Let's go."
Gu Dan waved and motioned for Qing Pingzi to follow.
It is necessary to go to each of the four countries once to let their royal families and their masters understand that times have changed.
"May I ask if you have been to Daqi?"
Seeing that Gu Dan was about to leave, Qin Chuancheng took the initiative to ask.
"oh?"
Gu Dan turned around and said, "It's not over yet."
"I have a token here. When you go to the Great Prayer, if their master wants to stop it, you can just take it out. Although this is not necessary for you, you can also let him retreat and reduce the number of people. casualties."
Qin Chuancheng took out a broken jade pendant with dragon pattern and said quickly.
"Among the Grandmasters of Daqi, is there anyone from Da Yong?"
As soon as he heard this, Gu Dan understood what was going on.
Unexpectedly, thirteen grandmasters were not Dayong's limit, and he still had enough energy to place grandmasters in other countries.
This is not a simple matter. If a foreign master wants to gain the trust of the royal family, you can imagine how difficult it will be.
"Ahem, Daqi has always been arrogant and domineering. It's just a secret move to prepare for emergencies."
Qin Chuancheng said a little embarrassed.
Before meeting Gu Dan, a grandmaster can influence the direction of a country.
But now that he has met Gu Dan, the grandmaster is just a grandmaster and can no longer cause too much trouble. It makes no difference whether he is lurking or not.
Because what the grandmaster said now also depends on what another person means.
After witnessing Gu Dan's achievements with his own eyes, I am afraid that no master would want to touch him again.
"I see."
Dayue, Yuzhou.
Wang Mang is very busy.
Before Gu Dan left, he asked him to do his best to gather the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, stabilize the situation in Yuzhou, and save the victims.
It sounds like just a few words, but in reality, it is endless trouble.
But the biggest problem at present is lack of manpower and insufficient supplies.
The White Lotus Sect has been plowed by the Dayue Army. Although there are not very few people left, they can fight, but their ability to deal with disasters and rectify people's livelihood is far behind, let alone The ability to manage the world and benefit the people is almost impossible to count on.
The number of Mohists was not large to begin with, and they were washed away by the flood again. They were in disarray, and it was difficult to gather them in a short time.
Fortunately, he is not alone.
White Lotus Saint Xu Wanrong, Mohist new master Qin Lisheng, Xun Ke, and even Qing Pingzi's disciples Zou Dan and Zhuang Sheng were also helping, each leading some people to handle the chores.
It can be considered that the situation was barely maintained.
But the lack of supplies means there is really no other way.
Yuzhou is originally the granary of the Big Moon. If it is hit by such a disaster, the damage will be uncountable. It is also winter, where does the food come from?
The more people are saved, the less food there is.
Seeing that as the flood disaster eased and more and more people were rescued, Wang Mang frowned more and more.
If we continue to save him, the food will not be able to hold on.
Food is only one of them.
In winter, when the severe cold is approaching, those flooded houses are no longer habitable, and the victims who have gathered here can only endure hardships on both sides of the street, waiting for porridge and rice twice a day.
Just waiting for the first winter snow to arrive, I don’t know how many people will be frozen to death outside.
"Wang Lang, the news has spread, and many people have come to our place to take refuge during this period."
White Lotus Saint Xu Wanrong walked over with windy steps, her face was pale and her voice was haggard.
"That's good."
Wang Mang's eyes were bloodshot and he hadn't had a good rest for more than ten days. Even the body of a master Zang Zang practitioner began to protest. However, he still tried to cheer up and kept talking non-stop: "Those people who come here, don't let them go." Idle. Winter is coming soon. It is difficult to build a house and there is no time. But the shed must be built quickly. There must be a place to shelter from the wind and rain. It must be before the first snow.
The shed is not built for others, it is for them to live in! Let them all have snacks, and you must not save your energy at this time. Most of our manpower has been sent out to rescue people. The victims must be busy to give them a full meal. When they are busy, they have no time to think. "
In order to gather the victims as soon as possible, the name of the White Lotus Sect must not be used. Wang Mang did not hesitate to use the banner of Mo Qiu and the Mo Sect.
It was claimed that the Mo family was stationed here in Yuzhou and would provide disaster relief and rescue the people. Any people in Dayue Kingdom who needed help could come to seek help.
Mo Qiu's accumulated reputation finally came to great use.
Qiuye Village can no longer be inhabited in a short period of time, and their troops have withdrawn to a place called Wang'an County. The terrain here is quite high, and the flood will have less impact on it, and they can also have a place to gather the victims.
Real flood control is out of the question. Wave after wave of victims are gathering all the time. As the person appointed by Gu Dan, Wang Mang does not dare to slack off at all. He can only repeat over and over again. After countless times, we still have to find ways to maintain basic order.
"Wang Lang."
Pursing her dry lips, Xu Wanrong grabbed Wang Mang's hand.
"how?"
Wang Mang turned his head and asked anxiously.
"We can't take in any more people. Food. Food can only last for more than ten days. If we save some, we might be able to last for a month. But if more people come, more than ten days will not be enough."
Xu Wanrong said weakly.
The flood came too fast, and the White Lotus Sect's granary was also affected, causing great losses.
Although there are still some surviving granaries under the three cunning rabbit burrows, in order to appease people's hearts, Wang Mang would feed the refugees who came to show his attitude and maintain order. The food was consumed very quickly.
People's hearts have indeed been appeased, but there is nowhere to replenish the food shortage.
Is it possible to continue the White Lotus Sect's old profession, shouting, raising the sword, and leading the refugees to kill and rob the imperial court of food?
Let’s not talk about whether this idea is reliable in winter and whether it is too late. What should we do if we just talk about disaster relief?
Make bricks without straw!
Wang Mang's lips were slightly opened, and thousands of words were stuck in his throat. After a moment, his bloodshot eyes became fierce, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Take it, keep taking it!"
"Wang Lang?"
Xu Wanrong said puzzledly: "Now is not the time to be soft-hearted. If this continues, we won't be able to hold on."
"It's not soft-hearted, it's not soft-hearted."
Wang Mang gritted his teeth, "Have you forgotten what Brother Gu said before he left? Do your best to save people at all costs, and try your best to do everything as well as possible."
"Brother Gu."
Xu Wanrong was startled and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Gu's strength is very strong, and he can make the four countries retreat. But it's only been more than ten days, and we may not even have time to rush. How can we be so fast? What if we take the first step? If we can’t support it, what will we do then? We can’t let everyone starve to death!”
"no no."
Wang Mang shook his head and said, "That's not the way it is calculated. This time, it is the banner of the Mohist family and the reputation of Mozi. We can only do our best to do our best, and we must not let it get dusty. There are no multiple choices and If you choose less, you can only go all the way to the dark side, otherwise Yuzhou will stop here!
It is difficult to win the hearts of the people, but it is easy to lose them quickly. Now is a time when people are uncertain. The spread of the news here can give some hope to those who have been affected by the disaster but have not come over yet.
Once we show our attitude here that we will no longer accept it, the world outside will completely rot! There is absolutely a difference between having hope and having no hope! "
