Li Ang was silent for a moment and asked in confusion: "Fifty years... can anyone survive?"
"Neng. The people live in the few remaining cities and royal cities, relying on strong walls and high barriers to resist the invasion of vines. The few farmlands can still produce food, and the poultry and livestock contaminated by demons are also full of growth.
Abnormal sarcoma grows as it is cut."
The expression on the mountain leader's face was a little strange, "It's just that people have become different.
Newborns have never seen clean drinking water or healthy animals. In their eyes, a "normal person" should have multiple arms, legs, and even multiple heads.
The remaining books and paintings show a human being with a head, two arms, and no scales or horns on his body, which is abnormal."
"..."
Li Ang narrowed his eyes. Taihaoshan named this phenomenon of collective dehumanization of a group of people's appearance as distortion, or demonization.
When a demonization event occurs in a certain area, it proves that the land has been contaminated by demons and needs to be burned with fire immediately.
In the most radical era of Taihao Mountain, the Inquisition would slaughter all the nearby villages because of a demonization in a certain area, and then set them on fire to avoid future troubles.
Because of this, when they discovered that the desolate people living in the deserted mountains would never become deformed or demonized, and would not infect outsiders, they were so shocked and stunned that they had no choice but to claim that the desolate people might be the only special case in the world.<
/p>
The mountain chief said slowly: "Once a large-scale demonization begins, it cannot be undone. On this point, the Academy and Taihao Mountain agree. If this situation were placed in the current Yu State, the Yu State would also resort to thunderous means.
Solved."
Li Ang immediately discovered the key to this sentence, "What if?"
The mountain chief said: "Even in such an environment, there are still fools who are making senseless resistance.
All the books have been soaked and rotted by moisture, and no one can produce paper anymore. Then carve words on stones and engrave the classics of Li State on stone tablets;
A very simple newspaper was made from animal skins and tree barks, and the news was written on it and delivered to every household;
Sneaking into the woods, avoiding poisonous insects and beasts along the way, and finally stealing honey, half-coaxing and half-deceiving the children to sit in the classroom and learn to read."
The mountain leader paused and said calmly: "If you were the first to discover Li Country, what would you do?"
Gudu Gudu.
The hot water in the teapot is boiling, emitting steam and hitting the lid.
The tea cup in Li Ang's hand is no longer warm, and a few tea leaves are half suspended in the water.
"...students don't know."
He thought for a long time and said truthfully, "The student just thinks that it is much better to try every possible means to become a human being than to be a cannibal with only a piece of human skin."
"Really?"
The mountain chief did not approve or deny, and continued: "The monk who first discovered Li Country used his supreme magic power to chop up the roots of trees thousands of meters deep underground and kill the tree demon.
And he took the still alive Li people out of the dense forest and sent them to an island in the Endless Sea."
"Then now they..."
"They're all dead."
The mountain chief said calmly: "Without the tree demon, the deformed body cannot survive. After two or three generations, the tribe will no longer be able to give birth to healthy newborns. The Li Kingdom completely perished, leaving only a record of their history on the island.
Stone tablet."
After that, he took out a palm-sized baby skull from his sleeve and gently placed it on the table.
The inside of the skull is covered with dense bone spurs, and a long and narrow gap opens in the middle of the eyebrow bone.
"..."
Li Ang hesitated to speak.
"Not all stories have their meaning. The tragedy that happened in Li Country is just a fragment in the long history since human beings.
Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs."
The mountain chief pressed his skull with one hand and looked up at the roof, as if he wanted to gaze through the wood and rocks at the eternal, dead starry sky.
Dang Dang Dang——
The bells of Haotian resounded throughout the academy,
The mountain leader came back to his senses, the cold expression on his face suddenly faded, and he said with a gentle smile: "Starting tomorrow, report to the Dongjun Tower. I will ask Ati to prepare the training venue for you."
Li Ang held the tea cup with a confused look on his face, "Ah?"
The mountain leader said in a relaxed tone: "Didn't Zhenfu Si notice you? If there is a war in the future, you will inevitably fight with enemy monks. You must learn to fight with enemies of the same level or even stronger opponents without using the threads in your body.
."
Last year, the states of Zhou and Jing issued proclamations, claiming that the state of Yu condoned evil and sycophants, raised demons in its palaces, provoked trouble provocatively, and created an atmosphere of war.
There is obviously Taihao Mountain’s instruction behind this.
Li Ang is very clear about his situation, and also knows that there are many people in the Yu Kingdom who don't want to see the war coming - they are worried about losing their vested interests, and they are also afraid of Taihao Mountain, which has not yet truly ended.
If Mo Si's existence is exposed, he will instantly become a loser.
"Yes."
Li Ang suppressed his doubts, put the tea cup back on the coffee table, bowed, walked out of the study, and closed the wooden door from the outside.
Squeak.
The study returned to silence, and the gentle evening breeze lifted the curtains, causing the light and shadow on the wall to change.
The mountain leader stretched out his charred right hand covered with scars from under his wide sleeves, gently picked up the baby's skull, and looked calmly into the dark eye sockets of the skull.
The evening wind blew into the house and blew over the skull, making a faint whimpering sound, like a whisper.
————
In the following period, the entire Academy and Yu State were mobilized.
A large amount of construction materials were transported to coastal areas for use in building breakwaters and city walls.
The shipyard works day and night to build ocean-going ships that can sail into the endless sea.
The villages closest to the seaside were relocated to nearby towns to reduce the pressure of defense deployment.
Doctors from the Academy took a Tianxuan to the East China Sea to observe Shuolu's migration and strive to delay or even eliminate the mutation. If there is no other way, they can only start from the edge of the ocean and hunt sea beasts to reduce the size of the herd.
Bang!
The loud noise echoed in the quiet valley,
Li Ang flew backwards and hit a cliff heavily.
While smashing out a human-shaped dent, it also shook the entire cliff.
Large areas of the cliff peeled off, and the rocks continued to fall, raising smoke and dust. Li Ang coughed and released his telekinesis, changing the falling trajectory of the boulders and throwing them forward.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Hugh——
A burly figure came running from the valley a hundred feet away, stepping on the water like walking on flat ground. Every time he punched, he could break the flying stones.
Li Ang held his breath and concentrated, spreading his mental power to the limit, like a radar, radiating the valley in front of him.
At the same time, release the palm of your right hand and let the Dragon Meteor Spear float in the air. The blade of the gun gently shakes, always locking the target's trajectory.
One hundred meters, fifty meters, twenty meters.
Li Ang suddenly clenched the palm of his left hand and activated the talisman previously buried in the ground.
Burning Talisman, Water Dragon Talisman, Electric Light Talisman, Extreme Cold Talisman...
All kinds of talismans were triggered simultaneously, covering a 20-meter-long fan-shaped area.
Even steel couldn't pass through this fan-shaped space unscathed, but that figure did it.
His body surface is lingering with the slowly flowing vigorous energy and blood. The flames are enough to melt stubborn iron, burning on the muscles and bones that have been tempered for thousands of times, leaving only a small black mark.
The most important thing is his appearance.
His beard and hair are tangled, and his face is ferocious, resembling the young generals of the country, Duke Yan, and Yan Yundang.
Boom!
At the moment when the figure ran over and punched Li Ang in the face,
The sand beneath his feet exploded again, and the violent impact caused by the blasting talisman finally caused his steps to deviate slightly.
Li Ang seized this fleeting opportunity. He used all his strength, waved his palm and pushed forward, and the Dragon Meteor Spear that had been accumulated for a long time burst out.
At such a close distance, aiming at the head is not a good choice when fighting a strong martial artist - the range of movement of the neck is too large, enough for the warrior to lean back and avoid the spear.
Therefore, Li Ang aimed at his spine.
The Dragon Meteor Spear flew whistlingly, and the phantom of a dragon's head looming over the blade of the gun.
Time seemed to slow down at this moment. The warrior raised his left hand and tried his best to block the spear.
The tip of the spear penetrated the palm of the hand. Driven by the entire palm, it barely deflected by an inch, and finally passed between the third and fourth ribs.
This is the position of the heart.
A trace of relief flashed across Li Ang's eyes. Just when he was spinning his palms, preparing to release his telekinesis to completely tear the warrior who looked like Yan Yundang into pieces,
The warrior, whose heart was penetrated, tightly grasped Long Yun with his left hand to prevent the spear from moving. At the same time, he took a step further and punched Li Ang's right shoulder in an extremely reluctant posture.
Snap!
The figure of the warrior completely exploded and turned into misty white smoke, and the entire valley with quiet scenery also turned into vast mist. It shrank back into a copper-made incense burner in the shape of Suan Ni.
The smoke disappeared, revealing the original appearance of the empty room with only four blank walls.
Li Ang stood alone in the center of the room, unscathed, except for the white chalk-like fist marks remaining on his right shoulder.
"It took half an hour to challenge the thirty-seven-year-old Yan Yundang,"
The puppet servitor named Ati stood next to the exclusive trolley, taking notes with a pen, and said in a dull tone: "Failure."
On the small cart, there is the Suani incense burner.
Li Ang stood there and let out a long breath, released his telekinesis, picked up the Dragon Meteor spear that fell on the ground in front of him, dropped it back into his hand, and complained: "Didn't I penetrate his heart and break six ribs? Why is this like this?
Can you still move?
As far as I know, the military exercises that Duke Yan practiced when he was young did not have the function of "continuing to move even if the heart and lungs are broken."
"Indeed not."
Ati said calmly: "However, Yan Yundang, who is thirty-seven years old and has reached the perfect state of an innate warrior, is at the peak of his mind, body, and skills.
Theoretically, it has the ability to adjust the position of organs through the contraction and relaxation of blood vessels, muscles, and tendons.
At the moment of the fight, he urgently controlled his heart and moved it a few inches to his right side, preventing Long Yun from completely destroying his heart and lungs.
So I still have a little energy to throw a punch.
And the force of that punch is just enough to penetrate your telekinesis defense, break your shoulder, and expose Mo Si."
"...So many are just right, but too far-fetched, right?"
Li Ang rubbed his eyebrows and said with a headache: "Believe it or not, I will ask Duke Yan now to estimate whether he was capable of doing what you said when he was young."
Ati remained unmoved, "Be lenient when anticipating the enemy, and be strict when defending against the enemy. Every time you use the Suanni stove, a lot of materials are consumed,"
Therefore, every battle must be done to the extreme to maximize the training effect.
This is also the meaning of the mountain chief."
Seeing that the other party moved out of the mountain, Li Ang had no choice but to raise his hands and surrender, "Okay, okay, what you said is right. Give me a quarter of an hour to recover my energy, and let's do it again."
Unexpectedly, Arti shook his head, put down the pen and paper, and said in a dull tone: "That's it for today."
"Huh?"
Li Ang frowned and asked: "Why?"
Ati said: "Today, there are still alienated objects in the Dongjun Building that have not been maintained yet. I have to go to work. Your breathing is also messed up. You need to calm down."
"Okay."
Knowing that he was indeed not in the best condition, Li Ang nodded in agreement, casually tore open a breeze charm, let the breeze blow through his body, and quickly dried the sweat on his body.
He patted away the punch marks on his shoulders and walked towards the exit of the room. When he was about to walk out of the room, he couldn't help but glance at Ati from the corner of his eye.
No matter how you think about it, being able to say words full of individual will like "I'm going to get busy" is not like a simple puppet machine.
As if noticing Li Ang's eyes, Ati raised his head and asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Ang shook his head, "Nothing."
"Oh."
Ati said indifferently: "I noticed just now that Long Yun's firing speed was a little slower than before. Do you need to take it back here and recheck it?"
】
"No. I'll leave first. You can do your work."
Li Ang quickly shook his head again. The Dragon Meteor Spear inherited the ability to change size obtained by breaking through the bronze box in the previous world line.
He has not told the Academy about this matter, so it still needs to be kept secret and Arti cannot know about it.
He quickly walked out of the room and left Dongjun Tower.
Just as the prince said back then, Dongjun Tower is indeed the treasure house of Yu State. There are countless good things.
The alienated object called Suanni Furnace is one of them.
This incense burner can record the information of the monk who touches it, and in the form of white smoke, summons a shadow with several powers of the original monk.
Yan Yundang, the general of the Zhenguo, Lin Hongbo, the commander of the Zhenfu Division, Ye Dantai Leshan, the Fu Xuesi Division, Shen Tuyu was enshrined in the imperial palace, and even had good relations with the academy, and Luli was once invited to Dongjun Tower to burn messages.
Academy Luqingya.
Even the phantoms of the past academy chiefs can be summoned.
Of course, Suanni furnace also has considerable limitations.
Each time it is activated, more than the quota of spiritual power must be input in advance. The upper limit of the number of summoned phantoms is three, and the maximum duration is a quarter of an hour. The phantoms have no intelligence and will only fight non-stop according to the style of the original monk.
p>
And once you leave that room, the shadow will disintegrate by itself.
Therefore, the greatest purpose of the Suanni Furnace is to train the most promising monks of the Yu Kingdom who are about to break through the realm of Zhuxiao.
Thinking about it, if there are no taboos in the Suan Ni Furnace, why not hide in the dark for a few years, summon the heroic spirits of all the mountain chiefs in one go, and go directly to Taihao Mountain to bulldoze the Taoist gate and end the problem.
Li Ang shook his head, getting rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind, and walked along the tree-lined path towards the back mountain house, "I'm back."
