Chapter 76 Returning to Hancheng to report the casualties
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 the results of your cultivation 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 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."
"Be willing to give up? What do you mean?" Pang Gu was stunned.
Li Xiudao: "If the academy is completely opened up and there is no discrimination in the true sense, the three flowers on your head may not be preserved!"
"Now even if I tell you that I am willing to let go, I am afraid you may not believe it. If I say that I am not willing to let go, you may not be happy in your heart. Therefore, whether I am willing to let go or not cannot be explained clearly in one sentence. Are you right?" Pang Gu said.
This time it was Li Xiu's turn to be stunned. After a long time, 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 can 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 'Selected 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,
Such a generous move, even if the imperial court intervenes, 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 destiny of the country. In the end, everyone who participated had to die. On the contrary, those who participated in the liquidation were all
Benefits gained!”
The news revealed was shocking enough. Li Xiudao said: "We live in a corner. If we really wait for the situation to break out, I'm afraid we won't know how we died. Even an outsider like me is thinking about a question."
"I'm afraid the question you mentioned is also 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 did he fail to conquer the sky? To put it more directly, who is the emperor who is currently in the court?"
"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 that of the previous dynasty when the Daguan Kingdom was in its heyday. Even if there really is a supreme existence, 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 caused by the Supreme!"
"Indeed!" Pang Gu sighed.
The two of them chatted a few more words casually, but felt that it was boring and had no idea, so they speeded up and hurried back to Hancheng.
Back to 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 culprits. The culprit is Li Xiu!
Li Xiu, who was originally pale due to excessive blood loss, now looked even more ugly.
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 in 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 and cold air from hundreds of miles around to gradually gather in the sky above Hancheng, forming an eye of cold air and 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 deaths and injuries!
However, Li Xiu felt strange.
Because under the scanning of his spiritual consciousness, he saw a lot of broken pieces of meat and minced meat. If it was just minus forty degrees and hailstorm, because the formation was withdrawn, the incident happened suddenly, and it was indeed unprepared, but it was not at all
It cannot freeze a living person in an instant, let alone break it when touched.
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, that is, after the formation was withdrawn and the cold air formed the eye of air flow and poured into the city in a short period of time, 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 similar to 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 back to his senses and kept himself objective and rational. Although there are many masters of various races in Hancheng today, there are probably very few people who are proficient in the principles of liquid nitrogen vaporization. Liquid Nitrogen
Vaporization 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 lineage of 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 combination of natural disasters!
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 confused.
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 no trace of the original inventory is left.
Oh, alas! Especially in the Beixiang wooden house area, 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 or rebuild it, but the residents in that area are the families and descendants of criminals. Those family members and descendants are either Panggu's enemies, or they were exterminated
After killing the family members and descendants of the small sect, Hanchen Academy can develop to this day. In addition to Pang Gu's luck and the academy's reformed teaching system, another important factor is that it is one of the three major sects in Shangbei County.
There is a spiritual mine belonging to Hanchen Academy. The competition for the spiritual mine has always been fierce and cruel, and it was the most severe in the Dharma Ending Age. Pangu set aside a piece of land to keep the families and descendants of those criminals. His merits are immeasurable, but now it has changed.
It's meaningless!
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 instructors at Hanchen Academy who were collecting ice corpses and treating frostbitten people, there were several other teams 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 snatch the entrance to the ancient Bei Minghai Cave. There were also several casual cultivators as representatives who came to meet Pangu!
