"Did you know that a wizard appeared at the East City Gate and was able to control fierce leopards?"
"Ah? It's the leopard that's attacking people like crazy outside right now. How is this possible?!"
"Really, I saw it with my own eyes. The wizard was dissatisfied with the closure of the city and wanted to go out, but the guards refused to let him go. Hearing a crash, a fierce leopard as tall as a man jumped out from beside him. Everyone was frightened.
The wizard got on the leopard and broke through the city gate with two swipes. He also said that we were all making a fuss. In their Shu Mountain, everyone can be friends with the leopard, and there is no such thing as any animal disaster."
"I know Shushan. I have heard their legends. It turns out there really is Shushan."
"That's right. If we had the ability to tame fierce leopards, why would we still be afraid of these beasts? We would train them all into puppies."
…
"Have you heard that the legendary Shu Mountain has a way to quell this beast disaster?"
"Really or not, now the entire Shu County is on lockdown. The governor and the Qin State have nothing to do. What can Shushan do?"
"Of course it's true. Shushan has sent disciples out to provide disaster relief. They have the means to tame the crazy beast."
…
"Hey, I heard a secret message. Shushan has a way to solve the beast riot outside."
"What?!"
"Shh~ Everyone has seen with their own eyes that the people of Shushan can control all kinds of beasts. As long as Shushan takes action, we will definitely be able to return to normal life."
"Then what are you waiting for? Go and seek help from Shushan."
"I heard that it was King Qin's intention. Shushan is just a sect. How could Da Qin be so humble as to beg a Tu sect."
"You bastard, just for the sake of his Qin country's face, he doesn't treat the people of Shu as human beings!"
…
"The beast disaster this time is caused by a sect that has been passed down in Shu for thousands of years. Shushan deliberately spread it in order to make everyone have to respect his position. His intention is to be punished~"
"..."
In a short period of time, rumors spread all over Shu County and Ba County, pushing Shushan, who had always been living in seclusion, to the forefront.
Most of the rumors are nonsense and self-contradictory. However, at this time when disasters are raging and people's hearts are in turmoil, these rumors, although clumsy, still exert an effect beyond 100%.
Several months of isolation have made it unbearable for most people. Businessmen have gone bankrupt in large numbers, farmers have no way to survive, and the production of wealthy families with industries has all come to a standstill, and they have been unable to get out...
Regardless of whether the Shushan that emerged at this time is a life-saving medicine or a poisonous drink, a large number of people who are confused about the future strongly hope that the county governor (don't worry about the adults, as long as they can talk), will
Shushan please come out, at least this is a hope.
…
In the Chengdu County Sheriff's Mansion, Zhang Ling took a photo of the intelligence files he had collected over the past few days on the case, supported his head with one hand, and closed his eyes.
His breathing was dull and long. He thought about it for a long time, and finally said: "Come, please invite General Dong Yi and Master Yueshen."
"yes."
Luna and Dong Yi arrived soon. After a brief greeting, Zhang Ling went straight to the point and made his request.
"General Dong, Master Mage, the two of you who live in the city must know a lot about what happened in the past few days. There is something going on in the mausoleum, and I would like to ask you to help me."
"Lord Sheriff, please tell me if there is any issue regarding the recent rumors."
Dong Yi sat upright, his sword never leaving his body, looking directly at Zhang Ling with bright eyes, waiting for him to speak.
The Moon God shook his head secretly, slightly, "My lord, the Zhang family has been the guardian of Shu since the reign of King Zhaoxiang. Now there are rumors. Is the legendary Shu Mountain really capable of eliminating animal disasters?"
"To be honest with you two, the Shushan Wu Clan is indeed a magical sect. In the past history, although they left very few traces, they still exist. My father even visited Shushan himself back then.
As for whether they have the ability to eliminate disasters, no one knows until they try."
Zhang Ling ordered someone to hand the intelligence dossier to the two of them respectively, and explained at the same time: "The emergence of the rumors is not accidental, it must be a black hand who wants to drag Shushan into this turmoil.
And for the panicked people in central Shu, these rumors hit home. No matter what, I had to express my attitude to people. Due to two considerations, I had to go to Shu Mountain.
But with the situation in Shu County, I, the governor, can never leave, so..."
"This..." Dong Yi was embarrassed.
Calculating the time, Zhang Han should also have finished his investigation in Bajun. Next, he should quickly send all the news to Xianyang to let the king know. To ensure that the news reaches Xianyang through the plank road, experts are indispensable.
The key point of the arrival of the Shadow Guards was to collect intelligence, so that Ying Zheng could not turn a blind eye to the situation in Shu, and by the way, he gave the Bashu County Governor a quick-acting life-saving pill. Now they are asked to divert to Shushan, and I don't know how long it will be delayed.
The Moon God knew Dong Yi's concerns, so she took matters into her own hands.
Moon Goddess is different from people like Qin. Because she is from the Yin and Yang family, she cares about Shushan very much. She also learned about the crisis represented by Yu Yuan's seal through Lu Yan.
The large-scale turmoil in Bashu has developed to this day, and suddenly someone wants to drag Shushan into trouble, which makes her suspicious in her heart.
"General Dong, the Shadow Guard has an important responsibility for the king, so let's leave this matter to the Moon Goddess."
Dong Yi frowned, "Mr. Master, how can I let you be in danger?"
"What the Lord Sheriff said is not unreasonable. If the public opinion driven by rumors is ignored, it will easily lead to greater disasters at this tense moment. Since the people behind the scenes are dragging Shushan into trouble, then go to Shushan to find out, maybe we can get something
More clues."
Luna directly used the situation to make Dong Yi speechless.
"Furthermore, the Shushan Wu Clan is a tribe with a long history in Bashu. This disaster has affected the entire Shu, and they will never be able to stay away.
The officials of the Qin State will contact Shushan sooner or later. Since they want to contact Shushan, it is better to do it as soon as possible. At the same time, they may be able to use their tactics."
Zhang Ling heard her words and secretly praised in his heart: The protector of the country, the Moon God, is well-deserved. He is indeed a figure who has assisted the king since the Lao Ai Rebellion. Dong Yi is meticulous and calm, but he does not know how to adapt.
.Forget it, the Shadow Guard is indeed the King's order. Fortunately, this time the Moon God is willing to help.
He breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands to the Moon God and said: "Master Mage, you are willing to go to Shushan instead of Ling. It really solves an urgent need."
The Moon Goddess lowered his head slightly, with a smile on his lips, and returned the same greeting, "Your Majesty, the Governor said seriously, the Moon Goddess is just doing his best for the people of Sichuan, so that they can avoid living in such panic for one day."
"The Shushan witch tribe has priests who are proficient in witchcraft, as well as warriors who are good at strange fighting techniques. The tribe is stationed hidden in the mountains and is protected by magic."
As Zhang Ling spoke, he took out an old roll of parchment and walked down to deliver it to the Moon God himself. "This is the route map that my late father used to visit Shushan. Master Mage, remember to be careful and don't rashly conflict with the Witch Clan."
Luna took the map, feeling the texture of the parchment in her hands, and her eyes glowed faintly under her gauze.
Shushan Wu Clan, Yu Yuan's seal, the key to many secrets in this world, it really takes no effort to obtain it.
