Chapter 100: At the border that attracts global attention, the first battle in the world begins! ([-] words)
At dawn the next day, Wu Wenqi, the commander-in-chief of Dongshan Prefecture, led several soldiers to the construction site.
The construction team, which took several days to assemble, evacuated Dongshan Prefecture in an orderly manner overnight.
The sudden fall from the original hustle and bustle to the silence at this moment deeply touched Wu Wenqi's heart.
"General Wu, did you come so early?"
The voice of Fu Yin Li Mi came from behind. After this period of frequent interaction, the relationship between the two became much closer than before.
Wu Wenqi nodded, then looked in the direction of the city wall and sighed deeply:
"When it was not completed, I was looking forward to it being completed every day. Now that it is completed, suddenly everyone has left. The past few months have been like a dream..."
“Yes, on the way here, I saw that all the large construction vehicles that were originally packed with people parked on the roadside were gone.
Originally, construction workers could be seen busy 24 hours a day, but now it suddenly became quiet.
I've been used to it for three months..."
The two shared their feelings with each other. As senior leaders, they had been following the progress of the project every day, but now suddenly everything was over.
This means that everything they are familiar with ends here, and they can no longer participate in the next actions, so every step they take is full of unknowns.
However, it was with emotion that the two of them quickly implemented the tasks assigned by Zhao Qi.
"All assembly!"
Following the commander's order, all the soldiers stationed at the construction site in Weihai County came from all directions and soon stood in a formation. They all looked at Wu Wenqi solemnly, waiting for him to issue new orders.
"Comrades, your mission has been completed. Take the time to evacuate and report back to the military area!"
Such orders were also issued in the other three cities and counties at the same time. Without saying a word, the soldiers turned around and walked towards the military vehicles on the roadside.
The bustle has faded away, and the hustle and bustle has subsided in the sound of the waves.
……
In the past three months, both the evacuees in the resettlement sites and the urban citizens who have set up resettlement sites have been paying attention to the situation in Dongshan Prefecture.
It stands to reason that it has been three months since the tsunami warning was issued. Although the city has been raining heavily, the return instructions should have been issued long ago.
The people did not expect that they would stay in this resettlement site for nearly three months.
During this period, all news reports only changed from days of heavy rain to days of heavy snow, without mentioning the specific situation at all.
This incident once aroused heated discussion on the Internet. Both the people of Dongshan Prefecture and citizens of other cities were confused about the situation in Sicheng County.
"It's been three months and there's been no movement at all. Have you forgotten us?"
"I find this matter more and more strange. First of all, the country cannot forget us. In the past three months, our food and daily necessities have not been cut off. But why has the country not allowed us to return to the city? , are you hiding something?"
"I am not a conspiracy theory person, and I absolutely believe in the country, but when I look at this matter carefully, it really doesn't feel right. The tsunami crisis should be over by now, and we should have returned to the city long ago. What do you think?"
More and more people are participating in the topic of discussion. In the past month, the topic has remained very popular, and it has only calmed down a little recently.
After all, even if they say a thousand words, there will be no authoritative response in the end. Their ideas will always be just ideas. As time goes by, they will no longer be willing to waste energy on discussions.
But just today, a new piece of news emerged, making this topic hot again.
[A large number of construction teams came back from Yanhai County today, and the previously stalled projects have started one after another! 】
When this news appeared, it immediately attracted responses from all parties.
"We are here too. A large number of construction teams got off the expressway and the road was blocked!"
"Isn't this a coincidence? Where did all these construction teams go?"
"The construction teams seem to have come down from the highways in the four cities and counties that have been blocked!"
This last piece of news awakened everyone. More and more people suddenly realized it, and the conversation in the comment area quickly began to change.
"Is it understandable that after the evacuation of Sicheng County three months ago, all construction sites were suspended, and all the construction teams actually went to Sicheng County?"
“There haven’t been any substantive news reports from the Quad-Cities County in the past few months, so even if they are building something, we don’t know!”
"Yes, that must be the case, otherwise these construction teams would have no reason to pass through the blocked city-county expressway!"
More and more netizens participated in the discussion, and this latest discovery gave them a feeling of enlightenment.
"But having said that, all the construction teams in Dongshan Prefecture gathered in Sicheng County to build what?"
“Did the tsunami crisis cause damage to the city and they went to repair it?”
"That's impossible. Didn't the news reports say that when the tsunami reached the shore, it had lost its power?"
A new question arises: what exactly is being built in Sicheng County?
Not to mention the need for cooperation from all construction teams in Dongshan Prefecture, the battle line was stretched for three months.
Judging from the number of people and time, the construction project must be of a certain scale.
"Is it because of the construction that we are not allowed to go back?"
"What happened in Sicheng County, Dongshan Prefecture? Why am I getting more and more confused."
"When can we go home? We can't just stay in the resettlement site forever..."
Related topics are becoming more popular than ever before.
……
In Xiandao County, Dongshan Prefecture, Wang Lei carried several gift boxes and knocked on a door.
"Hey, eldest nephew, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why did you think of coming to see me?"
The man who came to the door welcomed Wang Lei into the door with a smile, and his wife also entertained him warmly.
After sitting on the sofa and chatting for a while, Wang Lei went straight to the topic and said mysteriously:
"Uncle, aren't you from the construction team? You haven't been at home for the past three months. Did you go to the Sicheng County that was under lockdown?"
When the man heard this, he immediately understood that this nephew would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.
So soon, he waved his hand:
"If we talk about this, forget it, there's nothing to say..."
The more this happened, the more curious Wang Lei became, but no matter how he asked, the man just wouldn't tell.
There was no other way, Wang Lei could only get up and go to the kitchen.
"Auntie, where has my uncle gone?"
The movement of the woman's hand paused for a moment, and then she sighed softly:
"Three months ago, he suddenly said he was leaving for a business trip, and he left for three months.
After I came back, I also asked the questions you asked, but he didn't mention a word.
Not long after he returned home, someone in a black suit approached him, and it seemed that he had signed a document.
Every time I asked, he said it was confidential and it would be a crime to tell him..."
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Wang Lei looked at the man sitting on the sofa in confusion.
This scene happened in many families. Three months after the construction workers left home, family members and relatives were all curious and asking because of the public opinion on the Internet.
However, the agents of the State Secret Service were always very prompt in dealing with the aftermath. They came to the door one after another and asked the construction workers to sign confidentiality agreements.
For three months, construction workers were required to make phone calls only at fixed times every day, and a dedicated person must be present when making calls to ensure that they would not reveal any secrets.
After returning home, some construction workers were trying to explain, but agents from the State Secret Service came to their door.
They had no choice but to keep the past three months in their stomachs and not mention it to anyone.
After Wang Lei left, like other netizens, he posted his inquiry online.
More and more people say that their relatives or family members have the same attitude, saying that it involves confidentiality and cannot be discussed with the outside world.
This made netizens even more confused. What exactly was built in Sicheng County, Dongshan Prefecture, was so strictly kept secret, and was even classified as a secret.
……
Netizens from the Great Yan Kingdom have never been the only ones paying attention to Dongshan Prefecture. The attention of various countries to the Great Yan Kingdom has intensified since that day when the Great Yan Kingdom's warships sailed to the high seas.
"Mr. Kendi, according to the information sent back by the agents of Dayan State, the four cities blocked in Dongshan Prefecture are indeed undergoing construction projects, and now all the construction teams have returned, and it is suspected that the construction has been completed."
Kendi frowned:
"Do you know what the construction project is?"
The reporter shook his head:
"Dayan Kingdom has formulated very complete confidentiality measures for this. Even their own people don't know what is being built in the four cities of Dongshan Prefecture!"
Kendi waved his hand thoughtfully:
"Continue to monitor and report any situation immediately!"
After the reporter left, Kendi made a phone call:
"Admiral, did you find anything there?"
The person who answered the phone was Admiral Riels, the commander of the exploration fleet wandering in the high seas.
"Mr. Kendi, we have been monitoring the movements of the Great Yan Kingdom's waters, but we have not found anything so far."
"Do you know what is being built in Dongshan Prefecture?"
"Mr. Kendi, we cannot enter the territorial waters of the Great Yan Kingdom, so it is difficult to detect..."
"Continue to monitor!"
After hanging up the phone, Riles looked up at the radar.
On the radar, detection ships from multiple countries were wandering on the high seas.
Everyone has the same purpose, so they keep a distance from each other and do not interfere with each other.
What secrets are hidden in Dongshanzhou of Dayan Kingdom?
This is a problem that plagues various countries, and they have been wandering in secret, waiting for opportunities to find out the secrets that Dayan Kingdom has been hiding.
……
The large-scale construction that lasted for three months came to a successful end today. The soldiers' mission has been completed and there is no reason to stay.
The endless procession of military vehicles gradually drove away from this place. The soldiers looked out the window at the towering city walls that were getting farther and farther away from them. What came to their minds was what they had experienced in the past few months.
No one expected that the sudden heavy rain lasted for more than March, and it has still turned into heavy snow and fallen quietly.
When Zhao Qi led the team members and a group of academicians out of the command room, the soldiers had disappeared at the end of the road.
Wu Wenqi didn't have time to sigh, so he hurried back to Zhao Qi and reported to Zhao Qi the current evacuation progress.
"Report to Supervisor Zhao that Sicheng County is completing the final evacuation. After the soldiers are evacuated, only the academicians of Qintian Supervisor are left in Sicheng County."
"Very good, what happens next is no longer something the soldiers can handle. Their staying here will only increase unnecessary casualties..."
With a solemn expression, Zhao Qi led everyone to the gate of Weihai County.
The city gate in front of you is tall and thick, and the Conferred God Platform above is clearly visible.
The city walls stretching on both sides were connected to other city gates, and the four cities were located, forming an unbreakable line of defense at the border.
"Let's set off according to the results of this morning's meeting. Everyone should be in their respective positions. At ten o'clock at noon, the gods will be crowned on time!"
Zhao Qi put on his coat, stood under the city gate, looked at the sea, and gave the order.
The team members all understood that they would lead the spirits to various cities and counties to ensure that at noon when the gods were consecrated, the spirits would stand in the conferencing platforms on the city gates.
Wang Wuchen led the weasel towards Binhai County, and the weasel was uncharacteristically cooperative.
It sat in the passenger seat and kept asking curious questions about this and that. The topic of the questions always revolved around the matter of becoming a god.
"Exalted Master, can I really be on the divine level?"
"Of course, it is your fate to be able to meet our emissary. After becoming a god, enjoying the incense and offerings of the common people is a matter of great benefit and no harm to you."
Wang Wuchen's words made the weasel even more excited. Wang Wuchen always patiently answered the questions it raised.
On the other side, in the car heading to Lindao County, Li Wanran and Goat Spirit also set foot on the road.
The goat spirit was also very curious about the matter of becoming a god, but Li Wanran didn't have the patience of Wang Wuchen and refused to answer any questions at all.
On the expressway in Chuyang County, Zhang Lingyuan led the mouse spirit all the way east, and it seemed particularly quiet.
The rat spirit can't speak, and Zhang Lingyuan is not good at words. Such a combination is quite suitable for each other.
Under the gate of Sicheng County, only a group of academicians are still holding on.
All other unrelated people have been evacuated. The construction site, which has been bustling for nearly three months, is now covered with snow and no one is there.
After the team members were in their respective positions, they led the spirits to the city gate. After placing the spirits on the God Conferring Stage, they stood aside and waited.
They will continue here until the Conferred God is over, and ensure that no other accidents will happen during the Conferred God.
After everything was in place, Zhang Zhenshan also brought Prince Lanling to Zhao Qi's side.
King Lanling was obviously more conscious at this moment than before. After coming to Zhao Qi's side, he said:
"There seems to be something hidden in the sea..."
Zhao Qi, who was standing aside, nodded slightly. During the waiting period, he was always looking at the direction of the sea:
"Things hidden in the sea will come out soon. Tonight, I'm afraid we will be able to see the true face of Mount Lu..."
Finally, noon arrived as promised, and the sun hung over the city gate, but in the blizzard, it could not exert any heat at all.
"Go..."
At Zhao Qi's signal, King Lanling walked up to the city gate alone and stood on the apotheosis platform.
He didn't know what would happen next, so all he could do now was trust Zhao Qi.
"Supervisor, the Shengguan Divine Conferment Platform in Lindao County is in place!"
"Supervisor, the Consecration Platform at Aoguan in Binhai County is in place!"
"Supervisor, Chuyang County's Haihaiguan Conferring God Platform is in place!"
The voices of the team members came from the headset. At this moment, the spirits were also placed on the gods' platforms at the gates of each city.
Zhao Qi took a deep breath to calm down his mood.
No one knew the pressure he was under at this moment. He had never been able to confer four gods at once.
But now there is no room left, and Zhao Qi's expression is gradually replaced by determination.
"Conferred God List, now!"
Zhao Qi's palm spread out, and a golden light pierced the sky and condensed in Zhao Qi's hand in an instant.
The golden light dissipated, and the list of gods appeared, with a soft power, causing a clear and clear boundary to form around Zhao Qi.
This is the first time that Zhao Qi has driven the power of the God List to such an extent.
"boom!"
The golden light beam reaches the sky and the earth, and the golden halo spreads in the clouds and mist.
The four cities and counties were enveloped in this golden light one after another. The four spirits standing on the Conferring God Stage were even more aware of the purity of this power.
They all raised their heads in unison, looking at the sky that was gradually turning into a golden color. Even the snowflakes that continued day and night seemed to be frozen at this moment, and there was a brief stagnation.
In Sicheng County, it seemed that only Zhao Qi could stay out of the matter at this moment.
Everyone else was frozen in place under the spread of this powerful force.
Zhao Qi looked back at the depths of the sea, and the sky was turning dark black visible to the naked eye.
"Supervisor, is it something under the sea that has discovered us and is interfering with us?"
Liu Wenbin looked at Zhao Qi solemnly and asked, but Zhao Qi quickly shook his head:
"No, those demons haven't crossed over yet. They are in another dimension and don't know the things in the human world. The reason why they have such an impact is because the Yin Qi here has been transformed into the calamity Qi.
Tribulation energy is a more terrifying existence than Yin energy, and it is also the most Yin energy.
It sensed the power of the God List and instinctively rejected it.
Keep irrelevant people away from the beach. A large amount of calamity energy can blind people's spiritual apertures and cause irreversible damage! "
Liu Wenbin quickly agreed and then began to evacuate.
A large number of academicians retreated to the safe area. Only Zhao Qi and a few team members were still at the city gate.
Zhao Qi revealed the secret in one word, but he was not worried about it because he was absolutely confident in the power of the God List.
The more evil the power, the easier it is to be suppressed in front of the Conferred Gods List.
This is the immutable law of yin and yang mutually reinforcing each other.
When the academicians came to their senses, Zhao Qi was already standing in the air holding the list of gods.
Behind him, a golden sacred shadow condensed, as if it could easily open up this world!
Even though the four spirits were in different places, Zhao Qi's height allowed them to see each one clearly.
Zhao Qi, who was halfway into the sea of clouds, made the spirits dumbfounded.
Visually, Zhao Qi is like a god descending into the mortal world, and the power radiating from his body is rare in the world.
The List of Gods was slowly opened in front of Zhao Qi, and golden writing began to appear on the blank ancient scroll as Zhao Qi thought.
"Rumble..."
But at the moment when the list of gods was opened, a thunderbolt exploded in everyone's ears.
Except for the team members, all the academicians covered their ears in pain, and even some of the weaker academicians had blood directly left on their ears.
"call……"
As the thunder struck, a gust of wind swept over the sea, bringing with it a dangerous aura that was extremely cold and gloomy.
The surrounding temperature dropped suddenly, and the oncoming wind made it difficult for everyone to see.
In just a short moment, the sky in Sicheng County became dark, and even the sun above the head was shrouded in dark clouds.
The huge calamity energy was constantly suppressing Zhao Qi's power, causing the golden light around him to become increasingly faint.
The team members felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, but Zhao Qi was still heartbroken.
He turned his head and looked in the direction of the sea, knowing that this sudden situation was caused by the abyss on the sea floor that was preventing the Conferred God.
But... no use!
Suddenly, the extinguished golden light around Zhao Qi became bright again, and the pure power of the Gods' List forcibly penetrated the heaven and earth, breaking through the condensed black clouds.
"The list of gods is here, how dare you be so presumptuous!"
This loud shout immediately brought the person who was trapped in the aftermath of the thunder back to his senses.
The strong collision of the two forces caused the black fog above the sea to become thicker and thicker...
Wu Wenqi and others looked towards the sea, and saw that on the horizon of the sea, the sky as black as ink was constantly encroaching towards this side.
Wherever the black mist passes, all life is gone, only endless desolation and despair.
Although the academicians were mentally prepared, when their eyes fell on the black fog, they were still unable to resist falling into it.
Negative emotions quickly hit their hearts, and all the academicians looked solemn and their eyes were numb.
The coercion coming from the black mist aroused the deepest fear in everyone's heart.
Under the influence of this emotion, everyone who seemed calm was actually on the verge of collapse.
Not only the academicians, but also the team members standing next to the Conferred God Platform were affected.
Wang Wuchen saw himself standing in the deserted land in the black mist.
The game at your feet has begun, but you, deep in the game, cannot escape from here no matter what.
So what if all the possibilities are exhausted?
The world itself is a chess game, and everyone is a dispensable pawn in the chess game.
The authorities are obsessed with it, and no one can escape this shackles.
Li Wanran returned to the riverside of his childhood and watched his sister walk towards death step by step.
"no no!"
Li Wanran desperately wanted to stop it, but this was just an illusion. How could he change the outcome that had already happened?
Zhang Lingyuan froze on the spot stiffly. An ancient building rose from the ground, but was instantly destroyed.
That was a secret hidden deep in his heart. All these years of traveling around were just to numb himself and forget it all.
The past he experienced emerged in front of his eyes bit by bit.
But when he wanted to get closer, everything disappeared without a trace like the moon in the water or the flowers in the mirror.
Zhang Zhenshan was no longer as calm as before. He closed his eyes, but his body was fighting slightly.
What he saw was a cruel battlefield, littered with corpses, and everyone he knew died there.
Li Wanran's Dragon Yin Sword was broken into two pieces, and Wang Wuchen's Yin Yang robe was stained red with blood.
Zhang Lingyuan's ancient knife pierced his own heart, and Feng Qiqi was dragged into the bottomless abyss by the evil spirit.
The most important thing is that Zhao Qi was among them. He grabbed Zhang Zhenshan's wrist and when he spoke, blood kept spurting out of his mouth.
"Why, why didn't you try harder?"
There is a blood-red sky above the head, and the blood moon reflects on the demons in the sky, making it look like a doomsday scene.
The same was true for Feng Qiqi. A figure kept appearing in the black mist, and a familiar voice kept echoing in her ears.
"Qiqi...Qiqi...I'm here..."
Feng Qiqi's eyes flashed with tears, and then she walked quickly forward.
But in front of her was the vast ocean, but at this moment, Feng Qiqi was completely immersed in illusion, unaware of the approaching danger.
Zhao Qi, who saw all this in his eyes, became more and more solemn in color.
This demon hasn't fully appeared yet, but it has just emitted its power, and it has already caused so many people to fall into it, which shows how powerful the demon is.
Zhao Qi immediately performed Ningjue with one hand, and the sound of Dharma in his mouth came in everyone's mind:
"One thought of ignorance is prajna, and one thought of wisdom is prajna!"
The moment they heard this voice, everyone who felt like they were deep in the ice cave felt a warm current.
The illusions they each saw in the black mist were different, but at this moment, a golden lotus blossomed out of these illusions.
The flowers bloom and make everyone feel happy.
Wang Wuchen gasped for breath and saw that he had reached the edge of the city wall. If he had taken another step just now, he would fall off the city wall and be shattered into pieces.
Li Wanran quickly let go of the Dragon Sword in his hand. The blade was only a few millimeters away from his own neck.
"boom!"
Zhang Zhenshan subconsciously raised his hand toward the sky, and his finger happened to pull the trigger.
A second difference and the outcome would be completely different.
Zhang Lingyuan looked down at the tip of the knife pointed directly at his heart, and took a breath of surprise.
it's hallucination...
Feng Qiqi was also the one who realized later. She looked at the water that had reached her calf in confusion, not knowing when she had reached this point.
"Be still and meditate, what you see with the naked eye is all illusion. What you see with the heart's eye is the truth..."
The academicians could not understand what Zhao Qi said, but the team members understood the deeper meaning.
Several people took a deep breath, and then slowly closed their eyes.
But their eyes were not completely dark. Instead, they saw everything that could be seen with the naked eye from a new perspective.
The black mist was mixed with the chaotic aura of calamity and the coldness that the team members had never seen before.
When they opened their eyes again, the expressions of the team members were all solemn. The opponent had not yet appeared, but the calamity that had formed was already such a threat, which showed how powerful the opponent was.
"Heaven and earth are silent, listen to my truth!"
Only Zhao Qi remained calm in the face of danger, and his voice helped the academicians resist the invading Yin Qi.
“The world of the human world has long been aligned with the six realms, and all sentient beings return to their respective places and dwell in their own places.
However, demons and evil deceivers, trying to invade the human world, specially set up this border pass and set up a altar to confer gods, so as to be famous for conferring gods! "
Zhao Qi stood in mid-air. In this harsh environment of severe cold, snow and wind, he still exuded a cold aura, which was in sharp contrast to everything around him.
"Thousand-year-old Zombie King, Lanling King, please accept the title!"
Zhao Qi slowly opened his eyes, and a golden light hit King Lanling above the city gate.
"Crack!"
The armor on King Lanling made a sound, and then he knelt down with his fists clasped and his head lowered.
This is a habit engraved in his bones. This is true even before and after the war when he listened to the praises he received after the war.
“The corpse has been buried for thousands of years and has not decayed, just because a breath of resentment has not dissipated.
Thousands of years later, the remaining soul returns to the Yang, connects the two realms of Yin and Yang, and attracts hundreds of ghosts to wander at night.
The sin is serious, but I am forgiven for being bewitched by evil spirits. In response to God's goodness of good health, I hereby establish a seal!
Above the gate of the natural barrier, the God of the City is enthroned, and General Guan Tianhua, the god who protects the city, enters the throne of God!
King Lanling, take over the title! "
"Crack!"
Just as Zhao Qi finished speaking, a thunder fell from the sky, but this thunder was not blue, but made up of thousands of golden lights.
boom!
A force lifted King Lanling's body up, and he was struck directly by the thunder. The golden light was dazzling, and everyone couldn't help but lower their heads.
But when the light dissipated, a god general wearing armor and holding a spear stood on the altar.
The right hand of the divine general is a spear with a cold light, but his left hand is a wat board that is only used by civil servants.
"Admiral..."
After hearing Zhao Qi's voice, the god general quickly clasped his fists:
"The end is here!"
"To win the position of City God, you not only need to guard this border, but also guard the road of yin and yang. Lead the souls of the dead into the ghost road. In the land of the yang, ghost parades are prohibited!"
"Taizu's order will be remembered by all the generals!"
Strong power radiated from King Lanling's body, and the accumulated dark clouds in the sky above his head were forcibly dispersed.
Since the military attache who ascended the throne of the City God was also a civil servant, after King Lanling took off his armor, he would become a civil servant with a long beard and long robe, holding a wat board.
The military generals have angry eyes and majestic eyes, the civil servants have kind eyebrows and kind eyes, the city god controls the pass, and all the people are blessed!
……
"The spirit of creation, the weasel spirit, listen to the seal!"
A pressure was exerted on the weasel, and it knelt on the ground before it even had time to react.
It is not difficult to tell from its eyes that it is a little panicked at the moment.
The list of gods in front of Zhao Qi opened a new chapter, and with Zhao Qi's voice, golden handwriting appeared one by one.
"Originally a wild beast in Liangshan, he met fate and enlightened his mind to become a monster.
In order to practice cultivation, he sought titles from various places. Although he was not disgusting, he disrupted the order of the world.
Entering the Divine Conferment Platform today is a destiny. Thanks to heaven and earth, I have made this contract to be canonized as a god! "
Golden light began to gather around the weasel, and its body was lifted up bit by bit.
The moment this power entered its body, its originally chaotic eyes became visibly clear.
"On the dichenguan apotheosis platform, the protector god's position should be in the upright position of the eight heavenly dragons. It enters the side god's position, and the god's name is the eight heavenly dragons protector god!"
The golden light transformed into the shape of a dragon and lingered around the weasel, gradually burying its body in the golden light.
After a while, the golden light gradually dissipated, and a majestic deity holding a single whip stood on the apotheosis platform.
"Crack!"
<divclass="contentadv">Zunshen saluted with clasped fists and said respectfully:
"Thank you Taizu. I will follow Taizu's teachings and live up to my duty as a protector!"
Zhao Qi nodded and continued to consecrate the gods. Under this vast and spectacular scene, the academicians and team members could not recover for a long time.
In addition to King Lanling, the other three spirits were named protectors.
The weasel is the protector deity of the Eight Heavenly Dragons, the rat spirit is named the True Monarch of Tianpeng Baodelingying, and the goat spirit is the True Monarch of Blessing Saints, True Martial Arts, and Protecting Blessings.
The three protectors all showed themselves to be wearing three platforms on their heads, with true martial power, clear and clear energy, and three heads and six arms.
Looking at their appearance alone, these three protectors do not have the spiritual appearance of King Lanling, and each of them has a terrifying image with teeth like sword trees and stern faces.
But this is in line with the portraits of all Dharma protectors since ancient times. The three Dharma protectors are all side gods, and it is their duty to defend the righteous Dharma.
The four gods were sealed and stood on the gates of the four cities. The awe-inspiring righteousness formed behind them connected with each other, forming a line of defense on the coast that was invisible to the naked eye.
The black mist all over the sky retreated crazily into the sea. Seeing this scene, Zhao Qi finally felt a little calmer.
But what he had to do didn't end here.
There are towers above the four city gates, and this is where Zhao Qi gave the four gods their thrones.
The academicians who had been waiting for a long time started to take action one after another. The academician walking at the front was holding a shrine covered with a red cloth in his hand, while the ones behind were beating gongs and drums and walking on the seven-star step, which looked like a dance.
In folk custom, this is called welcoming the gods. They have to play musical instruments all the way from the entrance to the city, and finally put the god into the tower.
Moreover, every time you pass a community or village chief along the way, you have to stop and worship. This ritual is called a roadblock sacrifice.
The four gods were able to show their bodies just now, entirely because of the power of the Gods List.
At this moment, they all disappeared on the stage of conferring gods. Only with the presence of gods in the stage can they appear in this world and perform miracles.
"The sky is round and the earth is round, the laws and regulations are nine chapters, the earth is broken today, everything is auspicious.
With one move of the golden hoe, the hills were filled with gold, and the evil spirits disappeared far away.
Invite God to take the throne and protect one side. Saints from all directions may wish you good luck! "
Four teams to welcome the gods were walking through the roads of various cities.
Among the sounds of playing, playing and singing, you can always hear their chanting.
The names of the four gods were engraved on the shrines held by the academician at the front. After the parade, these shrines were placed in the towers above the city gate.
"Weihai County Chenghuang Temple!"
"Binhai County Dharma Protector Pavilion!"
"Chuyang County Dharma Protector Pavilion!"
"Lindao County Protector's Pavilion!"
The towers above the four city gates had new names. The moment the four gods returned to their thrones, thousands of rays of light and purple energy came from the east.
Citizens in other cities and counties in Dongshan Prefecture stopped one after another, raised their heads in various parts of the city, and looked towards the east.
"So beautiful..."
The sky is full of glowing light, dotted with clouds and mists, making it look like a dream.
Especially under the light of the sun, the rays of light and thousands of auspicious colors reflect the horizon into a picture like a fairyland.
"Is this what the ancients said about Purple Qi coming from the east?"
"It's a good sign. Isn't that an empty city that has been evacuated? What happened..."
People were talking a lot, and many people took out their mobile phones, took photos and posted them online.
Purple energy came from the east and auspicious signs appeared in the sky. This scene lasted for as long as a stick of incense, which surprised everyone.
……
Li Mi and Wu Wenqi were completely unable to react to what happened.
These things, in the past, looked like engaging in feudal superstition.
But now, they saw Zhao Qili consecrating himself to the gods in the air with their own eyes, and all the doubts in their hearts were eliminated at that moment.
At the moment, they just find it unbelievable. Gods, demons, formations, rituals...
All this is subverting their original worldview.
……
After learning that the gods had entered their respective divine pavilions, Zhao Qi finally breathed a deep sigh of relief.
He took back the list of gods, looked at the gate of Weihai County in front of him, and thought secretly in his heart.
At this point, all the preparations that need to be made have been made.
So what will be the result?
When the thought came to his mind, a formation suddenly spread out under Zhao Qi's feet, and then Zhao Qi sat cross-legged on the spot, motionless.
Even when the team members rushed back, Zhao Qi remained motionless.
"Commander Wu, who is the supervisor?"
Facing Zhang Zhenshan's inquiry, Wu Wenqi shook his head in confusion:
"I don't know. Inspector Zhao has been like this for a while, and we don't dare to disturb him..."
Upon hearing this, the team members walked towards Zhao Qi one after another.
But when he got closer, Wang Wuchen frowned and stopped everyone:
"The supervisor is currently in Vipassana and cannot be disturbed!"
“What is Vipassana?”
Li Wanran was quick to speak and asked this question for others.
"The way of heaven is called round, and the way of earth is called square. Square is called quiet, and round is called bright.
The one who understands is the one who exhales, so this is the appearance.
The secluded one also contains the Qi, so it is the inner view. "
Wang Wuchen spoke eloquently, but several people looked confused.
"Daxian, you'd better speak Chinese!"
Wang Wuchen sighed helplessly, and then explained simply and clearly:
"Vipassana is a sorcerer's unique mental state. There are thousands of divination methods in the world, and they are nothing more than an auxiliary way to help the divination person control the mental state.
In other words, powerful people do not need to use copper coins, iron sticks, Zhouyi, Liuyao and other methods to divination, because they can control their own mental scenes, so they can enter Vipassana at will.
You can think that Inspector Zhao is doing divination. He is in his mind at this moment, observing the myriad changes in the situation to judge the good or bad. "
This explanation finally made several people suddenly realize.
"Then what is Inspector Zhao trying to predict, the outcome of this battle?"
"Probably……"
Wang Wuchen nodded in response to Zhang Zhenshan, and then looked toward the sea with worry:
"You must have fallen into this trap before, and you were stuck in the illusion and couldn't extricate yourself.
Without the emissary’s reminder, I’m afraid we wouldn’t be able to stand here and speak.
The guy hiding under the sea is so powerful that we are completely unable to match him now.
This is destined to be a fierce battle and is inevitable..."
While the team members were talking, Zhao Qi finally slowly opened his eyes.
"Supervisor, what's going on? Is it good or bad?"
Li Xuanran asked impatiently, but Zhao Qi stood up with a strange expression, looked at the team members, and then shook his head.
The team members couldn't tell for a moment whether Zhao Qi shook his head because he didn't see the result, or whether the development of things was not optimistic.
"Come to the conference room in 10 minutes..."
After leaving these words, Zhao Qi left here without looking back.
Looking at Zhao Qi's back, the team members looked at each other, but no one could figure out what happened.
The team members didn't know that Zhao Qi was feeling quite complicated at the moment. He saw the results in his inner vision, but he couldn't be happy at all.
After returning to the room, Zhao Qi sat alone in the room and was silent for a moment. The atmosphere was as depressing as his mood.
Does it have to be this way...?
What other ways are there?
Zhao Qi kept thinking about it in his heart. Obviously, the situation he saw in Vipassana made it difficult for Zhao Qi to calm down.
……
The team members discussed Zhao Qi's strange attitude in confusion. Everyone could see that something was obviously not right.
"Great Immortal, aren't you good at pinching and calculating? You can also calculate, maybe you can get the answer?"
At the suggestion of the team members, Wang Wuchen took out six copper coins from his pocket.
"Whoa... whoa..."
Wang Wuchen kept shaking the copper coins in his hand, then scattered them on the ground, and recorded the hexagrams through the front and back.
"I'm not as powerful as Inspector Zhao, and I can't enter Vipassana to see the detailed development of things.
I can only roughly judge good or bad luck through divination..."
While saying this, Wang Wuchen completed the last throw.
Every time he threw it, Wang Wuchen would scratch a straight line on the side, or two horizontal bars separated in the middle.
In the hexagrams, these are called Yin Yao and Yang Yao.
After six throws, and then through the changes from extreme yang to yin, and extreme yin to yang, one of the 64 hexagrams will be obtained.
But when Wang Wuchen saw the final result, his eyes widened, and even the copper coins in his hand were scattered on the ground.
"Great Immortal, what's going on? What's the result?"
Li Wanran asked anxiously, and several other people also noticed Wang Wuchen's gaffe.
This gave them an ominous premonition, so they became even more eager to get Wang Wuchen to give an accurate response.
Wang Wuchen raised his head in astonishment, looked at several people and said word by word:
"The lower part is separated from the upper part, which is the six hexagrams No. 30, Earth Fire Ming Yi Hexagram!
The phoenix's wings are hanging down, and the dead wood is rotting, which is unlucky, and it is a big disaster in the hexagram! "
Suddenly, the team members fell silent, and the expressions on their faces became increasingly stiff.
……
Ten minutes later, the team members sat in silence at the conference table, each looking at each other in silence.
Wang Wuchen's hexagram just now made everyone present feel uneasy. They seemed to be able to understand why Zhao Qi looked so solemn before. It was probably because of this.
Looking at the team members in front of him, Zhao Qi was the first to speak.
“Everyone, according to my speculation, the concentration of solar terms will reach its highest at midnight tonight.
Starting today, we may encounter surprise attacks every day.
Perhaps the only thing worth being happy about is the settlement of the border and the successful apotheosis of the gods.
We will eventually have an inevitable battle with the demons dormant in the abyss. Do you remember what I said before?
For victory, to defend the future of mankind..."
Before Zhao Qi finished speaking, the team members all said in unison:
"at all costs!"
Zhao Qi looked at the team members with a somewhat complicated look. Both Wang Wuchen and Zhang Zhenshan were keenly aware that Zhao Qi was restraining his emotions.
"Supervisor, Wang Da Xian'er made a divination, and the divination showed great misfortune. Does this mean that we have no chance of winning in this battle?"
Li Wanran took a sip of wine, and his suppressed voice made the atmosphere in the room more calm.
"No! Wuchen, what divination are you predicting?"
"Earth Fire Ming Yi Gua."
Zhao Qi nodded thoughtfully, and then explained the full meaning of this hexagram.
"The Dihuo Mingyi hexagram is the No. 64 hexagram among the 30 hexagrams.
Mingyi represents fire entering the pit, Yang Qi is harmed by Yin Qi, and is seriously injured by evil and sycophants.
It is a time of great misfortune, when everything is unfavorable and unlucky.
It seems that this is indeed a bad hexagram. There are no unsolvable hexagrams among all the 64 hexagrams in single dialect.
Therefore, another meaning of this hexagram is that if bad luck can be overcome and the future can be stretched or bent, the future will become brighter.
Being patient and determined, being foolish on the outside and wise on the inside, can help you become auspicious in times of adversity. Acting cautiously and being cautious in everything can make a difference.
Therefore, there are no absolutes in this world. Even in the ominous hexagrams, there will still be opportunities. "
Zhao Qi's words relieved the team members' depressed mood a little.
Indeed, compared to a predetermined tragic ending, this hope is the most precious fire of mankind.
"This is for you..."
As Zhao Qi spoke, he opened a small box with the logo of Qin Tian Jian Bao Refining Division on the box.
There are five jade pendants placed in this box, each with the same formation pattern engraved on them.
The team members followed what Zhao Qi said and picked up a jade pendant.
Holding it in your hand, this jade pendant will have a slightly cool touch. At the same time, as long as you put your mind on this jade pendant for a moment, you can feel the extremely huge power hidden in the jade pendant formation.
"These are the 5 pieces of Yin Jade that were taken from the Treasure Refining Department in order to detect the Feng Shui terrain.
The formation pattern on the Yin Jade was engraved by me personally. You must wear it 24 hours a day, as it will naturally be useful at critical moments. "
Feng Qiqi looked at the jade pendant in her hand, then looked up at Zhao Qi.
From just now, she felt that Zhao Qi's emotions were very complicated, and there was even a bit of unbearability in his eyes when he looked at them.
Women may always have far better talents than men in this regard, so she took the lead in wearing this piece of jade around her neck without saying anything.
The rest of the team members also did the same. It wasn't until he saw that the team members were all wearing jade pendants that Zhao Qifang sat down.
“Today’s meeting was mainly about chatting.
Everyone has worked hard during this period, traveling around and successfully completing tasks, and bringing the spirits back, and this is how the four gods stand in triplicate.
I have been worried that you are not ready, but in fact, you are growing up faster than I thought. "
Zhao Qiyu looked at the team members attentively and spoke. There was always a suppressed emotion in his voice, and he did not want to express it in front of the team members.
“This battle is crucial and even I have no choice.
You guys, do you understand? "
The team members seemed a little confused. Even the very nervous Li Wanran noticed that Zhao Qi's mood was not right.
"Supervisor, nothing happened?"
Facing Li Wanran's inquiry, Zhao Qiqiang forced out a smile and shook his head:
"It's okay, I just want to talk to you.
Okay, let's all go back and take a rest. Starting from midnight tonight, everyone needs to be mentally alert, and there will be no time to rest. "
Zhao Qi suddenly ended the conversation, and the team members left the place one after another with doubts.
Zhao Qi lowered his head and looked at the table in front of him, obviously absent-minded. He didn't even notice that Feng Qiqi was sitting there and never left.
"What happened?"
Hearing Feng Qiqi's voice, Zhao Qi raised his head. Just as he was about to speak, Feng Qiqi continued:
"Don't tell me it's okay. Everyone can see that you are not feeling well."
Zhao Qi looked at Feng Qiqi deeply for a few seconds, and then said something that surprised even Feng Qiqi.
"Among the team members, you are the only one who does not sincerely want to stay.
So if you want to leave now, I'll let you.
The danger of this battle is far beyond our expectations, so perhaps now is the most appropriate time for you to leave.
Since you are not sincere in staying, there is no need to take risks again..."
After Zhao Qi finished speaking, he did not get the happy reaction from Feng Qiqi as he imagined. Instead, a dark cloud hung over her eyebrows.
"Who do you think I am?"
Feng Qiqi raised her head and looked directly at Zhao Qi, with a bit of resentment in her eyes.
This reaction was somewhat unexpected to Zhao Qidu.
It was obvious that she had always wanted to leave, so why did she have such an attitude now that she had let go?
"I want to leave. I have left a long time ago. Do you think you can bluff me once, and you can bluff me a second time?"
As Feng Qiqi spoke, she spread her palms. Zhao Qi clearly saw that there were two clear wounds on the pads of Feng Qiqi's index finger and middle finger.
"You didn't set any taboos on me at all. That drop of black blood was caused by the power you gave me, right?"
Feng Qiqi actually tried again in Nanzhao County, but this time the blood from her fingertips was red. This made Feng Qiqi immediately realize that the words Zhao Qi left were just a deterrent as before.
But this also made Feng Qiqi wonder why Zhao Qin would rather intimidate her over and over again than actually set up a taboo. Wouldn't it be easier that way?
It was precisely after understanding this that Feng Qiqi gave up the idea of leaving, and instead began to complete the task wholeheartedly.
In this way, the goat spirit can be successfully brought back to Dongshan Prefecture.
But now that Zhao Qi said something like this again, Feng Qiqi really didn't know how to understand it.
"I can feel that you really don't want to hurt me.
It was precisely because of this that I made a decision that I couldn't even figure out.
But I didn't expect to hear such words from you.
I will leave, after this matter is settled..."
Feng Qiqi stood up and left the conference room with a cold face.
Looking at Feng Qiqi's back, Zhao Qi sighed deeply.
At this time, no one felt more complicated than him. Everything he saw in Vipassana was difficult for Zhao Qi to accept.
On one side is an unchangeable fate, on the other is the future of mankind. Zhao Qi is caught in a real dilemma.
"Is it true that the established destiny cannot be changed?"
Zhao Qi murmured to himself, then closed his eyes again and immersed himself in Vipassana.
……
The team members did not go back to their rooms after leaving the conference room, because they also noticed that something was not right about Zhao Qi today.
"Dong dong dong..."
Li Wanran knocked on Wang Wuchen's door, holding a wine gourd in his hand.
"Da Xian'er, would you like some drink?"
Wang Wuchen smiled bitterly and took a cup from the side:
"You're too drunk, just have a drink..."
Li Wanran poured half a glass of wine for Wang Wuchen, then raised his neck and drank a few more mouthfuls, then leaned back on the chair and started talking.
"Da Xian'er, have you noticed it too?"
Wang Wuchen naturally knew what Li Wanran was talking about, so he nodded quickly:
"The supervisor must have seen something in Vipassana. Unfortunately, my spiritual practice is not deep enough and I cannot enter Vipassana at will like the supervisor."
Li Suanran said with some worry:
“I have never seen Inspector Zhao’s face with the expression he has today.
This expression is very depressing and complicated.
You say this is an inevitable battle, are we really sure we can win? "
"Must win!"
Wang Wuchen responded simply and neatly:
"What Inspector Zhao said is that this is related to the future destiny of mankind, so we must do whatever it takes."
"Okay, you're so relieved. It makes me look effeminate to care."
Li Xuanran took another sip of wine boldly:
"Then don't think about it so much. If you want to get involved in the human world, you have to make it lose its skin even if you can't kill it!"
Hearty laughter spread to the room next door, where Zhang Lingyuan and Zhang Zhenshan sat across from each other.
Hearing Li Wanran's bold voice coming from next door, Zhang Zhenshan smiled and shook his head:
“I never expected that I would encounter so many things one after another in such a short time after joining Qin Tian Prison.
Not much else to say..."
Zhang Zhenshan stretched out his hand, looked at Zhang Lingyuan and said word by word:
"Fighting side by side, this battle is unavoidable, so let's face it head-on!"
Zhang Lingyuan nodded. Although he was not good at words, his heart was also affected by the enthusiasm of other team members at this moment.
He quickly held Zhang Zhenshan's hand. There was no need for words between men, as sometimes one action would settle everything.
Next door to this room is Feng Qiqi's room. At this moment, she is sitting alone in the room, with her legs curled up in front of her chest and her hands wrapped around her.
Everything that had happened in this period of time kept replaying in her mind, and everyone's faces flashed through his mind one by one.
I don't know when she started to feel reluctant to leave this place, and even she couldn't explain it clearly.
But when everyone was actively preparing for the war, Zhao Qi only told him that he could leave on his own if he wanted to leave.
This really made Feng Qiqi's heart feel like it was stabbed with a knife...
Slowly raising her head, Feng Qiqi's downcast eyes trembled slightly. She looked at the city wall in the distance and was speechless for a long time.
As the sky darkens, the room becomes even more depressing.
Feng Qiqi sat alone by the window, unconsciously reaching out to hold the jade pendant, thinking a lot.
……
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the icy and snowy Weihai County is filled with goose feathers and flying snow.
Continuous white snow falls day and night, causing the city's temperature to drop.
The windows were covered with frost, and the cold wind was like an ice knife, scratching people's bones.
The night came quietly, Zhao Qi led the team members to the city gate, and stared at the sea affectionately and solemnly.
The ringing of midnight also means that the peaceful days are over.
Starting today, everyone must be fully alert to guard against the invasion of demons.
The lonely white snow fell with the loneliness and coldness of the world and scattered on the ground, sketching a sad and beautiful picture.
Under Zhao Qi's order, the team members began to go to various cities and counties. They are the only guarding force and do not carry all the hope of mankind.
Zhang Lingyuan went to Dichen Pass, Zhang Zhenshan went to Shan'ao Pass, and Feng Qiqi guarded Haihai Pass alone.
Wang Wuchen and Li Wanran were guarding Tianxian Pass. If there was any sign of being attacked at any pass, others would quickly go through the city wall to provide support.
In this way, the land of four cities was like a cage, defending the human cities at the rear.
The team members stood on the city gate, next to the towers enshrining various gods.
They looked at the sea, determined and calm.
However, day by day passed, and the attack that everyone was fully prepared to face did not come.
Wu Wenqi and Li Mi were ordered to stay away from the war zone. They discussed more than once whether they had made a mistake and this crisis would never have occurred.
What they didn't know was that there was no peace in the depths of the sea a few days ago.
At a position of 7000 meters on the seabed, the chaotic airflow caused the seafloor to be extremely filthy. Compared with the last time Zhao Qi came to check, the Tianyuan was much solidified.
The only thing that hasn't changed is the darkness in the abyss.
"Zi..."
A scarlet light suddenly appeared in the abyss.
Immediately afterwards, the darkness inside Tianyuan seemed to be opened by a sharp weapon, and masses of black mist flew out one after another.
"Hahaha……"
Sharp and harsh laughter came from within the abyss, and a chaotic black mist crazily absorbed the calamity energy gathered around it.
"I have finally waited for this moment. I have been coveting the land of Saha for a long time!"
Another group of black mist also quickly began to spread, and the figure became several times larger than before in the blink of an eye.
"We have actually arrived on earth, and chaos and darkness will begin to spread.
Don’t forget the mission assigned by the king. What we want to destroy is the dragon vein in the world, prevent the revival of spiritual energy in the world, and give birth to powerful awakened ones! "
These sounds are comparable to noise, and there is no distinguishing between men and women at all. There is only a chaotic and sticky feeling.
Four masses of black mist flew out of the abyss one after another. Visible to the naked eye, a large number of solar terms everywhere were rapidly entering these four masses of black mist.
The accumulated dark clouds in the sea and sky became a bit darker, and even visible to the naked eye, these black clouds began to surge like liquid.
"Beep beep..."
A piercing siren soon came from the Atlanti exploration fleet, which had been parked on the high seas and wanted to learn about the Great Yan Kingdom's intelligence.
Admiral Ryers looked at the display screen in front of him, and then looked at the sky in the distance through the window in confusion.
The information displayed on the screen baffled him.
The radar detected an unknown energy rising at a high speed, but it was unable to locate the energy source at all. This was clearly against common sense!
Exploration fleets from several other countries also began to receive alerts one after another, but before they could start tracking the rising energy, the signal suddenly disappeared.
"The system is down?"
The technician quickly checked it several times, but still could not find the source of the problem.
This made everyone who was already confused even more confused.
The four masses of black mist were completely invisible to the naked eye, and the large-scale ripples on the sea surface were caused by the black mist coming out of the sea.
But since leaving Tianyuan, these four black fogs have disappeared. The direction of the black fog can only be judged through the traces of tribulation energy that are constantly being absorbed.
"Crack!"
On the island, cracks began to appear in the Five Elements objects previously established, the light on the lighthouse disappeared, and the sea surface was once again immersed in darkness.
Four groups of black mist quickly approached the shore, so fast that not even the fastest airplanes today could match it.
In the dark, Zhao Qi, who was sitting in meditation, opened his eyes.
"Snapped!"
The ancient Taoist scrolls lying nearby were scattered all over the place for no reason.
At dawn the next day, Wu Wenqi, the commander-in-chief of Dongshan Prefecture, led several soldiers to the construction site.
The construction team, which took several days to assemble, evacuated Dongshan Prefecture in an orderly manner overnight.
The sudden fall from the original hustle and bustle to the silence at this moment deeply touched Wu Wenqi's heart.
"General Wu, did you come so early?"
The voice of Fu Yin Li Mi came from behind. After this period of frequent interaction, the relationship between the two became much closer than before.
Wu Wenqi nodded, then looked in the direction of the city wall and sighed deeply:
"When it was not completed, I was looking forward to it being completed every day. Now that it is completed, suddenly everyone has left. The past few months have been like a dream..."
“Yes, on the way here, I saw that all the large construction vehicles that were originally packed with people parked on the roadside were gone.
Originally, construction workers could be seen busy 24 hours a day, but now it suddenly became quiet.
I've been used to it for three months..."
The two shared their feelings with each other. As senior leaders, they had been following the progress of the project every day, but now suddenly everything was over.
This means that everything they are familiar with ends here, and they can no longer participate in the next actions, so every step they take is full of unknowns.
However, it was with emotion that the two of them quickly implemented the tasks assigned by Zhao Qi.
"All assembly!"
Following the commander's order, all the soldiers stationed at the construction site in Weihai County came from all directions and soon stood in a formation. They all looked at Wu Wenqi solemnly, waiting for him to issue new orders.
"Comrades, your mission has been completed. Take the time to evacuate and report back to the military area!"
Such orders were also issued in the other three cities and counties at the same time. Without saying a word, the soldiers turned around and walked towards the military vehicles on the roadside.
The bustle has faded away, and the hustle and bustle has subsided in the sound of the waves.
……
In the past three months, both the evacuees in the resettlement sites and the urban citizens who have set up resettlement sites have been paying attention to the situation in Dongshan Prefecture.
It stands to reason that it has been three months since the tsunami warning was issued. Although the city has been raining heavily, the return instructions should have been issued long ago.
The people did not expect that they would stay in this resettlement site for nearly three months.
During this period, all news reports only changed from days of heavy rain to days of heavy snow, without mentioning the specific situation at all.
This incident once aroused heated discussion on the Internet. Both the people of Dongshan Prefecture and citizens of other cities were confused about the situation in Sicheng County.
"It's been three months and there's been no movement at all. Have you forgotten us?"
"I find this matter more and more strange. First of all, the country cannot forget us. In the past three months, our food and daily necessities have not been cut off. But why has the country not allowed us to return to the city? , are you hiding something?"
"I am not a conspiracy theory person, and I absolutely believe in the country, but when I look at this matter carefully, it really doesn't feel right. The tsunami crisis should be over by now, and we should have returned to the city long ago. What do you think?"
More and more people are participating in the topic of discussion. In the past month, the topic has remained very popular, and it has only calmed down a little recently.
After all, even if they say a thousand words, there will be no authoritative response in the end. Their ideas will always be just ideas. As time goes by, they will no longer be willing to waste energy on discussions.
But just today, a new piece of news emerged, making this topic hot again.
[A large number of construction teams came back from Yanhai County today, and the previously stalled projects have started one after another! 】
When this news appeared, it immediately attracted responses from all parties.
"We are here too. A large number of construction teams got off the expressway and the road was blocked!"
"Isn't this a coincidence? Where did all these construction teams go?"
"The construction teams seem to have come down from the highways in the four cities and counties that have been blocked!"
This last piece of news awakened everyone. More and more people suddenly realized it, and the conversation in the comment area quickly began to change.
"Is it understandable that after the evacuation of Sicheng County three months ago, all construction sites were suspended, and all the construction teams actually went to Sicheng County?"
“There haven’t been any substantive news reports from the Quad-Cities County in the past few months, so even if they are building something, we don’t know!”
"Yes, that must be the case, otherwise these construction teams would have no reason to pass through the blocked city-county expressway!"
More and more netizens participated in the discussion, and this latest discovery gave them a feeling of enlightenment.
"But having said that, all the construction teams in Dongshan Prefecture gathered in Sicheng County to build what?"
“Did the tsunami crisis cause damage to the city and they went to repair it?”
"That's impossible. Didn't the news reports say that when the tsunami reached the shore, it had lost its power?"
A new question arises: what exactly is being built in Sicheng County?
Not to mention the need for cooperation from all construction teams in Dongshan Prefecture, the battle line was stretched for three months.
Judging from the number of people and time, the construction project must be of a certain scale.
"Is it because of the construction that we are not allowed to go back?"
"What happened in Sicheng County, Dongshan Prefecture? Why am I getting more and more confused."
"When can we go home? We can't just stay in the resettlement site forever..."
Related topics are becoming more popular than ever before.
……
In Xiandao County, Dongshan Prefecture, Wang Lei carried several gift boxes and knocked on a door.
"Hey, eldest nephew, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why did you think of coming to see me?"
The man who came to the door welcomed Wang Lei into the door with a smile, and his wife also entertained him warmly.
After sitting on the sofa and chatting for a while, Wang Lei went straight to the topic and said mysteriously:
"Uncle, aren't you from the construction team? You haven't been at home for the past three months. Did you go to the Sicheng County that was under lockdown?"
When the man heard this, he immediately understood that this nephew would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.
So soon, he waved his hand:
"If we talk about this, forget it, there's nothing to say..."
The more this happened, the more curious Wang Lei became, but no matter how he asked, the man just wouldn't tell.
There was no other way, Wang Lei could only get up and go to the kitchen.
"Auntie, where has my uncle gone?"
The movement of the woman's hand paused for a moment, and then she sighed softly:
"Three months ago, he suddenly said he was leaving for a business trip, and he left for three months.
After I came back, I also asked the questions you asked, but he didn't mention a word.
Not long after he returned home, someone in a black suit approached him, and it seemed that he had signed a document.
Every time I asked, he said it was confidential and it would be a crime to tell him..."
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Wang Lei looked at the man sitting on the sofa in confusion.
This scene happened in many families. Three months after the construction workers left home, family members and relatives were all curious and asking because of the public opinion on the Internet.
However, the agents of the State Secret Service were always very prompt in dealing with the aftermath. They came to the door one after another and asked the construction workers to sign confidentiality agreements.
For three months, construction workers were required to make phone calls only at fixed times every day, and a dedicated person must be present when making calls to ensure that they would not reveal any secrets.
After returning home, some construction workers were trying to explain, but agents from the State Secret Service came to their door.
They had no choice but to keep the past three months in their stomachs and not mention it to anyone.
After Wang Lei left, like other netizens, he posted his inquiry online.
More and more people say that their relatives or family members have the same attitude, saying that it involves confidentiality and cannot be discussed with the outside world.
This made netizens even more confused. What exactly was built in Sicheng County, Dongshan Prefecture, was so strictly kept secret, and was even classified as a secret.
……
Netizens from the Great Yan Kingdom have never been the only ones paying attention to Dongshan Prefecture. The attention of various countries to the Great Yan Kingdom has intensified since that day when the Great Yan Kingdom's warships sailed to the high seas.
"Mr. Kendi, according to the information sent back by the agents of Dayan State, the four cities blocked in Dongshan Prefecture are indeed undergoing construction projects, and now all the construction teams have returned, and it is suspected that the construction has been completed."
Kendi frowned:
"Do you know what the construction project is?"
The reporter shook his head:
"Dayan Kingdom has formulated very complete confidentiality measures for this. Even their own people don't know what is being built in the four cities of Dongshan Prefecture!"
Kendi waved his hand thoughtfully:
"Continue to monitor and report any situation immediately!"
After the reporter left, Kendi made a phone call:
"Admiral, did you find anything there?"
The person who answered the phone was Admiral Riels, the commander of the exploration fleet wandering in the high seas.
"Mr. Kendi, we have been monitoring the movements of the Great Yan Kingdom's waters, but we have not found anything so far."
"Do you know what is being built in Dongshan Prefecture?"
"Mr. Kendi, we cannot enter the territorial waters of the Great Yan Kingdom, so it is difficult to detect..."
"Continue to monitor!"
After hanging up the phone, Riles looked up at the radar.
On the radar, detection ships from multiple countries were wandering on the high seas.
Everyone has the same purpose, so they keep a distance from each other and do not interfere with each other.
What secrets are hidden in Dongshanzhou of Dayan Kingdom?
This is a problem that plagues various countries, and they have been wandering in secret, waiting for opportunities to find out the secrets that Dayan Kingdom has been hiding.
……
The large-scale construction that lasted for three months came to a successful end today. The soldiers' mission has been completed and there is no reason to stay.
The endless procession of military vehicles gradually drove away from this place. The soldiers looked out the window at the towering city walls that were getting farther and farther away from them. What came to their minds was what they had experienced in the past few months.
No one expected that the sudden heavy rain lasted for more than March, and it has still turned into heavy snow and fallen quietly.
When Zhao Qi led the team members and a group of academicians out of the command room, the soldiers had disappeared at the end of the road.
Wu Wenqi didn't have time to sigh, so he hurried back to Zhao Qi and reported to Zhao Qi the current evacuation progress.
"Report to Supervisor Zhao that Sicheng County is completing the final evacuation. After the soldiers are evacuated, only the academicians of Qintian Supervisor are left in Sicheng County."
"Very good, what happens next is no longer something the soldiers can handle. Their staying here will only increase unnecessary casualties..."
With a solemn expression, Zhao Qi led everyone to the gate of Weihai County.
The city gate in front of you is tall and thick, and the Conferred God Platform above is clearly visible.
The city walls stretching on both sides were connected to other city gates, and the four cities were located, forming an unbreakable line of defense at the border.
"Let's set off according to the results of this morning's meeting. Everyone should be in their respective positions. At ten o'clock at noon, the gods will be crowned on time!"
Zhao Qi put on his coat, stood under the city gate, looked at the sea, and gave the order.
The team members all understood that they would lead the spirits to various cities and counties to ensure that at noon when the gods were consecrated, the spirits would stand in the conferencing platforms on the city gates.
Wang Wuchen led the weasel towards Binhai County, and the weasel was uncharacteristically cooperative.
It sat in the passenger seat and kept asking curious questions about this and that. The topic of the questions always revolved around the matter of becoming a god.
"Exalted Master, can I really be on the divine level?"
"Of course, it is your fate to be able to meet our emissary. After becoming a god, enjoying the incense and offerings of the common people is a matter of great benefit and no harm to you."
Wang Wuchen's words made the weasel even more excited. Wang Wuchen always patiently answered the questions it raised.
On the other side, in the car heading to Lindao County, Li Wanran and Goat Spirit also set foot on the road.
The goat spirit was also very curious about the matter of becoming a god, but Li Wanran didn't have the patience of Wang Wuchen and refused to answer any questions at all.
On the expressway in Chuyang County, Zhang Lingyuan led the mouse spirit all the way east, and it seemed particularly quiet.
The rat spirit can't speak, and Zhang Lingyuan is not good at words. Such a combination is quite suitable for each other.
Under the gate of Sicheng County, only a group of academicians are still holding on.
All other unrelated people have been evacuated. The construction site, which has been bustling for nearly three months, is now covered with snow and no one is there.
After the team members were in their respective positions, they led the spirits to the city gate. After placing the spirits on the God Conferring Stage, they stood aside and waited.
They will continue here until the Conferred God is over, and ensure that no other accidents will happen during the Conferred God.
After everything was in place, Zhang Zhenshan also brought Prince Lanling to Zhao Qi's side.
King Lanling was obviously more conscious at this moment than before. After coming to Zhao Qi's side, he said:
"There seems to be something hidden in the sea..."
Zhao Qi, who was standing aside, nodded slightly. During the waiting period, he was always looking at the direction of the sea:
"Things hidden in the sea will come out soon. Tonight, I'm afraid we will be able to see the true face of Mount Lu..."
Finally, noon arrived as promised, and the sun hung over the city gate, but in the blizzard, it could not exert any heat at all.
"Go..."
At Zhao Qi's signal, King Lanling walked up to the city gate alone and stood on the apotheosis platform.
He didn't know what would happen next, so all he could do now was trust Zhao Qi.
"Supervisor, the Shengguan Divine Conferment Platform in Lindao County is in place!"
"Supervisor, the Consecration Platform at Aoguan in Binhai County is in place!"
"Supervisor, Chuyang County's Haihaiguan Conferring God Platform is in place!"
The voices of the team members came from the headset. At this moment, the spirits were also placed on the gods' platforms at the gates of each city.
Zhao Qi took a deep breath to calm down his mood.
No one knew the pressure he was under at this moment. He had never been able to confer four gods at once.
But now there is no room left, and Zhao Qi's expression is gradually replaced by determination.
"Conferred God List, now!"
Zhao Qi's palm spread out, and a golden light pierced the sky and condensed in Zhao Qi's hand in an instant.
The golden light dissipated, and the list of gods appeared, with a soft power, causing a clear and clear boundary to form around Zhao Qi.
This is the first time that Zhao Qi has driven the power of the God List to such an extent.
"boom!"
The golden light beam reaches the sky and the earth, and the golden halo spreads in the clouds and mist.
The four cities and counties were enveloped in this golden light one after another. The four spirits standing on the Conferring God Stage were even more aware of the purity of this power.
They all raised their heads in unison, looking at the sky that was gradually turning into a golden color. Even the snowflakes that continued day and night seemed to be frozen at this moment, and there was a brief stagnation.
In Sicheng County, it seemed that only Zhao Qi could stay out of the matter at this moment.
Everyone else was frozen in place under the spread of this powerful force.
Zhao Qi looked back at the depths of the sea, and the sky was turning dark black visible to the naked eye.
"Supervisor, is it something under the sea that has discovered us and is interfering with us?"
Liu Wenbin looked at Zhao Qi solemnly and asked, but Zhao Qi quickly shook his head:
"No, those demons haven't crossed over yet. They are in another dimension and don't know the things in the human world. The reason why they have such an impact is because the Yin Qi here has been transformed into the calamity Qi.
Tribulation energy is a more terrifying existence than Yin energy, and it is also the most Yin energy.
It sensed the power of the God List and instinctively rejected it.
Keep irrelevant people away from the beach. A large amount of calamity energy can blind people's spiritual apertures and cause irreversible damage! "
Liu Wenbin quickly agreed and then began to evacuate.
A large number of academicians retreated to the safe area. Only Zhao Qi and a few team members were still at the city gate.
Zhao Qi revealed the secret in one word, but he was not worried about it because he was absolutely confident in the power of the God List.
The more evil the power, the easier it is to be suppressed in front of the Conferred Gods List.
This is the immutable law of yin and yang mutually reinforcing each other.
When the academicians came to their senses, Zhao Qi was already standing in the air holding the list of gods.
Behind him, a golden sacred shadow condensed, as if it could easily open up this world!
Even though the four spirits were in different places, Zhao Qi's height allowed them to see each one clearly.
Zhao Qi, who was halfway into the sea of clouds, made the spirits dumbfounded.
Visually, Zhao Qi is like a god descending into the mortal world, and the power radiating from his body is rare in the world.
The List of Gods was slowly opened in front of Zhao Qi, and golden writing began to appear on the blank ancient scroll as Zhao Qi thought.
"Rumble..."
But at the moment when the list of gods was opened, a thunderbolt exploded in everyone's ears.
Except for the team members, all the academicians covered their ears in pain, and even some of the weaker academicians had blood directly left on their ears.
"call……"
As the thunder struck, a gust of wind swept over the sea, bringing with it a dangerous aura that was extremely cold and gloomy.
The surrounding temperature dropped suddenly, and the oncoming wind made it difficult for everyone to see.
In just a short moment, the sky in Sicheng County became dark, and even the sun above the head was shrouded in dark clouds.
The huge calamity energy was constantly suppressing Zhao Qi's power, causing the golden light around him to become increasingly faint.
The team members felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, but Zhao Qi was still heartbroken.
He turned his head and looked in the direction of the sea, knowing that this sudden situation was caused by the abyss on the sea floor that was preventing the Conferred God.
But... no use!
Suddenly, the extinguished golden light around Zhao Qi became bright again, and the pure power of the Gods' List forcibly penetrated the heaven and earth, breaking through the condensed black clouds.
"The list of gods is here, how dare you be so presumptuous!"
This loud shout immediately brought the person who was trapped in the aftermath of the thunder back to his senses.
The strong collision of the two forces caused the black fog above the sea to become thicker and thicker...
Wu Wenqi and others looked towards the sea, and saw that on the horizon of the sea, the sky as black as ink was constantly encroaching towards this side.
Wherever the black mist passes, all life is gone, only endless desolation and despair.
Although the academicians were mentally prepared, when their eyes fell on the black fog, they were still unable to resist falling into it.
Negative emotions quickly hit their hearts, and all the academicians looked solemn and their eyes were numb.
The coercion coming from the black mist aroused the deepest fear in everyone's heart.
Under the influence of this emotion, everyone who seemed calm was actually on the verge of collapse.
Not only the academicians, but also the team members standing next to the Conferred God Platform were affected.
Wang Wuchen saw himself standing in the deserted land in the black mist.
The game at your feet has begun, but you, deep in the game, cannot escape from here no matter what.
So what if all the possibilities are exhausted?
The world itself is a chess game, and everyone is a dispensable pawn in the chess game.
The authorities are obsessed with it, and no one can escape this shackles.
Li Wanran returned to the riverside of his childhood and watched his sister walk towards death step by step.
"no no!"
Li Wanran desperately wanted to stop it, but this was just an illusion. How could he change the outcome that had already happened?
Zhang Lingyuan froze on the spot stiffly. An ancient building rose from the ground, but was instantly destroyed.
That was a secret hidden deep in his heart. All these years of traveling around were just to numb himself and forget it all.
The past he experienced emerged in front of his eyes bit by bit.
But when he wanted to get closer, everything disappeared without a trace like the moon in the water or the flowers in the mirror.
Zhang Zhenshan was no longer as calm as before. He closed his eyes, but his body was fighting slightly.
What he saw was a cruel battlefield, littered with corpses, and everyone he knew died there.
Li Wanran's Dragon Yin Sword was broken into two pieces, and Wang Wuchen's Yin Yang robe was stained red with blood.
Zhang Lingyuan's ancient knife pierced his own heart, and Feng Qiqi was dragged into the bottomless abyss by the evil spirit.
The most important thing is that Zhao Qi was among them. He grabbed Zhang Zhenshan's wrist and when he spoke, blood kept spurting out of his mouth.
"Why, why didn't you try harder?"
There is a blood-red sky above the head, and the blood moon reflects on the demons in the sky, making it look like a doomsday scene.
The same was true for Feng Qiqi. A figure kept appearing in the black mist, and a familiar voice kept echoing in her ears.
"Qiqi...Qiqi...I'm here..."
Feng Qiqi's eyes flashed with tears, and then she walked quickly forward.
But in front of her was the vast ocean, but at this moment, Feng Qiqi was completely immersed in illusion, unaware of the approaching danger.
Zhao Qi, who saw all this in his eyes, became more and more solemn in color.
This demon hasn't fully appeared yet, but it has just emitted its power, and it has already caused so many people to fall into it, which shows how powerful the demon is.
Zhao Qi immediately performed Ningjue with one hand, and the sound of Dharma in his mouth came in everyone's mind:
"One thought of ignorance is prajna, and one thought of wisdom is prajna!"
The moment they heard this voice, everyone who felt like they were deep in the ice cave felt a warm current.
The illusions they each saw in the black mist were different, but at this moment, a golden lotus blossomed out of these illusions.
The flowers bloom and make everyone feel happy.
Wang Wuchen gasped for breath and saw that he had reached the edge of the city wall. If he had taken another step just now, he would fall off the city wall and be shattered into pieces.
Li Wanran quickly let go of the Dragon Sword in his hand. The blade was only a few millimeters away from his own neck.
"boom!"
Zhang Zhenshan subconsciously raised his hand toward the sky, and his finger happened to pull the trigger.
A second difference and the outcome would be completely different.
Zhang Lingyuan looked down at the tip of the knife pointed directly at his heart, and took a breath of surprise.
it's hallucination...
Feng Qiqi was also the one who realized later. She looked at the water that had reached her calf in confusion, not knowing when she had reached this point.
"Be still and meditate, what you see with the naked eye is all illusion. What you see with the heart's eye is the truth..."
The academicians could not understand what Zhao Qi said, but the team members understood the deeper meaning.
Several people took a deep breath, and then slowly closed their eyes.
But their eyes were not completely dark. Instead, they saw everything that could be seen with the naked eye from a new perspective.
The black mist was mixed with the chaotic aura of calamity and the coldness that the team members had never seen before.
When they opened their eyes again, the expressions of the team members were all solemn. The opponent had not yet appeared, but the calamity that had formed was already such a threat, which showed how powerful the opponent was.
"Heaven and earth are silent, listen to my truth!"
Only Zhao Qi remained calm in the face of danger, and his voice helped the academicians resist the invading Yin Qi.
“The world of the human world has long been aligned with the six realms, and all sentient beings return to their respective places and dwell in their own places.
However, demons and evil deceivers, trying to invade the human world, specially set up this border pass and set up a altar to confer gods, so as to be famous for conferring gods! "
Zhao Qi stood in mid-air. In this harsh environment of severe cold, snow and wind, he still exuded a cold aura, which was in sharp contrast to everything around him.
"Thousand-year-old Zombie King, Lanling King, please accept the title!"
Zhao Qi slowly opened his eyes, and a golden light hit King Lanling above the city gate.
"Crack!"
The armor on King Lanling made a sound, and then he knelt down with his fists clasped and his head lowered.
This is a habit engraved in his bones. This is true even before and after the war when he listened to the praises he received after the war.
“The corpse has been buried for thousands of years and has not decayed, just because a breath of resentment has not dissipated.
Thousands of years later, the remaining soul returns to the Yang, connects the two realms of Yin and Yang, and attracts hundreds of ghosts to wander at night.
The sin is serious, but I am forgiven for being bewitched by evil spirits. In response to God's goodness of good health, I hereby establish a seal!
Above the gate of the natural barrier, the God of the City is enthroned, and General Guan Tianhua, the god who protects the city, enters the throne of God!
King Lanling, take over the title! "
"Crack!"
Just as Zhao Qi finished speaking, a thunder fell from the sky, but this thunder was not blue, but made up of thousands of golden lights.
boom!
A force lifted King Lanling's body up, and he was struck directly by the thunder. The golden light was dazzling, and everyone couldn't help but lower their heads.
But when the light dissipated, a god general wearing armor and holding a spear stood on the altar.
The right hand of the divine general is a spear with a cold light, but his left hand is a wat board that is only used by civil servants.
"Admiral..."
After hearing Zhao Qi's voice, the god general quickly clasped his fists:
"The end is here!"
"To win the position of City God, you not only need to guard this border, but also guard the road of yin and yang. Lead the souls of the dead into the ghost road. In the land of the yang, ghost parades are prohibited!"
"Taizu's order will be remembered by all the generals!"
Strong power radiated from King Lanling's body, and the accumulated dark clouds in the sky above his head were forcibly dispersed.
Since the military attache who ascended the throne of the City God was also a civil servant, after King Lanling took off his armor, he would become a civil servant with a long beard and long robe, holding a wat board.
The military generals have angry eyes and majestic eyes, the civil servants have kind eyebrows and kind eyes, the city god controls the pass, and all the people are blessed!
……
"The spirit of creation, the weasel spirit, listen to the seal!"
A pressure was exerted on the weasel, and it knelt on the ground before it even had time to react.
It is not difficult to tell from its eyes that it is a little panicked at the moment.
The list of gods in front of Zhao Qi opened a new chapter, and with Zhao Qi's voice, golden handwriting appeared one by one.
"Originally a wild beast in Liangshan, he met fate and enlightened his mind to become a monster.
In order to practice cultivation, he sought titles from various places. Although he was not disgusting, he disrupted the order of the world.
Entering the Divine Conferment Platform today is a destiny. Thanks to heaven and earth, I have made this contract to be canonized as a god! "
Golden light began to gather around the weasel, and its body was lifted up bit by bit.
The moment this power entered its body, its originally chaotic eyes became visibly clear.
"On the dichenguan apotheosis platform, the protector god's position should be in the upright position of the eight heavenly dragons. It enters the side god's position, and the god's name is the eight heavenly dragons protector god!"
The golden light transformed into the shape of a dragon and lingered around the weasel, gradually burying its body in the golden light.
After a while, the golden light gradually dissipated, and a majestic deity holding a single whip stood on the apotheosis platform.
"Crack!"
<divclass="contentadv">Zunshen saluted with clasped fists and said respectfully:
"Thank you Taizu. I will follow Taizu's teachings and live up to my duty as a protector!"
Zhao Qi nodded and continued to consecrate the gods. Under this vast and spectacular scene, the academicians and team members could not recover for a long time.
In addition to King Lanling, the other three spirits were named protectors.
The weasel is the protector deity of the Eight Heavenly Dragons, the rat spirit is named the True Monarch of Tianpeng Baodelingying, and the goat spirit is the True Monarch of Blessing Saints, True Martial Arts, and Protecting Blessings.
The three protectors all showed themselves to be wearing three platforms on their heads, with true martial power, clear and clear energy, and three heads and six arms.
Looking at their appearance alone, these three protectors do not have the spiritual appearance of King Lanling, and each of them has a terrifying image with teeth like sword trees and stern faces.
But this is in line with the portraits of all Dharma protectors since ancient times. The three Dharma protectors are all side gods, and it is their duty to defend the righteous Dharma.
The four gods were sealed and stood on the gates of the four cities. The awe-inspiring righteousness formed behind them connected with each other, forming a line of defense on the coast that was invisible to the naked eye.
The black mist all over the sky retreated crazily into the sea. Seeing this scene, Zhao Qi finally felt a little calmer.
But what he had to do didn't end here.
There are towers above the four city gates, and this is where Zhao Qi gave the four gods their thrones.
The academicians who had been waiting for a long time started to take action one after another. The academician walking at the front was holding a shrine covered with a red cloth in his hand, while the ones behind were beating gongs and drums and walking on the seven-star step, which looked like a dance.
In folk custom, this is called welcoming the gods. They have to play musical instruments all the way from the entrance to the city, and finally put the god into the tower.
Moreover, every time you pass a community or village chief along the way, you have to stop and worship. This ritual is called a roadblock sacrifice.
The four gods were able to show their bodies just now, entirely because of the power of the Gods List.
At this moment, they all disappeared on the stage of conferring gods. Only with the presence of gods in the stage can they appear in this world and perform miracles.
"The sky is round and the earth is round, the laws and regulations are nine chapters, the earth is broken today, everything is auspicious.
With one move of the golden hoe, the hills were filled with gold, and the evil spirits disappeared far away.
Invite God to take the throne and protect one side. Saints from all directions may wish you good luck! "
Four teams to welcome the gods were walking through the roads of various cities.
Among the sounds of playing, playing and singing, you can always hear their chanting.
The names of the four gods were engraved on the shrines held by the academician at the front. After the parade, these shrines were placed in the towers above the city gate.
"Weihai County Chenghuang Temple!"
"Binhai County Dharma Protector Pavilion!"
"Chuyang County Dharma Protector Pavilion!"
"Lindao County Protector's Pavilion!"
The towers above the four city gates had new names. The moment the four gods returned to their thrones, thousands of rays of light and purple energy came from the east.
Citizens in other cities and counties in Dongshan Prefecture stopped one after another, raised their heads in various parts of the city, and looked towards the east.
"So beautiful..."
The sky is full of glowing light, dotted with clouds and mists, making it look like a dream.
Especially under the light of the sun, the rays of light and thousands of auspicious colors reflect the horizon into a picture like a fairyland.
"Is this what the ancients said about Purple Qi coming from the east?"
"It's a good sign. Isn't that an empty city that has been evacuated? What happened..."
People were talking a lot, and many people took out their mobile phones, took photos and posted them online.
Purple energy came from the east and auspicious signs appeared in the sky. This scene lasted for as long as a stick of incense, which surprised everyone.
……
Li Mi and Wu Wenqi were completely unable to react to what happened.
These things, in the past, looked like engaging in feudal superstition.
But now, they saw Zhao Qili consecrating himself to the gods in the air with their own eyes, and all the doubts in their hearts were eliminated at that moment.
At the moment, they just find it unbelievable. Gods, demons, formations, rituals...
All this is subverting their original worldview.
……
After learning that the gods had entered their respective divine pavilions, Zhao Qi finally breathed a deep sigh of relief.
He took back the list of gods, looked at the gate of Weihai County in front of him, and thought secretly in his heart.
At this point, all the preparations that need to be made have been made.
So what will be the result?
When the thought came to his mind, a formation suddenly spread out under Zhao Qi's feet, and then Zhao Qi sat cross-legged on the spot, motionless.
Even when the team members rushed back, Zhao Qi remained motionless.
"Commander Wu, who is the supervisor?"
Facing Zhang Zhenshan's inquiry, Wu Wenqi shook his head in confusion:
"I don't know. Inspector Zhao has been like this for a while, and we don't dare to disturb him..."
Upon hearing this, the team members walked towards Zhao Qi one after another.
But when he got closer, Wang Wuchen frowned and stopped everyone:
"The supervisor is currently in Vipassana and cannot be disturbed!"
“What is Vipassana?”
Li Wanran was quick to speak and asked this question for others.
"The way of heaven is called round, and the way of earth is called square. Square is called quiet, and round is called bright.
The one who understands is the one who exhales, so this is the appearance.
The secluded one also contains the Qi, so it is the inner view. "
Wang Wuchen spoke eloquently, but several people looked confused.
"Daxian, you'd better speak Chinese!"
Wang Wuchen sighed helplessly, and then explained simply and clearly:
"Vipassana is a sorcerer's unique mental state. There are thousands of divination methods in the world, and they are nothing more than an auxiliary way to help the divination person control the mental state.
In other words, powerful people do not need to use copper coins, iron sticks, Zhouyi, Liuyao and other methods to divination, because they can control their own mental scenes, so they can enter Vipassana at will.
You can think that Inspector Zhao is doing divination. He is in his mind at this moment, observing the myriad changes in the situation to judge the good or bad. "
This explanation finally made several people suddenly realize.
"Then what is Inspector Zhao trying to predict, the outcome of this battle?"
"Probably……"
Wang Wuchen nodded in response to Zhang Zhenshan, and then looked toward the sea with worry:
"You must have fallen into this trap before, and you were stuck in the illusion and couldn't extricate yourself.
Without the emissary’s reminder, I’m afraid we wouldn’t be able to stand here and speak.
The guy hiding under the sea is so powerful that we are completely unable to match him now.
This is destined to be a fierce battle and is inevitable..."
While the team members were talking, Zhao Qi finally slowly opened his eyes.
"Supervisor, what's going on? Is it good or bad?"
Li Xuanran asked impatiently, but Zhao Qi stood up with a strange expression, looked at the team members, and then shook his head.
The team members couldn't tell for a moment whether Zhao Qi shook his head because he didn't see the result, or whether the development of things was not optimistic.
"Come to the conference room in 10 minutes..."
After leaving these words, Zhao Qi left here without looking back.
Looking at Zhao Qi's back, the team members looked at each other, but no one could figure out what happened.
The team members didn't know that Zhao Qi was feeling quite complicated at the moment. He saw the results in his inner vision, but he couldn't be happy at all.
After returning to the room, Zhao Qi sat alone in the room and was silent for a moment. The atmosphere was as depressing as his mood.
Does it have to be this way...?
What other ways are there?
Zhao Qi kept thinking about it in his heart. Obviously, the situation he saw in Vipassana made it difficult for Zhao Qi to calm down.
……
The team members discussed Zhao Qi's strange attitude in confusion. Everyone could see that something was obviously not right.
"Great Immortal, aren't you good at pinching and calculating? You can also calculate, maybe you can get the answer?"
At the suggestion of the team members, Wang Wuchen took out six copper coins from his pocket.
"Whoa... whoa..."
Wang Wuchen kept shaking the copper coins in his hand, then scattered them on the ground, and recorded the hexagrams through the front and back.
"I'm not as powerful as Inspector Zhao, and I can't enter Vipassana to see the detailed development of things.
I can only roughly judge good or bad luck through divination..."
While saying this, Wang Wuchen completed the last throw.
Every time he threw it, Wang Wuchen would scratch a straight line on the side, or two horizontal bars separated in the middle.
In the hexagrams, these are called Yin Yao and Yang Yao.
After six throws, and then through the changes from extreme yang to yin, and extreme yin to yang, one of the 64 hexagrams will be obtained.
But when Wang Wuchen saw the final result, his eyes widened, and even the copper coins in his hand were scattered on the ground.
"Great Immortal, what's going on? What's the result?"
Li Wanran asked anxiously, and several other people also noticed Wang Wuchen's gaffe.
This gave them an ominous premonition, so they became even more eager to get Wang Wuchen to give an accurate response.
Wang Wuchen raised his head in astonishment, looked at several people and said word by word:
"The lower part is separated from the upper part, which is the six hexagrams No. 30, Earth Fire Ming Yi Hexagram!
The phoenix's wings are hanging down, and the dead wood is rotting, which is unlucky, and it is a big disaster in the hexagram! "
Suddenly, the team members fell silent, and the expressions on their faces became increasingly stiff.
……
Ten minutes later, the team members sat in silence at the conference table, each looking at each other in silence.
Wang Wuchen's hexagram just now made everyone present feel uneasy. They seemed to be able to understand why Zhao Qi looked so solemn before. It was probably because of this.
Looking at the team members in front of him, Zhao Qi was the first to speak.
“Everyone, according to my speculation, the concentration of solar terms will reach its highest at midnight tonight.
Starting today, we may encounter surprise attacks every day.
Perhaps the only thing worth being happy about is the settlement of the border and the successful apotheosis of the gods.
We will eventually have an inevitable battle with the demons dormant in the abyss. Do you remember what I said before?
For victory, to defend the future of mankind..."
Before Zhao Qi finished speaking, the team members all said in unison:
"at all costs!"
Zhao Qi looked at the team members with a somewhat complicated look. Both Wang Wuchen and Zhang Zhenshan were keenly aware that Zhao Qi was restraining his emotions.
"Supervisor, Wang Da Xian'er made a divination, and the divination showed great misfortune. Does this mean that we have no chance of winning in this battle?"
Li Wanran took a sip of wine, and his suppressed voice made the atmosphere in the room more calm.
"No! Wuchen, what divination are you predicting?"
"Earth Fire Ming Yi Gua."
Zhao Qi nodded thoughtfully, and then explained the full meaning of this hexagram.
"The Dihuo Mingyi hexagram is the No. 64 hexagram among the 30 hexagrams.
Mingyi represents fire entering the pit, Yang Qi is harmed by Yin Qi, and is seriously injured by evil and sycophants.
It is a time of great misfortune, when everything is unfavorable and unlucky.
It seems that this is indeed a bad hexagram. There are no unsolvable hexagrams among all the 64 hexagrams in single dialect.
Therefore, another meaning of this hexagram is that if bad luck can be overcome and the future can be stretched or bent, the future will become brighter.
Being patient and determined, being foolish on the outside and wise on the inside, can help you become auspicious in times of adversity. Acting cautiously and being cautious in everything can make a difference.
Therefore, there are no absolutes in this world. Even in the ominous hexagrams, there will still be opportunities. "
Zhao Qi's words relieved the team members' depressed mood a little.
Indeed, compared to a predetermined tragic ending, this hope is the most precious fire of mankind.
"This is for you..."
As Zhao Qi spoke, he opened a small box with the logo of Qin Tian Jian Bao Refining Division on the box.
There are five jade pendants placed in this box, each with the same formation pattern engraved on them.
The team members followed what Zhao Qi said and picked up a jade pendant.
Holding it in your hand, this jade pendant will have a slightly cool touch. At the same time, as long as you put your mind on this jade pendant for a moment, you can feel the extremely huge power hidden in the jade pendant formation.
"These are the 5 pieces of Yin Jade that were taken from the Treasure Refining Department in order to detect the Feng Shui terrain.
The formation pattern on the Yin Jade was engraved by me personally. You must wear it 24 hours a day, as it will naturally be useful at critical moments. "
Feng Qiqi looked at the jade pendant in her hand, then looked up at Zhao Qi.
From just now, she felt that Zhao Qi's emotions were very complicated, and there was even a bit of unbearability in his eyes when he looked at them.
Women may always have far better talents than men in this regard, so she took the lead in wearing this piece of jade around her neck without saying anything.
The rest of the team members also did the same. It wasn't until he saw that the team members were all wearing jade pendants that Zhao Qifang sat down.
“Today’s meeting was mainly about chatting.
Everyone has worked hard during this period, traveling around and successfully completing tasks, and bringing the spirits back, and this is how the four gods stand in triplicate.
I have been worried that you are not ready, but in fact, you are growing up faster than I thought. "
Zhao Qiyu looked at the team members attentively and spoke. There was always a suppressed emotion in his voice, and he did not want to express it in front of the team members.
“This battle is crucial and even I have no choice.
You guys, do you understand? "
The team members seemed a little confused. Even the very nervous Li Wanran noticed that Zhao Qi's mood was not right.
"Supervisor, nothing happened?"
Facing Li Wanran's inquiry, Zhao Qiqiang forced out a smile and shook his head:
"It's okay, I just want to talk to you.
Okay, let's all go back and take a rest. Starting from midnight tonight, everyone needs to be mentally alert, and there will be no time to rest. "
Zhao Qi suddenly ended the conversation, and the team members left the place one after another with doubts.
Zhao Qi lowered his head and looked at the table in front of him, obviously absent-minded. He didn't even notice that Feng Qiqi was sitting there and never left.
"What happened?"
Hearing Feng Qiqi's voice, Zhao Qi raised his head. Just as he was about to speak, Feng Qiqi continued:
"Don't tell me it's okay. Everyone can see that you are not feeling well."
Zhao Qi looked at Feng Qiqi deeply for a few seconds, and then said something that surprised even Feng Qiqi.
"Among the team members, you are the only one who does not sincerely want to stay.
So if you want to leave now, I'll let you.
The danger of this battle is far beyond our expectations, so perhaps now is the most appropriate time for you to leave.
Since you are not sincere in staying, there is no need to take risks again..."
After Zhao Qi finished speaking, he did not get the happy reaction from Feng Qiqi as he imagined. Instead, a dark cloud hung over her eyebrows.
"Who do you think I am?"
Feng Qiqi raised her head and looked directly at Zhao Qi, with a bit of resentment in her eyes.
This reaction was somewhat unexpected to Zhao Qidu.
It was obvious that she had always wanted to leave, so why did she have such an attitude now that she had let go?
"I want to leave. I have left a long time ago. Do you think you can bluff me once, and you can bluff me a second time?"
As Feng Qiqi spoke, she spread her palms. Zhao Qi clearly saw that there were two clear wounds on the pads of Feng Qiqi's index finger and middle finger.
"You didn't set any taboos on me at all. That drop of black blood was caused by the power you gave me, right?"
Feng Qiqi actually tried again in Nanzhao County, but this time the blood from her fingertips was red. This made Feng Qiqi immediately realize that the words Zhao Qi left were just a deterrent as before.
But this also made Feng Qiqi wonder why Zhao Qin would rather intimidate her over and over again than actually set up a taboo. Wouldn't it be easier that way?
It was precisely after understanding this that Feng Qiqi gave up the idea of leaving, and instead began to complete the task wholeheartedly.
In this way, the goat spirit can be successfully brought back to Dongshan Prefecture.
But now that Zhao Qi said something like this again, Feng Qiqi really didn't know how to understand it.
"I can feel that you really don't want to hurt me.
It was precisely because of this that I made a decision that I couldn't even figure out.
But I didn't expect to hear such words from you.
I will leave, after this matter is settled..."
Feng Qiqi stood up and left the conference room with a cold face.
Looking at Feng Qiqi's back, Zhao Qi sighed deeply.
At this time, no one felt more complicated than him. Everything he saw in Vipassana was difficult for Zhao Qi to accept.
On one side is an unchangeable fate, on the other is the future of mankind. Zhao Qi is caught in a real dilemma.
"Is it true that the established destiny cannot be changed?"
Zhao Qi murmured to himself, then closed his eyes again and immersed himself in Vipassana.
……
The team members did not go back to their rooms after leaving the conference room, because they also noticed that something was not right about Zhao Qi today.
"Dong dong dong..."
Li Wanran knocked on Wang Wuchen's door, holding a wine gourd in his hand.
"Da Xian'er, would you like some drink?"
Wang Wuchen smiled bitterly and took a cup from the side:
"You're too drunk, just have a drink..."
Li Wanran poured half a glass of wine for Wang Wuchen, then raised his neck and drank a few more mouthfuls, then leaned back on the chair and started talking.
"Da Xian'er, have you noticed it too?"
Wang Wuchen naturally knew what Li Wanran was talking about, so he nodded quickly:
"The supervisor must have seen something in Vipassana. Unfortunately, my spiritual practice is not deep enough and I cannot enter Vipassana at will like the supervisor."
Li Suanran said with some worry:
“I have never seen Inspector Zhao’s face with the expression he has today.
This expression is very depressing and complicated.
You say this is an inevitable battle, are we really sure we can win? "
"Must win!"
Wang Wuchen responded simply and neatly:
"What Inspector Zhao said is that this is related to the future destiny of mankind, so we must do whatever it takes."
"Okay, you're so relieved. It makes me look effeminate to care."
Li Xuanran took another sip of wine boldly:
"Then don't think about it so much. If you want to get involved in the human world, you have to make it lose its skin even if you can't kill it!"
Hearty laughter spread to the room next door, where Zhang Lingyuan and Zhang Zhenshan sat across from each other.
Hearing Li Wanran's bold voice coming from next door, Zhang Zhenshan smiled and shook his head:
“I never expected that I would encounter so many things one after another in such a short time after joining Qin Tian Prison.
Not much else to say..."
Zhang Zhenshan stretched out his hand, looked at Zhang Lingyuan and said word by word:
"Fighting side by side, this battle is unavoidable, so let's face it head-on!"
Zhang Lingyuan nodded. Although he was not good at words, his heart was also affected by the enthusiasm of other team members at this moment.
He quickly held Zhang Zhenshan's hand. There was no need for words between men, as sometimes one action would settle everything.
Next door to this room is Feng Qiqi's room. At this moment, she is sitting alone in the room, with her legs curled up in front of her chest and her hands wrapped around her.
Everything that had happened in this period of time kept replaying in her mind, and everyone's faces flashed through his mind one by one.
I don't know when she started to feel reluctant to leave this place, and even she couldn't explain it clearly.
But when everyone was actively preparing for the war, Zhao Qi only told him that he could leave on his own if he wanted to leave.
This really made Feng Qiqi's heart feel like it was stabbed with a knife...
Slowly raising her head, Feng Qiqi's downcast eyes trembled slightly. She looked at the city wall in the distance and was speechless for a long time.
As the sky darkens, the room becomes even more depressing.
Feng Qiqi sat alone by the window, unconsciously reaching out to hold the jade pendant, thinking a lot.
……
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the icy and snowy Weihai County is filled with goose feathers and flying snow.
Continuous white snow falls day and night, causing the city's temperature to drop.
The windows were covered with frost, and the cold wind was like an ice knife, scratching people's bones.
The night came quietly, Zhao Qi led the team members to the city gate, and stared at the sea affectionately and solemnly.
The ringing of midnight also means that the peaceful days are over.
Starting today, everyone must be fully alert to guard against the invasion of demons.
The lonely white snow fell with the loneliness and coldness of the world and scattered on the ground, sketching a sad and beautiful picture.
Under Zhao Qi's order, the team members began to go to various cities and counties. They are the only guarding force and do not carry all the hope of mankind.
Zhang Lingyuan went to Dichen Pass, Zhang Zhenshan went to Shan'ao Pass, and Feng Qiqi guarded Haihai Pass alone.
Wang Wuchen and Li Wanran were guarding Tianxian Pass. If there was any sign of being attacked at any pass, others would quickly go through the city wall to provide support.
In this way, the land of four cities was like a cage, defending the human cities at the rear.
The team members stood on the city gate, next to the towers enshrining various gods.
They looked at the sea, determined and calm.
However, day by day passed, and the attack that everyone was fully prepared to face did not come.
Wu Wenqi and Li Mi were ordered to stay away from the war zone. They discussed more than once whether they had made a mistake and this crisis would never have occurred.
What they didn't know was that there was no peace in the depths of the sea a few days ago.
At a position of 7000 meters on the seabed, the chaotic airflow caused the seafloor to be extremely filthy. Compared with the last time Zhao Qi came to check, the Tianyuan was much solidified.
The only thing that hasn't changed is the darkness in the abyss.
"Zi..."
A scarlet light suddenly appeared in the abyss.
Immediately afterwards, the darkness inside Tianyuan seemed to be opened by a sharp weapon, and masses of black mist flew out one after another.
"Hahaha……"
Sharp and harsh laughter came from within the abyss, and a chaotic black mist crazily absorbed the calamity energy gathered around it.
"I have finally waited for this moment. I have been coveting the land of Saha for a long time!"
Another group of black mist also quickly began to spread, and the figure became several times larger than before in the blink of an eye.
"We have actually arrived on earth, and chaos and darkness will begin to spread.
Don’t forget the mission assigned by the king. What we want to destroy is the dragon vein in the world, prevent the revival of spiritual energy in the world, and give birth to powerful awakened ones! "
These sounds are comparable to noise, and there is no distinguishing between men and women at all. There is only a chaotic and sticky feeling.
Four masses of black mist flew out of the abyss one after another. Visible to the naked eye, a large number of solar terms everywhere were rapidly entering these four masses of black mist.
The accumulated dark clouds in the sea and sky became a bit darker, and even visible to the naked eye, these black clouds began to surge like liquid.
"Beep beep..."
A piercing siren soon came from the Atlanti exploration fleet, which had been parked on the high seas and wanted to learn about the Great Yan Kingdom's intelligence.
Admiral Ryers looked at the display screen in front of him, and then looked at the sky in the distance through the window in confusion.
The information displayed on the screen baffled him.
The radar detected an unknown energy rising at a high speed, but it was unable to locate the energy source at all. This was clearly against common sense!
Exploration fleets from several other countries also began to receive alerts one after another, but before they could start tracking the rising energy, the signal suddenly disappeared.
"The system is down?"
The technician quickly checked it several times, but still could not find the source of the problem.
This made everyone who was already confused even more confused.
The four masses of black mist were completely invisible to the naked eye, and the large-scale ripples on the sea surface were caused by the black mist coming out of the sea.
But since leaving Tianyuan, these four black fogs have disappeared. The direction of the black fog can only be judged through the traces of tribulation energy that are constantly being absorbed.
"Crack!"
On the island, cracks began to appear in the Five Elements objects previously established, the light on the lighthouse disappeared, and the sea surface was once again immersed in darkness.
Four groups of black mist quickly approached the shore, so fast that not even the fastest airplanes today could match it.
In the dark, Zhao Qi, who was sitting in meditation, opened his eyes.
"Snapped!"
The ancient Taoist scrolls lying nearby were scattered all over the place for no reason.
