"You go first, I'll go to the wine cellar." The prince nodded towards the warehouse in the distance.
"I still have some in my Qiankun bag. Let's go. It's not suitable to stay here for a long time." Wu Dongfang said.
The prince thought for a while and then said, "You go back and clean up first. I'll go find the food and go back with them."
Wu Dongfang nodded in agreement and returned to the deserted village of Shui Tribe. Xunhai and Niuniu were not in the village. The stove was cold and there was dust on the table. This showed that the two had been away for a long time.
However, the bedding on the kang is no longer there, and it is impossible to take the bedding away if he is killed. After a brief pause, Wu Dongfang went out to the west and came to the earthen house covering the plane. As expected, Xunhai and Niu Niu were guarding the house.
When he returned to the deserted village with the two of them and cleaned the room, Wu Dongfang selectively told Xunhai what had happened before. Xunhai was anxious when he heard that the wizards of his tribe had suffered heavy casualties, but he left the water tribe for too long and did not go back. Reasons and excuses for visits.
"Xun Shuang has rushed back. With her on hand to deal with the aftermath, the situation will soon be stabilized." Wu Dongfang expressed relief.
Xunhai nodded, picked up the bucket and went out to fetch water.
The four of them previously found a large amount of loot from the black-robed wizard. In addition to spiritual objects, there was also a lot of food. The Qiankun bag that stored the food was on Wu Dongfang's body. Most of the food was raw. In the evening, the three of them ate meat.
After the meal, the three of them started cooking again. These were prepared for Ming Yue and the others. According to the time calculation, the prince and Ming Yue and his party should return to the deserted village in the middle of the night.
After the food was ready, the people came back. The one who ran at the front was the rice bucket. He opened the door and rushed towards Wu Dongfang.
Everyone sat down to eat and went back to their rooms after the meal. Ming Zhan lived in the same room as the prince and did not go back to the west mud house. The research work was to be completed in one go. Once it stopped, he had to reorganize his thoughts.
For the next three days, everyone was stranded in the deserted village. It would take time for Xun Shuang to come back and deal with the mess, so she couldn't be summoned for the time being.
Everyone has not been idle these days. They are sorting and packing aircraft parts in the west mud house. Hundreds of large and small parts and remaining fuel are packed in hundreds of stone boxes. To transport so many things, at least hundreds of horse-drawn carriages are needed.
Earth Escape can carry inanimate things, but the amount of spiritual energy consumed is proportional to the weight of the thing carried and the distance it moves. The prince's teleportation can also carry things, but the weight it can carry is even smaller. With so many parts, it can only Transported by horse-drawn carriage.
Three days later, the packing was completed. In the early morning of the fourth day, Wu Dongfang called Xunhai and Niu Niu to ask for their thoughts on whether to stay or go. Xunhai chose to be with his tribe, while Niu Niu chose to be with Xunhai.
After confirming their thoughts, Wu Dongfang crushed the water essence ball left by Xun Shuang.
Xun Shuang couldn't escape, so it would take some time to get here. During this period, everyone prepared a banquet, and Xun Shuang arrived at noon.
This time she was not wearing the holy witch robe, but was wearing a black robe and casual clothes. She was carrying a long cloth bag with her, which contained the Water Tribe's divine weapon, the Black Ice Halberd.
Seeing Xun Shuang, Xun Hai immediately stepped forward and knelt down to salute. Wu Dongfang had told Xun Shuang about Xun Hai before, and Xun Shuang also agreed to Xun Hai's return to the aquarium. This time it was just a formality.
After meeting the holy witches of his tribe and gaining his identity, Xunhai bid farewell to everyone in tears and left the deserted village with Niu Niu, who looked back frequently. At present, there was a serious shortage of wizards from the water tribe, so Xunshuang arranged a new job for him, and he was going to take up his post.
Watching Xunhai and Niu Niu go away, Wu Dongfang was sad and relieved.
After Xunhai left, Wu Dongfang invited Xunshuang to the room to drink and talk. At this time, the concept of respect and inferiority was already very serious. People with different identities and different statuses could not eat at the same table, especially when outsiders were present.
"The tribe will be able to send carriages and horses here tomorrow morning at the latest." Xun Shuang said. She had ordered Xun Hai to go to the tribe to send a message. Everyone in the tribe knew that there was a deserted village here, and they could find it without Xun Hai leading the way.
"Okay, how's it going in the tribe?" Wu Dongfang didn't say polite words. He said polite words to outsiders. The two of them have a life-long friendship now, so there is no need to be polite.
Xun Shuang shook his head and grabbed the wine bowl and drank it down. "The Heavenly Master was controlled by the demon dragon and then attacked the royal family and wizards of his tribe. The King of Water was killed, and there were only five or six wizards who survived. The night before yesterday, he returned with the coffin in his hand. Two of the Celestial Masters could not stand the guidance and misunderstandings of their tribesmen, so they chose to commit suicide by dispersing their skills. Together with Xunhai who had been sent away earlier, the water tribe wizards only had one punch left."
"It's quite a lot, more than three times that of the Jin tribe." Wu Dongfang joked with a wry smile. The Water tribe is in this situation, the Fire tribe and the Wood tribe are definitely not much better. Xun Shuang is pretty tough, Fei Xuan and Xin Tong He was probably crying secretly at this time.
Xun Shuang poured himself a bowl of wine and handed the wine jar to Wu Dongfang, "I have always been holding back a bad breath in my heart, and I wish I could kill all the Tu wizards to relieve my hatred."
"This is not the first time they have done this. If they could kill me, they would have killed me long ago. Do you think I let Yunping and the others go just to allow Si Shaokang to take over smoothly?" After pouring the wine, Wu Dongfang put down the wine jar.
"Any other considerations?" Xun Shuang frowned and looked at Wu Dongfang. When she frowns, she wrinkles her nose, which makes her expression look fierce. This is not because she is fierce towards Wu Dongfang, but because she has developed a habit over the years.
"Back then, the wizards of the Jin tribe were massacred by the Tu tribe. Out of revenge, I abolished the wizards in two states of the Tu tribe. The winter was very cold that year. Many people froze to death in Yangzhou. In winter, the Yang energy was low, and the resentment of the dead souls remained in the earth. They cause harm, and without the restraint of the wizard, they run rampant and do whatever they want," Wu Dongfang said.
"I asked Xunhai to take up his post immediately because of this consideration. A similar situation has already occurred in the Minshan tribe." Xunshuang frowned.
"In the previous battle, the four tribes of wizards suffered heavy casualties, and there is a serious shortage of wizards. If the situation in Yangzhou happens again, we will not be able to deal with it. The top priority is to train wizards as soon as possible, but our spells are severely limited by blood," Wu Dongfang He picked up the wine bowl and took a sip, then put it down and continued, "The only way now is to return to Kunlun Mountain. The wizards there are not pure blood, but they can use spells. We can go and learn from them."
Xun Shuang frowned and said nothing. He picked up the wine bowl and wanted to drink. He put the bowl down to his mouth and said, "What you said makes sense, but you overlooked one point. We can't be sure whether their Qi training methods and the spells they used are They complement each other.”
Wu Dongfang nodded. Xun Shuang was worried that the spiritual energy practiced by the local wizards in the Kunlun Mountains was different from the spiritual energy practiced by the mages of the five races. To put it bluntly, he was worried that their practice methods were not compatible with the current spells of the five races. This kind of The situation is just like the wizards of the five tribes using rifles, and the spiritual energy gained from pure blood training is rifle bullets. If what you work hard to get is a box of pistol bullets, then your work will be completely in vain.
"There is no other way," Wu Dongfang shook his head, "The remaining wizards of the five tribes are not enough to continue to reproduce and inherit. If their practice methods can be used to cast our spells, that would be great. If not , then we can only learn their spells."
Xun Shuang sighed. As Wu Dongfang said, people with pure bloodline are almost dead. No matter what the situation is, the existing wizard system will completely change. Pure bloodline is no longer a prerequisite for practice and cannot be used. How soon can everyone learn spells.
Wu Dongfang said again, "One of the black-robed wizards had previously taken away the Lu Wu inner elixir in my hand and went back to make elixirs. This shows that there is at least one elixir cauldron in Kunlun Mountain, and there may be more."
Xun Shuang picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp, then took a plate of fried beans and ate them one by one. If Wu Dongfang's inference was correct, alchemy would no longer be the exclusive preserve of the Tu people.
Neither of them spoke for a few minutes. After three or four minutes, Xun Shuang put down his plate and clapped his hands, "I have been paying close attention to the movements of the Tu tribe these days. According to reports from spies lurking in the Tu tribe, Si Shaokang's succession went smoothly. Without any hindrance, Kyushu has sent out protons.”
"Good thing." Wu Dongfang nodded. To put it bluntly, the hostage is a hostage. The court usually names a son of the princes and kings. In name, he is a guest, but in fact he comes to take custody. If the princes and kings rebel, the hostages will be Got clicked off.
"Si Shaokang sent an envoy in the name of the emperor, permanently exempting the Shui tribe from taxes. In addition, he transported thousands of bags of fine grain and countless utensils to show his compensation." Xun Shuang said.
"The envoy has arrived?" Wu Dongfang asked. Millet is millet with the shell removed, which is the finest grain. A bag is usually thirty kilograms today, and three hundred thousand kilograms of grain is one hundred and fifty tons. Nowadays, It was nothing, but it was an outright gift in the Xia Dynasty, which had not yet solved the problem of food and clothing.
"No, we're still on the way." Xun Shuang said.
Wu Dongfang smiled. Both Si Shaokang and Yun Ping were smart people. This move killed two birds with one stone. Before the gift was delivered, he shouted out and left. This undoubtedly told the princes of Jiuzhou, "We have a very close relationship with the four tribes of gold, wood, water and fire." Well, you'd better be honest. '
"I don't want to accept their gifts." Xun Shuang grabbed the wine jar and poured a bowl.
"What a gift? This is compensation. Don't give it in vain. Don't forget, you still owe the Mu clan for the famine." Wu Dongfang smiled.
Xun Shuang hesitated and changed the topic, "What are your plans in the future?"
"When we finish dealing with the clan affairs and go to Kunlun Mountain together, I always have a bad feeling. I feel that the current peace will not last long." Wu Dongfang said.
"Oh?" Xun Shuang looked confused.
"Let me tell you clearly, the three elders of the Jin clan used to use the Three Ages Peeping Life back then. From the Three Ages Peeping Life, they saw me using the Yamu Dragon Ting to kill ghosts in the underworld, but I didn't use it last time we went down to the underworld. Yamu Longting, now that I have obtained the two sacred skills of the Jin clan, why should I go to the underworld?" Wu Dongfang said.
"Are you worried that we will have a war with the underworld?" Xun Shuang asked.
"I hope my worries are unnecessary." Wu Dongfang said. The prince had spied on Si Shaokang's spiritual consciousness before and learned that Ji Ke was teaching the Tu tribe's holy skills to Si Ruo. Ji Ke was a selfless and loyal minister. Ming Zhao's death was of course It would make her grief-stricken, but she would never abandon her skills and commit suicide, at least not until Si Shaokang regained control of the world. Since she didn't commit suicide, there was only one possibility for her to pass on the Tu tribe's holy skills to Siruo in advance, and that was that she was going to do something that she considered extremely dangerous, and she was afraid that she would not be able to come back.
With Ji Ke's cultivation, unless she is attacked by the four of them, no one is her opponent. In other words, nothing in the world can pose a threat to her. This shows that extremely dangerous things are unlikely to come from the world. .
Not long ago, Ji Ke had contact with Ming Zhao. Ming Zhao was the ghost king of the eighth level of the underworld. He came out injured. He probably said something to Ji Ke after he came out. From this, Ji Ke learned some things about the underworld. It was these things that made her aware of potential dangers and hidden threats.
Only Ji Ke knows whether this is the case. When he thinks of Ji Ke, he is in a bad mood and is even full of hostility towards Ji Ke. If he thinks about it carefully, his hostility towards Ji Ke may come from his longing for Yamiao. Subconsciously, he has always It feels like Ji Ke killed Yamiao.
"Ghosts cannot see the light of day. The situation you mentioned should not happen." Xun Shuang shook his head and said.
