These sect monks who were avoiding the disaster would never know Tang Zhen's identity, let alone that he was actually the source of the disaster.
Even if they knew, what could they do? Xihe, the God-King of the Great Realm, were all defeated by Tang Zhen. How could these little monks defy heaven?
The reason for Tang Zhen's advice was that these sect monks were quite interesting.
The sect leader is pedantic and paranoid, and so are his disciples. Although it is clear that a disaster is imminent, they are still "obsessed".
Compared with other practitioners, they are indeed very special.
It's just that an interesting soul cannot save lives. Facing this inevitable catastrophe, we must not hold on to any luck.
As for whether the other party listened to the advice, gave up on the people, or abandoned his cultivation, these have nothing to do with Tang Zhen.
There won't be any cause and effect, even the slightest involvement with Tang Zhen.
Continuing to patrol forward, we traveled millions of miles in a blink of an eye, gradually approaching the edge of the Xihe border.
But until now, no useful clues have been found.
The Ancestral Stars were extremely cautious when escaping, and would never leave any clues behind.
The purpose of doing this is naturally to avoid being pursued by the monks in Loucheng.
If there are clues left everywhere, that would be a real abnormality, and one must doubt whether the enemy has set up a trap.
Tang Zhen contacted other god kings and found nothing.
Such a result is actually expected.
The powerful God King chose to avoid the battle, and there was no possibility of a confrontation at all.
If you want to hide, you may not be able to find traces of the other party even if you search for tens of thousands of years.
What can be done now is to continue to sit in Xihe Dajing and wait for the next order from the Cornerstone Platform.
Tang Zhen stopped tracking and entered an abandoned sect.
The sect's protective formation has completely stopped operating, allowing the originally mysterious Dongtian Welfare to be revealed.
Tang Zhen was able to confirm at a glance that the protective formation was deliberately terminated and all the materials needed to maintain its operation were taken out.
Apparently upon hearing that the disaster was coming, the monks of the sect searched for all the resources and fled to places outside the realm of Xihe.
Not only the sect's protective array, but also all valuable areas have been severely damaged.
It may take hundreds or thousands of years to operate and inherit this sect. If you want to destroy it, it may be done overnight.
The sect in front of us looks quite desolate, and it no longer looks like the full aura it once had.
Within this sect, there are actually many mortals. They chop firewood to cook, pick wild fruits under the trees, and search for wild vegetables and medicinal materials in the trampled elixir garden.
In the eyes of the fleeing monks, such medicinal materials are just like weeds, but for ordinary people, they are truly life-saving medicine.
Seeing Tang Zhen walking slowly, these people did not panic, and some even bowed to him.
Just by looking at Tang Zhen's attire, you can tell that he is an extraordinary person.
Tang Zhen chuckled and nodded, walking slowly inside the sect, and soon stood under a tree in a square.
There was an old man in front of him, carrying a bucket of bright red fruits, which had obviously just been washed in mountain spring water.
There is a cauldron in front of the old man. It must have been used by the sect for alchemy in the past. When the monks evacuated, it was thrown away because it was of little value.
As a result, it fell into the hands of the old man and became a tool for cooking food.
There is a rune array on this cauldron, which can automatically heat up as long as liquid is added. The old man obviously discovered the use of the medicinal cauldron, so he used it as a cooking cauldron.
If it were in the past, the old man's behavior would have been treasonous and unethical, and he would definitely be severely punished by practitioners.
In order to maintain their own dignity, practitioners follow strange and harsh rules, and will be severely punished if they are violated.
However, as the practitioners fled, the once glorious sect was abandoned, and mortals driven by suppression became residents of the sect.
"Old man, do you know the rune circle?"
Tang Zhen looked at the old man and asked with a smile.
"I'm just a tailor and don't know anything about rune formations, but I have heard many similar rumors in my daily life.
I discovered the beauty of this cauldron because my little grandson peed because he was naughty..."
When Tang Zhen heard this, he immediately laughed.
"interesting."
In the temple not far away, there is indeed a large family with a weathered look on their faces, as well as unresolved fatigue and fear.
"You also entered this sect to avoid disaster?"
The old man nodded and said that he had heard that the disaster was coming, so he fled with his family.
After escaping for a while, I heard that this catastrophe was only targeting practitioners.
Although the news has been reopened, the vast majority of people are still doubtful about it.
The old man couldn't bear to have his family displaced, and he felt that this kind of running was meaningless. Even if a mortal traveled nearly a hundred miles a day, he was not qualified to be compared with a monk.
So I made a decision immediately and didn't move forward.
It happened that there was a sect nearby, and the mountains were full of sweet wild fruits, so the old man took his family of dozens of people and entered this sect to rest temporarily.
Not only the old man's family, but also dozens of other families followed him up the mountain.
They couldn't escape and didn't want to escape, so they stayed inside the sect and left it to fate whether they lived or died.
While talking to Tang Zhen, the fruits in the tripod had been cooked, and the old man kept pounding and sorting them, turning them into a pile of thick pulp porridge.
During the cooking process, the old man crushed some leaves to extract juice and filled the gold pot next to it.
For ordinary people, this is a very valuable item, but in the eyes of practitioners, it is a common thing.
The monks of the sect fled and the gold jar was carelessly discarded on the ground.
For the old man, the gold pot cannot be exchanged for food or drink. Its only function is to serve as tableware.
Take out the cooked pulp and put it into a golden square plate next to it, then pour the sap into it and stir.
It didn't take long for it to condense into jelly.
This golden square plate is also engraved with a rune array, which has a cooling effect.
The old man took out a short sword, which also had a rune array on it, but it was only the lowest type.
They were all tools used by monks when refining alchemy. They were discarded together when they were evacuated, and they also became tools for the old man's cooking.
Using the wild fruits of this sect and his own experience, the old man made a pot of food.
It looks good, and eating it is good for your body and mind.
"Your Excellency, do you want to taste it?"
The old man looked at Tang Zhen and asked tentatively. He was actually a little embarrassed and didn't know whether he should speak.
It is really embarrassing to speak for fear of offending and not to appear rude.
The more noble the person is, the harder it is to entertain them, and if they are more pretentious, things will be even harder to handle.
"Thank you."
Tang Zhen picked up a piece and put it in his mouth to taste. The sweetness and tenderness of the pulp combined with the gum gave it a unique flavor.
Several children had already come running over, begging for food around the old man, and the old man's family members also came around one after another.
After they saw Tang Zhen, they all bowed and saluted, obviously they all had a good education.
Other people watched from a distance, or they were busy cooking food, sewing and repairing clothes and shoes.
Tang Zhen moved forward slowly and found an uninhabited house to use as a temporary residence.
When the people saw this, they breathed a sigh of relief.
They saw how extraordinary Tang Zhen was and were afraid of being driven down the mountain or punished.
This journey has been full of ups and downs, and they urgently need a place to stay. If they are kicked out of this sect again, it will be difficult for them to have a chance to survive.
