After a great war, Loulan City, which was originally a well-proportioned city with row upon row of buildings, became dilapidated, with broken walls, rubble and rubble everywhere, like a ruins.
Fortunately, Loulan is built around a mountain and has many basements and other buildings, which can be used as a shelter. In addition, most of the attention of the Bing Demon God was attracted by Gu Xun and Xiao Li, and the final casualties were
Not too big.
As devout followers of the Nine Heavens Xuannv, the Loulan people did not complain at all about the misfortunes they suffered. Instead, they felt that the goddess had protected them again, and they were happy.
Of course, reconstruction work must be done in Zaile.
Everyone in Loulan did not despair about this huge project.
Loulan, who has regained the protection of the dragon soul, no longer has any pressure on the most basic survival resources. As for the reconstruction work... just do it slowly. Anyway, there are only so many people in Loulan, so just tossing and tossing is enough.
Stayed.
At this point, the matter of fighting the Demon God is completely over.
The remaining Qin army left Loulan early and returned to the empire.
The operation to seize the Demon God of War failed, so they naturally have no reason to continue to occupy Loulan - a huge place, still hanging alone in the depths of the desert, with a population of only 10,000 people, what's the use of occupying it?
If you don’t pack up and run away quickly, wouldn’t it be fun to continue blowing sand in the desert?
Gai Nie and his party stayed in Loulan for a while. After their injuries were almost recovered, they left Loulan.
………………
Outside Loulan City.
Each of Gai Nie's group led a camel, plus a few more simply used to carry supplies, which together constituted a mighty group of people.
The high priest of Loulan held his scepter and personally led the team to see him off. Next to her, there was also the little Xiu Xiu who had transformed into a small body.
"Mr. Gai, Miss Xue Nu, and little friends Tianming and Shaoyu, on behalf of Loulan, I would like to thank you very much for your help in times of crisis." The high priest smiled and bowed slightly to express his gratitude.
When Gai Nie, Xue Nu and Shao Yu saw this, they also returned the favor.
Tian Ming was the least polite, he just scratched his head, laughed and replied, "Hahaha, no need to thank you."
Gai Nie patted Tian Ming, then nodded to the high priest and said, "The high priest is too polite. We should not stay out of this matter, let alone help."
The high priest did not continue to be polite, pursed his lips and smiled, and finally said goodbye, "No matter what, you will always be Loulan's friends. I hope you can come over as a guest when you have time."
"If there is a chance, definitely." Gai Nie responded calmly.
Afterwards, a group of four people rode on camels and left this reborn desert city.
On the way, while the morning was blocking the sun in the sky, he muttered with great regret, "Oh, what a pity, we couldn't say goodbye to Xiaoli."
"I don't know where she went?"
"And Uncle Gu, he left in such a hurry, I didn't even say a word to him!"
Upon hearing Tianming's words, Gai Nie and the others had different expressions and inner reactions.
Gai Nie and Xue Nu had their own speculations about Xiao Li's inexplicable disappearance, and they didn't feel too sad.
After all, they are adults who have been around for a long time, and their temperaments are relatively stable. They have not had much contact with Xiao Li, and they are not close to each other.
As for Gu Xun's departure... Gai Nie didn't feel much at all. He just felt that with Gu Xun in the empire, the anti-Qin forces would probably feel uncomfortable.
As for the snow girl, she unconsciously recalled the situation a few days ago...
………a few days ago………
On the edge of a cliff in Loulan, Gu Xun sat on the edge of the cliff with a jug of wine, facing the bright moon in the sky, drinking alone.
The snow girl tried to walk as gently as possible and leaned over.
When Gu Xun heard the noise, he turned to look at Xue Nu, showed a smile, stretched out his hand and said, "Come, come and sit."
The snow girl would not refuse, so she gathered up her long skirt and sat down next to Gu Xun.
She turned to look at Gu Xun's profile and asked with a smile, "Are you in a bad mood?"
Gu Xun took a sip of wine, swallowed it with a rumbling sound, smacked his lips a few times, and after pondering for a while, he replied, "Yes, there is some."
"Is it...because of the child's departure?" Xue Nu turned her face back, accompanied Gu Xun to look at the huge full moon hanging in the sky, and asked softly.
"Tsk..." Gu Xun curled his lips and did not answer directly. He just pointed at the remains of the Jiutian Xuannv statue in the distance with only half of its legs left, and said, "I was quite happy that the Bing Demon God slapped it to pieces earlier.
."
"But now, I'm not very happy."
Gu Xun's eyes were full of complicated and difficult-to-understand emotions, and he explained with a hateful voice, "Because I want to personally tear it apart bit by bit!"
The snow girl chuckled and responded, "Heh, it seems you hate these gods."
Gu Xun raised his eyebrows and did not comment. He just asked, "Then what is your attitude?"
The snow girl lowered her head and smiled, and replied in a quiet voice, "Anyway, the gods have never saved me."
Hearing Xue Nu's tactful reply, Gu Xun couldn't help but smile and raised his hand to touch the other person's snowy hair, "Hey, it seems you are in a good mood now."
At this time, the snow girl turned to look at him, her pink lips opened and closed, and she said, "What about you, can you feel better?"
"Uh... Hahaha." Gu Xun was stunned for a moment, then laughed a few times, "Much better, much better. If the Snow Fairy, who is recognized as ice-cold in the world, could please enlighten me with a smile, I will definitely feel better."
p>
However, Xue Nu shook her head gently. She could feel that Gu Xun was only smiling on the surface, but was still depressed inside.
Xue Nu didn't know what happened before Gu Xun fainted, but combined with the self-blame on Gu Xun's expression and the disappearance of Xiao Li, she had some reasonable guesses.
"You have already saved many people, don't... think too much." Snow Girl enlightened again.
Gu Xun smiled and shook his head, "It's not a matter of saving or not, in short... don't worry, it's just a little pretentious occasionally, it will be normal in two days."
In fact, the question he thought about most after he woke up was whether he should insist on intervening in the matter of the Demon God.
Judging from the result, he failed to save Xiao Li after all.
There is no real difference between this and letting Xiao Li personally destroy the Demon God of War and then use up all his power to dissipate it.
More importantly, Xiao Li left with the attitude of completing his mission, at least he would not shed tears because of sadness.
Gu Xun didn't know why Xiao Li had such strong... feelings for him. He had always regarded this girl as a child... Maybe it was because she was just a 'newborn' who was only a few days old after all.
, your mind is too simple.
Regardless of the reason, the final result was a bit hard for Gu Xun to accept.
He could accept the separation, but he hated the loss from the bottom of his heart. His bad mood made him question his decision on the one hand, and on the other hand, he became more disgusted and even hated the gods.
Fortunately, Xiao Li's departure is not a complete loss, but I don't know when we will meet again, otherwise Gu Xun's mood at the moment would not only be bad.
He may be about to take some action to retaliate against society to vent his emotions.
