Although the fluctuation of the turbid tide this time is still relatively short-lived, all Xuanzun in Tianxia can detect it. This fluctuation seems to be longer than the last time by just a moment.
This is not good news.
If the turbidity tide continues to change like this, then its duration is likely to be longer than the last time. In the later stage, it is likely to set off a turbidity tide similar to the previous one.
Fortunately, this turbid tide did not come at once, which gave them plenty of time to deal with it.
Although the foreign enemies are now eliminated, the enemy Zhuochao is always reminding them that Tianxia is far from being able to enjoy peace and stability.
In the Qingxuan Taoist Palace, Zhang Yuzheng was in retreat in the inner hall, while his divine avatar was acting as duty officer outside. This time the tide was different from the last time, and he had been prepared early.
After previous inspections, it can be said that the various garrison stations are the most solid and reliable places outside the continent. As soon as any abnormal movement occurs, Ping Jing is dispatched one after another.
Judging from the visions in various places, almost all the problems that occurred last time have reappeared this time. However, with the experience of dealing with them once, it will not be difficult to calm them down this time just by relying on the strength of each continent.
It can be seen that in the inner territory of the mainland, because the supernatural gods and monsters have been cleaned up over the past hundred years, there are still remnants, which are just minor problems. The places that have been hit harder this time are all in the border areas.
For example, outside the upper continent of Liangchuan, you can see overwhelming locust-like insects swarming over. They will not stop for ten days and ten nights. Wherever they pass, all life and vegetation will be wiped out, leaving only a piece of white land.
Under the protection of , it was easily resolved.
A similar situation occurs between Youyuan Shangzhou and Bingyun Shangzhou, where a divine kingdom was discovered.
These are the supernatural gods belonging to the previous calendar. They seemed to be solidified in the interlayer like amber. When the turbid tide came, they returned to the world. However, without the power of the upper layer, they were destroyed on the first day they were revealed.
Bingyun Yuxuan's clone directly suppressed it.
On the contrary, the situation of the four major prefectures is slightly better, because the four major prefectures have been expanding outwards in recent years, focusing on military expeditions. Relying on the convenience of the Xuntian Daozhang, many outposts are spread thousands of miles away.
There are many barriers inside, and everything is solved outside in advance.
The most noteworthy place for this situation is Jingqiu Shangzhou. Some patrolling soldiers discovered that a huge humanoid creature with a bloated body, a head and torso connected together, and pupils on the abdomen emerged from the vast woodland in the south.
, their number is tens of thousands, and if their forward route remains unchanged, then they are coming towards Jingqiu.
Moreover, these aliens are quite organized in their movement. At this speed, they will be able to reach Bingyun Continent in about fifteen days. Now, a layer of trench barriers has been built south of Jingqiu Shangzhou, and there are also Feizhou Xuanbing.
Waiting and preparing to eliminate it as far as possible outside the continent.
Zhang Yu is not worried about this. Although there are many supernatural beings currently appearing, their levels are not high. Xuan Shou can calm them down with his action. However, judging from this situation, more similar situations may occur in the next few months.
Moreover, it is hard to say whether the upper-level forces will appear. The Shouzheng Palace is responsible for destroying internal and external enemies. It may not be able to cope with it by then, but more manpower will be needed.
He thought for a while and called out: "Where is Fellow Taoist Zhou tomorrow?"
Ming Zhou Taoist appeared and asked, "What are the orders from the imperial minister?"
Zhang Yu entrusted him with a prepared letter and said, "I'd like to trouble you, fellow Taoist, to hand this over to Wu Ting."
He hoped to loan out more prisoners from the prison, especially those who performed well in the battle against Shang Chentian.
These people are determined to reduce their crimes. Instead of being trapped there, it is better to let them out. This matter will have to be discussed with Wu Tingzhi. This generation may not need it now, but preparations can be made in advance.
Ming Zhou Taoist received the letter, bowed to him, and then disappeared into a stream of light.
When the turbid tide caused changes in various places, deep in the East Courtyard, somewhere there was a tremor, and then a fire suddenly spewed out, and black smoke and dust spewed into the sky, blocking the skylight. In the past few summers,
Then it collapsed suddenly, and the scorching air waves and dust particles turned the surrounding dense forest into scorched earth.
A hundred miles away from the mouth of the fire, a piece of rock that had originally cracked with a long and narrow gap collapsed, revealing a larger gap.
And inside the mountain, two human-shaped pottery cabinets were standing against the rock wall, one on the left and the other on the right. One of them was empty, and the pottery cover on the surface was broken to the ground. At this moment, rocks fell rustlingly.
, fell on the pottery cabinet on the right, and cracks appeared on its surface.
The crack expanded and finally collapsed into rubble, revealing a young girl with a thin veil covering her body and a delicate and beautiful face.
She seemed to be sleeping there, but then she seemed to be disturbed, her long eyelashes like black moths trembled, and her eyes opened, revealing a pair of clear and innocent eyes.
She tried to move her hands and feet, and then walked out of the pottery cabinet. When she went outside, it could be seen that she was not tall, her arms were slender, and she looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old.
She raised her head and looked up. The top of the wall was painted with primitive people wearing short sleeves and short skirts. The scenes depicted were all doing daily work, and in the corners, there were broken pieces.
She walked over to the stone slab, squatted down and looked at it curiously for a while, then stood up again and looked at the light outside.
At this time, she saw a piece of clothing hanging on the stone wall that was similar to the one on the mural, so she took it off, put it on, and then walked out of the crack in the rock with curiosity.
Half a month later, a solid stone Dongtingfuzhou garrison stood in the dense forest. There were about ten garrison within a thousand miles, and this garrison was the largest, with 600 armored sergeants and five fighting ships.
, and more than ten monks are responsible for maintaining it.
Zhen Chuo stood in the lobby and looked at the map painted on the wall. Except for the circle where he was stationed, which was very clear, the rest of the map was still blank.
He was originally a monk in Shangchentian and a disciple of Yingchong. This time he was exiled to this remote place and was responsible for exploring this land.
At this time, he felt a violent vibration under his feet, and the entire station shook. He walked to the observation window sill protruding from the barrier and watched the fire flickering in the distance. This was the fifth time the crater had erupted in the past few days, and it has not stopped yet.
signs.
In the past few days, about a thousand natives had fled into the camp. They had to stop their exploration and collect these natives, preparing to send them to the continent later.
At this moment, in the camp that houses the natives, a female Taoist is walking here. This is Taoist monk Zhen Chuo, Zhao Rou, who was also exiled here.
Seeing her coming over, the natives knelt on the ground one by one, buried their heads deeply, and seemed to be muttering something in their mouths.
Although there was a trace of pity in Zhao Rou's eyes, she did not stop these actions.
The natives have always worshiped gods. In their eyes, Tianxia is a god. In fact, in the past in Shangchentian, the lower-class people were not much better than the natives in front of them.
However, among these natives, there is a small figure that stands out from the rest, still standing there.
She looked over and saw a girl dressed like an aborigine, looking at her with pure and clear eyes. She couldn't help but be a little surprised. This girl was so clean and completely different from other aborigines.
That does not refer to the cleanliness of the body, but the sense of purity revealed from the inside out, like a newborn baby that has not been contaminated by the slightest filth of the world.
She walked over, looked at the girl intently, and put her hand on the girl's forehead.
The girl seemed to know that she meant no harm and did not dodge at all, but there was more curiosity in her eyes, as if a child was looking at everything unknown.
After a long while, Zhao Rou took her palm away and said in surprise: "Tianxia people?" She could tell from the blood induction that this was not a native, but a Tianxia person, maybe with a little bit of mixed blood.
And how did the Tianxia people live outside? Could it be that they lived outside before?
She thought about it and realized that this was possible. She already knew what Dongting had encountered in the past through that famous scene.
She said in a gentle tone: "Can you understand what I say?"
The girl looked at her but said nothing.
Zhao Rou sighed softly, gently took the girl's wrist and said: "Follow me."
She brought the girl back to the inner hall of the station and ordered the servants to arrange food. Then she found Zhen Chuo and told Zhen Chuo about the girl's situation.
Zhen Chuo asked: "Is this woman's origin unknown?"
Zhao Rou said seriously: "Yes, we can investigate her origin slowly, but no matter what, she has the blood of Tianxia. We should not leave her with the natives. We should teach her to read and write."
Although it was a bit strange for such a Tianxia girl to live in the depths of a dense forest, she was also confident that with their skills, they didn't need to worry too much.
Zhen Chuo thought for a moment and said, "Take good care of her."
Zhao Rou hummed, knowing that Zhen Chuo would definitely support her as long as there were no fundamental issues involved.
After she came out, she named the girl "Yao Li". In the next few days, Yao Li gave her a lot of surprises. The latter quickly learned to read and write Tianxia script, and was able to communicate with those around her.
People engage in simple communication.
Thanks to this, Yao Li also acted as a bridge of communication between the natives and Tianxia sergeants, which accelerated the progress of recruiting the natives.
Zhao Rou couldn't help but praise in front of Zhen Chuo: "Brother, that is really a piece of jade."
Zhen Chuo said: "Junior sister wants to accept her as a disciple."
Zhao Rou nodded, she did intend to accept him as a disciple, but they were still waiting for sins and did not have this right.
Zhen Chuo said: "Well, Cui Shouzheng will come to the station in a few days. Let me talk to him about this matter and see if he can be accommodating. Also, Junior Sister Yao Li must understand Yao Li's origin.
