One hundred and eighty miles away from Changsha County, in the center of the Xiangjiang River, there is an island in the middle of the river. There are few people on the island, and maple trees are everywhere. At this time of year, the trees are full of color.
He Dong arranged the lightning rod and Faraday cage tailor-made for her by Lin Yi in the center of the island.
I don't know what the use of these two things is, so He Dong only arranges them. For the coming catastrophe, she can only do her best and obey fate.
She could feel that her catastrophe was approaching. From the moment she got the things, she felt the sense of oppression that arose spontaneously. That's why she stayed on the island and never went back.
This small island was the place she was specifically looking for to escape the tribulation. It was desolate and remote and surrounded by water, which suited her attributes perfectly.
There are no powerful creatures on the island, and it is convenient for her to set up formations on the outside to block people who might harass her during her tribulation.
After living for so many years, what stands out in He Dong's work is one word: stability.
Basically, she had done everything she could do, and now she sat in the Faraday cage with peace of mind, waiting for the catastrophe to come.
"It's just a pity that I have to break my promise this time."
He Dong whispered to himself that he had originally promised Lin Yi that he would be the protector when she was going through the calamity, but the calamity came unexpectedly. At this time, Lin Yi was in the governor's mansion again, and she couldn't get in, so she had to give up.
But this may be a good thing for Ji Yi. With his little cultivation, he doesn't have to take risks with her.
The sky above Jiangxin Island is already covered with clouds, and there is a slight roaring sound from time to time. A heavy rain is brewing.
The creatures under this sky instinctively felt uneasy. The wild animals on Jiangxin Island all ran towards the river in panic, while the swimming fish near Jiangxin Island were all swimming away from Jiangxin Island.
go.
Outside Jiangxin Island, there was a small boat parked three hundred meters away from Jiangxin Island.
There were only two people on the boat. One was an elegant scholar in green, who was Mr. Liu, the owner of Ghost Market. The other was dressed in black and wearing a mask, with only his mouth and chin exposed.
There was a small case in front of the two of them, with a teapot and a teacup on it. The water in the teacup was still steaming up.
"The thunderclouds here are dense and inexplicably oppressive. It is indeed a sign of heavenly calamity. My dear brother, with his clever calculations, actually understood the place where the ghost king will escape the calamity. It is really admirable."
Mr. Liu picked up the teacup, feeling a little more wary of the person in front of him.
Yes, this masked man was his sworn brother, but from beginning to end, he didn't know what this man looked like or where he came from. He only knew that his name was Wu De, and his cultivation level was not high, but he was very powerful.
The connections can always give him some important and valuable information.
It was precisely because of this that he became friends with Wu De and became brothers.
Of course, they are just superficial brothers.
The news this time was also told to him by Wu De. There is a thousand-year ghost king in Changsha County. This has basically spread among the big and small monks in Changsha County. Except for those who have been in seclusion all year round and do not care about worldly affairs, everyone knows about Changsha County.
With such a big boss.
Of course, the person who is most concerned about this is Mr. Liu, the local overlord.
If it were just an ordinary ghost king, he might not care too much, but a ghost king with a thousand years of cultivation would threaten his status.
Mr. Liu seems to have nothing to do with the world, but in fact, almost all of the underground world in Changsha County is under his control.
He has the final say whether there will be chaos in Changsha or not.
Most of the time, Changsha County is relatively stable and peaceful, which is more beneficial to Mr. Liu. However, recently, Changsha County has been a bit uneasy. Jingtian Sect and Baigui Sect have appeared one after another, which has also put Mr. Liu in crisis.
feel.
The root of everything comes from that ghost king.
At this time, his wise brother Wu De brought him good news.
He speculated on the possible place where the Ghost King would go to escape the tribulation. Mr. Liu didn't hesitate at all and immediately came with him.
A ghost king still has a thousand years of Taoism. This kind of ghost king will basically end up with the same end, being cold and cool.
But he can get benefits from it. When the ghost is almost wiped out by the catastrophe, he can absorb the essence left by the other party, which can at least be worth a hundred years of hard work.
Now that we have found the place to overcome the calamity, the matter is basically half done, but Mr. Liu is both happy and worried.
I am happy that I can gain something again, but I am worried about what Wu De is planning.
There will be no selfless dedication in this world, and even if there were, they would not be selfless to him, a monster. This person must have an agenda, but he never said it from the beginning to the end, he just paid silently. Until now, Mr. Liu finally felt
The pressure is on.
While he was praising Wu De, he was also secretly thinking, how about killing him directly?
They happened to be in the middle of the river, which ensured that no one around Wu De would follow and protect him. However, Wu De's own cultivation level was not high, so Mr. Liu was sure that he could deal with him.
As soon as the thoughts came together, they started to grow crazily in his heart. If Wu De's origins were not mysterious and he had always been slightly afraid, he might have taken action directly at this moment.
Wu De smiled slightly and said: "Big brother is ridiculous, but little brother is not a miraculous strategist. He just deduced something based on the existing clues."
"Oh, how did you deduce that the Ghost King is going to survive the tribulation?"
Mr. Liu looked very interested, but in fact he was just thinking about MMP. As the owner of the ghost market, he was particularly well-informed about Changsha County. There was basically nothing he didn’t know. Why didn’t he reason about it?
That’s outrageous!
Wu De said calmly: "Actually, I am also gambling. In recent months, the sales of jade talismans in the ghost market have increased a lot. Jade talismans are extremely precious and are usually used to set up formations. However, when it comes to setting up formations, gold talismans are more expensive than gold talismans."
The jade talisman is more useful, so why didn’t that person buy the gold talisman and choose the jade talisman?
Probably because the jade talisman is gentle in nature, it can also be used by ghosts."
"That's it?"
Mr. Liu still didn't believe it, and Wu De said with a smile: "Even the best fortune tellers can't exhaust all the things in this world. What's more, as a mortal, I can only rely on gambling for many things."
The truth is that this is true, but if you bet correctly every time, there will be a problem.
It's just that Mr. Liu doesn't want to go into details, so he can only make silent calculations or take action immediately.
Don't compete with smart people with wits, just compete with courage.
Wu De didn't seem to see Mr. Liu's murderous intention. He still looked at the place where the thunder gathered in the distance, and wrote lightly: "Brother has succeeded today, and his cultivation will be improved to a higher level. By then, I still have a big problem."
I want to give this opportunity to my eldest brother."
Mr. Liu: "..."
He silently put down his little hand that was preparing for a sneak attack, muttering to himself.
Is this person a money-splitting boy?
Given another opportunity, he is a little uneasy!
But before Wu De gave him benefits, he never mentioned the word opportunity, let alone a big opportunity. Just these three words made him want to hear it.
"What great opportunity is this?"
"There is an ancient tomb, which contains the secret of immortality. Are you interested in going there with me? When the time comes, I will only take one of the things, and the other things will belong to me. How about that?"
Only then did Mr. Liu understand that Wu De had made friends with him and everything he had done was probably just for this tomb.
What kind of treasure allowed him to plan for so long?
Mr. Liu smiled slightly and said: "Brother Xian, we have met. Since we are exploring together, we can distribute the proceeds according to needs. Big brother will not take advantage of you."
"Thank you, brother."
The two of them laughed and drank the tea from the cups at the same time, as if they were brothers and sisters, with their thoughts in mind that no outsider could tell.
It was also at this moment that thunder suddenly sounded in the distance. Mr. Liu and Wu De looked in the direction of Changsha City at the same time. They only heard the sound but no thunder.
"Is there someone out there trying to survive the tribulation in the city?"
Wu De was a little surprised, but Mr. Liu's expression changed drastically.
"It's not about overcoming the tribulation, it's about fighting with others."
One hundred and eighty miles away, he still felt those two breaths that made him shudder.
When did such powerful people appear in Changsha City? There were only two of them at once?
If these two fight, I'm afraid the entire city of Changsha will be razed to the ground!
His thoughts couldn't help but spread towards the direction of Changsha County, and Wu De suddenly let out a light sigh.
"What's wrong?"
Mr. Liu asked doubtfully.
"Someone is coming."
Following the direction of Wu De's finger, Mr. Liu looked over and saw a man paddling through the waves.
