Chapter 106: Distressed City
After Zhou Bai made the plan, the entire Hangzhou Capital began to operate in an orderly manner, and a large number of dogs were caught and went to the horse farm outside the city.
The civilians have no objection, after all, there are demons involved.
It is because wild dogs are more difficult to catch, and in the end, they rely on Wen Meng's spiritual material that cannot resist animals to capture them completely.
Although the entire Hangzhou cannot be said to be completely omitted, most of the dogs have been concentrated in the horse farm.
After Dao Ren Hou set up the formation, there was no trouble.
After getting idle, Zhou Bai began to try the Taoist technique that he had suddenly realized from the One Qi Clear Method.
Although he was following the path of demons, but the method of cultivating immortality is too tempting, anyone would want to live forever and walk through the world with his fairy sword.
Of course, alien magical powers can essentially increase life span, but according to Taoist practices, the increase of life span by the former in the same realm is only half that of the latter.
If a real body like Zhou Bai is not unexpected, he can live for less than two hundred years, and he will have more than four hundred years of real soul. Of course, if he adopts the magical powers of a demon and masters the true body of a turtle, his life span will be higher than normal.
However, compared to the dangers of this road, the increase in life span is actually better than nothing, and most people in the Ming Diansi will not live to die.
So Zhou Bai practiced the Taoist sect technique and first tried it in the room, but he did not sense the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
I went to the yard to try it again, but there was no gain. There was only the yin energy and the demonic energy transformed from the moonlight nearby.
Zhou Bai could not sense the existence of spiritual energy, which may be because he did not have the talent to cultivate immortals, and the other possibility was that there was no spiritual energy around Hangdu.
For example, the original practices of Hou Daoren and Wen Meng, who practiced more, took the method of refining essence into qi, which was not the same as absorbing spiritual energy.
The lack of spiritual energy in the world should be the greatest possibility. Yin and Yang eyes can even see the dragon energy, so that the existence of spiritual energy will not be unaware of it.
Zhou Bai couldn't help but feel a pity when he had not achieved his immortal cultivation. It seemed that his dream of stepping on a flying sword in the future could only see when he would awaken a similar magical power.
He came to the horse farm outside the city and looked at the densely packed dogs in the fences huddled quietly, and the formation set up by Dao Ren Hou did have some effect.
At this time, Xiao Wu and Lin Chong came up, and Zhou Bai took the two of them to a pavilion next to the horse farm. In order to ensure that there was no accident, he and Daoren Hou took turns to guard the place.
After not seeing each other for a few days, Zhou Bai was also a little curious, wondering if they had gained anything.
"Mr. Zhou, do you want to report orally?"
"No, you should have a record, just leave it to me."
Xiao Wu took out a thick stack of paper, which was filled with words, and he handed it to Zhou Bai.
After Zhou Bai took it, he checked it on his own. He showed his ten abilities at a glance and read it over in just a few breaths.
Most of them are useless information, such as fighting, or revenge and murder in the world.
Several of them caught Zhou Bai's attention. The content on it seemed strange, but actually hid a lot of information.
"Xiao Wu, are you saying that the merchants in Hangzhou City have begun to repair them as if they had agreed recently?"
"Yes, I don't know if they have agreed with each other, but that's true."
Xiao Wu nodded and said, if it weren't for years of experience listening to rumors in teahouses, it would have been impossible to notice.
Lin Chong added: "However, many caravans came to Hangzhou Capital, but they chose to repair them at the same time. No caravan left the city, which was a bit strange."
"Let's go and take a look on the official road."
Zhou Bai thought about it and led the two of them towards the official road. The distance was not far, and he could stand on the slope and look down there.
They sat cross-legged on the hillside for a while and saw many people one after another.
As a famous city in Yangzhou, Hangzhou naturally attracted many caravan tourists, but after most of the hour, as Xiao Wu said, only Shangdu came in but did not leave.
Moreover, with Zhou Bai's further observation, he found that not to mention the caravan, there was not even a single person ten miles away from Hangzhou Capital.
There were also pedestrians walking outside, but when they reached a certain distance, they didn't know what they were thinking, so they turned around and returned to Hangdu City.
Zhou Bai knew that things were not simple, so he asked Xiao Wu to go to passers-by to ask why he turned around and returned to the city, and asked Lin Chong to find a gentle dog in the horse farm.
After a while, Xiao Wu came back, with confusion on his face: "Master Zhou, those passers-by said that they had something important to do outside the city and remembered that they had not finished their work, so they left back. I tried it myself, and it was indeed true. It seemed that I was a little resistant to leaving Hangdu."
"Formation? Or some weird influence..."
At this time, Lin Chong walked over with a yellow dog, and Zhou Bai simply took them to the edge of Hangzhou Capital.
Passers-by nearby looked at them in confusion, and they were talking nonsense.
First, he tried to let the yellow dog leave the range of ten miles in Hangzhou, but it turned out to be back after walking a few steps, and then said that he would not leave anything.
Lin Chong also tried it. He was a little further away than the yellow dog, but he soon suppressed his thoughts that were not in his heart and returned.
During this period, Zhou Bai carefully looked at the Yin and Yang eyes several times, but found no abnormalities.
But the strange things in front of you don’t seem like coincidences, there must be something strange about it.
He wrapped his whole body with his yin energy and demonic energy, tried to take a step forward, without any thoughts.
Then Zhou Bai took a few more steps, but it was still nothing special. Until he walked to the distance Xiao Wu had reached, a thought suddenly surged in his heart.
It is about the attachment of relatives, the upcoming crisis in Hangdu, or the temptation from Yin Yu.
These distracting thoughts directly made Zhou Bai's body pause. He then took a few steps forward, and his thoughts became even heavier, and he had reached a point where he could not bear it.
What makes Zhou Bai feel the most headache is that if he continues to move on, it is against his original intention, which may lead to flaws in his state of mind, which will affect the practice of the true soul.
It is very simple not to leave. As long as you look back, your thoughts will be immediately understood.
He retreated back to his original position, feeling a little surprised and confused.
Zhou Bai didn't know if it was a sign of Yin Yu's accident, but now it is certain that hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Hangzhou capital are trapped in the city.
There are still a steady stream of businessmen and wanderers coming to Hangzhou, and hundreds of people are waiting every day.
If the dog really appears that day, the casualties will be greater, so you must be more careful.
Now it's only less than ten days before the lunar eclipse, and I hope there won't be any accident.
