043. Nether City

This matter always makes people feel that there is something strange that cannot be understood. Emperor Xuanyuan claimed to be in seclusion and did not show up at all. Because he had said before, he would not give the Xi soil divine pearl to anyone to take out of Kunlun Immortal World. But the thing was stolen.

, it can’t be regarded as Emperor Xuanyuan breaking his promise, right?

Since there is a retreat, there is a day to come out. As long as Chong Bogun puts the Emperor Xuan Pearl back before Emperor Xuanyuan "comes out", Emperor Xuanyuan can pretend that he has not seen it. By the time he wants to understand this, Huwa has already returned.

In the human world, the place where he came to the lower world this time was the Western Wasteland of Bayuan, not far from the village of the Shenmu clan, which was where Taiyi's original body took root.

The lower realm of the Immortal Family can theoretically appear anywhere, but the prerequisite is that it must be a place that he has set foot in when he was in the human world. The flood comes from the Western Wasteland Plateau, and the place closest to the source of the flood is where Huwa has set foot in when he was in the human world.

Here, he will first meet up with Chong Bogun, and then go to Shaowu.

Huwa came to the human world, sensed Chong Bo Gun's position, turned around and flew south. Chong Bo Gun took the Xili Divine Bead from the sacred soil of the Emperor's Village to the lower realm, and directly arrived at the outskirts of a certain city. Huwa immediately

Come and join us. And the name of this city outline is exactly called Lower Boundary City. What a coincidence!

The so-called Lower Boundary City, of course, does not originally refer to the lower boundary of the Immortal Family. It is located at the foot of the Western Boundary Mountain, to be precise in the south of the westernmost end of the Western Boundary Mountain. This is the jurisdiction of the original Zhengshi Kingdom, and is also the largest part of the current Ba Kingdom.

The west city outline is adjacent to the Western Wasteland. Where there is a lower boundary city, there is an upper boundary city, and the upper boundary city is within the Yuan Xiangshi Kingdom, on the other side of the West boundary mountain, where the terrain is higher.

The river flows down from the Xihuang Plateau. There have been countless floods since ancient times. The area entering Bayuan forms an alluvial plain at the foot of the Xihuang mountains. It is a large amount of sediment carried by the floods since ancient times.

The land is fertile and suitable for farming. The former Zheng Shi Kingdom built two new city outlines here, which were also gradually developed from villages and market towns.

Xiajie City is located between the West Boundary Mountain and the river, facing Duanjiang City across the river. This area has often been flooded since ancient times, so the sites of the city walls and villages are relatively high, and Duanjiang City has even been built there.

Some flood control dykes.

According to Emperor Taihao's deduction, if this huge flood poured down directly, it would not only completely submerge the two city walls, but also destroy all the buildings. Not even the city walls would be left, let alone the villages and countryside.

If the people cannot be transferred in time, no one in these two city walls built on the alluvial plain will survive.

Chong Bo Gun sat in the clouds with his eyes slightly closed. No one on the ground could notice his presence except Hu Wa. Hu Wa did not need to ask, he just saw Chong Bo Gun's appearance and spirit and understood what was going on. This

The immortal family is seizing the time to initially refine the breath soil divine bead, temporarily leaving the imprint of their own soul on this artifact for activation.

If no one stopped him, the flood would have poured into Ba Yuan Dang. Eleven days had passed half a month after the ground cracked in the West Sea. Chong Bogun left Bingchi and Dingchi behind to drive the chariot to block the water in the middle of the West Sea.

They were trapped in the gap, and promised that as long as they persisted for ten days, they would be released in advance. Bingchi and Dingchi had already done this, and they were still stuck there to this day.

The reason why the two demonic dragons were able to persist for such a long time was, on the one hand, out of respect and gratitude to Chong Bo Gun, and on the other hand, because the water level of the high lake in the West Sea was gradually declining, and the impact of the tides in the mountains was no longer as strong as it was originally.

Strong. This also means that the floodwaters poured into the low lakes in the West Sea, spread to the low-lying areas of the Western Wasteland Plateau, and poured down the rivers.

Chongbo Gun ordered the two dragons to hold on for at least ten days, but it could not delay the arrival of the flood peak in Bayuan for ten days, because the Yunchaan could not completely block the crack in the ground, and it would only delay it for three or four days at most. Lower Boundary City and Duanjiang City

People in both places now have about seven or eight days left to move.

Looking from the clouds, many people on both sides of the river are still staying in their villages, but they don't seem to be unprepared. Many people have packed their valuables and seem to be ready to go out at any time.

But why haven't they left yet? Huwa activated his ear power and heard many people's conversations, and then he finally understood what was going on.

Lu Zhong flew along the river from the Western Wasteland Plateau, notifying various places along the way that he had been here. Lu Zhong's cultivation level was not as good as Chong Bogun's, and he had just suffered a severe injury, so it was impossible for him to "personally" supervise him by dividing his body and spirit along the way.

People from all over the country quickly organized relocation. Besides, no one here knew him, or even heard of him.

So he just warned people along the way, letting the people hear the sound coming from the air, reminding them that the flood was coming, and they should move to higher ground quickly. Lu Zhong did his job conscientiously, and people in different places heard different sounds. For example, in Lower City

In this area, Lu Zhong told the people to move to the Western Boundary Mountains and told them at least how high they had to flee.

The sound coming from the sky startled the people and caused a panic. Lu finally sent a simple spiritual message to the city lord of Lower Realm City alone, explaining more about the situation and that the people must be quickly organized to move. Duanjiang City

The situation was similar, and there were so many places downstream that Lu Zhong couldn't just delay here and then fly away along the river.

When Lu Zhong was notifying various places along the river, he should have taken a detour along the way and went to Batu to find the young minister. After all, the migration of people from various parts of Ba country still had to be organized and implemented by Ba Jun. Such a huge disaster,

Getting people to move to higher places in time is just the beginning, there are more and more complex follow-up tasks waiting.

Less than a century after the city walls were first established, Xiajie City and Duanjiang City, located at the westernmost end of Bayuan, are too remote and inconspicuous. Even if the minister has issued a decree to all parts of the country, it has not yet reached here, and the flood will definitely

Fortunately, Chong Bogun and Huwa arrived before the flood.

The city lord of Lower Boundary City was notified by Lu Zhong’s spiritual thoughts, and he couldn’t figure out what was going on. After all, he was an official of the Ba Kingdom. It was a normal reaction. He immediately sent someone to report the matter to Ba Jun and ask the monarch for instructions.

.But when the envoy from the city wall sees Ba Jun and comes back, I'm afraid it will be half a year later, and it will be too late.

The city lord of Lower Realm City is not stupid. Although he doesn't know who Lu Zhong is, he also knows that this should be a reminder from an expert in the world. He would rather believe it or not, so he immediately sent city officials to inform the villages and villages within his jurisdiction.

People from all tribes moved to higher places. The voice informed them that the flood would arrive in ten days. If the flood really came in ten days, they would have escaped disaster.

However, in reality, the efficiency of executing government orders must also be taken into consideration, and it is not just traffic conditions that limit efficiency. Under normal circumstances, it would probably take more than half of the time for officials from the city wall to notify every village and tribe within the territory.

month's time.

Moreover, the legs are on everyone's body. If the people in various places are doubtful and refuse to move immediately, it is impossible for the city lord to send people to escort all the people in the territory under his jurisdiction up the mountain.

The city lord obviously did not deal with the situation according to the normal situation. He sent out almost all the officials he could send, and even the city patrol army formations were dispersed. He ordered that everyone within the jurisdiction of the city should be notified within seven days and executed.

According to the city lord's order, try to move to a higher place as soon as possible.

The city lord was very efficient in issuing political orders, with almost no delay. Within seven days, all villages and tribes received the city lord's order.

In fact, everyone heard the sound coming from the sky, which caused panic and chaos in the countryside. Many people were at a loss. Migration of a whole family is a big event. Unplanned and unorganized self-migration in such a large area will only result in...

It was a chaos. The city lord issued orders to various places in time to sort out this unorganized chaos, which was of great significance.

However, the efficiency of people in various places in executing orders was not that high. On the surface, no one directly disobeyed the city lord's orders, but every village was delayed, and there were even many complaints among the people.

Following the warning of the wise man, the city lord wanted to move all the people in the city to high places in the western boundary mountains. This meant that many people had to walk a long way, and it also meant that everyone had to give up temporarily.

own home.

There are so many pots and jars at home, how can we put them away at once? The wheat in the field is not ripe yet, and we should dig out more of the potatoes we planted earlier. More importantly, the Lower City is right on the bank of the river.

, who among the people here has never seen a flood? Especially many elders, who have seen what they considered to be overwhelming floods more than once, and have already experienced this.

The experience and common sense accumulated by generations of people are valuable, but sometimes stubborn prejudices can also be fatal. Due to frequent flooding, the villages in this area are located at relatively high altitudes, and in many places, no matter how big the floods have been for hundreds of years, there has been no

Have been threatened.

If it were just an order from the city lord, many people would not think that there was anything wrong with their family. Instead, they would think that the newly appointed young city lord was too cautious and meddlesome. Fortunately, there was a warning from the voice in the sky first. In panic, people

I am willing to make more preparations, but the so-called preparations are also very slow, especially for some large tribes.

Some village people were indeed immediately ordered to move to higher places in the Western Boundary Mountains, but more village people were unwilling to go that far. They preferred to find higher places nearby, such as moving many valuables to the place closest to the village.

On the hill, other supplies at home have been packed up, but many people are still staying in the village.

Because the flood has not come yet, and their village is on a higher ground, there is no need to worry if the flood does not reach it. If the flood does come up from the river, it will take a long time, and then we can go up the mountain.

Just run, this is the experience accumulated over the years.

But the people here don't know that this flood is unprecedented. When the huge waves come, the seemingly high mountains near the village will be swept directly by the waves. When they see the water and try to move away, there is no place to run.

, unless they can fly.

So what Huwa saw in the cloud was this scene: some people were already on the way to move, some complained while walking, and even questioned whether the city lord's order was necessary? Some tribal leaders ordered people to move all their valuables.

In the mountains near the village, there are still people who have packed their things and are waiting at home, convinced that they will be fine even if there is a flood.

Huwa frowned, and Chong Bogun, who was sitting still, suddenly sent out a spiritual thought. Chong Bogun drew a line within the jurisdiction of the two city walls below and told Huwa that within seven days, this

All the people west of the line must be relocated. As for what to do, Huwa can only think of a way. Chong Bogun, who is worshiping the Xi soil divine pearl, has no time to spare.

Huwa sighed, divided his form and spirit and flew towards the two city walls...

Huwa changed his previous low-key behavior and appeared directly in the air and shouted: "Where is the Lord of the Lower City? Peng Keng, the tenth noble of the Ba Kingdom, is here with the Zhenguo Divine Sword. Come quickly to greet me!"

"

He shouted this sentence in the sky in front of the city lord's palace, but all the people within the city's jurisdiction heard it. Surrounded by a few personal guards, a man rushed out of the city lord's palace, knelt down and worshiped in the sky: "Peng Keng

Master Shi, is it you? It’s really you! A Tu, a disciple of Baguo Academy and the lord of Lower Realm City, pays his respects to Lord Fengxian!"

This title is a bit confusing. Huwa is now the king of the Immortal Kingdom, but his title and title in the Ba Kingdom have neither been canceled nor taken back. Therefore, he still has the identity of Peng Keng and can act in the Ba Kingdom.

He calls himself Peng Keng. The Zhenguo Divine Sword has been returned to Wu Fu in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, but Wu Fu gave it back to him. There is no need to explain this clearly to ordinary people.

Hearing the words of the city lord, Huwa was slightly startled and said: "Are you Atu?"

The Lord City Lord kowtowed and replied: "Yes, I am Ah Tu. I was appointed by Ba Jun as the Lord of the Lower City a year ago. I was the second general of the Academy Guards back then, and now I am also the military advisor of the Lower City."

Unexpectedly, this city lord is actually an acquaintance. When Huwa was studying for the Ba Kingdom and rectifying the academy, he punished the unscrupulous disciples in the academy, Geng Liang, who was born in the clan of the Ba Kingdom. And Geng Liang’s school boy Atu,

However, he was appreciated by Huwa and became an official disciple of the academy.

The Academy is a place to cultivate talents for the country. Once the talents are cultivated, they must be appointed. With Atu's age and qualifications, it seems that he is not qualified to be the leader of a city, but because he has been praised by Huwa, Shaowu considers him

He paid special attention to it. The city lord of the big city in the hinterland of Bayuan could not appoint him directly, so he was sent to the remote lower city to be the city lord.

A Tu came to such a remote city to be the city lord. He was also afraid that he was too young and had insufficient foundation to control the situation, so he specially recommended another city strategist, the former Academy Guards General.

Building 2.

General Erdong is also an acquaintance of Huwa. He once held the Divine Sword of Zhenguo on Huwa's orders and beheaded Geng Liang on the spot in front of the palace gate.

He is not lower than the military division of the city, but in the capital he is only responsible for guarding the gate of the academy and can only command ten guards. When he becomes the military division of the city, the situation is completely different.

Huwa asked again: "Where is General Erdong?"

Atu replied: "General Erdong led a small group of sergeants to escort Master Cangshi to transport the grain stored in the warehouse outside the city to the mountains on the west boundary, and opened a temporary camp. I can't come to greet you... Sir Peng Keng, what do you think?

Is it also because of the flood? Were the experts who issued warnings in the air also sent by you?" (To be continued.)
