Chapter 998
The battle to confer the gods is still far away, but for the ancient war, the imminent battle between the lich and the lich has begun.
Going down to earth in ten days is not the real beginning, but it is the cause. In the eyes of Gu Zheng, this is the beginning. The war does not mean that a full-scale fight is the beginning. It has already begun from the initial spark.
"Wu You, go back immediately and call everyone from the An family and the four major families!"
"Yes, sir!"
Wu You and the others hurriedly clasped their fists and looked at Gu Zheng with some worry. They had never seen Gu Zheng look so serious.
"Huang, Huanglong, you have just transformed into a dragon and need stability. Please go back to your original place for the time being. I will find you!"
Gu Zheng said something to the eel demon again. The eel demon is no longer an eel, so Gu Zheng also changed its name and called it Huanglong.
"Yes, sir!"
The eel demon also hugged its paws and responded. It didn't know why there were ten suns in the sky, but its intuition was very accurate, and it had a vague premonition, just like when it first saw Gu Zheng, it thought this child was special.
After the eel demon left, Gu Zheng looked at the sky, sighed heavily, and flew towards Fucheng.
Gu Zheng arrived in Fucheng first. Wu You and the others did not go back to the Wu Mansion after they arrived. They went directly to the An family and the four families. After a while, An Pin and the heads of the four families arrived. Gu Zheng transformed into his original appearance and sat upright. On the main seat of the living room.
"Great Immortal!"
An Pin and the four masters clasped their fists together, while Gu Zheng stood up and motioned for them to sit down.
"My name is Tie, you can call me Immortal Tie. You have all seen the ten suns in the sky. I won't hide it from you. This is the beginning of a great disaster!"
Gu Zheng raised his finger and pointed at it, and spoke slowly. The eyes of Anpin and the four major families were widened, and they all showed fear. An immortal said that this was a big disaster, so they would definitely not be able to escape.
"Master Tiexian, what kind of catastrophe is this?"
An Pin plucked up the courage and asked first. The four masters were all watching Gu Zheng, and they were also concerned about this issue.
"A war between two big races will affect the entire prehistoric world. The prehistoric world is where we live. It is very, very big. But even if it is so big, this war will affect many people. I don't guarantee that we will It will not be affected, so you must be prepared from now on!”
Gu Zheng shook his head gently. The battle between the lich and the witches was very understandable. The two races could almost be said to have perished together, so that there were not many regular big demons in the future. As for the witch tribe, they were driven out of the prehistoric era.
The demon gods in the demon world are actually part of Hou Yi from the Wu clan.
"What preparations should we make?"
An Pin asked again. Gu Zheng walked to the door and looked at the sky. The ten suns in the sky had disappeared. It was also time for the sun to set, and the sky suddenly darkened.
Disappearance does not mean that it will not appear in the future. During the day tomorrow, there will still be these ten suns in the sky. Then the rivers will dry up and the people will have no way to live.
"Relocate the whole city!"
Standing there, Gu Zheng turned his back to An Pin and the people of the four families, and slowly said a few words.
"Relocate the whole city!"
An Pin and the four families screamed together. There were more than 300,000 people in the city. It was such a huge project to move all these people away. Besides, many people had lived here all their lives. Let them Left without knowing what to do at all.
"right!"
Gu Zheng nodded again. Relocating the city may not necessarily avoid this disaster, but if we don't move, the people in the city may not survive.
It's not because of the Lich War, but the prelude before the war.
Ten suns are always in the sky. There is a severe drought in the world. Water sources are exhausted. Countless people die of thirst and starvation. This is the origin. The Wu tribe is large, so they eat and drink more. Ordinary people die more. Although the human race is small Some people don't eat and drink as much as the Wu tribe, but the more concentrated they are, the greater the human race's losses will be.
Some small villages are okay, with water sources around them. When the water dries up, there are still wells. When the wells dry up, you can still find some ways to find some groundwater or live branches, but this is not possible in places with concentrated populations.
For example, in Fucheng, what we eat now is well water. The wells themselves are shallow wells. Even deep wells cannot support the consumption of so many people. When a severe drought comes, the city will inevitably lose water.
People outside the city and in the village have other ways to find water sources, but it is much more difficult for people in the city to find water sources. Moreover, with so many people, ordinary water sources are simply not enough. In this way, 300,000 people will eventually be left. There won't be many people down there at all.
Fortunately, there were still few cities in this era. If there were mortal kingdoms and towns everywhere like in later generations, and if a severe drought of this scale occurred, even the saints would have to take action to stop it.
Although Gu Zheng's new battlefield was much tougher, he had lived in this Fucheng for several years after all. He could not sit back and watch all the people in Fucheng die of thirst and starvation, so he gathered these families together and asked them to move across the city. Relocate to avoid this disaster.
"May I ask Lord Tiexian, where should we move?"
Another family head asked tremblingly. He was a little older and was the oldest among several family heads.
"I have chosen a place. It is not far from Fucheng, only a hundred miles away. There is a river there, a river that will not dry up. Even if it dries up, we can still get water!"
Gu Zheng said softly. He was talking about the underground river where the eel monster had lived in seclusion before. He had been there and knew that it was deep and large. Even if the riverbed on the surface of the river dried up, the underground water would still be there to ensure the water source.
As for food, there are still reserves in the city. Let's make some more preparations now. When we get there, we will find a way to harvest some. Gu Zheng will let Wu You and his team lead the team to collect various food resources to ensure the rations for the survival of the whole city.
"Hundred miles, it's not far, can't we not move, just let some people go first?"
An Pin said again, a hundred miles away, even if ordinary people walk, it will take two days to reach, so this distance is not far. Hearing that it is such a place, An Pin felt relieved a lot.
"No, everyone must move there, and those who don't want to move there are fine. Those who stay in the city will bear the consequences themselves!"
Gu Zheng shook his head again. If they move out, there is a glimmer of hope. If they don't move out, they will definitely be doomed. In fact, moving to the riverside is just to save most people first and let everyone survive first. With more than 300,000 people, Gu Zheng has no confidence that he can keep them all.
There is water, but food is still lacking. Although there is water over there, it is impossible to farm under ten suns, and the natural world will be greatly damaged. Of the 300,000 people, 200,000 will be left in the end, which is actually very good.
This is just the first step. The next step is the war between the witches and the liches. Gu Zheng can only pray for this war, hoping that it will not affect this side, so that these ordinary people can live in peace and stability.
"I understand, Lord Tiexian, I will issue a notice immediately, let the whole city prepare and move!"
An Pin is a man of courage. In fact, moving the whole city has the greatest impact on his An family. This city is their An family. Moving out is equivalent to giving up the city.
He can make such a decision so quickly that even Gu Zheng looks at him differently.
"What, everyone has to move out, why?"
"What catastrophe, those ten suns?"
"I won't move, you move if you want to!"
The next day, the city quickly became a mess, and there were still ten suns in the sky. Many people were reluctant to go out, but the news of the city's relocation still reached many people's ears. Some people came out and talked loudly.
On the inner city wall, An Pin stood there and explained loudly despite the hot weather.
"There are ten suns in the sky, and the immortal said that these ten suns will not disappear in one or two days, but may even last for several years. For such a long time, the sky is so hot, how can the land bear it? The wells in our city will dry up, and there will be no food or water. If so many of us stay in the city, we will die!"
"The immortal in our city, that is, Lord Tiexian, has compassion for everyone and has found a suitable place for everyone to move to, where we don't have to worry about water. Staying in the city is just waiting to die. Only by moving out can we survive!"
An Pin explained painstakingly, and some people listened to it, but some people still insisted on opposing it.
No matter how the city reacted, the relocation of the whole city was finally decided. After seven days, the relocation began.
At the city gate, many people were carrying packages and gifts, and some were pushing carts, and some were rich people sitting in carriages. They slowly walked out of the city gate and headed for the distance.
In seven days, ten suns were still in the sky. Some people had already discovered that the well water in the city had dropped a lot. They began to believe what the city lord Anpin said and agreed to move.
But even so, there were still 50,000 people in the city who were unwilling to leave. They even said that if you all left, there would be no so many people drinking water in the city, and everything would be fine. Gu Zheng did not force these people. Those who did not want to leave could stay, and those who were willing to leave could follow him. Anyway, there was not enough food at present, and it was not known whether so many people could be fed and persist until Houyi shot the sun.
Three days later, the first people to leave the city arrived at the riverside, the place chosen by Gu Zheng.
The day after Gu Zheng ordered them, the An family and the four major families had sent people here to build houses and prepare for relocation. Although the houses were not built yet, the simplest sheds were already there, so the people of the An family and the four major families, as well as the people of the Wu Mansion, would not have to sleep outdoors.
It took more than 200,000 people three days to arrive.
There were too many people, so they walked slowly. So many people gathered by the river, and there were people along the river for more than ten miles. The people of the An family and the four families immediately became busy, helping the people who had established the village to build houses so that they could have a place to live.
At the same time, Wu You and Ma Duo led the team to form dozens of hunting teams, and began to hunt everywhere and store food.
Aunt Cui and her friends were not idle either, and they organized people to open fields along the river. Now there is still water in the river. Although it is hot, there is still some output with water sources, otherwise they can only eat up all the land.
For three full months, there was no rain in the sky, and ten suns still came out every day. The river water was half dry. A river that was originally quite large has now become a small river.
A month ago, people who originally stayed in the city began to come one after another. The wells in the city were completely dry. The smart ones knew that if they came early, they could still have a way to survive, while the stubborn ones continued to wait in the city.
If the day really comes when there is no water, they will not be able to move at all. Without water, they will not be able to walk the hundred miles to this big river. Now the small rivers and wells are all dry, and only the big river has water. The river chosen by Gu Zheng is not only big, but also has a huge amount of groundwater, so it can last longer.
For three consecutive months, people who have moved out have understood that Tie Xian is really doing it for their own good. If they don't move out, so many people in the city will probably have to cut off their water supply in a month. If they prepare to move out at that time, more than half of them will die. People can't get out at all.
"More than 30,000 people in the city failed to come out in the end and became mummies!"
Wu You stood in front of Gu Zheng's door and reported in a low voice that three months had passed and half a year had passed since the Ten Days Uprising. Gu Zheng had been practicing since he came to the river, not caring about any secular things, and at the same time letting Wu You ordered the hunting team to collect suitable raw materials when they encountered them.
But this is not the city after all, and the hunting team is having a hard time now, and they haven't collected enough resources yet.
"I understand, go back!"
For half a year, Wu You and Ma Duo have been busy, which has also delayed their cultivation. Wu You has not broken through to the third level so far, and Ma Duo has always been at the early stage of the third level.
Now many people in the city can't live without them, and it's impossible for them to have any leisure time.
"This is merit, do it well!"
When Wu You turned around, Gu Zheng suddenly said something again. Wu You shuddered slightly, turned around and bowed to salute, and then left.
"Taotie, where are you!"
Gu Zheng in the room suddenly sighed. He never gave up the contact in the city, and asked Wu You and the others to return from time to time. Now Xiao Bailong has allowed Wu You and Ma Duo to ride, and they can use it. Xianli helped Xiao Bailong groom his body.
Only the little white dragon can travel back and forth between Dahe and Fucheng in one day. The other horses can't do it now. It's too hot and they can't hold on.
Tao has not come back since he left. It has been more than two years. Gu Zheng has no idea where he is or how he is now. Also, can Tao protect himself and survive the upcoming Lich War? this crisis.
Because there is no news about Tao in later generations, Gu Zheng is even worried about whether he never came back after leaving this time, so there is no news about Tao in later generations. Gu Zheng will take out his birth and death book from time to time to check , every time I see Tao is still alive, I feel relieved.
After another half a year, their big river finally dried up, but not completely. There was always a pool bubbling water at the bottom of the river, which was connected to the underground water.
The existence of this pool has saved the lives of everyone along the river.
Huanglong has always been underwater, watching over the people along the coast. It knows that Gu Zheng is also there. In the past year, if there are children alive and others slip and fall into the water, it will quietly save them and bring them to justice.
Since it has successfully transformed into a dragon and can do these things remotely, the legend of the dragon god has not appeared anymore, but everyone says that it is blessed by the Immortal Tie, so it can turn misfortune into good luck. Everything it does is famous in ancient times. When Gu Zheng found out about the dispute, he couldn't laugh or cry.
Over the past year, Gu Zheng's cultivation has improved a bit, but he is still in the middle stage of returning to void. However, he has reached his peak state in the middle stage and may break through to the late stage at any time.
Ma Duo finally reached the middle stage of the third level of Neijin, Wu You also broke through to the third level, and Android. By the late stage of the first level, only Aunt Cui had not changed, but she was about to break through to the third level.
Several of them are strong men, masters, and Androids. They are now like young men of twelve or thirteen years old, and they are very powerful. Normally, few people can rely on him. They are also regarded as disciples of immortals. It has a high status by the river.
"Master, Master, look, the sun has disappeared, there is not so much sun anymore!"
Gu Zheng was practicing that day. Ma Duo suddenly ran over and woke Gu Zheng up excitedly. Gu Zheng came out and looked at the sky. Sure enough, the sun was gone, and the weather was rarely cool.
"Kuafu should take action, but it's a pity that he is no match for Jinwu!"
Gu Zheng sighed, returned to the room, closed his eyes and practiced. The ten suns only disappeared temporarily, not permanently. Now they should be fighting Kuafu until Kuafu died.
Sure enough, three days later, the tenth day appeared in the sky again, making everyone who had been happy for three days suddenly wilt.
Kuafu is dead, and the Shijinwu are in their excitement. They are not willing to go back at all now, and the Yao clan does not pay attention to this matter at all. They have no idea that the Shijinwu is close to death. Although they are not weak in strength, But Hou Yi's sun-shooting bow was their nemesis, and they were all shot by Hou Yi in the end.
No one else knows about all this, only Gu Zheng understands it very well, so he gets tighter and tighter.
After coming out on the 10th, people on the river have less and less food every day. The daily rations have been strictly controlled, and the water pool has disappeared now, but water will automatically spray up every day, enough for people on the bank to drink.
Just drinking, taking a bath, etc. are no longer possible.
This water was brought up by Huanglong. It will share some of the merits of protecting everyone in the city. However, these merits are completely incomparable to Nuwa's merits of mending the sky. That is the merit of rescuing the entire prehistoric world. No one can compare with it. Not on.
Therefore, in later generations, only Nuwa became a saint through meritorious deeds, and there was never another one.
After the sun disappeared, Gu Zheng practiced even harder, and finally found a food cultivation. With the help of this food cultivation, Bone Needle's cultivation finally broke through the late stage of returning to the void, and reached the late stage. There is only one layer between immortals.
This level is not so easy to break through. Even if Gu Zheng knows that his cultivation qualifications are relatively good, without various elixirs and food cultivation assistance, it will take at least several years of preparation to break through. This is still for now and will be left to future generations. Prehistoric times will take longer.
The immortal power of the prehistoric world at this time was more abundant, much better than in later times, so more flowers, plants and animals could become spirits because of the abundant immortal power.
