Ask Sword

Li Ang was silent for a moment, puzzled: "Can anyone survive in fifty years?"

"Yes. The people live in the few remaining fortified cities and the royal city, relying on strong walls and high fortifications to resist the invasion of vines. The few farmlands can still produce food, and the poultry and livestock polluted by demons are full of growths. Aberrant sarcoma grows as it is cut.”

The expression on Shan Chang's face was a bit strange, "It's just that people have become different.

Newborns have never seen clean drinking water and healthy animals. In their eyes, a "normal person" should have multiple arms, multiple legs, and even multiple heads.

Human beings with one head, two arms, and no scales, horns and carapaces on the remaining books and paintings are abnormal. "

"."

Li Ang narrowed his eyes, and Tai Haoshan named this phenomenon of collective dehumanization of the appearance of a group of people as distortion, or demonization.

When a demonization event occurs in a certain area, it proves that the land has been polluted by demons and needs to be burned immediately.

In the most radical era of Taihao Mountain, the court of justice would slaughter all the nearby villages because of one demonization in a certain area, and then set fire to them all, so as to prevent future troubles forever.

Because of this, when they found out that the barren people living in the barren mountains have never been deformed and demonized, and they will not be contagious to outsiders, they will be so shocked and have no choice but to claim that the barren people may be the only exception in the world.

The head of the mountain said slowly: "Once the large-scale demonization begins, it will be irreversible. On this point, the Academy and Taihao Mountain agree. If this situation were placed in the current state of Yu, the state of Yu would also use thunderous means solve."

Li Ang immediately discovered the key to this sentence, "What if?"

The head of the mountain said: "Even in such an environment, there are still fools doing pointless resistance.

All the books were soaked and rotted by moisture, and no one produced paper anymore, so they carved characters on the stone and engraved the classics of the Li Kingdom on the stone tablet;

Simple and simple newspapers are made from animal skins and tree bark, and the news is written on them, and delivered to every household;

Sneaking into the woods, avoiding poisonous insects and beasts all the way, and finally stealing honey, half-coaxing and half-coaxing those three-headed and six-armed children to sit in the classroom and learn to read. "

The head of the mountain paused, and calmly said: "If you were the first to discover Li Country, what would you do?"

gurgling.

The hot water in the teapot was boiling and was steaming against the lid.

The teacup in Li Ang's hand was no longer warm, and a few tea leaves were half suspended in the water.

".Students don't know."

He thought for a long time, and said truthfully, "The students just think that it is much better to do everything possible to be a human being than to be a cannibal who only has a human skin."

"Is it."

The head of the mountain did not approve or deny, and continued: "The monk who first discovered the Li country used his supernatural power to chop up the roots of trees buried thousands of meters underground, and killed the tree demon.

He brought the still alive Liguo people out of the dense forest and sent them to an island in the Endless Sea. "

"Then they are now"

"They're all dead."

The head of the mountain said indifferently: "Without the tree demon, the deformed body cannot continue. After two or three generations, the ethnic group will not be able to give birth to healthy newborns. The Li country has completely disappeared, leaving only a stone tablet recording their history on the island. .”

After finishing speaking, he took out a palm-sized baby skull from his sleeve and gently placed it on the table.

The inner side of the skull is full of dense bony spurs, and there is a long and narrow gap in the middle of the brow bone.

"."

Li Ang hesitated to speak.

"Not all stories have their meaning, and the tragedy that happened in Li Country is just a fragment in the long history since human beings.

The world is not benevolent, and treats everything as a straw dog. "

Shanzhang pressed his skull with one hand and looked up at the roof, as if he was going to stare at the eternal starry sky through the wood and stone.

clang clang clang——

Haotian bells resounded through the academy,

The head of the mountain came back to his senses, the indifferent expression on his face suddenly faded, and he said with a gentle smile: "Starting tomorrow, report to Dongjun Building. I will ask Ati to prepare the training ground for you."

Li Ang held the teacup with a confused look on his face, "Huh?"

The head of the mountain said in a relaxed tone: "Hasn't the Zhenfusi noticed you? In future wars, it is inevitable to fight with the monks of the enemy country. You have to learn to fight against enemies of the same level and even stronger opponents without using the silk thread in your body." .”

Last year, Zhou Guo and Jing Guo issued a call to action, claiming that Yu Guo condoned evil and sycophants, and the academy raised demons, provoked troubles provocatively, and created an atmosphere of war.

There is obviously Tai Haoshan's inspiration behind this.

Li Ang is very aware of his own situation, and he is also very clear that there are many people in Yu State who don't want to see the war coming - they are worried about losing their vested interests, and they are also afraid of Taihao Mountain, which has not really ended yet.

If the existence of Mosi is exposed, he will instantly become the target of public criticism.

"yes."

Li Ang suppressed his doubts and puzzled, put the teacup back on the coffee table, saluted, walked out of the study, and closed the wooden door from the outside.

Squeak.

The study room returned to silence, and the evening breeze raised the curtains, causing the light and shadow on the wall to change.

Shan Chang stretched out his scorched black right hand covered with scars from under the wide sleeve, gently picked up the baby's skull, and calmly looked at the dark eye sockets of the skull.

The evening wind blew into the house, blowing over the skull, making a faint whimpering wind, like a whisper.

————

In the next period of time, the entire academy and Yu country were mobilized.

Large quantities of building materials were shipped to the coast for the construction of breakwaters and city walls.

Shipyards work day and night, building ocean-going vessels capable of sailing into endless seas.

The villages closest to the sea were relocated to nearby towns to reduce the pressure of defense.

Doctors from Xuegong traveled to the East China Sea in a skyboat to observe the backland migration, and strive to delay or even eliminate the mutation. If there is really no way, the only way to start from the edge of the ocean is to hunt sea beasts to reduce the size of the herd.

boom!

The loud noise echoed in the quiet valley,

Li Ang flew upside down and hit a cliff heavily.

While smashing out the human-shaped pit, it also shook the entire cliff.

The cliffs peeled off in large swaths, and the stones kept falling, setting off smoke and dust. Li Ang coughed and released his thoughts, changed the falling trajectory of the boulder, and threw it forward.

call out--

A burly figure rushed towards him from the valley hundreds of meters away, trampling on the water as if he was walking on the ground, every time he punched, he could crush the flying stones.

Li Ang held his breath and focused his attention, spreading his thoughts to the limit, like a radar, radiating to the valley in front of him.

At the same time, let go of the palm of your right hand, allowing the Longyun spear to float in mid-air, the blade of the spear swayed slightly, always locking on the target's trajectory.

One hundred meters, fifty meters, twenty meters.

Li Ang suddenly clenched the palm of his left hand, and activated the talisman that had been buried in the ground before.

Burning Talisman, Water Dragon Talisman, Lightning Talisman, Extreme Cold Talisman.

All kinds of talismans were triggered at the same time, covering a fan-shaped area with a length of 20 meters.

Even steel couldn't pass through this fan-shaped space unharmed, but that figure did.

His body surface was lingering with vigorous blood flowing slowly. The flame that was strong enough to melt stubborn iron burned on the muscles and bones that had been tempered for thousands of years, leaving only a small scorched black mark.

The most important thing is his appearance.

His beard and hair were knotted, and his face was ferocious, resembling the generals of Zhen Guo, Duke Yan, and Yan Yundang when he was young.

boom!

At the moment when the figure came rushing forward and punched Li Ang's face,

The sand under his feet exploded again, and the violent impact created by the blasting talisman finally caused his steps to slightly deviate.

Li Ang seized this fleeting opportunity. With all his strength, he waved his palm and pushed forward, and the Dragonfall spear that he had accumulated for a long time burst out.

At such a short distance, it is not a good choice to aim at the head when fighting against martial arts experts - the distance that the neck can move is too large, enough for the warrior to make a backward movement to avoid the stabbing spear.

Therefore, what Li Ang aimed at was his spine.

Longyun's long spear whizzed and flew, and the phantom of the dragon's head that looked down on everything vaguely appeared on the blade of the spear.

Time seemed to slow down at this moment, and the warrior raised his left hand, trying to block the spear with all his might.

The tip of the spear pierced through the palm, driven by the entire palm, barely shifted an inch, and finally passed between the third rib and the fourth rib.

This is where the heart is.

A trace of relief flashed in Li Ang's eyes. Just as he spun his palm, ready to release his mind power, and completely tore apart the martial artist who looked exactly like Yan Yundang,

The warrior whose heart had been pierced tightly grasped Long Yun with his left hand to prevent the spear from moving. At the same time, he went one step further and punched Li Ang's right shoulder in an extremely reluctant posture.

Snapped!

The figure of the warrior exploded completely, turning into misty white smoke, and the entire valley with a quiet scenery also turned into a vast mist. It shrank back into a censer made of copper and shaped like a dragon.

The smoke dissipated, revealing the original appearance of an empty room with only four blank walls.

Li Ang stood alone in the middle of the room, unscathed, except for a chalk-like white fist mark on his right shoulder.

"It took half an hour to challenge the thirty-seven-year-old Yan Yundang,"

The puppet machine servant named Ati stood beside the exclusive trolley, took a pen to record, and said in a dull tone: "Failure."

On the trolley was the Suanni Incense Burner.

Li Ang stood on the spot and let out a long breath, released his mental power, picked up the Longyun spear that fell on the ground in front of him, dropped it back into his hand, and complained: "Didn't I penetrate his heart and break six ribs? Why did this happen?" Can you still act?

As far as I know, in the military exercises that Duke Yan practiced when he was young, there is no function of "continuing to move with broken heart and lungs". "

"Not really."

Ati said calmly: "However, the thirty-seven-year-old Yan Yundang, who is a consummate martial artist, is at the peak of mind, body, and skills.

In theory, it has the ability to adjust the position of organs through the contraction and relaxation of blood vessels, muscles, and tendons.

At the moment of the fight just now, he urgently controlled his heart and shifted it a few inches to his right, preventing Long Yun from completely destroying his heart and lungs.

Therefore, there is still a little strength, and he punches.

And the strength of that punch is just enough to break through your thought power defense, break your shoulder, and expose Mosi to the outside. "

".So much is just right, isn't it too far-fetched?"

Li Ang rubbed the center of his brows, and said with a headache, "Believe it or not, I'll ask Lord Yan right now, and let him estimate whether he has the ability to do what you said when he was young."

Ati is still unmoved, "Be lenient in anticipating the enemy, and strict in defending against the enemy. Every time you use the Suanni furnace, it will cost a lot of materials.

Therefore, every time you fight, you must achieve the ultimate and maximize the training effect.

This is what the head of the mountain meant. "

Seeing that the opponent moved out of the mountain, Li Ang had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender, "Okay, you are right. Give me a quarter of an hour to recover my energy, and let's do it again."

Unexpectedly, Ati shook his head, put down the pen and paper, and said in a dull tone: "Let's call it a day."

"Um?"

Li Ang frowned and asked, "Why?"

Ati said: "Today, there are still alienated objects in Dongjun Tower that have not been maintained. I have to go to work. Your breathing is also messed up, and you need to calm down."

"Fine."

Li Ang, who knew that he was indeed not in the best condition, nodded in agreement, and tore off a breeze talisman, letting the breeze blow over his body, quickly drying the sweat on his body.

He patted away the fist marks on his shoulders, and stepped towards the exit of the room. When he was about to leave the room, he couldn't help but glanced at Ati out of the corner of his eye.

Being able to say words full of individual will like "I'm going to work", no matter how you think about it, it doesn't look like a simple puppet machine servant.

Seeming to have noticed Li Ang's gaze, Ati raised his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Ang shook his head, "Nothing."

"oh."

Ati said indifferently: "Just now I noticed that the speed of Long Yu's spear is a little slower than before. Do you need to take it back here and test it again?"

"No. I'm leaving first. You should be busy."

Li Ang quickly shook his head again. The Dragonfall Spear inherited the size-changing ability obtained by penetrating the bronze box in the previous world line.

He didn't tell Xuegong about this matter, so it still needs to be kept secret, and Arti cannot be allowed to know.

He quickly walked out of the room and left Dongjun Building.

As the prince said back then, the Dongjun Building is indeed the treasure house of Yu State. There are countless good things.

The alienated object called Suanni Furnace is one of them.

This censer can record the information of the monk who touched it, and in the form of white smoke, it can summon a phantom with several success powers of the original monk.

General Yan Yundang of Zhenguo, Commander of Zhenfu Division Lin Hongbo, Fuxue Division Ye Tantai Leshan, the palace enshrines Shentuyu, and even Luli, who has a good relationship with the Xuegong and was invited to Dongjun Building to record messages Academy Luqingya.

Even, the phantoms of the school masters of the past dynasties can also be summoned.

Of course, Suanni furnace also has considerable limitations.

Every time you activate it, you have to input more spiritual power in advance. The maximum number of phantoms summoned is three, and the longest duration is a quarter of an hour. Xuying has no wisdom, and will only fight in the style of the original monk.

And once you leave that room, the phantom will disintegrate by itself.

Therefore, the biggest use of the suanni furnace is to train those monks who are the most promising in Yu country and who are about to break through the Zhuxiao realm.

Think about it too, if there are no taboos in the Suanni furnace, why not hide in the dark for a few years in the academy, summon the heroic spirits of the mountain leaders of the past, directly hit Taihao Mountain, and flatten the Taoist school.

Li Ang shook his head, got rid of distracting thoughts, and walked along the tree-lined path to the back mountain house, "I'm back."
