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 little weird, “It’s just that people have become different.
Newborns have never seen clean drinking water and healthy animals. In their eyes, "normal people" should have multiple arms, multiple legs, and even multiple heads.
The 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, 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 Mount Taihao, the Court of Justice would slaughter all the nearby villages because of the demonization of 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 is placed in the current state of Yu, the state of Yu will also use thunderous means solve."
Li Ang immediately discovered the key to this sentence, "What if?"
Shan Chang said: "Even in that environment, there are still fools who are doing pointless resistance.
All the books are soaked and rotted by moisture, and no one produces paper anymore, so let’s carve characters on the stone and engrave the classics of the Li Kingdom on the stone tablet;
Using animal skins and bark to make simple and simple newspapers, write news on them, and send them to every household;
Sneak into the woods, avoid poisonous insects and beasts all the way, and finally steal honey, and half-coaxed and half-coaxed children with three heads and six arms to sit in the classroom and learn to read. "
Shan Chang paused for a moment, and said calmly: "If you were the first to discover Li Country, what would you do?"
gurgling.
The hot water in the teapot is boiling and steaming, bumping 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 with only 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.
And 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. The tragedy that happened in Li Country is just a fragment in the long history since human beings.
The world is not benevolent, and all things are regarded as dogs. "
Holding his skull with one hand, Shan Chang raised his head to look at the roof, as if he was going to stare at the eternal starry sky through the wood and stone.
dangdangdangdang—
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 smiled gently: "Starting tomorrow, report to Dongjun Building. I will ask Ati to prepare the training ground for you."
Li Ang held the teacup with a dazed expression 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 also very clear that there are many people in Yu State who do not want to see the war coming—there are worries 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 pressed 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 blows into the house, blows across the skull, and makes a weak whimpering wind sound, like a whisper.
——
During the next period of time, the entire Academy and Yu State were mobilized.
A large amount of construction materials were transported to the coastal areas for the construction of breakwaters and city walls.
The shipyard works day and night to build ocean-going vessels that can sail into endless seas.
The villages closest to the seaside are relocated to nearby towns to reduce the pressure of defense.
The doctors of the Academy took the sky to the East China Sea 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.
Whoosh—
A burly figure rushed towards him from the valley hundreds of meters away, stepping on the water surface as if he was walking on flat 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, so that the dragon meteor spear is suspended in the air, and the blade of the gun shakes slightly, always locking on the target's trajectory.
One hundred meters, fifty meters, twenty meters.
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 is lingering with vigorous energy and 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.
With a thick beard and hair, and a ferocious face, he looks very much like the young generals of Zhen Guo, Duke Yan, and Yan Yundang.
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 against a martial arts expert—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 spear roared and flew, and the phantom of the dragon's head looming on the blade of the spear loomed.
Time seemed to slow down at this moment, 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 through tightly clenched 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 disappeared, 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 the right shoulder.
"It took half an hour to challenge the thirty-seven-year-old Yan Yundang,"
The puppet servitor named Ati stood beside the exclusive trolley, took a pen to record, and said in a dull tone: "Failure."
On the small trolley, there is 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 body training exercises that Lord Yan practiced when he was young, there is no function of 'continue to move with a broken heart and lung'. "
"Not really."
Ati said calmly: "However, the thirty-seven-year-old Yan Yundang, who is a consummate martial artist, is at the peak of his mind, body, and skills.
Theoretically, 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.
Because of this, he still had a little strength and threw a punch.
And the strength of that punch is just enough to penetrate your mind power defense, break your shoulder, and expose Mosi to the outside. "
". So many are 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 will ask Duke Yan right now, and let him estimate whether he has the ability to do what you said when he was young."
Ati was still unmoved, "Be lenient in anticipating the enemy, and strict in defending against the enemy. Every time you use the suanni furnace, you have to spend a lot of materials.
Therefore, every time you fight, you must achieve the ultimate and maximize the training effect.
This is also the meaning of the head of the mountain. "
Seeing that the opponent moved out of the mountain leader, Li Ang had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender, "Okay, okay, what you said is 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: "There are still alienated objects in the Dongjun Tower that have not been maintained today. I have to go to work. Your breathing is also messed up, and you need to calm down."
"Fine."
Li Ang, who knew he was really not in the best condition, nodded in agreement, and tore off a Breeze Talisman casually, 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 didn't take it seriously and said: "Just now I noticed that the speed of Long Yu's gun 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 Dragon Meteor 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 known.
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 incense burner can record the information of the monk who touched it, and in the form of white smoke, it can summon a phantom with several 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 burn messages Academy Luqingya.
Even the phantoms of the school masters of the past dynasties can be summoned.
Of course, Suan Ni furnace also has considerable limitations.
Every time you activate it, you have to input spiritual power that exceeds the quota 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 the most promising monks in Yu country who are about to break through the Zhuxiao realm.
Think about it too, if there is no taboo in the Suanni furnace, why not hide in the dark for a few years in the academy, summon the heroic spirits of the previous mountain leaders in one breath, directly hit Taihao Mountain, and bulldoz the Taoist gate.
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."
