Chapter 1959: Doubt

Only Fairy Qingxia took a step back and stood behind the crowd without any movement.
According to the rules, her task was only to monitor the performance of the three Ye Tian during this walk of experience, without paying attention to other matters.
Moreover, with the cultivation base of the few people who flew here, it was far from being a fairy Qingxia coming forward in person.
Ye Tian made a gesture of please and let those people come to the deck of the flying boat.
"I'm the King of State Wu, Lu Yucheng, I don't know your Excellency...?" the middle-aged man in the dragon robe asked.
"My name is Lin Xuan, and I lead my disciple in the lower reaches of the sky, passing here by accident." Ye Tian said a fake name casually.
He tried to make a detour, just to avoid the obstacles of Mount Xiandao, which controls the world of Jiuzhou, in order to avoid possible trouble, it is better to hide the real name.
This action fell in the eyes of Tan Xuefeng, Ding Shi, and many other disciples, and it was automatically interpreted as a low-key performance, and no one thought much about it.
"It turned out to be Mr. Lin Xuan," Lu Yucheng nodded.
The reputation of the sanctuary in the world of Jiuzhou is too loud. It is natural to be able to become the king of a country and to know some of the rules in the sanctuary.
In fact, through the flying boat that Ye Tian and others were riding in, he had already seen that this was the car used by the gentleman to go out in the sanctuary.
After the three of Ye Tian passed the competition, they had already put on the new blue robes, which can also let people who know the rules of the temple understand their identities.
"This is the city lord of Shoucheng, Han Liang." Lu Yucheng pointed to a tall middle-aged man wearing a black robe on his left side and introduced.
"This is the immortal envoy of Xiandao Mountain in my country of Wu, Song Kangsong!" Then, he pointed to an old man wearing a Taoist robe on the right.
In fact, Ye Tian had already recognized that this old man should be a person from Xiandao Mountain through the robes on the old man's body.
This is also the reason why Ye Tian decided to use the fake name temporarily.
Lu Yucheng, who was left with their counterparts, did not say any more, it should be unnecessary to introduce them.
Ye Tian also introduced Tan Xuefeng and Ding Shi to each other, and they greeted each other.
After a brief understanding, Ye Tian asked what he had always wanted to say.
"This Wangchuan River bursts its dyke, why didn't you stop it and cause such a disaster?"
"Friend Lin Xuan has bothered. This is indeed our negligence. It's just that the three of us are in retreat and our subordinates did not dare to bother. We really didn't know this happened. I still noticed the world that the two gentlemen moved when they took action. Breath, only then hurried out!"
"Actually, a few gentlemen don't know something about this. The Levee of Wangchuan River often breaks. It has been reinforced with formations, but it can't be cured, so everyone has long been used to it." Lu Yucheng sighed.
"Speaking of which, thank you all for taking action to save me from disaster in Shoucheng," he continued after a pause, while saluting Tan Xuefeng and Ding Shi.
Ye Tian frowned slightly.
Do you avoid disasters? However, now that the disaster has appeared, how can it be said that it is exempt?
But Ye Tian didn't have any extra thoughts to bite the bullet with this person.
"At the moment, we should try our best to eliminate the impact of the disaster, properly resettle the victims, and rebuild the city." Ye Tian said with a deep voice, "I can stay here for three days. These disciples will help you."
Ye Tian's words obviously made Lu Yucheng stunned.
"Thank you, then, let City Lord Han take a good place to entertain you all." But he immediately reacted, nodded, and pointed to City Lord Han Liang in Shoucheng.
The latter should be in a hurry.
…
The reconstruction of Shoucheng began. Under the guidance and arrangement of the city lord Han Liang, most of the disciples entered the city.
What everyone can do now is to heal the wounded.
Before asking about the cultivation base, the cultivators all cultivated themselves. It can be said that every beginner cultivator is the best healer in the world, especially for mortals.
Therefore, the role of these more than 30 disciples is still very large.
Ye Tian and Fairy Qingxia, who had concealed her cultivation base and identity, also walked with everyone.
Regardless of whether it is Fairy Ye Tian, ​​Qingxia Fairy, or many disciples, as long as it does not interfere with the impact, everyone is not stingy and help each other when seeing this disaster happen. After all, they are all living people, they are fresh. s life.
Unfortunately, these disciples can only heal the wounded, and there is no way to save the dead people and monks.
Fairy Ye Tian and Qingxia actually have this ability, but...you can save a few. If there are too many, it will be against God's way.
In this disaster, the injured are really a small part, and most of the people's fragile lives have been taken away by the flood.
The cleaned up corpses accounted for most of them.
Ye Tian and the others went all the way and saw the surviving people rushing around aimlessly, looking for their homes and relatives.
Of course, more of them are with negative emotions such as panic, despair, sadness, loss, etc., hiding in some places where they think they are safe, shivering, immersed in the fear brought by disasters and unable to extricate themselves.
However, wherever Ye Tian and others went, the eyes of those who saw them immediately lit up, shouting loudly for the immortals of the temple to come.
Tan Xuefeng and Ding Shi, who wore temple robes before, blocked the embankment. When the flood was transferred, their figures were clearly printed in the eyes of the people in the city, and they quickly spread throughout the city.
Now everyone knows that it was the immortals of the temple who stopped the disaster and saved them. At this time, seeing Ye Tian and the others appeared in front of them, their hearts were undoubtedly reinfused with hope and strength.
They were ragged and gathered in front of Ye Tian and the others, knelt down and kowtow, thanking them for their help.
However, Ye Tian noticed that there was a drenched and dirty boy not far away, but he was standing in place with his back to the crowd, as if the movement behind him turned a deaf ear to his ears, and he just looked in front of him earnestly.
There were four corpses lined up neatly, two men and two women.
I don’t know what the young man is thinking at this time, but his own state is actually not very good. Some sharp object seems to have made a deep wound on his left arm. After the flood, the flesh and blood have turned white. It turned outward like a big open mouth, and the white bones inside can be seen as conspicuous as human teeth.
Ye Tian frowned slightly and walked to the other side.
"I'll help you heal your injury," Ye Tian stretched out his hand and pulled the boy's left arm up.
The boy seemed to have finally reacted. He turned his head and looked at Ye Tian seriously.
Then he glanced at other people in the room.
Ye Tian stretched out his hand, exuding brilliance, spreading out, wrapping the young man's wound.
The dirt on the wound was instantly cleaned up, and then it began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The young man looked at Ye Tian blankly, and suddenly his whole body began to tremble slightly.
Immediately afterwards, Dou Da's tears came from the boy's eyes.
He began to cry silently.
After a while, Ye Tian let go of his hand, and the boy's arm had recovered as before, his skin was ruddy, and there was no sign of injury.
He let tears rag on his dirty face, staring at his injured arm with wide eyes.
Then he looked at Ye Tian again.
"Why are you here?!" The young man asked with a trembling tone, gritted his teeth tightly, and hollow eyes.
The boy's question was obviously not for Ye Tian to answer.
"Why didn't you arrive a while earlier?"
"As long as it's a while earlier, my parents won't die!"
"Grandparents won't die!"
"My sister will not be swept away by the water!"
"why?!"
These crying wailing words seemed to have exhausted all the strength of the young man, he fell to the ground with a normal sound, his hands were deeply clasped on the muddy ground, and his whole body trembled and twitched uncontrollably.
He was howling and crying.
It is like a desperate little beast that has fallen into a hunter's trap.
The young man's cry also attracted the attention of the rest of the audience. An old man staggered over, stopped in front of Ye Tian with a panic expression, and knelt down with a plop.
Ye Tian didn't actually say anything, but the old man was worried that he would offend the aloof immortal, that's why he would act like this.
"Xianchang, please forgive his offense!" The old man sighed with tears and sighed: "When the flood came, all of their houses were hidden on the roof, but it was a pity that the old house was soaked in water for too long, before you took action. , It still collapsed."
"His parents and grandparents tried their best to drag him and his sister out of the water. He was holding his sister, but his arm was scratched and did not let go. In the end, the wound was too heavy, and the little girl was also lost. The flood is gone, and I haven't found it yet!"
"Don't blame him, this child, pitiful!" The old man said, banging his head at Ye Tian again.
"Old man, where is your family?" Ye Tian asked in a deep voice.
"My wife is leaving too," the old man said: "When the house collapsed, it passed all of a sudden. I didn't suffer any crime, it's good!"
"She won't be alone over there, because my old bones will soon be with her." At the end, the old man managed to squeeze out a smile, but it was only full of extreme sorrow and deep wrinkles.
…
This old and one young is just a microcosm of thousands of people in this Shoucheng at this time, and there are countless people who have the same experience.
Even worse than this is countless.
Everyone continued to move forward while healing the wounded.
About half an hour later, they came to a square.
In the old days, it seemed to be a bazaar, where you could see many signboards washed away by the flood, broken stalls, and so on.
But at this moment, this place has become a temporary corpse.
Countless unclaimed bodies are placed here.
Some people came here, identifying one by one among the corpses, holding the complex psychology of hope and despair at the same time.
From time to time, someone recognizes someone in it, and then there is a cry of sadness.
Depression and heaviness are filled here, making every cry and howl seem extremely harsh.
After a moment of silence, Ye Tian and others continued to move forward.
…
In Shoucheng, somewhere in the depths of the elegant manor.
In the space opened up underground, the huge night pearl inlaid on the wall illuminates the dark space.
Several figures were sitting inside at this time.
Among them are Lu Yucheng, the king of Wu, and Song Kang, the fairy envoy of Xiandao Mountain.
Although when I saw Ye Tian, ​​Lu Yucheng had always been headed, but at this time, here, the seat of the few people was clearly headed by Song Kang.
"It was something that went smoothly, but suddenly a team from the temple came to pass by. It's really unlucky!" Lu Yucheng shook his head and said.
"Or, let's just put these people in the temple as well..." an old man with a gloomy face said in a deep voice, with murderous intent in his tone.
"This matter is indeed possible, that is, the strength of the three gentlemen is slightly stronger, two are the peaks of the gods, one can not see through, but since they are wearing blue robes, they should not be better than the gods, we two return Xu, the four gods, if they are prepared to be surprised, it is not difficult to catch them all at once!" The other person also agreed and nodded.
"It's not right..." Song Kang said slowly, "That's the person from the temple after all, and the temple is also part of my Xiandao Mountain. It's not a small trouble for a group of people to disappear here inexplicably."
"The main concern is, will they find something?" Lu Yucheng said.
"No, we are just beginning. Even if they find that the flood is strange and harmless, they are all monks. The lives and lives of some unrelated mortals and monks are not a major event. No one cares about it." Song Kang Indifferently said: "And that Lin Xuan has already said that we will only stay for three days, when they leave, we will come back."
"No problem." Several people next to each other responded.
"But you still have to be as careful as possible. You must send someone to accompany you for these three days, in case they find anything." Song Kang ordered.
"it is good!"
…
By the third day, Ye Tian and others had already visited Shoucheng. They stayed up and down and treated all the wounded they encountered.
In the end, everyone came to the center of Shoucheng, in front of the square of the City Lord’s Mansion.
Several porridge sheds have been set up here for the hungry people to barely fill their stomachs.
At the end of the three days set by Ye Tian, ​​he did not stay any longer, and returned to the flying boat with the delivery of the king of the State of Wu, Lu Yucheng and the lord of Shoucheng, Han Liang.
In fact, the hearts of the disciples are still very heavy, and everyone basically wants to stay there and do things within their power, but the environment is really depressing and heavy, which makes people suffocating.
After Ye Tian and Lu Yucheng, Han Liang and others bid farewell, they urged their flying boat to rise into the air and continue westward along the Wangchuan River.
Only after leaving Shoucheng, Ye Tian always felt that something was wrong.
It seems that something has been overlooked and forgotten.
He originally wondered if it was because of Zuo Qiuyi. After all, Ye Tian was originally curious about this city because Shoucheng was once the hometown of Zuo Qiuyi.
After the result arrived, he encountered the disaster, and then basically healed and helped the people for three days, without thinking about Zuo Qiuyi.
But after another thought, this is not the case. This is only the place where Zuo Qiuyi lived. Whether it is starting to practice or getting close to the secret of luck, it is all things that happened in the temple, and it has nothing to do with this.
Fairy Qingxia told Ye Tian that Zuo Qiuyi discovered his talent by chance by a passing church teacher, and brought him back to the church to begin his real practice.
Besides, there is nothing worthy of Ye Tian's attention.
After living in Dianjiaofeng for decades, Ye Tian basically read all the books in it, and all the books he had read in his memory did not record any major events related to Shoucheng.
Thinking of this, Ye Tian frowned suddenly!
Book records...
He suddenly remembered that he had read a few notes about Shoucheng in the book.
Apart from being the capital of Wu, there are indeed no impressive points, and there have been no figures worth mentioning except Zuo Qiuyi.
The only thing is Shoucheng itself.
The city built by the Wangchuan River has been around for a long, long time. It has an ancient history. The most important thing is that the city has never encountered any natural disasters since it was recorded, whether it was a flood or an earthquake. Storm and so on, etc.
It is also because this city is located beside the Wangchuan River, the largest river in the world in Jiuzhou, and it has become a very rare thing that it has never encountered a flood before.
Because of this, this city got the name Shoucheng, which means longevity.
Yes, there has not been a flood!
Ye Tian's eyes narrowed slightly.
He suddenly remembered that when he first came to Shoucheng and met the King of Wu, Lu Yucheng, the other party said to himself that there were frequent floods here, and he had become accustomed to it, so they didn't care at first!
At the same time, Ye Tian also thought of the scenes he saw in Shoucheng.
If this is a city that often suffers from floods, then the people in the city should have been able to prevent such things, or have experience in dealing with floods.
But...actually, the people of Suseong had no such preparation.
Not only people, but also the large number of houses in the city that collapsed because they couldn't bear the blisters, it shows that Lu Yucheng's statement is wrong.
In the records Ye Tian had read before, the description of Shoucheng was correct!
Therefore, Lu Yucheng is lying!
In addition, they did not come forward to stop the flood from entering the city, and it was obvious that Tan Xuefeng and Ding Shi showed up after they had stopped the flood.
It's just that their explanation was reasonable at the time, and Ye Tian didn't bother to care about them.
But now when a loophole was discovered and doubts arose, Ye Tian was very confused.
Why did they lie to Ye Tian?
In fact, Ye Tian did just pass by Shoucheng, with no actual purpose at all. To conceal from Ye Tian could only explain what they wanted to do in Shoucheng that could not let Ye Tian know the truth.
I think again that they let the flood flood the city, and that the Shoucheng embankment, which had been safe and sound for countless years, suddenly suffered a disaster for some reason.
In Ye Tian's heart, a terrible guess appeared.
Yangzhou is considered to be among the most prosperous places among the nine continents. Wu is also one of the strongest countries in Yangzhou. For example, the monarch of Wu is a state of return for cultivation, and the emissaries sent by Xiandao Mountain to Wu have also returned to the state. Repair for.
This is an extremely difficult situation in an average country.
And that Shoucheng is the capital of the Wu Kingdom, plus it has been peaceful for a long time, and the population is prosperous. It is extremely rich. According to Ye Tian's three-day speculation, there are more than one million people living in Shoucheng.
If it is really the kind of speculation.
Ye Tian's eyes suddenly became gloomy.
