39. Touch Tianwei
The night in Qiuling County is brightly lit.
The caravan that was brought back by soldiers, the guards of Sijiabao who were escorted back, and the stolen "family heirlooms"... These news spread like wildfires in Qiuling County. In the middle of the night, even the fireworks and willow alleys spread.
"...The Si family is afraid that this time it will fall! A servant stole the account book and heard that it has fallen into General Liu's hands!"
"What account book? Is it not a bribery of the official account book? Joke, what's the use of such a thing? The Si family is the best in Qiuling County. Even Wu Fujun from Pingzhou wants to sell the Si family for a little face. He is a fourth-rank official who is in charge of Pingzhou. That General Liu is just a military officer who was demoted to suppress bandits here. How dare he challenge Wu Fujun?"
In Xiaoyu Tower, there was a table where people were dizzy and their ears were hot. They couldn't help but speak loudly.
The woman sitting beside them changed slightly, and she subconsciously looked around. The woman in the lead was wearing pink gauze and quickly carried a wine pot to persuade her to drink, so as not to make these people feel too loud and cause unnecessary trouble.
As a result, after a few words of persuasion, many customers came out of the small building in the backyard, with their faces ashen and hurriedly left.
"Hey, isn't that Mr. Zhang?"
"Shopkeeper Qian, I'm happy here tonight... Don't leave? What's wrong?"
The drinking guest stood up crookedly, wondering.
After a while, someone said, "Speaking of all, their caravans are back tonight. Are you rushing to inquire about the news?"
What kind of news is that I can’t even sleep in the Gentle Land?
The people who were drinking in the building looked at each other and felt a bad feeling in their hearts. Some people who had some good things quickly paid the money and ran out to inquire about the situation.
Before he left the house, a young man stumbled in and shouted, "No! The people from Sijiabao attacked General Liu on the mountain road. Now the general of the bandit has ordered all his troops and is going to Sijiabao to question the crime!"
Everyone was upset. What did they say? They suddenly took action?
Before Liu Dan came, Qiuling County was very perfunctory in checking gold mines. The Si family also acted as if they had given enough money and fed the government and handed over the gold mines, they would have nothing to do, so no one believed that the Si family would collapse.
Half of the city in Qiuling County is all the shops of the Si family. Even if the rest are not, they are closely related to the Si family. Now that this is the case, no wonder those shopkeepers can't sit still.
Xiaoyu Tower was empty in a blink of an eye. When the madam went out, she saw that the whole street was like this.
Her house is the first at the entrance of the alley, with a good location and can be seen clearly.
"What's the matter? The Si family is not the sky. Even if the sky collapses, what's the use of running there?" The madam spat. When she was about to enter, she suddenly saw two people passing by on the street outside the alley.
The lantern was hanging high, and she could see clearly that the man on the left was wearing an ordinary cloak, but his shoulders were straight when walking, and he was definitely not poor but poor.
"Two officials! Come in and have a drink!"
The person she greeted didn't even look at this side and continued to walk forward.
The madam was angry and suddenly saw the man on the right carrying a bag. He quickly raised his voice and said, "Did you come from another place? It's time, there are no empty rooms in the inn. Something happened to Qiuling County tonight. I'm afraid it will be uneasy all night. If you want to have a stable sleep, you might as well go into my Xiaoyu Tower!"
The two people passing by were Dr. Mo and the doctor's patients who took the opportunity to escape after arriving in Qiuling County.
"Doctor." Meng Qi couldn't help laughing, "Do you think you're going to sleep well after entering, or can't sleep?"
"Don't pick the wrong things in the words." Mo Li didn't take the old madam's greeting seriously, nor did she feel bored.
In fact, Zhushan County is very poor, so poor that there are basically no brothels and Chu Pavilions.
If the madam didn't say hello, Mo Li didn't realize what this place was.
But that's all, because the price here is too high and it is definitely not within Doctor Mo's consideration. The advantage of the brothel Chuguan is that it can hide its whereabouts, because staying in the inn requires a road guide, and locals need a household registration. There is no such rule when entering Fireworks and Willow Alley. Everyone comes. As long as you can afford the money, no one cares where you came from.
"The Si family's power in Qiuling County is even greater than expected." Meng Qi looked at the panicked people on the street and said thoughtfully, "I'm afraid something will happen."
The old madam greeted her for a long time and found that the two of them were getting farther and farther away, and they became even more angry.
It doesn’t look like it’s not money, so why would you rather go to the inn to endure the noise? You should know that the inns in Qiuling County are almost all the Si family’s business. Now the boss is in danger, so what are the guys still in the mood to greet the guests?
"I don't know the good people's hearts!" The madam turned around and returned to the building angrily, but ended up hitting the woman in pink head-on. The two of them couldn't dodge and collided.
"Qiuhong! What did you run out to do?"
The woman in pink held her dress and said in panic: "Mom, I just went to the backyard and heard a sound in the well."
"How is it possible? Can we still be haunted in the building?" The madam didn't believe it at all.
At this time, Meng Qi and Mo Li in the distance stopped at the same time, listening with a suspicious expression.
A strange sound came from the ground, becoming louder and louder.
Mo Li's expression changed drastically and she whispered: "It's the earth moving! Everyone should leave!"
The ground had already begun to shake slightly, because the sound of silk and bamboo stopped, and the rare quietness in the brothel Chu Pavilion, many people heard the strange sound.
The screams were connected, and many women ran out in a hurry, but they were tripped because of the tulle skirt on their bodies.
Tiles fell one after another, vases shattered, and the ground shook violently.
"The Earth Dragon has turned over!"
The terrified shouts came far away in the night, and the entire county town woke up in a shaking manner, but it was already late.
Mo Li just pulled a person away from the range where the tiles fell, and turned around and saw several people buried by the collapsed eaves. Even the number one master in the world, he was still distracted at this time.
What's worse is that Mo Li feels that his internal strength is being lost.
It was very inexplicable, but the spiritual power was consumed rapidly, and I still didn't know where I went.
"doctor!"
Meng Qi jumped over a pile of ruins and grabbed the black carp.
As soon as the two of them touched their palms, they felt that the other party was like themselves, and their spiritual energy was affected. If this continues, it will be difficult to protect themselves, let alone save people.
At this time, people could no longer stand, so they could only hold on to the things around them to maintain balance. A crack appeared on the road and it quickly extended and widened.
The crack was deep and there were no bottom-smelling smells coming out.
Some people couldn't dodge and fell into the crack, screaming endlessly.
In an instant, the Gentle Land became a ruin, and the living people struggled to escape, but the strange sounds underground made their eyes turn black, as if a beast roared at them in despair.
"boom!"
The sound suddenly disappeared, and there was a faint thunder in the sky.
The thunder in winter is really evil.
Mo Li stood in a daze, his consciousness broke away from his body and floated into the dark night sky. He saw that the entire Qiuling County had turned into ruins, with crying everywhere, and where there was light, there were fires caused by candles and overturned oil lamps.
A huge crack divided Qiuling County into two halves.
You can see that the crack extends into the mountains.
The situation in the mountains is more serious than that in Qiuling County. From a distance, the entire mountain is divided into pieces.
Rivers are diverted, cliffs fall—
Mo Li suddenly remembered that Liu Dan took people to Sijiabao, and he didn't know where he was blocked. He wanted to find these people, but it was too dark and he couldn't see anything except the rough mountain.
“It’s dead.”
A sound suddenly sounded, and Mo Li was shocked.
He had heard this sound, it was the Taijing Dragon Vein.
He quickly "looked up" but did not see the huge body of the golden dragon.
"……Where are you?"
"You are by your side, and you can't see me because our true body can only condense and form above the dragon vein, and the dragon vein of Silang Mountain is no longer there."
"You said it was dead?"
Mo Li was naturally shocked. He came to Silang Mountain just to find the dragon vein.
But how can the dragon vein die? Can the dragon vein formed by the gathering of spiritual energy still die?
"Because the Si family dug a gold mine in the mountains?" Mo Li couldn't help asking. He never believed in "digging out the dragon vein", but the result was true?
"It's not like that." The voice of the Taijing Dragon Vein suddenly changed, and the following words were vague, "It's someone..."
Mo Li wanted to listen carefully, but his consciousness was chaotic. When he woke up again, his ears were filled with crying.
"Doctor, are you okay?" Meng Qi helped Mo Li crawl out of the ruins.
Mo Li felt that the dantian was empty. He tried to mobilize his spiritual power, but he was almost filled with spiritual energy from all directions.
It was too abundant, a hundred times better than Qimaoshan, but I didn't notice it at all when I first arrived in Qiuling County.
Mo Li was secretly shocked when she was confused just now and said what Taijing Dragon Vein said.
——The dragon veins of Silang Mountain are dead.
Earth movement, landslide, and spiritual energy that scatters all over the surroundings are the scene after the dragon veins disappear?
Mo Li suddenly thought of his previous guess. He turned to look at Meng Qi and asked tentatively: "What did you see just now?"
"We all fainted just now. When I woke up, I saw you lying here." Meng Qi also found that his internal strength had recovered. He exclaimed lightly and said in shock, "Doctor, when the earthquake occurs, it will still absorb people's internal strength, and then come back?"
“…”
Mo Li couldn't answer. He felt extremely sad subconsciously. He had never seen the dragon vein of Silang Mountain, nor did he know whether it had consciousness. This discomfort was like someone digging a piece of his flesh with a knife.
In addition to sadness, there is also anger.
The surging anger, trying to destroy everything, was like the twisted and desperate roar underground when the earth was moving.
Mo Li almost thought Meng Qi's madness had spread to him. His hands kept trembling and scales began to appear on his face.
There was a faint cry for help under the ruins around me.
