Origin Chapter 798: Wake up
Ascertaining that Wu Zhongyuan was indeed in a hurry, Wan Shanhong waved at Wu Zhongyuan and motioned him to deal with it as soon as possible.
Wu Zhongyuan picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea Wan Shanhong had poured for him before, then put down the teacup and nodded to Wan Shanhong before teleporting away.
The reason why he is still in the mood to drink tea is because the teleportation can come and go, no matter who destroys the temple in Minshan, he can deal with it in time.
On that day, he hid the iron coffin under the foundation of the Minshan temple, and left a little spiritual energy on one of the bricks of the temple. After he appeared, he was the first to find that the temple was not damaged. There was no human activity either, and just as he was about to concentrate on perception, a red-eyed mole showed half of its head from a hole under the wall.
The masonry where he left his spiritual energy is located where the corner of the wall is grounded. It is no wonder that the mole accidentally dug into the masonry.
Wu Zhongyuan would never have thought much about it before he switched, but having learned from the past, he was worried that there was something strange about this matter, so he focused on the atmosphere around him, and turned around at the same time.
After observation, it was determined that this incident was purely accidental, so I was relieved.
I wanted to go back to Yanyun Island again, but I remembered that the business had been done, and there was no need to disturb Wan Shanhong, so I teleported back to Yuxiong.
Every time he returned to Youxiong, he almost always appeared in the square in front of Zhongtian Hall, and this time it was the same. After he appeared, the yellow-robed guards who were on duty walked over to him. Di ordered them to wait here, and if he found him returning, he would ask him to wait at the Zhongtian Temple, and Wu Di had something important to announce.
"Where is Empress Wu now?" Wu Zhongyuan asked with a frown. He only left for an hour and missed the time of the previous court. Wu Di has something important to report, and it is likely that he received an important memorial from a certain Yuancheng.
"Go back to the sage, Empress Wu went to the prime minister's mansion," said the imperial guard in yellow robe.
Wu Zhongyuan wanted to rush to the prime minister's house, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind. He turned around and walked into the Zhongtian Temple. The Huangpao guards went to inform Wu Di and the old blind man.
Wu Di and the old blind man were both old friends before Wu Zhongyuan's enthronement. Just try to avoid private contact with the old blind man. If it is not a very important matter, Wu Di will not go out of the palace to see the old blind man.
Entering the Zhongtian Hall, you can see a stack of bamboo slips on the table from a distance. At this time, there are two kinds of memorials. One is the bamboo slips, which are ordinary official memorials, and the memorials are not very special. important business. There is also a secret report made of two wooden boards, and the writers are the city lords of Dayuancheng himself. Usually, only Huangdi himself can read it.
Since it is a bamboo slip, it is not an emergency official business. Since it is not an emergency official business, why should it be placed in such a conspicuous position.
Wu Zhongyuan hurried north and took a bundle of bamboo slips to read after he sat down. The memorial was written by Jiang Yong, the deputy city owner of Cangshan. There was a severe earthquake in a besieged city in Cangshan yesterday evening. After the earthquake, a nearby mountain collapsed, revealing A bottomless pit.
If it wasn't for Wu Di and the old blind man who put these bamboo slips on his desk, this matter would not have attracted his attention, but after thinking about it, this matter is really strange. If it is a simple earthquake, it cannot only appear in Somewhere in a besieged village, the entire Yicheng or even Yuancheng should feel it.
After reading the first bundle of bamboo slips, Wu Zhongyuan took another bundle at random. This memorial is also from the Niu family, and was sent by Xiaoshan. There is a large lake in Xiaoshan, and the lake is bottomless. Last night, the lake suddenly dried up, leaving a huge pothole three feet square at the bottom of the dried-up lake, which was also bottomless.
The third bundle of bamboo slips came from Daqiu of the Bear Clan. Someone found an ancient tomb that was robbed and excavated in the west mountain of Daqiu. There was a large amount of red soil piled up around it. There was a huge round sarcophagus in the tomb, which was five feet square. Three feet deep, there was a stench of red liquid left in the sarcophagus, and several strange footprints were found near the ancient tomb, only three toes, the size of a small grinding disc.
After reading this memorial, Wu Zhongyuan frowned. He had never seen a round sarcophagus, let alone a sarcophagus with a diameter of more than five feet. What is the concept of five feet? It has already exceeded sixteen meters. What kind of corpse needs such a huge sarcophagus?
After reading the third bundle of bamboo slips, Wu Zhongyuan picked up another copy. This memorial also came from the Niu tribe. There was a very serious attack on livestock in the city under the jurisdiction of Jishan, and the herdsmen who were grazing outside disappeared. Most of the 100 cows grazing were swallowed up, and there were huge footprints left on the site. The footprints had five toes, very similar to human footprints. The footprints were different in size. The largest was close to three feet, and the smallest was two feet and three inches. According to Judging from the footprints, these giant creatures are a kind of humanoid creatures that have never been seen before, and there are at least two dozen in number.
The time of the incident was also last night. Since the incident happened in the wild and no one witnessed it, no one knows what this group of humanoids are, but what is certain is that these humanoids are unusually tall and under normal circumstances The height of a person is usually seven times the length of a foot, and according to this ratio, the height of these humanoids should be close to seven meters.
The barbarians are already giants, and the tallest is only about three meters tall, which means that these humanoids are more than twice as tall as the barbarians, which can no longer be described as huge. Call it horror.
A hundred cows were devoured by half. Even if half of them were calculated, it would be fifty cows. The number of humanoids mentioned in the memorial was at least twenty. This data should be based on the footprints left at the scene. Judging from the calculation, it is calculated on the basis of twenty-five, and one humanoid eats two cows on average!
Frowning for a long time, Wu Zhongyuan dropped the bamboo slips in his hand and picked up a bundle again. There were fifteen bundles of bamboo slips on the desk, and this was the fifth bundle.
If it is an urgent official business, Dayuancheng will use wooden boards or flying birds to pass a book to rush to report. Since ordinary bamboo slips are used, it means that these official affairs are not very urgent in Dayuancheng's view, but if it is only a single The emergencies may not explain the problem, but when these things are connected in series, signs and signs can be found.
Wu Zhongyuan spread out the fifth bundle of bamboo slips to read quickly. This memorial was sent by the Bear Clan Yuancheng Dakuang. In the area under his jurisdiction, there were two adjacent besieged cities where someone contracted a strange disease and bit people madly , the city lord Wu Baiye has sent a doctor to treat him.
Looking at the time of the memorial, the memorial was issued the morning before yesterday.
Plague usually occurs in summer or winter, and rarely occurs in spring and autumn, and people infected with plague usually do not bite people. Rabies do bite people, but there are very few people who keep dogs and cats at this time. Very rarely, should not be rabies.
One sentence of mad biting is enough to make Wu Zhongyuan worried. He has been exposed to corpse poison in modern times. When he sees the word biting, he instinctively thinks of zombies.
Just when Wu Zhongyuan was hesitating whether to go to Dakuang immediately to find out, Wu Di and the old blind man asked to see him from outside the hall.
Wu Zhongyuan temporarily suppressed the idea of going to Dakuang and ordered Wu Di and the old blind man to enter the hall.
Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan was reading the memorial, Wu Di and the old blind man did not rush to speak. These memorials were picked out by them. Since Wu Zhongyuan was reading, they did not need to dictate the opening.
Wu Zhongyuan then changed another bundle of bamboo slips. This bundle of bamboo slips was sent from Yanshan Mountain in Yuancheng of the Niu clan. Yesterday evening, someone saw a large group of yellow-haired otters in the Yeshui River in the territory, heading westwards, mighty. No less than a thousand.
At this time, people were very superstitious. This incident was reported by the city lord Jiang Ci as a good omen. The yellow-haired otter went up against the current.
No one doesn't like to hear good words, but Wu Zhongyuan is quite disgusted with slapping horses in the wind, especially this kind of nonsense slapping horses in the wind. Besides, there are bears in Middle-earth, and otters are heading west. Who are they heading for?
Throw down this bundle and look at the next bundle. Last night, someone saw a large group of falcons with wingspans of more than 10 feet flying away from east to west.
Look at the next bundle. The memorial is also from the Niu tribe. A huge centipede with a body length of three feet attacked the besieged city of Anxi at night, swallowed a few roosters, gave birth to six red wings, and flew away.
The four words "Flying to the Sky" in the memorial made Wu Zhongyuan's nameless fire and fled? What kind of escape is this? They were clearly just passing by and ate something along the way. If they really wanted to make trouble, who would be able to stop it in a mere besieged city.
Looking at the time on the memorial, it was the dawn of the fifth watch yesterday.
The next bundle of bamboo slips is a bizarre thing. A giant beast with only bones left from the ground broke out of the ground and ran into the deep mountains and forests in full view.
If you don't read all the memorials, you may have some omissions and affect the final judgment. He patiently read the memorials on the table. Wu Zhongyuan put down the memorials and frowned. Half of the things mentioned in the memorials happened yesterday. In the past three or two days, there have been quite a few, most of which were non-human beings born out of nowhere. If nothing else, it is likely that the beastmaster who escaped the predicament was summoning his old tribe and the same kind.
It was also his expectation that Beastmaster Su Yang summoned the orcs after he got out of trouble, but he was worried that many aliens attacked humans recklessly when they intersected with the human race, which showed that Beastmaster Su Yang didn't Orcs carry out targeted restraints.
Wu Zhongyuan did not take the initiative to speak, and the old blind man and Wu Di did not speak either. The old blind man did not know that Wu Zhongyuan had broken the aura barrier and returned the Beast King and others to freedom. What he was worried about was that these aliens were summoned by the Demon King and rushed to Xiguan to attack Xiguan. Army camp.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't tell the old blind man that he had released the orcs because the old blind man didn't agree with him at first, but the ugly daughter-in-law had to see her parents-in-law and couldn't hide it from him all the time. The old blind man said.
Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, the old blind man nodded slowly, but did not answer.
The old blind man didn't speak, Wu Zhongyuan didn't speak anymore, and Wu Di also didn't speak a word. So many have been reported so far, and there must be more cases that haven't been reported and haven't been discovered. Three The problem people are thinking about at this time is actually the same, that is, the strength of the orcs is much stronger than the three people thought before...
