Chapter 296
The jade figurine of Yingyuan waved its thunder wings to inspect the people of the island country.
After Zhou Yuan flew for a while, he saw a group of sentry towers with isolation functions.
Those sentry towers were not high, about 3 meters, but they had observation towers on them, with a wider field of vision.
The sentry towers divided the island into two worlds, one side was the Worry-free Paradise among the broken walls and ruins, and the other side was the ordinary city and country with strict defenses.
The people of Worry-free Land were plump and strong, and the people of the island country were thin and short.
It was really a line that separated the different worlds, and the lives of people a hundred miles apart were different.
Zhou Yuan cast a hiding spell on himself and landed in a city behind the sentry tower.
This place was far from being as prosperous and peaceful as Worry-free County, but it also had some commercial atmosphere.
There was a storyteller in the inn, saying that the monsters outside the city were fierce and fed on humans. If you enter the monster land, you must offer blood and flesh for the monsters to eat.
There were also singing vendors who said that monsters were good at confusing people and fools were blinded. No one had returned for three or five decades.
Lonely souls seek their way home, and relatives are often sad. Don't compare demons to gods and immortals, and protect yourself from being deceived for the rest of your life.
The island country has some propaganda methods. Whether true or false, islanders will not easily go to the worry-free land if there are such remarks.
After entering the county government office again, Zhou Yuan was ready to check the local county annals, but found a book called Pinghai Chronicles.
It records that in October of the eighth year of Pingchao, a demon secret realm fell in the southeast, and it initially became a rich rural area, with many suburban rabbits and wild dogs, and it was killed and reborn.
The people in the surrounding counties and towns were very happy to see it, so they used Wuyou Village as a granary and swarmed to hunt day and night.
Later, the Wuyou Demon Realm revealed its true nature and eroded the people's minds and souls. The king ordered a blockade but could not stop the people from surrendering.
So they started a war, because they could not break through the Wuyou Demon Realm in one day, and the Demon Realm could be reset, so they could not fight for many days, so they set up many sentry towers to restrain the people.
However, the people were ignorant and would rather believe in demons than the king. Since the land routes were not yet fully sealed, many people went out to sea to sneak across the sea in the name of fishing.
In the thirteenth year of Pingchao, the king could no longer bear it and ordered a ban on the sea, moved the people along the coast to the interior, and established several sea fishing offices to stop the confusion of the Wuyou Demon Realm.
After the opening preface, Pinghai Zhi introduced how to patrol the coastal waters, how to punish those who went out to sea privately, and where the fishing season would be gathered on what day and month.
This Pinghai Zhi made Zhou Yuan know that the country here was called Yi, and there were two neighboring island countries, namely Lanyu and Biyu.
Wuyou's expansion was also inseparable from the help of Lanyu and Biyu. They often used sea ships to transport prisoners and slaves and threw them into the sea of Wuyou.
It was only after Pingchao thirteen years later that the Yidao navy encircled and suppressed all kinds of ships near the coast, which stopped the sinister intentions of the neighboring countries.
Zhou Yuan saw the helplessness of Yidao from these records, and also saw the hidden dangers of Yidao's self-destruction.
The islands are rich in fisheries. The word "inland migration" will not only destroy the offshore trade, but also the source of food.
Several marine fisheries offices cannot make up for the fishermen's production, and will also raise the price of fish, making it difficult for the people to eat salted fish.
Sure enough, when he carefully checked the county government, he found a low secret room, which contained several volumes of rebellious documents.
On the twenty-eighth day of the flat tide and the eighth day of the eighth month, the stars moved to the southeast, and the sword and war rose on the earth. If the great cause is accomplished, the sea will be opened to relieve the people's burden. If the matter is not enough, the border will be returned to Wuyou.
"Wuyou County is out of control. With the help of the rebels, it is estimated that more people will move into it.
If this Yidao country does not have a large amount of grains and fish to enrich the people, even the replacement of the old and the new will be mostly useless."
After understanding the situation of the Yidao court, Zhou Yuan flew to the southeast again.
He was going to see the border of Wuyou Land by the sea, and by the way, find a land to help him teleport to Wuyou Village.
After all, the area of Wuyou Village has expanded too much, and it is difficult to know where the original Wuyou Village is among the many towns.
About half an hour later, he saw the junction of Wuyou Land and the sea.
What a strange landscape it was at that time, half a house, half a city, half a road, half a person, the street vendors shouted hard, half of their faces and half of their goods were broken.
The difference between the ocean and Wuyou Land is about 20 meters. The cliff is straight and smooth, and the waves hit and swept away a lot of mud and sand.
The white waves in the original blue sea became turbid and yellow, and the muddy water drifted in all directions to form a crescent moon in the sea, like a reflection of the bright moon and a giant beast in the sea.
Not long after, the sea water broke through the cliff soil, and the buildings and soil that lost their support above collapsed and fell into the sea in an instant.
The half-body vendor was still hawking, and the pedestrians nearby were all submerged in the sea.
The soil was dyed by the sea water, the bricks and stones sank into the sea and disappeared, and the wooden beams and ladders quickly floated up after entering the water.
Only the people who fell into the water looked the most strange. As their blood volume decreased, they did not swim back to the place where the landslide did not occur. They were soon washed away by the waves.
The city's constables heard the news and came, but they could not find the criminals.
Just when Zhou Yuan thought they would not rescue the disaster or turn a blind eye, he saw another shocking scene.
The constables determined that there was a riot ahead and needed to patrol and arrest, so they did not stop and walked down the cliff directly.
The next moment, they fell into the sea in unison, struggled a few times and then followed the waves.
This was not over yet. The death of the constables alarmed the guards in the city, so they came in a team quickly, but still determined that the front was within the city, so they fell into the sea in a team.
"Half of the city is outside the sea, and Wuyoudi has more or less the meaning of filling the sea with stones."
With a plop, the foundation of the previous landslide was destroyed, and a small-scale landslide occurred again, taking away several houses and pedestrians around.
Afterwards, the other defense systems of the half city were activated, the North City Square Temple glowed, and a Square God and six Yin Messengers arrived.
[Level 50 Gaiyuan County Square God Yan Sheng], [Level 40 Patrol City Yin Messengers]
"Gaiyuan County is located inland, how can the sea water flood? Could it be that a great supernatural being moved mountains and filled the sea, and used my Gaiyuan County as a filler?"
The judgment logic of the Fangshen Yan Sheng is higher than that of the constable. At least he can make certain feedback according to environmental changes.
But his judgment logic also stops here. Facing the boundless ocean, he has no disaster relief plan.
For this reason, he floated in the landslide of the city, neither retreating nor advancing, but staying in one place like watching the sea and the tide.
Seeing this, Zhou Yuan descended from the sky to see if he could buy this dangerous city at a discount.
After all, a Daoxiang Village received four portions of his fortune incense, and he didn't know how much a county would cost.
It's a rare opportunity to encounter a discount on a town, so he must buy it at the bottom.
"Why doesn't the Gaiyuan Fangshen govern the territory, but let it collapse and be damaged."
Zhou Yuan descended from the sky, startling the sluggish Gaiyuan Fangshen.
Since the incarnation of incense is originally a god of fortune, and has a basic favorability towards ghost-type units, Gaiyuanfangshen has a certain initial favorability towards him.
"It's the land of Daoxiang that has come. It's not that I'm indifferent, but it's beyond my scope of handling.
I don't have the ability to move mountains or split the sea, otherwise I would have dispersed the waves and lifted Gaiyuan City to move inland."
"I see, why don't you exchange this city with me, I might be able to govern it."
"Okay, but the land submerged by the sea doesn't count, and I can't decide on the land outside the city.
You can exchange the remaining land in the city for whatever you like. I don't accept hidden salaries, but only heavenly salaries."
