Jidao: I have ten equipment slots

Chapter 70 [069] Outbreak (Subscription Request)
Is this bead also an equipable item?

Gu Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly and rejected the equipment.

Without it, the effect is average.

Whether it is the body of a tripod or the flaming armor, they are both useless to Gu Zheng at the moment.

The former has a bronze elephant body, while the latter has the skill to control fire demons.

It can ward off evil spirits and suppress bad luck, so it has some effect.

For this reason, even though the beads were cracked a lot, Gu Zheng still picked them up and put them into the storage leaf.

He turned around and clasped his fists towards a hilltop hundreds of meters away.

While fighting with Xie Bufeng, Gu Zheng sensed that someone was watching them from the top of a distant hill.

Gazing from a distance at this moment, in the dark vision, one can clearly see Yuan Qianjun, Qing Yixiao, Qing Yimei, and another man and woman.

Without any greeting, he clasped his fists and bowed, then jumped into the air.

Bang! Bang! Bang~
After a triple jump, gliding through the night sky, he returned straight to Daping County.

……

The backyard of the county government office.

In a guest room.

"How about it?"

Gu Zheng looked at Yan Hongxue, who was lying on the bed, with a pale face and weak breath, "Can you hold on?"

“…I can’t die.”

Yan Hongxue exhaled slightly, "County Magistrate Shi just asked the doctor to examine me, and I also checked myself. Flesh injuries are only minor matters. The overdraft of the body caused by the explosion of the secret technique is the key. This injury cannot be recovered in a short time, and needs to be healed slowly."

"That's good."

Gu Zheng nodded, "You should have a good rest from now on, and wait for the people from the company to come, then go back with them. I'll keep an eye on the Qianxing Lake area. By the way, what is the origin of the Xie family of the Fiery Python? A half-demon family?"

"Yes, a half-demon family." Yan Hongxue took a breath and said slowly, "Because of the influence of the bloodline power of the Fiery Python, the Xie family, both men and women are lustful demons. Whoever they like, they want... to have it. Even children from noble families have been taken advantage of by them."

"Then the reputation of the Xie family must be awful to hear," Gu Zheng said calmly, "Is there any noble family that dares to associate with them?"

"It does stink. If you go around, it stinks!"

Yan Hongxue closed her eyes, recalled, and continued, "According to the news I have learned about the noble families, some of them are almost indistinguishable from demons. Compared with those noble families, the Xie family is considered good."

Gu Zheng remained silent.

So far, the children of noble families he has come into contact with, such as Nangong Yaoyue, Liangqiu Changkong, Yuan Qianjun, and Qing Yixiao, have good character, even better than some of the children of powerful families that Gu Zheng had met before.

Of course, Gu Zheng also knew that he felt good because of his own strength, which made Yuan Qianjun and others look at him differently.

When he was in Qingshi County, he was even treated as a member of the Qingwang family.

However, after these two battles in the evening, Gu Zheng has proved himself and can make them look at him differently even without relying on his bronze elephant body.

……

"The Xie family member who followed you to the county government office has been severely injured by me. For a short period of time, they will not dare to appear again. You can rest assured."

After a moment of silence, Gu Zheng spoke.

"...Thank you, Mr. Gu." Yan Hongxue opened her eyes with gratitude in her eyes.

"You're welcome. It's the same with Brother Zhang."

Gu Zheng raised his hand, said goodbye and left.

The sources of power of the aristocratic families are different.

If you look into it more deeply, half-demons are indeed subject to the greatest restrictions.

Haven’t you seen that Zhang destroyed Yuan and Zhang beheaded Yuan, but the Zhang family, to which the two brothers belonged, has hated the Yuan family for hundreds of years.

……

The next day.

As soon as the day broke, the Daping County Government Office became bustling again. A group of people quickly washed, ate and drank, preparing to rush to farther villages and towns to evacuate the people.

But before he could go out, a loud noise suddenly came from the end of the southern sky.

A huge pillar of light shot up into the sky.

People in the county town could see it even though it was forty miles away.

After the sound, a black curtain wrapped in thick fog surged in from the south, covering the sky and the earth, submerging the mountains, rivers, fields, villages, and the entire county!

The sky, which had just been bright for a short while, suddenly became dark again.

Outside the county government office, exclamations, screams, and cries rang out from every corner, and the noise never stopped.

"What...what's going on?"

As the county magistrate, Shi Huaiying was panicked at this moment and ran to find Gu Zheng nervously.

"The situation has erupted." Gu Zheng said calmly, putting down his bowl and chopsticks, standing up, and walking out, "County Magistrate Shi, immediately summon all the constables and county soldiers, and notify the entire city that there will be a curfew for the next few days, and everyone must stay at home. The two city gates are also closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave."

"……Yes!"

Shi Huaiying took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, "I understand."

"During curfew, food and water supplies must be taken care of and replenished in a timely manner."

"Also, the constables and county soldiers must continue patrolling. Remember to bring weapons and torches when patrolling, and form a team of at least five people."

Gu Zheng said solemnly, "During this period, anyone who steals, robs, or causes trouble will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes!" Shi Huaiying replied solemnly.

In critical moments, killing is necessary.

"Bring us all those wicker baskets from yesterday."

Gu Zheng added, "Go get me a distribution map of the villages in the entire county."

"……Yes!"

Although he didn't know what Gu Zheng wanted the rattan basket and map for, Shi Huaiying still carried out his mission faithfully.

What do you need a rattan basket for?
Of course it is used to carry people!

The Qianxing Lake area has erupted. If Sun Zhenyao and his men leave the city again, they will be seeking death.

The people in the villages and towns farther away have not yet been relocated.

If these people are left alone, they will all die in the end.

Based on the principle of saving as many people as possible, Gu Zheng decided to go there in person.

Just follow the map, triple jump, jump over, and then glide back with others!

It is a bit troublesome, but it also consumes a lot of magical power.

But for now, this is all we can do.

……

Ten rattan baskets in a group, one in each hand.

Following the instructions on the map, Gu Zheng descended from the sky with a rattan basket, and went to villages one by one to evacuate the panicked villagers.

He revealed his identity as someone from the imperial court and came to lead them into the city.

Gu Zheng didn't say anything else.

Those who were willing to follow were divided into batches and placed in rattan baskets, jumping through the air and moving into the city.

Gu Zheng would not force those who were unwilling.

As for those who are weird or causing trouble, just kill them immediately.

Busy from morning to night.

Without stopping for a moment, he traveled back and forth between the village and the county town.

Only when his supernatural powers are exhausted will Gu Zheng stop, swallow the Huiyuan Pill to quickly recover his energy and take the opportunity to rest.

Sun Zhenyao, Shi Huaiying, the county soldier captain, and the county government's constable, no one knew what Gu Zheng was doing at first.

After Zhang Boshong explained the whole story, everyone was convinced and admired Gu Zheng.

This is no longer a simple act of justice or kindness.

These are great heroes and great men who save people from suffering. They can all be enshrined in memorial tablets and worshipped day and night.

Including the county magistrate Shi Huaiying.

He thought so and did it.

When the disaster just started, a carpenter was hired to carve a statue in the image of Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng, who was busy saving people, didn't care about it.

After running for a whole day, I finally saved all the people who could be saved.

Let Zhang Boshong guard the county town.

Gu Zheng changed out of his demon-suppressing armor, put on his stretchable clothes, and rushed to Thousand Star Lake without stopping.

……

I thought that after a whole day, Yuan Qianjun, Qing Yixiao and the others had already entered the venue.

When we arrived at the outskirts of Thousand Star Lake, we found a group of people gathered at the entrance, and no one went in.

"Brother Yuan, what's going on?"

After finding Yuan Qianjun, and nodding with Qing Yixiao and Qing Yimei, Gu Zheng looked at the entrance to the field connected to a small island under the dim sky, and asked in confusion, "Why don't you guys go in?"
