Chapter 217 Target! Divine Capital!
Gao Jian was a little surprised, but at the same time he felt it was quite reasonable.

Dansha is indeed very smart. After just one encounter, she understood what Gao Jian wanted to show him.

Yes, this is Gao Jian’s plan, and it is what he just thought of.

Since the immortals need a constant supply of things to fill the numbness brought about by their long lives, then... as long as society continues to develop, can they maintain this state?
"Dansha, you also knew what the situation in Cangzhou was like before, right? And this situation has been maintained for thousands of years. Over the past thousand years, the entire outer city of Cangzhou has hardly changed, and the changes in the world of cultivators have been minimal."

"Look at the changes in the outer city. If they can keep changing like this forever, can you always participate in this young mentality?" Gao Jian stretched out his hand, grabbed the cinnabar, and said so.

"Will it always develop like this?" Dansha was stunned.

Although she realized what Gao Jian wanted to say, when he said it, Dansha found that she was still a little too conservative.

What Dansha had thought before was... the original outer city had actually been maintaining its previous state of blood sacrifice and conservatism, and the entire city was shrouded in oppression.

In addition to this original suppression, Gao Jianjie released the vitality of the outer city, so that this vitality can create more value and provide the stimulation needed by the immortals.

But what she didn't expect was that Gao Jian's ideas were much more radical than this.

Invest all the material stimulation needed by the immortals into the development of the city itself, and then let the entire city itself become the source of "freshness" for the immortals.

does it work?
Maybe...it really works?
But I’m not sure about cinnabar either.

So she shook her head: "I'm not sure if it will work..."

"It's just a concept now, don't take it too seriously. Give Cangzhou's outer city some time. However, apart from these, have you seen the Zuo family's grave?" Gao Jian pointed around.

The Zuo family’s grave is the entire outer city of Cangzhou.

In the surrounding workshops, you can see things like scissors, pots, farming tools, etc. that are about to be completed.

Facing the bright morning light, in front of the weaving workshop, the exquisite cloths woven by the women workers are hung on the racks next to them. This is a newly opened shop, so you can see a cloth rack next to it to show off the profits. On it are various ornaments such as birds and beasts woven from cloth, and tassels hang under the eaves.

The embroidery is excellent, with people, mountains, flowers, beasts, and gods forming a dazzling gallery waiting for people to buy.

The lights in the inn were still on, but the voices of another group of vendors coming to sell goods urged the inn to open its doors.

The trained parrots, falcons and other pets sold in the falconry shop had been awakened by the human voice and began to chirp.

The brisk walking vegetable farmers, the open bathhouse, and the aroma from the medicine mat are mixing together in the bathhouse.

The entire outer city of Cangzhou has regained its vitality in just a few days.

The vitality that had been suppressed burst out at this moment.

It is clearly winter, but it is not cold because everyone has enough food. Since there is enough food and it is not cold, it is natural for people to go out to work to supplement the family income, or go out to play and relax.

"You see, I didn't actually do anything. I just made sure they had enough food to eat in the winter. Once they were full and warm, they could burst out with such energy in a few days and turn the outer city into this."

"In a few days, the Zuo family will be completely forgotten."

People from other cities have bad memories.

The Zuo family themselves have talked about this matter. Just a little thing can make them forget what happened before. There is no memory in the outer city. Maybe some people remember it, but soon, the whole city will forget these things.

Originally, this feature was used by the Zuo family to deal with Gao Jian.

And now, Gao Jian uses this characteristic on the Zuo family.

Soon, the Zuo family will be forgotten. After thousands of years of tyranny, in the end, nothing will be left. This will be the last handful of soil on the Zuo family’s grave.

No one will miss the Zuo family... Oh, no, there will still be people, such as those corpse collectors.

But soon, even the corpse collectors themselves will be forgotten by the city.

The outer city of Cangzhou is very vibrant, but unfortunately this vitality also carries a cruel undertone. In a large city with a population of tens of millions, no matter what happens, it will be quickly submerged. Even something as severe as the destruction of the Zuo family would not leave much impact here.

If Gao Jian disappeared one day, the outer city of Cangzhou would also quickly forget about him.

This is how big cities are, indifference is inevitable. There are too many people, and it is impossible for everyone to remember those things. Once someone can't remember, forgetting will spread quickly among the crowd, and ultimately only a few people will remember those things.

Dansha nodded, but she gave an unexpected reaction to Gao Jian. She rolled her hair in boredom. "Although this is indeed the Zuo family's grave, I don't like this kind of grave. Can you take me to see their real grave? For example, their previous garden or something?"

"Don't you like this?"

"Of course I don't like it. It's vague and meaningless." Dansha said without hesitation.

This made Gao Jian a little embarrassed.

He didn't know what to say for a moment, but he nodded and turned back to walk towards the inner city.

This time he was even faster, without any pretense, and sped straight to the Zuo family's original garden.

This place has become a ruin, the aftermath of a war.

Dansha cheered and then transformed into his original form.

A real silver-red dragon suddenly appeared, with thunder coming out of its mouth.

Then with a loud bang, the ruins were plowed again with great precision!
This scared the people around.

However, when they saw that it was a real dragon and looked at Gao Jian next to them, everyone consciously moved away.

When Gao Jian saw Dansha having fun on the ruins, there was a hint of helplessness and alienation in his eyes.

It seems that Gao Jian's plan has failed.

To be fair, he didn't like people with Dansha's personality, and could even say that he was a little disgusted. Although she was willing to help mortals at the beginning, it seemed that this help didn't mean much to her now.

In fact, it is understandable that immortals, powerful practitioners, and true dragons who are born with great power would show such an attitude in this regard.

Real dragons just don't like the changes in mortals. They can't rely on mortals to provide the stimulation for their longevity?
Gao Jian made a silent judgment in his heart.

While waiting over there, after Dansha completely razed the ruins to the ground, she did not fall down, but flew into the sky instead.

All you see is the dragon's shadow tumbling, its silver scales shining like the sun, and its body rising high into the sky.

The claws grabbed lightning, strong winds swirled, the dragon's mouth opened slightly, and as it breathed in and out, white mist surged like waves, suddenly wind and thunder arose, the sea of clouds rolled, it soared into the sky, and its tail swept the sky.

After a while, thick clouds covered the fields, and gentle rain fell, as if the rain master played the harp and the wind master played the zither. At first, the rain was as fine as silk, and then it became heavy.

Raindrops fly obliquely, hitting rocks and bursting into pearls; the thunder chariot rolls and crushes the heavy shadows.

The dragon appeared from the depths of the dark clouds, and the rain fell in abundance. The grass and trees in the wilds looked up, and the scorched earth in the wilderness was moistened again. Finally, the clear sky broke through the clouds, and the dragon hid in the abyss. Only rainbows crossed the sky, and the fragrance of rain filled the fields. Gao Jian stared at the sky intently. This was... praying for rain.

No, not just praying for rain.

This is the 'accumulated water transport'. Only a little bit of this water transport will fall at this time, and most of the rest will be accumulated in the sky in the form of white mist clouds just now.

When it is necessary to pray for rain, the rainmaker no longer needs to use his own cultivation strength to condense water vapor. Instead, he can directly mobilize the water vapor and dragon thunder in the rain clouds, just like releasing water directly into a reservoir.

To be honest, doing this... is like providing timely assistance.

The Zuo family had just been destroyed, and Cangzhou's water transportation, wind, rain, thunder and lightning were actually in a relatively scarce state. Without the Zuo family's help and the accumulation of incense and offerings, the hundreds of gods in Cangzhou wanted to handle these things on their own. Although it was not impossible, it would certainly be very difficult.

And now, a real dragon made such a save.

Gao Jian could feel that judging from Dansha's current condition, doing this kind of thing was quite difficult for her.

But it was obvious that she was happy doing it.

After a while, Cinnabar fell to the ground, sweating profusely. It was obvious that what she had just done was not easy. For her, it might take a long time to accumulate strength to do it next time.

She fanned herself and said, "Okay, we're done. Now they're really dead! Shall we go back to eat? Or should we find a place to sit? I'm a little tired. Shall we go to the lake? Broken Dragon Gorge is pretty good."

But Gao Jian did not respond to her words, but asked: "Dansha, why do you... want it to rain? This is difficult, right? Besides, I remember that you were targeted by the Zuo family because of the rain before."

"Why do you do this? It's weird, right? You just acted like you don't care about these things, right?" Gao Jian asked with some confusion.

Looking at Gao Jian, Dansha looked puzzled.

Is it because they had previously communicated at Shenguan, so the communication was so smooth?

Why is it that when it comes to communicating with words here, even Dansha, who is inefficient, feels a little uncomfortable? Why didn’t I realize that Gao Jian likes to tell riddles so much before?

Dansha was very confused by this. She looked at Gao Jian and said, "You are so weird. I always feel that you are timid... I just wanted to do it, so I did it. Gao Jian, weren't you very cool before? You went to Baishanjiang Dragon Palace on a whim and rescued me. Why are you hesitating and thinking so much now?"

Takami was stunned for a moment.

It seems...it's true. He has been thinking about it more and more recently.

He even took the initiative to postpone his idea of going to the Divine Capital, just to do more in Cangzhou.

"Ha... So that's why I suddenly felt so awkward talking to you. It turns out it's because we were the same kind of people back then." Gao Jian suddenly reached out and grabbed Dansha.

Dansha's cheeks turned slightly red, but she didn't avoid him. Instead, she came closer and looked at Gao Jian's face.

Gao Jian was unaware of this because he suddenly realized some problems.

He was right before, Dansha really didn't care much about those things.

However, even if she didn't care about these, she would still do those good things, just like before, she was ambushed because she trusted the Zuo family and took the initiative to make it rain.

She helps others not because she cares about them, but because she is simple and straightforward and thinks doing these things is a good thing.

It's not about doing good deeds out of 'good intentions'.

I just want to do it, there is no reason. I don’t sympathize with the weak, and I don’t like to empathize with others, but I just like to do these things.

what is this?
If some people are "unconsciously evil," like babies who tear off the wings of butterflies or step on ants to death, they do evil things unconsciously, then Cinnabar is just the opposite.

Unconscious kindness.

She didn't have that much pity for those mortals, and she had no interest in sympathy, but she just liked doing these things.

She is just willing to trust and do these things, even if there is actually no benefit.

Her trust was betrayed by the Zuo family, which led to Dansha's caution when she first met Gao Jian.

This was probably the first time that Dansha was let down. No wonder she seemed timid when they first met, and kept saying something like "My trust is as great as that of a giant croaker."

Fortunately, Gao Jian did not let her down the second time.

"Hey?!" Dansha pushed Gao Jian: "Why are you stunned again?"

Gao Jian let go of his hand, suddenly hugged the back of his head, and looked up at the sky: "Haha, it's nothing, I just know why things are weird between us."

"What?" Dansha was puzzled.

"Nothing, it's just that we are a bit alike, we both do these things because we like them. I thought too much and forgot why I did it in the first place. By the way, Dansha, just forget about the Zuo family's affairs. I'm going to the capital of the gods. You came all the way to see me. Do you want to go with me?"

"Sure! I've wanted to visit the Divine Capital for a long time!" Dansha nodded immediately when he heard that they were going to the Divine Capital!

I have wanted to go to the capital for a long time.

"Then let's just set off and don't think about anything else." Gao Jian said, and immediately prepared to set off!
Yeah, he figured it out.

Originally, he was against the Zuo family and was entangled with these things, but in fact... his purpose was the same as Dansha's.

Without giving it too much thought, in this sense, Gao Jian discovered that his motivation was actually the same as Dansha's at the beginning.

If that's the case, why worry about it now?
Let’s go!

Gao Jian quickly returned to the Demon Suppression Division's camp and left a letter for Sima.

Then he went to the horseman and took the dragon away.

Then, I packed my luggage.

Make sure you have everything.

Then let’s go!

--------

At this moment, in the inner city of Cangzhou, Shu Jian suddenly sneezed.

Why do you sneeze? It's warm in the inner city...

I feel warm and want to sleep.

Gao Jian said that he would leave in a few days, and he would probably call me when he leaves, right?
He doesn't look like an unreliable person, so he would probably call me.
