Chapter 90: Academy, Heart Fire, Opinion (8K Chapter)

Seventeen days.

It took Gao Jian seventeen whole days to finally carve out several paths along several major blood vessels.

Through these paths, the petrified internal organs were also found. Gao Jian was like a parasite, drilling in and out of the blood vessels and even breaking through the corpse to make a way.

During this period, he had killed four dragon blood incarnations, and the only thing he had not encountered was the kidney water dragon blood.

There is no way, after all, the kidneys are a bit far from the heart.

"The last kidney is a bit far away. If we take a detour inside the body, the construction speed will be slower." Construction worker Gao Jian is currently thinking about the construction route.

The entire dragon's corpse was coiled into the shape of a mosquito coil, so if it was farther away, it would be much faster to directly break through the outer wall and connect it in a straight line.

However, the outer wall, which is the dragon skin, is too hard.

The hardness made the construction extremely difficult, so before, even if drilling a hole in the body would be a little further, he would rather hit the weak parts in the body than directly touch the dragon's skin.

However, the kidneys were too far away, and, because the dragon was coiled up, the kidneys and Gao Jian's current target were very close to each other.

It is a long distance inside the dragon's body. Now, you can directly touch it by just breaking through two layers of dragon skin.

Gao Jian thought about it and decided to go in a straight line.

"We have to hurry." Gao Jian opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, and then coughed, and the sound of his cough was full of phlegm.

Now his tonsils are inflamed and festering, his mouth is full of ulcers, and his eyes are red and bloodshot.

How should I put it, things like Heart Fire Dragon Blood really can’t be eaten as a meal.

Gao Jian has deeply experienced the pain of taking the medicine directly without mixing it with other medicines or preparing it to remove the impetuous fire nature.

There must be a reason why professions like alchemist and pharmacist came into being.

The principle of solving the problem was contained in the song of Xuanhua Tongmen Avenue, but unfortunately, a good cook cannot cook without rice. There was nothing under the water for twenty miles, and he had no idea what to do.

Gao Jian continued to drag his body, slowly chiseling the wall bit by bit.

The progress of chiseling the dragon skin was very slow, and Gao Jian was not in good health at the moment, so he could only chisel slowly with the tip of the knife.

For this, I can only say that it is all thanks to the rusty knife.

Although dragon skin is hard, the tip of the rusty knife is obviously harder.

If you don't have the right tools, it's like using a piece of wood to cut a steel plate. Even if you break the wood, it may not damage the steel plate at all.

But with a rusty knife, it is like using a tungsten steel drill to cut a steel plate. Although it is very hard, it can only leave a small scratch at a time, but little by little, it will eventually drill through.

As long as you can chisel out a hole, you can find a way to tear it open, and the difficulty of opening will become easier.

This is called uneven stress distribution, which makes it difficult to resist deformation caused by shear force.

Knowledge is power.

Gao Jian thought so and finally chiseled through the dragon's skin.

After seventeen days, he finally came out from the inside of the corpse. As long as he could break through the dragon skin on the other side, he would be able to connect to the five internal organs.

He walked out of the dragon's body and looked up.

then……

He saw an old turtle.

The old turtle floated outside the dark shadows, his eyes glowing red, and in this light, he and Gao Jian looked at each other.

"Hey... Prime Minister Gui, the last time we met was the last time, I didn't expect to meet you again." Gao Jian pulled the corner of his mouth open, the sore at the corner of his mouth cracked, and bleeding while he spoke.

The red light in Gui Cheng's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he said, "Captain Gao, so you are here. Don't worry, I will find a way to rescue you right away."

The tone was calm, but there was also uncontrollable astonishment in it.

He is alive!

Still alive?! And even drilling holes in the Dragon King's corpse?!?
Even though the Dragon King's corpse had been petrified and became much more brittle, hitting it with ordinary refined gold and black iron would be just like poking a steel plate with a leaf. Unless you could throw the leaf at the speed of a missile, it would be impossible to cause any damage.

That means the knife on this person is harder than the remains of the Dragon King.

Moreover, how could he survive for seventeen days amidst the resentment of the dark shadows all around him? !
Did he have a treasure on him that could protect his soul? Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why he could persist in moving around in it.

Even he was not immune to those dark shadows.

Wait...look at his current state...

The red light in the old turtle's eyes became more and more intense, and he could clearly see Gao Jian's current condition.

Sores appear at the corners of the mouth and there is phlegm in the breathing.

Liver fire is inflamed, the cheekbones are red, floating and rapid pulse indicates superficial heat, sinking and rapid pulse indicates internal heat, rapid and rapid pulse indicates lung ringworm, rapid and rapid pulse indicates lung atrophy, the liver fire is strong and the wood qi is weak, there is dead blood and phlegm, the liver fire goes straight to the top of the head, pulling the neck and cheeks, all of which are red.

The old turtle knew at a glance that this was because the heart fire was too strong, burning the wood energy of the liver, becoming liver fire. Fire overcomes metal, and then burns the metal energy of the lungs, causing excessive toxins in the body, heavy breathing, and excessive phlegm. The five elements have seriously deviated and are about to become unbalanced.

Both heart fire and liver fire are strong, and both water and gold are deficient, which is a clear sign that the vital energy has been defeated.

Besides, Gao Jian should be unable to eat now.

Liver fire attacks the stomach, and wood insults the earth, which is called the evil. The stomach becomes withered and no longer functions, leaving only a thin thread of opening, which is blocked by phlegm and blood stasis. Food cannot go down. Even if you force yourself to eat, you will vomit it out again. The five internal organs are all affected by the fire, so when food cannot enter, the five internal organs are all exhausted.

In this state, he won't live long, maybe a dozen days at most.

But under what circumstances would he become like this?
Without a doubt, the old turtle only knew one possibility.

This made him spit out a huge bubble of air and roared in anger: "You bastard! You actually ate the flesh and blood of the Dragon Lord!?"

He had always been able to endure his anger, but at this moment he couldn't hold back his anger anymore!
"Hey...everyone is dead, and the dead are not as important as the living. Do you know how to avoid danger in an emergency? Prime Minister Gui won't mind, right? Or do you want to break in and beat me?" Gao Jian waved his hand, looked up at Prime Minister Gui with a smile.

Hearing this, the red light in the old turtle's eyes slowly faded.

Of course he couldn't go down and make suggestions.

That layer of black shadow was formed by resentment. If he rushed into it directly, even he would be in trouble.

So here comes the question…

How did Gao Jian get in?
"I'm a little curious, Captain Gao, what on earth is protecting your soul? You just broke in like that, but it seems to have no effect. It's really strange." The old turtle continued in a flat tone.

Gao Jian raised his hand and gave him a middle finger: "I won't give it to you even if I die. If you have the guts, come down and get it, old turtle. It has come to this, why are you still pretending? If there was no black fog, you would have come down and slapped me to death a long time ago, right?"

Gui Cheng couldn't understand Gao Jian's gesture, but he knew it was definitely not a sign of respect.

However, the old turtle was short of breath but patient. Although he had just lost his composure, he still maintained his composure: "Captain Gao, you are joking. You are a distinguished guest of the Dragon Palace. You are in dire straits now. I will save you, but I can't do it now. Please be patient, Captain Gao. I will come to save you when I find a way."

Gao Jian put down his hand and said, "Old turtle, you still have time to get out of here. You can't kill me. I will open this place and the dragon energy will surge into the sky. Even a blind man can see it. If you make a move again, the entire Dragon Palace will be buried with you."

Of course he was bluffing, but he knew that people like Lao Gui were easiest to bluff.

The empty city plan could not scare Ma Chao, but it could scare off Sima Yi.

"Open this place? Why open it? Do you think you can just break through this layer of resentment?"

"You'll know soon whether you can do it or not," Gao Jian said, completely ignoring the other party and began to chisel the dragon's skin.

The tip of the knife stabbed fiercely at the dragon's skin, causing the old turtle's eyes to tremble.

This guy——!
A small dent was dug into the dragon's hide.

Gao Jian didn't stop at all and continued digging the hole.

The old turtle let out another breath.

It’s okay, even if he doesn’t go in, he still has a way.

"Captain Gao, seeing that you have sores on your mouth, I know that your anger has spread to your liver. Now your liver is burning with anger. It seems that even if you have a magic weapon to protect your soul, the whispers of resentment are still effective against you. That's why you speak ill of me, and that's why you are so impatient and want to find a way out."

Excessive heart fire affects not only the body but also the temperament becomes irritable and angry.

Gao Jian's behavior at this moment just fits the state of being in a state of intense anger, and his mentality has become unstable.

The old turtle found the flaw.

As long as Gao Jian's mind was completely consumed by anger, he would be affected by the resentment and burned to ashes by his own anger and anger without having to go down himself.

So, he said on it: "Captain Gao, I already know what you did in Cangzhou. You did so many good things and got rid of so much evil. It can be seen that you are a good person."

Gao Jian didn't answer, but just kept digging the dragon skin.

"You know what? I've already caught that Simeng girl. She was the one who told me about your whereabouts, but you probably won't blame her. After all, you know she was forced to do that."

"If I push her again, will you be angry?" said the old turtle.

Gao Jian raised his head and looked at the old turtle.

The other party wants to provoke his anger.

When anger rises in your heart, your blood boils, and you get really mad, it will only make you burn more fiercely, and even affect your mood, to the point of being swallowed up by the whispers of resentment, or even getting angry to death.

A complete conspiracy.

As long as Gao Jian is angry, the old turtle wins.

"Captain Gao, you are a young man with a hot temper. Unlike an old turtle like me, I can tolerate anything. I will tear the things you care about into pieces in front of you, and you can only watch me do this without getting angry."

"Don't be angry, Captain Gaokao...you'll get so angry you'll kill yourself."

The old turtle said this and began to float up.

Gao Jian is a good person, and good people are the easiest to get angry because there are too many things they can't stand, too many tragedies they can't bear to see, and too many injustices they can't tolerate.

That's why they are good people.

Come on, have a good idea, should you swallow your anger in silence and ruin your mood, or should you get angry and eventually be consumed by your own anger?

It's your choice.

The old turtle floated to the surface, leaving Gao Jian alone in the mountains under the water.

The black shadow surrounded the mountains. The old turtle couldn't get in, and Gao Jian naturally couldn't get out.

He could already imagine what the old turtle was going to do.

But, I can’t get out.

Just with this, Gao Jian's anger was already burning in his heart!
He has never been a calm person.

"Calm down, calm down." Gao Jian took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down as much as possible.

Must hurry.

He no longer cared about the churning of blood and energy and intensified the digging.

The faster you dig, the better your chances.

Gao Jian was digging hard, and the old turtle above had already come to the surface of the water.

Dozens of little turtles rushed over and asked, "Ancestor? Solved?"

"Half of the problem is solved. Go search the area to find any little monsters, humans, or anything else. As long as they are alive and intelligent, they will be fine."

"What are you searching for?" asked the little turtle.

The old turtle shook his head. "Just do it. Search for those pitiful people. The more pitiful the better, whether their parents are both dead or they've suffered a man-made disaster. The more miserable and tragic the better. Look at the young children and orphans, the parents and elders who volunteered to come here for their children. It's best if they're filled with resentment and feel wronged."

"Catch all these people here. They will be of great use to me."

"Obey the ancestor's orders." The little turtles didn't understand, but since the ancestor had given the order, they just had to do it.

As for the rest, they don't need to think about it.

A group of little turtles dispersed and went to catch people.

poor guy?

There are too many around, no need to be picky, just find a populated place, and there are pitiful people everywhere.

This is not the territory of the Divine Dynasty. All living beings in the Divine Dynasty, whether they are human or demon, live happily.

The little turtles left quickly. Some found the mermaid tribe, some found settlements of loach and clam women, and some came to some human settlements by the lake.

The human settlements living outside the Divine Dynasty are also very valuable assets to the Dragon Palace.

That’s right, assets.

Humans are naturally primates, and their medicines are precious without the need for refining, so it is obvious that they will be attacked by everyone.

However, precisely because they are born primates and are good at cultivation, there are many strong people, and all kinds of powerful people are flying everywhere. Many sects, countries, immortal gates, and caves each have their own shelters. There are even behemoths like the Qiyun Divine Dynasty that cannot be provoked at all.

In this case, cannibalism is always a risky thing.

Therefore, for a force like Baishanjiang Dragon Palace, it is naturally necessary to raise some human beings who are outside the borders of the Divine Dynasty and have no power to protect them.

For this purpose, the Dragon Palace specially built a circle of land around the lake, with a lakeshore line that was probably several hundred miles long, specifically for the human race to reproduce.

This kind of reproduction requires great skills, because the higher the level of cultivation of the human race, the stronger the effect of the medicine.

This is actually no different from monsters. The higher the level of cultivation of the monster, the more valuable it is as material in the hands of humans.

To make the precious medicine more valuable, they needed to cultivate, but they couldn't be so strong that they'd escape. This subtlety was a skill that required careful study. The customs and personalities of the humans raised by different monsters varied, as did their tastes and effects.

As for taste, naturally the children of the aristocratic families in the Divine Dynasty and the disciples of the great immortal sects find it the most delicious, but unfortunately few people dare to eat it.

Several small turtles arrived at the shoreline.

A water yaksha is guarding this place, watching over these human beings.

The little turtles came ashore, transformed into human form, and bowed to the patrolling Yaksha: "General Yaksha, we are here on the orders of the Turtle Prime Minister to capture a few people. They will be of great use."

"So it was Turtle Prime Minister's order. Do you have any proof?"

The little turtles presented it immediately.

"Go." After looking at it, Yaksha nodded and looked at the target.

That was a college.

Several little turtles entered the human village.

But in the human village, there were bursts of loud reading sounds coming from it.

There is actually a seaside academy here.

You can see that there is a teacher in the academy who is reading and teaching the young people how to read.

The young people below started writing quickly and began to record immediately.

The class continued. The sound of the wind rustling the palm trees by the sea made the leaves rustle like the sound of pens. The sounds of reading in the other courtyards and the shouts of people practicing martial arts together formed the background of the academy.

It is not a big deal to get up and dance upon hearing the cock-crow, it is just the time when a young man is studying.

But I saw a middle-aged teacher, wearing a long gown, standing in front of many students, saying:

"Today we talk about 'gentlemen'. In ancient times, gentlemen were knowledgeable enough to open up things and accomplish tasks, and had the moral principles to govern the great classics. They would think of shouldering the heavy responsibility of the world without selfishness, and would improve themselves. They would order things as rituals, publicize them as music, promulgate them as rules and regulations, and implement them as politics and punishments. Their civilized governance would spread to all corners of the world, and their benefits would spread to the infinite."

A student raised his hand and asked, "Teacher, is what we are learning the way of a gentleman? After we have learned it, can we shoulder the heavy responsibility of the world?"

The teacher above nodded and said: "Yes, as long as you study hard and have a righteous spirit, you will be able to shoulder the responsibility of the world, pass on culture, etiquette and music, educate all living beings, and put an end to wars."

"However, you are still young and need to start learning to read. You must be serious. This morning, I will teach you this passage. Read it with me: 'Learning comes from the heart. The heart is the master of the body, and the ears and eyes depend on the heart. If the mind is not in learning, then the listening will not be able to hear, and the reading will not be able to see. If you want to practice, you must first correct your heart, and then the principles and righteousness will enter.'"

"Learning comes from the heart! The heart is the master of the body!"

"If your mind is not on learning, then you will not hear anything even if you are reciting!"

The students below immediately followed suit and looked quite serious.

However, at this moment, a few little turtles happened to walk over and stopped at the door of the academy.

They have successfully transformed, so they look no different from humans, except that they are slightly hunchbacked, just like old turtles.

The teacher took a look at the turtles.

Then he stopped and walked among the desks, saying to the students, "Read it ten times, copy it ten times, and give it to Mr. Wang for inspection. You don't have to wait for me to come back."

After saying these words, he placed the jade pendant, paper and pen on the desk, walked out the door, came outside, and faced the little turtles.

He closed the door gently and walked away on his own.

The little turtles followed and then said, "Mr. Zhou, we're here to ask you to choose two candidates for us. They should be of tragic character, preferably with both parents dead."

The teacher known as Mr. Zhou did not stop but continued to walk to the back.

You can see that behind the coast, there is a human settlement surrounding the academy, and there seems to be at least a thousand people.

However, he did not go towards the settlement, but walked towards the other side of the academy.

Several little turtles frowned, chased after him, and said to him: "Mr. Zhou, we respect you as a sir, and hope you won't make things difficult for us."

"I'll go with you, but you have to wait for me for a quarter of an hour, okay?" Mr. Zhou said this without even turning his head.

The little turtles looked at each other.

what?
The man in front of me is the leader of this settlement. If nothing happens, Dragon Palace will treat him with courtesy and will not be too harsh on him. If I just take him away like this, will I be punished?

"Mr. Zhou, you don't need to go in person. You just need to pick a few children. It would be best if they have lost both parents but are still determined and study hard." The little turtles said hurriedly.

Mr. Zhou's academy is a unique way of teaching. The people who come out of it are all upright and have the character of scholars. They are quite good and are loved by many important figures in the Dragon Palace. If he dies, it will be hard for me and others to say anything.

"It's my turn now." Mr. Zhou said without turning his head: "I meet all the conditions you are looking for, right?"

"Mr. Zhou..." The little turtles wanted to persuade him again.

Mr. Zhou suddenly stopped and said, "Either you take me away, or no one of you can take me away."

The little turtles' faces also turned gloomy.

They looked at each other and said, "In that case, please come with us, Mr. Zhou."

Mr. Zhou walked all the way to another room in the academy, where a man younger than him was resting and seemed to be copying calligraphy.

"Senior Brother." The man stood up quickly when he saw Mr. Zhou coming.

"I'm leaving the affairs of the academy to you. I've assigned homework to them. You'll be responsible for checking it later. Please keep these things safe. Remember, no matter what happens, don't forget your original intention." As he spoke, he took out a book that had almost turned yellow from his sleeve pocket.

It was obvious that the book had been read many times, but it had also been carefully maintained, so it was not in tatters. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be two and a half volumes of the Four Classics of the Divine Dynasty Official School, as well as a book of annotations.

In the Divine Dynasty, these books are not worth much. After all, there are no cultivation methods in them. They are just some philosophical texts that can be bought for just a few dozen coins.

"Senior Brother, you——!?" The man looked at the book, saw the little turtle and Mr. Zhou behind him, and immediately realized something.

Mr. Zhou held out his hand to stop the other person from speaking, and said calmly, "Don't try to persuade me. I have personally sent away 764 people. Now that things have come to this, it is my turn."

"I had no choice but to do that...if my senior brother was gone!" The man wanted to say something else.

But Mr. Zhou interrupted him and continued, "There is no such thing as being forced in this world. If you are a gentleman, you would rather sacrifice your life than do anything unjust. I am an accomplice to the tiger, but I can't deceive myself in the end."

"I just hope that if you have the chance to return to the Divine Dynasty, could you please go and see what the Shanlu Academy looks like for me? I only picked up these books and have never been to the Divine Dynasty. If you can go, please help me see what it says: 'With sufficient food and clothing, one knows honor and disgrace; with full granaries, one knows etiquette. Although there are wars and floods and droughts, the country has no worries and the people are ultimately safe.' What does it really mean? See how truly admirable a gentleman from the academy is."

The man didn't say anything, just stared at the little turtles.

Mr. Zhou put down everything on his body, leaving only his long gown, and turned around to leave with the little turtles.

Behind him, the sound of reading can still be heard in the academy. Next to the academy are farmlands, with fishing nets drying on the edge of the fields. The villagers are working, thinking about when to send their children to the academy to study and grow up to be promising people.

The little turtles each led their own people and headed towards the old turtle.

Half a day passed, and dozens of little turtles, also leading dozens of people, returned to this place.

There were men and women, young and old, humans and monsters. The youngest looked seven or eight years old, and the oldest was over fifty.

The little turtles lined up and told the old turtle about their situation.

"I brought a loving grandfather and grandson. Old Ancestor, let them choose one for themselves in front of you and watch them quarrel with each other for the first place. Should that be okay?"

"The one I brought with me was an orphan. He came here on his own initiative. He was willing to come as long as he had a meal. However, once he's full, he probably won't want to die. His struggling and pleading at that time should also meet the requirements of the ancestor."

"Grandfather, this is to replace our pregnant daughter-in-law, so the mother-in-law who came here on her own initiative, can it be used?"

"I found this in one of the merman settlements. She practiced her dance skills desperately, hoping to be chosen for the Dragon Palace. She said she would risk her life to perform a dance for the Turtle Prime Minister. Does this count?"

"This clam girl wanted to give me her son and asked me to spare her life. I thought about it and decided to capture her and leave her son behind. Is this considered miserable?"

"Grandfather... I'm bringing Mr. Zhou from the academy, and he insisted on coming over, saying it's either him or he can leave... Is that okay?"

Each little turtle reported on his or her work situation.

I don't know what the place they passed by looked like, nor do I know where they found these people.

Seeing this, the old turtle nodded and said, "Very good, very good. Everyone, please get on my back. You are all benefactors of the Dragon Palace. Now the guests of the Dragon Palace are in trouble and we need your help to rescue them. After this, you will all be rewarded generously by the Dragon Palace."

The old turtle said this, not caring whether they understood or not, and just asked them to get on his back.

Some people didn't dare to go, some seemed to know something, and some didn't move. I don't know whether they didn't react or were at a loss, and they didn't move at all.

Seeing this, the little turtles hurriedly drove these people onto the turtle's back. Under the power of the little turtles, they had no choice but to be driven onto the turtle's back with different expressions.

Only one person took the initiative to go up.

That's Mr. Zhou.

He was the first to go up, with a look of relief on his face.

There are four classics for studying in the Divine Dynasty, but he has only read two and a half of them. He thinks this is the reason.

I didn't read enough books, so I did something like this.

He became an accomplice to the tiger, cultivating blood food for the Dragon Palace, and comforted himself by saying that there was "nothing he could do about it."

Is there really nothing we can do?

He actually didn't know if it was.

However, the books of sages are in my heart and I cannot deceive myself after all.

Long Gong was invincible, and now he was only at the first level, although he didn't know how he broke through to the first level, because he actually had no method of cultivation.

The Dragon Palace did provide them with a method of cultivation, but that method was not suitable for him. He did not have enough talent and could not practice it. In fact, he had no idea how to break through the first level, so he just read books and pondered over and over again.

So, one day, he suddenly had an epiphany and figured out many things. As he figured out these things, his mind opened up. After that, his mind became quick and he thought of many truths.

He looked at the many people around him and shook his head.

There are dozens of people in the second realm among those little turtles, not to mention the old turtle under their feet, who is Baishan Jianggui Cheng.

Minister Turtle, what kind of power is that? I dare not even think about it. There is no chance of resistance at all.

But that’s okay…

Dying like this is a kind of relief and a sense of ease.

As for what Gui Cheng said, he had long since stopped believing it. Every year, the Dragon Palace would come to him to take away about a hundred people, and he had never seen any come back.

Gui Cheng didn't care whether they believed it or not. He just finished talking to himself, then took a breath and dived into the water.

His turtle shell was covered with a thin film, which just contained everyone else inside so that they would not be affected by the outside world. As for the mermaids and clam girls, there was no need to worry about them. Just let them lie paralyzed on it. They would not die for a while anyway, but those humans would really die.

Soon, Gui Cheng fell down.

Mr. Zhou felt some whispers in his ears...but he couldn't hear them clearly.

These whispers seemed to be blocked by the barrier on the turtle shell.

You can see some strange tentacles floating up in the dark water and sliding over the barrier of the turtle shell.

The gurgling sound from the bottom of the water, the red light in the darkness, and the black tentacles sliding around all brought about a suffocating feeling of fear.

Including Mr. Zhou, most of these people are just mortals. Mr. Zhou is considered to have the highest cultivation among them, so when faced with this situation, everyone's crying and sorrow were dispelled.

In the face of fear, no sorrow seems to matter.

Only Mr. Zhou didn't care, because he knew from the beginning that after following them, there would be no way to survive, and they could not resist the Dragon Palace.

Thinking this way, it seemed that there was nothing to be afraid of, so compared to other people around him, he seemed to be strolling leisurely, as calm as ever.

The black fog in front of them became thicker and thicker. They could only see the red light in front of the old turtle. The tentacles of the black fog also began to become crazy. Even the old turtle felt a little stressed and would choose to dodge from time to time.

Every time they dodged, the people on their backs would be shaken violently, causing them to scream and hug each other, as if trying to comfort each other.

"Everyone, don't worry." Mr. Zhou spoke at this time.

He said to the others, "Prime Minister Turtle will not let anything happen to us. At least... he will protect us until we meet that noble man."

Hearing this, Gui Cheng suddenly turned his head and said, "Mr. Zhou, I have always heard that the blood food you have is very flavorful. Many people like the taste of righteousness. I didn't expect that you also have a scholarly air."

"Prime Minister Gui, you're joking." Mr. Zhou shook his head.

"Aren't you afraid?" asked Gui Cheng.

"At this point, what is there to be afraid of?" Mr. Zhou said, "Prime Minister Turtle, after all, that glowing mountain is your goal, right?"

"Well, you can take a good look, someone will come to rescue you." said Gui Cheng.

"Save us?" Mr. Zhou frowned.

He used to have the illusion that someone would come to rescue them, but now things have come to this.

"Yes, save you and then die in my hands, or don't save you and die in his own hands."

"Look, that's the man. His name is Gao Jian. He's from the Qiyun Divine Dynasty. He's a good man." Gui Cheng turned around and looked down.

When Mr. Zhou heard the word "Shenchao", he was in a trance and couldn't help looking down.

Right below, illuminated by the old turtle's red light, there was indeed a person.

He was wearing official uniform and had many sores on his body, especially near his lips. His face was red and he was constantly chiseling something on the mountain wall with a knife.

Is this person from the Divine Dynasty?

At the same time, the person below noticed the red light and looked up.
