Chapter 303: Settle in

Tian Xian settled the villagers on the border of the Shalit Empire, on a land mixed with dirt and sand.

The sand firebird on the border of the Shalit Empire fled back, and there was nothing Tianxian could do about it, and it was unrealistic to track it in an environment like the desert.

And when the Shalit Empire will react to this matter is unpredictable, and what Tian Xian can do now is to settle these homeless people as much as possible.

Under the guidance of the evil eye, Tian Xian around this area at intervals was like the power of the flame of the evil eye injected under the ground, opening up the flame vein path on the ground, although Tian Xian did not understand this very well, but the temperature around him did drop after doing this qiē.

Just like the evil eye said, these unnatural earth-centered fire breaths returned to the ground along the leylines, and the ground naturally became cooler.

After the temperature is barely acceptable, the remaining problems are food and water.

This is the edge of the desert, there are some forest belts of trees, although sparse, but green, after turning over a few hillsides, you can also see the lush mountain forest, if you are experienced, you can always find some food that barely fills your stomach.

But the only problem is the water!

In the heat of such a desert edge, without water, they could not last even a day, and those villagers had only been here for half a day, and now they were already so hot that they could not move.

Looking at the vast desert, I couldn't help but be at a loss for a while, where to find water? If it was in the chaotic street close to the Longyuan Empire, there was still a well. In this place, there is now yellow sand everywhere, not to mention water, not even moist land can be found.

"Now, are you trying to find a source of water?"

Tian Xian was helpless, and a very cautious voice suddenly came from behind him.

Looking back, it was Xiang who was standing behind him a little nervously, and nodded idly, "Indeed, but such a place." I'm afraid there is no water at all. ”

Kata looked back at the surrounding woods. In an affirmative tone, he said, "No! there must be a water source around here!"

Tian Xian was stunned, "Why?"

"Although the climate on the plateau is not as unique as here, it is actually very harsh, and food and water are scarce. In these places with harsh climates. Tall plants that can still survive. It must be supported by water veins, and you can see that although the trees here are not growing well, they have no intention of withering. It must have been with plenty of water underground. ”

Tianxian couldn't help but light up when he heard this, "Xiang! You are so staked! You actually understand this!"

Xiang's cheeks flushed suddenly, "No...... Xiaosheng is just, just experienced, so he knows this, and he can't count it ......."

"Where's the water?" Tian Xian took her hand and looked at her expectantly, "Can you find a specific location? If we can, we'll dig a well." ”

"Hey, what's wrong with you, Xiang?" Tianxian suddenly felt that Xiang's face was very red, as if it had been cooked, "Aren't you used to the climate here? By the way, you still have some injuries on your body that have not healed, you should rest now! Don't move, let me touch your head!"

Tian Xian was about to touch Xiang's forehead to determine her situation, but was unceremoniously opened by a hand.

"Dead little ghost, don't do anything to the girl!" Dolma walked out from behind Xiang's back and unceremoniously snatched Xiang's hands back from Tianxian.

Tian Xian was stunned, and then suddenly, "I...... I didn't mean to, I was in a hurry, if there was water......"

"Yes...... It's Xiaosheng who is too useless!" Xiang stammered slightly, "After Xiaosheng left his hometown, he rarely interacted with people, so, so ......"

"No need to explain, you don't need to be so polite with this dead imp, the more polite you are, the more he has to get in. Dolma began to teach Shantun.

Xiang listened to Zhuoma's continuous counting of the shortcomings of Tianidle, so she had to laugh embarrassedly, "Xiaosheng...... Xiaosheng, let's go find water first!"

Dolma wondered, "Can you really find water?"

"Xiao Sheng give it a try!" Xiang nodded, but his tone was very affirmative.

Tianxian was also looking forward to it, and at this time, the voice of the evil eye suddenly came from his heart, "If the fire veins in her that we don't know are farther away, it will be in vain to destroy our arrangement!"

"Can she really find it?" Tian Xian was a little surprised to hear the evil eye say this, it seems that the evil eye thinks that incense must be able to find water.

"Now I can't be sure if there's water around here, but if she can find it, then nine times out of ten, there is a chance that there is, and the silver water spirit is not a vegetarian!"

Watching Xiang walk towards the woods not far away, Tian Xian couldn't help asking, "What is the silver water spirit you have been talking about, and how much is it similar to you?"

The evil eye snorted and said in a disdainful tone: "In essence, we are the same, we are all part of this world, and it is the consciousness that some natural force has accumulated and precipitated over many years in a unique environment, and this consciousness has gradually become clear, and can independently gather more forces to form an individual, this is us." ”

"So, you're not something unique, just a force of nature in this world. ”

The Evil Eye did not deny it, but immediately retorted: "To be precise, I existed in the previous world, and there was an environment in that place that was more suitable for nurturing our consciousness, and when that world collapsed, I survived, and the Silver Water Spirit is just something that appears in this world, and I am 108,000 miles away!"

Tian Xian smiled, "You're just an old qualification, and you didn't hide in fear when you saw the Frost Giant." ”

The evil eye didn't hear the evil eye's behavior of exposing the shortcomings, and continued: "The silver water spirit is the consciousness generated in the water in some special environment in this world, this kind of thing is not necessarily very powerful, but it is very sharp and agile, if I feel good, the silver water spirit on that girl's knife is already a very powerful kind, and she can't exert the full power of that knife now." ”

"Oh, that's like me!"

"Hmph! Any kind of silver water spirit can burn the essence of the essence!" The evil eye snorted coldly again.

"That will also have to wait until you can completely unblock the power. Tian Xian hit the evil eye mercilessly, "But according to the way you are now, no matter how powerful you are, you are just a coward." ”

"Patience when you're weak, it's the way to survive!" "This is the secret of the last world ruin, boy! You can't keep meddling. Otherwise, you'll get into trouble. ”

Tianxian whistled and ran towards Xiang, "It seems that the trouble I caused is no longer one or two, and a little more is not a problem." ”

Came to the back of the incense. I saw her walking up and down as she knew it. Tian Xian asked strangely, "Is there water around here?"

Xiang frowned slightly. "It feels very faint, it seems that the water veins are deep, but ......"

I picked a leaf in my hand. Gently crushed and sniffed the taste, Xiang said with certainty: "But since the trees can get enough water to grow, this also shows that the amount of water in this water vein is amazing." ”

"Can you determine the location?"

"Xiaosheng do his best!"

The flash wave knife slowly came out of the sheath, and a coolness spread out, Xiang held the flash wave knife and said softly: "Please retreat a little, Xiaosheng needs a little space, please forgive me." ”

Tian Xian hurriedly retreated, and pulled the others who were curious to come by with him.

Xiang pointed obliquely at the ground with the blade of the knife, and slowly walked around, and there seemed to be a faint wave of water flashing on the flash knife, which looked particularly strange.

Gradually, Xiang slowed down, and the fluctuating light on the flash knife gradually subsided.

Turning the blade upside down, Xiang held the knife firmly in his hand, gently said a few words, took a deep breath, and the blade slammed into the ground.

"Poof!"

Almost visible to the naked eye, a faint ripple spread out from the blade, like a ripple of water sweeping, and the yellow sand on the ground churned.

The second course, the third course......

With the flash knife as the center of the circle, the waves of light slowly rippled away in all directions, and the floating sand on the ground was swept up one after another, and the smoke and dust flew for a while.

Everyone knows that Xiang is looking for a water source, but there is no way to know what he is doing, only a surprised voice came from the evil eye in Tianxian's heart: "This girl has actually learned to use the power of the silver water spirit, it is incredible, can it be said that the silver water spirit will also be willing to give the power to humans to use?"

Tian smiled idly, "So, you have always reluctantly lent me the power to use?"

"I'm just forced to do it, huh, and you don't necessarily want to use my powers! Our situation is quite special, but this girl and the power of the silver water spirit are so harmonious, this is really amazing, do you know what she is doing?"

"I don't know. ”

"We just opened the fire vein to channel the surrounding fire qi back, but now this girl is calling the water vein with the power of the silver water spirit, she is attracting water from deep underground to the surface, this technique is much more clever than us!"

"Looks like you're nothing remarkable!"

"It's a stupid owner like you who can't use my powers!"

"Humph!"

"Humph!"

Tianxian and the evil eye were not convinced by each other, but Xiang had reached a critical juncture, only to see her expression suddenly change slightly, and with a soft shout, the blade suddenly completely inserted into the ground, and then her body stood upright, and the flash wave knife was raised high, and the ripples flashed in the air, and she had already pulled out of the ground.

"Everyone, hide!"

Xiang was originally happy, but suddenly his face changed, and he ran towards this side with a scream.

"Boom"

The ground shook violently, and the land around the incense suddenly bulged and cracked......

"Bang!!"

The ground exploded violently! The raging jet of water shot out from the ground, and before Xiang could scream, the man had already washed into the sky......

"Bang bang bang!!"

A series of explosions came from the ground, and Tian Xian and the others couldn't help but change their faces, because the cracks in the ground were constantly expanding and spreading in all directions.

"What are you doing standing! Don't run! That damn woman has drawn too much water!" the evil eye roared.

"Run!!"

Without saying a word, Tianxian shouted. Turn around and run!

The waves of water burst into the sky, and everyone was swept into the air............

Half an hour later......

Tianxian and a group of people lay on the ground weakly, regardless of the puddles of mud on the ground, washed by the waves like the tide for a long time, everyone has a feeling of the rest of their lives.

The ground no longer spews water outwards, but two huge natural wells, one large and one small, have formed in two places, and cold water is still bubbling outward.

"Yes, I'm sorry! It's all Xiaosheng's fault! Xiaosheng didn't expect this! It's all Xiaosheng's bad!" Xianghug was soaking wet, holding the flash wave knife and apologizing to everyone.

"Fragrant ......"

"Yes! Xiao Sheng is here!" Xiang immediately came to Tian Xian's side.

"You...... Go get a change of clothes. Tian Xian looked at the unsuspecting incense with innocent eyes.

Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then screamed violently. Blushing and running away. She was soaking wet, her clothes were wrapped around her body, and the delicate figure of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl was undoubtedly prominent.

"Little pervert, why don't you tell me to change my clothes!?" Gu Li was arranging her dripping hair, and she presciently approved a dry dress to avoid embarrassment.

Sit up. Looking at the water all over the ground, my heart is happy. smiled: "Compared to incense." Naturally, you're looking better!"

Gu Li was also stunned for a moment, and then screamed violently, but she didn't run away with a blushing face. Instead, he pulled off the dry clothes on his body, covered it on Tianxian's head, punched and kicked, punched and kicked.

"Kill you little pervert, little pervert!"

Vero and Arion had already hid far away, lest they be harmed by the fish in the pond......

The problem of water is solved!

When Tian Xian was about to leave, those village names collectively surrounded Tian Xian and a few people, knelt on the ground, and said words of gratitude with a thousand thanks, and they were extremely excited.

Although the environment here is still very harsh, but at least they really have a place to live, and there is already a natural defensive ring here, as long as a simple defensive wall is built on the fire vein line laid by the sky, then those rioters in the streets will not be able to stay in the hot desert climate outside for too long, but the inside of the defensive wall is much cooler, as long as a certain amount of food and water is stored, it can fight a long-term war of attrition.

Before leaving, Arion stayed, it was he who made this request, Tian Xian understood what he meant, although the problem was solved temporarily, but it was clear that the trouble had not been completely eradicated.

"Take care, we'll be back soon!"

Arion gripped his shoulders gratefully and replied, "You too, thank you, I will always remember it, I owe you!"

"I owe it to you, if you think of this solution, we're at a loss!" Tian Xian also patted him on the shoulder, "Take good care of them!"

"Hmm!"

Bidding farewell to Arion, Tian Xian and his party quickly returned to the Longyuan Empire on the small ash, flew over the barren and bloody land in the chaotic streets, and stopped in front of the nearest border outpost of the Longyuan Empire.

Long Jiu this is waiting here.

Xiao Ash fell suddenly, and the surrounding soldiers panicked. Long Jiu was extremely excited, and rushed out first.

"Brother Tianxian, look at your appearance, that thing has already been done?" asked Long Jiu with a red face.

Tian Xian jumped to the ground and nodded, "Of course, now those people have left and are no longer there." ”

Long Jiu laughed, "Okay! Well done! I, Long Jiu, really didn't see the wrong person, come here!"

"Your Highness!"

Because of Long Jiu's arrival, this outpost has mobilized all the soldiers to escort it, and urgently requested support from other outposts, and now everyone is trembling, the highest commander here is a junior general, only one level older than the captain of the guards, as soon as Long Jiu shouted, this person immediately ran forward respectfully.

"Some time ago, I heard that there are outlawless people sneaking out of the empire from here and gathering outside to make trouble, do you know about this?"

"Yes...... Yes, the little ones know, the little ones are damned, they're in charge of guarding the gates, but they ......."

"Okay, okay!" Long Jiu didn't mean to embarrass him, there were no strong enemies in the north of the Longyuan Empire, and the borders were all inconspicuous small checkpoints, and it was common to steal a few people occasionally.

"Now you immediately take two hundred men out to hunt these people, but whoever determines their identity will be killed!

"Yes! Yes!"

Tian Xian silently watched the general leave in a hurry with his people, and never said a word.

Long Jiu was very happy. The two guards who told him to set up the table again, put down the wine and food, and invited the sky to sit down.

"Brother Tianxian, I don't think you seem to like my approach, don't you think those people should be killed?" Long Jiu asked after taking a drink and exhaling pleasantly.

"Why do you want to kill them?, they really didn't do anything wrong! I have already asked, they are just refugees fleeing the famine, poor people who have no place to return. ”

Indeed, they are innocent. It's a person who deserves pity!" Long Jiu sighed. "But...... Also damn people. ”

"Why?"

Long Jiu smiled, "You just asked me what they did wrong, and I can only say that they didn't do anything wrong, and I wasn't doing anything wrong. But they are going to die. I'm going to kill them!"

"There must always be a reason to shed blood. Tian Xian stared at Long Jiu.

"Because of the rules. Principle!" Long Jiu replied lightly, "Crowds are not allowed to gather in the streets, this is the first iron law. No matter who has to abide by this rule, and they secretly leave the country, it is already an act of treason, although I know that they are innocent, but our rule is not to look at who is innocent, but only to see who has violated what terms, whose deposit zài has affected the overall situation, if they should not save zài, even if they have done nothing wrong, they will also disappear!"

"And ......" Long Jiu glanced at Tian Xian, "you are responsible for requisitioning the rebels, just to disperse them, this is not in accordance with the rules, in your merit book, you need their corpses!"

Tianxian couldn't help but sigh, "Do you sacrifice your innocent people for these things? They obey the law and pay money and taxes, since you aspire to become the king of a country, do you now just care about the lives of your own people? You can even sacrifice their lives for your own interests......? Can you really be the king of a country?"

"Presumptuous!"

The two guards behind Long Jiu shouted angrily in unison and rushed forward together, "In front of His Highness, you actually dare to speak wildly!"

"Stand down!" Long Jiu's face turned cold.

The two guards were full of resentment, and Long Jiu retreated again, so they had to retreat.

Looking at Tian Xian's somewhat disapproving expression, Long Jiu replied solemnly: "Those people should be beheaded according to the law, it has nothing to do with whether I sacrifice them or not, it can even be said that if their lives can be used by me before they die, such a humble life will become more valuable!"

"And!" Long Jiu interrupted Tian Xian in advance, "They deserve to die this time, but if necessary, even if they are guiltless, I can sacrifice them." ”

"What did you say?" Tianxian couldn't help but be angry.

Long Jiu's face was still calm, "As long as it is necessary, nothing cannot be sacrificed, in this world, every qiē can be measured under the same conditions, in front of the entire empire's territory, in front of the entire empire's thousands of people, a qiē is insignificant, even I am the same!"

"Can you sacrifice yourself for the future of the Empire?" said mockingly.

"I, Long Jiu, swear by my loyalty to the Empire, I, can!"

This sentence made Tianxian somewhat surprised.

Long Jiu said calmly: "I said, I fight for this monarch, not for my fame for a hundred generations, nor for me to be admired by the world, just to live up to my man's dignified life, I don't ask whether it's right or wrong, I don't ask whether it's true or false, I just want this empire to be in full swing, I just want me to become an emperor who lives up to expectations! For this, even if I do something dirty, it's nothing?"

Picking up the wine glass, Long Jiu smiled slightly, "In life, no one is spotless old and dead loess, as long as there is still a pure land in my heart, I can face it calmly." ”

Tian Xian looked at Long Jiu in front of him with a somewhat complicated look, his words seemed to be very reasonable, but Tian Xian felt that he couldn't agree with his thoughts.

Seeing that Tian was silent, Long Jiu smiled again and said, "Maybe my words make you feel annoying, but it's okay, I think you will always understand me, because in my opinion, we are actually a kind of people." ”

"Me and you?"

"Yes, it's just that I was born in the family of the emperor and was destined to play with power all my life, but you are free and free. Glancing at the kind of people beside Xiao Ash, Long Jiu smiled evilly, "It's only been a while, and it seems that there are more female companions around you." ”

Tianxian rolled his eyes, "No matter how many you princes do, I don't know as many as you." ”

Long Jiu laughed, "Well...... If it's pleasing to the eye, I always want to stay around, hahaha!"

"That's the end of this matter!I've already fulfilled my promise, now, isn't it time for you to fulfill your promise, Your Highness?"

Long Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, took a sip of his wine glass, "Don't worry, Miss Xue'er's father, I have found a definite whereabouts, and now I am still following up secretly, there will definitely be no mistakes." ”

"Does Your Highness have any other requests?" Tianxian frowned at this time.

"No, I just want to wait for this matter to be completely over, and then sue you, and when my soldiers confirm the result, I naturally won't break my word!"

This guy is really cautious, like that...... Isn't it going to be exposed?

Tian Xian knew very well that when those villagers left, countless people on the chaotic streets could see it clearly, and those soldiers would naturally ask someone if they couldn't find anyone, and soon they knew the whereabouts of those village names.

However, Tian Xian was not worried about the safety of those villagers, because they had already left the border of the Longyuan Empire, and it was on the established border of the Shalit Empire, as long as those soldiers were not stupid, they would definitely not rush to chase and kill people.

Sure enough, soon the general from before rushed to meet him, running over sweating profusely, and whispered something to Long Jiu.

Long Jiu was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Tianxian's face and couldn't help but change for a while.

"You...... Brought them to the Shalit Empire?" Long Jiu had a look of disbelief on his face.

"I'm just fulfilling His Highness's instructions, don't let them disturb the rules of the chaotic streets, and they all disappear into the chaotic streets, isn't this the best result?" replied with a calm demeanor.

"Defection! This is not the best outcome!"

Tianxian snorted softly, "Your Highness made it clear at the beginning, as long as I went to disperse them, I didn't say that I would kill them all, I have now done what His Highness asked me to do, Your Highness should not go back on your word!"

"But you're going against the Empire in disguise!" Long Jiu finally became a little excited.

Tian Xian said in a deep voice: "I am not a citizen of your Longyuan Empire, and I also know that I should not kill innocents in vain, but you, the imperial family of the Empire, have to exterminate all your own people!

"You ......"

Tian Xian continued: "I don't care if I'm against the empire or not, all I care about is the agreement with your Highness, and now I've done what you asked, and I hope to get a corresponding return, that's all!"

Long Jiu's face was ugly, quite ugly, he didn't expect things to be like this anyway, and the originally good plan suddenly became a mess.

Pouring himself a full glass of wine again, Long Jiu took a sip of it and spit out a heavy breath of wine, "Okay! This matter is indeed my inconsiderate consideration, no wonder others, since you have done what I want you to do, I naturally can't break my word!"

Taking out an envelope from his arms, Long Jiu looked a little painful, "Miss Xue'er's father is in the Longyuan Empire now!, and it looks like he won't leave anytime soon, this is his position!"

As he spoke, Long Jiu threw the envelope to Tian Xian.

Tian Xian took it and immediately opened it, quickly glanced at the text on it, was a little surprised, and then carefully accepted the letter.

"Your Highness's reputation is unparalleled, admire!"

Long Jiu smiled, "Brother Tianxian also opened my eyes, admire!" (To be continued......)
