When Gu Jiu and the other three women and one man climbed out of the carriage without wearing outer robes and with their clothes somewhat disheveled, the female disciples from the academy who were accompanying them naturally imagined many scenes.
Have they heard of the term "Spring Mahjong"?
It turns out that Mahjong can really be so inappropriate!
Overturning the car into a ditch is not a good thing, especially for Xiaoqi, who almost exploded.
In the last round, she had already gotten a self-drawn card!
Unfortunately, God did not give Xiaoqi the opportunity to touch himself.
Fortunately, the place where the car overturned was not far from the prefectural government office.
When the carriage was back on the road, the four of them stopped playing mahjong, even though Xiaoqi was clamoring for two more rounds.
Enough entertainment, time to go to bed.
We will arrive at the prefect's mansion in less than two hours, and we have to get to work.
Judging from the tone of the letter, the incident encountered by the prefectural government was not a small matter.
The letter required Qingxi Academy to bring at least twenty people, indicating that this matter could not be solved by one person alone.
Before they knew it, the relationship between Xiao Qi, Su Ying and Zhao Chuling had improved a lot.
The three women hugged each other and fell asleep on the bed.
Since the bed in the carriage was not very big, Xiao Qi was sandwiched between two women with big breasts, which was quite like being in a sandwich.
This is a very touching scene.
Gu Jiu looked at it for a while, then moved the mahjong table away, pulled out the rattan chair from his bracelet, and lay down.
Soon, a sound of even breathing was heard in the carriage, which was very sweet.
……
When Gu Jiu and his group arrived at the prefectural mansion, it was almost dark.
Pingbei County is the largest city in the north, with a population of over 200,000, three times the population of Yanyang City.
Even though it was already night, the entire Pingbei County was still bustling with traffic and horses, presenting a prosperous scene.
Gu Jiu and the other three were still sleeping at the time, so they didn't notice the bustling city scenery.
When a disciple from Qingxi Academy came to ask Gu Jiu and the other three to get off the bus, he secretly took a look inside and felt that they were really tired.
Wouldn’t it be tiring for one man to deal with three women?
Gu Jiu is definitely not an ordinary person as he can make a woman fall asleep from exhaustion in such a situation.
The female disciple became more and more excited as she thought about it, and she couldn't help but clamp her legs together.
But thinking of the important things she had to do, she could only cough a few times to wake them up.
Pingbei County is the largest city in the north, so the Pingbei County Governor's Mansion is naturally magnificent.
The group from Qingxi Academy were easy to deal with. After all, their academy covered a large area. Although it was not as big as the prefectural mansion, it had seen some of the world.
Gu Jiu was different. He was just like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and felt that the place was really rich.
After all, from birth to now, he has been from Linshui Town, an urban-rural fringe, to the dilapidated Qingliu Academy, an urban-rural fringe, and has never seen the world.
Even though the Gu family later moved to the jurisdiction of the Yunshan Sword Sect, it was still a place where non-practitioners lived, so it was naturally not considered high-end.
This prefectural mansion is clearly the work of skilled craftsmen. Not only are the details exquisite, but it also has a grand and imposing atmosphere.
Under the guidance of the guards of the prefectural mansion, Gu Jiu and his party soon arrived in front of the main hall.
Only important people could enter the main hall. Since there were only three people from Qingliu Academy, Gu Jiu and his two companions went in. From Qingxi Academy, only Luo Lin and two elders were qualified to enter.
When Gu Jiu and his group entered the hall, they found that there were already quite a few people sitting there.
After noticing Gu Jiu's arrival, the eyes of these sect leaders couldn't help but narrow slightly, looking lustful.
Many of these people had already met Gu Jiu at the Beixue Ming Club.
At that time, Gu Jiu was sitting opposite the mountain, letting them see enough.
However, they had not observed Gu Jiu from such a close distance last time. Now, after seeing him, many of them felt the urge to take Gu Jiu in and use him as a cauldron.
However, thinking of the terrifying young man and the terrifying person behind him, they could only suppress this impulse.
Sitting right above was a beautiful woman wearing a dark official uniform, who looked like a queen.
This woman is naturally the owner of this place, Liu Fengyao, the prefect of Pingbei County.
This time she summoned so many practitioners from the North to her house, the scale of which was even comparable to the Bei Xue Ming Hui, which showed that she had encountered a lot of trouble.
Some people on the way had already heard the news that when Pingbei County was exterminating some long-waisted giants, an army of nearly a thousand people, including more than a dozen female disciples of the Duanshui Sect, were all killed.
Among so many people, only one disciple of Duanshui Sect escaped, who was covered in wounds.
When the female disciple came back, she was already unconscious, and she kept repeating the words "It's over, it's over, too much, too much." Such words must have caused her to be under some kind of great stimulation.
When the female disciple woke up two days later, she recounted what happened that night.
They encountered thousands of long-waisted giants and were basically wiped out.
Thousands of long-waisted giants, this number was astonishing even before the destruction of the ancient Rong Kingdom.
The long-waisted giants do not have strong fertility, so this cannibalistic race has always been small in size and has always been used as a weapon of war by the ancient Rong Kingdom.
And after the fall of the ancient Rong Kingdom, they naturally became even rarer.
What does it mean to have thousands of long-waisted giants? It is comparable to the giant army of the ancient Rong State.
Then there is a very serious question here, what allowed the long-waisted giants who were almost extinct to reproduce so many offspring?
Soon, a lot of information pointed to the large green vat.
The jar in the painting of Lu Hongling, the world traveler.
Upon learning that those lifelike paintings were from Gu Xiaoxiao's master, Gu Jiu couldn't help but raise his brows slightly.
Will Xiaoxiao still be there?
(PS: The fourth update is over, go to bed, good night.)
Chapter 29: The Chivalrous Spirit Remains (Long Chapter)
As most people arrived, the atmosphere of discussion in the hall gradually became heated.
Now the first thing these big men in the north have to determine is what that strange green vat is and why the long-waisted giant can suddenly reach that size.
You have to know that thousands of long-waisted giants have an alarmingly high demand for human flesh and blood. If they want to find food, it is impossible for them not to notice it at all.
In the past, there was a saying in the ancient Rong Kingdom that "no bones of the ancient Rong people were left". This was because the long-waisted giants liked to eat people. After the death of many people in the ancient Rong Kingdom, their bones would generally become food for these long-waisted giants.
A large part of the reason for the fall of the ancient Rong Kingdom was that the royal family lost control over the long-waisted giants, which caused civil strife and severely damaged the country's vitality, ultimately leading to the fall of the country.
Thousands of long-waisted giants are really a huge number.
Dealing with a giant of this size is no longer something the imperial court can do unilaterally.
The reason why the prefect Liu Fengyao was so anxious was that there were so many giants in the north. If they were not eliminated in time, it would bring great turmoil to the north and even the neighboring Miao area. The consequences would be unimaginable.
Her purpose this time was naturally to gather all the combat power that the North could muster and destroy these giants in one fell swoop.
Liu Fengyao is a member of the royal family and the youngest governor in the history of the North. Due to the influence of the empress, his personality is not stable and is somewhat overbearing.
At this time, Hua Ningfeng, the owner of the North Tower of Nuyi Tower, snorted coldly and said, "If my guess is correct, that large green vat should be the vat lady."
When the word "Ganpo" was heard, the place suddenly became quiet, and a small number of people's faces changed.
Gu Jiu immediately became interested and was just waiting for someone to ask questions so that he could increase his knowledge.
At this time, Liu Fengyao really spoke up: "Master Hua, what exactly is this jar woman you are referring to?"
Hua Ningfeng raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Just the likes of us want to mess with the old woman?"
Liu Fengyao's expression suddenly turned cold, and she said, "Master Hua, what do you mean? We can't move this jar yet?"
Hua Ningfeng shrugged and said, "I'm not trying to exaggerate. The Gang Po appears once every few hundred years, and each appearance brings inevitable disaster. Seven hundred years ago, the southern water ghost disaster plagued the country for decades. Three hundred years ago, the ghost head tumor claimed tens of thousands of lives. At that time, the imperial court and practitioners all knew that it was the Gang Po's fault, and in the end, many people were sacrificed, but it was all in vain."
After hearing Hua Ningfeng's words, the whole hall fell silent.
If the other party's description is true, then this Gangpo is naturally a very terrifying existence. Hundreds of years ago, the imperial court and the cultivation world were helpless against her, so why can the cultivation world handle it now?
Liu Fengyao narrowed her eyes slightly, a cold light flashing in them, and said coldly: "Master Hua, before you say these words, shouldn't you tell us what a jar woman is?"
Hua Ningfeng sat down, took a sip of tea, and said, "From what I know, it's a large green vat. In the notes of the former Grand Secretary Wang Chuixue, this vat was called the 'Mouth of the Yellow Springs,' meaning that this vat could connect to the Yellow Springs underground and bring evil spirits into the human world."
After hearing Hua Ningfeng's description, many people believed her words.
Although Wang Chuixue was a Grand Secretary of the previous dynasty, she had a more eye-catching identity - "the traveler of the world".
She is probably the first, and so far the only, person in history who has no sect inheritance but voluntarily becomes a "World Traveler".
Wang Chuixue is a man of great learning and has done in-depth research on many strange taboos. Her notes are regarded as treasures by the imperial court and major sects.
Because humans are ignorant, Wang Chuixue is a pioneer in unlocking the unknown, and the information she possesses is naturally extremely valuable.
However, due to the subsequent change of dynasties, she was implicated due to her special status and was eventually hanged to death. Her notes were also lost, and those that occasionally appeared were only fragments.
The fragments of text that Hua Ningfeng accidentally obtained happened to contain the record of Gangpo.
According to Wang Chuixue's notes, Gangpo is a nightmare for the human world.
It is just a big vat. It wakes up every once in a while, then falls asleep, and wakes up again, repeating the cycle.
However, during its sleep, its body will gradually shrink and become less fat, just like a human whose body fat has been exhausted. When it wakes up, it will gradually become fatter again with the sacrifices of its believers.
When the Jiangpo grows to a certain size while awake, it will become the "Mouth of the Underworld" and bring disaster to the world.
And according to Hua Ningfeng, the remaining pages of Wang Chuixue's notes described that over the past thousands of years, many people have tried to stop Gangpo, but all have failed.
After listening to Hua Ningfeng's detailed explanation, there was silence in the room, and even the breathing became much lighter.
Now it seems that the disaster brought by Gangpo this time is those thousands of long-waisted giants, or even more.
In the past, the water ghost disasters were difficult to completely eradicate even after decades, but now it is not easy to eliminate these long-waisted giants.
Since the fall of the ancient Rong Kingdom, the long-waisted giants have been surviving for thousands of years because their numbers are very small.
During their heyday, when they had thousands of people, it can be said that most of the territory of the ancient Rong Kingdom was conquered by them.
The combat effectiveness of an adult long-waisted giant at night is no less than that of a cultivator at the peak of the third level of concentration. If there are alien species among the thousands of long-waisted giants, what will their combat effectiveness be?
Does the entire North really have to sacrifice half of the practitioners to fight these monsters?
And behind those long-waisted giants, there is an unfathomable woman.
The answer is obvious. These northern cultivation sects are used to being selfish and would never make such a sacrifice.
The people around began to remain silent, each with their own agenda, and the atmosphere was very solemn.
At this time, a beautiful woman in a red dress with a bright red knife hanging from her waist stood up and said angrily, "What do you mean by not talking? Don't you want to fight anymore?"
This woman is Hong Xue, the leader of Duan Shui Sect.
If these long-waisted giants invade, they, who are located on the edge of the north, will be the first to be hit.
Hua Ningfeng frowned and said, "Fight? What can we rely on to fight? If Saint Liu Wan is in charge, my Nuyi Tower will also join in."
At this time, it was the turn of the female elder from Baxue Liu Pavilion. Her face turned frosty and she said coldly, "Hua Ningfeng, what do you mean? My Senior Sister Liu Wan has been in a fasting retreat recently and doesn't have the time to meddle in such trivial matters."
After hearing this conversation, a sneer was heard from the main seat in the hall.
Liu Fengyao's eyes were filled with chill as she said coldly, "Is this the perspective of you cultivators? If you don't destroy those things soon, do you expect them to arrive at your doorstep?"
Hua Ningfeng said, "You're worrying too much, Governor Liu. While the harm caused by the jar-wolves is unavoidable, it's not endless. I suspect it's just those long-waisted giants. Isn't that something your court should be concerned about?"
Liu Fengyao slammed the table and said angrily, "I care! I still have three thousand Thunder Rage Cavalry to give, and I can even take away the guards in my mansion. As for Master Hua, you don't want to stay out of this, do you?"
Hua Ningfeng was destined to shift the blame to Baxue Liuge, and replied, "Like I said, if we only rely on the northern troops and our people, it will be difficult to deal with those giants and the jar-witch. If Saint Liu is willing to join, Hua doesn't mind helping the court and the Broken Water Sect."
Furthermore, what you said is wrong, according to the rules, this is the jurisdiction of the Broken Water Sect and is not within our jurisdiction."
Hua Ningfeng thought clearly that after the calamity, the jar woman would fall into a deep sleep, and these extra giants, due to their slow reproduction, would be wiped out sooner or later. However, the time to eliminate them was not now, and they would not be the ones to fight.
They are too far away from the border between the north and the south. Even if they want to take action, they have to wait until other forces are weakened.
Many sects in the heart of the northern region have similar calculations.
After hearing Hua Ningfeng's words, Duanshuizong's Hongxue slammed the teacup on the table to the ground and glared, "Master Hua, do you mean to let Duanshuizong handle this matter alone?"
