Chapter 862: Saving Half the Country
He still didn't want to leave, and kept searching for something in the sea. His face remained calm, but his heart was already more turbulent than the tide. The sea was boundless, and the sea breeze brought with it a salty, humid and hot air.
Li Changxiao searched for a month and saw a ship coming. He was confused, so he went aboard and asked the captain for some wine. The captain was a good man. He smiled and told Li Changxiao that his ship lacked everything except wine. He was very generous. Li Changxiao took the wine and lay on the edge of the deck, looking at the sea while drinking.
The breeze blew up the corners of his clothes. His white clothes were very loose, and when the sea breeze blew, they immediately swelled, exposing his breasts. He took a sip of wine and a sip of northwest wind, looking quite leisurely. However, he had no intention of enjoying himself.
When the ship docked, all the passengers left. Li Changxiao went into the sea alone again. On this day, he suddenly felt something strange and said "eh". He was very familiar with the Lingtian Sea, but today he suddenly felt that the sea was very strange.
The seawater was azure blue, but here the azure blue was mixed with a few strands of light blue. The sea here was very strange, as if it was mixed with something else. Li Changxiao dived into the sea and observed carefully.
Suddenly he discovered the subtlety, flew to the sea, took out the Qingping Sword, placed the tip of the sword on the sea, and gently scratched it. The sea surface was cut open like paper. They did not meet for a long time. Li Changxiao scratched farther and farther, and the scratch became larger and larger, as if it was going to completely cut the sea surface in half.
After rowing for more than half a month and stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles, Li Changxiao put away his sword, formed a spell in his hand, and issued an order. Suddenly, the sky turned dark, thunder roared, the sea retreated in all directions, and a continent emerged.
It’s the Lingtian Dynasty.
To be exact, it was half of the Lingtian Dynasty. There were towns of ordinary people, mountains and hills, and the smell of fireworks. Everything was so peaceful. Li Changxiao jumped into the Lingtian Dynasty, his feet on the ground, and he sighed heavily. He did not feel happy, but his heart was even more worried.
He bent down and gently stroked the land. Suddenly, he saw an old man passing by with a bullock cart. He went down to the field skillfully and wielded the hoe skillfully. Li Changxiao called the old man and asked him where he was.
The old man looked at Li Changxiao with great curiosity in his heart. This young man was handsome and seemed to be from another place. His accent was also very similar to that of more than a hundred years ago. The old man did not answer, but instead asked tentatively, asking Li Changxiao if he was from another place.
Li Changxiao was filled with emotion. Strictly speaking, he was a local. But at this moment, he nodded and told the old man that he was indeed from another place.
Unexpectedly, the old man was overjoyed after hearing this. He grabbed Li Changxiao's arms and shouted to the people in the village: "People from outside the village are coming! People from outside the village are coming!"
Soon, countless people swarmed in and surrounded Li Changxiao, looking around curiously, wishing they could strip Li Changxiao naked.
Li Changxiao watched the dream and finally understood the reason.
It turned out that in the eyes of the local people, a huge flood a hundred years ago submerged all places except Lingtian. Now seeing Li Changxiao, an outsider, it is inevitable that they are so excited.
More and more people gathered around, finally alarming the county magistrate, who came riding a sedan chair and a horse. When he saw Li Changxiao, his eyes immediately became moist and he was so happy that he could hardly speak.
Although the Lingtian Dynasty was saved from the flood, it was isolated from the outside world for nearly a hundred years. There was little communication, and the news was cut off. The Tianji Dao was stagnant, and the warriors did not make much progress. There was not much change from a hundred years ago.
The county magistrate treated him generously and asked Li Changxiao about the outside world. Li Changxiao answered one by one and told some white lies to prevent Ling Tian from having difficulty in connecting with the outside world in the future.
The Lingtian Dynasty that survived the flood was not small. It had about half of its original territory. It had been self-sufficient for many years and was peaceful and happy. The four northern regions and the four southern regions...were slashed by the mermaid Dong, cutting off the destiny of the two regions. It was inevitable that they would be separated in the future.
But because of the appearance of Lingtianbanguo, the flow was barely continued and not completely cut off. The county magistrate was very happy about Li Changxiao's arrival. He welcomed Li Changxiao, changed his clothes, prepared a carriage, and went to the largest town in Lingtianbanguo, "Longcheng".
During the great flood a hundred years ago, although all parts of Lingtian were saved, there were also heavy casualties at the time. Longcheng was the best preserved town. After the disaster, Longcheng became more prosperous and gradually became the center of Lingtian.
After arriving at Longcheng, the current prefect of Longcheng, Liu Qingyuan, was even more excited and hugged Li Changxiao as if he were a long-lost brother. He told Li Changxiao without hesitation that since the great flood, Lingtian Banguo had sent people out to sea several times to look for him.
But I couldn't find it, so I gave up. Over the past hundred years, every time I saw the sea around my territory, I felt an indescribable loneliness. A country alone in the sea, no matter how prosperous and stable it is, is always missing something.
Liu Qingyuan asked Li Changxiao to serve as the ambassador of the opening of the Lingtian half country, bringing Lingtian's generous gifts to reconnect with other places and renew the kinship. Li Changxiao naturally agreed. Liu Qingyuan was deeply moved and set up today as a celebration festival on the spot.
The whole city is jubilant and the whole country is celebrating, which is of great significance.
That night, the people sang and danced, creating a lively scene. Li Changxiao suddenly felt relieved and asked Liu Qingyuan, "Do you know why the flood destroyed the world, but only Lingtian was not affected?" Liu Qingyuan shook his head, "I don't know. This natural disaster is something that mortals like us can't guess."
Li Changxiao remained silent. The fact that Lingtian was able to be preserved was not due to luck.
But when the mermaid, who was half a step into the Great Vehicle stage, stirred up the water that overturned the sky, someone stood in front of him...
It's a pity that no one knows.
While Liu Qingyuan was enjoying the future and immersed in joy, Li Changxiao had quietly walked away, walking alone on a remote street. He followed the route he remembered and came to a dilapidated temple.
The temple was in ruins. Weeds grew in front of the door, and paint was falling off the wall. The gold paint on the golden statue of the river mother inside had been scraped off. But the statue was still intact. It could be seen that it was a woman, sitting cross-legged, lowering her brows and looking at the world with pity.
The body of He Mujin was covered with black words. The words had weathered, but they were still faintly visible. Li Changxiao read them one by one... He murmured, "Not saving a city, not saving a city." Suddenly he picked up the pen and added four words at the end: "But save half of the country."
