es, people divided a day into twelve time segments called "shi chen". Five days make sixty "shi chen", which constitutes a large cycle called "wu ri yi hou" (five days as one cycle)."The reason the G...If only I could be ruthless.

Regardless of the lives of these people, I only care about my husband, my children, and my family.

This kind of thought cannot be allowed, once it emerges, it must be extinguished.

I don't want to be a leader, nor do I want to take responsibility.

I long to be sheltered under your wings for a lifetime.

But fate pushed me out, pushing me into a strange place.

Spirits, ghosts, immortals, demons and monsters.

>

Millions of people wouldn't believe that such things exist in the world.

And I am in the midst of it, obscure and ineffable, unable to express it outwardly. I can only force myself to understand, accept, and obey such laws.

Tens of thousands of people remained here, not too many nor too few. I sent the women to gather soybeans and the men to dig up entire kudzu plants.

"Your Highness, which kind of quality should we dig for... some of these have already been harvested, should we still dig" a man asked me.

I was thinking that for the first barter, I should try to leave a good impression of mutual trust. If I deceive the other party or take advantage of them, what if they bring an army over

That Beidang Xi is a local snake, after all. If we try to play tricks or take advantage of him, we might offend him, and he probably won't associate with us anymore afterwards.

"... Go deeper and dig for soybean trees with full grains and good appearance. Make sure to take the roots and soil along, wrap the root system with large tree leaves and tie it up with vines. Everything must be packed neatly. After packing, I will inspect each one myself."

If I don't keep an eye on them, these people will slack off or just go through the motions. In the end, it will be my reputation and credibility that suffers.

In this environment, without credibility, no one will listen to what you say, and many things cannot be carried out.

Just like now, if I give an order, people will spontaneously organize themselves into teams to use stones, tiles, or even their bare hands to dig. They can finish everything on the same day.

I carried a half-bucket of water and tapped it against the branches and stems, watching as Mu Wanchen instructed the loading.

There are some vehicles left in this city, but they have been around for so long that their axles have rotted away. They are more like large boxes than actual vehicles, bound repeatedly with hemp rope to make it easier for the golden eagles to grab them and fly.

"Did you have the golden eagle carry such a large train car" I doubted the golden eagle could fly with that.

"Otherwise what The return journey still requires loading supplies, and the distance is far. It's definitely not possible with manpower…" Mu Wanchen frowned slightly: "Shen Ying can transform into a human form and doesn't care about this weight."

" ... I'm afraid this rope won't hold. It's been hemp rope used in the city for who knows how many years! Even after soaking it in castor oil, it can't bear this much weight... There are several carriages." I was a little worried.

Mu Wanchen nodded: "Then what do you think we should do If it's really transported by manpower, I'm afraid it won't be in time, and there are no mules or horses here."

I touched my abdomen, otherwise I'd use Kun. Its size could easily accommodate all these train cars.

"Are there any wide rivers around here It's too small of a place for Kun to transform." I asked.

Mu Wanchen smiled and said, "Yes, I happen to be going to see them too..."

Them

I suddenly realized, it must be those Gu spirits!

Because there are no suitable places for them to live in the city, they must be hiding in the deep mountains.

In the north of the city, amidst towering mountains, there is a grand waterfall. Beneath the cascading water lies a deep pool, which meanders into a river flowing westward before ultimately merging with the sea.

There is a vast meadow here, about a hundred miles from the city. The mountainsides have caves, and even before I got close, I felt a familiar presence.

"Isn't that giant toad spirit in there It looks scary..." I said with a smile.

This breath, as if I got closer, its large tongue would come out to block the opening.

As soon as the words were spoken, a jet of water suddenly erupted from the riverbank.

Bai Ni's entire body was covered in scales like snow, her massive form lurking at the bottom of the river. The moment I approached, she rose to her feet.

>

I'm a little surprised, it looks quite different!

The head and mouth became sharper, with a row of spines along the back of its head and two long whiskers floating about.

“Bai Ni fought a giant sea monster, Hu Jiao, in the sea to protect us. Hu Jiao tore off half of her scales, and she bit off its tail. After that, she rested here for three days, and her scales grew back completely, her body as white as snow... It seems like she's gone through another tribulation.”

Bai Ni bent over, lowering her head.

It wants to rub against me, but now its head can't reach me. I'm afraid it might scrape off a few pounds of flesh.

So it had no choice but to obediently stop in front of me.

I reached out and held its icy carapace, gazing at the scars it bore on its head. My heart ached with emotion.

"... If one day you ride the wind and become a dragon, then we won't be able to see you anymore, will we" I stroked its head.

Bai Ni's eyes were large and frightening, but at this moment they held a hint of compassion.

She slightly closed her eyelids, letting me touch them, and silently leaned in front of my face.

I turned back and saw that all the people who had come with me were prostrate on the ground.

" …Forget it, let's catch up later. Let's get down to business first." I walked to the riverbank.

Bai Ni sheltered me, the cool river water not passing my waist.

The spirit worm moves according to one's will and transforms into an intangible form to hide.

The most primitive forms of witchcraft and sorcery arose out of the need to survive.

Throughout history, as times changed and stars shifted, those who grasped this power began to rule the world, and chaos ensued.

Eventually, they returned to their own Peach Blossom Spring.

The Kunling entered the water and instantly transformed, its size becoming dozens of times larger than the Bai Ni. It filled the river channel completely. I quickly told my people to put the carriages into the Kun's mouth. They trembled with fear, but finally managed to place them inside. My companion, Mu Wanchen, and I climbed onto the Kun's back.

"Five hundred li to the east lies a great lake, where we shall make our stay." I knelt upon Kun's back, stroking its smooth spine.

"When it can fly like a peng, you won't need to walk when you leave the house."

Oh well...

"I still prefer to get around using normal methods, like driving or taking the bus..." Who would ride this thing out and about

It's so big and overwhelming, and it melts when it gets wet. I can't just run to the lake behind my house every time I need a bath!

Mu Wanchen smiled: "Missing home"

"...a little, but I'm more afraid of not seeing you...Wánchen, do you think we should go to the Shaman and explain the situation Will they let us go"

Mu Wanchen narrowed his eyes slightly: "You think too simply... The God Witch enchanted the wasteland, and then left a way in the mortal realm for these people to escape... He needs a foundation to rule, he won't easily let people leave. Otherwise, if they can come and go freely, what authority is there"

"What are we going to do We're going to be trapped here!" I said reluctantly.

If I don't see my family, I'll be very uncomfortable, and to have a baby in this kind of place...

I lowered my head and looked at my lower abdomen. I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but I always feel like my belly has protruded.

This feeling is subtle, the originally flat stomach now begins to have a sharp and rounded arc.

Hidden under her clothes, it wasn't very noticeable. But when she got intimate with Mu Wanchen, he had noticed it because when she lay flat, her stomach no longer caved in.

Mu Wanchen saw my worry and patted my head, saying, "Don't worry, now that I have brought the people here and settled them down, I have also fulfilled my responsibility. I will find a way to go back with you... But first, we need to rescue Ji Zhu Xingjun."

I nodded and tightened my grip on his hand.

Kunpeng tens of thousands of miles, in a moment, it arrives. It seems we arrived early.

That lake was vast, where a giant Kun fish entered the water and transformed into shape, only to return to my body again.

Mù Wǎn Chén slightly tilted his head, looking at the forest behind him, and frowned: "…What are you following me for!" My brother asked with a smile.This Mister Mo, whose nickname is Lao Qi, used to do business with my father in the past. He dealt in shady things. We even visited his place a few years ago.His home is...
