The Collection of The End

——AD 181——

The World of the Yellow Sky, this is the name Zhang Jiao gave to this world that is full of ruins as far as the eye can see.

The dim and gloomy sky, the dense green jungle, and the gray and pale ruins constitute the main color of this world. It is the same as the "outside world" but completely different in style, making people feel uneasy.

As he got closer to the giant deer, Zhang Jiao, who became more and more familiar with the environment, began to see some villages, towns and cities that had left an impression on him. Without exception, they all maintained the appearance of being destroyed and covered with vegetation.

According to his detailed exploration of these towns, he can be very sure that they were all destroyed by the war. The two warring parties were defending the city. Although they had sophisticated equipment but insufficient numbers of defenders, the other side was rough in behavior and the siege was completely Nomadic alien races that take human lives to fill the gap, but their numbers are endless.

As for the ending...just look at these ruins and it will be clear.

However, there are no signs of mortal existence in this world, whether living people or corpses. There are only many plants that surround, entangle, and coexist with the ruins.

Wait... Zhang Jiao stopped exploring the defense measures of a ruined city and raised his eyes to look at the endless forest sea around him.

He recalled that both the "Saint's Pavilion" and the "Martial Man's Pavilion" were all located in dense jungles. A considerable number of other "immortal caves" that appeared in rumors also "appeared suddenly in the deep forest." .

Not to mention the unexplained title of "Old Fairy of South China", the names "she" usually uses are "Meilin" and "Lin Hao", and there are always petals falling from her body. Does this mean that the power of that fairy is "Plants", or, at least, include.

And the little white-haired animal that she always holds in her arms, whose species cannot be identified at all, represents the meaning of "animals" that are tolerated and cared for by "plants".

So... Zhang Jiao continued to deduce along this line of thought, and there was no obstacle at all: this "fairy" came from the "future". For some reason, mortals were unable to resist the invasion of aliens, and every town in the Central Plains was completely destroyed.

It is still doubtful whether these alien races retreated on their own or were eliminated by "fairies", but there is no doubt that the Central Plains land with only ruins and no living people makes her very "lonely" - can plants be lonely? Zhang Jiao paused for a moment and decided to continue thinking using this word for the time being.

The "lonely" "fairy" returned to the present through some way, perhaps because of the eternal characteristics of plants, and created "Fu Shui" and "Nine Flower Jade Dew Pills" with excellent healing effects. Those who commit crimes by excluding themselves from the ranks of the Han people are not within the scope of her protection.

"The sky is dead, and the yellow sky will stand. If you live in Jiazi, the world will be prosperous." At this time, Zhang Jiao couldn't help but have some kind of understanding when he read these four maxims again. Perhaps, there is no one in this "yellow sky" , is what the "other self" did, at least it was the beginning of it, but because he is not a foreigner or a "traitor", the "fairy" will "guide" instead of "annihilate".

Let the people of the Central Plains survive as much as possible during that unprecedented alien invasion...?

For the first time, Zhang Jiao admired the "Southern China Fairy" not because of his strength.

Julu County, Taiping Road General Altar.

In "Yellow Sky", it is naturally in ruins, but unlike other towns, Zongtan is more like "abandoned" than "destroyed".

"Of course," Zhang Jiao thought as he walked into the familiar but unfamiliar general forum: "Even if the Central Plains is fully invaded by aliens, in some places where they can be easily mowed down like grass, only complete Only a brainless guy would take the initiative to attack."

The main altar is a model with a tall altar as the center and various buildings built in a ring around it. Not to mention the ordinary buildings around it, the four central altars are filled with talisman water.

The large cauldron used to amplify magical skills can completely make Zhang Jiao rival the top unparalleled generals - yes, he is using Lu Bu as his imaginary enemy.

With a certain sense of luck, Zhang Jiao walked up to the altar, but as expected, all four cauldrons were empty. He looked at the pile of vines that tightly entangled the cauldrons and made them look like water. I can helplessly spread my hands.

But just as Zhang Jiao was about to leave the altar, translucent orange water suddenly flashed around him, just like when he usually cast spells on the real altar.

Zhang Jiao subconsciously held the "water light", but before he could think of what to use it for, he saw dozens of panicked translucent figures flashing around the altar.

They seem to be some ordinary disciples who manage the altar? Zhang Jiao got closer to the figures, and as expected saw some slightly familiar faces, shouting something.

Seems like "the altar is leaking"? Hmm...it's true that the water "went" away.

Zhang Jiao thought for a while, and then used this "water light" that somehow penetrated the barrier between two lives to perform a magic spell recorded in the Earth Escape Book, which was used to enhance the five senses and was called "divine eye".

"The great virtuous master is not here, but we have lost the talisman water reserve. We can only apologize to the lady with death."

"Don't panic, how do you know this is not used by the Great Sage Master from a distance?"

"is that so?"

"Anyway, let's replenish our reserves first. If it was done by a great virtuous master, there will definitely be a message."

A group of Taoist disciples were talking about it.

Hmm... The eyes have not been strengthened too much, and the shadow is still a shadow, but at least the words can be heard. Zhang Jiao shook his head and left the altar, while guiding the water in the cauldron to form the word "Zheng" in the air.

————

Once the guardian of the central altar was convinced that the Great Master had taken away the Fu Shui reserve, he would no longer publicize it to everyone. This also gave Zhang Jiao the opportunity to secretly understand the current situation of Taiping Road.

Just as he guessed, although the court was temporarily distracted by the war in the northwest, the suppression of Taiping Road did not stop. In addition, because the concession faction "donated money" to Shi Changshi in order to preserve material channels, this money It has become a rule, and it will increase from time to time, which further makes more and more people want to teach the court a lesson.

Therefore, the current situation is that although Taiping Dao has unanimously shown a retreat attitude to the outside world, it has internally been divided into a radical faction headed by Zhang Liang and a retreat faction headed by Zhang Bao. Many disciples also have their own attitudes.

The only person who could really influence their decision-making, Zhang Jie's daughter, Zhang Jie, did not express her position because she was not sure of her father's attitude. She just patrolled around with her apricot flag to prevent those Taoist disciples with conflicting ideas from starting to fight seriously.

"Smelly dad, stupid dad, if you don't come back, those Taoist disciples divided into two factions will start fighting."

"[You can ask Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao to mediate the conflicts between Taoist disciples.]"

When Zhang Jiao returned to the quiet room where he often lived, he saw his daughter complaining about the "replying magic" he had left in advance, and the phantom with Zhang Jiao's appearance also responded freely.

It is a personal image that responds to specific words based on pre-stored information and has no contact function. It comes from the "Earth Escape Book" and is powered by the four cauldrons.

"It's useless. If the two uncles arrive, they will only support their own faction. Maybe they will also fight."

"[You can ask Taoist Zhang Jiao to mediate the conflicts between the elders.]"

"Then you should come back!"

"[You can use the altar to send a request to Dao Ancestor for an audience.]"

"Do you think we haven't tried it?"

"..." Zhang Jiao held his forehead, daughter, why are you quarreling with the illusion.

After three years of not seeing each other, Zhang Jie has grown a little and has changed from a girl to a young girl. Her appearance is no longer charming and naive, but more cunning and playful. In terms of clothing, she has learned to choose beautiful styles and match appropriate accessories. But the complicated hairstyle was definitely not her own. The only thing that remained unchanged was the apricot-yellow flag in her hand.

"Miss, this is information about the Battle of Liangzhou sent by the Taoist disciples who stayed in Luoyang." Ma Yuanyi, who was still gentle and reliable, came in holding a stack of silk books and put them on the table.

"Thank you, senior brother~" Zhang Jie responded sweetly and reached out to flip through the silk books: "Although I don't think my father would go to that kind of place."

This kind of observation from across the world can roughly see the scenery and characters, but as for the words on the scroll... Zhang Jiao walked over and took a look at the silk book. As expected, there was nothing on the translucent white silk.

"Well, contain the main force of the Qiang people from the front, cut off their retreat secretly, and then use..." Zhang Jie paused in the middle of reading and looked up at Ma Yuanyi: "Elder brother, my father has an immortal that is similar to a bolide. Is the technique available?"

"As far as we know, there is no such thing. Although Master can control the wind and rain, attract thunder and lightning, create phantoms, and sow the beans into soldiers, there are still many things that cannot be done." Ma Yuanyi answered seriously.

There is everything in the three volumes of the Book of Heaven, Zhang Jiao sighed, but even if he is now called Sanxian, he can only dabble in the "Book of Earth Escape" a little bit. As for the things in the "Book of Heaven Escape", he is still inaccessible.

"Oh...it's like he is locked up now and can't come back." Zhang Jie said casually.

"..." Zhang Jiao was speechless for a moment.

After the Battle of Liangzhou, "Lin Hao" "released" him and Tong Yuan, but did not tell them how to leave this world. This must have some deep meaning, but he has not figured it out yet.

"What! Zhang Jue!" Zhang Jie, who was reading the information, suddenly slapped the table, while Ma Yuanyi showed no reaction as expected.

"He transformed the talisman water into a weapon and used it as an opportunity to advance to the Jinan Prime Minister Cao Cao..." Zhang Jie continued to read a few more lines: "How unreasonable! When it comes to killing methods, not only are there many types of weapons and soldiers, but also even There are unparalleled military generals everywhere, and he still insists on dragging 'Fu Shui' into this ranks? Does that guy want to be beaten?!"

Who is it? To raise my originally well-behaved daughter to be so violent... Zhang Jiao looked slightly dull.

"No! I'm going to teach him a lesson!" Zhang Jie read a few more pieces of information, put them aside as if they were not important, and jumped up directly with the apricot-yellow flag: "Elder brother! Are you coming with me? "

"No matter what you plan to do, I will support you, Minjing." Ma Yuanyi smiled.

It is you!
