Chapter 374 God is willing to help us, there is still a glimmer of hope!

The last time Gu Dan rushed from the Xia Dynasty to the Buzhou Mountains, he was still at the peak of the Grandmaster level, and it took him more than four years without any delays along the way.

Now, the time required to return to the Xia Dynasty from Zhenchuan will naturally be greatly reduced.

The distance has not changed much, what has really changed is Gu Dan's strength.

The day of departure was the summer of the 142nd year of Xianlin.

By the time Gu Dan was able to see the outline of the Xia Dynasty again, it was the autumn of the 143rd year of Xianlin.

After more than a year, Gu Dan returned to the Xia Dynasty he had been away from for a long time.

Gu Dan was not always on the road for more than a year. If he saw someone who needed help on the way, he would not hesitate to lend a hand. It delayed him a little, otherwise he would have returned to the Xia Dynasty in just a year.

When the vast mountains and rivers of the Xia Dynasty came into view again, Gu Dan couldn't help but take a deep breath.

During the year of constant journey, the heaven and earth still underwent a change, but the impact was not as drastic and terrible as at the beginning. It was as if the changes accumulated for thousands of years were unfolding in an instant.

Even so, the pain and impact caused to ordinary people cannot be eliminated at all.

Along the way, countless countries fell into famine and disaster, and countless people were displaced and homeless.

The so-called starving people everywhere is not just empty talk.

But there are differences between countries.

When Gu Dan returned to the Xia Dynasty, he could see with his own eyes that the appearance of the people of the Xia Dynasty was much better than those areas severely affected by disasters.

A quick glance showed that although there were still a few skinny people squatting weakly beside the porridge stalls in the corner waiting for relief from the government, most people could still be considered strong and healthy.

The scope of the earthquake did affect the Xia Dynasty, but the Xia Dynasty today is not Dayue. Under the hands of sages, the Xia Dynasty is doing far better than any country Gu Dan has ever seen.

With his divine eye opened, Gu Dan did not see any skeletons on the roadside.

Although this is somewhat unbelievable, it is not particularly surprising.

During the first and most violent earthquake, it is impossible for there to be no casualties.

But the real disaster was not the first earthquake, but how to resettle the injured people, the people without food, and the homeless people after the earthquake.

The first point is the medical clinic system established by Gu Dan before he left. Judging from the feedback from [Xuanhu Jishi], the Xia Dynasty has always done a good job. Medical skills were not something out of reach in the Xia Dynasty. On the contrary, it was closely related to every citizen of the Xia Dynasty.

In this way, even if there are important tasks such as treating the wounded after a disaster, there is no need to ask the imperial capital for help. Every place has someone who can take on the responsibility, which can treat the wounded to the greatest extent and calm people's hearts.

As for the second point, for those weak countries that have been in constant war, they may not be able to store much food.

But for the Xia Dynasty, food should not be a problem.

Before leaving, Gu Dan gave a warning to the Xia Dynasty royal family.

As long as there was no foreign invasion, no matter how powerful the Xia Dynasty was, it would not expand its territory.

It sounds like it is following the Mohist strategy of non-aggression, but it is not.

The main reason is that Gu Dan discovered from historical traces that dynasties that were extremely fond of expansion would often fall apart in a short period of time, and the speed of their collapse was extremely fast, and the reasons were varied.

It is hard not to imagine that some immortal was unhappy and took action in secret.

Even during Wang Mang's time, the food in the Xia Dynasty was almost moldy, but the people could only eat meat once a month, which was quite remarkable! Although he left, Xun Ke was still in charge of the imperial capital. Xun Ke was not a person who liked to fight, so he would not change his ideas about staying.

Without large-scale consumption, the grain in the Xia Dynasty would only accumulate more and more.

As for the third point, it is to resettle the homeless people.

There is no need to worry about this.

With his divine eyes opened, Gu Dan took a quick look and saw Confucian scholars in Confucian attire helping out in various places, various petty officials shouting and giving orders, and Mohists in short brown cloth busy in the fields with the common people. It was a scene of bustling activity.

Having just returned to the Xia Dynasty, after a quick glance, Gu was worried but quite satisfied.

Not just one generation, but the efforts of the two generations he knew were not in vain.

Even if you encounter sudden disaster, you can get back on track.

This country, which once rose from the ruined land of Dayue, now truly has the qualifications to stand between heaven and earth and leave its name in history.

This is inseparable from the persistent struggle and efforts of outstanding people, who have turned into a lake to nourish this land.

The blood may come from all over the world, but being in the Xia Dynasty is like returning to one's hometown and being connected to each other.

Gu Dan couldn't help but smile.

The efforts were not in vain. This kind of fairy tale for adults is really not enough no matter how many times you read it.

Since there was no need for him to take any action here, Gu Dan did not disturb anyone.

He chose a new direction, neither the Gu family courtyard nor the imperial capital.

But it is where Yuzhou is located.

Perhaps it was fate that, during this change that affected the entire Yuantian Realm, the Yuan River did not change its course again - perhaps this was related to the fact that during the Wang Mang period, the management of the Yuan River was never relaxed every year.

This is certainly good news for Gu Dan, who has witnessed countless disasters along the way.

But he still has another expectation in his heart, which he hopes can be realized.

Yuzhou, the place where the White Lotus is inherited.

After more than sixty years, Gu Dan returned here again.

Fortunately, it did not collapse.

Perhaps it was because when Venerable Bai Lian left behind his inheritance, he had used his magical powers to allow this place to withstand the disasters.

When Gu Dan stepped on the passage, there was a slight and somewhat empty sound that spread in all directions and echoed lingeringly.

Gu Danqing couldn't help but take a deep breath.

When you walk through the not-so-long tunnel, what comes into view is the mural that stretches from sky to earth.

But Gu Dan's gaze did not shift at all. He did not even look at the mural. Instead, he looked at the very straight sarcophagus below the mural.

The sarcophagus still lay there quietly, without any sign of being opened.

Gu Dan sighed softly, came to the front of the sarcophagus, took another deep breath, and opened the sarcophagus.

A familiar face appeared in front of Gu Dan.

Moqiu.

He lay quietly in the sarcophagus, as if he was experiencing a peaceful sleep.

Only the space between his eyebrows was still locked.

The vitality of the Aoki Liquid continued to nourish his body, allowing his flesh to maintain a minimum level of activity.

But apart from this, there is no stronger vitality.

When he saw that extremely familiar face again, Gu Dan's disguise gradually faded away, and Kong Zhai's appearance slowly faded away, revealing Gu Dan's true face.

"Brother Mo, long time no see."

After a long silence, Gu Dan greeted softly.

Of course there was no answer.

The air seemed to calm down.

Miracles are miracles precisely because they are unlikely to happen.

Heaven and earth are not benevolent; they treat all things as straw dogs.

Whether you are a saint or an ordinary person, under heaven and earth, you are just an ordinary creature.

It will not be diverted by personal emotions and will.

At a certain moment, divine patterns intertwined in Gu Dan's eyes.

The divine power of the Sky Eye! With the improvement of strength and the increase of means, this time, he wants to thoroughly see whether Mo Qiu still has hope of survival and possibility of recovery.

It is both an explanation to myself and to Moqiu.

With his third eye opened, Gu Dan stared into Mo Qiu’s sea of ​​consciousness.

The ancient well is calm and still.

Empty.

It cannot be said to be full of vitality, it can only be said to be lifeless.

It is no exaggeration to describe it as empty.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Even a newborn baby cannot be so quiet.

Unless it's a dead person.

Gu's worried heart suddenly hit rock bottom.

However, before his disappointment could completely dissipate and fill his heart, he saw intricate and complex patterns interweaving and shining inside the sarcophagus, sparkling under the divine power of the Heavenly Eye!

"This is?!"

Gu Dan was shocked and his eyes moved away from Mo Qiu's empty sea of ​​consciousness and turned to this seemingly ordinary and unremarkable sarcophagus.

Although he was a grandmaster before, he did not notice too many clues about the sarcophagus. It was just that when he was inside it, his soul was indeed much more active. After all, it was a relic left by an immortal, and it was reasonable that it still retained some magic after a thousand years.

But now that I have the ability of clairvoyance, the secret of the sarcophagus can no longer be hidden!

Under the divine power of the Heavenly Eye, countless lines intertwined and spread inside the sarcophagus, the complexity of which was even comparable to the blood Qi condensed by Gu Dan!

"What on earth is this?"

Gu Dan used all his strength to activate his divine power of the Sky Eye, trying to uncover the mystery of the sarcophagus. The colorful lights gathered, entangled, and surrounded him. A special kind of gravity emanated from it, and as he gazed, it actually pulled his soul!

However, that force was extremely weak and slow, so Gu Dan's soul was naturally able to resist it and was not affected.

Of course, his sea of ​​consciousness was inevitably stirred up by some minor waves because of this force.

“This, this, this”

The sudden change was something Gu Dan had never imagined.

At this time, he had a good understanding of the way of immortality. He had collected all the books on immortal cultivation in the Buzhou Mountains, but there was no record of this thing in them.

Even in the memories left by Venerable Bai Lian, there is no impression of this thing - of course, it is also possible that Venerable Bai Lian himself does not care about it, rather than not knowing about it.

Gu Dan did not dare to be careless. He used his divine eyes to carefully scan every inch of the sarcophagus.

Slightly different from the blood Qi, the texture inside the sarcophagus was not aggressive at all. Even if he stared at it for a long time, Gu Dan did not feel any stinging in his eyes, which was quite different from the blood Qi.

But at the same time, even though he could see the complex interweaving of textures, he could not understand the true rules contained therein and could only rely on his own perception to guess their function.

To put it bluntly, his accumulation in the way of immortals, relying on the immortal cultivation classics in Buzhou Mountain, only gave him a deep understanding of Qi training and foundation building. He couldn't learn the more advanced ones even if he wanted to!

"The texture inside this sarcophagus is as complex as the blood energy, but it is not an offensive force, but some kind of soul-transmitting force?"

Gu Dan seemed to be thinking about something.

After all, this is a coffin. I don't think any powerful person would choose a coffin as his weapon.

Since it is a coffin, its greatest use should be to provide a peaceful sleep. This is a truth that everyone knows.

Although the immortal way is countless levels higher than the mortal world, it has after all gradually developed from the mortal world, so it is reasonable that they have some similar principles.

The only thing that is unclear is where the subtle and strange teleporting power inside this immortal coffin will send the human soul.

Gu Dan's gaze fell back on Mo Qiu's empty sea of ​​consciousness.

Did Mo Qiu's soul perish naturally, or was it secretly teleported to some unknown place by the power inside this immortal coffin?

If it was the former, Mo Qiu would be dead and there would be no way to save him.

But if it is the latter, Mo Qiu's soul must still be somewhere he doesn't know!

In addition, the physical body still has vitality, so it is possible to "resurrect from the dead"!

Even a tiny possibility is particularly precious to Gu Dan.

God will never leave us without a way out!

After thinking for a long time, Gu Dan closed the immortal coffin again.

Even his divine eyes could not see through the true function of this immortal coffin. With his current knowledge of immortality, he did not dare to move Mo Qiu's body at will.

Just with the power of Ruomu, Mo Qiu's body was once again provided with a great deal of potential vitality to maintain its activity.

On the bright side, Mo Qiu's soul was simply taken to a certain place by the immortal coffin.

Since the immortal coffin can teleport people, it should still maintain the connection between the body and the soul.

If he rashly brought Mo Qiu's body out, or accidentally caused irreversible damage to the immortal coffin when exploring it, then Mo Qiu's soul would most likely be like a kite with a broken string, never to find its way home.

To be on the safe side, even if he realized the extraordinary nature of the immortal coffin, he could not do anything to it.

"When the immortal path is revived in the future, I will go to the Great Immortal Sect to explore and search. The internal texture of this immortal coffin is not much inferior to the blood qi, so I think it is also an extremely important secret object.

Its shape is so unique, it shouldn't be difficult to find. With the qualifications of the Great Dao Body, I can quickly approach the core figures of the Great Immortal Sect and will not worry about not being able to explore the mystery of the Immortal Coffin!"

Gu Dan already had some thoughts in his mind.

The mood that had almost lost all hope was ignited with a little spark.

How powerful is the immortal way?

Perhaps those who are considered incurable by grandmasters or even those at the innate level of martial arts are not difficult to cure in the immortal realm? With the improvement of strength and the expansion of horizons, many "mortal" things in the mortal world can no longer be generalized!

Who said Mo Qiu couldn't survive? !

As long as there is a slight chance, Gu Dan will save him! He wants Mo Qiu to see with his own eyes that in his hands, Xia Chao has lived up to his expectations.

After leaving the place where the White Lotus was inherited, Gu Dan returned to the imperial capital.

His divine power of heaven's eye naturally opened up, and before he returned to the Gu family courtyard, he first glanced at the imperial palace - to see if his old friend was still there.

This glance immediately caught Gu Dan's attention. At this moment, a particularly fierce debate was going on in the temple of the Xia Dynasty, and the debate was so heated that the people were in red faces.

There is actually a familiar face in there.

At that moment, Gu Dan turned around and headed towards the Xia Dynasty's imperial palace.

More than sixty years later, these descendants are still working hard on the land of the Xia Dynasty.

I feel very comforted.
