Chapter 1367 Ten Days of Escape
"It's not that I don't believe it."
Xiao Lanyuan spoke first.
"I hope this is true, and that the blockade of this mechanism can save the people in the palace."
It would be great if it could be like Dark City.
There are still people alive in the palace.
The master of Youqing Temple shook his head.
"That's impossible. Before the disaster, the palace was emptied of all people. The palace was sealed off just to protect it. There's no way for people to survive there, and even if they could survive temporarily, it's not a long-term solution. So, they should have cleared everyone out at that time to let them find a better chance of survival."
Xiao Lanyuan couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
But I soon felt relieved. After all, how can a palace compare with a city with mountains and rivers?
Even if the palace had stored food and water, it would not be able to supply so many people for so many years.
"However," Youqing Temple Master said, "at that time, there should have been some people who were very loyal to the royal family and had a strong belief and sense of belonging to the palace. They were unwilling to leave and stayed in the palace. Maybe we can find their remains if we go in now."
Fu Zhaoning asked, "Master, you just said that letting the people in the palace leave was to find a greater chance of survival. Does this mean that before the disaster came, the people in the capital actually knew about it in advance?"
"yes."
The master of Youqing Temple looked at the city and sighed quietly.
"They knew there would be a catastrophe, but they didn't know exactly what would happen. At that time, the national master calculated the heavens and found several paths with hope, and guided them to choose one to escape."
The master of Youqing Temple added, "At that time, they were given a short time, only ten days. In those ten days, they could escape if they could, but if they couldn't, they would die. Therefore, the capital city at that time should have been empty in the end. Except for some people who felt that they could not escape anywhere within ten days, gave up escaping and chose to stay in their homes."
As for how many people there are in this group, I don’t know.
Fu Zhaoning looked at Xiao Lanyuan.
So his previous worry about the city being filled with skeletons should not exist. Although there would be some, there wouldn't be too many.
The words of the master of Youqing Temple ignited hope in their hearts.
Perhaps, those people who chose to embark on the road of escape succeeded? Did they really avoid the disaster? Did they build another dark city?
Or are there really any survivors among the people who stayed behind?
Anyway, it's better than what they originally thought, that the whole city was destroyed.
Human beings are still very tenacious. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, there will always be people who will not give up and survive.
"I'll go in with you." Fu Zhaoning held Xiao Lanyuan's hand. "No matter what the situation is, we'll face it together. A heavy snowstorm is coming. If we separate, some of us will be in the city and some will be outside the city. We will worry and care about each other."
Shen Qiao also spoke at this time.
"Yes, let's all go into the city together, so we can all be together and take care of each other."
"With so many of us, we can protect the princess well." Eleven and the others also spoke.
The master of Youqing Temple said, "Go in. Because the people from Shenyi Sect may appear at any time."
They had not encountered anyone from the Shenyi Sect in Dongqing for such a long time, but in fact, the Shenyi Sect had already entered Dongqing.
How could they be sure that the Shenyi Sect was not watching them in secret, wanting to take the opportunity to attack them when they found the entrance?
In any case, with the risk of the Shenyi Sect, it would be unsafe for Fu Zhaoning and his men to stay outside the city.
