Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 125: The Golden Energy is in Hand, the Cause of the Disaster in Zhanzhou

Li Zhi very tacitly handed the jar he had been carrying on his back to Lou Manlou when Master Liu opened his mouth.

Lou Manlou glanced at Li Zhi. After taking the jar, he did not open it to take a look. Instead, he said to Master Liu: "Your disciple is not bad."

Immortal Master Liu smiled when he heard this, and said, "The person I choose is naturally good!"

"Come on, sit inside with me."

As soon as Lou Manlou finished speaking, Li Zhi suddenly felt a strong sense of weightlessness, as if he was stepping on empty air, and his whole body shook involuntarily.

After waking up suddenly, Li Zhi was shocked to find that the environment he was in had completely changed. The original courtyard was gone, replaced by a spacious and magnificent hall.

Li Zhi looked around blankly, and Master Liu and Lou Manlou were already sitting on the chairs beside him.

Lou Manlou clapped his hands, and the door of the hall was suddenly pushed open, and a maid walked in carrying a plate with a stone on it.

Li Zhi's attention was instantly attracted by the stone. He sensed that the inconspicuous stone contained a rich golden aura!

The maid held the stone and walked to Master Liu. Master Liu waved his hand at Li Zhi and said, "Put it away."

Li Zhi hurriedly stepped forward, took the stone from the maid's hand, and then wrapped it up.

He came here from afar just for this piece of broken stone, and now he has finally put his mind at ease.

Li Zhi sat down on a chair beside him with satisfaction, and the confusion he had just felt was no longer in his heart.

Master Liu ignored Li Zhi and continued talking to Lou Manlou.

Suddenly Li Zhi heard Lou Manlou say: "The Chu State has spent a huge amount of money this time. He is going to use the entire Zhanzhou as capital to negotiate with the Yong State."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi asked in confusion, "Senior Lou, didn't the Chu army run away? How can we use Zhanzhou to negotiate with Yongguo?"

Hearing this, Lou Manlou said, "I was the one who drove the Chu army away. I thought they were too noisy outside me."

Li Zhi was stunned when he heard this. He thought that it was the military of Yong State that dispatched troops to drive away the Chu Army. It was no wonder. If it was Yong State that took action, it should not have driven away the Chu Army and let Zhanzhou fall into such a cruel situation now.

However, Li Zhi still didn't understand. He asked, "If the Chu army leaves, won't Zhanzhou still belong to Yongguo?"

Lou Manlou shook his head and asked, "When you came here just now, did you see what was happening outside?"

Li Zhi nodded, and couldn't help but think of the scenes he had just seen. He said in a deep voice: "The whole city is full of corpses, people are eating people and flesh, it's like hell."

Lou Manlou agreed and said, "It's like hell! Do you know why the people of Zhanzhou would rather stay in this hell than leave Zhanzhou?"

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, then said uncertainly: "Could it be that they are restricted by something?"

"That's right. The Chu army used the souls of hundreds of thousands of Zhanzhou people as a sacrifice, and branded the souls of all Zhanzhou people."

After taking a sip of tea, Lou Manlou continued, "It is this mark that prevents these Zhanzhou people from leaving the entire Zhanzhou."

Li Zhi frowned and said, "They restricted the people of Zhanzhou from leaving Zhanzhou, so I guess Zhanzhou must have other plans of theirs?"

At this time, Master Liu said, "They have drained all the vitality of Zhanzhou... Zhanzhou is now a dead place!"

When Li Zhi heard this, his heart was shocked. He suddenly remembered that it was no wonder that since he set foot in Zhanzhou, all the scenes he saw were red and yellow and bleak, without a trace of life and vitality.

But at that time, his mind was so shocked by the corpses all over the ground and the lifeless living people that he didn't pay attention to other aspects.

Looking back now, it seems that Zhanzhou was full of barren land, cracked riverbeds, withered trees and dead grass.

There is no sign of life at all!

Zhanzhou is now equivalent to being useless.

Now the people of Zhanzhou have fallen to the point of eating dirt and cannibalism. Even if Yongguo rescues them, can they return to their previous lives as ordinary people?

Li Zhi felt that he could never go back.

After Master Liu chatted with Lou Manlou for a few more words, he saw Li Zhi winking at him, and Master Liu knew that Li Zhi was anxious to refine the golden energy.

So, he said goodbye to Lou Manlou.

Lou Manlou didn't keep them and just waved at them.

Li Zhi felt the scene before his eyes change, and he and Master Liu appeared in the original alley.

"Master, who is this Senior Lou? How come he came out with just a wave of his hand, without even the ability to resist?" Li Zhi couldn't help but ask Master Liu.

Immortal Master Liu also told Li Zhi directly: "This is the magic he practiced. It can create a small world. In his small world, he is the consciousness of heaven and earth in that world."

Li Zhi nodded when he heard this. This magic was indeed overbearing. Once you entered his world, wouldn't you become a fish on his chopping board?

Immortal Master Liu said, "Let's go. I know you are anxious about the matter of Jin Xingqi, so you have been delayed."

After saying that, Master Liu and Li Zhi left the alley. Just when they were about to leave Zhanzhou directly, they heard someone shouting in front of them about grabbing meat.

They were obviously a group of half-dead people, but at this moment, each of them burst out with more violent strength than ordinary people.

Their eyes were red, as if the people standing in front of them were the enemies who murdered their fathers.

Li Zhi had often heard people say they were extremely hungry before, but now he really saw what it looked like to be extremely hungry.

 …

After Jin Mancang was helped back by his wife and son, black blood began to seep out from the places on his back that were scratched by the monster.

The black blood was so thick that it didn't look like blood at all, and it was accompanied by a foul odor that was even worse than the rotting corpses outside.

Jin Mancang's son frowned. Although he was only eleven or twelve years old, there was not the slightest bit of childish innocence on his face. Instead, he had the same sad expression as his father, Jin Mancang, but also a hint of ruthlessness that his father did not have.

"Dad, has your wound split open again? You are a sickly person who went to pick a fight with Ma Da, aren't you asking for a beating? There are only three of us left at home now, so just be quiet for a while... My little sister has... Hey!"

Jin Mancang's son muttered to himself while reaching out to take off Jin Mancang's clothes, and then removed the black and yellow bandages that were tied around Jin Mancang's body.

As soon as the bandage was removed, Jin Mancang's son couldn't help but widen his eyes. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and ran outside to vomit violently.

But he hadn't eaten for a long time, and his stomach was full of dirt. How could he vomit anything out? He could only vomit sour water all over the floor.

When Jin Mancang's wife saw this, she hurried over and said, "What's going on..."

Before she could finish her words, she opened her mouth wide, unable to make any sound, her face full of fear.

Behind her husband Jin Mancang, maggots as thick as thumbs were moving behind him. Jin Mancang's back was covered with rotten black flesh and white bones!

On Jin Mancang's face, which she could not see, black blood as black as ink was already flowing out from his seven orifices. At this moment, Jin Mancang was no longer alive.
