Chapter 055: Wu You's Death
The man from the Western Sect retreated in defeat, and Zhang Ming didn't chase after him, but just turned around and returned to the Divine Domain after watching the other party leave.
Since he had caught the traces of the Western Sect, Zhang Ming was not very worried.
Of course, this is also an inevitable change in strength.
On this day, an uninvited guest came to the cold county office.
Since Zhang Ming became the county seat, the Shinto army entered, and the power was reintegrated and gathered in Zhang Ming's hands.
Although Wu You was a little uncomfortable, he was also prepared, and even cooperated with Zhang Ming to make some adjustments on weekdays.
However, the county government has also been deserted.
Wu You had just returned to his residence and lay down that day, when the door of his room was opened silently, and a man in black appeared in Wu You's room.
I saw a slight click, and Mrs. Wu You, who was on the side, suddenly fell unconscious.
"Who?!" Wu You sat up from the bed suddenly, holding the bedside sword with both hands, and looked at the man in black.
"Lord Wu, we haven't known each other for a year?" the visitor smiled lightly, not seeming to be worried about the other party yelling.
Wu You felt that this person's voice was a little familiar, and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, looking at it so closely, he really had some impressions.
"Are you Brother Li?" Wu You said hesitantly.
"Haha, I thought Master Wu had forgotten his old man. The man then found a stool and sat down on his own.
Wu You's mind was racing, but he said quietly: "Brother Li is from the county town, but what instructions does the county guard have?"
This Brother Li is the confidant of the county guard, and he went to the county town to ask for help last year because of the harassment of fierce spirits and evil ghosts around the county, hoping that the county town could support some grain and grass.
At that time, this person helped himself to say that although he had not succeeded in obtaining food and grass, he also received a good relationship with this person.
It's just that at this time, it is really a little strange for this person to appear in his room at night, and Wu You didn't expect that the other party's literati could also climb over the wall to enter the room.
"I don't dare to take the instructions, but the things that Lord Wu has done make the county always a little dissatisfied, and the county guard is a little dissatisfied when he hears that Anping County has become under the direct rule of the gods. ”
"Brother Li, there was a Western Sect investigator at that time, and I had no choice, Brother Li should know that those people of the Western Sect, if those people were allowed to occupy Anping County, it would be better for me and other people in Middle-earth to give it to the gods. Wu You said in a deep voice.
"The county keeper naturally knows about this, otherwise he wouldn't have let me come to see you overnight. This Brother Li had a sincere look in his eyes and said softly.
"I don't know what Lord County Shou commands?" Lord County Shou asked me to come and tell Lord Wu that although the gods are reliable, after all, they are not of my race, and our human race is already weak, so we can only strive for self-improvement, unite as one, prepare to develop the county town, unite all the forces that can be united to resist the invasion of Western religions, and let my human race have a greater say even after relying on the gods. ”
The man said, looking at Wu You: "And Lord Wu, as the parent official of my human race, Lord County Shou attaches great importance to you, and wants you to return to the county town and carry the people of my county together with Lord County Shou!"
Wu Youyan's eyes were a little complicated when he heard this, and there were some things that everyone knew, but they couldn't make a better choice.
It's not that they don't want to choose, as the other party said, or the Terrans are too weak.
But is what the county keeper said really right? This world is full of demons and monsters, and there are Western religions eyeing each other, and the human race cannot compete with these forces at all, so they can only rely on the gods.
Since the disappearance of the gods three years ago, what happened to the Terrans has clearly proved this.
But as a human race, why don't you want to make the human race strong......
The man in black paused, and then said: "Originally, Lord County Guard could directly issue an edict to let you return to the county town, but I was worried that it would go against your will, so I came to discuss with you overnight, and you decided to stay for yourself." ”
"I still need to think about it. Wu You couldn't make up his mind for a while.
"Lord Wu can naturally think about it, but think about it at this time, the city has been stabilized by the gods, and the people in the city are not stable, and everything in the county is chaotic and needs the adults to help the county guard stabilize the situation, and one day later there will be one more day of crisis, and those people in the West ......"
"Those people from the Western Sect have also entered the county town?" Wu You was stunned when he heard this.
"Well, the people of the Western Sect are also coercing the adults now, but Lord Wu can rest assured, the county guard has a complete strategy to temporarily block the threat of the Western Sect, but after all, the manpower is limited, and the penetration of the Western Sect among the civilians is a bit powerful. ”
Wu You's heart was finally moved, and his mind became a little uncertain.
A gleam flashed in the eyes of the man next to him, and he didn't say more, quietly waiting for the other party's reply.
"I ...... I agree to go back to the county town!" Wu You finally made a decision.
"That's very good, then I will go directly to the city tomorrow to read the county order, and I hope that Lord Wu will be able to leave with me at that time. Hearing this, there was a hint of joy on this person's face, and he said in a loud voice.
Wu You nodded, knowing in his heart that Lord County's order was probably in this person's arms at this time.
"But before leaving, I need to talk to Yan Jun to avoid misunderstandings. Wu You then said again.
"That's nature. The man surnamed Li smiled lightly and turned to leave.
Not long after, Mrs. woke up and looked at Wu You sitting at the table and couldn't help but say suspiciously: "Husband, why haven't you rested?" Well, why is the window open, although it is already March, it is still a little cold. ”
So saying, the woman got up and closed the window.
"You can rest for a while, and I'll go out. ”
"Where are you going so late?"
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon. ”
......
"Mr. Wu really wants to leave?" In the temple, Zhang Ming appeared and sat opposite Wu You.
"Please also forgive Yan Jun, the county needs to be down, and everything has settled down here, I only hope that Yan Jun can treat the people well. ”
"Alas, I was originally going to let Mr. Wu take charge of the city after this busy time, but I didn't expect Mr. Wu to leave...... In that case, I can't stop it, but I have a gift for parting. ”
As he spoke, without waiting for Wu You to refuse, a trace of spiritual light flashed between his hands, and then a spiritual rune condensed by the power of faith appeared.
"This is a piece of peace charm, if there is anything that can crush the peace charm, I will get the news to go to the rescue, and it can be regarded as the fate of our acquaintance. ”
Zhang Ming's words may sound like a curse to others, but in this world, it is really not a curse, and no one knows what will happen tomorrow.
Zhang Ming was able to make such a promise, which is the importance of Wu You.
Wu You was a little moved in his heart when he heard this, nodded heavily, and got up to leave.
However, at the moment of leaving the temple gate, he suddenly paused, hesitated and finally spoke: "I think Yan Jun wants to do something, if this is the case, it is still a little inappropriate to manage the human race with the temple after all, and I ask Yan Jun to think more." ”
"I have written down what Mr. said, and I have already made up my mind about this matter, so I don't have to worry about it. Zhang Ming glanced at the other party in surprise, and then nodded solemnly and said.
Wu You didn't say anything more when he heard this, and turned to leave.
Zhang Ming watched the other party's back leave, and his heart shook slightly.
The sentence that the other party said was actually something that he had been thinking about recently.
After the fusion of one's own humanity and Shinto, the system has been established, and the leader of Shinto is in charge of himself, and the control of the human race is through the temple.
However, if you think about it carefully, most of the temple priests in the temple choose pious people to do things, but in fact, there is a lack of talent assessment, which is somewhat problematic in the management of believers and human races.
Now the stall is small, and it is not very obvious, but if it is a time and the stall is getting bigger and bigger, this kind of disadvantage will inevitably appear more.
"It seems that I still need to continue to grow, the divine right of the monarch, maybe I can use this method to ......" Zhang Ming's mind suddenly sounded in the world he once lived in, the era of powerful religious rule in the West.
"Establish a doctrine, claim to be Yan Jun, integrate humane Shinto, re-establish the ruling team of the Terrans, use the Shinto army as the basis of force, and select shrewd and capable people from among the Terrans to cultivate Miaozhu or Yanjun's envoys, so as to divide the ...... of all parties"
One thought after another rose in Zhang Ming's heart, and then it was constantly integrated and improved, and then a vague thought appeared.
"Yan Jundian ......" Zhang Ming's heart moved slightly, and a name jumped into his heart.
On the morning of the second day, sure enough, a man in white entered the city and handed it over to Wu You with an order from the city.
Wu You left the county seat with his family in a low-key manner, and slowly walked towards the county town under Zhang Mingshen's gaze.
Zhang Ming has a lot of regrets in his heart, Wu You still has some talents, and he has ideas and deeds, if he can stay and help him do things, it would be a good choice.
But he didn't want to force the other party, since the other party wanted to go back to the county town, then let the other party go back.
All the way, more than ten people of the Wuyou tribe went to the county seat.
Because although Wu You and his wife have been married for many years, they have never had children, and it is easy to clean up.
The carriage and horses were a little shaky, making people drowsy, but thinking of the upcoming arrival in the county town, Wu You still forced himself to stay awake, he needed to sort out the various thoughts in his heart, and how to face the predicament in the city when the time came.
In the afternoon, the carriage had slowly left the Anping County Divine Domain, and from this moment on, there were some lonely ghosts wandering in the wilderness, but the people who came had already prepared, and there were formations in the carriage, so there was no need to worry too much.
Wu You himself has an official body and is also protected by luck.
If the journey goes well, after a night's rest, you should be able to reach the county seat tomorrow at noon.
"Brother Li, I'm tired this time. The carriage came to a slow halt, and the crowd began to distribute food and drink.
Wu You came to the man's side and said with a smile.
"What's so bothering about this, Lord Wu must not talk like that. ”
The man smiled slightly, as if he didn't care.
Just looked around subconsciously, and then glanced in the direction of a few tall trees in the distance.
Wu You didn't notice the other party's eyes, and communicated with the other party about some county things.
However, he could feel that the other party seemed to be a little absent-minded, and Wu You was only uneasy because the other party was worried about the safety of the road, but he didn't care too much.
"Hmm, it's ......" But just as Wu You was about to return to the carriage, the man suddenly said.
"It's here, Brother Li......" Wu You said in surprise, but then he saw the man's eyes that seemed to be smiling.
I don't know why Wu You suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and he subconsciously wanted to ask.
But suddenly a gust of wind blew around, and then shadows flashed by.
Wu You was stunned, and a miserable scream suddenly came from the two carriages.
"It's not good, there are powerful ghosts attacking!" Wu You was shocked in his heart, his wife was still in the car!
But the carriage is obviously forbidden, why didn't there be any reaction just now?!
The thought flashed through my mind.
But before he could get close to the carriage, one after another screams rang out, and the people who followed fell to the ground one by one with miserable faces.
"What the hell is going on!?" Wu You wanted to question the man surnamed Li, but the man had already retreated.
"You Wu You colluded with the evil god and violated the king's will to deserve the death penalty, today is your death date!" the man sneered and laughed suddenly.
"I see, I see......" Wu You suddenly felt cold, where did he not know that the county guard was probably in collusion with the Western Sect......
Wu You died, and at the moment before he died, he suddenly remembered something, and took out a jade talisman from his arms, and the jade talisman shattered, but a cold light had already crossed his neck......
The jade talisman is a sword to guard against demons and monsters, but it cannot house the same kind of sword.
A phantom figure sprang up from the corpse, and when some powerful ghosts tried to kill it, it was bounced open by a light curtain.
Then, without waiting for the man surnamed Li to move, a young man with a cold expression appeared in front of everyone.
"Kill ......" Zhang Ming's voice sounded faintly, and then there was a violent wind, and the dozens of ghosts and ghosts around him were all killed by the Yin soldiers, and when the man surnamed Li wanted to escape, he was pierced through the heart by Zhang Ming's waist.
There was no wound to be seen on the outside, but the heart had been shattered by the sword qi.
"Mr. Wu, I'm late......" Zhang Ming said to the confused Wu You spirit with some guilt.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the worry-free soul has been preserved, but at this time, I am deeply affected and some can't accept the reality.
Until he was brought back to the jurisdiction by Zhang Ming, he woke up at night.
The souls of the relatives around him were torn apart by the ghosts, but fortunately, the soul of the old wife was damaged, but she was saved by Zhang Ming, but the soul was injured and it seemed that she couldn't remember Wu You.
After experiencing pain, Wu You finally asked Zhang Ming to let his wife go to the underworld to become a ghost and start over, waiting for the day when he could be reincarnated.
But he took the initiative to stay and was willing to help Zhang Ming.
What happened today had a great impact on Wu You, he couldn't imagine the result of the county town falling into the Western Sect, he could only do his best to help Zhang Ming.
