Chapter 155, Young Man
Jiang Liu and the other three entered the official road from the path. This official road is still built by the first generation of the city lord of Tianyu City, when the first generation of the city lord Wan Qingnian made a grand wish, spent thousands of manpower, endless financial resources to build this official road, the official road is ten zhang wide, the starting point is Biyi Village on the edge of the Fengxin Forest, and the end point is the easternmost Tianlong Sect of the Eastern Continent, which runs through the entire Eastern Continent, like a long sword to cut the Eastern Continent into two parts, north and south.
The official road is called the King's Avenue, the name is from the status of Wan Qingnian in people's hearts, Wan Qingnian was amazing, the strength is to reach the nine layers of heavenly martial arts, close to the existence of the strongest human being, he is modest, never proud of his strength, never to govern people by force, but to virtue, under his rule the eastern continent has prospered for thousands of years, in the hearts of the people he is a well-deserved king.
The King's Avenue has made the various sects, large and small cities in the eastern continent more closely connected, and the exchanges are more convenient, which has benefited many generations.
And with his departure, Tianyu City changed hands several times, and the major sects fell into a struggle for power, people pursued strength, pursued power, and fought constantly, whoever has the strength and whose power is strong, who can continue to rule the Eastern Continent.
Therefore, in the past few hundred years, the Eastern Continent has never had a peaceful life, and the only important thing in people's hearts is strength, which is cultivation, to Jiang Liu's father's generation, Jiang Liu's father Jiang Chen has gone through hundreds of battles, large and small, and has become the city lord of Tianyu City with absolute strength.
But he didn't expect that his ambition had not yet begun to be implemented, and he was plotted by one of his disciples, he lost his cultivation, and Tianyu City was also taken away by the Tianlong Sect, and Jiang Chen lived in seclusion in Jiangcun, a small mountain village in Fengxin Forest, and was disheartened from then on.
In the past days in Tianyu City, Jiang Liu's father was busy with things, never had time to care about Jiang Liu, and never fulfilled the responsibility of being a father.
But after arriving in Jiangcun, his father spent more time with her and his mother, and there was a lot of laughter on his face, so Jiang Liu thought that such a life was happy, so she never wanted to go out of the new forest, and her father also began to get used to the life of Jiangcun, and he even began to get used to being an ordinary person.
It wasn't until Yi Feng brought the news of Tianyu City that Jiang Chen began to frantically restore his strength again, in order to regain Tianyu City, at that time, Jiang Liu blamed her senior brother, why did she come to destroy their peaceful life, and why did her father return to that life of endless strife.
But now Jiang Liu understands a little.
She took Fang Qing and Li Shun to drive on this King's Avenue for three days, and what she saw in three days made her feel angry in her heart.
In the past three days, they passed through more than a dozen villages, almost all of them were empty, some villages were even burned down, and occasionally found that a few people were also some old people, sick people, crippled, pregnant women, in short, they were all people who had lost their laborers, when Jiang Liu asked them where the people in the village had gone, they all got the same answer from them: they were all captured by a young man, that young man was from Tianyu City, he didn't know where he was caught, he didn't know what he was going to do.
Jiang Liu asked again, "What is the name of that young man?"
The humans: "No one knows, his men call him the Boss."
"What does he look like?"
Thin and tall, he is not ugly, but he is cruel and kills people at every turn. ”
The young people of Tianyu City, the boss in their mouths, what are they doing arresting these ordinary people? Jiang Liu kept asking himself.
The following day, the villages began to become fewer, and the roads were lined with hills, streams, small lakes, and pavilions for pedestrians to rest.
On this day, Jiang Liu saw a very miserable scene by a gazebo.
More than a dozen corpses, lying in mud puddles.
More than a dozen headless corpses, both men and women, their heads rolled on the side of the road, and they couldn't tell which one was on which corpse, both the head and the corpse were covered with flies, emitting a rotting stench.
As soon as Jiang Liu smelled the smell, he ran to the side to vomit, Fang Qing wanted to be a little better, but Li Shun threw himself straight on those corpses, if Jiang Liu hadn't pulled it hard, she was really worried that Li Shun would do something.
Fang Qing looked at these corpses and said, "All of them are ordinary people. ”
Jiang Liu said: "Just look at their hands, they are full of cocoons, although the cultivators also have knots on their hands, they can still be distinguished from those in their hands." ”
Fang Qing said: "It's so miserable! They still have the marks on their hands that have been tied. ”
Jiang Liu said: "It seems that they are some of the villagers who were arrested, and they were killed because of resistance. ”
Fang Qingdao: "Hmm." ”
Fang Qingdao: "If they can cultivate, won't they be like this if they have cultivation?"
Jiang Liu couldn't answer his question, because cultivators would also die and be killed, but it was not very possible to be killed by such a miserable group on the side of the road?
Li Shun's chain rang for a while, and he wanted to pounce on those corpses again, Jiang Liu grabbed him hard, Jiang Liu'er saw his long fangs, saw his bared teeth, grinning, and smirking, and the eyes in the dark circles were full of expectation, and Jiang Liu's heart felt a chill.
Fang Qing cried with a sad face and said, "Look, they are as despicable as the dirt on the side of the road, slaughtered and trampled on!"
After a long time, he said, "I'm the same, I don't want this!"
Hearing Fang Qing say this, Jiang Liu's heart was very uncomfortable, Jiang Liu said: "Actually, ordinary people are not humble, those who can cultivate are not born with cultivation, they also start from ordinary people, if there are no ordinary people, there will be no those who cultivate, if there is no soil, where can there be so many thriving lives!"
Jiang Liu said: "Ordinary people shouldn't be treated like this!"
Having said that, Fang Qing's mood couldn't be better, so when he hurried next, he was very dull and never spoke, and for a while, only the sound of Li Shun's iron chain was left on the road.
They arrived outside Eagle Plate City that night.
There is also a small village outside the city, and there is an unknown small hotel in the village, where Jiang Liu and the others stay. The innkeeper was a middle-aged man in his forties, and when he first saw Fang Qing's rough face and tattered clothes, he wanted to drive him out, but as soon as he saw Jiang Liu behind him and the iron chain in Jiang Liu's hand, he immediately changed his face.
I just heard him say, "Oh, little boss, are you unlucky today?"
Jiang Liu said: "What?"
The innkeeper pointed behind Jiang Liu and said, "If you're lucky, it's impossible to hunt only one person!"
Jiang Liu said: "Huh?"
Jiang Liu didn't understand what the innkeeper meant by "hunting a person", so he had this reaction, but the innkeeper obviously misunderstood, thinking that Jiang Liu was angry, and hurriedly said: "Oh, little boss, is it a small mouthy?
Jiang Liu: They have to live in a hotel and eat at the same time. The innkeeper took him into a room, which was very good in this hotel, and the boss also explained vigorously, saying: "The small shop is too shabby, there are few good rooms, and the rest of the better rooms have been occupied by several other little bosses, they came early, next time you come early, I will give you an upper room?"
Jiang Liu was annoyed by him and asked him to leave quickly, he glanced at Li Shun, and said, "Little boss, look at this prey of yours, I will take you to the firewood room below or what?"
Li Shun bared his teeth at him, and those two long teeth seemed to be shining with cold light.
Jiang Liu said: "Prey, suddenly I understood that he was talking about Li Shun. ”
Jiang Liu said angrily: "He's not a prey, he lives with us!"
The boss looked at her like a monster and left, muttering, "I've never seen a hunter like this."
After Jiang Liu placed Li Shun on the bed, Fang Qing poured a cup of tea and handed it to Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu said: "He said I was a hunter?"
Fang Qingdao: "Yes, he seems to say that Li Shun is the prey, how can Li Shun be the prey?"
Jiang Liu said: "He also said that I only 'hunted one person'?"
Fang Qing suddenly became angry, slapped the table, and said, "Spotted, they treat us ordinary people as prey!"
Jiang Liu said: "He still calls me 'little boss'?"
Fang Qingdao: "Yes, those villagers who stayed behind and were not arrested, also said that the people who captured them called the young people who took their lead 'boss'!"
Jiang Liu said: "It seems that he treats us as a gang of those people, and he also said that there are 'little bosses' living in several other rooms here?"
Fang Qingdao: "It seems that the 'young man' who arrested those villagers is in this hotel!"
Fang Qingdao said: "But why are they so hateful and treat ordinary people as prey?"
Jiang Liu suddenly thought of a possibility, she had guessed the identity of these people, only the Hunter Sect of the Heavenly Dragon Sect was so evil in the world, they were not hunting prey, they were hunting people.
It's just that this Hunter Sect has always only hunted those who cultivate, those who have cultivation, they make the cultivators they hunt into dolls, and the puppets lose consciousness and become their lifeless thugs, but it is very difficult to make dolls, and now the Hunter Sect only makes four puppets from the sect master Xu Ruiheng, and I heard that one of the puppets is also called Xiao Wu.
But is the Hunter Sect actually starting to attack ordinary people now? What do they want these ordinary people to do, these ordinary people have no cultivation at all, and their cultivation talent is also extremely low, basically called no, just like Fang Qing, can it be that making a puppet can still make these ordinary people become able to cultivate?
The more Jiang Liu thought about it, the more confused she became, and she thought of Li Shun again, so she thought of another possibility, could it be that he relied on the Demon Spirit Grass? Li Shun also became spiritually powerful in his body after eating the Demon Spirit Grass, and the people who started his frenzy to cultivate to a lower level were not his opponents.
The more Jiang Liu thought about it, the more confused he became, and the more terrifying he felt.
