Chapter 322: Man and Beast Are Inseparable
They couldn't believe it, but they had to believe that what the old Tao in front of them had done before was to cater to the rebellious army, not to cater to the will of heaven. But they don't want to believe that they have become the accomplices of this old thing with a "human face and beast heart" in a few months.
When they wake up from the "yellow dream", they should realize that this is the reality. That prosperous place, in the vast clouds of smoke, is just an illusory dream. But they don't want to wake up, they don't want to face the cruel reality again, Chengde Town has been destroyed, and the former home is only lonely and bloody, all of which they don't want to face.
And when the old Taoist came here to preach, what he pursued was the so-called heavenly choice, and now I think about it, I also feel ridiculous. Those who did not want to believe it were beheaded one by one, and they could only watch what was happening in front of them numbly, silent.
It is such cowardice and retreat that those who dare to resist sacrifice in vain. It also made them fall into a deep illusion, unable to wake up on their own will.
This is the sorrow of troubled times, and under blind worship, it is almost distorted human nature. The numb mind has made it difficult for them to return to their normal lives, and perhaps they don't want to go back at all.
If they hadn't succumbed to the rebellion and demons, they wouldn't have fallen into what they are today. But where in this world comes from, it is the end of one wrong step and one wrong step......
The old man on the altar was still twitching, and the old yellow head had let go of his hand, allowing him to twist, roll, and wail on the altar. Perhaps such an ending can slightly comfort the wounded hearts of these people.
A brief silence was followed by a hoarse outburst. These people, who were addicted to "a dream of yellow sorghum" and did not want to wake up, began to become hysterical and crazy after the faith in their hearts gradually collapsed. Some of them rushed at Lao Dao like crazy, and began to bite at his bare skin, like bloodthirsty beasts.
And the old man's body was still twisting at this time, but there was irrepressible fear in his eyes. One bite after another, the skin and flesh quickly disintegrated and melted. The old man's bare skin has already revealed his white bones.
The old yellow head moved to the side with interest, looking indifferently at everything in front of him, watching an individual slowly turn into a beast and gradually lose his humanity. This is the bloody truth of the troubled times, and it is also the naked sorrow of this era......
The person in the sedan sighed lightly, as if he had a feeling, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only replace helplessness with a light sigh. What he felt in his heart was the worry about the injustice of the troubled times, and the sigh for the false beauty that he had just exposed.
If he didn't do that, would these people still live in the "yellow sorghum dream" and live their lives in a state of confusion, and is it too cruel for him to pull them back to reality so stiffly......
Hades Venerable walked to the front of the sedan chair, tapped the edge of the sedan chair and said, "Mr. Chen doesn't need to worry, this is just the established rule in troubled times." If they are really given unrealistic fantasies, it will lead them to a dead end. ”
The people were still gnawing and tearing at the Taoists of Penglai Immortal Mountain, turning a deaf ear to everything behind them. And those who did not participate in it, one by one, looked blankly at the devastation around them, and could only raise their hands helplessly, scratching in the void in a panic, becoming extremely unfamiliar with everything in front of them.
"Such a blow is not something that ordinary people can bear, but the next road has to be walked by themselves." After listening to the relief of the Immortal Venerable, Chen Fusheng said earnestly.
The crowd didn't want to linger any longer, so they sorted out their emotions and walked forward again. This trip to Chengde Town made everyone's hearts tighten again, and also made them more eager to hope that in the near future, the world can be peaceful.
The second girl in the carriage opened the curtain at some point, but was startled by the scene in front of her and fell back. I only heard a shout, and Yi Nanxing, who was driving, said in an emotionless tone: "Child, this is a troubled time, and you must be extra careful in the future." ”
After saying that, he whipped on the buttocks of the good horse and ran forward......
Soon after the group left, the group of people who had retreated into "beasts" began to attack the bewildered people around them, they had lost their minds, but the instinct of survival was still driving them to live.
It's impossible to start life again, but you can quench your hunger for a while, even if you kill each other.
At the moment when the people were tearing and biting, another person not far away was late, but it was appropriate. It seems that he has been waiting for this moment to come. I saw that his figure was bumpy and convex, and it seemed to complement her pretty face, but the disgust and coldness in her eyes made everyone who saw her shudder.
The person who came was none other than Lingling, who was waiting for an opportunity outside the city. It's just that she didn't expose her target, but chose to wait until this incident before she showed up. Ling Ling looked at everything in front of him, slowly pulled out his short knife, and walked forward with graceful steps.
Those people who had fallen into madness, when they saw this lonely stranger, their faces were hideous, and there was still a little red flesh between their teeth, looming. The closest few people had already rushed towards Lingling, and they didn't see her hesitate at all, but they just swiped forward lightly, and the person's eyes were black, his body was separated, and he was angry on the spot.
If it had been a different day, these people would have fled in all directions, but the events of the past few months had shattered their minds, and where could they see the danger that was coming.
Seeing that the former companions, now the blood food has fallen, a few people rushed to Lingling without knowing whether they were alive or dead, but more of them pounced on the people who were separated, as if they had forgotten their acquaintances, as well as the meeting made at sunrise and the stay at sunset.
There was not a trace of pity in Lingling's eyes, it was all contempt and spurning for these people who had lost their minds.
"Humanity, that's all." Ling Ling thought like this, and the short knife in his hand began to dance lightly with his body, like a dancer dancing "Beauty Walk", smiling and turning everyone upside down with his gestures. But these people began to wail in pain after the blade cut through their skin, as if they had forgotten the pain inflicted on others, and they could not empathize with it.
Perhaps, Lingling's blade dragged them back to reality from their madness, and this time waiting for them was eternal silence and relief.
When the last head fell to the ground, a light rain began to fall in the sky, as if to wash away all sin and regenerate the earth. But how can this sin, which has been rooted in the soil, be washed away by a "timely rain"? It's just to hide the sores on the surface, the decay that goes deep into the bone marrow, and it is still encroaching on this unsustainable land......
Lingling let the rain wash over the blade, washing away the stain. Then he put his knife in his sheath, put on his hat, and went deep into the rain.
…………
At this time, the group had already walked for about half an hour, but they had not gone far, but after a few miles, they were hit by a torrential rain, and they had to compromise and find a place to stay. In the distance, I saw a series of military camps in the rain, and soldiers in armor and crossbows were looking at them fiercely.
And the young Taoist who was knocked away by Lao Huangtou's elbow just now and fell to the ground and pretended to be dead was standing next to a general who was eight feet tall and had a tiger's back, and seemed to be saying something.
Everyone stopped moving forward, and the two sides confronted each other like this, and there was an irrepressible coughing sound in the sedan chair, which made the woman who shook the fan feel distressed again.
After a while, the general took a few steps forward, and he didn't see his sword drawn, but came to the front of the team, clenched his fists and said loudly: "This general is stationed here, what is the so-called matter when you come here?" ”
The old yellow man's messy hair had been soaked by the rain at this time, and when he heard this, he stepped forward and said with a hippie smile: "I just got into trouble, I want to come to the general's place to avoid the limelight." ”
Luo Xiu was a little annoyed when he heard the words of the old yellow head, and stepped forward in a few steps as if to justify a few words. Unexpectedly, he was punched in the abdomen by the old yellow head, his face changed, and he couldn't speak anymore. Mo Ye looked at Luo Xiu and looked at the back of the old yellow head, and couldn't help laughing.
This old man probably didn't finish venting his emotions just now, so he thought about stabbing these soldiers. In this way, if you bump into it, you can't blame others. Just now, the old Taoist of Penglai Xianshan also faintly mentioned the matter of the rebellion, since this person claims to be stationed, I am afraid that he will not be able to get out of it.
The general smiled contemptuously when he heard this, and then shouted with a straight face: "You are a thief, I have received a Luoyang Feishu, and I want to correct the law on the spot." If you know the times, do not resist, lest you suffer unwarranted calamities. As he spoke, the general's eyes turned to Bai Li's body. It turned out that the rain was too inopportune, soaking everyone's body, and Bai Ya's bumpy figure was exposed.
Not only the general, but even the soldiers standing at the front also showed a look of urgency, wanting to take down these people, waiting for the generals to enjoy them, so as to cheapen them.
The old yellow head followed the gaze of the general and the others, and suddenly understood. But then he continued to smile and said: "The general sees that we are soaked, where do you dare to resist, hurry up and arrest us and bring us to justice, it is a hot meal." The old yellow head said that he was about to move forward, looking like he was going to surrender.
But a hysterical voice suddenly came out behind the general, which seemed to hate the old yellow head, "The general must not believe this old slippery head's words, the master died tragically under his butcher's knife." ”
The old yellow head wrinkled his nose and was a little displeased, "You little doll, how can you open your mouth and speak in the vernacular, where did I get this butcher's knife, and how can I kill your master?" As he spoke, he stepped forward and looked like he wanted to ask clearly.
But what a shrewd person the general was, he immediately raised his hand to stop the old yellow head from moving forward, "Don't be impatient, old man, I will find out the rights and wrongs." But for now, please be obedient and catch it. ”
The old yellow head had stopped within the range of the crossbowman, and he did not continue to step forward, but just looked at the young Taoist from afar through the general, and from time to time showed intimidation. The frightened young Taoist fell to the ground, causing a group of soldiers to laugh.
The young Taoist didn't care a lot, so he sat on the ground and kept pointing at the old yellow head and scolding, maybe this person had a common enmity with him. If you want to talk about it, his master did die because of the old yellow head, but it is unknown how much affection this master has with his apprentice.
If you want to talk about the real reason, I am afraid that these people mistook his good deeds, so that his original drunken life completely disappeared, which may be the crux of the problem......
