Chapter 9: The Apocalypse

The believers in Xingcheng, who are said to be the most devout in the entire Wei state, began to bow down from a few miles outside the city. The city of Xingcheng is also the most magnificent in the Wei State, and it is said that the rich people in the city are so rich that they spend money like earth.

The situation in front of him is exactly like this, the long dragon of people is all kneeling down.

"Shall we go down and bow down?" Long Ying suddenly asked.

Chu Fei glanced at her and said, "No." ”

Long Ying didn't know why Chu Fei wanted to look at her, let alone why Chu Fei's words were so confident, it seemed that there was something hidden in it.

But before she could think about it, it was as if something had hit the carriage.

"What's going on outside?" asked Chu Fei.

"The old beggar crashed into the car. Qi Ergou said outside the car.

When Chu Fei heard the word beggar, he was particularly interested, and walked out of the car.

Long Ying also poked her head out.

In front of him, in the middle of the long line, there was a gray-haired beggar half-lying on the side of the carriage, looking listlessly at the people in the carriage, and said, "I'm so hungry, give me something to eat." ”

Chu Fei, who has always been cautious and cautious, somehow threw all the bags of baked cakes in the car to him without thinking about it.

"Thank you! Thank you!" the old beggar took the baked cake and ate it with his life.

"Sir, eat slowly, don't worry. Chu Fei said.

"This old man...... I seem to have seen ......," Qi Ergou scratched his head and looked at the old man who was eating the baked cakes and said.

"That's natural, five years ago, you forgot, I gave you the baked cake?" said the old beggar, and the foam of the baked cake in his mouth also squirted out.

"Sir still remembers, then I will wait for this to be regarded as a gratitude. Chu Fei said.

Long Ying thought to herself, sure enough, Chu Fei had been to Xingcheng, and it was five years ago.

"Girl, don't enter this city, it's a dead end!" The old beggar looked at Long Ying who poked her head out, but was not surprised by her beauty, and still ate the baked cake and said.

"Hey, you old man, why can't you spit out ...... dog's mouth?"

"Ah Zheng, don't be rude!" Chu Fei interrupted Qi Ergou's reprimand and looked at the old beggar.

"What the gentleman said was not good, but it was still advice. Chu Fei explained.

"Hmph!" the old beggar glanced at Qi Ergou.

"Kyoichi, this ...... What does the senior mean?" Long Ying was confused, not knowing what medicine was sold in Chu Fei's gourd.

"Five years ago, my husband pointed out a way for us to die, and naturally, today he also warned me to wait for a dead end, that's what it means. Chu Fei said.

"Yes, you are still insightful, and you haven't changed at all in five years. Why, do you still want to go into the city?" asked the old beggar.

"The road of life and death is the road, people are walking on the road, even if they stand in place, it is still the road. Since it has been in it for a long time, the so-called life and death are just people doing it, and the sky is watching. Chu Fei said.

"It's just people doing it, is the sky watching?" The old beggar suddenly stopped eating the cake and looked at Chu Fei seriously.

"In front of heaven, what I wait to do is naturally in his eyes, but what I want to do and decide is my business, not to mention such important matters as life and death. Chu Fei said in a cold voice.

"It's been five years, and you really haven't changed. It's just that I'm still saying that it's a dead end. The old beggar said.

"So what?" Chu Fei asked rhetorically.

"You yourself know the dangers of this road, why don't you let the people around you take refuge on your own, why do you want to involve innocents?"

"People always have a heart to accomplish things, and naturally a heart needs to bear things. No matter what they want, if they don't have it in their hands, they have to fight for it, as long as they fight for it, they will inevitably go against the minds of some people, and naturally, they must embark on a dead end!" Chu Fei said seriously.

"I can't talk about you, the admonition is over, and my stomach is full, naturally, I can't bother you anymore. The old beggar looked at him and smiled.

"Five years ago, I knew that my husband was not an ordinary person, and now it seems that he is naturally not an ordinary person. No matter what the road ahead, I am still grateful. Chu Fei bowed his hand.

The beggar didn't say anything more, just smiled and shook his head.

Long Ying, who had not spoken, looked at the old beggar who walked away and asked Xiang Chufei: "Do you know what the old gentleman is called?"

"Two hands, Fu Junyi. ”

"Fu Junyi, the head of the Twelve Dynasties, the first person in Xuanji?" Long Ying exclaimed.

Long Ying never thought that that person was Fu Junyi, the first of the twelve dynasties.

Fu Junyi, a master of the Xiangyuan period, no one can match the mystical calculation, even if it is a five saints, if you talk about pure exercises, I am afraid that it is not as pure as Fu Junyi.

It is rumored that Fu Junyi is the most famous for the Liangyi hexagram, which can measure life and death, prosperity and decline, and whether there is or not. Although in the Twelve Dynasties, the money shopkeeper who was born in a money village was not on par with his arithmetic skills when it was mentioned. But everyone knows that the reason why the money shopkeeper does not fall behind Fu Junyi is simply because the golden abacus, one of the four major artifacts in the world, is in his hands. Therefore, the first person in the mystery is none other than Fu Junyi.

Five years ago, since Fu Junyi pointed out a way out for Chu Jingyi and Qi Zheng, naturally, this time it must be a dead end. Chu Jingyi also seemed to be clear, but his answer just now was obviously to go against the sky.

"The head of the Twelve Dynasties, I didn't expect that the master of the Xiangyuan Period that I was looking for was met by ...... five years ago" Although he was a little surprised when he first heard the "Head of the Twelve Dynasties", Chu Fei was calm and abnormal in the next moment, which was completely unexpected by Long Ying.

Because Long Ying didn't know, in Chu Fei's eyes, the so-called immortal cultivation masters were like going to school, Xiangyuan Period, he should be regarded as a doctor, and the saint was a postdoctor. Therefore, he is not surprised only because of his own wrong self-understanding. If he really cultivated immortals, he would probably be able to understand the horror of the Twelve Dynasty Yuan.

"Jingyi, this person is so powerful, then our sick ......" Qi Ergou asked.

"It's all shown us a dead end, do you think it can cure the disease?" Chu Fei smiled bitterly.

"Hey...... Since it's a dead end, are we still leaving?" Qi Ergou asked listlessly.

"Five years ago, I walked out of the city on my back and bowed down on my knees, my feet and knees were covered in blood, and that road of life was no different from that of death. Chu Fei looked at Qi Ergou and said.

Qi Ergou looked at the city in front of him and said, "Jingyi, I know that you saved me five years ago, if that road is a living road, it was also given by you, not by him." So, if the road ahead is a dead end, it shouldn't be what he pointed me out. ”

"Hey~ Ah Zheng, has your brain evolved? Are you so eloquent?" Chu Fei suddenly looked at him and said with a smile.

"Cut, since you crossed that mountain, the way you speak has changed. I've been nurtured by you. ”

The two of you, look at me, I look at you, suddenly laughed, and seemed to have forgotten what Fu Junyi said about the road of life and death.

"Are you really not worried about the danger ahead?" Long Ying interrupted the conversation between the two and asked seriously.

The laughter of the two stopped abruptly because of this question, and then, still looking at each other, silent.

After a long time, Chu Fei turned his head to look at Long Ying and said calmly: "The head of the Twelve Dynasties is old, and his era is coming to an end. ”

"The end of an era is the beginning of an era!" Qi Ergou continued.

"But Fu Junyi is alive, and the apocalypse will not change!" Long Ying replied.

That's right, Fu Junyi is still there, and the Twelve Dynasty Yuan is still there. The apocalypse has not changed, the master is still there, and the five saints are still there. Then, how can the times change? How can these mountains, which exist like the sky, come to an end? Since they cannot end, how can their own era begin?

Who knows, Chu Fei and Qi Ergou actually said at the same time: "If fate is determined, I will break this sky!"

Long Ying was no longer as surprised as Fang Cai this time, it seemed that she had a certain immunity to their crazy words, and it seemed that it had already taken root in their hearts. But Long Ying didn't realize that it was this kind of surprise that was often assimilated by the two of them.

At first, Long Ying was interested in them just because they were disciples of the two families, but later, whether it was their speech and demeanor or the chessboard, she felt that these two people did not seem to have chosen them, but more like the two families pinned some hopes on them.

The carriage was still moving forward, getting closer and closer to the gate of Xingcheng.

"This ...... What the hell is it?" Long Ying looked at the scene outside the car in surprise.

The long dragon outside the car is still a long dragon, but it is a bloodstained long dragon.

The people who entered the city still knelt down and entered the city, but they did not have the rest of the previous period, and they moved forward step by step.

They did not dare to rest, because their rest would turn into contempt for Haotian, and the soldiers under the city gate would whip them with fierce long whips, and blood would accumulate on them. The blood was brought into the city one after another with the whipping, with the kneeling, with the screams, and countless people shed blood every day, but there were only a few soldiers guarding the door, and they were too lazy to clean up the bloodstains, and over time, it became a blood-red carpet, and it stenched.

"Xingcheng of Wei, formerly known as the Prison Pavilion, was the place where the Wei State held felons. Due to the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms, the people were not able to make a living, and many people became bandits, and after being detained by the government, most of them were sent here. Bloody gas is inevitable. Chu Fei said lazily.

"However, now this is a city, and it is one of the five cities of Wei. Long Ying said.

"The prison boxes are all felons, they are not afraid of death, they often make trouble, murder is common among prisoners, and even more than half of the jailers die unexpectedly. So, no jailer wants to be an errand here. The Wei State can only use slaves to work here, so that these slaves have at least more than fifty percent of the survival rate and are free, but in recent years, the seven countries led by the Qin State have changed their laws and adopted the feudal system, and there are fewer and fewer slaves, and there are naturally fewer and fewer jailers in the prison pavilion. Then, the prison pavilion became Xingcheng. Chu Fei explained.

"Nonsense, if there are fewer jailers, and no one will take care of the prisoners, then how can there be Xing Cheng?" Long Ying retorted.

After hearing this, Chu Fei smiled and said, "There are fewer jailers and more prisoners, which is naturally a problem. Therefore, some people proposed that the so-called prison pavilion be uprooted, which is the meaning of the Tu Pavilion. ”

"In other words, this city is built on the corpses of those prisoners?" Long Ying couldn't believe what she heard.

But Chu Fei shook his head and denied it, and then said: "But among the people of Wei, there is one person who has put forward a more interesting proposal. He believed that these prisoners were extremely valuable combat power, and in this troubled world, they could become a death squad of the army, so they were organized into the barracks. However, the nobles of Wei were afraid of their strength, so they arranged them in the newborn Xingcheng. And it comes with a high 'military spending'. ”

"You mean, the soldiers who whipped the people who entered the city...... Is it a repeat offender of the Wei State?" Long Ying couldn't believe her ears, what kind of world was this.

"Yes, they are the prisoners, and no matter what they wear, the anger on them will not dissipate. Don't you want to know how they afford the high 'military expenses'?" Chu Fei asked coldly.

Long Ying wanted to know, but she didn't ask, because she saw the gloom on Chu Fei's face, which meant that no matter what the answer was, it was not a good answer.

Who knows, Chu Fei didn't wait for her to ask, but took the initiative to answer: "At first, these prisoners were tortured by this high 'military expenses' and were worse than death, and even paid attention to rebellion, but a passer-by passing by Xingcheng gave them a suggestion. The majesty of Haotian was hyped in the city, and those who entered the city knelt down to show their piety. and handed over a portion of the incense and silver. In this way, it is possible to reduce the expenditure of 'military spending'. But the good times did not last long, and these prisoners gradually became less satisfied with these small incense money, and they began to enforce the means of bowing down and entering the city, and laying sharp gravel in front of the city gates, and those who entered the city were whipped if they rested while bowing down. I really can't stand it, and I need to hand over a huge amount of money for incense to enter the city before I can get in. Some of those who really had no money and poor physical strength would be captured as coolies or sold as prostitutes, so that they became cheap productive forces in Xingcheng. The prisoners are getting richer and richer, and the city is getting more and more wealth, but because of the blood of the soldiers defending the city, no one dares to resist one or two, and naturally, Xingcheng has become the richest, the most pious, the most simple people, and the most bandits. ”

"What do you mean...... These devout Haotian believers are all fake......" Long Ying's voice trembled.

Long Ying was born in the East China Sea, and her cultivation is called Yutian Dragon Jue, paying attention to the unity of heaven and man, naturally, and her loyalty to Haotian is higher than that of ordinary people. Xingcheng was a sacred place to her, but when Chu Fei said these devotions created by falsehood, greed, and blood, she became unsettled and a little flustered.

But it is impossible for an immortal cultivator like her to be truly shaken by an illusion, so naturally the panic is not so out of control. But she still cares about some things, I heard Chu Jingyi say that five years ago, he knelt down from here with Qi Zheng behind his back, so that way of life was the road of death and life from the beginning. A path that goes against the "apocalypse".

While they were talking, Qi Ergou didn't make a sound, but he was also listening intently. So, he still overlooked something, their carriage was too close to the city gate.

"Who are you, and why don't you bow down?" the defenders of the city ran viciously with their long whips.

Long Ying was not completely panicked, and naturally knew what this person's real intention was, not to beat them, but to collect a high amount of incense money.

Therefore, she subconsciously took a pearl used as a decoration from the golden phoenix hairpin on her head and threw it out.

But when he saw the pearl, the soldier was dumbfounded, and his mouth was wide open, and he didn't know what to say, because it was so valuable.

But when they saw that pearl, Chu Fei and Qi Ergou panicked, shut up and gritted their teeth and couldn't say a word, because that thing was too valuable.

This time, not only this soldier, but almost all the soldiers defending the city hurried over, half-bowing on the side of the horse city to "wait" for the carriage to enter the city.

After a long time, Chu Jingyi smiled helplessly, and then said: "The way to live to die, the way to death, the path to death, the apocalypse does not change, is my life not changed......"

Long Ying didn't know what he said suddenly, she didn't know what was going on, but Qi Ergou, whose face was black, said in a deep voice: "Close your crow's mouth!"

No one thought that a road of life and death would start from the golden phoenix hairpin who guarded Long Ying......
