Chapter 9: A Shocking Tragedy
Luo Fan's face changed, thinking of what he saw that night, he made up his mind, and said in a deep and firm voice, "Teacher, there are too many people, I'll be with you." ”
King Ming glanced at Luo Fan, "Okay, since you have embarked on the path of cultivation, you will meet sooner or later, let's go together, Liuyun and Xi'er will forget it." ”
"We're going too!" Liuyun said firmly, "Although we can't do anything, we can do something for the deceased, so as to seek peace of mind." ”
Looking at the determined second daughter, King Ming sighed, "Okay, let's go tidy up, you and Xi'er dig a bigger pit in the open space, don't go in with us." ”
After speaking, King Ming took everyone to collect the corpses, but Liuyun and Xi'er also had vitality in their bodies, and it was naturally not difficult to find some farm tools to clean up the pit, and they were quickly cleaned up.
King Ming and the coachman were responsible for carrying the body out, Qiu Feng and Luo Fan packed up some white cloths, cleaned up the corpses slightly, and covered them with white cloths to avoid scaring the second daughter.
During the whole process, Luo Fan endured the discomfort in his stomach, and each corpse had to be carefully looked at twice before being covered with a white cloth.
Suddenly, when he saw a corpse, his body tightened!
This man he has seen, or rather, he has seen this man's soul!
Just last night!
The reason why he was impressed was because there was a lightning bolt at that time, and his eyes happened to be focused on this person!
This man looked thirty or forty years old, with shaggy hair, deep-set eyes, a wine trough nose, and big yellow teeth, and at this time his eyes were round and his mouth was wide open, as if something extremely painful had happened, and as if something extremely terrible had happened.
When this person was carried out, his right hand was slightly bent into the shape of a tiger's claw, and he was holding a two-year-old boy in his arms, and the fingers of his right hand were inserted through the boy's skull!
Luo Fan looked at the boy's painful expression, looked at the boy's similar appearance to this person, his nose was slightly sore, and his throat seemed to be blocked by something.
After a long time, Luo Fan eased up, stretched out his hand to close the man's violently open eyes, and muttered, "I will avenge you!"
Yes, on the surface, they are fighting each other, but unfortunately, under what circumstances would a person attack his own flesh and blood? Why kill people and commit suicide at the same time?
Fighting in the same room is a tragic thing, and the cannibalism of father and son is even more tragic in the world! If there is no reason, how can we believe that there is such a tragic thing in the world!
Luo Fan put the corpses of the whole village in the dug pit, began to fill in the soil, set up a monument, and everyone had no intention of speaking.
After the end, everyone silently returned to the carriage and got back on the road.
"Let's all come here!" came the voice of King Ming.
Everyone gathered in King Ming's carriage, and King Ming sighed, "You are still too young, I shouldn't let you touch this, but the teacher still hopes that you will not be too sad." In this case, if there is no intervention from cultivators, no one will believe it, I hope that you can cultivate seriously, and when you become stronger, you will investigate this matter!
The four of them looked at each other and nodded firmly!
After that, nothing happened, five days later, Liuyun condensed a drop of Yuan liquid, seven days later, Xi'er was also promoted to Yuanshi, and ten days later, Qiu Feng was promoted to Yuanshi.
At this time, everyone finally walked out of the boundary of Ningzhao Mansion and entered the Jinwu Mansion where the Shattered Star Academy was located.
Walking out of Ningzhao Mansion, everyone's hearts seemed to be gone, and there were more laughter and laughter, and King Ming could be regarded as letting go of most of his thoughts.
"The government of the Qingyun Empire is only divided into regions, and does not have the function of administrative jurisdiction. "Autumn Wind will tell you, "The empire is divided into fourteen prefectures, plus the Qingyun capital. Each of the fourteen prefectures has its own prefecture. For example, the Ningzhao Mansion we just walked through includes nine county towns and one prefecture city. We are now entering the realm of Jinwu Mansion, which is also nine county towns and one prefecture city, Jiujiang, Jinwu, Ding'an, Dakang, Chongwu, Xiuwen, Jiangyin, Qianwu, Houwu and Broken Star ......"
"Wow!Qiu Feng, you know so much!" Xi'er looked at Qiu Feng enviously, "How did you carry it?"
"This is a compulsory lesson..."Qiu Feng was stunned for a moment, and reluctantly replied, "I just said that the government only corresponds to the geographical distinction, and does not have administrative jurisdiction, and the Qingyun Empire stipulates that the city lord of the government has the right to supervise the county within the scope of the government, and has no management qualifications..."
"Isn't that scattered?" said Luo Fan.
"There is no way, the Qingyun Empire has a huge territory, with a population of 15 billion, each prefecture has a population of close to one billion, and each county also has 100 million people, if the prefecture has jurisdiction, it is easy to have an impact on the stability of the empire. So there is no choice but to let the county town have a high degree of autonomy, and then let the government and city supervise the power. ”
"In this way, the empire is not afraid of the city becoming bigger?"
"The prefecture is only a supervision, and has no right to govern, and the lack of nominal jurisdiction has greatly reduced the possibility of becoming bigger. If there are still county towns stupidly following the prefecture at this time, the empire has other means to restrain it. ”
"What's the solution?" Liuyun said curiously.
"In each county, the general city lord is the Yuan King and above, in addition, each prefecture has a first-class college, the dean is Yuan Zun Xiuwei, and each county has several second-rate colleges, and the dean is Yuan Wang Xiuwei. And all the academies are directly managed by the Academy Alliance, which is different from the Dan Hall..."
"Dantang?" Luo Fan heard another new force.
"Dantang is the holy place of all alchemists in the mainland, and Dantang is responsible for the management, supervision and assessment of alchemists, and is almost equal to the Academy Alliance. However, Dantang has never participated in mainland wars for tens of thousands of years, and is single outside, at most he will send alchemists to help the injured. The Academy League is tightly tied to the Empire, so the Academy League has given jurisdiction to the three empires, and the three empires exercise the appointment and dismissal of the dean of the academy. In this way, the academy and the prefecture city seem to have no relationship with each other on the surface, but once the county or the prefecture is in chaos, the top combat power of the major academies will form a peak in an instant. ”
"Then aren't you afraid of chaos in the academy?" Luo Fan asked.
"Rub, except for Qingyun Royal Academy, other academies are forbidden to recruit local students, you say, how is the academy messy?" Qiu Feng blinked.
"Wonderful!" Luo Fan sighed with his palm, "Use the top combat power of the academy to deter the county and the prefecture, and turn the academy into a rootless ping, and deter the county through the supervision of the prefecture city, which is interlocking!"
"That's good!" Qiu Feng raised his head, "Our Shattered Star Academy is in Shattered Star City, the capital city of Jinwu Mansion, and we will pass through three big cities along the way..." ”
"Three big cities, but we only have a dozen days. Luo Fan asked curiously.
"That's right, I've been walking from Ningzhao Mansion for more than ten days, and I haven't encountered a big city, and now I've just entered the realm of Jinwu Mansion, I'm afraid it's not enough time to get to Shattered Star, right?" Liuyun asked.
"Rub, you don't know about this, right? The Siyuan Continent is too big, and we won't be able to catch up with it just by carriage. In fact, there is a Yuanli car between the county towns, and it only takes a day or two to take the Yuanli car to another county town, so our time is relatively rich. ”
"What is Yuanli car?" Luo Fan was very ashamed, compared with Qiu Feng, he was no different from a hillbilly, hey, Luo Fan thought about it, he was originally a hillbilly, thinking about it, he suddenly felt comfortable.
"The Yuanli car is a car that uses Yuanli as energy, and it does not need to be pulled by Yuanyu, but directly embedded in Yuanjing. Without waiting for Luo Fan to ask, Qiu Feng continued, "The Yuan Crystal is the crystal nucleus in the body of the Yuan Beast, and its function is similar to our human dantian, but it exists in the head of the Yuan Beast. ”
"With Yuanjing as the energy, the whole line is operated by the Empire, which is very convenient, fast and safe, and it doesn't cost much more than a chartered carriage..."
"Little Master, that's for you. The leading coachman interjected, "For civilians, the carriage is already very luxurious, and the Yuanli car is unthinkable. If it's really as cheap as you say, we won't be able to get along with the carriage for a long time!"
As they spoke, they saw a city rising in the distance.
"It doesn't look big, what kind of city is this?"
"The county seat of Jiujiang. Qiu Feng replied casually, "You can't see how big it is now, but do you know? At this speed, it will take us half a day to get there!"
"I'll wipe it!" Luo Fan accidentally snatched Qiu Feng's words, "How big is this!"
"There are about fifty million people who live in Jiujiang City!" Qiu Feng said disdainfully, "This is not big, Qingyun City is known as the holy capital, and the number of permanent residents is about 500 million!"
Everyone was shocked and silent for a long time, what is the concept of 500 million people? It is equivalent to one-third of Luo Fan's previous life living together, in comparison, all gods and demons are simply weak!
After another half a day, Jiujiang City is already close at hand, the whole city is full of cyan boulders, the city wall is hundreds of zhang high, both sides are boundless, the city gate is just above, the word "Jiujiang" is like a dragon flying and phoenix dancing, the momentum is extraordinary.
At the city gate, there is an endless stream of people queuing up to enter the city, coming and going like a shuttle, and the river is endless.
Everyone got out of the carriage and followed the flow of people and slowly entered Jiujiang City.
In Jiujiang City, it is the flow of people like weaving, rubbing shoulders, the road is nearly 100 zhang wide, and people spontaneously walk on both sides of the road.
"Yuanli car is here!" Qiu Feng said to the three.
Luo Fan and the three of them looked forward, only to see that at the end of the road ahead, a behemoth turned over, there was no entrance in front, there were two doors on the side, two rows of wheels at the bottom, without any Yuan Beast dragging, it was moving forward automatically, faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, it had come to the front, and after overtaking everyone, it went straight out of the city, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"That's fast!"
"Yes. I don't know when I'll be able to sit once in my life. ”
"Haha, old Zhangtou, let's wait for your son to become the king of Yuan!"
"Get out, my son will definitely be able to become Yuanzun in the future!"
"Hahaha!"
......
"Okay! It's all gone, don't look at it!" said King Ming disdainfully. "Look at your faces that you haven't seen the world!"
Everyone turned their heads in disbelief, and Qiu Feng said excitedly in a low voice, "Let's go, I'll take you to see what's more fun!"
"Little wind. A soft voice rang out.
