Chapter 393: Born to please me
Inside, the atmosphere was a little dreary. Wu Gen introduced his origin, but did not get a response from the other party.
"Patriarch Zhang, the human race is the lowest existence in Kuntianzhou. For example, Patriarch Zhang maintained such a village, and it was very hard to think about it, and he was worried about the bullying of the shepherds all day long. It's better to get up, trap the beast and devour, live an upright life, and ask for a free one. Wu Gan tried his best to persuade him.
Zhang Daochang stood up, walked to the door and looked out with his hands, "Wu Gan, do you know how difficult it is for our human race to get to this point." Turning around slowly, Zhang Daochang's face was a little tired, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became more and more obvious.
"Our ancestors, all of us were robbed from all continents to Kuntianzhou. Floating around, slaughtered by others, how many people died under the method of extraction. It's not that no one has escaped and resisted, but not all of them have fallen under the shepherd's sword. Fortunately, there was an ancestor surnamed Zhang who was good at cultivation, and in such a harsh environment, not only did he not sink, but his cultivation became higher and higher.
He competed with the shepherd, won seven battles and seven victories, won the respect of the other party, became a good friend with the old man of Hulan, and finally entered the Ascending Heaven Palace.
In order to protect the human race in Kuntianzhou, the old man and the Hulan family agreed to set up a human village on every road in Bailing Province, and select people who can practice to enter, and the shepherds are not allowed to bully at will.
Thanks to the kindness of his old man, these villages are surnamed Zhang. You said, I have waited for several generations to breed tirelessly, so how can we give up because of your Excellency's words, and end up with a dead family. ”
Wu Yan smiled slightly, "Patriarch Zhang's words are wrong, and there is indeed a risk of losing his life if he resists, but it is by no means as alarmist as dying and destroying the clan. Besides, Patriarch Zhang seems to have talked a little less. The shepherd was so kind that he allowed the human race to thrive in peace, and he didn't have to pay any price? ”
Zhang Daochang was also calm, "Yes, every village like this has to present ten people who have practiced qi cultivation to the local 10,000 families every year. However, these people did not die of exhaustion like the others, and after a while, the shepherd would send them back with all kinds of spiritual plants and pills for the clansmen to use in their cultivation. ”
"Then these people have been subjected to the method of extraction and devouring, and the essence has been absorbed, and the cultivation that they have worked so hard to obtain will be difficult to advance again.
Moreover, how to deal with those who are unable to practice qi cultivation, it cannot be said that both parents are cultivators, and children can enter the threshold of qi cultivation, and these people will not be raised by shepherds. Wu Yan couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
"Yes, people who have received the method of extraction and devouring often cannot reach a higher level of cultivation, but at least they can save their lives." Zhang Daochang was quite unimpressed by Wu Gan's words, turned around and walked to the table and sat down.
"Even if you can't practice qi, you can still practice martial arts, and the shepherd will choose one or two of them. Moreover, among the children of these people, the probability of being able to practice qi is still relatively large, and having a few more children will always appear with qi training qualifications. ”
Wu Gan finally understood that the reason why this village was able to survive on the herdsmen's territory was because it could provide a steady stream of practitioners.
However, the shepherds did not dry up the water and fished for these people, but only cut one cut at a time like cutting grass, and then harvested it when the grass grew again. In this way, these people have been grateful.
"Then you will be willing to be a clansman, and you will be willing to let your children stay here for the rest of your life and suffer such an unbearable experience." Wu Yan sneered and put the tea bowl heavily on the table.
"That's good, at least we survived, and you guys won't have to lose our heads the next day. Everyone has their own way of living, and which is higher and lower can only be seen by the wise.
However, if any member of your clan is willing to follow you, I will not stop you. How much you can take with you depends on your ability. You may wish to stay here for a while and see how your people react. Although Zhang Daochang did not approve of Wu Gan's actions, he still left a living.
Wu Yan sighed, it can only be like this, you can't kidnap these people away.
The nine of them stayed in Liangqi Village, and when they were about to rest, Wu Gan asked a few people to be careful and take turns to keep vigil so as not to cause any accidents. After all, when we met for the first time, we didn't know each other very well. These people have lived in Kuntianzhou for a long time, and to be honest, they are probably closer to the shepherds than they are to their own people.
Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with the night. Early the next morning, Wu Gan, accompanied by Zhuo Ke and Ha Ying, turned around in the village.
Whirring, while walking, three fireballs flew in front of Wu Gan, circling and flying. When he turned his head, he saw that three and a half children were looking at him with a smile from a distance.
Wu Yan didn't expect that in such a remote place, the three people he saw at random could all practice qi, and this ratio was really amazing.
In fact, in addition to the Black Tower family, other families would also come over and ask for some people who could cultivate, but the number was smaller, which had become an unwritten rule. After all, it is impossible for the Heita family to take care of everything, so everyone needs to eat together.
It's not easy to ask for it openly, so you can only send it secretly.
The two young boys and girls who served him and Zhang Daochang yesterday are also cultivated. Originally, Zhang Daochang thought that Wu Gen was from which family, so he arranged for these two people to be present and let Wu Gen palm his eyes in advance.
Seeing that someone was molesting Wu Gan, Zhuo Ke and Ha Ying were ready to step forward to stop him. These two people are loyal to Wu Gan, no matter who you are, dare to be rude, no matter who they are, they dare to step forward and take a bite.
At this moment, a white-faced and beardless young man walked out, grabbed the three frolicking teenagers, threw them aside, and scolded with a smile: "Get out, there is no tutor, if you dare to come nonsense, be careful that I beat you." ”
The three teenagers were not afraid, and ran away to play elsewhere. The young man walked up to Wu Gan, bowed his hand, looked around and whispered, "In Xia Zhang Wuyang, I have seen a few of them." Excuse me, how many of them are tailless thieves. ”
Wu Gen raised his eyebrows and nodded, "Yes, my name is Wu Gan, Koutian Wu, the ancient Qian, we are the tailless thief." ”
The young man's face was a little excited, and he made a gesture of invitation, "Three, please come with me, there are some people in the village who want to meet a few."
I have long heard about tailless thieves, and it is really admirable that the Terrans can do such things in the land of shepherds. Actually, I've always wanted to join you, but because I don't know where the location is, and the rules of the village, I've been delaying until now. ”
Wu Gan's heart moved, and he was looking for someone to understand the thoughts of these two villagers, but he didn't fall asleep and someone sent a pillow, so he happily followed Zhang Wuyang.
When they arrived at a granary near the foot of the mountain, dozens of young people were already crowded inside, both men and women, chattering and looking at Wu Yan curiously.
"Wu Gan, there are people here who want to go out and break through, and when I heard that you are coming, they all want to see you." Zhang Wuyang pointed to the people around him. Suddenly, there was a noise in the granary, and the people behind rushed forward to see the true face of the legendary tailless thief.
Seeing this, Wu Jian jumped onto a grain stack. Smiling and looking around. Here are all young people, all of them with vigorous faces and bright eyes.
In a village of more than 7,000 people, less than 70 people have come here, although there are fewer people, but this is the seed, the hope.
His hands pressed down slightly, and the noise in the granary gradually became quieter. Wu Yan stood on the grain stack with his hands in his hands, and said loudly: "Everyone, don't squeeze, everyone can still see clearly, I, a tailless thief, are the same as you, I don't have three heads and six arms, and I don't have two more heads that are not afraid of being cut off." ”
There was laughter in the granary, and the onlookers suddenly felt that the famous tailless thief in front of them was no different from the boy next door, and they couldn't help but feel close.
Wu Yan smiled and arched his hand around, and said loudly: "Everyone, the reason why you have taken the risk to come here is because I heard that the human race here gathers, is oppressed by others, and has been reduced to humanoid medicinal herbs for generations, even with their own children and grandchildren.
How unjust, how sad, and absurd is such a fate. Therefore, my brothers and I are here today just to let you see that the human race has other ways to live, and can still walk in heaven and earth, and can also have the right to decide its own destiny.
It is not a shame to come from a humble background. Rise up, only then will you be the husband. You have also seen that I am the same age as everyone else, and I am also from a poor background, but I can still not succumb to fate and not be afraid of the powerful, because I believe that time is long, and one day, there should be a place for my generation in the world. ”
After listening to Wu Gan's words, there was silence in the granary, and these young people looked excited, staring at this young man who didn't look tall.
"However, if you tailless thieves are small and weak, and you are uncertain, and you may be killed by the shepherds at any time, when will you become powerful? In Liangqi Village, at least some eat and some wear, and this kind of situation is not a hundred times better than yours. Someone suddenly shouted.
Wu Gen raised his head and laughed, pointing at the man: "People are born to spread their wings and soar up to 90,000 miles, not to drag chains and live in a pen like pigs and sheep."
The great husband walks in the world, lives to please me, not to be trapped by others, and deserves to die a vigorous death, and does not want to endure a shameful life.
Although we tailless thieves are weak, as long as we are not afraid of death and are not afraid of strength, I believe that sooner or later, others will look up to us. ”
Another man shouted, "Let me ask you what the tailless thief is doing this." ”
As soon as this sentence came out, Wu Yan was also a little confused in his heart, what this person said was already a bit straight to the source. I can't say it, let's let the Divine Sect and the shepherds fight, and then take the opportunity to kill back to Tianyuan Continent and Beizhou.
Looking up, Wu Yan took a step forward, and a ray of sunlight shone through the gap in the roof, shining right on him.
Bathed in the holy sunshine, Wu Gan's not tall figure also looked majestic, stretched out a finger to the roof, and looked solemn, "My tailless thief is not afraid of death, it is precisely to break the cage on the head of the Kuntianzhou human race, so that this light will shine on the suffering beings." ”
For a while, there was silence in the granary, and everyone looked at Wu Gan, their eyes shining like a dawn.
Wu Yan stretched out a hand and stood stiffly in place, his eyes were stabbed by the sun, and he didn't know whether to put his hand down.
Zhang Wuyang jumped on the grain stack and shouted at everyone with an excited expression: "Everyone, my two villages seem to be alive and comfortable, but we are just pigs and sheep raised in pens. Isn't it just a two-legged pig?
As everyone has heard, only the tailless thief dares to rebel against the shepherds and break the shackles imposed on us. I, Zhang Wuyang, am willing to join them, things will be better, even if they fail, at least, I have the freedom to choose to die. ”
The crowd was excited, and they all raised their arms and shouted, and the sound almost lifted the roof of the granary.
"Ladies and gentlemen, after you go back, please tell the people around you what Mr. Wu said, and tell them that we can have another way of living." Zhang Wuyang shouted loudly.
The people in the granary gradually dispersed, and every time they left, they would glance at the young man standing in the sunlight with a warm smile on his lips.
After everyone left, Wu Yan let out a sigh of relief and jumped off the grain stack. Behind it, it was already drenched in sweat. To be honest, it's easier to fight with people than to do that.
For a while, Wu Gen regretted a little that he didn't bring Yang Zheng over, he was born in the royal family, and he was more handy at doing this kind of thing.
Accompanied by Zhang Wuyang, Wu Jian simply returned to the house directly, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good this time, but he didn't have to bother talking about it anymore.
On the way back, not only Zhang Wuyang, but even Zhuo Ke and Ha Ying looked at themselves a little differently.
At night, Wu Yan was resting, and suddenly faintly heard the sound of chaotic footsteps outside the house, and opened the door to see that the torches in the two villages were lit, and they were surrounding their own residences.
Some people died, but not completely......
