07 The Land of Purgatory

Yu Yao smiled knowingly, then tidied up his clothes and strode towards the outside of the mansion.

When he asked Xia Ding to open the door of the mansion, those soldiers immediately gathered, afraid that the city would break out of the house, and the peasant beard immediately met him, facing the city lord, still kneeling down on one knee, and his subordinates saw this, and quickly knelt down.

"Why do you salute me when I am a prisoner of the Farmer's Guard?"

"The last general is just doing his best, and now I am just ordered to watch over Lord Josuke, but Lord Josuke is still Lord Josuke, and his subordinates naturally have to salute."

"Then the old man has to ask, why are you watching Bensuke?"

"The last general only acts according to orders, as for the reason, he has never asked, and the last general has no right to ask, if Josuke-sama wants to know, wait for the lord to summon him, right?" The farmer was expressionless from beginning to end, neither humble nor arrogant, neither hot nor cold, as if it was a hard and cold stone, losing the emotions of the world.

"Wait for the Lord? Didn't Kong Jing let you imprison me? is so privately detained, but he is still mentioned to the lord, I don't know if there is a lord or General Kongjing in the eyes of the peasant guards? Yu Yao reprimanded sharply, and the anger in his expression made the kneeling soldiers panic.

Nongsu still did not have the slightest fear, he stood up, looked at Yu Yao coldly, as soon as he stretched out his hand, a soldier presented the decree to him with both hands, he opened the decree and read it: "Heaven gives Yancheng, the lord orders the subjects, Yu Yao is the head of the city auxiliary of Chiyan City, and should be for the benefit of the Lord and the people, but he went back on his own path, falsely accusing the lord to the royal city, and damaging the reputation of the city of Chiyan; He also privately met with the young master of Xuanming, but let him collude with the commander of Lu You to lead the troops to attack the Northern Yandi, there is a heart of rebellion and rebellion, not only did the city assistant not report to the master, but even more made suggestions, this crime should be punished, and now he is detained in the mansion, waiting for the final judgment of the master! ”

After the farmer finished reading it, he looked at Yu Yao coldly, with disdain in his eyes.

"Ridiculous! Since it is said that the old man secretly reported to the royal city, well, since it is said that I have something to do with the royal city, according to the law, I can only let the royal city judge the old man, even if it is the lord, he can't judge privately, and it is also said that the old man has a private view of the young master, who has seen it, I don't know if this decree is written by the lord himself, but some people with bad intentions steal the seal of the lord and pretend to be the edict. Yu Yao's gray hair fluttered in the breeze, making him look so helpless.

"You better wait for the Lord to announce these words to the Lord before you explain to the Lord, for the last general is just a guard, and it is useless for me to hear it."

Yu Yao originally thought that Nongsu would distinguish between right and wrong, hoping to let himself leave for the time being and go to the city hall, but he didn't expect it to be in vain, he suddenly felt the seriousness of the matter, so he "hummed" and turned back to the mansion.

.............................

The bird landed behind a foothill, this mountain is a separate mountain, there are no other mountains connected to its left and right, only a towering mountain range is close to it, that mountain is different from the other mountains, not a red mountain, but like a snow-capped mountain with a holy white, the mountains are surrounded by mist, and the golden red sunlight that shoots on the white mountains seems to be turned back in the middle, it seems that this mountain range is protected by an enchantment!

"Passing through this mine, there is the 'Holy Spirit Mountain' on the other side, and if it was the White Devil you mentioned, I think they would have imprisoned him there." Ruma pointed to the mountains opposite, a look of awe.

"There? What is that place? Jielan was in awe of the uniqueness of the mountain.

"Everyone here will feel ridiculous for the existence of these two mountains, one is a purgatory-like battlefield, and behind it is connected to the Sanctuary Mountain leading to the Land of the Holy Spirit, these people wait in purgatory every day for torture and death, and the ridiculous thing is that the so-called Mountain of the Holy Spirit looks down on them mockingly, watching them gasp like soulless slaves and finally perish, and what is even more ridiculous is that these people still look forward to the souls of the dead to enter the Sanctuary Mountain and be sheltered by eternal life."

There was always hatred for the gods, for holiness, for everything in the world that was worshiped as supreme in his heart, as if there was a burn in his heart that had not been cold for a long time, burning his torn heart.

Behind the mountain, there was a faint sound of stone refining and mining, and Jielan's mood became heavier and heavier, "Whether it is purgatory or the holy realm, it makes no difference to me, let's go!" ”

Jielan walked in front, Luomo looked at Jielan's hard figure, this woman, beautiful and unruly, like a blooming peony, can never hide her charm, for himself, when he met her, Luomo didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.

But he would rather it be a blessing that he was born to give him, even though he had nothing to do in this life.

......................

On the top of the side peak, as far as the eye can see, it is a large mining field, the middle of the mine has been dug out of a pit of hundreds of zhang long and wide and dozens of zhang deep, it seems that the ore in the center of the mountain has been mined, and the mine is densely covered with thousands of people, they are all the same as the original Luomo, ** upper body, bare feet, wearing tattered trouser belts, no one on the back and between the legs has no deep whip marks, some look quite strong, and some are so thin that they seem to be a dry corpse, only their skeleton is left to support the useless body.

Each of them worked silently with stiff expressions, and hundreds of them were mining ore from the cliff face, some were picking ores, putting only the best ones in baskets, and then letting the others pick the ore into the cave on the right, which seemed to extend to another place.

And everywhere there were several soldiers with whips guarding them, and they waved the leather whips in their hands, and the crisp 'crackling' sound of hitting them was incessant, but these laborers did not react at all with each whip, as if they had long been accustomed to the pain caused by the whip, and had long forgotten it, and they just hung their heads and worked expressionlessly, as if they had lost their souls.

"Where did all these people come from?" Jielan trembled a little.

"They are all prisoners of the city, but any of them will be a real prisoner, but they are all false charges."

"Prisoners? Did the lord of the castle allow prisoners to be used as coolies? ”

"City Lord? Who knows, see those who are as thin as wood? Ruma looked at the men, still with no warmth in his eyes, but with deep scars, "They will soon be sent to the cage of hell to be sacrificed to the demons like a few of my companions." ”

Several people exhaled in unison.

Luo Mo seemed to be indifferent, and he pointed to a few of them who were stronger, "These people are lucky, if they can survive five days, they can be selected into the military group, but they have only become demons without humanity." ”

"How could this happen?"
