Chapter 548: The Road to Death
readx;
Ning Chong felt that he was a bit of a fan of the authorities, and after he fully calmed down at this time, he gradually felt a lot more relieved about Tianyu. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½foββ
Because after carefully recalling, Ning Chong found that the grass where Tianyu was hiding had no traces of violent struggle or fighting. If you think about it carefully, Tianyu grew up in the Imperial Martial Sect and basically never left the Imperial Martial Sect, that is to say, in addition to the Imperial Martial Sect, it is unlikely that Tianyu will have other enemies.
And if the Imperial Martial Sect catches Tianyu, the scene will definitely not leave such a calm trace. Therefore, it can basically be said that tomorrow's rain will be gently taken away, and the person who takes away the rain should have no malicious intent.
Even, if you think about it further, Tianyu may have left by herself! Although Ning Chong didn't understand why Tianyu left without permission, this possibility is not only there, but it is not small!
After analyzing and thinking about it like this, Ning Chong's heart calmed down a lot, and he was no longer as panicked and desperate as he was when he saw Tianyu disappear. Moreover, he really didn't have any ability to look for Tianyu at this time, so he simply stopped and stopped thinking nonsense.
"Uncle, you can eat something. β
A faint smell of fragrant porridge came, and the woman had already carried a bowl of gruel and came to the cart where Ning Chong was lying. ββ
The woman knew that Ning Chong was unable to move, so she asked the girl to help carry the porridge bowl, and she stepped forward and struggled to help Ning Chong sit up on the cart.
"Uncle, you are not in good health, I will help you ......"
The woman said, picking up the porridge bowl on the ground. Pick up the spoon and carefully feed Ning Chong the porridge.
Ning Chong nodded gratefully, this is not the time to think about anything, eating porridge, Ning Chong secretly remembered the kindness of the mother and daughter, and at the same time quickly mobilized his physical skills and began to digest and absorb food, just to recover his body as soon as possible.
After the woman took care of Ning Chong and ate porridge, she continued to push the small cart to hurry.
This woman's body is not strong, and she has never practiced martial arts. Although there were only some sundries and Ning Chong alone on the board car, it was quite difficult to push. The young girl next to the woman was very sensible, and although she was young, she gritted her teeth and helped her mother as much as she could, pushing on the edge of the cart.
The mother and daughter pushed the cart and hurried, and after only a while, their foreheads were covered with sweat and their breath was heavy. ββ The mother and daughter are obviously used to hardship, and gritted their teeth without saying a word. Constantly pushing the cart forward.
Ning Chong was slightly embarrassed when he saw it. But he couldn't move at this time, so he had to continue to lie on the cart to rest, but he secretly decided in his heart that he must repay the kind mother and daughter in the future.
After eating something, Ning Chong at least felt some strength, he couldn't help the kind-hearted mother and daughter for the time being, so he took this opportunity to carefully observe the surrounding environment, and this strange convoy, to see where he was now.
What surprised Ning Chong was. As far as the eye can see, there are black rocks and gravel, and it is a black wilderness.
On the black wilderness, the sun is very vicious, shining down brightly, stabbing people's eyes, and looking at it. In the black world, you can occasionally see dead trees, and some grass and thorns emerging from the cracks in the stones, among other things. There was no more shadow of a plant, and everything seemed desolate and dead.
In the distance, a rugged road winds over the black wilderness, as if a brown line had been drawn in the black. ββOn this road, there are thousands of people, three by two, two by two, difficult to move forward.
Ning Chong had already seen that on both sides of the road, there were dead corpses from time to time, dried corpses dried by the sun, and gray-white human bones.
"Black...... Death ......"
Ning Chong looked at all this, muttering in his mouth, and suddenly his eyes opened, and a famous term had already emerged in his heart.
"Could it be...... This road is the 'road to death' to the 'Sin City'?"
In his heart, Ning Chong already remembered the "Sin City" and "Road of Death" introduced in the story.
The so-called "city of sin" refers to a city full of all kinds of vicious criminals, which is located in the "obsidian desert" directly north of Daqian.
The Great Qian Empire established the country with martial arts, and the martial style prevailed, and there were countless martial cultivators. However, since the restoration of the country, the result of the prevalence of martial arts has been that there are many crimes, and the law is really overwhelmed, and it is impossible to prevent it, and countless criminals have always caused the imperial family of the Daqian Empire to have a great headache. ββ
Even if the various sects and large and small forces on the territory of the Great Qian, they will handle the crimes within their sphere of influence according to their own methods, but the crimes in the territory directly managed by the Great Qian Imperial Family alone will make the Great Qian Imperial Family unbearable.
Historically, there was a time when many prisons in the Great Qian Empire were overcrowded with criminals, and even if the construction of prisons was accelerated, they could not keep up with the increase in criminals. After this situation lasted for decades, the Daqian royal family could not bear it, so the law of one heart appeared.
This new law is as simple as it gets, and there is only one punishment for the offender - exile to a hellish "sin city", where criminals will fight and punish each other, and let them live in a sinful environment for the rest of their lives!
For the vast majority of criminals, this is a more terrible punishment than killing their heads, because the "sin city" is extremely dirty, depraved, and dark, and even when the most vicious criminals go inside, they will be frightened and miserable by the evil inside, and they will miss the beautiful world outside.
However, what makes these most annoying and desperate is that this "sin city" can only enter and not leave, and their final outcome can only be to die in the "sin city" in remorse and despair. ββ
More than 10 years after the implementation of this new law, it immediately and effectively cracked down on crime in the Daqian Empire, and the number of criminals decreased rapidly, and the Daqian no longer had to worry about building prisons, guarding criminals, and so on, thus saving a large amount of money in the state treasury.
This approach has been very effective. And as this law has continued to this day, the reputation and story of the "Sin City" have become louder and louder, and even now the people of Daqian will use words like "Die to the Sin City" when cursing people.
In the stories and rumors, Ning Chong already knew that every criminal who was exiled to the "Sin City" would not be escorted, but would be forced to take a chronic poison, and after three months, he would have a complete attack, and then he would have a terrible death.
And if criminals want to get the antidote, the only way is to cross the arduous "road to death" and reach the "city of sin" as soon as possible.
This "road of death", starting from the Great Qianbei Pass, has been extending into the "Obsidian Desert", and finally directly leads to the Sin City in the center of the desert, and the environment is extremely difficult and dangerous. It is rumored that the criminals who can really pass through this road of death and reach Sin City can be at most half of a hundred, and the mortality rate is really appalling!
"Could it be that I was flying in the sky, and before I knew it, I flew over the road of death, and then fell unconscious and fell on the road of death?"
At this time, observing the surrounding environment, and this strange team, which was very similar to the path of death that Ning Chong had learned, he was already faintly sure in his heart, but to be completely sure, he still had to find someone to confirm it.
At this time, the mother and daughter had stopped, and they pushed the cart to the side of the road, intending to take a break and continue on their way.
Ning Chong recovered a little at this time and was already able to speak, so with doubts, he quietly asked the woman tentatively: "This lady ......" "Uncle, you're welcome, you are an elder, just call me Huiniang." β
Ning Chong nodded: "Hui Niang, what mistake did you make to be exiled......
"We're not guilty! Daddy is right, my mother and I are not guilty! Those bad people framed us!"
Before Ning Chong's words were finished, the little girl beside Hui Niang had already screamed and reacted violently, and her eyes were already red.
"Ling'er!"
Hui Niang hurriedly hugged the little girl, and the little girl threw herself into her arms and cried.
With a little apology, Hui Niang said to Ning Chong: "Old man, don't mind, this child has been very aggrieved since we were exiled......
Ning Chong smiled and said, "It's okay, I can understand......"
Although there was a small episode of Ling'er's violent reaction, Hui Niang finally took some time to talk to Ning Chong about her situation.
It turned out that Hui Niang's husband was originally an official in the imperial capital, honest and promising, but because he offended some forces, he was framed and framed. After that, Hui Niang's husband was removed from his post and the whole family was exiled with him.
During the exile, Hui Niang's husband died of illness, and Hui Niang, in grief, continued to walk towards Sin City with Ling'er. When moving forward on the road of death, the mother and daughter found Ning Chong unconscious on the side of the road, and countless people turned a blind eye to it.
After listening to Hui Niang's story, Ning Chong finally determined that he was indeed on the road to death leading to Sin City. And then, Hui Niang asked, Ning Chong also covered up, made up a reasonable excuse, and called himself "Jia Ming".
"Thanks to meeting this kind mother and daughter, otherwise I really don't know what the ending would be......"
Ning Chong thought about it, smiled, and thanked Hui Niang: "Hui Niang, thank you for saving me." β
"Uncle Jia is polite, Ling'er and I just did it easily. β
Ning Chong knew how valuable this "easy to do" was, on this road to death, most of them were criminals, selfish, and vicious, just if they didn't come to harm people, they didn't need to be expected to save people. Moreover, this road to death is extremely difficult, with a lack of food and water.
In such a situation, it is too difficult for Hui Niang and Ling'er to save people. From this point, it can also reflect how kind the mother and daughter are.
