Chapter Seventy-Eight. Historical
The next day, Qi Rusong came to the headquarters of the Demon Hunting Gate again, and Ye Chouhe had been waiting for him for a long time. "You did a good job yesterday." He said. "I thought you'd help the woman pay her debts."
"Paying off her debts can only solve the urgent need and help others thoroughly."
Ye Chouhe smiled, "It's simple to help one person, but what about helping ten thousand?" ”
"Master of the Gate, I... I don't know what to do. Qi Rusong said, "I have sold the softness on my body, but it is still a drop in the bucket." ”
"You can learn from him." Ye Chouhe said and pointed not far away.
More than a dozen ox carts slowly approached, loaded with vegetables, rice, pork, dried salted fish and other food.
At this time, he noticed a familiar figure.
"He Xiao!" He shouted in surprise.
The prince of the East Realm got out of the carriage and walked towards him with a smile on his face.
"Ahh Rusong, I didn't expect you to be here! "Today's He Xiao is wearing the same coarse cloth clothes as Ye Chouhe, with a notched hat.
"You... Why did you come..."Qi Rusong asked in surprise.
The prince of the Eastern Realm strode forward, first patted Qi Rusong's shoulder, and then respectfully saluted Ye Chou River. "Master of the Gate, I've got everything." He said.
Ye Chouhe nodded, then waved his hand, and the demon hunters under the door went to help unload the goods.
Ye Lao asked me to learn from him, that is, He Xiao has been helping the poor. "You've been helping the poor with the Master of the Gate?"
"Or else?" He Xiao said. "You think I'm the kind of kid who only eats, drinks, prostitutes, and gambles?"
Qi Rusong was a little ashamed, he really regarded He Xiao as such a playboy! "You need money to buy these things, where do you get your money?"
"Sell your property." He Xiao said with a hippie smile.
"Hugh is going to joke with me. There are so many poor people in Middle-earth City, how can you have enough money! ”
"I don't have any money, I can figure it out! For example, the filial piety of the moths in the city. He Xiao reminded him, "Last time they gave it to you, you don't want it yet!" ”
He suddenly realized, "It's used here!" ”
"Take it from the people, use it for the people!" He Xiao said, "Whoever wants to express their hearts to you in the future, don't refuse again!" Rusong, He Xiao! Ye Chouhe called the two of them, "You come in with me!" ”
The gate to the headquarters of the Demon Hunter Gate is made up of a pair of twelve-meter-high carved wooden doors.
The one on the left is made of fir wood, painted white like bones, and the one on the right is made of shimmering ebony. A moon is carved in the middle of the two doors, but the fir wood is inlaid with ebony, and the ebony is inlaid with cedar wood.
Ye Chouhe stretched out his hand to push the door, and the ancient wooden door made a "creaking" sound, and then slowly opened.
Walking inside, you are greeted by countless statues standing along the walls, tall and menacing, red candles flickering at their feet, like distant dim stars.
The nearest one was a woman more than ten meters tall, tears streaming from her eyes and pouring into the bowl she held in her arms. Beyond that was a tall man seated on a throne, carved out of sandalwood;
Further on, a pale child wields a long sword. There are also many shadows that loom in the darkness. There are hidden cavities between the idols, the shadows in which are even thicker, and every now and then there is a burning candle.
In the end, Qi Rusong found that the statue turned out to be the demon clan he had seen before!
"What? Surprised?" He Xiao said, "When I first saw these things, I had the same reaction as you. ”
"Quiet! This is the Demon Hunter Gate Temple! The master of the gate whispered to him, and they stopped talking.
Numerous tunnels have been dug inside the small hill on which the temple is located. The bedrooms of the demon hunter disciples and visitors are on the first floor. Deacons, elders live on the second floor. The third floor is forbidden to enter, and that belongs to the main gatekeeper.
They followed the head of the Demon Hunting Gate to the third floor, came to a secret room, and waited for the door to close, Ye Chouhe spoke again: "Now, if you have any complaints in your heart, just say it." ”
"Why does the Great Xia Emperor ignore these hungry people?" Qi Rusong was the first to speak.
"It's been a long time coming, and it's not a matter of saying it clearly." It was He Xiao who answered him.
"Where do you start?"
"Hey, I don't blame you, how long have you been the king of the South!" He Xiao said, "Since the princess of our Great Xia Kingdom awakened the ancient inheritance of spiritual power, the position of crown prince has been vacant for more than ten years.
As long as the position of the prince is undecided, the battle for the throne will not end. In the past ten years, the two princes have formed a party for personal gain. The entire city of Middle-earth has long been divided into three factions, and the three forces attack each other to eliminate dissidents. Who has the spare time to care about the life and death of these people! ”
"It's not that it doesn't matter, He Xiao, you need to explain this."
He Xiao let out a long sigh, "I really don't want to say good things for these people." ”
"Don't explain, I understand." Qi Rusong said, "It's not that I don't want to take care of it, but I don't dare to take care of it." ”
The population of [Rat's Nest] accounts for nearly forty percent of the entire Zhongzhou City, and the poor here live a life of begging for food day and night. In order to survive, they can only engage in illegal activities such as theft and robbery.
Because of this, any official who wants to run this place is more than he can do. If they can't solve the problem of famine at its root, they won't be able to restore order here.
It wasn't until Ye Lao moved the headquarters of the Demon Hunting Gate here that the crime rate of the [Rat's Nest] decreased.
The two princes were even more reluctant to accept this hot potato. Governance is difficult, ineffective, and costly. Qi Rusong continued to explain.
"It's rare that you can analyze the reason so quickly!" Ye Chou Daodao, "Now let me ask you, who will you support in the battle between the crown prince of the Great Xia Kingdom?" ”
"Ha, I'd like to hear your opinion too." He Xiao said.
The two divine envoys mentioned the contradiction between Ye Lao and the big man, presumably the big man was the Great Xia Emperor. The two of them are full of differences in the matter of treating Yue'er, and the Great Xia Emperor intends to deprive Yue'er of her inheritance, and Ye Lao is Yue'er's supporter!
Thinking of this, Qi Rusong took a deep breath, "I haven't seen the eldest prince, and his personality and conduct are all heard from the princess. He is like a qualified elder brother, a warrior, and his abilities in other areas are unknown.
The second prince and his people will not give up until they achieve their goals, and they have a competitive personality. And the princess who inherited the spiritual power of the Gu clan is not welcomed by the world because of her daughter. But if she inherits the throne, she will definitely be able to maintain the order of Great Xia. ”
"In that case, you're also a Orderly!" Ye Chou River Channel.
"Just order must be kept!"
"Ha, you're much better than that reckless man." He Xiao smiled, "That guy's brain won't turn, and everything will stick to the rules!" ”
"What about you? Who will it support? Qi Rusong asked him.
"I'm not the King of the East yet. But my mother is just like you. More optimistic about Yue'er. ”
"Yue'er!! Heaven is always playing tricks on people! Ye Chouhe took a deep breath, "Do you know that if you support Yue'er from now on, you will be walking on thin ice, and if you make a slight mistake, you will never recover." ”
"Indeed, especially you, Rusong." He Xiao showed his usual smile. "The second prince has traveled thousands of miles to your Lingnan City and sang a good show."
"I'll pay attention!"
"Rusong, what you have always wanted to tell me, now you can say it." Ye Chou River Channel.
"I think He Xiao should have told you everything." Qi Rusong said, "I experienced it with him." ”
"You're talking about the two powerhouses in the Sealed Land?"
"Yes!"
Ye Chouhe frowned, "According to your description, those two are indeed divine servants. You two, who can come and tell me about my ancient history of Great Xia. ”
"Thousands of years ago, the Dongsheng Continent was ruled by the Demon Clan. They worship a deity called Chiyou, which is actually the god of the wilderness, whom our ancestors called an evil god. It is precisely because of the worship of Chiyou that the demon clan has gone to glory.
And the ancestors of our human race are the slaves of these demon clans, or food is more appropriate. Our ancestors needed unpaid labor in peacetime, and in wartime they became their rations. He Xiao said.
"Until one day, the ancient gods couldn't bear it anymore. They descended on the Dongsheng Continent, passed on the method of cultivating spiritual energy to our ancestors, defeated the demon clan, and sealed the remnants of the demon clan in the Five Realms. ”
"You have a pretty good back, He Xiao!" Ye Chou Daodao, "Have you found any problems with this historical record?" ”
"Questions?" He Xiao was puzzled.
"Why is the remnant demon clan a seal, not an extermination!" Qi Rusong replied, "He Xiao, do you remember the sealing place? That place is a city, so to speak.
Sealing the remnants of the demon clan, can you be so motivated to build a city to protect the demon? ”
"Ancient books say that it is because these demon clans have coexisted with this world and cannot be completely eliminated, so this decision was made!"
Qi Rusong shook his head: "This explanation doesn't make sense!" He said, "Living in symbiosis with the world, then why seal it in the Five Realms?" Are there five different demon tribes that have this ability?
There is another point that is more difficult to explain. In the past thousands of years, there have always been demon clans who have broken through the seal and entered the Dongsheng Continent to cause chaos. According to the previous explanation, each demon disaster is the descendant of the ancient demon clan who coexisted with the world.
But their strength is too much..."
"It's too weak!" He Xiao suddenly woke up.
"That's right!" Qi Rusong continued, "And the last demon disaster in the southern realm, I secretly infiltrated the demon clan of the Netherworld. During this time, I discovered several demon tribes known as descendants of the ancient demon clan!
This shows that all the demon clans were not sealed back then! ”
"The fish that slipped through the net? But why is it only found near the Seal? He Xiao fell into deep thought.
"Is there such a possibility, our ancestors in our history books have mistakes. I don't mean the first ancestors, but the ancestors in a hundred years, a thousand years! ”
"Is it a mistake? Or on purpose! Qi Rusong asked, "Did our ancestors want to hide something?" Or... It was the order of the ancient gods! ”
"Aha, Rusong, you're exaggerating." He Xiao laughed, "Instructed by the Ancient God? What do they have to hide! ”
What does the servant of God explain? What is the purpose and meaning of their existence? Why is there never a record of a servant of God in ancient books? ”
"Master of the Gate, tell us quickly, what kind of existence is the Divine Servant?"
Ye Chouhe sighed, "The ancestors of the five major families are divine servants!" ”
"What !!" He Xiao has grown his mouth!
