Chapter 142: An Unchangeable Ending
It was finally getting dark.
Xu Chong released the Yin God, preparing to wrap his body and return to the wind drum in the night.
However, as soon as the Yin God left his body, he was instantly attracted by the huge purple halo in the sky.
“!!!”
Xu Chong's face was full of sluggishness and shock.
There are only three kinds of halos that the Yin God can see.
White, red, purple.
The white gray is because there is not much left of Shouyuan, which belongs to the normal category of birth, old age, sickness and death.
In general, a normal person, with enough longevity, and no disasters and blessings recently, is only white in the eyes of the Yin God.
And the more red parts, the faster the calamity comes, the darker the red, the greater the calamity, and the whole body is red to black, which proves that death is not far away.
The last purple is the blessing, and the law and red are the same truth.
For example, on the Huajialou boat, the flower moon seen by the yin god.
The purple halo of the whole body flows, although it is not very deep, but it is already the most blessed person Xu Chong has seen.
But right now!!
The deep purple in the distance actually stretched across the sky, rendering half of the night sky!!
You must know that the larger the range of color rendering, the stronger the realm of the person.
"What kind of existence, how can there be such a deep and terrifying blessing?!"
Xu Chong's heart trembled.
The first thing that came to his mind was Emperor Qing.
After all, Emperor Qing is the co-ruler of the dynasty and enjoys the whole world, so it is not too much to have such an exaggerated fortune.
And Emperor Qing also had enough motivation to come to Yongzhou.
But the problem is that Dou Tianyuan said that Emperor Qing has never stepped out of the imperial city for more than ten years, and no matter how big it is, it will always be hidden behind the curtain.
In order to promote natural disasters, and personally end up?
This is unlikely.
Going out in person means telling everyone that he needs a natural disaster to kill.
Now that you've told everyone, why bother with it yourself?
Basically, it can be ruled out.
And excluding Emperor Qing, the second may be about to come out.
Taiping Dao, Daoist!
Although Taiping Dao is far weaker than Daqing, it is a force that has also survived for more than a thousand years under the powerful power of the imperial court.
As a Taoist master, I can have this level of blessing, and I can understand it.
"Damn it!"
Xu Chong's face was extremely ugly.
Xue Rong's recital was written according to his meaning, and there was a sentence in it: 'I am afraid that the Taiping Dao will take advantage of the void'.
I didn't expect it to be a prophecy...... Taiping Road is really here!
Not only came, but the Taiping Dao Master personally dispatched!
Xu Chong's face changed, and he took a step in the direction of Fenggu County.
- Dangdang, Dang, Dang!
Just like the last time it was about to dawn, the alarm bell sounded wildly and shook my heart.
Xu Chong paused and stared at the purple in the sky.
It's obvious.
It doesn't matter if you don't have a phase clothes, whether you are greedy for light, or if you can't see the yin god, it's useless.
As long as he goes to Fenggu County, he will die.
What to do?
Xu Chong glanced at the panel.
After killing Xue Rong, the spirit source rose to 51, which was enough to be promoted to the second transformation of the Yin God.
However, it was useless.
The second change may be a lot stronger than the first change, but that's for yourself.
In the eyes of the Taiping Dao Master, this little improvement is equivalent to nothing.
In terms of side techniques, picking stars is at the fourth level, and 51 points of spiritual source should be enough to break through to the sky with one hand.
But the one-handed Sky Breaker is used to cross space over long distances, and it will only make him die a little faster.
Words of greed for light...... The direction of development at the parasurgical level should be to further hide itself.
There is a drama and there is a drama, but the spiritual source is not enough.
Come to think of it, he has no way to deal with it.
Xu Chong sighed.
The good thing is that things haven't gone bad to the extreme.
Although I don't know what the Taiping Daoist wants to do, I don't think I came here to kill the refugees.
It is very likely that just like the report written by Xue Rong, he took advantage of the situation to screen out refugees with good qualifications and strengthen the power of Taiping Dao.
"Let's hope so......"
With a little unwillingness, Xu Chong stayed where he was.
And so the first night passed.
During the day, the Yin God could not leave his body and could not grasp the movements of the Taiping Dao Master, so Xu Chong could only temporarily withdraw from Yongzhou and try to stay away as much as possible.
When it gets dark again, he will release the Yin God again and continue to observe.
Until the third night.
"Huh? Gone so soon?! ”
As soon as Xu Chong's Yin God left his body, he found that the purple in the sky had disappeared.
Immediately, he didn't think much about it, wrapped his body, and rushed towards Fenggu County.
The night went by.
Hai time.
When there were still about two hundred miles away from the wind drum, Xu Chongyin God returned to his body, changed his appearance with his unphased clothes, and hid his body with greedy light, and began to hurry with his physical body.
Although the alarm bell has not sounded again, after all, Taiping Road has been to the wind drum, so it is better to be cautious.
Half an hour later.
Xu Chong stopped on a small hillside, shocked.
It's still a bit far from where the refugees gather, but you can already see a lot of it.
Before his eyes, the entire refugee colony had completely changed!
Those dense and messy trellises have been replaced by rows of connected houses.
Due to the terrain, the houses are high and low, and the shape is extremely simple and rough, that is, they are simply built with soil and stones, which can only be used to shelter from the wind and rain.
But this amount ......
Hundreds of thousands!
And it's not just the buildings that have changed!
And people!
Outside the house, there were quite a few refugees who had already gotten up early.
Their faces were free of stains, and their clothes were still cheap but new.
Other than that......
Some of them chopping wood, some making fires, some washing rice, and some ...... Cut meat in washing vegetables!
Grain!
Everyone has their own food!
Xu Chong was shocked.
There is no need to guess, whether it is food or clothing, it is all provided by Taiping Road.
There are also simple houses that have been built all over the mountains in a few days...... Obviously, there is a high-level martial artist who personally takes action, otherwise it would not be possible to be so efficient.
"It takes so much effort...... I guess I want to make this a super large permanent base, right? Not afraid of the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court? ”
Xu Chongbai was puzzled and simply went to the city.
A moment later.
In a single bedroom in a two-story building, Xu Chong found Zhao Liu, who had just gotten up.
Xu Chong showed his figure, first made a gesture, and then lowered his voice and asked, "What has happened in the past few days?" ”
"Your Excellency, are you back?"
Surprise erupted from Zhao Liu's eyes, but he didn't lower his voice and said with a smile: "My lord, we don't have to be afraid of anything. ”
"Who provided the food, the clothing, and the house?"
Xu Chong asked.
"Who provided it?"
Zhao Liu scratched his head, a little puzzled: "Apart from the imperial court, who else can provide so many things." ”
“……”
Xu Chong's face was slightly sluggish, and a few words slowly spit out: "What is martial arts?" ”
"What is ......?"
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Liu's expression suddenly became in a trance, and after a while, he sobered up, and his face was already shocked.
"I remembered, I remembered..."
Zhao Liu muttered, it took a long time to calm down, and looked up at Xu Chong: "It's the Taiping Dao Master, Ji Qingzhi." ”
And so it was!
Xu Chong frowned and said, "From the moment the Taiping Dao Lord appeared, tell me everything you know." ”
"Okay."
Zhao Liu nodded and began to speak in a low voice.
Five days ago.
There was an extra sun in the sky, and the identity of the Taiping Dao Master was revealed, which instantly aroused the favor of most people.
Before the Taiping Dao Master could say more, many refugees stood up and begged to join the Taiping Dao and avenge Jiang Lao.
Ji Qingzhi didn't pay attention.
And the people who followed Ji Qing stood at the head of the city, shouted with all their strength, and informed the Quartet.
It is said that Taiping Dao is here, and it is to select qualified people to fill Taiping Dao, and not everyone has that qualification.
However, before everyone could begin to be disappointed, clouds appeared on the horizon and scattered to various areas to descend.
There were many people standing on these clouds, bringing with them countless food, clothing, medicines, and so on.
The refugees already had a good sense of order, but they did not notice the looting.
They then split into two groups, one to distribute supplies to refugees in each region, and one to build houses in each region with incredible strength.
Here's what happened on the first day.
The next day, the man standing at the head of the city awakened the memories of the refugees with the words 'what is martial arts'.
In addition to the distribution of supplies and the construction of houses, the screening of Taiping Road has also begun.
There is only one standard, and the enlightenment is more than two.
As long as you reach the triple level of enlightenment, no matter your age, whether you are male or female, no matter your background, Taiping Dao is willing to accept it.
By the time the screening was over, it was the fourth day, which was yesterday.
Then the people of Taiping Dao left with the qualified.
"Buwu has been less than two months now, and the enlightenment is double...... Is this the minimum requirement for Tai Ping Dao? ”
Xu Chong pondered and asked, "How many people have been chosen?" ”
"In the end, there were less than a thousand people."
Zhao Liu replied, "Li Xiangxue is also among them." ”
"Huh?"
Xu Chong frowned, "Before I left, he didn't even open the trick, right?" ”
"I guess I didn't register it."
Zhao Liu said, "That day, he took the initiative to find the Taiping Dao, and he showed his sixfold cultivation, and he was convicted on the spot. ”
"Sixfold ...... It's his own choice. ”
Xu Chong's face was complicated and he sighed.
If nothing else, Li Xiangxue's cultivation should be Ming Yujin.
took the initiative to find Taiping Dao, probably because Lao Li guessed something from his death.
After a pause, Xu Chong said again: "It seems that Ding Daying and the others are also gone." ”
Taiping Road was walked on the fourth day, and it is now the early morning of the sixth day, and it is not yet dawn.
In other words, on the fifth day, no one came to awaken the memories of the refugees.
"Nope."
Zhao Liu's eyes showed hatred: "Of the eight canons, three people were not selected, and Ding Daying, although he was chosen, he refused to go with Taipingdao." ”
“!!!”
Xu Chong's color changed.
Together with Ding Daying, there are four people with official status who have not left.
The other three are not to be mentioned.
Dante Daying chose to stay on his own initiative!
Why stay?
To continue to take on the responsibility of awakening memories, of course!
However......
The fifth day, that is, yesterday!
Whether it is Ding Daying or the other three, no one stands up and awakens the memories of the refugees!
"They...... Probably dead. ”
Zhao Liu's voice popped out from between his teeth, and his eyes were red.
Ding Daying and others, after Jiang Zhihong's death, took on the responsibility of awakening the memories of the refugees, and it can be said that they also continued the refugees' feelings for Jiang Zhihong.
And these are a few people, without anyone knowing, who died.
Death is silent.
I'm afraid I can't even find the body.
This made Zhao Liu instantly hate Taiping Dao to the extreme.
"Taiping Dao Master ......"
Xu Chong's face was extremely cold.
He was also resentful in his heart, but more importantly, he couldn't figure out why Taiping Dao did this.
Supplies were given, manpower was sent out, and qualified refugees were taken away.
Why do such a thing?
What good can it do to Taiping Dao by preventing the refugees from recovering their memories?
Even if it were really to lead these millions of people to rebel, it would be much more reasonable than doing so.
"Your Excellency."
Zhao Liu wiped his eyes and suddenly knelt on one knee.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Chong frowned.
"Ding Daying told his subordinates in private that if you want to remember martial arts, you must at least become an official...... And even if it is an official status, it is a felony to leak martial arts without permission. ”
"My subordinates are not officials, and I can't remember martial arts."
"Please, my lord, wake up the memories of your subordinates after dawn every day."
"Just wake up one of your subordinates."
Zhao Liu said, his face was resolute, "If the imperial court wants to pursue it, the subordinates will kill themselves as soon as possible, and they will never leave half a hidden danger for the adults." ”
"You ......"
Xu Chong was moved, and shook his head after a moment, "It's not used now." ”
"Not really?"
Zhao Liu was stunned.
"The imperial court has issued an order for disaster relief."
Xu Chong explained, "This was ten days ago, and I thought I would be able to get to Yongzhou in a few days. ”
Disaster relief?
Is the relief of the imperial court finally coming?
Zhao Liu was overjoyed at first and breathed a sigh of relief.
However, in just a moment, his mood suddenly dropped, his expression gloomy, and he didn't say a word.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Chong raised his eyebrows.
"When disaster relief comes, does it mean that we ......?"
Zhao Liu's tone was low, "Will you forget these things forever?" ”
"That's the case for the vast majority of people."
Xu Chong nodded, "But if you say it, I can arrange for Ling to become an official and set foot on the martial arts again." ”
"Your Excellency misunderstood."
"Whether it's an official status or a martial arts, it's not uncommon for subordinates."
"But Lord Jiang ......"
"Master Jiang gave us food, treated us, and let millions of people survive."
"Finally... In the end, he died fighting for us. ”
"And those of us can't even think of Lord Jiang's goodness?"
Zhao Liu raised his head, his eyes were red and wet, "My subordinates are ...... Panicked. ”
Xu Chong sighed secretly.
There's no way around it.
No matter who comes, it is impossible to elevate millions of people to official status at the same time.
Jiang Zhihong's actions are destined to be forgotten by the vast majority of people.
"Don't worry, if the relief doesn't arrive in time, I'll arrange for someone else to do it."
Xu Chong patted Zhao Liu's shoulder and walked away.
Taiping Dao's plan is unknown, and such a strange behavior makes him have to be suspicious.
The ruins of the castle tower.
The skull that belonged to Jiang Zhihong was placed on it in the same condition as when he left.
Xu Chong didn't pay attention to it, standing next to him, and the Yin God came out of his body.
Just a glance.
Tyranny crawled all over his heart.
"Hehehehehe......"
"Taiping Dao Master, what a Taiping Dao Lord......"
Xu Chong sneered again and again, and the killing intent was almost condensed as substance.
Lou Youzhi had resisted Emperor Qing's pressure, not only did Emperor Qing not continue to send troops, but instead issued an order for disaster relief.
Even if they came later, they were still there, and there was still a considerable amount of food, which was enough for these refugees to hold on until the disaster relief.
It stands to reason that the body surface of the vast majority of refugees should be a white halo.
However, in the vision of the Yin God, it is both inside the city and outside the city.
Millions of refugees, not only did they not have the slightest white light on their bodies, but the red halo was even thicker than when they left!
It is clear that these people are going to die.
It is not known what kind of death will be, but there is no doubt that they will die.
And it's going to die soon.
Who did this to you?
Needless to say, it can only be the Lord of the Peace Dao.
Xu Chong withdrew the Yin God and looked at Jiang Zhihong's skull.
"I was going to let you see a happy ending."
"Not anymore."
"You've done so much and you haven't been able to change their ending."
"Your fellow countrymen have made a move, but they still haven't been able to change their ending."
"There are always people who jump out, and they have to die."
"It's not interesting."
In this way, Jiang Zhihong's bones were collected and buried in an inconspicuous corner of the city.
After doing all this, Xu Chong returned to the city, just standing quietly, like a wood carving, waiting for the ending to come.
Time passed slowly.
It's getting dark.
Refugees start their day.
"Hiccup......
Zhang Cai sat in front of the door and patted his round belly, "It's so good to feel full." ”
"Who's to say it isn't?"
The next-door neighbor sat in front of the door, picking his teeth with a wooden thorn, "It would have been unimaginable a few months ago." ”
"Seriously, how can this court's disaster relief be the same as a trick?"
Zhang Cai tilted his head and wondered, "Suddenly there is so much more to eat, and suddenly there is an extra house...... And those people, who come and go quickly, are a little too neat. ”
"Are you stupid?"
The neighbor said disdainfully, "Others say that it is the imperial court for disaster relief, do you believe it?" ”
"If it's not disaster relief, what else can it be?"
Zhang Cai was even more puzzled.
"Think about it, if it's people from the imperial court, then they must be officers and soldiers, right? But their clothes are different. ”
The neighbor said.
"Uh...... It's not quite the same, indeed. ”
Zhang Cai nodded, and asked again: "It's not from the imperial court, why do they want to help us?" ”
"I guess they're heavenly gods."
The neighbor pointed upward, and the god chattered: "God has mercy on us, and sent the gods down to save our lives." ”
“……”
Zhang Cai was speechless for a moment.
"Don't believe it, don't talk about food and clothing."
The neighbor knocked on the wall of the house and said, "But if you think about it, this kind of house has been built so much in a few days, what else can it be if it is not a god?" ”
"It's not for nothing."
Zhang Cai scratched his head.
"Hey, don't you think there's something missing when you don't do anything?"
The neighbor on the other side poked his head out of the house and said to the two.
"What's missing?"
"In addition to eating, it seems that there is only farming, right? But a few of us have inconvenient legs and feet, and it won't be our turn to do this. ”
The two didn't understand.
"I always feel that when I am full, I should do something, instead of being in a daze like this, waiting for the next meal."
The neighbor said with a frown.
The two looked at each other and nodded at the same time: "It seems that I really feel this way." ”
After thinking about it, several people never understood why they felt this way.
In fact, such doubts are widespread among the refugee community.
They don't know, and they can't remember, that their former selves would stare in one direction, put on various different poses with a solemn expression, and use every moment in order to survive.
Xu Chong saw it in his eyes and did not interfere without any interference.
At about midnight, a horizontal black line appeared at the end of the line of sight.
Above the black line, brightly colored flags are waving in the wind.
That's a big 'celebration' word.
