Chapter 167: The Real World
Syllable!!
The woman who suddenly rushed to the nearest place, without saying a word, I don't know where the strength came from, and slapped the man surnamed Chai in the face, and at the same time scolded angrily:
"Chai Yuan, you brute!!"
She obviously knew everything, and her blood-red eyes shone with a strange fierce light.
As she spoke, she directly blocked Lu Chen's line of sight, protecting his current body tightly behind her.
Seeing this, the man beside Chai Yuan hurriedly ran away.
Looking at the thin but upright woman in front of him, trying his best to make himself look unprovoked, Lu Chen inexplicably felt a sour nose, and a strange emotion was rising in his heart.
This woman... It's Chai Hongyu's mother, right?
In the next second, as if to confirm his judgment, the owner of his current body, that is, Chai Hongyu from his childhood, stepped forward slowly, stretched out his withered little hand and pulled the woman's dirty clothes.
"Mother... Daddy hurts Yu'er, don't beat daddy......"
Hearing this, the two of them trembled at the same time, and then Chai Mu's anger not only did not dissipate, but became even more angry and shouted at Chai Yuan: "Chai Yuan, look at Yu'er, she is so well-behaved and sensible, and you, a father, actually want to exchange your own flesh and blood for meat to steal your life, are you still human?!" ””
"Then what else do you think we can do?!"
Chai Yuan didn't fight back, but he roared with a broken face:
"Before the Yellow Disaster happened, the people of the government robbed us of our life-saving food, and also swept away all the materials in the prefecture and county, obviously trying to use the spiritual disaster to control the chaos of reincarnation. We refuse to plant, and now this yellow plague comes, and when we starve to death, this place will become a borderless land, in my opinion, this yellow plague is deliberately made by those dog officials! ”
"The imperial court can't count on it, there is no trace of disaster relief money and food, the treasury of the prefecture and county is empty, and those big men who are powerful and lucky have already run clean, and now the official roads and civil roads are all closed, what else can we do?!"
Facing her husband, who had lost her mind, Chai's mother's face still did not waver.
"The court abandoned us like nothing, and if you don't give us food, you will take Yu'er to fill your abdomen?!"
These words were like a sharp knife, instantly piercing the depths of Chai Yuan's heart, tearing apart his heart, which was originally tortured beyond recognition by extreme hunger.
"Ahh
He didn't refute Chai Mu's words, but opened his mouth violently as if he had lost his mind, and kept letting out a hysterical roar, allowing the yellow sand to continue to pour into his mouth.
It took a while for his eyes to finally regain clarity.
When reason returned to his body, he suddenly raised his hand, grabbed his head sharply and crouched down, and then let out a heart-rending cry.
Seeing this scene, Lu Chen's heart was full of feelings.
At this time, it suddenly darkened in front of him, but it was the young Chai Hongyu who was completely unconscious in extreme hunger.
Memories flow quickly.
When his gaze recovered again, Lu Chen inexplicably felt a trace of flesh lingering on his lips.
The feeling of weakness in the body has also dissipated a lot.
Where does the meat come from?
Lu Chen was puzzled.
However, when Chai Hongyu's gaze swept over Chai Yuan, who had empty eyes, and his kind mother, he keenly noticed that there was a touch of blood on the sleeve of Chai Mu's left hand, and at the same time, his shoulders were trembling unnaturally and unnaturally.
Could it be that ...
Thinking of a certain possibility, Lu Chen couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
In the days that followed, a family of three struggled to move forward with the tens of thousands of fleeing teams, trying to escape from the scope covered by the Yellow Plague and seeking a glimmer of life that I don't know existed.
However, although the Yellow Plague is not fatal for a short period of time, unlike the Flame Plague and the White Plague, which will make a large number of creatures sleep forever in an instant, its scope is extremely wide, and the yellow sand that covers the sky and the sun will make people completely lose their direction, and it is difficult to survive once they fall into it.
Soon, Chai Hongyu, who had just recovered a little strength, fainted from hunger again.
Then inexplicably woke up in the smell of meat.
Cycle.
It's as if nothing has changed.
But Lu Chen noticed that Chai Mu's left hand gradually became empty.
And then Chai Yuan's left hand...
Soon, when he woke up again, Chai Yuan disappeared and was completely buried by a sudden dust storm.
In the Yellow Plague, even the tears of grief are precious water sources, and there is not even a sentimental time, and the surviving mother and daughter continue to move forward.
Then, not long after, Chai Mu also fell into the yellow sand forever, and Chai Hongyu finally saw that her mother's left shoulder down was already empty......
Chai Hongyu, who learned the truth, howled and cried.
At this time, the tens of thousands of victims at the beginning, only more than 100 people survived to this time, and in the face of the endless yellow sand with no end in sight, they did not do it like before, as long as someone in the fleeing team fell, they immediately rushed over and ate it.
They don't have much strength left.
And the people who have survived until now basically have no flesh and blood in their bodies, no water, no salt, and it is difficult for them to even struggle to survive.
In the end, they could only fall into the yellow sand one by one.
It was only now, having personally experienced all this, that Lu Chen truly realized what a terrifying human purgatory this ancient world of high martial arts called Zhongzhou was for the low-level people who had no spiritual roots!
Although he inherited the memory of his predecessor, he knew that the life of ordinary people was not easy, and he also saw the difficulties of the people of Yuzhou.
But the predecessor was born in a high-class prefecture and county, and when the demon queen was chaotic and corruption was rampant in the government and the opposition, Yongchuan descended from the sky Xia Yan, a super good official who would rather sacrifice his own interests and let the people live and work in peace and contentment, so that although the predecessor was poor, his life was not too difficult.
At least eating is not a problem.
Although the people of Yuzhou are deeply affected by tyrants, corrupt officials and mediocre officials, the land under their feet is also spiritual soil, and when Lu Chen passed, there was no natural disaster, and the flood was also quelled, so he could get by.
But the rivers and mountains of Daxia, which stretch for 100,000 miles, are more like Chai Hongyu in childhood, and they have to face the threat of spiritual disasters from time to time.
If the government does not act, the disaster area will be a real purgatory on earth.
What's even more terrifying is that the government's inaction is becoming more and more normalized.
and even intentional connivance.
Although the spiritual disaster is terrifying, in the eyes of some people, it is not a good knife that can make a profit.
By completely substituting Chai Hongyu's life, Lu Chen started from Yi Zi's cannibalism, and in Chai Hongyu's rapidly flickering memory, he witnessed this tragedy that should have appeared in hell, and the cognition in his heart was refreshed over and over again, and his mind was shocked in addition to shock.
Chai Hongyu naturally survived in the end.
It seems that after seeing her mother's empty shoulders, she was stimulated by her mother's tragic and tragic death, or through this tragic way to fuse some kind of power, the originally thin Vermilion Bird blood in her body was completely activated, winning her a glimmer of life.
There is no memory during the coma.
When he opened his eyes again, Lu Chen found that Chai Hongyu was in a tent.
She was rescued.
Rescued by hundreds of refugees from other prefectures and counties, led by a small official, who were in slightly better condition.
These refugees were originally servants, and the servant was responsible for bringing them to work.
That little official was a good person, and when he saw that Chai Hongyu was still alive, he gave her some of his remaining supplies, and took care of Chai Hongyu in every way during the escape, completely treating her as his daughter.
Under his leadership, these victims did not lose their humanity, but supported each other to overcome the hardships together, and even if someone could not hold on and died, they would be buried properly, leaving the whole corpse, instead of becoming food for someone's belly.
In that little official, the young Chai Hongyu finally knew that not all officials in this world are dog officials in his father's mouth.
Of course, at that time, she didn't know the difference between an official and an official.
Those refugees were also very good to Chai Hongyu, often chatting with Xiao Chai Hongyu to relieve boredom, and later even regarded Chai Hongyu as their spiritual sustenance, and confided in Chai Hongyu from time to time the wishes and yearnings of these ordinary people.
And these words, after they fell into the yellow sand one after another, were deeply engraved in Chai Hongyu's mind and became her lifelong obsession.
Seeing this, Lu Chen finally vaguely felt why Chai Hongyu was so obsessed with him, and even risked his life to save him desperately in the enemy's inevitable attack, and now he even ignored his identity as a thief and personally entered Beijing to prove his innocence.
Realizing this, Lu Chen suddenly felt an indescribable heaviness, which made him a little breathless.
For the first time, he couldn't help but have self-doubt in his mind.
Ascension, is it really that important......
Or, is this system called the way of officials, the strange reward conditions, really some obvious loopholes......
Officialdom corruption is rampant, and the monks, who are the parents of the common people, only care about asking the immortals and asking the immortals without asking about the government, but they can hold important positions, decide the life and death of the people of one place, and even one side of the people's blessings, and do not think about it, and want to slaughter the people who are in trouble, and forcibly protect the peace and tranquility of one party, so the way of the official... Is there any reason for the people to be safe?
The people are so difficult, and he is obviously in an important position, shouldering the trust of the emperor, carrying the heavy responsibility of a high-ranking person and the expectations of all parties, and has enough ability and opportunity to change all this, but he puts his mind on ascending to immortal by relying on the strange conditions of the system......
So, is it really good?
Chai Hongyu is obviously a thief, but in order to keep his rare hope and pour everything, he, an upright court official, although he has also done some practical things for the people and the country, but only with these, if there is really a chance to achieve the system conditions in the future, can he really put all this aside with peace of mind and ascend to the immortal realm by dying?
The memories still last.
However, the memory behind is no longer Chai Hongyu's childhood picture, but Chai Hongyu, who has cultivated a skill, saw Lu Chen's scene for the first time when he was in Yuzhou on the night when Gou'er Village and Qu'er Village were slaughtered.
The caster of the Soul Searching Technique can feel the emotional fluctuations in the memory world of the soul searcher.
In Chai Hongyu's field of vision, Lu Chen looked at his back that suddenly pulled out the sword of the Extreme Dao, rode the imperial horse and led a group of Xuanji guards to rush to Yuzhou without hesitation, preparing to slash King Yu's back, and he could clearly feel how shocked and curious Chai Hongyu was in his heart at that time.
And, longing.
After that, he walked out of King Yu's mansion with King Yu's head, and soon met at Li Wei's house in Gouer Village, talked for the first time, and then watched him personally go to various places to help the people from afar.
In the end, it was in Fu Huan's crossing, he and a group of Xuanji guards were attacked by the enemy, and Chai Hongyu led a group of righteous people to save people.
There is no unusual intersection at all.
Proper Pingshui meets.
Obviously, when she arrives here, it is enough to prove that she and Lu Chen are innocent, and there is no collusion at all, let alone a concubine, life and death.
And with the continuous empathy, Lu Chen's heart gradually became extremely complicated.
In Chai Hongyu's heart, how dazzling she is, but ......
As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh.
And at this moment, when the memory progressed to the moment he was blasted back to Luo Jing by an enemy's fire spell, the moment his figure disappeared, the world suddenly turned red in the eyes of her, who thought he had been buried at the hands of the enemy like Fu Huan.
This memory came to an abrupt end.
I don't know if Chai Hongyu lost her mind or fell into a coma because of overdrawing her spiritual power.
But Lu Chen clearly felt that at the moment when Chai Hongyu's vision was covered with fiery red, a sudden surge of despair suddenly welled up in his heart, as if he had lost the whole world and the meaning of existence.
That strong emotion made Lu Chen's spirit tremble suddenly.
Then, the next memory followed.
After regaining consciousness again, her subordinate handed her a mysterious note, on which was written in rubbing, saying that Lu Chen was safe and sound, and that he had returned to Beijing.
Lu Chen knew that this must be Fu Huan's handiwork.
The moment he saw the above information, Lu Chen felt a deep joy.
At the same time, inside the Tai Chi Temple.
Poof...
With a few dull sounds, Chen Cang, Zhao Bingliang and several courtiers suddenly fell to the ground, and when they looked closely, their faces were full of miserable whiteness, their eyes were extremely empty, and their eyes were full of deep despair.
It's over, it's all over
"Whew~"
The empress exhaled slowly.
Things have come to this point where there is nothing to dispute about the matter.
Everything will be settled.
She slowly stretched out her hand, wiped the fine sweat on her face, and then didn't bother to look at the courtier who was moving behind her, and looked directly at Chai Hongyu, who was desperately enduring the pain of ten thousand ants devouring the letter and relieving the pain not far away, and the originally good-looking facial features on her face were twisted.
In his eyes, a look of admiration gradually revealed.
For the sake of righteousness, this woman actually did this for Lu Chen, obviously suffering unimaginable pain for ordinary people, but until now she still remained silent and did not let out a trace of painful wail, affecting Lu Chen, who was performing the soul searching technique.
This tenacity is truly terrifying.
In this world, there is a strange woman who is as tough as Lu Qing.
